00:08:11.000This is Mike Adams, the health ranger, filling in today for Alex Jones.
00:08:16.000I'm the editor of Natural News and a frequent contributor to Infowars.com, where we break down issues like health freedom and GMOs, the chemical contaminants in your food supply, and many other issues.
00:08:28.000And before the break, we were talking about this new thing in D.C.
00:08:31.000The firefighters are being asked now to play a police role.
00:08:56.000But they're protesting it because, look, they don't have the firearms.
00:08:59.000They don't have the training of how to deal with Criminals with violent crime, physical combat, that kind of thing.
00:09:07.000So they're not given the proper training or equipment to deal with these law enforcement situations and yet they're being asked to play a law enforcement role.
00:09:57.000Maybe they're supposed to report terrorism.
00:09:59.000In fact, I think they were already asked to do that.
00:10:03.000But firefighters, a union spokesperson for the DC police says, quote, I think this is a disaster.
00:10:12.000You're putting untrained, unsupervised, unequipped firefighters in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in town to perform a law enforcement function.
00:11:13.000Now that it's come out that the tracking is happening, It has come out that Apple, that the phones actually synchronize with the Apple servers and they upload tracking information about which cell phone towers you're connected to every hour of the day.
00:11:30.000So now they've agreed to the first payout ever from Apple Inc.' 's Korean unit to pay compensation to a user.
00:11:40.000And the compensation is for collecting location data without consent.
00:15:24.000Congress controls the purse strings, and Obama and the executive branch of government simply carries them out.
00:15:31.000Well, that seems to be going by the wayside all of a sudden, because the executive branch wants to invoke all of these crazy... Remember the stuff from, what, this strange segment in the 14th Amendment that was used in the Civil War reparations?
00:16:17.000This is... Everybody's trying to say, we're not going to back down.
00:16:22.000But eventually they will have to because if they don't reach an agreement before August 2nd, in fact they need to reach it well before August 2nd so that the government can actually get organized enough to send out the checks on August 3rd.
00:16:37.000So they will reach an agreement because if they don't...
00:16:41.000On August 3rd, guess what's going to happen?
00:17:01.000has a AAA debt rating, which it should be junk bond status as of right now.
00:17:07.000And they're threatening to downgrade them just slightly, just a little bit from the AAA super wonderful rating down to something slightly less than super wonderful.
00:17:31.000Because the Fed just keeps printing more money, more quantitative easing, which is really just a code word for creating more fiat currency that's devaluing the value of your dollars.
00:17:43.000The dollars that you're depending on from Social Security, from your paycheck, from your retirement fund, whatever it might be, those dollars are becoming increasingly worthless every single day.
00:17:53.000It's like Alex said on the show earlier this week.
00:17:55.000Sure, you may get your Social Security check after August 3rd, but it's not worth as much anymore.
00:18:12.000In the near future, if the Fed keeps on printing money, you could be getting your Social Security check, they could add a couple of zeros on the end of it and you could still maybe buy a few loaves of bread and put a few gallons of gas in the tank and that's about all it's going to be able to handle.
00:18:27.000The dollars themselves are increasingly worthless thanks to the Fed, thanks to these cowards in Congress and in the executive branch who don't tackle the real issue, which is eliminating the debt, which is bringing down government spending, which is cutting government by as much as 80%.
00:18:47.000I think, let's cut it down to where we can actually afford a government.
00:18:52.000That so that we can actually pay our way and not go deeper into debt.

00:20:30.000We the people grow cotton, wheat fabric, engrave ink, embed strips and fibers to protect from counterfeit, then carting to a private bank, having it led back at interest, forcing taxes to service debt.
00:20:40.000Or was Jefferson correct when stating a central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army?

00:24:13.000I'm your host today, Mike Adams, the health ranger, editor of Natural News, and frequent contributor to Infowars.com on issues like health freedom and GMOs, many others.
00:24:22.000We've been talking about the debt ceiling in the last segment, and I've got some freaky news for you here today.
00:24:28.000Fifteen examples that show many Americans have become desperate They will do just about anything for money.
00:24:37.000This is from The Economic Collapse, and this is posted on InfoWars as well.
00:25:07.000I'm not sure that there's a big market for that kind of hunting going on, but it just shows how desperate people are.
00:25:13.000Wow, the Huffington Post is reporting that there's an epidemic of air conditioning thefts all across the country.
00:25:19.000Remember when they used to steal the air conditioning for the air conditioning unit?
00:25:25.000Now they're just stealing it for the copper in it.
00:25:28.000You've got thieves all across the country bringing down the power grid in local communities just because they want to steal the copper wire.
00:25:38.000And alongside that, by the way, this whole issue of minerals that you've got to mine out of planet Earth, these minerals are going to be in very short supply in the years ahead, especially the rare earth minerals.
00:27:51.000It's designed to make people desperate, to put people on the streets, to put people on the government payroll, to put them on unemployment benefits and food stamps because that's where people are easier to control.
00:28:01.000And the idea that individuals and entrepreneurs could go out and start their own businesses and have a successful business, that's being suppressed by things like Obamacare, right?
00:28:11.000Where the big corporations that have the inside track with big government, oh, they get the waivers.
00:28:18.000If you're McDonald's or some of these other companies, you don't have to buy insurance for your employees.
00:28:23.000But if you're an individual entrepreneur trying to create jobs in America and do something innovative, you are punished.
00:28:30.000You are financially called to task by the government.
00:28:35.000This is what's happening in America today.
00:28:37.000The regulatory environment is so oppressive.
00:28:40.000And even in the health area, we've talked about this a lot, that the cancer cures that really work All those clinics are chased out of the country.
00:28:49.000That's why the cancer clinics that you go to today that really do the job, they're in Mexico or the Cayman Islands or other places, they're not allowed in America.
00:33:31.000We've got a great show happening for you today.
00:33:34.000In fact, in this segment we are joined by Julie Bass from Oak Park, Michigan.
00:33:39.000As promised, bringing you Julie Bass here.
00:33:42.000Let me give you a little bit of background about this situation.
00:33:44.000In case you're not familiar with it, Julie Bass is being threatened with up to 93 days of jail time for the amazing crime, the crime of planting a vegetable garden in her own front yard.
00:34:01.000Yeah, we've been covering this on Natural News and InfoWars.com has articles on this as well.
00:34:07.000This is really happening in America today.
00:34:09.000The bureaucrats are out of control with suppressing food freedom.
00:34:14.000It's not just the food safety bill from last year.
00:34:16.000Remember Senate Bill 510, Food Safety Modernization Act, that allowed the FDA to come in and inspect small greenhouses and small farms and required loads of paperwork just to be able to sell your own food to your own neighbors.
00:34:31.000Now they're getting, they're suppressing the actual farms themselves, and they're going after front yard gardeners like Julie Bess.
00:34:41.000So we're gonna be talking to Julie, but...
00:34:44.000In Oak Park, Oak Park, Michigan, they have a regulation that says that front yards have to be planted with either pavement, they're okay with pavement, you can just pave your whole yard, they'd be fine with that.
00:35:26.000It makes the city a more beautiful place.
00:35:29.000But Kevin Rutkowski, the city planner from Oak Park, Michigan, he has some strange dictionary from Mars, and in that dictionary he says, suitable means common.
00:36:29.000Can you break this down for our listeners who may not be familiar with the situation?
00:36:34.000I gave the intro there, but did I leave anything out?
00:36:38.000Give us the rundown of what's going on.
00:36:41.000I think you had a pretty good summary.
00:36:42.000The only thing I do want to correct is my neighbors are actually awesome.
00:36:45.000My neighbors are super and they're supportive and they're friendly and our neighborhood is really And our neighbors have really been terrific.
00:36:54.000So it's not any bad whining neighbor or anything that's causing us problems.
00:37:10.000What we were told originally by the code enforcement person was that he was following up since I had spoken to the technical and planning director, Kevin Olkowski, as you pointed out.
00:37:20.000Um, I had spoken to him about what we wanted to do, and we went back and forth about whether he could find anything or not, and, um, the planning director told me that he couldn't find anything about vegetables specifically, or gardens specifically, but he knew you could do decorative planting, but he would keep checking about the vegetables.
00:37:37.000Um, so we went ahead and did decorative planting meanwhile, and then the code enforcement person came and he said he was following up with us from my conversation for the planning official.
00:37:48.000So it could be, you know, people have said, oh, you brought this on yourself by trying to ask permission.
00:37:52.000But, you know, we were just trying to go through the proper channels and do the right thing, and I'm not really sure why the city is coming down on us.
00:37:59.000Well, what would they say if you planted decorative cabbages?
00:38:03.000You know, the colorful cabbages that you see used in cities as decorative plants.
00:38:29.000No vegetables in front yard space must be low-key.
00:38:32.000And then the actual ticket, what they cited us for, even though the language says, you know, it has to be other suitable live plant material, what they actually wrote on our citation is vegetables in front yard.
00:38:44.000And that's what the misdemeanor charge is, that we have vegetables.
00:38:46.000But that's not in the regulations even for the city.
00:38:48.000They don't have anything against vegetables written in there.
00:38:50.000They just say suitable live plant material, right?
00:39:31.000Yeah, that's exactly the problem, is these very ambiguous, you know, code things, and then they expect people to follow code, but nobody really knows exactly what they mean, so it leaves the city room to just harass you at will if they decide that they have something against you.
00:39:46.000Now, were you aware of how much tyranny is present in even local government before this happened?
00:39:53.000I mean, did you follow anything about what's happening with the government and our freedoms and our rights?
