All of us in the pro-liberty movement need to remind ourselves that celebrating which PEOPLE run the tyrannical, overbearing, criminal cabal of the federal government is not ultimately useful. The real answer is to DISMANTLE the criminal cabal that rules through coercion, taxation, inflation, plandemics and bioweapons deployed against us all. Changing who merely runs that system is not progress. That's why elections are theater. REPLACING it with another tyrannical system is also not the answer. REFORMING it is impossible. The only answer is to DISMANTLE it, and if you can't do that, then EXIT the system as much as you can and disconnect from it in every way possible. That's what I teach in my upcoming docu-series called "Breaking the Chains" which airs (for free) beginning May 17th at BrightU (dot) com.

BREAKING: Truth Social has reinstated my account after I contacted them with questions about why I was de-platformed from Truth Social after criticizing Trump's "secondary sanctions" and trade war tactics. According to Truth Social, the ban was an inadvertent mistake and I was therefore not being targeted due to the content of my speech. They replied with, "Your account was inadvertently banned due to a bug in our bot mitigation system that mistakenly identified your account as a bot. We apologize for the error and have fully reinstated your account."
I want to thank Truth Social for the rapid response to my inquiry and for correcting the mistake. We can all make mistakes, including my own platform Brighteon, and the important thing is that we apologize and correct those mistakes, and work to improve our internal processes to avoid those mistakes in the future. Thank you @TruthSocial for correcting this mistake.

Gene Seroka, the Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles, was interviewed by Bloomberg News today, laying out a disturbing timeline of supply chain disruptions, empty shelves and retail shock that has already been set into motion.
Importantly, this is already "baked in" and cannot be avoided. The lag times of goods being shipped from China allows us to accurately project upcoming retail inventory depletion based on the plunging cargo volumes inbound to ports like Los Angeles.
Here are the highlights of what Gene Seroka described, and note that ALMOST NO ONE in America yet grasps what's about to happen in 5-7 weeks (and beyond):
Immediate (Next 1–2 Weeks) (mid-May)
Sharp Drop in Import Volume:
A 30% decline in incoming shipments (≈50,000 fewer containers) begins hitting U.S. ports, exacerbating existing backlogs.
Delays in unloading due to manpower shortages at docks and trucking networks worsen.
Retailer Reactions:
CEOs freeze imports, hiring, and capital investments due to uncertainty.
Retailers warn of price hikes (10% or more) to offset rising costs.
3–4 Weeks Out (early June)
Visible Shelf Shortages:
Chinese-made goods (≈80% of Walmart-like inventories) begin running out as pre-existing shipments are depleted.
Spot shortages emerge for high-demand items (e.g., electronics, seasonal goods like spring/summer fashion).
Transportation Slowdown:
Truckers see reduced loads (4–5 containers → 2–3), cutting into wages.
Dock workers lose overtime, shifting to below-standard workweeks, further slowing operations.
5–7 Weeks Out (mid to late June, extending into July)
Critical Inventory Depletion:
Retailers exhaust 5–7 weeks of "normal" stockpiles; empty shelves become widespread.
Back-to-school items (a political flashpoint) face shortages if no resolution is reached.
Economic Spillover:
Inflation spikes as scarcity drives up prices.
Unemployment rises in logistics (trucking, warehousing) due to reduced trade volume.
If a Trade Deal is Reached (Optimistic Scenario)
1-Month Lag to Recovery:
2 weeks to reposition ships from Chinese ports (Qingdao, Shanghai) and reload containers.
2 weeks for transit across the Pacific.
Total: Shelves begin refilling after 4+ weeks, but seasonal demand (e.g., summer fashion) may already be missed.
If No Deal (Worst-Case Scenario, projections based on the transcript)
Ocean Freight Collapse:
Shipments from China could drop 100%, paralyzing global trade.
"Desperate" Conditions:
Empty shelves, rampant theft, and social unrest in urban areas.
Long-Term Damage:
Inflation spirals, businesses halt expansion, and unemployment spreads beyond logistics.

