The Strange Truth: Megadrought Rips Through Central USA

[00:00:37] Hello and welcome to another episode of The Strange Truth. I'm your host Carl B. And hopefully everybody's having a, you know, had a good week, right? And hopefully your weekend will be stellar, right? It will be, you know, a good weekend for y'all.

[00:00:56] You know, I say, you know, here's what I say. I say if you are stressed about a lot of everything that's going on in the world right now, you know, maybe you can always, always, always turn this off and come back to it in another time when you can handle it. You know, the goal is not to have you stressed. The goal is to have you, you know, ready, right? When the emergency comes along, right? The goal is to have you ready, ready to go.

[00:01:24] There's a lot going on in our world. Since my last podcast, there's been a lot going on. You know, we're hammering the Houthis and we've got carriers being sent, you know, to the Middle East. The clock is winding down on Iran. The clock is sticking with them on that.

[00:01:48] But I don't think that if we do strike Iran, I don't think that the Russians are going to get involved. They don't really want that necessarily on their plate right now. So right now, the Iranians, you know, they're in a sticky situation at this point because I do believe that, you know, President Trump really means to, you know, do something about the nuclear threat down there in Iran.

[00:02:15] So we'll see how that plays out. What, you know, what could that action really look like? I guess, you know, what is he going to blow up, you know, suspected Iranian nuclear sites? You know, it's going to be interesting to see what and how that whole operation, you know, how it goes down. But the Iranians got to realize that the guy is serious.

[00:02:44] Yeah, he wants all that stuff gone because it really does threaten that entire region. And I think it would just completely destabilize the entire region. And I think he wants all that stuff gone and he's going to try and make it happen. So there's that going on down there in the Middle East. You know, we're still trying to do our thing with the Russians, right?

[00:03:07] You know, try to talk him down and make peace between them and the Ukrainians so we can stabilize Europe. Because if it's left up to the Europeans, the Europeans are going to have us in another world war. It's just the nature, it seems, of that area. You know, the way those folks, you know, operate. They've started two world wars, really. It was Europeans that started two world wars. Apart from, you know, yeah, there was Japan and all that.

[00:03:35] But, you know, and this time we have the Chinese foil as well. But, you know, they've started two world wars and they seem really like they seriously want to head for another. And that's just more millions. And this time it's going to be even, I would say, you know, four or five times, you know, the cost of World War II.

[00:04:04] Because nukes are going to be used if it gets, you know, if it comes to that. So, you know, the people of Europe need to wake up. These leftist fascist governments that they've got going there, you know, because that's what they are. They're fascist. You know, all of these governments that are running every single European Union country are leftist and they're fascist. They have really co-opted language.

[00:04:34] They've co-opted language. And, you know, to the fact where, you know, they'll say, OK, you know, we're doing all of this for your own best interest. So we're going to crack down on speech and, you know, any speech we don't like, we're going to call hate speech. And anyone that's conservative or on the right, we'll call them far right. And we'll associate those people with Nazis. And then we'll just criminalize them. So we don't have to really necessarily deal with them more.

[00:05:02] So when they when they when they have anything to say, we'll just shut them down immediately and and even lock them up and fight them and destroy your lives. You know, because all in the name of free speech. Right. All in the name of free speech. So it's it's it's crazy what's going on in Europe. If you're listening to this, if you can in Europe, because that's another thing, too.

[00:05:25] Right. You know, broadcast like this, you know, is going to become less and less available to Europeans. You know, they're just going to get a real kind of government manufactured, sugary coded, you know, propaganda filled.

[00:05:47] You know, that, you know, their news and everything that they they consume is going to be filtered and is going to be, you know, is going to be monitored. You know, they're already living in 1984. Most Europeans just don't seem to know it yet. But they they are going to have to if if it's not already too late, they are already going to have to they're going to have to deal.

[00:06:14] They're going to have to really try to get those people out of power because, you know, what's the point of having a party that wins most of the vote if that party is is then deemed, you know, you know, if they're deemed criminal or unlawful. Right. If they ban them, then, of course, you know, that shuts down those voices in their community. So that's that's where they're heading.

