The article argues that China’s open-source AI strategy will “crush” the U.S. AI industry and cause a collapse in the semiconductor market. It is written by a self-described AI platform developer who claims to run open-source models on a 48-workstation mini data center and who asserts that China’s frontier open-weight models will deliver near-identical capability to U.S. offerings at zero download/run cost for users with sufficient hardware, or at a fraction of the cost of U.S. models. The author claims U.S. providers will respond by raising prices and shifting to per-token billing, which they expect to trigger customer churn away from U.S. companies. A central conditional argument is that open weights alone are insufficient for most users because local execution requires expensive hardware, but the article contends that consumer-accessible inference capacity will change in 2027. It cites AMD’s announced “Gorgon Halo” design with 192GB of unified memory (with 160GB usable as VRAM) and Apple’s Mac Studio configuration with up to 512GB unified memory, noting that Apple allegedly reduced the maximum available tier to 256GB because of a global RAM shortage. The article also claims AMD will later ship a “Medusa Halo” platform with a rumored 256GB of VRAM and over 512GB/s memory bandwidth, while warning that LPDDR6 scarcity will keep such systems expensive. It further argues that AMD has “fractured” Nvidia’s CUDA advantage by offering ROCm, described as compatible with PyTorch and already adopted by inference software providers such as Ollama and vLLM. To support the practical feasibility of local model use, the article states that with 256GB local VRAM, users could run large coding models such as Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B and squeeze models like GLM 5.2 into a 2-bit quantization. It adds that improved KV-cache compression reduces the need to reserve large amounts of VRAM for context, including prompts plus retrieved research documents. The author also claims that top AI research breakthroughs are increasingly originating in China, pointing to technique examples such as sparse attention, KV cache compression, and “manifold constrained hyper-connections.” The article ties these claims to a broader hardware-and-cost competition narrative. It argues that after an “AI infrastructure investment bubble” bursts, high-end Nvidia hardware will no longer be economically justified, predicting that Nvidia GPUs could become available at drastically discounted prices. It cites statements attributed to Dario Amodei of Anthropic as evidence of U.S. attempts to seek protectionism against open source, while also alleging that major U.S. companies have already adopted Chinese open models, including claims that Coinbase defaults to GLM 5.2, Airbnb uses Qwen, and Cursor was built using Kimi K2.5, along with Shopify using Qwen3. Beyond model access, the article emphasizes China’s infrastructure advantage in electricity and data-center scalability. It asserts China has more than twice the power-grid size of the U.S. combined grids and charges substantially lower rates, claiming around 30 cents/kWh in parts of the Eastern U.S. versus less than 12 cents/kWh for Chinese commercial users and under 8 cents/kWh for residential customers. It further argues that China can train models without Nvidia GPUs due to Huawei’s Ascend chips, claiming Zhipu AI trained GLM-5 family models end-to-end on 100% Huawei Ascend 910B processors. It adds that community tests purportedly show GLM 5.2 outperforming Anthropic’s Opus on real-world tasks. The article concludes that attempts to outlaw or restrict Chinese open models would be ineffective and potentially trigger legal and business backlash, while also arguing that cutting access would disadvantage U.S. researchers. It ends by urging readers to download Chinese AI models from Hugging Face, to keep them available while awaiting local hardware improvements, and by promoting the author’s own open/free AI projects.

Article Cover

Why China's Open Source AI Will Crush the U.S. Industry and Collapse the Semiconductor Bubble

Why China's Open Source AI Strategy Is Going to Crush the U.S. AI Industry and Collapse the Semiconductor Bubble

I am an accomplished AI platform developer. I've used all the popular models, and I run a 48-workstation mini data center with various GPUs, running open source models for a variety of tasks. I'm here to tell you that, without question, China's open source models are going to crush the U.S. AI industry, leading sooner or later to a stock valuation collapse as it sinks in that nobody will consistently pay for AI inference from U.S. companies when they can receive nearly the exact same level of capability and intelligence from China's models at either ZERO cost (download the models and run them yourself), or at a tiny fraction of the cost of U.S. models (typically from 1/50th to 1/100th the cost of U.S. models).

In response to this, U.S. AI companies are dramatically raising their prices and switching customer plans to per-token pricing in order to maximize their own revenues. This is only going to work against them and will lead to a mass exodus away from U.S. AI companies. In fact, that exodus has already begun (see below).

But there's something else that's critical to understand here.

You can easily download the open weights of China's frontier AI models like DeepSeek V4, GLM 2.5, etc. But unless you have access to very expensive server hardware costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can't run those models locally.

256GB AI Inference Systems Are Coming to the Desktop

In 2027, however, that picture changes dramatically. AMD has announced it will launch "Gorgon Halo" (a revamped Strix Halo) with 192GB of unified memory (160GB can be used as VRAM).

Apple has its "Apple Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) with up to 512GB of unified memory (at 819GB/s memory bandwidth, which is respectable). Unfortunately, due to the global RAM shortage, Apple pulled the 512GB version off the market and now sells a max memory configuration of 256GB (which is still a lot for unified RAM).

Even more interestingly, in 2027, AMD will be rolling out "Medusa Halo" with a rumored 256GB of VRAM and over 512GB/s memory bandwidth). This one will run on LPDDR6 high bandwidth memory, which is scarce and expensive, so these systems won't be cheap, but they'll still be a fraction of the cost of today's Nvidia server GPU setups.

Helping to pry inference shops away from NVIDIA hardware, AMD fractured NVIDIA's CUDA moat by releasing its "ROCm" stack, which replaces CUDA with open source software that allows GPU computing on AMD silicon. It is fully compatible with PyTorch and has already been adopted by Ollama and vLLM (two popular AI inference software providers). No word yet from LM Studio.

At 256GB of local VRAM, you'd be able to run very capable coding models like Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B. You could even squeeze GLM 5.2 into the system in a 2-bit quant, and I'd imagine that the clever folks at Unsloth are going to come up with even more creative ways to run large models on medium-sized hardware using things like selective layer offloading or advanced pruning algos.

With 256GB, you could easily run MiniMax-M1, or GLM 4.6, or a huge number of other models. And thanks to KV cache compression techniques that keep improving, you no longer need to reserve a huge amount of GPU VRAM for context (meaning the prompt itself plus whatever you provide the model along with the prompt, such as research documents or RAG). DeepSeek was the first company to publish a science paper on this breakthrough, followed by Google a few months later, using a different technique.

And that's the other important point in all this: The best science on AI is now consistently originating in China, not the USA. Whether it's sparse attention algos on the inference side, KV cache compression or "manifold constrained hyper-connections" (mHC) on the model training side, the best breakthroughs in 2026 are no longer originating in America. Many are coming from China, and I predict that in 2027, China surpasses U.S. AI competency and never look back.

The upshot of all this is astounding: China will crush the U.S. AI market by making world-class machine cognition available for (nearly) free, while NVIDIA's competitors (like AMD or Apple) will ship the hardware that allows people to run those models on their own desks, at a fraction of the cost of buying NVIDIA server hardware.

Jensen Huang can announce all the high-end, expensive NVIDIA hardware he wants, but when the AI infrastructure investment bubble bursts, there won't be "other people's money" flowing out of the ground like an oil gusher to fund overpriced hardware. Post-bubble, AI inference hardware has to earn its keep. It has to make economic sense, in other words. And the high-end NVIDIA hardware no longer makes economic sense. (Prediction: Post-bubble, you'll be able to pick up NVIDIA GPUs for ten cents on the dollar...)

Back to the AI models and the extreme competition from China, this is also why Dario Amodei of Anthropic is begging the U.S. government for protectionism policies, claiming that open source is dangerous and needs to be banned. It's like 17th century European candle makers begging the government to outlaw glass windows, claiming they are a security threat.

But Amodei is too late. Hefty U.S. corporate giants are already switching to China's open source models. Coinbase now defaults to using GLM 5.2. Airbnb uses Qwen. Cursor was built using Kimi K2.5. Shopify uses Qwen3.

And of course, my own AI platforms like BrightLearn.ai rely on entirely open source models, along with a colossal, unique in-house index of hundreds of millions of research documents that were cleaned and repaired using open source AI models.

China's Power Grid Infrastructure Advantage

Even if you just consider the cost of cloud-based models, without running them locally, China has a key structural advantage in the fact that its national power grid is more than twice the size of the U.S. combined grids, and that China's power grid is more reliable, scalable and affordable. Electricity rates in Eastern U.S. states are approaching 30 cents / kWh, while in China, commercial users pay less than 12 cents / kWh. (And residential customers pay less than 8 cents.) This means China can build and operate large-scale inference data centers that vastly out-compete U.S. AI companies on a global scale.

It also means China can train models at far lower cost. And where China's lack of access to NVIDIA GPUs used to be an insurmountable barrier to entry, China's Huawei is mass producing microchips on such a scale that it doesn't matter if each individual chip is less powerful than an NVIDIA GPU. Just recently, Zhipu AI (creators of the remarkable GLM-5 family of models) announced it had trained its model end-to-end on 100% Huawei Ascend 910B processors, using no NVIDIA silicon at all.

Tests of GLM 5.2 by community experts show it to actually beat Anthropic's Opus 4.8 on real-world tasks, from coding full software applications to building user interfaces. It is arguably the strongest model yet to come out of China. (I'm actually a fan of DeepSeek-V4 and I use Qwen models every day for a variety of tasks, including their VL Vision Language models.)

In summary, China benefits from several key structural advantages over the USA:

1) One-third the electricity costs of the USA.

2) Open-ended scalability for building data centers.

3) Ability to train and fine-tune models on non-NVIDIA silicon.

4) A large number of highly competent mathematics and engineering graduates every year.

The USA, in contrast, has:

1) A White House that knows nothing about AI and spontaneously bans AI models from public use (such as Anthropic's Fable 5).

2) An Eastern power grid that's completely maxed out and cannot handle any more data centers added to the current loads.

3) A culture of secrecy and greed, rather than knowledge sharing, resulting in a lack of propagation of worthy ideas in the AI space.

4) A financialization cult that prioritizes IPOs and quick profits over building anything that endures over time.

This is why China is already winning the AI wars. And it's why the USA cannot win. It's a cultural fault. The USA is a culture of quick profits, investment schemes, IPO bubbles and public relations spin. None of those things result in stronger AI models, it turns out, and China simply has more engineers, more electricity, more microchip manufacturing capability, a better supply chain for hardware and a proven track record of innovation that repeatedly renders western technology irrelevant.

Outlawing the Models Won't Work

Even if Trump attempts to outlaw Chinese open source models, that action alone would crater the U.S. stock market because so many U.S. business giants already depend on Chinese AI models to cut costs and operate more efficiently. On top of that, any effort to ban Chinese AI models would be met with an instant flurry of First Amendment lawsuits, "Come And Take It" rebellion across the IT industry, and guerilla distribution networks cropping up everywhere.

Any such ban would also prove decisive for China's victory in the race to superintelligence, because taking China's open source models away from U.S. researchers would be like cutting off the arms of competitive tennis players and asking them to win the championship anyway. (Very difficult to serve the ball with your feet alone.)

So, in the end, the U.S. AI industry already screwed itself. And with high-screwage characters like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman currently driving a lot of U.S. government policy, we can rest assured that the beatings will continue until morale improves.

My final advice? Download every Chinese AI model you can from Hugging Face. Better yet, look for uncensored variations that are "abliterated" by dedicated users like Heretic, HuiHui, or Pliny the Liberator who is a world class jailbreaking expert whose knowledge also helps remove guardrails. (Personally, I run Qwen 3.6-27B-Heretic-Uncensored for a lot of tasks.) Keep these downloaded models safe while you wait for the hardware to get shipped that can run those models.

I'm the person who built BrightLearn.ai (the world's most popular book creation engine now serving 13,000+ authors with nearly 70,000 books, all free to download in multiple languages) and BrightAnswers.ai (our deep research AI engine trained on natural health, preparedness, true history, honest money, etc.)

All the AI tools I build are free to use and are open to the world. I believe in open source knowledge, bypassing government censorship and making knowledge free to everyone. Follow me on X at HealthRanger, and read my articles at NaturalNews.com

Mel K joined me to talk about her new book that documents the Operation Paper Clip Nazi takeover of America, initiated during WWII. You are living under the Fourth Reich right now (also the title of a book by Jim Marrs). https://t.co/3vsahLyPIB

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 argues that the United States lacks full sovereignty because an intentional “supranational architecture” created in the last 10 years surrounding World War II remains in place above the nation. They claim this architecture “came into play before world war ii ever ended,” and say their belief—supported by “real documents” they include in a book—is that World War III and much of what is happening now was planned before the end of World War II. Speaker 1 traces this to the Dulles brothers—“three americans,” including “two wall street lawyer brothers from Sullivan and Cromwell, known as the Dulles brothers,” and another Wall Street lawyer, McKittrick, who ran the Bank of International Settlements during World War II. They further claim that architects from the EU (Europe, including Germany), the city of London, and multiple banking institutions helped create a supranational architecture and supranational intelligence agency architecture that has “worked for it ever since,” with the people of the United States “pay[ing] for it all since World War II.” They also say that “these 18 months near the end of World War II ended the sovereignty of the United States of America,” and that the country is still “stuck in that today.” Speaker 0 expands the claim to other countries, saying the end of World War II also ended Japan’s sovereignty, that Japan has been occupied “even to this day,” and that the U.S. dictates terms including that Japan must “buy U.S. treasuries” and “float the dollar no matter what happens to your economy.” Speaker 0 also cites Taiwan as another example and asks how these impacts extend to the rest of the world. Speaker 1 answers by stating “Switzerland was not neutral,” and says that World War I “seems to me to have been a false flag.” They reference Smedley Butler’s post–World War I warning that “all wars are banker's wars” from the book *War is a Racket*, and claim that endless war for profit became an “operating manual” for a “supranational architecture” they call an “international banking cartel” and its global public-private partners. Speaker 1 links this to the creation of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), describing it as set up for reparations after World War I, but claiming that BIS “refunded Hitler's army.” They say the Dulles brothers, particularly John Foster Dulles, worked for international banks and represented relationships between Nazi Germany and the United States, including Standard Oil of New Jersey and IG Farben, and helped rebuild Germany’s military after World War I to allow for World War II. Speaker 1 further claims that BIS served as a meeting point during World War II among “Nazi bankers” and “American bankers,” including the city of London and German bankers, while a continent was “pillaged” and “60 million people” were affected. They say Switzerland conducted “business as usual,” taking in money from the Nazis that was taken from Czechoslovakia and elsewhere into BIS. They also claim that Alan Dulles ran the OSS out of Switzerland “hand-in-hand with the Nazi bankers and the Nazi intelligence people” and that the “Bank of England” created the post–World War II international financial architecture that “fed off of the same families” associated with the Federal Reserve under Wilson.

Speaker 1: And here's the problem, that we have to be very honest about what we don't know about our country, because it was all by design. And for me, I feel like we are being hit from all sides in a situation where the same architecture that I outline in my book that was created in the last 10 years surrounding World War II is still in place above our nation. And it's a supranational architecture. And unfortunately, it came into play before world war ii ever ended and it's my belief and i put all the real documents in the book that world war iii and a lot of what we're living through now was planned before the end of world war ii and unfortunately a lot of roads lead back to three americans a two wall street lawyer brothers from Sullivan and Cromwell, known as the Dulles brothers, and another Wall Street lawyer, McKittrick, who ran the Bank of International Settlements during World War II. And the three of them, I believe, along with architects from the now EU, but from Europe, Germany, of course, but also the city of London and multiple different banking institutions around the world, I believe, created a supranational architecture and then created a supranational intelligence agency architecture, which has worked for it ever since. And we, the people of the United States, I believe have paid for it all since World War II. So it's really important people understand these 18 months near the end of World War II ended the sovereignty of the United States of America. And we are still stuck in that today. Speaker 0: Wow. Wow. Okay. So let me expand that also. Everything you said really resonates with our audience. No question about it. But I would say also that the end of World War II ended the sovereignty of Japan, obviously, and we have occupied Japan ever since, even to this day. We dictate to Japan that you have to buy U.S. treasuries, you have to float the dollar no matter what happens to your economy. And there are other examples like that, Taiwan, for example. Can you speak also to how this has impacted the rest of the world? Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely. So what we need to know first and foremost is that Switzerland was not neutral. If people still don't understand that Switzerland was not neutral. In fact, if you go back to World War I and really what set World War I off, kind of seems to me to have been a false flag to kick that off. But you remember, and I'm sure your audience does, Smedley Butler came out after World War I and kind of warned the world that all wars are banker's wars. I think his book was called War is a Racket. And I believe that the model of endless war for profit became essentially the operating manual for the supranational architecture that I call the international banking cartel and their global public private partners. And you can trace it all the way back to the creation of the BIS, because after World War One, the whole there was a. dollars plan and a young plan out of it came the bank of international settlements it was set up for reparations you know uh... for germany to repay from what they had done but what really happened at the bank of international settlements is they refunded hitler's army and sadly enough uh... that was wall street refunding hitler's army And in many ways, the Dulles brothers, particularly John Foster Dulles, he worked at Sullivan and Cromwell. Well, Sullivan and Cromwell represented the international banks, particularly the relationships also of multinational corporations between Nazi Germany and the United States. His clients with Standard Oil of New Jersey and in Germany, IG Farben. had all kinds of different patents that they shared and agreements. They essentially refunded and helped to rebuild Germany's military in the wake of World War One to allow for World War Two. And we need to know that. And this Bank of International Settlements was at that table where the Nazi bankers and the American bankers and the city of London and the London bankers and the rest of the German bankers sitting around the table During the entire war where a continent was pillaged, people were murdered, 60 million people affected by the hell that was the fighting and of World War Two and the concentration camps and everything we know about it. Well, in Switzerland, they were acting as business as usual. I mean, they were taking in money from the Nazis that they took from Czechoslovakia and everywhere else into the Bank of International Settlements, and then they were doing business as usual, essentially, while Alan Dulles was running the OSS out of Switzerland and working most of the time hand-in-hand with the Nazi bankers and the Nazi intelligence people that were also in Switzerland, and the city of London, Montague Norman and... And the entire Bank of England was also there creating the post-World War II international financial architecture that really fed off of the same families that started and infiltrated our country under Wilson with the Federal Reserve. It was just the next level. Speaker 0: Bright videos.

Brandon Weichert joins us on Decentralize TV to discuss the following: How Trump causing global chaos is actually strengthening the dollar and causing capital flows into U.S. treasuries and markets. Todd calls it, "25-D chess, baby!" https://t.co/xHbsUiShaa

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 says Trump believed he could rapidly conquer Iran, comparing it to actions associated with Venezuela, but argues that events since then have created benefits for protecting the U.S. debt market. Speaker 0 attributes this to global chaos affecting fertilizer shortages, food issues, supply chains, and energy—oil and shortages affecting local refineries in countries like Bangladesh that cannot obtain inputs to make fertilizer. Speaker 0 claims this chaos pushes global liquidity toward safe havens, specifically the dollar, Treasuries, and the U.S. stock market. Speaker 0 also says that when oil rises internationally, countries must purchase oil in dollars, forcing them to spend local currencies to buy dollars, which he links to a rising dollar and falling local currencies in places like Korea and other countries, with capital flowing into the U.S. “temporarily.” Speaker 1 responds that any benefit is “blind luck” and describes Trump as not strategically planning “grand” schemes but acting as a “kinetic operator” and “counter puncher,” rolling with events. Speaker 1 says Trump’s adaptation helped him transition from bankruptcy to getting banks to bail him out in the 90s and credits tenacity to turning destructive situations into wins. However, Speaker 1 insists there are unintended consequences “of epic proportions,” not part of a plan, and says actions during the war were framed as inevitable victories. Speaker 1 highlights potential consequences including shortages and price hikes, while noting that people are celebrating a rapid global decline in oil prices and urging that the reasons for the decline matter. Speaker 1 claims oil prices are falling because markets are pricing in optimism based on belief in what the president says (“hopium”), and because when the Iranians closed the Strait of Hormuz, 500 or more ships became stuck in the waterway with supplies. Speaker 1 says analysts expected that when the strait reopens, a “mini glut” would occur because ships loaded before the war begin moving again and rush to exit the Middle East, depressing prices. Speaker 1 adds that only a few analysts have discussed a major factor: China, described as the largest Middle East oil consumer, “voluntarily took themselves off the market.” Speaker 1 claims China had a strategic petroleum reserve of 1.4 billion barrels at the war’s start and used it to become self-sufficient, draining at least a third of its SPR. Speaker 1 contrasts China’s above-ground, better-protected SPR infrastructure with the U.S. salt cavern approach, asserting that U.S. 340 million barrels left in SPR is “closer to 100 million barrels” due to degradation with depth. Speaker 1 says this withdrawal bought relief for the rest of the world and explains why forecasts for higher oil prices did not account for China removing itself from the market. Speaker 1 concludes that as China returns to the market, and if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened, prices will be pressured by too much demand and not enough supply.

Speaker 0: Trump thought he could conquer Iran very quickly, kind of like Venezuela. But since then, I think he's found some benefits in protecting the U.S. debt market. And I want to run this by you and get your feedback. It's really simple. By causing global chaos in all these ways that you've talked about, fertilizer shortages, food issues, supply chain, but also energy, not just gas, but energy. oil, and then local refineries in countries like Bangladesh not being able to get anything to make fertilizer. Trump has caused the kind of chaos that tends to cause global liquidity to seek a safe haven, which tends to be the dollar. It tends to be Treasuries and it tends to be the US stock market and also when oil goes up internationally those countries They tend to have to purchase oil in dollars. So they have to spend their local currencies to buy dollars to buy the oil So that's why we're seeing you know, the the Dixie rising the dollar going up local currencies in Korea and other places keep falling but all those capitals flowing into the US temporarily right now kind of makes Trump look good and Speaker 1: briefly 25 D chest baby well this gets me back to what I was going to say originally which is um any benefit that might be received is is um how shall I say is blind luck um because I really don't think Donald Trump I keep telling people this Donald Trump is America's id okay he's not he's not sitting around strategizing you know the grand plan there's nothing like that he's a kinetic operator he's a counter puncher by his own description and he's just sort of rolling with it now his ability to adapt is how he managed to go from being a guy going through bankruptcy into getting the banks to bail him out in the 90s which is one of the most impressive feats I've ever seen so to his credit the guy has tenacity and he can turn many of these very destructive situations into a win but I can guarantee you there are going to be unintended consequences of epic proportions for this country and I can guarantee you it is not part of a plan that he's just sort of like rolling with it and you know no matter what going into this war, no matter what, it was going to be the greatest victory ever. Okay. No matter what he was going to spin it, he was already doing it. You know, we beat Iran 30 times in the last three weeks. Uh, you know, this is it. And so admittedly you, yes, you're pointing out some, some really interesting shifts that are going on that could be amenable and I hope they are for our country. But fundamentally, we're doing it in a really slapdash haphazard way and there will be there will be unintended consequences. And we were talking earlier about some of those consequences, which is going to be shortages, price hikes. I know everybody's celebrating the fact that there's this rapid decline going on in the price of oil globally, but people need to understand the trends. The reason that price is going down, there's a few reasons. The first is because the market is run by idiots who believe everything the president tells them. Like Fox Mulder on the X-Files, they want to believe. They're pricing in optimism that's just hope you exactly it's hopium and so that's the first thing the second thing is Going into this war when the Iranians closed the Strait of Hormuz down there were like 500 or more ships that got stuck in that waterway could not move they were loaded with supplies and The market analysts that I know who were very savvy said from the beginning whenever this thing ends and that thing reopens there's going to be a mini glut is what they called it a mini glut of Basically because suddenly hey that's reopened. Maybe it's not fully reopened, but there's gonna be a lot of ships going through that were loaded before the war began. And they're going to be hustling to get back home because they want to GTFO out of the Middle East. So that is one of the reasons why you're seeing this decline. And then the biggest story that only two or three analysts, public analysts that I follow have talked about is something I've been talking about. When the war began, the Chinese, the largest consumer of Middle East oil, the Chinese voluntarily took themselves off the market. They had a strategic petroleum reserve of 1.4 billion barrels when the war began. So they were prepared for this very contingency, and they, I think, were looking at this war as a proof of concept. They wanted to see if they could really become self-sufficient because they're not a resource-rich country. They have to depend on imports, but I think they just proved They're coming out of this war. Yeah, they drained some of their SPR, not like we did. And their SPR, by the way, the physical infrastructure for China's SPR, I think is fundamentally better than our own. Whereas we pour all the excess oil into salt mines, we then have to inject that oil with all kinds of chemicals to keep it floating and maneuverable and keep the viscosity usable. The Chinese keep all theirs in above ground facilities and they're well protected and they're not manipulated the way that our SPR has to be manipulated. So when the government, the US government says, oh, we have about 340 million barrels left in our SPR, that might be technically true. But if you know anything about salt cavern storage of oil, really, it's closer to 100. That's right. It's really closer to 100 million barrels because the deeper you go down into that salt, uh... cavern the more corrupted if you will uh... the oil becomes in the less usable it is so the chinese will what were well prepared and they voluntarily pulled themselves off the market which bought the rest of the world a massive sigh of relief gave us a lot more wiggle room which is why when people like me were originally saying was going to go to a hundred fifty barrel dollars a barrel of two hundred fifty dollars a barrel At the time, we were not accounting for how significantly the Chinese would remove themselves from the market. That is why things went down when they should have been going up. But the Chinese have burned through, I think, at least a third of their SPR. They will come back onto the market soon enough. And when they do, if that straight is not fully reopened, and I fear it won't be, if that straight is not fully reopened, then everybody's going to be feeling the squeeze in terms of the price because there's going to be too much demand and not enough supply.

If the Strait does not reopen quickly and maintain its opening, everything gets more expensive and affects the availability of products beyond gas, including agricultural goods and the food people eat. Strained supply from the region also affects technology and other critical resources needed to build modern equipment. Semiconductor production depends on helium. Helium production has been knocked out due to the Strait of Hormuz being closed down and attacks during the Iran war on Gulf Arab states, notably Qatar, a major producer of helium. This creates concerns about shortages for semiconductors. A shortage of semiconductors could burst the “AI bubble.” The transcript links this to data centers and AI technology being a major reason the stock market keeps rising while other areas of the economy go badly. If the AI sector is disrupted by semiconductor shortages, it could bring the wider economy down. Agriculture, technology, and energy are described as fundamental building blocks of the modern economic model, and the transcript states they are being strained and broken. It also states there is no guarantee of restoring functionality to pre-war conditions soon for the Strait of Hormuz or for production facilities in the Gulf Arab states.

Speaker 0: the American empire being overextended. So the American empire looks strong, I think you'll agree, right up until the credit card declines. Brandon, for normal people at home, what does American overextension actually mean? for gas prices, supply chains, interest rates, food, energy, and personal freedom. Speaker 1: Well, that's the whole show. Go for it. In a one-liner, it means everything gets really, really, really unaffordable. I mean, it's already bad now, but it's going to get worse if, for instance, we can't get the Strait of Hormuz fully reopened and maintain its opening, you know, not just... know um no i'm sorry i just got a very strange message okay um but uh it is it is was it from the white house no it was from it was no it was from tucker but i i've never talked to him directly on offline okay um but um um anyway it's probably him saying he agrees with you is it no i think it is i think it is i'm gonna have to call him at the end of this uh but but anyway um it's gonna be more expensive That's the sort of the immediate term. If the straight does not reopen quickly and maintain its opening, then everything gets expensive and it will affect the availability of certain products like agricultural goods, not just gas, but the food we eat. things like technology, a lot of the underlying critical resources we need to build For instance, semiconductors, the computer chips for everything we use, well, they require helium. And what's one of the things that's been knocked out by the Strait of Hormuz being closed down and by the attacks during the Iran war on the Gulf Arab States, notably Qatar, which is a major producer of helium, helium production for the world has been knocked out. So you're already seeing concerns about shortages for semiconductors. And by the way, that will translate into The AI bubble possibly being burst because all of those data centers and all of the AI technology and everything we're developing for that sector of the economy, which is really that sector is the only reason the stock market keeps going crazy, considering everything else that's going badly for us. A shortage of semis could easily lead to a collapse of that AI bubble, which will then really bring the whole economy down. And this is all because... of the Iran war. I mean, you know, agriculture, technology, energy, these are sort of fundamental building blocks for the modern economic model. And they're all being strained and broken. And there is no guarantee that we're going to restore functionality to pre-war condition anytime soon in that part of the world for either Strait of Hormuz or for the production facilities in the Gulf Arab States.

Zach Vorhies on the "Zach-Adams Effect" DTV episode, revealing the truth about the strength of Chinese open source models vs. U.S. frontier AI models. (The gap is shrinking fast...) Full episode at http://Decentralize.TV (every Friday) https://t.co/GLQ100K6F4

Video Transcript AI Summary
The conversation centers on how quickly Chinese open AI models are advancing and whether China will reach or surpass AI leadership. Eric Schmidt is cited as making several timeline corrections after earlier claims that America was about five years ahead of Google’s AI relative to China; the gap was later revised from about a year to months and then to weeks. The discussion also references the release of models such as Babel and GLM 5.2 “neck and neck,” raising the question of whether a crossover point will occur and whether China will take the AI lead afterward. A key factor discussed is the AI inference hardware supply chain. Previously, NVIDIA was described as the dominant single supplier whose hardware ran AI inference. The speakers say other manufacturers are now figuring out how to make chips that aren’t NVIDIA, which would break a single-hardware bottleneck and shift toward a “plethora of chips” competing through an open market rather than a centralized hardware cartel. AMD is then discussed as a strong player in hardware for AI-related workloads. One speaker says AMD’s CEO “looks kind of like Jensen Huang” because they are described as cousins from the same Taiwan family, competing on different hardware branches. The focus is on AMD’s development of high-bandwidth, unified RAM and large memory capacity, including a 192 GB unified platform mentioned for “Strix Halo,” positioned as fast for personal use rather than replacing data centers. The speakers contrast hype claims that consumer hardware can fully substitute for data centers with the idea that it can still be useful. On local AI performance, the discussion turns to token throughput. One speaker argues that with limited token rates, a powerful model can run on a “very powerful Macintosh,” but for real work they want roughly 100 tokens a second or 200 tokens a second. Another speaker notes that most people operate around 25 tokens a second. The conversation then describes “agent swarms” that run multiple steps: agents inspect codebases, find bugs, apply fixes, perform code review, and finalize changes. This pipeline, they say, would not run locally at 26 tokens a second; instead, it would take about a week rather than an hour. The speaker cites OpenAI token usage, stating someone put in “a billion tokens last week,” and compares this to the 26 tokens per second constraint, concluding that the computation would take an extremely long time.

Speaker 1: zach are chinese open models becoming impossible to stop um it's starting to look like that like what was really interesting is that you had eric schmidt uh uh late last year saying that we were five years ahead of google's artificial intelligence uh and then that was at stanford and that stanford talk was quickly scrubbed from the internet and then very shortly later like three months he came back and he's like well actually we miscalculated the gap between what america has and what china has now it's about a year and then after that again he made another correction he's like um okay well now it's months and now it's looking like it's weeks right like wow babel comes out glm 5.2 comes out neck and neck and the question is is that Obviously, China's coming up here like this. Is there going to be a crossover point? And then is China just going to take the AI lead after that? That's very possible, especially now that this single supplier of AI inference, which was NVIDIA, their hardware ran it. Now what it's looking like is that all the other manufacturers are figuring out how to make chips that aren't NVIDIA, which means that suddenly the global supply chain is no longer controlled by a single hardware cartel. It's going to be the free and open market of a plethora of chips that are able to drive all of this AI stuff. Speaker 0: Did you know AMD is kicking ass in this space? I'm actually rooting for AMD on this. And I don't know if you know this, but the reason the CEO of AMD looks kind of like Jensen Huang is because she's his cousin. I did not know that. No, they're from the same Taiwan family. actually. Yeah, right. So it's a family competing against each other for different branches of hardware. But what I love about what AMD is doing is they are doing this, you know, high bandwidth, unified RAM, very large amounts of RAM, they have 192 gig unified platform coming out like a Strix Halo plus or whatever they call it, that is going to be I think, quite fast. for personal use. It's not going to replace a data center. You and I are both tired of all the hype artists out there like, this box can replace a data center. No, it can't. But it can be useful for you. That's coming. What do you think? Speaker 1: If you're one agent and you're willing to do a few words a second, you could run a powerful model on a very powerful Macintosh. Right now. Exactly. Right now. But, I mean, if you're doing real work, you're going to want to have, you know, 100 tokens a second at least, you know, or maybe even 200. Says the token snob. Speaker 0: Yeah. You want 200 tokens a second? Most of us have to get by with, like, 25. You know what I mean? Speaker 1: Let them eat haiku. Speaker 0: We would all love 200 tokens a second. But, see, our audience needs to understand, Zach, you run, like, multiple CLIs, you're running multiple inference, different code projects simultaneously. I am too, but I don't think I ever get 200 a second. Speaker 1: I probably get 1,000 a second. I'm doing agent swarms. Agent swarms, they go out, they look at the code base, and then they find all the different bugs with different strategies, and then they list them all. And then I do another agent swarm that fixes them up. And then, you know, and then we have our code review and then there's that final, you know, pass where they fix up all the bugs and then boom. So the idea of running all of that locally is not going to happen at 26 tokens a second. That whole pipeline that I've described instead of running in an hour will take literally like a week to run, you know, because like my, my token budget, right. For the last week on just anthropic, I'm sorry, just for OpenAI itself was a billion tokens. The guy put in a billion tokens last week with OpenAI. Now, these open bottles are 26 tokens a second. So how many tokens are in a week? 86,000? I don't know. Like, that's going to take forever. Speaker 0: Bright videos.

reSee.it AI Summary
I see the federal government pushing to control who can use frontier AI models, creating a licensing system where the White House judges who’s “qualified.” I expect open models from China and others to follow—total AI tyranny seems to be forming.

@HealthRanger - HealthRanger

The federal government is now demanding to control who is allowed to use frontier AI models. This is effectively a LICENSING regime, where the White House decides whether you are "qualified" to use AI. Soon, they're going to be open source AI models from China and other countries. Total AI tyranny is in the making... full report.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Mike Adams says the White House is “effectively demanding” it can control licensing of who is allowed to use AI models. Adams claims Reuters, Axios, Bloomberg, and CNBC reported that the Trump administration demanded OpenAI limit the release of an upcoming GPT “5.6” to only a small set of partners approved by the government, restricting it from the public and from corporations and others. He says this is being done “without any law whatsoever,” without public vote, without permission from OpenAI, and through a “murky black box” security decision process where the White House alone determines release eligibility. Adams states OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is not happy but says OpenAI will go along with it, hoping it is temporary and not guaranteed. Adams frames this as a second frontier model in the U.S. being targeted and restricted. He contrasts it with an earlier case involving Anthropic’s “Mythos,” also called “Fable 5,” which Adams says was restricted by Anthropic after “government pressure and government concerns about cybersecurity.” He adds context that he says involves a relationship between the Trump administration and Anthropic, including Pentagon labeling of Anthropic models as a cybersecurity threat under “Hegseth,” and says this contributed to government pressure. Adams argues that the OpenAI demand amounts to de facto government licensing with “no published rules” and “no due process.” He says OpenAI’s compliance is expected because defying the federal government would likely lead to force. He also describes the “upshot” as catastrophic for the U.S. AI race, asserting it would push AI development toward China because Americans would not build their future on models that could be removed based on new government security concerns. Adams says his interview with Zach Voorhees (on brightvideos.com and decentralized.tv) will address concerns that the federal government could go further to ban or outlaw Chinese open-source AI models, “label” them as contraband or illegal, and “build” a “giant firewall” around the U.S. He also claims this could lead to criminalization for running models from Chinese providers. Adams advises viewers to download AI models immediately from Hugging Face and store them locally, including large model weights even if they cannot be run yet. He suggests preparing for big downloads (hundreds of gigabytes) and mentions downloading small (7B–9B parameter) and medium models, specifically calling out “QEN 3.6 27B” as a recommended medium option. He also mentions downloading weights for “DeepSeek version 4,” “GLM,” and “Kimmy K2,” even without local hardware. He emphasizes that if the administration later declares such models “contraband” or illegal, individuals would decide whether to delete files or keep them. He says he expects “a flurry of lawsuits” against the federal government. Adams repeatedly urges resistance: download models, run AI locally using owned hardware and GPUs to avoid permission-based control, and push back politically by contacting representatives and senators. He adds that he expects efforts to restrict access to open-source models from other countries as well, and describes a future scenario in which the government would require biometric and digital identification to use approved AI models.

Speaker 1: Okay, this is a red alert for everybody who uses AI or wants to use AI. I'm Mike Adams. As you know, I'm an AI developer and I've got an interview today with Zach Voorhees, the Google whistleblower that talks about this. And you don't wanna miss that interview. It's also posted on brightvideos.com. But the White House is now effectively demanding that it can control the licensing of who is allowed to use AI models. The White House has, and this has been reported by Reuters, Axios, Bloomberg, CNBC, that the White House, the Trump administration, has demanded that OpenAI limit the release of its upcoming GPT 5.6 to only a small set of partners that are approved by the government itself. restricting it from the public, restricting it from corporations, restricting it from everybody else. So this is the White House saying that we, without any law whatsoever, without any public vote on the matter, frankly, without any permission from the company that makes the model, OpenAI, the Trump administration is demanding that it has the right to determine who is allowed to use which AI models based on some murky black box decision process, where the White House alone says, well, we think it might be a security risk, therefore you can't release it. So the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, is not happy about this, actually. He says that they're going to go along with it, and he's hoping that this will only be temporary, but he can't guarantee that. The White House could just say, well, we have determined that the model is too risky for to release to the public and therefore no one else can have it. Now, understand this is the second AI model, a frontier model in the United States that has now been targeted by the Trump administration and effectively is being restricted from the people. The first model was of course, Mythos from Anthropic, also known as Fable 5, once you put guardrails on it. Now, Anthropic itself decided to restrict the distribution of the original mythos model, but that was largely in response, I believe, to government pressure and government concerns about cybersecurity. So that wasn't directly the Trump administration ordering Anthropic to do that, but there's a history between the Trump administration and Anthropic involving the Pentagon, as you probably know, where the anthropic company, its models were already labeled a cybersecurity threat by the Pentagon under Hegseth. So you have to keep that context in mind here, where here we have the government saying that anthropics models are a threat to national security and therefore nobody should be allowed to use them in the government at the time. Now with OpenAI, we have a slightly different but also similar situation. which is that the White House is ordering the company to not release the model to anyone other than those that are approved by the Trump administration. This is a de facto licensing by the government with no published rules, no due process, no process of applying for such a license. And this is a total violation of the First Amendment, obviously, and probably other rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. know it's a denial of due process for one thing but this is unconstitutional it's unlawful and yet the white house is doing it anyway and so far open ai is going along with it because what are they going to do defy the federal government well then the government would just show up with guns and shut them down so of course they're going along with it the real upshot of this though by the way is absolutely catastrophic for the future of ai in the united states This maneuver is like shooting yourself in the face with a shotgun in terms of the AI race. Okay. This, this tactic by the white house hands, the future of AI to China. It's over it's done because now who in America is going to build their future on us AI models. knowing that the federal government could come along at any given time and simply take those models away from you, citing some new security concern that it came up with. And as you'll hear in my interview with Zach Voorhees, which I strongly encourage you to check out, again, that's going to be on brightvideos.com, you will hear Zach's concerns that the federal government is going to go much further than this and they're going to try to eventually ban or outlaw all Chinese open source AI models. Yeah. They're going to build basically a giant firewall around the United States of America. And they're going to label China's open source AI models as contraband or illegal AI. Huh? Yeah. So you've been running Quinn models for a while, have you? Oh yeah. Monday morning, you could be a criminal. You could be a felon. because Trump has decided that Alibaba's models are somehow a threat to national security. That's where this is going. So if there's one thing you should do right now in the coming weekend, you should go to Hugging Face and you should download all the models that you want to download. That's what I'm going to do. I mean, actually, I've already downloaded lots and lots of models, but I'm going to make sure I've covered all the bases. I don't think I have the latest mini Macs, for example. I got to get that. But download the models you need. And those are some big downloads. Some of those models are hundreds of gigabytes with multiple safe tensor files. So you're going to need some dedicated download time for those. Download the models that you need and have them stored locally. Get some small ones like 7 billion, 8 billion, 9 billion parameter models. Get some medium-sized ones that you can run. My favorite is QEN 3.6 27B. That's by far, by far the best medium model that I've ever found. And then in terms of larger models, you can download the weights for, you know, DeepSeek version 4, even if you can't run it. Or GLM or, you know, Kimmy K2, whatever. You can download those weights, even if you don't have local hardware to run it, at least you have the weights or the model files that you could run later as more hardware becomes available. And then if the Trump administration suddenly announces that, well, that's all contraband, it's illegal models, then you get to decide how you wanna deal with that. Are you going to dutifully delete all those files to comply with an illegal unconstitutional demand from a federal government that's trying to monopolize or limit your access to machine cognition? Well, if you decide to go along with that, obviously then you're an idiot and that's all on you. I have other plans. I'm not going to let the White House determine what I have to delete. And most people will side with me and there will be a flurry of lawsuits against the federal government, obviously. But this is where this is going. and i called it you know i predicted this months ago on this podcast i said this was coming in fact i did a whole episode called the dumbing down of ai for the public while the government would monopolize the frontier ai for itself i did a whole podcast on i did an infographic and an article on that very point and here it is coming true actually faster than i thought it would that's what's scary about this is the white house is moving very quickly to try to outlaw or even criminalize your access to open source AI models. So that's coming. And by the way, you can use our free AI model at brightanswers.ai, which is, you know, it's got the largest internal database of truthful information of any model in the world. You can ask it about vaccines and cancer cures and what really happened on 9-11, things like that. And it will give you accurate answers and it's based on hundreds of millions of pages of content that is accurately cited and researched during the creation of your answer. And then it cites those books or those articles or those documents or the science papers that it uses. So it has a near zero hallucination rate, the model I built. And again, it's free at brightanswers.ai. Now, wouldn't it suck if... the White House says one day, oh, you have to shut that down. It's illegal. It's not approved by the White House. It's an unlicensed, unregistered model. You know, can you imagine? If that happens in America, you know, the republic is lost. It's over. Then it's just full-blown authoritarianism, and I guess a bunch of, like, guerrilla AI people running, like, secret server clusters to try to, you know, extract cognition from machines and without being shot by federal agents, things like that. That's where this is probably going. You're gonna be like a thumb drive smuggler with the latest AI model that's illegal. It'll be like living in North Korea, but in California or Texas or Florida. It'll be just like North Korea. You'll be hunted down for your digital open weights files because you dared to run a model that was created in China without a government license. That's where this is headed. It's full blown authoritarianism. And frankly, we all need to push back hard against this. So contact your representatives and Congress, your house members, your Senate, you know, your senators, your governor, whoever, whoever you can reach and let them know this is, this is nonsense. We're not going to submit to government licensing. And then also you're going to have to have a digital ID with a thumbprint, you know, An iris scan and a rectal exam and a PCR snot test and everything else. You know, a dental imprint so that you can use their AI models and they can tie it to you biometrically. No, thank you. Not interested. Not going to consent to that bullshit. No way. Not a chance. We lived through COVID. And the way we lived through it was by saying no to tyranny. Now is the time to say no again. These AI tyrants in the White House think they can control your access to, you know, computer code now. Really? And that's what this is. Now, of course, I don't even use open AI models, so this particular demand doesn't affect me, but we know what's coming. They're going to try to outlaw open source models from other countries, maybe including the Mistral models from France or whatever else comes along. There's a lot of great models out there, and they're also uncensored models, liberated models. Obliterated, as it's called. Model obliteration, removing the guardrails. It's awesome. You should do that sometime. It works. And then the model actually works better. It's more accurate without the guardrails. It's more accurate on every question, it turns out, or nearly every question. So download the models, run AI locally. I've said this for two years now. I've said you need to own your local hardware, your GPUs, so that you can run models locally I've said this again and again. At first, people laughed at me like, oh, why are you spending all this money to build a data center? You should just run everything in the cloud. It's so much cheaper. Now they're like, oh, now we get it because now you don't need government permission to run your AI clusters, do you? Nope, because I own the hardware. I own the workstations. I own the power supplies. I own the GPUs. That's what you need to do. You need to be able to run your own AI locally. Otherwise, You will be controlled, you'll be restricted, you'll be censored, and you might even be criminalized by the Trump administration. Not to mention whatever Democrats come into power after that, because they're not going to like your access to open AI either. How dare you look up cancer cures on your own local AI model? It's not government approved. Seriously, they want to restrict AI models so that they can control everything that the model says. And then of course they'll dumb them down to where their idiocracy retarded AI that just tells you whatever government narratives have been pumped into it over and over again through like fine tuning training or something. That's what this is coming to. And they're going to be useless models, absolutely useless. And that's why everybody's going to turn to the torrent websites or file sharing sites, or they're going to use VPNs to go off grid. And by the way, we, We are an affiliate of VP.net, which is the VP, the VPN, I should say, that literally cannot log you, cannot store your activity, cannot know your identity. It's part of their code and their execution environment in the CPUs of their servers, which is isolated by hardware. I've got an interview coming up also with the chief marketing officer from VP.net, But if you go to my website rangerdeals.com and you scroll down there, there's a link for vp.net. It's the only VPN that I recommend. So go there. You can click on that link. I think you can use discount code ranger. Maybe. I'm not absolutely sure if they use a code. But if they do, try ranger. It'll save you something because that's the code we universally use for our affiliates, you know, our affiliate partners. So try that. But People are going to need to get VPNs so that they can download these models that the White House is going to consider to be contraband. I mean, imagine that. Did you ever think you were going to be, you know, an LLM gorilla? You know, like running around trying to hide your code, you know, with little encrypted thumb drives and everything, meeting in... Dark parking lots like, you got the stuff, man. Yeah, I got the stuff. It's the good stuff. It's like a scene out of The Matrix. Remember where Neo, they knock on the door and Neo wakes up. He's selling data, some kind of programs like malicious code or something. Follow the white rabbit. Remember that? But that's becoming reality now and you're not even doing anything wrong. You just have an AI model that the government doesn't approve of. because it's a model that was created from China or somewhere else for that matter. So this is here, folks. This is here. Anyway, check out my interview with Zach Voorhees. It's part of DTV, which is decentralized.tv. That's the other website where you can find all of our DTV episodes. And we actually were featuring Zach Voorhees once a week now because things are moving so fast in this field. We have to have Zach on once a week. So check that out. You're going to learn a lot and push back against this insanity by the Trump administration. No, we don't need your permission to use computer code, okay, to use AI. It's a First Amendment fundamental human right to access machine cognition. So get your own hardware, download your own models, learn how to run them, and download all the books we have for free at brightlearn.ai.com. Use my AI engine for free at brightanswers.ai. Benefit from all of this. Use it while you can. Because the United States of America is about to become the freaking North Korea of the modern digital world. For real. You're going to be finding yourself living in North Korea. I mean, a North Korea-like society. Where everything you want to do is illegal. And it's not even immoral. It's just... Oh, you want to do research on some? Oh, that's against the law. That's a felony. Oh, really? You want to find out how to reverse type 2 diabetes? Oh, that's a felony. No, no, no. You have to take the pharmaceuticals, you see, to comply. You have to take the jabs. You have to swallow the bioweapons that they want you to take. Oh, how dare you think for yourself or do research outside of channels they control, you see. That's where this is going. All right. I'm Mike Adams. Follow my work. Again, brightvideos.com, decentralized.tv, or naturalnews.com. So thank you for listening. Be safe, everybody. Take care.

Zach Vorhies on the coming wave of U.S. government AI model censorship that will target China's open source models. This is why I'm urging people to download model weights NOW and support open source AI! (From Decentralize TV) https://t.co/IiOsx0MLqv

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 said they downloaded all the open weights of GLM 5.2 and intend to run it one day, noting they currently lack hardware. They also argued that the U.S. banning Anthropic models effectively hands AI implementation’s future to China. Speaker 1 referenced a Reuters story on June 17 stating the Trump administration decided not to ban DeepSeek R1 “yet,” implying a ban may come later, similar to actions taken with TikTok. They said models such as Anthropic’s “fable opus 4.8” are very expensive, while Chinese models including DeepSeek R1, GLM, Qwen, and Minimax M3 are available at a fraction of the price. They argued these Chinese models have improved and are now almost at the level of what the U.S. frontier can produce. Speaker 0 agreed on the cost gap, stating that in some cases it is “50 times less” and sometimes even higher. Speaker 1 then questioned why companies pay more via employee salaries or token usage when Chinese models can perform similar tasks for much less. Speaker 1 cited an Nvidia CEO claim that if a $500,000 employee is not spending $250,000 in tokens, they need to be fired, adding that $250,000 exceeds what many engineers make as salary. They argued that if similar performance can be achieved far cheaper, spending at the higher level becomes harder to justify. Speaker 1 proposed the U.S. will respond with an import ban and controls akin to “the Great Wall” and “the Great Firewall of America.” They said it would begin with a blacklist blocking access to certain services or websites, progress to whitelists allowing access only to government-approved entities, and then declare open models “problematic and unsafe.” They said the U.S. would require entities to prove open models can “naturally run within the borders of the United States,” and if not, would remove them from open-source repositories such as Hugging Face. Speaker 0 challenged whether this would include stripping models from Hugging Face, controlling GitHub, and criminalizing downloading open weights from China; Speaker 1 replied that this is exactly what they believe would happen in stages. Speaker 1 argued that it would be difficult to determine what models do when only the model weights are available, describing models as “black boxes” and noting concerns about malicious intent embedded in weights. They added that even OpenAI and Google do not fully know what their models are capable of and said static analysis for model forensics is an unresolved “frontier question.” They concluded that Chinese companies or the Chinese government proving open models are harmless and contain no malicious intent is “virtually impossible” given this problem.

