Radio Ranch with Roger Sayles 042826 LIVE, - Ticks, Tech, and Truth: Prep, Privacy, and the Week’s Wild Headlines

On today’s show, we opened with housekeeping and the latest on where to listen live, then dove into a sprawling conversation about fast‑moving world events and personal preparedness. I shared reactions to the weekend’s headlines and, from there, we explored reports and claims listeners have been seeing online—from tick‑borne illnesses and meat allergies to “smart dust,” biometric banking, and what that might mean for privacy. We also discussed historical and current events in Argentina and Patagonia as listeners compared sources, challenged assertions, and traded first‑hand experiences. From practical to tactical, callers contributed prevention tips for ticks and chiggers, natural repellents they’ve used, and resources for self‑reliance, while others pointed to investigative journalists and platforms they follow. As always, the goal was the same: compare notes, vet links, and think critically so we can make informed choices for our families and communities, wherever we live.Euro·Folk·Radio: https://eurofolkradio.com/Radio Soapbox (live stream): https://stream.radiosoapbox.com/Global Voice Radio Network: https://www.globalvoiceradio.net/Global Voice Radio – Matrix page: https://globalvoiceradio.net/matrix/Rumble (Global Voice/pgbiener channel): https://rumble.com/user/pgbienerFreeConferenceCall – Online meetings: https://www.freeconferencecall.com/global/online-meetingsWhitney Webb – Unlimited Hangout: https://unlimitedhangout.com/The Corbett Report (James Corbett): https://www.corbettreport.com/The HighWire with Del Bigtree: https://thehighwire.com/Jimmy Dore (official site): https://jimmydore.com/Dane Wigington – Geoengineering Watch: https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/James Wesley, Rawles – SurvivalBlog: https://survivalblog.com/Mises Institute (Austrian economics): https://mises.org/CDC – Alpha‑gal syndrome (lone star tick/meat allergy): https://www.cdc.gov/alpha-gal-syndrome/CDC – Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: https://www.cdc.gov/rocky-mountain-spotted-fever/Cedarcide (plant‑based repellents): https://cedarcide.com/Wondercide (plant‑based repellents): https://www.wondercide.com/Youngevity – Pest‑B‑Gone (For Tails Only): https://youngevity.com/us_en/fto-pest-b-gone-for-dogs-16-oz-spray-qty-2.htmlChabad.org – The Rebbe: Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson: https://www.chabad.org/therebbeSelective Service System (official): https://www.sss.gov/U.S. Patent (Wells Fargo – “Smart Dust Usage”): https://patents.justia.com/patent/11354666
