The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Herbal Medicine for Preppers: Another terrorist attack in NC and saw palmetto

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey y'all. Welcome this week's show. First of all, I apologize that it is late. It was absolutely out of my control. We seem to have had a small terrorist attack. Yeah. For most of the day, I had no internet. I had no phone. I had no, well, obviously television cable and all that. Not a big deal. Obviously, not a big deal. Gosh, I mean, you know, you know, know an ice storm or hurricane or knock stuff out about annually in North Carolina no matter what side of the state you're on but as as many of you know I have been dealing with a family issue in Moore County North Carolina now Moore County is right like I don't even know 20 minutes away from Fort Bragg it is the city where more military retired military officers live than anywhere else in the United States. It's because you're the home of golf in America. On any given day, the place is full of millionaires. President Trump has an interest in the golf course. I mean,

Starting point is 00:01:08 it's not a normal place. And I've had to spend a lot of time here over the past three, four years. That's why, you know, I had to quit doing plant walks, teaching herb classes in person, been invited to a lot of events, you know, to speak or to teach. And I've had to apply. And I've had to apologize and say, you know, I can't. I'm dealing with something. I'm not going to get in details, but I'm, it's, I'm dealing, I could do, well, let's just say me and my family could use some prayers. What we're dealing with is not good at all. And getting progressively worse, and it will get even worse until it's over. So I think you can fill in the blanks. But, you know, I was the only grandchild and the only child. I'm the one that has to, do when things have to be done and that's all there is to it and then of course last September on but just a few days more than a year ago this this week the hurricane just basically trash my house in up in the mountains I mean I still got no power or water so things have not been good I'm struggling I'm doing the best I

Starting point is 00:02:27 can but you know if you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed I've been a little down lately. Well, there's a reason. So, you know, prayers would be appreciated. And, you know, it is what it is. It is what it is. But in the years, I have had to come in and out and spend a lot of time, especially around holidays and such, in Moore County. There have been three terrorist attacks if today counts. seriously. I mean Thanksgiving like what two years ago I guess someone shot the power station put the entire county in a blackout in cold weather

Starting point is 00:03:10 and I mean it may not sound like a big deal and like I said we could have bad weather but this was an intentional act and there were issues at the hospitals and nursing homes you know people have to have electricity they had to get their generators going and everything

Starting point is 00:03:28 and some of the extended care communities. From what I understand, there were some deaths, so it was not, and people at home, you know, on oxygen and stuff, there were some deaths. And so it may not sound like a big deal, but it was an intentional act. And they don't, they still haven't found the culprit. They think the same person did some stuff out in Washington State and other places.

Starting point is 00:03:53 It seems to have been an intentional terrorist act. And that's the thing about North Carolina. Carolina, especially in a resort area like around Pinehurst, things don't really get reported on because they want to sell real estate and get people coming in for vacations. So like a nuclear bomb could go off and it probably wouldn't make the 6 o'clock news. And if you think I'm kidding, remember about I guess 20 years or so ago, there was this giant theft of dynamite in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, enough dynamite to blow up like 10 city blocks. And it never even made. the national news. This was like right after 9-11. This was, you know, I don't, to this day,

Starting point is 00:04:34 I'm not sure they've ever found it. I mean, North Carolina will sweep something under the rug, and the national news acts like we don't even exist except at election time. So anyway, after that legitimate terrorist attack on the electric grid in Moore County there was in the northern part of Moore County up around Carthage if memory serves a

Starting point is 00:05:05 like I said there are tons of veterans here tons just about everybody's either active duty or retired well a special ops guy I think he was retired see some if I remember correctly and and you know you'll have to double check me on this he saw a bunch of guys in like electric worker uniforms that did not seem to be with the power company and he started i guess filming him with

Starting point is 00:05:34 his camera and they tried to kill him they started shooting at him and it turned out they were a bunch of Muslim immigrants from a foreign country obviously from a Muslim nation here again the heart of military country up to something up to something and um the i mean it was reported on very briefly in local media uh they tried to shoot him and then they were found to have some storage buildings probably with some weapons in there but nothing else was ever reported you know you when you're in the county you know store or something you talk with somebody and they're like yeah You know, we had a terror cell right here in Moore County, North Carolina. And, you know, whatever happened, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:06:25 I don't know. It was never reported. There was no follow-up. That's pretty darn common around here. And then, yes, last night, somebody went and cut a fiber optic cable at like four in the morning. And here's the thing. It wasn't just like they cut a random fiber optic cable. it was in sort of like a hub from what I understand and it took out internet and phone and

