German Politicians Worry About Their Gold In US Vaults

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. 

For decades, the idea that Germany’s gold reserves—some of the largest in the world—might not be safe in the vaults of the New York Federal Reserve would have seemed like the stuff of conspiracy theories. But as the political landscape shifts in Washington—and questions have been raised about what’s actually in US vaults —some German lawmakers are beginning to wonder aloud: Is their gold still secure?

Germany holds the second-largest hoard of gold on the planet, surpassed only by the United States itself. Roughly 37 percent of that treasure – some 1,236 metric tons, currently valued at around €113 billion – supposedly lies deep beneath the streets of Manhattan, stored with America’s central bank. For decades, the arrangement was seen as a prudent hedge, offering Germany immediate access to dollar liquidity in the event of a crisis.

Now, some in Berlin are rethinking that assumption.

Of course, the question now arises again,” Marco Wanderwitz, an outgoing lawmaker from the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), told the German tabloid Bild (owned by POLITICO’s parent company, Axel Springer) last week. Wanderwitz has long harbored doubts about the wisdom of keeping such a significant portion of the country’s wealth abroad. In 2012, he made an unsuccessful push to personally inspect the gold, urging the Bundesbank to act more transparently – or bring the bullion home.

Fellow CDU member Markus Ferber, a member of the European Parliament, echoed those sentiments, calling for more rigorous oversight. “Official representatives of the Bundesbank must personally count the bars and document their results,” Ferber told the outlet.

These calls come at a time of deepening skepticism toward the institutions that once underpinned Germany’s postwar confidence. The recent decision to discard the so-called “debt brake,” a long-sacrosanct cap on public borrowing, signaled a willingness to rethink long-standing fiscal orthodoxy. The logic behind storing Germany’s gold in New York, once assumed to be self-evident, is now coming under similar scrutiny.

Adding to the speculation is Elon Musk and DOGE, who have questioned the authenticity of stated U.S. gold holdings – recently calling for a formal audit of America’s reserves.

For the Deutsche Bundesbank, which oversees the management of Germany’s reserves, any suggestion of instability is unwelcome. The central bank has maintained a quiet and resolute stance, rebuffing insinuations of risk.

We have a trustworthy and reliable partner in the Fed in New York for the storage of our gold holdings,” Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said at a press conference in February, a line the bank reiterated when asked for comment on Friday. “It does not keep me awake at night. I have complete confidence in our colleagues at the American central bank.

Famous last words…

In 2013, amid a populist outcry and growing eurozone instability, the ‘completely confident’ Bundesbank repatriated hundreds of tons of gold previously held in Paris – a move that was seen at the time as a symbolic reassertion of sovereignty. The bank argued that, with France and Germany sharing the euro, the strategic rationale for keeping reserves in Paris had faded.

Now, more than half of Germany’s gold sits safely in Frankfurt. Thirteen percent is held in London. But it is the tranche in New York – once a monument to transatlantic trust – that is drawing the most anxious of glances.

One question… GOT GOLD?

Bill Gates Says AI Will Eliminate Most Jobs Except For Coders, Energy Experts, And Biologists

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé.

Doctors, teachers, farmers, and many others who are going along with the Globalists’ agenda will soon learn what the agenda has in store for them.

Bill Gates has “predicted” that over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence (“AI”) will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world.  He singled out three occupations that AI will not be able to replace: coders, energy experts, and biologists.

On Wednesday, CNBC reported that Bill Gates has “predicted” that within the next 10 years, advancements in artificial intelligence (“AI”) will significantly reduce the need for human involvement in many tasks, including those of doctors, teachers, and people who are “growing food.” He made the remarks during an interview with Jimmy Fallon last month.

The Tonight Show: Bill Gates Joked with Steve Jobs About Taking the Wrong LSD, Talks AI and Optimism for the Future, 5 February 2025 (10 mins)

The full interview from which the clip above was taken is unavailable in the UK. However, Indian news outlets are reporting more details.  According to Business Standard, during the interview, Gates identified only three occupations that are likely to remain safe from a hostile AI takeover: coders, energy experts and biologists.

See also:

Gates believes coders are necessary because while AI can generate code, it makes errors that only human programmers can correct. So, coders are needed to refine, debug and advance AI itself.  But for how long will coders be useful?

Interestingly, writing for Windows Central earlier this week, Kevin Okemwa said, “Over the past few months, I’ve covered multiple reports suggesting that coding might be dead in the water with the rapid prevalence of AI.  NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discouraged the youth from exploring a career path in software engineering, suggesting they might have better luck in biology, education, manufacturing or farming.”

