Thank you for watching! Well, welcome to another episode of The Strange Truth. I'm your host, Carl B., and hopefully everybody's been having a good week. You know, I've had an interesting couple of days. I got into an accident. You know, we were at a merge. The person in front of me was going to merge with traffic. They pulled out and then they hesitated. I wasn't paying as close attention to them hesitating as I should. Let's put it that way. bumper. It really did suck, if I must say so, right? It went a heck of a way to spoil a Saturday morning, you know, so yeah, of course, because I hit the person from behind, right, you know, the liability was mine, and end up paying for their car, repairs to their car, repairs to my car, and end up getting a ticket to boot. You know, one of the things about the whole ticket thing, right, is, you know, I mean, if there's no destruction to any public property,

and if I am covering all the costs of, you know, what you call it, of all the repairs to both the person's car and mine. And if the cops really didn't have, you know, if there was nothing to clean up, like they didn't have to come and pull vehicles out of the road or to do this or that or whatever. You know, there was no ambulances. The only thing is that we needed a cop to fill out the paperwork right uh why why do i have to get a ticket you know it was one of those things you know um and then you realize that that you know 200 that they're going to charge me right is to pay all the bureaucracy that's there, that's built up. And then all the paperwork that ensued because of that. I've been buried in, you chase this,

you got to report the accident to Albany. And so I had to do the paperwork for that, you know, and it's just on and on. And then you got to respond to the ticket. You know, at first I'm like, I'm going to fight this. And then, you know, after looking, researching it right for a couple of hours, you realize that it's going to cost, it's not really worth the cost of the ticket. You're going to end up paying more to the it's not really worth the cost of the ticket. You're going to end up paying more to the lawyers than actually pay for the ticket. And folks were saying, well, the only time you really fight a ticket

is when you're in danger of losing your license. That's when you get the lawyer to help you out. I've never gotten a ticket before. And it's been 14 years since I've had any kind of accidents. So, you know, but yes, so had to deal with that. No one was hurt. Thank God, you know, I had my son in the car with me. I, you know, I had taken him to a basketball, me. I, you know, I had taken him to a basketball, you know, you know, a basketball practice. And we were on our way to a dentist appointment early Saturday morning, when all of this happened. So, you know, everyone was okay, my son and myself, we were fine. And the person in the other car,

they were fine. But it just goes to show you i mean it happened so suddenly you know and you know it's like i've been getting all these little red flags lately you know like uh and it just goes you know it makes me realize just how tenuous life really is and you got to make sure that you you take care, you know, you tie up all loose ends because you never know when something serious is coming down the pipe. Sometimes, you know, sometimes you just won't see it coming. Never see that coming. Right. And I'm a careful driver and everything else. Yeah. It just goes to show you there are blind spots. Right. show you their blind spots right their their spots you know blind spots in in the story of your life that you're just never gonna see you know you're just gonna have to experience them

and deal with them the best way that you can right anyway you know enough about me i haven't even listening to pbn this week right great great shows on right um uh please make sure that uh you you know you pass us around uh you know um we offer a service that no one else really does uh here on pbn uh and it's all about you know saving lives and getting people prepared getting people more resilient. And unfortunately, that's not the way the rest of the world is wired. You know, when you look at how the mainstream folks, how they go about their lives, it's the whole collectivism kind of thing, right? You know, where, you know, the idealism where, you know, we're all supposed

to just kind of get along with no issues. And we need to trust in the state, in the government, in our elected officials to run things for us. And that we can kind of talk it out with our adversaries, you know, our enemies, you know, overseas. And it's this world, this fairytale idealistic world, right? And we know that the real world does not work that way. That, you know, Mr. A will always sometimes want what Mr. B has. And sometimes Mr. A will resort to, you know, nefarious means to get what Mr. B has. Right. That's just the nature of it's just human nature with all of these systems, whether it be socialism or communism or whatever ism, liberalism, whatever are the isms, they always forget human nature. And they hate when people remind them of human nature. When you say, okay, there are people who don't have the best interests of their neighbor at heart.

