00:00:00
They know whoever controls water controls life.
00:00:04
That's why Bill Gates is now the largest farmland owner in America.
00:00:08
It's not about the land, it's about the water rights.
00:00:12
That's why they're poisoning municipal water supplies while buying up aquifers.
00:00:17
In 26 years at Detroit Water and Sewer Ridge, I learned water treatment inside and out.
00:00:23
But more importantly, I learned what happens when you can't trust the tap.
00:00:28
In the 2027 convergence, water becomes a weapon.
00:00:32
Smart meters that shut off your supply for wrong think or wrong behavior.
00:00:37
Contamination that forces dependency on their solutions.
00:00:41
This is Question Everything.
00:00:43
I'm Dave D., and today I'm teaching you water chemistry that could save your life, not just from thirst, but from control.
00:00:53
Because when they make you beg for water, they own you completely.
00:01:00
Why water first?
00:01:02
Think about it.
00:01:03
You can survive 3 weeks without food, three days without water.
00:01:09
But it's not just about survival.
00:01:11
It's about sovereignty.
00:01:14
Because the powers that be, or the people in control, or people fighting for control, understand that if you control water, you control population movement.
00:01:25
If you control water, you can control health.
00:01:28
And if you control water, you can control compliance.
00:01:34
The thought-provoking question is, what won't you do when your children are thirsty?
00:01:41
Now, for myself, I've been working for 26 years treating water professionally, although now I'm retired.
00:01:49
And so over these years of, you know, study and
00:01:53
practical experience, I came to understand contamination at a molecular level.
00:02:00
So I have an idea of what works versus what's just marketing hype.
00:02:07
Often I can identify problems before you even see the symptoms.
00:02:13
And a thought-provoking question is, why do smart water chemists avoid tap water?
00:02:20
It was something that I couldn't handle anymore.
00:02:23
The tap water is just not what's up.
00:02:26
Now let's think a bit about the three water threats coming.
00:02:32
First threat is infrastructure collapse.
00:02:37
Now the infrastructure in the United States, I know a lot of it needs some upkeep or needs some work because they tend to go over the
00:02:49
projected lifespan of a lot of the equipment, pipes, pumps, things of that nature.
00:02:56
It's just something that's been going on in the country for years.
00:03:00
They've been neglecting the preventative maintenance and the change of a lot of the pipes.
00:03:10
Number 2 is weaponization.
00:03:13
They're planning on bringing in smart meters.
00:03:17
which will give them control of the access people may have to water, electricity.
00:03:24
I think right now they're pushing the smart electric meters.
00:03:30
They claim that they're more efficient, but to me, they appear to be just another control mechanism.
00:03:38
Number 3 is deliberate contamination, where they could possibly make you sick and maybe even sell you the cure.
00:03:45
Hopefully,
00:03:47
things like that don't happen.
00:03:48
I'm not hoping for this type of stuff, but we have to be aware of the possibilities that these people may employ these type of things to control the population.
00:04:01
And it wouldn't be like they've never done it before.
00:04:05
The thought-provoking question is, are you prepared for any of these threats?
00:04:12
Moving along, let's talk about part one, when the taps stop running.
00:04:17
They have something called the 72-hour rule, in which you have to understand about most people, even if you think about yourself.
00:04:25
Most people just, they do not, they only have less than three days of water on store, on hands, or stored up.
00:04:35
And that's on average.
00:04:37
And city dwellers have it even worse, because most of them might have 24 hours worth of water stored.
00:04:45
And the problem is when the taps stop running, panic often starts within hours, just for the very reason that people just don't have water stored away.
00:04:55
People, we've become complacent with just having water available whenever we want it.
00:05:05
And by tape, after the first day, by day two, people will start doing desperate things if they start getting thirsty for water.
00:05:14
And by day three, you could have complete social breakdown because it only takes about 3 days without water for people to lose it because most people don't have any water stored.
00:05:29
We're just so used to just turning the tap on whenever we want it.
00:05:34
The thought-provoking question is, how much water do you have on hand right now?
00:05:39
Stop and think about that because
00:05:42
Just because we get complacent, we become accustomed to having water on tap whenever we want, it doesn't mean that cannot change pretty fast at just a moment's notice.
00:05:59
Now let's talk a little bit about what causes grid down water scarcity.
00:06:04
You could have a power failure because you have to understand that most of the pumps
00:06:10
They need electricity, especially if you're in a place where water needs to be pumped.
00:06:16
Now, in the area I'm in, metro Detroit area, the water usually flows by gravity, but at certain points in the water table, they'll have lift pumps which can lift the water back up so it can continue to flow by gravity wherever it has to go.
00:06:36
Also, you have cyber attacks because
00:06:40
A lot of the water treatment facilities work on a SCADA system, and SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems.
00:06:50
And what that does is basically an electronic control system whereby you can monitor, you know, water flows in a plant or in the water system and control it all by this SCADA system.
00:07:08
We had one when I was at the chlorination dechlorination facility at the wastewater treatment plant in the Detroit area.
00:07:18
So I'm pretty familiar with them.
00:07:21
Another thing that can occur, which may not, may or may not be the result of nefarious actors is a EMP, which stands for an electromagnetic pulse.
00:07:36
Or
00:07:37
even a solar flare, which is a naturally occurring thing with the sun.
00:07:42
And they've been known to kick out, big electromagnetic pulses.
00:07:46
And what those tend to do is they can fry electronic devices.
00:07:53
And if it's severe enough, it could lead to an instant stone age, unless you have some of your devices in what they call a Faraday cage, which can prevent EMPs from
00:08:06
frying your electronics.
00:08:10
Another thing that could be a problem is an economic collapse.
00:08:13
Now that these don't happen often, but one that this severe would cause problems.
00:08:20
And it could be really a problem if it's an extended for an extended point, your period of time.
00:08:30
where the workers may even abandon the plants if they feel they have to go home to protect their homes or protect their families.
00:08:39
So that sounds like it's, seems like it would be a rare occurrence, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
00:08:47
It's A non-zero probability of it happening, which means that this is something that's possible, even if it's not probable.
00:08:56
Also,
00:08:57
You may have a situation where there's a deliberate shutdown, which, that's something else that's not probable, but it's better to be prepared for something like this than where it's just to be a victim of circumstances.
00:09:15
It could also be a weapon of compliance enforcement.
00:09:19
If people start to rebel or people start to demonstrate and it gets out of hand,
00:09:26
this is something these people could use to quell riots.
00:09:31
It's just turn off the water.
00:09:35
Think about that.
00:09:36
You have to, you know, in order to be prepared, you have to be prepared for as many situations as you can predict.
