In the best of times, Government “of, by, and for the people” has some serious drawbacks, though nothing compared to the dangers of unaccountable top-down government, better known as dictatorship. However, if the Country faces the prospect of a total change in leadership every four, or at most eight years, the situation can result in policies that are inconsistent, or even disjointed in extreme cases.
For most of America’s two hundred thirty four years as a Constitutional Republic, its moral and cultural foundations provided a general stability that maintained a proper course despite changes in leadership. Even amid the turbulence and peril of World War II, the passing of President Franklin Roosevelt in the decisive spring of 1945 didn’t alter the course of the Country or imperil the outcome of the War. Under President Harry Truman, America was still America.
The societal safeguards of morality and cultural cohesion began to seriously unravel in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, when the corrosive effects of the Marxist/Alinsky onslaught undermined and eventually destroyed basic pillars of the American ideal. In their place, the lunacy and depravity of the left insidiously and at times forcefully advanced, initially claiming equal “standing” on the basis of free speech and expression. Yet as leftists always do, once they had gained enough of a toehold, they quickly moved to suppress and eventually eradicate any opposition to the tenets of their twisted faith.
Since that time, national elections have spawned increasingly drastic shifts from left to right, and back again, with the overall direction of America taking sharp turns, depending on which side holds the reins of power. This dangerous instability does not go unnoticed by foreign powers, whether they be former allies hoping for continued support from the United States as a world superpower, or potential adversaries who are banking on deposing us from that status, when the opportune moment arises.
The election of Barack Obama in 2008 marked the first time in the course of our Nation in which an openly hostile anti-American was able to seize power, and deliberately steer the Country on the most destructive course he could set for it. His ominous promise to “fundamentally transform” the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave was certainly fulfilled as high offices were overtaken by his corrupt minions, becoming increasingly lawless and dangerous to the good people on Main Street.
Currently, much of high level government had become so malignant it is no longer recognizable, with organizations such as the DOJ and FBI increasingly taking on militaristic and despotic roles as enforcers of the latest unconstitutional edict. Even the IRS, which has long held a dubious reputation for heavy handed attacks on innocent citizens who may not have jumped to its liking through one of the countless tax code “hoops” it wields, now has at its disposal a military sized army of eighty seven thousand armed enforcers. No doubt their benign intent is only to ensure Grandma dots every “i” and crosses every “t” on her 1040.
As disturbing as all of this is, Americans long believed they could ultimately right the wrongs, through that time honored element of eventual accountability to the common man on Election Day. It was just such a hope for the future that upheld the American spirit through the ineptitude of the Carter years, the corruption of the Clinton years, and the craven ravaging Obama. But no less significant was the same understanding of America, from outside of the border.
With the stolen election of 2020, that safeguard no longer exists. Though Obama did his best to empower and embolden Iran, and to build every anti-American entity in the Middle-East into a formidable enemy, both friend and foe knew that such treachery would only go so far before the American people stood in unity against it. And the election of President Donald Trump in 2016 strongly reinforced this principle. Yet in 2020, that firewall was suddenly subjugated to the vast chicanery and fraud of compromised voting machines, ballot stuffing by the truckload, “vote counting” being conducted behind closed doors with objective election judges forced from the room, and every other form of corruption necessary to completely steal a National Election.

The evidence of flagrant theft was vast and inarguable. Yet concurrent with the vote stealing and fraud was an equally orchestrated and coordinated propaganda onslaught, from every media outlet across the land, deeming the 2020 circus the “most secure presidential election in history.” Just the sheer gratuitousness of that proclamation, heralded before any actual accounting of the election process could even occur, stood as evidence that the fix had been in place before the first ballot was ever tabulated.
Of course the consequences for our Nation have been horrendous. The lawlessness at the Southern border alone portends a massive spike in violent crime, drug use, rape and assault, and other horrific social trends throughout our Nation. Similar disasters have been delivered to the availability of coal, gasoline, and other energy essentials. Along with that, the emboldened nature of unaccountable government makes the prospect of ever fixing things increasingly bleak.
However, it is specifically on the international front that the greatest, and gravest of long term damage to our Nation may be taking place. International alliances, which are essential to proper diplomatic and economic functioning in our interconnected world, are a total shambles. The Russia/Ukraine situation being just one example. Nobody really knows our reason for spending billions of taxpayer dollars on an ill defined “war” with a nondescript characterization of “victory” for either side.
In saner times, foreign powers knew that, for better or worse, they could count on the culture and principles of the American people to eventually right the course according to what is in our best interests, and that certain lines could not be crossed without incurring the wrath of the “Red, White, and Blue.” That is no longer the case. Having seen how thoroughly the leftist/Globalist onslaught could dominate, with zero accountability, and hardly an appropriate “whimper” of opposition from our side, other nations across the globe have no expectation that the ideals and principles of our once Great America can ever be restored. And in the outside chance that one election might go our sway, it is deemed inevitable that the left will regroup and retake power, to recommence tearing down every vestige of this Nation and its noble heritage.
Fixing the Nation absolutely requires fixing our corrupt “election” system, and holding every guilty party fully to account for the treasonous corruption inflicted on it.

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.
