The Prepper Broadcasting Network - The Government is Not the Answer, Virgis Ch 34

Episode Date: January 28, 2024

Virgis is forced to take the injured refugees to the Las Vegas Camp. Today, L. Douglas Hogan joins us to talk about the realities of relying upon government systems.

Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast with author Sarah F. Hathaway and co-host Chen Gibson. Blending survival fiction and fact to bring you entertaining education that will help you dream, survive, and thrive. And now, here's your hosts, Sarah F. Hathaway and Chen Gibson. Chapter 34. Before the sun began to set, Cole set eyes on the Las Vegas entry gates. What about the people we left behind, Barry wondered. We'll send squads out for them, Cole answered. What do you mean, we'll? Are you going to join them again, Barry wondered. I'm not a landowner anymore. If I don't, I'll end up in the camp.

You and Ginger will be housed with the landowners, Cole responded. He was so tired of trying to pick a side. At least as a merc, he had a clear mission. Look at all those people going into the camp, Ginger marveled. There were many more people made homeless in the flood, Ginger. Someone has to stabilize the chaos. Force is the only thing people will respect. Maybe we wouldn't be in this position if I had done that in Peach Springs. We tried to help. It was the right thing to do, Barry told him. We did, and they still robbed us blind, Cole said heartbroken.

Trying to change the mood, Chappie noted. There's a city. Looks like the line isn't so bad today. A federal soldier approached the truck as it came to a stop. What town are y'all from? We have people from Kingman and Peach Springs, Cole told him. Looking at his paperwork, the Fed instructed, take your vehicles over to that line for refugee processing.

The Fed pointed to a long line. Hold on a second, Cole countered. A large group of these people has landowner status, and these two men and I are part of the mercs. The Fed looked at Cole skeptically, making a sucking sound with his front teeth. Do you and your men have IDs? No, but Radio Sergeant Bingham.

He'll vouch for me. The Fed smiled back smugly. He's clearing the city today. Let me get Captain Moreno on the line. Excellent, Cole replied, trying to sound confident. Fingers crossed this guy remembers us, Monroe commented quietly. Okay, the captain will see you and your two mercs, but everyone else get in the refugee line, the fed instructed. Barry looked at Cole nervously. Burgess, what is going on here? We were supposed to get landowner status.

Sharing his concern, Cole assured him, Sit tight. I'll get this straightened out. Barry and Ginger jumped out of the vehicle with their bags and headed towards a processing line. Cole turned the wheel to enter the fast track line and drove up to the gate. The gate clank sounded eerily depressing compared to the last time he heard it. Cole drove his truck to the back of the Luxor, where another federal soldier ushered them inside a refugee holding room. I got a bad feeling about this, Virgis, Chappie said quietly, smelling the bleach thick

in the air. Just relax. I'll figure this out, Cole assured him. It's a lot easier to relax in a chair, Monroe commented, looking at the stark conditions of their room. They waited in awkward silence until the doorknob slowly turned. The large man they had seen with Bennett entered with a smug grin. The soldier accompanying him provided the captain with a chair. He huffed as he sat down to address the men standing stoically in front of him. Cole, Virgis, Tim Monroe, and Bill Chappie. I am Captain Paul Areno, and as you can imagine, I have a busy schedule and many things to attend to, Captain Areno said bluntly. The soldier at the gate told the landowners from Peach Springs to get in the refugee line, Cole explained. The captain's words were cold as he replied,

That town is listed as Badlands Territory. They're refugees. And so are you, Mr. Virgis. Is Nicolton in town, Cole wondered. The mercs are out on Roundup, making you men my responsibility. Trust me, we have special accommodations for soldiers who no longer want to fight, the captain expounded, rubbing his hands together. The sound of his voice sent a chill down Cole's back, and he never regretted his decision to

leave more than he did at this moment. He had no response. He knew that his life was in this man's hands. To everyone's surprise, the door opened and a federal soldier entered. The Fed bent down and whispered to the captain. The captain was obviously irritated by the soldier's message and rose to his feet. Excuse me for a minute, the captain instructed, leaving to discuss the issue outside the door. As the door closed, Chappie fretted. What's going on, sir? I don't know, but somehow we will get a message to General McClintock.

We just have to go with the flow right now. And what about the people from Peach Springs? What about Ginger? Monroe asked. Right now I'm more concerned with saving our own skins, asked. Right now I'm more concerned with saving our own skins, Cole commented. The door opened and the captain returned momentarily. It appears I was mistaken. There is a Major General Barnes here to see you three. The captain left with a disgruntled look on his face. Oh shit, Major General Barnes is here, Chappie said with concern. I don't want to end up in a cage, Virgis. But Ginger can't. And you're cool with that, Monroe commented. Monroe, just relax.

We'll figure this out, Cole snapped. The last time I saw Major General Barnes, we didn't exactly part on good terms. The door opened, and Major General Barnes seemed to fill the room as he entered. The men stood stiffly saluting Barnes. Burgess, Monroe, Chappie. At ease, men, Barnes commanded. Yes, sir, the men replied stiffly. I was on my way to find you when the tsunami hit, Barnes commented.

My home was lost in the wave, Cole replied. We heard about the classification for Arizona well before the wave, Barnes explained. Chappie was surprised by the man's admission. You knew this was coming, sir? More or less, Barnes admitted. Arizona's lands aren't considered critical infrastructure. National triage, Monroe commented. Exactly.

However, you three are highly decorated professionals. It would be a waste to lose you to the refugee system, Barnes admitted. Why didn't General McClintock send for us, Cole inquired? Because I wanted to come myself. I wanted to ask you myself to accept your ranks back, Barnes explained passionately. Thanks for making an effort, sir, Cole started to say, but Barnes cut him off. Before you say anything else, let me explain. The feds are putting us in charge of the Badlands.

