If people that lived 50 or 60 years ago could see us today, what would they think of our culture?  I believe that the performance of “Unholy” at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night will go down in history as a pivotal cultural moment.  Yes, the “horror movie-inspired performance” that Sam Smith and Kim Petras came up with was designed to get as much attention as possible.  They wanted people like me to write about it, and that is exactly what I am doing.  But just because they were seeking attention does not change the fact that their performance was unspeakably evil.  And it also does not change the fact that millions of their fans absolutely adored it.  We have gotten to a point where our culture openly celebrates wickedness, and that is a very dangerous place to be.

It took a balloon for millions of Americans to finally realize that we really are on the brink of war with China.  When a four-star general recently warned that we would be fighting a war with China in 2025, that didn’t create too much of a stir.  And when U.S. Representative Michael McCaul stated that odds of a war between the United States and China over Taiwan are “very high”, that barely made a blip in the news cycle.  But the giant “spy balloon” that just floated across our country really got people fired up.  Despite the fact that China has been relentlessly spying on us in countless other ways for years, many of our leaders are suddenly acting as if some huge change just happened.  They are issuing all sorts of very angry statements and they are demanding action from the Biden administration.  Meanwhile, the Chinese are pissed that we just shot down their “civilian airship” and they are warning that they have “the right to respond further”.

We are getting dangerously close to a point of no return.  For months, both sides have been continuously escalating the war in Ukraine, and now it appears that we are on the verge of the biggest escalation of them all.  As I have been repeatedly warning my readers for weeks, the Russians have been gathering hundreds of thousands of fresh troops for a massive winter offensive.  The exhausted Ukrainian forces are already stretched incredibly thin, and the losses that they have been suffering over the past couple of months have been nothing short of catastrophic.  If the Russians decide to bring the hammer down, the Ukrainians will be in very serious trouble.

As our society continues to deteriorate all around us, rising crime has become one of the primary reasons why so many Americans are choosing to relocate to a different part of the country.  According to the National Association of Realtors, there was a tremendous amount of domestic migration in 2022.  Some people are choosing to relocate for better employment opportunities, some are choosing to relocate to states with lower tax rates, and some are choosing to relocate for health reasons.  But to me, one of the most striking trends is the fact that red states with low crime rates are seeing tremendous population growth, while blue states with high crime rates are losing residents at a staggering pace.

Every day we continue to get even more evidence that our society is going completely and utterly insane.  I really wish that this wasn’t true.  I really wish that we could just hit the rewind button and go back several decades to a time when most people tried to behave normally and there wasn’t rampant corruption all around us.  Unfortunately, our social decay has shifted into “turbo mode” over the past several years, and at this point a lot of Americans actually celebrate the evil that is gnawing away at the foundations of our society like cancer.  Some of the videos that I am about to share with you are really creepy, some of them are quite funny, and some of them are incredibly alarming.  But ultimately they all have something to say about where we currently are as a society.  The following are 14 videos that will make you want to scream out “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”… (Read More...)

You are not supposed to be an independent thinker, and you are definitely not supposed to come to your own conclusions.  When the corporate media decides that some really weird event that has just happened is “just a coincidence”, you are supposed to go along with it without asking any questions.  In fact, if you do decide to challenge the dominant narrative on a particular issue, there is a very good chance that you will be labeled a “conspiracy theorist”.  And you certainly wouldn’t want that, would you?

In secret facilities all over the planet, scientists are pushing the envelope far beyond what most of us thought was possible.  They are developing technologies that are decades ahead of what the general public has access to right now, and in many cases little regard is being given to any moral or ethical lines that are being crossed.  Unfortunately, many of these new technologies are being designed to be used on us.  The “Big Brother control grid” that we see all around us is going to continue to evolve, and each new “improvement” will give the elite even more control.  Ultimately, the goal is to get everyone to be completely and utterly dependent on the system that they have created, and anyone that chooses not to be a good servant of that system will be dealt with ruthlessly.

In a game of “nuclear chicken”, one of the potential outcomes is that everybody loses.  We have reached a point where nuclear annihilation is just one mistake away, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  But as I discussed in a previous article, most people don’t seem to care.  Instead, most people just seem to assume that our leaders have everything under control and that they know exactly what they are doing.  Unfortunately, the truth is that they are completely nuts.  They just decided to escalate the war in Ukraine again, and they are dragging us to the brink of nuclear conflict.  Of course once a nuclear war starts, the option of choosing new leaders will be gone.
