The Prepper Broadcasting Network - I AM Liberty: WW3 Simulation or Certain? w/ Drew Miller

Episode Date: March 21, 2024

You're listening to PBM. You're playing back the stability here. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death. Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of U.S. troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently.

A development that can further escalate mounting tensions with China. The move comes as China continues to assert its disputed claim over Taiwan, viewing it as a renegade province despite never having ruled it. Antony. Antony at it again. Antony Blinken this week issued an ironclad warning to China as tensions between the two nations rise closer to home. A poll found Biden and Trump neck and neck in the race to win the White House. And yesterday, who is what? How is that? Who was polled? And yesterday, Trump warned the EU countries that NATO won't be protected if he's re-elected, unless they pay up in the further signs of global tensions. Wowee. PBN Family, what is up?

Daily Express US, this article's coming from. This is not some conspiracy rag on the internet. This is top of the hill, top of the of the wall dash away dash away all the drudge report.com world war three watch u.s troops taiwan on china border uh wait do we i mean what else can we do what else should we do the houthis are firing cruise missiles Into Israel The first one hit two days ago I don't know if you heard me on that On PBN Daily News Everybody's sitting around going

Is there going to be a World War 3? I've been telling you for a while We're in it baby We're in it It's happening I can't imagine historians looking back on this time And being like Saying anything otherwise

So the question of course is The question I have for you the PBN audience Donald Trump's Clearly the greatest threat to the entire Universe that has ever existed. And because the lunatic left wing believes that, are they willing to kick World War III off in rocket hot fashion in order to keep Joe Biden in and Donald Trump out?

That's the question I have for you tonight, PBN family. Because to me, well, I've told you for years now, because they told me years and years ago, there used to be a group out there called By Any Means Necessary. This is like at the very beginning of all this crazy uh protesting and um university protests and all that kind of stuff there used to be a group i don't know if they're around anymore but they were bam they were bam they were called bam by any means necessary and what i've watched uh this this cultural war become particularly on the side of the left, has been just that, by any means necessary. By any means necessary, we will keep Donald Trump out of office. By any means necessary, we'll save the planet from the evil humans. By any means necessary, we'll protect the Palestinians from Israel. I mean, their methods suck so far,

but would you put it past the administration that you can't really put anything past these days? Would you put it past them to kick a real hot war off with China? Not for the sake of the Taiwanese people, but so that Biden could get up and say, listen, we got Israel. We got what's happening in the Red Sea.

We got Russia and Ukraine. We got China and Taiwan. I think it'd be best if I stay in power. I could see it. It's about the only way he's going to be kept in power, really, if you ask me. I mean, the way things are going in this country, I can't—they keep telling you polls, polling data is in, and it's neck and neck, Donald Trump, Joe Biden. Come on. So, in the face of World War III, with American troops on the ground permanently in Taiwan, whatever that means.

What does permanently mean? Permanently, like forever? What happens when they die? Replaced. Okay. In light of all that, we're lucky enough tonight to have Drew Miller with us, the man behind the Fortitude Ranch. Many of you, most of you by now, know about Fortitude Ranch.

If you don't know about Fortitude Ranch, plug that into Google and go check out what is the coolest survival or collection of survival communities in the nation. I mean, there's none better. There's none more affordable. And I don't know the inner workings of other ones, but I know a lot about how these are run. And if I had to guess, I'd say there's probably none better prepared for the momentous task, right? The monumental task of bringing a survival community together in the worst of times. As of late, I've been talking to you guys about Drew's incredible app, Collapse Survivor. If you haven't heard my full review on Collapse Survivor, the podcast, it's, I don't know,

maybe five or six shows back. Check it out. I mean, we're going to talk about it tonight, but this thing's got a lot going on, and I want to talk to Drew about it and sort of his motivations and all that. Drew Miller, are you with us? Yes, Jim. Glad to be on your show. I appreciate you coming on tonight, man, onto the I Am Liberty show. It's rare we have a guest on the I Am Liberty show, so I'm glad it's you. How do we stop World War III, man? Well, you don't know what's going to start it.

I mean, we track over 50, we call them trigger events, and certainly China invading Taiwan, that's a classic that's on there. But I tell our members that, you know, there's a good chance that the thing that kicks off the next collapse is something, you know, just that is the lesson. I mean, World War I was started by the assassination of a Serbian archduke. I mean, no one could have guessed that, but things can escalate out of control. And, you know, you could have something started that triggers a collapse you would never know about. 2011, they had that in the United Kingdom, as a matter of fact. There was an incident with the policemen in London, and people started rioting there, breaking into stores, violence all over London. Brits got up the next day, and they said, what in the hell was that? What started that? We don't know.

