Herbal Medicine for Preppers: America's 250 and lessons learned from COVID

The don don to the clean Clean into the. Hey all, welcome this week's show. I hope everybody had a wonderful Independence Day. Oftentimes my show has landed on Independence Day, So if you want to go back and listen to some of those talk about you know, history and you know my own connections. I had several ancestors have fought in the Revolution and one was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, And you know, it's very important holiday for me. You know, when it comes to secular holidays, Memorial Day is obviously extremely meaningful. I mean, you know, I've done almost so I guess what, three hundred or so of these podcasts, so when I do one a week. So when I started out, it was not a good time for our country. We were right in the middle of COVID and Biden was in office and they were essentially taking everybody that wasn't that dared question the narrative I put it that way. Off of social media, I was banned from YouTube, I was banned from Facebook. I was banned from Twitter at that point before Musk bought it and I was able to come back on. I'm still banned from Facebook. I mean this many years later, I'm still banned from Facebook. I remember that one in particular because I had just spoken with mister Haslin and a D Day veteran who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and I mean I barely got it was my first show, and maybe it was my second. No, I'm sorry, it was my second show. And here I am sitting on the porch trying to do a podcast, and oh man, I barely got through that one. I mean, the stories he told, the things he went through. He was in his nineties at the time. He passed away before I got before the next year came around. You know, I thought maybe it would be good to interview him, and I probably should have, but you know, toward the very end there, it was better that I talked with him and recounted what he said. What a great great man, what you know. So things like that will always stand out in my memory to doing this podcast. Even this is I don't know if y'all remember what it was like during that period of time. We were being canceled everywhere. I mean, I was literally kicked off of Facebook for saying that the COVID virus probably came from a bioweapons lab. Now the. FBI said that's what it is, and everybody agrees to it. I said it. You know, I was literally kicked off of YouTube for making fun of doctor Fauci. You know, I compared him to Yogurt on Spaceballs. Now it turns out he was a liar and a fraud and a very very very evil man. Yeah, he totally covered up the bioweapons labs, the gain of origin. He's a very bad man. But at that time, I remember talking about mister Haslip and saying, did he fight for this? I don't think so. And you know, when I said those words, I thought, that's probably the end of this podcast. I will put that out there, and I'm not you know, I can't censor myself. I believe this to be true, that the men who fought for our freedoms did not fight for that for us to be censored in and taken down and canceled and our freedoms restricted with the lock ins and the mask mandates and all that. Again, I mean, hopefully this podcast will stay for posterity and the next generation can listen to it and imagine a day when I pull up to a liquor store, I mean, just a rigorlar ABC store in North Carolina. And I can't put on a mask. I can't put on a face mask. I have severe inherited asthma, and I actually, you know I have well technically I have a disability. I don't consider it that, but the doctor said, you know I have, I, you know, a seventy percent disability if I wanted to claim it, well, no, I take herbs and I exercise and I keep myself healthy. But when I was a kid, they have me on asthma medication that is essentially the precursors for crystal meth, and the asthma medication itself gave me a heart attack. So I actually have the kind of medical history that under the Citizens with Disabilities Act allowed me not to wear a face mask. I couldn't do it. You know, even just the slight restriction of breath kind of sets off almost a panic response that causes me to have an asthma tack and it could be deadly if I don't have what I need on hand, you know, and I do I keep put on on a hand. I'm not complaining. I'm not you know, trying to say, you know, poor pity me or whatever. But I could not wear a mask. No, impossible. So I walk into a public, state owned facility in North Carolina, the ABC stores are state owned and regulated, where they had absolutely no right to tell me to put on a mask. And I said, you know, walking the door, lady says, you can't come in here without wearing a mask. I said, I have a disability, and under the Hip Act, you can't even ask me about it. Not only can you not demand that I wear a mask, you don't even have the right to ask me about it. And she said, I will call the police if you come in here without a mask. And I basically said blank. You walked over, picked up the bottle of bourbon, slapped the money down on the counter, and walked out. And literally, if she had called the police, they probably would have arrested me. I mean, that's how crazy things had gotten. And when we think about it, we know those masks didn't work. I mean I remember making the point at the time. A lady said this on the somewhere and I repeated it. I said, if your pants don't hold in your farts, a mask was not going to filter out a microscopic virus. A cloth mask and she's saying put on a cloth mask, or you can't come into this store. Yeah, I mean I was fed up and I just you know, told them what I thought, and then filed a Citizens of a Disability complaint against the store owner. And because it was a Biden minute, it wasn't even here heard it was dismissed. That's a violation of federal law. That's a violation of the Hippo Act. That's a violation Citizens with Disability Act as a citizen, violation of the Civil Rights Act against you know, people with disabilities. I mean, seriously, but that's the environment we were in. And I remember thinking to myself just by saying that Vernon Haslip, who was nineteen years old, stormed the beaches of Normandy, got out of the boat into the