The Strange Truth- Russia and China War Threat Update.

[00:00:00] Well, welcome to another episode of Strange Truths. I'm your host Carl B and yeah, it's hot, right? It's hot here in the northeast. We've had, I think three days now where it's gotten into the nineties, right? And you know, you just have to cope, right? You know,

[00:00:59] you know, you got to cope with everything. Not only the weather, but you got to cope with people, right? Because people are a lot less forgiving when they're hot. Right? I think if we have a really warm summer, we're going to see some interesting stuff,

[00:01:16] you know, in the big cities and you know, in the news as because I think people lose it when they are, when they get really, really, really hot and miserable and sweaty and everything else. So it's going to be interesting. So we're dealing with it in the northeast.

[00:01:37] It's summer, right? And there are going to be some summers where it's going to be seriously sweltering and there's going to be some summers where it's going to be meh, you know. So I'm just hoping for more good days than bad, right? More

[00:01:51] good days than bad. Lots been going on in the world today. We're going to concentrate on war drums, right? You know, what's going on with China and Ukraine will dip into that. You know, this is more of an update on what's going on with those, you know,

[00:02:11] areas of the world. Right. And we're even going to, you know, we're even going to talk about an off grid community, you know, that was in the news over the last week. So here's what we're going to do. Let's run some ads, right? And the order

[00:02:30] is going to be like this. We'll talk about that off grid community and, you know, people are getting off grid because they're kind of thinking something big is going to be going down. We'll talk about that for about

[00:02:42] maybe, you know, eight minutes or so, six, eight minutes, and then we'll jump straight into, you know, what's, you know, what's going on with Taiwan, what's going on with Russia. And, you know, we'll throw in some analysis of

[00:02:58] some of the stuff that's been going down. So that's going to be the show. Oh, yeah. And we also touch on, you know, the threat of communism. So we're kind of looking at, you know, the realistic overall threat

[00:03:13] issues here. Right. This isn't just, you know, speculation and everything else. This is all about realistically what could really go down. Right. And what steps you can take to protect yourself. Right. So, so let's go straight to our sponsors.

And of course, you have access to all, you know, thousands of articles and videos and different things on anything that you're really thinking about doing. You know, your your preparation, as James would say, your prepper dream,

[00:05:47] whatever that might be. So if you're an old hand or a new hand at prepping, please come check us out and become a member today. All right. So I'm going to read a little part of this article here

[00:05:59] that says hundreds of thousands of Americans are going off grid in anticipation of what is coming. And, you know, I think throughout society, right? I think when things are about to go bad, there is a sense that something ain't quite right. And people deal with that differently.

[00:06:19] Right. I think there's this kind of subconscious kind of shared consciousness, you know, that, you know, as a species, right? Human beings. Right. We're all kind of linked. And and I think when something big is about to go down,

[00:06:32] a lot of times you people get that inkling that something quite right. And it's a lot of times about how you deal with that. Right. You know, feeling right and how you position yourself, you know, to deal with whatever it is you that that feeling indicates.

[00:06:50] Right. So so there is this article on the most important news.com. Right. And I've seen and it's been published on other platforms. You know, hundreds of thousands of Americans are going off grid in anticipation of what's coming. And I'll just read a little bit of it

[00:07:04] so you can get a flavor of the article. And he says, as those society descends into chaos, vast numbers of people are choosing to pull the plug and walk away. Of course, it's nearly impossible to completely escape the ubiquitous madness that is seemingly all around us.

[00:07:20] But many are finding that an off grid lifestyle gives them the best opportunity to insulate themselves as much as possible. When you become less dependent on the system, what happens to the system has less impact on you.

[00:07:33] Unfortunately, it appears that our system is heading into a full blown meltdown and a significant portion of the population is fervently making preparations in anticipation of what is coming. According to routers, it has been estimated that there are now approximately 20 million preppers in the United States.

[00:07:53] Brooke Morgan surveyed booths at the Survival and Prepper Show in Colorado that were stocked with boxes of ammunition, mounds of trauma medical kits and every type of knife imaginable. A self-described 30 year old lesbian from Indiana, Morgan is one of a new breed of Americans getting ready to survive

[00:08:12] political upheaval and natural catastrophes. Our pursuit that until recently was largely associated with far right wing movements. And then, of course, they have to put such as white nationalists since the 1980s. The fact of the matter is that most people in the prepper

[00:08:31] and the survival movement are not white nationalists. Right. And and that's a slur on a whole movement of people. And they've been trying to make that association and they have done so, I think, to some success. But, you know, because of covid

[00:08:50] and because most Americans now are living pretty much in poverty because of the imploding economy that no one is fixing and helping them fix. I think that a lot of Americans are realizing that they have to be a little bit more resilient and they're becoming preppers.

