Michael Yon alleges Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is dead or hiding, citing fake "proof of life" videos with date inconsistencies. He argues the Strait of Hormuz closure has engineered a global famine threatening India and Pakistan to force digital currency adoption, driven by Zionist infiltration via AIPAC seeking Armageddon. Predicting years of conflict disrupting helium and fertilizer supplies, Yon warns of epidemic typhus outbreaks and authoritarian lockdowns as part of a broader agenda to reduce human population alongside rising AI dominance, urging listeners to stock potassium iodide and freeze-dried food from healthrangerstore.com.

The Iranian leadership, they're walking around, despite taking heavy casualties already.
They're out in the streets doing leadership stuff.
Where's Netanyahu?
The fact that it's even a question is a massive red flag.
There should be no question about it that he's still alive, if he's still alive.
There is some cover-up.
The question is, are they covering up because he's dead, wounded, hiding for political reasons or whatever.
Whatever is happening, he's not doing the leadership thing right now.
All right.
Welcome, everyone, to this late Sunday night interview with Michael Yan, who's joining us, I believe, from Japan at the moment.
Welcome, Michael.
Good to see you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm rearranging this computer here.
You know, actually, I'm back in Japan.
Very interesting things going on here, as you can imagine.
I'm sure you're seeing what's going on in the Middle East, and it's affecting everywhere already.
Like in Thailand, where we, when we left Denmark recently, we flew straight to Thailand.
We carefully avoided Qatar and Dubai because of, well, you can see what's happening, but we came just before the war started.
We anticipated the war would start, so we left Denmark and we went to Thailand because keep in mind, Thailand, we thought, would be severely affected by any war, and it is.
Thailand is getting hit hard right now.
You can see already fuel prices are shooting through the roof.
Now, Thailand, as you know, always is known for its food security, but in fact, it's not.
I mean, I've studied that quite a lot.
I used to have an office in Chiang Mai, and I've mentioned to you before that several years ago, I flew in to see ex-Prime Minister Abhiset warning that Thailand actually could be put into famine and the neighbors could be put into famine if there were severe interruption of fertilizer supplies.
You and I have talked about that.
I don't even know how many times.
So I'll save that.
But I think what's on a lot of people's mind now is where's Netanyahu?
Right.
Yeah.
Well, that's one of the things I want to ask you about.
Let me explain to the audience that I'm not on video today because I'm not in my studio.
But thank you, Michael, for making your time available in your studio.
I just want to, let me just give a table of contents here.
I want to ask you about where is Netanyahu?
Of course, lots of rumors, lots of alleged maybe fake AI videos, maybe real videos.
Who knows?
Let's talk about where's Netanyahu.
Secondly, I want to talk about this Marine.
What is it?
Is it a battalion that they're going to send that way from Japan, I believe?
So I want to talk about those Marines, 2,500 or so, what they could possibly do that's useful at all.
And then thirdly, I want to talk about the Strait of Hormuz because, Michael, we still have people in America who think the Strait is opened.
They think ships are sailing through it right now.
And the only ships, of course, are Iranian flagships or ships that have been allowed to go to China.
And it's only a couple a day, and that's it.
But people are delusional.
I've never seen people more delusional than they are right now.
So Michael, those are the three topics I want to cover with you here today.
So where do you want to start?
Well, I think we should start with one of the demons.
Where is Netanyahu?
Okay.
And let's start with that.
Yeah.
You know, General Holt, Blaine Holt, been messaging me yesterday, and I saw he was just on a podcast.
People are sending it to me where they were talking about the conversation that Blaine and I had about where's Netanyahu.
And quite a few other people are asking me, where's Netanyahu?
And now, where do I think Netanyahu is?
I don't know.
Now, is he dead?
So most people are debating whether or not he's dead or wounded.
That's not the debate that I'm having with myself.
The debate that I'm having is, is he dead, wounded, hiding because of political reasons?
That's a possibility, but I think that's a low possibility.
Or is he actually, has he been taken?
Is he kidnapped, right?
Now, the idea that he's kidnapped may seem far-flung.
And Blaine Holt and others who've been asking me about it over the weekend, at first, you know, they say, that's, I don't know why or how anybody would do that.
But then they watch the video that I put on Substack, which is pinned at the top right now.
And they're believers immediately after they see the video.
So if you go to Substack and you look at my video, you'll see my fact patient pattern that I lay out from my own experiences in the wars and whatnot.
As an example, people like high-value targets.
If you can't capture them, you kill them.
But if you can capture them, you definitely want to capture them, the high-value targets, because they, I mean, somebody like anyway, Netanyahu or an al-Qaeda leader or something along those lines, you would want to capture them because there's so much in their head that you would want out.
And, you know, it could take a long time to get that out.
So ideally, you would want to capture them in a deniable way that it looks like they're dead or something, right?
I'll give you an example.
In Iraq, in what was it, 2006, I think, somewhere around there, maybe seven, the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq was allegedly Zarqawi, right?
A Jordanian.
And Zarqawi, he was, you know, supposedly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, so that we would have a specific boogeyman to chase.
Then one day he was, he was, you know, somehow our intelligence figured out where he was.
And apparently, he was near Bakuba, a place where I've spent much time.
Actually, I wasn't there on this day, though.
But so what I was told that our forces did was they dropped two small bombs near him.
I mean, I don't know how small they were.
They're probably like 500 pounders or something, but the intent was not to kill him.
The intent was to stun and, you know, knock out his periphery and then swoop in with ground forces and pick him up.
Now, a medic on the scene told me that Zarqawi died on the scene.
But the idea was to bam, bam, and then go in and try to get him, you know, flopping around.
You know, Green Berets that had served in Vietnam would sometimes tell how they would capture prisoners.
They would put C4 ambushes with not claymores, but just plastic explosives or TNT, whatever they had available.
And they would put that, you know, close enough to the path where they were trying to stun people.
They would use it like a stun grenade, how you catch fish, right?
And, you know, tack off the explosives, hopefully not close enough to kill everybody.
But, you know, like one retired Green Beret told me one time, we would tack off the C4 and then hopefully there'd be some flopping around there and we'd go pick them up and take them back and interrogate them, right?
So capturing one day, you know, let's talk about a unit that I was with in Iraq, in Mosul, right?
The Deuce 4, the most incredible infantry unit, 124th Infantry Battalion.
They were unbelievable.
In fact, they were the most decorated unit in the Iraq war.
In any case, the 124th, one day they got a SIGINT hit signals intelligence that, you know, basically one of the insurgent leaders, his telephone was in a mosque.
So it must have been a Friday.
And I was not on this mission.
They told me about it.
So the SIGINT hit was in a mosque.
So the guys showed up with their striker fighting vehicles.
The unit was a striker unit.
124th was a striker unit.
And so they showed up.
And if anybody was on the mission, they can message in and fill in some blanks because I've heard the story many times from them.
But they came in, they blocked off near the mosque, right?
And when the people came out of the mosque after prayers, our guys have gear that can, you know, you can get the phones from the sky.
You can get them from many different ways.
But there's also mobile gear, right?
So when the Al-Qaeda, when the people were coming out of the mosque, when the guy with the phone walked past our guys, they just like, that's him, bam.
And they pulled him around a corner.
Nobody saw it happen, broad daylight.
Nobody saw it happen, threw him in the back of a striker vehicle, which has a ramp, you know, like the ramps that fall down, especially you're on strikers.
And so ramp goes up, hood over the head, got him.
And so nobody, none of the Iraqis even knew our guys got him.
This is normal.
Like often I was on missions that I was actually on when we would catch people off in Al-Qaeda.
And the commander would often ask me, don't publish anything about this until we're, you know, we're cleared hot.
And the reason why is because you can get these guys, you get their phones, you get whatever, and you can exploit information that you get from them and capture more fish, right?
So basically, you're immediately exploiting this guy, anything that's caught on him, and you're catching more people.
And then, you know, a couple of days later, they'd say, yeah, yeah, maybe we got him, maybe we didn't.
Eventually they would say that they got him.
But now often in real deep special operations, you're going to try to look like somebody got killed or he just vanished, right?
You may never, ever know that somebody picked him up.
I mean, because for instance like this, go ahead, sir.
Well, but who would have domestic access to him in Israel?
Are you talking about like an anti-Netanyahu faction of Israelis would be able to do this domestically?
Because it seems unlikely that Iranian operatives would have that much capability inside Israel.
Well, if Iranians pulled that off, that would be amazingly impressive.
But the Israelis and let's say the Zionists are famous for killing each other, right?
Like Yetzak Rabin, prime minister killed, right?
So, I mean, by other Zionists, right?
Zionists kill each other all the time.
They hate each other.
I mean, they call for, they're unbelievably savage, right?
So the idea that it would be an inside attack is like, you know, flip a coin.
It's not, it's not a vague possibility.
It's a high possibility, right?
And so now imagine it would be easy to capture.
It would be quite easy.
It's just like hood over the head, boom, you're gone.