00:39:57.000Or did all of this just sort of happen for you spontaneously out of this gardening situation?
00:40:03.000You know, I follow politics in a general sense.
00:40:06.000I have some sense of what the federal government is doing.
00:40:09.000On a local level, though, especially a little city like Oak Park, We've always had very friendly relations with everybody.
00:40:16.000We wave at the police when they drive by.
00:41:34.000My kids are joking that, you know, they're fighting over who gets to be the secretary next and take messages.
00:41:39.000But pretty much every single day now is juggling between doing interviews, taking phone calls, responding to emails, going on different shows.
00:41:48.000You know, people really, a lot of people are invested in this issue from different standpoints.
00:41:53.000You know, we've got the gardening people, and the sustainability people, and the water conservation people, and the environmental people, and the freedom people, and you know, everyone sees part of their own issue encapsulated in what we're doing.
00:42:07.000And by the way, you're really well-spoken, Julie, and I hope that you realize what an important role you are now playing in the food freedom movement.
00:43:59.000I mean, maybe the mayor's on your side.
00:44:01.000I don't know where your mayor stands on this issue, but just to make that statement, to say we don't want you to have jail time, because you're facing, I mean, jail is taking away all of your rights.
00:44:11.000Jail is a place where you have no bill of rights.
00:44:16.000You don't even, I mean, your garden would die out of neglect, and that would make it look even worse, which would make the city look worse.
00:44:24.000How do they think throwing you in jail is going to help Oak Park look better?
00:44:28.000You know, I think that at first it happened so quickly.
00:44:31.000They didn't really think about having Elk Park look better.
00:44:34.000I think they just were very focused on trying to bully me and to take in regard in a way and trying to intimidate me.
00:44:39.000And, you know, when the warning didn't work, then they issued the citation.
00:44:43.000And when the citation didn't work, we had the court date.
00:44:46.000And when the court date didn't work, they said, you know, it's a misdemeanor and there's the jail time attached.
00:44:52.000So they keep kind of bumping up the stakes of things, I think, just to get us.
00:45:21.000I mean, when we were in court and the judge was explaining that in most communities what we're doing would only be an ordinance violation, but in Oak Park it actually is a misdemeanor where we're going to need to have a trial.
00:45:32.000And she said we could either have a trial in front of just the judge or we could have a trial by jury.
00:45:37.000And I said, okay, we'll take the jury, please.
00:45:39.000And they've turned that into me asking, you know, like somehow I went and knocked on the courthouse door and said, hey, could you guys take me to trial for something?
00:45:47.000Could you guys, you know, give me a trial?
00:45:49.000I really want to be persecuted by the city.
00:46:12.000I mean, I don't even know how they could credibly spin it so that, you know, I don't know how a citizen would just go to the court and ask for a trial about nothing.
00:46:21.000You know, the city has to accuse, the city has to bring charges, the city has to initiate all of the actions, and yeah, we're not doing too much boot kissing, so I guess that's really making them upset.
00:47:03.000And, um, we had a friend who went into City Hall and it was the secretaries just sitting there.
00:47:08.000And they said all of the officials were behind closed doors, not talking to anybody.
00:47:12.000And they said that the secretaries should just deal with it.
00:47:15.000So, you know, if people want to do something, they should send some cupcakes to the secretaries or something for, for trying to do such a great job in the face of so much publicity.
00:47:23.000Yeah, well isn't it interesting, the city officials now, they're circling the wagons, shutting the doors, it's all going to be conversations in secret, they're still plotting against you.
00:47:31.000You know, if they had any sense of public relations, I mean if they had any experience at all, they would issue an apology, they would back down, and they would make this a non-news issue, and it would fade away in 24 hours.
00:47:48.000You know, all along there have been people, very few, but there have been people who said, I'm just looking for 15 minutes of fame, or I'm just looking to, you know, make myself a household name.
00:48:29.000They're making it up as they go along.
00:48:31.000I'd really like people to remember, you know, when they're debating the correctness or the wrongness or anything, it's just that there's actually no rule that I'm violating.
00:48:41.000There's nothing that I set out to do wrong.
00:48:43.000It wasn't meant to be an act of civil disobedience.
00:48:45.000Their own rules really don't say anything about what I'm doing that would be in violation.
00:48:51.000Well, and this is going to be, I think, a national issue, and those of you listening today, I encourage you to grow your own food.
00:48:58.000Grow it in your backyard if you want, but grow it in your front yard if you want.
00:49:11.000Yeah, I was a nursery teacher, actually.
00:49:12.000Yeah, so I taught about it, and now I've had... I have a very elderly neighbor who Um, came down the block when we first planted it and she just got this huge smile and she said, this reminds me of the Victory Garden from when I was growing up.
00:50:13.000They don't want kids learning that stuff because then they might have their own independent food supply and they wouldn't be dependent on government food stamps.
00:50:24.000Now, also, for those who want to take action who are listening to this, because a lot of people want to help you out and be in support, should they keep calling Oak Park or is it just too much now?
00:50:34.000I really have no sense of whether it's too much, not enough.
00:50:37.000I know that there's a petition online that people have been signing.
00:52:04.000A new world order based upon collective action.
00:52:08.000Invisible Empire is a damning indictment of the globalists through their own words and documents.
00:52:13.000The New World Order really is a tool for addressing a new world of possibilities.
00:52:17.000It means all the world under their control.
00:52:20.000The United Nations would take over America.
00:52:22.000The Trilateral Commission would control the world.
00:52:25.000Invisible Empire chronicles how men of power and influence have worked in stealth for centuries to establish an oppressive world government.
00:52:33.000I believe, first of all, that we now need nothing short of a world constitution for the global financial system.
00:52:39.000Global governance with the establishment of the G20.
00:52:42.000So it's going to be an inner ruling elite and then everyone else.

00:54:55.000So, you know, if people want to follow what's going on, they're welcome to check in.
00:54:59.000I know there's also a Facebook page that my friend started, and that's just gone crazy.
00:55:05.000I hear that there are thousands of people on there all the time.
00:55:11.000I know that my husband put a link to it on the right side of the blog.
00:55:15.000Really, though, I guess the source for official information would kind of be the blog, because that's me writing, so that anything that's there, you know, is actually truthful and has been, you know, people can say whatever they want on Facebook, but my blog is actually me.
00:56:17.000At this point, I'm hoping that we're able to grow enough so that my kids can just have some, and if we have extra, we can share with the neighbors.
00:56:24.000I've never really had a garden before, so I don't, I think, have a concept of how much produce I'm actually going to get out of the garden.
00:56:30.000Wait a minute, this is your first garden?
00:56:32.000I mean, we had last year a few little planter boxes, but yeah, this is the first time, which I said jokingly to my husband after we put it out in front, you know, this might have been a bad idea, because if we kill everything, it's going to be a pretty public failure.
00:57:29.000But look, this is a solution for people.
00:57:32.000So why wouldn't the city come to you and say, Julie, you should be our spokesperson for healthy, happy cities?
00:57:39.000Um, I think the city's very much trying to stay mired in its, you know, 1954 mentality.
00:57:44.000Somebody actually wrote a really, really incorrect article that was on Time, on their website, and basically stressed how... But she was positive, and she said, you know, Oak Park is so into conformity, and it's so nice to be there because everything's exactly the same, and it's so good to be there because nothing ever changes, and, you know, people commented, like, ooh, that's like a separate town, you know?
00:58:07.000Oh yeah, when you drive down the road, you don't even know what road you're on because everything looks exactly the same.
00:58:12.000Julie, I'm sorry to cut you off, but we're going out to break here.
01:00:28.000This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, editor of Natural News, filling in for Alex today.
01:00:35.000And we have Paul Joseph Watson joining us during this half hour, and at the bottom of the hour, going to be joined by Jeffrey Smith with a GMO update.
01:00:48.000And Paul Watson, as you know, one of the best investigative writers out there on the front lines of the freedom movement, constant contributor to PrisonPlanet.com and Infowars.com.
01:01:03.000Mr. Watson, are you with us right now?
01:01:21.000It appears as if we're approaching the endgame in Libya.
01:01:25.000This is kind of floating under the radar today, what with all the debt news and the economic fallout going on.
01:01:34.000But basically, we're either going to see Colonel Gaddafi step down or See Tripoli leveled by NATO bombardment and this is something that's going to happen within weeks rather than months.
01:01:49.000So I want to give a pretty big update on the situation there at the moment.
01:01:55.000Alright, I want to ask you more details about that on the other side of this break as well.
01:01:59.000Because, you know, not all the radio affiliates carry this segment.
01:02:04.000But it sounds like the details here are getting pretty gruesome.
01:02:08.000And this is still all taking place in a context of not war.
01:02:15.000Well exactly, I mean that's the arrogance with which the Obama administration has pursued this campaign by labeling it a kinetic military action and not a war.
01:02:26.000Which is kind of in conflict to the fact that over 800, there have been over 800 bombing runs involving US warplanes.
01:02:35.000Now according to Libyan and other third-party authorities, over a thousand civilians killed.
01:02:43.000Obviously those numbers are highly disputed on either side.
01:02:46.000But for sure there have been civilian deaths in the past few weeks.
01:02:49.000We've had bombings of universities, hospitals and apartment buildings and all those have been confirmed.
01:02:57.000NATO had to admit to the fact that in those three cases, the bombs, the smart bombs had gone astray and civilians had been killed.
01:03:06.000Basically what's happening now, certainly in Europe and as you've seen over the past couple of days in the US, the debt situation is so out of control that basically there's no money to fund this anymore.
01:03:17.000Obama said it would be days, not weeks.
