US bioweapons labs CONFIRMED as deep state sets stage for biowar false flag event to be blamed on Russia Thursday, March 10, 2022 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) Earlier this week, US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland publicly confirmed the presence of US-funded bioweapons laboratories in Ukraine. She even warned that Russia might seize the facilities and launch a biological weapons false flag attack on the world to blame America.

This is a direct confirmation that the US-funded labs contain dangerous biological weapons. Otherwise, why would Nuland be concerned if Russia seized the labs?

Nuland was being questioned by US Sen. Marco Rubio, a known RINO and war machine collaborator. It appears that Rubio and Nuland rehearsed this exchange and performed it for public consumption in order to set the stage for a US false flag bioweapons release that will be blamed on Russia.

What’s fascinating is that today, State Department spokesperson Ned Price publicly denied the existence of these biological weapons research facilities in Ukraine, claiming it was all part of a “Russian disinformation” campaign.

Is Ned Price saying that Victoria Nuland works for the Russians? Are we really to believe that the US has no biological weapons facilities at all? No one believes Ned Price. Not even the US Under Secretary of State.

The US built the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon and handed it to China

Never forget the US government — directed by Fauci and Collins — violated international treaties and built the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon via the US DoD and various universities (North Carolina / Baric, etc.). This bioweapon was then handed to China for gain-of-function enhancement, while in the USA, it was used to create depopulation “vaccines” modeled on the deadly spike protein.

The “plandemic” was then released upon the world via US and China deep state operatives, while the controlled media pushed a psychological terrorism campaign to drive people into masking, social distancing, lockdowns and domestic economic destruction. This was followed by strong coercion for “vaccine” injections which turned out to be mRNA gene therapy transhumanism jabs designed to exterminate billions of human beings.

This was all done by the United States and China, without any involvement from Russia, just for the record. So when the USA now points to Russia and screams, “War crimes!” it all seems incredibly absurd. Laughable.

The cover story for next next bioweapon / toxic nanoparticle dumping onto humanity?

Whether the bioweapons labs are actually producing self-replicating viruses or just really dangerous nanoparticles is almost irrelevant at this point. Either way, it’s now clear they plan to dump their bioweapons onto the populations of the world while blaming Putin for a bioweapons false flag operation. The release of this bioweapon / nanoparticle is probably imminent.

That means the globalists are really moving into what they hope will be the final phase of their extermination agenda, and it’s likely to be accompanied by a global financial reset, cyber warfare false flags and the complete suspension of elections and the Bill of Rights. This is the direction in which things are moving right now, and while there may still be time to stop the worst case scenario from being unleashed, there isn’t currently any convincing evidence that the “white hats” are in charge.

All we see on a daily basis is Joe Biden deliberately unleashing economic destruction on America while his handlers (Obama, etc.) are plunging the US into what they hope will be a nuclear exchange with Russia. Yes, they are death cultists and they are hoping to achieve a scenario where Russia nukes the United States into oblivion. This is the goal of Obama, Biden and the top Democrats who currently appear to be in charge of US “policy” if you can even call it that.

Today’s Situation Update podcast covers this in more detail, including some good news about why we can dismiss the psychological terrorism attempts by the complicit media and the “science” authorities (who are all fraudsters and liars, it turns out).

The bioweapons discussion starts at 36:40. The first 36 minutes contain a special discussion specifically directed to the audience, and most people won’t understanding what we’re talking about unless they are frequent listeners:

New Hampshire Advances Proposal to Dispense Ivermectin TrialSite Staff

In the ongoing drive to allow access to ivermectin in states, legislators in New Hampshire have introduced, and taken the first step, on a bill allowing pharmacists to dispense the “controversial” COVID-19 treatment without a physicians prescription.

The State House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee narrowly passed bill HB 1022 by a vote of 11-9. If the bill is passed by the New Hampshire legislature it will become law. According to the legislation a pharmacist may fill a request for the drug under a “standing order”. Supporters of the bill claimed the legislation will allow the medication to be dispensed by health care providers rather than patients buying, and using, the drug in its veterinary formula. “The committee’s endorsement of boosting access to ivermectin came over the criticism of Democrats on the committee. ‘I don’t think the legislature should be practicing medicine, which is basically what this is,’ said Rep. Gary Woods of Bow, a retired doctor and former president of the New Hampshire Medical Society.”

