Not Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro. And in the midst of his story, one of my friends turned to the other and said, we don't know how lucky we are. And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are. I had some place to escape to. And in that sentence, he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to.

This is the last stand on earth. This is the last stand on earth. The last stand on earth. The last stand on earth. SILENT PRAGUE © BF-WATCH TV 2021 you are now listening to the patriot power hour this live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com. Patriot Power Hour. We are live. We didn't learn our lesson from last time.

We forgot that the music replays again on auto replay. I got to put that on a sticky note right now. Anyway, Patriot Power Hour, episode 288. This is our second live stream here on X and YouTube. Unfortunately, Technical Snafu was not able to get the Rumble stream up tonight but we also normally will be simulcasting on rumble as well and don't forget anywhere you find your podcast just search prepper broadcasting network you'll find the whole network archive if you can't listen live it's always fun live though by the way if you are listening live or in the future at Live, there is a comment section.

So, wow. It is so close to Christmas, so close to the end of the year. So much has happened in 2024, but we still got so much going on right now. As always on Patriot Power Hour, we will get into the news blitz in just a few minutes. Going through a wide spectrum of news. 12-12-2024, 6-0-4 p.m. Eastern. Let's start with the U.S. debt clock, though. Just a couple days ago, article comes out saying the worst start ever in a fiscal year for government deficit. Meaning government deficit is the worst it's ever been by far, starting from October of 2024, which is the beginning of the government fiscal year. I mean, we've had unbelievable, crazy debt spending for more than a decade at this

point, but it's getting to a new level. Part of that is absolutely Biden administration and gang going gangbusters spending everything they can while they still can loot and treasury, literally figuratively printing. This is, of course, all being printed, this deficit. So every dollar of taxes spent plus 50%, 60%, 70% on top. That's debt. So, yeah, that's what we're watching right here. USDetClock.org. You want to get real sick and depressed, go deep into this.

I won't go too deep into it right now, but I was talking to someone. Won't go too deep into it. Let's just say he's a professional. He's smart. Worked with him for a better part of a decade. And at work, he's very logical, rational, practical, but I was speaking with him about the news that the worst ever start to the fiscal year government deficit,

and he just said, well, at this point, does it even matter? And future Dan, who unfortunately is not with us tonight, but he will be next week, my fellow patriot and fellow host of Patriot Power Hour, but he's asked this as well, more rhetorically, I think, but there is some literal question to it, and the question is, why does it matter? At this point, does it even matter if we have all this debt?

And what I always say and what I said back to this gentleman that I know professionally, it doesn't matter until it does. And when it does, there's no going back. Don't remember, and I'm not going to use AI right now to go find it, the quote, I don't remember who wrote it or said it, how do you go bankrupt very slowly than all at once? But that applies personally as well as nationwide. Now, America is super wealthy, lots of resources. Lots of old and new money.

So, able to mortgage our country over a lot more than your average guy or gal out there. But it can't go on forever. As you see here on this usdebtclock.org these numbers are only getting larger, larger, larger. $36.2 trillion. So what's the question? So the question is this, really.

What happens if we go over that cliff? If all this debt actually does start to mean something or really, you know, there is a shock. There's a point where it will make a difference. First off, when is that? Also, what can you do to prep for that? This is of course,

prepper broadcast and network. Well, to prep for that, I've given a lot of advice over the years. Won't go too deep into it now, but that's what the archives for. There's tons of awesome obviously not just our show lots of great shows in the archive of pbn but i've always looked at it

as a multi-tiered and multi uh just just different reasons but they all work together of how you can financially prepare for when this U.S. debt clock actually starts to matter or just all of a sudden matters. It blows everything apart. Looking like 2008 multiplied by 10. Looking like COVID. Remember that crash of COVID? Trillions and trillions of dollars printed.

All the stimulus checks. That was only a small portion of it, by the way. We're going to be looking at that times five, and I don't think they could print it their way out of it. Maybe one more time is what I'm saying. They may be able to, but how do you prep for that? Number one, physical preps, Food, water, water filtering, firearms, ammo, medical supplies, gold and silver. All right.

Physical things for the powers out. Now, some people may want to have all their resources within arm's reach or buried somewhere on their property or nearby. Understood. I know a lot of PBN listeners are like that. I'd like that to some degree, but I also have a little bit of money, like electronically, right? I have minimal in my bank account, like two months of bills worth at most. You know what I mean? like two months of bills worth at most.

