It seems surreal to watch it happen in real time, but the West is now foolishly galloping  toward a horrific military confrontation with the Russian Federation. In eight months of 2022, the world has moved so quickly toward nuclear war that European and American leaders no longer pretend it isn’t their endgame. Before the shooting starts, European nations will be gripped with electricity blackouts that could lead to social unrest and riots this winter. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

This is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. It seems surreal to watch it happen in real time, but the West is now foolishly galloping toward a horrific military confrontation with the Russian Federation. In eight months of 2022, the world has moved so quickly toward nuclear war that European and American leaders no longer pretend it isn't their end game. Before the shooting starts, European nations will be gripped with electricity blackouts that could lead to social unrest and riots this winter. Doc Burkhardt and I have plenty to share with you on this Monday edition of True News. Doc, today's news lineup is pretty heavy. Yes. And I assure you, you will not hear

this. You will not see this anywhere in the United States of America today. Nobody's going to touch these stories and present it like we're going to show you. Yes. What is truly taking place on the planet as mankind is racing towards World War III, unless somebody intervenes and stops this madness. We'll start with the Daily Mail in London. British troops must be ready for war with Russia, Top Soldier says. Yes, so British troops must warn their families they could be deployed to fight against Russia, a top soldier has declared. Warrant Officer Paul Carney urged troops to warn their loved ones that the world faces new realities and that Britain is ready to counter any aggression.

The top brass wrote in his monthly column for Soldier Magazine, it is important we prepare our loved ones and families who often have the hardest role in our absence. My ask is that you have discussions about a potential deployment with them now. Find contact numbers for support networks and relevant people who can help, such as the unit welfare officer and padre. The world has changed and we must be prepared for new realities. Doc, Soldier Magazine is the official magazine of the British Army. Right.

So that article was published with the full support of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain. And what this warrant officer just told all soldiers in the U.K. is, we are going to war with Russia. You need to sit down with your spouse, your parents, your children, your brothers, your sisters, and tell them we're going to war and we've got to get ready now. Right. You served in the National Guard. If you read something like that from an officer, would you sober up and go, hey, guys,

they're telling us we're going to war. I had that message delivered to me. I was in the National Guard when the Iraq war was going on. And our unit was deployed. We weren't deployed to the theater there in the Middle East. We were deployed elsewhere to receive equipment, but we were still deployed. But, you know, it really strikes fear in your heart and in your family's heart to know that this is the reality, that this is the reality of serving in the military. There's that sense of duty and everything else that goes along with it, but you have that sense of knowing too, you might not come back. Yes. And so, and that's what that message is about, right? It's the soldiers to tell, to have that talk with their loved ones.

I'm going to war. I may not come back, but we're, they're not talking about going to war in the Congo. No, they're not. This, this is war with the Russian Federation. In Europe. In Europe. Yes. A nuclear armed Russia. The next story, Metro UK. Top soldier warns British troops must be ready for war with Russia. Now, this story is based on the same magazine, but we've got a quote in this story from another top UK soldier. And this is a general, no less. Meanwhile, the British Army's chief of general staff, Sir Patrick Sanders, has said commanders at each level of the service must step up. Now, listen to what he says here. We are mobilizing the Army to help prevent war in Europe

by being ready to fight and win alongside our NATO allies and partners, he said. Now, that's an interesting quote he's making there, Rick. He's saying we're going to prevent war in Europe... By fighting. By fighting. So where are they going to be fighting at, Rick? How do you prevent a war by fighting?

That's an oxymoron. You don't prevent war by fighting. You start war by fighting. Well, the way I'm interpreting that, too, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I'm interpreting that we're going to deploy NATO troops to Ukraine. Of course. That's exactly what it means. That's what it means.

Absolutely. Rather than fight them in France or Germany, we're going to be fighting the Russians in Ukraine. Of course, that's exactly what it means. That's what it means. Absolutely. Rather than fight them in France or Germany, we're going to be fighting the Russians in Ukraine. Yes. And I would take it even further and say in Russia. Yes, I agree with you. We will be going into Russia. NATO's going to invade Russia. That's where this is headed. And it's coming much too soon than I like. This is coming up on us really fast now. Next story is from Voice of America, British lawmaker. Nuclear accident could draw NATO allies into war. So, Doc, this is about the nuclear power plant in Ukraine that the Russian military is occupying,

but the Ukrainian military is shelling it. Yes. But when you read the news articles in the West, you would think that the Russians are shelling it and the Ukrainians are defending it. That's exactly right. And listen to how this script is being written here. Conservative British member of parliament Tobias Elwood, who chairs the House

of Commons Defense Select Committee, cautioned that any nuclear accident, any nuclear accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant could draw NATO into the war between Russia and Ukraine. He says, let's make it clear now, any deliberate damage causing potential radiation leak to a Ukrainian nuclear reactor would be a breach of nato's article 5 he said friday on twitter now let's keep that quote up for just a moment here now he said any nuclear accident he didn't necessarily say by who did he yes no and i noticed that also in that quote rick that if there was this attack, it would be a violation of NATO's Article 5. How would that be the case, Rick? Because they're going to make the argument that

the nuclear radiation spread across the European continent to five, ten nations. Therefore, it was a nuclear attack on NATO. But it's the Ukrainians that are attacking their own power plant. So now we understand why they're doing it. We now understand why they're doing it. To activate Article 5. Because they can't get it any other way, can they? No. And it's most likely it's NATO telling them, attack the power plant. We need a cover story. We need a reason to invade.