00:09:44
And sometimes, you know, even if you don't prepare for a specific situation, just the process of going through, preparing for
00:09:56
some situations will have you more prepared for a situation that you didn't prepare for specifically because it's going to stir up your creative juices.
00:10:08
And the thought-provoking question is, which of these scenarios is most likely to happen in your area?
00:10:16
Now I want to talk a little bit about municipal system vulnerability.
00:10:22
And experts
00:10:24
tend to believe that your average water system has over 300 points of failure.
00:10:30
So that seems to be a lot.
00:10:33
Even if you're talking about a big water system or even a medium-sized water system, that's a lot of vulnerability.
00:10:43
And another thing you may want to consider is that experts often think that most cities have less than 24 hours of backup power.
00:10:53
which could cause problems as well.
00:10:58
Because when you think about water treatment plants, they often, most of them don't have, weeks and weeks worth of chemical treatment chemicals on hand.
00:11:08
And a lot of them would run out of chemical in three to five days.
00:11:14
Also, if you have a pressure loss in your water system, it could mean contaminated backflow if they don't have check valves.
00:11:24
And depending on the size of your water line, it may not even be, they may not even have the ability to have a check valve.
00:11:33
And once the water's contaminated, it could take days to weeks or even longer to restore safety, or maybe even longer.
00:11:42
If you think about a situation like a Flint, where it took them years to get that water system together.
00:11:49
In my research, I found that they finally
00:11:52
changed out all the, or not over 90% of the lead containing pipes, in their freshwater system.
00:12:02
Before that, it was a ugly situation.
00:12:05
I think most people are familiar with it.
00:12:08
but, imagine if you were living in that type of situation.
00:12:12
I mean, that's really ugly.
00:12:15
And the thought-provoking question is, does your city have a backup plan?
00:12:20
You may want to go to your city's website or give your water supply company a call in your area and start asking some of these questions so that you are more aware of the things you may need to do to prepare for a case of when the water may not be available to you.
00:12:43
Let's move on to part 2, sourcing water when infrastructure fails.
00:12:50
What you want to do is you want to look around, this goes for urban as well as rural water settings.
00:12:58
But as far as urban water sources, since most people live in an urban area, we'll talk about some of the sources for water that you may overlook.
00:13:08
And one of those is your hot water heater.
00:13:11
Because in your hot water tank, it's going to hold actually around 40 to 80 gallons of water.
00:13:18
And a lot of people in a grid down type of situation, they don't stop to think about that.
00:13:23
But, that's a lot of water and storage for you.
00:13:29
Also, people don't think about the toilet tanks, not the toilet bowl that you use, but the back tank that holds the water, for when you want to flush it.
00:13:41
Now those, they hold around anywhere from 3:00 to 5:00 gallons.
00:13:47
Then swimming pools, some people may not think about it.
00:13:50
I don't think most people have a swimming pool.
00:13:52
But if you do, you can fill it up with water and it can hold, usually thousands of gallons of water that you have that you may not even be aware of.
00:14:04
You'll probably have to treat it if you want to use it, especially if you have, your swimming pool chemicals in it, like chlorine or something like that.
00:14:14
because you probably wouldn't want to just drink straight.
00:14:18
pool water that's been treated with a lot of chlorine, but if you filter it or something, then you could probably drink it.
00:14:29
Then you also have rain gutters in collection like that where you collect rainwater.
00:14:35
One thing you have to be aware of is whether or not that's legal in your area, but in a grid down situation, it may be something that can save you.
00:14:45
Also, do collection techniques.
00:14:49
Even dehumidifiers, they can draw water out of the air.
00:14:53
Now, usually the water is not the cleanest, but you may want to filter that as well.
00:15:00
It's not going to be as dirty as gray water or something like that.
00:15:04
But that's another source, especially if you're in a situation where you may lose
00:15:13
access to the water, but not to electricity.
00:15:17
And the thought-provoking question is, have you mapped and identified water sources in your area?
00:15:26
You'll also want to do a natural source of water assessment in your area.
00:15:32
Now, you might be lucky if you live near rivers and streams, but you have to assume that those are contaminated.
00:15:39
So you'll have to have some type of water purification
00:15:43
ability to be able to actually safely drink water from rivers and streams.
00:15:52
Same thing with lakes and ponds, but you want to be careful and be aware that stagnant water usually means more pathogens as opposed to water that's running.
00:16:05
And if you live near spring, you're probably pretty lucky because those are
00:16:09
probably among your best options if you can find them or if they're, close to you.
00:16:16
Some people have wells.
00:16:18
This is more of a often a rural type of thing, but with a well, if it's if you have an electric pump, that's great.
00:16:27
But if the power goes out, you'll want to have a manual pump backup.
00:16:35
And also as far as
00:16:37
pump, you want to make sure you keep enough water to prime the pump if necessary.
00:16:42
Most people, if you have a pump, I mean, if you have a well, you're most likely aware of that.
00:16:49
That you all, you know, whenever you get the wells of running, you're going to need enough water to prime the pump so you can get the suction going, the capillary action.
00:17:01
Now, if you live near the ocean,
00:17:03
people think, hey, I live near the ocean.
00:17:05
That's a lot of water.
00:17:06
Yeah, it is, but you just can't drink that stuff straight, out of the ocean because it's literally brine, which means it's salt water.
00:17:15
It's so salty.
00:17:17
And to drinking that stuff will probably be close to you just taking a thing of, you know, more than salt and just trying to, you know, drink from that.
00:17:26
because it's really, really salty.
00:17:28
And for you to actually purify that, you most likely require distillation.
00:17:35
And the thought-provoking question is, what's your nearest natural water source?
00:17:42
Now we're going to talk a little bit about the chemistry of contamination and some of the types of contamination you'll encounter with your water.
00:17:54
First, we can talk a little bit about biological contamination, where you have bacteria, viruses, parasites, spores, fungi, prions.
00:18:06
And a prion is basically like an infectious DNA particle.
00:18:10
These are some of the things that could be in the water, especially if you have to source it from somewhere besides the tap.
00:18:20
But you do have parasites and things in your tap water.
00:18:25
So don't be fooled.
00:18:27
The chlorine will kill a lot of the pathogens, but not all of them.
00:18:32
And one of the things that the chlorine can't kill is called cryptosporidium, which is a relatively big microbe, but it can cause sickness and it's not killed by chlorine.
00:18:47
Then you have chemical contamination of the water.
00:18:51
with such things as industrial runoff, from various manufacturing plants or processing plants or any type of industrial type of facility.
00:19:06
And also pesticides, if you're talking about farm runoff, pesticides, fertilizer, things of that nature.