01:03:20.000We're now nearly four months into it and the Pentagon basically has run out of ideas on how to creatively fiddle the accounts to move money to pay for all these bombs and these bombing missions.
01:03:34.000The NATO forces are completely exhausted and they're having to settle for second best, which is this kind of second choice Gaddafi step down whereby his government would maintain a lot of influence in the country.
01:03:49.000So when we come back, I just want to go over the fact that this is now in the works and it's basically going to be imminent, but it could still go the other way.
01:05:39.000And the Congress is saying, who do we make the check out to? - Today, it seems like nobody does care.
01:05:44.000And right now in Washington, D.C., we have seen a fall of the Republic.
01:05:49.000Get your copy of Fall of the Republic on DVD at InfoWars.com or watch it online right now in super high quality at PrisonPlanet.tv Hi folks, this is Alex Jones and I want to tell you about the Silver Lungs Generator.

01:06:46.000Go to www.SilverLungs.com today and learn more about the breakthrough technology of the Silver Lungs Generator.
01:08:11.000Welcome back folks Mike Adams here filling in for Alex Jones today, and we are talking with Paul Joseph Watson About the situation in Libya and Paul before the break.
01:08:23.000We're giving us some details Can you give us the the rundown again the endgame plan?
01:08:31.000for Libya and This can you comment also on this Qaddafi suicide plan for the capital that's being reported in the news Yeah, well basically, this is breaking news.
01:08:44.000We're approaching endgame in Libya, and it's likely to be weeks, not months, until this thing's wrapped up.
01:08:51.000The more likely of the two scenarios, and this is what's been reported today in Shin Hua out of Chinese News and also Debka File is apparently in a bid to save Tripoli from basically being completely flattened.
01:09:07.000Gaddafi has agreed to cut a deal which is being mediated by the Russians and the French to step down from power, but it comes with a lot of attachments.
01:09:18.000One of which is that his son has to be involved in the next so-called democratic election, and another is that Gaddafi himself Uh, wants to avoid extradition, obviously, because it would mean he would be carted off to face the International Criminal Court.
01:09:34.000So yesterday, um, the Obama administration gave the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov permission to broker a deal with Qaddafi, um, that will see him step down as a symbolic leader, but in the long run it won't eliminate much of his influence over the country.
01:09:53.000So basically, we have Obama walking away from the Libya war with his tail between his legs.
01:10:01.000You know, as we said before the break, the battle over the debt ceiling, the imminent downgrading of America's credit status, the plunging economy.
01:10:10.000All this has taken precedence and the White House, along with NATO, is basically having to abandon this one.
01:10:16.000They can't afford to pay for it anymore.
01:10:19.000We have the debt crisis again like America reverberating around Europe and there's just no money to pay for the fighter jets and the bombs.
01:10:26.000So Debka File reports today, this is their headline, the Libyan war ends, Obama makes Moscow peace broker, NATO halts strikes.
01:10:38.000And those sentiments are also being echoed out of Xinhua, Chinese media, with the headline, Obama Conditionally Backs Political Solution to Libya Conflict.
01:10:49.000So if Gaddafi follows through on this promise to step down, then the war is over.
01:10:55.000But as I said before the break, if he changes tack at the last minute, then the outcome is going to be very different indeed.
01:11:04.000Last month we reported the fact that US troops are being readied for a ground invasion set to take place in October if Gaddafi refused to step down.
01:11:13.000And indeed, I reported on prisonplanet.com.
01:11:17.000Two weeks ago, the fact that NATO was basically at the end of its tether and ready to launch a full-out ground assault again if Qadhafi refused to talk, which appears as if he's now agreed to do.
01:11:31.000But the bottom line is that Qadhafi is not going to allow these rebels or NATO or anyone else to take Tripoli without a fight.
01:11:41.000Even though the rebels are keen to go in, you know, they're 50 miles from Tripoli, they're in the mountainous region surrounding Tripoli, but their funding is simply drying up, whereas Gaddafi has these hordes of cash and gold that he's stored, he's secreted away for a crisis that would enable him to fund his government for the best part of another year.
01:12:03.000But as you just mentioned, we now have this claim by the special envoy from Russia, from the Kremlin, Mikhail Maragov who says that Gaddafi has promised to line the city with missiles and raise it to the ground if it looks like they're going to come in and violently topple him.
01:12:23.000So, Gaddafi would rather launch a suicide mission than surrender to NATO or these rebels militarily.
01:12:32.000Sorry to interrupt, Paul, but do you think that part of what's going through his mind, I mean, you notice that Gaddafi has stored gold, not U.S.
01:12:57.000Certainly, yeah, because as we know, Libya has six billion dollars worth of gold and that was one of the primary reasons for NATO and the White House going in there in the first place.
01:13:08.000In addition, of course, to the fact that it's the richest oil country in the whole continent of Africa.
01:13:14.000So yeah, Gaddafi has got the resources to sit tight and wait this out, whereas the rebels and NATO do not.
01:13:21.000And in fact, Also on the US side of it, it was reported last week that the Pentagon was trying to ask Congress if it could move money around to cover the debts that they've already spent on bombing Libya since March.
01:13:36.000So they're already having to get creative with the accounting.
01:13:39.000Of course, Congress has refused sanction funding for the war.
01:13:43.000So, whereas NATO and the US and the White House, their funds have dried up, Gaddafi's got the resources to sit tight and he can wait it out for the best part of another year.
01:14:00.000Do you think, how is the West going to make sure that it has its Hands in the pie, so to speak, in Libya after Qaddafi steps down.
01:14:10.000Because we always know the West wants to have control of every puppet government that goes in place.
01:14:15.000How are they planning to maintain control over Libya in this situation?
01:14:20.000Well obviously they're going to first have a transitional government, which is then going to lead to some so-called democratic elections.
01:14:27.000But just as we saw in Iraq, and of course in Afghanistan, they're just going to get the most loyal mafia bosses that will basically do anything they say, and they're going to try and get them to run and be successful in the election.
01:14:40.000But the problem is, Um, if Gaddafi still has an influence, and if his son is involved in that election, then huge numbers of Libyans still support Gaddafi.
01:14:50.000You know, some people have said 60% Webster Sarpley went over there and recently appeared on the Alex Jones Show, and he said everywhere he went, basically, they were pro-Gaddafi.
01:15:01.000Obviously, Around Tripoli, it's more pro-Gaddafi than other areas, but he's got significant support in the country.
01:15:08.000So if Gaddafi could just get his people to run in the elections, then he could turn himself into a Vladimir Putin-style dictator who, although isn't symbolically in power, is still kind of running things from behind the scenes.
01:15:24.000Well, that's why the last thing the West wants is free and open elections for For Libya, right?
01:15:30.000I mean, they want controlled elections where they can make sure their candidates get into office and the ones they don't want somehow end up losing the elections.
01:15:39.000Well exactly, which is why they need to extradite Gaddafi.
01:15:42.000They need to get him out of the country and in front of the ICC.
01:15:47.000So then his whole power structure will inevitably collapse.
01:15:50.000But if he's allowed to remain in the country, obviously he's going to have massive control over the aftermath of any transitional government, even if he is forced to step down.
01:16:00.000But I mean, there are still people who think that he won't step down and that he's too proud to do so, which is why we had this report a couple of weeks back about NATO planning a final all-out assault, a coup de grace, in a bid to topple Gaddafi.
01:16:15.000And they said they already had the American, the French, the British troops on standby.
01:16:20.000So it's certainly not cut and dried yet, and they could still go for this massive final bombardment.
01:16:27.000But it appears as if they've given Gaddafi this ultimatum.
01:16:31.000You know, either go or we're going to completely level, triply turn it into a car park.
01:16:37.000And basically that's what we're going to see unfold over the next six to eight weeks.
01:16:41.000If Gaddafi agrees to go, then it will all happen quite peacefully.
01:16:47.000Then the next government that goes in will have to borrow money from the World Bank to rebuild its infrastructure and all of that contract money will be awarded to U.S.
01:17:11.000But bear in mind that this whole diplomatic solution was Gaddafi's idea.
01:17:16.000He was the one that proposed it in early April, shortly after the bombardment began.
01:17:22.000But at the time, NATO rejected it because they thought, you know, again, days, not weeks.
01:17:27.000They thought it would be a walk in the park and they would just topple him within a matter of days.
01:17:32.000Um, you know, three months later it's proven to be the opposite.
01:17:36.000Gaddafi's government has held back NATO, he's held back these Al-Qaeda rebels without deploying a single fighter jet or firing a single missile.
01:17:46.000So, this represents a complete failure for both NATO and the Obama administration.
01:17:52.000At the outset they claimed it was for humanitarian purposes and that it had nothing to do with regime change, but now The only thing that will stop the bombardment on their part is regime change.
01:18:04.000And one by one, the countries in NATO have abandoned the cause.
01:18:08.000Obviously, a few weeks ago, Italy bailed out.
01:18:12.000And basically, Obama's gone away with his tail between his legs because now he's so distracted with his debt situation, he's basically lost the enthusiasm to prosecute this war.
01:18:24.000And it represents a kind of victory in that sense for Qaddafi.
01:18:27.000This crucial mistake of underestimating the complexity of occupying ground with ground forces.
01:18:36.000I mean, this is the same mistake that Western nations, especially the U.S., make again and again in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam, going back a few years, and today in Libya.
01:18:48.000Why do Western governments have such military arrogance where they think they can just press a few buttons, knock off a few bases and just march right in?
01:19:00.000I think, Mike, it's because they believe their own echo chamber of propaganda.
