impact and even if you're far from the

play00:58

conflict Zone which could be thousands

that I've been working on for years I'm

play01:19

going to share a little more in a moment

play01:21

so definitely stick around so let's go

play01:22

ahead and jump in global computer outage

play01:26

you might be amongst the millions

play01:28

suffering from the recent crowdstrike

play01:30

outage Financial transactions flights

play01:32

shipping and even scheduled surgeries

play01:34

they were all impacted worldwide now the

play01:36

chaos disrupted Airlines hospitals and

play01:39

banks on July 19th it was not due to a

play01:42

hack ransomware or Cyber attack as we've

play01:44

come to expect in recent years but

play01:46

instead a faulty software update from

play01:48

crowd strike and while most systems are

play01:50

now operational the fix of the outage

play01:52

which affected Windows systems is still

play01:54

ongoing in all some 8.5 million

play01:57

computers around the world were impacted

play02:00

and the key infrastructure and business

play02:01

systems were brought offline leaving it

play02:04

staff around the world scrambling for a

play02:06

fix now for recovery for some is

play02:08

expected to take days or weeks but

play02:10

there's no relief from the financial hit

play02:12

of the loss on global business's Revenue

play02:15

even for one day now the effects are

play02:17

ongoing in other ways as well Delta

play02:19

Airlines has canceled around 6,000

play02:21

flights as a company struggles to get

play02:23

back into the skies almost a week after

play02:25

the outage now keep in mind that Delta

play02:27

transports thousands of times since to

play02:30

packages as well as people so

play02:32

cancellations they hold hundreds of

play02:33

Industries and manufacturers up and it's

play02:36

prompted another Department of

play02:37

Transportation investigation of the

play02:39

airlines but Delta Airlines is not the

play02:41

only company or service that desperately

play02:43

needs to assess their overexposure to

play02:45

globally networked systems now other

play02:48

airlines have mainly recovered

play02:49

completely but most were completely down

play02:52

on the Friday of that poorly coded and

play02:54

untested update uh I was actually in

play02:57

Texas visiting family and Was preparing

play02:59

to leave the next next day flying out of

play03:00

DFW so as you can imagine I was not

play03:03

excited to wake up to that news now

play03:05

crowd strike known for its claim to

play03:07

revent hacks before they happen offers

play03:09

cloud-based Security Solutions to Major

play03:11

Tech firms Airlines and Banks managing

play03:14

inpoint protection antivirus

play03:15

capabilities real-time monitoring and

play03:17

threat detection now the specific update

play03:20

of coding was with the realtime

play03:22

monitoring piece crowdstrike is a

play03:25

company that offers real-time protection

play03:27

from hacking but it shot itself in the

play03:28

foot with this one by releasing an

play03:30

update it fell to test and just like

play03:33

that companies's worldwide had what we

play03:35

in the IT industry called the blue

play03:36

screen of death the faulty update from

play03:39

crowd strike caused widespread

play03:41

disruption across various Industries

play03:43

displaying a your PC ran into a problem

play03:46

and needs a restart message on numerous

play03:48

Windows computers that's it and within

play03:50

minutes thousands of critical Global

play03:52

Systems were knocked offline fortunately

play03:54

the defense department was unscathed

play03:56

perhaps Having learned from crowd

play03:58

strikes previous errors to not

play04:00

immediately update systems now this is

play04:02

not the first time the company has

play04:03

brought systems down and it's been

play04:05

involved in several high-profile cyber

play04:07

attacks but still the company was valued

play04:09

at over a billion dollars with a client

play04:11

list including 500 Fortune 1,000

play04:13

companies which tells you just how youbi

play04:15

equitus it is in the computer industry

play04:17

in every business and defense sector the

play04:21

interconnectedness of the global it

play04:22

System including cloud computing

play04:24

networks that store your data Financial

play04:26

networks and security patches for

play04:27

operating systems designed to protect

play04:29

you from hackers is a vulnerability in

play04:31

of itself now I have a separate it

play04:34

company that I own and operate and

play04:36

