what it really is and probably some of the long-term implications of this plan, this visionary plan by the powers that be. If you are new to prepping, I want to say, you know, welcome. If you've been searching around, you know, looking at podcasts and looking at different internet sites and looking for information, and you happen upon, you know, us here at PBN, I just want to say, welcome, welcome, welcome. And to all the old hands, I, you know, I want to say, well, welcome back. Keep coming back to PBN. We love to have you. So if you are not familiar with pepperbrocasting.com,

then I would encourage you to, you know, hop on over when you have a chance and check out the the um the the uh website uh you know it's uh it's uh it's a it's a website that was that has uh you know been put together pretty much by uh james walton uh pretty visionary guy and uh you know it's all about saving lives over at pbn at prepper broadcasting dot com and helping you uh to um to, you know, helping you in your prepping journey. And it doesn't matter where you are on the road to preparedness, right? You know, if you're a beginner, it's a great place to start. And if you're an old hand, then, you know, regardless of where you are on the continuum of prepping,

you will always find things to help you to tighten things up and to further you on your own individual journeys. So welcome to PBN tonight, as I said, we're going to be talking about the Great Reset. But first, you know, I just want to just mention that at, you know, on, on PBN, there are nightly live shows that you can, that cover a wide range of proper topics and, um, prepare, um, you know, issues, right? You know, um, you know, social issues, you know, things that are going on socially are covered as well as, you know, um, you know, uh, prepper topics, you know, like different things, you know, that preppers are doing, or, you know, sometimes the hosts, they'll test certain things or they'll make certain things and, you know, they'll always sharing. They're always sharing their ideas. So, our nightly shows, actually, we begin on Sundays with Stephen Menking with Reliance.

An examination of 21st century faith. You know, Stephen always gives us a great sermon to start the week. And if you're Christian or if you're just a person of faith, it's a great way to begin your week days. On Sundays, we have Prepar's Live, which, you know, James will either have a guest on that will, you know, and they'll discuss. something related to prepping or some important social issue that, of course, impacts prepping. You know, he had Sarah Hathaway on, and it was a really great show. If you haven't listened to that Preper's live show, look it up with Sarah Hathaway, you know, the Changing Earth, and they really got into, you know,

I think that we get sometimes, sometimes we can get a little bit myopic in terms of the things that we really kind of pay attention to. You know, I think that we tend to kind of gravitate a lot more or what I do anyway to, you know, what's going on, you know, in the news socially, right? And a lot of times, you know, there are the things that are, you know, that are equally important. important that sometimes just get completely ignored. And, you know, the Earth is changing and doing its thing. And the more you are aware of what's going on with our planet, you know, the more prepared you're going to be, you know, just in case something actually occurs. So it was a great show on the other night.

I learned a lot. So check that one out. Check that episode out. You know, Preper's Live with Sarah Hathaway. Check that one out. On Mondays, too,

we also have the Ham Radio study group. And I am going to fill you guys in. I got through all of the chapters of the study guide. And I actually took the the practice test. And I did pass the practice test. I am still not, I don't think I'm ready yet. I am going to go back through the material again.

And I'm going to take a bunch of different practice tests. But I've never gotten this far before. And it was a real, real rush. You know, taking that practice tests. practice test, finishing off that last chapter. And, you know, as I said, without the study group, that commitment to, okay, you know, this is something that I'm doing every Monday night. And, you know, I read the material when I get a chance during the week. It was a really, you know, it was a really great way to get me at least to this point. So,

I want to say thank you. And I am going to be, you know, pushing on. I really want that ham radio license. You know, it would be a real accomplishment. I've been trying for a really long time. So that's on Mondays. On Mondays, as I said, we have the HAM Radio Study Group. And if you want to be a part of the HAM Radio Study Group,

And these guys, great chemistry, a lot of fun. they really do a deep dive into the issues, the important issues of, you know, the day, the week. And they're really good at breaking down the what's going on economically.

And I know that a lot of preppers are really worried about an economic collapse. so uh you know um if if if if you're one of uh you know if you're someone who is concerned about uh you know where the country is going uh in terms of its economic uh you know growth and health then uh you know give these guys uh give these guys a listen on tuesday's future dan and ben Cochran the patriot power hour on Tuesdays uh On Wednesdays, we have our intrepid commander, James Walton, with the I Am Liberty Show.

And I want to read it. And I just want to say to all the mothers that are listening to this podcast, I want to say a heartfelt thank you. You know, we live in a world that, you know, is increasingly hostile to, you know, the traditional things. you know, the traditional conservative Christian way of looking at things.

possible. So thank you. So here's a poem. It's called My Mother And I'll just read it It says My mother Who sat and watched my infant head

When sleeping on my cradle bed And tears of sweet affection shed My mother When pain and sickness made me cry Who gazed upon my heavy eye And wept for fear that I should die My mother Who taught my infant lips to pray

And love God's holy book and day And walk in wisdom's pleasant way My mother And can I ever cease to be affectionate And kind to thee Who was so very kind to me My mother Ah, no, the thought I cannot bear

And if God please my life to spare I hope I shall reward They care My mother When thou art feeble, old and gray, My healthy arm shall be thy stay And I will soothe thy pains away, My mother.

