Just when it seems like we can’t possibly go any lower, we always manage to top ourselves.  In the old days, every once in a while I would come across a story that would make me shake my head in disbelief because it was just so absurd.  Now it is happening on a daily basis.  In this article I am going to share some examples with you.  I realize that some of these things are difficult to believe, but all of them are true.  Our country really is coming apart at the seams right in front of our eyes, and the pace of our national decline only seems to be accelerating.  If we are not able to turn our cultural decay around, eventually we will not have a country at all.

Let me start with a new law which will go into effect in Illinois on January 1st.

From that point forward, those guilty of second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary and arson will always be released without having to post any bail at all…

When a new Illinois law takes effect next year, it will do away with the cash bail system in the state, meaning suspects charged with felonies, including second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and arson, will be released without bail.

The Counter Signal reports the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act, also called the SAFE-T Act, would end cash bail and includes 12 non-detainable offenses, second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and arson without bail, as well as drug-induced homicide, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, intimidation, aggravated DUI, aggravated fleeing and eluding, drug offenses and threatening a public official.

When the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023, criminals charged with the crimes mentioned above will be released without bail.

How many hardened criminals do you think will actually show up for their trials?

I am sure that there will be a few.

Of course many of our “woke judges” are doing their very best to make sure that many violent criminals never pay the price for their crimes even if they do stand trial.

In California, a judge recently granted a mistrial to one defendant just because he didn’t get a good night of sleep the night before…

A California judge, who hails from a powerful Democrat family who endorsed LA DA George Gascon, granted a mistrial for a man facing life in prison because he was sleepy.

The alleged criminal apparently did not get a good night’s rest before the trial after spending the night in a cell without a bed or blanket.

Seriously?

So now this violent criminal is back on the streets even though he pointed a gun in the face of a female fast food worker and threatened to blow her brains out…

Vamazae Elgin Banks, 24, appeared in court after threatening a McDonald’s worker with a gun before stealing less than $100.

Court records accused Banks of telling the cashier at the fast food joint that he would kill her if she didn’t produce the cash quickly enough, allegedly telling her ‘hurry up or I’ll blow your brains out!’

Our system of justice is systematically being destroyed.

But many Americans simply don’t care because they are drugged out of their minds.

The United States has the biggest problem with legal drugs on the entire planet, and it also has the biggest problem with illegal drugs on the entire planet.

When I saw the following story, I thought that it perfectly summed up where we are as a nation today…

A speeding woman is accused of driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol when she crashed into another car, killing its driver who was under the influence of methamphetamine, police said.

Summer Butler, 37, faces charges of DUI resulting in death, reckless driving and being in possession of a controlled substance in connection with the fatal crash in January, court documents obtained by the 8 News Now I-Team said.

At this point, it seems like almost everyone is an addict, and that includes many of our government officials.  Here is just one example…

A Louisiana state official was arrested for allegedly buying drugs from a drug dealer outside of a fast food chain on Tuesday.

Bridgette Hull, 37, serves as the executive secretary for the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners. She was purchasing drugs from dealer Steven McCarthy, who was under surveillance, when a Louisiana Attorney General Office employee recognized him at a Livingston Parish restaurant.

Hull was arrested onsite, but McCarthy fled the scene after back up was called – resulting in a pursuit. He later crashed into another car and was arrested.

If we would secure our borders, we could at least reduce the flow of illegal drugs into this country.

But the Biden administration refuses to do that.

And so the worst drug crisis in all of U.S. history will continue to escalate, and substances that are laced with fentanyl will continue to kill countless numbers of our young people…

San Diego and Imperial County comprise the epicenter of fentanyl drug trafficking in the United States, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which reported that seizures of fentanyl in San Diego were up 323% in FY2019-FY2021 and that fentanyl overdose deaths increased 2,375% in San Diego County between 2016 and 2021.

“A decade ago, we didn’t even know about fentanyl, and now it’s a national crisis,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California Randy Grossman. “The amount of fentanyl we are seizing at the border is staggering. The number of fentanyl seizures and fentanyl-related deaths in our district are unprecedented.”

If you are waiting for our national leaders to fix our growing problems, you are going to be waiting for a really, really long time.

Every major decision they make seems to make things even worse, and the Biden administration keeps appointing extremely alarming individuals to top positions of power.

