Yeah, 2 00:00:19.240 --> aN:aN:000NaN
Dr
rashid Bitar has appeared in other revealed films series.
Normally in the realm of health care,
he is someone who is a maverick thinker.
He definitely marches to the beat of his own drum.
I call him to some degree,
a rugged individualist.
He's also an activist.
He takes stands on issues that he thinks are wrong and gives a vision of
how to correct them.
So why did we interview him for Endgame?
Well,
what I didn't know about dr Petar is that he's got a background in
preparedness.
He was an eagle Scout when he was in the military.
He learned a lot about survival and the way that he lives his life
today in a sustainable way,
on acres of land with ponds with fish and goats and all these
other things.
He has some unique views to share around preparedness and it was
worth the conversation to hear his thoughts,
what he has to say and his vision of what he thinks the future will be,
which is somewhat different than a lot of other people.
So I'm happy to share this interview with you,
Russia.
I'm really excited to have this conversation.
You and I have had conversations in past series uh typically about health related subjects
and uh I didn't imagine we might be talking about this subject together,
but as I found out more about your own life and what you've been doing,
it turns out this is gonna be a great conversation.
So thank you for taking the time.
Thank you Patrick.
I actually never thought I'd be interviewed about this subject,
but it's uh it is something that even even from a military standpoint,
even before the military,
you know,
I was a Boy Scout,
I was an Eagle Scout at Three Palm Eagle Scout in the model of the Boy Scouts is be prepared.
So yeah,
I've been I've always believe that you should
prepare for the worst,
but expect the best,
You know,
so,
well,
what's interesting,
you know,
you've always been an activist healthcare activists.
You definitely march to the beat of your own drum.
But you do it,
I think quite rationally,
as far as the,
you know,
you really look at science and data and uh,
and you call things out when you see that they're wrong and you do things in the best interests of
your patients.
But now we're talking about,
um,
you know,
a scenario here in the world where we're seeing,
you know,
censorship and we're seeing,
you know,
propaganda and we're seeing that the,
you know,
the truth is hidden.
And uh,
and there's all these varying threats.
And in addition,
you know,
we're looking at things that happened,
for example,
in texas not long ago.
Right?
Uh,
you know,
that was just there,
there were minutes away from having their power grid go down for three months,
which would have resulted in catastrophe beyond anything we could have imagined.
And people weren't ready for something like that to happen.
So I didn't know about you being,
you know,
an Eagle Scout,
you know,
we certainly knew about your your military experience.
Uh so tell us your big picture view of the world and what's going on right now
and why you think it's important to be prepared?
Well,
it's a really,
really interesting and loaded question,
Patrick.
So I think I've made it pretty clear and,
you know,
in our personal conversations have talked about this,
that it's what what what I believe is coming down the
pipeline is a much more abundant,
encompassing,
embracing,
loving,
accepting society than what we have had for the
last.
You know,
whatever recorded history there has been.
What's interesting is that if you start to see the site click nature of
how things work,
whether it's the tide's coming in or the seasons,
You know,
that everything has a cycle to it.
And so there's actually a 25,920 year cycle
that has been talked about and discussed in various cultures
And I believe it's 22 different cultures have
prophesied The conclusion of the current cycle that we're in with the
25,920 year cycle and the new cycle coming,
and I think we see all the things that are happening right now globally speaking,
You know,
you start talking about a 25,000 year cycle.
Well,
we we don't we don't know what happened 5000 years ago,
basically,
but sigh click once I click nature of how our
planet works and probably the universe works is
unquestionable.
Now if we're coming to a conclusion of You know the
25,000 and 20 year cycle or the last two centuries
since since christ.
Or you look at it from the cycle that started around
the 250 year mark with 1776,
the independence,
the United States to start looking at the history of democracies and how no
democracy has lasted beyond like 204 years.
So the US.
has already on a lifeline from a historical perspective.
Or you just talk about the cycle of the last 10 20 years.
Whatever cycle you're talking about,
I think that there is a beginning and an end to everything right and when
one end ends this doom and gloom component.
But people don't understand that when that death occurs there's a new life beginning,
there's a new cycle beginning.
And so my vision has always been.
And what I've always imagined is that the world is going to be a better place,
especially when Covid started,
it became very clear that everything was accelerating and so it is going to be a better,
more abundant,
more beautiful place.
But as with all evolutionary processes,
there's a component of growth and growth is defined by
even though it's it's a higher version when you when you
grow your getting to getting better stronger faster whatever the case may be.
But there's a painful component to that.
There's a tumultuous disruptive,
sometimes chaotic and can be downright painful component of growth.
