This episode of survival Dispatch news We're going to discuss the power station Vandalism that's happening all across The country Hey guys today's video is sponsored by Off-grid cyber security products now Off-grid didn't pay us to feature their Products today but they did send us some Really cool products that I'd like to Tell you about this is the off-grid Faraday backpack now Faraday is a Shielding technology it has lots of Great features it's got multiple Compartments as you can see this is a Really cool backpack it's got hidden Pockets it's large enough for a couple Days worth of clothes and personal items Here I've got the Faraday duffel bag It's got the same Faraday technology Multi-layer shielding technology it's Super tough when you get a chance to Feel this material you're going to feel Like you're going to feel what I feel And it feels good there's room for lots Of clothes and lots of equipment in this Bag right here I've got the off-grid Switch wallet that's what you're looking At on the screen here this is also a High security phone case that you can Put uh put into stealth mode by cutting Off all cell Bluetooth GPS and Wi-Fi Signals just by slipping your phone into This pocket check out all the great Off-grid products in the link we
Provided and thanks for watching all Right we're back with survival Dispatch News with our special guest today you Might recognize this handsome fella Right here Chris weatherman AKA Angry American spelled A-n-g-e-r-y on purpose why is that There's actually a well my the most Common answer I give people that Especially when they leave stuff on my Facebook page like you're an author how Do you not know how to spell Angry Um I like to tell them that it's idiot Bait and the fish is good uh but the uh There's a definition for that spelling Of angry in the urban dictionary and It's to be angry over something trivial Or nonsensical and at the time I had Just joined a survival forum and uh uh Barry satoro had just been elected President All right and and that's what I was Angry about so That's how the name happened yeah Well you know well hey guys uh on a more Serious note some scary scary stuff Going on with these uh Power Station uh I don't even know if vandalism is the Right no that's their their attacks These are infrastructure attacks Um you know the the left in this country Uh since January of last year likes to Throw the term Insurrection around its Insurrection uh I don't know how you
Have an Insurrection though and one side Shows up with no guns that's that's not An Insurrection but Beside that point we are actively and Very deeply in the middle of a hybrid Insurrection in this country so a hybrid Insurrection is State actors working in Consort with non-state actors Now as soon as I say State actors all Kinds of things come to mind but the First thing that should come to mind for Everybody right now are the Twitter Files that Elon Musk is releasing where We're seeing all this epic collusion in The Department of Justice and and in our Own intelligence apparatus being Weaponized against the United States Well there's foreign actors doing the Same thing Russia and China are here anybody who Thinks they're not is out of their mind Iran is here North Korea is here Everybody is here everybody who wishes To do us ill is here so There's a there's a lovely book that was Written years ago called Spetsnaz I Think it was suvarov I think was his Name but if you look up Spec's Nash you Can find the book Um and he was the highest affecting KGB Asset at the time to Everest affect the United States and he laid out Russia's Plan of how they were how they would Attack the United States and there's
White pink and red phases to their Assault and we are firmly in what Superov would describe as the pink face That's where They started some limited direct action Work and and now it's advancing so you Remember all the food facilities that Burned over 100 they're still occurring Yes yeah that is that is directly of a Russian's Playbook of making Infrastructure Um outages look like happenstances or Accidents well You know all right once is is one thing Twice is the beginning of a pattern You know or they say twice as a Coincidence and three is the beginning Of a pattern I don't believe in Coincidences so I see something like That happen once I see it happen again To me it's already I'm seeing a pattern And so I start watching and we watch Them just it's just cascading You know these things just keep going And going and going and they're always Under bizarre circumstances the most Bizarre circumstances well you can't Fight if you're hungry And this is true so they prepped us all Year long with food shortages food Shortages food shortages are coming Um but what they didn't say is they're Not coming till next year so they're Coming in 2023
That's when we're going to be having Problems the most problems we've been Having a lot of problems we're having Even more Um you know Ukraine isn't is thankfully at least Getting some grain out of the country Um I can't remember How many 15 million tons or something was Exported last month or something like That because folks don't realize that Ukraine is the Bread Basket of the world They feed Africa right really that's Where a lot of it goes I think a lot of People don't have a clue about that no We're aware of the the they don't Where's your food is coming from no well No and and we don't everybody thinks you Know meat comes in a styrofoam package And cellophane wrap the grocery store if They had to go get it themselves number One they don't possess the skill set or Knowledge number two they don't have the Intestinal fortitude probably do what it Takes to get that meal you know Um and if they did you know if we were In that deep of a food crisis would be Like the Great Depression where it was a Big deal it was used to say that Somebody's seen a deer yeah early 1900s Around the depression 30s and around That yeah white-tailed deer were nearly Extirpated from the Eastern United
