US war against Russia has been escalating incrementally for years.
The decision by US/NATO regimes to supply Ukrainian Nazis with tanks greatly increased the likelihood of global war by the empire of lies and its NATO vassals against nonthreatening Russia.
On Friday, Pentagon spokeswoman, Sabrina Singh, said US-dominated NATO regimes do not intend to exclude any weapon systems from supplies to Ukraine.
“We’re not going to take anything off the table,” she said — while maintaining the fiction that US/NATO “support for Ukrain(ian) (Nazis isn’t an) escalation at all (sic).”
Sergey Lavrov explained that the empire of lies and its NATO vassals crossed the line from hybrid to direct war on Russia.
Separately, he stressed that US-dominated NATO is using Nazi-infested Ukraine as an “instrument” in pursuit of “domination in all regions.”
And this reality check by Russia’s Deputy UN envoy, Dmitry Polyansky, saying:
US/NATO is “wag(ing) war against our country.”
“Reflections about red lines are now in the past.”
“The (empire of lies and forever wars on invented enemies) unequivocally declared its intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.”
“It is impossible not to notice this reality.”
On Thursday, Russia’s deputy OSCE representative, Maxim Buyakevich, said the following:
Hegemon USA and its “NATO client (regimes) deliberate(ly) escalate(d) military confrontation in Ukraine.”
They “provok(ed) the regime into military action against the Russian population using Western heavy weapons and NATO intelligence.”
What’s been going on since 2014 “is a direct path to a full-blown military conflict in Europe” — what the US/West cannot win, but “definitely stands to lose.”
While US/NATO tanks won’t arrive in Ukraine for weeks or longer, “the decision marked a sharp reversal for the” empire of lies and its war-making alliance vassals.
“Their masks have long been thrown off.”
“They are no longer embarrassed to say directly that this is not at all about the struggle for some kind of Ukrainian statehood, but about the promotion of the ‘rules-based world order’ being formed by the (US-dominated) West.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry vowed to destroy all US/NATO weapons sent to Ukrainian Nazis.
Moscow’s envoy to Germany, Sergei Nechayev, warned that the hostile move to supply tanks “takes conflict to a new level of confrontation.”
It escalates things toward global war, what most likely already began and with it the heightened risk of the world’s dominant nuclear powers doing whatever it takes to win.
Ukrainian Nazis are pushing US/NATO regimes to supply them with warplanes and Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACAMS), what are able to target Russian sites deep into its territory.
They expect to get whatever weapons they ask US/NATO regimes to supply.
On Thursday, Politico reported the following:
“Discussions are underway (between Ukrainian Nazis and US/Western military officials) about supplying” the regime with warplanes.
Russia controls Ukrainian airspace.
If hostile aircraft enter it, Russia will target and destroy them.
That may not be reality enough to deter US/NATO regimes from sending and most likely operating them with their own pilots because Ukrainians aren’t trained to do it on their own.
The empire of lies and its NATO vassals have been escalating things toward WW III by supplying Ukrainian Nazis with most all weapons requested.
The decision to supply tanks was the latest shoe to drop.
Will warplanes follow?
Is WW III inevitable?
Did it already begin?
Will it go nuclear?
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
WW III with nukes would be the ultimate example of madness in high places.
Yet that’s where things are heading.
And the madness of going this far most likely already began, a rubicon of no return crossed.
A Final Comment
Virtually defeated by superior Russian tactics and firepower, Ukrainian Nazis are desperate.
According to Southfront, “the situation (in Kiev) moved to a new level of irrationality.”
Teenaged-adolescents, middle-aged men and others “of all ages are being kidnapped from streets of Ukrainian cities and villages” for frontline cannon fodder duty.
Any and all warm bodies are at risk of forced conscription — at a time when the US-installed regime and its military are close to collapse.
At the same time, US/NATO military personnel are orchestrating, directing and operating sophisticated weapons sent to the regime because Ukrainians aren’t trained to do it on their own.
US/NATO tanks and forcibly recruited conscripts are to be part of a planned spring offensive by Ukrainian Nazis — what Russia will smash like all other attempted ones.
The chance of their ability to breach sophisticated Russian defenses is virtually zero.
Tens of thousands more Ukrainian troops will die or be maimed in vain.
Southfront stressed it, saying:
“(T)ens of thousands of Ukrainian men are doomed to die in the coming months in the interests of global capital.”
“And then…the exchange of nuclear strikes is likely to follow…”
“World War Three has begun. It is already an obvious fact.”

As America heads towards an economic collapse due to its crazy national debt and runaway spending, we can learn some great lessons about how to prepare for the SHTF (Sewage Hits The Fan) that is to come by looking at what happened to Argentina
In 2001, Argentina plunged from being a very wealthy country with a large middle class to a country where the middle class all but disappeared. It was all due to uncontrolled government spending. Since the situation is so similar to what we have here in the United States today, the lessons learned are especially pertinent.
The first lesson to be learned from the economic collapse in Argentina is that desperate people will do desperate things. People took to the streets protesting what they saw as the robbery of the middle class by the banks and the betrayal of the politicians. Civil unrest became a common occurrence, as people who saw their bank accounts and retirement plans evaporate suddenly had nothing left to lose.
In addition, as the situation dragged on, more and more crime became commonplace. It wasn’t just robberies in bad neighborhoods, but more sophisticated burglaries in previously safe neighborhoods as well. People learned that their homes were being staked out and, when all the members of the family left and the house was vacant for a few hours, they could come home to a house that had been stripped.
In addition, a new term “express kidnappings” was coined. Instead of just kidnapping rich people where a huge ransom could be demanded, thugs started kidnapping people of more modest means and demanding only a couple hundred dollars. They would drive the around in a cab all day until a phone call to their home produced some sort of a payoff, and then they would move on to the next victim.
Express kidnappings were very smart financially for the bad guys, as the amount of money taken would not warrant a huge investigation from the overburdened police force. And if they knew what they were doing, they could pull off a couple of these every day.
Another thing that became commonplace was that former middle class people became unlicensed “taxi drivers” using their minivans or luxury cars to drive people to work or the airport. Others tried their luck to get work as a handyman. Women did nails and cleaned houses. People worked for a fraction of what they used to make, just so that they could feed their family.
