GRADUALLY, THEN SUDDENLY

“How did you go bankrupt?” Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

Gradually, then suddenly”: How the Protecting Our Democracy Act addresses institutional decay | ACS

“I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty.” – John Adams

Hemingway’s famous quote about going bankrupt connects with so many because it is true on a personal basis and a civilization basis. It applies to individuals and empires in decline – like the American democracy. John Adams realized two centuries ago democracy was no better than monarchy or aristocracy over the long haul. We were handed a Republic by Franklin and his fellow revolutionaries, but we failed to keep it almost from the very birth of this nation.

As we rush towards our World War 3 rendezvous with destiny, aided and abetted by politicians placed in power by globalist billionaires hellbent on the destruction of our way of life, so they own everything and you own nothing, I can’t help but ponder who is to blame and could we have avoided this dystopian outcome.

The United States has been going bankrupt gradually for the last fifty years, both financially, intellectually, and morally. Nixon closing the gold window in 1971 and opening the debt door to morally bankrupt bankers and politicians set in motion a downward spiral accelerating at hyper-speed as we speak. The American Empire was born in the shattered global debris of World War II with the Bretton Woods agreement, which left the USD as the dominant currency in world trade, specifically as the settlement currency for all oil transactions.

The empire has been sustained by currency supremacy, military might, and until 1980, manufacturing superiority. Once the most highly educated nation on the planet, decades of lowering the bar, less than mediocre union teachers, and replacing education with indoctrination, has created generations of ignorant zombies incapable and uninterested in critical thought.

Slowly at first, then all at once | Sovereign Man

The road to bankruptcy was very gradual at the outset of empire, with the national debt topping out at $269 billion, 119% of GDP, in 1946. In 1960 it had only grown to $286 billion but had dropped to 54% of GDP. Rebuilding the world and being the dominant economic power paid huge dividends. After a decade of guns, butter and welfare programs, the debt grew to $398 billion, but continued to drop as a percentage of GDP to 35% in 1971. After decoupling from gold, the national debt soared to $908 billion by 1980, inflation surged to 15%, and Volcker had to raise interest rates to 20% to avert disaster. What happened over the next forty years was mind boggling in its recklessness, shortsightedness, and acquiescence to the Wall Street cabal. These decade-by-decade increases were obscene:

1980               $908B            32% of GDP

1990               $3.2T              54% of GDP

2000               $5.7T              52% of GDP

2010               $13.6T            90% of GDP

2020               $27.8T            129% of GDP

Today             $30.3T            130% of GDP

Federal debt: 1931-2051

Rogoff and Reinhart postulated in 2010 that once a country passes 90% of GDP, economic growth slows dramatically, and the chances of financial crisis increase exponentially. With annual GDP growth of about 2% since 2010, their theory has proven accurate. Now we approach the existential financial crisis which could initiate the “going bankrupt suddenly” phase of our empire of debt. Larry Kotlikoff, Harvard, and Wharton educated economic professor at Boston University, estimates the unfunded welfare liabilities of the United States exceeds $210 trillion. We are a long way from when our Founders handed us a republic.

“American money was never more sound, or banking more free, than 200 years ago. Since then, it’s been a long steady decline from the gold standard and competitive banking to our Fed-run system of inflated paper currency, deposit insurance, and perpetually shaky banks on the dole.”Lew Rockwell

There is no conceivable way this debt can ever be repaid, therefore it will not. It’s just pure math, which the average dumbed down American chooses not to question or dispute. In their own lives they need to make enough income to make their mortgage payment and car loan payment. It’s the same for the government. The only way debt obligations can be met is for tax revenue to exceed expenses. Borrowing to make debt and interest payments is unsustainable, reckless, and an example of imperial empire arrogance. The only unknown now is whether the debt is defaulted upon, it is hyperinflated away, or some sort of debt jubilee and currency collapse makes it mute.

No matter the solution, the people will bear the brunt of the pain and drastic diminishment of their standard of living. Those in control will position themselves to benefit from whatever scheme is implemented to eliminate the debt. The current trend of running trillions in deficits per year is unsustainable and already resulting in raging inflation, declining GDP, and pushing the world towards a global depression.

There is no disputing the facts I have presented. These facts trump the willful ignorance of the masses and the false narratives of the ruling class, along with their media mouthpieces pretending all is well. Those controlling the levers of power know this shitshow can’t go on. They have fully exhausted their propaganda tools, financial derivative schemes, and monetary machinations, leaving them nothing but crashing the system and implementing a Great Reset, which would keep them in control and the rest of us in squalor and subservience.

We’ve been on the road to perdition for a long time, but we came to a peak on that highway in 2019 and the path has been straight down since, with our chariot of fire accelerating at breakneck speed towards its final destination with catastrophe and ruin. The rise and fall of the American Empire will be far more rapid than the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. With the inept and reckless leadership in place presently, I only hope we still have a nation after they successfully provoke World War 3.

How the fall of the Roman empire paved the road to modernity | Aeon Essays

The gradually part of going bankrupt is over. Since the end of fiscal year 2019, our fearless leaders have added $7.6 trillion to the national debt, a 33% increase in less than three years. Meanwhile, the duplicitous Fed has added $5 trillion to their balance sheet, a 125% increase, while keeping interest rates at zero and creating a tsunami of inflation, crushing the poor and middle class.

But at least the Wall Street bankers are raking in record bonuses, while still sucking at the teat of Fed QE to infinity. The blatant disregard for the lives of average Americans, while propping up the Wall Street cabal, billionaire oligarchs, and corrupt politicians should be met with pitchforks and torches in a just world. But that is not the world we occupy.

