We should be so thankful for vigilant election officials that are trying to do a great job of protecting the integrity of our system.  The incidents that I am about to share with you are deeply disturbing, but it is also encouraging that these crimes are being caught.  We should all be able to agree that the American people should be able to choose who they want in 2024.  No matter which side wins or which side loses, the will of the American people should be respected.  Sadly, there are those that wish to interfere in that process, and those people are committing crimes against all of us.

In Colorado, some ballots that were “intercepted” before reaching voters were filled out and mailed in.  The following comes from the Colorado Secretary of State’s official website…

The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office is monitoring a developing situation in Mesa County, Colorado regarding intercepted ballots.

On Tuesday, October 23, the Department of State learned that at least 12 ballots appear to have been intercepted before reaching voters. Those ballots were voted and then returned to the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder via USPS mailboxes. This issue was flagged during Colorado’s secure signature verification process.

Several of the affected voters contacted the Mesa County Clerk’s office after receiving communication that their ballot required curing due to a discrepant signature. One affected voter notified the Mesa County Clerk after they received notification through BallotTrax that their ballots had been received for processing by the Mesa County Clerk. BallotTrax is Colorado’s statewide tracking and notification system that lets voters who’ve signed up know where their ballot is.

If 12 of these ballots were caught, how many others slipped through without notice?

Colorado is a state that could play a significant role in the outcome of this election.  In early voting, Democrats have a lead of less than 3 percent in votes cast so far, and so the state could still go either way.

On Friday, I shared a story with my core supporters about a crime that is far, far worse than what is being reported in Colorado.

Pennsylvania is the most important swing state in this election, and the Lancaster Board of Elections has announced that “thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registrations” have been caught in that county alone…

A criminal investigation has been launched after thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registrations were discovered in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster County Board of Elections announced Friday that staff members identified 2,500 suspected fraudulent voter registration applications, which had been dropped off at the election office.

Some had false names, suspicious handwriting, questionable signatures, incorrect addresses or other problematic details.

Whoever is behind this scheme should be put in prison for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, it appears that this isn’t just happening in Lancaster County.

In fact, it is being reported that “similar applications” have been received by two other counties in Pennsylvania…

Two other Pennsylvania counties ‘received similar applications’ and were notified to check into them, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said at a news conference. She declined to name the other counties.

Why aren’t the big news networks making a big deal out of this?

When you mess with the vote, you are messing with every single American.

In such a close race, a little monkey business can go a long way.

At the moment, the early voting results look much different than they did last time around.

During the early voting period in 2020, the Democrats built up a lead of more than 14 percent in votes cast…

Democrats 22,250,979 44.8%
Republicans 15,168,587 30.5%
Minor 337,192 0.7%
No Party Affiliation 11,912,722 24.0%

But here in 2024, the Democrats have a lead of less than 4 percent when mail ballots and in-person early voting are combined…

Democrat 8,248,007 40.0%
Republican 7,466,403 36.2%
None/Minor 4,898,844 23.8%

This would appear to be really good news for the Trump campaign.

And things look even better for the Trump campaign when you look at some of the individual swing states.

For example, Democrats built up a 4 point lead in Nevada during early voting in 2020…

Democrats 445,351 39.7%
Republicans 400,248 35.6%
No Party Affiliation/Minr 277,371 24.7%

So far in 2024, it is a completely different story in the state, because Republicans have built up a lead of more than 5 percent at this point…

Democrat 213,331 34.8%
Republican 244,453 39.9%
None/Minor 154,700 25.3%

A similar thing is taking place in Arizona.  In 2020, Democrats narrowly cast more votes than Republicans did during early voting…

Democrats 923,805 37.4%
Republicans 914,172 37.0%
Minor/No Party Affiliation 633,600 25.6%

But this time Republicans have jumped out to a huge lead in Arizona…

Democrat 443,598 35.1%
Republican 530,604 42.0%
None/Minor 289,921 22.9%

I want to stress that we do not know who any of these people are voting for at this stage.

But it is clear that Republicans are doing a much better job at getting people to participate in early voting than they did four years ago.

During the month of October, Donald Trump has been surging in the polls, but to me the early voting numbers are far more important than the poll numbers.

