Mike Adams and guests Michael Jan, Seth Holehouse, and a 40-year-old survivor dissect the alleged threat of global famine triggered by Iran destroying Qatar's 14 LNG trains. They claim this would halt fertilizer production, killing billions within 15 years due to $100 billion in unrecoverable reconstruction costs. The discussion expands to domestic chaos under Trump, AI surveillance via Palantir, and a fractured nation splintered into dozens of groups. Ultimately, they argue that shadowy elites are orchestrating these events to collapse the petrodollar for Agenda 2030, urging listeners to stockpile supplies and embrace community-based survival skills against a technocratic takeover.

Alright, welcome to Bright Video News for Thursday, March 19th, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams.
I'm also going to be hosting the third hour of the Alex Jones show today, featuring Michael Jan as my guest.
And you can find that in real time.
Let's see, 1 p.m., I believe.
Yeah, that would be 1 p.m. Central Time at Infowars.com because that domain name hasn't yet been taken away from the InfoWars crew, although that may happen soon, it seems.
But anyway, I've got Michael Jan coming on to talk about engineered famine and so much more.
Also, bad news, bad news today.
Events are beginning to transpire that if they continue in a very specific way, then it will cause a 10-year famine.
A 10-year famine that I estimate will kill between 2 and 4 billion people.
And the early stages of that have already begun, and it could happen tomorrow.
And nobody realizes this because it turns out that all of Western civilization depends on one specific piece of equipment.
A piece of equipment called Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers, or MCHE.
And there are 14 of these in Qatar as part of Qatar Energy and their liquid natural gas infrastructure.
If these 14 cryogenic heat exchangers are destroyed and Iran has promised to destroy them, then we lose 2 to 4 billion human beings.
And again, nobody realizes this.
But in today's special report coming up, I explain it in great detail, and it is a little bit terrifying, actually, how vulnerable our modern civilization has turned out to be.
So we're going to get to that.
I've posted a free downloadable audiobook that explains all this in more detail, by the way.
It's called The Last Molecule, How Trump's War on Iran Shattered the Global Energy Order.
And yes, you can download the PDF or the free audiobook, the full-length audiobook, all nine chapters as MP3 files.
I had that created today.
And that's available at books.brightlearn.ai.
Click on audiobooks and you'll see it.
And you can download it from right there.
And I don't know how many books we have that are audiobooks now.
It's maybe 30 or something.
It's not quite 25 per day that I was hoping for, but it's a lot and it's still, they're cranking.
So start downloading audiobooks while we still have a functioning civilization.
It's a good idea.
Get everything local.
I've got a special report on that very point actually that I'll play here soon coming up.
An unlimited supply of free audiobooks just announced.
Okay, Dell has slashed 11,000 jobs.
And Meta is rumored to be laying off 20% of its workforce.
15,000 jobs.
So you might wonder, well, what on earth did these 15,000 people do?
Because what does Meta do that takes 15,000 people?
Nothing, nothing.
That's why they're letting them go, because I don't know what they're even doing.
But they've canceled the metaverse, which they spent tens of billions of dollars on.
That's done, because that was always stupid.
How does Zuckerberg get placed in control of all this?
I got to say, he was selected.
He was selected.
Just like Elon, they're all selected.
Nothing's organic.
Everything is scripted.
But anyway, massive job losses are coming.
Amazon is also going to cut another 14,000 jobs, apparently.
And Oracle is eliminating 10% of its staff while raising $50 billion for AI data center construction.
So it's like, well, we can't afford you, but we can afford a data center.
Yeah, that's exactly what's going on.
So I called it, as you well know, if you've listened to my podcast, I've said this is exactly what's coming.
In fact, I said it again yesterday, that AI is going to begin replacing a lot of middle manager, white-collar corporate jobs.
And that's exactly what you are seeing here in spades, in spades.
Now, here's something else you don't see every day.
The Europeans calling Trump stupid.
I know, I know.
When I say the Europeans, I mean the leaders of Europe.
I don't mean the people.
The European leaders calling Trump stupid.
How stupid do you have to be to get called stupid by like a German politician?
Well, I guess we're about to find out.
Let me play the video for you, and you can hear for yourself.
Assess the statement by the U.S. president actually means that help is now being requested.
This suggests that they went into this operation without much of a plan.
This should have been considered beforehand.
And I would warn against invoking Article 5 of the NATO Treaty.
It would be no different because demanding a mutual assistance obligation from NATO states at that moment would transform NATO from a defensive alliance into an offensive alliance.
So anyway, she goes on to talk about all of that.
But basically, she just said Trump is too stupid to have a plan, or that he's so stupid he didn't have a plan of how to deal with the Strait of Hormuz.
So by the way, Germany and Spain and Italy and France and pretty much all the countries in Europe have said no to Trump.
Same thing from Japan and other countries and I think Australia as well.
Canada.
Like, no.
No, we're not going to sign up for your stupid death trap that you created in the Strait of Hormuz.
Are you out of your mind?
And Trump is there saying, come on down.
Come on down.
It's going to be a great party.
Here's what you do.
You line up your ships right there.
You line them up in the strait.
And then we'll take the U.S. Navy and flee.
How about that?
Yeah, why don't you just take our place while we flee because all our ships are burning up and shutting down?
So not good.
Not good for the U.S. Navy.
The U.S. Navy has emerged as floating impotence.
Bumbling buoyancy.
Something like that.
The U.S. Navy not getting the job done.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed because of all the reasons I mentioned previously that Iran controls it.
So every day, it's funny because every day Trump says, we've decimated Iran.
We've completely obliterated them again.
We've won five times.
And every day we lose because the Strait of Hormuz is still close.
So I don't know how you call that a win when you're clearly losing every single day.
So, you know, here's what's interesting.
Oh, my God.
Trump is getting so desperate.
Let me read you his statement.
Because you see, Israel bombed.
one of the natural gas fields that Iran uses called the South Pars gas field.
And I have a whole report on this.
And then Iran retaliated by beginning to bomb the Qatar energy LNG facilities, the infrastructure, which is extremely difficult to replace, like years, okay?
So Iran threatened to completely destroy Qatar energy LNG infrastructure, which is part of what would cause global starvation, by the way, for billions of people.
So Trump is out there now saying, we didn't know about it.
Here's his statement.
Quote, Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran.
A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.
The United States knew nothing about this particular attack.
It's like, it wasn't us, you know, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack.
It doesn't sound like Trump wrote that.
And unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG gas facility.
And then all caps, this part is Trump.
No more attacks will be made by Israel.
Says the man controlled by Israel.
Pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars field.
Unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar, in which instance, the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars gas field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.
Okay, I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction, says Trump, because of the long-term implications that it will have on the future of Iran.
But if Qatar's LNG is attacked, again, I will not hesitate to do so.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
Do you realize that if Trump blows up the South Pars gas field, that it's the same freaking gas field that Qatar taps into, except they have a different name for it because it's north of Qatar?
So they call it like their north field.
It's the same field.
Trump doesn't know that.
So Trump is probably going to use some kind of a nuke thinking he's hurting Iran.
And what he will do is he will destroy the energy pipeline of Western civilization and plunge the entire planet into a 10-year famine, which is the focus of my special report.
That's what Trump is promising to do.
Madman.
Madman.
So Trump is also admitting in this that he can't control Israel.
Israel does whatever it wants to do, and it drags the U.S. into it.
As usual.
It is truly an astonishing admission from Trump, isn't it, that he's not in control.
So if Trump's not in control, he's not calling the shots.
What the hell are we doing there with our Air Force and Navy and Marines and everything?
What are we doing there?
And also, isn't it clear that Israel wants to escalate this to the end of the world?
Because that's what they believe.
They're end times, apocalyptic, you know, Zionists, like God's going to save us, bull crap that they still push every day, along with the Christian Zionists.
Like, Jesus is going to fly out of the sky.
In our most dire moment, no, he's not.
You're going to die and starve to death if you blow up the energy facilities because even Jesus didn't create liquid natural gas.
It turns out, you know, you still need the molecules.
See, God created the gas already.
He just put it under the Persian Gulf.
And if you idiot humans are dumb enough to blow that shit up, you're going to starve and die.
That's where we are with the world right now.
God gave you the molecules and you blew it up.
I mean, if Jesus is in the sky on a white horse, he's looking down and just shaking his head.
Oh my God, I sacrificed for these morons.
Wasn't worth it.
Totally not worth it.
By the way, there's a video that's been circulating that says it is the burning of the Ras Lafan facility in Qatar.
And I posted, I said, I hope to God this is a fake video because if it's not fake, we're in trouble.
I mean, all of us, myself included, we're all in trouble.
And you'll find out why in today's special report.
My God, if it's on fire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, boy.
So, you know, I keep following now the feed of Qatar Energy because I want Qatar Energy to tell me it's all going to be okay.
We got the fires put out.
That's not what they're saying.
As of the time I'm recording this, three hours earlier was the last statement from Qatar Energy, and they said their facilities were the subject of missile attacks causing sizable fires and extensive further damage.
Emergency response teams were deployed immediately to contain the resulting damage with no reported casualties, but they didn't say that they put the fires out this time.
Uh-oh.
They didn't say they put the fires out.
And again, if Trump orders the total destruction of the oil field or the gas field, excuse me, that's going to destroy the gas field for Qatar also.
Also.
By the way, there are hints that Trump is really desperately looking for an exit now because, of course, his popularity is plunging in the polls.
Fuel prices are skyrocketing.
Food prices are about to go through the roof.
Massive inflation just in time for the midterms.
Not going to go well for the GOP.
So Trump's looking for an exit ramp.
Escalation Risks Total Destruction00:10:32
He's trying to desperately tell Iran that it's Israel, not us.
Even though the U.S. approved everything, all the bombings, all the assassinations, you name it, right?
So too late to say it's not us.
Iran reportedly is not being budged by any of this BS from Trump.
You know, Iran's just saying, look, you attacked us.
We now control the strait.
And we're going to maintain control over the world's energy until you meet our demands.
And we told you what those demands were.
Until you meet those demands.
Doesn't matter what else you do.
You can stay, you can go, you can bomb, you can bitch, you can whatever.
Doesn't matter.
And again, you can't blame Iran for having that attitude at the moment because of what they've been put through by the U.S. and Israel.
Just attacked, you know, bombed, assassinations, sanctions, and also calling Iran the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism when it's actually the United States and Israel, clearly.
It's not even close.
There's no competition.
But I wonder if Trump is finally suddenly realizing, if Trump is having a, oh shit, moment.
Like, oh, shit, what did I get us into?
The end of civilization, as we know it.
That's all.
And guess what?
Yeah, Israel's not going to stop.
And Iran is not going to give in.
So, yeah, Trump, what are you going to do now?
You walk right into the worst trap in the history of our country.
Maybe in the history of the modern world.
You walked right into it because you put Israel first and you put America last and you betrayed everything you campaigned on.
And now you can't get out without taking a loss.
So, you know, he doesn't want to take a loss.
That's for sure.
So his ego will prevent him from doing anything that makes any sense at this point.
That's clear.