I mean, 10 seconds and, you know, you could have an explosion go off nearby, act like he got blown up, act like he got killed, pretend like maybe he did this, that, or the other.
But in reality, he's gone somewhere.
He's either somewhere in Israel in a dungeon or he's been flown out of the country.
And right now, if that, where's his son?
Yair in Florida.
He's always putting things on his Twitter.
He's a Playboy down in Florida.
What is he?
34 years old or so doing the Playboy thing.
He's not in the IDF.
So in any case, he seems to have vanished, right?
And other people in Netanyahu's ecosystem vanished.
Now, keep in mind, when you're doing hardcore special operations, you'll try to get as much of their ecosystem at one time as possible, right?
Let's say they picked up numerous people now and they're exploiting them.
We may never see them again, right?
You know, you look at this, another AI.
I put that video up, what, yesterday or so?
And, you know, it's spreading around quite fast right now because people- Is that the cafe video or the other one?
The first one.
No, the video of Netanyahu in the cafe, his guys put that up before I went to bed last night.
Just as I was going to bed, Netanyahu's account put that up.
Now, the cafe, the centurions, who you know, the young men in Texas and Al Johnson have been analyzing that cafe video this morning.
They're probably up late tonight.
They're looking at it.
For instance, you can see there's a flash on the screen, like the cash register screen.
It's got the date 2024.
I mean, the latest video that they put up as proof of life in and of itself looks fake.
We're talking about, you know, that video with the six fingers and all that, obviously fake.
Now, they just put up another video just hours ago.
I went to bed, woke up, and now, you know, the centurions that you know in Texas and Al Johnson are analyzing it together, and they're finding problems with the video.
Like one of the young men, I think he's 18 or 19, he just said just before you and I came on.
He said that, you know, when allegedly Netanyahu takes a drink out of the cup, there's no, it doesn't seem to reduce the amount of coffee in the cup, just little things like that.
But the receipt date is wrong or on the cash register, you know, as they scan by at one point, it says 2024.
And obviously, this ain't 2024.
Yeah, but it looks, I mean, there are allegations that that was altered by somebody.
And then there are explanations that there's foam on top of the coffee.
And that's why, you know, the foam didn't spill over the edge of the coffee because that was foam, you know, like a latte.
For every suspicious thing, there's also some counter explanation.
But the truth is, Michael.
What about the 2024?
That's a little bit suspicious.
Well, no, but there's an allegation that somebody swapped a date and put out a 2024 date image.
But anyway, I think the bottom line is AI is so damn good right now that truly it can fake anything.
And so why, you know, why wasn't Netanyahu at the official military meeting yesterday?
You know, that's my question because he's normally there.
I don't, I don't recall the name of it, but just showing up in a coffee shop that he also did visit in 2024, that doesn't convince anybody, you know?
The fact that there's anybody, any question at all about this is over the top, right?
The Iranian leadership, they're walking around, despite taking heavy casualties already, they're out in the streets doing leadership stuff.
Where's Netanyahu?
The fact that it's even a question is a massive red flag.
There should be no question about it that he's still alive, if he's still alive.
There is some cover-up.
The question is, are they covering up because he's dead, wounded, hiding for political reasons or whatever?
Whatever is happening, he's not doing the leadership thing right now.
And he's calling into questions.
Israel, as you know, is a perpetual lying machine anyway.
It's like a neutron star of lying.
And so, well, let's see.
Global Food Blockades00:11:03
At the end of the day, though, the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
And it's something that you and I have talked about for how many years now?
Four, five?
I don't even know.
I mean, what happens when the Strait of Hormuz gets closed?
Well, here we are.
Yeah, I know.
See, this is interesting because I think many people only learned about the Strait of Hormuz from you.
You know, you are the one who's been championing the discussion about routes and resources for years.
And you and I have talked about the Strait of Hormuz many, many times, but it was always just dismissed.
Oh, that'll never happen.
That's just, that's just, you know, doom and gloom.
It'll never happen.
Because if that happened, it would destroy the whole world's economy.
Well, guess what, folks?
Hello.
Hello.
You know, like Nord Stream would never be destroyed.
That would destroy the German economy.
I'm like, hello.
Guess what?
And Groening and Gasfield would never be closed because it's the biggest gas field in Europe.
McFly, Strait of Hormuz would never be closed because it would cause famine.
And that's why I'm like four years ago, I flew from London or Ireland or someplace, and I met with the old prime minister of Thailand, Ab Hissett, Mark Abhissett.
I wrote the last two pages in his book.
The name of the book is The Simple Truth.
That's my title, actually.
So I know him, right?
So I called him up from London or Ireland or someplace.
And I said, hey, Mark, can I fly into Bangkok and see you?
And this was several years ago, three or four years ago.
And I warned, I said, you know, Thailand could be put into, well, first of all, if the Turkish Straits, the Strait of Hormuz, or the Suez, if, you know, especially if all three of these get shut, you're going into famine, right?
But if one of them gets shut, it's a big, big deal.
First of all, Strait of Hormuz being shut just itself could you could end up with, for instance, Pakistan and India going into famine right now, Bangladesh as well.
Now, I've looked at the route from, I spent almost a year in India, but I've looked at the route.
I went to Bangladesh, spent numerous times in Myanmar.
The route from India over to Thailand, straight shot highways.
There's no dairying gap between you.
And I warned Mark, you know, the former prime minister.
He just ran again for prime minister, but he didn't make it this time.
But I warned him, you know, that if this happens, you could end up seeing famine in Pakistan and India, not to mention Bangladesh, and they're going to flood straight to Thailand.
Now, right now in Thailand, the things that I warned about so many times, you know, I just took Misako and another of my Thai teammates up the Chopra River about four months ago.
The Chaprea River is the one that goes through Bangkok, right?
That's the main artery for rice leaving Thailand.
That's, you know, I took them way up there to a Udia in a boat that we rented.
And I'm like, see these rice facilities?
If places like Strait of Hormuz get closed, these things could be empty next year.
Now, keep in mind, as you know, famines, there's different types of famines.
I've studied famine quite a lot.
There's different types.
There's famines, I call them light switch famines.
Those are famines that just like, boom, something happens and the famine's on, like a volcanic eruption.
That's one of the reasons, like, you know, Japan sometimes has famine due to volcanic eruption, right?
So volcanic eruption, locusts come in, war, that sort of thing.
Then there's another type of famine that kind of creeps up on you.
That's a slow famine.
And those slow famines, often, often the second, third, fourth season, those will be by far the worst.
Like we're going into a slow one at this point.
And those tend to be the worst.
The slow famines are the ones, for instance, if the Turkish Strait gets closed, which I expect it probably will be, Panama Canal, these sorts of things, which I've warned about so many.
We were just at the Dana Strait.
If you start to see these things get closed off, Strait of Malacca, then you, I mean, Suez, of course, they are clearly trying to make famine, right?
And now, these is about to be blocked according to the threats from the Houthis.
They're saying they're going to harass ships moving through that narrow channel there, you know, at the Red Sea.
It's a huge deal.
Huge deal.
They can still do a workaround.
They can still do a workaround.
They can still go around Africa.
But it's a big problem.
And then they'll end up blocking that.
They can block that with just a threat.
They can say, hey, there's sea mines around Africa.
They can say there's sea mines in the Med now.
It's just like calling in a bomb threat.
You can say there's sea mines at the Dana Strait, right?
And you can say there's sea mines at the mouth of the Rhine River down there, you know, at Rotterdam and Antwerp and that sort of thing, right?
So you can close these things off basically with a bomb threat, right?
And so like the Strait of Hormuz was basically closed with nothing but, you know, hey, the insurance companies won't cover, you know, at the end of the day, the fertilizer is not flowing.
And the people that work in the Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and whatnot, they've been flooding out.
I've been helping people get.
There's, I mean, they're leaving.
They're gone.
And they're probably not going back, right?
And so the people that, you know, for the people who've spent much time in places like UAE, you know, United Arab Emirates and whatnot, you know that most of the people there are not from there.
They're people either are tourists or they work there doing energy or service and that sort of thing.
And those people obviously are leaving, not to mention that energy infrastructure is being cut.
Now, keep in mind, you don't have to hit desalinization plants if you hit the energy because the desalinization plants need a lot of energy, right?
So, or the workers just leave and then you don't have the energy for that reason.
But at the end of the day, it's clear that the beast is working overtime to create global famines, which create a lot of hop human osmotic pressure, which is why I kept warning about Darien Gap.
I must have made this specific warning 500, 1,000, 2,000 times.
When you get global famine, they're going to come right up the Darien Gap, right?
They've cleared the path now.
They've cleared the highway.
All that infrastructure is still there.
There's not a highway through the Darien, but I mean, they've cleared, made the Darien, Bahamas, all these different routes that people can get to the United States are now the architecture is in place with the IOM and HIAS and Catholic charities and all the Europe as well, not to mention Japan, where I'm at now.
So let me continue this theme of engineered famine because clearly, see, the Trump administration says that they had known this whole time, they had planned this whole time for the contingency of the Strait of Hormuz to be closed.
