(Mercola)—As detailed in “Phase 2 of The Great Reset: War,” published a year-and-a-half ago, in March 2022, the globalist cabal behind The Great Reset plan desperately wants war — the bigger the better — as this will facilitate the transition into their “new world order.”
The more areas leveled, the easier it will be to rebuild smart cities in their stead. The more people killed, the more malleable survivors will be, and likely to accept slavery in return for some semblance of peace and security.
War destroys supply chains, the energy sector, food supply and the workforce, which creates dependency on government, which in turn will be taken over by private interests and central banks through the collapse of the global economy. Putting an end to the Ukraine war could go a long way toward thwarting that plan.
At bare minimum, it would drastically delay the final implementation of The Great Reset, giving us time to work out other solutions. But instead, American leaders are adding fuel to yet another war.
As predicted, ever since Russia’s incursion into Ukraine, the U.S. has done nothing but push for the escalation of conflict, and now, with the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, American war hawks are squawking again, calling for retaliatory strikes not only against Palestinian civilians in Gaza but also Iran, suspected of funding Hamas forces.1
Understanding the Context of Current Wars
Peace requires being able to see both sides of a conflict, and that is something mainstream media do not facilitate. For example, we’ve been repeatedly told that Russia’s attack on Ukraine was “unprovoked,” yet Russia’s patience has been strained to the limit for well over a decade.
From Russia’s perspective, it’s fighting an existential threat. Meanwhile, evidence suggests the basis for the United States’ defense of Ukraine is related to it being a valuable money laundering hub and, potentially, a secret biological weapons manufacturing ally.
Now, Israel is said to be fighting an existential threat as well, and American leadership is doing nothing to further peace in this situation either. Blame is laid on one side or the other, rather than viewing events within a historical context and trying to come to a resolution.
A Long History of Conflict
The video above is a History Hit Network documentary that reviews the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which began with the declaration of Israel as an independent nation state in 1948.
As explained in the video, thousands of Jews emigrated to Palestine in the 1920s and ‘30s, resulting in violent clashes with the local Arab population. At the time, the British empire occupied Palestine, and its attempts to limit Jewish immigration enraged the Jews. At the same time, the British stated support for a Jewish homeland enraged the Arabs.
Then World War II broke out, and an estimated 6 million Jews were murdered in Nazi concentration camps. After the war, Jews again began to flood into Palestine, which they viewed as their homeland and, by 1947, the British realized the situation had become unsustainable.
The solution, devised by the newly formed United Nations, was to split the contested land of Palestine into two sections. Jews celebrated and Arabs rebelled. May 14, 1948, the day British troops withdrew from Palestine and the state of Israel was declared, violence broke out between the two communities.
The Muslim countries of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt attacked the newly formed state and secured Arab territory within it. In the remaining Israeli territory, thousands of Palestinians were driven out by Israeli forces.
This forms the basis of a conflict that is still brewing today. Palestinians forcefully removed from their homes never forgot it. The situation further escalated in 1967, when Israel seized additional territory from Jordan and Syria. According to the documentary:
“That was a war in which the Arab Nations clearly were about to attack Israel. Israel had, as it were, both a legal and moral right to strike first, and they did strike first.”
As a result of Israel’s preemptive strike, the Gaza Strip, initially part of Egypt, came under the control of Israel. In 1973, Israel’s hostile neighbors struck back with a surprise attack during the religious holiday of Yom Kippur. After years of ongoing aggressions, Egypt and Israel finally met to negotiate peace in 1978.
The Camp David Accords of 1978 returned the Sinai peninsula to Egypt, while Israel kept East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights in Syria, and the Gaza strip. Israel also acquired more than 1 million Palestinian Arabs who lived in the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Rise of Hamas
The Accords did nothing to soothe old differences, however, and for decades afterward, Israeli forces and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) carried on hostilities. Peace talks were renewed in the early 1990s in Oslo, Norway, resulting in a two-state solution.
The Oslo Accords guaranteed Israel’s right to exist as an independent state, and that Arab neighbors would cease calling for the annihilation of Israel and instead guarantee its security.
In return, Palestinians would also be guaranteed an independent state. As a result, Palestinians were able to elect their own government within the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Jerusalem, meanwhile, was to be a “free city.”
Things did not work out as planned, however. In 2000, violent clashes between the two communities resumed, and in 2006, Palestinians elected members of the hard-line Islamist group Hamas into office. The reigning party, Fatah, ended up with just 45 seats of the 132-seat government, while Hamas got 74 seats.
The problem? Hamas’ founding charter included a commitment to the total destruction of the Israeli state — a direct violation of the Oslo Accords. Tahani Mustafa, a political scientist, describes Hamas as “the armed wing of the Palestinian strand of the Muslim Brotherhood, as they were created specifically for that reason in 1987.”2
According to Mustafa, the election of Hamas was a “protest vote” against Fatah’s corruption and government failures, and against the ongoing Israeli occupation of what they saw as Palestinian land.
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
Violence intensified over the next four years, resulting in the deaths of thousands on both sides. As noted in the documentary, “This is a conflict driven by old disputes and unresolved grievances, where each side blames the other.” Both view themselves as the rightful owners of Palestine and neither is willing to go along with the compromise of dividing up the land.
Palestine’s Government Divided
Adding another layer of complexity, Hamas and Fatah also fought internally for control over the security forces. Hamas sought to create a united government, but Fatah refused and negotiations ultimately broke down.
U.S. intelligence armed Fatah to carry out a military coup against Hamas, but Hamas intelligence intercepted the plan and preemptively seized control of the Gaza Strip. So, in June 2007, the Palestinian government was split in two, with Fatah controlling the Palestinian area of the West Bank and Hamas controlling Gaza, which is one of the most densely populated areas on the planet.
