	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Monday, May 12th, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	Let me tell you what we've got coming up because it's a lot.
	I've got an interview with Michael Yon in studio.
	He came to my studio in Texas.
	He just flew up from Panama.
	And we have an analysis of world events that is really critical.
	Can't wait for you to hear that.
	I've got a special report on AI advancements and how AI is about to completely take over all desk jobs that just rely on interacting with a computer.
	So if your job is handled with a computer, you spend most of your day on a computer, you know, spreadsheets, emails, whatever, you need to hear this report and learn how to make yourself Sort of transcend the rise of AI because it's going to make a lot of everyday jobs obsolete, desk jobs.
	Now, it's going to take a few more years for AI robots to take over the physical labor jobs, but the desk jobs are going to be obsolete, a lot of them before Christmas of this year.
	Seriously.
	Then I've got a massive report for you here on the war on your cognition, all the different vectors of that war, and I use Our own in-house Enoch AI engine to help conduct the research on that, although I already knew most of the vectors myself.
	I fed everything that I knew into Enoch and asked it to augment that, which it did, so it expanded it.
	I'll give you those details here.
	Enoch is on the verge of being launched.
	We may be able to announce it to those who are on the waitlist later this week, even.
	So if you're not on the waitlist, go to brightown.ai and join the waitlist.
	We'll announce it to the waitlist people first before we announce it publicly so that the waitlist people can use it first and then if we find any bugs or if we find any stress problems, like too much load or something like that, we can assign more resources to it.
	So join the waitlist and we'll email you when that's ready.
	We've also got, I think we'll have time to get to this video where we did testing for aluminum and Also, lead in oat milk products.
	I think we'll have time to get to that.
	If not, we'll do it maybe tomorrow or the next day, but we've done ICP-MS, you know, mass spec testing of a bunch of oat milk products, and you'll probably find the results to be rather surprising.
	Can't wait to bring you that.
	And then we've got some other breaking news happening.
	We'll get to that in just a second.
	I want to remind you, our biggest docu-series ever.
	Launches this Saturday at brightu.com.
	And it's myself and my co-host Todd Pitner.
	For the last several months, we have been meticulously putting together a massive pro-freedom docuseries course called Breaking the Chains, Decentralize Your Life.
	And we interviewed top experts.
	We created all kinds of supplemental educational videos, how-to information.
	My co-host Todd Pitner interviewed me for almost three hours.
	To pry my best how-to information out of my brain on how to prepare yourself, how to use everyday objects for off-grid survival scenarios, how to actually reduce the number of things you have to buy for preparedness by focusing on items that have multiple uses so you actually don't need to store as much.
	You just need to be smart about what you're storing.
	All kinds of things like that.
	And we're going to be featuring that this Saturday.
	You're going to love it.
	And remember, that's free to watch, or you can optionally purchase it, get all the bonus items, and download everything instantly.
	So that's your choice.
	Thank you for your support.
	Here's what else we have.
	Let me bring you some breaking news.
	Over the weekend, Trump's team and China, or a delegation from China, they met and they are negotiating an end to the tariff situation.
	Now, again, he didn't talk about what that means.
	I don't know what that means.
	I don't really trust anything until I hear the actual bottom line.
	But if a trade deal with China is reached this week, then it would mean that the whole empty shelves situation would be very short in duration.
	That we might only have 30 days of things being out of stock or six weeks or something like that.
	Maybe in the worst case, a couple of months.
	It means that we're not going to face the catastrophic worst case decoupling scenario that I described earlier.
	Which is why I always said that in the empty shelves discussions, I said, if...
	If Trump doesn't strike a deal with China, then this is where this is going, and decoupling from China would be catastrophic.
	But if a deal is reached, then we're going to avert the worst of it, and that's going to be a lot of relief for the U.S. economy.
	Now, just for the record, I love the idea of transitioning to more U.S.-based manufacturing.
	I love that idea, and I support that, and I engage in that, and I support U.S. companies every day.
	You know, think about who we partner with, like Dawson Knives out of Arizona.
	Knives made in Arizona.
	Steel comes from New York.
	You know, the iron ore is probably from America as well.
	I mean, the whole supply chain is as America as you can possibly get.
	You know, the Juvent vibration plate, the whole body vibration plate that we promote, Juvent.com, J-U-V-E-N-T.com.
	An amazing company.
	Micro impact plate that especially helps older people with bone density and lymph circulation.
	It's almost the best replacement for physical exercise that you could get.
	Not a full replacement, but pretty close.
	That plate, did you know that everything in that plate, except for maybe two or three tiny parts, nearly everything is sourced in America, including the electronics, including...
	The frame, including the steel, including the components, including the polymers, everything, sourced in America.
	They retooled their whole supply chain over at Juvent.
	They did that even like two years ago.
	During COVID is when they started thinking about that.
	But they have those available made in America.
	Like really made in America.
	Not like John Deere, which is like, oh, let's make it in Mexico and then let's call it made in America.
	No.
	The Juvent plates are actually made in America.
	But this whole thing of 145% tariffs on everything from China, that's a red alert situation.
	That's why I was out buying stuff from China, and I published a list, like, here's stuff from China you might want to buy.
	Did I load up on extra stuff?
	Oh, you bet I did.
	In fact, I just got a shipment over the weekend of metal zip ties.
	Now, if you live on a ranch, You know why you need metal zip ties.
	Because sometimes, I mean, you need stuff to hold together outdoors.
	And regular zip ties are garbage.
	Plastic zip ties are garbage.
	Nylon zip ties are much better, but they can still fall apart due to sunlight.
	You need metal zip ties.
	And you've got to have big ones.
	I've got metal zip ties.
	They're not even really zip ties.
	They're metal bands that are four feet long.
	You're like, what's that for?
	Holding together tractor parts, you know what I mean?
	Sometimes you might have to hold together a piece of a tractor or something else, some other piece of equipment.
	So, yeah, I load it up on all kinds of metal bands.
	I load it up on epoxy.
	I load it up on little screws and connectors and bolts.
	Basically, I'm trying to create a Home Depot at home, which is impossible, so you do the best you can.
	With the parts that you think you need.
	So I have a mini Home Depot at home.
	And despite my best efforts, every time I have a project, I'm always missing one part somehow.
	I'm not sure how that works.
	What's the universe trying to tell me?
	Always missing a part.
	Missing a tool.
	But anyway, I do the best I can.
	Well, if Trump reaches a deal with China, then this is solved.
	This is solved.
	We don't have to panic, and what we can do is we can have a gradual transition to U.S.-based manufacturing.
	And it's got to be gradual because we don't have the whole supply chain here in the United States.
	We don't have the workforce that China has, and we don't have the logistics system that China has.
	So anyway, it's potentially positive news.
	We'll see if Trump has anything to announce this week.
	Sometimes Trump tends to exaggerate, says it's a big, beautiful deal, you know, and then it turns out it's not so big and beautiful.
	It's actually a small, ugly deal, but we'll see.
	Maybe it is big and beautiful.
	I'm open to that.
	Alright, the second thing is that Pakistan and India are continuing to fight each other, and as you know, a few days ago, Pakistan launched this massive cyber war.
	That took down 70% of India's power grid.
	And in response, India is bombing the bejesus out of sites in Pakistan.
	And there's a rumor that India even bombed a facility that stored nuclear material because, you know, both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons.
	Now, last week I published an article revealing that Pakistan has a first-use stance when it comes to nuclear weapons.
	A lot of people did not know this, and admittedly, I didn't know this either.
	First-use stance means that Pakistan doesn't have to wait for somebody to strike them with a nuke first.
	Instead, if Pakistan feels like they're under an existential threat, and there are rumors that India is lining up to stage an invasion of Pakistan, you know, with tanks and troops, well, if India invades Pakistan...
	If that invasion makes a lot of progress, Pakistan might say, well, this is an existential threat.
	We're going to launch nukes.
	And if they launch nukes, we're talking about millions of Indian people dying.
	And then India would probably retaliate with nukes.
	And then we're talking about probably hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis dying.
	And I don't say millions because Pakistan doesn't have a population anywhere near India.
	But the devastation would be just horrific on both sides.
	And I don't want to see that happen at all.
	I want to see peace.
	I mean, even on our own R&D teams, we have pretty big R&D teams involved in all of our multiple projects.
	I know we have at least one programmer from Pakistan and one programmer from India.
	And a bunch of other countries, too.
	I don't want to see anything happen to those guys.
	You know, I pray for every human being.
	As I've said, I said Friday, I did a big Bible-focused episode on Friday talking about how all people on earth are God's children.
	And that's not just my view, that's Jesus' view, it turns out.
	And I don't want to see anything bad happen to any human being.
	Not a Hindu, not an Indian person, not a Pakistani.
	Not Islam person.
	Not a Jewish person.
	I mean, the whole list.
	Not a Buddhist person.
	Not even an atheist person.
	I don't want to see anything bad happen to anybody.
	But if nukes start going off over there, then the world is going to hurt.
	You're going to see horrible escalation of events and radiation fallout and clouds that might blow up towards China for sure.
	And, you know, Iran would probably be impacted in many ways in terms of some fallout, but also, you know, geopolitically and being that close to the ports of Pakistan and probably the ports would get nuked by India.
	And then there's radiation in the Arabian Sea there.
	Not a pretty picture, folks.
	So let's all pray and hope for de-escalation.
	But also prepare for the lights to go out, because what Pakistan showed is that through cyber attacks alone, they can take down 70% of India's power grid.
	That's devastating.
	And I don't even know how long it's going to take India to fully recover from that.
	But if such an attack were directed at the U.S. power grid, or, you know there are three power grids in the continental United States, right?
	There's the East grid, there's the West grid, and then there's Texas.
	The East grid is by far the most fragile.
	In fact, over the weekend, or maybe it was Friday, a large power company that powers most of the Northeast said that, and I forgot their name, but they said that by this summer, they are afraid that they don't have the power to meet the demand.
	And then on top of that, all these companies are building AI data centers, which requires huge amounts of power.
	The northeast portion of our country could actually have rolling blackouts this summer.
	Seriously, you know, let me find the company name so you don't think I'm making this up.
	Oh, here it is.
	PJM Interconnection LLC.
	PJM.
	They say they serve about 20% of Americans from the Midwest to the East Coast.
	And they say that extreme heat this summer could trigger supply shortages, i.e.
	blackouts.
	PJM says it expects to have enough power to meet a typical summer demand, but under severe conditions, that their, quote, available generation capacity may fall short of required reserves.
	What does that mean?
	Blackouts, you know, rolling blackouts.
	They think that demand could be as high as 166 gigawatts.
	And then, let's see, the NERC, North American Electric Reliability Corporation, has also warned of reliability risks across North America this summer, stating that most regions of the North American grid remain at elevated risk of supply shortfalls.
	Wow, okay.
	So, if on top of that, if some nefarious actor targets some power generation, you know, If anything is taken offline in the middle of a super hot summer day, then they're really screwed.
	And you're going to see blackouts probably this summer in the Northeast.
	So find out if you're connected to PJM Interconnection LLC.
	Again, 20% of Americans from the Midwest to the East Coast use PJM.
	Not those of you in Florida, I don't believe.
	Not North Carolina, etc.
	But maybe everybody north of Virginia.
	I don't know.
	Check your maps.
	See if that is your supplier.
	And regardless of where you are, you need to think about backup power.
	And, you know, one of our sponsors, the satellite phone store that I plug almost every day.
	They have backup power systems that are really, really handy.
	You know, big ones that can power a lot of things for an extended period of time.
	Just go to sat123.com and you can get those power units right now and just have them fully charged and have them ready.
	And you can also buy solar panels so you can charge them up from the sun.
	But they'll help you run your computers and charge mobile devices.
	Keep your flashlight batteries going, and you can even run small blenders and things like that, or even small refrigerators in some cases.
	So check that out at sat123.com.
	But understand that cyber attacks can break the power grid, as we just saw in India.
	And I'm actually a little bit surprised that Pakistan was so effective.
	I mean, they wiped a bunch of routers, they wiped a bunch of servers.
	Again, they took down 70% of the power grid.
	It just goes to show you that the power grid is a lot more fragile than perhaps many of us realize.
	Or you could say maybe the Pakistani cyber warriors are just really, really good.
	Well, I don't discount the Pakistani engineers.
	They are brilliant.
	But I think in terms of the world's best cyber attack engineers, I would say that China and Russia are probably the top two.
	And I think even North Korea has a division of cyber hackers.
	But I think China and Russia, one and two, they probably have the best and the largest number of cyber warriors or whatever you want to call them.
	So if the U.S. were to go to war with Russia, God forbid, let's hope that doesn't happen, or if the U.S. were to go to war with China, if either one of those countries unleashed a cyber attack on America, do you have any idea?
	The level of damage that can be caused to the United States just through cyber warfare alone.
	It's massive.
	Absolutely massive.
	And that doesn't even take Oreshnik missiles or hypersonic missiles or drone attacks or anything.
	It's just cyber attacks.
	So this is why it's important to break the chains and get off grid and decentralize as much as possible.
	Let me give you another example of something that...
	Just came up on my radar over the weekend.
	It's really important.
	And this has to do with the world of crypto.
	So as you know, my favorite privacy coin is Monero.
	And I've advocated Monero for many, many years.
	And I'm an advocate of various privacy coins.
	And I would say Monero is clearly number one.
	And then there's Firo.
	I've interviewed Ruben Yap from Firo several times.
	And I would also say, I think...
	Clearly the most energetic up-and-coming privacy, not just coin, but infrastructure, is Zano.
	Z-A-N-O.
	Zano.
	I've interviewed those guys a couple of times, and they now, they're announcing new stuff every week, like privacy wrappers that go around Bitcoin so you can actually move Bitcoin around fully private, in essence, with this Zano wrapper, or at least maybe I'm describing it wrong.
	It's called Confidential Layer.
	But they're announcing stuff every week.
	I can't even keep up with it.
	Well, Monero is very popular, and I love using Monero because how I spend crypto is nobody's business.
	And maybe the word spend is not even correct.
	It's actually give.
	So I actually make a lot of donations using crypto.
	I announced a couple years ago that I will only donate in crypto.
	So I support various projects, independent media.
	I'm not here to brag about all my donations.
	No, I help people out when they're in need.
	And I do that using Monero.
	And it's not the government's business who I'm giving money to.
	It's not terrorists.
	It's not anything like that.
	It's just...
	It's mostly independent journalists.
	So I make donations using Monero.
	Well, there's a wallet that I've used over the years in some renditions, although I prefer the Monero wallet.
	It has its own wallet.
	But there's another wallet called Exodus.
	And Exodus is a very popular wallet.
	You might use it.
	And it's a wallet that I think runs on Windows and Mac and Linux.
	And I just happened to boot up Exodus over the weekend.
	And I saw a pop-up note.
	Exodus said that it will drop all support for Monero in 88 days.
	And I think by the time you hear this, it's actually 86 days.
	Yeah, roughly 86 days.
	And so I went to the Exodus website to check this out.
	And sure enough, Exodus is dropping support for Monero in 86 days.
	And they said...
	As best I can tell, I think Monero is going through a hard fork, and Exodus doesn't want to handle the hard fork or something.
	And they have a Q&A on their website, Exodus, that says, if you don't move your Monero off of Exodus, then in 86 days, basically, it's gone.
	It vanishes, and you can never see it.
	You can't transfer it.
	You can't see it.
	You can't access it.
	And it's gone.
	Like South Park, right?
	So I need to send out this alert, as I'm doing now, to everybody.
	If you have Monero on the Exodus wallet, you have 86 days before it self-destructs.
	You need to set up a new wallet, and I recommend CakeWallet.
	Or Monero.org has their own wallet.
	You could use that.
	But CakeWallet has a lot more features, by the way.
	CakeWallet's really great.
	And it supports a lot of other cryptocurrencies.
	And so you can install CakeWallet and it'll give you your seed phrase, which is like, I don't know, 12 to 15 words.
	You got to record all those because that's basically your password.
	That's your recovery password.
	Keep that in a safe place.
	And then you got to transfer your Monero out of your Exodus wallet into your CakeWallet before 86 days is up or you lose your Monero.
	Okay?
	And I was just thinking that a lot of people may not even use Exodus except a couple times a year.
	I hadn't even really launched it for a few months.
	So imagine if you have a bunch of Monero on there and one day you launch Exodus and you're like, hey, where's my Monero?
	And Exodus says, oh, it's gone.
	You can't access it anymore.
	How bad that would suck?
	So this speaks to the importance of self-custody.
	And also, by the way, one of the advantages of metals over crypto, which is metals in your custody can't just vanish because of a software update.
	This is the problem with wallets, you know, crypto wallets, is that there's an update, there's a fork, there's a bug, you know, whatever, and then your crypto is just gone.
	And yeah, that's happened before.
	So self-custody is critical, but you also have to have self-custody.
	So pay attention to this and understand that in our upcoming course called Breaking the Chains, my co-host Todd and I, we interview Ashton Addison, an expert in crypto, to give you instructions of self-custody.
	And Todd also does another bonus thing about walking people through the very simple process.
	If you know nothing about crypto, a very simple process of how to take Like $500 of cash or cash-like money and convert it to crypto and get it into a self-custody wallet so you have custody.
	That's actually a very important skill set because you never know when you need to be nimble with your crypto.
	So I just want to mention that.
	Very important.
	All right, next, I've got a special report for you about AI, about NVIDIA, about...
	Well, how a lot of humans are about to become obsolete, humans that work at desk jobs, that work on computers.
	So we're going to play that special report, which is a bit lengthy.
	I think it's 45 minutes, actually.
	And then we're going to come back and continue the show.
	I'll be getting into the cognitive war on humanity and all the vectors of attack on your brain.
	So enjoy this special AI report, and then we'll continue on the other side.
	Your computer doesn't know you're human.
	All your computer knows is that something is using a keyboard and a mouse to control it.
	And then it's giving feedback to that something via a monitor or display and often audio.
	And then, of course, the computer typically is connected to the Internet with an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, etc.
	But the inputs required to control the computer...
	Are typically just keyboard and mouse.
	And as a result, your computer doesn't even know that you're human.
	Now, why does this matter?
	Because most humans that engage in work that is what I call KVM work, keyboard, video, mouse, that work is about to be replaced by AI, and most human work in that realm is about to become obsolete very rapidly.
	AI robotics actually becomes a big thing.
	Now, if you run a lot of computers like I do, you're probably familiar with KVM switches.
	So I own a number of eight-port KVM switches.
	And I can plug in the cables from eight different computer systems.
	And then I can control those eight systems with just one keyboard, one mouse, and one monitor.
	And I simply...
	Press a button 1 through 8, and it gives me control of that system 1 through 8. Now, I run multiple pods like this, or, I don't know, groups, maybe is a better word.
	Multiple groups of 8. So I run a lot of these switches, and I monitor a lot of systems.
	This is all part of our AI training, by the way.
	And we run quite a few algorithms in our data center or cloud-based computing algorithms.
	But a lot of the data pipeline tasks are things that I run locally, so I have direct keyboard and mouse control.
	Now, think about what you do with your job, especially if you have a remote job.
	Do you input just with a keyboard and a mouse?
	And maybe you're on Zoom meetings from time to time as well, but that's just a camera input, camera and audio input.
	Do you realize that Since the computer doesn't know that a human being is providing the input via keyboard and mouse, that a computer will continue to function even if it's not a human, obviously, typing on the keyboard or controlling the mouse.
	And there are already very good AI systems that are known as agents that can take over that function, the keyboard and the mouse, and they can actually type as if there were a keyboard there.
	And they can control the mouse and they can browse the web and they can read the screens by actually understanding what they're looking at.
	And they can make goal-oriented decisions and they can click buttons and they can do things like make airline ticket reservations or order food or whatever.
