The United States And Russia Are At War. You Do Realize How This Is Going To End, Don’t You?

Joe Biden just made a surprise visit to Kyiv during which he announced that the U.S. is going to be involved for “as long as it takes” to win the war against Russia.  Meanwhile, the Russians have now pulled together far more forces than they originally invaded Ukraine with a year ago.  They intend to fight for “as long as it takes” too.  There are no peace negotiations and there aren’t going to be any peace negotiations.  Both sides are counting on the other side to eventually back down.  But what happens if both sides just keep escalating matters until a “point of no return” is reached?

After we have seen countless other world leaders visit Kyiv over the past year, Joe Biden finally mustered the courage to make the trek himself, and the mainstream media is making a really big deal out of it

The US will back Ukraine in its fight against Russia for “as long as it takes” President Joe Biden said as he made an unannounced and symbolic visit to the capital, Kyiv.

“We have every confidence you’re going to continue to prevail,” he said.

Mr Biden’s first trip to Ukraine as president came days before the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion.

During his visit, Biden announced even more aid for Ukraine.

But we have already given 196 billion dollars in aid to the Ukrainians…

According to the Ukrainian government, the U.S. leads all countries with $196 billion in total military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine between Jan. 24, 2022 through Nov. 20, 2022.

How much more will we give them during the coming year?

Sadly, the truth is that we are providing far more funding for this war than anyone else, and that includes the Ukrainians.

Vast armies of foreign mercenaries are being hired using our tax dollars, and those foreign mercenaries have become more critical than ever because the Ukrainians are literally running out of warm bodies to throw into the meat grinder in eastern Ukraine.

We are also providing more weapons, more equipment and more ammunition than anyone else, but the Ukrainians are blowing through the ammo even faster than we can make it

Inside a sprawling factory just off the President Biden Expressway in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, the future arsenal of Ukraine’s war effort is being forged, one red hot artillery shell at a time.

Running full-tilt, as it was on a recent January morning, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant churns out roughly 11,000 artillery shells a month. That may seem like a lot, but the Ukrainian military often fires that many shells over just a few days.

In addition, the U.S. military actually gives the Ukrainians the specific coordinates where Russian targets are located so that the Ukrainians can fire rockets that we have provided to them at those targets…

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Ukraine is reliant on coordinates provided or confirmed by the US and its allies to launch strikes using the US-provided HIMARS rocket systems, a revelation that demonstrates Washington’s deep involvement in the war.

The HIMARS is a precision-guided artillery system, one that Ukraine has employed quite a bit in its fight against Russia. One example is a January 1 HIMARS strike on a facility housing Russian forces in Donetsk that killed at least 89 Russian soldiers, one of the deadliest Ukrainian attacks of the war.

Citing three unnamed Ukrainian officials and one unnamed US official, the Post reported that Ukraine also relies on the US for targeting coordinates for similar precision weapons, including the M270 Multiple-Launch Rocket System. One senior Ukrainian official said that Ukrainian forces almost never launch strikes using these weapons without coordinates provided by US military personnel that are located at a military base in a different country in Europe.

This is our war now.

No matter how much our politicians try to spin it, this has become a war between the United States and Russia.

And it appears that the Russians are preparing to take things to a whole new level.

Right now, very large concentrations of Russian troops are poised to come pouring into Ukraine from the north

Recently we had the first ever confirmation—with actual photographic evidence—of Russian force buildups on Ukraine’s border resembling those of pre-Feb. 2022. Here are satellite photos of one of them; there are reportedly such camps in Kursk and Voronezh regions, which are directly above Sumy and Kharkov oblasts of Ukraine.

To support those troops, the Russians are constructing “large field hospitals” near the Ukrainian border just like they did prior to the original invasion…

There are now several reports of large field hospitals being constructed in at least two different regions, again reminiscent of exactly what happened last time prior to the start of the SMO. And a senior lieutenant of the AFU stated that 10,000 Russian troops have amassed across the border from Sumy.

There are also very large concentrations of Russian troops in the south.

I expect that the Russians will soon formally declare war against Ukraine, and any pretense of playing nice will finally be discarded.

On the Ukrainian side, one official just made headlines all over the globe when he declared that “tanks will be parked on Moscow’s Red Square and that will be justice”

Kyiv’s security chief vowed that Ukraine’s ‘tanks will be parked on Moscow’s Red Square and that will be justice’ ahead of the first anniversary of Putin’s invasion.

Oleksiy Danilov, Kyiv’s National Security and Defence Council boss, called Vladimir Putin ‘Hitler’s twin’ as he reiterated Ukraine’s ambition to expel all Russian troops from its soil, including from Crimea which was annexed by Moscow in 2014.

I don’t know what sort of fantasy world he is living in, because the Russians would launch their nukes long before that ever happens.