Israel responded with an economic blockade of Gaza, preventing residents from receiving food, medicine, building materials and more, in an effort to pressure them to kick Hamas out. In response to the blockade, Hamas militants bombed Israel, and Israel responded in kind.
After two years of back and forth air strikes, Egypt, in 2008, brokered a ceasefire, and the two sides agreed that the longer the ceasefire held, the more open the Gaza borders would become. Alas, the peace didn’t last long. Six months later, in December 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead, bombing 100 Gaza targets in the first four minutes of the attack.
For the next three weeks, Israeli forces penetrated Gaza, attacking what they claimed were Hamas strongholds. However, due to it being so densely populated, civilian casualties were inevitable. By mid-January 2009, 1,400 Palestinian civilians had been killed by Israeli forces, including 313 children. Israel finally ended the operation January 18, 2009, following international condemnation.
The Muslim Brotherhood
As explained in the film, by 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood had come into power in Cairo, Egypt, and an alliance between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas was forged, and much-needed goods flowed into Gaza from Egypt. In 2013, the Muslim Brotherhood was overthrown in a coup.
The new government did not support Hamas and blocked the underground tunnels used to smuggle goods from Egypt to Gaza. By 2014, Hamas was facing a financial crisis, as most of the government’s income dried up when the smuggling of goods ceased. Nearly half the adult population of Gaza was unemployed, and clean water and electricity were in short supply.
The United Nations declared a humanitarian emergency in Gaza, yet Hamas’ popularity remained. The residents of Gaza blamed Israel and Fatah in the West Bank for their troubles instead.
Conflict Resumes
In 2012, Hamas leader Ahmed Al-Jabari was killed by an Israeli drone strike. Additional targets were bombed in the days that followed, including Hamas’ headquarters and munition stores. Civilian infrastructures were also hit. Hamas responded with indiscriminate rocket fire into civilian areas of Israel. Israel’s rocket defense system, Iron Dome, limited Israel’s casualties to six.
Peace talks resumed in 2014, but collapsed. In June that year, three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and murdered by Palestinians in the West Bank. A massive military operation was launched to locate the culprits, resulting in the arrest of 350 Palestinians, including leading Hamas officials.
Tensions rapidly escalated. When a Palestinian youth was killed by a group of Israeli nationalists, Hamas launched rockets in retaliation. In response, Israel launched Operation Protective Edge. Once again, the Gaza Strip was turned into a war zone. At the end of a seven-week operation, more than 20,000 Palestinian homes in Gaza had been leveled and more than 2,000 residents killed.
US Recognizes Jerusalem as Capital of Israel
In 2016, the newly-elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that the U.S. would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocate the U.S. embassy to it. The international community condemned the move, expressing concerns that it would aggravate the conflict with Palestine.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza launched weekly mass protests, as they viewed this as a violation of the agreement to keep Jerusalem free and neutral. They called the demonstrations “The Great March of Return,” and demanded the right to return to their ancestral homes, which had been taken from them by Israel in 1948, and an end to Israel’s 12-year blockade of Gaza.
In March 2019, Trump enraged Palestinians yet again, by announcing the U.S. would become the first country to endorse the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights.
As noted in the film, the U.S. has endorsed “the expansion of Israel by means of warfare,” and as a result, “the two-state solution, which is the only solution that the world has been able to see to this conflict since 1967, is now very unlikely to take place.”
In January 2020, the Trump administration unveiled the final part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. Palestinians would have their own independent state, but Hamas would have to relinquish power over Gaza. Israel would also gain more land. The plan was immediately rejected by the Palestinians, and Hamas stayed in power.
All of this brings us to today, and the Hamas-led attack on Israeli civilians in the first week of October. As you can see, there’s a lot of history, a lot of context, for this most recent round of aggression. Both sides have been wronged at one point or another, and both have done wrong. Taking sides without at least a superficial understanding of this historical context can only result in greater bloodshed. Yet that’s what our leaders are doing, and it’s fueling the flames of war.
Hezbollah Is Using Mexican Cartels to Invade the US
October 8, 2023, a top Hezbollah official, Hashem Safi al-Din, said that the U.S. and Israel’s violations of Islamic holy places and “crossing of all lines” are what led to the latest attack. Moreover, he warned that Lebanon will join the “deluge” on Israel if the “foolishness” continues.3
Already, Hezbollah forces have shelled Israeli military sites along the Lebanon border “in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance.” Israel reportedly responded with a drone strike against “Hezbollah infrastructure” in the area.4
The fact that Lebanon is warning America to stay out of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is particularly noteworthy in light of evidence suggesting Hezbollah is using Mexican cartels to smuggle terrorists into U.S. by way of our wide-open southern border, and has been doing so for well over a decade. Hezbollah is also said to have established a home base near the U.S. border in Mexico.5,6,7
As noted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., by leaving the border unsecured, the Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the Mexican cartels. They decide who’s coming in, and there’s every reason to suspect terrorists of various stripes are among them.
The Biden administration is also endorsing Israel’s escalation against Iran,8 which raises the stakes even further, and risks terror attacks on American soil. There are no easy answers to time-hardened conflicts such as those in the Middle East, but aggressively calling for retaliatory actions is clearly not in the best interest of anyone, least of all the American population.
Yet here we are, seemingly powerless to prevent being dragged into what could progress into a multi-front world war. In the immediate term, the best thing you could probably do is to make sure your family is well-prepared for disruptions to our infrastructure and supply chains.

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.
