The Economic Collapse

All of the other crazy things that have been happening in the world have kind of overshadowed the fact that there has been a lot of very alarming shaking along the Pacific “Ring of Fire” lately.  Dozens of volcanoes have been erupting, hundreds of sizable earthquakes have been occurring, and a lot of people that live in the affected areas are really freaking out.  Is all of this shaking leading up to some sort of a historic disaster?  Only time will tell, but it is being reported that scientists “are concerned about the increasing activity in the Pacific Ring of Fire”… (Read More...)

There has never been a month quite like July 2025.  We are only about halfway through the month, and there has already been more than a dozen catastrophic flooding events around the world.  As you will see below, many of those flooding events have occurred in the United States, and now forecasters are warning us that more flooding is on the way.  Yesterday, I talked about how one prominent meteorologist has declared 2025 to be “the year of the flood”, and he is not exaggerating one bit.

Do you feel financial stress on a regular basis? If so, you are certainly not alone. As you will see below, a new survey has discovered that more than two-thirds of the entire country is feeling “anxiety and depression” due to financial stress. The cost of living is totally out of control, and it is absolutely crushing the middle class. Earlier today, we learned that the official rate of inflation has gone up again. Apparently it was the largest increase in five months, but I don’t put much stock in the official government numbers because I know how much they have been manipulated. In fact, the formula for calculating the official rate of inflation has been altered dozens of times since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and every time they change the formula the goal is to make inflation look lower than it actually is. To me, what really matters are the prices that we are hit with on a day to day basis, and those prices have been skyrocketing. (Read More...)

So is this how it all ends?  I don’t even know how to describe the emotions that I am feeling right now.  There was so much hope a few months ago that there would be peace, but both sides appear completely uninterested in making substantial compromises at this point.  Instead, both sides are poised to dramatically escalate the war.  If we continue going down this path, it isn’t going to end well.  For decades, our leaders have been conducting war game scenarios in which a conflict in Ukraine leads to a nuclear war.  Now a conflict in Ukraine could lead to a nuclear war for real.  I feel like I am watching a slow-motion train wreck happen without any way to stop it.  It really is quite a sickening feeling.

Everybody agrees that the rich have been getting even richer in recent years.  But what about all the rest of us?  Unfortunately, it turns out that flooding the system with money was really good for the wealthy, but it has made things much worse for almost everyone else.  Poverty is rapidly growing all around us and the middle class is being systematically eviscerated.  If you doubt this, can you explain why the number of Americans dealing with food insecurity has almost doubled over the past four years?  And can you explain why store closings in the U.S. are on pace to set a new all-time record?  The middle class simply does not have the same level of discretionary income that it once did.  Today, we live in a country where 70 percent of the population feels very financially stressed.  If you are in the segment of the population that is doing really well right now, good for you. But you need to understand that most of the country is really hurting. (Read More...)

Why did some of America’s most prominent billionaires regularly meet with Jeffrey Epstein even after he became a registered sex offender in 2008?  In this article, I am going to discuss reporting that the Wall Street Journal has done over the years that proves that these meetings took place.  Of course just because billionaires were meeting with Jeffrey Epstein does not mean that they were involved in anything illegal.  Perhaps all of them are completely innocent.  But if the Epstein investigation had moved forward, these billionaires would have been forced to answer some very hard questions.  Could it be possible that the Epstein investigation was shut down to protect them?

Why has hunger in America absolutely exploded during the past 4 years?  And why are store closings in the United States on pace to set a brand new record high this year?  A lot of people out there don’t want to admit that the U.S. economy has been crumbling for a long time.  One recent survey discovered that 70 percent of Americans are the most financially stressed that they have ever been in their entire lives.  That figure alone tells us that we have a major economic crisis on our hands.  The cost of living has been rising much faster than paychecks have been, and most of the country is just barely scraping by from month to month.  Anyone that attempts to deny this is simply not living in reality.

Is there a possibility that a cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Rainier could occur in the not too distant future?  On Tuesday morning, Mt. Rainier was shaken by over 400 earthquakes.  It was the largest earthquake swarm that we have seen at Mt. Rainier since 2009.  Those that have been following my work for a long time already know why this earthquake swarm immediately got my attention.  One of these days, Mt. Rainier will suddenly erupt, and a lot of people living in the vicinity of the volcano will die.  Authorities have always known about the threat that Mt. Rainier poses, but they just kept building more homes in the shadow of the volcano.  The stage is set for a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, and the clock is ticking. (Read More...)
