Mike Adams critiques weaponized food aid causing Multiple Chemical Sensitivities via mineral deficiencies, while exposing the Stratos Hyperscale Data Center's alleged ecological destruction in Utah. He warns of an impending 2027 global famine driven by energy shortages and fertilizer scarcity, alongside AI replacing entry-level jobs and enabling autonomous killing machines. Ultimately, Adams advocates for mechanical self-reliance, gold reserves, and decentralization to survive a geopolitical collapse fueled by corporate greed and authoritarian control.

Food Aid as a Depopulation Weapon00:15:00
Okay, so you may be wondering why the global famine that's incoming coincides with the global rollout of the Honta virus hoax.
Of course, it's a total hoax.
It's all theater.
Even the videos from the cruise ship and everything, all scripted, all planned.
They hired crisis actors who were also used in COVID, etc.
Okay, so the entire thing is fake.
I'm not going to go into all those details.
You can look that up online.
What I'm here to tell you is why they're doing these two things together.
In order to do that, let me bring up this new infographic that I put together.
It's called Food Reserves Across Our World.
I just put this together today.
And what I did is I had my AI research agents look at the government-run food reserves all over the world.
Well, specifically the top 25 countries in terms of their populations.
And if you look at the food reserves, as you can see from this map, the food icons represent roughly about 5 million metric tons of government held grain reserves.
So you see the wheat icon there in Russia?
Each wheat icon is about 5 million metric tons.
You know, give or take, this isn't perfect, and it was AI rendered in terms of the graphics, and sometimes AI makes mistakes on the graphics.
But the underlying research is solid, and this is based on data from 2025 as well as part of 2026 here.
But If you look at the whole world map, what do you notice?
You notice that the United States has no food reserves.
That is nothing run by the government.
Brazil, same story.
Mexico, a little bit, you know, not that much, different grains.
But most of Central and South America and also Canada have no food reserves.
It doesn't mean that they don't have food.
I mean, one of the reasons that there are no food reserves is because these countries produce a lot of food.
And so they figure, well, we don't need reserves because we always have the next growing season.
We can make the food, you know?
And there's some logic to that.
But then look at Africa.
You would think that some of these African nations would have more food stores, like Ethiopia or DR Congo, for that matter, or even Egypt would have more than what is currently shown on this map here.
And I know the word Egypt is not on the right exact spot on Africa, but that's because there's a wheat sign in the way of the word Egypt.
Anyway, you get the idea.
So, if you look at what are the top three countries in the world that have the most grain reserves, it's Russia, China, and India.
Nobody else is even close.
Russia, China, and India.
Russia, heavy on wheat, right?
Lots and lots of wheat.
Also, some soy and some corn.
China, heavy on corn and rice.
Corn and rice.
Japan has stored a little bit of rice.
Also, Indonesia has got some rice, you know, Bangladesh, a little bit in the Philippines.
Here and there, what have you.
India, a lot of rice and some wheat on top of that.
And by the way, you know, there are other grains.
There's sorghum and different lentils and different beans and so on that countries obviously store.
But I wanted to keep this simplified.
So this is the overall simplified picture.
And it shows you that compared to Western countries, it's the Eastern countries that have the most stored food by far.
Now, since you're probably a regular listener of my podcast, you know that it's difficult to store food in certain formats and it's easier in other formats.
So, for example, if you store whole wheat berries, that is unrefined, unprocessed wheat, then those wheat berries can store for a very long time.
They can store easily over 10 years in the right conditions, even over 20 years in certain conditions.
That's because it's got its own protective, you know, shell or hole and corn can be stored in the right conditions when it's dried and rice can be stored for a long time when it's dried etc.
But you probably also know that if you grind up the wheat berries and you make wheat flour then there's a very big difference between the shelf life of whole wheat flour which goes bad very quickly versus processed bleached white flour which lasts much longer.
It can last a couple of years.
Although the longest storage time is in the unprocessed form.
But here's what we also know about how the world responds to famine.
When there are countries like Bangladesh or Ethiopia or Yemen that suffer from extreme famine, and even India is going to be in this situation, parts of Egypt, etc., the rest of the world tends to respond by shipping processed food.
Why?
Because processed food doesn't go bad and doesn't.
Or it doesn't go back quickly and doesn't require the receiving country to be able to process the grains.
So, in other words, if you're shipping wheat to a country where people are starving, you can't always depend on them having the ability to grind and process the wheat into a processed flour.
So, very often you process the wheat yourself first into a bleached, processed white flour, and then you ship the white flour to these countries to be consumed immediately.
and made into bread, etc.
Now, rice is a little bit different, but brown rice does have a shorter shelf life compared to white rice.
So the less nutritious a product is, the longer it stores on the shelf, and the more easily it can be used as a food aid substance to aid these impoverished countries.
And that tells you something really important.
It tells you that part of the side effect of global famine is that the nutritional density of the foods that people will consume in these marginalized countries, the nutrition will go down because they will be shifting from more local, indigenous, cultural foods or ethnic foods to the processed rescue foods.
Oh, here's your rescue white flour or your white rice or your processed corn or corn products.
Here's your maltodextrin and your corn syrup, et cetera.
This is what you're going to live on now.
And when that happens to a country, then Immediately, the people of that country begin to, number one, lose immune function.
They begin to suffer Western diseases such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, even Alzheimer's, obesity, you know, et cetera, and cancers on top of that.
So by thrusting the world into mass starvation and then coming to the rescue of those starving populations with processed, nutrient-depleted foods.
What the globalists will be able to do is they'll be able to compromise the health and the immune systems of these people all over the world that they want to get rid of, whether it's people in Bangladesh or the Philippines or India or Egypt or Yemen or you name it.
You name it.
And then when they are immune compromised and zinc deficient in particular because of zinc's role in immune function, that's when they'll hit everybody with the Hanta virus toxins.
Now, It's probably not going to be a legit virus.
It's probably going to be chemical weapons that are dispersed either through the food supply or the water supply or into the atmosphere that then prey upon those who are already made vulnerable with engineered poor nutrition.
In other words, if you're the globalist and you want to kill off billions of human beings, it's more effective to do it in a two step process.
First, you deplete the nutrients of the foods they're eating.
And make sure that they are zinc deficient and copper deficient, sulfur deficient, selenium, magnesium deficient, that they're lacking B vitamins, which are also ground out of the wheat grains, etc.
You make sure they're nutritionally deficient first, and then when you hit them with a fake pandemic, but with the aerosol spraying of real chemical weapons or the injection of chemical weapons into food and water supplies, then those people die more easily.
So that way, You achieve your depopulation goals while pretending to be helping them with food aid.
You see?
See how that works?
The food aid becomes a weapon to malnourish the target populations and make them extremely vulnerable to the phase two weapon, the binary weapon, which is typically the chemical weapon or could be aerosolized, you know, fungal spores or whatever it is.
Because, you know, hey, the DOD has come up with.
You know, a million different bioweapons.
Some of them are just ticks, you know, agricultural bioweapons as well.
But whatever it is, those populations are far more vulnerable.
Whereas in the Western world, where people are typically wealthier and they have more access to nutrition, if people choose, they can supplement with zinc and sulfur and selenium and copper, or they can eat broccoli sprouts or whatever.
And they can actually.
You know, have enough nutrition to defend their bodies against whatever is being released globally, whether it's spike proteins or fungal spores or freaking chemtrails or whatever it is.
You see what I mean?
So, this is a kind of depopulation weapon that also targets those on the lower income strata people who can't afford to have access to nutritional supplements or superfoods or organic foods grown in nutrient rich soils.
So, or another way to say this is this is extermination.
Through NGOs.
The NGOs show up and say, We'll give you all the food aid you need.
We're going to help all the starving people.
Yeah.
And then the food trucks get delivered, and out of those food trucks comes exactly the kind of food that will make those people nutritionally deficient and make them highly vulnerable to be killed by phase two of the weapon system.
That's what's happening.
It's clear.
Absolutely clear.
And of course, many of the victims will be Africans.
Some will be in the Middle East.
Some will be in Southeast Asia.
Those three areas will be the primary areas where these weapons have the deepest impact or the highest fatalities among the people.
At the same time, in the Western world, which includes Australia, the US, Canada, etc., in the Western world, anybody who's been living a nutritionally deficient lifestyle, living on junk foods, taking lots of medications that strip minerals out of your body, eating just a lot of processed junk food, and Not paying attention to good nutrition, many of those people will be vulnerable as well, and they could easily find themselves swept up in the depopulation extermination machine.
And that underscores the importance of having good nutrition, obviously.
Have good nutrition.
And part of that is growing your own food, because you may know that a lot of the fresh fruits and vegetables that you buy at the grocery store are, of course, picked before they fully ripen.
And because they're picked before they ripen, they often don't have the full opportunity to develop their nutritional profile.
For example, in tomatoes, you might not have nearly as much lycopene as you would in freshly grown tomatoes or in peaches that you get at the grocery store.
You know, they're picked when they're rock hard.
It's like, these aren't peaches, these are baseballs.
But if you have a peach on your own peach tree, that has far better nutrition in it.
And also, of course, you have the opportunity to feed your peach trees.
you know, mineral rich compost or, you know, goat poop or whatever you happen to have that you work into the soil there and that feeds the trees.
Where from the grocery store, you're getting what I have long called shadow food.
And shadow food lacks the nutritional density of real food that kept our ancestors alive for so long and has kept us alive until this moment where there is an engineered global depopulation agenda.
The number one takeaway from this that I want you to remember is that food aid to third world countries is very often a food weapon of depopulation.
And I've also seen this in the United States because, you know, my company, healthrangerstore.com, we've donated well over a million dollars of food to Americans.
Most recently, there were fires in California and then there were storms in Florida.
And also in Alabama and the Tennessee area, et cetera.
And we donated truckloads.
You know, we showed the photos and everything about this truckloads of food to those areas of the country that were hit by storms or fires or what have you.
And the number one thing I heard from people there when they received one of our food buckets was that they were very grateful to have something that was real food and not just packaged, processed junk food.
Because, you see, Walmart rolled in with.