If push comes to shove, Russia will resort to nuclear war.

Here in the western world, our “experts” keep assuring us that the Russians would never actually do that.

But the Russians keep making it very clear that they are quite serious about their threats…

Russia is attempting to use its nuclear threat to weaken international support for Ukraine, according to Kyiv intelligence.

The official Ukrainian Ministry of Defence reported via Telegram that Russia has started large-scale exercises involving its strategic nuclear forces, stationed for launch by air, land and sea, and put its units on the highest alert.

In my new book I explain why the U.S. is not at all prepared for a nuclear conflict with Russia.

But most Americans don’t care to listen to warnings from me or from anyone else about this.

Most Americans just assume that our leaders know exactly what they are doing and that everything is going to be just fine.

Once upon a time, Barack Obama warned that we should never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to mess things up.

Now we have reached a point where there is a very real possibility that Joe Biden could get the majority of the U.S. population killed in a cataclysmic war.

This isn’t going to end well, and I would urge you to prepare accordingly.

The Economic Nightmare That You Have Been Waiting For Is Here

A lot of people out there have been waiting for the next major economic crisis to arrive.  If you are one of them, you don’t have to wait any longer, because it is already here.  All of the numbers are telling us that we haven’t faced a downturn of this magnitude since 2008.  For example, the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now fallen for 10 months in a row.  According to Zero Hedge, this is the first time that has happened since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.  And just like we witnessed in 2008, the housing market is crashing.  In fact, the median price of a home in the San Francisco Bay Area has already fallen by a whopping 35 percent

The median price in the nine-county Bay Area plunged by another 8% in January from December, by 17% year-over-year, and by 35%, or by $540,000, in 10 months from the crazy peak in March 2022, from $1.54 million to $1.00 million, according to the California Association of Realtors.

Home prices in the Bay Area are plummeting even faster than they did during the first housing crash.

But don’t worry.

Joe Biden says that everything is just fine.

Of course the reality of the matter is that everything is not fine.  As bad as things are for residential real estate, the truth is that things are even worse for commercial real estate.

Earlier today, I came across an article that explained that one of the biggest landlords in Los Angeles just defaulted on 755 million dollars in loans…

Brookfield Corp., parent of the largest office landlord in downtown Los Angeles, is defaulting on loans tied to two buildings rather than refinancing the debt as demand for space weakens in the center of the second-largest US city.

The two properties in default, part of a portfolio called Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor, are the Gas Company Tower, with $465 million in loans, and the 777 Tower, with about $290 million in debt, according to a filing. The fund manager had warned in November that it may face foreclosure on properties.

Sadly, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

We stand on the brink of the most epic commercial real estate crash in the entire history of the United States, and it is absolutely going to devastate the financial community.

Meanwhile, the tsunami of layoffs that we have been witnessing just continues to intensify.  For instance, KPMG just announced that it will be laying off about 700 workers

Several financial firms have slashed jobs in recent months including major Wall Street banks, asset managers and fintechs amid a turbulent macroeconomic environment that has pressured consumers and soured demand in several mainstay business units.

The cuts at KPMG will affect close to 700 people, the FT report added.

And Docusign is already on their second round of layoffs

E-signature software company DocuSign on Thursday announced plans to cut around 10% of its workforce.

DocuSign had 7,461 employees in January 2022 before it announced an earlier round of layoffs last September that impacted 9% of its workforce. The company said the latest cuts will impact about 700 employees.

Even Apple is letting people go.  It is being reported that “hundreds of contractors” were suddenly given the axe last week…

NYPost said Apple fired hundreds of contractors last week. These workers are employed by outside companies but work alongside Apple employees on projects. It appears Apple is reducing headcount as the macroeconomic environment remains challenging.

If even an extremely wealthy company like Apple has decided that now is the time for mass layoffs, what does that say about the economic outlook for the rest of 2023?

In 2022, we witnessed a wave of layoffs in the tech industry that was unlike anything we have seen since the Great Recession.

And so far this year, we are way, way ahead of last year’s pace

The news comes after 1,045 tech companies last year fired 161,000 employees in 2022. So far this year, 380 companies have fired 108,000 workers, according to the jobs tracking website Layoffs.fyi.

Does anyone out there still want to try to argue that the economy is in “good shape”?

Look, if the economy really is in “good shape”, then why is Walmart closing down more stores?

Walmart has confirmed it is shutting down seven stores over profitability concerns after a “thorough review process.”

Walmart confirmed the closure of five locations across three states to Nexstar last week. Among those was a store in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that was described as “underperforming” in a statement to Nexstar’s KRQE.

Other impacted locations included a store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and three in the Chicago area. Nexstar’s WGN reports two of the stores in Chicago did not meet financial expectations.

Walmart can see what is coming.

So can Apple.