Starting point is 00:06:56 new you know cable and all that for almost the entire county and seems to have crippled spectrum cables operations to a large extent in North Carolina in an area oh an hour out of Raleigh, an hour and a half out of Charlotte, and like 20 minutes out of Fort Bragg? Is something happening? I mean, at this point, you have to wonder, is there an organization feeling out the infrastructure? Because, I mean, this should be like the safest place in eastern United States, because this is literally where, like, millionaires and retired colonels and generals live. Walter Reed, you've heard of Walter Reed Hospital?

Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, he lived down here until recently. I think he passed away. If he's still alive, I'm sorry, you know, to the family. This is, I mean, this is like super, gosh, I mean, it's nothing to see motorcades. I mean, you get in here the most high-profile VIPs. in the entire United States. You know, this is, more county, Pioneers, North Carolina is on par with any of the top destinations in the world.

Starting point is 00:08:27 And, yeah, foreign dignitaries. I mean, yeah, there have been many times that there have been people in here, you know, politicians or royalty from other nations, U.S. Open, big, big things, right? And somebody can just go out and cut a fiber optic cable. Somebody can just go out and shoot at the power station and put the county out of power for a week and a half or so. Somebody can just go out and start shooting at a special forces vet and apparently may have had weapons in a storage facility

Starting point is 00:09:03 and they were foreign nationals. And it doesn't even make the statewide national news. Now, that ought to scare you. And what it really ought to do is, make you very aware it ought to make you very aware you don't know what's going to happen i mean told you before you know kid i went to high school with year or two older than me goes to an ATM pulls out 20 or 40 bucks somebody went and shot him in the head i mean you know um that was back in the 90s um recently on i 95 in eastern north carolina everybody's been on i 95 in eastern north carolina

Starting point is 00:09:44 going through Robeson County, Lumberton, somebody didn't like something, you know, somebody maybe unintentionally, unintentionally cut somebody off in traffic. They opened fire and just shot and killed the mother and, you know, it was horrible. You never know when something like that's going to happen. So I really want to, before I get into the herbs, and I will talk about an herb today, I promise this will be an herbal podcast. It's going to be a short one, though, because I'm exhausted. you never know what could happen you don't know when the power's going to go out you don't know

Starting point is 00:10:24 I mean okay so today okay they just kind of fiber optic cable you know what I got my cell phone we did at least have cell coverage nothing other than that even though they're like two competing cable companies down here none of them seem to have any kind of internet access even on your cell phone I called down to the grocery store, a local grocery store. And I said, you know, I know we're having an issue with cable outages and such. I just wanted to make sure you could process credit and debit card payments. And they said, no, we can't.

Starting point is 00:10:56 He said, we can take cash. And he said, but, you know, you can't get cash from an ATM machine right now. So if you got cash in your pocket, you can come down and get some groceries. He said, they thought they were going to get their credit card system online. but the debit card system was down. So, I mean, it seems like nothing, right? But I imagine if they couldn't process cards at the grocery store, and this is a major chain,

Starting point is 00:11:27 they probably couldn't process them at the gas station. Were people able to get gasoline to put in their cars? If someone's driving and they ran out of gas, were they stranded? You know, you've got to be ready for stuff like this. And, you know, a job. rest myself in a chair and get a sip of water I tell you this has been tiring mainly because it's cumulative I've been through situations before when a hurricane's come in powers out you couldn't use an ATM you couldn't use the gas pumps

Starting point is 00:12:03 you had to pay cash for everything you know learn my lessons a hard way in many many instances I do a lot of my content for so-called preppers and I think preppers get a bad reputation in the news media in popular culture like you're looking for the zombie apocalypse or you think you're you're gonna have to fight a war with the government it's gonna you know preppers aren't you know most people are just like me in the prepper communities they've been through a hurricane they've through an ice storm or they've been out of work for a while and they realize that something can happen at any time and you need to store some food some store some water some medications