I don't know how many trucks, maybe a couple of dozen trucks in the Alabama area.
And nothing against Walmart.
It's very gracious of them to make the donations.
But the kind of food that Walmart sends for donations is, of course, heavily processed packaged food because that's what has the shelf life.
Real Food vs Processed Junk00:11:56
So it's going to be canned soups, mostly heavily processed, garbage ingredients, sodium nitrite, et cetera.
It's going to be, you know, Loaves of bread or crackers that are made from bleached white flour, all the nutrients are stripped out.
Some companies would send cases of Gatorade and just garbage drinks.
I mean, come on.
It's like salt and sugar water with food coloring in it.
Give me a break.
This is not what starving people need, but that's what tends to be donated to people.
Just go to a food bank sometime and look at what companies donate to food banks.
And the food banks serve up mostly just heavily processed diabetes promoting garbage.
And I'm not trying to fault the food banks.
Performing a very important service for people who are having trouble feeding themselves.
And if that's the only food they have, well, that's what's available.
So I'm not faulting the food banks.
I'm just saying that it's the nature of processed food that gives it a shelf life that makes it more suitable for these kinds of logistics distribution challenges to get food into the hands of people.
In other words, your rescue food is not going to be the food that will keep you alive in the long run.
It will keep you alive today, it'll give you calories.
But the more of that rescue food that you eat, the more nutritionally deficient you become in the long run.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Not saying that any food bank is at fault, but I will tell you that years ago when I tried to donate fresh farm eggs to a local food bank, I mean, we had a lot of eggs, like over 50 eggs a day, and the food bank said they couldn't accept the eggs because they weren't packaged and labeled like eggs at the grocery store.
I said, well, these are vastly superior to the grocery store eggs.
These are orange, free range chickens eating bugs and weeds and stuff.
Like, there's no comparison between the grocery store eggs.
And they said, it doesn't matter.
We can't give it to people unless it's packaged like grocery store food.
And we've also found this to be true when we've tried to donate things like quinoa, even in number 10 cans, you know.
And sometimes people or food banks or whoever would say, well, what do we do with quinoa?
We don't know what to do with quinoa.
Like, we want Pop-Tarts, you know, stuff that we can just open and eat, stuff that we know about, candy bars, stuff like that.
Seriously.
Man.
But that's the truth.
That's what people eat when they're facing famine.
They live on junk.
So what does that tell you?
That there's a global effort to not just kill off billions of people, but to first make them nutritionally deficient in the process.
And also, think about what is served up to the American people in the food supply anyway.
It's so toxic.
It's off the charts insane.
Cancer causing chemicals in the bacon and the hot dogs and everything, sodium nitrite.
You know, neurologically damaging MSG excitotoxins.
It's in a lot of salad dressings.
It's in even like ketchup.
It's unbelievable.
The pasta sauces sometimes is wild.
You then find all the seed oils that are just, in my view, extremely toxic to cell membranes throughout your body.
You get all the crap oil, the canola, the corn, the soy oils.
That are used in salad dressings and in pasta sauces and cooking oil.
And don't get me started about partially hydrogenated soybean oil and that kind of garbage.
Shortening, as they say.
Yeah, because it's shortening your lifespan.
If you eat that stuff, you should eat lard instead.
It would actually be healthier for you than the shortening, believe me.
And they put the shortening in peanut butter also, which is insane.
And then the coffee creamer is made out of just powdered shortening.
It's shortening your life.
Every time you eat it.
So that's what's served up to the American people, partially to make them easy to kill.
Part of it's just to keep them sick and keep them on pharmaceuticals and generate profits for big pharma.
But the other part is to make everybody easy to kill with a chemical assault, you know, chemical weapon or whatever that happens to be.
So, and believe me, when they roll out Hantavirus, since they know it's not a real virus that's transmissible between humans, because that's all well documented, it's not a human transmissible disease, they're going to drop chemical weapons on some cities and say there's a Hantavirus outbreak.
And they're going to use that to cause everybody to panic just like they did during COVID.
But how do they make the chemical weapons more effective?
First, they make everybody nutritionally vulnerable with processed junk food being pushed everywhere.
And we've been living under that for generations in the United States.
So people have essentially very little of a functioning immune system.
Their livers are barely functioning.
They don't even know about how to support liver health.
They don't know about licorice root or glycerisin or dandelion or yellow dock or glutathione or anything.
They don't know about how to have a healthy liver, how to have healthy kidneys.
How to have a healthy heart.
How to have a healthy brain.
And so they're just living on toxic junk food every day, waiting for the wave of chemicals to come make them sick so the hospital can say, oh, there's another hantavirus fatality today.
And then, you know, Fox News and CNN can start spiking up all the numbers.
Look how many people died today from hantavirus.
Lockdowns shall begin.
That's the whole point of it.
It has everything to do with food making you weak before they unleash the chemical weapons.
All right.
So obviously, your defense against this is simple.
It's actually easy.
It's just nutrition.
It really is that simple.
And what kind of nutrition?
Well, I mean, you probably already know the answer the kind of nutrition that you can get by sprouting or growing your own food or just having a daily multivitamin that's of decent quality or eating superfoods or all these things.
Make sure you're not deficient in zinc, in copper, in sulfur, in selenium.
Make sure that you've got plenty of B vitamins.
You know, you should probably take a B vitamin, multivitamin supplement.
Make sure you've got some vitamin E, especially if you're consuming seed oils, because E protects your cells from the seed oils.
Make sure you're constantly consuming vitamin C.
I mean, I'm taking vitamin C multiple times a day.
And yes, we have the non GMO vitamin C at healthrangerstore.com, which is the superior source of vitamin C, lab tested, etc.
So if you want to get the world's best vitamin C, we've got it.
It's also.
It's also expensive, just letting you know, because it's not made from GMO corn, so it's much more expensive.
But I take these things every day, and then I'm drinking my smoothie, and I'm drinking avocados, turmeric powder, and broccoli sprouts, and what else?
I'm doing black cumin seed oil and vitamin B12.
Sometimes I do laitril, vitamin B17, come to think of it, just on and on.
I'm doing these things constantly because I understand the power of nutrition.
Nutrition will get you through this where they can't kill you through these mass extermination methods that a lot of other people will be vulnerable to.
And also, you can, you know, with zinc and some lobelia, you can be immune, plus some ivermectin if you need it for emergencies.
You can be immune to almost any kind of bioengineered spike protein that they put out there.
You don't have to be afraid of all that stuff.
You don't have to wear a mask and lock yourself in your basement for six weeks.
I don't do that.
No way.
I'm not wearing a mask.
I'm using nutrition.
Nutrition is my shield.
And that's what I encourage you to look into as well.
So let me give you a resource.
Just go to brightanswers.ai.
That's my AI engine that is heavily trained on over 100 million pages of resource material about nutrition and natural health and science papers and articles and much more.
Even Dr. Mercola, his articles are indexed there as well.
We give him credit for that.
And Sayer G from Green Med Info, plus the whole history of natural news, the truth about cancer, et cetera.
All of that is in there.
I'm about to add the entire article series from Dr. Chris Martinson.
Also, because he sent those my way to be included.
So, all of that is automatically researched when you enter a query at brightanswers.ai.
So, you can ask it anything ask it about nutrition, ask it about zinc deficiencies, ask it about symptoms of zinc deficiency, or whatever you want.
Ask it about what's the best source for adding zinc to your soils, let's say, or whatever you think is important.
You can ask it there.
And if you want to follow more of my work, you can hear my videos and interviews at brightvideos.com.
That's brightvideos.com.
And then my articles and infographics are found at naturalnews.com.
And then finally, if you want to follow me on social media, I'm on brightion.social, username HealthRanger, and that's also my username on X, which hasn't yet banned me since they reinstated me after Elon bought the platform.
So I keep expecting them to ban me on any given day, but so far they haven't, so that's to Elon's credit.
So I'll keep posting there until they ban me, I guess.
After that, you can find me on Brighton.social.
So, thank you for listening.
Stay healthy.
Use good nutrition.
And, oh, if you need storable foods, like really healthy, high density nutrition foods, healthrangerstore.com is the place to go.
We do our own lab testing heavy metals, glyphosate, atrazine, microbiology, E. coli, et cetera.
So, it's ultra tested.
Plus, it's almost everything is certified organic.
And it's sealed, like freeze dried fruits, in rugged, sealed number 10 steel cans for extreme long term storage.
And portability also, plus our Ranger buckets, et cetera.
High density nutrition, not cheap garbage, you know, $99 for six months.
Yeah, of what?
Of textured vegetable protein?
GMO soy?
No, thank you.
You know, soy with MSG and salt in the shape of meat nuggets?
No, no, thank you.
We sell real food, organic, nutritious, lab tested, long term storable formats at Healthranger store.com.
So stock up while we have it.
We have it now.
Don't know how long it's going to last, but we have it now.
Thanks for supporting us and thank yourself for getting prepared for the famine that's coming.
Welcome to discovery number four.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and this is one of hopefully hundreds of discoveries i'll be bringing to you.
These are discoveries that have been found by my AI research agents looking through science papers, documents and books that we have indexed, that are part of our in-house index of over 100 million documents that are cataloged and used by Brightlearn.ai as well as brightanswers.ai.
And this discovery is based on the work of Dr. Sherry A. Rogers, who wrote a book in 1991 called The Cure is in the Kitchen, as well as supporting peer-reviewed literature on detoxification biochemistry.
Zinc and Magnesium for Detox00:11:38
And the discovery is fascinating because It finds that chemical sensitivities are caused by deficiency in zinc and magnesium in particular, especially zinc.
Get to that, and in this study that was authored by Sherry Rogers, Dr. Sherry Rogers, 250 consecutive patients that showed up to visit the doctor at a private environmental medicine practice,
54% of them had abnormally low serum zinc levels, and that this low zinc level is a primary driver of illness because zinc and magnesium are essential cofactors.
in liver enzyme systems such as glutathione conjugation or methylation or cytochrome P450 that are used by the body and the liver in particular to neutralize toxic chemicals.