Recall that when my own platform, Brighteon Social, recently made a mistake in clobbering a specific video with a guest on @RealStewPeters, I initiated an internal investigation, I found out which person incorrectly banned the video, and I ordered that video reinstated even though I did not personally agree with everything stated by Stew's guest in that video. And I reinforced our free speech policy with that employee who made that error. Plus, I publicly apologized and reached out to Stew privately and apologized to him as well. WE DID THE RIGHT THING for free speech, like Gab does, and so far Rumble has also supported a wide range of free speech. So has Substack. I do not ban someone just because I don't like what they said about a specific topic. Yet @TruthSocial just banned me because they don't like what I said about Trump's tariff wars and sanction wars. Let's see if they realize their mistake and correct it, or if they double down on authoritarianism and censorship, just like the radical Left. Either way, I'll bring you updates on what happens. For my own platforms, let me reiterate, that I SUPPORT THE FREEDOM TO SPEAK even if it "offends" someone, and even if it opposes my own views. You can love Trump or criticize Trump, either way, on Brighteon. And note that X still bans all links to Brighteon, and that our censorship lawsuit against X, Meta, Google and the DoD is still pending in the federal courts. I'll ask my legal team if we should add Truth Social to our lawsuit, come to think of it.

EARLY WARNING: The GOP is going to get absolutely slaughtered in the mid-term elections. Both the House and Senate will be lost, and then it will be just like in 2019 with endless congressional impeachment efforts, rigged House investigations run by treasonous Democrats, etc. Trump is causing so much economic damage to America that a significant portion of his own base will turn against him (it has already begun). The wild optimism from Trump's election victory has already faded, and the reality has set in. What reality? The swamp won't be drained. The traitors won't be arrested. The elections won't be cleaned up. The budget won't be balanced. The wars won't be ended. And the millions of illegals won't be deported. Nearly NOTHING Trump promised America is going to actually happen. He'll have us in another major war before the end of this year, most likely, and we'll have many empty shelves throughout the summer, all across America. Inflation / dollar devaluation will deal a crushing blow to the finances of everyday Americans. Even MTG is now publicly saying, "The base is not happy." She's right. Trump is on a course of political self-destruction and his advisers are telling him "full speed ahead!" (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/mtg-the-base-is-not-happy/)

Because I speak the truth and don't follow the herd mentality of MAGA or MAHA, I almost never get invited anymore to speaking gigs, new movie rollouts, awards ceremonies or group video conference events. You wouldn't believe HOW MUCH I'M GETTING DONE with all the productive time. About to release our "Enoch" AI engine which will change the world in a positive, profound way. New mini-documentaries coming out soon, and a new docu-series called "Breaking the Chains" about how to decentralize your life (will stream for free at BrightU.com). All of this is completely free to everyone and the AI engine will be used by millions across the health freedom space to educate, research and inform. I've also learned that FOCUS makes you "genius," while distractions make you stupid. Whatever you seek to do in life, FOCUS on it like a laser, and don't get distracted by all the social noise. You'll actually get far more done and have a larger impact on the world.

There is no bird flu spreading through cows, chickens, humans, milk, sewage, etc. It's all a hoax. 100% fiction. Doesn't exist. But they use it to strike fear into people and control them, and even to outlaw raw milk. If you are afraid of the bird flu (or measles, for that matter), you have allowed a corrupt, criminal establishment to control your state of mind.

