Update(1540ET): The death toll in the massive fire that broke out earlier in the day at a sensitive Russian Defense Ministry research facility in the city of Tver has risen to seven after emergency crews battled the Thursday blaze throughout the afternoon, state-run TASS reports.

The cause of the fire is still either unknown or not being disclosed by Russian state agencies at this point, but now, more questions are being raised as another mysterious large blaze has erupted, this time at Russia’s largest chemical plant, a mere hours after the fire in Tver – the latter which had engulfed a facility belonging to the secretive Central Research and Development Institute of Aerospace Defense Troops. UK media is reporting on the latest mystery fire, which marks the 2nd of the day, as follows:

Huge plumes of smoke were seen enveloping the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant late this afternoon. The cause of the fire remains unknown. Almost 150 plant workers were reportedly evacuated.

The facility in Kineshma, east of Moscow produces more industrial solvents than any other in Russia. It is less than 1,000km from the border with Ukraine.

Naturally, observers are starting to ask in connection to Russia’s war in neighboring Ukraine: coincidence? sabotage operation? 

Anti-Putin racecar driver Igor Sushko in tweeting the above video of the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant going up in flames commented: “We are beginning to see a pattern develop.”

This fire occurred on the same day, today as this one:https://t.co/6xGfIEAwR3

And Western mainstream security analysts are also beginning to muse over whether active sabotage could be behind two large Russian facilities going up in flames in one day…

Interesting…

As we noted earlier in relation to the fire at the research facility in Tver, Russia has already been battling a string of forest fires – mostly in remote areas including in Siberia, thus the spread of these fires impacting government or industrial facilities is a possibility; however, there’s been no word from Moscow authorities that the Thursday blazes are linked to this.

Adding to the mystery of the possibility of some kind of intelligence sabotage operation targeting these places, the now largely destroyed defense research facility was reportedly developing Russia’s newest ballistic missile technology…

Interestingly, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry tweeted out the following…

Corruption and irresponsibility in russia has dealt another insidious blow to its war efforts. In Tver, a research institute that develops russia’s Iskander missiles and systems for SU-27 and TU-160 bombers, which have been destroying peaceful Ukrainian cities, has burned down.

Russian media is reporting a large fire at a Russian Defense Ministry research facility in the city of Tver under mysterious circumstances. The site is about 110 miles northwest of Moscow.

There may have possibly been an explosion, given that RT reports two people killed and at least 20 injured, and with aerial footage showing a huge blaze and thick clouds of smoke over the area.

Emergency and rescue personnel are on the scene. The upper floors of the building are said to belong to the government’s Central Research and Development Institute of Aerospace Defense Troops.

“According to preliminary data, the blaze spanned across some thousand square meters and caused a partial collapse of the roof,” Russian media reports.

“The fire had  started in one of the rooms on the second floor of the administrative building.”

There have been reports of an uptick in forest fires in various parts of Russia, but it’s as yet unknown or unclear the cause behind Thursday’s massive blaze.

In all of modern history, the world has never had a worse group of leaders than it does right now, and the fate of civilization is literally in their hands.  If both sides continue to escalate matters, the proxy war in Ukraine will eventually become a shooting war between the United States and Russia.  And once a shooting war between the United States and Russia starts, it will only be a matter of time before it goes nuclear.  It is often said that there are no winners in a nuclear war, and that is certainly true.  But if a nuclear war becomes inevitable, you definitely want to be on the side that strikes first.  Because a devastating surprise first strike may not enable you to “win” a nuclear war, but it will certainly give you the best chance of surviving one.

Donald Trump can see where things are heading.  This week, he penned the most ominous statement that he has ever issued…

“It doesn’t make sense that Russia and Ukraine aren’t sitting down and working out some kind of an agreement. If they don’t do it soon, there will be nothing left but death, destruction, and carnage. This is a war that never should have happened, but it did. The solution can never be as good as it would have been before the shooting started, but there is a solution, and it should be figured out now—not later—when everyone will be DEAD!”

Like Trump, I am desperately hoping that a negotiated agreement can be reached somehow, because if a full-blown nuclear war erupts billions of people will die.

We must not allow that to happen.

Unfortunately, officials in the U.S. are not taking this threat seriously.  In fact, I have been seeing talking heads all over cable news downplaying the threat of nuclear war.  These experts assure us that Russia “would never use nuclear weapons”, but meanwhile Russia continues to feverishly prepare for a potential nuclear war with the United States.