that's the rule number one never roll

play04:37

out untested code to a live environment

play04:40

okay so here's the real question what do

play04:43

this signal to us from a prepping

play04:45

standpoint it really highlights a

play04:47

vulnerability and interdependence of our

play04:49

computer systems this year's coding

play04:52

error can become next year's hacker tool

play04:54

increasing the likelihood of future

play04:56

exploits now we're witnessing more

play04:58

widespread system faur whether caused by

play05:00

a solar flare Cyber attack or lousy

play05:02

Coating in these more significant

play05:04

attacks they affect hundreds if not

play05:06

thousands of systems simultaneously

play05:09

leading to store closures delays and

play05:10

shipments of essential items and

play05:12

navigational disruptions for delivery

play05:14

services even local systems they may

play05:16

face issues such as the inability to

play05:18

call for help if telecommunication

play05:20

systems are offline the real takeaway

play05:23

here is that we are Overexposed to

play05:25

computer systems and preparing for this

play05:27

is crucial we become so increasingly

play05:31

dependent on systems all working

play05:32

together without any issues and in

play05:35

moments like this it really shows just

play05:37

how vulnerable we are and while we may

play05:39

not have experienced disruptions

play05:41

recently this is more of a win situation

play05:44

not a if so I would encourage you to

play05:47

continue to prepare and if you have it

play05:48

please do I suggest you start by going

play05:51

impacted At All by the recent Global

play06:21

computer failure let us know by posting

play06:23

a comment down below crop failures crop

play06:27

failures they're not just in the future

play06:30

we're already in the early stages of

play06:31

reduced output which leads to inflation

play06:33

on food now China is the world's largest

play06:36

rice producer accounting for about 30%

play06:38

of Global Production while India is the

play06:40

second largest contributing about 16%

play06:44

now together these two countries grow

play06:45

about 46% of the world's rice and

play06:48

overall Asian countries produce 90% of

play06:50

the global rice Supply a primary food

play06:53

stable for more than half of the world's

play06:55

population now India faced a significant

play06:57

decline in rice Harvest last year due to

play06:59

sim weather conditions and this year's

play07:01

record long Heat Wave is exacerbating

play07:04

the problem China is also warning of

play07:06

reduced Harvest due to high heat in

play07:09

earlier than usual rains recent

play07:11

record-breaking temperatures have

play07:13

impacted key grain producing regions

play07:15

forcing corn Farmers to delay planting

play07:17

and flooding soybean and rice fields in

play07:20

other areas now rice is just one crop

play07:23

affected by extreme weather which is

play07:25

impacting a wide range of crops globally

play07:28

including ol olives potatoes soybeans

play07:30

wheat and even chocolate now changing

play07:32

weather patterns are outpacing

play07:35

agricultural science's ability to

play07:37

develop part of your crop varieties in

play07:39

recent years both China and India have

play07:42

curbed grain exports and increased

play07:44

Imports the war in Ukraine has allowed

play07:46

these countries to secure grain deals

play07:48

with Russia in exchange for political

play07:50

neutrality and India has increased grain

play07:53

imports from Russia 22-fold and in

play07:56

October 2023 Russia and China signed a

play07:59

12year contract worth an estimated 25.8

play08:03

billion for 70 million tons of grain

play08:06

legumes and oil seeds now these extreme

play08:08

weather events like the heat Dome over

play08:10

India we warned you alerted you to in a

play08:13

previous video are they're they're now

and we're not even halfway through

play08:23

summer in the northern hemisphere and

play08:25

this shift in the global food supply

play08:27

chain combined with extreme weather will

play08:30

result in higher prices and potential

play10:19

over to you NATO Europe is preparing to

play10:22

go to loan in the next World War or at

play10:24

least without the help of the United

play10:26

States now NATO leaders are increasingly

play10:28

concerned that their country May face a

play10:30

prolonged World War without us support

play10:32

Poland's foreign minister has urged

play10:33

European allies to boost defense

play10:35

spinning in anticipation of changes in

play10:37

