Is something very unusual happening to our world? Hundreds of giant sinkholes have been suddenly appearing all over the globe, and this is deeply alarming a lot of people. For months, I have been coming across news stories about giant sinkholes during my daily research sessions, and at first I ignored them. But lately there have been so many stories about giant sinkholes that I decided to start looking into this phenomenon. Of course there have always been sinkholes, and so it isn’t a shock when one suddenly appears somewhere. In many cases, they are caused by heavy rain, broken water pipes or earthquakes. But what is different about 2021 is the fact that hundreds and hundreds of absolutely enormous sinkholes have been suddenly appearing all over the globe. Is this just a “bad year”, or is this an indication that something truly strange is happening to the crust of our planet?
Let me start by talking about a giant sinkhole that just keeps growing in Mexico. It is now 124 meters wide, and it has already swallowed a house and two dogs…
Back in May, a farm in Mexico started developing a sinkhole that has since caused the evacuation of a family living in a nearby house, the collapse of that same house and a rescue operation for two dogs that, like the house, were swallowed up in the sinkhole.
As of this past weekend, the sinkhole — on farmland in Santa Maria Zacatepec, located in Central Mexico in the state of Puebla — had grown to 124 meters wide, according to Ary News.
By itself, that sinkhole in Mexico would not be that big of a deal.
But this sort of a thing is happening all over the globe. For example, a 17-year-old kid recently discovered a sinkhole that is 200 feet deep in his grandfather’s field that literally developed in just one night…
The night before, he’d been walking in the area, and he said there was no indication of the geologic disturbance. But the next morning, he says he nearly fell into the hole. Had he done so, tragedy would have resulted as the sinkhole is 9 feet across and roughly 200 feet deep.
It’s not an isolated occurrence in the Konya province. Several sinkholes have appeared there in recent years. Most notably, a monstrous 57,414 square-foot (10 miles!) chasm that revealed ancient human cave dwellings.
Of course most Americans couldn’t care less about what happens on the other side of the world, and so let me give you some examples from right here in the United States.
On Sunday, two vehicles fell into a large sinkhole that suddenly appeared in a key section of Manhattan…
Two vehicles got stuck in a sinkhole after the part of the street they were parked on collapsed underneath them in Manhattan Sunday.
It was discovered around 10:30 a.m. on Riverside Drive near its intersection with 97th Street on the Upper West Side.
Elsewhere in New York, a sinkhole that is 8 feet deep recently appeared right in the middle of a family’s lawn in Nassau County…
A family in Nassau County says they’re getting the runaround from the city and their insurance company after an 8-foot deep sinkhole appeared in their driveway following a period of heavy rain.
When David Moultrie came home from work on Saturday, he says he couldn’t believe what he saw in his Elmont driveway: a gaping hole right in his front lawn.
Down in Florida, hundreds and hundreds of sinkholes have been developing in recent months.
In fact, so many sinkholes have been developing in Florida that the state government maintains a regularly updated map that shows where all of them are. You can view an example of this map right here.
That map definitely does not look “normal” to me.
But in today’s world, is anything “normal” anymore?
Across the Atlantic, scientists have been quite puzzled by what has been going on in Croatia. Toward the end of 2020, a very large sinkhole suddenly swallowed a garden in a little town known as Meenani…
Just before the new year in 2021, the earth in a quiet area of Croatia began to act oddly. A near-perfectly round hole sprang out of nowhere in a garden in Meenani, a hamlet 40 kilometers (24 miles) from Croatia’s capital city of Zagreb, measuring 30 meters (98 feet) broad and 15 meters (49 feet) deep.
Since that time, dozens of other very large sinkholes have started to appear in the region.
In fact, at this point there are “as many as 100 sinkholes in and around the two communities”…
More and more of these huge holes appeared in Meenani and its adjacent village Borojevii during the next few weeks. According to the Croatian Geological Institute, at least 54 totally collapsed sinkholes of various sizes had been documented by the end of January.
According to an AFP report from March, there may have been as many as 100 sinkholes in and around the two communities. Some of the holes appeared in remote areas, while many others appeared within yards from people’s homes. A few were discovered snuggled beneath homes, causing bricks to collapse and structure fractures to emerge.
But I am sure that this is nothing to be concerned about, right?