water. The water was up to his I think his chin. He said. When he got out, ice cold, heavy currents. They're under fire. His best friend's right beside him. His best friend calls out to him. He thinks he's drowning. He reached over and grabbed him, and the man was literally cut in half by machine gun fire. He said goodbye to his friend, charged forward and saved America literally. And I remember thinking to myself by saying this, I'm probably going to be canceled from all social media and this podcast is never going anywhere. That's how bad things were. By saying I don't think mister Haslip fought for this. I don't think that what fifty some thousand young men that died on that one day died for this. You know, it's just incredible. I think about how bad things were, and here we are celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States. It's still an incredibly young nation. Do you realize that? I mean, we think about how long England has stood. England has not been England for that long, compared to how long the Catholic Church has stood. You know, my ancestors in the House of Wessex just got the whole monarchy in England going about a thousand years ago. Catholic Church has been around for two thousand years. And put things in perspective, the first Christians didn't have a Bible for nearly four hundred years, so for nearly twice as long as America has been a nation, there was no Bible in Christianity. Of course before that, I mean they had the Hebrew scriptures the Old Testament, as we would call it now. The Gospels had been written in actually several different languages. One author wrote in Greek and other Latin. You know that kind of thing. You had the epistles. If you were in the Church in Corinth, you did not have the Epistle to the Church in. Gosh. I don't know name another one of the Miles of Saint Paul. You didn't have it. Revelations had really not been published. It was only written in about eighty a d. It wasn't until they had three church councils to decide which books of the Old Testament would go into the Bible, and then which what we would now consider contemporary writings. I mean, you know, they were literally saying, okay, we'll take you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and we're going to take the Acts, which is essentially a historical book. We're going to take these Epistles. There are many other letters written to other churches, and they said, well, we think these are essential. We're going to not worry about the others. There were fake books that had been written and published by that time. A lot of the Gnostics. If you go back to the Acts when Simon the Sireene, not Simon the Sirens, Simon the Magician. Sorry, When Simon the Magician tries to buy the Holy Spirit from Saint Peter, Saint Peter basically almost struck him dead. If you if you read about continueing the acts anyone who I mean, Saint Peter could literally strike people dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. When this couple uh sold a piece of land and promised us the money to the church and then kind of renigged and you know, only gave a poor part of the money and went in lied. They were struck dead by the power of the Holy Spirit through Saint Peter. So Simon the Magician begged Saint Peter to let him go. And apparently after that, according to the early Christian historians and actually secular writings as well, Simon the Magician founded his own religion and called himself the Messiah and essentially counterfeited the Gospels showing making himself out to be the Messiah, not Jesus. And that's where gnosticism, the heresy of narcissism began, and they counterfeited like fake biographies of the life of Jesus' fake gospels. That's attributed to the Apostles, and we're talking about one hundred AD. I mean we're really you know, thirty three was say forty to seventy a d. You had fake versions of the Gospels and such going around, and so over the next three hundred years there were church councils where they decided which books the Bible were real and could they prove them where they you know, if the Gospel of Matthew, who to whom was it dictated? Okay? He wrote it down to whom was it given? Okay? And that person could vouch for that person? Who could vouch for that person? I mean they had to go through an extensitive process to make sure that even the Gospels themselves were authentic. And you know, that's what the Church did. And anyone's who says that the Bible alone, you can have Christianity without the Bible, well what do you say for the first four hundred years of Christianity And they say you can have the Christianity about the Church, Well, without the Church, you'd have no Bible. The Church gave you that Bible, not only wrote it, but authorized the books, and then commissioned Saint Jerome to translate everything into Latin. It was a mixture of books written in Hebrew in Aramaic. Jesus spoke Aramaic. By the way, don't ever let you people tell you that Jesus was speaking Hebrew to his apostles and all that. That was a formal language that was used for religious ceremonies at the time. He spoke Aramaic. A couple of the apostles spoke Greek and trans had their transcriptions made. Most of them were not written by their own hands. They spoke to someone else and the scribe wrote them down had them done in Greek, because that was the more prominent language at the time of the Apostles. By the time of Saint Jerome, nearly four hundred years later, Latin was the universal language. And so Saint Jerome took those books written in four different languages and translated them all into Latin. And then the Church held a council and approved the book the Bible. And that's the only reason we have a Bible. So for longer than America's been a nation, almost twice as long, Christians had no Bible. Think about that. So anyone that says you know the Bible alone is all as necessary. First Christians didn't have a Bible. Did they go to Heaven? Were they saved? The Anyone says you don't need a church without the church, you don't have a Bible. Anyone who says I can read the Bible and interpret it and tell you what it means. No, that's only given to the Church to have that power. If you want proof of that, there