In fact, the Russians just conducted a test of the new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile…

Russia has test launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile, raising fears of a further escalation of Vladimir Putin’s barbaric war in Ukraine.

The Russian leader said the Sarmat missile, also known as Satan-2, will provide ‘food for thought for those who try to threaten Russia’ and will make his enemies ‘think twice’.

It is being reported that the Sarmat has a range of 11,000 miles and can hit any target on the entire planet.

It can carry up to 15 independently targetable warheads, and the Russians are bragging that the collective power of those warheads could destroy an area the size of Texas or France.

Remember, this is just one missile that we are talking about.  Ultimately, the Russians are planning to put vast numbers of these missiles into service.

According to Vladimir Putin, nobody in the world has anything like these new missiles…

“The new complex has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defence. It has no analogues in the world and won’t have for a long time to come,” Putin said.

“This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia’s security from external threats and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country.”

Sadly, he is right.

The U.S. doesn’t have anything even close.

Minuteman III missiles that went into service in the 1970s are still the backbone of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal, and they are not scheduled to be replaced by something new until about 2030.

Needless to say, the test of the new Sarmat missile was intended as a message to anyone that is attempting to aid the Ukrainians…

Russia notified the US of the ICBM test launch in accordance with the New Start treaty, but its rhetoric and choice to go ahead with the treaty stands in stark contrast to the US, which had canceled an ICBM test-launch in March not long after Russia began its war on Ukraine. Putin and his aides have repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons in what experts believe to be a ploy to warn powerful countries like the UK, Germany and the US from coming to Ukraine’s aid.

This missile test represents yet another escalation by the Russians, and that is extremely alarming.

But U.S. officials are escalating matters as well.  On Wednesday, the Biden administration announced another round of sanctions against Russia…

The United States on Wednesday unveiled its latest round of sanctions going after Russia over its war on Ukraine, this time targeting a key commercial bank and “a global network of more than 40 individuals and entities led by U.S.-designated Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev.”

In a news release, the US Treasury Department said it was also targeting “companies operating in Russia’s virtual currency mining industry, reportedly the third largest in the world,” noting it was the first time it has “designated a virtual currency mining company.”

And the Biden administration is also telling us that another “military aid package” will soon be sent to Ukraine…

The Biden administration is preparing to announce another substantial military aid package for Ukraine this week, five U.S officials tell NBC News. Three officials said the package is expected to be similar in size to the $800 million one the administration announced last week.

Two officials said the package is expected to include more artillery and tens of thousands more artillery rounds, which will likely be critical to the fighting in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.

At this point, we are providing most of the weapons and ammunition for the Ukrainian military, we are constantly providing them with battlefield intelligence, and we are even training their troops on our own soil.

Yes, that last part is actually true.  As I have discussed previously, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has publicly admitted that Ukrainian troops are actually being flown to the United States to be trained how to fight the Russians…

“This morning, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ukrainian troops training in the U.S. who are returning home to Ukraine today. Their bravery and skill are amazing. I made clear the U.S. will continue to provide them with the assistance they need.”

Like I said at the beginning of this article, this is a proxy war between the United States and Russia.

If the American people truly understood the implications of what our leaders are doing, there would be massive protests in the streets of every U.S. city right now.

So when will everyone finally wake up?

Hopefully it will be before we get to the “everyone is dead” part of the story.

This article was originally published by Ramon Tomey at Natural News. 

Investigative journalist Jefferey Jaxen joined Del Bigtree on “The HighWire” to reveal that Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) booster doses contributed to higher rates of COVID-19 deaths in different countries.

He showed a chart from Our World In Data that showed spikes in three countries – South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Israel. The chart shows daily new confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people in the three nations, as well as peaks in mortality. Jaxen challenged viewers to take a guess as to what led to these spikes in COVID-19 fatalities.

“Here’s the answer: It was the boosters, the fourth booster added. This is what we’re talking about with the booster program. This thing is in shambles and tying this to the lockdowns, there is a concept that we keep bringing back full circle – which is natural immunity. We wouldn’t really be here if people really respected natural immunity,” said Jaxen.

