Unless you’ve totally tuned out from any news, you’re probably aware of what recently happened in Israel. As dawn broke on October 7, 2023, Hamas launched thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip, which they control, into Israel. Under the cover fire, Hamas gunmen crossed the border into Israel and conducted an all-out assault, killing over a thousand Israeli civilians and wounding many more.

It was a ferocious attack, and Israel has since declared war on Hamas, vowing a mighty vengeance.

But the bloodshed that happened and the bloodshed that will follow as Palestinian neighborhoods are pounded into rubble is not why this new conflict matters to America.

Ever since the end of World War II, we’ve enjoyed what’s known as the Long Peace, or Pax Americana, a period of no major military conflicts between the world’s great powers.

Sure, we had the Cold War, but thankfully that never turned nuclear hot.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, America remained the only true superpower, projecting a military and economic power that nobody dared challenge.

The world became unipolar, and the focus was on developing economic ties and a growing sense of cooperation between countries. It led to one of the greatest golden ages in human history.

And we all took it for granted.

The Most Dangerous Geopolitical Moment in Decades

But now things are changing rapidly, and a new global alliance is taking shape. It’s made up of countries that oppose America’s rule and the Western values we stand for. I’m talking about a group of authoritarian countries that have no interest in democracy and would like nothing more than to do as they please without having to worry about America and its allies stepping in to ruin their plans.

It’s probably no secret who I’m referring to; all you need to do is look around. It’s China and Russia, who vowed a “friendship without limits,” but also India, South Africa, Brazil, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many more. What they all have in common is that they’re ruled by people who have either been in power for a very long time or are working diligently to ensure they will be. Plus, they either overtly or covertly hate America.

What you may not realize is that we are already at war with this alliance—not a direct military conflict yet with American boots on the ground but through proxies.

The first front opened in Ukraine in 2021. The second front is now in the Middle East, and this one has a far greater potential for escalation.

There will be a third. I’ll get to it in a second, but first let’s talk about what’s likely to happen in the next couple of weeks.

From everything I’ve seen so far, Israel will take this retaliation too far. Just looking at the videos coming out of Gaza will make a grown man cry, regardless of his religion.

Protests against Israel are taking place all over the world, but the largest ones are, unsurprisingly, raging in the Middle East.

The Arab world is fast becoming one big powder keg waiting to blow up. The talk coming out of Iran, Turkey, and others is very concerning. I believe that once the Palestinian civilian cost escalates, other countries that hate Israel and what they are doing in Gaza will join the war. And Israel and Hamas will turn into a regional conflict that will completely destabilize the Middle East.

Israel has been at war with Hamas before, and it always ended with the terrorist organization battered but still in control of Gaza. The Israelis know they can’t afford another half-victory. This time they are going all in and all out, as evident by their recent actions.

This will not be over soon.

It’s just in the beginning stages.

All Hell Is About to Break Loose

Even if the ground invasion has been postponed at the behest of America, it will still happen. Israel is just giving us time to protect our troops all over the Middle East. They’re already being attacked, and allegedly Iran’s fingerprints are all over that.

Besides rocket attacks on U.S. bases, there is another immediate threat. Hezbollah, the 150,000-strong militia in Lebanon, is likely waiting for Israel to get bogged down in urban warfare in Gaza before opening a second front in the north.

When that happens, America will have no choice but to step in and help Israel, stretching our already thin military resources even further. We all know how much lethal aid has already been poured into Ukraine, and we are sending more and more. We don’t have the industrial capacity to replenish our stocks as quickly as they are being drained.

And it’s at this time that the hammer will fall in the Pacific.

China wants Taiwan back and has wanted it back for the longest time.

President Xi has repeatedly made it crystal clear.

I believe China has been patiently biding its time, waiting for us to overextend our military assets before finally making a move on the breakaway territory.

As much as I still have faith in our military, not even America can fight on three fronts at once and win.

Not anymore.

In the 1990s, at the pinnacle of our military power, America was ready to fight two and a half wars. That’s how our forces were configured. We could fight and win a major war in Europe through NATO against Russia. We could fight and probably win another huge war against China somewhere in the Korean Peninsula. And at the same time, we could fight a holding war in the Middle East, protecting our assets and allies there until we won one of the two major wars and could divert resources.

Those days are gone.

Our military is diminished, and recruitment is at an all-time low. We can’t fight more than one major war.

And just because we can fight it, there is no guarantee we’ll win it!

Now there is all this warmongering coming out of Washington. They’re talking a big game, but they can’t back it up!

In fact, it’s like they’re gladly walking us straight into World War III, with no efforts being made to deescalate. In fact they’re doing the exact opposite.

We haven’t been at a more dangerous geopolitical point in decades.

But I think anyone can sense in their gut something big is coming—something we’ve never faced before.

The Past Is Prologue

A Pax Americana is coming to an end, I can’t help but think about another empire and the peace they kept. For hundreds of years, the strength of the Roman Empire and its military maintained peace over Europe, parts of Africa, and the Middle East.

But once it was over, the world was plunged into the turmoil of the Dark Ages, which it wouldn’t reemerge from until 1000 years later. And now many of the signs that came before their fall are also present here in America. Endless internal fighting over unimportant issues, political instability, a mounting unsustainable debt, the devaluation of the currency, a weakening of the military, and many others.

Coincidence?