There are some people who don't, you know, and it's just human nature. That some people are evil and some people are narcissistic and some people are just bad people. And they don't want to hear that. You know, they want to, you know and and they come after you when you remind them of of these little things quirks of human nature anyway before i get into it we're going to talk about um you know uh one danger that's under the radar and we're going to talk about microplastics uh today we're going to i'm going to read an article we're going to discuss the dangers of microplastics and why it's really

important for you to have clean water and and and clean food uh and uh we're going to take a look at you know the supply chain what's going on in the red sea and how that affects the supply chain and uh if i can squeeze it into the 40 minutes uh you know we can we can also take a look at the ev situation uh you know the going green and uh the implications that's having but um you know let's see how much we can push it here in 40 minutes uh i'm gonna uh play some ads from our sponsors. Please make sure that you support our sponsors because they keep everything running here on PBN. So here's some ads, and then we're going to come back with some interesting discussion.

I pulled this one because it really has some really good facts and some good discussion points. And it's one of the things where here, you know, in the prepping world, it's never really mentioned. We never really talk about this hidden danger and how it might affect, how it will affect us, not only now, but in the future. how it will affect us, not only now, but in the future.

So I just wanted to bring it up because, you know, we've talked about everything on The Strange Truth. That's why they call us The Strange Truth, right? We've talked about chemtrails and weather modification and, you know, UFOs and, you know, everything that you can imagine we've covered here. We don't shy away from any topic. But one of the things that we've never really looked at is this huge problem of microplastics and what they're doing to our environment and what they're doing to us. And what are the implications for us in a few years. You know, while reading these articles, one of the things that really, really stood out to me was that you can really see, I think,

that the world as we know it is dying, right? It's like everything is coming to... The cup is almost full. Right. That's that that's the best metaphor I can use for this. This concept is that the cup is almost full. And, you know, when you look at just our human relationships across the globe, you know, all these like wars that we're almost going to fight or have to get ourselves involved in, we're just a mistake away from a major, major, major world war erupting, either in the Middle East starting there or could start in China,

in Taiwan straight there, or it could be on the European continent. We're not that far away from something major going off there. And then when you look at what we're doing to the environment between what happened with Fukushima and dumping all that radiation into the water that no one talks about. It's amazing. Gallons and gallons and gallons and gallons of radiation

being just pumped into the sea and everybody saying that that's okay. And then all these little disasters that's been happening. The earth itself seems to be crying out with the earthquakes and everything else that's been going on. And then we have this big problem of these microplastics. And of course, in prepping circles, this is never really discussed. And that's why I wanted to bring it up here, because it is something that we need to start paying attention to.

So let me just read the article and then we can discuss it. And it says, microplastics are in our bodies. Here's why we don't know the health risks there are big open scientific questions about levels of exposure and toxicity and this is from science news and it was published march 24th 2023 by ann pinto rodriguez tiny plastics tiny particles of plastic have been found everywhere from the deepest place on the planet, the Mariana Trench, to the top of Mount Everest. Have you guys ever really noticed how dirty Mount Everest is? Oh, my goodness.

And now more and more studies are finding that microplastics defined as plastic pieces less than five millimeters across are also in our bodies. What we're looking at is the biggest oil spill ever. Maria Westerbos, founder of the Plastic Soup Foundation, an Amsterdam-based non-profit advocacy organization that works to reduce plastic pollution around the world. organization that works to reduce plastic pollution around the world. Nearly all plastics are made from fossil fuel sources and microplastics are everywhere, she adds, even in our bodies. In recent years, microplastics have been documented in all parts of the human lung, in maternal and fetal placental tissues, in human breast milk, and in human blood.