00:19:17
Then you have to, one of the things they monitor
00:19:20
we used to monitor is heavy metals because heavy metals can be very detrimental to your health.
00:19:28
Things like lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, cadmium.
00:19:35
None of these things are good for you.
00:19:40
If you get filters, you need to make sure they can filter these things out.
00:19:44
But you'll want to look in your specific area to see exactly what type of contaminants
00:19:50
are in the water in your area.
00:19:54
So you can make sure that whatever filtration or whichever water purification method you use can remove the majority of the contaminants that you will be faced with.
00:20:08
Then you have radiological contamination, which is a lot more common than most people think, where you have radioactive materials in your water.
00:20:18
Now, some of them are naturally occurring like radium, uranium, and radon.
00:20:25
something to be aware of.
00:20:27
I'm not sure if you actually would need to get your Geiger counter out to examine your water.
00:20:37
Then you have pharmaceutical contamination from things like birth control, antidepressants, statins, these types of things in the water.
00:20:48
which, you don't want to be medicated based on, the water you're drinking.
00:20:55
The thing about it, each one of these contaminants requires a different treatment approach.
00:21:02
So the thought-provoking question is, can your filter handle all these types of contaminants?
00:21:10
Let's move on to part three, which is about purification methods, the chemistry truth.
00:21:17
Now let's talk about boiling.
00:21:21
Now what boiling does now, it does kill most biologicals, but the problem is that it would have a tendency to concentrate the chemicals in the water because you're going to be boiling off water, it's going to concentrate, you know, the clean water is going to go off and for the most part, most of the chemicals aren't just going to boil off.
00:21:43
Also,
00:21:44
boiling your water does not remove heavy metals.
00:21:48
And because the concentrate is going to concentrate those chemicals, it's going to actually make your heavy metals contamination of your water even worse.
00:21:56
And another consideration you may want to have is that it will tend to waste fuel that you might need for other purposes, especially if you're in a cold environment, you may need heat.
00:22:06
If you're wasting your fuel on limits, especially if it's limited fuel on boiling water, you may not have it
00:22:14
to keep yourself warm.
00:22:17
And another consideration you need to have is remember that at altitude, higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures, which means that it's going to be less effective for sterilizing or disinfecting your water.
00:22:33
Because, you know, at sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade.
00:22:44
So that's a consideration you need to have.
00:22:47
So if you're at a higher altitude, you're going to need to boil your water for a longer period of time, which leads to the recommendation that they give that you'll need to have your water at a rolling boil for one minute at sea level, but 3 minutes for above 6,500 feet of elevation.
00:23:10
And the thought-provoking question is, how long can you boil water with your fuel supply?
00:23:18
Now we can talk a little bit about chemical purification and what they don't tell you.
00:23:24
Now you can use chlorine to kill most of the pathogens in the water.
00:23:29
And you know, they recommend you use 8 drops of bleach per gallon and then wait at least 30 minutes for the chlorine to
00:23:38
to effectively kill pathogens in the water.
00:23:42
But you have a problem with bleach because, especially with the bleach storage, because it degrades over time.
00:23:52
And they say that it loses about 50% of its strength after about six months of being stored.
00:24:02
Now iodine also works, but it could cause a problem because
00:24:08
It may cause thyroid issues with long-term use.
00:24:11
So it's something you got to be careful of.
00:24:16
Chlorine dioxide also works.
00:24:18
They say it's the best thing to use, actually, because it's less toxic than chlorine itself.
00:24:24
But it's going to require thorough mixing.
00:24:28
But the problem with using these types of chemicals is that they can kill the biologicals, but they do not remove chemicals or heavy metals.
00:24:36
So that's a weakness.
00:24:38
of using chemicals for water purification.
00:24:42
And the thought-provoking question is, when did you last check the expiration date on your bleach?
00:24:49
So let's talk a little bit about filtration, water filtration, the real science of it.
00:24:57
Now, most filters, they're going to have a micron rating.
00:25:03
And so you need to know a micron is what, a millionth of a
00:25:07
a meter.
00:25:10
So when you're talking about pathogens, a filter that will filter out bacteria will have a 0.1 micron pore size.
00:25:19
And a pore is just a hole in the, you know, how much you can filter, just the holes in the filtration media.
00:25:27
So for it to filter out bacteria, it's going to have to have a smaller than 0.1 micron pore size.
00:25:35
But for viruses, it's going to be 0.01 microns to remove viruses.
00:25:44
And as far as activated charcoal or activated carbon, that's to remove chemicals and mostly for taste.
00:25:53
It can remove a lot of things that may not taste great in the water.
00:25:58
Now, you also have ceramic filters, and they're great for longevity and their cleanability.
00:26:05
but they're not really ideal for removing chemical contaminants, because I don't think they have that absorption type of ability, like something like activated carbon or activated charcoal.
00:26:17
Well, charcoal is really carbon.
00:26:22
Also, you have reverse osmosis filters, and they remove virtually everything from the water.
00:26:30
For some of these reverse osmosis
00:26:35
filters, they have a tendency to waste a lot of water.
00:26:37
I think with some of the modern ones, I don't think they waste as much water.
00:26:40
So they've been improving the technology.
00:26:43
But reverse osmosis and distillation are probably some of your best water purification methods.
00:26:53
But you have to understand that no single filter will remove every contaminant.
00:26:58
That's why you have to be aware of what contaminants are
00:27:02
in your local area, in the water in your area, that way you can, judge, how effective the filter you select or the water filters you're looking at to see which one will serve your particular application the best.
00:27:27
The thought-provoking question is, do you know your filter's actual capabilities?
00:27:32
That's something you don't really need to know.
00:27:36
You'll want to know what type of contaminants are in the water in your area, and then you'll want to know how your filter stacks up with removing those contaminants.
00:27:49
Now let's talk a little bit about water distillation, which is the gold standard for water purification.
00:27:56
The thing about distillation is it removes virtually everything except volatile organic compounds.
00:28:02
And those are compounds that have a very low vapor pressure.
00:28:07
So they tend to be gases and dissolved in the water.
00:28:13
But there are more methods to remove those as well.
00:28:17
Usually, I think they use
00:28:19
activated charcoal filters to, polish that, the water.
00:28:25
And it also can help get rid of those volatile organic compounds.
00:28:29
We used to measure them at Detroit Water when I was there.
00:28:37
Now, you can also build your own water distillation unit.
00:28:40
It can be done with a simple pot and copper tubing.
00:28:43
If you understand how it works, it's really pretty simple.
00:28:50
Some people, they recommend you can use solar stills for a no fuel option, which can work, but it will be pretty slow.
00:29:00
It will be slow.