Starting point is 00:12:52 have fuel to heat your home just real practical stuff my point to you is you never know when it's going to happen and one thing i'm going to start doing with my youtube channel is i'm going to call it Judson Carroll Bushcraft and Woodcraft. I'm not going to call it prepper, prepping, because YouTube could flag it. You know, YouTube's not a, I don't, anything associated with the conservative movement,

Starting point is 00:13:23 let's put it that way. And prepping does tend to be, even though there are many liberal preppers, it's not, you know, exclusive to any ideology or people in the middle that just don't have an opinion whatsoever. Tends to get associated with like fringe, right-wing stuff. Honestly, we've got to be a lot more concerned about fringe left-wingers these days than we have anybody on the right.

Starting point is 00:13:46 But YouTube tends to limit availability to certain content. I experienced that during the COVID lockdown. I mean, they went after me for just, I can't remember if it was YouTube or Facebook, but they went after me for just making fun of Dr. Fauci. You know, I've been there before. So I'm not going to call this like something for preppers, even though I do a podcast through the Prepper Broadcasting Network called Herbal Medicine for Preppers. I'm going to call it Judson Carroll Woodcraft and Bushcraft. And it's going to, I've already put a couple videos up, even before this happened, just about

Starting point is 00:14:29 certain basic survival things I carry in my pockets on a daily basis, you know, like a pocket knife. Yeah, pocket knife comes in handy for like a thousand things. a cigarette lighter or a ferro rod some water purification tablets maybe you haven't thought of that before but what if you're stuck out on the road what if your vehicle breaks down what if you're stuck in a snowstorm and um that's happened an ice storm and that's happened to me before uh i could have gotten some heat to melt snow to have water to drink or i could go to a creek and get some water and put in an iodine tablet or a chlorine tablet you know those are things that a lot of people don't think about an

Starting point is 00:15:10 emergency mylar space blanket anyway i mean that'll save your life i mean you can do a million things with a milar space blanket they cost about three dollars they fit in your pocket and you just unfold it it will hold in your body heat it will save you from shock it'll keep you from going into hypothermia you can use it as emergency shelter you can see it's shiny you can signal for help with it i mean just little things i just like put in my pockets so check that out my youtube channel and like i said it's under judson carroll woodcraft and bushcraft because i'm also going to do what we call more woodcrafty type things i'm going to show you how to carve spoons and make baskets and it's all going to be very practical it's not like zombie

Starting point is 00:15:53 apocalypse stuff but i think it's really really important because you never know i woke up this morning I was actually up to 3 a.m. dealing with stuff last night issues and I woke up this morning about 10 o'clock I thought you know I'll check the news and maybe I can get to mass and turned on the TV and it didn't come on went to call the cable company and there's no dial tone pulled up the internet there's no internet cell phone only had like three bars so So I was lucky to even be able to use that. And, you know, if it had been a hurricane, the cell towers would have been down. And, I mean, all that could have happened in the blink of an eye, but at least I would have had a little warning.

Starting point is 00:16:44 You just never know. That's why, I mean, to me, it's so important to know herbal medicine to take care of yourself. I mean, literally even here in, like, the most unnatural environment I can tell you, it's nothing but golf courses and manicured blunts. There are pine trees. I can stop bleeding if I need to. I can disinfect a wound. I can treat a sore throat. There's oak trees. I can stop diarrhea. There's sassafras. There's prickly pear cactus. I mean, just look. There's a daisy fleabane, a richaron. Excellent for so many uses. Mullen grows just about everywhere around here. You know, there's probably, there's dogwood that would help with a fever and tulip poplar. Ditto. Antiviral property.