Because up to this point, Russia has not done anything to any other NATO country that would cause NATO's Article 5 to be implemented, right? They don't want it activated. They've been keeping all their activities and their motions, their movements, the military movements within Ukraine, within Crimea. Of course, Ukraine's not a member of NATO, and they have not violated any NATO airspace or anything else. But this attack, an attack on the nuclear plant by Ukraine.

So why aren't NATO leaders telling Zelensky, call your troops off and stop shelling that nuclear power plant? That is madness. That's insanity. Let the Russians have it. I mean, seriously,

why aren't Western leaders condemning Zelensky and the Ukrainian army? It's the other way around, Doc. They're telling him to do it. They want the reason to invade. The UN Secretary General was just there last Thursday and Friday. He could have said plenty about, hey, Ukraine, it's probably a bad idea to be shooting at a nuclear power plant. But I think the script is already in place, Rick. This could be the opportunity for NATO to have a reason to attack Russia now.

That's right. Well, the next story is Vestia, a Russian newspaper. The Federation Council, that's kind of like the official ruling deep state governmental body of Russia, announced NATO's preparations for the toughest confrontation with Russia. Doc, if America had a government body, an official organization, a commission, that included the President of the United States, the vice president of the United States, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the national security advisor. You go down through the basically like the National Security Council. Yes. More, but bigger, much bigger. And but they have the power to commit Russia to war. What they said today is NATO is, this is an official statement from the Federation Council,

NATO is preparing for a major war with Russia. I don't know, it's hard for us in America to understand the gravity of that statement. I mean, the closest thing we have is the Pentagon. Right. But this is a government agency that includes the Russian military and the Kremlin. Right. It is the official deep state of Russia. Sort of a check and balance between the two, isn't it? So it

prevents the Kremlin from entering into war and prevents the army from entering into war. Yes, you got it. But they have said today NATO is preparing to attack Russia. Well, let's look at the reasons for that. Now, they're saying that NATO is a real threat to Russia and the number of military bases along the perimeter of the Russian Federation testifies to this. Now, back on August 22nd, the senator of the Federation Council, Olga Kovetidi, expressed this opinion to Izvestia. She urged not to believe the statements of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that the North Atlantic Alliance has never been a threat to Russia. That's today, Doc. Yes. This statement's made today. Yes. Now, she says Scholz is lying. It's quite obvious. And a number of measures that were voiced by Russia confirmed

this. Now, she lays out the reasons, both the suspension of the activities of the NATO military liaison mission in Moscow and the withdrawal of accreditation of its employees. Now, a number of events that testified that NATO was not just going to freeze military contacts and NATO was preparing for a fierce confrontation with Russia, Kovatidis said. Now, NATO had a mission that served in Moscow. This was an opportunity for NATO to have at least some communication with Moscow, some communication with the Kremlin and the Federation Council. It keeps the channels of communication open. But NATO has withdrawn that mission.

All right. And so now there's none of that checks and balances between NATO and Russia that's happening. NATO did this. Yes, and that is a sign that NATO is not interested in talking with the Kremlin. NATO is getting ready to go to war. So then I found this article in the Philippines News Agency, and it was published in June of this year. Yes, so the title here, NATO is prepared for confronting Russia and has been since 2014. This is according to Jen Stoltenberg. It says NATO has been preparing

to face off Russia since 2014. NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg said this is back in June. We actually prepared for this possibility for a long time, he said, at a news conference capping a second day of the NATO summit in Madrid. It's not as if NATO suddenly woke up on the 24th of February and realized that Russia was dangerous. The reality is we also have been preparing for this since 2014 because that's the reason why we have increased our presence in the eastern part of the alliance, why NATO allies have started to invest more in defense, Stoltenberg went on to say.

Okay, I would say it like this. What Jens Stoltenberg admitted in June is that a decision was made in 2014 to go to war with Russia in 2022. That's how I interpret it. They've been preparing for war. The decision was made in 2014. Now, if you reverse the news, go back to 2014,

and you look at a series of things, and you see Russia, you see Putin telling Russia, do not build those military bases close to our borders. Do not put intercontinental ballistic missiles on our border. Do not bring in nuclear weapons on our border. Going back to 2014. And so what happened in 2014? So obviously, NATO leadership made a decision to attack Russia. I think the date was set then. I think they set the date that in the early 2020s,

by 2022, they would have the war. And they had been preparing and building their military bases, bringing their troops in, while at the same time accusing Putin of being aggressive. Right. And what happened in 2014? You had the color revolution in Ukraine. Yes. Where the United States directly interfered over through the government of Ukraine.

And why did they do it? Because Putin stood up to NATO in Syria and went to war, provided military support to the Syrian army to wipe out the ISIS warriors that the West recruited and trained and armed to take down the Syrian government and it frustrated NATO and so they just changed the theater they left Syria and they went to Ukraine and they made the decision in 2014 we're going to take him down you're going to use Ukraine to do it yes he's going to defy us he showed us he will defy us so the decision was made it's going to defy us. He showed us he will defy us. So the decision was made. It's going to take eight years to get the military ready for a nuclear war with Russia.

Here we are now. Yes. But that decision was made eight years ago, Doc. Well, another article from Izvestia. This is from Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Mr. Lavrov had announced the formation of the EU and NATO coalition for war with Russia. Now, this was also back in June, just a few days after the announcement by Jen Stoltenberg. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on June 24th that European countries are uniting for a war with the Russian Federation. Now, listen to his reasoning here. He said, when the Second World War began, after all, Hitler gathered a significant part, if not a large part, of European countries under his banners for the war against the Soviet Union.

