=== Preparing Ohio for Supply Chain Chaos (15:17) ===

[00:00:01]  One of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself, but helping those around you be more prepared.
[00:00:07]  Because then if there is an issue, if there's a massive supply chain, whether it's, and look what happened in Cuba, if you look at how these things play out, if that were to happen here on American soil, I think I do think that most Americans are woefully unprepared for that.
[00:00:19]  Any father, if any father is seeing their own child starving, they will do whatever it takes to get that child a meal, even if it means taking someone's life.
[00:00:30]  If you want to understand just how close we are to absolute Mad Max chaos, go read what happens when an EMP goes off.
[00:00:38]  Welcome to today's interview here on BrightVideos.com.
[00:00:41]  I'm Mike Adams, and we are joined by Seth Holehouse.
[00:00:45]  And he, of course, hosts his own show, Man in America.
[00:00:49]  And he's got a wealth of information about preparedness and resiliency in this time of extreme challenges.
[00:00:55]  So welcome to the show, Seth.
[00:00:56]  It's great to have you back on.
[00:00:58]  Mike, it's always good to come on.
[00:01:00]  Thank you for having me.
[00:01:02]  And you mentioned I have a wealth of resiliency.
[00:01:04]  I think that my wealth is coming from a lot of your wealth.
[00:01:08]  It's kind of like what my dad always said, you know, playing cards.
[00:01:10]  He'd say, Seth, remember, I taught you everything I know, but or sorry, I taught you everything you know, but not everything I know.
[00:01:16]  So anyway, it's all these one-liners.
[00:01:20]  So that's great.
[00:01:20]  Anyway, it's good to be here, Mike.
[00:01:22]  Well, I know that it's great to have you on, by the way.
[00:01:25]  And I love your work.
[00:01:26]  And you have over the years, because we've talked, we've been in touch.
[00:01:31]  You have built out a really self-reliant lifestyle, you and your family.
[00:01:37]  And, you know, you moved at least once that I know of.
[00:01:40]  That was a big deal.
[00:01:41]  But give our audience just a little bit of background about what you are doing because you're not just a talking head that has theories about things.
[00:01:49]  Like you're living this every single day.
[00:01:50]  So tell our audience about what you're living.
[00:01:54]  Yeah.
[00:01:54]  Well, first off, to address the moving, I think that my wife and I have moved, I think maybe five times since 2020.
[00:02:03]  Oh my, that's okay.
[00:02:04]  That's crazy.
[00:02:05]  Yeah.
[00:02:06]  Twice across the nation.
[00:02:09]  Or kind of, you know, serious moves.
[00:02:11]  So yeah, we've done a lot of moving.
[00:02:13]  And yeah, just to give, I guess, a little bit of background, I guess, you know, looking for more of a kind of preparedness perspective.
[00:02:21]  I grew up in rural Ohio.
[00:02:23]  I moved to New York City in 2008 to work for the Epoch Times.
[00:02:29]  Actually, at that point, it was a very kind of early, like I should give you this startup phase, but I really believed in the mission, a very strong stance against communism, which really rung, you know, really kind of struck a chord with me and was in New York City up until 2020.
[00:02:46]  But as we approached, you know, probably 2015 and on, I started feeling just more aware of preparedness.
[00:02:53]  And so at that point, I was living on like the 42nd floor of a high-rise.
[00:02:59]  And so, you know, at that, so I kind of had my big bug out bag.
[00:03:03]  And of course, I couldn't have any guns or anything like that, but I was doing everything I could to prepare.
[00:03:07]  And then once COVID hit, it was actually kind of before, it was early 2020.
[00:03:12]  We noticed that there were these Chinese, this is before the COVID pandemic had hit, Chinese that were wearing masks and kind of distancing themselves from elevators and everything in the elevator.
[00:03:22]  And so, and we found out simultaneously my wife was pregnant.
[00:03:25]  So we're saying, okay, let's go back to the, go back to the countryside of Ohio.
[00:03:29]  And so we moved back to Ohio.
[00:03:32]  We kind of bounced around.
[00:03:33]  We ended up buying a home out in the country.
[00:03:35]  We had five acres out, you know, much more in a rural area.
[00:03:39]  And just, you know, this was probably 2021, 2022.
[00:03:43]  We were listening to you a lot then.
[00:03:45]  And it's kind of funny because my wife would come to me in the morning and she'd say, Seth, I spent like $2,000 on survival supplies last night.
[00:03:54]  And I'd say, were you listening to Mike Adams?
[00:03:56]  She'd say, yeah.
[00:03:59]  But it was, it was good, though, because we're still using the toilet paper that we bought from Costco during COVID.
[00:04:05]  Oh, my.
[00:04:06]  So I haven't had to buy new, buy toilet paper in probably four years.
[00:04:09]  That just, you know, we probably bought it for hedging inflation, right?
[00:04:13]  And ammo, and I, I would imagine iodine, like all the things that a prepper needs, right?
[00:04:19]  Absolutely.
[00:04:20]  Water treatment.
[00:04:22]  You know, we'll get into the details of the ammunition, but enough to fend off a small, a small zombie apocalypse, I guess you could say.
[00:04:31]  But it wasn't just about buying the supplies.
[00:04:33]  It was about learning.
[00:04:34]  It was about doing.
[00:04:36]  So we built huge gardens.
[00:04:38]  Actually, because of you, I was able to convince my wife to let me get a diesel tractor.
[00:04:42]  So we got a little Kubota with a PTO generator and that became a good tool for us.
[00:04:48]  But we did it.
[00:04:50]  I built a chicken coop.
[00:04:52]  We had about 50 chickens at that time.
[00:04:54]  And we had all of this stuff.
[00:04:57]  And we were very, from a supply perspective, we were set.
[00:05:01]  But one thing that we realized in that process is we had friends and family that were kind of near us, so we were pretty far out.
[00:05:08]  And we were telling people, hey, come out with us.
[00:05:11]  Hey, come help us with our gardens.
[00:05:12]  Come help us with the chickens.
[00:05:14]  Or hey, a friend or neighbor, if you do rabbits, we'll do chickens and we can exchange.
[00:05:19]  Nobody was interested in it.
[00:05:21]  Nobody was that, you know, they thought we were a little bit kind of out there.
[00:05:26]  And even amidst COVID, they just was like, oh, yeah, the sets, they're like the preppers.
[00:05:32]  So you found out that you were surrounded by people who were not prepared.
[00:05:36]  Absolutely.
[00:05:38]  And looked at preparedness more of just as a hobby.
[00:05:42]  And they looked at it as like, okay, well, we'll have a little garden patch and we can have a garden.
[00:05:46]  But I mean, we were serious and we had, I mean, just to give an idea, you know, obviously you know gardening pretty well.
[00:05:53]  I mean, when it was harvest time, just between say tomatoes and bell peppers, I was probably, I probably collected 10, five gallon buckets of vegetables.
[00:06:03]  You know, so it wasn't just a small little garden.
[00:06:05]  It was serious.
[00:06:05]  And we had a, we had, we still do, we had a harvest right freeze dryer.
[00:06:09]  So we were freeze-drying eggs, freeze-drying, you know, vegetables, freeze-drying ground beef.
[00:06:15]  You know, we were just, everything was oriented around this, but we were learning in the process.
[00:06:20]  Like that was, you know, one of my favorite lessons, which I'm still, I look at it every day when I look at my mangled toe, is don't build a chicken coop in the rain wearing Birkenstocks.
[00:06:30]  Because I dropped a four by eight sheet of three quarter inch plywood vertically down across all my toes and destroyed my toenail and broke a couple of toes.
[00:06:41]  Oh God.
[00:06:42]  But that's how you learn your lessons.
[00:06:45]  Also, I knocked a tooth out.
[00:06:46]  This is a fake tooth.
[00:06:48]  I learned a lesson also working on the chicken coop of why not to leave your power drill on top of your eight foot ladder when you go somewhere to do something because when you look up and you're moving the ladder and the drill comes down and knocks your tooth out and your job is to be on camera, that doesn't work out very well.
[00:07:02]  So we learned a lot of lessons and that was really valuable.
[00:07:06]  I think a lot of people, they look at preparedness As collecting things.
[00:07:10]  It's easy to get kind of geeked out and like, oh, I got this cool survival knife and this, but it's actually the skills that are really important.
[00:07:17]  But more than that, we realized that the most important thing that I think that we needed, we didn't have, which was a community.
[00:07:24]  And that was it because we were very isolated.
[00:07:26]  And I think, you know, even worse thing being isolated, we were surrounded by people that knew we were very prepared, but they weren't prepared.
[00:07:33]  And so that's not a very good situation to be in.
