Hackers Target U.S. Water Supply w/ Jeff Szur | COVID Pandemic "Lockdown Dissidents" w/ Michael Pack

Welcome to American Medicine Today, I'm Kimberly Benate alongside Ethan Euker. Exciting show, let's get to it. So municipal water systems in seven states were recently targeted by hackers, according to new FBI reports, which is a stark reminder of how vulnerable America's drinking water infrastructure has become. Joining us to discuss is Jeff Zur, a leading expert on water safety and founder of Altitude Water. Welcome to the show, Jeff. Kimberly and Ethan, thank you so much for having me on. It's an honor. Certainly. So tell us about these cyber attacks on our water supply. What happened? The world has changed, right? You know, things used to be off limits. We see it even in the Iran war, where they started bombing Dessau. You know, that goes against everything that we've ever thought of. And if you think about it, the way to cripple a country is to hit their water source. And so the cyber hacking is now waking everyone up that that's such a vulnerable asset that that can bring a country to its knees. So you have people going in. Now everything's online. If they can get into the water source and cut that off, it really will decimate all the people in the surrounding area. So it's a huge wake up call for all of us. I haven't read any of the FBI reports. And actually, as Kimberly mentioned in the intro, it was seven states. I think I heard this morning, it's like 24 states now. It's even more. It did. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, do we know anything about who these people are, their country of origin? Are they bad actors? I mean, clearly they're bad actors, but do we know who's doing this? I mean, there's a lot of guessing going on right now. You know, the interesting thing is what's happening is as you see the states starting to increase is what they're really doing is testing to see where the weak links are. As far as who's doing it, I mean, there's lots of ideas out there and lots of hypotheses. I don't want to look like a political expert. I mean, I have my own thought processes as well. But, you know, create chaos, create chaos and division, and they win. And that's what they're doing right now in one of our most valuable resources. Well, hell, at this point, it could be internal. It could be someone who lives here that's an American citizen. There's such a huge faction of society that hates this country now. You never know, right? Absolutely. Without question. It's a scary thought. I think that we all, again, when things are divisive, and you're right, it could be even within this nation. I mean, that's the world we're living in right now. So I think it's a wake-up call for all of us. These are our families. These are our kids. These are the things that we have to protect. And if we don't have water, you know, you can go a month without food. You can't go more than three days without water. So. Why do you think it is they didn't already have these spell safes in place? We've really, being in the United States, we've thought that water is a right, right? We always go to the faucet and turn it on since we've grown up. We never think about it. We never think about it as being a risk. Water has always been cheap. And we see it even with our infrastructure. You know, so our aqueducts are over a hundred years old. We've never put aside money to secure our water infrastructure or even looking at that someone would even want to attack the, you know, the internet and, you know, how a municipality runs water. So it's a huge wake-up call for us now. And unfortunately it's going to add to the expense of our water bill. Talk about decentralized onsite water generation. You say that it's essential. Can you elaborate on that? Absolutely. I mean, you know, I think one of the things we're all realizing, you know, you go back to 2008, 2009, bigger isn't always better, right? It makes it easy to attack. I think all of us are starting to realize that we have responsibilities to our families to maybe secure alternate sources, doing it for community or doing it for your household. You know, I think that our mindset is starting to change and realizing that we've got to be sustainable and we've got to be resilient in these all-important resources. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back with Jeff Zur after this. You are watching American Medicine Today. Revolutionary in his field, Dr. Bonatti created, perfected, and patented the Bonatti Spine Procedures. Using his genius, Bonatti invented the precise tools necessary to minimize surgery, scarring, anesthesia, and recovery. So successful are the Bonatti Spine Procedures, they consistently reflect 98.75% patient satisfaction. 80,000 procedures have been performed exclusively at our location. Nearly half our patients have suffered from failed back and neck surgeries at other facilities. Bonatti succeeds where others fail. Welcome back to American Medicine Today. We're continuing our discussion with Jeff Zur. Now, what are some immediate steps we can take to protect our water access? Well, again, the importance of, depending upon your economic means, but filtration alternatives. I mean, obviously my company makes machines that make pure water from the air that could provide for a family. So these hackers are going through the internet to try and do it, but the internet can be a benefit in researching for yourself and seeing what options you have to secure your water sources. Of course, I believe that my company offers a great access to it, but I tell everyone, education is so important and you have to take it upon yourself to protect your family because it's a different world out there. What does something like that run? So a home unit runs about $4,000. It'll make between four and 15 gallons of pure drinking water, depending on your location, depending upon how much water is in the air based on humidity. They last between 12 and 15 years. And if you're using 11 cents a kilowatt gallon, you'll average between 8 cents and 20 cents per