01:19:04.000They believe that, you know, everything's going to be a cakewalk and that Gaddafi's government people would suddenly just abandon him, that the army would just stand down and flee the whole country.
01:19:18.000Probably the majority of people still support Gaddafi.
01:19:21.000And especially in the stronghold areas, that is the case.
01:19:25.000Gaddafi's army has the most sophisticated weapons, he's got the money.
01:19:29.000You know, and he's got the moral imperative to hold his ground, so the fact that they said it would be days, not weeks, again, just shows their arrogance and their stupidity in believing their own propaganda.
01:19:40.000All right, Paul Watson, we've got to go to a break here.
01:19:43.000We're going to continue with you on the other side of this break to get more details about the developing situation in Libya.
01:19:49.000Stay with us here on the Alex Jones Show.

01:23:22.000The Door Sentinel, always on guard for you.
01:24:15.000Mike Adams, the health ranger, and Mr. Watson, who is really one of the best geopolitical analysts out there today in the world.
01:24:25.000Is giving us a breakdown of the situation in Libya, and I know you have some additional information, but I want to ask you specifically, Paul Watson, how, in your view, in your analysis, is this likely to affect oil prices in the short term, but then also the oil supply in the long term, assuming that Western forces can get some control over the nation of Libya?
01:24:53.000Well, at the moment, the oil from Libya is basically completely cut off, but as far as I understand it, these rebels are about to seize control of some major oil ports.
01:25:04.000So, basically, once the Western powers, once the globalists get full control of the oil, they can decide what to do with it.
01:25:12.000Of course, in the case of Iraq, it was largely the fact that they wanted to keep this artificial scarcity going, and the oil never really flowed from Iraq.
01:25:21.000So again, to say that they just want to do this to make money out of selling the oil is not the case.
01:25:26.000It's more about just controlling the area strategically and being able to maintain this artificial scarcity which keeps oil prices high, which is precisely what they want as part of this post-industrial revolution, as they've said on many occasions.
01:25:43.000If the rebels get control of that oil, then that eventuality will quickly become clear.
01:25:49.000But for the moment, the oil is still cut off because most of it is still under the control of Qaddafi's forces.
01:25:56.000And all of this action taking place right now and this announcement by Qaddafi is just pushing oil into huge volatility, it seems like, right now, right?
01:26:09.000I mean, immediately after the bombardment began, oil shot up.
01:26:13.000It's kind of levelled off now, so I mean, we'll wait to see in which direction it heads, because obviously, you know, oil is levelling off at the 100 to 110 level, so it remains to be seen.
01:26:25.000But I mean, either way, if Gaddafi steps down, or if NATO have to launch this final massive assault to topple him, they want this done and dusted by early September, because that's when Obama and President Sarkozy, the French President, plan on hosting this peace summit.
01:26:43.000Again, you know, Obama, the Nobel Peace Laureate, fought More troops deployed than at any time under Bush, you know, involved in more wars.
01:26:51.000But they've got this peace summit planned for September 2nd in Paris between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
01:26:57.000And Obama and Sarkozy, it's important for them not to still be involved in this war because they want to pose as peacemakers.
01:27:06.000So either way, for them, Qaddafi has to be gone by September.
01:27:10.000So we're talking six to eight weeks before this thing has to be signed off.
01:27:15.000But as I said before the break, it's largely been a complete failure because it's going to be a heck of a lot more difficult for NATO and the White House to control the post-Qaddafi transition.
01:27:28.000And I can't help thinking that there's got to be a lot of economic pressure in the US To get more oil flowing and keep oil prices artificially low somehow out of this situation in Libya because price inflation is causing a lot of pain across America and that's getting people even more freaked out than they are already with the idea that they won't get their social security checks after August 3rd.
01:27:51.000Precisely, and that's exactly what the White House is now trying to do.
01:27:55.000It's trying to scaremonger both lawmakers and the American people into acquiescing with whatever it wants to do with the financial agenda by threatening to not send out the checks, by threatening similar Catastrophic events as we had before the 2008 bailout vote when Hank Paulson went and told everybody that there would be, you know, a complete crisis, martial law on the streets of America if they didn't vote for the bailout.
01:28:21.000So now we're seeing a similar situation.
01:28:23.000But in Libya, it's also about Stopping China from re-colonising the entire continent of Africa.
01:28:30.000So it's not only related to resources, oil and gold being prime amongst them, it's also to do with stopping China's geopolitical expansion.
01:28:40.000So, I mean, they're trying to get this through on multiple levels, but it looks as if they're going to have to settle for a lot less if they merely get Gaddafi to step down and if his influence still pervades the country, which it's looking like it will do.
01:28:55.000Unless they launch this massive final bombardment, which they're still obviously considering.
01:29:02.000It's going to be fascinating to see how this plays out.
01:29:04.000And I want to thank you for joining us today with this analysis.
01:29:08.000Paul Watson, I want to encourage listeners to read more of Paul's stories on InfoWars.com, where he's going to continue to follow this issue.

01:33:19.000I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, editor of Natural News.
01:33:23.000And in this segment, we're going to be joined by GMO expert and advocate for safe food, Jeffrey Smith from the Institute for Responsible Technology.
01:33:33.000Jeffrey Smith is one of our favorite informers of what's going on on the front lines of food and GMOs and biotechnology.
01:33:43.000And in fact, let me bring Jeffrey right on in here with a quick intro.
01:33:47.000Institute for Responsible Technology, they're a great non-profit group doing some of the most important work out there.
01:33:54.000Responsibletechnology.org is their website.
01:33:58.000And every year, by the way, we at Natural News, we actually raise money for this group because they're doing such great work.
01:34:04.000So we're always happy to have Jeffrey on.
01:34:11.000Now, there has been a disturbing development regarding Scott's Miracle-Gro and a petition with the USDA regarding Kentucky bluegrass, genetically modified yard grass, essentially.
01:34:24.000Can you give us the breakdown of what that's all about and why it will impact us for the foreseeable future?
01:34:33.000Two really important things to understand about this latest release of information by the USDA.
01:34:40.000The first is that they're saying that for technical reasons they have no choice, no desire to do any regulatory oversight over the release of this Kentucky Bluegrass.
01:34:52.000It's genetically engineered not to die when sprayed with Roundup herbicide.
01:34:57.000So people will douse it with herbicide in order to kill the weeds.
01:35:00.000But it doesn't fit into some obscure categories, which has been the USDA's requirements to be involved.
01:35:06.000It doesn't affect the EPA whatsoever, which looks after certain GM crops.
01:35:13.000So in other words, This ruling means that certain genetically engineered crops, maybe most of the future crops that we introduced into the United States that are not food, will have no regulatory agency to look after them.
01:35:26.000It'll be completely self-regulated by the companies who can decide to put it on the market and not even tell us that it's genetically engineered.
01:35:34.000Let me be clear about this for those listening.
01:35:40.000The USDA is essentially saying we have no basis from which to regulate this genetically modified grass and that same logic, if I'm hearing you correctly, Jeffrey, that same logic and reasoning could now be used for virtually all, well, maybe not all, but many varieties of genetically modified crops.
01:36:01.000You see, the reason why this is the case is that back in 1992, the pro-GM Bush administration wanted to figure out how to get GMOs on the market with as little resistance as possible.
01:36:16.000So they desperately did not want Congress to pass any new laws.
01:36:22.000Created what they called a regulatory framework, which looked at existing laws which were not competent to actually evaluate and assess genetically modified crops, but were able to kind of jerry-rig them to say, ah, here's how we're going to review GM crops using this old law from 1914 and this old law from 1950 and this law, etc.
01:36:41.000Well, because the laws aren't really designed for genetically modified crops, the USDA required that certain plants have actual tests potential or weed potential in order to be regulated.
01:36:54.000But because they say that this Scott's Kentucky bluegrass has no pest potential and slight weed potential, that they're not even going to look at it.
01:37:29.000Not only could it be happening now, although they say it'll be a while before they develop its marketing, it not only could happen now, but already there's about 185 million pounds of Roundup being sprayed in the United States.
01:37:44.000And the USDA just approved Roundup ready alfalfa, and alfalfa's grown on more than 20 million acres, so that'll dramatically increase the amount of Roundup.
01:37:53.000And if we have grasses now getting Roundup, what we're going to see is a formula for a catastrophe.
01:37:59.000Roundup has been linked to birth defects, Parkinson's disease, endocrine disruption, lower sperm counts, abnormal sperm, birth defects, etc.
01:38:07.000And we're seeing a situation now where it's in such high quantities It's in our food, it's in our water, and it's going to be on the playgrounds where kids are playing soccer and where golfers are playing golf.
01:38:20.000Just so it's clear again for those listening, I almost can't overemphasize this.
01:38:25.000Based on this decision by the USDA, which is essentially a hands-off decision.
01:38:33.000It's a surrender of the USDA to the biotech industry.
01:38:36.000Because of this, your neighbors could soon begin planting GMO grass all around you and spraying their yards with Roundup just non-stop.
01:38:48.000Your whole neighborhood, all the playgrounds, all the areas around you could be sprayed with Roundup because of this decision.
01:38:54.000Which accumulates over time for months or years and stays in the soil to affect people, animals and also it increases plant disease.
01:39:02.000I wrote a letter to the USDA spokesperson this morning and got a reply back also this morning.
01:39:08.000I wanted to try and punch holes in this regulatory framework.
01:39:11.000I said, let's say you have a GM grass that puts out aromas that cause people to become mellow or complacent or sexually aroused or highly alert, or which promote hunger or cravings for a particular company's food or lack of cravings.
