Mike Adams and Michael Yon warn of "energy Armageddon" triggered by strikes on Iran's South Pars gas field and Qatar Energy, which they claim will starve 2 to 4 billion people. They allege a conspiracy to collapse the petrodollar, split nations like Thailand, and replace human cognition with AI via engineered famines. Asserting President Trump cannot stop Israel from potentially nuking shared fields or blocking the Strait of Hormuz, they predict global government failures and urge listeners to stock potassium iodide and freeze-dried food before supply chains collapse in a potential World War III scenario. [Automatically generated summary]
All right, welcome to the third hour of the Alex Jones show.
I'm Mike Adams filling in for Alex today, and I've got an incredible lineup for you here and a detailed critical analysis of what just happened and the multi-year implications for our world.
And the guest I have joining me in this segment coming up in about 15 minutes is Michael Jan, the war correspondent who predicted everything that you are seeing happen right now.
Now, I want to remind you that just two days ago here on the show, on Tuesday, I gave you a detailed analysis of what would happen if the critical energy infrastructure of specifically Qatar Energy and its natural gas exports, if that were taken offline because of the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
And if you go back and reference that show, you know, you'll see I was talking about fertilizer shortages, urea, sulfuric acid, which is critical for many industrial processes all around the world.
And I talked about how we could face food inflation, you know, a lot of price increases, but also supply chain disruption and things like critical minerals, including copper and zinc and aluminum.
We talked about the force majeure that has already been declared by dozens of companies worldwide because of their lack of access to critical energy out of Qatar.
Well, now here today, with that context in mind, I'm about to tell you that things are far worse because we are now on the track of the worst case scenario.
We're not 100% there yet, but something just happened yesterday that put us on a track, a very dangerous turning point that some are calling energy Armageddon.
And that's not hyperbole.
We are talking about a series of events.
And one of them was, well, you know, Israel first striking the South Pars gas field of Iran, and then Iran responding by striking some of the facilities of Qatar Energy.
We now have confirmation from the CEO of Qatar Energy in a Reuters interview that was just aired today, where now two of the 14 cryogenic facilities that produce natural gas for our world, two of the 14 have now been destroyed.
And the repair time of those two is three to five years.
And these are all quotes from the CEO of Qatar Energy.
I'm going to get into more detail in the next segment on all of this.
But what this means is that now 17% of Qatar Energy's annual production is offline for three to five years, which means that if this war ends tomorrow, which it won't, because, you know, Trump seems to be completely unwilling to negotiate with Iran on any terms that would guarantee the continued existence of Iran.
And Trump, as much as he chided Israel last night, saying that Israel shouldn't strike Iran's energy infrastructure there, Israel does whatever it wants.
And it just drags Trump along.
Trump's not in charge.
That's clear.
He's not in charge of Israel and he's certainly not in charge of Iran.
Trump's not in charge of this war and that's why it's escalating beyond his control.
But if this continues, if this gets worse, if there are more of these LNG facilities destroyed, and they're called trains, by the way, and they're not choo choo trains, okay?
They are cryogenic heat exchangers, primarily, but they're called trains.
If all 14 are destroyed, this will lead to a 10-year global famine, and it will take 10 to 15 years to bring that production back online.
And according to estimates that I conducted with my AI research agents, anywhere from 2 to 4 billion human beings will starve and die over the next decade.
So we're talking about a wipeout of up to half of the current human population if this escalates to the destruction of all 14 of those trains.
And remember, two of those 14 are already destroyed.
And that's confirmed by the CEO of the company.
$20 billion in annual losses in revenue alone.
So I'll cover this in more detail when we return right after this short break.
It's just a one-minute break.
I'll be back.
Mike Adams here on the Alex Jones show.
Stay tuned.
All right.
Welcome back, folks.
Mike Adams here reporting live from my studios near Austin, Texas, filling in for Alex on this third hour of the show today.
And as I just mentioned in the brief segment there, things have gotten considerably worse since I reported on Tuesday.
The entire world is at risk now because of the escalation of the destruction of energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf.
Petrodollar Collapse Imminent00:03:16
Just to recap quickly, Israel struck Iran's gas fields with a missile strike, destroying some amount of Iran's gas production capability, but not all of it.
And Iran retaliated against Qatar, striking Qatar Energy and taking off two of its 14 natural gas production trains, as they're called.
They're not actual trains.
They're just called trains because it's like boxcars of processes that take place for the liquefaction of natural gas, purification, liquefaction, etc.
And that facility is arguably the single most important facility in the world for Western industry and Western nations.
And as of right now, we have Force Majeure declared by Qatar Energy.
This is confirmed by the CEO of Qatar Energy in an interview with Reuters.
Force Majeure declared for the countries of Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China.
And of course, Taiwan is a major importer of this gas from Qatar, as well as Japan.
