Mike Adams and Larry Johnson analyze President Trump's alleged delusion regarding an ongoing war with Iran, citing false victory claims despite a $200 billion funding gap and the damaged USS Gerald R. Ford. They argue the administration plans a catastrophic assault on Karg Island to seize oil infrastructure, ignoring CIA warnings that could trigger Strait of Hormuz closures, global famine, and a shift to Chinese yuan trade. Ultimately, Adams warns of an engineered "great culling" driven by a satanic agenda, urging listeners to prepare for nuclear scenarios through off-grid living, cash transactions, and survival supplies like potassium iodide.

Welcome to Bright Videos News for Wednesday, March 25th, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams.
And today we have an interview with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson coming up.
A very important interview.
Incredibly important analysis of what's going on.
Trump continues to plunge into delusion land.
He thinks that America is winning so much that he announced again today that we've won the war.
We've completely won the war.
It's over.
But he still needs $200 billion to fund the war.
And we're still going to send in thousands of Marines for some reason, even though we've already won.
And then he alone claimed that Iran agreed to never develop nuclear weapons, even though Iran said, we are not even talking to Trump.
We are not even negotiating.
No such conversation has ever even taken place.
And yet, Trump is bragging about this to his base of remaining Magatards, who then repeat it faithfully all over social media.
Look, Trump got Iran to concede.
They're surrendering their nuclear program.
This is a victory.
No, it's not.
It's a delusion.
It's a fairy tale from Trump's mouth.
It's like if Trump was playing poker and then he announced to everybody without showing cards, I have a royal flush.
I've won.
I've won.
And then everybody cheers.
Oh my God, he has a royal flush.
He's actually won.
He's won the whole pot.
But then he doesn't have a royal flush.
He's got squat.
He's got, you know, like a pair of fours or something.
That's the reality of the situation right now.
Trump is just weaving these false, delusional narratives for his remaining low IQ supporters, because you have to be low IQ to still be supporting Trump at this point.
But intelligent, informed people are increasingly realizing that Trump is just making all this shit up.
Every day, he's just making it all up.
And as proof of that, the United States Army just raised the max enlistment age from 34 years old to 42.
So they can't even recruit enough people all the way to age 34.
So now they're saying, well, we'll take you if you're 42.
Yeah, because we've won, apparently.
So that's why they had to raise the enlistment age.
Yeah, they're not recruiting people.
Recruitment numbers are way down.
Why?
Nobody wants to die for Israel.
That's why.
In fact, I bet you that all the sailors on the USS Ford were wishing they had never joined the Navy, sleeping in sewage in a burned up warship with no bunk, you know, sleeping on the floors, maybe on tables, trapped like a prisoner in a giant floating prison hole for 10 months or whatever it is.
And also, by the way, this just came out.
Apparently, the USS Gerald R. Ford has suffered far more extensive damage than they originally thought.
And it's not going to be simply a 14-month repair time.
But rather, what we're learning now is that the USS Ford may never be battleworthy again.
That this fire, if you want to call it that, I mean, come on.
Iran struck it, okay?
Iran struck it with something, a drone, a missile, something.
But they called it a laundry room fire.
Well, it was so bad that it exposed some critical faults across the entire ship.
We don't know what those are yet, but this is what's being reported.
And apparently, the ship will never participate in battle again.
So that's, what, $13, $14, $15 billion that is a complete waste.
That doesn't do anything.
It's just a giant floating prison for sailors who wish they could leave the Navy.
Meanwhile, Iran has actually issued its updated set of demands, which completely contradict what Trump has announced, obviously, because Trump is living in a delusional fairy tale land.
So Iran's demands are, number one, hand over Netanyahu to the ICC because he is a war criminal and he's been indicted.
Number two, withdraw.
This is for Israel.
They should withdraw to the October 7 borders.
In other words, get out of Gaza and Lebanon.
Trump's plan for the real estate development of Gaza has to be canceled.
All sanctions against Iran have to be lifted and all frozen funds have to be returned.
The United States and Israel have to formally recognize Iran's nuclear rights, which includes the right to enrich uranium, obviously.
They have to withdraw from Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
They have to evacuate all U.S. bases from Arab lands, half of which have already been destroyed, by the way.
Trump must issue a public apology to Khamenei, whom was assassinated by Israel with Trump's approval.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
I don't think Trump's going to apologize for anything.
I think he's psychologically incapable of it.
And then, finally, Iran has to be compensated for every sanction imposed on the country over the last 47, 48 years, whatever it's been.
So we're talking about trillions of dollars of compensation that needs to be paid to Iran.
And then if the U.S. meets those terms, then Iran will agree to a ceasefire and will open up the Strait of Hormuz.
And I think that's a fair deal.
That sounds great to me.
I think Trump should apologize.
Netanyahu should be incarcerated for his war crimes.
The sanctions should be lifted against Iran, you know, etc.
It all makes perfect sense because if you think about it, what the U.S. has done to Iran is exactly what the U.S. has done to numerous countries all over the world since the end of World War II.
And that is to militarily defeat the country, let's say starting with Japan, and then to militarily occupy the country, and then to influence and control the political leaders of that country and make sure that that country buys U.S. treasuries and purchases oil in U.S. dollars.
And if that country refuses to do those things, then they get bombed.
The leaders get assassinated.
There's a color revolution, an uprising that's run by the CIA.
This is exactly what happened in Ukraine.
This is what they were trying to do in Iran, more recently, obviously.
But this is, you know, economic hitman playbook right here.
This has been happening all over the world.
And Japan is a good example of this.
Japan is a militarily occupied nation occupied by the U.S. since the signing of the surrender of Japan by, what was that?
Was that Emperor Yamamoto, 1945?
Did I get the name right?
Anyway, yeah, it was 1945.
Japan surrendered ever since they have been under the control of the United States.
South Korea under the control of the United States.
Taiwan under the control.
Right?
So what we're actually dealing with here is that Iran and Russia are breaking America's global terrorism model, which the U.S. has been running since the end of World War II.
The U.S. is the world's worst terror state that runs around the world with economic sanctions, with bombs, with assassinations, all these things, in order to pillage money from different countries or pillage their resources.
For example, did you know that all the oil that is harvested from Iraq right now, all the money from the oil that's sold, that money is always transferred to a bank account in New York.
And it has been that way since the end of the Gulf War.
So the Gulf War was about putting Iraq under the control of the United States, the Epstein Empire, and pillaging, pirating all of the natural resources of Iraq, leaving their own people impoverished and powerless while maintaining control over the political nation of Iraq through the presence of U.S. military forces.
That's why the U.S. has bases in Iraq and other countries in that region, all over the place, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, etc., Kuwait, you name it.
So America is trying to do the exact same thing to Iran and to Russia and ultimately to China.
But this is where it stops.
The world has said, no, no, we will stand up against you.
We will stop your terrorism, your raping and pillaging of the world, and we will halt your entire geopolitical business model.
And that is why Trump and the United States is going crazy, because no one has ever stood up to them before.
They've been able to just sweep across the entire planet and do anything they wanted at any time because they had aircraft carriers.
Now the aircraft carriers, their toilets don't even work.
And they catch on fire and they're unbattleworthy at the moment, it seems.
And they're fleeing.
So yeah, things have changed.
Things are changing dramatically from this day forward.
And that's why the U.S. Army now needs recruits up to age 42, because they need more American men to die for the empire.
So if you know anybody who wants to commit suicide for the Epstein Empire, all they got to do is go join the Army.
And they'll take them up to 42 years of age.
And you can even be a pot smoker.
You can even be a felon.
You can be convicted of drug use and they will take you.
Because, hey, you know, they're all doing drugs on the ships anyway.
You know, I mean, how else can you handle being ordered around by an insane president?
You know, you'd almost have to do drugs just to make it through the day.
Meanwhile, the emergency that Trump has launched for the world, that emergency is spreading everywhere.
I've got a report on that.
In South Korea, the lockdowns have begun.
Energy lockdowns, I should say.
So they have now mandated driving restrictions based on your license plate numbers.
Uh-huh.
So starting on Wednesday, all the government employees or public sector employees of South Korea will be banned from driving one day per week based on the last digit of your license plate.
So that one day a week will, of course, become two days a week and then three days a week, etc.
And then in the Philippines, a national emergency has been declared because of the fuel shortages there.
So Trump's war of aggression against Iran is causing emergencies to spread all over the world, including corporate emergencies, industrial emergencies, force majeure being declared over and over again by different industries.
So, yeah, the repercussions of this are damning and destructive.
Now, my interview today with Larry Johnson covers quite a lot of this in more detail, also from his perspective.
And remember, he's a former CIA analyst.
And by the way, you know, it's worth noting that Trump has actually lost the war.
The Damming Repercussions of Loss00:05:16
Clearly, Trump has lost the war.
Lost 20 planes, that's been confirmed, lost the Strait of Hormuz, lost all these high-end multi-billion dollar radar installations, lost the Fifth Fleet headquarters, lost like 15-plus U.S. military bases.
And the U.S. partners in the region, such as Qatar, have lost some big percentage of their energy infrastructure.
Trump has caused real estate in Dubai to crater.
He's managed to get U.S. data centers attacked and destroyed, affecting companies like Amazon, and much more.