01:39:34.000So now you have marketers that can come and put in, they can do lawns that attract cats to go to the bathroom on it, or lawns that detract, that push, repel cats and dogs.
01:39:44.000They can have grasses, they can produce catnip to get cats stoned.
01:39:49.000In fact, years ago, there was a nicotine company, a tobacco company that grew tobacco with higher levels of addictive nicotine.
01:39:58.000They smuggled it into Brazil, grew it, then brought it into the United States and put a cigarette in each pack of 20 to create more addiction in U.S.
01:40:09.000It is possible with this law that this would be completely unregulated by the USDA, FDA, or EPA.
01:40:16.000All right, so now what you're painting here for us is a future of genetically modified lawns where they could have lawns growing drugs or even vaccines.
01:40:26.000Couldn't you actually have grass growing vaccines in your front yard?
01:40:30.000Well, if they're technically drugs and they're taken in, then the FDA may have jurisdiction.
01:40:58.000Come on over, we're having a block party on our Viagra lawn.
01:41:01.000And in the backyard we have Prozac lawn.
01:41:03.000I think we need to run this by the Oak Park City Planner's office in Michigan to see if they approve of the suitable live plant material of your Viagra lawn.
01:41:17.000Well, we have a situation here is it demonstrates the complete facade.
01:41:22.000You see, back in 1992, when the Bush administration told the regulatory agencies to promote GMOs, there was only one of them that had real strong laws in place that could slow down the promotion.
01:41:36.000So what they did is the FDA brought in Monsanto's former attorney, Michael Taylor, to be in charge of policy.
01:41:43.000And through some kind of sleight of hand, somehow he was able to allow GMOs to go on the market and give them generally recognized as safe status.
01:41:53.000In other words, he told the companies themselves, we require no safety studies whatsoever.
01:41:59.000If you determine that your food, genetically modified, is safe, we believe you.
01:42:04.000We believe you, Monsanto, who told us that DDT, Agent Orange, and PCBs were safe.
01:42:09.000Now, Michael Taylor, who was in charge of policy, was Monsanto's former attorney, later Monsanto's vice president, and now he was put in as the U.S.
01:42:18.000food safeties are in the Right, the great revolving door between government and private industry.
01:42:24.000But does all this mean now, Jeffrey, that has the government basically just surrendered to biotech?
01:42:30.000Just thrown in the towel and said, forget it?
01:42:39.000The WikiLeaks have shown us that they've deployed the entire State Department apparatus, which we already knew, but this kind of showed their actual tactics, where, for example, the ambassador to France asked his handlers in the US to issue a retaliation list against countries in Europe that have been resistant to GMOs.
01:43:02.000Now, we know that when I was in Zambia talking to some Jesuit priests there that were involved in the Zambian decision to reject genetically modified corn from the United States, they told me that Colin Powell had tried to intervene in the Vatican to try and censure the Jesuit priests.
01:43:22.000I talked to one secretary, a former secretary, or the minister of agriculture there.
01:43:28.000He said when he went to shake Ann Veneman's hand, who was the secretary of agriculture in the U.S., she refused to shake his hand when she heard that he was from Zambia who had rejected our GM corn and just said, backward country and walked away.
01:43:45.000Can you give us a quick rundown of what you saw there on the streets about the farmers committing suicide after experiencing massive crop failures due to the GMO crops there?
01:43:59.000Well, it turns out an investigative report by UK Daily Mail estimated in 2008 that 125,000 farmers who planted genetically modified DT cotton committed suicide because their yields were not sufficient to pay back their high-interest loans.
01:44:16.000My friend Vandana Shiva puts that number now closer to 250,000 farmers.
01:44:23.000And she commissioned a group that actually went door-to-door to 100 homes where suicides had taken place in a cotton belt and found that about 95 out of the 100 were directly or indirectly related to the failure of BT Cotton.
01:44:37.000I'm sorry, but isn't the method of suicide usually... they drink pesticide?
01:44:45.000I just, in fact, read an article this week that they found an official from Monsanto was visiting a town, so they brought him to an area showing that half of the seeds did not even sprout or germinate, and when he refused to acknowledge any fault, they beat him up.
01:45:05.000Other seed salesmen like a Monsanto salesman was kidnapped and tied up until he was released by the police.
01:45:11.000You know, the farmers obviously, they're ruining their lives, they're ruining their communities.
01:45:16.000And not only that, but I went to one village where they allowed their buffalo to graze on cotton plants after harvest for eight years, but when they allowed them to graze on GM, genetically modified cotton plants, All 13 buffalo died after a single day's eating.
01:45:33.000And this was emblematic and illustrative of what's happening around the cotton belt.
01:45:37.000Sheep, goats, some cows, and buffalo are dying or having serious diseases or disorders after consuming genetically modified BT cotton plants or cottonseed cakes.
01:45:54.000Mainline media almost never reports what's going on with the suicides of the farmers, with the dead animals, with the devastating crop yields.
01:46:02.000We're all told that GMOs increase crop yields, that this is the way to abundance, this is how we're going to feed the world.
01:46:10.000Why are we all being lied to so consistently?
01:46:12.000Why can't we break through that with some honest information?
01:46:25.000Well, you know, fortunately, because this is an issue where people can respond to GMOs by not buying them, we don't need to have 51% of Americans reject GM ingredients in order for Kraft Food to say, well, we've lost half of our market share, it's time to switch.
01:46:42.000shoppers were ready to avoid GMOs, like we think about 5% or 15 million Americans, because there's no consumer benefits to GMOs, they either drink poison like herbicides or produce poison like pesticides, Then, when we see that many people rejecting GM brands, it will drop the market share of the same companies that have already removed GMOs from their European and Japanese lines, because there, the tipping point has been achieved.
01:47:07.000We already saw a tipping point against bovine growth hormone in this country, where most American dairies, including Walmart, Starbucks, Yoplait, and Dannon, have removed it.
01:47:16.000So, our plan is to go to the most receptive groups, and to use groups like Natural News, which has been fantastic in presenting this information.
01:47:24.000information to very receptive people so that people not only understand the dangers but realize that there's alternatives which they can buy non-gmo products very easily and we have non-gmo shopping guide.com to help people make healthier non-gmo choices and drive the tipping point yeah That's a really good shopping guide.
01:47:45.000But doesn't this depend, Jeffrey, on honest labeling?
01:47:49.000And we have the FDA and the USDA just completely against accurate labeling of foods.
01:47:56.000They do not want people to know that there are GMOs in their foods.
01:47:59.000They're fighting this labeling tooth and nail and the biotech industry as well, saying that, oh, if it's labeled on there, that might confuse people.
01:48:09.000I mean, isn't the labeling the real key issue here?
01:48:13.000Well, I think labeling, obviously, if things were labeled, it would wipe out GMOs from the food supply because 53% of Americans say they wouldn't eat GMOs if they were labeled, and the FDA is officially mandated with promoting the biotechnology industry, so they ignore the desire of 95% of Americans who want mandatory labeling to promote the economic interests of five biotech companies.
01:48:38.000We don't absolutely need labeling in order to create a tipping point.
01:48:43.000Because if people... We now have thousands of products that are enrolled in this new non-GMO project, which is a third-party verifier for non-GMO claims.
01:48:53.000There's already 1,200 products that have been verified.
01:48:56.000Many of them bear the seal, non-GMO project verified.
01:48:59.000If we can drive the health-conscious shoppers, the parents of young kids, The people who are sick, the doctors, if we can drive the most receptive demographics who are aware of these problems to choose products that are labeled non-GMO, to choose products that are organic, to choose products that don't have the at-risk ingredients from the AGM food crops, that would be enough, even without labeling.
01:49:24.000And again, for those listening or watching, this is just crucial.
01:49:28.000If you're eating GMOs, I believe that you are subjecting yourself to a risk of poisoning through your food.
01:49:34.000And I know Jeffrey completely agrees with that.
01:49:38.000Believe it or not, Jeffrey, we're just about out of time for your segment.
01:49:40.000Do you have any final thoughts before we wrap this up?
01:49:42.000Yes, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine now urges all doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets to every patient.
01:49:49.000They actually indicate that animal feeding studies show reproductive problems, digestive problems, immune system problems, accelerated aging, etc.
01:49:58.000It's not enough to simply Be against GMOs and be against Monsanto and be against the government.
01:50:04.000We have to be empowered to make healthier choices ourselves.
01:50:08.000We have to say it's going to be us that decides what we put in our mouths and not the biotech industry or their enforcement wing in Washington.
01:50:15.000And so I encourage people to learn more about the dangers of GMOs and to take those steps to protect themselves and if they have extra energy to protect the community by sharing the information.

01:54:19.000Man, we've been breaking down the issues today.
01:54:21.000Just finished up a segment with Jeffrey Smith on GMOs.
01:54:24.000Get ready for genetically modified lawns coming to a neighborhood near you where people are spraying Roundup all over your neighborhood and the children's playgrounds.
01:55:26.000is doing right now with its debt system, failing the people, failing everybody, but getting a AAA rating.
01:55:32.000And it's being threatened with, oh, we're going to turn it down a notch if you don't reach a debt ceiling increase, which would only make the problem even worse.
01:55:42.000No wonder gold prices are going so high.
01:56:02.000level we've seen fifteen ninety four seventy today silver reaching just about forty dollars an ounce thirty nine forty seven and uh... like you said moody's downgrading the united states treasuries I mean, the only reason why the United States Treasuries had value in the past is because the currency was exchangeable for gold all the way through 1971.
01:56:25.000And we've been living on this legacy of being the world power currency.
