Let’s be honest about what is really going on in Ukraine.  The United States is providing most of the funding, most of the equipment, most of the ammunition, most of the high level intelligence and much of the training.  That makes the United States a direct participant in the conflict.  Yes, many other NATO countries are also contributing in various ways, and that makes them direct participants as well.  But the mainstream media here in the western world continues to insist that this is Ukraine’s war and that we are just helping them out.  Without a doubt, Ukraine has lost an enormous number of soldiers over the course of 2022, but at this point the Ukrainians are really a junior partner in the war.  If the U.S. and NATO had not intervened on an epic scale, the war would already be over and Russia would have won.  Unfortunately, now that we are so deeply invested in the conflict there is no easy way out, and that has very serious implications for all of us.

Should we be concerned by all of the volcanic activity that we are witnessing all over the planet right now?  According to Volcano Discovery, 27 different volcanoes are erupting at this moment and many others are showing signs of waking up.  Of course this comes at a time when we are also seeing lots of unusual earthquakes around the globe.  I have been regularly warning my readers about the instability of our planet, and it appears that seismic activity is beginning to spike as we approach the end of 2022.  So will this trend continue once we get into 2023?

Have you noticed that there have been a lot of very unusual earthquakes around the globe this week?  Suddenly, large earthquakes have started to erupt in some of the most high risk areas of the planet.  Unfortunately, that includes the west coast of the United States.  For years, I have been warning my readers about what will happen when “the Big One” finally hits the west coast.  Could it be possible that the quakes that we are witnessing right now indicate that the fault zones along the west coast are starting to wake up again?  Let us hope not, because this would be a really, really bad time for a historic seismic event.

If you had to choose between living under an extremely oppressive world government or living through a nuclear war, which one would be your choice?  Personally, I don’t like either of those two options, but in recent days western leaders have been trying to convince us that we will either have one or the other.  According to them, either we can submit to a “global order” that is dominated by the values and the agenda of the western elite or we can accept a multipolar world which will eventually lead to widespread chaos and nuclear war.  Needless to say, western politicians are going to try very hard to get us to choose the former.

Are you ready for the government to monitor what you buy and sell on a daily basis?  Because that is what could happen if you start using the new “digital dollar” that they are now testing.  Of course using the new “digital dollar” would be voluntary at first, but what if it eventually becomes mandatory?  The use of physical currency continues to decline year after year, and some governments in Europe have already taken radical measures to phase out the use of cash.  Many among the elite consider digital currencies to be the key to a whole new era of  strict governmental control over the way that we live our lives, and there would be so much potential for abuse.

This week it is being reported that the human population of our planet has now reached 8 billion.  We should all remember this moment, because soon the population of the globe will start getting much smaller.  In “End Times”, I explain that we are moving into one of the most chaotic times in all of human history.  There will be wars and rumors of wars, economic collapse, worldwide famines, horrifying pestilences and great natural disasters.  Needless to say, in such a future the global population would fall very rapidly.  But for purposes of this article, let’s imagine that none of those things will happen for the foreseeable future.  For a moment, let’s imagine that conditions will be pretty much like they are today for decades to come.  Unfortunately, even in such a wildly unrealistic scenario the human population of our planet would still plummet dramatically in the years ahead.  In fact, if current trends continue there will be hardly anyone left by the end of this century no matter what happens.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has just announced that China will be “preparing for war”, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  Needless to say, nobody is going to be attacking China any time soon.  So why would the Chinese need to prepare for war if there is zero chance that they will be attacked?  Unfortunately, the answer is obvious.  The only reason China would be engaged in a military conflict any time soon is if it chooses to invade Taiwan.  The moment such an invasion is launched, the United States and China will be at war.  The Chinese know this, but Chinese President Xi Jinping is going ahead with preparations for war anyway… (Read More...)

Why is the number of preppers growing so rapidly?  Prior to the pandemic, somewhere around 2 or 3 percent of all Americans were preppers, but now that figure has shot up to about 10 percent.  Needless to say, the pandemic certainly put a good scare into a lot of people, but now it has largely passed and so you would think that interest in prepping would subside.  But instead, the prepping community just continues to grow.  On a very basic level, most of us understand that the party is ending and most of us can feel that something really big is coming.  In 2023 and beyond, there will be more war, more economic turmoil, more famines, more pestilences and more historic natural disasters.  In such an environment, it will pay to be prepared.
