FOIL FRIDAY: Booze, Demons, and Chinese Hackers

We have to hit the reset button and create a true culture of preparedness, starting at a very young age and filtering all the way up. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death. PBN family, what is up? I am Liberty Show. Thank you for joining me tonight. Do I have a device here? I guess I do. Demons, booze, Chinese hackers. That's where my head's at right now. I had to go for a run before the show. I was fading fast. I didn't sleep too good last night. And I don't know that I slept good the night before. And I have no reason for it, really. Quite frankly, not a damn thing. Well, here's the interesting part, okay? You know, I always tell you guys, work out every day. Well, I don't tell you guys work out every day that much, but the Prepper Fit and Health peeps. On the members' side, I tell work out every day. And also to the Prepper Fit and Health fans, the deck of pain is officially over. uploaded to youtube and will be posted either tonight or tomorrow good luck and have fun i didn't work out monday or tuesday and you know what i didn't sleep well either night it was a very low both were very low-key days well well that's not true i guess i ran around like crazy kind of on tuesday was that tuesday was that yesterday kind of like crazy on tuesday So, you know, a little run down, whatever. Had to get the blood pumping before the show. Went out, did a quick run, nothing major. I was thinking to myself, it might be a walk. Now, I had planned on doing this show on boozing. Why do I want to talk about booze? Why? Why do I want to talk about alcohol? Why do I want to bring things to light? That can make a lot of people and probably a lot of listeners very uncomfortable. It's important to talk about topics that people don't want to talk about. It's a very important thing to do if you have a voice. If you have a voice in an audience of any kind, it's very important to talk about things that are, well, you can really find out. It's pretty easy nowadays to find out the things that people don't want to have hard conversations about because the hard conversations don't exist. And I guess in this day and age, and this has nothing to do with Bud Light or Miller Light or anything like that, you know what I mean? From a marketing perspective anyway. This has everything to do with alcohol's very serious effects on a society. Which is blasphemous, I know, this day and age of 10,000 breweries nationally and 11,000 wineries nationally. Yes, look it up. It's a tremendous amount of breweries and wineries. 10,000 breweries, 11,000 wineries. Let me write something down real quick. So, Prohibition was crazy, right? That was a crazy time in the United States. I mean, I guess we could probably look up some crazy prohibition facts. And it'd be worth it. I'm not... Look, just to be clear. This is not a show coming from a teetotaler, okay? You can ask Ryan Buford. Prepper Camp 2022... He grabbed my shorts to keep me from falling into the campfire. I had had so much alcohol. Not really by design either, but I kind of fell into a hole that I wasn't planning on getting that deep into. But it's tough. You get around people you haven't seen all year. I've told this story before. I don't need to go into it. I just wanted to tell it to let you know I'm not standing on a high horse or whatever. I'm not sitting up on a high horse saying, you shouldn't drink. Drinking's for losers. But what is important is that we talk about these things. And right off the top, I mean, I think it's important for you to understand, 40% of all convictions are down to alcohol abuse, where the perpetrator was intoxicated when committing the crime. Think about that for a minute. 40% of people convicted in this nation come down to alcohol abuse where the perpetrator of the crime was intoxicated when committing the crime. This is not the craziest stat. Okay? This is not the wildest of the stats that you're going to hear tonight. I want to talk about demons too. Don't ask me why. I have no idea why. Just popped into my head. And then it started to braid together. Back in the 90s, the early 90s. My father took me to see The Dragon. The Bruce Lee story. Because I was into karate and that kind of stuff. And we went to see that movie and still to this day, it's a good movie, first of all. But still, to this day, one of the coolest and most standout parts of that movie are the metaphorical demons that Bruce fights when he's stressed and when he's freaked out. I don't ever really recall seeing anything like that in a movie that is so succinct and so, like, Well done. I don't know about the female experience, but very much to the male experience. I just... First of all, the demons were terrifying to me. When did the dragon come out? Let's see how old I was when my father took me to see that film. Anybody know? The dragon... Release date. Bruce Lee... 1993. Okay. God, 93 was such a good year for movies. I think 93 was like the year for movies. So it was just a crazy year for movies. So I would have been, uh, what? Four, seven. Really? Yeah. It'd been seven. For those of you haven't seen the movie, it happens very early on. It's one of the earliest scenes in the movie. Um, He's confronted by these samurai. These ninja. Well, they're more like samurai. Demons. You know what I mean? And they're terrifying looking. Black clad armor and stuff like that. He fights them off from time and time again throughout the movie. They tend to get stronger. They always come when he has a temper tantrum or business goes bad. It's such a good metaphor for real life. the demons that you can face in real life when things go bad, what you turn to in real life when things go bad. Because alcohol is that thing for a lot of people. Alcohol can be that thing for a lot of people. Alcohol is one of those crazy