International Rush for Commodities
00:15:04
|
|
| Isn't it amazing how quickly things can pop off in just one incident and then there's this domino effect and we're watching the spillover right now, aren't we? | |
| Minnesota didn't have many Somalians 20 years ago and they've just been adding and bringing them in and bringing it since part of that whole, you know, I mean, was it 40 million illegals that came in during the Biden administration? | |
| Who knows how many since then? | |
| England, London, you know, to be British now means that you're going to be praying five times a day to Allah. | |
| We've been at war for a long time. | |
| I think it's people are starting to recognize it now. | |
| It's official, World War III. | |
| The greatest way to have a war is to not make it obvious to people. | |
| I think we have to declare it. | |
| We are at war. | |
| Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com. | |
| I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and we're joined by a very important guest today because it looks like we're headed into some kind of a regional revolt situation based on what's happening in Minneapolis and the totally corrupt governor of Minnesota, at least that's my view of Tim Walz, who is promising to deploy the National Guard, apparently to go up against federal ICE agents who are attempting to, you know, | |
| arrest and remove illegals and criminals and con artists, a lot of those in Minneapolis, it turns out. | |
| And of course, there was a fatal shooting yesterday that has stirred up even more outrage and protests. | |
| And so this thing is exploding. | |
| I couldn't think of a better guest to have on today than Marjorie Wildcraft, who is, of course, the expert in food self-reliance. | |
| And she has seen this coming for a long time. | |
| Food scarcity, food inflation, trouble with the supply chains, and the overall breakdown of civil society. | |
| So she joins us today to talk about what's happening there and also what you can do to help prepare yourself for what's coming. | |
| Welcome, Marjorie. | |
| It's always an honor to have you on the show. | |
| Thanks, Mike. | |
| So glad to be here. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Unfortunately, unfortunate circumstances, but it is what it is, right? | |
| Well, I'd love to get your reaction actually to that situation because isn't it amazing how quickly things can pop off in just one incident and then there's this domino effect and we're watching the spillover right now, aren't we? | |
| Well, actually, that's been going on for many years, even decades, you could say. | |
| Minnesota didn't have many Somalians 20 years ago, and they've just been adding and bringing them in and bringing it. | |
| It's part of that whole, you know, I mean, was it 40 million illegals that came in during the Biden administration? | |
| Who knows how many since then? | |
| It's, and, you know, England and London, you know, to be British now means that you're going to be praying five times a day to Allah. | |
| It's a, it's a, we've been at war for a long time. | |
| And I think it's, people are starting to recognize it now. | |
| It's official. | |
| It's World War III. | |
| I know you've had Michael Yan on many, many times. | |
| The greatest way to have a war is to like not make it obvious to people. | |
| People here that are watching on Brighteon and watching you are very well aware of this, but I think we have to declare it. | |
| We are at war. | |
| And it's you and I personally that are being attacked. | |
| I think Michael says it really well. | |
| Like if you weren't told to avoid the jab, then you are the one they are trying to kill. | |
| Really good point. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| But so you mentioned we're at war, and I agree with that assessment, but I'd like to add that it's a multi-layered war scenario. | |
| So there's a domestic war that's happening because the radical, I would call them radical leftists who they want America to be destroyed through illegal immigration. | |
| And so they're completely opposing the deportation of those who violated immigration law. | |
| And Tim Walz, who I believe is his, I think he's got deep pockets in this whole fraud front of all the fake childcare learning centers and all that stuff that's being exposed. | |
| I mean, half the country looks like a crime scene, frankly, at this point with government money. | |
| But then we have the international war scenarios that are also escalating with the U.S. seizing the oil tank or the Russian oil tanker leaving Venezuela. | |
| That impacts China. | |
| That impacts Russia. | |
| The situation is not resolved in Ukraine yet. | |
| And also, it's heating up with Iran. | |
| So what do you make of this multi-layered war scenario that we're living through? | |
| Yeah, that's why I'm calling it World War III. | |
| There's also Israel and Gaza. | |
| There's Panama. | |
| You know, there's so many fronts. | |
| You know, I was in New York City about six months ago for a conference. | |
| I don't normally go to the city, but you can always get a direct flight from there from anywhere. | |
| That's why people put conferences on. | |
| And what shocked me walking around Manhattan was, you know, normally the defining smell of Manhattan is pizza, right? | |
| There's like a couple of pizza joints on every street. | |
| This time, the defining smell of Manhattan was weed. | |
| I mean, you know, and this, they're pushing the drugs everywhere in every way, shape, and form, whether it's just weed or alcohol or fentanyl or whatever it is. | |
| But that's a part of a warfare thing. | |
| And then, of course, the information and disinformation and fake AIs and deep fake, you know, like it's really, really hard to know what's true or what's real anymore. | |
| It's getting very complicated and very confusing. | |
| But there's one thing that you can be guaranteed of with war, and that is famine. | |
| Yeah, I want to talk about that. | |
| In fact, we've got your course streaming January 31st at brightu.com. | |
| It's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills. | |
| Free to watch. | |
| Optionally can be purchased if you want to download the whole thing. | |
| We'll talk about that more later, but that begins streaming January 31st. | |
| You can register at any time. | |
| Just go to brightu.com. | |
| But Marjorie, the question is, how will these events that we are talking about, how will they impact the supply chains, transportation of food, food availability? | |
| You know, the economic disruption that could occur could cause lots of problems engaging in commerce. | |
| So what's your assessment? | |
| Well, I think that we're already in it. | |
| I think you can go to the grocery store and recognize right away food has basically doubled what in the last two or three years. | |
| Which you predicted, by the way. | |
| Yeah, it's not great to be right about some of these things. | |
| But we're headed onto that hyperinflationary trajectory. | |