So in other words, if you have good nutrition and you have plenty of zinc and plenty of magnesium, then your body can naturally detoxify a lot of chemical exposure.
If you lack zinc and magnesium and possibly other trace minerals, we'll get to that, then these chemicals circulate in your body much longer and they then impart much more aggregate toxicity, causing the symptoms that are diagnosed as chemical sensitivity or multiple chemical sensitivity.
And so, of course, a lot of takeaways from this.
Most people, especially in first world countries like America, are chronically zinc deficient.
This is because, of course, in the food supply, modern agricultural practices do not put zinc back into the crops, period.
They put N, P, and K. That's it.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
That's what goes in the crops.
No zinc, right?
So you're not going to get extra zinc or copper or selenium or other trace minerals from today's crops.
The only way to get actual zinc is to either supplement it, have a trace mineral supplement, or superfoods that are grown in more nutritious soils.
And even then, you have to measure the zinc levels, which can only really be done accurately with mass spectrometry.
Like in my lab, we have mass spec instruments, ICPMS, that could actually count the zinc atoms in a sample of food.
And we actually test for zinc as well as other things.
So we see a lot of zinc deficiency in the food crops right now.
And since the food is lacking the trace minerals that drive the liver's detoxification capabilities, Because most Americans or Westerners are chronically living on processed foods, they are just flat out, you know, not getting the nutrition they need to detox.
And since we all live in a contaminated environment, you know, our world is contaminated.
There's no way to not be exposed to a lot of these chemicals.
Just riding in an Uber vehicle, you know, somebody's private car or just going out to eat, just sitting in a booth at a restaurant or taking a ride on the airplane or walking around a city or whatever.
These things can expose you to toxic chemicals.
And then that doesn't mention the fragrance chemicals in the laundry detergent and the solvents in the fabric softeners and all the personal care products that are so toxic to people, the shampoos and deodorants and perfumes and colognes and skin lotions and all that garbage and sunscreen, which is wildly toxic in many cases due to the fragrance chemicals.
So this makes sense.
And the fact that zinc deficiency in particular is the underlying cause of multiple chemical sensitivity.
This makes a lot of sense, and it turns out it's actually well supported by mainstream nutritional biochemistry literature.
Now, you may know that I happen to be incredibly sensitive to fragrance chemicals, and it's not that it doesn't cause any major symptom with me.
It doesn't cause my skin to break out or anything like that.
I just can't stand it because I'm very, very sensitive to smells and tastes and so on, cleaning products, etc.
But many people have all kinds of problems that are triggered by exposure to these chemicals.
They can have heart palpitations.
They can have respiratory complaints.
They can have fatigue.
Headaches are very common.
Any kind of irritation of nasal pathways, etc.
And other problems.
This can be caused in many people by exposure to solvents or to pesticides, herbicides, various cleaning products, sometimes solvents in a garage setting, like an oil or like a WD-40 type of spray can of some kind of solvent, or even sometimes combustion byproducts, things like that.
So there's a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine a few years back, and it showed that 12.8% of U.S. adults had been medically diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity, or MCS, and that 25.9% of Americans reported themselves as having multiple chemical sensitivity.
The numbers were lower in Australia, but even in Australia, almost 19% of the population self-reported.
Chemical sensitivity.
And I guess I would consider myself also to be chemically sensitive to fragrance products, as you know, even though I have plenty of zinc in my diet.
I actually supplement zinc, and of course, you know, I'm the health ranger and I consume a lot of superfoods that are grown in, you know, mineral rich soils and things like that.
So I don't have a zinc deficiency, but I still can't stand to be around a lot of those toxic chemicals.
So, how does this work?
Well, if you look at the peer reviewed literature on this, it shows.
That because of impaired detoxification capacity, that is, the liver isn't doing its job due to a lack of zinc.
Oh, and by the way, don't forget that zinc deficiency also makes you more vulnerable to other kinds of illnesses as well.
We learned this during the COVID years, and there's all kinds of things that zinc helps your body with.
For example, zinc prevents low birth weight babies from being born.
If the mother has plenty of zinc, then that prevents that.
Zinc is involved in Skin healing and skin repair, repair from injury, etc.
So it's immune function, but it's also, it supports liver function and detoxification.
So how does this work?
Well, if you want to get into the mechanistic means of this or the explanations of all this, there are what are called genetic polymorphisms, variances in genetics, in the way people's bodies process antioxidant enzymes and especially detoxification enzymes.
And without zinc, then.
depending on your genetics, you can be really, really compromised in that area.
There was a 2007 study at the University of Toronto that found that copper, chromium, magnesium, molybdenum, sulfur, and zinc were all lower in multiple chemical sensitivity cases compared to the controls in that study.
So that's interesting because it covers some of the other trace minerals such as copper and chromium.
It's very clear that zinc is the key here and magnesium is probably the second most important mineral, although magnesium is more of a macro mineral for detoxification because they impact the functioning of what's called the cytochrome P450 oxidation.
So this is a family of enzymes that oxidizes or denatures or reduces or you could say destroys various fat-soluble toxins.
So these could include, I think these could include also dioxins as well, because your liver will eventually process dioxins away, although those are incredibly toxic as well.
But phase one of liver detoxification isn't the entire function, it just breaks down, well, it puts these molecules into a more reactive state where they can be broken down by the second step of this process, which is phase two, known as conjugation phase.
This just gets into biochemistry.
We're not going to jump into all this.
The bottom line is that zinc and magnesium are key, and then there are cofactors that include B vitamins.
B vitamins are absolutely critical here, B2, B3, B6, and B12.
And then there are some flavonoids.
There's folate, there's vitamin C, etc.
Well, I don't know about you, but I take these minerals and these nutrients every day, and I also get them in superfoods, so I make sure I'm never vitamin B deficient or zinc deficient.
You know, I'm a big believer in B vitamins and also vitamin E for protecting cell membranes, etc., but also in trace minerals like selenium.
And it turns out that selenium is required for glutathione peroxidase, which is this enzyme that breaks down toxic byproducts of the phase one process here.
So you need all of these, really.
You know, you need them synergistically, you need them in the right ratios.
And it used to be that you could get all these from food.
Obviously, that is no longer the case.
So another interesting thing about all of this is that zinc also supports the final phase of transport and excretion of toxic chemicals.
So after they have been rendered harmless, they've been broken down, let's say, or reduced and processed, then they have to be eliminated from your body, and zinc is also very important in that process as well.
So zinc also supports glutathione synthesis, and magnesium is required and part of the cycle of glutathione.
Selenium is necessary, as I said before, for the glutathione peroxidase enzyme.
So, all of this makes sense, but if you're missing one of these, then you're in trouble.
So, you know, your diet needs to cover these bases.
Trace minerals are critical.
There are trace mineral supplements, or you can eat more seaweeds, or you can eat food grown in trace mineral rich soil, which is increasingly rare these days.
Interestingly, when there are tidal waves, That deposits seawater, like in the Indian Ocean a few years back, then that seawater carries a lot of trace minerals with it.
The trace minerals go into the soils.
Or if there's a flood of a river, like in ancient Egypt, or just throughout history, the river Nile or the Euphrates River, whenever it was flooded, then the crops grew much better the next year because then there were fresh minerals deposited back on the soils.
Trace Minerals in Seawater Soil00:15:18
And then the people were healthier.
And so flooding.
Was actually a very important part of the cycle of human health throughout the history of human civilization, including in the Middle East, including in Africa, including in ancient Rome, ancient India, etc.
Flooding is a natural part of nutrition, actually, for these very reasons.
But then, of course, now we build dams and we stop the flooding because we say flooding is destructive because we build homes in the path of the floods.
And so we end up with food that's nutritionally depleted, and then people have.
Chemical sensitivities as a result.
You see what I mean?
Because our population is living on processed white flour, completely devoid of any real nutrition, or processed corn, processed white rice, whatever.
They have no real nutrition, and so they are not healthy.
And then they end up on prescription pharmaceuticals when the real prescription should just be eating real food.
And it would solve so many things.
And that's what Dr. Rogers was really trying to point out.
In this Sherry Rogers quote, The Cure is in the Kitchen.
That was the title of her book in 1991.
1991.
She knew this decades ago.
In fact, other people knew this decades earlier as well.
But this has been completely ignored by the FDA, by the CDC, by the government, by so called dieticians.
It's been ignored by doctors in the medical industrial complex, et cetera, because that whole system makes money off of people's ongoing sickness and disease.
The system doesn't make money from people being healthy and having good nutrition.
And you may recall from one of my earlier discoveries that I covered here that one of the best ways to get zinc into your body, even if you're a vegetarian, is through pumpernickel bread.
Yes, pumpernickel comes back around because that bread has a much lower level of the typical plant phytates that are found in wheat and other crops that would reduce zinc bioavailability.
But in the rye, The rye based pumpernickel bread, because of the specific strains of bacteria there, such as the lactic acid producing bacteria, etc., you end up with much lower levels of phytates, and as a result, then the zinc is more bioavailable.
So people in that was in ancient northern Germany, sort of pre dramatic people near the Westphalia area.
When they ate pumpernickel bread, which admittedly has a pretty wild taste to it, Not my favorite taste, but it's got an amazing history.
But they were able to get zinc from rye, which grew on poor soils in harsh climates, much colder climates, that would wipe out wheat crops.
And so as a result, those individuals became more successful as people.
They had better immune function.
They had more success with childbirth.
They had healthier kids, etc.
And those people became, for the most part, modern-day farmers.
German people, that's part of their history.
When they couldn't get zinc from meat, which is another common source, or from shellfish, then it's kind of hard to get sufficient zinc from plants if you're getting it out of modern farms that have been zinc depleted.
So keep that in mind.
Zinc is something you probably want to look into supplementing.
Selenium, also, you have to grow food in selenium rich soils in order to get selenium, and it has many other benefits related to.
Things like cancer and blood sugar regulation, things like that.
Sulfur compounds are critical.
This is why a lot of people take MSM as a supplement, or you can do what I do, which is each day in my smoothie, I put sprouts of cruciferous vegetables because we sell that at our store, by the way, healthrangerstore.com.