Those looking for economic opportunity in a post-economic collapse society found that the teaching (especially vocational studies where you would teach a trade) and counseling professions did well, as people needed to get new skills to work and needed counseling to cope with a world turned upside down.
Another unfortunate development was food shortages and power outages. Although there was technically enough food for everyone, in the tumultuous times where prices could jump 10% in a week for some items, no grocery stores wanted to sell out of their products. Therefore, it became common for store shelves to be empty, as a lot of stock was held in reserve.
Power outages occurred as the utilities and local governments were strained financially with so many people unable to pay their bills and taxes. So infrastructure repairs and maintenance were neglected, leading to less reliable services.
There is a lot to consider if you want to prepare for an economic collapse in the United States. The best way to begin your “preps” (that is a term that preppers use) is by first analyzing what has happened before so when history repeats itself, you will be ready instead of having regrets.
Like other MSM, the NYT provides press agent services for the empire of lies, its Western vassals and Ukrainian Nazis.
Hegemon USA controls the territory of Ukraine, its puppet regime and buffoon head of the snake Zelensky — a powerless figure kept around as long as he remembers who’s boss.
There’s no ambiguity about the outcome of Russia’s SMO.
On Wednesday, Vladimir Putin stressed what’s indisputable, saying:
“In terms of achieving the end result and the victory that is inevitable, there are several things.”
“It is the unity and cohesion of the Russian and multinational Russian people, the courage and heroism of our fighters…and of course the work of the military-industrial complex and factories…”
“Victory is assured. I have no doubt about it.”
Putin also stressed the following:
Russia produces three times more air defense missiles per year than hegemon USA.
The country’s defense industry creates about the same number of missiles for various purposes as all other nations combined.
“Our production is comparable to world production,” Putin stressed.
Notably, superior Russian weapons and munitions are produced at a small fraction of longstanding US waste, fraud and abuse to enrich its merchants of death and human misery.
The notion of Russia exhausting its supply of missiles or other weapons is US/Western propaganda rubbish.
Separately, Russia’s US envoy, Anatoly Antonov, stressed the following:
“It is said that American Himars as well as Bradley Fighting Vehicles could be used to launch an offensive in the Crimean direction.”
“Commentators naively believe that Russia will not respond to attacks on its territory.”
“It should be clear for everyone.”
“We will destroy any weapons supplied to the Zelensky regime by either the US or NATO.”
Repeating what Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov stressed, Antonov said it’s “impossible (for the US/West) to defeat the Russian Federation.”
Despite the inability of US/Western regimes to prevent certain defeat of Ukraine’s military near collapse, the NYT reported the following:
Based on what the broadsheet was told by Biden regime officials, it’s aiding Kiev plan an attack on the Russian Republic of Crimea — a futile exercise if attempted, what Russian forces are certain to crush, hastening the collapse of its military and demise of the US-installed puppet regime.
Crimea is sovereign Russian territory, not part of Ukraine.
According to former Ukrainian assault commander, Mikhail Zabrodsky, the puppet regime planned to attack Crimea in 2023, earlier saying:
“We will surprise people” by use of ground forces, sea landings and air attacks by drones.
If attempted, the regime and its US/Western paymasters will be surprised by Russia’s preparedness to respond effectively.
A key reason why Russia launched its SMO last February was because over 100,000 US-controlled Ukrainian troops were mobilized in preparation to invade Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as the Russian Republic of Crimea.
Russia acted in self-defense, its UN Charter right, to prevent what could have been disastrous if it failed to launch its SMO.
Vladimir Putin stressed that reality on the ground left him no other choice than to act.
And it’s clear that puppet Zelensky and the regime he nominally heads rejects conflict resolution because hegemon USA wants perpetual war on Russia no matter the human toll.
The only option for Russia is smashing the made-in-the-USA Ukrainian monster.
Its military superiority can achieve its aims no matter what weapons are supplied by the US/West to Ukrainian Nazis.
Russia continues to destroy them.
And whenever the regime attempts a counteroffensive, Russian forces smash it.
No regime “breakthrough” occurred at any time since Russia’s liberating SMO began, as fake news by the Times and other MSM falsely claimed.
Attacking Crimea would be suicidal.
And this perversion of reality by interventionist Blinken, falsely claiming:
The Biden regime is focusing on giving Ukrainian Nazis what they need to launch futile attempts “to take back (liberated) territory.”
And this madness from retired US General Philip Breedlove, a lunatic like Stanley Kubrick’s fictional general Jack D. Ripper from his dark satire, titled “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.”
Saying the Biden regime “put limits on Ukraine to (fight) on (its) soil and not on Russian soil…makes no military success (sic),” Breedlove ignored what’s obvious.
Like others in the US/West and their MSM press agents, he ignored almost 9 years of Ukraine’s aggression on Donbass, along with near-daily strikes on its territory and elsewhere in Russia currently.
And this reality:
Attempting to resolve things diplomatically would be a colossal mistake and waste of time.
Separately according to the Biden regime’s national security council spokeswoman, Adrienne Watson:
Ignoring reality according to the UN Charter and other international law, she falsely called Crimea Ukrainian territory (sic), adding:
Nazi-infested Ukraine “has the right to defend themselves (sic) and their sovereign territory (sic) in their internationally recognized borders (sic).”
No such recognition exists outside the West.
And this Times bald-faced Big Lie, falsely claiming that Russia “illegally annexed” Crimea in 2014 (sic).
Nothing of the sort occurred as earlier articles explained.
And this from the Times:
Dominant Biden regime hardliners, in cahoots with Ukrainian Nazis, “are discussing use of (US)-supplied weapons…to possibly target” the Crimean Bridge again.
In response to providing Ukrainian Nazis with weapons by US/Western regimes for strikes on Russia’s territory, Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the following:
Going this far “is potentially extremely dangerous,” adding:
The regime already has US/Western-supplied weapons to attack Russian territory.
If escalated,”this will mean taking the conflict to a whole new level which certainly will not bode well (for) European security.”
Russia can and will slay the made-in-the-USA Ukraine monster.