| I just saw some announcements that China has decided to create basically $48 trillion worth of money that they're going to be buying. | |
| This is the end game of the petrodollar or the U.S. dollar or dollar hegemony. | |
| And what they're going to be going doing is going out and buying more silver metal, you know, silver, gold, precious metals, mines, farmland, tangible, useful assets. | |
| But I mean, $48 trillion, that's even more than the quote-unquote official national U.S. debt. | |
| But every country is doing this. | |
| The United States is doing this. | |
| We have those magic computers. | |
| So we are, you know, I listen to influencers that talk about the U.S. paying off for debt. | |
| And I'm like, that's the most ridiculous conversation I've ever heard. | |
| You know, that's never going to happen. | |
| They're just going to, they're going to Weimer Germany this thing. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And it happens quickly. | |
| Like if you study Weimer Germany in January of 1922, people were grumbling because the price of eggs had like doubled or triple, right? | |
| By October, and they were about three marks for a dozen. | |
| By October of that year, and now this is Weimer Germany, 1922, no smartphones, no internet. | |
| I don't think people barely even had radio, right? | |
| By October of that year, a dozen eggs was a billion marks. | |
| Wow. | |
| And the stock market was doing great in Germany at the time. | |
| Yeah, that's another thing. | |
| It did through the first phase of it because people were looking for somewhere to put their money. | |
| And there was a huge amount of speculation. | |
| And we're also seeing that. | |
| I see that we're in the whole AI stock market bubble. | |
| And it looks like based on them reducing interest rates for what, three reductions just in the last, what, four months, they're going to bump this and have that happen again. | |
| Yeah, I don't think AI is going away, but yeah, you can expect, I think they're going to also pump the cryptos. | |
| They're going to pump everything. | |
| But there will be a big collapse. | |
| And we are going to, you know, getting, but the basic staple of being able to eat, that's when you interview people who have survived collapse, when you read the journals of collapsed survivors from civil war or whatever kind of disruption. | |
| Yeah, people, yes, you know, violence goes up, of course, you know, and yes, medical care gets very difficult. | |
| But the number one thing is they go hungry. | |
| That's the biggest thing that they talk about and write about. | |
| And so all of that that you just described seems like there is internationally a mad rush for commodities. | |
| So even nations are dumping their own currencies, swapping them for silver, for rare earths, for silver mines, for gold, obviously lots and lots of gold, but also for things like copper, you know, copper, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, all these things that are used because those are the things that can't be hyperinflated. | |
| I mean, they can't be printed. | |
| You can't print elements, right? | |
| So the fiat currency blowout does seem to be international at this point, which means probably the whole world is going to be screwed in terms of the great debt Ponzi reset, whatever you want to call that, or you could call it the great taking. | |
| But yeah, at the end of the day, what is it? | |
| Tell our audience, what things can they have that will hold value through all this? | |
| Well, yes, absolutely. | |
| You know, precious metals, land with water, you know, tangible items, so tools. | |
| The one thing to think about is the calorie will become a unit of currency. | |
| So food and food supplies or anything to create food, such as genetics, like chickens and rabbits, if you're talking about small-scale stuff, cattle, seeds, even the tools to produce or things like that. | |
| So, you know, I mean, Bill Gates and those guys, he's the largest private landholder of farmland in the United States. | |
| You know, I mean, they're showing you what they're doing. | |
| The Chinese are trying to come in and buy all kinds of farmland and mines and resources at that scale. | |
| That's what they're doing. | |
| At the scale of you and I, that's what we need to be doing too. | |
| But skills are also really, really vital and probably trump stuff. | |
| Gosh, I hate to use that word, but they maybe are more important than stuff. | |
| And now is the time to really start working on those skills. | |
| So, you know, how do you grow food? | |
| How do you make a poultice and treat a broken arm? | |
| And these are things that you can learn because most of these techniques and skills were used by your great, great, great grandparents who didn't have Google, probably couldn't even read and write. | |
| But they knew how to hunt. | |
| They knew how to fish. | |
| They knew how to grow vegetables. | |
| They knew how to treat a wound. | |
| A lot of basic stuff like that. | |
| We need to go back to those basics. | |
| Yeah, absolutely. | |
| We do. | |
| I was paused there because I got to show you something on my screen. | |
| I'm pulling up here. | |
| This is the Eat Real Food, new food guide pyramid that RFK Jr. just announced. | |
| And yeah. | |
| So, Marjorie, we've reached the point of decline in our civilization where the people are so ignorant of nutrition that the government has to tell the plebs to eat real food. | |
| What does that tell you about the collapse? | |
| You know, I was just talking to a friend about this, and it seems to me, it's almost like 18 months or two years ago, it seems that there's been a real divide between those of us who kind of get an idea of what's going on and we're proactive about it and we're taking responsibility and we're working and prepping and doing what we can. | |
| And then there's the other group of people that are the normies that are just really having to take more and more antidepressants because it's getting so strange and they're having such massive cognitive dissonance and they don't know what to do about it. | |
| So we're really in this in this crazy, well, we're in the apocalypse, you know, like it's this totally and crazy, insane time where reality seems incredibly disconnected from what is real and what's true. | |
| I'll tell you another reason that you do need to be growing your own food and sourcing your own food is because the commercial food supply is completely and absolutely toxic. | |
| And I have a lot of people go, oh, but I'm buying organic. | |
| I'm like, the organic standards have been so corrupted for at least the last decade. | |
| You know, they're now allowing Bill Gates' appeal, which is this horrible chemical in the organic standards. | |
| You know, they're allowing so much. | |
| Organic doesn't mean anything except for that you're going to be paying a lot more money for something. | |
| Yeah, that's why we do so much food testing. | |
| And we've seen a lot of contamination of metals in organics. | |