[00:07:37]  And so, as crazy as it is, after about two years and sinking, you know, a significant amount of money into our property, you know, digging a well, putting it a wood-burning stove, all these different things, we decided to move back to New York, but we went to upstate New York because both my wife and I spent most of our adult lives living in the New York region.
[00:08:00]  And so we had a huge community of people here that we knew.
[00:08:04]  And as much as I hate being in New York, the reality is, we've got two little girls or two and five.
[00:08:09]  We've now got a homeschool group with over 30 kids.
[00:08:13]  We've got people over every day.
[00:08:15]  We've got this really just an incredible community of people, whether it's the local raw milk farm that we know the owners, we know the local farmers that run the farm stands.
[00:08:26]  And that was, I think, one of the biggest lessons of that whole process was that you have to have people, you have to have community.
[00:08:34]  That you, unless you're a seer-trained, you can survive anywhere kind of person, you're not going to do well just completely in isolation.
[00:08:45]  You know, one person, even if you've got Enoch on an off-grid laptop, you're still not going to know how to, you know, suture up a wound as well as your neighbor who's a nurse, right?
[00:08:57]  And so that was part of the process that brought us back here.
[00:09:00]  And we've now, I think that we're more prepared than ever.
[00:09:03]  And I think a lot of that is because obviously we have a lot of supplies and we've got a lot of food, actually too much food.
[00:09:09]  I had to get a storage unit to move some of our food into because we had all these five-gallon buckets of dry beans and everything.
[00:09:14]  Well, that's going to come in super handy right now with the global fertilizer cutoff.
[00:09:20]  Yes, sir.
[00:09:21]  Absolutely.
[00:09:21]  You're sitting on a gold mine right there.
[00:09:24]  Yeah.
[00:09:24]  Well, the other thing is, I think that we're, if anything, we're hedging inflation.
[00:09:27]  Like I'm eating cans, canned foods that I bought for a buck a can four years ago that's now 250 a can.
[00:09:34]  Yeah.
[00:09:35]  So that's one way I look at it is that, you know, we're just working through supplies and we I've got a whole box of this magical stuff right here.
[00:09:43]  I've got a whole box of this in our food storage room.
[00:09:47]  I've got, you know, I've got probably another 30 of these things sitting around.
[00:09:52]  That's good.
[00:09:53]  You know, we use a lot of your stuff, which, you know, kudos to you, Mike.
[00:09:56]  Actually, you've done a great job with a lot of your products and we use your products daily.
[00:10:00]  Oh, thank you.
[00:10:01]  Well, I do too.
[00:10:01]  I mean, like, obviously the protein in here is four years old because I stockpiled loads of whey protein.
[00:10:11]  And just like you, you know, I'm working through the older stuff first and it's perfectly good.
[00:10:16]  You know, it is.
[00:10:18]  It is.
[00:10:18]  So I've got a four-year protein supply.
[00:10:21]  Yeah.
[00:10:22]  Which is something that's dude.
[00:10:23]  I think I still, I think we've got maybe, I think I have about 400 pounds of freeze-dried, of powdered milk, organic, freeze-dried milk that I took.
[00:10:35]  We bought these big bags from Azure, and then I bought a vacuum sealer with my bags.
[00:10:40]  And we actually individually sealed, I think, I think honestly, it's probably 400 pounds of dried milk that just is sitting.
[00:10:47]  You've had some time with the sealer there.
[00:10:49]  Yeah.
[00:10:50]  Oh, yes.
[00:10:51]  Yep.
[00:10:52]  Well, so you're very well prepared, but like you say, it's not just about the stuff, it's about the skills and it's about community.
[00:11:01]  And but you feel like you're well covered there in upstate New York right now?
[00:11:07]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:11:08]  Well, that's the one thing is that people think, oh, you live in New York.
[00:11:11]  Well, like I've lived in the heart of New York City.
[00:11:13]  I mean, literally in Union Square.
[00:11:15]  I lived there for almost a decade.
[00:11:17]  Upstate in New York, as I'd say, feels more conservative than rural Ohio in many ways.
[00:11:23]  I think maybe because you have that contrast, right?
[00:11:26]  When you think that sometimes it's kind of the whole yin and the yang, right?
[00:11:29]  When you have the opposing forces, that one force drives the other force even further away.
[00:11:33]  So I think the people that are outside of the city, that are living in the more rural areas, living within a blue state, it's kind of like California has some of the strongest kind of red population that there is, right?
[00:11:44]  Because people, they know the importance of it versus Ohio is very purple, right?
[00:11:48]  Which, which we know that, right?
[00:11:50]  Every election you see that Ohio is one of those purple states.
[00:11:53]  Well, according to the rigged voting machines, it is, but that's a different issue.
[00:11:56]  Right.
[00:11:57]  But yeah, so I do because we have, we have the, we have the supplies.
[00:12:02]  You know, I'm building a pole barn pretty soon to build out a new studio to do more kind of survival content, more, you know, building, that kind of stuff.
[00:12:11]  But we, you know, we have all the supplies and everything, but we've got the community.
[00:12:15]  We've got my next door neighbor is a retired nurse.
[00:12:19]  The neighbor across from her, he runs part of his kind of side business.
[00:12:22]  He has probably two acres worth of log, you know, for firewood.
[00:12:26]  So that's what he does as part of his extra income.
[00:12:29]  He's got all that.
[00:12:30]  Not to mention, like I said, we know, now we know the farmers.
[00:12:33]  We know the milk farm, the local milk farm.
[00:12:36]  We get our raw milk, which is great because New York happens to be a state where you can get raw milk directly from the farm.
[00:12:41]  Ohio, you had to do like a milk share, a herd share type thing.
[00:12:45]  So yeah, we now have a lot of the people and the infrastructure.
[00:12:50]  And that's, I think, is what I've found to be one of the most important things about this is actually just building your community.
[00:12:56]  Not to mention, I think that people oftentimes overlook the importance of your mental health.
[00:13:02]  And when you're sitting alone in isolation, and it's funny because I was talking to my wife this morning about this process and she was, yeah, you know, Seth, she's like, I remember there was one conversation that really was one of those conversations that shifted her thinking, like, okay, we need to change.
[00:13:18]  And it was when I was sitting on the back deck with her talking about like where I could set up sniper positions to take out people that were coming to our house if they were coming to steal from us.
[00:13:28]  And that was for her.
[00:13:29]  That was for like, okay, we've gone too far down this hole, right?
[00:13:33]  And of course, it's not a bad thing to think through those scenarios.
[00:13:36]  I know that I've listened to your discussions on that and how you've got markers.
[00:13:40]  Okay, that's my 500-yard marker.
[00:13:41]  There's my thousand yard marker.
[00:13:44]  But I think that the mental aspect of it, it doesn't matter what kind of studies you look at.
[00:13:52]  I'm not sure if you've interviewed Michael Nels before, talk about the, I forget what he called his book about just the brain and how important it is for us to have these healthy relationships to help build that mental resilience.
[00:14:04]  It makes us less susceptible to propaganda, less susceptible to fear, everything.
[00:14:09]  And so now we're at a place where we've got this, we've got a community.
[00:14:12]  And it's actually part of what we've got a lot of projects.
[00:14:15]  We have the podcast, but one of the things that actually we're launching next Tuesday is something called the ARC Community.
[00:14:22]  And so it's buildthearch.com is the website for it.
[00:14:27]  And right now it's just to sign up for like the waiting list.
[00:14:30]  We've had, I think now in a couple of months, we've got over 11,000 people just on the waiting list just to come in to join this ARC community.
[00:14:37]  And what it is, is it's a private community for, like, you could say it's kind of faith-based preparedness, but it's really for people just to kind of build this community.
[00:14:45]  We're going to set up local chapters.
[00:14:47]  So we're going to have local chapters across the nation and also as different countries kind of join in.
[00:14:51]  But the whole purpose of it was to basically solve the problem that we had in Ohio, which is what do you do if you live in an area?
[00:15:00]  And aside from your, you're, say, your kind of crazy uncle that's prepared, no one else actually thinks like you do.
[00:15:06]  How do you find that community?
[00:15:08]  How do you build that local infrastructure?
[00:15:10]  And so that's part of what we're doing with the ARC community is giving people the ability to actually look and find people like, oh, wow, this person's 20 miles from me.