You know what I mean? Like put together your housing and any transportation and other, and you know, food, all that a couple months of that. I don't have much more than that in the bank, but you know, I still live on the grid, try to get away from it,

but I do still have a debit card. You know what I mean? I do have a 401k. I don't really use much of it, though, because I don't want to even give the banksters any fees, right? I give up a little bit of match from my employer, but screw it.

I don't want to feed the banksters even a little bit if possible. And then, of course, good old Bitcoin. I feel like if you have $5,000 in the bank, $10,000 or more, and you don't know where to put it, of course, some cash on hand, gold, silver, physical preps,

and land, and good transportation, etc., etc. There's a lot of ways to spend money before you have a bunch in your bank account you don't know what to do with, obviously. But I've always said some Bitcoin is helpful, for sure. I'm a big proponent. But Bitcoin still makes up only a small percentage of my overall kind of financial allocation. It's all about diversification. And if one of these things fail, you want to make sure the rest are still around. I, if the power goes out preppers, we want to make sure we have some stuff nearby, if not the

good majority on the flip side. And I hate to use this example, but it's very realistic. Imagine you live in North Carolina on a nice, you know, that's great prepping land, really. Mountainous, remote, a lot of self-reliant people. A lot of people want to, you know, have a prepping homestead in the Appalachian Mountains or Rocky Mountains or, you know, mountainous rural area. But what if a flash flood comes through and all your gold gets washed away? Hopefully you would be able to get it out of there in time

if you knew such a storm was coming. But you might not want to have every single thing at your house, for example, is what I'm trying to say here. So diversify in all ways. That's how you can hopefully survive the debt apocalypse, which is coming. It's just a question. Is it going to happen like right when Trump comes in office, which is a decent chance by the way, or is it going to be more like, uh, a couple of years from now? In fact, future Dan, my co-host, he thinks it's going to be before election 2028, maybe like a few months before that, where they're really going to sabotage

and blow the economy away. I don't know or think they can keep it around that long, to be honest. But hey, I thought this, I thought this freaking pyramid would have collapsed by now, to be honest. Don't underestimate the Fed and the banksters and how much debt they can produce, how much of your children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren's future life they can mortgage. Right here, you're looking at the numbers right here, man. usdebtclock.org. Of course, if you're not watching the stream live or an archive audio only, you might not be seeing what you're seeing here,

but let me just read out a couple high level, high level numbers here. And we'll move on to the news blitz and talk some other topics. Cause there's a lot going on ladies and gents. U S national debt, 36.2, 2 trillion. Just very recently, it crossed the $36 trillion mark,

and we've already added another $221 billion in just a couple months. It's crazy, crazy, crazy. By the way, U.S. federal tax revenue is not going down. Taxes are at their all-time highest.

They're collecting tons of taxes. It's just they're spending a ridiculous amount. This is where the rubber hits the road. You ready? The interest on the debt. If you're looking on the screen, look at it. It's got a warning sign on purpose next to it right here. Interest on debt. We're now above $1 trillion a year on the interest on the debt. You ever get a car note,

mortgage, or any sort of debt, you know, the difference between a principal and interest, right? You got to pay the interest each month before you can even start to chip away at the principal. But obviously our government doesn't even have spare cash to chip away at the interest, let alone the principal, the interest, all this $1 trillion interest is being printed all of it. And nothing is being put against the principal because the deficit's so large. Maybe I'm exaggerating slightly, but let me tell you what.

We're in such dire straits that the principal is not being paid down at all and a great portion of the interest, not just nationally, but all over the country, state, local, personal, corporate, the interest is actually just being rolled over into more principles. So it just piles up and trust me, compounding interest is very, very bad. If it's going in that way. Now, if you're super rich and you're getting compounding interest, hey, you're living the life. But if your debt is growing compounding interest, a large portion or all of the interest is being put against your principal, no, no,

you're in big, big trouble. All right, folks, I am going to go ahead and switch on to the dashboard. I do see we have a few comments here. I will read through some of these comments, get some thoughts and questions, but stay on schedule, I suppose. I'm going to go ahead and switch on over to futuredanger.com dashboard. You can see it straight away, but for those listening, four columns, liberty, security, economy, and natural. Let's just go left to right. Simply put, and each of these headlines has an article. We'll review most of these articles tonight, not all.

