War is Now Assured

Ajouté : 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]Well, good morning. How are you all today? And welcome to Ultimate Preparedness. I am Steve Smith. Let's talk a little bit about war this morning, shall we? We've talked about it before, uh about the possibility of war and wars coming and you know, whether it's going to be World War II or World War 11 as uh as what's her name might call it. Um, but I think that we've gotten to the point now with this situation in Iran that war is all but inevitable and we need to talk about uh what are going to be the uh the implications and the results of that.

[00:00:35]But what's the impact going to be on you and I? Uh so why have I finally come to the conclusion that war is inevitable?

[00:00:43]Well, we've been going back and forth with this uh you know, after the attacks, our attacks on Iran and Israel's attacks on Iran and all of this. And of course, you know, the politics in the Middle East is is a mess. Always has been. So, it really it doesn't doesn't matter about talking about the wise because the what is just about here as far as I'm concerned. Um the reason that uh that I think it's inevitable is because of the players involved and what they have at stake. We have essentially the United States and and Iran has to I mean you knew that, right? But where each each one of those is coming from is is uh is what determines the outcome. And I don't think a lot of people uh really understand at at the very base uh what the the positions are.

[00:01:39]And it depends on, you know, every everybody's talking about this uh you know, whether you watch Fox or CNN or MS whatever it is now. Um and depending on what channels you watch on on YouTube or Tik Tok or whatever that other uh Instagram uh you will you will have the um the opinions of people uh you know regurgitated over and over and over and each one of those sides becomes an echo chamber.

[00:02:14]But I haven't heard really anybody talking about I've heard a couple of people mention it, but nobody goes down into it deeply.

[00:02:20]Uh, and that is is the the why. Why why does each side want this war? And when you have when you have only one side wanting war, uh, that pretty much assures there's going to be a war. And I and I don't I know that Iran wants a war. How do I know that? I'll tell you in a second.

[00:02:40]Uh, and I think that America wants a war.

[00:02:43]because we have a lot of these little war hawks around, right? A lot of the neocons, a lot of the people that just want war. I'm not sure that Trump is one of those. I don't think that he is. I think that, you know, Trump's a dealmaker. He'd rather make a deal than than have a war. But, uh, I think he's being driven in this in this direction.

[00:03:01]Not absolving him from responsibility for it, but I think he's being driven in this, and I think it's going to it's going to go there because he can't back down. So, we have had we have reached an impass uh in this. we've we've declared this ceasefire, right? And Rubio, I think he said that, well, Pakistan and Qatar have have, you know, Pakistan asked the United States for a ceasefire and uh because they they think that we're close to a deal. They think that Iran is close to, you know, agreeing to uh to, you know, whatever we want.

[00:03:38]Uh Trump has said over and over, "Oh, yeah, we're close to a deal. they're going to give it all up. We're we're going to get everything that we want.

[00:03:47]And it just keeps going. And of course, Iran keeps coming back said, "No, we didn't say that. We we you know, uh there's no way for any of us to know the truth, first off." Okay? So, I'm not going to say that this is true, that's true, whatever. I've seen other channels say that one or the other. They don't know. I don't know. You don't know. But, but the basics are this is that Iran Um, oh, I even heard about somebody I'll throw this in here. I I even heard uh or I read I guess uh somebody say that they were trying to uh reinstall or the our American side trying to reinstall Akmood Akmad uh back in the uh the presidency over there. Well, you know, the the leadership in Iran is split between several factions and and any American who thinks that they understand all of that, uh, I think is probably misled.

[00:04:49]But Iran wants the war because they think that this is what's necessary for uh, you know, the return of for for the Mahi to arrive. You know, the 12th imam.

[00:05:00]It is part of their esquetology, part of their end times theology and it is uh it is necessary. They want it and I don't think a lot of people understand that. I I even think uh I even watch some of these these people on TV, some of these retired generals, you know, some I mean very smart uh uh Kellogg smart uh uh what's his name? Jack Keane smart.