According to the head of the LA port, shelves across America will start to go empty in 5-7 weeks:

Did you know that the current No. 1 use of AI is for people seeking a companion or needing counseling? Seriously. People are talking to machines to work on their own emotions or mental status. Of course, given the insanity of our world right now, I can see why people need someone to talk to. This probably means HUMAN counselors will become a premium-priced luxury, while MACHINE counselors will be the affordable, everyday contact point for most people working out their issues. There's an important irony in all this, of course: Even though humans are surrounded by people, they feel MORE ALONE than ever, and are now increasingly turning to machines to fulfill what other humans cannot provide: Listening, understanding, even the illusion of compassion. What do you think this says about the future of human civilization as AI robots become commonplace? I think we'll see a huge wave of people MARRYING their robots and deciding that machines are better than people. That's going to happen a lot... And I wonder if marrying robots will become legalized under the banner of, "Love Wins!" 😂

I just found out that @TruthSocial, a failed social media platform that lost nearly $400 million last year, recently announced managed investment accounts so they can help lose YOUR money, too!
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp (TMTG) recently announced "managed asset accounts" that they claim will invest your money in many of the very same U.S. industries that are about to be crushed by Trump's weaponized tariffs and trade sanctions (that will devastate the supply chain). (It must be 5D chess or something...)
From their press release, "TMTG operates Truth Social, a social media platform established as a safe harbor for free expression amid increasingly harsh censorship by Big Tech corporations."
Also from Truth Social, here's how they treated me when I criticized Trump's secondary sanctions: "ACCOUNT BANNED: The Health Ranger" - banned with a "rare and severe sanction" for criticizing Trump's insane tariffs and sanctions that will crush America's economy.

I think I have identified the text passage that @TruthSocial decided deserved a "rare and severe sanction" of permanently banning me from their snowflake platform. I said, "Incredibly, Trump’s handling of this tariff trade war is making the Democrats look like geniuses. That’s really something, given that Democrats think men can get pregnant and that mutilating children is “gender affirming care.” Yet somehow, Trump is managing to OUT-CRAZY THE CRAZIES!"
This text, it seems, earned me a "most egregious violation" of the so-called Terms of Service of Truth Social, a platform operated by Trump Media & Technology Group, which is mostly owned by Trump and run by former congressman Devin Nunes, who was another weak-spined do-nothing member of the GOP Congress when it came to the stolen 2020 election.
Notably, today Warren Buffet publicly declared that he also thought Trump's "weaponization of trade" was a huge mistake, and that the world would be better off if countries traded with each other more openly and freely. Thus, on this issue, Warren Buffet and I are on the same page, and we see Trump's weaponized tariffs (and "secondary sanctions") as a catastrophic mistake that will harm the economic reality for literally billions of people, with Americans suffering horribly.
But if you say any of this on Truth Social, you will be banned. Because Truth Social is run by authoritarians (no surprise) who fraudulently advertise their platform as offering "freedom" to speak. But you're only allowed to speak if you bow down to the Emperor who wears no clothes and who has no understanding of international trade.
The authoritarian Right, in other words, is no different than the authoritarian Left.

Influencers on social media spend far too much time worrying about what other people say about them in the comments, which reflects the same phenomenon that plays out in the real world. If you judge the value of your ideas by how others respond to them, you will never break free from the cultural programming of a controlled society. You will never be free to think, and you will never find self-worth when you require others to assign that value to you. BE YOURSELF. You don't have to be cool, or popular, or part of the "in" crowd. You don't have to be invited to all the right dinners, parties or awards ceremonies. None of that matters at all. What matters is fulfilling your life's purpose on this planet, with or without the applause of others who may not even understand what you're up to. Free your mind and your soul will thank you.

It is dangerous to call for peace when the establishment wants war.
It is dangerous to call for health when the establishment wants sickness and disease.
It is dangerous to call for truth when the establishment wants censorship and speech police.
It is dangerous to call for reason when the establishment wants irrational hatred and anger.
But it is far MORE dangerous to go along with the establishment, and thereby lose your peace, your health, your voice and your truth.
Be yourself. Free your mind. Reject the control grid. And regain your mind, your soul and your integrity in the process.

