Is Joe Biden About To Impose Destructive New Restrictions On The U.S. Economy In Order To Fight Omicron?

December 19, 2021 by Michael

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were told that a new variant called “Omicron” had been discovered in southern Africa. Now it is being reported that Omicron is suddenly spreading like wildfire all over North America and Europe, and we are being told that a very “dark winter” is ahead of us. Of course whenever case numbers start rising again, the Biden administration feels as though it must do something. So on Tuesday, Joe Biden is going to deliver another “major address” to the nation. Unfortunately, many are anticipating that he may introduce more destructive restrictions which could significantly damage the U.S. economy as we head into 2022.

When it comes to the pandemic, we all know that Biden listens to the “scientists”, and right now the “scientists” are scaring the living daylights out of the general public.

For example, over the weekend Dr. Television warned that Omicron will soon put severe stress on hospital systems all across America…

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Sunday that the next few weeks will put severe stress on hospital systems as the omicron variant of the coronavirus is “raging around the world.”

Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there is no doubt about the omicron variant’s “extraordinary capability” for transmission. Although the latest mutation appears to cause less severe symptoms in vaccinated people, Fauci warned that its transmissibility counteracts the mildness of the cases.

And the director of the NIH has suggested that the U.S. could soon see a million cases a day…

Outgoing National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Dr. Francis Collins says the US could see one million COVID-19 cases per day as new shapeshifting variants take hold and cases snowball.

Collins’ forecast comes as the highly-contagious Omicron iteration spreads like wildfire throughout the nation and the Delta variant continues to sicken masses of people ahead of the winter holidays.

It is completely and utterly irresponsible for Collins to say something like that, and all such similar projections have been totally inaccurate in the past.

But Joe Biden believes these guys, and so even though there has only been one documented death from Omicron anywhere in the world, Biden appears poised to take this crisis to an entirely new level…

President Joe Biden will deliver a speech Tuesday to address the omicron variant and unveil new steps the administration is taking to help communities in need of assistance, a White House official told NBC News on Saturday.

Biden is expected to go beyond his already unveiled “winter plan” with additional measures while “issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for Americans that choose to remain unvaccinated,” the official said.

Right now, we don’t know exactly what those “new steps” will look like, but there is a lot of speculation that they could include new mandates and/or restrictions.

Unfortunately for Biden, he is deeply failing as a leader, and at this point the vast majority of Americans simply do not trust him…

According to the CNN poll conducted by SSRS, 66 percent of Americans said they doubted whether Biden was “a leader you can trust,” a number that included 92 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents and 36 percent of Democrats.

Just about everything that Biden has done during his time in the White House has turned out badly, and a whole lot of people out there are going to be really angry if he decides to do even more to mess up our economy.

Thanks to our “leaders” in Washington, inflation is completely out of control and we are now facing the worst supply chain crisis in our entire history.

In an excellent article that he just published, James Rickards explained how complex and how vulnerable our global supply chains have become…

You know your iPhone comes from China. Did you know that the specialized glass used in the iPhone comes from South Korea? Did you know the semiconductors in the iPhone come from Taiwan? That the intellectual property and design of the iPhone are from California?

The iPhone includes flash storage from Japan, gyroscopes from Germany, audio amplifiers, battery chargers, display port multiplexers, batteries, cameras and hundreds of other advanced parts.

In total, Apple works with suppliers in 43 countries on six continents to source the materials and parts that go into an iPhone. That’s a quick overview of the iPhone supply chain. Of course, every supplier in that supply chain has its own supply chain of sources and processes. Again, supply chains are immensely complex.

Our way of life depends on the smooth operation of thousands upon thousands of immensely complex supply chains. Unfortunately, restrictions and mandates that have been implemented by politicians all over the planet have caused massive problems for those supply chains, and now politicians all over the planet are imposing even more restrictions and mandates to combat the Omicron variant.

Because of this insanity, it looks like 2022 is going to be a very rough year for the global economy.

Of course all of the mandates and restrictions have also taken a great toll on our mental health…

As Americans head into a third year of pandemic living, therapists around the country are finding themselves on the front lines of a mental health crisis. Social workers, psychologists and counselors from every state say they can’t keep up with an unrelenting demand for their services, and many must turn away patients — including children — who are desperate for support.

“All the therapists I know have experienced a demand for therapy that is like nothing they have experienced before,” said Tom Lachiusa, a licensed clinical social worker in Longmeadow, Mass. “Every available time slot I can offer is filled.”

Ultimately, many would argue that the global response to the pandemic has been far more destructive than the virus itself.

And if we can’t handle a crisis of this magnitude, how are we possibly going to be able to handle something far more severe?

COVID has filled our leaders with great fear, and being fearful is never a way to handle a crisis.

Now it appears that fear is about to push Biden to make even more mistakes, and that is extremely unfortunate.