And he's also caused countries to start using the Chinese yuan currency to pay the toll to Iran to allow their ships to sail through the Strait of Hormuz.
You can't pay the toll in dollars.
Dollars aren't accepted.
You have to pay in Yuan.
So the petrodollar is collapsing.
And U.S. dominance in the world is also collapsing.
But Trump has to announce every day, we're winning.
Actually, we've totally won.
They're totally destroyed.
It's already over.
And it's just who's dumb enough to believe Trump at this point?
Seriously, who is that dumb?
And then these propagandists like Jesse Waters on Fox News, he goes out and announces that 82nd Airborne is going to be dropped into the Karg Island, which is probably just deliberate disinformation.
It's the tip of the spear.
It's going to seize Iran's oil lifeline.
He says, checkmate, air supremacy locked.
We negotiate with bombs.
This is just the insanity.
Checkmate, final act from Jesse Waters, who's a complete idiot and a propagandist.
And Daniel Davis, whose opinion I trust, Daniel Davis, Deep Dive, that's his channel name on YouTube, by the way.
He responded to the Jesse Waters propaganda.
He said, this post is more stunning than even I can say.
The lack of basic military knowledge to suggest it's checkmate because a single island in the northern part of the Persian Gulf might be taken exposes a profound lack of knowledge about how national power is even derived.
And Daniel Davis continues, he says, but perhaps even more fundamental, even at the tactical level, this is a gross misunderstanding of the profound military difficulty of seizing that defended island with light fighters like Marines or 82nd Airborne Division.
It is incredibly difficult with rotary-winged aircraft, that means helicopters, to take the island because those aircraft move very slowly and are easy targets for a whole range of Iranian weapons.
We will likely suffer significant casualties making the effort, and there is no guarantee of success even with elite Marines and 82nd airborne soldiers.
And then, once you get on the ground, you'll have to keep, you have to fight to keep control of it.
And then the expected counterattack from Iran with a perpetual barrage against our forces who will be without heavy defenses.
So, and he asks, how will the force be reinforced and resupplied?
How will wounded soldiers get off the island?
How will they be resupplied with ammunition, weapons, food, fuel, and water?
And then, even if you succeed, how will this change the balance of power in the war?
But Jesse Waters, you know, idiot propagandist at Fox News, like, check me, check me, you know, just typical American propagandists right now, like, we're so tough, we can do anything.
America, if yeah, right?
I mean, these people are just complete idiots.
Trump is sending those Marines to die.
He's sending them to die.
So probably this weekend, thousands of U.S. Marines and 82nd airborne will be killed.
I mean, there's a strong likelihood of that.
I hope it doesn't happen, but it seems like that's where this is going.
And because of that, then Trump will claim we're winning even more.
We're so winning.
We won even better.
So anyway, look, get ready for a massacre of U.S. Marines this weekend because Trump's sending them to die while his Magatard supporters absolutely cheer it.
And then when they die, they'll cheer that too.
They'll say, well, they died for your freedom because freedom isn't free, which is just one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
It's just an idiotic slogan.
What do you mean, freedom isn't free?
Freedom should be free.
You're born with freedom.
The only people taking it away from you are governments.
I mean, you're born with freedom.
The only reason you're not free is because they took it from you.
The ones that demand you die for them.
So, I mean, that makes more sense.
Freedom Should Be Free00:15:10
In any case, we're going to proceed with my special reports here.
I've got a few of them.
And then today's interview with Larry Johnson follows that.
You don't want to miss that.
It's a full interview about an hour in duration.
So all that's coming up.
All right.
Well, enjoy the rest of the broadcast.
Well, the global shortages of energy and materials that's been unleashed by Trump's war of aggression against Iran, an unprovoked war of aggression, a war of choice, it's starting to really cause national emergencies all around the world.
For example, in the Philippines, the president there has just declared a national emergency because of the fuel shortages.
Now, fuel is extremely expensive now in the Philippines.
A lot of people there have very long commute times, as in hours each direction.
That's not uncommon around Manila and major cities like that.
The wages in the Philippines are much lower than they are in the United States or Canada or Europe for that matter.
And now the Philippine people are having to spend an extraordinary percentage of their income just on fuel.
And so national emergency has been declared.
It's going to be combined with rationing and prohibition of traveling on certain days.
That's clearly what's coming next.
Now then, not too far away in Australia, we also have a national emergency brewing.
And in New South Wales, they are declaring emergencies right now because the diesel fuel has run out in hundreds of gas stations, as we call them in America.
Those stations have been completely depleted of diesel fuel because the farmers there and the transport truckers, they are purchasing as much diesel as they can at almost any cost in anticipation of where this is going to go next, which is nationwide energy lockdowns.
In fact, in New South Wales, that's already being openly talked about, that they need lockdowns because they're running out of energy.
So, you know how Australia was sort of ground zero for COVID tyranny?
Well, now it's going to be the energy lockdown tyranny.
And hey, they already built the concentration camps.
So, you know, they've got all that squared away in Australia and New Zealand, come to think of it.
So, Australia, don't forget, is a large continent.
It's a continent.
And long distances have to be traversed for delivery of food and fuel and other things.
So, Australia, in particular, is vulnerable to fuel shortages because it's a transportation-dependent country more than most.
And also, by the way, the jet fuel is running out in Australia.
And they normally buy a lot of jet fuel from China and other places, but a lot of it comes out of China.
And China has, of course, completely restricted all exports of refined fuels, including jet fuel, kerosene, gasoline, and diesel.
And so in Thailand, you know, half of their fishing fleet has been paused because they don't have diesel fuel.
In Taiwan, they're about to run out of natural gas to power their power grid.
They probably have, it's estimated, maybe 10 days of fuel left if they don't receive any more natural gas.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Japan is suffering shortages.
Japan also is a high-tech economy and technology requires helium, you know, for the lithography, for the mass-spec lab instruments, and for other processes.
So Japan is suffering also from a lack of natural gas because, of course, Japan is not a fan of nuclear power since Fukushima in 2011.
So Japan's suffering.
Across Western Europe, they're about to run out of energy.
And Trump is threatening them with restricting LNG exports out of the United States to Canada unless Europe signs on to some kind of mutual military effort against Iran.
And there are dozens of other countries that are impacted by this, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, etc., African nations.
Dozens of nations are going to be facing famine, fuel shortages, energy lockdowns, and frankly, economic collapse, all because of Trump.
So Trump has not only crushed the global prices of gold and silver, he's also set conditions that are going to lead to global mass famine and energy shortages and civil unrest, revolts, the toppling of governments, etc.
I don't think this was his plan.
But then again, you know, he has the mind of a fifth grader.
He doesn't think about repercussions of anything.
That's why he writes like a fifth grader.
If you ever see his tweets that he writes himself, he doesn't even know how to spell common words like the word which, as in, which way are we going?
He spells it W-I-T-C-H like a wicked witch of the West.
That's Trump.
He spells like a fifth grader.
I mean, his 25th Amendment time, folks, this guy has got to get removed.
He's completely out of control.
He's destroying the world's industrial economies.
He's destroying the world's prosperity, which is based on energy, energy abundance, you know, affordable, regular flows of energy.
It's all being cut off by Trump.
And instead of just walking away and saying, oh, we made a mistake.
Maybe we shouldn't try to destroy Iran and steal all their energy.
Instead of doing that, he's doubling down and he's about to launch an attack on Iran using United States Marines and the 82nd Airborne.
Apparently, it looks like it could happen this weekend, Saturday or Sunday, USA time.
He's going to land thousands of Marines there and they're going to be slaughtered or captured, most of them, and it's going to be a massacre.
Blood for Israel.
Trump is committed to spilling American blood for Israel and destroying the economies of the world in order to appease his Zionist masters who apparently have some kind of horrendous blackmail on him via the Epstein files.
It must be pretty crazy because Trump is doing everything that they demand of him with no resistance whatsoever.
So Trump is just a puppet of the Zionists.
And the Zionists are Satanists.
And, you know, they're driven by satanic principles of genocide and mass death, mass suffering.
And it looks like Israel wants to destroy the entire world, to bring down everything, because they think that's going to accelerate their end times apocalypse where they think their Messiah is going to reappear and save them from everything.
Yeah, well, there was a Messiah that showed up, guys.
His name was Yahweh or, you know, Yeshua, Jesus.
And, you know, the Jews demanded that he be killed.
And he was killed.
So, yeah, they already had a Messiah and they had him killed.
So ever since then, you know, they've been just run by Satanism and evil.
And that's why they support genocide and suffering and bombing children and bombing hospitals and bombing civilians.
That's why they've committed genocide against the Palestinian people.
That's why they ran pager, exploding pager attacks against civilians in Lebanon.
That's why they assassinate engineers and scientists in Iran.
That's why they bomb civilian buildings in Lebanon.
And they're going to occupy and steal southern Lebanon now.
All the way to the river, I think it's called the Latani River.
They're going to take all that land now.
And Israel is pushing its Greater Israel expansion project, which is purely satanic.
And Trump is helping them do that.
So that's what's actually happening.
So the whole world is paying the price for Israel's satanic agenda and the Epstein file blackmail that they have on Trump, which is why this whole war is called Operation Epstein Fury.
That's what it is.
But we're all going to suffer because of whatever Trump did that's been caught on video that's been used as blackmail against him.