Right?
So that nu skin as it's growing
has to first shed the old skin the scavenge to come up and that can be painful.
So that that whole concept that the new is going to be better.
But to get to that point of new,
we may have to go through some tumultuous times and whether those times or a week or a month
or six months or a year,
I don't know,
but I have long
anticipated that we would need to be prepare and you know,
I think that for just speaking for myself and I've probably
speaking for most men,
probably not so much for women,
but you know,
we all think that we're invincible until we have a child and then when
we have a child then we realized how precious life is and all sorts of
paranoids.
That's when you start thinking about your kids and what you need to do.
And so for me it was always I mean literally you can
give me a knife and throw me out and I'll
survive.
You know,
and I just mean that despicably but even beyond metaphorically speaking,
I mean I've been trained to do that during the series training when you know with that S f and when
I did my time with the military and the new before that there were certain types of survival training's and staying
out in the field for you know,
a day,
two days,
that's not a big deal.
Then you go week two weeks and you eventually go to 40,
50 days at a time.
And it's one of those things that you get to,
you get to become confident and secure in your
ability to survive with just the bare backbones of whatever is needed.
You know?
And especially if you have time to prepare and you've got some modern day conveniences,
then it's even better.
But when you got Children now you don't think about surviving,
you got to make sure that you're set up to be able to thrive for your Children in
a society that's a power grid.
Like you said in texas going out or or you know food supplies,
you can't just go down to the local whole foods or do to the market and buy your groceries
or how do you how do you deal with that kind of stuff?
So back probably 12 years ago I started
and I had,
you know,
I was,
I can tell you some funny stories,
but I had done a lot of work with the state highway patrol in north Carolina
and I had gone to a gun auction
and had bought some ammunition.
And this guy,
I mean these are massive gun,
the gun shows right.
And they have all these people that come in with all the different components and so this guy
had a lot of ammunition and you wanted to sell it and there were people,
he basically said,
I'll sell it to the lowest self for the lowest amount if somebody buys the whole thing,
it was like 55,000 rounds.
And you know,
people were like,
I'll buy 5000 rounds out by 2000 and I said I'll buy all 55,000.
So I got all all the ammunition.
What was funny was I had it in the back,
I had a BMW 7 60 at the time.
So I had,
you know,
55,000 rounds of ammunition in my trunk of my car and I'm driving
back to my farm.
And I like I said,
I had volunteered and done a lot of work with the north Carolina Highway Patrol and I had a lot of
friends in the harbor Patrol and this car,
highway patrolman pulls me over lights on.
I'm like,
oh my God.
And it's already evening.
It's like kind of getting towards,
um,
Not quite dark and dusky.
And so when you post 9 11 and you've got a Middle Eastern name,
Russia guitar on your driver's license and I had actually hadn't shaved in probably two weeks.
I had a beard,
you know,
So I was like the epitome of somebody that they would want to target.
And I'm thinking,
oh my God,
and the trooper comes up,
you know,
roll down door has got his hat on and I'm looking for my driver,
my driver's license and my registration and he says something to me in
a,
and the voice,
it hits me and it was one of my friends and I was like,
man,
you shut up,
you know,
crap out of me.
He was like,
what do you worry about?
Because you know,
because I've had them sometimes they pull those kind of pranks before frank's and each other.
And I told him I said,
mike,
I got I got something to truck and he goes,
well,
it's only it's not a dead body,
you don't worry about it.
And I'm like,
well let me show you.
So I go back there and I open it up and he's like,
holy crap,
what are you doing?
I said,
you know,
I've got all my guns and food.
No,
He's like,
dude,
you cannot drive around with that much ammunition in your car.
And I said,
I know that's why I was freaking out when you pulled me over.
He said,
all right,
just you know,
I'm gonna follow you home.
So he followed me even 12 miles with me,
followed me home so I can come to the house.
But you know those kind of funny stories that happened.
But to the point that,
you know what when people talk about,
when God forbid something happens,
what are you what are you looking for?
You're looking for food,
water um and basically shelter,
that's where you start.
And so I had dealt with that portion and then I went to a self sustaining portion
where we had crops planet,
we had cows,
but the cows were 82 cows,
so we can have milk the eight to,
as you know,
probably from the uh eight,
most of the bovine in the America is a one,
but goat milk camel milk Circle Cows is a two milk and 8 to
is if you look at the molecule,
the casing molecule.
When people talk about food allergies,
and milk allergies,
and dairy allergies,
it's actually they're allergic to the A one form of casing,
which has essentially the exact same hepatitis,
except that there's a histamine in the A.