7 Signs That War With Russia Just Got Even Closer

December 16, 2021December 16, 2021 by Michael

In this article I am going to write about something that the vast majority of the U.S. population couldn’t care less about. Sadly, most Americans simply do not care about Ukraine, Russia’s military preparations for war, or pretty much anything else that is happening on the other side of the globe. But over in Russia, things are completely different. There is constant talk about the potential for war with the west, and there is a lot of pessimism that it will be able to be avoided.

To the Russians, this really is the biggest crisis with the west since the Cuban missile crisis of the 1960s. The Russians have repeatedly warned that western missiles must not be stationed in Ukraine, and they have repeatedly warned that Ukraine must not become a member of NATO.

They are using the same rationale that we used during the Cuban missile crisis. We didn’t want the Russians to have missiles in Cuba that could potentially hit our major cities within just a matter of a few minutes, and likewise the Russians don’t want missiles in Ukraine that could potentially hit their major cities within just a matter of a few minutes.

The only way that Vladimir Putin will ever authorize an invasion of Ukraine is if one of his strategic “red lines” is crossed.

But instead of easing tensions and trying to talk things out, western leaders just keep provoking Russia.

If they keep on recklessly poking the bear, at some point a mistake will be made and we will have a war that nobody wants. The following are 7 signs that war with Russia just got even closer…

#1 Despite the fact that Vladimir Putin has said that such a move would cross one of his “red lines”, Ukraine was just told that it will eventually be allowed to join NATO…

Facing a building threat from Russia, Ukraine’s president sought security guarantees from NATO’s chief in a meeting on Thursday and came away with a renewed commitment that his country could eventually join the military alliance despite stiff objections from its Russian neighbors.

#2 Ukraine has shocked the world by opening up the bomb shelters in Kiev…

Ukraine has opened bomb shelters in the capital of the nation as fears of a Russian invasion soar. On Wednesday a Ukrainian minister and former top spy warned the conflict could spread globally.

#3 ABC’s Martha Raddatz is reporting that after Joe Biden’s recent call with Vladimir Putin, the Russians moved an additional 10,000 troops to the border with Ukraine.

#4 The EU is warning of “massive costs for Russia” if there is any more “aggression” toward Ukraine…

“At this point in time, Russia is choosing an aggressive posture vis-à-vis its neighbors. And as the European Union and its G-7 partners have made very clear, further aggressive acts against Ukraine will have massive costs for Russia,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday.

#5 Banks in Belarus are preparing to switch to Russia’s version of SWIFT due to imminent sanctions by the west…

Belarusian banks are preparing for tougher Western sanctions by signing up to Russia’s alternative to the SWIFT, the international financial messaging network that underpins the global banking system, Russia’s Moskovsky Komsomolets tabloid has reported.

Russia’s System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) has more than 400 domestic users — practically every licensed Russian lender — but is used by only 38 banks from nine other countries. Developed in 2014, SPFS is designed to keep banking transactions in the event of Western sanctions disconnecting Russia from SWIFT.

#6 It is being reported that Russia “has begun to move Tor short-range surface-to-air missile systems to the border area with Ukraine.”

#7 A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators wants to formally designate Russia as a “terrorist state”. Needless to say, the Russians are not happy about this…

On top of that – as if all that were not incendiary enough – the US Senators want to designate Russia a “terrorist state” if its “forces further invade Ukraine”. Such a designation of a nuclear superpower is unprecedented. It is an insane move that would make diplomacy and negotiation all but impossible. It’s tantamount to declaring war.

We should want to try to find a way to have peace with Russia, but we just keep on moving closer to war.

And when war eventually comes, it may be global.

Most Americans don’t realize this, but Russia and China just announced a brand new “security alliance”…

On Wednesday it was announced that Russia and China had agreed to terms on a security alliance.

President Xi said regarding the deal: “At present, certain international forces under the guise of ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ are interfering in the internal affairs of China and Russia and brutally trampling on international law and recognised norms of international relations.”

So could the U.S. find itself fighting both Russia and China at the same time someday?

Yes, that is entirely possible.

Meanwhile, European powers are warning that talks to revive the Iranian nuclear deal “are rapidly reaching the end of the road”…

A joint statement from Britain, France and Germany issued on Tuesday said “we are rapidly reaching the end of the road” to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal after the Iranian side accused the West of stoking a “blame game” atmosphere.

“Iran’s continued nuclear escalation means that we are rapidly reaching the end of the road,” France’s ambassador to the United Nations, Nicolas de Riviere, announced. He added that Iran’s consistently blowing past development and uranium enrichment limits all while blaming the US for pulling out of the deal means “We are nearing the point where Iran’s escalation of its nuclear program will have completely hollowed out the JCPOA.”

The Israelis have already been practicing for an attack on Iran, and if peace talks collapse it will make a conflict between Israel and Iran inevitable.

Of course a new war in the Middle East would give the Biden administration a way to distract us from our growing internal troubles. At this point, only 26 percent of Americans believe that the country is headed in the right direction…

A new Economist/YouGov Poll shows almost 75% of Americans are either unsure or believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Only 26% think things are going well.

Worse, just 4% believe the economy is “excellent.”

Personally, I do not believe that we will see a major war erupt before the end of 2021.