As for “energy experts,” Gates claims the complexity of managing power grids and critical infrastructure requires human oversight for safety and strategic decisions.  Again, for how long? Because when the energy required to supply the Globalists’ control system is in place, will “energy experts” be required?

The strategic decision Gates refers to is not for our benefit, it is part of an agenda to monitor and control everything and everyone.  Together with the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and other technologies, AI is part of the Fourth Industrial Revolutionaccording to the World Economic Forum (“WEF”).

The IoT consists of sensors and intelligence added to physical objects such as mobile phones, wearables, driverless cars, waste management, objects on city streets, in homes and hospitals; any object or location (e.g. a city or factory) prefixed by the word “smart,” which collects and shares data across the internet, is part of the IoT.

“By 2025, 41.6 billion devices will be capturing data on how we live, work, move through our cities and operate and maintain the machines on which we depend,” WEF predicted in 2021.

AI will be used to monitor and control all the IoT data. And the IoT isn’t the only ambition they have.  There are similar plans for the Internet of Bodies (“IoB”), also known as the Internet of Living Things (“IoLT”), the Internet of Underwater Things (“IoUT”), Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) and the Internet of Everything (“IoE”), as well as digital twinsdigital IDs and central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) or cryptocurrencies.

AI requires an enormous amount of energy. The more AI is used, the more energy the system will require.

The third group whose jobs Gates deems worthy of saving are biologists. Gates “predicts” that biologists will remain essential in the face of AI advancements due to their unique skills in scientific discovery and critical thinking.

While AI can process vast datasets and aid in disease diagnosis, it lacks the ability to formulate groundbreaking hypotheses or make intuitive leaps in research.  AI has yet to master creativity, intuition and critical thinking – Gates is foolish if he thinks it ever will.  Nevertheless, apparently, out of all the many roles people fulfil in the world, biologists are the only ones, according to Gates, who rely on these human qualities.

Importantly to Gates, these qualities are essential for pushing the boundaries of medical research and understanding life’s complexities. While AI excels in processing data and identifying patterns, so it is claimed, it cannot independently generate novel ideas or challenge conventional knowledge.  Medical advancements often require years of trial and error, ethical considerations, and an in-depth understanding of human biology, which AI cannot fully replicate.

They may attempt to promote their agenda to the public as being “for our own good,” but in reality, it is anything but that. While we do not know the exact or full purpose for which Gates intends to use biologists, we can make some educated guesses. As we have learnt during the covid era, none of them are good. See our previous articles below for some ideas Gates may be harbouring:

If biologists have the creativity, intuition and critical thinking Gates aims to use to further his agenda, then they will know that when their usefulness to Gates comes to an end, they will share the same fate as doctors, farmers and teachers.

If Everything Is Going To Be Okay, Why Are The U.S. And The EU Feverishly Preparing For World War III?

If there is going to be peace in the Middle East, why has the Pentagon sent 25 percent of our entire fleet of B-2 stealth bombers to the region? And if there is going to be peace in Europe, why is the European Union telling all of their citizens to store up food and water for a war with Russia?  We keep being told that everything is going to be okay, but meanwhile western officials continue to make moves that indicate that more war is coming.

According to Newsweek, the United States has “significantly increased its military presence” in the Middle East during the past couple of weeks…

The U.S. has significantly increased its military presence in both the Gulf and Indian Ocean, deploying B-2 stealth bombers, cargo planes, and aerial refueling tankers, alongside key assets like the USS Carl Vinson and USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers.

I am particularly concerned about the deployment of highly advanced B-2 stealth bombers to the region.

It is being reported that “at least five” B-2 stealth bombers have been deployed to the island of Diego Garcia…

The US military has sent at least five B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to highly strategic island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

These heavy bombers can obliterate targets with their huge 25 tonne bomb payload per jet.

This means the US’s deadly fleet of five could carry an astounding 125 tonnes of bombs.

For those that do not know, Afghanistan was relentlessly bombed by U.S. air assets based in Diego Garcia during the invasion of that nation in 2001, and Iraq was relentlessly bombed by U.S. air assets based in Diego Garcia during the invasion of that nation in 2003.

Currently, the U.S. only possesses 20 B-2 stealth bombers, and so that means that 25 percent of them are now in Diego Garcia.

It is being speculated that these B-2 bombers could be involved in the ongoing campaign to bomb the Houthis in Yemen, but it is important to note that these B-2 bombers would also be ideal for carrying out the sort of “bunker buster” strikes that would be necessary to take out Iran’s nuclear program…

The bombers present a unique mix of capabilities, particularly their ability to penetrate past dense enemy air defenses to carry out ‘bunker buster’ strikes employing 30,000-pound class GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs. MOP, which only the B-2 is currently certified to employ operationally, itself offers a unique conventional option for striking deeply buried and fortified targets, of which there are many in Iran.