With each passing day, the early voting numbers have been getting better and better for the Republicans, and I think that many top Democrats are justifiably beginning to panic.

But we still have more than a week to go until we reach Election Day, and as we have seen in the past, anything can still happen.

So buckle up and hold on tight, because things could potentially get really crazy this week.

And no matter who wins, there are going to be tens of millions of Americans that will feel absolutely devastated.

In fact, a Wall Street Journal poll just found that a whopping 87 percent of all U.S. voters “believe America will suffer permanent damage if their candidate loses”…

In a Wall Street Journal poll released last week, 87% of voters said they believe America will suffer permanent damage if their candidate loses. Among Harris’s voters, 57% said they would feel “frightened” if Trump is elected, while 47% of Trump voters said they would feel frightened if Harris wins; smaller percentages expected to feel the milder reactions of anger or disappointment. At least half of voters said they think violence is likely if either Trump or Harris wins, and 53% say America’s divisions will keep growing regardless of the election’s outcome.

For a long time, I have been warning that tremendous chaos would be coming to the streets of America.

Now we are almost there.

At this moment, both sides still believe that their candidate will emerge victorious.

But November 5th is right around the corner, and when the results are finally announced there will be millions upon millions of people that will be deeply upset and deeply angry.

Halloween is all about fun costumes, yummy treats, and festive excitement. However, it’s also a night that potentially comes with hidden dangers like traffic accidents, costume hazards, and unexpected injuries. Halloween safety should be a key part of planning for this holiday evening. Keep your Halloween nights fun, memorable, and safe for everyone by taking extra precautions.

Halloween Statistics

Halloween brings a sharp rise in child injuries. According to Rosenbaum Injury Law Firm, 2.6 child pedestrian deaths occur each day. During Halloween, this number rises to  5.5 deaths. Kids aged 12 to 15, who make up 32% of all total pedestrian deaths, are at a higher risk. Meanwhile, another 23% of these cases happen to kids aged 5 to 8. Notably, most accidents happen between 6 and 7 p.m.

Additionally, around 3,200 people visit the ER for Halloween-related injuries every year. Among the reasons for injury, pumpkin carving leads the pack at 55%. Next, falls account for another 25% while cuts or allergic reactions comprise 20%. Nearly half of these injuries involve kids under 18.  Furthermore, 23% of pedestrian deaths on Halloween are due to drunk driving.

Halloween Safety Checklist: Safety Tips for Parents and Kids

Halloween is all about fun, but safety comes first! This checklist will give you everything you need to keep your kids safe while enjoying the night. Here are some safety tips:

1. Choose Safe Costumes

• Wear costumes that fit well and aren’t too long to prevent accidents like tripping. Avoid long capes or any lengthy props that can be caught in doors or fans. 
• Add reflective tape or glow sticks to your costume to help drivers see you in the dark. When along along dimly-lit streets, carrying a flashlight can help you see better where you’re going.
• If you’re wearing flowing fabric, avoid standing near open flames. If possible, use flame-resistant costumes, especially when you know you’ll be around jack-o’-lanterns or candles.
• To prevent allergic reactions, always test makeup on a small patch of skin before applying it fully.

2. Trick-or-Treat in Groups

• Always trick-or-treat with a buddy or a group to prevent getting lost or separated.
• Stick to well-lit neighborhoods where lots of people are celebrating Halloween. This makes trick-or-treating safer and more enjoyable.
• Set a curfew for kids trick-or-treating without a grownup companion and make them commit to returning home on time.
• Make sure everyone in the group carries a working cell phone in case of emergencies. Have your kids promise to answer calls or text messages but not while walking or crossing the street. 

3. Inspect Candy

• Inspect all candies before eating. Discard anything that looks tampered with, such as opened wrappers. Similarly, check expiration dates if possible to weed out treats that are already unfit for consumption. 
• Skip homemade snacks from strangers and stick to sealed, pre-packaged treats.
• If your child has food allergies, check candy labels for allergens to ensure the treats are safe to consume.