=== Solving the Local Chapter Problem (16:35) ===

[00:15:19]  Okay, great.
[00:15:20]  You can join local chapters.
[00:15:21]  So that's another thing that we're doing.
[00:15:22]  We're launching next Tuesday.
[00:15:25]  And so as of right now, buildthearch.com is just a landing page where you put your name and your email to be notified once the doors open.
[00:15:31]  So that's another thing that we're doing as part of all this.
[00:15:33]  Okay, let me give out your main website too.
[00:15:35]  It's SethHolehouse.com.
[00:15:38]  And I'm sure you have a link to your ARC project there as well.
[00:15:42]  Yeah, if you scroll down, there's actually perfect.
[00:15:44]  It has the four main things that we're working on.
[00:15:46]  We've got the Man in America podcast, which is maninamerica.com, the ARC community, which is buildthearch.com, Prep Like Noah, which is my book that's coming out in mid-May.
[00:15:58]  And then we have also this site we built called ReadyScore.
[00:16:02]  And so actually, so you might have to talk about ReadyScore real quick because there are things that we're trying to do.
[00:16:06]  We've been working on that.
[00:16:06]  Yeah, well, I'll segue to that, but I have a question for you first.
[00:16:09]  Yes, please.
[00:16:09]  Okay.
[00:16:10]  So one of the things, like your presentation style is very, is very kind.
[00:16:19]  It's very, you know, compassionate and friendly.
[00:16:22]  And I love that about you, by the way.
[00:16:25]  You know, you're not intimidating to people.
[00:16:28]  At the same time, this is what I want you to answer.
[00:16:31]  I believe that America is facing a level of difficulty because of this war and the collapse of global supply chains and fertilizer and all kinds of scarcities.
[00:16:42]  I think that the average American clearly is not ready for any of this.
[00:16:47]  But I even think that many so-called community preparedness Americans aren't ready for what's coming.
[00:16:54]  And my question to you is, what do you think about the, because at some day, you're going to have to get really tough about the reality of the situation if this war continues and the supply chains are shut down.
[00:17:09]  And, you know, we could lose the ability to manufacture car tires, you know, because of the lack of sulfur.
[00:17:15]  And you can't vulcanize tires without, I mean, we could lose transportation infrastructure in this country.
[00:17:22]  At that point, things are going to get really dicey and it's going to move beyond like a feel-good goat milk rally.
[00:17:29]  You know what I mean?
[00:17:30]  What are your thoughts on that?
[00:17:33]  Well, a lot of thoughts.
[00:17:36]  One thing is that the community, the people that we're close to, I'm trying to do everything I can to help them all be prepared ahead of time.
[00:17:46]  You know, one thing, for instance, I had an opportunity, one of my friends has he owns a survival food company.
[00:17:54]  And I had an opportunity to get a whole pallet of freeze-dried number 10 cans at like a very, very heavy discount.
[00:18:00]  Oh, that's awesome.
[00:18:02]  So it showed us about a 600-pound pallet of freeze-dried food that I paid for just a lot of food.
[00:18:07]  Just the shipping, right?
[00:18:09]  You know, he has a lot of food.
[00:18:10]  So we sent a message out to all of our local families.
[00:18:13]  We know and said, hey, come grab a box of this stuff.
[00:18:16]  We just, we, we pass it out.
[00:18:17]  And so that's one of the best things because that's, I think, the one of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself, but helping those around you be more prepared.
[00:18:27]  Because then if there is an issue, if there's a massive supply chain, whether it's, and look what happened in Cuba, right?
[00:18:33]  I suspect that we hit them with an EMP and maybe we hit them with an HARP earthquake and now we're going to go in.
[00:18:39]  Right.
[00:18:39]  So if you look at how these things play out, if that were to happen here in American soil, I think I do think that most Americans are woefully unprepared for that.
[00:18:48]  And obviously, you know, you don't want to be the person that disaster strikes and you've got 40 people showing up in your driveway looking for handouts, right?
[00:18:55]  So my thinking is, okay, let me get them seeds.
[00:18:58]  Let me get them as much food as ahead of time as we can.
[00:19:01]  I do think that, you know, as nice of a guy as I am, and it's not like an act.
[00:19:07]  I mean, I think that just, it's, it's who I've always really been.
[00:19:10]  It's just kind of like this kind of person I am.
[00:19:11]  I think part of it is because I was really fat as a kid, you know, kind of side story.
[00:19:16]  I was really overweight.
[00:19:16]  And so I thought, okay, well, I'll just be really nice to everybody.
[00:19:19]  That's how I'm going to make kind of make my become successful because I can't rely on my good looks to do anything because I was fat, right?
[00:19:26]  So just, you know, you're, when you're a young kid, you find these kind of coping mechanisms.
[00:19:31]  And so that laid a foundation.
[00:19:33]  But, you know, but I'm also a father.
[00:19:34]  I've got a two-year-old, a five-year-old.
[00:19:36]  And so, and that's just, that's the reality of it is that any father, if any father is seeing their own child starving, they will do whatever it takes to get that child a meal, even if it means taking someone's life.
[00:19:51]  And I'm not saying that I would jump to do that.
[00:19:54]  And hopefully, I would never have to, but there's also a very sober reality of that.
[00:19:59]  I mean, I would say one of the biggest things that it's like if every American could right now go read one second after and read what happens in a country after an EMP hits, like that's to me, not to be like a fear-monger, but it's like if you want to understand just how close we are to absolute mad max chaos, go read what happens when an EMP goes off and read what happens 30 days into that, let alone six months into that, where you've got, you know, complete chaos,
[00:20:27]  which I know you've talked extensively about.
[00:20:29]  So I think part of it is being mentally prepared.
[00:20:32]  I hope that our nation never gets to a place where we have that situation where we're literally getting into small localized wars and battles and gunfights.
[00:20:42]  I hope that never comes to that.
[00:20:44]  But as nice as I am as a father, I understand that there are certain times, it's like if you go to war, if there's an enemy nation that's invading, or if you're occupied by an enemy nation, right?
[00:20:56]  Then you have to do things that require, I think, discipline and making sure your family survives.
[00:21:04]  And I don't think a lot of Americans are even mentally have even gone through the mental exercise of thinking, what does that look like?
[00:21:10]  Yeah, clearly that's the case.
[00:21:12]  We've never really had war domestically since the Civil War, right?
[00:21:17]  You know, World War II didn't touch our shores.
[00:21:19]  It was those people dying over there.
[00:21:21]  You know, it was easy for people to say that.
[00:21:24]  Vietnam, et cetera, even this war, it's those people over there.
[00:21:27]  Except what's different now is that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz will have devastating global economic repercussions, including the loss of urea, fertilizer, phosphate fertilizers because of the loss of sulfuric acid that's necessary for their production.
[00:21:45]  We're looking at crop yields strongly declining over the next year.
[00:21:51]  And also, don't forget that some of the social Tinderbox was put in place by Trump having ICE agents aggressively in the streets in Minnesota shooting and killing Americans while wearing masks and having zero accountability.
[00:22:08]  People on the left have not forgotten that.
[00:22:11]  And they shouldn't, because that was blatantly unconstitutional.
[00:22:15]  And let me ask you this: there's a risk scenario here where Trump escalates this war to World War III, and then he pulls a Zelensky and he cancels the elections, the midterms, and he cancels the First Amendment somehow, which is what Zelensky did, and then just starts shutting down or arresting independent media.
[00:22:34]  It could be people like you and I. In that scenario, there could be a lot of domestic uprisings, especially among some Democrats who have been Trump haters for a long time.
[00:22:48]  If Trump cancels elections, it's like, I feel like all bets are off and we could end up in a civil war or at least regionally.
[00:22:58]  What are your thoughts on that possible scenario?
[00:23:01]  I mean, I think that if you're, if you're looking at this with a rational analytical mind, you can see that these scenarios are very, I'm not going to say that necessarily likely, but they're, they're definitely that they're, they're possible.
[00:23:17]  They're absolutely possible.
[00:23:19]  I, I hope and I pray that they don't come about, but these are real things.
[00:23:25]  The tension in our nation is, you know, I'm 40 this year.
[00:23:33]  So I'm not, you know, I'm not looking back on, you know, 75 years of living and like, oh, I remember when that happened and that happened.
[00:23:38]  But, you know, I've lived enough to have a sense of what this nation feels like.
[00:23:42]  And I think that the tension in our nation is now higher than it has ever been.
