The Department of (in)Justice secured more J6 wrongthink convictions last week — this time netting four Americans for “seditious conspiracy” because they were not members of Black Lives Matter or Antifa. Regime thugs Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Lisa Monaco (the titular heads of America’s Gestapo forces) actually took a victory lap and stood solemnly together while warning Americans that this is what happens to those who dissent from the federal government’s enforced truth. (If you squinted, you could almost see the Imperial Eagle flags draped behind them.)
Watching this bad theater play out as if it resembled anything close to real justice always feels like a gut punch. The federal government has spent the last two years lying about everything that happened on January 6, 2021. The liars transformed a million-person protest against election fraud into an “insurrection” — even though the people supposedly trying to “overthrow” the government arrived at the Capitol unarmed.
The government alone killed Trump voters that day, and no protesters killed anyone, but the State-controlled corporate media continue to echo fake-president-but-real-liar Joe Biden’s claims that “MAGA extremists” murdered ten or more police officers for fun. Undercover officers from numerous agencies worked not to keep the peace, but rather to spread mayhem, threaten the protesters’ safety, and entrap otherwise law-abiding Americans. A complicit news media covered up the actions of known Antifa operatives who posed as Trump-supporters while breaking windows, tossing metal barricades, and egging the crowd on. And even though a masked, gloved, and hoodie-wearing suspect threatened both Republican and Democrat politicians with pipe bombs on January 6, billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of bureaucratic man-hours allocated for the sustained persecution of Trump-supporting patriots have somehow been insufficient for America’s premier law enforcement agencies to track down the real mass casualty threat.
Judges, prosecutors, and Fascist Bureau of Investigation agents devoid of basic ethics have gone after thousands of Americans with no criminal records for minor offenses that never would have been pursued against Obama-supporting radicals. They have recommended charges for “obstructing an official proceeding,” even though leftists obstruct official government proceedings every day throughout America without any consequence. They have spent more time and money hunting down patriotic grandmothers as “domestic terrorists” than worrying about actual terrorists who mean America real harm. And all these Gestapo agents intimidating and punishing Americans for their thoughts have done so while America’s borders remain unprotected against unprecedented drug-smuggling, sex-trafficking, cartel murder, and other violent crime.
This wretched State kabuki theater has stunk to high heaven. Even though the majority of criminal charges against J6 defendants have been the kinds of simple trespass and vandalism crimes that are rarely pursued against Obama-Soros shock troops, political mercenaries posing as prosecutors and judges have spent the last two years in courtrooms lobbing rhetorical grenades like “treason,” “sedition,” “insurrection,” “attack,” “murder,” and every other kind of underhanded verbal accusation with the intention of semantically transforming small infractions into variations of rebellion and mutiny.
Few changes in venue have been granted, even though no ethical judge could reasonably believe that a Trump-supporting defendant would receive a fair trial in an area of the country that votes well over 90% for a Democrat — whether that candidate is incapacitated, a convicted criminal, an out-and-proud communist tyrant, or even dead. While actual murderers and rapists are released on bail before their trials, hundreds of J6 defendants have been locked away to perpetuate the government’s absurd propaganda that these people are so dangerous that if we let them out before their rigged trials, they’d only try to overthrow the government once again!
Of course, as soon as too many sensible observers pointed out that the U.S. government has been treating “trespassers” as if they were Pablo Escobar, then the feds stepped up their efforts to go after groups like Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, whose organized clubs made it exceptionally easy for the DOJ’s Lavrentiy Beria forced-confession-brigade to add an assortment of “conspiracy” charges to the J6 persecution mix. No need to prove actual “sedition” when “seditious conspiracy” sounds just as bad — if not worse — and requires barely anything more than two people engaging in unapproved political speech while knocking over a trash can. Heck, one of the defendants convicted for “seditious conspiracy” last week was not even in D.C. on January 6!
That’s the beauty of fed persecution, though. First, those brownshirts find a thought they would like to punish; then they look for a pre-formed group that makes a “conspiracy” easy to prove; lastly, they look for a single act of vandalism that can be framed as “force.” Voilà: like one of Beria’s convictions ready to go straight to the firing squad, you get prepackaged “seditious conspiracy” right out of the can. Ah, being a tyrant is easy-peasy in America today — especially when the State-directed media and a cabal of ideologically aligned prosecutors, judges, and juries all work together to pre-convict.
With a loosely-defined “conspiracy” being such an easy allegation to hang around someone’s neck, now the stage is set to go after the unaccountable Deep State’s number-one enemy: Donald Trump. After all, neither Trump nor his supporters thought the mass mail-in-ballot 2020 “selection” was a free or fair contest, so through the police State’s transitive property of tyranny, he must be convicted of some kind of treasonous conspiracy, too! Did you know that federal agents could secretly conspire to infiltrate a crowd of the sitting president’s supporters, stir up trouble, entrap thousands, and lay the whole mess at the feet of the very man whose office they betrayed?
This is what happens when nobody goes to prison for an Obama-Clinton–Intelligence Community Russian collusion hoax that was nothing less than an attempted coup d’état that tore the nation in two, further inflamed tensions between nuclear adversaries, and nearly succeeded in taking down a duly elected president. The same people who never suffered any consequences for that organized attack on America never thought twice about covering up Hunter Biden’s laptop with more Intelligence Community disinformation, transforming the Department of Homeland Security into an unconstitutional organ for censoring Americans’ free speech, or weaponizing the criminal “justice” system into an expedient catch-and-never-release monster for persecuting Trump and his voters. Maybe if Bill Barr had done anything other than eat ham sandwiches and shamelessly defend the rotten-to-its-core Justice Department, the American Gestapo would not operate so vilely or gleefully today.
The problem with Merrick Garland’s gloating jubilee intended to impress upon the public that he and henchman Wray have been wickedly successful in using Trump-hating judges and juries to convict Trump-supporting defendants (prosecutors routinely reminded juries that it was Trump who was really on trial) is not just that his showboating has permanently destroyed Americans’ residual faith in the criminal “justice” system. The bigger problem is that an evil Deep State that abuses the law to lock up its critics has now taken us down a path promising Americans no prospect for future reconciliation.
Benjamin Franklin’s “Join, or Die” political cartoon was an effective call for colonial unity against a common foe. Today, the federal government says, “Join or die,” and what it means is, “Do exactly what we say, or we will treat you as an enemy, lock you up, and throw away the key.” With that kind of message being disseminated, there will be nothing to “join” because the United States will dissolve into warring parts. Political divisions will only worsen because those with power rub salt in open wounds. A house divided cannot stand — especially when the federal government chooses to burn the whole house down.
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.