4. Stay Visible While Walking

• Cross the street at crosswalks and look both ways before stepping off the curb.
• Keep your phone away while walking to stay alert. This helps you avoid dangerous obstacles like oncoming cars or uneven sidewalks.
• Wear brightly colored costumes or accessories to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. Don’t assume drivers can see you, especially if you wear a dark costume.
• Avoid walking in dark alleys or roads as it makes it harder for drivers to see you.

5. Keep Pets Indoors

• Halloween can be stressful for pets due to the constant noise and strange costumes. Keep them in a quiet, safe space.
• Keep candy and chocolate away from pets, as these are toxic to them.
• Ensure your pets have proper identification in case they get out due to fear or excitement.

6. Drive Safely

• Avoid driving in neighborhoods during trick-or-treating peak hours, typically between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM. During this time, children may suddenly run into the street so be extra cautious.
• Stay alert for kids running between parked cars, as they often don’t look before crossing.
• Turn on your headlights early to boost visibility as it gets darker.
• Avoid distractions like using your phone especially when driving in crowded areas.

7. Prepare Your Home

• Clear walkways of hazards like hoses, wet leaves, or decorations to prevent trick-or-treaters from tripping and falling. 
• Keep your porch well-lit to guide visitors and create a welcoming, festive vibe.
• Secure all decorations to prevent them from blowing away or causing accidents.
• Consider offering non-food treats for children with allergies, like small toys or glow sticks.

Celebrate Halloween Safely

Halloween should be a night of joy, laughter, and lasting memories. With a little caution, you can ensure the festivities remain fun and exciting without any unexpected mishaps. Plan safe routes, set ground rules for your kids, and make sure everyone knows what to do during an emergency. When Halloween safety is part of the plan, you’ll create moments everyone can cherish without worries!

Today’s journalists, much like trial lawyers, have a habit of cross-examining their subjects with the intent to find weaknesses rather than find the actual truth of a matter.  They also often ask questions already knowing what kind of answer they’re going to get.  It’s not about getting the answer, it’s about planting seeds.

For example, every time the media presents a “question” regarding alleged collusion between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin the goal is not to get an honest answer but to repeat the conspiracy theory as often as possible so that the accusation remains embedded in the collective consciousness.

This was once again the case at the recent BRICS Summit held in Kazan, Russia.  Asking tough questions is one thing – but presenting accusations without any evidence to back them is another.



The far-left media have been debunked at every turn when it comes to the Russiagate narrative.  Both Trump and Putin have denied any relationship and all the “evidence” that supposedly ties Trump to Putin has been exposed as fabricated.  After nearly a decade of intense scrutiny if there was any legitimate collusion between Trump and Russia it would have been found by now.

Putin quickly pointed out that inquiries by US officials have found no collusion involving Trump and that the claims are nonsense.  That should be the end of it, but again, the Western media is not interested in facts, they’re interested in narratives.

The establishment has also aimed its crosshairs at Elon Musk this week, with the Associated Press claiming an “anonymous source” confirmed to them that Musk has had regular phone calls with Vladimir Putin since 2022.  Again, none of this is supported by concrete evidence and the goal of the media is simply to plant the idea out there in the minds of the public as if it means something nefarious is afoot.

Musk is a private citizen, not a government official, and he has the right to talk to whoever he pleases.  It’s not surprising for an international businessman to have contact with world leaders for any number of reasons.  Not to mention, the US is not at war with Russia (officially), but the media is acting as if this is the case.

Putin talked extensively about the reasons for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, arguing that it was NATO involvement in sparking the Maidan Revolution in 2014 that led to Russia’s decision to go to war.  He also asserted that foreign military elements from NATO countries are heavily involved in Ukraine’s defensive efforts on the ground, stating that “we are aware” of what’s really going on.

The Russian leader seems to be suggesting here that if Ukraine can invite foreign assets into the war, then so can Russia.

As for the presence of North Korean troops in Russia, Putin doesn’t deny it.  Satellite images and some leaked videos seem to show North Korean soldiers in training areas near the eastern coast of Russia, but this is thousands of miles away from the Ukrainian front.  There is no evidence that North Koreans are currently fighting in Ukraine.  If this ends up being the intent, then yes, it would be considered an escalation by NATO, but not necessarily a rationale for NATO troops to enter the war.