[00:05:25]They're all smart people, right? Uh but it's it's possible to be smart about things and not understand the underlying motivation behind someone, you know, and when we put our when we put our uh the way we think on someone else such as well, you know, any reasonable person would would feel such and such and such and such, right? Well, if you're not dealing with a reasonable person, then your opinion, you know, carries a very little weight, right?

[00:05:54]So, I think that that's that's it. I don't think there there's any way Iran is just playing us. They're they're playing us along because they've always been able to. They've always been able to play the American government and the American president and string us along.

[00:06:08]And uh you know, they're they're experts. I mean, these people, you know, these are the rug merchants, right?

[00:06:13]They've been selling rugs for 5,000 years. They know how to they know how to deal. I mean, um Trump may be the the deal maker. uh supreme. But these people been this is in their blood. You know, they've been doing it for 5,000 years.

[00:06:29]And when you add religion into it, it gets even even deeper.

[00:06:37]By the way, I forgot to ask you or invite you to go get yourself something to sip on while we talk. And like I always say, hopefully out of a Stone Mountain mug because everything tastes better out of a Stone Mut mug. This is the one from last year's gathering, the second annual gathering that we had here in Tha, Kansas. Not here, but in tha.

[00:06:56]I'm not in THA right now. Uh, but in Ta.

[00:07:00]It was a great time. Our next one's coming up on October 3rd, 2026. Make sure that you are there. It is it's it's one of the best days you'll ever have.

[00:07:08]You will meet. It's a day. It's not a a a preparedness convention or anything like that. It's just a day that that the viewers of this channel, the readers of my books, everybody, we we get together and we spend a day kind of fellowshipping and getting to know each other and enjoying, you know, cooking hamburgers and hot dogs and eating, you know, beans and and ju and having some talks and listening to it. It's just a great day. So, October 3rd, you're invited. Doesn't cost you a darn thing except the gas to get here. But anyway, uh uh yeah, you can get uh we'll have mugs for that, too.

[00:07:44]Uh so so we're Iran and I think that the powers that are uh in control over there, they want this war. They're not going to give up. They are also a very prideful people, a very advanced people.

[00:08:02]The Persian people are, you know, an exceptional group of people. Um doesn't matter that some of them are wackos, they're still exceptional people. and uh and they're not going to give up. They they are not going to lose faith.

[00:08:17]There's no way that they can give up what we tell them to give up and and keep their faith. And I think they're going to take this. First off, they'll they'll go to the death for it. But when you add on that that they want to go to their deaths for it, okay, now you've got to you know, it it's it's like fighting somebody who wants to fight, right? No matter what, they're going to lose, but they're going to mate you.

[00:08:39]They're they're going to make you kill them. I had I had a guy call me up on the phone one time when I was uh teaching a class and uh maybe I'll tell that on another one, but he called me up and he said he was he was coming down to the gym. He was going to make me kill him. Just I think it was to make a a woman feel sorry for him. I I'll tell you that story on on Patreon sometime, but that that stuff happens. And uh they they whether whether they go up in a mushroom cloud or they send somebody else up in a mushroom cloud, I don't think it matters much to them. Uh because it's it will be the return of the Mi and the 12th Imam and be the end of the world the way that in their mind Allah wants it to to go. Okay. Now on our side, uh Trump's not going to back down. Um there's no way he's going to back down in my opinion. Okay. Do I know? No, I don't know anymore. Well, I probably know more than some, but uh no, I can't read his mind, but I don't think he's going to back down. And uh I don't think that Israel is going to back down. I don't think Israel is going to let Trump back down. I don't think the neocons are going to let Trump back down. And Trump doesn't want to back down. So when you put all those together, he's not going to back down. So we are left with war.

[00:09:55]Let me take a sip and then let's get to what it means to us. Okay.

[00:10:02]what it means to us if we go to war. And and you know this this this Yahoo uh that that beat Thomas Massie down in Kentucky, Ed Galain, uh the interesting questionable guy. I think they thought that if they threw in a a so-called hero, a Navy captain who had been a SEAL, and I don't know, I have no idea what his career was was of. Uh I do know apparently well he even admitted to the fact that he uh he he lied about how many uh bronze stars he'd received. So there's that, right? Um but Israel's money uh got him into the uh to to beat Massie down there in Kentucky and he has come right out and said that he is for the draft. Okay. So we have a whole lot of people wanting to take this country to war and it's the same people that always want to It's it's the war hawks. It's the neocons.