But a new year is just weeks away, and I have such a bad feeling about 2022.

Over the past couple of years we have been hit with one thing after another, and “the perfect storm” that is now upon us threatens to go to an entirely new level next year.

A New Mystery Disease Is Killing “Scores Of People” In South Sudan

December 15, 2021December 15, 2021 by Michael

The World Health Organization has sent a “rapid response team” into South Sudan to investigate a mysterious new illness that is killing people in large numbers. At this point, about the only thing that we know about this deadly disease is that it is “unidentified”. I scoured all of the global news reports that I could find, and none of them are telling us specifically how these people are dying. I am going to keep trying to find out more. This outbreak may turn out to be nothing, but the past couple of years have shown us that sometimes a small outbreak can sweep across the entire planet very rapidly. So we should keep a close eye on South Sudan until officials can tell us for certain that there is no cause for concern.

In their article about this outbreak, the Daily Mail stated that this illness “had killed scores of people in the northern town of Fangak”…

A World Health Organization (WHO) taskforce has been sent to South Sudan to investigate an unidentified illness which has killed 89 people.

The country’s ministry of health reported that an unknown disease had killed scores of people in the northern town of Fangak in Jonglei state.

The WHO is telling us that at least 89 people have died, but the true number could potentially far higher.

Getting accurate information out of this part of South Sudan is difficult because of the horrific flooding that has occurred. WHO officials had to take a helicopter just to reach Fangak. This is the third year in a row in which flooding has absolutely devastated South Sudan, and this has put authorities on alert for outbreaks of “waterborne diseases and malaria”…

South Sudan has been staring at a catastrophic humanitarian crisis as extreme floods hit the country for the third consecutive year.

Humanitarian agencies warned that the situation was threatening to cause an outbreak of waterborne diseases and malaria, and lead to food insecurity and malnutrition.

And in the nearby state of Unity, it is true that officials have seen an increase in diseases such as malaria…

In the bordering state of Unity, severe floods have increased the spread of diseases such as Malaria and caused malnutrition in children due to food shortages, Lam Tungwar Kueigwong, the state’s Minister of Land, Housing and Public Utilities, said.

But apparently the mystery illness in Fangak is not malaria, and all of the tests that have been taken so far have ruled out cholera…

Local health officials in Fangak said initial samples from the sick returned negative results for cholera.

So why would they test for cholera?

That is a very good question.

I went over to the official CDC website, and this is what they have to say about cholera…

Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 or O139. An estimated 2.9 million cases and 95,000 deaths occur each year around the world. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can be severe. Approximately 1 in 10 people who get sick with cholera will develop severe symptoms such as watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In these people, rapid loss of body fluids leads to dehydration and shock. Without treatment, death can occur within hours.

Is there something about the way that these people are dying that caused them to suspect that cholera might be spreading?

Hopefully we will get more information about the specific symptoms of this new mystery disease within the next 24 hours.

I just feel so bad for the people of South Sudan. They have been through so much war, the economy is in a state of shambles, and now they are suffering through “the worst flooding in almost 60 years”.

If you are safe and warm, you should count your blessings, because there are people on the other side of the globe that are literally living through a nightmare on a daily basis.

At this point, almost the entire population of South Sudan relies on various aid groups and the United Nations for even their most basic needs…

Nearly all the population depends on international food aid, and most basic services such as health and education are provided by the United Nations agencies and aid groups.

At this hour, we do not know if this outbreak in South Sudan will turn into something major.

And the truth is that the vast majority of local outbreaks do not turn into global pandemics.

But we have been repeatedly warned that “the next pandemic” is coming, and so I am always on alert for any new “mystery disease” that suddenly pops up.

If you think that COVID is the worst pandemic that could happen to us, then you don’t know your history very well.

According to History.com, the Black Plague killed approximately a third of the entire population of Europe…

The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. People gathered on the docks were met with a horrifying surprise: Most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were gravely ill and covered in black boils that oozed blood and pus. Sicilian authorities hastily ordered the fleet of “death ships” out of the harbor, but it was too late: Over the next five years, the Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe—almost one-third of the continent’s population.

It is just a matter of time before something far worse than COVID comes along.

A few months ago, Bill Gates specifically warned that “we aren’t ready” for the next pandemic, and he seems entirely convinced that we will soon see another.

Other “health experts” have also made similar ominous projections.

Of course COVID is not going to go away any time soon either, and politicians all over the planet will continue to use it to advance their insidious agendas.

There Are 2 More Statues At UN Headquarters In New York Which Appear To Have A Link To The Book Of Revelation

December 14, 2021December 14, 2021 by Michael

All throughout history, statues have had deep significance to those that put them up. In some cases, statues were erected to commemorate a conquest or a pivotal battle. In other cases, they were set up to honor leaders of historical importance. But even more often throughout history, statues have been constructed for spiritual reasons. In the western world, the worship of statues is very rare today, but the global elite are still obsessed with decorating key landmarks with “art” that has very special significance to those that are “in the know”. It is not just a coincidence that capital cities all over the planet are adorned by extremely bizarre statues. Every single one of those statues has a meaning, and the vast majority of the population is totally oblivious to what is really being communicated.

