The mistake that we are being encouraged to make is to believe that all our woes will shortly be at an end. Perhaps the elites will allow that we could, just possibly, have gotten there sooner were it not for an overabundance of caution on their part (better safe than sorry, though), but get there we shall. Covid restrictions will become a thing of the past and we will be reminded of the fact that they were only ever going to be temporary anyway. They will gloss over their ongoing culpability in hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of deaths, and Build Back Better will be on the down low, albeit briefly. They will keep some of the powers they awarded themselves, just in case. But, nonetheless, this year will start to resemble normality.
If we accept this make believe we are idiots, because we will be buying into the narrative that decrees that Covid was a genuine pandemic, when there is no evidence to substantiate that claim. We will be accepting, implicitly, that the measures imposed upon us have been lifted because the 'science' so dictated. And we would be ignoring the fact that governments the world over have repeatedly demonstrated, for decades, that they care not for what we believe and consider themselves a superior caste. Why on earth would they be relinquishing control over our fates unless they either recognized that they had no choice, or had other similar schemes already coming to the boil? It makes no sense. They might back off briefly, if they find progress momentarily impeded, but they are not going to let the fruits of many years of toil whither on the vine. Remember, they know better than us and the sooner they can get back to demonstrating that self evident truth, the sooner progress can resume in earnest.
The United States will, in all probability, lead the way into this glorious tomorrow. Domestically, while it may seem as though the federal government's power is still capable of being circumscribed by the states, they have other ways of turning the screw. Uncooperative governors, including those of a Republican persuasion, can frequently be neutered by a RINO (Republican In Name Only) legislature, big business, federal judges or a combination of same. Even DeSantis, in Florida, has suffered the indignity of Executive Orders being stayed by regime friendly judges and ignored by unfriendly school boards, while the allegedly Republican Congress is busying itself passing laws protecting hospitals from the consequences of their own corruption. If that doesn't work, federal funds can be withheld and mono-clonal antibody treatment diverted to states with a bluer tinge. Indeed, a consequence of the vast federal splurge on 'Covid relief' is increased pressure on states to either compete for their share of the spoils or risk being left behind. The more control that the Feds have over the purse strings, the better they can induce dependence on the government's munificence; as a consequence, it becomes more difficult for the state to resist assimilation.
What is needed is another state of emergency. Of course, the best way to circumvent any reluctance by red states (in particular) to hit the panic button again would be to make the next crisis – or combination of crises – so compelling that it would be negligent to even hesitate. I think it highly likely, given the trajectory of history, the time pressure that the Democrats are under (with the mid-terms looming), the failure of their legislative programme and the overweening arrogance that afflicts the ruling class, that the calendar year will not have elapsed before the US (and the rest of the West) are plunged back into the authoritarian quagmire. The list of potential trigger events cannot be said to be lacking in quantity or scope. I have noted some of these recently. This essay is intended as an update and an assessment of which particular crises are in pole position.
My previous attempt to read the tea leaves came up with four likely scenarios:
A financial meltdown, triggered by a stock market collapse or ransomware attack.
Yet another pandemic.
A false flag domestic terrorism attack of some magnitude, or a pre-emptive crackdown on 'Far Right extremists'.
A supply chain breakdown of essentials such as food.
Nearly three weeks have passed since that assessment and yet all are still in play. One other possibility, a war with Russia, seems to still be a goer, although it may have more to do with the burgeoning relationship between Germany and Russia via the Nordstream oil pipeline than anything else. Three is a crowd in any relationship. So, which is it most likely to be? And which would advance the cause the most?
Financial meltdown
That a stock market implosion is in our collective future is not much of a secret. Values climbed ever higher during lock-downs and in defiance of every cautionary marker, largely because a large chunk of the money loaned to banks was then used by companies to buy back their own stock, thus keeping values artificially high. The Fed printed money by the bucket-load (printing three centuries worth of bills in two years)(1) and, despite the current market turmoil in some sectors, inflows into stocks are soaring.(2) This makes very little sense. US national debt has passed the $30 trillion mark for the first time in history (3), inflation is over 9% which is the highest rate in over 40 years (4)(5) and the dreaded interest rate rise by the Fed is finally on the cards.(6) Already, the Midwest and the South of the US , the poorest parts of the country, are being hit the worst, with prices rising at 2% higher than the national average.(7)
The Federal Reserve has presided over a massive transfer of wealth from the taxpayer to the big banks and has utterly failed to protect the economy. They are now in a trap of their own making. Even a modest rise in interest rates will cause markets to fall and could easily precipitate a recession. But impending financial disaster is far from being the only game in town.