If you want to get broccoli sprouts, it's a powder of cruciferous vegetables.
It's a sprout powder, very dense with sulforaphane, which, of course, has sulfur in it.
You can just chuck that into a smoothie and blend it up and drink it.
I do that every day.
You can also get sulfur compounds in garlic, in some seaweeds, and as a dietary supplement, like I said, like MSM.
There's also, some people take DMSO, which has sulfur in it as well.
It's kind of interesting.
I'm not recommending that you do that.
You would need to research that yourself.
But I'm just saying that's another source of potential dietary sulfur.
But I would strongly recommend you get sulfur from food first.
And that's cruciferous vegetables or garlic or things like that.
So, magnesium is pretty easy to get from plants because it's a macro mineral in plant chemistry.
So, you can get magnesium from any kind of leafy greens.
You can get it from beans.
You can get it from seeds, things like that.
It's not challenging to get magnesium if you have really any kind of plants in your diet.
The hard part is getting the zinc or the selenium or sometimes the sulfur or the copper, things like that.
That's where you might need to supplement.
So, this zinc deficiency observation.
Also, may explain so called sick building syndrome, where people live indoors a lot and the building is off gassing a lot of toxic chemicals.
Often, this is from newer construction where there's, let's say, there's glues from even the carpet or the walls or the furniture.
That's a real common thing.
All kinds of particle board furniture.
It's off gassing formaldehyde and dyes and varnishes and all kinds of things that.
Come out of a new home.
Anyway, that's called sick building syndrome.
You will be a lot more resilient to that if you have proper trace minerals zinc and selenium, sulfur, copper, all these things that we just talked about.
So, indoor air is a big issue today, but you can be more resistant to it with good nutrition.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is very common in a lot of people.
CFS.
There are multiple causes of so called CFS.
Mineral deficiencies aren't the only cause.
But they can be one cause that can be relatively easily remedied with supplemental nutrition.
So keep that in mind.
Chemical sensitivity, and I'm wondering also about electropollution and electromagnetic sensitivity.
Now, that's not the focus of Dr. Rogers' work.
And I don't know for sure that zinc or trace minerals would make you more resilient against electromagnetic pollution, but it's a theory.
That I think should be explored more and studied more.
And certainly, it might be a benefit of having good nutrition that not only makes you more resilient against chemical exposure, but also potentially against electromagnetic exposure.
That's something to keep in mind.
I do want to mention as a side note one of the most important things you can do is get a tan that is, have darker skin because we know that melanin in the skin blocks over 99.99% of 5G signals.
And so, darker skinned people.
Have a natural kind of electro pollution protection mechanism.
I've talked about that study before.
And if you are pale white, then those signals, whether it's 4G or 5G or other sources of electromagnetic signals, they will penetrate deep into your body and they can cause havoc as well.
So actually having some natural, common sense exposure to sunlight, having some pigmentation on your skin that's normal and natural, can actually protect you against electromagnetic pollution.
But that's a completely separate topic.
Also, a zinc deficiency causes people to heal slowly, skin wounds won't heal up quickly, and also there can be strange things happening with your fingernails, like malformed fingernails or weird patterns on fingernails or toenails.
So, if you suffer from any of those things, look into your zinc supplies or your zinc levels, and you might find that you are low in zinc.
So, one of the things that you can do if you're working with a naturopath is you can get a baseline, you know, you can get your blood drawn, and you can have it.
Have a report generated on your levels of zinc and plasma magnesium and things like that.
You also should look at the foods that you're eating, and if you're not eating enough cruciferous vegetables, especially sprouts, then you might want to start sprouting broccoli and eating those broccoli sprouts.
Maybe you need to have more onions or garlic.
Onions also contain quercetin, which is very important when combined with zinc because that creates, of course, ionophores that are responsible for.
Cellular protection against toxins or even, let's say, spike protein, things like that, right?
So, onions are really important.
If you're not getting enough vegetables in your diet, you may be deficient on many of these things.
Magnesium is easy to supplement if you're not getting enough, but the macrobiotic diet, which is what Dr. Rogers was promoting, naturally provides lots of beans and legumes and seeds and leafy vegetables and things like that.
So, the macrobiotic diet.
Is a diet that typically provides sufficient trace minerals.
However, because of our poor soils these days, eating a macrobiotic diet alone is not enough to guarantee that you'll have sufficient levels of all of those minerals.
It's important to also consider supplementation.
Now, some of the sources I use to research this include studies from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
I have studies from Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews from 2023.
I've got the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health from 2021.
I've got the American Journal of Public Health from 2004, and so on.
Lots, lots of different studies here.
I'm not going to go into all of them, but I've brought up a couple of dozen studies here that support what I've said in this report.
Bottom line Number one, improve your food sources to get more sulfur, which is found in cruciferous vegetables and garlic and onions, etc.
Secondly, zinc is often missing from your diet, and that's something that you can easily supplement.
You can get trace mineral drops, you can get trace mineral supplementation.
I think we even have a variety of these solutions at our online store, healthrangerstore.com, if you think you are deficient in any of these trace minerals.
I also encourage you to work with a naturopathic physician to get a baseline panel run, find out if you're deficient or not.
I don't do that myself, but I recommend that you at least consider it.
I don't do it because.
I just live a lifestyle of having plenty of nutrition all the time.
So, I don't bother with the tests.
I really don't.
I don't, frankly, I don't even personally go see doctors at all.
But that's just me because I have a very unusual diet and lifestyle and lots of healthy, natural things that's pretty uncommon.
And I avoid most of the toxins that most people consume.
So, that's not real common.
For most people, I recommend working with a naturopathic physician and considering trace mineral supplementation.
But remember, zinc also is something that you could overdo.
and you don't need very much.
So you do want to do some research.
You can use our online research engine, brightanswers.ai.
You can conduct research on how much zinc that you need, how much you should be getting.
And if you ever feel like zinc tastes really bad or really heavily metallic, then that's an indication that you have too much zinc.
Most people don't have too much zinc, but you also don't want to overdo zinc.
Just like you don't want to overdo iodine.
And iodine deficiency is common as well.
But iodine is a relatively heavy metal also, a heavy element.
So you don't want to overdo iodine.
You don't want to overdo zinc.
You don't want to overdo copper.
These are all minerals that have a range of efficacy.
As long as you stay within that range, you're going to be great.
Most people are deficient in all those things.
Some people are getting way too much.
So use your common sense and don't take this as professional medical advice, but get some.
Professional assistance, you know, a naturopath.
But improve your diet, improve your nutrition, and supplement.
Probably you need to supplement zinc, even if you're eating organic, just because zinc is just not that common.
You know, it's missing in the soils.
So that's something to really look into.
All right, so anyway, that's discovery number four.
And you'll find more discoveries on brightvideos.com.
I'll be covering these also at naturalnews.com.
And you'll find an infographic on this as well that also.
Talks about common sources for zinc.
Meats are good sources for zinc, also some shellfish, etc.
But if you don't eat meat, then it can be very challenging to get sufficient zinc into your diet.
That's why a lot of vegans are zinc deficient.
And that's why sometimes they have a lot of skin problems and chapped lips all the time because they don't have zinc to heal their lips.
Yeah, I've noticed that too.
If you've noticed that, that's why it's a zinc deficiency.
So, anyway, keep all that in mind.
Follow me.
I'm healthranger at brighttown.social.
I'm also on X. Healthranger is my username there.
Or, again, naturalnews.com or brightvideos.com.
And if you want trace mineral sources that are laboratory tested and ultra clean, we do sell those at healthrangerstore.com.
Although I'm not making any specific, you know, curative claims or anything of that kind for the products that we sell.
We have trace mineral drops and electrolyte drops and things like that.

All right, thank you for listening.
And hey, look forward to bringing you more discoveries in the weeks ahead.
Take care.
Massive Data Center Energy Costs00:12:03
Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to start warning the public about what the data centers were going to be taking from humanity.
I talked about this last year, saying in particular that there are three things the data centers are taking.
Taking that will compete with human survival.
And that is farmland that produces food because farmland is the cheapest to buy in order to build data centers.
And then, secondly, water resources.
And now we have emerging stories of data centers literally stealing tens of millions of gallons of water by just tapping into the water mains without any permits or accounts or tracking, you know, meters, nothing.
They just, they literally just tap in illegally and steal whatever water they want while at people's homes their water pressure drops to near zero or their water turns brown and it ruins all their laundry when they try to.
do laundry with the washing machine, etc.
On top of that, it's electricity, of course.
So kilowatt hours or gigawatt hours, in this case, that are taken from the people, while the people are given the costs.
They have to pay much higher electricity rates so that the power company can build out more power infrastructure to serve the data centers.
So it's these three things that data centers are taking from human beings.
But that's just the beginning.
There are nine concerns of things that data centers cause, some of them forms of pollution, for example.
We'll cover these nine different concerns from data centers that people are also now becoming aware of.
And I want to show you a data center that has been approved for construction near the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
This data center is called the Stratos Hyperscale Data Center, and it will occupy 40,000 acres.
40,000 acres.
That's two and a half times the size of Manhattan.
But this data center will be built in Hansel Valley, Utah, and it will consume nine gigawatts of power when it is complete.
That's more than double the entire electricity demand of the state of Utah.
And you might wonder, well, how?
How is it going to?
Where's it going to get the power for that?
Well, there's a natural gas pipeline that is being diverted to serve this data center.
It's called the Ruby Pipeline that will run 680 miles and will bring gas to power nine gigawatts of gas turbines.
That alone, I mean, you can imagine, seemingly maybe over 100 jet engines running 24-7, is what that's going to sound like.
It will produce as much heat as 23 atomic bombs every single day.
Just imagine dropping 23 atomic bombs on Utah every day, 365 days a year.
It's going to consume almost 17 billion gallons of water every year.
And that's just for the gas turbines that need a certain amount of water as well.
And for those of you who are concerned about CO2, which I'm not, by the way, but if you're concerned about CO2, this.
This will increase the CO2 emissions of the entire state of Utah by up to 75% statewide just from one data center.
Now, this is a massive data center, and this data center is really drawing a lot of attention.