are fifty thousand Protestant denominations, each of which disagrees strongly with each other on doctrine. And there's only one truth, okay, And all of them disagree with the Catholic Church and the Orthodox churches, and there's still only one truth. So only one thing can be true. You know, a Baptist will say that the Bible outlaws or forbids infant baptism. Meanwhile, the Bible doesn't even mention infant baptism. Meanwhile, a Presbyterian or an Anglican or a Lutheran practices infant baptism. So is the Lutheran or the Baptist right, You know, you can go through the list of doctrines. I'm going to stick with the first one. But you know, of course that's just me. Anyway, it's just amazing to think all it's been accomplished in the last two hundred and fifty years, but still how young of a nation America is and how much we're still working things out. I mean, imagine for just a minute, go back two thousand years all the controversies that arose the Gnostics, the Montanas, and then you know, most of the world did not even hate I mean they hated Christians. I mean, to become a Christian if you were Jewish, meant no longer being allowed in the synagogue, and your family was supposed to treat you as dead. And half of all Jews converted Christianity in the first two hundred years of Christianity by free will, no enforced them. If you were a Christian in Rome, it meant you would probably be fed to the lions or burned alive, crucified in so many ways. I think we have things so easy now, but things are so much more confused. But here's the thing that is the point. I'm eventually coming to the point. In less than two hundred and fifty years, Americans were willing to forfeit all of their freedoms for fear of catching the flu. Think about that. Let us think in They weren't being threatened with, you know, torture and death in a Roman colosseum. And you know, Nero wasn't slaughtering thousands of people, men, women, and children in mass. People were willing to sacrifice their personal liberties. Where they're going to go, what they're going to do, how they're gonna I guess dress, you know, whether you wear a mask or not. Their family relationships. Will you spend Thanksgiving with your family? No, somebody's not vaccinated. They put the fear of catching the fricking flu over family. Our political freedoms totally changed the way we voted, doing mail in ballots and all that. And yeah, I got a lot of questions and issues with that, Trust me. I think that was very purposeful. Their freedom of speech, their freedom of assembly. Our churches were closed, our public meetings were closed. You know that's literally freedom of assembly is one of the rights. I mean, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, These are things our ancestors died for, and for fear of catching the flu, people gave them all up in the blink of an eye. And even beyond that, they gave up their respect, their regard, their care for their neighbor, for their fellow man. People were turning in their neighbors for walking through their backyard without a mask on, walking on the beach with nobody around. People were calling the police. I hope with everything in me that that COVID era will be remembered as a time of such ridiculous insanity that future generations never ever again allow such I mean people people were denied oregan transplants because they didn't get a vaccine that didn't work. I mean, at this point in time, can we finally admit that the COVID vaccines didn't work. You could take the COVID vaccine and still get COVID, therefore it didn't work. Never mind the fact that a lot of people got sick and died from the vaccine itself, maybe even more than died from the COVID virus. But people were denied kidney transplants, herd transplants because they wouldn't take a vaccine that hadn't been tested, hadn't been proven, and turns out didn't work. And you had at least half of America saying if you didn't take that vaccine, you basically need to be put in a concentration camp. This was really serious, scary stuff, and we lived through it. We went through it, and I don't know that most of us really even think anymore. How truly evil it was. What is the definition of evil? Evil is malevolence, but it's also stupidity, you know. Okay, they say the devil's first sin was pride. All right, let's look at our leaders. They had the audacity, the pride to tell other people how to live their lives and to say that they were right with no proof, no evidence. Trust the science. As Fauci said, right, I am science. That was the other thing he said, I am science. He wasn't science science, Going back to France's bacon, and even before that, predisposes, not predisposes, but it necessitates having a theory and testing it. And they were saying, you can't test this theory. So first of all, you have the absolute evil of pride by our medical professionals, our pharmaceutical professionals, and our politicians and our freaking bureaucrats that nobody elected in the first place. Bureaucrats somebody who just gets hired to do a job and then is a ten box dictator over everybody else. That's evil. That's the exact same evil that actually allowed the Nazis to and commit the Holocaust, allowed the Soviets to kill about twice as or four times as many people as the Nazis did, and no one was allowed to question it because a bureaucrat, an unelected person was put in charge and had the full power of government behind them, making people turn on each other, making people one en force illogical positions like I said, if your pants, don't hold your fartsand your masters, and keep a microscopic virus from coming through your breath one way or the other. Now, yes, it keeps you from spitting on somebody, But why the hell you're spitting on somebody in the first place. We all learned to cover our mouths as a child when we sneeze, right, We learned to wash our hands in preschool, elementary school. That's evil. It turned family members again each other, It turned neighbors against each other. It had half of Americans saying the other half of America should be killed or imprisoned if they questioned the narrative. Evil is always proud and stupid. And then it comes back to the fact there's