How much time do we have left before full
authoritarianism or revolution?
There is one question I receive from readers more than any other,
and that is: "How much time do we have left before collapse or
rebellion?"
To be clear, I have no crystal ball, and timing is the one thing
that is almost impossible to know for certain. For example, in 2018 and 2019 I
noted in several articles that the globalists only needed one more major event
in the U.S. or globally to trigger the last stage of economic decline and to
launch their "great reset." Only a year later we found ourselves in
crisis due to the pandemic lockdowns and supply chain disruptions. In 2014 in
an article written during the Ebola scare I suggested that a pandemic and
medical tyranny might be the strategy that the globalists would use. I knew the
chances were high but knowing exactly when is another matter entirely. All that
any of us can ever do is look at the odds of a particular event and guess when
it might happen according to the visible trends.
The only exception to this rule is that the closer you get to pure
conflict or chaos, the closer you get to the collapse, the easier it can be to
predict a timeline. If you are an experienced chess player, you know that
high-stakes contests tend to build and build until there is a singularity — a
moment when the end game is near and the winner will be decided in a flurry of
attacks. I believe we are close to that point in America today.
To understand the state of the world right now it is important to
accept the fact that there is a contingent of people in financial and political
power that have a plan or a "vision" for the future, and part of
their plan requires the removal of American patriots and conservatives and the
subjugation of the American people. It is our history of rebellion against
tyranny that they need to erase because it has the ability to inspire a future
rebellion against the global totalitarian empire they plan to impose.
People also need to accept another fact. Now that the globalists
have openly set their agenda in motion with the pandemic lockdowns, forced
vaccination plans and medical passport schemes, they have a limited amount of
time to achieve their objectives. Now that they have made their moves openly, a
rebellion is brewing, and they are in a race to bring in their
"reset" before patriots in the U.S. and in other parts of the world
stop them.
So, what does this mean for conservatives and liberty advocates in
2021? Time is growing short.
I believe that we will be witnessing a full economic and social
crash within the next year. Here are the reasons why, and I will discuss the
economic reasons first, followed by the social and political reasons:
End of the eviction moratorium
The end of the eviction moratorium has been delayed a couple of
times, but the latest attempt has been struck down by the Supreme court and
federal courts. At least 12 million renters in the U.S. have said they are
behind on their payments and 26 percent of Americans are struggling to pay
their bills overall. The real number is likely much higher given that normal
eviction numbers dropped by over half in 2020 due to the moratorium. There is a
federal program being forwarded for renter's assistance, but the problem is
more complex than simply dropping fiat money from helicopters.
Another issue is that the housing market is still hot in some
areas of the country, and the landlords of many rented homes might be looking
to sell those properties and make a profit. Look at it this way... if you were
a landlord and you just spent the last year receiving no rent checks from
your property investments because tenants refused to pay due to the moratorium,
would you want to keep renting out your properties? Probably not. You would
have no idea if another moratorium might be instituted by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, and the chance to sell properties that were
making you no money last year and get inflated prices for them this year is
going to be very tempting.
Sadly, there are a lot of good people out there that have to rent
and cannot buy right now, and because of the eviction moratorium, many rental
properties are about to be sold and removed from the market for years to come.
There is going to be a drought in rentals except in the most undesirable cities
in the U.S., I guarantee it. On top of that, even with demand for rentals being
high, building new apartments and homes will be difficult because construction
companies are booked for a year or more in advance and lumber prices are still
outrageous.
In other words, there are going to be millions of more Americans
out on the streets regardless of any federal stimulus programs. Some of them
will deserve it, and some of them won't. The crash, which was being hidden by
federal measures, will now become highly visible as the homeless population
explodes.
Employment shortage
Right now, there is an underlying and very dangerous trend that
almost no one in the mainstream is talking about, and that is the fact that
many small and medium-sized businesses are finding it difficult or impossible
to hire new employees. Why? A primary reason is that federal and state
authorities are paying people more money through unemployment to stay at home
and do nothing than those people would make working an actual job. There is
simply no incentive for many Americans to go back to work.
From what I have seen, this is killing businesses. Only major
corporations and big-box retailers seem to be operating near normal capacity,
and this is because they can afford to pay much higher wages and bonuses while
being given endless stimulus dollars from the Federal Reserve. Small businesses
do not have this option and are getting little to nothing from the small
business bailouts promised at the onset of the pandemic.
The COVID checks are supposed to end in the next few months, but
by the time this happens, it is likely that many small businesses will have
already closed due to a lack of personnel.
End of the COVID stimulus checks
COVID payments and unemployment bonuses are scheduled to end in
most states by September. Some states have already started, but the process of weening
people off the government handouts is slow. It is likely that there will be
numerous legal battles, and that some people will even demand that the stimulus
checks never end.
In other words, there will be calls for Universal Basic Income in the near
term.
That said, I suspect the checks will be cut off completely for a
time, and that this will lead to a considerable spike in poverty levels.
The problem is that every stimulus program the government has
implemented appears to be an attempt to "help," when it actually sets
up millions of people to be hurt. Dependency on the government breeds
submission to the government, and every once in a while, the establishment will
seek to remind people of who their daddy is by cutting off the funds and the
handouts. Beyond that, constant stimulus creates dollar devaluation and
hyperinflation. We are seeing the first major signs of inflation now, and it's
not going to stop.
Stagflationary tensions rising
In many sectors of the economy, demand is beginning to fall yet
prices are remaining high. In necessities in particular there has been a huge
increase in price inflation even though many Americans are reducing their
purchases. This is what they call "stagflation," and it is in my
opinion the worst possible financial condition.
There are a number of reasons why this is happening, but mainly it
is because of the federal reserve and its incessant money creation schemes.
