We delve into global migration patterns, the influence of China, and the erosion of Western cultures, with Yon providing on-the-ground insights from his travels to critical geopolitical hotspots such as the Darien Gap, Okinawa, and Panama. The discussion addresses impending civil unrest, the role of information warfare, and strategic global power manipulations, highlighting the urgency of recognizing and addressing these escalating threats. And we examine the dire cultural and societal issues within the United States, focusing on the rampant drug epidemic, its impact on society’s susceptibility to control, and the strategies for individuals to safeguard their future through preparedness and organization.

laplata :"Thank you for posting this. Michael Yon knows his stuff.
Very scary what we’re facing.
At least most on our side won’t be in total shock because they are informed and better prepared both mentally and physically."
An Observation :
Tzom Tisha B'av ( https://jewishunpacked.com/tisha-bav-unpacked/ ) 8/11/2024

”In post-Temple times, the day continued to prove inauspicious for the Jewish people.
On the 9th of Av in 135 C.E., Betar, the last fortress of Shimon Bar Kochba and his Jewish army, fell to the Romans.
One year later, Hadrian, the Roman emperor and ruler of Jerusalem, plowed the area where the Temple had stood and established his own pagan temple. .."

”Based on the Talmudic idea of “huchpilu bo hatzarot” — meaning, “all tragedies that befall the Jewish people should be subsumed under the tragedy of the destruction of the two Temples”
— the rabbis designated the 9th of Av as the day that Jews would remember all of these distressing events.
“When the month of Av enters, one should decrease in joy,” Mishna Taanit 4:6 says.
In addition to fasting, traditionally observant Jews engage in heshbon hanefesh (literally, “an accounting of the soul”)
with a special focus on lessons that we as a Jewish community could learn from our past. “

(My Comment) : 8/11/24 is the day of rememberance for all the Jewish people of all the tragedies that have happened to the Jewish people
This is the optimum time and historical circumstance and date for an outbreak of the war between Hezbollah and Israel.
Act accordingly and be prepared for hostilities in the Middle East: fuel , food, water, and necessities.

Good point. I took note of that, too.

I’m going on 74 and in good health but wish I was 30 years younger.

[Obadiah]

No question about it.

[Big Red Badger]

Thanks!

[griffin]

Matt, looks like Doug Casey might like to have you on his show per the comments regarding the Yon interview.

[griffin]

THANK YOU.

Keep ‘em coming!

[metmom]

Yup.

Right now, as improbable as it seems, I think they are holding back, knowing if they went full out they’d be creamed in the election.

And if this is indeed restraint for them.........

Nope, we’re not going back to where the gov’t was your servant, and you were an independent and private sovereign actor.

[CottonBall]

TY, TIK, I will watch!

[CottonBall]

thx, I’ll watch her too.

I’m still watching the beginning of this one, he’s talking about civil war. Actually find that hopeful, if there’s a war that means we get to fight and there’s a chance. The Democrats cheating in November and taking over in a quiet Revolution would be a lot more hopeless.

[CottonBall]

We relocated (escaped) from CA. My #1 criteria was at least 3 states away from the southern border.

[Big Red Badger]

For those with Faith in a loving⅔ God...
It’s quite Easy....

[Big Red Badger]

Wourld Wide.

“Democrats cheating in November and taking over in a quiet Revolution would be a lot more hopeless.”

Agreed!

[laplata]

You’re right.

Is YouBoob still attaching that spyware script to people’s browsers?

[Openurmind]

As far as I know, I quit going there at all. I can’t take chances at all, I log into website admin panels and webserver environments. The risk is far too high.

But if I get caught up I will go and try to replicate it and see if they are still up to their games. :)

[MtnClimber]

I view it on Duck Duck Go - Duck Player. Does that stop the problem?

[Openurmind]

Know what? I don’t know, haven’t tried it yet. I will though. Thank you for asking!