In fact, Biden just appointed a “doctor” that is absolutely obsessed with pentagrams to be the National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator.

Meet Demetre Daskalakis.
Demetre was just appointed by Joe Biden to be the official White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator. Demetre proudly wears the official symbol of the Church of Satan: The Pentagram.

Not cherry picking here. The Pentagram is proudly displayed in his *promotional* photos for a CDC appointment. It’s ubiquitous on his social media. Demetre has Pentagram tattoos.

So it’s a fair question: Did Joe Biden appoint a Satanist? pic.twitter.com/471Fp3uKss

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) September 8, 2022

So far, only a very small handful of conservatives are objecting to his appointment to such an important position.

What in the world is wrong with this country?

Have we gone completely and totally nuts?

Perhaps we have.  At this point, close to one-fourth of all Democratic voters actually believe that men can get pregnant…

A poll conducted by WPA Intelligence has found that almost one quarter of Democratic voters believe that “some men can become pregnant.”

Twenty-two percent of Democrats overall agreed with the statement.

The poll also found that more women agreed with the statement, and an incredible 36 percent of white, college-educated female Democrats agreed.

We aren’t just in a state of decline.

The truth is that we are in a very advanced state of decline and the clock is ticking.

If you love this nation, what has happened to us should deeply sadden you.

We were once the greatest country on the entire planet, but now we are rapidly being destroyed from within.

Please wake up America, because time to do anything about all of this is quickly running out.

For years, bad things have been happening to California.  Is there a reason why the state is being forced to endure crisis after crisis?  This week, an unprecedented heat wave is making headlines all over the globe.  Over a million California residents experienced high temperatures of at least 110 degrees on Tuesday, and Wednesday was the ninth day in a row when at least some part of the state has been under a heat alert.  Of course this comes at the tail end of a summer that has been extremely bitter.  The endless heat and endless drought have been absolutely devastating agricultural production, and it seems like the wildfires never stop.

California could really use a break right now, but instead it appears that the current heat wave may stick around for a while…

A record-breaking heat wave has baked the West for days — setting record high temperatures, fueling destructive wildfires and threatening rolling power shutoffs in California — and it could last even longer due to the effects of a strengthening hurricane along Mexico’s Pacific coast.

Of course there have always been heat waves all throughout history, but what we are witnessing right now is not even close to normal.

In recent days, some cities in California have broken old records by over 10 degrees, and the mercury actually reached an all-time record high of 116 degrees in Sacramento…

Sacramento hit 116 degrees Tuesday, the hottest day on record for the state capital, according to the National Weather Service. Records were also broken all over the Bay Area, with some cities shattering previous daily records by more than 10 degrees.

Have you ever experienced 116 degree heat?

That is hot!

In fact, we are being told that this is “the worst September heat wave on record”…

“This will be essentially the worst September heat wave on record, certainly in Northern California and arguably for the state overall,” Swain said. “By some metrics, it might be one of the worst heat waves on record, period, in any month, given its duration and its extreme magnitude, especially in Northern California and especially in the Sacramento region.”

When conditions become this oppressive, people don’t want to go outside at all.

Instead, most just want to stay inside and enjoy the air conditioning.

As a result, there has been an enormous strain on the power grid this week, and rolling blackouts were very narrowly averted on Tuesday…

Californians are being asked to conserve power for the eighth day in a row as the state’s grid operator expects more strain on the energy grid and possibly rotating outages on Wednesday.

Despite record demand on Tuesday, California was able to narrowly avoid rotating outages. The California Office of Emergency Services sent out an emergency alert to people’s phones shortly before 6 p.m.

There was a noticeable drop in energy demand shortly after that alert.

Of course this latest heat wave comes in the midst of the worst multi-year megadrought in the region in 1,200 years.  Agricultural production in the state is being hit extremely hard, and it is now being reported “that yields could be down by as much as a third this year”…

It’s not the only region of the world struggling with water shortages. A drought that has been enveloping the southwestern United States since 2000 marks the driest 22-year period of the past 1,200 years, a UCLA-led study found. The American Farm Bureau Federation suggests that yields could be down by as much as a third this year compared with last year because of drought and extreme heat.

Maybe you don’t care about what is happening to California, but you should care.