| We've seen that. | |
| Your book, Food Forensics, what was I, God, that was more than a decade that came out. | |
| Boy, that was a shocker. | |
| I mean, when you get done with that book, you'll never eat anything from the commercial food supply ever again. | |
| But what's funny is, see, you know, so RFK Jr. or Secretary Kennedy is telling people to upgrade their diet to the conventional pesticide-ridden foods because that's better than the synthetic garbage they're eating now. | |
| But then you and I are at a different level and our audience is at a whole different level. | |
|
Fake Money, Fake Food
00:04:50
|
|
| Like, no, eat clean food, but, or, you know, grow your own, which is what your course is largely about. | |
| But I want to mention this. | |
| I think they should update the graphic. | |
| Here, let me show it again. | |
| Instead of saying, oops, here it is. | |
| Instead of saying just eat real food, it should say eat real food and buy it with fake money. | |
| Because that's what the dollar is. | |
| It's like real food, fake currency. | |
| It's counterfeit, you know? | |
| Everything is so fake. | |
| It's really, you know, we got fake food. | |
| We've got fake money. | |
| We've got fake leadership. | |
| We've got, you know, fake education. | |
| Yep. | |
| Everything. | |
| It's just so, and yeah, and you'd mentioned earlier, and I do want to highlight that. | |
| Like, so a lot of interviews I've done with people that survived hyperinflation, and that's happened many, many times. | |
| They often talked about, well, you need to have another thing, like have a bank account in another country or have some other currency. | |
| There's not going to be that option. | |
| All of the fiat currencies are going to collapse all at once and probably the entire banking system. | |
| Actually, I hope the entire banking system. | |
| We would be so much better off without JP Morgan, you know? | |
| Right. | |
| Well, and if governments lost the ability to print fiat currency, then we wouldn't have war. | |
| Exactly. | |
| You know, we wouldn't have all the propaganda funded by that. | |
| We wouldn't have the CDC, the FDA, and all that nonsense. | |
| We wouldn't have had COVID. | |
| I mean, all of that is funded by currency counterfeiting, which is what happens. | |
| Even back to Minnesota, I heard a lot of people watching them online complaining, oh, there's so much fraud in Minnesota. | |
| I said, if you want to end the fraud, you have to end the Fed. | |
| Because as long as you can print money, there's going to be money just shoved out to people's pockets and the government gives them a wink and a nod. | |
| Yeah, here, take your billion and give me back, you know, 500 million into my campaign funding for all the Democrats or, and there's GOP members involved in this too. | |
| It's not just one party. | |
| But if you want to end the fraud, you have to end the Fed. | |
| It's the only way. | |
| Well, you know, I don't know if you remember back when Elon was doing the Doge thing, what was it, nine months or almost a year ago, and he found the magic computers, right? | |
| There were 14. | |
| One magic computer should have set the whole world into a collapse spin right at that moment. | |
| And basically, for those who don't know what I'm talking about, is they found a computer that you just put in your routing number and your account number, and then you can put any dollar amount you want in there, and money just gets put into your account. | |
| And there's no bonds that are created. | |
| There's no accounting. | |
| It's just money. | |
| It's just money. | |
| And they were one, just one of those accounts, they were tracking like $5 trillion a year was being spent. | |
| And somebody said, what are they spending it on? | |
| Well, they rented an entire stadium and threw a party for who knows how many thousands of people. | |
| I'm like, what? | |
| When that news came out, that should have collapsed the entire global financial system at that point in time. | |
| Everybody's just like, do, do, do. | |
| Here we go. | |
| And those magic money computers have not been deactivated. | |
| They're still running. | |
| Exactly. | |
| I mean, that system. | |
| So, yes, the system is going to collapse. | |
| And the thing that's interesting about this year, 2026, I mean, I know you and I have both shared warnings for many years and it's difficult to make timeline projections, but I've never seen more people talk about how they think this is it. | |
| This is the last year that this system functions. | |
| Are you hearing that from people? | |
| I am hearing that a lot. | |
| And, you know, yeah, we've been watching this for years. | |
| And there's a lot of times I thought, wow, this is it. | |
| At this time, it really is it. | |
| I mean, we have never seen outrageous money printing by every government on earth. | |
| We're already seeing the trend of price increases on that bathtub curve to hyperinflation. | |
| You know, the corruption is just obvious to anybody who is even halfway awake. | |
| We're here, right? | |
| It's just a matter of when or what tipping point is going to make this happen. | |
| But you can absolutely count on food prices continuing to go up. | |
| You know, who knows when China is going to take Taiwan? | |
| That will probably be sometime this year, right? | |
| And then at that point, electronics, all kinds of trade is going to break down. | |
|
Growing Food in Crisis
00:03:44
|
|
| You're going to have a hard time getting it. | |
| You're already having a hard time getting parts and replacement parts and supplies. | |
| We're in it, guys. | |
| We're in it. | |
| Like, this is happening. | |
| Sometimes I just want to grab people and shake them, you know? | |
| But it doesn't help to shake zombies, it turns out. | |
| The zombies don't wake up when you shake them. | |
| They just get annoyed. | |
| I want to ask you about what's in your course for our audience, but first, tell our audience a little bit about your background because people need to know that you have a strong background in finance as well as engineering and technical skills and formal education as well. | |
| Just can you give us a quick brief of your background before you were Marjorie Wildcraft teaching homefront skills? | |
| Yeah, so several decades ago, I was always very, I grew up in a, you know, quite a poor family. | |
| Well, being poor in America is really not that much of a hardship, but it was a poor family. | |
| And so I always had this like, I want to make money thing. | |
| And I happened to run across Robert Kiyosaki long before he was famous and really took to heart and mentorship with him. | |
| Ended up building a very successful real estate investment business in Austin, Texas. | |
| Actually, it was so successful, Robert said, hey, could you be on my infomercials? | |
| So for four years, I was on national television selling rich dad, poor dad stuff for Robert, which, you know, I was playing the game, right? | |
| I'd made my first million by the time I was 40. | |