Now, in the same way, including the European Union together with NATO, they are gathering such an already modern coalition to fight in, by and large, war with the Russian Federation. And he said this at a press conference with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Zeynep Bayramov. This was back just a few days after the NATO announcement. So, Rick, it's interesting. He prepared, he just prepared the EU and NATO to Hitler. Yes. They've not backed down on comparing the West to Nazis. Yes. And in the Russians' eyes, the West is controlled by the modern Nazis that are

descendants of the Nazis that attacked Russia in World War II. And the Azov Battalion in Ukraine is Nazi. There's no debate about it. They say that they're Nazis. But it's like so many

things. If you quote them, you're the lunatic. You're the conspiracy theorist. If you show their flag, you're crazy for showing their flag. You'll get deplatformed. Right. For showing people the truth. Now, this next article is from Newsweek, and it says, Putin would nuke NATO to defend Russian speakers in the Baltics, according to a Putin ally.

This ally is a very popular Russian television news commentator. And a very good friend of Vladimir Putin, according to sources. Now, Newsweek is saying this. A Kremlin propagandist with close ties to Vladimir Putin has said that Russia should use nuclear weapons against the West to protect Russian speakers in the Baltic states. Vladimir Sololov was giving his reaction to restrictions being proposed in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia on Russian citizens and Russian speakers in response to Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. So when they're talking about Russian speakers. They're talking about citizens of those countries.

People who speak Russian. Yes. They're criminalizing. Speech. The speech using, if your native tongue is Russian and you live in those countries, they're shutting you down. They're deplatforming people. Saying, we're not going to allow it anymore.

And again, it is to stigmatize Russian people. It is to ostracize them. It is to say the West has decided we're going to have a final solution for the Russians. Isn't that racist? It's very racist. But it's what the Nazis did in World War II. They had a final solution.

And that was for the Jews this time. It's for the Russians. It's for the Russians. So Estonia's government has made it more difficult for Russian citizens to even enter the country. Latvia has declared Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, stopped issuing entry visas to Russian citizens, and is looking to restrict Russian language use in workplaces. Meanwhile, Lithuania, which in June was involved in a dispute with Moscow over the

transport of goods via its territory to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, has backed an EU-wide push to ban Russian tourists. But Soloyov warned of reprisals from Moscow over the measures being proposed in the former Soviet countries, which border Russia and our EU and NATO members. Calling the Baltic states Nazi, he said that you want to prohibit us, the Russian people, from being able to speak our own language, even though 40% of Latvians are Russian speakers. Okay, we're going to send in our troops to defend the Russian-speaking population,

he said during a segment on his show Full Contact on the Russian One channel on Tuesday. Will the NATO countries jump in, he said, asking whether European capitals were ready to burn from the strikes of our missiles and, if necessary, from our tactical nuclear weapons. In other words, he's saying this could ramp up really quickly. Doc, he said we're going to send our troops in. What he just said, I mean, if he has any inside knowledge of what the Kremlin is planning, he said, Russia is going to send troops into Latvia and Estonia to defend Russian-speaking citizens. Really, wasn't that one of the reasons they went into Crimea in the first place?

Yes. Because it was overwhelmingly. And Donetsk. So that to me sounds like they are about to seize territory in Estonia and Latvia that have large populations of Russian-speaking citizens and simply say, you want to have a vote and join Russia? And what he's saying is, when we, he didn't say if we do it, when we do it, are European capitals, European nations,

are you prepared to watch your cities burn? Because we're going to strike them. Okay, so who is instigating this stuff? They're taking these abrasive, racist actions against the Russians. The Russians are saying, these are fighting words and we don't make threats. We actually do it. You're insulting us. You're attacking our people. You want us to disappear from the earth. You're going to tell us that we can't speak our native language. We're going to go in and we're going to defend our people. And we dare you to do

something because we're going to burn your cities down. Now you like to flip the script. Let's flip the script. If it was American citizens in another country and they were being persecuted and they were being ostracized because simply because they were American citizens and they spoke English, let's say we, and we have gone into conflicts. We've gone to the Cuba and the Philippines in different places around the world just because of that very issue. That's right.

And so now that the shoe's on the other foot, are we prepared to go all in on this situation? Because we're instigating, NATO and the West, we're instigating this with Russia. We're using Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to stir up the bear. So, Doc, you've got the attack on the dignity of the Russian people in those countries. These are Russian-speaking people living in Latvia and Estonia. And then you have the shelling of the nuclear power plant.

Right. The third thing that just happened over the weekend was the hit, the assassination of the daughter of Alexander Dugan. Now, for our audience, there's probably a lot of people watching. They don't know Alexander Dugan from anybody. Who is this? I don't know a lot about the guy other than what I do know is that he appears to be,

I'm talking about from the Western material that I read, he seems to be a mysterious Russian mystic. Yes. Rasputin. Right. They describe him as the modern Rasputin. Whether he's that sinister, I don't know. He's a philosopher. He's a Russia first guy. Right. You know, a hardcore Russian nationalist. We fight for Russia. We defend Russia. This is we don't take any stuff from anybody. Russia first. He's Russia first. Right. OK. Now, the West for years, his Western news outlets have said for years that he's Putin's brain. When I read the Russian papers translated in English, they say that's not true.