Another 'pandemic'
If the elites are to play their favorite game once more, hard on the heels of their last effort, and inflict upon us the fifth 'pandemic' of the past twenty years, it would be unsurprising; and it might attract a little more critical scrutiny than Covid has. At present, the obvious contender is whatever hemorrhagic fever is allegedly romping it's way around the Chinese mainland. And, of course, the Olympic Games is the perfect super spreader event. We shall have to wait and see, but it may be that a different contender is being prepped.
At base, there will be (in fact, already is) a need to account for the huge numbers of excess deaths with which the West has been afflicted since at least mid 2021. A large number of these have been from heart problems, not that this truth has made its way into the narrative. Indeed, an explanation for that specific phenomenon may continue to be avoided. However, it's inevitable that somebody somewhere will eventually decide that all the ducks are in a row and it's time to broach the subject of serious immune issues with the rubes. It may already be happening.
I've seen two recent reports which strike me as highly suspicious. The Netherlands are reporting that they have discovered a highly virulent new AIDS variant, which allegedly originates around twenty years ago, is now making itself known, with impeccable timing.(8) A week later, data from the UK shows that the 'vaccinated' elderly and vulnerable are far more likely to die of Covid than the 'unvaccinated'. They aren't the only age group experiencing problems, either:
Figure 1
In basic terms, the immune systems of the 'vaccinated' are on the way out. It has never been the case that the 'vaccine' might be ineffective but harmless. It's effective at causing harm and as time continues to pass, the remaining immune capability will gradually deplete and entirely vanish. At present the elderly, being the first lucky recipients of the 'vaccine' roll-out programme (and additionally being the cohort with the least responsive immune responses) are the ones in the cross-hairs, but they won't be alone for long. And what ails them is known as Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS).
“The fully vaccinated fare so badly against Covid-19 now because vaccine induced antibodies against the Alpha spike protein are next to useless against Omicron. So the underlying progressive immune system damage wrought by incessant spike protein production has almost nothing to hide behind, nothing to offset itself against.”(9)
Clearly, a severely compromised immune system won't leave the afflicted open to Covid alone; other ailments will also prosper. And, as is well known, AIDS itself is not what kills people. AIDS is an enabler of other potentially lethal conditions. In any event, I find it coincidental that random explanations for symptoms that occur as the result of the 'vaccines' are starting to appear. It reminds me of the several heart diseases that are suddenly rearing their heads (allegedly), never having been previously noted, but which can conveniently take the blame for all excess deaths.(10)(11) It's important to note that the China variant is very unlikely to be an actual, verifiable problem. News of its existence are fodder for the masses, not truthful accounts.
False flag events
As I have yet to acquire informants within the FBI, I am unable to confirm or deny the existence of any such plan, nor its specifics. I would note, however, that the Feds have a long and inglorious history of using 'assets' in the active commission of crimes; what are known in the trade as participating informants. There are statutory limits on the role that the FBI (by extension) can play in criminal conspiracies, but these regulations and others do not seem to be an inhibitor to the agency. The ongoing Governor Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy case is one such example – of the 14 men originally arrested, at least five were either government agents of undercover informants. Defense lawyers, in filing motions for the dismissal of the case, stated:
“Essentially, the evidence here demonstrates egregious overreaching by the government’s agents, and by the informants those agents handled. When the government was faced with evidence showing that the defendants had no interest in a kidnapping plot, it refused to accept failure and continued to push its plan.”(12)
Of course, the existence of radical extremists is vital to a regime that wishes to create an impression that the future of the country is at stake. That's why the riot at the Capitol on 6th January 2021 has been labelled an insurrection, despite the fact that none of the many protesters have actually been charged with that offence. There are also a number of rioters, in fact the most prominent of them, who have never been apprehended, let alone charged. These are people advocating entry to the Capitol building, instructing the people who made the first breach in the barriers, those carrying walkie-talkies and loudspeakers; what might be termed the on-the-ground commanders. Add to this the many incidences of the Capitol Police unlocking magnetically controlled doors to allow access and even escorting rioters into the building and we have multiple anomalies and ample evidence of undercover operatives leading the rioters.
