Is the Iran War Another Gateway to The Great Reset? with Christian Westbrook

All right, everyone, I am here with a friend and a returning guest. Christian Westbrook, unshadowed, formerly known as Ice age farmer. Thanks for joining me today, brother, on such short notice.

I'm thrilled to be here, Derek. Thanks for the conversation.

Yeah, so I mean, the reason I wanted to reach out to you is I consider you to be one of the foremost experts, if you'll allow me to use that word, in this particular area of research that we're going to discuss today, which is, you know, how world events, geopolitical events, impact food, of course, which is something you've covered for years now, but also the, the inputs that relate to food. So whether that's fuel, you know, different fertilizers, things like that. And how that of course plays into what people see on their local grocery shelves, what they can, you know, what they see at their local gas stations, things like that. And it seems like more and more people are starting to question the narrative of this war with Iran, not only in the sense of just being anti war and like this is senseless and doesn't make any sense, but is there some sort of larger narrative going on that seems to play right into some of the same agendas that you and myself and others have been talking about since COVID and prior to that? So maybe before we get into some of your recent reports, you could share your analysis on what you're seeing with the Iran war and how it plays into the bigger picture.

Definitely. So what started this week was that I was looking at sort of the way that countries were reacting across the world. And right away you start to notice that there's strikingly similar measures being implemented at breakneck speed around the world. Almost the same language in a lot of the announcements. And it really feels like Covid, right? It really feels like when these countries, it was not a bottom up solution, like, oh, there's a pandemic. How are we as a sovereign nation going to come to, you know, rise to the occasion and deal with this? It was clearly a top down scripted thing. And then eventually the script surfaced even as the Rockefeller lockstep documents revealed all the social distancing, even using the same, you know, virus coronavirus in advance. So I think by now that's been pretty well understood to have been something that was a scripted and engineered crisis that was used very much to achieve the goals of the technocrats. And that's exactly the sense that started developing this week as we saw those countries implement these same energy conservation measures, but also using a lot, even in some cases explicitly Invoking the same language about locking people down. Both in government officials saying the word lockdown and in media reports saying lockdown style. I don't have any of those headlines pulled up, but you can just find there are people saying lockdown style measures in order.

I've seen like Vietnam and Denmark, like encouraging stay at home orders to conserve gas and stuff like that. Is that what you're referencing?

Some people explicitly use the word lockdown. But that's exactly. Yes, that's exactly among the steps that are being recommended. And not only. So it's been like a series of discoveries this week as I've done these reports. Not only were those, those steps that you're mentioning and then some others like certainly rationing access to fuel, limiting who's allowed to use the roads based on whether or not you have an even or an odd license plate, which sort of brings in the US that reminds you of like the 80s, the fuel crisis then, but now it's access to the roads. So you'll only be allowed to drive one of your, you know, if you have one car, you're only allowed to be on the road half the time. Which of course sets the stage eventually for the elimination of private car ownership and shared, you know, always taking an Uber or whatever.

And it sounds familiar to some of the things we've seen talked about in the past with so called 15 minute cities and things like that. Or you know, before there was like, okay, only within this per perimeter of the city, you know, you can't drive or do this. There are only people like you said, with odd, odd or even number license plates. But now this is kind of going even beyond that.

Absolutely. And yes. Yeah, you beat me to the punch there. Yeah, this sets, yeah, exactly. This sets the stage for narrowing the transportation freedom. And that's why I was so interested when you posted that report about Mexico going completely digital, not only with just purchases of fuel, but the toll, the toll roads. So you're literally able to track people where they're going. And eventually very much Hunger Games esque, like which zones they're allowed into. But yeah, so that speaks directly to the 15 minute cities. And you already see, for example in Denmark, their prime minister got up there and said he was literally begging people saying, quote, please, please, please do not drive unless it's absolutely necessary. And so the steps that were recommended, one of these, it was the International Energy association. The IEA came out a few days ago and they had a series of 10 steps that they recommended that member countries take. But even countries in Asia are taking these same steps. We can go through those if you want. It was like you said.