They will man Las Vegas, the California border checkpoint, and a southern checkpoint. We need a quality leader to oversee the refugee roundup here and maintain order once it's done. Burgess, you're the man for this job. If you don't take it, you're going into that camp, and who knows what will happen to all those free towns out here. Doesn't seem like we have much of a choice, Virgis commented. That's why I wanted to come myself, to show you that you are a respected member of the force, and it would be our honor to have you back, Barnes announced, extending his hand for a shake. Thank you, sir, Cole said, stepping forward to grip the man's hand. He turned around and asked his men, Monroe, Chappie,

what do you think? I think we'd be morons if we didn't accept, sir, Chappie concurred. I second that, sir, Monroe agreed. Cole turned to address Barnes. Looks like you got yourself a deal, Major General Barnes. Very good, Major Virgis. We have housing accommodations set up for you three. We have five squads ready to assist. We'll meet again in the morning for further debriefing, but this will be your show, Major. In the meantime, get some chow and some rest. You'll find clean uniforms in your rooms. Thank you, sir. Your country thanks you for your service, Barnes replied before leaving through the door. What if I told you you could own land

Hello and welcome back to the Changing Earth podcast. This is episode 432, season 15, episode 34. Hey, Chin, what's up? Shit's up, y'all. Man, why'd we have to stop?

I know. It was on fire. We were ripping's up, y'all. Man, why'd we have to stop? I know. It was on fire. We were ripping it up in the green room. I might have to put that up for our members, if Doug doesn't mind. That was righteous. So we have L. Douglas Hogan in the house. Hey, Doug, how you doing?

Hey, I'm good. I'm doing good. Chin and Sarah, how's things going on your end? Oh, man, I didn't mean to cut you off. Honestly, I was like, preach on, brother. I don't care if you include that later. It's totally cool. Yeah, I'll put that up for members. That was a fantastic intro to your new book and the projects that you're working on.

So I can't wait to get a hold of that. That's awesome. Cool. I can't wait to finish working on it. All right. Yeah, another project. Trust me, I know I'm up against the walls with projects.

So, we're up to, what are we up to? Episode 12 in the Changing Earth audio drama. So, Swenson's right behind her at the campfire, just waiting for Erica to walk back into the crowd.

So that was a fun place to leave it for everyone. I'm surprised I haven't heard more about that. Maybe everybody's read my books. I don't know. You might have read the back of the books. Right? Yeah, the back. Just go to the website.

You get the 411 on them pretty quick. But no, you just got done with an event you've been uh doing a bunch of classes um and so i'm interested to get you speaking to that because uh that kind of goes with our topic today um during the read virgus you know he doesn't really feel he has any other recourse rather than to take everyone to the FEMA camp there in Las Vegas. So we'll get into like the brainstorm of that scenario, but go ahead and let us know, like, what have you been working on? I want to hear about the Agenda 30 presentation that you did and how you're blending that with like the healthcare aspect and things like that, because that's really important right now. a presentation that you did and how you're blending that with like the healthcare aspect

and things like that. Cause that's really important right now. Sure. Cause like, I don't know, a year or two ago, I was invited by informed health choice, Missouri to come out and talk on surviving martial law. And they heard about me from another group in Missouri. I can't remember that group. I'm sorry, Robert Halderman, if you're out there, I'm sorry, I forgot the name of your group, but I went out to speak to them at one point and they heard of me from someone else so it's been this kind of word of mouth thing so I can get these invites

from word of mouth and so Informed Health Choice Missouri asked me to come out a year or two ago and talk on surviving martial law and I did that and then word got out to Guardians of Liberty which I'm going to talk to them Tuesday on Surviving Martial Law again. But in the meantime, they –

And you're teaching that class at Prepper Camp this year too, right? Yes. Yes, exactly. So if you guys want to get it, you've got to get out there to Prepper Camp with us. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So if you guys want to get it, you got to get out there to prep a camp with us. Yeah, yeah, right. And if you, I'll have, I'll have surviving martial law books there too. So if you don't want to order online, you just want to kind of wait for me. And then, you know, after the class, get an autograph version or whatever.

That's, that's really cool. Yeah. But Informed Health Choice, Missouri reached out to me again, and they asked me to come out and talk to them on Agenda 30. And that became because last time I talked to them about surviving martial law, I brought up Agenda 21, which used to be the name of it. But now, since it didn't pass, thanks to President Donald Trump, it became Agenda 30, right? So I had mentioned that, and they said, can you come back and talk about that later? I said, absolutely.

And then eventually they reached out to me and set up a date, and I made a little promotional video for them, and they plugged that in. And I just came back from an Agenda 30 class, which was the first time I ever taught that PowerPoint. And I always feel my first time is a little disorganized when I do a PowerPoint presentation, my teacher for the first time, because I usually, I like to add things to it up until the day that I go and talk because I'm reading it and I'm like, oh, you know, I'll be good here. And I kind of add to it. Right. And then you're like left thinking, maybe it wasn't all in the proper order.

Maybe, you know, this could have transitioned smoother to this section and that kind of thing. But all in all, I got a lot of accolades from it. And so I'm pleased about that. And as I did with the Survivor of Martial Law PowerPoint that I used to teach and turn that into a book, I'm going to take this PowerPoint, which is a lot bigger than an hour session that I was given to talk in. There's a lot more that I could put in there because Agenda 30 is huge and there's a lot going on with it. And there's a lot of moving cogs.

There's a lot of organizations involved. There's a lot of things going into it that most people don't consider. And I just want to kind of take all that together and put it into a book and present that. And so the option later on down the road, if somebody wants a full three-hour, two, we'll say two or three-hour talk on it, well, that will be available. But for now, I'm working on this book. As I just told you guys, we were in the green room. Yeah sounds phenomenal i'm kind of excited i'm calling it the program so that if you see a book come out of mine called the program it's it's on agenda 30. and what um how did they so i don't so for the audience out there that has

no idea of what this says at all can Can you do any kind of a summary, like just to get them kind of caught up with just some of the main provisions of Agenda 21? It was basically the 15-minute cities and things like that. You'll own nothing and be happy about it, right? Is all part of that same, am I right? Well, I think that's the end result. Like the end result of Agenda 30 is smart cities because then they control everything.

