North Korea has tested another nuclear device, their second successful test this year.
Welcome to Skywatch TV for Tuesday, September 13, 2016.
I'm Derek Gilbert in studio, a special guest, gentlemen who can explain exactly why this
is not good news.
He is the founder and chairman of the Fitness Chain Curves International, but more importantly
for our discussion, the writer and producer of the film, now available on DVD and Blu-ray,
Amerageddon.
We welcome Gary Haven back to Skywatch TV.
Gary, good to see you again.
Good to see you, Gary.
The test of this device, the fifth successful nuclear test according to the North Korean
government, second one this year.
The first was in January, just before that satellite they launched, which was February
7.
Just ahead of the Super Bowl, wasn't it?
Didn't it fly right over Super Bowl, if I remember correctly?
But the device they tested this past Thursday evening, it was like 7.30 p.m. central time
here in the States, registered a magnitude 5 on the seismic detectors in South Korea
where they keep a very close watch on this.
They estimate it yielded about 10 kilotons.
Not a big nuclear device by comparison to some of the devices that the U.S. and Russia
have tested.
Why is this something that we should be concerned about?
You know, Derek, this is really important for the American people to understand.
In my movie, American, we actually depict an electromagnetic pulse attack on America.
And what that means is that you can take a small nuclear device, put it on a satellite,
and detonate it in a high atmosphere over our country.
And the energy that's created, it knocks out all electronic devices.
Things like the electric grid will just shut down.
And people have no power, no refrigeration, no banking, and so forth.
And North Korea, who is the sworn enemy of our country, and Kim Jong-un continually threatens
to destroy us, right?
You know, it's kind of a weekly event that he's doing.
I think it's a hobby.
These small nuclear detonations are designed not to put on a ballistic missile and explode
over New York, they're designed for an EMP.
And you know, North Korea will never have the ability to fire enough missiles, like
Russia could, and hit all over cities.
What they do have the ability to do, though, is to detonate a small device, creating an
EMP.
So, it's clear that the North Koreans' only strategy to destroy America is through that
kind of device.
But you're not told by American defense that that's what they're doing, and they're successful
in that endeavor.
You're told that these small detonations are not going to harm anything or not be effective.
They know better.
They know that the real threat is from an EMP.
And you know, the United States Congress did two congressional studies on an EMP and determined
that 90% of Americans would be dead in 12 months.
And so they had the ability to bring us back to the 1800s, with most of us being dead, as
a real threat.
Twice a day, a North Korean satellite flies over the center of this country at the optimum
altitude to do this.
That's the real threat.
And they are succeeding in accomplishing that.
But you don't hear a thing about that in the mainstream media.
That's why I made the movie, and that's why you and I are talking about it today.
In the U.S. faced existential threats or, you know, serious threats, military threats
in the past, World War II, we developed a whole new category of heavy bomber in order
to take the fight to Germany, to Japan.
In the 1950s, anticipating the possibility of war on American soil, which hasn't happened
since, well, the American Civil War, Eisenhower, President Eisenhower kicked off the interstate
system.
Basically, so we could move military hardware and personnel across the country in a real
hurry.
Now we think it's just there to, you know, make it easy for us to go on vacation.
Why has the Congress and the President, and recent presidents, not just Barack Obama,
but George W. Bush, who was also aware of this, why has our government not responded
to this type of threat with the same sort of energy and vision that we did back in the
40s and 50s?
You know, first of all, the response to the threat would be hardening the grid.
It means spending about $2 billion, which, by the way, is the amount of money we gave
to Pakistan last year.
Yeah, it's chump change.
Yeah.
So $2 billion bucks, they could harden the grid and protect 90% of us from dying.
So it's a nominal amount of money.
There's a couple of reasons.
I'll give the kind of the more obvious reasons first.
One is, is that, you know, our representatives in Washington really are spending all of their
time doing things for the money's interest.
They really don't have the American people in mind.
And there's a lot of evidence to demonstrate that.
The second thing is, is that, you know, they're incompetent.
We are sending the biggest fools from our community to represent us in Washington.
So if they're not incompetent, they're foolish, or they're criminally complicit because there's
no money in it.
But there's a big reason that I've been talking about publicly for a while now.
And this movement towards globalism, you know, Henry Kissinger said that the only thing
standing in the way of a strong America, or a world government, excuse me, is a strong
America.
People like Hillary Clinton and the elitists who want to acquire global power need to diminish
the United States.