The investigative journalist cited a pre-print study posted on March 18 on medRxiv to prove the superiority of natural immunity. The paper authored by researchers in Qatar concluded that “natural infection was associated with stronger and more durable protection against infection, regardless of the variant, than mRNA primary-series vaccination.” According to Jaxen, the study authors arrived upon this conclusion by looking at the hazard ratios – the risk of an event occurring – for infection, severe COVID, and COVID deaths.

The Qatar-based researchers wrote in their findings that the overall adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) for natural immunity, when faced with COVID-19 infection, was 0.46 compared to a full vaccination with Pfizer’s BNT162b2 vaccine, and 0.51 compared to a full vaccination for Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine. Jaxen explained: “Natural immunity reduced the risk of infection by 54 percent compared to taking the Pfizer vaccine and by 49 percent compared to taking the Moderna vaccine.” (Related: STUDY: Natural immunity provides significantly better protection against COVID than vaccine immunity.)

Furthermore, the study also pointed out the AHR of natural immunity for any severe, critical or fatal COVID-19 against all variants in relation to the mRNA vaccines.

“Natural immunity reduced the risk of severe, critical or fatal COVID-19 against all variants [by] 68 percent compared to taking Pfizer’s vaccine, and by 42 percent compared to [taking] Moderna’s vaccine,” Jaxen said.

“Remember, this is what we’re told – that the vaccines are no longer stopping infection [and] transmission, but they’re hanging on to it stopping hospitalizations and mortality. These are big, big numbers they’re finding out in Qatar, and something that really should be looked at.”

Bigtree and Jaxen decry Fauci’s pivot toward medical freedom

The “HighWire” host and his guest also denounced White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci for suddenly pivoting toward medical freedom. Prior to this, the top infectious disease expert had been a staunch advocate of lockdowns and vaccines to address COVID-19. Jaxen played footage of Fauci during his April 10 appearance in the ABC program “This Week,” which the investigative journalist dubbed as the expert “making a bid for medical freedom.”

“There will be a level of infection; this is not [going to] be eradicated [or] eliminated. What’s [going to] happen is that we’re [going to] see each individual [having] to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they [want to] take [when] going to indoor dinners [and] functions. Even within the realm of a green zone [in] a map of the country, you see that everything looks green – but that’s starting to tick up,” said Fauci.

“So you [got to] make a question and answer for yourself; for me [and] you as [individuals]. What is my age? What is my status? Do I have people at home who are vulnerable that if I bring the virus home, they’d be a problem? We’re at that point where … we’re going to have to live with some degree of virus in the community.”

Bigtree reacted: “What’s so amazing about this is that they robbed us of all our medical freedoms. [They] locked us down, masked us, kept us from taking ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine [and] jabbed everybody that they could force into it. And then when it’s all said and done, the vaccine’s a complete and total failure [and] booster No. 5 is [going to] last you about seven and a half hours – now it’s like he’s gifting us back the freedom.

“This is what I want to point out. We’re not back to square one. We’re not back where we would have been, had you let us just act naturally the way that we did. Remember what [Fauci is] saying. We’ve never had to live with a variant not going away until they decided to vaccinate everybody.”

Home defense is a hot topic, especially when it comes to which type of firearm is the best choice. I have always favored a shotgun for home defense, as they have many advantages when you consider protecting your home and family from intruders. While there are multiple types of shotguns, many homeowners wonder which is…

The dogs of war have been released, and many fear that our planet will never be the same again as a result.  From the very outset of this article, I want to make it exceedingly clear that I am pro-peace, because I am extremely concerned about what a global war would mean for America.  If we eventually get to a point where nuclear weapons are used, billions of people could die.  That is a scenario that we should be trying to avoid at all costs.  Even now, countless innocent civilians in Ukraine are being ruthlessly sacrificed as politicians on both sides engage in a reckless game of global domination.

If the politicians that start wars were forced to actually fight in them, there would be a whole lot less military conflict all over the globe.

Having said all that, let me give you an update on some of the latest developments.

Violence has been erupting in Jerusalem for days, and ABC News is admitting that Israel and Hamas could soon “once again go to war”…

Days of violence in Jerusalem and an exchange of fire in Gaza overnight have raised the possibility that Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers will once again go to war, as they did less than a year ago under similar circumstances.

Let us hope that such a conflict can be delayed for as long as possible, because it could easily develop into a major regional war.