At the point they get you into a smart city, this is the end game. Right now we're talking Mark of the Beast stuff. We're talking AI. We're talking Internet of Things. We're talking blockchains. We're talking everything condensed together into a smart city. So not only do you have the internet of things, look it up. If you don't know what internet of things is, if you don't know what blockchain is, if you don't know what these terms are,

look them up because they're all going to be integrated into smart cities. And so in the end, this was prophesied over 2,000 years ago by John the Revelator. Read the book of Revelation. He talked about a mark that everybody will have to have in the right hand or in the end, this was prophesied over 2,000 years ago by John the Revelator. Read the book of Revelation. He talked about a mark that everybody will have to have in the right hand or in the forehead that they can't buy or sell unless they have this. And it's going to be, the Bible says, the number, it's called the mark of the beast and the number of his name. What's a barcode? This is something I have in my PowerPoint presentation. You see all those little lines on a barcode underneath that are numbers. thing i have my powerpoint presentation you see all those little lines on a barcode underneath that are numbers right so when you scan that at the cashier or your self-checkout wherever you

choose that number is scanned to the computer and the computer reads that number and that number correlates to the product everything you need to know about the product is in that number okay so that number will be in a microchip that many organizations across the world are already using. So when you get this implant in your body with a number in it, every human generates an electromagnetic field. Okay? So that acts as a battery. So when this reader comes close to it, that electromagnetic field is charged and the battery turns on inside that little chip. and the battery turns on inside that little chip.

And that number that's assigned to you goes to the reader and to the server and tells everything about you, your medical history, your finances, your family, where you've lived for the past 500 years, what you eat, what you buy, what movies, everything. Now imagine that in a smart city. Yeah. Your bank account can literally be turned off

because your finances everything are going to be plugged into this the government that's that's why i'm saying the the this age of digital currency that we're going into is the end it's the beginning of yeah i totally agree there is no rights for any person in this world if the government controls your money so a counter argument that I've heard to digital currency, which was interesting, is like the elites out there are scandalous with their money, and they wouldn't want certain people tracking their transactions either.

So why would they want a digital currency? I think there's some kind of a workaround that'll go on. Right? Yeah. So. Can you rephrase that? Because now you're talking about, like, if you're talking about the same thing, I'm kind of hearing you. Because they, you know, are hiding money, laundering money, moving money in areas, you know, the whole Biden scandal and all that as far as, you know, the family.

That's where blockchain technology comes in. Blockchain technology cannot be altered, manipulated, adjusted, or changed. Got you. So it gives them the jump through. That's where that comes in. Got you. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And so I've been trying to identify the they for a long time. It's like this mystical, magical they, right? But I think it's rather, rather apparent now who the they is. It is definitely a partnership between the corporations and the governments of the world. These elitist billionaires of the world in partnership with corporations, partnering with the governments to make this structure. Where are you seeing they at? Well, you know, everybody always says how they control you.

They. So who is the they, right? Yeah. That's what, you know, it's like, okay. Right? Who knows? Yeah. And I've watched videos like on the cabal, stuff like that, but it's like, okay, you

got, you know, there has to be some kind of identification point. Probably the best thing for them is not having an identification point because then there's nobody to hold accountable, which is one of the reasons why trusting the government is probably not a good idea at all. No, because here's the thing. Once once power is taken, it's never given back right or let's like if we give if we allow somebody couldn't power over us let's say for example well how many star wars fans we have in here you know remember when emperor before emperor palpatine was an emperor he was just a senator and he manipulated the entire galaxy into a galactic federation right and then he became the

emperor did he ever give that up did he ever did it ever go back to it sounds like it sounds like corny science fiction but that's how it is that's how it happened with adolf hitler that's how it happened with stalin once you get to a point where freedoms are given away the government never gives them back right unless it's smashed into oblivion by somebody who cares and we were kind of the last stand on that you know fighting against communism and not doing business with communist countries and i guess that's just all out the window now because of greed and ron reagan is gone right yeah just uh it'd be perfect if there was no greed, because then everybody, the ideas, the socialist ideas, this idea of like, oh, well, you can trust somebody to take care of you. Sure, you know, if there was no greed, that kind of thing.

It's the root of all evil. The Bible, you know, it's the love of money. What is the love of money? The love of money is greed. It's not money itself. Money is not, it's nothing. It's nothing, is the love of money? The love of money is greed. It's not money itself. Money is not, it's nothing. It's nothing,

literally nothing but paper and metal currency. But it's the, the love of money is greed. And greed is the root of all evil because every sin that we commit is based on some kind of greed, whether it's selfish.

Well, it's all selfish. All greed is selfish. All sin is selfish. It's what you want. I agree. I agree. Yeah. Scary stuff, man. I'm glad you're raising the alarm flag there. Now, how did you twist it in with the healthcare?

How did you put that spin to it? What kind of angle were you attacking to bring the healthcare aspect in? I didn't really have to do that. So I literally was, for example, I originally taught on surviving martial law. It's not, that has nothing really to do with healthcare. Right. They just wanted me to come and talk about it because Informed Health Choice Missouri, they, it's a, yes, it is medical, but they're also survivalist preppers. It's our people. Okay. So when they asked me to come back i didn't have to try to tie to tie any kind of medical health care or anything like that into it however however when you start talking about implants and the government controlling what you put in your body what you can and can't have which you know which can drink what kind of housing

you live in that's where in a sense health health care comes in. I think that the whole virus situation we just went through a couple years ago was really just a precursor to see like how far, you know, what can we get people to do, right? Absolutely. A test run. Yeah. It was just so willing. I don't doubt that for a second. interesting too because um having come from california one of the big um you know we're green and we eat farm to fork and non-gmo and all of this and then when you looked at like the specs of that vaccination it was literally like an mrna modifier it's like you are the gmo now

like and how long did it take to get those specs? For a long time, when you open up that piece of paper, there's nothing on it. Yeah. And that poor guy, I think he's in Pennsylvania. I can't remember. I think he's Amish or... The government's come in. The Pennsylvania government's come in to his... He's making his own food and people are buying food

