There’s a scene in the Liam Neeson movie “Taken” where he’s on the phone with his daughter. Men are there to kidnap her and she’s a world away from him in Europe. As a former intel agent, he knows what’s going to happen and realizes there’s no way to stop it. As much as he’d love to come up with a way for his daughter to escape or fight off the assailants, he knows the best thing he can do is to prepare her by telling her the truth.
“Now, the next part is very important — they’re going to take you,” he said.
That’s similar to how I feel about the current onslaught of national crises. I’d love nothing more than to tell my audience that if we do this or if someone else does that, we’re going to be just fine and America will be great again. Unfortunately, the writing on the wall is undeniable. Unless God acts on our behalf in ways nobody expects and none of us deserve, then things are going to get much worse in the near future.
For those who need a pep talk, this isn’t it. This is a wakeup call. Most in my audience are very well aware of the troubles we face, but seeing some of these challenges listed together may bring necessary perspective. My priorities are to spread the truth of the Bible, share the truth of this world, and offer solutions. I’d love to be the guy who could prioritize offering solutions over sharing the truth of this world, but I’m just better at being a journalist than an organizer.
With that said, this “doom and gloom” article is intended to alert people that if they aren’t bracing for impact yet, it’s time to start. If you’ve been bracing for impact already, then please help spread the word. Many of us do not have the time or resources to fully protect ourselves and our families, so focusing on that is the best we can do.
For those who have the time and resources, I’d ask you to help others to see the light and make themselves prepared as well. It behooves us all to have as many Americans awake as possible. We’ll need as many allies as we can get who will not be beholden to government for their survival. Together, we can either fight what’s coming (because we keep fighting the good fight even if we think our chances are slim) or to help rebuild when it’s over.
The partial list of existential threats in our immediate future includes challenges that, by themselves, are huge. Combining them into this perfect storm of simultaneous catastrophes makes it all seem insurmountable without divine intervention… and that’s the point. The globalist elite cabal continuously call it the “policrisis.” They need all of the bad things happening within the same short window to make it nearly impossible for us to overcome them all.
They have “solutions” in mind. For the masses to accept them, the powers-that-be need us broken, desperate, and willing to give them everything just to be able to survive.
Before I get to the list of challenges, it’s important to note something for those who are not as pessimistic as I am. Getting prepared by weening ourselves from government and reducing our reliance on “the system” is a good thing even if my predictions of impending doom do not come to pass.
Americans in general are far too plugged into “the system” even in the best of times. Keep that in mind if you think that I’m just fearmongering. I AM expressing tremendous fears, but only because I want people to make changes in their lives that will benefit them whether the apocalypse is nigh or if we, Lord willing, can recover from all of this.
Here are just some of the major challenges we’re facing:
- The border crisis has been a blazing inferno for over two years and the fall of Title 42 will be like dropping napalm on the already-massive flames.
- Our current banking crisis appears to be by design. The powers-that-be want the American financial system to be consolidated under the handful of megabanks, so even if you never wanted your money with JPMorgan Chase or Bank of America, the Powers and Principalities will try to force you into them.
- The food supply in America is secretly in a state of utter shambles. The effects of manufactured events over the last couple of years will be felt over the next couple of years as there’s a delay between cause and effect in such a massive system.
- Control of energy infrastructure is quietly being consolidated while the untenable shift to “green” energy will decimate the already-limited stability of the grid.
- Normalization of health scares that started with the Covid plandemic and continues with outbreaks of other diseases being tested in the wild will further empower the medical tyranny industry. What we saw with Covid lockdowns was just a taste of the draconian measures they have in store for the next plandemic.
- LGBTQIA+ Supremacy isn’t just about brainwashing leftists and children into questioning how they were created by God. It’s about furthering the post-truth society they need for their plans to work. By putting personal truth (“I feel like a girl so I must be a girl”) over objective truth (“I have a penis so I’m a boy”), they create a mass psychosis in which those who know the truth feel compelled to share in the lies. With such a mass psychosis in place, society in general can be herded into whatever slaughterhouse the powers-that-be choose.
- The massive rise in random violence will be the predicate for disarming the people and establishing an absolute police state. It isn’t just the mass murders that make the news. It’s the ongoing acceleration of pointless acts of violence. Before, we had to be concerned about being mugged for our possessions. That’s obviously wrong, but at least we could comprehend how greed or desperation could drive people to act like that. Today, we’re seeing far more violence for the sake of violence as even children are attacking each other just so they can be seen on a viral TikTok video.