[00:09:08] And these and these people come from every walk and strain of life, right? You know, from I've seen people on the progressive side who are now calling themselves preppers. They're learning about farming. They're learning about homesteading. They're learning about alternative ways to, you know, safeguard their money

[00:09:30] and not just banks and stuff like that. They're learning about, you know, self-defense firearms, you know, taking martial arts classes. You know, they're learning and they're trying to tie themselves into a bigger, you know, Intel community where if something probably, you know, if something really went down,

[00:09:52] then they've got Intel, reliable Intel. And that's a big thing. So and of course, you know, this has always been a big thing in the conservative movement because the conservatives are more about self-reliance. Right. And it's really amazing these slurs, right, that are out there politically. Right.

[00:10:15] And and that's why there's a lot of silent prepping going on because a lot of people realize that some may quite right. And, you know, and there's a lot of, you know, silent, you know, hardening of lives going on really right now.

[00:10:30] And a lot of people aren't really talking about what they're doing. Right. But, you know, the survival food is being bought up. Can't hardly keep that stuff on the shelves. Right. The, you know, so so it's really amazing to me

[00:10:46] to when you read the mainstream media and they always got it tied these ideas in into their own political narrative. That's why a lot of people don't necessarily believe them anymore. It's kind of like with, you know, they're trying to run all interference for Mr. Biden now. Right.

[00:11:03] For President Biden saying that a lot of the stuff that people are seeing, you know, these these videos of him freezing up and stuff like that are are are like deep fakes when, you know, it was he has been proven that one of the the the the videos

[00:11:20] that they've used to actually back up Mr. Biden was one of the ones they were calling a deep fake. So, you know, it it makes no sense. They're basically saying don't believe your eyes. And of course, the media will carry the water for them

[00:11:31] because they want Mr. Biden to win. And they've figured that the ends justifies the means. So they'll lie to the American people and they're gaslight the American people. And I think that the American people are now beginning. A lot of them are beginning to catch on.

[00:11:44] They've been red pilled. I think that the last two years have red pilled a lot of people in particular, right, because they're now working two, three jobs and they're living in a much, much more unsafe neighborhoods. You know, they're all across America.

[00:12:01] People are living in more unsafe neighborhoods, right? Because of crime and different things. So people, a lot of people have caught on. And that's why they're really worried about the election. But anyway, let's see. So this woman is a self described 30 year old lesbian from Indiana.

[00:12:17] Right. And they say researchers say that the number of preppers have doubled in size to about 20 million since 2017. There is a subset of that group that has decided the best way to prepare is to go off grid. It is being reported that more than 250,000 people in the US

[00:12:34] have chosen to adopt such a lifestyle as energy costs and home prices continue to rise. More Americans are choosing to live off grid, according to one estimate, more than 250,000 people in the US have an off grid lifestyle. While the potential cost savings are certainly attractive,

[00:12:52] technology and interest in tiny homes, shipping container homes and other energy efficient housing alternatives are allowing families interested in sustainable lifestyles to move off grid, living moved to off grid living. And it says here, let's see. For example, about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City,

[00:13:18] hundreds of survivalists are living in a very large community that is completely off the grid. A community of society shunning Americans launched a survivalist haven in the Utah desert after finding themselves alienated from the modern world. Hundreds of people have set themselves up to live off the land

[00:13:36] under Operation Self Reliance, feeling that getting off off the grid is the solution to a crumbling culture. This particular community was originally founded by a 74 year old man named Philip Gleason, and he is warning that a variety of apocalyptic scenarios could play out in the coming years.

[00:13:55] Gleason said he fears a variety of apocalyptic scenarios could play out over the coming years from a power grid failure taking down America's electricity to nuclear war and cyber attacks. This is just history repeating itself, he cautioned. At the start of any cultural revolution, the people that control

[00:14:14] their food are the ones that come out on top as Americans consistently share that they're losing faith in the nation's institutions. Those that have made a new life on Riverbed Ranch have essentially set up their own self surviving nation state. And so a lot of people, right?