If you analyze Trump's demand to China regarding the trade wars, Trump is demanding, actually, that China stop shipping products to America in order to end the trade imbalance (which Trump calls a "tariff" on China's part). Thus, it's important to realize that Trump is not looking to normalize trade with China and resume China's imports to America. He's looking to end them.
He apparently believes that this will result in the rapid, spontaneous popping up of U.S. factories to create jobs and replace China's imports. But realistically, replicating China's elaborate domestic manufacturing infrastructure, components logistics, raw materials logistics, etc., is a 10-20 year project that will never happen in America for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the reality that few Americans are willing to work in factories, and almost no Americans have skills needed to work in those factories.
Trump's "decoupling" from China appears to be intended to collapse China's domestic economy and provoke a domestic uprising to overthrow China's government, but it seems at least as likely that it will actually collapse the U.S. economy and spawn a fierce domestic uprising against the Trump administration as millions of Americans lose their jobs, retailers go bankrupt en masse, automobile manufacturers shutter production lines and investors put new projects on pause. China can endure and survive without America's consumers, but America cannot survive in its current configuration without China's manufacturers.
It looks to me like Trump's team has grossly miscalculated the reality of this situation, likely because they have very little knowledge of Asia in general, or China specifically, and they have no familiarity with the ability of the Chinese people to endure great suffering, as well as the history of China's suffering and cultural shame under colonial rule (both the U.S. and U.K.). My best analysis is that this entire trade war against China backfires on Trump and actually ends up causing catastrophic long-term damage to the U.S. economy while only incurring short-term wounds to China's economy. Most likely, China recovers quickly and the U.S. languishes for years under Great Depression-like conditions. I cover this in more detail in tomorrow's broadcast, posting mid-day Sunday.

For those wondering how I can applaud Trump on one day, and then sharply criticize him on another day, it’s because I have loyalties to two things: 1) God and 2) Principles. I have no loyalty to any man or woman, or any political party, or any tribe, etc. I assess people’s actions based on whether they adhere to core principles that are pro-human, pro-liberty, pro-accountability, pro-life (in every sense), pro-health freedom, and so on. When I see Trump or anyone else taking positive actions that support my core “stack” of principles, I publicly applaud them. When they announce something that contradicts or violates those principles, I criticize them in the interests of hoping they can do better. And YES, it is exactly our job, as Americans, to be vocal! Those who say, “You have no right to criticize…” have already surrendered to being obedient clowns. The entire construct of a Constitutional Republic is based on the people being actively engaged in the public debate about policy, priorities and principles. Sitting back and passively doing nothing isn’t democracy, and it isn’t going to get you anywhere. Being vocal and active, in the interests of furthering human life, human freedom, knowledge, etc., is what counts. Sometimes that results in dust-ups. Sometimes it’s a verbal fight. Other times, its a reciprocal education effort. It’s all part of how human society (hopefully) moves forward. Finally, it’s not my job to protect snowflakes from harsh criticisms, impactful words or condemnation. For those who are still suck in the idea that “mean words” have to be silenced online, go join a coloring book festival or a hugging therapy session. I’m not here to coddle people’s emotions or reactions to thoughtful analysis of policies and geopolitics. Those who can’t handle discussions of wars, tariffs, monetary resets, crimes against humanity, currency collapses, etc., should get out of the kitchen before the heat wave really begins. We are not living in comfortable, cushy, “make me feel okay” times right now. We are living through arguably the most difficult chapter of history both for the United States of America and for all of our adult lives. Social media isn’t a “safe space” for the fragile-minded and those who can’t handle harsh truths. I hope and pray that Trump’s actions are going to protect and help Americans, and I will applaud him everywhere that I can. But the current course of action on weaponizing world trade and yet again weaponizing the currency through sanctions and secondary sanctions is, in my analysis, doomed to catastrophically fail, resulting in great economic harm for the American people. As this plays out this entire year, we’ll all find out the actual results, and I sincerely hope that my concerns are misplaced. Either way, I pray for America and I pray for the economic and political survival of the American people.

Arguing for PEACE in Europe doesn't make you "pro-Russia." And arguing for TRADE with China (instead of war) doesn't make you a CCP agent.
It's the lunatics pushing for war -- the NEOCONS, the war hawks, etc. -- who are the real agents working against humanity.
Remember, when goods and services don't cross borders, BOMBS and TANKS will.
We either trade with our neighbors, or wars break out and millions die. That seems to be exactly what the establishment wants right now: War, death, suffering, collapse and depopulation. That's what I'm fighting to stop!