Maybe.

But I think there has never been a better time to prepare your household and get ready to protect your loved ones, because nobody else will. Our government has put America in harm’s way, and sensing weakness, our enemies are out for blood. I don’t know how this will all unfold. I wish I did.

But what I can tell you is that the world you live in today will not be the world you’ll still live in tomorrow. Many of the things we take for granted, like food, water, medicine, and the protection of law enforcement, might simply vanish. That’s why besides stockpiling, becoming self-sufficient on your own property should be priority #1. I’ve just found what I think is the perfect resource for that:

Throughout history, mankind has waged a constant war with starvation. From the time of the first hunter-gatherers, through the early cultivation of crops and all the way to our modern, industrialized farming techniques, we humans have been working to ensure that we can survive the next winter, when no crops are growing and animals hide in their burrows. To our ancestors, this was a great challenge, unlike today. For that reason, the idea of being a “prepper” would seem strange, as they all lived a prepping lifestyle.

Yet somehow, modern western culture has distanced itself from the reality of needing to grow food. As the number of farmers in our midst keeps dwindling and industrialized farming takes over, fewer and fewer people have any idea of where their food comes from. The idea that the grocery store produces meat and vegetables rather than farmers and ranchers growing it, might make for a good joke, but the ignorance behind it is outright frightening.

The United States is the number one food producing nation in the world; yet we do it with a very small percentage of our overall population. Farming, fishing, forestry and related activities account for only 1.8% of the overall workforce. Those people not only produce the food that we eat here at home, but much that is exported overseas.

We depend on this small portion of our population, plus the others who work in the food service industry, to keep the rest of us fed. The rest of us don’t even bother thinking about it. After all, there’s always food in the grocery store… lots of food. There always has been and there always will be, right?

But what if they can’t? What if, for some reason, the farmers in this country can’t produce the food needed to feed our population, let alone all the other countries in the world that buy $159 billion in American food products? What will we do then?

We may very well be facing that problem in the very near future, a top one percent farmer warns. Between late planting of grains, especially corn, in 2022 and an unusually dry growing season, US grain harvests were low in 2023. This is on top of low production of vegetables due to the ongoing droughts in Southern California.

What this means is that the “excess” food in the “pipeline” has all disappeared in a period of about four months. While we are not yet in trouble, we’re teetering right on the edge. All it would take to put us into food shortage, is for a low harvest level in 2024, either through drought,war, natural disasters, an early winter destroying crops or another late planting season.

We’re Not Hearing About It

Should there be actual shortages of food, there would be a need for some sort of food rationing. That would be a function of the USDA (US Department of Agriculture), who would be responsible for putting some sorts of controls in place, ensuring that the food which our farmers are producing would be properly allocated, so that everyone’s needs would be met.

What’s scarier than the potential of food shortages in the near future, is that we’re not hearing about it. Nor does it seem that the USDA is hearing anything about it. Nothing is being done to prepare for potential shortages, because the people who should be dealing with that don’t have any idea of what is going on. They seem to be kept in the dark and nobody seems to know who is hiding that news.

This means that when the food shortages begin to manifest, nobody is going to be ready for it. Government bureaucrats and major producers up and down the line will be caught with a sudden need to do something, but without the time to plan out what should be done.

Can The Food Run Short?

There are places in the world today where food shortages are the norm. I’ve had church pastors from other countries in my home, who have told me about the people they bury, even children, because they’ve starved to death. This is a very real problem in a number of different countries. It’s not something made up by non-profit organizations, to try and get your money.

Are we going to run into that problem here in the USA? We could, but we probably won’t. As a country, we produce something like 180 billion tons of food per year. Of that, about a third actually goes to waste, not ending up on anyone’s dining room table.

The reason for this waste, is that, as a country, we are very focused on the appearance of our food. That began just after the time of World War II, coinciding with electric refrigerators becoming commonplace. Even with their faults, those early electric refrigerators were so much more efficient than iceboxes, that it made a difference in how our food looked, especially produce. No longer did homemakers have to concern themselves with brown spots on produce; it would be consumed before that happened.

With that being the case, homemakers became more selective in their purchases, passing over imperfect produce, in favor of better looking specimens. Noticing this, grocers stopped putting less than perfect produce on the shelves, opting to throw it away and make their selection look better. This then worked its way back to the farm, so that now there’s a lot of food which goes from the farm right to the landfill, rather than trucking it to the store.

Please note that there is nothing wrong with all this food that gets thrown away. In most cases, the flaws are superficial, mere cosmetic blemishes. I’m not talking about food that has spoiled, just food that doesn’t’ look so good.

With so much food that doesn’t ever get eaten, our farms would have to suffer severe shortages, before it became a shortage in the grocery store. The ones who would most likely be affected by such shortages would be our overseas customers, who buy some $160 billion worth of American food per year.

When Food Runs Short

This isn’t to say that it would be impossible for there to be serious food shortages in our country. The amount of food our farmers produce annually is dependent on a lot of separate factors. Should just one of those factors fall short, we might suddenly find ourselves in the position where productivity on the farms is drastically reduced.

There are a number of things I can think of, off hand, which could bring that about, ranging from severe weather to government regulation. Some of these regulations are being pushed for in Washington, without anyone taking into account the ultimate effect of those regulations.