[00:06:43] You know, they're heading towards. Well, they are already there. They're, you know, all I would say what now 10 members of the EU. Right. I think they've got like 10, right. 10 countries in the EU or I have to look it up. But I would say that every single because they all sign on to the same program. Right. They all speak with the same voice. Pretty much, except maybe for Hungary and sometime probably Poland. There's a few outliers, but for the most part, they all got to march to the same tune.

[00:07:12] And, you know, to me, it's just setting up. It's setting up a really bad scenario in Europe, a really bad scenario in Europe. Wouldn't want to live there. You know, wouldn't mind visiting. Wouldn't want to live there. Right. You know, it's going to be a leftist dystopia. Right. A nightmare.

[00:07:37] And I feel really sorry for the people who've got to really deal with it. They're shutting everything down. They're shutting religion down. You know, they're shutting everything down right now. Right. You know, it's just a matter. They'll they'll pivot. If you're living there and you're like, yeah, I'm fine. I never say anything that's inflammatory or whatever. It's just a matter of time that they're going to pivot to something that you really, really care about.

[00:08:05] And then you're going to realize that, man, it's too late. I don't have any power to do anything about any of this. And and then you have a really bad situation. Right. Right. So it's crazy. Right. Because the Democratic Party, for the most part, you know, they yeah, they they tout all of this inclusivity and all of this other stuff. But it's either my high my way or the highway for those folks. Right.

[00:08:32] They don't want to live in the house with you. They want to you know, they they want to they prefer to just burn the entire house down rather than live with you in it. And that's what they're doing all over the place at this point. Right. It's crazy. It's really, really crazy. Anyway, we're going to talk about the new Dust Bowl or Dust Bowl situation. Well, this ongoing is I shouldn't say new.

[00:08:59] It's an ongoing issue that's going on in the United States right now with all the droughts and stuff like that. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about how there is this culture of violence. Now, that's disturbing. This really disturbing culture of violence on the left side of the spectrum, the political spectrum. We're going to quickly discuss that and how it might impact us, how it might impact you.

[00:09:25] And then we're going to get really strange again with a few interesting, you know, almost supernatural stories. Right. We're going to take a look at the whole Darrow. You know, they they recloned. They well, they cloned what they were. They're calling a Darrow wolf. Right. And this underwater parameter believed to be, what, 12000 years old there in Taiwan. You know, I'm just we'll take a look at those really, really cool stories as well.

[00:13:30] This stuff is not being really reported out there in the, you know, in the mainstream media. But, you know, we're always we are always ahead of the mainstream media here on PBN. It's just incredible. So, but, you know, this will affect people living in, you know, the mid section, you know, mid parts of the United States. You know, it affects our food supply. It affects a lot of different things. And it's really, really seriously important.

[00:14:00] And it's happening right now. So this was written by Michael Snyder over there at the most important news dot com. And you can go check it out for yourself. But let's see. It says 1930s dust bowl conditions are returning to the middle of the United States. Read a little bit of the article here. Absolutely gigantic dust storms are triggering massive highway pileups in the middle of the country. Virtually the entire southwest is currently experiencing at least some level of drought.

[00:14:31] And dust storms and soil erosion are now costing our economy more than more than 100 billion dollars every year. If you think that what we're witnessing is normal, you're simply not being rational. The same conditions that prevailed during the dust bowl years of the 1930s are returning. And scientists have warned us that the mega drought that has now begun could continue for a long time to come.

[00:14:57] Last month, a series of enormous dust storms caused a tremendous amount of chaos throughout the middle portion of the nation. A series of enormous dust storms swept the plains states last week, triggering massive highway pileups, a spike in emergency room visits and dirty rain a thousand miles away.

[00:15:17] The storms were driven by winds in excess of 70 miles per hour across a vast stretch of dry fields and prairie from New Mexico and western Texas. In Kansas, at least 55 vehicles were involved in one particular highway pileup and eight people end up dying. At least eight people died after more than 55 vehicles were involved in a crash due to a dust storm in Kansas, authority said Saturday.

[00:15:46] And it says at 3.22 p.m. local time on Friday, high winds moved into northwest Kansas from Colorado, causing a severe dust storm, leading to traffic to slow due to near zero visibility, resulting in multiple crashes on I-70. Eight people died in the interstate pileup and numerous injuries were reported with Kansas Highway Patrol said Saturday. There were also vehicle pileups and traffic fatalities in Texas.