And as of right now, what that means is that Force Majeur means that Qat Energy is saying they cannot meet their long-term contractual legal obligations because what has happened is that Iran destroyed two of the 14 trains, as they're called, that produce this liquid natural gas that powers Western civilization and also that's used to produce fertilizer for food crops.
And out of this field comes helium, as well as urea, as well as sulfuric acid, etc.
So, well, sulfuric acid, more out of the oil fields, excuse me, but out of the gas fields, it's helium.
And it is ultimately through the Haberbash process, they turn natural gas into nitrogenous fertilizers.
And then sulfuric acid is also needed for the production of phosphate fertilizers.
All of that has been sharply cut off because of the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains closed, even though President Trump has repeatedly claimed total victory over Iran.
And he has claimed that he has completely and utterly decimated Iran's Navy and Air Force.
And yet, somehow, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed unless you have permission from Iran.
And Iran did give permission to an Indian-bound oil tanker that agreed to pay for its oil in Chinese yuan instead of US dollars.
So the petrodollar is on the verge of collapse.
Not the US dollar as a currency, but the petrodollar status is about to collapse because of Iran's grasp or grip on the Strait of Hormuz.
But getting back to Qatar Energy, what you need to understand is that our world will be facing a decade-long famine.
10 years of famine with massive starvation of billions of people, literally billions of people, if all 14 of these LNG trains are destroyed.
Decade of Global Famine00:02:21
Two of them are destroyed right now, just to repeat.
Two of them are destroyed.
That takes out 17% of Qatar's LNG capacity.
And again, the repair time on that, on those two trains, is three to five years, according to the CEO.
And again, this is confirmed through Reuters.
You're seeing the headline right there.
The repair time, if you destroy or if Iran destroys five or six of these trains, or let's say seven, which would be half of the trains that exist, the repair time stretches out to seven years, eight years.
And if you destroy all 14, then the repair time is 10 to 15 years, which means our world will face, again, a decade of famine, during which, like I said, anywhere from one fourth to one half of the world's population will starve and die.
And I'm pausing for emphasis there because this is where things get serious.
This is a turning point.
We either have to de-escalate this war, Trump has to stop listening to Israel and stop arming Israel and stop doing Israel's bidding, or the whole world burns and up to half of the human population dies, including populations in many of our ally countries, countries that are now rethinking whether they should have alliances with the United States, countries like Taiwan.
And China has already extended reportedly, maybe not through official channels, but China is extending an umbrella of protection to Taiwan and saying, if you reunify with the mainland, well, maybe that's not even the right word.
It was never part of the mainland, but if you join with mainland China and become part of China, like Hong Kong did, then we will provide you energy and protection.
And that would put Taiwan's semiconductor in the hands of China.
And that would take away the key semiconductor manufacturing leader from America and Western civilization.
And it would clearly put China in the lead, not only in AI technology, which they're already leading in terms of the science, because they're writing all the best science papers on AI tech now, but that would put China in the lead on microchip manufacturing to where they could clearly out-manufacture the United States.
Taiwan Semiconductor Threat00:15:37
And on top of that, China has a much more resilient and much larger power grid.
And China has also created redundancy with its power grid by erecting massive solar farms, wind farms, believe it or not.
It's not just coal-fired power plants in China.
It's also hydropower.
In fact, they're building a new hydropower project that dwarfs the Three Gorges Dam.
And remember that China's total aggregate energy output already dwarfs the United States.
It's more than double the U.S. total power grid output.
Now, think about this.
So we could lose Taiwan over this war, for one thing.
Our allies like South Korea and Japan and even Vietnam and even some of these other ones that are named, Italy, Belgium, they could suffer rolling blackouts or grid down scenarios like Cuba.
What happens when the grid goes down?
Well, people start to revolt.
Economies collapse.
The world burns.
That's what would happen.
That's what will happen if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed and if these 14 trains are destroyed.
Again, a 10 to 15 year rebuild time.
But it's not just that.
The Qatar energy facility that transfers liquefied natural gas to the transport ships.
It has, I believe, 14 berths, which are the docks where ships come in and then load up with the energy.
14 berths.
These are deep water berths with a depth of, I believe, 17 meters.
And in order for these ships to be able to load up there, obviously these berths have to function.
Iran could destroy the berths in addition to the trains, which are, you know, the liquefied natural gas production facilities.
And there's a component in these trains that's called the main cryogenic heat exchanger or MCHE, the main cryogenic heat exchangers.
These components are only made by one company in the world.
And that's a company that is in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
And that company has right now a three to four year wait time on making one of these units.
And if they had to make 14 of these units, that's what would take 10 to 15 years.
But on top of that, if Iran bombs the berths where the ships dock, then it would take at least five to six years to restore the berths because you'd have to come in and spend billions of dollars on dredging operations and reconstruction of those facilities where the ships come in.