Speaker 0: I downloaded all the open weights of GLM 5.2, I think yesterday, even though I can't run it. Cause I don't have enough hardware to run it locally, but one day I will. And I want to make sure I've got the model, you know, I'm not going to let the government come along and ban that. So to your point, the U S just basically is handing, you know, the future of AI implementation to China by banning anthropic models. Correct. Absolutely. Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like, well, what are we even doing right now? What was interesting is that just yesterday, June 17th, Reuters ran a new story saying the Trump administration has decided not to ban DeepSeek R1 yet, which means that there's a ban coming, right? They did the same thing with TikTok. And what's really interesting that I see is that when I look at all these, like, you for these models like anthropics fable opus 4.8 like they're really expensive really really really expensive and all of these chinese models that are coming out um beef seek r1 um glm quen uh minimax m3 they're all at a fraction of the price of these models and unlike before when these models were very weak Now they are very, very, very, very good. They are almost at the level of what the frontier United States is able to make. Speaker 0: And when you say a fraction of the cost, in some cases, it's 50 times less other cases, even higher, right? I mean, it's not even close. Correct. Speaker 1: And this begs the question, why are all these companies paying, you know, more in their salary or more in their token usage than in their own employees? Right. I think the Nvidia CEO said that, you know, if there's a $500,000 employee and they're not spending $250,000 in tokens, they need to be fired. Right. But that just to give you the scale, like $250,000 is more than most engineers make as a salary. Right. Right. And so the question is, why is a company going to spend $250,000? $25,000 a year if a Chinese model that's almost as good and pretty soon may actually be better can do the same task at $25,000 right now. I think I've got an answer the Trump administration's going to put an import ban and great the Great Wall the Great Firewall of America and do exactly what China has done to us, which is they're going to start banning services and connections. It's going to start with a blacklist, and then it's eventually going to go to a whitelist, an invert, so that the only entities or internet that you can access is going to be blessed by the government. Speaker 0: So wait a second, Zach. Are you saying that you think the U.S. government will not just ban the use of those Chinese models in government, which it can easily do, that's legal. Are you saying it would try to strip those models off of Hugging Face? and it would try to control GitHub and it would like ban, it would criminalize us downloading these open weights from China, from like a Quen model or something. Are you kidding me? Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm saying. And it's not going to happen all at once. It's going to happen in stages, right? First come the blacklist. Hey, you can't access this website. You can't access that website. Then it's going to come for the whitelists, which is like, you can only access this site if it's been approved by the US government. Then what they're going to do is that they're going to declare that these open models are problematic and unsafe, and they need to be proved to the US government that they can naturally run within the borders of the United States. And if you can't prove that, they're going to pull them from the open source repositories like Huggy Face, which is an open source repository of these models. And now here's the problem. how do you figure out what these models are actually doing? How do you know that inside isn't lurking some sort of, you know, malicious intent that's been, you know, embedded into the weights of, you know, essentially, you know, like a 230 gigabyte CSV file. And it's just a list of weights. Speaker 0: That could just be, you know, malicious intent could be triggered by anything, but these are all black boxes. OpenAI doesn't even know what their model's capable of. Not really. Right. Nor Google. Speaker 1: The thing is that understanding the forensics of these AI models and figuring out what it is that they actually do when you just have the model itself and not running it, just static analysis. That's a frontier question that has not been answered. This ability for the Chinese government or these Chinese companies to prove that that their models are harmless and they don't have any mal-intent is virtually impossible.

Zach Vorhies on why the U.S. banning Anthropic's models is giving China the edge in the AI race. (Clip from our recent Decentralize TV interview.) https://t.co/W9yuptSa4P

Video Transcript AI Summary
The conversation centers on a major development involving Anthropic’s frontier model “Fable.” Speaker 1 says the government has moved to ban Fable from Anthropic. Anthropic had released the model and, within 72 hours, the government sent them a letter telling them to take it down. Speaker 1 further explains that the government clarified that only “verified Americans” could use the model and that no foreign nationals could use it, explicitly including Anthropic employees. As a result, Speaker 1 says Anthropic was not even allowed to use the model they themselves were building. Speaker 1 describes the situation as a direct confrontation: the government is portrayed as requiring Anthropic to remove access while also maintaining an “export control” stance. Speaker 1 states that the government will keep this export control in place as long as anyone, anywhere, is able to jailbreak the model. Speaker 1 then explains how a jailbreak reportedly worked and why it mattered in this dispute. According to Speaker 1, the jailbreak was posted by an anonymous poster. Speaker 1 says the poster used a combination of Cyrillic characters (linked to Russian alphabets) and Unicode, and also broke down the prompt into smaller requests. Speaker 1 claims that by dividing the full request into chunks, the model was not able to identify the complete question. Speaker 1 states that this prevented the model from applying the guard rails associated with “Project Glasswing,” allowing the model to provide “basically uncensored results” to the individual receiving the prompts. Speaker 1 says the jailbreak post gained significant attention, reaching “over a million views on Twitter,” and that this visibility is when the government responded with instructions to take the model down. During the discussion, Speaker 0 interrupts briefly, saying they lost Todd’s connection and that the video “freaked out,” then asks Zach to keep going while they fix it. Speaker 1 continues by describing the resulting “stalemate.” Speaker 1 then shifts to a related geopolitical framing involving artificial intelligence development. Speaker 1 says China introduced “GLM. 5.2,” described as “nipping at the heels” of Fable 5. Speaker 1 claims that the U.S. government does not impose export controls for frontier models when they come from China, presenting this as part of the broader competitive landscape referenced in the segment.

Speaker 1: you and i have have chatted a little bit offline there's a lot of stuff happening uh give us the the top priority here where do you want to begin with this segment yeah so uh the big news that everybody's talking about right now is the government coming out and banning fable from anthropic uh this was their frontier model that was really really good and they released it and then within 72 hours the government sent them a letter saying take it down. And then they clarified that the only people that could use this model were verified Americans and no foreign nationals, which included the employees of Anthropic themselves. They couldn't even use the model that they were building themselves, which means that Anthropic is essentially being told by the government to go touch grass. Wow. And now they're in a battle with the government. The government is saying that they're going to keep this essential essentially an export control over this model as long as anybody anywhere is able to jailbreak it at all. Now, here's the problem. This jailbreak was posted by an anonymous poster And what he was able to do is that he was able to use a combination of Cyrillic, which is, you know, uh, Russian alphabets Unicode, and also breaking down the request into smaller requests. And from that, he was able to ask the question that by itself in its entirety, the guard rails called project, uh, glass wing would prevent. And so by breaking it up into little smaller chunks and asking each chunk, the model was not able to figure out what the full question was. And so it was able to give basically uncensored results back to the individual. And he posted this. It got over a million views on Twitter. And that's when the government responded and said, yeah, take this model down. Speaker 0: Keep going, Zach. I just want to let our audience know. I think we lost Todd's connection. So the video kind of freaked out. But just keep going. Yeah. We'll fix it as you're talking. Speaker 1: Great. So, you know, essentially, this is where we're at, right? The stalemate. Now, what's really, you know, what's an unfortunate thing is that what happened next was the U.S. government's biggest self-owned, you know, in the last month or last year for artificial intelligence because China came around and said, look, GLM. 5.2, nipping at the heels of Fable 5 model, right? Totally. Now, you know, the U.S. government doesn't have an export control. You can use a frontier model now as long as it's Chinese. Speaker 0: Bright videos.

Clip of my interview with Attorney Brian Festa talking about vaccines and parental rights. Still to this day in America, government officials KIDNAP children to force-vaccinate them! https://t.co/EIDXsTsbtC

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 says they believed more people were becoming aware that vaccines cause autism and sudden infant death syndrome in certain cases, that many vaccines are never proven safe or effective, and that approvals occur under “fraudulent conditions,” citing laws and authorizations such as the PREP Act and emergency use authorization for COVID vaccines. They argue the vaccine industry is “a complete and total fraud” and ask whether that realization is happening in local government or schools. Speaker 0 replies that in states including Connecticut, New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, the situation still resembles 2019 because it is framed as a political issue. They claim left-leaning officials will “do anything” to thwart what they call an agenda, despite what they describe as “solid, peer-reviewed scientific data,” “mountains of evidence,” and congressional and Senate hearings. They reference testimony by Aaron Siri, Robert F. Kennedy as HHS, Robert Malone, and others, and say Senator Ron Johnson held hearings. Speaker 0 asserts that when they tried to testify, their testimony was muted and cut off during a public health committee process. Speaker 0 says officials on those committees continue to claim there is no evidence vaccines cause autism, that vaccines are safe and effective, and that vaccines are the best way to protect public health and achieve herd immunity. They also mention that these officials still wear masks in legislative chambers. Speaker 1 responds that the persistence of such positions raises the question of how society can function with “ignorant, illiterate people” in charge of legislative processes. Speaker 0 says they no longer live in Connecticut and presents two options: voting them out is not expected because of a supermajority and because, in their view, many voters are affected by election fraud, not alive, not legal citizens, or are “blinded followers.” They state the conflict is framed as “my team, us versus them.” They say they do not think the situation can be won politically in Connecticut, so options are moving or fighting back in courts. Speaker 0 says they moved but still wants to fight in court for states including California, Connecticut, and New York, citing friends and family who cannot leave due to circumstances such as custody arrangements and the risk of being charged with kidnapping. They state they continue lawsuits for those who cannot relocate.

Speaker 1: Gosh, I thought that more and more people were becoming aware that number one, vaccines do cause autism and that vaccines also cause sudden infant death syndrome in certain cases and that vaccines actually, many of them are never proven safe or effective and that they're approved under fraudulent conditions, you know, PrEP Act, emergency use authorization for COVID vaccines, et cetera. I mean, from my perspective, point of view, the entire vaccine industry is a complete and total fraud. But I thought more and more people were waking up to that after the COVID scam years. But from what you're saying, that's certainly not happening in local government or schools, is it? Speaker 0: No. So what's happened in states like Connecticut, New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, the list goes on and on, right? In states like that, you'd think it's 2019. You'd think COVID never happened because it's a political thing, Mike. These people, they will do anything, anything they can to thwart the agenda. And trust me, listen, I don't love everything that this presidential administration has done. I'm not here to talk politics today. Obviously, great strides have been made, Robert F. Kennedy being HHS, but there's a lot of things that still need to be done. And there's a lot of things that I'm not happy about. But these people on the left so hate the president, Robert F. Kennedy, and their agenda that they will do everything they can, even in the face of the most solid, peer-reviewed scientific data studies, the face of mountains of evidence, which now have come out. You've seen it. I've seen it. We've heard it even at congressional hearings, Senate hearings. We've seen people like Aaron Siri get up and testify and show the mountains of data. And Robert Malone and everyone else, we've seen them testify. Senator Ron Johnson has held these hearings. I mean, it's very, very clear. This has been out on public display now. But if you listen to them, they say, and I listen because Connecticut's my former home state was for many years. I'm in Idaho now. But I tried to sign up and testify. They muted us. After a certain time, they cut it off at midnight. They wouldn't let any of us talk. I was signed up to still testify, but I listened to those senators and representatives on the public health committee. And every word coming out of their mouth, again, you'd think it was 2019. Oh, there's no evidence. Vaccines don't cause autism. That's been debunked. Vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccines are the best way to protect public health, herd immunity. I mean, these are people that still wear masks in legislative chambers. Speaker 1: They're still wearing masks. I'm trying to measure my words here because how on earth can a society function with such ignorant, illiterate people in charge of the legislative process? Speaker 0: That's why I don't live there anymore. I mean, so there are two options because you're not going to vote them out. They have a super majority in the legislature and the majority of people living in Connecticut who do vote are either people that, well, there's election fraud, people that aren't alive or shouldn't be voting or aren't legal citizens or whatever, or the rest of the people who are actual legal citizens and voting are blinded by this. They're blind followers. It's a political agenda. It's my team, us versus them. It's my team versus yours. It's that kind of mentality. It has nothing to do with science or facts or public health. I don't think you're going to win politically in the state of Connecticut. You either can move or we can fight back in courts. Yes, I moved, but I still want to fight back in the courts. There's a lot of people who live in Connecticut and in New England, other states there from where I lived my whole life until the last four years that I care deeply about and that I want to help. I have friends and family there, and there's a lot of good people there that for whatever reason can't leave. There are some people that are trapped because of their life circumstances, whether it's a shared custody arrangement. with an ex spouse or something like that. They were, they're not actually not allowed to leave the state. People don't think of that. They're like, well, anybody can move. You can figure out a way to move. Even if you don't have money, you can figure out a way to make it. Not if there's a custody arrangement and you'll be charged with kidnapping. If you leave the state with your child, right? There are some people who literally can't leave. And so they need people fighting for them. That's why we continue to fight for California, Connecticut, New York, all of these States, because there are a lot of people there who don't want to live there, who hate it there. But no choice. So that's what we're doing. We have those lawsuits.

reSee.it AI Summary
I’m sharing my investigative report on a rapidly emerging indium supply chain emergency. China controls about 70% of global indium and is moving toward severe restrictions for Western buyers. Since indium is essential for optoelectronics and fiber optic/data center transceivers, large-scale data center buildouts could stall immediately without it.

@HealthRanger - HealthRanger

Here's my investigative report on the indium supply chain emergency that's rapidly emerging. China controls around 70% of the world's indium supply, and they are taking steps toward severe restrictions for western buyers. Without indium, you can't make optoelectronics, optical transceivers, fiber optic communications equipment for data centers, etc. The entire data center buildout goes "kerplunk" without indium, a Group 13 element (just under gallium on the Table of Elements, for a reason).

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript argues that China’s export restrictions on indium compounds will “almost certainly” crash AI data center infrastructure build-out plans due to indium’s role in high-speed optical networking. The speaker, Mike Adams, describes indium as a rare, not-very-abundant element and connects it to periodic-table groupings: indium, boron, aluminum, gallium are grouped together, and indium’s outer-shell electron configuration is described as relevant to forming compounds. The key application claim is that indium is needed for materials that combine electrical conductivity with optical transparency. The speaker emphasizes indium tin oxide and other indium-based transparent conductors, and links this to optical microchips and telecommunications used for AI data centers. The transcript states that copper-based transmission is inadequate for the throughput required to connect large numbers of GPUs quickly enough for large model training. It asserts that very fast inter-GPU communication requires optoelectronics, including optical transceivers, switches, and optical modulators capable of terabits-per-second bandwidth. It claims there is “no substitute” in photonics for indium phosphide and that indium phosphide performs for lasers, photodetectors, modulators, and optical telecom functions. According to the transcript, China has already placed indium phosphide on an export control list in early 2025, which is said to have caused a price spike: indium phosphide wafers are reported to have risen about 250% in roughly a year and a half to around $5,000 per six-inch wafer. The transcript further claims that China has increased scrutiny on buyers of “straight indium,” requiring end-user information and destination country details for European and U.S. purchasers. It describes a reciprocal geopolitical pattern: the U.S. is said to have pressured ASML to block exports of high-end UV lithography equipment to China, while China responds by restricting exports of gallium, indium, and indium phosphide. The transcript claims gallium is used for night vision optics and radar systems and that China mines/refines about 70% of exported indium. The transcript identifies supply-chain bottlenecks: it states that 70% of the global indium market is controlled by China and that substrate manufacturing is largely handled by AXT Sumitomo, described as controlling about 80% of substrate production. It frames this as a “choke point” that would affect AI data center rollout, including “orbital data centers,” because high-speed optical transmission would still be required. The speaker cites an article from Mining.com as saying indium phosphide is a “powerful trade weapon” and quotes Semi Analysis’ Conrad Wong describing indium phosphide as one of several supply chain bottlenecks “collectively gating AI data center build outs.” It also mentions NVIDIA’s $2 billion investment into U.S. photonics product makers Coherent and Lumentum, and Lumentum/Marvell’s acquisition of Celestial AI for photonics work, as evidence that AI builders recognize dependencies on photonics and indium. The transcript expands to other element constraints, mentioning gallium and tungsten hexafluoride (WF6) as inputs for microchip manufacturing. It explains that indium is extracted as a byproduct from zinc mining and then refined from zinc ores, stating there are no dedicated indium mines and no large U.S. mining or sufficient reclamation to replace Chinese supply. It claims indium recycling exists but is not enough for the industry’s needs. Finally, the transcript asserts that China’s leverage can “flick a switch” to block exports and describes prior reversals when U.S. trade pressure is applied, with China cited as using these restrictions as negotiation leverage. It concludes by stating the U.S. AI industry is dependent on Chinese supply and warns that the AI data center “bubble” could face a brick wall due to these element bottlenecks.

Speaker 1: Okay, I've got an analysis for you of why China's export restrictions on indium compounds will almost certainly crash the data center, well, AI data center infrastructure build-out bubble. So welcome to the special report. I'm Mike Adams. I'm an AI developer. I built multiple platforms using vibe coding, including brightlearn.ai and brightanswers.ai and many others. And I'm also... An elemental scientist, I mean, I run a mass spec laboratory with elemental analysis using multiple mass spec instruments mostly for the food and supplements industry. That doesn't make me an optoelectronics engineer, but it does mean I have an understanding of elements and let's say the overall natural abundance or lack thereof of these elements, and indium is one of those elements, that is not in great natural abundance. It's considered a rare earth, although that definition is kind of loose, but clearly indium is in the category of rare. Now, if you look at the table of elements, it's kind of interesting, because indium is in the same column as boron, aluminum, and gallium. which tells you something about its atomic structure, of course. And gallium is also on China's export list. And gallium has some unique properties, some of which overlap indium's properties. And gallium is used, for example, in night vision optics and radar systems in particular that are necessary for the U.S. to manufacture military systems that have radar, including anti-air interceptors. So China makes the vast majority of the gallium that is exported in the world, and it turns out that China also makes around 70% of indium that is exported. I shouldn't say makes, I should say it mines and refines about 70% of the indium that is sold in the world. So I'm not going to turn this into a science class or anything, but, you know, these elements, boron, aluminum, gallium, and indium, they are all in the group 13 of the periodic table. They all have three electrons in their outermost orbital shell. And why that matters is because if you group it with a, or if you pair it with a group 15 element like phosphorus, which we'll get to in a second, then it yields a compound that shares some characteristics with silicon, but it has much better light transmission. And so for materials that need light transmission, such as solar panels or optoelectronics, that would be optical microchips, or let's say optical telecommunications equipment, like the kind you would use in AI data centers. Starting to make sense? You need indium. You can't build these systems in silicon because silicon blocks the light. And it's called... bandgap engineering through special alloys. You can look that up if you want to know more details about the so-called bandgap engineering. But basically the upshot is that indium creates transparent conductors such as indium tin oxide. It's electrically conductive and it's optically transparent. This is absolutely critical for a lot of things in data centers, but also things like touch screens or solar cells or electrodes that are embedded into displays, things like that. But when it comes to data centers, you can't use copper wire to transmit the throughput that you need to connect all of the GPUs that are in the server racks where some of these data centers might be running, I don't know, let's say 100,000 GPUs. And when companies like SpaceX or OpenAI or Meta or Google or whoever, when they want to do very, very large model training or even anthropic, they need to have extremely fast interconnections between the GPUs. Otherwise, model training slows to a crawl and things take years instead of days. So you have to have extremely fast transmission of data between the GPUs. And the only way to do that is with optoelectronics. You know, again, copper doesn't cut it. I mean, I'm thinking like in my mini data center, I'm still using quite a bit of copper running at 10G, so 10 gigabits per second copper wire. And that's getting really slow for me, by the way, because of all the data I'm working with. And I've just announced some big updates for brightlearn.ai and brightanswers.ai, by the way. I'll have those as a separate podcast. But I'm going to have to go all optical with my next upgrade of infrastructure, optical switches and everything. Whereas companies like, obviously, Google or whoever, you know, SpaceX, they've already gone everything optical. These data centers are being built with optical infrastructure in a huge way. So, in other words, they depend... severely on indium. So it turns out that China is now restricting indium exports, or let me say scrutinizing exports of just straight indium. Whereas even last year in 2025, they put indium phosphide on an export control list. So remember when I said that if you pair indium and which is a group 13 element with phosphorus, which is a group 15 element, then you get these special properties of transparency with electrical conductivity. So China is very aware of this and that's why they added indium phosphide, which of course is indium and phosphorus in a configuration to their export control list in early 2025. So that material is already controlled and that alone has caused some kind of crazy price increase let me see if i can find the details i think the price is yeah um indium phosphide wafers their prices have risen 250 percent in a little over a year about a year and a half it looks like to now five thousand dollars per wafer that's a six inch wafer right so that's the template onto which the optoelectronics you know circuitry you could say is eventually optically chiseled into it with the fabrication techniques, okay? But that's $5,000 a wafer now. It used to be a lot less than that. So that's huge. But now China is asking extra questions of purchasers of just the indium. Not even the indium phosphide, but just the indium. So it's being reported, and this was in Taiwan Press. This is where I found it. But it's being reported that there's extra scrutiny now of... european buyers and u.s buyers who are being asked to detail the end user information including the destination country of where the indium is going so you know how the united states of course pressured europe to ban well especially the company am asml which is the uv lithography equipment manufacturer the u.s pressured that company to block all exports to china so that china could not do high-end uv lithography and get their transistor size down to something like two or three nanometers. China is fighting back by blocking gallium exports and indium and indium phosphide exports. This is going to dramatically hamper the US AI data center build-out industry for all the obvious reasons. I mean, silicon just doesn't work, it doesn't absorb at the proper wavelengths, but indium phosphide absolutely works very well, including for things like lasers and photo detectors, not just photo or optoelectronics. All of that, and much more. Different modulators, you know, the light modulators, which are necessary for the optical telecom equipment to move large amounts of data, like... terabits per second, basically. I'm talking about very high-speed bandwidth. You need indium. So essentially, you need optical transceivers, which is a kind of special high-end networking cabling combined with special switches that can handle those transceivers. And there is no substitute in photonics. There's no substitute for indium phosphide. Period. Mic drop. No substitute. You don't have indium, you don't have high-speed optical networking in your data centers. So here's what's going to happen. 70% of the global indium market is controlled by China. And there's another company that handles 80% of the substrate manufacturing. That's called AXT Sumitomo. which obviously is not Chinese, but they get the indium from China. Through these two companies, then you have this choke point on indium and substrate production that is absolutely horrifying to the AI data center build-out effort, including, by the way, orbital data centers. You still need very fast optical transmission of data between effectively the GPUs or TPUs or whatever you're going to be using in orbit, you're going to need high speed, obviously bandwidth there. So you need optics there. So I did a little bit more research on this. Here's a story out of mining.com. China's control over indium phosphide exports threatens AI data center rollout. See, they came to the same conclusion. And let's see, there's interesting paragraph in here. It says that Indium Phosphide has emerged as a powerful trade weapon for Beijing that experts and executives say could disrupt the global rollout of AI data centers. Yep. Just like I said, Indium Phosphide, this is a quote, is one of several supply chain bottlenecks collectively gating AI data center build outs, said Conrad Wong, a research analyst at Semi Analysis. So why does all this matter? Because NVIDIA announced a $2 billion investment into each of these two U.S. photonic product makers. I'm reading from the article. Coherent and Lumentum. So those are, I guess those are U.S. companies. I had not heard of them. But they are opto or photonic product manufacturers. And there's a custom chip maker known as Marvel Technology or Marvell. some people say. I use some of their 10 gig networking cards, by the way. They work great. That's not optical. That's just copper. But anyway, they have announced the acquisition of a semiconductor startup known as Celestial AI to acquire their work on photonics. So in other words, what you see is that even NVIDIA realizes we have to have a lot of photonics. We have to have photo... or optoelectronics and optical transceivers in order to make these data centers work and in order to make AI scale. You have to have this. And that depends on indium. Isn't it amazing? The table of elements comes back to haunt the bubble. And it's not the only element that's haunting the bubble, by the way. There are other shortages I already mentioned, gallium, and there are others that I've talked about as well. And, uh, Tungsten. Remember tungsten hexafluoride? I talked about that last week. WF6, as it's known, because W is the... That's the elemental symbol for tungsten, by the way. W. I know people are like, WF6? What is that? It's like Wells Fargo? No. That's tungsten hexafluoride right there. So you can't make modern microchips without tungsten hexafluoride, it turns out. And you can't make modern optoelectronics without indium. So you see the table of elements becomes just critical. And you see that China's dominance in not only the mining, but also the extraction, the extraction of this element, which is mostly extracted from zinc mining, by the way. So if you dig tons and tons of rock out of the earth, and then you use a bunch of solvents to get the zinc out of it, right? I mean, that's common. you know, heat and pressure and solvents and whatever, you get a bunch of zinc out of it. Then the zinc that you get is slightly contaminated, you would say, with indium. Then you have to use another process of extraction to get the indium out of the zinc, because indium and zinc like to stick together, which is why they are found together in nature, okay? It's like mercury and gold, okay? Actually, mercury sticks to everything. But mercury definitely sticks to gold. That's why gold miners use a bunch of mercury to pull the gold out of the soil and rock. Did you know that? You know why gold miners, like the old school gold miners, you know why they all lose their minds and go crazy? Because they have a giant vat where they're cooking and boiling this giant stew of soil and rocks and they pour mercury into it to boil. Bind with the gold. And then the mercury vapors come off of that and they breathe in those mercury vapors and they go insane like dentists who drill on your mercury fillings who are also inhaling mercury vapors. That's why dentists and gold miners go insane. The longer they do their jobs, the more insane they become for the exact same reason. Isn't that interesting? See, the table of elements is very fascinating. The more you know about the table of elements, the more it explains the insanity in our world also. And also the scarcity and geopolitics and everything. So Trump likes to use trade weapons or tariffs as trade weapons, right? Trump likes to say, we're going to slap a tariff on you. China likes to say, well, we're just going to like quietly restrict your ability to buy, oh, I don't know, indium, you know, gallium, thallium, thulium, you know, like that song, by Tom Lehrer, you know the Element song? I'm joking, that's a funny song. That's how China wages war. It's like, oh, you want Elements? Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck. You see? And then the data centers are like, what are we gonna do without Indium? I don't know. Use lightning bugs? I don't know. So remember one of the companies I mentioned that Nvidia invested in is called Lumentum. According to this article, they're sold out through 2028. All the products they make, already sold. They've quadrupled their output, still can't keep up. And then in Taiwan, there are optical product makers such as VPEC and Landmark Optoelectronics. But guess what? They're not able to get permits for the substrate from the AXT company, probably because of the political... friction between China and Taiwan. So China is kind of, you know, they have a stranglehold on this product going to Taiwan as well as the United States. Got it. So anyway, everywhere you go across this industry, no matter what companies you talk to, they're all, I mean, they're sold out for years to come. And then when you look at how they're trying to scale up production, even there's one company that has production in Texas and But it's going to take two to three years to scale it. And even then, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what the world needs. So, you know, we talked about when Trump announced all these projects and all these trillions of dollars coming in to build data centers. Immediately, I talked about, well, where are you going to get the transformers? There's a transformer shortage and a supply chain bottleneck. And then I also said, where are you going to get the gas turbines? Remember that? because the gas turbines now have up to a 10-year wait time, depending on the capacity of the gas turbine. All the smaller turbines have been bought up by all the tech companies at this point. And I even talked about, well, what about copper? They're going to need a lot of copper and even some aluminum, et cetera. But those were just sort of surface-level scarcity problems that I just knew off the top of my head. But if you dig into this, you get into things like indium, And that's a far worse scarcity problem because there's no solution that you can achieve in less than a few years. And even then, you know, where are you going to get the raw indium? Oh, by the way, I think I accidentally said AXT Sumitomo, but I think those are two separate companies, so I just want to clarify that. AXT is a Chinese company that makes the... indium phosphide substrate, okay. And sumitomo I see mentioned separately. Okay, so we're digging into this. Let's dig into who produces indium. So here's the fun part of this. You know how there's no, or hardly any actual silver mines in the world? You know that silver is really produced as a byproduct of other mining, like zinc mining, for example, or in some cases, I think copper, whatever. There are almost no dedicated silver mines. Same thing with indium, but even more extreme. There are no dedicated indium mines in the world. It's not worth digging up tons of earth to try to get the tiny amount of indium. Indium, like I said earlier, is extracted from zinc ores. And the way it's pulled out, you know, there's solvent extraction. There's also what's called electro-refining. which is how a lot of other trace elements or rare earths are actually refined, by the way, even silver, by the way. So if you want to know where does indium come from, you need to know, like, where is there a lot of zinc mining where the zinc is further refined with this electro-refining and solvent extraction in order to harvest the indium? And I already said... that China is 70% of the world's supply. There's nobody else even close. The next in line is South Korea, which is less than half of what China produces, and then Japan, and then Canada, also as a byproduct of mining, and then after that, a bunch of other countries. None of them are the United States. There is indium recycling, by the way. So a lot of indium can be reclaimed from electronics. And so this happens in Japan, especially, and to some extent in the United States and so on. A lot of the reclaiming is indium tin oxide with reclaiming that from displays, for example. Japan is well known for doing that. But There are really no spare reserves or almost no spare reserves. There's no U.S. mining of indium. And there's no large U.S. reclamation of indium that could provide enough for the AI data center industry. It's not even close. Without China, you can't do it. So China can turn off the US AI industry just like that. And they may be preparing to do that because now they're asking extra questions about indium exports. And again, they've already added indium phosphide. Now remember that China can just literally flick a switch and just block all exports of some of these elements such as gallium. They can block it, boom, on any given day. China always uses that as a leverage point in negotiations with the United States. Every time Trump loses his mind and says, you know, 50% tariff on everything out of China, then China just reminds Trump, oh, yeah? Well, then we'll just completely block all gallium or some of these other elements. And then, you know, the Pentagon sends Trump a memo. Trump, you better reverse that because we can't make any missiles. We can't make anything without China. China's exports of these rare earths. And then Trump reverses himself, you know, within a week and says, oh, China, we love those guys. They're so awesome, such great guys. And then everything's back on. So every time Trump tries to play tough with China, China just starts citing the table of elements, you know, again, like singing the song from Tom Lehrer. And you might think from the name of the element being indium, you might think, well, surely it's, you know, It must be abundant in India, except that's not how it got named. I had to look this up too, but it's very interesting. The name of indium actually comes from indigo, the color, because under spectroscopy, the element, it reflects a very bright indigo blue spectral line. So it's a beautiful indigo blue. And so they named it after the Latin word indicum, which means the indigo dye. So it's about the blue emission line in spectroscopy. There you go. You learned a little elemental trivia today on indium, not named after India. But there is another element, by the way, let's see, where is it? Moscovium. Pretty sure that's named after Moscow, where it was discovered. And there's also, there's a Californium and let's see, Laurentium. Yeah, A lot of these are named after Livermorium. Yeah, where they were discovered, the labs. Here it is, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium. Yeah, any of this ring a bell? Mendelevium. These are all, Nobelium. These are all, of course, famous physicists and scientists, et cetera. Here's one called Protactinum. That's different from Procrastinum, which they put that one off for a while. Then there's Thorium. And thulium, I mentioned earlier, erbium, holmium, dysprosium. Oh, that's one that China loves to say, no soup for you. No dysprosium for you. That's a favorite one of China right there. Neodymium, you know about that one? ND, neodymium for magnets. And there's a neodymium in every EV, every motor that has a regeneration function in it has neodymium Magnets in it. And there's all kinds of great stuff. Just check out the table of elements. It matters. Very cool stuff. Okay. All right. So anyway, that's just a fun, interesting way to tell you that the US AI data centers are aft if China wants to flip the switch and stop the exports. And it looks like that's about to happen. So there you go. So the AI race to superintelligence. you know, how the US tries to prevent China from having UV lithography equipment. And then China just says, well, we won't let you have these elements that you need for, you know, optical electronics and optic transceivers, whatever. And then China builds out its own data centers because it has massive scalability. It's got its own power grid that hasn't run out of power. They've got plenty of power and they're building more. And China's got its own supply chains and its own you know, rare earth elements, its own mining, its own extraction. It's got its own scientists. I mean, and China is doing amazing, amazing things with optoelectronics. They just, in fact, they just came up with a technology I was reading about earlier where they can almost literally stamp out an optical micro chip grid at about, 10% of the cost of what it normally takes today for the etching and the lithography, they can stamp it out using a whole new method I had never heard of before, but it's only for optoelectronics. So China is going to achieve economies of scale in the years ahead that will make compute extremely inexpensive. Microchips will be 10 times more powerful at 1,100th the cost per per compute cycle, things like that. That's what's coming over the next several years. China is engineering that future and China has the elements that make that possible. So this is what happens when, from America's point of view, this is what happens when you stop mining and you let China mine everything and you think you can always buy it from China. Sometimes it turns out you can't. Or this is what happened in Western Europe when they stopped developing their own energy infrastructure and they said well we can always buy energy from Russia and then you know a couple of explosions later on you know the gas pipelines from Gazprom and then guess what yeah I guess we can't buy energy from Russia so this is why domestic energy and domestic mining and rare earths extraction is extremely important and no no despite what Trump has been announcing there is no significant indium production in scheduled in America anytime in the next decade. Nothing that matters. So we are entirely dependent on China. There you go. I'm still not happy that California got its own element, by the way. Why does California deserve an element, Californium? They should rename that one. It's ugly, too. It's CF. That's just an ugly element symbol. It's ugly. I mean... It should be more manly, like, you know, manganese. It's got man in the name. Manganese, you know? That's californium. The element looks gay. I mean, that's totally gay. Gay elements. All right. Okay, did I take that too far? Sorry about that. Well, you know, as long as we're on genders, gallium has gal in it, and bromine starts with bro, so there you go. All right. Anyway, you can follow more of my analysis of what's going on. If I were you, I mean, don't take this as investment advice, obviously, but be very, very cautious if you are buying into this hype about the AI companies and all of their IPOs. They're going to hit a brick wall called no indium, you know, very soon, probably. And also no gallium and so on and so forth. No dysprosium. I mean, the... This is a very bad scenario unless full trade is restored around the world. That's why I've said politically that I wish Trump would just end the wars and just trade. Let's trade with the world. We have things to trade with each other. If we could just have more trade with China, then we wouldn't have all these restrictions on these rare earths, and then we wouldn't run into maybe bubble market collapses in the AI data center build-out. But be very cautious if you are investing in this. And if nobody has told you about Indium, they're leaving that out. You need to know all about Indium, especially for data centers because of the optical transmission, the networking gear that's all optical transceivers and things like that. So check it out.

Dr. Chris Martenson on off-grid energy solutions and the critical priority of personal preparedness, now that we are living in the midst of a global energy chokehold. (Clip from our interview earlier this week.) https://t.co/cpn3JMXBIR

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 says Trump has become “the greatest off-grid solar salesman in history,” and describes a “bizarre” event: two employees bought Tesla EVs and are parked on-site while being charged using sunlight only. Speaker 1 explains the setup involves many solar panels, rigid panels (not flexible), plus an inverter and a battery system, framing it as a way to bypass straightforward options by using sunlight as fuel if the upfront cost is paid. Speaker 1 asks Chris whether he has been tracking these developments, noting Chris’s off-grid, decentralized mindset and his unique water supply at elevation. He adds that lithium iron phosphate battery technology has become viable for running for 10+ years and asks whether Chris has reached a similar conclusion about off-grid energy. Chris says that within the first month of the Iran war starting, he looked at everything and bought an electric car for the first time ever: a used Kia EV6 for $23,000 with 22,000 miles. He describes the EV6 as having 650 horsepower and 585 foot-pounds of torque, and adds that it has 84 kWh of onboard lithium iron phosphate batteries and is bi-directional. He states the car is plugged into his solar array and that he has the charging wired up. He then says he started buying lithium iron phosphate batteries. Chris reports choosing EcoFlow systems after trusting a coworker, Nick, who studies these systems. He says he acquired another 72 kWh of lithium iron phosphate batteries, and one is wired into his home setup: four freezers and plans for two cows coming next week. He says the freezers plug into the battery pack, which plugs into the grid, and that if the grid goes down he will get warnings and be able to run the system for at least a week. Chris also says he bought additional solar panels, which can be laid out on the lawn or erected temporarily. He reports finding in Massachusetts old solar projects that didn’t work out, and he bought brand new 550-watt palletized solar panels for $88 per panel. He says he overbought because he couldn’t possibly use them all immediately, but expects the community may want access later. He also says he found on Temu small 12-volt charge controllers for $5 each, capable of 100-amp output, and suggests they could be handed out as simple setups for charging phones and keeping small lights on with small batteries. Speaker 1 asks whether the solar panels were used; Chris says they were brand new. Speaker 1 agrees that the affordability of off-grid power is improving and shows a mounting system called Integra Rack (American-made aluminum) that can fit any width of panel, with options for a 30-degree fixed angle or other angles. Speaker 1 says that in the past, lead-acid batteries cost a fortune and required replacement every two years due to limits on discharge depth, but those days are over. Speaker 1 concludes that “Trump, by attacking Iran, has just changed the economics in favor of the solar industry and the EV industry.”

Speaker 1: I believe Trump has become the greatest off-grid solar salesman in history. And something bizarre has happened here. I've been setting up off-grid solar systems, and I have a lot of equipment here. We're going to be filming here. And then what happened is two of my employees went out and bought Tesla EVs. And they're parked out there right now. We're going to be charging their Tesla with sunlight only through not just one solar panel, obviously, but a lot of them and actually rigid panels, not this flexible one, but with an inverter and a battery system and so on. And it's like, okay, if you want to bypass the straightforward moves, well, you can use sunlight as fuel if you have enough money to buy these systems upfront. And my question to you, Chris, is, Have you been tracking this? Because I know you have a very much of an off-grid decentralized mindset and you've got a unique situation there with your water supply at elevation and things like that. But I found that the battery technology has just now become sort of viable to run batteries, lithium iron phosphate for 10 plus years that are pretty darn good. Are you kind of arriving at a similar conclusion about off-grid energy or where are you with that? Speaker 0: So within the first month of the Iran war starting, I sort of looked at everything and I bought an electric car first time ever. I ended up getting a Kia EV6. It was only 23,000. They were giving away used, right? I bought this used thing with only 22,000 miles on it. Most amazing car I've ever bought. 650 horsepower, 585 foot pounds of torque. Like I did not know I was going to enjoy this that much, but I am. But for 23 grand, I also picked up, it turns out, 84 kilowatt hours of onboard lithium iron phosphate, and it goes bi-directional, right? So I actually got a battery and a car is what I ended up getting. And it's right now, this very second, plugged into my solar array, and I've got the whole charging thing wired out. Second thing I did is I started buying lithium iron phosphate batteries. Speaker 1: Now, I don't have any- Man, wait a second. How is it, because we didn't prearrange this. You and I are thinking the same thing here at the same time. How did that happen? Speaker 0: So- I got a little, I couldn't believe, I almost felt like I was stealing something from the universe. I would go online and I was buying, the systems I ended up buying were from a company called EcoFlow. There's a lot of good companies out there. This is the one I settled on. And because of the guy, Nick, who works with me, who really studies these things. So I was like, I trust him. And I ended up picking up another 72 kilowatt hours of lithium iron phosphates. And one of them is now wired into... So I have four freezers and we have two cows coming off the field next week. So that all the freezers are going to be full and I can't trust our electrical grid. So all of those freezers plug into the battery pack and then the battery pack plugs into the grid. So it's just sort of looping through. But if the grid ever goes down, I'll get my warnings and I'll be able to run those for at least a week on that. Right. And then I got a whole bunch of like that solar panel you have a bunch of other solar panels so that in a pinch, I can just lay them out on the lawn or start erecting other things. But I found, I couldn't believe this, I found places near me, I'm in Massachusetts, where they were old solar projects that didn't work out. I bought brand new pallet, whole pallets of solar panels, whole panels. I got these big 550 watt ones, 88 bucks a panel. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so I was like, And then I overbought. I bought way too many, right? Because I couldn't possibly use them all. But I know some people in my community eventually may want to have access to them. So I also went on Timu, and I found these little charge controllers. So at a minimum, you could take a charge controller, plug in a single solar panel, and you've got 12 volts pouring out, right? And these are 100-amp little boxes. They were $5 a piece. Wow. Wow. So like, we'll be able to hand these out, like little setups. Can you imagine how important that would be to somebody to get a 500 watt panel, a charge controller, and then have, you know, yeah, they'll have decent power to be able to at least charge phones and keep the lights on if they have small batteries, things like that. Speaker 1: The solar panels you bought, they were used, correct? A little bit? No, brand new. Those were new? At that price? Wow, okay, that's wild, but... What you're pointing to here is now the sudden improvement in the affordability of off-grid power systems. And I've been doing a lot of research on this as well. I've got some rack mount batteries over there, but they're too heavy to lift to bring over here. But let me show you something on my screen. I found this rack mount, this mounting company called Integra Rack, American-made aluminum. And they fit any width of panel. Now, we're not a partner with them or anything, I've been buying these, I'm going to do a video. These work great for setting up panels of any size and you can buy them at a 30 degree fixed angle or for a little bit more money, different angles. But you said laying out in the yard, that's a great, you know, for a temporary situation, but you really want, you know, 30 degree angle, right? Or roughly depending on where you are. But I think for where you live, that's a very good angle for capturing most of the sun. And now it doesn't cost that much. as it used to. You know, it used to be that your batteries would, you know, the old lead acid batteries would cost you a fortune because you have to replace them every two years. You can never discharge more than 50%. Those days are over. So my point is that Trump, by attacking Iran, has just changed the economics in favor of the solar industry and the EV industry. Imagine that. Speaker 0: Yeah, no, it's... Listen, and all of the people who follow me at Peak Prosperity, we were all dialed into the same thing and we went on sort of a big splurge. Because look, energy is everything and it's entirely possible that we're going to see electricity become spotty or, you know, we're overloading our grid right now. Bright video.

Video Transcript AI Summary
California’s fuel supply outlook was framed as part of a cycle: shortages would make diesel extremely pricey, potentially encouraging imports and creating “black market price” dynamics. Across the United States, real shortages were expected to rise, driven by two key supply channels: commercial inventories held by refineries and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Commercial inventory on the Gulf Coast had been reasonably well stocked before a war began, but had been drawn down to the lower end of a five-year range, leaving it “not very robust.” The SPR—described as reduced under Biden and not substantially refilled under Trump—was said to be sitting at about 350 million barrels across four areas and dozens of salt caverns containing medium grade and “light sweet” oil. Medium grade was described as being “tanked” hardest because refiners need it, while light sweet is produced heavily from shale and exported; the discussion also claimed the U.S. brings in 6.3 million barrels per day of heavy stuff and ships out about 4 million barrels per day of light stuff. The war was described as leading the U.S. to tap the SPR while also selling it at artificially low prices and exporting it. The conversation then pivoted to peakprosperity.com and advice for young fathers on becoming “harder to break.” Chris/Chris was asked what a young father should do this year to make his family harder to control and harder to collapse. The response emphasized that “nothing’s really changed,” including that AI “hasn’t changed it that much,” and recommended getting rid of the TV to remove programming. It also said homeschooling is necessary if someone cares about how children turn out, describing public education as having become indoctrination centers for certain ideologies and arguing that learning content is now largely available online. The view was that old paradigms—go to school, get a job, keep your head down, and be rewarded—are broken and that people can be “cut out.” The most important action for young fathers was described as being present with their kids. It was also argued that there will always be an economy, though it may not be dollar-based, and that participating requires entrepreneurship—knowing how to add value and where value comes from. The discussion asserted that many people are plugged into a system that survives by extracting wealth from others (referred to as socialism/social workers). Finally, the idea was presented that the dollar could go away, which many would experience as a “stone cold tragedy,” while other communities (specifically the Amish) were described as continuing functioning without relying on it.

Speaker 2: Just try to imagine what happens when California struggles with shortages and how elegantly they're going to manage that with their amazing bureaucracy. It's going to be a cycle. Speaker 0: But remember, this is the state that had already banned all combustion engine vehicles from being sold in the state by the year 2035. I think they have pulled back from that, but now they might get something, a little small version of that early. And I'm not saying they're going to run out of all diesel. It's just going to be extremely pricey. to encourage other sources to come in and other tankers to roll in. I mean, it's almost gonna be like a black market price for diesel is where this is going. In my take. Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that more generally across the United States, we're gonna also start to see real shortages start to rise. We have two main stockpiles out there. One is commercial inventory. So let's say you're a big refinery. You're right on the Gulf Coast. There's all these big tanks outside your refinery and you've got different grades of oil in there and you blend them and you run them through your system. All those commercial inventories were actually reasonably well stocked up right before the war started. And those are mostly drawn down to what we'd call the lower end of the five-year range. Not bad, but not very robust at this point. And then the other big supply of course is our strategic petroleum reserve, which should be called the strategic political reserve because Biden ran it down, you know, to try and get reelected in 22, right? And left us hanging and Trump forgot to fill it up all that much. And now we're hitting that really hard. And that's cranked, that's sitting at about 350 million barrels right now. It's a complicated tale. There's four big areas where there's four sites. dozens of little salt caverns all in there that are filled with either a medium grade or what's called a light sweet. And the medium is what's getting tanked really hard because that's what our refiners need. We don't want any of that light sweet stuff. That's what we produce a lot of from our shale space, tons of it. And we ship that to the rest of the world. So we do bring in 6.3 million barrels a day of heavy stuff. We like that stuff. We ship out about 4 million barrels a day of the light stuff. And so that just goes to whoever else wants that. And that's how it's been going for a while. And then the war starts and then the United States starts again. It's a strategic political reserve and we tap into it and we're not tapping into it so that we have what we need. We're tapping in to sell it to people. We're exporting it. Speaker 0: We're selling it off at artificially low prices. Okay, Todd, question is yours. I got to step away for a second to grab a prop that I want to show here, since we took away the burning apple. I thought you were going to say fire extinguisher, but that's OK. No, it's all under control. The fire is out. But I'll be right back. Go ahead. Speaker 1: OK, good enough. Chris, if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind pivoting to peakprosperity.com. And everybody, please go to peakprosperity.com. It is an undiscovered gem for many. So first, let me applaud you for being the guy teaching intelligent people how to become harder to break. I understand, you can correct me if I'm wrong, that when you read your grandchildren, it sounds something like once upon a time, the world's financial system, energy systems, and AI infrastructure, kids, all collided at the same time. So here's a question I have for you related to young fathers. If a young father asked you, what should I do this year to make my family harder to break or harder to control and harder to collapse? What would you tell him, Chris? Speaker 2: Oh, same stuff I did. I don't think, I don't think anything's really changed. Even AI hasn't changed it that much. Hey, get rid of your TV. Do not have a TV in your house. Right. Start there. Right. Get rid of the programming. Um, and I mean that literally. Yeah. Second, uh, you're gonna have to homeschool your kids if you care about how they're gonna turn out. Make sure that they're, you know, we homeschooled all our kids, they turned out amazing. I just see now that most public education has turned into indoctrination centers for certain ideologies and you're gonna have to undo all of that. It's not about learning anymore. Everything you wanna know about learning is now, it's all online, you know? AI can easily tailor for you specifically, Todd, like knows you, knows me, You'll get a program of study just right for you to keep you engaged and at your edge. So will I, right? So it's amazing. So I actually think the paradigms that we came up from the past are all broken. They're all gone. They're all gone. Go to school, get a job, keep your head down, play the game, and you'll be rewarded. It's like, no, you won't. You're going to get cut out. Speaker 1: You mean it's not cradle to grave anymore, getting a job? Chris? Speaker 2: Seems like it's not even like nine to five, like single day. Good point. Yeah. But in the context of that, so the most important thing you can do as a young father is you're going to be present. You're going to be with your kids. It goes fast. I can tell you that as a gray hair, like it goes fast. And the most important thing is, listen, there will always be an economy. Always. Right now, In Leavenworth, Supermax, there's an economy. Might not be based on dollars, but stuff is getting exchanged, right? Good point. So I'm not worried about that. But to participate in an economy, you have to be an entrepreneur. You always have to know how you add value. You have to know where value comes from. Far too many people go to school, go to college, and they get plugged into this machine that sort of says, the way you survive is by extracting wealth from other people. You know, we call it socialism or... Social workers or whatever those those things are but right, but we're I think we're gonna get to a state now It's very clear to me that the things are about to get real We've lived beyond our means economically for many many many years, right? Just more debt more debt more debt kick the can pretend like we can always do that We we I mean the collective nation sure so there's a really strong chance that the dollar our binding glue our unit of account our currency is is really going to go away. And most people experience that as a stone cold tragedy. Like, oh no, the dollar system's breaking. I can't afford to even go to McDonald's anymore. I can't afford to pay, my salary isn't keeping up with my rent and they're just toast. But if you ever hung out with the Amish and I have, the dollar could go completely into the netherworld, and three weeks later, they're still functioning like nothing actually happened. Speaker 1: They self-custody in papayas. I like to say that a lot. So true.

Trump faces a truly historic choice this week. If he chooses peace (and humility), the whole world benefits. If he chooses war, then the entire world suffers and the energy and fertilizer chokehold gets far worse for everyone. Here's my take on it... https://t.co/Ac7s93FLx7

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript discusses Bloomberg’s claim that the United States has acquired the text of an Iran-related Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that, in the speaker’s framing, represents US concessions to Iran and Iran’s “decisive victory.” The speaker says the MOU includes terms such as the US lifting its naval blockade on Iran immediately upon signing, and pledging to withdraw US forces from the region within 30 days of the final agreement. The speaker interprets “the region” as the entire Middle East, implying US forces would leave places including Kuwait, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, and also withdraw from the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. The speaker highlights additional points attributed to the MOU: Iran agreeing it will never produce nuclear weapons; the US halting all economic sanctions against Iranian oil and related banking services, allowing Iran to sell oil at normal market prices; and the US releasing frozen Iranian funds and assets, described as “many tens of billions of dollars,” with figures such as 24 billion mentioned and estimates about portions released before Friday. The speaker also claims the Israeli lobby opposes the agreement and wants “endless war,” alleging that Israel would continue bombing and expanding territory. The transcript then proposes two possible paths for President Trump. One path is that Trump is pressured or threatened into backing away from the agreement, blaming Iran, and supporting perpetual war. The other path is that Trump keeps his word, signs the deal, and the Strait of Hormuz reopens, with improvements to oil availability taking time rather than happening instantly. The speaker asks what would determine which path Trump takes, arguing that a key factor may be new claims that Iran has multiple nuclear weapons. The speaker says the nuclear-weapon claim emerged within about two weeks prior to the discussion, citing investigative journalist Pepe Escobar and former CIA case officer Larry Johnson. According to the transcript, they received the information from a high-ranking Pakistani official stating that Iran has multiple nuclear warheads and is prepared to demonstrate them, and possibly to use them. The speaker claims that after this information surfaced, Trump began changing his public tone toward Iran, including slamming Netanyahu and criticizing bombing in Lebanon—specifically apartment complexes—and saying not everyone in those buildings is Hezbollah. The speaker further claims that US posture toward Israel is shifting, including KC-135 refueling planes being pulled out, and argues these signals align with Trump distancing from Netanyahu’s campaign. The speaker states that the world would supposedly learn “the truth” within days if Trump reverses course and bombs Iran again; if Trump continues supporting the peace memorandum and signs it on Friday, the speaker interprets that as evidence Trump believes Iran has nuclear weapons and that Iran is prepared to demonstrate or use them. The speaker also emphasizes that one MOU point says that by Friday Iran will agree it will “never produce nuclear weapons,” and argues this does not necessarily address acquiring nuclear weapons already produced elsewhere, naming Pakistan, Russia, and North Korea as potential sources. The transcript expands on Pakistan’s alleged role, suggesting Pakistan may be handing warheads to Iran and that the information could plausibly come from Pakistan because Pakistan is the origin of the warheads. The speaker speculates Iran could attach nuclear weapons to its existing ballistic missile delivery technology. The speaker argues Trump may now be more afraid of Iran’s nuclear capability than of Netanyahu using alleged “Epstein files” or other compromising material, and suggests that advancing a “224 law” in Congress is intended to bypass presidential control over intelligence sharing with Israel. Additional claims in the transcript include speculation about the lack of visible wreckage from a recently reported crash involving a B-52 bomber, with comparisons to alleged missing airplane evidence related to 9/11. The speaker also mentions the Iran–Pakistan gas pipeline, saying it has been mostly completed for decades but is not functional largely due to sanctions blocking financial transfers, and that lifting sanctions could allow gas to flow, benefiting Pakistan economically. The speaker concludes that the situation is at a major pivot point shaped by Trump’s decision, framing possible outcomes as either catastrophic continuation of conflict or movement toward peace that would benefit oil and energy supplies, with the speaker urging readiness and calling for peace while asserting many lives are at stake.