So can hundreds of other major corporations that have been “downsizing” in recent weeks.

Everyone is battening down the hatches because we are entering a really bad storm.

Of course not everyone is hurting.

If you are in the top 10 percent of all income earners, you may still be doing quite well.

For now.

But at this point the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us is larger than ever, and most of the population is just trying to find a way to survive from month to month.

Once upon a time, the U.S. had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world, but now our landscape is littered with dollar stores because such stores are some of the only places where our vast throngs of poor people can afford to shop…

A small town in eastern Kentucky has an unusual claim to fame: with a population of just 1,424, it has six dollar stores, most of them built in the past few years.

Olive Hill, a quiet hamlet situated on Tygarts Creek in the Appalachian foothills, has two Family Dollar locations and four Dollar General stores in and immediately surrounding the town.

All but one of them are located along Tom T. Hall Boulevard, the town’s main drag, named after Olive Hill’s most famous native, the country singer and songwriter nicknamed ‘The Storyteller’.

I have been warning that a nightmarish economic meltdown was coming for a long time.

Now it is here.

And it is going to get a lot worse.

The good news, if you want to call it that, is that we are still only in the very early chapters of this crisis.

So I would encourage you to do what you need to do, because things are only going to get rougher from here.

A Cover Up Of Epic Proportions Is Happening In East Palestine, Ohio

If you want a perfect example of how corrupt our system of government has become, just look at the massive cover up that is going on in East Palestine, Ohio right now.  Federal, state and local officials are telling the public that everything is just fine when everything is obviously not just fine.  On February 3rd, a 50 car Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine.  5 of the cars were carrying vinyl chloride which is an extremely hazardous substance that has been proven to cause several types of cancer.  Unfortunately, with the approval of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a decision was made on February 6th to conduct a “controlled burn” of the wreckage.  They knew that burning the vinyl chloride would create vast amounts of phosgene gas.  By now, most of you already know that phosgene gas was actually used as a chemical weapon in World War I.  The cloud of toxic chemicals that was created by the “controlled burn” was so large that it could literally be seen from space, and the long-term health problems that are being caused all over the east coast could stretch on for decades.

But Ohio Governor Mike Dewine doesn’t want to be blamed.

He is telling everyone from East Palestine to go back to their homes, and he insists that the water in the area is “safe to drink”

Do you believe him?

For those that are gullible enough to believe him, I have just one question for you…

Does this water look safe to drink to you?

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance wanted to see this for himself.

So he went down to a local creek in East Palestine, and this is what he discovered

Sadly, it isn’t just the water in East Palestine that has been polluted.

50 miles away in Pittsburgh, the water is exhibiting similar qualities

But the head of the Environmental Protection Agency says that there is nothing to be concerned about at all.

In fact, he says that he would actually “allow his own children to drink and bathe in public water” from East Palestine…

The head of the US Environmental Protection Agency has said he would allow his own children to drink and bathe in public water near the site of a train derailment and chemical spill in Ohio, so long as it had been tested and deemed safe by officials.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited the site of the East Palestine derailment on Thursday, seeking to reassure skeptical residents that the water is fit for drinking and the air is safe to breathe.

Nobody wants to see your children do that Michael Regan.

But we would love to see you down a tall, cool glass of tap water from a home right in the middle of East Palestine.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration is going to work relentlessly to downplay the severity of this crisis because they know that if they admitted the truth it would make them look bad to the voters.

And there is a presidential election coming up in less than two years.

Incredibly, the White House has even turned down a formal request for disaster relief for East Palestine…

The White House explained why it turned down Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s request for disaster relief this week in the aftermath of a derailment of a train hauling toxic chemicals.

A Biden administration official told Fox News Digital that it has provided extensive assistance to surrounding communities following the chemical release earlier this month in eastern Ohio. However, the official said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the agency that usually provides relief to communities hit by hurricanes and other natural disasters, isn’t best equipped to support the state’s current needs.

I was floored when I saw that.

We have just witnessed one of the greatest environmental disasters in the entire history of our country, and the Biden administration is not even willing to grant a request for disaster relief?

Ultimately, this is all about protecting the asses of the politicians and protecting the asses of the executives and shareholders of Norfolk Southern.

To the elite, it really doesn’t matter if the poor people of East Palestine all get cancer and die.

What matters is controlling the narrative, and up to this point the corporate media is doing a wonderful job of helping them do it.

