The Idaho Shooting was a Test

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

[00:00:47] PBN family, prepare the homeland. Heed my warning. Prepare the homeland. There's a lot of comment about what this could have been, might have been. If the man weren't dead already, I'd be calling for death.

[00:01:09] For those of you unawares, this Wes Rowley, 20-year-old, doesn't matter his background to me, really doesn't matter. Because this was a test. And whether it was a test or wasn't a test, this was a test. And I'll elaborate. But Wes Rowley set a fire called, I don't know if he called the fire department or not,

[00:01:38] but set a forest fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Cannon Field Mountain, something along those lines. Canfield Mountain. Called the fire department. The men arrived. The brave firemen arrived to do their job. Already a terrifying job to undertake to begin with. They show up. Shots fired. Two of them killed. One mortally or, you know, severely injured in the ICU now fighting for his life.

[00:02:07] Could be mortally wounded. Who knows? Time will tell on that one. They tracked the cell phone signature and find him dead next to a gun. One of the things I worry about right off the bat is whether this was a one-man job or not. Doesn't seem like it to me. But it was a test. And I want you to understand that. For the last two months, the continuity has been meeting

[00:02:38] and discussing these types of attacks in detail. And I can tell you right now, the effects of these meetings have reframed the way I look at a lot of things because you spend your time thinking about it, right? And then you go through the motions. How would it look in a city? How would it look? How would they disperse the EMS? How would they cause enough chaos in multiple locations to create a situation where they could have

[00:03:06] maybe even run roughshod over a smaller city? At least for a short period of time, right? On the onset of this, I did remember hearing reports about they weren't sure if it was one shooter or not. I don't think it was one shooter. I could be wrong. I could be completely wrong. My heart of hearts tells me this was more than one person.

[00:03:36] We'll just have to see. We'll have to see how it all plays out. Very convenient that they find the guy next to a gun. Okay, he took his own life. Or did his radical Islamist mentor take shoot him and leave the gun there? We'll have to wait and find out. All the details of this thing are horrendous and horrifying. And if the shooter weren't dead already, I'd be calling for his death, like I said.

[00:04:06] To go after first responders like this intentionally is the only thing in my opinion that sits above going after children. You know? We see the active shooter situations in the schools and that to me is well, it's the sign of our weakness at the clearest sign of our weakness, right? But it's also the most deplorable of actions. So, you know, it is what it is.

[00:04:35] But just above that, I think, is calling EMS, firefighters, ambulances, and ambushing them. These people are here to save lives. You know, there's a good chance they could wind up saving if he hadn't killed himself or got killed. Could have wound up saving this guy's life someday. But in a homeland-style attack, I sent an email out today for those of you on the newsletter about carrying weapons and things like that. With this in mind, and our whole newsletter

[00:05:05] has been this in mind. Our last two months of continuity meetings, like I mentioned, are built around this as well. So, to see something like this come to be, right? Come to fruition, it's one of those situations where it's like, ooh, this is a test. And even if, what I meant when I said even if it isn't a test, it is a test, is because someone's watching.

[00:05:36] Someone's watching, going, this is a good start. Five alarm fire. We get a good showing of those EMS. We take them guys out. We bring the first respond, the ambulance, and the first aid in to that location before executing an attack on another location in the city completely separate of that one. That's what I see.

[00:06:06] I see more than one player involved. And like I said, even if it turns out, but I think I already know, even if it turns out that this guy wasn't, you know, an ISIS proxy or an ISIS hopeful, I read a lot, so it's hard for me to remember what I read on social media compared to what I read in articles. But I remember reading something with ties to ISIS could have been total, you know, manufactured bullshit.

[00:06:36] But it is what it is, folks. It is a sign of the times. The line between friend and foe in this country is thin because we just don't know. And the only way to know is to know. The only way you can know is to know. I'll elaborate. But I want to remind you, I want to tell you all, not remind you because you haven't heard about it until just now, I want you all to know that tonight at 9 p.m. we will be going live. We're going to be doing Countdown to Midnight.

[00:07:06] Okay? We're going to be doing a 9 o'clock Countdown to Midnight. There'll be several hosts. Rick Austin will be there. The Phoenix will be there. And I hope you can join us live. We'll be on Rumble. We'll be on YouTube. We'll be on X. And we'll be promoting the Prepper Camp tickets which go up in price tonight at midnight. Okay? So if it's on your list of to-dos, you want to get them tonight. You want to get them now, really, fundamentally.