I’ll be perfectly honest with you. I have no idea why all of these sinkholes are appearing, but I would like to find out.
Because there doesn’t seem to be anywhere on the globe that is completely immune from this phenomenon, and that includes the Holy City. As I was doing research earlier today, I came across a story about a massive sinkhole that just opened up right in the heart of Jerusalem itself…
Security footage shows three cars falling straight into the sinkhole. It is still unknown if there were people inside, though police later added that the likelihood of people getting stuck is low.
Due to concerns over another collapse, the area has been declared a danger zone, and the building has been cordoned off. Additionally, traffic has been cleared out and blocked in the area around the hospital.
In recent months, I have written a lot about the bizarre changes that appear to be happening to our planet, but until now I have been ignoring all of the giant sinkholes that have been popping up.
From now on, this is a story that I want to focus on a lot more, because I think that these sinkholes tie into the larger picture somehow.
I don’t have all of the answers at the moment, but I am going to keep digging.

The secret project that I have been working on for so many months is finally done. You may have noticed that I have not been posting quite as many articles as usual in recent weeks, and that is because I was finishing work on my new book. It is entitled “7 Year Apocalypse”, and just like some of my other books it is likely to generate a tremendous amount of controversy in the Christian community. A lot of people are going to be greatly shaken by what they read in this book, and many will never look at the Book of Revelation the same way again after they are through with it.
The Bible has a great deal to say about the seven year period immediately preceding the return of Jesus Christ to this planet. In our time, this seven year period is commonly known by titles such as “the Tribulation”, “the Great Tribulation”, “Daniel 70th week” and “the time of Jacob’s trouble”. These seven years will be the most chaotic seven years in all of human history. Jesus specifically warned us that there has never been a time like this before, and there will never be a time like it ever again.
And this is the generation that will experience it.
We are the Book of Revelation generation.
For years, people have asked me if I thought that the beginning of the Tribulation was close. If you talk to anyone that has ever asked me that question, they will all tell you the same thing about what I said in response. I always said that we weren’t at that point yet and that there were certain things that had to happen first.
Sometimes people would get upset with me when I answered that way, because it upset their pet theories about the end times. But it was the truth. There were many prophetic pieces that hadn’t moved into place yet, but in recent years we have seen those pieces shift into position one by one.
So now, for the very first time, my answer has to change.
The 7 Year Apocalypse is rapidly approaching, and it is going to be far more horrible than most people would dare to imagine.
Most people that are alive today will enter the 7 Year Apocalypse, and the vast majority of them will be dead by the time that it is over.
I am not saying this for shock value. According to the Bible, this is the reality of what we are facing.
Words such as “cataclysmic” and “apocalyptic” don’t really fully capture what the world is going to experience during this period of time. We are going to see death and destruction on a scale that will be unimaginable to most people.
But it will also be a time when God is doing absolutely amazing things. God has a job for you to do, and He would not have put you at this time in history if He didn’t think that you could handle what is ahead.
You were strategically placed here for a reason, and the greatest chapters of your life can still be ahead of you. But you have got to be willing to surrender your plans and embrace God’s plans instead.
The first half of the 7 Year Apocalypse is going to clearly demonstrate the futility of humanity’s attempts to run things without God in the picture. In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us of some very specific things to watch for…
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Please notice that there won’t be just one “war”. There will be multiple wars, and this includes the conflicts that I covered in Lost Prophecies Of The Future Of America.
Jesus also told us that there will be multiple “famines”, multiple “pestilences” and multiple “earthquakes”.
A lot of people were shocked when I warned that COVID will not be the last major pandemic that we will experience. The thought of going through yet another pandemic is just too much for many people. Of course it isn’t just one more pandemic that we will be facing. According to Jesus, numerous “pestilences” are coming.
And “pestilences” are just one part of the overall cataclysmic scenario that will be unfolding all around us during these end times.
In this book, I show how many of the specific prophetic events that I have discussed in previous books and articles fit into the prophetic timeline described in the Book of Revelation.
One thing that even most Christians don’t realize is that the second half of the 7 Year Apocalypse is going to look vastly different from the first half.
During the second half, the Antichrist is going to get his shot to run the show, and it is going to be wilder than anything that any science fiction writer in Hollywood has ever dreamed up.