As The Economy Implodes, Credit Card Balances Are Increasing At The Fastest Pace In U.S. History

When the going gets tough, it can be extremely tempting to pile on debt as a solution.  The cost of living is rising much faster than most of our paychecks are, and this is putting an enormous amount of financial stress on hard working Americans.  But rather than cutting back on spending, a lot of people are choosing to deal with that financial stress by going into more debt.  In fact, we just learned that U.S. household debt reached an all-time record high of 16.9 trillion dollars last quarter…

Total US household debt hit a record $16.9 trillion during the fourth quarter, an increase of $394 billion, or 2.4%, from the prior three-month period, according to the Fed’s latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit. While the lion’s share of the debt is attributable to mortgages, the report showed that not only are credit card balances swelling at record levels, delinquencies are on the rise as well.

In particular, Americans are turning to credit card debt like never before.

According to CNN, in the fourth quarter credit card debt in the United States increased at the fastest pace ever recorded…

Credit card balances increased nearly 6.6% to $986 billion during the quarter, the highest quarterly growth on record, according to New York Fed data that goes back to 1999. Year over year, credit card balances grew 15.2%.

This is not a good idea.

When the economy is slowing down, going deeper into debt is one of the worst financial mistakes that you can make.

But millions of Americans are doing it anyway.

It is inevitable that lots of them will ultimately get behind on their payments, and the latest numbers show that this is already starting to happen

The share of credit card users making payments that were at least 30 days late, also known as early delinquencies, rose last quarter to 5.9% from 5.2% in the prior quarter. The share of serious credit card delinquencies, which represents payments that are 90 or more days late, rose to 4% last quarter from 3.7% in the prior quarter.

The New York Fed is telling us that a whopping 18.3 million Americans were behind on their credit card payments at the end of 2022.

At the end of 2019, that number was sitting at just 15.8 million.

Things are definitely moving in a very troubling direction.

Unfortunately, many Americans have little choice at this point.  Approximately two-thirds of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, and now a lot of us are being swamped by bills that we simply cannot afford to pay.

For example, one homeowner in California was absolutely horrified when he was hit by a $907.13 utility bill

Brent Eldridge had heard that prices for natural gas were high this winter, but nothing prepared him for how bad it could be.

When he opened the envelope from Long Beach’s utility department, he couldn’t believe the total: $907.13, nearly eight times higher than his bill at the same time last year.

“It made me want to puke,” said Eldridge, 48, a pastor.

Millions of others are being slammed by similar bills this winter.

Meanwhile, the price of food continues to soar to ridiculous heights.

Sadly, food prices will not be returning to where they once were, and so we are being told that the solution is to literally eat less food.  Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal actually posted an article entitled “To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast”.

This is where we are at.

The reckless policies of our leaders created this inflation crisis, and we are all suffering as a result.

Now central banks all over the globe are raising interest rates in a desperate attempt to get inflation under control, and that threatens to burst the greatest debt bubble in the entire history of the human race

Debt is vital to the functioning of the world economy. But, after soaring in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic of recent years, it has reached unprecedented levels: as of last June, total debt amounted to $300 trillion, or 349% of world GDP. With negative supply shocks persisting, and the world’s major central banks scrambling to rein in inflation, debt risks are becoming increasingly alarming.

As New York University’s Nouriel Roubini explains, “The explosion of unsustainable debt ratios [in recent decades] implied that many borrowers – households, corporations, banks, shadow banks, governments, and even entire countries – were insolvent ‘zombies’ that were being propped up by low interest rates (which kept their debt-servicing costs manageable).” Inflation’s return ended this “financial Dawn of the Dead,” and together with low growth, is propelling us toward “the mother of all stagflationary debt crises.”

Higher interest rates are going to seriously slow down economic activity, and there are all sorts of signs that this is already beginning to happen.

On Thursday, we learned that U.S. home construction has fallen to the lowest level that we have seen since the early days of the COVID pandemic

New U.S. home construction slumped again in January to the lowest level since 2020 as elevated mortgage rates combined with pervasive inflation continued to cool demand.

Housing starts slid 4.5% last month to an annual rate of 1.31 million units, according to new Commerce Department data released on Thursday. That is below Refinitiv economists’ forecast for a pace of 1.35 million units.

In the months ahead, the U.S. housing market will continue to crash.

And the tsunami of layoffs that we have been witnessing will get a whole lot worse.

Those that are running things are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If they quit raising interest rates, inflation could potentially spiral out of control.

But if they keep raising interest rates, the economy will continue to implode.

Which option will they choose?

So many of the long-term economic trends that we have been warned about are now coming to fruition.

There has never been more debt in the world than there is right now, and the entire global system is starting to buckle.

We get to be here for the grand conclusion of this mess, and it isn’t going to be pleasant.

The West Will Need To Use Either Nukes Or NATO Troops To Stop The Russian Advances In Ukraine

The new Russian offensive appears to have begun, and in recent days the Russians have been steadily gaining ground in several key areas of eastern Ukraine.  Things seem to be going particularly well for the Russians in the northern part of eastern Ukraine.  A breakthrough seems to be developing, and it is being reported that the Ukrainians are preparing to establish “a new line of defense outside Kharkiv”.  The Russians have clearly gained the upper hand in the conflict, and that has extremely serious implications.