One milk versus pro lean in the A.
Two milk.
So the A.
Two milk is a tighter bond.
It doesn't break down where they want,
It breaks down faster than the body ceases being foreign.
Then you have the emergency component.
So I collected,
believe it or not,
A two cows from all over the United States.
I had heard of a two cows I got from Minnesota Montana California and that's a
pain in the butt when you try to bring towels.
And so I had really prepared to all those different levels.
We had chickens,
we had everything.
Um I had protection dogs.
To the point,
people wanted to know where I got my protection dogs.
I started reading protection dogs,
um ammunition of the big thing.
You know,
people talk about money,
Gold,
silver.
I had I had some,
some of the precious metals at that time,
but at a certain point when society hits that level,
if,
if it ever does,
which I don't think it necessarily will,
but you still want to be prepared for it,
then those rounds of ammunition become more valuable than gold.
But what you gonna do with those throw it at somebody's gonna throw it somebody.
So anyway,
I don't know whether that's what the question that you were asking me,
but I've been I've been working on it and have been aware of it for a long
time.
But a lot of it was before even looking at the political aspect,
it's just always that motto for the Boy Scouts being prepared.
You know,
you you want to be prepared to fight not because you want to fight,
but because in order to ensure peace,
the ability to fight insurance piece.
That's why being strong,
being able to fight.
Being able to protect yourself.
That's why the U.
S.
Military is so strong but it's not well theoretically,
you know the political agendas are somewhat suspect but the whole purpose of having a strong
military is to ensure peace.
And so just all those different things being able to protect yourself and your family,
being able to have food supply,
water supply and being able to provide the basic necessities.
That's where it started.
And then beyond that I am performed believer and hey there's no reason that you're
gonna prepare you that you can't prepare in luxury and so you know they're having all the nuances and all
the all the conveniences and just being off the
primary grid for example having water with your own wealth and then having the pumps
for those wells being solar and having the refrigeration for everything that you want.
But having that also solar back and having redundancy with propane.
So go stop that thing.
So I don't even know where you want to go,
Patrick,
but it's kind of verbally vomited on you and give you,
there's a bunch of information.
Well,
I want to dig into something a little bit more,
but there's another area I think you can speak specifically to that's important,
which is um,
having,
what type of uh medical supplies would we need?
Like,
let's say,
yep,
grid does go down or any number of other things happens and you're sort
of on your own and with your family and somebody gets
injured or somebody has,
you know,
uh,
bit by a snake or any number of things.
Yeah.
Because of your medical background and you know,
you've got army field experience as well in this realm.
How do you,
what what would I want to go put together for my home to say that,
you know,
this is another part of my preparation to safeguard myself and my family.
You know,
that's an interesting question because that's the one area I didn't really do much preparation for.
And that's because in a lot of the military training,
the combat casualty care course,
you're trained not just to take care of people as doctor,
but also if you don't have the right supply.
So you've probably seen in the movies when somebody can't with a tension pneumothorax,
you can save their life with just an empty pen.
You know,
you stick a hole and then just put the pin,
there's just open up the airways so you can uh decompress the thoracic cavity and
things like that.
Of course you wouldn't want to have that in an emergency situation.
But in an emergency situation somebody you macgyver,
you know,
like literally with a pocket knife doing a tracheostomy or or whatever is necessary,
but if you're gonna be preparing from it and if you're assuming you're talking about a nonmedical person,
I mean even here in my farm,
you know,
one of my guys just kind of finger like sliced it off and I was like I need to go get that stitched up and he's like no no
no I'm not going and he's like freaking out,
but there's a lot of blood.
I'm like nick,
you need to go get that finger showing up.
And he's like doc,
I'm not going,
I've never been in hospital not going because if you want to start up you can.
So you know,
I just had somebody from the clinic,
it was a weekend but ran up there and we had a few trinkets and I just picked them up here.
So just having some basic things like that,
like a supermarket.
Um uh even even for non medical person
in an emergency situation just to have a supermarket having some rubbing alcohol that can be
an antiseptic or hydrogen peroxide,
something like that.
Uh This is regular dressings,
you know,
I'm not a believer and all you gotta stock up on antibiotics and just because I don't I don't use those things anyway.
Um I think again,
preparing yourself,
exercising and being in good health and making sure that you
are adequately nourished.
That helps a lot because then your body heals easier faster.
You don't need as much support.
Many of these things are supportive in nature.
But you know,
what do we do before antibiotics?
50 years ago,
100 years ago?
What do we do before antibiotics?
People sound like you've got a couple and you died,
right?
There was a higher chance of infection.