And if Iran destroyed the transfer pipelines of the natural gas, then you're talking more costs and more years.
And if you add it all up, Iran with just a few key missiles could destroy the linchpin of Western civilization.
And on top of that, it would cost over $100 billion for Qatar to rebuild this.
And it couldn't even begin doing that until the war ends because there are no lenders who will loan money to rebuild something in the middle of a war zone, especially when it was just destroyed by war, by Iran.
And Iran has promised, by the way, and maybe you can run some footage of the Iranian spokesperson, although he's not speaking in English, but Iran has promised that if they are struck again by Israel onto their energy infrastructure, that they will turn the Qatar energy infrastructure facility into ash.
That means total destruction of all 14 trains.
14 trains is more fingers than Netanyahu has.
That's a lot of trades.
And if those 14 trains are destroyed, the world as we know it comes to an end.
And again, it's not just millions that will starve.
It's not just hundreds of millions.
It's billions who will starve.
Yeah, there's the Iranian spokesperson saying basically what I just said.
Now, then Trump then tweeted out last night or posted on Truth Social.
He said, oh, we didn't know that Israel was going to attack Iran and Israel needs to stop doing that.
They did it without our permission.
That's interesting because then Israel responded and immediately said, oh, no, no.
We had permission from the U.S.
They were fully informed.
They knew what we were going to do.
And then Trump says, if Iran continues to strike energy infrastructure in Qatar, then we will basically nuke, although he didn't use the term nuke, but he said something like the most powerful weapon ever or something.
We will destroy the entire gas field that Iran is tapping into, which is south of Iran, because it's a gas field underneath the waters of the Persian Gulf.
So, Trump is threatening to destroy the entire gas field that Iran taps into.
The problem is, it's the same gas field that Qatar Energy taps into, because Qatar Energy calls it its north field, because Qatar is located to the southwest of the field.
So, Iran and Qatar both tap into the same field.
Trump threatened to just destroy it.
There's his tweet.
There it is.
He says he's going to destroy that gas field.
And he doesn't want to, but he will if Iran continues these attacks.
Friends, if Trump does that, then that will be the single most outrageous act of anti-human genocide that the world has ever seen.
Because again, two to four billion human beings will starve to death.
And if you take just the average of that, 3 billion human beings, you know, that's 500 Holocausts.
You know, even if you take the official numbers of the Holocaust, Adolf Hitler killing a reported 6 million Jews, and whether or not you think that number is totally accurate, if you multiply that number by 500, you get 3 billion.
That's how many people Trump will indirectly cause to die if he bombs that field and destroys it.
And it will be the end of civilization as we know it.
And that's where we are right now.
So with that context, let me ask the producers, do we have Michael on board yet?
Has he joined?
Let me know.
Okay, let's bring in Michael Yan, who predicted all of this numerous times.
So welcome to the show, Michael.
Thanks for taking time.
I know you're in Japan.
I know you're up at crazy hours, but thanks for taking the time to join me today.
Hey, thanks, Michael.
And thanks for having me on.
I was just listening to what you were saying.
It's dead on.
I mean, you've warned about this so many times as well.
I mean, collectively together and others have warned.
It must have been thousands of warnings we gave that this day would come or likely would come.
And I mean, to the point where we almost, I mean, I mentioned it almost daily for years.
And so will Trump do something like blow up that gas field?
I think clearly he will.
And in fact, that's part of their game plan.
That's, you know, whether it was blowing up Nord Stream or shutting off Groeningen and the screw worms knocking farmers off their fields around the world in so many countries.
They've been, you know, opening up the dairying gap, letting the architecture survive for mass invasions.
This is all part of a larger war construct.
And you can see that the Middle East is being, well, it's being disassembled.
And I don't think it's going to stop.
I think it's going to increase only because, again, this is what they are, this is what they've been working for for years is to create these global famines to do depopulation.
For instance, as you know, the death jabs are part of the depopulation.
Catherine Austin Fitz, as you know, has talked about the control grid for years, as have you and others.
And this is, you know, the food will drive people into, you know, digital grid, obviously, so you can control and enslave the people who are left behind.
And as you mentioned earlier as well, you know, Taiwan can be compelled to just peace, you know, peacefully, if you want to call it that, join up with China because they're going to be starving.
You know, I've been to Taiwan recently a couple of times, and obviously, I mean, they're not going to have much ability to resist in the future world.
It's just not going to be there.
I mean, they can certainly go Kinetic.
Well, Michael, let me jump in here because what you're hinting at there is how not only is the U.S. losing its influence in the Middle East, these Arab Gulf states are realizing that the U.S. is a bad ally to have because it just puts a giant target on your back.