So I think what we should do here is we should jump into some of these reports.
And then I've got an interview for you here today as well.
And also a reminder from our sponsor, the satellite phone store, sat123.com.
Do you need any reminders that the world's going crazy and things are collapsing and the power grid might not be reliable, etc.?
It's a good idea to have backup communications.
Sat phones are the best way to do that because you can make and receive calls from anywhere on the planet, even the ocean, deserts, whatever.
As long as you can see the sky, you can make and receive phone calls.
Check out the satellite phone store at sat123.com.
And they also have solar generators there, energy storage devices.
And you can buy solar panels and much more.
And it's probably a good idea right now to take a look at what they have available in addition to our food supplies at healthrangerstore.com.
Obviously.
Yeah, those are two things that are going to be very difficult to get.
You know, food and energy.
That's kind of the story of what's being destroyed right now.
Food and energy.
Well, I guess energy first and then food as a domino effect.
That's what's coming.
Yeah, you know, as the joke goes, what's the difference between Iran and Vietnam?
The answer is that Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.
Exactly, exactly.
So, look, bottom line also, don't trust any of these paid shills that are just pushing White House propaganda.
It's very obvious who they are at this point.
But anybody that's just whoring for the White House and saying how great and how strong America is right now is obviously a paid shill.
They should be completely ignored.
People who are thinking rationally are urging, you know, warning signs flashing red.
Oh my God, Trump is about to destroy the infrastructure that underpins all of Western civilization.
And the U.S. is losing, losing, losing every single day.
Did you know the Pentagon has classified the burial ceremonies for the soldiers that have returned dead?
You know why?
You know why they're classified?
I predicted it.
You heard me predict it before.
Because there's hundreds of them and they don't want you to know that.
That's why.
Obviously.
Because the White House is just constantly lying about everything, including why our planes are getting shot out of the sky and why there's hundreds of soldiers dead, etc.
And the damage to the U.S. military bases.
Everything is a lie at this point.
And by the way, CNN put out a poll that claims that Trump's approval rating is now 100%.
No, seriously.
Among MAGA.
Okay?
Okay.
I think Kim Jong-un only had like 99.5% approval.
So this is more insane than North Korea.
100% approval.
Not one person, not one person polled by CNN doesn't agree with Trump.
Yeah, of course it's completely fake.
The White House is pressuring CNN to put this fake poll out so that they can try to pretend like what they're doing is popular.
It's not popular.
It's a disaster.
It's a total catastrophe.
And the cost of this is going to be paid by you and I and everybody else for years to come, maybe even a decade or more, if this continues to escalate.
As you'll hear in my report here tonight.
So, you know, it's pretty amazing how much damage Iran is doing considering that Trump claims to have completely destroyed its entire military like 10 times.
So how is it still launching missiles?
How does it still control the Strait of Hormuz, huh?
Yeah, because Trump is lying constantly.
Every time he opens his mouth, it's like a badly trained LLM just regurgitating AI slop.
You know, that's what it sounds like constantly.
America needs to do better.
So, by the way, just as a final thought, think about the fact that Donald Trump doesn't control the war on any side.
He doesn't control the aggression from Israel.
He just said that they launched these attacks without our permission.
He doesn't control the Strait of Hormuz.
He doesn't control the sea lanes, therefore, for all the energy.
I mean, he doesn't control the skies because Iran keeps launching missiles.
He doesn't control the airspace over Israel because missiles keep getting through to Tel Aviv and other military bases.
He doesn't control the price of oil.
I mean, only a little bit, but not overall.
He doesn't control the supply of gas.
He doesn't control much of anything, does he?
The only thing they can control is their faked polls on CNN that say he has a 100% approval rating.
Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if next week that number is raised to 110%.
And CNN will probably run it.
Oh, 110% approval.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
And MAGA people will say, see, look how popular he is, you know, because their IQs have dropped to like 50 at this point.
Just the dumbest retards on this planet still thinking that Trump is a hero for America.
I mean, you actually have to be lobotomized to think that at this point, but whatever.
So what I'm going to do is run a couple of reports for you here.
We'll start with the 10-year famine report, because that's the most alarming.
And then we'll have a report about the free audiobooks that I mentioned, followed by today's featured interview.
So, well, I'm wishing you the best in wherever we are, whatever happens, however many billions starve to death.
I'm wishing you the best.
I've done everything I can to help as many people as possible prepare for exactly this kind of end-of-the-world, you know, intentional mass suicide cult event that's being pushed by insane Zionists and Trump, who's under their sorcery spell.
I've done my best to prepare as many people as possible.
So whatever happens, I've got no guilt about it.
I've worked to save lives and inform people as best I can.
Unfortunately, we're living in a world dominated by a satanic agenda and run by lunatics.
And they are hell-bent on literally destroying modern civilization.
And they didn't even need nuclear weapons to do it.
Think about that.
All they needed to do was shut off molecules, hydrocarbons.
And the rest just follows naturally, huh?
Cause and effect.
Something Trump should maybe learn about, you would think.
All right, well, enjoy the rest of the show, and let's hope we're all here tomorrow.
All right.
Are you ready for the 10-year famine?
Because that's exactly what could be unleashed here in just the next couple of days.
And once it's unleashed, there's literally nothing that anybody can do to stop it.
And I'll explain why in this special report.
Thank you for joining me.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger here.
Imminent Ten Year Famine Warning00:04:28
And as you're well aware, war is raging in the Middle East.
What Trump had promised would only be a weekend war is now in its third week.
And as Michael Jan says, wars always grow.
They always grow in unpredictable ways.
And they always last longer than you think.
So this war is continuing to explode, and it's becoming incredibly complex and dangerous for the entire world.
And if things go wrong in a very specific way that I'll mention here, we're talking about a 10 to 15 year global famine that could kill billions of people.
And shortly, you'll understand exactly why.
And it all comes down to the fact that billions of people on this planet, well over 50% of the population, is only alive because of fertilizer.
And of course, I covered that before.
You know there's a fertilizer shortage.
You know that urea is now scarce.
You know that sulfuric acid is also scarce, and that's used to create phosphate fertilizers and other things.
And it's also used in mining for minerals like copper and zinc, etc.
But there's something else.
You see, in the last day, Israel attacked what's called the South Pars gas field.
Now, that's south from the point of view of Iran.
So this is one of, well, actually, I think it's the largest gas field in the world.
It's so large that it runs underneath the Persian Gulf.
This gas field is tapped into by both Iran and Qatar.
So from Qatar's point of view, it's to the northeast, and they call it one of their northern fields.
From Iran's point of view, it's on the south or southwest, and they call it their South Pars field.
And it's out of this giant gas field that energy is extracted in huge quantities and then loaded onto liquid natural gas tankers and then shipped to the world to power Western civilization.
Well, not just Western, but really all of modern civilization.
Without that gas, modern civilization, as we know it, cannot function.
That gas is now being threatened, like I said, by Israel that attacked the South Pars field.
But then, in retaliation, Iran threatened to burn other energy infrastructure to the ground in the region.
And I've got a video for you on that right now.
So let me show you.
And it's subtitled, so I'll read it for you.
This is a firm warning and a red line for the criminals, he says, who attacked parts of Iran's energy infrastructure in the southern region of the country as a result of this action.
The fuel, energy, and gas infrastructure at the origin of the aggression will be set ablaze, he says, and reduced to ashes at the earliest opportunity.
We declare to the cowardly and criminal, aggressive American military and the savage child-killing Zionist regime, you are compelled to throw your soldiers into their doom, he says, and lose your dignity.
The throats of your commanders, he says, and soldiers are under the boots of the warriors of Islam.
Is the strategic confusion in your face?
I think the reality of the battlefield is clear.
Think about the astonishing events.
You came with a victory scenario, and now you are searching for ways to preserve your survival in hidden underground think tanks.
Your era of bullying is over.
I think some of the translation isn't accurate.
Your only refuge to escape the blows of Iran's is to leave the region or choose death, he says.
And victory is only from Allah, he says, the Almighty, the wise.
Okay.
There you go.
I'm not mocking him, by the way.
I'm just trying to read this without using my own normal voice.
Anyway, the point is that he's threatening that Iran will destroy the energy infrastructure at the source of the attack that hit Iran.
Critical LNG Infrastructure Offline00:13:32
And then he names five facilities.
And let's see.
Those are the Samref refinery in Saudi Arabia, the Al-Hosun gas field in the UAE, the Jubayel Petrochemical Complex in Saudi Arabia, the Shevran Mesai Aid Complex in Qatar, and then the Ras Lafan 1 and 2 gas refineries in Qatar.
Now, that's the one that matters, that last one.
Ras Lafan.
I don't know if I'm even pronouncing it correctly, obviously.
Most of us have never heard of those before.
Western civilization hinges on those refineries.
Ras Lafan 1 and 2 in Qatar.
It's the largest natural gas terminal on the planet by far.
If that facility is destroyed, and I mean if it's completely destroyed, which seems to be what Iran is promising, then the world goes into a 10 to 15 year famine where billions could die.
Now let me explain why.
So to understand this, you need to understand what a train is in the context of LNG or liquid natural gas.
So how do you take gas and turn it into a liquid so that you can transport it on those giant domed tanker ships with great efficiency, by the way?
Well, you do this through, I guess it's about five steps.
And these steps are linked together kind of like boxcars on a train.
So I had to look this up as well, but step one is a gas pre-treatment to remove impurities.
Step two is a natural gas extraction that separates out the heavier hydrocarbons like propane or butane.
And then step three, this is the big deal right here, the refrigeration and liquefaction.
So you have to cool the gas to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Right.
And then it becomes a liquid, yeah.
And so that is a very complex and also energy intensive process.
And the equipment is extremely expensive.
Then step four is the end flash and fractionation.
So there's a pressure reduction and final separation.
And then step five is the liquid natural gas output that then gets loaded onto the ships.
So right now, I believe, yeah, I'm checking it.
Ras Lafan 1 and 2, they have 14 trains.
14 trains, okay?
So when you hear the word train, that's what this is referring to.
So the capacity of these trains is rated in million tons per annum or per year.
So MTPA.
So one train will typically produce something like four to eight MTPA or million tons per year.
Got it?
Okay.
So right now, out of the Ras Lafan refineries in Qatar, the LNG production capacity is 77 million tons per year.
That's the largest in the world by far.
That facility is right now offline.
It's offline.
Why?
Because it's been hit by Iran.
And in fact, Iran hit it just in the last day with another strike that set it on fire.
Not all of it, by the way, not all of it, but parts of it were burning the last time I checked.
Now, Qatar did put out a statement that said that there was, what did they say?
Significant, oh, extensive damage, they said.
Actually, here.
Let me read the statement for you because it says there's extensive damage, but they have it under control at the moment.
Here we go.
Qatar Energy confirms that Ras Lafan industrial city this evening has been the subject of missile attacks.
Emergency response teams were deployed immediately to contain the resulting fires as extensive damage has been caused.
All personnel have been accounted for and no casualties reported at this time.
Qatar Energy will continue to communicate.