So thank you and our heartfelt, you know, thanks to all the mothers out there Who are listening to this podcast. All right. So, as usual, we're going to start with some interesting news, right? And some interesting news stories broke recently. The first thing that I'll read about, and this got a lot of people's attention, was the cyber attack that shut down the largest gasoline pipeline in the United States, right?

And this occurred, I would say, fairly recently occurred over the last 24 hours, right? I'm reading an article from Zero Hedge here by Tyler Durdon, and the title of the article is Cyber Attack Forces Shutdown of Largest Gasoline Pipeline in the United States. And it was written on Saturday, May 8th. And it says, the largest gasoline pipeline on the East Coast, and the U.S. in general was shut. shutdown on Friday after its operators struggled to contain a cyber attack which threatened its systems. The 5,500-mile colonial pipeline, which is the single largest refined products pipeline in the United States,

halted transit as the company was forced to take certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations, according to the Wall Street. Street Journal on Saturday. It's reportedly still offline into early Saturday. And they said, here in the article, Colonials Network is responsible for supplying fuel that originates from refiners on the Gulf Coast to most of the eastern and southern U.S., accounting for over 2.5 million barrels per day in gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel and other refined products. transferred, making up to 45% of all the East Coast fuel supply. It spans from Texas through southern states and up to New Jersey.

Wow. And further down in the article, it says, The disruption earlier in the day, Friday, saw Gulf Coast cash prices for gasoline and diesel push lower through longer-term price effects, though longer-term price effects will depend. on just how long the lines remain shut. If the closer persists further into the weekend or even early next week,

it is very likely to send gasoline prices soaring. Wow. This fresh cyber attack against vital American infrastructure has reportedly already seen federal agencies and law enforcement get involved alongside a third-party cybersecurity firm brought in by colonial to launch an investigation. Wow. They're saying ransomware was used in the attack and, you know, but, you know, this is going to get

more common, I think. I think that our enemies, right, our adversaries are going to target our critical infrastructure. And, you know, it's one way to keep us off balanced, right? You know, I keep saying, you know, these things just seem that little test runs to me. I think sooner or later there's going to be something really serious. And, you know, we're going to have to, well, preppers, be prepared. Because it's almost inevitable, right?

It's coming. It's coming. All right. The other article that got my attention was in the Washington Times. and this one was written by Peter Vincent Pry, and it's dated Tuesday, May 4th, 2021. And it says, let's see. The title of the article is called

America's National Security hinges on ICBMs. ICBMs and their 400 ever-ready warheads are the most important part of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. And the article goes on to say, The fate of Western civilization may hinge on the great debate nor raging within Washington's Beltway, virtually unnoted, unnightly news, and unknown to most Americans,

over whether to replace the nation's 400 obsolete Minutemen three intercontinental ballistic missiles, ICBMs, with a new ICBM, or unilaterally eliminate all U.S. ICB. BMs. They shouldn't even be thinking about eliminating any of them. It says, goes on. Nuclear Armageddon's arithmetic is more real and easier to understand that the alleged existential threat from climate change, subtract 400 credible ICBMs from the U.S. nuclear deterrent and Russia, China, and even North Korea or Iran could do a nuclear Pearl Harbor by making a surprise attack on three

US strategic bomber bases and two ballistic missile submarine ports. Just five targets altogether. Deterring this scenario since the 1970s is the Minuteman 3 ICBM, now 50 years old, originally designed to last 10 years nearing end of its last possible life extension program. Minute Man still stands guard, ready to launch in minutes, responding to a surprise attack, unlike U.S. nuclear bombers or ballistic submarines. U.S. bombers are not maintained nuclear armed or strip alert, and so would be destroyed in a surprise attack. Surprise attack on just two ports would destroy two-thirds of 14 U.S. SSBNs normally birthed,

while the three, the three-four SSBNs normally on patrol at sea would require hours to respond to an emergency action message, EAM, ordering them to launch missiles. ORIS can become forever in a nuclear war that kills the National Command Authority, uses electromagnetic EMP to fry communications, links for transmitting EAMs, and unleashing decades of enemy planes. planning and secret weapons designed to destroy the small number of U.S. SSBNs hiding at sea. Wow. And it goes on to say the question is yet unanswered, but we may well soon find out if U.S. ICBMs are junked, while Russia, China, and North Korea continue their one-sided nuclear arms race building new ICBMs. This is an article that I think... Every prepper should take a look at.