Mycoplastics scientist Heather Leslie, formerly of Virgie Universiteit Amsterdam, and colleagues found mycoplastics in blood samples from 17 of 22 healthy adult volunteers in the Netherlands. The finding, published last year in Environmental International International confirms what many scientists have long suspected. These tiny bits can get absorbed into the human bloodstream. We went from expecting plastic particles to be absorbable and present in the human bloodstream to knowing that they are, Leslie says. And it says here, The findings aren't entirely surprising plastics are all around us durable versatile and cheap to manufacture their inner clothes cosmetics electronics tires packaging

and so many more items of daily use and the types of plastic materials on the market continues to increase they were around 3000 plastic materials when I started researching microplastics over a decade ago, Leslie says. Now there are over 9,600. That's a huge number, each with its own chemical makeup and potential toxicity. Though durable, plastics do degrade by weathering from water, wind, sunlight, or heat, as in ocean environments or in landfills or by friction, in the case of car tires, which increases plastic particles along roadways during motion and braking. In addition to studying microplastic particles, researchers are also trying to get a handle on nanoplastics,

particles which are less than one micrometer in length. The large plastic objects in the environment will break down into micro and nanoplastics, constantly rising particle numbers, says toxicologist Derek Vethoek of the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences in Utrecht University in the Netherlands, who collaborated with Leslie on the study of finding microplastics in human blood. Nearly two decades ago, marine biologists began drawing attention to the accumulation of microplastics in the ocean and their potential to interfere with organism and ecosystem health. interfere with organism and ecosystem health.

But only in recent years have scientists started focusing on microplastics in people's food and drinking water as well as in indoor air. Plastic particles are also intentionally added to cosmetics like lipstick, lip gloss, and eye makeup to improve their feel and finish, and to personal care products such as face scrubs, toothpaste, and eye makeup to improve their feel and finish and to personal care products such as face scrubs, toothpaste, and shower gels for the cleansing and exfoliating properties. When washed off, these microplastics enter the sewage system. They can end up in the sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants, which is used to fertilize agricultural lands, or even in treated water released into waterways. What, if any, damaged microplastics may do when they get into our

bodies is not clear, but a growing community of researchers investigating these questions thinks there is reason for concern. Inhale particles might irritate and damage the lungs akin to damage caused by other particulate matter. And although the composition of plastic particles varies, some contain chemicals that are known to interfere with the body's hormones. Currently, there are huge knowledge gaps in our understanding of how these particles are processed in the human body. How do microplastics get into our bodies? the human body. How do microplastics get into our bodies? Research points to two main entry routes into the human body. We swallow them and we breathe them in. Evidence is growing that our food and water is contaminated with microplastics. A study in Italy reported in 2020 found microplastics

in everyday fruit and vegetables. Wheat and lettuce plants have been observed taking up micro particles in the lab. Uptake from soil containing the particles is probably how they get into our produce in the first place. Suede sludge can contain microplastics not only from personal care products but also from washing machines. One study looking at sludge from a

wastewater treatment plant in Southworth, England found that if all the treated sludge produced there were used to fertilize soils, a volume of microplastic particles equivalent to what is found in more than 20,000 plastic credit cards could potentially be released into the environment each month. On top of that, fertilizers are coated with plastic for control release. Plastic mulch film is used as a protective layer for crops and water containing microplastics is used for irrigation, says Sophie Vonk, a researcher at the Plastic Soup Foundation. Agricultural fields in Europe and North America are estimated to receive far, far higher quantities of microplastics than global oceans, Vonk says. Let's see.

A recent pilot study commissioned by the Plastic Soup Foundation found microplastics in all blood samples collected from pigs and cows on Dutch farms, showing livestock are capable of absorbing some of the plastic particles from their feed, water, or air. Of the beef and pork samples collected from farms and supermarkets as part of the same study, 75% showed the presence of microplastics. Multiple studies document that microplastic particles are also found in fish muscle, not just the gut, and so are likely to be consumed when people eat seafood. There was this study that was done recently that they tested the fish. They tested the fish and I think they, what, six or seven fish that they tested, right? Six out of 10 contain microplastics, which alarmed me. That got my attention.

And the whole study that was released a couple of weeks ago that said pretty much every single bottle water, right, releases microplastics into the water. So when people believe that they're drinking, you know, healthy, you know, the bottled water is healthy. No, it's not. They're drinking microplastics. And it's going to be interesting to see how the water, the bottled water industry deals with that, you know, that news. I think that's going to get buried really quickly because these are really powerful corporations and people are going to still want their bottled water.

