Do You Get The Feeling That Events Happening Now Are Leading Us Into An Endless Global Nightmare?
2021 was supposed to be the year that life went back to
normal. Obviously that is not happening, and so a lot of prominent voices
out there are going to be forced to update their narratives. Global
events have really started to accelerate, and so many of the things that the
“doom and gloomers” have been warning about are starting to happen right in
front of our eyes.
For example, on my websites I have been talking about Israel a lot
in recent months, and now it appears that the region is on the brink of
war. So far, more than 700 rockets have been fired into Israel from Gaza,
but by the time you read this article that number will probably be even
higher. In response, the IDF has conducted a series of dramatic strikes
inside Gaza, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising “to attack harder and increase the pace of attacks”…
‘Hamas will be hit in ways that it does not expect,’ Netanyahu
said. ‘We have eliminated commanders, hit many important targets and we have
decided to attack harder and increase the pace of attacks.’
Joe Biden and other world leaders are begging for peace, but
neither side appears to be inclined to back down.
Every time Israel retaliates, Hamas just launches even more
rockets at Israeli cities, and they are insisting that this is their “right”…
“We have the right to respond to the Israeli offensive and protect
the interests of our people as long as the Israeli occupation continues the
escalation,” Hamas said in a statement.
So here we go.
As I discussed last week, this situation has the potential to get
out of control very rapidly.
On Tuesday, the skies above Tel Aviv looked like a
sci-fi movie as
Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted countless incoming rockets from Gaza.
Could you imagine living in fear that a rocket could explode right next to you at any moment?
If that was happening in this country, millions of Americans would
be screaming for Biden to nuke somebody.
Meanwhile, the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack has caused massive
gasoline shortages up and down the east coast of the United States. On
Tuesday evening, the Drudge Report breathlessly declared that more than 1,000
gas stations had run out of gasoline, and Zero Hedge was reporting that some people were waiting in line for up to five hours
in a desperate attempt to fill up their vehicles.
Up until recently, just about the only thing that we were missing
from the economy of the 1970s was the long gas lines, but now here we are.
North America’s largest petroleum pipeline has been shut down for
just a few days, and now much of the southeastern quadrant of the country is
absolutely paralyzed.
Do you think that there is a lesson to be learned here?
Of course there is. Once again we see how incredibly
vulnerable we are to any sort of a major disruption. If the unprecedented
power grid failure in Texas a few months ago was not enough of a wake up call
for you, this definitely should be.
At this point, we are being told it is uncertain whether or not
the Colonial Pipeline will be able to restore operations by this weekend…
If the Colonial Pipeline is not back in business by the weekend, prices
could continue to rise at the pump and there will be broader localized fuel
shortages across the southeast and mid-Atlantic regions.
Eventually, the flow of gasoline will be restored and everyone
along the east coast will be able to fill up their vehicles again.
But the crazy inflation that we are witnessing right is not going
to go away.
For years, economic “doom and gloomers” have been warning that if
we kept recklessly creating, borrowing and spending money that really bad
things would happen.
How many times have we heard about “the death of the dollar” and
the dangers of wildly inflating our currency?
Well, it turns out that the “doom and gloomers” were dead on
accurate. Inflation is one of the biggest stories of 2021 so far, and we
just got another confirmation of how bad things are getting out there…
The median price for a single-family home in the U.S. rose the
most on record in the first quarter, as buyers fought over a dearth of
inventory, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Prices jumped 16.2% from a year earlier to a record high of
$319,200. The growth eclipsed the 14.8% rate in the fourth quarter, which was
the highest in data going back to 1989, the group said in a report Tuesday.
But at least home prices are not rising as fast as the price of
cotton is.
If you can believe it, the price of cotton is up more than 50
percent over the past year.
Of course the price of corn is rising even more rapidly. As
I discussed the other day, the price of corn is up about 50 percent just since the turn of
the year.
Needless to say, lumber still has everyone else beat. The
price of lumber has actually risen over 200% over the past 12 months.
A lot of comparisons have been made to the horrible inflation that
the U.S. experienced during the 1970s, but really I think that we need to go
all the way back to the 1930s for a more accurate parallel to our current
situation.
At this point, we are becoming more like the Weimar Republic with
each passing day.
But if you think that things are really bad now, just wait, because
you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Everywhere you look, systems are failing, society is crumbling and
evil is growing. Even the Secret Service, who are supposed to be the best
of the best, are now plagued by endless scandals and widespread incompetence.
This is not a drill. A widespread societal collapse is now
underway, and it is going to get progressively worse.
This is the time of our endless nightmare, but nobody is going to
ever be allowed to wake up from it.

Whether
it’s a Power Outage, a Broken Washing Machine, or Just Living Off the Grid,
Laundry is a Continuing Fact of Life.
In the
category of things that we take for granted, a clothes washer and dryer rank
near the top. Most times, the biggest complaint is folding and putting the
clothes away.
All of that
will change if you ever have to do laundry by hand, and we’re not going to use
alternative machines or apparatus. We’re sticking with the pioneer spirit...

Preparedness for Families
There are the, for lack of

helping Will Smith stop an alien invasion or getting your “Red Dawn” on. But
preparedness has a less sexy side, and that is bad weather or general mayhem.
Recently, we were prepared to weather a storm that turned out to be for naught,
but it was comforting to be ready. And the kids got to play along... Full Article

What Will You Do When Inflation Forces U.S. Households To Spend 40 Percent Of Their Incomes On Food?
Did you know
that the price of corn has risen 142 percent in the last 12 months? Of
course corn is used in hundreds of different products we buy at the grocery
store, and so everyone is going to feel the pain of this price increase.
But it isn’t just the price of corn that is going crazy. We are seeing
food prices shoot up dramatically all across the industry, and experts are warning
that this is just the very beginning. So if you think that food prices
are bad now, just wait, because they are going to get a whole lot worse.

Many of our friends are prepping and/or hunkering down. Some think this is Biblical in nature...
I believe Red China is and our own Dems are behind much of this bull crap... communists had won the Chinese Civil War and been in total power since 1945, Chairman Mao still believed that there was too much capitalist influence in China.
So he decided to completely rewrite literature, history, and the entire education system.
School instruction switched from teaching math and science, to activism-same crap here in the USA!