And I'll, it's in the Washington Times. The title of the, the article is called America's National Security Hinges on ICBMs. Take a look at this article. Read it all the way through. It's an education. So, yeah, they're having this. This debate right now, right, on whether or not they should replace these things or should, you know, they should junk them, right? Who knows how that's going to come out, but we can only hope that they decide to replace them, you know, or keep them around if that's not possible right now.

Wow. The last article that I look at is one that's on the end time headlines and the title of the article is if we're experiencing severe shortages now how bad will things get when the economy starts tanking again and of course this one is written I believe by Mike Snyder there

right but the article says inflation and shortages are the two big stories for the u.s economy this week in recent days i've done multiple articles about inflation and so today i want to focus on the widespread shortages that we are currently witnessing at this moment the u.s economy is experiencing more shortages than it did at any point during 2020 i know that statement sounds quite unlanish but it's true during the early stages of the pandemic they were temporary shortages of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, other items, but now there are severe shortages throughout many sectors of the economy, and quite a few of those shortages will not be so temporary. On Thursday, Business Insider published a list of some of the most serious shortages

that we're going through at the moment. And here are some of the shortages. Now, I think that as preppers, this list might be important. I guess it is going to to, you know, it's important. I'm going to read the list, right? Because this has some serious ramifications, you know, for the rest of the year and even into early 2022. So here are the list of shortages that are being experienced at the moment. Computer chips, used cars and rental cars, gas, plastics and palm oil, truckers and ride share drivers, homes and vacation houses, lumber, wholesale products like toilet paper and tampons, furniture, chicken, bacon, and hot dogs, imported foods like cheese, coffee, and olive oil, chlorine, corn. Now, I know that James on one of his show, he talked about what was going on with coffee, right?

And here it is, right? This list, you know, it came from the business insider, right? And it's on the list of shortages. So maybe now's the time to get your coffee right. As a matter of fact, let me just take a little sip of some disaster coffee right now. Let's see. Good, good coffee, right? And the proceeds, some of the proceeds go towards a good cause.

You should go over to disaster coffee.com and check it out, right? I like the pandemic blend. It's always my favorite if you listen to this podcast, right? That's what I drink a lot of that. And the one I want to try is the civil unrest. So go over to Disastercoffee.com and put your order in. I know that James, I think he said he has the bunker beans are back where you can buy the beans in bulk. Take a look at that.

because coffee's on the list. I'll read the list again, right? Let's see, it says computer chips, use cars and rental cars, gas, plastics and palm oil, truckers and ride share drivers, homes and vacation houses, lumber, wholesale products like toilet paper and tampons, furniture, chicken, bacon and hot dogs, imported foods like cheese coffee and olive oil chlorine corn that that's that's that's you know that's that's that's a good side that's a good list man okay so i i i just wanted to um i just wanted to uh throw that in because uh i know that uh a lot of preppers have been uh uh

aware that there are shortages going on. Even here, you know, when I go to the, when I go to the supermarket, my son really loves the, the egos, the, what you call them, the chocolate chip pancake egos. And, you know, first there, first we could go in and we could find a few, And now there's none.

So that has actually gotten worse over time to the point now where I go into the store a couple times a week, you know, just looking for it. And I can't find any. So there are shortages. And, you know, and I think as preppers, we're a little bit more attuned than, you know, the average person out there because, you know, we're paying attention to these things a lot more close. And I'm sure all over the country, you know, these shortages are popping up. And if you're listening to me overseas, right, you might be experiencing some shortages yourself. You know, you go into the stores.

You might not be seeing certain foods, right? So it's not just a U.S. issue here. I think this is a worldwide issue. It's a worldwide supply issue. And it's affecting, it's affecting, you know, I would say, you know, every country out there, right? Let me give a special shout out to our overseas listeners. Right? I know that we have a lot of people who listen to these podcasts who, you know,

who listen to PBN on a regular basis, you know, overseas so I just want to say thanks thanks for the support okay so this is a good time now to pivot a little bit now to our main topic for the night right and our main topic is you know should we should we be prepping really for the 19th century right you know I'm sure that you've all heard about the Great Reset, right? And the Great Reset just in another form package, right? The Green New Deal. It's all the same thing, right?

It's a bunch of people who are seriously aboard the climate change train, right? and they really believe that in order to save the planet, then that means the world, the way everything is done now has to change. You know, so that life can, you know, can become, as they say, more sustainable. right it's really amazing to me just the arrogance of the whole thing

and you know it's it's if you're if you are if you question any part of it you know then you're called a climate change denier right you know it's the whole let me just you know set set my opponent

on fire thing that they do, right? Like, yeah, they just completely like shut you down, hunt you down and take you out is, is what they do. But they're very serious about this. Okay. And, you know, a couple weeks ago, okay, uh, project Veritas, uh, you know, exposed some, uh, exposed, uh, some of CNN's, uh, what we knew what was going on at CNN all the time in their bias and and you know they're pretty much just a political arm of the Democratic Party I mean the guy that runs them used to run NBC and you know they you know they're all they're all in bed together right they're all they all think alike they all want the same thing they're all on board right and they're not really journalists anymore they're just political

activists masquerading as as journalists but Project Veritas, right? Got busted, you know, they busted CNN, I should say. Project Veritas busted CNN, right? And, you know, I'll read, I'm reading here from CNN's business model, profit from fear, hate, and division. This is from, this is published in the New York Post, right? this says from the editorial board in New York Post right and he says here