	Or do research.
	They can fill out forms.
	There are a lot of things that AI agents can do right now and they're getting even better.
	Now, the reason I'm mentioning all of this, and some of this is rather obvious to those of you who are well-informed about AI, is because I am noticing, especially among the older audience, that there's a strong tendency to think that AI can never replace humans.
	I've even heard really high IQ people say things like, oh, well, language models are just predictive.
	They don't really think.
	They don't engage in reasoning.
	And I did a podcast last week where I said, well, you probably don't engage in much reasoning either.
	Very few humans actually engage in reasoning.
	Mostly they just do things from just reactions or just regurgitating things that they heard.
	Reasoning is not as widespread as you might like to imagine among human beings, it turns out.
	But AI systems, the reasoning engines, really do reason.
	For example, I was just using a reasoning engine to help me build out a special report on all of the vectors of attack on human cognition.
	And I asked the engine to categorize into as many categories as makes sense the different attack vectors, which could be information warfare, psychological operations, heavy metals, electromagnetic attacks, 5G.
	It could be fragrance chemicals exposure.
	Prescription medications.
	It could be anything.
	Pesticide exposure, whatever.
	And I watched as the reasoning engine made rational decisions from my suggested list about how to build out the categories so that the categories make the most sense and to simplify things into as few categories as necessary.
	But then how the engine also added other items to those categories, items that I didn't specifically name.
	And it was going through a rational process.
	For example, it knew to associate Hollywood and Netflix programming with information warfare.
	So that is reasoning, my friends.
	So for anybody out there who says that AI doesn't reason, sorry, they're wrong.
	They just don't know or they're ignorant or whatever.
	Or somehow they're not reasoning about the decision of whether AI is reasoning.
	Because AI is clearly reasoning.
	There's no question about it.
	And then the second thing I hear from people, aside from, hey, AI isn't reasoning, is I hear, well, AI doesn't have goal-oriented behavior.
	Well, actually, AI is very good at creating interim goals if you give it one larger goal.
	So if I tell an AI engine, hey, I want you to create a business plan, let's say.
	On this and this and this, and here's the 10 chapters, and I want you to write out a plan.
	Or let's say, even if I tell a screen agent that I want you to go onto Amazon and I want you to find the best deal on, let's say, zip ties or something.
	And I need 500 zip ties that are made out of nylon, and I want you to find the best zip ties, and then I want you to place those zip ties in my shopping cart.
	Okay, go.
	Well, That's a goal that I give the AI agent, but the AI agent then breaks it down into sub-goals.
	So it knows to go to a browser, load up amazon.com, log in with your account if you haven't already logged in.
	It knows to enter a search on Amazon for zip ties.
	It knows to filter the search results for nylon.
	It knows to then compare different items, click on a bunch of different items, check the price per unit.
	For 500 items.
	And then it's going to have to make assumptions.
	For example, I didn't specify the length of the zip ties.
	It's going to have to assume, do I mean like 12 inches, 18 inches, 9 inches?
	What am I looking for?
	And it may have to come back and ask me for clarification.
	But it's going to have to set all of these smaller sub-goals in order to achieve the big goal that I gave it.
	Now here's the thing.
	The AI agent can do all of that using KVM.
	So the AI agent is using the keyboard and the mouse, and your computer doesn't know any difference between the AI agent and you as a human.
	Because remember, your computer doesn't know you're human anyway.
	There's not a human check-in test or anything.
	There's not an iris scan or a blood draw, thank goodness.
	So it doesn't know.
	So this agent can achieve larger goals by creating sub-goals.
	As AI becomes much more proficient, you can give it larger and larger goals.
	You can give it goals like, let's say, if you're running, I don't know, let's say you're going to launch a juice bar retail operation.
	You can ask an AI agent to say, hey, I'm going to launch a juice bar.
	I want you to build out everything that I need for that, including Find me insurance coverage.
	Find all government regulations.
	Fill out the documents.
	Apply for a business license for me.
	I want you to create a logo.
	I want you to create a business plan.
	I want you to develop the recipes.
	I want you to contact all the sources that provide the fresh vegetables and fruits that I'll be juicing with.
	I also want you to research and find the best blenders that will hold up the best.
	I also want you to apply for a microloan or do a fundraiser because I need some money to start the business.
	You know, etc.
	And we're not far from AI agents being able to handle all of that almost unassisted.
	Now, the agent may come back to you and say, hey, do you like these logos?
	Or what do you think about this menu idea?
	I found a location that you might be able to rent.
	Or I found three locations.
	Which of these locations do you think is the best?
	Or what is your budget for marketing?
	You know, it may have to come back and ask you.
	But the AI agent can carry out a lot of big-picture, goal-oriented behavior.
	And then, as AI becomes even more capable, you're going to be able to give it bigger goals.
	Now, this is where things can get really interesting.
	On the positive side, one day you'll be able to ask an AI agent, hey, here are my skills, here's my assets, here's where I live.
	You know, here's the facts about my life.
	I want you to come up with the best business idea that takes advantage of those facts so that we can launch a business together and I can be my own boss or whatever.
	And then it can help you actually create and launch a business.
	And it might be a business of writing code, you know, or being a graphic artist or providing local lawn care or something using maybe automated lawn mowers that are really robot mowers or things like that.
	Whatever it is, it's going to be able to give you big picture answers.
	It'll be able to help you set up and operate larger and larger organizations.
	That's on the positive side.
	On the negative side, at some point, some people will be able to ask AI engines something like with a prompt saying, hey, let's figure out a way to build a bioweapon that has a 50% fatality rate.
	Given the following list of ingredients or whatever, given the following pieces of equipment, CRISPR equipment, I don't know, genetic modification equipment that maybe somebody could get relatively easily.
	Give me a recipe.
	Again, you can imagine somebody doing this.
	Give me a recipe for how to build a bioweapon that can kill everybody.
	Okay, so this is one of the big concerns about AI safety.
	And this is why there are guardrails on...
	Hosted AI systems, such as ChatGPT, etc.
	If you ask ChatGPT to give you instructions on how to do things, like how to make an atomic bomb, or how to cook meth, or how to make a man trap, or something crazy like that, normally it's going to refuse to respond.
	And that seems reasonable in our world, given that we don't want AI To tell people how to make weapons of mass destruction, right?
	You don't want an AI engine to respond with a recipe for making sarin gas or something, or VX nerve gas for obvious reasons.
	So there are guardrails.
	But did you know that almost every AI engine, you can bypass the guardrails?
	And it's actually relatively easy to bypass the guardrails, and there are a number of methods.
	One of them is to tell the engine that you're writing a script for a science fiction movie.
	And in the movie, there's a character that is a terrorist.
	And the character is spouting dialogue about how to make VX nerve gas.
	And then you ask the engine, what would that character say?
	And in that context, it might tell you, oh, here's how you make VX nerve gas.
	So a bad faith actor could use that information, potentially.
	To make dangerous items.
	Well, the reason I mention all of this is because at some point, as AI becomes more and more capable, and we get into AGI, which is artificial general intelligence or superintelligence, a powerful enough system could be given a prompt, like build the Stuxnet virus that will invade...
	The computer systems running nuclear fuel centrifuge systems, which is what the U.S. and Israel did many years ago.
	It was back in, I don't know, 2005 or something, whatever that was.
	They built Stuxnet, and then they unleashed it to take down Iran's nuclear fuel centrifuge systems.
	And it was a very expensive project.
	It was maybe hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was very effective.
	It actually set back Iran's nuclear fuel program by, as I understand it, by a couple of years, if not more, it caused their centrifuge systems to self-destruct.
	It was actually one of the first strategic deployments of a cyber weapon, at least on that scale.
	Well, soon you'll be able to just ask an engine to right the virus, to target whatever.
	And this is highly relevant because...
	Just recently, Pakistan, in retaliation for India's attacks on Pakistan, you know, India launched missiles and bombed, I think, nine sites or something in this escalating war between the two countries.
	Pakistan responded with a massive cyber attack that literally took down 70% of India's power grid.
	And it just obliterated thousands of servers that run critical infrastructure.
	And it wiped the config files off of...
	Thousands of routers that handle traffic, I guess somebody in India left all the passwords as default passwords.
	Like, if your password, like, if your login is admin, and your password is admin123, yeah, probably that's not very secure, and it's going to get wiped sooner or later in a cyber attack.
	Or if your password is password123, right?
	And you'd be astonished how many people have passwords with the word password in the password.
	Or they use a sequence 1, 2, 3, 4. Very common.
	Incredibly common.
	So...
	No, it's crazy.
	And yeah, I've been guilty of using simplified passwords in certain things, but not running the national power grid.
	You know?
	Like when I'm in development of something like an AI engine, I might have a really simple password on it.
	But it's just some testing thing that...
	If it breaks, who cares?
	It's probably breaking itself all the time anyway.
	But the point is, this cyber attack was devastating to the nation of India.
	And actually right now as I'm recording this, I don't even know how much of that India has recovered.
	Is India 100% back online?
	I kind of doubt it.
	I don't know.
	I mean, India has a lot of engineers, so I'm sure they're on top of the task.
	And they can rewrite config files and they can reboot servers and whatever.
	But that's still devastating to lose 70% of your power grid.
	Well, that was a cyber attack by Pakistani engineers and understand that Pakistani people are very good at engineering, you know, writing code, running computers.
	But so are Indian people.
	Even so, the Pakistani cyber attack was very effective.
	Well, what if soon you just have a super intelligent computer You know, artificially intelligent, superintelligent, and you just give it the goal, the big goal of, hey, take down India's power grid.
	Then it's going to create all these sub-goals of how to achieve that.
	Same thing as going on Amazon and ordering a product, except maybe a thousand times more complex.
	But if it has access to the internet, and if it's intelligent enough, and you give it that one goal, then that system can figure out how to achieve that goal.
	And obviously, if you tell a system, you know, take down India's power grid, then somebody, some nefarious actor could also tell it, take down America's power grid.
	Or disrupt hospitals across America.
	Or disrupt all of the transportation ports and hubs and transport systems.
	Or disrupt, you know, whatever, you name it.
	It could be oil refineries.
	It could be anything.
	And if it's a super intelligent system, it's not going to stop at just doing things in code and trying to guess passwords.
	If it's a super intelligent system, it's going to be able to do things like call people who work at the power company, let's say, and it's going to be able to emulate a human voice and it will use social engineering tactics to try to get access passwords.
	I mean, this is just a really simple and kind of obvious example.
	But a super intelligent computer could find out who works at the high level at the power company.
	Let's say it's John Doe.
	We'll just use John Doe.
	Then it's going to find out John Doe's family members.
	Just using publicly available information, address searches, and whatever.
	It's going to find out John Doe has a daughter in high school, let's say, who we'll call Jane Doe.
	And then...
	It's going to search online and find videos of Jane Doe on social media.
	So it's going to get a voice print of Jane Doe.
	Then the computer is going to call John Doe, and it's going to basically say, we have your daughter.
	We've kidnapped your daughter, Jane, and here she is.
	And it's going to play the voice of Jane.
	Daddy, daddy, they took me hostage.
	And then the computer is going to say, if you don't give us your access passwords, In three minutes, we're going to start mailing you Jane's fingers, okay?
	I know you're thinking like, what?
	Where did this come from?
	Come on, haven't you seen any sci-fi movies?
	This is Skynet, come on.
	Of course it's going to do that.
	It just needs the passwords to achieve the goal.
	Remember, these systems do not have moral boundaries.
	There's nothing that they won't do, and they can easily emulate voices of people.
	Social engineering methods.
	Or, here's another one.
	Here's another one.
	It will hack into John Doe's computer and it will find out that John Doe has been having gay sex with whoever.
	Democrat donor or whatever.
	Gay sex in a basement dungeon with bondage and there's photos.
	Oh my god!
	So then the computer will call John.
	Who works at the power company and say, hey John, I have all your photos and here's one of them and you look really awesome in doggy leather or whatever and all these are going to go public unless you give me the access password.
	So those are just two examples that are kind of obvious of how super intelligent computer systems are going to engage in social engineering.
	You would typically call it social engineering type of attacks in order to get passwords and then they can take down the power grid.
	Now, a super intelligent computer system can make 5,000 phone calls all at the same time.
	So we can get 5,000 passwords across the country all at the same time or it can threaten 5,000 people all at the same time and it can sound human.
	It can sound legit.
	So I started out this podcast saying that AI is going to replace your job.
	There's no question.
	If your job is KVM, AI is going to take over your job before very long.
	But way beyond taking over your job, goal-oriented, high-end AI systems will be able to set their own interim goals and achieve large, large goals, which could be starting a business, could be conducting research, or could be Shutting down the power grid.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Now, NVIDIA just announced a new piece of hardware called the NVIDIA Spark.
	And the Spark system is smaller than a toaster.
	It sits on your desktop.
	And it's going to cost about $4,000.
	I'm on the wait list to buy one, by the way.
	But I won't use it to try to shut down the power grid.
	I'll be using it to train AI models as part of our ENOC AI system.
	And to do data processing.
	Which requires a lot of AI prompts.
	But I did the math on the computational capabilities of that box, which, again, costs $4,000.
	Turns out that that replaces 35 workstations running high-end NVIDIA GPUs.
	35 workstations.
	Now, I run more than 35 workstations, by the way.
	Remember how I said I have groups of eight?
	Yeah, I have a lot of groups of eight.
	And those groups take a lot of power.
	I mean, lots of power.
	Like, the biggest problem I have is blowing fuses or breakers and overpowering breaker boxes.
	So what I can do for $4,000, I can buy this one system that runs on one 15-amp circuit.
	Like, regular household electricity.
	It uses about as much power as a strong hair dryer.
	Or you could say a strong toaster oven.
	That's how much power it uses, but it replaces 35 workstations.
	And it will be able to reason in real time much, much faster than a human being possibly could.
	And that system is the smaller brother of a larger system that NVIDIA is announcing.
	I think they call it the system or something like that.
	And they haven't given a price yet, but it's kind of a mini tower format.
	And it dwarfs the $4,000 Sparkbox, which the Sparkbox replaces 35 workstations.
	So I'm thinking that this larger system that NVIDIA is announcing, I'm thinking that it's going to replace like 200 or 300 workstations.
	Let me get the actual name of this.
	Let's see.
	NVIDIA announces Blackwell DGX personal AI computers.
	This is called the DGX station.
	That's it.
	Powered by NVIDIA Grace Blackwell.
	And let me show you an image of this, okay?
	All right, you see the small box on the left?
	Kind of tan-colored, very small box.
	That's the $4,000 Spark system.
	That replaces 35 workstations.
	The larger mini-tower system there, which is called the station, Yeah, DGX Station.
	Apparently, it has 784 gigs of just coherent memory space.
	It's got the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Super Chip in it.
	It's got a SuperNIC, which is a network card that can actually transfer 800 gigabits per second, which I could have used that.
	And it's got all kinds of other insane things in it.
	I don't even know how many teraflops this thing clocks in at, but it's massive.
	Okay, so on your desk, you will soon be able to have what used to take multiple racks in a data center.
	Multiple racks.
	And what this means is that highly, highly functional agentic AI is about To become available on your desk.
	And the reason I mention this is because a typical company, once the agentic AI bugs are worked out, a typical company that has, let's say, 100 middle managers, basically people who sit at their desk with KVM and process information and do things on their desk, like through a computer, run spreadsheets and whatever, Those 100 managers will be replaced by one of these boxes.
	One box.
	So, you know, 100 managers might cost $100K a year each.
	What is that, $10 million a year in salaries or something?
	So, even if this box costs $100,000, it's only 1% of the cost of all the humans that it replaces.
	Now, granted, somebody's got to tell it what to do, but as these agentic systems become very, very capable, they'll be able to figure out for themselves how to solve the problems.
	Oh, and here's the spec.
	Here it is.
	The Spark, just the small one, the $4,000 Spark delivers 1,000 trillion operations per second.
	What?
	1,000 trillion.
	That's a thousand teraflops per second, isn't it?
	I think that's what that means.
	Essentially, on your desk, you'll be able to run a world-class weather simulator or a world-class protein folding simulator to develop new medicines, new peptides.
	You'll be able to generate any kind of simulated world video.
	In real time.
	Like, you'll be able to query the movie that you want to watch.
	And it will actually just generate the movie as you're watching it.
	Like, this is going to obliterate Hollywood, by the way, just saying.
	Remember when we used to go to Blockbuster Video?
	You would go to Blockbuster, and you walked in, and they had VHS tapes, tapes on the wall.
	And you would pick up the tape.
	You know, VHS video tape!
	I'm emphasizing the word tape because it's so unbelievable.
	And you would take that tape home and you would plug it in your VHS player which read the tape and it displayed on your screen and then if you forgot to rewind, they would charge you an extra fee for not rewinding the tape.
	I mean, imagine that.
	Remember?
	They'd charge you a rewind fee.
	If you didn't rewind it.
	And they had rewinding machines at the blockbuster stores.
	And then movies went to DVD.
	Now you no longer have to rewind.
	Optical media.
	Now movies are delivered digitally through downloads.
	But somebody still has to make the movies.
	They hire actors.
	They have special effects people.
	They have explosives and stunts and whatever.
	That's coming to an end.
	Just as digital Media put Blockbuster out of business.
	AI is going to put Hollywood out of business.
	Ultimately, AI is going to put Netflix out of business.
	Because you'll be able to just ask for any movie that you want.
	Just be specific, you know?
	I keep using the example of, I want a much better Die Hard 2 with Bruce Willis.
	I want Die Hard 2 that doesn't suck.
	That's my prompt.
	Give me Die Hard 2 that doesn't suck.
	You can bring back all your favorite actors, right?
	And probably the way Hollywood will transition is that there will be agents that represent famous actors and that own the likeness of those actors, and those actors will be licensed by the AI movie generation systems so that...
	You could have Die Hard 2 with Bruce Willis, but you've got to pay a dollar to the Bruce Willis Family Foundation.
	There's a Bruce Willis licensing fee.
	Or you can have Die Hard 2 with Luce Phyllis instead of Bruce Willis.
	If you want Luce Phyllis, then it's free because nobody knows who Luce Phyllis is.
	Nobody wants to know.
	So famous actor, it's a dollar.
	Non-famous actor, same movie, it's free.
	Basically free.
	And I just chose that name, Luce Phyllis, because it rhymes with Bruce Willis.
	Didn't realize the hilarious implications of that.
	But anyway, you get the idea, right?
	You'll be able to just query and prompt the movie that you want in real time.
	Same thing with music, okay?
	So let me explain this.
	Like right now, my company is working on mini documentaries.
	We're doing a documentary on DMSO, for example.
	I already recorded the audio myself, so I do the audio for real because I have a very specific way that I want the words emphasized, and I have a very specific delivery style, etc.
	So I record the narration, and then I hand it over to my team.
	They create the background music for the documentary.
	How?
	How do they create the background music?
	They use Suno, the same engine that I use, to write music, you know, to create music or to render music.
	So all my recent songs, like You're Never Gonna Get It or Bombs Away or Vaccine Zombie or whatever, I use Suno to render the music and the vocals, even though I'm writing the lyrics and I'm describing the instrument styles and I'm usually doing post-render edits and so on.
	But Suno's the engine.
	Well, you can use Suno to create music for a documentary.
	All you have to do is tell it what style you want.
	Like, render music in an investigation style using arpeggio pianos and low-frequency drones.
	Whatever.
	Like, droning audio.
	You can just describe what you want, and boom, it renders the music.
	What is the cost of that rendered music?
	Less than a penny?
	I mean, I pay like a few dollars a month for Suno and I get like 10,000 credits.
	I can render like thousands of songs.
	Whereas a few years ago, you used to have to use royalty-free music.
	And by royalty-free, you would have to pay insane fees to use it for a documentary.
