The Hour Is Late

We are running out of time, but most people are still dead asleep.  I have to admit that I am really struggling with how to say what I need to share in this article.  I have been up against some real challenges in recent days, but the vast majority of my readers didn’t know that anything was different because I have just continued to pump out content on the websites.  Of course we all face challenges in life, and there are many that are facing far greater challenges than I have been facing.  The phrase “remember Job” has been repeatedly coming to mind throughout this time, and there is so much that we can all learn from that story.  When great challenges come, there are often very important lessons that we can learn from them, and an entirely new chapter may await us on the other side of those challenges.

In this article I am going to share with you some of the things that I have been sharing with people privately.  Prior to sitting down, I spent some time walking around in the chilly mountain air outside.  I wanted to clear my head and organize my thoughts before I began writing.  Unlike in our major urban areas, the air is crisp and clean here, and I will never get tired of the view.  We live in a truly beautiful world, but unfortunately many of us take the beauty of nature for granted.

Many of you probably expected me to write an article about the latest mass shooter today.  That is the “big story” that everyone is talking about, but the truth is that it isn’t really that important.  There was a mass shooting last week, and there will inevitably be more mass shootings in the days ahead.  We live at a time when mass shootings have become commonplace, and that is because we live in a deeply broken society.

In 2020, the number of mass shootings was almost 50 percent higher than it was in 2019.

And since we are off to a brisk start this year, the final number for 2021 will almost certainly be even higher.

The Democrats are going to politicize this latest tragedy and use it as an opportunity to push their gun control agenda, and conservatives will freak out about that.

But these short-term political battles are not where our focus should be right now.

For a very long time, many of us have been warning about things that are coming.  But now we are transitioning into a period when the time for warning will be over because so many of the things that we have been warning about will actually be happening.

Of course you could say that we have already been in such a time since the beginning of 2020.  The COVID pandemic continues to sweep across the globe, the entire world is wrestling with severe economic problems, civil unrest continues to rage in our major cities and our planet is becoming increasing unstable.  I covered many of the things that we are currently facing in an article entitled “7 ‘Plagues’ That Are Hitting Our Planet Right Now” that just went viral on Zero Hedge.

But as bad as conditions are at the moment, I believe that they will soon get a lot worse.

In fact, I believe that we have entered a time when global events will accelerate dramatically.

Now that Joe Biden is in the White House, a lot of people are crying “peace and safety”, but they aren’t going to get “peace and safety”.

The next few months are a time to be watchful.  In particular, I have been privately telling people to watch Israel for anything “unusual” that happens.  If you learn of something extremely unusual that happens over there that you don’t think I know about yet, please write to me.  Way too often there are extremely important events that take place that the mainstream media never covers.  So if history changing events take place in the weeks or months ahead, that doesn’t mean that the mainstream media will cover them.

In addition to watching Israel like a hawk, let us also keep our eyes on the Biden administration.  Joe Biden is not all there mentally, and the warmongers that he has surrounded himself with are pushing us toward conflicts with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.  There are multiple places around the globe where war could break out, but let us hope that war can be put off for as long as possible.

Once war does finally break out, it will greatly intensify the economic problems that we are already facing.

I know that many of you are very eager for me to release my next book.  Lost Prophecies Of The Future Of America has been ranking very well on the Amazon charts for many months, and it is literally waking people up all over the globe.  My next book will also examine coming events which will greatly shake the world as we know it today, but I can’t publish it yet.  I feel that things that are about to happen will be absolutely critical to the message of the book, and so I need to wait and watch during this season.

I believe that we will soon see historic events take place which will literally change everything.

Needless to say, many others also believe that 2021 will be a critical turning point as well.  But ultimately even “2021” is just an artificial man-made construct.

Do you want to know who decided that the year would start on January 1st?

It was the Romans.

And why should our days start at midnight?

That is an artificial man-made construct as well.

Just because something has been handed down to us from previous generations does not mean that we have to blindly accept it.

Many of you will read this article on Wednesday.  Did you know that the name “Wednesday” actually comes from an ancient pagan god?…

Wednesday is “Wōden’s day.” Wōden, or Odin, was the ruler of the Norse gods’ realm and associated with wisdom, magic, victory and death. The Romans connected Wōden to Mercury because they were both guides of souls after death. “Wednesday” comes from Old English “Wōdnesdæg.”

When you start to learn about the lies that we have inherited, it will open your eyes to a whole new world.

Of course most people never stop to question why things are the way that they are.  Sadly, most people just mindlessly absorb whatever the system tells them to believe, and as a result we have vast hordes of vacuous “sheeple” populating our society today.

The good news is that millions of them will soon be shaken out of their slumber by the apocalyptic events that are coming.

It will be a rude awakening, but that is certainly preferable to never waking up at all.

Flaunting Wealth: Are We About To Reach America’s “Let Them Eat Cake” Moment?

In the social media era, public displays of wealth have become a way to show the world that you are “somebody”.  Of course our value as human beings has absolutely nothing to do with how much money we have, but it is undeniable that those that have tremendous wealth are often idolized in our culture.  Just think of how much we fawn over Bill Gates, Elon Musk and countless social media “influencers” that have become household names.  Sadly, this has created an environment in which people increasingly feel a need to flaunt their wealth, and that is extremely unfortunate.

Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, 8 million more Americans have fallen into poverty, 10 million more Americans are now in danger of being evicted from their homes, and more than 70 million new claims for unemployment benefits have been filed.  With so many people deeply suffering, it is extremely insensitive to publicly flaunt your wealth, but many rich people are doing it anyway.

Recently, social media influencer Kylie Jenner has gotten a lot of attention for photos that she has been posting to Instagram.  In one, her daughter poses with a $1,390 designer bag in front of a $225,000 Lamborghini…

Kylie, 23, posted a new picture of her toddler today, as the two enjoyed the Calabasas sun.

The Instagram model showed off Stormi’s outfit, consisting of gray sweatpants, a matching tank top, colorful sneakers, and a $1390 mini tan Prada bag.

As if the high-end bag wasn’t enough of a flash of wealth, the photo was taken in front of Kylie’s $225K bright orange Lamborghini.

The caption “chill days w mommy” was posted under the photo.

How are the millions of Americans that have had to wait in line for hours at local food banks supposed to feel when they see something like that?

Another way that wealth is being flaunted is through the purchase of NFTs.  On Monday, a tech executive paid 2.9 million dollars for an NFT of Jack Dorsey’s very first tweet…

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s first tweet, offered for sale as a nonfungible token, was sold on Monday for 1,630.58 ether, a cryptocurrency. That’s equivalent to about $2.9 million based on ether’s price at the time of sale.

The tweet, which said “just setting up my twttr,” was first published on March 21, 2006. It was listed for sale as an NFT on March 6. By March 9, the highest offer was from Sina Estavi, CEO of Bridge Oracle. Estavi won the auction, though his bid was worth about $2.5 million it was placed.

Of course Sina Estavi doesn’t actually own Jack Dorsey’s first tweet now.

All he owns is a digital collectible that memorializes Jack Dorsey’s first tweet.

How ridiculous is that?

Even worse, someone recently spent 69 million dollars for an NFT “work of art” that was created by a digital artist named “Beeple”…

Last week, the auction house Christie’s announced the artist Beeple sold a piece of artwork for more than $69 million, the third highest price for a living artist.

But “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” isn’t a physical work of art. It’s all digital.

The work was sold through an NFT, a burgeoning technology that could potentially change how we own everything from art work and concert tickets to our homes.

If you want to know how to get rich quick in America these days, just change your name to something really stupid like “Beeple” and start pumping out NFT “artwork”.

You don’t even have to paint anything, and you can make millions of dollars in the process.

Meanwhile, about two-thirds of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and are just trying to survive from month to month.

The gap between the wealthy and the poor has never been greater, and there is a tremendous amount of resentment building toward the ultra-rich right now.

In such an environment, you would think that religious leaders would be extremely cautious about flaunting wealth, but in many instances they are some of the most brazen examples of all.

A man named Ben Kirby started the @PreachersNSneakers Instagram account in 2019, and today it has more than 210,000 followers.  For more than a year, he has been posting photos of some of the most famous preachers in America wearing extremely expensive designer clothes…

On his feed, Kirby has showcased Seattle pastor Judah Smith’s $3,600 Gucci jacket, Dallas pastor T.D. Jakes’s $1,250 Louboutin fanny pack and Miami pastor Guillermo Maldonado’s $2,541 Ricci crocodile belt. And he considers Paula White, former president Donald Trump’s most trusted pastoral adviser who is often photographed in designer items, a PreachersNSneakers “content goldmine,” posting a photo of her wearing $785 Stella McCartney sneakers.

When I was growing up in the 1970s, I never heard of this sort of thing happening.

In those days, preachers wore very conservative suits and ties, and they were usually not paid very well at all.

But now a new brand of “celebrity preacher” has emerged, and they are often treated like rock stars…

In his book, Kirby writes that these pastors who have enormous social media followings aren’t simply pastors anymore, he writes. Often they are motivational speakers, corporate coaches and leadership consultants. Kirby said he has heard of churches where a volunteer was designated solely for the purpose of carrying the pastor’s Bible. Often, he writes, these pastors have private entrances, reserved parking spaces, security details and a gaggle of personal assistants or handlers. And, often, they promise blessings from God to their followers if their followers bless the church.

“Like Hollywood — a world so often criticized by the pietistic — these institutions and their leaders celebrate and reward the ‘blessing’ of fame, popularity and influence,” he writes. “Pastors function like ‘talent’ performing for an audience or like a spokesman for the church’s ‘brand.’ ”

If this is how corrupt our churches have become, what hope is there for the nation as a whole?

Flaunting wealth and throwing money around recklessly might be fun for a while, but there will be a price to pay.

Even as I write this article, the resentment that the “have nots” are feeling toward the “haves” is growing.

When things get bad enough in this country, a breaking point will come, and the “have nots” will be looking to extract some revenge.

7 Plagues That Are Hitting Our Planet Right Now

Things are starting to get really crazy out there.  In recent interviews, I have used the term “stability” to describe the current state of affairs, and some people may think that is quite strange.  But I stand by that assessment.  In the short-term, we have experienced a period of relative stability over the last couple of months, but of course that will soon change.  I believe that global events will soon greatly accelerate, and much chaos is on the horizon.  However, that certainly doesn’t mean that nothing of importance is happening at the moment.  In fact, the following are 7 plagues that are hitting our planet right now…

#1 A Plague Of Millions Of Rats In Australia

Could you imagine having so many rats infesting your community that it is literally impossible to ever get away from the smell?  Right now, millions upon millions of rats are making lives miserable for countless residents of Australia, and in some instances it is literally taking hours just to clean up all of the poop that they leave behind…

Mice in the cabinets. Mice in the streets. Thousands upon thousands of mice in the barn, pooing so much it takes six hours to clean up their waste.