Should the food supply begin to run short, we would first see it as a rise in prices at the store. The only effect that would have on most of us is a more costly grocery bill. We’d pay it and complain, tightening our belts elsewhere in our budgets, so that we could buy the same as we’ve always done.

But there would be those who couldn’t afford to spend more on their grocery bills; those people would suffer. Oh, they wouldn’t starve, but they would need to change their eating habits, so that they didn’t. More than anything, rather than buying fresh, they would have to settle for less favorable choices, perhaps even eating the food that is currently being thrown away.

It Could All Stop Tomorrow

While it would take a lot to shut down our farms or lower the amount they produce to levels where we would see shortages, there is one thing that could shut down food supplies in a day. That’s any sort of damage to our nation’s trucking industry.

The food production and food service industries depend on trucking, more so than many other industries. Without our nation’s trucking industry taking food from the farm to the various processing facilities and then from those to the stores, the supermarket shelves would empty in a day.

As I sit here writing this, that’s happening in Wyoming. Severe winter weather has made the roads all but impassible, with over 200 miles of Interstate 80 closed down. This is making it difficult for truckers to make their deliveries, which in turn has led to empty shelves in the stores. Should this situation last for more than a few days, things could get serious for the inhabitants of that state.

The same could happen nationwide, should the electrical grid go down or some sort of nationwide quarantine be put in place due to pandemic. It wouldn’t matter what farmers could produce then, as it would only be available to people living locally. Those who lived in states where there wasn’t any food grown or even in cities that were far from the farms and processing plants, had better have their pantries stocked, or they’ll find themselves on very short rations.

We live in a world marked by increasing uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and unforeseeable disasters, where the concept of prepping has gained significant traction. More and more people are preparing for potential disasters, often focusing on stockpiling food, water, and emergency supplies to weather a wide range of crises.

However, what can americans learn from one of the most enduring and complex conflicts of our time, the Israel-Palestine war?

A little bit of history hurts no one

The history of Israel’s formation and its impact on Palestine is a complex and contentious subject, marked by a series of events that have shaped the course of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here are the key historical factors that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and how this process laid the foundation for the ongoing territorial disputes with Palestine.

I. The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate Era (1917-1947)

The origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be traced back to the end of World War I when the British government issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917. This document expressed support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then under Ottoman rule. While the declaration promised to protect the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish communities in Palestine, it sowed the seeds of future discord.

Following World War I, the League of Nations gave Britain a mandate to govern Palestine. During the mandate period (1920-1948), Jewish immigration to Palestine increased significantly, fueled by the rise of Zionism, a political and cultural movement advocating for a Jewish homeland. This led to tensions with the Arab majority in the region, who saw their land and identity threatened by the growing Jewish presence.

II. United Nations Partition Plan (1947)

In 1947, the United Nations proposed a plan to divide Palestine into two distinct Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international administration. The plan was approved despite Arab opposition, leading to outbreaks of violence and ultimately, the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. During this conflict, Israel declared its independence, further exacerbating tensions with its Arab neighbors and displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.

III. The Palestinian Nakba (1948)

The outcome of the 1948 war, which the Palestinians call the Nakba (catastrophe), led to the establishment of Israel as a state and the displacement of a significant Palestinian Arab population. This period marked the beginning of a long-standing refugee crisis, with Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes often unable to return. Israel expanded its territory beyond the boundaries proposed by the UN partition plan, retaining control over West Jerusalem and significant portions of the territory designated for the Palestinian state.

IV. The Six-Day War (1967) and Ongoing Disputes

In 1967, the Six-Day War resulted in Israel capturing the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, which had been under Jordanian and Egyptian control. This marked a turning point, as Israel’s control over these territories led to the construction of Israeli settlements and the intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The status of these territories, along with the issue of Palestinian statehood, continues to be a point of contention today.

The formation of Israel and its territorial expansion have been deeply entwined with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These historical events have left a legacy of grievances, displacement, and competing claims to land that continue to shape the region’s dynamics.

The situation today

This month, the situation in the region escalated significantly. On October 7, militants from Gaza launched thousands of rockets toward Israeli towns and breached the heavily fortified border fence with Hamas sending militants into Israeli territory. According to Israeli authorities, this resulted in the loss of over 1,400 lives, including civilians and soldiers, and the taking of 199 hostages.

The attacks were notable for their unprecedented tactics and scale. Israel had not faced before a terror attack of this magnitude that claimed the lives of so many civilians. Hamas, in this operation, named “Al-Aqsa Storm,” stated that it was in response to perceived Israeli attacks on women, the desecration of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and the ongoing Gaza siege.

In response to the attack, Israel declared war and initiated “Operation Swords of Iron,” targeting what it identified as Hamas and Islamic Jihad installations in Gaza. Israel also obstructed supply lines for basic necessities to the Gaza population, including fuel and water. Between October 7 and 12, Israel dropped approximately 6,000 bombs on the territory, which is more densely populated than New York, equivalent to the total number of airstrikes launched on the territory during the entire 2014 Gaza War (Operation Protective Edge), which lasted 50 days.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) advised civilians in Gaza to leave residential areas immediately for their safety, but some residents found it difficult to identify safe havens, especially with all crossings out of Gaza closed. The situation is further complicated by the hostages held by Hamas. While Hamas claimed that some hostages were killed by Israeli bombings, Israel hasn’t confirmed nor denied this assertion.