In the aftermath of the recent rocket attack that came from Gaza, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned that the Israeli military is ready to do whatever is necessary…

“The IDF is ready with a wide range of means and targets, to ensure that peace and stability will continue,” Gantz warned.

“If the incitement and [rocket] fire continue, the terror organizations will be severely harmed, as will the residents of Gaza, who are currently benefiting from the moves we have taken to develop the economy,” Gantz added.

On the other side, fighters in Gaza have been feverishly constructing new tunnels in anticipation of the coming conflict…

The underground passageways leave no trace on the surface.

But in a wooded area near Khan Yunis, seven masked men in military fatigues carried a collection of machine-guns and grenade launchers into a tunnel entrance discretely tucked into the foot of a small hill.

The fighters wear headbands of the Al-Quds Brigade, the armed branch of Islamic Jihad which is the second-largest armed faction in Gaza, after the Hamas Islamist movement that rules the territory.

A full-blown war would be absolutely horrible for both sides, but it is just a matter of time before such a war erupts.

Of more immediate concern is the conflict in Ukraine.

On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that the second stage of Russia’s “special military operation” has now begun…

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow was starting a new stage of what it calls its special military operation in Ukraine which he predicted would be a significant development.

“Another stage of this operation (in eastern Ukraine) is beginning and I am sure this will be a very important moment of this entire special operation”, Lavrov said in an interview with the India Today TV channel.

Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, the Russians are striking with a ferocity that is shocking much of the globe.  Just check out what Politico journalist Christopher Miller is reporting…

A Ukrainian army lieutenant on the frontline in Donetsk region tells me he and his soldiers are being hit as we speak with Russian howitzers, mortars, and MLRS “at the same time.” They endured a similar bombardment earlier today “plus two Su-25… and our day became hell.”

Can you imagine being right in the middle of that?

I can’t.

In another tweet, Miller reported that one of his contacts in the Ukrainian military is claiming that his troops are literally being fired upon “14 hours a day”…

I just spoke to a Ukrainian commander on the frontline near Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, who said their positions are being hit by Russian airstrikes and heavy artillery 14 hours a day. They are “desperate” for more help, he said, outgunned, and running low on ammunition.

After weeks of fighting, the situation for Ukrainian troops in eastern Ukraine is becoming increasingly desperate.

At this point, getting new ammunition and fuel to those forces has become exceedingly difficult…

Nearly all of the Ukrainian ammunition and fuel supplies have been bombed and destroyed. What is trickling in through its western borders has difficulties to reach the eastern front and is anyway not enough to supply an actively fighting and maneuvering army.

And it turns out that the western powers were not prepared for a conflict of this nature.

In fact, in some cases NATO countries are literally running out of stuff to send to Ukraine…

Germany has declined to transfer tanks to Ukraine on grounds that it simply cannot spare them. Canada quickly ran short on rocket launchers and other equipment that the Ukrainians desperately need. The U.S. has provided one-third of its overall stockpile of Javelin anti-tank missiles. It cannot easily deliver more without leaving its own armories badly depleted — and it may take months or years to significantly ramp up production.

The Ukrainians are being asked to fight a proxy war for us that they can’t possibly win.

Meanwhile, the remaining Azov fighters that are trapped at the Azovstal factory in Mariupol are about to be bombed into oblivion…

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on Tuesday released a purported communications intercept of a Russian ground unit commander, who said Russian aircraft were planning to “level everything to the ground” around Azovstal, the steel factory that is a redoubt of Ukrainian defenders in the besieged port city of Mariupol.

The audio recording released Tuesday purports to feature the voice of the leader of a Russian platoon four kilometers (or about 2.5 miles) from Azovstal.

The man’s voice says, “We are expecting ‘surprises’ from Russia here.”

“What kind of surprises?” a woman’s voice replies.

“Three-ton ones, from the sky,” the man replies, adding that his command “said to level everything to the ground.”

Many Americans aren’t paying too much attention to the conflict in Ukraine because they believe that it will never affect them personally.

But they should be paying attention, because this war has very serious implications for all of us.

The Russians fully recognize that a proxy war between the United States and Russia has begun, and Russian television presenter Olga Skabeyeva recently used the term “World War Three” to describe what the battle for Ukraine has become…

She justified the unanticipated length of the “special operation” by claiming it had expanded into a much greater conflict.

“What [the war in Ukraine has] escalated into can safely be called World War Three,” going on to insist, “that’s entirely for sure.”