And also, basically, having a U.S. military base in your country is a magnet for incoming missiles and bombs, right, and drones.
So that's one thing they've learned.
And Qatar is about to suffer a total loss of its entire economy if this energy infrastructure gets destroyed.
But losing Taiwan, which is now suddenly very feasible, is a very real possibility.
And on top of that, as you note, because I think you're in Japan right now, didn't a high-level Japanese official just reject Trump and Trump's demand for Japan to send military aid for the Strait of Hormuz and to sign on to some letter condemning Iran?
Didn't Japan just reject that?
Yes.
And I've been telling Japan for years they should get their energy from Russia.
It's very important to shrink those supply chains because Japan is very vulnerable to famine.
And you go around and look at the farms.
Many are just empty.
I mean, huge amounts of farmland empty.
Bears running around.
The bears are killing people now constantly.
And the deer and monkeys and wild hogs up there running around everywhere because the farmers are gone.
You know, Japan is, actually, today I'm going to fly to Okinawa because if and when at this point China takes Taiwan, they're going to need to then take Ryuku, which is, you know, Luchu, Okinawa.
Those are old names for Okinawa.
And because, you know, when on the grand strategy, on the larger strategic level, Taiwan, I mean, in order to secure China's sea lanes to China, they need to take Taiwan and they need to take Luchu, you know, Okinawa.
This is something, for instance, that Commodore Perry talked about in his report to Congress in 1854.
I've got the original reports.
Commodore Matthew Perry is the one who opened up Japan in 1854.
He came over in 1853 and came back in 54.
Japanese call it the black ships.
And he opened it up, but he talked specifically and mapped out, again, they called it Luchu back then.
And then in 1879, when Grant came here, President Grant, he specifically talked about Luchu, how important it was, how this could end up being a cause.
This is 1879, right?
Grant was talking about how Luchu, the fight over Luchu could end up, or Okinawa, could end up leading to a war between China and Japan, and that actually foreign actors would try to provoke this war and then put both Japan and China into debt traps.
Now, he was warning about this explicitly in volume 29 of his letters.
I've got the whole 32-volume set in my other library room.
It's an amazing set of letters back and forth between the Emperor of Japan and 1879 for President Grant.
The point here, I mean, that's fascinating that here's history repeating itself.
And I know you're a collector of books and letters and artifacts from history.
And that's very valuable right now because history is repeating in many ways.
And there was Trump with a Japanese official saying bizarre things about Pearl Harbor also that was highly inappropriate.
But nevertheless, these Asian nations, in particular, Taiwan and Japan and South Korea, even Vietnam, even Thailand, are also extremely vulnerable to these supply chains, as you just said.
And even though these are all considered U.S. allies in one way or another, specifically strongly Taiwan and Japan and South Korea, Trump has mistreated them.
Trump has punished them with punitive tariffs.
Trump has hit Taiwan with Section 301 trade sanctions, blaming them for producing too much stuff.
Trump has continued what is effectively the military occupation of Japan since 1945, and forcing Japan to continue to buy what I believe will be worthless U.S. treasuries.
And that has driven Japan to a point of financial desperation and now energy shortages right now.
So do you think, Michael, that all of these, especially Asian nations are going to have to rethink their alliances and maybe divorce the United States and join the BRICS nations if this continues?
What's your take?
It's going to come down to their own internal security, whether they, what they decide to do, Michael.
Thailand, let's talk about Thailand for a moment.
The problems are hitting Thailand immediately.
Misako and I were just in Thailand after we flew in from Europe, where we just were up at the Danish Strait and everywhere else over there looking around at the food issues.
We just spent more than a month with Catherine Austin Fitz.
Actually, I'm going to look at you so I can see your visual cues.
That's the camera.
That's you.
That's why I'm looking over here.
No, it's okay.
Get a look at the camera.
I'll just jump in.
Trying to be polite with the audience and also pick up your visual cues doesn't reconcile.
So anyway, we flew in after this recent trip to Europe.
Masako and I had flown to Taiwan and then we flew to Europe, spent three months in Europe and we were at the Danish Strait and actually left Denmark just before the war started because I didn't want to get caught over there because I had predicted the war would start between the 22nd of February and the 3rd of March.
And I was publicly predicting that.
I was publishing it and that sort of thing.
And then I said, let's get out of here.
I don't want to get stuck in the Middle East.
And we left and we got, so we'd gone to Taiwan, then we went to Europe for several months and we were looking at the Danish Strait.
We were looking at the Baltic area because that is part of the same battlefield.
Then we punched back out to Thailand, not Taiwan, but Thailand.
And we were there looking at the food issues again.
And then we came back to Japan where we are now.
Now, Thailand.
Thailand is the hyphen in Indo-Pacific security.
I used to have an office there.
Global Lockdown Predicted00:11:38
It's very important, right?