We do know that President Trump recently delivered a letter to the Iranians that gives them a choice with a very clear deadline.

Either the Iranians must make an agreement to end their nuclear program within two months or they will be attacked

Recently, President Trump revealed that he had sent a letter to Tehran, demanding a new nuclear agreement within two months or face significant military consequences. With negotiations stalled and the deadline looming, the diplomatic window for de-escalation is quickly closing, leaving military action as an increasingly likely outcome.

The Iranians have already told us that they have no plans to negotiate.

So it appears that it is just a matter of time before the second option is implemented.

In a recent interview with “Face the Nation”, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz made it clear that there will be no compromises

“Iran has to give up its program in a way that the entire world can see,” Mike Waltz, Trump’s National Security Advisor, said during a separate interview on CBS News‘ “Face the Nation” this weekend. “It is time for Iran to walk away completely from its desire to have a nuclear weapon, and they will not and cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapons program. That is its weaponization and its strategic missiles program.”

If B-2 stealth bombers start hitting Iran’s nuclear facilities, we will officially be at war with Iran.

I hope that everyone understands the implications of that.

Meanwhile, the European Union is “pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc” to prepare an emergency kit in case a direct war with Russia breaks out…

European Union bureaucrats are pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to prepare the kit for war and natural disasters.

It is expected that will be part of a union’s broader “preparedness strategy” amid the threat from Russia.

Key items they will ask the bloc’s 450 million citizens to gather includes water, energy bars and a flashlight.

Why does every home in the EU need to prepare for war with Russia if there is going to be peace?

Do EU bureaucrats know something that the rest of us do not?

Sadly, it appears that even the very limited agreements that Russia and Ukraine just agreed to are not going to hold.  The Ukrainians just launched more strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, and the Russians just keep sending waves of drone attacks at Ukrainian cities

Overnight, Russia said it had taken down nine drones, including two over the Black Sea. It also said Ukraine tried to attack a gas storage facility in Russian-occupied Crimea and energy infrastructure in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions. Ukraine said it conducted no such strikes.

Ukraine’s military reported 117 Russian drone attacks overnight. Local officials said the city of Kryvyi Rih had been hit by the biggest drone attack it has faced yet.

Hopefully both sides will come to their senses, because this is our one shot at peace.

If negotiations ultimately fail, it is inevitable that both sides will escalate matters, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is warning that an attack on Poland or any other NATO member “will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance”

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte issued a stern warning to Vladimir Putin, stating that any attack on Poland or another NATO member would be met with a “devastating” response.

“If anyone were to miscalculate and think they can get away with an attack on Poland or on any other ally, they will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance. Our reaction will be devastating” he declared in Warsaw. “This has to be very clear to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and anyone else who wants to attack us.”

Those are unusually strong words.

Is he expecting something to happen?

Ominously, we are being told that four U.S. soldiers were just found dead near Lithuania’s border with Belarus

Four US soldiers have reportedly been found dead in Lithuania after going missing during a training mission. A major search operation was launched after the tracked vehicle they were travelling in disappeared at around 4.45pm yesterday.

The Embassy in Vilnius has yet to confirm the deaths after releasing a statement to confirm only that four soldiers were missing. But speaking to reporters while visiting Warsaw, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said: “Whilst I was speaking the news came out about four American soldiers who were killed in an incident in Lithuania,” as he confirmed he had no further details. The search, involving Lithuanian and US assets, has identified a “possible location” of where they are believed to have disappeared.

This is a very alarming incident.

Hopefully we will learn more details shortly.

There is one last thing that I wanted to mention today.  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just told European journalists that Russian President Vladimir Putin “will die soon”

Volodymyr Zelensky has predicted that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘will die soon’ in a candid assessment as he discussed the war on Ukraine. Speaking during a round table with journalists including the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen, the Ukrainian leader said: “He will die soon, and that’s a fact, and it will come to an end.”

What an irresponsible thing to say.

Yes, Putin has been experiencing health problems for a long time.

But if Putin does die soon, the Russians will remember what Zelenskyy just said.  At that point it would be exceedingly difficult to convince the Russians that nothing nefarious was going on, and getting both sides to agree to any sort of a peace deal would almost certainly become impossible.

We are at such a delicate moment.

The decisions that global leaders make over the next several months could dramatically alter the course of human history, and right now I am not particularly optimistic about where things are heading.