And things like the open borders or the unvetted refugees or the massive indebtedness that
have been put on us and our children, these are designed to diminish this country.
And I don't excuse it for incompetence.
I believe that a lot of it is by design because they want us to diminish so that we will give
up our sovereignty to a global power.
I know that in previous conversations, we talked about what the state of Texas has done
to harden its own grid.
And there is a certain streak of independence that Texans are very proud of.
And rightly so, I think.
In fact, I noticed this past year that the Board of Governors for the University of Texas
has moved to repatriate the gold that it holds as part of its endowment from New York to
the state of Texas.
Why is Texas taking these steps and the rest of the country not doing what Texas is doing?
Because it seems to me that makes a lot of sense.
We're fortunate in Texas to have real leadership.
I personally know the governor and the lieutenant governor, and these are godly men.
I attended the inauguration.
I was up on stage with the governor.
There was only 75 of us, which is pretty cool on a state of 24 million.
And I watched the governor give his speech where he said, as governor, I will pass no
laws that are not consistent with our Judeo-Christian values.
He'd already been elected.
So he didn't have to say that.
He was astounding.
So we have really good people that understand personal responsibility.
They understand the responsibility to their constituents.
The President of the United States, his first duty is to protect the citizens.
But instead, he's bringing in unvetted Syrian refugees that the FBI says up to 10 percent
of them are radicalized.
He's opened the borders.
He's releasing illegal aliens that were arrested for violent crimes.
He released 100,000 of them into our country without deporting them.
So there is an obvious movement of people in power in Washington that want to diminish
the United States.
And Texas is blessed with good leadership and enough Texans that will demand good government
from our state.
And Texas isn't alone.
There are good people in every state, but states like New York and California or Washington
have been given over to dependency and, you know, being dependents of the state and the
government's going to help you and take care of you.
And I really feel sorry for people who live in those states because they are absolutely
vulnerable to a government that's gone wrong.
Yeah.
My home state of Illinois is in the same boat.
Sadly, the longer I lived, I'm from Chicago originally, and the longer we live for four
years in the southern third of the state.
And I began to understand why the folks down there wish everything north of I-80 would
just, you know, secede and go its own way.
The film American is a very compelling depiction of what could happen and the struggles that
people would face if they are depending on the government to save them from an event
like an EMP, which basically would blast us back into the 1880s or further back.
Really, the only people who would be prepared are the Amish.
What message do you hope?
I mean, because it's easy to build a really scary plot line.
So when you approach this, writing this film, how did you try to balance that with a message
of hope?
Well, you know, the first thing I did was I made an entertaining movie that would also
make a difference.
We used everything we could as fact-based.
You know, we showed what the government could do, what they've enacted into law or policy,
including giving the UN power to come into this country and take our weapons away in
the event of a disaster.
And all that's fact.
So it was fact-based.
You could bring your friends and, you know, people, maybe they're not caught up to you
and let them learn about the threat that we have to our freedoms.
The other thing is that we show how to speak out, you know, the opening scene.
My character is speaking to the Senate, demanding action, and they're seeing the Senate response,
which is in fact very, very true.
My own congressman's lines were used in the movie.
When I challenged him on the National Defense Authorization Act, which by the way, suspends
Fifth Amendment rights in the process.
They could arrest you for any reason.
For suspicion, without facing your accuser, be held indefinitely.
That exists right now.
And his response was, oh, that's just a spending bill.
So, you know, it's, you know, you get to see the real-life event that's happening here
and teaching people.
But you also see my character preparing.
You know, every good boy scout ought to have a few months of food in the home, ability
to source water, the ability to buy and sell without cash, which is at threat right now.
And, of course, the ability to protect those things.
It's not expensive.
If you have children, you have a responsibility to do a few things to protect them.
And I challenge people and encourage people to take these actions because these threats
are very real.
We're living in a time where you could have any kind of a disaster, economic, at any moment.
So it's important that we take our responsibilities as parents and as members of the community
to do all that we can to make sure that those that are in our charge are going to have their
needs met.
Yeah.
It's something I think we can all agree on.
I mean, as Christians, we find it very easy to fight over the timing of the rapture and,
you know, how complicit the government might actually be in something like this.
But Jesus told us we would suffer tribulation.
And it doesn't necessarily have to be government oppression.
It can be something like a storm.
We saw it with Sandy.
We saw it with Katrina.
We've seen it with others.
Just the flooding in Louisiana here in recent days can be the black swan that suddenly
changes your life forever if you're not prepared for it.