They just say he's a popular philosopher, but he has no major direct influence on Vladimir Putin. I don't know who's telling the truth. I don't know. But there was an interesting story about him over the weekend. So there was a hit, an assassination. It was supposed to be for now. The story over the weekend was it was supposed to be for him. And they they a bomb was placed under his car. And at the last minute, he switched automobiles with his daughter and she was blown to pieces

just a few miles outside of Moscow and then he there was video of him the father at the site was horrible sight of a father looking at at body pieces of his daughter is literally what horrible scene. So Zelensky told the Ukrainian people, prepare for something nasty, something ugly to happen. There's going to be revenge. And the Ukrainian government is swearing. You know, we didn't do it. We did not do this. At the same time, they're telling the Ukrainian people, you better know where your bomb shelter is at.

Something really serious is going to happen. It's going to be reprisal. Payback is going to come. The Russians have not said yet how they're going to do it, what they're going to do, but you can be certain they're going to strike.

We invite you to follow us there. And for the rest of you, just stand by. We'll be there soon. okay welcome back to the next part so i was talking about this hit yes on alexander duken's daughter um an innocent person was murdered every assassination like this. An innocent person was murdered. She should not have died for her father's politics. She's a young woman. She died for her father's politics. Now, the Russian FSB released video, surveillance video of her, and they said she killer talk about the killer that the killer the

assassin was a member of the ukrainian azov battalion right meaning the nazis and that she had stalked her out for months for a good month at least and moved into an apartment next to her in the same building. And so they released surveillance video from the apartment building that you see her walking up to the foyer of the apartment complex. Interesting, Doc, in reading the Russian news accounts about this, is that she activated the bomb by remote control. But what I saw was that it wasn't a matter of mistaken automobile. I think she intended, if this woman did it, whoever did it, intended to kill Dugin's daughter. I think they want him to go into a rage. I really believe they intended to kill Dugin's daughter. That makes sense based on the story here. This is from BBC here. Dariya Dugina, Ukraine killed Putin allies daughter,

Russian says. Russia has accused Ukrainian special services of killing the daughter of one of Vladimir Putin's allies in a car bombing near Moscow over the weekend. Ukrainian officials have denied any involvement in the explosion, but Russia's federal security service, the FSB, said on Monday it solved the case and said that Ukraine was directly responsible. Now, the FSB told Russian media that a Ukrainian woman had moved to Russia in July alongside her young daughter, but that she was, in fact,

a Ukrainian special services contractor. Now, it said the woman, it said, rented an apartment in the same building as Miss Degina for a month preparing for the attack. In that time, she allegedly followed the journalist through Moscow in a Mini Cooper for which she used three different license plates. The suspect then escaped to Estonia after the explosion, the FSB said. An advisor to Ukraine's President Zelensky, Mikhail Podolyak, said the FSB's version of events was Russian propaganda from a fictional world. And so this was a message that

Ukrainian forces was sending. Well, Doc, if it was Russian propaganda from a fictional world, the end result is the same. Dugan's daughter was murdered. Right. Who else would want to murder somebody in high-level Russian society? Why? I mean, it's only Ukraine. Unless somebody wanted Ukraine

to be blamed for it. There could be that party too. Okay, so now that's, it's interesting watching CNN and some of the American news media floating conspiracy theories that Putin had her killed. For what reason? As a false flag so that he could bomb Ukraine. So the American news media today is promoting conspiracy theories about a false flag. They ought to be deplatformed.

But Putin can bomb Ukraine any day of the week. Yeah, he doesn't need a reason. He's already got a reason. Well, then who else would want a false flag? Well, I can think of a great big block of nations. NATO. NATO. Right.

And then you start to think about Operation Gladio. And that's a whole other show. We could spend all day talking about that. But somebody did it to infuriate Putin. First of all, to infuriate the father. I don't think he was the target. I think the daughter was the target. They knew exactly who they were killing. And it was to make the father furious, drive him to madness, that he would, if he has any access to Putin, he would be screaming for blood. Go all in.

Yes. Screaming for blood, for revenge. Killing begets killing. Yes. There's just more blood. These people, they're bloodthirsty. And eventually they're going to get so much blood that the world is going to drown in blood. You know the last big, you know, at the end, going to drown in blood you know the last big you know at the end there's

so much blood the bible says that there will be a lake of blood around jerusalem about it'll be about 200 miles wide and it will be the the height of a horse's bridle. So about, what do you say, about six foot deep? Yeah, about five, six feet deep, 200 miles wide. A blood. It's just hard to comprehend. A blood. A lake of blood. And it's around Jerusalem.

I don't know the, Doc, the evangelical Christian Zionists, I don't think they've ever figured this out, that if there's that much blood around Jerusalem, there's nothing left of Israel. How could there be? Are people out there swimming in the blood? Think about that. This doesn't quite fit in the end times plans does it no but they teach it and because the bible says it i mean that's real but then there's a disconnect from reality and they then they talk

about uh israel surviving uh you know armageddon and and you know the this millennial kingdom being set up. Well, wait a minute. There's 200 mile wide lake of blood, five feet deep. But you and I don't have to worry about that, Rick. We'll be gone. Remember? Yes, but this is... According to them. Yes.