Yeah, I got some of your reports here. I'm going to pull up. I just want to mention, since you brought up Mexico, just to. For those who haven't seen, that, I'll be talking more about it. And I did put an article out last week, but there was this big banking convention here in Mexico and Cancun, and you had blackrock, you had the Mex, the head of bis, bank of International Settlements Mexico, the head of the Mexican Central Bank, Justin Trudeau, was here for some reason. And they were already kind of talking about the future of digital money. But then the big announcement was Thursday evening, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum gave a speech where she made it clear, according to them, which I just still can't fathom, but according to them, by the end of this year, they're going to phase out cash when it comes to gas stations and to toll booths. And you know, the reason the toll booths is kind of even a bigger move if, if they do actually try this is because in Mexico, tolls are pretty much everywhere. I mean, so it's not like the US where you have, you know, the regular freeways that you can pretty much drive on freely. And then there's some roads if you want to go faster, you pay tolls. Like, pretty much all the roads that most people use in Mexico are toll roads. There are free roads as well, but they're not maintained. They're much longer routes than, you know, you would take on the toll roads. And they can in some places be less secure in terms of safety. So vast majority of the country chooses to use the toll roads. And those toll roads already can be expensive. And it's, you know, it's a whole thing all to its own. But that is, in my view, is just another example of how they find these little squeeze points where they know, well, people want to use these roads, they're better, they're safer, they're faster, et cetera. That's a way for us to try to push our agendas. So we'll see how that plays out. But let me go ahead and pull up your, your substack here for those who haven't been following you, of course. We did an interview a couple months ago. I'll put the link below if you're not following Christian over on substack or YouTube or elsewhere or on Telegram Unshadowed and, and I'll just pull a few headlines that you covered. Recently engineered shortages and austerity rolling out fast. You talk about Slovenia and I'll let you get into these two weeks to flatten the fuel curve, digital IDs, rationing, energy, austerity. Yeah, I think you covered this one too. Pakistan school is closing because of war is not in. Like, there's all kinds of different things going here. So sort of walk us through what you're seeing. Like, like, I guess first off, like, let's take a step back before we get into the, the, the micro level of all these scenes. Do you think, do you think the war is, I don't want to say engineered per se, but do you think that this is being done as just another cover for rolling out these agendas, or is it just coincidentally playing right into the technocrats hands? Because, you know, there are some people who believe that covet itself was just cover for economic collapse that was ongoing. You know, things just another way to use to push the agendas, obviously. And then there were others who thought, well, no, there is something real going on, but they're taking advantage of it. Like, where do you fall on that? Do you think the whole war, not to say the war is fake, which I don't believe, but do you think the narrative though, of the reasons the war taking place is just cover for that larger agenda, 2030 technocratic state?

I do. So my personal belief, and I will also qualify it as you just did, that clearly there are really people dying. And this is terrible, right? There's, there's terrible things going on. And just because it's part of an agenda doesn't mean that it's any less terrible or that there aren't people dying. It's not a. I'm not saying everything is fake and nothing ever happens. But yes, I think that There was the 2008 financial crisis where things got crazy enough that the governments had to step in and buy all the sovereign debt. And then things sort of escalated from there until 2020. It was getting undeniable again. And they had to throw a pandemic to cover that up, institute more emergency measures and kick the can a bit further. And now I think the wall is so crazy that as Gerald Celente says, when all else fails, they take you to war. And so that provides the COVID for, for the economic collapse that we're facing and the situation there. And yes, as well, it is the, I mean, as usual, the technocrats have multiple, they function stack, to use the permaculture term, they have multiple goals that they accomplish with most of their actions. And so this is an answer for an excuse for the financial collapse that was going to happen so that people don't get mad at the leadership and blame them. And then, yes, obviously it plays directly into implementing all of these. So disturbing the energy system right now, they've already stopped, what is it, 20% of the LNG supplies offline and will be for three to five years because they've destroyed so many of the facilities, particularly in Qatar or Qatar, whichever you prefer. And although a lot of those, the 8 to 10% of oil that's. That's offline right now and not being exported is. Is not being exported because it's stopped, because there's no getting it out, because so they've just been holding onto it. It's not getting out of the straight there. And so some of that capacity could come online. But, yeah, there's still, there's lasting damage that's being done to the infrastructure here. So that is giving them the. The COVID story to say, oh, we've got an energy crisis. And there's actually. There's so much to talk about here. Part of what I've been looking at this week is that, for example, there are posts from a Dutch barge captain who has a whole barge full of biodiesel. He was routed to, I think, Antwerp and then sat there for two weeks and then was rerouted somewhere else. And now he's been sitting there for a week and a half and he tweets like, this is ridiculous. Like, this is. They're raising the cost of fuel and here I am not being allowed to unload by cargo. And there's a whole. Went pretty viral in Dutch circles and in other parts of Europe. Among the replies, there was one guy who works at the ports and he's saying, you know, thank God that someone else in this space is talking about this. We are not allowing anyone to unload or load fuel here in my port right now. And this is. So if you trace back the timeline that the captain outlined, that actually takes the genesis of his just sitting in the port back to before most of this energy destruction happened. So the shortages are that they're, you know, the shortages that they're now using as the basis for all of these. Slovenia saying they were rationing your goods. Portugal saying, we're rationing things and we're going to ask you to cut your. Even residential energy usage 20%. The UK saying, We're going to turn off lights at night. You're not going to be allowed to cool your beer in the pubs at night. We're going to Ration fuel, close gas stations. There's a whole, I have a. The list is quite long, but it is the same series of steps across all of these countries because it's being dictated from the top. And all of that is being done even as it turns out the fuel has been sitting in ports since before this crisis apparently was created by the war. So that's troubling. And then another sign of this being a very scripted situation comes out of Australia where there was about a week ago I did a report on some of the, you know, some of the media coverage out of Australia that said there's, there's fuel shortages and they're doing rationing at the gas stations. And there was, among that media coverage, there was one gem where ABC Net AU interviewed the manager of one of the fuel wholesalers. So this is the guy who purchases in this case from BP a bunch of fuel and then his customers are the gas stations. And he's quoted in ABC News as saying, BP I was directed by bp, who of course is very tightly a big company with lots of globalist connections, owned by State street and Vanguard and so forth. BP directed him not, excuse me, not to release any more than 50% of the gas stations orders to his customers. And they said if you do, if you don't honor this, we're going to cut you off completely. So he said, this is out of my hands. I can only give the gas stations half of their orders, which of course sets the stage for shortages. And then since I've done that report, I've heard from a number of people in Australia who said this is crazy because at the same time this was apparently happening, the media was going on TV and saying, hey everybody, you better go stock up on fuel right now. Prices are going to go up, so go get it while you can. So this combination of telling people to buy things but then also restricting supply clearly leads to a situation where they're running out. And once that happened, then the Premier, I think it's Chris Minns, gets on TV and says, well wouldn't you note, we've got shortages. It's because of all this panic buying and now we're going to have to institute rationing. And so the, the fact that they've gone through this series of steps and you know, like we said, there is destruction going on, there is a lot of energy infrastructure that has been eliminated and then a good portion of it that's offline because of the straight, which could be taken back online with some delay. And we haven't even talked about the fertilizer yet either. So there, yes, there is a legitimate bit of the energy, the world energy markets that's being clearly, that's being impacted. But as well, they're, they're engineering things and creating these optics to make things worse to further justify the implementation of these measures.