Such a move would immediately trigger a world war; an outcome which the Ukrainians are certainly desperate for as their defensive lines collapse, but not an outcome that the majority of Americans and Europeans are willing to accept.

This article was originally published by John Leake via the “Courageous Discourse” substack

Ursula von der Leyen advocates “pre-bunking” in the public forum to “vaccinate” people against “disinformation”…

EU President Ursula von der Leyen just joined the ranks of former Senator John Kerry and other globalist ghouls in declaring war on free speech by perversely proclaiming that the EU citizenry needs to be “vaccinated against disinformation.”

Like every censor in history, she characterizes her censorship program as a means of expunging erroneous information and ideas from public discourse. By using the word “disinformation,” she implies that she and her clique are already the sole possessors of the truth about everything and that everyone who has and shares heterodox ideas is necessarily in error.

Her entire premise is FALSE for the following reasons:

1). Knowledge about the world is constantly evolving through constant inquiry, discussion, and dissemination. Knowledge is NOT a static thing. This is why countries with stifling censorship regimes have experienced intellectual, scientific, and artistic stagnation. Their rulers try to freeze the human mind in its state at their moment in history.

2). NO state, university, or ecclesiastical committee has ever been in possession of the full truth of any matter. Official orthodoxies have always been challenged by heterodox thinkers. Indeed, virtually every major advance in human insight has been performed by heterodox thinkers.

3). As John Milton observed in his 1644 pamphlet, Areopagitica, contending with error is an intrinsic part of learning and discovery. We literally learn by making mistakes and correcting them. If free speech is suppressed for the objective of preventing the propagation of erroneous thought—or “vaccinating against it”—it will become extremely difficult if not impossible for people to learn and discover.

4). Without a single exception in history, the people who hold power always advocate the orthodoxy that sustains and extends their power and that of their friends and supporters.

Ursula von der Leyen is the quintessence of this principle.

As president of the EU, she conducted secret negotiations with Pfizer CEO to purchase a 20 billion Euros of Pfizer’s fraudulent and dangerous vaccine so that it could be inflicted on all the citizens of the European Union.

She is currently under criminal investigation for her conduct in this affair that has come to be known as Pfizergate.

It takes a special kind of chutzpah for a powerful state official who is probably guilty of committing a major crime – a crime that has been systematically and ruthlessly concealed – to lecture the public about the need for censorship.

The time has come for the citizens of Europe to rid themselves of Ursula von der Leyen and her clique of corrupt tyrants.

To be sure, there is increasing evidence that the Biden Administration has been exerting pressure on Germany – which remains an American vassal state – and the EU to step up its censorship regime. I will cover this strange development in a subsequent post.

 

One of the main reasons why Americans are in such a foul mood right now is because the economy is in really bad shape and it just keeps getting worse.  This is very good news for the Trump campaign, because most Americans don’t want things to remain the same.  A desire for change is in the air, but our economy is unraveling so rapidly that it won’t be easy for anyone to turn things around.  We have built up a tremendous amount of momentum in the wrong direction, and it appears that the months ahead are not going to be pleasant.

Just look at what is happening to home sales.

Last month, sales of previously existing homes fell to the lowest level that we have seen since October 2010.

Of course in October 2010 we were dealing with the aftermath of a global financial crisis.

Overall, we are on pace “for the worst year since 1995” for sales of previously existing homes…

Sales of existing homes in the U.S. are on track for the worst year since 1995—for the second year in a row.

Persistently high home prices and elevated mortgage rates are keeping potential home buyers on the sidelines. Sales of previously owned homes in the first nine months of the year were lower than the same period last year, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

Existing-home sales in September fell 1% from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.84 million, NAR said, the lowest monthly rate since October 2010.

Let those numbers sink in for a moment.

We haven’t seen anything like this for a long time, and nobody can deny that the market for residential real estate is in a depressed state right now.

And it appears that this month could be even worse than last month, because the number of mortgage applications being submitted is absolutely plummeting…

Mortgage applications decreased 17% from one week earlier as mortgage rates surged, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) weekly application survey for the week ending October 11, 2024.

The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 17% on both a seasonally adjusted and an unadjusted basis from one week earlier.

Meanwhile, our nationwide commercial real estate crisis just continues to intensify.