off of him, but the government doesn't like that because they're not getting their cut. Wasn't the Amish guy, wasn't there't there a firearms avenue that involved as well i don't know but they're going to look for any avenue yeah and the government to come in and get their finger on something because it's about control it's always about control of the government and you know honestly on my podcast i don't usually um i do talk about being wary of um government control mostly from the aspect of like you know there was more crime inside of the superdome when katrina went down than there was outside so if you would have

been prepared you wouldn't have had to go to that government site and then you wouldn't be a victim to that crime right um right and i really try to stay away from politics and whatnot but um last last election during trump's election is the year that they that uh the powers that be of facebook totally wiped me out and you know you shouldn't be bitter or whatever but you know what um i had a lot of connections and stuff there i had paid the money to host my business there and all of this and to find out that your voice could be erased like years of work of putting it in of getting followers of making a presence so that you can um you know help people make informed decisions to just have that erased with just in one night was absolutely sickening you know so it's heart-sinking it's gut-wrenching because

i know we're not we're not i've talked to authors about well it's not about the followers it's sometimes sometimes it is because the more followers you have the the more your word is getting out the more the more it's not about money yeah we're making um you know prepared people equals prepared communities equals a prepared country to be able to handle this and what your audience yeah right to be able to handle it's like if you're just talking in your living room to your neighbor you know from next door what are you doing that's that's just one person right if you have a large network of people then your your your voice is getting out further yeah i get it because i'm on like my

second or third facebook account because i've been silenced so many times and i'm still heavily shadow banned right yeah i used to you know when i had thousands of followers i could put out something get hundreds of responses now i put out something i'm lucky to get six responses yeah absolutely absolutely every time and i mean even like like I have a big presence on Twitter and that, but it's still like the same. I don't know what the deal is there, but that really hurt. And so for the U.N. to come out with like information, misinformation is our biggest adversary. And like most of what you hear in the news is walked back days later. But they make a big deal out of it, the lie, when it happens.

And then they walk back the lie. But nobody ever pays attention to them walking back. They're literally out there misinforming people. And then, you know, but people with platforms like ours are the ones that are being targeted. And it's disgusting. It's 180 degrees. Everything they say, it's, it's disgusting. It's 180 degrees. Everything they say, it's 180 degrees.

Yeah. And not, and not everything that they're fact checking, like they have their own independent fact checkers, which they're all left leaning individuals. Anyway, I want to read to you real quick if I can something here from, and this was a Facebook post and I literally,

or I can't remember where it came from, but I screenshot this and i i because i dug it up and i found something and i i'm all about i do my own fact checking okay right but i don't i don't censor other people that's the difference all right so i saw this post is apparently from claus schwab schwab if you know who claus schwab is yep he's like like the chairperson for the world economic forum and this says from claus schwab's book the chairperson for the World Economic Forum. And this says from Klaus Schwab's book, The Great Reset, it says, at least 4 billion useless eaters shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars. And it goes on to say a bunch of stuff, right? And I'm like, well,

does it? Because I literally went and bought this book. Because if it says that, I'm going to like quote this, put it in my Genna 30 book right all right so i screenshot that and i and i did this i wrote this and i've been seeing this is a social i've been seeing this a lot in social media to be clear this quote isn't by globalist uh claude schwab although he may think non-elite peoples are useless i bought the book and did a search to see it for myself it's not there so i googled the phrase which I should have done in the first place, and it turns out it's from John Coleman's book, Conspirators, Hierarchy,

the story of the Committee of 300. A little bit of research goes a long way, I said. That got censored because somebody didn't like that. And I literally fact-checked. I got fact-checked by the fact-checkers. You got fact-checked by the fact-checkers, and they were like, nah, nah, you're not reading the book right.

No, it's like the 180 degree theory. They're saying it's fact checking, but in fact, it's burying the facts. It's not checking the facts. It's burying them. Yes. That's why

if this is, I don't understand what's going on. And so there's that, there's that saying that goes, you know, if you don't do something when they come for your neighbors, then there's going to be nobody left to do anything for you when they come for you, right? So, I mean, it's kind of the time. I don't think it's time for us to be quiet. I think for, I mean, it's kind of the time. I don't think it's time for us to be quiet. I think it's time for us to get louder because I think that, you know,

the voices have to be heard and the people have to be heard and know that they're not alone. We all know there's something coming down the pipeline. We all know that we're going into hard times ahead. Hopefully you've been preparing and not just dancing, you know, like a crazy person in the street or whatever but um you know we're gonna have to come together at some point if we want to weather the storm and it's just my opinion they'd rather do nothing more than to keep us all separated and just fighting in our corners so the voices have to be heard or else people just feel so alone i agree so yeah okay we squirreled on that

and i knew we would i knew we would tonight um so this situation let's take it to a simpler situation you're in a survival situation and you doug I know would do nothing more than not want to go into any kind of a government program because once you're inside the gate, you're inside the gate. So what's the line? What's your, like, when would you give in? Oh, yeah. Herein goes all the thousand variables all right because everybody knows that government assistance is the equivalent of government crack right okay once once you once it's it's like going okay i've never had crack before let me i'm feeling bad let me try this out and then you're addicted and then

you go back and then guess what when you go back well you know the first time was free you know but now i need you to do this now you got to pay this much the price has gone up you know um because they they know the the crack dealers know that they can give you that first freebie a little bit and you'll come back paying whatever you have to because you absolutely have to have it and that's the case with the government anytime the government gives you something it's just not nothing is for free first of all right side note somebody's paying for that us the taxpayer fair enough yep right uh point b uh is is now now that you you are taking something from government you you are now being regulated. Like now you owe them.

What do you owe them? And what is the line? Well, there's a lot of variables. Is it just you? Is it just you and your wife? Is it your wife, your dog, and your two kids, your wife, your dog, your three kids, your cousin and his family? You see what I'm saying? Yep.