Prior to these new advances, the conflict in Ukraine had mostly been an artillery duel for several months.

And even though the western powers have been trying to provide the Ukrainians with sufficient ammunition, the Russians have been able to fire far more rounds each day…

Ukraine’s armed forces are firing some 6,000 artillery shells a day, far faster than their Western allies can resupply them.

Russia is using as much as 20,000 rounds a day, equivalent to what European factories can produce in a month.

Some experts claim that the disparity between the two sides is even larger.

In any event, everyone agrees that the Ukrainians are hurting for ammo while the Russians just continue to relentlessly pound them.

And now we are learning that the Biden administration has decided not to send Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine because the U.S. military “is concerned it wouldn’t have enough for itself”

The Biden administration has given its Ukrainian counterparts another reason for not sending them much-wanted long-range missiles: The U.S. is concerned it wouldn’t have enough for itself.

In recent meetings at the Pentagon, U.S. officials told Kyiv’s representatives that it doesn’t have any Army Tactical Missile Systems to spare, according to four people with knowledge of the talks. Transferring ATACMS to the battlefield in eastern Europe would dwindle America’s stockpiles and harm the U.S. military’s readiness for a future fight, the people said.

Ukraine has put up a stiff fight, but now the writing is on the wall.

The original Ukrainian Army that existed at the beginning of the war is almost totally gone at this point.

The Ukrainians were able to replace them with an even bigger force by literally dragging Ukrainian men off the street and by hiring vast throngs of foreign mercenaries.

And I will give you just one guess as to where the money to pay for all of those mercenaries came from.

At this point, Ukraine is running out of men to forcibly recruit, and they are also running out of foreign mercenaries stupid enough to be sent to the meat grinder in eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the Russians have gathered a force that is far larger than they originally used to invade Ukraine.

So the tide has turned, and at this point even mainstream news outlets in the U.S. are starting to grudgingly admit that “Russia is winning”

USA Today raised some eyebrows when it deviated from the usual narrative by acknowledging “little by little” Russia is winning the ground war in a pivotal area of Ukraine, citing a quote given by a pro-Ukraine spokeswoman.

The admission was in relation to the battle for the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.

Sending Ukraine a few dozen tanks is not going to help.

If the western powers intend to be victorious in Ukraine, they will either need to commit NATO troops, or they will have to use tactical nukes against Russians troops in eastern Ukraine.

Of course either option will almost certainly mean full-blown nuclear war.

Needless to say, we are already dangerously close to nuclear annihilation.  After the world learned that it was actually the Biden administration that blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, the Russians decided to send a message by flying four military aircraft off the coast of Alaska

Four Russian aircraft were detected and intercepted over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone on Monday in what NORAD called a “routine” incident.

Two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched by NORAD to intercept the Russian aircraft, which included a TU-95 BEARH-H and SU-35 fighter jet.

And by the way, the Chinese also just sent us a message by sending ships and aircraft alarmingly close to Taiwan

Nearly two dozen Chinese military aircrafts and ships were seen in the Taiwan Strait on Monday morning.

According to the country’s defense ministry, there were 18 Chinese army aircrafts and four ships spotted – 11 of which crossed the median line of the contended buffer zone.

This comes amid heightened tension in the region – after the US shot down a 200ft Chinese spy balloon that was caught flying across Montana.

None of this had to happen.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration has made a series of colossal errors over the past two years, and now we stand on the brink of the unthinkable.

Just recently, a French historian made headlines all over the globe when he declared that a new “world war” has started…

A French historian who accurately predicted the fall of the Soviet Union over a decade in advance says that World War III has already begun as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.

The comments were made by Emmanuel Todd, one of France’s leading intellectuals, during an interview with the Le Figaro newspaper.

“It is evident that the conflict, initially a limited territorial war, has evolved into a global economic confrontation between the whole West on one side, and Russia, backed by China, on the other. It has become a world war,” Todd said.

Welcome to the party pal.

I told my readers that World War III had begun last February.

Thankfully, the nukes have not started flying yet.

Because once the nukes start flying, “hundreds of millions of people” will die…

Research by Rutgers University experts published in August suggests even a limited nuclear war could trigger global starvation of hundreds of millions of people.

Fatalities arising from nuclear winter effects over the months after the war would lead to casualty numbers many times greater than those suffered in the more immediate blast, heat, fires and radiation, it claims.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration is not going to change course.

Even though we were warned that all of this was coming in advance, the Biden administration refuses to listen to warnings from people like us.

So the warmongers in the Biden administration are just going to continue to escalate matters with both Russia and China.

This isn’t going to end well, but most of you already knew that.