[00:07:37] So, that's the situation. But the only way to know is to know people. And even then, you might not know them as well as you think. But this isolated world that we live in, this world of isolation, it's rife with opportunity for people to get into an echo chamber of social media, get their minds taken over by some sort of doxy, and then to be in a situation where,

[00:08:08] oh, you know what I think I might do with my weekend? I think I might ambush a couple firemen. Sounds like a good time. Right? So we have to be aware of that. And what I mean is you have to have community. You have to be involved in your community. Maybe surviving America this week, I'll talk about my mother's passing. My mother passed away last week. I mean,

[00:08:37] you don't need a description of what it is, right? We all know it's either coming or has come, and it's something you'll never forget and never unfeel and all that kind of stuff. But, it just kind of knocked my wind out just now. I'm not even sure where I was going with that. We were talking about community and the importance of community in this time. You know what? Oh, that's what it was.

[00:09:06] Last night I got a text around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, something like that. My neighbor across the street, new father, great guy, warns me that they're going to be bringing over food and they brought over some delicious food and drink. You know, it was one of those weird things that you never expect because to be honest with you, when we have, you know, someone passes in our family, I don't expect anything from anyone.

[00:09:36] And, so thank you all for the kind words, the emails and such. We'll talk about it in Surviving America. I don't want to get into it here. But suffice it to say that it knocked me off balance. It was a beautiful thing and it was a reminder of the importance of community and humanity and how it all fits together in prepping. Prepping is very interesting in that it's everything. Much like politics, right?

[00:10:05] You can find politics and everything you can find prepping in almost everything it seems like anymore. Right? Everything is politics. Everything is prepping anymore. Prepping equals politics and vice versa. So, be wary, PBN family. That's all I can tell you. this was a test. And like I said, the guy involved or the guys involved may not have been conducting the test but you better believe

[00:10:35] that there are people watching this news in our country right now who are understanding that this is a test. one of the most important things in that audio sound that I played at the head of the show is when the guy mentions don't send anybody up here don't send anybody else up here. And I think that is such an important lesson. You know, especially in our community because we pack the heat baby.

[00:11:05] Right? We pack the heat so you think you know, something crazy goes down and I'm running in there. Something crazy goes, you know, whatever the situation is. You just gotta remember the first rule of first aid is the scene safe. Now if you feel valiant and it's your, you know, you're trained and all that kind of stuff then God bless you but for for most people we gotta remember that. We gotta remember

[00:11:35] to stay safe first. Is the scene safe? Should I roll up in here? Am I gonna be a help or a detriment in here? Now what I will say another thing about an active shooter situation like this that's worth remembering is if you are safe and if you are you know, the threat's traveling the other direction or whatever the situation is and you can render aid render aid because nobody's coming until those shooters

[00:12:04] are dead and that could be the end of people you know what I mean? a part of me wants to believe that the FBI and the DHS and the ICE will yank everybody with like with a cartoon style cane by the neck behind the curtain and throw them out of the country but the more rational part of me looks at everything and goes oof

[00:12:35] is something coming? and I guess it doesn't matter if something is coming or isn't coming I feel very confident that something is coming specifically since we pissed Iran off so badly and Iran is terrorism right? they are the nation of terrorism their national motto is terrorism that's it so it does feel like something's coming to me but I just want to remind you all on my way out the door that

[00:13:05] American strength is key and it starts with you American strength is the key proficiency strength capability this kind of stuff that you can work on every single day of your life this is the key because if we have strong and competent Americans then we'll never stop we'll never be stopped only in our weakness

[00:13:35] can they even come remotely close to stopping us only at our weakest in our weakness can they come anywhere close to stopping us don't forget to join us tonight folks oh we have another great show out on YouTube I'll put it out in the podcast soon but the canning diva has been with us for an interview she was great Diane Devereaux phenomenal just a great interview really really fun a lot of these

[00:14:05] prepper cam speakers are great fun tonight we will be live 9pm eastern to midnight-ish I don't know if I'll make it to midnight if I start falling asleep we'll just cut it but we're gonna be live on Rumble we're gonna be live on YouTube we're gonna be live on X come see us come hang out come throw some questions at us we'll be talking all kinds of stuff but the background of the show will be the countdown to midnight and uh yes just like the office the countdown to midnight and uh we're gonna try to move some

[00:14:34] prepper cam tickets tonight before the price goes up you know that's part of the goal don't miss it PBN family thanks so much stay safe out there man operational security what can I tell you no no no I'm sorry situational awareness if you want a line the most dynamic and the most powerful prep of all in my opinion really I think if you had to learn one skill that could keep you safe

[00:15:03] it's situational awareness situational awareness is one of the only things that could keep you safe without a gun right if you really tap into your ability to pay attention to what's going on in the world around you you could almost stay safe without a firearm but it ain't easy takes reps takes time more on that to come talk to you soon folks
