Predictions for 2019 and Beyond
I don’t always have my crystal ball
well polished available for predictions.
However, in December I made the prediction that Michelle Obama would run
for president and in 2016 I wrote…
Before Trump took office I had
forecast a forced exit date for him [due to so many hits from Dems, RINOs, the
media, the Deep State] from office of June 2019, and so it remains to be seen
if he manages cling on past mid 2019…I even went so far to say they would even
consider his assassination in the 3rd year.
Most
are trapped by conventional wisdom and normalcy bias and steeped in
establishment propaganda and you have masses of people who are little more than
walking zombies reacting to sights and sounds around them with little thought
to long-term consequences.
It's
small wonder that most people live paycheck to paycheck
The middle
class continues to decline, and at this point half of all American
workers make less than $30,533 a year.
Today we have the unprecedented problem of ignorance and mass
deception promulgated by media and public education systems. This is further
exacerbated by a system of Wall Street pirates which transfer jobs and wealth
to offshore locales at unprecedented an scale leaving what’s left of the Middle
Class to pick up the tax tab for an enormous government and its hoard of
government workers and our welfare state.
Any
prudent and wise person who is watching events in the U.S. would know that we
are witnessing the last gasp of the elites in their desperate attempt to
preserve the present system which is collapsing. The end can't be far away.
In 2017, the
Dow was either up or down by 1 percent or more just 8 times. In 2018, it
happened 64 times. Volatility has returned to Wall Street in
a major way, and that is a really bad sign.
There
will be no changes to stop the movement of events. Many of the American people
are asleep. All politicians are just kicking the can down the road hoping that
they can milk the system a while longer. The fat pensions that they hope for
and expect will evaporate with paper money.
Not one American in a million suspects that they are
gradually becoming impoverished by depreciation of the currency…the undermining
of our purchasing power is staggering. Government ‘accounting’ of inflation is
in reality a fleecing of America as it doesn’t take into account the cost of
food, home energy costs, health care, college tuition or fuel.
Anticipating events to
come in the year ahead doesn't involve reading tea leaves or being clairvoyant.
It merely requires studying real history, studying real current events (not
fake news) and using common sense to make application of the natural
progression of things.
The problem is that so
many people don't look ahead any further than the end of their noses. Couple
that with the fact that most are trapped by conventional wisdom and normalcy
bias and steeped in establishment propaganda and you have masses of people who
are little more than walking zombies reacting to sights and sounds around them
with little thought to long-term consequences.
It's small wonder that
most people live paycheck to paycheck. Many were producers and savers, yet have
been reduced to the crumbs of minimum wage by government regulations and dollar
devaluation. Yet many also stay either lost in a fog of pop culture or agitated
beyond reason by the divisive politics that are fed to us through the
mainstream media. They don't know how to look beyond the noise.
My mother used to say
that the Lord takes care of drunks and fools. Well that worked in her day, but
it's more complicated now. We have the unprecedented problem of ignorance and
mass deception, coupled with poverty and mass malnutrition. These are real
problems and they are getting worse.
One study
found that one-third of all American teenagers haven’t read a single book in the past year.
Any prudent and wise
person who is watching events in the U.S. would know that we are witnessing the
last gasp of the elites in their desperate attempt to preserve the present
system which is collapsing. The end can't be far away.
There will be no changes
to stop the movement of events. The American people are asleep. All politicians
are just kicking the can down the road hoping that they can milk the system a
while longer. The fat pensions that they hope for and expect will evaporate
with paper money. They are numb to reality.
There is potentially
great danger and great hardship ahead. All the government can do is print more
money and keep promising everybody everything.
The elite who run the
show want to get everything they can out of the system before it collapses.
They rely on the fact that not one American in a million suspects that they are
gradually becoming impoverished by depreciation of the currency. Depreciation
of the currency is warfare by the government against the people. Only a handful
of Americans realize what is happening. I feel that you readers of these Alerts are
aware and concerned and are and have been preparing for survival.
Evidence of the collapse
of America is everywhere for those who have eyes to see.
Here's what I anticipate
in 2019 and beyond:
- Democrats have signaled they are
all in on removing guns from the American people, and Trump has signaled he's
willing to capitulate with his recent unconstitutional ban on bump stocks.
A bill to ban so-called "assault weapons" will pass the House
with minimal Republican support. It will fail in the Senate. But a
compromise "red flag"-type bill to remove weapons from
"dangerous people" will pass Congress and be signed by the
president. Prominent Republicans are already hinting they're onboard.
Under "red flag" laws, anyone can report to authorities that a
person is potentially dangerous and law enforcement can confiscate his
weapons. This is a blatant violation of due process, but the Constitution
is meaningless in this day and age. There will also be moves — some
successful, some not — to require insurance to own firearms, register to
purchase ammo, etc. Americans will, by and large, capitulate. There has
never been a more dangerous time to your liberties than now.
- Economic gun control will continue
with banksters and credit card companies squeezing gun and ammo
manufacturers and sellers and big tech shutting down any information on
weapons-related products.
- Big Tech will continue to stifle
free speech. Conservative ideas will be classified as
"wrong-think" and shadow-banned if not banned outright. This is
already underway.
- Recession coming. It's already
begun. Trump has taken credit for the rising stock market, though it's not
of his doing, but a natural offshoot of money printing and artificially
low interest rates. He'll have to wear it as the market crashes. And crash
it will. Trump's tariffs, another bursting housing bubble and bursting
auto loan bubble will usher in another recession. Even Alan Greenspan is
warning of a coming "stagflation;" a period of high inflation,
high interest rates, rising unemployment and stagnant economy. GM started the layoff engines with
its announcement of 14,000 layoffs just before Christmas and Michigan
Democrats wrung their hands in despair this time. Gold and silver will break out of
their doldrums starting in 2019.