There is always a
price to pay for fiat money printing, and we are starting to see that price
now. I am noticing inflation in my personal costs of up to 20 percent per
month, and I'm sure many of you out there are seeing the same thing or worse
depending on what part of the country you live in.
There has also been
extensive "shrinkage" in the packaging of goods at the grocery
stores; meaning the amount in the package is reduced while the price remains
the same. This is a coordinated effort by corporations to hide the fact that
price inflation is growing. I think that this inflation will accelerate as we
close in on the end of this year and that price spikes will become a constant
mainstream discussion by next year. "Inflation" or
"stagflation" will be the word on everyone's lips in 2022.
A return of pandemic lockdowns?
The Biden administration and the globalists have been hitting the
public hard with COVID propaganda in the past month, more so than they have for
a while. They are specifically trying to fearmonger with the "delta
variant" narrative. Frankly, nothing has changed. Even with the vaccine
rollout, governments around the world are trying to keep the lockdowns and mask
mandates in place. This just goes to show that the mandates were never about
public health, and they were always about control.
It is hard to say what exactly the long-term consequences will be.
What I do know is that the establishment elites are in a panic in the U.S.
These people care nothing for public health or safety, so why are they so
aggressively adamant about making sure we all take the vaccine? I suspect a
long-term population control agenda including a likelihood of mass infertility
(according to many experts there is a danger of this), but we will have to wait
and see what happens.
I think that lockdowns in blue states are possible again in the
near term, perhaps over the delta variant, but it may be early next year over a
different variant. Most red states will remain open, and this will cause the
Biden administration to go on the offensive against conservatives once again. I
have no doubt that Biden will seek to cut off federal funds from states that
refuse to comply with the lockdown agenda. The question is, will red states
fold to this threat? And if some governors do, will citizens remove them from
their positions?
Vaccine passports on the way
Talk of vaccine passports is exploding in Europe right now,
causing riots and protests in many countries, and the U.S. is next. The
difference is that in the U.S. the public is heavily armed, but this is not
going to stop the globalists from making the attempt.
For now, the strategy in the U.S. is to use corporations as
middlemen to implement the draconian passport restrictions. This cannot be
tolerated by the citizenry. Just as we have seen with Facebook and the Biden
administration, corporations and governments are allied closely with each other
(in true fascist form), and if corporations are taking government money and
implementing government policies then they should no longer be considered
private businesses and they are now subject to constitutional restrictions and
public retribution.
If we allow the vaccine passports to become entrenched across the
U.S., the fight is essentially over. There needs to be widespread county and
statewide resistance to this program. With the vaccine passports, long-term
tyranny is assured, and the elites will have micro-control over every aspect of
our daily lives. Just as the communists in China have enacted a "social
credit system," we will have a similar system in the U.S. And all the
government will have to do to end your life is to cancel your vaccine passport.
Without it, you will not be able to participate in the normal economy, keep a
job, or even go to the grocery store.
Alternative systems will need to be built, and they will need to
be defended. The establishment will never willingly allow competing economic
systems to be built that give non-vaccinated people the ability to survive
without them. They will want to make sure you and your family starve to death
for your defiance. This will lead to war.
War is inevitable
When you are dealing with psychopaths, there is no reasoning,
there is no logic, there is no diplomacy, there is no empathy. They want
control over everything,
they will do anything to get it, and the only option is to remove them by force
as a threat. This is reality.
The globalists are for all intents and purposes an organized cult
of psychopaths. All of their behavior suggests this is the case, and the only
recourse is to treat them as you would any individual psychopath. You lock them
up and throw away the key, or you put them in the ground permanently.
The issue with rebellion is that it is largely dependent on the
actions of tyrants. Go too soon and you look like the villain and lose a chance
to gain public support, go too late and you miss your opportunity to fight back
effectively. Of course, a lot of people wrongly assume that because the bullets
aren't flying yet this means that there is no rebellion. This is naive.
The real fight
is happening right now as millions of conservatives and patriots organize and
prepare. Staging logistics and organizing community groups is where the war is
won first. Without these efforts beforehand there is no chance of winning the
fight that comes later. On top of that, the information war is paramount, and I
would say that we have been far more successful than the elites would like to
admit. Just look at how they are struggling in the U.S. to get the vaccination
numbers they want and the vaccine passport policies they need to maintain
control.
This is why I expect some kind of interference against the
alternative media very soon. They have to get rid of us first because they need
to have a complete monopoly on the flow of information. This will probably
occur in the form of a major cyberattack that shuts down large parts of the
web, or, they will attempt to enforce censorship of individual websites just as
they are enforcing censorship on social media.
If mass censorship becomes policy, if vaccine passports are
enacted, if conservatives come under direct attack, the shooting war will
begin. It is only a matter of time, and the time is speeding towards us quickly. Again, just as we are
now living in a different America compared to 2019, in 2022 or early 2023
everything will be changed again. There is little room left for the elites to
achieve their reset and they will have to act quickly. The more time that
passes the less momentum they will have, and they know it.

SIDEBAR
In our tanking society some of the most incompetent people that
you can imagine end up running entire organizations, and if you are particularly
corrupt and useless you may get to be a politician.
By now, you are probably thinking that I am going to talk about
Joe Biden in this article, and you are right.
In this era of extreme incompetence, it somehow seems appropriate
that sleepy Joe is presiding over our “idiocracy”.
Barack Obama knew that this could happen. According to
Politico, he
once said that nobody should “underestimate Joe’s ability to **** things up”.
Everything that Biden touches
seems to turn into a failure. Just look at the crisis on the
border. It is the worst that it has ever been in our entire history, and
we are being told that “morale is in the toilet” among our Border Patrol
agents…