only one truth, right. The truth was this virus came from a bioweapons lab, but you weren't allowed to say it. You get caught a racist for some reason if you said it. I mean, in the same posts that got me banned from YouTube. I said, just like how our own government developed WLME disease in a bioweapons lab in Pennsylvania and it got out. I believe the Chinese government was developing a gain of function virus and it got out, and somehow that had be branded as a racist. Evil always brands what it opposes in language that makes that person hated, you know, just like the Nazis would say, oh, that's a jew killed the jew right. The anti freedom people during the COVID era said that's a vax denier, that's a whatever right, and you became branded. You were othered. That's actually the word for it. You were othered. That's another that's a sign of evil. On this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, I hope and pray to God we have finally reached a point in our culture when the vast majority of people have seen that the emperor has no clothes. We had a senile, nearly brain dead president wielding ridiculous amounts of power never granted to him by the Constitution. We had a babbling moron as a vice president doing the same thing. We had a doddering sputtering I should hold my tongue on this one, because Nancy Pelosi gives every indication of being an incredibly incompetent person, let's put it that way, as does Mitch McConnell. And these people were running our government wielding tremendous amounts of power, people who should have been retired twenty years ago. Minimum. We had unelected bureaucrats governing and controlling every aspect of human life, even down to children's birthday parties or Thanksgiving family gatherings, openly violating the constitution, restricting religious service and public assembly. We had our free speech rights. It absolutely stripped from us to the point where not I mean just one thing, if a private company says, okay, you can't be on YouTube anymore, you know, I had no recourse. So that's a private company, I say, you know, you know what I say to them. But you had people take seizing bank accounts, taking away people's ability to spend money on food and gasoline, restricting interstate commerce travel. This was purely unconstitutional, and no one stood up or did anything. Where were the courts that protected us? Our entire legal system went along with it. No, they didn't do a single thing to protect us. Where were our politicians, Democrat and Republican, standing up saying this isn't right, this isn't legal, this is wrong. No, they were nowhere to be found. There wasn't who who who questioned it? Ron Johnson, maybe ran Paul ninety nine percent of them went along with it and cheered it on, cheered it on, Democrat and Republican and anybody in between. Where was our experts, our learned professors championing the cause? They were right on board with it. They were the ones encouraging the boot of a heel of oppression to be ground into the face of the American people. Where were our religious leaders absentee? For the most part, absentee. I don't remember any prominent religious leaders standing up and saying this is wrong. This is a violation of the laws given to us by God that don't come from man, and that's what the Constitution says. Name one prominent religious figure that did that. Sure, there was a bishop here and there, there was a preacher here and there there was nobody, nobody else spoken out front. Where was our fifth state? Fifth state? The media America is supposed to be free because we have a media that tells us what our government's doing. They were on board, actively doing the same thing, promoting it, enforcing it. Where were our police that were supposed to protect us. They were enforcing unconstitutional laws and mandates that weren't even law. Where were our military? A handful of soldiers said, you know, and marines and all that, you know what I'm saying. They said, we're not getting the vaccine. They were kicked out. Nobody said a word about it, and the military enforced it more than just aboudy bails? Were they fighting for our freedoms? Could we actually count on the military to defend us if there was another if we had to have another revolution against a power like we did against England? Now, No, our military will not fight for us, Our police will not protect us, our elected officials will not rep resent us, our religious leaders will not shepherd us, our neighbors will turn on us in the blink of an eye, and our own family members will you know, basically condemn us, disown us turn us in and that that is the truth, And that's is that what mister Haslip thought for. No, No, is that what Charles? Is that what Charles Carroll gave everything for? You know, the only Catholic signer of the Decoration of Independents, who put the only man brave enough to put his address under his name, who the richest man in America, essentially funded the American Revolution, gave he lived to be the longest living signer of the Declaration of Independence, in the course of which he lost everything, His only son died, broken and his family just destroyed. My lineage comes through one of his nephews. Is that what the rest of the signers of the Decoration, nearly each one of whom was killed, hanged, shot, risk in signing that document. No? Is that what a doctor is supposed to do when he signs the hippocratic oath that first do no harm. No is that what a scientist is supposed to do. Who says I am going to test and prove science theories to say that this is true and this is false. No, anyone who wasn't paid off, was in on it or purely cowardly. I mean, we have essentially a generation of children who grew up during that masking era, who are socially stunted because they didn't get to see facial expressions to go along with the voices. They are probably going to show autistic tendencies, whether or not they are technically autistic. We have a generation that was educated remotely and didn't have that social interaction that teaches, you know, literally teaches you how to be an adult later in life and to deal with people in the workplace or in the family or you know, your neighbors. We