That's why I'm trying to keep up the schedule. Time goes fast here. Feds use bank loophole to surveil Americans financial data without warrants we will certainly review that FBI director resigns

you heard about these drones I actually went on air and saw that a, a new PBN podcast, or I don't know if it was live, but definitely, uh, I can, I'm going to go listen to the archive about whether it's drones or whether

it's manned vehicles. I unfortunately was not able to listen to that right before I went live, but I'm going to go afterwards. You guys should go check it out too on PBN. But here's some news over the last few days. Mysterious drone clusters witnessed across Philadelphia region as FBI continues investigation. Chinese caught attacking American energy production,

electrical grid, and communications and financial networks in 2020. Remember, there were some fishy situations going on then too. We're going to dive deep into these. It's going to be, this is a very, we had to go live tonight. There's just so much going on above and beyond that crazy debt bomb that's waiting to blow. Trump's going to take over and they're going to blow it, I think. But anyway, the Pentagon has denied reports of Iranian ship-launching drones off the New Jersey coast.

I also saw a headline that just got released pretty recently that FBI says it's not a national security threat. So that makes me think a full-scale alien invasion must be coming if the FBI is saying that. That's pretty much what I'm thinking. I think a lot of it's a distraction of all the other stuff that's going on right now,

but there is something fishy going on. We'll keep following it here on Future Danger at PBN generally. Meanwhile, Syria has fallen. Wow, that came seemingly out of nowhere. Follow the Assad regime in Nabascus. Israel conducts 250 airstrikes across Syria just in the last week or so they're not facing any resistance occupying a bit of that land

of course Russia staunch allies of well I don't know about I'd say staunch allies more like use the Assad and Syrian government as proxy puppet militarily at least. This hurts Russia for sure. It's going to another

poke in the bear's ribcage. Having Syria overthrown by ISIS, but there's a lot of other... Syria is such a cluster. I'll just leave it at that. I mean, you think the Middle East is bad. Syria personifies the cluster that is the Middle East.

Russian ship fires warning shots at German military helicopter in the Baltic Sea. Taiwan demands China end large military activity in nearby waters. Economically, half of all U.S. states going bankrupt. Annual inflation rate accelerates to 2.7% in November.

The quarterly is lower, but this is November. This is the new quarter. And don't forget 2.7% on top of that very high inflation we've had the last few years. We're not seeing any reduction in prices. If you saw a real Middle East war break out, imagine the inflation coming from that. Half of people recently visited places which did not accept or discouraged cash. I actually, as part of a work trip,

had to go to one of these places. The work group wanted to go there for lunch. And it said right there, no cash accepted. Only like Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card or whatever, right? What am I supposed to say? Oh, I'm not going to. Hey, guys, let me just say. Maybe I need to start doing that.

Become more of an activist. But I've also learned to keep works a little separate from this more than I did back in the day. But I'm definitely not anti-cash to say the least. 15% of federal government debt owned by foreign governments. Sure, a lot of the debt and interest being paid on the debt goes to U.S. citizens, goes to pensions, U.S.-based, etc. But at least 15% of it's going to foreigners, including a lot to China. this is accelerated both in frequency and severity in the last week. The pansy, pansy illness, we touched on it a bit last week, previewed it. There were some numbers, and it looks like it's being confirmed late October into November,

even more numbers than reported last week 400 cases of that illness reported since late october so what's it now it's i mean it's december 12th it could be a thousands and thousands bleeding eye virus outbreak in rwanda leads to travel advisory dengue fever in bra, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. 7,000 dead. Nearly 1 billion have incurable genital herpes. Yikes. Pestilence befalls in all types of ways. Not good. Hundreds of vials of deadly viruses missing after Australian lab breach in 2021.

Malibu seeing a wildfire explosion. From Yemen to Mayotte. That's my best guess. The spread of a highly drug-resistant cholera strain. Drug-resistant antibiotics and antiviral and other treatments. That's the news blitz for the day. Let's go check out some of those comments. Sorry it took me so long to get there.

Pepper Broadcast Network says, White House announced they are manned vehicles. So it was the White House, not just the FBI. Manned vehicles. That sounds kind of kind of crazy anarchy television what's going on cbdc which is central bank digital currency and universal basic income are traps he's got cheese oh i love it He's got cheese underneath the box with the little stick. So you go and get a cheese, hit the stick, box falls on you.