And then that night, second night, looting and attacks on businesses and police stations, police stations were burned down, started all over London. I'm sorry, all over the United Kingdom in several cities. This went on for four nights. And they only stopped it because they mobilized all the police, finally shut it down. And then the London School of Economics did a major study to find out, hey, what caused this? And their conclusion was nothing caused it. No, it just started it just started i know and that and you know and people in preppers people who watch your show

we understand that we've known it for years that all you got to do is get a lot of people protesting yeah please get overwhelmed you can start looting the looting can escalate and law and order can break down sure and so that's kind of the reason we got into this Collapse Survivor app is we've got seven locations now across the U.S. And we've always had plans to alert our members if there's something developing where you say, hey, you need to get to Fortitude Ranch. Things are going bad quickly, like, you know, H5N1 is starting to spread in Vietnam. Well, if they detect it in Vietnam, odds are it's already here. They just don't know about it. So anyway, we're going to do this by text and phone calls and emails.

And we told our members, hey, if we can't get communication out to you to tell you there's a collapse coming, that's your clue. But we came up with the idea that, you know, why don't we use an app to get the alert out? And that was not quite a year ago. And that's how this thing developed. But it's gone way, way beyond that. The Collapse Survivor app does give you the real no shit, something bad is happening. You need to prepare, bug out, whatever your plan is.

It gives you those threat alerts. And for that reason alone, it's a hugely valuable. And I've always felt guilty about, hey, I'm warning my Fortune Ranch members. But, you know, the rest of you threat alerts. And for that reason alone, it's a hugely valuable. And I've always felt guilty about, hey, I'm warning my 14 ranch members, but the rest of you can die. I'm not going to give you the alert. I always felt guilty about it. So now if you've got the app, you get the exact same alert that our 14 ranch members get. And when we give you the alert, we're watching all the time for stuff, but there's odds are we will be giving you the alert hours and possibly days before the government does, because before the government gives you alert, they're going to be awful careful to make sure that, you know, it's approved by the top people.

They had that false alert in Hawaii a couple of years ago. They're scared to death of doing a false alert. So by time the government's official broadcasting alert comes out, odds are it's something you should have been acting on hours ago. So we will give you that alert. And the app's just 30 days free, $10 a year. Those threat alerts alone make the app a fantastic buy. But the other thing we've got on this app that's important for preppers is, well, two things, several things beyond it.

But one is a place to record your stuff. There's a stockpile function in there. And, you know, we have all the pledges in the world that we're not going to sell your data or use your data. And frankly, I don't think anyone really cares how many beans you've got stored in wherever your location is. But you can keep track of your food. Expiration dates go in there if you want to be alerted that something's expiring. You can put your guns in there or not. Some preppers say, there's no way in the world I'm going to record my guns. Don't then. You don't have to. But there's

a lot of medical supplies, antibiotics. You may want to know that, hey, you know, we all realize that expiration date doesn't mean it's worthless, but you may want to know that, hey, you know, my ampicillin is actually three years old now. Maybe I should consider replacing that because it is hard to keep track of all your stuff. But I think the most valuable part of the Collapse Survivor app is the weekly simulations we do. And I used to be an Air Force intelligence officer, and I wrote command, we called them command post exercises. They're probably better known as tabletop exercises where we simulate a war coming. You know, you get messages coming in and they're simulates messages saying that, hey, you know, so-and-so country is starting to do this.

Looks like a war could be developing. Then the war starts. And you basically, as a headquarters, you plan what would I do? What alerts would I give? What alerts would I give? What actions would I take to prepare? And then how would I fight the conflict? And how would I recover from it? And so that's basically the inspiration for this.

They're six-day long, military-style, hyper-realistic scenarios. There's no walking dead zombie apocalypse stuff in this. They're very realistic scenarios. And the purpose of them is to give you training. When they start, the next one will start Monday at 1300 UTC time. When that starts, you don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, we don't tell you what's going to happen. That's deliberate because you don't know what's going to happen. So we want to simulate and give you practice in, you know, stuff starting to happen.

Some false reports will be in there. I guarantee that you'll get some misleading information. But eventually you'll figure out that, hey, I think the grid's under attack. I think the grid really is going down. And then you have your initial decisions. Are you going to bug out? Do you want to run to the grocery store? And then you go all the way through the collapse.