But just remember that the water that you're gonna be drinking or that you're going to be
using to feed your livestock,
that water becomes very important when you have a wound.
Because the solution to pollution is dilution,
you irrigate the wound clean.
That that's the best thing that you can do.
And then just making sure you have a uh,
septic clean dressing.
So there's really not much there too to prepare.
Like my guy,
Nikko had one of my guys that works for me.
He has more medical supplies than I've ever had outside of the clinic.
Right.
I mean,
he's got like backpacks of all sorts of things.
I was looking,
I said,
what the hell are you doing?
And he was like,
I don't know the dog was prepared,
like okay,
that's good.
But I mean he had dressings and he had,
you know like superglue,
superglue and then superglue is actually an interesting because we have a really big moon and you don't have any other
way of stopping the bleeding.
I mean it's been used especially for scalp scalp wounds,
really,
really bleed very easily.
So putting superglue in there and of course in the er we would just use staple guns.
So what you used to staple doing surgery when you staple
the the abdomen closed staples are very quick to apply,
they are easy to remove and they don't even starring and
so especially for things like uh scalping,
which bleed profusely,
it's very easy to put quickly,
just put one staple in there in the er I wouldn't even number person for the numbing is more painful than staple.
You know you just staple was on the screen and then it's done it's one unstable so those type of things
perhaps.
But um I know it sounds ironical even though I'm a physician and I haven't really prepared
medically but that's because you know I think that every day the way we live in
our type of philosophy of medicine when I say ours I mean yours and mine
and you know maintaining a good immune system making sure you don't put things in your body that could be
potentially detrimental like vaccines like preservatives like you
know um eating foods that have been fertilized and
had insecticides and pesticides used on them trying to eat clean organic
range,
fat grass fed,
so the bodies are stronger and better and more resilient.
And one thing that I'm bad with I'm guilty of is not getting enough sleep,
so sleep is another important aspect.
But as far as equipment and such,
you know,
I would say there's something to clean a wound with and dress.
It may be a future kid.
And that's basically about it when
you're prepping,
Like you said,
you were prepping for the time that you were a kid because being a boy scout,
um at this point now,
how much supplies do you have in food,
water,
etcetera?
Like how long would you,
how long would it last if everything was cut off from you?
How much how much supply do you have?
You know,
almost all my stuff is in new Zealand so I got,
took everything there,
you know,
moved the family,
they're my oldest son,
graduate from high school there,
then I went through a divorce and the X wanted to come back here.
Meanwhile my daughter had already stayed because she was already in her mid twenties.
By that time,
my son,
Avi,
who you met,
who you interviewed for the World Summit.
Um I'll be graduated from high school museum.
But then he came back to the States to start college and he's actually graduating this week
now next week I think I think it's last finals.
Maybe this coming friday actually.
Yeah,
so he's graduating from the university of north Carolina charlotte.
So two of my kids were already grown independent
and the X.
Obviously came back to the U.
S.
So I was there with my youngest son and having to go back and forth taking him,
you know,
his mom with me.
I left all the stuff that in fact I came back in february 2020 just to pick up
my son and to give a lecture at the antico poco event.
And we had our event coming up in May and we had some last minute thing that I figured out.
I'm just gonna go back for a month,
might as well just stay here.
And then by the time the conference was over,
they close the borders down.
And even though I can go back,
it's that quarantine,
you've got to be in a close,
a controlled situation Under guard with high,
you know,
high fences,
they don't give you like 30 minutes of sunshine every other day for two weeks.
And I wasn't going to go through that nonsense.
And so that's why I've been here.
So it's it's actually a strange situation.
I've been preparing,
preparing,
preparing and all the stuff that I had to prepare.
I have some things here,
but they were just left because they weren't as important as all the stuff I took with me in new Zealand.
So now I'm in the process of not necessarily
accumulating all those things because I wouldn't be able to do that.
That took years to accumulate that,
but more finding a location That is
more sustainable than where I'm at now.
So right now in 28 acres,
I have my own wells,
have three wells,
I have a lake right outside the house.
You know,
just,
that's on the property,
small two acre lake,
Um,
that's stocked with fish.
I have,
I don't know of all my cows and all that stuff,
but you know,
we've got about 150 votes,
so in a bad situation,
that's,
that's going to be fine.
I do have the backup propane tanks and I have
um,
some of my dogs here,
but other than that,
I haven't,
I haven't really,
I don't have everything that I would need actually take that back.
I've got probably About seven years worth of store food that has a
shelf life of about 25 years.
And again,
that was stuff that I've accumulated before.
It had a shelf life of 20 years,
but I've been incrementally Adding to it in 2017 of
2018 was the last time I had to it.