Global Food Inflation Is Leading To A Frightening Explosion In Global Hunger

We are currently facing “the worst food crisis in modern history”, and it seems to be getting worse with each passing month.  I don’t have to tell any of you that food prices are a lot higher than they once were.  The last time you went to the grocery store you could see that for yourself.  Sadly, this is happening all over the world, and the poorest countries are being hit the hardest.  Meanwhile, global food supplies just continue to get tighter and tighter.  As a result, global hunger is on the rise.  If you doubt this, I would like for you to read an excerpt that comes directly from a joint statement by the heads of the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group, the World Food Program and the World Trade Organization…

Globally, poverty and food insecurity are both on the rise after decades of development gains. Supply chain disruptions, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, financial tightening through rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine have caused an unprecedented shock to the global food system, with the most vulnerable hit the hardest. Food inflation remains high in the world, with dozens of countries experiencing double digit inflation. According to WFP, 349 million people across 79 countries are acutely food insecure. The prevalence of undernourishment is also on the rise, following three years of deterioration. This situation is expected to worsen, with global food supplies projected to drop to a three-year low in 2022/2023.[1] The need is especially dire in 24 countries that FAO and WFP have identified as hunger hotspots, of which 16 are in Africa.[2]

Please take a few moments and read that paragraph again.

We really are facing “an unprecedented shock to the global food system”, and these global leaders really are telling us that the situation “is expected to worsen”.

At this point, things are so bad that even CNN is admitting that we are currently experiencing “the worst food crisis in modern history”…

Yet the world is still in the grips of the worst food crisis in modern history, as Russia’s war in Ukraine shakes global agricultural systems already grappling with the effects of extreme weather and the pandemic. Market conditions may have improved in recent months, but experts do not expect imminent relief.

That means more pain for vulnerable communities already struggling with hunger. It also boosts the risk of starvation and famine in countries such as Somalia, which is contending with what the United Nations describes as a “catastrophic” food emergency.

So what happens if some “black swan events” come along in 2023 and make the global food crisis far worse than it already is?

In some of the poorest countries on the planet there are already vast numbers of people without enough food to eat.

For example, in Somalia almost half of the entire population is in need of “immediate lifesaving aid”

Somalia is in the midst of the longest and most severe drought in its history, following five consecutive poor rainy seasons, which has devastated the country.

Roughly 8.25 million people, nearly half the population, require immediate lifesaving aid and protection.

Sadly, the truth is that this is just the beginning.  In my latest book, I explain exactly why conditions will inevitably get a whole lot worse no matter what our leaders do now.

Here in the United States, nobody is in danger of starving to death at this stage.

But prices just continue to escalate.  In fact, the new inflation numbers that we got from the government on Tuesday were not good news at all

Republican lawmakers slammed President Biden after the latest inflation report, with one saying the president is “living in an alternate reality.”

The congressional Republicans ripped into Biden on Tuesday after the latest inflation report that saw prices rise by 0.5 points to a 6.4 percent rate in January.

“Just last week Joe Biden took a victory lap on the economy, but today’s report confirms he’s living in an alternate reality than Americans watching prices get higher by the day,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.

Even though the Federal Reserve has aggressively hiked interest rates, inflation has not been tamed.

In particular, food prices just continue to go up and up.  Earlier today, Jacki Kotkiewicz posted some numbers on her Twitter account that show how dramatically prices in certain key categories have risen over the past year…

Overall CPI: +6.4% y/y
Fuel Oil: +27.7%
Electricity: +11.9%
Groceries: +11.3%
Chicken +10.5%
Milk: +11%
Eggs: +70.1%
Bread: +14.9%
Potatoes: +12.4%
Baby Food: +10%
Airline Fares: +25.6%
Real Average Hourly Earnings: -1.8%

When I go to the grocery store now, there are some things that I simply will not buy unless they are on sale.

Even the price of butter is going up.  The last time I was in the grocery store, I spent nearly 30 dollars just on butter.

Can you believe that?

Unfortunately, we all have to adapt to this new reality.  The cost of living has become extremely oppressive, and at this point close to two-thirds of the entire nation is living paycheck to paycheck

Rising prices have weakened consumers’ spending power, as inflation remains elevated and the Federal Reserve continues to tighten its monetary policies. Against the backdrop of recession risk and growing macroeconomic uncertainty, a higher number of Americans at all income levels are now living paycheck-to-paycheck.

In a report by PYMNTS in collaboration with LendingClub it was found that 64% of U.S. wage earners are currently living paycheck-to-paycheck. Even those that earn $100,000 or more per year are feeling the financial pinch as prices continue to climb and interest rates remain high.

As I end this article, there are a couple of things that I think that it is imperative for all of us to understand.

Number one, we were all warned that this crisis was coming.

Number two, eventually this crisis is going to get a whole lot worse.