We're all going to suffer.
The whole world is going to suffer the price.
So hunker down.
Get your food supplies squared away.
Get your energy, your backup energy system ready to go.
And make sure you're ready for the end of the world as we know it.
And it's going to get bad in Australia first, probably.
And then it will spread.
And it'll spread to America.
It's going to get bad.
So catch more of my podcasts and videos at brightvideos.com.
And I'm praying for humanity right now.
I'm praying for all of humanity because this is going to be a very dark era, thanks to Trump.
The minion of Satan at this point, unfortunately.
So Dow Chemical just announced that they are doubling their prices on polyethylene materials, which are used by other manufacturers to make things like plastic bottles, plastic drums, bottle lids.
This is going to impact the nutritional supplements industry and the food industry, you know, all kinds of packaging and the beverage industry like crazy.
You're going to see price increases that are just skyrocketing.
And this is because of Trump's war, because Trump decided to initiate a war of aggression against Iran, a country that even the DNI says poses no threat to America.
But Trump is doing the bidding of Netanyahu and the Zionist Epstein empire.
And so Trump decided to go ahead and attack Iran.
Again, a war of aggression.
And as a result, you're going to pay double the price for nutritional supplements and superfoods and foods in the grocery store and vitamins, minerals, you name it.
Everything's going to double within the next year.
And that's because Trump doesn't care about you and what you have to pay and your cost of living and your grocery prices and your food scarcity.
Trump only cares about himself and his insiders who are doing all kinds of insider trading.
And as prices on your food double or triple in the coming months or year or two, you're going to find out.
You're going to find out just how expensive it is to live in a world where your president is printing money like mad, which is devaluing your currency, and also at the same time is destroying the abundant energy infrastructure that made food more affordable or that made fuel more affordable or that made transportation more affordable or technology more affordable or the power grid more affordable.
You're going to find out as everything, all those things I just mentioned, will double in price and maybe far beyond that.
And some of them will double in price before the end of this year.
See, what you're seeing right now is nothing compared to what's coming.
The price increases that are coming will devastate American families.
Remember, 60% of American households are living paycheck to paycheck.
They don't have one spare paycheck to get them by.
They don't have any spare money at all because it's all been stolen from them.
It's been stolen by crooks like Trump.
Totally corrupt, total con artist, stealing from everybody, you know, whipping the market up and down with insider trading, paying himself billions of dollars for running the so-called board of peace using government money.
I mean, the level of corruption is worse than under Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.
The level of corruption under Trump is off the charts insane.
And you're going to pay the price.
You're going to pay the price in increased inflation and scarcity of all the things that you need in order to live.
So that's the reality of where we are.
And I'm not saying that it would have been better under Kamala, by the way.
I think it would have been worse.
I think that under Kamala, we would have still had the war on Iran, plus we would have had the total attack on the Second Amendment and the First Amendment and so much more.
And we would have had insane wokeism on top of all of that.
Where under Trump, yeah, we have the war on Iran, but Trump's not going after the Second Amendment.
You know, thank goodness that's one thing that he's not destroying.
But the cost of you buying ammo and firearms is going to skyrocket because of energy scarcity and energy prices and reduced abundance of the metals that go into bullets, like copper, for example, or nickel or what have you.
So your cost of living is about to go up, and that means desperation for a lot of Americans.
You're going to see people resorting to crime.
You're going to see people becoming homeless who you would never have suspected would be homeless.
More people are going to have to live out of their cars or vans.
You're going to see tent cities cropping up or shanty towns all across America because of what Trump has done.
Poverty levels will skyrocket.
Crime levels will skyrocket.
And we're now living in a country that has no moral foundation whatsoever, no moral basis for the rule of law, a totally corrupt, broken judicial system, totally corrupt, broken election system and an executive system, a broken and corrupt and incompetent military under the Pentagon, etc.
Prepare for Government Hostility00:14:14
Education system has collapsed.
You're living in the last days of the collapse of the American Empire.
And the collapse is going to be slow and drawn out.
And when it's all said and done, the dollar will collapse.
The empire will collapse.
Trump will go down to history as the worst president ever.
Probably the last president ever.
We'll see.
Maybe not, but we'll see where it goes.
And we're looking at something probably closer to like, what was it, 1789 French Revolution, where we're going to have probably a left-wing socialist uprising and a takeover of the country following the intense corruption and criminality and poverty initiated by the Trump administration.
The backlash, the reaction will be absolutely tremendous.
So all that is very likely to occur in the coming years, not next week, not this month, not even this year.
I'm talking about over the next several years.
The bottom line is, however this plays out, you need to be prepared.
You need to have backup supplies, as I'm always advocating.
Backup food supplies, obviously, you can get those from our store, HealthRangerStore.com, laboratory-tested, certified organic, rugged long-term packaging, freeze-dried, many freeze-dried options.
And then you're going to need backup communications.
Satellite phone store, S-A-T-123.com is where you can get sat phones and solar generators so that when the power grid fails, you've still got a source of local energy that you can recharge from the sun.
You're going to need these kinds of things in order to make it through what's coming, I believe.
So this is absolutely critical.
Grow your own food.
Get garden seeds.
We have them at our store.
Grow your own herbs for medicine.
You're going to need medicine because the pharmaceutical industrial complex is also going to collapse.
It's already practically collapsed in terms of effectiveness anyway.
Things are going to change dramatically.
And the Epstein Empire will not survive much longer and its currency will not survive.
That's the dollar.
So the dollar is headed for the trash heap of history, and you should get out of the dollar while you still can.
So you can check out more of my podcasts and interviews at brightvideos.com.
And you can follow my articles at naturalnews.com.
And I'm praying for humanity right now, praying for you listening as well.
Do everything you can to get ready.
Times are going to get tough.
Take care.
You know, prepping for as long as we've all been preppers, let's say, it used to be based on the assumption that the governments of the world wouldn't be actively trying to murder everybody.
That you always assumed, you know, the government wanted things to work.
No matter where you lived, your government wanted the power grid to function.
Your government wanted people to be healthy.
Your government wanted, you know, people to have families.
And that's just flatly no longer true.
Today we have governments that are actively working on total destruction of the energy infrastructure that powers our world, including our government, the United States government, and they are actively working toward depopulation.
So now prepping has to shift.
We have to take into account that literally your government is trying to create a scenario that would lead to your death.
It doesn't mean they're actively trying to murder you directly, but they want to create conditions that are non-survivable for you and others.
In other words, they want to indirectly kill you.
They want to kill you off.
This is the great culling that is taking place.
And so what does that mean in terms of your preparedness plans?
Well, it means you have to now give way more importance to decentralization away from systems that are controlled by governments.
Because as governments tighten down the screws, which they're now doing with energy lockdowns, they will find more and more ways to restrict your access to the things that keep you alive, whether that be food, electricity, transportation, energy, supply chains, consumer goods, air conditioning, even medicine for that matter, right?
And this is what we're already beginning to see during this war in the Middle East.
We're seeing countries or regions of countries like New South Wales and Australia saying, well, we're going to start having energy lockdowns now, COVID-style energy lockdowns.
And we're seeing energy lockdowns in places like the Philippines and Thailand.
And it's going to spread.
It's going to get worse.
So this plan has already begun.
And if you add into that financial collapse, which is clearly being engineered, it's controlled demolition of the financial system in order to drive everybody into a CBDC control grid where they can control what you're allowed to buy, how much food, how much fertilizer, you know, garden seeds, etc.
They will control it, the governments will, in order to limit your access to the things that could keep you alive.
And as a result of this, there are only going to be two classes of people when this is all said and done.
Class number one, which is the doomed class, it's going to be people who are entirely dependent on the system.
They will have no choice but to accept the government CBDC food stamp, bailout, mark of the beast payment system, digital surveillance system, because otherwise they would starve to death.
You don't want to be in that group.
That's the doom group.
Group number two are going to be the renegades, the people who decentralize, who get off of the system.
People like you and I, who are mostly partially off the system right now, and we are capable of getting fully off the system with some effort and probably some expense.
And that's where we have to focus our efforts now in the coming weeks and months and years is how do we complete the dissociation from the central control grid that's controlled by the government.
And that's difficult.
And for a lot of years, many people have said, well, you have to have one foot in that system and then one foot outside that system.
But the foot that you have inside the system is going to get chopped off.
You're going to end up with a leg peg stump instead of a foot.
Because whatever you have in the system, you can kiss it goodbye.
The system is going to turn against you.
System is going to crater.
They'll do a false flag cyber attack on the banking system and then steal all your money and say that Iran launched it or something or it's Russia's fault or whatever.
I mean, there's an endless number of scenarios that they can pull off here, false flags or self-inflicted dirty bombs, whatever, in order to achieve the total taking of your assets and blame it on somebody else.
So again, whatever you have in the system, kiss it goodbye.
And whatever you depend on from the system will not be reliable.
So for example, the power grid.
This is the most difficult thing for people to realize that the power grid will not be reliable on purpose.
Because if you think about it, more and more people are buying EVs now because of the problems with diesel and gasoline and fossil fuels.
Well, how do they control your transportation capabilities when you're using an EV?
They limit your access to the power grid.
Very simple.
They can limit you to a certain number of kilowatt hours per day, for example.
They can say every household gets only, you know, 50 kilowatt hours a day.