Fed Raises Rates and Projects Six More Increases in 2022 - The New York Times

The last time inflation was this high (15% as measured in 1980), Volker jacked the Fed Funds rate to 20%. Spineless Jerome Powell has the Fed Funds rate at .33% today. It’s almost as if they are promoting record high inflation to make the national debt load less burdensome. Destroying the finances of hundreds of millions, creating global energy and food shortages, and instigating World War 3 as a consequence of their actions is just a minor irritation for the global elite. In fact, it appears to be part of Schwab’s Great Reset plan.

At first it seemed outrageous to think anyone would want famine, starvation, energy shortages, economic depression, and global war, but watching the insane decision making of politicians, trumpeted by the Deep State bootlickers in the media, has convinced me this is chapter 2 in their Great Reset book of horrors.

Is the War in Ukraine Part of the Great Collapse before the Great Reset by Peter Hammond - YouTube

Once you wrap your head around how vile, evil, and demented those who are pulling the strings behind this Great Reset are, your eyes are open to how far they are willing to go to institute their plan. It appears they will stop at nothing, kill as many people as necessary, create maximum chaos and pain, wreck any civic cohesiveness left, and destroy all moral and legitimate norms of society, in order to increase their control, power and wealth on this earth.

They hold all the cards. They control the governments, corporations, banks, legacy media, social media, entertainment industries, military industrial complex, sickcare Big Pharma complex, and the mental processes of the masses through their mind control/propaganda technology. Their hubris and arrogance have reached peak altitude and exuberance. They believe they are invincible. That will be their fatal weakness.

The sheer cavalcade of lies, misinformation, purposely created chaos, engineered conflict, and financial market manipulation, make the daily intrigues confusing and open to misinterpretation. There are various factions competing to control the future course of history. There is not a clear good versus evil battle underway. Sometimes it is tough to distinguish the New World Order Great Reset crowd from those opposing Schwab and his Davos billionaire satanists.

Pro-Putin Disinformation on Ukraine Is Thriving in Online Anti-Vax Groups – Mother Jones

I know we would like to root for the good guys, but there are no good guys running any country on this earth. Only bad guys, willing to sell their souls, are ever elevated to positions of power. They are selected by oligarchs, not elected by the people. The western propaganda spewing media machine specializes in demonizing those they are paid to demonize (Putin, Trump, non-vaxxers), while glorifying anyone the ruling elite have chosen to use to further their agenda (Zelensky, Fauci, vaxxers).

Putin is most certainly a bad guy, ruthless in his consolidation of power, serious in enforcing his beliefs through political or military measures, and willing to use any means necessary to achieve his aims. But he is only one of many bad men leading their countries across the globe. The Panama Papers show Zelinsky to be a corrupt puppet of Ukrainian oligarchs. He was a two-bit actor installed by the US, Soros, and NATO to play a role. As a reward, he has millions parked in offshore bank accounts and a $35 million mansion in Florida.

He’s such a democratic icon, he’s spent the last eight years bombing Russian speaking civilians in Donbass and Donetsk, and he outlawed all opposition political parties and media outlets last week. It seems our far-left media outlets have no problem supporting actual far-right Nazis in Ukraine, as long as they are paid to do so. They are nothing but faux-journalist whores.

The fact is Biden, Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Erdogan, Xi, and the leaders of every country in the world are bad guys. Venezuela and Iran were evil, until our gas prices hit $4.25 a gallon because of Biden’s Russian sanctions. Now Biden is frantically negotiating with these “bad guys” to get their oil. Orwell nailed it seven decades ago with:

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” – Orwell – 1984

Mapping Russia's massive military convoy pushing towards Ukraine's capital - YouTube

We have always been at war with Russia, supporting the noble democracy of Ukraine, and fully supportive of those benevolent dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, and China when in our economic interest, no matter how many people they kill, imprison, or behead. Of course, if you don’t toe the line of the petrodollar, you get Iraq’d, Libya’d, or Syria’d. Those in control of the message just move from villain to villain in the their never ending narrative. First Trump, then Covid, then the anti-vaxxers, and now Putin. The real villains are the media and those who manipulate the minds of the masses to achieve their insidious aims.

Cde Tafadzwa Mugwadi on Twitter: "How USA sponsored Regime Change turned Libya from a world class modern nation into a rubble torn shanty nation The MDCA, MDC-CCC etc hv a vision to

Hypocrisy is not a characteristic that registers with empires in their late stages. Bribing, bullying, and bombing are what the American Empire does to enforce their waning power upon other nations. The over-the-top sanctions against Russia have accelerated the American decline into bankruptcy, while ignorant Americans remain distracted by their iGadgets, NCAA tournament pools and the latest season of American Idol.

Every conflict is manufactured to benefit the global oligarchs, the military industrial complex, and those seeking to keep the masses enslaved in debt and distracted by technology, entertainment, and hatred towards whoever they are directed to hate by the government/media propaganda machine. It’s always about wealth, power, and control.

The key financial arrangement sustaining the American Empire, even as it internally crumbles from cultural rot, institutionalized corruption, and glorified ignorance of reality, is the global dominance of the U.S. dollar in trade. This is why the empire’s bankruptcy has been gradual and to many, unnoticeable. But Dementia Joe has accidentally, or purposefully as part of the Great Reset agenda, set in motion the rapid spiral into bankruptcy and collapse of the short-lived America Empire (1946 – 2022).

By creating a global energy crisis over a border dispute 6,000 miles from our shores, with no strategic interest to our country, Biden has initiated the final countdown of the petrodollar as the global settlement currency for all energy transactions. Petrodollar warfare has been the policy of the U.S. for decades as economic imperialism has been enforced militarily against Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, and Venezuela.