We are only in the very early chapters of this nightmare, and much more pain is ahead.

So I would urge you to act accordingly, because the global food crisis is only going to intensify from this point forward.

Why Is The Mainstream Media Being So Quiet About One Of The Greatest Environmental Catastrophes In U.S. History?

The mainstream media spends an enormous amount of time lecturing us about fake environmental issues, but now that one of the greatest environmental catastrophes in U.S. history has occurred they are being strangely quiet about it.  What we are witnessing in East Palestine, Ohio is so horrifying that it is truly difficult to put it into words.  One hazardous materials specialist is claiming that authorities “basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open”.  Unfortunately, that is not an exaggeration at all.  When they decided to conduct a “controlled burn” of vinyl chloride from some of the wrecked rail cars, they knew that it would “send phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air”

About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash in East Palestine at about 9pm on Friday, February 3.

Houses were evacuated after vinyl chloride was slowly released from five of those cars. Authorities then ignited the gases for a ‘controlled release’ of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke.

Officials warned the controlled burn would send phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air. Phosgene is a highly toxic, colorless gas with a strong odor that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble and was used as a weapon in World War I.

Read that last sentence again.

Phosgene was literally used as a chemical weapon during World War I, and now countless people living in Ohio and Pennsylvania will be breathing it in for the foreseeable future.

In essence, we have unleashed a weapon of mass destruction on our own people.

It turns out that vinyl chloride has also been proven to cause “increased risk of liver cancer and other cancers”

Vinyl chloride is associated with increased risk of liver cancer and other cancers, according to the federal government’s National Cancer Institute.

The effect was studied in PVC pipe makers, who breathed in vinyl chloride and developed rare liver cancers, said Ruth Lunn, who studies carcinogens at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

So how many people are ultimately going to get cancer and die because of this disaster?

On top of everything else, we are now being told that “ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate and isobutylene” were also being transported in some of the rail cars that derailed

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating that ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate and isobutylene were also in the rail cars that were derailed, breached and/or on fire.

Caggiano says ethylhexyl acrylate is especially worrisome. He says it’s a carcinogen and contact with it can cause burning and irritation in the skin and eyes. Breathing it in can irritate the nose and throat and cause coughing and shortness of breath.

Nobody should be anywhere near this wreck.

But authorities are telling residents of East Palestine that it is perfectly safe to return to their homes and that there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

A massive cover up of epic proportions is in progress, and only a few brave leaders such as Marjorie Taylor Greene are speaking out about this…

Perhaps they think that because most of the people that live in East Palestine are poor they can get away with treating them like dirt.

And that may have worked in the past.

But now we live in the age of social media, and a lot of Americans want to make sure that this catastrophe will never be forgotten.

Because the truth is that these chemicals are going to be affecting the health of local residents for decades.

One hazardous materials specialist raised a lot of eyebrows when he said that authorities “basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open”

Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist and former fire department chief, said he was ‘surprised’ residents were allowed to return home so quickly before all of their homes were tested.

‘I would’ve far rather they did all the testing [first],’ he said. ‘There’s a lot of what ifs, and we’re going to be looking at this thing 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the line and wondering, ‘Gee, cancer clusters could pop up, you know, well water could go bad.’

He added: ‘We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open.’

So many people are going to die because of this.

And it is being reported that large numbers of chickens and fish have already died after being exposed to the chemicals…

CBS Pittsburgh reported that hundreds of fish have turned up dead in Leslie Run, approximately five miles away from the site of the derailment. While the EPA has acknowledged that fish are dying, it stressed that well water remains safe to drink.

Amanda Breshears, who lives 10 miles away from East Palestine, said upon going to feed her hens and rooster days after the derailment, she found them all lifeless.

“My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died,” she told WKBN. “If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it’s going to do to us in 20 years.”

What a nightmare.

And this nightmare is not going to end any time soon.

Shockingly, a movie about this exact type of disaster in this exact area of Ohio was released late last year

Pretty crazy, eh?

Sometimes it feels like we are actually living in a movie.

As I keep telling people, we are now living in a time when we will be facing one major disaster after another.

Global events are starting to spin out of control, and there is so much chaos all around us.

Unfortunately, what we have been through so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

Actually, Hordes Of Highly Sophisticated Unidentified Aircraft Have Been Flying Over U.S. Territory

Things are starting to get really strange.  First, a “Chinese spy balloon” was shot down off the coast of South Carolina after it had traveled across much of the continental United States.  Then, another “unidentified object” was shot down over Alaska.  Subsequently, at the request of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a third “unidentified object” was shot down over Canada.  And now we have just learned that a fourth “unidentified object” has been shot down over Lake Huron.  In addition, a congressman from Montana is reporting that there is an “unidentified object” flying over his state.  On top of everything else, China is telling us that an “unidentified object” has been flying near the Chinese port city of Qingdao.  All of a sudden, these sightings have become the biggest news story in the entire country, and I think that it is likely that there will be even more sightings in the days ahead.