So,
you know,
I think my mind sets a little bit different now.
It's more to have a place that's sustainable,
rather than having things that are uh rather than
store food,
it would be having food and having the ability to grow your own food that would be more
sustainable,
in my opinion,
right?
Because here's the thing,
you store food then what happens if,
if nothing happens?
And then he goes bad,
and then you're like,
nothing's going to happen is going like the boy who cried wolf and then finally like us,
like nothing's gonna happen then when something happens,
like what happened in texas,
you know,
texas has abundant sources of food and yet all the
stores were depleted of food when that snowstorm hit and they didn't have powerful,
I don't know how many months.
It was crazy what happened there?
And my,
my belief is now you should prepare yourself based upon a sustainable
a type of scenario as opposed to hoarding,
collecting a tumor of type scenario.
So rather than having a bunch of stored fish in
the refrigerator or what,
you know,
to me,
it would be better to have a pond on your property or having being a location that has fish right?
Instead of storing meat would be better to have some cattle or goats or
whatever.
Um Rather than having dehydrated food,
which I've got a lot of that would be better to have uh heirloom seeds and then
grow them and they collect the seeds for the next season.
And just because not only is it the preparing aspect,
but it's also,
we just don't know what we're getting in.
A lot of our foods.
There's a recent article that I read that the biggest landowner now in the United States
is Bill Gates well,
formally and Yeah.
Yeah.
And so that's disturbing in itself.
And where's your food coming from?
What did they do?
The foods,
how do they manipulate them?
The radiation,
genetic modification,
the pasteurization of modernization of foods.
It just renders a food non as its non food,
in my opinion.
And so the adulteration of things that we take into our bodies to sustain
ourselves is a big concern.
and that goes beyond preparing.
That just goes to the fact that we need to be aware of what we're eating and
as things become more constraint,
we're going to have to start to be more conscientious and be more proactive about where
our food is coming from.
And so it's not so much from a prepared for the
coming crash,
if if that's what a person's thinking,
it's more preparing and making sure that before this beautiful,
abundant,
encompassing,
embracing world in the event,
that there's more tumultuous changes occurring,
we need to be able to sustain ourselves until that new world is the
status quo.
And so it's more it's more from that
sustainability aspect that I'm looking at it now,
as opposed to from a preparedness standpoint of you taking the
emphasis away from being prepared to becoming a self sustained.
Yeah,
I imagine,
you know,
some of this is uh for consideration for people,
it's kind of where they are,
right?
So you're,
you're already on,
you know,
acreage with all,
you know,
the things that you just described and I like the kind of the regenerative things saying,
hey,
you know,
I can,
I can fish and then there's gonna be more fish are coming because they keep mating and creating more fish and I can grow
crops and uh,
you know,
all those types of things,
you have redundant well systems and backup power and you know,
so you're,
you're sort of homesteaded in a sense that,
you know,
you can,
you can kind of keep it all going,
but if you're living in,
you know,
uh midtown Manhattan,
you know,
you're,
you're kind of facing a different circumstance,
which I guess the idea would be to bug out to,
you know,
maybe you have enough supplies to get you out of the city to a place that,
you know,
that you can get to,
that you can bug out to,
uh,
etcetera.
Um,
and uh,
you know,
so for everybody,
I guess it's it's sort of um conditional based on,
you know,
what their own circumstances are.
Now.
You're also,
you make a point to that if I can assure you just open up a real
big can of worms,
because that actually is the,
you know,
£5,000 elephant in the room here,
because where that's a really critical part about also being
prepared or being in a sustainable environment.
Is that where you are right now in your lives?
You know,
physically where you located in your lives,
wherever the people are listening to us from,
that's going to be a real,
real big and critical issue because when you're in a major
metropolitan area and electric goes out,
the power goes out,
our food supplies become scarce.
That's when the rioting starts.
And that's when all sorts of other tumultuous things would occur.
And so if you want to be prepared or you want to prepare,
I would suggest that's a very important part of being a major metropolitan area.
Get up,
get out before.
Don't wait now.
I would get out now,
I would find a couple of acres,
I go more rural.
Um and yeah,
people would say,
well there,
but that's disrupting my life.
Well,
you know,
here's the thing.
Just imagine if you don't do that.
I mean,
if you're really concerned about this,
right?
If you don't do that,
what's going to happen when the high rise with 30 floors that are in
your in your high rise and Let's say 40 people on each
floor,
You know,
what are you gonna do when there's 1200 people don't have food?
And that's just your high rise and then the next high rise in the next high rise.