So the next day, Tuesday, when you make up, it may be the next day, it could be on Wednesday, you know, three weeks have passed. You're dealing with a different phase of the collapse and the survival decisions you got to go through. So it's just hyper realistic. Some of them are fun. I mean, a lot of them are, you know, so the first one we did was an H5N1 pandemic. That's not fun. lot of them are, you know, so the first one we did was an H5N1 pandemic. That's not fun. Those things are going to last for over a year. And most people are going to die of either, well, if you're in a city and you don't get out of there and you try to stay, you're probably going to die from dehydration or drinking bad water. But if you get out of there, you're probably going to die of either starvation or marauder threats.

And so that's what you've got to deal with. So you enter your actual preparations. And so, you know, if you've got 200 days of food or the ability to farm and grow your own food, you may be in good shape. If you've got two weeks or two months and it's a pandemic or a third scenario was a-down situation, you are probably going to starve to death, assuming a marauder doesn't kill you first. So that's what this offers, is the real threat alerts, a place to keep your information on your stored supplies, and then the funnest thing is the six-day long simulations. And I should mention, after they're over on Saturday night,

we do a podcast to talk about lessons learned, and then we send out a lessons learned report. A little after action. Yeah, you went quickly over. I wanted to explain this to the listening audience because you did a really good job with the stock, add stock card in the stockpile function. function you got category subcategory manufacturer quantity uh dop doe purchased from cost cost is an interesting one uh storage location and notes in every one of those cards for everything that you add to your stockpile in the 10 categories it's nice it's a really nice way to do things, man. I like the detail that you put into the stockpile method. I don't know, you know, how it'll fare in the prepper community, but if people choose to use it, they're going to get a lot out of it for sure, because it's just so

much information you can put in there. Yeah, and there's just, you know, when you get stuff stockpiled, you know, your typical prepper, you know, God, I can't remember how many rounds of.223 I've got. You buy more and you just lose track of stuff. So it's just kind of a nice place to have it. And then you could be out somewhere, you know, hey, there's a sale on 12-gauge number eight shot and, you know, I can't remember what I've got, but there's a seal here. Well, it's on your phone. If you've entered it, it's on your phone. So you can look it up and

find out that, you know, what it is you need. So that's pretty handy. But again, it's really, it's the real threat alerts are the major advantage you're going to get out of this app. And then for education, the simulations are good. And I'm sure a lot of your audience has the same trouble I do. I mean, you try to convince someone who's not a prepper that they need to prepare. And it's like talking to a brick wall most of the time. But you could persuade them. Yeah, that's true. The latest I saw is that now they're estimating up to one third of Americans are now preppers. But still, most people don't want to think about it and so you can but if there's

someone you really do care about and really do want to be prepared you can say look this app is dirt cheap it'll give you alert warnings that could save your life but there's some simulations you got to try it just for fun just try it see if it interests you and i think for tons of people they'll find it interesting i I mean, they're short messages and they're interesting stuff. There are educational, especially, you know, there's earlier ones that will come out. You know, they'll mention that, hey, there's concern about nanotechnology and how this spreading, self-replicating little thing that they're releasing now to clean up oil spills. There's concern that after it's done eating up the

carbon in the oil spill, now it washes ashore. And what if it starts eating up other carbon plants and keeps spreading and there's no way to stop it? You know, people are really concerned about it. So you'll hear about the threats. I said, we track over 50 and with new technology, they're coming out every day. I could kill you, you know, a dozen different ways with artificial intelligence. And I don't mean what everyone thinks about when they think about AI threats. Terminator. They think about that. That's not the threat from artificial intelligence. This is really an educational program. I'm not going to tell you what the upcoming scenarios are, but I'll give you a heads up. Artificial intelligence can be misused in a lot of ways.

I'll give you two quick examples. Let's say I'm a terrorist, I'm Al-Qaeda, and I want to develop a nuclear weapon. Using centrifuges and the 1940s technology is not a good way to do it. It's expensive. You start buying, you know, the, not the incubators, the spinning things, centrifuge, centrifuge. You start buying those and, you know, red flags will go up all over the place. They're going to be looking at you and people know that. So it's really hard to do. But artificial intelligence learns stuff. So you could take the computers.