gallon. Well, I'm sure here in Florida, it would work pretty well with all our humidity. I was just going to say, you would make a mint down here in Florida. I mean, I got sweat in my upper lip right here in the studio. And by the way- Well, our factory is in Lauderdale Lake, so we're going to a 10,400 square foot, so we're right in the best place to do that. So we're neighbors. So real quick, because we literally have a minute left, and also you're blocking your logo that's hanging on the wall there, Altitude Water. Tell us how people can learn more about your company and how very quickly, how do you make water out of the air? Obviously, like you said, there's humidity, there's moisture, but how does that work? We do it through nature. Nature does things right, where humans are the ones that mess it up. So your seventh grade water cycle class, we do it through condensation. And the beautiful thing is anytime water goes from a gas form to a liquid form, it's pure, it's distilled water. So that is so important. So you can contact us on altitudewaterusa.com. So people are starting to realize, and we just think that you're going to be putting the purest, alkaline, most highly oxygenated water in your body, which is important for everyone. It certainly is. Thank you so much. Jeff Zur, leading expert on water safety and founder of Altitude Water. Thank you for being on our program. Thank you so much for having me. What you guys do helps educate people and that is so important. So I really commend both of you for getting the word out there on options. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day. Well, that's all the time we have for this segment. Make sure you stay tuned. We'll have more after the break. You are watching American Medicine Today. Somewhat active type guy, but this has been gone for some time. From my lower back and occasionally shooting down my left leg, lower back pain that was like throbbing, constant discomfort, standing, sitting, walking. After speaking with Dr. Bonatti's office, I was clear that that was probably the route that I wanted to go. Like a relief, a big brick off my chest. As an Indiana business owner, Jason lived an active life of work and leisure activities. I own a couple of companies, but I'm on my feet a lot during my workday. So somewhat active type guy. I played sports all through my youth and even in college. I actually have a basketball court at my house. We would play weekly. And the last two years I told him, I said, I got to step away. I got to walk away from this. There wasn't anything specific that I remember, but this has been gone for some time. I'd say close to seven years. Most of it was from my lower back and occasionally shooting down my left leg, constant discomfort, standing, sitting, walking, throbbing, a constant lower back pain that was like level of pressure shoving against my spinal cord. Jason tried pain management with very little relief and eventually turned to surgical specialists for answers. I tried everything from chiropractors to massage therapy. I had three cortisone shots in 12 months time. I felt pretty good for about a month, but then it was right back where it was. From pain management, they recommended to visit the surgeon with all my photos, all my MRIs, all that stuff. And that's when he told me just chalk it up to old age. The depressing thing is when you walk out of a supposed expert's office and they tell you, you know, suck it up. I can deal with a lot. I have for some time, but to give up, I'm not one to quit. To be 50 years old and told you're going to live like a cripple was painful. So I was ready to get something done. Jason refused to let discouragement end his search for help. His determination eventually led him to the Bonatti Spine Institute. And that's really when I kind of went on my own to just start doing my own research and getting online and visiting everything from actual replacement disc surgery in Germany. There was also another spine place in Houston I visited. As a matter of fact, it was a friend of a friend said they went to Florida and had their spine worked on. After speaking with Dr. Bonatti's office, I was clear that that was probably the route that I wanted to go. After my phone conversation, when they finally saw my MRI and they were describing to me where my pain was, and I was in Indiana, they were looking at my MRI in Florida. And that was really quick to me. So I guess I was ambitious to get there and get it done. They were like, well, can you be here in four days? I had my backs back and I was on my way. At the Bonatti Spine Institute in Tampa Bay, Florida, Jason underwent exclusive procedures to treat the source of his pain. He recalls the immediate increased mobility and relief of pain that he experienced. When I walked out of the surgery the same day, just a few minutes after the procedure, I climbed into a vehicle and literally I went and walked probably a block about two o'clock, three o'clock that afternoon. And I noticed it immediately, like a relief, a big brick off my chest. To see more stories of recovery just like this, search for the Bonatti Spine Institute on YouTube, Rumble, Apple's App Store, Google's Play Store, Roku, and Amazon's Fire TV. Welcome back to American Medicine Today. I'm Kimberly Bonatti alongside Ethan Euker. So a new documentary is offering a never before seen look into one of the most contentious moments in recent scientific history. It's the COVID-19 pandemic and joining us to discuss is Michael Pack, director of the Lockdown Dissidents. Thank you for being on the program, Michael. Great to be with you, Kimberly. Thank you. Certainly. So first off, can you give us your thoughts on the current Fauci diary debacle, his testimony before the Senate and the recent contempt charges? Well, I'm pleased to see Anthony Fauci finally being held to account. I think that all these recent revelations probably are not surprising to your viewers and listeners, and they're not surprising to people who've seen the documentary. I think the fact that he had misled the public has