So they admit that they knew that was going to happen, which means that they knew that it was going to block fertilizer, urea, sulfur, plus energy, gas, and oil.
They knew all this and they did it anyway, knowing that it would cause, let's say, almost one-third of the world's fertilizer to go offline.
Almost, you know, a big portion of the world's sulfur that's used to make nitrogenous fertilizers, a big portion of urea, a big portion of gas that's used for fertilizer, et cetera.
So, Michael, was this all deliberate by the Trump administration, knowing the effects of this?
Clearly.
I mean, obviously, look at the screw worms.
Look at the Turkish Strait.
The Turkish Strait is still open.
Israel is threatening it.
I've been warning about the Turkish Strait for a long time.
If you see the Strait of Hormuz get closed, next up, Suez Canal, Panama Canal, Turkish Strait.
You close the Turkish Strait.
That's another huge deal.
That fertilizer that comes from Ukraine and Russia, a lot of it goes right there through the Bosphorus, right?
It goes right there.
And so that can be cut off at the throat right there at Turkey, right?
Now, that can be done again with sea mines.
You don't have to defeat Turkey.
You just have to say, hey, there's mines out here.
Iran did it, you know, or somebody else did it.
And the next thing you know, the ships are going to stop or a lot of them will stop, especially if you sink a couple of them.
And so this is, they're clearly creating global famine in order to usher in digital currency and the things that you talk about all the time, the AI, you know, to rule the world.
I mean, they can create this famine, massive famine.
And then if you want to eat, you got to pay in digital money.
You got to get your vaccine.
You've got to get it from the food that we supply, right?
You know, like these lab-grown meats or whatever it is, you know.
And so they've been working on this for years.
The idea that Panama, I was talking with a ship pilot the other day about the traffic through Panama Canal right now.
Traffic through Panama Canal maxes out at about 40 ships per day, about 4-0, right?
So they were trying to get 41 in about maybe 10 days ago.
I don't think they succeeded with the 41st.
Didn't have enough tugboats and there was some little problem.
A chain broke loose on a ship or something and floating around.
Anyway, but everything's okay, but 40 is like their max, right?
And so that's a big deal.
Keep in mind, as you know, South America is on the opposite growing season of us because they're south of the equator.
And a lot of food flows through South America through the canal going south north, south north because the Panama Canal is not east-west.
It's actually mostly south-north, north-south.
So the south side of the Panama Canal is the Pacific side.
So that's the west coast of South America, right?
And the north side of the Panama Canal is that's the direction that the ships from the east side of South America come through.
So you got food going both directions.
You got food going to Europe and the United States from the west coast of South America through the south side of the Panama Canal and the inverse, and they're going to the western part of the United States and Canada and they're going to Asia.
So if the Panama Canal gets shut, you're also shutting down significant food going from South America, right?
Obviously a big deal in and of itself.
So all these different choke points are quite easy to shut.
This is not hard.
This is like shutting off a spigot.
And it can be done.
It doesn't need to be shut off for 10 years.
It can be shut off for just a few months.
That's it.
It's game one.
Now keep in mind, these slow famines, it's important to keep this in mind, how these slow famines will build.
The fast famines, again, can happen from like a volcano, that sort of thing, locusts or whatever.
But the slow ones, like we're going into now, you just don't have enough fertilizer.
The energy prices are too high, hyperinflation like Weimar, Germany, those sorts of things, right?
So these sorts of things can lead to a famine.
And then people start stealing from the farmers.
They steal from the warehouses.
They steal from the stores.
They rob their neighbor.
So that causes food to stop flowing, right?
And the farmers stop growing.
So that second season, not 2026 in this case, but 2027, when the farmers aren't actually growing in 2028, that's when you're talking, you know, cannibalism.
I mean, you could have cannibalism by the end of this year in some places.
Stealing From Farmers00:07:23
I don't know.
I don't know how it's going to play out.
Maybe everything will magically open up tomorrow, but I'm not counting on that because that's not what they're trying to do.
The beast is trying to depopulate death jabs.
They're trying to depopulate the earth and control the remnant.
And so that's the clear upper level of what they're trying to do.
So I see all these analysis about how they can get the Strait of Hormuz open by doing whatever.
And I'm like, that's not what the plan is.
The plan is to destroy the Gulf states and to ravage that energy infrastructure to reduce global energy, right?
And to change the routes of where people and the resources locations where people are getting it from.
And I think the Gulf states, most of them will be destroyed in this.
Maybe Saudi Arabia will come out on the other side alive.
I don't know.
We're going to have to wait and see.
All right.
So the big picture here is then, I guess, depopulation, total destruction of the West.
I mean, you know, Trump is obviously everything he says at this point is just a complete lie.
He says we've completely destroyed Iran.
We've totally won.
It's over.
And then the next day, like, well, we have to send in thousands of Marines and, you know, there aren't any ships moving through the strait.
And, you know, the Gulf states there are collapsing.
Like, you know, look at Dubai.
The city is becoming a ghost town.
Everybody with money is leaving now, if they can.
You know, so Trump is just, what is Trump doing?
Is he just appeasing morons who are dumb enough to listen to him anymore?
What's going on?
Does anybody even listen to him anymore?
I mean, I know Magatards.
Yeah, there's still a few.
Yeah, I mean, at this point, we don't have time for those people anymore because there's just, I mean, they're gone.
And I mean, I don't like to write people off.
It just doesn't, I don't like that.
But this is a war and we don't have time to save every starfish, right?
And so it's just it.
It's a triage, right?
And at this point, where are the Marines going to go?
Carg Island, right?
Are they going to do that and be killed?
I mean, if you put the Marines there, they're probably going to get hammered to death, right?
Yeah, they're going to die.
No matter where you land them, they're all going to die.
There's a high chance of that.
And very quickly, right?
They can easily be cut off.
The idea that the Navy can escort people through the Persian Gulf or through the Strait of Hormuz.
Seriously, that's like a rabbit walking past 10 guys with shotguns.
Good luck, Rabbit.
Yeah, right.
Right.
And also, even if you do land these Marines somewhere, anywhere, how are you going to supply them?
How are you going to supply them?
Right?
You're not.
I mean, you're not.
I mean, you're just not going to.
And the initiative has been lost.
As many of us predicted, the United States can be actually forcibly ejected or just strangled out of the Gulf states and Israel can be destroyed.
Now, I know a lot of super Israel, they read it somewhere that Israel can never be destroyed.
Hello.
Yes, they can.
In fact, the Israelis are abandoning ship.
They're in Cyprus.
They're in Patagonia.
They're in Thailand about to get kicked out of Thailand for the stuff a lot of the Israelis are doing.
You may have seen the video coming out of Brazil, Israelis getting arrested, attacking people and that sort of stuff.
I mean, everywhere they go, they're creating enemies, right?
I don't know if you saw the video of the guy in Uganda, you know, afraid of, you know, probably an information op video, but he's, you know, this video has gone viral.
He's saying, you know, he's afraid of the Israelis in Uganda because they might eat people and that sort of stuff.
So, I mean, there's Israel is being destroyed and they don't have a place to go, right?
Other than the United States.
And the United States is being destroyed.
So at the end of the day, are they going to do the Samsung option and start nuking people?
It looks to me, I've been saying this for a long time, they will sacrifice Israel because the Zionists don't care about Israelis.
Now, I know that may sound counterintuitive to people, but for those who've been studying for a long time, it makes perfect sense.
The Zionists don't care at all about Israelis.
They use the Zionist, where's my book on the, I don't know, I put it back on the shelf yesterday.
Oh, here it is.
Yeah.
Here.
51 documents of the Zionist collaboration with the Nazis, right?
I mean, these guys have been working together since day one, right?
They actually, the Zionists were helping to kill Jews to force Jews to go to Israel.
They were trying to, this is a political movement, the Zionists, right?
I think the first person known to be assassinated by Zionists was actually a Dutch Jew in the 1800s.
They've been killing Jews since day one, right?
And obviously a lot of Zionists are Jews, but a lot are not.
A lot are atheists, right?
And so, you know, as we know, the biggest part of the pie chart are Christian Zionists who are below decks rowing the boat for their Zionist leaders who are on top of the deck enjoying the sunshine, or they used to enjoy the sunshine.
But so the Zionists are, they are a transnational architecture, right?
They live everywhere.
They live here in Japan.
They live in the United States.
They live in Panama.
They basically have the most influence in Panama, believe it or not, and have super heavy influence in Argentina.
Maliakovsky, Maliakovsky, Melee in Argentina, he has the same last name as Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's last name used to be Maliakovsky.
They changed it in about 1920 when Maliakovsky's dad named Maliakovsky moved from Poland to Israel.
He was a big-time Zionist, right?
And Maliakovsky's granddad was actually born in Russia and he was a rabbi.
So the grandfather was born in Russia.
The father, Maliakovsky, was born in Warsaw.
Then they moved to Israel, changed their name to Netanyahu.
The current Netanyahu, who may be dead or in a dungeon or something, changed, started using the name Netanyahu.