US$ Could Collapse as Petro-Dollar Crumbles ~ Jamie Redman … (Death of the Dollar–25) with Link to Full Story — Hive

Trying to enforce this policy against Russia will be a bridge too far. And the consequences are already being felt. Biden’s sanctions against Russian energy are backfiring and will bring an end to the petrodollar regime. Russia is demanding payment from Europe for their oil, gas, and coal in rubles, rather than USD. Any propaganda being peddled about the U.S. filling the gap is nothing but bullshit, as proven by this chart:

Via  Eurostat.

Russia supplies 47% of the EU coal demand, 41% of their natural gas demand, and 27% of their oil demand. They will pay Russia in rubles or have their societies grind to a halt, with starvation, chaos, depression, and revolution as the result. This doesn’t even consider Russian wheat and fertilizer exports, vital to Africa and the Middle East. Living within the propaganda bubble encasing the United States, where only the Deep State surveillance state sanctioned narrative is allowed to be broadcast by the dying legacy media and controlled social media propaganda platforms, you would be under the mistaken belief the entire world is in lockstep with Biden and his Great Reset cronies.

The vast majority of the world (countries in gray in the map below) are not supporting the sanctions imposed by Biden. As already noted, even the European countries in yellow are ignoring the energy sanctions. Biden has pushed Russia and China closer together, with the petroyuan rising as an alternative to the petrodollar. India has reached agreement with Russia regarding oil imports. Africa and South America, with all their natural resources, have told Biden to shove it. America’s bullying tactics are now giving rise to alternative currency schemes, such as cryptocurrencies and discussions about a gold backed yuan and gold backed ruble.

We stand on the precipice of a global conflagration, with talk of nuclear war bantered about by unserious low-IQ government bureaucrats, vacuous bimbo journalists and talking heads on the boob tube, and spurred on by the despicable hero worship of the textbook symbol of this farce – a sitcom actor who played a president in a TV show, funded by a billionaire oligarch, who was installed as president of Ukraine in a campaign funded by that billionaire, has ruled as a U.S. puppet, and who the Hollywood elite wanted to share the stage with the most dim-witted virtue signaling narcissists on the planet at the Oscars to call for the West to intervene in his losing battle and start World War 3. Instead they virtue signaled their support for Zelensky during the ceremonies.

Volodymyr Zelensky the Ukrainian president in transvestite dance - YouTube

The Hollywood elite ignore the actual Nazis fighting for Zelensky, his banning of political opponents and media outlets, and his government not allowing transgenders to flee the country because they are men. He belongs on-stage at the Oscars with the freaks, frauds, degenerates, pedophiles, and hypocritical scumbags who make up the American entertainment industry. He would have gotten a standing ovation for being such a glorious upstanding symbol of democracy, freedom, and the transvestite way. He could have stripped down, grabbed his guitar, and performed for a worldwide audience, while begging for missiles, fighter jets, tanks and drones.

We should all be laughing at this farce, but Zelensky and his handlers, Biden and his handlers, along with the other EU/NATO jokers and fools, have chosen to provoke Putin into war, and are now ratcheting up the rhetoric and sanctions to the point where a wider conflict is all but ensured. These reckless psychopaths clearly have not studied history or human nature when it comes to how wars can escalate rapidly with unanticipated outcomes and death on a massive scale. In a recent communication with writer Margaret Anna Alice, she described perfectly why we are headed into a horrific period in history, as the bloodiest chapter of this Fourth Turning hurtles towards its climax:

“The lethal combination of incompetency, obliviousness, hubris, psychopathy, narcissism, megalomania, and every other dark triad trait is on full display in those purporting to be our leaders.”

With it being quite apparent there are no good guy leaders in the world, trying to figure out the least worst outcome of this current episode of As the World Burns becomes difficult to grasp. I am convinced this engineered conflict in Ukraine is part of the bigger Great Reset plan of the global elites.

But writers I respect have differing viewpoints on whether Putin is playing his part in this scheme for a new world order or whether he and Xi are partnering to fight Soros, Schwab, Gates, and the Global Reset co-conspirators. Based on what I’ve observed, I don’t believe all these bad men have the exact same goals for how the world should be run and who should run it. But no matter who wins, the winners want more power, more wealth, more control, and an autocracy, with them calling the shots.

When I take into account all that has happened since 2014, who has been calling the shots, who was getting paid off, and the families implicated in this Ukrainian debacle, I conclude the Great Reset collaborators see this war as the next step (after the Covid scamdemic) in their Great Reset – purposely provoking Putin into attacking and now believing they can bleed him dry by funneling arms and cash into Ukraine. Why did the Clinton Foundation receive more “donations” from the Ukraine, prior to the 2014 CIA coup, than any country on earth?

Image

Biden was involved in the coup to overthrow a democratically elected president, friendly towards Russia. There was no conflict within Ukraine prior to the coup. No death. No destruction. So, who is to blame for the bloodshed now? It’s not Putin. Biden’s crackhead son raked in millions from selling influence to the “Big Guy”, with the U.S. installed puppet presidents doing as they were told by Soros and his U.S. surveillance state agents.

There has been a simmering conflict since Putin annexed Crimea, shortly after the coup, and Ukraine began attacking the eastern Russian speaking provinces. The ratcheting up of attacks in those eastern provinces and the rhetoric about Ukraine joining NATO is what provoked Putin to attack. Despite the all-out propaganda campaign, Russia is winning and will win against Ukraine alone.

This is the point in history when the Great Reset acolytes have decided they can accomplish multiple goals by turning Ukraine into a nightmarish quagmire of death and destruction, fueled by a never ending flow of armaments into this war zone, as a means to overthrow Putin, create food shortages, raise the cost of fossil fuels to astronomical heights, implement further restrictions on civil rights, increase technological controls over the populace, and institute a Chinese like social credit scoring system to enforce obedience and compliance with government demands.

Natali Sevriukova reacts next to her house following a rocket attack in the city of Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Feb. 25, 2022.

