Why Every Person In America Needs To Become A Prepper During The Second Half Of 2020
It has been on my heart to write this article for a few days, but I knew that it wouldn’t be easy to write. 2020 has already been one of the worst years in modern U.S. history, and it looks like the next six months are going to be extremely challenging as well. But even though most Americans are expecting that things will return to “normal” in 2021 and beyond, the truth is that the “perfect storm” that we are witnessing is only in the very early stages. All of the old cycles are ending, all of the bubbles are bursting, and we are starting to experience the consequences of decades of incredibly foolish decisions. So even though the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic, the truth is that things are going to get progressively worse as the years move along. That means that you should use this period of time to prepare for what is ahead of us, because at some point the window of opportunity to prepare will be closed for good.
COVID-19 should have been a wake up call for all of us. Lockdowns were implemented very suddenly once the virus started to spread in the U.S., and shortages of key items began to happen. To this day, many retailers are still limiting the number of items that you can buy in certain categories. Hopefully this has helped people to understand that if you have not stocked up in advance, you may not be able to go out and get what you need when a major crisis strikes.
During the initial stages of this pandemic, a lot of people ended up being stuck at home without enough supplies. In the event of a truly historic emergency, you can certainly survive without toilet paper, but if you run out of food you could find yourself in big trouble quite quickly.
The good news is that COVID-19 is not going to kill us all. About half a million people around the world have died so far, and the final death toll will be a lot lower than the tens of millions that died during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 to 1920.
But if our society was extremely ill-prepared for a pandemic of this nature, what is going to happen when a pandemic that is much more severe hits us?
Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before a killer plague sweeps across the planet, and the Bible tells us that there will be “pestilences” in the last days. If you find yourself isolated at home for an extended period of time as millions of others are dying from a virus, will you be able to survive on what you have already stored up?
If not, you need to get to work.
Big economic problems are ahead as well. So far in 2020, more than 47 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits, more than 100,000 businesses have permanently closed their doors, and it is being projected that U.S. GDP will decline by 46.6 percent on an annualized bases during the second quarter. Those are absolutely disastrous numbers, but so far trillions of dollars of emergency government spending has helped to ease the pain.
But those emergency measures were only meant to get us through a few months, and it is now becoming clear that this new economic depression will be with us for a very long time to come.
Of course deteriorating economic conditions will fuel even more civil unrest. We have seen rioting, looting, arson and violence in city after city, and much more civil unrest is on the horizon.
If you live in one of our major urban areas, you may want to move while you still can. Due to a huge surge in demand, property prices in the most desirable small towns and rural areas are already starting to go through the roof.
On top of everything else, food shortages are starting to occur all over the globe. According to the head of the UN, we are on the verge of seeing “unimaginable devastation and suffering around the world”…
The U.N. chief on Thursday warned the largest gathering of world leaders since the coronavirus pandemic began that it will cause “unimaginable devastation and suffering around the world,” with historic levels of hunger and famine and up to 1.6 billion people unable to earn a living unless action is taken now.
Giant swarms of locusts the size of major cities are devouring crops in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, African Swine Fever has already killed about one-fourth of all the pigs in the entire world, and crazy weather patterns have been playing havoc with crop production all over the planet.
And now on top of everything else COVID-19 is greatly disrupting food distribution systems all over the world.
We have never seen so many severe threats to global food production occur simultaneously, and the Bible clearly tells us that there will be “famine” in the last days.
Meanwhile, a major war could erupt in the Middle East at any moment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he will begin the process of annexing portions of Judea and Samaria in July, and Israel’s Arab neighbors have promised a very forceful response if that actually happens.
The region has constantly been on the precipice of war for years, and this could potentially be the trigger that finally causes it to happen.
If everything that I have discussed so far wasn’t enough, the planet that we all live on is becoming increasingly unstable. We have witnessed a number of very alarming earthquakes this week, and a truly catastrophic event could literally happen at any moment.
As my regular readers already know, I am particularly concerned about seismic activity on the west coast and about the potential for a historic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone.
But even considering everything that I just shared with you, there is no other time in human history that I would have rather been alive than right now.
All of human history has been building up to this point, and we are so fortunate to be living during this moment.
However, it is going to be exceedingly difficult to thrive during the historic events that are ahead if you have not made any preparations for what is coming.
I realize that things may seem very chaotic now, but the truth is that this is your window of opportunity to prepare.
I would take full advantage of that opportunity, because the clock is ticking.

“and the Bible clearly tells us that there will be “famine” in the last days.“
Oh dear, that’s settled then.
Ignoring the Bible-inspired end-times superstition, the author is correct about the upcoming upheavals in his part of the world, upheavals that will not take place in mono-ethnic countries like Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia or China, despite them being affected by the virus as well.
Trump, the virus, warm weather and the Floyd G. farce are combined a toxic brew that has brought to the surface an ethnic conflict that has been brewing under the surface for decades in the US, no need for biblical drivel.

We’re in overshoot, of course things will continue to deteriorate. Getting down to a sustainable number of bipedal hominids will be no problem for Gaia, big problem for the virus that is humanity. And prepping should begin with relocating away from large cities where collapse is in progress as we text.