the transatlantic relationship

play10:39

regardless of the outcome of the United

play10:41

States presidential election now he

play10:43

emphasized that while the United States

play10:44

will remain a strategic partner European

play10:46

countries they need to take more

play10:48

responsibility for their own defense as

play10:49

the US shift its focus to Asia the

play10:52

foreign minister pointed out that

play10:53

Europe's concerns about Russia limits

play10:56

its ability to engage fully in Asia now

play10:58

this view is gaining raction among

play11:00

European leaders especially after

play11:01

previous US delays in a to Ukraine

play11:04

dramatically hampered the country's

play11:05

ability to defend itself from Russia's

play11:07

Invasion now the concern is that Europe

play11:09

may have to face additional threats from

play11:11

Russia or China without United States

play11:13

support reflecting fears that the US

play11:15

might reduce its NATO investment

play11:18

especially if the next president adopts

play11:19

an isolationist stance now European

play11:22

diplomats they also argue that the

play11:23

United States pivot toward Asia is a

play11:26

long-term Trend the United States

play11:28

support has been question and delayed in

play11:30

the past and continues to be uncertain

play11:32

and meanwhile The Joint Partnerships

play11:34

authoritarian Styles and even military

play11:36

operations shared by Russia and China

play11:38

they continue to strengthen North

play11:40

American Aerospace Defense command

play11:42

intercepted four bombers two Russian

play11:45

into Chinese near Alaska on Wednesday a

play11:47

day before we're recording this video

play11:49

though they did not enter American or

play11:51

Canadian Sovereign airspace and

play11:54

intercepting foreign adversary bombers

play11:56

near our airspace is relatively routine

play11:58

so it's not a cause for alarm but

play12:01

adversaries are always testing our

play12:03

detection and response times and what's

play12:05

alarming is the increasing frequency of

play12:07

Joint Maneuvers and actions between

play12:10

China and Russia and as their

play12:12

relationship deepens the rest of the

play12:13

world will either bristle against it or

play12:16

acquas and fall into place at a recent

play12:18

NATO Summit European policy makers they

play12:20

acknowledge the need for increased

play12:22

military spending due to the Potential

play12:24

Threat from Russia and China in the

play12:25

ongoing war in Ukraine now NATO leaders

play12:28

have outline plans to address defense

play12:31

shortfalls including air defenses troop

play12:33

numbers ammunition and secure

play12:35

Communications aiming to strengthen

play12:37

Europeans defense capabilities by 2025

play12:40

now concerns about the US commitment to

play12:42

Nato have led to closer defense

play12:44

cooperation between European countries

play12:46

for example the Ukraine and Germany

play12:48

they've signed a defense pack to enhance

play12:50

industrial coordination and Joint

play12:51

operations in the new head of the

play12:53

British army emphasized the need for the

play12:55

UK to prepare for potential direct

play12:57

conflicts within the next years focusing

play13:00

on modernizing the Army and leveraging

play13:02

technological advancements to maintain a

play13:05

credible deterrent Force now let's put

play13:08

this into perspective for a moment not

play13:10

all the world wars start with dramatic

play13:12

events like the assassination of the arc

play13:14

Duke ferdinan the invasion of Poland or

play13:17

the bombing of Pearl Harbor today's

play13:19

potential Great War could build slowly

play13:21

over years with conflicts in Ukraine the

play13:24

Middle East Asia and Africa now some

play13:27

will argue that we were engaged World

play13:29

War III with cold war cyber attacks

play13:31

Insurgency state sponsored terrorism and

play13:34

sabotage contributing to a persistent

play13:36

conflict and even if tanks or troops

play13:38

never reach your neighborhood Wars they

play13:41

have long-term impacts on economies

play13:43

alliances defenses Global Supply chains

play13:45

National priorities and many other

play13:47

aspects of your daily life it's

play13:48

definitely planning for the Long Haul

play13:51

when you prepare against the disruptions

play13:53

of future Wars but still I think people

play13:56

can't continue to ignore the fact that

play13:58

so many countries are bracing for and

play14:00

acting like they're going to be engaged

play14:02