So, I mean, that's where, you know, he picked up the name that his father started using, right?
So, and again, the guy down in Argentina, Maliakovsky too.
Are they from the same family?
I don't know, but they got the same last name.
One of the biggest cities in the world for Zionists is Buenos Aires, right?
You know, it's amazing when you go down there.
What I'm getting to is they are squirting out of Israel.
Israel, they are abandoning ship.
Israelis I know are gone, right?
One was a former IDF special forces guy.
He left two years ago.
You know, he's gone.
On top of that, the apocalyptic, I don't know, the religious zealots who are thinking that Israel is going to be protected by God.
They're just straight up delusional, just totally delusional.
I mean, they're living in a fantasy land.
And they, you know, you can have all the faith in the world, but if your ideas are stupid, it doesn't matter.
I mean, where's, you know, how come God didn't stop all the missiles from Iran?
You know, if God's going to protect Israel with God's hand, then how come the Iron Dome failed, right?
How come Israel is being turned into Gaza right now?
So that whole belief system is just complete hogwash.
Delusional Religious Zealots00:08:47
Keep in mind on the food issues, too.
Trump is clearly part of the famine issue.
For instance, he wishes to make cannabis legal around America.
What's one of the things that happens when you grow cannabis?
It takes up food production.
You know, productive food farm land is turned into dope land, right?
Now we're doping up more of our people, reducing their population and their IQ and their executive function, right?
While growing dope, getting the munchies on the edge of famine.
That can't possibly turn out well.
Yeah, yeah.
True, true.
Okay.
Let me mention something here that you'll find interesting.
You know how we have our book creation engine at brightlearn.ai?
We have a user there that created a full-length book with nine chapters called Chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz.
Come Open It.
And it's by an author named Shazia M.
And Shazia M created this book.
So it just so happens that, you know, and that book's free for everybody to download.
If you want to download it, it's at books.brightlearn.ai.
But this weekend, I was working on the audiobook generation engine, and I've now created the full audio book of that book, and that's also available for free.
So if anybody listening, if you want to learn about the Strait of Hormuz, you need to get this book and download the audio book or the PDF or both.
It's all completely free.
And Michael, you know, that engine is influenced by all of your interviews that we've ever done.
So that book cites you numerous times.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
What, you know, what's happening with this, you know, good and bad with AI, like everything, everything that can be good can be bad.
Everything that can be bad can be good.
Every medicine is a poison.
Every poison is a medicine.
And I use AI now for research on some things, you know, because you can go through a lot of documents very quickly, but then you have to go down to the source, of course.
Now, keep in mind on the Strait of Hormuz, some of that energy, you know, Saudi Arabia has planned for this for a long time, and they built a pipeline, or they more than one.
So they've got pipelines.
If you see these destroyed, that's another big deal.
You know, that because when you know what the beast is trying to do, then you have a much better chance if your input information is accurate and you keep the mud out as much as possible, then you should be able to make accurate predictions, like that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed, right?
And it was an obvious, it was obvious that that's part of what they want to happen to destroy.
Listen, they're not just closing it.
They're destroying the ability to make the fertilizers anyway, right?
They're destroying another fertilizer plant just burned down in the last day or two, right?
Last few days in the United States, another fertilizer plant just burned down.
Well, where was that one?
On top of that, well, I don't recall where that one was, but I want to add that Iran has threatened to retaliate if Trump attacks the Karg Island.
I'm sure I'm not pronouncing that correctly, but if Trump attacks the oil infrastructure of that island, which so far hasn't been destroyed, then Iran promises to then just directly destroy the energy infrastructure of Qatar and UAE and other states, which so far that energy infrastructure remains intact.
It could be started back up over a period of weeks.
But if both of these are completely destroyed, then we're talking about years of being offline.
Years.
Permanent.
That's what I'm trying to see.
Where was that fertilizer plant that just burned down?
Now, this is important, Michael.
You and I have talked about this many times.
They're not just trying to create a short-term famine.
This is a permanent, or for our intents and purposes, intergenerational reduction of the capacity to grow food, right?
So they're clearly reducing the population in bulk, right?
And so this is not just, this is not a famine that's just going to go away, that's going to go away until the math reaches the nutrition, right?
And in their mind, up until that point, they're probably hoping that they're going to have the digital grid in place and that nobody has learned how to release swarms of drones with thermite on top to burn down their data centers.
As you've seen, you know, people talking about enemy war gaming that could happen to us, you know, thermite on all of our aircraft that the Chinese or whomever could release.
And, you know, with AI and, you know, it's not like the data centers are a done deal.
There's people out there going, they're going to get in the way of this.
Obviously, China and others who also will be controlled by AI and who want to be in control of the AI will eventually attack our AI centers through, and it's simple at this point.
You don't need a billion-dollar attack, you know, with a few million dollars.
You can do billions and billions of dollars worth of destruction.
Or if you hit energy facilities and fertilizer production facilities, you can do trillions of dollars in damage and permanent global population reduction, or at least permanent for the, you know, for the rest of our lives and many generations.
You know, the Irish famine, their population never recovered, even since the 1850s when it ended, right?
Never recovered.
Right, right.
And so in America right now, 60% of households live paycheck to paycheck, which means that they don't have additional marginal discretionary income to start spending on food that goes up 50%, not to mention 100%.
If what you're saying actually comes to pass, and it seems like that's exactly what's going to happen, because I don't know how we come back from the brink of this, then aren't we talking about tens of millions of Americans facing famine and food banks and starvation?
And I mean, this would affect tens of millions of Americans, wouldn't it?
Easily.
And keep in mind that famines have a magical way of spreading just like fires and wars.
And so if you, for those who've studied famine, just read five or six, 10 books about it.
I've read a couple dozen.
When you study famine, you'll see that there are patterns.
And, you know, in 2020, when I started beating the drum that the United States could go into famine, and I mean, so many people kept saying, don't you understand?
Do your homework.
The United States is the world's biggest food producer.
I'm like, trust me, before I open my mouth, I'm talking to the microphone, I've done my homework, right?
And I understand that the United States and Netherlands and all these places are major food exporters, but that doesn't mean anything if you've studied famine.
That means absolutely zero, right?
That's like, and so what?
You're the healthiest guy on the football field.
You think you can't get hit with a bowling ball in the head or you can't catch some disease from a mosquito?
You know, the strongest guy on earth can get malaria, right?
But when it comes to famine, for instance, if you look at Hunan province in China, that was some of the worst famine.
That's a breadbasket of China, right?
You know, look at Ukraine, the Holotomor and whatnot.
I mean, it's like, there's so many books on this.
I mean, you just read until the day, till the day comes.
You know, this is an interesting because the governments can come in and take over the farms.
Yeah.
This is, yeah, this is a fascinating book.
And the Hungry 40s, another fascinating book.
I mean, these things are amazing.
I mean, the famines have certain patterns and that you come from a place where, and do we really have that much food?
We got a lot of monoculture.
We got where somebody controls the seeds.
They can shut off the seeds, right?
You've talked how many times have you talked about this?
You don't use AI to see how many times you've talked about it.
It's probably a thousand or more, right?
I mean, anybody watching your program knows that you're always talking about, they can just cut off the seeds.
So it's not just the fertilizer, it's the fertilizer, it's the seeds, it's the transportation.
Just shut off the Panama Canal.
You can shut off the Panama Canal, shut the Suez, shut the Turkish Strait, shut the Danish Strait, shut the obviously Strait of Hormuz.
You don't even have to shut the Babo Mandab and shut the Strait of Malacca.
You're going to have unbelievable famine in places that normally have had a lot of food.
That's why, again, I was warning the former prime minister of Thailand, and I've warned a lot of Japanese.
I've got somebody coming in today, a team coming in today when we get off the air.
They're coming to, and we're going to discuss this in my study here about, you know, in the past, Japan has been able to get rice from places like Thailand and that sort of thing.
They're not going to be able to get it from Thailand.
Where's Thailand going to get it from?
Shutting The World's Straits00:13:32
Right.
And this is, again, I've been all over Thailand.
I spent a lot of time in Thailand because Thailand is the hyphen in Indo-Pacific security.
Thailand has been historically a rice basket for many countries.
And, but therefore, they imported, or at least some years ago, when I went to talk with Abhisit, they were importing 92% of their nitrogenous fertilizers to Thailand.
And as you know, rice is a vacuum for nitrogen.
I mean, you grow rice and the vacuum is vacuumed up and exported and people eat it and it's gone, right?
And it's been widely reported that Thailand, their shipping vessels are at least half of them are shut down right now because of a lack of diesel.
And, you know, of course, I've got contacts in Taiwan and they're extremely angry in Taiwan at Trump for not only putting the tariffs and punishing Taiwan, but now Taiwan is facing a gas shortage.
It's only got less than two weeks of natural gas left.
And they were, the whole country was convinced to depend on the West.
Like the West will protect you.
Same thing with Japan, right?
Japan was told the same lie.
We will protect you with our military bases.