Who are you taking care of? And what are you willing to sacrifice? Because it all boils down to sacrifice. It all boils down to what are you willing to lay down and how long are you willing to do this? Because once you say yes to something like that, you can't get out of it oh i love that personal sacrifice verse government assistance that's really what it is yeah yes yeah people don't want to sacrifice anything so they're just like please help us and then here comes the new laws and the new regulations and now you're just trapped yeah

so so so so you so you like that you like that that nanny program feeling you got there you like that buzz that we gave you with with the free food stamps you like you know you we're gonna cut your food stamps now because we feel that you're not you're not contributing enough to our little group here uh-huh you know and and where does it end right oh you you can't go now sorry we're talking about your your book right your your story stuff so so now if you if you're engaged in taking from uh from this new government which you know very little about at this point um how much are they going to take back from you in return and at what point are you going to become a slave to the system? These are the questions you have to ask yourself. If it was just me, no, no, no, no. A

thousand times no. I'll die starving to death, fighting, stealing. I'll do what I have to do to survive. But I love my family greater than myself. So that would be the hard thing for me. And then we'd have to come to an agreement, me and say, me and my wife, we got kids, you know, let's talk this through. Because this is where we're at. This is what we need. This is what they have. And this is what it's going to cost us. Is the sacrifice worth it?

I love that. And do you know all the fine print? Yeah. You won't. And they'll never yeah it's what they say it's gonna cost you but if you go back to the crack and the crack dealer it how many of those people look good after a year right they're on the street just you know you're letting lose all their bladder and everything else they're not better off for taking that drug and having a happy moment you know to get to go away from their sorrows their teeth are falling down their throats their necks all itching they're bald in their eyes are red uh they got tracks up down their vein their arms you know

and they got no clothes and they've given everything they've sacrificed everything for a feel-good moment so when we were in the green room, we were talking about how the states, that's how the federal government kind of keeps them on the drip, right? And so, yeah, I'm in Texas, so let's get into Texas a little. God bless Texas. I'm so glad that Governor Abbott stood up and was like, no, no more. Because it was just a ridiculous situation we have 31 crossings with bridges where people don't have to worry about drowning and everything like that you know um put up defenses and the the government the federal government literally removes it

some of those cities down there are sleeping like three people wide on the sidewalks everywhere i mean you know it's one thing for the government to not enforce border laws but it's another thing to encourage it it's to encourage the violation of breaking you know border immigration policies it's another thing to go and cut and to participate in this yes yeah let cartels cartels in let human trafficking in let the the them. Yes, let cartels in, let human trafficking in, let the fentanyl in,

let all this stuff come into the terrorists, come into the border, and now we have all these people in, and this is a true story. I know somebody who has a Mexican friend, and he's come over on Team Times. What he does is he comes over, gets free money from our government, goes back to Mexico, changes his name.

He just comes back and calls himself something different. And they don't check. Right. So they give him more free money. He's making $4,000 a month doing that. That is just insanity. The very definition of it. And here, you know, after that, remember early on when Texas first started putting up the Constantino wire, in comes this federal forklift lifting it up.

And you could see Border Patrol agents helping them across from the Rio Grande under, you know, the wire, the Constantino wire. I mean, it's total madness. And I understand a lot of these guys are doing what they're told, and they don't agree with it, you know. But there's also an oath that they all swore. And many people listening to this probably read my book, Oath Takers. That's what this is about. You know, at some point, you have to say no.

You have to have the moral courage and the ethical courage to stand up for yourself and the oath that you swore to the constitution and and not enforce unconstitutional laws in fact when you're told you something illegal you have an obligation to refuse it yeah and abbott's letter was beautiful i mean he cited out everything in our constitutional rights that says you know if the federal government's not going to because when when the union was made, Texas is a country, it's the Republic of Texas, right? We were our own Commonwealth. Yeah. And there's no way that Texas would have sided and gone into the United States Union if we didn't have the right to protect ourselves.

And so that was very carefully stated in there that yes, that does fall to the federal government. However, if the federal government can't do it, it's going to, and there's an invasion, it's going to fall back to the state, right? And that's exactly what they're invoking is that it is an invasion because quite literally it is. If these people had gun in their hands and uniforms on, we would call it nothing else other than an invasion. There's nothing in the Constitution that defines invasion. You know? Right.

You don't have to be armed to invade a country. Yeah, exactly. There was an article that China had done about if they ever went to war with Russia, all they would do is send a million people in there and then have them surrender and then send a million people in and have them surrender

and send a million people in and have them surrender and by the end of the week their systems would get so taxed from taking care of the extra extra population that they would crash the country what is happening here yeah well we're driving driving the dollars down yeah i was reading the uh fema report getting ready for tonight and and they had a whole thing about how the increase in populations putting more stress on all all the like the fema systems and all the first responders and everything else well let's just bring in millions of more people and see what that does to the stress on the system. Right.

By the way, the United Nations is funding $372 million to these illegal immigrants so they could be taken care of in their illegal crossing into the United States from Mexico. Yeah. That's where I keep thinking about your books. It's going to be the Blue Hat soldiers. Yeah. Yes. This whole thing is playing out exactly right.

So I wrote book one, the Tyrant series. Then I went back and wrote a prequel to that. So that prequel is literally what is happening right now. With the border being invaded and terrorists coming in as, you know, guised as. Oh, Johnny Homemaker. Yes. Mm-hmm. being invaded and terrorists coming in as you know guised as uh johnny homemaker yes but they come in and they're unchecked and they're they're you know nobody's vetting these guys and then what happens after that well we haven't got we haven't got to this point yet my story but but what happens next my story is people the terrorist part portion of that the bad element they start blowing stuff up in the United States.

Right. And then you've got to handle that. And then you've got your Texas people. Yes. But then you've got your Texas people, you know, and other people who are like-minded. They're being called radicals because they're extreme right-wingers. And so your conservative groups, are they going to become domestic terrorists? Because they're doing something about it.