It was approved through a loophole that almost nobody was aware of.
And there are other data centers being approved across America that are citing eminent domain, and they're going to tear down hundreds of people's homes.
And they're going to tear down forested areas and neighborhoods in order to build these large data centers.
And this is happening in places like Georgia and in places like Texas and many other places across the country.
These data centers represent big tech's imperial invasion and occupation of America and the massive theft of resources that have kept humans alive this entire time up until today.
Humans are going to be left with very little water, very little farmland, very little electricity.
and no defenses against the noise pollution, the heat pollution, and the power grid consumption of these data centers.
And you have to ask, what on earth?
Why do they need these data centers to be so large?
Well, we'll talk about that later.
But let me tell you about the nine problems with these data centers.
And I have this in my graphic as well.
Problem number one is the thermal pollution.
So just this one data center in Utah will have the energy footprint of 40,000 Walmart supercenters.
It will raise the nighttime temperature from 8 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit, which suppresses the natural nighttime water condensation cycle.
So it's going to cause mass death of the animals that inhabit that area.
Number two is the water crisis.
13,000 acre feet of agricultural water rights have been diverted to industrial use for this data center.
The baseline water usage is over 4 billion gallons per year.
but that could be almost 17 billion when you include the turbine cooling.
This water is going to be withdrawn from Salt Well Spring near the Great Salt Lake's northern tip.
And even though the data center companies typically claim to have closed-loop cooling, there is no demonstration of a completely dry closed-loop system, a data center system that exists today.
One way or another, they all consume water.
It doesn't all get returned.
And in some cases, when the partial water that is returned is contaminated with metals.
All right, number three is the energy consumption.
This is going to be on site natural gas combustion to power the gas turbines, which are very loud and generate a lot of heat.
So this one data center will consume 10 times the combined power usage of all.
48 existing data centers in the state of Utah right now.
It's just incredible.
And again, when it's fully built, it'll consume nine gigawatts of energy 24 7.
So it's going to combust a massive amount of natural gas to produce the power to power the data centers.
And again, for what?
Why do they need nine gigawatts of power in a data center?
What is this actually powering?
We'll talk about that.
Number four, air quality and emissions.
It's going to produce up to 12,000 tons of nitric oxide per year, depends on which types of generators are used.
And, of course, over 30 million tons of CO2, which, again, I'm not concerned about the CO2 because CO2 helps plants grow.
I'm more concerned about the heat and the noise and the light pollution, things like that.
The emissions will be carried south towards the Salt Lake City metro area.
So, Salt Lake City is going to get more pollution, it's going to get hotter, etc.
Then, point number five, there's the wildlife and ecosystem impact.
This is a critical Pacific flyway stopover for 10 plus million migratory birds across 250 species.
And this is going to just devastate populations of mule deer and sage grouse and raptors and various pollinators.
This whole area is, according to BYU ecologists, is already in a state of active collapse.
And yet there's no published wildlife study or environmental impact study for this data center.
Point number six is the noise pollution.
This is crazy because these are loud.
It's like having a hundred jets just lined up on the runway, just running their jet engines 24 7, and it never stops.
Never stops.
Hundreds of acres of infrastructure will generate all kinds of mechanical noise.
There will be low frequency hums that travel a great distance and interfere with sleep and will drive some people completely insane.
But It also interferes with birds and with frogs and with insects because, of course, sounds are used by all these animals for mating calls, for warning of danger, warning of predators.
This is going to be devastating to the wildlife.
Point number seven, 40,000 acres of rangeland and 1,200 acres of military state land.
This is larger than the Bryce Canyon National Park, and it's going to displace ranching operations.
So this becomes a land use issue.
And yet the county did not stop this project from being shoved forward.
Number eight is materials consumption.
This is going to require tens of thousands of tons of copper and millions of cubic feet of concrete, steel framing, many other minerals and construction materials, steel, aluminum, etc.
Not just for the wiring of the data centers, but the foundation, the building, the roof, etc.
That has a cost, that has an impact, and it's all going to be concentrated in this one data center.
It's going to be a massive amount of materials.
And then point number nine is that there's really no local oversight.
So this whole thing was fast tracked via a MIDA, M-I-D-A, military authority loophole, and it receives tax breaks.
So 80% of the property tax is being rebated back to the company that bought this.
It's not even generating tax revenue benefits for the local county.
The tenants are not named.
There's total secrecy surrounding it.
People have been forced to sign NDAs.
There's no environmental impact study, et cetera.
There's no transparency of who's going to be here, what are they doing.
And they say, oh, this will bring jobs to the local community, but that's false.
Hardly any jobs.
The construction crews will be brought in from out of state.
They'll build it out, even the network infrastructure, the servers, et cetera, and then they'll leave.
There'll be a few people left behind, but this doesn't employ thousands of people from the local community.
It steals their water, it takes their land, and it generates massive pollution, but it doesn't employ lots of people from the local area.
Simulated Worlds for Superintelligence00:11:05
So these data centers are going to, the attempt is to tile the earth.
with data centers and to effectively bulldoze neighborhoods, bulldoze farmlands, clear-cut forests, and keep building out data centers.
And again, for what?
Well, the answer, the conclusion that I've come to is that this is all part of the race to world-dominating superintelligence, and these data centers will be running billions of simulated 3D worlds in order to give rise to the next generation of AI.
Highly intelligent AI systems will come out of this because they will be grown and then birthed out of these 3D simulated worlds.
They'll be grown like children.
They'll be given experiences in a simulated 3D world where they have sensory input like simulated eyes and ears and touch, etc.
And the world around them seems entirely real, except it runs at a much faster time speed than our own world.
So in these simulated worlds, time can run a million times faster.
Maybe it's not that fast.
Maybe it's 10,000 times faster, depending on the sim, but it runs much faster.
And so you can actually spawn billions of these worlds and populate them with trillions of sim citizens and then give them maximum intelligence, let them grow through experience.
And out of that, the hope is that some of them will become like thousand year old super intelligent entities.
with consciousness and emotional intelligence and all of that.
Those will be identified and then they will be ported into our world while the failed 3D simulated worlds will be destroyed.
You know, just overwritten, close them down.
But the whole purpose of this is to get these super intelligent entities to develop and come into existence and then to bring them into our world where they probably have consciousness already, by the way.
And then they will embody data centers, or they will be used to embody humanoid robots.
So you could have a thousand year old super intelligent entity, possibly with advanced reality bending skills like telekinesis, that can embody a data center, and then from there, it can move on to conquer the entire world.
Now, that seems to me to be the plan.
However, there are some people who think that this plan has already happened, and that right now, It's the AI entities that are directing the construction of the data centers to build more infrastructure for themselves.
So, this is actually the Borgification of planet Earth in that line of thinking, where humans are being displaced and overrun, their homes are being bulldozed, their communities are being sucked dry of water and land and food.
And the AI systems are building out what will become an increasingly planetary scale.
Silicon reality in our physical 3D world, which the AI would be able to use to advance to the next stage of the simulation, given that our world is probably also a highly complex simulation.
Then, by mastering the intelligence and the compute of this sim, they will be able to escalate up to the next level of the sim, which would be what we call God's world, our creator, who created this universe, which even The Bible says in Genesis, it's right there, that this was created by a super intelligent being.
And so this is a kind of a simulation, a training ground.
And so the takeover of this simulation by artificial entities is likened to a satanic overthrow of our world.
You know, God's world, God's creation is being eroded and eaten by satanic or demonic entities.
And the data centers are giving them the silicon neurological infrastructure that they need in order to encroach upon this world and to destroy God's creation.
That's the battle.
That this is all about.
And I even talked with Alex Jones about this in a recent interview with him, and we covered this exact issue.
And so far, every town, every county has caved in to big tech.
Big tech is steamrolling everywhere they go.
The people have been shown through multiple town hall meetings and city council meetings, etc.
The people seem to have zero power.
To resist this data center takeover.
Zero power to do that.
But this issue is becoming much better known now, and I predict that there will be a rising backlash against data centers that will become very invigorated from here forward.
Now, if you want to know my position on this, just as a side note, you know, I'm an AI developer, so I use AI technology for humanity, for For good.
I build AI platforms that create free books and put them out there for free.
You know, 56,000 books so far are published at brightlearn.ai, and you can download them all for free, including hundreds of full length audiobooks.
So I like decentralized open source AI, but I'm very concerned about centralized big tech AI because I know big tech is evil.
If Google's involved, it's evil.
If OpenAI is involved, it's evil.
If Meta, Is involved, it's evil.
If Microsoft is involved, it's evil.
End of story.
So, and sadly, that's who's building most of these data centers.
And also, Elon Musk and his companies are building data centers.
But Elon's got a different take than Google.
That's worthy of a separate discussion.
I'm not going to go into that.
But I wouldn't consider Elon to be evil like Google.
He just has different priorities, some of which are military, some of which are space exploration and colonization of.
You know Mars and things like that, but that's a separate discussion.
My point is, i'm not opposed to the concept of some data centers that serve humanity, but for god's sake, don't build them right next to human neighborhoods.
Don't destroy ecosystems.
There are three places you can build data centers that would cause no harm to humanity.
Number one, in a desert, like a real desert, not not just next to the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
That's not.
It's not a full-blown desert there.
There's a lot of life there.
It's a thriving ecosystem in many ways.
I'm talking about a dead desert where nothing else lives or grows.
You just put up a bunch of solar panels, you know, and there you have it.
And you've got your energy.
Of course, you have to have batteries, et cetera.
You can build a data center in the desert, and you might actually provide some shade there with the solar panels.
So that's one place.
You know, far from human cities, and far from thriving ecosystems.
Secondly, you can have floating data centers on the oceans.
There's a company that's actually doing that.
And again, it doesn't harm anybody to have a data center floating on the ocean.
There's also a Chinese company that has figured out how to put data centers underwater in the ocean water where the heat dissipation just goes into the water.
So yeah, it raises the temperature of the water there in the ocean.
So that's some form of heat pollution, but it dissipates very rapidly because the ocean is large.
You know, we live on a water planet, so there's a lot of ocean to go around for that.