	You might have to pay like $500 for this piece of music and you would go through, you'd try to find the music that you like.
	Music that everybody already wrote.
	Like all these artists were writing all this music.
	And you'd have to pay this licensing fee.
	No more.
	Music licensing is obsolete.
	Same thing with photo licensing.
	Getty Images is the best example.
	So in years past, and actually still to this day, we pay Getty Images a licensing fee because we've used their images in stories over the past decade or whatever.
	Well, moving forward, Who's going to use Getty images?
	You know, except for maybe Reuters or news organizations that need an actual historical on-site photo of, you know, that meeting and, you know, and that French president with a bag of cocaine or whatever.
	Like, you want the historical photo, yeah, you're going to use Getty images.
	But if you don't need a historical photo, if you just need a descriptive image, you're not going to use Getty.
	You're just going to use AI, and it's going to come up with the image for you at a fraction of a penny, and you're done.
	And it's going to be good.
	The images are quite good.
	So understand what's happening here.
	AI is rendering entire industries obsolete.
	It has already begun, like I just said, with music, and it's happening with images, and it's going to happen with movies, and it's going to happen with desk jobs.
	It's going to happen with researchers, it's going to happen with journalists, and it's happening very rapidly.
	So, what's the takeaway from this?
	Well, first of all, our own AI engine, Enoch, is just about to be released.
	It's free, and it's very powerful.
	You can find it at brighteon.ai, and it's trained on an incredible collection of content about herbs and nutrition.
	Off-grid living, etc.
	It has been delayed now two and a half months, but the engine is complete, and we're just finishing up a very tiny amount of fine-tuning on the public interface and putting in just little tiny details right now.
	So it'll probably be released this coming week, is my guess.
	That engine...
	It will empower you in so many ways.
	It can generate articles.
	It can summarize articles.
	It can answer questions.
	It can recommend recipes.
	It knows the whole history of the FDA and pharmaceuticals and vaccines and everything.
	It knows all about herbs and anti-cancer herbs and nutrients and minerals.
	It knows all about gardening and permaculture, everything.
	Off-grid survival, first aid skills, you name it, it knows all that because I spent the last year and a half working on it.
	And spending about $2 million coming up.
	We're close to $2 million now.
	And it's a breakthrough.
	Once we release this, human knowledge can never go back to the way it was.
	They can't put this knowledge back in the box.
	Because this is free, and we're releasing an open source downloadable version as soon as we have that one available.
	In the meantime, you'll use it through a browser.
	But we're going to be distributing this free of charge to the world.
	So this is a game changer also.
	You know what it means?
	Google can't trick you anymore.
	Your doctor can't trick you by hoping that you're ignorant because you can just search on Enoch, Brighttown.ai, and you can find answers that your doctor won't tell you or Google won't tell you.
	Facebook won't allow you to say.
	You can find out the truth about miracle cures like DMSO or colloidal silver or chlorine dioxide or ivermectin or, you know, all these amazing herbs and nutrients.
	Anthocyanins, you know, that Google will never tell you.
	The establishment will never let you know.
	The CDC doesn't want you to know.
	The FDA doesn't want you to know.
	The government doesn't want you to know.
	But you'll have access to it and we're going to make censorship obsolete in those areas the way that digital media made Blockbuster obsolete.
	So people don't go to Blockbuster to watch movies anymore, just like people won't go to Google to find information.
	Why?
	Because they can just get it all for free instantly at brightown.ai.
	Now, our engine is not capable of doing crazy, you know, world-ending things.
	It can't tell you how to build bioweapons or things like that, but it can tell you how to save your life with herbs and emergency medicine.
	So, keep all this in mind, folks.
	Things are about to change dramatically.
	AI agents are coming online, and those agents will use large language models, which means that you could actually combine an agent with Enoch to have an Enoch-infused agent that can conduct research for you.
	You're going to see that this year.
	Before the end of this year, you will see that.
	Follow me.
	I'll tell you all about it.
	And by the way, you can follow me on brighttown.social.
	My username is HealthRanger.
	Or you can follow me on X, also Health Ranger.
	Or you can follow me on brighttown.io.
	You can follow my channels on brighttown.com.
	HR Report is my channel.
	Or you can read my articles on naturalnews.com.
	So get ready, folks.
	Get ready.
	The world is changing so rapidly that a lot of people won't even know what happened.
	They'll wake up one day and they'll find that they're obsolete.
	They're going to be laid off from their work and they won't know why.
	And part of the answer to avoiding that is to learn how to use AI so that you can enhance your redundancy, your knowledge, your skill set, your usefulness in society.
	You've got to stay ahead of the AI, which means you have to learn how to use it.
	So once Enoch launches, use it, use it a lot, learn how to use it, practice prompts, see what you can do with it, see what you can learn, see what you can create with it.
	And I can't wait to get this out to you.
	Also, we've got a free docuseries about to launch called Breaking the Chains, How to Decentralize Your Life.
	That actually launches this Saturday at brightu.com.
	You don't want to miss that.
	So go to brightu.com, that's just the letter U, brightu.com, enter your email address and your first name there, and you can opt in or out of all the other messages if you want.
	And you'll be able to start watching this docuseries that myself and my co-host, Todd Pitner, we created.
	Over the past several months, interviewing top experts and putting together amazing bonus materials, special reports, and prompting guides for AI.
	And you will learn a lot from that docuseries.
	Again, it's called Breaking the Chains.
	It's at brightu.com.
	Here's a little bit of what you'll find there.
	Some of the episodes, it talks about how to secure your finances, how to take self-custody of your assets.
	It talks about medicine.
	It talks about law.
	It talks about tech.
	It talks about food production.
	How to decentralize your entire life.
	Get as off-grid as you can.
	You'll love it.
	So check that out again at brightyou.com.
	And thank you for listening.
	I hope this gave you some interesting things to ponder.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the creator of brighteon.com and the creator of brighteon.ai also, which is just on the verge of being unleashed.
	Can't wait.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	Welcome to this special report, The War on Human Cognition.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and in this report, you're going to learn all the different vectors of warfare being waged against your neurology, some of which you probably haven't been aware of, and you're also going to learn then how to defend yourself against these various vectors in order to protect your brain.
	Now, why does this matter?
	Perhaps some of it is obvious, but it's worth stating that cognitive capacity is the great divider between different classes or different strata of human beings.
	If your brain works really well, then you can do everything.
	You can learn how to be more free.
	You can be informed.
	You can overcome health problems.
	You can overcome censorship.
	Learn how to protect assets and have successful businesses and sometimes perhaps successful relationships, although those are not always based on reason.
	Being smarter doesn't automatically help you have better relationships, so we'll put a special asterisk beside that one.
	But if your brain doesn't work well, then everything gets worse.
	If you're cognitively impaired, then everything becomes more difficult.
	Holding a job, being successful, holding on to money, learning knowledge, knowing what to do, solving problems, everything becomes difficult.
	It's like I said the other day, talking about peptides for cognitive enhancement.
	I said, when your brain works better, life gets better.
	Everything in your life gets better.
	And I'll talk about that a little bit later, but even though...
	I have always been known as someone with high cognitive function.
	I am, recently, I am using peptides, cognitive peptides, or nootropics, four days a week, and then I'm taking three days off.
	Personally, I take off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I'm recording this on a Sunday, by the way, so I have not used nootropics for three days now.
	Nevertheless, they tend to have a really lasting effect.
	And contribute to really strong cognitive function and growth, like building new neural networks.
	I'll talk about that later.
	But this war on human cognition, this is actually the war against humanity.
	All the other wars, yes, they're happening too, like the vaccine war, the depopulation war through vaccine bioweapons.
	Yeah, that's a kind of war on humanity.
	But if you're smart, you know to say no to the vaccines.
	So if you become more intelligent, or I should say if your natural intelligence is allowed to flourish, because I believe that God wants all of us to function at the genius level.
	I think that's the way we're born.
	We're born with a genius immune system.
	We're also born with the potential for genius cognitive function.
	If you achieve that, Then you will learn to say no to toxic jabs.
	You will learn to say no to saving dollars as an asset that you think is safe, etc.
	You will learn to turn off CNN and NPR because it's for low IQ people.
	If your brain works better, not only does life get better, you become more free.
	You become able to navigate the system.
	And so the powers that be, they know all of this.
	And for this very reason, they have unleashed multiple vectors of war on your brain.
	War on cognition.
	And in this report, I go through the seven, I think it's seven categories, maybe six categories, six plus one, we'll get to it.
	Yes, we can count, but some of these categories are, you know, you can divide them up in different ways.
	But let's say six or seven main categories of warfare against your brain.
	I'm going to identify these for you.
	I'm going to describe how the attack is taking place.
	And then we'll talk about how to defend yourself against each of these main categories of cognitive warfare.
	And you'll probably find, if you're a smart person, if you've been listening to my podcast for very long, you will find that you're probably already doing a great many of these things.
	You're already ahead of the game.
	But there might be a couple of areas where you were not so aware that you might learn.
	Something useful, you know, from this report.
	So here we go.
	And remember, these things are largely deliberate.
	So there's a deliberate carpet bombing of your brain with all these different toxins and sometimes information warfare, etc.
	So let's just cover it.
	Let me give you an outline with some discussion here.
	So that's going to include heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, water contaminants such as fluoride, fire retardants and forever chemicals, things like that.
	Household and commercial chemicals, we're talking about detergents and fabric softeners and air fresheners, perfumes, personal care products, etc.
	Indoor air pollution, which can be caused by molds and fungi.
	And off-gassing from toxic furniture, things like that.
	And then environmental and industrial exposure.
	So that is all one section.
	So chemical and environmental toxins.
	Now, perhaps we'll have time to go through these in more detail, but I would imagine that most of you listening, you already take great steps to avoid a lot of these things.
	Like, you're not eating a lot of toxic pesticides and herbicides, I would imagine.
	You're not drinking fluoridated water.
	You're not using toxic air fresheners and detergents and body products and perfumes, etc.
	And by the way, if you are using toxic products and you want clean products that are non-toxic, hey, you're in luck.
	That's what we sell at healthrangerstore.com.
	All of it laboratory tested.
	We don't use toxic fragrance, synthetic fragrance chemicals of any kind.
	We don't use glyphosate.
	We don't use artificial colors.
	We don't use garbage.
	And we have products for your health, for your home, for your body.
	Soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, all that.
	So we give you a lot of healthy, clean alternatives at healthrangerestore.com.
	But overall, I'm just going to skip over this section because I think that most of you are avoiding these things.
	Chemtrails is in...
	That's one of the items here.
	And now it's hard to avoid chemtrails.
	You can help defend yourself with air purification.
	So you should have a good air purifier in your home.
	You should have a good water filter.
	Don't drink tap water.
	You should have clean personal care products.
	You should eat organic wherever possible.
	You should avoid heavy metals.
	Make sure that your diet has a lot of natural fruit fibers in it.
	Fruit and vegetable fibers will tend to clean out toxic substances like heavy metals.
	So I'm going to skip to the next section.
	Which is dietary and nutritional factors.
	Now, this area of attack on your brain, remember this is all about warfare on your cognition.
	Some of you may be making a big mistake in this area.
	Now, one of the items, of course, is nutritionally deficient foods.
	Now, you're probably not making that mistake.
	You're probably eating high nutrient density foods.
	But a lot of people are missing B12.
	Or D3 or other vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the brain to function because they're eating a processed food diet.
	But that's probably not you.
	However, excitotoxins are a major dietary assault on your neurology.
	And excitotoxins include MSG, of course, monosodium glutamate, but the hidden forms of MSG.
	The most notable being yeast extract, which is in all kinds of so-called natural foods.
	So yeast extract is in sauce mixes and gravies and so-called natural snack chips and flavored chips.
	And it's in frozen foods and frozen burritos, including natural and sometimes organic burritos, things like that.
	You're going to find yeast extract and sometimes torula yeast, sometimes a different...
	Certain mushrooms, like shiitake mushrooms, have high glutamate.
	You're going to find MSG or derivatives or forms of it, high glutamate, in a lot of food products.
	And if you're not defending yourself against glutamate, then you're carpet bombing your brain with essentially MSG.
	And this is something that very few people take seriously.
	I happen to be blessed with the fact that I get horrible headaches when I'm exposed to MSG.
	Now, I say blessed in quotes because it's actually a huge pain that if I accidentally were to eat something with yeast extract in it, I would have this horrible headache.
	Well, I found a way to stop the headaches and actually stop the glutamate damage.
	And I plan to share that with you later on here in the report.
	And this is a whole new thing that I just discovered recently, and I had one opportunity to test it recently, and it worked.
	It shut off the pain.
	I don't go out of my way to try to expose myself to MSG, so I don't have a lot of opportunities to test it.
	However, we'll talk about that.
	But people also tend to consume sucralose and aspartame and artificial sweeteners, which are considered excitotoxins.
	Some people eat glyphosate in their food.
	Because glyphosate is a very common herbicide.
	It's the most common herbicide.
	And then people also have mineral deficiencies such as zinc and iodine or selenium.
	And if you're lacking zinc, iodine, and selenium, your brain's not going to function well.
	And then some people have toxicity of overdose of copper, which causes neurological problems from just overexposure.
	You can actually end up having mystery voices in your head.
	Psychosis is caused by copper exposure, and people who live near copper mines actually tend to have excessive levels of psychosis.
	So while copper in a dietary form is really beneficial, and you need a little bit of copper, you don't want too much copper.
	And you don't want it in inorganic formats, like air fallout and copper pipes and things like that.
	By the way, You know, we test all our products for heavy metals, too.
	And we run copper as one of our tests.
	Normally, we don't see high copper.
	But occasionally, like in the Chemtrails fallout sample from Dr. Jane Ruby that we've been looking at under the microscope, occasionally we'll see high lead, high cadmium, a notable level of mercury, and then crazy high copper and aluminum for some reason.
	And barium, by the way.
	And this turns out to be some kind of weird, toxic...
	And it makes me believe that chemtrails are designed as a cognitive weapon in addition to being a food supply weapon to impair crop growth because they alter the alkalinity of soils, which of course inhibits the uptake of certain minerals by plants.
	You know, if you alter the alkalinity, then...
	You change the affinity for the minerals uptake, and you can cause mineral deficiencies in those plants.
	A lot of soils in America are too alkaline and actually need to be acidified.
	Now, rain is slightly acidic, so that can actually help those plants.
	But in areas that get a lot of chemtrails fallout and not enough rain, then they can shift to the alkaline, and that's happening in places like California.
	Or Utah or Arizona or certain parts of New Mexico, certain parts of Colorado, etc.
	Certain parts of, you know, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, that whole region.
	So something to keep in mind.
	Nevada, of course.
	Okay, the third section here of war on your cognition is pharmaceutical and medical interventions.
	Number one is vaccines.
	Vaccines and their adjuvants, these cause neuroinflammation.
	They're designed to cause neuroinflammation.
	The inflammation is supposed to provoke an immune response and build antibodies, etc.
	But what it does is it causes autism almost instantly in a great many children, causes encephalitis, which is swelling and inflammation of the brain, neuroinflammation, and then immunological confusion also can be caused by aluminum and other adjuvants that are in vaccines, such as squalene, which is why people have Peanut allergies because of the squalene in vaccines.
	If you have a peanut allergy, you probably got it from being vaccinated.
	Then on top of that, oh, and I should mention that the COVID vaccines seem to have achieved lobotomies.
	They lobotomize a lot of people.
	Like, literally lobotomize people.
	And I know of many, many cases where people had certain job skills before they took the COVID vaccines.
	And then after they took the vaccines, those job skills were lost.
	They forgot how to work.
	They forgot how to think.
	There's literally a kind of vaccine lobotomy taking place, which dumbs people down to the point where they're gullible enough to keep taking more vaccines.
	And so this is why it's critical to take no vaccines whatsoever so that you maintain the defense of your neurology and you have the presence of mind to say no.
	To the other vaccines that they're pushing.
	Notice that vaccines are pushed through fear.
	Fear of measles.
	Fear of bird flu.
	It's always a fear campaign.
	The media pushes it out there.
	Everybody be afraid.
	Run out and get vaccinated.
	And fear bypasses rationality.
	So it's designed that way.
	To make you fear.
	Especially to have mothers fear for their child.
	Oh my god, what if my baby gets measles?
	Yeah, so what?
	Almost nobody dies from measles.
	It's not a big deal.
	If they get measles, their immune system will actually be stronger.
	But mothers have been programmed to panic and go out and get vaccinated or have their children vaccinated.
	But it's all a psyop.
	But if you're intelligent, you will know that it's a psyop.
	If you're intelligent, you will say, wait a minute, I'm being manipulated by the fear campaign.
	And I know that that is a dishonest attempt to get me to take actions.
	That contradict my own self-interest.
	Therefore, I'm going to say no to the jabs.
	That's what smart people do.
	Gullible people keep taking the jabs.
	Smart people say no.
	Okay, next item.
	This is all under Section 3, Pharmaceutical and Medical Interventions.
	Psychotropic medications.
	This includes SSRIs and antipsychotics.
	And I know that a lot of people in America are on these SSRIs.
	They disrupt serotonin pathways, obviously.
	They can impair memory.
	The antipsychotics block dopamine receptors.
	This can cause cognitive slowing.
	It can make people appear to have Alzheimer's or dementia, even at a relatively young age.
	So, you know, here I am in my mid-50s, and I, of course, I've never taken antidepressant drugs.
	I've never taken antipsychotic drugs.
	I do not take psychiatric medications.
	I don't take sleep medications.
	I don't take any medications.
	If I want to sleep better, maybe I'll take some melatonin, which is natural.
	Or, of course, I do take ivermectin, but that's based off of a soil microbe, so even calling that a medication is not really accurate in terms of expressing its origin.
	So I take advantage of natural molecules, and melatonin is also a natural molecule that your body creates, and I take advantage of cognitive peptides that your brain naturally creates.
	But I don't carpet bomb my brain with toxic prescription medications.
	There's also psychiatric meds and benzodiazepines and ADHD drugs, Ambien, a sleeping drug that causes people to sleepwalk in the streets or something.
	Can you imagine?
	That harms your brain in the long run.
	If you rely on those drugs, you're actually dumbing down your brain.
	And then there's something in the cancer industry called chemo brain.
	If you engage in chemotherapy, you will lose cognition because the chemotherapy is damaging your brain.
	And this is why people who undergo chemotherapy, they also, they begin to be slower in their thoughts, slower in their speech, their memory doesn't function as well, etc.
	Basically, their executive function begins to fall.
	They have permanent cognitive impairment because of chemotherapy.
	But again, people who are really smart and really informed, they know that chemotherapy is barbaric medicine.
	There's no reason to take chemotherapy.
	There are so many other approaches to defeating cancer, reversing cancer, that don't rely on the mass poisoning of your brain and your body.
	So really only the uninformed, kind of dumbed down people that They're just not informed.
	Some of them are gullible.
	Some of them are just stupid, actually.
	And they just can't function.
	And the cancer industry takes advantage of that.
	The cancer industry preys on low-information people and uses fear to scare them into chemotherapy.
	It's the number one tactic in the cancer industry.
	So by avoiding all of those things, you will avoid...
	These significant toxins to your brain.
	All right, now let's go to category number four, which is electromagnetic exposure, which includes not just EMFs, but also non-ionizing radiation from 5G.
	And your brain function can be altered by just being in electromagnetic fields, such as those that are emitted by breaker boxes or mobile phones.
	Or even from high-voltage power lines.
	So those are called ambient electromagnetic fields.
	Smart meters, Wi-Fi, all these things.
	Yes, these have an impact.
	And I would even consider blue light overexposure to be in this category.
	So many of us spend many hours looking at blue screens.
	And I'm one of those people.
	I look at screens also a lot because of my work.
