A decline in morality has preceded the collapse of almost every great society throughout history.  Moral decay is often cited as one of the primary reasons for the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, the level of wickedness in ancient Greece reached a frightening crescendo before it finally fell, and the depravity of French aristocrats was so nauseating that ordinary citizens took them out into the streets and beheaded them during the French Revolution.  Unfortunately, we have not learned from the lessons of the past, and so we appear doomed to repeat them.

You may have noticed that our nation is crumbling.  In this case, I am not actually referring to the moral decay which is eating away at the foundations of our society like cancer.  In this article I am going to specifically focus on the physical infrastructure which is literally crumbling directly under our feet.  At one time, the infrastructure in the United States was unrivaled anywhere in the world.  Previous generations of Americans built this country from the ground up, and I am very thankful for the hard work that they put into constructing our infrastructure, but now it is rotting and decaying all around us.

Hordes of local pharmacies are shutting down in major cities all over the nation, and it isn’t because of the economy.  Sadly, because shoplifting has become so rampant in places such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, large chains are determining that it is no longer profitable to do business in many communities.  If I was in their shoes, I would be doing the same thing.  Thanks to politicians that are extremely soft on crime, professional looters are going hog wild, and in many cases security guards are instructed to simply stand aside and let them take whatever they want.

Will our own arrogance actually be our undoing?  When you peer up into the night sky and realize how small we truly are in comparison to the vastness of the universe, that should be a very humbling thing.  Unfortunately, humility is in very short supply in our day and time.  Sadly, this is particularly true in our scientific community.  Over the past two years, a pompous blowhard named Anthony Fauci has become the most famous scientist in the entire world, and even though he has been exposed as a total fraud he is more pompous than ever and he is still worshipped by millions.  Unfortunately, he is far from alone.  Because of what I do, I have to deal with pompous blowhards like Dr. Fauci all the time.  These “geniuses” think that they have everything figured out, but of course they don’t.  None of us do. We are literally surrounded by unanswerable questions and great mysteries that have gone unsolved for thousands of years. (Read More...)

In the old days, Americans would derisively speak of “third world countries” that were plagued by high crime rates, corrupt governments, severe economic problems and an overall lack of civilized behavior.  Unfortunately, the tables have turned, and now we are becoming a “third world country”.  The thin veneer of civilization that we all used to take for granted has been steadily disappearing, and our nation seems to become a little bit more degenerate with each passing day.  Of course this didn’t happen overnight.  It has taken decades of decline to get us to this point, and now our decline appears to be accelerating.

The information that I am about to share with you is extremely alarming, but I have always endeavored to never sugarcoat things for my readers.  Right now, there are shortages of certain items in grocery stores across the United States, and food supplies have gotten very tight all over the globe.  I have repeatedly warned that this is just the beginning, but I didn’t realize how dire things have already gotten until I received an email from a farming insider that I have corresponded with over the years.  I asked him if I could publicly share some of the information that he was sharing with me, and he said that would be okay as long as I kept his name out of it.

As we have seen all throughout human history, those that would like to impose tyranny upon a nation need at least a certain percentage of the population to go along with their plans.  It doesn’t even have to be a majority.  All that is required is enough “true believers” to enforce the tyrannical dictates of the elite.  Many had assumed that the United States would always be immune from such a scenario because our Constitution guarantees certain liberties and freedoms.  Unfortunately, things have dramatically changed in recent years.  Today, a surprisingly large percentage of the U.S. population is openly embracing authoritarianism, and that should deeply alarm all of us.

Are politicians in California actually trying to make the mass exodus out of their state even worse?  Even though Democrats currently have control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, it has become exceedingly clear that a national single payer healthcare system is not going to happen any time soon.  So apparently politicians in California have decided that they are going to try to implement one in just their state.  I realize that this sounds completely nuts, but it is actually true.  Earlier today, I was stunned when I came across the following tweet from California Legislator Kevin Kiley… (Read More...)