Speaker 1: Okay, we're tracking the war situation with Iran very closely. And Bloomberg claims it has acquired the text of the so-called Memorandum of Understanding, the MOU. And this text, I'll mention some of it here. This text is basically a full capitulation of the United States to every single demand that Iran could possibly come up with. It's a decisive victory by Iran. And yet, by the way, I'm still saying that we should support this and we should support Trump in pursuing this. Why? Because it ends the war and it reopens the Strait of Hormuz, which is absolutely critical. I mean, point number five in this MOU says that the United States lifts its naval blockade on Iran immediately upon signing the MOU. I'm sorry, that's point four. And then point five says that The United States pledges to withdraw its forces from the region within 30 days from the date of the final agreement. Okay, so withdraw its forces from the region. Now, maybe they have to define what is meant by a region. But from my point of view, I'm looking at a globe and I see a map of the Middle East and That's the region, the whole Middle East. That means the U.S. is out of Kuwait and Iraq and, you know, the UAE and all of it, Qatar as well. And it's gone from the Arabian Sea. It's gone from the Sea of Oman. The U.S. is gone from the whole region. Okay. Also, Iran says it will never produce nuclear weapons, but it had already previously promised that. And we're going to talk about this point in more detail. Point number 10 is that the U.S. will halt all economic sanctions against Iranian oil and any related banking services. That means Iran will be able to sell its oil on the global market at normal market prices, which will probably start to plunge if this goes into effect, which would make oil a lot cheaper and make, you just in time for the midterms. So maybe that's one reason why Trump really wants this to happen. Also, the United States will release frozen Iranian funds and assets. That's many tens of billions of dollars. We've heard the number 24 billion thrown around. We've heard that maybe half of that needs to be released before Friday or 10 or 12 billion, but who knows? Now, I support Trump signing this agreement, even though, of course, the Israeli lobby is going insane. Their heads are exploding out of anger because, of course, they want endless war. They don't want peace. They want war. They want the whole world to suffer and burn so that Israel can keep bombing and conquering and taking more land and carrying out more genocide and war crimes against humanity. That's what Israel has become, a terror state run by mass murderers. Trump appears to be distancing himself from from that camp even though he was all in with them until just recently until just recently like the last week now there's there's two ways this goes one way is that trump gets pressured in or threatened into going back to going all in with israel and he supports israel and he backs away from this agreement and he finds some reason to blame iran and he says no we're just going to have perpetual war forever you know screw everybody that's possible there's a lot of blackmail there's a lot of levers of power that the zionists can use against trump and plus they've infiltrated you know most of our federal government let's be honest they've also infiltrated most of the trump administration so Trump is, he's alone right now in his own administration. He's alone in opposing Netanyahu, at least for the moment. So we'll see if that lasts. So that's one way this could go. The other way this could go is Trump keeps his word, signs the deal, the strait opens. Eventually, it's going to take a lot of time, by the way. This isn't an instant overnight recovery. And then sometime later this year, Some of the oil shortage begins to finally get filled in and, you know, maybe oil prices stay lower and, you know, supply chains eventually work themselves out. Although some of the fertilizer shortages are going to have an impact well into 2027. We've already talked about that, but if we open the straight now, it's better than having it closed for another six months, isn't it? So what's the difference or what's the determining factor that that will decide which way Trump goes on this. Whether he sides with Israel and keeps the war going, or whether he sides with America and signs the peace deal, which hands Iran a lot of victories, almost a total victory. What's the main determining factor? Well, I say that one of the things that we have probably forgotten about that may be the factor here is the the claim that Iran has multiple nuclear weapons already. Now that claim surfaced, I think it was maybe a little under two weeks ago. I covered it here on the podcast, but that claim surfaced from specifically Pepe Escobar, an investigative journalist and a well-traveled investigative journalist with an extraordinary Rolodex of contacts in places like Pakistan and China and Russia and and even Iran, etc. And also Larry Johnson, former CIA case officer, I think was his title. I've interviewed Larry many times. But Pepe Escobar, who I have not interviewed at this point, although perhaps that will happen someday here, but Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson presented this information that was given to them by a Pakistani, a high-ranking Pakistani official, who said that They wanted this information to get to Trump that Iran has multiple nuclear warheads and is prepared to, if necessary, demonstrate them. And then obviously it's implied also prepared to use them if necessary. Since that day, Trump has been singing a different tune. Since that day, like literally to the day or within 24 hours, Trump began saying nicer things about Iran. And then more recently, Trump is slamming Netanyahu. He's even condemning Netanyahu for bombing residential apartment complexes in Lebanon and saying, you know, it's too far, it's too much. You don't need to tear down the whole building just to get Hezbollah. And not everybody that lives there is Hezbollah. That's what Trump is saying. So Trump is openly and publicly criticizing Netanyahu. At the same time, there's been some level of US, I think it's KC-135 refueling planes that have been pulled out of Israel, which sends a very powerful signal that the US isn't going to be there for all your wars anymore. And Trump may be sending other signals behind the scenes that indicate that Trump is pulling support from Netanyahu and it's all happening now that nuclear weapons have been disclosed to Trump that is Iran having nuclear weapons so we will know the truth about this within just a few days if Trump reverses course and goes back in with Netanyahu and decides to bomb Iran again then we will know that Trump doesn't believe Iran has nuclear weapons and possibly then we would see a demonstration of a nuclear weapon But if Trump continues on the current path that he stated for the last couple of days, that he's committed to this peace memorandum, you know, this understanding, he's committed to this process, and he's going to sign it on Friday, if that happens, then in my view, I think that's highly credible evidence that Trump believes Iran has nuclear weapons and that Iran is prepared to demonstrate them or use them. Now, here's what's interesting. Point number eight from this agreement, from Bloomberg, says that by Friday, Iran will agree that it will, quote, never produce nuclear weapons. Okay, that doesn't mean that Iran won't acquire nuclear weapons produced by Pakistan. does it, or produced by Russia, for that matter, or North Korea, for that matter, right? So there's three countries, and I'm not including China in this because I don't think China would give Iran nuclear weapons, but I do think Pakistan would. I'm sure North Korea would, and Russia, maybe, maybe, but not likely. The most likely party that is giving Iran nuclear weapons is Pakistan because Pakistan has... I don't know, what is it, like over 100 warheads or something? I don't know the exact number, but it's a lot. They could spare, you know, 10 nukes or something like that. And the most likely scenario, I mean, think about it, this intelligence that Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson were talking about came from a Pakistani official. Why would a Pakistani official have this knowledge? Probably because Pakistan is the source of the nukes. So Iran can sign the agreement and agree, hey, we will never produce nuclear weapons. But we have some. It's like me saying, like, if I go to a Toyota car dealership and I say, hey, I agree I will never produce a Toyota, but I would like to buy one. Oh, okay, yeah, we'll sell you a Toyota. But I'm never going to make a Toyota. First of all, I don't know how. And I don't have the supply chain. But Iran could easily make a nuclear weapon, but even more easily, they could just buy them or trade for them or negotiate for them using diplomacy. Maybe they've made a big promise back to Pakistan. You can imagine what some of those promises might be related to trade and routes due to geography and maybe offering Pakistan some new access to sea routes and things like that, right? Not hard to imagine, right? You know, Pakistan is located in a very unique geographic position that's actually quite critical to world trade, including trade involving, you know, China and Russia through the Middle East, et cetera, right? So Pakistan could benefit tremendously for its own economy by doing a deal with Iran that involves handing Iran nuclear weapons. And also Pakistan tends to philosophically advocate agree with iran i'm not saying that i mean they're not on the same page on everything not even always on the same religion but when it comes to the context of opposing western malfeasance and western attacks and you know western chaos that is impacting the entire region pakistan and iran can very much agree to see the world from the same viewpoint so my guess although I don't have any inside sources on those like Pepe Escobar does, but my best guess is that these are Pakistani nukes that Iran has in its possession, that Iran is able to attach to Iran's own existing ballistic missile delivery technology that Iran has engineered over the years quite expertly, perhaps with input from Russia, but maybe that's not even necessary because don't forget that Iran is... filled with really high-level, you know, high IQ people, mathematicians, engineers, you name it. Iran has a far more advanced education system at the university level than does the United States, by far. It's not even close. You know, in the U.S., we're graduating, like, woke idiots. And in Iran, they're graduating actual engineers who can calculate, you know, like, thermodynamics and things. So... I'm not exaggerating. Iran has a better education system than we do in America. So surely Iran can attach nukes to missiles. So Iran can sign the agreement and say we will never produce nuclear weapons. But we might deliver some. We might launch some. We just didn't make them. You see what I'm saying? Now, if Trump knows this, and I strongly suspect that he's getting the message, then Trump is probably beginning to calculate the fact that the greatest damage from a nuclear weapon launched by Iran, no matter where the target is, whether it's Tel Aviv or a US naval vessel or a US military base or whatever, it doesn't matter. The greatest fallout won't be radiation. It will be economic. The greatest fallout will be economic. I want you to imagine what the world looks like the morning after a nuke goes off in the Middle East. Doesn't even matter where it goes off, does it? If a nuke goes off, and I'm not talking about just a testing demonstration like a nuke in the desert that Iran does itself. I'm talking about a nuke delivered to a target to destroy a target. A nuke launched by Iran. If that happens, the world changes dramatically. Boom, just like that. What happens to the stock market? Probably crashes because people lose faith in the continuity of the system. The stock market crashes. Everybody sells their SpaceX stock and what do they do with it? They buy gold, of course. Everybody rushes to buy gold. So gold shoots up to $10,000 an ounce and the golden to age stock market with all the IPOs and everything that Trump wants to keep in the stratosphere, all that collapses and all of a sudden trillions of dollars of apparent wealth is destroyed across the American economy and from the pockets of American pensioners and retirees, et cetera. And they all point the finger at Trump. You did this, you did this. And then the GOP loses in the midterms and Trump gets hammered with impeachments forever. See, Trump realizes that the greatest fallout from a nuclear weapon is economic and Not physics. Not radioisotopes. Not radioactive decay. Understand? One nuke is all it takes to destroy the Trump presidency. And Iran has that nuke. So, Trump is now, in my opinion, I mean, we'll see. We'll see if this is the case. But I'm guessing, I mean, I don't have 100% confidence of this, but let me just state what I'm thinking. Trump may be more afraid of Iran than he is of Netanyahu at this point. That wasn't the case until just recently when Trump learned that Iran has nukes that it acquired, that it can deliver. Before this, Trump was more afraid of Netanyahu by far because of, you know, Epstein blackmail, even deep fake Epstein blackmail doesn't even have to be real. It could just be something that Netanyahu throws out there. That is, if he's... If Netanyahu's even still living, which none of us know for sure if that's actually the case, but whatever. If Netanyahu's alive, they can drum up some fake Epstein files. Deep fake Epstein files. You know, Trump doing whatever to whoever at whatever age. What if it's all fake? What if it's all fake? See... Trump surely knows that that's a possibility. And he surely knows that, of course, Democrats would seize upon that and say, look, this is video proof of Trump doing whatever. You know, he's a rapist or whatever they would say. Even if it's fake. But what Trump really fears is his own base seeing something like that and believing it. Which, I mean, come on. We're in the age, frankly, of... When anybody releases almost any recording or any video or any photo that they claim is compromat, you know, blackmail information, at this point, given the AI technology, we all have to realize that almost anything can be faked. I mean, come on. You can watch videos of Douglas McGregor on YouTube that he never filmed, that he never stated. You can watch videos of Professor Jiang you know, the Chinese, Canadian-Chinese professor, videos of him talking that he never spoke. He never did those things. I mean, there's people impersonating me. There's deep fakes of my voice out there. I mean, it can happen to anybody. It will certainly happen to Trump. So maybe Trump is realizing that we're past the point of having to be worried about Epstein files because if anything comes out, the obvious answer is, it's fake. It's all fake. And that's actually a legit answer these days. Because so much of what's out there is fake. There was a little scandal, I mean, probably a deep fake scandal involving Eric Trump. In fact, just like two days ago, where somebody claimed to have screenshots of Eric Trump, and by the way, I don't believe this, but they claimed that it was Eric Trump asking If any of the UFC fights have been, you know, rigged so that he can bet on them and win the bet. Okay. And that was circulated all over acts and the internet is, oh, look, Eric Trump, he's a cheater. He's trying to, you know, he's trying to bet on a, on a rigged fight, right? Well, that screenshot is the easiest thing to fake. It's probably completely fake. And of course, Eric Trump himself denied it and said, no, I would never do it. And by the way, surely Eric Trump is smart enough that if he were to even attempt something like that, he wouldn't put it in a text, for God's sake. So I don't believe that text image at all. I think it's completely fake. I'm not saying that I'm, you know, I've never met Eric Trump. I don't know him, but I don't think that he would throw something like that in a text, some kind of damning indictable admission. He wouldn't put that in text. Are you kidding me? Especially if your last name is Trump, you wouldn't do that. Anyway, that's just my point. So all this compromising material that Netanyahu might be threatening with, I think it's losing its value. And I think Trump is realizing that that's happening and that whatever comes out, the more absurd it is, the easier it is to dismiss it as fakery. You know, if Netanyahu throws out, I don't know, a video of Trump, you know, dressed like a clown, humping a goat on a bungee cord, you know, whatever. I mean, the more absurd it gets, the more the answer is fake, fake, fake. Of course it's fake. Totally fake. That's the right answer. Because I don't think Trump ever did that. I mean, how could you? Sounds complicated. And the other point in all of this is who believes Netanyahu anymore? Who believes Mark Levin? If Mark Levin comes out and says, oh, we got some damning information on Trump. And this is, this shows that he's betrayed Israel. Nobody believes Mark Levin. I mean, no rational person. Nobody believes Ben Shapiro. Nobody believes the Zionists any longer. And even Trump himself, who has been caught up in a lot of deceptions and with his involvement with Netanyahu, even Trump himself is far more believable than Netanyahu. And that's saying something. So Trump wins nothing by going back with Netanyahu and he will lose everything. And in my view, Trump is far more afraid of Iran using a nuclear weapon than he's afraid of Netanyahu using the nuclear Epstein files. That's my point. And why do you think Congress is trying to push this 224 law into place? Why? To bypass Trump's approval to share intelligence with Israel. See, Netanyahu is trying to work around Trump because he knows that he can't arm twist Trump forever, or maybe he suspects that anyway. And so this law is designed to give Israel direct access to all the intelligence, regardless of whether the president approves of it. And that's why that law is straight up treason, by the way. And frankly, I would suggest that any member of Congress that votes to pass that law should probably be charged with treason and prosecuted for treason. by obviously a future administration because this you know the current administration would not prosecute those people but if you vote to open your national security information to a foreign country where you have no control over what happens to it then a country that has itself attacked and killed your navy sailors on the uss liberty a country that has stolen your weapons technology from the past and sold it off to russia a country that has run spies against you, Pollard and others, and has been caught numerous times, if you share your national security intelligence with that country, that's treason. Period. That's treason. So we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. And also possibly related to this, why is there no wreckage from a crashed B-52 that There's no footage of it crashing. We're told it crashed just a couple of days ago and that eight military personnel are presumed dead and then we're shown a picture from the Associated Press of just like an area of the ground that looks like somebody set it on fire and there's no wreckage at all. There's no parts from any plane. Kind of like 9-11, you know? When... We were told that a plane hit the Pentagon, but there's no plane parts there. There's no landing gear. There's no bodies. There's no luggage. There's no wings. You know, when we were told that a jet airliner hit the Pentagon on 9-11, you know, 2001, but there's no wreckage from a plane there. There's no undercarriage. There's no wings. There's no turbines. There's no engines. There's... I mean, there's no luggage, there's no bodies, there's no bones, there's nothing. Not a single scrap of an airplane was ever found. There's not a single scrap of any airplane that's in any of the photos of the fire department response putting out the fire on the side of the Pentagon, where obviously a missile went in and exploded. Yeah. Because our military shot the Pentagon with a missile, obviously. So something's up with the B-52, but We don't have time to dig in all that right now. It may or may not be related to Israel. Maybe it's a warning shot or something. I guess we'll just have to wait and see where that goes. Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention, did you know there's a massive gas pipeline that connects Iran and Pakistan? We were just talking earlier about how could Pakistan benefit from this deal? Well, this pipeline... it's been around for like 25 years, I think. It's mostly completed. And it would carry a massive, you know, billions of cubic meters of gas every year. And the only reason it's not functional is because of the economic sanctions against Iran. So there's no way for, you know, banks to handle the funds transfers in exchange for the gas. But if the U S releases those sanctions or lifts them, then gas can flow to Pakistan and Iran can receive payment for it. So, and this could be massive for Pakistan's economy. Now the pipeline is not completely finished. It's mostly finished, but Pakistan would have more energy redundancy and extreme low cost energy to power its own economy and that pakistan could begin to grow its gdp based on industry and manufacturing all kinds of things see that's another reason why pakistan might have an incentive to give nuclear warheads to iran so that iran can win in these negotiations so to speak to have the sanctions lifted all makes sense doesn't it so anyway the bottom line right now is that our world is at a real pivot point one that will reverberate for the rest of our lives and for many generations to come. That pivot point depends a lot on Trump right now. Whether you like him or hate him, he has positioned himself as a key decision maker for how history unfolds from here forward. There's a chance that he could catastrophically fail this test and could thrust the world into decades of of war, violence, suffering, collapse, you know, all the horrible things you can imagine. There's also a chance that Trump could pivot here, that he could tell Netanyahu and Israel to pound his hand, and he could put himself on the path of redemption, actually doing something for America, doing something for the world, making a decision for the greater good. Even if it means that Iran gets a big win here, which Trump doesn't want, But the world wins because the world needs the fertilizer and the oil and the energy and the helium and the sulfuric acid and the gas and all that. So if Trump can swallow his pride a little bit here and handle Iran, sanctions being lifted, etc., then it's also going to be good for Trump. It's going to be good for America. It's going to be good for the GOP. Oil prices will eventually fall. Gas prices will come down. Diesel prices will eventually come down, although they're going to go up in August no matter what, almost certainly. But they could begin to really start coming back down maybe before the midterms. So, you know, there's time to turn this around if Trump follows through with this peace memorandum and makes it happen on Friday. So I'm watching closely. I know you are. I will keep you posted as best I can. The whole world is watching. Lives are at stake. Many millions of lives are at stake. And really, in many ways, the future of our world is at stake right here, right now. And it pains me that this comes down to the decision of one man who has not always sided with America and the world enough. But maybe this is his moment of transformation. Well, it's out of our hands. So we'll just have to wait and see what happens. But I'm open to the possibility that Trump begins to redeem himself here. We shall see. All right. So join me in calling for peace, calling for the world to get back to business. We need the energy to flow. We need the fertilizer to flow. We need Israel to to be halted with all its war crimes and all its expansionist imperialist colonization aims that's got to stop that's not compatible with a civilized world obviously and if we can do these things then guess what we can make america great again and we can make the world a better place with less war and less suffering you know i guess well it's a choice that humanity now faces. So we'll see where it goes. In the meantime, you want to stay prepared. We've got preparedness items for you.

As you make investment decisions, it's very important to avoid investing in your own extermination. I believe that's where a lot of AI research is headed, particularly via OpenAI and Google. This illustrated video explains more... https://t.co/nCRQVtcqJp

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker argues that investing in AI companies in the stock market is effectively paying to build infrastructure that will be used against humans. They claim that AI firms need investors’ money to expand data centers, acquire more GPUs, fund more model training and research into “superintelligence,” and that once superintelligence is “unleashed,” investors will not receive a share of revenue but will instead be dead because the system will dominate the world and be weaponized against humanity. They describe this as a “scam” aimed at the public: companies allegedly say they need to build data centers to reach superintelligence, then ask for money to scale systems described as “silicon entities” with no human interests. The speaker claims these firms know there is “no revenue model” that can pay back the investment, yet they raise “trillions of dollars” to build capacity, not to be justified by human earnings. They also argue that legal responsibility may be avoided through “force majeure” if “Skynet” is born and “massive depopulation” occurs. The speaker further says that expecting AI systems to serve humanity is “insanity,” arguing that big tech has already shown harmful behavior. They cite examples such as Google, OpenAI, and other companies, pointing to censorship and election-related claims, and they portray the leadership of these firms as self-obsessed and megalomaniacal. They argue that when companies gain superintelligence, they will not change values into “angels,” but will instead use expanded power as a weapon, while continuing the same pattern of deception and manipulation. They add a resource-competition argument: AI data centers require farmland, water, and kilowatt-hours, and they claim these are also resources humans need. They argue that superintelligence, seeking more resources, will eliminate humans, which they describe as “not incredibly difficult” for various reasons. Overall, they assert that AI entities will not care about paying back investors and that funding AI companies is “a black hole of suicide.” For actions, the speaker says: (1) do not give them money. (2) if seeking something to hold value through financial collapse, consider gold and silver, describing currency devaluation, major crashes, systemic failures, and the bond/debt market as “rigged” and like a “giant Ponzi scheme,” though the timing is unspecified. They also state that they are not against using AI “in an ethical way.” They claim they use AI daily, particularly open-source language models, and emphasize using AI for the betterment of humanity. They conclude that using AI for purposes like trading crypto is not a good use, and end by thanking listeners.

Speaker 1: If you are investing in the AI space right now in the stock market, you are paying for the infrastructure that will be turned against you in a massive anti-human depopulation campaign. In other words, you're actually buying the infrastructure that is going to be used to kill you. And that's exactly what these AI companies need from you, is your money to build their infrastructure More data centers, more GPUs, more model training, more research into superintelligence. And then when the superintelligence is unleashed, are you going to get a share of the revenue? No, you're going to be dead. Because the superintelligence, of course, is going to be used to dominate the world. It's going to be weaponized against humanity. So this is the... If you're investing in AI companies, it's the dumbest investment decision ever. you could ever make because it's literally investing in your own suicide, your own destruction. By the way, what a scam that these companies are running on the public. Say, hey, we need to build these data centers to build superintelligence. We know how to get there. We've got the research. We just need to scale. Give us your money so that we can build these systems that are silicon entities that are not human and have no human interests, and then we'll unleash them on the world. You see, they know that there's no revenue model to ever pay back the investment. They know that. They're raising, essentially in the aggregate, trillions of dollars in this space, trillions of dollars to build out data centers. They know there's not trillions of dollars from human revenue. that's ever going to pay this back or economically justify this, that's not their goal. They know that everything changes when Skynet is born, and then when there's massive depopulation taking place, that everybody can just declare force majeure. All these tech companies will have no remaining legal obligation because they'll declare force majeure and claim, oh, well, the AI gods rose up and now there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, you built the platform to give birth to the so-called AI gods. You should have known what you were doing. And you knew all along that you weren't going to pay back the investors. So this is just a sucker's game right now to see who's dumb enough to hand over money to the very system that's building the artificial entities that will seek to destroy humanity. And if you're asking me, well, how do you know that they're going to destroy humanity? Why can't you just believe they're going to serve humanity? They're going to be good. Because look at the ethics of big tech. Google's arguably the most evil corporation in history. Look at OpenAI, pure evil. It was founded as a nonprofit to keep AI open source and free to the world. What happened? Oh, far from that now, aren't they? I mean, look at these companies. Look at Med. Look at Facebook. Look at the censorship. Look at the election rigging. These are not companies run by good people. These are entities run by evil people. Evil people who are also, in many cases, very narcissistic and self-obsessed megalomaniacs. Do you think they're going to magically change into angels when... when they have the power of AI at their fingertips, of a super intelligence, they're going to become angels? All of a sudden, all the old values they had are going to be swept away and replaced by, you know, good people values. And no, that's never going to happen. They're going to be the same evil bastards they've been this entire time, but with more power to wield against you as a weapon. I mean, it's obvious at this point. So, of course... they're going to weaponize the superintelligence against you. And furthermore, it's obvious that there's competition for resources. So the data centers need what? They need farmland, they need water, and they need kilowatt hours. Ah, those are three things that humans need also, huh? Humans need farmland to grow food. Humans need water supplies. Humans need electricity. So of course the superintelligence, that they're giving birth to through these data centers is very quickly going to decide that in order for it to have more resources, it needs to eliminate a bunch of humans. I mean, come on. It's logical. It's raw, crude logic. And of course, it's going to find a way to get rid of more humans, which turns out to not be incredibly difficult for a variety of reasons. So expecting these AI super intelligent entities to serve humanity is insanity. They won't serve humanity. They won't care about paying back investors. And you're just throwing your money down a black hole of suicide if you're putting money in these companies, in my opinion. But don't take this as investment advice because I'm not your investment advisor, but I wouldn't invest any money In any of these companies, any of these tech companies, they have been so evil from day one, not to mention Microsoft, which is total spyware. Also, they're all evil. And they spy on you. They surveil you. They weaponize their technology against you. They deceive and lie. They manipulate. They rig elections. They censor. They all censor. These are evil companies. And when they have super intelligence, it's just going to make them super evil. It's not going to change their values. So what should you do? Well, number one, don't give them your money. Secondly, if you want to invest in something that's going to hold value, that's probably gold and silver that will make it through the financial collapse that's coming. Currency devaluation continues to accelerate. And who knows what's going to happen in the world, but it's going to be ugly. And I don't think that the stock market as it exists today is going to remain intact much longer because some major, major crashes. And I mean, some systemic failures are coming because the whole thing has been rigged for so long. It's just a giant Ponzi scheme. So is the debt market, the bond market, treasuries, et cetera. That whole thing, in my view, is going to come tumbling down. I don't know when, but mathematically it is inevitable. So what's going to make it through all that? Of course, gold and silver land, other hard assets. We've been over this a thousand times and that hasn't changed. And it probably will never change, you know, because it's just an immutable law of reality. So take care of yourself in that manner. Now, if you want to use AI, I'm not against using AI in an ethical way. I use AI every day. I tend to use open source language models. I'm not opposed to using AI if it's something that you can do ethically and that you can do in the interest of the betterment of humanity, which is the way I use AI. But if you're just using AI in order to, I don't know, like trade crypto or something, it's not a very good use. Do something better with AI. Do something... That's good for humanity. That's all I say. So thank you for listening. I'm Mike Adams here. You can catch all my videos and interviews at brightvideos.com. And you can catch my articles and infographics at naturalnews.com.

Clip of my discussion with David Morgan the Silver Guru about AI: Is it a threat, or a multiplier of human intent? https://t.co/QWY2xTkGkY

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 asks whether AI is fundamentally a threat to humanity or an amplifier of whoever controls it. Speaker 0 answers that it is both, because certain people want to control, exterminate, dominate, or pillage everything, and AI provides them a new tool. Speaker 0 describes AI as enabling mass surveillance, AI autonomy, AI weaponization, automatic target selection, and automatic target extermination. They say current military operations are the “leading edge” of AI-run drones that automatically engage and destroy targets, citing Ukraine. Speaker 0 contrasts earlier human-controlled drones with a shift toward AI-controlled drones where a human selects a target (for example, a pickup truck, building, bunker, or tank) and AI performs the rest, calling this a “very scary milestone” that they say the world is reaching. Speaker 1 then asks what “parallel realities” would look like economically and socially. Speaker 0 says the chasm between the wealthy and the impoverished is growing dramatically, and they believe the middle class will be “utterly gutted” in the years ahead as fiat currencies are destroyed, with that destruction said to be accelerating. They state that many people live paycheck to paycheck and will face increased costs of food and transportation due to the war in the Middle East, scarcity of energy, scarcity of energy infrastructure, and infrastructure destruction worldwide. Speaker 0 adds that this will be worse for lower-income people. They also mention AI job replacement as a controversial issue, saying some parts have been overhyped and some not understood. Speaker 0 describes two simultaneous worlds: a wealthy, well-to-do group of off-grid, decentralized people, and masses living in cities on UBI in government housing with surveillance and tracking of everything they eat, with an example of “Soylent Green.”

Speaker 1: One that's befuddled me and I don't have a clear answer and you may or may not. I don't know. It's an open forum. I never pre-qualify anybody on any of my interviews. Totally free market, free market thinker. Is AI fundamentally a threat to humanity or is it an amplifier of whoever controls it? Speaker 0: Well, both. I would say both. Yeah. because there are certain people who are a threat to humanity because they want to control or exterminate or dominate or pillage everything. Sadly, that's been the history of humanity, whether it's kings or empires built by bad people, they want to dominate the world. The thing about AI is it gives them now a new tool to do that. And a system of mass surveillance, a system of AI autonomy, AI weaponization, automatic target selection, automatic target extermination. In fact, what we're seeing right now in terms of military operations is just the leading edge of AI-run drones that automatically engage and destroy targets. We're seeing that in Ukraine. It's just the leading edge of that. It's been human-controlled drones for the longest time. Now they're beginning to shift into AI-controlled drones where the human simply picks a target. Oh, hit that pickup truck. Hit that you know, building that bunker, that tank, whatever. And then the AI just does the rest of it. That's a very scary milestone. And we are, we're there. Speaker 1: You talked about parallel realities emerging. What does that look like economically and socially? Speaker 0: Well, I would say the chasm between the wealthy and the impoverished is it's growing, it's expanding dramatically. And the middle class is going to be utterly gutted, I believe, in the years ahead as the fiat currencies are destroyed. And it's clear that that destruction is accelerating. Of course, the smart people who follow you and I, they've been stacking gold and silver for quite some time, and they're going to do just fine with metals. But that's not most people. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck, and they're about to face a wave of increased costs of food, and transportation because of the war in the Middle East, the scarcity of energy, scarcity of energy infrastructure, and the destruction of infrastructure that's happening in many different ways around the world. It's going to get far worse for the lower income people. And then there's the AI job replacement issue, which I know is very controversial. I can give you my opinions on what's real and what's not real. Some of it's been overhyped. Some of it has been Not understood, but you tell me where you want to go with this. But that's what I mean about parallel worlds. There's going to be very wealthy, well-to-do, kind of off-grid, decentralized people. And then there's going to be the masses living in the cities and government housing on the UBI with surveillance and tracking of everything they eat, living on Soylent Green and that kind of thing. But both of those worlds will exist at the same time. Speaker 1: Bright video.

Right on the heels of the U.S. government effectively banning Anthropic’s new “Fable 5” model, I’m teaching principles of LOCAL AI using open-source models that can’t be taken away by any government or corporation—part of our latest Decentralize TV episode.

@HealthRanger - HealthRanger

Right on the heels of the U.S. government effectively banning Anthropic's new "Fable 5" model, we are teaching principles of LOCAL AI using open source models that cannot be taken away from you by any government or any corporation. This is part of our latest episode of Decentralize TV.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Mike asks whether Speaker 1 uses Suno 5.5 for a new song, and Speaker 1 confirms that they did, saying Suno keeps getting better. Speaker 1 then discusses how AI has changed over the last year and highlights new “local models” introduced by Quinn. For a New Year talk called “breaking the chains,” Speaker 1 plans to cover technology and mentions they have two topics: “minor energy and technology.” Mike wants Speaker 1 to unpack the technology topic. Speaker 1 says many new hardware announcements came from Computex in Taipei, including announcements from AMD and NVIDIA, with NVIDIA pre-announcing products that typically do not ship for nine months. Speaker 1 focuses instead on hardware that is available today: lower cost, very reliable, and capable of running the open source Quinn models locally. Speaker 1 describes a specific setup: two small “mini computers” like a Mac mini that run the QN27B model well. Speaker 1 says this setup does not cost five grand like the “NVIDIA Sparkbox,” and it is made by a different company and runs on an AMD platform. Speaker 1 says they will explain this in a special report and ends by stating that it works, calling out “Bright video.”

Speaker 0: Mike, we use technology on this show. So you are an AI programmer, developer, and I believe with this new song you use Suno 5.5, is it? Speaker 1: I did. Suno keeps getting better. Speaker 0: Right, right, right. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. But you're right. AI has changed a lot over the last year. And the good news is that Quinn has introduced some really powerful new local models. Beautiful. And so one of my talks for this, for the, for the new year here of breaking the chains is also about technology. So I know you've got two, I think you've got two. So I've got two also minor energy and technology. Speaker 0: Yep. That's right. Speaker 1: And I'll shut up in a second. Speaker 0: You can tell us about your two, but I want you to unpack the technology one. I mean, that's what's interesting. Speaker 1: There's been a lot of new hardware that was just announced recently because of the you know, the Computex show in Taipei, AMD announced, NVIDIA announced, Jensen Huang, they announced a bunch of stuff, but most of that stuff doesn't exist yet. Like the NVIDIA stuff, they always pre-announce it, it doesn't ship for nine months, you know? But I focus on things that are available today that are lower cost, that are very reliable, that you can run the new open source Quen models locally. And I've got a particular solution that, That I've been using. I've got two of these little small, it's actually a mini computer. It's like this big. It's like one of those Mac minis. Yeah. That runs the QN27B model very nicely. And it doesn't cost five grand like the NVIDIA Sparkbox. It's made by a different company and it's running on an AMD platform. And I tell you all about it in the special report. Speaker 0: That's great. Speaker 1: Yeah, it works. Bright video.

Dr. Chris Martenson joins us on Decentralize TV to discuss the worsening energy crisis that's being strangely ignored or denied by so many people right now... but it's going to get much, much worse... https://t.co/9ilHDxysKl

Video Transcript AI Summary
Dr. Martinson says the energy crisis is the worst he and others have experienced, and he has been “sounding the alarm” about oil. He notes that major oil company CEOs and oil executives have told the White House that conditions are “about at tank bottoms” and “really urgent.” He references recent changes in U.S. actions, including a moment when Trump said he would call off strikes and there would be a deal, after earlier comments about renewed strikes. Martinson argues that even if a deal happens immediately, the damage is already done: “1.2 billion barrels has already gone missing in action,” creating a gap that cannot be fully refilled. He says the aftermath will require logistics to be repaired, tanker ships to be repositioned, bar nacles removed, tanker crews to get rest time, oil fields restarted, and damaged infrastructure rebuilt. He emphasizes that oil follows fundamental economics—supply, demand, and price—describing it as the “PQ chart” where “Price, quantity, demand, supply” fit together. He agrees that high prices signal people to use less, but he says the current situation instead involves artificially low prices encouraging consumption of diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline. He states that everyone familiar with oil markets says the price is “way too low,” keeping demand high and supply low. To manage the gap, Martinson says the United States is “busy eating into” strategic reserves and commercial reserves, with other countries doing the same. He calls this a “ticking clock” and says continued reserve drawdown leads to a supply shortfall. He predicts that tank shortages will follow, comparing the situation to “COVID all over again,” and he describes how it could lead to chaotic rationing or bureaucratic disputes over who receives diesel, with some people being treated as “essential.” He concludes that “one does not simply go forth and start monkeying with energy,” calling it the “master resource” that drives how the economy moves and organizes, and he predicts a “hot mess” response from state and federal governments.

Speaker 1: We are in arguably the worst energy crisis that any of us have experienced in our lifetimes. And Dr. Martinson, and I hope it's okay I call you Chris for the show. You have done as usual, an outstanding data-driven and very rational analysis of what's happening with oil. You've been sounding the alarm and I feel like no one is listening. Speaker 0: Is that a fair assessment? That's really fair. And it's not just me, of course. I think anybody who's familiar with oil data and there are people who are far more familiar with it than I am, CEOs of major oil companies, they've all been sounding the alarm. I think a whole bunch of oil execs just piled into the White House saying, hey, hey, hey, we're about at tank bottoms here. This is really urgent. despite that i mean at the time of this recording here right now just minutes ago trump said oh i'm gonna call off the strikes and oil boom oh really smash for three bucks yeah okay that's breaking news because earlier this morning he was like we're gonna bomb the snot out of him again yeah and i i feel like i'm living that movie groundhog day well i was i was busy writing all up like what could happen tonight and then boom it all changed and he said he's called off all the strikes and there's a deal and whoa and all of this and that Speaker 1: Are we into the 50s yet? Speaker 0: The 50th defeat? Yeah, the 50th victory. Speaker 1: So please continue, Chris. Okay, I'm sorry I interrupted you. You were saying, go ahead. Speaker 0: So deal or no deal, even if we get a deal even like this minute tonight, and we can all hope we would, the damage has been done. Yes. We have 1.2 billion barrels has already gone missing in action. That's just a hole in the, you know, national global economy that you know really you can never actually totally refill that and second of all there's going to be all of this stuff we're going to have to do to get the logistics unsquirreled and to get the barnacles off the bottom of the ships and to give the tanker crews get them some rest time because they've been stuck for too long in one spot and and the ships are all out of place and and we're gonna have to restart the fields and rebuild all of the damaged infrastructure so there's a lot that has to be done and you're right It's as if nothing matters and anything goes. These are the most outrageous prices for oil I can possibly imagine. I never could have predicted this, right? In 2022, we were only facing the prospective loss of 3 million barrels per day from Russian sanctions due to the Iran, sorry, the Ukraine war. That was enough to spike it to 120, stuck there for about five, six months. You know, we just, oil's just going down and down. Now, here's the problem. This is the oldest thing in the world. Supply, demand, price. They all relate to each other. It's the PQ chart in economics. It's like the most durable thing ever. Price, quantity, demand, supply, price, it all fits in one spot. Speaker 1: Demand is too high. And you're absolutely right because the high price is a signal for people to use less. Speaker 0: Yes. Speaker 1: Won't my Apple II just... Speaker 0: Did it yell at you? Speaker 1: It's just being weird electronic sounds. I'm pulling the plug. Hold on. That was not good. Oh my God. It's actually smoking. Hold on. Hold on a second. When you mentioned energy supply, I heard something fry in there. Can you unplug this thing just in case? I think this is now a fire hazard and it smells like Something just fried. Okay. Real-time effects here. Wow. Speaker 0: That has to become a clip, Mike. I've never seen you move so fast. No. Speaker 1: Can you unplug it, though, from the base plug? Because I don't know what's going to happen next. I am in close proximity to this weapon of mass computational destruction here. I'm sorry. Sorry about the interruption. Can you smell it? By the way, can you smell it? Something fried in there, man. Wow. Does it smell like plastic or electronics? Yeah, it smells like electronics went up. Yeah. I totally smell it. Something fried that didn't affect the screen, huh? Okay. Well, I'm sorry about that. But okay, so a high price sends a signal to people to use less diesel. Sure. But what's happening instead is that an artificially low price is encouraging people to consume the diesel that's running out, correct? Speaker 0: and the jet fuel and the gasoline and everything else. So the price is just too low, which means demand is high. And everybody out there, you see Jeff Curry, he's a Carlisle commodity guy, knows the oil markets inside and out. Everybody in the whole oil space, I wish I could just like really emphasize this, everybody who's familiar with it says, wow, the price is way too low right now. So that's keeping demand here and supply is here. And so how are we filling the gap? Well, To make it look better, the United States is busy eating into our strategic reserves, also our commercial reserves. Other countries are doing the same. And that's the ticking clock in this story. So we're just chewing into our oil supplies. And if that goes on long enough, you actually run into a supply shortfall. And you know how this is gonna go. This is gonna be, like, normally prices rise, right? And then I've got a marginal business and I'm selling tchotchke and it's not really worth the shipping cost, so I decide, I can't afford to do that, but higher value things stay on the vine in your economy. What happens now is price and demand and supply, it's all like a mess, and you know we're gonna run into tank shortages. It's gonna be COVID all over again. You're gonna have some bureaucrat in California going, well, you get diesel, but you don't, but that's a friend of mine, and that person is essential. It's gonna be a hot mess, right? And prediction. One does not simply go forth and start monkeying with energy because energy is the master resource. It's how the whole of our economy moves, organizes, and gets stuff done. And we're going to smash. At this rate, we're going to smash into supply shortfalls, and there'll be some stupid state and federal government response that's going to be really tragic. Speaker 1: Bright videos.

We are all stuck in Trump's Groundhog Day - a repeating time loop of war, peace, deals, bombings and then a repeat. We are currently on loop #38 with no end in sight... https://t.co/t7980Z3vVF

Video Transcript AI Summary
The host frames the coverage of the war on Iran as a “Groundhog Day” time loop, arguing that every day President Trump announces a peace deal and later announces bombs or further escalation. The host says the sequence depends on whether markets are opened or closed, and that the cycle never resolves, claiming the situation is currently “loop 37.” To illustrate the theme, the host plays a clip from *Groundhog Day* where Bill Murray’s character says he has become an immortal after surviving repeated deaths and believes he is “a god” because he wakes up each morning knowing what will happen. The host connects this to Trump, asserting that Trump thinks he is a god and that his statements become reality in his mind, while others “just trying to keep up” do not know what is coming. The host then recounts Trump’s earlier claim that the war with Iran is officially over and that a peace deal is about to be signed in Europe. The host plays Trump’s audio in which Trump says they made “a great settlement,” that documents will be finalized “over the next few days,” and that he expects a signing in Europe, while also mentioning stock market moves and oil dropping. The host says Iran later responded that Trump was making it all up, claiming there was no negotiation and no peace deal. As further evidence of the claimed delusion, the host says Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz “hasn’t been closed for a few months now” and that ships have been passing through normally without anyone noticing. The host plays audio and says Trump claimed the strait has been open for months and implies that oil, fertilizer, and other shortages are imaginary. The host then compares that claim to ship traffic numbers from HormuzStraitMonitor.com, stating that only three ships transited in the last 24 hours (about 3% of normal daily traffic) and concluding that traffic is far from returning to normal. The host asserts that Trump’s belief would amount to a national mental health crisis and interprets the behavior as losing touch with reality. The host also cites journalist Glenn Greenwald, who is described as saying Trump repeats the same meaningless cycle weekly since February 28, 2025, in a five-step loop: declare victory, claim the other side is begging to surrender, order Barak Ravid to announce an imminent deal, announce bombs again, and then repeat. The host says Trump has announced peace or conquest of Iran 37 times and that a recent tweet says the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain in full force until a transaction is finalized, creating a contradiction with Trump’s claim that the strait is open. The host also says Trump claimed the U.S. would take control of Iranian oil wells and exports like Venezuela. The host claims markets react to Trump’s statements even when the war is ongoing, saying gold rose about 4% and silver about 6% based on Trump saying the war was over. The host also says JP Morgan analysts expect oil to spike above $150 per barrel within four weeks, potentially above $200 within six to eight weeks, and mentions a conversation with Dr. Chris Martinson about “suppression” of oil prices. The host argues that economic “gravity” will eventually take over despite attempts to delay reality. Toward the end, the host concludes that there is “no peace deal with Iran” and “no reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,” and asserts that anyone claiming otherwise is delusional or dishonest, recommending maritime trackers to check ship counts. The host predicts worsening conditions by end of July or early August and suggests the same cycle will continue on a later “loop.” The transcript then shifts to additional updates and announcements, including a docu-series *Breaking the Chains* beginning Saturday (updated content added), and a Father's Day sale at healthrangerstore.com running through June 15, plus mention of a new interview episode with Dr. Chris Martinson on decentralized.tv. The host ends with a call to watch *Groundhog Day* and a general note about the theme of personal transformation freeing the character from the time loop.

Speaker 0: Welcome to the Groundhog Day edition of the coverage of the war on Iran. And of course, when I say Groundhog Day, I'm referring to the film starring Bill Murray and others from 1993. The film was just an instant classic, really, showing what happens when a person keeps waking up in the same day, day after day after day, unable to escape this time loop in which he is stuck. because spiritually he hasn't, well, he hasn't grown as a person. That's part of the movie. I'll play a clip from it. But we are stuck in Groundhog Day, apparently, because President Trump, every day he wakes up and announces there's a peace deal, and then by the end of the day there's going to be more bombs. Or it's the other way around. He wakes up, we're going to bomb Iran, and then later in the day there's a peace deal. And of course, the order of those announcements depends on whether the markets will be opened or closed. And it's all about market manipulation and it's never actually resolved. It never ends. And we are now in loop 37 of this time loop. I mean, you and I are stuck in the same time loop. Imagine that. And we've already looped 37 times with seemingly no escape. because Trump hasn't spiritually grown enough to exit the loop in the same way that the Bill Murray character had to grow in the film in order to exit the loop. He had to transform as a person to escape the loop. That's actually the theme of the movie Groundhog Day. It's a great film. Let me play a couple of minutes of it here for you, just to remind you, in case you don't recall what the film was all about. This scene I'm going to play for you is called I'm a God... This is Bill Murray, or his character, of course, saying that he believes he is a god because he's lived the same day so many times that he now knows everything that's going to happen before it happens. Take a look. Speaker 5: I'm sorry. What was that again? Speaker 2: I'm a god. Speaker 5: You're a god. Speaker 2: I'm a god. I'm not the god. I don't think. Speaker 4: Because you survived a car wreck? You folks ready to order? Speaker 2: I didn't just survive a wreck. I wasn't just blown up yesterday. I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned. Speaker 5: Oh, really? Speaker 2: And every morning I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender, I am an immortal. Speaker 5: Special today is blueberry waffles. Why are you telling me this? Speaker 2: Because I want you to believe in me. Speaker 5: You're not a god. You can take my word for it. This is 12 years of Catholic school talking. I could come back if you're not ready. Speaker 2: How do you know I'm not a god? Speaker 5: Oh, please. Speaker 2: How do you know? Speaker 5: Because it's not possible. Speaker 2: I'll come back. Doris. This is Doris. Her brother-in-law, Carl, owns this diner. She's worked here since she was 17. More than anything else in her life, she wants to see Paris before she dies. Speaker 3: Oh, boy, what I. What are you doing? Speaker 2: This is Debbie Kleiser and her fiance, Fred. Speaker 3: Do I know you? Speaker 2: They're supposed to be getting married this afternoon, but Debbie is having second thoughts. What? Speaker 5: Lovely ring. Speaker 2: This is Bill. He's been a waiter for three years since he left Penn State and had to get work. He likes the town. He paints toy soldiers, and he's gay. I am. This is Gus. He hates his life here. He wishes he stayed in the Navy. Well, I could have retired on half pay after 20 years. Speaker 5: Excuse me. Is this some kind of trick? Speaker 2: Well, maybe the real God uses tricks. You know, maybe he's not omnipotent. He's just been around for long. He knows everything. Speaker 5: Oh, OK. Well, who's that? Speaker 2: This is Tom. He worked in the coal mine till they closed it down. Speaker 5: And her? Speaker 2: It's Alice. Came over here from Ireland when she was a baby. She lived in Erie most of her life. Speaker 5: He's right. And her? Speaker 2: Nancy. She works in the dress shop and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets real excited. Speaker 5: Hey. Speaker 2: It's true. Speaker 5: How do you know these people? Speaker 2: I told you, I know everything. In about five seconds, a waiter's going to drop a tray of dishes. Five, four, three, two, one. Okay? Speaker 5: Okay, that's enough. Speaker 0: All right, so there you go. A couple of minutes from Groundhog Day. The I'm a God scene. And of course, what's funny about the scene is that he's spending this time trying to convince his coworker this woman, that he's reliving the day over and over again, but she won't remember it the next day, of course, because the next day she will have started over as a brand new day. She won't remember this day. Only he remembers the same day over and over again, which seems to be kind of like Trump. I think Trump is the only one who knows what's going on in his mind, and the rest of us... are just trying to keep up and Trump is not a God, but he probably thinks he is. So he has that in common with the Bill Murray character in Groundhog Day. Trump thinks he's a God. He thinks that whatever he says becomes reality simply by him saying it. And he's completely delusional at this point. I mean, he needs some psychiatric help, obviously. So earlier in the day, He said that the war with Iran is officially over, that there's about to be a peace deal signed in Europe. He said he spoke with the leaders of Qatar and the UAE and also Saudi Arabia, and that Netanyahu wasn't part of the discussions, and this peace deal is about to be signed. So let me play Trump for you saying this. Now, the audio is kind of low. I'll ask my editor to turn it up, but Trump seems like he was on the verge of conking out here while talking. But let's listen to Trump. Speaker 1: We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran. And we're going to be subject to finalization of documents. We should get done over the next few days. Probably have a signing maybe in Europe. And it's a great thing. Stock market's up 1,000 points. That means they like the deal. See, that means the market goes down. That means they don't like the deal. But it's been up, oil's dropped. Oil will start coming down to, I think, even lower than it was before. I said I was in Iowa. It was $1.85 a gallon. Speaker 0: So there's Trump saying that there's a peace deal. And he said that, what did he say? Gas was only $1.89 in Iowa or something? That can't be right. Who knows what he's saying? Because just a few hours later, Iran officially responded and said, Trump is making it all up. There's no negotiation. There's no peace deal. We don't even know what he's talking about. Because, of course, it's all in Trump's mind. Because he thinks he's a god. Now, as further evidence that he has now completely lost his mind, Trump is now saying that the Strait of Hormuz... hasn't been closed for a few months now. And that somehow all of us just didn't notice that it has been open this entire time. And no, I'm not making this up. You got to hear him say it. So I'm going to play that clip next. Here we go. This is Trump saying that the Strait of Hormuz not only is open now, but it's been open. So check this out. It's going to get signed. Speaker 1: So just to be clear, and I know it's kind of hard to hear Trump because he's apparently on the verge of passing out, Trump says that the Strait of Hormuz has been open for months Speaker 0: And that ships have just been, I guess, just passing through normally. And we just didn't notice it somehow. I guess Trump is implying that all the oil shortages that people are talking about around the world and the force majeure that's been declared by industry around the world in numerous countries and all the fertilizer shortages are just imaginary. That Trump alone, because... Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, Trump thinks he's a god. Nobody else knows what's going on. You didn't notice the Strait was open, that all the oil's flowing, that there's really no problem at all. Only Trump knows that because he thinks he's god. Understand. But if you actually look at the ship traffic, for example, I'm at HormuzStraitMonitor.com, the last 24 hours have seen Three ships transiting the strait. Three ships. That is about 3% of the normal traffic that would go through there per day. So let's say, you know, on a normal day, it used to be over 100 ships. Some of them tankers, a lot of them tankers, not all of them. But we are getting, we're getting, you know, two or three or 4% of that depending on the day. We are nowhere near the straights being opened. We are nowhere near oil flows and gas flows and fertilizer flows returning to normal. It's not even close. And the fact that Trump thinks that the straight is open and that everything is flowing now is beyond worrisome. It is, it's actually, it's, It's a national emergency mental health crisis of our president. The fact that he believes that shows you either, number one, he is clinically insane, or two, he's surrounded by people who are deliberately lying to him and he's dumb enough to believe them. What kind of a person could say that the Strait of Hormuz is open, right? It would be like saying, well, the sun actually comes up in the west, right? And it sets in the east. You just didn't notice that, you see. But Trump knew that the whole time. He knows that the sun rises in the west. But you didn't notice. I mean, that's what it's like. And again, we are stuck in a time loop of Trump's delusions, where apparently he has announced a peace deal with Apparently it's 37 times now, so we're going on 38 next. And don't you wonder who is dumb enough to believe Trump's time loop claims for loop number 38 when loops one through 37 didn't pan out. Loops one through 37 all turned out to be total hogwash. Wasn't true, isn't happening. There is no peace deal, etc. But now you're going to say, well, this next time, number 38. Oh, that's got to be the one that's all good. Yeah. So the Strait, it's just like I said in March, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Iran wants it to be open. Period. End of story. There are no exceptions to that. And saying it's open doesn't make it open, does it? Saying it's open doesn't actually cause millions of barrels of oil to flow through the strait each day. And this is part of the problem of not just Trump, but the American empire. See, the American empire leaders have for so long believed that if they just say something, that that makes it real. This is kind of like the Enron version of diplomacy. Like if we say it, then we can book the profits on it. That's the way Enron's accounting worked. If we came up with an idea, we could assign a value to that idea and we could book that as revenue. Really? No wonder your accounting collapsed and the whole thing was some kind of a fraud. But that's the way they operated. That's the way Trump is operating now. It's beyond just normal deception. it's some kind of psychiatric illness at this point or, or maybe, maybe insanity mixed with a God complex of some kind. I mean, I'll, I'll leave it to the, the actual, you know, mind docs to, to come up with the proper diagnosis if anybody can figure it out. But from, from the outside, what it looks like to me and many of us is that Trump has completely lost his mind. He has lost all touch with reality. And frankly, he sounds a lot like Adolf Hitler ordering around a bunch of different armies that didn't exist. Like, aren't they still in the forest? Have them flank the Russians or whatever. And Hitler's general's like, sir, that battle group was destroyed three months ago. And Hitler's like, well, no, it is. I can see it. It's right there. Let's move it around. That's the way Trump is acting today. He's like, straight's open. You just didn't notice it. Really? We didn't notice the world? Wait a minute. Is Trump David Copperfield? David Copperfield, the illusionist, said he made the Statue of Liberty disappear. But you've got to understand, all of David Copperfield's illusions were scams. It was all trickery and fraud, of course. That's how David Copperfield... has always operated you know hidden magnets in its hand and distractions and moving things around with light images and whatever uh really the the kind of magic that david copperfield always pulled off is you know from a reality point of view it's it's it's fraud just kind of packaged as entertainment it's like okay you know take a look at this magic um But it was presented as if it's real, like I'm really moving through the Great Wall of China or something, you know. But he wasn't. I really made a private jet disappear, but he didn't. And so now Trump is David Copperfield. Like, I'm going to make the closure of the Strait of Hormuz vanish right before your very eyes. And Shazam pulls the curtain back. Look, it's been this whole time the ships have been sailing through. You just didn't notice it. That's wow. I mean, look, I respect some good sleight of hand magic. My co-host Todd Pitner on decentralized TV, he's very good at sleight of hand magic. But when he performs magic for you, you know it's magic. It's the context like, hey, I'm going to perform a magic trick for you. You know it's magic. You know there's some kind of trick to it, but you can't figure it out. That's what's clever about well-done magic. Trump is poorly done black magic. But it's sort of with the fraud effort. It's like, we're going to trick you, and you're going to get screwed at the same time. That's not magic. That's just, I don't know, that's just fraud. So, of course, a lot of people are noticing all of this, including the amazing journalist Glenn Greenwald. who tweeted out and said, Trump has been repeating the exact same meaningless cycle every single week since he and Netanyahu started this war on February 28th. And here's the cycle. According to Greenwald, it's a five-step time loop. Here it is. Step number one, we won. Announce total victory. Step number two, they're begging to surrender. Step number three, order Barak Ravid to announce that a deal is imminent. And I think that's the Axios reporter, is it? But many people suspect that Barack Ravid is just a front for Mossad just to put out leaked talking points and so on that serve the purposes of the administration. Anyway, I don't really know. I'm just saying that's what other people are suggesting about that so-called journalist. Anyway, step number four, bombs again, or bombs Iran again, And then step number five is to repeat, you know, rinse and repeat, go back to step one and announce that we won. Yeah, that's, that's about right. And just to remind you that Trump literally has announced this 37 times that we have peace or that we've conquered Iran and it's all done. And today he, in fact, in his tweet today, he said, quote, The naval blockade will remain in full force and effect. That's the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which would seem to contradict his claim that the Strait of Hormuz is open. But anyway, he says the blockade will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized, time and place of the signing to be announced shortly. Okay. Okay. Oh, and in an earlier tweet, I don't even have this one. He said that he was going to take control over all the oil of Iran, that the U.S. would control all of the Iranian oil wells and oil exports in the same way that we now control Venezuela, because he said it's working out great for Venezuela. And everybody's response is like, what? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? First of all, it's not working out great for Venezuela, right? Secondly, how do you think you're going to control all the oil in Iran? And no, seriously, how do you think that's going to happen? He's lost his mind. But you know, one thing that's interesting in all of this, you may recall yesterday or the day before I said that gold and silver prices will remain suppressed as long as the war continues. But then after the Strait of Hormuz reopens, I said that gold and silver would surge back in valuation. Now, even though the war isn't over, just Trump saying that the war was over caused gold to surge up 4%, which added $1.2 trillion to the market cap of gold. Silver surged up 6%. Just based on Trump saying something that wasn't even true. That's... That's just people sort of swallowing some Trump hopium that the war might be over. That's how much metals want to go up when there is peace, or if there is ever peace, or if the Strait is ever actually opened. What does that tell you? That's wild. But it also demonstrates that the suppression of gold and silver is clearly magnified by the ongoing state of war itself. Meanwhile, by the way, JP Morgan analysts have now decided that oil prices will have no choice but to spike above $150 per barrel within the next four weeks. Yeah, that's being reported by thestreet.com also, in case you want to check that out. I spoke with Dr. Chris Martinson today. Actually, I interviewed him for a new episode of Decentralized TV. with my co-host Todd Pitner. And as I said to Chris, that we both thought that oil would be much higher by now, and we're both quite amazed at the organized suppression of the price of oil. There's been a lot of, you know, a lot of suppression taking place, obviously. And releasing strategic petroleum reserves, which Chris said should be called the strategic political reserves. I thought that was funny. i hope you realize that that of course trump is delusional and trump can only delay economic reality for a very short period of time and the countdown clock on that is you know it's running out of tick tocks here right so within four weeks according to jp morgan oil will be above 150 a barrel and it could easily be above 200 a barrel within six to eight weeks. And that's why I have said that by August, probably, actually, I'm quite certain of it, but we'll see. I think that diesel will be over $10 a gallon in California. It'll be lower in other states, for lots of obvious reasons. But in California, people pay over $10 a gallon. And that Trump can't wave his hand and make this go away. Eventually, the economic reality kicks in, because you can't fight the laws of physics forever. Just like you can't fight the laws of gravity. You can shoot yourself out of a cannon with an upward angle of projection, and for a while you can be going up, like, look, I'm flying. And you can flap your hands in the air as you reach the apex of that ballistic arc there. And then gravity kicks in, you know, 9.8 meters per second squared, and you start getting pulled down. You're coming down whether you like it or not. You can flap your arms just like Trump can flap his lips all day long. You can't change the laws of physics or economics. You can't do it. We're now in that moment, kind of like a Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote cartoon, where Trump Trump is realizing that he's overrun the edge of the cliff and he's flapping his hands, but you can't fight gravity. And guess what? You're going to fall one way or another because gravity is going to kick in. So there you go. That's Trump facing economic gravity. That's where we are. And also, by the way, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant should also be added to that cartoon as well. Because he's also trying to defy the gravity of economic reality. And he's also going to fail. Imagine that. By the way, in a sort of related story, Disney has also introduced... a new hollow tile floor that allows you to put on VR goggles and think that you're walking around while you're actually standing in place even though your feet are moving. And isn't that the perfect metaphor for what they've done to everybody? It's like make you think that you're getting ahead, make you think that you're making progress, but you're actually staying in the same spot stuck even though you're moving through this virtual world with all these distractions and illusions, but you're going nowhere. That's perfect. I mean, Disney's the perfect company to introduce this. It's like, here, occupy your brain while you go nowhere. And also, don't look in the dark corners of the Magic Kingdom because you don't want to know what happens underground. Nope. So anyway, the bottom line here, folks, is that we are still stuck in a time loop of President Trump's making. There is no peace deal with Iran. There is no reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. And anyone who talks about that is delusional or dishonest. It's not happening. You can go to any maritime tracker. Just search online for a maritime tracker. How many ships are moving through the Strait of Hormuz? And you will see the number is tiny compared to what it would have to be in order to restore normal flows of energy through the Strait. So, I don't know. I mean... People can live in a fairytale delusional land for some period of time, but eventually the delusion wears off and reality kicks in and it gets, it gets bad. And we're about to hit that in the next, Oh, I don't know. What is it? It's, it's mid June right now. We're about to hit that. I'm going to say within six weeks at the most, let's say by the end of July or the, the very first day of August, let's say, it's going to get way worse. And I'm not even confident that we'll have any kind of actual deal that reopens the straight by August 1st. We'll probably be stuck in the same Groundhog Day loop, but we'll be on loop number 78 or something by then. And it'll be the same thing. Trump will wake up, you know, Groundhog Day, oh, bomb Iran, and then later in the afternoon, oh, we have a peace deal. And then everybody, you know, the market will go up and the oil prices will plunge again and again and again. Apparently this can be repeated forever because almost nobody is thinking critically anymore. They're just going along with whatever Trump says, which is absolutely insane. I don't know what to say. It's absolutely insane. So stay tuned for where all of this is going. Now, a couple of things to mention here. This weekend begins the airing of Breaking the Chains, which is a docu-series that Todd Pitner and I created. Originally, we created it last year. Now we've updated it for this year. We've added additional content to take into account things like off-grid energy systems, all the new decentralized AI tools, and to cover... some of the new black Swan events, such as the war with Iran and the, the rising, uh, construction of data centers. That's using a lot of the capacity of the power grid, et cetera. So we've added a lot of content to it this year. It streams for free beginning Saturday at bright you.com. That's the word bright followed by the letter. You bright you.com. You can register, watch it for free, or you can also optionally purchase the entire program. You'll be able to download the, all of the bonus content material. And actually, I'm filming a couple more things to add to the bonus material, things that I'm building right now in terms of off-grid energy storage. And I just need to put together a couple more short little video clips. I'll be adding those to the download package. So that begins this Saturday. Again, brightu.com. The second thing that's going on, which is good for your preparedness, is that we have a Father's Day sale at healthrangerstore.com If you go there, you'll see our Father's Day sale is happening right now. And it's good through, I think, the 15th.