It's super important.
And about maybe four years ago, I was in Europe looking at food issues in places like Ireland and Netherlands and other places, Germany.
And I called up Mark Abhiset, former prime minister of Thailand.
I had written the last two pages of his book called The Simple Truth.
Stand by, Michael.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
We're about to go to break.
Let me inform the audience that we are talking about an engineered global famine that could last a decade or longer, during which potentially billions of human beings could starve to death if this war continues to escalate.
And we already have two out of the 14 trains at Qatar Energy destroyed with an up to five-year replacement time.
If all 14 are gone, our world is done as we know it.
Michael Jan is my guest.
We'll be right back after this break to continue this conversation.
All right.
Welcome back, folks.
This is hour number three of the Alex Jones Show.
I'm Mike Adams joining you from my studios near Austin.
I'm the editor of naturalnews.com.
You want to check things out there?
And also, I wrote a book on my book engine that you can get for free.
And if you could actually, on my side, just show my screen for a second.
I've got a full audio book available.
It's called The Last Molecule, How Trump's War on Iran Shattered the Global Energy Order.
So that's free at books.brightlearn.ai.
You can just download the MP3 right there.
Again, I put all these books out for free.
I put this book together yesterday based on a lot of AI research.
Okay, thank you for that.
I always want to contribute free resources to help people gain knowledge and understanding of the fragile nature of our civilization.
Our guest for this segment, continuing, is Michael Jan.
His handle on X is Michael underscore Jan, Y O N.
And he's also on Substack at michaeljan.substack.com.
Now, Michael, of course, I have to give you credit, as I always do, because not only have you predicted this exact scenario numerous times, and you're saying that this is engineered global famine, that Trump and Israel are intentionally escalating this to the point where global energy infrastructure is destroyed.
And you mentioned the jabs and Operation Warp Speed.
I just want to remind our audience that, you know, even if you understand that those JABs killed, let's say, 1.5 million Americans, that's nothing compared to the number of humans that are about to die from starvation over the next few years if this war is not de-escalated in the Middle East.
So, Michael, can you please speak to the engineered nature of this and help back up your conclusions that this is all being done on purpose in order to kill billions of people?
Yeah, this must be live, actually, right?
We must be live now, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We're live.
The reason I say that is because, you know, I've told you everywhere every country I go to, people are, you know, like, I saw you on Mike Adams.
It's weird.
And I just got a message from one of Ab Hissett's close friends with a photo of me and Ab Hissett while we were on break, you know, the former prime minister of Thailand, right?
So I just sent it to you.
So my friend must be watching from Thailand right now.
And so anyway, but so yeah, I need to get back to Thailand, by the way, to tell all the top government people I need to come back and brief you again.
But why was I just in Thailand again?
Because this is engineered.
We can clearly see billions of people are about to be starved to death.
And that's why they've spent years building up the infrastructure to invade countries as well with the migration, the human osmotic pressure from famine is intense.
That's the hop.
Human osmotic pressure is the push and pull of migration.
That's why we spent so much time in Dairy and Gap, obviously.
And Thailand right now is already starting to have problems.
Why is this important?
A lot of these countries, like I'm in Japan right now, Japan just can't produce enough of its own food, period.
So it's dependent on countries like Thailand.
Ab Hissett, whose photo I just sent to you, you're welcome to put it up online.
That's me and him during one of the coups in 2010, I think.
And so I'm actually in his office in that photo.
And so what I'm getting to is Thailand is one of the countries that places like Japan depend on if there's any problems.
But Thailand is Japan has already reduced their strategic rice storage supply.
And Japan is, I mean, sorry, and Thailand is just unable, is going to be unable to export to places like Japan.
No matter how much money you have, they're just not going to have it.
So what I'm saying is this is globally systemic.
You know that.
Most of the people watching your show certainly know that.
And so there's not going to really be a lot of places to run and hide because it is systemic and it is semi-permanent.
I mean, this is like, this is going to be like a 10-year, this is strategic.
It's not something like locusts that go away next season.
It's strategic, it's global, and it's engineered.
Michael, let me read this for you here because I also did some research before the show.
The UAE has now gone to zero energy production.
So UAE energy output is at a near total collapse.
This is from Reuters.
This is from Bloomberg.
This is from CNBC and Al Jazeera and a dozen other sources.
Okay.
So that daily oil production from the UAE, all offshore fields are now offline.
Okay.
All offshore fields are now offline because they can't offload the stored oil that they have.
So they've got a lot of stored oil, but that's full.
Their gas field, the Shah gas field, was struck by a drone on March 16 and set ablaze.
That's been suspended.
There are other details here.
I'm not going to go into all the details, but basically, UAE is offline.
That is the largest OPEC exporter of oil.
