Mike Adams details the "flash-to-bang" delay, warning that Iran's destruction of two Qatar Energy gas trains will trigger a 17% output collapse within months. He predicts that destroying all 14 trains would eliminate 22% of global LNG exports, causing industrial failure and starvation for billions by Thanksgiving. Adams asserts this escalation is intentional blackmail against Donald Trump via Israel, leading to a decade-long famine unless listeners immediately stockpile diesel, food, seeds, and ammunition before supply chains彻底 fail.

One of the most difficult concepts for people to understand is the, or what Michael Young calls the flash to bang delay, flash to bang.
So this is when, you know, he was a war correspondent.
So when you're in a war and you see a missile strike or a bomb that lands in the distance, you see the flash first.
And then the bang comes at the speed of sound, which of course is much less than the speed of light.
So that delay of flash to bang tells you your distance, by the way, your distance from the site.
You know, you can count the number of seconds and roughly calculate the speed of sound based on the current ambient conditions.
And then you can figure out exactly how far away that was.
But when it comes to economic events like the ones we're seeing right now, this destruction of energy infrastructure in the Middle East, the flash to bang time is months.
And given that very few Americans in particular have any idea where fertilizer comes from, or frankly, where their food comes from, or where energy comes from, where gas comes from, etc.
Given that, you know, by and large, the masses just don't even know the origins of anything, they're not even considering the implications of what just happened in the Middle East.
And I'm referring to, of course, the destruction of two of the 14 natural gas trains in Qatar that are part of Qatar Energy.
And the fact that those have been destroyed now means there's a three to five year wait time to repair those two.
And that's going to take 17% of Qatar Energy's annual gas output offline.
And Qatar Energy itself is responsible for over 20% of the global LNG exports.
So we're talking about basically 17% of 22% of the world's LNG exports have just been taken offline.
So what is that, like 4% or something of the world?
So, and that's just the start of where this could go because Iran is threatening to utterly destroy all 14 of the gasification trains.
And that would take 22% of the world's exported LNG offline.
And then we're talking about, we're talking about Armageddon.
We're talking about Mad Max.
But there's a flash to bang delay.
So you're going to see people out there shopping at the grocery store, driving around, filling up their, you know, their trucks and cars with gas, having no idea that life is about to change dramatically within six months.
They have no idea.
The news isn't going to tell them, that's for sure.
And they just don't have the knowledge to realize where all of this is headed.
They just flat out don't know.
Now, I work very hard to keep you informed.
And since we've just seen a flash, then we know a bang is coming, even though we don't know exactly when the bang is going to arrive.
But this effort at global depopulation, this effort won't kill people as quickly as the vaccine.
It'll kill people slowly through starvation and uprisings and chaos, collapse, industrial collapse, income collapse, housing collapse, etc.
Even though if all 14 of these LNG trains are taken offline, we're looking at 2 to 4 billion people starving to death.
It won't all happen at once.
It'll happen over time, over a few years.
But the economic chaos is going to start to arrive now.
And you're seeing it in gas prices and diesel prices right now.
You're going to see it in food prices in the coming months.
And then later on this year, I'm going to say around Thanksgiving, you're going to see food shortages that will be shocking.
I don't mean that every shelf is going to be empty.
It won't be like that.
But you'll have scarcity that you haven't seen since COVID.
And that's just the beginning.
Because with energy shortages and fuel shortages, and remember, the United Arab Emirates is now completely offline in terms of new oil production.
They've shut down everything.
They're at zero production of oil and gas right now.
Because of that, food's going to become much more expensive, much more scarce.
You will see that this year.
No question about it.
And when you do, you'll, you know, you'll know at that time, hey, we saw this coming.
So there's this gap between the time that people like you and I know what's coming versus the time or the moment that the masses realize what has just hit them.
And that gap is your window of opportunity.
It's a window of opportunity to get the things that you need to get to be able to live in a more self-reliant fashion after all this hits the fan.
So even for myself, I have to think hard about this.
You know, I've been working on trying to have a home energy storage system and to go completely off-grid to where I could have enough, you know, solar and a backup generator and have enough battery storage that I could, you know, and even have an EV, by the way.
Not that I like any of the current EVs that are available, but some new ones are coming.
But to be able to have transportation from sunlight, that's a big deal.
And the battery technology that I want is not quite ready, but I'm going to have to pull the trigger on something, even though it's not necessarily ideal.
And, you know, because it's going to be very difficult to get solar panels maybe six months from now.
It's going to be very difficult to get batteries.
You know, manufacturing will be sharply reduced.
Transportation will be reduced.
The world's gas supply, that is natural gas, that powers industry and powers power grids all over the world, that's going to become increasingly scarce.
And it's just going to be very difficult to get the things that you need to get.
So, number one, if you don't yet have a diesel generator, think about getting that.
And if you do get a diesel generator, make sure you get 500 gallons of diesel at minimum.
And even though diesel is more expensive now, a lot more expensive than it was, you know, 30 days ago, it's going to get way more expensive.
So it's kind of a good idea to get it now.
And remember that you don't have to buy diesel at the gas station with the federal taxes on it if you're using it for just a generator.
You can buy what's called red dye diesel, which is a lot less expensive.
But typically, you have to buy 500 gallons at a time or more.
So that's why I say 500-gallon tank is about the right size to start with.
And then from there, you know, food supplies, natural medicine, garden seeds, probably ammunition if you don't yet already have enough, things like that.
You're going to need all those things.
You have a window of opportunity to get them.
And that window is closing.
Now, this is unlike a lot of other previous emergencies where I had very high concern about certain things that might happen.
For example, I've expressed concern previously about, you know, false flags before an election or after an election or maybe the risk of civil war or revolts or whatever.