were so betrayed that I would go so far to say that our government and every institution of our society violated every single tenet of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights of the Constitution. And I think it's very important on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this nation that we look back. I mean, people love to talk about slavery and civil rights, right, they love to talk about, Oh, well, you know, in the first few decades of the United States, the practiced slavery, and the America never lived up to it's all men are created equal. Yeah, I got a little the Barack Obama influenced in my voice of all men were created equal. Get the hell over it. You want to talk about that, we thought a war for that. It's been settled. It's been settled for two hundred years. There was discrimination of the nineteen fifties. Yeah, there was discrimination in the nineteen fifties. You know what, now there's discrimination in the year. In the twenty twenties, there was discrimination against people who believed in free speech, against people who believed in freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, personal individual freedoms, medical freedom. Get the hell over it. Yeah, they shot Martin Luther King. That's horrible. They also killed and imprisoned and destroyed the reputations and took the money, the fortune, the livelihood of many, many people who spoke out against the injustices of the COVID era. You know, I am willing now to just call it even. We can start again. You stop whining and complaining about civil rights and racial injustice and discrimination, and I'll maybe not bring up the things Kamala Harris said during COVID How's that we'll give it a trade off, or the things the idiot Joe Biden said, or the actual powers of the government turned against the American people, which you know, federal government was pretty much on the side of civil rights during you know, Kennedy and Johnson and Nixon. And when all that was sorted out, okay, we had the entire federal government turned against us. During the civil rights era, the media was championing, championing civil rights. The easiest way to become a very famous and powerful person in America was to go out there and march against agreation. You don't believe me, okay, look at Marlon Branda, look at Rob Ryner, look at a KORL Reyner, look at you know how many I could sit here for an hour talking about the liberal politicians of the sixties and seventies of all races, who became famous for their anti bigotry standpoint. Great, hey, I agree with them. I'm totally against bigotry. And then a few decades later turned on us and became the very bigots say proposed to oppose. You know, where was Jane Fonda on masking? Where was Jane Fonda on cancel culture? I can tell you what side she was on. She was on the exact same side she was in the nineteen sixties and seventies. She was on the side of the communist, oppressive, dictatorial, evil government. There's never been a penalty in America, at least since the nineteen fifties. I mean, they're talking about McCarthyism, right, Remember what McCarthy said. He said, the Communists are in the positions of power. He tried to expose them. Later, the Vanona Papers came out and proved he was right about everything. Nobody ever talks about that. But he said the Communists were in the positions of power. He didn't say they were a threat, and we're trying to keep him out. He said the Communists were in the positions of power. And within five years McCarthyism had become a word. It was horrible. If you suspected somebody might be a communist, you were the bad guy. There's never been a penalty for being on the side of the left, for being a liberal, for being a Marxist, for being a communist, for being a socialist in America post the Civil War. And why would I say post the Civil War, Well, because really a lot of it got art of the progressive movement of the nineteen teens nineteen twenties that literally wrote the book for Hitler literally came up with eugenics that founded Planned Parenthood to get rid of Blacks and Jews and Catholics and everybody that you know, the English socialist upper class elites didn't like. Before then, even it was the Temperance Movement. Temperance Movement got going real strong about eighteen ninety or so, and it was purely communist at its core and militant. Carrie Nation was taking a hatchet in and busting places up and threatening people's lives. I mean, frankly that I had a puncher in the face, but hey, that's just me. People put up with it because they were afraid to speak out against the progressive liberal, leftist, dictatorial, totalitarian socialist movement. It's been the same for gosh, I mean it's been This has been the narrative since Woodrow Wilson, a clansman, a freemason, a bigot who hated anybody who wasn't a white Anglo Saxon Protestant, became president. I mean, the very founder of the Liberal Democrat Party was everything they claimed to be against. He was literally go watch Birth of a Nation. He literally funded a movie showing black people's apes and how the white progressive liberals were going to save everybody he would, and he advocated the outlawing of Catholicism. He wanted to get rid of all black Jews, Catholics and you know, brown people and yellow people and whatever. I don't. I mean, how are you want to say in that politic politically correct, nice way. And that's the founder of the modern Democrat Party. Should we really be that surprised that one hundred years later what they did with us over COVID? Now? I mean, I know half my audience at least are Democrats, and you're probably angry at me right now, but go look at history and see that I'm right. Go look up Woodrow Wilson. He's not the hero you were talking in school. He was a freaking Nazi. Donald Trump not a Nazi. Woodrow Wilson Nazi, Okay, fdr Nazi. Hillary Clinton said that Margaret Sanger was her hero. Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist Nazi. Donald Trump not a Nazi, Hillary Clinton, Nazi. Look at it with clear eyes, and I beg you stay a Democrat, be as liberal as you want to be, be as progressive as you want, but get that cancer out of your party so we can remove it from our country. Never ever again, should an American citizen be told you can't come in here into a public, state owned facility that you're in tax dollar support. You think about that. If a black person had walked into that liquor store and the person said, get out of here, we don't serve blacks, you'd be really angry about that, wouldn't you. You should that, you rightfully should. That person's taxes paid for that facility. That person's taxes paid for that it's to service. They deserve it just as much as anybody of any race, creed, or culture. But I walked in there and I was told get out of here unless you put on a mask. And I said, I have a documented disability. I can't put on a mask. She said, I'm going to call the police. And a lot of people lost their jobs. People were kicked out of the military and lost their pensions and benefits. People were fired from schools and hospitals. Truck drivers who sit in their trucks alone and pump gas were being forced to wear these masks and take these stupid vaccine mandates and had their bank accounts confiscated. You know what. I started this podcast in very It was very much inspired by what was happening at that time, and the reason was people couldn't go get medical care, and the medical care they were getting was the opposite of the hippocratic oath. If you didn't get the vaccine, you couldn't go to the doctor for a sore throat. You couldn't go to the doctor if your kid got ahead. You couldn't go to the doctor if you've broken a finger or a hand. I broke my finger the other day. That's what comes up. Yes, I'm sitting here with a broken finger. There will be no Tune of the Week this week. My finger is very broken. You could not go to the doctor. You couldn't go the dentist. If you have toothache, you had to have a tooth pulled or have a cavity filled. You couldn't go the eye doctor. If something happened to your eye. I mean that could be very serious. You know, you can an eye infection that thin can actually kill you by getting the infection into your brain if it gets bad enough. If you didn't take the vaccine, they were not going to see you. You couldn't get a heart transplant or a kidney transplant. People were losing custody battles, they were having their kids taken away from them because they didn't want to take a vaccine that was not proven to work and seem to be pretty dang dangerous. So I thought, you know, people need the resources to be able to handle enagible issues at home home remedies. That's all I've ever said. I don't say that I don't give medical advice. I've never once said use herbal medicine and don't use modern medicine. But what I came down to was what it came down to, and what I came up with was if the doctors will no longer treat people, people have to learn and take care of themselves. At that point in time, I had serious misgivings about the COVID vaccines, but they had not been proven to cause cardiac arrest and turbo cancers, and who knows what else. We did not have the Vaccine Injury Index, what we call the reports where they catalog all the vaccine injuries that were not allowed to be shared publicly during the COVID You know, pandemic's a good word, and it means worldwide epidemic, But I'm gonna call it panademic people are panicking, panic demic. All reason, all logic, all scientific processes, methods. I mean to say, all law went out the window, and for fear of catching a bad cold. Yeah, some people died from it. Some people More people died from the flu every year. Honestly, we don't do that over the flu, but we did it over COVID. And I still just shake my head. I got COVID, I had. I was one of the first people, probably in North Carolina, get COVID because my neighbor was involved in the military games and that seems to be how it got into the country. He was a soldier who got it overseas and brought it back to me, and we were out working in the art together and you know, being neighbors, and I caught his COVID. I survived. Some people didn't. I understand that. But like I said, more people die of the flu. I still won't understand why. I understand why this happened. I mean, I can't find a logical reason why America Americans, I guess I should say individuals, Well, no, America, because the individuals didn't act as individuals. They acted with a herd mentality and that's exactly what happened. And I guess therein you have your answer, because where one person may have intelligence and reason, a mob rule always descends into chaos and rioting. And that's essentially what happened. Mob rule is you know, the results of that are the bulsh of the revolution or the malice revolution in China. And yes, it's a very good comparison to COVID. Anyway, it just seemed like a good day to think, kind of recap, kind of step back and think why did I start the show? Well? I started the show because it was a period of time when people literally could not go to a doctor. People there were travel respections, there were like basically lockdowns in many places. People couldn't go to a doctor. People were sick and had no means of medical care because the doctors that pledged their lives to help people were on the other side. They were hurting people. I lost all faith in the medical industry at that time, and I will call it an industry. It is nothing more than another industry. It might as well be healthcare, may as well to me be fertilizer company or a pesticide company. I don't have any respect for doctors or nurses. And I know, I got a lot of nurses listening to me, and some of you are very brave and stood up, but nine ninety percent went along with it. I have someone tells me they're a doctor a nurse, now, I'm like, okay, I'll put that on the same level as being a lawyer. I mean, you know probably how I feel about lawyers. When you need one, if you can get a good one, they're great, but most of them are going to try to take your money and possibly, you know, damage your reputation or even put you in prison. I don't like lawyers, and I pretty much consider doctors and nurses the same way now. Teachers I consider the same way now because the way they did and considering our test scores. I mean, more than fifty percent of kids can't even read and seventy