0:00:00 - 0:00:19 All right, I had a bunch to say about this Chinese spy balloon so called, you know, I was thinking about it because um I have another channel called Surviving Montana. I don't know if you've checked it out or not. Probably not. But um I don't put tons of work into that channel. I started it years ago 0:00:19 - 0:00:36 cause I thought it was gonna, you know, I've been doing a lot of homesteading type stuff and I thought, well, maybe I can monetize this cause I'm spending the time anyway, maybe I can help people and make a couple of bucks in the meantime. And uh things happen in life. I really didn't have the time and 0:00:36 - 0:00:53 energy. I thought I was going to, to put into that. So there's tons of videos on there and I think I have almost 1000 subscribers actually, which I don't even know how that happened. But um anyway, you might check that out, but I put a video on there that I just made about this book lights out by Tech 0:00:52 - 0:01:11 Cole. And if you're watching this channel, so now I'm gonna give you, I'm not gonna say the things I said in that video, you should go, go check it out. Mostly I just don't have time I get to writing, excuse me. But I'll say some things I didn't say over there. If you're on this channel, hopefully you've 0:01:11 - 0:01:32 read my blog upward thought.blogspot.com. And you know that uh for years now, years and years, I've been telling you that this country is going to be invaded by Russia and China. And when I first started saying that everybody thought I was crazy. In fact, a lot of people still think I'm crazy for many 0:01:32 - 0:01:53 reasons and that's fine. But uh as I've given you prophecies of things that are gonna happen, uh you'll notice that some of those things have happened. In fact, I'll link this in the, in the description, but I made a video, it was at least three years ago now called uh when the fig leaves appear summers 0:01:53 - 0:02:13 at hand. And it's kind of a weird video because I just took a bunch of my prophecies and I shared them and uh if you go down that list, so humans are really bad at remembering how things were, they just kind of project how they feel right now on everything. But if you can suspend that bias for a moment 0:02:12 - 0:02:35 and think about what you thought about three or four years ago and then watch that video, you might be a little uncomfortable, it just how accurate some of these things turned out to be compared to how crazy they seemed when I said them. But um here we have China floating a balloon over the US that I 0:02:35 - 0:02:59 don't think has anything but a weighted payload on it. And I forgot to say this in the other video but balloons are seen as this low tech option. They're actually not, they're, they're really good for certain things. And the technology on this one that, that hit the news yesterday morning is massively 0:02:58 - 0:03:22 advanced from the state of the art just seven years ago in terms of payload guidance ability, um and uh altitude and all three of those things matter in terms of how lethal an E MP could be loaded on one of these because they're heavy and they have to be detonated really high up to have the greatest 0:03:22 - 0:03:45 impact. And it was slightly above the ideal detonation height was above the max altitude of these balloons just 10 years ago. But we're in a different world and obviously somebody's been spending a lot of money on R and D for this. I wonder why. Right. So, um and then you do also have the, the anyway 0:03:44 - 0:04:08 , I won't get into that but check out that video, um check out the other video on the book and uh think about these things, they're important. And like I said in the video on my other channel, and I'll say even more strongly here because of the, the context that we've had this conversation before. It's 0:04:08 - 0:04:33 absolutely time to go to wherever you wanna be when the lights go out. And I'm not saying, like, pack up your car and start driving and leave everything behind and not saying that. But I'm telling you if it's not in your plans, it probably should be because what's gonna happen is that whether it's this 0:04:32 - 0:04:52 or something else, you're going to see the roll out of things where right now, because you didn't do this three years ago, it's a lot more expensive to move. You're probably gonna have to move to a smaller house for the same amount of money you get for your current house or if you're renting, you might 0:04:52 - 0:05:16 have to pay more in rent. But don't compare that to what it used to be, compare it to what it's going to be because we are approaching a time where your only option for leaving is going to be to walk out the door with whatever you've got on your back. I'm telling you that's gonna happen. And especially 0:05:15 - 0:05:38 if you have kids now, you shouldn't do anything based on fear, but you should do things based on reason. And it's reasonable to compare where things are now with where they're going to be. And even if you have to blur out all the specifics of why things are gonna be like that are exactly how it's gonna 0:05:38 - 0:06:03 be. I'm telling you that we are on an inescapable trajectory to a point where your only option to get out of where you are is gonna be to walk out the door and probably run out the door with whatever's on your back and you're gonna have to walk or run or, or crawl through very, very, very bad conditions 0:06:02 - 0:06:27 to get to wherever it is you're trying to go. No, there's no security in a place, security comes from God and, uh, God's promises to and through people, but not in a place. All promises about places are actually promises to people and through people because the place can't be righteous. Only a person 0:06:27 - 0:06:50 can be and blessings come through living the law and obtaining the law. They don't come through being a place or being in a place except through the people that obtain the promises, but it's time and you need to think about this and it needs to be pretty high in your priority list because there's only 0:06:49 - 0:07:12 so many balloon floating kind of activities that can happen before the real thing happens. Just like with COVID, it was like a trap, got sprung, doors were shut and they will not open again. So it's not like there's gonna be a time when it's as it was in terms of moving. There may be a time where I'm 0:07:12 - 0:07:35 hoping still that there's a time when uh property and attractive places becomes much less expensive than it is right now. It's absurd. Uh where I live, for example, um there are no houses on the market. Uh, one came up on the market. I have an alert set. Uh, one came up on the market yesterday and it's 0:07:35 - 0:08:01 , it's for sale for exactly, for more than twice. I'm sorry, for, for more than twice what it sold for in 2018. And that's untenable. It's completely ridiculous. No one can afford that. And, uh, it's like that everywhere I've checked. So, uh, except there's random places in North Dakota and around there 0:08:00 - 0:08:18 that are dirt cheap, but hopefully you don't have to work for a living or you can work for remote because otherwise I don't know what the heck you're gonna do for work. But, um, anyway, it's just gonna get harder. And so if you're in a position where you can move, you really need to and if you're not 0:08:17 - 0:08:38 , you, you should really pray and help, uh, ask the Lord to help guide your, your, um, circumstances, which won't just include the way you might interpret that with like we don't have enough money or we don't have this or we don't have that. It's also gonna be well, do it anyway. So, uh, because it's 0:08:38 - 0:08:57 just gonna be worse, right? So, it's like cutting off your hand is a lot better than cutting off your arm and cutting off your arm is a lot better than cutting off your head. And that's the sort of direction we're going in. So, um, anyway, hope that helps