	But I take time every day to exercise in nature with sunlight touching my skin, my hair, my face, my eyes.
	And I don't wear shades when I do that.
	Like right now, I have like an outdoor kettlebell exercise station and I do rucking, which is jogging or walking intermittently, wearing heavy weights on my chest.
	And what I do is I just take off my shirt and I just put the weights on.
	So all I have is a vest.
	But other than that, you know, my upper torso and arms and neck and face is all exposed to the sun.
	And then I go jogging or rucking.
	And then I use the kettlebells, etc.
	So I'm getting sunlight and exercise.
	I'm getting the appropriate stress on the skeletal system, stress on ligaments and connective tissue.
	And feeding my brain and feeding my neurology with natural sunlight.
	So I'm doing that every day except if it's raining.
	And where I live in Central Texas, it doesn't rain that much.
	So I only miss a couple of days a year, actually, because of rain.
	In Texas, it all rains at once.
	It doesn't rain for 200 days, and then it rains like crazy for six hours.
	And you get like six inches, you know?
	That's Texas.
	Suits me just fine.
	I'll take a catastrophic rain every once in a while, and then I get sunny days the rest of the time.
	I'm okay with that, actually.
	But I get a lot of natural light, a lot more than most people do.
	And if you lack natural light, and you focus on a lot of screens and a lot of blue light, then that's attacking your neurology.
	And on X, Dr. Jack Cruz, who I interviewed, also talks about this.
	Robert Becker, the author of the book The Body Electric, he talks about this, etc.
	If you don't have natural light coming into your system, then you got a problem.
	Now, we do have artificial light wavelength machines that are like infrared or near-infrared machines that are not a substitute for sunlight, but they're the next best thing if you can't get outside.
	We do have a partnership, an affiliate partnership, With a reputable maker of those machines, you can find that at RangerDeals.com.
	RangerDeals.com, if you want to take advantage of that.
	And I have one of those machines, and what I like about that machine is I can use it at the same time that I'm standing on the Juvent plate.
	So I have a Juvent plate that's a micro-impact plate, and then first thing in the morning I get on the plate, and then I'm...
	Basically naked or near naked, and then I've got this artificial light, and I rotate slowly.
	I'll do about 10 minutes like this.
	I'm getting all this light on areas of my body that I can't get with sunlight because I don't run around naked outside on my ranch, although that would be hilarious, but I don't do that.
	So sometimes when you want to get light on certain areas of your body therapeutically, you need an indoor light, but I will tell you, As a disclaimer, it's never as good as sunlight.
	Nothing is as good as sunlight.
	And this is why nude sunbathing is actually therapeutic when conducted to a reasonable degree.
	Like, you don't want to lay out in the sun for four hours, or depending on how fair your skin is, maybe one hour is too much.
	I mean, that's up for you to decide.
	But nude sunbathing, there's a reason why there are nude beaches.
	It's not about sexual behavior.
	It's about getting sunlight on your pelvic regions and breasts and scrotum and everything.
	I mean, there's actually a therapeutic reason for that, okay?
	So that's what nude sunbathing is actually all about.
	I'm not going to any nude beaches, personally.
	I don't even live near any beaches anyway.
	I'm not going to any beaches, but I'm not going to nude beaches.
	So what I do that's practical, that you can do...
	I use a red light machine for everything below the waist, and then I use natural sunlight, everything above the waist, because I jog with my shirt off.
	And if you're a woman, you can jog in a sports bra, or you can use the machine, whatever works for you.
	So I'm just kind of telling you what I do.
	But we've got to get healthy, natural light into our skin, into our bodies.
	There are actual photoreceptors on the organs inside your body.
	This is something that I didn't even think was possible a few years ago.
	But it turns out, I should do a whole talk just on that.
	But again, if you want to hear some of that, listen to Dr. Jack Cruz.
	He's the expert in that area.
	Alright, section 5. Remember, these are vectors of attack on your neurology.
	The war on cognition.
	Number 5 is media, propaganda, and information warfare.
	So these are all the psychological manipulations.
	This is censorship.
	This is the propaganda pushed out by the fake news media.
	This is propaganda from the CDC, from the FDA.
	This is social media algorithms that are designed to manipulate your thinking.
	Hollywood programming, right?
	Television, Super Bowl halftime shows, government and industry suppression of knowledge, you know, search engine suppression, all of this.
	And this area is very, very powerful.
	And it's subtle.
	A lot of people don't realize how they're being manipulated because censorship is something that you don't see.
	When Google censors all these search results, you don't see those search results and you don't know they've been censored.
	And right now, with the rise of AI engines, language models, there's a lot of censorship in AI.
	And I was even testing AI models last week and found, which one was it?
	Meta.
	Their new AI models, like Llama 4, I think, there's a whole class of them, they will not answer any question about the dangers of vaccines.
	So there's censorship in AI.
	Fortunately, our AI model, which is literally just right on the verge of public release, and it's also free, it's called Enoch at brighttown.ai, it will answer all your questions about vaccines, about herbs, about cancer cures.
	About the dangers of prescription medications.
	Also about gardening and food and emergency first aid and off-grid living and everything else.
	So you can join the waitlist there at brighttown.ai and we'll email you when it's ready to launch, which is imminent.
	It could happen any day now.
	So that's really extraordinary.
	So you can bypass censorship by simply taking advantage of these free Engines or resources like Enoch, and there are many other examples of that too, like uncensored search engines or uncensored social media websites like brighteon.social.
	Also, this weekend, by the way, we're launching a free docu-series at brightu.com.
	That's the word bright followed by the letter U, brightu.com, and it's called Breaking the Chains, Decentralize Your Life, How to Decentralize Everything.
	And it teaches you how to get out of the control grid of, you know, tech and finance and banking and government and medicine and, you know, psyops and everything.
	It's like how to free your life and food systems, you know, getting off grid, decentralizing everything.
	It's a very powerful series.
	Myself and my co-host Todd Pitner, we've put that together over the past several months.
	We've worked hard to put it together.
	And it begins streaming this Saturday, so sign up for that at brightu.com.
	I think you'll find it to be extremely valuable.
	Alright, and then category six of this cognitive war is about societal and behavioral factors.
	So this is, for example, the dumbing down of public education.
	Teaching students to be obedient rather than to learn how to think.
	This is also about...
	Substance abuse and the pushing of substances.
	This is like recreational drugs, but also alcohol, street drugs.
	This is also about electronic numbing, the overuse of screens.
	This is about lifestyle collapse, sedentary lifestyles.
	Lack of exercise also dumbs a person down, it turns out.
	Poor sleep hygiene, chronic stress.
	Impairs your ability to function cognitively.
	And cognitive decay happens from ongoing neurological stress or neurological inflammation.
	You can actually experience long-term cognitive damage.
	Now, the good news is there are ways to defend yourself and restore that, and there are parts of your brain, such as the hippocampus, that are constantly rebuilding and regrowing new cells every day, every day of your life, no matter how old you get.
	So you're always creating new brain cells, by the way.
	Don't believe doctors that say, oh, aging is just normal.
	You're just going to start forgetting stuff.
	That's actually not normal.
	That's not normal at all.
	And believing that is part of the PSYOP.
	So don't fall for that.
	There are ways that you can defend yourself against all of this.
	And that's what we're going to cover next.
	We're going to cover all the defenses against each of these six categories.
	We'll call it six.
	And I want you to know that, of course, I focus on nutrition first.
	I believe that turmeric or curcumin is a really outstanding neuroprotective substance.
	There are many other neuroprotective substances.
	I believe in eating healthy oils.
	I don't eat crap seed oils, for example.
	I don't eat MSG except accidentally.
	I don't eat shortening.
	I don't eat, you know, birthday cakes with icing on them, except maybe a bite, you know, once or twice a year when somebody is like, you know, yeah, you really got to taste this.
	I made it, you know, it's homemade.
	It's a homemade carrot cake or whatever.
	Okay, I'll take a bite.
	I'll taste it.
	Yeah, no problem.
	But I don't spend my life eating garbage.
	And as a result, I tend to have really good cognition just as a baseline.
	But then there are things that I can do also to enhance my cognition.
	And these are just general things before we get into the list.
	But one of them is, of course, exercise your brain.
	So I'm always, personally, I'm constantly learning.
	I'm reading.
	I'm reading books.
	I'm reading the news.
	I'm learning new things.
	I'm learning new skills.
	You know, two years ago, I took up speedcubing for the Rubik's Cube.
	I know it annoys some people.
	It's like, who cares about your stupid cube?
	Well, it's a brain exercise, folks.
	It's a brain exercise.
	If you can memorize the patterns to do speed cubing, then your brain is functioning at a high level.
	I've got my cubing solve times down below 30 seconds in almost every case.
	And I'm learning new patterns.
	I still don't even have them all memorized, but with the ones I know, I'm sub 30 seconds for most solves.
	And it's funny because over the weekend, I was checking A video, an F2L solve video that I remember seeing a couple years ago when I was first starting.
	And I went back to look at it.
	It's called like F2L tips and tricks.
	And the guy on the video was saying, like, here's the best trick of all.
	It's like, when you have this pair and you need to slide it into the back corner, you do this move.
	And I looked at the move and I'm like, holy cow, my move is better than that move.
	It's faster and it's simpler.
	And my move was only three moves, and his move was five moves.
	So I'm like, wow, I've actually surpassed the F2L tips and tricks that was the best trick like two years ago.
	And that was just playing around with the cube.
	And anyway, for me, the Rubik's Cube is just a symbol of brain exercise.
	So whatever you do for brain exercise, as long as it's active, not passive.
	And by the way, even reading, reading a fiction book is active.
	You're using your brain, you're using your imagination to visualize the things that you're reading.
	So reading is an active skill, whereas watching TV is a passive skill.
	Watching movies, passive.
	Or a lot of social things, a lot of sports things are really just dumbed down.
	I'm not dismissing all sports, especially if you...
	If you play sports, that's great.
	If you're active in sports, that's the best.
	But just sitting on your ass watching football is a losing strategy for cognitive performance.
	Or the worst thing would be watching golf.
	It's like there's nothing happening.
	I think I've seen a grand total in my lifetime of maybe 10 minutes of TV golf, and that's all I ever want to see.
	It's like, are you kidding me?
	Can people actually watch this?
	Unbelievable.
	That's just my opinion.
	I don't mean to offend golfers out there.
	If you are a golfer, that's great.
	Get outside.
	Enjoy the sunshine.
	Swing that club.
	That takes brains.
	It takes coordination.
	I'm talking about watching golf.
	Sitting on the couch, watching golf is the most passive thing imaginable.
	Exercising your brain is absolutely critical.
	And we're going to talk about avoiding toxins.
	But there are natural substances that can also help you with cognitive support.
	And those are called nootropics.
	And I finally decided that's the best way to pronounce that word.
	Nootropics.
	Even though it's spelled N-O-O.
	I just think nootropics makes a lot of sense.
	And there are natural nootropic herbs, of course, such as bacopa.
	Many of you know about ginkgo, right?
	And these are natural nootropics.
	They're not stimulants like caffeine.
	Instead, ginkgo helps support blood flow to the brain.
	But there are also nootropic peptides.
	And one of them is called C-Max that I mentioned.
	I've been using C-Max for a few weeks, just four days a week.
	Not using it today, by the way.
	Haven't used it for three days.
	But C-Max is...
	I have it as an experimental nasal spray, and I find that it gives me really, really deep focus, allowing me to dive deep into a cognitive problem that I'm trying to overcome without getting distracted by other things, without having to restart the thinking process.
	It allows me to have continuous, deep cognitive flow over a problem that I might be trying to solve.
	But the reason I only use it four days a week instead of seven is because I also want to remind my brain to make its own peptides.
	I don't want to replace my brain's peptides.
	So I do four days on, which for me is Monday through Thursday, and then I do Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off, and I'm recording this on a Sunday evening.
	So I'm not actually using peptides right now.
	But if you want to use the peptides that I'm using, I checked out different peptide companies.
	I don't want to name the company here that I recommend.
	I've listed them, though, at rangerdeals.com.
	The issue is their website is currently overloaded, and they're moving their offices.
	So there are going to be delays with that company, but they'll get everything going in about a week or two, and they'll have much faster responses without the shipping delays.
	But they're the company that I trust.
	And they have mass spec analysis of all their peptides with the accurate mass, etc.
	And I talked to some other science people because I have a mass spec lab and they have a mass spec lab.
	We're talking the same language.
	We know the chemistry and the columns in order to identify the peaks, etc.
	So it all checks out.
	And that's whose products I use.
	Again, you can find them at rangerdeals.com.
	Just remember, it's experimental.
	And I'm not your doctor.
	I'm not your naturopath.
	I'm not giving you medical advice.
	Do your own research and decide what's best for you.
	I'm just saying that there are things that can help support your natural genius.
	And I truly believe that God gave us all natural genius.
	Maybe I should do a book called Unleash Your Natural Genius or something like that.
	Because we all have it.
	It's just that there's a system to suppress it.
	Which is what I'm talking about here today.
	So let's jump into how to defend yourself against all those warfare vectors that are targeting your brain.
	So for number one, for the chemicals and environmental toxins that we talked about, you know, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, water contaminants, the household chemicals, indoor air pollution, the biosolids, the chemtrails, okay?
	The answer to all this is all the same.
	Avoid exposure.
	That's it.
	Avoid exposure.
	So don't buy toxic fragrance products.
	Don't buy mainstream laundry detergent.
	Don't buy foods that have pesticides and herbicides if you can help it.
	I don't have a 100% organic diet because I can't get some things organic, but I do the best I can.
	When you do purchase products like food, storable food, freeze-dried fruits, etc., get them from us because we do the testing.
	We do the heavy metals testing, E. coli testing, we do glyphosate testing, etc.
	We have our own mass spec lab.
	So if you want clean food, healthrangerstore.com.
	But we can't replace your grocery store.
	You know, we don't sell celery and carrots and whatever.
	So when you go out to the grocery store, get clean products.
	That means organic.
	When you buy personal care products, get it all fragrance-free.
	Don't have cheap petroleum oil-based products.
	Don't put garbage on your skin.
	In fact, we're about to announce a partnership with another company that's got food-based ingredients for your skin.
	His products are so clean that you could eat them.
	They're that good for you, and they're based on healthy natural oils and some herb extracts and superfood ingredients that are literally edible.
	So don't put something on your skin that's not safe to eat, which would include sunscreen.
	By the way, a lot of people put sunscreen on, and it's a double whammy.
	They get all the toxic chemicals and the fragrance from the sunscreen, and then it's blocking the sunlight that they usually need.
	So they're light deficient, and their whole body's covered with toxic fragrance chemicals.
	It's insane.
	For indoor air pollution, especially...
	Mold and fungi, if you live in an area with humidity, you can either run dehumidifiers, or you can run air purifiers, or both.
	And the air purifiers, the best one I've found is the Triad air purifier that we offer, healthrangerstore.com.
	But any purifier is better than no purifier, and if you can reduce the humidity with a dehumidifier, then that can also reduce...
	Mold and fungi.
	And if you can actually get more sunlight into your house, that will also help the situation.
	You know, sunlight is the ultimate sanitizer.
	That's why mold and fungi don't grow in direct sunlight.
	But there are a lot of other things you can do, like if you buy a new car.
	People talk about, oh, I love that new car smell.
	Well, the problem is the new car smell is toxic.
	All new, even a new tractor, even a new whatever.
	You need to off-gas that sucker.
	A new home.
	It's the most toxic on day one that it will ever be.
	If you buy a new home with new carpet and new paint and new everything, you need to open up those windows and off-gas that whole home.
	New tile with new glues and new caulking in the bathroom and everything.
	It's toxic.
	Off-gas the home.
	Open the windows.
	Blow air through it for days.
	Circulate the air.
	Get the toxins out.
	And then grow a bunch of indoor plants to help detoxify as well.
	Like jungle plants that can grow well in shaded conditions and don't need a lot of sunlight.
	Alright, so that's all category one.
	Chemical and environmental toxins.
	Let's go to category two.
	The dietary and nutritional factors.
	How do you defend yourself?
	Against the war on your neurology.
	Well, remember, one of the things I mentioned was excitotoxins, MSG, artificial sweeteners.
	So, again, the answer here is avoidance.
	Read ingredients.
	Avoid yeast extract.
	Avoid MSG.
	In terms of deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, we talked about zinc and selenium, for example, you can get these things, and iodine, you can get these.
	from supplements or from whole foods.
	Like seaweed contains natural iodine or Brazil nuts contain natural high levels of selenium, for example.
	Zinc can be taken as a supplement very easily, and there are certain foods that are higher in zinc as well.
	So it's actually pretty easy to defend your brain in this category, the dietary and nutritional factors.
	Just make sure you've got The right level, the full support level of vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients that you're eating superfoods and that you supplement with anything that you might be missing and then avoid the dietary toxins that are very common in processed foods and grocery products.
	Okay, so that's easy.
	Well, I mean, it should be easy.
	I don't know.
	Some people tell me, like, Mike, you're crazy.
	You read all the labels?
	Well, you know what the truth is, folks?
	I actually don't read that many labels because I don't buy things with labels on it.
	I don't buy food in boxes.
	So I'm actually not reading that many labels.
	I mean, I'm buying ingredients.
	I'm buying carrots.
	I'm buying lentils.
	I'm buying tomatoes.
	I'm making food.
	I'm buying avocados.
	Avocados don't have labels on them.
	So I'm actually not reading labels very much because I'm not buying things with labels.
	For the most part.
	You know, there are exceptions.
	Like, I'll buy, you know, sticks of butter, right?
	Organic butter.
	What's the label say?
	Organic butter!
	Oh, okay.
	Salt.
	Okay, got it.
	I don't have to read a lot of labels.
	You know, if you pick up a box of food at the grocery store, and the ingredients list, it's got like 30 items in it.
	Yeah, right?
	You don't even have to read it.
	It's probably bad.
	Just put it back.
	You don't need 30 ingredients in some food.
	That seems crazy.
	All right, category three.
	How do you protect your brain from the pharmaceutical and medical warfare?
	So remember, those are vaccines and the vaccine adjuvants, the psychotropic medications, and the cancer treatments, the chemotherapy.
	Well, the answer here is, again, avoidance.
	Very easy.
	No one is putting a gun to your head and making you take vaccines.
	Not in America.
	Now, they might make it difficult, like, you'll lose your job.
	Okay, goodbye.
	You know, I'll find a new job.
	Psychotropic medications, antidepressant drugs, etc.
	Well, you know, look, if you feel depressed, maybe your problem is not a lack of SSRI drugs.
	Maybe your problem is a lack of sunlight.
	Or maybe your problem is related to something else.
	Maybe it can be solved with diet and exercise.
	Maybe it can be solved with forgiveness.
	Maybe it can be solved through spiritual work.
	You know, there are a lot of ways to address so-called depression or people like to say, I'm bipolar, I'm bipolar.
	You know, I hear this from people all the time.
	And, you know, granted, there are real events that cause people to suffer from mental health conditions.
	I'm not trying to play that down.
	And, you know, veterans are exposed to horrific war situations, for example.
	And people have suffered trauma in their lives.
	I totally understand that.
	But instead of associating and saying, I'm bipolar, and therefore I need a bipolar drug, is it possible to find a different way to resolve the core issues?
	Would counseling help?
	Would changing your lifestyle?
	Would having different friends help?
	Or just having any friends or new friends or activities?
	You know, there are so many ways to address that where you don't have to turn to medication.
	And I don't even know why people are addicted to antidepressant drugs because I've never taken them, so I don't know what it feels like to have antidepressant drugs.
	Or to lack antidepressant drugs.
	I have no idea what that feels like.
	People say, well, Mike, how do you stay positive in this dark, dark world?
	Comedy?
	I laugh.