five percent can't do math. But they keep demanding more money because teachers need money, and apparently they're they're like some kind of saints. They're not. They're basically institutionalized child abuse. That's what the public education is. It's institutionalized child abuse. And essentially the healthcare profession has come institutionalized medical abuse. You're lucky if I mean. Actually, one of the leading causes of death in the United States is the combination of medical error, malpractice, and over prescription. Only misdiagnosed it, well, it would be error. Yeah, okay, there was one another. Oh abuse, you know when someone when when a doctor or nurse actually tries to hurt a patient. That happens more often than you may think. I've seen it with my own eyes. What do you mean, That's exactly what I would call. You know, all the deaths and the nursing homes up in New York that was medical. They killed those people, They literally killed those people, and no one's been held accountable. No one has been held accountable. I mean, you're talking about doctors and nurses who literally put healthy people with ternally ill people, knowing the healthy would catch the disease from the terminally ill and both would die. That is murder, and no one's been held accountable. No one even cares. I mean there's there there's been no lawsuits, there's been no courts that have heard it. I mean, I guess a few people did try to sue, but the courts threw it out because they're complicit. What's a judge a judge is a lawyer. A law what's a good lawyer? The best lawyer is the guy that can lie a little better than the other lawyer. The better law liar he is, the more successful lawyer he becomes. And then the best liar then becomes a judge, because a lawyer gets becomes a judge. I mean, this is I could go on and on and on, and I know for many of you have gone on quite too far. But I started this podcast, and we're coming up on three hundred ish episodes on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States, and I think it's very appropriate to revisit why did I start this podcast. It's so you could take control of your own life when control was being taken from you. This podcast has never made me a lot of money, literally, and did the hosting fees for the podcast. At the end of the month, I'm doing good if I break even or make twenty or thirty bucks. Meanwhile, I put in hours a week. I do a minimum of three podcasts a week, usually a good hour on this one, usually a good hour on my Catholic podcast, usually good thirty minutes to forty five minutes on the preparent broadcasting network plus view interviews on other people's podcasts, the work I've been doing, Steve Cunningham and all that I put in hours a week on this podcast. And if I make thirty bucks in a month, I think that's about my record that that's been about. Help. Yeah, you're not gonna make money doing this. I did not do this for the money. Obviously, if I had, it would have been really foolish. I did it because I saw a need. Our freedoms were being taken from us. And then even a prisoner, unless doctors get involved and lawyers can refuse to eat, right, a prisoner has that last line of freedom that says I will starve myself to death rather than comply with your wishes. Now, once again, a lawyer and a doctor can get involved, and a judge can get involved, and they can stick an IV in their arm and force feed them. Yeah again, we kind of see how those things always play out. But even a prisoner has that freedom in a time when our ability to choose whether or not we would allow something to be put into our bodies i e. A vaccine or put over our mouths was just being turned on his head inflicted upon us with dictatorial rule. I said, Okay, people need to be able to use home remedies and take care of things at home. I know a lot of ways. You can grow food, harvest food in the wild, you can cook it. If they say, remember we couldn't even go to restaurants. You know, couldn't even go to restaurants. Amazing just to think about that. You were not even allowed to go into a restaurant. And man, I mean go into a grocery store. Well you I mean for a while we had to do order ahead and do curbside pick up, and we would go in. It was like this distancing and spacing and it was just insanity. And even Fauci admitted he just made that crap up. I saw this program at this podcast as a way to give people a little of their freedom back. And I hope, I sincerely hope it has been of use to you. It has been beneficial for you in that regard that you were able to listen to it and think, you know, I can do this. I can, you know, even in the most minute. I mean, like I said, I broke my finger the other day and I use an arnicon hopsbud tincture for the pain and inflammation, and it's helped a lot. Anybody can make that. It wasn't even a tincture, It's a liniment. I made it with a rubbing alcohol, Arctica blossoms and hopspud. Anybody can do that inexpensively. And I'm not having to take a bunch of tail and oll or something because of the pain. I just you know, put this on my finger and the pain some sides. That's super easy, right, Anybody can do it. I hope I've given you recipes that you think I can make that. I can make that at home for like a dollar twenty five and eat for you know, a few meals and save money and I don't have to be I don't have to worry about going to the grocery store being shut out of a restaurant again. I hope I've given you inspiration to read, to study, to self educate, to make your own decisions, and really to take back the freedoms that were given to us by those who literally fought and died for them, that were so swiftly and dramatically taken from us in the blink of an eye over a panic due to basically a bad chess cold. I mean, I remember saying at the time, and it may have been in the first show. It was certainly one of the first couple I said, you know, I've had COVID. I got through it. Uh, don't you don't have to be afraid of this. I had the avian flu a few years before that. It was much worse. I had a version of the swine flu years before that. It was so much worse it would almost killed me. I mean, I had a fever that spiked hemorrhagic bleeding from my nose. I