These are scenes from Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, where an out-of-control mouse infestation is making life miserable for farmers, grocers and other citizens of the eastern Australian states.

Needless to say, it isn’t just poop that is the problem.  At this point, many farmers in Australia “have already lost entire grain harvests to the rampaging mice”…

Some farmers have already lost entire grain harvests to the rampaging mice, according to local media reports, while hotels have had to close because they can’t keep the critters out of the rooms. Staff at a grocery store in a small town northwest of Sydney reported catching as many as 600 mice a night.

#2 Large Earthquakes

According to the USGS, usually we get about 15 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater each year…

According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 16 major earthquakes in any given year. That includes 15 earthquakes in the magnitude 7 range and one earthquake magnitude 8.0 or greater.

So far in 2021, we have already had 7 that are magnitude 7.0 or greater, and that includes a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that just shook Japan…

A 7.0 preliminary magnitude earthquake has struck Japan off the coast of Ishinomaki, a city located just 65 miles (104 km) from Fukushima, the site of a devastating 9.0 magnitude quake 10 years ago.

Latest information from USGS shows the earthquake has a depth of 54 kilometers (34 miles). CNN teams in Tokyo felt the tremor.

#3 Volcanoes Are Roaring To Life All Over The Globe

According to Volcano Discovery, 29 volcanoes around the planet are currently erupting right now, and that includes a volcano in Iceland that had been dormant for hundreds of years…

The Fagradals Mountain volcano in southwest Iceland had been dormant for 6,000 years. But on Friday night, following weeks of earthquakes in the area, the volcano came to life.

The eruption is the first that the Reykjanes Peninsula, where the volcano is located, has experienced in 781 years.

Video of the eruption show the bright lava oozing out of the earth, lighting up an otherwise stark dark night.

#4 The “Megadrought” In The Southwestern United States

Earlier this month, I wrote an entire article about the megadrought in the Southwest entitled “You Were Warned That Dust Bowl Conditions Would Return, And Now It Has Happened”.

Well, this drought just continues to get even worse. In fact, NBC News is telling us that there is “little hope for relief” any time soon…

With nearly two-thirds of the United States abnormally dry or worse, the government’s spring forecast offers little hope for relief, especially in the West where a devastating megadrought has taken root and worsened.

Weather service and agriculture officials warned of possible water use cutbacks in California and the Southwest, increased wildfires, low levels in key reservoirs such as Lake Mead and Lake Powell and damage to wheat crops.

#5 Armies Of Locusts In Africa And The Middle East

In 2020, giant armies of locusts the size of major cites relentlessly marched across parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.  Millions of farmers had their crops wiped out, and experts told us that it was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

That was only supposed to be a one year plague, but now it is happening again…

A single locust swarm can contain up to 80 million locusts and fly 30 to 80 miles in one day depending on the wind. By the time, spraying planes arrived at the WhatsApp coordinates the next day, it was often too late.

The locusts had warmed up in the morning sun and moved off into the wilderness, laying millions of eggs. Every day, each locust can eat its weight in vegetation daily and multiplies twenty-fold every three months. A swarm can easily eat as much food as 35,000 people in a single day and multiple two dozen times in three months.

#6 H5N8 Bird Flu In Russia

When cases of H5N8 bird flu started to pop up in Russia, many experts started to become extremely concerned that it could start being transmitted from human to human.

Because if it starts spreading widely among humans, the percentage of victims that will die will be far higher than for COVID.

Unfortunately, one of the top experts in Russia says that there is “a fairly high degree of probability” that it is now being passed from one person to another…

A mutating strain of bird flu that has emerged in Russia has “a fairly high degree of probability” of human-to-human transmission, the head of the country’s health watchdog warned in a report.

Anna Popova, who heads Rospotrebnadzor, made the worrying prediction almost a month after scientists detected the first case of H5N8 transmission to humans at a southern Russia poultry farm, the Moscow Times reported.

#7 The COVID Pandemic

Even though people are being vaccinated at a feverish pace all over the globe, the number of confirmed cases in Brazil is higher than ever before and experts are telling us that a “fourth wave” has begun in Europe.

Could it be possible that the vaccines are not going to be the “saviors” that so many people were anticipating?

At this point, more than 2.7 million victims have already died from COVID, and more are passing away every single day.

But even though so many bad things have already happened, if you are familiar with my new book then you already know that I believe that what is on the horizon is going to be much worse.

We live at a time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken, and what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.

So buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride, because things certainly aren’t going to be getting any easier.

New Dead Sea Scroll Fragments Have Been Found For The First Time In 60 Years, And This Is What They Say…

We just witnessed one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in decades.  For the first time in 60 years, new Dead Sea Scroll fragments have been discovered, and Israeli authorities are telling us that archaeologists will continue to carefully search the area to see if they can find more.  Due to the extremely dry conditions in the region, the fragments that have been recovered are extremely well preserved even though they appear to have been written before the time of Christ.  But to me, the biggest part of this story is what the fragments actually say.

We’ll get to that in a moment, but first I want to talk about where we are at on the calendar.

