In a time of unprecedented political and social upheaval, the United States stands at a crossroads. The nation's sovereignty, constitutional integrity and economic stability are under siege, according to investigative journalist Ann Vandersteel. She joined the Health Ranger Mike Adams on the "Health Ranger Report" to touch on the pressing issues the country is facing – from the erosion of state sovereignty to the ongoing migrant crisis and the impending collapse of the dollar-based global financial system.

Vandersteel began by emphasizing the importance of state sovereignty, a principle enshrined by the Founding Fathers. She highlighted recent Supreme Court decisions, such as the overturning of the Chevron doctrine, as pivotal moments in reclaiming power from an overreaching administrative state. "We're starting to see the path get cleared for patriots to regain sovereignty and control of the government," said Vandersteel, formerly the host of "Steel Truth" and "Right Now" with Ann Vandersteel" on Brighteon.TV.

She pointed to Texas as a beacon of hope, noting its historical status as an independent republic. "The Republic of Texas is still a thing," Vandersteel asserted, referencing the treaty between the United Kingdom and the U.S. that recognizes Texas' unique status.

She also mentioned rumblings across the country, with governors preparing to reassert their states' independence. "We are at that moment in time where we are rebirthing our beautiful Republic," Vandersteel told the Health Ranger.

Operation Burning Edge exposes the BORDER CRISIS

One of Vandersteel's most significant contributions to the national conversation is her work on "Operation Burning Edge," a groundbreaking docuseries on Brighteon University. The series exposes the mass migration crisis at the southern border, revealing the complicity of government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in human and drug trafficking. (Related: Ann Vandersteel, Michael Yon to join launch of "Operation Burning Edge" at southern border – Brighteon.TV.)

Vandersteel recounted her investigative journey along the border, where she and her team uncovered warehouses filled with trafficked children and documented the collaboration between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and organizations like Catholic Charities. "We watched our own CBP facilitate human trafficking," she lamented.

The docuseries also explores the role of international organizations, such as the United Nations' International Organization for Migration (IOM), in funding and enabling the crisis. According to Vandersteel, these groups are using American taxpayer dollars to undermine the nation's sovereignty.

She pointed out that the UN and the NGOs are raping and pillaging people and the American taxpayer to subvert the U.S. Constitution's Article Four, Section Four.

The collapse of the dollar empire and the people's awakening

Vandersteel and Adams also discussed the looming collapse of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. She described the current financial system as a "debt slave society" propped up by the Federal Reserve's unchecked money printing.