A further benefit (for the administration) has been the establishment of a Congressional Committee investigating the events of January 6th, which has not been formed within the bipartisan rules, but which has nonetheless awarded itself the all-encompassing powers of a legitimate entity and has then abused the privilege by harassing any Republican who might still be deemed a threat. The fact that very few outside the Washington Beltway care anything for these machinations has either not occurred to them or doesn't matter to them. As long as, at the end of their interminable hearings, they can flourish a piece of paper which justifies yet more sanctions against their enemies, they will be content.
I suspect that the opportunities for further false flag operations are going to be plentiful. Naturally, if Biden follows the template provided to him by Trudeau and continues to abuse all those he disagrees with, he will stand a reasonable chance of provoking a genuine reaction at some point. But that might not be controllable; far better to have the covert hand on the tiller. If so, it will be an incident which involves a large loss of life and which can be leveraged against as many dissenters as possible. It may well be another example of the phenomenon we have already witnessed; make it so egregious that even the skeptical will have a hard time believing that the regime is capable of it. Remember, Putin destroyed apartment blocks with bombs (with hundreds of deaths resulting) in order to achieve his ends.(13) Are today's American autocrats any less ruthless?
Food and supply chain issues
Whereas the three scenarios already sketched may or may not happen within the next year, the partial collapse of the food supply is all but inevitable, because certain problems are already seeded and cannot be undone. In short, there are fertilizer issues; or, more precisely, a catastrophic shortage of ammonium nitrate and 48% of the food which the world is dependent upon is produced using nitrogen fertilizer.
Fertilizer of this type is made using gas; in fact, 80% of the cost of producing ammonia fertilizer is gas and the huge rises in gas prices has caused what fertilizer there is to also rise in price, at least three fold. A ton of ammonia cost $110 to produce in 2020. In some cases, that cost has risen to $1,000 a year later. On top of that, there have been some rather curious production shutdowns. In August 2021, when Hurricane Ida swept through Louisiana, CF Industries closed the largest ammonia factory in the world for an inexplicable 10 days. This while simultaneously closing two other factories in the UK, which they only reopened when the UK government paid them a substantial subsidy; these factories were producing two thirds of the UK requirement. There were other factory closures in Belgium, Germany, Lithuania, Ukraine, Austria and the Netherlands. These are not insignificant.
Farmers in the US are swapping production from corn to soybeans, because the latter requires much less in the way of fertilizer; if they can get hold of seeds, that is. Yet another shortage. This is one way of removing choice and chance from the equation. If something doesn't exist, it cannot be chosen. There is an echo of a familiar pattern here. Computer chips (from Taiwan and Japan) and hydroxychloroquine were both removed from the global marketplace by fires in factories at inopportune moments; inopportune for the consumer, in any event. Now a fertilizer that is crucial to the well-being of huge swathes of humanity is effectively AWOL and not only is the public unaware, governments do not seem to be doing anything to ameliorate the coming disaster. If the crops can't be sown because the fertilizer doesn't exist, come harvest time 2022, there will be some issues.
None of this has happened by accident. The energy policies of the EU and the US, in particular the rush to renewables and the shutting down of fossil fuel technologies, have resulted in an unstable, under-powered, expensive grid, which was the intent. I say that because, zealots or not, C follows B follows A and anybody with an IQ in the three figure range could predict what was inevitably going to happen. For the first time in decades, 2020 saw the US become energy independent and a net exporter of petroleum. By immediately ditching pipelines, drilling projects, fracking and other measures, Biden has ensured that the US has returned to energy dependence and has managed to nearly double the price of oil in a year (this in addition to his exploits in the gas market).
Biden's misadventures in Ukraine and his seeming desperation to taunt the Russians into an unnecessary invasion so that he can apply sanctions, will only hurt the West further. As it is, there is a moratorium on Russian exports of ammonium nitrate until the end of March at the earliest – any further saber rattling is unlikely to improve matters, but maybe that's the point. It's always good to have someone to blame, especially when it takes the spotlight away from Biden's own fecklessness.