01:56:29.000And now they're saying, hey, if we don't go further into debt so we can make our past due debt payments, that they're going to downgrade our AAA rating.
01:56:38.000I mean, Moody's is a bond house, and they do rate bonds.
01:56:42.000And what they're saying is that there's a chance that things might be defaulting, which you would think that Moody's would also make the assessment that, hey, if you have to go into debt further just in order to pay the past due interest and principal, then you have a problem with it.
01:57:35.000I can tell you we had a run here this spring, and for me to try to buy the kind of quantity of gold and silver, mostly silver, eagles to be specific, you know, I mean I was trying to buy silver eagles at, you know,
01:57:50.000Ted at a at a hundred thousand ounces at a time and I'd be lucky to buy be able to buy twenty to forty thousand from various different places it was just dried up there the US men can't make enough to meet the demand and if you just get the common person back into gold and silver there just isn't going to be enough Ted, I'm sorry.
01:58:10.000I want to hold you over for the next segment and I've got a couple of questions for you.
01:58:13.000I want to give you more time here, too.
01:58:14.000I apologize for interrupting you, but we've got to go to a break here real quick.
02:00:13.000He's Alex Jones on the GCN Radio Network.
02:00:17.000And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
02:00:23.000Welcome back, listeners, ladies and gentlemen.
02:00:25.000Thank you again for joining us today and staying with us.
02:00:28.000I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, filling in for Alex today.
02:00:31.000I feel like I'm just getting warmed up after a couple hours here.
02:00:34.000The issues are getting me all riled up here.
02:00:36.000GMOs, the debt ceiling limit, skyrocketing gold prices.
02:00:41.000In fact, I've got to read you this from Market Watch.
02:00:44.000The Fed is saying that now they're interested in another round of quantitative easing, which just means flooding more useless Fiat currency into the money supply, devaluing the dollars that you're holding right now and the dollars that you're getting in your checks, whatever kind of checks you're getting, retirement, social security, veterans benefits, those are going to become increasingly worthless in the days, months, and years ahead, thanks to the actions of our own federal government.
02:01:10.000Now, insurance against that is, of course, found in precious metals.
02:01:15.000And continuing with Ted Anderson, we are talking about why precious metals Makes sense, especially with today's debt ceiling crisis now upon us.
02:01:24.000Ted, sorry to cut you off before the break there.
02:01:27.000Yeah, no, just the thing is, everybody knows that gold and silver's been money for thousands of years.
02:02:04.000is proposing that we let Barack Obama decide where the debt ceiling is going to go.
02:02:09.000It's just going to become a presidential order.
02:02:11.000Alex has been talking about dictatorship for I don't know how long now, and this is exactly the kind of thing.
02:02:17.000You give the president the power to coin the currency and decide how much is going to go into the system, he can destroy the economy or he can accelerate the economy at his own whim, and he'll have control.
02:02:34.000Yeah, I've never seen it get this crazy, and this is why getting squared away right now with gold and silver makes so much sense.
02:02:40.000Ted, you are legendary for helping people get their hands on some of these precious metals at prices that are like going back in a time machine.
02:02:49.000What do you have available right now for the listeners?
02:02:52.000Well, right now, presently, I mean, we do have a list of, we have some Mexican pesos, we have some gold Coronas, and there's some things like that that I have on my list that the market is, you know, not in, we haven't increased our prices, but the market's gone up like crazy.
02:03:08.000But one of the most, Alex had me put together this American Dream video, and Mark Dice's book, and two silver dollars for $75 delivered.
02:03:17.000I can tell you right now, Just to buy the silver dollars alone directly from Midas or any other company for that matter is going to be over 80 bucks just to get the silver dollars.
02:03:27.000You get the books and the videos for free for $75 delivered.
02:03:31.000That's probably where you want to get started and then you can ask about the gold and silver.
02:03:35.000Because right now, at this time, the markets are just crumbling as we're looking at them, and then gold and silver's going up through the roof.
02:03:42.000If you watch Ron Paul confronting Ben Bernanke, you can see that Bernanke's just tripping all over his tongue, and Ron Paul's just dead on right.
02:03:50.000And people need to have gold and silver.
02:03:53.000They need to have these silver dollars, because if you're sitting with Money in the bank, money in the stock market, you name it, all that stuff is just literally eroding and erasing the value where the gold and silver is just going up in tandem.
02:04:10.000Ask for the Silver Dollar Special with the American Dream.
02:04:12.000twenty two thirty seven again one eight hundred six eight six twenty two thirty seven as for the silver dollar special with the american dream and if you're looking at doing something more i mean i just yesterday i said people should be getting into the twenty dollar They're trading at about $900.
02:04:29.000They just jumped over $1,000 for the $10 gold pieces, and the $20 is just over $2,000.
02:04:34.000That's what's going on in this market right now.
02:04:38.000People need to get motivated, and I mean now.
02:08:35.000At the bottom of the hour, we're going to be joined by Health Freedom Attorney, Jonathan E. Mord.
02:08:41.000The author of The Rise of Tyranny, a great book, talks about how regulatory agencies get out of control and make their own laws without congressional approval.
02:08:49.000That's coming up at the bottom of the hour.
02:08:51.000And in this segment, we are joined by Aaron Dykes, right here from the InfoWars team.
02:08:55.000A great analyst, a great reporter, researcher, who's going to be breaking down for us some additional information about how corporations are all tied into the same core power structures.
02:09:07.000Also, we will cover the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
02:09:33.000So what I wanted to talk about today is obviously there's concerns for decades now about GMO crops, what they're doing with Big Pharma, but I just want to point out that this is bigger than Big Pharma, bigger than just Big Agri.
02:09:47.000These are systems that are corporately locked in with the people we've been talking about for most of the past month, the Bilderberg Group, Very important ties in the government.
02:09:57.000Of course, it's pretty well known by this point, Michael Taylor, currently the Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the FDA, was formerly a Monsanto lawyer, and I think a member of their corporate structure as well.
02:10:10.000And I just stumbled upon this earlier today, after we already were going to talk about this.
02:10:14.000Michael Taylor reappointment to the FDA in July of 2009 came just after Obama and the other G8 leaders pledged $20 billion to fight hunger in Africa over the next three years.
02:10:26.000And fighting hunger is always done with genetically modified foods.
02:10:30.000Yeah, they talked about how Obama, the first black president, may be the only one who could bomb Africa, bomb Libya, carry out these wars.
02:10:38.000Maybe he's the only one who can carry out genocidal policies in Africa as well.
02:10:45.000I'm saying that sarcastically, of course, but what you're doing here, what's really cool about your research is you're helping people open up to the bigger picture and tying into the overlay of corporate control because a lot of people, for example, a lot of my readers, Say, their concern might end with Big Pharma.
02:11:03.000It's always Big Pharma, or it's always FDA.
02:11:05.000But you're saying, wait a minute, the people who are key decision makers in Big Pharma and in the FDA, they actually go up higher, and they're part of a whole different corporate web of control that goes way outside the pharmaceutical industry.
02:13:43.000Pre-announcing the false flag intention.
02:13:46.000So we've got this Monsanto guy who's tied to defense who, yeah, pre-announced that we need another 9-11 or Oklahoma City bombing to save Obama's approval ratings.
02:13:55.000But he has ties to the Bush administration as well, so he's a non-partisan.
02:13:59.000So what you're describing really is a big good old boys club with all these different companies that are all tied in, and these are the kinds of companies that get the Obamacare waivers, of course, from Washington, right?
02:14:09.000They don't have to play by the same rules that everybody else plays by.
02:14:27.000Coca-Cola is still allowed to import coca leaves.
02:14:30.000The only corporation in the United States allowed to import coca leaves from which cocaine is still extracted and sold off to a company in St.
02:14:38.000I did research on this, so I know that.
02:15:10.000The reports from Global Research pointing out how the Green Revolution of the 70s in the third world was really, in large part, a Rockefeller Foundation ploy for dominance in the biotech industry.
02:15:23.000Now it's gotten even worse because they're going to have exclusive water-efficient maize for Africa, climate-ready crops, these genetically engineered things that are meant to deal with drought conditions for Africa, supposedly, to feed the world.
02:15:40.000But then we have all the problems with GMO.
02:15:42.000It causes, according to these studies with lab rats, cancer and sterility.
02:15:51.000And you look at the Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pushing vaccines, studying infertility technologies like the ultrasound that they use on men's reproductive organs and it gives them infertility for six months.
02:16:13.000It's infertility that's being exported into Africa.
02:16:17.000Yeah, real strange since they called for depopulation in the 70s.
02:16:21.000Kissinger, when he was Secretary of State, issued the NSM 200 memo saying it was the first priority in the third world.
02:16:29.000And he listed specific countries and said that Basically, the agreements would even be to the point that a global institution would withhold food from countries that did not reduce their population in order to, through a blackmail threat, reduce the population forcibly by withholding world aggregated food.
02:16:47.000But let's go back to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
02:16:50.000Who are teamed up with BASF, who are teamed up with Monsanto, Syngenta, which is a Swiss GMO company, which also attends Bilderberg each year, Bayer, Dow, they're all in this article from Truthout, but then you have Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, part of the Global Seed Vault in the North, preserving the things that aren't genetically modified, and you have Bill Gates saying he wants to control the weather, he wants to steer hurricanes.
02:17:14.000Wait, I wasn't aware of that, is that a new...
02:17:17.000It's about a year old, but he's also part of this climate geoengineering project, and they claim they're gonna take a target, you know, potentially like New Orleans in a Hurricane Katrina scenario, and for a fee he can kindly steer that hurricane away.