Totally. Believe it 100%. Agree 100%. Anarchy Television. If you gave me a dollar a second, it would take me over 3,000 years to get $1 trillion. Says Anarchy Television. I've run some crazy numbers in the past and it's just mind-boggling

what even a million dollars is, let alone a billion, let alone a trillion, let alone 33 trillion, whatever. And there's tons of unfunded liabilities. It's crazy. Let's say this one more time. $1 a second.

What? So every second you get a dollar bill, let's just say it just kind of falls to the ground. First off, it'd flood your entire home instantly. Not instantly, but pretty quick. Your entire house will be stuck with dollar bills. It won't even be close to getting to these trillions of dollars.

But Anarchy Television has calculated as 3,000 years. 3,000 years at $1 per second. I believe that math. It is unbelievable. And remember, that's only $1 trillion. We're getting $1 trillion of interest a year, let alone the principal and let alone corporate debt, personal debt. By the way, credit card debt, all-time highs.

Auto loan debt, all-time highs. Auto loan payments, all-time highs. All right. We're going to go through a few of these articles here. All right, we're going to go through a few of these articles here. Again, if you're listening to the archive, actually, I haven't announced this yet. Might as well take a breath and say it.

The Patriot Power Hour season and 2024 finale will be next Wednesday, 7 p.m. Eastern. Wednesday, the 18th. Wednesday, the 18th, 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific. Patriot Power Hour finale. My co-host, Future Dan, will be back with me. We're planning at least 90 minutes of 2024 in review and a bit of 2025 preview. We'll save most of 2025 preview for maybe our first show in early January,

but we'll definitely talk a bit about what we're looking for in 2025. But one of the highlights of the last show of the year, and this is our seventh year doing Patriot Power Hour. One of the highlights is reviewing our predictions and thoughts. And I'm looking at the list right now that we put out in early January of this year. So almost a full year ago. Thoughts on odds that Trump would win. Odds that Trump would win odds that Trump would be

assassinated we predicted what we thought the chances that Trump would be assassinated and that if Trump would win we gave our percentage and thoughts on prior episodes so we'll review some of that maybe even have a couple of those clips ready for our finale next week looking forward to that.

So join us live next Wednesday if you can. Otherwise, of course, we got the archive. All right, let's stop blabbering here. First off, I wouldn't normally play commercials here, but I don't have that lined up. One of my resolutions, actually, I'm going to do it before the finale next week is load up a couple of commercials or make sure I know where they are at least. So I will say go to pbnfamily.com. That's the commercial.

Hell, let's do an interactive commercial right now, and then we're going to get back to the news for the rest of the night. No breaks, baby. pbnfamily.com. Master Preparedness Schedule. No breaks, baby. PBNfamily.com. Master preparedness schedule. I use this a lot more this year than the previous years, and I'm really glad. I'm going to make a real concerted effort to start off 2025 the right way

and just say, hey, I did these well last year, this part of the schedule. Maybe I didn't complete as well as I needed to, but I did a lot this year. So you get that as part of a membership with PBN family. A lot of other cool stuff. So PBN family.com. I'm a member for sure. I've been a member since even before I joined as a host.

And like I said, it's been a few years. So PBN family.com. There's the commercial for the night all right let's go back and uh i won't even touch on the drones too much because i really want to go back and listen what was said on the show like an hour or two ago that i didn't get to listen to yet so we'll let that go i will will say I know a couple of people in New Jersey. A lot of them ain't believing the official story either. Even people that would probably have believed the official story on most things, honestly,

still don't believe anything about this for what it's worth. the, uh, one thing I've noticed is, uh, Taiwan, if anything, Taiwan, the Chinese,

uh, threat to Taiwan has, I'm not gonna say cooled off, but it's simmering rather than becoming explosive. Like almost every other place, Syria, Ukraine, et cetera.

Now is China just biting its time or have they decided, Hey, Trump's come to office. We're not going to mess around that much. We're not going to mess around and find out if you know what I mean right now, we're going to wait until either Trump is out of office at four years or until the other shoe drops and Trump's assassinated or something happens. I absolutely don't want that to happen, but I guess the question is why aren't we seeing all the blockade action, whether naval or air,

all the threats, all the live fire drills right next to Taiwan. We were seeing a lot of that earlier this year. Now we're not seeing as much. And Taiwan's saying, hey, you've slowed it down. You haven't completely stopped. Don't get me wrong. You have not completely stopped.