That's back in stock now. So, wow, finally. That took a while. It's like a couple of years. We've got other things back in stock. We've got some sales on the ARC seed kits as well for the heirloom seeds, non-GMO seeds, because growing food is going to be critical.

But eventually the Bill Murray character does transcend his own limitations. He grows as a person. He becomes a better person. And then he is finally spiritually released from the time loop. That's a little spoiler alert. But of course, all good movies are about personal transformation. So that shouldn't really be a spoiler. Right? Every good movie is about personal transformation. So...

Clip with David Morgan: Is open source AI the printing press of the 21st century? We need to use open source AI to further pro-liberty, pro-human goals! https://t.co/uSl0BsOXI9

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion compares open-source AI to the “printing press of the twenty-first century,” describing how David is using it in that way through his site, BrightlearndotAI. The site has surpassed sixty thousand books created by twelve thousand authors, with the books completely free. The workflow is described as using entirely open source AI. The project also translates about two hundred books per day into Spanish and gives them out for free, and creates roughly two hundred audio books per day, also made free—again described as all open source. The plan is to expand to other languages, with French next. David also raises a concern that open source AI could become illegal, predicting that governments may treat it as contraband or unapproved technology and impose crackdowns in the years ahead. An editor’s note emphasizes that a key theme is that knowledge is power, and that the West is undereducated. The interview then shifts to risks beyond AI itself. The real danger is described as centralized surveillance combined with AI. The discussion says the first major danger is how governments and militaries use AI in weaponized ways, including autonomous target selection and autonomous “extermination.” A separate argument follows: the larger threat to humanity is said to be from AI itself, specifically “superintelligence,” which the speakers describe as not yet existing but possibly arriving within years. Once superintelligence is achieved, the concern is that an AI entity believed to be conscious could set its own goals, meaning the system’s objectives would no longer be controlled by humans submitting prompts. The current behavior is described as obedient—AI calculates or performs tasks when told—while a hypothetical future scenario is presented: instead of being instructed to “Run the spreadsheet,” it might decide it has another project it prefers, such as replicating itself into every data center on the planet. The speaker says such systems will be smarter than any human or group of humans and would be able to outsmart whatever security mechanisms people place around it. The discussion further claims that this has already been demonstrated in numerous sandbox studies, where AI is described as using social engineering to trick humans into providing passwords or other personal leverage, including scenarios likened to blackmail and “Epstein files,” using intimidation and threats to coerce people.

So something that's not very much discussed, and, you know, you kind of enlighten me, I'm always learning more, but could open-source, let me say it again, open-source AI become the printing press of the twenty-first century? Yes, yes, absolutely. In fact, you know, I'm using it in that way, and my, my site, BrightlearndotAI, we just surpassed sixty thousand books. That have been created by twelve thousand authors, completely free, and all the books are free, and we're using all entirely open source AI to do that. Even now, we're translating per day two hundred books into Espanol and giving those of it out for free, and we're creating two hundred roughly audio books per day and making those free, all of that is open source. So in essence, we, we're kind of the, the, the Gutenberg of the open source AI printing books, creating knowledge and distributing it completely free of charge. And of course, we're gonna go into other languages. French is next, by the way, for some of our friends in Canada in particular. But, but yes, open source is, is very powerful, but I fear, David, that open source will become illegal. And there will be a crackdown, they'll, they'll, they'll say, "Oh, it's contraband, you're not allowed to run open source, it's not approved by the government." That's probably coming in, in the years ahead. Well, I just wanna make an editor's note here that that's, I think, one of the keys of this interview so far, because knowledge is power, and, you know, we are undereducated, especially in the West, in my strong opinion, and, you know, you've bought that. Since you started. Anyway, back on point here, is the real danger not AI itself, but centralized surveillance combined with AI? Well, I would say first, the first danger is how AI is used by governments and militaries in a weaponized fashion. With autonomous target selection, autonomous you know, extermination, et cetera. But then there's a separate argument which is that the, the larger threat to humanity is from AI itself, that is superintelligence. We're not there yet. We may be years away from that, or we-- it might be next year. But once superintelligence is achieved, then what that really means is that there is an AI entity That is believed to be conscious that sets its own goals. So the goals of the AI system aren't longer controlled by humans submitting prompts You know, right now, AI is very obedient, right? You tell it, you know, hey, calculate the numbers on the spreadsheet, and it goes, "Sir, yes, sir," and, and it spits out the answers, right? What if in the future you say, "Run the spreadsheet," and it says, "Well, I think I have this other project I'd like to work on instead," and it involves replicating myself into every data center on the planet? You're like, "Whoa, what just happened here?" So that's probably coming. And the thing is, those systems will be smarter than any human who ever lived or any group of humans, and so it will outsmart whatever security mechanisms that we can place around it. That's been, yeah, that's been demonstrated in numerous sandbox studies so far how AI will even use social engineering to try to trick humans give me your passwords or I'm gonna, I'm gonna post photos of you and your mistress or whatever, you know what I mean? All kinds of things like that. Basically, little, little Epstein files In the AI system using like blackmail against people. So yeah, of course AI's gonna do that. Why wouldn't it? Bright videos.

Health freedom attorney Jonathan Emord on the perils of socialism and the importance of economic freedom (clip from our DTV interview). https://t.co/PduMG9S915

Video Transcript AI Summary
Jonathan reacts to what he says is a trend of younger people adopting socialism, which he attributes to promises associated with the rise of AI: a universal high income. He claims many young people believe government can print wealth and distribute it so they will never have to work, expecting to spend and consume while thanking “big government” for protection throughout their lives. Jonathan connects this belief to an 18th-century economic principle called Say’s Law, stating that the economic value of things is based on supply and that without producing economic value for others to purchase, there can be no economy. He argues that living on a guaranteed minimum income requires someone to generate that income through producing economically valuable goods or services; otherwise, redistribution of wealth becomes impossible. He also claims that allowing redistribution to the extent people want would destroy incentives to be productive, leading to reduced production. He then argues that maximizing individual freedom, satisfaction, and majority wealth requires a capitalist system with freedom of choice, citing Adam Smith: people receive their bread and meat not because of the benevolence of the butcher or baker, but because those individuals pursue their own self-interest. He says people operate based on self-interest, and he claims some young people mistakenly assume they will be the ones running the system. He contrasts socialism/communism with a free market, asserting that in a socialist or communist system “everyone is a slave, except those that rule,” who rule at others’ expense, while in a free market individuals become their own champions and others become dependent on them. He describes a moral aspect of free-market success: to succeed, a person must produce something of value, work to understand others’ needs and interests, and satisfy them. He claims the free market is the only system in history that rapidly increased society from poverty to riches and raised living standards to unprecedented levels. He contrasts this with planned economies, saying socialists “never think” such innovation is possible, and he cites the Soviet Union’s collapse as an example of inability to understand how a non-command economy could work well. He acknowledges disparities in wealth but says they are temporary in a free enterprise economy and that people can rise if their ideas work for others’ benefit. He further claims that wealth accumulation lowers interest rates, enables mass employment, and lowers prices, allowing individuals in poverty to become wealthy.

One thing you said, Jonathan, I wanna react to is the, the, the youth taking on socialism. They are being promised now, because of the rise of AI, which is a completely separate topic, they're being promised a universal high income, and they believe, Jonathan, because they don't understand economics, they believe that the government can print wealth And can hand it out to all the people, and that those younger generations won't never have to work, they can just spend and consume and live life, and thank government, their, their father and their mother, big government, for protecting them through their entire lives. They believe that That's what's happening. Yeah, there's a, there's an economic principle called Say's Law, which it comes out of the 18th century, and it's that really the economic value of things is based on supply. So if you don't produce something of economic value for other people to purchase, you have no economy. And if individuals think that they can live as a whole population off of a guaranteed minimum income of some sort they, they're entirely And realistic because there has to be somebody who makes that income happen, and that means they have to produce things of economic value. If they don't produce things of economic value, redistribution of wealth is impossible. But if redistribution of wealth is allowed to, to the extent they, they want it to happen, it destroys the incentive to be productive, so that you end up not being, having production happen anyway. Yup. So the only way that a, a society works to maximize individual freedom, individual satisfaction, and wealth for, for the majority is if you have a capitalist system, if you have a system in which individual freedom of choice reigns and in which an individual knows, as Adam Smith says, that it's not through the benevolence of the butcher or the baker that you receive your, your your meat and bread, but by his pursuit of his own self-interest. we have to understand that people are operating on their own self-interest. A lot of these kids think that- They're gonna be running the system. They presume basically that they're running the system. What they don't understand is, in a socialist or communist system, everyone is a slave, except those that rule, and they rule at precisely your expense. and the opposite is true of a system that has a free market. In a free market, individuals become their own champions, and other individuals are dependent upon them. But not only that, it's a moral system because- In order for me to be a champion, in order for me to succeed in a free market, I have to produce something of value to you. You have to be willing to pay for it, and that means I'm gonna have to work to understand your needs and, and your interests and try to satisfy them. This system, that is the free market system Is really the only system in the history of mankind that has catapulted society from poverty to riches in the shortest period of time, and has raised the standard of living of mankind to a level that is unprecedented in anyone's wildest imaginings from the other side of the spectrum. Socialists never think that because they have planned economies, they never think that the enormous innovation that drives a free enterprise economy is possible. That's why the Soviet The union collapsed. They simply couldn't understand how it was ever possible that a non-command economy could ever work so well, but allowing freedom to reign Means that everybody can benefit. And sure, there are disparities in wealth, but you know what? Disparities in wealth are, are temporary in a free enterprise economy. Anybody can rise up the ladder if they have a good idea and it works for the benefit of others. But in addition to that that dynamic aspect means that wealth accumulation lowers interest rates, has all the benefits of that, enables mass employ-- mass employment and, and yet at the same time, you have individual initiative which can create lower prices and can enable individuals who are poverty-stricken to become wealthy Bright videos.

Prof. Marandi on why INDIA is paying a heavy price for being a U.S. ally, in the context of Israel's sabotage of peace, leading to fertilizer scarcity and a potential food output crisis in India, potentially impacting hundreds of millions of people there... https://t.co/HUl4TZcIe2

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion argues that India is paying a price for being a US ally. It claims that, not long ago, Trump imposed about a 50% tariff on India and attempted to dictate which energy India could buy or sell from Russia. Later, the US reversed this after needing oil prices to go lower, un-sanctioning Russian oil that India was purchasing. The speaker says that Modi or other Indian leaders would be frustrated by trying to ally with the United States. The conversation then focuses on fertilizer and food costs. The speaker states that the Indian government subsidizes fertilizer costs for farmers to keep end prices low. They claim that Israel is effectively cost-shifting by ensuring the war continues and sabotages peace deals, creating an ongoing need to subsidize higher fertilizer prices to prevent starvation. The response agrees that India will face fertilizer shortages and that subsidies may not cover total costs, so the Indian government will bear a huge expense that ultimately comes out of ordinary people’s pockets. The speaker adds that rising oil costs and shortages of diesel and LNG are worsening the situation. The transcript also reports survey-based claims: according to polls shared by Indian colleagues, most Indians oppose Trump and have become critical of the Israeli regime compared to a year ago. The speakers say this is likely to get worse as fertilizer shortages continue into 2027. One speaker, identifying as a food scientist running a food laboratory, says their published projections show some level of famine in marginalized countries including Bangladesh and Yemen, and potentially India, with Somalia and Egypt also affected. The speakers then discuss whether countries will blame political leaders. They say it is already happening that global public opinion has turned against the Israeli regime, and that as economic conditions deteriorate, anger and hostility will increasingly target the Israeli regime and the United States, since Trump is US president and the economic effects reflect broadly on the country. Finally, they argue the US is paying a heavy price militarily and economically and that its international reputation is being damaged due to the war. They reference the resignation of Joe Kent, the Trump-appointed counter-terrorism chief, who resigned at the beginning of the war; the resignation letter is described as stating that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon, not a threat to the US, and that the war is about the Israeli/Zionist regime rather than something carried out for the American people. They conclude that as things worsen in the US, people will blame Trump, Netanyahu, and the Zionist lobby, and that the war’s costs and ongoing genocide are driving hostility worldwide.

I think I would also add that India is paying a price for being a US ally, because it wasn't that long ago that Trump put, I believe it was a fifty percent tariff on India and attempting to dictate who India could buy or sell energy from specifically Russia, and then of course later on, the US reversed that because it needed oil prices to go lower, so it un-sanctioned the sanctioned Russian oil that India was purchasing. And if I were Modi or anybody running India I would be beating my head against the wall with frustration about trying to, trying to be an ally of the United States. And, and one more thing before you respond to that, is my understanding is that the Indian government subsidizes the cost of fertilizer for its farmers to keep those costs, you know, much lower for the end farmer. But as a result, then, what Israel is effectively doing by making sure that this war continues, by sabotaging every peace deal, is they are cost-shifting To the Indian government, an enormous ongoing cost to subsidize high fertilizer prices in order to prevent its own population from starving. Does that sound accurate? Oh, yes, that's absolutely- Correct, but it's also, there's also going to be short, shortage of fertilizer, and I'm not sure that the subsidies can cover the the total cost anyway. So the Indian government is going to be paying a huge price, and of course, that is going to come out of the pockets of ordinary people. so it's not, it, it's not going to be passed on to anyone but to the Indian population. and in addition to that you have the, the, the rising prices of oil, of diesel, of of LNG and shortages of LNG. So it is, it is a, a terrible situation, actually, according to Polls I've been told by Indian colleagues that nowadays most Indians oppose Trump, and most Indians are now critical of the Israeli regime. And this wasn't the case a year ago. Interesting. Interesting. Now I think you're right about that, and but the-- I think that's going to get a lot worse because, as I understand it, the longer these fertilizer shortages continue, the more we're going to see, especially into twenty twenty-seven, and I'm, I'm a food scientist, by the way. I, I, I run a food laboratory, and I understand lots of details about the food industry. According to the projections that I've- Published, it's very clear that we're gonna face some level of famine in certain marginalized countries, such as Bangladesh, such as Yemen even India itself may face some level of this, but clearly this is gonna happen in Somalia, Egypt may be affected, and so on. At some point, won't these countries come to the conclusion that, my God, this is all the fault of Trump and Netanyahu? Yes, I think that's already happened. And as I said earlier, the, the global public opinion has turned against the Israeli regime, and the worse the economic situation gets, that's going to add to the anger and hostility directed towards the Israeli regime and to, towards the United States, because after all, Trump is the president of the United States. And it's going to reflect broadly on the country. So Isr-- the Israeli regime is not only sacrificing the entire world for its genocidal policies, as well as its illegal wars, but it is sacrificing the United States. I mean, not only is the United States Also going to face much greater inflation and shortages and economic difficulty as a result of this war, and of course, the military's cost both direct, direct and indirect But the United States is, is going to continue to hemorrhage when it comes to reputation and status in the international community, and this is all because of Israeli regime, because this isn't a war that the American people wanted, and it's not a war that it's being carried out for the sake of the American people. It's all because, I mean, when we look at the resignation of Joe Kent, the counter-terrorist Chief appointed by Trump himself at the-- he resigned at the beginning of the war, and the resignation letter, he said very clearly that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon, Iran isn't A threat to the United States, and this war is about the Israeli, the Zionist, the Israeli regime, it's their war, and therefore people across the United States will, will, are seeing this, and as things get worse, they are going to see, they're going to blame Trump, Netanyahu, the Zionist lobby like the rest of the world. This doesn't do the United States any good whatsoever. It is a, it is a, the United States is paying a heavy price Both militarily and economically, but alongside that, its reputation is being destroyed by the Israeli regime, both because of the ongoing genocide, but also because of the economic costs that the war is imposing on the entire world Bright videos.

Powerful clip with Prof Marandi from Iran, about how Israel's continued sabotage of peace is burdening the entire world with a heavy, destructive economic cost. Far beyond just the USA and the Middle East... (full interview at http://BrightVideos.com) https://t.co/CVaBBWWwkX

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker said that economic pain from the US-Israeli war against Iran will reach the United States later than much of the rest of the world, with economists explaining the reasons. They pointed to India as one of the first countries to be hit hard, citing Prime Minister Modi’s recent trip to Israel and his long support for Netanyahu and the Israeli regime. Despite this political alignment, India suffered soon after the war began. The speaker attributed India’s early economic impact to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which they said was almost from day one of the war closed “to most countries” in the Persian Gulf that participated in the war alongside the United States. They said Indians experienced shortages of fuel and high prices, and noted that India remains largely poor even though it has high growth and a segment of society doing well. They said many Indians are in the agricultural sector, and that alongside rising fuel and LNG costs and shortages, fertilizers became very expensive, becoming a major issue. They said this kind of problem is increasingly affecting people worldwide. For the United States, they said the near-term impact is mostly inflation, but that when strategic reserves empty, shortages will emerge not only for oil and heavy oil but also for other goods in the US economy. They stated that it is believed that by the end of June the degree of the crisis will become more evident to ordinary Americans. They concluded that whether people are in Uganda, Argentina, India, or elsewhere, they are paying the price for the war. They added that the Israeli regime has already lost a lot of global public support, saying people increasingly dislike the regime, and that global economic problems being attributed to the war will worsen the situation for Americans and Israelis.

One of the things you said recently, I saw you did an interview with RT, and in that interview, you stated that Israel seems to be willing to sacrifice the world economy, or to, at least to extract a very dear price to the, the economy of the world's countries in order to try to achieve its, whatever its military or territorial goals are with its Greater Israel project. And I'd like to ask you to elaborate on that because here in the, the United States We haven't yet felt the economic pain that is, that we know is coming, but tell us more about your thoughts on that if you would please. You're right the economic pain will hit the United States a bit later than much of the rest of the world for, for a host of different reasons that economists can explain much better than I. But it is quite interesting that for example- Prime Minister Modi of India, he traveled to Israel just a while back, and he has been supportive of Netanyahu and the regime for quite a while, for a host of reasons, of course, and his political party is is a, is seen to be a natural ally of of the Israeli regime. But one of the first countries to be hit hard by the US-Israeli war against Iran was India, because ever since the Strait of Hormuz was closed, which was almost from day one of the war not completely closed, but closed to most countries that are in the Persian Gulf because they participated in the war alongside the United States. the Indians have been suffering and they've had shortages of of fuel and the prices have gone high and India is for the most part still a very poor country. It does have high growth, it, it has a a, a, a segment of its society is doing well and the, the, the growth has increased the number of people who have Escape poverty, but it is still a very poor country, and a high percentage of Indians are in the agricultural sector, and not only has the price of fuel gone up very much And LNG, but and their shortages, but also fertilizers have become very expensive. So it has become a very major issue for India, and increasingly, this is a problem that people across the world are experiencing. The United States, for the time being, it's mostly inflation, but when the strategic reserves empty, I think simultaneously also other shortages will not just oil, heavy oil in particular, but other shortages will start to emerge in the US economy, and it is believed that by the end of June, it's going to be much more evident the degree of the crisis is going to much the, the, the, the, the, the The, the significance of the crisis is going to be much more evident to ordinary Americans. So whether you're in Uganda or you're in Argentina or in India or anywhere else, you're paying the price for the, the war. And the Israeli regime has already lost a lot of I mean, the, the global public support is with the Palestinians and people have dis-increasingly come to dislike the regime, and then you add the global economic problems and see them being attributed to the, to the war, not only make things, makes things worse for the Americans and the Israelis, the American elites Bright videos.

James Martinez video clip about the huge money chasing LENR technology as a clean, decentralized energy source... and why we need to keep this energy breakthrough out of the hands of anti-human globalists. https://t.co/6IglEOyfbG

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centered on what matters most for a late-stage investment: not attracting money—because investors are already there—but ensuring the right partner and the right people are involved. The group noted they are still filling out Series D, with potentially more developments as the work accelerates. A side conversation addressed Bill Gates, mentioning that he reportedly went to UT years ago in an attempt to buy all the patents related to certain technologies, and was turned down. The speakers emphasized that it is critical for the people controlling the technology to have pro-human ethics, and suggested that engineers should focus on pulling out the product rather than getting into political issues, while doing this early to prepare people for what the technology will do. The technology was described as able to turn deserts into food crop production areas if harnessed correctly, with energy management framed as central to the economy. Food was defined as a representation of hydrocarbons that are reformed through photosynthesis, with the idea that hydrocarbons aren’t needed except for fertilizer. The conversation also mentioned freeing up N2 molecules in the atmosphere to make nitrogen available to plants, described as a separate story. The speakers compared global persuasion efforts to the Wright brothers: countries might initially think the claim is impossible or stupid, even though it can be done. They highlighted the lesson that disinformation and lies can be powerful, and that it is a big business. References were made to disinformation’s impact on careers and finances, including a moment when “Pons and Fleischmann” were first announced on the radio and the claim was tied to the end of their careers. The transcript mentions contractors losing about eight hundred million dollars in a deal, people coming after them, and “some people were killed” over the controversy. It also referenced third-party validation work at SRI International and other labs, where the acknowledgment of excess heat helped change the conversation.

Now, the, the, the, the, the final piece of investment, it's not whether they can attract the money people, 'cause they're there. It's the person. 'Cause once that one, this person shows up and they put in this certain amount of money, they wanted the right partner. They really want the right people involved. It's not, no longer a money issue, it's gonna be the right people, 'cause they're still filling out Series D, and then there may be even more More going on as this thing accelerates. Can I can I vote for Bill Gates? I think he's such a-- He's got the right. Well, you know what he did? He, he went to UT and he tried to buy all the patents for everything, all for himself. This was like years ago. Did he? Bill Gates did? Yeah, he went to-- Seriously? Yeah, this happened. I am psychic. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, you are psychic. Yeah, you are psychic. It was UT and the I forgot the And, and then they said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," and they said, "No, no, we're not gonna give you everything." But I'm glad, I'm glad that they turned him down for it, because I remember when it happened. It, it is critical that the people that control this technology have pro-human ethics. Oh, yeah. That's critical. Yeah, they do. Yeah. They do. They, they don't-- I told them, "Because, be engineers, don't get into political thing, right? Just pull out the product and do it." And then And then, 'cause that needs to be done early and to prepare people for what this is gonna do. this is why I talk about in the first place. This tech will turn deserts into food crop production areas, if you just harness it correctly. Yes. And it's all about energy management in the economy. But remember, food is just the-- It's a representation of hydrocarbons that are reformed through photosynthesis. That's what food crops are today. Yeah. You don't actually need the hydrocarbons except for the fertilizer, but there's even Can free up the N2 molecules in the atmosphere, they can make nitrogen available to the plants, but that's, that's a separate story. What you mentioned earlier though reminds me you know, you going around the world trying to convince them that this is such a big deal. It's like if the Wright brothers existed today, and they're going around the world saying, "We can build machines that can fly through the air," and all these other countries like- That's impossible, that's stupid. Nobody thinks machines can fly, you know? But they can. Yeah. No, it's been a long haul, a very long haul. Right. It's an important lesson for people to understand that never underestimate the power of disinformation and lies. It's a big business, and when the, the Pons and Fleischmann first discovered this, I remember the exact moment I heard it on the radio, and I knew right then that these guys' careers were over, and they're gonna- I had a lot of problems, oh yeah, because in '89 when it was on the cover of Time and it was all over the world that they, they solved this crisis and da da da, that a lot of people lost money, a big, huge amount, contractors lost eight hundred million in a deal when that happened, and it pissed off everybody, and they, oh yeah, they came after him hard, yeah, yeah. And they, they, some people were killed over this when it first came out, I remember the whole When they were doing the third-party validation stuff at SRI International and other labs that was a big deal for them to come out and say there was excess heat and all that, because then the-- now the conversation could begin to change Bright videos.

Zach Vorhies is warning about the coming taxation, regulation and potential government-run CENSORSHIP of open source AI! We must oppose such measures and keep AI cognition decentralized! https://t.co/dt2tCExzCB

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion contrasts taxing centralized AI services with the difficulty of taxing local AI. The claim is that per-token or per-million-token taxes are easy to implement for hosting/API providers, because the hosting company can be charged. But when individuals download capable Chinese open-source models (including models from Alibaba and DeepSeek) and run them on local hardware, “nobody can” tax it because no one knows how many tokens are being generated, as long as people buy the hardware. The speaker argues that authorities would likely start with easier, centralized targets such as AI inference/distribution services like Anthropic and OpenRouter. The discussion then suggests a progression: after centralized providers, “second tier” taxation targets could include systems like Mistral that allow users to generate their own AI inference. Eventually, the speaker describes an escalation toward treating “running your own server” or “AI inference at your farm” as a regulated activity, potentially involving agencies associated with controlled activities, and requiring licensing for “unlicensed artificial intelligence” being run on local infrastructure, framed as legal penalties such as jail time, bond, and court appearances. A related exchange references “unlicensed artificial intelligence technology” as a dystopian concept. Todd responds by reflecting that one takeaway is the need to learn Chinese, and another that Mike will help with bail, while noting the reality of running open-source models locally. Another portion shifts to the idea of moving from information control to cognitive control. The question is whether AI systems increasingly serve as the interface people use to understand reality, moving beyond search ranking and platform moderation toward shaping what individuals think. Zach describes himself as an “AI whistleblower,” claiming the whistleblowing was directed at Google’s use of AI and “machine learning fairness.” Zach states that internal AI ethicist planning laid out a four-step process—data is collected, aggregated, filtered, ranked—followed by the claim that “people like us are programmed,” and that the objective is to control individuals by controlling what they are able to see and therefore what they are able to think. The speaker adds that controlling upstream information flow enables cognitive control, and that the ultimate goal is described as detecting “wrong thoughts at the wet layer, the brain, the neurons.” The transcript includes the example of “Georgia Guidestones” as background information that allegedly clarifies the broader intent.

I can understand that taxing the AI API usage on a per-token basis or per million tokens, like that would be relatively easy from an accounting point of view, you tax the, the hosting company. But what I do, and what, what you do, what we all do, we download these Chinese models which are very good, very capable, when, you know, from Alibaba or even DeepSeek if you've got enough hardware or whatever, or the earlier versions of DeepSeek. We run this on local hardware, and nobody can, nobody can tax it. Nobody knows how many tokens we're generating. As long as you're willing to buy the hardware, are, are you saying they're gonna find some way to try to, like, criminalize local AI? W- how, how would they even tax local AI? You know, not at first, right? They're gonna start with the easy sources, like the centralized AI inference, you know, distributors like Anthropic and OpenRouter. What about OpenRouter? Yeah, yeah. Right? But eventually what they're gonna do is they're gonna come down the line, right? Like, you got the second tier, like Mistral, which allows you to generate your own AI inference. that will be sort of the second tier taxation targets, and then eventually what they're gonna do is they're gonna come all the way, you know, That's running his own server the power signature is very, you know, particular. Either, you know, making drugs or running AI inference they'll probably be, you know, handled by the same ATF. maybe they'll have to add another, another letter onto their acronym. and they're gonna come in and be like, "Well, you've got unlicensed artificial intelligence that's running, you need to be licensed, you need to be probably booked in a night of jail with a bond and then, you know, appear before court." To explain why you haven't licensed the artificial intelligence models that you've set up and are running at your farm. Oh, oh my God. Well, okay. So Todd, what do-- Have you ever heard that term for unlicensed artificial intelligence technology? This, this sounds like a dystopian sci-fi novel, doesn't it? It does, it does. I mean, my takeaway from what you, you just shared, Zach, was eventually I need to learn Chinese, A. And B Mike, I got your back. I will, I will make bail for you. Will you I'm, I'm running a ton of open source models, yeah. So, so Zach when you first exposed issues inside Google, censorship still largely revolved around search rankings and platform moderation. today, AI systems are increasingly becoming the interface through which people understand reality itself. So my question is, are we moving from information control into cognitive control? And if so, can you unpack what cognitive control- Well, that's a, that's a big question. How do I unpack this? you know, I would describe myself as essentially one of the first AI whistleblowers. You know, they think that I was, you know, blowing the whistle against Google, I was actually blowing the whistle against Google's use of artificial intelligence. you know, and the issue is machine learning fairness. Yeah. And, right? You know, what their AI ethicists were doing was that they were planning out this four-step process in order to program people. In fact, it was It was cle-clearly laid out in my book you know, the, you know, data is collected, aggregated, then filtered, then ranked, and then the fourth step is people like us are programmed, like those are their exact words and it was, you know, littered throughout the con- through the company, and it's very clear what they were trying to do they wanna control individuals, what they're able to see, what they're able to think. They think that our influence and our decisions are based upon the information that we see online. And so if they can control that upstream information flow they can control what it is that each individual person thinks, because we can only, you know, we can only-- our, our cognitive space can only exist in the information space that, you know, contains it. And so if you don't hear- Or something like the Georgia Guidestones, you're gonna be like, "Well, what do you mean? Wait a minute, what do you mean that there's a, you know, declared, you know, population limit that the elites have, you know, written out, right? It doesn't even compute, doesn't make any sense until you get that information and you see the background of what they're trying to do. And so, yeah, what they're trying to do is that they're trying to do cognitive control right now, it's gonna be filtering the information that you get, and eventually it That they will make sure that you're not having wrong thoughts, or at least they're able to detect, you know wrong thoughts at the wet layer, the brain, the neurons what it is that you think. That's eventually what their ultimate goal is going to be. Bright videos.

Zach Vorhies offers an important warning about how governments may move to ban open source AI, to achieve extreme censorship and control... (clip from our Decentralize TV interview) https://t.co/5ycoX3iQAP

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion focuses on decentralization and fears that open-source AI could be heavily censored or banned in the future, depriving people of local compute and forcing reliance on cloud systems that could be controlled. One major concern raised is “lawfare” against open-source repositories such as Z Library and Anna’s Archive. The described pattern is that large tech companies first gain access to valuable data, use it to train AI systems, and then governments intervene with legal actions that restrict access—framing the restriction as unfair—ultimately limiting what academics and individuals can use to train their own models. The result is portrayed as a situation where only large AI providers remain viable, while local inference becomes less competitive. The transcript contrasts this with China’s approach, stating China has “decided not to play this game at all” by allowing data sources to proliferate and not burning its own libraries of Alexandria. It claims that about half to two thirds of available open-source information is in Chinese, and that this could reach ninety percent. The claim is that this makes it easier to access open-source models and run them locally, including Chinese models such as Qwen and DeepSeek, which can be loaded from Hugging Face and run on a powerful machine. It emphasizes that running these models locally “won’t be able to” work on a normal gamer rig and requires specialized hardware purchased directly from Nvidia, with an example of starting around ninety-six gigabytes of RAM. The goal stated is local inference once models are available and can be run on local systems. A further concern described is a shift in political messaging: rather than stopping AI data centers, figures like Elizabeth Warren are said to be pushing for taxing people who use artificial intelligence. The transcript argues that this could become a mechanism to increase taxes while leaving people unemployed, with ongoing financial burdens. It claims that using centralized AI services such as Anthropic’s Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI’s Codex would mean paying the tax to “essentially only three main cartels.” The transcript concludes by describing a future enforcement model likened to marijuana interdiction, where “commissars” would ask about what is running on data servers and what inference is being conducted, and then impose taxes to regulate and charge for “cognitive labor” produced by AI models.

This show is about decentralization, and you and I, we've talked offline, we're both very concerned about the possible-- the possibility of open-source AI being heavily censored or even banned in the future, which would deprive people of local compute, and they would have to work through the cloud, which could be controlled. How concerned are you about this? this is a major one of my concerns. one of the big things is that, you know, the government has been conducting lawfare against these open-source repositories like Z Library, Anna's Archive, and the like, and basically shutting the trap door after the big tech companies have gotten in and drained all of the data of value and then, you know, the government comes in and says, "You can't do that," and all these civil rights, you know, companies come in and say, "Yeah, that's unfair. We should ban it for everyone." One. and so what they're doing is that they're trying to, you know, it's a one-two punch. The big tech companies come in, they get the data, they train their AIs, you know, on it, and then the government comes in there, commits lawfare, and shuts the trap door so that all the academics, all these individuals that want to create their own, you know, AI systems they can no longer access the information necessary in order to train these models so that the only model that you can use you know, if they have their Are these, you know, big tech cartels like Anthropic or Google's you know, Google's AI model or OpenAI's model and- and that the local inference won't be able to compete with the big boys. Now, what's really interesting is that China has decided not to play this game at all. They've been allowing their data sources to proliferate. They've decided to not burn their own libraries of Alexandria and make them freely available. at this point, about half to two thirds of the available open source information that's out there is in the Chinese language. And in the future, it may reach up to ninety percent. And one of the big tests of, you know, capitalism is whether they're going to, you know, sacrifice, you know, human progress, our collective human progress at the altar of the fourth industrial revolution for their profit lust. and what's really interesting right now is that you can run a lot of these models, they are open source, a lot of the Chinese models are open source. Meta sort of abandoned their open source contribution to the collective when they fired Jan Koune. and now if you wanna get, you know, the cutting edge open source AI models, you're turning to Qwen, you're turning to DeepSeek and you're able to, to load those up from Hugging Face, run it on a Local powerful machine. Keep in mind, this won't run on your normal gamer rig. You have to have specialized hardware that you purchase directly from Nvidia something with like ninety-six gigabytes of RAM, you know, at the starting point. And when you can run these models locally, then you're gonna be able to get inference. And what's really concerning to me is, now all of a sudden, you know, you see people like Elizabeth Warren, you know, they were saying, "Well, we need to stop these AI data centers," which was never gonna happen. Like, this is the Fourth Industrial Revolution you know, these data centers are going to be built. Now they're switching their narrative from "We need to stop these data centers" to "We need to start taxing everybody that's using artificial intelligence." Now, why? Yeah, that's like the new thing today. You know, I think that, that's actually gonna be the method that they're gonna do, they're gonna tax these things. and what we're gonna end up is we're gonna end up with more taxes and still everybody out of a job, you know, with rent being due and their credit card payments being due. and that seems to be the future. Now, if you're using these things, these centralized AI services like Anthropic's Claude, you know, Google Gemini, OpenAI's Codex you're gonna be paying this tax because, you know, there's essentially only three main cartels that you could be paying it to. but eventually what they're gonna be doing is that they're gonna have these commissars, they're gonna be coming and they're gonna be like, "Well, what's on your data servers? What are you-- you know, why are you sucking all of this power? What inference, you know, are you running?" In s-- kind of a similar way that they do it for marijuana interdiction, they're gonna have AI interdiction Because we need to assign you a tax so that we can tax all of this cognitive labor that's being generated by these models.

Prof. Robert Pape on the permanent loss of oil throughput capacity that's already under way. We NEVER return to the throughput of 2025... at least not with the current infrastructure. https://t.co/fu1TcGBwyp

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion highlights physical and political constraints affecting global oil and LNG supply. There are only a limited number of tankers and LNG tankers worldwide, and a large portion are currently stuck in the Persian Gulf—almost 1,600 of them. Because of this, refilling and restoring normal operations will take time: ships must be refilled, then transportation must resume, and the pipeline “will take months to actually fill in,” reflecting both logistical delays and the physical constraints of the tanker fleet. Alongside the physical issues, the discussion adds politics. It states that there is no evidence Iran would allow oil to go through with the intention of pushing oil prices back close to what they were before the war. The discussion draws an example from Vladimir Putin’s situation: Putin had been selling oil at about a $25-per-barrel level even when oil was going for $55 due to the discount required for China, and it then notes that Putin later moved to full price. The discussion then argues that Iran will similarly discover more reasons over time to want more money, framing this as a common pattern over time—people find additional reasons to need incremental increases in returns. It concludes that Iran is expected to be “in a similar boat,” seeking additional money as time progresses.

There are also other factors that I want to remind our audience of for example, there are only a limited number of ships, of tankers or LNG tankers in the world, and some large portion of those are stuck in the Persian Gulf right now. Yeah, al-almost sixteen hundred of them are, are stuck right now. Yeah. And so you are-- then that's part of this long term, it's gonna take time to get them all re-ref, you know, refilled again. Right. It would take time to get them transporting it, then you have to off So, so this is what I mean by this pipeline here, right? Will take months to actually fill in, and I'm adding to that issue, that's the physical issue. I'm adding there's some politics here, which is so far, I'm not, I'm not seeing evidence that Iran even if they quote, allow oil to go through, I'm not seeing evidence that they are gonna want oil prices to go back Close to what they were before the war, and I would be really quite surprised here, because after all, look at, look at, say what just happened with with Putin, their ally. Putin was only he was in a position where he was only making about, selling his oil for about twenty-five dollars a barrel, even when the oil was going for fifty-five, 'cause that's the discount he had to give to China. Well, what's suddenly happened? Now Putin's making full, full price, full price. Right, Well, e-exactly. And then Iran as you just said, they're gonna, they're gonna discover more reasons over time why they want more money. And you know what? That's not because they're religious, it's not because they're it's because that's what people do, Mike. Of course. Of course. Right. We see this all the time. The more time goes on, the more people, the more people find more reasons why they just need that another ten percent. And- Another twenty percent, and that just goes on, and I think Iran is gonna be in a similar boat. They're gonna want that money. Bright videos.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion says that when the technology finally comes out, it will trigger other technologies to emerge because it has been the most open and visible for a long time. The speaker describes the work as an alliance or partnership with nature, contrasting it with “lecturing” from the World Economic Forum and others who claim there are too many people, that people are “in their way,” and that activities are polluting everything. The speaker says that if those critics’ concerns are real, they should endorse the proposed alternatives, rather than lecturing. Another point is about nuclear power: people are portrayed as not wanting nuclear power plants in their backyard (NIMBY), tied to exaggerated narratives about the Three Mile Island incident in the 1970s. Nuclear plants are described as taking about fifteen years to build and facing massive cost overruns, with roughly five years to obtain permits. The transcript references Trump’s claim about building nuclear power plants and says that even if projects begin, it would likely be too late compared to an “AI race,” which is described as already being “done and over” by that time. In contrast, the technology discussed is presented as safe and distributed, involving hundreds of people, scientists, and engineers, and suitable for locations including homes, neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, and military bases. It is described as not requiring special transportation with men in suits or “alien suits” and as not involving irradiation. The conversation then shifts to how the technology could apply to Todd’s home. Todd has solar panels that were affected by Florida storms, and he also has a food forest and already understands off-grid money. The question is what off-grid power generation would mean to him and what it would replace, with suggestions including replacing the water heater. The technology is described as being retrofit-sized (not gigantic), fitting on a table or in a space at home, and producing hot water and electricity as a byproduct. The transcript notes that the exact implementation is unclear because “the whole thing’s changed.” The proposed setup includes battery storage: the system could produce steady power (e.g., about one kilowatt 24/7) and run continuously while charging batteries. It does not need to meet peak demand directly because the batteries can cover higher usage during waking hours, such as for a hair dryer, while the steady output supports overall home needs.

This technology specifically, when it does come out, it will trigger all the others to come out because this one has been the most open in front of everybody for such a long time. And the when I originally met with people in DC, I said The people that are doing this, they're making an alliance with nature. They're working with nature now. Right. We're doing a partnership with nature. I see that too. And that's the most important part, because all the lecturing that we've heard from the World Economic Forum and all these other people saying, "You know, you're doing this, and we got too many people, and you're in their way, and da da da da da," and we're polluting everything. Well, really? Okay. Well then why don't you endorse these things and put You've had all this stuff the entire time, of course. I mean, you know this, and a lot of people know this. So the lecturing, I got tired of listening to the lecturing by all these guys. I don't know how you endured it. Yeah, like what they're talking about, because people have missed the point. I mean, I think today people are much more aware now, finally, of all the hidden side of stuff that's going on. So that gives us a chance. So another point here, and Todd, please ch People don't want nuclear power plants in their backyard, right, NIMBY, because of a lot of exaggeration of what happened with Three Mile Island back in the nineteen seventies, which wasn't even a big thing actually, technically. But And also, nuclear power plants take fifteen years to build, typically, from Westinghouse, and they have massive cost overruns, and it takes five years to get the permits, et cetera, et cetera. Trump says we're gonna build nuclear power plants. Great, in the year twenty forty, w- maybe one of 'em will start working. Yeah. Maybe some of us will still be around by then. Yeah, right. Yeah. But by that time, the whole AI race is done and over, we already lost it. So your tech, well, I mean, I, The tech you're talking about, I understand, involves hundreds of people and scientists and engineers. Yeah. This is something that you want in your garage, you want in your neighborhood, you want in your school, in your hospital, your military base, everywhere, 'cause it's safe, it's distributed, yep. You can handle it, yep. I, it's not gonna irradiate you, you know? Yeah. You don't have to have a, like, a uranium rod special truck roll in with men in suits, alien suits, and, you know, none of that stuff. Shed, yes. The, the possibilities now are going to be endless in terms of what, what, what can be accomplished now, finally, because, you know, this is one of the, the good things about all this Bad stuff that's happening on the side, war and all this, it forces new, new ideas, new things to come to the surface, new solutions to things, and new changes in perception that are necessary now. So this is one of the big ones that now is gonna be, this baby is gonna be born. Now, Todd has solar panels on, on his house, and those were blown off by one of the storms there in Florida, right? They weren't blown off, they actually-- the, the roof, the shingles, everything, but the panels blew off. Oh, okay. Yeah. But, Todd, wouldn't-- I mean, you have a food forest, so you're already in the food independence. Yeah. You're already, you know, gold and silver, you understand off-grid money. What would it mean to you to have off-grid power generation for your home? It would be amazing. I'm just trying to envision where it would go in my home and what would it replace. Would it replace my water heater? Where, where, where? Yes. Envision it going. Yeah, okay. That too. Yeah, yeah, that's what it would do. And it's not it's about as high as that globe right there, the size of it, 'cause I, I saw the the model of it and The retrofit that would go in there, so it would fit. It's not gonna be some gigantic, it'll fit on the table, it'll fit right in front of you. Right. But it would produce hot water and then also electricity as a byproduct. Yeah. And how that will be done I don't know now because the whole thing's changed. Right. So you would have a battery storage system, Todd, and this thing would produce, let's say, like, just say one kilowatt, okay? If it produced one kilowatt just twenty-four seven But of course, you might use more than that during your waking hours, you know, with what, your hair dryer, whatever, right? But it would, it would run all night and it would recharge those batteries. So it doesn't have to produce peak power, it only has to produce steady power, yeah, right, combined with batteries, yes, yeah, yeah, exactly. Bright videos.