Huh? The 180-degree theory. Yes. Yeah. All over the place. And so your good guys. because they're doing something about it huh the 180 degree theory yes yeah and so you're good guys good call has become evil evil has become good yeah i don't know it is just uh and and what a corner now for um the president to be backed into like you're you're kind of damned if you do damned if you don't now i mean he's either gonna have to step back and allow texas to do it or he's going to have to threaten one of the states within his union uh well here's the scary part sarah i i really don't think that this guy is making any decisions yeah i just think he's a front man he's a face he's a muppet there's and this is just me i don't i don't know this 100 certainty but i would if i was a gambling man

say that brock obama michelle obama behind this yeah i don't know who's behind again who's the they but um i can tell you that you can look at um biden speeches and he must have had a severe 180 in his life because everything that he used to support um he doesn't support now and his eyes are just completely blank i mean just like blank when you when you see him you're just like are you serious what what do they have this guy on i mean um he used to have a little he used to have a spark of intelligence there at least he could recognize other people's good work and try to make it his own and things like that but um yeah yeah i have no idea like so what so what do you think about i, we're already deep into the political scheme.

What do you think the Democratic Party is going to do about this election? Because they're making a big deal about the Trump run up. That seems to be all they're talking about is the Republican side. But are they really just going to put Sleepy Joe back up? Or do you think they'll use their superdelegate and throw somebody like Newsom in there? You know, you guys, I'm going to sound stupid for saying this on its own but I'm going to say it at risk anyway the news on TikTok is more genuine than anything CNN and Fox and other mainstream media groups but I'm telling you because you're seeing stuff that's that's being that's being

you get you get your epic epic times you know i follow epic times i follow some some legitimate i just don't watch the mainstream i mean i do but i don't i don't put a lot of weight i watch them on rumble i can't do the tiktok thing it just i just well there's algorithms if you if you if you there's i don't you know where i'm there's algorithms and that's why i get i get feeds i get to pick out pretty well choosing you know the algorithm finds out what i like to watch and i see these things and so i get a lot of videos on the well choosing, you know, the algorithm finds out what I like to watch and I see these things. And so I get a lot of videos on the Texas, you know,

we'll call it a standoff. Right. Some other things that are going on in the world. And people go down there with their little cameras, their cell phones. They take videos and stuff. That's the stuff I care about because I can see that. It's not just somebody going on Fox news and,

and putting up a picture that could tell a million words, but it's not the real million words. It's not the true story. And some of the pictures aren't even true these days. Right. And I saw a video of a huge migrant caravan, which I recognize as a 2018 caravan. Right. You see what I'm saying? Yes.

So that's what I'm talking about. So it's not always... I like the news stuff. No, no, no, but fake news, right? Yeah. Which is a Trump slang, the left That's what I'm talking about. So it's not always, I like the news stuff. No, no, no, but fake news, right? Like, I mean. Which is a Trump slang, the left, you know, Trump word that the left now like to use. Yeah, yeah. And it always seems like everything they're accusing everyone Obama, Big Mike, to run as president.

And I don't know if he's going to do it or not, but that's what I've heard. And so that's going to be interesting. Yeah. Oy, this is why I don't do politics, see it's just man blood pressure gets up i know and it's just so frustrating like um as a good person who only wants to see like the best kind of things for everybody it's just really frustrating to know that there's like people out there that would just um hold themselves in such high esteem that they would um you know want ill things oh well it's for the good of the people right i mean obviously i write about it all over in my books but uh who's good though right you know it's like

who's who decides that who decides what's right and wrong? God. To us. I mean, right. But when the government's in charge, the government says... Well, that's the problem. They don't have a basis for their moral judgment. When it's left in the hands of humans, there's no basis for that stand. It's just your opinion of what's good and bad. So it can always be argued, pushed, prodded, and there's no standard. Which is why conservatives are always

held accountable and liberals are not yeah conservatives have morals and ethics liberals do not therefore there's no standard to hold them to we even hold ourselves accountable more you know i got all the a word yeah right yeah so okay speaking of i'm gonna get to changing earth news today but um all right so we've had season three going on season four honestly is um over halfway written right now because i'm just so excited to get through that season and be able to record that one um but of course since you're playing tj i've got to ask you about some of the storyline stuff um get the tj response right have i have i have i uh i can't remember if i've recorded this this stuff i know i'm not caught up with the audio so i hope these questions you're about to ask me i'm caught up on you you've already recorded them. So beginning of season three, Swenson loses Ryan.

Ryan gets killed by Erica's kid. And Ryan was like one of Swenson's main dudes. He was out chasing her. Right? So I was like, okay, you just lost one of your main guys. Not good. Yep. Yuri and Sergei go up to get her up in Montana,

and they miss her by, like, seconds, right? Well, if you want something done right, you got to do it right. Right, right. Swenson was all tied up with Hernandez at that time. And Hernandez is the wheelchair. He is in a wheelchair from TJ beating the hell out of him one night. So that was, right, that was classic. That was good stuff.

And then Margaret and the lie and the baby. Did that one catch you off surprise? Yeah. Babies, especially when you think about babies being born in this time frame, it's like, be careful. Right? Yeah. It's like, you really want to be raising a baby in this kind of environment? Right now?

But what do you do? You got to be fruitful. So, but that one was classic um and then um finally gets the go to go north to go after erica um and i just loved your uh when you were done recording you're like oh he's right there i was like yep so i know that was like a bad part to leave everybody with but um had to be done i'm almost done with the end of this with putting together this uh season three so yeah so how's the three's all been recorded right scene three's all been recorded so the stuff you've sent me is the season 4 stuff?

It's for season 4. Yeah. No spoilers allowed. I know. No spoilers. Right? Chin was always trying to catch me on spoilers. And now that he knows the stories longer, you're just like, oh, I can't say that.

Oh, no. I'm like, yeah. Now you know. Because in my mind, it all gets kind of curjumbled sometimes because i'll like exactly i record like a season three listen to season four but i'm also recording season five it's like where are we at yeah tell me just air to know where were that yeah yeah on the podcast what what book, what season, a chapter of a Virgis. Are we actually airing?

Yeah. I'm in like eight spots of my stories all at once. So like, so I gotta be extra careful. Yeah. Only it is only to answer questions when, when the impromptu data, not to say anything more.