States they did not exist he's in the Mississippi it and the population at That time now in my book Decline and Decay Alan K and I wrote a non-fiction Book called decline of the case Strategies for surviving the coming Unpleasantness I go into that very point In very much detail breaking down the Population the differences I think it Was 43 million people in the U.S then Were 350 million people now if 30 Million people Just the population in the East and a Half of the U.S which was the bulk of it Back then was still but if that many People could dry dry clean the landscape Of game what do we think 340 million People today wow it's not enough there And and the fact there are more firearms In this country than our people so what We're going to be seeing is we're going To see a lot of animals Livestock in Particular because cattle easy to walk Up to and shoot they don't run they Don't try to hide they got none of those Instincts we're going to be seeing dead Livestock dead deer Dead game where Someone managed to jaggedly hack off a Piece of this animal to take home to eat That day because they don't know what to Do with the rest of the damn thing right They don't know how to serve it well They don't know how to dress it gut it Cut it up or to do it let alone preserve
It yeah before we even get to that Park They don't even know how to take that Animal apart so we're gonna see a lot of Wasted animals and that's going to Happen and then if if we're in a true Collapse style event you know within six Months You won't see animals you won't see cats And dogs you're not going to see birds Or squirrels or rabbits or turtles or You're not going to see anything it will Be gone so this idea of I'm going to go Hunt and support my family because I'm a Good Hunter and I'm gonna go do all that Stuff uh you're you're probably not you Know I want to I want to redirect our Conversation just a little bit I'm gonna Just play Devil's Advocate yeah if you Will Chris so ah conspiracy theorists Conspiracy theorist no it's just uh That's just a random attack on that Power station how would you answer that Well we've been seeing a few of these Um Adversaries know That it's overburdened Um and having spent a career in the Power generation industry I got unique Insight I know what I'm talking about There But the incident that happened in more North Carolina what people don't realize Is is there's a a huge Special Forces
Presence in Moore North Carolina it's Home for Special Forces Group there's Also a bunch of other Secret Squirrel Kind of folks in that town there's also A lot of retired SF in that town I mean You you can't swing a dead cat there Without hitting somebody with a Green Beret or a green Bray hanging on the Wall of the house like they're they're Everywhere What the media tried to come out and say Is that they attack and more North Carolina was in protest against the drag Queen event And there were some photos released you Guys remember seeing the gates pulled Down stuff like that In those photos there were those photos And there was photos that came out after That photos that came out after that had Police cars and fire trucks and power Company trucks and all these flashing Lights and stuff in them but there's First photos that we saw None of that was there This photo is released by a female Left-wing activists so how did she know Which two substations were hit and to Get there and take pictures of them Yeah Secondly The attack happened after the drag show The drag show was over so we know Whoever did it uh disabled security
Cameras at both locations so that shows Some operations That shows a level of operational Capacity that's that's pretty telling And then they they actually struck the Transformers the hits at both Substations have haven't simultaneous They went down at the same time I did Not know that but there's a lot a lot of People don't know they issued seven Sealed warrants in this case last week Too I did hear that why are they sealed This is just a that's the first question Of things right yes vandalism and then The one in Washington when it happened How did they report that one how did the Media if they reported they reported That the substation had been burglarized That's what the media said the Substation had been fertilized Yeah So you know we we know that the Infrastructure is is Antiquated Overburdened outdated and they're Learning it is extremely vulnerable most Transformers they're made from it might Be eighth inch mild steel plate they're Not thick you know maybe 3 16 of an inch Quarter tops been a while since I've Seen one split open but we used to they Used to blow up we shouldn't we deal With them but Um quarter inch tops of mild plate steel So aars are going to shoot through it