Israel imposed a “complete siege” on Gaza, blocking the delivery of water, electricity, fuel, and food until the hostages are released. On Friday the 13th, Israel’s military urged the 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to evacuate their homes immediately, indicating the imminent possibility of a ground invasion. The situation remains highly fluid and subject to ongoing developments.

What should preppers learn from this conflict?

I’ve been following the situation closely and checked various sources to find out more besides what the classic media reports. I believe that there are some things we, preppers, can learn from this, and the current situation serves as a reminder of why we are prepping. Here are my main conclusions:

Israel is far from being a good tourist destination

Nevertheless, Israel continues to draw millions of tourists annually. While the safety situation in the region can be notably unpredictable, a significant number of visitors are drawn to Israel owing to its profound religious and cultural significance.

However, I personally refrain from selecting it as a vacation destination, as I am inclined to avoid placing myself and my loved ones in the midst of an ongoing conflict. This decision is founded on principles of self-preservation and practicality. After all, what justifies taking such a risk? To showcase one’s travels on social media or to add another destination to a travel itinerary?

It’s worth noting that among those held hostage by the Hamas organization, there are tourists who attended an outdoor rave party. If one chooses to visit such locations, it is advisable to ensure stringent security measures are in place, maintain the means for a swift evacuation, and exercise moderation when participating in such events.

However, if there is a compelling reason for your visit, such as business or visiting relatives, it is possible to take steps to enhance your safety. Ultimately, you bear the responsibility for your well-being. Below, we outline key factors to consider when evaluating the safety of traveling to Israel:

Security Situation: Israel has a complex security environment due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and regional geopolitical dynamics. There have been occasional periods of heightened tension, demonstrations, and conflicts, particularly in areas like the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Visitors should stay informed about the situation and avoid areas with ongoing security concerns.

Travel Advisories: It’s advisable to check travel advisories from your government or relevant authorities before planning a trip to Israel. These advisories provide updated information on safety and security issues.

Local Guidelines: Follow any security or safety guidelines issued by Israeli authorities and local law enforcement. This may include restrictions on movement in certain areas and adherence to security measures in public places.

Restricted access to firearms is a bad idea

Many of the victims of the Hamas incursion into Israel lacked the means to defend themselves. I’ve come across numerous videos and photos depicting local residents being gunned down, and due to Israel’s stringent gun control laws, they were unable to retaliate.

Israel does not have the same level of civilian access to firearms as seen in some other countries, like the United States. The possession and use of firearms in Israel are subject to strict regulations and are generally limited to certain individuals and purposes. Here are some key points regarding firearms in Israel:

Firearm Ownership: Civilian firearm ownership is highly regulated in Israel. Most Israelis do not have access to firearms for personal self-defense or sporting purposes. Firearm ownership is primarily limited to individuals in specific roles, such as security personnel, law enforcement, and military personnel.

Licensing and Training: To obtain a firearm in Israel, individuals must go through a rigorous process that includes background checks, mental health evaluations, and the completion of training and safety courses. Firearm license applicants are typically required to demonstrate a genuine need for a weapon.

Carry Restrictions: Even those who are granted licenses to possess firearms typically have restrictions on carrying them in public. Firearms are generally required to be stored securely when not in use.

Never put all your trust in the government

The recent attack on Israel serves as a stark reminder that no government can guarantee absolute trust and protection. This incident is being viewed as a significant lapse in internal security and tactical intelligence oversight.

Reports suggest there was a degree of chaos in coordinating a timely response to the attack, and authorities struggled to ensure the safety of their citizens. Once again, this highlights the importance of not relying solely on the government for the safety of your family.

Taking precautionary measures to ensure your loved ones’ safety until government aid arrives is crucial. Whether it involves constructing a secure shelter or adhering to the necessary procedures for firearm ownership, the ultimate responsibility for safeguarding yourself and your family falls on your shoulders.

Conspiracy theories have also emerged, suggesting that the Israeli government had prior knowledge of the attack and allowed it to happen to provide a pretext for a forceful response in Gaza.

Others argue that the military’s readiness to respond was compromised because the attack occurred during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, when a significant portion of military personnel is on leave, and military facilities operate with minimal staff.

Nevertheless, video footage reveals significant lapses in military preparedness, with military bases appearing disorganized and failing to follow established protocols. The absence of active patrols and watchful eyes raises questions about the soldiers’ readiness. Many of those who lost their lives were either inside their barracks, sleeping or congregating around open fires, eating and drinking. It appeared that there was little to no advance warning of the attack.

Don’t trust the media

I’ve come across a considerable amount of conflicting information online, along with reports that often contradict established facts. Both sides are engaged in a substantial amount of propaganda, and regrettably, people rarely take the time to verify sources or conduct their own investigations.

Propaganda primarily serves two purposes: first, it seeks to attract supporters to a cause, often drawing individuals with no prior allegiance to the cause or organization. Second, it disseminates information to justify the cause and the means used to achieve its objectives.

A prominent example of this is the unfounded rumor that Hamas terrorists were decapitating babies and young children, which rapidly spread like wildfire. To date, no evidence of such heinous acts has been confirmed, and the Israeli government has not verified the specific claim that Hamas attackers beheaded infants during their shocking attack.