Yeah, it's a lot happening here. I'm going to go ahead and show some of the headlines that you reference here. This is just BBC so mainstream news. Slovenia becomes first EU country to introduce fuel rationing. Then we got time how countries are responding to the Iran's war, emerging energy crisis. And as I said, you've got some reports here engineered shortages and austerity rolling out.

F.

Yeah, so I mean, I want to cover a few more headlines, but I also want to, as you know, I mean, we, I think by this point, my audience, your audience, people who've been following either of our work, are aware of these kind of things and are watching the Iran war with hesitancy and skepticism and concern every time they see, okay, a new oil field's been bombed or these things that seem to play perfectly into the hands of people who don't want there to be, for one, private ownership of vehicles. That seems to be one of their main planks, Agenda 2030, that they don't want the people to have the freedom that comes along with being able to grow their food. And like you said, there's fertilizer, there's other inputs. Obviously gas itself plays into equipment for growing food and things like that. Do you have any, you know, just to start off, before we go further into some of the bad news and some of the concerns, like what would you say if you just had a handful of tips right now people should be doing. I mean, I know we've talked about this in previous interviews where you went from having your big farm to, you know, now kind of doing things on a more personal level, what can somebody do right now who's hearing this? And it maybe is 100% dependent on their local big box grocery store or is living in an apartment in a major city or something like that and hears these things and they're with us and they're listening, but they also just don't know what to do. Like what? You know, should they start stocking up on certain types of food or certain types of items that might be useful in these emergencies? Is there anything that you would offer in that regard?