She added, “Now we’re definitely fighting against Nato infrastructure, if not Nato itself. We need to recognize that.”

Sadly, she is right on target.

World War Three has arrived, and politicians in the U.S. just keep on talking about escalating things.

In fact, Joe Biden’s closest ally in the U.S. Senate has announced that he actually supports sending U.S. troops into Ukraine.

This isn’t going to end well, but most of you already knew that.

The post “World War Three” Is About To Escalate To A Dangerous New Level appeared first on End Of The American Dream.

Having the proper perspective can completely change how you view the future.  Yes, without a doubt the past few years have been very rough.  The COVID pandemic ushered in an alarming new era in 2020, 2021 was even worse, and now 2022 has added a major global food crisis, a horrifying bird flu pandemic and the biggest land war in Europe since World War II.  Unfortunately, the truth is that things will get even worse in the months and years ahead.  To many people that sounds like really bad news, but it actually isn’t.

We desperately need someone to hit the “reset button”.  Our culture has been swirling down the toilet for decades, but during the last few years that process seems to have greatly accelerated.

If people from 50 or 60 years ago were exposed to our society today, they would be absolutely horrified by what has happened to us.  But many of us think that everything is just fine, because we have gradually become desensitized to the utter depravity that is all around us.

We are like the proverbial frog in the kettle.  If you try to put a frog directly into boiling water, it will jump right out.  But if you put a frog into lukewarm water and slowly turn the heat up, it will not realize what is happening until it is too late.

At this point, our society resembles a giant open sewer, and it is getting worse with each passing day.  But the good news is that everything is going to be cleaned up and set right.  However, before that happens our world is going to get to experience the full consequences of all the evil that it has so eagerly embraced.

So it is okay to have mixed emotions about the signs of the end times that are happening all around us.  On one hand, the years ahead are going to be increasingly challenging as global events continue to spiral out of control.

On the other hand, all of these events are indications that Jesus is coming back soon, and that should absolutely thrill all of us.

As the signs of the last days continue to be fulfilled, we will want to continuously keep a very close eye on Israel.  On Monday, the Jerusalem Post actually published an editorial that openly called for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in the Holy City…

Palestinian terrorists are getting scared as Jews are getting serious about restoring our holy of holies, the site we pray towards every day, and the building we beseech God for repeatedly throughout our liturgy.

On a national level, the rebuilding of the Temple would be a great humiliation to Palestinian terror groups, but on a religious level, the construction of Judaism’s Third Temple would in no way pose a threat to Islam, whose main religious holy sites are in Mecca and Medina.

And I found it quite noteworthy that the rabbi that penned this piece actually suggested that the rebuilding of the Temple could be part of a “future peace plan between Israel and her Arab neighbors”…

Responsible Jewish, Christian and Muslim leaders should use this recent wave of Islamic violence to immediately begin discussing practical and peaceful steps for the rebuilding of the Temple on the Temple Mount. It could be done without damaging or disrespecting the Dome of the Rock or Al Aqsa, as part of a future peace plan between Israel and her Arab neighbors to end the plague of Islamic terror once and for all.

I was floored when I first read that.

According to the Bible, sacrifices will start to happen again on the Temple Mount in the last days, but a temple is not necessarily required.  Some have suggested that instead of a new Temple, a structure such as the Tabernacle of David could potentially be set up.  In any event, those of us that are interested in Bible prophecy are watching these developments very closely.

We have also recently learned that a new silver coin is being minted in order to help fund the rebuilding of the Temple…

The Mikdash (Temple) Educational Center in conjunction with Rabbi Hillel Weiss, the former spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, has minted a silver coin to promote a practical effort to establish the third temple.

The coin contains 32 grams of pure silver and represents three times the amount of the biblical silver half-shekel that was donated by every Jewish male to finance the daily operation of the temple.

Even in the midst of all the violence that is going on in Israel lately, there is so much enthusiasm for this project.

Unfortunately, there was even more violence on Monday, and a rocket was fired from Gaza into Israel…

Gaza militants fired a rocket into Israel Monday, the Israeli army said, the first such incident in months and a sign that a wave of violence around a Jerusalem holy site could escalate further.

In response, the Israeli air force hit a key military target in Gaza…

The Israeli air force attacked southern Gaza Monday in response to a rocket launched from the strip earlier in the day, according to the military spokesperson. The IDF said that air force fighter jets destroyed a weapons manufacturing workshop belonging to Hamas. Hamas said that militants responded with anti-aircraft weapons, but failed to hit the Israeli jets.