Well, you don't have to be a genius to realize that you don't want fires near the world's largest natural gas production facility that has gas under pressure just waiting to escape and explode and create the world's largest fuel air bomb, basically.
Yeah, very bad, right?
So it doesn't take much to take this facility offline.
And like I said, it's offline right now.
Okay, now this has 14 dedicated berths for the vessels.
Those are the ports for the ships.
It's got 14 of them.
And it also has 14 trains.
Every year, over 1,600 tankers fill up there.
Every year.
It also produces 25% of the world's supply of helium.
Yeah.
And this thing, this facility, cost about $30 billion to build.
And it was built over decades.
Well, a couple of decades almost, from 1994 to 2010.
Got it?
This facility accounts for about 20 to 22% of all LNG exports that are traded globally.
Okay.
Half of the LNG tankers that exist on planet Earth are stuck in the Persian Gulf.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed, which means those ships can't get out without the permission of Iran.
And like I said, the Ras Lafan facility is offline.
But I'm just getting started.
There's more to this.
There's much more.
Okay.
If you look at countries, especially Asian importers like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, etc., India, on average, those countries have about 10 days of an LNG buffer.
That's what they had on March 2nd.
Taiwan had 11 days.
South Korea had 9 days.
Japan, similar numbers.
I don't know how much energy those countries have remaining at this point or where they're going to get it.
I would imagine that Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and we know India is in trouble too, but all those countries and many more are right now on the verge of running out of natural gas.
And the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
Now, I'm not even going to mention the other five or the other four targets that Iran named because they are significant, but they're not nearly as critical as this one that we are talking about here.
Ras Lafan.
You're going to hear that name a lot, so get used to it.
The Lafan is spelled L-A-F-F-A-N.
Okay?
And again, it's 20 to 22% of global exports of LNG, and it's critical.
It's critical to the functioning of Western civilization.
And you know that Qatar Energy has already declared force majeure, which means they've already defaulted on their delivery of this to those countries that I already mentioned and many others as well.
So where do these countries go for alternative sources of energy?
Mostly Australia, which does have its own natural gas, not on the scale of Qatar, but it has some.
And of course, the U.S. exports as well.
And Malaysia has some export capability.
Let's see, China, but they're not exporting anymore.
So the question that we need to ask is, out of those stages that I just mentioned, the stages of processing the gas into a liquid, you need to understand what those stages are.
And importantly, you need to understand how many years it would take to repair and restore different trains of this facility if Iran's attacks continue, which Iran promises to do.
And it doesn't take much because this is a self-exploding bomb, you know?
So you're about to learn about something called cryogenic heat exchangers.
For some reason, the initials are M-C-H-E.
Okay.
Apparently, and again, I'm only learning this too, but I had my AI research agents do all the research on this.
You know, the cooling of the natural gas into the liquid is carried out through steps, different cooling steps that are conducted by the cryogenic heat exchangers.
They're getting rid of heat, and that's why they have to exchange heat.
There's only one company in the world that makes these units at the sizes that are needed by Qatar.
Just one company in the world.
That company is called Air Products and Chemicals, APCI.
And it's located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Billy Joel, you know, Allentown, yeah.
If you want to order one of the units that would be used in one of the trains in Qatar Energy, the lead time is three to four years for one unit.
Got it?
Okay.
One unit.
So if one train is destroyed, then that train is offline for three to four years because there's nobody else that makes this.
If multiple trains are destroyed, then the manufacturing wait time of this stretches out to eight to ten years.
You know, the more units you need, the longer you have to wait, obviously.
So right there, you realize that if Iran destroys multiple trains, which it can do, obviously, it's actually Iran's choice not to.
But if it does, then Western civilization is offline for eight to ten years.
Got it?
So if all 14 trains are destroyed, which is well within the capability of Iran, including the ports and the storage facilities and the pipelines, etc., let's say total destruction, which is what Iran promised to do, then the time required to rebuild that facility is 10 to 15 years.
Got it?
That's how we get to a 10-year famine.
Just rebuilding the berths for the ships there, you know, the 14 berths, if they were destroyed, that would take four to six years all by itself, according to my AI researchers.
Okay?
Yeah.
And other infrastructure could also be damaged that would add additional years to the rebuilding time.
And then the fleet itself, the fleet of vessels, and remember there are, what is it?
What is it, like 1,600 vessels that are trapped in the Persian Gulf right now?
I forgot the exact number.
But if those get destroyed because of a giant explosion, then to rebuild them will take three to four years per ship.
And that's using Korean or Chinese shipyards, which they have the best shipyards right now to build the most ships.
In other words, if you destroy 10 ships, that's 30 to 40 years to build them back.
Got it?
So here's the question.
Here's the question.
Oh, and by the way, the cost to rebuild just four trains, not even 14, but just four trains is in today's dollars about $30 billion.
$30 billion.
So who's going to pay the $30 billion?
And then there's all the lost revenue during the time of the shutdown, which right now, that's over $100 billion a year that's lost.
That's revenue to Qatar.
So you see what I'm saying, that this could bring down the entire nation of Qatar.
$30 Billion Cost to Qatar00:02:53
Okay?
Yeah.
So look, the bottom line in this right now is that Western civilization has built itself on the shoulders of a technology, you know, the trains that can create liquid natural gas, a technology that uses components that are very easy to blow up and very hard to replace, if not impossible at scale right now.
So in other words, all of Western civilization, the food supply, the fertilizer, industry, metals, you know, manufacturing, the power grid, you name it, all of it is way more fragile than you thought.
Way more fragile.
Remember what I've said repeatedly on this broadcast.
I've said, you know, store some food and store some diesel.
I've talked about diesel tanks numerous times, about getting a 500-gallon diesel tank, you know, a double-walled tank, UL-listed, and then call a diesel company, come out and fill it up.
Yeah.
How many times have I said that?
How many times have I said that I run diesel engines exclusively because diesel is easier to store and safer to store than gasoline?
And so I don't go to a gas station anymore to get diesel.
I just fill it up from my tanks.
Well, the value of the diesel in those tanks just doubled.
Diesel is over $5 a gallon on average nationwide and is going to go to $10 a gallon.
That is, if this war continues, and there's no evidence that it won't continue.
There's no evidence that we're anywhere near peace, right?
So if you stored fuel, then you're a happy camper right now.
Well, at least you're less freaked out, let's say, because you've got supplies of something that's going to be very difficult to get.
And I've also said store food.
And of course, my online store sells storable food.
And we have a sale going right now, actually, which is crazy because we're probably going to run out of everything.
But you can take advantage of it.
It's our customer appreciation sale.
And it's at healthrangerstore.com/slash appreciate.
And you will appreciate the fact that we still have food.
And it's clean and it's organic and it's lab-tested and ultra-clean formulations and rugged packed.
A lot of it's freeze-dried.
A lot of it's packed in the polyethylene buckets, the ranger buckets, etc.
You can find all that.

Billions Starve as Trains Fail00:04:05
But if you don't have those things, if you don't have food and you don't have fuel, things are about to get very difficult for you.
Because Western civilization can only exist due to the steady flow of massive amounts of energy out of Qatar.
That's just the way it is.
That's, well, Qatar and Iran and Saudi Arabia, you know, different forms of energy.
oil from Iran and Saudi Arabia, etc., but gas largely out of Qatar, out of this one facility based on 14 trains that each have one major component, you could say, which is this cryogenic heat exchanger that's only made by one company in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
And if those components get blown up by Iran, then the world will suffer a 10-year famine.
At least 10 years, maybe more.
And we could see billions of people starve.
That's how dangerous this is.
According to my AI research agents, if seven to ten trains were destroyed, then we would only have famine for five to eight years.
That's the good news.
Yeah, how's your food supply looking right now, right?
You see what I mean that you're going to have to grow some food?
If one to three trains are physically destroyed, but the port facilities remain intact, then this might be less than five years of shortages and maybe not total global famine because it hasn't taken all 14 trains offline.
So basically, the more trains go down, the more humans starve.
And the more trains go down, the longer it takes to build them back.
And we even have a timeline of that.
So between one and four years for the engineering, design, and procurement of all the materials necessary to rebuild if there's a total destruction scenario.
And then by the sixth year, they would complete site clearance and all of the marine works and all the civil work that's needed, you know, concrete, reshaping the facility, etc.
By year nine, there would be two to three trains operating again.
So two or three trains out of 14, nine years into this, and then to restore all 14 trains would take 10 to 15 years, according to my AI research agents.
Got it?
10 to 15 years.
During that time, billions could starve.
Now, assuming that you could get these cryogenic heat exchangers, assuming you could get them, you still have other problems.
You have contractor capacity.
There just aren't enough people in the world who know what they're doing around this equipment to build 14 trains at the same time.
So the large contractors, again, this is according to my research agents.
There are large contractors, Bechtel, for example, Technip Energies, etc.
They can maybe work on two to three trains simultaneously if they devote everybody to that.
Okay?
That's it.
And just recently, by the way, there was an expansion of four trains.
It took more than seven years, in case you're keeping track.
And I encourage you to search online to confirm everything I'm saying because you'll find it's all true, even though it sounds unbelievable that Western civilization could be dependent on such a vulnerable piece of equipment.
Massive Dredging and Rebuild Needed00:16:04
Like, we're all dependent on this in order to not die.
Think about it.
Just to rebuild the ship berths, these are called QMAX LNG berths.
They are 17 meters deep.
you would have to engage in dredging operations and construction, you know, marine construction, that would take a global fleet of dredging vessels that I'm seeing here.
They're called the Boscalis class operations.
And that would take years just for the dredging and the construction of the berths.
And obviously you can't export LNG without the ship berths.
Obviously.
You can't just put it in buckets.
Here, walk it out of here.
In order to finance this, you're going to need tens of billions of dollars of financing.
And I ask you this question.
What lender is going to lend tens of billions of dollars to Qatar to rebuild all this in the middle of a war?
And the answer is, nobody.
No freaking body is going to do that.
So until the conflict ends, there shall be no rebuilding because there will be no loans, no insurance, no gas, no Western civilization.
You see?
So without long-term safety guarantees, including Iran, right?
If Iran doesn't sign on the bottom line and say, okay, we will refrain from bombing this facility, then it will never be rebuilt.
Never.
And I guess half the human population will just die.
No, seriously.
Current estimates of fertilizer show that about 4 billion people, right around 50% of the population, needs nitrogen in order to eat nitrogen crops.
So there was a study actually in 2004 that looked at this in great detail and it found that if you don't have nitrogen fertilizer inputs into global crops, you get about 50% of the yield.
50%.
So that means, with 50% of the yield, quiz time, how many billion people can you feed with half the yield?
And the answer is only half the population.
That's about 4 billion people.
That means that the other 4 billion will starve and die.
Okay?
So again, this is widely known.
Nitrogen fertilizers are responsible for feeding half of the world's population.
Now, you could argue that, okay, well, Qatar is only responsible for 20 to 22 percent of the global LNG exports.
But those exports make up a larger percentage of the nitrogen-based fertilizers.
In addition, because of this extreme shortage, you have to understand that the remaining available natural gas will be bid up in price by the industrial users and the countries that want to keep their power grids online.