And then that's when things become problematic,
right?
What if water supplies shuts off then?
What are you gonna do?
So that whole high rise doesn't have water and neither does the one next to it.
So that's where people started becoming desperate.
And I think that I don't think that's coming.
I you know,
it may I don't know,
but I've long thought I just don't like being in the city anyway,
because to me,
I can't see enough trees,
enough grass.
It kind of gives me a little bit Uh apprehension,
right?
I like I like I grew up in a town of 304 people.
Patrick,
I mean,
so it kinda gives you an idea for a reference.
You know,
I like,
even though I'm right now in charlotte my place here
where my kids grew up,
It's 27 acres.
But I am in the middle of a large city and I'm 18 minutes
in The airport,
in 20 minutes from downtown.
Um It's probably not the best place to be,
even though I am on land with my own water etcetera,
etcetera.
But I think that the location where you are physically located
has a very important and critical component to it,
that you should start with thinking because I think preparing by
having Cryptocurrency,
you know that to me is if the computers go down,
how you gonna if people are starving,
who's gonna want that Cryptocurrency,
right,
That cryptic country isn't gonna protect your family,
It's not going to feed your family,
it's not gonna provide you shelter,
it's not going to provide your nourishment.
But that's what people think.
Well,
I'm going to prepare with Cryptocurrency.
Well,
that's again that's a that's a maybe a way of preparing for financial cuts.
It's not really preparing for the practical aspects.
And if you're talking about,
even while I'm going to store up in precious metals,
what are you gonna do?
Throw that gold at somebody?
Uh,
so the bullets,
you know,
rounds of ammunition become more important if there is riding to protect yourself.
But even more important than that,
when people are hungry,
what are you going to eat those bullets?
So you see how each one of those things,
you can put that say they're important,
but you can create a scenario where those things are going to be obsolete because you need something more basic
and just sustain yourself.
And so that's one reason I always go back to the food and the
water and those two things I think are the most important.
And in a big city or in any city,
if you're in the city supply of water,
um,
you're sitting up basically.
Yeah.
And I think we've been,
we've been learning that like you said from the,
from texas and the lessons learned there and people were just completely unprepared.
Um,
so you,
uh,
you said you're looking at like larger parcels like out in Oklahoma.
Um,
is that because you want to get further away from the population center,
even though you kind of have a,
you know,
a renewable source of food and water that would sustain for awhile,
sustainable.
You just want to also have an option to go away from a population center.
Yes.
So texas is where we're planning on moving.
And uh,
the,
it's basically for that idea to be away from the larger metropolitan
areas.
I like texas.
I did my training in texas or,
or any area like that.
And a lot of people are moving to different parts off the country.
Midwest moving to Missouri.
South Dakota would be,
if South south Dakota would be my choice if it wasn't winner half the
year.
I say you don't wanna go without power and uh,
you got to deal with some pretty cold temperatures there.
Exactly,
exactly.
But the governor there is great and in fact,
that's what the advancements in conference is taking place because uh,
they buy,
they signed a contract and no social distancing,
no face mask for our conference.
And uh,
we actually had a contract,
the same contract here in charlotte for the charlotte convention center,
but they weren't going to honor it and two falls convention centers who falls out because
we're going to actually have the advancements in conference.
So actually,
I've just heard that the governor is going to be making the institute,
so we're excited about that.
But you know,
just looking at different parts of the world,
Obviously they're gonna be people outside the United States also watching this.
So wherever,
if you are going to move,
I would recommend moving to a place that's going to be more hospitable climate.
Like I don't get Chicago right?
I don't understand how Chicago became one of the biggest cities in the world because it's a crappy city.
It's like,
I mean to me,
every time you go there,
you know,
it's so windy or so actually hate mail.
I'm going to get right now.
I just don't get it.
I actually interviewed for medical school at Russia University of Illinois.
So I actually had gone there and maybe maybe I'm jaded
because my interviewed rush,
I remember,
um,
Well one of the interviews,
a pigeon pooped on my shoulder,
on my,
on my jacket that I was,
you know,
and then the wind in there in,
in that city and I'm thinking myself back when they settled this area in Chicago,
you know,
whatever,
two or 300 years ago,
like what was in somebody's mind,
I wait a second,
there's not enough wind anywhere else.
Let me move to right here in Chicago.
I don't,
I don't get it.
I don't get why people go to such inhospitable places,
But they are people like,
you know,
you see Seattle for example,
I mean what is it like 80% of the days are raining.
So why do people,
you know,
congregated?