02:17:33.000But, you know, it's very hard to prove when weather's manipulated, certainly at this point.
02:17:37.000We have critics and observers always blaming these globalists for doing these things, but the tangible proof is harder to come by.
02:17:44.000Then you have these drought conditions in Africa, somewhere in Asia, and they're going to supply these water-efficient crops that are genetically modified that they have a total monopoly on, and where there's corporate infrastructure locked in.
02:17:57.000Do you think in some way that Africa is sort of a test case?
02:18:01.000Or maybe this is the place where they try out different technologies to see if they're going to work on depopulation elements in Africa.
02:18:12.000And then if that works, they're going to bring them more aggressively to North America?
02:18:17.000I mean, is there any hint that it's a testing ground?
02:18:21.000I think we've already seen the kind of parallel, you know, we got the overfed world and the West with its own problems of eating all this junk food and the health problems, the diabetes, etc.
02:18:33.000Hey, that's another thing I saw on your website last week, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation being promoted by these soda companies and fast food companies.
02:19:07.000A giant, like a big gulp-sized container of soda, and they'll donate a little bit of money for diabetes research to the juvenile diabetes group.
02:20:02.000Can functional magnetic resonance imaging be used to read our minds?
02:20:06.000Author Jose Calazo answers yes in his two new books, America's New Slavery.
02:20:12.000For more than 13 years, author Jose Calazo has been trying to prove that the U.S.
02:20:17.000government has the capacity to read a person's thoughts with a revolutionary technology Known as FMRI, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and there is proof that it exists.
02:20:29.000America's New Slavery explores this technology and its many possible applications in national security.

02:22:57.000Hey, Brian, if you could do just one thing today to ensure your family's food security, what would it be?
02:24:29.000This is where they put genes into the crops, tobacco plants, rice plants, corn plants, whatever the case may be, so that they can then grow drugs.
02:24:38.000Yes, they grow drugs and they grow vaccines right in the crops and then they harvest those and pull the drugs out and then feed them to people or inject them.
02:24:46.000This is one of the most outrageously dangerous acts of violation of God and nature that we've ever witnessed on planet Earth.
02:25:05.000They obviously have something planned because, as I said before, Big Agra and Big GMO are teamed up with the bigger boys, the Rockefeller and Bill Gates Foundations, where all the elite money is steered.
02:25:17.000So why are they running doomsday seed vaults while creating drought conditions and supplying the ready-made solution of drought?
02:25:27.000We can only speculate, but we know that depopulation is part of their overall agenda, and which little subsectors directly relate to that?
02:28:07.000And these Fortune 100 and 500 companies, even if they do have somewhat beneficial separate identities, are all linked in with these big foundations.
02:28:15.000You can see here on the Bill and Melinda Gates, you've got Coca-Cola, Kraft, everything major going on.
02:28:31.000Let me just invite the listeners to give you a little preview of what's coming up after the break.
02:28:37.000We are going to be talking with health freedom attorney Jonathan Emord.
02:28:41.000And Jonathan is, of course, one of the best attorneys, probably the only attorney who's ever defeated the FDA multiple times in court over food freedom and nutritional supplements issues.
02:28:52.000He's going to be breaking down for us the latest news On why the FDA is going after virtually all our nutritional supplements that were formulated after 1994.

02:33:29.000I've been hanging out near Austin recently too.
02:33:31.000In fact, I'm living right now on a ranch outside of Austin and learning some organic farming and gardening techniques from all the wonderful organic farmers.
02:34:12.000Now joining us today to talk more about food freedom and food regulations, dietary supplements, and the labeling bill that's now being pushed through Congress is Health Freedom Attorney Jonathan Emord.
02:34:26.000Jonathan Immort is just really one of the top thinkers, speakers, writers, analyzers in the world on issues of health, freedom, dietary supplement, regulation, other topics.
02:34:39.000He's even written a book called The Rise of Tyranny, which explains how the FDA and the USDA and other government agencies get out of control.
02:35:24.000I really appreciate your writing and your leadership on this issue.
02:35:27.000Now let's start with the new dietary ingredients requirements that the FDA is threatening to burden us with all across the country to question or let's say require a new sort of approval of all ingredients that were introduced into dietary supplements since 1994.
02:35:47.000Can you break down that issue for us Jonathan?
02:35:49.000This is a horrendous expansion of federal power out of the bureaucracy with the full blessing of the Congress of the United States principally those people like Dick Durbin who sponsored these measures I really, really detest individual liberty.
02:36:07.000He loves the government, hates individual liberty, and has proven that point over and over again by favoring measures that deprive people of liberty and have the government basically determine what's in your own best interest rather than allowing you to, which is the ultimate in destruction of individual liberty.
02:36:26.000But for decades, you know, Mike, The FDA has repeatedly tried to either reclassify dietary supplements as unsafe food additives, put a limit on the quantitative amount of ingredients that say anything above the RDA level, makes it a drug, or otherwise restrict the availability of supplements in the market.
02:36:47.000And those have come up against significant public opposition.
02:36:51.000But the lessons learned from those battles by the agency did not result in them changing their interest in removing supplements from the market, but changing their tactics.
02:37:03.000So now they go after supplements under the guise of food safety or health safety.
02:37:09.000And they're doing the same with organic food producers.
02:37:12.000Essentially, the government of the United States, and principally the Food and Drug Administration, is a captive of leading industry.
02:37:21.000In the case of the FDA, it's a patsy for the drug industry.
02:37:25.000In fact, the FDA Associate Director of the Office of Drug Safety, David Graham, has said that the FDA views the drug industry as its client and will approve as many drugs as it possibly can.
02:37:39.000In order to placate the interests, the financial interests of that industry.
02:37:44.000And so we have many unsafe drugs that have been approved into the market.
02:37:48.000Yet on the other side, where people can take control of their own health through organic foods and through dietary supplements, the FDA has gone after those things with a vengeance.
02:37:59.000But here's what's happening legislatively and at the FDA with this new emphasis on quote-unquote, safety.
02:38:08.000The Food Safety Modernization Act, which Dick Durbin principally promoted, a liberal democratic senator from Illinois.
02:38:16.000And this is the act that passed in December of last year.
02:38:20.000Exactly, and it is now being implemented by FDA.
02:38:23.000And what FDA is doing is using its new power and new army of agents.
02:38:30.000The bill will enable, in the next several years, the FDA to have some 20,000 new inspectors.
02:38:37.000And its aim, this bill requires every food producer to be registered with the federal government for the first time in American history.
02:38:46.000And by every food producer, I mean everyone.
02:38:49.000I'm talking about The organic food farmer who gets his food to the market, he's going to have to register with the FDA.
02:38:57.000The farm that you're on right now, Mike, the owner of that farm is going to have to register with the FDA.
02:39:04.000And in addition to registering with the FDA, he's going to have to be inspected by federal agents.
02:39:10.000And they, if they find anything remiss, even if the products are perfectly safe, if they find anything remiss on his farm, They can do a re-inspection and charge him the cost of the inspection.
02:39:23.000estimates that they will raise $100 million, that's a conservative estimate, in the first year of implementation of this.
02:39:31.000Just to be clear here, Jonathan, the issue here is that even small farms, we're talking about small local farms, people who are selling food at your local farmers market, they are going to be in a government database as a food producer and they are going to have to They're still going to have to register.
02:39:51.000They're still going to have to be under FDA scrutiny.
02:39:53.000Every food producer is under FDA scrutiny right now.
02:39:54.000food safety debate, they said these small farmers are going to be exempt.
02:40:02.000They still have to be in the FDA's database and abide by many regulations.
02:40:05.000They're still going to have to register.
02:40:07.000They're still going to have to be under FDA scrutiny.
02:40:10.000Every food producer is under FDA scrutiny right now.
02:40:13.000The difference is that this bill puts into the FDA's power base an enormous army of inspectors and a requirement, a set of requirements that force these outfits to register with the federal government for the first time.
02:40:29.000And that's the big thing here is not, this is not a food safety bill.
02:40:35.000This is a federal government control bill.
02:40:38.000This bill is designed to take away from the local health and safety people who are responsible for ensuring the integrity of the local food market.
02:40:47.000The power to make ultimate determinations and giving that to the Centralized Food and Drug Administration, which has an axe to grind.
02:40:54.000It's lobbied heavily by the major food producers, lobbied heavily by the drug industry.
02:40:59.000When it comes to these small producers, they have significantly created an economic threat to the market share of large food producers who are not organic.
02:41:22.000They're not going to hire more people.
02:41:23.000They're going to essentially start shutting down their food operations because they can't deal with the paperwork burden.
02:41:29.000So this is going to drive small local farmers out of business.
02:41:32.000And as you're explaining, that's the entire point of the thing.
02:41:35.000Now, if this weren't bad enough, then you've got Dick Durbin, who just introduced.
02:41:40.000This is the liberal senator from Illinois.
02:41:43.000This fellow has absolutely nothing in common with the founding fathers of the United States.
02:41:48.000In fact, every principle the founding fathers believed in fundamentally, he opposes to his very core.
02:41:55.000And so it's not surprising that he is aggressively advocating federal government takeover of various market sectors and massive increases in federal spending and in regulation.
02:42:07.000And he just introduced a bill called the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act.
02:42:13.000Now this bill will require every dietary supplement company to register with the Food and Drug Administration, but also will require them to turn over to the Food and Drug Administration a list of every ingredient and every product that they make, as well as every label for every product they make, and all advertising and promotional material.
02:42:33.000What the FDA Commissioner will then do with that is evaluate it and determine whether there's any possibility of risk that could arise from the products.