[00:23:48]  I mean, I feel like that even a couple of years ago that you, you were, the nation was divided, but it was divided into a couple bigger groups, right?
[00:23:55]  You had the, you know, kind of, okay, hey, people that believe that the election was stolen.
[00:24:00]  You had people, you know, that was a big group.
[00:24:01]  Okay, hey, we need, we need election justice.
[00:24:03]  We need to have audits.
[00:24:04]  We need to have justice.
[00:24:06]  You had the people that said, okay, hey, that's a lie.
[00:24:08]  The election wasn't stolen.
[00:24:09]  Okay, but still, though, maybe America was divided into a couple large groups.
[00:24:13]  As of right now, I think it's absolutely by design.
[00:24:15]  I feel like our country has been splintered into dozens of different groups where even, I mean, even looking within the kind of so-called MAGA or so-called right, it is so splintered now that that to me is concerning.
[00:24:32]  I remember there's a little while ago when I was talking to, I interviewed Michael Yan, who I know that you've interviewed many times.
[00:24:37]  Actually, funny enough, he woke me up at like three in the morning last night, called me from Japan.
[00:24:42]  So I didn't answer him.
[00:24:44]  I was like, why is my phone ringing?
[00:24:45]  Look at it was Michael Yan saying, hello from Japan.
[00:24:48]  Yeah, that sounds like Michael.
[00:24:49]  Yeah, he's absolutely.
[00:24:50]  I just talked to him yesterday.
[00:24:52]  He's in Japan.
[00:24:55]  But one thing that he said really stuck with me is I was asking, what do you think is going to happen?
[00:24:58]  Or when do you think it's going to happen?
[00:25:00]  He said, look, he goes, he said, don't pay attention to the one spark that causes the forest fire.
[00:25:07]  He's like, pay attention to conditions.
[00:25:09]  He says, look at, okay, here's there's 30 different conditions.
[00:25:12]  Any one of these conditions could lead to the same spark that then starts a forest fire.
[00:25:16]  And that's where I feel like that we're at right now.
[00:25:19]  I don't know what it was, what it's going to be.
[00:25:21]  I think that we're in a place now where our own government, which actually this isn't any, it's no different than it has been since almost the beginning of this country, but false flags on our own soil are very, very real.
[00:25:34]  It's very possible.
[00:25:36]  So could there be some sort of false flag terror attack that gets blamed on Iran as a way of justifying the war?
[00:25:44]  Absolutely.
[00:25:45]  Could there be a legitimate terror attack?
[00:25:47]  Could there be a, you know, a series of cells of Chinese and maybe Iranian or who knows that actually do have a legitimate terrorist attack in this nation?
[00:25:58]  Absolutely.
[00:25:59]  So we're at a place where all these conditions are there.
[00:26:04]  And so that's what makes me feel really nervous, not to mention looking at what's happening with AI, looking at what's happening with Palantir.
[00:26:13]  On one of my live shows just over the weekend, I played, there was a two-minute clip of, I think it was the DOD's head of their AI program that was outlining exactly how the Palantir kill chain works.
[00:26:27]  And some of the points I was making in that show and talking about this is like, we're looking at this and it's showing us, he's showing us literally the Palantir kill chain, identifying targets, tracking insane levels of detail.
[00:26:39]  Not to mention, it's like, do you really think that the DOD is going to show us like the kind of the full capacity of their technology?
[00:26:45]  No, there's no way.
[00:26:47]  Right.
[00:26:47]  But even looking at like that, you know, one thing that I've always been concerned of because I'm a student of history is whenever a Nation, whenever the leadership of a nation has the ability to exert insane amounts of control over its people, it oftentimes happens.
[00:27:06]  And even if someone's watching and even if someone is, say, an ardent Trump fan and they're saying, look, I support Trump 100%, I'll say, okay, fine, but what happens if the next person gets in?
[00:27:19]  What happens if the next person gets in?
[00:27:21]  He has the same keys to that Palantir kill chain.
[00:27:24]  What happens if that gets turned against the American people?
[00:27:27]  And that's something that is frightening because if you look at a lot of the warfare footage coming out of Ukraine, it's not the same war that was being fought 30, 40 years ago.
[00:27:37]  This is warfare that even a skilled operator here in America would have a hard time countering.
[00:27:42]  I mean, how many people have go ahead?
[00:27:44]  Yeah.
[00:27:45]  Not only that, but remember during the ICE raids in Minnesota, you had top Trump officials labeling the Americans who were killed as domestic terrorists and claiming after they shot that guy, I forgot his name, but after they shot the guy, they claimed that, well, he had a gun and he intended to come in and have a massacre and kill everybody.
[00:28:07]  They just made that up, but they declare you a domestic terrorist, which means that they, in their minds, they don't have to abide by any rule of law whatsoever.
[00:28:16]  And the Trump administration is now becoming famous for abandoning any law.
[00:28:21]  They just do whatever the hell they want, internationally or domestically.
[00:28:25]  So I wouldn't even put it past Trump to use AI Palantir targeting, you know, with suicide drones or whatever, taking out Americans in our own cities.
[00:28:36]  That's well within the possibility of the mindset of this administration now, unfortunately.
[00:28:42]  Unfortunately, yeah.
[00:28:44]  Unfortunately, it is.
[00:28:45]  If you look at what's been done, right?
[00:28:46]  You look at, I'm sure you probably saw Joe Kent's resignation.
[00:28:49]  Yes.
[00:28:50]  I mean, that's got it right here, actually.
[00:28:53]  Yeah.
[00:28:55]  I was, I was literally, I read that to my wife probably an hour ago, and I had to fight, I fought back tears reading about him talking about his wife and losing his wife.
[00:29:05]  Yeah.
[00:29:06]  And, you know, these are very real scenarios.
[00:29:11]  But one thing that also concerns me is I'm in the, you could say that I'm fighting in a war of my own, as you are too, which is an information war.
[00:29:21]  And, you know, thankfully, there have been some opportunities for us to have free speech.
[00:29:25]  Obviously, you're building an infrastructure that I think has a very strong capability in terms of surviving attacks on free speech, right?
[00:29:36]  You're not hoping that Elon Musk isn't going to censor you.
[00:29:39]  You're anticipating that he will.
[00:29:41]  And actually, I mean, I just saw this too.
[00:29:42]  I put out an Epstein video.
[00:29:44]  I sent it to you before the show.
[00:29:45]  You probably had time to watch it, but I put out a three and a half minute Epstein video.
[00:29:50]  And that video was so censored on Twitter.
[00:29:54]  It is incredible.
[00:29:55]  I mean, I had people like John Rich sharing it multiple times, General Flynn sharing it, Kim.com sharing it.
[00:30:01]  People with collectively probably 10 million followers sharing this video.
[00:30:05]  The videos got 300,000 Views.
[00:30:08]  I tried to view the video.
[00:30:09]  It wouldn't let me bring it up until I logged into X.
[00:30:12]  So it got marked as sensitive content.
[00:30:16]  Yeah.
[00:30:16]  Yeah.
[00:30:17]  Actually, I had to send it to you a couple of times because on the messaging app that you and I were using, the first time I sent it to you, it refused to send it to you.
[00:30:24]  Oh, wow.
[00:30:24]  It actually wouldn't even send the Twitter link to you.
[00:30:27]  Wow.
[00:30:27]  Yeah, I tried to open it before the show here, wouldn't let me open it.
[00:30:30]  So I'll have to check it out when I get back to my desktop.
[00:30:34]  Yeah.
[00:30:34]  But what really concerns me is that what you see happening with the recent announcement from, I think it was Brendan Carr, if I remember correctly, his name, he was the head of the FCC, talking about these media agent, media companies and broadcast networks that are sharing AI footage of the war, saying that they're going to strip the broadcast licenses of these broadcasting agencies, whether it's ABC or CNN or Fox or doesn't really matter, right?
[00:31:01]  If they're sharing what they say is fake news, so they are saying it's AI, but this is really frightening because who becomes the arbiter of truth?
[00:31:09]  Yeah, right.
[00:31:09]  I know.
[00:31:10]  How do you know how do you know what's AI and what's not?
[00:31:12]  Any video the White House doesn't like, they immediately label it AI.
[00:31:16]  And also all U.S. warplanes that fall out of the sky are only from friendly fire.
[00:31:24]  Yes.
[00:31:25]  Right.
[00:31:25]  Right.
[00:31:26]  Yeah.
[00:31:27]  Yeah.
[00:31:27]  I mean, and all videos of Bibi Danyahoo are not AI.
[00:31:32]  Right, right, right.
[00:31:33]  Right.
[00:31:33]  I mean, just clearly, we're just being subjected to psychological operations daily.
[00:31:41]  But you're right.
[00:31:41]  You bring up a good point.
[00:31:42]  Who's the arbiter of what is truth?
[00:31:45]  And, you know, the AI videos, as you know, I've created an AI avatar, Mr. Fu Koff.
[00:31:52]  I watched it the other day.
[00:31:53]  I watched that one.

