The ultra-wealthy are some of the best preppers in the entire world.  I realize that statement may sound strange to many of you, but it is actually true.  The elite are very well aware that we are on the precipice of a full-blown societal meltdown, and many of them are spending enormous amounts of time, money and energy to prepare themselves for the extremely difficult times that are rapidly approaching.  In some cases, ultra-wealthy individuals are forking out giant mountains of cash for luxurious underground bunkers in the middle of nowhere.  In other cases, elitists are actually buying citizenship in far away foreign lands that they think will be safe.  We are talking about some of the smartest and wealthiest people in our entire society, and they are so freaked out about what is coming that they have become absolutely obsessed with trying to save themselves.

A number of people have asked me about the Shemitah year lately, and so in this article I will attempt to provide some answers.  According to Orthodox Judaism, the current 7 year Shemitah cycle will end and a new 7 year Shemitah cycle will begin when Rosh Hashanah arrives on the evening of September 25th.  But that assumes that they have been calculating the Shemitah cycles correctly.  There are some that believe that this is not actually a Shemitah year at all.  There are others that believe that a Shemitah year should begin on the first day of the Biblical year and not on Rosh Hashanah.  And then there is the debate between those that believe a full Jubilee cycle is 49 years long and those that believe a full Jubilee cycle is 50 years long.  As you can see, researching this topic can quickly become extremely complicated.  So let me start off by reviewing some of the basics.  This is what Wikipedia has to say about how the Shemitah year is observed in the land of Israel today… (Read More...)

Have you noticed that more people than ever in our society seem to be going completely crazy?  And when I say crazy, I don’t mean it in a fun, non-threatening way.  All over the country, we are literally seeing people “go psycho” and commit some of the most heinous acts of violence imaginable.  It is almost as if we have all been transported into a game of “Grand Theft Auto” where people feel free to indulge their basest instincts.  In recent months I have repeatedly written about the fact that crime rates have been soaring, but it isn’t just the number of crimes that is alarming.  We are starting to see things happen in our streets that are so bizarre that it is difficult to believe that they are actually real.  In fact, many of them seem like they have been pulled right out of an extremely violent Hollywood movie.

America’s public schools have never been worse than they are right now.  Test scores are falling, and many of our kids cannot read, write, speak or do basic math effectively.  As a result, each level of education has had to be “dumbed down”, because each year the next incoming class has been woefully unprepared at the previous level.  This is one of the big reasons why many tests these days require only answers that are true/false or multiple choice.  Our kids are simply not equipped to handle much more than that.  Sadly, this is true even at the college level.  I spent eight years earning three degrees at a couple of the best public institutions in America, and the level of education that I received was exceedingly poor.  Even at that time, the family pet could have passed most of the “college courses” that I was forced to endure.  Of course things have only gotten far worse since then.

I don’t know how I could say it any more clearly.  At this moment, the vast majority of the population is completely and utterly unprepared for what is ahead of us.  Every day, there are more signs in the news that global events are starting to spiral out of control, but instead of using this summer to get prepared much of the population is partying instead.  This greatly frustrates me, because I have been working extremely hard to try to sound the alarm.  People should be using the window of opportunity that we have this summer to take action, because the months ahead of us will be filled with famine, war, pestilence, natural disasters and severe economic troubles.  Summer officially ends in late September, and I believe that global events will accelerate greatly throughout the remainder of 2022 and into the early stages of 2023.

You have probably noticed that food prices just keep going up at the grocery store.  Many people believe that this is just a temporary phenomenon, and those people would be wrong.  In fact, things are really going to start going haywire when a lot of the food that is supposed to be on our store shelves in 2023 doesn’t show up.  Of course the reason that food isn’t going to be there is because it isn’t being grown in 2022.  This summer, food production in the United States is constantly being slammed by one disaster after another.  Sadly, most Americans still don’t understand that this is going to deeply affect all of us in the months ahead.

We have never seen anything like this before.  There are some parts of the globe that are being absolutely devastated by endless drought, and there are other parts of the globe that are being absolutely devastated by relentless flooding.  So if you happen to live some place where weather patterns are still behaving normally, you should consider yourself to be incredibly blessed.  In all my years, I have never seen extreme conditions in so many areas of the world simultaneously.  This is a major red flag, but unfortunately the vast majority of the general population is still not paying attention.

It isn’t just humans that are being hit extremely hard by deadly pestilences.  In recent weeks, I have written numerous articles about the strange diseases that have been causing severe illness and death among human populations in various parts of the globe.  But there are other plagues that have suddenly erupted that aren’t affecting us at all.  Instead, they are devastating animal populations, and so they get less media coverage.  But the truth is that some of these diseases are extremely serious.  For example, tens of millions of our chickens and turkeys are already dead due to an unprecedented bird flu pandemic.  That deeply impacts each one of us, because now chicken and turkey are much more expensive at the grocery store.  And one or more of the diseases that I am going to talk about in this article could make the jump to humans, and if that happens we could potentially be facing a big time nightmare.