Yeah. Don't take this personal Doug, but I would always ask her if we got Swenson yet. Did Swenson die in this episode so swenson ain't gonna die yeah he's like dude i hate that guy i'm like oh he's getting his own story now yeah you better mind your footing boy oh my goodness i spoke out of turn oh that was the best at uh prepper camp when you just walked up on ryan and just for us all yuri what are you doing he's eating his taco just fumbles yeah he was spitting spitting burger out of his nose at that point he was he was it was hilarious

so well that's gonna be fun i totally scared the hell out of him. He thought that Swinson was right behind him. I heard his butt pucker shut real tight. Seriously. He saw the boom. He didn't even know you. That was the first time you met him. That would be unnerving. Now he knows.

I'll have to make sure next time I walk behind him not to make any noise at all. Yeah, right. Do the sneak up yeah you'll see me coming otherwise what are you doing oh i'm i almost spoilered out myself i'm gonna have to just peel off that conversation it's easy if we keep sarah talking long enough yeah that's true i'll be like so the part where oh no no no no you just did a homer well you gotta catch up man because um yeah those those uh scenes at the end of uh season of the block that i just put out that that's some good material everybody's really up their game. It's been good.

Now I got new music. The material you just published? No, the audio dramas that just came out. Those ones. They're all up right now. I'm just waiting to do the end of the show. I have one more. I have episode 16 to put together and then we'll be putting that up. We'll do another

blooper episode soon for everybody yeah because i've been i've been on the bloopers i've been doing i've just been uh because used to i used to cut everything i used to just i got tired of doing that and i'm like ah this is too much work just dicing everything right yeah and i feel i feel crappy for that because that what i'm doing is pushing my work off on you then. No, you know what? I have to take the, I have to take the, you know, I take this word out and put it with this one,

put it, I have to cut it up anyway as I go. Right. Cause it's got to go into a conversation. And there's times when you guys are like goofing around or whatever. And I actually take some of the goofy stuff and use it in other places. Or, you know, I use some of it. So it's good.

It's good. Like the big belt she left me on the last one. Oh, you like that? You can use that. Because I actually gave you, yeah, I remember she sent me some sound effects at one point of grumbles and groans and things like that. These are things she can use. Yeah, the bag work that you just did as well um giving me the sounds of the heavy bag that was nice spectacular yeah now i'm gonna have to do it for my character so i think one time i even

ate like when i was eating i i like ate with a mouthful of food right complete the experience yeah yep no i actually like that. I like it. It makes it more candid. So good. Good stuff. Good stuff. All right. Well, I'm going to whip out the change in earth news real quick.

You want to stick around? Are you going to take off? What do you want to do? I'll stick around. Listen to the news. All right. Let's let's rip through some change in earth music real quick or some change in earth news real quick.

I'm going to play that weather music. All right. quick or uh some changing earth news real quick i'm gonna play that weather music all right so today is january 28th 2024 had an interesting week kind of highs and lows so um today as far as what's happening on our sun we do have some large coronal holes holes facing earth we We're looking for earthquake uptake associated with those. We got a big one last night in Brazil. There are some large plasma filaments, but everything appears to be stable. There's also some incoming sunspots, but they're looking pretty stable as well. Of course, we have to keep eyes on those because you never know what can happen with those. It has been a cold week in the United States. We've had some crazy weather all across the board.

So on January 22nd, there was 407 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger, biggest of which was a 7.0 in Xinjiang, China. It was a huge earthquake that hit China. They had a massive landslide associated with that event. 18 homes were buried by the dirt. 500 people had to be evacuated out of just that situation. And 44 people unfortunately lost their lives. Two people were rescued okay out of that landslide specifically. But it was a nightmare of a scenario. They're just as cold as we are right now. And a lot of people just lost homes. So they're out there bearing the weather and a big old earthquake. In the United Kingdom, in Ireland, Storm Aisha hit. Three people died

in that event. Tens of thousands of people people without power they had 107 mile an hour wind gusts um so roofs were getting ripped off they've just been at it it's been really trying for them in the southwestern united states san diego was hit with a thousand year storm a thousand year um we've we've talked a lot about the hundred year storms the decade storms this was a thousand year storm um thousands of people without power millions of dollars of damage happening down in san diego it is an absolute uh mess down there and you know they have that large homeless population there as well so with all that flooding i bet you it's just doing awesome things in the dominican republic republic they had flooding due to intense rainstorms 455 homes

were lost there northwestern mexico they had the same storm hit that hit um san diego affecting tijuana and central eastern brazil they had intense flooding that's affecting homes and businesses. And Panama was hit with a super tornado. So all of that cold air was pressing down, hit that tropical air. They had some serious storms raging across Central America. Panama has hit with a tornado. On the 23rd, there was 507 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger, biggest of which was the 6.3 in Venatu.

Northwestern China, that earthquake that hit, they had another event, was only eight miles deep, three more people killed, more injured, 1,500 displaced, and 1,500 homes destroyed. In northern Colombia, they're having a severe wildfire event there. 27 active forests burning. Two states of emergency were declared. One of those was in Bogota. In Russia, this is on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east. They had a severe snowstorm. They had snowdrifts six foot deep. So you're literally making a path to your doorway at this point.

Obviously, public transportation was down. We're talking Siberia, though, in the wintertime. In central eastern Brazil, the rain just got worse and worse uh got really really deep cars absolutely buried in that rain so it was a multi-day event and then there was a huge wave that smashed into the u.s military base on the marshall islands if you guys haven't seen pictures of that you should go and check that out. You see that poor lady outside the door? Right, that just got smashed right through it? Yeah, dude, it was crazy.

I'm like, that's why I don't do islands right there. Nope, no thank you. All right, on the 24th, there was 481 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger, biggest of which was a 5.5 in Kyrgyzstan. There was a 6.2 in the Guatemala region. Southeastern Texas had flash flooding due to heavy rain. There was 14 inches of rain that came down in some Texas town, luckily not mine. But the southern United States, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi all saw flooding. Some of the

areas had one month's worth of rain in one day, including Baton Rouge. The north was pretty much rebounding from extreme cold. We're talking New York, Montana, the Dakotas, Oregon, Tennessee, and others. That cold that came through killed over 90 people because of the extreme weather. And Canada, Ontario, Canada, got hit with the same severe snowstorm that Michigan, New York did. The UK was hit by another storm.