There, there is. And this is, I was actually called the other day both a doom porn ped and a hopium salesman. In the same day. So now, which was great because now I feel like I can just say whatever I actually feel and I don't have to worry about appearing to be either one of these things. You can't have it both ways. So I think actually it's a balance of these two things, like these bad things are really happening. And again, to sort of zoom out to the big picture with the Epstein stuff coming out. All of these dark things that were really only visible to the people that took the time to look into conspiracies and the alt news, the truth searchers, whatever you want to call them. It was only a group of people, sort of a self selecting group of people that really wanted to know that would get to that layer of truth. Now it's being broadcast right now. Some of the darkest things that humanity can imagine are out there for everyone to see. And there's a bit of revelation of the method going on there. And so I think again, stepping way back, what's going on here is that collectively humanity has suppressed these things which are disgusting and revolting. And we don't want to own that. We want to dissociate from it and push it out or repress it. And to invoke Carl Jung, you can only do that so long. When you do that at the individual level, everything you. What is it? Everything Jung says everything you don't make conscious eventually will come out at you from the outside world until you make it conscious and integrate it. And that is also true in the collective psyche of humanity. So all of these things, the totalitarianism, the trafficking of children, the, the imposed scarcity for agendas, all of these things are darkness, right? That's. We don't, we don't like that. We think, I wouldn't do that and hopefully other people won't do that either. And now that's been repressed long enough that it's come to the surface, it's come out in the outside world in such a way that we collectively have to see it. It's forcing us to see it and we're going to be forced to integrate it. So the answer then to your question is that as much as yes, we should, I clearly have always been a big advocate of prepping and building food systems and becoming more self sufficient and building self sufficient communities, becoming more resilient to these kinds of challenges. But now those things happen as a result of doing the inner work and looking at your own shadow and resolving your own. You know, one of the things I think it's incredibly brave Actually, Derek, that you're very open about your struggles with addiction in the past. And so if people are able to look at those parts of themselves and integrate that and be honest about it with themselves. And then beyond that, at sort of the ancestral level, like, what's in my transgenerationally, what's in my family that no one has wanted to look at, but now it's, you know, it's time. This. This is. I've been calling it the Omni crisis. I guess the World Economic Forum actually similarly calls it the poly crisis. But it's true. Like, it's not just the economy. It's not just a food systems failure because of all the petrochemical damage that's been done for generations. It's not just the, you know, the revelations and the Epstein. It's all of this all coming to the surface at the same time in a way that demands that we deal with it, that we integrate it. And so that's what we do. And we have to look at these things. And what does that, you know, it raises the question, how do you integrate that kind of stuff? It's at a. When it's a collective trauma, how do you integrate it at a personal level? And the. As best I can tell. And I'm just. I'm one of us, right? I'm just working on this as well. It's. It's like looking at these things and then noticing, how is this. How am I reacting to this? Like, what. What's going on within me? Why do I want to go buy canned goods and bury it so the government won't take it? Or how am I reacting to the Epstein stuff? Why am I angry at them for imposing scarcity or ashamed that I can't grow 100% of the food for my family? Or mad at the sheeple because they're refusing to look at reality. And that enables the technocrats to do that. Right? There's a. There are things that come up in me that are. That are negative or that are dark or something like this. And integrating that, as Jung said, doesn't mean that you forgive everyone and just get over it or like, ignore that there are problems. This is not a soft, fuzzy, Oprah Winfrey, spiritualist, secret kind of thing. This is. Okay, how does it. How. What's going on in me when I think about these things? And then I am mad at the sheeple. And it is pissing me off that we don't have food growing locally. And so actually, instead of going and buying a bunch of tuna and Burying that in the backyard so they can't find it. A more productive step to resolving these problems is to go start a garden and make it a community garden. Involve people. I like to garden, so I'll do it because I enjoy it. I like to garden because I'm saving heirloom seeds that are in these just incredibly precious genetics that as the companies, the seed companies have consolidated and then bought up the seed stock and then they put out the terminator seeds. There's less and less genetic diversity other than the stuff they shove under the eyes at spavored the seed bank there. But that, that makes me happy. Right. That's a, that's a, a positive creative authorship of reality that I can do rather than doing something from the fear perspective. Because when you do it from the fear perspective, you're still shoving it outwards. And that's going to necessarily feed all of these crises. So the way, so, so actually the answer is you don't have to have, you know, 20 acres and a mule or whatever, whatever, a homestead. Clearly that would be nice. And the more of us that can be doing that so that we can grow our own food and have other people that don't have the resources come help us with the, necessarily with the labor that so much food production and homestead maintenance has, those are the communities we need to be building. But it's got to be done from a creative authorship of reality place instead of a fear based place. How does that land for you?

I love it, man. Thank you. That's so important. And I really want to just kind of stay there for a moment before we talk about some more headlines, because I know that at least I'll just speak from my own experience in the years that I've been doing this work, a decade and a half, and also trying to talk about the, the need for that internal work and how that plays a role in it and what I consider, you know, a holistic liberation movement. Yes, let's talk about food. Yes, let's talk about opting out of these systems and exposing corruption. But also we have to point the fingers back at ourselves. We need to look at ourselves in the mirror, all these kinds of things, and really examine what role we're playing in these broader systems. And I've noticed and maybe even some people hearing this might say, okay, well that sounds like. You said. That sounds like Oprah Winfrey or something, warm and fuzzy. But, you know, the technocrats, these psychopaths are coming to kill us and what are we going to do? And yes, that is True. And the internal side of this struggle, you know, I call it the struggle against our own internal tyrant. Our doubts, fears, insecurities, limiting beliefs and things that can hold us back. That is so essential to, to, I think, creating a better humanity. Because yes, we do need to store the food and let's build the systems and, and let's be proactive and activated about it and let's also see what, what we can do for ourselves. I just, I just really want to emphasize everybody who's hearing that today, if that's new to you, you know, please take some, some time to go back and re. Listen to what Christian just said, go through my work because this has been a central theme over the years that we, you know, for the good of everyone, we have to focus on ourselves to some degree. We have to take time to, to do that. And I just also want to make a mention, I'll put this link in the show notes. Your presentation you gave at the People's Reset just a couple months back. You talked about this in the context of permaculture in Zone Zero. And I thought that was a really beautiful presentation that kind of elaborates on what you just touched on there. So I just, yeah, I want to really just recommend everybody to watch that, to listen to that and to give it some thought. You know, how much energy are you putting into your own personal cultivation in your own heart as well as your family, your neighborhood, et cetera? And is that anywhere equal to the amount of time that you put in diving through the Epstein documents or listening to podcasts that are going to make you feel miserable about the world? I think we need to find a balance between that, right? Like what we, how much energy we dedicate to that, to being awake, informed, educated and all that sort of stuff. But then what do we do with that information? Do we turn it into something positive? Do we use it to empower ourselves to our. We use it to empower other people. Because if not, then perhaps, you know, they. Them, those at the top are already winning by just making us be so black pilled and convinced that that all. All is hopeless, all is lost. So, yeah, I really appreciate, you know, the, the emphasis on that. Anything else you want to add to that before we jump back to some headlines?

