This astonishing interview is considered by many to be Mike Adams' best interview of 2012. John B Wells and Adams pursue a deep dialog covering a whirlwind of topics, including the philosophy behind tyranny, the coming economic collapse, techniques and tactics for personal preparedness, the global depopulation agenda, fluoride poisoning, GMOs, Big Pharma crimes, vaccination dangers and a lot more. This interview has been widely shared across the 'net and is considered by many to be one of the most thought-provoking and deeply-informative discussions of alternative information aired anywhere. Adams rarely joins late-night talk radio, appearing on Coast to Coast roughly once a year. More frequently, he is a fill-in host for the Alex Jones Show.