| I was now gunning for my, you know, 10 million net worth mark, you know, that whole thing. | |
| And then I was volunteering on this project to get locally grown food into, we thought we'd start with a little elementary school in Red Rock, Texas, which is a little southeast of Austin there. | |
| And that project was a complete and utter failure. | |
| And I will never forget that night when we all realized it. | |
| I had organized the meeting. | |
| We were all at the Red Rock Community Center. | |
| And it dawned on us that there were not enough farmers to provide even part of the vegetables to one small rural elementary school. | |
| And this is outside of Austin, which is, you know, quote unquote progressive, right? | |
| And you know, we'd think there'd be more locally grown food. | |
| And suddenly that drive from Austin to Red Rock made sense. | |
| Like there's no crops out there, maybe a few cattle. | |
| There's a new dollar general going in and here's a new subdivision, but there's no food out in the countryside, you know? | |
| And I just couldn't stop. | |
| I was shaking for hours. | |
| And I knew that I had to learn how to grow food. | |
| I had two small kids and I knew that I had to teach other people how to grow food. | |
| And, you know, it was like everybody wants the message from God or from your higher self. | |
| And that was it. | |
| And so I ended up selling the real estate business and saying, okay, well, this is what I need to devote my life to. | |
| And I didn't know anything. | |
| If you don't know anything about growing food, I can totally relate to that. | |
| You know, I had to learn everything and then figure it out. | |
| And, you know, like, and then figure out the best way to teach people. | |
| And over the years, I realized, oh, people are not going to grow food until there's a crisis. | |
| So how can I cherry pick the easiest and the funnest and the fastest ways to grow food for people who have no experience? | |
| And maybe they're older or they're out of shape. | |
| And so I figured out this grow half system that I've, gosh, I think we've had more than a million people watch that webinar. | |
|
Local AI Control
00:15:21
|
|
| And it's also in the wartime homefront bundle. | |
| And it'll get you up to speed really, really fast. | |
| And I'm assuming that you have only about a backyard size space. | |
| All right. | |
| So that's really critical. | |
| So for those watching, you don't have to be an expert gardener at all. | |
| You can be a total newbie. | |
| You don't have to be young and flexible and be able to work eight hours a day. | |
| We're not into that. | |
| Neither you nor I, Marjorie, we don't want to work eight hours a day in a garden. | |
| You don't have to. | |
| You're talking minutes a day to produce a significant portion of your food, right? | |
| Minutes a day. | |
| Some days it's just five minutes because I've got to run. | |
| There's that meeting. | |
| We just had a flat tire, whatever, you know? | |
| And then, yeah, maybe on the weekends, you're going to spend two hours redoing that garden bed or fixing this thing up. | |
| But, you know, we're all busy. | |
| And just because we're in the apocalypse does not mean we're going to have more time. | |
| Though I keep waiting for the 10 days of darkness, I'm like, when are we going to get the 10 days of darkness? | |
| I'm ready for a vacation. | |
| Okay, so everybody, you can learn this in the Wartime Homefront Essential Skills docuseries that is airing free of charge at brightu.com. | |
| That's the word Bright, followed by the letter U. | |
| It's short for Bright University. | |
| So BrightU.com, and it begins streaming January 31st, but you can register earlier and get on the list and start getting ready for this. | |
| You can also do a lot of research. | |
| I want to mention, Marjorie, here's a great resource. | |
| You know about our books engine at books.brightlearn.ai. | |
| Did you know that there are more than 16,000 books that have been published there now? | |
| Wow. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You gave me an invite to that, and I have been so busy and had a wonderful time with my son over Christmas that I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm excited to please use it. | |
| And for our audience here, you can click on self-reliance and you can see here's like the Arctic Pantry, the Blackberry Cultivators, Bible, Stormproof, et cetera, et cetera. | |
| You can click on survival, et cetera. | |
| And all these books are downloadable for free. | |
| So you can sort of add them, you know, to your local knowledge base to have on your own computer. | |
| And I think, Marjorie, what I want to suggest, this is just spontaneous, but I want to suggest to our crew that we put together a special collection of 50 or 100 additional books from Bright Learn to include with your course. | |
| So if people purchase your course, they're going to, yeah, go ahead. | |
| We're going to do that. | |
| And then we're also, I've been stashing stuff forever. | |
| And I really like stuff that was written like before 1930, right? | |
| Before everything got so whatever. | |
| And yeah, I've got a whole stash of like more than 2,000 military manuals that we're going to be adding to this also. | |
| So this would be small team tactics, military survival in almost every kind of climate you can imagine, you know, foraging, wildcrafting, you know, military field manuals. | |
| So we're going to be adding that as another bonus. | |
| So it's another 2,000 books, which, you know, I love stuff. | |
| Yeah, because it's like written by real legitimate, you know, like this is stuff that you really want to be packing. | |
| And both you and I, we know we're never going to read all those, but what I'm planning on doing is creating my own local AI that I will train that on and say, hey, now I've got my own personal G.I. Joe here, which is what everybody is going, you know, hopefully everybody's going to be doing is you're collecting information. | |
| You're collecting, not only are you learning and gathering skills, but then you'll be, you know, I love the AI that you've got going on over there and that you've developed, Enoch, and starting to use that too. | |
| I'm really a big fan of having something locally in case, well, not in KS1. | |
| 10%. | |
| Well, yeah. | |
| And I'll mention that what's happening with AI is that you'll be able to run a local AI engine on moderate hardware. | |
| You won't even need a GPU. | |
| I've even seen some new GitHub repos that are all about this. | |
| And they will use your local documents as a reference layer. | |
| So the important thing is to gather all these books, gather all this knowledge, have it stored locally. | |
| And then pretty soon, this year for sure, you'll be able to install a local AI engine that uses all of that so you can ask it any question out of all those books. | |
| The key thing to remember with all these AIs, and I think people don't really understand this, is it's only as good as the information that you put in it. | |