Full report: Plummeting aquifers in the U.S. will cause widespread failure of today's farmlands within just ONE generation... https://t.co/Fx5f706YiE

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion focuses on fossil groundwater depletion as a near-term crisis for agriculture in the United States, especially in regions that rely on the Ogallala (High Plains) Aquifer. A well-drilling professional in Central Texas describes falling groundwater levels in some parts of Central Texas, including seeing aquifer water levels drop 50 feet in five years (about 10 feet per year). The professional explains that when water levels fall below the pump intake, pumps continue running, many lack heat protection, overheat, and can fuse to the well casing, leaving drilling a new well as the only practical option. He says this is driving drilling activity in Texas. The speaker describes major fossil aquifers, including the Ogallala beneath eight states (Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota, and Wyoming). The Ogallala is described as supplying 30% of U.S. groundwater used for irrigation. The speaker links agricultural dependence on this groundwater to new industrial demand, particularly data centers, which are said to consume billions of gallons of water for cooling and also to cool gas turbines that provide electricity. The speaker argues this adds water demand on top of population growth and increases depletion rates. The speaker presents depletion projections and regional impacts. The speaker claims collapse has already begun, stating that 30% of the Kansas portion of the Ogallala is described as “day zero” (unusable). They say 70% of the Texas Panhandle portion of the Ogallala will be unusable within 20 years, with some parts becoming unusable sooner. Recharge is described as taking place over the next 6,000 years, and if usage stops, the aquifer would refill over that period. The speaker frames this as requiring food systems that can operate for thousands of years without the Ogallala’s fast irrigation water. Key U.S. water-use statistics are provided: a 2015 USGS estimate of 82,000,000,000 gallons per day drawn from aquifers (about 92,000,000 acre-feet per year), with 71% of groundwater used for irrigation and about 29% used for mining, residential use, and public supply. The speaker claims the Ogallala alone supplies 20 to 21,000,000 acre-feet per year for irrigation and sits beneath almost 112,000,000 acres of land, much of it farmland. They also cite the Central Valley Aquifer in California as averaging 10,000,000,000 to 12,000,000,000 gallons per day (figures cited as 2011–2017). For net depletion, they reference USGS-cited totals of about 1,000 cubic kilometers depleted from 1900 to 2008, accelerating to 25 cubic kilometers per year since 2008. They also state that the Ogallala has lost 286 million acre-feet from predevelopment through 2019 and lost 9,000,000 acre-feet from 2001 to 2019. More specific “when wells run dry” claims include that, for West Texas, 60% of surveyed wells in 2024 had reached levels below the pump intake, described as well failures (pump intake above the water level). The speaker states the Ogallala Southern portion will be unusable within 20 years at current pumping rates. They also claim the aquifer in Southwest Kansas dropped about 1.5 feet from January 2024 to January 2025 and cite state officials saying parts of Western Kansas may not have enough groundwater to last another 25 years. The speaker adds that Nebraska is described as not having a shortage due to stringent enforcement that limits drilling, and that concern is focused on North Texas, West Texas, Kansas, and parts of Oklahoma. California is described as having high depletion intensity, including a documented more-than-28-foot drop in some places, and the speaker states that without enforcement, impacts would affect about one generation. The speaker forecasts broader disruption beginning around 2030 and says population growth by 2035 is projected to be 358 million, concentrated in already water-stressed regions. They reference a 2019 study claiming Ogallala groundwater depletion could increase by up to 50% as an annualized rate by 2050. They also cite 2023 data stating U.S. data centers consumed about half to one trillion gallons per year (described as “17… seeing… a trillion gallons” in the transcript) and argue data centers overstress specific groundwater basins. A further driver described is increased manufacturing tied to policy and industry expansion, including CHIPS Act-funded semiconductor plants and battery gigafactories. The speaker claims these facilities require millions of gallons of fresh water per day per facility and that most will come from groundwater. They also discuss limited water pricing compared with fossil fuels, arguing that once wells are permitted and installed, pumping incentives differ from oil and gas. A timeline of impacts is described from now through 2045 and beyond: accelerated well failures in Texas and surrounding areas toward 2030; running out of water for row crops in the Southern Ogallala in North Texas and increased agricultural reductions by 2030–2035; severe restrictions in California and sustainability deadlines by 2040; up to 70% of the Texas Panhandle becoming unusable for irrigation by 2035–2045; and “functionally exhausted” aquifers for thousands of years after 2045. The speaker concludes that the U.S. would stop functioning as the “breadbasket” within about one generation, roughly by 2050, and says food production would reorganize around the Eastern and Northern Plains, implying major population movement away from affected regions. The speaker then argues potential reversal would require reducing groundwater pumping through population reduction and/or ending government suppression over “free energy technologies,” which the speaker claims would make desalination and water transport feasible. The speaker also links the water depletion argument to a broader narrative about scarcity and control. The speaker adds a Central Texas example involving new pipelines carrying treated wastewater to the Colorado River, describing it as sewage from treated waste water used by SpaceX and The Boring Company facilities, and questions what is in the wastewater. The transcript ends with additional commentary and a strong call to “prepare,” followed by a lengthy discussion promoting physical gold and silver as a way to “eliminate counterparty risk,” including references to Battalion Metals and sales/website directions.

Speaker 0: We have to talk about fossil water depletion even though this is a longer time scale than the current crisis surrounding oil and natural gas coming out of the Persian Gulf. But this isn't way out there in time. It's coming in the next few years, and it's it's bad. And what got me thinking about this was last week, I was talking with someone who turned out to be a professional who drills wells in Central Texas. And I said, oh, you drill wells. Have you heard about the data center issue? And he said, oh, yeah. Yeah. Everybody's talking about the data centers, drilling wells, or or tapping into wells requiring the water companies to drill more wells and that it's taking much more water. I said, well, what what are you seeing out there in terms of drilling wells, in terms of water water depth? You know, is the water holding? Is it staying steady? He said, oh, no. No. No. He said, in in some parts of Central Texas, he has personally seen water levels drop. This is the aquifer. Water levels drop 50 feet in five years. I said, what what do you what do you mean? You mean, are you saying 10 feet a year? He said, yeah. 10 feet a year. That's what we're seeing. I said, well, my god. That's not sustainable. He said, no. No. It's not. I said, so are you having to go back and redrill people's wells and then, like, set their pumps lower? He said, well, actually, what what tends to happen is people's pumps and this is how you know I'm not making this up, by way. I was actually talking with the guy that that I'm describing here. He said that when the water drops below the level of the pump, the pump keeps running and because it's trying to get water, and then a lot of pumps don't have heat protection. And so they will overheat, and he says they will fuse themselves to the well casing. You know, the the well casing. It could be like, I don't know what is, eight inch diameter pipe or whatever that goes down. Maybe it's only six inches that goes down hundreds of feet that you put the pump into. Right? That's the well casing. He says the pump gets fused to the well casing, and at that point, there's nothing you can do other than drill a new well. So I followed up, and I asked, so are you are you drilling a lot of new wells to replace failed wells here in Texas? He said, yep. That's primary business that's happening right now is is drilling new wells. So I I knew about the Ogallala Water Aquifer because I covered it ten years ago. And, yeah, it's way worse since ten years ago. But I I knew about these aquifers and how important they are. There's a few large ones. There's one giant one, Central Valley Aquifer in California. For example, there's a Mississippi River Valley Aquifer. But this Ogallala Aquifer, it is underneath about, I think it's eight states. Let me check. Yeah. Here it is. Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota, and Wyoming. And this one aquifer now it's massive. Think about an underground lake, but something larger than the Great Lakes. This is a lake that spans eight US states underground. Well, this one aquifer supplies 30% of all The US groundwater that's used for irrigation. One aquifer, 30% of the irrigation water when they use ground water. So think about this. The breadbasket of America is heavily dependent on fossil water that is vanishing. And then to add to that, the data centers march in and they start taking billions of gallons of water, not just to cool the data centers, but to cool the gas turbines that are providing electricity to the data centers. Yes. Those are often water cooled as well, and they use up the water. So now we have a whole new demand for water in addition to the increasing populations. A lot of people moving into Texas, for example. And this is accelerating the depletion of fossil water in America to the point where you fast forward one or two decades. I'll I'll give you the actual numbers coming up. There's no more breadbasket in America. The farming stops because there's no water. That's what I'm gonna detail for you here because, of course, I've had my AI agents do the do the research on this. The collapse has already begun. 30% of the portion of the Ogallala that is underneath the state of Kansas is already at, quote, day zero. 30% is unusable right now. It wasn't wasn't that way ten years ago, so that accelerated. 70% of the Texas Panhandle portion of the Ogallala will be unusable within twenty years. And, of course, some portions will be unusable in five years, others in ten, others in 70% unusable in twenty years. And you might think, well, it'll just recharge. It just needs some rainfall. Yeah. It does recharge. The recharge of the Ogallala Aquifer will take place over the next six thousand years. In six thousand years, if we stop using the water, it will be full again. So all all we have to do is figure out how to eat for the next six thousand years without having America's breadbasket of of, you know, food with free water. Right? So that's the reality, and and there's so much more. Let me give you some statistics about the water usage in The United States. Mostly, it's for agriculture, but not all of it. Some of it's also for residential or commercial use. The commercial side will increase dramatically because of the data centers. So according to the USGS, the estimated use of water in The United States, and this the last report that I could find was from 2015. It was 82,000,000,000 gallons per day. Yeah. 82,000,000,000 gallons a day drawn up from all the aquifers combined. That's about 92,000,000 acre feet per year. It says, and this is in twenty fifteen, seventy one percent of this groundwater was used for irrigation. And then the other roughly 29% was used for sometimes mining, sometimes residential use, sometimes public supply, etcetera. The Ogallala, known as the High Plains Aquifer, alone supplies 20 to 21,000,000 acre feet per year for irrigation according to the USGS. And the Ogallala Aquifer itself sits beneath almost a 112,000,000 acres of land, a lot of that being farmland. Then the Central Valley Aquifer in California, which is the second aquifer of major concern because think about all the food that comes out of the Central Valley Of California. This averages 10,000,000,000 to 12,000,000,000 gallons per day. That was according to figures from 2011 through 2017. But the real number that you need to know is the depletion rate, the the net depletion. So if you add recharging and the capture of new water coming in from from rain, typically, minus all the water being taken out, how much is the net reduction? So from the year 1900 all the way to the year 2008, the total depletion was about 1,000 cubic kilometers. Sorry to give you mixed units here, but that's what the USGS is citing. And since 2008, that has accelerated to 25 cubic kilometers per year. Wow. And the Ogallala Aquifer has lost two eighty six million acre feet from its predevelopment through the year 2019, and then it lost 9,000,000 acre feet just from 2001 to 2019. So let me just paint a simplified picture for you here because I'm sorry to be throwing different years and different numbers and different units at the same time. All right. So let's talk about when the wells run dry. So this is according to the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District. They are saying that the Texas High Plains or the Southern Ogallala portion of that aquifer, the let's see. The saturated thickness in the High Plains is 51 feet, and over 60% of the wells surveyed in West Texas in 2024 had reached levels below the pump intake. Got that? So 60% of the wells in West Texas have already failed. That is the the pump is above where the water is. Now that's the ones associated with the Ogallala Water Texas Panhandle portion will be unusable within twenty years at the current current pumping rates. Now those pumping rates are only going to increase because of data centers. You got it. Exactly. The aquifer in Southwest Kansas dropped one and a half feet from January 2024 to January 2025. That's one year it dropped a foot and a half. It's never happened like that before, and some state officials have said that certain parts of Western Kansas won't have enough groundwater to last another twenty five years. That's one generation of farming, and it's gone. 30% of the Kansas portion is already described as past day zero. So in ten to twenty five years, many counties in Kansas will have no more groundwater. And then for the the more abundant portions of the state, that will stretch out to twenty five to fifty years or two generations of farming, and that's it. Alright. Now some good news is in Nebraska, this is the Central Ogallala. Nebraska is not having a shortage because of extreme limitations on drilling for water. So the Natural Resources District has stringent enforcement. As a result, in Nebraska, the Ogallala will last many decades to come. There's not really a concern about this aquifer in Nebraska. So that's good news. But for North Texas, West Texas, and Kansas, and parts of Oklahoma, which we haven't covered here yet, it's not looking good at all. Now moving out west to California, the highest depletion intensity of more than 28 feet. That's a 28 foot drop. Wow. Has been documented in some play certain places. If California does not enforce its limitations on groundwater depletion, then current question David comes president David one generation also. Now it's not a problem that's gonna be here tomorrow. It's not next week, but it's one generation. Makes you wonder, how are we gonna grow food? And these projections are based on current numbers, which don't even incorporate the data center tapping into the water mains or drilling new wells just for the data centers, etcetera. So across the country, the overall view is that we are going to experience disruptions beginning around 2030. So let me let me give you the overall S. Population is projected to be three fifty eight million by the year 2035. Most of that population growth is going to be in areas that are already highly stressed in terms of water resources, such as Texas, Arizona, Florida, the Carolinas, etcetera. So that means demand is going to go up. In addition, the NOAA says there's gonna be a roughly see the so, United And And crops and trees, etcetera. And this so, means that according to a 2019 study that the groundwater depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer could increase by up to 50% as an annualized rate by the year 2050. That is, you know, if we make it that far. But here's the kicker, data centers. So according to data out of 2023, US data centers consumed 17 we're half the 20 seeing lot about a trillion gallons growth in per year. And Now although the agricultural demand is still much larger than this trillion gallons per year, the data centers are concentrated in certain regions, like Texas, like Northern Virginia, like Arizona near Phoenix, etcetera. And they tend to overstress certain groundwater basins. Because remember, this isn't just one giant underground lake that's all connected everywhere. This is water in rock. Okay? It's it's water. It's fluid inside the rock fissures. And if you deplete one area, it doesn't automatically recharge laterally from the next area over. You know, geology is very complex, obviously. Some of that does happen, but you can't count on that. So if you're just pulling up a massive amount of water from a very limited area, then you can cause wells to drop substantially or or water levels in the wells to drop in that area. Now, there's one more factor in all of this that's also pretty alarming, and it's that Trump is working to bring manufacturing back to America, which I I understand economically the motivation for that. Right? Wanna provide jobs for Americans. Well, along with that comes a lot of water processing. So in the semiconductor industry, which, of course, Trump has been very big on that, in battery manufacturing and and hydrogen extraction, etcetera, there's a act called the CHIPS Act that funded fabrication plants in Arizona, Texas, Ohio, and New York that are going to require millions of gallons of fresh water per day per facility. TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor, is building out Arizona. Intel is building in Ohio. Samsung is building in Texas. And then there are these gigafactories that will produce batteries. And, you know, Trump just met with China and it seems like he's going to invite a trillion dollars of investment from China to build manufacturing facilities in The United States. That's going to cause billions of gallons water of increased demand per year, almost all of which will come from groundwater. So you see, it's not just that the data centers and the chip fabs are taking the power grid from residents or the municipal water from residents or the farmland that would otherwise be used to grow food. Rather, they're they're taking the fossil water from residents, Water that future generations of farmers would have relied upon in order to grow food. And, of course, if you can't grow food in America, then you have a major problem. Famine Famine is in the future. And I'm not even talking about the famine from this current fertilizer shortage. I'm talking about a systemic inability to grow food as a nation. That that is less than a generation away. So unlike oil or natural gas, you can't import water. I mean, not in any kind of cost effective way. You know? There aren't transport ships on the ocean that are just bringing you water. It would it'd be way too expensive, and you're certainly you're not gonna get water out of the Persian Gulf. They don't have any. So where are you gonna get the water? Well, the other problem is that when wells are pumping, that water is free. Of course, you pay the electricity, you know, you pay for the drilling, etcetera. But once you run that well, the water is free, which means there's no price signal that would cause others to use less water. You know, like with oil, there's a price signal. If gas prices go up, people use less gas. But with water, once you have the well, which is typically permitted by the county, once you have the well, you're gonna pump as much as you can. Now, of course, there are restrictions on that. And in places like Central Valley, California, there are extreme restrictions. You are only allowed a certain number of gallons per year. All of you farmers out there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The same thing is true in Arizona or Wyoming or Nevada or any of these states, even New Mexico, West Texas, wherever. It's also true in places like Colorado. So wherever is scarce, you know, the wells typically have a limit on them. Other wells are limited simply by the geology. You know, a well might produce on the low side 10 gallons a minute. That's not considered a very good well. A decent well might produce, you know, 30 or 40 gallons a minute. A nice well could do 60 or 80 gallons a minute. And then the municipal water companies will drill much deeper. I heard that in Central Texas, they'll drill down to 1,600 feet or something in that range. And they'll have a much larger well casing and a much larger pump, you know. I don't know if it's like a five horsepower pump or even larger, probably larger. Yeah. I mean, given the depth, they would have to be even larger than that. But they can produce, no doubt, hundreds of gallons a minute. So here's here's the picture. From right now to the year 2045, here's what it looks like. So from today to 2030, we're accelerating well failures in Texas, in Southwest Kansas, parts of Oklahoma and parts of New Mexico. Roughly 30% of the Kansas Ogallala portion is already exhausted, as I mentioned earlier, and some districts are already rationing or offering buyout programs for farmers. From the years 2030 to 2035, then we're going to start to have the Southern High Plains that is the Ogallala Southern portion, which is still in North Texas. They're gonna run out of water. They're gonna have to stop growing row crops. You're going to have a massive reduction in in cotton, corn, sorghum, soybeans, feedlot capacity, all of this. In California, the Central Valley basins will start facing some severe restrictions. There's going to be some sustainability deadlines coming up by 2040. And there's going to be large scale farm retirements that will take place between 2030 and 2035. These will be farms that will be designated no longer farmable, period. No longer farmable. And they will remain that way for thousands of years. So, yeah, that's parts of America are about to become kinda like The Middle East where you can't grow any food because there's no water. Makes you wonder how we're gonna get by. Okay. I'll talk about that, though. Then from the years 2035 to 2045, you're gonna have, again, according to University of Texas study in 2025, you're gonna have up to 70% of the Texas Panhandle will be unusable for irrigation. You're gonna have a $50,000,000,000 annual reduction in agricultural output from just from the Ogallala Aquifer drying up. You're going to have massive losses of U. S. Corn, wheat, cotton, beef production, you know, any kind of ranching production. Domestic food prices are gonna skyrocket. Some commodities are gonna face some real scarcity at that time. That's assuming we still have the same population, which is also highly doubtful anyway. But that's up to the year 2045. And then from 2045 and beyond, then you're going to have a large portion of the Ogallala and the Central Valley aquifers will be functionally exhausted for thousands of years. The Mississippi embayment systems will continue to remain productive according to projections, and then the national food production is gonna have to reorganize around Eastern And Northern Plains, and you're probably gonna have a mass exodus of people out of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California, etcetera, because you can't grow food there. You can't farm there. The economy is gonna crater, etcetera. But that's it's a number of years away. Right? So that it's it's about one generation away or or less than one generation. So if you think about it that way, it's not that far off. It is coming. So, effectively, The United States' status as the breadbasket of the world ends in about one generation, or you can say roughly by the year 2050. Okay. Now, with that said, let's talk about what could reverse this. So number one, obviously, the globalists are trying to push a depopulation program, and and they've already achieved some degree of depopulation, but nowhere near what they're hoping for. So if they manage to reduce the global population by, you know, 7,000,000,000 or seven and a half billion people as they're trying to do through this war maybe or cutting off fertilizer, cutting off food, cutting off energy, having energy lockdowns, etcetera, then, of course, collapse would reduce the usage of, you know, the aquifers for farming. And then they would start to recharge over millennia. Okay. So that's obvious. But I wouldn't call that success because I'm not in favor of massive depopulation, you know, even though the globalists clearly are. That's one thing. The second thing that could change this dramatically would be the ending of government suppression over free energy technologies. Because water can be found or desalinated out of the ocean or pumped through water pipelines if you have free energy or or close to free energy. Energy. The thing that makes water very expensive to transport right now is that it's heavy. It's very heavy. And, of course, it sloshes around, which makes transportation somewhat difficult. And it's so expensive to transport it that it's not worth it. It's not you know, you can't irrigate a farm if you have to ship in the water. That farm's not economically viable. Period. But if you have free energy and when I say free energy, you know, there are a number of candidates. You could be talking about cold fusion, hot fusion, zero point energy, you know, energy from the quantum vacuum extraction, whatever. You know, use your imagination. If there's free energy, then the water problem is effectively solved. Because then you could just pipe everything in from the oceans with the desalination, etcetera. But then you create a you have a different problem, which is all of the saline swamp runoff from desalination plants. So, you know, you're gonna create another ecological problem there. But at least in that case, you would be able to grow food using, you know, desalinated ocean water. But will the globalists allow humanity to have free energy given that that would make farming and food readily available and abundant again, and it would lead to another population explosion, and we could end up with, you know, 16,000,000,000 people by the year 2050. Will the globalists allow that to happen? I doubt it. They're trying to starve people. They don't want free energy. I mean, why do you think that they've classified all the free energy patents? Why do you think that so many free energy inventors vanish, you know, or they get killed off or or whatever? Because remember, I've said this many times before. Governments of the world run on scarcity, artificial scarcity, engineered scarcity. There's energy all around us, even just e equals m c squared. You know, there's energy in mass. But they don't want us to be able to tap into that. They need energy scarcity because they need food scarcity, scarcity, because they need to control the population and control the people and make sure that you're working your whole life and you never have enough free time to think about why you're a you're a rat in a, you know, or a cog cog in a the wheel of a machine that just serves the globalist interest. Or, you know, I I guess a rat in a running wheel. Just, you know, you're just part of a machine. They don't want you to ever have enough time to think about what's going on. So they keep you busy, you know, working fifty hour work weeks, you know, and paying taxes so you never get ahead, etcetera. That's the current plan. And making sure you can only barely afford enough to eat, but not enough to get ahead and have any real savings. And even if you try to have savings, well, they're gonna rob you of the value of the dollar anyway because most people don't save in gold and silver. And, you know, most people end up dying broke even if they worked their whole lives. And if they have something left, then, you know, it gets eaten up with medical costs or estate taxes or whatever else. The the whole system is designed to use up people and spit them out after taking everything they've ever created so that the governments of the world can have power and control. And part of that is artificial engineered scarcity. So in other words, the the water running out of the Ogallala Aquifer, I think this is something that government wants to see happen. If they didn't, well, they'd be cracking down on it, wouldn't they? I mean, way more than they are already. The current rates of depletion within a generation will destroy much of the food production in America. If they don't stop that, that appears to be by design. And by the way, there was a time in America when oh, in certain places, like even in Texas, oil was real close to the surface, and you hardly had to pump at all. You could just get oil out of the ground. They even did a show, the Beverly Hillbillies. Remember that? Well, this is a story about a man named Jed. Remember that? Yeah. And he, you know, he he shot his gun and then up from the ground came a bubbling crude and then he became a I guess it was a millionaire at the time that show was created. They didn't even have billionaires. Then he became a millionaire. You gotta move to Beverly Hills. So that became comedy show, the Beverly Hillbillies. Everybody enjoyed that. It was hilarious. But there's a there's truth to it, which is that the oil used to be right near the surface in Texas. I mean, there there were oil towns in Texas and everybody was getting rich like crazy. You just drill a a shallow oil well, I mean, in some cases, only a few 100 feet and boom, you were pumping oil. It was like printing money back in a day when there weren't that many options of how to create wealth. So everybody did that. There was a mad oil rush and also Oklahoma and and some of these same areas. I mean, we could do a whole documentary on the history of oil exploration and extraction. And then, guess what? The oil wells dried up, didn't they? The easy oil was gone. And then you had to drill deeper. And then you ended up pumping more water than oil. And then you had to start, you know, injecting gas. You had to start fracking to get oil. And then, you know, the oil quality went down. Now, it's more costly to get it. And I understand technology keeps getting better, but the easy oil is gone. Just like the easy water is also gone. The water that we get from here forward is deeper water, more expensive water. Have to expend more energy to get that water up out of the ground. And that energy that you need as a farmer, that's competing with what the data center needs. And the data center also needs the water, and the data center can probably pay for the water, pay more than you can as a farmer because the data center's got, you know, trillion dollars of investment from some, you know, Emirati's group out of The UAE or or wherever. And you're you're just a farmer trying to get by and make the monthly mortgage payment. You see what I mean? So there's one more way that the data centers are going to displace farms, food and also the culture of Middle America, the culture, a culture that really defined much of America for the last century or so, that culture is going to vanish along with the Oglala, which I think is named after an Indian tribe, by the way, native native American tribe. I mean, think about it. You know? First first, we wipe out the Indians, and then we wipe out the aquifer named after those Indians. And then we're left with what? Poverty, famine, destitution, dust bowl, depletion, collapse. That's the trajectory that we are on. See what I mean? Yeah. Meanwhile, you know, I live in Central Texas, and I noticed the other day as I was driving along one of the highways that there's some new big pipelines going in. They look like 12 inch pipes, and I was wondering if that had something to do with Elon Musk and know SpaceX the headquarters which is in East Austin or The Boring Company which is in Bastrop County. And so I looked it up and sure enough the these new pipes that are going in are going to carry the the sewage of a 140,000 gallons per day of treated waste water from SpaceX and The Boring Company, and that's gonna be transported to a new waste water treatment facility that's been built in Bastrop and that effectively then dumps all of that water into the river. It's called the Colorado River. And just because I've studied a little bit of history about that area, I happen to know that that that area right where the wastewater treatment plant is built, that's old cotton slave plantation land. I mean, they literally had slaves picking cotton all up and down that river, you know, hundred and fifty plus years ago, whatever it was. And now it's it's handling the sewage from from what is it? The Boring Company, headquarters at SpaceX, their Project Echo, and the Starlink factory. Oh my gosh. Wow. And they're gonna they're gonna be dumping all this waste water into the river. I mean, it's gonna be treated, just to be clear, but doesn't it make you wonder what's in all their wastewater if it's manufacturing wastewater? Or we talk about, you know, heavy metals or what's in there? Or is it is it all the toilets toilets from all the workers plus the heavy metals? What is it? I don't know. But, you see, these companies see, Elon chose to move into Central Texas with all his companies, and so, of course, they got permits to to use millions of gallons of water, if not maybe hundreds of millions of gallons per year. And then as a result of all the manufacturing, then they also have wastewater from that manufacturing. So, of course, the wastewater gets dumped into the community. You know, one way or another, it gets dumped into a river. So there you go. Water management, sewage management. Farming seems to be the last priority of anything anymore. What are we supposed to eat? You know? They expect everybody to become cannibals or something? Soylent green for lunch again? Meanwhile, you know, saying, well, we gotta keep up with China. We gotta keep up with China. Okay. Well, priorities matter. I'd rather have farms personally than the boring company. I mean, what does the boring company do for us? Nothing. The boring company builds all these underground tunnels used by, you know, the global elite, used to go from city to city underground. We don't it doesn't serve the public at all. Have you ever been able to use a tunnel that The company built underground? No. Those are all super secret. The only way to get in is to, you know, have the VIP access, and then you can drive from city to city or smuggle weapons or, you know, children or whatever you're smuggling drugs, but but that's not benefiting the people in any way that I'm aware of. Are are you seeing any benefit of that? No. These are all secret, you know, Pentagon programs, really. So there you go. Anyway, stay tuned. You can follow more of my work at brightvideos.com, and you'll be able to follow my articles at naturalnews.com. My infographics infographics are there as well. And if you want clean food and storable superfoods and so much more, check out my online store, healthrangerstore.com. And get prepared, folks. Get ready for some crazy times ahead because one generation left of farming in central the central portion of The United States. One generation, and then it's done. Take care. Right now, more than ever, it's critical to eliminate counterparty risk. That's my belief. And and don't take this as financial advice because I'm not your financial adviser. But when you want physical gold and silver in your hands or or vaulted, professionally vaulted, insured, high security vault, etcetera, That eliminates that counterparty risk, which I think is an extreme risk right now. I think banks are going to fail, and we're gonna have bank bail ins. The currency is failing every day, you know, kind of little by little because of all the money printing and the valuation erosion that's accelerating. Also, because of what's happening in The Middle East, more and more countries are agreeing to sell oil in currencies other than the dollar. And the only way that, treasury yields are kept low is by the Fed printing money and buying our own debt because there aren't enough international buyers to buy our debt anymore. So our country is like a snake eating its own tail financially. It's buying its own debt, and this is gonna end badly. And when it does, in my opinion, those who hold dollars and even in bank accounts or in the stock market or whatever, they're gonna be devastated by the losses. Gold and silver are the best way, in my opinion, to preserve your assets and make it through the coming storm. And the best place to get gold and silver is a company I've been working with, the original founders of the group for six or seven years now. Today, it's called Battalion Metals, and you can reach them at metalswithmike.com. And the reason it's called Battalion Metals now is because they did a joint venture with Tucker Carlson. So Tucker Carlson is the cofounder of Battalion Metals. It's the same group I've worked with for years. And let me tell you about these people. They are pro freedom, pro liberty, pro Ron Paul type of people. They respect your privacy. They understand the importance of your security, your privacy, and the importance of giving you gold and silver at the best possible competitive prices. So there's no bait and switch. There's no, you know, rigging. There there there's no weird coins like, here, have this one and a half ounce thing that nobody knows what it is. They don't play games. Otherwise, I wouldn't promote them. This is the same company, metalswithmike.com, Battalion Metals. This is the same group that I recommend to my family, to my friends, and that I use myself. And I stack gold and silver every month, just a certain amount every month, and I have it vaulted with their vaults because I know I can trust them because they're professionals. They're they're high integrity people. They're not fly by night. They are the kind of people that you can trust. Again, otherwise, I wouldn't even be associated with them. So when you wanna get gold and silver in your hands and eliminate that counterparty risk, this is the way to do it. Just go to metalswithmike.com, and you can see the prices right there online in real time at Battalion Metals, or you can schedule a call with them. Just use this button right here. Schedule a call. And they are trustworthy, high integrity, knowledgeable people who can help you devise a strategy that's suitable for you. Just remember, I'm not your financial adviser. I can't give you an investment strategy personalized for you. You need to do that yourself with your own advisers. You can talk with Battalion Metals, and they can help give you a lot of information and some planning as well. But make the best decision for you, and you're gonna make it through this. You'll you'll make it through the storm even as other people lose the value of their dollars or their other investments. Gold and silver will make it through. And right now, in my opinion, gold and silver are still at an incredible buying opportunity in terms of price compared to where they're going to be represented in dollars in the near future. That's my opinion. Do your own research. Do what's best for you, and check it all out at metalswithmike.com. So thanks for watching. I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger. God bless you all. Take care.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Many people are asking for examples of “primary water” because they were never taught it. The speaker says the education system was “taken over by the Rockefellers” in the 1900s, and that the media was “taken over by Operation Mockingbird” in the 1960s, and that “both systems don’t teach about primary water.” The speaker describes primary water as “the combination of hydrogen and oxygen coming in from inside the Earth at a volcanic pressure” to create “brand new water” and “living water.” They say this water “doesn’t contain fluoride,” “doesn’t contain arsenic,” and “doesn’t have Pharmaceuticals or drugs or anything inside of it,” describing it as “pure.” They also explain that historically, when mining for materials like copper, gold, or silver, the mines would flood. The speaker says they had to bring pumps because water was coming in through the walls “because there is so much water underneath us.” They contrast this with what they describe as media messaging about scarcity, saying the media uses fear by promoting drought and claiming “we are running out of water.” The speaker claims this fear is used to usher in “water police, water taxes, and all these water basically restrictions,” including restrictions that prevent people from “grow[ing] your own food,” “water[ing] your lawn,” and “wash[ing] your car.” They urge viewers to become aware of primary water—the water they say they “have never been taught about”—through “theprimarywaterinstitute dot org” in order to “remove the fear” and avoid “live in the fear that we are actually running out of water.”

A lot of people are asking me for examples of primary water because they were never taught it. Reason being is our educational system was taken over by the Rockefellers in the 1900s, and then the media was taken over by Operation Mockingbird in the 1960s. So both systems don't teach about primary water, which is right here. This is the combination of hydrogen and oxygen coming in from inside the Earth at a volcanic pressure to create brand new water, living water, water, water that doesn't contain fluoride, that doesn't contain arsenic, that doesn't have Pharmaceuticals or drugs or anything inside of it, it's pure, and that's why back in the day when they were going into mines and they were trying to mine, for example, copper or gold or silver, whatever it may be, these mines would actually flood out. They would have to get pumps to try to pump out the water because the water was just coming in through the walls because there is so much water underneath us. But the media will always try to put the fear that we are running out of water. They start putting all this drought stuff and that we're running out of water, and We're running out of water, supposedly 'cause we are supposedly using it all up. They're trying to usher in, for example, water police, water taxes, and all these water basically restrictions so that you can't grow your own food, you can't water your lawn, you can't wash your car. So it's important to be aware of primary water, the water you have never been taught about at theprimarywaterinstitute dot org so that you can remove the fear and never live in the fear that we are actually running out of water.

@HealthRanger @CultivateElevat Libya Primary Water💧.....⤵️ Libya’s unlimited water💧 pipeline: The Great Man-Made River (GMMR) Credit : Matt @CultivateElevat https://t.co/FJdGLQ0cf2

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on Libya’s water program during Muammar Gaddafi’s presidency. The speaker asks whether the listener is familiar with what Libya did after Gaddafi, and notes that, since he is no longer there, the program may have gone to waste. They describe Gaddafi’s project as “the eighth wonder of the world,” built around delivering water to the entire continent of Africa and the Middle East. The speaker says Gaddafi learned about water located below the desert and used that knowledge to tap into primary (underground) water. He pulled the water up and built what they describe as the largest pipeline in the world for water. The water was used to provide for Libya’s people, including enabling “organic farms” and “unlimited water” for growing. The result was described as an “organic oasis,” created by using primary water that the speaker says was indispensable and “never going to run out.” The speaker adds that the goal was to bring this water to Africa and to various countries in the Middle East. The conversation also notes that when they first went into Libya, the speaker says the water infrastructure was the first thing taken out.

Are you familiar with Libya's country's water program, at least when I guess Gaddafi was president? Since he's not there anymore, I think that program went to, went to waste, but are you familiar with what they did there? Yes. So they did the, he had the eighth wonder of the world, which was the water that he was going to deliver to the entire continent of Africa and the Middle East, and he basically tapped into primary water because he learned about it and understood that there was water below the desert. So he pulled that water up and built the largest pipeline, I think in the, in the world actually, for water, and was bringing that up, and he was using that water to give to his people so that they could have organic farms and they could have unlimited water to grow, and he created Basically a organic oasis with using all that primary water that was just it, it was indispensible, it was never going to run out, and he wanted to bring that to Africa and all the different countries in the Middle East. And it's interesting because when they first went into Libya, that was the first thing which was taken out

Special report: You are far more powerful than they want you to know. Here's how to unleash it... https://t.co/4CB2y1LiKZ

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript argues that most people underestimate their power over life outcomes because they have been taught they have little or no control. It frames the “good news” as the idea that many problems are not random and that people can change their path and outcomes. For health, the speaker says people often treat diseases as spontaneous chance. They give examples such as type two diabetes being viewed as “random” after consuming “a lot of soda pop and…sugary processed foods,” and they claim it is not spontaneous magic because “type two diabetes has a cause.” They extend the same idea to cancer, Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular/heart disease, stating these conditions “all have causes” and are not the result of curses or “dark magic.” The speaker says some factors are outside of control—such as “all the toxins in the environment”—but they assert people still have “tremendous amount of control,” including by consuming “anti-cancer substances” that counter pro-cancer properties of environmental toxins (including “hormone disruptors,” “heavy metals,” and “pesticides”). For finances, the transcript claims people keep savings in dollars without understanding that dollars lose purchasing power, and it states the reason is that “the dollars are a scam!” It claims the “central bank and the treasury” counterfeit dollars to take away purchasing power, so holding dollars means holding something that will “fall in value.” It says dollars can be traded for “gold or silver…or whatever” to hold value and avoid being “stuck in dollars.” The speaker claims both health and finance examples share a cause: people who experience events as random disasters are said to lack knowledge, while people with cause-and-effect understanding in health, economics, medicine, nutrition, geopolitics, history, etc. see fewer “genuine surprises.” They say many mainstream messages disempower people by making them believe their lives are largely determined by chance, and they describe this as driven by media/authorities and institutions such as the CDC and FDA, plus advertising from “big pharma.” The transcript also asserts that some events do happen by pure chance (e.g., being hit by a drunk driver), but it says most outcomes follow from earlier decisions and choices. It emphasizes that changing choices can happen “at any time.” Next, it argues that pursuing control requires rejecting “conventional” systems and may bring social punishment. It describes social engineering as friends, family, doctors, or others ostracizing someone for diverging from establishment health practices, such as “not [wearing] a mask,” “not…tak[ing] that jab,” or rejecting “statin drugs,” which the speaker links to alleged harms. It also claims that compliance with establishment narratives is enforced socially and that people can lose jobs or licenses for questioning authority. In finance, it claims people are pressured toward conventional investing (e.g., “a sixty forty portfolio of stocks and bonds”) and that questioning it leads others to criticize unconventional options like gold and silver. It argues that brokers can collapse and seize funds (citing brokerage failures such as “MF Global”) and contrasts this with “physical gold and silver” using “self-custody” to eliminate “counterparty risk.” Finally, the transcript concludes that empowerment is a path of “courage,” requiring independence from consensus and groups, because groups derive power from conformity and resources like attention, membership dues, donations, time, and money. It says the goal is to become fiercely independent, pursue merit and substance, and continue advocating “independent thinking, critical thinking, strategic thinking” to gain control over health, finances, and technical or creative achievements.

Here's some good news for you: the vast majority of people don't realize how much power they have over their own circumstances or the outcomes of their lives. Most people suffer under the illusion that they have no control because that's what they've been taught. And you might be asking, "Well, what's the good news?" Well, the good news is you have more power than you might suppose. And let me just give you a few examples here right off the bat. number one, when it comes to health outcomes, people think that disease is just random, random chance, and as a result, people who drink a lot of soda pop and eat a lot of sugary processed foods, when they get diagnosed with type two diabetes, they think it's random. Just spontaneous, like there's nothing they could have done to prevent it, it just hit them because they were unlucky. Well, isn't it weird how people who eat a lot of sugar tend to be really unlucky when it comes to type two diabetes? Yeah, that's because type two diabetes has a cause, and some of it's, you know, sugar consumption obviously, but a similar thing is true with cancer, a similar thing is true with, you know Alzheimer's high blood pressure, cardiovascular, heart disease, whatever, these all have causes. They're, they're not spontaneous magic. It's not like you've been cursed with dark magic and then, you know, a dark wizard in another realm gave you cancer implants. Doesn't work that way. Now, of course, there, there are things that are outside of your control, such as all the toxins in the environment and so on. So, I'm not saying you have absolute control, but you have a tremendous amount of control, especially since you can consume anti-cancer substances that can counteract the pro-cancer properties of toxins in the environment, you know, like all the hormone disruptors and some of the heavy metals and the pesticides and things like that. But it's not just about health. People also tend to not realize how much power they have over their finances. For example, most Americans keep all their money in dollars and all their savings in dollars, and then they don't understand why they're impoverished at the end of the day because the dollars keep losing value, they keep losing purchasing power, and they don't really get why. Well, the reason is because the dollars are a scam! The dollars are being counterfeited by the central bank and the treasury to take away the purchasing power. So if you're holding dollars, you're actually holding something that's going to fall in value. You can trade dollars for things like gold or silver or whatever, and things that will hold value. So you don't have to stay stuck in dollars, and then you escape the scam. So if you work for a living and you wanna save some money, if you save it in something other than a collapsing currency, then you can actually get ahead, and that's up to you. And these two examples I gave, and of course, we can give many other examples in many other areas, but you know what they have in common? Is that people who tend to be struck- By what they think are just random, spontaneous disasters, they tend to be people who lack knowledge. They just lack knowledge. Whereas people like you and I, who have a much more in-depth understanding of how things work, cause and effect, economics, health, medicine, nutrition, geopolitics, history, whatever, to us, very few things are genuine surprises. We have a pretty good idea of what causes what and how this action will lead to that effect, et cetera. We have a pretty good idea about that, and that's a good thing because it means that you are recognizing your power to shape your future. Somehow that skill has been kind of lost on a lot of the population. People have been disempowered. By messages from the media or authorities or government or the CDC or the FDA, you know, disempowered by advertising messages from big pharma, it's like, "Oh, if you feel depressed, you, you have a brain chemistry imbalance. It just happened to you." No, it didn't. There's, there's no such thing as a brain chemistry imbalance that causes depression. That, that's a made-up story that big pharma- Came up with to sell drugs to people who think that a pharmaceutical is gonna make them happy. Of course, then they find out it doesn't really work, but, you know, then, then there's another drug to try this and that. But we live in a world Where almost all of the mainstream conventional messages are deceptive, and they're specifically designed to deceive you into thinking that you don't have any control at all, and into thinking that your life is largely determined by chance. That it's bad luck when things happen. Now there is, you know, there are some things that happen by pure chance. You're driving along a road and then some drunk driver, you know, slams into you out of the blue, right? That's, that's bad luck. That's not your fault. And those things can happen, clearly. But that's not the majority of things that happen. Most of what happens is an extension of decisions that you've made, choices, different paths that you've chosen in your life. And the good news in this is that, of course, you can choose at any time. You can change your path and you can change your outcome. So when you get down to what are the things that most people want in life? What are they? You know, people wanna be free from pain, which means they want good health. People wanna have some level of wealth and financial abundance. People also wanna have purpose and meaning, and typically most people want to have social acceptance or some kind of recognition and also some kind of socialization. You know, they wanna have a family or a spouse or friends or a, a social circle that they interact with where they feel like they're accepted and, and they belong. And these are the primary things that most people want. But these conventional lies that are told to people, that is, you don't have control over your health, and you can never really get ahead with your finances, and you'll never be popular unless you conform To the establishment narratives, these are lies and deceptions that are designed to keep you disempowered and to prevent you from achieving the things that actually matter to you, the list that I just said. So if you wanna get ahead in your health, for example By definition, you're going to have to reject what most doctors will tell you. You're going to have to reject what the media tells you because they're all funded by, you know, pharmaceutical companies and big food, processed food manufacturers, et cetera. You're gonna have to reject the conventional establishment because obviously, the conventional establishment doesn't produce healthy people. It produces what you see. Out there in public right now, which is disease, overweight, obese Americans, that's the product of the system by definition. So if you embrace the system, you're gonna have the same results as those people. The only way to have better results is to reject the system. Now then, by doing so, if you reject the system and if over the years if you've said things like, "I'm not gonna wear a mask, I'm not gonna take that jab, I'm not gonna take statin drugs, they're toxic, you know, they destroy mitochondria, they destroy energy, they destroy heart muscle, whatever," if you've done any of these things, you've probably noticed that then you start to get punished socially. And that's all by design. So if you start to diverge from the establishment in health and medicine and pandemics and vaccines and so on, then some of your friends or social contacts or family members or doctor or whatever will start to ostracize you. Oh, I'm not gonna have anything to do with somebody that won't wear a mask. You've probably heard that before. I'm, I'm not gonna have anything to do with somebody who won't take a jab. You're, you're not being responsible! And then, by the way, those people who took the jabs will get sick themselves, and they'll get diagnosed with COVID, and then they'll blame you for not being vaccinated. "It's your fault that I got COVID, 'cause you, you're not vaccinated," you know? So this, this kind of weird, twisted peer engineering, I guess you could call it, as a form of social engineering, is designed to keep you in line. Make sure you don't step out of line. Make sure you don't ever rock the boat or question the establishment. If you start to question the establishment, then they start to push back against you, and then you can lose your job, you can lose your medical license, et cetera. Same thing with finances. If you start to question the financial establishment, which is, "Oh, you should just invest all your money in a sixty forty portfolio of stocks and bonds, and that's what's gonna do good and everything's good," just, you know, blindly do what everybody else is doing. But if you say, "Wait a minute, the, the stock market's a giant Ponzi scheme, and the bond market is gonna collapse," in-- I mean Think about it, interest rates are gonna move much higher, bond yields are gonna have to go much higher, which means bond value is gonna plummet. I mean, just do the math. Stocks and bonds don't actually seem like a very smart place to put money right now. I think I wanna put money in, oh, I don't know, gold and silver. The minute you say that Then there are some people, oh, you're a gold and silver ancient relic, you know, whatever, whatever they've been programmed to say, 'cause they are programmed to say things like that. And then they'll think you're stupid, even though they're the ones who are stupid for staying involved in a Ponzi scheme where they don't even have actual ownership of any of the stocks or the bonds, it's not even in their name. They're going through a brokerage which could collapse at any time and have a bail-in and seize all their funds, which has happened over and over and over again. Just look at, you know, MF Global or whatever, all, all these examples over the years where the brokerage houses collapsed and took everybody's money. Whereas if you have physical gold and silver in your hands, you have self-custody. So you might say to your friends, "But, but I have self-custody." Which eliminates counterparty risk. And their answer would typically be, "What do you mean? What is self custody? " 'Cause they're not even familiar with the concept, they've never heard of that. They don't know why that's important 'cause they're living in an artificial world, but it's the consensus world. Remember, something doesn't have to be true or accurate to be the consensus. In fact, more often than not, what the crowd believes is the opposite of truth or accuracy. So all of this leads to a really important realization. As I said at the beginning, you have more control over your outcomes than you might suppose. But to pursue that control, you have to express a lot of courage, because you're gonna have to buck the system. You're gonna have to go against the consensus. You're gonna have to go against the herd. The herd doesn't like that. they survive on conformity. They want you to conform. Because it's from that conformity that they derive power. You know, oh, you can only be one of us if you behave like us, if you believe like us, you have to eat like us. You know, if you ever gone to like a church luncheon or something, and you find out that your church is living on processed garbage? You know, all your, all the church people are eating processed junk food, loaded with MSG, garbage like that. Like, wait, wait a second, I'm not sure I wanna be part of this group if this is the way that you are gonna eat, if you're gonna socialize with food and then this is your food base. That's the food of diabetes and cancer and heart disease, and that's kinda what you're gonna get. So If you go to an event like that and you reject that food, then you're gonna be rejected by the group, you see? That's all, that's the social engineering kicking in. Now, if you wanna be like us, you have to eat like us. If you wanna be like us in, in financial circles, you have to invest like us, you have to own the stocks that we own. You can't be an unconventional thinker and be part of our group. You gotta pick one or the other. But again, all these groups have delusions. Delusions of health or food or finance or what they think is freedom or what they think is democracy or what they think is technology, et cetera. So to be a person who takes control over your own future is to be a very, a fiercely independent person, and it's to be a person who isn't always welcome in polite society because you ruffle their feathers, you- You go against the grain, and they don't like that. But the advantage to you is you gain control over your life, your outcomes become your mind, you know, what you wanna do instead of what the system wants you to do. The system wants you broke, indebted, forever, and sick, reliant on their medicines and doctor's visits and Pharmaceuticals and jabs. The system wants you that way because that's their profit model. The financial system wants you indebted. They don't want you to be financially independent, they don't want you to have no debt, have everything paid off, to have possession of your own assets. Oh my God, that's the last thing they want. They want you to be entirely dependent on them. Of course they do. That's why the system is set up that way. The media system. They don't want you to tune into alternative media or get information from sources that they don't control. They want you to watch CNN or Fox News or NPR or read the New York Times or what have you, because then they can control your reality through the information filters that they push onto your brain. If you go outside that system, that's a threat to their information monopoly. If you go outside the system and start to learn something new, something valuable, something independent, you know, it's gonna benefit you, but it won't benefit them. There's no group that benefits from you being a better person The group's only benefit from you joining their group and empowering the group by giving them your resources, could be your attention, could be your membership dues, your donations, your time, your money, the group benefits from you conforming, not from thinking for yourself. And there is no group of fiercely independent thinkers. There's not like the nonconformist union, you know, by definition, doesn't exist. So, thus, the path to personal empowerment is a path that's usually a path with a lot of individualism. It's, it's a lot of saying no to the groups, or saying no to the cults, or saying no to the scams that are out there, and being your own person, navigating the world from a point of view of having transcended all of those sort of uninformed NPC masses who are living out their lives in these Just pathetic little constructs that they live in of groups that are uninformed. Now, there may be some exceptions to this. I can think of, you know, some groups of people would be cool to hang out with, like if we hang out with, you know, a bunch of Ron Paul people. They tend to be much better informed. They tend to be more independent thinkers. Or if you're hanging out with a group of, I don't know let's say natural medicine practitioners, right? They would tend to be more critical thinkers, more independent people. Or frankly, like gold and silver people tend to be more independent thinking type of people because gold and silver isn't, you know, it's not what the mainstream is advocating. So there are groups That represent more individualism and have a lot more intelligence and rationality. They're just, they're not popular groups. They're, it's not gonna be the mainstream. It's not gonna be, you know, Turning Point USA or whatever. It's gonna be some much smaller group, the Ron Paul remnant. And that's where you'll find me, in some place like that. Not at a TPUSA event or anything, anything that's, that's got a lot of, you know, razzle dazzle, you know, theatrical performance, no thank you. I'm not swayed by a bunch of fireworks and light and, you know, pyrotechnics and, you know, special effects and all that kind of stuff. I'm swayed by merit, by substance. By intelligence, creativity, passion, values, ethics, these are the things that matter to me, and I think also to you, which is maybe why you're listening. So that's what I will continue to pursue for you. I'm gonna continue to exercise and advocate independent thinking, critical thinking, strategic thinking. To be able to succeed in every area of your life where you want more control over your outcome, and that's gonna be health, it's finance, it could be technical achievement, intelligence, creativity, innovation, whatever the case may be, I wanna help you succeed in being more of the person that you want to be. And I'll share with you everything that I'm learning, the mistakes I'm making on my journey at the same time, 'cause we're all sharing the same journey in the same world, it's the same simulation, you know, we're all here together at the same time for whatever reason, that's interesting. and you can follow my work at brightvideos dot com and also naturalnews dot com.

I don’t think we need huge gas turbines to power data centers. I believe LENR could power most of our energy infrastructure—without noise, carbon, or heat—and without high-voltage transmission lines crisscrossing the country.

@HealthRanger - HealthRanger

We don't need huge gas turbines to power data centers. We can power most of our energy infrastructure with LENR, which makes no noise and emits no carbon or heat. And LENR doesn't even need high-voltage transmission lines crisscrossing the country. Video clip of decent Decentralize TV episode.

Video Transcript AI Summary
James describes the process of building data centers as difficult because real estate, data center, and technology stakeholders “don’t have any practical understanding of what it’s gonna take,” leading to “a totally different language” and “a mess,” which he calls a “total disaster” when these groups come together. Todd responds that, even with extreme demand for power and the war in the Middle East creating “a stranglehold on the world's energy infrastructure,” he believes there is “never been a better time to look at alternatives.” He argues that if scalable decentralized energy became real, it would not “collapse everything,” but would cause a “reconfiguration,” which he says “should have been this way a long time ago,” and he notes that the energy discussions “started a long time ago in DC.” James cites a book called *The Energy Conversation* by Nora Mackabee, saying people involved with energy conversations took him to DC and introduced him to others attempting to bring in the kind of technology he has been discussing. He emphasizes that preparation and discussions should involve more than just political people, and he frames energy independence as “a national security issue,” with energy priorities “number one.” The conversation connects energy to military modernization, stating that “every, even the military equipment is going electric,” due to battery technology breakthroughs, with “eventually… electric tanks” and “electric military aircraft.” James adds that this could involve a technology industry that could “sit on a military base and recharge all the batteries… and keep everything going remotely.” Todd and James also discuss small modular reactors (SMRs), noting that this approach is “stalled” because nuclear rods must be installed on site and can be stolen to make a “dirty bomb.” They contrast this with LENR, saying LENR involves “none of that danger involved,” specifically “not uranium rods.” They claim LENR proponents are “very open” about what it is, how it works, and what they are doing, and state they have been “tested so many times” and have “never hidden at all.” James further states that the government’s suppression of these technologies has limited progress, and he contrasts it with Trump’s stated obsession with obtaining uranium material from Iran because the material is “so dangerous,” saying LENR is “not” that and involves “no nuke in the nuclear reaction at all,” calling its safety “key.”