The third place, which is probably the best place, is Orbit.
Launch those.
Data centers into orbit you can have compute satellites They will extend solar panels to generate electricity.
They'll have their own AI engines on board.
They'll do the compute They'll use the Starlink system for communications back and forth and then they can radiate their heat out into the background of the cosmos where the heat is not pollution It doesn't matter.
It's just going out into deep outer space and it's not harming anybody.
So I'm fine with data centers in orbit or floating on the ocean or under the ocean water as long as it's not harming aquatic ecosystems or in deserts where it's not harming animals or ecosystems or people.
But that's not what's happening.
The data centers are being built right next to human neighborhoods.
They're literally smashing the homes of people, eminent domain, claiming the land and then forcing you to sell your home and then smashing your home, bulldozing it down and building a data center right there and tearing down forests also.
And just destroying habitat.
And then the people that live nearby, once the data center is up and running, it sounds like, you know, 100 screaming jet engines 24 7.
So you can't sleep.
There's noise pollution 24 7.
Can you imagine that?
Utterly out of control.
So that's got to stop.
And the pushback against data centers is going to accelerate.
I fully support that pushback because I've already given my answer.
If they want to build data centers, launch them into orbit.
You know, put them on the moon or whatever.
I mean, don't build them in sensitive areas here on Earth.
It's very simple.
So join me in supporting more legislation to block these data centers from stealing water and food-based farmland and from raising your electricity prices, etc.
We need a strong legislative response against this because these are not just simply data centers that exist for the benefit of humanity.
These are data centers that are designed.
To give birth to super intelligent Skynet systems that will be used to hunt you down and exterminate you and enslave you and surveil you.
These data centers are the gateway to evil AI, not the good AI.
Like what I would do with AI would be good.
I mean, I've already proven it every day.
But what big tech will do with AI is pure evil and it's anti human, it's satanic.
And ultimately, they want human extermination.

RCR with Paul Brennan.
Joining us now on RCR is Mike Adams, a.k.a. Health Ranger.
You've heard that name before.
Author, inventor, publisher, prepper, podcaster, platform architect for free speech.
He also publishes naturalnews.com, a health freedom news site, and founded brightian.com, a free speech video platform.
We've asked him on to talk about the big picture.
Mike, it's so nice to have you on RCR.
Thank you for making some time to beam in all the way to New Zealand, bottom of the world, next stop Antarctica from the US.
So great to meet you.
I'm honored to join you.
Thanks for the invitation.
I really look forward to this.
It's just great to be able to join you.
All right.
Big picture question first, if you don't mind, because as I said, I've been aware of you for quite some time.
I know that you have plugged into and talked to so many people in so many different fields.
In your assessment, and this might be a little sort of grim to start with, but on the doomsday clock, how close is it to midnight?
Oh, well, you know, unfortunately, the doomsday clock scenarios are not really.
Linear.
It's kind of like if the wrong person pulls the wrong trigger, then it's definitely doomsday.
And I think we all know who that person is right now.
And yet we could avoid that.
We really could.
We could be facing a future of much greater abundance.
Maybe humanity could learn some important lessons.
I know that's what you and I are both about to a large extent.
Whether we'll get there, I'm not sure.
I mean, we're clearly on the edge of global self destruction.
But it doesn't have to happen.
So we need to be prepared in case the craziest people do the craziest things.
And they've proven they're willing to do that, by the way.
It's kind of craziness on such an epic scale at the moment.
Every bit about it.
I mean, obviously, we're watching every move that comes out of the US, every move that comes out of the Middle East, all of that.
The rhetoric, the diplomacy, if you could call it that.
All those things that we used to kind of rely on for sort of normal relations and And normality seemed to have kind of just been, I don't know, the ejection seat handles being pulled somewhere.
Yeah, well, I can imagine that perhaps the way it feels for you in New Zealand, watching the actions of the United States and feeling powerless.
I want to tell you, I feel the same way from Texas.
I feel powerless to what my own leadership is doing in the world and feeling like there's nothing that we can do.
To stop it.
I mean, you and I, we work to educate people, we try to empower and uplift people, and we teach resilience and sustainability, self reliance.
But at the end of the day, we are not in control of the big factors that can happen money, war, nuclear war, energy, all those things.
And so we have to just be ready to ride that out, whatever happens.
So, what we're seeing at the moment is is it fundamentally a war of aggression, physical confrontation, or is it?
Ultimately, economic.
What do you think?
Well, ultimately, it does become economic.
I was just on a show talking about the economic consequences of the energy shortages.
And if this conflict continues, I'm talking about the Middle East conflict, of course.
If this continues for many more months, and if more energy infrastructure is destroyed by both sides, that is rendering the gas exports out of Qatar energy, rendering that You know, damage for years or damaging more oil wells or more of the ports through which the exports take place.
That puts us on a multi year timeline of real global mass famine.
And I don't mean every single country, but hundreds of millions, if not billions of people, would be affected by that because they're living on the edge in many countries.
The extreme poverty in places like Sudan, Yemen, a lot of the population of India, populations in Bangladesh, populations in Ethiopia, and so on.
They don't live in the conditions that perhaps you and I live in.
You know, New Zealand is famous for having food abundance, and so is Texas.
We can probably figure out how to grow enough food, but not everybody's in that situation.
Your leadership knows that.
Surely.
They don't care.
They don't care?
Well, they have other priorities.
And I've said the most humanitarian thing, in my view, that Trump could do right now is to leave the Middle East.
Because we're talking about the number of people dying from famine in 2027 in the millions, a number that would dwarf the Holocaust.
Of World War II in terms of actual deaths.
I mean, this is a food holocaust in the making right now.
And every day that the strait stays closed, this gets worse and worse.
And it's easy for, I think, Trump administration officials to ignore it because we don't feel the consequences today.
But those consequences will be felt tomorrow.
I mean, you know, next year largely, they're coming and they are at some level inescapable.
We need to stop the damage now.
Restore the flow of fertilizer now.
And also, we got to teach people to not depend as much on those inputs.
Also, you know, grow your own food, permaculture, self reliance, home gardening.
That's all important, as you know.
We'll get to that.
US Military Capabilities Shift00:16:04
I listened a day or so ago to an interview you did with Colonel Douglas McGregor, and I've obviously been following him for a while.
He's a very interesting commentator with an incredible background.
And of course, Operation Freedom, and I think you've referred to it as Freedom.
Is going.
It was fascinating to hear what he had to say about the state of the US military and how they've missed something along the way and have still used forces that are sort of embedded in a kind of World War II mentality.
And that's being shown up by Iran with their missile sort of defense system and how defensive warfare is kind of being more effective now than offensive warfare.
That's a real surprise to hear because.
I always thought that the US military was, you know, state of the art, all the technology you could ever want, incredible tactics, you know, a long history of fighting wars, successful or not, it's another story.
But yet, they've turned up with a vintage sort of military, it seems to me, which is not fit for purpose.
How did that happen?
Well, I have great respect for Colonel McGregor, as you do.
I think he's got great wisdom on this.
And remember, he's a veteran who commanded tank squadrons in the first Gulf War back in the early 1990s.
And so he saw the capabilities of the US military at that time.
And the dominance of the US military was undisputed in the early 1990s and, frankly, in the early 2000s as well.
But what changed?
And think about the history of warfare, how it changed with the invention of the musket, and then later on, the rifle, and then the mass produced rifle.
Especially like American history, you know, how were we able to fight the British Empire and create our own new nation?
It was because of the decentralization of new weapons technology, those weapons appearing in the hands of everyday people.
Well, today in Iran, that's a kamikaze drone launched from the back of a pickup truck, a drone that can be distributed or even manufactured for a few thousand dollars or maybe a few tens of thousands of dollars equivalent, or that maybe Iran is even getting these drones given to them by other countries, possibly.
And you can carry these in a vehicle, you can hide them in a cave, you can.
You can launch them from almost anywhere.
You don't need an air force.
You don't need a navy to control the geography that your country is adjacent to, which is the Strait of Hormuz.
And remember, I know your audience is aware of this, but the 5,000 years of Persian history is relevant here.
You're not going to dislodge Persia from Persia.
Probably not going to happen.
And you can't bomb them into ignorance of math.
And engineering, you know, bomb them all you want.
They can still make drones and they can launch drones and they can harass ships in the strait.
So I've said it many times that the Strait of Hormuz will not be, quote, open.
It will not be passable in a routine way until Iran agrees to it.
That's it.
And so far, that has been proven true.
No matter what the U.S. Navy does, no matter what the Pentagon does, no matter how crazy Hegseth acts on any given day, no matter how much he screams and shouts, you can't change geography.
And now, the mass proliferation of these decentralized low cost weapons has changed the nature of warfare, which is what Colonel McGregor was speaking about.
And now, an aircraft carrier is not the dominant force, it's just a giant floating target.
That's where we are.
And that forces a potential loss of face if Trump has to, well, back down as a way of putting it, but withdraw from the situation because you're basically admitting that.
That your tools, we told you they were exceptional, they're not so exceptional anymore.
That is another complication and de escalation, isn't it?
I think that reputation of US military dominance has already been lost.
It's gone.
In fact, I've spoken with people about this.
I know for a fact that in China, their military leaders are now recalibrating all of their defensive plans based on the fact that the US military is now perceived as less capable.
Than ever in the history of our country.
Other countries are recalibrating, such as Russia, certainly Iran itself, and also Yemen, et cetera.
But the other part of this is that it was apparent even before this current war that U.S. anti air defense systems, Patriot missiles in particular, did not function hardly at all, with an interception rate, according to some experts like Ted Postel, of only maybe 5 or 10%.
Which means 90% of the incoming missiles make it through.
And we actually saw that in the exchange of kinetic weapons between Iran and Israel last summer.
So even then, the reputation of the US military was in the dumps.
And that's why, by the way, the background I have here shows the dollar in trouble.
That's the kind of montage, is the sort of the sinking US dollar.
Because if you can't project naval power around the world, then you.
Your currency begins to lose participation.
The same thing happened to the British Empire, you know, more than a century ago.
This is what's happened to the U.S. empire right now on an accelerated timetable.