But, hey, China, stop it. So I hope, I don't want to see China try to invade Taiwan, So I hope, I don't want to see China try to invade Taiwan, even if Taiwan beats back China and U.S. F-35s, F-22s decimate Chinese Air Force. It's a huge victory for Taiwan and U.S. defense. That's not good at all. Okay, so say Top Gun, Maver maverick right like we don't want this to happen even if we win if we lose it's way worse so

I say we shouldn't be prepared for it but like we should not be hoping for it I know pretty much anyone listening is not like that but keep it in mind even myself I'm like oh yeah let's see let's take him out this ain't a video game it's not a movie so as for Siri it's a I'm like, oh yeah, let's see. Let's take them out. I'm like, this ain't a video game. It's not a movie.

So as for Siri, it's a cluster. I felt like that collapsed so quickly. Very worried, very worried about that. I don't know if I have much else to say, but, but yeah, maybe, you know, it was so quick. Israel had to be behind it. Right. I don't know. They don't like the people that took over, but now they can kind of do what they need to do or want to do. How about this? Let's go deep into this. Feds use bank loophole to surveil Americans' financial data without warrants. Good old InfoWars. Good old InfoWars.

I love InfoWars. But let's take a... I mean, this is from a report by way of the House Judiciary. Okay, so it's on InfoWars, but it links you to the report itself. Financial surveillance in the United States. How the federal government weaponized the Bank Secrecy Act to spy on Americans. Interim staff report of the committee on the judiciary and the select subcommittee

on the weaponization of the federal government. Do you think they would have this if Trump had lost? I mean, maybe, maybe not. But you want to fact check this. In fact, I probably should earmark this to read through it. It is 47 pages, but I could probably finish this in an hour if I really tried. And I'm going to be traveling a little bit for the holidays, so I might have a little time to.

So regardless, yeah. Americans Financial Data, if any of you had any questions, your financial data is surveilled without warrants. No, duh. No, duh. No, duh. So that's why you probably should have it, you know, buried in your backyard, your wealth, or invested in a 20 acre homestead with great water nice transportation, but not relying on gas or diesel. Of course not. So point is, yeah,

that's not good at all. But I'm pretty sure anyone listening right now doesn't think that the net, how many of you, if any of you do, hit me up on comments or send me a message on X, AKA Twitter at bankster breaker, send me a message there, either tag me or just send me a DM or post something here on the YouTube or live X. or LiveX even, if you are surprised, let me know if you're surprised or not surprised. Because I think if I say, if you are surprised about the feds surveilling you without warrants,

I think no one will be surprised. So no one will message me. I want to get some interactions. Let me know. Yeah. I'm not jovial about it. Not at all but hey just another example of what sounded like

conspiracy theory 3, 5, 10 years ago and it's coming true FBI director resigns before president-elect Donald Trump could say you're fired FBI director Christopher Wray before president-elect Donald Trump could say, you're fired. FBI director Christopher Wray has resigned and will leave his post at the end of President Biden's term.

Let's look at some financials. Gold, $2,700. Financials, gold, $2,700. Near the all-time high, still off a little bit, just a couple percent from the all-time high. Silver had a rough day today. It went down like a buck. It doesn't show it necessarily right here. I think it's already sort of reset, but still.

Year-to-date, silver's up nicely. I still think silver and gold are pretty cheap. Now, is Bitcoin cheap at $100,000? It went... I forgot. Oh my gosh.

Our last episode was eight days ago and i believe while we were on air maybe just a few minutes after it was the first time bitcoin officially broke a hundred thousand dollars it's gone as high as 103,000 and as low as 92,000 in the last week. So super volatile right now it rests just at 100,000 earlier today. I was at 102,000, but it had a little bit of a little bit of a pullback. As I've always said, if you have zero Bitcoin and you have more than a grand in your bank account sitting there, I highly suggest if you already have some gold, silver, and other preps, buy a little bit of Bitcoin. Is $100,000 cheap? I'm not going to say it's cheap, but I believe there's a decent chance Bitcoin will be higher than $100,000 in a year or two. there's a decent chance Bitcoin will be higher than $100,000 in a year or two. You got to look a couple years in the future, not like a week or two,

because it can go from $100,000 to $60,000 in a month, and you'll be freaking out. So you can look at it in the long term, and also if you buy a tiny bit at $100,000, maybe buy a little bit more at $90,000. If it keeps dropping, dropping, dropping, buy a little bit more. Don't000 if it keeps dropping dropping dropping buy a little bit more don't spend more than you're willing to risk of course and again physical preps that don't require electricity highest of priorities of course stock markets aren't crashing at all so there was a bit of trump euphoria but it's tempered a little bit.