things because there are a lot of people who can drink alcohol and wake up the next day and do what they had to do. Or even people who can come home and just have a glass of wine, put the wine away, put the glass away, go on about their day. But some people, man, some people, it ruins their entire life. Everything that can be attributed to your life, ruined, ruined. That's wild, right? When you think about it, that that drastic of an effect. The other reason I wanted to talk about this is because I started, you know, gun deaths are everywhere. Like, gun deaths are the highest killer of children 19 and under. Look, that's horrible, first of all. That's horrible that kids are getting their hands on guns and shooting themselves by accident or on purpose or whatever the situation is. It's horrible that they have to put statistics all the way up to the age of 19. And I don't know what the difference would be if you parsed out 18 and 19, but that really bugs me. You know what I mean? It really bothers me. And here's why it bothers me so much. Because I couldn't do it the other way. Like, what if I wanted to say, we're going to do firearms purchases for adults 16 and over. Adults 16 and older will be able to buy firearms. Pardon me, I need to take a drink. I'm not drinking alcohol. James... The intrepid commander's getting hammered, talking down to us about booze. The hyper-focus on the one aspect of crime and murder in this nation has got me baffled, and really, quite frankly, has got me just bored. This idea that if we just took the guns away, everything would be fine. If we just took the guns away, everything would be fine, except for the fact that, are you ready? I'm going to gut punch you right now with the statistics that you won't even believe if you took all the guns away okay this is what I want you to understand 86% of homicides 60% of sexual abuse comes down to alcohol abuse right So people who are committing those types of crimes, 86% of them drunk. A staggering 86% of homicides and 60% of sexual abuse or rape cases were under the influence of alcohol. That's from AlcoRehab.org. Can you believe 86% of the homicides in the nation people are drunk? That's 4% away from 90, which is only 10% away from 100. I'm a math wizard. No, but really, I mean, that's a staggering problem. You look at the homicide situation, and if you immediately say, if you hear 86% of homicides are committed by people who are drunk, and then you immediately say, well, it's the guns, it's the guns, it's the guns. I would say, what happens if you took away the liquid courage out of those 80%? What would the percentage of homicides drop if you took away the liquid courage? Now, again, not looking to ban alcohol. Because I believe in freedom, guys. And what most people don't understand about freedom is, and the most important lesson you, well, one of the most important lessons you can learn about freedom is, You have the freedom to ruin everything. That's also part of freedom. People hear freedom because freedom is so linked to slavery in our country, right? When you hear the word freedom, you think, we were under an oppressive king, and then we were free in the revolution, right? And the African slaves were under the oppressive rule of the southern farmers, and then they were free. They had their freedom. So, you know, you get conditioned as a young person to be like, freedom means just everything good. But you are free to destroy your life. And many people do it with drugs and alcohol every single day. You have to understand, BBN family, well, this is just the reality of it. Almost my entire family, From immediate to, on both sides, has been ripped up and either shredded permanently or ripped up and battered to the point where, you know, we're still sore by drugs and alcohol. Every level on both sides of the family. And that's a lot of people, man. That's a lot of people. You know, just just in my the death toll, not booze, but the death toll that drugs is taken on my cousins is it's unbelievable. It's hard to even believe. Like I got one who's just hanging on. There's no way he's not getting out of this thing without drug related death or maybe massive violence. But a great chunk of my cousins growing up are dead from drugs. It's crazy when you really think about it. Alcohol is usually stirred in the pot, right? The difference is the things that killed them, right? Heroin. Heroin primarily. What killed them off... God, it's so many. Tommy. Ryan. Bethany, Dave. Jeez. You know, they don't happen all at once. And all these people, except for maybe Dave. I didn't hang out with Dave a lot because he was much older than me. But all of those other kids, you know, they were kids that I hung out with. They had nauseam, lived close by. Tommy I'd see not as often, but he was, we were, you know, when we had the chance to get together, it was so fun. Sleepovers. He had a pool. I remember going to his pool. It was great. And then, you know, you get a little older and you separate. You go your separate ways. When you're young and you watch them, you don't think that they're stuck. You don't realize that they're so deeply entrenched. You start to think, like, oh, maybe she'll come out of it. I don't know. But you still see the person, you know. Whether it's drugs or alcohol, addiction, it's a life of many, many, many, many deaths. And it's the same with alcohol. It really is. When you really are dealing with someone who is totally hooked and alcoholic through and through, you go through many deaths. And it's dark, man. It's a dark thing. Especially if you're very close to that person. You know, you watch them die in many different ways. You trim them away from your life. I can't go and see them at this time, and I can't, you know, and this, and I get a phone call from them at this hour, then they're probably hammered. I