Critical thinkers around the world and in this nation are starting to wonder if some of the unprecedented strange events occurring around the world, particularly in America, are being staged. Here are some examples that thinking people are dwelling on…
The multiple fraudulent illegal attacks on Donald J. Trump that began in 2016 during his presidential campaign and not a single person prosecuted or sued civilly to be held accountable. What was done to former President Trump by the Hillary Clinton Campaign makes Nixon’s Watergate look like child’s play.
The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak of 2019 that Anthony Fauci announced was coming back in 2017 after Donald Trump became president AND Tony Fauci’s hand in both the development of the virus as a gain-of-function engineered virus as well as the Moderna vaccine solution as a cure.
The beginning of the “Two Tier Justice System” whereby the FBI received the “Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell” in 2019 and then did absolutely nothing about it and the obvious crimes it contained while continuing to fraudulently attack Donald Trump and his family.
The 2020 Presidential campaign whereby Joe Biden sat secluded in his basement without campaigning at all while Trump crisscrossed the nation, holding rallies with tens of thousands of people showing up to listen to him all over the nation.
The 2020 General Election whereby vote counting tabulation stopped for the first time in the history of America with Trump ahead, only to have his lead vanish when vote counting resumed. People in New Zealand actually reported they saw the vote count flip on live television, with the numbers of votes for Donald Trump going to Joe Biden in an instant. The multiple predictors of election outcomes that had been right in the past suddenly wrong in predicting Trump over Biden.
The January 6, 2021, Capitol protests after Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to investigate election fraud in the 2020 General Election despite video evidence of thousands of illegal ballots being delivered, as well as ballots scanned multiple times, in both Georgia and Michigan. There was also hard evidence of election irregularities in 4 other state hot spots around the nation indicating systematic election fraud, again after Joe Biden admitted (on video) it was going to happen a month before the event took place.
The January 6, 2021, certification of the General Election by Vice President Mike Pence, who refused to stop certification of the election after widespread evidence of election theft was found. Interestingly, at the time, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was not within his power to do so, but then in 2022 worked to change the responsibility of the Vice President as Senate Chair for future vote certifications by the House and Senate.
Presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to never mandate the Covid-19 vaccines. Then a year after becoming president in 2021, he signed an Executive Order (EO) to require all employees of the Federal Government, as well as contractors, to be vaccinated. He excluded members of Congress and USPS postal workers. The legacy news media somehow missed the fact the EO was both illegal and unconstitutional and never questioned Biden about his exemptions.
The Woke Movement was hijacked by the LGBTQ community to target America’s children for indoctrination. After that, the FBI criminalized parents in 2021 standing up against the LGBTQ community trying to take away parental rights from parents of young children to further this agenda.
The Woke Movement in commerce destroyed brand value from beers, to department stores, to restaurants and professional sports leading to a public revolt in dollar spending by boycotts and the expression, “Go woke, go broke.”
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement whereby public safety could actually be sacrificed to favor minorities over race, sexual orientation, and other issues completely unrelated to job performance. We must have more black commercial pilots and surgical doctors, no matter the cost!
The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) movement assigns credibility and weight fraudulently to the Climate Change Cult despite the fact not a single prediction they have forecast in the last 40 years has come to pass. True scientists, trying to follow the science against the movement, have been systematically censored. ESG is a United Nations Environment Program Initiative of 2005 that threatens America’s sovereignty.
America’s open borders, coupled with widespread lawlessness in our major metropolitan areas, are a threat to our national security. Our economy is key to our wellbeing for all involved, whether we be consumers or employees.
CONCLUSION:
Possibly yet to come are predicted food shortages, energy shortages, sabotage of the internet grid, a second pandemic wave, and national gun confiscation. Stay tuned!
If the FBI and DOJ do not step up to investigate and/or stop some of the oddities above, look for vigilante justice to prevail.
Average Americans are fed up and about done with this chain of events seemingly orchestrated by the powers above.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