[00:14:37] A lot of people are growing off grid. And here is one other person, Heather Greaser, and her husband once owned a large home near Denver. But now they're much happier living an off grid lifestyle. Ten years ago, I was living a typical suburban life on the outskirts

[00:14:55] of Denver, my husband, my husband Casey and I were both teachers. We lived in a four bedroom house with a small yard where two kids like to play. Today, our life looks radically different. We live entirely off the grid in a 300 square foot home

[00:15:10] that we built from straw bales and cob and natural building material made from soil, water and other organic matter. We rely on solar power for electricity and rain collection for water. And we use a drop toilet to create human manure compost made from human waste.

[00:15:28] We've left the conventional world behind, but along the way, we've created a much more luxurious and free lifestyle than the one we were living in suburbia. So that's one couple that pretty much left there. What you would probably consider a comfortable middle class life

[00:15:47] to, you know, pretty much go homesteading, right? Because that's what that really is. It's homesteading. You go off grid and you, you know, you grow your own food and you you homestead. Right. So a lot of people

[00:16:01] are kind of getting that, you know, the spider senses are tingling. And a lot of folks all across the United States are making the choice. So if you're new to this, you're not alone. I want to and if you're an old hand, you're not crazy.

[00:16:17] Right. It is best to be prepared because as you know, as as James would say here, right, if you're prepared, then you're not scared. Right. A lot of the hosts and PBN echo that sentiment. Right. Being prepared means that you're not scared.

[00:16:37] Right. It means that you can handle whatever life nature, you know, throws at you and people throw at you. Right. And you'd be able to be there for your family. OK, so I kind of wanted to drop that in because,

[00:16:52] you know, I think that a lot of times we think that we're in isolation or we're the small group and everything else. And that's really not the case. OK, that's really not the case. As a matter of fact, if, you know, the preppers and survivalists, right,

[00:17:10] if we really came together and voted as a block, think about it. If we all voted as a block, right, you know, we'd be pretty powerful, actually. All right. So let's switch to, you know, World War Three, right,

[00:17:26] which is being fought, although most of the world is asleep right now. Right. But if you've been following the news and and really keyed into the right things, you know that World War Three is underway.

[00:17:37] It's just a matter of time before it goes nuclear or or it goes biological. Right. Most likely, you know, nuclear. It seems like it's shaping up to be. So let's read this story says developing a Chinese nuclear armed submarine surfaces near Taiwan.

[00:17:56] And this is on the end times headlines. Dot org. It's also been on other platforms as well. And it says China's menacing military submarine designed for carrying nuclear warheads has been seen surfacing in the Taiwan strait. The one that will be eleven thousand ton humpback sub

[00:18:16] appeared alongside several other warships as Chinese President Xi Jinping continues to ramp up his nuclear arsenal at a blistering pace. The Chinese Liberation Navy sub was said to have surfaced near a group of fishermen in a popular fishing district at around five a.m. on Thursday morning.

[00:18:37] The huge Jin class vessel was seen along the median line of the Taiwan Strait with reports from Taiwanese media saying it looked in distress. The type zero nine four nuclear sub slowly came up to the surface

[00:18:54] where it sat still in the water for several minutes, claimed the locals. A second Chinese ship swiftly arrived as it appeared to help the sub as they both drifted off moments later towards mainland China. More military vessels were later seen completing the journey around

[00:19:09] the humpback sub. It has been reported. It is unclear what the issue with the powerful sub was or if it was armed at the time. Pictures show a mammoth submarine floating partly on the surface of the Taiwan Strait.

[00:19:24] The giant vessel, which is 135 meters long and costs a whopping seven hundred and fifty million dollars, right, is said to be the largest ship ever built. Only six of the quiet and stealthy vessels exist, according to China. They're dubbed humpback subs for their distinctly designed hull,

[00:19:45] which can store up to 12 nuclear missiles. President Xi has been overseeing a rapid rise in China's nuclear arsenal in recent recent months. Fears are increasing over what China is stockpiling over what China is supplying the terrifying weapons for with them

[00:20:03] set to have as many intercontinental ballistic missiles as the US and Russia by 2030. So China is ramping up and doing its thing. And of course, they're always menacing, right? They're always menacing Taiwan. And, you know, we've been reporting on the Taiwan issue, whether or not,

[00:20:23] you know, they're going to go or not. So, you know, it's it's been in, you know, stasis, right? It's been in a holding pattern here now for at least three years. It's going to be interesting to see what occurs, right?

[00:20:39] I think the Chinese are figuring that they can play a waiting game and everything else, draining the US resources, as we said, in billions, not only to Ukraine and billions, not only to Israel, but trillions and billions right to to Taiwan as well.