They want to keep the lights on.
So they're going to take the gas.
And the gas that will be used for fertilizer will be far lower than what you might imagine because it's going to be the most expensive gas because of the global price bidding on gas for the reasons I just mentioned.
So that means that farmers will have to use a lot less fertilizer or none at all.
And that's how you get to a significant reduction of global crop yields.
Maybe it's not 50%, but it's certainly more than 25%.
So if it's somewhere between 25 and 50%, let's say, that is, if Qatar Energy is completely destroyed and all 14 trains go offline, okay, and we have a 10-year famine.
The number of human beings that will starve to death on this planet will probably be between 2 and 4 billion people.
Got it?
2 and 4 billion people.
And a whole lot of those people will be in India.
And some in Indonesia, you know, some in South America.
And for those who manage to survive this, they're going to spend a much larger percentage of their income on food, which is going to thrust people into poverty.
Because you have to eat, so you're going to pay whatever you need to, right?
It's also going to make home gardening incredibly valuable because, you know, you'll be able to grow your own food for a fraction of what it costs to buy.
And need I remind you, by the way, that right now we have the garden seed kits at healthrangerstore.com.
Actually, it's part of our customer appreciation sale.
Just go to healthrangerstore.com slash appreciate, and then you can click on third-party vendors there.
You'll see all the seed kits that are available.
This is the time to buy them.
But remember what I said before, if you buy seeds, you should also stockpile fertilizer.
Do you remember me saying that?
I said that years ago, and I'm sitting on pallets of fertilizer for that very reason.
And what do I call it?
Remember?
White gold.
That's right.
White gold.
And people laughed at that at the time.
Nobody's laughing now.
In fact, people are crapping themselves thinking about a 10-year famine.
Now, granted, we're not, that's not a certainty yet because the Qatar energy facility has not been destroyed.
I mean, it's on fire, or it was on fire.
There was, quote, extensive damage, but the trains haven't blown up yet.
But that could happen tomorrow.
And if that happens tomorrow, I will instruct my staff to buy every lot of food that they can find and get it into our warehouse.
And then I will tell you that this is it.
This is the last train, so to speak.
This is the last train out of Dodge.
This is it.
After this, we don't know if we're going to get any more food.
Okay?
So that's what I'm going to do.
If Qatar Energy goes up in flames, I'm going to do my best to secure supplies that will be available to you.
If Qatar Energy goes up in flames, you should run out.
I mean, I don't want to cause panic here, but you should urgently acquire massive amounts of food.
No joke.
That is, if you don't want to starve.
Now, again, it hasn't happened yet, but Iran has threatened it, and they've already set it on fire.
It could happen tomorrow.
It could happen tomorrow.
And I'm not joking about the rebuild time here.
If you look, I have my research agents also look at construction times of other facilities.
There's one in the U.S. called Sabine Pass that is 30 MTPA, you know, annual output.
Took seven years to build.
There's one in Australia that took seven years to build that produces 8.9 MTPA.
Let's see.
There's another one in the U.S. that is plaqua mines, plaqua mines.
Took two and a half years.
So that was fast.
But the Ras Lafenfield, if it's completely destroyed, 10 to 15 years to rebuild it.
And then, let's see, I was giving some cost estimates, but if you're talking about the entire facility being destroyed, all 14 trains and everything else and the ports and all that, it's almost, it's up to $100 billion to rebuild it.
Just the storage tanks would be $3 to $6 billion for the 14 storage tanks.
Harbor dredging and the rock armor, $4 to $7 billion.
It goes on and on.
The helium and GTL plants, $10 to $20 billion, etc.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Bad news.
Now, if this is Trump's way of making a lot of money for U.S. gas companies, and I hope that's not what is in his mind here, that's true.
U.S. natural gas exporters would earn a fortune because you've got U.S. ports, you've got Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, Texas, Freeport, that there's maybe 10 to 15 MTPA of extra supplies that could be sold off from the United States.
So that can only cover maximum about one-fifth of what Qatar Energy produces or exports.
So that's not enough.
There's some excess capacity out of Australia, the Northwest Shelf, Wheatstone, etc.
That could cover maybe 5% of Qatar Energy's gap.
Realistically, of all the facilities around the world, there's one in Oman.
It's very tiny.
There's one in Nigeria.
There's one in Malaysia.
There's one in Russia.
That's the Yamal field there.
But they're not going to sell it to anybody in the West anyway.
If you add them all up, you can maybe, maybe get about 30% of the gap of what Qatar Energy would normally be able to produce and export.
Maybe 30%, but that's stretching it.
So there will be a scramble for alternatives, of course.
And one of the things that's going to happen is you're going to see a lot of energy plants switch over to coal.
And coal is widely available, so that could help fill the gap, right?
Power utilities.
They're just going to start shoveling coal to offset some of the gas demand.
This can happen in South Korea, in Germany, in Japan.
And also solar.
There'll be a lot of solar deployments to try to make up for the gap as well.
In Europe, they could reactivate some of the gas fields that they shut down because of all the climate lunatics that run Europe.
So, you know, maybe within a couple of years, well, I don't know.
It's Europe.
It'll probably take 20 years because of the paperwork, all the permission slips and stamps and everything.
Yeah, it's probably 20 years.
But eventually they could have gas flowing in Europe again if they wanted to.
They're usually not that rational, so don't count on that.
But, you know, look, overall, there would be some compensation, the coal, the solar, a little bit.
But a lot of industry runs only on gas.
And switching these over to alternative power sources itself takes energy and time and expertise.
And so there would be a long wait time for any of the contractors or experts or builders who know how to do that.
So this isn't something that can happen overnight.
And that's why I say that during all of this, some percentage of the human population will starve.
It turns out there is a genuine physical shortage if this facility goes offline.
And I have published a book.
I just put this together for you.
And it's free.
And the audio book is done and free also.
And the book is called The Last Molecule, How Trump's War on Iran Shattered the Global Energy Order.
You like the name?
I like the name.
I like the cover.
The cover is awesome.
You should see it.
Just go to books.brightlearn.ai.
And if you click on, oh yeah, click on audiobooks there.
You can't miss it.
It's a button right there at the top of the, or near the top of the homepage.
Click on audiobooks, and you're going to see this book.
It's called The Last Molecule.
And this book, which is nine chapters, this book has, again, full-length audiobook, MP3 plus PDF, whatever you want to download.
This will explain everything about natural gas and the Strait of Hormuz and Qatar energy and why all of this is critical for civilization.
It's all about LNG reserves and things like that.
So if you want to become an expert on this topic, read my book.
Like, how did you write it so fast?
You know how I do things.
I have AI agents do things for me.
I give them instructions and prompts.
I tell them what to do, and then they go do it.
So, yeah, the book was researched and written by my AI agents using my knowledge.
And I don't know every single thing that's mentioned in the book, by the way, because I haven't read it yet.
But in this urgent situation, I wanted to make it available for you.
And I do need to read this book.
So I'll download the MP3s myself and play it when I'm on my tractor or something burning diesel and wondering, where's tomorrow's diesel going to come from?
You know, fortunately, I've got some stored diesel, but that's not going to last forever either.
Think about it.
Now, if you were trying to achieve global depopulation, this would be the perfect way to achieve it, wouldn't it?
Shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
Or kind of convince Iran to shut it down for you.
So you know how Trump launched Operation Warp Speed, developed a bioweapon in the Department of Defense, and then sent it off to Wuhan for gain of function, and then put it in the jabs, and then use the military to distribute the jabs, scared everybody into taking jabs, which killed off one and a half million Americans and over 20 million people around the world.
But that's nothing compared to shutting the Strait of Hormuz and bombing Qatar Energy to destroy 14 trains.
If you destroy the 14 trains, like I said, according to my research here, between 2 and 4 billion human beings will starve to death.
That is depopulation.
And it seems to me that's exactly what the globalists are trying to achieve.
And this happened under Trump also.
Trump is like Mr. Depopulation.
Every time he's in the White House, people die in large numbers, you know.
Well, I mean, they were dying during Joe Biden's presidency, too, during COVID and the Ukraine-Russia war.
So I guess they're all part of the same death cult when it comes down to it, but Trump's no better.
Trump Depopulation Strategy Exposed00:04:19
I mean, here we are, cut off from the molecules, the hydrocarbons that power Western civilization.
Cut off with no end in sight.
And Trump, Trump has no solution.
He has no off-ramp to this.
It looks like we're going to try to land a few thousand Marines on some of those islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
How's that going to go?
It's going to be a bunch of dead Marines floating down the strait.
You know, that's not good.
We don't want that.
And then at one point, Trump just said, oh, we should just leave and let the Europeans figure out how to open the strait.
Yeah, you should just leave.
If you just leave, there might actually be peace.
Leave, like pull all the U.S. military presence out of the Middle East completely.
Shut down all the bases.
They're all blown up anyway.
Pull the U.S. out.
Pull the Navy out, the Air Force, all of it.
Remove the U.S. from the Middle East.
And I bet you the Strait of Hormuz opens back up automatically.
The only reason it's closed is because Trump and Netanyahu are waging war against Iran.
That's the reason.
So it's Trump and Netanyahu that are starving the world.
They're causing a 10-year famine if it escalates to that point.
Iran is just responding to being attacked.
Iran is just acting out of self-defense.
Iran didn't initiate this.
They didn't launch the first attack.
They were sitting there negotiating in good faith with Witkoff and Kushner.
And then Trump ordered the attack right in the middle of the negotiations, as usual.
So this is on Trump and Netanyahu.
This isn't Iran's fault.
Now, yeah, Iran could, of course, it can choose its own targets.
And Iran is controlling the escalation here, the escalation ladder, as it's called.
Iran hasn't yet blown up 14 trains of Qatar energy.
But do you realize it could blow up one or two to send a message?
Like, hey, you know those 14 trains you have there?
What if we just destroyed two of them and then we told you we're serious?
And if you don't leave, we're going to blow up two more every five days until we get to all 14.
It's your choice.
You either surrender to our terms or we are going to just burn down the entire energy infrastructure of civilization.
At this point, Iran is fighting for its own existence.
And they've been put there by Trump and Netanyahu.
So, of course, Iran is going to stick with its guns on this.
They're not going to surrender now.
What?
And give up everything they fought for and died for?
Not a chance.
You've got to understand the Persian people are not weak-minded, incompetent morons like, you know, the people running the Pentagon.
The Persians are smart.
They're good at strategy.
Okay.
And so Iran is controlling the escalation ladder.
And so the fact that Iran has not yet blown up the 14 trains is a negotiation token.
It's like, hey, we could do more damage.
So why don't you want to call off your attacks and then we'll call off our attacks and then maybe we could de-escalate this thing.
Otherwise, if this thing continues to escalate, if Trump thinks, oh, we're going to land Marines and we're going to bomb them and we're going to keep attacking, guess what?
Iran's going to burn down civilization by destroying 14 trains that will take a decade to replace.
More than a decade.
So there you go.
There you go.
That's more than you ever wanted to know about liquid natural gas and where it comes from and the hardware.