I'll just read this right in the tapes Chester right Charles Chester right Project Veritas outed this guy they secretly recorded him making some statements right so in the tapes Chester casually explained

how his network preys on fear to squeeze out higher ratings. CNN's president, Jeff Zucker, regularly called in on a special red phone call, for example, telling his news team to play up the COVID death toll wherever the regular news, whenever the regular news is too dull. Chester callously explained that the virus that has taken more than 3 million lives drives, gangbuster ratings. He even admitted that he himself had been guilty of looking at

the daily death count and saying let's make it higher. And when the pandemic becomes all news he added, CNN will turn to exploiting climate change for fear-driven ratings. Objectivity is out the window. Chester explains

to his date, which was the person who pretty much was recording him. that there is no such thing as unbiased news. Indeed, he bragged the only people CNN allows on the air are those with a proven track record of taking the bait that reporters feed them of exactly what opinions to express. But the part right here, right,

when the pandemic becomes old news, he added, CNN will turn to exploit a climate change for fear-driven ratings. People still watch, CNN and believe them even after all this people still right they still watch

NBC they still watch ABC they still watch all these left wing news news outlets and they believe everything these people put out it's really amazing the whole thing is insane really

but here we are they're controlling the narrative right now. They control most of the news cycle, right? They're going to pivot now to this climate change thing because, of course, you know, Trump's gone

and of course they can't really talk about Biden, right? Because, you know, so this is the guy and the party that they support that's in power, so they will not really report or investigate anything, you know, pertaining

you know, to the Democrats at this point. So what they're going to do is pivot. They're going to pivot to all the things that probably can make more Americans hate conservatives, right? They're going to paint conservatives as the bad people. So they're going to run all the news and, you know, they're going to use all the angles, right? They're going to pursue, right, all these red herrings. right, to make the conservatives look like the bad guys. Meanwhile, the real crimes that are being committed by the Democrats, right?

We'll never get looked at. We'll never see the light of day, right? This is a national security thing. This is a really big issue. It's a monumental thing that's happening right now. Think about it, folks. We have a group of seriously corrupt, powerful, people who have really brainwashed almost a half of the population.

And they're running the show. They have their foot soldiers out there that are torching and beating people up and doing all these really bad things, right? But yet still, you know, the conservatives and the Christians and, you know, those people, you know, they say that we are the enemy. We are the bad people. It's crazy, crazy, crazy. But I was having an interesting conversation with a friend of mine.

And it really did spark. It sparked this conversation we're having tonight. Right? You know, it sparked this conversation. You know, should we really be prepping for a return to the 19th century of some sort? Unless something massive occurs that sends us back to the Stone Age, right? We will never really, really be, you know, we have all this technology and everything else. Where these guys want us to go with this grit reset,

the trajectory is back to a more 19th century type of lifestyle with some technology. right? That's kind of where they want us to go. It made me wonder too if probably we've now hit the peak of of American Western, you know, prosperity. If this is it, if my generation, you know, will we be the ones that will be telling our grandkids, right, about the good old days when anyone could go out and buy a car, when, you know, you could go out and get an air conditioner for your home so that you're not like sweltering in the heat, where you could just go into the supermarket and buy products from all over the world, where you could pick up a phone and just order food sent to your house, you know, all these conveniences, right? But the thing that we all

have to realize here is that fuel drives everything, right? Is any of this, our lifestyle that we're living right, is any of it possible without the fuel to drive it? The coal and the oil that powers all these plants, powers all the ships, the trains, the airplanes, the airplanes, that keep us warm in the wintertime. I looked up, you know, what is the Green New Deal, right? And I went to the cradle of liberalism. I went to the fount, right? The protector of the Democrats, right?

I went to NBC News. And I found this article. and the name of the article is what is the Green New Deal and how would it work? Okay. And this is an article by Benji Sarlane. And so I wanted to see what they said were the highlights of the... They have it here, the highlights of the plan.

What is... What are the big... you know, highlights, right? Of the Green New Deal. Okay. So here are some of the highlights of the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal is not a specific policy proposal,

but rather a general set of goals. It seeks to get the world to net zero emissions by 2050 and ideally even sooner in the United States. net zero emissions by 2050. I don't think that these people actually understand what that means. It means shuttering pretty much every coal plant, shuddering, you know, anything that uses oil, shutting everything down. It means we're all going to be poor.