California normally grows about a third of our vegetables and about two-thirds of our fruits and nuts.

So if you plan to eat next year, what is happening to the state should matter to you.

A couple of of weeks ago, I wrote about the looming tomato shortage that is being caused by the drought.  The state of California accounts for approximately 25 percent of all tomato production in the entire world, and a lack of moisture is really hurting tomato farmers in the state this year.

As a result, there will be a lot less spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce to go around in 2023.

The endless drought has also created ideal conditions for wildfires to erupt and thrive.

Over the Labor Day Weekend, more than 4,000 firefighters were working to contain 14 different large wildfires in the state.

Of course dealing with wildfires has basically become a way of life in California these days.

There is one last thing that I wanted to mention in this article.  As water levels drop all over the region, things are being revealed that have not been seen in generations.

In fact, in the central part of the state an entire ghost town from the Wild West has now emerged out of the water…

At Lake Isabella, nestled within the southern Sierra Nevada foothills in Central California, the telltale signs of drought are all too visible. The shoreline resembles a giant toilet bowl ring around the lake’s edge, while the detritus of long-forgotten secrets in various stages of decay poke up from the lake’s bottom.

Now at 8% capacity, the man-made lake is revealing the foundations of one of the Wild West’s most infamous towns — and it’s all visible from the shore, or accessible by boat.

Welcome to the re-emergence of Whiskey Flat: one of the wildest, most storied, tragedy-laden places to ever come out of the Old West and the Gold Rush era. A place with a history so familiar, it’s stitched into American folklore. Many of the tropes, tall tales and tragedies of the Old West can be traced to this long-flooded valley.

The state was full of sinister characters in those days, and the same is true in our time.

It is often said that as California goes, so goes the nation.

California always seems to be on the cutting edge of everything that is wrong with this country, and the future of the state is not bright.

But most Californians are just going to keep on living the way that they have been living, and very few of them ever stop to think about the consequences.

Unfortunately for all of them, the clock is ticking and a day of reckoning is fast approaching.

The post Why Is California Being Forced To Go Through Yet Another Historic Nightmare? appeared first on End Of The American Dream.

Things are far worse than you are being told.  Over the past few months, I have been carefully documenting facts that show that global food production is going to be way down in 2022.  Unfortunately, most people out there don’t seem to understand that the food that isn’t being grown in 2022 won’t be on our store shelves in 2023.  We are potentially facing an absolutely unprecedented worldwide food crisis next year, but the vast majority of the population doesn’t seem very alarmed about this.  So I would encourage you to help me get this warning out by sharing this list with as many people as you possibly can.  As you will see below, we now have so many data points that it is impossible to deny what is coming.  The following is a list of 33 things we know about the coming food shortages…

#1 The hard red winter wheat crop in the United States this year “was the smallest since 1963”.  But in 1963, there were only 182 million people living in this nation.  Today, our population has grown to 329 million.

#2 It is being projected that the rice harvest in California will be “half what it would be in a normal year”.

#3 The U.S. tomato harvest will come in at just 10.5 million tons in 2022.  That is over a million tons lower than a normal year.

#4 This will be the worst U.S. corn harvest in at least a decade.

#5 Year-to-date shipments of carrots in the United States are down 45 percent.

#6 Year-to-date shipments of sweet corn in the United States are down 20 percent.

#7 Year-to-date shipments of sweet potatoes in the United States are down 13 percent.

#8 Year-to-date shipments of celery in the United States are down 11 percent.

#9 Total peach production in the U.S. is down 15 percent from last year.

#10 Almost three-fourths of all U.S. farmers say that this year’s drought is hurting their harvests.

#11 Thanks to the endless drought, the total number of cattle in Oregon is down 41 percent.

#12 Thanks to the endless drought, the total number of cattle in New Mexico is down 43 percent.

#13 Thanks to the endless drought, the total number of cattle in Texas is down 50 percent.

#14 One beef producer in Oklahoma is now predicting that ground beef “could eventually top $50 per pound”.

#15 At least 40 percent of the United States has been suffering from drought conditions for 101  consecutive weeks.

#16 Overall, this is the worst multi-year megadrought in the United States in 1,200 years.

#17 Europe is currently experiencing the worst drought that it has seen in 500 years.  In some parts of central Europe, river levels have fallen so low that “hunger stones” are being revealed for the first time in centuries.