And I do want to remind you, the number one piece of equipment is the main cryogenic heat exchanger.
Got it?
The main cryogenic heat exchangers, M-C-H-E.
Repeat that three times because you're going to wonder.
Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers Explained00:13:02
I mean, you're going to need to know about this.
Okay.
And again, the gas fields in Qatar are called Ras Lafan.
There's 14 trains.
They all have a cryogenic heat exchanger.
And those are only made by one company in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
And if those all get destroyed, then billions will starve.
Okay?
Cause and effect.
Cause and effect.
And I guarantee you, Trump had no idea of any of this.
Nobody in the White House has any clue when they started this that they were going to unleash this whole thing.
Or if they did have a clue, then they're insane.
I mean, maybe that's the accurate answer.
Who knows?
But I don't think they even considered this because I don't think they have any knowledge about the way the world works.
You know, they're so full of themselves just bluffing and lying all the time, just making up things constantly that they don't realize there's a real world with real cause and effect that everybody else has to abide by.
You know, I mean, you can make up stuff in your press conference, but you can't make up molecules, hydrocarbons.
And without those hydrocarbons, the world doesn't eat.
Farms don't grow full yields, you know?
So there you go.
All right, so if you want to stay informed with my broadcast, you can find them at brightvideos.com.
I'll have an article on this topic posted at naturalnews.com, hopefully with a nice infographic that will explain all this.
And then on top of that, you can use our research engine at brightanswers.ai to conduct research on this topic and many other topics.
And remember to download my free book, The Last Molecule, at books.brightlearn.ai and click on the audiobooks there to download the book.
And thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams wishing you the best.
And oh, one more thing, if you want to support us and also stockpile some food for yourself, our sale, healthrangerstore.com slash appreciate.
It's the customer appreciation sale.
I'm laughing because we appreciate each other right now.
We appreciate you supporting us.
And I bet you appreciate us having food.
And I just don't know how long that's going to happen.
Again, if the 14 trains go up in flames, we're all going to be in trouble here.
You can't store enough food to make it through a decade.
You know, none of us can.
We're going to have to grow.
Gonna have to produce food one way or another.
So keep that in mind.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
A quick update on the audiobooks that we're now releasing.
As you know, I just recently announced that we have full-length audio books available for downloading free of charge from brightlearn.ai, which is our book creation platform.
And technically, you go to books.brightlearn.ai, and right there you can click on the audiobooks tab, and that will show you all the audiobooks we have available right now.
And I had estimated we'd be maybe generating about 25 per day, and it's based on the popularity of the books.
So the books that have the most downloads get audiobooks generated first.
It's all algorithmic.
I don't even, I don't choose which books get generated.
Well, except in one case, I made an exception for this book about the Strait of Hormuz.
I thought everybody would want to hear that one because of what's happening with the war.
So I did manually put that at the top of the list.
But all the other books are just algorithmically selected based on their popularity.
And so it's just working its way down the list.
And remember, you get to download the MP3 files completely free.
You can download one giant MP3 or you can download a zip file that has all the individual chapters zipped up.
Just depends on the way you want to experience the book.
Some people want a giant MP3 file.
Some people want the individual files broken down by chapter.
So we offer it to you in both ways.
Anyway, the feedback has been very positive for the most part, just a few glitches here and there.
But overall, people love it.
They love the fact that the price is $0.
They love the voice.
They love the quality of the audio books.
I mean, it's just been overall extremely positive.
And so I want to invite you to use that new feature.
And each audiobook is somewhere around typically 300 to 350 megabytes of MP3 files.
So they're not small.
And that's because the audio encoding quality, the bit rate is actually very good.
So these aren't just horrible, cheap, low-quality audiobooks that drive you bonkers when you try to listen to them because, you know, the quality is so bad.
That's the way Audible used to be years ago.
It's not that way anymore.
But these are high-quality audiobooks.
The kind of books that you would normally pay maybe $10 each, maybe more depending on the book, maybe less.
But let's just say roughly $10 each.
We're going to be able to create hundreds per month completely free.
And you'll be able to download them completely free.
Now, my original estimate of 25 books per day has not yet panned out, although I still have more workstations to bring online.
So I should explain this.
When an audiobook is generated locally, you know, because it's all generated on my data center workstations, the book is divided up into paragraphs.
And then each paragraph is sent out to one of the workstations to produce that paragraph and then send it back to the director.
And then the director reassembles all the MP3 files, etc., from all those different parts.
So I've got several more workstations to add into the rotation, which will improve the speed by at least another 20 to 25%.
However, we are not yet achieving 25 books per day.
We're only at about half that rate, maybe, at the moment.
And I think that's because the books that are being chosen right now tend to be the much longer books.
Like, you know, 20 chapters or 10 chapters or 15 chapters.
Most of the books at brightlearn.ai are smaller than that, but the smaller books haven't yet been selected for audiobook generation.
So we're focused on the, again, the more popular books, which happen to be longer books.
So the number of books per day is not that high.
Nevertheless, it doesn't matter.
It's not like you have 100 hours a day to listen to audiobooks.
Anyway, you know, if you're like me, your life is busy at best.
You might be able to listen to one audio book a week or something, you know?
So the good news is that we're just adding books every day, whether it's 12 a day or 20 or 25 a day.
We're just adding them every day.
And remember that once you download these audio files, they download to your local system.
Obviously, they're MP3 files.
You do not ever need any kind of permission from us or special software or like a cloud digital rights management system or anything like that.
You get to play the MP3 files forever.
You get to keep them forever.
In fact, I encourage you to share them.
Take those MP3 files, copy them onto a thumb drive, hand them to a friend.
Say, hey, here's a book you might like.
It's a book about backyard chickens, or it's a book about surviving when the power grid goes down, or it's a book about DMSO.
It's a book about cancer cures, whatever.
Give it to them.
I encourage you to do that.
You have my permission.
In fact, you have the permission of the site because these are offered under a Creative Commons attribution license.
So what that means is go ahead and share the audio books, but then just give credit to brightlearn.ai.
That's it.
That's all you have to do.
And then you're fully compliant with the license.
We're giving these to you for free on purpose.
So, yeah, pirate them all because it's not piracy.
Copy them all with our permission.
And yes, all of these books are original books.
They're all original books, and we now have over 10,000 authors.
Many of you listening, you are authors as well.
So thank you for your prompts and all your data and things that have helped create the books, whatever you entered into the prompts.
You have helped create nearly 50,000 books.
Think about it.
It's amazing.
This is a grassroots effort, all of us together.
I mean, I built the platform, but you brought the ideas and the content.
You created the books.
And now we're turning those books into audio books.
And think about it.
There will be hundreds per month.
Hundreds.
That means by summer, we're going to have thousands of audio books.
Think about it.
Or maybe by the end of summer, thousands of audio books.
Free.
So whatever somebody wants to learn about anything, almost anything, let's say they can come to books.brightlearn.ai and they'll be able to find and download audiobooks that match what they want to learn about and download them for free and share those files with others.
See, that's my mission.
It's about decentralization.
We want to inspire and empower humanity with knowledge, knowledge that sets you free, uncensored knowledge.
And we don't want you to have to pay for it.
Now, yeah, you do have to enter your email to download the files because, you know, we don't want bots.
We don't want bots like hammering our bandwidth all day long because there's a lot of lobster bots out there, Ompenclaw and all of that.
They've already gone after our brightanswers.ai research engine.
We had to do a lobster hunt over there to stop all the lobsters because everybody's running Ompenclaw now, which is awesome.
But they're just hammering all our systems.
So we require you to prove that you're human.
You have to enter your email and then you check your email and you have the download links.
And then you can download them right there.
So go for it.
And then if you want to create your own books, just go to brightlearn.ai and create your own books.
And if you want full-length books, then you use a token.
And where do you get tokens?
Well, you get tokens by shopping at healthrangerstore.com or bright.shop, bright.shop.
It's basically the same as HealthRanger Store.
And then when you make purchases, you get loyalty points that you could swap for tokens.
And those tokens let you generate full-length audiobooks.
So anyway, enjoy and thank you for all your support.
And the way you support us is by shopping at healthrangerstore.com or bright.shop.
And that's how we can keep all these tools free.
You know, anybody else creating a tool like this would be charging you, you know, $19 a month or whatever.
And we don't have to do that because we've got funding from our stores.
So you support our stores and then we build tools and then you get free audio books and downloadable PDFs also.
So we all win and you benefit as well.
So shop with us.
In fact, right now we have customer appreciation week or sale at healthrangerstore.com slash appreciate.
That's all you got to type in.
Healthrangerstore.com slash appreciate gets you to our customer appreciation sale event.
So check that out and thank you for your support.
Take care.
One of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself, but helping those around you be more prepared.
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 in American soil, I think I do think that most Americans are woefully unprepared for 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.
If you want to understand just how close we are to absolute mad max chaos, go read what happens when an EMP goes off.
Building Community Resilience Together00:10:12
Welcome to today's interview here on BrightVideos.com.
I'm Micah Adams, and we are joined by Seth Holehouse.
And he, of course, hosts his own show, Man in America.
And he's got a wealth of information about preparedness and resiliency in this time of extreme challenges.
So welcome to the show, Seth.
It's great to have you back on.
Mike, it's always good to come on.
Thank you for having me.
And you mentioned I have a wealth of resiliency.
I feel like that my wealth is coming from a lot of your wealth.
It's kind of like what my dad always said, you know, playing cards.
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.
So anyway, it's all these one-liners.
So that's great.
It's good to be here, Mike.
Well, I know that it's great to have you on, by the way.
And I love your work.
And you have over the years, because we've talked, we've been in touch.
You have built out a really self-reliant lifestyle, you and your family.
And you moved at least once that I know of.
That was a big deal.
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.
Like you're living this every single day.
So tell our audience about what you're living.
Yeah.
Well, first off, to address the moving.
I think that my wife and I have moved, I think maybe five times since 2020.
Oh my, that's okay.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Twice across the nation.
Or kind of, you know, serious moves.
So, yeah, we've done a lot of moving.
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.
I grew up in rural Ohio.
I moved to New York City in 2008 to work for the Epoch Times.
Actually, at that point, it was a very kind of early, like I should give you 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.
But as we approached, you know, probably 2015 and on, I started feeling just more aware of preparedness.
And so at that point, I was living on like the 42nd floor of a high-rise.
And so, you know, so I kind of had my big bug out bag.
And of course, I couldn't have any guns or anything like that, but I was doing everything I could to prepare.
And then once COVID hit, it was actually kind of before, it was early 2020.
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.
And so, and we found out simultaneously my wife was pregnant.
So we said, okay, let's go back to the, go back to the countryside of Ohio.
And so we moved back to Ohio.
We kind of bounced around.
We ended up buying a home out in the country.
We had five acres out, you know, much more in a rural area.
And just, you know, this was probably 2021, 2022.
We were listening to you a lot then.
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.
And I'd say, were you listening to Mike Adams?
And she'd say, yeah.
But it was good, though, because we're still using the toilet paper that we bought from Costco during COVID.
Oh, my.
So I haven't had to buy toilet paper in probably four years.