Heading into the end of the year, heading into the holidays. Be very interested to see what happens next year. A lot of really good stories in American business, especially with the more business-friendly administration coming in. But a lot of horrible, horrible skeletons in the financial system not just all this debt that i've been talking about right here so best of times worst of times mostly worst of times but there's some good news out there financially actually so if you look in the right spots some growth stories obviously artificial intelligence is going to make people money, money, money.

Unless there's like thermonuclear war or a meteor hits us or something, there's going to be people making money on artificial intelligence and technology and, of course, war. I don't invest in any war companies, but they're doing pretty well these days, you might expect.

Got a few more articles I can hit on, I think, tonight. Half of all U.S. states go in bankrupt. We'll stick with a couple more economic-themed. Zoom in just a bit here. zoom in just a bit here a recent report from truth and accounting has revealed that 27 states across America more than half

ended fiscal year 2023 which ended in October with a deficit so they consider that going bankrupt with a deficit. So, they consider that going bankrupt on this website. I essentially do as well if you continue to do this over and over.

Yeah. Debt, debt, debt. Don't forget about it, man. That is one of the worst concerns out there and one of the things Trump's really going to have to work with. But I say this a little unjust, but actually truly hoping it could have some influence. Trump's gone through bankruptcies before. I think the U.S. needs a sort of soft default to discharge some of this debt, especially to the banksters.

There's certain debt that probably should not be honored. Let's just say because it's fraudulent, corrupted or in the interest of some bad, bad, bad people being leveraged against Americans and the world generally. So I'm not saying we need to have a full debt jubilee debt holiday all that but maybe we need something like that and trump's done some bankruptcies man i don't think he'll do it i don't think he'll want to go down as the president that took america through default through bankruptcy but it needs to be done and uh if he could do it somewhat effectively and we could grow out of it it's kind of like cutting the dead weight and then we grow out of it. It's going to take more than four years. That's the issue.

You'd have to put his pride and ego aside because he could maybe cut the debt loose and do that default within a few years. It's a process, but the actual fruit from that seed that he hypothetically would plant, it might take several years or a decade to truly sprout. It needs to be done. If I was in his shoes, that's what I would do. Not very politically...

Let's just say there's going to be a lot of enemies facing that. But who else but Trump could take on all those enemies, right? So come on, Trump. I think we honestly need a soft default on the American debt. Let me think on this idea a little bit more. We'll talk about it more in 2025. It needs to be done mathematically. All this debt is not going to be paid.

So I need to figure out a way to. I don't want to wipe the whole slate clean. Remember this. Every debt is someone else's asset. So if you have a pension or you have a 401k or you have any financial assets or your company does, if those disappear overnight because you relieved some debt by decree,

well, your assets will also disappear if you have that. Another reason maybe to not put your assets into a 401k, they might just lock your 401k and say, eh, we actually had to shave 30%, 40%, 50% off the top, otherwise everything would have collapsed. A bail-in. Be wary of that. Let's take a look at this.

Gosh, is it panzi, pansy? Panzi, I'm just going to call it panzi. I haven't heard anyone actually speak this. I read. I don't really watch TV or watch videos about news, so I don't know the pronunciation, to be frank. Over 400 cases of the unidentified illness marked by fever, headache, cough, runny nose, and body aches have been reported since late October

in the southwest Congo. runny nose and body aches have been reported since late october in southwest cago the who the world health organization that's who said in a statement sunday hey pbn folks do we trust the who let me know let me know like to hear your thoughts on the WHO. While more than half of the cases involve children under five, a 50-year-old man hospitalized in Italy is suspected to have recovered from a disease after a business trip to the Congo. I go to some, I'm not going to say dangerous places, but maybe not the nicest places of all time for business trips occasionally. They're not as dangerous as the Congo, though. I don't think I would go to the Congo for a business trip.

Like, they'd have to pay me some hazard pay, like a couple bitcoins, at least. 31 deaths have been recorded down from 79 reported last week, according to The Who. Yeah, I don't know how much I can trust The Who, but it would be perfect to have another massive virus. And it was about this time of the year in 2019 that the rumblings and articles started popping up more and more about the Wuhan virus.