So not only do we have Qatar Energy with its gas completely offline at the moment because the Strait is closed, but we have, you know, we have UAE oil offline.
And right now, like this could be, this could be reversed largely if the strait were opened tomorrow.
But that would require Trump to do something sane, you know, like agree to take a loss and leave and let the strait open back up again.
And I don't see that that's going to happen.
Do you?
Like, how do you think Trump is going to handle this?
Because it looks like he's just going to keep going full escalation and making it worse.
What do you think?
Full escalation and make it worse because this is the actual plan.
The reason that, again, we're so accurate on these predictions is not, we're not throwing darts, right?
Or let's say we're throwing darts with a very trained arm, right?
I mean, we have an idea of what they're doing.
We may miss sometimes, but we're hitting bullseyes one after another, year after year, right?
And so I would keep eyes on places like Strait of Malacca over near Singapore and Indonesia and Malaysia.
I mean, I think that that will probably be closed.
Panama Canal is very important for food going back and forth.
I keep a sharp look on Panama.
We were just up at the Danish Strait.
I think there's a high chance that'll be, that's up in obviously Denmark, Germany area, Sweden area.
That's there's an obvious possibility that'll be closed.
That's part of the menu.
You look at the Turkish Strait.
Turkish Strait is something that I flew in to see the prime minister or former prime minister of Thailand about years ago, warning about Turkish Strait and Strait of Hormuz.
If the Turkish Strait were to be closed, that would have immediate effects on Thailand and or the Strait of Hormuz, right?
Now we have the Strait of Hormuz, has immediate effects on the globe, not just Thailand.
I was just focused on Thailand because that's where I happen to be at, or I flew in to talk with him because Thailand is so important on food supply.
Now, why is the Turkish Strait so important that Israel is threatening now?
It's so important because Ukrainian and Russian fertilizer flow through the Bosphorus, also called the Turkish Strait.
So you've got these various chokeholds like Panama, Strait of Gibraltar, Suez, Turkish Strait, Baba al-Mandeb, Strait of Hormuz, obviously Malacca.
I think that, and the Danish Strait, I think that you can easily, we were just up in Hamburg, Germany, looking at that as well.
Homburg is the third biggest port in Europe, and it's the biggest in Germany.
I think there's a high possibility you'll see places like Rotterdam, Antwerp, Homburg eventually also disrupted because the chance.
You're talking about a global lockdown.
I mean, if these routes are shut down, you mentioned the Strait of Malacca as well.
My God, I mean, India is already struggling to try to get energy right now.
If you close down the Strait of Malacca, that cuts off India from much of East Asia in terms of manufacturing as well as imports and exports.
India's economy collapses.
India is already begging China for urea in order to run its fertilizer facilities in order to feed the Indian people, many of whom live on the edge of poverty right now.
We're talking about mass starvation in India for starters, right?
I mean, it's one of the most vulnerable countries that I can think of.
And Indonesia.
Pakistan and India.
I spent about a year in India.
I spent about a year in India and I spent all over India.
Now, that's one of the things that I flew in to see Mark Abhiset, former prime minister of Thailand.
That's the reason I flew in a few years ago, three or four years ago to see him.
And I was said, if these things happen, Pakistan and India almost and Bangladesh almost certainly will go into famine and they will come right to Thailand, right?
Because hop, human osmotic pressure.
And there's a, I've already reconned it from, I've been over to India and Bangladesh and Myanmar and Thailand, and I looked at the route specifically.
You can easily go.
There's no dairy and gap in between.
They're going to go straight to Thailand.
There's not going to be any way to stop them, right?
What I'm getting to is this is a rearrangement and destruction of many countries around the world.
In fact, I was just messaging over the last month or so with somebody in Thailand, a very serious businessman who's now in the cannabis business.
He refused to meet with me.
I first met with him during one of the coups and now he's a big cannabis grower.
And I wanted to, he's Thai and I wanted to warn him, you know what I mean?
This cannabis stuff that they're pushing all over Thailand right now, that is part of the destruction of Thailand.
They're going to be growing cannabis and not corn.
Cannabis and dumbing down the population.
And it's also absorbing a lot of the places where you should be growing food, right?
This is all part of the larger war plan or the drugs.
All right.
So let me, you mentioned we should be growing more food.
Depopulation War Plan00:13:12
One of the things that's competing for food production right now in America is, of course, data centers.
So data centers are being constructed on farmland.
And because there's no real ability to purchase gas turbines right now, which convert natural gas into electricity, because the gas turbines themselves have a very long multi-year wait time, in some cases, up to 10 years, depending on the size.
And by the way, where you're going to get the gas right now, I guess, well, America has a domestic supply, but that's going to get more expensive.
But the data centers need farms for solar panels because that's the fastest way that they can bring online gigawatt hours of power for the data centers.