AKs m4s you know anything else and Anything above a 22 long rifles putting Holes in yeah so easily uh 62 grain Green tip side all day long all day long And and all you gotta do is get holes in Them because they're full of mineral oil Get the oil level to drop low and up to The heat rises they will Plus in a direct fire attack like this Was where they were drinking fire on the Transformers they probably shorter coils Inside of them and did all kinds of Stuff that those things are pretty well Shot they'll be taken someplace and They'll try to rebuild them but they're Gonna be a lot of a lot of coils on wine To get the projectiles out of it so it Takes a while and you know and and those Transformers Typically take a year For the date they're ordered to even get Um most of them if it's a big substation You'll if you look at Maps you pay Attention you're driving around big Substations and power plants are always Built near railroads because you can't Move the Transformers on the road it's Too heavy they have to move The train and they're not made in the United States so they got to come in by Sea okay so they're made in Germany Um Taiwan Korea Japan so they've got to Be brought in oversea put on a train to Get to the site
And you're looking at a year year and a Half build time not even mentioning Transportation and the logistics of Moving this kind of stuff so these Aren't quick fixes And in the media they say it all the Time and I love how they they always Tell the bad guys what they need to do Six or eight key substations taken out Around this country put the entire place In darkness and they're right there's It's 12 but there's 12 of them you can Hit and you could knock the power out of The country now there would be Regional Power you know if you live near a power Plant you would probably have power but As far as getting it out to anybody uh The farther away you live from one the Longer you'd be in the dark so well back To Washington for a minute you made a Comment before we started recording this As far as you know the North Carolina Was fairly sophisticated but the one in Washington was more of a I think yeah You know because there was the one in California a couple years ago where they Hit a transfer they had a substation With a case Okay so we're seeing this so We can chalk it up to coincidence but I Stated earlier I don't believe in Coincidence so Um I believe the one in north and more North Carolina was specifically targeted At first group
Um and looking it was a probing attack Okay how are they going to respond what Are their capacities backup power those Sorts of things I think is what was Being said that's the next question Experiment so something that the Military's been doing that most people Don't know about is over the last Several years they have been going Around and building huge solar Farms on All the military bases massive solar Attacks Because they're building what they call Micro grids so when the solar Farms are Done and they're at capacity they will Probably disconnect the power of the Bases from the grid so they're isolated That does two things one they're not Reliant on the domestic power source and Number two an EMP And if an EMP or or CME were to occur Those are both Cumulative events so the more antenna You have the more signal you pick up and In this case if I signal we mean Actually amperage regenerating a load so Our power grid is the biggest antenna on The planet that stuff's tied in every Country it's wires hung through the air On insulators it's a perfect antenna so It's going to suck up lots of load and That's why things connected to the grid Will go up like I mean there will be all The books have it wrong even mine I
Didn't do it the fires the buildings That will be burning in houses that'll Be burning and the structures because These loads are going to come in and hit Them and hit all those appliances inside Of them and it's going to be The military anticipation of this are Building their own private microgrids That are solar based Puts all the wiring underground and EMP Protected protected not proof but Protect dryness so Um so they they're doing that not making It public but I've got a friend that's Been traveling the power plant or a Military bases all over the country put These big things in interesting so they See the problem with it so this is scary It's it's really it's frightening you're Mentioning things I didn't even think Think about the surges oh yeah homes and Buildings and things but we're not here To scare people but we want to but we Want people to know what's going on As to why but the real the real reason We were talking about this is to provoke Some thought so that our viewers can be Thinking about what can I do For myself my family my situation and That's where I'd kind of like to leave This discussion yeah and we don't mean Sell the house and move the boonies You've got to live life you know if if The bad day ever comes we're going to
Want these good days to look back on and To to you know to to reinforce our heart And our drive and be able to keep going But at the same time understand the Risks that exist in life and in the World and and do your part to mitigate Them for your family whatever that looks Like looks different for everybody Sitting here sure you know yeah well I Mean Denny there's a handful of options Available to people like Chris has Mentioned solar several times there's Portable solar there's power stations Right down to solar powered devices you Know which we've been sending a bunch of Just simple things like lighting and Whatnot yeah and we had a little stove Center so when you're burning wood in Generating power yeah and stuff like That so yeah there's there's I like what Chris said though everybody's needs are Different yeah so there's a bunch of Options you know we got a propane Generator sent to us it's only a Thousand Watts it's nothing crazy but The guy who built them built them so you Could put wire them in series no there You go so nice instead and they're only 500 bucks or so really so and they run Off like your barbecue team yeah 25 Pound bottle yeah even the smaller ones Yeah yeah like a little Coleman box but The idea was is like say the person Doesn't have whatever ten thousand