The Ukrainian people are just cannon fodder to these evil men. After two years of demanding submission from the peasants regarding lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates, the ruling elite believe they will be able to enforce food and energy restrictions with the same ease upon the American people.

This is where I believe their master plan goes awry. Putin will not be cowed by Biden’s toothless sanctions, empty threats, and pathetic tough guy rhetoric. He will use any means necessary to defeat his foes. Economic sanctions are an act of war. Supplying his enemy with weapons to kill Russians is an act of war. NATO and the U.S. are one miscalculation away from starting WW3.

At a minimum, Biden has pushed China and Russia into closer cooperation as a new economic bloc. Biden’s weakness and inability to comprehend global strategy has probably convinced China they can annex Taiwan without the U.S. intervening in a meaningful way, other than easily avoided sanctions and threats. The new world order may end up revolving around China, with Russia and India as strategic partners and the U.S. and EU as outcasts.

The underlying anger in the country is bubbling to the surface. The raging inflation is crushing poor and middle-class families. Food and energy are the two largest monthly expenditures for families struggling to survive in this Federal Reserve induced billionaire boom society. When diesel fuel supplies dwindle to nothing, destroying our just in time, truck dependent supply chain, and real food shortages start inflicting real pain, civil disobedience and rioting will occur which will make the BLM riots looks like child’s play.

When people no longer have anything to lose, they will lose it and start looking for the culprits who stole their livelihoods and future. I don’t believe their propaganda machine will be able to convince the masses this was the fault of Trump or right wing conspiracists. Their pain and suffering are due to Federal Reserve bankers, corrupt politicians of the uni-party, and the media who has lied to them non-stop for the last decade. Woke is going to mean something different in the near future.

Preparing for a Potential Economic Collapse in October - Commodity Trade Mantra

Pugnacious Putin has unwittingly, or possibly purposefully, initiated the “sudden” phase of the demise of the crumbling American Empire. A PR campaign and “USD subsidies” (aka bribes) to foreign countries will not save us now. Biden lit the fuse, and it is just a matter of when it blows. And does it just blow up the remnants of our empire, or the whole world? No one knows the answer to that question, but the future of civilization on earth depends on the answer.

Most of the world continues to go about their daily lives staring at their phones, oblivious to the danger of having angry senile sociopaths and egomaniacal billionaires controlling the use of nuclear weapons. We are one rash arrogant choice by a low IQ psychopath politician from the final scene in the Planet of the Apes.

Are we destined to be victims? This Ukraine war has revealed both parties fully support never ending war. Left and right media outlets have been spewing the anti-Russian propaganda in lockstep. What has been set in motion will not be fixed at the ballot box, as if voting matters anymore in this empire of lies and deceit. Armed insurrection would not prevail with the current configuration of our society.

The only option is to organize in local communities of like-minded people to try and survive the coming storm. Get out of cities. Prep as much as you are able, with enough food, water, and fuel to sustain your family for an extended period of time. Stock up on guns, ammo, cash, gold, silver, and barterable items. On whatever plot of land you occupy, try to raise some food, and if possible become friendly with local farmers. No one can escape what is coming, as it will be global in nature, but you can take steps now to increase your chances of survival.

Our republic has degenerated into despotism, we’ve willingly relinquished our freedoms and liberties for the supposed safety and security of a Big Brother surveillance state, and now we will suffer the consequences of these cowardly actions. Life in America is about to become far harder than our generations of snowflakes ever anticipated. Those with no survival skills will not survive. If you are not prepared in mind, body, and spirit for what is coming, your future will be bleak. Only those already awake are likely to read this anyway, so good luck and Godspeed to you all.

UPDATE 10:39 AM EDT —

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a public statement on video about what has taken place with binding the Ruble to Gold.

In that statement, he points out that Western Nations have simply STOLEN Russia’s foreign currency reserves and

Gold Bullion Reserves, and by doing so, worldwide trust in so-called “First-Class” safety of investing in the West, has been smashed.

He goes on to predict that people will now dump their holdings of Dollars and EUROS to safer investments like land, food, and raw materials.

Putin is correct.

The impact of what Russia has just done is a literal dagger to the heart of the US Dollar and to the EURO. No one will want those currencies anymore, and since the US barely manufactures anything domestically, when foreign countries cease accepting the dollar for payment, shortages of everything will slam the U.S. and Europe.

I told my wife the other day that next thing you would begin to see were scandals in the “church”. God will expose the unrighteous shepherds, the ungodly flock will be scattered, and then the end will come. It was just the next day the Hillsong scandal broke. I’ve recently seen video of John Macarthur pushing the vax/mark, and now this. The timing could not have been more perfect.

From EWS’s above comment:

The impact of what Russia has just done is a literal dagger to the heart of the US Dollar and to the EURO.

Given the timing of Putin’s invasion, the abrupt “channel change” from Covid, and the continued realization of desired outcomes to benefit the globalists, I still believe Ukraine was a planned Hegelian war to initiate the “suddenly” phase the economic reset.

Jim’s article above is an epically honest live report on the progression of this Fourth Turning. The U.S. has been running on Petrodollar fumes for decades (gradually), Covid lit the match and Ukraine is the fuse to ignite the explosion (suddenly).

Although previous world wars and societal turnings had spontaneous elements, they were still funded by elite bankers and the outcomes were assured (i.e. League of Nations and U.N.).

World War Three, however, is Orwellian in nature because it can be at this point in time – hence the “fake news” vibe permeating the airwaves.

comment image

The elite have captured the mainstream media, all governments have been infiltrated by World Economic Forum leaders in key positions of power, and the majority of corrupt politicians are puppets, comedians, clowns, and Reality Television Stars.

