Phoenix Survival and the World At Hand

You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability. You're listening to PBN. Good morning PBNers, Jay Ferg here. And I was going to do the whole alert broadcast and everything else, but you were getting me first thing in the morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed, nice hot cup. There's frost on the ground. It is chilly as all get out out here. It says it's 36 degrees and there is frost everywhere. I am actually very thankful that I had decided to put my plants up and to, well, as much as I could in a very short period of time into my twerp greenhouse covered with tarps, because we do what we have to or try to. So as you know, the world events have gotten kind of out there. Uh, let me see in case anyone pops into the chat, feel free to say hello. And to my Rumble listeners, I will get that title updated. I auto-selected one of my templates and did not change anything. All right. Let me do something real quick. This is what I wanted to cover. So, as we know, Microsoft and Outlook caused global outages. It affected teams, your email, and other systems, and even people or companies who had their phones set up lost their telecommunications as well. We've had, over the last few weeks, hacking. Internationally, countries were being hacked. Their refrigerators, their freezers, the cold systems, blood banks. We've even had an attempt at hack on the U.S. It didn't make too much noise, but it was out there. On the military bases, we're attempted to be hacked. Hence, you know, it goes to show even more that the fortress initiative that Pentagon is pushing forward is ideal. But that pushes even more that the home fortress initiative that we're doing here on PBN is also something you need to pay attention to. Because the world's kind of gone crazy. So not only did we see that, but yesterday, the FFA, the FAA, wow, FAA. I am so tired. The FAA did a ground stop for all flights because their communication was having issues. Well, what you didn't also see is that in certain areas, a lot of truckers were forced to ground between the 13th and today. because their GPS's weren't working. Our system is quite vulnerable. People don't realize that just because we're in the new age of technology doesn't mean we're untouchable or insusceptible to hackers, to system incorrect updates, to anything. We are very vulnerable. When your technology gets smarter and smarter, it actually makes you more susceptible to anything. People become less reliant on themselves, less sustaining on themselves because you have an automated system that keeps things going. How long before this stops? How long before our banking accounts are affected? Some people were affected or nearly affected for their payroll. Because Microsoft is used for a majority of everything. You know, it is one of those times where you need to consider the fact that it is time to step up. Power. Food. Water. Hence our initiative. Right now, we're talking about power. James is. And power is a big deal. We're in a first world. We have first world problems. So, for us, I live in the middle of nowhere. So having my house set up to be able to put a generator on, even if it's just for a short while to keep the fridge and a couple outlets going, makes a big difference. Especially right now when it is 36 degrees out. They're talking about snow. That should be interesting. Don't know. Making sure we have our heaters because power does not just mean electricity. Power means your ability to keep yourself warm and safe. And those are big things you have to consider. Kerosene heaters. Propane heaters. Backups. We keep power banks on hand. My UPS for my computer system, so even if the power goes out, I can still work. My Starlink is connected to my UPS, which means I still have communication to the outside world. As long as the world's still there, right? And these are things people don't think about. I have it just because I live remote. Brownouts happen. When the power goes off or something happens, I still have to be able to work. I still have to be able to bring in an income. And those are things that we consider here. It's really cold. And I don't know what's going on with this. It is one of those things where we want you to keep going. Food and water. Make sure you have enough. I notice that with the craziness going on, people do look to us. And that's great because we're here for that. You've got questions. We'll give you the answers as much as we can. If you have concerns, talk to us. Our Black Friday catalog just released. And we have some amazing in. Amazing things in there. I make binders for your emergency plan and needs. So if you want it on paper and you don't want to do the Codex, we have that. You fill it out. It has your medical history. It has everything that you need in there for a basis set up for anyone. Codex is amazing, actually. We are going to be doing a Codex for our family because why not? Our memories of things you want to keep, we'd like to have that in book form. I love books. I have a library that says it. Another thing to consider, and I was going to do this whole production, is where the markets were sitting. Actually, I think James made something for me just for the metal markets. We are going to start doing that every time on Saturdays when I'm on, because I air right after the markets close. Well, the markets close Friday. The precious metal markets is something to be paying attention to. Gold did close at $ 3, 885. 