Dollars to go out and do a whole home Generator blah blah and about one they Got 500 bucks buy another one but you Know before you know what they've got 5kw of power which is we're talking About temporary solutions right yes we Are we're talking about interim Solutions intern short term Um because a little generator like that A thousand watt you look at you think a Thousand Watts Ah that's that's nothing In our life right now correct but in a Life where there is no power A little bit of power there's a lot of a Car battery is an immense amount of Power yeah if you have no power as long As you have the ability to utilize it But I Have something else though on that topic That's really interesting is that these Power stations and those small portable Ones have solar panels with them the Ones that have a smartphone app you'd be Surprised like right now the way the sun Is you'd be lucky if you got one or two Watts out of it oh yeah they it so if You go days without Sunshine yeah you're Not charging anything nope and even if You do have power I tell you late in the Afternoon I saw the solar panel up like This Chris just for the heck of it yeah It was like 20 watts power it was rated For 200. and I tipped it one inch and it Immediately spiked up to 80 Watts four
Times the power I think it's 24 degrees In Florida I think it's 24 degrees is The pitch you want for the optimum yeah Perfect well yeah our building codes Here for solar are pretty strict because Of hurricanes and stuff like that so 10 Degrees maximum declination for a solar Panel in the State of Florida mounted on The roof on a flat roof yeah it's either Ballasted or mounted yeah a lot of times They ballast them with blocks and stuff But if you go up north like you go to Upstate New York and stuff they're Pianos they move they tilt oh yeah oh You can get off here you get all the Trackers and stuff here too but in Florida we don't need trackers the sun's So good you get them on a 24 degree fish It's perfect in Florida that's where You're gonna get the the most juice During the day like you said coverage Like this you're not getting anything Nothing appreciable not at least yeah It's yeah so I think myself is that Depending on what people's means are is That they should have multiple things to Try and help them get through well There's a So everyone knows what the Tesla wall is And there's some cheap products like That out there the battery technology Has come so far now Um like I was looking at a system for my House it was sixty thousand dollars but
That system it had 19 KW of solar it Would have run my home by central air Every at home for three days with no Sunshine thanks wow off of lithium Batteries it would take three of these Units but it would run my house for Three days on average in the state state Of Florida just because I have a strong Background in construction and Commercial Roofing and stuff like that Um it's about 30 000 for a PV system That'll run your entire house so the Photovoltaic cells and it's about Another thirty thousand for the Tesla Wall yeah you know so that you've got Backup and You know we're going to go political Here for a second but when Um we got hit with Hurricane Matthew There was an emergency legislative Session and Duke and FPL lobbied the Rick Scott admin to put in emergency Rules that said you have to have a Battery backup for your solar system If you have a Generac generator and you Know he knows more about power than I do But when the grid goes down there's a Disconnect switch it flips automatically Boom you're running on your Generac when It senses the grids back up again it Flicks the switch back over after it Shuts off the generator everybody's safe That switch has been mandatory the Afford a building code for eons okay
Automatic transfer switch exactly but That emergency legislative session the Fbl and Duke successfully lobbied you Know the Rick Scott admin to say oh If there's still a danger to line Workers they could get electrocuted so You have to have a battery backup system To simulate the grid being up they Effectively doubled the cost of stolen Wow so to this day right now in Florida If you don't have battery backup you've Got PV solar system and grid goes down You are not allowed to run at the State Of Florida Now I thought that was only I know that was her battery backup I Know the solar panels had to be Disconnected that solar panel disconnect Been around forever the legislation that Changed during Matthew now states that If you want to run your soul or during a Grid down situation Have a battery backup to simulate the Grid being up because it was a safety Issue which is croca you know No wonder solar Edge Um inverters is going out of business Because they're a They're a inverter that requires line Voltage they're they're a grid tie Inverter okay but they're going out of Business Because somehow folks I got a buddy That's what he does for a living is he