When U.S. President Joe Biden publicly expressed his outrage at Hamas militants invading southern Israel and allegedly beheading babies at the Kfar Aza kibbutz last weekend, the public reaction was extensive and understandable.

However, subsequent reports indicated that no such beheadings had been substantiated by any Israeli or international source, most likely because they never occurred. This serves as a stark illustration of how false reports can swiftly permeate the public sphere through mass media, often with the intention of discrediting one’s adversaries and supporting one’s allies.

Biden’s statement followed a series of news reports and comments from Israeli officials, most of which have since been toned down or retracted. The allegations of beheadings, challenging to verify, have continued to circulate, partly due to the lack of clarity on the matter.

Alexei Abrahams, a disinformation researcher at McGill University in Montreal, noted that even without the claims of beheaded infants, “the actual facts themselves are horrifying enough to elicit the kind of response one would expect.” Stories involving babies are highly emotive and have historically been used to justify extremely harsh responses. Given the volatile nature of the information environment, such claims are inevitably taken out of context, both intentionally and unintentionally.

The key point here is that the media is primarily driven by viewership, as it generates significant revenue and can be easily swayed to take sides when emotional reactions are triggered. Additionally, it is widely acknowledged that there is no longer a truly free and independent media. It is crucial to conduct your own research and draw your own conclusions, as the truth can be readily manipulated.

There is however one piece of news that should give preppers pause, and that’s the information relayed by FBI Director Chris Wray who warned on Saturday the 14th that there was a spike in domestic terror threats in the US related to the war.

Always be ready to bug out

Switching over to the Palestinian side, from the videos I’ve seen online, it’s evident that many civilians are fleeing their homes with only the clothes on their backs. Some have had to depend on others for transportation due to a lack of fuel for their vehicles. This underscores the importance of having a bug-out bag or a basic survival kit ready in case you need to leave your home. It’s also wise to maintain a cache of essential supplies, particularly water, food, and fuel.

There have been concerns that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has targeted food, water, and fuel supplies because they may be used by both civilians and the Hamas terrorist organization. Regardless of this, it’s essential not to leave things to chance and create your own supply cache, regardless of its size.

Another aspect that caught my attention was the evacuation tactics adopted by civilians, whether by choice or necessity. Many of them traveled alongside vehicles such as ambulances, military trucks, and other targets that are typically at risk of IDF actions. It may have been more prudent for them to consider alternative escape routes or at least maintain a safe distance from such targets.

Have you ever viewed any of the historical materials about the holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis? You should know that except for what happened in the Warsaw Ghetto, few of those being rounded up actually resisted, let alone fought back. It’s amazing when you think about it, that any society would be able to round up and kill over six million of its own inhabitants and just a handful would resist.

Of course, these people certainly did not understand at first that they were going to be slaughtered. It’s difficult for normal people to comprehend what psychopathic minds can conjure up. Morally based human beings will reject the unlikely possibility that their government and their fellow citizens could actually perform such a beastly genocide upon them. These people were told they were being “relocated” and would soon be reunited. Because the lies promised hope, they went quietly to slaughter.
Evil prefers to creep up. Most would reject depravity if they fully discerned its heinous intent. So wickedness camouflages its mission. It masquerades within the civility of a crisp police or para-militaristic uniform. Evil pretends to be legitimate authority, the one bringing order and protection from terror. In truth, unbridled authority is the greatest evil of all.
How can you tell if a country, a government or your own politicians are evil? It really is easy if you’ll open your eyes and LOOK carefully at what they DO, not just what they say.
In the past, I counseled many young women who were having relationship problems with husbands and boyfriends. They would listen to what a man said to them, and if they liked the guy, they would have a tendency to believe him even if their spirit told them he was lying. So when they asked me if a guy really loved them, my standard response was: “Don’t just listen to his words; look at his behavior. If he says he loves you, but his deeds don’t bear that out, you’ll have your answer.”
Deeds are a far better indication of anyone’s true beliefs than what they say. Any government that lies to you over and over again, isn’t really honest at all. There comes a point where you are a fool if you keep believing all of the lies they tell you. “Read my lips, no new taxes.” “If you like your doctor and your plan, you can keep your doctor and your plan.” Any politician who consistently tells us what we want to hear instead of what the truth is, does not have our best interests at heart. So don’t be surprised when next they want you to drink some of their kool-aid.
When I attended Bible college, one of my professors was fond of saying, “It is never right to do wrong in order to do right.” In other words, you don’t want to attempt to achieve a good end by using unethical or dishonest means. Don’t lie or steal or trick people in order to give them something that you know is good for them. When you use dishonest and deceptive methods upon others, you are in essence saying that they are stupid and that you need to do this for their good. If, as a Christian you have to cheat to get your way, you should seriously question your own morality.
The same rule should hold true with government. When any government uses dishonest tactics on its people, lying to them “for their own good,” the citizens should begin to suspect everything that their government says. If the bureaucrats don’t trust us with the truth, how can we trust them with it? If they think their moral judgment is superior to the people who put them into power, that makes a clear statement that we have the wrong leaders.
Do you think it is a good idea for your government to silently assassinate (without a trial) any of its own citizens who have compromised the safety of our country? If you have a speck of moral integrity in your heart, the answer to both of those questions should be a loud “no.” If it isn’t, then I would ask you if it is okay for the government to hold YOU in prison without a charge? Is it okay for the state to assassinate YOU without a trial, making it look like an accident or a suicide? Only idiots answer yes.
It is virtually never right to do wrong, no matter how we think our ultimate motives are so superior. And the truth is that almost all of the western governments (the United States and Europe specifically) have engaged in incredible amounts of unlawful behavior. Our own governments have engaged in false imprisonments, political assassinations, torture, theft, drug running, human trafficking and so much more, all in the name of keeping us safe. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. This is the truth. Many of those who have been involved in such behavior have blown the whistle or written books telling the truth. Knowing the seamy side of government should only make you all the more wary of your own state.