The criminal cabal known as the "EU" has just announced they are stealing $3.4 billion in "frozen" Russian funds and handing it out as they see fit. This is another nail in the coffin for western finance, for no nation in their right mind will ever hold Euros or Dollars in western banks, because they realize those holdings can be LOOTED / pirated at any time by the west. This is straight-up piracy and theft. It only reinforces Russia's realization that there is no point negotiating with the west, or believing anything the west says about anything: Money, debt, currency, truces, etc. The west is a cabal of criminals that respect no rule of law and abide by no morals, no ethics and no principles whatsoever.

What will happen through the rest of this year if Trump and Xi don't reach a trade deal that ends the punitive tariffs and secondary tariffs? Based on the Gene Seroka interview on Bloomberg News today, I fed his transcript into our in-house AI engine (Enoch) and asked it to PROJECT a scenario where no trade deal is reached for 16 weeks and beyond.
Here's the timeline Enoch projected would occur in America. Note that this can be averted if the tariffs are ended, but currently there is no indication that Trump and China are even talking about ending the tariffs.
8–12 Weeks Out (August) – Societal Breakdown Begins
Black Markets & Theft Surge:
Looting increases in urban areas as desperation grows.
Underground resale markets for electronics, medicine, and tools emerge.
Manufacturing Shutdowns:
U.S. factories (cars, appliances, medical devices) halt production due to missing Chinese parts.
Tech companies (Apple, Dell, HP) delay product launches indefinitely.
Housing Market Collapse:
Construction stalls—no Chinese-made materials (steel, wiring, PVC pipes).
Home prices drop as buyers fear long-term instability.
13–16 Weeks Out (September) – Desperation Sets In
Food & Medicine Shortages:
Pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, vitamins, generics) run low—China supplies 80% of U.S. drug ingredients.
Grocery stores ration canned goods, rice, and frozen foods (many rely on Chinese packaging).
Currency & Financial Crisis:
Dollar loses value as imports vanish—hyperinflation looms.
Stock market crashes as corporate earnings collapse.
Civil Unrest & Government Response:
Riots erupt in major cities over food and supply shortages.
Military may be deployed to secure ports and distribution centers.
Government rations essential goods (fuel, medicine, food).
Long-Term Consequences (If No Deal is Reached Beyond 16 Weeks)
Permanent Economic Damage:
Millions unemployed as factories, retail, and logistics collapse.
U.S. forced to rebuild supply chains from scratch—a process taking years.
Global Ripple Effects:
Mexico, Canada, and Europe suffer from U.S. economic crash.
China’s economy also collapses from lost exports, leading to global recession.

Currency & Financial Crisis:
Dollar loses value as imports vanish—hyperinflation looms.
Stock market crashes as corporate earnings collapse.
Civil Unrest & Government Response:
Riots erupt in major cities over food and supply shortages.
Military may be deployed to secure ports and distribution centers.
Government rations essential goods (fuel, medicine, food).
Long-Term Consequences (If No Deal is Reached Beyond 16 Weeks)
Permanent Economic Damage:
Millions unemployed as factories, retail, and logistics collapse.
U.S. forced to rebuild supply chains from scratch—a process taking years.
Global Ripple Effects:
Mexico, Canada, and Europe suffer from U.S. economic crash.
China’s economy also collapses from lost exports, leading to global recession.