=== Who Is The Arbiter of Truth (10:52) ===

[00:31:54]  Yeah.
[00:31:55]  But of course, it's obvious that that's a caricature.
[00:31:57]  Like that's a fictional character on purpose.
[00:32:01]  But it shows you how convincing AI videos can be.
[00:32:05]  And by the way, I rendered that video locally, not on some online service.
[00:32:10]  That was all created with my own hardware, which means even if I'm censored, I can create those kinds of videos with my own workstations.
[00:32:19]  So now I'm using it in good faith, you know, for comedy purposes or educational, but other people will use it in bad faith.
[00:32:27]  And I wouldn't be surprised if the White House will have like a fake AI content generation division to put out fake stuff and call it real.
[00:32:38]  I wouldn't be surprised.
[00:32:40]  Exactly.
[00:32:41]  And again, who becomes the arbiter of truth?
[00:32:43]  And it's a serious question because it used to be that if you saw it, you could believe it, right?
[00:32:50]  You see it, you believe it.
[00:32:51]  But that's no longer the case anymore.
[00:32:55]  And there's part of me that thinks as I take a step back and I look at everything that's happening, right?
[00:33:01]  Looking at Iran, like Iran, as much as you might think, okay, well, this is Iran as this independent nation that is against this globalist or against this, you know, this Rockefeller Rothschild banking system, et cetera.
[00:33:13]  Iran was just as kind of neck deep in the COVID and the vaccine operations and the lockdown.
[00:33:19]  So they were just on board, as much on board with the globalist stuff as Israel and as America.
[00:33:26]  And so there's also part of me that's wondering, are the controllers up above all of this?
[00:33:31]  Because I think that to look at, say, Israel as an example and think, oh, it's Israel that's doing these things.
[00:33:37]  I think Israel is a proxy of just other private, powerful, hidden, probably satanic groups, just like our own military industrial complex is the army, just like the city of London is the banking arm.
[00:33:48]  So that's one of the other things that really kind of concerns me with all this is that is this war, is the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz, is all of this part of an acceleration towards their agenda 2030?
[00:34:01]  Absolutely.
[00:34:02]  Because it's brilliant.
[00:34:04]  If that's their plan, it's absolutely brilliant.
[00:34:06]  think about it during COVID, you know, Trump oversaw the approval and military distribution of biological weapons to be injected into the American people that killed over 1.5 million Americans by good estimates.
[00:34:22]  But that didn't kill enough for the globalists, right?
[00:34:25]  Because they really want to eliminate maybe billions of people.
[00:34:29]  So now here's another way to do it.
[00:34:32]  Trick Trump into waging war, shut down the Strait of Hormuz, cut off the energy supply of Western civilization, the natural gas, the oil, the helium, the sulfur, the sulfuric acid, the fertilizer, and just let billions starve or let, you know, let the uprising begin.
[00:34:51]  I mean, I think you're right, Seth.
[00:34:53]  This is a top-level anti-human situation that has been put into place.
[00:34:59]  It's been engineered.
[00:35:02]  And I think that one thing that I try to do with all of this is I try to not focus too hard on the isolated incidents.
[00:35:11]  I try to look at patterns because it's really easy to lie about a single event or a couple of events.
[00:35:18]  It's much more difficult to lie with patterns across history or patterns occurring.
[00:35:24]  And so that's why I'm always trying to kind of keep an eye on, okay, what are the patterns that I'm seeing?
[00:35:29]  And, you know, one thing is, you know, I'm sure you recall there is one of the videos of Klaus Schwab talking about the threat of a cyber attack that shuts down everything.
[00:35:40]  I remember him saying how it would make the kind of the COVID pandemic look like kind of nothing compared to what that could cause.
[00:35:47]  But then you now see they're talking about they're warning about the Iranians targeting the banking system.
[00:35:53]  So how easy would it be?
[00:35:55]  And it doesn't matter whether Iran does it, whether the CIA does it, whether Mossad does it, whether the CCP does it.
[00:36:01]  It actually doesn't matter because any one of those nations can be used as a tool to collapse a banking system.
[00:36:08]  What happens if there is that?
[00:36:10]  We know that we know that the dollar is dying.
[00:36:13]  We know that there is a massive war built on the back of the petrodollar.
[00:36:16]  We know, though, that they knew that it was going to happen.
[00:36:19]  It's a fiat currency.
[00:36:20]  It has a life cycle that's never changed throughout history.
[00:36:22]  Fiat currencies, they come and they go, right?
[00:36:26]  Different than this 10 ounce bar of silver right here.
[00:36:30]  This will never be digital.
[00:36:32]  It'll never be controlled.
[00:36:33]  I can go bury it in my backyard.
[00:36:35]  Nobody will ever find it, right?
[00:36:36]  I like that about silver.
[00:36:38]  But how easy is it for them to say, okay, you know what?
[00:36:41]  I think it's time for us to roll out that CBDC.
[00:36:44]  Let's go ahead and do one of these nationwide banking system hacks on the American banking system.
[00:36:49]  That's going to trigger a global stock market wipeout.
[00:36:52]  That's going to trigger the global financial reset.
[00:36:55]  We're going to then bring in the central bank digital currency.
[00:36:57]  All of these things are possible.
[00:36:59]  And the thing is, is when you have the theater of war, it's a theater of war, right?
[00:37:03]  They have the script.
[00:37:04]  They can have whatever character they want to walk in on stage and assassinate the other character if they need it to happen.
[00:37:10]  And they can then use that to bring us closer to their end goal.
[00:37:14]  And I think that by now, whether you've been studying these things for a very long time, like I have, or even much longer for yourself, or whether you're just coming into it because you found the recent Epstein files and you're like, oh my gosh, all those QAnon people were right.
[00:37:27]  They are eating babies.
[00:37:29]  They are trafficking and torturing children.
[00:37:31]  This stuff's all real.
[00:37:33]  What you realize is that at the top of this system, there is a very small group of very evil people that I believe are probably not even fully human or even human at all, that have an immense amount of control they've amassed over millennia that they want to be able to have immortality through technology, through transhumanism.
[00:37:51]  Go listen to Jared Kushner talking about his generation being the last ones to ever die.
[00:37:56]  And if that's the case, if they're able to achieve immortality, well, if some of our population has immortality and others don't, then there's others that don't have immortality are just going to be these useless eaters consuming the earth's resources.
[00:38:11]  So those people definitely need to be kind of called, right?
[00:38:14]  And so that's the thing that I'm trying to look at with all of this is I'm trying not to get too caught up in the fighting between Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens and this other person.
[00:38:25]  Of course, I'm following and I've got my own opinions on those things, but I think that the bigger thing is that this is all scripted.
[00:38:33]  And I think that a lot of these things are not necessarily by the people involved in these kind of scandals themselves, but I think from the higher level, a lot of these are intentional scandals and distractions to keep people focused on this over here.
[00:38:46]  So they don't see that coming from behind them, they don't see it is this global technocratic system that's going to come in and strip away everyone's freedoms.
[00:38:55]  And the people that are fighting, the people that are the useful idiots they're fighting for, whether they're fighting for the Zionists, whether they're fighting for the communists, it doesn't matter because oftentimes they're the first ones to get the gun to the back of their head up against a wall, right?
[00:39:07]  And that's what we don't realize is that fundamentally this is a war against humanity.
[00:39:12]  And I really try to pull myself into that place from looking at what's happening and remind myself of that, that even though, say, you have a neighbor that has the different political sign than you, you know, that person is just as much a target for elimination as my own family.
[00:39:26]  And so is I, am I going to try to focus my energy on fighting the person that has a different political viewpoint than me?
[00:39:33]  Or am I going to try to help that person and those around me see that, you know what, this is humanity versus a small group of elite satanic pedophiles that want to kill us all?
[00:39:43]  Because I think that's the only hope that I have is us as a human race realizing that and doing something about it.
[00:39:49]  So Seth, what you just outlined there, which was really brilliantly stated, that's like that segment was just a great summary of where we are.
[00:39:58]  And I imagine that if you could visit yourself 10 years ago and hear what you just said, you wouldn't have believed it.
[00:40:07]  Right.
[00:40:08]  And even I wouldn't have believed it because we've all learned, usually through hard lessons along the way of where we are.
[00:40:17]  But here's the thing.
[00:40:18]  So you just laid it out brilliantly.
[00:40:19]  And I think our audience obviously is completely up to speed on those things you just said.
[00:40:24]  The typical person, the typical American is nowhere near that level of understanding.
[00:40:31]  And I would imagine even some in your preparedness community, even though they may totally agree with, you know, the importance of like, let's be ready, you know, for a three-day hurricane or a superstorm in New York or whatever.
[00:40:46]  I would imagine there are some people even in your own group that don't yet have enough knowledge and experience to walk through all the things that you just laid out.
[00:40:56]  And so there's this gap between where people function and the way the world actually works.
[00:41:03]  Because I believe that what you just described is accurate about the way the world actually works.
[00:41:08]  And as long as your internal map, for those people who aren't up to speed, if their internal map is lacking the detail of what's actually driving things, they will never be able to get to their destination because their map is incomplete.
[00:41:22]  You see what I mean?
[00:41:24]  So how exactly.
[00:41:26]  Yeah, go ahead.
[00:41:26]  Your comments.
[00:41:27]  Oh, no, I agree completely.
[00:41:29]  Or it's like, you know, if you go back into, say, Tony Robbins, right?
[00:41:32]  You know, looking at or even NLP or psycho cybernetics and looking at, you know, your beliefs shape your reality.
[00:41:38]  Your beliefs even shape, you know, you on a, on a genetic level, you know, your, your thinking in your mind can literally change your own DNA.
[00:41:46]  And this is known, right?
[00:41:47]  And so, you know, let alone your beliefs about, you know, oh, I read the Schofield Bible.
[00:41:53]  So this is the role of Israel, right?
[00:41:56]  Like, you know, there's, there's propaganda campaigns that could have been inserted into the consciousness of humanity 500 years ago.
[00:42:03]  Oh, yeah.
[00:42:04]  Right.
[00:42:04]  So we're still arguing about whether the election was stolen in 2020.
[00:42:07]  We're not even touching upon whether there were advanced civilizations, whether Tartaria was real, whether there were giants walking among us, whether they're like humanity has been pushed so far into a cage.
[00:42:19]  But, you know, I think that part of it, and this is what I'm trying to do with the, with the access that I have to, to reach people, you know, because the podcast has grown, you know, we've grown really, really well.
[00:42:34]  Actually, I think in in, I think it was in February between the video content and articles, I think we probably hit 15 million impressions for Land of America.
[00:42:44]  You know, so we're, we're really growing.

