(Natural News)—Policyholders with The Cincinnati Insurance Companies are receiving notices about coverage changes pertaining to the threat of full-scale war.
Dr. Ben Tapper (@DrBenTapper1) shared an image on X – see below – showing policy changes that “include a war exclusion.”
“Your Commercial Inland Marine Coverage will include a Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological Hazards Exclusion,” the notice further reads.

Is the insurance industry expecting World War III?
Though war exclusions are technically nothing new for insurance carriers, they do have ominous implications for what is soon expected. Click For Cover, now known as CFC.com, published a piece last year that explains why.
In the spring of 1937 when German bombs fell on Guernica, Spain, flattening 70 percent of the town’s buildings in less than three hours, property insurers were completely unprepared because they were not expecting such a thing to happen.
“They soon realized it wouldn’t take many Guernicas to wipe out the balance sheets,” CFC says. “They responded by adding exclusions to policies for acts of war – a move reflected in contracts to this day.”
CFC says that insurers “are moving to address war again” now that it is clear there are major developments taking place on the march towards World War III. CFC says cyber war specifically is at the forefront of the insurance industry’s worries, but anything could happen.
“This time the concern is cyber war – specifically, attacks so catastrophic that they cripple a nation’s ability to function,” CFC says. “Lloyd’s of London have mandated the exclusion of such scenarios from March 31st of this year. Some in the market are resisting the move.”
“Insurance brokers are suspicious when new exclusions appear. And rightly so; they usually signal a reduction in cover for policyholders. They present problems for brokers when clients discover they don’t have the cover they thought they did.”
Back in the day, cyber war would have had no meaning since there were no computers. Today, the definition of war has greatly expanded to include a lot of things that policyholders need to know about because it could mean that they will not be covered once the “bombs,” including cyber bombs, drop.
“Mainstream global security organisations now accept that modern war includes cyber-attacks,” CFC explains. “Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter prohibits the threat or use of force by one state against another. This applies to nation state conduct in cyberspace.”
“While armed attack is still considered the most serious use of force, cyber-attacks fall under this definition too. In 2019, NATO, the world’s largest military alliance, confirmed this. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that a ‘serious cyber-attack could trigger article 5,’ a reference to the collective self-defence clause at the heart of NATO’s founding treaty.”
Simply put, there are a whole lot of events that are now considered to be “war” in the eyes of both the government and the insurance industry. By adding war exclusions to policies, many policyholders will likely find themselves in a serious bind when they realize their assets are no longer covered.
“Imagine a company trying to pay out damages to infrastructure in Gaza right now,” one commenter wrote about current events.
“Imagine offering coverage on nuclear damages,” wrote another about how the insurance industry could never cover a nuclear attack and survive.

Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