But who is reigning in Israel with that blood? Would you want to live there? Of course not. How many years, how many centuries would it take to get rid of the bloodstains? The only way to get rid of it is going to be to burn the planet. Yes. That big war is coming. We're moving towards it very quickly, but World War III has already started. I don't know whether any of us are going to survive but to be honest with you my my only my only concern right now is how many how many souls can

i get into the lifeboat right now and see anything i'm thinking about how many unsaved people can i get to the cross and get them saved, get them baptized, get them prepared before this war erupts? And it's coming so fast. Today was a very troubling day watching this news. By the way, I appreciate your patience. Last Friday we had almost all of our production people sick, and guess what? They're still sick today.

But the grace of God, other members of our team came on board, got in the control room, and are talking with their counterparts who are at home sick to figure out how to run the equipment. And by the grace of God, we're doing this program. And yet our production team's not in the production room. Yes. And there's nobody on the floor.

There's nobody on the floor around us. Except us. It's us. But we're still recording a program by the grace of God. That's because this message has got to go out that people must be saved. They must come to the cross now. The day is coming when there will be no more work for the kingdom of God.

The next one, we'll switch to another war theater, the Pacific. This is the South China Morning Post today. The PLA adopts nuclear deterrence to stop foreign intervention on Taiwan. And we've got a quote from that particular article. It says, the People's Liberation Army has adopted nuclear deterrence to try to stop the United States and Japan from directly intervening in a possible clash over Taiwan, but would exercise caution to avoid full-blown conflict, according to analysts. So, Rick, my question for you, this is a significant change of posture, isn't it?

Doc, I mean, I hope our audience comprehends what you're reading and hearing right now. This actually was published yesterday, Sunday, in Hong Kong. The South China Morning Post said, China has now switched to the threat of nuclear war to stop the United States and Japan from defending Taiwan. This is what the Nancy Pelosi trip has done. You see how far we've gone in two weeks, Doug? That now China's position is, we will use our nukes. We're quite prepared to nuke America and Japan. And that is now their military position.

And they've said this so as much. Days before Beijing kicked off an unprecedented war games near Taiwan in the wake of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taipei tour earlier this month, video footage of two vehicles carrying the two-stage liquid-fuel Dongfeng 5B intercontinental ballistic missiles circulated on mainland social media platforms Weibo and WeChat. Now, the video showed other Dongfeng nuclear-capable missiles as well, including the RODE Mobile DF-27, DF-16, and DF-15B moving through city streets. All Dongfeng series missiles are capable of delivering nuclear warheads, while the DF-5B ICBM has a range of up to 15,000 kilometers, that's 9,000 miles, enabling it to hit North

America. Now, it is aimed at warning the U.S. and its close ally Japan not to intervene in the Taiwan issue, reminding them Beijing has the most powerful weapon that could give them a deadly strike, said Yue Gan, a retired PLA colonel. Yue compared it with Russia's nuclear threats after the invasion of Ukraine, which he said had been successful in deterring the U.S. and NATO from directly intervening in the war. Putin's experience inspired Beijing that it's a workable strategy to stop the U.S. and Japan's possible intervention in a future Taiwan contingency, he said. So this is where we're at now, that we have upped the game because of Ukraine. Now China is upping the game too. Rick, since Nancy Pelosi has been to Taiwan, we've sent three congressional delegations there. Yes. Since Nancy has been there. Yes. And a Japanese delegation. So, Doc, why is the Chinese military driving nuclear ICBMs up and down the streets of Chinese cities?

What's the purpose? To make it clear to the U.S. that we will use them. This is where you've put us to. And they said, look, Russia threatened to nuke NATO if they got involved in Ukraine. NATO didn't get into Ukraine other than supply the weapons and everything. But what we just read today, NATO is preparing for the intervention. Yes. So everybody keeps upping the ante.

This thing's becoming more dangerous by the day. So now Russia has put their weapons out on the table. NATO's put their weapons out on the table. China's bringing their weapons out. And now the UK is talking about deploying troops. Yes. And the only place they're going to deploy them to is Ukraine and Russia. So, and what does that mean?

That means things are going to happen in the Pacific as well with China. These things get out of control really quick, don't they? They do. Doc, I wish I were wrong and I wish the rapture was true. Because this would be a great time to be raptured away, wouldn't it? Yes. I wish the rapture was true. Because this would be a great time to be raptured away, wouldn't it? Yes. I wish the rapture was true. I wish all the people that taught the secret pre-trib rapture,

I hope they turn out to be correct. Because we need to get out of here now. Really. You rapture people, you ought to be shouting, Jesus, come on, get us out of here. They're about to blow up the world. And that's almost literal. Yeah. But there's no secret rapture happening, is there? Man, I would like to be wrong. But you're not. That's the tough part. I'd be shouting all the way up into the cloud, I was wrong.

Hallelujah, I was wrong. But I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong. There will be survivors of this war. Yes. But the world will be different, and global government will come together quickly after the war. You know, here at True News, Rick has a great eye of noticing trends in news cycles

or a series of articles or stories that all pop up all of a sudden. It's like there will be 20 or 30 articles along the same theme, not copied word for word, but along the same theme. Yes. As if all of a sudden said, all right, now we can talk about this. Right. And one of those things you caught on earlier over the weekend was we've been talking about the energy scenario that's happening in Europe. Mm-hmm.

So Oil Price, the website oilprice.com, listen to this story here. It says Gazprom will halt Nord Stream gas flows on August 31st. Well, they're down to 20%. Right. So now they're going to stop it completely. Now, they're saying this is just for a few days. But that's what they said about the two-week maintenance. Right. So let's read a quote from this article here. And it's going to set us up for the rest of the stories that follow.