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has consistently referred to ivermectin as a “horse de wormer” and has recommended the medication not be used as a treatment for Covid-19.

Ivermectin Without a Prescription

Under the proposed New Hampshire law, COVID-19 sufferers who aren’t being treated by a doctor will be able to acquire what has in the past been termed a “wonder drug” due to the success in programs such as Mectizan.

“We still have patients who don’t know how to find the doctors who will write prescriptions for ivermectin,” said Rep. Leah Cushman, a nurse who represents Weare. “It’s safer than having to go to the farm store.”

In some ways the United States starts to resemble a developing nation when it comes to drug access. It’s one of the few rich nations that has large demand for ivermectin. Drug prescriptions raised from about 3,000 per week before the pandemic to nearly 90,000 during the pandemic. 

Ivermectin has been approved or authorized on an emergency and temporary basis in over 20 countries during the pandemic. In the U.S. because the FDA and various medical and pharmacy societies have decided to campaign against the drug’s use for COVID-19 few physicians nor pharmacies will write or fill a prescription. Consequently, accessing the drug for COVID-19 becomes ever more difficult.

Protection Against Mandates

The Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee also moved forward a proposal which would bar the state from enforcing any federal vaccine mandates. This could complicate services for the elderly. Nursing homes rely on millions of dollars in federal funding for Medicare. The committee also rejected a bill requiring children get a COVID-19 vaccine to attend public school.

The growing trend of states supporting use of ivermectin has national implications and is supported by several Republican state’s Attorneys General who’ve written legal opinion letters on the subject. But as one of the New Hampshire Republican state legislators said, “these were not just brought out of thin air. They are a response to what we feel is the overplaying of a hand by the medical system.”

A major change in the Congress during midterm elections could complicate matters even more.

Famotidine Shows Promise as Early Care COVID-19 Drug based on Published Study Results

TrialSite has chronicled the potential of famotidine since nearly the start of the pandemic. No other media has tracked as many famotidine studies, from the first breakthrough reported by Dr. Robert Malone to studies at Beloit Hospital, Wisconsin to earlier investigations led by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, New York State’s largest health system. Recently published in Gut, another study highlights the potential of famotidine.

In a study previously covered by TrialSite and now peer-reviewed and published, a New York-based study team involving both Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory contribute to further evidence showcasing the potential of famotidine as a treatment for COVID-19.

Led by Dr. Tobias Janowitz of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the double-blinded and placebo-controlled clinical trial indicates oral famotidine is both safe and well tolerated. Moreover, the study team, also including Dr. Christine Brennan, leading the way for Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, the research arm of Northwell Health, wrote that patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms, representing the great majority of cases, experience more rapid symptom resolution. The authors point out that famotidine induced earlier resolution of type-I interferon levels in COVID-19 patients.

Moderna Commits to LMICs & Open mRNA Platform: Generated Historical Profit Margins Thanks to Pandemic

mRNA-based biotech Moderna will commence vaccine development targeting 15 troubling pathogens by 2025 while making a gesture to health equity in declaring that the Cambridge, Massachusetts firm would wave patents associated with Spikevax, its COVID-19 vaccine for select low-and-moderate-income countries (LMICs). A review of Moderna’s recent financials in their annual report and forecasts reveal that out of $18+ billion in revenue, the company generates $13+ in profits—perhaps the highest net profit margin of any substantial biotech in history. The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted Moderna to the big time.

Also now opening its intellectual property for partners, Moderna introduces the mRNA Access program.

TrialSite provides a brief breakdown of Moderna’s moves associated with the publicly traded firm’s public health strategy.

What vaccines are in the current Moderna portfolio?

COVID-19, HIV, Nipah, and Zika.

What are some targets for the future?

The company Moderna focuses development efforts against pathogens identified as persistent global health threats, including HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, neglected tropical diseases, and the priority pathogens of WHO and CEPI.

What is ‘Disease X’ and why focus on this?

A placeholder name adopted by WHO in February 2018 on the global health agency’s shortlist of blueprint priority diseases, it represents a hypothetical pathogen that could trigger a future pandemic.

Important for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, was that the concept would encourage a focus on classes of viruses (such as coronaviruses) rather than mere individual strains (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), thus improving WHO’s ability to better mitigate risks of future pandemics. 

How many mRNA-based vaccines does Moderna commit to drive through clinical trials by 2025?

15—with an emphasis on targeting pathogens affecting LMICs.