If you can believe it, an office building in Manhattan that sold for 332 million dollars in 2006 just sold for 8.5 million dollars…

The sale of a nearly 1 million-square-foot Manhattan office building listed on the online auction site Ten-X was completed Tuesday for only $8.5 million.

That’s 97 percent less than the $332.5 million that the seller, Swiss bank UBS, paid for the Midtown property in 2006. The loss on the building at 135 West 50th Street was minimally offset by a $6 million gain UBS realized by buying and selling the ground beneath it in the interim.

UBS and its brokers at JLL listed the 920,000-square-foot building for sale on the online platform. The two-day auction kicked off July 30 with a starting bid of $7.5 million. The sale ended the next day after Ten-X lowered the reserve price. The winning bidder, whose identity has yet to hit property records, closed about 70 days later.

That is insane!

Commercial real estate prices have been crashing all over America, and this crisis is not getting the attention that it deserves from the media.

The banking industry is headed for big trouble as well.  In fact, the government shut down another bank on Friday…

Friday, The First National Bank of Lindsay was closed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) appointed as receiver. The OCC acted after identifying false and deceptive bank records and other information suggesting fraud that revealed depletion of the bank’s capital. The OCC also found that the bank was in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business and that the bank’s assets were less than its obligations to its creditors and others.

The OCC is referring the matter to the United States Department of Justice, which has a wide variety of tools to hold individuals accountable for criminal acts and focuses on victims in all of its matters.

Some experts are projecting that hundreds of more banks will soon fail.

If that actually happens, it will be a complete and utter nightmare.

The “restaurant apocalypse” that I have written about so much also continues to roll on.

Sadly, we just learned that Denny’s has decided to shut down 150 locations…

Denny’s is closing 150 restaurants over the next year, and the 71-year-old diner chain is mulling a major change to its 24/7 operating hours.

Fifty locations are set to close by the end of 2024, while the remaining 100 will shutter in 2025, Denny’s announced in an earnings call Tuesday. That amounts to a tenth of its restaurants, leaving 1,375 locations once completed. A specific list of closing restaurants weren’t immediately announced.

Needless to say, lots of other chains are slimming down as well.

Right now, thousands upon thousands of restaurants are being permanently closed from coast to coast.

If the economy was heading in the right direction, this would not be happening.

Speaking of closures, another major retailer has announced that it will be closing all stores…

Buybuy Baby is shuttering all of its stores roughly a year after new owners tried to revive the brand.

The company announced on its website that it is transitioning to an online-only model after recognizing the need for a “a strategic reset.”

“With this shift, we’ve come to the difficult decision of closing our physical stores by the end of this year,” the company wrote. “We understand this may be disappointing news, and we want all our customers to know this wasn’t a choice we took lightly.”

Most retailers that are experiencing difficulties will try to hang on until at least the end of December.

But once we get into 2025, expect a huge wave of new store closures.

As I discussed the other day, U.S. consumers are really hurting at the moment.

You can’t get blood out of a stone, and a staggering percentage of U.S. cardholders have already maxed out at least one credit card…

Nearly 2 in 5 cardholders (37%) have maxed out a credit card or come close since the Fed started raising interest rates, Bankrate’s Credit Utilization Survey found. That includes 20% who have maxed out a credit card and 17% who have come close to maxing one out.

This is what an imploding economy looks like.

Bubbles are bursting all around us, and the outlook for 2025 and beyond is absolutely horrible.

Our leaders kept the game going for a long time by injecting trillions of dollars into the system and by going into unprecedented amounts of debt.

But despite all of their efforts, the economy is coming apart at the seams anyway, and so I hope that you are prepared for a very hard landing.

The post On The Wrong Track: This Is What An Imploding Economy Looks Like appeared first on The Economic Collapse.

It is probably going to take months for authorities to identify all of the dead bodies from Hurricane Helene, and now Hurricane Milton could produce an even higher death toll.  More than 7 million people live in the 15 Florida counties where mandatory evacuation orders have been issued.  Many of those people evacuated in time, but many of them did not.  As you will see below, those that did not evacuate are being told to write their names and Social Security numbers on their legs so that they can be identified when their dead bodies are recovered.