in a big great kinetic War before this

play14:05

decade is finished so even if tanks

play14:08

never roll in or troops never march into

play14:10

your neck of the woods even if no one

play14:12

you know ever goes off to fight in a war

play14:14

Global conflicts they have a tremendous

play14:16

impact on food supply economics

play14:18

infrastructure and the future trajectory

play14:21

of your freedoms nobody can say for

play14:23

certain how it might impact you directly

play14:26

even if all but it's in your best

play14:29

interest to act as if it will impact you

play14:32

your best defense against it getting far

play14:34

worse than it is today is to continue to

play14:37

prepare and if you haven't gone through

play14:39

our guide on how to do so I'd encourage

play14:40

you to download it from the link that

play14:42

I'm going to put in the comments and

play14:43

description section below so what do you

play14:45

think are we marching straight into

play14:47

World War III can it be avoided at this

play14:49

point and what are you doing to prepare

play14:51

for that very real possibility

play14:53

personally let us know in the comments

play14:55

below now I like to leave these heavy

play14:58

news segments sort a little my own

play14:59

long-term prepping uh facing these

play15:02

challenges of potential weather and

play15:03

supply chain disruptions to the food

play15:06

supply a World War we can avoid even

play15:09

Mass failures of our Global computers

play15:12

here are some of the things that I'm

play15:14

doing um let me start off by what I

play15:17

mentioned at the beginning of the video

play15:20

something I've been working on for years

play15:21

is and again I've mentioned this over

play15:23

the last several weeks is purchasing

play15:24

property I've struggled mildly over the

play15:27

last few years finding property within

play15:29

my area not too far out in the middle of

play15:31

nowhere uh something that was just

play15:33

realistically you know that I could work

play15:35

on and maintain so over the last I think

play15:38

it about it took us about 6 weeks but we

play15:40

finally today I'm recording this again

play15:42

on the 25th and uh we finally closed

play15:45

escrow few hours ago on a piece of

play15:47

property it's a little more than 2 Acres

play15:49

it's got a couple of houses on it it's

play15:52

got a barn that they converted into a

play15:53

house it's all permitted and it's

play15:56

amazing it pretty much has everything

play15:57

that I want it's got a well it's got

play16:00

septic uh it does have solar but that's

play16:02

my strong suit knowing the solar system

play16:05

so I'm working with several different uh

play16:07

sponsors on the channel we're going to

play16:09

be building out some elaborate systems

play16:11

to document and to show you how to do it

play16:13

now the point of this property is going

play16:15

to be primarily for one purpose it's

play16:17

going to be a teaching ground uh I don't

play16:19

think this is going to be my own

play16:20

personal final off- grit setup this is

play16:23

going to be and I'm just kind of sharing

play16:26

peeling back so to speak behind the

play16:28

scenes and kind of showing showing you

play16:29

where this is all going my vision and it

play16:32

could change over the next four to 5

play16:33

years is to take this piece of property

play16:35

and build it up step by step by step

play16:38

taking a typical house we're going to

play16:40

mark off spaces around the property on

play16:42

what would be defined as kind of a

play16:43

typical Suburban size for example here's

play16:46

10,000 ft that will section off and this

play16:48

is what you can do with that then we can

play16:50

have a different test environment over

play16:51

in different parts of the land so the

play16:54

whole point of it is to produce an

play16:56

environment where I can teach on this

play16:57

channel um that has always been my heart

play17:01

since I started this channel if you've

play17:02

noticed on the channel over the last

play17:03

several months it's kind of leaned a

play17:04

little more toward the news side of

play17:06

things because quite honestly I been

play17:09

spending my wheels over the last several

play17:10

months trying to get a piece of property

play17:12

I've been doing a lot during the week I

play17:14

don't really share going to different

play17:15

pieces of property in the county to

play17:16

trying to find something I've gotten

play17:18

pretty aggressive here lately because

play17:20

frankly I just feel like it's time with