There has been a lot of talk about a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan, but in my opinion I think that a major war will erupt in the Middle East before that happens.

Emotions are running very high on all sides, and over the weekend a key voice in the Lebanese parliament openly stated that if Hezbollah is given enough funding “there will be nothing left called Israel in the region”…

Mohammed Raad, the head of the Hezbollah parliamentary bloc in the Lebanese parliament declared on Saturday that it would take a mere $9 billion to obliterate the State of Israel.

“The resistance only needs $9 billion and there will be nothing left called Israel in the region,” said Raad, who previously met with French president Emmanuel Macron, according to a news broadcast by Lebanese outlet MTV.

What a horrible thing to say.

But this is how these terrorists actually feel.  They are absolutely obsessed with wiping Israel off the map, and nothing will deter them from pursuing that goal.

Fortunately, they will not be successful.

I assume that Raad wants all of that money for Hezbollah so that it can be spent on more missiles.  This goes right along with the article that I posted yesterday.

Iran is becoming more belligerent as well.  On Monday, the president of Iran issued a very ominous warning…

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi Monday warned that Israel will be targeted by his country’s armed forces if it makes “the tiniest move” against Iran.

He spoke as talks stalled in Vienna over a deal to rein in Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which Tehran says are used for peaceful purposes. Israel opposes a deal, saying it does not do enough to curb Iran’s nuclear program or its military activities across the region. Israeli officials have said they will unilaterally do what’s necessary to protect their country.

It is just a matter of time before Iran and Israel go to war.

And as I shared in Lost Prophecies, that is one of the signs of the end times that we are waiting for.

Unfortunately, most of the population does not want to hear about signs of the end times yet.  Instead, most of the population just continues to race after evil as rapidly as it can.

But even though there is such a rejection of spiritual things, a lot of people out there still realize that they ultimately have a day of reckoning coming.  Just check out the results of a recent survey from the UK…

The new survey of over 1,000 people in the United Kingdom, commissioned by SpiritShack Ltd, finds 50 percent of respondents believe in an afterlife. Of this group, 60 percent believe everyone experiences the same thing when they die — regardless of their individual beliefs. However, two in three believe scientists will never be able to tell us what really happens when someone passes.

Regardless of whether people think they’re going to heaven (55%) or worry their life choices could end up sending them to hell (58%), the poll finds 68 percent of all respondents have no fear of what comes next. However, 69 percent would rather live another life after leaving this one instead of simply seeing their existence end.

There are so many that are deeply lost and deeply confused, and we need to point as many in the right direction as we possibly can.

Heaven is a very real place, and a woman named Charlotte Holmes recently had an opportunity to personally experience this for herself…

Then Charlotte’s heart stopped. For the next 11 minutes, she was clinically dead. “I was above my body. I could see Danny standing in the corner,” she says. “He had backed up. I could see them, all the nurses around. And then I opened my eyes. I looked around at the beauty. I could see the trees, I could see the grass. And everything was swaying with the music. Because everything in Heaven worships God. I can’t convey to you what Heaven looked like, cause it’s so above what we could even imagine, a million times.”

What an incredible testimony!

According to her account, she even got to see a child that she lost before it was born…

“Standing behind my mom and dad was a light so bright. I couldn’t look upon it. So bright. But I knew it was my Heavenly Father. I saw a toddler. And I can remember thinking, ‘Who is this?’ And I heard my father say to me, my Heavenly Father say to me, ‘It’s your child.’ I lost that child. I was 5-1/2 months pregnant. I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, ‘Charlotte, it’s a boy.’ Then he was gone. So when I saw this toddler, I said, ‘God, how is that possible?’ He says, ‘They continue to grow in Heaven. But there’s no time. It’s eternity.’ So 48 years, and here my child, our child, is a toddler.”

Of course there are countless others that have had similar experiences over the decades.

But even though credible eyewitness after credible eyewitness has come back and shared what the other side is like, most people in our society still will not listen.

What will it take to finally get them to wake up?

Monkeys are one of the most intelligent yet violent animals globally. When provoked, they can get aggressive and even attack you! If this happens, do you know how you can protect yourself? Read on to learn how to survive a monkey attack.