No, I think, I mean, yes, I think that, that the technocrats think they're pushing the reset button, the great reset button on systems so that they'll get control. But I think the button they're actually pushing is such a big one that it's going to be. And I think, you know, there's a certain beauty to consciousness and how sort of slippery it is. And I think the reset button, I think they're going to fail. I think ultimately the button that they're pushing is going to be a reset of human consciousness and a remembering that we're not trapped in this materialistic world, but it's a participatory reality that responds to our beliefs. And to some extent, to a very real extent, their attempt to take over had to be this extreme in order for us to collectively remember. So I think it's. It is exactly as bad as it needs to get for things to get good. And I do think it's just to be clear, I don't think it's going to be better tomorrow. Right. I'm not saying this is a rosy. I feel great about this situation. It's going to suck for a bit, but I do think they'll lose in the end. Yeah, absolutely.

I agree with you on that. Okay, well, let's go back to some of these headlines, some of the things you've been covering recently. Let me pull this one up here. You got this one that makes me real curious about what you covered. This is from March 11th, so maybe about 10 days ago, biometric ID required for food for 800 million people. Digital IDs rolling out. Now, Obviously the headline kind of says it all there, but maybe you can give us some more detail on where you're seeing this in the world where the convergence of biometrics and digital IDs. I mean, this has been happening in places like India and others where they've been testing these kind of programs with the help of Bill Gates and others. But tell us what this report's all about here.

Yeah, you nailed it. So that 800 million is the number of people in India that are on food assistance. And so as of earlier this month, it is now mandatory that when they go to collect those food rations that they use some form of biometric id, whether that's an iris scan or a face scan or a fingerprint scan. And there have definitely been instances already where those scanners aren't working. And that causes problems and agitation, to say the least at this place. What's even more alarming since then is that we talked about Mexico and their desire to roll out the eliminate cash for purchase of fuel in the toll booths. And then Sri Lanka this week has now made it mandatory for people to have a QR code so that they can purchase fuel. So the whole point here is that they, you know, we know, as you said earlier, this audience is already fortunately familiar with a lot of these agendas. You've spoken with Katherine, Austin, Fitz and so forth. So we all know that the digital id, they've been chomping at the bit to get this rolled out for some time and they've already developed those technologies and the blockchain for tracking all of these assets and tokenizing everything and so forth. They've built this infrastructure already and they only need that crisis, that right crisis now to roll it out. And that is what we seem to be looking at. And so yes, Sri Lanka has implemented a QR based rationing scheme. It's tied to an individual vehicle because otherwise, they explain, you could just fill up at one station and then go down the road and do it at another place. This is kind of like they use the smartphones to track your purchases at grocery stores during COVID But again, it's a level, A level further. And just as Mexico, you mentioned, just as Mexico had said, we're going to do this now. We're going to do this 20, 26, this year. This is going to happen. So too, just in the last few weeks did the UK announce that they're going to move forward with the Brit card. I think the quote from the media was we have no idea how much it's going to cost, but it's really immaterial because it's not about that. We don't really care how much it's going to cost you. We're going to roll this out no matter what. And as well, the EU had passed something, I forget the exact letters on it, but it was saying that we will require all member nations to offer to the 400 plus million EU residents a digital ID wallet that will be used for government services and finance and real estate and so forth. And the date. Yeah, this year. So doing both of those things this year. And that was a few years ago when I, a few weeks ago I think when I did that report. And now it becomes more clear that, yeah, they need, they have to roll this stuff out this year because they're going to be rationing energy and very soon food to. And they'll need these IDs to tie it all together.