It's not only ammonia, either:
“Behind the growing global fertilizer shortage crisis is the five-fold explosion in the price of methane or natural gas as it is usually called. This has its origins in deliberate “anti-carbon” green policies of the Biden Administration and of the European Union with its “Fit for 55” program to cut CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030, including methane or natural gas. The Biden administration has forced disinvestment in USA shale gas, and the forced expansion of highly-subsidized Green Energy such as wind and solar have created an unreliable electric grid....As nuclear and coal plants are taxed into extinction for the Zero Carbon madness, prices for oil and natural gas are exploding.”(14)
They go about these things in a sneaky, all around the houses way. At COP 26, the globalists signed a joint EU-US proposal to cut methane gas emissions by 30% by 2030. Why? Because they can and what better way to reduce our consumption of meat because, you've guessed it, animals are the biggest emitters. Expect more pressure on gas prices, fertilizers, campaigns against meat, the usual ESG investment tyranny and a load of talk about sustainable agriculture, which will simply mean soaring food prices.
There are one or two other reasons to wonder about what lies ahead. Moderna's CEO sold $400 million of his own stock and deleted his Twitter account. Pfizer are warning the market of bad news upcoming. They have also managed to persuade the FDA to slow down the release of clinical trials documents; instead of the first big tranche arriving on 1st March, it will now be two months later. It would seem that both companies are preparing to ride out a storm. Additionally, the American Freedom Convoy is soon to set off from California to Washington, a distance of nearly 3,000 miles. Given what is currently happening to their comrades in Canada, I find it extraordinary that they are so public with their plans and their identities and so slow in their organisation of the protest. Something doesn't feel right about it. I cannot see how it will be a success; the opportunity to infiltrate their numbers, conduct false flag operations, discredit them, are too numerous.
And, of course, we have the mid-terms coming up in November. Due to the fact that the Democrats have not, so far, managed to federalize the election process and institutionalize fraud, they will have to rely on the old fashioned methods that have served them so well. The problem they have is that there is now much greater scrutiny of the process, not by the Republican machine, but by citizen journalists and alternative media. Additionally, they are hideously unpopular and a number of states have actually made cheating more difficult than it was in 2020. It is extremely difficult to see them hanging on to effective power later this year, but losing is not something that they will countenance.
Conclusion
As Lenin pointed out, “every society is just three meals away from complete chaos.” Already, at least two members of the G7 are severely compromised and either forced into subsidies or into willful blindness by their inability to guarantee affordable energy and plentiful food in this coming year. The US, in particular, is charting a course that flirts with disaster in at least four separate ways. Further, the circumstances fueling the passage are all of the regime's making. Huge hikes in fuel costs were not inevitable. The Fed didn't have to print 40% of all the dollars that have ever existed in the past twelve months. Lethal 'vaccines' definitely shouldn't have been mandated. The outcomes that have flowed from these choices were entirely predictable and guaranteed to damage the Democrats' standing with the electorate.
While some commentators are of the view that the regime is running scared and finally waking up to the fact that their policies are unpopular, I don't buy it. The administration doesn't seem to care what the people think and never has done. After all, they haven't enacted any policies that a majority of the country agrees with, so why would they think that they are going to maintain control of Congress in the mid-terms? Additionally, the approval ratings for Biden and Harris are subterranean. And yet, while state governors roll back mandates (even Democrat ones), the federal government's intransigence is marked.
I don't think that the regime is just going to wander into an electoral annihilation in November. It doesn't matter how much they try and tinker with the re-districting process, it won't be enough. The most obvious inference to draw is that the mid-terms either won't take place at all or they will be entirely mail-in. Perhaps the provocation will be ramped up by blatant fraud, which can either be met by an actual insurrection or a false fag operation that can be made to look that way. Perhaps there will be public order problems before then, when prices increase further and the population finds itself short of basic commodities. Or perhaps the much anticipated financial crash will land. Perm any number, or combination, from the four main possibilities. The only unlikely scenario is that the regime will go gently into that good night.