It says, Gasprom will stop all gas flows to Europe via the Nord Stream pipeline from August 31st until September 2nd. Russia's gas giant, Gasprom, announced on Friday. Now, the reason for the three-day suspension of gas flows via the pipeline, they're saying, would be due to maintenance work at the Trent 60 gas compressor station, which we carried out with Siemens. Now, the maintenance was not planned and is expected to escalate tensions between Russia and the EU and squeeze Germany already in the midst of an energy crisis by restricting gas supplies even more. All right,

so that sets us up for these stories that we're about to see here. Now, this is a story coming out of Finland. Now, this is from RTBF. Finnish Prime Minister warns public to brace for 10 difficult winters. Now, Rick, this is an interesting article you found. 10 winters? It's a decade. Right. Now, we were talking about there was going to be problems this winter. Now, he's saying up to 10 winters, up until the early 2030s. Now, this is really an interesting article to take note of because they know something we don't right now. Prime Minister Alexander Ducroux predicted difficult economic times during a visit to Zeebrug on Monday due to soaring energy prices, while considering that the country was able to cope with them.

He said the next five to 10 winters will be difficult. The development of the situation is very difficult throughout Europe. Some sectors are facing serious difficulties with these high energy prices, he noted, during an intervention within the port handling company ICO Terminals, where he was following a half-day internship on Monday at the invitation of VOCA, a Flemish employer organization. Now, he said the boss of VOCA, Hans Martins, has not said anything else a few minutes earlier, saying he saw heavy clouds over the Flemish economy and black snow over many companies. We are monitoring the situation closely, but we must be clear. The next few months

will be difficult. The next winters, plural, will be difficult. We will have to get out of this, hoping for the best while preparing for the worst. And if the situation proves ultimately better than expected, it will still have been beneficial to have been prepared, the prime minister added. Rick, 10 difficult winners. Now, this is the first time I'm hearing this. It is. And it's the first time our audience is hearing it. You're hearing news that 99.9% of the world has not heard and most likely won't hear for quite some time.

So you've got to process this information. We're being told by the leader of Finland, he just advised his people we're going to have hard times for 10 years, particularly over energy. I mean, it're going to have hard times for 10 years, particularly over energy. I mean, it's going to be cold. There's going to be blackouts. There's going to be shortages. There's going to be energy rationing. That's what that means, Doc. Yes. There's going to be economic hardship because factories will close. Economic productivity will be down for 10 years. Best case scenario, he said five to 10 years. Best case scenario, five years.

Right. That's 2027. How many people right now today are aware that we're going, the world, the West is going into a five to ten year crisis. How many people know it? You can't tell it by the way they're living. You can't tell it by their shopping behavior. You can't tell it by their obsession with social media.

They have no idea. They're not preparing. No, they're not prepared at all. They're not preparing because they don't even know it's coming. And they don't know it's coming because they have no interest. They have no interest in knowing.

And so they're sleepwalking into this this dystopian nightmare that the world is going into. We're going to show you some more. Just hang in there. This isn't the only one. Whales Online. Number 10 Downing Street issues power shortages statement

after concerns over winter blackouts. You see the date? Today. Yes. August 22nd. Now, the government has sought to reassure people over concerns. Power supplies could be limited over the cold months. Downing Street insisted that there will be sufficient electricity and gas supplies over the winter.

A number 10 spokeswoman said households, businesses, and industry can be confident they will get the electricity and gas that they need over the winter. That's because we have one of the most reliable and diverse energy systems in the world. But there's still fear among the people, the population, Rick, that there could possibly be blackouts. That's because just a week ago they said there would be mandatory blackouts. And they're also hearing news from France where they're talking about controlled blackouts. This is from the Brussels Times. Controlled blackouts. France braces for winter electricity shortage.

France faces a high chance of electricity shortages and is not ruling out, not ruling out controlled blackouts this winter. That's according to Johan Levain, a researcher at the Electrical Energy Laboratory at Gantt University. According to Levain, the sky-high price hikes have been exacerbated by the fact that more than half of France's nuclear power stations, which normally provide over 70% of electricity,

are out of operation, partly for maintenance, partly to address potential compromises to out of operation, partly for maintenance, partly to address potential compromises to their safe operation, and partly because, now listen to this, water levels are too low on the rivers where they are situated to keep the reactors cool. And we've been talking about that story for the past week as well. Doc, you know, what happens when they can't keep the reactors cool? They have to shut them down.

But you just can't push stop the nuclear reactor. That takes a while for it to cool down. So, here's another thing I learned today. Germany. Germany is shutting down all their nuclear power plants

in December by government decree. And they said, we have no intention of changing our decree. In spite of the energy crisis. What's going on, Doc? There can only be two options, in my mind.

Either the German government officials got a special kind of stupid or it's by design. Right. Which one is it? They're really stupid or they're very devilish. Which one is it? They're shutting down all of the nuclear power plants in Germany at the end of December and saying, we're not changing our mind. We're not going to rescind this order. They said they might allow one Bavarian plant to continue for a limited time. But you would think with the energy crisis facing Germany, that the German government would be saying, hey, who cares what the environmental wackos want?