When the sun went down on Saturday, March 13th that marked the beginning of a new year on the calendar that God gave us in the Bible.  Of course hardly anyone in the world actually acknowledges it as “the new year”, but sunset on Saturday was when the first day of the first month of the year began according to the Biblical calendar.

And since this also happened as the seventh day of the week was ending, sunset on Saturday also marked the beginning of a brand new week.

So it was one of those rare instances when a Biblical day, a Biblical week, a Biblical month and a Biblical year all started at the exact same moment.

Personally, I believe that this is very significant.

And just a couple of days later, it has been announced that portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered for the first time in 60 years…

Dozens of fragments of a Dead Sea Scroll bearing biblical text have been found by archaeologists working in the Judean Desert, the Israeli government said Tuesday.

The fragments are the first pieces of the Dead Sea Scrolls found in around 60 years and were recovered from a cave where Jewish rebels against the Roman Empire hid around 1,900 years ago, according to a government press release.

It was certainly not easy to get to the location where these fragments were found.  In fact, we are being told that archaeologists “had to rappel down a sheer cliff” in order to get to them…

The discovery was part of an Israeli government project launched in 2017 to survey the caves of the Judean Desert and recover artifacts before looters could steal them. Per an IAA statement, researchers had to rappel down a sheer cliff to reach the Cave of Horror, which is surrounded by gorges and located some 260 feet below a cliff top.

“The desert team showed exceptional courage, dedication and devotion to purpose, rappelling down to caves located between heaven and earth, digging and sifting through them, enduring thick and suffocating dust, and returning with gifts of immeasurable worth for mankind,” says IAA Director Israel Hasson in the statement.

That cave is known as “the Cave of Horror” because 40 skeletons were found there during excavations in the 1960s.

And based on coins that were just discovered in the cave, authorities believe that they are able to identify the year when the scrolls were originally hidden there…

Based on the style of the Greek script, the scroll fragments appear to have been written in the first century B.C. Based on coins found in the cave, the scroll was probably brought to the cave in A.D. 135 at the end of a Jewish revolt against the Romans named for its leader, Bar Kokhba.

Researchers say it indicates that Greek was widely spoken in the Jewish community at the time, in addition to Hebrew and Aramaic. The texts are entirely in Greek except for the Tetragrammaton, the revered four-letter name of God, which appears in the fragments in Ancient Hebrew characters.

But as I mentioned above, to me the most important part of the story is what is actually said on the scroll fragments.

Some of the fragments are a Greek translation of Zechariah 8:16-17…

One fragment, written in Greek with God’s name appearing in paleo-Hebrew, quotes Zechariah 8:16-17: “These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to one another, render true and perfect justice in your gates. And do not contrive evil against one another, and do not love perjury, because all those are things that I hate – declares the LORD.”

Interestingly, instead of using the Greek word for “gates”, the Greek word for “streets” is used in this instance.

Just as we sometimes use different English words when translating the Old Testament from Hebrew into English in our time, so also would different word choices sometimes be made when translating the Old Testament from Hebrew to Greek in ancient times.

And I find it fascinating that these verses have suddenly captured the attention of the entire globe at this moment in history.  We definitely do not “render true and perfect justice” and we love to “contrive evil”, and so we are doing the exact opposite of what we are instructed to do in this passage.

The other scroll fragments that were found come from Nahum 1:5-6…

Another features Nahum 1:5–6, which indicates: “The mountains quake because of Him, And the hills melt. The earth heaves before Him, The world and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before His wrath? Who can resist His fury? His anger pours out like fire, and rocks are shattered because of Him.”

As you can see, these verses describe God’s judgment.

Throughout the Scriptures, we are told that if we follow God’s ways and keep His commandments we will be blessed, but if we reject His ways and His commandments we will be cursed.

Obviously, America has chosen the latter, and if we stay on this path our story is not going to end well.

Could it be possible that these Dead Sea Scroll fragments were hidden away for all these centuries just to be revealed at such a time as this?

Stranger things have happened.

And I would continue to keep your eyes on the land of Israel, because I believe that a lot more really strange things will be happening in the months and years ahead.

P1 Is Being Called “A Different Pandemic From The One We Saw Last Year”, And It Is Ripping Through Brazil With A Vengeance

What would you do if a coronavirus that is much more contagious than regular COVID and that makes people much sicker than regular COVID started to spread all over the globe?  Well, we are being told that is precisely what is now happening.  Technically, P1 is a “variant” of the COVID virus that has paralyzed the entire planet over the past year, but it is proving to be far more dangerous.  Over the past week, the spread of P1 in Brazil has caused people to drop dead at a staggering pace…

Over the past month, the South American nation has blown past a series of grisly milestones, repeatedly setting new records for most Covid-19 deaths per day. In the past week, it set another record: 12,818 new deaths and more than 464,000 new cases, according to Johns Hopkins University figures — signs of a viral spread outpacing even that of the United States, the only country in the world harder hit by the pandemic in absolute numbers.

Hospitals all over Brazil cannot handle the vast numbers of people that are becoming extremely sick.

In fact, some hospitals are no longer taking any new patients at all…

In the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, ICUs are so overloaded that the largest public hospital treating Covid-19 cases in state capital Porto Alegre said Sunday it was forced to close its doors to new patients.

“The hospital’s ICU Covid ward already serves at 132% occupancy,” hospital management at Porto Alegre Hospital das Clinicas said in a statement.