An Internal Revolution Started By The Communists

Everyone knew that there would be violence once Donald Trump returned to the White House.  He has been the most demonized man in America for the past eight years, and there are a lot of people out there that have deeply internalized the propaganda that has been relentlessly pounded into their heads.  At this point, there is no president in the entire history of our country that the left hates more than Donald Trump.  Just the mere thought of him can provoke uncontrollable rage in many leftists.  So it was inevitable that there would be violence, and I am entirely convinced that what we have experienced so far is just the beginning of a tsunami of civil disorder.

During the past couple of months, Tesla vehicles and Tesla dealerships have become favorite targets for those that absolutely hate the changes that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been making to the federal government.  The following summary of attacks was put together by Connor O’Keeffe

In recent weeks, there has been a sharp increase in violent attacks aimed at destroying cars and other property carrying the logo of Elon Musk’s electric car company, Tesla.

In Colorado, a woman was charged with using Molotov cocktails to set multiple cars at a Tesla dealership on fire before painting the word Nazi on a store sign. In Oregon, one man fired a rifle into one Tesla dealership while someone else fired shots and threw explosives into another. In Washington, four Tesla Cybertrucks were set on fire, a Tesla sedan was covered in gasoline and set ablaze on a city street, and various other Cybertrucks had swastikas painted on them.

Seven Tesla charging stations were burned in Massachusetts, two Teslas were set on fire in Texas, several Teslas were shot and lit on fire in Nevada, and much more. As recently as Monday, multiple firebombs were discovered in a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas. It’s clear that these are, at the very least, copycat acts aimed at Elon Musk and anyone who owns or is interested in buying a car from his company.

We have seen attacks happen over and over again, and a number of the perpetrators have been arrested.

Needless to say, it isn’t moderate Democrats that are committing these acts of violence.

In almost every case, the ideology of those that have been arrested is on the far left of the political spectrum.

In fact, a 36-year-old man that has been charged with a series of attacks in Las Vegas is being described as a “potential communist”

An alleged ‘Communist’ has been arrested in Las Vegas for setting several Tesla cars on fire using Molotov cocktails before firing rounds into the burning vehicles on March 18.

Paul Hyon Kim, 36, was charged on Wednesday with 15 offenses, including arson and destroying or injuring personal property valued at $5,000 or more, police told a press conference the following day.

Las Vegas Metro Police also said Kim’s social media indicated that he was a ‘potential Communist’ with ‘pro Palestine affiliations’, according to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin.

Even before the election, many on the far left were openly talking about the need for a “revolution” if Trump won.

Now that Trump is back in the Oval Office, the chatter about a “revolution” on social media has only intensified.

Most conservatives have no idea how serious there people are about their plans.

Of course many on the far left don’t use the term “communist” anymore.  Instead they will refer to themselves as “socialists”, “anarchists”, “revolutionaries” or “progressives”.

But at the end of the day, their ideology is pretty much indistinguishable from the ideology of other communist movements all over the globe.

Many conservatives are downplaying the threat of far left violence, and I believe that is a huge mistake.

Yes, there have been some incidents that have been quite funny.  For example, one radical leftist that attempted to ram his four-wheeler into the side of a Cybertruck should have known that it wouldn’t do any damage at all.  The following comes from a humorous piece that was posted on Zero Hedge

We present readers with what may be one of the dumbest, most brainwashed, unhealthiest, lowest IQ, and unhinged Democrat yet—a morbidly obsessed activist who slammed his ATV into the driver’s side of a Tesla Cybertruck, an incident likely linked to radical far-left political grievances captured by the vehicle’s Sentry Mode security cameras.

Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt wrote on X, “This guy was arrested today after ramming his mini four-wheeler into a Cybertruck,” adding, “Little did he know that the Cybertruck has 1.8mm bulletproof stainless-steel doors capable of taking some heavy hits. He was charged with one count of felony criminal mischief & failure to identify.”

Apparently this particular individual vandalized a number of Tesla vehicles, and Texarkana police reported on Facebook that they now have him in custody…

We arrested 33 year old Demarqeyun Cox this afternoon after he allegedly damaged multiple Tesla vehicles in separate incidents across the city today.

The first report came from the Golden Palace restaurant on Summerhill Road, where surveillance footage from the car itself captured a guy on a mini four-wheeler intentionally ramming a parked Tesla at full speed. While officers were searching for the suspect, another call came in reporting damage to a Tesla in the Lowe’s parking lot.

Shortly after that, Officer Blake Lummus spotted Cox riding a mini four-wheeler near Summerhill and New Boston Roads and recognized him as the suspect in the earlier video. After being stopped, Cox initially gave a false name but was quickly identified and taken into custody.

That is great news.

But there are thousands of others just like him.