Yeah. And this is, I just want to share again, here's the headline, one of the headlines I saw that you mentioned. Keir Starmer faces Brick card headache as legal challenge deadline loom. So it seems like maybe there's going to be a little bit of pushback, but which of course I want to Encourage everybody, push back however you can and what ways you can. Sometimes I'll get some, some pushback on my own. People say you focus too much on exit and build and building parallel systems. What we need to be doing is resisting the tyrants or we need to go overthrow them and pull out the guillotines and stuff like that. And you know, my response typically is, and sort of in a joking way, but also honestly like okay, well let me see you lead that violent revolution. You think it's going to save the day and we'll see what happens. But I, I do think people should push back where they can. For me, again, focusing on the parallel systems and opting out is part of that, that so called resistance. And in Mexico they are playing a similar card because like I mentioned with the toll booths they're claiming as always, these people, it's it they care so much about the children. As the Epstein files have shown us though, they're always just desperate to protect the children. So they want to push Internet IDs to protect the children from you know, porn or protect them from, you know, pet predators online, which are all things that I think everybody here cares about. But we know that these people can't be trusted. In that same sense, Mexico does have a cartel, violent, you know, sort of extra governmental cartels that do commit violence in parts of the country from time to time. And so that is a very useful tool for the government to use. And there's, you know, it's a whole nother category topic of research in terms of CIA funding and going to cartels and, and guns making their way down there. Which makes many of us very skeptical because it seems be such a useful ploy that they can pull out every now and then like much like the US government has done with ISIS or Al Qaeda or terrorists over the years. Right. But nevertheless it is something that they use. And I've seen this in some of the Mexicans I know who are supportive or at least open to this idea because they say, well the cartels are stealing, you know, gas, petrol at the gas stations. And so they come there and they steal the gas and they steal the cash. Or occasionally there'll be some toll booths that might get robbed by, by criminals. And well, it's because they're holding cash on them. If we just the cash from the equation then the criminals won't have anything to take. Obviously we, we know that that's not going to be the end. You know, the criminals, if the, the legit criminals out there who are committing Those crimes, they'll find another way. They'll just go to the, the gas pipelines and they'll steal it from there. And I also think also the Mexican people, generally speaking, don't trust the Mexican government is looking out for their well being. So when they say these kind of things, like with their push to push a sort of the first form of a biometric id, they claim it's to help with missing people. There's a lot of missing people who've gone missing over the decades due to the same cartel violence. Well, if we're going to be able to find people, we need to have a biometric ID for them so that in the case of a missing person we can easily locate them and see them through cameras that they're trying to get installed everywhere. And so it's always going to be this card that they play that they just care so much about the people. They want to help us out, they want to prevent fraud, they want to protect the children. I think everybody here is not operating under those illusions. You can see that there's something bigger going on here. But it's not surprising to me to see different countries play that same card. Now I wanted to look at another report you have here. You mentioned this to me briefly in passing and I know you have this graphic we're going to pull up this one you is from March 20, so just a couple days ago, energy Armageddon hits, food rationing and as you mentioned, lockdowns begins. But there's something specific you mentioned here, this absolute zero blueprint. So could you talk to us about this and then I'll go ahead and put pull that up on screen.

Yeah, that's the graphic I sent. That's. So there's a group in the UK called the Fires group that released a report some years ago that was called absolute zero, which provides this, it's a, a timeline sort of counting down how to achieve a zero carbon future. And you know, clearly there are many plants that are phasing out fossil fuels and delivering on that. But this one is, is, I mean it's beautiful because it gives you this, this really clear timeline. And if you go down a bit, literally the bottom line of the report is a rapid elimination of fossil fuels. Yeah, rapid reduction in the supply and use of all fossil fuels. And that first line that we're edging up towards Right now is 2030. So as we go down the left column, those are the things that they intend to get done within the next

it says completely phased out 2030 to 2049. I mean they don't hide it at all.