- Congress will pass some sort of Obamacare
light to replace Obamacare, which was ruled unconstitutional by a federal
court but remains in place until the Supreme Court hears the case. It will
just be another collectivist scheme that denies you health freedom.
- Trump's popularity will sink even
among his most die-hard fans in the wake of his ban on bump stocks,
capitulation on gun control, failure to build a wall and bad economic
news.
- The transgender cult will continue
its drive to abject absurdity, and religious and economic liberty will continue
to suffer because of it. Transgenderism is a mental disorder treated as
science by the leftist social Marxists. There are currently 117 different
"genders" listed on the website Genderfluid Support. According
to the American Academy of Pediatrics, about 0.6 percent (1.4 million)
U.S. adults identify as transgender or "gender nonconforming."
Based on this number, researchers posit that approximately 150,000
children aged 13-17 identify as transgender. But by the way it dominates
society, one would think there are 100.4 million transgenders rather than
1.4 million.
- War on the horizon. Trump has
announced a pullout of troops from Syria. But globalists still want war
with Iran (as a proxy war with Russia) and machinations are underway in
South America, where unseen powers are orchestrating a war between
Venezuela and Columbia. Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton, a
neo-con war hawk leftover from the George W. Bush administration, has
labeled Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela as a "troika of tyranny,"
echoing Bush's "axis of evil" line and signaling regime change
is ahead for one or more of those countries.
- Civil
war in America increasingly likely.
There is great ideological and cultural divide in America now.
Conversation and reconciliation between the two sides seems impossible at
this point. And if Democrat efforts to impeach Trump occur before Trump
has sacrificed all his campaign promises (and voter goodwill) to the
globalist collective, the Trumpsters may go to great length to save his
presidency.
- The EU will break apart. The issue
is not just gas taxes, as the media would have you believe. The revolts in
France, Belgium and Romania are in response to the oppressive global
climate scam and the influx of Third World (Muslim) immigrants that are
destroying those nations' economies and cultures as evidenced in Germany
in particular.
- Establishment of a national DNA
database. This is already happening
commercially with people purchasing genetic testing services from private
companies. The Feds will suck all that data up — if they haven't
already — and if you aren't already in the database will either acquire
your DNA surreptitiously during medical procedures or if you are ever
arrested (perhaps as a provision in a new Obamacare replacement law) or
require everyone to submit DNA. They will do this under the auspices of
locating criminals and/or weeding out diseases.
- Medical privacy gone. Judges are
now issuing search warrants allowing police to perform invasive medical
procedures from blood draws to cavity searches to surgeries on unwilling
people suspected of hiding or using drugs. Some of the worst public
policies imaginable are justified by the political class under the mantra
of "keeping you safe" and "for the children."
- I still believe Michelle Obama
is the likely Democratic front runner for president and her current
book tour is a trial run. With the
backing of Oprah she would do well.
The
U.S. is in default against the American people as well as the rest of the world
who hold American dollars.

Develop a Well-Rounded Prepper
Library
When the topic of a prepping library comes up,
what do most people talk about? Chances are the U.S. Air
Force survival manual, SAS survival manual, Army Field Manual 21-76, or something from Ragnor Benson.
When people
get into prepping they typically start with stockpiling, then may gravitate
towards self-sufficiency. For example, someone may start off with stockpiling
canned goods, then move towards mylar bags and
freeze dried foods, then finally arrive at prepsteading, farming, and
gardening.
Most people who live in the suburbs can have a small garden, maybe
some laying hens, and fruit trees. This allows just about anyone to grow some
of their own food.
As preppers progress from stockpiling to prepsteading, shouldn’t
their library also progress?
Chances are a lot of preppers do not have a single book on
gardening, homesteading, canning and preserving food… etc. Even less will have
books on literature, science, and math.
If we are prepping for a complete collapse of society, shouldn’t
we also stockpile books for future generations? If something were to happen
today – plague, nuclear war.. etc – what types of books would the reader have
on hand to teach their children, or grandchildren?
What good does it do to survive the next plague, nuclear war… if
future generations do not have access to resources? This means real books
made from paper and not electronic books for e-readers.
Why real books?
·
A real book can be dropped, and dropped several times without
damage.
·
Real books do not require electricity.

Democrats are like a cancer which will now eat away at our nation from within focusing on Trump with their venom rather on the real needs of the country. They are so caught up with hate that they've lost sight of the good he has done. Hell, they don't give a crap about our border security-they'd rather allow disease, drugs, drugs and welfare breeders and possibly terrorists & gang members into our nation and what mainstream Americans, well they can go to hell...Schumer & Pelosi disgust me.
Wow-my first time reading your blog by way of twitter and I'm impressed with the amount you pack in and it sure seems spot on and insightful. I'm with you on much. Leftists and Democrats have been god-awful in their spite against Trump as if the devil put a spike up their collective arses to do evil on this nation with their blind hatred of him and mainstream Americans. I truly do wonder if their goal is to start a civil war and overthrow democracy and replace it with some kind of asinine socialist BS overlord government where no one has any rights or money of their own!
My prediction is that Democrats are going to screw America big time starting with Trump-they have zero regard with fixing our infrastructure, border security or electrical grid-just seething with revenge against the president like little kindergarden brats.