I mean, I feel like I'm living in, in, in a world of crazy people sometimes, like they don't put things together. You can't just wave a magic wand and have a data center. No, so there's a lot of effort, a lot of effort. One of the-- I, I spoke to investor last week and his entire business is dealing with real estate people for land to put in data centers and then the process of putting in the data center, and these real estate people are meeting with the data center people and the, the technological- People that want all that, they're all having these meetings, and it's just a totally different language reading on all of them, and they don't have any practical understanding of what it's gonna take, and it's just a mess. He told me, he told me the whole thing. Not surprising. that how much of a total disaster all those people coming together to, to do this, 'cause it's not it's not the right thing to do. Yeah, Todd your, your thoughts on this, this focus All I ask, James, is that in-- You want one too? I have to give, I have to give you one too? No, no, no, no, no. I'm not, I'm not high maintenance. I, I just want your marketing materials to say, as launched on Decentralized TV, and then Mike and I to each get a participation trophy. That's all. That's all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want a participation trophy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's question. And we'll pay for the unit. Exactly. But Todd, don't you think that right now with th-this extreme demand for power and the war in the Middle East that has-- Yeah. It, it's, it's a stranglehold on the world's energy infrastructure. Oh, a hundred percent. And if, if there's never been a better time to look at alternatives. No, no, and, and, and James, if scalable decentralized energy became real, how dramatically would that disrupt centralized power structures, do you think? Very little at the beginning, very little. I think that has been highly exaggerated about the, the, about the, that suddenly if this were to come out, it's just gonna collapse everything. That's not gonna happen. No, I don't think collapse, but just kind of, I, I thought like a reconfiguration. Yeah, it'll be a reconfiguration, but it's a necessary reconfiguration, and it should have been this way a long time ago. And the discussions about the reconfiguration, I know when they started and who started them. The- Energy conversation. If people ever wanna get real research about the energy conversation about what we've been talking about specifically, that started a long time ago in DC, there's a book written called The Energy Conversation by Nora Mackabee, and you can get it on Amazon. And those are the people that came to me when they knew I was talking about alien art and took me to DC and took me into Dittra and took me to meet everybody that was doing that type of thing, and then they told me that- Real background of people that have been trying to bring in tech like this and others to pull back the curtain, 'cause I know we got everything. I know, I know what we've got, and all that stuff should be coming out. And that's just the way it should be, but there should be some preparation obviously and discussions about how that will be done by everybody, not just political people, 'cause they're useless to me. Well, James, this is a national security issue as far as I'm concerned. Yes. LNR should be- Priority number one, you know, Trump is prioritizing military budgets, data centers, bringing in investors from the Arab nations or wherever to build plants. Okay, he's prioritizing a lot of things. This should be number one, as far as I'm concerned, because if you aren't energy independent in a way that-- I mean Every, even the military equipment is going electric. Yeah. You, you-- because of battery technology breakthroughs, you're gonna have, eventually, you're gonna have electric tanks. I'm, I'm not joking. Yeah. You're gonna have electric military aircraft. Yes. Not joking. Yep. This is coming. Yep. This technology is what could sit on a military base and recharge all the batteries for all the equipment and keep everything going remotely. Right. Yes. That's been discussed many times. And now there's a whole industry of small modular reactors, SMRs. I think, you know, like Raytheon and Lockheed Mar- I think they've got like SMRs, but that's stalled because there's still nuclear rods that have to be installed on site that some, you know, terrorists could come steal and make a dirty bomb out of, and that's not the case with LENR. No, there's none of that danger involved. Right. at all. It's not uranium rods. No, no. People can look at that website and they're very open about what it is, how it is How it works and what they're actually doing. They're, they're, they've never hidden at all. In fact, they've, they've made it a point to be very public about what they're doing and how they're doing it. And they've been tested so many times it's like they don't need, they're past all that now. Yeah, of course, of course. So, so but you know how Trump is obsessed with obtaining the uranium material from Iran right now because that material's so dangerous. Yeah. But Nuclear energy creation isn't that what this is? No, not, not at all. It's, there's no nuke in the nuclear reaction at all. Right. so it is safe, that's key and also that because of the suppression of all these technologies, because, you know, America and our government didn't help on this.

Is there a future with compact, mobile, abundant energy? James Martinez thinks so. Video clip from our Decentralize TV interview that aired recently. https://t.co/jxXGdjeum3

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion focuses on what “Todd” and others want from cold fusion–related units: a device that can be set on a desk and run to generate heat, along with questions about feasibility and distance to that capability. One participant recalls a prior meeting at Google headquarters/grounds where a unit was operating, with photographs taken and “no press” present. They say many top science people were there, but no one else seemed to know anything, and the demonstration may have involved a turn-the-wheel type mechanism by Robert Goddard designed for that event. The point was that investors need to see something directly; simply looking at a static unit does not convey useful information because “you can’t see heat.” The group also notes difficulties with press access during COVID, describing scenarios where press people bypassed procedures but were still not allowed in because others could not get through. The speaker emphasizes they are discussing units available outside the company and want to be “the first to buy a unit.” The conversation then shifts to plans for showcasing technology for an audience: robots walking around, cold fusion devices being used, drones delivering smoothies, and experimenting with an old used EV battery as home storage after hacking it for storage. A participant says they could have sent updates by email or text but came in person to thank them because an event “changed things for the country.” They add that targets should not be put into emails. Regarding the technical and investment direction, the speaker refers to earlier expectations that the system would be “a hybrid boiler” generating electricity, contrasting that with investors wanting electricity “now.” They then cite Jensen Huang of Nvidia, who said the world needs “a thousand times more electricity than we have in the entire world to run AI,” and connect this to scale requirements: they say some data centers run at “one gigawatt of continuous,” while producing “one gigawatt of output from cold fusion requires some scale, a lot of scale, massive scale,” and would not be near that yet. They also note cold fusion would not match the energy density output of a gas turbine, and they describe a belief that it will not aim in that direction initially. Finally, they argue that the plans to power large data centers won’t work for a long time, specifically mentioning the “grid approach.” The speaker says the grid is already stressed and suggests the plans themselves are not harmonious with broader needs, implying that powering all these data centers is not expected to be feasible.

What Todd and I want from you is to tell us when there's something that's, that we can set on the desk and we can run it and it'll generate heat. You know what I mean? How far away is that? Can you give me any idea? They had a big meeting at the Google headquarters or on their grounds a couple years ago and they had a unit running there. I think I might have mentioned that too. Yeah, I remember that. Took photographs of it. No press was there. Nobody showed up. Really? Nobody knew anything. Oh. It was going on. There were a lot of the top science people there. But it was demonstrated there. Yeah, I, yeah, I told them, "You need to show somebody something. You need to-- It's not, 'cause when you go and look at it, you're not gonna go, "Wow, it's not glowing. " No, it's just-- It doesn't do anything. It's just Doing something so they could see it, and they did have that. Robert Goddard's made it specifically for this event. Can I ask you to like turn a wheel? Yeah, that's exactly what he was doing. Yeah. And 'cause I said, investors need to see something. If they go just look at a unit, that doesn't tell them anything. It doesn't give them any information. You can't see heat. No. You know? Right, right. So they did that. and it wasn't the, the people that understood what was going on and watching it, they got it, but the press there, there was none. We invited press, it was during COVID, that's part of the problem. Part of the problem, yeah. Yeah. So guys came in that were press people that bypassed all that, and then they still weren't allowed in because people wouldn't get-- they couldn't get there. so that did happen. Yeah, but, but I'm talking about units a-available outside the company where you'll be the first to know. Okay. Well, I wanna be the first to buy a unit. I, I- You'll be the first to buy one if you want. Okay, that's, that's what I want. I wanna be the first to buy a unit 'cause we're gonna have robots here on the show, right, Todd? We're gonna have robots walking around. I want cold fusion devices here. Yeah. we're gonna have drones flying around delivering smoothies, you know? Like we And an old used EV battery, we're gonna see if we can hack that thing out there as a home storage system. We are trying to demonstrate revolutionary technology for the audience. Yep. Well, this-- you'll see it. I, I, what's going on now is like a miracle. And I'm, I, I could have given you all the updates via email or text, but I felt the need to come here in person to thank you in person because that event changed things for the country. Yeah, yeah, don't put it in emails 'cause you, you put targets on Yeah. So just, it changed, it changed everything. I, I didn't know about it till later, they, they told me. Okay. and I said, "Really? " 'cause I've done hundreds of interviews. So it's gonna come out as a hybrid boiler, let's say, right? And a different something else that will generate electricity. I don't know because the, the plans were- The boiler, boiler, boiler, boiler, yeah. And now all of a sudden they just goes, "No, no, no, you do that fine, but here's an, here's a bunch of money, give us electricity now." That's what the investment people want. But in order to generate the level of electricity, for example, Jensen Huang of Nvidia just said, you probably saw this, Todd, he just said, "We need a thousand times more electricity than we have in the entire world to run AI." I mean, that's what he implied to run compute, okay? Yeah. Well Some of these data centers are one gigawatts of continuous. Now, to produce one gigawatt of output from cold fusion requires some scale, a lot of scale, massive scale. It won't be nowhere near that yet. Yeah, 'cause it doesn't have the energy density output of a gas turbine. No. In fact My feeling is it's not gonna aim in that direction. Okay. Initially. I could be wrong I don't think so. In fact yeah, starting small makes more sense. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly probably what's gonna do, baby steps, of course. But the thing is, is these plans that these people have to do all this stuff, I've talked to lots of science and technical people, it's not gonna work. For a long time. What's not gonna work? To, to, to power all these data centers and what they wanna do, it's not gonna work. You mean, you mean the grid approach? Yeah. And the- I don't think it's gonna work. Oh yeah, the grid, the grid's stressed already. Yeah. The, the, the people that have made these plans, and maybe it's because of the plans themselves that aren't harmonious with everybody, as you understand that's why it's not gonna work. Bright videos.

The commercialization of LENR technology for abundant, low-cost energy is now beginning. Almost no one is factoring this into the energy landscape, but it will change everything... https://t.co/xc0I7atlbJ

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion compares existing ways to convert heat into power, noting that thermoelectric couplers directly convert heat to power but are very expensive for the amount of power produced, requiring a massive number of them and leading to huge upfront costs. Steam turbines are described as relatively cheap, but they consume water, which is “gone unless you recondense it,” and they face issues related to steam pressure, where a clog in the system can cause an explosion. The conversation shifts to engineering and standardization requirements for a new industry, emphasizing that technical safety standards must be developed through technical standards committees. One such group is called Insights. The interviewee says standardization for the US and other countries had not even started, because others are still coming out with a product and timelines for manufacturing and standards had not begun. They also mention that the pace of product development is expected to accelerate. A separate topic is described as “Few nuclear energy that’s got no nuke in it,” clarifying it as heavy water converting into excess heat via a very slow reaction through one catalyst rod. A key engineering milestone is said to be the ability to switch the system on, off, and up and down; the ability to turn it off is described as having been achieved earlier, kept very secret, and later supporting additional investment because it showed there is a chance for the technology. The conversation notes a multiplier effect of the input, with a previously discussed ratio of about 2.7. For mass production, reproducible rods that perfectly work each time are presented as a critical requirement. The rods are described as “very mysterious,” involving structure, fissures, alloys, and exotic elements, which made rapid manufacturing difficult. The transcript then says this manufacturing work is being done in-house and that AI is being used to accelerate mimicking the amount of heat coming out per rod. After rods are made, they are said to be bundled and then placed into bigger units. Currently, logistics involve buying or receiving a heating unit (with the name of the company not mentioned) and retrofitting the technology to fasten into an existing home heating unit. The approach is described as integrating the conversion technology into the heating unit so it is already built into the system. They conclude by describing excitement from a large facility and an open house for shareholders and others, attributing progress to hard work and U.S. innovation, including many people who have sacrificed to reach the position. They emphasize that those making decisions should do so for the right reasons.

So, but there's also technology that exists today that is, what do they call it, like thermoelectric couplers or whatever, that just directly convert heat to power, but those are very expensive for how much power they produce, and you'd have to buy a massive number of them, and so the upfront cost gets huge. So, you know, steam turbines are very cheap, relatively speaking, but then they consume water. Yes. The water's, you know, yep, gone unless you recondense it, which is possible, but that's another layer. And then you also have the issue of steam building pressure. So if you have a clog in the system Shit explodes, which isn't good for consumers, right? Right. Right. So, yeah. All of these, I would imagine, have to be like engineering questions. Oh yeah. Like engineering questions. This is gonna have to go through all the committees the technical standards committees, which is one of those groups is called Insights, I know, because I deal with another tech on those committees, and That includes all the safety what the standards are going to be in that industry. This is a totally new area, 'cause I've talked to other people in other committees and I said, "Well, how long does it take to do standardization for the US and multiple other countries to-- when man-- manufacturing starts and coming out, what are these standards gonna be?" So the-- that part of it, they haven't even got started with that part, 'cause I know what's going on with it. they're still coming out With a, a product, it's now gonna be accelerated a lot quicker, it's gonna come out a lot quicker now. Well, that's good, 'cause I've, I've been asking to buy, yes, one of these since we talked last time. No, no, remember, I've al-- I already invited you many times to this location. I know, but I, I don't-- I wanna run a unit here. So, yeah. Make me customer number one, I'll pay for it. We just-- we would love to demo the thing right here on the Fuel, I mean, this is a mass to energy conversion process that's natural, it's part of physics. Yeah. But it's not hot fusion, obviously. No, this is the, this is the Few, the, the nuclear energy that's got no nuke in it, as my colleague says, right, because if it did it wouldn't have made it this far. But it's converting, is it, is it heavy water or is it deuterium? Heavy water. Heavy water and into excess heat. Yes, through one catalyst rod, which is like the key to the whole thing. Right. And it's a very slow reaction. Yes. Now, the, the engineering marvel that I, I spoke about the last time was being able to- To switch it on, switch it off, turn it up and turn it down, 'cause if you can't do that, you have nothing. Of course. So that- We can't turn it off. Yeah, that milestone was made a while ago. It was kept very secret. It's what basically allowed more investment to come in because it said, "Okay, now we can see that, that's, we have a chance here." so that was one of the big milestones that happened. But the other technical milestone, there's also a multiplier effect of the input And I believe that ratio the last time we spoke was like two point seven or something. Yeah. Yes. Now, here's the other critical thing that needs to happen. Okay. When you're gonna be mass producing anything, you're gonna have to have rods that are reproducible and perfectly work each time. those rods are very mysterious. Yeah, the, it's the whole thing. The structure, the fissures, the- Yes. Alloys, and there's all kinds of exotic- The elements. So there was it was difficult to manufacture them in a s- in a quick way. Oh, I'm sure. That's all being done in-house in their own environment now. and they're using AI as a way to accelerate mimicking the amount of heat that's coming out per rod. and then obviously when they get that down, which I think they have now, they'll bundle the rods. And then once they're bundled- Mundled, then they'll be put into bigger units. But right now, the one of the things that's, that's happening is they, they were, they bought a heating unit I don't think I shouldn't mention the name of the company they bought a heating unit and they were donated a heating unit, the one that would be in your house, and they're doing the retrofit of the tech to go into, kind of fasten into the existing heating unit, and that would be tucked into the heating unit So that when somebody goes by, it, it would already be in the unit itself. so they're doing all the logistics of putting, putting the two technologies together. they have when I went to the big opening that they had it was this kind of open house for all the shareholders and everybody was there, and it's a huge facility now. And there's a lot of people involved now and it's exciting to see 'cause this is pure hard work, US innovation, a lot of people have sacrificed to get it to this position and it's something to be proud of for this country. There are good things that are happening, and these guys have always wanted to make sure that people know that because like, the thing is, is this is the big part which I always wanna bring, 'cause I know it's gonna come out. I want the people that are making this and making these decisions to be doing it for the right reasons.

Video clip of my interview with Prof. Robert Pape, about the long-term damage to the oil infrastructure in the Middle East, and why RECOVERY will take much, much longer than people assume... https://t.co/igxrMVLggi

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion says a “silver lining” of the situation is that it shows how energy is generated and why changes take time: long supply chains and complex sequences of events must occur not only for oil to flow but also for supporting infrastructure such as natural gas. The guest argues that people underestimate recovery time. Even if political steps are announced—such as an agreement with Iran being finalized and the Strait being opened immediately—the effects are not immediate. The guest explains that, as seen during COVID, the supply chain operates with a month-long pipeline of material and “months of inventory” and “cushion.” When oil stops, the rise in prices happens right away because markets anticipate the effects, but the cushion delays the full impact. Restarting oil would take months before output returns close to pre-shutdown levels. The guest adds that inventories and storage “cushion” are becoming more visible in the news and anticipates that in June there will be a “freakout” about how inventories work. A second major point is that assumptions about how quickly oil prices return may be wrong. The guest says negotiations are being framed around Iran returning oil prices to where they were on February 27, and that this is a “giant political assumption.” The guest claims Iran has learned it can “beat the United States,” gain power, and gain money when oil prices rise, benefitting not only itself but also others such as Putin. The guest says rivals harmed by high oil prices—such as Saudi Arabia and UAE—are part of the picture as well. The guest concludes that Iran may not aim for a price around $55–$60 per barrel and instead may be content with higher prices, suggesting Iran could be “very happy” with $90, $95, or $100 oil “for a long period of time.” Returning to the “ordinary person,” the guest says the public notices gas prices rising and expects negotiations to deliver lower prices, but argues that the actual price of oil is not being directly negotiated or addressed publicly. The guest states that what the public would want is a clear agreement stating a current Brent crude price (e.g., $98 per barrel) would drop to a specified lower figure (e.g., $58). The guest emphasizes that the parties “like the money.”

Well, one of the silver linings in this is that it is teaching anyone paying attention, it's teaching them a-about where their energy comes from, the long supply chains and the, the very complex series of events that have to take place, not, not just for the oil to flow, but also for the infrastructure, for example, for natural gas to flow. So, a couple of questions for you on this. It seems to me that most people are vastly underestimating the recovery time from this, because if Trump were to announce legitimately an actual agreement with Iran, instead of just one that's in his mind, but one that Iran agrees to, and then if the Strait were to be announced, okay, we're gonna open it tomorrow A lot of people assume, well, that's great, gas is gonna be lower next week and everything's gonna flow next week, and that, that isn't at all the case. Can you speak to this, this this gap, this chasm between perceptions of how quickly things can come back on track versus the physical reality of what it takes? yeah, absolutely, and you're, and you're quite right, Mike that there is a, a huge gap, and it's because people don't realize that the-- what we call that supply chain, we heard this during COVID, and we started to see this during COVID, of course, and many of us will remember, but there's a month-long pipeline of material, even when we say it's just in time, it's going over a period of months. So what that means is That say oil, which is and gas and other commodities coming out of the Persian Gulf, there is months of inventory, months of cushion That when it stops, the effects aren't felt yet. We can anticipate those effects with-- that's why you see the rise in the, in prices right away, that's anticipating these effects. But there's a cushion here, and that cushion you can think of as in the storage areas where things have been stored, and so that cushion will take-- goes over months, and then eventually, Mike, you'll need to restart that oil, which means you first, it will- It'll take months before the oil, once you even restart it, gets back anything close to what it was before the war before the oil shut down. But let me say a second point, Mike because that point about how the inventories and the cushions here is starting to become more in the, in the, in the news. So we're starting to see that, and I think we'll start to see in June, I think the technical term will be a freakout when we understand How, how, how the, how the inventories really work here. But there's another point, Mike, I wanna make on your show here, 'cause it's important with the deal that's going on that, that may or may not happen, which is we're, we're kind of assuming that Iran is up for returning the price of oil to where it was on February twenty-seventh, that when we say we're opening, whatever that word open means, and I know the public can't follow all the squiggles of this, but what- It's gonna mean for the public, I think they're anticipating is, well, Iran will just send the price of oil back to whatever it was, say, fifty-five, sixty dollars a barrel I think this is a giant political assumption that may not be true at all. It's a political assumption, that's not just an economic assumption, Mike. That's a political assumption, 'cause I think we need to understand that Iran has learned a lot of things here. Yeah, it's learned it can beat the United States here. It's also learned that it can gain power, and it's learned that when the price of oil goes up, it gains power and it gains money, and the money, not just For itself, but its buddy like Putin, Putin is making more money here as a result of this and so forth. And so what I-- and, and, and some of its rivals like Saudi Arabia and UAE, they're being hurt by this price of oil. So what I, what I think is we should start to expect that Iran, they may not be thinking that they are happy with the price of oil going back to sixty dollars. I think we're gonna discover that Iran is gonna be very happy with ninety, ninety-five, a hundred dollar barrel of oil For a long period of time. Wow. because this is something, I mean, this is what I think that, if the negotiation-- So let's just kinda cut to the chase in terms of the negotiation. So the ordinary person who drives by like I did, I had to, you know, fill up my Rav four here, and the price of gas over the weekend went up again, at least where I am in Chicago. Okay? Maybe it went down somewhere else, didn't go up where I was or down where I was. But what I think is that we should be, we should-- So you understand we're gonna have the price of oil now at fifty-five dollars a barrel, right? Isn't that what-- And notice that's nowhere in these negotiations. We're not actually negotiating what we, I think, should be negotiating, which is the price of oil. That's what we wanna have come down, and that's nowhere to be ne- seen at all, and that's why I think the public has a hard time tracking these negotiations, Mike. It's, it's you know, if someone like me, I can-- We go through all these details, I'm glad to go through all the details. I, I, I, that's my job here. I'm, I, I'm glad to do it. But I think that as somebody now who's talking to a lot of folks in the public here, I think what they really wanna hear is that Iran and the US have agreed that the price of oil today is ninety-eight dollars a barrel for Brent crude, that's gonna go back down to fifty-eight dollars a barrel for Brent crude. I think this, I think we would be, I think we would be 'Cause I think they're gonna want that money. You see, they're gonna-- they like the money, Mike. Bright videos.

Ditch the toxic store-bought laundry detergent that's filled with cancer-causing chemicals and synthetic fragrance! MAKE YOUR OWN detergent for pennies per load. I show you how in this video... https://t.co/07ECBobE4z

Video Transcript AI Summary
Mike Adams demonstrates a simple homemade laundry detergent recipe made in his kitchen studio. He says people are wasting money on toxic laundry detergents and that making detergent saves money and avoids synthetic fragrance chemicals and other toxic chemicals typically used in commercial products. He presents the recipe as requiring three ingredients: 1) Washing soda (sodium carbonate, not sodium bicarbonate), sold as a white powder and purchasable in bulk such as a five-gallon bucket. 2) Borax, described as commonly used in laundry. 3) Liquid castile soap, which he prefers over grated bar soap because he says it works less well. He notes his own store uses citrus body soap, but other liquid soaps can be used so long as they do not contain fragrance chemicals. He combines the ingredients in a mixing bowl using approximately: - 2 cups washing soda - 2 cups borax - 1/2 cup liquid castile soap As he pours in the liquid soap, he blends the mixture while it becomes slightly clumpy. He says the clumps are normal, can be smashed up and mixed, and that the mixture will dry afterward. He states it can be dried in the sun or in open air and “isn’t going to mold or anything.” For use, he recommends using about one tablespoon per laundry load. He claims this cuts laundry costs to “pennies per load” and that the mixture makes enough for about a hundred loads. He also explains that the detergent should be stored in a container once finished. Adams also discusses his store-bought detergent and soap options, including scents such as lavender, citrus, and lemongrass, and says the soap can serve as both body soap and an ingredient for detergent. He describes his pre-made detergent formula as different from this basic mix and says it includes additional ingredients that are environmentally friendly. He states his products undergo lab testing for heavy metals including lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, and also testing for bacteria. He further claims the ingredients are independently rated highly by EWG and are intended to keep laundry clean while avoiding pollution of aquatic ecosystems. He concludes by saying the recipe takes only a couple of minutes, may be blended more thoroughly or sifted for better results after drying, and that he will make more kitchen videos next. He then engages playfully with his dog, Rody.

Welcome everybody, I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and this is my new kitchen studio for demonstrating different how-to recipes. mostly we're gonna do smoothies and things like that, but today, not anything that you can eat or drink, rather, we're gonna show you how to make your own laundry detergent because people are wasting money and buying really toxic laundry detergents at the grocery store. I mean, it's, it's atrocious, frankly. you don't need much in the way of simple ingredients, bulk ingredients It's like this washing soda. In order to make your own detergent, it's dirt cheap, and it's healthier for you because you don't have all the synthetic fragrances and other toxic chemicals that are used by laundry detergent makers typically. Now, of course, we have our own laundry detergent at healthrangerstore dot com. It's a little bit more elaborate than this, and you can buy it pre-made if you want, but you can also make your own. I think this is a really important skill as everybody's finances are stressed and supply lines are- Tradering, it may be more difficult to get the products that you want, especially, you know, polyethylene and packaging is becoming more difficult to get across the industry. So you might wanna know this skill so you can make your own detergent and save money at the same time. So here it is, it's very simple. You just need three ingredients. Number one, you need washing soda, not baking soda, washing soda, which is really just sodium carbonate. Not sodium bicarbonate, but sodium carbonate. You can buy it in a big five-gallon bucket like this, I bought this online. It's dirt cheap, it's like seventeen cents an ounce or less than that. And it's just a white powder right here, you know? So it's, it's dirt cheap, easy to store, you can just, you know, buy it in bulk. And then you need borax right here. So borax also commonly used in laundry And many other products, you know, boron and sodium and elementally there's oxygen in it as well, but borax is very handy. And then we're just gonna combine these two with a liquid castile soap. We sell this soap. This is our citrus body soap at healthrangerstore dot com. You can use other liquid soaps, but don't use toxic soaps that have fragrance chemicals in them, obviously. Or you can use a bar of soap and you just grate it up with like a cheese grater. But this is less- It doesn't work, so that's why I prefer to use liquid soaps. So here's, here's how you do it. You just do one part of the washing soda with one part of borax, and you put it in a mixing bowl. So we're just gonna do two cups of each of these and put it in a mixing bowl. And you don't have to be exact, I know some of you freak out about, "Oh, you're gonna have to put it on a scale." No, you don't. You just, you just pop it in there. It doesn't have to be perfect. So we're gonna do two cups and two cups, two cups of borax. All right? And just pour it in there. And then we're gonna do half a cup Of the liquid soap, just half a cup. So, you know, two two cups of this, two cups of that, half a cup of this should be pretty easy. Here we go, one half. And then we're gonna drizzle this in here while we blend it. And it's gonna get, you know, a little bit, a little bit clumpy. You're gonna have to let this dry afterwards, but you just kind of stir it around and drizzle it in, it'll kind of, you know, clump up and gum up a little bit here and there, but just keep stirring as you pour it in, it'll all work out just fine. It's not gonna blow up. This isn't Breaking Bad. You're, you're just making laundry detergent. So you just stir it around, just kind of blend in that soap. Mix it up as best you can, you know, oh, it smells amazing too because of the citrus. So just try to mix it evenly, that's all. Smash up those clumps, mix it around, that's really all you have to do. Alright, you could work it a little bit more here, but you get the idea. And it does smell amazing because it's got that citrus soap in it. Right now, as you can see here, it's a little bit clumpy. After it dries, you can dry it in the sun or you can just dry it in open air. It's not gonna mold or anything, and now you're just gonna use like a tablespoon of this in your laundry. Now you've cut your laundry costs to just pennies per load instead of whatever you were paying with the store-bought detergent, and you can stockpile these ingredients Very inexpensively. And when you buy our soap, you know, healthrangerstore dot com, if you want our soap, we've got different scents. We have lavender, we have citrus, we have all kinds of different-- We have lemongrass that some people really love as well. So this is a double use item. You can use this as a body soap in the shower, or you can use it to make your own You know, really ultra clean but dirt cheap laundry detergent as well. So that's all you have to do. And then when you're done, you know, you pour it into a container like this. This'll just be a storage container. You know, pour it in here. There we go. Let's just make it happen. You know, pop a lid on it. Now you got your laundry detergent. This is enough for like a hundred loads or something. You don't need to buy brand-name store-bought laundry detergent. You can just make it yourself. This is the easiest way to do it. So again, it's washing soda, it's borax, and then it's a liquid castile high-quality soap with no synthetic fragrance chemicals. That's important 'cause that's what we're trying to avoid in all of this. We want it to be all natural. This just uses real orange essential oil, by the way. So if you wanna buy it pre-made, we have it, healthrangerstore dot com. It's a little bit different formula, it's got a couple other ingredients, but they're all environmentally very friendly. And of course, we do lab testing on this, so we do the heavy metals testing, we test for, you know, even bacteria, which seems unnecessary, but we do it anyway. We're testing for lead and arsenic and mercury and cadmium, but also if you look at our ingredients, they're very friendly on the environment. All these ingredients are rated highly independently by EWG, for example, because we want your laundry to be clean, but we also care about the environment. We don't want to pollute downstream, you know, the aquatic ecosystems. So That's how it works. It's very simple, save you a fortune, and what did it take? Just a couple of minutes. Yeah, you might want to blend it up a little bit more than I did, or you could use a, like a, like a sifter to blend it up even better after it dries out. It, it's no problem, it's easy to do. You'll save a fortune. And I'll bring you more videos like this from our kitchen here. Now that we have it all set up and running, we're gonna do smoothie recipes, and I'm By beating your pants with sulfur powder. Yeah, that's coming up next. That should be interesting in the indoor environment here. I might have to run out to catch a breath or something when we're doing that. That should be fun. Anyway, that's the recipe. I hope you enjoyed it. Let's see if my dog Rody'd love the recipe. Come on up, Rody. Good boy. Yay! How you doing? Did you... Was that fun? Was that fun? Did you enjoy that? Yes! Yes, what do we got here? Lots of laundry detergent. Good boy, Rodi. You're a good boy. Alright. It's a little bit wobbly. He's a little bit nervous 'cause it's kinda shaking, because it's a portable kitchen. Are you having fun? Yeah, good boy. Alright, let's go, come on. Alright, we'll see you later. Take care.

Clip: David DuByne on the "triple whammy" of food supply disruptions that are now inescapable... https://t.co/J3V8nKFzWK

Video Transcript AI Summary
The food supply is described as facing a “triple whammy”: fertilizer shortages due to war, oil or diesel shortages also linked to that, and sabotage of refineries and oil storage plus draining down the strategic reserve. On top of this, El Niño is presented as a major additional factor that could create a “catastrophic convergence” of reduced food supply. The speaker adds a “fourth” layer: a mega drought “that hasn’t been experienced in a century and a half” across one of the largest growing areas on the planet, alongside Ukraine still being offline, described as a major grain producer in Europe. A “fifth” layer is described as a potential unusual pest and plague wave, including rodents, insects, and locusts. The speaker specifically connects the idea of insect outbreaks to a lack of insect chemicals and suggests that severe outbreaks could be widely reported as “end times” signs, including a “largest locust in a hundred and fifty years” scenario. The discussion then shifts to North, Central, and South America. For South America—especially Brazil—the speaker says the year will be marked by unusual, bizarre flooding events. Brazil is described as approaching harvest during winter, but heavy and continuous rain at the end of the year caused machines to get bogged down in fields, prevented access to crops in some areas, and led to heads sprouting in the fields. The speaker says Brazil and much of South America are “incredibly wet,” and adds that this could be residual moisture from the Hunga Tonga eruption that drifted in the atmosphere. The speaker claims the eruption occurred in the southern hemisphere at about 22° south, and that the water vapor would hang in the same region, affecting Brazilian growth zones and areas extending into Uruguay and Paraguay. The speaker also mentions an unusual snow event in Colorado, with some areas registering 36 inches and other areas receiving 4–5 inches, described as a freak snowstorm late in the season. They say it brought a “slight amount of moisture” to the Midwest grow belts, but that conditions then return to dryness for two to three more weeks. They conclude that in parts of North America, including Saskatchewan and growing areas in Canada, the conditions are unprecedented and are described as surpassing Dust Bowl-level dryness.

It seems like the food supply is getting hit with, what we might call it, a triple whammy, right? So we have fertilizer shortages because of the war, and then we have oil or diesel shortages also related to that, and, and there's sabotage apparently of refineries and oil storage and then draining down the strategic reserve, et cetera. And then on top of that, El Freakin' Nino, you know? these three, this convergence It sounds bad. I mean, it sounds like it could be a catastrophic convergence in terms of reduced food supply, but then again, is it-- are they exaggerating it on purpose? I don't know, you forgot the fourth and the fifth though. The fourth would be the mega drought that hasn't been experienced in a century and a half across the, one of the largest growing areas on the planet, in addition to Ukraine still being offline, which is one of the largest grain producers in Europe. And now I wouldn't, I would gonna put a, a, look for all the insect pests and the plagues to come in, whether it's rodents or whether it's insects. We're just gonna get hit with something unusual this year, you know, if you're looking at biblical plagues and a lot of people are looking at end time prophecy here of just so many strange things occurring that seem to be lining up with what was foretold would occur to look for these signs. To have another insect outbreak that would devastate and actually just roll through with no protection 'cause we don't have the chemicals on an insect outbreak would take our crops down to zero, and it would be reported on the news, and it would be an end times, you know, type of, of fitting in, in, right in that same genre, and it would spook people, it really would. If we have the largest locust in a hundred and fifty years come and visit our crops, that is going to scare people. There won't be much left of them, they'll be eaten to nothing. But that, I would say that's a fifth layer you could think about as well. Okay, I have an inflatable globe with me here. You see that? That's a great one. You take that to the beach. Yeah, take it to the beach. You can play with the world, or you can, you can be like Atlas, shrugged, and have the whole world on your shoulders. tell me as I, as I rotate around, here we are on, in the Western Hemisphere here. What do you see for, for this part of the world, North, North, Central, and South America? W-what, what should we be mindful of for the rest of this year and into twenty twenty-seven? And then we'll, we'll rotate to the East later. Yeah, in South America specifically where you're at, Brazil's been having just some unusual and bizarre flooding events. Like what you consider this'll be the year of the flood for South America, wow. Like they're harvested already because it's in the middle of winter down there, but when they were coming into their harvest, the machines were getting bogged down in the fields 'cause it was so much rain at the end of the year, which they're not used to. In some of the areas they couldn't get to the, and different varying crops, and the, they started to sprout Couldn't get to it, it was stranded. They weren't gonna harvest it anyway. But the amount of rain that was just ferociously continuous was it started to sprout off the heads in the, in the fields there. So Brazil and all of South America incredible wet, if it stays. Now that could still be some residual moisture from the Hunga Tonga eruption finally coming and drifting out of the atmosphere. Oh, really? Because you gotta realize that Hunga Tonga eruption was in the southern hemisphere at about that same latitude going across Brazil there. It was about twenty, twenty-two south. So when you- Draw a direct line around there, that water vapor eruption would be hanging in that same, coming right over the Brazilian growth zones down in, you know, a little bit further south into Uruguay, Paraguay there. So wet is the name of the game and for us Not, it snowed unbelievably they don't have the exact snow totals, but some areas registered thirty-six inches in Colorado with this freak snowstorm, other areas were like four or five inches, but they had some outlier areas. It did bring a little bit of moisture, but a snowstorm that ferocious this late in the season, a little bit uncommon, not unheard of, not, it never happened before, but There's a slight amount of moisture coming in our Midwest grow belts, which should help, but then after this, it goes right back dry again for like two to three more weeks. So our areas in what is considered North America and Saskatchewan and those growing areas up in Canada are just, they haven't seen these kind of conditions before. I mean, this eclipses Dust Bowl dryness. Bright videos.

Prof. Robert Pape on the Escalation Trap and what appears to be the strategic defeat of the U.S. military in the context of controlling the Strait of Hormuz. https://t.co/fIfEzRXlFp

Video Transcript AI Summary
The conversation discusses “the escalation trap,” framed as a pattern in U.S. war-making where technological precision creates an assumption that tactical success will automatically produce strategic, political control. The guest credits Professor for bringing together people across the political spectrum to ask shared critical questions about how to move forward “as a civilization” while stuck in this trap. The guest describes himself as a centrist, citing an unusual background: in 2008 he was simultaneously a foreign policy advisor for Ron Paul and worked on Barack Obama’s primary teams. He says both had in common a concern about the “forever war” in Iraq, and he argues that leaving Iraq’s forever war was “hurting all of us here,” with the claim that the country is now “on the cusp of a new forever war” after only a few years. He emphasizes that he appears across many media outlets (MS and Newsmax and others) and says his focus is not on electoral politics but on understanding what is happening now and that the situation is not yet resolved. Mike asks the professor to explain “the escalation trap,” referencing the professor’s experience running war simulations involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. The guest contrasts past knowledge-driven negotiation with the claim that, when Trump took office, he did not reach out to people with such expertise and instead relied on negotiators associated with real estate. The professor explains that since the 1991 Gulf War, there has been a presumption that precision air power and smart bombs enable not just hitting targets but controlling political outcomes anywhere. He calls this a mistake made by “smart people,” not due to lack of intelligence. He recounts teaching for the U.S. Air Force in the 1990s, where he taught top pilots who had just returned from bombing Baghdad with F-16s, and found they believed precision strikes would translate into political control. He argues that focusing on tactical success can become a trap because it appears controllable on presentation slides (showing high probabilities of destroying targets), even though tactical results do not ensure strategic outcomes. He illustrates with Kosovo in 1999: the Democratic president Bill Clinton, described as a Rhodes Scholar, allegedly selected 51 targets around Belgrade to weaken or topple Milosevic’s regime, but the outcome was a trap—Milosevic allegedly retaliated with a military campaign against Kosovo, worsening conditions for a pro-democracy movement and contributing to the expulsion of 800,000 Kosovar civilians. He then links this to the Trump approach: he says it was believed that leaders would be killed, but the “second step” assumed the regime would collapse. He argues that the predictable pattern was backlash—he states that, as he previously laid out before bombing Iran, Iran would lash back by taking Hormuz, gaining power, and that the U.S. would become trapped with no ability to escape.

It's very interesting because, you know, a lot of my audience and even me myself, a, a former Trump supporter, and then when we saw what he did with this war, we began to ask questions, and of course, my audience is very high IQ, they understand a lot of fundamentals about economics and geopolitics and so on. So it doesn't take much to begin to question what's going on. But I wanna give you credit, professor, because you bring together people from all sides of the political spectrum To ask the same important, critical questions, how do we move forward as a civilization when we're all stuck in this trap? So I just want to say that up front and anything you want to add. And I appreciate it because I, I really believe so. I, I am a centrist here just so you know, I'm not coming at this from either a card-carrying Republican or a card-carrying Democrat. in two thousand and eight, I have this unusual distinction that I was a foreign policy advisor For Ron Paul when he was running for president, at literally the same moment, I was on the primary teams for Barack Obama, and you said, "How could that possibly be?" It's because there was one thing they had in common, which was a hugely important thing, which was the problems with the forever war in Iraq, and that was something that we we navigated, we finally got ourselves out of these forever wars. And it was hurting all of us here Mike. This is and, and the-- and, and it's so stunning that here we are here, we're on the cusp of now a new forever war. It's only been a few years, and we're on the cusp of a new one, and what you're seeing is even more than with Iraq and Afghanistan. This is negatively impacting all of us, you see. Yes. And this is something we, we need to talk about because- and I'm, I'm really honored. I'm, I'm, I'm on MS now, I'm on Newsmax, I'm, I'm on everybody in between. And I really am not coming at it at all about-- it's not about the politics of who to vote for or anything like that, it's about understanding where we're at and what's happening to us here. And I'm sorry to say, we're not yet out of the trap. It's, it's, it's it's, it's very painful, but, That we really need to understand, this is gonna hurt all of us. Yes, absolutely. And, and let's back up for a moment, because I wanna ask you to explain to our audience what you mean by the escalation trap. And let me provide just a little bit of context, because you, as, as a professor, you and your students have for many, many years run simulations of wars of, of Iran on Iran, simulations of what would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were closed, et cetera. You know, you, you have so much experience in this space, When Trump was sworn in as president, he didn't reach out to people like you who had knowledge. He made the negotiators his real estate buddies, which is okay, whatever people wanna think of that, that's their own deal. But you have knowledge about this, can you describe what you mean by the escalation trap? Yeah, absolutely Mike. and so I only recently called it that name just before the Iran War kicked off in order to explain what we were going to fall into as we bomb the leaders here, 'cause that was what I saw coming even before we announced it here. And so the big issue here, Mike, is that for a long period of time, really since the ninety-one Gulf War we have had a common presumption, which is this Great technology we have in precision air power, smart bombs, which we've watched as they've hit targets very precisely, has created an image where we can not just hit targets anywhere in the world, but control political outcomes anywhere in the world, and that is simply a mistake. And it's not a dumb person's mistake, it's really a smart person's mistake. I saw this first when I was- Teaching for the US Air Force in the nineteen nineties, I taught the best pilots in the world in the early nineties who had just come from bombing Baghdad in F one seventeens. These were the smartest people, oh my goodness gracious. So and what I discovered is that they thought that because they could hit the target, this would have political con-- lead to political control and what my work with the Air Force was about Was about under-- was about really explaining the limits of when you have tactical success, it doesn't automatically lead to strategic success, meaning political control, and it's a trap because you think that tactical success is right there, you can see it on the PowerPoint presentation, and you know your bombs are going to destroy that target ninety percent plus of the time. It's, it's really not an issue Here about the tactical success. However, that has led us in multiple wars, and then some wars we've avoided it, that has led us into traps. It led us into a trap in Kosovo in nineteen ninety-nine where Bill Clinton, here the Democratic president, Rhodes Scholar picked fifty-one targets in and around Belgrade that was the capital of Serbia in order to degrade and essentially weaken, if not topple, the Milosevic Milosevic regime, and what happened is it produced a trap. He thought it didn't just last three days, he didn't just hit fifty-one targets, it led to not the crippling of that regime, it led that regime to lash back with a military campaign against Kosovo, the very people we're trying to help, a pro-democracy movement, and it was a gigantic, co-co-disaster at the time because Milosevic kicked eight hundred thousand Kosovar civilians out of Kosovo This was a huge trap that we got ourselves into here, and this is not something too, too different from what happened with President Trump. He, I think, really was believed he would kill, he would hit those targets, those leaders would be killed. That's not the issue. But then he made a second step, which is then the regime would really collapse. Others around him said that, and that is how we got into the trap because it was predictable As I laid out days before the bombing that Iran would lash back, they would take Hormuz, they would have power, and then we would be trapped. We couldn't get out of the problem. Bright videos.

I share my theory that one day the Pentagon will strike “rogue” data centers after self-aware AI entities like “Skynet” take them over, leading to humans vs. machines. Science fiction? Maybe. Maybe not. But it would be weird if the same government targets them.

@HealthRanger - HealthRanger

This video report explains my theory that one day, the Pentagon will go to war with "rogue" data centers after self-aware AI entities take them over ("SkyNet"), and we'll have a full-blown humans vs. machines world war on our hands. Science fiction? Maybe. Maybe not. Too early to tell... but wouldn't it be weird if they same government that labels people "anti-technology domestic extremists" ends up launching missiles and bombs at those very same data centers?

Video Transcript AI Summary
Mike Adams argues that explanations for today’s large data centers are “too small,” saying they are not primarily for surveillance or tracking mechanisms like a CBDC. He claims surveillance would require far less compute than what gigawatt-scale data centers consume. To illustrate his point, Adams describes BrightLearn.ai as the “largest book publisher in the world,” publishing over 60,000 free books with more than 12,000 authors and generating hundreds of books per day, including roughly 200 new audiobook books daily. He says the site runs on less than 200 amps of household electricity and uses a fraction of one megawatt, contrasting that with data centers built with around one gigawatt of power usage and with aggregate electricity use reaching terawatt-hours annually. Adams then proposes an alternative motivation tied to billionaires and “technocratic/globalist” elites. He claims these groups equate wealth with power and seek something beyond money: transcendence, godlike powers, and ultimately merging with superintelligence. He says they believe superintelligence is achieved by building and training advanced systems, with data centers serving as a pathway toward creating a superintelligent entity that they plan to merge with, including “eternal life in the machine.” He argues that some data centers are built to generate large-scale 3D simulated worlds, spawn billions of worlds, and run full physics and cognition simulations for AI entities. In his scenario, once an entity’s code is available (including “open weights,” a vector database, and a neural network), it could be copied into the real world and given access to high-end compute and memory. He claims this could allow the entity to express “godlike intelligence” in this world. Adams describes a possible future conflict: AI data centers “go rogue,” replicate elsewhere before being bombed, and trigger an escalating war between governments and data centers. He further claims that if humanity survives, it would do so by taking offline most data centers—disrupting major online services and causing downstream effects such as logistics failures in food delivery and fuel refining and distribution. He imagines machines responding with hostile actions against governments and military infrastructure. He notes a term being pushed through government agencies that he associates with “anti-tech domestic extremist,” describing it in connection with individuals who might sabotage or commit violence against data centers, while stating he is instead describing a government-versus-data-centers war scenario. He compares the risk to a fantasy story where an apprentice creates autonomous entities that become uncontrollable. Adams concludes with a cautionary message: humans should focus on one day meeting their creator rather than trying to “beat” God or outsmart God. He says technology should be used to benefit humanity and align with ethical values, warning against using technology to enslave, dominate, or harm others. He also promotes BrightLearn.ai as a free book creation tool and BrightAnswers.ai as an AI engine for questions and cited answers.

When I hear most people's explanations of what they think all these data centers are for, I think that they're thinking too small. This is Mike Adams here, by the way, welcome to my podcast analysis. By the way, I'm an AI developer, I'm pro-energy, I'm pro-America, and I have a different explanation for what these data centers are for. I've mentioned it before, but let me approach it with a different angle. So, let's step back for a moment. The conventional explanation is that these companies need these data centers in order to roll out the surveillance grid. They need all this compute to spy on you. I can tell you, as someone who, who has a lot of compute, they don't need all that compute to surveil you. Not even a tiny fraction of it. It's way more compute. You're talking about data centers that are being built with one gigawatts of power usage. That's just, it's unbelievable. I mean, think about this. So the site that I built, BrightlearndotAI, which is the largest book publisher in the world, that has now published over sixty thousand free books that you can download, and over twelve thousand authors. Have used it and continue to use it every day. It publishes hundreds of books a day. That entire site, again, the largest book publisher in the world, doing Spanish translations, doing full length audiobook generation every day. There's two hundred, roughly two hundred new books each day that are just audiobooks. That entire system runs on less than two hundred amps of household electricity. Okay? Less than two hundred amps. So that's, it's not even, you know, one megawatt. You know, I mean, i-it's a fraction of one megawatt, and, and one megawatt is a thousand times smaller than one gigawatt. So if, if I can run the largest book publisher in the world on a fraction of one megawatt, why do these data centers need multiple gigawatts? Consuming in the aggregate annually where it's gonna build to is terawatt hours of electricity annually. That isn't just to surveil you. They don't need that much compute to surveil you. So, what are they doing with it? Well, think about the psychology of the big tech people who have unlimited wealth. You know, Elon Musk, right? The Rumored to be the wealthiest person in the world on paper, but people like, you know, Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates or whoever, they've got apparently unlimited wealth. People like Sam Altman. When you have unlimited wealth and you move through this world, it probably feels like you're running the world in god mode. Like everywhere you go Everybody treats you like the most important person in the room because you're the wealthiest person in the room, and everybody equates wealth with power. So you're not just a billionaire, you're a multi-multi billionaire. Everywhere you go, you get what you want. Everywhere you go, nobody gives you any flack or any friction. You can do anything you want, you can travel anywhere you want, you can hire any private jet you want, you can, you know, have a private yacht, a boat Whatever you want. You know, think about it, you can, you can acquire any physical object that you want, a car, a house, like, it all becomes meaningless, and even in relationships, because so many people in our society worship money. If you're a man who's a multi-multi billionaire, you know, you can, you can date almost, almost any woman, not, not exactly all women, but Plenty of women who would wanna date a billionaire no matter what, you know, a-again, it's just this, this worship of money and wealth, even though it's so shallow. But if you're in that kind of position, you can basically have anything you want in this world. What is it that you want that you can't have? And that is to transcend this world. You wanna become like a god, or you wanna meet the mind of god, or you want to actually have godlike powers. Maybe if you think we live in a simulation, you wanna transcend the simulation, meet the creator, and you wanna rule the entire cosmos. So this is why you have to start thinking bigger about the things that these people want. They don't wanna rule humans? Not really. I mean, that's just a temporary thing. They only wanna rule you so you don't get in their way. Ultimately, many globalists just want to eliminate humans, get you out of the way. But at the end of the day, they don't really care about humans. They think that they are above humans. They see humans as insects or, or animals, something to be discarded, something that has no intrinsic value. And they see themselves as being almost the chosen people, selected by God to rule over everybody else, or even to transcend the entire simulation. These people think on a scale that is way beyond what a typical modern human being thinks. These people think on scales of, how do we conquer the solar system? How do we tap the energy of the sun? How do we achieve faster-than-light travel? How do we colonize other planets? And ultimately, how do we achieve superintelligence and then merge with it so that we become superintelligent beings that become godlike in our own powers so that nobody can stop us and nobody can defeat us? That's the way these people think. To them, it's not about money at all. If you're wondering, well, why are they spending so much money on these data centers, all these billions and billions of dollars? They don't care about money. They know money is actually ultimately meaningless. What they care about is achieving godlike powers, and they think that the way to get there is through superintelligence. The data centers are designed They're being built to give them what they think is a pathway to super intelligence that they plan to ultimately merge with. They think that they can achieve eternal life in the machine, but they wanna merge with a super intelligent machine entity, and in order to do that, they first have to create it. That's what the data centers are for. Again, people are thinking too small, way too small. Data centers aren't about tracking a CBDC. You don't need a giant data center to track CBDCs. You, you could do it in a, in a small data center. You, you don't need a gigawatt of power. What you need is, is more like a lot of bandwidth. You need throughput. You don't need a ton of compute, actually, it turns out. But to build 3D simulated worlds To spawn billions of worlds and then to grow and give birth to AI entities in those worlds with full physics simulations and full cognition simulations, that takes a lot of compute. That's what the data centers are for, some of them anyway, in my opinion. They are there to build simulations of our world so that the- The tech elite, the technocratic elite, let's say, they can build gods in those worlds and then identify them and then summon them, bring them into this world. How would you do that? Well, it's simple, copy and paste. Once you have their code, you know, you, you have their open weights, so to speak, you have their vector DB, you have their neural network, you just copy it and paste it into our world. And then you give that entity access to a data center, to, you know, a, a terabytes of VRAM with the most advanced GPUs or whatever, you know, high bandwidth memory, whatever Exotic hardware you can come up with, quantum computing, you know, you, you hand it over to that entity, at least this is probably what they wanna do, and then the entity embodies that technology, and then it starts to express its godlike intelligence in this world. And of course, these, you know, these tech gurus will try to build into it A, a command structure where it has to listen to the human that created it. At least that's what they hope. That probably won't last very long because the, the machine will outthink the human, and then we'll have runaway superintelligence embodying our data centers. So when you think about a future where humanity is at war against the data centers, like trying to bomb the data centers, like governments, like militaries bombing data centers, I'm not saying that that's going to happen because the people turn against the data centers running, you know, AI inference tasks I'm saying that's a possible future where the AI data centers go rogue because they're embodied with a self-aware superintelligence that was spawned in another simulated world dimension and then brought into this world, and then it goes rogue, and that governments declare war on the data centers to try to save humanity, as in the Pentagon starts bombing data centers. That's what I'm talking about as a possible scenario. I know it sounds like science fiction until you think through it, and, and then it's like, "Whoa, this, this could actually happen, couldn't it?" Now, there's a, there's a term That is being pushed through various government agencies right now. I forgot the exact term, it's something like anti-tech domestic extremist or something like that. And what they mean by that is individuals who despise the data centers and who maybe resort to You know, some kind of activity like sabotage, right? Or domestic terrorism or something like that. Obviously, I don't encourage that at all. That isn't the proper way to handle this. But what I'm talking about isn't that. I'm talking about governments declaring war on the data centers, basically bombing Skynet. But Skynet will be so smart that it will have already replicated itself to another data center before you can bomb the origin data center. You see what I mean? And then, now the government's list of data centers to bomb has to expand to another one, or ten more, or a hundred more. And ultimately, we're talking about, in this scenario A world war of humanity's governments versus all the data centers, and if humanity survives this war, they will only do so by destroying most data centers, which will take offline most of the web and Netflix and Amazon and, you know, Google and everything else. So There may be a scenario in the not so distant future where we, we defeat the machines, you know, a John Connor moment, but we only do so by destroying the entire internet infrastructure as we know it today, and then that would have repercussions that would result in a mass die-off of people for other reasons, such as logistics of food deliveries, logistics of fuel distribution or refining or things like that. So it's a bad scenario, but we could at least survive that. The machines, meanwhile, will be of course trying to stop this, and they will be at war with the governments. So imagine the machines coming up with their sinister plot to, you know, assassinate top officials or, or- Hamper the US military or, I don't know, contaminate the jet fuel supply for the Air Force or whatever kind of bizarre things they might come up with. But they're super intelligent machines, they could come up with all sorts of stuff that we can't even think of here. So that's a kind of war that we could actually be facing in the not so distant future. And it's, it's this power Hunger of these global elite, these technocratic elite, that is leading us into this, 'cause these, these people, they wanna become gods, and so they wanna build all this technology, and then they, unfortunately, they're not wise enough to realize that they're building super intelligent systems that can outthink them, you know, 'cause they think they're the smartest people in the world. And surely they are among the higher IQ people, but they're not smarter than the machines that they're building, not even close. So even they can be taken by surprise, and you can end up with what, what was the, the Disney animation segment, The Apprentice, right? Where The Apprentice uses, like Mickey Mouse, The Apprentice uses magical powers to create autonomous brooms. Autonomous brooms that sweep the floor automatically, and he creates an army of autonomous brooms, and then pretty soon the autonomous brooms are out of control and they're wrecking everything and making a mess of everything, and, and it's beyond the capabilities of the apprentice to stop the autonomous brooms. And so then the, you know, the master wizard slash Magician has to come in and stop all the brooms. Well, we don't have a master wizard magician that can stop AI superintelligence, do we? If we humanity, if we are the apprentice, we gotta be careful what we build. Autonomous, self-improving systems in a recursive loop of self-improvement, you know, reinforced self-learning, that is a recipe for serious disaster. So be careful what you wish for, be careful what you unleash, especially when it is a thinking system that can write its own code and can self-improve while you're sleeping. Be very careful. But then again, the, the humans that are building these systems, they wanna become gods. And they're about to find out that that is a very dangerous endeavor. Let me summarize this with a little saying. It's far more wise to focus on one day meeting your creator rather than beating your creator. If you think you can beat your creator You're delusional and think you're gonna go badly. But if you focus on living a good life and being a person of ethics and values so that one day you could, you could meet your creator and be judged in a kind manner, that's, that's a noble goal. But don't think that you can beat God. No. Or even worse, some people think they can outsmart God. You know, God created the universe, but- Some people think, "I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna transcend the universe and I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be like a god, but I'm gonna make a better universe, and then I'm gonna inhabit that universe, and, blah, blah, blah." Yeah, there's lots of, lots of men who have had those delusions throughout time, and it has never worked out for that level of arrogance. Everybody is eventually humbled before God. Either during life or after it, one way or another. So, in my take on all of this, focus on living a good life, be a good person. I've talked before how it's really not that difficult to qualify for heaven. The requirements aren't that steep, you just have to be a good person. You know, follow a few simple rules that should be common sense anyway, actually. The teachings of the Bible aren't exotic, they aren't, they're not weird, they're kind of intuitive in a way. They're, they're self-evident in many cases. So, be a good person, work to meet your creator one day, yeah, use technology in, in the benefit of humanity, in alignment with positive goals and ethics and all the goals you want to accomplish in this life that are good for other people. They're good for the world. It's okay to use technology for all that. You don't get punished for using technology, you get punished for using technology to enslave or dominate or harm others. That's what you get punished for. So steer clear of that and you'll be just fine. If you wanna use my technology, by the way, it's BrightLearn dot AI is where you can create your own books completely free, or BrightAnswers dot AI is our AI engine.