[00:11:02]It's the defense contractors. It's the uh it's it's it's the people who don't think, right? The people who always want a war. And wars are always fought for money. It's medley Butler's book, Wars of Racket.

[00:11:20]And it's always the rich old men who declare them. It's always the usually uh poor young men who fight them and come back e if they come back at all. If they come back alive, they're either going to come back dead or they're going to come back in uh in physical or emotional pieces.

[00:11:38]So, um what does it what does it mean to us if we go to war? Well, it's really going to get dicey. And you know, I've heard people whine and moan and complain about, oh, everything's bad and everything's, you know, prices are up and gas is up and all that kind of stuff. And, you know, I talk about that occasionally.

[00:11:57]Um, oh, by the way, somebody will say, "Do you live on a highway? I hear all this traffic." Yeah, I don't live on a highway. No, there's a there's a major thorough back behind my house, and I live here because I choose to live here.

[00:12:10]Because there is more to life than preparedness. There is more to life than living out in the woods. Nothing against living out in the woods. It's not for me, but I I can see where a lot of people would just love it, but it's not for me, you know, and there's there's different aspects to preparedness than just, you know, living remotely. Um, but it's, you know, I hear all these people talking about, like I said, uh, you know, how how times are hard and times are bad and money's tight and all this kind of stuff. Well, it's going to get a lot worse. It's going to get worse if we go to war. Uh gas is going to get higher.

[00:12:47]The price of everything is going to get higher because of the price of fuel.

[00:12:51]Uh there are going to be shortages in the stores.

[00:12:58]There are going to be um probably some limitations.

[00:13:04]They're going to try to they're going to going to try to put through more uh uh surveillance you know, not necessarily martial law, but surveillance uh legislation, okay?

[00:13:19]Our privacy is going to be diminished.

[00:13:21]And and you know, again, for those of us who don't do anything wrong, we you know, it's not going to affect us except except and this is where, you know, yeah, for the guy who's thumping on his keyboard right now, but it's taking away our rights. Yes, I know I I almost called you a name. I I'm totally aware of that. So, don't get all insensed and excited. All right? I'm aware. I don't like any of these incremental, you know, bites out of our our freedoms of privacy and everything else, but we're going to see uh a clamp down on that. And we very well may see a draft because there's no way that we are going to be able to take care of Iran to the extent that we said we want to without guys on the ground. And uh that means that uh even though apparently recruitment enlistments is up under Trump uh they're going to want more. And so now you have to think about your uh your kids, your grandkids, maybe some of you your great grandkids. Is the government going to come tell them, "All right, greetings from the president, right?

[00:14:38]Be on the bus on this date." And uh and it changes our world and it changes our society and it changes our country and it changes our future.

[00:14:50]We've been through this time and time before.

[00:14:54]um World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, all those the people didn't want war.

[00:15:03]The American people did not want war.

[00:15:06]These were wars created by those who wanted war, which were not the American people.

[00:15:12]The Gulf War, the Giwat, yeah, you know, the the the people kind of wanted those because it didn't affect them. It was uh you know, it was a TV war. was the the the Gulf War was a was a short one, right? We went and did something we shouldn't have done to begin with and um and then it was over and yay. Yay. Right. We got Saddam. Um and the GWAT's been going on for what how long, man? You know, over 20 years.

[00:15:48]And uh the Americans wanted that. The American people wanted that at first. At first and then many Americans got smarter.

[00:16:02]So either this is going to be uh a war that we get into that the American people don't want or something has to happen to make the American people want it. And you know what I'm talking about there.

[00:16:17]And uh that that would take something big real big and um that in itself would cause a major change in our country.

[00:16:34]So I think that war has become to where before it was started as a possibility.

[00:16:41]Now in our minds in in their minds it's probably always been inevitable, right?

