So from that, uh, sir, you can take it anywhere you want because what you said was just very, very riveting to me.

Well, thank you, Mike.

Um, Let's go back and talk about the big picture, the long-term background.

Remember that the building up of allowing the communists to come to power in China, as well as the communists to come to power in Russia, was part of a globalist conspiracy to create enemies that would drive us, the West that is, into a global government.

And this, of course, matured most... at least most of the way, during World War II, through Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, where we not only, in fact, after the war, we gave them the rest of the plans to the nuclear weapons that they couldn't get at the Manhattan Project, were they stealing them, and the first shipment of enriched uranium so that they could explode their first nuclear weapon by 1949.

So we made Russia a nuclear power.

And they quickly transferred, not quickly, but eventually transferred that technology to China.

Go ahead.

That's just my take.

Well, unfortunately, it's not going to be easy to divest ourselves of Israeli demands and influence because Israel, at least the deep state portion of Israel, is aligned with our own deep state, and they do a lot of the international dirty work of the CIA.

For example, almost all of the training... of ISIS and other terrorist leaders and Al Qaeda was done by the Israeli Arabs.

You know, there are Arabs that are hired by the Israelis to go in and infiltrate every Arab country in the Middle East.

And that's why they know everything the Iranians are doing.

They still haven't rooted out all the Israeli spies there.

But this is, you know, this is an integral part of our deep state.

But why do you say that? A lot of people say that they can't, and a lot of people say that they could.

What do you say to people that, you know, are... maybe they've got a setup of some kind in a place that, a blue place, and, uh, I mean, i- is that okay? I'm just curious what you think 'cause, 'cause [laughs] we're not moving or anything, but I'm just curious about the topic.

Well, it's, it's part of the complex decision-making about is there any perfectly safe place? And the answer is no.

Everything is a compromise.

I mean, even the, the two formerly five-star rated states in my book, Strategic Relocation, Idaho and Utah, have now been downgraded in the fourth edition, which is coming out at the end of this month, an all new updated edition of, uh, Strategic Relocation.

Uh, the only state that went up is South Dakota, um, because of their resistance to this, you know, pandemic, uh, idiocy of shutting down the economies, et cetera, and they had the courage of a governor and, and the state backed her up, you know, not shutting down the state.

Now, Washington is going the way of Oregon and California of being a Democratic tyranny state.

That said, um, as I pointed out, I can even find safe places in zero-rated states like California or New Jersey or, uh, uh, Florida.

Wow.

Take it away, Joel.

Well, thank you.

You know, as I point out in the book, your biggest threat to your long-term security is population density.

It's just living in a sea of humanity where your resources instantly disappears when a million people are competing for those same resources.

And when governments don't operate in an EMP strike or a nuclear war, when you have a cutoff of water and electricity, I mean, you have panic within... and pillaging within three days because that's how long it takes for everything to be stripped out of the supply chain.

Not just toilet paper as happened during this COVID-19 exaggerated crisis, but everything.

And so the basic strategy is you've got to find places that are rural enough that you can essentially survive in a long-term crisis.

What are your thoughts on that?