00:29:02
Because the fastest way to boil the water is with, either gas or electric, if that's available.
00:29:09
But in a grid down situation, it may not be available.
00:29:12
And solar may be the only way you can go.
00:29:14
Or if you have a generator.
00:29:19
And then you may want to consider adding minerals back to your distilled water for health, because if you consume a lot of it, can lead to electrolyte imbalances if you drink, a lot of it.
00:29:35
But just be aware of that.
00:29:37
And the thought-provoking question is, can you build a steel from household items?
00:29:41
That's something you may want to look at.
00:29:44
You know, Google and see, you know, if you
00:29:48
If that's something you can do, if you're a do-it-yourself or type of person, just give it a shot.
00:29:57
Now let's move on to talk about UV purification.
00:30:00
UV stands for ultraviolet, which is light, and that's called a high-tech option.
00:30:08
And what it does, it can kill biologicals.
00:30:10
It'll kill just about all the pathogens because most of them are weak to ultraviolet light.
00:30:17
But the problem is it doesn't really get rid of the chemicals in the water.
00:30:22
And also it's going to require relatively clear water to work.
00:30:27
Because if you have particulates in the water, or if it has a high total dissolved solid content, you know, it makes the water will have a tendency to make the water cloudy.
00:30:37
And the turbidity or the cloudiness of the water
00:30:42
can absorb the UV light, which will reduce its effectiveness at disinfecting the water.
00:30:49
Another consideration with a UV purification is that it is electricity dependent.
00:30:55
And even if you have it where it runs on a battery, the battery is going to have a finite lifespan or capacity.
00:31:04
So you'll only be able to treat X quantity of water before
00:31:10
You're either going to have to change a battery out or recharge the battery or use your solar charger or whatever you have, and it's something to keep in consideration when we're talking about these types of situations.
00:31:23
In some of these devices, they have one called a SteriPen, which is S-T-E-R-I-P-E-N, a similar device.
00:31:32
I have a link to one of these instruments in the show notes.
00:31:39
that you can access by going to the website, questioneverything.online.
00:31:48
And the basic recommendation they make for the UV purification units is that they are good for traveling, but not so much for a grid down situation, unless it's part of an integrated plan that you have to purify your water because the UV is mostly for biologicals.
00:32:08
And the thought-provoking question is, what's your non-electric backup?
00:32:13
Or do you have some type of backup electric system that you can use?
00:32:23
Let's move along to part four and talk about the fluoride chloramine problem in your water.
00:32:30
One of the things we're going to talk about is why standard filters may fail.
00:32:35
The thing you have to keep in consideration is that fluoride works differently than other contaminants because it's a pretty small molecule.
00:32:44
It's pretty small, but it's also, it's just different.
00:32:49
And in order to remove it, you're going to have to either use an activated alumina-powered filter or a bone one with bone char in it.
00:32:59
And those are known to
00:33:02
to neutralize the fluorine in the water, the fluoride in the water, and or the chloramine.
00:33:08
Now, most filters do not remove fluoride effectively because of these properties that it has.
00:33:18
Now, as far as a Berkey filter, they have a Berkey with black elements, which is marginal at best, but it's not really designed to remove fluoride.
00:33:30
but more for microfiltration and absorption of other contaminants.
00:33:36
Now, if you actually want your Berkey to remove fluoride, they have what they call a PF2 fluoride filter that will remove 97 to 99.75% of the fluoride from the water.
00:33:50
But I guess the downside of this filtration unit is that it only has a capacity of up to 1000 gallons before you have to change it out.
00:34:01
And the thing you have to remember about removing fluoride from your water is that you will require specialized media that will remove it.
00:34:12
And for most of these filters, they're going to have a limited capacity for removing it.
00:34:20
So it's going to exhaust pretty quickly.
00:34:25
And the thought-provoking question is, has your filter been independently tested for fluoride removal?
00:34:31
That's something you're going to really want to know.
00:34:35
Now, as far as talking about fluoride, it's a very contentious and emotional issue with not a lot of people.
00:34:43
Some of the biggest arguments I get used to, or discussions, heated discussions I used to get into with my father when he was still around, is that between fluoridation of the water
00:34:55
and vaccination.
00:34:56
And fluoride was, a really contentious thing.
00:34:59
We used to go back and forth because I did all this research on it and, I just, I couldn't justify using it or, being exposed to it.
00:35:11
Now let's move on to talk about chloramine, which is a even a bigger challenge.
00:35:17
And get this, the chlorine, the chloramine is basically chlorine plus ammonia.
00:35:24
this kind of sounds insane.
00:35:27
Insane thing to actually put in your water for you to drink.
00:35:31
And the thing about chloramine is that it does not evaporate out of your water like chlorine.
00:35:36
If you take a glass of water with just chlorine in it and you just let it sit out for maybe 30 minutes to an hour or however long, maybe a couple of hours, the chlorine will eventually evaporate out of your water.
00:35:48
Whereas it's not the same thing with chloramine.
00:35:51
probably because the ammonia is, attached to it will make it a lot heavier.
00:35:58
And to remove chloramine, it's going to require catalytic carbon because the regular activated charcoal or carbon is not going to chemically neutralize it.
00:36:13
It also is going to your filter is going to need a longer contact time because the catalytic carbon actually reacts with the chloramine to neutralize it.
00:36:23
Also, vitamin C is said to neutralize it as well.
00:36:28
So if you're storing water in your bathtub or something or in a tank, they recommend you can put 1000 milligrams per bathtub in, you know, in the water in the bathtub to neutralize the chloramine.
00:36:44
which that's really not a lot if you think about it.
00:36:46
There's 1000 milligrams in a bathtub, and a bathtub holds maybe what, 50, 75 gallons of water, maybe even more.
00:36:58
And the thought-provoking question is, does your city use chlorine or chloramine?
00:37:03
You'll want to contact them to see which one they're using so you can
00:37:09
act accordingly to neutralize it or remove it from your drinking water.
00:37:15
Now let's talk a little bit about do-it-yourself fluoride removal.
00:37:19
Now as far as bone char, they say it can be made from animal bones.
00:37:23
I don't know if you'd want to actually take a bunch of animal bones and grind them up so you can make a filter that or remove the fluoride.
00:37:30
But I guess in a pinch it may be something you know you may want to consider.
00:37:35
But I'm not sure how many people are walking around with you know bags of bones around even if they're just animal bones.
00:37:45
The thing about activated alumina is it's great for filtration and it also can be recharged, which means that once it's filled up with whatever you're filtering out of it, you can backwash it to regenerate it.
00:38:03
And they have something called holy basil, which is also called tulsi, which also shows promise in removing fluoride.