That's what this means. The lifestyle that we're all used to at this point, you can go into a store, you can pick, out any, you know, you can pick out the clothes that you want, right? You can go into the supermarket, you can buy the foods you want. None of that would be possible with net zero emissions. I don't think that they fully completely understand what it is that they're really like talking about, pushing here. All right, some of the highlights of the plan. Let's get back to NBJB DC News, the cradle of the Democratic Party. Let's see.

It goes beyond the environment and climate change to call for universal health care and affordable housing among other goals. That sounds kind of scary to me. It shouldn't, but it sounds scary to me. Because if you're poor and you're completely dependent upon the government for your medical issues, right, and your housing issues, and you're poor.

Okay? It sounds very, you know, it sounds like dystopia to me. The socialist dystopia here, right? Not all Democratic presidential candidates bat the Green New Deal, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? How it would work, some of the plans. Let's see. The Democratic debate over environmental issues

had centered heavily around the Green New Deal, a plan to rapidly switch to clean energy to head off the worst projected effects of climate change. However, unlike other ideas that Democrats are discussing on the campaign trail, right? This was during the election, right? The Green New Deal is not a clear policy proposal in and of itself, right? And you remember

Alexander Ocaccio-Cortez, right? She had brought, sponsored the bill, right? She had brought it to the floor, right? But it goes on and I, because I just want to touch on a few other things that it says. The resolution calls for a national, social, industrial, and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since. World War II and the New Deal won that over 10 years would move to renewable energy for electricity and make transportation, housing, agriculture, manufacturing more energy efficient. The goal is to create millions of new jobs in clean energy and get to net zero emissions by 2015, not only in the United States but around the world.

Millions of new jobs in clean energy. Ah, it's not going to happen. You would never put up enough windmills. or solar panels, pull that off. Right? We all know how windmills and solar panels work, especially if you live in a cold climate. Okay?

Do you want to put all your hopes and plans in solar panels during the wind of time or windmills during the wind of time? That's why I said, the topic here is, should we then be preparing our prepping for a return to the 19th century. Because it's a little crazy when you really think about it, right?

So we'll have the husks, right, of all these plants and all this, you know, this technology that we used to use to keep ourselves, to feed ourselves, to keep ourselves warm during the winter to power economy. All that would just be dead. And in this place, we have this really, you couldn't, you know, we have this system, right? You replace it now with a system that is completely unreliable. And we know that you can't have successful,

productive businesses, right? In an in an unreliable infrastructure, it doesn't work. If you can't really power it, if you're going to have brownouts, if things are going to shut down, if during the wintertime, your windmills freeze up

and different things happen, or your solar panels just cannot give enough power. And you have probably blackouts for a couple of days or two. Right? You can't, you, you, there's no way that you can, you can have a viable,

industrial economy. It just, it just doesn't work. And this is worldwide, folks. This is just not an American thing, okay? This is a global thing they want to push here because you remember, they're saving the planet. Not that the China, don't care.

So we can get rid of our nukes. We can free up our borders. We can just kind of like, you know, we can we can get rid of our robust economy. And I guess we'll be all right. I mean, it's like the Russians are going to leave us alone and the Chinese are going to leave us alone. the Iranians and the North Koreans are all just going to leave us alone and let the world do all this. It doesn't make any sense. You know, people always, a lot of people, right?

They make plans for the life they want, not for the life they have. And that's never, you know, it never really leads to success really. I think you have to deal with the life you have. And yes, you can make plans for the future, but you have to deal with the problems, with the life, right, with the things that are happening right now in the world. I don't understand. I don't understand these people.

I don't, I mean, so while we are going green, and, you know, we're just kind of traipsing around in the tulips, right? So the North Koreans are going to leave us alone. The Russians are not going to, you know, make a bid for world domination, and the Chinese are not going to make a bid for world domination. They're going to be on board with all of this. And when you really think about the Europeans right now and their, you know, they're growing dependence upon China.

None of it makes any sense. It's just a bunch of people running around getting rich pretty much. It's a, you know, the more you examine it, the more it just looks like a scam. And let me tell you, the only people that are going to get rich from this, the only people who are going to, you know, have a good standard of living, the one that would be able to afford that really expensive electric car, right? You know, you still got to make electricity the power of electric car in some way. I guess you can put up and you got, you know, you still have to mine and get chemicals

and minerals for your batteries and all that stuff. But, hey, right? you know, it's going to take a lot of, you know, power to make those solar panels, right? They just don't make themselves. You got to, you know, you got to manufacture all that stuff. I mean, if they just basically came out and said, listen, we're trying to save the world and we all just,

everyone, you know, once we take care of the Chinese and the Russians and we put everybody, you know, and we rain. everybody in, right, because we're really serious about the climate change here, then, then, you know, we're all just going to be Spartan, we all just going to bite the bullet. Then I would believe them. Right? Then I would definitely, I would, I would actually believe that. But this, what they're doing, right? This is just a scam. You know, there was an article in the Hill, right? And they were talking but The Great Reset, right? And this one was written by Justin Haskins,