#18 Corn production for the entire EU could be down by as much as one-fifth in 2022.

#19 We are being warned that there will be crop losses in France of up to 35 percent.

#20 It is being projected that crop losses in some areas of the UK could be as high as 50 percent.

#21 It is being reported that there will be crop losses “of up to 50 percent” in some parts of Germany.

#22 Some farmers in Italy have already lost “up to 80% of their harvest”.

#23 Agricultural production in Somalia will be down about 80 percent this year.

#24 In eastern Africa, the endless drought has already resulted in the deaths of at least seven million animals.

#25 In China, they are facing the worst drought that they have ever experienced in recorded history.

#26 India normally accounts for 40 percent of the global rice trade, but we are being warned that production in that country will be way down in 2022 due to “considerable rainfall deficits in key rice producing states”.

#27 A third of the entire nation of Pakistan was under water after recent floods absolutely devastated that nation, and agricultural areas were hit particularly hard.  As a result, the vast majority of the crops in the country have been “washed away”…

It has also been estimated that roughly 65 per cent of the country’s food basket — particularly crops like rice, cotton, wheat and onion — have been washed away.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, in an interview to CGTN earlier this week, offered an even starker outlook by saying that “about 80 to 90 per cent” of the country’s crops have been damaged by the floods.

#28 The prices of some fertilizers have tripled since 2021, while the prices of some other fertilizers have actually quadrupled.

#29 One payment company is reporting that the number of Americans using their app to take out short-term loans for groceries has risen by 95 percent.

#30 Demand at U.S. food banks is now even worse than it was during the height of the COVID pandemic.

#31 The World Health Organization is telling us that millions of people in Africa are now potentially facing a very real possibility of starving to death.

#32 According to the World Food Program, 828 million people around the world go to bed hungry each night.  Needless to say, that number will soon be much higher.

#33 UN Secretary General António Guterres has publicly stated that he believes that it is likely that there will be “multiple famines” in 2023.

As global food supplies get tighter and tighter, so will the risk of civil unrest.

In fact, this has already been happening…

The risk of civil unrest has surged this year in more than half of the world’s countries, signaling a coming period of heightened global instability fueled by inflation, war, and shortages of essentials, a new analysis says.

According to Verisk Maplecroft, a UK-based risk consulting and intelligence firm, 101 of the 198 countries tracked on its Civil Unrest Index saw an increase in their risk of civil unrest between the second and third quarters of this year.

In recent weeks, we have seen absolutely massive protests in cities all over the planet.

But conditions aren’t even that bad yet.

So what will things be like in 2023 when it finally becomes exceedingly clear that there simply will not be enough food for everyone?

Wealthy countries will have the resources to buy up much of what is available on the market, and that means that many poor countries will deeply suffer.

If everything that you have read in this article sounds familiar, that is because we have been warned for years that such conditions were coming.

In 2023, there will be famines and civil unrest all over the globe.

This is not a drill.  An extremely serious global food crisis has already begun, and I would encourage you to get prepared for what is ahead while you still can.

As A Way To Introduce You To Skilled Survival, We’re Giving Away Our #78 Item Complete Prepper Checklist. Click Here To Get Your FREE Copy Of It.

What Exactly Are Window Security Bars

Window bars are protective metal bars for windows. These devices make entry into your home near impossible.

Their sole purpose is to prevent access through a window. They typically include bolting heavy-duty metal bars over your windows. Thus, leaving room for airflow.

There are several types of burger bars for windows, including:

Permanent Bars

You install these window safety bars with the intention of them being permanent.

You will have dedicated security long-term with this type.

Hinged Bars

You can get window bars that will give you the benefit of restricted access through your windows. But still can unlock and swing them open for cleaning the windows.

In an emergency situation, you may need to open them to escape through the window.

Removable Bars

Its function is in the name.

You get unobstructed windows during the day and at night and gain the ability to secure your windows.

These are typically found on business storefronts. But also works in your home or homestead.

Metal bars for windows are another layer of security for your home. And they’re a great visual deterrent for those who wish to gain unlawful entry.

Why Do You Need Window Security Bars

Unless you live full-time in an underground bunker, you’ve been paying attention to world events.

Countries are in chaos with food shortages, natural disasters, and protests all around.