can't take that call. It really truly is the petite mort. I mean, it's really the petite mort, okay? So he talked about you have the idea of suicide. You have the idea of homicide, rape. I'm sorry, the idea of homicide and the idea of sexual abuse and rape. 86%, 60%, right? Now we know that the majority of those gun deaths in the United States of America are attributed to suicide and not crazy right-wing compatriots running around shooting and killing liberals. Not white supremacist murder via AR-15. We know that a large chunk of those deaths come by handgun and they come through suicide. Alcohol intoxication is involved in 22% of all suicide deaths. Almost a quarter. Almost a quarter. A diagnosis of alcohol misuse or dependence is associated with a suicide risk that is 10 times greater than those in the general pop. Ten times. But you sure will dance when you get drunk. I'll tell you that much. See, PBN family, the reason I'm struggling with this is because it's hard to do a show like this. It's hard to say these things out loud and not sound like somebody who's going to say at the end of the show, hey, we need to ban alcohol. I'm not a big band guy. You know what I mean? I'm not a big fan of band. I say that up until a point. You know, when you're talking about people's rights rubbing up against your rights. When you talk about people becoming a clear and present danger to the people around them. 10,000 people are involved in road collisions due to alcohol every year. Seems low to me, actually. Seems like kind of a low number. I'm not going to lie. So what is it with the booze? Is it people? I mean, I've watched it. I've watched the type of people it takes. It also took a cousin of mine, my mother, my father for a short time. Well, a long time, not a short time. But I was not around for a lot of my father's dependency. And then there was like a meager dependency. And then it's a petite mort, like I told you. The people that I know who really suffered from the boozing, they brought demons to the table, right? In other words, it wasn't hard to look at them and to listen to them and to understand this is what we're trying to drown here. We're doing our best to drown these things. And I guess no matter who you are, you drown your demons in one thing or another, right? You understand what I'm trying to tell you? And that's just what it is. So in doing all that and talking about all that, when I was out running, I started thinking about demons. Demons in general. I started thinking about Maimon. Maimon. Maimon. There's like a whole index of these demons. Belphegor, the demon of sloth. Belphegor is a prince of hell who is always looking for the easy way out. He's the demon prince of sloth for a valid reason. Rather than get his hands dirty, he prefers to sit back and finds ways to have it done for him. Some of these things are really silly. Asmodeus, the demon of lust. This is the craziest one. This guy is covered in fur like a werewolf. He looks almost like a werewolf in the face, and he's got a cow head, a black cow head, and a white goat head on either side of his head. You know, I'm not... I told you that I'm not necessarily convinced that there aren't demons about in this world. I'm not entirely convinced. The way things have been going, what I've been watching. Just the other day I saw that Target had a trans or gay, queer, whatever, company that's selling clothes in their store that is also part of an occult. Who is that? We've got to find that out. Let's talk about that for a minute. I'd like to see which kind of demons they worshipped. We are going to talk about the Chinese hackers. I think that's pretty cool. Look, let's do some commercials. I'll come back. We'll talk about that. We'll get into the Microsoft warning. So Microsoft came out today and warned that China hackers attack U.S. infrastructure. This is the war. Make no mistake about it. I hope you listen to Monday's show. We'll be right back. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. PBN family, I'm going to get you right back to your favorite host.

You got to understand, I grew up listening to your song on Crybaby, so don't get mad. It was not even 20 seconds. I needed a bump real quick. I need a bumper. On the way back into the show, okay? Target customers. Let's get into some meat. You heard me blabber on about alcohol. I don't know what point I was trying to make. It's bad, okay? It's a bad thing in the society. I don't know what to tell you. You have fun with it. Things happen. Things happen like 86% of homicides, people are drunk. I mean, you can't walk away from a stat like that. You can't. You can't just wash your hands of a statistic like that, 60% of rapes or sexual abuse, right? You can't. We have to pick a stat like that up and look at it. You've got to look at it hard. You've got to spin it around, move it around like a Rubik's Cube. You've got to figure out what's going on there. That's a thing. You know what I mean? If we're going to hyper-focus on firearms, then we've got to have the conversation about everything, right? Target customer shocked. After company features pride items. Pride items. By Satanist partner. Devil is hope and love. Satan loves you and respects who you are. Target pride partner social media post reads. Satan loves you and respects who you are. That's so sweet. How do you type shit like this out and hit enter? Target has found itself in hot water again. I'm only interested in the brand. The major retailer partnered with the UK-based brand Abprelin. Sounds like an antidepressant. A-B-P-R-A-L-L-E-N. Sounds like an antidepressant or a demon in and of itself. To sell merchandise with LGB messages to celebrate Pride Month. I hope you guys are all ready for Pride Month. You know, we're just days away. A search on Target's website finds some of the items listed. A search