And if you're a big terrorist organization, got the money, you start studying, how could I enrich uranium? And so you have the artificial intelligence computers study everything about the material, how to handle it, every bit of information that's ever been written on uranium and processing, and from that, and how you make nuclear weapons, and you just tell it. Figure out a new way to enrich uranium to make a nuclear weapon. And my bet is the computer is going to come up with it. That's the advantage of AI. Change uranium now to drugs.

We are using artificial intelligence like mad now, companies all over the world to develop better drugs. all over the world to develop better drugs. So what if a bad guy, let's say it's a biologist who is concerned that there's too many people and we're warming the planet, we're killing off other species, we're ruining the world. So I need to develop a virus to kill off most of humanity to save the planet. So what do I do? I get artificial intelligence, the same one that's now looking to develop a good drug. Only I don't tell it, hey, develop a better way to detect and fight this type of cancer. I say develop the best way possible to modify H5N1 to make it human-to-human contagious and highly lethal. Go. So that's how artificial intelligence is going to kill us off. And it can use so many different means.

So it's not that the computers are being bad. It's not about naughty robots. It's about bad people misusing technology to kill people. And you cannot name, I challenge you, Jim, name me any technology in the history of our species that hasn't been used for bad purposes. That's a tough one. I don't think you'll find an answer of anyone that'll fit. So artificial intelligence, there's just dozens and dozens of ways. It's going to cause a huge disaster and kill off event.

And so you need to be a preparer. You need to be prepared for no food production, no economy operating, no loss, you know, no law and order. You're on your own. Yeah, we call that alternative everything. Building your alternative to essentially everything you depend on day to day because, you know, we're all in that same headspace. I think most recently what we're concerned about is just this seems to be almost an inevitable slow slog into some duration of off-grid life. Even if it's not nuclear bombs going off, it just seems to me that one day, be it terrorism within the country, war, whatever it is, it just seems to me that one day the lights are going to go out and they're going to be out for a long, long time. Yeah.

Along with everything else, you know what I mean? We just did a grid down simulation. Yeah, I did it. I was killed pretty quickly. It can happen. And there's also luck involved in this, so don't feel bad. You know, you could be a great prepper, but if a big-ass marauder group rolls up on you, and you're

not lucky, you could get killed. So there isn't... You have to make decisions throughout the simulation. And they're timed, which was brilliant, by the way. A lot of our time, because that's the reality of it. And so there's a good chance. Well, I'll give you an example.

Here's one. So your neighbor, you haven't heard from your neighbor in weeks. You don't think they're there. And they've been gone since the thing started. You think, you know, they may not have been there when the collapse starts. They could have a lot of food in their kitchen. I'm likely going to starve to death. Do I want to go into my neighbor's house to get the food?

Well, if you make the decision to go in, you know, most of the time you'll go in there and you'll come back with food and they'll up your, the app keeps track of your food and water use. It'll up it for you, you know, you succeeded. But for a certain percent, and it's higher in urban areas than it is in, you know, if you're like a areas than it is in, you know, if you're like a rural area, if you, you know, for some people who go in there, the neighbor is not gone. They're hiding out in the basement and they shoot you when you come into the house because,

you know, they think you're a marauder. Pretty understandable. There is a chance element in there, but that was a grid down scenario we did from the cyber and the physical attack that went in. But as you know grid down scenario we did from the cyber and the physical attack that went in. But as you know, EMP could take down the grid, solar flares could take down the grid. And just, you know, the cascading errors were, you know, there's a lightning strike in Canada. And all of a sudden, it's spread and taken out the big, the big, having a word trouble again, not the capacitors, not the generators, transformers. It takes out transformers all over the Northeast.

That happened. It was over a decade ago. It hit an Ontario lightning strike, and it sent power surges down the line into the next grid, blew up transformers. They sent power surges onto the next part. And we had something like 60 million people out of electricity from one lightning strike. That's how fragile our electric rate is. And everyone knows it. You were just talking about China, Taiwan. Well, here's a plausible scenario for you, Jim, and your audience. If China wants to invade Taiwan and the U.S. wants to stand up to us

and they want to get, China wants to get U.S. to back down and let them have that, all China has to do is start doing what I call nuclear chicken. They've got hundreds of nuclear weapons. We've got a lot more. But the difference is China's leadership is going to be willing to do a small nuclear exchange. You know, if a million, 10 million Chinese get killed, they don't really care that much. They want to get Taiwan. Does the U.S. president willing to sacrifice a million or a couple million U.S. citizens to defend Taiwan? I think the answer is hell no.