Extremist groups are smashing and grabbing everything they can get their hands on without recourse. And it’s not going to get better any time soon.

When people are desperate, they do desperate things, and you don’t want to be a victim of a house break-in.

Security bars have one job; to prevent access through your windows.

While this is their purpose, their function covers many situations.

1. Burglary

If someone is coming to your home to steal, they need to gain entry fast.

Windows are typically a weak point, so it’s essential to upgrade your security set up with window bars.

2. Protect Your Business

If you have a business location that’s not at your property, it is vulnerable to break-ins.

During the day, you and your staff are around. But when everyone leaves, gaining access is pretty easy through windows.

You can remedy this by installing burglar bars on windows and doors. This will keep your business protected overnight.

3. Keep Pets Safe

You may need to keep the windows open in hot weather, which could be an escape path for pets.

You don’t want your cat or dog slipping out when you aren’t around.

Keep them safe and secure with window bars.

4. Children

An open window is a dangerous falling hazard for young kids, and you don’t want to be part of the statistic.

When security bars on open windows, kids can see outside and get fresh air without the risk of falling out.

5. Off-Grid Cabin/Bug Out Location

If you’re a survivalist, you probably have a remote bug-out location. A place where you can head to when a major world crisis occurs.

This is a place where you have stockpiled food supplies, weapons, and survival gear.

Having it secure means staying alive, so you have to install window security bars.

Then when you get to the cabin, everything is ready for you because nobody can access it.

Great Window Security Bar Safety Features

First off, having window bars is a safety feature in itself, but there are extra deterrents you can use.

You should use unique tamper-resistant screws for exterior window bars. Once you drive them in, no one is getting them out without the right tool.

They can either have a slip side when trying to back them off or a head that requires a special tool to fit in and turn them.

Most intruders will not have this tool, so they will give up quickly when they see this.

Some models have quick release functions if you need to get out through the window.

This is important for a family. Why? Because becoming trapped inside your home during an invasion or fire, could be deadly.

You can have bars that include an interior bar that spins in place so they can’t be sawed off.

This is a clever safety feature because it will deter a burglar even if they have cutting tools.

Spear edges are also popular. Because if someone tries to reach in to open a latch, or attempt to squeeze in around the side, they’ll get snagged and cut up.

Where To Install Window Bars

The real question is, where shouldn’t I?

Every window in your home, business, and cabin is susceptible to break-ins.

If money allows, you should get them all done. If you’re concerned about the cost or don’t want your place to look like a prison, start with the most vulnerable ones first.

Basement Windows

They are easy to reach, and an intruder can lay on the ground to access them without much hassle.

Blocked Windows

Any windows or glass doors behind trees and bushes give a burglar time to break in while camouflaged.

Backyard Windows

Once an intruder is in the backyard, they can move around unnoticed.

These back windows are off the street. And usually, there are more windows and sliding glass doors outback.

Child Assessable Windows

If you have lower windows in your home where kids can get to, guard them.

Tragically, too many children have fallen to their deaths through open windows.

Business Glass

Any business entrance that’s made of glass can be smashed without much hassle.

So install bars OR window security film on all glass windows and doors for overnight security.

Final Thoughts

Home security is a must-have these days. Because as a responsible, resilient adult, you must protect what’s yours. And keep those inside safe from harm.

Skilled Survival has your safety and security in mind. Our list of window security bars and locks will help fortify your homestead and bug-out cabin.

Dane Wigington of GeoengineeringWatch.org, a site dedicated to the scientific investigation of weather control and modification says that the entire planet is being deliberately plunged into a global famine nightmare.  That means, the global “kill switch” portfolio of technologies being used to control the weather and cause the collapse of the world’s life-sustaining biosphere has been activated to achieve global depopulation.

The world’s governments are actively trying to make the human race as sick as possible. Not only are the ruling classes trying to eliminate clean drinking water so the slaves become even more dependent, but they are also trying to make sure nothing grows. Anywhere. Ever.

That’s the warning from Wigington. This will eventually cause the entire social system to erode and could lead to riots and civil unrest. But that’s exactly what the masters are hoping for. The simultaneous droughts, floods, and freak weather events we are observing right now across the globe are not natural weather events, Wigington warns. They are “engineered” weapons being deployed against humanity under the cover of blaming “climate change.”