on, while the company was already under a microscope for its tuck-friendly swimsuits. Yeah, you didn't hear about that. You didn't hear about tuck-friendly swimsuits, you know? So you can, I can wear a two-piece bathing suit and it'll look like, well, it would look the same anyway, whether I tuck it or not. Anyhow, so let's look at this company. I don't know what they, I have no idea what this company sells. I'm just going off the idea of what's what. But I can tell you right now, there's definitely a... It's weird because you take a terrifying message and you put it on colorful pins. That's what I'm looking at right now. I'd like to see the story of the creator. Oh, well. The guy looks like a Post Malone light. Independent LGB fashion and accessories designed in London. And my man looks like... I don't know, to be quite honest with you. Simultaneously Unabomber-esque and... Yeah, I don't know. My name is Eric. And Ab Prelin is my passion, my outlet, my work. I named it Abbrellen after the German translation of my favorite word, ricochet. Oh, Germany. tied to it. German. Hmm. Well, see what else. We were all ever-changing, moving, bounding from one state or place to another. I was born in London, where I currently live, and where Abperellin lives, too. But my work has been sent and rehomed to many different countries. As a gay trans man, it can be hard to find a place in the world that suits you, so I carved out my own and learned just how many people out there are like me. A lot of my art is pastel color. I find the extremely enjoyable palette to work with. It's comforting that it's something we could use more of. There's nothing in my story about how I fell in love with the devil. How did that happen? That's the most interesting thing about you. Why wouldn't you include that some point in your life you got to the to the to a point where you decided that i'm not only going to make clothing that reflects my gender and sexuality and all that and and tells a story that you know other people like me can i guess understand and appreciate but then you got to a point where you decided that the devil should be involved right Homophobia is not a form of masculinity. Satan respects pronouns. I'm buying it. Oh man, I gotta buy it. It's too good. This dude is wearing a t-shirt. Or, I don't know. He's got a t-shirt on and nothing else. Okay, don't go to abprellin.co.uk. I have a feeling you're gonna run into... This is a nightmare photograph I'm looking at here. My man's got a... Homophobia is not a form of masculinity. T-shirt on with a skeleton on it. And that's all. That's all. And now, I'll be up all night again. The Adventures of the Gender. What's this one? We got a red-headed girl. And she's modeling a t-shirt, but her high-waisted skirt is so high that it covers half the t-shirt. I can't even tell what's on it. I can tell you this much. It's sold out. Oh, Satan Respects Pronouns t-shirt is also sold out. This is a fantastic t-shirt right here. This... The guy wearing it could have been me in high school, though, I'm going to be honest with you. If I had the money for tattoos and parents, they would have let me got him. It's, you know, it's Satan in sort of the goat form. And on his forehead, rather than like a 666... He's got, you know, the female gender symbol, the male gender symbol, and then I guess this is the male and female gender symbol. And then there are crystals, for some reason, behind him and us beside him. And they're like Superman's. They remind me of like the crystals from the Fortress of Solitude. And then it says Satan respects pronouns. That's T-shirt of the year right there. I love that. I've been thinking a lot lately about the Satanic Temple. Satan loves you and respects who you are. You're important and valuable in this world, and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect. I don't need Satan for that. I've been thinking a lot lately about the Satanic Temple, says our man. Actually, our woman. And to a lesser extent, the Church of Satan. How they're so frequently misunderstood and demonized. He used the word demonized. Pun not intended. And how LGB people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God's will. Satanists don't actually believe in Satan. Of course they don't. Of course they don't. Right? Anybody would understand that. That's very simple to understand. Satanists don't actually believe in Satan. He's merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. Liberty. Liberty. How dare you? What's this guy's name? Girl's name? What's the name on this one? Hector? What's his name? Did he say his name? She? What do you say? Eric. Eric, how dare you, my man? Don't be throwing around the word liberty like that. That actually means what it is. You know, you can't just go around and say, Say things like, you know, Satan is a fan of liberty. That's why he wants your soul. I want your blood. And I want your soul, too. Now I lost a t-shirt. Eric, what you done to me? I was really enjoying that. This guy wrote about a thousand words almost here on what it took to put this t-shirt together with Satan. Satanists don't actually believe in Satan. Well, Christians believe in Christ, so I don't know. I'm very confused about Satanists. Don't believe. He means to you what you need him to mean. I love that. That's my favorite Satanist thing, isn't it? What is Satanism? Well, it's really whatever you want it to be. Oh, okay. What is Satanism? Well, he means what you need him to mean. Okay, what you're talking about is nothing. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love. I mean, what else could it be? It's perfect. So naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGP people. What did I say? LGP? The Church of Satan openly accepts LGP people. It has done since it was created in the 60s, and the more recent Satanic Temple accepts them too with open arms. Man, this is phenomenal. I am so sad that this thing is sold out. Who's creeping up on me? What's wrong? Huh? Oh, here, take this. No, don't come back. I've always loved the juxtaposition of creepy, quote-unquote, or weird things being presented as soft or cute. And personally, I think that Baphomet, a mystical deity, looks very charming in their pastel colors. Baphomet themselves... Is a mixture of genders. Beings, ideas, and existences. They hardly fit into binary. I'm so glad. That we took this little. Diversion into. Abrapellan. Abparellan. Could you choose an easier name? For your. Oh badges. Let's see what badges. A gayer world is possible. Are you homosexual too? That's the pin. I could get me one of these pins. Ask me about my gay cult. That's pretty good. Biconic. Bisexually frustrated. Imagine that. You can have anything walking around the planet you can have and you're still not getting a job done. That says a lot about you. I'm going to tell you that much. Destroy the system. Don't die wondering. What does that mean? Dead names stay dead. See, that's what it is. It's like, these are all fun and games, and then some of them are like, they get a little weird, right? They get a little violent. Gay and sober. Drag never hurt no one. Gay whales against racism. Oh, my. And so, why I'm going so deep into this thing is because somebody at Target, like, this didn't just happen. Like, Target's such a huge... company. They didn't just say, let's get us one of these trans people's businesses. Give me a hat. We're going to take some names, put them on paper. I'll just pull a name out of the hat, and we'll go from there, okay? Yeah, we'll just go from there. So just pull one of these, oh, this one, this company where everything's in pastel, let's go with them. Well, what do their products look like? Oh, they're great. Don't worry about it. I don't even know what this one means. It says, do shots with me. And it shows a couple of needles, a vial. I don't even know what that means. Burned. Oh, here's a great. Here's one of those ones that are like just casually violent. It says burn down the system, not S-Y-S, but C-I-S, right? Like cisgender. Burn down the system. They want to burn you down. Don't you understand? This is the fundamental issue people are starting to have with all this. It's totally one thing to be like, I'm gay. Cool. How often does that come up? Not a lot, right? That's one thing. You do your thing. You do your thing. But it's a totally different thing when you go, I'm gay and we need to burn down the system. We need to get rid of these cisgender people. Like, we need everybody to be gay or bi or something. Everybody needs one of these letters. This is the thing that people hate. You know what I mean? But I get, I don't know. Who knows? Gender outlaw. These are prints now. I'm looking at prints. I like when girls sing about girls. I like when boys sing about boys. Yeah, it's really weird. Here's one that is just completely pointless. There's a sword going through a skull's eye. This is all in pastel and drawn out. And the artwork isn't bad. Lesbians are not the enemy. That's what it says. For some reason, this one's on sale. I don't know. I think that kind of goes, anybody waking up in the morning, like the lesbians are my enemy. They're the ones, oh look, they do have a little Satan respects pronouns print. Okay, let's move on. So, I mean, but the whole thing here that you have to understand is that somebody was like, this is the company we want to do business with. You know what I mean? This is who we want to do business with. We want to do business with the Satan respects pronouns guy. Witches and wizards love trans people. Heteronormative plague. This is what I mean. Heteronormativity. Nobody's picking that word up. You sound drunk when you say a word like that. Heteronormativity is a plague. And there's a plague doctor there with this fortress of solitude crystals and a rose with an eyeball in it. Heteronormativity is a plague. Fight for trans rights with two axes. That's a good one. That's one of those like, we're not violent, but just under the surface, we might have axes with hearts on them. Sorry, you're cis. Get well soon. Isn't this what you want when your kid comes home from school and pulls the backpack out in the folder? And you put stickers on the folder. Oh, here's a great one. The moon is a lesbian. Let's end on that one. I don't know. I mean, my man's got some good ones. But I'd say that really the best thing we can end with right now is the moon is a lesbian. Let's move on. Let's just keep, let's keep keeping on. You want to do some preppers in the news? I got a cool preppers in the news tonight. Let's do it. Tonight, preppers in the news. Josh Duhamel reveals, this is just hours ago. Josh Duhamel reveals he's a doomsday prepper. and has a compound for when, quote, things go south. Written by Stacey Ritson. I don't know who this guy is. I never watched a trans... Well, I do know who this guy is in the geekiest way you can, and I'll explain that in a minute. But he's a movie star, and I guess he was very popular in the Transformers series, which I've never seen a single Transformers movie. How I know Josh... is because he played Two-Face. He voiced Two-Face in the Batman animated adventure movie, The Long Halloween, which is definitely worth watching if you're a Batman fan. It came out, I think, two years ago now. But he voiced Two-Face. He did a great job. Not an easy character to voice. So Josh, the movie star, isn't taking a chance, and the voice actor, isn't taking a chance with the impending apocalypse. Why do people come out and just say this stuff? You know why they come out and say this stuff? Because they're compelled to share it, just like we all are. They're compelled to say, hey, things might not go as