That's it.
And, you know, for some households, that's enough, but not if you're charging an EV every day.
That's not enough.
Not even close.
So this is how they're going to clamp down on everybody.
Plus the smart meters, plus the surveillance, plus the internet of things, the wearable surveillance, everything on your body that's checking in with the cloud, cross-reference with your social media profile, with your identity, with your banking records, with your medical history, blah, blah, blah.
And people are even being encouraged to upload all your medical records to AI systems, like Elon Musk is telling you to do this.
Like upload your taxes to Grok and let Grok figure out your taxes.
Are you kidding me?
Why would you upload all your financial records to Elon Musk and Grok?
Why would you upload your medical records?
That's insane.
But a lot of people will do that.
And it's all designed to hoover up all your information and then to weaponize it against you.
And it's with this information that the coming systems will decide who to target using autonomous weapon systems where AI chooses the targets of who to exterminate.
See?
I mean, of course, at first, they'll do the big things like turn off the power grid in a region for six months and just see how many people die or, you know, turn off the water facilities or the water pumps or whatever and see how many people die.
But for the survivors, they can target you based on all the information that you've handed over through your mobile phone, through your medical records, through everything that you've signed up for, and even your car.
You know, are you using your Google car, the Google features in your car?
I mean, that's insane.
I would never do that.
But people buy a new car and then the screen comes up and it says, yeah, Google, Google Auto or whatever it is.
Sign in.
And then you can start using maps.
So people sign in.
From that moment forward, that car reports your location to Google.
Every time you drive, everywhere you go.
And of course, even when you're not driving, that's a data point.
So they're tracking your whole history, your habits, where you work, where you eat, where you shop for groceries.
All of that information is going to be weaponized and used against you to target you if the AI decides that you're no longer worth keeping alive.
That's what's coming.
And these AI autonomous weapons systems will be tied to basically a volume knob that the humans can turn up the volume knob and say, well, we need to get rid of another 50 million people.
So turn that up.
And then the AI says, oh, well, now let's go after this other group, these people.
And it just targets everybody based on their location, which, of course, Google has that.
Apple has that.
The services, you know, all the online cloud services, they know who you are, where you are.
They know what you've done, what you've searched for, your medical history, your financial history, your bank accounts.
They've got all that information, and it's all going to be weaponized against you in order to target you and exterminate you if they think that you need to go.
So, so prepping now needs to take on a very different tenor.
Prepping used to be, well, let's, you know, let's stockpile some food.
Let's have a water filter.
Let's have some iodine.
Let's, you know, get some firearms and ammunition and grow some food and have a garden and, you know, get as far away from the city as we can.
And all of that's important, but it's not enough now by itself, because now you're being scheduled for termination, ultimately, by your own government, which will weaponize all the metadata they've collected on you that you have accidentally given them or inadvertently given them over all these years of using mobile phones or Google phones or what have you.
Every phone call, every text, every website you visited, every search that you ever made, every credit card purchase, every wire transfer, everything you've ever done, every time you paid for groceries using a credit card, they have it all.
That's why I only shop for groceries with cash.
And I've done that for 15 years.
I only shop with cash.
If I were buying gas at a gas station, which I don't do, but if I were, I would only buy with cash.
I do not use credit cards to purchase anything locally because they could track you.
They can use that against you.
And of course they will.
Of course they will.
Because anybody who's got an argument that says, oh, well, government would never do something that evil.
Listen to yourself.
Seriously?
Is that an argument?
These governments are already involved in genocide.
You think they wouldn't kill their own people?
Of course they would.
They wouldn't even hesitate.
That's not even a debate.
That's just, you know, people who are ignorant of reality.
So, yes, of course they would kill you to achieve their goals.
There's no question about it.
So you have to be off grid as much as possible, including off their surveillance system as much as possible.
So how do you do that?
Well, it's a thousand little habits, some of which I've already mentioned, like don't buy groceries on a credit card or with any kind of digital form of payment because then they know who you are.
See, when I buy groceries, I pay with cash.
They don't know who I am.
Protect Your Privacy Now00:06:22
Nobody knows what I bought or how much I bought or how frequently I shop or where I shop.
So, I mean, that's just habit number one out of a thousand habits that have to become part of your lifestyle.
You've got to get as off-grid as possible.
I run a de-googled phone.
So my phone doesn't check in with Google.
And, you know, we partnered with abovephone.com that offers de-googled phones, and that's an absolute necessity.
And you can use discount code Ranger, by the way, to save, I think, 10% with them.
You can find all the links, by the way, at rangerdeals.com for a lot of this.
You need a de-googled phone.
You need off-grid money, which is gold and silver, and maybe private crypto.
Watch all my episodes of decentralized TV.
And the website for that is decentralize.tv.
You need to have your own medicine.
You need to have your own system of growing food as much as you can.
You need to have your own backup communications, such as a satellite phone that doesn't talk to the cell tower, so they can't track your exact location.
It's one of the main benefits of using a satellite phone is they don't know exactly where you are.
They can't just track you.
So, you know, work with our sponsor, the satellite phone store, s-at123.com.
It's a privacy measure.
And also, by the way, they sell the Faraday bags.
They've got a site for it, darkbags.com.
If you go to darkbags.com, you can find, you know, all kinds of Faraday bags, different formats, purses, pouches, backpacks, I mean, laptop bags, everything you can think of, even jackets and purses and whatever.
You can find all that there.
So privacy has become the most important priority for prepping.
You have to protect your privacy first and then have all the other things that you've known about for a long time, storable foods, etc.
But if you don't protect your privacy, they can hunt you down and they will.
They will build a profile based on your metadata and they will decide whether you live or die.
And if they decide you die, then they can dispatch, you know, Terminator drones or whatever they're going to use, whatever hardware they're going to use in the near future, to actually come get you and kill you.
And absolutely, they will do that.
So remember, our governments now are the terrorists.
They are running the kill commands against humanity.
They don't want the populations to exist that currently exist on our planet.
They want to get rid of maybe 90% of the human population.
And so they're devising ways to do that, such as starting a war, destroying energy infrastructure, causing global famine, causing a lockup of fertilizer so that farmers can't produce crop yields.
I mean, we're moving into a scenario right now where anywhere from two to four billion human beings could die from starvation in the coming years because of the lack of fertilizer and energy if this war continues to escalate.
If we stopped now, then yeah, we wouldn't lose a billion people, wouldn't even lose millions of people because we could recover now.
But I don't see that it's stopping, it seems to be only escalating.
And if it escalates to the point of the total destruction of the energy infrastructure in Qatar, in particular, then the world starves to death and billions die.
So you don't want to be dependent on the system when that happens.
You want to be as off-grid as possible.
So, by the way, yeah, you can store food, you can buy garden seeds from us if you want.
HealthRangerStore.com.
And yeah, we appreciate your support, but it's not enough.
You need to get off-grid in every way possible.
You need to, frankly, have your own power system.
And that's the hardest part of this.
I mean, you can do your own rainwater collection with just, you know, rooftop collection, etc.
That's doable for most people, depending on where you live.
But to get off-grid in terms of electricity for your whole house or your whole ranch, that's difficult.
That's expensive.
It's complicated.
That's an area that I'm working on right now.
And I will have some product reviews to share with you, but it may be too late.
You know, I can't guarantee the timing on all that because I'm not going to talk about a solution until I'm happy with it.
And I can't guarantee I'm going to be happy with anything.
But if I find something that works, I'll share it with you.
And at that time, you know, maybe there will still be some inventory.
I just don't know.
We are in a very difficult situation.
All of us.
Prepping is not for the faint of heart.
Now you have to prep at a whole new level compared to what you used to have to do.
But think about those who aren't prepped at all.
There's so many people who are not preppers who don't have anything off-grid.
They don't have any backup food or medicine or currency or anything.
They're really screwed.
They're not going to do well.
Now, that's not you or me, but man, that's a lot of people.
And it's going to be rough for them.
No question about that.

Israel's Desperate Neutral Turn00:12:59
So thank you for listening.
Get prepared.
Upgrade your mindset on all of this.
These are very dangerous times, dangerous for humanity.
The depopulation agenda is accelerating.
Global famine is being engineered right now.
And not everybody's going to make it.
So that's the takeaway.
But thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Take care.
What's fascinating is the Zionists have run an information operation against the West to convince us that Muslims hate Christians.
However, if you look at the Muslim theology and you ask a Muslim imam, who is Jesus?
They respect Jesus as a prophet.
They respect him as a prophet of God.
Right.
And Mary, the mother of Jesus, she is venerated as a holy woman.
You ask the religious Jews, who is Jesus?
He's a nobody.
He's a nothing.
And Mary, she's a whore.
That's what they say.
You know, and yet the Christian Zionists side with that crowd?
I don't get it.
Welcome to today's interview here on BrightVideos.com.
I'm Mike Adams, and we are joined by a returning guest, although we haven't spoken with him for a while.
It's Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, and he worked with the counterterrorism group there at the CIA.
And boy, has he been busy.
He's been doing a lot of interviews and giving a lot of analysis of world events right now.
He joins us today, and his main website is sonar21.com.
We'll bring you back to that in a little bit.
But welcome, Larry Johnson.
It's an honor, sir, to have you on the show today.
Thank you for the invite.
Happy to be here.