In the past, many books and movies have attempted to portray the Antichrist as some sort of bumbling politician that isn’t really very competent at much of anything.
Unfortunately, that isn’t even close to the truth.
In fact, much of what has been traditionally taught about the 7 Year Apocalypse is simply not accurate because it does not line up with what the Bible actually says. After you have completed this book, you will understand exactly what I am talking about.
And of course the vast majority of the churches in the western world tend to avoid Bible prophecy altogether, and so most believers have had very little warning about what will soon happen to this planet.
As global events accelerate, Bible prophecy is all of a sudden going to become a very hot topic, and millions upon millions of people will be turning to the Bible for answers.
When that happens, we want to be able to provide those answers.
This book lays a foundation for what is to come in future books. I plan to write books much more frequently from now on, because the events in the Book of Revelation will soon become a reality, but there are so few people out there that are accurately warning people about what lies ahead.
Even though the Bible has been warning us for nearly 2,000 years, most people are going to be absolutely blindsided by what is in front of us.
If you have enjoyed my previous books, you will love “7 Year Apocalypse”, and my hope is that it will encourage you to dig deep into what the Scriptures have to say about the end times.
But don’t keep this message to yourself. Please give this book to your family, your friends, and anyone else who will listen.
I am trying to sound the alarm as loudly as I can, and I need your help.
We are quickly approaching the time in history when our world will go through a horrific series of cataclysms over a 7 year period, and billions of people will die as a result.
When we have reached our darkest moment and it seems like all hope is lost for humanity, Jesus Christ will make His triumphant return to this planet and will set everything right.
This is the most dramatic time in all of human history, and you get to be here for it.
Please get the book so that you can understand what is ahead.
What’s past is prologue, and everything is about to change.
A wonderful new chapter is about to start for all of us, and I urge you to embrace the great adventure that has been set before you.
Even in the midst of all the chaos and darkness that is coming, God is going to raise up His Remnant, and we are going to turn this world upside down for Jesus Christ.

Today we’re going over the best emergency water well hand pump kits and why you need one.
Here are the exact hand well pump topics I’ll be covering today:
**Note: If you just want to know our top brands, feel free to SKIP AHEAD HERE.
A hand well pump is a device for manually pumping water from a well.
A lever is attached to a connecting rod that pivots and plunges water when operated.
When you raise the lever, a piston gets lowered, creating suction. And when the lever is lowered a washer cuts off the flow of water so it builds up in the pump.
As you continue to pump the water level increases until it flows out of the outlet valve.
Now, where do you need an emergency well pump?
We’ve all experienced times when the power goes out and you’re left in the dark. It sucks but is usually only short-term.
But what if it wasn’t? What are you going to do if there’s a large-scale catastrophe or major disruption to the energy grid? A Nuclear Attack or an EMP?
Well, that’s why you need a surefire way to get water for your long-term survival.
Now, you’re here at Skilled Survival because you want to learn how to thrive in an emergency situation. You want to become resilient to a worst-case scenario.
And that means figuring out your survival plans, including:
Water is the elixir of life and without it, you’re done.
Whether at home or your cabin in the woods, you need to have a constant supply of drinking water. And if you aren’t on a municipal water system, you get your water from a well.
Water wells are a great, independent source of H2O but most of the time, we still rely on power to operate a pump.
But what if the grid goes down and there’s no electricity? Or the sun is behind clouds and your solar water pump is down as well? You need a backup plan to get your water to the surface.
Beyond the obvious reasons, there are also many other benefits to investing in a hand well pump.
A well hand pump doesn’t use electricity. Instead, it gets its power from YOU.
You don’t pay for power when you use it, you just use your muscles.
They also have very few moving parts to break so maintenance is minimal.
An emergency well pump works in many applications including gardening, construction, and homesteading.
You can operate them at different heights from deep wells to shallow wells. Heck, they even work in water drums.
And the only limits to pumping capacity are your own brute strength and persistence.
This gives you great efficiency for all your needs in a survival situation.
They operate quietly and are safe for all family members to use.
With demand comes innovation.
A well hand pump kit is very easy to install and gets you up and running fast.
First, you need to determine the total depth of your existing well. That way, you can connect the necessary amount of pipe to extend your well hand pump below the waterline.