mean, really horrible, nothing like COVID. I hope I've given you a lot to laugh about, a true feeling that we're in this together, whether we agree on things or not. I mean, you don't have to agree with me politically or religiously or anything. I still give you my information for free. I've never wants charge for it. You know, I do have charge for books. There's a cost involved in books, and I do have to make a living just like anybody else. But the podcast has always been free. The SUBSEC newsletter, I'm one of the few people that give it away for free. Some people, out of the goodness of their hearts, will do a voluntary subscription, and I think it's wonderful. And whenever they do, I say, hey, what of my books do you want? I'll send you free books. You know, I never just take take you for granted, but I feel, I hope I've given you a feeling. We're in this together. We're gonna get through it. While we cannot count on any of the institutions of our society anymore any longer, we can count on each other. And we can you know, we can have our individual freedoms. We can count ourselves if we if we learn and train, it's a matter of preparedness, it's a matter of community. But maybe above all else, Like the song by The Who, we won't get fooled again, because see that's exactly what happened. If you listen to that song, it's a brilliant song. Really. The Who's one of my favorite bands of all time, very much gosh, very out of step with say John Lennon and the other collectivists. Right, Roger Daltrey sings, you know, it's fighting in the street and all that, and there's a revolution, right, and then meet the new boss same as the old boss. So I'll pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday, and get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again. Unfortunately, I don't have enough faith in humanity to believe we won't get fulled again. But I will get on my knees as I do every day and night. Unless my knee is injured, then at least spiritually I get on my knees. I can't. I can't always do it physically, obviously, I you know, fell off at the ladder a couple of years ago, blew out my knee. You know the story. Sometimes I have an issue, but get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again. I can tell you that experience changed the way I view a lot of things I used to think. You know, I live in this community with a lot of independent, minded, freethinking, self reliant mountain people or you know, down the mountain, self reliant rednecks whatever you wanna call it, stal abilities and rednecks whatever. And while we did handle things a lot better than say New York and California and Illinois, such as that was, that was a rural mountain community where I had that issue with the face mask. People freaked out, And I used to think, you know, if things go bad, you know, my neighbors are deputy sheriffs, My neighbors are veterans, we'll pull together, we'll look out for each other. You know, I learned pretty darn quick, pretty darn quickly. Now. Uh, that soldier is going to take orders. That police officer is going to take orders. That fireman's going to take orders. That's what they're trained to do. That you know nurse is going to do what she's told to do. That teacher is going to do what she's told to do. The number of people who would think things through and make decisions on their own are fewer, far fewer than I ever realized. And those that will defy authority are far fewer. If things were to actually go bad, you know, your cops, your cop buddy, your your deputy sheriff's buddy, your your next door neighbor, like I had, he's going to do exactly what he's told to do. And if that means come confiscate your gun or arrest you or whatever he's gonna do, it doesn't matter. If you're best friends, your soldier buddies, they will march against civilians in the blink of an eye. We've seen that happen before in the United States. It will happen again in the blink of an eye. If you have a small number of people you can count on, I would strongly encourage strengthening that network and talking through such things. Otherwise, you know, don't be surprised when the power company just cuts and cuts your power off, you know, like they did during the hurricanes as such, and you're like, but all my food's gonna spoil and I have a well that runs on electricity. I have to have water. You know, this is life or death. Well, we got issues over here. We gotta cut the power. They're gonna do it. It doesn't matter if you're your cousin or your brother or your next door neighbor. They're going to do it. You're just you're on your own. So that's you know, that's hard, that's hard to think about. But we also have to remember that the number of Americans who actually supported the cause of liberty in the American Revolution, the patriots as we call it now, were far fewer than fifty percent, and they were not called patriots at the time. They were called traders and their neighbors were turning them in and having them hanged. Their cousins, their mother in laws, their father in laws, their sons and daughters were turning them in and having them hanged publicly. It but that minority, essentially that stuck together and openly discussed shared ideals and supported each other was able to literally change the world. So if we have a lesson on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States, let that be it. Think for yourself, do your own research, network with people you can trust, and test them out to make sure you can trust them. Never just take their words for it, and don't buy into the next panic demic. Also, don't be stupid. I mean, of course, there could be some horrible disease that we did have to alter our lives over, but COVID was by no means one. COVID was nothing like the yellow fever epidemics of the eighteen seventeen hundreds or polio in the early nineteen hundreds. COVID was just a bad cold, and we still haven't recovered as a society, as an economy, we still have not recovered from this mass panic stupidity. But frankly, if I ever catch one of y'all trust in the government again, I'm gonna kick your ass myself. That's all I have to say. Oh yeah, have a good one, and I'll talk to you next time.