40 an ounce. Okay, so it's gone down again. Gold is relatively within the $ 4, 000 range, if not a little bit higher. But silver, pay attention to silver. Silver closed at $ 48. 88 an ounce. Now, mind you, We were up to 53 again, almost 55. It keeps fluctuating. We are hitting that low point. We're going to hit and potentially stay there, in my opinion. And that's where we're kind of getting back to. Dependent on where the rest of the market goes. If the U.S. dollar declines, it usually increases. I always tell people to be leery. Platinum closed at $ 1, 497. Palladium at $ 1, 022. Rhodium at $ 9, 275. Let me pull up where the U.S. dollar is. So the U.S. dollar index closed at $ 103. 42, which is up. And silver is down. And it's kind of funny how they They rely on one another. And let me see. Crude oil. It is really something to consider, though, because silver... Okay. Let me just say it this way. The market is everywhere. Not just the metals market. I mean the world. I mean... with electricity, with hacking, with our electronic systems, why not back yourself up with gold and silver? I've talked about goldbacks on a previous show. I had Mr. Matt Dill from Goldback on here. And Goldback is a sustainable way of being able to, sorry, an affordable investment way of being able to keep gold in your house. Look into it. Silver. Can't go wrong with silver. Can't go wrong with currency. Right now, we don't know where the world's going. We don't know what the next thing's going to be hit. And if you're like quite a few people online or across the world, that 90-day initiative or the 90-day preparedness that the government put out kind of seems to be ringing true. These military bases trying to be hacked, everything else. So look into our home fortress initiative. I'm going to have some very special topics when it comes to water because I live remote. I am on a well. But I like having backups for my backups. That's the whole point of prepping. Not plan A or B always works. So we always have a plan C and D. Those early birds, I appreciate you popping on because I don't know how long I'll sit out here. It's quite cold. My camera is very wonky. There we go. There we go. We, we're seeing a lot of things going on. The grounded flights, grounded trucks, GPS is being affected. I actually believe even the national weather radar system was being, the national radar was being affected too. Let me. Oh, hold on. I think I have it. Yes. So the National Weather Service did confirm that their radars up. No, says the radars are not down. But there were some radars that were affected to the outage. So whether or not they got it up pretty quickly is a whole nother thing. Again, you can trust everything you find on the Internet. If you can hear that, I put a trash bag on that. It was picking things up. So power. We want you to have power banks. We want you to have, in my household, I have both chargeable and solar powered lamps that I can easily turn on. If it's sunny out, great. If not, okay. But we have options. We do plan on eventually growing and expanding our power needs. But financially, not my biggest point right now. But you can make it affordable. And you can make it easy. You don't have to kill yourself by dropping out $ 5, 000 to $ 10, 000 over nothing. I do think everyone should have a generator. I'm a fan of multi-fuel, even though the one we have is just a single fuel source generator. but it doesn't hurt to have options. We actually, for this weekend, have a list of things that we have to do and go over, not just because of the chaos in the outside world, but due to the weather that could potentially hit us here. Actually, let me... I'm in remote Western North Carolina. So... And I live on a mountain. And I'm surrounded by mountains. So that kind of gives you what we're dealing with. I think the high today is 52. And we're going to hit well past into freezing from here on out. So I think our cold days have finally set in. No more of the warm, hot days. Oh, here we go. Dow Jones is up. 0.10%. NASDAQ is down 0.91%. The markets are moving. How do those affect us? How are they going to affect us? Well, depending on which market, we're already seeing an even bigger increase in food and our everyday things. Fuel seems to be sitting okay. In some regions, still it hurts a certain temperature or Season. And then we're going to see it spike again. Those are my thoughts, my theories. We'll see where they go. It is really cold. Actually, my biggest thing is, anybody who's watching or listening, any idea as to what caused the outages? Does anyone have any hinkling ideas? If I remember correctly, I think our last large ground stop was 9-11. There may have been one in between a few years back. But I know our last largest one was 9-11. Okay, so everything I'm seeing, which is along par with what we had already heard, that telecommution occasions... was caused by telecommunications and radar films. That's