But let’s put all of this into perspective.

The only reason why most people are freaking out about this story is because the mainstream media is freaking out about this story.

If the mainstream media was ignoring this story, they would also be ignoring this story.

We have been trained to believe that a story is important only when the mainstream media tells us that it is important.

If millions of Americans want to get excited about some balloons, that is fine.

I will get excited with them.

But the truth is that hordes of highly sophisticated unidentified aircraft have been flying over U.S. territory for years.

Let me give you some examples.  Starting in December 2019, large groups of “unidentified drones” were repeatedly spotted flying over northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska

A formation of unidentified drones, some in groups of 30, have been reported flying high above a corner of rural northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska, usually from 7 to 10 p.m. By some accounts, the drones have wingspans of 6 feet or more.

“They can sit there and hover. They can descend very fast. They can take off very fast,” Wyatt Harman, who chased the drones as they flew above his land in Washington County, Colorado, told the “TODAY” show.

He and his girlfriend, Chelsea Arnold, said they pursued the lights for about 15 miles, driving as fast as 70 mph.

These drones were very large and could fly at extremely high speeds.

Pretty soon, there were also sightings in Kansas.  At the time, multiple witnesses reported seeing formations of up to 50 drones flying in very precise “grid formations”

Meanwhile, neighbouring Nebraska and Kansas were also dealing with their own mysterious drone swarms. From December 2019 to January 2020, residents of the three states were perturbed by multiple sightings of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with wingspans of up to 6ft flying between 6pm and 10pm in grid formations. On the same night that Iovinella was receiving calls, a Nebraska deputy reported seeing 30 to 50 drones in the sky. Witnesses were alarmed by the size and speed of the vehicles. “It got to the point that we were fixing to take up arms,” says Mike, 39, from Lindon, Colorado, who wishes to retain partial anonymity.

To me, a large fleet of highly sophisticated drones flying at very high speed is a lot more alarming than a few high altitude balloons.

Quite frequently, unidentified drones appear to be very interested in national security targets of a highly sensitive nature.  In fact, from March 2018 to April 2021, there were “four reports of unidentified airborne vehicle intrusions at sensitive U.S. government nuclear laboratories”…

Freedom of Information Act requests by the Washington Examiner have returned four reports of unidentified airborne vehicle intrusions at sensitive U.S. government nuclear laboratories between March 2018 and April 2021. In each case, security officers failed to identify the operator of these apparent vehicles or their intent.

U.S. military bases and ships that belong to the U.S. Navy are also common targets.  For example, last year footage of a very alarming incident in which a drone swarm flew very close to the USS Zumwalt in April 2019 was released to the public

New footage from the U.S. Navy shows a drone swarm of unknown origin flying over the USS Zumwalt, a highly sensitive “stealth destroyer” in the waters off California in April 2019.

The video, obtained by The War Zone via the Freedom of Information Act, features a sailor describing a set of lights from six drones above the USS Zumwalt as he filmed the encounter

Of course that was not just an isolated incident.

According to an “interim report” that was released in June 2022, there were 144 incidents of unidentified aircraft flying near U.S. military targets over a period of 17 years…

Sightings of what appear to be aircraft flying without discernible means of propulsion have been reported near military bases and coastlines, raising the prospect that witnesses have spotted undiscovered or secret Chinese or Russian technology.

An interim report released by US intelligence officials last year counted 144 sightings of aircraft or other devices apparently flying at mysterious speeds or trajectories. In all but one of the sightings investigated, there was too little information for investigators to even broadly characterise the nature of the incident.

But that wasn’t the end of the story.

Many more incidents were later added to that report, and ultimately the grand total reached a whopping 510 incidents

The March 2021 date represents the end of a preliminary assessment period by ODNI that spanned 17 years, during which there were 144 UAP reports. Since that date, another 119 incidents that took place before March 2021 but weren’t included in the preliminary assessment were also reported — bringing the total number of reports to 510 as of late August 2022.

So I am glad that there is finally an uproar about the lack of security in the skies above our heads.

Because vast hordes of drones have been regularly violating U.S. air space for a long time.

And in case you are wondering, yes, drones can deliver weapons of mass destruction.

Unfortunately, our leaders continue to move us even closer to cataclysmic conflicts with both Russia and China, and the death and destruction that such conflicts could cause would be unimaginable.

So let us hope that our leaders will decide to reverse course and start pressing for peace while it is still possible to do so.

Because if we stay on the path that we are on, eventually someone will make a mistake that will not be able to be erased, and then millions upon millions of people will die.