| So coders, you know, garbage in, garbage out. | |
| And, you know, talk to ChatGPT or Grok and, you know, garbage in, garbage out. | |
| So you really want to be gathering information. | |
| I also, one of the things with the wartime home front thing is there's a lot of videos, and these are real, legitimate people that have been doing this for decades. | |
| And I find, you know, watching a video of somebody doing something that's really, really, really powerful and somehow enables me in a much greater way. | |
| So in addition to all the PDFs and all the information that I'm stacking and storing, I do really like that the video presentations. | |
| 100%. | |
| That's why your course is so crucial here because it's teaching people the actual how-to skills. | |
| I want to remind people again, brightyou.com, if you want to register for that. | |
| And I've got so many more questions for you, but I wanted to bring this up and show you this. | |
| Have you ever heard? | |
| I mean, this is brand new, actually. | |
| It's called Lean L-E-A-N-N. | |
| This is a GitHub repo from a contributor here named Y Chuang Wang. | |
| Okay. | |
| So what this does is it has a 97% reduction of storage space with zero accuracy loss for reference information for local AI. | |
| So this just came out, and this is the kind of technology I'm talking about. | |
| Oh my gosh, I'm writing that down. | |
| Yeah, it's it basically it it's a compression. | |
| Here's a here's a graph here. | |
| So you can take 200 gigabytes of traditional vector database knowledge and this compresses it to six gigabytes, which means you can have massive libraries of human knowledge on your laptop or on your desktop computer. | |
| Now, this is still pretty techie to kind of implement, but it's going to get way easier. | |
| I'm just mentioning this because this is the kind of technology that's coming in 2026, where like I'm dealing with massive repositories of human knowledge, hundreds of terabytes, okay, and some of what we're putting into our engines. | |
| But you're going to be able to have massive, massive collections. | |
| Eventually, almost all human knowledge that's ever been published will be accessible on a typical desktop computer. | |
| So that's coming. | |
| And that's a game changer. | |
| And Marjorie, you and I both believe in decentralization of knowledge. | |
| We want to have local control. | |
| It bypasses censorship. | |
| It works even if the grid's down, even if the internet's down, even in World War III, freaking nuclear bombs going off everywhere. | |
| As long as you can boot up a local laptop, you can get all your questions answered. | |
| We're living in really, really incredible times. | |
| And the new things that are coming available are, I believe, it's already, we're in an exponential. | |
| It's hard to even visualize what's going to happen. | |
| And just as we're seeing a complete ramp up in World War III, we're also seeing unbelievable breakthroughs in medicine and healthcare. | |
| Of course, it's not coming from the existing AMA and medical system. | |
| You know, the energetic medicines that are coming out and different things. | |
| So it's an incredibly exciting time to be alive. | |
| There's one thing, though, is you're going to probably still want to eat like at least one or two meals a day. | |
| Right. | |
| Right. | |
| Well, exactly. | |
| So let's get back into your course because food scarcity is going to be such a critical issue here. | |
| And with food inflation, it means that being able to grow your own food is going to be like a gold mine. | |
| I mean, talk about printing your own currency, growing tomatoes, growing okra, growing potatoes. | |
| I mean, that's free mana from heaven almost, really, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's your growing your own food is like printing your own money. | |
| It is. | |
| And as I've said, the calorie, which has, you know, most people are like, oh, I want low calorie. | |
| I don't want no calorie. | |
| Like the calorie is going to become a unit of currency. | |
| It always does in every single collapse scenario, even if it's just a short-term thing. | |
| I mean, most people only have three or four days worth of food in their pantry. | |
| And if an emergency goes past a week, you see people like getting hungry and getting agitated. | |
| So, you know, what we're talking about is much, much more massive than that and much longer duration. | |
| I really enjoy following David Dubine, who's a frequent contributor to Brighteon there. | |
| I know that you interview him regularly. | |
| If you really want to get into it. | |
| He's coming back on soon. | |
| Yeah. | |
| If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of the, and it's a combination, if you watch David, it's a combination of natural cycles with weather problems and issues, you know, drought or flooding, destroying crops, and then governmental intentional intervention to destroy and reduce production. | |
| We're in it. | |
| We're there. | |
| And, you know, there's no doubt that we will have almost any, almost everybody you interview is talking about this, that food is going to become very, very difficult to obtain. | |
| And I would say don't wait for that because it's already the food that's out there in the commercial system is toxic anyway. | |
| So growing your own food, it's just, I say the process of growing food is more beneficial to your health than eating the high quality products, you know, getting out the basics, you know, sunlight, fresh air, getting away from, I don't know where my phone is right now, getting away from your phone, you know, getting outside barefoot on the grass. | |
| These are the basics of health. | |
| And, you know, growing your own food, just a half an hour a day, you will notice a tremendous difference even before you produce your first tomato. | |
| Okay, so I'm updating the chart here. | |
| Instead of eat real food, it's going to say grow real food right here. | |
| Grow real food. | |
| And then, you know, we'll put a line or something through eat. | |
| I mean, yeah, you should eat it too, but mostly you should grow real food. | |
| Okay, I want to show you something else, Marjorie, because this is how they're going to control this. | |
| This is very interesting. | |
| So Tether has launched a gold stable coin called XAUT. | |
| And the gold stable coin is priced according to gold, which is better than having a stablecoin price in dollars because dollars are not stable and they're collapsing. | |
| So Tether, which has ties to the Trump administration, ties to all the big banks, they buy treasuries, et cetera, right? | |
| So they're a protected financial infrastructure player. | |
| They've launched the, what's that? | |
| Extremely corrupt. | |
| Yeah, go ahead. | |
| Well, yeah, so that's another podcast. | |
| But XAUT, it's a digital token backed by physical gold. | |
| This is why Tether's been buying gold. | |