And that's just, you know, we probably bought it.
You bought it.
We're hedging inflation.
And ammo and I would imagine iodine, like all the things that a prepper needs, right?
Absolutely.
Water treatment.
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.
But it wasn't just about buying the supplies.
It was about learning.
It was about doing.
So we built huge gardens.
Actually, because of you, I was able to convince my wife to let me get a diesel tractor.
So we got a little Kubota with a PTO generator and that became a good tool for us.
But we did it.
We built, I built a chicken coop.
We had about 50 chickens at that time.
And we had all of this stuff.
And we were very, you know, from a supply perspective, we were set.
But one thing that we realized in that process is, you know, we had friends and family that were kind of near us, so we were pretty far out.
And we were telling people, hey, come out with us.
Hey, come help us with our gardens.
Come help us with the chickens.
Or hey, a friend or neighbor, if you do rabbits, we'll do chickens and we can exchange.
Nobody was interested in it.
Nobody was that, you know, they thought we were a little bit kind of out there.
And even amidst COVID, they just was like, oh, yeah, the Seth's, they're like the preppers.
So you found out that you were surrounded by people who were not prepared.
Absolutely.
And looked at preparedness more of just as a hobby.
And they looked at it as like, okay, well, we'll have a little garden patch and we can have a garden.
But I mean, we were serious and we had, I mean, just to give an idea, you know, obviously, you know, gardening pretty well.
I mean, when it was harvest time, just between, say, tomatoes and bell peppers, I probably collected 10, five gallon buckets of vegetables.
You know, so it wasn't just a small little garden.
It was serious.
And we had a, we had, we still do.
We had a harvest right freeze dryer.
So we were freeze-drying eggs, freeze-drying, you know, vegetables, freeze-drying ground beef.
You know, we were just, everything was oriented around this, but we were learning in the process.
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.
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.
Oh God.
But that's how you learn your lessons.
Also, I knocked a tooth out.
This is a fake tooth.
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.
So we learned a lot of lessons and that was really valuable.
I think a lot of people, they look at preparedness as collecting things.
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.
But more than that, we realized that the most important thing I think that we needed, we didn't have, which was a community.
And that was it because we were very isolated.
And I think, you know, even worse than being isolated, we were surrounded by people that knew we were very prepared, but they weren't prepared.
And so that's not a very good situation to be in.
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 in 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.
And so we had a huge community of people here that we knew.
And as much as I hate being in New York, the reality is, you know, we've got two little girls or two and five.
We've now got a homeschool group with over 30 kids.
We've got people over every day.
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.
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 that you, unless you're, you're a, you know, seer-trained, you know, you can survive anywhere kind of person, you're not going to do well just completely in isolation.
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.
And so that was part of the process that brought us back here.
And we've now, I feel that we're more prepared than ever.
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.
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.
That's going to come in super handy right now with the global fertilizer cutoff.
Yes, sir.
Absolutely.
You're sitting on a gold box right there.
Yeah.
Well, the other thing is I think that we're, if anything, we're hedging inflation.
Like I'm eating cans, canned foods that I bought for a buck a can four years ago that's now 250 a can.
Yeah.
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.
I've got a whole box of this in our food storage room.
I've got, you know, I've got probably another 30 of these things sitting around.
That's good.
We use a lot of your stuff, which kudos to you, Mike.
Actually, you've done a great job with a lot of your products, and we use your products daily.
Oh, thank you.
I do too.
I mean, like, obviously, the protein in here is four years old.
Because I stockpiled loads of whey protein.
And just like you, I'm working through the older stuff first, and it's perfectly good.
You know, it is.
It is.
So I've got a four-year protein supply.
Yeah.
Which is something that's.
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.
I took, we bought these big bags from a zooer, and then I bought a vacuum sealer with my lot of bags, and we, we actually individually sealed, I think, I think honestly, it's probably 400 pounds of dried milk that is just sitting.
You've had some time with the sealer there.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
Ohio Milk Shares and Protein Stocks00:02:04
Yep.
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.
And but you feel like you're well covered there in upstate New York right now.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, that's the one thing is that people think, oh, you live in New York.
Well, like I've lived in the heart of New York City.
I mean, literally in Union Square.
I lived there for almost a decade.
Upstate in New York, as I'd say, feels more conservative than rural Ohio in many ways.
I think maybe because you have that contrast, right?
I think sometimes it's kind of the whole yin and the yang, right?
When you have the opposing forces, that one force drives the other force even further away.
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?
Because people, they know the importance of it versus Ohio is very purple, right?
Which, which we know that, right?
Every election you see that Ohio is one of those purple states.
Well, according to the rigged voting machines, it is, but that's a different issue.
Right.
But yeah, so I do because we have the supplies.
You know, I'm building a pole barn pretty soon to build out a new studio to do more kind of survival content, more building, that kind of stuff.
But we have all the supplies and everything, but we've got the community.
We've got my next door neighbor is a retired nurse.
The neighbor across from her, he runs part of his kind of side business.
He has probably two acres worth of log for firewood.
So that's what he does as part of his extra income.
He's got all that.
Not to mention, like I said, now we know the farmers.
We know the milk farm, the local milk farm.
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.
Ohio, you had to do like a milk share or a herd share type thing.
So yeah, we now have a lot of the people and the infrastructure.
And that's, I think, is what I found to be one of the most important things about this is actually just building your community.
Constructing Local Firewood Networks00:03:13
Not to mention, I think that people oftentimes overlook the importance of your mental health.
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 goes, yeah, you know, Sethi was like, 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.
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.
And that was for her.
That was for like, okay, we've gone too far down this hole.
Right.
And of course, it's not a bad thing to think through those scenarios.
I know that I've listened to your discussions on that and how you've got markers.
Okay, that's my 500-yard marker.
That's my thousand mark, you know, yard marker.
But, You know, I think that the mental aspect of it, it doesn't matter what kind of studies you look at.
I'm not sure if you've interviewed Michael Nels before, talk about, you know, 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.
It makes us less susceptible to propaganda, less susceptible to fear, everything.
And so now we're at a place where we've got this, we've got a community and it's actually part of what we've got a lot of projects.
We have the podcast, but one of the things that actually we're launching next Tuesday is something called the ARC community.
And so it's buildthearch.com is the website for it.
And right now it's just to sign up for like the waiting list.
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.
And what it is, is it's a private community for, you could say it's kind of faith-based preparedness, but it's really for people just to kind of build this community.
We're going to set up local chapters.
So we're going to have local chapters across the nation and also as different countries kind of join in.
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 and aside from your, say, your kind of crazy uncle that's prepared, no one else actually thinks like you do.
How do you find that community?
How do you build that local infrastructure?
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.
Okay, great.
You can join local chapters.
So that's another thing that we're doing.
We're launching next Tuesday.
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.
So that's another thing that we're doing as part of all this.
Okay, let me let me give out your main website too.
It's setholehouse.com.
And I'm sure you have a link to your ARC project there as well.
Yeah, if you scroll down, there's actually perfect.
It has the four main things that we're working on.
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.
And then we have also this site we built called ReadyScore.
And so actually, so you might have to talk about ReadyScore real quick because another thing that we're trying to do.
We've been working on it.
Yeah, well, let's segue to that, but I have a question for you first.
Yes, please.
Palantir Kill Chain Sensitivity Issues00:15:44
Okay.
So one of the things, like your presentation style is very, is very kind.
It's very, you know, compassionate and friendly.
And I love that about you, by the way.
You know, you're not intimidating to people.
At the same time, this is what I want you to answer.
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.
I think that the average American clearly is not ready for any of this.
But I even think that many so-called community preparedness Americans aren't ready for what's coming.
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.
And, you know, we could lose the ability to manufacture car tires, you know, because of the lack of sulfur and you can't vulcanize tires without, I mean, we could lose transportation infrastructure in this country.
At that point, things are going to get really dicey and it's going to move beyond like a feel-good goat milk rally.
You know what I mean?
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, a lot of thoughts.
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.
You know, one thing, for instance, I had an opportunity.
One of my friends has he owns a survival food company.
And I had an opportunity to get a whole pallet of freeze-dried number 10 cans at like a very, very heavy discount.
Oh, that's awesome.
So it shows about a 600-pound pallet of freeze-dried food that I paid for just a lot of food, just the shipping, right?
You know, yeah, it was a lot of food.
So we sent a message out to all of our local families.
We know and said, hey, come grab a box of this stuff.
We just, we, we pass it out.
And so that's one of the best things because that's, I think one of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself, but helping those around you be more prepared.
Because then if there is an issue, if there's a massive supply chain, whether it's, and look what happened in Cuba, right?
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, right?
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.
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?
So my thinking is, okay, let me get them seeds.
Let me get them as much food as ahead of time as we can.
But I do think that, you know, as nice of a guy as I am, and it's not like an act.
I mean, I think that just, it's who I've always really been.
It's just kind of like this kind of person I am.
I think part of it is because I was really fat as a kid, you know, kind of side story.
I was really overweight.
And so I thought, okay, well, I'll just be really nice to everybody.
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?
So just, you know, you're, when you're a young kid, you find these kind of coping mechanisms.
And so that laid a foundation.
But, you know, but I'm also a father.
I've got a two-year-old, a five-year-old.
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.
And I'm not saying that I would jump to do that.
And hopefully I would never have to, but there's also a very sober reality of that.
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,
which I know you've talked extensively about.
So I think part of it is being mentally prepared.
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.
I hope that never comes to that.
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?
Then you have to do things that require, I think, discipline and making sure your family survives.
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?
Yeah, clearly that's the case.
We've never really had war domestically since the Civil War, right?
You know, World War II didn't touch our shores.
It was those people dying over there.
You know, it was easy for people to say that.
Vietnam, et cetera, even this war, it's those people over there.
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.
We're looking at crop yields strongly declining over the next year.
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.
People on the left have not forgotten that.
And they shouldn't, because that was blatantly unconstitutional.
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 it just starts shutting down or arresting independent media.
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.
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.
What are your thoughts on that possible scenario?
I mean, I think that 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 they're necessarily likely, but they're definitely possible.
They're absolutely possible.
I hope and I pray that they don't come about, but these are real things.
The tension in our nation is, you know, I'm 40 this year.
So I'm not, you know, I'm not looking back on 75 years of living and like, oh, I remember when that happened and that happened.
But, you know, I've lived enough to have a sense of what this nation feels like.
And I think that the tension in our nation is now higher than it has ever been.
I mean, I feel like that even a couple of years ago that the nation was divided, but it was divided into a couple of bigger groups, right?
You had the kind of, okay, hey, people that believe that the election was stolen.
You had people, that was a big group.
Okay, hey, we need election justice.
We need to have audits.
We need to have justice.
You had the people that said, okay, hey, that's a lie.
The election wasn't stolen.
Okay, but still, though, maybe America was divided into a couple of large groups.
As of right now, I think it's absolutely by design.
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 MA or so-called right, it is so splintered now that that, to me, is concerning.
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.
Actually, funny enough, he woke me up at like three in the morning last night, called me from Japan.
So I didn't answer him.
