The Economic Collapse

We just witnessed one of the biggest military developments in the Middle East in months. It is being reported that a major ground offensive by the Houthis has enabled them to take control of the port city of Mocha right on the coast of the Red Sea, Zuqar Island and the rest of the Hanish island chain, and Mayun Island which is located in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the south entrance into the Red Sea. This is being called a “strategic disaster” for the United States and Saudi Arabia, because it will give the Houthis an iron grip on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Needless to say, investors were spooked by this news. Yesterday we were talking about how Brent crude had suddenly risen to $100 a barrel, but today it shot up to $107 a barrel. West Texas crude is up to $102 a barrel, and that is really freaking people out. Unfortunately, there is no end in sight for this crisis. (Read More...)

For decades, foreign policy experts warned about what would happen if someone decided to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Now we are living that reality. The price of Brent crude just smashed through the $100 barrier after fighting between the U.S. and Iran erupted once again last night. Gasoline and diesel are going to become even more expensive, and that is not good news for our economy at all. But that isn’t the big story. The panic that is starting to spread through global financial markets is not the big story either. The big story is that the war with Iran is dangerously close to spiraling completely and utterly out of control. If that actually happens, we really will be facing an apocalyptic scenario.

The global energy supply crunch is only going to get worse as long as the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe are raging. A lot less oil is getting through the Strait of Hormuz than normal, and diesel production in Russia has been significantly diminished by relentless Ukrainian drone strikes. As a result, we have a facing an unprecedented energy squeeze. The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States has never been this high so late in the calendar year, and the average price of a gallon of diesel in the United States just set yet another all-time record.

Three very dangerous hurricanes are churning in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Anak Krakatau has violently erupted. The cataclysmic 1883 eruption of the original Krakatau volcano was one of the loudest and most powerful volcanic eruptions ever recorded, and it significantly reduced global temperatures for an extended period of time. So when Anak Krakatau starts to cause chaos, everyone should be paying attention. Of course here in the United States people are much more concerned about the three enormous hurricanes that are looming dangerously close to U.S. territory. (Read More...)

As you enjoy your Labor Day weekend, you may notice that gasoline and diesel are unusually expensive right now. As I will document in this article, gasoline prices have never been this high on Labor Day weekend, and the cost of diesel is now the highest that it has ever been in the entire history of our country. Needless to say, the soaring cost of diesel is really bad news for our economy, because most of our trains, most of our tractors and most of our trucks run on diesel. In addition, approximately 90 percent of the 500,000 school buses in the United States run on diesel. Unfortunately, this is only just the beginning. The war in the Middle East is not going to end any time soon, and neither is the war in Ukraine. In fact, I am convinced that a lot more war is ahead of us. (Read More...)

A lot of people out there never thought that things would get this far. In America today, churches are burning to the ground all over the country. This is happening because we have imported large numbers of people that are extremely hostile to Christianity from foreign nations and because multiple generations of our young people have been raised in our overtly anti-Christian public school system. From kindergarten all the way through college, kids are trained to view the Christian faith through a hostile lens. Meanwhile, they are brainwashed by anti-Christian propaganda in our music, in our television shows and in our movies. In such an environment, the fact that Christian persecution is increasing should not come as a surprise to anyone. (Read More...)

We have never been closer to nuclear war than we are right now. The Russians are absolutely furious that NATO countries have been providing many of the long-range missiles and long-range drones that have been raining down on their major cities night after night. They are publicly threatening the UK and Germany, and I believe that we should be taking those threats very seriously. Meanwhile, the fact that the Russians are openly aiding Iran’s war effort is deeply upsetting the Trump administration. At this stage, the Russians are not even trying to hide it. Both sides just continue to push the envelope, and that has brought us dangerously close to a shooting war with Russia. Of course once a shooting war with Russia starts, a single wrong move could potentially trigger a full-blown nuclear exchange. (Read More...)

I want to be very careful with what I say in this article, because the forecasts that I am going to discuss are not completely certain. Meteorologists are telling us that a tropical disturbance in the Pacific Ocean known as “95E” has now become a named storm known as Tropical Storm Marie. That just happened a little while ago. It is expected that Tropical Storm Marie will develop into a hurricane, and some models indicate that it could move in a northerly direction toward Southern California. If this storm were to make landfall in California as a hurricane, that would be an extremely unusual event, because no hurricane has ever made landfall in the entire recorded history of the state of California.
