On The
Verge Of The Unthinkable
Over the past couple of years we have become accustomed to
expecting the unexpected, but soon we many have to start anticipating the
unthinkable. In this article, I am going to be discussing a couple of
potential scenarios that would have been unimaginable to the vast majority of
Americans just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, our world is now
changing at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking, and many things that were
once “unimaginable” could soon become reality.
Let’s start by talking about the record-setting heat wave which is
making the epic megadrought in the western half of the country even
worse. Many western farmers planted crops this year hoping that weather
conditions would eventually turn in their favor, but that has definitely not
happened. In fact, at this point 88
percent of
the West is experiencing at least some level of drought.
2021 has been the worst year of this multi-year megadrought so
far, and last week was the worst week for this drought up to this point in
2021. Old temperature records were shattered all over the West, and some
areas were already seeing triple digits by 8
o’clock in the morning…
The West is in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave this week,
as all-time records were shattered and daily records broken in over a dozen
states.
Even by desert standards, the heat wave in the Southwest is
atypical. On Thursday, the National Weather Service in Tucson tweeted that the
city recorded a temperature of 100 degrees at 8:14 a.m., the second earliest
time in the day recorded since 1948.
That is crazy.
Can you imagine hitting triple digits before you have even
finished your morning coffee?
Summer had not even officially begun yet last week, and yet new
all-time record highs were being established all over
the place…
Record-breaking temperatures spread from California to Montana
this week. On Thursday, the all-time high temperature was tied in Palm Springs,
California at 123 degrees, breaking the previous June record of 122 degrees.
Salt Lake City tied its all-time record high of 107 degrees. The
old record was notably set in July — when temperatures are usually at their
highest for the year in that region. This comes after daily record highs were
broken Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Salt Lake, each with temperatures
exceeding 100 degrees.
We have never seen anything quite like this in the state of Utah.
More than half of the state is in the highest level of drought, and thanks to dramatic
water restrictions farmers are being forced to choose which of
their crops will die…
With drastic limits placed on what little water he has, Tom Favero
said he and many farmers along this west side of Weber County were forced to
watch some crops die. “We’ve all made serious choices of what fields we can
water and what we can’t,” Favero said.
Another Utah farmer that lost a lot of corn and an entire field of
barley said that it really “hurts” to see his hard work go
to waste…
Farmer Dean Martini pointed at one of his fields. “That corn
there, where I can’t water, I don’t have the water. It makes me sick to see it
go to heck like that.”
With limits on amount and time, he said there wasn’t enough water
flowing to make it across his fields. While some of the corn dried up, he had
to let a whole field of barley go too. “It hurts buddy. That hurts,” Martini said.
Of course this is just the beginning.
If this summer is as hot and as dry as they are projecting, we
could see catastrophic crop failures all across the West.
And that is really bad news, because the state of California alone
produces more than
a third of our vegetables and about two-thirds of our fruits and nuts.
A few years ago, hardly anyone would have imagined that we would
be facing a crisis of this magnitude in 2021, but here we are.
Paleoclimatologist Kathleen Johnson is quite “worried” about what will happen
this summer, and she is warning that this drought is shaping up to be the worst
the region has experienced “in at
least 1,200 years”…
I’m worried about this summer – this doesn’t bode well, in terms
of what we can expect with wildfire and the worsening drought. This current
drought is potentially on track to become the worst that we’ve seen in at least
1,200 years.
[Most climate
fear mongers won’t tell you however, our climate has ALWAYS changed for at
least 28,000 years due primarily to our planet’s shifting axis]
Now I would like to shift gears.
A few years ago, hardly anyone would have imagined that we would
be facing a very serious computer chip shortage in 2021. In particular,
the most sophisticated chips are really in short supply, and what most people
don’t realize is that “almost
all” of
them are made by a single company based in Taiwan…
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. chips are everywhere,
though most consumers don’t know it.
The company makes almost all of the world’s most sophisticated
chips, and many of the simpler ones, too. They’re in billions of products with
built-in electronics, including iPhones, personal computers and cars—all
without any obvious sign they came from TSMC, which does the manufacturing for
better-known companies that design them, like Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc.
Because manufacturing those chips is so exceedingly complicated,
other companies can’t just plop down new factories and start pumping out their
own chips. Business leaders in the U.S. are now planning new factories,
but it could take quite a few years before they are up and running.
So even under ideal conditions, the chip shortage will not be
resolved for some time.
But what happens if China invades Taiwan within the next several
years? This is something that U.S. officials were warning about earlier
this month…
Concerns are growing in Washington over the possibility that China
could try to invade Taiwan in the next few years.
Top U.S. military officers have warned in recent months that
Beijing might try to make the explosive move this decade, and recent saber
rattling, including a Chinese military amphibious landing exercise near the
island, is further raising the alarm.
Can you imagine the chaos that it would cause for the global
economy if the primary supply of advanced chips was suddenly cut off?
According to the
Wall Street Journal, TSMC currently makes “around 92% of the world’s most
sophisticated chips”…
Its technology is so advanced, Capital Economics said, that it now
makes around 92% of the world’s most sophisticated chips, which have
transistors that are less than one-thousandth the width of a human hair.
Samsung Electronics Co. makes the rest. Most of the roughly 1.4 billion
smartphone processors world-wide are made by TSMC.
Without TSMC, the global economy as it is structured today would
not be able to function.
So the fact that China is being more aggressive than ever with
Taiwan should deeply alarm all of us. For example, check out what
happened just last
week…
China has flown 28 warplanes into Taiwan-controlled airspace, the
biggest sortie of its kind since the Taiwanese government began publishing
information about the frequent incursions last year.
The flights are widely seen as part of an effort by Beijing to
dial up pressure on Taiwan, a self-governed democracy of about 24 million
people off the Chinese coast that the Chinese government considers a part of
China.
We should have never allowed ourselves to become so dependent on
foreign chips, but we did.
And now experts are telling us that the chip shortage will
last into next
year under
the best of conditions…
Dimitris Dotis, the Audi brand specialist at Audi Tysons Corner
dealership in Virginia, summed up the situation to customers. “Almost all
microchips that go into all new vehicles including Audi come from TSMC in
Taiwan,” he wrote. “They expect bottlenecks in the supply chain to last through
2022.”
Of course if China does decide to invade Taiwan, the U.S.
military will
respond, and
that would mean no advanced chips for us for the foreseeable future.
In this article, I have shared just two potential scenarios which
could soon plunge us into unthinkable nightmares.
Needless to say, there are many, many more crisis points that bear
watching right now as well.
We have reached such a critical moment in our history, and I
expect global events to accelerate even more as we head into the second half of
2021.

That plan follows a specific series of events that all orbit
around the concept of "planned chaos." The steps to achieve this
chaos are already well under way.
In today's article and podcast, I walk through the steps of this

Executives Say Inflation Could Be Worse Than Predicted
A while back we posted an
article called Where You Should Store Your Food and someone left a really good
comment: "If you are hiding food in a post SHTF situation these places the
writer mentions are all places where desperate people would look first."
This is very true, but the article wasn't about where you should
hide your food. I was simply suggesting some possible storage places and
reminding the reader to take temperature, humidity, and sunlight into account.
The locations I suggested are fine for temporary disasters like hurricanes,
blizzards, and tornadoes that knock out power for several days.
Doing this requires thinking outside the box. When you look
around your home, don't just look for places to hide your food, think about
ways to turn everything you see into a hiding place. With the former, you'll
only see obvious places like drawers, cabinets, under beds, etc...