If more of its territory is threatened than already, it’ll most likely happen sooner to protect Russian citizens from the scourge of state-terror by Ukrainian Nazis.
2022 went out with a bang. Russia tried to send sixty-two bangs to Ukraine last night. Only six went off. I attribute that to Putin buying his fireworks from North Korea so there’s that. Some things never change.
Like it or lump it COVID is over. We’re back to plain ol’ flu. But, look at all we learned in the last three years. We learned how to wash our hands, stay at home, and left to their own devices Mexicans will jump walls, fences, and swim rivers.
And racism is everywhere! Did y’all ever notice Dora the Explorer is a little Mexican kid who seems to always be trying to get across some river? Hey! Apologies to to woke crowd. I’m from Texas!
And the Woke people. Are they implying they been asleep all their lives. I took a woke chick in SoCal out once. Convinced her that the vermouth in a martini neutralized the alcohol. I just love California girls, don’t you?
We can all hope that ’23 will be better than ’22. Hey, just look at it. In ’19 we had a New York Real Estate Broker running the country under the guidance of a mad scientist. We traded that for Mr. Rodgers’s Neighborhood. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for one thing we can now marry a llama. So that’s special. Oh for the days when we were male, female and switch hit. But, you know, you grow.
Of course we had to bid a tearful farewell to a lot of old friends who, to be honest, had been around a tad too long. There’s an adage “I’ve never killed a man, but I’ve read many obituaries with a great deal of satisfaction!” Some we will miss. Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard. Ever notice how you miss singers the most? Politicians not so much.
Each generation has to reinvent the wheel. Like discovering Ritz Crackers when you’re five years old and by the time your fifty plain old crackers will do. I had to reinvent family after finding out just because they’re family don’t mean they’re friends. You’d think I would have figured that out after six ex-wives.
There are some who have passed on that I miss. Frank. This guy was from Alaska. You know all that stuff they tell you on YouTube about how you should set up your camp to protect from bears. Well, for one thing, if you’re from The Bronx why are you camping anyway? Go to Jersey and try a different deli! But Frank! This guy was so bad when he set up camp all the bears moved out of the neighborhood. He might be looking for something to eat. They told me he died, but I don’t believe it. He’s in Vegas helping Elvis stage a comeback.
He didn’t rub off on my son, Bill or his wife, but they’re from California so you can clearly see there may be problems there. My daughter in law wants to put me in an old folk’s home and Bill prays I go to hell every day, but they never come around so I don’t worry about them. We all have one in the family, I have two. I’m so blessed.
To date I have not taken any of the 7/11 vaccines being offered. I don’t buy into the many conspiracy theories being offered, my logic is simple. I call it The Dog Test. If my dog gets a rabies shot and then gets rabies I conclude that the shot failed. After decades of flu shots we still have the flu every year, and I’ve yet to see a vaccine for the clap and bad girls are an ever growing plague. Then they tell me that if I take a shot that’s been cleared by five sick rats from Albuquerque I’ll have a sixty-five percent chance of dodging COVID, and if it gets me I MAY live. And I’m the conspiracy nut? And they want me to wear a mask that’s as effective as a screen door in a submarine. I’ll just stay home with some chick that’s had a recent STD test and act like I’m not having a good time!
For every low there is a high. The universe is designed on opposites. Almost as if there was a greater intelligence than us out there somewhere. From 2019 to present we have descended into a deeper and deeper pit. History and common sense tell us things have got to get better. Because it can’t get no worse. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster bless you all in the upcoming year. May you get your heart’s desire, and if you don’t just tell everyone you did and watch your family try to move in with you. Until next time God Bless Elon Musk!
When you need immediate assistance, overt actions reign supreme. Screaming, waving your arms for attention can be the difference between life and death. Most of the other moments require a little more subtlety. This is where the gray man survival theory comes in.
A lot of attention in the community of preppers and survivalists is spent on self-defense and crime and home defense, since we know from other countries that have experienced economic collapse that crime skyrockets.
A term that you will hear that describes the favorite strategy of the more experienced preppers and survivalists is “Gray Man.” This describes the technique of blending in to your background and being very unnoticeable.
While the younger, more inexperienced preppers and survivalists may brag about their guns, knives and self-defense strategies, it is far wiser to avoid a conflict than to have to be in a position to figure out how to come out on top.
The Gray Man never talks about his preps with people who are outside his immediate circle of trusted family and friends. He doesn’t want to draw any attention to himself. While he may plan to be very generous and share supplies with others when the “Sewage Hits The Fan” (SHTF), he will ensure that it is on his terms. The last thing he wants is a bunch of people coming to him begging, or worse yet, demanding help.
The Gray Man plan isn’t just employed from a “strategic” standpoint, but also a tactical standpoint. In everyday encounters after a crisis hits, the Gray Man plans to be very inconspicuous. He never wears the coolest, high-priced tactical gear, as that just attracts attention from the bad guys who are sure to notice and decide that he is a good target for expensive stuff to rob.
In his daily life, the Gray Man wants to wear nothing, say nothing and do nothing that would cause anyone to remember him. This is actually a strategy employed by many salesmen who do in-home sales calls. They would never wear a button for a political candidate, as that might turn off people from the opposing party and he risks losing a sale. Nothing he wears or does or talks about should draw attention to anything but his product / service and further the sales process.
When the salesman leaves the house, the majority of the people he has visited shouldn’t even remember what he was wearing. If they remember that he was wearing $500 alligator shoes, that was a distraction.
So it isn’t only that you don’t want to wear expensive or tactical clothes in an SHTF scenario where you are trying to employ the Gray Man persona. You don’t even want to wear a jersey from a particular football team or anything but bland, unremarkable clothing.
By not sticking out, whether in their lifestyle every day or in how they may make a trip outside their home in a tough situation, the preppers and survivalists who employ Gray Man are the least likely to have to worry about getting into a sticky situation.
The prophet Isaiah warns us that in the last days God is going to “turn the world upside down.” He declares, “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down” (Isaiah 24:1).
According to this prophecy, sudden judgment is coming upon the earth, and it will change everything in a single hour. Within that short span, the whole world will witness fast-falling destruction upon a city and a nation, and the world will never be the same.