Most models are compact and will connect fast so you are good to go.
Gone are the days of digging a well and using a bucket and rope to scoop up the water.
Depending on the depth of your well, there are several types of water well hand pumps to choose from.
These are for rural farms or homesteads where you need to access water from a well where no power is available.
They are low-cost pumps for shallow wells with a lift capacity of around 20 feet.
You need to pump steadily to get the water flow going.
This type of emergency non-electric well pump works for slightly deeper water levels.
These wells are over 25 feet deep and use a piston to displace the water upward.
You draw water up and trap it above a valve check valve. So wh pumping the handle down forces the water out of the spout.
Deep well hand water pumps are necessary when lifting water beyond 35 feet.
They use a mechanical system like a flywheel and are more heavy-duty and stronger.
There’s virtually no limit to the depth they can operate. The only limit is the elbow grease of the person operating it.
Lift pumps give access to water over 100 feet deep. These depths are often necessary in poor or developing areas of the world.
It includes cylinders to scoop the water and bring it upward with chain looping when you operate it.
It is an old hand-pumping technology but works great without much effort.
Before shopping for a hand-powered water well pump you must figure out the proper size.
That means you have to determine your water static level first.
This is the distance from the top of the well at ground level down to the top of the water level in the well.
You have crushed rock of all sizes from gravel to sand.
Where the water level starts you’ll find saturated crushed rock. And this is where your well is dug past to access the water.
Often your electric pump will sit at the bottom. So you only need to reach around 10 feet below the water level to successfully operate your well hand pump.
Perform a depth test with a weighted line.
Use a non-lead weight and a bobber so it will reach the water. Once the bobber floats on the water take up the slack and mark the line.
Then you can pull it back up and measure the distance to get your depth.
The depth of the water level will determine the right type of emergency manual well water pump.
You could scour the internet, trying to find and compare the best water well hand pump for your set up.
But here at Skilled Survival, we’ve done all that heavy lifting for you.
Here are our recommendations for the best well hand pumps on the market today.
If you want a simple off-grid deep well hand pump you can’t go wrong with this one from Legacy.
You can only store so much water ahead of a future emergency. So it’s essential you have a lightweight manual pump you can pull out in an emergency.
Take it out of the box and you’re ready to go.
There’s no assembly with Legacy’s emergency hand well pump. Because once you open it up it goes right into your well.
Adjust the pipe length and you are good to go.
It’s also easy to pump so your kids can get in on the action.
With a simple setup and great portability, this pump is exactly what you need in an emergency.
PROS
CONS
If you have a deep well you want to access manually, Simple Pump is here for you.
They reach almost all deep wells up to 325 feet and can fit right next to your submersible pump.
It’s made to fit many handle sizes.
Also, you can convert it from a hand pump to a motorized pump with a solar-powered Simple Pump motor.
There are only a few parts so maintenance is simple and it works well in freezing conditions.
They use aerospace-grade stainless steel. Steel that’s computer machined for exacting precision. So it’s well made and long-lasting.
You can even pump directly into your pressure tank to get water inside your house.
You have 24/7 access to your well water regardless of whether the power grid is operating.
Simple Pump is a high-quality off-grid deep well hand pump that won’t let you down.
PROS
CONS
Bison is another manufacturer of great well hand pumps and they are best sellers in the category.
A Bison Pump is made from 304 stainless steel on the body, handle, lift rod, and accompanying hardware.
All component welds are professional and have a durable hand-polished finish.
With stainless, there is no chance of rust. So your drinking water is safe and secure, without contamination.
You don’t have to prime the pump and there is little maintenance.
It’s also an all-weather pump. One you can use all year round without worrying about freezing. And there’s a tamper-proof security option you can add on as well.
Once you take 4-5 strokes you will get a water flow of about 20 ounces per stroke.
Bison offers a lifetime warranty on this deep-well hand pump. And they stand behind their products because they’re THAT good.
PROS
CONS
It comes in a 50, 100, and 150-foot option, depending on your well depth. And it’s a narrow design that fits into an existing well beside an electric pump.
Determine the depth of the static water level so you can adjust your length of PVC pipe.
Make sure to connect the pipes with primer and PVC cement for a tight, sealed bond.
Feeding it down the well may take a few people. Because you must position the rigid pipe slowly down beyond the water level.