And in this environment, Elon Musk is not the only billionaire that is being targeted.

A “Robin Hood mentality” is starting to take hold in America, and there are apparently many leftists that are convinced that it is okay to shoplift from Whole Foods because it is owned by Jeff Bezos

Take Jesse, a 30-something tech worker who until recently would steal entire bags of groceries from Whole Foods with his roommates. A friend at Instacart tipped them off to the opportunity — with so many personal shoppers roaming around the aisles, workers weren’t going to notice another person loading bags or whether they were paying for what was in them. Once, they got expensive steaks from the butcher and left without paying for them, later grilling them out on a friend’s roof.

“I never felt bad for the corporation as a whole, because it was Amazon and, you know, it was Jeff Bezos,” Jesse said. “He just profits so much taking advantage of the little people, so if we as little people can bite back a little bit, and that’s me taking $100 maybe out of revenue for him, that’s a little bit of a middle finger.”

Separately, there’s Carson, another Whole Foods bandit whose friends joke they’re actually “liberating” items from the store, not stealing. As Carson, a 30-something who works in the nonprofit sector, told me for a story last year, he likes slipping salmon lox into his laptop sleeve and estimates he saves about $1,000 in groceries a year by shoplifting, largely from Whole Foods.

Stealing something that does not belong to you is always wrong.

It doesn’t matter if it is owned by a billionaire or by a homeless person.

Unfortunately, so many leftists in our society now believe that morality is relative.

They have created an entirely alternate reality for themselves where it is okay to lie, cheat, steal and firebomb Tesla dealerships.

And in this alternate reality, Donald Trump is literally the devil.

Since Trump is literally the personification of evil in their minds, they desperately want Democrats in Washington “to be much more aggressive” with Trump…

Mike Arnold, a 74-year-old Air Force veteran from Cathedral City, California, said he attended a Khanna event in Norco this past weekend, because he “got tired of screaming at the TV.”

Like Siegel, he said he isn’t sure the country will make it to Democratic elections in 2026. Trump, he said, is advancing an authoritarian agenda — bullying white-shoe law firms and universities and calling for the impeachment of judges who rule against him.

“The courts might not hold, and if the courts don’t hold, the only next thing is the military itself,” said Arnold. Democratic leaders, Arnold said, “have to be much more aggressive than they have been.”

During the weeks and months ahead, I certainly expect the left to get “much more aggressive”, and that will not be good for any of us.

In a civilized society, there is no room for political violence.

Unfortunately, we are not a civilized society any longer.

An internal revolution has already begun, and it will grow every time Donald Trump makes another major move that the left does not like.

Sadly, most people on the left and the right have no idea where all of this civil disorder will eventually take us.

11 Cats In Colorado Test Positive For Bird Flu As More Cat Food Is Recalled

Eleven cats have tested positive for bird flu following the recall of more contaminated cat food. Scientific sources continue to report that cats are a potential vector for transmitting avian influenza from wild birds to humans. At the same time, more cat food recalls have been announced as contaminated food reaches pet cats, sickening them.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture posted on Facebook on Wednesday that 11 cats, including indoor-only and indoor-outdoor cats, had reportedly contracted the avian flu. According to the department, only one of the infected cats has survived.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, infected cats may show the following symptoms:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargy
  • Fever
  • Neurologic signs — circling, tremors, seizures, blindness
  • Severe depression
  • Heavy discharge from the nose and eyes
  • Other respiratory signs

Cats can avoid infection by not allowing them to eat raw poultry products.

According to an alert issued by the Food and Drug Administration in February, the company became aware of a cat in Colorado that contracted H5N1, fell ill, and recovered. The product in question was removed from the market while testing took place. Then, on March 13th, Savage Pet was made aware of an additional case in New York in which a kitten contracted avian flu.

The most recent recall applies to specific lots of Savage Cat Food‘s large and small chicken boxes, which were sold at retailers in California, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

Cats Are Getting Bird Flu From Human Dairy Workers?

“Cats appear to be particularly susceptible to severe illness, often resulting in death,” the AVMA said in a statement. “The risk of cat-to-human transmission is considered extremely low but may increase with prolonged, unprotected exposure to infected animals.

According to the FDA, no human infections have been identified among people handling raw pet food products. Still, people can become infected if the virus gets into a person’s eyes, nose, or mouth.

Civil Unrest Warnings: Spot the First Signs Before Chaos Hits!

Most people don’t realize civil unrest is coming until it is already happening. However, it does not happen overnight. Tensions rise, crime increases, and daily life starts to feel different. If you pay attention, you can spot the signs early and prepare before things worsen. Here’s how to spot warning signs and how to respond.