Yeah, yeah, but even on the left. So just leading up to 2030 is the stuff that it would seem that they're behind on their goals, but they would, you know, if they're going to pull that off, then this is exactly the kind of crisis that they'll need to stage. And so at the top you see that it has, we're going to stop having any, any fuel based cars. It'll be electric only. And this definitely aligns with for example Vietnam this week said, well, because of the fuel crisis, we're going to incentivize people to be purchasing electric cars and then growing the rail system, all electric, eliminating flying is that third line there. By 2030 they want to have most domestic flight shut down and most of the airports that are used for those kinds of connecting flights shut down. Only the main hubs for international travel will still be open. And then eventually, as you go right there, yeah, all remaining airports are closed by 2050, which is, which is crazy. And yeah, we see the, you know, the rising vibes so to speak of that right now, especially in Australia where they're already saying, hey, we're going to have to start cutting domestic flights because we got our jet fuel from China and China just cut us off. So what little fuel we do have will have to be reserved for international flights. So a lot of these look like they are happening now. And a lot of, you know, a lot of the, it's been in the conversation for a long time. Like the, you know, Biden administration and the EU were both talking about eliminating ownership or California specifically, of course even put it into the law that they'd be eliminating the production of diesel and fuel cars. But now, now they have the impetus to actually get those things done. The next line there was shipping. And it said, well, because there's no such thing as shipping without, yeah, there's currently no freight ships operating without emissions. So we got to get rid of, we gotta get rid of shipping. This is a crazy cult, right? This is a cult of global warming that has been operating and making these, these what they call it extreme adaptation plans, Deep adaptation they've called it for some time. And one of the things that, that raised my eyebrows this week was the realization that, you know, the UK has a group called the next year the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, which is there within the UK government, that's the body that, that creates those kinds of global warming cultists policies and has pushed all the climate alarmism to try and justify that. And as the, the fear stopped working, right, you can only say we only have five years left before the entire earth bakes. So many times since 1980, before people are like, I don't, I'm not buying, I've heard this story before, I'm not buying it anymore. And I saw Al Gore's movie way back when. This is, this is nonsense. And yeah, so they've, they've lost that power. Whatever power that was purchased for purchasing for them, they've lost now. And so this was necessary. They had to pull off this energy cut off in this energy crisis that they're, that we're looking at now. And what raised my eyebrows was the realization that in the UK's policy documents for how to handle a fuel crisis, it's called the National Emergency Plan for Fuel. It is both authored by that Net Zero group within the UK government and then within the planet it says it'll be implemented by and executed by the Net Zero group. So the people that are dealing with this energy crisis right now are the very same global warming cultists that have been doing this for decades and have been just chomping at the bit for any reason to push these crazy totalitarian policies then. Wow.

Yeah. And you know, I wanted to just show this graph one more time. So for those who are watching on the screen on the third column there, where that's just like that red circle with the white line through it. So they're, they're, I mean, they're not hiding their plan. So even if you were to, you know, take off your conspiracy hat for a moment and take these people at their word that they're doing all this because they need to phase out certain allegedly damaging, you know, materials and technologies in order to get us to a net zero, or as they call it, absolute zero world, where everything's warning off electricity, or at least that's kind of what they're framing it here. Even if you take that charitable view, they're not denying that in the 2000 and 30s to 2000 and 40s they're going to close all airports or at least aim to all shipping declines to zero. And then they've got this nice 2050, that's where that red circle with the line through it. And that's basically nothing, no shipping, no flying, nothing for a good period. And then I guess somewhere beyond 2050 we get to electric planes may, may fly may, they added that may in there with synthetic fuel once there are excess non emitting electric supplies. Some naval ships operate with onboard Nuclear power and new storage options. So again, even if you take the charitable view, they are clearly, you know, groups like this are clearly showing the same thing with the fossil fuels down here and other just total phasing out of fossil fuels. They're making it clear that this is part of their plans. And so it's not a right wing conspiracy. Whatever. All the, the tropes that we've heard, these people, and I know you've quoted them and I've seen quotes go by where a lot of these officials, they say it themselves, like there's going to be a period of pain, there's going to be a period of hurt. Hurt. There's going to be like, we're going to have to push this on the public because they know the public is going to resist. Even if, again, even if you're just a normal person, not some conspiracy theorist, when you're hearing from the government or some official telling you, well by this year you're going to stop driving or you're not going to be able to get access to all these different foods because we're going to phase out shipping because of climate change, there will be a rebellion against that and they're not hiding it by any means at all. And I guess that brings me, as we start to wrap up here, to another question. Do you think that these types of folks also have their own plans in place for what happens when that resistance does take place, when the public, as seems to have been happening the last five years and beyond, as more and more the public catches wind and recognizes like these people are going to try to limit my freedom to travel, my freedom to eat what I want, my freedom to, you know, have fuel to do these kinds of things. Do you think there will be a backlash with the public and do you think that the folks trying to push these narratives are, are already preparing for that?

Well, there's no doubt before, before we talk about that, I just want to go back to, there's, in the spirit of ice age farmer, there's a line there for food too. And I mean, that's what makes that, as you said, that's what makes that report so fantastic is that that big red line that indicates this is a hard stop, right? This is not a, we're going to imagine a better future and we're going to develop the technologies needed so that humanity can, can see, you know, a cleaner future with the transition to it. No, it's, it's a big red dot that says every, everything stops. That it's, it's Just crazy. But that food line.

Yeah, they say total energy required to cook or transport food reduced to 60%. Beef and lamb phased out along with all imports not transported by train. Fertilizer use greatly reduced.