00:38:10
And then you have
00:38:15
something called tamarind, which can also help your body detox fluoride out of it.
00:38:22
But you have to really understand and remember that only reverse osmosis or distillation will truly remove the fluoride from your water.
00:38:33
But that's something to consider.
00:38:36
And A thought-provoking question is, fluoride removal worth the effort?
00:38:40
You have to make that determination for yourself.
00:38:44
For me, I try to avoid tap water as much as I can, as far as for drinking, and I have a shower filter on the shower.
00:38:55
So you'll have to make those decisions for yourself.
00:39:00
Let's move on to part 5, which is storage strategies for collapse.
00:39:06
And then here's a container hierarchy.
00:39:09
Glass is by far the bestest, the most inert.
00:39:12
It's going to be the cleanest.
00:39:16
But the problem is, which we all know, is glass is very fragile.
00:39:20
The last thing you want to be or do in a grid down or a survival type of situation is for you to have a big glass bottle full of water, and then you drop it and break it, and then your water's gone.
00:39:34
That's a problem.
00:39:36
Next is food-grade plastic.
00:39:39
But make sure you watch out for BPA because BPA is not really good for you.
00:39:45
I'm not sure how many, if they still put it in water, plastic water bottles, but you have to make sure that yours don't have it.
00:39:54
Then you have stainless steel, which is good, but it's very expensive.
00:40:00
And they recommend that you never, ever use milk jugs because they have been designed to biodegrade.
00:40:06
So those are not going to be good for a long-term storage of water.
00:40:12
Now, some things that are good are 55-gallon drums, which is a bulk storage solution.
00:40:18
You know, 55 gallons is a lot of water.
00:40:22
But 55-gallon drum and you know your water is 8.34
00:40:28
pounds per gallon, that's going to be, over 400, around 450 pounds.
00:40:35
so you're going to need, either have to be in shape or you're going to have to have a drum truck or something like that, but it's still going to be really tough to get up and down stairs if you keep it in the basement or for you to move it around.
00:40:47
I used to move, you know, those 55 gallon drums around when I would handle different water treatment chemicals.
00:40:55
when I was working at the water department, so I was used to it.
00:40:59
But they can be a little unwieldy because, so keep that in mind.
00:41:07
If you're elderly, if you're just not that strong, that may be something, it's going to be a stationary type of thing.
00:41:14
And also you're going to want to get some type of pump, a manual pump or electric and or, well, manual pump backup and an electric pump.
00:41:22
if you don't want to be turning cranks, to pump the water out of your 55 gallon drum.
00:41:29
Now they have another storage option, which is called water bricks, which are stackable and portable.
00:41:36
They hold about, I think, 3 1/2 gallons per bottle, but you can stack them.
00:41:41
And they're made for stacking.
00:41:42
So that may be something because most people can pick up a, you know, a three or four or five gallon water bottle.
00:41:52
The thought-provoking question is, how will you move water if you must evacuate?
00:41:57
Because once again, you have to be aware that water is pretty heavy at around 8.34 pounds per gallon of water.
00:42:05
So if you're talking about 10 gallons, you're talking about 80 gallons, you know, over 80, 80 pounds that you got to move around.
00:42:17
which may point you towards getting water filtration types of things or a portable water filtration that is going to be better than nothing in a pinch.
00:42:29
Now let's talk a little bit about rotation of your water and treatment.
00:42:34
And one thing you have to keep in mind is that stored water doesn't really go bad, but the containers do have a tendency to go bad.
00:42:40
So that's something to keep in mind.
00:42:43
You also have to remember to add 8 drops of bleach per gallon of water for storage.
00:42:49
Or you can use water preserver, which will get your water to around a five-year shelf life.
00:42:56
You'll also want to make sure that you rotate your water every 6 to 12 months, ideally if you're storing tap water.
00:43:04
You also want to make sure you keep it in cool, dark places to try to minimize the
00:43:09
contamination, especially if it's a pathogenic contamination.
00:43:13
The thought-provoking question is, when did you last rotate your water?
00:43:17
So let's move on to calculating your real needs for water.
00:43:22
Now, the bare minimum is 1 gallon per person per day of water that you're going to need in a situation.
00:43:31
That's just a bare minimum.
00:43:33
That's just for basic drinking and hygiene, basic hygiene.
00:43:40
For your needs, you're also going to want to understand and remember that cooking is going to add another gallon per person per day that you're going to need.
00:43:50
And then for sanitation, that's going to add another two to three gallons per day to that 2 gallons you're already talking about.
00:43:57
And then you have to make sure you remember that your pets are going to need water too, depending on how many pets you have and how big they are.
00:44:07
Also, if you have people, people in the family or people that are going to be depending on you to have medical conditions, they may require even more water than just that.
00:44:17
So the thought-provoking question is, have you calculated your family's actual water needs?
00:44:22
So let's talk about part 6, water as a weapon, a control mechanism.
00:44:29
And let's talk a little bit about smart meters and the shutoff switch.
00:44:33
And you have to keep in mind now, I think right now if the smart meters have, are mostly for electricity, but I can foresee where they would actually want to have smart meters that control your water, your access to water.
00:44:48
And you have to be aware that a lot of cities already have smart meters installed.
00:44:55
So that's something that you're going to want to take into account.
00:44:59
Now, in my opinion, they use a lot of innocuous sounding reasons for installing these smart meters, but to me, they just seem like more big brother type of surveillance and also control of your access to things like electricity and water.
00:45:15
And with this type of technology, they can actually limit your usage or even cut it off entirely, you know, at their own whim.
00:45:24
Now, in China, you know, your usage of electricity
00:45:29
is tied to your social credit score, which of course they're going to, if you look at, analyze how they manage the social credit score system, it could be something they use for control of people.
00:45:44
And some people, think that they're going to bring the social credit here and tie it in with the central bank digital currencies to monitor people.
00:45:58
And that's a whole different situation or a whole different thing, the topic to talk about, the thing about the central bank digital currencies.
00:46:06
The thought-provoking question is, does your home have a smart meter?
00:46:10
If it does, you know, you might want to, you know, study some more things about it, because I don't have a good opinion of those smart meters.
00:46:22
Another thing you might want to look up or look into is
00:46:26
the phenomena of selective contamination.
00:46:29
Now, some people don't think Flint was a result of incompetence, and some people suspect that it may have been a test.
00:46:39
I'm not sure if I agree with that, but I definitely wouldn't put it past these people.
00:46:43
Now, one thing I was aware of as far as the whole water, the Flint water situation,
00:46:50
is that it was part of a strategy that the governor and a lot of other people used to wrest control of the Detroit Water Department from Detroit and to give it to other people.
00:47:02
And it pretty much worked.