1. Protests and Public Protests Are Getting Bigger and More Hostile

Protests and public protests are common. However, when the activities grow larger, happen more frequently, or turn hostile, they signal deeper problems. A peaceful protest can quickly turn violent if tensions rise between protesters and opposing groups or with the police.

Warning Signs:
✔ Protests blocking roads, government buildings, or businesses
✔ Clashes between protesters and law enforcement
✔ Rioters looting stores or setting fires
✔ Authorities struggling to keep control

When protests become destructive, it becomes harder for law enforcement to restore order.

What You Should Do: Avoid protest areas even if they seem peaceful. Roadblocks can trap people and violence can break out suddenly. Also, stay updated with local news and real-time reports.

2. Law Enforcement Is Changing Its Presence

When police are frequently visible in large numbers, it usually means they expect trouble. When they start pulling back, it could mean they are overwhelmed, ordered to stand down, or losing control. Either situation is a warning sign of growing instability.

Warning Signs:
✔ More armored vehicles, riot gear, and police blockades
✔ Checkpoints appearing in busy areas
✔ Slow or no response to emergency calls
✔ Entire police districts shutting down or avoiding high-crime areas

When law enforcement withdraws, criminals take advantage, and crime increases.

What You Should Do: Pay attention to how fast emergency services respond. If police stop showing up when called, assume that you will need to protect yourself. Secure your home and avoid unnecessary trips outside.

3. Stores Are Running Out of Essentials

When people sense instability, they tend to panic. Supplies disappear quickly, and shortages go beyond groceries. Fuel, medicine, and even cash can become difficult to find.

Warning Signs:
✔ Grocery store shelves staying empty for long periods
✔ Gas stations running out of fuel or placing limits on purchases
✔ Banks enforcing cash withdrawal limits
✔ Pharmacies struggling to restock medicine

When supply chains break down, restocking becomes unpredictable. Shortages can also lead to price spikes, theft, and panic.

What You Should Do: Stock up before shortages start. Keep extra food, water, and medical supplies to avoid the rush when everyone else starts panicking.

4. News and Social Media Are Spreading Confusing Information

During unrest, finding accurate information becomes harder. News outlets may ignore or exaggerate events, while social media may spread rumors. This makes it tricky to separate fact from fiction.

Warning Signs:
✔ News stations downplaying or ignoring major events
✔ Social media is flooded with unconfirmed videos and rumors
✔ Government statements going against local reports
✔ Internet slowdowns or blackouts

What You Should Do: Don’t rely on a single news source. Compare different reports, follow local updates, and verify information before reacting.

5. Banks and Financial Organizations Are Struggling

When banks enforce restrictions, they’re usually preparing for financial trouble. A failing economy can lead to more instability and make daily transactions harder.

Warning Signs:
✔ ATMs running out of cash frequently
✔ Credit and debit card transactions failing unexpectedly
✔ Rapid inflation making food and gas unaffordable
✔ Stock market crashes or bank closures

When financial organizations struggle, people may lose access to their money. This can lead to heightened panic as citizens without hard currency won’t be able to buy basic goods.

What You Should Do: Keep emergency cash in small bills. Also, storing physical assets like gold, silver, or barter items can provide backup in case banks freeze accounts.

6. Violent Crime and Theft Are Increasing

When people cannot afford basic needs, crime rises. If law enforcement becomes weak or unresponsive, criminals get bolder in committing more crimes.

Warning Signs:
✔ Increased reports of home invasions, carjackings, and armed robberies
✔ Stores hiring private security or closing earlier than usual
✔ Groups committing crimes in broad daylight
✔ A rise in random attacks on pedestrians

What You Should Do: Improve your home’s security by reinforcing doors and windows. Install security cameras if possible. Avoid unnecessary trips, especially alone or at night.

7. Military or National Guard Are Being Sent In

If the government sends troops or the National Guard, it means they’re probably preparing for serious instability. This usually happens during large protests, natural disasters, or lockdowns.

Warning Signs:
✔ Military checkpoints appearing in cities
✔ Soldiers patrolling streets instead of police
✔ Curfews or movement restrictions being put in place

Go Bag Upgrade: Spring-Clean Your Bug-Out Bag Today!

Spring cleaning isn’t just for closets—it’s for bug-out bags, too. As temperatures rise, your gear needs to match the season’s demands. Carrying expired rations, heavy winter clothing, and corroded batteries won’t just weigh you down—it could leave you unprepared when it matters most. That’s why a seasonal refresh is essential to stay ready for action. This guide covers what gear to swap out, what to add, and how to pack smarter for spring survival. A well-maintained go bag isn’t just easier to carry—it also boosts your chances of surviving any emergency. Let’s get started.