What is Moderna pledging with its patents?

Moderna declared to demonstrate its commitment to the goals of supporting LMICs and global health equity. The company will update its pledge to never enforce its patents for COVID-19 vaccines against manufacturers in or for the 92 LMIC countries in the GAVI COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) provided that such produced vaccines are solely for use in the AMC 92 countries.

What is the mRNA Access program?

The company commits to open its preclinical manufacturing capabilities as well as research and development expertise to global partners. The company will invite research centers, such as universities, to capitalize on their mRNA platform and to develop mRNA-based vaccines and medicines targeting existing neglected diseases. This open access is based on the company’s Early Development Engine used to accelerate vaccine development to clinics.

This program affords scientists around the globe the opportunity to investigate novel vaccine designs against prototype viral families in preparation for the anticipated Disease X.

How can research partners learn more?  Check out here.

Melissa J. Moor, Chief Scientific Officer, Scientific Affairs provides a lecture on their mRNA platform. 

How are Moderna’s finances?

A lot better since the pandemic. With a $52+ billion market capitalization and a current stock price of 129.28 as of this writing, their 52-week high/low equals 117.34-497.49. The stock is toward its annual low now.  Thanks to the pandemic and heavy taxpayer-backed government funding, the company went from a money loser (like most biotech) to north of $18 billion in sales with profits over $13 billion. With $10.7 billion in the bank the company’s future looks bright, barring some unforeseen events or manifestation of material risk factors identified in their annual report (10-K). 

Florida to Become First State to Recommend Against COVID-19 Vaccination for Healthy Children TrialSite Staff March 10, 2022

COVID-19 controversy swirled about the mass media and internet with the recent indication by Florida’s surgeon general, Joseph Ladapo, that healthy children need not receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Breaking with the advisory of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which pushes for universal vaccination for all people aged five years and above, Ladapo points out that if kids have already been infected by SARS-CoV-2 and are healthy the risk-benefit profile weighs in favor of avoiding the vaccine. The doctor raises the point of natural immunity which is factored in by health authorities in Europe but not in the United States. In a highly charged and politicized environment, neither side (pro or con) elaborates on the importance of the risk-benefit analysis relevant for any decision to vaccinate children against COVID-19.

The Florida surgeon general made the statement earlier this week at an event titled “The Curtain Close on COVID Theatre.” The event title related to another press event the week before where Gov. Ron DeSantis snapped at some kids standing behind him for wearing masks and participating in what he has labeled “COVID theatre.” 

At the most recent event, DeSantis stated, “Over the past two months, the data has shown us what works and what doesn’t work. It is long past time to stop the COVID Theater.”

Ladapo emphasized toward the conclusion “The Florida Department of Health is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children.”

Media goes on the Offensive

Now, Surgeon General Ladapo is under big-time attack for announcing there isn’t a need for vaccination for children aged five and above, as reported by many media outlets including the Miami Herald.

The first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines, the move by Dr. Ladapo got the attention of the White House. As reported by The Hill, White House Press secretary Jen Psaki  was asked about the policy and called the Florida decision “deeply disturbing.” CNN went on the attack: Jake Tapper interviewed Dr. Chris Pernell, who positions herself on her website as an “apostle” of public health, declared “That anti-science propaganda really is deadly and you know that any COVID infection can lead to long COVID, and so long as that is true we need to be doing what is in our best interest to prevent all COVID infections.”

Laura Ingraham of Fox News interviewed Dr Ladapo with Ingraham first inserting that the vaccine doesn’t necessarily stop viral transmission. Ladapo declared, “The media has been hysterical about our announcement, and the argument that you hear is that ‘well you know the vaccines, the COVID vaccines in children reduce the risk of hospitalization.’” 

The physician, previously at University of California, Los Angeles, continued, “We are not denying that…that’s not the point that we are discussing.”  He continued, “The question that really should be asked—it’s not about whether the vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization, but the question is about whether it’s the right decision for the patient in front of you.”  

Florida’s top doctor went on to emphasize the need for data that the other side of the argument doesn’t raise such as the impact of natural immunity and the importance of the associated risk-benefit analysis declaring, “a lot of if not most of the children based on CDC data have already had COVID-19. Do any data indicate that children that have already had COVID-19 who are healthy have any clinical benefit from the COVID-19 vaccine?”  Ingraham quickly cut in declaring “No!”