play17:22

everything happening in the world and I

play17:24

just believe this is a time to really

play17:26

step the channel up and to take more of

play17:28

a proactive approach to teach and I know

play17:31

I'm not the only one I'm very honored

play17:33

and I'm very appreciative for you the

play17:35

community that have been with me for

play17:36

years and this is my own personal belief

play17:39

over the next several years we'll

play17:40

continue to see more and more people

play17:41

come into this preparedness lifestyle

play17:43

and just having the Practical

play17:45

information to show how to take you know

play17:47

piece of property and convert it setting

play17:49

up Rain harvesting solar uh you know

play17:51

Gardens you know all these different

play17:53

things that you have to really consider

play17:54

and think through even in a Suburban

play17:56

environment I want to teach with this

play17:57

environment so I've taken a sizable

play18:00

amount of my own uh Investments that

play18:02

I've accured over the years and I've

play18:03

shifted it into this property because

play18:05

for me I believe this is a next step

play18:07

forward in the channel uh the studio

play18:09

that I've been in here for about four

play18:11

years um one of the things with this

play18:13

property in the Barnes that has a very

play18:15

large open area downstairs that we're

play18:17

going to convert into kind of a three

play18:19

shot Studio where I can turn and have

play18:21

different shots based on what I'm doing

play18:23

for example interviews a main setup kind

play18:25

of like this and maybe one for I don't

play18:27

know green screen or something get

play18:29

creative but the point is this now opens

play18:31

up an opportunity to really grow the

play18:33

channel and to continue to teach which

play18:34

is really at the center of what I want

play18:37

this to be uh so that's that and you

play18:40

know we'll be doing probably in the next

play18:43

week or two I'll probably do a walk

play18:44

through of the property and show you the

play18:45

setup um there's a lot it's very unique

play18:47

my realtor was really surprised when he

play18:49

found it with me and uh it has some

play18:51

really cool stuff that I'm going to be

play18:52

sharing with you here uh soon so all

play18:55

that to say as you can tell I'm pretty

play18:57

excited and I'm can't wait to take you

play18:58

on this journey with me over these next

play19:00

several years as we grow this channel in

play19:02

a New Direction um let me finish by

play19:04

saying this as I always try to do when I

play19:07

end these new segments again there's so

play19:09

much happening around the world and let

play19:11

me start off this segment of trying to

play19:13

encourage you with what I'll always say

play19:14

at the end of these videos you're never

play19:16

a victim you always have time to prepare

play19:20

don't get caught up with the fear and

play19:21

the hype that the world is going to end

play19:23

tomorrow could it I don't know gang I

play19:26

don't have a I don't have a crystal B

play19:29

I'm just as much you know in a position

play19:30

as you are looking at the world what's

play19:33

playing out um seeing these changes that

play19:36

we're going through this is clearly a

play19:38

time of TR change that we're going

play19:40

through in the world we're seeing you

play19:42

know countries aligning to contest the

play19:45

West we're seeing these temperature

play19:47

fluctuations that are impacting our food

play19:49

production and so many other things and

play19:51

if there was ever a time I think to be a

play19:54

prepper is now our grandparents my

play19:57

grandparents they call themselves

play19:59

Preppers they just they saw the world

play20:01

around them going through the Great

play20:02

Depression and other things like that

play20:04

World War II and they realize it's in

play20:06

their best interest to take care of

play20:07

themselves and I think we're going for

play20:09

through a very similar time frame in the

play20:11

world right now where it comes back the

play20:14

responsibility on you to step up but

play20:18

you're not a victim you have time so

play20:21

please do not get discouraged and again

play20:22

we do these new segments for one reason

play20:25

is to really give you kind of a clear

play20:26

picture as much as we can and un without

play20:30

introducing bias I know we all have bias

play20:32

but I'm trying so hard to keep this

play20:34

Channel free from politics to just give

play20:36