=== Connecting Underground Systems and Giants (06:10) ===

[00:42:46]  And so what I'm trying to do with this is I'm trying to really pivot and not come at this from a left-right perspective, not come at this from a divisive place, but trying to help kind of walk people through that narrative I just gave you.
[00:43:00]  And part of what I'm doing with that and part of what really shaped that for me is I interviewed a woman maybe about, I think it was about three or four, three weeks ago, I think I published an interview.
[00:43:11]  Her name's Max Lowen.
[00:43:12]  And I'm not sure if you're familiar with her, but she was a, she was an SRA victim.
[00:43:18]  She was trafficked under the underground tunnels in the Vatican.
[00:43:23]  She was trafficked by the Jesuits.
[00:43:25]  You know, she had a, she was, you know, in human most dangerous game hunting parties.
[00:43:30]  And, you know, so I think that people like that, like I'm trying my best to try to help bring their voices forward because we're going to have a hard time finding someone that's at the top of that system that's going to come out and become a whistleblower of the system.
[00:43:43]  No.
[00:43:44]  Right.
[00:43:44]  Like, look what happened.
[00:43:45]  The guy, I forget his name.
[00:43:46]  He was the German banker that talked about what he saw at some of these parties and he realized they were eating.
[00:43:51]  I'm pretty sure that guy was killed.
[00:43:53]  I think he was living in Florida at the time.
[00:43:54]  I think that he was killed.
[00:43:56]  But there are people that have seen the inside of this system that they can tell us a lot.
[00:44:02]  I think we should be listening.
[00:44:04]  Actually, I've got another interview coming out this Saturday.
[00:44:07]  It's a two-part interview because it's so heavy.
[00:44:09]  It's a two-hour long interview.
[00:44:10]  I split into two parts with a guy named J.R. Sweet.
[00:44:13]  And I'm not sure, have you ever come across J.R. Sweet before, Mike?
[00:44:16]  Not familiar.
[00:44:17]  So he has a website, which is called MormonMonarch.com.
[00:44:21]  And JR was from a very young age.
[00:44:24]  He was born into a royal bloodline that traced back to a certain king over in Europe.
[00:44:30]  And from a very, very young age, he was subjected to satanic ritual abuse.
[00:44:35]  He, a lot of it, he experienced underground at Disneyland.
[00:44:39]  So he gets, he gets, oh, it's, it's like, yeah, he, he, in the interview I had with him, I mean, it was one of the most difficult and darkest interviews I've ever done.
[00:44:48]  And not to say that it was about this pure evil.
[00:44:51]  There's actually a lot of hope inside of that.
[00:44:53]  And you can see his struggle.
[00:44:55]  But yeah, he was part of human hunting parties.
[00:44:58]  He was, literally, in my interview with him, he walks through basically how Disneyland apparatus works and how the intelligence agencies have these underground apparatuses and bases as part of Disney, where they would stop a ride midway.
[00:45:14]  His uncle, who was his handler, who was CIA, would take him off the ride and they would go in.
[00:45:19]  And he described one scene, which is so shocking where he's at Disney.
[00:45:25]  His uncle takes him off one of the rides.
[00:45:27]  I think he was maybe six or seven years old.
[00:45:29]  They go into an area underground.
[00:45:31]  They've got cages full of children.
[00:45:34]  And he says, yeah, I'll have to share.
[00:45:37]  I'll make sure I share it with you.
[00:45:38]  I mean, it was mind blowing and he's, why do they stop the ride?
[00:45:43]  Is that how they snatch the kids?
[00:45:45]  So what he was saying is that what he was describing is that I think this is the Disneyland in maybe Anaheim is a California one, but actually that underneath of it, there's actually a massive intelligence base so that the CIA has a base that's actually part of Underground Disney.
[00:46:02]  And this sounds so wild, right?
[00:46:05]  It sounds like, okay, this is crazy.
[00:46:07]  How could this actually be?
[00:46:08]  But then when you realize that all this stuff is connected, it's like, it actually makes sense.
[00:46:13]  You look at even Disney, it's like, okay, why is Disney putting Illuminati symbolism in their shows?
[00:46:19]  Why are they putting nudity?
[00:46:21]  All the things that Disney's hidden in it.
[00:46:22]  It's like, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
[00:46:24]  The answer is because it's a small world after all.
[00:46:28]  Exactly.
[00:46:29]  Right?
[00:46:30]  Yeah.
[00:46:30]  So anyway, I'll finish that story.
[00:46:32]  So basically, he described it, go under, and they told him, they said, hey, one of these kids has been giving us a lot of trouble lately.
[00:46:38]  And he thought it was maybe an older boy that was kind of really aggressive.
[00:46:41]  It was a young girl.
[00:46:42]  And he said, so they underground in Disney, they picked out this young girl.
[00:46:47]  They took her into a room.
[00:46:49]  They strapped her down in a certain kind of a theater they had set up for sacrifices.
[00:46:54]  He said they had an altar.
[00:46:56]  They strapped her down to the altar.
[00:46:58]  They slit her throat.
[00:47:00]  And he said that they had a special table where the blood would drain off into both sides and it would run down into a white cup.
[00:47:07]  And so he said it was white because the contrast of the blood against the white cup was really kind of obviously very strong.
[00:47:14]  And they consumed the blood of this.
[00:47:16]  And so he ended up, as he describes in his story, he ended up becoming a CIA MK Ultra sleeper assassin.
[00:47:25]  And that was his job.
[00:47:27]  And the crazy thing is, is he didn't know any of this until about 2017.
[00:47:31]  All of his memories started coming back in 2017.
[00:47:34]  Well, I didn't realize this interview was going to go in this direction, by the way.
[00:47:38]  Sorry.
[00:47:39]  It's getting a little grotesque.
[00:47:43]  But I understand what you're saying.
[00:47:47]  And this is a man you've interviewed.
[00:47:49]  Mormon, what was his website?
[00:47:51]  Mormon monarch.
[00:47:53]  Mormon, yeah, he has an entire diary on there where he walks through.
[00:47:57]  He has pictures of him as a child.
[00:47:59]  He has documentation.
[00:48:01]  I mean, it's like it's all there.
[00:48:03]  And I've unfortunately gone down this rabbit hole far too much.
[00:48:07]  And maybe I should have given, maybe Mike, before you put the show up, you can give someone, you can give a kind of like a viewer discretion advised.
[00:48:15]  But I guess the bigger point that I was making is that when you start to see this stuff, you realize that the stories that we've heard of these shadow, the shadowy cabal that's sacrificing and doing evil things and casting spells.
[00:48:28]  I mean, it's really, it's like if you believe, if you believe in Satan, like from the perspective, if you believe that Satan exists, right?
[00:48:35]  Which I do, like I believe that Satan exists.
[00:48:38]  I'm not an atheist, right?
[00:48:39]  I believe there's God in everything.
[00:48:42]  If you believe that Satan exists, if you believe that he has a certain amount of control over this world, then wouldn't it make sense that these kinds of evil things would be happening in the power centers of this world where in a lot of ways, the world that Satan has been basically ruling?