Throughout this pandemic, the vast majority of the victims that were becoming seriously ill or dying were elderly people.

But things are much different with P1.  Vast numbers of healthy young adults are being hospitalized, and that fact has prompted the health secretary of Sao Paulo to refer to P1 as “a different pandemic from the one we saw last year”…

São Paulo’s health secretary, Jean Gorinchteyn, this week told reporters that in many of that state’s ICUs half of patients were now under 50. “I’m talking about 26 and 29 and 30-year-olds – often in a very grave condition,” he said, urging citizens to avoid crowds and remain at home. “We all need to understand that what is happening right now is a different pandemic from the one we saw last year,” Gorinchteyn claimed.

What a great tragedy this is.

We need to be praying for Brazil, because right now they are seeing “cemeteries fill up like never before”…

As the emergency intensified this week, frontline health workers from Porto Alegre to Recife, a coastal city 3,000km further north, described scenes of heartbreak, despair and exhaustion as intensive care units and cemeteries fill up like never before.

“It feels like we’re putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,” said Eduarda Santa Rosa Barata, a 31-year-old infectologist who works in three ICUs in the north-eastern capital of Pernambuco state, all now stretched to the limit. “We’re engaged in damage reduction … You open new beds and they fill up immediately.”

But won’t Brazil be okay once everyone gets vaccinated like the corporate media is suggesting?

No.

First of all, there are all sorts of very serious problems with the vaccines.  If you have not heard about them by now, I would strongly recommend doing some research.

Secondly, P1 appears to evade immunity conferred by previous COVID infection.  Just check out the results of one new study…

A preprint of a new modelling study by researchers in Brazil and the UK suggests the variant first detected in the northern city of Manaus late last year, known as P.1, may be up to 2.2 times more transmissible.

The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal, suggests that even people who have already had the coronavirus could be vulnerable. The same study showed that the P.1 variant could evade immunity from previous Covid-19 infection by up to 61%.

In October, one study discovered that 76 percent of the entire population of Manaus, Brazil had already developed COVID antibodies.

But then P1 showed up in December and absolutely devastated Manaus.

So if natural COVID antibodies do not provide protection against P1, what makes you think that the vaccines will produce antibodies that will provide protection against P1?

Of course P1 is not just limited to Brazil.

It has already spread to a whole bunch of other countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Mexico, Italy and India.

Here in the U.S., it just keeps popping up in more locations.  For example, three confirmed cases of P1 were just reported in Arizona…

Officials with the Arizona Department of Health Services say a COVID-19 variant strain that spreads at a faster rate has been detected in Arizona.

According to a statement released on March 12, AZDHS, along with the Yuma County Health Services District and TGen, reported that the P1 strain of COVID-19, also known as the Brazilian variant, was detected in three test samples from the state.

If P1 becomes the dominant strain in the United States, we are going to have a massive problem on our hands.

But for the moment, most Americans are convinced that the worst days of the pandemic are now behind us.  Just check out these survey results…

But Americans believe the trend line in containing the virus is improving, with 64% saying efforts are going well right now — the highest since CBS News began polling on the outbreak last March. And in the months ahead, six in 10 expect the outbreak to get better and only one in 10 think it will get worse, a brighter outlook that spans party lines.

Can you imagine how depressed people will be if P1 starts spreading like wildfire all over this country?

If we could barely handle COVID, how are we going to be able to handle P1?

And if we can’t handle P1, what in the world is going to happen when a pestilence that is much, much worse comes along?

Of course pandemics are just one element of the “perfect storm” that is now upon us.

We live in very troubled times, and what we have experienced so far is just the very beginning.

The 10 Best U.S. States And The 10 Worst U.S. States For 2021…

This article is likely to stir up some very strong emotions.  Just a few hours ago, I discovered that U.S. News & World Report had released their list of the best U.S. states for 2021.  This immediately got my attention, because people are constantly asking me for my advice about where to move.  I always respond by saying that we are not all on the same path, and I point out that the right choice for others might be totally wrong for them.  But without a doubt, I am actively encouraging people to consider relocating during these troubled times.  In fact, earlier this week I published an article entitled “If You Need To Move Somewhere Before Everything Hits The Fan, You Need To Do It Now”.  I have very strong opinions about various parts of the country, and I am going to share some of those opinions with you in this article.

I would like to start my discussion by taking a look at the worst states.  According to U.S. News & World Report, these are the ten worst states for 2021…

50. Louisiana
49. Mississippi
48. New Mexico
47. West Virginia
46. Alabama
45. Alaska
44. Arkansas
43. Oklahoma
42. South Carolina
41. Kentucky

Needless to say, I totally disagree with this list.

First of all, I would like you to notice that nine out of the ten states on their list are red states.  The list was probably put together by a group of liberal elitists, and living in a red state would not appeal to such people at all.

Also, most of the states on the list are southern states.  For years, the corporate media has openly looked down on southern states, and that is extremely unfortunate.

Ultimately, I think that this list of “worst states” is pretty much useless.  So let me share with you how I would rank the 10 worst states…

#50 California – The state is run by lunatics, the lockdowns have left the economy in ruins, homeless encampments are everywhere, drug use if off the charts, crime rates are skyrocketing, illegal immigration is fueling the rapid growth of gangs, the traffic in the urban areas is nightmarish, last year was a record year for wildfires, and a major seismic event could alter the geography of California at any time.  Other than that, it is a fairly nice place to live.

