Freak Weather Events And Drought Are Devastating Agricultural Production All Over The Globe

Did you know that Brazil just had snow for the first time in 64 years?  Millions of Brazilians were absolutely thrilled to experience real snow for the very first time in their lives, but the freakishly low temperatures have hit agricultural production really hard at a very sensitive moment.  Brazil is one of the largest exporters of corn in the entire world, and at this point corn production is expected to be way below original projections.  But for many Americans, the fate of the Arabica bean crop is of far more interest.  Higher coffee prices would affect millions upon millions of Americans on a daily basis, and that is why so many people are freaking out about the fact that coffee prices are really starting to spike… (Read More...)

Have The Social Media Companies Become Way Too Powerful?

Do you remember the early days of the Internet?  It was like “the wild west”, and that could be bad, but in many ways it was also very good.  The Internet was very decentralized at that time, and information could flow very freely.  For the very first time, ordinary people could communicate with others all over the globe on a massive scale, and I believe that was an incredibly positive development for humanity.  Unfortunately, the elite were absolutely horrified by this free flow of information and they became obsessed with restricting it.  Today, highly advanced algorithms have been designed to shape our behavior online.  We are increasingly being funneled to just a handful of immensely powerful corporate-owned websites, and information on those sites is heavily monitored, controlled and censored.

Health Freedom Is The Hottest Political Issue On The Entire Globe, And Our World Will Never Be The Same After This

We are witnessing an epic global struggle for freedom, and the outcome of that struggle is going to greatly shape what our world is going to look like in the years ahead.  Ultimately, one of the most fundamental rights that we have is the right to make our own health decisions.  If someone else has the authority to make those decisions for you, then you aren’t really free.  This pandemic has transformed the debate over health freedom into the most hotly contested political issue on the entire planet, and the intensity seems to have been turned up a few more notches in recent days.  As governments around the world have begun instituting new lockdowns, new mandates and new “health passports”, we have seen huge eruptions of anger all over the world.

Global Weather Patterns Are Going Completely Nuts

Our planet is going through extreme changes that are unlike anything we have ever seen before, and global weather patterns are going completely insane as a result.  Last winter, record cold temperatures were being shattered all over the globe and we were witnessing snowfall totals that were absolutely crazy in many areas.  Now summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere, and extreme weather events are making headlines every single day.  This month alone, we have witnessed apocalyptic flooding in western Europe and China, a massive fire in Oregon has burned an area larger than the entire city of Los Angeles, and Brazil has announced to the world that it will have crop losses that are “historic” in nature.  All throughout history there have been natural disasters, but these days we are faced with an endless series of droughts, floods, heat waves, mudslides, wildfires and crop failures.  If you think that there is an “easy solution” to this crisis, you are just being delusional.  Weather patterns are permanently shifting, and nothing will ever be the same again.

A “Mega-Comet” That Is At Least 62 Miles Wide Has Entered Our Solar System

Did you know that an absolutely gigantic comet that is at least 62 miles wide is cruising through our solar system right now?  Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is already closer to the sun than Neptune, but scientists are assuring us that it is absolutely no threat to our planet.  If that is true, that is great news, because it appears that this is the biggest comet ever discovered.  It is being projected that it will make its closest approach to the sun in January 2031, and after that it is expected to head on a path that will eventually take it out of our solar system.  Let us hope that all of this information is accurate, but could there be a possibility that the scientists that have studied this giant space rock are wrong?

4 “Pestilences” That Everyone Should Be Keeping An Eye On Right Now

The plot thickens with each passing day, and I have a feeling that things are going to get very “interesting” in the months ahead.  Despite all of our advanced technology, humanity remains highly vulnerable to outbreaks of disease, and I have often said that I believe that we are entering a time when there will be great “pestilences”.  As you read this article, scientists all over the globe are playing around with extremely dangerous diseases.  Sometimes such research is being conducted for noble purposes, but in other instances it is not.  And as we have seen in the past, it is way, way too easy for a mistake to happen.  It is inevitable that more highly virulent bugs will be released accidentally (or on purpose) in the future, and we need to understand that this is going to be the “new normal” in a world that is increasingly going mad.

Most Americans Don’t Realize That Each New Day Brings Us A Little Bit Closer To War

While most Americans remain in a deep state of slumber, global events are moving us a little bit closer to military conflict with each passing day.  U.S. relations with China are rapidly going down the tubes, and this is something that should greatly concern all of us, because it has very serious implications for our future.  Personally, this is an issue that I have been focusing on for a very long time.  Many years ago when I worked as an attorney, I would often have conversations about the state of the world with those that I worked with, and when China would come up I would warn that someday the U.S. and China would be bitter adversaries.  At the time, what I was saying didn’t seem to make sense to a lot of people, but I understood where global trends were taking us.  Like most of the things that I write about, I knew that it wouldn’t happen right away, but now we have reached a point where U.S. relations with China are the worst that they have been since the Korean War.

There Is Now A Confirmed Case Of Monkeypox In Texas – Will This Become Another Pandemic?

Monkeypox is a very dangerous disease that causes horrifyingly ugly sores on the skin, and scientists are telling us that it can be spread by human to human contact.  So the fact that there is now a confirmed case of monkeypox in Dallas, Texas should be a concern for all of us.  Could it be possible that this is the start of a new pandemic?  For now, officials are insisting that the risk of a full-blown pandemic is very low, but we will monitor this situation.  Those that follow my work on a regular basis know that I am constantly watching for the next potential major outbreak, and I am very much hoping that this is not it.  The good news is that we only have one confirmed U.S. case so far.  According to the CDC, the infected individual flew from Nigeria to Atlanta on July 8th, and then he flew from Atlanta to Dallas on July 9th.  The following comes directly from the official CDC website… (Read More...)