These power plants are going to continue operating because we may have 10 winters to go through. Right. So up in Finland, the Finnish prime minister, he's telling his people, hey, hard times for the next 10 years. In Germany, they're saying, we're going to make it hard for you. Right. And over in England, they're lying to the people. We'll make it. We'll get through. And in France, they're telling them straight up, hey, controlled blackouts are coming. I went on to say in that Brussels Times article, EDF is doing everything possible to get as many power plants back on by the winter.

But there is a lot of uncertainty for the time being, he said. There's a high chance that there will be a shortage of electricity. Because of that, economic shutdowns are as good as certain, said Levine. Companies will close down temporarily, temporarily, because electricity will become simply unaffordable. The government will have to resort to controlled blackouts. Regions will be put in the dark for an hour, for example, to save power. It won't be just an hour. I guarantee you that.

Okay, I'm going to say to our audience, your time is running out to replenish your supplies. We're going into a very difficult winter, and it's going to last for years. So stockpile, make the decisions that you need to make. Read what they're telling you. Factories will close down. Factories will close down. There's going to be severe economic disruption starting this fall. And we're almost at the end of August. Fall is coming soon. Doc, by the time we get into October, I don't even know what kind of headlines

we're going to be reading in October. This is moving so fast. We'll be reading about riots and unrest all over Europe by the time we get to October because people are going to start catching on real quick. We've got some riot news stories in here because you've hit it right. Switzerland. Switzerland.

Switzerland is preparing for riots. Let's look at number 40. So this is from Swiss Info. Swiss are preparing, once again, this is just within the past several days here. The Swiss are preparing for energy shortages and extreme scenarios. What does a Swiss riot look like? Well, it's going to be tough because Switzerland is armed.

I know, but the Swiss people, I just can't, I can't, I can't picture a Swiss riot. I mean, you couldn't get them riled up in World War II. I mean, what's going to get them riled up? A winter without heat. And it's cold in Switzerland.

Let me tell you, I've been in Switzerland in January. It's cold there. This is from Blick, one of the outlets in the area. It is conceivable. Now, this is what they're saying in Switzerland. It is conceivable that the population will rebel over energy supplies. I guess so. Now, the federal government is working flat out to overcome the impending power shortage.

In an interview with Blick, Chief Police Director Freddy Fosler warns against neglecting security issues. In other words, he's saying we need to be concerned about this. The federal government is preparing at full speed for the impending power shortage. Focus is on the energy supply, but when there are bans, quotas, or even network shutdowns, the security forces are also challenged. Internal security then becomes a problem, warned Jan Flueckiger, Secretary General of the Energy Directors Conference. The federal government has not yet recognized the urgency in this regard. In any case, the Cantons insisted on being better involved in the preparatory work, as Chief Police Director Freddie Foslow explains in an interview.

Now, he was asked several questions related to what he saw might happen over the next few months. One of the questions that he was asked, what do you fear in view of the impending power shortage? His reply was a grid shutdown or blackout. So he's considering this, Rick, would have far-reaching consequences. Just imagine, you can no longer withdraw money from ATMs, pay with your card in shops, or fill up at gas stations. And all the heaters don't work anymore. You have to be cold. It's dark in the streets. It is conceivable that the population will rebel or that there will be looting.

We have to prepare for such extreme scenarios, even if I don't expect it to really come to that. But he did speak it out, didn't he? Yes, but he's a police chief and he's very aware that something ominous is coming towards Europe and it's coming fast. He was also asked, would the security forces be operational at all if their electricity went out too? Now listen to this response. We have taken care of that. In 2014, we practiced the situation of a power shortage and a blackout in a large security association exercise, also involving the blue light organizations, the police organizations.

Major deficiencies were discovered in the process, such as the lack of emergency power generators for the police, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure. These shortcomings have been corrected in recent years so that the security forces are armed. But we are also prepared to make cash available to people if you can no longer pay by card in the store. Interesting that they say that, isn't it? Okay, well, if the store, how's the store open up if there's no electricity? How do gas pumps work if there's no electricity? Yes, if there's no electricity.

So you got free cash from the government. You can't do anything with it. I'll tell you something else, Doc. If it lasts too long, the police officers will leave the force. Right. To go take care of their wives and children. What do they do then? What do they do then when the police officers say, I can't deal with this. I have a wife at home and I have three little kids.

There's no heat. There's no food. I'm done. I got to go take care of my family. Right. That's where they're headed. And another question that was asked of Mr. Fowler, Chief Fowler, do you think more criminals will take advantage when the lights are out?

He says, well, I don't want to paint the devil on the wall, but it also has been seen in environmental disasters that certain people have abused the situation to plunder unprotected objects. This could also be the case if the network has switched off, for example, in shops where there is something to buy. It is all the more urgent to ensure that the police do not only react

when something has already happened. And another quote from this, what do you advise the population if they are suddenly left in the dark? He says, it sure helps to check and stock up on emergency supplies, for example, with food, candles, flashlights, batteries, and gas cookers.

But Chief Fosler, that's only going to take you so far, I'm telling you right now. It gets cold in Switzerland, very cold. And when the lights are out in Switzerland, it's very dark. It's extremely dark. I mean, it's beautiful to see the sky, but it is also very, very dark outside. Winters are dark. Hey, I want to jump over to number 53. This is from Bloomberg. And this is going to be our last news for today. UK inflation to rise beyond 18% this year in the gas crisis, says Citigroup. Right.