If you are attached to material things — if you love this world and the things of it — you won’t want to hear what Isaiah has prophesied. In fact, even to the most righteous of God’s people, what Isaiah says might seem unthinkable. Many would surely ask, “How can an entire world be stricken in one hour?”
If we didn’t believe the Bible is God’s pure Word, few of us would take Isaiah’s prophecy seriously. But Scripture makes it clear: in a single hour, the world is going to change. The church is going to change. And every individual on earth is going to change.
The apostle John gives a similar warning in Revelation. He speaks of destructive judgment coming upon a city and nation: “In one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her…. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought” (Revelation 18:8, 17).
In Isaiah’s prophecy, the city under judgment is cast into confusion. Every house is shut up, with no one coming or going. “The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in” (Isaiah 24:10). The entire city is left desolate: “In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction” (24:12). All entrances and exits to the city are gone. The passage indicates that a fire has come, a blast that has shaken the very foundations of the earth (see 24:6).
We who live in New York City know something about this kind of scene. When the Twin Towers were attacked, the ominous fires and smoke could be seen ascending to heaven for miles. Recently, New Yorkers panicked as a mass of steam erupted from below a city street. People ran in all directions screaming, “Is this it? Is this the end-all attack?”
Today, multitudes of secular prophets are saying a nuclear attack is inevitable. The target they mention most often is New York, but it could happen in any major city: London, Paris, Tel Aviv, Washington. Neither Isaiah nor John names the city upon which destructive judgment falls.I don’t intend this message to frighten anyone.
Let me make clear at this point: I don’t intend this message to frighten anyone. Paul tells us that as disciples of Jesus Christ, we have already passed from death into life. We who call on Jesus as Lord should be confident that no matter what happens in this world, his shed blood saves and redeems us.
Therefore, we are not to fear any newscast, but rather to be attentive to what the Lord is doing in the world. Like many people, I hear grievous reports that make me want to tune everything out. But the truth is, God moves in the midst of such times, and through them he speaks warnings to all who would hear his voice.Isaiah’s prophecy points clearly to our generation.
IMPORTANT BELOW!
Watch this video below to find out the great secrets hidden by the government.
I believe, along with many eminent Bible scholars, that Isaiah’s prophecy points to the last days. By that, I mean our present time. In short, sudden judgment is coming, and Scripture strongly indicates it is now at the door.
At this point you may be wondering: “How can we be sure we’re the generation this prophecy points to?” We can know by two reasons that such judgments are imminent:
1.A growing number of prophets warn of an apocalyptic disaster at the door. When I use the word “prophets,” I speak not just of those in the church. I’m talking also about “secular prophets.”
There are several precedents for secular prophets in Scripture. God used Assyria as his rod of correction with Israel. And he appointed King Cyrus as his servant to assist Israel: “(The Lord) saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure” (Isaiah 44:28).
Likewise today, God uses secular prophets to send warnings. These become “his prophets” for a season. And their prophecies can be harder than those delivered by believers. The message I’m writing here is mild compared to the prophecies being delivered by all manner of secular voices. Just check your newspaper or radio reports.
“Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).
2.Sudden destruction comes when the cup of violence overflows. Sensuality, perversion and greed are running rampant throughout our society. Yet, when God sent the Flood upon the earth, it was because of a worldwide eruption of violence: “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” (Genesis 6:11).
Right now, there are numerous wars and bloody uprisings taking place around the globe. Yet foremost in my mind is the violence being waged against children worldwide:
I think of the sexual violence of pedophiles. Children all over the world are being raped, kidnapped and forced into enslavement in the global sex trade. Recently, a pedophile in the U.S. was discovered running a web site that advises other pedophiles on the easiest places to pick up children. There is no law in place to stop this man. The world’s largest church denomination has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the claims of those who were molested in childhood by clergy. Tell me, how long will God endure the pitiful cries of children who are molested by those who would represent Christ?
Thousands of children in Africa are being slaughtered in tribal wars, hacked to death by machetes. Young boys — even those under ten years of age — are enlisted into tribal militias and forced to murder men in initiation rites.
Here in the U.S., the blood of millions of aborted babies cries out from the ground.
Reports of school murders no longer shock many of us but continue to terrorize our children. We may grow hardened to such reports, but God’s heart is grieved by them.
I tell you, there is no worse violence than the brutalizing of children. Heaven is crying out, “Woe, woe! Your judgments have no cure.”1. In one hour, God is going to change the whole world.
A sudden cataclysmic event will strike, the first of the final judgments of God. This great event will cause the earth to reel. And Isaiah says that when it hits, there will be no place to escape: “The lofty [proud] city, he layeth it low…even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust” (Isaiah 26:5). “The inhabitants of the earth are burned” (24:6).
Once this happens, utter chaos will erupt. All civic activities will stop, and society will descend into massive disorder. Government agencies will be helpless to restore any kind of sanity. No state troopers, no national guard, no army will be able to bring order to the upheaval.
You well remember that when the Twin Towers were destroyed, help poured into New York from all over the world. An army of people came to assist in whatever way they could. But the scene in Isaiah’s prophecy is different: this calamity is clearly beyond humankind’s capacity to respond.
Once this judgment strikes, it will devastate the economy. Rich merchants will stand by watching in torment, weeping and mourning, as they face bankruptcy. In an instant, all the wealth they amassed will be reduced to nothing. John describes the scene: “The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city… For in one hour so great riches is come to nought” (Revelation 18:15–17).
Overnight, all buying and selling will cease. Every restaurant and bar will be shut down, and all drinking and music making will end. Indeed, every trace of mirth and delight, joy and gladness, will vanish: “All the merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song…. The mirth of the land is gone” (Isaiah 24:7–9, 11).
Yes, this is a picture of gloom and doom. But it is not my prophecy. This word was given by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, to be delivered by his righteous prophet Isaiah. Even the secular world is preparing for it to happen. Billions are being spent on homeland security in the U.S., England, Europe and Israel. Why? Military experts warn that a world-impacting terrorist attack is sure to come.
You may ask: “Why would the whole world change, if a nuclear attack occurs in just one city?” It will happen because of the fear of retaliation. If a rogue nation sends such an attack, you can be sure that within hours that nation will be wiped out. Consider the plan Israel has in place, known as the Samson Option. The moment a nuclear warhead is launched against them, within moments Israel will unleash nuclear missiles to devastate the capital cities of all enemy states.