I was like, why is my phone ringing?
Look, it was Michael Yan saying, hello from Japan.
Yeah, that sounds like Michael.
Yeah, he's absolutely.
I just talked to him yesterday.
He's in Japan.
But one thing that he said really stuck with me is I was asking, what do you think is going to happen?
Or when do you think it's going to happen?
He said, look, he goes, he said, don't pay attention to the one spark that causes the forest fire.
He's like, pay attention to conditions.
He says, look at, okay, here's there's 30 different conditions.
Any one of these conditions could lead to the same spark that then starts a forest fire.
And that's where I feel like that we're at right now.
I don't know what it's going to be.
I think that we're in a place now where, you know, 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.
It's very possible.
So could there be some sort of false flag terror attack that gets blamed on Iran as a way of justifying the war?
Absolutely.
Could there be a legitimate terror attack?
Could there be a, you know, a series of cells of Chinese and maybe even Iranian or who knows that actually do have a legitimate terrorist attack in this nation?
Absolutely.
So we're at a place where all these conditions are there.
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.
On one of my live shows just over the weekend, I played, there is 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.
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 calendar, the Palantir kill chain, identifying targets, tracking insane levels of detail.
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?
No, there's no way.
Right.
But even looking at it 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.
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?
What happens if the next person gets in?
He has the same keys to that Palantir kill chain.
What happens if that gets turned against the American people?
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.
This is warfare that even a skilled operator here in America would have a hard time countering.
I mean, how many people have go ahead and 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.
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.
And the Trump administration is now becoming famous for abandoning any law.
They just do whatever the hell they want, internationally or domestically.
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.
That's well within the possibility of the mindset of this administration now, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, yeah.
Unfortunately, it is.
If you look at what's been done, right?
You look at, I'm sure you probably saw Joe Kent's resignation.
I mean that's got it right here actually Yeah.
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.
And, you know, these are very real scenarios.
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.
And thankfully, there have been some opportunities for us to have free speech.
Obviously, you're building an infrastructure that I think has a very strong capability in terms of surviving attacks on free speech, right?
You're not hoping that Elon Musk isn't going to censor you.
You're anticipating that he will.
And actually, I mean, I just saw this too.
I put out an Epstein video.
I sent it to you before the show.
You probably have time to watch it, but I put out a three and a half minute Epstein video.
And that video was so censored on Twitter.
It was incredible.
I mean, I had people like John Rich sharing it multiple times, General Flynn sharing it, Kim.com sharing it.
People with collectively probably 10 million followers sharing this video.
The videos got 300,000 views.
I tried to view the video.
It wouldn't let me bring it up until I logged into X.
So it got marked as sensitive content.
Yeah.
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.
Oh, wow.
It actually wouldn't even send the Twitter link to you.
Wow.
Yeah, I tried to open it before the show here.
Wouldn't let me open it.
So I'll have to check it out when I get back to my desktop.
Yeah.
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 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?
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?
Yeah, right.
I know.
How do you know how do you know AI and what's not?
Any video the White House doesn't like, they immediately label it AI.
And also all U.S. warplanes that fall out of the sky are only from friendly fire.
Yes.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, all in all videos of Bibi Danyahoo are not AI.
Right, right, right.
Right.
I mean, just clearly, we're just being subjected to psychological operations daily.
But you're right.
You bring up a good point.
Who's the arbiter of what is truth?
And, you know, the AI videos, as you know, I've created an AI avatar, Mr. Fu Koff.
I watched it the other day.
I watched that one.
Banking System Beliefs Under Attack00:10:08
Yeah.
But of course, it's obvious that that's a caricature.
Like that's a fictional character on purpose.
But it shows you how convincing AI videos can be.
And by the way, I rendered that video locally, not even, not on some online service.
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.
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.
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.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Exactly.
And again, who becomes the arbiter of truth?
And it's a serious question because it used to be that if you saw it, you could believe it, right?
You see it, you believe it.
But that's no longer the case anymore.
And there's part of me that thinks as I take a step back and I look at everything that's happening, right?
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.
Iran was just as kind of neck deep in the COVID and the vaccine operations and the lockdown.
So they were just on board as much on board with the globalist stuff as Israel and as America.
And so there's also part of me that's wondering, are the controllers up above all of this?
Because I think that to look at, say, Israel as an example and think, oh, it's Israel that's doing these things.
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.
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?
Absolutely.
Because it's brilliant.
If that's their plan, it's absolutely brilliant.
Well, 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.
But that didn't kill enough for the globalists, right?
Because they really want to eliminate maybe billions of people.
So now here's another way to do it.
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.
I mean, I think you're right, Seth.
This is a top-level anti-human situation that has been put into place.
It's been engineered.
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.
I try to look at patterns because it's really easy to lie about a single event or a couple of events.
It's much more difficult to lie with patterns across history and or patterns occurring.
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?
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.
You remember him saying how it would make the kind of the COVID pandemic look like kind of nothing compared to what that could cause.
But then you now see they're talking about their warning about the Iranians targeting the banking system.
So how easy would it be?
And it doesn't matter whether Iran does it, whether the CIA does it, whether Mossad does it, whether the CCP does it.
It actually doesn't matter because any one of those nations can be used as a tool to collapse a banking system.
Like what happens if there is that?
We know that we know that the dollar is dying.
We know that there is a massive war built on the back of the petrodollar.
We know, though, that they knew that that was going to happen.
It's a fiat currency.
It has a life cycle that's never changed throughout history.
Fiat currencies, they come and they go, right?
Different than this 10 ounce bar of silver right here.
This will never be digital.
It'll never be controlled.
I can go bury it in my backyard.
Nobody will ever find it, right?
I like that about silver.
But how easy is it for them to say, okay, you know what?
I think it's time for us to roll out that CBDC.
Let's go ahead and do one of these nationwide banking system hacks on the American banking system.
That's going to trigger a global stock market wipeout.
That's going to trigger the global financial reset.
We're going to then bring in the central bank digital currency.
All of these things are possible.
And the thing is, is when you have the theater of war, it's a theater of war, right?
They have the script.
They can have whatever character they want to walk in on stage and assassinate the other character if they need it to happen.
And they can then use that to bring us closer to their end goal.
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.
They are eating babies.
They are trafficking and torturing children.
This stuff's all real.
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.
Go listen to Jared Kushner talking about his generation being the last ones to ever die.
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.
So those people definitely need to be kind of called, right?
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.
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.
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 scandal and distractions to keep people focused on this over here.
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.
And the people that are fighting, the people that are the useful idiots that are 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?
And that's what we don't realize is that fundamentally this is a war against humanity.
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.
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 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.
Because I think that's the only hope that I have is us as a human race realizing that and doing something about it.
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.
And I imagine that if you could visit yourself 10 years ago and hear what you just said, you wouldn't have believed it, right?
And even I wouldn't have believed it because we've all learned, usually through hard lessons along the way of where we are.
But here's the thing.
So you just laid it out brilliantly.
And I think our audience obviously is completely up to speed on those things you just said.
The typical person, the typical American is nowhere near that level of understanding.
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.
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 of the things that you just laid out.
And so there's this gap between where people function and the way the world actually works.
Because I believe that what you just described is accurate about the way the world actually works.
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.
You see what I mean?
So how exactly?
Yeah, go ahead.
Your comments.
Oh, no, I agree completely.
Or it's like, you know, if you go back into, say, Tony Robbins, right?
You know, looking at, or even NLP or psychocybernetics and looking at, you know, your beliefs shape your reality.
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.
And this is known, right?
And so, you know, let alone your beliefs about, you know, oh, I read the Schofield Bible.
So this is, this is the role of Israel, right?
Like, you know, there's, there's propaganda campaigns that could have been inserted into the consciousness of humanity 500 years ago.
Disney Parties and Blood Consumption00:07:29
Oh, yeah.
Right.
So we're still arguing about whether the election was stolen in 2020.
We're not even touching upon whether there were advanced civilizations, whether the Tartaria was real, whether there were giants walking among us, whether they're like humanity has been pushed so far into a cage.
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.
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 Man in America.
You know, so we're, we're really growing.
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.
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.
Her name is Max Lowen.
And I'm not sure if you're familiar with her, but she was a an she was an SRA victim.
She was trafficked under the underground tunnels in the Vatican.
She was trafficked by the Jesuits.
She was in the most dangerous game hunting parties.
And so I think that people like that, 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.
No.
Right.
Like, look what happened.
The guy, I forget his name.
He was the German banker that talked about what he saw at some of these parties and he realized they were eating.
I'm pretty sure that guy was killed.
I think he was living in Florida at the time.
I think that he was killed.
But there are people that have seen the inside of this system that they can tell us a lot.
I think we should be listening.
Actually, I've got another interview coming out this Saturday.
It's a two-part interview because it's so heavy.
It's a two-hour long interview.
I split into two parts with a guy named J.R. Sweet.
And have you ever come across J.R. Sweet before, Mike?
Not familiar.
So he has a website, which is called MormonMonarch.com.
And JR was from a very young age.
He was born into a royal bloodline that traced back to a certain king over in Europe.
And from a very, very young age, he was subjected to satanic ritual abuse.
A lot of it he experienced underground at Disneyland.
So he gets, he gets, oh, it's, it's like, yeah, he, in the interview I had with him, I mean, it was one of the most difficult and darkest interviews I've ever done.
And not to say that it was about this pure evil.
There's actually a lot of hope inside of that.
And you can see his struggle.
But yeah, he was part of human hunting parties.
He was literally he.
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, his uncle who was his handler, who was CIA, would take him off the ride and they would go in.
And he described one scene which is so shocking, where he's at Disney, his uncle takes him off one of the rides.
He, you know, I think he was maybe six or seven years old um, they go into an area underground.
They've got cages full of children and he says yeah, i'll have to share, i'll make sure I share it with you.
I mean, it was mind-blowing.
And he's, why does it stop the ride?
Is that how they snatch the kids or what are you?
No, what he was saying is that.
What he was describing is that I think this is the, the Disneyland and uh, maybe Anaheim is a California one, but actually that it that underneath of it there's actually a massive intelligence base, so that the, the CIA, has a base that's actually part of underground Disney.
And this sounds so wild.
Right, it sounds like okay, this is crazy, how could this actually be?
But then when you realize that all this stuff is connected.
It's like it actually makes sense.
You look, even Disney.
It's like okay, why is Disney putting uh, Illuminati symbolism in their shows?
Why are they putting nudity, all the things that Disney's hidden in it?
It's like that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The answer is, because it's a small world, after all.
Exactly right yeah, so you know, i'll finish that story.
So basically, he described, they go under and they, they told him.
They said hey, one of these kids has been giving us a lot of trouble lately and he thought it was maybe an older boy.
That was kind of really aggressive.
It was a young girl um, and he said so they underground in Disney, they picked up, they took, they picked out this young girl, they took her into a room, they strapped her down in a certain um, kind of a theater they had set up for sacrifices.
He said they had an altar, they strapped her down to the altar, they slit her throat 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, and so he said it was white, because the contrast of the blood against the white cup was really kind of obviously very strong and they would.