Last week, I posted an article about a really weird statue that was just put up right outside UN headquarters in New York. The giant statue is called “The Guardian of International Peace and Security”, and the UN is telling us that it is a “fusion” of a jaguar and an eagle.

But is that the real story?

As I pointed out in my previous article, this new statue is reminding Christians all over the globe of the “beast” described in Revelation chapter 13, and of course the “beast” of Revelation chapter 13 represents the Antichrist.

So did someone at the UN actually intend to set out a “welcome mat” for the Antichrist by authorizing the display of this truly bizarre amalgamation of creatures?

I thought that the story was done once I published that article, but it turns out that there is more.

One of my eagle-eyed readers pointed out that in some of the videos you can actually see another statue of a mysterious figure riding a horse.

I did some research, and I discovered that the other statue entitled “Peace Monument” was created by Croatian sculptor Antun Augustinčić in 1954. According to the UN, this is what the statue signifies…

Carrying an olive branch in one hand and a globe in the other, with a cloak fluttering on her back and on a horse in a stance suggesting a powerful forward movement, She is symbolically leading the Nations of the World towards Peace.

The fact that the figure riding the horse has an olive branch for an arm seems to indicate that peace is being offered, and the fact that she is holding a globe in her hand seems to indicate that she has control of the entire planet.

So what is the message that is being communicated here? Are we supposed to understand that we will finally have global peace if we will just hand full control over to a world government headed by the United Nations?

When I first saw this statue, I was immediately reminded of the rider on the white horse in Revelation chapter 2…

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The fact that the rider in Revelation chapter 2 seems to be male and the rider on the “Peace Monument” is female would appear to rule out any link at first glance.

However, I looked up Revelation 6:2 in the original Greek, and it is not clear whether the rider is male or female. Interpreters have always assumed that the rider must be male, and so male pronouns have always been used when translating that verse into English.

That certainly puts a different spin on things, doesn’t it?

Of course many believers are anticipating that the breaking of the first seal will be one of the events that initiates the 7 year apocalypse that was detailed by the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation.

Could it be possible that this statue which has been sitting outside UN headquarters in New York all this time is actually foreshadowing that moment?

If what I have shared already is not weird enough, there is one more statue at the United Nations that merits our attention.

It is called “Anyanwu”, and it was presented to the United Nations by Nigerian artist Ben Enwonwu in 1966.

In this case, it is very clear that “Anyanwu” has a very deep spiritual meaning. The following comes from Wikipedia…

The sculpture is a representation of the female Igbo mythological figure and earth goddess Ani. The piece is emblematic of the sculptural traditions of the Igbo people and of the art of Benin.^[1] The piece references the saluting of the rising sun, in veneration of the supreme Igbo deity Chukwu. Ani rises out of the ground to salute the sun and arches toward the sky. She wears a headdress and jewellery made of coral; the traditional regalia of the Edo people.^[2] Her head is modelled after an Edo portrait sculpture of a Queen Mother.^[3] She is adorned with matching hoops bracelets on her wrists.^[3]

In another article on Wikipedia, it is made clear that “Chukwu” is actually a sun god that is represented by our physical sun…

According to the Igbo people, who are the majority in the southeastern region of Nigeria today, Chineke is the creator of the universe and everything good in it along with rain, trees, and other plants. Chukwu is a supreme deity represented by the sun.

Nimrod of ancient Babylon is the original source of all of the sun god worship that eventually spread all over the globe. Unfortunately, the influence of sun god worship can still be seen in almost every major religion today.

And the Antichrist will ultimately be the fulfillment of what so many sun god worshippers have been looking forward to all throughout history. He will be “the capstone on the pyramid” and the great leader that occultists have been looking forward to for so many generations.

So once again, this appears to be yet another piece of art at the United Nations that we can link to the Antichrist and the Book of Revelation.

If you think that I am making too much out of all of this, that is okay.

In the end, these statues aren’t going to be what really matters.

What is really going to matter is that we truly are moving toward the times described in the Book of Revelation, and that means that all of our lives are about to be turned completely upside down.

It’s Like “The Purge”: Murder Records Are Being Shattered All Over America, And Next Year Could Be Even Worse

December 13, 2021 by Michael

It is often said that life imitates art, and these days that is particularly true on the mean streets of our major cities. Violent criminals just keep getting more brazen, and murder rates are soaring all over the nation. As you will see below, one official in Los Angeles is actually comparing what is now happening to a horror movie that came out a number of years ago called “The Purge”. But in that movie, violent criminals only had one night each year to run wild. Unfortunately, in America today they are running wild every single night.

Perhaps some of you think that I am exaggerating, and so let’s look at some hard numbers.

At this point, there are 12 large U.S. cities that have already broken their all-time murder records for an entire year…

At least 12 major U.S. cities have broken annual homicide records in 2021 — and there’s still three weeks to go in the year.