Yeah, thank you for being here.
And again, I don't know how you do it because I see you on everybody's show.
Are you doing like 10 interviews a day or what are you doing?
It's between five and seven a day.
It's been pretty busy.
This is so much better, though.
You know, back 20 years ago when I was a TV talking head, the problem was always they'd send a limo.
So I lived in Bethesda, Maryland.
The limo would show up, and whether you're going to CNN or Fox News or ABC, you always had to go to downtown D.C.
So that was usually a good 45-minute trip, even though I'm only like eight miles away.
But the traffic was such that you got delayed.
And then you'd go in, you'd sit in the green room, they'd put makeup on you, then you'd go sit in front of a camera and talk for five minutes, and then you'd go out, take off the makeup, and just repeat the process in reverse.
You'd spend two hours to do just one interview.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you're getting better.
Yeah, absolutely.
All right.
So I saw a video from Netanyahu, allegedly, who said that no matter what Trump does and no matter what negotiations or agreements might happen, Israel is going to keep bombing Iran nonetheless.
Doesn't that say to all of us that Trump is not in charge at all of what's happening?
Yes, to an extent.
Now, it'll be up to Trump at that point, if Israel tries to do that, to pull the plug on Israel, cut off Israel's financial aid and military aid.
Without us, they can't continue doing that.
So, you know, it's one thing for Netanyahu to talk tough.
But there are some media reports circulating today so that JD Vance got into a shouting match with Netanyahu yesterday over the fact that those Zionist thugs, the settlers, are killing Palestinians.
Christians, Palestinian Christians are being murdered by these thugs.
Well, I mean, yeah, they murder equally.
I mean, they murder everybody who's in the way of their greater Israel project.
Yeah.
And then now they're claiming victim status.
Have you seen all the videos now coming out of all the missile damage in Tel Aviv, and all of a sudden they're complaining about civilians being hurt?
Yeah.
Yeah, when they've got a body count of over 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Exactly.
What's fascinating is when you look at the Zionists have run an information operation against the West to convince us that Muslims hate Christians.
However, if you look at the Muslim theology and you ask a Muslim imam, who is Jesus, they respect Jesus as a prophet.
Now, they don't accept the Christian view that he is the Messiah, but they respect him as a prophet of God.
Right.
And Mary, the mother of Jesus, she is venerated as a holy woman.
You ask the religious Jews, who is Jesus?
He's a nobody.
He's a nothing.
And Mary, she's a whore.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
So, you know, and yet the Christian Zionists side with that crowd?
I don't get it.
No, it makes no rational sense at all.
But I guess that leads to the bigger question is, is Netanyahu and the Zionist regime, let's just call it the Epstein regime, are they trying to destroy the world in order to fulfill their biblical prophecy, you know, Armageddon accelerationism or something?
Is that what's going on?
Well, yeah, there is definitely within that extreme Zionist group those who believe that.
Now, the real definition of Zionism, because this applies to Bibi Netanyahu, who says, there is no God, but God gave us this land.
And you're going, what?
Either you believe in the scriptural foundation of it that you claim to believe in, which provides your entire justification for what you're doing.
And if you don't believe in that, then how can you profess that that's your reason for being?
It's completely illogical, doesn't make sense.
But it's important for all of us to recognize the fanaticism that is at play here, because under that fanaticism, it seems that they could easily justify to themselves the use of nuclear weapons, doesn't it?
Yes.
Oh, no, no, absolutely.
Or blowing up the Al-Aska mosque.
You know, there are those within the, you know, the, I don't want to call them the ultra-Orthodox because we've got to distinguish.
There are Orthodox Jews who believe that the creation of the state of Israel is a sin, that it can't come into being until the Messiah returns.
So they don't really support this current version of Zionism.
And that's why you'll see in New York City many times Hasidic Jews, you know, the ones with the curls and the long, long coats and the beards, they'll be out protesting in favor of the Palestinians.
So, you know, we've got to avoid sort of the simplistic labeling of Jew, not Jew.
You know, it is sort of a specific variant, this Zionist, whether or not they're religious or not, doesn't matter, but they use Zionism as a justification for their actions.
Yeah, a really important point.
Zionism is not equivalent to Judaism, and also opposing the tenets of Zionism is not anti-Semitic at all.
Correct.
In the least.
But you mentioned the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and it seems like that would be one of the next steps of escalation in order to provoke a very strong reaction from the Muslim world.
Do you think that Israel or certain elements within Israel may be planning a false flag destruction of that?
Oh, no, no, absolutely.
Yeah, I think very much so.
You've seen it over the last five days, they have closed, the Israeli authorities have closed access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque for all Muslims at the end of Ramadan, and they closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to Christians.
So to my knowledge, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is, you know, the claim is it's built on the site where Jesus was crucified and buried, that that's never been closed until now.
The person that holds the key is the chief Muslim imam of Jerusalem.
So the Muslims have always kept the key to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in part because there are so many Christian sects that fight with each other over who has the right to lead there.
They turn to an outsider or someone who's basically neutral.
Wow.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, yeah, a lot of people suspect that they've closed it because they need to sort of twin towers the mosque.
Yeah, it could be.
Yeah, this is Israel's in a tough situation right now.
They talk a good game.
Trump is all over the map.
And it looks like before we came on air, he claimed that he's now gotten a message from Iran that they will not build a nuclear weapon.
Well, that's been their position for the last 46 years.
So duh, they've agreed to what they'd already agreed to.
So if that's true, if that report is true, then this is, I take that as a sign that Trump's trying to figure a quick exit out of this war because the U.S. is losing.
Do you think Trump is actually communicating with any official in Iran that has?
No.
Okay.
No.
So is he giving bad intel or what's happening?
Yeah, he's just lying.
You think he's just fabricating this himself?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That seems feasible.
Look, even when we were, quote, negotiating with the Iranians, we never had direct conversations.
Witkoff would go to, Jared Kushner would go to Geneva.
They'd sit in one room.
The Omani, the guy from Oman, the chief mediator, would come in, talk to them.
Then he'd go to the other room and talk to the Iranians.
Then he'd come back and talk to Witkoff.
So there wasn't direct communication.
So the notion that now there's direct communication, no, what's been happening is the United States in desperation because Trump either ignored the intelligence or there was an intelligence failure.
I think it's the former, not the latter.
They refuse to take into account what the implications of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is.
And it is devastating for the U.S. economy and the global, most of the global economy.
Ironically, Iran's doing pretty well out of this deal.
True.
Before the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran was selling its oil at $47 per barrel.
They produced 1.1 million barrels a day.
Now, they are producing 1.5 million barrels a day, so almost a half a million more barrels per day, or 500,000 more barrels per day.
And they're selling it at $97 a barrel, double the price.
So they are making now more money.
And then on top of it, they're charging an exit fee for those vessels that want to get out of the Strait of Hormuz that will pay for their cargo in terms of Chinese yuan.
And in the course of this, the payment system that used to go through the United Arab Emirates and could be controlled via the United States and the petrodollar, now it's going through China through the Yuan.
And Iran is actually sort of out of the sanctions woodshed now.
Yeah, so effectively, the Strait of Hormuz is open selectively to vessels that have destinations approved by Iran and that are willing to, as I understand it, pay a toll, essentially.
I guess it's $2 million, which is really only a tiny fraction of the value of the cargo they're hauling, by the way.
Right, right.
And it's paid in Yuan, too.
So it's really forcing a shift from the petro dollar to, if you will, now the petroyuan.
Yeah.
So Trump's the president that is collapsing Western control over the Persian Gulf, America's presence in the Persian Gulf in its military bases, as well as the viability of the petrodollar itself.
Massive Military Movement Begins00:07:18
It's like, but he announces that he's got 100% approval and he's winning.
This doesn't look like winning.
He supposedly got 100% approval of MAGA, whatever that is.
Right, whoever's left.
I'm ashamed to say, I voted for Trump, and I now I regret my vote, which doesn't mean I would have voted for Kamala Harris.
I would have voted for, probably would have voted for my dog.
But, you know, Trump has betrayed the American voter.
Clearly.
He promised no new wars.
And now he's got us embroiled in a war that we cannot win.
You don't win wars through air power.
So the pattern that Trump has been using with Iran is that he will announce progress that we're close, we're negotiating, they've agreed to almost all our terms, and then he will surprise, bomb them, assassinate them, attack them, usually in conjunction with Israel.
Right.
It seems to me that's exactly what's happening this week.
No, yeah, no, you're exactly right.
Because this is planned out in advance.
This is not something that's just developed over the last couple of days.
On March 12th, the United States started a massive movement via C-17 transports.
These are the largest, you know, they're up there with the C-5A.
It's a large transport that we're carrying.
It can carry up to 200 and I would say 204 combat-loaded soldiers or sailors or Marines.
It can carry tanks.
It can carry armored personnel carriers.
It can carry artillery pieces.
It can carry helicopters.
So there have been a total of 35 flights as of yesterday, with 11 more scheduled for this week.
And they're taking off from bases, locations that are associated with the Special Operations Forces, with Delta Force, SIAL Team 6, the Night Stalkers, Task Force 160, the helicopters, 75th Rangers out of Joint Base Lewis-McCord in Washington.
There's also a Ranger battalion down in Georgia at the Hunter Army Airfield.