[00:20:57] So, you know, we are draining our own resources, trying to keep all these wars from, you know, from blossoming around the world, right? You know, because, you know, it's in our interest to pretty much keep these other world powers in check.

[00:21:14] But it's costing us a lot of money. And, you know, here with the Chinese threatening, right? Then we send resources to China, right? Will it be armaments or personnel or money? Right. To Taiwan, right? We send all these all these resources to Taiwan.

[00:21:33] And of course, that weakens us here in the United States. So, you know, it's an interesting game that is being played out, you know, on the world stage right now. So that's the Chinese there. They're still carrying out their long game for Taiwan.

[00:21:51] And, you know, we'll see where that one goes. Now, let's switch to what Russia is doing here in in the Caribbean, right? And I know that some of the hosts on PBN had talked about this. Right. But we know that they've been

[00:22:17] dispatching now vessels into the Caribbean Sea. And, you know, and that's just Russia is reminding us that they can reach out and touch us here in the continental United States. And so let's just read a little bit from this article

[00:22:33] that's published on the all news pipeline dot com. And it says here was published June 15th and war at our door. Literally, Russian warships and nuclear sub in Cuba could annihilate all of America before U.S. assets in the area could stop them by Sula

[00:22:52] and Eucluse. And it says while the media is busy, busy false, they're claiming that U.S. assets in the area are capable of mitigating threats to America from Russian warships and a nuclear submarine in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S..

[00:23:05] What they aren't admitting is that a nuclear strike against America can hit us in about two minutes. No warning, no chance to get out of the way, only being able to pray it isn't a direct hit or close enough for radiation

[00:23:19] to take you out in a brutally painful way. In the meantime, while the U.S. led NATO might be on Russia's doorstep, an American response will do far less damage to Russia's people than a Russian nuclear strike on America would do to us,

[00:23:36] because as we have previously noted, Russia has updated their nuclear bunkers for their citizenry, while America's underground bunkers are only meant for the nation leaders, military and their families. Yes, Russia has been at our door before, but only once when tensions have been have been this high

[00:23:54] during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But Biden is not JFK. Biden doesn't even know where he is right now, right? And he does not have a naval blockade around Cuba, nor did the U.S. spend considerable effort to poke at the Russian president in every given opportunity

[00:24:11] while butting into the Russian nuclear Ukraine war. Also, weapons, including nuclear weapons, were not as advanced as they are in the present day. And it says here's an excerpt from Fox News. And I'll read that fleets Russia's fleet of warships in Cuba

[00:24:30] poses a limited threat to the U.S. mainland and its Navy, an expert said. But the move by Russian President Vladimir Putin is far from unprecedented. Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery told Fox News Digital that U.S. assets in the area are more than capable of outmaneuvering

[00:24:49] the three warships and low nuclear submarine that arrived in Cuba on Wednesday. There have been three of these incidents in the past 20 years. So it's a traditional normal size deployment, despite being infrequent, Montgomery said, though he did note the inclusion of the submarine is somewhat interesting.

[00:25:10] And he says here, I'm sure that the people of Florida or any other place Russia is capable of hitting with while 90 miles from the U.S. are comforted to know that should Russia nuke them, we'll be able to attack that nuclear submarines afterwards. Real comforting, yes.

[00:25:30] And he says below, we delve into a warning from someone who knows Russia far better than Biden, redeem somebody from the KGB. And he says. A Jack Barsky tells News Nation, you've got to be worried about this kind of stuff.

[00:25:48] You can't look at this as just a routine exercise. It has to be seen against the background where Putin is stating that he actually that that he's actually fighting the West in the Ukraine. Made no mistake, if Russia launches a nuke at the U.S.,

[00:26:04] it'll be no accident, but rather a direct order from Putin. Since the U.S. is not only meddling in Russia's region where arming their enemy and recent reports indicate that the Biden regime, whatever lunatic is actually running things, have agreed to allow U.S.

[00:26:21] weapons to be used by Ukraine to attack inside of Russia. And he says the Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia solely near the area of Kharkov, using nuclear U.S. provided weapons.

[00:26:38] Three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said there is a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second largest city. And all of this is a gross miscalculation. The Russians have a first strike policy in place.