00:47:03
They used the bankruptcy as a pretext to steal the water department from the city of Detroit, which they have been trying to do for a long time anyway.
00:47:14
They just finally got there, saw their opportunity to strike.
00:47:18
And one of the things they tried to do to cripple or take away the city of Detroit's water sewage department is to take, to get Flint off from being a customer of Flint, and they wanted it to be independent.
00:47:37
But meanwhile, you had these bureaucrats telling you, trying to go to
00:47:43
access to water from the Flint River, which was a problem because it had been defunct for so long.
00:47:48
And that's the whole reason why they just became a customer of the Detroit water system.
00:47:55
So they got cute, but all these pipes, the pipes were old and they were full of lead, had a lot of lead in them.
00:48:05
And so when they, plus the water that they were getting from that Flint River was acidic, so it was leaching the lead out of the
00:48:14
these old pipes, and that's what led to a lot of what happened with this Flint water crisis.
00:48:23
So you had these bureaucrats who had no understanding of science, the science of water treatment, and they were making decisions based on political and economic, you know, considerations more so than what was best for the people of Flint.
00:48:44
And that's the result.
00:48:45
When you have these bureaucrats just jumping on, they're looking at the dollars and cents over, the human cost because some of those children that were exposed to the lead will never recover because lead is known to be very harmful to children and their mental development.
00:49:05
So then you also had a test in Jackson, Mississippi with a water system.
00:49:13
situation.
00:49:14
Then they had one in East Palestine, Ohio.
00:49:17
These people were controlling the narrative of something.
00:49:19
If it's something you want to look into, you can go ahead and Google it.
00:49:24
Whereas sometimes some people suspect that these people can contaminate specific neighborhoods that they can choose.
00:49:31
I'm not sure if they have that ability, but I wouldn't put it past them.
00:49:36
But they've also been known to force relocation or compliance with
00:49:41
things that these people want to foist upon, their customers.
00:49:46
It can, this selective contamination, it can be used as a strategy for various purposes, none of which are just to serve the public.
00:49:54
And that's something else that we need to keep in mind.
00:49:58
And the thought-provoking question is, your area targeted for gentrification, which is a euphemism for them, you know, shipping you out, shipping you to somewhere else.
00:50:10
And we want to be cognizant of the Nestle's model, where with a company like Nestle is sale, is one of the biggest sellers of bottled water.
00:50:21
They seek to buy water rights during abundance, especially in a place like Michigan where you have the Great Lakes, which has, you know, most of the fresh water on the planet.
00:50:31
So they'll buy water rights, then they'll wait for scarcity or even, you know, attempt to create it, which is not out of the out of the realm of possibility.
00:50:40
and then sell the water back at massive profit.
00:50:43
If you look at how expensive bottled water is, it's extremely expensive in relationship to how much it costs to just bottle it.
00:50:55
So you have your, some people suspect that they're selling some parts of the Great Lakes to China.
00:51:03
You have the aquifer depletion accelerating.
00:51:07
So the thought-provoking question is who owns your local water rights and are they being sold to private interest?
00:51:13
Which some people are seeing this happening.
00:51:16
And it's something we need to stand up and 1st become aware of and then start to fight this because why would we sell our water rights, our sacred water rights?
00:51:27
Let's talk about part 7, community water solutions.
00:51:31
What you'll want is neighborhood cooperation.
00:51:35
You want to map swimming pools in your area.
00:51:37
I'm not sure if people are going to be, complying with that, but it's something that you may want to look into, you know, before you have a need, you know, for water.
00:51:49
You'll want to identify well owners in your area, especially if you're in a rural area.
00:51:52
I'm not sure how big wells are in urban areas.
00:51:56
You'll also want to maybe share purification equipment if you, know, once you find like-minded people.
00:52:04
You may also want to consider bulk buying of storage containers, because if you're talking about, storing enough water, you may, you're talking about 55 gallon drums, that's a lot of water.
00:52:17
And you also may want to look into skill sharing and just, you know, figure out who knows what so that you all may be able to barter services with one another.
00:52:27
You'll want to start finding like-minded people who are ready and willing to act, not people that just talk about it, but people that actually get things done and can actually work with you and help you be prepared for whatever's coming down.
00:52:40
And the thought-provoking question is, do your neighbors even think about this?
00:52:45
If you can find some that think like this, that you all could be assets to each other.
00:52:52
You'll want to look into rainwater harvesting systems.
00:52:56
You want to calculate your roof square footage times the rainfall to see how much water you can actually collect.
00:53:04
But you have to be careful and have first flush diverters because you don't want that first flush of water to be, you know, it's going to tend to have a high level of contamination.
00:53:19
You'll also want to examine your storage tank placement and mosquito prevention because the last thing you want to have is a
00:53:27
disease-carrying mosquitoes, proliferating in your area.
00:53:33
Now, one thing you got to keep in mind is that some states prohibit private collection of rainwater.
00:53:39
So you have to make sure you're familiar with your laws.
00:53:41
And you're also familiar with how to do it if it's a situation where you may need to not worry so much if it's, you know, depending on how critical the situation is, you might
00:53:53
still want to go ahead and collect the rainwater if that's your only or one of your few sources of water that you can actually use.
00:54:04
So also be aware that Colorado just legalized a private collection of rainwater after a century ban.
00:54:11
You know, I was wondering about why they would do that, but I did, so I did a little research on it.
00:54:16
What they had found is that
00:54:18
From time to time, you may, you might think of, just a little rainwater, but you have, say if you have somebody that has a lot of acres of water and they set up a whole water collection system, it can cause a problem for people downstream because they may be depending on the rainfall to either grow their crops or to take care of their animals.
00:54:41
And if you have somebody that's collecting, millions of gallons or 10s of thousands or millions of gallons of the rainwater that would, that naturally flows to their property, for their needs, then, and if you collect, they collect all the water before it gets to those people downstream, then they may have problems.
00:55:02
And I think that's the reason why they prohibited rainwater collection.
00:55:09
So the thought-provoking question is, rainwater collection legal where you live?
00:55:15
Let's talk a little bit about community wells.
00:55:19
So you may want to make sure you set up a hand pump installation while you can, if that's possible.
00:55:27
You know, even if you have an electric pump, you're going to make sure you want to make sure you still have a manual backup.
00:55:35
Now, some people have solar pumps for off-grid options, which, it can still get the electricity from the sunlight.
00:55:44
And you also will want, if you, adjacent to people that have wells, or if you all share a well, you'll want to set up well-sharing agreements in writing so that everybody understands, you know, what type of access people have, what type, you know, the amount of water they can pull.
00:56:03
from the so that you don't deplete the well.