and it was published in Thehill.com. And, you know, it's title, Introducing the Great Reset, World Leaders' Radical Plan to transform the economy. And let's see. It says here, for decades, progressives have attempted to use climate change to justify liberal policy changes,

but their latest attempt, a new proposal called the Great Recession, Reset is the most ambitious and radical plan the world has seen in more than a generation. They say at a virtual meeting earlier in June, and this was published. Let me see if I can get a date here. This was published last year. At a virtual meeting earlier in June, so this was last year, hosted by the World Economic Forum, some of the planet's most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists announced a proposal to reset the global economy.

Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies such as wealth taxes, additional regulations, and massive green, new deal-like governmental programs. Every country from the United States to China must participate, and every country from oil and gas. From oil and gas to tech must be transformed, wrote Clause Swab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum in an article published on WEF's website. In short, we need a great reset of capitalism, you know, and blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So I'm just reading further down the article, right? Or put another way, we need a form of socialism. a word the World Economic Forum has deliberately avoided using while, all while calling for countless socialist and progressive plans. You see, they know that most people, a lot of people are very leery of socialism.

They know that, you know, this is what it really is. It's a socialistic plan of wealth redistribution. running the economy. So what they're deliberately doing or trying to do is they, you know, they, oh, the Green New Deal or the Great Reset, they have, you know, they'll call it anything else except a socialist plan. Here they said, reading a little bit of the article here. One of the main themes of the June meeting was that the coronavirus pandemic has created an important opportunity. Listen to this. Millions of people are dying.

losing their jobs, misery all across the globe, right? But this is what they said. One of the main themes of the June meeting was that the coronavirus pandemic has created an important opportunity for many of the world economic forums members to enact their radical transformation of capitalism, which they acknowledge would likely not have been made possible without the pandemic. We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis. Its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change, said Prince Charles at the meeting.

Adding later, it is an opportunity we have never had before and may never have again. Wow. So we have powerful people, right? who are intent to use this crisis, the pandemic, right, to further their own political agendas. You know, this is completely beyond anything rational, I think, at this point. So what does this mean for us as preppers? Right?

I just laid out, okay, that, yes, it really does seem. And the trajectory, right, the trajectory is that we're moving towards, right, this agenda. You know, we're moving along here. You know, just recently here in New York, right, Governor Cuomo closed. I think it was Indian Point, the nuclear power plant, right? that and of course it you know I'm I'm glad they closed it but at the same time you know I was my my the question I had right was what are they replacing it with you know and of course you know all the articles that I could find were like oh well this is actually kind of a setback because now they're going to have to use they're going to try and use you know natural gas and they're going to be pulling the power from other sources and everything else and

they're going to try and replace all of this with windmills and solar and you know clean energy and blah blah blah but the fact is that they just switched off something that gave new york city a quarter of its it's it's it's power right and they really didn't have much of a plan to replace it with anything. I think that we're gradually seeing their agenda being played out all across this country. And I'm sure, you know, people in Europe, people in Australia, you know, people all over the globe are probably seeing this agenda being played out. You know, California now, right? They've got brownouts all the time. You know, Californians just have to get used to. you know, pretty much kind of a third world kind of existence, right?

Here in New York, right, I'm thinking that as they turn off the juice, we're going to have to get used to a third world kind of lifestyle here as well. And this is going to go all over. I mean, in Texas, what caused, when Texas had that, you know, that, that, that, that problem, right, when the cold snap came through and people were without power, right? It was because, you know, an oil rich state that should have, you know, power plants all over, right? Because they've got, they've got, you know, all the oil they could ever need in Texas, right? actually they were without power for pretty much what almost a week right because they had shut some of those plants down and replaced them with with clean energy with windmills and solar panels and such cold snap came through windmills froze the blades froze right caused a massive problem so very slowly they're phasing out they're phasing out they're phasing out

you know, the energy, they're replacing the energy, the present energy infrastructure with what they consider to be a better one, which is not as effective, which is not as reliable, which is going to affect, you know, our standard of living. Now all the politicians and all the people, you know, in the news media, they're all on board with this stuff. Because let's be honest, it's not really going to affect them. They're going to still have access to the nice cars and the nice clothes and the money and the good life. The people who support them will also be in on it, right? the cronyism, right, because, you know, well, I guess we're going to a third world kind of Banana Republic kind of thing, right? And that's what happens in Banana Republic. So all these contracts for this green energy, right? All this money that, you know, is going to get generated

for these projects, right? We'll go straight into the pockets of all their cronies. So this made me really take a look at the low. long-term effects of all of this. Okay? And, you know, that's why I had asked that question. Is this as good as it gets here? And now are we now going to see the slow decline in personal wealth in our standard of living? And if that's the case, if I'm going to have to plan for a world where, you know, maybe

there won't be as many things available in the supermarket anymore. If it is, it might be, it might cost a lot more to get it, right? If I'm going to have to, if I have to be thinking about, you know, am I going to be able to keep my refrigerator running, right? because of course if you have rolling blackouts, right, even scheduled blackouts, right? Well, you know, you have to make adjustments then. How much food can you store? Right.