This comes from a site where its goal is to share Jesus Christ with everyone. So in other words, a church.
When I was a child, I stopped listening to the folks at church when they told me evolution and science were untrue, because they couldn’t create solid matter by squeezing air in their hands tightly, so obviously theories like planet formation were nonsense. I asked if they could jump high enough to escape earth’s gravity, and of course, got frownie faces from the “leaders”.
For fast crash doomers of all stripes, it’s ALWAYS doom next month or in six months or next year. This pandemic is merely the latest excuse to garner eyeballs.
Yeah, this is nasty. Emotionally for everyone who isn’t too stupid to think it’s a conspiracy / fake. Financially for many, though in most of the first world, they’re trying to help, ineptly though that may be.
And yes, SOME DAY a much worse pandemic that kills many millions or even billions will occur. Almost certainly long after we and our children and our grand children are dead.
I’ve gradually done some prepping re canned food and bottled water, in case food supplies get relatively tight or meat gets very expensive. (I’ve done it when / where prices are not high, to ensure I’m not taking stuff others are scrambling for.) That’s prudent, and hopefully it’s not needed.
But all this prep worship mainly wastes money that could be funding one’s retirement in a long term portfolio. Unless one wants to live in the bug out bungalow and eat the canned and freeze dried food (and freeze dried is very expensive), given the odds bugging out will REALLY mean long term happy survival, that whole modern bug out fantasy is pretty silly. But of course, it brings the purveyors of doom revenue.

Note to preppers: Soy is an endocrine disruptor that is more of a toxin than it is a food. In men, it depletes testosterone, muscle mass, and other masculine traits, turning them into effeminate shells of their former selves.

Body count
Violence by far-right is among US’s most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds
Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis of domestic terrorist incidents found majority have come from far right
“In a report released last week, the Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States, CSIS analyzes 25 years of domestic terrorism incidents and finds that the majority of attacks and plots have come from the far right.
The report says “the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of rightwing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years”, with the far right launching two-thirds of attacks and plots in 2019, and 90% of those in 2020.
The report adds: “Far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators.” The second most significant source of attacks and plots in the US has been “religious extremists”, almost all “Salafi jihadists inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaida”.
The report shows the far left has been an increasingly negligible source of attacks since the mid 2000s. At that time the FBI defined arsons and other forms of property damage as domestic terrorism during a period some have called the “Green Scare”.

Europe On Alert After Unknown Radioactivity Spike Detected Over Baltic Sea
Almost a year ago Russia admitted to releasing significant amounts of radiation into the air that triggered warning alerts in the region of the far north Arctic Circle port cities of Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk, after a failed weapons test involving a “small-scale nuclear reactor” that killed Russian scientists – which was believed connected to Russia’s hypersonics program. We can’t help but recall that incident now with new reports of radiation sensors based in Scandinavia again picking up abnormal radioactivity levels in the air. Perhaps there’s some further failed weapons tests happening somewhere in the region?: “Radiation sensors in Stockholm have detected higher-than-usual but still harmless levels of isotopes produced by nuclear fission, probably from somewhere on or near the Baltic Sea, a body running a worldwide network of the sensors said on Friday,” Reuters reports.

Liberal skumbags:
Minneapolis City Council Members Enjoy Costly Private Security Detail As Push To “Defund The Police” Continues
A “veto-proof” majority of the Minneapolis City Council recently voted to abolish the city police department. And if it wasn’t for the opposition for the city’s Democratic mayor, Minneapolis would soon be sending social workers to investigate murder scenes. But when it comes to their own protection, council members apparently aren’t embracing the second amendment, like many other liberals in solid-blue states, and instead are relying on the city to hire expensive round-the-clock security after members of the council received multiple death threats. Currently, the protection is costing taxpayers $4,500 to hire security for three council members. Over the past three weeks, the bill for the city has come to more than $60,000. Here’s more from Fox 9: The City of Minneapolis is spending $4,500 a day for private security for three council members who have received threats following the police killing of George Floyd. A city spokesperson said the private security details have cost the city $63,000 over the past three weeks. The three council members who have the security detail – Andrea Jenkins (Ward 8), and Phillipe Cunningham (Ward 4), and Alondra Cano (Ward 9)– have been outspoken proponents of defunding the Minneapolis Police Department.

As Andrew Cuomo urges everyone who attended protests in the state to get tested, officials in California, in the Bay Area and LA County and the surrounding area, have warned that the protests over George Floyd’s death have contributed to the increase in daily confirmed infection totals seen in recent weeks. Now, less than a day after San Francisco mayor said she would put plans to ease more restrictions Monday on hold following a concerning uptick in new infections, Philadelphia city officials on Saturday have just warned that they are considering a similar delay, which would postpone the move into the “green phase” of the city’s reopening, CBS News reports.

China is causing more trouble:
Amid pandemic, SE Asian nations warn of ‘alarming’ South China Sea incidents
HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam and the Philippines warned of growing insecurity in Southeast Asia at a regional summit on Friday amid concerns that China was stepping up its activity in the disputed South China Sea during the coronavirus pandemic. Both Hanoi and Manila lodged protests with China in April after Beijing unilaterally declared the creation of new administrative districts on islands in the troubled waterways to which Vietnam and the Philippines also have competing claims. “Even as our region struggles to contain COVID-19, alarming incidents in the South China Sea occurred,” Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told an online meeting of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders on Friday. “We call on parties to refrain from escalating tensions and abide by responsibilities under international law,” he said. China has been pushing its presence in the Exclusive Economic Zones of other countries while claimants are preoccupied tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting the United States to call on China to stop its “bullying behaviour” there.

China is doing nothing the US hasn’t done for the last 70+ years. It is just that the US doesn’t like others doing the same without killing people. The article is exaggerated, but then it is US anti-China propaganda, nothing more. Typical on this PO site. Amerikans are the number one hypocrites of the world.
If the US doesn’t start a nuclear war, China will rule the rest of this century. Wait and see. ASEAN countries are moving toward China and away from the US and that has the US pissed/scared.