RELATED: 11 Tips to Avoid Animal Attacks

How to Survive a Monkey Attack

1. Do Not Run

If you encounter an aggressive monkey that comes at you or even jumps on you, conquer your fear. Avoid panicking, shouting, fighting, pushing, making eye contact, or turning your back. The monkey is asserting itself and not looking for a fight.

Avoid making them uneasy with you to avoid intensifying their aggressive instincts.

Most of all, do not run! Remember–monkeys can chase you, as they can run up to 30 miles per hour!

Stay calm, back off, walk away, and avoid making any sound.

Pretend like you are doing your own thing. Act like you are looking at trees or talking to other people. Doing this will make the monkey lose interest in you and leave you.

2. Keep Moving

You might think that feeding monkeys are fun, but this activity poses a danger.

Bringing food around monkeys is not a good idea. It is one of the most common reasons why they would attack you. Even if the food is in a container, monkeys can still detect it since they have a strong sense of smell.

Furthermore, if you give some food to one monkey, others would also come near you. And if you do not give them your attention, they will likely be aggressive and attack you.

Feeding monkeys can lead them out of their habitat.

3. Do Not Feed Them

You might think that feeding monkeys are such a fun thing to do, but this activity poses a danger.

It is not a good idea to bring food around monkeys, as it is one of the most common reasons why they would attack you. Even if the food is in a container, monkeys can still detect it since they have a strong sense of smell.

Furthermore, if you give some food to one monkey, others would also come near you. And if you do not give them your attention, they will likely be aggressive and attack you.

What’s more, feeding monkeys can lead them out of their habitat.

4. Jump in the water

Did you know that most monkeys do not swim? Some species even drown when getting into deep water! So if a monkey runs amok and you see a body of water near you, jump into it!

Yet, do not get too comfortable, especially in a tropical rainforest. Because yes, you might survive a monkey attack, but a crocodile might come your way. And crocodiles, like monkeys, can also be dangerous and attack you.

5. Show the Monkey Your Empty Palms

Many monkeys attack because they think that you are holding food and that you do not want to give it to them.

If you are not holding anything, show them your empty hands. But, if you have some food, throw it in their direction, but not at them.

6. Do Not Play Tug of War with Them

If a monkey wants to get something from you, give it to them. Do not play tug of war with monkeys, especially if they are already grabbing onto your valuables.

Keep in mind that monkeys are mischievous and curious creatures. But do not worry! They also have a short attention span at the same time. They will drop your things, and you can recover them

7. Be Mindful of Your Body Language

Monkeys interpret a big grin as a sign of hostility and threat. So while they may be cute, avoid smiling and showing your teeth to them. But sticking your teeth together and closing your lips interpret softness.

Keep your movements minimal. Showing aggression to them will only get you attacked.

8. Wash Your Wounds Immediately

If you suffer some bites after a monkey attack, rub them with soap and clean water, then go to the doctor.

Monkey bites are dangerous since monkeys generally carry diseases, such as rabies. So no matter how small the monkey bite is, it can still be life-threatening

Also, even healthy monkeys have bacteria in their mouths, so you can still get infected when you get a taste.

Other Tips on Dealing with Monkeys

9. Dress Appropriately

Before you go to an area full of monkeys, ensure that you wear plain and simple clothes. Furthermore, avoid wearing pieces of jewelry and bringing bags. And if you have blurry vision, wear contact lenses instead of eyeglasses.

Anything with straps is tempting for monkeys, so they might attack you once they see these things.

10. Be Careful When Taking Photographs

So you have a scenic destination, good light, and adorable monkeys. What is missing in the equation? A camera to capture the perfect moment.

But, be cautious when taking pictures, especially selfies. Monkeys may attack you if they see themselves on camera because they think they are in danger.

Most Americans don’t realize this, but we truly have entered historic territory.  As you will see below, the inflation crisis of 2022 has now escalated to a level that is beyond anything that we experienced during the horrible Jimmy Carter era of the 1970s.  If you are old enough to have been alive back then, you probably remember the constant headlines about inflation.  And you also probably remember that it seemed like the impotent administration in power in Washington was powerless to do anything about it.  In other words, it was a lot like what we are going through today.  Unfortunately for us, this new economic crisis is still only in the very early chapters.