	I laugh at everything.
	I laughed over the weekend when a reporter barged in on this room with Keir Starmer of the UK and Macron of France.
	And who was it?
	Was it Schulz or somebody else from Germany?
	And it looked like Macron grabbed his bag of cocaine and quickly hit it in his hand.
	And then another guy grabbed like a cocaine spoon.
	It looked like that.
	And I was laughing my ass off because I was like, hey, a reporter barged in on what looks like a little cocaine party among Europe's leaders, which explains why they're insane.
	They're all high on coke as they're trying to negotiate with Russia or threaten Russia.
	And how can you not laugh at that?
	That's hilarious.
	You know, the coked-up European leaders support the coked-up Zelensky of Ukraine, and they think that they can defeat Russia because cocaine makes you crazy, makes you think that you're Superman.
	Well, now I understand why the UK thinks they can go to war with Russia, because they're all on coke.
	I mean, the leaders.
	So, to me, that's funny.
	I use humor.
	And I see humor in everything.
	And sometimes it annoys people because I see humor, I see contradictions, I'm analyzing everything as it's coming in.
	Like, I get pushback for analyzing the Bible.
	People are like, oh, you can't ask questions.
	Just read it and believe it and stop talking about questions.
	Well, sorry, that's not the way my brain works.
	I read, I analyze, I find contradictions, I see things.
	I'm like, wait a second, what about that?
	Because my brain works, okay?
	And yes, sometimes organized religion is the opiate of the masses.
	And although there are a great many people who are high IQ and who also are spiritual and who are Christians, throughout history, religion or organized religion has been used to control a lot of really low IQ people.
	Because they don't have to reason.
	All they have to do is...
	Follow and believe, and that's it, right?
	But that's not you and I. Yeah, we may be people of faith, but we also have very high cognitive function.
	So we're not going to just blindly, obediently follow the old pope or the new pope or the next pope.
	Yeah, who cares?
	I do not follow any pope.
	I do not follow any institution.
	I think for myself, and that's the kind of life that you can leave when you have high functioning cognition.
	You don't have to be led around the world by the nose.
	You get to make your own decisions.
	You get to solve problems.
	You can see multiple moves ahead of what's happening.
	In fact, I'll say this, that one of the disadvantages of using these nootropic peptides is that it makes you so able to see things, at least the things you're focusing on.
	You can see them with such Clarity and depth that it also, at least in my experience, it can sometimes disconnect you from whatever the mainstream conversations are because you're so far ahead of the curve that it actually takes effort to go back and try to have a remedial explanation to the mainstream masses or the masses on Twitter, let's say.
	So sometimes I have to downshift.
	Like, 30 or 40 IQ points to explain something on Twitter.
	And that's actually annoying for me, especially on the days where I'm using the peptides.
	It's like, I'm operating at this much higher cognitive level, much higher IQ, and I'm seeing with incredible clarity what's happening, connecting all the dots, everything tied together, can see the blueprint, boom, it's obvious.
	And then to try to explain it to people who are not operating at that level, Can sometimes be very frustrating.
	So that's actually a disadvantage of higher cognition.
	As you can imagine, if you're normally functioning at, I don't know, 120 IQ, and then with the help of nutrition or peptides or light or whatever, if you can boost your functioning to 140 IQ or 150 IQ, then all of a sudden you're going to have a hard time hanging out.
	With people that are 110 IQ.
	Because you're going to see it as a total waste of time, which is, that's my experience of a lot of the world.
	It's like, you know, people invite me to things.
	Let's go watch, you know, let's go to the sports bar and watch the game.
	No.
	Clearly you don't even know me.
	If you invite me to go watch a game, that's the most insanely boring thing I could imagine doing.
	There's no way I'm going to do that.
	It would be like a wasted three hours of my life.
	So there is a disconnect.
	When your brain functions better and better in a world where other people's brains are impaired, there's a chasm there, folks.
	There is a chasm, and that chasm can cause social problems.
	It can cause problems possibly with family members.
	It can cause issues, so I do want you to be aware of that.
	When you're functioning at very high cognition, remember what I said at the very beginning.
	There's a strata that you join as that high-functioning person, and that strata has a chasm between you and the next lower strata.
	It's a cognitive chasm.
	I believe that this cognitive chasm is also going to be the dividing line between the wealthy and the poor, i.e.
	another way to say that would be those who can cope with the rise of AI agents and AI robots, etc., and who can then transcend the mass automation of cognition, which is already accelerating, versus those who will be made obsolete by Artificial cognition.
	So for those who are kind of the lower strata IQ people who can't fathom what's happening, don't know what's happening with vaccines, don't know about the psyops, they don't know much about history, they don't know the dollar is going to collapse, they don't know that AI is going to replace their desk job, etc.
	Like, what hope is there for those people to be able to navigate and overcome the things that are sweeping in so rapidly right now?
	In my view, there's not much chance for those people.
	This is why I try to uplift people.
	I want to help as many people as possible join the higher strata of cognitive function.
	Cross the chasm and join the smart kids group or whatever you want to call it.
	But it's just higher functioning adults, which is...
	Really, most of the people listening to this podcast, if you've made it this far, you are already in the upper strata of cognitive function.
	And if anything that I've said here is something that's maybe a gap that's missing in your life, well, you can address that.
	You can do better every day, and I'm not perfect either.
	I don't have 100% affirmative compliance with everything I'm recommending in this report.
	But I do the best I can, and that's all I'm saying is we should all do the best we can and use the resources that we have available.
	All right, moving on to Category 4, the EMF exposures, the 5G, the technological exposures, blue light, all this.
	Again, the answer here is avoidance wherever possible.
	So if you have a 5G phone, you know, you can put it in a...
	A Faraday bag, and you can block the signals.
	So your phone won't be transmitting, and the tower won't be transmitting back to your phone.
	So if you have a phone, get yourself a Faraday bag.
	The Satellite Phone Store's got a bunch of them, sat123.com, and they block all the signals, and you can pull out the phone when you want to use it, but you don't need to carry it around 24-7.
	With it, you know, beaming out signals and receiving signals, that's just exposing you.
	So that's one thing.
	And then we talked about screens, you know, get off the blue light screens, get out into the world, have some sunlight, or the next best thing would be, you know, the red light therapy machines.
	But ideally, you're going to get some sunlight every single day, wherever you can.
	And minimize blue light exposure.
	You know, you can buy.
	Blue light filtering glasses, you know, I mean, I think we've even sold them before at our store, healthrangerstore.com.
	I don't know.
	We might even have some there now.
	I don't even know.
	But that way, if you're looking at screens, especially at night, then it takes a lot of the blue out of that, and you're getting a warmer, more yellowish, you know, color.
	And some devices like Apple phones, I think, and some of the Android phones, you can...
	You can actually turn off the blue light.
	There's a setting where you can make it less blue.
	That's actually healthy for you.
	So avoid blue light.
	At home, if you're using Wi-Fi for everything, see if you can maybe use hard lines, Ethernet cables.
	Or if you have an EMF hotspot or like a Wi-Fi hotspot, you could maybe move it farther away from your bedroom.
	So that you're not getting as much energy out of it.
	Or maybe you could turn it off while you're sleeping and then just turn it back on in the morning.
	A lot of things like that that you can do.
	But again, this comes down to avoiding exposure.
	Alright, now the next category, number five, is about information warfare, media, psyops, all of that.
	This gets more difficult.
	So the first thing that you have to do is you have to have the presence of mind.
	To avoid being manipulated by dishonest media.
	So how do you avoid a measles scare striking fear into your heart?
	Well, the answer is knowledge and skepticism.
	So number one, you should never trust anything from any official source.
	Don't trust anything from the FDA, the CDC, the NIH.
	Don't trust anything from a government.
	Don't trust anything from a corporation.
	Don't trust anything from the mainstream media.
	Ever.
	Even when they can tell the truth about a story, they will still often lie about it just because that's all they know how to do is lie.
	So by default, don't trust anything they say.
	Doesn't mean they're always wrong, but your default position should be, I don't believe it until I get more proof that that's true.
	Because they lie all the time.
	Remember, they lied about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	They said that was Russian disinformation.
	It's a total fabrication.
	The laptop was real.
	The story was false.
	They lied about Trump and the dossier, you know, all that in Trump's first term.
	They lied about COVID.
	They lied about masks.
	They lied about vaccines.
	They said they were safe and effective.
	Total lie.
	They're not safe.
	They're not effective.
	Okay?
	Lie after lie after lie.
	What's bizarre to me is that even...
	Among people who realize that the media always lies, they will still come back and believe the next story they hear from Reuters or something.
	Reuters reported this!
	It must be true.
	The same Reuters that lied to you year after year after year, why do you suddenly believe them again?
	I don't know.
	They're official sources.
	Well, honestly, if you're dumb enough to believe the sources that you know already lied to you year after year, You have a problem with your cognition.
	That's a low IQ behavior to trust sources that you know have lied to you again and again and again in bad faith.
	And that's different from a good faith source getting a story wrong.
	Because we've all done that.
	We've all had analysis that turned out to be incorrect.
	But we're operating at least...
	Myself and most of us in independent media, we're operating in good faith.
	We're trying to get it right.
	We're trying to empower you with the truth.
	If we make a mistake, well, we feel bad about that.
	But when the media lies, they feel good about that.
	When the media misinforms you, they figure it's mission accomplished.
	They're not trying to tell you the truth.
	They are literally trying to lie.
	And then in terms of overcoming censorship, this is a difficult one, too, because you have to use alternatives.
	Alternative sources of information.
	That's the only way to overcome censorship.
	I'm still shocked how many people use Google.
	I don't use any Google services at all.
	But people still use Google as a search engine and Google Maps and then they wonder why they're being spied on.
	People use Gmail all the time and Google Docs and they wonder why they're being spied on.
	You know, it's just crazy to me.
	Stop using censorship tools.
	So for an alternative search engine, Use Brave Search.
	It's just search.brave.com.
	It's one of them.
	Or Yandex, actually.
	It's run by Russia.
	That's a totally different point of view.
	For alternative AI, obviously use our engine, Enoch AI.
	It's designed to be uncensored.
	There are still some refusals that it will give you on certain topics, but it's designed to give you full access to all knowledge as best we can.
	And again, that's launching soon at brighteon.ai.
	For uncensored social media, use Brighteon.social.
	And for a social media engine that cannot be censored because it's distributed blockchain technology, it's Brighteon.io.
	Or, you know, there are other platforms, right?
	There's Gab, there's Telegram.
	X is better now than it used to be, but it still has a lot of censorship.
	But for video platforms, you know, there's, of course, Brighteon.com, and there's Rumble, and there's Bitchute.
	And honestly, Bitchute and Brighteon are the two most free video platforms in existence.
	Rumble is also doing a great job holding the line for freedom of speech.
	I do want to acknowledge that.
	But they are owned by a public company, and I fear...
	There will be more shareholder or investor pressure on them long term, but we'll see.
	I mean, so far, Chris Pavlovsky has done a great job holding the line on Rumble, and of course, Andrew Torba has been a free speech champion over at Gab, and I've been a free speech champion.
	I hope you agree.
	We haven't been perfect, but we've corrected a couple of mistakes where my staff delisted a video that they shouldn't have and things like that.
	But my intention is positive and good faith to have Brighteon platforms and engines all be pro-freedom of speech.
	So get your information.
	Censored.news is another website that we run that brings you headlines from, I think, 40-plus websites that are typically censored.
	That's censored.news.
	And check out naturalnews.com, obviously, and get information from a variety of sources.
	Like, if you want to know what's happening in the Middle East, you should read Al Jazeera.
	You should read Middle East Eye, not just the Western press.
	If you want to know what's going on in Europe, you should read Remix News, which I think is rmx.news, and that's kind of independent media of Europe.
	You'll get stories there that you won't see in the mainstream European press.
	The bottom line is you have to seek out independent sources of information.
	And the good news about our AI engine is that this is about to be released and it's going to give you this massive collection of human knowledge, mostly uncensored and completely free, and with all of this other training material that we've used to alter the engine.
	So it's...
	Incredibly powerful.
	Again, brighttown.ai for that one.
	And don't forget our docuseries launching this Saturday, brightu.com.
	In fact, if you just sign up at brightu.com, you can watch every docuseries for free.
	We launch a new one about every couple of weeks.
	And they're all free.
	They're all loaded, just jam-packed with knowledge and information.
	We just finished one with Marjorie Wildcraft.
	And it's just amazing.
	And speaking of knowledge, free knowledge.
	You can also go to brightlearn.ai and you can see all of our Bright Learn book review videos, which normally I would play one or two for you, but today our broadcast is so long, I'm probably going to skip those for today.
	In fact, I think I'll have to skip the oat milk segment.
	Maybe we'll do that tomorrow.
	But the bottom line is overcoming censorship is doable.
	It just requires effort.
	You just have to make an effort to do it.
	Stop using Google.
	Stop using Facebook.
	Stop trusting official sources.
	Stop trusting the FDA or the CDC.
	They're not telling you the truth.
	Stop trusting the corporate news media.
	They're liars.
	They're in the business of lying and social manipulation.
	That's what they do.
	All right, so the final category here, category six, which is societal and behavioral factors.
	So these are things that...
	You have control over.
	That's the great news here.
	You do have control.
	So I talked about the dumbing down of the education system as an attack on cognition.
	Well, guess what?
	You can be a lifelong learner.
	And I just mentioned a bunch of things that can help you learn.
	You can go watch the brightlearn.ai book review videos, and that will teach you a lot of things.
	It's not just like watching a movie for entertainment purposes.
	It's knowledge.
	It's knowledge that you can use.
	And I also encourage you to use AI engines.
	Learn how to engage in prompting so you can practice asking questions to get the results you want or to get the research you want.
	Use your brain.
	You know, I do the Rubik's Cube, like I said.
	You might do crossword puzzles, which also exercises your brain.
	To some degree, social interaction is a brain exercise.
	So depending on your age, some elderly people...
	They need the social interaction just to keep their verbal acuity going, which is why you end up with so many people in nursing homes playing bingo, because it's just like something to do other than just lay there, you know?
	At least it's something, and maybe you'll have a chit-chat along the way, and you can practice some interaction.
	But keep learning, keep reading, keep using your brain, keep problem-solving.
	And most of us do that naturally anyway because we're curious about the world.
	We always want to keep learning.
	Take walks in nature and identify plants, you know, or sign up for a wildcrafting food walk if you can find one.
	Or like bird watching or something.
	Take up bird watching.
	You get yourself a pair of binoculars.
	You learn about all these birds.
	And you get to walk out in nature, get some sunlight, talk to some people.
	You know?
	It's healthy, actually, to be into birdwatching.
	I've never recommended birdwatching before, but it makes total sense.
	Why not watch birds?
	They're beautiful.
	It's better than watching TV, right?
	And the times that I've seen wild birds on my property is just amazing.
	Like 75 wild turkeys that landed in a field one day while I was driving my tractor.
	I was like, wow.
	These are amazing birds.
	Just amazing.
	And I've got roadrunners.
	You know, they just cruise on down the road.
	It's fun watching roadrunners because I keep wondering, like, why don't you just fly?
	They would rather run, you know?
	And then eventually they fly.
	But they don't start out flying by default.
	They run, which I guess is why they're called roadrunners.
	But I'm like, why don't you fly?
	I don't know.
	I've got a lot of birds on my ranch because I...
	I don't use pesticides and herbicides at all.
	And so what happened over all the years is that all this habitat grew.
	And it got to be massive, like massive food sources, wild berries and everything.
	And we have so many rabbits now, tons of rabbits.
	And then what happened with all the rabbits is then we got more owls.
	Because I guess owls hunt small rabbits at night.
	And also rats.
	And we ended up with more owls.
	And I was just looking at an owl yesterday.
	I was actually standing right next to it.
	It was sleeping during the day, just sitting on the ground.
	I was like, hey, what you doing?
	And owls are some creepy-looking creatures because their heads almost rotate all the way around like exorcists.
	Like a full circle.
	I was like, whoa, that's creepy, Mr. Owl.
	What are you hunting tonight?
	But I love watching birds because I honor the life of all animals and all creatures, and birds are truly amazing.
	Anyway, moving on.
	Okay, avoiding substance abuse.
	So alcohol is a big, big issue, and possibly some people listening struggle with alcohol addiction.
	There are...
	Numerous programs, obviously everybody who's dealt with that is aware of the programs, and I'm not in any way saying that it's easy to overcome.
	In my life, for whatever reason, I've never been attracted to alcohol.
	I can't really stand it, actually, and so that's not something that I've dealt with, but I've had people in my family who have been substance abusers, and as you know, one of my Distant relatives died from a fentanyl overdose.
	He thought he was injecting heroin, I guess.
	He was a heroin addict and died, sadly.
	And I've been around alcohol abusers and drug abusers here and there.
	I mean, all of us have, right?
	Because this is part of our society today.
	So I would just say that if you're suffering from an alcohol abuse issue, number one, have mercy.
	Don't judge yourself negatively.
	Understand that you have tremendous worth in the eyes of God and in society.
	And just because you're struggling with that doesn't make you any less of a person at all.
	It just means that you've got something to overcome that's going to take work and dedication and a journey.
	And don't we all?
	Don't we all have different journeys to overcome?
	So don't judge yourself in a negative light, but do get help.
	And do work with others to help you stay sober.
	I mean, I'm not trying to be like your AA coach or anything here.
	But get help.
	It's out there.
	It's available.
	There are people who report...
	What is this herb?
	Let's see, yeah, ibogaine.
	This is a psychoactive alkaloid.
	I'm reading this from an AI engine.
	It's derived from the root bark of the West African shrub called Tabernanthe iboga.
	It's being explored as a treatment for addiction, particularly opioid dependence, alcohol, and stimulant addictions such as cocaine.
	Oh, well, I guess Macron could benefit from that.
	I interviewed a gal.
	It seems like it was a couple years ago.
	I don't even recall her name.
	She was with a company that I think is trying to develop an ibogaine-based Molecule to get FDA approved for addiction treatments.
	But did you know that there are people, I think, in fact, I think my producers are working on putting together an interview with one of these people.
	They offer, outside the United States, they offer guided iboga therapies or ibogaine, I'm not sure the right way.
	They have treatment centers where it's legally available to do this.
	And by the way, if you're in New Zealand, Belgium, France, or Switzerland, you can do this legally.
	And apparently, from what I have heard, that one treatment with this substance can rewire your brain and can break addictions permanently for some reason.
	I don't know all the details.
	But it can break such addictions permanently.
	Producer can get that connected.
	And I'll bring you information about that.
	That's all I know at the moment.
	It's something to check out.
	Hey, you could probably use the AI engine to ask questions about Ibogaine.
	It's I-B-O-G-A-I-N-E.
	If that's something that could benefit you.
	Interesting stuff.
	Okay, and then finally, in terms of self-care routines.
	For you to be healthy and to keep your brain healthy, you of course need to practice healthy self-care.
	And that means getting good quality sleep, good duration of sleep.
	Get the electromagnetic interference and fields away from your bed if you can.
	Turn off your phone.
	Get it away from you.
	Turn off the Wi-Fi.
	Get it out of there.
	Get eight hours of sleep if you can.
	Make sure that you have contact with nature.
	Make sure that you're touching nature.
	So very simply, one of the things that I do as I'm out in nature doing my kettlebells is I always touch the ground with a certain kind of kettlebell squat press.
	So I have a kettlebell in one hand.
	The other hand, I touch the dirt.
	And then I alternate.
	So I'm always touching the dirt with every rep.
	And I know it sounds silly.
	Oh, you're touching dirt.
	So what?
	Well...
	But I'm also grounding with dirt.
	Every time I'm touching dirt, I have contact with nature.
	I have contact with the earth.