Why Update Your Bug-Out Bag?

As the season changes, your survival needs change as well. The heavy layers and cold-weather gear that kept you warm in winter are now unnecessary weight. Carrying extra bulk burns energy, slows movement, and reduces efficiency during an emergency.

Spring also brings unpredictable weather that affects your packing strategy. To stay ready, you’ll need breathable clothing, heat-resistant food, and reliable water storage. Updating your bug-out bag keeps you mobile, prepared, and equipped for the season ahead.

Here are some helpful tips to keep your go bag in top shape:

Step 1: Dump Everything Out

Lay everything out in front. Don’t just peek inside and assume everything’s fine. Specifically, check for expired food, leaking batteries, or worn-out gear.

Once everything is out, sort your items into three categories:

Keep – Items that are in good condition and suited for spring.
Remove – Winter gear, expired supplies, or broken items.
Replace/Upgrade – Items you need to swap for more suitable options.

This step helps you see what you actually have versus what you think you have.

Step 2: Swap Out Winter Gear for Spring Essentials

Now that you have a clear idea of what your bug-out bag contains, it’s time to adjust for spring conditions.

Clothing

❌ Remove thick thermal layers, heavy gloves, and insulated boots.
✅ Add moisture-wicking shirts, convertible pants, and breathable footwear.

Shelter & Sleeping

❌ Swap out your heavy winter sleeping bag.
✅ Pack a lightweight sleeping bag or a hammock with a rainfly.

Fire & Warmth

❌ Remove excess thermal blankets and hand warmers.
✅ Keep a reliable fire-starting kit with waterproof matches or a ferro rod.

Food & Hydration

❌ Ditch calorie-heavy winter meals.
✅ Add high-protein snacks like jerky, trail mix, and freeze-dried meals.
✅ Get a water filtration system for safe and clean drinking water.

First Aid & Hygiene

❌ Remove cold-weather ointments and lip balms.
✅ Add bug spray, sunscreen, and allergy medicine.

Tools & Defense

✅ Keep your multi-tool, knife, and compact self-defense items.
✅ Swap out thick gloves for lightweight spring gloves.

Spring season requires more movement and lighter loads. The goal is to be prepared without unnecessary weight in your backpack.

Step 3: Refresh Your First Aid Kit

Your first aid kit is easy to overlook, but it’s one of the most important parts of your bag. Open it and check each item’s expiration dates. Replace anything that’s expired, damaged or missing.

Spring season means more time outdoors, which also means more insect bites and sun exposure. Always add antihistamines and sunscreen to your pack. Plus, do carry extra electrolyte tablets to help with hydration. If you don’t already carry wet wipes, put some now for quick and easy hygiene solutions.

Step 4: Check Batteries and Electronics

If your go bag includes a flashlight, radio, or GPS, now’s the time to test them. Batteries can leak, and electronics can fail, so swap out old batteries for fresh ones.

Additionally, switch to rechargeable batteries with a compact solar charger. If you carry a power bank, make sure it’s fully charged before putting it back in your bag.

Step 5: Adjust Your EDC (Everyday Carry)

Your everyday carry should also match the season. If you carry a pocket knife, sharpen it before putting it back in the bag. Another tip is to swap out heavy winter gloves for lighter ones. A small flashlight or headlamp also remains essential, as spring nights can still be dark. Moreover, spring weather is unpredictable, so add a small packable poncho in case of sudden rain.

Step 6: Test & Repack Smarter

Before putting everything back in your bag, organize them first. Place frequently used items in easy-to-reach pockets. Then, keep emergency tools near the top. Pack heavier items closer to your back to balance the weight.

After repacking, wear your bag for a short walk. If it feels too heavy, remove non-essential items. The goal is a lighter pack for better mobility during an emergency.

Step 7: Final Checklist ✅

Before calling it done, go through this quick checklist:

  • Updated seasonal clothing
  • Weather-appropriate shelter & sleeping gear
  • Lighter, energy-efficient food options
  • Functional fire-starting kit
  • Fresh first aid supplies
  • Bug spray & sunscreen added
  • Checked and replaced batteries
  • Well-organized, easy-to-access packing

Once you’ve checked off everything, it’s safe to say your go bag is spring-ready.

Stay Ready, Stay Smart

Spring brings new survival challenges, but a well-prepared bug-out bag keeps you ahead of the new season. Lighter gear, fresh supplies and better organization make a huge difference when you’re in survival mode. So set aside 30 minutes this week to refresh your BOB. When the time comes, you’ll be glad you did.

