Ping to Threat Matrix 2023!

For historical reference TM2022 link is

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4026005/posts?page=1#1

Established in 2001, after the 9/11 attack on America and now in its 22nd year, this thread is designed to identify threats to America, both internal and external, and evaluate the probability of those threats occurring and the extent of potential damage. Discussions may stray into ‘tinfoil’ territory, but the goal is to peel back and confirm information so we can make informed decisions and actions. Incredible as it seems, “tinfoil” conspiracy theories have fast become realities so they can no longer be ignored outright, but must be evaluated and compared to current events.

2022 has been “historic”:
- Record inflation
- Record illegal immigration
- Record crime
- Record gas prices
- Record market losses not seen since 1871.
- U.S. housing market is experiencing its second-biggest home price correction of the post-World War II era.
- Unprecedented prime lending rate increases.

I expect 2023 to be even worse as we are facing:
- The potential for a serious and deep recession
- Further movement towards implementing the goals of the WEF via its “global reset”
- Combat in Ukraine that could spill out into other parts of Europe
- Russian nuclear threats
- China making a move on Taiwan – breaking analysis
- Israel and Iran finally directly going at it.
- Other political turmoil growing globally over a wide range of issues.
- Potential for a wide variety of Black Swan events to create even greater problems.

It has been my pleasure to continue this thread over the past few years. This thread hopefully is continuing the goals of when it started.

For those who care, my posts reflect my scanning of the interwebs to provide me with early warning concerning factors that can endanger my life and family. Yes, I’m what many would call a “prepper”, and proudly accept that characterization.

How can something happening half way around the world affect me personally? Wuhan virus, my friend is but one recent example. I noted it in TM Dec 2019 and was prepared when chaos hit in 2020.

Other events have secondary and tertiary affects that reach us via shortages and inflation – fossil fuel prices are the most common, as well as economic impacts. I simply share news items and often my opinions that shape my actions and preparations.

My posts are broken down into specific topics and regions. I highlight and evaluative opensource reports in those areas in regard to how it will affect the US. Sometimes it feels like trying to drink from a fire hose – even more so following 2022.

So buckle up for the ride. This is an open thread that I want to continue as a clearing house of tidbits of intelligence contributed by the FR community so that we are all aware of what’s happening and what the impacts of those events will be. Knowledge is power

I can’t shake the feeling that inhabitants of Constantinople must have had when Medmed II was shelling the walls of the city to soften it up for conquest.

But instead of artillery shells hitting us, we have misinformation, economic warfare, and bioweapon attacks.

We will soon get a taste of starvation if the globalists and China have their way.
