Judson on Helene and Mitigating the Madness

[00:00:04] You're listening to PBN. You're playing back the stability here.

[00:00:31] PBN family, we made it to Friday. Can you believe it?

[00:00:37] Listened to Judson Carroll yesterday. Make it a point. Not only to listen to his podcast yesterday, but to share it with everyone you know.

[00:00:48] And I mean everyone you know.

[00:00:51] So Judson put together probably the best piece of content on what's actually happening in Western North Carolina that I've heard.

[00:01:00] And everybody needs to hear it.

[00:01:02] Everybody needs to hear exactly what he has to say because he is positioned right in the center of it all.

[00:01:10] You know, he's communicating with people who are going through it.

[00:01:15] And he's got some information about donations.

[00:01:18] It's just a lot, you know.

[00:01:20] It's just...

[00:01:22] Sorry, I'm leaving the yard here.

[00:01:24] He's done a serious service and it's up to us now to spread it around to as many people as possible.

[00:01:32] So that they can get their eyes opened about what's happening.

[00:01:36] It's a very measured podcast.

[00:01:38] It's not like something I would do.

[00:01:42] He stayed like...

[00:01:43] He stayed like on point.

[00:01:46] Tried not to make it very political and so forth.

[00:01:50] And you know, he just did a phenomenal job with it.

[00:01:54] So give it some air time, man.

[00:01:56] Get the people...

[00:01:57] Look, because...

[00:01:58] You know, this is my number one concern with this right now.

[00:02:00] You know, we are...

[00:02:05] We are...

[00:02:05] Our heads are looking at a situation where it's like, well, we probably got like some weeks until recovery.

[00:02:13] You know, like that's what the brain is doing right now.

[00:02:15] We got some weeks till recovery.

[00:02:18] Things aren't right right now in Western North Carolina.

[00:02:21] You know, give some money.

[00:02:23] Do some things.

[00:02:25] And then move on to our next problem.

[00:02:29] We're...

[00:02:30] Keeping these people on the radar for as long as possible is essential.

[00:02:36] You know, this is going to be another forgotten community.

[00:02:39] You know, we've had these forgotten communities.

[00:02:41] This one is going to be a forgotten community.

[00:02:43] People are going to be...

[00:02:46] Well...

[00:02:47] Homeless.

[00:02:48] You know, largely forgotten about.

[00:02:51] And it's...

[00:02:51] It's ugly.

[00:02:53] You know, it's a very ugly thing.

[00:02:56] So listen to Judson.

[00:02:58] Okay?

[00:02:59] Listen to Judson.

[00:03:00] You can use some of the links that we've provided over the last few days to donate money.

[00:03:04] If you so desire it.

[00:03:07] Again, if you donate 50 bucks to the cause and...

[00:03:14] You get me a screenshot of that donation.

[00:03:16] I'll get you a signed copy of my community repair-edness book or pre-pare-edness book.

[00:03:22] Whatever you want to call it.

[00:03:23] Called Come Unity Community.

[00:03:25] It's a great read.

[00:03:27] I wrote it years ago when I was just starting our own community garden.

[00:03:32] And, you know, all these years later.

[00:03:34] It's not to say that we have the most prepared or even linked community of all.

[00:03:40] But, you know, it's a different thing.

[00:03:44] I'm certainly not isolated on a suburban street surrounded by people I don't know or who hate me.

[00:03:51] Or, you know.

[00:03:52] We have a network here.

[00:03:55] And it goes a very long way.

[00:03:58] And a disaster.

[00:03:59] And you kind of are going to hear stories about that, I'm sure, in the coming weeks and months.

[00:04:07] Along with the chaos in North Carolina.

[00:04:09] Wow, that sun feels good.

[00:04:11] It's been a while since I felt the sun on me.

[00:04:14] As long as the...

[00:04:16] Along with that chaos.

[00:04:17] You know, I made the announcement that the strike is over.

[00:04:20] The port strike is over.

[00:04:22] There's going to be some catch-up time on that.

[00:04:24] But, you know, the great news is that's a done deal.

[00:04:27] So, we don't have to worry about, you know, three weeks going by, four weeks going by.

[00:04:34] I don't know.