I think China knows that. So all China has to do is they want to invade Taiwan, they just give the U.S. an ultimatum. You either back down in 30 minutes or we're launching just five or six ICBMs, nuclear weapons at you. And oh, by the way, you've got an anti-ballistic missile system. You might be able to shoot them all down. But we want to prove to you that we're fighting for Taiwan and you had better get the hell out of there. And they launch in 30 minutes because the president doesn't back down. My bet is that our ABM system might take out half of them. That leaves three left.

If those three detonate on the ground, you know, in Los Angeles, Kansas City, you name it, there's millions of casualties. If those three detonate in the air over the United States, that's grid down. So initially, China has killed, you know, hardly anyone. Yeah, there's going to be some airliners that crash when their electronics are out. They're crashing anyway. Yeah. But they don't immediately kill that many people so the s is probably gonna back down but with our grid down the estimate from the emp commission congressionally funded study of our

grid and the mp commission chaired by a former navy admiral former director of the cia their estimate was when our grid goes down from an emp attack that takes down most of the CIA, their estimate was when our grid goes down from an EMP attack that takes down most of the grid, destroys a lot of transformers, it's down for over a year and 90% of the U.S. population will die. This is not my speculation. This is the congressionally funded study. Their report, the director saying that. And you can download it anywhere, PBM family.

You can type that in and download it. Yeah, most people know it. All our enemies know this. So if China is going to attack the United States, they go after our grid. It's our Achilles heel. And if we don't immediately surrender or back down, they can take out our grid. North Korea, their shitty little small, inaccurate nuclear weapons force could take down our grid. North Korea, their shitty little small, inaccurate nuclear weapons force could take down the grid. They bragged about it in the newspapers, and this was years ago,

and I'm not giving, I was a former intelligence officer, I'm not telling you anything classified, I'm telling you stuff that are in papers. And what happened with North Korea is they got assistance from Soviet Union and Russia on developing their nuclear weapons. Their nuclear weapons force is small. It's always going to be small relative to ours. And what they did is they optimized their nuclear weapons to produce EMP, not blast, not thermal radiation, not other types of radiation, the EMP effect. not other types of radiation, the EMP effect. And so China, with an inaccurate small force, all they got to do is get it high over the United States. They could be off by three states. It doesn't make any difference.

You're going to take down our grid for over a year, and you're going to kill the vast majority of the U.S. population. North Korea already has that capability. Iran has the ability to produce nuclear weapons in a matter of months, assuming they haven't already done it and we just don't know. They got nuclear weapons. There's no way they don't have nuclear weapons. The official stuff you read in the papers is they don't have it, but they could get it within a couple months. The point is if Iran really wants to do it, now they don't have an ICBM yet, but you do the, it's called scud on the tub. You put a scud missile on a boat off the U.S. shore and launch it.

In a connex. Yeah. There's other ways to do it. I wrote a book called Rohan Nation, Reinventing America After the 2020 Collapse. And it was a pandemic and an EMP attack. And the EMP, the missile that launched the nuclear weapon, was launched out the back end of a modified civilian airliner right over the United States. And so you want to be up higher than the airliner. So they just launched a small missile out the back of the plane,

gained another 10,000, 20,000 feet in high altitude. That's not hard to do with a missile. Detonated up there because higher up gives you more coverage and damage effect on the grid, and they took down our electric grid that way. So Iran, you know, if they don't have it now, you know, within months to a year,

they are going to be a fourth country that has the ability to kill us. I'm not going to count France or the UK taking us down, but in terms of people who are in the alliance against us, China and Russia would have absolutely no trouble destroying our grid. North Korea could do it. And there's a good chance Iran will have that capability soon. And Iran hates us.

We're the great Satan. They'd be very willing to do it. I can't believe we've done nothing with Iran thus far. We've been at war with them for years. I mean, I served in Iraq and I can tell you, and again, this is not classified information, it's very open source. Iran not only provided IED parts and improvised explosive devices to kill U.S. troops, they deployed Revolutionary Guard soldiers into Iraq and directed attacks to kill U.S. soldiers. into Iraq and directed attacks to kill U.S. soldiers.