been on the surface for a long time. So Jay Bhattacharya, now the head of the NIH and then a Stanford professor, as early as March of 2020 had conducted a study in Santa Clara County, California, which was replicated all over the country that found what we now know to be true, that the virus disproportionately affects older people, that there had been a lot of asymptomatic transmission, so it was too late to lock down anyway, and that it hardly affected young people, so it made no sense to close the schools. And he recommended focus protection, that we focus on the people at risk and let everybody else go about their daily life, which was the normal way to treat pandemics for hundreds of years. But once that came out, Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and others acted to suppress that information. They ignored it. Later, when it was more formally published as the Great Barrington Declaration, they trashed it. During the Biden administration, the government appealed to social media companies to shadow ban and censor these people. You can see that process in real time. We tell the whole story. So in a way, the diaries exposed perhaps an even more absurd and ridiculous Anthony Fauci, but as someone who was ignoring science and misleading the American people, I think that's been on the surface for some time. Some of my more liberal, say, family members, if you will, they were all about it, like, trust the science. And they were so behind Fauci from day one that if you questioned anything that guy said, you might as well have been blaspheming against Jesus Christ. And in his diaries, he was eating all of that attention up, yet again, conflicted on the inside about whether what he was doing was right. Well, he said he was, but who knows? I think it was ego. Well, he knew the facts. The facts were out there. And by the time Scott Atlas was on the Coronavirus Task Force, there was somebody with the counterfacts that was right there next to him. He knew. He did it anyway. It's rather a disgrace. And now the American people know. I, too, am in a liberal part of the country. I live in a suburb of Washington, D.C., Chevy Chase. And there were, thank you, Dr. Fauci, signs on the lawns of most of my neighbors. And I hope that they finally realize that maybe there was something really wrong. We, as the American people, just did what they told us. We let them suppress our freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion. We let them tell us what to do. They had no vast authority. And it was really a case where the American people, because the government declared an emergency, were willing to give up their fundamental rights. And we should not do that again. And that's why I think it's important to look back at what happened in lockdowns and see how it played out and make sure it doesn't happen again. All right. So what do you think will happen? Is he going to get jail time? I am not particularly great at predicting the future, if I wish I were. I think the most important thing is not whether he gets jail time or not, but this reputational damage that the people that we've both been talking about, all of us have been talking about that revere him, as you said, like Jesus Christ. If they understand what happened, and that you can't just trust somebody who says, I am science, the government bureaucrat. If he has enough reputational damage, I will be satisfied. And I think the threat of criminal and other charges help that process and keep them in the news. So that's my goal, is to make sure that the truth gets out after I make documentary films, and that people see Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and they're not the only ones, but that whole coterie of government scientists for what they are. Oh, yeah. I mean, you saw him, he had everybody under lockdown, he was out enjoying what was it some sort of sports game, and they were shoulder to shoulder with their friends, no masks, laughing and having a good time. Meanwhile, people were killing themselves, because I couldn't handle the lockdown. They were afraid, they couldn't be with family members, if they were in the hospital, people died and couldn't hold funerals. I mean, it was just chaos that was imparted on our country, and he should not be able to get away with it, and he should be accountable. But let's get back to your documentary. What inspired you to really make lockdown dissonance? Well, this is a series that we're doing in partnership with the Wall Street Journal opinion section, and the goal of the series is to look at issues that have been underreported, or misreported, or memory hold. And in this case, I thought we in the Wall Street Journal felt it was misreported. You make a very good point, Kimberly, that people have almost half forgotten the degree of destruction that happened on a global scale, and certainly in this country, that was unnecessary. And in some sense, I think this sort of current fad, if that's what it is, socialism comes from that too. We got used to trusting the government, letting them tell us what to do, letting them give us money and PPP loans and others, and we got into these habits that will be destructive for years to come, and we should sort of understand how it happened and make sure it just doesn't happen again. And that was really our impulse to do the film. People don't want to look back on bad times like that, but I think they really should. And I do feel these hearings, the diary and others are making people look back, and I think that's pretty useful. Where can people see The Lockdown Dissidents? Well, it's free, not behind a paywall, the Wall Street Journal YouTube or main site, where it has its own page with the other films we've done with them, wsj.com slash opinion docs, where they can navigate to it through our site, palladiumpictures.com, P-A-L-L-A-D-I-U-M, where other work is also available. Thank you so much, Michael Pack, director of The Lockdown Dissidents. Thank you for taking time to explain what's going on and be on the show. Pleasure talking to you both. Thank you.