Well, you know, what has Qatar learned about military bases?
It just makes you a target.
There's zero protection, zero protection from the U.S. That's going to be true for Taiwan, too, unfortunately.
We just took our we're taking our thad missiles out of Korea.
Korea.
Yeah.
Because every we got to defend the magical elves of Israel, who, in my eye, are the greatest threat to the United States is Israel.
Not Israel, Zionist, right?
Trump is a Zionist, right?
That is the greatest threat to the United States.
And not to admit, CCP is a huge threat.
There's no, I've written three books about what?
They're right up here.
I've written three books on CCP information war.
I've been all over China, right?
I've been all over Asia, more than 20 years in Asia.
I'm very well aware of the danger of China.
I've been up to Tibet and all that, looking at this a lot, right?
They are a huge threat.
However, you know, a maximum is the The most dangerous enemy is the one that's closest to you, right?
And, you know, even in basic combat training from when you're like 18 years old learning some basic infantry techniques, which targets do you go for first?
The one closest to you, right?
Obviously, right?
And what Doug Casey said, you know, you've had Doug on your show, I think.
Yeah.
Doug Casey mentioned to me one time, he said, the most dangerous government is the one that's closest to you, right?
And is and the Zionists have completely infiltrated our government.
Look at our AIPAC.
I mean, they basically own Congress.
I had a Zionist threaten me two or three weeks ago to call the secret police about me, DHS, because I said something he didn't like, right?
Because it's like, they're just over the top, you know, and they have no sense of proportion, as one ex-president said of the United States in his written letter.
I think he didn't think it would be ever found.
Was it Truman, right?
And so that's what we've got going on.
We've got these people who are some of the greatest terrorists ever.
These are the guys, the Zionists who killed a lot of Jews to get Jews to go to Israel as a political, the Zionist as a political action.
They've been pushing for war with Iran.
I've been with a lot of Zionists, right?
I've been in a small room with Netanyahu.
I got invited to the Israeli ambassador's residence in the United States.
I would have breakfast and lunch and dinner with some of those big-name Zionists back when I was a big-name war correspondent, right?
I stayed in their homes and that sort of thing.
That was when I started getting dialed in.
Like, who are these people?
You know what I mean?
Why do they all want to go to war with Iran?
I mean, it's constantly war.
The reason that they were courting me is because I had a huge read, had a huge readership back then because I was doing so much combat, right?
So I was dominating the coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's why they were trying to get me to attack Iran.
And I examined the Iran issues so much.
And like the EFPs, the explosively formed projectile IEDs, you know, that were supposedly being used in one of the big ambushes I was in was an EFP ambush.
But as I researched that quite a lot, I was up and down the entire Iraq-Iran border with British troops, Iraqi troops, U.S. troops, and Kurdish troops.
I was all up and down that border asking all the generals and the colonels and everything, are you catching any EFPs coming in from Iran?
And keep in mind, they were making this idea that thousands of U.S. soldiers are being wounded and so many killed from these EFPs, these high-tech EFPs.
I'm like, hey, hey, listen, I went to Special Forces Explosive School.
It was a very interesting school.
And you can learn how to make EFPs in, I don't know, three hours, four hours.
You know what I mean?
All you need is some basic level algebra.
You don't even need any advanced algebra.
You just need like maybe sixth grade level algebra.
You know what I mean?
And it's very, they're extremely simple to make.
And so, and so I asked General Petraeus at one point because I had been all up and down the border and I went, I was in his office or someplace.
Maybe I was, I don't remember.
I spent a lot of time.
And I was like, you know, I'm not seeing any evidence of EFPs coming in from Iran.
And everybody, you know, is always talking about EFPs.
I mean, I know EFPs are here because I'm with units that are getting, you know, I was in a big ambush with one.
There was like 30 something of them and they killed the people in the vehicle behind me, right?
I mean, they're real.
EFPs are real for sure.
But where are they coming from?
As it turns out, I think the copper was coming from our green zone, the green zone by, which is the green zone in Afghanistan is different from the green zone in Iraq.
Green zone in Afghanistan is anywhere close to a river.
It's green because that's where stuff grows.
The green zone in Iraq, the green zone in Iraq is where the embassy is, right?
That's where the U.S. embassy, they call it the green zone because it was safe.
It wasn't safe at all.
But I mean, but that's why they called it the green zone.
But there was a lot of copper in there.
And I was told that copper was mysteriously vanishing from our green zone.
So, who I, and no, with the things that I know now, I suspect, I just suspect I have no evidence that this was the normal try to frame Iran because the Zionists are desperate to go to war with Iran.
They're desperate to go to war with Iran.
They're desperate to destroy the United States.
They're desperate to destroy.
I mean, they've got, remember, wars are about three things and three things only: routes, resources, and ideology.
They're either about routes, about resources, or about ideology, or two of those things, or all three of those things.
In this case, it's all three: routes, resources, and ideology.
Some of those ideologies wish to have Armageddon.
Others wish to, the Zionists wish to reduce the population of basically everybody that's not them.
And that includes killing off a lot of Jews, right?
And then there are other people that want Armageddon.
Some of the Christian Zionists want Armageddon.
Some of the, and they openly talk about it.
Now, some will say that's not true.
And I'm like, I'm sorry.
I get an earful of that almost every day, right?
And of course, a lot of the Shia want that as well, right?
There's different people that want Armageddon coming at it from different ideological perspectives.
So there's that component.
And then there's other components of ideology.
And then there's the routes and resources, all of which are on the multi-trillion dollar level, and also changing world history.
I mean, whoever does this and comes out on top, if anybody comes out on top, we might all be reduced to rubble, but they would be king of the little world that's left behind.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me shift gears here.
I mean, my God, this is so fascinating.
And your history and your experience is so incredibly valuable in understanding what's happening here because you've been on the ground.
You're a war correspondent, among other things, and you've traveled extensively.
So you really understand the dynamics.
But let me ask you about Trump now saying and claiming that he's going to have a coalition of vessels, ships from other countries that are going to send ships together with the U.S., and then they're going to somehow force open as if more ships makes it wider or something.
They're going to force open the Strait of Hormuz.
But nobody can explain how that's supposed to work because just because you have five other ships, that doesn't mean that the tanker that it's escorting can't be hit by drones.
You know what I mean?
Like nobody's thinking about this.
People are acting like complete morons.
But you tell me, what are your thoughts?
If Iran doesn't want, again, let me go back to day one.
I've said long before the war, many, many times in writing and on interviews and with you, that if the Strait of Hormuz gets closed, which it is allegedly right, it will probably not be Iran who does it.
If they do, it will be in some limited fashion.
Iran doesn't want it.
Iran is the one that gets most badly damaged by the Strait of Hormuz getting closed.
Another one that gets severely damaged is Japan, where I'm at right now.
This place will be devastated by the long-term closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
But why would Iran want to close it?
They don't want to, right?
They want to keep it open.
And China wants to keep it open.
Japan certainly wants to get everybody wants to keep it open except the Zionists.
The Zionists would be the one that close it and blame it on Iran.
It's always blame, Iran.
You know, like the song Bomb Iran, that music warfare from the 70s, right?
And so the, so it's always blame, blame.
Again, now you see influencers talking about, you know, Iranian ship could come up on the California coast and release drones.
The Persians aren't that stupid.
They're not that tactically.
They're not that strategic.
The Persians are super smart.
They're obviously a lot smarter than the Zionists, actually.
The Persians are very methodical.
They're not insane.
And maybe that's what drives the Zionists insane, right?
The Persians are not going to come up on a ship next to California and release a bunch of drones.
Now, I could see the Zionists doing it and blaming the Persians.
I could see the Zionists cacking off nuclear weapons in the United States and blaming Iran so that we can go get the United States to start lobbing nukes all over the place.
But I mean, listen, the Zionists are the ones who did October 7th.
Everybody under the sun knows that.
The Israelis know it.
The Israelis know it.
A lot of Americans still don't seem to know it, but Israelis know it that it was Zionists who did October 7th, right?
They killed over a thousand of their own people, right?
They used Hamas to do it and they used the IDF to do it, right?
They will easily sacrifice Israel.
Keep in mind, the Israelis are in the way of the Zionists.
They don't care about the Israelis.
The Israelis are no more valuable to the Zionists than are the Gazans, right?
They don't care.
That place is there.
They want to build the Ben-Gurion Canal.
Haifa is obviously taking some damage recently.
They want that gas.
They want that land cleared off of any trouble and they want a despotic state there.
They've been doping up Israelis for years.
Israelis smoke more dope than Bob Marley, right?
I spent a lot of time with Israelis.
They are heavy dope smokers.
And the idea, by the way, that dope makes people passive and peaceful.
You obviously never been around Israelis.
Go on YouTube, right?
They're constantly.
I mean, I've been with Israelis.
I've seen what they do.
Actually, I enjoyed my time with Israelis quite a lot, traveling with them in India and in Nepal and other places.
I actually enjoyed it.
But then, because they were kind to me, but I saw how they would treat others.