So we will view the Grand Illusion at our own risk while knowing it is best to keep both eyes on the proverbial “ball” in our localities, preparing for contingencies, and resisting tyranny at every turn and by any appropriate means available.

It’s been near 80 degrees high in NE Texas past two days. Planted seed potatoes March 2. Something weird about the seed potatoes this year as they did not seem to have the number of “eyes” I’m accustomed to.

Spoke to feed store a week ago because I’ve seen none sprout. Supposedly the ground is still too cold, last week, but yesterday I see some coming up. Still, I have to ask perhaps if all the covid crap hampered “normal” seed potato production in quality and quantity.

They are going to seize retirement accounts IRAs 403bs and 401Ks and give everyone the same basic income, just “to be fair” to the gimmidats and Las Nuevo Americans.
It will be a version of how FDR seized control of gold, paid out $20.00 and ounce and then revalued it to $33.00, basically stealing a third of the country’s wealth for the Nuevo Deal redistribution of wealth.

Before FDR confiscates the gold, it was $20 / oz. So say the people have 1 oz. of gold, they can sell it for $20. Then FDR confiscated or forcefully exchanged all the gold for US$, so now the government has the gold and people have $20 for each oz. Then the gold is revalued at $33/oz. Or the US$ is devaluated. So now, with the $20 from yesterday one cannot buy an ounce of gold, but needs $33 now, that is an extra $13. So the price of gold increased by 65%.

Another way to look at it is that the wealth of Americans shrunk by about 40% or 39%, not 33%. 20/33 = 0.606. So the wealth got reduced by about 40% overnight or 40% purchasing power.

Let’s fight the evil until the end with the best weapons we’ve got, that is repentance and prayer. Many men of God believes that the window for a national repentance/revival for the United States has passed. I am not here to say yea or nay on that. I am not qualified or knowledgeable to comment on that. However, I do know that we as individuals and families can still be saved in Christ. The door of salvation is still open. And we can fight the evil in our lives and we can fight the evil that is trying to destroy us and our families.

So it is time to repent, to pray, to fast, to make sure our salvation is firm and assurance is sure in Christ. The Day of the Lord is coming soon! The wrath of God is going to be poured out over the earth to judge and destroy all evil. Let us be ready for that Great Day of the Lord, the day of judgement.

The end times for America and the Western power structure for sure. I would not take a bet that America can pull herself out of this mess we find ourselves in. The American people are not living in the reality of war yet (that generation has passed). Americans in general don’t have the moral fortitude to fight a real war. When our homes, streets and cities become killing fields we then(perhaps to late) will realize what a game of death really means and how deep a grave the traitors in power have dug for us. We are no doubt whistling past the grave yard.

Boogie Man –

$$ quote right here: “Americans in general don’t have the moral fortitude to fight a real war. “

Spot on IMHO. Both Hitler & Tojo derided Americans for being “soft” & unable to fight; it was proven untrue then but may very well be true now. To use an expression coined by VDH alum Bruce Thornton, the U.S. has not fought a “full-on violence” war since 1945 & we haven’t fought a real credible enemy since the NVA. We couldn’t defeat a bunch of AK-47 wielding goat herders stuck in 2nd Century in Afghanistan. How are we going to defeat a very credible force like the Russian Army? All the doom & gloom media palpitations over “Russia’s bogged down” I don’t buy: it’s mostly Ukrainian-slanted propaganda. They’re two sides to every story & they’re only telling/slanting to one side of it.

I could very well be wrong but my instinct tells me that a World War II-style engagement a’la Kursk between the U.S. & Russia would not go well.

Would love to hear some other opinions.

IMHO no finer fighting force was ever fielded than that of the German Army circa 1940; it was that one that took to the field June 22, 1941.

Revelation 21:9-10 KJB… “And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

I respect Pastor Baldwin and his ministry. However, I disagree with his interpretation of the prophecies. For example, in one of his recent sermons, he dismissed the future yet to come “anti-Christ”. Indeed, the spirit of anti-Christ is already here and there were and are many anti-Christs. However, that does not take away the fact that there is going to be one “man of sin” (not Satan), a man of sin, the son of perdition, the beast, the prince of the people, the small horn, etc. He has many titles, and he is a real person that will exalt himself above all and will place his image in the temple of God to be worshiped.

There are many other issues I see with Pastor Baldwin’s interpretation. I would suggest people to listen to other Bible teachers, such as Chuck Missler, Joel Richardson, and a few others to get different views and interpretations.

However, in the end, I do not mind being wrong. And I don’t think getting it wrong or right on the end times is the first priority. However, I do believe we all need to get ready and be strong in faith to face whatever is coming our way.

I have listened to Pastor Baldwin and Pastor Rick Wiles for many years now. I understand where they are coming from theologically. However, I also see that some of their interpretations do not make sense biblically and do not line up with historical fact. Their positions are basically preterist and amillennial. They also believe that the Church has complete replaced the nation of Israel in God’s plan. If we study the Bible carefully, then we will see that is not the case. Many of the prophecies in the OT and NT are yet to be fulfilled. God’s promises to gather His people back to the land and restore the throne of David has also not yet been fulfilled. Pre-trip ratpure may have its issues, but it is not a new doctrine. But the confusion I think is with weather the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation are yet to be fulfilled. And another important issue is what about Israel? And the role of the Church in the endtime.

Once the people taste the debauchery it’s hard to reel them back in. Not to mention the threat that the western military industrial complex brings to the table. He stands in the way of the “great reset” Now we can’t have that, can we?

Ponder this as the center of men’s motivations and dispositions:

Jeremiah 17:9-10
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Mark 7:21-23
For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
Matthew 12:34
You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Ecclesiastes 9:3
This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead

It is the condition that we find ourselves in.