[00:27:00] Most Americans are not aware of that, you know, that the Russians, if they feel that their sovereignty is being threatened, then they're going to attack first. And with hypersonic weapons and with weapons that, you know, if if it only takes two minutes from somewhere near Cuba,

[00:27:20] from a Russian submarine, right, to hit, you know, cities along the mainland coast, north north coast of the U.S., right. Then, you know, we're playing with fire. And you can see why the spider senses and so many people are tingling, right?

[00:27:40] Not only on the economic front, but also, you know, geopolitically what's going on, right. You know, I think it's tough when you lie, right. It is really tough when you lie. And the media has lied to the public for for decades now.

[00:27:55] And over the last six, eight, you know, over the last eight years, I need to say that they've really ramped up the lying. And it's hard to walk all that lying back. In some cases, they really can't, whether it be the New York Times,

[00:28:07] the Washington Post and MSNBC, any of these media outlets. Right. They can't really walk those lies back. And right now, like in Europe, right, the politicians who have been aided and abetted by the liberal media for a really long time,

[00:28:25] because the liberal media, you know, really love the politicians that have been elected over the last eight, you know, say the last decade. Right. They're you know, all their policies match up with what the media, you know, CEOs of these companies,

[00:28:40] various companies, media like companies, thousands of them. Right. Agree with, you know, and they've really backed a lot of these people to the Hill in a lot of cases, lying for these people, suppressing, you know, information that should have been, you know,

[00:28:59] you know, neutrally like released to the public so that the public could make up its own mind. You know, with a lot of these folks, what they believe is that they should tell us what we need to believe. Right.

[00:29:11] They they they figure that we are too dumb to sort through the facts ourselves. And, you know, and they're the ones that are the shepherds, so to speak. Right. The purveyors of democracy and freedom in the West,

[00:29:27] when it's just really what they're really espousing and they really can't see it. They can't see the forest for the trees. Right. What they're espousing is a form of fascism. Right. And a lot of people are beginning to realize that, yeah,

[00:29:39] when you're only allowed to speak in one way and believe in one thing and you only can express yourself publicly one way is fascism. The very thing that they're accusing their enemies of knowing. Right.

[00:29:56] You know, so they a lot of these leaders now can't walk any of this stuff back. Right. It's been it's been released to the media and a lot of papers and things have been leaked. Right.

[00:30:11] Out there now that shows that for a long time, Russia has been proposing peace treaty after peace treaty and peace talks after peace talks. And a lot of these peace talks have been rejected because,

[00:30:22] you know, the West won't they don't want to acknowledge that they've gotten their asses whooped pretty much. Right. They've been whooped. You know, they've been outthought, outthought and outlasted by their enemies and and and they can't admit that.

[00:30:40] And, you know, there comes a time, right, with a song so you got to know when to hold them, you got to know when to fold them, you got to know when to walk away. Right. And a lot of our modern leaders don't have that type of pragmatism.

[00:30:54] They don't have that kind of clear headed thinking because they've been stroked into belief for a very long time that they're almost untouchable. Right. That, you know, there's this hubris out there that they all have. And that's why Germany and France.

[00:31:16] Right. And all of these European countries, including England, all these European countries have really gone down the wrong path on this. And, you know, and when you read stories of the conscriptions now, right, that Germany is pretty much they're going to be conscripting people,

[00:31:36] you know, and here in the US, we're going to be doing the same thing because all these bills now that are circulating in all the parliaments, all across the world, I think that, you know, deep down in the vaults of these people, intelligence agencies,

[00:31:54] they probably realize that there is a really strong possibility that we're going to be in a shooting war here soon. And that is because they cannot leave the there. You know, they cannot leave the prevailing philosophy behind. Right. Of backing away from all of these wars.

[00:32:13] We've sunk trillions of dollars into the war with Ukraine. Can you imagine Mr. Biden having to tell the American people that we're going to we have to walk away from the war? We've pretty much lost the war after spending all this money

[00:32:28] and sending all of these resources and have weakened our own nation. Consequently, while the Russians have basically gotten stronger. Right. They they've created a different monetary system. You know, they're making alliances with people that, you know, used to be shunned.

[00:32:53] Right. They just signed a war pact with North Korea. Not good. Right. So, you know, they're solidifying behind, you know, a lot of these people who used to be, you know, who are traditionally enemies of the West. You're right. And and they they've pretty much outmaneuvered.

[00:33:16] Right. They've outmaneuvered the West so far, so far. And pressing this war doesn't seem to be getting the results. And this whole thing of, you know, let's see how how further we can push this thing, if we can fire some rockets in and hit some of their main

[00:33:40] assets and hurt them. Right. You know, maybe we can, you know, we can weaken them. But at some point, they're going to fire and hit the wrong asset. And then the Russians are going to retaliate. Right. Well, you know, I mean, think about it.