And I would often warn them: people from my culture are your support base in the United States.
And when you treat a waitress or a waiter or a taxi driver the way I'm seeing, I'm warning you, you're going to turn off a lot of Americans who are going to go, whoa, who am I supporting?
Because if you're talking down to waitresses and that sort of thing, we don't like that.
You know what I mean?
We don't like that.
And we remember it.
When you run off from a taxi driver and don't pay him like in Kosamui, as they often did with those Sung Taos down there, people don't like that.
We don't like that.
And the thing is, if just one or two Israelis did it, okay, everybody's got knuckleheads.
We all know, we understand that.
But it's a habit.
I mean, you see it a lot.
They treat people badly.
Look, they're not letting people into bomb shelters.
We've seen those complaints in previous times.
And now here they are again.
People not being allowed to get into bomb shelters, even though missiles are coming in.
And the Israelis are fighting people out, not letting them in because they're Christian or whatever, right?
And keep in mind, many of the Israelis are Christian.
Many of the Israelis are Muslim.
Many of the Israelis are Orthodox Jews who hate the Zionists, right?
Many of the Israelis are atheists, of course.
And so Israel is not like a Jewish state where everybody's Jewish.
And as you know, there's many forms of Christianity.
There's many forms of Judaism, many forms of Islam.
Many of the Jews absolutely hate the Zionists and they kill each other like crazy.
So Netanyahu, what happened to him?
Did he get kidnapped?
Did he get assassinated?
Unpredictable War Wildcards00:05:31
I don't know.
Of course, they would blame it on the Iranians if they eventually say, okay, he was killed, right?
You know, because we can't keep up the facade anymore that the AI makes him, you know, the guy, listen, that latest video that we even have to question whether it's real or not, that's enough.
If we have to, he should have absolute proof of life.
It should be, it should be like beyond over the top.
We clearly, you know, numerous people shook his hand and people that we trust, which would be unlikely, you know, that people that we trust would actually be meeting Netanyahu at this point.
But he should be doing something that's absolute proof of life, like holding up today's newspaper and doing something else that nobody else could do, but Netanyahu and AI would have a hard time faking it.
But they're not doing that.
Something's wrong.
He's either captured, dead, or hiding, or wounded, or something.
Yeah, clearly that's the case.
Okay, let me let me ask you a question about duration here because one of your three rules of war is that wars last longer than you than you expect, right?
And I've quoted your three rules of war many times, by the way, and they've always proven correct.
So here we are where Trump has repeatedly announced that we've already won, that the war is over.
He and Carolyn Levitt, who is the propaganda spokesperson, constantly every day claiming we've completely destroyed Iran, totally decimated them.
There's nothing left.
And yet, somehow, none of that's true, right?
So Baghdad mob.
Baghdad Bob.
She's like Baghdad Bobby or something, you know?
Tell me your estimation of how long this thing goes on or sort of what is the pathway to escalation of this.
And is this going to probably keep going the rest of this calendar year or what do you, what do you think it?
Well, keep in mind the three rules of war prediction that will make anybody look like Nostradamus is when you go, you know what?
I think this war is going to grow, right?
Because wars like fires grow.
And the other one is it's going to grow unpredictably, which they, any serious war grows very unpredictably.
And they last longer than expected.
They do those three things habitually.
Now, keep in mind, a war like that, like a famine, a big famine takes time to build.
It takes time.
And so it goes into the next season and the next season.
And finally the math, you know, and it tips over and vanishes at some point.
But it can take many years, seven years or more, right?
And you get into wars are the same way.
You look at the heaviest fighting of the Iraq war, which I was in 2007.
That was four years into the war, right?
Likewise with Afghanistan, it took how many long, how long was that?
Was the heaviest fighting 200?
I don't know.
I was in that too.
It was roughly the 2007, 8, 9, something.
Anyway, I was in that as well.
So, I mean, but the heaviest fighting in Afghanistan also took years to build up.
World War II took years to build up.
So you don't start off flat-footed.
It takes time for all the energy to build.
Like a hurricane is not, a hurricane doesn't snap into existence.
So this one is clearly still building.
It's clearly still building.
It's going to build in unpredictable ways.
It doesn't matter how much knowledge somebody has.
You're not going to be able to predict how this unfolds because there's too many wildcards.
There's too much something happened, solar flares or something.
There's too many wildcards out there that nobody can predict.
There's people that make decisions to do things based on astrology or one fight that I was in in Bangkok where people got killed.
There was actually an astrologer named E.T. actually in Burma.
Her name was E.T., but not spelled like E.T. Gohome.
It was like E-H-T-H-I, I think.
And anyway, she was like something wrong with her astrologer.
But a lot of the big Asian decision makers listen to E.T. very closely, right?
And E.T. Maidson predictions, which I published back in, I don't know, 10 years, more than 10 years ago, 12 years ago, I guess, when I was in the last coup in Thailand in 2014.
And so, you know, I was saying what she predicted.
And then now people were working to fulfill this thing.
It ended up in some shootouts and stuff, and people got killed.
I was there.
And so, but it was all based on this, you know, big battle that happened to take back, you know, government house and all these different things.
It happened because E.T., this like mentally, you know, she had difficulty.
Astrologer, people consulted her and she told them what they needed to do.
So, you know, guns were out and they went to doing it.
I mean, you know, so what I'm getting to is there's no way to predict things like this.
Or maybe there is for God, but it's way beyond my headlights.
So, well, one of the things that we can know, I mean, I agree with you.
We can't predict how the war is going to grow, but we can most definitely project the second and third order effects of the shortages.
So, and you and I have already talked about some of them, but I think what our audience needs to understand is that supply chains are getting wrecked globally.
Aluminum plants are shutting down and declaring force majeure.
Sulfuric acid you've been talking about exactly.
Projecting Second Order Effects00:07:11
Anything I run a mass spec laboratory, a food testing lab, and we depend on helium.
Helium is one of the collision cell on the mass spec instruments.
And helium, like one-third of the world's helium production, is now offline.
How are labs going to function without helium?
Answer is they're not.
They're not going to function.
And, you know, how are farmers going to grow full yields without nitrogenous fertilizers?
And the answer is they're not.
So, and there are so many effects here: manufacturing, technology, microchip production needs helium.
And, you know, microchip lithography, for example, needs a lot of these special gases and acids, et cetera.
I don't think people are pondering this in the depth that you and I are, Michael, but this will have a global domino effect that is catastrophic.
Go ahead.
Four horsemen.
I mean, you know, I mentioned this with you a couple of times, you know, years ago.
I was doing an interview and I talked about how pandemic and famine and war go together.
And I discovered that, right?
And then one of my readers, longtime readers, she was called in live and she's like, no, that's in the Bible, right?
I'm like, yikes, I plagiarized from the Bible.
I didn't even, I probably got, I probably got it from the Bible and forgot where I got it.
But, you know, I mean, because I see that clear pattern.
I mean, I can confirm that the Bible is accurate.
The pandemic and famine and war, they absolutely go together, just like three legs of the triangle are related, right?
And the angles and the links are related.
And same with pandemic, famine, and war are very closely related.
And after you've studied these things for a while, you'll see why.
I mean, there's like clear relations.
It might not jump off the page, but once you study it, it's obvious.
But what they all do is create hop human osmotic pressure.
And that human osmotic pressure, the push and pull of migration, is part of what spreads these things, right?
It's part of what spreads disease is the human osmotic pressure.
Like disease goes with it, or people pick up diseases as they're moving.
Or they're like, say, you get into a war and they're, you know, you have a famine due to the war, or the war famine is used in wars.
Obviously, it's one of the major weapons in wars and disease is as well.
And so, but when people move, they steal other people's food.
The famine spreads.
And anyway, these things spread, they spread together until they reach some magical mathematical inflection point and they go away.
So, this human osmotic pressure, this will lead to the toppling of regimes.
And we've already begun to see protests in Bahrain, for example, extreme, you know, possibly the toppling of the government there.
You already mentioned you'd think that many of these Arab Gulf states will not survive this.
And I agree with you.
I think many of them will not survive.
And I think America's presence in the Middle East is toast, toast at this point.
How does America maintain military bases with any kind of credible promise that it's a protection shield from here forward?
What do you think?
I mean, it may have been day one of the shooting or before.
I messaged to Eric Prince.
I said, you know, this could lead to the ejection of the United States out of the Middle East and it could lead to the, you know, the final end of Israel, right?
As we know it, you know?
And I think at this point, I mean, that bought, I mean, it's clear the inertia is going that way.
That's obvious.
But how will it play out?
I don't know because, you know, war has got all these weird twists and turns and you never know what's going to happen next.
But at the, you know, and they don't go linearly.
But if you were to extrapolate linearly at this point, then Israel will clearly be destroyed.
But that's not how wars go.
We don't know too many wild cards.
But if I were to, I would put my money on Israel doesn't exist 10 years from now in the form we know, even possibly five or less, that it doesn't exist in the form that we know it.