[00:16:45]that in our minds it was possible than it's probable. No, I think it's inevitable. And and I think it's best to get ready for it. And getting ready for it is nothing more than just being prepared. Getting prepared. I mean, get more prepared than you've ever been before. Ever been before. There's a lot of people out there kind of playing around and and preparedness kind of, you know, and a lot of people just watch these channels for entertainment. I understand that. But some of you uh watch them to actually learn and actually get, you know, to to think about what what uh what I or other creators say and say, "Okay, let me take that into consideration and uh and let me see what I can do about that." And I suggest you do. I suggest that you start preparing now more than you ever have before because we have people out there who will not back down, who will not take the offramp from this war in my opinion. Okay? And and that means you know everything that you need to be successfully independent of dependence on those external systems like I always say over which you have little or no control food, water, shelter, defense, people.

[00:18:00]Simple as that. And this might be a good time to throw in here that uh I wrote about this and I gave you the master plan. I gave everybody the master plan and the Stonem series, my books, the sponsor of this and all of my videos.

[00:18:18]Uh, the Stonem series, the reversion, the revival, the renewal and appeal to heaven, the blessings of freedom, hostages to fortune, and on wings like eagles. seven sequential novels that trace a family, a prepared family who after the the the collapse of the entire world as a result of an earthilling CME.

[00:18:39]As a result of their preparedness, they were able to continue living well and able to help other people and start to rebuild. I I wrote it I wrote the first one and the first one came out in 2017 and I wrote it just started as a short story because a lot of people were asking me because I I I taught you know I've been involved in preparedness from all my life and u and people kept asking me what what you know what what should we do it came out around uh well this was around the time of that um Doom Prepper show so a lot of people were getting interested in it right and so I I I kept asking asking this answering the same question. So I said, "Okay, I'll just write a short story, maybe 20 pages, and I'll I'll you know, print it out." And whenever somebody says, "What should I do to really get prepared?" I say, "Here, read, read this, you know, and I just put it in a short story."

[00:19:31]Well, I just kept writing and writing and writing, and it became the first book, the reversion, and then people wanted more. So, I wrote the the the revival and then after that the renewal and it just kept on going and I'm in the middle of well I'm almost done with writing the the eighth book uh which should be out here in a couple of months. But anyway, this is the if you want to know how how to get completely ultimately prepared uh and you haven't read these, this might be the next thing you do. You'll love the story and you will learn more than you can imagine.

[00:20:01]And I've had people tell me they've read through the whole thing five times and and and because they love the story so much, but and they love the world that they they find in here. You will enjoy this world in here that I write about more than you enjoy the world you live in now. Okay. Um and but they but they they keep reading and they said my fifth time through I I still learning things because I was so engrossed in the story that I I missed this lesson and that lesson and all that. So I I you know there there you go. I had a guy also this the other day that bought his 14th set complete set from me cuz he wanted to send it to he always sends it to people that he thinks you know should should know. And uh so you can get them a couple of different ways. You can get them either through Amazon and that link's down below or you can get them a better way the way I always say I love you to get them and that is directly from me through our website stonemont. us and that link is also down below. And when you do it that way, I I love it when you do it that way because then I sign each one for you. I write a note in each one to you.

[00:21:10]Young kid on his motorcycle. I don't get upset of that. I used to do that. I bet you did too, right?

[00:21:16]So uh so I write a note in each one to you and uh and I love that because then I I feel a sense of relationship with you and uh and you can also through the if you get it through the website you can buy the whole series as a set. You can't do that through uh Amazon and you save some money on that. So that's what I might suggest you read that and it'll change it'll change the way you you view preparedness. It really will. and it will uh it'll change. Some people have said it it's changed the way they view life. And I think that's cool.

[00:21:49]Okay. So, uh it's going to be a beautiful Saturday and a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. But while we're enjoying the beauty, let's get prepared, shall we? And let's take a look at a look at things realistically.

[00:22:01]And uh it's it's we can always hope that it doesn't happen, but uh you know um let's prepare while we hope. Okay. All right. You all have a good day.

[00:22:11]Remember, we prepare well today in order to live well tomorrow. And who doesn't want to live well, right? Okay, y'all have a good day. I'll talk to you later.

[00:22:21]Bye-bye.