00:56:07
And also, one thing you want to understand about wells is that the depth determines the contamination risk.
00:56:14
That's something to keep in mind.
00:56:16
And you'll also want to make sure that you test your well water regularly for changes to make sure that your water is clean.
00:56:24
And also, if it's not clean, you know which types of contaminants you need to remove so that you can select your water.
00:56:33
purification process so that it will be effective, will serve your needs.
00:56:40
And the thought-provoking question is, could your community drill a well?
00:56:45
This may be something you want to consider or you and your community may want to consider.
00:56:51
Now let's talk about part 8, biological threats in the water.
00:56:56
Here I see some of the diseases they don't mention.
00:57:01
cholera, which was, I think, one of the top 10 kilos of people around the turn of, the 1900s.
00:57:10
They say it's coming back globally, so it's really important.
00:57:13
It's water purification and water treatment because it's really critical to our livelihood and it's something, it's something we are not going to want to compromise.
00:57:25
So you got, you need to be aware.
00:57:29
of the situation with the water.
00:57:31
Now, I mentioned cryptosporidium before and how it's chlorine resistant, but it's a relatively big microbe, so it can be filtered out.
00:57:42
Then you have Giardia, which is the camper's curse.
00:57:45
I think it may give you a pretty bad case of stomach flu if you're not careful.
00:57:54
So it's something you're going to stay away from.
00:57:56
Another thing that they really don't talk about that much in your water, especially tap water, is brain-eating amoeba, which really sounds nasty.
00:58:07
You know, it's something you're definitely not going to want in your water.
00:58:11
Then they have Legionella, which tends to proliferate in your water heater and also in cooling systems or cooling towers.
00:58:24
that's associated with HVAC or air conditioning.
00:58:29
So that's another thing.
00:58:30
You know, it's not very common, but it's known to be, you know, really ugly if you get it.
00:58:37
The thought-provoking question is, would you recognize a waterborne illness?
00:58:44
Let's talk a little bit about bio weapon potential.
00:58:49
one of the characteristics of the water supply is that it is one of the easiest mass delivery systems for, bioweapon dispersal.
00:58:59
But, so it's something to keep in mind, and I think you have, lots of places, access to the water system that's not really that well guarded.
00:59:11
I think, depending around here, they have everything up, most of the water system access points are
00:59:19
either guarded or they're fenced off.
00:59:22
But that doesn't mean they're invulnerable to attack.
00:59:28
The thing about genetically modified organisms is that they are pretty much undetectable.
00:59:33
So I don't know, man.
00:59:37
You might want to use some type of filter or some kind of purification on most of the water, even the tap water.
00:59:43
I guess this is one of the reasons why
00:59:46
I'm not really too hot on the tap water thing, man, because you just, you really just don't know what's in the water.
00:59:56
I mean, you have an idea of some of the, your normal contaminants, like your fluoride, your chlorine, your chemicals, your some of the biologicals.
01:00:04
But I mean, how would you know if there's, you know, genetically modified organisms or bioweapons in your water?
01:00:10
I mean, you really just wouldn't.
01:00:14
And the thing about
01:00:16
not just the bioweapons, but also contamination is that a lot of times you have delayed symptoms that occur from contaminated water that will make it really difficult for the authorities to actually be able to identify the source of the contamination or to even identify or realize that the water has actually been contaminated.
01:00:43
Another thing
01:00:44
that some people brought up was that how some of these bioweapons could be used to target specific ethnicities of people or ethnic specific weapons, which I do know that they've been researching in South Africa for a while.
01:01:02
So that's something to consider as well.
01:01:06
So the thought-provoking question is, how would you know if water, if your water has been weaponized?
01:01:11
How would you know?
01:01:13
That sounds like something you need to know, but how would you know?
01:01:18
How would you figure it out?
01:01:23
Let's move on to part 9, practical water projects.
01:01:27
So one of the things you want to look at is doing a water audit, where you count every water holding container you have and just take an inventory of all the water that you have on hand.
01:01:38
You want to calculate your current storage in gallons.
01:01:42
then you want to look around and map the water sources within your walking distance of your home.
01:01:49
so in a worst case scenario, you would know where to go to collect water from maybe a stream or a river or a pond or something that you have to purify it.
01:02:03
But knowing where the water is beforehand, before a situation occurs, it will be a very prudent thing for you to do.
01:02:12
You'll also want to test your filter's actual performance.
01:02:17
Also practice, do a practice run with it to see, you know, so you know how to use your filter or whatever other water purification technique you're going to use so that you're familiar with it.
01:02:30
So it's not the first time you're doing it, you know, in a survival type of situation.
01:02:36
You don't want to be learning how to do this, you know,
01:02:40
in the heat of battle, so to speak.
01:02:43
You'll also want to make sure you check the dates on all your purification supplies to make sure that they're still viable and effective.
01:02:52
Next, you want to build a simple filter, just as an exercise.
01:02:56
You can do it with a two-liter bottle, sand, gravel, charcoal, and cloth.
01:03:01
These things, they will not make your water safe to drink, but it could be
01:03:06
great thing for a pre-filter for the next step of your purification process.
01:03:12
Also, you can teach these principles to your children to get them involved as well, and also to get them gamed up early so they can be assets.
01:03:24
And the cost of one of these is under $5 to make it.
01:03:28
And the thought-provoking question is, can your kids actually make one of these?
01:03:35
Next thing I want to talk about a little bit is a Berkey alternative do-it-yourself filter.
01:03:40
You'll need food-grade buckets, ceramic candles, and this type of filter would be 1/10 of the cost of a Berkey.
01:03:51
But it'll have the same effectiveness for biological contaminants.
01:03:56
And also with this, you can make multiple units as well.
01:04:00
So the thought-provoking question is, why pay premium for a name?
01:04:05
Now for this month, some of the goals you want to set is to have two weeks of water independence set up for yourself as quickly as you can.
01:04:15
And you'll want to have 3 purification methods ready and you know for you to know how to use them.
01:04:23
You want to practice making safe water with these systems.
01:04:27
You want to test your family on your water emergency plan.
01:04:33
You also want to start looking to build relationships with water source owners and people in your community or in your area.
01:04:44
Let's go ahead and move on to part 10.
01:04:48
The water wars are coming.
01:04:51
You want to look a little bit, start doing some research into global water intelligence.
01:04:57
and be cognizant, see the people, the powers that be, these leaders and these types of people and high-level people, they understand how important water is and they can see things coming to a head.
01:05:09
And the World Bank is actually saying that you will have water wars by 2030, which is not that far away.
01:05:18
And you have reports of China damming the Mekong River over there in Southeast Asia so that they can control
01:05:26
the water over there, because water control over water is power.