planned. You may want to do some stuff. The 50-year-old actor revealed that he has a property in North Dakota. I hope you got trees, my man. Which started out as an off-grid cabin with no electricity or running water, but has now transformed into an entire doomsday compound. So I guess what Josh has is a bug-out location. And if it comes down to it, Duhamel, I don't know how to pronounce his name, says he and his family can even live off the land indefinitely if needed. I will say this up front. I read a little bit into this article. I didn't read it all. You know, it's a double-edged sword, right? You don't want to read the whole article when you do a Preppers in the News because you want to be like, oh! But you want to read a little bit of it because you can get halfway through an article and be like, oh, this is not what I thought it was going to be. It started as a little clam in the woods with no electricity, no water. Initially, it was so disgusting and overrun with mice that they didn't want to stay more than a day. The family, he means. He has since renovated both cabins and a total of three now exist on the property. Each have their own well treated by custom reverse osmosis water filtration system. The property even has TV and internet thanks to Starlink. He's also begun planting crops, starting with clover and chicory to feed the deer. It's called a food plot, he says. My idea is that I want to be able to hunt a deer. So, I'm not going to make drastic assumptions about our man, but when someone says my idea is that I want to be able to hunt a deer... That lets me know you don't know how to hunt. Oh, and in the next sentence he goes on to say, I'm not a hunter by any means, but I have this crazy fixation on what happens if shit hits the fan in L.A. I've got an interesting phone call to have either later today or tomorrow by someone who reached out to me from SoCal. And it's a little early on to make assumptions, but Sometimes when I have conversations with people, when I meet people, I can feel a little bit of a spark starting. And that spark leads to a podcast. It's too early to say anything like that. But all I can say is, I'm feeling sparks. I've become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess, he added. So I'm learning how to hunt. I have wells, we have water, we have fuel. I'm building something so if things do go south, I have a place to take my family. And I believe that we could live off the land out there. I'm not very good at it yet, but I'm getting there. This stuff is the most fascinating to me. I just love it. I used to love being in Josh's position. You know what I mean? Josh is clearly at that point in prepping where he's way overestimating his capabilities. I feel like I should reach out to him. And do a little consult. And really sort of get him face to face with reality. It would help. It helps when you have those come to Jesus moments. You know one of my biggest reality checks of all time was Dave. This was such an important. I should post. I'm going to post this right now on the members side. I'm going to post it all in Element actually. Dave Canterbury's real world survivor. I forget what event he was at. But it was a real-world Survivor clip on YouTube. It's still up there. And it's so good. I don't believe all of it. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not into all of it, everything that he says. It is the only reason that I started blacksmithing. I mean, really. It's like the reason I started rudimentary blacksmithing was listening to this. The whole thing is good. The whole thing is such a good presentation of a guy who's really thought this stuff through and has figured out what his plan is, but also knows what works because he's done it. And that's a big deal. I just dropped it in the element for anybody who wants to watch. I may watch it after this. It's time for a reminder. Where were we? Preppers in the news? Spy and survival playing card? Let's talk about these. Yeah, we haven't in a long time done a Liberty Review. So why not, right? Why not? Because I just realized if you're not a member, you're not even going to see these things. But in doing our deck of pain, I used a... A deck of cards, a special deck of cards from a former CIA officer, Jason Hansen, okay? They're called Spy and Survival Playing Cards, and you can buy them at spybriefinggear.com. I didn't get paid to talk about them or anything like that. They just sent me a free deck of cards. And because we've been doing this deck of pain stuff over on the fitness side, which is really fun and simple and everybody should know about it and do it. So come join the members side, use the promo code prepare, and you'll get $ 10 off all through Memorial day. Okay. So if you've been wanting to become a member, now's the time. Now is the time promo code prepare on a one year annual membership. You get $ 10 off. That's $ 50 for the year. Okay. I just, I'm almost getting tired of talking about it, so I'm done with that. I don't need to sell it anymore. But these are really cool, man. It's a traditional deck of 52 cards, and every single card has some advice from Jason. It's advice that comes direct from a former CIA officer. And it's really cool stuff, like how to do route analysis like a spy. That's on the Five of Diamonds. A spy's riverboat gambler gun. That's the Eight of Spades. Why to own an AK-47? Three of Hearts. Spies and babies. Queen of Spades. This is a really interesting one. I read that already. Great cover. If you want to have no one suspect you whatsoever, be a lady with a baby. The spy briefcase that blows up. I don't know what that is. The trick to surviving airport shakedown. Why things need to blow up sometimes. I read some of these already. I can't believe I keep pulling those. How spies do secret meetings. The number one reason people spy