It is true that the COVID vaccines don’t necessarily stop viral transmission, and of course, the Omicron variant of concern, now a dominant mutation, emerged as a more evasive variant against the Pfizer vaccine. It’s also true that from a probability standpoint it’s extremely unlikely that children exposed to COVID will end up very ill.  However, the data around long COVID is another matter and wasn’t raised by Ladapo.

There is frankly little debate among the so-called experts in the mainstream media about the importance of risk-benefit analysis as applied to child COVID vaccination. The risks of COVID hospitalization and long COVID associated with healthy children must be understood on one side of the equation against the safety risks (young males face a substantially higher risk for myocarditis for example than others that are vaccinated) as well as what Ladapo points out is the science behind the clinical benefit for healthy young people.

But a healthy scientific debate is hard to find anywhere as the vaccine has become such a societal mission with any safety risks or other mitigating factors such as natural immunity simply ignored. Biomedical research and healthcare have become inherently politicized.

All Along the Watchtower Would the Russian invasion of Ukraine be justified if it were for biodefense? Robert W Malone MD, MS

"There must be some way out of here"

Said the joker to the thief

"There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Businessmen, they drink my wine

Plowmen dig my earth

None of them along the line

Know what any of it is worth"

Before I was de-platformed by Twitter for posting the famously accurate Canadian COVID Care Alliance video, before I was de-platformed by LinkedIn for the same reason, before the infamous Joe Rogan hit #1757 where I said the three little words “mass formation psychosis” that caused the Silicon Valley overlords to loose bladder control, many feared that I was “controlled opposition”.  And for good reason. 

I have spent most of my career deeply involved in the US Biodefense enterprise.  I have worked closely with biodefense research teams at USAMRIID, DTRA, and MIT Lincoln Lab. I was once a business partner with a retired CIA officer who was deeply involved in the DoD biodefense enterprise, and I have co-published with another.  I once worked for the Dynport Vaccine Company, which had the DoD contract for “advanced development” (basically, clinical testing) of virtually all biodefense medical countermeasures for the US Department of Defense. My father worked as a federal defense contractor all his life, as did my father in law.  In my father’s case, it was mostly in high energy systems- including developing technologies for protection against the electromagnetic surge effects of “the bomb” as well as exploding foil – the technology used to trigger “the bomb”.  My father in-law ran the Raytheon special projects division – basically a CIA gadget and technology shop.  Think “Q” from the James Bond series. This is a byzantine world that I have deep understanding of, and direct experience with for virtually my entire life. I lived by the mantra which all DC bureaucrats know – keep your head down, because if they cannot see you, they cannot shoot you.

But I never really allowed myself to confront the possibility that we might not be the good guys, the white hats.  Until I experienced what we have all been through over the last two years.  A government (or really multiple governments) that clearly believes that it is justified in disregarding fundamental principles of bioethics and the common rule.  And like many others, once I saw that, it was like having backed into a light switch and suddenly the entire room was lit up, and I could never un-see what was revealed.  Are we always the good guys?  Or is this just more interchangeable Spy vs Spy, where ethics and roles and fungible and “situational”.  A world in which there are no good guys, no white hats.  Just a matter of media spin, perspective, and realpolitik.  The world as envisioned by Henry Kissinger and Klaus Schwab.

And by the way, “biodefense” is big business. Yet more weapons of war.

Most of us that are not deep into the mass formation process at this point can see the coordinated pivot from legacy media pushing the COVID fear-porn to the same outlets pushing the “Putin crazy bad man - Zelenskyy good man” theme.  But almost as soon as the shooting war started, a more nuanced and complex counter-narrative cropped up. 

• That is the deep ties between children of key Democratic party leaders and Ukrainian petroleum industry interests. 

• And the USA-sponsored bioweapon research facilities located throughout Ukraine, including along the Russian border. 

• And the legitimate Russian concerns about NATO efforts to geopolitically encircle Russia. 

• And the issue of whether Zelenskyy is really just a western puppet, rather than being the populist leader that has been pitched to us.

• And the surreptitious hand of World Economic Foundation meddling in all of this.

Things started looking a lot more complicated that just “Putin crazy bad man - Zelenskyy good man”.