So we're going to keep an eye on it here in Patriot Power Hour. Of course, other pestilence though in Rwanda, South America, and the gentle to herpes one horribly disgusting but yeah how about this this is low level but it's it has the potential to turn into shtf if this actually develops into anything. Out of Newsweek. Yeah, out of Newsweek. Hundreds of vials of deadly viruses missing after a lab breach. In Australia, 323 samples of live viruses.

A serious breach of biosecurity protocols. A serious breach of biosecurity protocols. So what could be done with these viruses in terms of engineering these viruses into something perhaps more weaponized as an example. Looks like some of these viruses are not extremely harmful to humans straight up, but they are very infectious, can kill humans if they infect them, but are more animal type viruses. Disease X in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

We've already talked about that, but keep it in mind. Disease X, disease X, but don't be scared. Get prepared. Prep on, as NBC guy says. Wildfire in Malibu if you live near a wildfire area or a flash flood area or any sort

of flooding anything where your entire house can get washed away with a one day notice or less please please please practice your evacuation wildfire is particularly scary I grew up in Colorado and Please, please practice your evacuation. Wildfire is particularly scary. I grew up in Colorado and never had any wildfire where I lived,

but I do live up with a lot of trees. And some of my friends, I haven't contacted or spoken with them in quite a while, but at least a couple of my friends lived in areas that got burned down a few years ago. I don't know if they still live there or more like their parents' house, if they still live there or moved away or whatever. But there were many houses that got burned up in Colorado and obviously in California. So wildfire in Hawaii and Malibu, but quite dangerous. Be prepared for your own regional disasters, not just SHTF globally. I think that's about it.

Let's actually dive into this. This is at least one more article I want to hit on. And then we might be done for the night. Maybe we'll see if we get another one in. Again, next Wednesday, the 18th, 7 p.m. Eastern, we'll have our end-of-year finale. We'll be reviewing 2024.

We'll be, of course, going through the news of the day, and we'll be predicting at least a little bit, giving some thoughts on what we're predicting or expecting to see in 2025. It's all percentages and probabilities. No one knows except God what's going to happen. Sometimes I think he's watching intently, seeing what we're going to do. We've got some free will. I guess that's a question for another day. Let's see here. Through the Washington Times, by way of the threat status newsletter a cyber security

firm in china and a chinese national face sanctions and criminal charges for hacking into some 81,000 firewall devices around the world and obtaining information for beijing's intelligence services so this headline of where was it chinese caught attacking the american energy production electrical grid and communications and financial networks looks to be more cyber remember though there were attacks physical attacks on power stations etc etc. I guess like the substations or the transformers and whatnot. Not like literally on a

power plant. Let's see. Yeah, 81,000 devices around the world. This is just what they caught. You got to imagine for everything that China is caught doing, there's a hundred others that they are not being caught or it's not being disclosed that they're being caught.

Remember that. I'm sure if they really got caught with their pants down or caught doing something really bad, that doesn't want to just be released to the public necessarily. But the state and the Treasury Departments in the United States announced at the same time new economic sanctions. So, yeah, this is under the OFAC,

the Office of Foreign Asset Control. Kind of the, how do I say, the Treasury Department's CIA arm making sure the money doesn't flow or at least they know where the money is going and can intercede if they want. So, again,

doubt this surprises any pbn listeners that chinese were caught and officially being blamed and sanctioned etc by the u.s treasury even a biden treasury department is doing this so like whoa we think trumps will find hopefully Hopefully he'll find a lot and stop it. We'll see. We'll see. We'll hope for the best. Annual inflation continues to tick. All right, folks.

Let's not belabor the point. I think that's every article. That's pretty much everything I wanted to touch on. Another great episode in the point. I think that's every article. That's pretty much everything I wanted to touch on. Another great episode in the books again next week. The 18th, Wednesday, 7 p.m. Eastern, Patriot Power Hour finale. God willing,

7 p.m. Eastern. We'll go through a lot. It'll be good stuff. Good stuff. Remember, pbnfamily.com. pbnfamily.com. pbnfamily.com. Ifamily.com pbnfamily.com i have not loaded our outro music i'm going to make sure we have a couple uh quotes and a couple outro musics and everything all squared away in the system before our finale and trust me next year we're going to really utilize our ability

to share audio and video on screen it's going be good stuff. Until next week, have a great weekend. Get your Christmas shopping done. Catch you later.