Starting point is 00:17:31 I mean, knowing, having a working knowledge of herbal medicine means that wherever I am, I have the medicine I need at hand. Now, if I was in a really extreme environment or a very foreign environment, I'd have to learn the plants in that area. But 99% of the time, wherever I am, I can find the medicine I need at hand. You really do also need to prioritize, remember, shelter, because you can. die of exposure faster than anything except first aid i mean you can bleed out or have diarrhea that'll kill you but um you know i just said that in herbal medicine next to that was his shelter and then fire to stay warm or to signal for help or to cook food or to sterilize water

Starting point is 00:18:18 then water because you can go longer without food than you can water and then food and you know you get those basic things down and you don't have to think well i'm going to be stuck in the woods To me, you know, that's my default because I spent most of my life in the woods. I mean, I love to hike and hunt and fish and, you know, a whole bit. I love to be in the woods. But even at home, stored water, stored food, fuel, a backup way to have heat, a backup way to cook. These are very, very practical, very, very practical things. You know, a knife to cut things, blankets, candles, a radio.

Starting point is 00:18:57 I mean, these are things you need. Yeah, so, you know, there's only cable here. So I needed to know about the news. I found an old battery-operated radio. Well, I mean, it had plugged too. So I plugged it in. We didn't lose power. In the past, I've had to use batteries, of course.

Starting point is 00:19:13 So that's in my mind. I'm still in the mountains where when anything happens, the power goes out. But no, the power stayed on here. So I plugged it in. I found a local channel. But you know what? It was Sunday. Good luck on getting any live.

Starting point is 00:19:29 news on a Sunday, especially a Sunday morning. It's pretty pathetic, actually. So I had to wait until in the afternoon and I could get just a few little updates, but really it was more using the cell phone. And I was able to call somebody who could go to the website. You know, they keep, it's ridiculous. If you call in to the cable company and you say my cable's out, they say go to our website and check for updates. Well, you can't do that when the Internet's out. And there's like, I mean, even the cell phone is not connecting to the Internet. Whatever towers were down, you know, they must have been on the same network. I had to find somebody I could call or send a text to to check a website to send me a message to tell me, you know, expect of how the communications basically to be back up by 6 p.m. That was cool. You know, wasn't that way two years. ago when they shot out the power station and everything was down for a week and a half and we're

Starting point is 00:20:35 just sitting you know in a dark house with daytime temps getting up to about 40 degrees and nighttime tips getting into the 20s furnace won't work electric lights won't work you know I grew up this way so I had battery operated radio battery operated lantern battery operated battery operated battery operated probably something else something was a flashlight of course I had candles get those big prayer candles you're the ones that have like a Catholic image on there they'll burn for like 12 hours get some get some little tea candles even those help stern ovule I keep things like this on hand some stored food some you know smoke sausage and beans and very onions and various things you know you can

Starting point is 00:21:27 throw together and make a meal for a few days and fortunately we had a gas fireplace so we were fine other people were not other people died so i just you know always want to say be prepared have three to five ways to do everything you need i'm serious you if you got matches to start a fire that's great what if it's windy and what um have a cigarette lighter have a ferro rod have a magnifying lens a fresnel lens you know whatever have five ways to start a fire that's great what if it's windy and wet um have a cigarette lighter have a ferro rod have a magnifying lens a fresnel lens you know whatever have five ways to start a fire have three to five ways to get water if possible that would be my word this leather chair is squeaky that would be nearly impossible in

Starting point is 00:22:11 Moore County because the the the water is not clean the ponds the creeks the rivers are absolutely fouled with runoff from both both runoff from golf courses and landscaping but also there's there was a chemical weapons plant here that became a superfund site and I mean it's really deadly they don't tell you about that either but so what would come down to water in I mean if you didn't have municipal you'd have to rely on rain water that's crazy I mean you can't predict when it's going to rain so I you know I told my relative let's store you know at least five gallons of water In case the power goes out, in case there's flooding from a hurricane, you know, just have five gallons of water.

Starting point is 00:23:02 And, you know, no big deal to take up a lot of room. Think of a head about things like that. Just, it's not paranoid to prepare for an unlikely scenario. These days, I mean, after the shooting on I-95, I mean, I'm the most docile driver you can imagine. I don't do anything to upset anybody if things might happen I might have a certain weapon in my pocket and a nightstick, a billy club under the seat

Starting point is 00:23:37 you know I'm prepared and it's because it has happened it's not unreasonable I really avoid ATMs after what happened to the kid I went to school with have for decades you can go to the grocery store