[00:04:35] You know, I don't...

[00:04:36] There's a lot of thoughts about it.

[00:04:38] I've had people reach out and ask me if they think it's the Democrat Party took care of it real nice and quick and clean.

[00:04:44] So, America wasn't dealing with that going into the election.

[00:04:47] Because that could have easily gone right into the election.

[00:04:50] And don't forget we are now, you know...

[00:04:53] Well, what's today?

[00:04:54] Today's exactly a month.

[00:04:55] Isn't it the fourth or the fifth?

[00:04:58] Guys, I've been...

[00:05:00] I've been completely and utterly overwhelmed lately.

[00:05:03] And I, uh...

[00:05:06] I'm really hoping things slow down a little bit.

[00:05:10] You know, and what do I mean by slow down?

[00:05:11] Just sort of the personal and professional waves of things.

[00:05:19] You know what I mean?

[00:05:20] Just in general.

[00:05:22] Right?

[00:05:22] Like, I'm ready to settle into a nice, boring holiday season.

[00:05:26] Which I know is not going to be the case.

[00:05:28] But it would be nice.

[00:05:30] I'm ready to see family.

[00:05:31] I'm ready to do some shows on preparedness basics.

[00:05:35] And preparedness topics.

[00:05:36] And preparedness projects.

[00:05:39] Uh...

[00:05:39] But I feel so inclined lately to put shows out that are recapping these monumental things that are happening.

[00:05:47] And I'm nervous that it's just going to be monumental after monumental.

[00:05:50] We've reached the monumental point.

[00:05:52] You know?

[00:05:55] Uh...

[00:05:56] Uh...

[00:05:57] X7 and X9 solar flares are in the, uh...

[00:06:02] In the universe right now.

[00:06:04] I think the X9 is either hurtling towards Earth or starting to make it to Earth.

[00:06:09] Yeah, this happened too.

[00:06:11] This happened yesterday.

[00:06:12] Crazy.

[00:06:13] Right?

[00:06:13] The things that happen in a day are just astounding lately.

[00:06:17] And I think it's because we...

[00:06:19] We've created this network of information that tells us all about the threats.

[00:06:24] What we have to be careful about though is with all this stuff happening, we have to be very careful about outcomes.

[00:06:29] And we have to measure personal outcomes.

[00:06:32] Right?

[00:06:33] In other words, there's been a...

[00:06:34] There's absolute chaos in the western Appalachians.

[00:06:38] Right?

[00:06:39] Not the west.

[00:06:40] In the Appalachians.

[00:06:42] In the southeast.

[00:06:45] Absolute chaos.

[00:06:46] But for the vast majority of you listening, it's important to recognize that you haven't been hurt at all.

[00:06:52] Yes, it's sad and terrible and we have a duty to keep the media focused on it and the American people's eyes on it.

[00:06:58] But it's also important to understand that this has no effect on you if you're not in that area.

[00:07:03] None.

[00:07:04] Right?

[00:07:05] No real physical effect.

[00:07:06] Like you're not hurting for something, wanting for something.

[00:07:09] There's something you can't have.

[00:07:12] The port strike.

[00:07:13] Like, you know, barring some people doing some panic buying and that kind of thing.

[00:07:17] The port strike hurt no one.

[00:07:20] Who's the...

[00:07:20] I mean, I don't know.

[00:07:21] I'd never guess in a million years.

[00:07:23] Just like I wasn't going to guess what that hurricane would do.

[00:07:26] I would never guess what a solar flare can do.

[00:07:30] Okay?

[00:07:30] Or will or will not do.

[00:07:32] But if this passes without any issues, then this will be another one of those things we get excited about and we have to measure.

[00:07:40] Like, okay, it happened.

[00:07:42] It came in.

[00:07:43] It was scary.

[00:07:43] It was anxiety.

[00:07:45] And it did nothing.

[00:07:46] Like the last one essentially did nothing.

[00:07:49] Now, I don't know if this one will do nothing.

[00:07:51] You know?

[00:07:52] The other piece of that puzzle, though, when it comes to anxiety and threats and all that kind of stuff is what's your mitigation?

[00:08:00] Right?

[00:08:01] So, for the average, Joe, X9 solar flares coming.

