Time Text
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, and 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, you know, 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?
Yeah.
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 Mayen.
So if you want to have a little grassroots look at this, read Alfred Mayen.
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 Mayen, 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 is 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.
A 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 China is building a railway to bypass Strait of Malacca, and some other things are doing in Cambodia as well.
But the bottom line is, when you look at this on these different levels, you can start to, and 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.
That grand picture that you're referring to for our audience, which is that no empire, whether we're talking about the US 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, quite 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.
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.
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, 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 herding 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.
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...
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 Cray isthmus, people have wanted to build a canal across the Cray isthmus for centuries.
But it's harder than the...
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 Krah 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 will connect with that railway.
In other words, there's all these little strategic things going on all over the place that most people don't quite notice.
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.
Well, 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?
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 Zionist, right?
The Zionist Party, which is what's going for Suez, right?
And Baba Mendeb, 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.
They'll want Suez as well.
But if you get Baba 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?
So there's all kinds of...
But this is a big play in motion in 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 is 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.
It's 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.
Yes.
And so it looks like it's growing as we speak, actually.
Yes.
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?
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 then 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.
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.
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.
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 they're pretty open about it.
They brag about it.
they were using, of course, the United Nations, right?
And so anyway, so what's happening here is they take the canal, which we ended up turning over, locked...
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...
A few of them are, right?
Because we have been brainwashed away from realizing, like gold, Americans don't realize how important gold is, right?
But it's the same with Panama.
We've been brainwashed away from realizing how important that is.
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, Masako 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.
When in 1492, of course, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Well, shortly after that, he ended up down at Panama, right?
And 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 15 Uh-huh.
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...
Anyway, the bottom line is, ever since about 530 years now, people have fought hard for Panama.
People have wanted Panama.
It's been...
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.
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 Hutchinson ports.
The ones that Trump's trying to give to BlackRock.
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.
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 a 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 Omendab, 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.
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've got to go there, right?
So anyway, I ended up on this 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, you know, rope ladders.
And the next thing you know, we're...
We end up on these two, Abbott and Chaot, right?
And literally, one of those oil platforms is literally aero-distanced from Iranian waters.
And I mean literally aero-distanced.
And so these Iranian boats were coming up and down fast.
One actually got hit by a suicide attack at one point.
But the...
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 ones who 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 land, not all of it by sea, but they can sell to India.
They can sell to...
This is where these things become so complex.
Because life will find a way, especially when you've got smart people with ships and trains.
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, they're 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.
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.
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-up.
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 some may 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, right?
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 ways to make them get along 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 Thai-ification 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 Taification Program.
So all these different languages, like in the Esau area, there's what, 17 or I think 17 languages, 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.
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 revels around the king.
Which, oh, sorry.
I'm sorry about my alarm going off.
Sorry about that.
That's the word.
It probably didn't even get picked up by the microphone.
So with the Thai-ification 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 Darien.
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 Vinceman 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 highest.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 Darien 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.
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?
Mayorkas actually, as you, I mean, you're the one that spearheaded this whole story.
Mayorkas 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, 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.
Now, 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 Oropos, 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 Dadellano 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.
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 a main reason I spend so much time here is I realize this 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 Brighteon.com studios in Central Texas.

God bless you all.

Thank you for supporting us at HealthRangerStore.com.
We have new products, and we have some products back in stock.
I want to show you some of this.
Show the side view on my desk.
Yeah.
Right there in the center, we have two new products in the yellow dropper vials.
One of them is liposomal vitamin D3 plus K2.
And that's a 2-ounce or 59-milliliter bottle.
And that combines the properties of vitamin D3 with K2, which, as you know, work synergistically.
Of course, it's a lab-tested formula.
It's very pure.
You can look at the ingredients.
We've got everything listed here.
It's on the website, healthrangerstore.com.
This formula is known to be supportive of a lot of natural processes in your body for supporting healthy bones and healthy skin and so much more.
So check that out.
Available now.
HealthRangerStore.com.
Vitamin D3 and K2 combination in a liposomal format.
Then we've also got brand new organic dandelion leaf and root liquid extract.
And this is really fantastic.
It's a combination of glycerin and alcohol for the extraction.
And, of course, this has all kinds of great benefits for supporting normal, healthy liver function, detoxification support, and the ingredients are incredibly just simple here.
Cane sugar, alcohol, distilled water, and organic vegetable glycerin, in addition to the, of course, dandelion leaf and root.
So that's what this is made of.
It's very potent.
It's laboratory tested like everything we sell.
And then on top of that, we have many favorite products back in stock right now.
For example, here we have the Health Rangers Organic Wheat Free Macaroni and Cheese with no added salt.
That's what's in the bucket there.
I want to show you this on the website.
This is extraordinary.
People love this product.
The formula is amazing.
I want to show you the ingredients on this because you almost won't believe.
How amazing the ingredients are.
So it's all organic, but look, the pasta elbows are made from organic quinoa, organic rice, and organic amaranth.
And then it has actual organic white cheddar powder, organic heavy cream powder, organic butter powder, and organic whey protein powder, and then, you know, onion and pepper, a couple other things.
But it's not artificial.
This isn't made with maltodextrin and fake cream flavors or any nonsense or artificial colors.
Nothing like that.
The only thing that this recipe is lacking is salt.
We made it really low salt.
We did not add any salt to the formula, so you'll want to salt it to taste.
But it's incredibly delicious, and it's made with real food ingredients.
And then, check this out.
Our MagPlus Brain Boost Nootropic MagTeam Plus Bacopa.
For cognitive performance.
This is a favorite among many of our audience members who are up there in the years and they're looking for that extra brain boost for six to eight hours of enhanced cognitive function, or I should say good cognitive support for normal cognitive function.
This product really helps people in so many ways.
Of course, it's laboratory tested.
You can see the ingredients and the label right here on the website.