Now, a couple of things on this, Michael, and I'd love to get your response.
We have to bring in the AI replacement theory here.
And I believe this theory is true.
I think that we, one of the reasons that there's engineered global famine that is happening right now is because there is a plan to exterminate billions of human beings and replace them with AI systems and robots.
So the AI systems replace the cognition.
Human cognition is obsolete in less than two years.
And human labor will be largely obsolete on a longer timeframe, but let's say by 2030.
Not everything, you know, there will still be plumbers, for example, and welders, what have you, but a lot of human labor will be taken over and automated.
But in order to do that, Michael, the governments know they can't afford to pay universal basic income to billions of people who are unemployable and not even as smart and capable as the machines.
So I think this is the run-up to a large global machine replacement of billions of human beings.
And I'd like to know your thoughts on that very point.
I mean, it's obvious.
I mean, you've talked about this so many times.
I think you can't even remember.
I mean, that's what they're doing.
And again, what's happening right now is unimaginable to most people just days ago.
Whereas people, the very few people like you and actually me have been predicting this for years.
So, I mean, this is because it's obvious.
They're saying what they're doing.
They're going, I would not doubt that we have a nuclear combat shortly, actually, because they don't care.
They're here to depopulate the Earth.
Now, there's this idea, actually, that they would never do that because of the radiation.
Many alleged anyway, nuclear weapons have been detonated over the years testing, right?
And we're still here, despite whatever radiation was released by hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs, and we're still here.
They won't hesitate to instigate full-scale exchange of nuclear weapons.
In fact, I would expect it because that would be another quickening of what they want.
You know, the idea that they have deep underground more than bunkers, but little towns and whatnot.
I mean, I think that's pretty clear that they could and would do that.
Well, it seemed like Trump was promising.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
There's a lag time because you're in Japan.
So I apologize.
But Trump was seemingly promising to nuke the gas field under the Persian Gulf.
If he were to do that, do you realize that thousands of ships would also be destroyed in that, including about half of the natural gas tanker vessels that exist on planet Earth?
About half of them would be destroyed, maybe or damaged, and that the rebuild time on those ships is years per ship.
You know, we're talking like 1,600 ships destroyed or something in that range, potentially.
So, I mean, that would end it right there.
Then it's collapse and mad max, just a matter of how bad and where, you know?
I mean, we're one nuke away from ending the world.
I think we're already at the mad max stage.
It just, it's a long flash to bang for a lot of, for a lot of the world, not the whole world yet, but it's clear that a lot of it's already going to go mad max because there's a sufficient amount that's already interrupted.
Now, it's a long flash to bang because there is a lot of fertilizer and energy still in the pipeline, still flowing for now.
And still, there's still nitrogen in the fields now.
But as you know, it's being depleted with every breath that we take and every grain of rice that's grown.
And so, but again, I would not be surprised at all that people are going to wake up and say, hey, Strait of Malacca is closed.
Turkish Strait's closed.
You know, we see Israel has been threatening Turkey anyway, right?
It's not hard to close these.
You can do it with one torpedo and say that it was a sea mine and there's mines out there all over the place, right?
Then the ships are going to stop floating there as well.
Right.
And all of that.
Yeah, what Iran has proven is it's not difficult to close a bottleneck.
All you have to do is credibly threaten to harass the ships and that's it.
Then the insurers won't insure the ships and it's done.
So, but you know, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Now, keep in mind, before this all happened, I've been saying many, many times I thought that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed.
And it will be us, say, the Zionists.
I'm not a Zionist, but let's say the Zionist forces that do it or impel it to be done by Iran and then blame Iran.
Now, there are clearly people that are worried that the, that the, uh, in the U.S. government that are worried that the and more specifically the Trump administration that are worried that the Strait of Hormuz is not completely closed and that countries like China can still get their energy through there and it's being exchanged in Yuan and not dollars, right?
And they're openly, or at least openly messaging to me that they are thinking they want Zionist forces wish to close the Strait of Hormuz because what they don't want is just people like China to get their energy through there or other countries in paying in Yuan, right?
So it's literally us that's closing the Strait of Hormuz, even if we do it through Iran.
But I mean, it's clear that we're forcing their hand and also and also a lot of these attacks that are happening in the Middle East.
Who's really doing them?
We don't know.
I mean, false flags are normal.
Israel instigated this latest round that resulted in the destruction of two of the LNG trains at Qatar Energy, even though Iran launched those missiles, but that was in retaliation against Israel's attack on Iran.
And again, Trump seems to be splitting, at least, you know, publicly with Israel on this point, saying, no, they attacked it without our permission and their attacks have to stop now.
I don't think Israel gives a hoot what Trump thinks.
I think Israel is going to do whatever it wants.
And my question to you, Michael, is how does Israel benefit from the entire world collapsing?
What's that?