for the United States. Oh, that's a good one. Why spies pay attention to tires. All that kind of stuff. And it's not a one-word answer. These things are... You can know. Probably a couple hundred words. I don't know if you understand what that is because you're not a writer. I'd say they're about two to three paragraphs. At least two paragraphs on each card. So I don't know. The spy and survival briefing playing cards, they might be just the thing for you. They might be something you never would want in a million years. I don't know. If you're listening to me describe these things and you like them, spybriefinggear.com. There's a bunch of other cool stuff up there, too, if you're sort of the spy type. I know some of you out there are really into that stuff. So, yeah, that's my Liberty Review. I got a bore sight that I got to talk about on the Liberty Review. You guys, this thing is... I'm a big fan of the bore sight, first of all. You know, the laser bore sight for sighting in your rifles and stuff. I really like it. I really... Think that for people particularly who are in an urban and suburban environment, it's such a great way to make sure you're on the money before you hit the range. Because if you live on any kind of a budget anymore, you know that going to the range is rough. And this thing gives you the ability to at least do preliminary tweaks on scopes and things like that before you head out. It makes a huge difference. Really cool, really effective. Works on every single caliber. You'll see. I'll talk about it. I should do a video on it actually for you guys. I know, it's pretty cool. What else do I have on the to-do list here? Make sure I got everything. I didn't have a whole ton. We do need to talk about the Chinese hackers. I have Lady Lilith in front of me, which is one of the most amazing paintings of all time. I mean, it really is. Because Lilith apparently is a Judaic demon. I didn't even know this until now. Lilith is... Is it Lady Lilith? What is it? Is a painting by my favorite poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Look it up. It's stunning. It's unbelievable. If you pay close attention to what is around Lilith in the photograph... Maybe we'll talk about it, but let's do this Chinese hacking article because this is the way. Microsoft warns that China hackers attacked U.S. infrastructure three hours ago. Chinese state-sponsored hackers have compromised critical infrastructure in a variety of industries, including government communications organizations. The hacking group codenamed Volt Typhoons has been in operation since 2021. On Wednesday, the Chinese state-sponsored hackers had compromised quote-unquote critical U.S. cyber infrastructure across numerous industries with a focus on gathering intelligence. Isn't it weird that these things can just happen and we just go like, aw, those bad Chinese state-sponsored hackers. What the freak? Oh, well, let me just go on about my day. Critical communications infrastructure between the United States and Asia. Microsoft said, to stymie efforts during future crises. So you know what that is, right? If that's the truth, they're trying to disrupt communications into Asia so that we can't communicate with Taiwan or around Taiwan during that siege, right? The National Security Agency put out a bulletin on Wednesday detailing how the hack works and how cybersecurity teams can respond to it. I want to know so bad what the United States hackers are doing. The threat actor intends to perform espionage and maintain access without being detected for as long as possible. For years, China's conducted aggressive cyber operations to steal intellectual property and sensitive data from the organizations around the globe, says CISA director Jen Easterly. Yeah, why do they do that, you think? What? Why do they do that? They do that because nobody says, hey, if you do that again, we're going to fly some planes over top of your nation and drop some things, okay? So let's chill out. The hacking war is upon us. We'll look back on this HPBN family and say, like, they were fighting a war all along. Should we talk about Lilith? Close out the show? Shed them. Shaddam is not a single demon, but rather the name given to a group of evil spirits. It's often used to describe other deities. The favorite three are that they are the spiritual embodiment of other gods. Given that Judaism is a monotheistic religion, any god other than God is viewed as an evil spirit. Mazikin. Oh my god. Abizo. Abizo. That girl's terrifying. Jewish abomination regarded as a demon of miscarriage. The Hindu demons are terrifying, too, and they wear no clothes. The Hindu demons are like, forget about clothes. The Japanese demons are the most creepy. Shuten Doji. Unlike many demons who live on and on, temporarily vanquished, only to rise up again, Shuten Doji is a demon from yesteryear who finally met his match. However, before his demise, Shuten Doji... Was a giant of a demon. Standing around 50 feet tall. With horns covering his head. And 15 eyes. This picture does not. Represent him very well. Yuki Onna. Yama Waba. Yeah these are terrifying. The kappa is the most terrifying. Because he has a person upside down. And he's ripping something out of his butt. I'm not joking. Until now the types of. Imagine the creature of the Black Lagoon, and you have an image of the Kappa already. Humanoid frog creature with webbed hands. They attack people in the water trying to steal the mythical Shirikodama organ. Oh, so they're pulling an organ out from this guy's butt. Great. Wonderful. The Kappa believe this organ can be found in the anus of their victims. It's interesting to note that in all my research, it never says the Kappa kill their victims before extraction. Instead, it says they assault them. Hmm. Sounds like a likely story. Oh, my God. Kuchisaki Ona, the