What About Romans 13?

Shouldn’t we submit to the government? Not when it is tyrannical or corrupt. Look at how the Old Testament prophets resisted the Hebrew governments who departed from God. Romans 13 does not tell you to obey tyranny. Plain and simple. The following video explains how the government is actually using to get the church to be fearful of losing its tax exempt status. If you’re hearing anything on this, you should check out this video below. It interviews Chuck Baldwin on his book entitled “Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission”.

Almost all countries and politicians therefore feel that one of their most important tasks is to control the minds of the citizenry in such a way that they can be manipulated into giving the government carte blanche control. People, even Christian people, are inevitably brainwashed by the government and state controlled so-called free media so that we feel we must never disobey. We must do exactly what we are ordered to do. After all, you are dependent upon your government for subsidies and it has your best interests at heart.

One of the holocaust films that I watched really unnerved me. It was taken in Russia after the Germans took over a large area of Soviet territory. Several hundred well dressed men in street clothes had just been rounded up. The soldiers were barking orders at them and telling each line—one at a time—to run towards an open pit, where they were lined up. In view of the next group they were shot and fell into a massive grave. It seemed incredulous to me that these men could see they were going to be shot, yet they obeyed the orders to run to their execution making the butcher’s job easier. Why didn’t they run? Why didn’t they rush their attackers—even with their bare hands?

Yet you can understand the psychology of the situation. You are not resisting; you are doing as you’re told. You are not a problem, why would they hurt you? Until suddenly you come face to face with the full truth. Even then, your will has been so smashed down that you simply don’t know how to react. You don’t know how to let your anger rise up and force yourself to resist, fighting back because as a good citizen you have never even entertained such a thought.

Will we be like those poor victims of the Nazi holocaust? You need to make sure NOW, that you are emotionally, mentally and spiritually ready to handle anything that might be coming down, because it is surely coming just like what happened before and during World War 2.

Ah, it will never happen in America,you might be thinking. If you think that you’re ignoring the evidence just like they did during the era that experienced the holocaust. Everything that is necessary to run a full-fledged police state is already in place set up within the United States. Hundreds of concentration and death camps are already built (not just the FEMA Camps, there are many others hidden away). Millions of mass produced coffins are already spread throughout the country. Thousands of specially built train cars have been constructed to transport the “unnecessary” or the rebellious populace to these prisons.

Police forces and the local state troops are all training together so that they can work under the same umbrella. Everyone of the agencies under the control of the white house are armed to the teeth with billions of rounds of ammo, swat teams, armor, bullet proof vests, etc. The arming of these agencies include all of what you would think of as agencies that simply don’t need this to do their normal jobs like the social security administration, the IRS, the postal service, the national weather department and so on. But agencies like the FBI, the Depart of Homeland Insecurity and all of the more potentially belligerent departments are “combat ready” to take on the citizens of the United States.

Thousands of tanks, drones, and armor are all deployed and ready to be used against the American people when some kind of a false flag event, financial meltdown or other disaster descends upon the country. When the trigger event takes place, the president will simply declare martial law and proclaim that it is “for our safety.” The executive orders have already been enacted and so it will all be “legal” (even though it defies the US Constitution). Depending upon the emergency that is used to justify the order of martial law, law abiding citizens will be removed from their homes and properties and transported to the camps. All of this is ALREADY PLANNED and the actual official documents that instruct the different governments departments about what they are to do have all been written. All of this is ALREADY SET UP. They are just improving and expanding upon it on a daily basis, having multitudes of drills to get the people used to the idea of the government locking down the population.

My prayer is that the citizens of my country and my fellow Christian brethren will never reach the point where they hide their head in the sand and miss the signs of the times that are clearly evident. I believe what is coming is inevitable just like it was once Hitler took power in Germany. When all of this unfolds, you will have a choice in how you respond to what you face.
 

You can quietly do what you’re told, and keep obeying to the point of your own extermination. Or you can say to yourself, “What they’re doing is wrong! And I WILL RESIST even if it causes my death. But I won’t go quietly to slaughter.”

Now you might think, if their is a national emergency and a state of martial law is declared, it could be that their goals are not as sinister as an extermination. Why would they do that? For the answer to this, it is important that you read more about the international banksters who are using our own leaders, the United Nations and our own government to pursue their own agenda.

The United Nations actually has a document that describes much of what they are going to do and it is Agenda 21. They want to make the world into one big government (a “new world order”) in which they are in charge. And they believe that the population of the world is too large. So they have actually stated (and they are clearly working on) reducing the population of the world by NINETY PERCENT. The primary reason for this is that they can control a smaller population much better than a larger one. This is all really a business decision and the “extra people” in the world are seen only as “expendable capital” which must be eliminated.