Most of the upper, above-ground components are made of sanitary-grade stainless steel. Thus, are very rugged to last a lifetime.
The pumping action pushes water up the rod and out the handle. This design gives a smooth flow of pressurized water that can feed into your house’s plumbing system.
Thus allowing you to flush toilets, shower, and run water in the sink.
PROS
CONS
For wells that have static water from 40-200 feet, the Apocalypse AR and SJ models can do the pumping for you.
They’re designed with a pump and cable. This delivers water from your well with the upstroke pulling the cable. And moving water up while weights and gravity produce the downstroke.
The AR model pumps up to 3.5 GPM while the SJ model pumps 1.5 GPM. The difference in models is the size of the piston and the length of the stainless steel cable.
This cable design is more cost-effective than pump rods. So they can lift water effectively from deeper wells.
They also use Teflon seals and unlike rubber seals that may last up to 10 years, Teflon is indefinite. They claim they may even outlast the well.
All components are rustproof with PVC, Teflon, and stainless steel. And the installation is quick, clocking in at around 2 hours.
PROS
CONS
Installation of your new well-hand pump can range from fairly easy to complex.
Of course, follow ALL the instructions that come with any new well hand pump kit.
Depending on the style you will either have a flexible plastic hose or a semi-rigid PVC pipe. You’ll feed either of these down your existing well or a new well.
Feed it in slowly so you don’t damage any electrical wiring from the existing pump or the pump itself.
Usually, existing wells will have an electric pump sitting on the bottom of the dug well. And your hand pump will be submerged around 10 feet past the static waterline.
With the piping in place, you can secure the pump mechanism at the top and attach all components.
If you don’t want to spend money on a well hand pump kit you can always make your own.
You are going to need some basic tools and equipment but if you are handy it will work.
You can put together your own hand well pump with PVC pipe from your local building store.
Make sure to buy the right length for your deep well depth. Start by constructing the foot valve assembly.
This will let water into the pipe cylinder without letting it back out.
Next, you build the plunger mechanics so it seals the cylinder and creates suction.
It also has a second valve to force water into the upper pipe.
First, determine the length of pipe required to go beyond the water static level. Then you can assemble and put the piping down the well.
Build the pump head assembly and attach it to the piping so water flows out of a spout with a lever arm and handle.
It is a fairly straightforward installation. But you can get help online to properly construct each component.
Here’s a video on one way you can build a DIY deep well hand pump:
Having access to water without worrying about the electrical grid is vital.
Get your water well hand pump kit today and use your muscles to provide the power.
You’ll never be thirsty again.

*EDITOR’S NOTE: This is all a part of the agenda. Don’t play into it. Don’t harm others. Don’t steal from others. Rise above all of their games and refuse to play. Only then will the game end. Note that they will not allow anarchy. The term anarchy means “without rulers.” The term government means “control the mind.” Just to be clear, these people rioting want a ruler they just want their ruler to enslave everyone. There is an all-out attempt to confuse and make the public believe they must be slaves.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Friday the riotous looting that transformed parts of the country into a warzone was planned, and his “government would not allow anarchy, mayhem” to continue as 25,000 troops have begun to deploy.
“It is quite clear that all these incidents of unrest and looting were instigated, there were people who planned it and coordinated it,” Ramaphosa said.
“We are going after them, we have identified a good number of them and, we will not allow anarchy and mayhem to just unfold in our country,” he told reporters while touring the KwaZulu-Natal province, more specifically, the port city Durban, one of the worst-hit areas by unrest.

So far, the president’s plan is working. Calm is returning to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces.
According to the “Unrest Map” via PolicyLab, unrest across Johannesburg and Durban has dramatically subsided in the last day, either because the military is being deployed or the rioters have run out of stores and warehouses to loot as thousands of businesses were destroyed in the weeklong mayhem.
Ramaphosa also said he was concerned about rising racial tensions in some parts of the country. Between Monday and Wednesday, tensions among racial groups (Whites vs. Blacks; Indians vs. Blacks) flared up to near civil war levels during the height of the chaos.
Besides South African troops, at least 12,000 members of the reserve forces have been called up. The military shows strength as convoys of armored personnel carriers were spotted, moving towards Durban last night.