You might still call it Israel or whatever, but they're already leaving.
They're already shooting off to Fort Lauderdale.
Look, Netanyahu's son's been running around rolling around in Florida, being a playboy down in South Florida, tweeting all the time, but he's vanished too.
But look, have you ever heard of the Hungry 40s?
The Hungry 40s from the 1800s?
Yeah.
They called it the Hungry 40s.
That led to the end of toppling of governments and that sort of anytime you have a famine, anytime you have a famine, you can expect governments get toppled, right?
And I mean, there's nothing worse than a severe famine.
A severe famine, I mean, for those who've studied famine, you know what I'm talking about.
Severe famine, to me, that seems a lot worse when you see the end state and how it actually affects a people.
It affects the people worse than actually war, unless the war is genocidal and they're all killed.
But I mean, the famine itself has such long-term effects beyond the people that were, you know, died at the time.
I mean, look at Ireland.
Ireland never recovered.
Ireland is still going down.
And part of that's the last famine that ended in arguably 1854, people argue when it ended.
Anyway, let's say 1850s ended.
But the Irish population shot off to the United States and Australia and everywhere else.
Many of them died.
That was the British organizing that famine to reduce the pop.
That was genocide, right?
That was a Victorian type famine, right?
The British were always good at making famines, or at least for some centuries.
And I'm sure they still have that knowledge.
And they're not the only ones.
I'm not just harping on the British as people, British are a good and bad.
We got a lot of great things from the British and some bad things.
But they're a mixed bag.
But ultimately, I'm not blaming everything on the British.
But they're very good at famine.
They're very good at using famine and war.
It's called Victorian Famines.
There's a lot of great books about it.
I've read several of them.
Okay.
So obviously one of the takeaways then for people in observing this war is, number one, do not believe the White House and the press when they say, oh, it's over or we're going to wrap it up soon.
We're going to reopen the strait.
Everything's going to return to normal, right?
The chances of that seem to be zero.
But secondly, it's prepare for long-term scarcity of food and empty shelves in some cases, not in every case.
But price, the price of food is what's going to cause a lot of hunger because even if it's on the shelf, if you can't afford it, you know, you're still going hungry, right?
That's a big issue.
And as you know, that leads to theft.
That leads to gleaning.
You know, gleaning is in the Bible, actually.
And people are already starting to glean.
They have been for the last couple of years, last three or four or five years, last four or five years.
Gleaning is when people, well.
Gleaning from the Bible is when you just get the stuff on the edges of the field type thing.
Epidemic Typhus Risks00:04:41
But more, let's say, more aggressive gleaning is you steal all the avocados out of somebody's tree or, you know, all the fruit off their trees or steal their okra or whatever.
You're out there robbing, stealing cattle rustling and not to sell the cattle, but to eat them, right?
And so then what will end up happening is a lot of farmers just stop farming, especially when people start robbing warehouses and robbing boats and robbing semi-trucks and that sort of thing.
The food just, so you end up with food deserts, right?
Now, when the food desert happens, then the people who created the food desert in one place, that just spreads.
Again, that's why food scarcity can spread just like wars spread, just like pandemic spreads.
Pandemic, one of the reasons that pandemic, one of the things I've warned about many, many times, I think with you about four years ago is typhus.
Typhus goes with war.
Typhus goes with famine.
Typhus, they often call it a famine fever.
They'll call it war fever.
I'm talking about epidemic typhus from lice, right?
Not from some of the other types of typhus, but the typhus that comes epidemic, it's called epidemic typhus.
So they call it ship fever.
They call it camp fever.
They call it hospital fever because lice, you know, it spreads like lice.
And so when you have a big pandemic, like especially a big, let's say a big famine, then you'll start to see famine fever, which is, you know, spreading of lice.
And so you have to be cognizant of that.
You know, and there, and typhus is endemic to the United States, like, you know, Southern California and that sort of thing.
Occasionally, they'll find somebody out there on the street that has, you know, some small, it doesn't become epidemic because the health department are squashing down on it quickly.
But when things break down, that epidemic, which is always hovering there in the background like weeds, waiting to break free, the next thing you know, you got epidemic typhus spreading, which then causes more famine.
These things, it's a fuel and fire that work together.
Wow.
Okay.
So because of that, then we're going to see probably the same thing we saw during COVID, the establishment pushing vaccines and pushing shutdown or lockdowns, pushing maybe masks again.
You know, it seems like a lot of elements of COVID are going to come back around, including the authoritarian demands to concede to every ridiculous government demand, which included, by the way, during COVID, blocking off the seed sections of some retailers where you couldn't even buy seeds.
Let me say something about lice.
About four or maybe five years ago, I think it was about five, even six, I found a website where somebody was saying, if children come to school with lice, don't send them home because it's racist, right?
And this was like an official type health department.
You might be able to find that right now.
I don't have my computer out, but you might be able to find that website right now.
It's probably still up.
But that was, you know, all about go ahead and let the kids stay in school.
If they have lice, don't send them home because, you know, that's bad for their psyche and that sort of thing.
That's clearly trying to spread.
That was like an official type website, by the way.
Can you find, I don't know if you've got a computer in front of you, but you can see that website.
And what was the name of it?
In fact, I published it several times.
Yeah.
I do have a computer, but I don't recall that site.
Yeah.
Yeah, I published it several times.
You know, it's a, it's a, you know, they're clearly setting psychological conditions so that when there are when we do have typhus and lice is breaking out, people go, oh, that's just lice.
Don't, you know, don't, don't, don't say we should stay away from that kid because he's got lice.
I mean, you definitely 100% should stay away from anybody that's got lice.
That's how epidemic typhus spreads, and epidemic typhus will put you in the grave, lickety split.
Well, I know that in Taiwan in the 1960s and 70s, let's say, when they had head lice there, because I was told this by some of the old-timers that I used to talk to when I lived there, they get a shower cap.
So the kids would have lice, right?
They get a shower cap and then they would dowse your hair with DDT and then put a shower cap on your head and make you sit under the sun and bake in the DDT in your head, right?
To kill the lice.
That's a technique.
And it worked.
I mean, oh, yeah, it killed the lice, but of course, all that DDT goes right into your skull.
But that's what they used to do.
And I'm sure similar practices.
Reducing Population Counts00:02:30
No habitat.
Right.
Yeah, no hair, right?
Simple.
That definitely works.
But also, the stories that I heard from Taiwan of people living in the post-Japanese occupation following World War II was extreme famine.
And I think I told you the story of one of the guys who's since passed away that I used to talk to.
And he didn't speak any English at all, but he talked about how they would have to do guerrilla gardening of sweet potatoes because that's the only food that they could grow in the forests without the occupying Japanese knowing about it.
And they lived on sweet potatoes to the point where he would never touch a sweet potato ever again in his life.
Yeah.
And actually, stealth growing has been a big thing in every famine.
In fact, that's one of the ways that, you know, when the KGB, their genesis, you know, let's say Russian intelligence, their genesis of, you know, becoming more corporate, let's say, was all about finding food, right?
During famine.
So, I mean, they, so, I mean, and because, you know, they would pay people like people are hoarding food.
You know, if you're not skinny like everybody else or they smell food coming out of your chimney, they're busting down the door.
And, you know, people would hide food in their garden because it would cover up the, you know, that you'd been digging and hiding food down.
There was many, many ways, many ways.
Like Mao at some point, he said something like, you know, he basically grudgingly respected the ability of people to hide food.
They found ways to hide it that were ingenious.
And, you know, they were always trying to find, because part of what they were trying to do is reduce the population.
That was the number one.
That wasn't part.
That's what they were trying to do, reduce the population.
Now, keep in mind during a famine, it doesn't mean that suddenly everybody's doing a full-body and full corporate, let's save all the people starving.
During the Irish famine, there were still people making whiskey, even while other Irish were dying of famine, right?
There were still people, I mean, making vodka and that sort of thing.
There were still people, you know, out of potatoes, right?
There were still, you know, in the Chinese famine, Mao's great famine, they were still exporting cotton, right?
Because he needed the cotton for gold and that sort of thing.
I mean, they were still growing stuff that wasn't, they weren't eating it.
They were just growing it for money.
So, you know, while people are starving to death, life goes on for others.
AI Replacing Human Labor00:09:39
Yeah, right.
That's very interesting because you can be starving to death while your neighbor has food.
And then the social cohesion starts to become an issue.
It starts to degrade.
And, you know, you have, don't forget that also you have the National Defense Authorization Act signed by Obama that now gives Trump the capability to seize all farm crops and farmland and diesel fuel and farm equipment and cattle and everything.
That's all.
They will absolutely do it.
They will absolutely do it.
All right.
So, well, tell me more about what actually let me ask you to go ahead and tell our audience about your Twitter handle, your sub stack.
Also.
Right.
I'm on Substack.
I put that video about Netanyahu.
Where's Netanyahu?
I put that up.
And by the way, my Substack is free.
But for those who want to sign up and actually pay for those who can't afford it, you can, because it's free, no matter if you've got the money or not.