It would be very difficult for me to overstate the power of this storm.

The size of Hurricane Milton’s wind field has more than doubled since Tuesday afternoon, and it is being reported that this storm could “forever change the Sunshine State’s coastline”…

Hurricane Milton is expected to be so ferocious, it will cover nearly every beach on Florida’s west coast — and forever change the Sunshine State’s coastline, experts have warned.

At least 95% of Florida’s west coast beaches are forecast to be inundated — or continuously covered by ocean water — when the hurricane, predicted to be one of the strongest ever, is expected to make landfall Wednesday as many still recover from Helene, the US Geological Survey.

“This is the most severe level of coastal change,” the federal agency warned — while saying that “Milton’s waves and surge” could cause “erosion and overwash” to 100% of the state’s beaches.

In some areas, the water will be twice as high as the average person.

Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert is warning residents in her city that what is coming is “not survivable”…

In response to the impending storm, officials have closed the bridges to the barrier islands, and Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert is urgently pleading with holdouts to evacuate. “You do not want to try and survive a 15-20 foot storm surge. It’s not survivable. It will be dangerous, there could be electrical wires in there,” Mayor Alpert warned.

Those that are wise evacuated way ahead of time.

Sadly, many of those that waited until the last minute to evacuate experienced tremendous difficulties.

On Wednesday morning, most of the gas stations in the Tampa Bay area were already completely out of gasoline…

As of Wednesday morning, three out of every five gas stations in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area is dry, according to data from Gas Buddy, a gas station location and savings app.

In other areas, the gasoline shortages were even worse.

Of course there are large numbers of local residents that never intended to evacuate at all.  The following comes from CNN…

Nearly 7.3 million Floridians live in 15 counties with mandatory evacuation orders. But even as officials kept begging people to leave coastal areas – “You need to help us by evacuating,” Tampa Fire Rescue’s chief pleaded Wednesday morning, adding, “I’ve never seen anything of this magnitude” – a subset of residents across Florida’s western edge were staying put.

I don’t understand why anyone would try to ride this storm out.

Shockingly, even some parents with very young children are staying behind.

A registered nurse named Ashley Khrais says that she will be riding out this storm with her 10-month-old son and her mother…

Khrais, a registered nurse, said that despite the severity of the coming storm, she’s eager to help other residents even worse off.

From what she’s seen and heard, there are likely to be many.

“It seems very, very scary, but there’s no way to leave,” Khrais said around midday Tuesday.

Faced with daunting traffic and seemingly no gas, she said she realized she was going to have to “hunker down” and try to ride out the storm with her 10-month-old son and mother.

I hope that they are not located near the coast.

The closer you are to the water, the more likely it is that you will die.

One Instagram influencer that lives right along the water in Sarasota tried to explain to her followers why she has purposely chosen to stay behind…

‘So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die! It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water, it’s zone A, mandatory evacuation,’ she said.

Calloway then attempted to explain why she didn’t get out of her home in time for the storm.

‘I can’t drive, first of all. Second of all, the airport is close. Third of all, the last time I evacuated for a hurricane, I went to my mom’s house in Northport for Hurricane Ian,’ she said.

She went on to explain that she didn’t want to go to her mother’s house this time around because she had such a horrible experience during Hurricane Ian.

Hopefully being extremely stubborn does not get her killed.

Another woman that has chosen to ride this storm out says that she feels safe because she lives on the fourth floor of her building…

“All my friends are mad at me from Ohio,” added Speckhart, a Cincinnati native. “They keep calling me, saying, ‘You’re gonna die.’ And then you got (Tampa Mayor) Jane Castor saying, ‘If you don’t get out, you’re gonna die.’

“But … if Tampa would get it, I mean, you figure, what are they gonna be, 12 to 15 feet? I mean, that could be two stories,” the fourth-floor-dweller said of the potential surge. Their building’s top floors are much higher than that, she went on, and some units have hurricane shutters and windows.

“My biggest thing is: I don’t want to leave,” Speckhart concluded. “I just see what happens in a week. You know, you got mold, you got damage. I figure I can be here.”

She is literally gambling with her life.

In the end, there will be a lot of dead bodies.