why the FAA had the ground stop. Oh, with Agen, a Cisco 600 series routers manufactured between 2001 and 2006 became overloaded with data. Well, if a system can be easily overloaded. Sounds like a push on the system. In theory. I actually had a few people I knew who couldn't fly and a few people I was thankful that didn't have to fly yesterday. So you get to see the top of my head for a second as I type. Yeah. Microsoft is still not saying they're saying that it was a bad update and that things were affected. Systems went down and offline and they had to separate them. Systems were still quite slow and systems probably will be. We actually at my employment ran into different things. Sure. Other companies did. messages and everything else you have to be ready for everything and anything essentially don't like scaring people but people need to realize you can't keep your eyes shut there's enough madness in this world you need to start prepping especially for my new listeners out there preparedness is not something of we're doomsdayers and we're waiting for the world to end so if it does we still keep going and if it doesn't We're still going. I keep extra food, water, power, all the necessities, and warmth, especially with the time of the season. These are things to consider. What are you going to do for your family? How are you going to start? Well, start by tuning in more. PBN has a lot of good information, and we're trying to get that information out to you. We want you to be covered so you don't have to worry about it. It's a security. It's insurance. It's an investment. And I like it. It makes me happy talking about prepping. Because at the end of the day, whether in times of prosperity or in times of hardship, we are covered. my family eats, whether the lights are on or not. That's an accomplishment. I wish y'all could see this. It is actually very beautiful out here, even though my puppy over here is showing a stick who's boss. It's a good morning. I think it's going to be a short one. Truth be told, I have errands to run. And beyond everything that I wrapped up so quickly, do some homework. Find out what you need in your household. Look at what it would take to get you going for a 90-day supply. Everyone should have it. I've said it for months, three-month minimum. If you're going to start, start with a week. But I always suggest at least three months. So start there. Food. Water. Power. you don't have to just look at electricity but look at how you'll keep yourself warm how you'll keep your phones going whatever it may be start there start now i don't know what's going to happen tomorrow or next week or what else is going to be affected Nobody does. But this is why we do this. This is why we prep. So I am going to go inside. I'm going to get warm. I only get a short 20-minute show from me today instead of me going on about many things I could. And I'm sure I may come back tomorrow with more details, more info. But I've got to make breakfast and then I've got to go. So. Don't be idle. Just don't. It doesn't help anyone. And complacency is a killer. Start on your preps. You need it. You're always going to need it. All right, folks. Keep in mind, look out at where you're purchasing from. I refuse to shop Walmart anymore. So that one's out in my household. But look around to see if you have local shops that sell overstocked food. Keep an eye on your dates. Keep an eye on your cans. Rotate out your storage and your stock. Be thrifty. Because the penny is no longer. But you've got to stretch your dime where you can. Make sure that in your house you have extra water. It doesn't hurt. And at some point you'll be thankful you have it. All right, folks, now that I'm up to three and I'm jumping off, unless you have something you want me to talk about it, I'm going to go in, refill my cup and start my day. All right, folks, I will see you. I hope you have an amazing day and be PBN and relentless because we're not going to stop and neither should you. Bye, folks. But what also you put in here is your home Internet, your home off grid Internet. Right. What's your home off grid Internet? Your home off-grid internet is your prep or disc, right? When the Wi-Fi goes out, when the power goes out, your family connects to the prep or disc. What makes the prep or disc so unique is that you can hop on it, your wife can hop on it, your son can hop on it, your daughter can hop on it, all through their phone or device just by connecting to the Wi-Fi, right? It comes packed with all kinds of goodies. It's got 60,000 units. classic books. It's got FEMA. It's got maps. It's got medical. It's got prepping resources like you wouldn't even believe. It's got entertainment. If I had a prepper disc back in 2020, I would put my kid's entire curriculum on the prepper disc here. And he would have used this as an online resource to do his work. So you and your wife can watch a movie in a grid down type situation or an emergency situation. on your iPad pulls from your prepper disc while your kid does his homework on his iPad from the prepper disc. While your daughter's reading the Gutenberg library of 65,000 classic books, whatever one she wants. You know what I mean? That's the whole idea.
