  • Why Are Billionaires Selling Off Stocks And Building Massive Survival Bunkers?

    End of the American Dream ^ | 2/27/24 | Michael Snyder
    If you want to determine what people believe, don’t listen to what they say. Rather, closely watch what they actually do. In recent days, the stock market has been hovering near all-time record highs and business leaders have been assuring us that good days are ahead. But meanwhile many of our most famous billionaires have been doing things that indicate that they are extremely concerned about what is coming in the future. For example, during the first two months of this year Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon and Mark Zuckerberg “have all sold big chunks of shares in their own companies”…...
  • Living As Normal In The Shadow Of Impending Catastrophe

    Much of the world lives in a split reality — divided between normalcy and despair. Most adults understand that at any given time, there are any number of possible calamities bearing down on the earth. Nuclear threats from Russia and/or China could mean disaster tomorrow. Economic meltdown could be only days away. A new plague could hit with more speed and greater impact than the last one. But such fears do not change the routine patterns of daily life. Most folks will get up tomorrow morning, go to work or school, return home at the appointed time, and generally go...
  • People Need to Take Great Reset Seriously and Wake Up Before It Is Too Late, Says Michael Walsh

    People need to take seriously the Great Reset that introduces communist-style living and governance being pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), said Michael Walsh, author, filmmaker, and editor. Too many people still treat it as nothing more than a conspiracy theory, Walsh said during an interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program on Oct. 14. Walsh warned that the Great Reset promoted by the WEF, an organization commonly known for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, is, in general, “a plan to totalitarianize the world according to what the plutocracy wants, which is fewer people, less movement of people.” Klaus Schwab,...
  • Schwab’s WEF is now pushing to implant Tracking Microchips in Humans as part of The Great Reset agenda

    The World Economic Forum (WEF) is attempting to normalize the idea of implanting tracking chips into humans, via the Internet of Bodies – a highly controversial technology. The Internet of Bodies (IoB) is the biological extension of the Internet of Things (IoT) that brought us driverless cars and smart homes. As part of the Great Reset, both are part of the plans for the future of humanity devised by the elites of the World Economic Forum. The IoB confirms its belief in the eternal benefits of technology and promises to improve our health and extend our life. That’s a good...

  • Visualizing The Link Between Soaring Food Prices And Political Instability

    03/26/2022 11:07:39 AM PDT · by blam · 10 replies
    The Russian war in Ukraine has had immediate repercussions for global food markets given the countries’ role as major exporters of essential agricultural products, such as wheat, sunflower oil, barley and corn, while also affecting perishable foods like fruits and vegetables. As shown in FAO data, the price of basic food products has surged since the invasion of Ukraine after already having followed an upward trend since 2020 over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue* as they were from the beginning of the creation.In his second epistle written to encourage and warn Christians about the future, Peter warns us about a mental and spiritual condition known today as "Normalcy Bias". Normalcy Bias is a cognitive bias which leads people to not believe or minimize threat warnings. Individuals affected by this condition underestimate the likelihood of a...

    It’s just the flu, bro. Reports on Twitter (with video) show 5 politicians doing a surprise inspection of a hospital that has seen 200 people die due to Coronavirus and treated 5000 cases. It turns out that the “hospital” was empty and was just milking government funds with fake Corona patients. I don’t know what is fake news and what is not fake news in Brazil, but I do know that reported Coronavirus cases and deaths go up the more a government pays special funds for treating the disease.

    It’s just the flu, bro. Things I am not panicking about: 1. The new strain of Wuhan flu hitting China 2. People who go to parties in defiance of limits to gathering size 3. Someone nearby me sneezing or coughing 4. The Wuhan flu “outbreaks” occurring all across America 5. 16 people testing positive after going to a Florida bar 6. Celebrities who contract Coronavirus 7. Just about any media headline about CV, like the 6 above, that is meant to make me panic
  • The Normalcy Bias: What is it and how are progressives using it against us?

    05/23/2013 6:53:15 AM PDT · by ProgressingAmerica · 12 replies
    There is a fascinating piece of audio out there from Aldous Huxley titled "The Ultimate Revolution". This lecture is a lot like the book Philip Dru, in the sense that a lot of conspiracy theorist websites have had a bonanza with it, which is sad commentary. I will say that a large 70-90% of what he's saying you have to throw out the window because it's nonsense, but in the first few minutes of the lecture he says something that is incredibly profound: Well now in regard to this problem of the ultimate revolution, this has been very well summed...

    WND ^ | Arpil 5, 2013 | Patrice Lewis
    Exclusive: Patrice Lewis tries to warn distracted Americans of looming economic crash Snip: When we hear the mainstream media assuring us in soothing, condescending tones that we’re in an economic “recovery” – despite all evidence to the contrary – we want desperately to believe them. We don’t want anything to disrupt our ordinary, comfortable lives. We genuinely believe that if we cling to our normal way of life and habitual methods of doing things – despite overwhelming proof that something dangerous is looming – then everything will be OK. It can’t happen here. But the situation in Cyprus is potentially...

    Years ago when I was in junior high school, I had a shop teacher who would occasionally get exasperated with one of us and ask the question, “What makes a man be that way?” It’s a question I find myself asking many times. So what is it that keeps so many people from prepping? And how can it be overcome?To talk about that on DestinySurvival Radio yesterday was clinical psychologist Dr. Steven Futrell. He was on the show a few weeks ago and you can read about that interview here. Yesterday Steven and I dissected two broad topics–normalcy bias and...

    Human bodies don't normally fly through the air, but last year that's exactly what I witnessed while waiting for a red light to turn green. I was sitting in my Tahoe at an intersection not far from home when I heard the loud rumble of a truck engine. I couldn't quite believe my eyes when a green pick-up veered around me, raced into the intersection and plowed into a white sedan. While my mind was registering this violent accident, I saw a scarecrow fly through the air. I took a few deep breaths, tried to remember the details of how...