During an interview with CNN, Holmes Beach police chief William Tokajer made quite an ominous statement…

Holmes Beach police chief William Tokajer has warned stubborn residents who have refused to evacuate that ‘this is not going to end well’.

‘If you don’t leave, you’re on your own,’ he said in an interview with CNN. ‘Take a pen and write your name and social security number on your leg so that we have a contact if we find you.’

His remark echos that of Tampa Mayor Jane Castor who compares locals’ homes to their ‘coffin’.

What a thing to say.

But I can’t blame him for saying it.

In the aftermath of this storm, authorities will be trying to identify large numbers of victims very rapidly.

Many animals that have been left behind will also die in this storm.

In one case, a small dog was actually tied to a pole and left to die on the side of a major highway.

Thankfully, the small dog was rescued in time by a Florida police officer…

A Florida trooper rescued a small dog who was tied to a pole off a major highway in a pool of floodwater as Hurricane Milton begins to overwhelm the state.

An unidentified Florida Highway Patrolman was seen walking through a grassy area on the side of I-75 near Bruce B Downs Boulevard near Tampa to rescue the small white pup.

‘It’s OK, buddy, it’s OK,’ the officer could be heard saying as the dog tried to back away. ‘It’s OK, it’s OK!’

You have to be extremely evil to tie a dog to a pole and abandon it when a hurricane is about to hit.

As I discuss in my brand new book entitled “Why”, our world has literally been saturated with evil at this point.

The reason why so many people are doing such horrible things is because they have willingly chosen to embrace the darkness.

But no matter how hard they may try, they will never be able to outrun the consequences of their actions.

As for Hurricane Milton, those that made a choice to evacuate will live.

Sadly, many of those that made a choice to stay will not.

The post Hurricane Milton’s Wrath: “Take A Pen And Write Your Name And Social Security Number On Your Leg So That We Have A Contact If We Find You” appeared first on End Of The American Dream.

Okay, this is starting to get really weird.  At the same time that the Middle East is erupting in flames, the U.S. is being pummeled by major natural disasters and we are preparing for the most pivotal election in modern history, extremely unusual things are happening in the heavens.  The “Comet of the Century” is making a spectacular run past our planet, the Sun has unleashed an extremely powerful coronal mass ejection, a “second Moon” is now orbiting our world, and it is being suggested that we are witnessing an “intriguing alignment of constellations and stars” that appears to relate to events written in the Book of Revelation.  Are we really supposed to believe that it is just a “coincidence” that all of these things are occurring simultaneously?

According to ABC News, Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas will be closest to our planet on Saturday…

Prepare to spot a rare, bright comet.

The space rock is slinging toward Earth from the outer reaches of the solar system and will make its closest pass on Saturday. It should be visible through the end of October, clear skies permitting.

As I have discussed previously, something else will also be happening on Saturday.

Yom Kippur beings at sundown on Friday, and it lasts until sundown on Saturday.

Yeah, I suppose that is just another “coincidence” too.

The comet is about two miles wide, but NPR is reporting that the tail of the comet “extends for tens of millions of miles”…

A comet discovered last year — known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS — is set to make a close approach to Earth in the coming days.

The snowy dirtball is nearly 2 miles in diameter and its tail of dust and gasses extends for tens of millions of miles, Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, told NPR.

You will be able to view this comet with the naked eye, but if you have a pair of binoculars you will be able to see what is taking place in spectacular detail…

The comet will initially appear low on the western horizon in the glow of twilight about 45 minutes after sunset each day starting Saturday, Oct. 12, through the end of the month, Cooke said.

The comet can be seen without special equipment but the best view will be through a pair of binoculars.

“Comets look okay to the unaided eye, but with a pair of binoculars, they’ll knock your socks off,” Cooke said. “It’ll be really good in a pair of binoculars. So, if you got a pair of binoculars, why don’t you bring those along and take a look at the comet.”

Amazingly, this comet is making a run past our planet at the same time that something truly unique is happening among the stars.

The following comes from an article that was just authored by journalist Troy Anderson…

On the day I write this, Oct. 9, 2024, a particular video has caught my attention. It explores an intriguing alignment of constellations and stars, drawing parallels to the descriptions found in the book of Revelation.