The world has become a ticking bomb, and time is quickly running out.2. In one hour, God is going to change the church.
This hour of devastation will suddenly change churches, whether they are alive or dead. Isaiah writes, “There shall be the shaking as of an olive tree” (Isaiah 24:13). The image is of God shaking an olive tree after it has been picked of fruit. In short, he’s going to shake everything that can be shaken, sparing nothing. It will be a time of cataclysmic destruction and overwhelming darkness.
So, you ask, “What about God’s people in the midst of all this? What will happen to the church?” Isaiah gives us an incredible word about what will happen with believers.
In the midst of the terrible shaking, a song will be heard, and its sound will grow steadily stronger. Suddenly, in that darkest of hours, a worldwide chorus of voices will sing praises to the majesty of God: “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea” (24:14).
Do you get the picture? There will be panic everywhere. Men’s hearts will fail them for fear, as fires belch smoke seen for hundreds of miles. Disorder and chaos will reign on all sides. Yet amid the devastating fires and calamity, the world will hear a glorious song being sung: “Glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel… From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous [One]” (Isaiah 24:15–16).
A holy remnant is going to awaken, and a song will be born in the fire. Instead of panicking, the people of God will be praising his awesome majesty. Imagine it: in the darkest hour of all time, a collective voice will rise by the millions out of every nation, not in fear or agony, but in joyful praise to the Lord.
How will this happen, you ask? In one hour, God is going to regenerate and restore his church. Dry bones will shake and rattle, and the righteous will be awakened, as the Holy Spirit calls multitudes of lukewarm believers back to their first love. In his mercy, he’s going to rouse those who have neglected him, ignoring his Word, avoiding prayer, perhaps even contemplating divorce. Suddenly, their souls will be flooded with pangs of remorse and godly sorrow. And many will fall on their knees, crying out in repentance.
There will be a revival of glorifying God’s majesty. And the song of this revival will be heard from the uttermost parts of the earth. East, west, north and south — from Arab lands to China, Indonesia, Africa and all parts of the earth — a glorious song will rise up from the midst of the fires. In one day’s time, those who survived the fires are going to be singing a new song throughout the world.Isaiah 25 tells us wonderful miracles will come in this time, as “God makes all things new.”
All around the world, the Lord’s people are going to “feast” on his Word: “In this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined” (Isaiah 25:6).
“And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations” (25:7). Right now, in this time of prosperity, the world’s masses seem to be covered with a veil, unable to see the truth of Jesus Christ. But when God rises up to shake the world through judgment, the shrouds covering the minds of billions will be cast aside. The veil of darkness will be removed, and many will see the Lord in his glory. The Holy Spirit won’t force Christ upon these opened eyes and hearts; rather, a remnant is going to rise up from among them.
I believe the darkest shroud-coverings today are over the eyes and hearts of youth worldwide. This is especially true of college-age students, whose faith has been bombarded for up to four years. Over that time their minds have been indoctrinated by godless professors in classrooms where belief is attacked, mocked and scorned. Now these young men’s and women’s faith has been shipwrecked. They leave college convinced God is dead.
But in one hour of devastation — nuclear, economic and social — all such hypocritical veils are going to fall away. Those same professors who mocked them will realize, as they face the possibility of death, a choice must be made: “What about eternity? Is there life after death?” They’re going to look for someone to explain to them all that’s happening.
When the song is sung, it’s going to be heard by young people from every walk of life, from every nation under the sun. Many will harden their hearts and curse God at the sound of this song, but multitudes of others will join in singing of his majesty.3. In one hour, God is going to change us as individuals.
In a single hour, the focus of our lives will be changed. We’ll no longer obsess about our own adversities and troubles. Suddenly, so many things that we held dear will no longer be of any value to us. Why? In that hour, everyone will be in the same boat:
“It shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him” (Isaiah 24:2).
The sudden judgment that comes will not be a respecter of anyone. Rather, it is going to touch all who are within the realm of its fury. Presidents, kings, the world’s richest and most famous — all will tremble just like the poorest of the earth. And this cataclysmic event will bring to naught every idol, purging iniquity and tearing down all false altars:
“By this [the calamity] therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up [be left standing]” (Isaiah 27:9).
The world’s most prominent idol is money, and right now America is facing a monstrous financial disaster. Investors are scrambling to move their money out of high-risk funds, and mortgage companies are going bankrupt. One recent financial headline read, “Abandon Ship!” Everyone is selling and nobody is buying. Many households are in a panic, as overnight their lives are changing. I think of the president of a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund, who recently put up for sale his 142-foot yacht and his sixteen-bedroom mansion in Aspen, Colorado. His fund had dried up virtually overnight.
The day is coming when sports will be the last thing on people’s minds. I have nothing against sports, but soon there will be no more 250-million-dollar deals for athletes, when so much of the world is starving. All idols will come crashing down, crushed to dust, and the playing field will be leveled. The richest and the poorest alike will face the same conditions.
It will all happen within a day. “When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).Why such apocalyptic warnings?
You may wonder: what good can come of these prophetic messages? Why should anyone have to live under such anxiety?
I remind you, Jesus warned Jerusalem of sudden devastation to come upon that city. It was going to be burned to the ground, with over a million people murdered. Christ explained his warning: “I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe” (John 14:29). He was saying, in essence, “When it happens, you’ll know there is a God who loves you and forewarned you.”
Paul calls such warnings “light,” insights that expel darkness. He says, in short: “You are children of light, because you know what’s coming in the future. So, when destruction comes, and there’s panic all around, you will have the calm of the Holy Spirit. Something will quicken inside you, and you’ll remember, ‘God warned me.’ This prophecy isn’t a message of wrath to God’s people, but a wakeup call to begin preparing.”
“God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him” (1 Thessalonians 5:9–10). Paul is speaking here of a time of possible destruction. Therefore, he says, “Comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (5:11).