[00:16:15] In Texas, four people were killed in car crashes around the city of Amarillo, caused by a dust storm on Friday, according to the state's public safety department. One of the deaths happened after three lorries collided with four other vehicles in Palmer County, Bovinia's Fire Chief Cesar Marquez said. Another occurred after a pileup of an estimated 38 cars. It's the worst I've seen.

[00:16:43] Public Safety Department Sergeant Cindy Barkley said, calling the near zero visibility a nightmare. And it says here, as far north as Wisconsin, people are being warned to stay inside during the dust storms that suddenly erupted last month. In their wake, air quality readings spiked well beyond levels deemed hazardous by the Environmental Protection Agency.

[00:17:07] Public health officials warned millions of people as far away as Wisconsin to stay indoors as the dust swept through. I've never been hit in the face with a shovel, but I imagine it feels something like this, said a social media user in New Mexico who was diagnosed with dust pneumonia after visiting the hospital. When the dust is so bad that it makes you feel like you've been hit in the face with a shovel, that is a sign that dust bowl conditions have returned to your community. Let's just be honest here.

[00:17:37] Everything is not going to be okay. And the Southwest just keeps on getting even drier. According to one report, the state of Texas has struggled mightily in the rainfall department so far in 2025. Since the start of 2025, Texas has struggled mightily in the rainfall department with the exception of Piney Woods and parts of southeast Texas near Houston. It has been very, very, very dry start to the year.

[00:18:05] If current trends continue, it won't be too long before many areas of the state simply start running out of water.

[00:18:28] If you're listening to Texas and you're hearing this, I'm sure that you've been probably aware of this. Despite all of our advanced technology, we just can't defeat a mega drought. Further north, water levels in Lake Powell and Lake Mead have dropped to extremely low levels once again.

[00:18:48] You know, it seems like every year, like once a year, I'm doing a, you know, a podcast and I'm talking about, you know, water levels in Lake Mead. Right. This has been going on for many, many years now. It says here, combined storage in Lake Powell and Lake Mead is down 691,000 acre feet from this time last year with storage at 33 percent of capacity.

[00:19:15] The lake provides water to tens of millions of people across the U.S. southwest and Mexico, support agricultural operations and generate hydraulic power. Earlier estimates suggest Lake Mead would begin 2025 below 1,075 foot level. That triggers mandatory conservation measures on the federal drought contingency plans. This is becoming a recurring theme.

[00:19:43] We're highly dependent on Lake Powell and Lake Mead. And if they keep going dry, we're going to have a major crisis on our hands. A decade ago, scientists tried to warn us that this would be coming. Here in the American Southwest, droughts have become something to expect. But a new study warns that the Southwest and Central Plains could face a mega drought early this century. Unlike anything seen for a millennia, it could be as bad as the 1930s dust bowl, but lasting for 35 years.

[00:20:12] Study co-author Toby Ault of Cornell told an audience of reporters at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, where the results were announced Thursday. And it says here, the mega drought that they were warning about is now here.

[00:20:31] In fact, we're being told that since the year 2000, conditions in the western half of North America have been slightly drier on average than a similar mega drought in the late 1500s. Wow. Wow. If this mega drought persists, the dust bowl conditions in the middle of the country will only intensify.

[00:20:59] So, you know, it's something to keep an eye on. Again, you know, if you do if you live in this area, if you live in, you know, in the middle of the country and if you've noticed that it's been getting drier, the conditions have been pretty dry. Then, you know, you really should just then plan accordingly. Right. You know, you plan accordingly and, you know, to deal with it. Just, you know, interesting.

[00:21:26] You don't see anything about this necessarily on on the mainstream media. You know, it's all about how it's all. The only thing you see on the mainstream media now is just, you know, political, you know, infighting or, you know, news being delivered with a political slant. Right. You don't really get the real stuff here. All right. So that's the whole thing with the dust bowl. Just wanted to bring you guys up to, you know, right up to speed on that.

[00:21:54] And there was an interesting article. There was an interesting article that's gotten a lot of play in the alternate media and, you know, well, on some regular platforms. And it's the report by the Network Contagion Research Institute, the NCRI Institute.