| So what they're going to say here next is they're going to pitch it and say, oh, everybody, you should start paying for your groceries with gold. | |
| And the government's going to support it. | |
| And the whole financial infrastructure, JP Morgan, all the banks and everything will support it because it's a tracked transaction. | |
| It's not private. | |
| It's going to, you know, this is on the Ethereum blockchain, by the way. | |
| So they're going to be able to see everything. | |
| And then they're going to be able to put in purchase quotas. | |
| Like, oh, you've had, you bought your chicken for the week. | |
| That's it. | |
| Good luck. | |
| This is how it happens. | |
| It's a stepping stone to a CBDC. | |
| Yeah, that's why your own backyard food production, they have no idea. | |
| You know, Lynette Zhang, who I really appreciate, and she's her area of expertise is she studies the life cycles of currencies and currencies have life cycles. | |
| The U.S. dollar is way past being on life support. | |
| Like it died in 2008, actually. | |
| And she says, what usually happens is governments will make three different offers to the people as you're going through this inflationary experience, and all of them will be rejected. | |
| And I wouldn't be surprised if the tether backed by gold was one of those options that they try to give people and people completely reject. | |
| Well, tell us more about that. | |
| You're saying the establishment makes three offers to the population to escape with a lifeboat here? | |
| Or what are you saying? | |
| Well, yeah, you know, like as prices go higher and higher, then they'll say, okay, overnight, like let's say you have $1,000 in your bank account. | |
| They'll come out with a new U.S. dollar that one new U.S. dollar is equal to $1,000 of the old ones. | |
| And overnight, they completely revalued your bank account. | |
| So if you had $1,000 in there, now it's one of the new dollars. | |
| And that happens. | |
| But that doesn't stop the inflation. | |
| And people, you know, basically begin to reject that. | |
| They try a whole bunch of other stuff. | |
| And now that they've got these CBDCs and these things like the Tether, gold back tether, they're going to try those type of things. | |
| I believe they'll all be rejected by the people also. | |
| And you should never trust these people. | |
| Like SLV, right? | |
| The ETF that I can't believe that JP Morgan is the custodian of it, right? | |
| Oh, that is hilarious. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| They got fined $980 million. | |
| The largest fine for manipulating precious metals markets is in charge of SLV. | |
| And for people who don't know what SLV is, it's an exchange traded fund on the stock market. | |
| And the idea is if you buy one share of SLV for whatever the price is, they'll buy one ounce of silver. | |
| And so whatever the price of silver is, is approximately the price of one share of SLV. | |
| And JP Morgan just announced last week, so there should be, you know, there's like 508 outstanding shares of SLB. | |
| There should be 508 million ounces of silver somewhere in a vault, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| And JP Morgan just announced, I think they actually only have like 180 ounces. | |
|
Costly Accounting Mysteries
00:03:34
|
|
| They're like, oops. | |
| So massive rehypothecation. | |
| You know, so what do you think is going to be going on with this tether and the gold? | |
| Like, would you trust Tether for? | |
| I mean, you know. | |
| Well, Tether can't even do accounting of their treasuries properly. | |
| Exactly. | |
| It has been cost so much. | |
| Like there's no accurate accounting of what they've been doing. | |
| No, it's like it's like ghost accounting. | |
| It's like, trust us. | |
| Here, we had somebody in the Cayman Islands put their name on some letterhead that says we have that money. | |
| So trust us. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Cause all the best honest accountants work out of the Cayman Islands. | |
| Didn't you know that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Right. | |
| Just such crazy time. | |
| You know, gold, physical silver in your hand. | |
| You know, I actually, I feel somewhat exonerated now. | |
| It actually feels pretty good because for 20 more years I've been talking to people. | |
| Silver is an incredible investment. | |
| You know, I was buying it when it was $5 an ounce and I can't tell you how many family and friends are like rolling their eyes. | |
| Oh, you can speak, you know, whatever. | |
| And now that the price is going up, they're like, oh, oh, my gosh. | |
| That only took 20-something years. | |
| But it's funny because I have a friend who just got back in touch with me. | |
| And 10 years ago, They actually listened to me and they bought a bunch of junk silver, but they didn't know anything about it. | |
| So they were getting back in touch with me to ask me how much is it worth. | |
| And this was just last week. | |
| And so they told me how much junk silver they had. | |
| I, you know, I did the math and I told them your junk silver is worth $311,000. | |
| And they said, what? | |
| Like, yeah, you, you picked up a few bags, you know, good job. | |
| And now you should make sure you hold on to that. | |
| Yeah, don't sell that because we are just getting ready to go on that ride. | |
| You know, that's that's, I mean, silver really is so much more precious than gold. | |
| There's so much more gold on the planet, even than what's been inventoried. | |
| And there's so little silver. | |
| Like, I, you know, really. | |
| Yeah, you don't want to give up physical silver right now. | |
| That's for sure. | |
| Okay. | |
| And that's the other basic thing is you want something that's tangible and real. | |
| Like we're in such a fake world. | |
| So silver, you know, tools, you know, even screws and nuts and bolts. | |
| You know, when you're at a thrift shop or you're at a garage sale and, you know, some guy's selling his ex-wife or the widow is selling all the tools, you know, pick that stuff up. | |
| And then, of course, being able to grow food, it's, you know, it's going to cost a lot of money to be able to eat very soon. | |
| There's this one unbelievably tragic story from Weimer, Germany, is this elderly man withdrew all the money in his pension, which was like 122,000 marks, and he bought a sandwich, which has cost 122,000 marks, which was his entire life savings, ate the sandwich, and then shot himself in the head because he had nothing left. | |
| Don't get caught up in that kind of behavior. | |
|
Food Preservation Techniques
00:03:46
|
|
| There is a lot you can do, right? | |
| And yes, to buying some physical silvers, and I'm just saying that because it's a wonderful example of being correct on what's going on and seeing the major trends. | |
| And food is going to be another major trend. | |
| What about preservation of the food? | |
| Because, and back to your course, again, Wartime Homefront Essential Skills begins streaming January 31st, but you can register before that at brightu.com. | |