UK inflation is on track to rise above 18 percent for the first time in almost half a century next year as energy prices rocket, according to the investment bank Citigroup. Using forecasts for the retail energy price cap, which analysts expect to rise to close to 6,000 pounds in April from 1,900 pounds currently, Cities UK economist Benjamin Nabarro said in a note that the consumer prices index of inflation will peak at 18.6 percent in January. Now this is based just on current projections right now. He said the last time inflation was higher than 18.6 percent was in 1976, and that was after an oil supply shock that devastated the global economy and left the U.K. seeking a bailout from the International Monetary Fund. It last matched that level in 1980, according to Bloomberg

figures. We want to show you a chart here. This will give you a picture here of where they're expecting the inflation rate to land. So we're looking at historic levels. Now, they've had higher inflation rates in the past, but I think it's just based on the stories we've been talking about today, Rick, I think 18% is way too low. Yeah. I'm going to show you something. Let's keep this chart up here.

So Susan and I were married in 1974. I was 20 years old when I was married in 1974. Our daughter Carissa was born in 1976. Jeremy was born in 79. So I lived through this. Right. Okay. I get the shakes when I look at this chart because I have bad memories. Okay. I have some really bad memories when I look at that chart because I, a young married man with two children, it was tough. It was tough. And I lived, I grew up where I grew up. The economy wasn't good when the economy was good. Okay. Even, even when the rest

of the, when the rest of the country was having good economy where I lived, it still wasn't good. We hadn't gotten the news yet. So when the country had bad economy, it was really bad where I lived. Doc, I want you to see something here. Look over at 75, at the beginning of the chart. You see the peak?

The inflation peak. Now, go to 1980. You see another peak? Another spike. Then you go to 1990. Yes.

There are three waves in an inflation cycle. This is an inflation cycle. There are three waves. You see there, between 75 and 80, it went down. Yes. People thought, oh, good times are back. Right. And then it shot back up again.

An inflation cycle has three waves. And look at 1975 to 1990. How many years is that? That's 15 years. Okay. So go from 2022, add 15 years. We're in the mid-2030s. Close to 2040 by that time. Yeah.

That's where we're going, guys. This is what I want. This is what I want young people who are watching me. This is what I want you to understand. I've already been through this in my life. You are going into 10 to 15 years of runaway inflation, unemployment, shortages, energy crisis. It's a cycle. And you need, if you have knowledge of this, you'll make better decisions to get through it. Because when I was in my 20s, nobody showed me this chart. Nobody told me about cycles. Nobody gave me any wisdom of how to make the decisions to get through this 10 to 15 year period. I just had to do it the stupid way. And I don't like it. That's why I have such a passion for young families.

I really do. I have a passion for young families because I don't want them to hurt. I don't want them to suffer. I want them to get through these things, but you have to understand it's cyclical. It's cyclical. There will be three waves of inflation before this is over, Doc.

And we're just ramping up. We're in the first one. And we're just ramping up. Oh, we're just at the beginning. This is the first wave. It's like a roller coaster. You go up the peak and you come down. You go back up, come down.

You go back up again. Then on the third one, it levels out. So you got 10 to 15 years of this kind of roller coaster ride with inflation and shortages. It is not going to be a easy time for anybody. But if you're aware of it, if you have knowledge, you'll make better decisions and you'll know, oh, this has happened before. It's happened many times before. It's a cycle. Once you understand, see, here's the thing about cycles.

You're usually my age or older until you figure out the cycles. All right? And for us, it's like, well, what do I do with this now? I'm at the end of my life. So then you want to share it with people who are just starting their lives, but

they don't want to listen to an older person because they're just going to figure it out on their own. And so they'll go through it and get their heads knocked around. And then someday they'll be my age and they'll go, wow, there are cycles. And they'll try to tell their children and grandchildren about them. They won't want to listen. And that's why man is like this. This is why mankind just keeps going through cycles. And I believe that's a result of the flood.

It is. In my opinion, because the Lord said, as long as the earth remains, there'll be seed time and harvest. There'll be, there'll be winter seasons. There'll be things will be seed time and harvest. There will be winter seasons. There will be things that will go back and forth. There will be cycles. This is it.

You're going to be riding the treadmill until the end of the world. That's right. That's what the cycle is. It's the treadmill to the end of the world. And Solomon knew about cycles. He said, things that have been shall be again. Yes. All right.

There's nothing new under the sun. Learn about cycles. Yes. All right. There's nothing new under the sun. Learn about cycles. There are business cycles. There's war cycles. There are solar cycles. Yes. There are atmosphere, climate cycles. You know all this stuff about global warming.

Look, it's a cycle. It's a cycle. It's a 206-year cycle, and it's over. We're now going into a 206-year cooling cycle. It's all that it is. That's what it is. It's a cycle. The world is made of cycles.

The universe has cycles. And so the economy has cycles. And we are now in a steep inflationary cycle. And it's going to last 10 to 15 years. And there will be three peaks of inflation. And each peak will have a drop, a valley. And everybody will, the politicians and the news media will say, inflation's been whipped.

It's over. Right. And then it comes back. And that's when you need to be prepared. Yes. Because it's going to come back and slap you. It's not over until the end of the third peak. Right.

Then there will be about two decades of low inflation. Almost deflation. Right. Because you've wiped out the assets of so many people and everything, and now people have to start over again, and so that cycle has to be primed back up once again. So educate yourself, learn about inflationary cycles,

and find the wisdom from past experiences that people wrote about, talked about. Teach other generations. That's it for today. Thank you for being here. We'll be back tomorrow. God bless. God bless you.