[00:22:17] And, you know, this troubling trend of, you know, violence on the left continues. You know, it's really amazing to me that, you know, with all the stuff happening out there, all the violence that, you know, that's happening caused by people with leftists, you know, with a leftist political agenda. You know, let's be fair.

[00:22:45] If you're going to complain about, you know, the right, then you got to complain about the left. And you can't have, you know, we got we got to be fair and balanced. Right. You can't have violence. Right. Against against, you know, against people, against like, you know, political opponents, you know, against their, you know, their businesses. You know, you really shouldn't do that. You know, it shouldn't come to if you want to boycott something, boycott. Right.

[00:23:14] It's another thing to to to use physical violence. You know, you know, they set fire to a car or they set fire to a building. You know, do they know if especially with buildings, do you know if there's anybody inside that can't get out? You know, certain things like that. Right. You know, the whole thing just is it's just it's just pretty nasty.

[00:23:35] But, you know, they do the the mostly leftist mainstream media is they're they're just not really, really like paying attention to any of this. And that's why they've lost credibility with the American people. Right. But let me read the report really quickly for you.

[00:23:51] The Network Contagion Research Institute, the NCRI, recently issued a new report which found that a growing number of people are willing to justify and even applaud killing in the name of politics and a warped sense of social justice, per Fox News. The chilling change appears to have accelerated in recent months. This is the study's term for it. They call it assassination culture.

[00:24:18] So especially on the left side of the spectrum, you have this assassination culture that's here that, you know, it's spreading here. And well, it's now taken firm root, you know, on the left side of the political spectrum. According to the study, the left's embrace of violence to achieve a political end began with the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December.

[00:24:48] After Luigi Mangione was arrested and charged with the assassination, the left immediately turned him into a folk hero. This is even a ballot measure in California called the Lou. There is even a ballot measure in California called the Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act. So they're using a murderer to, you know, as it's insane, isn't it?

[00:25:16] So this guy goes out and shoots somebody in the head, murders somebody in cold blood. And now this guy is some kind of folk hero. You know, it's insane. But that's the world we live in, right? That's the world we're living in. Finkelstein explained that the Luigi fanboying merely opened the door to this frightening acceptability. The left's assassination culture has spread ever since.

[00:25:44] It's not just Luigi anymore, Finkelstein told Fox. We're seeing an expansion. Trump, Musk and others are now being openly discussed as legitimate targets, often cloaked in meme culture and gamified online dialogue. This culture can be found primarily in democratic safe spaces like the ex-alternative blue sky. The most chilling information is found on the NCRI poll of 1,200 adults.

[00:26:14] A disturbing 48.6% of those who self-identify as left of center said the murder of Elon Musk is justifiable. That number increased to 55.2% for President Trump when asked if destroying Tesla dealerships is partially acceptable. 57.6% of leftists said yes. Isn't that insane? Can you imagine if it was Republicans saying this?

[00:26:43] The media would be going, you know, they'd be going like, you know, crazy with that information. This is seriously disturbing. And it's just kind of like in Europe where, you know, the left have really like co-opted the culture to the point where, you know, they have this really, you know, they have this really kind of, I don't want to call it a soft fascism.

[00:27:13] There's no fascism going on there because no fascism is soft, right? They just haven't. Well, they have actually started throwing people in prison in Europe for saying the wrong thing or thinking the wrong thing. Right. Or for praying the wrong way or whatever. Right. They're already throwing people in prison, finding them, destroying their lives, going after them, labeling them bigots or really horrible things. Right.

[00:27:37] Just because they don't agree with, you know, with, you know, with the leftist, you know, agenda here. Right. But let's just finish this. Let's see. Blue Sky was modeled as a safe alternative to Twitter for the left. But what it's become is an extremist platform, Finkelstein explained.

[00:28:01] And the thing that gets me is that they say all of these really horrible things with a smile on their face and they're acting like it's some kind of joke. But we know that it's not really some kind of joke. And they'll go and they'll curse out like, you know, you know, X, the X platform and say how horrible the X platform is and yada, yada, yada. But that's what true, you know, freedom of speech is.