You know, they support terrorists bombing us, killing us all the time. And our country doesn't have the, I won't say what part, to stand up to them and say, you know, Christ's sake, we're at war with Iran. They're trying to kill us. We're the great Satan. They're killing our soldiers, attacking us all the time. For Christ's sake, we're at war. I don't understand how we can't just send some people in there to make, you know, the mullahs and all of them disappear. And then, you know, let this, because the people, I don't know, I've never been anywhere

near the Middle East, but the people of Iran, when you see them interacting in day-to-day life, they don't, it doesn't match with what the leadership says. That's absolutely true. Most Iranians were very confident, like Coca-Cola, like the United States. But if they can't say anything like that, they'll be the ones. So they just need a decapitation. And we're good at that. I mean, we do that all the time.

We haven't done it for a long time. And it's got to be approved by Congress. I mean, CIA was stopped from doing that several decades ago, and you cannot do any kind of an operation like that unless you go to the Senate and have the oversight committees approve an action like that. Well, maybe not exactly a decapitation, but what we did in ukraine very similar right pull something like that off in iran or no i'm not following you on the ukraine thing well we there was a guy in there who was uh you know largely russian supportive i think it was in

2014 and then we sent people in there i think it was think it was McCain who was around running things in those days, created the color revolution that put the guy in there that basically began what's happening in Ukraine and Russia right now. I can't remember the name of the guy. Start with the PR, I think. I think. But basically, we took we took Russian the Russian supported president leadership out in Ukraine and put our own guy in there. And from that point on, you know, Putin's been keeping score from that point on. Basically, he saw that go down and he's been sitting there going like, oh, cool. Let's see how this pans out. Well, what I worry about with Russia is, I mean, Russia's, I don't think Russia would ever launch a major nuclear attack against the U.S. That's kind of the good news I can offer people. So I don't think you will see major nuclear strikes on the U.S.

The bad news is they wouldn't do that because they've got better means of doing it where they don't get the hell kicked out of them in retaliation. better means of doing it where they don't get the hell kicked out of them in retaliation. They'll do the one I described earlier where they just, you know, launch a few missiles, take out our electric grid, which is probably much more effective in taking us out. You know, people have to remember, where do all our military bases and troops, do you know where we get our power from? The electric grid, the same one you and I are on. There is no separate military power system. Yeah, they got generators, but hospitals have generators, prisons have generators. Well, good luck having them keep running after a week. After that, they're gone. They run out of fuel,

they break down. So if you want to take our military out, you take out the grid and that's it. Our military is pretty much incapable of doing much. Now, strategic nuclear forces, they're different. They are harder. You know, EMP isn't going to take them out. They still have dependence on civilian power, but they're a little bit more capable. But our military is very vulnerable to that. The other thing that Russia would do if Russia wants to really hurt the United States, and I've been warning about this to our members, and we do a monthly newsletter. If anyone wants to sign up for that, go to our 49th website and sign up for our newsletter.

We do threat updates every month, provide quite a lot of information on that, as well as our Collapse Survivor app. But we've been warning our members for years that if Russia really feels like they're getting in trouble in the Ukraine and Putin feels that, hey, I could get ousted in a coup here if I don't turn things around. What I would expect them to do is to release a virus clandestinely in the U.S., start a pandemic. Because when we get a bad pandemic, you know, H5N1 is 60% lethal or some other agent that they introduce over here, we can't afford to be helping any country overseas. We'll probably be pulling our troops overseas back to help with the recovery,

trying to reestablish law and order in the U.S., and we won't be able to support them overseas in a pandemic. So if you want to take the United States out, the electric rate is one way. The other thing to do is release the virus over here. And as an intelligence officer, I've been following this stuff for a long time. And I use the word inevitable when I talk about a lot of these threats. We are going to have a human-to-human transmissible form of H5N1. It's either going to keep naturally mutating, and it already has been. H5N1, don't call it bird flu or avian flu. That's what it used to be called. It is spreading in about 30 different mammal populations all over the world.

One we just recently did a real threat alert on for our members was it's spreading in domestic cats in Poland. Yikes. Not cats that are outside eating infected dead birds with H5N1, inside cats that don't go outside. And so this virus spreading in these other mammals, it's eventually going to get, the viruses mutate all the time. It will eventually become human-to-human contagious. And when it mutates, it may be 60% lethal. It may be less. It may be more. We don't know. But when it does transmit between humans, it's game over. No one's going to go to work when there's a double-digit level virus spreading.