NEW STORY: Why the Trump administration will FAIL, and America’s economy, military and industrial base will COLLAPSE if Trump’s weaponized tariffs aren’t halted
This is truly a red alert situation for the U.S. economy. On the current track, our supply chain, retail outlets, manufacturers and more will be economically devastated in a matter of a few months. Here’s a collection of my recent posts and thoughts on the subject:

The U.S. auto industry is going to be absolutely CRUSHED by the halting of imports from China, which Trump promised to do last Thursday with his "secondary tariffs" threat targeting countries that buy oil from Iran. Without parts from China, almost every U.S. automaker will be forced to halt production (other than Tesla, which relies on a far more diverse supply chain). How do Republicans plan to win elections when factory workers across America are laid off or fired from their jobs because the supply chain has collapsed? Most of the blue collar people who voted for Trump in 2024 are going to be voting for Democrats in 2026 and '28. And the GOP has, as usual, ZERO PLAN to address this. They are all just full-speed ahead right into a political brick wall. This isn't even difficult to see. Barely 100 days into his administration Trump has already crushed the future hopes of the GOP and handed political victory back to the Democrats, a group that was practically OBSOLETE because of their adherence to transgenderism, child gender surgeries and Joe Biden's rank incompetence. In just 100 days, Trump is showing America that as bad as Democrats can be, Republicans can still say, "Hold my beer!"

BREAKING: Truth Social (Trump's social media platform) PERMANENTLY BANS the Health Ranger for criticizing Trump's "secondary sanctions" that Trump himself announced on Truth Social. This reflects the authoritarianism, dishonesty and total lack of ethics of Trump and the business people around him, who advertise, "TRUTH. Your voice. Your freedom." but then ban you when you don't say what they want you to say. Truth Social is no more free than Facebook, YouTube or any left-wing platform.

RETAIL APOCALYPSE INCOMING: If Trump doesn’t reverse his announced trade embargo on China, Amazon dot com will go bankrupt. According to CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/trump-tariffs-mean-higher-prices-big-losses-for-amazon-sellers.html), “up to 70% of goods on Amazon come from China, according to Wedbush Securities. With nearly all imports from China being taxed a staggering 145% under the latest tariffs, Amazon sellers are having to decide whether to raise prices or absorb the vastly increased cost of importing their goods.”
But that article was obviously written before Trump’s announcement (yesterday) of a total trade embargo against China, saying that any buyer of Iran’s oil would be prohibited from selling anything to the United States, with no exceptions. (China is the No. 1 buyer of Iranian oil.) In Trump’s own words, “They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form.”
With a total embargo, Amazon sellers won’t even have the option of raising prices. There will be no China-made products to sell, period.
Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Lowe’s, Target and other mainstream retailers are about to face supply chain Armageddon. It’s not clear how long they can stay in business without China factories shipping them things to sell. Auto manufacturers in the U.S. will be forced to shut down in a matter of just a few weeks after this new embargo takes effect, lacking key components from China. And tech giants like Apple are already talking about a near-$1 billion charge for the quarter, just to cover increased tariff costs. That’s assuming they can get the parts at all.
In other words, Trump is going to burn down the U.S. economy in the process of waging an economic war against China. It is delusional, practically a form of mental illness, to think that U.S. factories will just spring up and replace China-made goods overnight. Anyone who believes that is incompetent and wildly uninformed, lacking a connection with reality. You can’t set up instant factories like they were pop-up tents. It would take America something like TWO DECADES to build a domestic infrastructure that even comes close to China’s manufacturing, transportation and raw materials infrastructure, and that’s assuming that 50+ million Americans can’t wait to work in factories and that they have the skills, endurance, health and mobility to even do that. Of course, they don’t. Not at any wage.
Incredibly, Trump’s handling of this tariff trade war is making the Democrats look like geniuses. That’s really something, given that Democrats think men can get pregnant and that mutilating children is “gender affirming care.” Yet somehow, Trump is managing to OUT-CRAZY THE CRAZIES!
The GOP is going to get absolutely slaughtered in the mid-terms if Trump stays on this course. Americans elected Trump to arrest the traitors and GROW the economy. Instead, Trump arrests no one of any significant and commits economic arson across America. This will not go well… and Trump’s support base is flipping on him right now, with a massive wave of blue-collar workers about to find themselves unemployed under Trump. There goes Pennsylvania!
The Trump apologists who don’t see this are wearing blinders and will suffer their own form of T.D.S. when reality smacks them hard.