If you've got to drink bottled water, then I would suggest that, what, you go with, you know, something that's bottled in glass, really, or something that's bottled in a can versus, you know, something, you know, plastic, because they really thought that, you know, they had all these plastics that doesn't really leach into the water, but that's found not to be the case. And a lot of the water, I guess, from the water sources, you know, they're finding that maybe they have these nanoplastics in them. So be careful, folks. You know, there's a lot of things that we were led to believe that were safe, and we're finding out that that's not the case really and there is supposed to be a cause for concern but let me just go on and finish this up it says microplastics are in our drinking water whether it's from the from the tap or bottled the

particles may enter the water at the source during treatment and distribution, or in the case of bottled water, from its packaging. Results from studies attempting to quantify levels of human ingestion vary dramatically, but they suggest people might be consuming in the order of tens of thousands of microplastic particles per person per year. These estimates may change as more data come in and they will likely vary depending on people's diets, where they live. Plus, it is not yet clear how these particles are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the human body. And if not excreted immediately, how long they might stick around. Babies might face particularly high exposures. A small study of six

infants and 10 adults found that the infants had more microplastic particles in their feces than the adults did. Research suggests microplastics can enter the fetus via the placenta and babies could also ingest the particles via breast milk. The use of plastic feeding bottles and teething toys adds to children microplastics exposure. Let me read that again. Microplastics can enter the fetus via the placenta, and babies could also ingest the particles via breast milk. The use of plastic feeding bottles and teething toys, teething toys, rightething toys, right?

Adds to children microplastics exposure. Microplastic particles are also floating in the air. Research conducted in Paris to document microplastic levels in indoor air found concentrations ranging from 3 to 15 particles per cubic meter of air. Indoor concentrations were much lower. particles per cubic meter of air, indoor concentrations were much lower. Airborne particles may turn out to be more of a concern than those in food. One study reported in 2018 compared the amount of microplastics present within mussels harvested off Scotland coast with the amount of microplastics present in indoor air, exposure to microplastic fibers from the air during the meal was far higher than the risk of ingesting microplastics from the muscles themselves.

Medical Center Utrecht says, if I keep a piece of fish on the table for an hour, it has probably gathered more microplastics from the ambient air than it has from the ocean. Wow. What's more, a study of human lung tissue reported last year offers solid evidence that we are breathing in plastic particles. Microplastics showed up in 11 to 13 samples, including those from the upper, middle, and lower lobes, researchers in England reported. Perhaps good news, microplastics seem unable to penetrate the skin. The epidermis holds off quite a lot of stuff from the outside world, including nanoparticles, Leslie says.

Particles can go deep into your skin, but so far we haven't observed them passing the barrier unless the skin is damaged. What do we know about the potential health risk? Studies in mice suggest microplastics are not benign. Research in these test animals shows that lab exposure to microplastics can disrupt the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation, lower sperm quality, and testosterone levels, and negatively affect the learning and memory. But some of these studies used concentrations that may not be relevant to real-world scenarios. Studies on the health effects of exposure in humans are just getting underway so it could

be years before scientists understand the actual impact in people immunologist barbara melgert of the university of grogan in the netherlands studied the effects of nylon microfibers on human tissue growth to resemble lungs. Exposure to nylon fibers reduced both the number and size of airways that formed in these tissues by 67% and 50% respectively. We found that the cause was not the microfibers themselves, but rather the chemicals released from them, Melgert says. Microplastics could be considered a form of air pollution, she says. We know air pollution particles tend to induce stress in our lungs and will probably be the same for microplastics. Virskoop is studying how the human immune system responds to microplastics.