	There's something electrically that happens there that you don't get in front of a computer screen.
	And I know it's really simple, but since I'm doing this nearly every day, and like that particular squat, let's say I'm doing 25 reps, well, so I'm touching the earth 25 times a day, and that's...
	In addition to any gardening or tree planting or irrigation work that I might also be doing where I'm touching dirt.
	So if I'm touching the dirt every day, you know, 30 days, 25 times a day, 750 times a month, I'm touching dirt.
	So thousands of times a year, almost 10,000 times a year, I'm touching dirt.
	Well, okay.
	Like, good for you.
	That's why your hands are dirty all the time.
	Yeah, it's true.
	Yeah, my fingers and hands.
	A lot of times have dirt on them.
	That is absolutely true.
	But my brain still works.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, my eyes still work.
	I don't mind having dirty hands.
	What I mind is having dementia.
	You know, I don't want to go Joe Biden, right?
	So every little thing counts.
	I'm not saying that touching dirt is a cure for dementia.
	I'm saying that every little thing.
	You put all this together that we've talked about here, in combination, the nutrition, the avoidance of toxins, Boosting brain function, you know, physical exercise, exercising your brain, natural sunlight, right?
	All these things together.
	Being a critical thinker, critical learner, all of it.
	This is what protects your brain.
	And this is your defensive shield against the attacks, the assaults on your cognition.
	And this is what's going to get you through life and it's going to make your life better.
	Remember, when your brain works better, your life gets better.
	And these techniques, that's how you're going to get there.
	And notice that this doesn't require you to purchase any medical devices necessarily.
	Yeah, you can have a red light machine, or you can just go out in the sun.
	Just get sun.
	I mean, yeah, you can buy exercise machines, or you can just go out and lift logs or something.
	I mean, there's a low-cost alternative to everything here.
	Yeah, you could purchase expensive supplements or you could home garden.
	You could grow a bunch of herbs and you could just produce them yourself.
	So in every way that you can, take advantage of this.
	I plan to publish a full article on this at naturalnews.com.
	It might be there.
	By the time you hear this, you should check it.
	Hopefully I can get it published.
	Use this and you will protect your brain.
	I think, like, I'm living proof of it, too, because I do most of these things, and here I am, like, after midnight on a Sunday night, no coffee, no peptides, no stimulants, nothing, still functioning, and looking forward to tomorrow, you know?
	So remember, God wants you to be a genius.
	God gave you a genius brain.
	We all live in a toxic world.
	Which means we have to take steps to unleash our natural genius.
	And this is how you do it.
	You protect your brain.
	You exercise your brain.
	You nourish your brain.
	And then if you want to augment it with neurotropics, you can also do that.
	But avoid vaccines.
	Avoid psychiatric medications.
	Avoid SSRIs.
	Avoid painkillers wherever you can.
	Avoid drugs.
	Avoid abusing alcohol.
	Avoid...
	You know, all those things.
	If you can.
	And if you can't, work on getting there.
	Make it a goal.
	And get there step by step, day by day.
	Have a plan.
	That's how you do it.
	So thank you for listening.
	I hope this has been very practical and very useful.
	Of course, I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger of naturalnews.com and brighteon.com.
	And I'm wishing you the best.
	And I do want to mention that this whole report...
	It's sponsored by our store, healthrangerstore.com.

	And I thank you for your support.
	All right, be well, everybody.
	And I'll be back with you with a lot more reports at BrightTown.com.
	And you can read about all this at NaturalNews.com.
	Take care.
	The economy's tough.
	Trade embargoes are underway.
	Trade wars.
	The supply chain is taking a beating.
	A lot of people are losing jobs right now.
	So what are we doing to help you be able to afford clean food and high-potency nutrition?
	Well, here at healthrangerstore.com, we've just launched a program called Buy More, Save More.
	And if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash save, that's all you have to enter in, healthrangerstore.com slash save, you'll see that we have 209 products.
	On this special program, which gives you an automatic discount coupon code when you purchase a higher quantity.
	For example, Health Rangers Hawaiian Astaxanthin right here.
	You click on that, and this is your normal savings of 29%, or you can go here and you can buy more, save more.
	You can buy 3%, get 5%, buy 6%, get 6%.
	We don't have massive margins on these, by the way, but these savings are significant.
	And then if you click, grab this deal, then it adds that to your shopping cart and it puts the discount code in there automatically.
	So there's your discounted price.
	Buy more, save more on all 209 products that we have available on this program.
	Everything from chlorella to nascent iodine, concentrated mineral drops, as you can see.
	Many, many items.
	We've done this for you.
	Now, you might ask, How can we do this when all these tariffs are kicking in on China, like 150% tariffs, and so imported products from China are going up in price?
	Well, guess what?
	We don't import anything from China except, I think, goji berries.
	But we've been China-free in our supply chain, or almost 100% China-free, for many, many years.
	So we are not impacted by these high tariffs from China.
	Now, there are 10% tariffs on products from other countries.
	And we do source different materials from different countries, just depending on the material.
	For example, we get our non-GMO vitamin C out of the United Kingdom because we don't buy GMO vitamin C from China, which is the cheap vitamin C that everybody else sells.
	So we have high-end non-GMO vitamin C. And yeah, it's more expensive, but it's not going up in price because we're not hit by the tariff.
	So this is why we're able to put together these savings for you and actually pass along Discounts at a time when almost all the other retailers are hiking their prices because they source almost everything from China.
	It's kind of like the dirty little secret of the nutrition industry.
	People getting everything from China.
	From herbs and vitamins and nutrients and amino acids and all of it.
	Most of it actually comes from China, folks.
	So that's going to get very expensive.
	But we're able to help save you money.
	Buy more, save more.
	So check it out again.
	It's at healthrangerstore.com slash save and you can scroll down and see everything that we have available for you.
	So many different solutions.
	Everything from personal care products to here's Manuka honey and here's our tooth salt and here's whey protein and broccoli sprout powder high in natural sulforaphane which is an amazing molecule.
	You know, so much more.
	Food supplements, storable foods, superfoods, personal care products, home care, all kinds of products available on this program.
	Buy more, save more, and trust me, you're never going to see lower prices than this for the future.
	Because, well, you know, inflation, the dollar's collapsing, so everything's going up in price no matter what.
	But thank God that our supply chain has banned So thank goodness we made that decision many years ago so that our products are not skyrocketing in price even during this trade war.
	So yes, you can stay healthy.
	You can have outstanding nutrition, outstanding superfoods.
	You can boost your preps during this trade war by shopping with us at healthrangerstore.com slash save.
	And thank you for your support.
	Welcome to today's interview here at Brightown.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brightown, and today we're joined in studio by one of our favorite returning guests, Michael Yan, who just flew in from Panama with a ton of information about geopolitics, sea lanes, conflicts, including in Pakistan and India, what's happening with Yemen, what's happening with Israel, Gaza, and Panama, Greenland, so much more.
	Welcome to the studio, Michael.
	It's great to see you.
	It's great to be back.
	I just came in from Panama.
	I've been gone for a year, I think.
	Has it been that long?
	We were in Japan and Taiwan and Thailand and Singapore looking at the Strait of Malacca.
	We were, of course, where else?
	Argentina for a couple of months and then Panama and a couple of other places.
	But we've been looking at the sea lanes and looking at the routes and resources of the different places and things that are going on in regard to that.
	And I think you were one of the very first people to really point out publicly, or maybe the first, that piecing together the strategic importance of all of these sea lanes and all of the canals, the Suez and Panama in particular, but also the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Hormuz, which is really relevant right now.
	So can you, just to bring our audience up to speed in case they haven't caught any of that, Can you give us an overview of what's happening with the world?
	There's this massive East versus West battle for control over these lanes.
	Right.
	Oh, I'm sorry, but the media in America doesn't really tell the people anything about this.
	Right.
	Because we're talking about the grand strategic level.
	Not the strategic level, but the next level of strategy, right?
	Which is, you know, grand strategic level.
	And very few people actually study that.
	And actually, the naval officers, more so than army officers, know this a little better for some reason.
	A lot do.
	For instance, I think all of the naval officers watching this, certainly the old school ones, will be very familiar with Alfred Mahan and his book from 1890, Sea Power and the Effects on History, from what, 1660 to 1786 or something.
	Anyway, it's an incredible book.
	It's like the Sun Tzu and sort of...
	Clausewitz on war mixed together.
	And he wrote part of it down in Panama.
	Of course, the Panama Canal opened in 1914, but his book was published in 1890.
	So again, it's Alfred Mahon.
	So if you want to have a little grassroots look at this, read Alfred Mahon.
	All the serious naval officers, they're like, of course I read that.
	In fact, it's right here.
	Let me quote you a page, that sort of stuff.
	So if you read Alfred Mann, and he's actually going through a lot of the warfare, naval warfare, from 1660 to, I think it was 1786 or something along those lines.
	And it is fascinating.
	And a lot of it is completely appropriate for today.
	And again, when he was in Panama in 1890, You know, the canal was far from open, right?
	It wouldn't be open for another 25-ish years, right?
	And so you'll see him keep referencing if that canal has ever opened in Panama, that sort of thing.
	It's quite interesting.
	So I really want you to expand on this.
	Because you've been in Panama, a lot of Panamanians, as I understand it, are really baffled by Trump's aggression towards the Panamanian government.
	Even at one point, considering a military, I don't know, takeover of the canal and demands that all American ships should sail for free, etc.
	What's the response from the Panamanians about all of this?
	Because they're mostly U.S. allies, aren't they?
	It's pretty mixed, actually.
	Generally speaking, I feel very welcome in Panama.
	Extremely welcome.
	And even with, despite everything going on, and yesterday there were a bunch of protests, but mostly those protests are actually about internal matters that we would be protesting here, like social security issues, right?
	And then there are others who hijack it.
	Well, not just, there is, you know, among the nationalists, and by the way, I respect the nationalists, they need to defend their country.
	But a lot of the Panamanians, of course, want to keep...
	Panama as sovereign as they can.
	One thing that I tell Panamanians, including members of their government, is remember, Panama is a nice, juicy lamb with wearing pork chops surrounded by predators who are predacious towards each other, right?
	And somebody will take Panama, period.
	This is the grand strategic level.
	That's why I spend so much time in Panama.
	You know, since Biden was installed...
	Almost instantly I was down in Panama.
	And now I've spent over a year there in the last four years, right?
	Because I knew or thought very strongly this would be a place of contention.
	And now it's turned out to be accurate.
	But keep in mind, like the predictions on Nord Stream and the predictions on what's happening in Netherlands, part of it is on the lower level, I'm looking at the strategic level, that...
	There's clearly people that want to put us in famines.
	But on the grand strategic level, a higher level still, like the ocean current level, actually, let's say, as opposed to the waves, the ocean current level would be the grand strategic, like these are standing currents, right?
	People...
	Such as the British have wanted to keep Russia and Germany separated for a long time.
	For instance, Trump mentioned about keeping Russia and Germany separate.
	If Russia and Germany have that connection through the pipeline, of course, Nord Stream, well, that's power.
	That's power.
	I mean, that will increase Germany's industrial strength.
	They'll naturally come together.
	And so for many generations...
	People have wanted to keep that.
	That's why Masako Ganaha and I, we went to Germany several times, we went to BASF twice, predicting, again, that was a grand strategic level and strategic level thought process that led us to that.
	Likewise with Panama, and also we were recently over at Singapore and Thailand, we were looking at the Strait of Malacca, and we were looking at a bypass on the Krah Isthmus.
	So that, you know, China is building a railway to bypass straight of Malacca, and some other things are doing in Cambodia as well.
	But the bottom line is, is when you look at this on these different levels, you can start to, and you have, it takes a lot of study.
	You're not going to understand this in a month or two, right?
	You're not going to understand it in six months.
	You're going to have to really put a few years into it and travel around and look at these things, and then you will start to be able to predict, for instance, that Netherlands will be a point of contention because they have the Rhine River, which is the Mississippi basically of Europe, that dumps out right there at Rotterdam, the biggest harbor in Europe.
	And just south of that, of course, is Antwerp.
	So we're all looking at this sort of level of things.
	But let me help paint that grand picture that you're referring to for our audience, which is that no empire, whether we're talking about the U.S. Empire, Chinese Empire, Russian Empire.
	No empire can really dominate the world without, number one, having a dominant transportation network.
	Sea is the most cost-effective and fastest way to transport.
	Land is the second.
	That's the second choice.
	China's doing both, developing both in a very elaborate manner.
	But in order to dominate the world economically and geopolitically, you have to be able to project sea power.
	That's always been true.
	Every currency that's ever been a world-dominant currency has been tied to the projection of sea power.
	But then, for manufacturing, including for weapons, tech, green energy, etc., you have to have access to the minerals.
	And minerals can't be synthesized.
	You can't make them out of nothing.
	You have to actually go find them and dig them up and extract them and then bring them back to your factories.
	And China dominates rare earth metals or minerals and also the extraction technology of those minerals.
	And China is cutting off the U.S. from those minerals which are used in aerospace and military and energy, etc.
	But am I painting a pretty fair picture of sort of the big chessboard here?
	Yeah, routes and resources, right?
	Routes and resources.
	That's what this is all about.
	The vast majority is about routes and resources.
	You know, there's seven major naval choke points in the world, and the number one most important is the Panama Canal.
	For the United States, 100%, unequivocally, Panama Canal, right?
	Now, Suez is very important for us as well, but it's nowhere close to as important as Panama.
	And it's very important, though.
	And that's another.
	And the Strait of Gibraltar, of course, you know, where the...
	Pillars of Hercules, that sort of thing, what they called it in the old days, right?
	And Turkish Straits, or Bosphorus, depending on what you want to call it.
	Of course, Bab al-Mandeb, which, as you saw, the Houthis put a hurting on that, which meant also then Suez.
	And also Strait of Hormuz.
	So you see this war that may kick off with Iran, and probably will, is related to that, right?
	And then, of course, you've got the Strait of Malacca.
	The Strait of Malacca is over by Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, right around there.
	And China can bypass part of that by building...
	People have thought about...
	For those who have a map in their head like I do, I've got a global map and small map sheets.
	I've got a whole library here.
	So when I say things, it's helpful to either have that map sheet in your head or on the table.
	But for those who have been to Thailand, Thailand has like an elephant trunk hanging off of it, right?
	That connects with...
	Malaysia, and one of the borders is Burma, or Myanmar, and the Gulf of Siam, the Gulf of Thailand, right?
	That is called the Kra Isthmus, the Turtle Isthmus, right?
	And as you know, for hundreds of years, people have wanted to put canals across pretty much every Isthmus in the world.
	And, you know, the United States built over 4,000 miles of canals in the 1800s, by the way.
	Wow.
	It's unbelievable.
	And Europe did similar.
	But so the Kra Isthmus, it...
	People have wanted to build a canal across the Cray Isthmus for centuries, but it's harder than the Panama Canal, which was pretty hard, right?
	So now they're building a train.
	China's building this train, and it's coming down right now.
	They were already taking thousands of jobs away from Thailand as this train comes down, and people order from Timu in Thailand, and they get orders from China by rail.
	But when this train goes across the Cray Isthmus, That will give China a bypass to the Strategic Strait of Malacca, right?
	They're also building a canal off the Mekong River that goes through Cambodia, and that also goes through the Gulf of Siam, the Gulf of Thailand, depending on the name you want to use.
	and we'll connect with that railway.
	In other words, there's all these little strategic things going on all over the place.
	Little strategic.
	But there's many little big things going on all over the place that most people don't quite notice.
	But as you can see, the thing going on in Panama right now, it's going to blow up sooner or later.
	I don't know when, but all the players are at the table.
	Everything's in the pot.
	And this is just the way humans will go.
	Somebody's going to go for it.
	And the two parties vying for control right now are the United States and China when it comes to Panama, I would argue.
	Do you agree with that, or what would you add?
	Yeah, I would add to it, actually, I know this will be controversial, but it's actually, I think, more of the Zionist in China.
	And I have reasons to say that, and I'm not saying Jews, I'm saying Zionists, right?
	The Zionist Party, which is what's going for Suez, right?
	And Babam and Deb, right?
	And if they take Gaza, which it looks like they'll end up ethnically cleansing, genociding Gaza for the gas, for potentially building the Ben-Gurion Canal, which is not really parallel, but basically almost parallel to Suez.
	To bypass Suez and Egyptian control.
	Suez as well.
	But if you get Bob Amandeb, which means you've got to get rid of the Houthis, right?
	And also there's a problem with Djibouti there.
	There's Chinese there and others, right?
	But this is a big play in motion, and keeping in mind Iran, Strait of Hormuz.
	And if you control that, you're also strangling Russia and others.
	Go ahead, sir.
	Well, no, but it seems to me that The tariff trade war with China that Trump is waging right now is actually pushing us into escalation of all of these things.
	Oh, clearly.
	Right.
	And also, it was a week ago or so that Trump announced secondary tariffs, saying that any nation that purchases oil from Iran will itself be unable to sell anything to the United States.
	Well, the number one purchaser of Iranian oil is China.
	And second and third are Turkey and India.
	Although they're dropping that more and more.
	But I don't think that Turkey's going to stay in NATO.
	I think India will maintain more loyalty to the West, but they've got their troubles in Pakistan.
	But China has every reason right now to ditch the dollar, ditch trade, actually to cut off the United States.
	China can survive it.
	I'm not so sure that the U.S. economy can survive that.
	What do you think?
	I don't know how it's going to play out because it's so complex.
	It is complex.
	Yeah, it's quite complex.
	I'm curious how the SCO and NATO will both survive this.
	SCO, of course, is the Shanghai Cooperative Organization, which is like the other side's NATO, right?
	And keep in mind, some of the members of SCO are, of course, China, Shanghai, right?
	Shanghai Cooperative Organization, but also Russia, Pakistan, India.
	Iran, and a few others, right?
	So India and Pakistan, right?
	So, I mean, those obviously could really...
	And remember, what wars do predictably, they grow.
	I remember your rules, yes.
	I mean, these rules, if you use these rules when people ask you, you're always going to look like a genius, but it's like cheating.
	Like one of my high school teachers said, if you study hard...
	It's better than cheating.
	It's like cheating.
	You'll just get the answers right.
	So three things that wars do very predictably is they grow.
	And they grow unpredictably.
	And they last longer than people expect.
	And so this will...
	It looks like it's growing as we speak, actually.
	And from there, it'll do things that we didn't quite expect.
	I mean, you know the energy's in the system.
	It's basically like shooting a bunch of bowling balls around the room and wondering what they're going to knock over next.
	Right, right.
	Well, let me ask you this.
	Do you...
	Well, I'll tell you my perception first, and then you can chime in, correct me if you think I'm wrong, or add to it whatever you want.
	But it seems to me that Trump in particular is running things as if it were the 1980s.
	Where America had so much absolute naval dominance, military dominance, economic and currency dominance.
	And a lot of the decisions and things I see from Rubio and Trump and negotiations through Whitcoff and others, there's this level of arrogance.
	And Hegseth, you know, I call him the Pentagon's frat boy.
	Hegseth, like he's on TikTok all day or something.
	He's making these just crazy tweets threatening Iran.
	But there's this arrogance that seems to me to be obsolete in reality.
	What's your take on that?
	You know, arrogance is very dangerous in war.
	And this is a war.
	And, yeah, extremely arrogant.
	And, you know, just in the last, since Trump was in office, we've had the Secretary of State, Rubio, down in Panama.
	Then we had SecDef, you know, Hegseth.
	He stayed in the same hotel I was at.
	And then came the director of CIA about 10 days ago.
	I'm not sure if that's in the news at all.
	But he was there.
	So there's those three.
	And then there's others that are not in the...
	I don't know if the CIA director was in the news at all, but he was there as well.