But for those who wish to sign up and subscribe, you can do it.
You won't get actually any more information by signing up, but you're helping everybody get the information because it's expensive.
And I'm on X.
So my name is Michael Jan, Y-O-N, and I'm on X under that name.
And Big Honey, it makes it easier to find at Big Honey because there's other, you know, they, for some reason, anyway, if you search for Big Honey, it pops up easier.
Okay.
All right.
So then let me ask you one last question for discussion here, which is that what you're describing, which is clearly a global engineered famine and a depopulation agenda, it fits perfectly into what I am seeing as the rise of AI and robotics as replacements for human cognition as well as human labor.
These things go together in my mind.
War and famine, followed by the rise of AI, labor, and cognition.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
Right.
I mean, this is all part of it.
I mean, again, there's a lot of people that are losing their jobs, not just because the economy is going.
Even if the economy was booming right now, a lot of people would be losing their jobs due to computers, due to AI, right?
I mean, so this is what the globalists are looking at.
How are we going to get rid of all these people that aren't going to have jobs and they're going to be useless eaters, as Yaval Harari, and some of those other globalists talk about, right?
And keep in mind, this is an old thing.
Now, the current globalists are really open about it, but there's all, I mean, I've got numerous books here from two, three hundred years old, quite a lot.
Probably it's quite, it's more than numerous.
It's like maybe a couple dozen talking about how to reduce population using that when you've got too many people.
You've got like the king has too many people, like in Wales, right?
There's one that's, you know, talking about in Wales, how to reduce the population, right?
How to rearrange people.
I've got a book over here.
I wish I could reach it, but it's on the edge of there.
It's about how the Bulgarians and the Greeks and the Turks are swapping populations and that sort of thing.
I mean, it's like, this is normal.
And that's from 1932, right?
But some of the other books that I have are, you know, one, two, 300 years old.
And they're all talking about the same thing, how to reduce or increase your population.
Sometimes you want more people because of some reason.
You know, maybe you have silver in Peru and you're Spanish and you need slaves to get the get the gold, the silver out, right?
That sort of thing.
Of course, they don't bring those mostly back to Spain, but there's other times when people, when the, when the resources to create things like farmland are in your own country.
So you bring people back to your country.
And the next thing you know, they stay in your country and they make families.
And the next thing you know, you have a, you know, a remaking of the demography.
This is normal stuff.
It happens all over the world century after century to the Romans and everybody else.
Right, right.
Except what's different now is for the first time in history is that machines can replace human cognition and labor.
So it seems like the trend here is going to be more on the human elimination side rather than growing.
It's not new.
It's not new, Michael.
It's not new.
I mean, it's just, it's new with AI, but it's not, I mean, like the Ludites, as an example, were fighting against the machines that were taking their jobs away.
That's where the word sabotage came from, right?
Sabotage, sabot, those wooden shoes.
They were called sabot.
They would throw those shoes into the machines, and that's why they called it sabotage, because they were sabotaging.
Now, the AI is new, but the idea of machines replacing people.
I mean, that's how we ended up with the Industrial Revolution.
You had more and more machines and better agriculture, and the people were able to, from the agricultural revolution, when you had better agriculture machines and better technology, the people were able to move to the cities.
Now you've got people that are working in factories and you're able to do things in the cities and things increase.
Now you have machines in the cities and for a while, people just keep evolving and using different types of machines to do things.
But now we're getting to the point where, as you know, we've reached a tipping point.
Globally, they just need and want less humans to do their industrial industry.
My point is that, I mean, you're right that we've seen these waves before.
But what is truly different this time is that for all of history, humans have been smarter than the machines they ran, right?
So, you know, a loom couldn't outthink a human.
An engine couldn't outthink a human.
Now we're talking about machines that can outthink and outperform humans across the board in almost every area of thinking, right?
You know, science, medicine, law, writing, video production, you name it.
So that's the part that I'm saying is unique to this era.
And it makes humans more replaceable or more expendable from the point of view of globalists than ever before.
That's kind of what I'm trying to point out.
That's true.
They always needed some number of humans to do the thinking and to be the lawyers, you know, to run the bureaucracy, for example.
Now they don't.
That's true.
I mean, you know, lawyers and doctors will just be non-existent because they'll use AI, right?
The doctor will be there to do, you know, wear the white coat and say, let me check my computer.
Well, you need this drug, you know, right?
Yeah, exactly.
So, so what I'm trying to do is just connect the dots here to say that this famine that you're talking about, this engineered war, actually fits perfectly within the larger agenda of replacing billions of humans with machines.
They don't, they don't hide what they're doing, Michael.
I mean, they say it.
I mean, how did I know what they're doing?
Because they say it.
I mean, they hide it.
True.
And then we go out and say, are they really doing this?
We're like, yeah, they are really doing it.
I mean, we go see farmers in all these so many different countries, you know, Canada or United States, of course, Japan, Netherlands, all over the place looking at this.
And yeah, they're doing it.
And Ireland, I mean, they're clearly going to reduce the population.
And one of the problems that a lot of Americans have is they have this savior complex.
We have to have, we have to vote somebody who's going to save us.
You know what I mean?
Somebody save us.
We have to save ourselves.
You know, our ancestors who created the United States, nobody, it wasn't some individual who came and saved everybody.
I mean, that was rugged people that came and did rugged things.
And, you know, they pulled the rocks out of their own fields and that sort of thing.
And yeah.
Yeah, exactly right.
Well, okay, Michael, this has been another extraordinary conversation.
I can't believe how much time has gone by so quickly here.
Is there anything else you want to add before we wrap it up?
No, sir.
And thanks for having me on.
There's a lot of things to go.
Listen, all of our families have been through wars and pandemics and famine.
Everybody watching this, you come from a hardy line of genes or you would not be watching this.
Everybody watching this comes from a family line that's been through all this many, many times.
So it's not like this is the end of the world for the people who get ready and prepare for it, but it's the end of the world for a lot of people who are not going to see what happens and they're going to get clunked over the head like dodo birds.
So that's not our task in life.
Our task in life is to carry on and thrive.
Yeah, well said.
I'm glad you said that.
All we have to do is remember and invoke our ancestry because we have these capabilities to survive and thrive.
But, you know, it's been kind of, I don't know, it's been pummeled out of so many people's minds where they're no longer capable of thinking.
You know, they've all been dumped down in so many ways.
It's just extraordinary.
But that's not the people watching this, obviously.
So the people watching this, I think you're going to do just fine.
Well, let me just remind people, your handle on X is michael underscore Jan, and then your Substack is michaeljan.substack.com, correct?
That's right.
Okay.
And I noticed you have a channel on YouTube also that is up.
So that's just Michael Jan also?
Yeah, when I put things on Substack, when I put video up, it automatically feeds to YouTube.
So that's interesting.
So that's the derivative of Substack.
Nuclear Survival Supplies00:03:58
Okay.
I just wonder how long YouTube is going to let you have a channel.
I wonder, too.
I noticed last night there was a strike because I was looking at, because, you know, I don't go to my YouTube very much and somebody was asking me something and I was looking on there and I noticed I have a strike that's been up there for a couple of years.
I didn't even notice.
Something to do with something to do with medical misinformation.
Yeah, that's pretty much if I just open my mouth on YouTube, it's immediately labeled medical misinformation.
Just talking about vitamin C, you know.
Right.
But that's the way it is.
Well, thank you, Michael, for your time.
Much appreciated.
Thanks, Michael.
Thank you.
All right.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Oh, don't disconnect.
Okay.
Okay.
Stay connected.
Let me just end the recording.
Thanks for watching, folks.
Take care.
Yes, the world is getting crazy.
But here at the Health Ranger store, we're putting together a survival supply assortment for you.
If you go to healthrangerstore.com slash survival, you'll see what we put together for you, including iodine and iosat.
That's a specific brand name of potassium iodide that's FDA approved.
Or we have the nascent iodine here, which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
These are available in case things go nuclear.
It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere.
All the inventories will be wiped out like what happened after Fukushima in 2011.
So if you want to get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now.
HealthRangerStore.com slash survival.
In addition, we have many other survival items for you here, including some silver solutions, some spirulina available in bulk and at a discount, and then a large assortment of storable organic food that's laboratory tested, including our Ranger bucket sets.
Here's a 195-day supply.
We've got the mini buckets, and we've also got number 10 cans available of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and other things like miso soup powder.
Here's some of the buckets.
There's a big variety available.
Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
Remember, a lot of people are missing fruit.
They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially, again, certified organic, freeze-dried.
That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format.
All of this is available right now and so much more.
Just go to healthrangerstore.com slash survival.
And because the freeze-dried foods last for so long, you know, even if you don't eat them this year or next year, just keep them on the shelf.
They're going to last a very long time with good preservation, a long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world.
Now, of course, I'm praying for peace.
I'm praying for de-escalation.
I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
There could be, you know, domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the U.S.
So stock up early, stock up now, get your emergency food, emergency medicine, iodine, anything else that you think that you might need.
Get it now.