Of the dozen cities that have already surpassed the grim milestones for killings, five topped records that were set or tied just last year.

“It’s terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It’s just crazy. It’s just crazy and this needs to stop,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said after his city surpassed its annual homicide record of 500, which stood since 1990.

The 12 cities that have already established brand new records in 2021 are Philadelphia, St. Paul, Portland, Indianapolis, Tucson, Louisville, Toledo, Baton Rouge, Austin, Columbus, Rochester and Albuquerque.

And with more than half of December still remaining, more cities will be joining that list by the time the year is finally over.

In Los Angeles, violent crime numbers are going up so fast that it is difficult to believe that the figures are actually real…

The LAPD reports that in the first 24 weeks of 2021, reports of shots fired were up 48 percent. The number of people wounded by gun violence was up 50 percent and homicides were up 26 percent.

The environment in the city has completely changed. During a recent television interview, the head of the LA Police Protective League warned tourists not to come to his city this holiday season…

“My message to anyone thinking about coming to Los Angeles, especially during the holiday season, is don’t,” Jamie McBride, the head of the LA Police Protective League, the union representing LAPD officers, said in a television interview.

What a thing to say.

McBride went on to compare current conditions in Los Angeles to “The Purge”…

“We can’t guarantee your safety. It is really, really out of control. I said it to people before, it’s like that movie ‘Purge,’ you know, instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, these people have 365 days days to commit whatever they want,” McBride said.

Wow.

This isn’t some random guy on the Internet saying this.

This is the head of the union that represents police officers in Los Angeles.

Crime is so out of control in L.A. that even people that don’t like guns are arming themselves. The following comes from a New York Post article entitled “Beverly Hills residents arming themselves with guns in wake of violence”…

“I’ve always been anti-gun,” said Debbie Mizrahie of Beverly Hills. “But I am right now in the process of getting myself shooting lessons because I now understand that there may be a need for me to know how to defend myself and my family. We’re living in fear.”

Of course things aren’t much different in northern California.

In fact, an atmosphere of “lawlessness” is seemingly everywhere in San Francisco at this point…

The pandemic emptied parts of San Francisco and highlighted some of its drawbacks: human and dog feces smeared across sidewalks, home and vehicle break-ins, overflowing trash cans, and a laissez-faire approach by officials to brazen drug dealing. Parents despaired as public schools stayed closed for most of last year as nearby districts welcomed children back to the classroom.

Meanwhile, residents and visitors scurry past scenes of lawlessness and squalor. Just steps from the Opera House and Symphony Hall, drug dealers carry translucent bags filled with crystal-like rocks or stand outside the public library’s main branch, flashing wads of cash while peddling heroin and methamphetamine.

It should come as no surprise to learn that the number of people that died from drug overdoses in San Francisco last year was nearly three times as high as the number that died from COVID.

During normal times, we rely on the police to protect us from lawless criminals, but in America today the police are under siege.

I really like how Heather Mac Donald recently made this point…

“I can tell you across the country in the United States today, when cops get out of their car to make an inquiry, to question somebody who’s acting like he’s pulling up his gun out of his waistband, to go into a drug set, they find themselves routinely surrounded by hostile jeering crowds throwing things at them,” she said. “They’re assaulted.”

“This is what it’s like to be a cop in America today,” she added.

Every single day, police officers put their lives on the line when they go to work.

314 police officers have been shot so far in 2021, and the final number for this year will inevitably be even higher.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media and many groups on the left continue to relentlessly demonize the police, and this is driving good people out of the profession in record numbers…

A workforce survey released in June by the Police Executive Research Forum found the retirement rate in police departments nationwide jumped 45% over 2020 and 2021. And another 18% of officers resigned, the survey found, a development which coincided with nationwide social justice protests and calls to defund law enforcement agencies following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

As the trends that I have discussed in this article continue to escalate, it is likely that 2022 will be even worse.

But before I end this article, I want to make a very important point.

The worst criminals in America are not the violent thugs in our streets.

Often, the worst criminals dress in suits and walk the halls of power. For example, just check out what a CNN producer was just charged with doing…

The CNN producer charged with luring a mother and her nine-year-old daughter to a rental home in Vermont for ‘sexual subservience’ training also told someone else he’d ‘trained’ girls as young as seven.

John Griffin, a producer on CNN’s New Day and worked for Chris Cuomo, was charged last week by federal prosecutors in Vermont who say he paid for sex with underage girls, including one whose mother he convinced into letting her visit him.

Needless to say, his case in not an isolated incident.

In all my years, I have never seen such utter lawlessness in America.

And if you have read my most recent book, then you know that I believe that things are going to be getting a lot worse.

Just about every form of evil that you can possibly imagine is exploding in our society, and our country has now become unrecognizable.

Decades of incredibly bad decisions have brought us to this point, and the years ahead are going to be more chaotic than most people would dare to imagine.