Installed so he was going to do the one In my house mine was going to be the Meter was going to be on my house okay We're gonna be no wires come off the Bottom because you have to have the Meter in the State of Florida because You can't live off grid so all right I'm Paying the 15 for the meter just sitting That that socket right there's nothing Coming off of it yep that light bill Will never be more than 15 because I'm Not burning a kilowatt of your power Um but yeah it's there's ways around it And none of us can be self-sufficient Those who try to say they are they're Not you know Um again going back to the climate Decay We talk about hunting we can go into That again look at what your when your Average Buddy says he's going hunting What she's doing he's hooking up uh you Know a hundred thousand dollar truck to A hundred and twenty thousand dollar Fifth wheel forty thousand dollars side By side or or Twenty ten twelve thousand Dollar four-wheeler back there you know He's got a two thousand dollar rifle He's got a bunch of hunting clothes he Didn't produce make any of this Himself right none of it and he's he's Gonna go spend five or six dollars in Fuel to go someplace to kill an animal That he's then going to take to a Processor and he might be paying for at
Least to hunt on he's probably paying For the lease too and then he's gonna Pay a processor to give him packaged Meat he's going to come home and call Himself a hunter That's that's not a hunter that's that's Not hunting yeah I don't you know and I'm not poo-pooing or hunting guys I Like to hunt sport it is sports sport Um and there's still challenge to it but But going out and having all this top Grade gear and all this stuff it's great I like it too but let's be honest about What it is that's not hunting the Hunting that people will be doing Um you know hopefully not in the very Near future but but it's going to be a Different kind of hunting huh Um it's not going to look like Traditional hunting by any stretch of The imagination so a spotlight some Pickup trucks I think in that future I Want to back up just a little bit and Just talk about Educate me a little bit help me out a Little bit think about this I'm seeing Like different tiers of preparedness for Lack of having That so can you can we just talk about Some small temporary solutions to get You by maybe during a power outage Hurricane whatever and versus a couple Tiers up and how that would work and What you guys
What you guys would do for yourselves or Or maybe are doing for yourselves to be Prepared Well I mean mine starts down with like Uh it's not it's like a Gold's ear like A gold Zero Yeti or a jackery little one Of those units I've got one of those so In the middle of the night if the power Goes out I don't get up and go start Generators and all that crap anymore I Get that thing and I plug the fan of my Bedroom into it because I need that White noise or I don't sleep I go back To bed now if it's August and it's a Million degrees outside all right I'm Getting up I'm getting the generator up I'm getting things going because that's My temporary power system system Solar powered I used to have a portable Solar power station that all fits up a Cargo trailer it used a sewn in battery Bank made in Germany and I had all the Panels and everything a 50 amp plug I Could hook it to my house and run my House after the storm I thought they ran My shop for a long time powered my shop Until I finally ran with real power out There but there are ways to do it but You got to remember that even that Is still in turn it's a little bit Longer term but solar panels are only Good for like 10 years and you got to Replace it so After 10 years are they still going to
Work a little bit yeah you're still Going to get something out of them only 10 years your batteries are the same way Yeah all right so unless you're storing Lead acid batteries dry on the Shelf With an electric light beside them where You can charge up these batteries when The day comes it's still short term Because it's going to run out it's like You know you could have 10 years worth Of food store that's great as long as It's less than a 10 year Thing you're living through if it's 11 Years you're screwed you know if you you Know I got a Year's worth of food I got To use it I'm like that's awesome what Are you gonna do on day 366 what are you Gonna eat what's playing Um they buy seed vaults for these Companies and I ate If you sell these I'm sorry I'm not Saying everybody's ripping people off But they're ripping people off I mean You're gonna buy these seeds in a number 10 can you don't know what variety they Are you don't know what zone they're Designed to grow in you know you know if They'll grow in your Zone you're going To buy this thing you're going to throw It in the back of the closet you're Gonna be like okay well the bad thing Happens I'm gonna plant a garden and I Can feed my family and then I'll go Hunting I'm good to go
Um just like you don't pick up a rifle And become a marksman you don't pick up A shovel and become a gardener right Yeah these are all skills that we we've Got to learn and maintain proficient in Or they will atrophy Die and go away so yeah it's not fun in Normal life that's you know to try to Attend guards and deal with livestock And come out here and do security Training and do all the crap that we've Got to do Would it be more fun to build a beach Someplace right But but once you know that all these Things are a possibility personally I'm The guy like I don't let me calling my Pants down now I'm not I'm not like You know super high elevated ready to go Any minute like always looking around I've got friends like that and I feel Bad for them because they're not living Life yeah you know life's meant to be Lived not endured and in my opinion some Of my buddies are enduring their lives Waiting for the thing to happen that's Pro that may never happen I mean you Know that's a really good Points like that as well A little too much worry going on if You're working this hard to to to to Save your life you know or whatever it Is What do you say