| But here's the thing: you know, not everybody lives in a place where you can grow year-round. | |
| So do you also teach preservation strategies? | |
| Yes, that's absolutely a part of it. | |
| So we have the how to grow half. | |
| We have the food preservation. | |
| We have a whole section on foraging, which is free food. | |
| There's a lot of actually really good free food out there. | |
| A bit on home medicine, especially treating like 12 common ailments with herbs, which is a great way to get started. | |
| Start with the small issues that come up in your family. | |
| How to find like-minded neighbors and build self-reliant community very simply and very easily. | |
| I've done it several times in my life. | |
| How to build soil because your nutrition comes from the ground. | |
| And so how do you make sure that your plants and your animals are getting the deep nutrition? | |
| How do you have soil that's really, really healthy? | |
| A property purchase checklist. | |
| So if you haven't found a place, this will help guide you on what to look for, what's important. | |
| I have an interview with Dr. Kaifu Lee, who is one of the world's leading experts in artificial intelligence. | |
| And we talk about AI and the impact on backyard food production as well as food production in general with AI. | |
| Let's see, growing tomatoes because everybody loves growing tomatoes. | |
| And then, of course, we've got a whole bunch of e-books in there. | |
| And then we have all those survival manuals. | |
| And you're tossing in some books from the bright, from the AI book generation. | |
| So it's going to be a massive support library. | |
| And I'd like to point out, Mike, I lived in Texas for more than 20 years and I absolutely am good with a gun, a rifle, shotgun. | |
| I learned, I practice, I take lots of courses regularly, keep those skills updated. | |
| But I'm about the home front. | |
| I'm about, and it's important for everybody to have defense skills. | |
| I really think that's essential. | |
| Even women and children, my kids, when they were kids, when they were little, they knew how to handle a gun. | |
| They knew how to clean a gun. | |
| They knew gun safety. | |
| But this is about the home front. | |
| Like, what do the women and children do? | |
| And the home front is about food. | |
| You know, it's about making sure that everybody's stomach is full. | |
| It's about taking care of, you know, oops, he slipped with the axe and cut his leg open. | |
| How do you do that when there are no doctors? | |
| You know, it's about community and building a community, having like-minded people that you can for the little things, like celebrating birthdays. | |
| You know, I mean, it's the little things in life that really, really make a life delightful. | |
| We're in this big event called the apocalypse or World War III or, you know, collapse or whatever you want to call it. | |
| But it's still the small things which come from community. | |
| So how to build community. | |
| So that's what the home front part of the wartime home front skills is all about. | |
| I'm a woman. | |
| I'm a female. | |
| I grew up in the South and was big into sports and we would always travel everywhere. | |
|
Currency Collapse Challenges
00:06:40
|
|
| And my coach was a Civil War buff. | |
| And so we'd always be stopping at this battlefield and that battlefield and talking about Civil War battles. | |
| But I always said, well, but what were the women and children doing? | |
| It was always something I wanted to know because they certainly underwent incredible hardships. | |
| And so this is a resource that's been created for the women and children. | |
| How do you take care of your family on a day-to-day basis and keep things meaningful and happy and warm and safe within your home? | |
| So that's why this is the wartime home front essential skills. | |
| That makes perfect sense. | |
| And it actually reminds me of a question I wanted to ask you, which is about, you know, the currency collapse that we both believe is coming. | |
| Isn't it difficult to imagine how the United States of America as it exists today remains fully intact following a currency collapse? | |
| I don't see how we don't have a massive rapid decentralization of power away from Washington, D.C., the Treasury, the Fed, et cetera. | |
| I mean, what do you see, though? | |
| I'm curious. | |
| I agree because, I mean, here I live in Puerto Rico and, you know, I talk to people that have survived Hurricane Maria. | |
| And here where I live in Western Puerto Rico, there was no power for six months. | |
| And, you know, you couldn't go to the gas station. | |
| No credit cards work. | |
| No banks work. | |
| There was no, you know, there was no transactions like that that are possible. | |
| The only thing I can hope for is that this currency collapse has been well known. | |
| Since the Federal Reserve was created, they knew that this would be the strategy is to create as many dollars as possible to buy the stuff, build the roads, build the bridges, do the whole thing, inflate the currency to infinity, but create and gather as much resources as possible. | |
| And I'm hoping that they do have some other plan in place, especially now that we have digital currencies with accountability, not the Tether Goldback thing, but real currencies that we can work with. | |
| I can only hope that some of those systems will come online. | |
| And in the interim, it's going to be very, very, very, very difficult. | |
| It's going to be extraordinarily difficult. | |
| I just don't know what people are going to do in the big cities when there's no food or when their cell phone doesn't work. | |
| Like, oh my God, what was it? | |
| Spain a little while ago, and the cell system went down for like a couple of days. | |
| Did you know that right now in Berlin, big parts of the city have no power for many days now? | |
| There was some kind of sabotage attack, I think, on the power grid there. | |
| So, not a good time to not have power in Berlin in the middle of the winter, right? | |
| Yeah, people can get cold very quickly. | |
| But to your point, I don't see how many city dwellers even survive a financial collapse event because they don't have the skills that you teach, period. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, if you're in a city right now and people say, What can I do? | |
| How can I grow food in the city? | |
| I say, get out of the city, you know, a small town somewhere, anywhere, you know, do the best you can. | |
| I just don't know, Mike. | |
| I mean, it's been, they've been delaying this and delaying this and pushing it off and pushing it off. | |
| And it's been getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. | |
| And when it happens, I just can't see it being easy or gradual. | |
| You know, we are seeing chinks all the time, just like what you're talking about: Berlin down for a couple of days, or, you know, this water thing busted, or this bridge destroyed, or this broken. | |