#49 New York – New York City is the biggest reason why this state is so high on the list.  Hundreds of thousands of residents have fled NYC over the past year, and more are leaving with each passing day.

#48 Illinois – If you could carve the Chicago area out of the state, it wouldn’t be so bad.  Today, more than 100,000 gang members reside in the city of Chicago, and violent crime was worse than ever last year.  Unfortunately, there is no hope that things will turn around any time soon because both the city and the state are run by radical leftists.

#47 New Jersey – This state is often called “the armpit of America”, but New Jersey is actually preferable to New York City these days.

#46 Washington – As you will see below, U.S. News & World Report actually ranked Washington as the best state in America for 2021.  I don’t know what they were smoking, because that is not true at all.  Yes, there are sections of eastern Washington that are very nice and that I would recommend to anyone, but the city of Seattle drags the ranking of the entire state way down.

#45 Oregon – If it was just the city of Portland that we were talking about, this state may have topped the list.  But the eastern half of the state is actually very appealing, and a lot of really great people live there.

#44 New Mexico – The crisis along our southern border is not going to go away, drug use is rampant, and much of the state is plagued by absolutely crushing poverty.

#43 Pennsylvania – The city of Philadelphia alone is a good reason to place this state in the bottom 10.  Many rural parts of the state are very nice, but the crime, corruption and social decay in the urban areas are more than enough to earn this spot for the once great state of Pennsylvania.

#42 Michigan – A few years ago I would have ranked Michigan even lower.  Some positive changes have been made, but the city of Detroit is still a cesspool, and the governor of the state is a complete lunatic.

#41 The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area – I know that this isn’t a state, but I had to include it on this list.  D.C. is the epicenter of so much that is wrong with our country, and the corruption that happens there literally affects every man, woman and child on the entire planet.  When you go into D.C., you can literally feel the oppression in the atmosphere.  It is such a terrible, terrible place, and our founders would be heartbroken to see what it has become.

Next, let’s take a look at the best states in the country.  According to U.S. News & World Report, these are the ten best states for 2021…

1. Washington
2. Minnesota
3. Utah
4. New Hampshire
5. Idaho
6. Nebraska
7. Virginia
8. Wisconsin
9. Massachusetts
10. Florida

I already shared what I think about Washington, and I have no idea how Minnesota possibly made this list.

Did they miss the part where large sections of Minneapolis were literally burned to the ground?

If you enjoy being carjacked, Minneapolis would be a great place to live.  But if you value your safety, I would definitely steer clear.

Once again, this list of “best states” is pretty much useless.  So let me share with you how I would rank the 10 best states…

#1 Idaho – No state is perfect, but Idaho has so many of the things that I tell people to look for when evaluating an area for relocation.  It has low crime rates, low population density, moderate weather, plenty of water, lots of natural resources, it is away from both coasts and it doesn’t sit near any major fault line.

#2 Montana – I like Montana for a lot of the same reasons that I like Idaho, but it can get really, really cold during Montana’s bitter winters.

#3 South Dakota – South Dakota also fits many of the criteria that I normally look for, but the winters can be almost unbearable if you are not accustomed to them.

#4 North Dakota – North Dakota is very similar to South Dakota, but the winters are even colder.

#5 Wyoming – Wyoming is like a “best kept secret” that is no longer a secret anymore.  Lots of celebrities and wealthy people have moved in, and that has changed the character of the state.  In addition, the extremely high winds that plague the state also keep it from being higher on this list.

#6 Alaska – Alaska is unique because it is not physically connected to the continental United States.  It is a great place to go if you want to get really, really lost, but the cost of living is extremely high and the winters can be really, really challenging.

#7 Colorado – If this state had not gone blue, it would be higher on the list.  It used to be such a wonderful place, but times are changing.

#8 Nebraska – The low population density if a major plus, but if you get bored easily that may be a problem.  Other than farming, there isn’t much going on in Nebraska, and that is both a positive and a negative.

#9 Kansas – This state is similar to Nebraska in a lot of ways, but the Kansas City metropolitan area on the border of the state is the one big negative.

#10 Tennessee – Sadly, this is the only eastern state to make my top 10.  I really like the Smoky Mountains, and Nashville is nicer than most of our other major cities, but I would definitely steer clear of Memphis.

I would also like to grant honorable mention status to Florida.  I went to law school there, and I will always have a great love for the state.  It would have made my top ten, but I just couldn’t include it because of what is going to eventually happen there.

So that is my list.  I know that many of you will disagree with some of my conclusions, and that is okay.

In the end, each one of us needs to be exactly where we are supposed to be.

If you feel called to live and work in California, then you should pursue that calling with all of your heart.

I am not here to tell you what to do.  But hopefully this list will be a little bit of a help for many that are considering relocating at this time.

If you are thinking of moving, I would do it quite soon, because things are only going to get crazier in this country during the very difficult years that are ahead.

Meghan Markle Is A Perfect Representation Of What Has Happened To Our Civilization As A Whole

I never imagined that I would write an article about Meghan Markle.  In fact, over the years I have done my best to ignore the endless drama surrounding the British royal family.  And even though the “tell-all interview” that Oprah Winfrey just conducted with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has become the top news story in the entire world, I wasn’t going to write about it.  But then it struck me that this story is not just about Meghan and Harry’s bitter feud with the rest of the British royal family.  Ultimately, Meghan has become a larger than life symbol which represents what is happening to our civilization as a whole.  Previous generations handed us the keys to unimaginable wealth and prosperity, but we are in the process of smashing it into a billion pieces.  Sadly, our self-obsessed narcissism forces us to blame anyone and everyone else for our problems, and anyone that dares to point that out is in danger of being “canceled”.