This is the second storm that came through, Jocelyn. It canceled flights in London and just really walloped all of the UK all over again. And then there was an extreme flooding event in Malaysia that only got worse and worse. And by the 26th, some of the homes were completely flooded all the way up to their rooftops. So it just kept going and going. On the the 25th though there was 453 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger biggest of which was a 5.6 in indonesia there was a 4.2 magnitude in san bernardino in socal and there was a 3.5 in louisiana which is i always keep an eye out

for those weird ones especially around um the New Madrid fault line there. Louisiana is a little far south, but interesting to see an earthquake pop up there. Snow absolutely paralyzed Chicago. That's up at your neck of the woods, a little way north of you. There, Doug, you get a bunch of snow at your house? We didn't get any snow. We got a lot of rain recently, and before that we had some ice. Okay.

You must be just below where that line is. What was the line again? Like in Illinois, Chicago probably takes more snow and ice storms and stuff like that than southern Illinois. They don't have it all. They deserve it, but I'm way down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they sit right on the lake, so I'm way down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they sit right on the lake, so I'm way down south,

close to Missouri, Mississippi border. Because Chicago used to get pretty much in line with what Michigan did. Okay, where are we at? Colombian wildfires still going crazy. Northwestern Iran got a heavy snowfall, which is always interesting to see the desert covered in

snow um northeastern australia curly that's the name of the tropical cyclone curly um made landfall 170 mile an hour wind gusts just ripping with wind um storms, ripping roofs off, and then just torrential downpours as well. They saw some flash flooding actually today from that coming through. Iceland, there was, in the southwest, there was a major ice storm. 36 accidents happened on their highways there. Same with Alaska. They had a massive snowstorm with a 37 vehicle pile up due to low visibility because of the fog that rolled in 13 people were injured there on the 26th there was

423 earthquakes are 2.0 or bigger biggest of which was a 5.3 in japan on the philippine sea columbia calling for international aid at this point to help battle these wildfires and um in brazil they got hit again with more rain on their um central eastern side and this huge water spout that started up out in the ocean in indonesia they've had intense rain past three days river settlements are being flooded from the overflowing rivers. On the 27th, there was 444 earthquakes that are 2.0 or bigger, biggest of which was a 6.1 in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. There was a severe earthquake uptake at Kilauea.

They're keeping their eye on that one. And there was a 3.3 earthquake in Northern California. Wilmington, Illinois. Is that anywhere near you? The Keneckany River? Keneckany? Never heard of it. River that's overflowing.

There was an ice jam in it. And it's broke and overflowing. And then the Iceland volcanoes keep continuing to go. They're now worried about, I cannot say the name of this city. It begins with an R though. And they're worried about that city getting hit by lava flows as well. So Grindavik's already getting hit and now they're worried about this other place. And there's like a blue lagoon up there that people go visit. Also, it's just a lot of lava going on in Iceland right now. on the 28th there was 420

earthquakes that's today that were 2.0 or bigger biggest of which was at 6.5 that we saw in brazil last night it was a deep quake so we didn't see much damage from it thank god um queensland australia getting hit with that flash flooding and also they're having severe flooding in Pakistan and India right now. As far as volcanic eruptions go there's 28 volcanoes actively erupting mostly in Indonesia that's up one from last week there's 15 showing unrest mostly in South America Pacific Ocean region that's down one from last week. And there's 32 showing minor activity, also down one from last week. So one of them has come off our list.

And we have no states reporting wildfire right now. So that's always a good thing. All right. That is the Micro Machines version of Changing Earth News right there. There's a lot going on. Right? I know.

The earthquake starting it out was pretty crazy. The pictures coming out of China is insane. Just of the landslide and everything that happened there was pretty bad. I'm surprised as big as that country is, a landslide like that will catch any person. I think a lot of times they build down at the bottoms of the base of those mountains because it's so fertile there. You know, there's a lot of non-fertile ground. Yep. So, makes sense.

Same with Indonesia. I mean, they're always getting walloped but the ground there is so fertile fertile because of all the volcanic rock and whatnot so um it's your trade-off i'm not going there though either either sorry indonesian people i'm not coming for a visit no islands no islands no islands no base of a volcano. I'm good. Pompeii, here I come. Right? Yeah.

That would just be my luck. I'm like, no. So. Alrighty. Well, thanks guys very much for joining us. Doug, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show. I could just have you on like every time. We'd just be squirreling all over the place though.

I know. Why'd you cut off the green? We need to go back to the green. were going hot and heavy right off the storm i know how much of that got caught uh at the front oh i've i've got it all i've recorded you the whole time you just don't know it there you go you're gonna watch yourself right there i'm glad you have no video. Right? No, I don't want to forget. If I start it later, I forget that I am in trouble. So, no. It was hot and it was good. So, yeah, feel free to share that.

Yeah, I'll put it up, like I say, on the members area. And then performers in the show, you guys get access to it anyway. So, you're good to go. At least they'll see and know that I am Bible-based. It's not all just political stuff. I'm very Bible-based. Yeah. No, and I appreciate that big time. So I think that's where our focus needs to stay, because there's just so much. It can be overwhelming if your faith is not strong. Yeah, because people get caught up in the fleshy stuff,

the stuff that you can see and hear and how you feel your emotions. That's all part and parcel of what's really going on. Right. All right, and then you've got to get caught up on the podcast so that you can go ahead and do a TJ rant for me when we do the blooper show. Okay, I'll rant it out. Alright, let's close up the show. Thanks again for coming.

If you guys want to find Doug, I mean, now he's on the PBN community, so obviously you can find him there. Where else are we going, Doug? LDHogan.com. You can pretty well find me everywhere. That's not my base of operation anymore.

So I got some, find my podcasting there. You can find my books there, which will take links back to, you know, Amazon and stuff like that. So therein it lies. All right. I love it. Making it, keeping it easy. Yep. All right.