What are you going to do about your meats and your perishables, right? Do you know how to cure meat and how to use? how to use a root seller to preserve food to keep things cool, right? Maybe now is a time to start relearning all the old skills. As a matter of fact, I made a list. I'm a list guy, you know. I made a list of some of the things that people used to do, right? or some of the things that, you know, if we were forced into some kind of a quasi-19th century kind of a lifestyle, right,

then some of these things might come in handy, for example, right? Here are some things and occupations, right, and some skills that might come in handy, right? How many of these things do you know how to do? A shepherd taking care of animals, right? You know, your goats, your cows, right? You know, that kind of thing, right? Engineer, you know, you can build things. You can make things, right?

Buildings, that kind of thing. Electrician. Because, yeah, if electricity becomes a problem, right, you're going to have to become very clever using them solar panels. Right? An egg and a poultry farmer, dealer. Okay. I remember when the pandemic just broke, you went into the store, you couldn't find any eggs because everybody had snapped them up.

Can you imagine a world where you cannot find eggs or if you know where to get them, they're kind of, they're expensive. Can you imagine that? blacksmithing, right? Being able to make things with metal, right? I know that James was into all that. You know, so here, like a dairy farmer, book dealer, right? Because how, you know, will we be able to get on the internet the way we are now? And, you know, well, I think that there's going to be more and more control of the internet anyway.

So being able to access certain materials might not be possible. Do you have a good library right now? A print library, right? A hardcover library. Maybe you need to start looking into that, right? Glass making. So the windows of your house break. Storms.

Can you replace them? How do you replace them? Especially in a time when that, might not necessarily be available, right? Candle maker, do you know to make candles? Right. A dentist, right?

I cannot imagine in the 19th century, right? You know, and you have a toothache. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it must have been terrible. Being a doctor, a nurse, right? A refiner of precious metals. Gunsmith. Right.

Yeah, you're going to have, probably, there's going to be a lot of hunting going on if we still have access to our firearms, if they don't come in and confiscate everything away, right? Being a tailor or a seamstress, a dowser, meaning you know how to find water on your property, right? I don't know other people's property. A druggist, a chemist, an apothecary, a baker, soap maker, you know what I make soap? My wife knows how to make soap.

making ropes, right? A vet, you know, like taking care of animals, understanding animals, like when they're sick, how to help them. A carpenter. Right? Weaver. You know, you can make cloth. Well sinker, a brewer.

Right. How many people here know how to, you know, listening right now, know how to, you know, brew alcohol, right? could be a great bartering item. You know how to fish, a midwife, you know how to farm. Right? I mean, right now I'm probably talking to a lot of people who have gardens, right? You know, if you're a new prepper, right, you're going to have to sharpen up those farming skills, right?

Those gardening skills, you know, how to plant seeds and, you know, how to tend your garden and how to tend your garden and how to, you know, you know, how to figure out the pH balance of your soil and all that stuff. Whole science. Whole science behind it. All these 19th century skills, we might need people who have them. We're going to have to probably acquire and know how to do a lot of this stuff, especially if you have children, right? You might be the person that will actually make it so that, you know, in a world,

if this ever comes to pass where they're living in a world where, you know, things are a lot more difficult, you know, where they have to be growing their own food, you know, everyone is kind of running their own homesteads, then you might be, be the one who will have to teach a lot of these skills to the young so that at least they're able to function. I think that we probably should with some urgency, right, be learning these things are as much as the stuff ourselves so that we can pass that knowledge down, right, to the next generation because I think, I think they might need it. So a lot of things to think about there.

But, you know, just looking at the rhetoric, just looking at the way how things are going, right? And just trying to follow this out in a logical way. And if they're talking about, you know, 2050, there's going to be a lot of people listening to this podcast right now who are still going to be around in 2050. What will that world look like? It won't be the one we're living in now, that's for sure. And if it's possible, I would rather be on my own homestead versus being looked after in a city because that's where a lot of people are going to be. going to go. They're going to go for the health care. They're going to go for the jobs. They're going to go for the food because everything is going to be centralized, most likely, right? In this system.

And that gives me the creeps. I don't want any part of that. I don't want to have to take my family into the city, right, you know, into some city, right? To live in some apartment because I cannot manufacture my own food or or any of that, right? If I had the other option of living out in the country and taking my chance, and I think that, yeah, I would rather take my chance than, you know, that dystopia, that city dystopia that I think this is all kind of, you know, a steady march, right, towards that kind of existence, human existence.