=== Testing Your Ready Score Today (04:27) ===

[00:48:57]  And so then you understand it's like, actually, yeah, it makes sense why there's this bioweapon jab program.
[00:49:04]  It makes sense why they're mutilating children.
[00:49:06]  All these things sort of make sense if you can just get to that place where you realize that's what, that's the power structure that runs this world.
[00:49:13]  Well, that's, yeah, that's true.
[00:49:14]  And as far as the Disney link, I have noticed over the years that especially in Florida, seems like some large portion of people who are arrested and charged with child trafficking work for Disney.
[00:49:29]  You know, Disney World, I guess in that case, Orlando or wherever it is.
[00:49:33]  But let's shift gears here because that's gross.
[00:49:37]  Let's talk about your ready score.
[00:49:40]  And because none of us were ready for that segment on Disney.
[00:49:45]  So let's talk about your ready score.
[00:49:49]  So as I understand it, you've got an online scoring system that people can self-score the readiness.
[00:49:55]  You know, this was part of, yeah, part of what, again, as I mentioned, one of my goals and my missions, I think is actually what you've been doing as well is I want to do whatever I can to help more people in America, also around the world, but is help more people be more prepared.
[00:50:11]  And because if every family in America had a 30-day food supply set aside, then they couldn't create food riots after two days of grocery stores being shut down.
[00:50:21]  Right.
[00:50:22]  So these are the, you know, Kissinger highlighted it perfectly talking about controlling the food, the money, you know, the energy, et cetera.
[00:50:28]  That's how you get people to bow and to bend a knee and then sign up for their vaccine passport to get their loaf of GMO cricket protein bread.
[00:50:36]  Right.
[00:50:37]  So one of the things that really hit me, and this has happened during the winter storm, the ice storm that we recently had coming swept across America, that most people that die in these kinds of storms, they don't die because of the storm itself.
[00:50:52]  They die because of a lack of preparedness.
[00:50:54]  If you look at the Texas Freeze, the people that died in the Texas Freeze, they died not because of the storm, by and large.
[00:51:01]  They died because they weren't prepared for it.
[00:51:03]  They didn't have a backup heating source.
[00:51:05]  They didn't have backup power.
[00:51:07]  They were reliant on the tap water coming out.
[00:51:10]  So when that ice storm shut down the grid infrastructure and they can no longer have access to water, right?
[00:51:16]  That became an issue.
[00:51:17]  And so part of what we wanted to do, so we launched readyscore.com.
[00:51:21]  And what it is, is there's two different tests on there.
[00:51:23]  There's a 90-second test and about an eight or nine-minute test.
[00:51:27]  And basically what it does is it, let's just say that someone came to you and said, hey, Mike, can you help me just assess where my preparation is at?
[00:51:35]  You would say, okay, hey, Seth, do you have a way of filtering your own water?
[00:51:39]  How much food do you have stored?
[00:51:40]  Do you have water stored?
[00:51:42]  Do you have a way of protecting yourself?
[00:51:43]  Do you have medication, et cetera?
[00:51:45]  You'd ask these questions.
[00:51:46]  And that's what we do with the ready score is that we ask people this different questions, including where do you live, right?
[00:51:51]  If you live in a high rise in New York City, it doesn't matter how much food and water you have.
[00:51:56]  You're screwed in a grid down scenario, right?
[00:51:59]  And so that's what we build it out for.
[00:52:00]  So people, they take the test, they get to the end of it, and it actually gives them their ready score.
[00:52:05]  It says, okay, you are a 63 out of 100.
[00:52:10]  But not just that, it says, okay, we've broken up preparedness into, I think, 11 different categories of preparedness that we've identified.
[00:52:17]  And it will actually show you that, okay, in these seven categories, you're basically a 10 out of 10.
[00:52:23]  But, you know, in this one category, you're a three out of 10, right?
[00:52:26]  You're still relying on, you don't have any kind of backup energy or you don't have any way of defending yourself.
[00:52:31]  And so the idea with this is that kind of like you get a credit score, which I think is a complete rigged system anyway.
[00:52:37]  It gives you a score where it gives you an assessment.
[00:52:39]  Okay, hey, this is your ready score.
[00:52:41]  These are where your gaps are.
[00:52:42]  And it actually gives you steps.
[00:52:44]  Okay, here's how you can improve.
[00:52:45]  We recommend you, hey, go buy a Sawyer life straw.
[00:52:49]  If you live in Florida and you're reliant on tap water and you have no way of filtering water, go spend 30 bucks and get a life straw.
[00:52:56]  Like that could literally be the one thing that saves your family from drinking creek water because you don't have water because the system's down.
[00:53:03]  And then your eight-year-old daughter gets some sort of waterborne disease.
[00:53:07]  So you're just one AR-15 away from 90 from scoring 90.
[00:53:15]  It's like, this problem is solvable.
[00:53:18]  No, but I like it.
[00:53:19]  So the website for that is, is it readyscore.com?
[00:53:22]  Yeah, just readyscore.com.

=== Improving Your Survival Approach Now (04:38) ===

[00:53:24]  Okay.
[00:53:24]  Is that up now?
[00:53:26]  Yeah, yeah, it's live right now.
[00:53:28]  Okay.
[00:53:28]  I think we've already had maybe close to seven or eight thousand people that have taken the test so far.
[00:53:34]  Okay.
[00:53:34]  How ready?
[00:53:34]  And they've gotten their assessment.
[00:53:36]  I like it.
[00:53:37]  I like this.
[00:53:38]  Good idea.
[00:53:39]  Okay.
[00:53:40]  Yeah.
[00:53:40]  Very cool.
[00:53:43]  Next, have like a, you know, like an AI survival chat bot right there.
[00:53:48]  Yeah.
[00:53:49]  That would be even more fun.
[00:53:52]  And it can, it can condemn you for not having enough water or whatever.
[00:53:56]  It's like an AI chat bot that won't let you get away with anything.
[00:54:02]  Okay.
[00:54:03]  Yeah.
[00:54:03]  So tell us, since we're about to wrap up this interview, also, tell us about at SethHolehouse.com, your main website.
[00:54:12]  You mentioned your show.
[00:54:14]  You've got the ARC community project.
[00:54:18]  You've got Prep Like Noah.
[00:54:19]  That's your book coming out also, right?
[00:54:22]  Do you want to talk about that?
[00:54:24]  Yeah.
[00:54:24]  Yeah.
[00:54:25]  So that's coming out mid-May.
[00:54:26]  I don't know the exact date yet.
[00:54:28]  The idea is that we're calling it in the website page is preplikenoa.com.
[00:54:34]  And we're just calling it, it's the kind of the prepping guide for non-preppers.
[00:54:38]  And that's the idea with it.
[00:54:40]  It's really, you know, like for yourself, you would read it.
[00:54:44]  Maybe you take a few things away from it.
[00:54:46]  But the intention, again, is to helping someone that feels overwhelmed with preparedness.
[00:54:51]  Maybe they feel like, okay, where do I start?
[00:54:54]  Or maybe they're well into the journey, but they still need some helpful guides.
[00:54:58]  That's the whole point of Prep Like Noah.
[00:54:59]  It's kind of looking at, okay, who was the original prepper?
[00:55:02]  It was Noah.
[00:55:03]  I mean, he spent 100 years building an ark when everyone around him was doing all kinds of evil things and who knows what they were doing, right?
[00:55:11]  You know, bestiality and mixing of human DNA.
[00:55:13]  The Nephilim were probably raping people for all we know.
[00:55:16]  I mean, that's the world that he lived in, but he followed his divine intuition.
[00:55:21]  He followed what, you know, God's word and he built this oak.
[00:55:24]  So in my opinion, it's if you want to be prepared, let's go to the, like, to the OG prepper, which was Noah.
[00:55:29]  And so we're kind of looking at his story and using some of the lessons from his story to look at how we can approach that, you know, very rationally now.
[00:55:38]  But a big part of it is that kind of helping to reframe the word prepping, right?
[00:55:43]  So it's not just about collecting and like kind of having all the guns and ammo and everything, but it's also about realizing that I think that preparedness is actually just getting back to living in a traditional way, right?
[00:55:54]  So our grandparents who lived through the Great Depression or whatnot, they wouldn't say they're preppers, right?
[00:56:00]  That's just how they lived.
[00:56:01]  And I think that's one of the things.
[00:56:02]  If you look at the social engineering that's happening, I think our society and everything has been designed in a way that we've been made intentionally by these controllers to be less and less resilient, less and less self-reliant.
[00:56:15]  And so it's really a much more of a lifestyle shift of not prepping out of fear, but I think trying to live in a way that like we're human, actually, like live how God want us to live in abundance with nature, looking to permaculture, animal husbandry, community building, how to bake your own bread, all the different things.
[00:56:33]  And so the, you know, Prep Like Noah, the purpose of that book is to really help kind of walk people through in a way that is easy to understand.
[00:56:40]  So it's the kind of book that, say, you've been trying to get your grandma or your mom to be more prepared, but she's like, has a stigma towards it.
[00:56:49]  Oh, you're a doomsday bunker kind of person.
[00:56:51]  This is the book that's like, okay, just give this a read, right?
[00:56:53]  It walks through the threats that we're currently facing as a world.
[00:56:56]  It gives a lot of historical examples of times when we thought that, hey, we're invincible as America, then the Great Depression hit or the Dust Bowl or World War II or whatever it is.
[00:57:06]  And just kind of walks people through the importance of preparedness, but more so from the perspective of like, this is how we should be living.
[00:57:13]  It's not just about becoming a prepper.
[00:57:14]  It's about living in a way that our lifestyle inherently is baked into our lifestyle, that we're outside the system and therefore we cannot be controlled by the system, that we're not being forced into taking the mark of the beast system that we can actually survive outside of that.
[00:57:29]  And that's one of the intentions behind that.
[00:57:30]  When I was a child visiting my grandparents in the Midwest, They always had a root cellar and all the shelves, you know, you would open it up.
[00:57:42]  It was also a tornado shelter.
[00:57:43]  You'd open it up, you go downstairs and you're in a cooler root cellar with like the walls were reinforced with railroad ties, you know, and then there were shelves and you have all the jars.
[00:57:54]  And like my grandmother, you know, she would plant in the spring, harvest in the summer, can, can, can, like crazy.