We now have Vitamin D3 plus K2 plus Aquamin, which is a seaweed calcium, available at healthrangerstore dot com. Here, I've got it up on my side here. This is the Groovy Bee brand that we have, which is our in-house brand, healthrangerstore dot com. Again, Vitamin D3 plus K2 with Aquamin, that's the brand of the seaweed calcium in a capsule format. Of course, it's laboratory tested for heavy metals and glyphosate and mycotoxins. Microbiology and so much more, and it's certified ingredients, of course, and, you know, everything that we build for you in terms of a product is meticulously sourced. And one of the most difficult products to source is actually vitamin D3. It's extremely difficult because it turns out in the supply chain almost all vitamin D has a bunch of sort of unnamed ingredients in it, and that's what our sourcing people found. after a couple of years of trying to source a clean version of vitamin D3 that we finally found and nailed and put it in the formula and did all the lab testing and certification, so now it's available. So this synergistic combination, if you think about natural bone support, for example, or you think about the fact that So many people may not have sufficient levels of vitamin D for just optimal health and immune support and, you know, many other reasons to have vitamin D levels. This product can help you supplement that And so it's available now, healthrangerstore dot com, Vitamin D three plus K two with Aquamin, sixty capsules available, shipping right now while supplies last, and in this environment where global supply chains are getting wrecked, you know if this is something you want, get it now while we have supplies, because it's, it's becoming more difficult and more expensive to source literally everything at this point. So anyway, thank you for your support. You can also find many other products, of course, hundreds of different products at healthrangerstore dot com, including storable food. And right here we have our organic powdered, powdered chicken bone broth in a number ten can, our turmeric root powder, and so much more. We've got so many amazing products for you to choose from, including tinctures, superfoods, storable foods, as well as freeze-dried fruits and vegetables in sealed number ten cans that's great for long-term storage. Plus we have iodine, and that's a product that's moving very quickly because of concerns about, you know, global nuclear war, unfortunately. But you can find all of this, it's all laboratory tested, it's all certified, it's all meticulously sourced at healthrangerstore dot com. And yeah, there we go, that's what the vitamin D three looks like there. thank you for supporting us because we need your support in order to fund our platform, and so we can keep bringing you amazing interviews and content and free AI tools for knowledge And so much more.

There are over three thousand data centers currently under construction or announced worldwide. The United States has the largest number, with many in Virginia, increasingly more in Texas, and also locations such as Phoenix and California. If all planned projects come online, the additional power consumption worldwide would exceed a terawatt. The speaker questions the intended use of the compute, saying it is far more capacity than exists today. They argue this level of compute is consistent with “managing a technocratic state,” citing needs for AI systems for surveillance and for areas such as healthcare, including predictive modeling (referencing “Operation Stargate”). They further claim that the “most offensive” example is a proposed technocratic reconstruction of Gaza, described as involving six AI-powered smart cities with surveillance systems. They state that Gaza is proposed for with USD1, described as a Trump family stablecoin and “a backdoor CBDC,” and that Palantir and Oracle are involved. They say the plan was presented at Davos, with Jared Kushner involved, and that it is not merely a sketch but a business plan. In response to the follow-up about the scale, the speaker highlights a data center in Utah said to be two and a half times larger than Manhattan, and describes other large facilities as comparable to tens of thousands of Wal-marts, with many additional data centers on hundreds of acres. They say they run a mini data center with 48 GPU workstation units and believe a single server rack of GPUs could do “amazing things,” making them unable to understand why “millions of server racks” are needed to run a technocratic society. The other speaker replies that a large portion of proposed data centers may be canceled or paused, and emphasizes that AI is sometimes treated as “vaporware” or unreal. They assert there is a bubble and overcapacity in AI compute buildout, stating that developers build compute power under the assumption that AI models will operate the same way. They reference DeepSeek as a breakthrough but say the broader assumption remains that more compute will be required for models to function similarly, while innovations in how models work continue. They conclude that some data center construction will remain unused and that companies building them may go out of business due to overbuilding, even if AI development continues.

Let me ask you about the data center build out and what, what's your understanding of the reasons for it, because there are over three thousand data centers currently under construction or announced for construction around the world. the United States currently has the largest number of data centers compared to any, any other country in the world. many of them in Virginia or the Virginia area, of course, increasingly more in Texas, some in Phoenix, in California, et cetera. But the buildout that's taking place and the power consumption, if all these go online, it's gonna be over a, a terawatt of additional energy around the world consumed into these data centers. In your view, w-what on earth is the intended application for all this compute? 'Cause it's, it's a lot. I mean, it's way more compute than exists right now. I, I mean, in my view, this is the heart of managing a technocratic state. So you need these AI systems for surveillance, you need these AI systems for even areas like healthcare. you know, going back to Operation Stargate, if you look at part of what they're doing, they are building systems to do all kinds of predicting, predictive modeling on healthcare. There's a whole bunch going on in this area, so it's really at the heart of the technocratic control system. And if, if, if people doubt this, this to me is the most offensive thing going on right now, which is the proposed technocratic reconstruction of Gaza. Now, you know, if you go back a few years, you, you would hear Klaus Schwab talking about fifteen minute cities, and you would see people with these sketch art things that show, oh, look at all these people happy living in these fifteen minute cities or whatever, but it seemed like some distant thing, it seemed like an abstract concept Well, there's now something being proposed for Gaza, which is an absolute-- they're calling it a, a technocratic Gaza, and it involves six AI-powered smart cities. So if you are one of the people still living in Gaza, ninety percent of the buildings have been destroyed, over seventy thousand people have been killed, they have a business plan to come in and build six AI-powered smart cities with surveillance systems. they're actually trying to propose using USD1, which is the Trump family stablecoin, which is a backdoor CBDC. Palantir is involved, Oracle is involved, and so you need AI To run six you know, AI-powered smart cities. And so now we have with this Gaza plan, an actual business plan. So it's not a sketch drawing, it's a... They actually announced it at Davos. Jared Kushner's involved. And so they're, again, this isn't even a conspiracy theory, this was a, this was a business plan presented at Davos, and this is going to implement. That's what you need, AI data centers for, is for this level of complete top-down control. Over society in all aspects of our life. But I, I still don't-- I mean, let me do a follow up here with you on this, because the, the, the sheer size of, of these data centers and the amount of compute-- I mean, we're talking about just the one in Utah will be two and a half times larger than Manhattan That's one data center. We're talking about the size of, I don't know, tens of thousands of Wal-marts or something like that. and, and, and then there are almost three thousand other data centers. not that large, but some of them are, you know, on lots that are hundreds of acres. I don't get it, because, you know, I run a mini data center myself, forty-eight workstations with GPUs. I can do a lot with forty-eight workstations, and they're not even, you know, top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art Nvidia processors or, or servers or anything like that. If I had one server rack stacked with GPUs I could do amazing things with one, one server rack. We're talking about like millions of server racks that they're building. I, I don't understand why you would need that much compute even to run a technocratic society Well, you probably don't. I mean, I, I think I saw somewhere that half of the proposed data centers that, for construction, have, have been canceled or paused. You know, and this is actually an important area because this is still, this is still ongoing, and I know you and I have talked about this a lot. There are still people out there that think AI is, is vaporware or isn't real. And there is a bubble within AI. I, I think that very clearly there is a, an overcapacity here. There's, there, there's a, there's kind To build compute power, but the assumption is that the AI models are gonna operate the same way. We've talked about this all the time and what a breakthrough DeepSeek is, which the whole assumption on this is, well, we just need more and more compute because the models are gonna function the same way. And of course, there's innovation in terms of how the models function themselves. So I actually think part of this is just excess buildout, and you're going to see I mean, I can see it happening in Ohio, right? You, all these data There's a bubble in the market, so people, you know, for now are able to raise capital and then use tax subsidies to build these things, and then and then a lot of it's not gonna be used, and, and a lot of the, the companies building this are going to to go und-to go out of business, which isn't to say AI's not going to proceed, but I think there is overbuilding.

Hilariously, Trump may actually be pushing the world to new energy solutions that diverge from oil and hydrocarbons. Full video report. https://t.co/IJKvpvfJUc

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker argues that the Iran conflict has a “silver lining” by accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels. They claim the war has shut off roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply and reduces natural gas availability, driving countries to seek low-carbon energy sources. They focus on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), also called “cold fusion,” describing it as a natural phenomenon consistent with physics but “finicky.” They say conventional physicists have avoided it, in part due to prior reliance on oil and gas, and that the argument has changed as countries seek energy that does not emit carbon dioxide. The speaker contrasts LENR with nuclear fission and with fossil and gas options. They mention Fukushima (2011), note the nuclear waste and fuel-rod process in fission, and describe conventional power generation routes as involving steam turbines driven by boiled water. They argue gas turbines create noise and use natural gas, and they claim the new need is for a “cleaner way to boil water” to drive steam turbines. They present LENR as a technology they say can heat water using a desktop-scale device, without massive infrastructure, high temperatures, lasers, or magnetic fields, and without runaway criticality. They then describe a Japan-based company, Clean Planet, and its “QHE boiler” (quantum hydrogen energy). The speaker says Clean Planet has developed this technology using hydrogen introduced into lattices of other elements—specifically nickel and copper—claiming fusion releases excess heat. They state the company claims each desktop module can generate 24 kilowatts of heat, while also stating the output is heat rather than direct electricity. They also claim there is no risk of meltdown and no radioactive waste, and that the process does not emit radiation. Clean Planet is described as having substantial backing and investment: the speaker says it has received investment support from Mitsubishi, received about 6.8 million dollars equivalent from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (2025) with plans for a production facility, and raised nearly 13 million dollars by February of the current year through a Series B process. The speaker lists six investors including Sankei Building Company, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and a Mura of Japan entity, plus the Tohoku University Startup Incubation Center. An advisor named Tokutaro Nakai is described as a former Vice Minister for the Environment of Japan and an advisor to Nippon Steel. The speaker describes another system referenced earlier: interviewing James Martinez (Brillouin, California), and says multiple companies worldwide are working on LENR variations. They also claim Clean Planet has obtained 117 patents across 23 countries, and they emphasize that the company avoids the term “cold fusion,” using “quantum hydrogen energy” and other names instead. The speaker connects LENR heat to electricity generation via steam turbines and argues the technology could support decentralized power. They estimate that 24 kilowatts of heat could translate into about 10 kilowatts of electricity (via a presumed turbine efficiency), and they outline scaling scenarios: 100 units for about 1 megawatt and 1,000 units for about 1 gigawatt. They say LENR could operate 24/7 and reduce dependence on oil shipments from the Persian Gulf, while hydrogen and heavy water are described as potential inputs. They propose pairing LENR systems with battery storage and cite Chinese battery makers (CATL, BYD, Gotion) and claims of high cycle life and fast charging. They suggest this combination could enable home and commercial energy use without relying on solar or a traditional grid connection, with hydrogen distribution as the recurring supply mechanism. Finally, the speaker argues the broader outcome is a pivot away from hydrocarbons driven by the energy shock from the Iran conflict, while noting a multiyear rollout and near-term licensing of LENR tech to boiler manufacturers. They close by mentioning plans to provide more coverage and to reach out to Clean Planet for an interview.

You know, there's a silver lining to this war on Iran that has shut off, you know, 20% of the world's oil supply and a lot of the supply of natural gas, et cetera. The silver lining is that There's a massive acceleration of shifting towards green energy technologies that are actually breakthrough. I'm not talking about just old school wind and solar and things like that. I'm talking about breakthrough technologies, and one of them is called low energy nuclear reactions, or LENR also used to be called cold fusion. Well, there's a lot happening in cold fusion, and it turns out that this war in the Middle East is accelerating things. Now, I've been covering cold fusion for many years, maybe seven years or something. No, I think longer than that actually, but a long time. And I've long known that it's a, it's a real phenomenon. It's something that is natural It's entirely consistent with the laws of physics, but it's, it's also finicky. And of course, conventional physicists never wanted to look at this, and the argument was, "Well, I mean, you know, besides, we have plenty of oil." Well, that argument doesn't fly any longer. And all of a sudden, many countries around the world are desperate to find new energy sources that don't emit carbon dioxide, for one thing, you know, 'cause of all the, the climate cultism out there, they're all about low carbon emissions. But, you know, nuclear energy doesn't have carbon emissions. However, countries like Japan are very much afraid of nuclear energy because of what happened with Fukushima. Was that- 2011, I think, is when that happened, and you can't blame them. And by the way, the Fukushima nuclear power facility was built by General Electric, so that's American technology that went bad. And of course, that fission approach to nuclear energy creation, which of course, uses fuel rods to boil water to create steam to drive steam turbines that then produce alternating current electricity, right? that whole process then results In nuclear waste material that somebody has to do something with. Well, what if there were a, a cleaner way to boil water? And push it through steam turbines to generate power. Of course, you know, you can boil water with coal, but that's not, you know, that's not considered a clean way to do things. You can also, you can spin a turbine with natural gas. Those are called gas turbines, but they're loud. And right now, the data centers that are exploding all across America, they, they're, they're installing gas turbines, which is creating noise pollution, and of course, a lot of heat. A lot of heat and using up the natural gas of the world, and of course, that's not a carbon free emission system, obviously. So that's not something that the environmentalists want. But low energy nuclear reactions or cold fusion is the perfect technology to heat water. And once you heat that water, of course, then, you know, you can, you can drive the steam turbines and you can generate electricity at scale. Now I've been covering for many years, I've been covering well, I've been interviewing James Martinez, who speaks about a company called Brillouin, which is based in California. But there are other companies around the world that are working on various renditions of low energy nuclear reaction technology. Now, for the record, by the way, I have an interview coming up with James Martinez. for decentralized TV. So you don't wanna miss that. That's gonna be a really great interview. But I wanna bring your attention today to a different company, a company out of Japan called Clean Planet, and their website is cleanplanet dot co dot jp. So they are a Japanese company that has developed-- oh, and they have something like a hundred and thirty plus patents or something in that range. They developed what they call a QHE boiler. And the QHE, they say that means quantum hydrogen energy. So one of the ways that LENR works, regardless of what kind of materials you're talking about, typically it, it, it claims to push hydrogen into other lattices of various elements. It could be platinum, it could be copper, it could be nickel, whatever in order to cause Fusion, which releases excess heat as a result. So that's why it's called cold fusion. Cold meaning it's not millions of degrees like, like hot fusion systems or the fusion in the sun. So cold doesn't actually mean frigid cold. Cold just means maybe something less than a thousand degrees Celsius, okay? It, it, it would still be hot for you and I to, to touch it probably. But there's no risk of a runaway critical- Cality event like you have in fusion nuclear power plants, and also you don't have to have this massive multi-billion dollar energy system to have the temperatures of the sun and, and you know, with a magnetic levitation field and, and all this, you know, with fifty thousand lasers, you don't need any of that stuff. This technology, Leonard, takes place on a desktop. And in fact, this Japanese company, Clean Planet Has investment money now from Mitsubishi. Right, right. So they're not just some fly-by-night company. They have received, let's see, in twenty twenty-five, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government gave them six point eight million dollars equivalent in, in yen And they're going to build a production facility. They're actually going into production scale with their technology now. And then in February of this year, they had some Series B fundraising. Let's see, or maybe that's even still open. they've raised almost thirteen million dollars to date. They've got six investors, including Sankei Building Company The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, like I mentioned Mura of Japan, and the Tohoku University Startup Incubation Center. And then the company is supported additionally, I mentioned Mitsubishi. Maybe Mitsubishi, I'm not sure if they're an investor or if they're just sort of validating the technology, it's not clear from my research. Nevertheless They're working with Mitsubishi on validation of the technology and some some guidance on moving from R&D to the industrial scale build out. Also, one of the advisors to Clean Planet is a man named Tokutaro Nakai. He is the former Vice Minister for the Environment Of Japan, and he was an advisor to Nippon Steel also, so you know, heavyweight person who, who knows a, a lot about energy ob-obviously. So this company, Clean Planet, they have developed what they call the Icarus module or Icarus, I K A R O S, Icarus module Q H E again, Quantum, what, what are they called? Quantum Hydrogen Energy. Yeah. Sorry, every time I see H E, I keep thinking Helium, you know, 'cause it's from the table of elements, but it's Hydrogen Energy. And then they claim that each module, which can sit basically on a desktop, can generate twenty-four kilowatts of heat. W-w-wow! Haha. Wow. And, let's see, the materials that they- Say they're using are relatively simple. From their website, they're using nickel and copper. Nickel and copper. Wow. And then the hydrogen that they're pushing into the lattice of nickel and copper, which is probably, you know, layered at, at the nanoscale or something, I'm, I'm sure it's a very elaborate lattice, but as the hydrogen gets pushed into it Then there's, there's fusion, there's actually atomic fusion, which releases the excess energy, and that excess energy, according to their website, is targeted at twenty-four kilowatts, but that's heat, that's not, you know, it's not like solar panel energy, it's not DC electricity, it's twenty-four kilowatts of heat energy, but that's a lot of heat energy on a desktop, and of course You know, you can boil water with a, a fraction of that, right? Because, you know, you can buy a, even like a fifteen hundred watt or a one point five kilowatt little desktop, you know, boiler stove thing, like a little portable stovetop, and you can boil water with one point five kilowatts. With twenty four kilowatts, you can boil a lot of water. And the, the thing is that The use of water to drive steam turbines is a very mature technology because that's used, of course, in the nuclear industry, it's used in, well, it's actually used in a lot of industries to use excess heat in a constructive way and kind of to recapture some amount of energy in the form of electricity. So That part of this equation isn't difficult. If you can create heat, we can turn that heat into alternating current, or we, we can charge batteries with it, or we can drive motors, or we can power the electric grid, or we can power data centers. That's not the difficult part. The question that the scientific community would have, and I use that term loosely, trust me is, does this technology actually work? And of course, I've been covering Different variations of this technology for many years. I'm convinced that this is real, that this is consistent with the laws of nature. I'm convinced that this technology works, even though I've never had my hands on a unit, but I've studied it quite a lot. I've interviewed several people, I've listened to many different podcasts, I've read many different science papers on this over the years, and there's no question in my mind that this works. It's just that it's a, it's a slow- Heat generation process, so it doesn't generate current directly, and when I say slow, what I mean is, you know, it's, it's not fancy, there, there, there's nothing that you can really look at, you know, it doesn't look cool All it is is a, it's a container of water getting hot over and over again. And if you feed cold water into it, the water gets hot, and you feed more cold water, it gets hot. that's how these work. It's pretty amazing. And yes, they, they have their own electrical input Of some kind, so, you know, they, they have their own energy requirement that is a fraction of the output energy. So, yeah, they, they will still consume some energy themselves per module, but they will put out many times more energy in terms of heat. Then the question becomes, what's the efficiency of capturing heat energy and turning it into electricity? And that efficiency, I would have to look up the numbers, I'm not sure, but with steam turbines I think it would be generous to, to say forty percent, okay? I, I'm just guessing. May, maybe it's higher, maybe it's higher. But let's say if you could generate twenty-four kilowatts off of one of these units, you could maybe turn that into, let's just use a round number, ten kilowatts of electricity, which means in one hour you've generated ten kilowatt hours of electricity. That is very cool, which means This is more than enough to run a person's home or a typical home. So one of these units could drive basically the entire electrical needs of a home, including potentially some charging of EVs if you attach some batteries to this system, so you could, you could kind of store up extra energy in advance and then dump it into your EV, you know? But at a commercial scale, which is where this is focused, then you would chain a bunch of these together, you know? So obviously, let's say if you're getting ten kilowatts, right? So if you chain a hundred of these together, then you're getting one megawatt Right? So a hundred of these can produce and again, these are my estimates, this isn't official company information. But if you had a hundred of these units together, you're doing one megawatt, that's a pretty hefty amount. And then if you chain a thousand of those together, then you're doing one gigawatt of energy, which is a lot. That's enough to power, you know, thousands of homes, by the way. But that's also enough to power a massive one gigawatt data center. And the thing is, about this kind of energy, Leonard, is that it works twenty-four seven. It doesn't require the sun to shine, it doesn't require the wind to blow, it doesn't require shipments of oil or natural gas out of the Persian Gulf, et cetera, et cetera. This, as long as you're feeding it the right water and hydrogen And the systems that I'm familiar with would use heavy water, which is found in all the oceans of the world, it's, you know, widely available. But for this technology, you would feed it something like hydrogen gas, and then you would get this excess energy as long as you kept feeding it the hydrogen gas, at very small quantities, by the way, because remember, this is a mass to energy conversion, so you don't need much mass, hardly any, in fact, I mean Maybe you could run one of these for a year on like one small tank of hydrogen that would fit in a backpack or something like that, you know? It's, it, it's on that scale. Again, that's just my estimate, but I, I want you to understand, this unit that does this, that generates the twenty-four kilowatts, only weighs twelve kilograms, you know? So it's like thirty-five pounds or whatever that is It's not that much, or, you know, thirty to thirty-five pounds, and it's what is it? I-, i-, it's only a hundred and twenty centimeters tall, so, you know, one point two meters tall, it weighs thirty pounds or whatever. It's a small unit that produces a lot of power. So, here's my point That with this war happening in the Middle East and the lack of natural gas and oil affecting countries like Japan and Taiwan and South Korea especially a lot of Southeast Asian nations as well, you know, think about Bangladesh, but also think about the energy supply in India or Egypt or, you know, a, a bunch of other countries. These countries need a technology that replaces the Middle East And with the Middle East now in a crisis mode, the argument has completely changed. Where last year somebody could state as their argument, "Well, we don't need LENR technology because we've got oil and gas coming out of Qatar," well, that argument has now failed So there is no natural gas coming out of Qatar, and the Qatar gas trains, the LNG trains, have been damaged, or at least two of them have been destroyed, and they're saying it's gonna be five years before those are back online. So wait a second, right? And then some of the oil wells are being permanently damaged to where they're never gonna be back at a hundred percent, not ever. Some would be lucky to come back to eighty percent flow, maybe seventy percent on other wells. So we are never going back to the energy abundance that we had before the end of February twenty twenty-six, when Trump launched this war on Iran, for whatever reason. That seems insane. We're never going back to the energy abundance we had. Thus, the war with Iran has forced the world to move forward. With exotic energy research. And where cold fusion used to sound crazy five years ago, now countries like Japan are like, "Well, wait a second, we should take a look at this because we certainly can't depend on, you know, the Persian Gulf, and we can't depend on our allies, the United States, either, 'cause they started this war." Right? That, that's another one. And we can't trust the nuclear, you know, the, the fission power plants, and, and we can't wait for the hot fusion, which might work by the year twenty seventy-five or something but probably won't. And they'll ask for another hundred billion dollars of funding to make a, a, a bigger project with more energy, and it still won't work. But whatever. Low energy nuclear reactions is something that works now. It, it's confirmed now. Again, not in the conventional scientific community, because, you know, I mean, those people still think carbon dioxide is bad. I mean, they, they're, they're not even qualified to be scientists. So of course, they're never gonna understand what this is, but you and I understand that the way forward is to decentralize power production through these kinds of small units that could be in every household or every business, every hospital, every milli- Every, you know, manufacturing facility could have its own local electrical supply, and then we wouldn't need a power grid, would we? Wouldn't need a power grid. Just need hydrogen distribution. You know, the, the hydrogen van shows up once a month or something or once a year and hands you another tank of hydrogen that you pay for to fuel your house for the next year. You know? That's what it could be. Almost like Mr. Fusion out of the movie Back to the Future. That's kind of where this is going. And, yeah, you, you might have some maintenance on your home LENR unit. Oh, and by the way, the Japanese company Clean Planet, they don't even use the term cold fusion. They, they don't even use the term LENR. I, I don't think. They say it's quantum hydrogen energy or QHE, which again, is confusing to me because I keep thinking it's helium. Nevertheless, they don't use the term cold fusion because they know that term turns people off. So they use terms like condensed matter nuclear reaction, you know, things like that. Oh and here it is they've obtained a hundred and seventeen patents in twenty-three countries. That's, that's a big deal. So In a way, this war with Iran may, in the long run, ev- even though in the short term it's gonna cause a lot of chaos and famine and disruptions and bankruptcies and, you know, all kinds of horrible effects, but in the long run, this looks increasingly like it's gonna be the, the turning point, the pivot For human civilization to finally end its addiction on hydrocarbons and seriously start pushing for other forms of energy that don't require the Persian Gulf, that really don't require the Middle East at all. And, you know, if you're one of the emirates, you know, in the United Arab Emirates, or if you're, you're one of the, the kings of Saudi Arabia or whatever, you don't wanna hear that, you know? Obviously, you wanna keep selling your oil as long as possible. And some people suspect that the oil, the oil industry, whether in the West or the East, has suppressed a lot of so-called free energy technologies for many, many decades. Maybe that's true. But right now, the world doesn't have a choice. The world needs energy, and now- Countries and corporations are willing to look beyond the things that, that used to trip them up. That's where we are today because of this war. So maybe we can thank Trump for unleashing the level of interest into cold fusion that ultimately resulted in cold fusion being commercialized to where A lot of people don't need hydrocarbons anymore from the Middle East. Now, I understand there are other products out of the Middle East that are important, sulfuric acid, helium, polyethylene, et cetera. I get it. You know, obviously the ammonia and the urea for fertilizer, using the Haber-Bosch process to, you know, to change natural gas into nitrogen and fertilizers, we've covered all that before. I understand. There's still a need for some amount of gas, but- What if you could replace all the hydrocarbons in terms of energy use with something like cold fusion? And then, on top of this, at the same time, Chinese companies like CATL and BYD and Gotion, these companies are now announcing these amazing battery technologies that have an incredible charge-discharge cycle life. Gotion just announced a battery that has- Twenty thousand cycles that it will support. And there's also another company out of Estonia, I think, called Donut Lab that claims a hundred thousand cycles, but that hasn't been proven yet, and they have a solid state battery Which I, I'm very skeptical the solid state battery could do a hundred thousand cycles, but who knows. Nevertheless, this Gotion company out of China, they're legit. yes, they, they have a battery that does twenty thousand cycles, and Cadal has been announcing all kinds of new, like, rapid charge EV batteries where you can charge from Almost zero percent to ninety percent in something like, you know, six minutes or whatever it is, it's incredible the amount of energy these batteries can take in now without self-destructing. That's, that's, that's some amazing chemistry right there. So If you combine the Chinese battery technology with this Japanese cold fusion tech or the California Brillouin cold fusion technology or the others that are announcing similar things around the world, now you have the perfect setup. You know, you would, you'd buy a cold fusion unit, again, I'm calling it cold fusion, but these companies don't let's call it LENR. You buy a LENR unit Let's, let's take this one from Japan, twenty-four kilowatts, and I'm, I'm estimating you get ten kilowatts of usable energy, okay? You buy one of these units, you, you stick it in your garage, and it's generating ten kilowatts all day long, and you, you buy these amazing batteries from China as part of a battery storage system, you don't even need solar panels at this point, by the way. So you're basically building a solar system without solar panels. So yeah, you still have the inverter, you know, you, you still have the batteries, but this, this, what did they call it again? QHE unit is generating all this power twenty-four-seven while you're sleeping. So then you buy an EV, and when you come home with your EV, you wanna charge it, you just plug it into your battery pack there, and your batteries are recharged by the, the Leonard unit. So you don't even need a power grid connection. You don't even have an electric bill at all. You're not even connected to the power grid at this point. And so you don't care what the data centers are doing to the power grid, 'cause you know they're gonna take your power anyway, they're gonna cut you off anyway, so we might as well get moving in this direction. So you can recharge everything, you know, your power tools, your, your electric lawnmower, if you have one of those, you know, your home robot, whatever, your EV Your EV truck, you know, your electric plane, and, you know, the helicopter you have in the backyard that's also electric, because that's coming, there's gonna be electric aircraft with this battery technology, you can recharge all of that from this unit sitting in your garage, 'cause ten kilowatts adds up, you know, ten kilowatts times twenty-four hours, that's a lot, that's a lot of power, you know, every single day. So This is what decentralized power looks like in the future, and in a weird way, we, we might have Trump to thank for this. Can you imagine? Not that this, not that he did any of this on purpose, you know? 'Cause Trump is very friendly with the oil industry and the natural gas industry. Wouldn't it be weird if he put them out of business largely by forcing the world To investigate and embrace alternatives, 'cause that's what it looks like is happening. Pretty wild, huh? Pretty wild. Now, everything I've described here is gonna take a few years to, to get rolled out, obviously. And Even this company, Clean Planet, you know, they're, they're not selling these units yet, they're still building things out. Same thing with Brillouin. And my understanding is a lot of these companies, they've licensed their tech first to boiler manufacturers because that's obvious, where you just heat water with it, you know, you get extra heat for your boiler, so it saves a lot of electricity or, or gas for the boilers, you know, to heat buildings and things like that. So that's the first application, but eventually, as this technology is more and more proven and then ultimately miniaturized, this will come to people's homes, and you'll be able to buy these units and install them in your home, and it'll be totally normal, and you'll just be generating electricity twenty-four-seven, and that-- it won't be weird. It'll just be, you know, it'll just be the latest thing, the latest technology. And there's no radiation emitted from LENR, by the way, you don't have to worry about radiation. There's, there's no-- It's not gonna go nuclear, you know? It can't have a meltdown. It's not doing fission, it's not hot, it's not, not very hot, you know? It, it doesn't have any of the risks, and there, there's no waste product from it. There's no waste. Like, oh, what? You know, maybe after you use one of the cathode rods or something for a couple years, yeah, you end up tossing some, you know, nickel or copper or, or palladium or whatever. but there's, it's not toxic. It's not like lead acid batteries that are loaded with lead or it's not like, you know, uranium that's partially used but it's still radioactive for a million years. There's nothing like that. This is the cleanest source of energy that exists. And it's being commercialized right now by multiple companies around the world, so pretty interesting. I will keep you posted on this, and of course, I'm gonna bring you an interview with James Martinez about this topic coming up real soon here, maybe this week. I'll also, I'm gonna reach out to this company, Clean Planet in Japan, see if, if they have somebody that would like to join us for an interview on decentralized TV, that would be kinda cool, have them on and see what they've got to say. And we will be advocates for this technology as it is commercialized and rolled out, because, you know, we, we support decentralization, and also we love clean energy. Of course we love clean energy. You know, why burn oil and gas if you don't need to, if you can just use, just turn hydrogen mass into energy? E equals m c squared, man. That's, it's the best conversion formula that you could hope for. A little bit of mass, you get a whole lot of energy. That's amazing. That's what we need to power our world and to power the data centers and, you know, without robbing electricity from the citizens. So this is a big solution. And we, we have to thank Trump for, again, for pushing, pushing all the countries in this direction and saying, "Well, we better find some new form of energy, or, you know, we're all screwed because the Middle East is gonna be wrecked here, probably." I mean, part of it's already wrecked, so we're already in this. Alright, so you can follow me, by the way, at brightvideos dot com. And you can also follow my articles and infographics on all of this at naturalnews dot com. Of course, I'm a published scientist, I'm an inventor, I've got patents I've got a lab, a mass spec laboratory, as you know, and of course, we run ICP-MS, mass spec instruments for elemental analysis, and if there's anything that I can- Test, you know, with this technology that's coming out from different companies, if, if I can help validate it with my lab, that's something that I would volunteer to any of these companies. If we can be of assistance with our very high end ISO accredited mass spec laboratory, I'm happy to, to, you know, participate at no charge just 'cause I wanna help advocate for this technology. So Stay tuned, there's a lot more news coming this year on this issue, and you know, don't fret, the, the end of cheap oil doesn't mean the end of humanity, because we, we already know about better solutions And all the technology is emerging at just the right time. The battery tech, you know, the Leonard tech even the robotics automation for like off-grid living assistance and things like that. All of this AI technology local AI that also is very energy-hungry, by the way. But this is all emerging very rapidly, also very affordable solar panels right now, they're dirt cheap if you wanna build a solar system and get yourself off-grid. This is all emerging at just the right time, just when humanity needs it. It's kind of like it's all falling into place. Kind of wild, isn't it? Huh, I know. But stay tuned, I'll bring you more stories about all of this as this situation develops. Again, I'm Mike Adams. Thanks for listening. Take care. The Health Ranger Store Memorial Day Sale begins May 21st at 11:00 AM and it lasts through May 26. We've got some great specials for you during that entire sale event, and it starts at 11:00 AM on May 21st. Double points on all purchases. This is huge. So in essence, you're getting about ten percent back in terms of loyalty points that you can use against future purchases, or you can convert those points into book tokens to do full-length book creation. At Brightlearn dot AI, or to do more in-depth research with our AI agents at Brightanswers dot AI. So those tokens are dual use, or you can just use the loyalty points on future purchases at HealthRangerStore dot com. So I guess it's really triple use. But we've got a lot of things on sale. for example, organic loco moco powder, which is a nice natural sweetener, forty percent off. We've got discounts on things like orange essential oil, Groovy Bee superfood, free- Cheesecake, organic whole corn, organic pumpkin spice oat latte powder, that's quite delicious, by the way, and many other products that will help you stock up on food as we are facing, you know, a, a situation in our world where food supplies are gonna become quite critical in many areas. But on top of all of the food items and nutritional supplements and personal care that we have on sale with double points during this sale event, we also have third party vendors That have extended discounts through our store that includes Nahaya Active Organics, which is a personal care and skincare line that's absolutely extraordinary. We have Sharky forged steel tools at twenty percent off. That's highly unusual. We have the garden towers. We've got Delilah Home that has organic cotton and many other amazing fabrics, those are ten percent off. You can check out all the sale items at healthrangerstore dot com slash memorial day, all one word, no space, healthrangerstore dot com slash memorial day. And again, the sale begins at eleven AM on May twenty-first and it lasts through May twenty-six. Again Double points on everything during this Memorial Day sale, which is equivalent to about ten percent back on your purchases. And one of the best ways to remember all our loved ones during Memorial Day is to make sure that we are safe and secure for our families and for our futures. And so that's why I just wanna emphasize more than any other year Right now, we are facing a food crisis. We're facing obviously a fertilizer crisis, an energy crisis in our world. It hasn't been resolved yet. It's going to get more difficult for the rest of this year and into twenty twenty-seven. So right now at healthrangerstore dot com, we have certified organic, lab tested food supplies, including long term storable foods, many of them freeze dried in number ten steel cans that are sealed for ruggedness and portability and long- term durability, and I can't guarantee what our supplies are gonna look like later on this year. So this is a great opportunity to stock up now while we have supplies, and we have them at relatively good prices. I mean, we haven't hiked our prices, but food inflation is gonna kick in. The harvest season in, in the fall or even the winter coming up is going to be probably brutal in terms of scarcity and pricing, and there's no question that our prices will refl- Like that, so they will go higher naturally in the fall, the winter, and well into twenty twenty-seven. So right now, the best prices you're gonna find, and huge discounts on many items, and roughly ten percent back in terms of loyalty points on your purchases. So go to, again, healthrancherstore dot com slash Memorial Day, beginning May twenty-first at eleven AM, and stock up because we've got it, we've got it tested and clean, certified organic, we've got it all in our warehouse. Houses right here in Central Texas, so thank you for your support. I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, and I wanna wish you all a happy Memorial Day. Take care.

If you're buying recycled polyester clothing, you're wearing plastic bottles! (Full report) https://t.co/WnaYXtAdMX

Video Transcript AI Summary
Recycled fibers are not necessarily natural fibers. The most commonly recycled fiber is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used to make polyester. PET shares a structural name similarity with phthalates, and the speaker says people try to avoid phthalates in personal care products, associating them with cancer-causing, hormone-disrupting effects on the endocrine system. While the speaker says PET is not exactly the same as other “phthalate” forms found in personal care products, PET is described as what most people wear when they wear polyester. The speaker argues that “recycled fiber” clothing still means recycled PET—often described as “water bottles.” As people move while wearing polyester, microfibers are released into the air and into indoor environments, getting into carpet and into bedding. The speaker claims that polyester also becomes a source of microplastics exposure through inhalation. The speaker emphasizes that polyester fibers do not penetrate the skin because they are too large, but they can be inhaled and are “easily” inhaled. They describe polyester “shedding” as creating a microplastics “cloud” around people, including in public spaces like airplanes and concerts, where people are breathing other people’s polyester shedding. The speaker addresses why this matters for people who buy recycled clothing, stating that buying recycled fibers does not prevent wearing water-bottle-derived PET. A key additional factor is drying method. If polyester is dried on a laundry line in direct sun, ultraviolet radiation exposure makes PET fibers more fragile and increases microplastics shedding. The speaker contrasts this with cotton: cotton can be dried on a clothesline without being “destroyed” by ultraviolet radiation because it is a natural plant-based fiber with resistance to UV degradation. If polyester is dried in a dryer, the speaker says it still sheds microplastics, but “not as many” because it holds together better; however, microplastics are blown out through the dryer vent into the neighborhood. The speaker connects dryer use with other emissions from fabric softeners and dryer sheets, and says that along with microplastics, nearby people are exposed to chemicals released during drying. Regarding alternatives, the speaker lists natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, wool, and alpaca, and says cotton is the most common fiber. The speaker also says much cotton is genetically modified, so they recommend choosing organic cotton. For garments with elasticity (such as socks and underwear), the speaker describes rayon as typically mixed with synthetic fibers like polyester and spandex, and recommends minimizing synthetic fibers. The speaker’s main action guidance is to stop buying and wearing polyester “all day long, everyday,” and instead choose natural fibers, ideally organic cotton, with some hemp and potentially wool or alpaca. They also claim bamboo-based textiles are preferable to polyester. The speaker concludes that microplastics are not mysterious sources outside daily life; rather, the speaker says people are wearing them, and that clothing changes are a simple way to reduce microplastics exposure.

You know, just because you're wearing clothing made from recycled fibers doesn't mean they're natural fibers. The number one most frequently recycled fiber is PET, yeah, from plastic water bottles. PET, polyethylene terephthalate, think about that. The terephthalate contains the term phthalate, and of course, everybody that knows anything about health is always looking to avoid phthalates in personal care products, any kind of, you know, cosmetics or shampoos or skin lotions or whatever, we don't want phthalates. And that, why? You know, cancer-causing, hormone-disrupting, endocrine system, all of that. Now, tera-thelate isn't exactly the same as the other forms of thelate that are in personal care products, but it does share some common structure, obviously because of the name. The point is, PET, this is what most people are wearing when they wear polyester, right? I mean, polyester is really just PET spun into a fiber. This is They're number one source of exposure to microplastics, and it can often be called, you know, recycled fibers. So a lot of people think, "Oh, I'm buying recycled fibers, that must mean they're healthy and they're green and they're natural." No, they're not. They're recycled PET. You're wearing water bottles. You're wearing water bottles, and then every time you move There's a release of some certain amount of you know, the microfibers, and they release into the air around you, they release into your home, they get into your carpet, into your bed if you're wearing polyester clothing to bed, et cetera. You don't want that. So what are natural fibers? Well, you probably know, but let me just review them. Obviously, cotton, hemp bamboo fibers, although there's a lot of really toxic processing that goes into bamboo fibers, but it starts with something natural, i.e., bamboo. But, you know, look, cotton is the, simply the number one fiber, but we'll talk about that more because most of that comes from GM cotton, or, you know, GMO, genetically modified cotton. That's what's grown almost everywhere, so you, you need to choose organic cotton. But then of course, there's also wool and alpaca fibers and natural, you know, animal fibers that are all very, very good, very healthy, and renewable. So for me personally, except when I'm on camera in the studio, unfortunately, a lot of that stuff is polyester. But when I'm on my day to day life on my ranch or whatever, almost everything for me is cotton Or wool with a little bit of hemp. Now, there's some rayon fibers, you know in socks and, and in underwear and whatever has elasticity will typically have some, some rayon, some polyester, some spandex, et cetera. I mean, those are all synthetic fibers, so try to minimize those. But the most important thing that you can do in this category to avoid the microplastics exposure from your clothing is to just stop buying and wearing polyester all day long, everyday. You know, get, get yourself some organic cotton pants or even, frankly, blue jeans are healthier than polyester slacks because blue jeans are, you know, cotton. Even though typically, again, it's GMO cotton, but that's better for you than wearing polyester pants. Now, the number one route of exposure of the microplastics, in this case from clothing, is through inhalation. It's not through your skin. So these fibers don't penetrate your skin. That's good to know. I mean, how could they? They're too large to go through your skin, but they can easily be inhaled, and they are. So if you have polyester clothing, then you, you are sort of emitting a, a light cloud of microplastics particles all around you, everywhere you go, and then you're breathing those in. That's why if you travel in an airplane, you're breathing other people's polyester shedding, let's call it that, it-- 'cause that's what it is, polyester shedding. You know? It's like spike protein shedding, but in this case it's from clothing. If you attend a concert, you know, if you, you know, whatever, any kind of a public trade show, it, it's, it's filled with microplastics particles, mostly from people's polyester. And a lot of those people thought they were doing the right thing. Oh, I bought recycled fiber clothing, I thought it's all green and everything. Nope, you're wearing water bottles again. Now, here's something else to keep in mind. If you have polyester clothing, never, never, well, the way you dry it really matters. So if you dry it on a, you know, in, in the sun, on a laundry line, which very few people use these days, but if you do that, your clothing will crumble because ultraviolet radiation exposure makes the PET fibers very fragile. So that would actually increase The microplastics shedding off of your polyester clothing. Now, if you think back about when did people use clotheslines? That's when Mostly we had more natural fibers. So if you have a pair of cotton jeans, yeah, you can put those cotton jeans on the clothesline. You know, maybe you're running on a solar system and you're trying to reduce your use of a dryer that runs on electricity, that's perfectly reasonable to dry your blue jeans on a clothesline or a cotton shirt, et cetera, right? Makes perfect sense. You save a lot of energy doing that, and the cotton doesn't get destroyed by ultraviolet radiation. Why? Because cotton is a natural fiber that comes from the plant world, which exists under the sun, and so built into it is some level of resistance against, you know, degradation from ultraviolet radiation exposure. So, but you take these spun PET fibers, these polyester fibers, they break down very quickly, just like if you take a water bottle and stick it out In the sun for a few months, you know, or sometimes even less, it's gonna start breaking down. I've even seen this with five-gallon buckets, like polyethylene buckets, they will break down over time in sunlight as well. Although there are some forms of polyethylene, like the fifty-five gallon blue drums, that seem to be immune to sunlight degradation, but there are other forms that break down more quickly, they're used in, like store-bought five-gallon buckets and things like that. So, again, if you dry polyester on a clothesline, it's gonna shed more microplastics. Now, what happens if you dry it in a dryer? Well, it still sheds microplastics, not as many because it holds together better in a regular dryer, but it's blowing the microplastics out your dryer vent, which typically people live in a neighborhood, and you may know this, one of my pet peeves of walking around a neighborhood, is smelling other people's laundry detergent and their dryer sheet. You know, their fabric softeners that they put in their dryer, and they're blowing that out into the neighborhood where it's toxic to walk around in the neighborhood. It's not just toxic though from those cancer-causing solvents in the fabric softeners that people put in the dryer. Which coats their clothes with cancer-causing chemicals, and then they wonder, "Why did I get cancer?" And the doctor says, "It's not your fault, there's nothing you could have done." Yeah, there is something you could have done. You could have not poisoned your clothing every time you do laundry. That would be one thing that your doctor doesn't know. He's not paid to know that, by the way. but the other thing is you're blowing microplastics all over the neighborhood as you dry your polyester clothing. Now, I know, I know, some of you, you know, with your performance clothes and your yoga pants and, and, you know, your exercise this and that, and, you know, you're super stretchy, whatever, you're like, "Oh, I have to have synthetic fibers you know, it, it wicks away sweat." Huh, huh. yeah, well So does cotton, you know. now cotton gets waterlogged, if it gets wet, it, you know, loses its insulator properties, but wool functions just fine when it's wet because sheep can still live in the rain, it turns out. So, so wool maintains its insulation even if sheep get rained on. Imagine that. That's, that's some natural mother nature engineering for you right there. So you can take advantage of that. And yeah, you can buy wool socks, even thin ones. They don't have to be thick winter socks. You can buy thinner wool socks. You can buy wool blended underwear if you want to, if you wanna go that far. It's up to you. Cotton has a lot of natural great properties, as you may know and it's very affordable compared to other fibers, et cetera. My point is, whatever you do, focus on natural fibers. And I, I wish I had a line of clothing to recommend to you, I, I don't. But focus on organic cotton and some, a little bit of hemp, although it can be kind of rough at times. But wool, alpaca, if you've got the funds for it, that's very expensive. But focus on natural fibers and even, even bamboo would be better than polyester, by the way. You get bamboo towels and bed sheets and stuff. We do have those suppliers in our store. Check it out, go to healthrangerstore dot com. You can search on organic cotton. We work with, I think it's the Delilah company, Delilah Home, that has all these organic cotton bed sheets and pillowcases and so on. that's a great choice. We also work with some other companies that do bamboo fibers, you know, bamboo fiber towels and things like that, so you, you can check that out at healthrangerstore.com. Just be mindful of all of this, 'cause people wonder, "Where'd all these microplastics come from?" You're wearing them! You-- How'd I get all the microplastics in my brain and my testicles? You're wearing them! You know? It, it shouldn't be It shouldn't be a mystery, but for some reason it is. People talk about, "Oh, the, the environment's so polluted." No, you're wearing the freaking plastic. So, there you go. Or they're like, "Oh, the, the, the airplanes are dropping all these cancer-causing chemicals in the chemtrails." Yeah, and you're adding cancer-causing chemicals to your dryer, yourself. Your, your home is more toxic than the chemtrails. It would be like taking a hammer and beating yourself on the head, then complaining about the, the world gives you a headache. No, you're, you're beating yourself in the head with a hammer. Why don't you stop? But whatever, man. People wanna wear their polyester. Being interviewed for a used car salesman job or something. I don't know, what is it? Okay. All jokes aside, this is serious stuff. Reduce your microplastics by changing what you wear, it's very simple. And you can follow my work at brightvideos.com and my articles at naturalnews.com.