Like you can see Naples florida or Miami consecutive,
you know about this beautiful beaches,
whatever or san Diego wherever,
but certain areas like I don't get why people go into folder areas,
whatever the cases,
I would make sure that if you are going to move,
move to an area that has more um balanced seasons,
perhaps that aren't as extreme so that survivability is better and the to answer
your first part of the question,
I actually,
I like animals better than I like people.
And I think that I think that if we were in a private situation,
I'd probably expanded that you probably already know,
but you can trust animals,
you can't trust people and I don't want to sound jaded,
like I don't trust people,
but I'm being facetious here somewhat because I would much rather spend time with my animals than
with people that I don't know.
But I do like rural.
I grew up in a rural area so down deep in my own heart,
I'm a rural,
you know,
country boy.
I'm glad as redneck as you can get without having a redneck.
So uh,
but it's just more comfortable and it's,
there's less people and you know,
something happens to people's minds of different,
different experiences that we've had define us,
right?
And I'm one of those weird people that I'm very comfortable in the dark.
In fact,
I feel safer in the dark,
in the,
in the woods at night and part of that military training,
you know,
learning how to preserve your night vision,
blah blah blah boy scout to spend.
I just,
I just seem to prefer to actually my chief operating officer self.
Uh,
he was saying something about how he's so scared of the dark.
We were having a conversation,
we were having dinner one night,
there was a couple of us and I said,
yeah,
that's so weird because I feel so comfortable in the dark.
And he and he looks at me and he points to me,
he goes,
it's because of people like you,
the people like me are afraid of the dark start laughing.
But I I feel I feel comfortable and you can't you can't
really appreciate the beauty of what you
see and what you feel what you experienced at nighttime.
Because when there's no light,
your eyes adjust and you see it completely,
it's almost not quite as extreme as that movie avatar.
Remember when they show how everything starts blooming at night and you can
see the stars and when you have a lot of other ancillary,
like you can't really appreciate the night sky.
And you know when like one thing,
the one thing I think is since I was a child that was really comfortable,
that's why I became comfortable the darkest.
Because you know you think what if I get lost,
what if I can't find my parents and when you get lost I lived in Pakistan with my
parents for two years.
I was born in England and then went to Pakistan to learn the
language And then we moved to the states when I was eight.
But as a kid you know it was pounded in our heads by my parents,
my my mom,
you know you can't even get separate,
you can't even separate because in many parts in India and Pakistan they would steal kids right?
And then they make them go back there like you know named the child,
make them blind or something and then and then put the kids out to beg.
And so my mom was like paranoid about this.
And if you ever saw that movie Slumdog Millionaire,
well there was a scene in there where they were trying to catch kids and it's a real part they do this all over the world.
We live in a sick society.
And this is one reason I'm I'm excited about the new coming for because a lot of that rubbish that we've had to deal with a
lot of the injustices and improprieties.
I think going by the wayside,
people are waking up,
people are starting to awaken,
which is a beautiful thing to witness and be part of.
And that's what people need to remember that we are in a very important time in history,
but I digress.
So it was pounded in my head.
You can't get lost.
You know,
you gotta stay near near us when we're in a public area.
So as a kid,
my grandfather and my dad and then later in Boy Scouts,
the Night Sky,
you knew exactly which way north was and you know the direction I was able to always
know where I was.
Whereas when it's daily,
like,
you know,
you don't know where you are,
I mean your kids,
these are the stars.
I've learned where we are.
You know,
I was talking to Map,
I learned pretty early on,
this is the big town with dad works and this is where we are and I know that I got to go,
you know northeast,
so I kind of learned those type of things and so maybe that's why I'm more comfortable in the dark,
I don't know,
but you can't appreciate that kind of stuff if you're in a urban environment,
right?
And so now just think about it from a preparation standpoint,
you're in an urban environment,
you don't know about water,
you don't know about food,
you don't know who else is around you,
right,
in a rural area,
you may not see a person for uh an hour or two,
maybe a day or two.
In fact where I lived in New Zealand before,
because I'm a permanent resident,
New Zealand that I told you about,
I moved there in 2016 and I'm in a town about 2.5,
3 hours from the biggest city in New Zealand,
which is Auckland,
but the town that I'm in,
it's about 1600 people.
And Even though it's 600 people had some acreage there,
I was in a place where I went at least three or four different
times more than two weeks without seeing another human being.
And so I was like the crazy man yelling at the cockroaches,
my my son and cockroaches.
And so did scream at night that scream back at them.
And so I was like that crazy old man,
you know,
screaming at his birds type of thing.
But uh just imagine people say,
well,
how could you be in an isolated environment?