=== Creating Tools to Help People Prepare (06:05) ===

[00:58:03]  And then that's what you would eat in the fall and the winter.
[00:58:05]  They never said, I'm a survivalist.
[00:58:07]  Exactly.
[00:58:08]  It was just like, of course we're going to store food.
[00:58:11]  Otherwise, we all die.
[00:58:14]  You know, I mean, this, this is, these are common skills back in the day.
[00:58:18]  So I like your approach to that.
[00:58:21]  They're totally common skills.
[00:58:23]  And living off-grid is a critical skill right now.
[00:58:29]  And of course, I like to add decentralized technology to that mix, you know, to have local AI or even eventually like local robotics and local power storage as the technology becomes capable of doing that.
[00:58:44]  We're not quite there yet on some of those.
[00:58:46]  But Seth, any final thoughts before we wrap this up today?
[00:58:49]  This has been fascinating already.
[00:58:52]  Well, one thing is I just want to thank you for what you've done.
[00:58:57]  I've learned so much from you.
[00:58:59]  I mean, even another example, my wife picked up a panhandle that was actually sitting over on one of our flames.
[00:59:08]  She didn't realize it.
[00:59:08]  She picked up a hot pan, burned her hand so bad.
[00:59:13]  And we're looking for solutions for this.
[00:59:15]  And we're thinking, okay, what about DMSO?
[00:59:18]  Can we use DMSO?
[00:59:19]  So I went and asked ChatGPT and did some research.
[00:59:21]  And it's like, okay, no, don't do that.
[00:59:23]  I say, hold on.
[00:59:24]  She goes, Seth, go ask Enoch.
[00:59:26]  So I went to Enoch, went to your AI, and it gave us the exact way of mixing, creating a mixture of DMSO and aloe from our aloe plant to create a salve for her hand.
[00:59:37]  And so I just want to let you know that that's why I started the show by showing some of these products, right?
[00:59:41]  This, the silver gel that you've made, we use this all the time, whether it's for a bug bite or a burn or a little cut.
[00:59:48]  It doesn't matter.
[00:59:48]  So I just want to, that's part of what I want to say in kind of closing is just thank you for doing what you're doing.
[00:59:53]  And you've been an inspiration for me of don't just be a talking head, be someone that's actually trying to build systems to help people, whether you're building products, whether you're building digital infrastructure, platforms, AI, whatever it is, do something purposeful.
[01:00:09]  And so I just want to thank you for that because you've been very, very helpful in this journey.
[01:00:15]  And so thank you, Seth.
[01:00:18]  Let me just mention the engine that you're referring to because we changed the name.
[01:00:22]  It used to be called Enoch and now it's Bright Answers.
[01:00:25]  So here it is.
[01:00:26]  It's brightanswers.ai, knowledge without censorship.
[01:00:29]  And yeah, we are constantly upgrading that also with more books as reference items and more science papers.
[01:00:36]  And then the other thing that we have just announced, you'll love this.
[01:00:40]  You know, on our BrightLearn.ai, we now have over 45,000 books and 10,000 authors.
[01:00:47]  If you click here on audio books, we now have downloadable full-length audio books.
[01:00:54]  Like the entire book is full-length audio.
[01:00:57]  You can download them all for free.
[01:00:59]  And we're producing maybe 15 to 20 per day.
[01:01:02]  So the chlorine dioxide audio book, vanishing vaults, like how to hide your gold, you know, the cancer.
[01:01:09]  Here's DMSO unlocked.
[01:01:11]  that's there you go there you go so we're we're doing look off Yeah, there's Frukoff.
[01:01:16]  Yeah, awaken your hand in the middle finger.
[01:01:18]  Yeah, that's a very valuable philosophy.
[01:01:22]  So now, oh, and your digital doctor, et cetera.
[01:01:25]  So we're constantly trying to add more resources for people to be able to get more decentralized and have the PDF files and have the MP3 files so you have your local knowledge.
[01:01:38]  And I also prioritize this book, Chokepoint the Strait of Hormuz, so people can understand the straight of Hormuz.
[01:01:44]  But I didn't write that book.
[01:01:45]  Somebody else here, what's their name?
[01:01:48]  Shazia M created that book.
[01:01:51]  And then I just queued it up for the audiobook.
[01:01:54]  So you can just download the audio book right here.
[01:01:56]  So anyway, that's what we're doing.
[01:01:59]  And I love the fact that you and I both are creating tools and platforms for people to help people get prepared.
[01:02:06]  This is how we both help build community too, you know, and kind of give back to the world that has given us so much.
[01:02:12]  So thank you for all that you do, Seth.
[01:02:15]  Absolutely.
[01:02:15]  And I think one, I guess, kind of final closing statement is that it's really important.
[01:02:20]  And this is, again, through my own struggles and my own shortfalls in this, to be doing all this stuff without fear.
[01:02:28]  And that's not easy.
[01:02:29]  I mean, to me, the only way to not have fear living in the world that we live in right now is just to have faith, you know, the classic faith over fear.
[01:02:36]  But as evil as this stuff is, I think that fundamentally we have to remember that Satan didn't kick God out of heaven, right?
[01:02:45]  It was vice versa.
[01:02:46]  So I think that anything that is allowed to happen on this earth, it's being allowed to happen by the creator, by God.
[01:02:53]  And I think that ultimately that's the true power.
[01:02:56]  You know, if you look at these people that we're up against, I don't think a lot of them even have human souls.
[01:03:00]  I'm not sure what's inside of these bodies that are walking around.
[01:03:03]  But inside of us, we have this divine spark.
[01:03:05]  We have the soul that God gave us.
[01:03:07]  And I think God chose us to be here.
[01:03:09]  And so I think it's really important, though, to just be able to rise above that fear because the fear, it lowers our frequency.
[01:03:16]  It clouds our judgment.
[01:03:18]  It causes us to do things that are not godly, right?
[01:03:22]  And so I think that's one of the keys in this.
[01:03:24]  And that's why as, you know, even though this is pretty heavy conversation, you and I are both smiling.
[01:03:29]  Like if someone didn't hear the actual audio to this conversation, just watch the video only, they think, wow, these guys are probably talking about, you know, like their gardens and happy things.
[01:03:37]  And, you know, so we're covering heavy topics.
[01:03:39]  We have to be able to do it in a way that we can still find hope in the future.
[01:03:45]  And so that's that, that's, yeah, that's what I'm trying my best to do is to still have hope.
[01:03:49]  And as my one, you know, the podcast kind of slogan is, is to be a voice of reason in a world gone mad.
[01:03:55]  And that's what I'm trying my best to do.
[01:03:57]  Yeah, I like that slogan.
[01:03:58]  That makes sense.
[01:03:58]  And, you know, you've listened to a lot of my work over the years and you've never heard me come from a place of fear either, right?
[01:04:06]  It's always been, well, here's a heads up.

=== Finding Hope in a Nuclear Future (04:00) ===

[01:04:08]  Here's a warning, but here's how to prepare.
[01:04:10]  And when you're prepared, you don't have to be fearful because you know how to handle all these things as you do.
[01:04:16]  You're one of the best prepared people around, you and your wife and your family.
[01:04:20]  So great job.
[01:04:21]  And thank you for sharing your time with us today.
[01:04:24]  And I want to remind people again, your website is SethHolehouse.com.
[01:04:29]  Let me bring it up here.
[01:04:31]  There we go.
[01:04:31]  SethHolehouse.com.
[01:04:33]  And then for those of you who want to see more of my interviews, they're at brightvideos.com.
[01:04:38]  So thank you so much, Seth.
[01:04:39]  It's been a pleasure speaking with you today.
[01:04:42]  Lots of fun, except for the Disneyland part, but the rest of it was all was all good.
[01:04:47]  Yeah.
[01:04:48]  Thank you so much, Mike.
[01:04:49]  Okay.
[01:04:49]  Sorry, sorry for that little curveball.
[01:04:51]  That's all right.
[01:04:51]  That's all right.
[01:04:52]  All right.
[01:04:52]  Thank you.
[01:04:52]  And thank you all for watching.
[01:04:54]  Mike Adams here of brightvideos.com.
[01:04:56]  Take care.
[01:04:57]  Yes, the world is getting crazy, but here at the Health Ranger store, we're putting together a survival supply assortment for you.
[01:05:07]  If you go to healthranger store.com/slash survival, you'll see what we put together for you, including iodine and iosat.
[01:05:15]  That's a specific brand name of potassium iodide that's FDA approved.
[01:05:20]  Or we have the nascent iodine here, which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
[01:05:27]  These are available in case things go nuclear.
[01:05:31]  It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere.
[01:05:35]  All the inventories will be wiped out like what happened after Fukushima in 2011.
[01:05:40]  So if you want to get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now.
[01:05:44]  HealthRangerStore.com slash survival.
[01:05:47]  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.
[01:06:05]  Here's a 195-day supply.
[01:06:07]  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.
[01:06:16]  Here's some of the buckets.
[01:06:17]  There's a big variety available.
[01:06:20]  Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
[01:06:22]  Remember, a lot of people are missing fruit.
[01:06:25]  They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
[01:06:28]  So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially, again, certified organic, freeze-dried.
[01:06:36]  That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format.
[01:06:43]  All of this is available right now and so much more.
[01:06:47]  Just go to healthrangerstore.com slash survival.
[01:06:51]  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.
[01:06:58]  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.
[01:07:06]  Now, of course, I'm praying for peace.
[01:07:07]  I'm praying for de-escalation.
[01:07:09]  I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
[01:07:14]  But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
[01:07:20]  Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
[01:07:22]  Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
[01:07:25]  There could be, you know, domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the U.S.
[01:07:31]  So stock up early, stock up now, get your emergency food, emergency medicine, iodine, anything else that you think that you might need.
[01:07:39]  Get it now.
[01:07:40]  And by doing so, by shopping with us, you'll be supporting our platforms and our AI engines that we offer for free.
[01:07:47]  That's funded in part by sales from our store.
[01:07:51]  So shop with us at healthrangerstore.com slash survival and help yourself get prepared and also help us bring you more free tools and platforms that can keep you informed no matter what happens in the world.
[01:08:04]  I'm Mike Adams, Health Ranger.
[01:08:06]  Thank you for your support.
[01:08:07]  God bless you all.
[01:08:08]  Take care.