So all of these forces are moving to one of them's in Israel, two of them are in Jordan.
So they've got three locations to pre-position.
At some time this week, I think they will move forward, try to move forward anyway, to Al-Udid Air Force Base.
That would be probably the prime location, but they may choose some other site.
And from there, the intent, weather permitting, will be to launch, I think, a combined assault on Karg Island and Keshem Island in the south in a bid to both take control of Iran's oil in the middle in the Persian Gulf and control of that island.
Now, if they do that, despite all this happy talk about, oh, we're making progress with Iran, Iran is just, you know, they're going to go, I won't say nuclear, but they're going to escalate their attack to a point that our forces that are on Karg and Keshim, if that's the way we go, they'll be in jeopardy.
We don't, these forces, you know, they've only really got two ways of moving.
They're going to move through the air on a helicopter, or some could move on a fixed-wing aircraft and parachute.
But that's not the normal route that, you know, while Delta and SIL Team 6 are equipped to do that, that's not the optimal insertion.
And even if they survive that insertion, then they have to be resupplied.
Yeah, resupplied and how do they get out?
How do they get out?
And they're going to be taking, I would think, just endless drone attacks and artillery because they're within range of Iran's artillery at that point.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And so this would be a terrible, terrible decision.
You know, I'm sure it's been put forward to Trump as an option, but it sure looks like he's going to do it.
Is it possible, I mean, since you worked in the CIA, you know how information flows to the president, and sometimes it's blocked, well, often.
But is Trump getting truly bad information?
For example, I've heard Trump's people claim that U.S. forces are able to shoot down like 94% of incoming Iranian ballistic missiles and things, whereas Ted Postel says it's more like 5%.
Yeah, Ked's right.
Ked's right.
They're wrong.
They're lying.
They don't have the numbers.
Look, as of end of December 2025, the maximum number of PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot that they could have had in theory, 4,620.
That means, because you have to use two of those missiles for every inbound ballistic missile, if you've got that 4,620, that means you can shoot down potentially 2,310 missiles.
Well, Iran's already fired that, and we know that at least 1,000 of those PAC-3s were sent to Ukraine starting in 2023.
And since 2023, Russia's fired more than 12,000 missiles.
So there's just no way that the Patriot missile system is still intact.
If it's not depleted already, it soon will be.
Same applies to that.
Israel really confirmed all of that today because it seems like they lifted the censorship and suddenly they're playing victim and they're saying, oh, look, Iran hit civilian buildings and we never attack civilians.
We only attack military targets.
And the rest of us are like, what?
What?
Till there are 175 dead schoolgirls.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Plus the exploding pagers, the assassination of Iranian scientists, the murders and slaughters in the West Bank, the bombing of even Christian churches in Gaza, on and on and on.
Yeah, I actually had not seen the news reports that the Israelis were out now lifting the veil.
So that tells you how desperate the situation is.
Yeah, it was flooding my feed this morning on X all of a sudden.
You could tell somebody flipped a switch and all of a sudden there's all these photos of the damage in Tel Aviv and it is considerable, which proves your point, Larry, that the Iron Dome interceptors simply are not working.
Right.
Yeah, no, well, the systems have been, number one, they have limited capability.
Iron Dome would be good against some of the subsonic rockets that Hezbollah was firing before, say, Hamas.
Fertilizer Bans Halt Planting00:07:19
Right.
But they're completely useless against the ballistic missiles, particularly the hypersonic ones.
I want to remind our audience of your website, sonar21.com.
And it's Sons of what again?
Sons of the New American Revolution.
That's it.
That's where sonar comes from.
Okay.
21st century.
So I base that upon I'm a member of the Sons of the American Revolution because I have 28 ancestors that fought in that war.
So, you know, I come genetically predisposed to fight for liberty, to fight for freedom.
And, you know, that's what my ancestors sacrificed for.
They didn't fight and die for this nonsense that we've got going on right now with Donald Trump.
Isn't that the truth?
Let's talk about the implications on our republic.
This destruction of energy infrastructure with all its downstream effects of blocking exports of helium and sulfur and sulfuric acid, not just natural gas.
We're seeing New South Wales and Australia now declaring some kind of emergency and saying that they're going to have to have energy lockdowns.
The Philippines just declared a national emergency based on fuel shortages today.
They don't have enough diesel.
Thailand has halted about half its shipping fleet.
Taiwan is about to run out of gas that powers its grid.
And Japan is in dire straits financially and industrially if this continues.
I mean, the whole world's going to pay the price for Trump's arrogance, it seems.
Yeah, no, so the damage that's already inflicted is significant, it's substantial, and it's going to, it is going to last at least for the midterm, you know, a couple of years.
What the shutdown of the liquid natural gas, because Qatar was a major supplier of that, that's now about 25% of the world supply gone, shut off, no longer available.
The oil coming out of the Persian Gulf, about 21% of world consumption supply.
And the ones who got the bulk of that were India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, and Australia.
Gone.
There's no way to turn it back on quickly.
And connected to that were the, let's call it the petrochemical side of the house, particularly with respect to the urea that is manufactured out of the natural gas to produce fertilizer.
What, 35% of the world fertilizer supply comes out of the Persian Gulf.
Well, we are now in the planting season in the northern hemisphere.
And I'd say, you know, close to 65% of the world landmass of arable land is north of that hemisphere.
So if no fertilizer, no planting, no crops.
So this means that there's, you know, eight to 10 months from now, there's going to be a food crisis.
Engineered famine.
Engineered famine.
An engineered famine.
Exactly right.
Let me add to that, too, that I think Russia has halted or banned all exports of fertilizer.
China has halted all exports of both fertilizer and refined fuel products, including jet fuel, gasoline, diesel.
Australia, which is a massive landmass, of course, not that Americans typically know that for some reason, but it's a continent.
Australia depends on long-distance trucking and airlines, heavy transportation.
That country is going to suffer first, it seems.
Yeah, so already you're seeing an economic contraction, which is that's negative economic growth.
So I would argue, and once the statistics are collected and they'll be able to apply the specific definition, if you've got two successive quarters of negative economic growth, then that's a recession.
And if it's greater than 10%, that's a depression.
So we're well into the recession territory among a number of countries.
As I pointed out, Iran's actually doing okay out of this.
Russia is doing great.
Russia is making upwards of $5 billion a month of additional income now Because of its oil, it's liquid natural gas, and it's fertilizer.
But they're also, as they pointed out, we're going to take care of our farmers first, make sure they have enough fertilizer before we go out and try to sell it to the rest of the world.
See, that's what really concerns me because a lot of the smaller nations, let's say Thailand or Indonesia, for example, or Central and South American nations, they depend heavily on inputs from these other larger nations.
Brazil in particular.
Now, Brazil is they got a bit of a respite, and they've got some time to figure this out because they're now starting to enter the winter season, so they're harvesting what was planted already.
And so they're not going to be going back into an immediate planting season.
Right.
And there's still, there's some amount of food in the supply chain right now, but I just saw Dow Chemical announced a doubling of its polyethylene prices.
So, of course, we know that that also is related to this entire scenario.
But that means bottles, plastic bottles for food, beverages, vitamins, supplements, drums, the drums that are used to ship everything, all of this polyethylene plastic is going to double in price, and that's just the beginning.
So the supply chain is going to get way more expensive with increased scarcity globally.
Well, and already in the United States, diesel is up at least two bucks a gallon.
That's right.
So the transportation cost for food, that's gone up for every item you go in to buy at, say, Home Depot or Lowe's or BJ or whatever your hardware store is.
So yeah, no, this is a particular type of inflation that can't be managed by strictly monetary policy.
Normally with what you call monetary inflation, where you got too many dollars chasing a fixed number of goods, yeah, that's going to create inflation.
But now, when you've got this amount of money out there, you've actually shrunk the supply, and there's no way to re-inflate that supply anytime soon.
You got a problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Famine, again.
In your view, does Trump have any viable off-ramps that he would psychologically be willing to consider, given that he's an egotistical child?
I mean, that's my opinion anyway.
Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Iran Chances Death to America00:07:58
Again, if the announcement that I heard earlier was true, that he was taking saying, okay, Iran has agreed not to build a nuclear weapon.
We got an agreement.
Well, it's like you had that agreement in the first place, but let's just go with that.
So he could say, we got an agreement.
They're not going to build a nuke.
The United States has really already lifted sanctions on Iran.
So Iran's no longer facing those sanctions.
Doesn't that just affect oil, though, right now?
Well, that was the principal sanctions on Iran.
Okay.
So, you know, so they're sanctioned free of that.
So the next step is if Donald Trump then says, you know, because we've got this peaceful arrangement, we no longer need to have our massive military presence in the Gulf.
We can pull them out so they can come back and do something productive for America.
That's his offer.
If he does that, that's his off-ramp.
I think Israel would agree will stop provided Israel stops.
But if Israel doesn't stop and if the United States doesn't take actions to stop Israel, Iran's just going to continue hammering them.
Well, and hasn't Iran said that they're going to continue this war until Israel is destroyed?
And hasn't Israel said basically the same thing about Iran?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, this has been, you know, Iran has been unfairly and unjustly demonized over the years by the West, particularly in the United States.
We don't take responsibility for anything that we've done.
You know, example, you'll hear people say, well, you know, Iran chanced death to America.