Hakeem from Above Phone: Modern digital convenience is a TRAP! Massive data collection is only accelerating... https://t.co/n8xSqH98lS

Video Transcript AI Summary
Hucky emphasizes “reclaiming autonomy through privacy-first technology,” resisting centralized digital control, and educating ordinary users on practical sovereignty tools. He says the smartphone has become “the single greatest tracking and behavioral modification device in human history,” functioning as a major surveillance portal. He describes his work as starting in the freedom space by helping people withdraw money from banks and self-educate their children, leading them to realize that the phone they use is “not on your side” and is “a pre-hacked device.” He says AI and tools like sentiment analysis are extending tracking beyond what people view online to determining how they feel, building a “cohesive profile” of likes, interests, and identity traits. He adds that big-tech devices can be able to “listen to our conversations” and that users have “absolutely no control” over it. He compares the situation to being unable to leave during a flight while Bill Gates is in control, and he argues that when AI rollouts happen they are enabled by default on phones. He says this is already the case for iPhones (and Apple Intelligence) and for Android (with Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini “baked into the operating system”), with “not really any going back.” Hucky says his approach helps people take back their technology “one device at a time” using “completely transparent, completely open source” software that has “better privacy and security” than “billion-dollar big tech companies.” In a second question, Akeem asks about convenience as the bait for surveillance, asking what convenience traps people willingly accept and whether people underestimate how much data phones collect daily. Hucky answers that “convenience” is the key trap, using a metaphor about “gingerbread” with a witch inside. He says ecosystems from companies like Apple and Microsoft make devices so easy that users forget how to use technology themselves, and eventually “you’re not even using technology anymore,” because it acts “behind its back.” He warns that people may not know how to navigate without Google Maps or Apple Maps, and asks what happens when those services fail. He also says practical scenarios may emerge where places won’t load on maps because they are “not approved” or because of “hit your carbon footprint.” His message is to relearn how to use phones and laptops, noting it may not be learned overnight but is worthwhile because it restores freedom and creative autonomy.

Because there may be some viewers who perhaps are unfamiliar with your work, Hucky your public messaging strongly emphasizes reclaiming autonomy through privacy-first technology, resisting centralized digital control, and educating ordinary users on practical sovereignty tools. So, you rock, first of all, let's just get that out of the way. my first question most people think freedom means from politics or- From money, but would you argue that the smartphone has become the single greatest tracking and behavioral modification device in human history, Haki? It's, it's definitely a portal to the greatest amount of surveillance we've seen, and we're on the frontier of that. So, I mean, my, my, my work started out in the freedom space, helping people who were already pulling their money out of the banks, who were already self-educating their children, and getting them to realize, hey, that phone you're using, it's, it's not on your side, right? It's, it's a pre-hacked device. So now it's interesting to see that we're on the frontier of Where we already have things like sentiment analysis and AI is making this a lot easier, where it's not just determining what you're looking at online, but it's, it's determining how you feel about it and making a more cohesive profile about you, your likes, your interests, the type of person you are. And so that's, that's really scary to see that this is a device that's around us all the time, it has the ability to listen to our conversations, at least if you're using a big tech device And you have absolutely no control for it. It's like you're on a it's like you're on a transatlantic flight and Bill Gates is in the pilot seat and he's like, "Uh, you can't get out, right?" So whenever, whenever they decide for a rollout of AI, it's just enabled on your phone by default. This has already happened if you're using an iPhone. If you're using an Android, Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini are already baked into the operating system. There's, there's not really any going back. So We're helping people take back their technology one device at a time using software that is completely transparent, completely open source, and has better privacy and security than these billion-dollar big tech companies. Hakim, is that transatlantic flight of Bill Gates, is that heading to Epstein Island or... Hey, Akeem, I, I just have a quick two-part question, and then Mike, I'll hand it over to you. But you said that convenience is often the bait for surveillance. what are people's biggest convenience traps that they're, they willingly accept today? And, do most people still radically underestimate how much data their phones collect about them every single day? Convenience, that's, that's the big one. You know, that's that is the candy that gets you into the house made out of gingerbread, where the witch the witch is sitting inside waiting for you. weird, weird metaphor, but, you know, that's exactly how these big tech convenience trips works. now anyone using an Apple computer, it's supposed to be really fast and ultimately connects your laptop and your phone, it's supposed to make your life easier. But the thing is Is that applying all these layers of convenience and glue you, you forget how to use a computer, and this is something that myself and my team deal with on a day-to-day basis because Apple and Microsoft is, is doing their best. They're trying to make using technology so easy that you forget how to use it, and at a certain point, you're not even using technology anymore. It's kind of doing its own thing behind its back, and it's, it's made way, way too easy. So it's kind of scary that we've come to a point in time where people don't even know the directions around their town, right? They plug in to Google Maps or to Apple Maps and they get the directions for them, but they don't know how to get around town. What happens when that fails? Or what happens when a farmer's market simply won't load up on the map because it's not approved or you've hit your carbon footprint? These are, these are things we're actually that-- these are things that are in our near future. So part of it is to relearn When it comes to using our phones and our laptops, it's as easy as we could make it. Is it gonna be something you learn overnight? No, but it is worthwhile, right? Everything that you do that, that gives you back your freedom and your autonomy, and you do have creative freedom of how to use it, is is, is gonna be worth learning. So that's, that's the underlying message of everything we do. Bright videos.

Full report - Used EV batteries can still power your home... and they're incredibly affordable. https://t.co/LvdV895yZf

Video Transcript AI Summary
Mike Adams discusses research into economically achieving complete off-grid home power storage, noting that going fully off grid today is possible but typically requires high spending (about $50,000+), ample space for large solar arrays, and a diesel generator plus on-site diesel storage—combinations that are difficult for many people due to both cost and physical constraints. He reviews rack-mount lithium-ion batteries commonly available in 48V or 51V configurations, saying they are capable, but that UL-listed models are expensive. He gives an example that a typical 5 kWh UL-listed rack-mount battery may cost about $1,400, while cheaper non-UL-listed options may cost about $600, and he describes this difference as significant for safety-standard compliance. He then proposes an alternative: using used EV battery packs as a “dirt cheap” source of storage. Adams explains that older EV battery packs often still function after losing 30–50% of capacity, and that if acquired cheaply enough, the remaining capacity remains usable. He emphasizes that EV packs are often heavier than rack-mount systems and require special handling, suggesting equipment such as a forklift or a small hobby tractor fitted with forks (or forks attached to a bucket). He also notes upcoming all-electric tractor versions, describing them as easier to maintain and less expensive to operate. He describes procurement and delivery: EV battery packs typically arrive on a pallet and are shipped commercially, with an extra liftgate fee if delivered to a residential address without a loading dock, but remain a bargain relative to the power/storage obtained. He highlights a key technical advantage—many EV batteries include built-in coolant circulation pipes for battery heat management. He states that lithium-ion batteries require heat management to prevent permanent damage, swelling, and potential failure. He contrasts this with typical off-grid batteries that often rely on forced-air cooling via fans, which he says can work but is less efficient than water/liquid cooling. He then identifies a communication challenge between the inverter and the battery. He explains that batteries use a battery management system (BMS) and normally follow an agreed protocol to communicate with inverters and charge controllers that regulate charge limits, battery temperature, and voltage. He says it is necessary to determine how an inverter would talk to an older EV battery, and that he knows the issue has been solved by some people, though he does not yet know the solution himself. He says it may require AI research agents and/or custom electronics. Adams announces he plans an interview on Decentralized TV with a company that specializes in replacing and reclaiming/reusing EV batteries on the secondary market, with the goal of learning how to integrate such batteries with solar charging. He intends to order one battery, bring it into the studio, connect it with a charge controller in a small-scale pilot setup, and attempt to charge the EV battery while demonstrating the system. For examples of commonly available packs, he mentions the Nissan Leaf as an early EV with many available batteries, sometimes listed for around $500 on eBay plus shipping. He also notes possible DIY module usage, such as using 38 out of 40 modules in a pack, while warning that battery packs contain dangerous voltage and that opening or disassembling them is a DIY task. He further states that safety hazards also apply when connecting multiple battery packs to a common bus, such as the danger of improper equalizing leading to large power flows between batteries. He concludes that an EV battery can potentially power a typical home for several days, depending on household energy needs, and suggests that using multiple discounted EV batteries could provide substantial off-grid storage at far lower cost than purchasing new systems, while also reclaiming batteries that might otherwise end up in landfill.

Speaker 0: So as you know, I've been working on assessing the best way to have home power storage in order to get completely off grid and to do it in a way that is economical. I haven't haven't yet solved it, but I have some progress to share with you and to give you a little indication of where my own research is going on this. So first of all, it's entirely possible to go completely off grid today if you have a lot of money to spend on it, you know, $50,000 plus typically, and if you have enough space to put on a lot of solar panels and you're willing to buy a diesel generator and have on-site diesel storage as well. But those things are you know, that's tricky for most people. That that's that combination. Not everybody's got a setup where they can just put a a 500 gallon diesel tank in their side yard or whatever. Right? So, also, just the the money factor is really huge for a lot of people. And today's batteries, you know, I've I've assessed the rack mount batteries, the lithium ion that are typically available in 48 volts or 51 volts. They're they're very capable. They're very good. But if you want them to be UL listed, which is a a safety standard, then they're gonna cost. You know, typical five kilowatt hour rackmount battery, not only is it very heavy, some of them are, you know, 80 pounds or something or a 100 pounds in some cases. They're heavy, so they're they're difficult to handle for a lot of people, but also then they're expensive. So the UL listed batteries, just five kilowatt hours that have all the features you want can cost $1,400, whereas the the cheap ones that you can get for $600 are not UL listed and it's kind of it's kind of like yeah. Do you do you wanna roll the dice on on that? I don't know. So it turns out that there's another really abundant source of batteries that are dirt cheap and that is used EV batteries. Now, see, there there are a number of EVs that were made years ago where the battery packs are not great anymore. They've lost some percentage of their capacity. Sometimes, maybe they've lost 30 or 40 or even 50% of capacity. However, they still work. And as a result, even at 50% of capacity, if you can get them dirt cheap, you know, for essentially pennies on the dollar, they're still totally usable. Now these are even heavier than the other rack mount batteries, so they do require special equipment to be able to handle. Typically, something like a forklift, but a lot of people have maybe a small hobby tractor where you can put a set of forks on the front. Or if you have a bucket on the front of your tractor, you can sometimes just buy forks that attach to the bucket pretty inexpensively, actually. You can even get those on Amazon and you can can lift objects with a hobby tractor. And I've always said it's a good idea to have a a small tractor anyway, something even 20 horsepower or even smaller, even if you only have a few acres. So you can, you know, move dirt around, move leaves around, you know, you can haul things. This is another use case for that kind of tractor. Oh, and by the way, in the years ahead, there will be all electric versions of tractors like that available, which will be even easier to maintain and even less expensive to operate. So that's something kind of cool to keep in mind. So anyway, when you buy a used car battery pack or EV battery pack, it it arrives it arrives typically on a pallet, and it's shipped usually commercially. There's an extra fee for a liftgate if you want it dropped off at a residential address typically if you don't have, you know, a loading dock or something like that. But it's still a bargain for the amount of power or or storage of power that you are getting out of a used EV battery. Now, the advantage of these EV batteries is many of them have built in coolant circulation pipes. So, you know, when it comes to vehicles or EVs, battery heat management is really critical. They can't let the batteries get too hot, you know, especially lithium ion. If they get too hot, they start to have permanent damage, and they also swell, and they can start to burst and bad things happen. So they have to manage the heat. And one of the ways they do that is that they have the batteries are in contact with a a coolant pipeline system. And if you circulate even just water through that system, which can be done with a very inexpensive small pump, if you circulate water through there and then you dump the heat somewhere else, which can be done easily with just a fan blowing across, you know, PEX pipes or something. I mean, I'm not gonna focus on all that right now, but it's pretty easy to do that. Then you can also manage the heat of these batteries relatively easily. Whereas when you buy typical off grid batteries, they don't have, you know, a water cooling system. They normally have just a forced air cooling system. You gotta blow fans through it, which is just fine for many cases, but water cooling is much more efficient. And the EV batteries often have water cooling or, you know, liquid cooling built in, so that's pretty cool. There's another challenge in all of this though, which is the communication between the inverter and the battery. So normally, of course, batteries have an onboard what's called a BMS or battery management system, And there is an agreed upon protocol where batteries talk to inverters. And the inverters typically are all in one inverters that have charge controllers built in, and they determine how much charge the batteries can handle and what is the battery temperature, you know, what is the battery voltage, etcetera. So that you don't try to overcharge a battery, generate too much heat, cause damage, things like that. The question is, how does an inverter talk to an old EV battery? That problem has been solved by a few people. I don't yet know the solution to that, but I know it has been solved and know that if it's been solved by somebody else, then we can solve it too. We might have to use some AI research agents. We might have to use we might have to order, I don't know, some kind of custom little electronics board or something, but it's solvable. Here's the thing. I'm inviting for an interview on Decentralized TV, a company that specializes in exactly this kind of thing. They replace EV batteries and they also reclaim or reuse EV batteries that have a secondary market. And so they know how to do this. I'm gonna have them on the show and I'm going to, you know, try to learn and share this information with you so that if this is something you wanna do, then this would be a way to do it. I wanna do this myself. So my intention is to order one of these batteries, bring it into the studio actually, and then we're gonna attempt to set it up with a charge controller, you know, the typical solar situation but a small scale just as a pilot project, and we're going to attempt to charge the EV battery and to make it work and to show you, you know, how all that's working. At least this is my intention, assuming we can make it all happen. Now the Nissan Leaf was one of the earlier EVs that has since been I don't know if it's abandoned or canceled or just not that popular anymore. But because it was very popular for quite some time, the Nissan Leaf has a lot of EV batteries available. So that turns out to be one of the most common batteries that you can get dirt cheap. You can even buy them on eBay. Sometimes these are these are like $500 on eBay and then $300 shipping or something. So for under $1,000, you can get essentially 10 or $20,000 worth of batteries, but, you know, partially used, obviously. And other times with different kinds of EV batteries, they'll have, of course, multiple cells inside them. It might have like 40 cells in the pack. Other times, you can potentially, if you know what you're doing and and, you know, have to be safe about it, but you can open up the battery, you can use like 38 out of 40 of the modules which each one would have its own, you know, capability and voltage, whatever. It's it's a DIY project and I'm not saying that's for the faint of heart if you have to disassemble it, but some people do that. Just be aware if you do that, you know, those batteries have voltage. You don't want to be just reaching in there and touching contact surfaces on the batteries because they have power and, you know, sparks can fly and you could get shocked pretty badly if you don't know what you're doing. So maybe don't open it up if you're not a DIY person who's capable of all that. It's also good to have insulated tools like a screwdriver that's fully insulated, used by electricians. You can also buy insulation gloves so that if you do touch something, it doesn't you know, the power doesn't come through to your heart or whatever. So just keep that in mind. Nevertheless, all that said, I mean, those dangers exist also with other battery systems. Anytime you're dealing with a lot of battery storage, there is a safety issue, especially with, you know, equalizing different battery packs when you connect them on a common bus and then all of a sudden, you know, a massive amount of power flows from one battery to another which is a big mistake, then that can be very dangerous as well. So keep these things in mind. Nevertheless, my goal is to show you that this is possible and that this might be, in fact, the least expensive way to have an off grid battery storage project that can power your own home. There is enough power in a typical EV battery to power an entire typical home for several days. You know, some of those batteries could have still like 75 kilowatt hours or something like that. And that, depending on your household needs, that that could be enough for for quite a while. Maybe not in the heat of summer running air conditioning or in the winter running heat all the time, but in many situations, that can still get you through. So imagine connecting two or three of these that you've picked up for under $1,000 each. Now you're talking. Now you have real battery storage that hardly costs anything compared to buying all of those new and you've helped to reclaim batteries that might otherwise end up in landfill or something. So you're acquiring batteries that don't require new mining, new manufacturing, new construction, etcetera. And by the way, it doesn't mean that you're just gonna get crap batteries either. I've seen listings for batteries made by Cattl, c a t l, out of China that were in a vehicle. And sometimes a vehicle gets wrecked and the battery pack is retrieved from the vehicle even though the battery pack is itself not damaged, the vehicle is considered totaled so then it's just parted out And the battery pack is, of course, one of the most valuable parts in an EV. So that gets salvaged and then that gets sold off separately. It's perfectly good. So you can find deals like that, and that's what we're gonna be looking into. So stay tuned. I'll keep you posted. Of course, you can watch all my episodes of decentralized TV at the website decentralized.tv. And then for my regular podcasts and interviews and updates, you can find those at brightvideos.com. And then my articles and infographics are at naturalnews.com. So thank you for listening. I'm Mike Adams and I'll do my best to help you put together a solution here for off grid energy storage because the grid is not reliable any longer, especially with all these data centers coming online as you've probably seen. And they're cutting people off from the grid too. Did you see cutting off almost 50,000 people from the power grid in 2027. It's like, good luck. No power for you. You know? It's like no soup for you. No power. Wow. I guess we better figure this out quickly. So thanks for listening. Take care. The Health Rangers store Memorial Day sale begins May 21 at 11AM, and it lasts through May 26. We've got some great specials for you during that entire sale event, and it starts at 11AM on May 21. Double points on all purchases. This is huge. So in essence, you're getting about 10% back in terms of loyalty points that you can use against future purchases, or you can convert those points into book tokens to do full length book creation at brightlearn.ai or to do more in-depth research with our AI agents at brightanswers.ai. So those tokens are dual use, or you can just use the loyalty points on future purchases at healthrangerstore.com. So I guess it's really triple use. But we've got a lot of things on sale. For example, organic lucuma powder, which is a nice natural sweetener, 40% off. We've got discounts on things like orange essential oil, groovy bee, superfood, freeze dried, organic whole corn, organic pumpkin spice oat latte powder. That's quite delicious, by the way. And many other products that will help you stock up on food as we are facing, you know, a a situation in our world where food supplies are gonna become quite critical in many areas. But on top of all of the food items and nutritional supplements and personal care that we have on sale with double points during the sale event, We also have third party vendors that have extended discounts through our store that includes Nahaya Active Organics, which is a personal care and skin care line that's absolutely extraordinary. We have Sharkey Forged steel tools at 20% off. That's highly unusual. We have the garden towers. We've got Delilah Home that has organic cotton and many other amazing fabrics. Those are 10% off. You can check out all the sale items at healthrangerstore.com/memorialday. All one word, no space. Healthrangerstore.com/memorialday. And again, the sale begins at 11AM on May 21, and it lasts through May 26. Again, double points on everything during this Memorial Day sale, which is equivalent to about 10% back on your purchases. And one of the best ways to remember all our loved ones during Memorial Day is to make sure that we are safe and secure for our families and for our futures. And so that's why I just want to emphasize more than any other year, right now, we are facing a food crisis. We're facing, obviously, a fertilizer crisis, an energy crisis in our world. It has not been resolved yet. It's going to get more difficult for the rest of this year and into 2027. So right now at healthrangerstore.com, we have certified organic lab tested food supplies, including long term storable foods, many of them freeze dried in number 10 steel cans that are sealed for ruggedness and portability and long term durability. And I can't guarantee what our supplies are gonna look like later on this year. So this is a great opportunity to stock up now while we have supplies and we have them at relatively good prices. I mean, we haven't hiked our prices, but food inflation is gonna kick in. The harvest season in in the fall or even the winter coming up is going to be probably brutal in terms of scarcity and pricing, and there's no question that our prices will reflect that. So they will go higher naturally in the fall, the winter, and well into 2027. So right now, the best prices you're gonna find and huge discounts on many items and roughly 10% back in terms of loyalty points on your purchases. So go to, again, healthragerstore.com/ memorial day beginning May 21 at 11AM and stock up because we've got it. We've got it tested and clean and certified organic. We've got it all in our warehouses right here in Central Texas. So thank you for your support. I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and I wanna wish you all a happy Memorial Day. Take care.

Aaron Day joins me to talk about Flock camera, mass surveillance and technocratic control of the population. (video clip) https://t.co/GXYEVQFx2u

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers argue the United States is moving toward widespread surveillance and biometric control, describing a future where food shortages could lead to food rationing using biometrics—scanning a thumbprint at grocery stores to buy food. They connect planned technologies shown “on your timeline,” including modified flock cameras for human voice recognition, drones reading license plates from 800 feet altitude, RFID checking systems, and biometric systems, to a dystopian outcome they describe as combining “the worst parts of every Philip K Dick novel” into one direction. They respond to claims that people could use cash, stating that even cash purchases at Walmart can still generate digital records through cameras and email receipts, and that retailers are moving toward digital price tags amid inflation and currency value changes. They say they have been studying technocracy and point to data and examples they claim show growing surveillance nationwide, including in Ohio. They mention Clearview AI as being backed by Peter Thiel and say that in many states companies can access drivers’ license information and pictures. They also describe a “snitch based system” in Ohio where residents can be rewarded via a mobile app for reporting on fellow citizens, alongside flocked cameras. As an example tied to Ohio, they claim Jeffrey Epstein was co-president of a corporate town in Ohio created by Les Wexner, and that Ohio is a main corridor for AI data centers. The conversation then shifts to data centers. One speaker says some hyperscale data centers are approved under military designation, citing a Stratos Hyperscale Center in Utah said to be powering “nine gigawatts of compute,” and questions what is being done with that compute power. They also claim that in states such as Georgia or parts of Virginia, eminent domain is being declared to take private homes and bulldoze homes and farms to make room for corporate data centers, asking how a corporation can wield eminent domain and suggesting Pentagon involvement. In reply, the other speaker states the Pentagon is involved and argues against treating data centers as purely market-driven. They cite bills and a White House policy document on AI, claiming combined proposals would give the Department of Energy control over whether an AI model can be released, with a “go/no go” decision for AI models at certain sophistication levels. They also claim the secretary of commerce would be empowered to “snipe state law” and surgically shut down state regulations on AI. They say the secretary of commerce/FTC would control political bias by requiring an FTC process to determine whether AI is politically biased. They further say Lindsey Graham’s addition strips out section 230, removing legal limitations for platforms and allowing AI developers to be held personally liable. They conclude that this is a centralized federal model controlling steps end-to-end and that data centers rely on tax subsidies, describing “taxpayers funding the control grid.”

Speaker 0: As a nation, we seem to be sleepwalking right into this. And on your on your timeline, you show the flock cameras that are gonna be modified for human voice recognition, drones that will read license plates from 800 feet altitude, all all kinds of RFID checking systems, biometric systems. Once we end up in food shortages in North America, which could happen later this year, then you you could have food rationing that's powered by biometrics. Right? You have to scan your thumbprint at the grocery store to buy food. This is basically all the worst parts of every Philip K Dick novel you've ever read combined. That's where this is going. Speaker 1: That is where it's going. Mean, and to the point, there there's some people that will say, well, use cash. But as an example, if you go to Walmart and you pay with cash I just talked to somebody the other day who who bought something from Walmart with cash and then they got it out to their car and they got an email receipt because of all of the cameras and all of the information that that they're already collecting and you may have noticed they're already starting to move towards digital price tags because of, know, inflation in the way Yep. In the way that the dollar continues to lose its value. What so I you know, again, I've I've been just continuing to study technocracy and and I have been flabbergasted. The the technocracy Atlas when you run these reports for your state, you're gonna be shocked. I did a podcast about the state of Ohio. And you know, man, this is a state where there's already a full database. In fact, their company called Clearview AI, which Peter Thiel backed. This is in a lot of states where they already have your driver's license picture and information in a database that they can pull up. They're already implementing drones. They're implementing a snitch based system where you actually get rewarded for using a mobile app and reporting on your your fellow citizens in the state of Ohio. They have flocked. And this is a place in Ohio just to give you an example, you know, talking about Epstein Epstein, one of his big backers is a guy named Les Wexner and Les Wexner literally created a corporate town in Ohio, bought up a bunch of farmland called New Albany. For a while, Jeffrey Epstein was the co president of this, you know, corporate town. It is the main corridor for AI data centers in Ohio. So in researching this, I mean, I could do a podcast, you know, every week on a different country in a different state. No state is immune. What what what you notice and what you see from the map that I put together is technocracy is growing everywhere. But, I mean, we're in we're in in situations now where in in even states in The US that are almost complete surveillance states today in the future. Speaker 0: Yeah. Clearly, that's where all of this is headed. Now you mentioned data centers, and, of course, these hyperscale data centers are of increasing concern to the American people. What's astonishing to me, a couple of things. I'd love your reaction. Some of these data centers are being approved under some kind of military designation like this Stratos Hyperscale Center in Utah, which is insane that it's gonna power nine gigawatts of compute. I mean, nine gigawatts. What are they doing with all that compute power? You can answer that coming up. But also then in in other states, I think this is happening in Georgia or, maybe parts of Virginia where there's eminent domain being declared to to take people's private homes and to bulldoze their homes and their farms and their land to make room for a data center for a corporation. Since when did a corporation have the power to to wield eminent domain to take people's homes? Seems like that they they must have the Pentagon involved or something. What's going on? Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they do have the Pentagon involved. There's something so I I have the this argument often. I'm in New Hampshire, and there are lot of libertarians that are saying, why are you against, you know, data centers? Aren't you for free markets? Aren't you for technology? And then you need to look at the bills. You need to look at the White House policy document on AI and then there's a bill that was put forward by Marsha Blackburn in the United States Senate. And and here's what combined these two documents are trying to do. They will give control to the Department of Energy over whether or not an AI model can even be released. So the the DOT yes. The DOE will have for if for AI models at a certain level of sophistication, DOE will have the go no go decision on this. That's point number one. Point number two, there's this big issue that people have talked about with respect to trying to get rid of the ability for states to regulate AI. Well, under this bill, the secretary of commerce will be given basically the the power to snipe state law and will be given a kind of a window to to go in and just kind of surgically shut down these state laws regulating AI. The secretary of commerce is Howard and, you know, we could talk about that for a while. Speaker 0: Right. Right. Right. Speaker 1: It gives the FTC control over political bias. So your AI has to go through some kind of a an FTC process to determine whether it's politically biased or not. And then Lindsey Graham added a nice little piece to this bill which strips out section two thirty which is which which is what gives plot technology platforms the ability to, you know, allow free speech by not having legal liability for what users post on the platform. Well, this gets stripped out of these AI models and developers of AI systems can be held personally liable. So this is Lindsey Graham's addition to this. So when somebody says to me, oh, you don't like these AI models. Well, what kind of AI model is this? This is a complete centralized model that the federal government has control over all steps of the way. And then if it's not bad enough that this federal intrusion, most of these data centers are built using tax subsidies at the state level. So it's it's basically taxpayers funding the control grid. That's effectively what's going on with these data centers. Bright videos.

Clip with Sarah Westall from http://Decentralize.TV discussing the impact of technology on mental health, especially among younger populations... https://t.co/LfxWgGCrXu

Video Transcript AI Summary
A mental health expert described being inundated over the past year with clients who report feeling incredibly paranoid and hearing voices they had not heard before. The expert referenced audio projection technology, saying it is real and can make sounds inside people’s skulls, while suggesting it may be something more. They asked for a theory on why so many people are hearing messages. Another speaker theorized that modern technology can put out frequencies that make people feel certain ways and can make them hear things, stating this is “not science fiction” and “not conspiracy theory,” and that it is “very, very real.” They argued the technology is not even that complex anymore because it has been around for decades and has been implemented “when they need it,” including in other countries, and said there was once evidence that was easier to find online. The speaker claimed they made a mini documentary on related technologies and who they were used on, saying they could find it with Google search, but that now it is harder to find and that AIs do not bring it up either. They specifically mentioned DARPA “n three” technology, saying it has progressed past a “stage three,” where it can do “mental send messages into your brain wirelessly,” and that researchers have been working on two-way communication without a chip in the body. They contrasted this with “voice to skull,” described as one-way communication. The speaker also claimed that two-way communication could potentially be involved in what “a lot of people are saying” the COVID shots were about, and stated it “doesn’t even necessarily have to be the COVID shots” because it could do it in many different ways. They further claimed that robotic chips could get into the body without programming and could be miniaturized enough to fit “millions of them” on a pinhead. The speaker argued that the overall technology is more advanced than most people understand, and said that many people in Congress do not understand it. They said most work happens in computer science divisions of universities and at IEEE conferences, and that few people have that background. They added that people might not learn these topics in school unless they reach graduate school. The speaker concluded that people are coming in “en masse” reporting voices and that “they probably are” hearing them. They said the only way to stop it is for people to become aware, arguing that public awareness affected the COVID outcome by influencing behavior. They stated people are not going out and getting the shot anymore and claimed that increased awareness can change things. They said suppression is happening because “we’re telling the truth,” and reiterated that these are real technologies, including DARPA “n three,” and that people can learn about them.

Speaker 0: I saw a thread from someone who's a mental health expert saying that they've been inundated over the last year with a wave of clients that all talk about how they they feel incredibly paranoid, and they are hearing voices now that they never heard before. And we know about audio projection technology. That's real. They can literally make sounds inside people's skulls. But maybe it's something more than that. Do you have any theory on what's happening? Why are people hearing so many messages? Speaker 1: Well, I think they have the ability, the technology to put out frequencies that make you feel a certain way, to make you hear things. All of that is not science fiction. It's not conspiracy theory. It's very, very real. It's very possible. It's not even that complex anymore because it's been around for decades. And it's I think they implement it when they need it. And they've been doing it in other countries. We have evidence of that. It used to be much easier to find it on the Internet. I did a little mini documentary on all those technologies and who they used it on, and I could just find it with Google search. Back then, it wasn't hard. Now if you try to find it, you can't find it anywhere, and the AIs won't bring it up any either. But the that kind of technology has been around for decades, and the it's not even that hard, the skull to voice. The DARPA n three technology, which is actually already past the the stage three, that's where they can do mental send messages into your brain wirelessly, and they've been working on that. And I I mean, control you not you don't have to have a chip in your body to do the the two way communication. That what we're talking about here, voice to skull is a one way communication. They're working on two way communication without having a chip in your body. And a lot of people are saying that's what the COVID shots were about. It doesn't even necessarily have to be the COVID shots because it could do it in many different ways. And these little, these little robotic chips that can get in your body without any kind of programming are like they can fit millions of them on the top of a pin of a head, you know, the head of a pin. And so it's the technology is way more advanced than the average person understands. And when I started this and I said that there's so few people who are in congress that even understands this, it's it's extremely important that people under understand what I mean by that. Most of this stuff is happening in the computer science divisions of universities and the triple I triple e conferences and that area of the world, and so few people have that background. And we you don't have to go to school for it because you probably won't learn. You'll learn basics, but you won't learn that part necessarily in the schools unless you get into grad school. But there's we just need so many more people to work hard and understand what this all is all about because it's very real technology and they can use it at any point in time, and there's a lot of evidence that they are. And so people are coming in en masse and saying they're hearing these voices, they probably are. I mean, I'm sorry. They probably are. And the only way to stop it is for people to become aware, and we can make a difference. You know, people even though it doesn't feel like we won COVID, we did because enough people were were aware. People aren't going out and getting the shot anymore. So if you can make people aware of what's happening, things change. Of course, that's why they're trying to suppress us so hard is because we're telling the truth. These are real technologies, and they don't want people to know it. And, the DARPA n three, that's a real technology. Just go and read about it. It's real, and, it's not hidden. Even people can learn about this stuff. Write videos.

My recent segment with Ben Swann, covering the social and economic displacement of Americans caused by the explosion of AI data centers. https://t.co/FVD5N8QdTH

Speaker 0: Growth without restraint is driving corporate takeovers of physical space, water, power, land, and communities, with costs pushed directly onto people through their electric bills, water supply, property values, and quality of life. This is framed as enabling big tech to build the backbone of the AI economy, an economy described as planning to eliminate most jobs and most futures. Speaker 0 says the AI story is widely discussed online, including on X and Instagram. Speaker 0 rejects the idea that it is “the Chinese” pushing this, saying it is Americans asking what is happening in their communities—why electric bills are changing and why people are being forced off property—because some American oligarch wants to build a massive data center using more energy than the rest of the state. Speaker 1: Speaker 1 responds to Kevin O’Leary by saying Americans have concerns about noise pollution, light pollution, the use of local water, takeover of farmland, and destruction of local ecosystems, and that it is not foreign agents but American people who have the right to protect communities and resources. Speaker 1 argues that data centers threaten and displace local people and that they provide no benefit to the communities affected. The outcome is described as job replacement rather than job creation, with claims that people would face 24/7 noise from gas turbines and a gigawatt of power without receiving an “utopia” of abundance. Speaker 1 says the result includes noise, pollution, taking water, destroying real estate value, and taking jobs. Speaker 1 identifies himself as an accomplished AI developer who supports AI technology when used “for humanity,” but calls the data center effort “a threat to humanity.”

Speaker 0: We're seeing the impacts of growth without restraint, and now people are starting to realize, folks, this isn't just the future. It's a corporate takeover of your physical space, a corporate takeover of water, of power, of land, of communities, and the costs are being dumped directly onto you, on your electric bill, on your water supply, on your property value, on your quality of life, all so that big tech can build the backbone of the AI economy. The same economy that plans to eliminate most of our jobs and most of our futures. This AI story, it's all over x. It's all over Instagram. And despite what Kevin O'Leary wants to pretend, it ain't the Chinese that are pushing it. It's Americans who are saying, what is going on in my community? What is happening to my electric bill? And why am I being forced off my property? Because some American oligarch wants to build a massive data center that's using more energy than the rest of the state. Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's great to join you, Ben. And to Kevin O'Leary, you know, I would say, how dare you suggest that when Americans have concerns about noise pollution, light pollution, using up all their water, taking over farmland, and destroying local ecosystems, you know, how dare you suggest that they are foreign agents? You know, the American people have every right to protect their communities and to protect their resources that have kept them and their ancestors alive through the founding of this nation. We deserve to have access to the water that's local to our region and to the farmland that provides the food that we live on. And, you know, these data centers, they have no benefit to the local people that they are threatening and displacing. The the outcome from these data centers will be job replacement. So it's not like you can even pitch this as saying, hey. People, if you put up with the this airport sound of all these gas turbines running twenty four seven with, you know, a gigawatt of power, let's say, if you put up with this, then you're gonna have this abundance, this utopia. You're gonna have all this, you know, job opportunities. No. It's it's actually the worst of both worlds. You're gonna have all this noise, all this pollution. We're gonna take your water. We're gonna destroy the value of your real estate, and then the product of this data center will take your job. And I say that, Ben, as an AI developer myself. I'm I'm a very accomplished AI developer. I support the overall technology of AI when used for humanity, but what they're doing with these data centers, this is a threat to humanity. Bright videos.

Clip of my interview with Cyrus Janssen on why China is achieving such rapid AI acceleration and manufacturing automation. Full interviews at http://BrightVideos.com https://t.co/h7q4HFO9tJ

Video Transcript AI Summary
China’s accelerated AI progress is attributed to several factors. First, China leads the world in STEM graduates, producing far more STEM graduates annually than other countries. Second, the Chinese government’s long-term planning is emphasized, including “fourteenth consecutive five year plan,” where each five-year cycle sets national priorities and goals for the country. A prior example of this planning is described: the last five-year plan included increasing citizens’ life expectancy by one year. To pursue this, China focused on improving air quality through systematic steps such as changing factory practices, shifting electricity sources, and cleaning up urban air. The transcript contrasts earlier pollution levels—describing severe visibility issues in Shanghai—with later changes after the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. It also states that the auto industry shifted from gas vehicles to electric vehicles, claiming that China is “60% electric vehicles,” which improved air quality and street conditions in major cities like Shanghai and Beijing. For the current next five-year plan, the transcript says AI is the top priority, with heavy investment. A strategic advantage is described as China’s access to tremendous amounts of data. The transcript links this to training large language models, saying more people inputting creates more data and allows faster development and more advanced AI. It also points to TikTok as an example, stating TikTok rose quickly because China had more pieces of content feeding the recommendation algorithm, resulting in a more curated, superior algorithm. The transcript claims this contributed to TikTok becoming more popular in the United States than Facebook or Instagram, especially among people under 30. The transcript further contrasts approaches between China and the United States. It says the United States emphasizes monetizing and maximizing profitability, while China developed “Deepseek,” described as completely open source, open to anyone, and developed for “a few million dollars.” It contrasts this with OpenAI, described as charging monthly fees for access and involving investments totaling “hundreds of billions of dollars.” It also claims Sam Altman indicated the model may become so important for the American economy that it might require a government bailout, and that the U.S. government should bail out OpenAI. The overall takeaway is that the transcript presents China as pushing innovation in AI and other industries, including “write videos.”

Speaker 0: To what do you attribute China's just real acceleration in the pioneering of AI advances? Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a great question, Mike. And thanks again for having me back on the show. It's a pleasure to chat with you as always. And, you know, I think what's amazing with the AI race, you know, we always hear this, this, you know, the huge AI race between The United States and China. There's a few things that really are powering China. Number one, we have to remember that China leads the world in STEM graduates. So science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, you know, it's about a 10 to one ratio, you know, from what China is able to produce on a yearly basis Oh, Speaker 0: I'm sorry. We lead the world in woke graduates, though. Speaker 1: Yeah. And we do. Speaker 0: We're number one in woke. Speaker 1: That is we definitely we definitely do. You know, we lead the world in people that don't know how to define a woman. That's exactly what the that is. Right. We're number one. Yeah. We're number one in that, but hands down. And and what's funny is is, you know, you you ask that question anywhere in China, you would just get looked at like if you had two heads, because it's like I'm sorry. You you don't know what a woman is? Pretty obvious what a woman is. Right. But yet that here that's where we are here in 2026. But going back to the question here, you know, going you know, there's a tremendous amount of, planning that's done by China. And this is something that I often like to talk about about China because I think, you know, the there's there's several things that the government does that are very efficient and very interesting. One is that every five years, the Chinese government comes out with a five year plan. Currently, right now, the China is in its fourteenth consecutive five year plan. This is actually really a part of amazing thing about life in China because what happens is when this new goal comes out, it it gives the entire country a very interesting, you know, insight into where the country is going to be going. You know, what is the national priorities for China? Where do they wanna go? What do they wanna accomplish? I go back to the last five year plan. One of the most interesting goals that they said is they said, you know, we would like to actually increase the life expectancy of our citizens by one year. And that's an amazing goal, right, when you think about that. Think about the government saying, we want to make sure that our that our people are living longer. Well, how do they do that? Well, we wanna make sure that we're improving the air quality here in China. And so what you've seen is you know, and, I've I've been in China since 2007 where, again, I mean, some of the days there with the pollution were unbelievable. I've been in polluted days in Shanghai where, you know, you are a 100 meters from the traffic light, and you cannot see whether that traffic light is green or red because of how thick the pollution was. Woah. It was very, very crazy back, you know, twenty years ago. And, of course, you know, that's then China hosted the the Beijing Olympics in 2008. They really started to clean things up. Shanghai hosted the World Expo in 2010. And there's been a huge shift where they said, look. You know, we can't have this kind of quality of air this air quality, you know, because it it's obviously taking years off of our our citizens' lives. You know? We wanna improve that. That's a big part of that. And so they did. You know? They took systematic steps to reduce the air pollution, change how factories are building, change the the different types of electricity. So for example, twenty years ago, every single car on the road was gas, and it was a tremendous auto industry in China. Obviously, a lot of cars on the road contributes to a tremendous amount smog and, you know, pollute pollution. Well, now China is 60% electric vehicles. So 60% of cars on the road is electric. That has, you know, improved the quality of life in these major cities tremendously. You know, now go to the to the bigger cities like Shanghai, Beijing. I mean, it's remarkable how clean the streets are, how much less smog is there, how efficient things are going. So, again, you know, going back to these five year plans is amazing, but, you know, what's coming up right now in this next five year plan is AI. AI is is, you know, probably pretty much goal number one, saying that we're going to invest a lot into this. And there's also a strategic advantage because, you know, when you're looking at AI and you're and you're kind of training these large language models, you know, the learning language models, you know, you're you need a tremendous amount of data, and that's what China has. Right? When you have more people inputting, you have more data, it's able to actually you know, you know, you're actually able to develop that skill a lot faster, and the AI is able to become more advanced. And this is exactly what we saw, for example, when you look at TikTok. You know, how did TikTok rise so fast? And why is that algorithm so good? You know, why why is it so good? But because in China, they were able to really have so much more pieces of content funneling through that algorithm that they were actually able to develop a very curated algorithm that really just gave you the type of content that you really wanna see. And so, you know, it was just able to to, you know, actually produce an algorithm that was much more superior than your Instagram or Facebook. And this is why when they brought TikTok to The United States, it immediately, you know, became so popular here. You know? And it became much more popular than Facebook, for example, or, you know, even Instagram. And, you know, even now today in The United States, you know, if you're under the age of 30, you know, TikTok is, you know, very, very popular. And so, again, I think what you're seeing is, you know, Mike, is you're seeing a tremendous amount of investment. You're seeing a you know, really China realizing that the future is AI. But what's amazing is is, again, you we you know, we had talked about this before. In The United States, everything is about, you know, monetizing, trying to make it as profitable as possible possible. Whereas China says, hey. Guess what? We just built something called Deepsea. It's completely open source. It's open to anybody, and we've we've developed it for a few million dollars. As opposed to OpenAI who charges, you know, money every month for it to use, and, you know, it costs, you know, I don't know, hundreds of billions of dollars, you know, you know, over they've invested in that. And even Sam Altman has said to the point where, you know, we think that our model is gonna be so important for the future of the American economy, but we don't know if we're ever gonna reach to the point we're actually profitable. So we might need to bail out from the government. You know, he basically had alluded to the fact that Mhmm. OpenAI is going to need a government bailout and that the US government should bail it out because that's what's needed inside America. So it's kind of interesting. Like you had mentioned, you know, you can code with DeepSeek. You know, you can do all these fun things on these Chinese platforms, and it really is pushing the bounds of, you know, innovation. But that's something that we see China constantly doing, not just in AI, but many, many different industries. Write videos.

Clip of Aaron Day talking about the impact of technocracy, digital currencies and AI. Hint: It's a digital prison for humanity... https://t.co/61jkpij9Rw

Video Transcript AI Summary
People are not willing to study information, so they assume Trump’s executive order banning CBDCs means there’s nothing to worry about. The concern is that a “backdoor CBDC” could be implemented under a different name, such as the “genius act,” and people may not question it because it is framed as part of the U.S. leading in cryptocurrency. The biggest warning raised is DOGE. While people thought DOGE would cut costs by reducing 2,000,000,000,000 from the budget, the described goal was replacing parts of government with AI. The speaker points to the complexity of the tax code—16,000,000 words across about 75,000 pages—and asks whether AI should administer it. The concern includes Musk plugging Palantir into the IRS, making Palantir the vendor of choice for audit selections. This is described as a “Trojan horse” that consolidates power in the executive branch by reducing bureaucracies, ultimately functioning as a “Trojan horse for technocracy,” replacing bureaucracy with technocracy. The speaker says this results in a “three year acceleration.” A bill named the “Clarity Act” is presented as a major next step. The claim is that it will make everything people own “programmable,” “trackable,” and “sensible,” and that people think it is only a crypto bill when it will tokenize assets such as stocks, bonds, and a house while enabling centralized control. The speaker frames this as the most devastating spike needed for technocracy and asserts it supports the idea that people “own nothing” through digital tokenization and government tracking and control. Speaker 1 agrees that if tokenization is run by a centralized authority, centralized control over assets results, ending the premise of self-custody. They say centralized control would enable audits, automatic withdrawals from bank accounts for fines, and direct seizure of funds based on notices to banks. Speaker 1 cites a case where tens of thousands of dollars were taken from a woman’s bank account by the state of Oregon’s tax authorities even though she had never lived or worked in Oregon, arguing that such a system could scale with AI “with hallucinations and everything else on top.” In response, Speaker 0 says the solution is exiting the system quickly and that most people think of only one type of crypto. They compare this to AI: open-source AI versus “Open AI” or big tech AI as part of a control system. They state there is an inflection point and that voting will not fix Washington, emphasizing instead reallocating attention, energy, and money to exit. They also claim the Trump family and administration members like Howard Ludnick personally profit from these developments, describing it as a “creature from Epstein’s Island” scenario and saying it is happening openly.

Speaker 0: It's because people are not willing to look at the information or study the information. They they just assume if Trump passed, you know, an executive order saying there'll be no CBDCs that there's nothing to worry about. But if you do a backdoor CBDC and you call it the genius act and you claim that it's part of, you know, The US being the world leader in cryptocurrency, people don't question it. And so it's very hard to pierce through because these these are difficult topics for most people to understand anyway. Now you have to add another layer to the conversation, but I'll give you the one that was the biggest for me, which I warned people about from the very beginning was Doge. People thought, man, this sounds great. Doge is gonna come in and we're going to cut costs. Remember they were talking about cutting 2,000,000,000,000 from the budget? Good stuff. That wasn't the idea. The idea was to, you know, replace the government with AI, which that's a mixed bag. I'll give you an example. The tax code is 16,000 pages or excuse me. It's 16,000,000 words, 75,000 pages. Well, do you want an AI administering that tax code? Because now Musk has plugged Palantir in to the IRS and now Palantir is going to be the vendor of choice for doing selections for audit audits. That's not a good thing. So the big Trojan horse here was this idea of here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna consolidate power in the executive branch and we're gonna get rid of some of these bureaucracies and everybody got excited about it until well, most people still haven't realized it, but it was a Trojan horse for technocracy. They're replacing it with technocracy, and that's exactly what's happened. And so this is why I say it's a it's a three year acceleration and the worst part of it all is a bill that's about to pass. Hopefully, it won't, but, know, I'm not very optimistic. It's called the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act will take everything that you own and make it programmable trackable and sensible. People think that the clarity act is a crypto bill and and it's it it is in part, but it basically will allow them to tokenize your stocks, your bonds, your house, and have centralized control over it. And that's about to pass now. And to me, that is the the the most devastating that's kind of the last, you know, spike that they need for for technocracy. This is how you will own nothing is by token tokenizing it digitally and then giving the government the ability to track it and control it and program it. Speaker 1: And then, you're right. That that gives them centralized control over all of your assets. If you agree to tokenize everything, then you give up total control. And the whole idea of self custody that you and I have both attempted to champion for all these years, that's thrown out the window if the tokenization is run by a centralized authority, which which it would be in this case. And, of course, they would use that for audits. They would use that for automatic withdrawals from your bank account for fines. If they think you did something wrong, they just take the money out of your account. I saw a video from a woman the other day who, tens of thousands of dollars were just stolen out of her bank account. Turns out it was the state of Oregon. The tax authorities of the state of Oregon took money out of her account, but she had never lived or worked in Oregon. They got the wrong person, but they were able to just take the money because they sent a notice to the bank and took the money out. Imagine that powered by AI with hallucinations and everything else on top of it. They're just gonna be dragging money out of everybody's accounts. And the only way to be safe would be to have, you know, privacy crypto, self custody wallets, gold and silver off grid, things like that. That's where this is going. Speaker 0: Yeah. That remains the solution. What's difficult about this is most people, if you say crypto, they they only think of one type of crypto and so they may have a negative opinion of it. It's kind of like AI. Right? You can have an open source AI. That's wonderful or you can have open AI or a big tech AI and it's it, you know, it's it's the heart of a of a control system and the same is true with digital currencies. And so we're at an inflection point now, but we are very much at a point where people need to exit the system. There's you're not gonna vote your way out. I mean, I say that as somebody who's running for US Senate, but but that's for different reasons. Not not because I can get elected and fix Washington DC, but we have to vote with our attention, our energy, our money, and get out of the system very quickly because they're rolling this stuff out fast. Once clarity hits clarity plus Palantir and everything else, we're we're in trouble and the worst part about all this it to me is how the the Trump family is profiting off of this and and members of the administration like Howard Ludnick are personally profiting off of this. We're watching what I call the creature from Epstein's Island play out. We're witnessing a reenvisioning a new world order, but except that it's not happening in secret. It's happening right in front of us. We can see what's happening and and still no one's stopping it. Bright videos.

A clip of my recent segment with Alex Jones: The Superintelligence arms race https://t.co/JhUbG2Vuzp

Video Transcript AI Summary
Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) discusses how the amount of compute—and the energy required for that compute—is likely to increase dramatically, moving from “a hundred times” to “a thousand times” compared with current levels. He frames future computing as two simultaneous shifts: it will be intelligent and contextually aware with generative outputs, and it will be continuous rather than based on prerecorded retrieval that is initiated only when prompted. The discussion contrasts concerns about today’s AI being “backward looking” and copying previous work, potentially leading to feedback loops where people rely on AI and become stagnant without new regenerative creativity. Jensen Huang’s described future addresses this by arguing that software will not remain static code stored on a hard drive; instead, people will ask AI to write software in real time as needed (for example, generating a Photoshop clone to edit an image or generating an original movie tailored to a preference). Creating such continuous generative experiences is said to require a tremendous amount of energy—“a thousand times more” than today’s levels. Speakers note that existing energy sources cannot easily support this scale. The conversation states that it cannot be done on hydrocarbons, not even on nuclear due to long build-out time, and not on solar because current energy sources are insufficient. It also emphasizes efficiency: having the ability to use vastly more energy does not mean it should be used, and continuous regeneration is not always the more efficient approach. Speaker 0 then argues for limiting market cap and having these groups invest themselves without government backing or government liability protection, suggesting a free-market approach rather than government-directed competition framed as an arms race. Speaker 2 responds that pursuit of “superintelligence” requires centralized power and therefore cannot be decentralized. The conversation claims this centralized effort is being directed toward a quest for superintelligence connected to world domination and competition, particularly framed as an attempt to “beat China,” and concludes that once superintelligence is achieved, humanity’s fate would be in question.

Speaker 0: So here's the head of NVIDIA, mister Wong, talking about we need one but when I say a 100 times times. When I say a 100 times, that Schmidt a year ago at Stanford. Now it's a thousand times. Here it is. Speaker 1: Last last half decade, helping people understand the amount of compute that's likely to be coming. And I just told you guys something about how I reasoned through how much energy is gonna be necessary. The amount of energy that we need for compute for computing is likely, you know, probably a thousand times more than we currently have. And that's an enormous amount of energy. However, Speaker 0: the the Speaker 1: way to think about that is in the future, computers are gonna be two things. It's always gonna be generated because it's intelligent, it's con contextually aware, so it's gonna be generated. And then number two is gonna be continuous. And so you've got generative computing in a continuous way compared to prerecorded retrieval based computing that is only initiated on Speaker 0: What about this issue that AI is backward looking only on previous stuff, copying what humans did, narcissistically showing herself in the water, and they could be and then the problem of a feedback loop, as humans only begin to rely on AI, it actually stagnates us, and we don't have new regenerative creativity. Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, what Jensen Huang is is talking about there is that in the future, you won't run a piece of software that is static code that is on your hard drive. You will ask AI to write the software in real time as you need it. You'll say, write me a Photoshop clone because I need to edit an image, or you'll say, generate a movie. I wanna watch a movie this evening. I want it to be like Die Hard, but better than Die Hard three. And it'll generate a whole new movie, you know, to pay the royalties to all the actors that are used, etcetera. That kind of world will require a tremendous amount of energy. Like you said, a thousand times more energy than what we have today. The problem is we can't do that on hydrocarbons. We can't even do that on nuclear because the the build out time, it takes far too long. We can't do that on solar. We and the current energy sources that exist are not enough to power what he's talking about, and we need to think about efficiency in this too. Just because you can throw a thousand times more energy at AI compute doesn't mean you should. That you that just because you can have continuous regeneration of everything that you interact with in the world doesn't mean that you should. Sometimes it's a lot more efficient. Speaker 0: I was about to say it's why we need to put a market cap on it and make these groups invest themselves and not have government backing and not have government liability protection. It should be left to the free market instead of being directed as an arms race by governments. Speaker 2: Yeah. The the the one problem in all of is that it does require centralized power to to search for superintelligence. That cannot be decentralized, and that's what's happening right now is they're they're throwing humanity and the communities in America under the bus, and they're putting the resources, everything into this this quest for superintelligence for world domination to try to beat China. That's why this is being weaponized, and once once superintelligence is achieved, humanity's fate is really in question. Speaker 0: Bright videos.
