If you haven’t been paying close attention to what is going on in the Middle East, you need to start doing so.  As I have discussed previously, I believe that a Great Middle East War will be one of the conflicts that defines World War III.  For months, the fighting has mostly been limited to Israel and Hamas, but events on the northern front are really starting to heat up.  In fact, as you will see below, the IDF just pummeled Damascus with more airstrikes and the Syrian government is saying that it is ready for war with Israel.  So could we soon see a scenario where Israel is fighting an all-out war with Hezbollah and the Syrian army simultaneously?

This week, the biggest news story in the entire world is Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin.  Honestly, it was kind of a bizarre interview, and  you can watch it for yourself below.  But I give Tucker Carlson a ton of credit for going to Russia and sitting down with Putin.  I think that the real reason he did this is because he wanted to see for himself if there is any hope of avoiding a cataclysmic conflict between our two nations.  Every day we get even closer to the unthinkable, and so it would make sense for both sides to pursue a peaceful way out of this mess.  But at this point the western elite are not interested in peace, and they don’t want any talk of peace in the media.  So they are going to great lengths to discredit Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin, because they don’t want their carefully crafted narratives to be disrupted.

The Russians have warned us over and over again that they will use nuclear weapons if they are forced into a direct war with western powers.  So why are most western leaders not taking those threats seriously?  Ukraine is not worth fighting a nuclear war over.  Both sides would be wise to try to find a peaceful resolution while it is still possible to do so.  But instead, we continue to see escalation after escalation.  In particular, the Biden administration seems determined to see how close it can go without pushing things completely over the edge.  This is very foolish, because the Russians are very serious about fighting a nuclear war if they are pushed too far.

Trillions of gallons of rain have already fallen on the state of California, and more rain continues to fall as I write this article.  Billions of dollars in damage has already been done, but of even greater concern is what all of this water could mean for southern California’s fault lines.  As you will see below, geophysicists have discovered that the additional weight that flooding puts on fault lines can help trigger earthquakes.  Of course we have been warned for many years that “the Big One” is way overdue in southern California, and when it finally happens it will be a disaster unlike anything we have ever seen before.

When I was young, I often wondered what it must have been like to live during the fall of the Roman Empire.  Unfortunately, now I have a pretty good idea.  Just like the Roman Empire, the United States is falling.  Every day our decline gets even more pronounced, and you can see evidence of this all around us.  Virtually all of our major institutions are crumbling, and virtually all of our most critical systems are failing.  We tend to blame our problems on our politicians, but the truth is that the rot that is rapidly spreading throughout our society runs a lot deeper than that.  Millions upon millions of us have completely rejected the values that this nation was founded upon, and so now we have a giant mess on our hands.  The following are 12 absolutely insane examples that show just how far the U.S. has fallen… (Read More...)

Okay, this is starting to get really weird.  First, we had a “thousand year storm” which caused catastrophic flooding in San Diego.  Subsequently, a “Pineapple Express” storm absolutely soaked the entire state on Wednesday and Thursday.  Now, a “bomb cyclone” is in the process of dumping 8 trillion gallons of rain on California over the course of approximately 48 hours.  We are being told that there will be “life threatening flooding” all over the state, and in the mountains there will be massive amounts of snow in some areas.  Do you remember when the state of California was hit by a series of devastating atmospheric rivers in December 2022 and January 2023?  Well, now it is happening again, and the storm that we are witnessing at this moment is being called a “monster”.  In fact, it is so large that 94 percent of the population of the state is at risk of experiencing life-threatening flooding… (Read More...)

I believe that major natural disasters will be one of the dominant themes of 2024.  Right now, a gigantic “Pineapple Express” storm is absolutely pummeling the state of California, and an even stronger “Pineapple Express” storm will hit the state right behind it.  But authorities in California will really get bent out of shape if we say that these storms could potentially be part of a catastrophic multi-week pattern that many have suggested may or may not be developing.  Meanwhile, the state of Hawaii is being rocked by hundreds and hundreds of earthquakes.  In fact, we are being told that there were more than 220 earthquakes in just one 24 hour period earlier this week… (Read More...)

In “The Wizard of Oz”, at one point Dorothy tells her dog that she has “a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore”.  She had been dropped in a strange new world that was crazier than anything she had ever imagined.  Needless to say, many of us feel the exact same way.  We’re not in the America that we grew up in anymore.  Instead, we now live in a country that appears to be a cross between a really bad science fiction movie and a freak show.  Sadly, the pace of change has now reached an exponential rate, and things will get even more insane during the years that are ahead of us.  The following are 8 signs that demonstrate how truly bizarre our society is becoming… (Read More...)