What have we done to them?
Where do we begin?
Right.
Yeah.
So let's start September 1980.
Yeah, Iran's students are holding American diplomats hostage, CIA personnel hostage.
And the United States, with a wink and a nudge and a pat on the back, gets Saddam Hussein to attack Iraq, Iran.
So the Iran-Iraq war starts in September of 1980.
Hit Ronald Reagan, and Reagan gets the hostages back.
It was the parallel that you talked about earlier.
And then Don Rumsfeld goes and starts meeting with Saddam Hussein.
And guess what?
We start selling Saddam Hussein precursor chemicals that are used to make chemical weapons.
And in August of 1983, Iraq launches its first chemical weapons attack on Iran and continues, launches 20 more weapon of mass destruction attacks on Iran, chemical weapons, the last one stopping in August of 1988.
Well, during that entire time, Iran never built or used a chemical weapon against Iraq.
Never.
But because of that war, over 300,000 Iranians died.
Well, you look how upset we get over the 4,000, less than 4,000 Americans who died on 9-11.
And we get upset at the Muslims over that.
Well, it's understandable why Iran chanced death to America.
And in fact, during the last two years of that war, prior to that, the CIA was hand-carrying intelligence to Iraq to use against Iran.
And then that job was transferred to a former defense attaché to Saudi Arabia and to Yemen, a colonel named Pat Lang.
Pat was a mentor of mine and a friend.
He died a couple of years ago.
So, you know, here's the United States who basically helped provoke that war, funded that war, helped it go on, and killed 300,000 Iranians.
So when Iran chanced death to America, I understand.
Plus the decades of economic sanctions and also don't forget Scott Bessent admitting that there was financial terrorism committed by the United States against Iran to destroy their currency.
I mean, he openly admitted it.
That's an act of war or terrorism.
Yep.
Or the U.S. continued support for the Mujahideen El-Khaq, MEK.
They were designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997.
That designation was lifted by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama in 2012.
Why?
Because the CIA was using the MEK to launch terror attacks inside Iran.
So, you know, the United States is a state sponsor of terrorism.
Absolutely.
There's no question about that.
But let me ask you this.
Let's shift slightly.
If Trump says we have an agreement with Iran, even if he fabricates it, and thus we can, you know, remove our military from the area.
That doesn't resolve the Strait of Hormuz, that, of course, Iran maintains control over the strait and can selectively allow certain ships to pass through and not others.
But also, I think more importantly from the U.S. State Department point of view, the U.S. presence in that area is now gone.
I mean, the Fifth Fleet headquarters, the bases in Kuwait, Iraq, look, practically evacuated the military bases in Iraq at this point.
And the future of the U.S. in that region seems to be gone at this point.
What's your take on that?
Yeah, no, the face of the Middle East is now being remade.
Let's be clear.
Iran is the only country in the Gulf around the Persian Gulf, with the exception of Iraq, that has a government that's been elected by the people.
The government of President Pazeshkin, while the Ayatollah is not elected by the people, in accordance with it, is an Islamic republic.
Nonetheless, there still is an element of democracy there.
And one of the real ironies, I learned this the other day from a new friend, Yaakov Rapkin, a professor.
Yaakov has written extensively on Zionism.
He's a Canadian now, resides in Canada, but he was born in Leningrad right after World War II, which is now called St. Petersburg.
And he recounted his experience of going to Tehran and visiting the Jewish quarter.
And this group of Jews, Iranian Jews, they've been there for, they count their ancestors back for almost 3,000 years.
Whoa.
Think about that.
2,600 years.
Whenever the Babylonian captivity took place and the Jews were carried off from Israel back to Babylon, that's where they set down their first roots.
And in talking to them, they noted that their children are required by Iranian law to have a religious education at school.
I don't know if it's like once a day or once a week, but they're not, the religious education that their children get is Judaism.
Because they identify as Jews, they are allowed to be taught Jewish religious tradition.
Same for Christians.
So the Muslims get taught Islam, Christians get taught Christianity, and the Jews get taught Judaism.
Carrier Maintenance Issues Exposed00:14:28
Huh.
How about that?
It doesn't fit with our narrative.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And you know, I watched you for years commenting on the Ukraine-Russia war as well.
And, of course, most of that took place under Biden.
And we watched as the Biden administration just flat out lied to America constantly about the success of the West and the effectiveness of Western weapons.
Oh, we're going to send the tanks and it's going to change everything.
We're going to use the HIMARS.
It's going to change everything.
And now that exact same tactic is being used by the Trump administration.
It's just like Biden 2.0 or Obama 2.0 almost at this point.
Why has Trump resorted to the same outrageous and obvious lies that Biden used, claiming that none of our planes are shot down.
They all have maintenance issues.
The USS Ford, out of commission now for 14 months.
Oh, it's a laundry room fire.
Okay.
Well, that's a bad laundry room fire.
Yeah.
Yeah, this.
Andrei Martianov put out a.
He commented on a video the other day with respect to the Ford uh, comparing it to the Uss Forestal uh, Vietnam Era carrier that uh, John Mccain, through a negligent discharge of a missile, almost you know, blew the ship up, caught on fire.
It took the crew 19 hours to put the fire out and it actually killed uh, I want to say like 19 sailors and injured 100 more.
After that, they had to get McCain off the ship because he probably would have been killed by some of the sailors who blamed him for what happened.
But the point was that it took them 19 hours to build a combat accident, get that under control.
So what the hell happened in a laundry room?
It took them 30 hours, 30 hours to contain the fire?
You know, there's more to this story than we're being told.
Clearly.
It's like the shootdown the other day of the F-35.
That what happened was the heat-seeking missile got close enough to the plane and the plane had off, shot off a, you know, let's call it a flare or a magnesium piece that burns to try to distract or divert the missile.
And the missile exploded and the shrapnel from the missile hit the F-35, damaged its wing and its tail.
And so that's what happened there.
It wasn't a direct hit, but it was close enough that it damaged it beyond repair.
But if the USS Ford, which is, I believe, the most expensive ship ever built, something like $13 billion.
It's like $15 billion.
Hey, that's a couple of billion dollars among friends, right?
Well, they're going to probably have to add another couple billion for the repairs now.
Yeah.
You know, and it's out of commission for 14 months.
It just, doesn't it just prove, and plus the F-35 incident and all of the F-16s that have been lost?
And remember the couple of the F-18s in the Red Sea that they said rolled off the edge of the Abraham Lincoln at that time?
Yeah, one rolled off, one was hit by friendly fire, one, you know, it's not clear what happened.
Right.
But if this is the case and none of this is occurring from enemy fire, then it's just proving that our modern military is utterly incompetent.
Well, I'm not sure incompetent is the correct word.
I mean, there is definitely some of that, but we have a military that's not designed for the 21st century.
It is, we've relied on very expensive technology instead of inexpensive technology.
So we're now at the stage where each of the PAC-3 missiles that's on a Patriot missile battery, when you fire, you've got an inbound drone, a geranium drone.
You know, it's one that looks like the giant triangle.
You fire those two Patriot missiles.
Each one costs, I've heard different estimates, $4 million, $6 million.
Let's go up to $6 million.
So you're firing $12 million worth of missiles at a drone that costs $50,000.
Well, you know, you can't afford to keep doing that.
You just, you know, run out of money.
Again, the aircraft carrier, $16, $15 billion for an aircraft carrier took, what, six years to build?
And then it can be quickly disabled by somebody throwing a shirt in the toilet or somebody lighting the dryer on fire or getting hit with a hypersonic missile.
These are weapon systems that no longer make sense because the technology that has taken place with respect to drones and missiles, particularly hypersonic missiles.
The aircraft carrier has really outlived its time.
Its arrival in the 1930s, just as aviation was starting to get its legs underneath it, it became the primary vehicle that you could deliver airplanes far away because the airplanes had a limited flight range, but now you could take them to the spot they could fly off.
Well, that no longer works like with Iran, because if you bring like an F-35B jet that's on an aircraft carrier, it's got like a 600-mile combat radius.
Now, that means it can fly 600 miles and it has to be refueled.
Or, you know, it can fly 300 miles out and then 300 miles back without refueling.
So if you get close to the Iran's southern coast, then all of a sudden that ship, as happened to the Abraham Lincoln, can get shot at with a shorter ship missile that can destroy the carrier.
Or if a hypersonic missile.
So they have to get far enough away, and the farther away you get, the less effective is that air capability that you're carrying.
Right, right.
So what you're describing is an obsolete approach to the projection of power from the Navy.
Now, so my next, my follow-up question to you on this, Larry, is that if Trump walks away from this Middle East situation without controlling the Strait of Hormuz, which seems almost impossible to achieve at this point, but if he announces victory, sails away, pulls our military forces out of the area, even if he can fool the American people to say we won, doesn't the rest of the world look at this and say, wow, America is no longer the biggest bully on the playground.
They can't make good on their threats.
Yeah, no, exactly right.
One other thing, you know, one other dynamic that will enter into this is Iran could agree, say, okay, listen, we'll lift the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
They'll tell this to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, tell it to all of them.
But you guys got to get rid of the American bases.
If you continue to keep American bases in your country, then we're going to not let your ships pass through the strait.
That simple.
And I think that they could probably win that argument.