And there are no other people on earth more likely to see what’s going on and fight against this agenda than the American population. We are used to freedom, and freedom is not what the international banksters want for the world in their new world order. So you can count on the fact that Americans are just too freedom oriented to be considered an asset. They are a liability because their way of thinking will be in opposition to those in power. So they need to be wiped out.

Double that for Christian Americans. If any group within America has two targets upon their chests, it is the Christians. Everything we stand for, they are against. Everything they stand for, we are against. So we will certainly be first in line to be transported out of the population centers and taken to the FEMA concentration camps. If you don’t want to believe this, I sincerely invite you to do some real research on what I’m saying. If we don’t get our heads out of the sand and stop acting like Christian Ostriches, we’ll end up buried in that same sand.

The primary group you should research is the Bilderberg Group. These international banksters have a clear agenda and it isn’t pretty. And these people are not nameless, faceless men and women. While they try to do their world outside of the public’s knowledge, we do know a lot about these men and women and their agenda, which is both illegal in all of the countries where they operate and it is also incredibly wicked. I’ll have a lot of articles on this site about them soon, but until I get them up, do your own research. Watch some of the excellent videos on YouTube about this group and how they have their tentacles into every facet of western governments.

The Bilderberg members include all of the US Presidents for the last couple of decades as well as the last traitor that left the white house. The banksters are directing all of these men. The world thinks our presidents and prime ministers are in charge of their own governments. The reality is that these politicians have been bought and paid for by these powerful men behind the scenes who are pushing all the world governments toward the same end, which is the unification of all world governments into a massive one world government scheme. And this agenda will certainly not include either Americans or Christians in their future, that’s for sure!

As a Christian, the moment you realize that you are dealing with the forces of evil, you simply MUST make a stand. If you don’t rebel against evil, you will become its victim. To do anything less is to allow yourself and your family to be led to quite literally to slaughter.

With this in mind, it is essential that every Christian citizen of any country, especially in the western world, should keep their eyes wide open, their ears pressed to the wall, and their spirits highly in tune to the Holy Spirit. In these troubling times, we need to know as much as we can, so we can have as much advance warning as possible as the storm clouds continue to brew on our horizon.

And be sure about this, the time is short before world events explode in our faces and the coming martial law is clamped down upon us. So make your preparations about how you are going to deal with it when it comes.

Some nuclear events are survivable.

Much depends on the type of event and your proximity to ground zero. Event possibilities range from dirty bombs that may distribute radiation over a small area, to nuclear accidents and nuclear weapon detonation that create large amounts of destruction and contamination. Your first goal is to avoid nuclear fallout, so you should take shelter immediately following a nuclear event. Then, you must mitigate the exposure that you do receive. Stay informed of local recommendations for your area, but be aware that your local news reporting may be designed to prevent mass panic, rather than give the best advice.

Harmful Effects of Radiation Exposure

The harmful effects of radiation exposure are many and varied. Some effects go unnoticed, only to cause cancers months or years later.

Before exposure and immediately after exposure, you should act quickly to prevent absorption and remove radioactive substances from the body. There are a number of supplements and compounds that can help you detoxify and prevent damage. Each acts differently and some, like Iodine, are specific to only one radioisotope, so plan to use all of these methods, or as many as possible, for best results.

The Law of Selective Uptake

One important principle in protecting the body from the absorption of nuclear isotopes is the law of selective uptake. Reduced to bare bones, it means that radioactive isotopes look like nutrients to the body, so if the body is deficient, it will grab hold of the isotope and use it in the body. You can prevent this absorption by taking extra doses of the nutrients. Iodine supplements protect against iodine-131, cesium-137 mimics potassium in the body, strontium-90 mimics calcium, Plutonium-239 mimics iron, and cobalt-60 mimics vitamin B-12. Your first line of defense it to be nutritionally sound and take supplements for these minerals or vitamin when exposure is imminent or immediately following exposure.

We’ll talk about these supplements in more detail below:

#1. Iodine

A nuclear or radiological event can release large amounts of Iodine-131 into the atmosphere. This radioactive iodine is quickly absorbed by the thyroid creating problems for the body immediately or even years later.

Researchers investigating the Chernobyl nuclear accident found that potassium Iodide reduced thyroid exposure to radiation with minimal side effects. Taking a dose of potassium Iodide or nascent iodine before the event or immediately after can fill the iodine receptors on the thyroid and prevent absorption of radioactive Iodine-131. Nascent iodine is the most bioavailable form of iodine for this purpose, but potassium iodide (KI) is often recommended as well. One dose protects the body for 24 hours. If exposure is ongoing, daily doses will be needed, follow the recommendations of local authorities.

#2. Potassium

Potassium supplements protect the body from exposure to Cesium-137, another radioactive isotope that is commonly found in the environment following a nuclear event. Since cesium-137 mimics potassium in the body, immediate doses saturate the body with potassium and prevent absorption of cesium-137. Rich potassium sources in the diet is a good first line of defense, but it may not be enough. Potassium Orotate is the best form of potassium supplements to use for radiation exposure. Follow dosing guidelines on the product you choose, since too much potassium can have ill effects.

#3. Calcium and Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium protect the body from absorbing Strontium-90. Supplementing with these nutrients has been proven to reduce strontium-90 absorption by up to 90 percent. As mentioned earlier strontium-90 mimics calcium, but these two minerals work together and need to be balanced, so for best results take daily supplements of both of these minerals.