[00:08:06] You just started thinking about solar flares and EMPs and that kind of thing.

[00:08:10] There is some...

[00:08:10] Speaking of power grids, there's some very interesting stuff to...

[00:08:16] There's a big story with the power grid in North Carolina.

[00:08:20] And watching that piece of that power grid recover is going to be very interesting.

[00:08:24] You know?

[00:08:25] What...

[00:08:26] Because it's a sort of a microcosm of one of our largest concerns, which is, you know,

[00:08:31] damage to the power grid at large.

[00:08:35] So, that will be interesting.

[00:08:37] But...

[00:08:38] If you're new and you don't have any EMP protection and you're thinking to yourself,

[00:08:44] here comes a solar flare, what should I do?

[00:08:47] You've got the, well, maybe nothing happens, right?

[00:08:50] To sort of help you deal with that anxiety.

[00:08:53] What I'd also recommend, though, is some real legitimate EMP protection.

[00:08:58] You know?

[00:08:58] So, we have several different ideas and concepts.

[00:09:03] We have several different products here at my home.

[00:09:09] Of course, if you really want to get deep into it, if you really want the real deal protection,

[00:09:16] you know, you want to go to FaradayContainers.com.

[00:09:19] If you have a lot of stuff that you want to protect from an EMP, if you have a comms hub,

[00:09:24] if you have tractors, if you have vehicles that you manage your homestead with,

[00:09:30] or even, you know, motorcycles that you want to get around town in and you're worried about EMP,

[00:09:35] I'm telling you, Faraday Containers has what you need.

[00:09:38] Even if you want to just stash a solar generator, some comms stuff in a real durable metal workbox,

[00:09:45] a five-foot metal workbox, check out FaradayContainers.com.

[00:09:50] You know, they're creating sort of the most hardcore EMP protection that I've seen.

[00:09:58] And they're a sponsor here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:10:01] We're proud to have them.

[00:10:05] But we do have to be careful.

[00:10:06] We have to measure all this stuff, right?

[00:10:07] We have to measure outcomes and make sure we're not just huffing and puffing.

[00:10:12] And know that there's enough...

[00:10:15] We can recap and say, okay, was this as bad as we thought?

[00:10:19] And then we can also recap and say,

[00:10:21] what can we put in place to mitigate the anxiety for the next go-round?

[00:10:25] Because we know we're ushering into an age where things are going to be crazy, right?

[00:10:28] We know that.

[00:10:30] Like, there's no...

[00:10:31] There's nothing...

[00:10:33] You know that this fall is going to be crazier than last fall in probably a number of different ways, right?

[00:10:40] So what are we doing to get ourselves in a position to deal with that, right?

[00:10:47] We need to be in a position to deal with that.

[00:10:51] It's a big deal.

[00:10:54] Otherwise, we're just going to be going, oh my God, huffing, puffing, huffing, puffing.

[00:10:58] Something bad is going to happen.

[00:10:59] And I'm not prepared for it, or maybe I am, or maybe I'm not, or I'm not sure if I'm prepared for it.

[00:11:05] You know what I mean?

[00:11:10] Now, I've asked you to share PBN with people.

[00:11:13] I've seen yesterday that happened, and I thank you.

[00:11:16] That happened.

[00:11:17] I looked at the data.

[00:11:18] I can tell things happened yesterday that I want to happen more regularly, and I appreciate that.

[00:11:26] But, you know, we have the firepower to do some amazing things for the world right now.

[00:11:31] And that's really kind of what I want to do.

[00:11:33] You know, that's what I want.

[00:11:39] Stay tuned this weekend.

[00:11:41] Obviously, at noon, we're going to have Carl B. on.

[00:11:45] I've got a show in the chamber for L. Douglas Hogan that may be out today or tomorrow.

[00:11:53] Plenty of content.

[00:11:55] Like I said, don't get overwhelmed.

[00:11:57] There's a lot going on.

[00:11:59] Donate where and if you can.

[00:12:02] And, yeah, man, spread the word.

[00:12:04] Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:12:09] It's almost too much to wrap your head around these days.

[00:12:12] And we're doing our best for you.

[00:12:14] Okay?

[00:12:14] Talk to you soon.