The Horrifying Inflation Crisis That You Were Warned About Is Here

December 12, 2021December 12, 2021 by Michael

All of a sudden, inflation is one of the hottest political issues in America. Most people seem surprised that inflation has gotten so wildly out of control, but the truth is that this should not be a surprise to any of us. We have been warned for years that this was coming. Whenever our corrupt politicians in Washington authorized trillions more in spending that we couldn’t afford, we were warned that this would eventually cause extremely painful inflation. But it didn’t happen immediately, and so most Americans didn’t take the warnings seriously. And as the “experts” at the Federal Reserve kept pumping trillions of fresh dollars into our financial system, we were warned that there would eventually be severe consequences. But those consequences did not arrive immediately, and so most Americans didn’t take the warnings seriously. But now a day of reckoning has arrived, and conditions are only going to get worse from this point forward.

On Friday, the Labor Department informed us that the inflation rate is rising at the fastest pace that we have seen since 1982…

Inflation accelerated at its fastest pace since 1982 in November, the Labor Department said Friday, putting pressure on the economic recovery and raising the stakes for the Federal Reserve.

The consumer price index, which measures the cost of a wide-ranging basket of goods and services, rose 0.8% for the month, good for a 6.8% pace on a year over year basis and the fastest rate since June 1982.

Things sure have changed since 1982.

Back then, the average price of a new vehicle was $7,983 and the average price of a new house was just $82,200.

And the way that the inflation rate has been calculated has changed dramatically since then as well. In fact, the way it is calculated has literally been changed more than two dozen times since 1980, and every time the goal was to make it look even lower.

As John Williams of shadowstats.com has pointed out, if the annual rate of inflation was still calculated the way it was back in 1980, it would be about 15 percent right now.

But the formula was certainly not perfect back then either.

During one of his recent shows, Tucker Carlson explained that the official rate of inflation has become completely divorced from the extremely aggressive price increases that U.S. consumers are wrestling with on a daily basis…

In fact, there’s only one accurate way to measure inflation, and somehow the Fed has not yet figured this out. Here it is: You ask yourself, what does it cost you to live in this country compared to what it cost you a year ago? It’s not complicated. Do the math, and you will see that the actual number, the rise in inflation is not even close to the seven percent that Washington is claiming.

In the last year, the price of a used car, for example, is going up by more than 30%. Beef prices have risen by 21%. Crude oil up 55%. Dimensional lumber, 35%. Wheat, 37%. Sugar, 33%. Corn, 39%. Palm Oil, 43%. Do you drink coffee in the morning, ever? Oh, too bad. The price of coffee has risen 108% in the last year. Do you like breakfast cereal? Oh, sorry. Oats are up 114%.

You know what?

He’s right.

Tucker Carlson is such a gifted communicator, and he hit this one out of the ballpark.

Later on in that same segment, he played clips from various reporters talking about painful price increases that we are seeing all around the nation…

REPORTER: Americans are seeing the effects of inflation in their budgets. General Mills even announced they’re raising the prices of their cereals by up to 20%.

REPORTER: The grand total for our Thanksgiving dinner was $51.25. More than 20% over last year’s list

REPORTER: The Dollar Tree is hiking prices from $1 to $1.25 for most items.

REPORTER: If you’re lucky enough to find ammo, you’ll pay more for it

MAN AT THE GUN RANGE: You’ll see this on the store shelf for $0.65 a round. It would normally be around low $0.20 a round.

If you have been waiting for “the coming inflation crisis”, you can stop waiting because it is already here.

Yes, wages have been going up too, but not nearly as fast as the cost of living.

Needless to say, this is putting a tremendous amount of stress on average Americans…

Over the past 12 months, the costs paid by a typical American family have surged by roughly $4,000, according to calculations by Jason Furman, a Harvard economist and former Obama White House aide.

Though Americans’ overall income has also increased since the pandemic, a new poll found that far more people are noticing higher inflation than higher wages. Two-thirds say their household costs have risen since the pandemic, compared with only about a quarter who say their incomes have increased, according to the poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

If you are angry about inflation, you are definitely not alone.

All over America, people are deeply frustrated with our leaders for creating so much inflation, and Americans now have a new “number one concern” for the very first time since the pandemic started…

A CNBC All-America Economic survey released on Friday found that inflation has “firmly eclipsed” coronavirus as the No. 1 concern.

Nearly half of Americans say that inflation has caused them “financial hardship,” according to a Gallup poll released earlier this month.

A Yahoo News/YouGov survey released last month said that 77% of Americans say inflation has personally affected them. A clear majority — 57% — blame President Joe Biden for the high prices caused by inflation.

So what are our politicians in Washington planning to do to get us out of this mess?

Well, the Biden administration wants to spend trillions more.

They just can’t stop.

And every time a new crisis suddenly erupts, their “solution” is going to be to spend even more money.

So this is it.

The endgame has arrived, and a whole lot more inflation is on the horizon.

If the American people wanted to avoid this mess, they should have listened to the warnings a long time ago when we still had an opportunity to turn the ship in another direction.