Right. So eliminating fertilizer is happening right now and then beef and lamb phasing out. I mean, that's why, that's why the billionaires who have been so furiously investing in fake meat and in indoor vertical farming and all these alternative ag tech things have been throwing investment at it, even though it's clearly economically unviable under the reality we were living in is because this is their plan. They know that the future they are ushering us into through this energy crisis right now is one where it is the only economically viable way to produce food because the farmers don't have diesel, so you can't work the fields. Just this week, Thailand grounded the entire fishing fleet because the fishermen can't afford the diesel. The Irish Fishing association warned earlier today that they'll be shutting down their entire fleet within three weeks if the government doesn't step in to provide assistance with the fuel. I mean, as, as luck would have it, Israel has been developing fake fish for, for years now. They've become the Capital of fake 3D printed proteins and stuff like that. So yeah, so now it's. If it wasn't clear before that this was their plan, right. If you didn't buy it before then it's very clear that these people who were the ones that horses and invested in things that didn't make any economic sense back then, are also the ones who have authored these plans and are now ushering us through these transitions. And of course they have a plan for how to handle resistance. I think we saw a lot of what it will look like during COVID right, where it becomes a lot of social pressure was applied to people. So if you weren't doing your part to curb the spread, there's two weeks to flatten the curb. And if you didn't honor that, if you didn't submit to the, to the demands of the medical tyranny, then you were the problem and you were the one. It was because of you that I have to even lock down for another week now. Right? So you, you became the source of the problem in the eyes of, of the people that we should try not to. The sheeple that we should try not to get too mad at, but we should be trying to inform and we are right now. So yeah, I think, you know, we've, we've seen that there was a bit of this in Covid too already, where they were trying to improve energy efficiency. But that will be it, right? It'll be if you see someone who's driving on the wrong day or taking too much fuel or double dipping from their fuel rations, or if they're taking too much food once we get to that level, then you need to turn them in because it's because of them that you don't get to eat eggs on Thursday. It was supposed to be egg day, but we don't have enough because some people were taking too many. Right. It'll be that kind of a social pressure and, and then it'll be criminal. Right. They'll make refines and jail time or whatever else needs to be. It'll take a significant hit to your social credit score if you eat too many eggs. But yes, the short answer is I think they have absolutely planned extensively about how to corral the, the people into this future.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct, my friend. I think they have definitely planned for this. And that doesn't mean we shouldn't, shouldn't still strive to do what we can to keep freedom alive and to keep our, you know, our, our individual independence and our community interdependence alive. We just got to be prepared. And as you said earlier, I mean, I tend to be in the, the, the, you know, of the mindset that it has to get worse before it gets better. I don't know why that seems to be humanity's destiny at the moment, and I wish it wasn't that way, but it appears like we're going to go through a period of hardship in order to awaken humanity. It seems like we tend to operate best, at least the masses of us, of humanity, when we are under threat, as we saw during COVID with that reaction to the feeling of lockdowns and threats in your face 24. 7 news cycle. That motivated a lot of people to say, maybe I need to grow my own food now. Maybe I need to start connecting to local people in my area. Maybe I need to get some land or whatever homeschool my kids. Whatever moves they made, they made largely in reaction to what was in their face and, and was unavoidable at that point because of the 24. 7 news cycle. And my only hope is that as we face these new incoming challenges, whether through the war or whatever other thing they cook up, because I see Trump is talking about aliens now and releasing alien stuff, so who knows what narrative it will be. The point is we know what the agenda is. We heard their announcement of the Great Reset. We've seen them talking about Agenda 2013. We've heard them talk about 2050. And obviously these plans, absolute zero, these are real plans. And so we need to be prepared for that and whatever ways we can, mentally, physically, and spiritually as well. And. And do your best to reach those around you. I think that's what really matters. So, any other closing words, brother, before I let you go for today?

I do. I wanted to say to your audience that, that. That there's a lot of people in the. That have. They talk about truth and alternative media and stuff like that, and Derek is one of the real ones. Right. So when I was injured by an antibiotic and had to lay low for a few years, there are a lot of people who were mad at me and then said that a number of things that. That just were not helpful. And Derek was one of the very few people that was genuinely reaching out to me, like, how are you? How is your family? Is there anything I can do to help? So, like, Derek is a real person. He's a real guy. He's coming at this from the heart. You know, the amount of effort that he puts into the People's Reset Conference. Like, you can't. You can't do that and be faking it. So I just wanted to acknowledge and share some gratitude for the fact that you really are coming at this with your whole heart. And I appreciate that. And so definitely support Derek if you're able, and thank you for what you do, Derek.

Brother, I appreciate that very much. And, yeah, I'm glad that. I'm glad you made it through all your. Your physical and spiritual challenges. And I can tell you that so many people are grateful to have you back and. And here with us spreading this information. So everybody, again, if you haven't found him, if you still haven't got the word, by chance you're seeing this interview and you're like, oh, my God, Christian, he disappeared. No, he's been back for a little while. Check him out at Unshadowed on substack and YouTube. I will put all the links in the show notes, of course, and please check out his links. Everything we discussed will be there. Guys, it's time for us to take care of ourselves, take care of each other, take care of your own heart, your own mind. Let's focus on that Zone zero as the world gets a little crazier, and let's see how we can build that better world we know is possible. Until next time, everyone remember, you are powerful, you are beautiful. And you are free. Peace. Thank you.