COVID-19, you know, much, much, much, much less than 1% lethal. Not too bad. The 2018-2019 improperly named Spanish flu, that was about 2% lethal. Not too bad. The 2018-2019 improperly named Spanish flu, that was about 2% lethal. But something that's double digits, up to maybe 60%, no one is going to go to work. Policemen aren't going to go to work. And there's going to be massive fatalities from the virus, followed by the survivors. It's going to be marauding to try and stay alive. That's going to happen. And in a state of affairs like we have in our nation today, even if the government comes

out and says, look, we have a cure, even if it is a legitimate cure, people are going to be so freaked out by COVID-19, they're not going to take it anyway. Yeah, and you can't, you can't really, I mean, we're trying to develop vaccines for H5N1, a lot of drugs. But again, when something mutates, you have no idea if your vaccine's going to work. And when it works, you know, it's not 100%. And there are side effects and drawbacks. And even if you even if you have the absolutely perfect vaccine, no side effects, 100% effective. Okay, we've got it. Well, we have to produce it.

How do you produce it when there's a pandemic now and no one's going to work and they're scared to death to go to work because there's a 60% lethal virus? Tell me how you're going to produce this virus. And by the way, it normally takes about six months to produce a vaccine. Normally it takes about six months to produce a vaccine. It normally takes about six months to produce a vaccine. So, you know, the vaccine is not going to save you or help you when there's a H5N1 pandemic. You can't wait six months. You produce it now in

six months with everything working. Well, everything's not working during a pandemic collapse. Basically, what will happen is you'll ride it out. And that's what we'll do at Fortitude Ranch. And there's a pandemic. As long as our members don't have the virus when they get here, I think they'll survive with really, really high probability because we've got the food and the preparation. We've got the guns and weapons and tactics and cleared lines of fire and walls to protect ourselves from marauders. And we're a really hard target. But we're not going to get the virus. We don't have to worry about that because as members come in,

they don't come in until they've passed a week in isolation, and we're sure they don't have the vaccine. And then everyone else out there who gets exposed is going to die, so there's going to be a big kill-off. But other people learn, I'm not going out anywhere for a couple of weeks. So actually, the virus, the more lethal the virus, this is the good news, the more lethal the virus, the faster it dies out because it kills everyone who's got it and scares the crap out of everyone else. So they stay home and don't catch the virus. So the virus will be knocked out eventually. But you still can't go out because it's not

completely knocked out and if it's still spreading somewhere do you want to take a chance the 80 people you know working in this building they want to establish that none of them has the virus or doesn't come in with it one day also what are you going out for there's not gonna be anything out there it's not like you're to run out to the Walmart, you know? Yeah, well, nothing to do. But I say if we try to get production going again. Oh, I see if you're trying to kick start the economy again. Yeah, trying to do the recovery. People are just going to be scared to participate

in the recovery. So we're, you know, we've got the ability to go for at least a year and with sustainable food production, probably quite a bit longer. So, you know, we'll wait it out for quite a long time before our members come out and take a risk on coming back and catching a virus that may not be 100% out if it's that lethal. Well, that's the benefit. You know, one of the big benefits of Fortitude Ranch is you know

that you have a place that's being looked after. And when things go wrong, you've got a place to go. And for a lot of preppers, that's one of the biggest hurdles. You know, we have a six-episode series for our members on the bug out because it's such a huge undertaking for most people. And, you know, a lot of that has to do with figuring out where you're going, when you're, how you're getting there, all those types of things. You can eliminate a lot of that if you're lucky enough to be close to a Fortitude Ranch location. Yeah, and if you leave early, and again, that comes back to the value of these warnings.

If you leave early in a collapse, if you've got the Collapse Survivor app, you get the warning. You can grab stuff, load up your car, and get out before other people know anything. And so I don't think you're going to get caught in traffic jams. And, you know, we think people can probably get, you know, several hundred miles. And if there are members, we train you on storing your gasoline and rotating it and all that, having the ability to get to a location that may be 500 miles distance. But what we are trying to do is grow. We're doing franchising now.

Actually, one of your former members not former members but a listener pbn uh he heard about us oh he's a member so he's got a franchise now i'm not new york yeah i just don't mention member names so yeah he's in new york so we got a franchise location there now and we're trying to grow through franchising so i'm not going to say we're going to be in every state i'm not not sure I would wish a California business upon anyone, but we're going to get going seven locations now operating. We hope to get quite a lot fewer now with franchising because the interest in prepping is just going through the roof. It is, we are going to have collapses coming and we need a lot more Fortitude Ranches. I mean, the worst case in my mind is we've got a collapse,

and there's just a couple thousand Fortitude Ranch members. Unfortunately, almost all the politicians survive at Mount Weather and Raven Rock and CIDAR, all those FEMA places and military bases, and then marauders survive. We don't want that. We want to have more good Americans survive, not just the politicians and the bad guys. Oh, man. Would the best reality show of all time be the cameras at Mount Weather? You know, like three months in.