slit-mouthed woman. That's terrifying right there. All right, let's talk about Lady Lilith. The Philippines demons have no clothes on either, I guess. Many of you might know this, especially if you're religious. I wasn't reared on the Bible, so some of this stuff is new to me, but before Adam met Eve, He already had a girl named Lilith. You know that? I didn't know that. Lilith was a modern woman. She said, screw you, Adam. You don't make enough scratch. I'm out of the Garden of Eden. This Garden of Eden ain't good enough for me. She didn't want to submit to Adam. The Lilith story is crazy that I've never heard of it because it's like, it's everything wrong with sort of the modern feminist movement, right? She refused to be subservient to Adam and left both him and the Garden of Eden. It's so like, you know, 80% of women initiate divorce. Do you know that? And oftentimes women who make more than men are some massive percentage worth, I'm sorry, some massive percentage more likely to leave if they make more money than their husband. It's a big stat. It's a whole other show, but there's some big stats in the marriage game right now with the ever-changing culture. So she refused to submit to Adam and left him in the Garden of Eden. Your garden ain't good enough. Obviously, when talking about events that transpired at the very dawn... Okay, this is the writer's writing. She wound up, like, sleeping with an archangel. And their offspring are considered incubi and succubi demons. So, incubus and succubus demons. Samuel would later be kicked from heaven and becomes known as a demon king, like Piccolo. Lilith is known as a night monster... She's always depicted as a very feminine figure, usually an attractive, naked, red-headed woman placed in a provocative pose. See, all of that I had no idea. And if you look up the Lilith painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, it's a flowing red-haired woman in a nice white dress. And she's staring at herself in a mirror. And I always thought, early on, I thought it was like vanity. Like, I was like, okay, look, she's like a femme fatale and she's very vain. Actually, you know what? I didn't put the femme fatale part into my head on my own. But I thought she was like, you know, like the type of woman you have to deal with who's very vain and all that kind of fun that goes along with that, right? And then when I went to see the actual painting, the Lilith of the Ridge, right, like the I'm down on my knees freaking out. This is the Dante Gabriel Rosetti painting. It actually is in Delaware. You can go see it in the Delaware Museum of Fine Arts or something like that. I don't know exactly what it's called. And you can go see the little... You can go stand before it, which is a big deal to me. And I seen a bunch of stuff. The lady took me on a little Dante tour and talked to me about all his paintings. And strewn throughout the painting are all these... Different ways of killing someone. Right? Like Foxglove. For those of you who are into the edibles and wild edibles. Foxglove is in the... What? Sorry, I'm trying to bring up the painting so I can remind myself of everything in it. I need the original. They also cut... They like redid the face on Lady Lilith. The poppy is in the photograph. She's got a scarlet sort of thing wrapped around her wrist. It's a very interesting painting, and I had no idea that she was the original femme fatale. I had no idea that she was like a literal demon woman. PBN family booze, demons, Chinese hackers, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Don't get me started on that guy. I hope you enjoyed the show. It was an interesting one. I'm sorry I kind of came out of the gate slow. Sluggish. I don't know what it is. A little sluggish these last couple days. You know, the other thing, I've been fasting, too. I've been fasting till noon. And usually I would fast till 9, but I started fasting till noon. And I don't know if that's affecting me. I might not be eating enough yet. Something's up. When you have kids, you never know what you're getting brought home. You know what I mean? So you never know really what's going on in your body. But I know one thing. Intrepid Commander's a little tired out. Probably lack of sleep. I'm good at that. I'm really good at lack of sleep. I've spent my entire life basically sleep deprived. Seriously. Seriously. My whole childhood, I could never fall asleep at night. Terrified. If you own Darker Trails, my latest book, which I never talk about. I'm such a bad book marketer. The whole intro to the book Darker Trails is all about terrifying, growing up terrified as a kid. And all the monsters and things that lurked in the dark corners of my bedroom. And it just carried on. I got used to it, you know? And now I wake up at everything. Boom. I'm up. Bang. I wake up. I hear a click. I wake up. I... I wake up at least once a night and get out of the bed and go take a pee. Every night. Like I'm 70 with a prostate problem. Every night. It's so wild. I don't know. So that's probably all it is. Don't worry. I'm telling you all this so you don't worry. There's nothing to worry about. It's just a state of affairs. It's a short period of time. Probably all comes down to not having worked out. You know, if you try to be a writer slash podcaster, which requires a lot of sit, You try to do a lot of sit time, and then you expect to go up in your bed and fall asleep, and you realize, I didn't move enough today. There's no way I moved enough today. Yeah, you'll have trouble falling asleep. If you kill yourself with physical fitness, you'll see a difference. You'll see an exquisite difference. You'll fall asleep almost instantly and sleep soundly. It's magic. So get in shape, PBN family. Do yourself a favor. If you need a little help, come join the membership side. Promo code PREPARE.