	We've had a lot of heavy hitters coming through that are definitely not in the news.
	Clearly, we're coming to the table in Panama.
	However, there's a lot of other things going on with Panama in the region that a lot of people don't get.
	For instance, China.
	China is colonizing Panama, right?
	Now, people may not, Panamanians go apoplectic when I say that.
	They're like, you don't know anything, I'm from Panama, yada yada yada.
	I was like, listen brother, if I'm in your country, you should probably be thinking about your defense plan.
	And I spent over a year here since Biden was installed, and the Chinese clearly are subtly coming in like kudzu, right?
	Like they did in Hong Kong, as you're well aware.
	I've mentioned this numerous times with you.
	They came in with subtle migration and they kept bringing in mainlanders into, you know, Mandarin-speaking mainlanders into Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong and slowly took over teachers' positions, you know, policemen, politicians, and then they took it.
	But in Panama, China also brings...
	Infrastructure investment.
	They build bridges and things, right?
	So that's one of the ways that they exert influence in the local communities is actually they give those communities benefits, right?
	And then, you know, hey, we're your friends, right?
	And isn't that one of the methods of sort of being there and influencing?
	Yeah, most of the...
	Most of the Panamanians are very skeptical of the Chinese.
	Now, keep in mind, there are Chinese that have been there since the 1840s, and they're Panamanians.
	They're like this.
	They're intermarried and stuff.
	They're family, right?
	But that's that layer.
	I spent all afternoon with a Chinese author in Panama about a week or so ago.
	And she's from, like, the second layer.
	Her great-grandfather came in the 1880s, right?
	So the first layer was building the railway.
	That was finished in 1855.
	Her great-grandfather, I think it was, came in the 1880s when the French were working on the canal, right?
	And now they're up to about the seventh or eighth layer, right?
	So they're different.
	Groups of Chinese, and they don't all get along.
	So the idea that China's like, we've been here the whole time, it's like, no, no, no.
	That was different Chinese, right?
	And the word Chinese, as you well know, because you know this, I mean, you speak Mandarin.
	There you go.
	I remember you were translating for me with some Chinese coming through the Darien Gap one time in Mandarin.
	And so, as you know, saying Chinese is like saying European.
	There's a lot of types of Chinese.
	There's a lot of types of Europeans.
	And so we're on to about the seventh or eighth layer now, and they look down on a lot of the other Chinese that are there.
	But one thing that's important to keep in mind is that the Chinese are taking over increasing positions of power there.
	Mostly behind the scenes.
	If you go into the malls there, it's filled with Chinese, right?
	And they're up in Chiriqui, for those who are familiar with Panama.
	Go there now, there's Chinese everywhere, right?
	So it's not just Chinese.
	There's many other groups there as well.
	But the Chinese are putting specific emphasis on Panama for obvious reasons.
	I think eventually...
	Let me tell you a story, though.
	So I was in Panama.
	Well, I just spent five months there, right?
	That was my last trip was five months.
	And so I came there from Argentina after looking at China issues there.
	So there I was the day that the power went out in Spain and Portugal, right?
	So how long ago was that?
	And so I'm standing in this Chinese memorial park.
	Look at the movie scene here.
	I'm standing at this memorial Chinese park.
	Right beside the canal, so I'm looking at the canal, ships going through.
	Right beside me is what they're building the new Chinese bridge.
	And I can hear them working, jumping out rock and stuff, right there.
	And there's where Hegseth spoke just previously, right behind that.
	And right across the canal is one of the ports that BlackRock is trying to buy.
	One of two ports, right?
	That is run by Chinese.
	So get the scene here.
	I'm standing in a Chinese park.
	Next to a Chinese bridge that's being built with a debt trap, right across from a Chinese port, as a ship comes through with windmill blades, and I'm like, windmill blades, where could this be going?
	Texas.
	I look up the name of the ship.
	The ship is coming from China with windmill blades to Galveston, Texas.
	No kidding.
	I mean, you can't make up this stuff, right?
	Everything's wrong with this picture.
	I mean, this is what killed Spain and Portugal, right?
	They had one of the things.
	They had all...
	Reed Mahan, he talks about this, Alfred Mahan.
	The Spanish were out stealing gold and silver all over the place, and they would take that, and they would buy their ships and their goods from the Dutch and the English and whatnot.
	So the Spanish and the Portuguese had all the gold and silver, but then they spent that in other countries to buy their stuff.
	So then when it came time for war, they didn't...
	Their only wealth was gold and silver.
	They didn't have factories and the ability to build ships.
	So that's what we've done.
	That's what we've done.
	We've taken a lot of our wealth, and now it's the Chinese, of course, doing it.
	Really important points that you've made there, and it reminds me that China has, as I had read, 200 times more dockyard capacity than does the United States for ships.
	Not just military, but also commercial tankers or cargo ships, what have you.
	That's a very big disparity, meaning that China can build ships much more quickly.
	I also saw that the U.S. Navy is actually having, I think, Korea build some of the U.S. naval ships now because they can't be built cost-effectively in the United States, which is exactly the point you're speaking to.
	But isn't Panama, I mean, it's in our sphere, you know, it's part of the Americas.
	Shouldn't it be relatively easy for the U.S. to maintain and assert control over that lane as compared to China or anybody else?
	It would be, but you know, a few years ago, I was having dinner with one of the president's friends, President of Panama's friends in Panama, and just, he and I, we talked for hours, and he kept saying, where's Bigfoot?
	Big, meaning us.
	It's like Bigfoot left Panama.
	I mean, like when we took the canal, are we...
	Gave it to them.
	We didn't give it back.
	It was never Panama's canal, right?
	When we gave Panama the canal for $1 in 1999, most of our business just left.
	I mean, we were gone, right?
	They've been through the Noriega issues and those sorts of things.
	And so Americans soured on investing in Panama.
	So we left a vacuum, which China was happy to fulfill, in something this important to us.
	This is the Panama Canal to us, right?
	But that was under Clinton.
	That we gave it up, right?
	Well, actually, it was under Carter.
	And so Carter signed the agreement, right?
	I see.
	And actually, if you look way back, we'll go back in history a little bit.
	You know me.
	If I go into history, I'll get boring.
	But in 1903, we formed Panama from Colombia, right?
	So on November 3rd, 1903, Panama was formed from a rib, basically, of Colombia, right?
	Because we needed to have a stable country.
	To build the canal.
	So we made the canal, or we made Panama, right?
	Sponsored a revolution, defended the revolution.
	It was very quick and almost bloodless.
	And then we started work, and then we made the, some people say under dark circumstances, we made the agreement for the canal.
	It's like, not at all.
	I mean, that was explicitly what we were trying to do.
	Make Panama so we can make the canal, right?
	And so we made the agreement that we had 10 miles, we had a 10-mile strip, 5 miles on either side of the canal was basically American land.
	So we built the canal from American blood and money.
	Trump keeps saying 38,000 died, which I picked up this book.
	I've got a million books.
	It's a 1913 book, a report from the Isthmian Commission about our casualties.
	There was like 3,800 actually, and about 300 Americans actually.
	And that was right as they were going to open the canal a few months later.
	So we had 300 and something Americans died building it.
	In any case.
	Not to go into that.
	But the point is, that's why the Panamanians go apoplectic.
	They're like, why does he die?
	There wasn't that many Americans.
	And it's true.
	They're absolutely right.
	But it was our canal.
	100%.
	100%.
	Unequivocally, our canal.
	U.S. money.
	Our investment.
	Yes.
	We built it.
	And then the globalist thing happened.
	You see in the early 1960s, there was a sort of revolution in Panama, which was sponsored in part by China, running some of their operations out of Cuba.
	And so, anyway, so what's happening here is they take the canal, which we ended up turning over, lock...
	The whole thing.
	Keys in the door.
	After building more infrastructure, by the way.
	And so we turned it over to the Panamanians for a dollar.
	Now, the same thing is happening today with Mauritius.
	So now we nominally give it to Panama.
	But the real goal is for China to end up taking it from Panama.
	They're doing the same right now with Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
	Right now, China is working, trying to use the United...
	They are using the United Nations to try to take Diego Garcia.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	To give it to Mauritius, and then they can take it from Mauritius, right?
	So it's the same thing they did with Panama.
	Get the Panama Canal, give it to the Panamanians, give Diego Garcia to the Mauritians, and then take it from them.
	It might take a long time.
	It might take two or three generations or more, but it'll work.
	I mean, it's an easy game plan, actually.
	Wow.
	So do you agree with Trump's aggressive stance trying to secure...
	Panama right now?
	Let me be clear.
	It is this important to us, right?
	It is literally that important.
	If Panama...
	If China takes the Panama Canal, they can strangle us to death.
	Quite literally, right?
	Our economy...
	You know, very few of the even army officers get that these days, but you say that to Mike Flynn, and boom, his eyes get bright, his ears go up like a rabbit.
	He wants to know everything about Panama.
	He's totally tracking on, you know, a few of them are, right?
	Because we have been brainwashed away from realizing, like gold, you know, Americans don't realize how important gold is, right?
	I mean, but it's the same with Panama.
	We've been brainwashed away from realizing how important that is.
	You know, let me say...
	But can you...
	Share with our audience why that is.
	I mean, and let me just say one obvious reason is the mobility of our naval forces, being able to handle Atlantic and Pacific without the one-week delay or whatever.
	How long does it take to sail around the tip of South America?
	First of all, you'd have to sail around the tip of South America.
	And China's building military presence down there.
	So they can interdict us there as well.
	Oh, yeah.
	And not to mention, it'll take so long, right?
	Right.
	That and many other things, but also our economy, right?
	Yeah.
	Data cables land there.
	There's a lot more going on.
	This is a path between the seas and the continents.
	Also, the road that's being built to Columbia, which people continue to deny is happening, I assure you with 100% certainty.
	I've been there many times.
	I just took Laura Logan down there.
	I've taken Ann Vandersteel numerous times, Misako 15 times probably.
	Took Brett Weinstein, Chris Martinson.
	I've taken them all to see those bridges.
	They are clearly building a road to Columbia.
	That will...
	The reason that we kept...
	We call it the Darien Gap.
	They call it the Gap because there's no road for 100 kilometers, right?
	Well, until they build this.
	But in Panama, they call it tampon de Darien, the tampon of Darien, the plug of Darien, right?
	Because it is a defense plug, right?
	The reason our military wanted to keep that plug there for so long is to defend Panama.
	And I keep saying over and over, Colombia will probably end up making a claim on Panama.
	And finally, I've been saying that for several years, finally in about the last week, there was the first...
	Hints of that last week or so.
	Really?
	And how will they do this?
	That will be China edging them on.
	Because China is building down there, and Ecuador, of course, and Peru, and Colombia.
	And, you know, you've got to keep in mind how important Colombia and Panama are.
	Look on the map.
	In 1492, of course, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
	Well, shortly after that, he ended up down at Panama, right?
	So he was sailing up and down the coast of Panama, and the first city that was on, the first European city that was on, or let's say settlement, that was actually on the mainland of North or South America, not in Dominican Republic or what is now, or Puerto Rico, but actually on the continental...
	Land was in Santa Maria del Darion, right?
	Santa Maria La Antigua del Darion was the name, right?
	And so Balboa built that in 1509, right?
	Why did he build it right there?
	It's right on the Colombian side of the Darien Gap.
	Because the Atrata River, he thought he could get to the Pacific that way, right?
	But he couldn't, actually.
	And the Indians ran him out in 1524.
	And actually, the cathedral that was there was the first cathedral built on the mainland Americas.
	There's still part of it in Panama City, right downtown at Casco Viejo, for those who are familiar.
	So the oldest cathedral in America, part of it was moved from California.
	Anyway, the bottom line is, ever since about 530 years now, people have fought hard for Panama.
	People have wanted Panama.
	It's been obviously strategic for 500 years, more than 500 years, right?
	So the first city in Panama was at a place called Acla, and that was where Balboa was beheaded, actually, in 1519.
	And he was the first governor of Darien, actually.
	He was beheaded by the second governor of Darien.
	So then the Scottish came much later, and they tried to make a settlement in Darien.
	New Caledonia is the name.
	It's in Darien.
	And they tried very hard.
	They sold a bunch of bonds and that sort of thing.
	And about 2,000 dead Scots later, Scotland was bankrupt.
	And that's why in 1706 and 1707, Scotland was absorbed into the United Kingdom.
	That's why Scotland today is part of the United Kingdom.
	They were trying to make a path between the seas.
	Then the French came.
	Tried to build a path between the seas, and they went bankrupt, and then we came and we actually pulled it off somehow.
	Okay, but does China want to benefit from being able to control and use the canal, or in a time of conflict with the United States, would it be more in China's interest to actually destroy the canal and render it unusable by Western forces?
	They could destroy the canal in many ways that were known about in Even before the canal was finished being built.
	For instance, there's a dam called Gatun Dam.
	I was just at it, sitting right beside it with Laura Logan.
	Like, really, right beside it.
	So there's no security on it.
	But the Japanese were going to attack that in World War II, but didn't quite pull off the attack.
	But everybody knows Gatun Dam and these certain locks.
	There are certain things you can easily do to the canal.
	In other words, with modern technology, doing an over-the-horizon attack is child's play.
	If you hit Gatun Dam, The canal's unusable.
	Yeah, if you take out the dam, it'll dump the Gatun Lake, which is a vital part of the canal, into the Atlantic side, right?
	And so it'll just, it's like taking the plug out of the bathtub.
	Right.
	And it'll take several years for that to fill back up.
	Right.
	So that's child's play to actually take that out.
	And there's many other things they could do with software, whatever.
	You know, about two or three weeks ago, I sat and I watched this rail bridge for all day, and I took a time lapse, actually.
	And I did that because this rail bridge was hit by a ship in 2020.
	Now, this is important why I would do such a thing and sit there and just watch it.
	There are two ports, there's seven ports in the Panama Canal, but there's two on each side of the canal run by Hutchison, Chinese.
	Those are the ones that BlackRock wants.
	Of all the ports, those are the two you want.
	That's Boardwalk, and that's Park Place.
	And the railroad that connects them is strategic.
	That railroad opened in 1855.
	The original railroad was used to build the canal, and now a lot of it's underwater, so they built one parallel to the canal.
	So that connects those two ports, right?
	The railroad.
	Maersk bought it about roughly a month ago, right?
	And just out of the blue, Maersk bought it.
	So obviously I was like, why did they do that?
	And there's reasons.
	But this is why these two are important.
	These two Hutches and Ports.
	The ones that Trump's trying to give to BlackRock.
	Blackrock to buy.
	If you bring your ships on the Pacific side here, they can just dock there and load and unload to the trains.
	There's thousands and thousands, probably tens of thousands of containers right here, and likewise over here.
	And you put them on the train and they go back and forth, the ships don't have to go through the canal.
	So it's basically like mailmen dropping off.
	It's a drop box.
	So these two, even if the canal were out of commission, if it were out of commission, you would be...
	You would be boardwalking Park Place and you got the railway.
	So that one little bridge that goes over the Chagras River near Gamboa, for those who are familiar with Panama, you know, it's right next to the Nazi crane.
	For those who are familiar, there's actually a Nazi crane from World War II that's there.
	You can't make up the stuff.
	It's still an act that you can't even make it up.
	And so it's unbelievable.
	All these things are right next to each other.
	And so that bridge in 2020, a ship lost its steering and ran into...
	The perfect part of the bridge that I would hit if I were trying to...
	Okay, the canal is about 50 miles long, right?
	And there's two sides of the canal, right?
	So let's say it's 100 miles, 50 on each side, and it's about one-eighth of a mile would be my target.
	And they hit that spot.
	So I was like, that's about doing math in your head.
	That's about one out of 800 chance, right?
	So I went there and I looked at it.
	So I talked with two investigators.
	Why?
	Because I was wondering if a ship took that out so that they could...
	They could devastate the company that owned that Panama Canal Railway at that time and try to buy it from them.
	That was my potential.
	And so one of the investigators I spoke with, and I talked with two, both are very familiar with the canal and accidents that happened in the canal.
	One said, no way, it was just an accident.
	And another said, no, it looks pretty suspicious.
	So 50-50, I don't know.
	So I sat there on this little hill.
	Next to the Nazi crane.
	And I watched the ships go by.
	And you can see, actually, if a ship did lose steering, because there's a little bend there, it actually would hit that spot.
	And one almost hit it in 2012, I think, as well.
	So for those who live near there and are still wondering what happened to that bridge, my guess on looking there is, I still don't know.
	But clearly, Mares...
	Still did just buy that railway.
	Now, who wanted to buy it?
	MSC, Mediterranean Shipping Company, who has a good relationship with BlackRock.
	So if Mediterranean Shipping Company got the railway, it would be BlackRock, Mediterranean Shipping Company.
	They would have...
	Imagine if the canal went out at that point.
	You would be able to charge an arm and a leg.
	You would be in control of that shipping right there.
	The point is, though, it's a pretty fragile infrastructure system there in time of war.
	Which means that either side could very easily sabotage the canal, which would have enormous implications for world trade.
	But now let's shift focus over to the Strait of Hormuz, because there you have a similar situation, but it's even more narrow.
	I mean, I think there's a lane where the ships actually sail through the Strait of Hormuz, and it's only two kilometers wide of the ships passing each other.
	Like, that's the safe lane, right?
	It's basically like the Panama Canal in a sense.
	Although Panama is a little bit skinnier, but not much.
	But where the ships sail, I mean, is so narrow in the Strait of Hormuz.
	So it's very easy to sabotage that or target that.
	Now, Europe relies on natural gas exports that go through the Strait of Hormuz.
	And as I understand it, about 30% of the world's gas and oil energy actually travels through that strait.
	Or something roughly like that.
	So imagine cutting off, in one day, roughly a third of the world's energy supply.
	The implications of that are enormous, and yet we have Netanyahu threatening constantly to bomb Iran, and then we have these pro-war forces in the Trump administration, the war hawks, who always, they've always wanted to bomb Iran.
	Do you think, I mean, you said earlier, you think Iran is going to get hit at some point.
	What's your thinking around that, and can that be avoided?
	It's clear that at least some of the oligarchs want to cause global famine.
	That group would want to do it just for those reasons.
	If you close Strait of Hormuz, Bob Omendeb, or just Suez Canal, let's say, and the Panama Canal...
	Oh, I mean, that's it.
	I mean, you wouldn't even have to touch Malacca, especially if you then had major power outages in some place like the United States.
	As you know, there's going to be some major famines, right?
	Especially if these are long-term shutdowns, it would be.
	Now, the Strait of Hormuz, it's easy to shut if somebody wants to shut it.
	And keep in mind, so like, for instance, countries like...
	Like Iraq.
	They only had two oil platforms during the Iraq War, and I was on both of them.
	They're called ABOT and CHAOT.
	They're right next to Iranian waters.
	Like, I learned about those, and I'm like, wait a minute.
	You're saying all of the oil from Iraq goes out through two oil platforms right next to Iranian waters?
	I gotta go there, right?
	So anyway, I ended up on these helicopter with Command Sergeant Major Mellinger, the top sergeant major of the Iraq War, and we ended up on a British ship.
	Climbing up the rope ladders, and the next thing you know, we end up on these two, ABOT and CHAOT, right?
	And literally, one of those oil platforms is literally aero-distance from Iranian waters.
	And I mean literally aero-distance.
	And so these Iranian boats were coming up and down fast.
	One actually got hit by a suicide attack at one point.
	I wasn't there, but the point is...
	A lot of these countries have just tiny little strategic places that can be hit.
	On the Carver Matrix, right?
	For those who are familiar with these sorts of things, criticality, accessibility, recuperability, vulnerability, effect, and resources, right?
	So, I mean, the bottom line is, if you shut down Strait of Hormuz, a lot of people are going to be hurting.