Wigington spent an hour speaking with Natual News and outlined a grim future if we continue to allow psychopaths to modify the weather and use it as a weapon against us to control us.

Did you know that Amazon fulfillment centers are catching on fire due to solar panel installations on their roofs? It turns out all that “green” energy is a fire hazard. Remarkably, as CNBC.com reports, 12.7% of Amazon’s buildings that feature solar installations have caught on fire due to “arcing” from the solar installations.

It looks like “going green” also means going up in flames.

If you were a business owner and saw that a new energy system was setting fire to 12.7% of your warehouses, you would shut it down. That’s exactly what Amazon did, too.

So when the sun is shining, solar power is catching buildings on fire. When the sun isn’t shining, solar power produces zero energy.

It’s a lot like when it’s not raining, the municipal water system in Jackson, Mississippi works great. But when it’s raining, the entire system fails, leaving 180,000 people without running water, even as water is literally falling out of the sky. The estimated repair time on that failure? Four months. And that’s if they can even find the parts. (Side question: Where are all the people of Jackson currently crapping, given that nobody can flush toilets across the entire city?)

Remember, too, that you’re supposed to buy an electric vehicle but not charge it, because charging it might collapse the power grid in California, utility officials have warned. –Natural News

If you’ve been paying attention, you can see there’s a global coordinated simultaneous attack on the food supply, water supply, and on people’s immune systems. What comes when all of this fails together is going to be nothing short of catastrophic.

I don’t know how I could say it any more clearly.  At this moment, the vast majority of the population is completely and utterly unprepared for what is ahead of us.  Every day, there are more signs in the news that global events are starting to spiral out of control, but instead of using this summer to get prepared much of the population is partying instead.  This greatly frustrates me, because I have been working extremely hard to try to sound the alarm.  People should be using the window of opportunity that we have this summer to take action, because the months ahead of us will be filled with famine, war, pestilence, natural disasters and severe economic troubles.  Summer officially ends in late September, and I believe that global events will accelerate greatly throughout the remainder of 2022 and into the early stages of 2023.

Most people always think that they have more time to prepare.

But as the people of Mississippi’s largest city recently found out, the opportunity to get prepared can end very abruptly…

Mississippi’s largest city has run out of water indefinitely, leaving 180,000 locals unable to drink from their taps, flush toilets, or shower.

The ailing OB Curtis water plant in Jackson was taken offline after it was overwhelmed by recent flooding, which destroyed backup systems put in place to relieve the elderly plant’s main treatment machinery.

Now, the capital city that is home to 150,000 people and 30,000 surrounding communities are pressed to conserve their rations as officials begin to distribute cases of water bottles in a ‘massively complicated logistical task.’

We are being told that it could take up to four months to completely repair the water plant.

So what will all those people do as they wait?

It is being reported that one prominent restaurant in Jackson is now being forced to spend 800 dollars a day on bottled water…

Restaurants in Mississippi’s largest city are being driven into the ground by a water shortage that’s forcing them to spend up to $800-a-day on bottled water.

Nick Wallace, a chef at Nissan Cafe at the Two Museums complex in Jackson:’I am spending $800 a day on cokes and waters and getting no help from Jackson.’

Meanwhile, another Jackson restaurant called Walker’s Dine-in has been forced to shell out $300-a-day on water.

This is yet another example that shows why having a plan for water should be absolutely central to your prepping plan.

Someday soon the water may stop coming out of your taps.

If that happens, what will you do?

And when a major disaster suddenly strikes, disease can often spread like wildfire.

Right now, approximately a third of Pakistan is covered by water, and doctors find themselves completely overwhelmed by the number of people that are suddenly ill…

Officials in Pakistan raised concern Wednesday over the spread of waterborne diseases among thousands of flood victims, as waters from powerful monsoon rains began to recede in many parts of the country.

Some doctors said initially they were seeing mostly patients traumatized by the flooding, but are now treating people suffering from diarrhea, skin infections and other waterborne ailments in the country’s flood-hit areas. Many pregnant women living in flood-affected areas were also exposed to risks.

And all of the flooding has instantly created extremely serious food shortages in much of the country…

Vegetable and fruit prices have soared in markets across Pakistan as devastating rains ruin crops and disrupt supplies, an early sign of how the worst floods in decades are creating food shortages at a time of financial crisis.