#4. Iron

Some women take iron on a regular basis, but most men do not need regular supplementation. However, in a nuclear event, iron supplements can prevent the uptake of Plutonium-239. Take a daily iron supplement during exposure, but consult a physician about long term use.

#5. Vitamin B-12

A fast absorbing vitamin B-12 supplement, such as Methylcobalamin can protect the body from exposure to cobalt-60. Cobalt-60​ is a product of nuclear reactors, so exposure could come from an accident at a nuclear reactor. It is also used in radiation therapy and could come from a spill or a dirty bomb. Take vitamin B-12 daily, following the label recommendations.

#6. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is a controversial sulfur compound that has been shown to actively detoxify the body and protect against the harmful effects of radiation. Animal studies show that DMSO protects DNA from breakage due to radiation exposure and guards against cell destruction. A Japanese study showed that even low doses of DMSO provide protection against radiation damage at a cellular level and can facilitate DNA repair. More research into DMSO is needed, but so far the results are promising. The FDA has not approved it’s use except for preservation of transplant organs and for cases of interstitial cystitis. If you choose to use DMSO, look for pure sources containing no other solvents, except possibly a small amount of water.

#7. Zeolite Clay

Zeolites clean the body of toxins and radioactive particles in the same way they clean the environment. Their porous structure and affinity for positive ions allow them to bind toxins and nuclear waste to them and remove them as they pass through the body. Zeolite Clay can be safely taken internally and was widely used for detoxification at Chernobyl. In addition to detoxifying the body, it is useful in removing nuclear contamination from the environment and can be used to mop floors and clean walls in contaminated areas.

#8. Other Clays

Bentonite, Fuller’s Earth, Kaolin, red clay, French Green Clay, and other clays are also effective at binding nuclear waste and removing it from the body.  Clay particles are negatively charged, so positively charged radioactive ions are attracted to them. They can be taken internally or used to scrub down the body to remove external contamination. Clay’s are considered safe to consume, but be sure to purchase a pure, food grade clay.

#9. Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is useful for absorbing and neutralizing a number of poisons and toxins, including radiation. Studies show that activated charcoal is able to neutralize up to 70 percent of its weight in radioactive toxins. Other uses for activated charcoal include: natural remedy for dental infections, kidneys infections, ear infections, lowers blood pressures, water purifier and many more.

#10. Papain

Papain is a natural enzyme found in papaya fruit and known for its ability to reduce toxins. Studies in mice show that it helps exposed mice survive lethal radiation doses. Early research suggests that papain reduces skin reactions and other side effects following radiation therapy.

#11. Bee Pollen

Recent studies suggest that bee pollen is effective in preventing and relieving the negative effects of radiation therapies by boosting the body’s defenses and supporting natural functions and it could provide these same benefits after a nuclear event.

#12. Beets

Beets are excellent sources of antioxidants, which can help protect the body from the stresses of radiation exposure. They also help the body rebuild hemoglobin broken down as a result of exposure. Animal studies show that rats eating a diet heavy in beets had less effects after exposure to cesium-137. They were able to absorb and detoxify up to twice the radiation dose of the control group.

#13. Cold-pressed Organic Vegetable Oils

Olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil and other healthy oils offer some protection during and after radiation exposure. Lipids in the oils offer protection to individual cells, lining the cell membrane and binding toxins before they can cause cell damage. Animal studies show that mice fed oil are protected from doses of x-rays ranging from 300 to 2,400 roentgens and can survive lethal doses. The recommendation is to drink ½ cup of oil as soon as possible after exposure.

#14. Organic Germanium-132

Organic Germanium-132 is an ultra-modern mineral that increases oxygenation of the cells, supports the immune system and helps the body get rid of toxins, including radiation. Recent studies in the US and Japan have been experimenting with doses of 500 to 1000 mg per day for various medical conditions, but current recommendations in Japan are that exposed individuals take 100 mg daily of Organic Germanium-132.

It is important to note that only organic germanium is recommended here. Inorganic germanium is highly toxic. In minerals, the term organic has a different meaning than in food and inorganic germanium is a completely different compound.

#15. Prussian Blue

Prussian Blue, also known as ferric ferrocyanide, is useful as an antidote for Cesium-137 when the radioactive isotope has been ingested. In the Brazilian Goiânia incident, researchers found that treatment with up to 10 grams of Prussian Blue daily removed up to 70 percent of the Cesium-137 from the body and reduced it’s effects accordingly. This is an experimental antidote for use only in cases of known exposure to cesium-137.

#16. Organic Brewers Yeast

Some sources recommend organic Brewers yeast for preventing the effects of radiation and helping the body repair after exposure. Give 5 to 15 mg to children and 25 to 50 mg to adults. For cases of known exposure, this dose can be safely doubled or even tripled.

Other Recommendations

During and following a nuclear event, nutrition and general health are vitally important. Eating fruits and vegetables containing high amounts of antioxidants will help protect the body from the harmful effects of radiation. Obviously, do not consume plants that have been exposed to fallout or grown in contaminated soil, but frozen, dried, freeze-dried and safe fresh produce are healthy and give the body systems a boost.

For best results, each of these remedies should be begun immediately upon a nuclear event or exposure. Preparation is key. You should have these ingredients on hand before an event along with instructions on how to use them.