Of course the mainstream media would like us to believe that what we are experiencing today is not even close to what Americans went through in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  According to CNN, the U.S. inflation rate hit a peak of 14.6 percent in the first half of 1980…

The inflation rate hit a record high of 14.6% in March and April of 1980. It helped to lead to Carter’s defeat in that fall’s election. It also led to some significant changes in the US economy.

Compared to that, the numbers we have been given in early 2022 seem rather tame.  On Tuesday, we learned that the official rate of inflation in the U.S. hit 8.5 percent in the month of March…

Prices that consumers pay for everyday items surged in March to their highest levels since the early days of the Reagan administration, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday.

The consumer price index, which measures a wide-ranging basket of goods and services, jumped 8.5% from a year ago on an unadjusted basis, above even the already elevated Dow Jones estimate for 8.4%.

8.5 percent is much lower than 14.6 percent, and so to most people it would seem logical to conclude that we are still a long way from the kind of nightmarish crisis that our nation endured during the waning days of the Carter administration.

But is that the truth?

In reality, we can’t make a straight comparison between the official rate of inflation in 2022 and the official rate of inflation in 1980.  The way that the inflation rate is calculated has been changed more than 20 times since 1980, and every time it was changed the goal was to make the official rate of inflation appear to be lower.

What we really need is an apples to apples comparison, and fortunately John Williams over at shadowstats.com has done the math for us.

According to Williams, if the inflation rate was still calculated the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation would be somewhere around 17 percent right now.

17 percent!

That means that the inflation that we are seeing now is even worse than anything that Americans went through during the Jimmy Carter era.

And government figures for individual categories seem to confirm that inflation is now wildly out of control.  For example, the price of gasoline has risen by 48 percent over the past year…

The price of gasoline rose by 48.0 percent from March 2021 to March 2022, according to numbers released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In just one month—from February to March—the seasonally adjusted price of gasoline went up 18.3 percent.

Vehicle prices have escalated to absurd levels as well.  If you can believe it, the average retail selling price of a used vehicle at CarMax has risen by 39.7 percent in just 12 months…

CarMax experienced a slowdown in fourth-quarter used car sales volume as its average retail selling price jumped 39.7% year-over-year to $29,312, an increase of approximately $8,300 per unit.

And I discussed yesterday, home prices in the United States have jumped 32.6 percent over the past two years.

We have entered a full-blown inflationary nightmare, and the Biden administration is trying to blame Vladimir Putin for it.

Needless to say, that is extremely disingenuous of Biden, because prices were already skyrocketing even before the war in Ukraine started.

But it is true that the war is making economic problems even worse all over the globe, and that isn’t going to end any time soon.

A couple of weeks ago there was a bit of optimism that some sort of a ceasefire agreement could be reached, but now there appears to be no hope that there will be one any time soon.

On Tuesday, Putin told the press that peace talks have reached “a dead end”…

Talks with Ukraine have reached “a dead end,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in fresh Tuesday remarks. “We will not stop military operations in Ukraine until they succeed.” He explained that Ukraine has “deviated” from agreements and any possible prior progress reached during the Istanbul meetings, according to state-run RIA.

The strong remarks aimed at both Kiev and the West were given during a joint presser with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko. He further hailed that the military operations is still going “according to plan,” Bloomberg reports, however while admitting to the domestic population that “Russian logistics and payment systems remain a weakness and the long-term impact of western measures could be more painful.” But he also said the county has withstood the economic “blitzkrieg” from the West.

And Volodymyr Zelensky is now saying that the return of Crimea is a “red line” for him…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky named recognition of the annexation of the Crimea region as one of his red lines for Moscow in any potential peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end war between the two countries.

Russia annexed the southern region of Crimea in 2014. Russian-backed separatists and forces, as well Ukrainian soldiers, have since been fighting in the eastern region of Ukraine.

Russia will never, ever willingly give Crimea back to Ukraine.

Anyone that thinks otherwise is simply being delusional.

So unless someone changes their tune, this war between Russia and Ukraine is going to keep going until someone achieves total victory.

And that could take a really long time.

Meanwhile, global food supplies will get tighter and tighter, and global economic conditions will continue to rapidly deteriorate.

In other words, the kind of nightmare scenario that I have been warning about for years is now upon us.

And so what happens if another “black swan event” or two hits us later in 2022?

We are so vulnerable right now, and it wouldn’t take much at all to push us over the edge and into an unprecedented worldwide crisis of epic proportions.