Top government officials are saying the deployment of the military has been the largest contributing factor in declining social unrest.
Crowds continue to clash with police and military in cities across South Africa and at least 117 people have been killed in the ongoing unrest as of Thursday, July 15, according to a briefing by Acting Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

Boots are on the ground.
With some law order restored, the rand strengthened on Friday, recovering some losses against the dollar sparked by the riots. The death toll is around 117, with thousands arrested.
If the president is right and the unrest was planned, the intentions of whoever organized the mass chaos had one objective: dismantle the country’s critical supply chains to create an economic collapse.

Living in the city is a major pain for plant enthusiasts. Sure, your apartment can handle a few plants here and there. But when it comes to real gardening, that’s a different story. Or is it?
The problem, sometimes is, we tend to overlook simple solutions that would work. Urban gardening is very much possible. A lot of people have tried it using ingenious hacks that are surprisingly commonsensical. And yes, the possibilities are plenty. You just need to use your imagination and of course, come up with a killer plan.
You need to have a good plan to grow plants. Coming up with a plan for everything that you do is always better than having none. It is plain common sense. And if you wish to explore the possibilities of small space gardening, you need to think ahead. Plan everything.
This means you have to assess the available space that you have. Aside from this, you also need to consider the types of vegetation you fancy to grow in your place. Will these specific plants require bigger space when they mature? What type of growing space does this plant require? You know, these kinds of questions.
Planning also gives you hindsight on what materials could be maximized for urban gardening. Ingenuity is the key. The essence of guerilla agriculture is to create artificial growing areas where space is scarce or not available. Below are simple yet valuable hacks that will make your mini-gardening project successful.
Do you ever have those rubber rain boots lying somewhere in the house? Do not throw them yet. You can use them as improvised pots for your plants. The cool thing about these types of boots is they are small. This means they won’t take up much space in your apartment.

Canning jar gardens are better suited for outdoor spaces such as garage walls, fences, balconies, and patios. Apart from these outdoor spaces, a canning jar garden can also fir indoor areas like kitchens and living rooms. Microgreens and herbs are plants that can be grown in this type of urban garden.

The General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), Agustin Carstens, sent a chilling message regarding the future direction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). He admits that the banks are planning for “absolute control” over your money using central bank digital currencies.
Pay attention and remain alert and prepared. It is imperative that we, as human beings, do not allow this kind of slavery to take hold. It is time to start waking people up. They are no longer hiding it. We are staring down the barrel of a dystopian future, one in which there is no escape if they can get the correct protocols in place.
“We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000 peso bill today. The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability, and also we will have the technology to enforce that,” said Carstens. If this doesn’t wake people up, nothing will. This is the goal: permanent slavery. We all know we are slaves now, but if we can’t figure out a way to disallow anyone (banks, military, police, politicians of and flavor, presidents, or elitists) power over us, we are going to be in a lot of trouble. We need to stop imagining these people have a right to own us and rule us and enslave us.
Greg Mannarino has been trying to prepare people for this for a while now. The inflation and inability of people to be able to buy basic goods and services like food will be an excuse used to usher in the central bank digital dollar. The last lock on our permanent cage. This is it, humanity. If they (the central banks) have absolute control over the money supply, they will have absolute control over the world.
This is not by accident. They are taking ownership of everything, including human beings.
Mannarino points out that as the Federal Reserve calls for more spending, they call for more inflation. Their goal, as Mannarino often says, is to be the lender and buyer of last resort. They want to own it all. Remember Klaus Schwab’s infamous statement: “You will own nothing, and you will be happy?” That’s because the masters intend to own it all, including us.

These sociopaths view us as their property and until we realize that no one is going to save us, we need to save ourselves, we are going to be stuck in this dystopian reality they are constructing around us right now. It’s time to realize you are a free human being. You do not have the right to enslave others through your vote or through force. You also have the right to be free from enslavement by vote or force. We had better start to understand the end game and that if there is a politician in power, they are in on it. No governor or member of law enFORCEment will save you. They only keep those already in power on their thrones. Wake up. Stop living the lie that you have to be a slave to anyone.
Stay aware of what’s going on. It is imperative we know what they have planned for us so we can at least make an attempt to stop it. One of the best eye-opening books available is The Most Dangerous Superstition, by Larken Rose.