“Domestic Terrorism” Declared In Violent Tesla Attacks

United States Attorney General Pam Bondi has declared the recent violent attacks on Tesla showrooms, service centers, Supercharger networks, and vehicles as “nothing short of domestic terrorism.” Bondi released a statement overnight, adding that “The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences.”

The latest act of domestic terrorism attack on Tesla occurred at a service center in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning. Below, we provide readers with dramatic footage (previous post), along with images of the crime scene—featuring one key indication suggesting far-left groups were behind the arson attack.

Media outlet KLAS, an 8NewsNow CBS affiliate, reported the Tesla Collision Center in the 6000 block of Badura Avenue, near Jones Boulevard and the 215 Beltway, had several vehicles set on fire in the parking lot by an individual around 0245 local time. “Resist” had been spray painted on the window (see image above.)

One citizen journalist posted images from the crime scene, showing “political motive,” meaning this attack is clearly “domestic terrorism,” according to an assessment by ZeroHedge. 

Musk on Sean Hannity…

ZeroHedge has asked: Why haven’t Democrats condemned the terror attacks? Elon Musk has called the attacks “extreme domestic terrorism…

 

Political “activists” are targeting the American company with arson attacks at showroom locations and Supercharging networks, while deranged lone-wolf idealogues are vandalizing Teslas in parking lots, parking garages, and on city streets. The anger seems to be focused on the Trump administration’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which is run by Elon Musk, who has been tasked with eliminating fraud and waste in the ruling class’s agencies.

President Donald Trump has previously stated that such domestic attacks on Tesla will be labeled domestic terrorism, and perpetrators will “go through hell.”

UN Declares “Unprecedented” Bird Flu Threat

A United Nations agency has warned that an unprecedented threat from avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has emerged. The Food and Agriculture Organization claimed that as H5N1 has jumped to mammals, there will be “serious impacts” on food production, rural jobs, local economies, and consumer prices.

According to a report by Politico EU, H5N1 has also surfaced in wild and domestic mammals, including zoo animals, pets, and dairy cattle.

Canada’s Bird Flu Case Is A Different Strain Than Is Found In Dairy Cattle

The HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) virus was first identified in 1996 in China. Since then, it has been the ruling class’s reason for the mass culling of meat and egg-producing birds worldwide. Europe lost about 47.7 million farmed birds in the 2021-22 epidemic, and the United States has culled at least 166 million since the latest outbreak began.

The fallout has sent egg prices soaring in the U.S., but egg-based flu vaccines remain secure. You may not be able to afford to eat eggs, but you could get a free flu shot if you want.

Egg-Based Flu “Vaccines” Are “Secure”

FAO officials are urging governments to ramp up surveillance, strengthen biosecurity, and bolster outbreak response. “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” FAO Deputy Director-General Beth Bechdol said, emphasizing the need for coordinated global action to curb the virus’s spread and prevent further disruptions to food systems.

For now, public health officials insist the risk remains low, but the threat is still “unprecedented.” Scientists have also started to warn that the virus’s spread in mammals gives it more chances to evolve, increasing its potential to infect humans. So far, no human-to-human transmission of H5N1 has been reported. There has been one human death in the U.S.

First U.S. Human Bird Flu Death Reported

While culling is a barbaric and ineffective policy for preventing the bird flu from spreading, it is still widely used. Wild birds, which the ruling class is unable to mass cull, are also responsible for spreading the virus.

Russia Says UK and French Idea Of NATO “Peacekeepers” Means WAR

Russia’s former president and the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said that sending NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) “peacekeepers” to Ukraine would mean war. The idea, floated by the United Kingdom and France, is to use NATO troops against Russia.

In a post on X on Sunday, Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, stated that French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer “are playing dumb.”

“Time and again they are told that peacekeepers must be from non-NATO states. No, we will send tens of thousands – just lay it out – you want to give military aid to the neo-Nazis in Kiev,” Medvedev charged. “That means war with NATO. Consult with [US President Donald] Trump, scumbags,” he concluded.

Panicked Zelensky Offers To Resume Peace Talks After Trump Cuts Aid

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov previously similarly argued that the deployment of NATO military personnel to Ukraine, even under the guise of peacekeepers, would be tantamount to the “direct, official, undisguised involvement of NATO countries in the war against Russia.”

Earlier this month, Starmer announced that Britain and France were ready to lead a “coalition of the willing” to provide military support to Kiev, including the deployment of troops and aircraft. Speaking following an emergency summit in London, he said that “not every nation will feel able to contribute, but that can’t mean that we sit back. Instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency.”

This is not the first time the West has floated the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, and it isn’t the first time Russia threatened to ignite World War Three over it.