Starting point is 00:23:53 the post office or something and get cash back i if i can help it do not wish to pull up to an ATM at a bank if i do i look to see who's around i try to do things quickly and officially and get out of there as quickly as it can you know you may think that's paranoid but you know literally senior in high school walked up to an ATM goes but brain's blown out for 20 or 40 bucks you just you don't know you just never know and you know as human beings the normalcy bias says that tomorrow is going to be like today and that's the only way we survive in this world but we also have a logical mind and it's a good thing just to think you know maybe I need to stock up on this is there a medication I need on a reticular basis maybe I need to get a little extra of it and just

Starting point is 00:24:47 stick it back you know some things you have to put in the freezer or other things are fine just in the medicine cabinet right uh do i need some band-aids do i need some alcohol do you know are there a few things i need if i can't get them you know during the pandemic the ridiculous thing was toilet paper everybody went out and bought up all the toilet paper and then there was no more toilet paper for a few weeks until they restocked and everybody was freaking out you know probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean, you never know if that's going to happen again. Next time you go to the store,

Starting point is 00:25:21 two packs of toilet paper and stick one back. Don't put off common sense things. Never let your vehicle get below a quarter of a tank of gas, ever. And certainly you probably can't keep it in a full tank. Good if you can. When you hit a half tank, go refuel. that's just a habit you get into that and you never have to worry like I was I don't know 10 20 years ago when the hurricane came in and knocked everything out and I had to go from one side

Starting point is 00:25:58 of the state to the other and the gas stations were closed that was bad that was really bad I had to take some cans of beans and soup and such and go to a grocery store and return them for cash and then go pay for gas, which the gas was going up by the minute, you know, an emergency gas will double in price in the blink of an eye because of demand and also because of, you know, price gouging. You know, I literally had to cash in some antique silver coins that I had been saving that I had inherited just to put 20 bucks worth of gas in the tank. and I'm talking like $400 worth of coins and an emergency became $20 worth of coins.

Starting point is 00:26:49 So don't think when they're on television tell you, you know, buy silver, buy gold, buy Bitcoin or something like that. When the power's out and there's an emergency, things are worth what somebody's willing to pay for them. And I got ripped off, I got screwed horribly. But I had no choice. I had to get from one side of the state to the other because of a family issue.

Starting point is 00:27:11 and I didn't have cash on me that's you know God willing never going to happen again put some gas in your tank put some dollar bills in your pocket and don't think I'm safe because I've got gold sitting in an account somewhere that I've never even seen you know most people don't buy physical gold they have certificates saying that someone else is holding that gold for them that's worthless in a in emergency. I mean, that's less than worthless in emergency. That's a liability in emergency because you want to

Starting point is 00:27:47 protect, you want somebody else to get that account number and all that kind of thing. But even physical precious metals and such, pretty much worth pennies on the dollar in an actual grid now situation. You need to have real folding money, dollar bills,

Starting point is 00:28:06 tens, 20s, whatever. If you don't have cash, forget it you can't buy a bottle of water you can't buy a gallon of gas you better have some cash on you and if they ever get rid of cash we are in big trouble we're in huge trouble because you're not going into 7-11 or a grocery store and bartering with a gold coin not going to happen I mean, legally, they're not even allowed to take them as currency, but even so, they're going to give you pennies on a dollar. I mean, you will walk in there with $500 worth of gold and walk out with $5 worth of gas and a bag of chips.

Starting point is 00:28:55 Don't ever get suckered into that complete, utter bullshit that is marketed by most. conservative outlets gold may be a wonderful hedge for a long-term investment you need cash and if you don't have cash you need something you can trade you know I remember when I was down at Athens Georgia this was way back around year 2000 or so there was a bad ice storm powers out for a while you know what people did they traded cigarettes smart people who didn't even smoke went out and got cartons of cigarettes the day of the storm because they've been through it before they knew what was to expect they bought cigarettes and they bought liquor and these are these were non-smokers and non-drinkers why because three days later they need food they needed anything you can think of to survive and they could take a pack of cigarettes and they could go to down the street to their neighbor whatever or a bottle of whiskey or whatever cheap vodka it doesn't matter and they would trade that for what