I love to illustrate key points with stories based on personal experience. I have been told by people who would know (including Major General (ret.) Philip K. Russell, MD), that over many decades, the total expenditures of the US Government in developing biowarfare agents exceeded the money spent on thermonuclear weapons.  A case can be made that modern understanding and technology relating molecular biology, microbiology, and virology is fundamentally a “civilian” byproduct of a massive investment in biowarfare tech by US, USSR, and other governments. 

The latest evolution of these technologies is that we appear to have the CCP of the People’s Republic of China, which seems to recognize no ethical boundaries, pushing the limits of the brave new world of “transhumanism”.  Which in turn becomes a justification for western nations basically making the argument that “since they are doing it, we have to do it”. An increasingly sophisticated next generation of biological warfare. Where people become the weapons of choice for governments that give us no choice. For further on that, please see our prior Substack "Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm". 

Back to my story to illustrate just what we are up against here, as told by those I used to hang with (who may be inflating their self importance). The history that was relayed to me is that the real event which catalyzed the fall of the former Soviet Union was actually the development breakthrough of a binary (two part) bioweapon which could be delivered via an airborne route. So lethal was this weapon, that it could basically stop tank commanders and their crews in their tracks. According to this version of reality, the major military tension and strategic concern between the former USSR and Western Europe involved Russian Tank battalions which were poised to be able to blitzkrieg all the way to the English Channel. A threat which the western European states were acutely aware of, consequent to Hitler having successfully deployed the same strategy. The west basically had no way to mitigate this threat, or so the story goes, so it was always hanging over any geopolitical tensions which would arise from time to time between the European NATO states and the USSR.  Apparently the binary biologic was so potent that it would kill or incapacitate the tank crews so quickly that it negated the risk of blitzkrieg. Of course, this is just one story, told to me by friends in high places - so unverified. Be that as it may.

The point is that biological warfare agents are potent, cheap, easy to manufacture (particularly compared to thermonuclear devices), readily deployed, and have changed the tide of history on many occasions.  Back to the “Indian” wars, where smallpox was basically weaponized from time to time against indigenous peoples in North America.  And probably all the way back through recorded history.

So now we have the emerging rich documentation of US sponsored bio labs scattered across what had increasingly become the US client state called Ukraine.  

If you want to dip your toe into that topic, dive down that rabbit hole, please see the following:

“EXCLUSIVE: Deleted Web Pages Show Obama Led an Effort To Build a Ukraine-Based BioLab Handling ‘Especially Dangerous Pathogens’”

“BREAKING: Biden official says US working with Ukraine to prevent bio research facilities from falling into Russian hands”

“US Embassy Quietly Deletes All Ukraine Bioweapons Lab Documents Online – Media Blackout”

“China urges U.S. to release details of bio-labs in Ukraine”

“China urges US to reveal details of US-backed biological labs in Ukraine – including types of viruses stored”

“Russia Negotiator Charges It Now Has Evidence of ‘Biological Weapons Components’ in Ukraine That Show ‘Good Reason’ for Invasion”

“WHAT HAVE FAUCI’S FRIENDS BEEN UP TO IN UKRAINE?”

Here’s the point. Once upon a time, the US engaged in thermonuclear war brinksmanship with the USSR because of Russian missiles being placed on Cuban soil.  The weapons of war have evolved. Bioweapons technologies have matured. What would the USA do if Russia was transforming Mexico into a client state and had placed biowarfare research laboratories along our southern border.  Would we invade?  I strongly suspect so. 

Are “we” the good guys or the bad guys here?

The CRYPTO tipping point has arrived as corporate banks SHATTER public trust… every person must become proficient in crypto or risk losing everything Tuesday, March 08, 2022 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) For the last several years, I have been a vocal supporter of the technology and decentralization behind crypto, but simultaneously a vocal critic of the hype and speculation that characterizes so much of the crypto ecosystem. Until recently, there didn’t seem to be a compelling reason to exit the traditional banking system and embrace crypto as an alternative, given how few merchants accept crypto compared to the numbers that accept dollars / fiat.

Over the last three weeks, all that has radically changed.

First, the Canadian government ordered the seizure of the banking accounts of private citizens who did nothing wrong and violated no laws. Without warning, their bank funds were looted by the government, with the banks gladly complying the entire time. This proved to the world that banks can no longer be trusted as custodians of your money. All your deposits can be stolen at any time, for any reason, with no due process or recourse.

The banks have become the bank robbers.