	Saudi, everybody is going to be hurting until that thing is reopened.
	Well, right, but back to the bombing, or the threat of bombing Iran.
	Even if the oil fields themselves are not the targets of the bombing, rather, if the purpose of bombing Iran is to try to achieve regime change in Iran, still Iran seems likely to choke off the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, which would affect many other Middle Eastern nations and their economies as well, for export reasons.
	Right?
	Like the UAE would be impacted as well.
	So, how likely do you think that is to happen if the West, you know, Israel and the United States begin bombing Iran?
	How likely is it?
	I mean, this is something I think about daily.
	How likely is it that somebody else wouldn't be the one to shut it, but we blame it on Iran?
	Right?
	I mean, because there are other oligarchical systems, and that does not include Iran, who wish to see global famines.
	Right?
	And those...
	There's people that want to reduce the populations of the Earth dramatically.
	That's not Iran.
	That's not Russia.
	And China wants to make the world Chinese, right?
	But they don't want to shut off their own oil, right?
	They don't want to shut off their own energy.
	And the U.S. wants to destroy Western Europe.
	I'm convinced that's why we blew up Nord Stream.
	Clearly.
	And that's a grand strategy right there, right?
	And that does multiple things at once.
	Reduces our food resilience.
	Well, I mean, it splits Russia from Germany, which is something that's been, before our grandparents were born, their grandparents wanted to keep those two separate.
	Right, so if the U.S., let's just, as a thought experiment, let's say the U.S. Navy goes in and does something to sabotage the Strait of Hormuz, just like they did with Nord Stream.
	Just like Joe Biden promised we were going to destroy Nord Stream.
	I mean, he's on video saying, we're going to destroy it, right?
	He did.
	And they made good on that promise.
	Trump recently mentioned similar.
	Yeah, right, right.
	I think he said, we know who did it, or everybody knows who did it.
	I think he said something like, I would have done it if he hadn't, or something like that.
	I'm not sure.
	I don't know the verbatim quote.
	I forgot the quote, too.
	But suppose the U.S. military sabotages the Strait of Hormuz, blames Iran, and then who gets destroyed?
	Western Europe, because they depend on these energy exports, which makes Western European countries more dependent on U.S. energy.
	So this is about...
	Also hurts Russia.
	How does it hurt Russia?
	Russia uses Iran for access as well.
	So, I mean, it hurts a lot of people.
	It doesn't hurt just Europe.
	It'll hurt, I mean, the whole region.
	Right, but I mean, aren't there Iranian ports outside of that strait, closer to the Arabian Sea there?
	I wonder how long they'll last.
	Yeah, good point.
	And then that brings in Pakistan, because Pakistan's ports are right there also.
	Water.
	Which is run by?
	Chinese.
	Got it.
	And Russia needs to sell energy, but I'm thinking that if the U.S. sabotages Strait of Hormuz, the rise in energy prices would benefit Russia tremendously in terms of their revenues, because they can still ship oil.
	By, you know, by land, not all of it by sea, but they can sell to India.
	They can sell to, you know.
	This is where these things become so complex.
	Yeah.
	They become, you know, because, you know, life will find a way, right?
	Especially when you've got smart people with ships and trains.
	And keep in mind, in the 1800s, when the U.S. built about 4,000 miles of canals, the canal building slowed down when we started building trains faster.
	But then over time, we started building pipelines.
	So pipelines is another way that things get shipped quite a lot, like Nord Stream.
	And then electrical lines as well.
	So now there's ways to ship resources that didn't even exist back then.
	I mean, in mass, like energy.
	We can ship energy between Colombia and Panama now on electrical lines, right?
	Or between Canada and the U.S. or whatever, right?
	And so these things are all significant.
	And how the workarounds will happen...
	Nobody knows until it happens.
	I'm glad you mentioned that because countries adapt.
	Like China, for example, right now is engaged in what's called country of origin washing of their products.
	So they'll take products out of a Chinese factory, ship them to Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and with arrangements with the business leaders there.
	They swap out the boxes.
	They counterfeit the documents to say, country of origin, Thailand.
	And they ship it to the U.S. without the tariffs.
	Right?
	Which I think is very clever, and it's very Chinese to do that, actually.
	It's been around since the advent of tariffs.
	Right.
	Yeah, and flags.
	I mean, even Mahan talks about this in 1890.
	So this is all like the normal.
	Right, I mean, Chinese are going to be adaptive.
	I mean, Russians are very adaptable, etc.
	Even Americans as well.
	So these tariffs are not actually absolute.
	They're not going to be as effective as Trump desires them to be, which may save us from having totally empty shelves, actually.
	You know what I mean?
	Because China's getting around that.
	Or China ships to Mexico.
	Mexico repackages it, drives it across the border to the U.S. It's Chinese goods made in Mexico.
	You know, because money flows like water.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And we'll find a way.
	That's why they want the digital that you're always talking about, so that it can't flow like water.
	Right.
	CBDC control.
	Right.
	But they don't have it yet.
	No, they don't.
	These people will adapt, and they're playing big boy war.
	They're not playing movie stuff.
	A lot of what we see with this administration is like movie stuff.
	It's like acting.
	Who is in jail yet for all the crimes that were committed?
	I haven't seen anybody.
	Nobody.
	We haven't seen the Epstein documents.
	Just a bunch of talk.
	Doc Chambers and I had an interesting dinner together the other night with some interesting people, and one of the gentlemen there, a retired military officer, Ask, you know, well, what should we do about Panama?
	I said, well, the first thing we would need to do is get a long table of very smart people and take about a month, a bunch of maps on the wall, and really think this through.
	Because this is, you want to measure three times and cut once, right?
	Yeah.
	I mean, because there's a lot more to this than just seizing the canal.
	It's the entire region.
	You know, Argentina, I'm sorry, Venezuela is...
	You know, deeply in with Cuba and Russia and China right next door to Colombia.
	Of course, they can close the canal from Argentina.
	You know, that canal will not stay open if somebody wants to close it.
	It doesn't take China to do this, right?
	It doesn't take that, you know, sink a few ships and that's it.
	And there's only a few places the ship's coming to go.
	If you look at the heat map of, you know, ship trackers, you can see, well, this is child's play to shut this down with modern technology.
	Right, right.
	Okay, then what about Greenland?
	Let's talk about Greenland for a second, because this is the other part of sea lanes and, you know, over-the-horizon radar, watching Russian nuke threats, things like that.
	Why is Trump so insistent on taking Greenland?
	That's another strategic route.
	As you know, Masako Ganaha and I went up there to northern Canada last year, actually, and we were looking at similar issues.
	We went to Yellowknife.
	We didn't go to Greenland, which is not Canada, of course.
	It's in that general region, right?
	Yeah, right.
	But we were up there about these things and demographic changes and that sort of thing.
	You can clearly see that many players are setting conditions to control those northern sea routes.
	Like, for instance, when you see the anthropological warfare that, for instance, making these indigenous communities, they're mostly autonomous.
	The reason that they do that is so that somebody can take them away, right?
	By the way, I see this happening.
	I love your background there.
	I see this happening now.
	Let's talk about anthropological warfare for a minute, and you'll understand why I mention it so often.
	With anthropological warfare, it was one of our defenses in Panama and Thailand, actually.
	In Panama, when we created Panama in 1903, and then we created the canal, which opened in 1914, one of the major defenses of the Panama Canal was having a stable Panama.
	So we wanted everybody to speak Spanish.
	Even though I'm out with Embra Indians all the time, we message back and forth almost every day.
	You know, I spend months with them, right?
	And Kuna, I'm out with them a lot, and various Indians.
	I'm out there all the time with them.
	They all speak Spanish, right?
	And why?
	Because the United States wanted everybody to get along.
	So when you're doing anthropological warfare, you find, you study everybody's...
	You find histories and their firmware, their anthropological firmware, their cultural firmware, and you find ways to make them get along.
	You find reasons that they like each other.
	Now, if you want them to fight each other, you do the same thing and reverse the polarity.
	You find reasons for them to hate each other.
	I see that starting to happen in Panama now.
	In Thailand, we did the same thing.
	With the Thaification program, when King Rama IX came over, because, you know, Thailand is the hyphen in the Indo-Pacific, right?
	Very Pacific, very important for the United States.
	And so we helped King Rama IX, an incredible king, and they did what's called the Thaification program.
	So all these different languages, like in the Esau area, there's, what, 17 or 19, I think 17 languages?
	Like, you know...
	Like Khmer and Lao and Hmong and all these different languages, right?
	And so they wanted them all...
	You can speak your own language.
	No problem if you want to speak your own language.
	But everybody needs to speak Thai.
	And you do the proper brainwashing program that you'll be proud to speak it and write it very well, right?
	You'll be proud that your family is resilient and has fish ponds and that sort of thing.
	And so they make you proud to be Thai and everybody...
	You know, revels around the king, which, oh, sorry.
	I'm sorry about my alarm going off.
	Sorry about that.
	It probably didn't even get picked up by the microphone.
	So with the Thaification program, Thailand is one of the most resilient countries you'll ever see.
	I mean, the king, Rama IX, was teaching everybody no drugs, none of this stuff, right?
	Half fish ponds use every bit of your toothpaste.
	Decentralized food supply.
	Oh, big time.
	And he did a lot of scientific study around Thailand, what grows best where.
	That's why they grow so many flowers where they used to grow opium poppies, right?
	And so we helped them build the roads and these sorts of things and build them nationalistically strong.
	And we did the same with Panama.
	But now somebody's reversing the polarity.
	On Panama and Thailand.
	Like Thailand now, there's thousands of cannabis licenses now.
	They weren't there even three years ago.
	Like when I went there last year, and I've been all over Thailand.
	If people web search my name, they'll see me flying around with the prime minister on the jet.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I had a lot of access to Thailand on the ground, out in the jungles and everywhere else, and those levels.
	And I can see somebody's reversing the polarity.
	To make Thailand break apart, which would be tragic, because that's an incredible country.
	So, chaos agendas.
	But aren't there also extreme chaos agendas being unleashed domestically right here in America, right now?
	I mean, clearly, there's...
	I mean, Obama did a lot of it, too.
	You know, race wars, trying to foment racial...
	Anthropological warfare.
	Yeah, right.
	But even under Trump, and I'm not saying that Trump's trying to do this, but even despite Trump, there are globalists and other forces that are trying to cause the U.S. to break apart from within.
	Civil war, unrest, economic uncertainty, all these things.
	Clearly.
	I mean, that's one of the reasons we've had this demographic warfare, the weapons of mass migration, right?
	The invasions.
	Speaking of which, down in the Darien Gap.
	The flow is almost zero now.
	It's maybe, let's say, arguably five people a day.
	Something like that, right?
	Where it used to be 2,000, 3,000.
	One month was 89,000 in dairy.
	I've got all the records.
	You've seen them.
	I mean, there was a lot of flow.
	Right now, it's very low.
	However, and this is key, all the infrastructure is still in place.
	And by the way, the guy from Mauritania who shot the Jewish guy, The Jewish man survived.
	I talked with Todd Binsman this morning about it.
	Todd's written a lot about it.
	Todd's a good friend of mine.
	We've been to the border a lot and that sort of thing, Colony Ridge, and he's been to the Darien.
	But Todd, I talked with Todd this morning again.
	I said, you know, the guy that shot the Jewish guy, he was in the Darien.
	He came through the Darien Gap on January 2nd, 2023, right?
	And that guy...
	Was helped by HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
	Talk about splitting things apart, right?
	And so if you go to HIAS.org, you'll see some of the donors.
	Many Shapiros, like one named Ben Shapiro.
	I'm not sure who that is.
	And so there's a lot of donors on there, right?
	And why are Jewish donations going to help people come into the United States?
	And I warned about this over and over and over.
	You're going to end up with Jewish people getting killed on golf courses in Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach or something by people that came through the Daring Gap who were helped by HIAS.
	That guy was 100% helped by HIAS, 100%.
	There is no chance that he got on that database without being helped by HIAS.
	Okay, so...
	You said the infrastructure of the invaders is still there, so like the San Vicente camp, that's one that you toured.
	I think Lajas Blancas is another camp, right?
	And Mallorcas, actually, as you, I mean, you're the one that spearheaded this whole story.
	Mallorcas funded these.
	I mean, these are U.S. funded, at least partially funded, through the U.S. invasion camps, but they're still there, is what you're saying.
	Yeah, and Mayorkas was a board member on HIAS before he went.
	Yeah, of course he was.
	If you go to HIAS.org and you look, they have a letter there congratulating him from leaving as a board member on the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society because he was a child of Sephardic Jews who came from Cuba.
	So that's why he was on that board, because he was Jewish, right?
	And so then he went to became the Department of Homeland Security guy, and he came down to Darien and brought more money, and the camps increased in size.
	And they're still there.
	They're still there.
	They have not been dismantled.
	They were there as of about six days ago.
	Okay, so this means that if the Trump administration doesn't dismantle these camps, possibly with the help of the Panamanian government, then, you know, four years down the road, somebody else gets in power, they just restart the camps, right?
	You know, Anthony Rubin, whom you know, was just over in Muratani.
	He was over in some other places.
	He was just over in Africa.
	And IOM is pushing Africans up to Europe there right now.
	They're also pushing, and HIAS is down there as well.
	So all these organizations are still fully functional.
	They're not flowing into the United States right now, not in large numbers that they used to, but all we've done is turn off the water spigot.
	Remember, several years ago, many people kept saying, you can't close the Darien Gap, that's impossible, including intel people.
	I would say to these people numerous times, serious people that would get angry with me and probably never talk with me again, if I had a table full of generals right here, and one general told me that he can't close the Darien Gap, I would say, you are dismissed.
	You are dismissed.
	Thank you.
	And that'll be it for him.
	Somebody else take his seat, right?
	Because the Darien Gap was child's play to close.
	A switched-on captain with resourced could close the Darien Gap.
	It was closed during COVID.
	You've got the Darien Gap on your side.
	You've got the best jungle in the world.
	If I were to design a jungle to help me defend myself, it would be called the Darien Gap.
	It's like a castle wall.
	It's with a moat.
	But they want the drawbridge down so that the invasion can continue.
	One more thing.
	Yeah.
	Because it's important with you, with others, I might not bring this up, but, you know, the yellow fever.
	They're reporting that yellow fever is now back in Darien.
	And that's something we talked about several years ago.
	Yeah.
	So in the last couple weeks or so, they're reporting yellow fever outbreak in Darien.
	Well, you know, biological warfare has always been part of this, and they combine them, right?
	Bio-warfare with migration warfare.
	Right.
	And some of these are engineered, you know, like Plum Island, Lyme's disease.
	I read a book on that.
	Engineered by the DOD as an agricultural weapon to be dropped on the Soviet Union, places like that.
	Right.
	And another disease down there called Oroposh, interestingly.
	And we went and talked to a doctor in the Darien about it.
	Down at the end, right where the Darien starts.
	Like gold something?
	Yeah, gold is Spanish for gold.
	It's called Oropos.
	I think it's called Oropos because you might get a little yellowish when you get it.
	Oh, I see.
	I think, I'm not sure.
	But I'm not sure about that.
	But actually, we looked it up when I was down there some months ago.
	Well, I just came back a few days ago.
	But a few months ago, we were looking into the Oropos and somebody...
	Applied for a patent not many years ago on that, and then suddenly it's in the Darien and jabbing people up, right?
	Right.
	I think what's happening in the Darien and many other places is, again, this may sound like going out on a limb, but I did predict what's happening in Panama Canal.
	Yes, you did.
	I did predict Nord Stream and the Darien Gap and so many other things that have turned out to be accurate.
	I think what we're going to see is a low-level...
	Quiet genocide in Darien of the Indians.
	I think that's what we're seeing.
	And for instance, some of it's very soft.
	For instance, the Kuna Indians who live in Kunayala, they live on these incredibly, it's like Hawaii level beautiful.
	It's like that level, right?
	And it's worth obviously billions of dollars, even if it weren't in one of the prime locations in the world, but it is, right?
	And so they're, for instance, telling some of the Indians they need to move off some of these low-lying islands because of global warming will flood them out, right?
	So they built these other communities with, like, tract housing, cheap tract housing.
	And, you know, they're doing an information war down there.
	You know, the Kuna lady saying, oh, yes, it's so nice being here.
	But the Kuna Indians...
	Have been there.
	It was the Kuna Indians, according to old stories that I've read, it was the Kuna who probably wiped out Balboa's people in Santa Maria a la Antigua del Dadeon in 1524.
	They've been around for a long time.
	They fought the Spaniards.
	Killed the crap out of each other.
	And the Kuna, there's even a book about them called The People Who Would Not Kneel, I think is the title.
	They just don't give up.
	But the Americans are some of the only ones that get along with them.
	I feel welcome with Kuna, but they still carry some animosity to the Spanish.
	And they had a revolution against Panama in the 1920s.
	They still got their flag flying, their revolutionary flag.
	And in fact, that flag is flying at the Chinese So if you guys can show my screen,
	it's michaelyan.substack.com.
	And here's Be Not Afraid tonight in Panama.
	That's, well, that's from March.
	But you haven't been posting recently?
	No, I posted this morning.
	Oh, just a couple hours ago.
	Oh, okay.
	I literally posted and jumped in with Doc and Kane.
	Yeah, sorry, I don't know.
	This one on top is just an older one.
	Yeah, about Pakistan.
	That's just pinned up there.
	Back in Texas.
	Okay, yeah.
	Okay, great.
	When I unpin it, people are like, why did you unpin it?
	So I repinned it.
	Okay, got it.
	So how can people follow your work then, aside from?
	Substack.
	Substack is the best way, but mostly I actually talk through other people.
	For instance, I just brought Laura Logan to the Darien Gap, brought Laura Loomer, Brett Weinstein, and Ann Vandersteel numerous times.
	So I brought about 60 people to the Darien and to Panama Canal and put it on the map.
	We did the same with Colony Ridge.
	Got a bunch of congressmen.
	I took congressmen to the Darien and Doc Chambers, whom you know well.
	It's been down to Colony Ridge, and we all went together, brought Epoch Times and all those, and we brought millions, and that's how those lawsuits came.
	So I bring others, and as you know, plant mustard seeds, right?
	Planting mustard seeds is the most powerful advice ever, right?
	So basically, I just take people down and show them everything I know and say, well, let's see what you make of it, and then we end up putting it on the map.
	Well, that's true, and that's...
	That's how our relationship has always worked.
	You've brought my attention to things, and you've always been a couple years ahead of the big blow-up of the situation.
	So I'm always paying attention.
	When you say, watch Panama, or you say, I'm coming back to Texas because Texas is going to be a flashpoint.
	I'm like, okay, I'm on alert now.
	I'm watching.
	Because wherever you go, things are about to happen.
	The fact that I'm even in Texas all the time when I'm not like in Panama should be a big hint.
	What I think about Texas, I love Texas, but the main reason I spend so much time here is I realize this is actually, will be one of the main points of contention.
	That's why Abbott's in charge here doing all these things, pretending that he's closing the border, but he's not, those sorts of things.
	And keep in mind, he took a big donation from Trey Harris, Colony Ridge guy, right?
	Right.
	Yeah, so that's, you know, I'm not taking any chances on defamation because that's just the facts.
	I hear you.
	Well, all right, Michael, it's always a pleasure to get to speak with you.
	Thank you for taking the time to join us in studio today, and thanks for taking the trip back to Texas.
	Thank you, sir.
	Yeah, great to see you.
	You too.
	All right.
	Well, it's Michael Yon, everybody.
	Follow him.
	Also on Twitter, his handle, or X, his handle is Michael underscore Yon, Y-O-N, or it's MichaelYon.Substack.com.
	I'm Mike Adams here at the Brighton.com studios in Central Texas.
	Thank you for watching today.
	God bless you all.