Elon Musk: “Civilization Is Going To Crumble”

December 7, 2021December 7, 2021 by Michael

Even billionaires like Elon Musk can see that the current state of affairs is completely and utterly unsustainable. If we stay on the path that we are on, and there are absolutely no indications that we plan to reverse course, societal collapse is inevitable. In fact, as I detail on a regular basis, societal collapse has already begun all around us. Unfortunately, most people still can’t bring themselves to admit that it is actually happening.

I don’t always agree with everything that Elon Musk does or says, but he is certainly a very interesting guy.

He is not afraid to anger the establishment, and he often expresses opinions which run counter to the dominant narratives of our day.

For example, he just told the Wall Street Journal that our declining birth rates are “one of the biggest risks to civilization”…

“There are not enough people,” Musk told a Wall Street Journal event Monday. “I can’t emphasize this enough, there are not enough people,” he said.

The tech billionaire said low and rapidly declining birth rates are “one of the biggest risks to civilization.”

Without a doubt, birth rates are certainly dropping quite precipitously.

In fact, here in the United States the birth rate is at an all-time record low, and every single U.S. state has now dropped below replacement level.

In other words, if birth rates do not start rising we will soon see our population steadily shrink.

We are witnessing similar trends all over the globe right now, and this deeply alarms Musk. He believes that if birth rates do not start going back up, “civilization is going to crumble”…

Musk added that too many “good, smart people” think there are too many people in the world and that the population is growing out of control.

“It’s completely the opposite,” Musk said, urging people to look at the data. “If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble. Mark my words.”

Musk makes a very valid point.

Here in the United States, we desperately need younger workers to do the jobs that older workers are unable or unwilling to do now that they have reached their retirement years.

Unfortunately, to a large degree that isn’t happening, and this has been one of the factors that has contributed to the greatest supply chain crisis that any of us have ever experienced.

As of Monday, there were 123 cargo ships that were just sitting off the southern California coast waiting to be unloaded…

According to Marine Exchange, 123 cargo ships were waiting to unload goods onto the southern California docks, which are responsible for 40 percent of all shipped containers to the United States. Of the 123 ships, 62 were container ships, which includes 35 anchored or loitering and 27 at berth.

Even before the pandemic came along, the U.S. was starting to suffer from a lack of young workers throughout our various supply chains.

Now that countless people have died or have become incapacitated over the past couple of years, this problem has erupted into a full-blown crisis.

So what can we do?

Well, for one thing most supply chain workers should be paid a whole lot more than they are right now.

Rampant inflation has changed everything. In the old days, 15 or 20 dollars an hour was a livable wage on the west coast, but that is no longer true.

In fact, one expert has determined that it now takes an income of approximately $300,000 a year just to live a middle class lifestyle in major cities such as San Francisco, Seattle or New York…

S.F.-based finance expert Sam Dogen pinned that number at $300,000, after surveying dozens of readers on his Financial Samurai blog and asking about their incomes and expenses living in the notoriously high-priced coastal cities.

With their feedback, Dogen broke down the budget of a couple with one to two children in San Francisco, Seattle or New York. He found $300,000 is the income necessary to put something away for retirement, save for your child’s education, own a three-bedroom home, take three weeks of vacation a year and retire by a reasonable age.

For years I have been railing against inflation, and for a long time a lot of people out there simply did not understand why I was so passionate about it.

Inflation is a hidden tax that systematically destroys our standard of living. Over time, wages have been slowly going up for workers all over the nation, but wages have not been rising as fast as the cost of living has.

As a result, the middle class has been absolutely eviscerated.

Today, many of you are “making more money” than ever before.

But because inflation is totally out of control, many of you are not living as well as you once did.

When the federal government borrows and spends trillions upon trillions of dollars it does not help you.

And when the Federal Reserve pumps trillions upon trillions of dollars into the financial system it does not help you.

In both instances, the people at the very top of the economic food chain are the ones that are helped.

According to the latest World Inequality Report, the share of global wealth held by billionaires has tripled since 1995, and last year represented “the steepest increase in global billionaires’ share of wealth on record”…

Since 1995, the slice held by billionaires has risen from one percent to three percent, according to the World Inequality Report.

“This increase was exacerbated during the Covid pandemic. In fact, 2020 marked the steepest increase in global billionaires’ share of wealth on record,” the document said.

In other words, the process is accelerating, and you are on the losing end.

We are living in the terminal phase of the greatest debt bubble in all of human history, and the wealthy are getting even wealthier with each passing day.

The game has been rigged in their favor, and they are having a wonderful time even as our society begins to collapse all around them in thousands of different ways.

But the clock is ticking, and eventually time will run out.

On some level, Elon Musk understands this, but at this point society as a whole is not going to heed warnings from anyone.

We are just going to keep doing what we are doing until disaster finally strikes and we can’t do it anymore.

The Great Realignment: Countless More Americans Will Be Moving From Blue States To Red States In 2022

December 6, 2021December 6, 2021 by Michael

We are rapidly becoming two very different nations with two very different cultures. At one time we truly were the “United” States of America, but now we have been split into two opposing camps that deeply hate one another. As a result, in recent years we have watched millions of Americans relocate for ideological reasons. This has caused “red states” to become even redder and “blue states” to become even bluer. At this point, there are just a handful of “purple states”, and it is in those states where our presidential elections are determined. It is really not healthy for just a few states like Pennsylvania and Michigan to have such power, but that is a topic for another article. In this article, I want to discuss why the mass exodus from blue states to red states is actually going to accelerate in 2022.