In this day of prosperity, nobody wants to hear a message like Isaiah’s. I certainly don’t want to hear it. But we cannot ignore it, because it is here at our door. In such times, Paul says, when we have knowledge that sudden destruction is coming, we are not to tremble or sorrow as the world does. Instead, we are to comfort one another in faith, knowing that God rules over every aspect of our lives.
“Be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation” (5:8). Paul instructs, “Arm yourself with faith. Build up your belief now, before the day comes. Learn your song, and you’ll be able to sing it in your fire.” “Glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel” (Isaiah 24:15).
This is the hope of our most holy faith: our Lord causes a song to come out of the darkest of times. Start now to build up your holy faith in him, and learn to praise his majesty quietly in your heart. When you sing your song, it will strengthen and encourage your brothers and sisters. And it will testify to the world: “Our Lord reigns over the Flood!”
Since its 1963 founding, AIPAC — a hostile to the rule of law, Washington-based Zionist lobby — has operated illegally in flagrant breach of the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act.
It requires organizations and persons “acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.”
By supporting Israeli apartheid ruthlessness, AIPAC remains virtually exempt to continue dirty business as usual with full support and encouragement from the empire of lies and forever wars on invented enemies.
Officials from both wings of its war party, to the highest levels, show up regularly at its annual conferences to express unconditional support for what demands condemnation.
As a Jewish state lobby in Washington, AIPAC, supports Israeli state terror, including slow-motion genocide of long-suffering Palestinians — what’s been reality for the past 75 years.
Haaretz slammed AIPAC, saying:
“Thanks in no small part to the environment of zero-tolerance that AIPAC and others cultivated, we’re now witnessing the consequences of this absurdity taken to its logical extreme.”
“The fascist fringe of Itamar Ben-Gvir and his ilk” hold key Netanyahu regime ministerial posts.
“This nightmare reality should force a reckoning over the political orthodoxy of ‘pro-Israel’ politics.”
“Is it really ‘pro-Israel’ to insist on silence when a fascist, homophobic, terrorist-glorifier is amassing power and making a mockery of” the rule of law?
“Is it ‘pro-Israel’ to smear those sounding the alarm and doing the thankless work of trying to save Israel from its worst impulses?”
Much the same is reality throughout the US/West.
In one country after another, hostile to peace, stability and the rule of law regimes run things — pursuing their own interests at the public’s expense.
Addressing AIPAC members by video from Israel on Monday, Netanyahu once again ranted about an Iranian threat — despite knowing that nothing of the sort exists, not now or earlier.
Prioritizing regional peace and stability over forever wars, the Islamic Republic never preemptively attacked another country.
It’s in stark contrast to how hegemon USA-dominated NATO regimes, Ukrainian Nazis and apartheid Israel operate.
Nothing they say can be taken at face value.
Ignoring charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust with indisputable evidence proving them, Netanyahu ranted the following:
“It’s time to close ranks between (apartheid) Israel and (hegemon USA) – and others,” adding:
“I look forward to discussing this issue with (the fake) Biden and his team” of unindicted war criminals.
“I think there is more of a meeting of the minds today than there has ever been.”
The Trump regime abandoned the landmark JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran in flagrant breach of Security Council Res. 2231, making it binding international and US constitutional law under its Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Paragraph 2).
Despite pledging return to JCPOA compliance, two years after usurping power by election rigging, it’s clear that dominant Biden regime hardliners never any intention to fulfill what’s mandated by international and constitutional law.
On Monday, the regime’s so-called national security advisor, Sullivan, dismissively said the following:
“Our priority right now is not the JCPOA” — instead of admitting that remaining in breach of the landmark agreement was planned all along.
And in stark contrast to nuclear armed and dangerous Israel, Iran abhors these weapons, wanting them eliminated everywhere before they eliminate us.
Separately in his Monday remarks, Netanyahu falsely blamed Iran for made-in-the-USA violence against its people since last September — what’s all about attempted regime change by the empire of lies and forever wars because the Islamic Republic remains free from its control.
Turning reality on its head and trampling on it — one of his specialties — Netanyahu praised US-recruited/anti-Iran thugs responsible for street violence, falsely calling them “brave men and women (sic).”
And falsely calling Iran “a terrible regime, depressive and terroristic (sic)” applies to the US/West, Ukraine and Israel, clearly not the Islamic Republic.
Heading the most extremist regime in Israeli history, Netanyahu and hardliners around him made the Jewish state a greater regional menace than ever before.
According to Jerusalem-based journalist, Zena Al Tahhan, on Tuesday:
It’s increasingly likely that things “on the ground (in the Occupied Territories will) explode” ahead.
She quoted Hebron University’s Political Science Department head, a Palestinian Policy Network member, Belal Shobaki, saying the following:
“A Palestinian confrontation and renewal of the struggle with occupation (ruthlessness) is inevitable,” adding:
“I believe that the scenario of matters exploding in 2023 is possible.”
“In the estimations of the Israeli military and security apparatus, the West Bank is bound to eventually mobilize.”
“Israel is trying to postpone this scenario for as long as possible by employing a strategy of containment and absorption.”
Over the past year before the current Netanyahu regime gained power, Israeli military violence was responsible for at least 170 Palestinian deaths, including 30 children.
Settler attacks increased significantly, as documented by the Yesh Din human rights group.
On Jan. 4, it reported the following:
“Every year during the (olive) harvest season, Israeli citizens violently attack Palestinian harvesters, steal olive crops and cut down trees.”
“Since 2005, Yesh Din has been documenting crimes committed by settlers and other Israelis against Palestinians during the harvest.”
“Acts of settler violence and damage to Palestinian property in the West Bank occur not only during the harvest season, but all year round.”
“This violence makes the Palestinian landowners afraid to freely and regularly access the agricultural plots they own.”
“In addition, the Palestinian landowners’ access to some of the lands is limited by a military “coordination mechanism”, which prohibits entry to private Palestinian lands adjacent to settlements and outposts without permission and prior coordination.”
“The violence and access restrictions to agricultural land caused many Palestinian farmers to give up other agricultural crops and focus on growing olive trees, which require relatively minimal maintenance.”
“Thus, beyond being a Palestinian national symbol, the economic importance of olives overall, and the olive harvest in particular, in the West Bank increased.”