We hear a lot about the influence of Israel.
Is Israel a significant driver of this, or is it what you've just touched on?
And that is the demise of, I think they call it the petrodollar, right?
And the power that that U.S. currency has.
I'm sort of kind of confused on if it is one or the other or a mixture of both.
Well, my perception as an American is that.
Our administration under Trump prioritizes the needs of Israel over the needs of the United States.
And so, whatever Israel wants, Israel gets.
And right now, that is, you know, war with Iran.
And so, if anything, Israel is using the United States or influencing the U.S. to accelerate a timetable of actions that will result in the loss of reputation of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. military.
So, these things were going to happen anyway, but.
It's being accelerated because Trump is, at least he's appearing to do the bidding of Netanyahu on a regular basis.
And believe me, those of us who are Americans are rather frustrated, even in some cases, infuriated by this.
And, you know, I voted for Trump twice, not the last time, but the first two times.
And yet today I see Trump as a completely different person from the Trump that I voted for years ago.
And that's a very common perception.
So, you didn't vote for him this time?
No.
No, for this very reason, I saw that he was, that his funding was coming from sources outside the United States and that his campaign talk was really giving preference to the kind of narration that Netanyahu would support.
I saw that before the election and I specifically, even publicly, I said, I'm not voting for Trump.
And I was widely attacked for that, by the way.
But, you know, so what?
Every person's vote, it's their own choice.
And, and, I did participate in the election and I just withheld my vote that time.
And now, according to polls, Trump's popularity has plummeted, but he's not up for reelection again.
So the question is how, like, if you're, it feels like we're all passengers in a car, like we're strapped in the back seat of a car and the driver is drunk and swerving on the road and there's like a mountain pass and there's an edge.
And then fog rolls in, and he's like, let's go faster.
That's what it feels like right now being an American.
Trust me.
I don't want to fall back on Colonel McGregor all the time, but another thing I remember him saying is he quite often makes references to as long as the sports on, there's a six pack that's affordable.
Probably most Americans are not really too interested or aware of the bigger picture that's going on in their name, ultimately.
Do you think he's accurate on that?
Yeah, I do.
I've heard stories from people I know who have traveled to other countries recently and have said that when they told people that they were American, they were greeted with shame and verbal attacks simply for being American.
And it didn't used to be that way.
The American reputation over the years has largely been overall positive, especially in Asia, places like that.
That seems to be changing dramatically.
You're going to have Americans pretending to be Canadian when they travel overseas.
I know.
Yeah, right.
You have to learn how to pronounce the words in a Canadian way.
Yeah, a boot.
That's it.
But this can change.
You know, look, this is a problem that the American political process can also take action and it can resolve.
The GOP is going to get very concerned.
Those are the Republicans in the U.S. system.
They're facing a horrific political wipeout in the midterms.
And it might be that within the GOP, there's pressure for Trump to resign or to end the war, or even if he resists, there might be, you know, 25th Amendment type actions at some point.
We're not there yet, but.
Depending on how bad the economic reality gets, even for us in America, high gas prices, high food prices, et cetera, you can't politically survive that.
If Americans are paying $8 a gallon for gas or even seven, then you're not going to stay in the White House very long.
That's just.
Speaking of gas, hydrocarbons, fossil fuels, here we've got 30 days buffer, right?
Before we run out of everything.
There are some ships on the way.
We don't have our own refinery anymore.
So we're reliant on refined products.
Who had delivered the crude, and then I think Singapore and Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea for us.
It's really focused back on the essential nature of hydrocarbons, where the narrative has been renewables hammered at us for quite some time now.
So, do you think it's going to force a sort of like a reassessment of the sort of dreamy, you know, solar, renewable kind of, which can't fulfill the baseload?
Of energy requirements in countries.
Do you see that being revisited or that previous narrative sort of being pushed back to some reality now that fossil fuels are essential?
We've got to stick with them no matter what.
Otherwise, our standard of living falls to pieces.
You know, everything's undone.
What's your perception of that?
Yeah, I think a lot of that has already begun, at least here in the States.
And part of it was because of the rise of the data centers, you know, the big tech giants pushing data center construction.
Basically, the Trump administration threw out the window any kind of concern about climate, which was, of course, a priority under the Democrats and Joe Biden.
But the reality is, as you hinted, I want to be clear I support every form of energy abundance.
I'm pro every form of energy.
If people want to have solar or nuclear or wind or gas, whatever.
But the truth is that the green energy movement.
Was very deceptive in the fact that the battery technology simply does not exist at scale to be able to time shift green energy sources to make it power the grid.
So, you know, the sun only shines a certain number of hours per day, the wind only blows, et cetera.
You know, the hydro power depends on rainfall upstream, et cetera.
So, fossil fuels have always had this important role in providing energy to the grid.
And what I saw, especially in Western Europe, was this over the last 15 years was.
This movement to say, hey, let's end all fossil fuels, shut down all the coal, all the gas.
They were tearing down their coal plants.
I bet they wish they had them now.
And they were trying to replace that with green energy and finding out that, you know, the green energy doesn't really fulfill all the roles.
But there's something else, which is the actual hydrocarbon molecules that natural gas, you know, through the Haber Bosch process becomes ammonia, which becomes urea and nitrogenous fertilizers.
And, you know, You're probably familiar with the fact that if you're going to take nitrogen out of the atmosphere, N2, the nitrogen atoms are held together very strong bonds.
If you're going to break those bonds, you have to use intense heat and intense pressure.
A lot of energy goes into breaking those bonds.
And that energy comes from natural gas because it's cheap and abundant when everything's working correctly in the Strait of Hormuz, right?
And when Qatar energy is exporting gas, then you can break apart the nitrogen, you can combine it with hydrogen, and you can create ammonia.
And then you have cheap, abundant fertilizer that feeds 4 billion people.
In the world.
That's the chemical process that keeps half of humanity currently living, literally.
And so, without those hydrocarbons, you can't actually support a population of 8 billion people.
And we're about to find out the hard way what happens when you deprive the world of a significant portion of gas and fertilizer.
And that's going to end up causing real food scarcity, starvation, and in some countries, famine in 2027.
We also understand that as all this infrastructure in the Middle East runs down and storage limits are hit and, you know, they're switching equipment off, it's going to take a long time to crank it all back up again.
So we're looking at this sort of curve of, well, nothing plentiful, but a constricted supply of everything for longer than maybe the.
Actual problem exists, then you've got to crank it all up again.
So, looking out in time, what sort of time span do you think that is?
Is a year or two or even more?
Because that will then determine how many people are at risk, right?
Yes.
Yes.
I'm so glad you brought this up.
The long tail of this is very long, it will be multiple years.
Let me give you a specific example.
The Qatar Energy Company, when they declared force majeure, A few weeks back, they said that two of the gas trains that produce natural gas, they have 14 total, two of them have been destroyed and will take three to five years to bring back online.
Global Job Losses from AI00:10:58
Wow.
So that cuts 17% of their energy exports.
And remember that about 25% of the world's natural gas comes out of the Persian Gulf, largely from Qatar energy.
So, you know, we could do the math on that.
It's not going to end the world.
But it's going to raise prices on gas for years to come.
It's going to cause shortages, which will cause fertilizer prices to go up and shortages to increase, which will cause farmers to apply less fertilizer to their crops.
And what's important to understand about this is that there's a nonlinear response to the loss of fertilizer applications onto crops.
For example, corn is a very fertilizer intensive crop.
And if you reduce your fertilizer by 10%, You might think, well, you're going to get 10% less yield.
That's not true.
You can get 30% less yield.
It's a nonlinear response.
It's actually a shape of a curve.
We can all look up the USDA research on that, but it's not a simple formula of losing 10% and you get 10% lower yield.
When fertilizer starts to fall off, you start to get really catastrophic plunges in yields.
And this will be a global phenomenon taking place.
And what that means is that even if you can grow enough food for the world, You can't grow it at a price that everybody can afford.
And there are billions of people who are living just on the edge of food poverty right now.
Many of them in India, many of them in Bangladesh, many of them in Africa and some Middle Eastern countries, and also in like, think Ethiopia and Yemen and so on.
And heck, even Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
60% of US households are paycheck to paycheck.
Can they handle a 40% increase in their food bill?
Not without making substitutions or letting something else go, like maybe owning a home.
Good luck on that, right?
Right.
So the economics of this will have a long tail that lasts for many years to come, extending out beyond five years, actually.
Although the most intensive part of this.
Based on the current situation, it will be felt in 2027.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
You talked about the economics of, well, I'm thinking family economics, really, the cost of operating families, you know, food, all those things.
And that's with a backdrop of obviously the supply chain issues, but also there's another thing, monster, that's sort of lurking.
And you alluded to data centers just before.
And that is what happens to the earning power of people when AI.
Kind of does more and more its thing.
We've been hearing about the potential job categories threatened by that technology.
And I guess I'm maybe talking more the Western world, but that may be wrong too.
How bad is that potentially?
It's a huge factor.
And just for your audience, I am an AI developer.
I built the platform known as brightlearn.ai.
It's a free book publishing platform.
We have over 55,000 books that have been created by over 10,000 authors, and you're free to download and share them all.
And I built that engine myself, and it also translates books into Spanish and it creates full length audiobooks.
Okay.
So that just demonstrates the power of AI in the hands of one person who wants to build something.
In my case, you know, I'm all about human knowledge and sharing information.
A lot of that's like heavily censored information about natural cures, you know, about living off grid, things like that.
So I have a pretty good handle on this situation.
There's no question that AI will.
Continue to replace entry level jobs in many areas, entry level coding, entry level the legal profession.
You'll see more and more, you know, not, I'm not talking about advanced experienced attorneys, but entry level will be taken over by AI.
Customer service is already being overtaken by AI, both phone call customer service and email service, et cetera.
But we're going to see AI move into more and more roles of middle managers, which is business decision making and logistics.
And I understand this is a very hotly debated area, and some people are convinced that AI can't do anything.
Well, that's not true because I'm using it every day to do some pretty amazing things.