Right now, there is no issue in the United States that is more divisive than the COVID vaccine.

Most conservatives want to be able to have the freedom to choose whether to take the injections or not, while many on the left want to use the power of government to compel people to get injected.

It has truly been frightening to watch many on the left embrace authoritarianism so eagerly, and many leftist politicians just continue to tighten down the screws.

For example, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio just decided to impose a very strict vaccine mandate on all private employers in his entire city…

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced what he called a first-in-the-nation vaccine mandate for private companies Monday.

He said the combination of the Omicron variant and holiday gatherings forced him to take “bold” steps. He’s giving businesses just three weeks to make sure their workers are vaccinated.

If you don’t get the jab, you won’t be allowed to keep your job.

There will not be a “testing option” under this new mandate, and so anyone that refuses to comply will be kicked to the curb two days after Christmas…

De Blasio said the city will release specific rules on Dec. 15, before the mandate takes effect Dec. 27. He said it will apply to in-person employees, but would not provide any details about enforcement. He also said there will not be a weekly testing option.

This is complete and utter lunacy, but of course we are witnessing lots of that in blue states these days.

We are being told that this new mandate will apply to approximately 184,000 businesses, and that means that vast numbers of New Yorkers will soon be forced to search for greener pastures.

One of them is a woman named Cynthia. She told a reporter that this mandate gave her yet another reason “to get the hell out of New York”…

Cynthia, an employee at a Midtown marketing firm who refused to share her last name due to fear of blowback, told the Post that the new requirement is ‘another reason’ to leave the city.

‘Just terrific. Bill de Blasio just gave me another reason I need to get the hell out of New York, or at least find a job that lets me work remotely,’ she said.

Where will thousands upon thousands of displaced New Yorkers like Cynthia go?

One conservative member of Congress that represents New York fears that many of them will head to “the free state of Florida”…

‘Mayor de Blasio can’t leave fast enough. He has crushed small business, the economy and quality of life. How many more New Yorkers does he want to see move to the free state of Florida?’ said US Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who represents Staten Island and Brooklyn.

So New York is going to get even bluer in 2022, and Florida will be getting even redder.

Down in Massachusetts, hundreds of hospital workers were just ruthlessly canned because they refused to comply with a vaccine mandate…

About 200 UMass Memorial Health employees are out of a job because they missed the health care system’s COVID vaccination deadline.

UMass Memorial announced the mandate over the summer with a deadline to get vaccinated or receive an exemption by November 1.

Employees were let go on December 1 if they did not get the vaccine.

Many of those displaced health workers aren’t going to be able to find similar work in Massachusetts, and so they will head to red states.

As for UMass Memorial Health, I am not sure exactly what they plan to do. You can’t just pull people off the streets to be medical professionals. They will probably be short-handed for a long time to come, and that is just going to hurt the people that they are supposed to be serving.

In Oregon, a different sort of mandate has people thinking that it may be time to relocate.

If you can believe it, officials in Oregon are actually thinking of making their indoor mask mandate permanent…

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) assembled a Rules Advisory Committee (RAC) earlier this week to address a permanent indoor mask mandate in the state. Oregon is one of a few states that still retain one nearly two years into the pandemic.

The committee included several community stakeholders, including representatives from the hospitality industry, the business sector, and faith communities, according to local ABC affiliate KATU.

I cannot understand why any rational decision maker would want to do such a thing, but apparently they are quite serious.

There are a whole lot of very conservative people that live in eastern Oregon, and I think that even more of them are going to be moving over the border into Idaho in 2022.

Before I end this article, I want to mention what Canada has just done.

Beginning November 30th, all unvaccinated individuals are now banned from using any form of public transportation…

In Canada, any travelers older than 12 years old must show proof of full vaccination to take any form of public transportation including domestic and international flights as well as trains.

“Starting November 30 at 3:01 am EST, vaccination will be required for travel within and to depart Canada,” the Candian travel website states. “A valid COVID-19 molecular test will no longer be accepted as an alternative to vaccination unless you’re eligible for one of the limited exemptions.”

Trudeau and his minions have completely gone off the deep end, and I feel so sorry for freedom-loving Canadians that are deeply suffering under his regime.

Of course the Biden administration is considering something similar for domestic travel inside the United States.

Let us hope that they never pull the trigger on such a move.

All over the globe we are seeing governments become more authoritarian, and that certainly sets the stage for some of the things that I warned about in my latest book.

Here in the U.S., countless numbers of freedom-loving Americans are fleeing to red states as they seek to escape the oppression that they have been experiencing in blue states.

Unfortunately, blue state tyrants have no intention of backing down, and this is going to create a tremendous amount of tension in our nation as we head into 2022 and beyond.