Is it just end times prophecy invocations?
Or, you know, how does Israel benefit from this?
Well, you know, every war that we've ever heard of in our whole life comes down to three things, routes, resources, and ideology, right?
And ideology is about human resources, routes and resources, and ideology, which is human resources.
There are people in Israel.
There are Christian Zionists.
There are Zionists, some Zionist Jews and Shia, all who want Armageddon, right?
We got three Armageddonists colliding here, right?
So, I mean, not that everybody in any of these architectures are that, but there are a lot.
I mean, I know some of the Christian Zionists who are like, this is it.
This is what we've been waiting for, right?
And then there are some Jews that are the same way, right?
And then they're not all because these things are so split, right?
I think most Christians don't want this to happen.
And most Jews don't want this to happen.
And most Shia don't want it to happen either, right?
But there is a subset.
And remember, it doesn't take everybody.
It doesn't take, you don't, you only need one arsonist in a town to get the thing on fire, right?
And there's a lot more than one.
So there's the ideological aspect.
There are people that want Armageddon, full stop, period.
And some of these people are in the top levels of, let's say, government, which really is other architectures that are transnational and transcend any of our current governments, right?
Of which Netanyahu and Trump.
And speaking of Netanyahu, is that guy even dead?
Nobody knows, right?
Nobody knows if he's dead.
Hitler disappeared.
Was Hitler dead?
I don't know.
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, Netanyahu is an open question.
And he could have disappeared intentionally.
He might be down in Patagonia or in a basement down in Tel Aviv.
I don't know.
Or he could have been hooded up and captured by his own people.
I don't know.
But the bottom line is there's a lot of things, a lot of intrigues that are unfolding.
But on the larger scale, we're going to end up seeing famines because this is the plan to begin with.
That's, again, why I've warned so many times about these major routes that can be cut off.
I would not be surprised at all that in the next day or two, we start to see more pipelines get.
Notice that pipeline in Libya was just hit.
So we see places that are outside the battle zone also getting switched off, like Nordstream before, some years before, or groaning in some years before.
I'm coming up how.
You mentioned Nordstream.
Sorry to jump in, but Nordstream was also, that was a weapon.
I mean, the U.S. weaponized the destruction of Nordstream in order to try to punish Russia and to cut off Europe from Russian energy and to make European countries dependent on U.S. energy exports for the profiteering of U.S. natural gas companies, right?
And so we've seen that before.
We've seen the deliberate terroristic destruction of civilian energy infrastructure carried out by the U.S. Navy.
So for those watching, if you're skeptical of something that Michael is saying here or that I'm saying, realize that this has already been done before, just recently.
So the cutting off of energy is a strategic weapon to cause famine, to cause depopulation, and to disrupt the world order as we know it.
I mean, even right now, Michael, wouldn't you say that the world's energy order is never going back to the way it was?
I mean, we're never going to have gas and oil, not in our lifetimes, at the volumes and the low prices that we saw before February 28th, right?
I mean, this is the turning point.
It's cooked.
So this can usher in what Catherine Austin Fitz often talks about.
I just got some messages from her yesterday.
You know, Catherine Austin Fitz has been talking, you've been talking about the digital grid for a lot.
When did you start talking about that?
When you were in diapers?
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, I don't remember you not talking about stuff like that.
You know, the digital grid, you know, when people need food, they're going to go for the digital grid, right?
They're going to be starving to death.
Entire countries like Taiwan could go for it, right?
Could go just under the, like the Hungry 40s.
If you look at the Hungry 40s, the 1840s in Europe, there was widespread food shortages and famines that caused the collapse of many, many governments.
So this will collapse governments.
You'll see governments one by one, they're going to be popping off like popcorn.
And so many that you'll never be able to keep track of it.
Right now, we're looking at gas fields being taken offline.
And tomorrow, it's going to be governments collapsing like India and like Pakistan and so many more.
Bangladesh and Thailand, actually, there's been a concerted effort for years to split Thailand apart.
And Japan is obviously an extreme risk.
Well, and this is also going to be a recalibration of the global order where the U.S. will lose its dominance and the petrodollar will lose its hegemonic status.
And also the U.S. military has been shown to be largely a paper tiger in this case.
Yeah, the military can bomb a lot of targets and put out a lot of statistics and talk about how many buildings you blew up, but you still can't win because you still don't control the Strait of Horbuzz.
So with those factors in place, the U.S. is going to lose allies.
It's going to lose trade domination.
It's already lost its reputation, and Trump has managed to turn most of the world against the United States.
We used to have friends under Joe Biden, believe it or not.
And now a lot of those countries are turning into enemies.
Michael, we are out of time.
I'm sorry that we've run out of time so quickly.
I want to give out your handle again, Michael underscore Yan, Y-O-N at Twitter.