The psychology of “our” leaders is never a problem so much as mass belief in the “need” for leaders:

“I should like merely to understand how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations, sometimes suffer under a single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him; who is able to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear with him; who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him. Surely a striking situation! Yet it is so common that one must grieve the more and wonder the less at the spectacle of a million men serving in wretchedness, their necks under the yoke, not constrained by a greater multitude than they…” ~ Étienne de La Boétie

In 1971 I had just graduated from college. I was disappointed with my education. My major was economics and it was all Keynesianism, i.e. pro-growth central government. It didn’t feel right. Through some very good luck, I got introduced to Murray Rothbard and the Austrian school. By 1974 I had completely rid myself of my college ‘education’ and was a free-market thinker. At that same time, Jerry Ford ended the ban on gold ownership. Now knowing that abandoning the gold standard bankruptcy was inevitable, whenever I saved an extra buck I’d buy a Krugerrand. If I was told from a burning bush it would take 50 years I would have scoffed. Now it’s here. At 73 I’m entering my final act and so is my country. Somehow it now all makes sense and that makes me sad.

And don’t forget that to fight inflation they have to raise the interest rate, but when they raise the interest rate the US government has to pay billions more in debt payments. Which means they either have to cut spending even more or raise taxes or borrow more money and inflate the currency, we know that they are too chicken shit to cut spending and if they raise taxes that slows down the economy increasing debt on that end, so they are going to borrow the money, increasing inflation, and so on.

These days he is too eaten up with dementia to make decisions on his own. His handlers, mostly from the 0bama administration, write the words and he merely speaks them from the teleprompter. He has a history of being a bully, so acting tough is easy for him to do and the dementia just makes him a little angrier and easier to set off.

It is all working out as prophesied so all we need to do is make sure we follow the laws of the universe and pass on the Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God . . .” “All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.”

I think maybe we now know, through the human genome, that the ‘word’ could be the genetic code. How long is your DNA end to end? That’s how many feet long the DNA from one of your cells would be if you uncoiled each strand and placed them end to end. Do this for all your DNA, and the resulting strand would be 67 billion miles long—the same as about 150,000 round trips to the Moon. Rather magical, don’t you think?

Genetic code consists of a set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides, which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. These nitrogenous bases are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The genetic code includes 64 possible permutations, or combinations, of three-letter nucleotide sequences that can be made from the four nucleotides. Of the 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and three are stop signals.

The genetic code consists of a sequence of three letter “words” (sometimes called ‘triplets’, sometimes called ‘codons’), written one after another along the length of the DNA strand.
The code is read in a fixed reading frame:
Rule 1. The first rule is somewhat basic. …
Rule 2. The second rule means that any one nucleotide can only be a part of one codon. …
Rule 3. The final rule states that once you begin reading the code from a specific nucleotide, you continue reading it by threes until the end.

I think the Creator knew a thing or two and humankind has no chance of understanding it, however much they muck about with mRNA or whatever. They are NOT God and should not be arrogant enough to play God.

My vote is for hyperinflation which, by default, is also a debt jubilee. I also believe that this hyperinflation will be kicked off in earnest by the EBT crowd as government will set in motion spiraling food costs by giving those that do not work more resources than the people that do work. We are seeing it unfold in California now with the governor wanting to give everyone with an automobile $400 a month up to $800 (if you own two cars) per person. Fuel costs in California will skyrocket in response to this and will take away fuel from other regions of the country where people are not given an extra $800 a month to buy it. Were I in the energy business, I’d want to make sure that every available drop of fuel that I owned was sold in California.

The only option is to organize in local communities of like-minded people to try and survive the coming storm. Get out of cities. Prep as much as you are able, with enough food, water, and fuel to sustain your family for an extended period of time. Stock up on guns, ammo, cash, gold, silver, and barterable items. On whatever plot of land you occupy, try to raise some food, and if possible become friendly with local farmers. No one can escape what is coming, as it will be global in nature, but you can take steps now to increase your chances of survival.

I remember in the late 1980s, when the Reagan military industrial complex was just getting its second wind, each member of the US Congress was allocated a nuclear shielded van and communications equipment in order to escape a nuclear attack to the Washington DC area and come back out to their district and “govern” the rest of us.

So, if you are a well-prepared former military member who managed to get yourself all situated for the end times which you realized were coming sooner than most people wanted to believe and you have a community of folks you believe will be able to support and sustain your situation once it is time to rebuild and one of those nasty creatures comes rolling up to your front door with their special nuclear-shielded van to assume command and control of your home and property in order to “govern” what’s left of us.

Better think about it… It is why I gave most of our dehydrated food away early in the process. I’d rather they don’t know I’m here.

Yes, it will. The reality is that the median wealth of the US is under $40k. So, effectively, half the population has very little in savings and pensions. Half the US population is either working poor, or welfare poor. They don’t have any assets or pensions that will be affected by inflation. Their issues will be that they will not be able sustain their current relatively high standards of living, which has been funded by the enormous public and private accumulation of debt. That debt was always going to be unsustainable.

So, those folks have generally been living beyond what their contributions deserved. I have no real sympathy for that group. They have been living at a standard perhaps 40% above what was real and sustainable. That was always going to collapse.

The next band, say between the 50th and 75th wealth percentiles, will also not likely be hit much on assets, as they don’t have much in cash savings, either. They may be somewhat protected by say their home equity. If they are relying on pensions, of any sort, they may very well be majorly screwed. And they will be hit via the rising costs of goods. Their ability to fund new cars, igizmos, lattes, big screens, etc. will be reduced significantly.

And so that leaves the top bands. Those bands will continue more or less unaffected, in my opinion. It is within those bands where the hard assets are held. Hard assets will retain their relative values, for the most part. They also have enough disposable income to absorb increases, and will be the most likely to be able to increase income in line with the inflation.

All bets are off if inflation goes hyper of course. At his is assuming it stays below say 20% a year.