They and they consumed the blood of this, and so he ended up as he describes in his story.
He ended up becoming a CIA um Mk, Ultra sleeper assassin, and that was his job um, and he and he that.
The crazy thing is is he didn't know any of this until about 2017.
All of his memories started coming back in 2017.
Well I, I didn't realize this interview was going to go in this direction.
By the way, it's getting a little uh, a little grotesque um, but I, I understand what you're saying.
Um and, and this is a man you've interviewed, WHAT Mormon?
What was his website?
Monarch Mormon?
Yeah, he has an entire diary on there um, where he walks through, he has, he has pictures of him as a child, he has documentation he, I mean, it's um, like it's all there, and i've unfortunately gone down this rabbit hole far too much.
Maybe I should have given, and maybe Mike, you know, before you put the show up, you can give someone, you can give a give, a kind of like a viewer, your discretion advised.
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.
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, which I do, like I believe that Satan exists.
I'm not an atheist, right?
I believe there's God in everything.
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, you know, in a lot of ways, the world that Satan has been basically ruling?
And so then you understand it's like, actually, yeah, it makes sense why there's this bioweapon jab program.
It makes sense why they're mutilating children.
All these things start to 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.
Well, that's, yeah, that's true.
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, you know, Disney World, I guess in that case, Orlando or wherever it is.
Depression Scores in Grid Down Scenarios00:09:26
But let's shift gears here because that's gross.
Let's talk about your ready score.
And because none of us were ready for that segment on Disney.
So let's talk about your ready score.
So as I understand it, you've got an online scoring system that people can self-score their readiness.
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 to help more people be more prepared.
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.
Right.
So these are the, you know, Kissinger highlighted it perfectly, talking about controlling the food, the money, you know, the energy, et cetera.
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.
Right.
So one of the things that really hit me, and this 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.
They die because of a lack of preparedness.
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.
They died because they weren't prepared for it.
They didn't have a backup heating source.
They didn't have backup power.
They were reliant on the tap water coming out.
So when that ice storm shut down the grid infrastructure and they can no longer have access to water, right, that became an issue.
And so part of what we wanted to do, so we launched readyscore.com.
And what it is, is there's two different tests on there.
There's a 90-second test and about an eight or nine-minute test.
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?
You would say, okay, hey, Seth, do you have a way of filtering your own water?
How much food do you have stored?
Do you have water stored?
Do you have a way of protecting yourself?
Do you have medication, et cetera?
You'd ask these questions.
And that's what we do with the ready score is that we ask people this different questions, including where do you live?
If you live in a high-rise in New York City, it doesn't matter how much food and water you have.
You're screwed in a grid-down scenario, right?
And so that's what we build it out for.
So people, they take the test, they get to the end of it, and it actually gives them their ready score.
It says, okay, you are a 63 out of 100.
But not just that, it says, okay, we've broken down preparedness into, I think, 11 different categories of preparedness that we've identified.
And it will actually show you that, okay, in these seven categories, you're basically a 10 out of 10.
But, you know, in this one category, you're a three out of 10, right?
You're still relying on, you don't have any kind of backup energy or you don't have any way of defending yourself.
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.
It gives you a score, it gives you an assessment.
Okay, hey, this is your ready score.
These are where your gaps are.
And it actually gives you steps.
Okay, here's how you can improve.
We recommend you, hey, go buy a Sawyer life straw.
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.
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.
And then your eight-year-old daughter gets some sort of waterborne disease.
So you're just one AR-15 away from 90 from scoring.
It's like this problem is solvable.
No, but I like it.
So the website for that is, is it readyscore.com?
Yeah, just readyscore.com.
Okay.
Is that up now?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's live right now.
Okay.
Let me.
I think we've already had maybe close to seven or eight thousand people that have taken the test so far.
Okay.
How ready?
And they've gotten their assessment.
I like it.
I like this.
Good idea.
Okay.
Yeah.
Very cool.
Next, have like a, you know, like an AI survival chat bot right there.
Yeah.
That would be even more fun.
And they can, it can condemn you for not having enough water or whatever.
It's like an AI chat bot that won't let you get away with anything.
Okay.
Yeah.
So tell us, since we're about to wrap up this interview, also, tell us about at SethHolehouse.com, your main website.
You mentioned your show.
You've got the ARC Community Project.
You've got Prep Like Noah.
That's your book coming out also.
Right.
Do you want to talk about that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's coming out mid-May.
We don't have the exact date yet.
The idea is that we're calling it in the website for that is preplikenoah.com.
And we're just calling it, it's the kind of the prepping guide for non-preppers.
And that's the idea with it.
It's really, you know, like for yourself, you would read it, maybe take a few things away from it.
But the intention, again, is to helping someone that feels overwhelmed with preparedness.
Maybe they feel like, okay, where do I start?
Or maybe they're well into the journey, but they still need some helpful guides.
That's the whole point of Prep Like Noah.
It's kind of looking at, okay, who was the original prepper?
It was Noah.
I mean, he spent 100 years building an ark when everyone around him was, you know, doing all kinds of evil things and who knows what they were doing, right?
You know, bestiality and mixing of human DNA, the Nephilim were probably raping people for all we know.
I mean, that's the world that he lived in, but he followed his divine intuition.
He followed what, you know, God's word and he built this oak.
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.
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.
But a big part of it is that kind of helping to reframe the word prepping, right?
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 the preparedness is actually just getting back to living in a traditional way, right?
So our grandparents who lived through the Great Depression or whatnot, they wouldn't say they're preppers, right?
That's just how they lived.
And I think that's one of the things.
If you look at the social engineering that's happened, 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.
And so it's really 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 wanted us to live in abundance with nature, looking to permaculture, animal husbandry, community building, you know, how to bake your own bread, all the different things.
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.
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.
Oh, you're a doomsday bunker kind of person.
This is the book that's like, okay, just give this a read, right?
It walks through the threats that we're currently facing as a world.
It gives a lot of historical examples of times we thought that, hey, we're invincible as America.
Then the Great Depression hit or the Dust Bowl or, you know, World War II or whatever it is.
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.
It's not just about becoming a prepper.
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 going to be forced into taking the mark of the beast system.
So we can actually survive outside of that.
And that's one of the intentions behind that.
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.
It was also a tornado shelter.
You don't 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.
And like my grandmother, you know, she would plant in the spring, harvest in the summer, can, can, can, like crazy.
And then that's what you would eat in the fall and the winter.
They never said, I'm a survivalist.
Exactly.
It was just like, of course, we're going to store food.
Otherwise, we all die.
You know, I mean, this, this is, these are common skills back in the day.
So I like your approach to that.
They're totally common skills.
And living off-grid is, it's a critical skill right now.
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, you know, capable of doing that.
We're not quite there yet on some of those.
But Seth, any final thoughts before we wrap this up today?
This has been fascinating already.
Yeah.
Well, one thing is I just want to thank you for what you've done.
You, I've learned so much from you.
Closing Thoughts on Preparedness Skills00:05:08
I mean, even another example, my wife picked up a panhandle that was actually sitting over one of our flames.
She didn't realize it.
She picked up a hot pan, burned her hand so bad.
And we're looking for solutions for this.
And we're thinking, okay, what about DMSO?
Can we use DMSO?
So I went and asked ChatGPT and did some research.
And it's like, okay, no, don't do that.
I say, hold on.
She goes, Seth, go ask Enoch.
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.
And so I just want to let you know that that's why I started the show by showing some of these products, right?
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, it doesn't matter.
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.
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.
And so I just want to thank you for that because you've been very, very helpful in this journey.
And so thank you, Seth.
Let me just mention the engine that you're referring to because, you know, we changed the name.
It used to be called Enoch and now it's Bright Answers.
So here it is.
It's brightanswers.ai, knowledge without censorship.
And yeah, we are constantly upgrading that also with more books as reference items and more science papers.
And then the other thing that we have just announced, you'll love this.
You know, on our BrightLearn.ai, we now have over 45,000 books and 10,000 authors.
If you click here on audio books, we now have downloadable full-length audio books.
Like the entire book is full-length audio.
You can download them all for free.
And we're producing maybe 15 to 20 per day.
So the chlorine dioxide audiobook, vanishing vaults, like how to hide your gold, you know, cancer.
Here's DMSO unlocked.
That's there you go.
So we're doing Fruke Off.
Yeah, there's Frukoff.
Yeah, awaken your middle finger.
Yeah, that's a very valuable philosophy.
So now, oh, and your digital doctor, et cetera.
So we're constantly trying to add more resources for people to be able to get more decentralized and have, you know, have the PDF files and have the MP3 files so you have your local knowledge.
And I also, I prioritize this book, Chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz, so people can understand the straight of hormuz.
But I didn't write that book.
Somebody else here, what's their name?
Shazia M created that book.
And then I just queued it up for the audio book.
So you can just download the audio book right here.
So anyway, that's what we're doing.
And I love the fact that you and I both are creating tools and platforms for people to help people get prepared.
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.
So thank you for all that you do, Seth.
Absolutely.
And I think one, I guess, kind of final closing statement is that it's really important.
And this is, again, through my own struggles and my own shortfalls in this, to be doing all this stuff without fear.
And that's, it's not easy.
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.
But as evil as this stuff is, I think that fundamentally we have to remember that Satan didn't get God out of heaven, right?
It was vice versa.
So I think that anything that is allowed to happen on this earth, it's being allowed to happen by the creator, by God.
And I think that ultimately that's the true power.
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.
I'm not sure what's inside of these bodies that are walking around.
But inside of us, we have this divine spark.
We have this soul that God gave us.
I think God chose us to be here.
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.
It clouds our judgment.
It caused us to do things that are not godly.
Right.
And so I think that's one of the keys in this.
And that's why, even though this is pretty heavy conversation, you and I are both smiling.
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.
And, you know, so we're covering heavy topics.
We have to be able to do it in a way that we can still find hope in the future.
And so that's that, that's, yeah, that's what I'm trying my best to do is to still have hope.
And as my one, you know, the podcast kind of slogan is, is to be a voice of reason in a world gone mad.
And that's what I'm trying my best to do.
Yeah, I like that slogan.
That makes sense.
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?
It's always been, well, here's a heads up.
Nuclear War Survival Hope00:04:00
Here's a warning, but here's how to prepare.
And when you're prepared, you don't have to be fearful because you know how to handle all these things as you do.
You're one of the best prepared people around.
You and your wife and your family.
So great job.
And thank you for sharing your time with us today.
And I want to remind people again, your website is SethHolehouse.com.
Let me bring it up here.
There we go.
SethHolehouse.com.
And then for those of you who want to see more of my interviews, they're at brightvideos.com.
So thank you so much, Seth.
It's been a pleasure speaking with you today.
Lots of fun, except for the Disneyland part, but the rest of it was all good.
Yeah.
Thank you so much, Mike.
Sorry, sorry for that little curveball.
That's all right.
That's all right.
All right.
Thank you.
And thank you all for watching.
Mike Adams here of brightvideos.com.
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 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.
And by doing so, by shopping with us, you'll be supporting our platforms and our AI engines that we offer for free.