Separately during the first 5 days of 2023, 4 more Palestinians, including 3 children were killed by Israeli forces.
The newly empowered Israeli regime prioritizes theft of Palestinian land for exclusive Jewish development and use throughout the West Bank.
Its dominant hardliners want a more impotent Palestinian Authority than already or elimination of the PA entirely.
On September 29, 2000, Palestinian anger erupted in response to Aerial Sharon’s provocative visit, protected by over 1,000 security forces, to the al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s 3rd holiest site.
The Second Intifada followed.
When it ended after five years of struggle, the toll on Palestinians included 4,166 deaths, including 856 children.
Another 3,530 were disabled, along with 554 assassinations.
Around 8,600 Palestinians were imprisoned.
Large-scale razing of Palestinian land occurred, over 2.3 million dunums confiscated for exclusive Jewish development and use.
Because of intolerable Netanyahu regime state terror against long-suffering Palestinians, including continued slow-motion genocide, will a third Intifada occur in the new year?
According to Shobaki:
“A single event, (a spark like Sharon’s provocation), may move (and) push (Palestinians) to the street.”
A Final Comment
Last Friday, Sullivan said what clear without need of explanation.
Like its predecessors, the Biden regime “is absolutely committed to Israel’s security, and that’s not going to change,” adding:
“There are significant (invented) challenges (sic), including the (invented) threat posed by Iran (sic).”
In stark contrast to nonthreatening Iran, hegemon USA-dominated NATO regimes threaten everyone everywhere.
The same reality applies to Israel regionally.
Separately, Sullivan pushed the myth of US “support for (a) two-state solution.”
Since establishment of the Jewish state in May 1948, US support for Israel has been and continues to be one-sided — at the expense of the rule of law and Palestinian rights.
The blood oath is fundamental. Biden and most of his cabinet and most courts and congress have probably taken it. That’s why they are excluded from mandatory vaccines. These people swore an oath or to represent citizens, but their true loyalty is to Satan (Communism.).They are traitors and should be treated as such.
Worldwide the vaccine passports is leading to a Chinese Communist social credit system where your every word and move are monitored for political correctness.
Like our “leaders,” the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)are Satanists. We now face persecution from this evil red dragon in the form of medical tyranny.We’re dealing with PURE EVIL.
The Final Choice is Good or Evil. What Choice Will Those with a Blood Oath Make?
The ultimate and final choice is between Good and Evil.
The Chinese say, “you can’t stand in two boats”; as the boats move apart, you will be forced to choose one boat or fall into the water. Those who have taken a blood oath are conflicted between doing what is Good or following a path that stops at no Evil.
Watch this video below to find out the great secrets hidden by the government.
The way to discern good or evil is to evaluate it against Truth, Compassion and Tolerance; this is the characteristic of the cosmos. Those who adhere to these universal principles are good. The ones who deviate from Truth, Compassion and Tolerance are wicked.
Karl Marx signalling the “hidden hand”, indicating the real power of the world from behind the scenes controls him and he has taken a Blood Oath.
In the Communist Manifesto (Chapter 2), Karl Marx spells out that communism is Satanism:
“There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom,, etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.”
Because communism is opposed to Truth and it abolishes all morality; therefore it is easy to see communism is evil.
Communism was created by evil and it is spread by evil people, hidden in the top layers of society with dual loyalties.
Today, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is playing the leading role to establish global communism.
The CCP requires a blood oath to join; it has brutally persecuted many groups in China since coming to power in 1949, killing an estimated 60-80m people who were opposed to communism.
This genocide in China has continued until today, because the CCP is always persecuting someone. One noteworthy group is Falun Gong, a peaceful meditation practice that was brought to the public in May, 1992. It was very popular in China, with over 100m people taking up the practice. The practice has five slow moving qigong exercises and a series of lectures that help people improve themselves to their very core.
Because Falun Gong practices Truth, Compassion and Tolerance, the CCP has persecuted them since July 20, 1999. Practitioners were detained, arrested, put to forced labor, imprisoned, tortured and had live organ harvesting (faluninfo.net).
The CCP is against Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. Now, the CCP and those aligned with it are utilizing every means at their disposal to persecute the entire world. Good people everywhere now face persecution from this evil red dragon in the form of medical tyranny.
COMMUNIST AGENTS
The CCP goal is the destruction of the USA and imposition of The Great Reset — worldwide communism. People are recruited because they hold positions of status or influence in society, and they are able to maintain their positions, while at the same time, secretly pledging their loyalty to something else.
The CCP requires a blood oath to become a member with these words:
“… ready at all times to sacrifice my all for the Party…”
“…both parties stop and swear unto death while standing in the midst of the blood, swearing by G-d (thus making G-d their 3rd party) to kill the covenant breaker and his seed after him if the terms of the covenant are breached.”
Traitor VP Mike Pence received this “token of appreciation” immediately after voting against Pres. Trump on Jan 6th, 2021. It’s rare to see high level secret society ceremonies in a public setting.
“All this I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, with a firm and steadfast resolution to keep and perform the same, without the least equivocation, mental reservation, or self-evasion whatsoever, binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence and burned to ashes, and these scattered by the four winds of heaven, that no more remembrance may be had among men or Masons of so vile a wretch as I should be, should I, in the least, knowingly or wittingly, violate or transgress this my Master Mason’s Obligation. So help me God and keep me steadfast.”
The Jesuit oath (from 1533 Jesuit oath):
“In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul and all corporeal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive, I will subscribe my name, written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or shaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my head and my feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me by demons in eternal hell forever.”
Finally, the Mafia also has a blood oath (related by Joe Valachi in testimony to Congress):
“I sit down at the table. There is wine. Someone put a gun and a knife in front of me. The gun was a .38 and the knife was what we call a dagger. Maranzano [the boss] motions us up and we say some words in Italian. Then Joe Bonanno pricks my finger with a pin and squeezes until the blood comes out. What then happens, Mr. Maranzano says, ‘This blood means that we are now one Family. You live by the gun and the knife and you die by the gun and the knife.’
Those swearing a blood oath are often required to spy and commit crimes for these groups. Their blood oath has priority over any other oath, they literally pledge their lives to these groups and must keep this secret. Their feet are more firmly planted in the evil boat, but they still have a chance until the end to make a better choice.