[00:28:28] It's not censoring one, one, one, one, you know, voices, even voices that you don't like. Right. You know, so and amplify the voices that you do like. You know, even the crazy voices, what would be qualified as crazy is being amplified on that platform now. And it's insane. Right. It's really seriously insane. Let's see. He clarified.

[00:28:59] We're not an anti free speech organization, but we know what a threat is and what's happening online on platforms like Blue Sky represent a significant threat to America to American democratic values. Rather than censor this assassination culture, Finkelstein said, if leaders on the left explicitly condemn these trends and reassert normal moral norms, they can dismantle this culture quickly. And therein lies the problem.

[00:29:27] Leading Democrats will never condemn political violence because they approve of political violence that further their cause. The corporate media will never pressure Democrats to condemn this violence because the corporate media approve of and encourage political violence that furthers the leftist cause. You know, because they're like, yeah, you know, all of this is justified. Right.

[00:29:48] You know, this this this is moral, you know, outrage is, you know, is is what they want to classify all of this stuff as. Right. Which is, you know, which is just basically, you know, false. Joel Figgelstein, one of the lead authors of the report, told Fox what was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable on the left.

[00:30:11] We're seeing a clear shift glorification, increased attempts and changing norms, all converging into what we define as assassination culture.

[00:30:20] And, you know, remember that term, because I think over the next year, over the next year or two, we're going to see some really horrible things occur because the media and the folks on the political left that that can control this won't. And and and it's going to have some really serious consequences.

[00:30:47] You know, people are going to lose their lives, their livelihood, their their, you know, their, you know, their business, you know, their jobs because of this. So keep an eye out for that, guys. All right. So let's see. Right. You know, interesting times. Right. You know, what is the old Chinese curse? May you live in interesting times. Right. I don't want to be living in interesting times. I want my I want the times I'm living in to be really, really boring. Right. Anyway.

[00:31:17] So two interesting. I'm just going to read, you know, two interesting, really strange articles that appeared in the news media recently. Right. And the dire wolf situation and the underwater pyramid pyramid. Right. So, you know, we got to get strange here on the strange truth. So this one's from red state. Right. And it says a dire situation.

[00:31:42] Scientists claim to have brought back long extinct Game of Thrones species, the dire wolf. Jurassic Park became a bestselling book and hit them and hit and hit movie precisely because while its premise that we could bring back dinosaurs was not possible at the time. And that's the same time. Readers and viewers knew it would likely be achievable in a not too distant future due to scientific advances and breakthroughs in our study of DNA.

[00:32:07] One company has said that the day has now arrived and that they've brought back to life a species that has been gone for the from the planet for thousands of years. The dire wolf, the larger version of today's wolves that were made popular in the Game of Thrones universe. When you read the fine print, you see that the company Colossal's bioscientists didn't actually bring back 100 percent authentic dire wolf. But it's arguably pretty close. Right. Let's see.

[00:32:37] In 2021, a separate team of scientists managed to retrieve DNA from fossils of dire wolves, which went extinct about 13,000 years ago. With the discovery of additional DNA, the colossal researchers have now edited 20 genes of gray wolves to imbue the animals with key features of dire wolves. They then created embryos from the edited gray wolf cells, implanted them in surrogate dog mothers and waited for them to give birth.

[00:33:03] The result is three healthy wolves, two males that are six months old and one female that is two months old named Romulus, Remus and Kalishi. That have some traits of dire wolves. They should grow to be quite large, but for now, they're pretty darn cute. So Jurassic Park is here, folks.

[00:33:25] The same whole editing the gene, you know, they can't they can't bring it back 100 percent because some of the information is lost, but they can fill it in with animals that are really close. Right. And that's the whole premise of Jurassic Park. That's here. The question is, should we be doing it? Right. Should we be doing it? Should we be messing with nature? Right. They most likely went extinct for a reason. Right. Right. And then another interesting story here.

[00:33:53] This one is on endtimes.org, but it's a bit on different platforms. And it says and this one, you know, underwater. Underwater pyramid believed to be 12000 years old, discovered near Taiwan could reshape history. A remarkable, remarkable discovery off the coast of an undisclosed location has ignited global intrigue. A massive underwater structure resembling a pyramid believed to be approximately 12000 years old.