01:05:31
And you have tensions over rivers between India and Pakistan.
01:05:36
And you have here, you have US and Mexico having disputes over the Colorado River.
01:05:44
And they're in right by neck of the woods, they're talking about the Great Lakes compact already breaking down.
01:05:49
So the thought-provoking question is, where will water refugees go?
01:05:56
when water's, becoming such a coveted resource.
01:06:02
This also has investment implications.
01:06:06
Well, some people are already saying that water rights are, if they're not already, that they will become more valuable than gold.
01:06:16
And if you start talking about farmland, if you have farmland that doesn't have water, it will become worthless.
01:06:23
because you just won't be able, you won't be able to raise crops, you won't be able to raise livestock, you won't, you know, the land will be practically, practically valueless if it doesn't have access to water.
01:06:36
And if you look at cities that don't have water, they're going to become ghost towns in a era where you have, where water is much more scarce than it is already.
01:06:47
Think about places like, you know, Nevada or New Mexico, places that have, you know,
01:06:53
limited access to water.
01:06:56
Also, they're predicting that we will have mass migrations from dry areas.
01:07:03
And the thing that people of that you need to come into a realization of is that those who control water will end up controlling virtually everything.
01:07:16
And that makes that brings to mind a the movie
01:07:21
James Bond movie called Quantum of Solace.
01:07:25
And if you, I hate to spoiler alert you, but hopefully you saw the movie.
01:07:29
If not, you probably need to watch it.
01:07:31
And if you have watched it, you've watched it once, you need to watch it again because MI6 and James Bond's people, they were trying to figure out this guy.
01:07:40
He was like a high-level criminal guy.
01:07:43
And
01:07:44
So they're trying to figure out what's he trying to steal because that's what it was because got the guy was buying up all this oil everywhere But they thought he was buying up the land in Central America and so that so the Q and M and all these people and Bond they trying to figure out why is this guy buying up all this land because he's working with this
01:08:08
this rogue general to buy up all this land.
01:08:10
And so they were wondering, does he have oil on?
01:08:12
What does he have?
01:08:13
So they finally go up under there and they figure out that the guy has bought this big underwater cavern of water.
01:08:22
So he was setting himself, the guy was this super criminal.
01:08:26
He was buying up the water rights in the country.
01:08:29
I think it was in Bolivia.
01:08:32
A James Bond movie about water rights.
01:08:35
So they're telling you these things right, in the open.
01:08:39
And the movie, I think it came out in 2008.
01:08:43
So that's something, just to kind of give you a little confirmation that, hey, this water thing is really important.
01:08:50
And the thought-provoking question is, should you move based on water access?
01:08:55
That's something you might want to, you know, start considering, especially if you're in a place where there's no access to the water.
01:09:04
So let's talk a little bit in closing about water consciousness and how you, the mindset shift that's required.
01:09:14
One of the things you're going to have to do is stop assuming that there's infinite water out here and that you're just going to be able to turn on the spigot whenever you want, just get as much water as you want when you want it.
01:09:26
Because those days appear to be over and done with at this point.
01:09:30
If they're not now,
01:09:31
It seems like they're going to be done in the very near future.
01:09:35
And you're going to have to come to a realization that every drop of water is going to become precious in an era of water scarcity.
01:09:46
And some people, you may have to start, you know, setting up gray water systems for water reuse.
01:09:54
And gray water is, it's not the toilet water or water from the kitchen, but it's,
01:09:59
other types of water that you may be able to clean up enough to use for, maybe watering your plants or cleaning your car or something like that, something along those lines.
01:10:10
So what you need to start doing is adjusting your behavior right now.
01:10:15
So before you're forced to change the way you will operate with water.
01:10:23
So the thought-provoking question is, could you live on 10 gallons of water a day?
01:10:28
or maybe even 5 gallons of water a day?
01:10:32
Or do you even have 5 gallons of water a day if the tap goes off?
01:10:39
Let's think a little bit about the spiritual aspect of water.
01:10:43
But because you have to understand that water is literally life, because you can't live without it.
01:10:50
It's really one of the most important aspects of our life.
01:10:54
And we also need to
01:10:56
have gratitude for water because we've, especially in America, we've taken it for granted for so long, but it's just something that we need to really value.
01:11:06
And we need to teach our children water's true value as well so that they won't take it for granted and that they respect it.
01:11:15
Communities often were, you know, historically communities were bound by shared wells.
01:11:24
Or even if you think about work where everybody collects around the water cooler, to talk about things.
01:11:32
So we need to return to an understanding of the sacred nature of water.
01:11:38
And the thought-provoking question is, when did we forget water's immense value?
01:11:45
So maybe you want to set up, you know, your water mission.
01:11:50
become water dependent in 30 days and then build on this solid foundation.
01:11:54
That's something you may want to start doing now before things get dire.
01:12:00
Then look to teach someone else these skills.
01:12:03
They say the best way you can learn things is to teach it.
01:12:09
You might want to start working to build your community around water security to get people to realize, you know, how important water is to human civilization.
01:12:19
and society.
01:12:21
You'll want to make sure you document your local water sources so that in some type of survivalist type of situation, you will already know the places you can go to obtain water.
01:12:36
And one of the predictions they're making is that we need to start preparing for water to become currency because water is one of the most valuable things that we have access to because
01:12:48
We can't live without it.
01:12:50
And the thought-provoking question is, will you control water or will it control you?
01:12:57
By making you aware of these things, I'm hoping that you will control your water.
01:13:04
You need to understand that water is the first domino.
01:13:07
When it falls, everything follows.
01:13:10
Food, sanitation, security, society itself.
01:13:15
The chemistry I learned at Detroit Water and Sewerage was supposed to keep people safe.
01:13:21
Now I'm teaching this info so people can learn how to keep themselves free.
01:13:25
Because when they control your water, they control your life.
01:13:29
And they know it.
01:13:31
That's why every collapse starts with water and every recovery depends on it.
01:13:38
Next episode, we're diving into food security when supply chains shatter.
01:13:44
Not just storage,
01:13:45
but production.
01:13:47
Not just calories, but nutrition that keeps your mind sharp when they want it dull.
01:13:53
Because a hungry population is a compliant population, and they're engineering the hunger right now.
01:13:59
This is Question Everything.
01:14:01
I'm Dave D.
01:14:03
You have water flowing from your tap today.
01:14:06
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
01:14:08
The question isn't whether the water crisis is coming.
01:14:12
It's whether you'll be ready when it arrives.
01:14:15
Start filling containers tonight.
01:14:17
Question everything, especially why you haven't started preparing your water security.
01:14:24
Until next time.