02:42:43.000Now, of course, every product ingredient in the world, even water, will at some dose level create a risk.
02:42:50.000Therefore, at the discretion of the FDA Commissioner, she can remove from the market or order you to stop selling any product.
02:43:18.000You can be hauled into a kangaroo court and face a non-legal trial, just a trumped-up trial from the same people who accused you based on their opinion saying that one of your ingredients may have some kind of health risks that isn't even proven, right?
02:43:35.000And in addition, just like the forfeiture laws, The law here, the Food Safety Modernization Act, allows the FDA to summarily take away your registration, suspend your registration, so you don't have the right to sell anything.
02:43:53.000While the agency proceeds with the administrative process.
02:43:57.000So they take away all your resources, your funding, while they try you in the administrative court.
02:44:07.000So you're effectively guilty until proven innocent because they are taking away your ability to earn a living while they try you.
02:44:16.000Jonathan, what is the reaction to this?
02:44:20.000I mean, this is one of the key questions I wanted to ask you today.
02:44:23.000Is the dietary supplements industry pulling together in some way?
02:44:28.000I mean, I already heard from Bill Falloon at the Life Extension Foundation.
02:44:32.000He's interested in taking action on this.
02:44:34.000Some others, I don't want to mention their names, have talked to me about possible actions.
02:44:38.000What are you hearing as the Health Freedom Attorney in the U.S.
02:44:42.000of organization to help combat these NDI regulations, for example?
02:44:47.000You know, this is a tragedy that I explained in The Rise of Tyranny and also in Global Censorship of Health Information.
02:44:54.000This is a great tragedy because you see, the dietary supplement market as the yeoman farmers in the organic market are today, Was a very vibrant, independent, you would say libertarian, group of people who were anti-government and very much in favor of self-help and achieving things through hard work and honest living.
02:45:19.000People that the Founding Fathers would have adored.
02:45:21.000And that industry's leaders went to the FDA with a thing called the Good Manufacturing Practice Guidelines, and they argued to the industry that You've got to work with the FDA.
02:45:36.000You have to allow the FDA to regulate our industry more, because if you don't, they view us with this hostile regard, and unless we befriend them and show them that we're good actors and that we make good products, they're going to attack us.
02:45:50.000And so, they went in with this idiotic conception that if you allow the FDA to regulate products by your own agreement, from the creation of them until they reach the market, Exactly.
02:46:04.000process controls over every aspect of production, that the agency will like you.
02:46:10.000What has happened is they miscalculated their lobbying power.
02:46:13.000- Exactly. - And what they did is give the drug industry the ability to destroy the supplement industry and the FDA the legal authority to come in and act as the proxy of the drug industry.
02:46:24.000They miscalculated their lobbying power.
02:46:29.000- They said, okay, let's befriend the FDA, let's play nice and then they'll treat us nice.
02:46:34.000But the FDA turned out... After years of telling the industry that this was a mistake and arguing at the outset that this is horrendous, you shouldn't do this, I've now had the word back from folks telling me, hey, we didn't realize it would go this way.
02:47:28.000And what's really tragic about this, when you take into account the FDA's recent proposal for guidance for new dietary ingredients, is that they're squeezing the supplement industry from every angle.
02:47:42.000You've got increased costs on the order of approximately $150,000 a year for the average supplement company, and the average supplement company only makes profits of about $100,000 at most a year.
02:47:53.000So you've got $150,000 of regulatory costs from GMP enforcement.
02:47:53.000So you've got $150,000 of regulatory costs from GMP enforcement.
02:47:58.000You've got to top that the new Food Safety Modernization Act, which requires registration, additional legal fees for that, and inspections and require you to pay for the cost of the inspection.
02:47:58.000You've got atop that the new Food Safety Modernization Act, which requires registration, additional legal fees for that, and inspections that require you to pay for the cost of the inspection.
02:48:09.000Atop that, you have this new movement by Durbin to make every supplement company register.
02:48:14.000So you've got costs upon cost upon cost, risks that are higher, and this adds to what?
02:48:23.000You have to pass it on to the consumers.
02:48:25.000It limits the variety of products in the marketplace so consumers have fewer options.
02:48:32.000It increases unemployment in a sector that is the quintessential medium to small business sector that is responsible for the growth of the economy.
02:48:49.000I mean, we are in an economic time right now where jobs are scarce, where industries are leaving America, and we have an abundant natural health supplement industry that's contributing tens of billions of dollars to the economy, and now this industry is under threat of being essentially crushed, or a large part of it, based on these regulations.
02:49:09.000It's almost as if they're literally just trying to destroy our economy and our health Well, for those who want the end to be that the government, the parasite that is government, suck the life's blood out of everything that is private, that pays the bills for the government, they'll achieve a collapse of the private sector at this rate.
02:49:31.000Now, they're going to find the hard reality of destroying the private sector is self-destruction for the parasite, but that's a way off.
02:49:39.000In the interim, they're going to seize as much power as they can.
02:49:43.000This is the method by which he hopes, and several in the administration, he's the fellow senator with Obama from Illinois, This is their goal.
02:49:53.000Their goal is to make the private sector function only in the way they plan, and to eliminate freedom to the extent that it works for something they either disagree with or don't understand.
02:50:04.000In the case of the supplement market, Durbin has a very shallow understanding of nutrition, and he thinks that it's all filled with a bunch of quackpots, and the people who use supplements have got to be out of their minds.
02:50:18.000I tell you I wouldn't I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for nutritional supplements and I certainly wouldn't be able to be here doing doing this show filling in for Alex if it wasn't for supplements.
02:51:26.000And because they're sealed so well, they come with a 25-year shelf life.
02:51:30.000Combine our Berkey water filters, which are powerful enough to purify treated, untreated, or even stagnant pond water with our storable foods, and you have a winning combination.

02:52:56.000Will I have garlic breath after I take Ali-C?
02:53:03.000We get that question all the time about the world's best garlic extract, Alley C. And the answer is, Alley C contains stabilized allicin, nature's antimicrobial agent, and the active ingredient in crushed garlic, but will not give you garlic breath.
02:53:16.000Scientifically proven in double-blind studies, using low doses of allicin greatly reduces the number, severity, and duration of common colds.
02:53:24.000Our powerful Ali-C contains 300 milligrams of stabilized allicin.
02:53:28.000Just one tablet of Ali-C is equivalent to 40 garlic cloves.
02:53:32.000It's effective against asthma, MRSA, bacterial fungal, and viral infections, and helps lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

02:54:19.000And in this segment, we are joined by Health Freedom attorney, Jonathan Emord.
02:54:24.000He's been breaking down the situation with us on the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act, the FDA's new regulations to try to approve or deny any supplement ingredients that have been introduced since 1994.
02:54:38.000As well as additional information on the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act, which really should be called, Throw the Farmers Back to the Stone Age Act, because that's what it's really doing.
02:54:49.000Jonathan, are you still with us on the phone?
02:54:55.000I gotta ask you, what hope do we have as freedom-loving individuals to take back control over our food, over our medicine, to have health, freedom, and First Amendment rights for our dietary supplements?
02:55:09.000What can we do to win this fight against tyranny?
02:55:13.000Well, in my book, The Rise of Tyranny, I explain the way back to liberty at the end of the book, and I explain this whole problem.
02:55:21.000We started with a country that was a republic, a constitutional republic, the most brilliant construction in the history of mankind.
02:56:06.000And the solution to the problem lies in reversing that.
02:56:09.000And there is legislation that I've written for Ron Paul that would do that very thing.
02:56:14.000And there's also legislation on these health issues that would get the FDA out of this business of second-guessing consumers and their right to determine what is in their own best interest.
02:56:25.000Real quickly, how can people stay in touch with you?
02:56:28.000Do you have an email newsletter or something?
02:56:39.000All right, and I hope you have, I hope your email list is growing.
02:56:42.000And folks, if you want to be part of this, go to emore.com, stay tuned in with what Jonathan is doing.
02:56:47.000Jonathan could be the guy who can legislate our way to freedom.
02:56:51.000I mean, to author the legislation that gets passed as a pathway to our freedom.
02:56:57.000And we're just about out of time here, Jonathan, so let me just thank you right now for coming on the show today and sharing your thoughts with us.
02:57:04.000You are just a beacon of truth and liberty out there.
02:57:07.000I really want to wish you an amazing year of achievements in fighting for our health freedom.
02:57:12.000Well, let's hope and pray that our liberty will be restored to us.
02:57:16.000We were born a free people, we should remain that way and we have to take back our liberty.
02:57:21.000We have to vote out of office the bad rascals.
02:57:25.000We second that here at the Alex Jones Show, and I'm sure all the listeners do as well.
02:57:31.000And folks, check out his website at emord.com and his book, The Rise of Tyranny, is really a great book.
02:57:36.000Now I just want to recap what we've covered here today very quickly so you get a big picture view of what we're talking about here.
02:57:44.000We talked to Julie Bass, remember, the gardener from Oak Park, Michigan, being threatened with jail time for her crime of growing organic vegetables in her own yard.
02:57:53.000And teaching her children how to grow seeds as well, because that's a crime.
02:57:56.000Well, you can't grow vegetable gardens in your front yard, but as Jeffrey Smith brought us in the second hour of today's show, you can soon plant genetically modified grass and spray your lawn with Roundup.
02:58:09.000Oh yes, we're going to have Roundup chemicals in neighborhoods all across America.
02:58:13.000We heard from Paul Joseph Watson, we heard from Aaron Dykes, and of course Jonathan Emore just in that segment right there.
