(End of the American Dream)—Have you ever heard of 4 giant green comets roaring through our solar system at the same time? In all my years, I have never seen anything like this. ATLAS, LEMMON, and SWAN are all visible from Earth right now, and interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS will be visible from our planet again soon once it swings around the Sun. The vast majority of the population couldn’t care less about this extremely rare celestial spectacle, but is it really just a coincidence that 4 colossal green space rocks are hurtling past us at the exact moment in human history when global events are about to go completely haywire? I don’t have all the answers, but I am trying to ask the right questions.
All four of the comets that I am going talk about in this article were discovered by astronomers in 2025, and all of them are green.
We are being told that the green color comes from diatomic carbon in the coma of each comet…
Three newly discovered green comets are currently visible from Earth with the help of binoculars or a telescope, and a fourth—an interstellar visitor—will become visible again soon. Their unusual green glow comes from the diatomic carbon (C₂), in each comet’s coma. When sunlight breaks this molecule apart, it emits a green color around the comet’s head. The amount of C₂ depends on each comet’s unique chemical makeup.
Comet LEMMON was discovered on January 3rd of this year, and it will be closest to Earth on October 21st…
On Oct. 21, Comet Lemmon will make its closest approach to Earth, appearing in the western sky after sunset. It is already visible through binoculars or a small telescope and may become visible to the naked eye around Oct. 31 or Nov. 1, depending on sky conditions. The comet will reach perihelion, its closest point to the Sun, on Nov. 6.
Comet SWAN was just discovered last month, and it will be closest to Earth on October 20th…
Though it won’t become any brighter, Comet SWAN will reach its closest point to Earth on Oct. 20, coming within 24 million miles. It is visible in the western sky after sunset, but binoculars or a telescope or required to see it.
Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) is not as bright as the others, and it was discovered in May…
C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), discovered in May, is currently fainter than the other two but is still brightening as it approaches the Sun. Its closest solar approach is expected on Wednesday, and there’s a possibility it could disintegrate during that passage—a common fate for some comets.
The good news for skywatchers is that Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) will remain in our skies for a while, because it won’t be closest to Earth until November 25th.
Last, but certainly not least, interstellar visitor Comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered in July, and it will be closest to Earth on December 19th. According to the official NASA website, at that time it will be approximately 1.8 astronomical units away…
Comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth and will remain far away. The closest it will approach our planet is about 1.8 astronomical units (about 170 million miles, or 270 million kilometers). 3I/ATLAS will reach its closest point to the Sun around Oct. 30, 2025, at a distance of about 1.4 au (130 million miles, or 210 million kilometers) — just inside the orbit of Mars.
The interstellar comet’s size and physical properties are being investigated by astronomers around the world. 3I/ATLAS should remain visible to ground-based telescopes through September 2025, after which it will pass too close to the Sun to observe. It will reappear on the other side of the Sun by early December 2025, allowing for renewed observations.
Okay, so we have four giant green comets that are all soaring through our solar system simultaneously, and they will all make their closest approaches to Earth within a two month period.
We are supposed to believe that there is nothing strange about this at all.
Are you buying that?
I’m not.
Scientists have also recently discovered that Comet 3I/ATLAS is “spewing huge amounts of water”…
A new analysis of our solar system’s interstellar interloper, 3I/ATLAS, reveals that it’s spewing huge amounts of water — and astronomers can’t immediately explain why.
The object, which is widely believed to be comet, showed strong ultraviolet emissions that are unmistakable telltales of hydroxyl gas (OH), a byproduct of water, when astronomers imaged it with NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift space telescope before it disappeared behind the Sun. The emissions could only be spotted from space because the ultraviolet light would get absorbed in the atmosphere.
Comet 3I/ATLAS did not originate in our solar system.
So where did all of that water come from?
We aren’t talking about just a little bit of water either.
It is being reported that this comet is “ejecting water vapor at a torrential rate of about 88 pounds per second”…
Their findings, detailed in a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, argue that the presence of all this OH indicates the comet is ejecting water vapor at a torrential rate of about 88 pounds per second — around the same rate as a fire hose running at full blast, according to a press release about the findings.
The most extraordinary thing is that this was spotted happening pretty far from the Sun, at a heliocentric distance of about three astronomical units (AU) away, or three times the distance between the Earth and our star. Typically, comets stray much closer to the Sun before the water ice in their core, called a nucleus, begins to sublimate, or instantly transform from a solid to a gas. Something else must be driving all the water dumping from 3I/ATLAS — which also implies, tantalizingly, that the comet must harbor considerable stores of water for this process to keep going.
It appears that this comet has been ejecting water at a staggering rate for a very long time.
So how much water did it originally possess, and how much does it have left?
Comet 3I/ATLAS is one of the greatest mysteries that astronomers have ever encountered.
And yet the vast majority of the population does not even know that it is racing through our solar system at this very moment.
That is a shame, because I believe that what we are witnessing in the heavens right now is truly special.

Bypass Big Tech Censors
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