Dr. Fauci is Jesuit trained and a Deep State operative through six administrations. Watch his signals to know where his loyalties lie.
DUAL LOYALTIES
People who have taken a blood oath can be found throughout society in positions of authority and power in nearly every corner of the globe.
Many have literally “sold their souls” for wealth and other benefits. People who take a blood oath are recruited in, no one can “apply” to join and membership often follows family lines. The secret organizations see the power the person has access to, they can also “direct” things to make a person gain even more power, even becoming president of the United States.
Is it a surprise the “hidden hand” has guided events and created history in this manner? The large scale ritual sacrifices are now on a grand scale: two World Wars, the Holocaust (which means “burnt offering), 9/11 and now the biggest of all…the COVID/CCP Virus. All of these events were perpetrated by people with dual loyalties, whose feet are in two boats.
Food prices of the great depression in the 30s, were somewhat of a paradox, when you look back and consider how everything was so cheap, and, yet, at the same time, way too expensive for many people living through those times.
Food prices weren’t so much a problem for those who were employed during the great depression, as they could afford the daily essentials, and, perhaps, some extras, like a movie or ice cream; but, for the unfortunate ones who were unemployed, even the every-day, basic necessities were totally out of reach.
Actually, it wasn’t that the food prices were high, but it was the lack of, or absence of money that kept most things people not only desired, but needed, at arms length, or on the other side of the shop’s glass window.
Imagine not being able to run to the store and grab your desired food items, clothing, and, if you needed it, medicine; and then not being able to afford the mortgage or rent, or the electricity or gas for cooking. Could you go without?
Who, in our prior affluent day-and-age, could deal with that kind of inconvenience, when we’re used to flipping the light switch on in the morning, and turning on the automatic coffee machine to dilute some of those twelve-dollar-a-pound grounds we bought from the specialty coffee beanery-after already enjoying a six-dollar mocha grande with friends.
No such thing for families during the great depression, under their poor circumstances. Imagine buying just a plain (if you can get one today) cup of coffee with cream and sugar, for five cents; a two-egg-bacon-and-toast-with-a-piece-of-pie-and-a-cup-of-coffee breakfast, for 25 cents; or a candy bar for a dime.
It doesn’t sound like a lot, except those who were employed might only have been earning $2 or $3 a-day, but when you don’t have those few small coins, food prices of the great depression seemed pretty high! For those who had money, life was, undoubtedly, more comfortable even considering the times, but for those who had to scrimp and scrape to put food on the table, their days were filled with worry and strife.
Many mothers often went without food, so their children had more to eat. She didn’t spend her pennies foolishly, if she had them, but used them for the things that were vital to her family’s survival. She’d account for every cent.
With money during the great depression being so scarce, families frequently ran out of the little bit they may have acquired, from some type of labor, or, perhaps, from hocking something of sentimental value.
And, to make things worse, families lives were often compromised, or drasitically challenged, as the men would set out for other parts of the country seeking employment. Some men, never returned, but, instead, turned to illegal activities in hopes of gain, or to alcohol, only making their own, and their family’s problems worse. Some even chose suicide.
At any rate, most people had nowhere to turn, since borrowing from their neighbors or relatives would cause them further problems. Local stores might have extended credit to certain people, but they were rarely let off the hook to pay, as some people were still paying off bills that were outstanding, long after the war, which followed The Great Depression, ended.
Money-or, the lack of it-was the main thing that dominated millions of lives for many years during the earlier part of this century. And, it’s no different today. Money, for many people, in one way or the other, still rules.
Tough times are coming again for those who don’t think so, as many people world wide, are already experiencing our plummeting economy. I sure notice the presently rising food prices (or, more realistically, decreasing dollar value), as it costs way more for a half-empty grocery bag today, than it did not so long ago.
But, hey! There is hope, and for those who are informed, there’s no need to be surprised and led to despair by these coming hard times. We can take precaution, and plan and prepare for our now, and our future lifestyle management, by getting ahead of the game.
We can learn more about food prices of the great depression, and valuable ways on how we can prepare ourselves and our families, for what likely will, in some form or other, depending on our circumstances, be much like, or worse than, The Great Depression of the 30s.
When I think of the very real possibility of an economic collapse, I do not immediately think of a Doomsday Prepper wearing camouflage, toting an assault rifle and wearing a gas mask. That stuff makes for great television ratings, but it is just not real world.
The problem with shows like Doomsday Preppers is that, although it wakes people up to the very real threat of a major disaster and gets them thinking about preparedness, all too often the preparations take the wrong direction.
Let’s take a realistic look at an economic collapse in America and what preparations would be needed to get by. The best lesson is the 2001 economic collapse in the second biggest economy in the Western Hemisphere: Argentina.
At the time, Argentina was an economic powerhouse with a thriving middle class and a great standard of living. Then it hit: the money was devalued by a third overnight and the middle class all but disappeared.
There weren’t a lot of Argentinians looking for gas masks or assault rifles. More of them were worried about affording food and having matches to light their candles when power outages became commonplace.
While crime did skyrocket and personal defense concerns became much more important, the “Mad Max” scenario of roving bands of criminals with weapons terrorizing the citizens didn’t happen.
The lessons to be learned from Argentina are that those who had a very well stocked pantry and money invested in things like gold and silver coins (not collector’s items – just regular bullion) did much better than average.
Food prices skyrocketed and people went from worrying about which new CD to buy to worrying about whether they could come up with a good idea for another meatless meal, which was all they could afford to feed their family.
So take a realistic look at your survival priorities for an economic collapse and think more about food than gas masks. If you have an extra thousand dollars, don’t use it all on an assault rifle. Buy a shotgun for one-third the money and use the rest of the thousand to buy some silver.
And while you’re at it, think about the worst case scenario of something happening that causes civil unrest when you are where you are the greatest amount of time: at work or away from home.
What do you have with you in your car trunk at all times that will help you survive for a couple days if riots or road closures or even a storm or a natural disaster keep you from getting home right away. Don’t just be prepared for a disaster when you are in the comfort of your home. Think about how much time you are away, and what is in your car that you can count on…
