“The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.”
– Eric Schmidt
(WND)—During my stint as the California state director of Don Wildmon’s American Family Association, I had the rare privilege of sharing a head table with Phyllis Schlafly at a banquet held in her honor by the California chapter of her organization, Eagle Forum, in Santa Rosa. We had become friends over the years, but I had never previously heard her give a speech.
That evening, as I sat next to her traveling companion and conservative Hollywood legend Jane Russell, Phyllis gave a point by point eye-opening, eyewitness account of the history of the conservative movement starting from her days supporting Barry Goldwater. It was a remarkable testimony filled with personal anecdotes and insights – and with hope, which we all needed because the Clintons were then in office, working overtime to roll back the conservative gains of the Reagan Revolution.
Most memorably, Schlafly contended that the most powerful force in the modern world for advancing our cause and breaking free from the tyranny of the elites was the internet. She contrasted the heavily controlled society of the “Walter Cronkite era” with the then-present day freedoms of information-sharing among the populace, and predicted that American conservatism would never again be shackled and powerless as it had been in the early days. She was right – but what she didn’t address was the desperate lengths to which the elites would go to retain their power in the face of rising opposition.
Starting with Bush 41, America entered an era in which the fear of Reaganesque populism drove the elites to establish new technology-based systems of government control and manipulation, and to rush toward globalism to head off revolution. Those systems were created during the Silicon Valley explosion of computer-based industries – the technological equivalent of the California Gold Rush – when a brand new class of American oligarchs emerged, led by people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.
It was no accident that these men were almost universally leftist ideologues, because it was a “managed” revolution under our first full-fledged (but veiled) Marxist regime, the Clinton administration. And its leaders were mostly not generated spontaneously: They emerged victoriously from a pool of young hand-picked Ivy League scions, contending amongst themselves for the choices plums and vastest fortunes.
And it was no accident that so many of them were male homosexuals, because that group is the most ideologically reliable contingent of the “progressive” movement. The LGBTs were on the ascendency themselves as a power-bloc – being highly energized to achieve cultural supremacy after having suffered the worse defeat in the history of their movement under Reagan in the 1986 Bowers v. Hardwick case at the Supreme Court.
It was no accident that “gays in the military” (and in its cultural “cadet” program, the Boy Scouts) was Bill Clinton’s top issue in his 1992 campaign (something on which I confronted him on live television). It was no accident Clinton gave homosexuals top secret security clearance for the first time in American history – openly homosexualizing the “deep state” as it drastically ramped up its command-and-control functions domestically and abroad.
There had been an open globalist agenda for decades by then (at least since the Woodrow Wilson administration), but the internet made its goal of centralized top-down global government more urgent, because opposition to global controls was growing apace, threatening Anglo-American hegemony.
Rebellion internationally was growing at an especially alarming speed as Muslim countries tried to throw off globalist banking controls (which violate fundamental Islamic doctrine) – triggering what I have finally, grudgingly come to admit was probably a false-flag operation by Bush 43: 9/11, as a pretext for justifying the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and expanding NATO throughout the Muslim world.
Then, under Obama, globalist urgency became even more frantic as domestic push-back reached its (then) highest level since the Civil War. The Tea Party rebellion against Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform America” was so threatening to the globalist oligarchy that the GOP elites had to come out of the closet and reveal their Purple Uniparty partnership with the Dems.
The RINOs managed, barely, to neutralize and absorb the Tea Party into Republicanism by the end of Obama’s second term – while the Democrats ran their parallel “Occupy Wall Street” scheme to minimize defections to it from the grassroots. By then, however, populism had (from their perspective) “metastasized” into what we would soon be calling the MAGA movement, but which was and is really a global phenomenon.
From late 2015 to mid 2017, my wife and I did a 27-country personal fact-finding tour of the global conservative/populist movement. For example, we were in London for the Brexit vote and in Hungary when Viktor Orban stood up to the EU on open borders and “gay marriage.” I helped Kyrgyzstan defend marriage in its constitution in 2017 with seminars and a media campaign in Biskek.
That tour followed a 50-city speaking and pro-family activism tour through eight countries of the former Soviet Union in 2006-2007. So I have had a rare “overview” of the global rebellion that produced the Donald Trump presidency in 2016 and the amazing (informal) conservative “alliance” of Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and Nigel Farage. The British Brexit divorce from the EU, the American Trump phenomenon, the “no more NATO expansion!” Russian Federation and the new “right-wing” government of Israel are all the fruit of that movement – though few on the right seem to recognize their common root.
Make no mistake, however, the leftist elites recognize it and are so utterly terrified they pulled out all the stops to kill MAGA in 2020/21 with election fraud, the plandemic and massive police-state censorship (but failed!) and by intentionally provoking the Ukraine war (which they’re losing). So now they’re in frothing-at-the mouth desperation – ready even to trigger World War III to usher in their “Great Reset.”
But to paraphrase H.G. Wells, there’s a great orchestrator behind this chaos – an intellect vast and cool and unsympathetic, who regards this earth with envious eyes – awaiting his time to conquer and reign. And his top human minions are just as cool, or rather cold blooded. The final step in their plan has just been launched: a seven year countdown to full globalist control, culminating in a transhumanist “singularity.”
I’ll give you my take on those two items next week.

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.