So, those relying on welfare, pensions, or middle class jobs are going to feel a lot of pain. The top 25% will feel a lot less, and of course the very top, say the top 10%, will largely not be affected at all by 10% inflation. In fact, they may benefit significantly, as they may be able to pick up assets at fire sale prices.

The US has lived enormously beyond its means overall. Huge and untold amounts have flowed to the elites. But even more incredible amounts have flowed to govt drones and welfare parasites and those that have accumulated large levels of private debt or who have benefitted from public expenditure, owing to the fact that there are a couple hundreds of millions of them.

This shit has to be unwound. There are by some estimates 200 trillion dollars of liabilities out there. That has to be pulled back or erased (erased it will be via inflation). It cannot be repaid. Living off that kind of debt is not sustainable. So here comes the pain.

The sanctions are already destroying the ‘West’ by popping the derivative ponzi on energy, bonds and currencies (see the yen – the periphery always dies first, then EU, then us) The Bond market derivatives are in Quadrillions. But the public will never understand or care that this is the all-important flush of humanity.

So, how about this: Someone should get a map of US farmland and:
1) color in RED all the US farmland acres PERMANENTLY switched to “half the energy for twice the price and no baseload stability” sources like solar panels and windmills. Then
2) color in RED all the acres of prime US farmland permanently destroyed by UN-mandate-driven USDA Farm Service Agency “Conservation Reserve Program” using eminent domain take US farmland and dump liquid carbon there for ‘terraforming’ (at least 4 million acres officially and PERMANENTLY destroyed so far this year)
3) color in RED all the farmland PERMANENTLY grabbed by FED Welfare Queen trillionaires (fat with government rewards for losses, COVID handouts, free FED cash to buy stock options and buybacks) like Gates, Murdoch, Howard Fink (Blackrock satanist) Warren Buffet and Charlie “I am entitled to welfare for billionaires and you are just envious lazy serfs” Munger, Monsanto-Bayer etc.
4) then calculate how much farmland is left in truly private hands to feed us and the world and color it in BLUE on the US farmland map.

Those tiny BLUE specs will be “us” (Oliver Twist begging for a bowl of slop from Satan) and the giant RED area will be “them”. And they will say “we have perfected Fidel Castro’s slave system, you get a less-than-subsistance food rationing book (if you shut up and blindly obey all orders) and it is too expensive for serfs to have cars and fuel or pay for digital fines from Buttigeig’s new FED satellite digital ticketing scam. And most small businesses have been destroyed. The FED and Corporate Monopoly Welfare Queen elites get everything, you get nothing and like it”.

That map may something that even some idiots would understand.

The US doesn’t need to feed the world. Nor should it. Feeding people who can’t feed themselves always – always – leads to disaster. The US has many times more food capacity than it needs. It just needs to be aligned locally and not fed to cattle and pigs.

Be sure to fill in purple all the farm land made into slab construction housing developments with the property tax to pay for “services”, and then the four lane roads to commute them into a town to the local starbucks.

The wild card is Putin who is a graduate of Klaus Schwab’s “young global leader” program. I’ve seen photos of him with Schwab. Could be he’s just playing his part, like all the rest??

Putin can be “part of the totalitarian theatre” and still be a Mother Russia nationalist.
He just will not let the Schwab Nazis subsume him and his native culture.
He would rather split the global totalitarian pie 3 ways: Schwab Nazis – CHICOM Maoist Racist Despots – Moscow Mafia all get a slice of the global pie but do not merge into one seamless globalist entity (which is what the Schwab-CIA-Gates-Transhumanist gang insists on, hence the conflict).
The global currency battle (already in live ammo WWIII) should have made that clear to all by now.

It’s easy to look up the Trump family history and see who/what they made their fortune with. DJT is not what people believe him to be.
His allegiance is to Israel more than the USA, but America is where the money comes from. Israel is a parasite state existing off the tax blood of Germany and USA, LOOK IT UP. Look up the foreign aid, it’s really easy if you’re not in denial of facts.

No matter how you slice it, the Schwab WEF Nazis are diametrically opposed to Putin’s Mother Russia plan in all fundamental respects.
– Russian Orthodox friendly vs. aetheist; hetero and family friendly vs. trans-gender transhuman AI “replacement” of humanity; fossil fuel efficient and abundant vs. ‘starve the serfs out of cheap energy and into fake green only affordable by elites’; commodity-based currency backed by gold vs. derivative fraud and fake collateral sustained by the Cantillon effect of zero percent fiat for elites and penury and debt slavery for all others; Mother Russia as an independent enclave vs. globalist control of all humans and all regions without exception.
Remember, it is the Azov Nazis (fed by the Schwab-CIA-Soros-Romney-Kolomoisky-Zelensky alliance) against Moscow in Ukraine. This 21st Century Hitler regime launched its own Operation Barbarosa in 2014 with the UKR coup and bioweapons build-up. Putin is ruthless but he is not a clueless incompetent sociopath like Stalin. He knew that reality required an “us or them” stance long before the Swastikas reached Moscow’s gate.
If Putin cuts a deal with the Schwab Nazis it will be to codify Mother Russia apart from globalist fiat and military control. Absolutely nothing suggests a merger here. How it happens is the only question. Either through the Greatest Depression in the West caused by sanctions and de-dollarization, or through WW III. Either of which will end the West as we know it.

I blame a government built for criminals, by criminals and the stupid Americans that enabled them. Like Carroll Quigley said in his last public interview ” I think it is absolutely tragic, it is shameful, it is sinful, that Western Civilization is going to go down the drain. ”

It’s baked in the usury bomb Protestant fags dropped on the West with their so called Reformation and outside of Divine intervention, I see no recourse for turning this worm eaten ship around.