Secondly, the severe economic sanctions being leveled against Russia (and all things Russian-related, it seems) have shattered the illusions of banking “reserves” and the SWIFT-based money transfer system. Now, you can be de-platformed from SWIFT, and all your banking reserves can be seized by governments. This means banking reserves are not “reserves” and apparently count for nothing.

Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay and Apple Pay have followed suit, shutting off all Russian citizens from their financial infrastructure, including Russians who are actually protesting the war and want nothing to do with Putin’s actions. The lesson here? Even if you are located in the same country as someone else who isn’t liked by the western financial system, you can be completely de-platformed from all financial infrastructure without warning, due to no fault of your own.

You do not control your own money if it’s in the banks.

This has left countless Russian citizens unable to buy groceries, make loan payments to foreign creditors, receive payments for product exports, and so on. People’s lives are being destroyed, and the banks are complicit in the destruction.

Importantly, everything the banksters are doing to the Russians, they plan to do to YOU. If you refuse to comply with anything — such as vaccines — you can be cut off from the entire financial system without warning.

The weaponization of the banks had made a compelling argument for ditching them altogether and moving to crypto

Given these radical changes in the world over the last several weeks, I have made what I believe to be an honest reassessment of the role of crypto in our modern (risky) world. It’s the following:

Yes, crypto is risky. But banks are now even riskier.

In other words, the traditional banking system is now your enemy and can be turned against you at any time to deliberately steal your assets. With crypto, the risks are more in the realm of price fluctuation risks, with some security risks present as well. Yet crypto, when properly pursued, makes your crypto wallets impossible for governments to seize.

That’s the nature of decentralization. No single authority can decide to take everything from you.

I remain convinced that the ultimate asset storage is physical things: Gold, silver, land, ammunition, fuel, used vehicles, etc. But for assets that need to be held in near-liquid forms, crypto storage now makes far more sense than bank accounts.

Suddenly, the perfect use case for crypto has emerged. The decentralized nature of it becomes an essential tool for financial survival. A few years ago, nobody imagined banks would be weaponized against innocent, peaceful citizens, but now that governments has crossed that Rubicon, crypto is the only sensible place to store assets that require near-liquidity.

By “near-liquidity,” I mean funds that you or your business need to access in order to pay day-to-day expenses such as payroll, utility bills, groceries, etc. Since it’s difficult to pay for those using physical gold or silver, you need to ultimately make payments in fiat currency such as dollars. But you don’t want to store those dollars in a bank that could steal your money. So instead, you can store dollars in some crypto coin of your choosing, then convert it back into fiat only when you need to pay the bills. When you’re not paying bills, you can keep it stored in crypto, where governments cannot easily steal it from you.

This does not eliminate the price fluctuation risk of crypto coins, but it does eliminate the risk of having all your banking funds looted by a corrupt, criminal government.

For the record, I completely disagree with the characterization that “Bitcoin is digital gold.” Only gold is gold. Physical gold. No crypto is gold, and crypto will never replace physical metals in your hands. But crypto can accomplish a lot of other things that gold can’t match, such as rapid, global transactions and transfers. (The perfect crypto, in my view, is a gold-backed or silver-backed crypto. I’m still researching a few candidates in that area…)

Every person needs to become proficient in cryptocurrency basics

Because of these changing dynamics, it is now abundantly clear to me that every person needs to become proficient in cryptocurrency use as a financial survival tool. We are living in an era of criminal government. They have no qualms about seizing your bank accounts, stealing your checking account, and wrecking your life even if you have done nothing wrong whatsoever.

From this day forward, all banks regulated by governments cannot be trusted. They have shattered the social contract of what it means to be a bank. If they can’t do the one simple thing they’re supposed to do — protect your deposits and not allow them to be stolen — then they don’t deserve your business.

The crypto world has been building an alternative, decentralized transactional infrastructure for the last decade or more. It’s not a perfect system — it has been plagued by stolen wallets, absurd marketing hype and some cases of total fraud — but it has also brought us significant advances in security and usability that make it readily viable right now, in 2022.

As of yesterday, I purchased cryptocurrency for the first time in many years. I’m not going to tell you what currency I bought because this isn’t about promoting a coin. This is about getting out of the banking system and making sure we are all proficient in using crypto as a survival mechanism.

Here’s my homework assignment for anyone who isn’t already into crypto:

Step 1: Download and install the Exodus wallet.