Starting point is 00:30:13 they needed those were very smart people i learned that back in i don't even know 19901 somewhere in that era you may remember the the big snowstorm the snowmageddon or something came through there i think that was a couple years later actually this was an ice storm but yeah common sense black white rural city people first thing they did was buy all the cigarettes and alcohol they could get not because they were going to use it but because they could trade it in an emergency situation you can't eat a dollar bill if someone's willing to take cash that's great they're going to take cash far more likely than they're going to take credit but you can certainly trade for something to eat and if you got some

Starting point is 00:31:04 that wants to have a drink or a smoke the old trade if they're used to it maybe even addicted sorry you know you can deal with that later but right now if you need a cigarette or you know glass of vodka hey you got some dry beans on you you got some salt I mean you need salt to live you know never forget that always store salt and store water and store some oil, some kind of fat, and then, you know, add into that your carbs and your protein, because those salt water and fats are essential for survival. You cannot live without them, regardless what Ivey tells you.

Starting point is 00:31:47 But yeah, be very practical in that regard. You know, day four, day five, day seven, day 13, you start seeing some things you don't want to see. people robbing and stealing attacking other people selling themselves on the street yeah I mean very quickly you will see prostitutes that were never prostitutes before are now out on the street and all they had to do was go buy two cartons of cigarettes

Starting point is 00:32:25 something to think about maybe a little unpleasant to think about but I've been through it been through it too many times been through I even know how many hurricanes I don't even know how many hurricanes in 48 years how many ice storms how many snow storms and now three terrorist attacks back to back in three years and what are the odds that I would have been they always seem to happen on a Saturday night in the fall you know maybe law enforcement on a look at that all right y'all so a little bit on herbs. I'm just going to do Prickly Pear. No, I'm sorry, I'm going to do Sable Palmetto.

Starting point is 00:33:07 This is not a plant that likely grows in your area. It does grow in the coastal swamps of North Carolina, but you'd barely ever see it really until you hit about Beaufort, South Carolina, where there was a mass shooting last night. So again, these people went out to a restaurant or a bar, and didn't come home. You cannot predict anything. You have to be aware of your surroundings, the people you're around. I mean, Southport, North Carolina, and barely what, two weeks ago? Some nut just pulls up in, I mean, sails up, I guess, in his boat and opens fire on a bar.

Starting point is 00:33:51 I don't know. I don't know. Things are, you know, that's a, you know, that's, one not only can you not predict things are going from bad to worse and sometimes it's politically motivated sometimes just a lunatic and sometimes there may be some psychological programming that has happened I don't think it's a coincidence that so many of these mass shooters whether they were liberals or who knows what their politics were transgendered or not I mean really a lot of them have been veterans

Starting point is 00:34:27 I mean, I suspect strongly that there has been some infiltration in the psychological health aspect of some veteran services. Can I prove that? No. But there does seem to be a pattern. And while I have the utmost respect for our military, it's also very regimented and could easily be infiltrated by someone with bad intentions if they wanted to and you get a bunch of people with PTSD and put them on psychological drugs and antipsychotics and antidepressants and put them through all kinds of behavioral training and counseling if the wrong person had hold of those controls it could be really bad and I'm not. sure that hasn't happened so i mean that's just another but see the thing is at the end of the day we can't control any of it and where i'm going to tell you to be prepared with herbal medicine

Starting point is 00:35:38 and i may tell you to keep your pantry stocked and some water stored you also need to be spiritually prepared no one knows when their time's going to come you know i also do a podcast called the uncensored Catholic. I have a second newsletter. So every morning I send out what I call gospel reflections. There are the mass readings of the day. One excerpt, usually the gospel, sometimes something from the Old Testament, but you know usually the gospel, occasionally a psalm, whatever the mass readings are for the day, and I give you my commentary. You know, I'm not going to preach at you. but I would at least encourage you to take a look at it.

Starting point is 00:36:29 See what you think. Send me an email if you can't find it. Judson at Judson Carroll.com, Southern Appalachian herbs at gmail.com. But you should be able to find it. Maybe knowing that any minute our number could come up, you want to take a look at things and try to set them in order. That's all I'm saying.

Starting point is 00:36:52 That's all I'm going to say. but that's another aspect of preparedness. Now, sable palmetto or palmetto, there are four varieties that have been found useful in herbal medicine. Scrub palmetto, Mexican palmetto, bush palmetto, and cabbage palmetto.