| I mean, there's been all kinds of small things happening everywhere. | |
| But at some point, we're going to get into that currency collapse. | |
| And the banking system, you know, actually, silver is the Achilles' heel to the banking system. | |
| For years, most of us have been watching silver have said when the price of silver gets too high, it's going to destroy the banking system. | |
| So, you know, when is that going to happen? | |
| 2026 is in the cards to being a hugely, hugely disruptive year. | |
| The Deagle report, I don't, and don't know how much you've talked about that. | |
| The Deagle Group is a CIA-backed military think tank. | |
| And for years, they had these projections of population. | |
| And they talked about they used to have a whole Excel spreadsheet of different countries and what the projected population was. | |
| And they saw that the United States population would decline by like some outrageous amount, 60% or something like that. | |
| Yeah, no, I remember the report. | |
| And I think they said the U.S. population would decline to 99 million people. | |
| Yeah, right. | |
| So one of them you want to watch, they always have these numbers. | |
| That's an interesting number that they use there, 99. | |
| And if I recall, the timeframe for that was 2025. | |
| And I was kind of like, got through that, right? | |
| You know, I'm wondering if 2026 is that year as a currency collapse. | |
| Yeah, I don't know, Mike. | |
| I agree. | |
| Sometimes some things are just too horrible to even try and comprehend. | |
| And you just have to do the best you can to prepare for yourself and your family and your neighborhood and realize that massive, massive changes are going on globally. | |
| And it's actually, it's a massive, the fight, and I've heard you talk about this a lot. | |
| And I agree with you. | |
| It's actually at the deepest levels, or maybe the highest level, it's a spiritual war of good versus evil. | |
| And at some point, and I think many of us have already decided which side we're on, we're going to put it to the test. | |
| Yeah, we're going to be put to the test. | |
| So let me remind our viewers here, the course is called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills, and it begins streaming January 31st at brightyou.com. | |
|
Universal Basic Ignorance
00:06:28
|
|
| Now, in a recent interview, Elon Musk said that we're going to have a universal basic income. | |
| Everybody's going to be given enough money to live comfortably. | |
| Some people, sort of the AI optimists, they call it a universal high income. | |
| But I say we already have a UBI, and that's universal basic ignorance. | |
| And because it's universal, like everybody's ignorant of how to grow their own food and even what is food. | |
| That's why the government had to tell Americans, eat real food, because they're eating synthetic garbage crap all day long, which tells you something about the collapse of the Western man. | |
| You know, I mean, if you have to be told to stop eating fake garbage, there's something wrong with you. | |
| I mean, I don't know. | |
| This is not politically correct to say this, but we have universal basic ignorance. | |
| And that does not bode well for the survival of those people. | |
| That's why I advocate your course. | |
| If you want to live through this, you better get these skills. | |
| No other way to put it. | |
| I'm going to quote you on that, Mike. | |
| I love that. | |
| Universal basic ignorance. | |
| And if you're expecting the government to give you money to help you through this, you are seriously misguided. | |
| She had delusional. | |
| Or big tech or whatever. | |
| Really, you expect them to give you something for free? | |
| That sounds like a rhetoric from a group I don't really want to be involved with. | |
| I guarantee you, if you do get involved with it, it's going to come with some strings. | |
| So yeah, you don't want to get involved with that at all. | |
| In fact, I'm doing everything I can. | |
| And as much as I teach people is to just get out of those systems as much as possible, physical silver and saving nickels, saving your change, growing your own food, starting to deal with people directly in the private. | |
| I want maybe a massage or whatever. | |
| I'm going to pay you in cash for that. | |
| I buy most of my food from, if I don't grow it myself, from farmers, I pay them directly. | |
| Buying more and more services within my community directly. | |
| I get all my computers off of Microsoft and Apple. | |
| I'm operating Linux. | |
| I'm working with D-Google phones. | |
| Everything you can do to distance yourself from those systems is really, really, really important. | |
| And food, I think, is, well, that's why I've, gosh, Mike, having a business teaching people to grow food has not been nowhere near as lucrative as what I was doing before. | |
| It's the primary thing. | |
| It is the most important thing, which is why I was given the directions to do that. | |
| So I spent a long time really dialing this in on what's the easiest and fastest and funnest way to do that. | |
| And that, please, if you, when you watch the whole thing, it's free, but I really recommend you at least watch that one on how to grow half of your own food, which is, I believe, the first presentation we're going to have up for free in the wartime home front essential skills program. | |
| And, you know, then we'll have all the rest of food preservation and how to build communities. | |
| So it's just a, and I like to have a lot of fun with stuff. | |
| You know, we don't, it's not like. | |
| We do. | |
| You and I always have a great time, even though we're talking about the apocalypse. | |
| But, you know, you came from the world of finance and our culture has been so focused on things like FOMO, fear of missing out of the next rally of the next NVIDIA stock or whatever. | |
| And I would add two thoughts to that. | |
| First of all, you should be more concerned about FOSO, fear of starving out. | |
| So go from FOMO to FOSO and then tell the FOMO MOFOS in the finance industry that their stuff is not important anymore. | |
| The FOMO MOFOS are going to starve and they're going to then have FOSO, but it'll be too late for them. | |
| So you can be the advanced FOSO leader. | |
| Lyrics for another rap song there, Mike. | |
| I know, yeah, for sure. | |
| But, you know, this is the truth. | |
| What matters? | |
| We live in this world of artificial financialization of everything and none of that's going to matter at the end of the day. | |
| What's going to matter is, do you have enough food to survive? | |
| And are you able to protect it? | |
| Do you have the knowledge to preserve it? | |
| And that's what your course teaches. | |
| So again, it's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills. | |
| It's at brightu.com. | |
| You can register now and begin watching it on January 31st. | |
| Marjorie, we are out of time. | |
| I can't believe it. | |