Exodus.com. It’s free. It can run on a desktop computer or a mobile phone. This is a crypto storage wallet on your local device. It does not know who you are and needs no ID verification. Make sure you write down your 12-word recovery pass phrase so that you can restore your wallet on another device if your current wallet gets destroyed (via a computer crash, lost mobile phone, etc.).

Once you have this installed, if you have a friend who uses crypto, ask them to transfer a few dollars worth of crypto into your Exodus wallet, just to show you how that works. They will usually be happy to show you how to do that.

Step 2: Join an online exchange such as Gemini

Gemini.com is an online exchange that allows you to connect an online wallet with your bank account. This will require your social security number, your name and identification documents. Once approved, you can purchase crypto with your bank account, effectively transferring from fiat into crypto. Which crypto should you buy? That’s too much to cover here. I’m a fan of certain stablecoins, but not a fan of Tether. I’ll cover more on that later, but beware of silly meme coins and coins that are heavily promoted to the ignorant masses by celebrities.

Understand that crypto in your Gemini wallet can theoretically be frozen by a criminal government, because they know your identity. So you don’t want to keep funds in Gemini. Just think of Gemini as an on ramp and off ramp to your fiat banking account.

Step 3: Move some crypto from Gemini to your Exodus wallet

Transfer some crypto to your Exodus wallet. Search online how-to videos if you need a tutorial. At this point, the crypto funds are in your Exodus wallet and your cryptography keyes are stored on your local device. Nobody really knows you have this wallet, and the wallet isn’t tied to your identity. This is non-cloud storage of your crypto, but it’s not “cold” storage yet. For cold storage, you would need to disconnect your computer from the internet, or purchase a cold storage hardware locker device such as a Trezor.

TIP: You might also consider buying a standalone laptop computer for a few hundred dollars. Set up a VPN on that computer. Use the VPN to do everything, and never use that laptop for anything other than running crypto. Download and install the Exodus wallet here. Only connect the laptop to the internet when you are actively using the wallet. When you aren’t using it, physically disconnect the machine from the internet (ethernet cable, typically). Turn off wi-fi. Consider this laptop to be a dedicated wallet, capable of cold storage. All these steps will protect you from hackers and cyber criminals.

Step 4: Spend some crypto online, so that you know how to make a purchase with crypto

I want you to make one online purchase using crypto. Botach.com sells survival gear and accepts crypto. The Health Ranger Store also accepts crypto, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of other merchants who do as well. Find a merchant and buy something, even something small. I want you to go through this process and get used to seeing how it works.

Once you have completed this process, you understand the basics of crypto.

Understand risk and decide what’s best for you

Now that you have a crypto wallet and an online exchange, you have new options you didn’t have before. If you wish, you can save assets in your crypto wallet. Although I don’t recommend it, you can also speculate on crypto coins and try to outsmart the other crypto players (but in my opinion this is a fool’s game because the whales rig the markets). You can also spend crypto away from the prying eyes of government surveillance and bank monitoring (you can have some privacy, in other words).

Look at the privacy coins like Zcash. Learn what “privacy coins” really are. “Z” means “Zero knowledge.” That’s what you want for maximum privacy. (Disclaimer: I currently do not hold any zcash, but I probably will at some point.)

Also, remember the downside to all this. All crypto becomes useless in a grid down collapse. Then again, so do banks. So remember to use crypto get into physical things such as physical gold and silver.

The Treasure Island precious metals company (which sponsors my podcast) accepts crypto payments for physical gold and silver. A few other metals dealers accept crypto as well. You may also find an individual who wants to sell you precious metals in a private deal.

Be smart. Be cautious. Don’t get suckered into any get rich quick nonsense. You should be looking for stability and security, not speculation and absurdly high promises of returns. I do not recommend “investing” in crypto and hoping for a return. My recommendation is purely on using the crypto infrastructure to store or transfer funds, thereby avoiding the weaponized banking system.

Ultimately, as I’ve said all along, what really counts is what’s in your hands: Gold, silver, ammo, land, housing, food, emergency medicine, etc. But in the process of getting to that, it now seems obvious that it’s safer to use crypto than banks.

Banks are your enemy. Crypto doesn’t know who you are and doesn’t care. (Crypto is reputation agnostic.)

Banks are not merely obsolete, they are now weaponized against you. And the dollar is going to zero anyway, which is one reason why I don’t recommend stablecoins pegged to the dollar. As the dollar loses value, so do dollar-tied stablecoins.