But hey, if we just vote a little harder for the GOP wing of criminal Congress and they take back the House , we might just be able to MAGA on, at least until the food runs out …yeah that’s the ticket….reeeee

Very deep and penetrating analysis Jim. More so than 99% of Americans are capable of digesting. Hell, it was a lot for me to digest. You touched on it all. The main point, IMO being that the average American will bear the brunt and pain, of the diminishment of their standard of living. Thats already happening. Most still cant see, or comprehend how bad it will become. Back of the envelope math suggests we need about 200 million less people to again become a going concern. The amount we produce in real things versus what we consume is so out of whack that everyone in the world but us now notices.

Today we demanded to receive a product that we refuse to pay for, based on elite privilege and American exceptionalism. All the world will take notice. It would be a stellar show if Putin flared off all the nat gas Europe and the hegemon feel entitled too. Putin could sit in the front row eating popcorn whilst laughing at the lamentations of Glow-blow-homo.

Bravo Admin – I am on your page 100%. I remember preparing for the mushroom clouds in the 1960s & 70s which is why I am writing my book Part 2 now and doing as you recommend – prepare and make Plan B.

We are fortunate in our little cottage in Bruton, UK with a massive bunker/basement below us. The site used to be a sawmill many years ago and they never filled in the cavern when they built the complex in the 1970s – probably because of the scares at the time. We plan to get down to the southern hemisphere before the blow-up, if not, then we will hunker down as they say:

A few things are becoming clearer as time goes on.

1st The Globalist wet dream of a one world government and currency is done. We are headed towards a multipolar political and financial world.

2nd Our history is largely fake.

3rd The debt is not only unsustainable, it is now officially unpayable.

4th Things will end badly for creditors who don’t know when they’ve lost.

5th Until the dust settles stay out of debt and hold hard assets.

6th The emperor is dangerous but not as powerful as we thought he was. Act accordingly.

7th Things are going to be very uncomfortable for a while.

When Russia exposes the “pandemic” lie, abandons its vax policy, decouples from a digital currency, rejects Agenda 2030 – THEN maybe you could argue they are anti-globalist.

Like the author of the Off Guardian article, I would love for Putin to be anti-globalist. But I’ve been fooled too many times to believe it’s true. Remember about a year ago several heads of smaller states were disappeared or ended up dead when they tried to resist the Covid narrative and refuse vaccines.

Is Russia REALLY “fighting globalism” in Ukraine?

Our current macroeconomic picture:

1) Inflation worse than 1979.
2) Debt-to-GDP as bad as 1946.
2) Buffet Indicator (Total Market Cap to GDP) worse than 1999.
3) Housing Bubble arguably worse than 2007
4) Margin Debt arguably greater than 1929.

Essentially take the worst economic conditions of the past 100 years across the board and sum them up.

Great article. The only quibble is continuing to push the narrative of Nazism (a.k.a. National Socialists) as a far-right ideology. The political spectrum is essentially Big Government on the left and Small Government on the right.

More specifically, at the very extremes, on the left is a centralized authoritarian government with zero individual liberty; on the right is a decentralized anarchy (total individual liberty).

When you understand this, it is plain to see that a “far-right” Nazi (or any other statism advocate for that matter) is impossible.

Of course, the media and academia continue to tout the “far-right” Nazi garbage because it helps further their aims by confusing the populace. Sadly, it’s a campaign that has worked to perfection.

The author keeps forgetting to put the three parenthesis around ‘cabal’ , ‘elites’, ‘handlers’ ‘bankers’ and such. We all know (((who))) they are.
And yes, this is all done to strengthen redchina, as (((their))) end goal is that redchina is their next stop; (((they))) have sucked everything out of Russia, Europe and now America that they think they can, so on to the ‘wanderers’ next host. Russia still has some natural resources and lots of farmable land, so (((they))) want the two nations to cozy up. Redchina is a paradise to them – billions of mindless slaves with no concern for human life and millennia of abject poverty and servitude to government. Says so in their talmud – check it out yourself if you dont believe me. We are all low animals – goyim – to (((them))) and are here only to serve (((them))) and their wants. Our lives are nothing.
Only II Chronicles 7:14 and a lot of house cleaning afterwards will save us.

Someone somewhere asks: “How did you come to realize the Bible was true?”

The dawning answer: “Gradually, then all of a sudden.”

JQ writes:

“Only bad guys, willing to sell their souls, are ever elevated to positions of power.”

A most accurate statement.

Luke 4:5-7 KJB… “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.”

For 2,000 some-odd years God has given mankind a pass. A free pass to eternal life. It is His grace taken in vain that’s brought the world to this point in time. Evil has naturally flourished with the devil elevating who he will to positions of power in this world. I’ve no idea how much longer God will be longsuffering with us. If you’ve not accepted the gift that Christ’s death, burial and resurrection is, time sure seems to be running short.

Romans 5:8 KJB… “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Right there is ultimate truth; the ultimate power to save unworthy souls like ours.

Romans 1:16 KJB… “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Paul penned these inspired words back when it was still his function to go first to his Jewish brethren. By the end of the book of Acts such was no longer the case.

Acts 28:28 KJB… “Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.”

The saving gospel of grace is still open to one and all. Avail yourselves of it while there is still time. There is nothing more can be done for us than what’s already been done. Prepare accordingly, begin right here. Grace and peace…

I see Bidet is trying desperately to once again to deny he said, what he said, this time about deposing Putin.
Given the US sorted history with attempting to, or actually overthrowing other countries leaders, ( Noriega, Saddam, Assad, Gaddafi, Castro, Ortega, Marcos etc. etc ) I would expect Russia to take this seriously, and not just chalk it up to the ramblings of a senile old coot. Bidet pushes the hands of the doomsday clock a little closer to 12:00.