It's not about the isolation is that when you're in a rural rural environment versus an
urban environment,
when supplies of food and water becomes short,
you're gonna have to deal with other people not that necessarily mean or their antagonistic,
they're just desperate.
And so when people are desperate,
they will resort to desperate means.
And so to be in a situation that you're not in a um
situation where you're going to be around other desperate people now again,
99% chance we're not going to have to deal with that,
but there is a chance that it could happen,
like happened in texas,
right?
Everything's back to normal.
But they did have a problem there.
And so being prepared,
it's not for the collapse of modern society necessarily.
But it could be right.
What if what if E.
M.
F.
What if there's a electromagnetic policy E.
M.
P.
Bomb that goes off right?
That could be detonated?
Well,
you're not going to see an explosion.
You're not gonna necessarily here until you might hear something.
But all your devices from cars,
the lights to refrigeration gone,
it's just gonna be shut down.
And so how do you deal with that?
Can you imagine a normal metropolitan area and everything shuts down?
Right?
Your car is no longer work.
Traffic lights no longer work,
Your computer is no longer work refrigeration,
no longer works.
How long is it gonna take for people to become desperate and it's not gonna take that long.
So whereas in a rural environment,
you know,
people are more friendly that,
you know,
there's more abundant,
there's more abundance,
you know,
does that make sense or?
My no,
no,
it makes sense.
Yeah,
well people would would be in cooperation,
high density centers,
you know,
high density population centers um are,
you know exactly what you don't want to be,
you know,
if there's any kind of unrest,
um you know,
it can get out of control very quickly and uh that's why I think,
you know,
the idea of getting out of those areas are having a plan to get out of those areas is probably
a really good idea.
Um So and it's interesting,
you know,
just looking at your background and knowing how you kind of came up through the ways that you did,
that you you landed where you are.
So I appreciate,
you know,
you you sharing this.
But the,
I think the idea is like,
you know,
thinking more in terms of sustainability,
you know,
if if that's an option for somebody,
rather than saying I've got a week of supplies or your supply or five year supply,
saying I've got permanent supply,
because I have a sustainable way to get my water sustainable way to get my food.
That's that's really the ideal to be aiming for.
And um I like the fact that you're,
you're,
you're optimistic,
you know,
that you don't see the sky falling,
but you think we're maybe gonna go through some difficult times to break through to kind of maybe a new
era um for humanity,
which would be,
I hope you're right.
Um just look at the storm clouds that are forming.
It certainly gives me a lot of concern.
Well you know,
on the other side of that,
hopefully this is a new and better world.
So I I certainly appreciate you taking the time to share your own personal experience of what you're
doing here and and uh I think people can can learn a lot from the way that you've sort of
arrived,
where you are.
Patrick,
I'd like to also just mention real quick in closing to even if you can't move from an
urban environment,
there are things that people can do to become more sustainable.
For example,
they have the hydroponic devices where you can actually plant your
plants and then just pull off whatever you need and actually you can grow tomatoes and lettuce and
different types of vegetables year round.
And then they actually have other versions where the water that's supplying the
hydroponic actually has tilapia in there,
so you get fish and the fish eat from the roots of the plants and
it's a perfectly balanced closed loop ecosystem.
So you have a place to get meat,
you know,
the fish and the plants and so they do have things like that.
And I know people that have done that and actually knew a person,
it wasn't new york,
it was,
I think,
I think one of the northeastern small states,
maybe Rhode island somewhere.
Um but he basically lived in an apartment and he created a way to collect
water from the rain.
And so,
you know,
there's different things that you can do no matter where you are.
But I think that the global aspect is think more
sustainability rather than supporting and preparing,
because here's one problem with that is if you have a bunch of stuff and somebody finds out you've got a bunch of stuff and guess
what they when they don't have anything,
just watch the movie called a Bug's Life,
right?
The Disney movie.
So it's like the Grasshoppers,
they didn't prepare and the hands kept them preparing and then went,
something catastrophic happened.
The grasshoppers came and try to take away from the ends and that's what you want to do.
You want to be in a more preparation sustainable mode as opposed to uh
happy go lucky.
You know,
if it happens,
it happens and then when it happens,
you know,
you're S O.
L.
Well makes perfect sense.
Right?
So,
uh so Russia,
I certainly appreciate,
again,
you take the time and sharing.
I know you're you're a busy guy with a lot going on and uh I appreciate the fact that you
shared your experience and your your thoughts around this with absolute thank you for
asking.
you.
Just Yeah,
that concludes my interview with Dr Rashid Guitar,
again,
quite a character,
very rugged individualist,
that I was glad that he took some time to share his thoughts with us here.