[00:34:21] If confirmed, this finding could challenge established timelines of human civilization and force historians and archaeologists to reconsider the origins of advanced architectural knowledge. Reports emerging from various news outlets indicate that the structure was first identified by a team of marine researchers using advanced sonar technology during a routine expedition.

[00:34:43] The formation, submerged at a depth of over 100 meters, appears to exhibit precise geometric shapes uncommon in natural underwater formations. Initial estimates suggest it predates known monumental construction such as Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza by several millennia.

[00:35:02] According to a detailed account from a leading news source, the structure spans roughly 60 meters at its base and rises to a height of 25 meters with what appears to be stepped levels akin to Asian pyramids. A sunken pyramid near Taiwan may rewrite everything we thought we knew about the Asian world.

[00:35:22] Sitting just 82 feet below sea level near the Rairu Islands of Japan, the mysterious Yongunji monument has been stomping and astonishing researchers since its discovery in 1986. This giant structure with sharp angled step stands roughly 90 feet tall appears to be made entirely of stone, leading many to believe it was man-made.

[00:35:46] However, tests of the stone show it to be over 10,000 years old, meaning that if a civilization built this pyramid by hand, it would have taken place before this region sank underwater more than 12,000 years ago. Wow. Wow.

[00:36:05] So they're finding all of these structures all over the place that are predating, you know, that 10,000 kind of, you know, mark, right? You know, the pyramids of Giza. They're finding all of these structures all over the planet now. And even the structure that they found underneath the pyramid, right? So they're finding all these structures.

[00:36:30] And it just goes to show you, right, that, you know, for many, many years, right, scientists have pretty much, they've tried to get rid of, you know, religion out of science, right? You know, not understanding that, you know, religion is science, right? You know, they've tried to create their own timeline, you know, of how things occurred and how the world was made and everything else.

[00:36:59] And I think that they're probably realizing that, you know, a lot more went on in on our planet. A lot more went on probably, you know, on Mars and other places, right, that we dare dream of. Right? A lot of this stuff has been hid from us for a long time. And now, because of all our technology, we are beginning to figure things out, we're beginning to find things out.

[00:37:28] And, you know, for somebody like me with a religious perspective, it all just kind of makes perfect sense. You know, it never really surprises me. It does surprise them because they have a really, really fixed view of how, you know, of how human civilizations evolved on the planet. And I think that there is a lot more to it than the scientists are willing to acknowledge.

[00:37:58] Right? But some interesting news there. Right? We do live in interesting times. And, you know, if you are a religious bent, right, you realize, you know, and especially if you are, if you, you know, if you study eschatology, right, you know, which is, you know, like looking at the, you know, the end of days, right? You know, how it all is going to end here on the planet, right?

[00:38:24] You know, if you study eschatology, then you know that some really strange things are going to happen. You know, when all of this is drawing to a close, some really strange things are going to occur. You know, you know, you know that there's got to, there's going to be a one world, well, kind of a one world government, one world system.

[00:38:51] And when you look at what's going on in the EU with the suppression of any voice that they don't like and trying to control information, you know, and basically, you know, streamlining, like, the, you know, like the money, you know, the financial systems of, you know, globally, right? And different things, you know, it makes you sit up, take notice, makes you sit up and take notice, right? Okay.

[00:39:21] This is where I'm going to leave it. Okay. We've had a pretty interesting conversation. And oh, by the way, if all this tariff stuff is making you nervous, right? Years ago, I wrote a book. It's fictional, you know, called The Prepper Part 1, The Collapse, right? And it's by me, Carl A.D. Brown. So that's The Prepper Part 1, The Collapse. It's available over there by Amazon. You can go, you can check it out. It's about a family surviving an economic collapse, right?

[00:39:45] And, you know, they've got to survive that whole, you know, crazy scenario of the economy completely crashing and the world just going nuts, right? You know, America implodes, right? The world implodes. And, yeah, you're in a dystopian end of the world kind of scenario, right?

[00:40:14] But so if you like reading that type of stuff, you can go on over to Amazon. You can check out The Prepper Part 1, The Collapse by Carl A.D. Brown, right? And just check that out. And hope you enjoy it. Okay. It's a scary little book every prepper should read, right? The scary little book every prepper should read. All right. So have a great weekend. Keep listening to PBN, right? You know, these are serious times and serious times require serious people. Okay.