And those were all rooted in risk assessments, but none of those things had actually happened at the time that we were discussing the risk.
What's different about today is that this has happened.
That the energy infrastructure partially has been destroyed.
Already confirmed.
Confirmed by the CEO of Qatar Energy in an interview with Reuters, for example.
So it's already confirmed.
And what that means is that this isn't just a speculative risk assessment.
This is just dominoes that have already begun to fall.
This is cause and effect.
And there's no way to stop this.
So this is not a, you know, there's a, it's not something where there's a 50% chance that this is going to happen or an 80% chance.
There is a 100% chance that the world's energy supply has taken some major hits and it is beginning to crater because that's already happened.
So there is a 100% chance that fertilizer shortages are going to worsen because it has already begun.
There is a 100% chance that crop yields are going to be lower, that food prices are going to be higher, that transportation costs are going to increase substantially, and that fuel prices will continue to increase.
Those are all certainties.
There is no question whatsoever that that's going to happen.
So what does that mean?
Well, of course, your preparedness supplies.
Everything that you've already stored away, hold on to it.
You might want to inventory your supplies.
You might want to see if you're missing anything, if you need to shore it up in any areas.
Do you have some old food that you might want to just eat and then replace it with newer supplies?
You know, we've got our supplies, obviously, and we have a sale going on.
It's the customer appreciation sale, healthrangerstore.com/slash appreciate.
Just type that into your browser, healthrangerstore.com slash appreciate.
And there we have garden seeds as well as all of our storable foods and everything else.
So get that while you can if you don't have enough there.
I already mentioned some of the other categories as well.
This is a time to stock up.
Now, remember that the CEO of Qatar Energy says it's got to be three to five years before they can repair these two liquefaction units.
And that's because the components that they use are only built by one company.
And that company is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
And the wait time is, well, three to five years for those components.
If more of these liquefaction trains get destroyed, then the wait time increases to 10 to 15 years.
And the reason I mentioned that, although I've stated it over and over on other podcasts and interviews, the reason is because most people who are preppers think they have enough food and supplies to make it through until things return to normal.
And for a lot of preppers, that's a one-year timeline.
And think, hey, I have a year supply of food stored.
I'm set.
I'm good.
Got a one-year supply.
Okay.
Okay, great.
What about a 10-year famine?
Yeah, right?
Because that's what we're looking at potentially if the escalation continues and if more of the natural gas trains are destroyed.
10-year famine, actually 10 to 15 years.
So can your supplies last 10 years?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
I don't think mine can.
And I'm prepped more than most by far.
So you're going to have to have a system to grow food.
You're going to have to have a system to outlast the Mad Max collapse scenarios that will happen in various countries and cities and regions all across the world.
Because that's where this is going.
And it looks like it's happening on purpose.
It looks like, you know, Trump started this war on purpose.
Israel wants it to happen on purpose.
They want Armageddon.
They want the world to burn.
And that's exactly what's happening.
The world is being decimated on purpose by Israel and then Trump being obedient to Israel.
That's where we are.
And I don't see any evidence that there's any off-ramp to this that Trump is going to take because he's obviously been blackmailed with whatever is in the Epstein files or something else.
Otherwise, he wouldn't still be obedient to Israel at this point.
So Trump's blackbailed.
That's clear.
He's going to do whatever Israel wants and he's going to set the world on fire, which means there's going to be Mad Max collapse in numerous countries all around the world.
Now, you might say, well, in America, you know, we have more energy, which we do.
We have more gas.
We have more oil.
We have more food capability in America than most countries.
And that is true.
That is true.
But that only means we're going to have Mad Max light rather than, you know, full-blown Mad Max or, you know, maximum Mad Max.
Because some countries are going to have max Mad Max.
The U.S., maybe not.
Maybe we have Mad Max Light, but that's still far worse than what anybody anticipates.
People aren't even thinking about Mad Max anything.
They're thinking, ah, it's just a war over there.
It doesn't affect us.
Things are going to return to normal after a period of time, blah, blah, blah.
And besides, you know, there's something good on Netflix or whatever, you know, I have to take the kids to soccer practice, that kind of thing.
So the average American isn't paying attention at all.
And that won't change until the bang hits.
When the bang hits, then there's going to be a lot of unhappy people who suddenly realize that they were wrong to mock preppers.
When the bang hits, that is, you know, the supply chain collapse, fuel prices will go through the roof, food prices will go through the roof, availability will become the most important factor.
People will buy food at any price.
I mean, for example, if I were trying to profiteer off of food, which I'm not, but if I were, I would stop selling my food buckets right now and I would just wait six months because their value will double.
But I'm not that kind of person.
Stock Up Before Prices Rise00:02:35
You know, I want you to get the food now ahead of time while you can at essentially last year's prices.
So you can do that.
HealthRangerStore.com slash appreciate.
But understand that what you're buying now is, I'm just guessing, it's half the price that it will be, you know, maybe, I don't know, let's say by early next year.
Let's give it 10 months for prices to double.
That's a reasonable guess.
Might be more, might be less.
But within a year or so, these prices will be much, much higher.
And we might be out of business because we won't be able to acquire supplies.
At least not at the volumes that we can currently acquire.
Now, right now, in the supply chain, we can still buy food.
I found out, I was talking to my staff, I told them get out there and buy everything you can.
And they came back to me and said, Yep, we can still buy food right now.
So that's what they're doing.
That's going to change within 90 days.
Mark my words.
Within 90 days, I guarantee you, my staff is going to come back to me.
They're going to say, hey, the farmers don't have the food anymore, or they're not selling it like they used to, or, you know, the lots are already taken, or the price has gone up 80%.
Yeah, that's what we're going to hear in 90 days.
Over and over again.
So that's coming.