When Meghan Markle somehow landed Prince Harry, many considered her to be the luckiest woman on the entire planet.

There are literally billions of women that have dreamed of marrying a prince and becoming a member of the British royal family, and she actually got to do it.

As long as she didn’t mess it up, she had the opportunity to live in extreme luxury and be one of the most famous women on the entire planet for the rest of her life.

But that wasn’t enough for Meghan.  She didn’t like the fact that there are certain rules that one must abide by as a member of the royal family, and she greatly resented being restricted in any way, shape or form.

During her interview with Oprah, Meghan said that her life in the royal family was “almost unsurvivable”, and she claimed that she would now be dead if she had not left.

There are some people that are never able to be happy in any situation, and she appears to be one of those people.  As Piers Morgan has pointed out, she has a history of hitting the “cancel” button when people in her life are no longer useful to her…

Having had personal experience, on a very small scale, of Meghan Markle’s ruthlessness when dispensing of anyone in her life that’s ceased to be of use to her, it was no great shock to see her lighting a gigantic bonfire that will surely cause irreparable damage to her husband’s family.

After all, she’s torched all her own family, along with her ex-husband and most of her old friends.

This was the acting performance of her life, with every word, every facial expression carefully planned and choreographed.

Long before she joined the royal family, she had left a trail of broken relationships in her wake.

But it was never her fault.

Now she is literally trying to “cancel” the entire British royal family, and it is truly sickening to watch.

After watching the entire two hour interview with Oprah, the following is how Piers Morgan described it…

By the time I’d finished the whole two-hour orgy of pious, self-indulgent, score-settling twaddle, the steam was erupting out of my ears like an exploding geyser, and my lexicon of rageful epithets extended to the full range of the alphabet.

Never have I watched a more repulsively disingenuous interview.

Nor one more horrendously hypocritical or contradictory.

With Meghan, everything is always all about her, and for now Prince Harry seems happy to go along with that.

But what will happen when he finally grows tired of serving as her enabler?

Many Americans are falling for her act too, but as one British news source has pointed out, the story that Meghan and Harry are telling is filled with contradictions…

* We just crave privacy and normality – they tell two billion people around the world in one of the biggest TV interviews of all time;

* The tabloid newspapers are awful – so here’s a metric ton of royal secrets to keep the world’s royal hacks in column inches for months;

* We hate racism and love truth – but we refuse to name (and are thus protecting) the shameful palace racist obsessed with the skin tone of our baby;

* I have deep respect for my grandmother – but I’m still going to undermine the institution of the Royal Family.

The allegation that the British royal family is racist is one of the most laughable claims.

The British royal family is many things, but racist is not one of them.  In fact, the British royal family has a very long history of being extremely liberal.

In the old days we would have considered them to be “radical leftists”, but the radical leftists of today have gone so far left that they make the royals look “conservative” in comparison.

In any family there are going to be problems, and the British royal family is certainly not immune.

And without a doubt, it would be difficult for any American to adjust to life as a member of the British royal family.

But from what I can gather, Meghan was dishing out more “abuse” than anyone else.  In fact, quite a few former staff members that dealt directly with her “are ready to come forward”…

At least ten former staff members are ready to come forward as claims that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex bullied and “humiliated” aides are probed.

Allegations that Meghan, the former Suits starlet and wife of Prince Harry, inflicted “emotional cruelty and manipulation” on staff are being investigated by Buckingham Palace, after a former aide revealed she had been the subject of a bullying complaint and accused her of driving a number of people out of their jobs.

It was a really bad idea for Prince Harry to marry a self-entitled American actress, especially one with such a violent temper…

Claims that Meghan brought a certain Hollywood entitlement into British public life have swirled for years, with her husband accused of doing little to restrain her — “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,” he is alleged to have shouted at the Queen’s dresser during an incident involving a diamond tiara.

“I… witnessed Meghan turn and ‘hiss’ at a member of her entourage, clearly incandescent with rage about something, and demand to leave,” the royal editor at the Daily Mail said of one alleged incident during a public event.

After everything that has transpired, Meghan and Harry would have still been welcomed back by the rest of the British royal family as long as they didn’t publicly air their dirty laundry for all the world to see.

But now that is precisely what they have done.

Needless to say, millions of British citizens are absolutely furious with them, and Nigel Farage says that it is time to strip them of their royal titles…

I think the time has come to strip them of their royal titles.

They are clearly intent on number one, destroying the monarchy, and number two, making themselves as bigger stars, as bigger leaders, of the woke revolution in America and the rest of the world.

It’s a very, very sad day for this country, I have no sympathy for either of them whatsoever.

I agree.

The blessings that they have been given should be passed on to someone else that will appreciate them.

Sadly, we don’t appreciate the blessings that we have been entrusted with either, and we are in the process of destroying our civilization as a whole.

It is easy to point a finger at Meghan Markle, but the truth is that most of us are just like her.

In our insatiable thirst for evil, we are literally destroying everything around us, and there is no future for our society if we continue to go down this road.