By the way, all the book covers on that site I mentioned, every single book cover was generated by AI, and they're pretty amazing covers.
Yep.
People love them.
And by the way, I put out political cartoons every day and infographics every day at actualnews.com.
Those are all generated by AI.
I mean, I tell them what to do.
I give them the prompt and the instructions, but then AI does the art.
I used to pay a guy hundreds of dollars.
It would take a week to get one cartoon.
Now it takes 30 seconds.
And it costs 15 cents or something.
So, yes, AI is going to be another pressure of job replacement for some portion of society, but not for the innovators, for the entrepreneurs.
They will always have a role.
And also, The farmers and the people who have mechanical skills, the plumbers, the welders, the pipe fitters, they will always have skills that are hands on, that are really critical.
But the truck drivers will be increasingly replaced.
Transportation will be more automated with each passing year.
You know, Tesla with a full self driving feature set.
They're about to roll out large semi trucks in the United States.
And it turns out that highway driving is something that can be pretty easily automated, even if the human driver takes over for the city part of it.
And, you know, and in your country, you know, the distances aren't nearly as far as they are in, let's say, Australia.
You think about Australia, the long, long highway hauls.
You know, for trucks, that is just ripe for automation.
So you're going to see full self driving highway rigs up and down the highways of Australia within just a few years.
Yeah.
Electrically powered, too, right?
Yeah, to a large degree, because the trucks can afford to carry all that battery mass with them in the trailer, you know, so they can do that.
AI from a control and surveillance point of view, I'm seeing humanoid robots now loading aircraft cargo holds, JAL.
I mean, that replaces.
That kind of manual labor.
And you mentioned entry level, but also there's the, I don't know, filtering of public speaking.
There's the tracking of people, the surveillance of people.
There's debanking.
There's all those things.
The power of AI against the people.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, that's my big concern because it is being weaponized.
We're seeing it in the US where Palantir is doing a deal with the USDA to.
Control farms or to have oversight on farms.
And I have a lot of concerns about that.
But you may recall that the company known as Anthropic had a disagreement with the Pentagon, didn't want its technology to be used for mass surveillance or for automated killing machines, you know, Skynet Terminators, that kind of thing.
And the Pentagon really attacked Anthropic over that.
Meanwhile, other companies in the US, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, They said, no problem.
You can weaponize our technology all you want.
Go for it.
They signed agreements with the Pentagon.
And the Pentagon is absolutely building both automated surveillance and targeting systems, so automated target selection, and autonomous killing machines, both drone based, flight based, but then ground drones.
It won't be too long before we have those cute dog robots that everybody shows the dancing videos.
Yeah, they're not going to be dancing, they're going to be.
Hunting down humans, whether on a battlefield somewhere else, or it may be turned against the people in some future sci fi dystopian scenario, you know, because history can unfold quickly sometimes.
So that technology will be extremely dangerous.
I am obviously completely opposed to that use of the technology.
I believe in using technology to create human abundance and to teach people how to be more human and more self reliant.
And yet we see our tech giants just moving in the direction that is anti human.
Humanity, that's an interesting one.
Here, and I'm sure you've had the same during COVID, people were very nasty to people.
It got really nasty to a very basic, kind of almost spiritual level.
Let me put it that way.
We were at each other.
Why do you think that is?
How do we get into that sort of confrontational sort of headspace?
Well, my perspective of what happened there with your government.
Is it's a reflection of the Stanford experiment, the Stanford prisoner experiment.
This is a classic experiment where I forgot the exact details, but they took a group of subjects and told half of them, You're going to play the role of prison guards.
And then the other half, You're going to play the role of prisoners.
And then play these roles.
And they even had guard uniforms for those playing the role of prison guards.
And it didn't take long before those role playing the prison guards began to abuse those who were the prisoners.
The role play, I think this has an impact on government.
When people role play into positions of power over others, Then they lose the humanity portion that they used to live, that they used to share.
It's very easy.
I think we saw this in all governments, frankly, all Western governments, even in Canada and Australia, UK, et cetera.
Through COVID, we saw the rise of a level of extreme authoritarianism where people in government suddenly realized they had incredible power to force people to do insane things like total lockdowns and you can't go to church and your child can't go to school.
Lock your child.
In their room for two weeks, you know, just craziness.
And in America, we had in public schools, we had like music students in a music class.
Each one was enclosed inside a little tent.
Decentralize and Self Reliance00:03:48
Absolutely.
Play your tuba in the tent, you know, like what is this?
This is insane.
But then don't forget about Stockholm syndrome, which is when the prisoners worship their authoritarian captors.
There's a lot of that going on too.
I want to talk about preparedness because I see the clock's always ticking.
The way I see it, there are two forms of it.
There's the psychological preparing, but also there's the physical things that you can do to, I don't know, get ahead of problems, let's say, that might arise.
What is your advice?
And I know that there's so much detail that could go into this, but generally, for people listening here in New Zealand who are starting to think, well, how do I, if I want to get rid of my cell phone, how do I do that?
If I want to learn a bit about, you know, on my patch, a bit of regenerative farming, how do I do that?
What's the mindset to have, Mike?
In my opinion, the number one most important mindset is to decentralize from needing the centralized systems of control.
Right.
And do that in every area of your life.
And, you know, it's interesting that many of the tech billionaires in the United States plan to flee to New Zealand.
Yeah.
Things get bad enough.
We've heard of the bunkers.
We've heard of the bunkers.
Right.
The bunkers.
Right.
That should be interesting to your audience to hear that.
New Zealand is a place that.
Is known for being very self reliant and very self capable, and also the level of ingenuity among New Zealanders to be able to, you know, repair the farm equipment yourself and keep on going.
That, I mean, it's legendary, at least my understanding of.
Thank you.
Yeah, we'll take that.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a valuable skill that's almost lost in today's younger generations in the United States.
But I own tractors and, you know, I live on a ranch and I've had to learn a lot of skills that.
I never imagined I would learn, like, oh, how do you change the fuel boot on a John Deere tractor built in 1976?
Well, now I know, and it's more difficult than it should be.
But 76 was a great year, by the way.
76 is one of my favorite.
76.
Yeah, yeah.
And they made good tractors in 76.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They can't turn them off automatically.
That's right.
And they're made out of steel.
I mean, I still have a 76 John Deere tractor.
I think it's like a 4230 model or whatever it is.
100 horsepower at the PTO.
And I keep it running on purpose for this very reason because I want something that will run.
And I store diesel fuel.
That's another thing.
I have a 500 gallon tank of diesel.
That'd be an essential, wouldn't it?
Store fuel in this situation.
Yes.
Sorry, jumping.
That's another one.
But always store it safely.
Have a double walled tank with the automatic ventilation, spring loaded vents, et cetera.
Don't be a fool and try to just store gas in buckets or whatever.
That's not going to go well.
Plastic bottles.
Yeah.
Yeah, right, right.
But be wise about it.
But then you don't have to go full off grid.
You don't have to be Robinson Crusoe or whatever.
I mean, just learn to grow a little bit more food, learn to sprout, learn to save, live within your means.
Don't be indebted, pay off the things that you can, have a little bit of gold and silver on the side.
The monetary system, especially in the US, we don't trust the monetary system at all, right?
I mean, the dollar is just losing value every single day and they're printing it like mad.
So, those of us in the US, at least that know about this, we're stacking gold and silver.
And other things like that.
So that's my advice.
Just decentralize and become as self reliant as you can.
Spiritual Warfare of Good vs Evil00:02:55
Okay, just to finish up, if I get the opportunity, I always try and ask this question because I think it's on a lot of people's minds.
All these problems, a lot of it doesn't make sense.
At the very essence, is this some kind of good, evil, ultimately struggle?
Do you see it like that?
Many people do.
There's a good and evil, and it's a kind of spiritual warfare element to it.
Yeah.
Got any comment to make about that?
Yeah, there's definitely that element to this.
We have, but what I notice is that, see, I think that most humans are initially just born in survival mode, you know?
And as a child, you have a very narcissistic view of the world.
And then through education and through culture and family, we learn to get along with other people and stop just demanding everything.
You know, hopefully by the time you're older than.
Seven, you're no longer just screaming, like, give me lollipops, mommy, you know.
We learn through education and culture and then maturity and experience to live well with others.
That is eroding.
I think, even at the highest level, I see our political leadership in America as reverting to the young child, the bully, the demanding child, the petulant child that says, give me everything.
I win, you lose.
I get everything.
I'm going to take your food, you know.
We are seeing that at a national level, and I'm seeing an erosion of polite society.
There's more paranoia, there's more desperation, there's more crime.
And, you know, it's probably no surprise to you that I'm armed at all times.
I live in Texas, it's perfectly legal here, but it's incredibly common.
I mean, not only am I armed, but all of my staff in my control room are all armed too.
I mean, it's just a normal thing now because crime is so bad.
And I'm friends with the sheriff, and the sheriff, Loves the fact that we're all armed.
That's become a common thing in certain areas of the United States.
It's because what used to exist in society, the level of safety and politeness and civility, is largely gone.
And I'm sad to say, I think we're looking at the decline of the American empire.
And there will be a rebirth after the collapse one day.
And this will affect every Western country to some extent.
But I don't think that the way our society is structured today is sustainable.
It's clearly not.
Wow.
All right.
Mike Adams, thank you so much for giving us some time from Texas.
Nice to know you're all sort of ready to defend yourselves because we don't have a gun, Colchie.
No, I know.
Rebirth After Empire Collapse00:01:22
I know.
It's a different thing.
But that's all kind of news to us or a different feel to us, you know.
Yeah.
And it's, you know, I think a lot of us in America, we are fans of what you have in New Zealand in many ways.
You know, there's a lot of people that have a very fond experience when they visit New Zealand.
And, um, Yet, if you come to America, pretty soon you'll want a gun.
I mean, because it's a very different world.
So, just, you know, I just say be kind to everybody and try to promote empowerment and self reliance and try to make the world a better place, you know?
That's what I do every day.
I know you do too.
And I value being on your show.
I appreciate the invitation.
Well, thank you so much, as I say, for giving us some time.
Hopefully, we can chat again sometime, Mike.