So I'll just, I want to end by, I looked at, I found this article, right, that I'm going to read to you, and, you know, it's on the things.com, right? And it says 15 ways the 1800s were straight up horrifying, right? The 1800s, 19th century, right? Okay.

And one thing that, that, you know, when you read the article, there's a lot of real, like, things that make you go, oh, my gosh, right? But I just want to read about what city life is like, because there's a lot of people listening to this podcast, right? And there's a lot of people. That's the thing. A lot of the city people actually support a lot of these policies, right? Because, you know, well, it's the blue states, right? it's the coast, right?

The city's on the coast, right? They're the ones that are driving a lot of these progressive ideals, right? But in the article, he says, if you lived in a city, life sucked, right? And it said, the average city dweller was a whole bunch of complaints when it comes to urban living. It's hot in the summer and smelly too, and everything is super crowded. lucky folks in the 21st century, however, forgot how bad it used to be living in the city for most people. It's pretty much any and all of our problems multiplied by a million, which one starts to see. It's sort of a trend when it comes to comparing that nightmare century to ours.

Life in the tenements, for instance, where people would go when they first got to this country and where 2.3 million people or two-thirds of all New Yorkers lived by the end of the century was absolutely squalid. They were cramped like multiple families to a single room apartment. Cramped had no indoor plumbing or heat and were poorly lit, if at all. Plus, there was often no ventilation, which meant that when one person got sick, everybody got sick. everybody got sick. Now, the article also go on and say, well, if you lived in the country, well, life suck too.

But for all the progressives there, you know, that live in the city, understand that things are going to get crowded, even more crowded, right? Because when you take away things from people, right, they're going to go where they believe, maybe the jobs are and they're going to come to the cities. And things are going to get pretty squalid. and, you know, pretty tight in the cities.

With the Green New Deal. With no AC and, you know, windmills and such. Good luck. Good luck with that. Right. So I hope you got something from this podcast, right? You know, it's all about planning, right? You know, as I said in other podcasts, right, we try to read the tea leaves.

here, right? We look at a lot of these big social events, these trends, these social issues. And we try to follow them out to the logical conclusion, right, where they all appear to be going. And, you know, we all know that the powers that be are all on board with they're going to start pushing, really pushing, most likely this climate change thing now since a lot of the other distractions are gone, right? so they've got to scare the public in some other way, right? So be prepared for a deluge of really bad news when it comes on to the climate. Even for the most rational individual, I'm sure a lot of this stuff, because if it comes at you 24, 7 days a week, nonstop, right?

It's probably going to make people very, very, very nervous, very scared, very frightened, right? and, you know, and of course when people are frightened, right, then they'll give up certain things. They're more pliable and they're going to use it. So over the next couple of years, if this keeps going, right, then I would expect a drop in our standard of living. Okay. I would expect food prices to go up. I would expect shortages. I'm expecting blackouts.

I'm expecting an amplification in all natural disasters. Wildfires are going to get worse. Winter storms are going to get worse. Because when you don't have the resources to respond to the challenges that these disasters, these emergencies create, then, yeah, things, things are worse or will be worse, right? So plan for it. Buy your food now.

Learn to grow your food. Make sure you have a generator, especially if you have lots of meat. You know, prepare to store a lot of stuff, so make sure that you have a means to power your home. Make sure that you stock up on your coffee and all, you know, and, you know, even your bleach, you know, chlorine, right? You need that, you know, that has lots of uses around the house.

Purification and a lot of different uses, right? Make sure that you understand how to grow your food. Make sure that you make sure that you're flexible enough that if you need to start, like, raising your own meat, you can. make sure that you have a good water supply system set up. Make sure that you have a good library, you know, from the medical stuff to growing stuff to fixing stuff. Make sure that, you know, your survival skills are sharp and teach. Teach these things, you know, teach these things, you know, to the next generation because, you know, know, yeah, well, you know, we'll probably see the beginning of it. They're, they're going to have to most

likely live it. All right. Grim, interesting stuff, right? Yeah. Okay. All right. So this is where I'm going to, I'm going to leave it here today, right? And hopefully you got something from this podcast, right? Remember to go over to PBN and check out the website over there. Remember, you know, yeah, you know, You know, remember to check out disaster coffee.com as well, right? You know, good coffee, good price. The bunker beans, right? You can buy your coffee in bulk. Maybe something you probably want to look into now, right?

You know, just something, you know, everything here, you know, we try to give you some facts, right? And you take those facts and you make your plans. All right? So I'm going to leave you here tonight. Hopefully, you know, if you got some from this podcast, pass it around, right? Listen to PBN, right? You know, there's a lot of really good stuff, you know, with our live shows and all the stuff in the archives and the different articles on the website itself on prepper broadcasting.com. And keep prepping for it.