Three months in, politicians stacked on top of each other eating freeze-dried food. Oh, I would love it. That'd be the best show ever. They'd be fighting. They got good food and good shell there. And, I mean, I'm not going to mention someone, but there is someone you know who knows a lot about it, but let's not out him on this.

Oh, definitely not. The thing that makes me the most mad, a lot of things make me mad about Mount Weather, the fact that they have protection for themselves and their family and aren't doing crap for the rest of us. But the other thing I hate about Mount Weather is – and this is, again, open source stuff. They have media rooms there so that the congressmen can continue to stay in touch with their districts because a reelection campaign could be coming up. They actually have media rooms. That's sweet.

At Mount Weather. Crawl to the coming up. They actually have media rooms. That's sweet. And Mount Weather. Crawl to the polling places. You know, we don't want to lose any potential of a re-election vote, so good to stay in touch and issue, you know, press releases to your district. Hey, you may be really bad back where you are, but I'm working for you hard here underground. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm working real hard, eating well, drinking clean water, not fighting for my life. Hope to see you for the next election. Yeah, that's hilarious. I think the last thing I wanted to recommend to your folks, so it's hard to get people to prep.

I started to say that. If you get them to use the app, you're not asking them to make a decision to become a prepper. They're just using the app for the threat warnings and tell them, try some of the simulations. I think you'll enjoy it. It's entertaining for them. But if they start listening to and participating in the simulations, they are going to become aware of the threats

like your audiences and other preppers are. They're also going to start learning about what it's going to be like if you don't have preparations when the shit hits the fan. So you convert them to be become interested in prepping but let the app do it rather than you trying to persuade someone who doesn't want to even think about it great idea i like that a lot yeah work walk yourself through it and there's a there's more intimacy with the app because of the fact that you're not watching a movie with characters

that you don't care about you're not watching julia roberts right you're you input your family's well you have the option to input your family's information not information but you know i've got two sons and a wife you put that into the app so so you get a better feeling of like this is more tailored towards me. And then you put in resources, the amount of resources you have or you put in a certain amount of resources to see how it goes. And it's just a more intimate thing than reading a prep or fiction novel or watching a movie. You get the feeling that this is stuff that I could go through really and do I want want to go through that? Or do I want to go through that as poorly prepared as I am? Well, and if I could ask a favor of your network.

So we think the app now is fairly realistic, but it's got a lot of improvements we're going to do. We're going to have new releases of it. So I say we have weekly simulations. Every other month or so, we'll take a week or so off to upgrade the app. We won't do a simulation that week. But if you've got ideas on improvement, I'd appreciate if you would email us. There's a place on the app where I'll tell you where to send your emails to. With your suggestions to improve it, if you've got problems, please do that. And please give us a five-star rating,

even if you see something wrong with it. Yes, we know we've got to keep improving it. We want to do that. We're going to add some gaming features to it later on for people who want to do a little bit of shooting game stuff in it, optional for those who don't want to. But we really want to get this app in the hands of more people so more people become aware of the need to prep because if you don't prepare, there's so many threats coming, getting worse and worse all the time.

You're not going to make it. And again, let's not have marauders and politicians at Mount Weatherby, the only survivors. Let's get more good Americans to start preparing and make it through the collapses that are coming. Drew Miller, I thank you. I think that's about as good a way to polish this thing off as possible. What do you say? Well, i sure appreciate it and keep up your good work that's what we do man no doubt about it well thank you sir and we'll

have you on definitely in the uh in the near future my my bigger plans uh what i'd like to get to you is our hosts follow up on the app scenarios. So we're going to try to get as many of our own hosts signed up, and once the next scenario ends, hopefully we'll be able to do a podcast on our take. You know what I mean? And we can keep doing those, and I think that'd be a good way to get more and more of our listeners on board.

And listeners, you know how we operate here at PBN. If there's enough of you that are playing around with the app, I'd love to have a show with the listeners and get your take on how the scenario went because it's a fun app, man. Like I said, I've done two of these things, and I've died in both of them. It's no walk in the park, and you learn a lot.

So Collapse Survivor app in the App Store. Get your hands on it. Thanks again, Drew Miller. And always a pleasure to talk to you, bud. Thank you, Jim. Have a good one. You too, sir. See you around.