Well, wouldn't they also win the argument that ships need to pay a toll as a means of reparations against Iran, and that once the reparations are paid off, then the toll goes away?
I mean.
Yeah, they're going to demand that.
I'm not sure they're going to find a solution there.
Particularly if they can get a commitment that there will be no more attacks.
And in fact, one way to provide that security is to get a military pledge from Iran and Russia that in the event that you are attacked, we will view it as an attack on us.
So that I think would give Iran enough assurance that, okay, we're good.
Because they'd know that then the other countries, Israel, United States, if you're going to hit Iran, you're going to be hitting Russia and China.
Are you ready for a nuclear exchange?
So like an Eastern Article V. Yeah.
Yeah, but I'm not sure Russia would want to go that far.
No, I think they would.
I think they would.
Do you think so?
Yeah.
Because what they want is to get that north-south economic corridor open.
And they don't want Iran anymore to be threatened.
And so I think Russia would be willing to do that.
So then let's, can you walk us forward then?
Suppose this does get resolved in the manner that you just mentioned.
There's a mutual defense pact between Iran and Russia.
There's relative peace.
The strait is reopened.
Energy starts to flow again within a few weeks.
What does the world look like for America's future and America's leverage in the world from that point forward?
Oh, dramatically weakened.
You know, at that point, the United States' dominance in the Persian Gulf is going to go away.
Now, look, let's recognize these Gulf Arab states, let's call them family-run crime.
It's a form of organized crime with families.
The royal family in Saudi Arabia, et cetera.
They all like to be shake this, shake that.
But they don't have any foundation of popular support.
And I think if you realize that something like 90%, particularly in United Arab Emirates, of the population are foreigners, not Emiratis.
And they are going to be compelled.
They've got to do something or they're going to die, economically die.
And I don't mean some far-off date in the future.
Literally with no ships coming in bearing food, they're going to run out of food.
They don't have their own agricultural systems in these countries to sustain growth.
Right, or water.
Or water if the desalination gets hit.
So they've been pretty careful now of late about what they're doing to Iran.
And Iran is now, over the last couple of days, shifted its attacks more and more towards Israel.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, isn't that because they've already destroyed most of the military bases in the region?
Well, true.
Yeah, they've been hit and severely damaged.
I'm not sure to what extent there are people, American still troops standing there or not.
We'll see.
Okay, and your best guess, Larry, for how much longer can Iran keep up this continued launching of these missiles?
Oh, at least six months.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, is anything left standing in Israel?
I mean, in six months, because the Haifa oil refinery, I understand, was hit hard, maybe destroyed.
Yeah, I think at this point, Iran's going to focus on taking out the port and taking out the military airfields.
They're going to stay away from civilian areas, and they're going to stay away from hospitals and schools.
Okay, but infrastructure would be considered, like power plants would be considered.
They've stayed away from the power plant, too, because they say, look, we're not going to deprive people of power unless you deprive us of power.
You deprive us of power, then you're going to suffer the same fate.
Okay.
Let's talk about Qatar Energy for a moment because they have 14 natural gas trains there.
Two of them have been destroyed with a three to five year repair time, according to their own official announcement.
That leaves 12 trains, which, of course, to our audience, those aren't really trains.
Those are processing facilities.
So there's 12 left.
If those 12 get destroyed, then the world collapses as we know it, and there's a 10 to 15-year repair time.
Larry, do you think that these 12 trains are going to survive whatever happens next?
Yeah, for now.
Again, it depends on is there going to be an attack against Iran's resources?
So Iran's doing very much sort of a tit for tat, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
So you hit our natural gas, we'll hit your natural gas.
You hit our oil, we'll hit your oil.
You hit our nuclear power, nuclear plant, we'll hit your nuclear plant.
You know, but Israel has promised to continue bombing Iran.
Couldn't Iran's retaliations include Qatar's natural gas fields?
I mean, it's a three-party scenario where the one party, Israel, is just completely out of control, doing whatever they want.
Yeah, potentially.
It depends on what Israel bombs.
Yeah.
But so, you know, that's why I say there can be some transfer, if you will, of violence to Qatar based upon what Israel does.
Right, that's a good term for it, transfer of violence.
Market Manipulation via Violence00:07:23
Tell our audience about your website, sonar21.com.
Sonar21.com, it's a blog I try to write daily, post articles.
People can comment.
I don't have a rigid policy of you have to meet my ideological test.
You can disagree with me all you want.
Just I don't accept insults and that hominym attacks.
That'll get you tossed.
And I try to let people have a polite discussion, but oftentimes, you know, people get all heated and emotions take over.
And I want to remind our audience that you have a support us button on your website right here, different ways to support you.
Because one of the questions I've had over the years is, you know, how do you fund what you do?
I mean, it's not lucrative telling the truth these days.
Right, right.
You know, in the past, I've suffered financially.
Now, this, you know, this helps defray costs.
But I made a decision not to do advertising and not to require people to donate in order to read.
Now, I am going to be making an adjustment to my website so that in the future, the same thing applies.
I have a Substack, son of the New American Revolution on Substack.
And there, if you want to comment, yeah, you have to become a financial contributor.
Not much.
You know, it'd be like, to say, $12 a year.
So $12 a year, you can comment at will, but everybody can read.
Well, that makes sense.
And that also helps filter out the trolls and bots.
Yeah.
Which is a good mechanism.
Yeah.
Yep.
All right.
As we're getting close to the end of our hour here, and again, I want to thank you for taking the time with us.
What have we not covered that you think our audience needs to be aware of?
Let's go more in detail on the attack that's going to take place this weekend.
Okay.
At this point, the U.S. military forces that have moved into position and are still moving indicate that there is going to be a massive, likely coordinated attack.
I think it'll be on two targets, the Karg Island and Kesham Island.
Those are the only ones that make sense, simply because, you know, it's not just to inflict damage on Iran.
And some have said that, oh, they're going to put troops down at Chabahar, a port down on the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea.
Well, why?
Because you're down there.
That's not going to do a thing to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
And that's just going to make you another target for missiles and drones.
Yeah, but isn't Karg also very far from the Strait?
Yeah, it's up in the northwest corner of the Persian Gulf, or excuse me, the northeast corner of the Persian Gulf, just off the shore of Iran, well within reach of artillery shells.
Right.
So if they take Karg, it's just holding the oil infrastructure hostage, but not really opening the strait, right?
Correct.
That would be the Keshim Island, which is down in the Strait.
But all of this sort of assumes that Iran's not going to be able to respond with missiles and drones and inflict damage on our occupying forces.
And I think that's exactly wrong.
And it assumes that we're going to be able to put ships in there that the Iranians won't be able to hit.
I think that's wrong.
But, you know, if Trump goes forward with this, then we'll be looking at, I think, the equivalent of Gallipoli, Gallipoli for the United States, a virtual massacre of our forces.
But to land troops on Karg, wouldn't that require the troop transport ships to sail through the strait?
No, not if they're brought in by helicopter.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, if they're inserted via helicopter or, you know, the SEALs supposedly could always swim there, but they'd be pretty tired.
So, no, I think they've got an insertion plan with helicopters.
Again, it's assuming that the air defense has been suppressed and that they're not going to shoot down the helicopters.
But again, I think that may be a dangerous assumption.
So what lie are we going to be told when thousands of U.S. Marines and Special Forces are killed?
Are we going to be told they all died in traffic accidents or something?
Yeah, they'll come out and say, oh, you know, that Iran once again rejected our offers of peace and rejected the, insisted that they want to build a nuke, and therefore we had no alternative but to launch this attack.
And again, when that attack is launched, and that's why they'll do it Friday night after the markets are closed, it's going to light up the oil markets a big time.
And so Trump has been able to talk it down, at least the early part of this week, by claiming, oh, yeah, things are looking up.
But I think he's doing that to deliberately manipulate the market.
Yeah, I've said Trump has a kind of a Jekyll and Hyde approach to his personalities.
There's weekday Trump, where everything's great, negotiations are working, the markets are calm, and then there's weekend Trump, where it's like bomb and kill and destroy everything.
And then he hopes that they can recover before the markets open on Monday again.
Right, right.
It's the same pattern.
He's become very predictable now.
Yeah, absolutely.
So that's why when he announced yesterday five days, I said, huh, why five days?
Oh, day five is when the 31st Mew is supposed to arrive in the Arabian Sea, be off the coast of Iran.
Now the question is, how close is that ship going to get?
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, one more question for you, Larry.
As a former CIA analyst yourself, what do you think the CIA is telling the President right now?
If we're to believe the press reports, they warned him that it was not wise to carry out this military strike, that the Iranian regime would remain intact, and that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed and would cause economic damage.
And you think that their conclusion is reasoned and rational on those points and that but the but the president's people are just choosing to reject that information?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
That's that's simple.
Well, I don't think you become a CIA analyst by being a low IQ person, right?
I mean, you have to know what you're doing.
Yeah, you're supposed to.
I like to do puzzles and you can figure out how to do addition and subtraction.
It shouldn't be that complicated.
Okay.
All right.
Well said.
Well, Larry, thank you so much for your time today.
It's always an honor speaking with you.
We appreciate you and all that you're doing.
Hey, Mike, a pleasure.
Look forward to doing it again with you.
All right.
We'll do it again soon.
Thank you so much.