The Quality Of Life In The United States Is Going Down The Toilet

Is the quality of life in America getting better, or is it getting worse?  Americans certainly have a lot more “money” than they did when I was a kid, but that doesn’t mean much because the U.S. dollar has only a fraction of the value that it did back then.  And without a doubt our electronic devices have become much more advanced, but that doesn’t mean that we are happier.  In fact, everywhere I look people seem to be deeply unhappy.  It is rare to see someone actually smiling in public, but of course there is a good reason for that.  If you smile too much, someone might accuse you of being creepy.  As Americans, we are being trained to not express emotions and to keep to ourselves.  Being friendly is considered to be “suspicious”, if you tell a joke there is a very good chance that you will deeply offend someone, and if you express strong opinions you might just get “canceled”.

Even though we are far more “wealthy” than they were, I imagine that our culture is not too different from what East Germans experienced before the Berlin Wall came down.

There is so much hate and division in our society, and everyone seems ready to rat out those around them at the drop of a hat.  So most people are careful to keep to themselves, but at the same time most people are desperately lonely.

These days, most Americans walk around like a bunch of zombies.  In fact, as a result of mental health problems and stress, a majority of Americans are exhibiting at least one of the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome…

A survey of more than 31,000 people shows that insufficient sleep, mental health problems, and stress were the causes of a whole host of symptoms doctors are used to seeing in head injury patients. Symptoms of what doctors call post-concussion syndrome (PCS) range from persistent headaches, dizziness and anxiety, to insomnia and loss of concentration and memory.

While 27 percent of people report having several of these symptoms, between one-half and three-quarters say they experience at least one. The most common symptoms are fatigue, low energy and drowsiness. Yet despite their findings, researchers believe the number in the general population could be much higher.

Of course one of the primary reasons why so many people are acting like zombies is because we have been drugged out of our minds.  Americans take more legal drugs than anyone ever has in the entire history of the world, and each year the pharmaceutical companies come up with even more drugs for us to try.

In particular, because we are so deeply unhappy Americans take boatloads of anti-depressants.  More than 50 million Americans are on anti-depressants right now, and it gets worse with each passing year.

But even though we are taking so many “happy pills”, Americans continue to kill themselves at a staggering pace, and this is particularly true for our young people.

In North Carolina, one school superintendent recently shared the fact that “the suicide rate among teens is higher than the COVID rate of death in their county”…

The debate to reopen schools for in-person learning has highlighted an alarming idea – that students are not just falling behind academically, but at a heightened risk of death by suicide.

“One of our local superintendents recently shared with me that the suicide rate among teens is higher than the COVID rate of death in their county,” Sen. Deanna Ballard, a Republican from the 45th district, recently told CBS 17, though she declined to name the superintendent or county. Ballard did not respond to NC Health News’ requests for comment.

Isn’t that insane?

You can’t just blame the pandemic for the rise in suicide either.  In fact, the national suicide rate for teens was skyrocketing before the pandemic ever began…

The national rate of suicide in young people increased 57 percent between 2007 and 2018, according to the CDC.

“Even before the pandemic, we’ve been seeing an increase in youth suicides,” said Virginia Hamlet Rodillas, hotline manager for National Alliance on Mental Illness NC, which operates a statewide helpline.

If our society is so wonderful, then why are so many kids killing themselves?

The truth is that our society has become so sick and so twisted that life seems completely empty to so many of these youths.  Life is such a wonderful gift, and every day should be enjoyed to the fullest, but our society has become so evil that many teens are killing themselves rather than live in it one more day.

I once wrote an entire book about why people can have hope in these deeply troubled times, and I really wish that I could get it into the hands of everyone in America.

There is hope even for those that are facing the darkest circumstances, but most people don’t realize that because our society certainly doesn’t offer any.

Overall life expectancy has been dropping in the U.S. as well.  In fact, during the first half of 2020 life expectancy in the United States declined by a full year…

It’s already known that 2020 was the deadliest year in US history, with deaths topping 3MM for the first time. But the latest batch of morbid data is in, and they suggest things are about to get worse on average as life expectancy in the US dropped a full year during the first half of the year.

Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time a baby born today is expected to live. From January through June of last year, that was 77.8 years for the entire U.S. population, down from 78.8 years in 2019. It’s the lowest level since 2006, the report said.

Our healthcare system has become a complete and utter nightmare, and it is not going to get any better any time soon.

Speaking of nightmares, our system of public education has become a sick joke.  Just look at what has been going on in Baltimore…

A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.

Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma this coming June. But after four years of high school, France just learned, her 17-year-old must start over. He’s been moved back to ninth grade.

Millions upon millions of young people graduate from high school each year, but many of them can barely read, write or speak in public.

I could go on and on.  Just about every system that you could possibly name is in the process of failing, and that is probably why our satisfaction with the way our country is functioning is at the lowest level ever measured.  The following comes from Gallup…

Americans’ satisfaction with seven broad aspects of the way the country functions is collectively at its lowest in two decades of Gallup measurement. This includes satisfaction with the overall quality of life in the U.S., assessments of government, corporate and religious influence, and perceptions of the economic and moral climates.

The average percentage satisfied with these seven dimensions has plunged to 39% at the start of 2021. That compares with 53% a year ago, the highest average in more than a decade amid strong economic confidence and before the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the U.S.

So once again I wish to pose a question to you.

Is the quality of life in America getting better, or is it getting worse?

The answer is quite obvious, and the rest of the world is laughing at us as our once great nation steadily deteriorates.