[00:33:58] The Russians at this point are free to hit any target within Europe, continental Europe. They can legally say, hey, you know what? These tanks came from the UK. These missiles were from X country here. Publicly, the United States and Europe and Germany have OKed

[00:34:21] the Ukrainians to bomb our country. So then the enemy of my enemy is my enemy. Right. Hence, if they hurt us, then we can hurt them. So what if? You know, we bomb one of their major military facilities and they bomb a major military facility in the UK.

[00:34:41] What are the what are the English people going to do about that? What are you going to say? We're going to go to war with Russia. Are they going to say, OK, NATO now put troops on the ground because that is a nuclear confrontation. The minute they put

[00:34:55] troops on the ground, they're going to be nuked. And this whole thing, that's why a lot. I don't think the Europeans, like a lot of Europeans, really understand that the NATO troops are a joke, right? Because, yeah, they can muster over a million men.

[00:35:10] But those million men are going to be nuked. So, you know, none of this really makes sense. If you look at this with a clear head, you know, when NATO is like, you know, we can fight a conventional, they really believe that Russia

[00:35:22] is going to fight a conventional war with them while they hurt them internally in their country and ain't going to happen. They're going to say, OK, you know what? We can hurt you seriously and take you completely out of the game.

[00:35:38] And that's what I think most likely that they would do. Right. Yeah. All right. I just wanted to also touch on and in another podcast, we'll talk about that. And that is the growing terror threat inside the United States,

[00:35:57] because as we say, you know, we're trying to be pragmatic and clear headed and realistic about the different things, right, that we talk about here on the show. Right. But the spider senses are tingling. A lot of people are now reading reading books about how to become preppers

[00:36:16] and coming to websites and and coming to organizations such as PBN to learn more about, you know, what I can do to hard my own home and lifestyle. And my question is, right, what if you wake up tomorrow and there's no electricity? Would you be OK?

[00:36:36] Or would you be able to function for an extended period of time? And if the answer to that is no, then you've got to put you got to take steps. You got to put plans in place so that you're not completely paralyzed

[00:36:49] and starving, you know, and at the mercy of the government. Right. And local agencies for aid. Right. You're you and your family, because that that puts you in a really bad way. OK. All right. So, you know, yeah. So as I said, right,

[00:37:09] I know I've taken up enough of your time, but hopefully you've gotten, you know, you've you've you've got some food for thought from this discussion. You know, the war, there are three major wars being fought over the planet right now. Right. You know, different corners of the planet.

[00:37:25] You have the Israeli Hamas war, which is going to be expanding, by the way. I think at some point they're going to be going into Lebanon and that's going to expand and that's going to carry its own complications. When that occurs, you have the China Taiwan situation

[00:37:41] where, you know, China wants to grow its territory. And right now they've got their eyes on Taiwan. And for me, I just think it's inevitable. I think that we're going to sink trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars into that.

[00:37:56] But the Chinese are going to get what they're going to, you know, they're going to get what they want. And of course, we're poking the bear, so to speak, with Russia. Right. We're poking that bear. They've got submarines now off or off the Atlantic coast.

[00:38:08] And if and most Americans are not aware of that, it's amazing that so many Americans are on their phones and on social media. Right. You know, five hundred and fifty what million Americans, right. Or a little bit more on that at this point.

[00:38:24] And how many people are really aware of what's going on geopolitically? Really, really seriously aware of these serious threats, the situation that we're in. Most people, it seems they get up every day, they they scan the news that they like, which is mostly progressive

[00:38:47] and liberal news, that they'll scan that, which has nothing, you know, contrary right to, you know, like nothing that will cause them concern and they'll go about their days and they look at that they'll see other people who are alarmed. And they say those people are nut cases.

[00:39:04] Look at them extreme. Look at all these people running around all these nut cases. Right. And and they're completely clueless as to what the real situation you know, is. And that's and that's scary. That's really scary. OK. Anyway, these are serious times and serious times require serious people.

[00:39:27] So I say prepare and make sure that you and your family are, you know, can can be safe. And and of course, right, if you've heard anything here that you that you find you found valuable and you know,

[00:39:41] and you know people who would find any of this stuff valuable, then please pass this around. OK, let people know about us. Let people know about PPN. OK. All right. So this is where I'm going to leave it.