Her unpublished lab experiments suggest immune cells don't recognize microplastic particles unless they have blood proteins, viruses, bacteria, or other contaminants attached. But it is likely that such bits will attach to microplastic particles out in the environment and inside the body. If the microplastics are not clean, the immune cells engulf the particle and die faster because of it, Vrieskoop says. More immune cells then rush in. This marks the start of an immune response to the particle, which could potentially trigger a strong inflammatory reaction

or possibly aggravate existing inflammatory diseases of the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. While some of the chemicals added to make plastic suitable for particular uses are also known to cause problems for humans. Bisphenol A or BPA is used to harden plastic and is a known endocrine disruptor that has been linked to development effects in children and problems with reproductive systems and metabolisms. While phytolates used to make plastic soft and flexible are associated with adverse effects on fetal development

and reproductive problems in adults, along with insulin resistance and obesity. And flame retardants that make electronics less flammable are associated with endocrine reproductive and behavioral effects. products that i worked on in the past like the polybrominated diphenyl diphenyl ethyl ethers used as flame retardants have been phased out or are prohibited to use in new products now in the european union and the united states because of their neurotoxic or disrupting effects leslie says wow just gets worse the more you read this stuff right and it says here melgert wants to know how much microplastics is in our houses what the particle sizes are and how much we breathe in they are very few studies looking at indoor levels lots of microplastics he says we all have stuff in our houses. Carpets, insulation made of plastic materials, curtains, clothes that all give off fibers.

Something to think about here. You know, something to think about. All right. Let's see. It's really, you know, it says for people who want to follow Peter's lead, how to reduce exposure, ventilate, ventilate, ventilate, Melger says. She recommends not only using proper ventilation, including opening your windows at home, but also regular vacuum cleaning and air purification. That can remove dust, which often contains microplastic from surfaces in the air. Consumers can also choose to avoid cosmetics and personal care products containing microbeads.

Buying clothes made from natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and hemp, instead of from synthetic materials like acrylic and polyester, helps reduce the shedding of microplastics during wear and during the washing process. plastics during wear and during the washing process. Specialized microplastics removal devices including laundry balls, laundry bags, and filters that attach to washing machines are designed to reduce the number of microfibers making it into waterways. Vidhawk recommends not heating plastic containers in the microwave even if they claim to be food grade and not leaving plastic water bottles in the sun perhaps the biggest thing people can do is rely is to rely on plastics less reducing overall consumption will reduce plastic pollution and

so reduce microplastics sloughing into the air and water you know, this is like a call to action, right? At the end of the article here, right? Leslie recommends functional substitution. Before you purchase something, think if you really need it and if it needs to be plastic. And if it's that bad in Europe, I'm sure it's probably worse here in the United States, especially in the big cities, New York City, Baltimore, all the really seriously big cities. I'm sure that the situation there is way worse.

It's being found everywhere, folks, in our fish, in our cattle, in the chicken in everything every animal that you're eating now probably contains microplastics right um so uh what i would suggest is that we we need to start keeping a track of or you know keeping close eye on our food what we're storing it in how we're storing it i know that a lot of preppers we tend to you know we buy a lot of the the long-term storage foods right that are you know um stored in like plastic containers and different things and you know what uh i i am not going to say yay or nay to that right I do know

you know because you need long term food storage so that if there is a real emergency then it gives you a buffer between you and starvation

fine but there are other ways that we can cut back on the use of plastics. And what really alarms me is the plastic in the food and, of course, our bodies. You know, there's been this explosion of cancer, right? And like me, most of you are probably thinking, yeah, it's directly related to the shot. Right?

You see all these people that are dropping dead, right? All these really young people, all these stars that are dropping dead at like 40 and 50, and no one is talking about it. A lot of times they're like, yeah, an unknown illness or this or that, right? And no one really saying anything. Really, really fit athletes, right? Who, you know, in all the years that, you know, I've been like been watching professional football and soccer and different athletics for 40, 50 plus years. And I've never seen the situation as bad as it is now. You can't pick up a newspaper or go online to any of the major newspapers without somebody young dropping dead. And that never used to happen. But, you know, hey, so I think that we're living in a toxic

environment. We're living in a toxic environment. It is a problem that no one is doing anything really about it. uh is either the environmental crazies or you know the people who are going around you know like climate change climate change or you know or all these crazies right that are really taking up the cause it is not really a mainstream thing right now and and i think as people in the survival community, right, we need to be aware of this. And yeah, all right. I want to keep this podcast to 40 minutes. So the other topics that I was going to discuss, right, I'll discuss them in another podcast. We'll just dedicate this one to, you know, the discussion of microplastics.