The primary threat to freedom and justice is not greed, or hatred, or any of the other emotions or human flaws usually blamed for such things. Instead, it is one ubiquitous superstition which infects the minds of people of all races, religions and nationalities, which deceives decent, well-intentioned people into supporting and advocating violence and oppression. Even without making human beings one bit more wise or virtuous, removing that one superstition would remove the vast majority of injustice and suffering from the world. –The Most Dangerous Superstition book description

The United Kingdom is proposing that those suffering from “long-COVID,” or “lingering problems” after contracting the virus they insist is a pandemic, can be “cured” by getting monthly “vaccines.” And we all thought they would stop at 3, or maybe do an annual booster. But for some, they could get 12 shots per year.
According to a report by the Daily Mail UK, more than a million Britons are said to be living with lingering problems, from breathlessness to brain fog, and that figure could double by the end of the summer, say experts. So the solution is monthly shots of the experimental gene therapy. British scientists are set to explore giving long Covid patients monthly doses of the Covid vaccine, in an effort to combat the chronic condition.
The first stage of the study was given the green light on Friday: later this year, 40 long Covid sufferers will be offered at least two extra jabs.
Funding has been offered by several of the major vaccine developers, and if the pilot is successful the scientists involved have been told they can recruit thousands more patients. –Daily Mail UK
Does this make sense to anyone who knows how to read? They have been telling us for months that the vaccines does work. If it is a vaccine (which it’s not) it provides immunity to disease. So why would those who reportedly already had COVID need monthly doses of a “vaccine?” That would mean it’s not a vaccine. It’s a drug or therapy, as we’ve been saying from the beginning. The “facts” the rulers want us to believe get more and more ridiculous as this COVID scam continues.
Speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday, Dr. David Strain, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter Medical School, who will lead the trial, says the manufacturers are interested in funding the study after early research showed that long Covid symptoms were significantly reduced after patients had a jab.
Dr. Strain said: ‘Many saw a dramatic improvement within days of their jab. Their fatigue disappeared, they were able to walk further without feeling breathless.
“Some said it was the closest to normal they’d felt since they first caught Covid.” –Daily Mail UK
Of course, the manufacturers of the gene therapy shot will fund the study. Imagine their income if they can convince the already “vaccinated” and brainwashed slaves to line up for a monthly dose of whatever is in this stuff. They sure do censor a lot of information about ingredients and those who ask questions about what’s in it.
“In an earlier study we saw this lasted for about a month after the first dose, but then symptoms return,” said Strain. “The same pattern was seen when people went for their second jab. We want to find out whether, over time, offering regular doses can make this change permanent.“
Again, then this isn’t a vaccine. Here’s the definition of a vaccine:
a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. –Oxford Languages
So if they are treating symptoms now, not providing immunities, that would mean this “vaccine” is not a vaccine as those crazy conspiracy theorists already know. So what is it? And why are desperate to get into as many people as possible and convince them to take lifelong boosters?
Don’t worry. There’s still plenty of jabs for everyone! Manufacturers are currently making their second-generation “vaccines”. These will be designed to combat the Delta [Indian] variant, as well as the South Africa variant, allegedly.
We had better get our critical thinking skills perfected. Something is not right here, and a lot of us know it. Stay aware of what they are doing. They admit enough through propaganda but being able to dissect it will take a massive amount of discernment. Stay alert and prepared. That’s all we can do until the rest of the SHTF.

Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a home? For many Americans, this is not something that they need to imagine because it is a daily reality. Nobody knows for sure how many homeless individuals there are in this country, but recent estimates range from “fewer than 600,000 to more than 1.5 million people”, and everyone agrees that the number has been growing. Even as the wealthy engage in wild bidding wars over the most desirable properties, more impoverished Americans are being forced into the streets with each passing day. There has always been homelessness in America, but here in 2021 it is rapidly becoming a crisis of epic proportions.
Ironically, the state with the worst problem is also the wealthiest state in the nation. At least 160,000 homeless people currently live in California, although many believe that official figure is way too low. The number of homeless in the state had been rising for years, and then the pandemic came along…
Tent-lined streets with belongings scattered everywhere. Infected wounds with bugs living inside. A man who hasn’t showered in over a decade. An 80-year-old woman who can’t feed herself. People who ride the metro rail lines because the trains are a safer place to sleep.