That’s the partial list. Notice I didn’t even mention massive, widespread voter fraud making elections fruitless. I didn’t mention upcoming wars with Russia, China, or both. I didn’t mention that the Biden-Harris regime and the Uniparty Swamp on Capitol Hill are enacting policies and orders that are dragging our nation down. If I put together a full list of massive threats, this article would be too long for most to read.
Again, I’m not trying to be a fearmonger in a negative way. But there are plenty of commentators and show hosts out there who make a living off “Hopium” by delivering false predictions that all the bad guys are about to get arrested and all the good guys are going to be put into power. I’m not one of them. My hope is firmly set in the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, so no matter how bad things get in this world, the next world is inconceivably better.
Perfect.
Knowing this doesn’t change my concerns for the here and now. It only allows me to not crumble under the weight of knowing this nation that I love is being brought down in a controlled demolition by people who may or may not even realize how evil they are. Unfortunately, many of the bad guys we face think they’re the good guys, and that makes them even more dangerous than your average greedy or power-hungry Bond villain.
So, what do we do in the face of such turmoil? As a Bible-believing Christian, the first step is embracing the word of the Gospels and repenting. It may even be the last step for many, and if that’s the only step you take then you’re in the best of hands.
If we are to survive as a nation, we need as many Americans as possible to be able to survive and even thrive WITHOUT government, and in many cases without society itself. If and when everything comes crashing down, it will happen suddenly. Currently, we’re seeing the creeping of catastrophes upon us. A little inflation here, a little food shortage there. A bank collapse here, a company declaring bankruptcy there. It’s all important but it’s being done in waves so as not to sound too many alarms. But when the time comes for the next stage of their machinations, it will be sudden, hitting the vast majority of Americans like a tyrannical blitzkrieg.
We’re on an existential roller coaster right now. We’re slowly creeping to the summit. Once we cross over the top and gravity takes hold, the ride will change completely.
We cannot stop the societal collapse that’s coming. God can if He chooses to, but my gut tells me His plans as detailed in Biblical prophecy are unfolding before our eyes. That means persecution and calamity. But even if these aren’t the Biblical end times, the powers-that-be seem bent on duplicating the scenarios detailed in prophecy.
One world government. One world currency. One world religion.
Famine. Pestilence. War.
It’s time to get prepared. If you’ve already loaded up on everything you need, great! Help others see the light. If you haven’t started, no worries! Start now. If you’re already heading in that direction, move faster! This isn’t one of those situations where if you’re not ready when the crap hits the fan, that it’ll still be alright. For many, especially those still living in the cities, being a little prepared will not go very far for very long.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind in my life as we’ve made many changes to my online presence and priorities. Those who watch my show likely know I went from 5+ episodes per week to sporadic at best. That’s something that will, Lord willing, go back to normal soon. I mention it because I will be talking a lot more about preparedness on my show going forward.
I will also be putting more of a focus on my Late Prepper Substack. We are accumulating topics so I can commit very soon to a once-daily evening newsletter with tips. It isn’t what I say there that makes it great. It’s the discussions in the comment section that I hope will be the most enlightening as new preppers ask questions and experienced preppers offer answers.
We can get through this together if we’re able as individuals to get through this alone. I know it sounds counterintuitive to some but the best way to either save America or be there to rebuild after it collapses is by being strong as individuals and families. The more people that are doing their part by preparing themselves, the better our chances of coming out of this in once piece.
As for my fellow Bible-believers, we know that the evil of this world will be vanquished in the end.
I wanted to put my sponsors at the very bottom of this article rather than mentioning them in the article itself so nobody thought this was written to be self-serving. If readers stop now, my intentions of sharing the realities of our situation will have been fulfilled.
With that said, I choose my sponsors based solely on whether they are mission-critical or not. I have passed on dozens of very lucrative sponsorships because I only want to offer things people actually need in order for America to survive. You’d be shocked how much money show hosts make when selling tiny plots of land in Scotland that allegedly bestow titles of “Lord” or “Lady.” It’s more than I make by selling gold or food, that’s for sure!
Here are some of my sponsors:
- Long-Term Storage Beef: This is my company. We sell sous vide, freeze-dried beef cubes for long-term storage.
- Gold and Silver: Invariably, someone will comment that “you can’t eat silver coins.” This is true, but considering the banking collapse and rise of the Digital Dollar, it behooves Americans to protect their life’s savings with physical precious metals.
- Long-Term Storage Antibiotics: Shortages of life-saving drugs have already started happening. If the next plandemic crashes the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical supply chains, government will take over. That means no antibiotics for anyone who isn’t compliant. Our partners at Jase send five commonly needed antibiotics to store away or use today.
- Ammo: Just in case.
Thank you, and God Bless.
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.