But know where your food is coming from. This is important. Know what you're growing in your garden and how you're growing it. Know who's around you in your town, okay? Know where, you know, for example, if you have a well, okay, who shares your water table, okay? You know, there you have a well, who shares your water table?

There could be that factory two or three miles away who is leaching stuff. You never know if they're leaching stuff into the waterways and into the water table. You have to be really careful. waterways and into the water table, you have to be really careful. Here in the southern tier, there's a place called Endicott. And I'm sure you, I don't know if you heard about what happened when IBM, you know, IBM used to be, they used to, that was their central hub there. You know, IBM used to be, it was a big part of the town of Endicott here in the southern tier, New York. And what people didn't know was that for years, IBM was dumping all these chemicals into the water, you know, into the environment. Because, of course, their industry, right?

Lots of really bad chemicals. And it got to the point where you couldn't trust the water. You couldn't really drink the water. And if you buy a house, and this was years ago. I think this all happened about 20- years ago, 30 something years ago. They've pretty much pulled out of Endicott now. But if you buy a house there, you know, you have to get like a radon testing thing because all the radon and all this other stuff. And you have to have your water tested regularly if you have a well.

We actually had looked at a house in Endicott when we found out about the history of IBM and the pollution and what it did to the water table in that town. We said no, and we went to live somewhere else. That's how bad it was. So, you know, we live in a really toxic environment uh apart from uh you know well here we're talking about microplastics but there's so many other things going on in our environment that's bad for us and i think that we need to make sure we keep we are keeping our families healthy, we're keeping ourselves healthy. Healthy mind means you are, you're more, you know, you live a

more, just a better quality of life. You know, you're not getting sick, you know, you're not getting cancer, you're not getting any of those really serious diseases. And when you're healthy, of course, you know, it means that you are, you know, you can, you're of more help to the folks around you. If you're sick, you're, you know, you're, there's not much that you can do, right? It hinders a lot of what you can do. So, you know, sticking with our motto here about, you know, being self-reliant, about, you know, solving problems, about like, you know, positioning yourself so you can deal with future problems. Let's start looking at this problem and let's start minimizing,

try to minimize the impact of this on ourselves and our families. Because if you're not going to the doctor, then that's one less thing. If you're not sick, that's one less thing. If you're eating healthy food and you're giving your children healthy food that don't have these microplastics in it, or if you're minimizing the effects then you know and then that that's that's more power to you i as i said i know that we use a lot of plastics and rubber and different things that break down in our environment as preppers

and we have to be really conscious of that uh you don't want to be poisoning yourself right um so that being said, right. Hopefully this is something that I will definitely do another show on and dig up, dig around a bit. It's not something that gets mentioned in the prepping community at all. Right. We talk about economic collapses and we talk about, you know, we talk about, you know, security and and and homesteading and different things. But yeah, people in a survival community, we are the biggest environmentalists, right? Because we're in the environment all the time, whether it be hunting or fishing or gardening, you know, or animal husbandry, right?

We are the people of the earth. We're the people of the earth. We're most connected to it. Most peppers are more connected to their food supplies and what's going on in their environment than, you know, Joe Schmo from the city, you know, or Joe Schmo from the city Or Joe Schmo from the college university Because we are living We are living that healthy lifestyle Alright

So This is where I'm going to end it If you found this valuable Please pass this around Let people know What we offer here On PBN. Next week, I have a lot more interesting things to talk about.

There's a never-ending stream. I never run out of topics. I never run out of things because there's always something that just pops up and it's like, yeah, I got to share this with folks because it's all about getting you to think. Here, I gotta, gotta share this with folks. Uh, because I, you know, it's all about getting you to think right here. We don't tell you what, we don't tell you what to think. We, we just give you information and then we let you take that information and run with it. Right. Um, and, and you can decide how you want, how, how does this information, uh, you know,