California’s homeless problem has been out of control for decades. Then came COVID-19.
In many California cities, tent cities have seemingly popped up everywhere these days. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the number of tent encampments in San Francisco alone has grown by 70 percent during the pandemic…
Tent encampments are typical sights under freeways and in areas such as skid row – a pocket of downtown Los Angeles known for its vast homeless population – but the pandemic, shutdowns and quarantines caused them to spread across the city. Encampments popped up in parking lots, neighborhood parks and outside schools, not only in Los Angeles but other parts of the state.
In San Francisco alone, tent encampments grew by 70% and became more visible across the city, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
San Francisco is one of the wealthiest cities in the entire world.
If this is happening now, how bad will things get when the U.S. economy really starts to fall apart?
The homelessness crisis continues to grow rapidly on the east coast as well. In New York City, many have become concerned about the “growing presence” of the homeless in Times Square…
An influx of homeless people into Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood after an emergency move by New York City to ease crowding in shelters has been a fact of pandemic life for the neighborhood since last spring.
Many of the newcomers, living in nearby hotel rooms contracted by the city, have been largely inconspicuous. But others with mental health and drug problems have become a growing presence in Hell’s Kitchen and adjacent Times Square.
Now that the pandemic is fading, many New Yorkers are quite eager to have the homeless removed from Times Square because the tourists are starting to return.
Needless to say, seeing hordes of homeless people laying in the streets is not good for business, and the increase in homelessness has also helped to fuel a dramatic rise in violent crime in the Times Square area…
The police precinct that includes Times Square and many of the hotels has seen a 183 percent spike in felony assaults and 173 percent spike in robberies so far this year compared to 2020, according to NYPD data.
As you can probably imagine, homelessness has been growing in the middle of the country too.
In Dallas, a large homeless camp was recently removed by authorities after local residents loudly complained…
The city of Dallas has removed a homeless camp after nearby residents complained it was putting their health and safety in jeopardy.
While some who called the camp home say they have no place to go, neighbors are grateful the city is finally responding. The sprawling homeless encampment was covered by a canopy of trees and located behind houses along Tres Logos Lane in northeast Dallas.
Nobody wants a homeless camp in their neighborhood, but where are those homeless people supposed to go?
They have to sleep somewhere.
But for now, residents of that particular neighborhood are just thrilled that those homeless people are no longer their problem. In fact, one local resident told the press that she is so happy that they are gone that she has “chills”…
“I am so excited, I am so happy, I have chills,” said resident Maria Sanchez. “It’s not just the homelessness that we’re talking about, its other individuals that are, you know, doing other illicit activities sketchy activities.”
So what happens if Maria Sanchez loses her current job and starts getting behind on her rent or mortgage payments?
Ultimately, the vast majority of Americans are just a few months away from being homeless themselves.
In fact, now that a nationwide eviction moratorium is ending, we are being told that millions more Americans could soon be forced out into the streets…
MILLIONS of renters face eviction as a nationwide ban is set to end in two weeks.
It comes as 5.7million Americans – nearly 14% of all renters nationwide – had fallen behind on their rent in April.
The study by the National Equity Atlas revealed that tenants owed nearly $20 billion in rent, with low-income people among those worst affected.
So as bad as things are now, they could soon get a whole lot worse.
Can you imagine what that would look like?
Sleeping on the streets is extremely dangerous, and vast numbers of homeless people end up dying. According to USA Today, more than 1,300 homeless people died in Los Angeles County alone in 2020…
The crisis in California has left a trail of death.
Some come from drug overdoses, violence or untreated illnesses that compound over time. Others come from suicide. These people die under freeways, along sidewalks and in alleys, hospitals and vehicles. More than 1,300 died last year in Los Angeles County alone. An additional 1,200 died the year before that.
During the pandemic, the federal government has borrowed and spent trillions and trillions of dollars, and the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions and trillions of dollars into the financial system, and yet the suffering of those at the bottom of the economic food chain has gotten much, much worse.
Something is very wrong with that picture.
No matter what our leaders do, the homelessness crisis in this country just seems to keep escalating. Vast numbers of our fellow citizens will be sleeping on the streets tonight, and many more will soon be joining them.