Pakistan’s 220 million people are already facing rampant inflation, with consumer prices up 24.9 per cent year-on-year in July. The economy is in turmoil, with fast-depleting foreign reserves and a record depreciation of the rupee against the U.S. dollar.

In the eastern city of Lahore, close to the border with India and far from the worst floods in Sindh, prices of some vegetables have tripled.

Tonight, there will be countless men, women and children in Pakistan that will go to bed hungry.

How would you and your family fare if a similar disaster suddenly struck where you live?

Most Americans don’t realize that food supplies are also getting tighter here in the United States.

The food that isn’t being grown in 2022 will not be on our store shelves in 2023.  In fact, we are being warned that we could be facing a very serious shortage of tomatoes in the months ahead…

California’s farmers grow nearly all of America’s processing tomatoes, but this year is shaping up to be another poor harvest season. This means products like ketchup, salsa, and pasta sauce could soon be in short supply in stores across the county.

Drought, inflation, and supply chain issues are to blame for this possible shortage, according to California Tomato Growers Association President Mike Montna.

But Joe Biden says that everything is going to be just fine.

You believe him, don’t you?

Before I end this article, I want to talk about energy.

I have always urged my readers to do whatever they could to become more independent from the power grid.

We are in the early stages of the worst global energy crisis in any of our lifetimes, and energy bills are soaring into the stratosphere all over the planet.

For example, just consider what is happening in Ireland…

Over the past week, shocked Europeans – mostly in the UK and Ireland – have been posting viral photos of shockingly high energy bills amid the ongoing (and worsening) energy crisis.

Several of the posts were from small business owners who getting absolutely crushed right now, and won’t be able to remain operational much longer.

One such owner is Geraldine Dolan, who owns the Poppyfields cafe in Athlone, Ireland – and was charged nearly €10,000 (US$10,021) for just over two months of energy usage.

As the Irish Times reports, “The cost of electricity to the Poppyfields cafe for 73 days from early June until the end of August came in at €9,024.70 an increase of 250 per cent in just 12 months. There doesn’t include the €812.22 in VAT, which brought her total bill to €9,836.92.”

Sadly, this is just the beginning.

As energy supplies get even tighter, energy bills are only going to go higher.

In Germany, some manufacturers have already chosen to halt production because of absurdly high energy bills…

As the FT reports, German manufacturers are halting production in response to the surge in energy prices, a trend the government has described as “alarming”. German economy minister Robert Habeck said industry had worked hard to reduce its gas consumption in recent months, partly by switching to alternative fuels like oil, making its processes more efficient and reducing output. But he amusingly clarified, some companies had also “stopped production altogether” — a development he said was “alarming”.

“It’s not good news,” he said, “because it can mean that the industries in question aren’t just being restructured but are experiencing a rupture — a structural rupture, one that is happening under enormous pressure.”

This is not just a temporary problem.

As I explained a few days ago, the prime minister of Belgium says that Europeans will be dealing with this energy crisis for the next five to ten years.

Ouch.

Here in the United States, residents of California are being warned that there could actually be widespread blackouts this week right in the middle of a historic heatwave…

Much of Southern California remains under an excessive heat warning, with the state’s grid operator warning that the high temperatures could lead to blackouts.

The state is facing a prolonged late-summer heat wave, with temperatures expected to reach as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit in some parts, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.

This is yet another example that shows why you should not totally rely on our aging power grids.

In a desperate attempt to conserve energy, California residents are being asked to set their thermostats at 78 degrees or higher…

“If weather or grid conditions worsen, the ISO may issue a series of emergency notifications to access additional resources and prepare market participants and the public for potential energy shortages and the need to conserve,” CAISO officials warned Tuesday night. “The power grid operator expects to call on Californians for voluntary energy conservation via Flex Alerts over the long weekend.”

This could include asking residents to set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid large appliance use and EV charging, and turn off unnecessary lights between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m, when the grid is the most stressed.

Whatever you can do to become more independent of the system is good, because the system is failing.

And all of the examples that I have shared in this article are relatively minor compared to the cataclysmic disasters that we will eventually see.

So please, get prepared while you still can.

This summer will soon be over, and 2023 will be here before you know it.