According to the video, this date may involve a celestial event that mirrors what the apostle John described in his prophetic vision on the Isle of Patmos nearly 2,000 years ago.

Many have written books about how the stars literally foreshadowed the birth of Christ over 2,000 years ago.

Could it be possible that God is using the stars to warn us about what is coming in our time?

According to Anderson, “a rare alignment of planets and stars” appears to depict “the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the great red dragon”…

The video suggests that on Oct. 9, there will be a rare alignment of planets and stars that matches descriptions from the book of Revelation, including the symbolism of the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the great red dragon. If these interpretations hold any weight, then this date might represent a significant marker in the prophetic timeline. As a journalist and researcher of biblical prophecy, I find it worth exploring whether such signs could indeed be an indication of the times we’re living in, especially following the Great North American Eclipse on April 8, 2024, which I wrote about in an article for Charisma.

I am so glad that he linked what is happening now with the eclipse that happened on April 8th.

Because I am entirely convinced that they are very closely related.

Meanwhile, the Sun continues to behave very erratically.

We are being told that a “fast-moving coronal mass ejection” was unleashed on Tuesday night, and that caused NOAA’s Space Prediction Center to issue a G4 geomagnetic storm watch…

A “severe” solar storm could make the northern lights visible in the U.S. farther south than usual while also posing the potential to disrupt modern technology, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) — a powerful burst of magnetized plasma from the sun’s corona — erupted from the sun on Tuesday night, prompting NOAA’s Space Prediction Center to issue a rare G4 geomagnetic storm watch, indicating “detrimental impacts” to critical technology and possible widespread voltage control problems, according to NOAA.

The CME is expected to cause a moderate solar storm here on Earth on Thursday and Friday, according to NOAA.

On top of everything else, our planet has now acquired a second Moon.

That’s right.

For a little while, a “temporary mini-moon” will be orbiting our planet…

Over the past few weeks, you’ve probably heard somewhere that Earth was going to get a second moon. Well, we can now confirm that Earth now officially has two moons after capturing asteroid 2024 PT5.

On Sunday, September 29, our planet captured the tiny asteroid named 2024 PT5, turning it into a temporary mini-moon.

Needless to say, the vast majority of the population is paying very little attention to what is going on in the heavens.

And hardly anyone believes that the very strange things that are taking place in the sky have any real significance.

But as I have documented, in Genesis chapter 1 God told us that one of the primary reasons why He created the Sun, Moon and stars was because He planed to use them as “signs”, and He has been doing that all throughout human history.

Now it is happening again, and most people are completely missing it.

The post Very Strange Things Are Happening In The Sky appeared first on End Of The American Dream.

Do you want to live in a society where you are required to have your face scanned wherever you go?  If not, you may want to speak up now while you still can.  As you will see below, the U.S. government is aggressively expanding the use of facial recognition technology for identification verification purposes.  For now, the use of facial recognition technology will be optional.  But as we have seen before, once a voluntary option is adopted by enough people our leaders have a way of making it mandatory.  Of course it isn’t just our government that is pushing facial recognition technology.  It is popping up throughout our society, and given enough time it would literally be everywhere.

Login.gov is billed as “a single sign-on solution for US government websites”, and now users of Login.gov will be given the option to use facial recognition technology to verify their identities…

An online hub for Americans to access benefits and services across the federal government is giving its users a new option to sign on.

The General Services Administration will begin offering facial recognition technology as an option for users of Login.gov, a one-stop for government-provided public services, to verify their identities.

GSA’s Technology Transformation Services announced Wednesday it will allow Login.gov users to verify their identity online through facial technology that meets standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 800-63-3 Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) guidelines.

We are being told that this will help reduce identity theft and fraud, and I don’t know anyone that likes identity theft and fraud.

But do we really want to live in a dystopian world where our faces are constantly being scanned all the time?

I certainly don’t.

We are being told that this new facial recognition system will rely on “best-in-class facial matching algorithms”…

After months of testing and a delay in 2023, users will now be able to verify their identity using a ‘proven facial matching technology’ approved by the General Services Administration, which will follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and will rely on ‘best-in-class facial matching algorithms’

All of this sounds really creepy to me.

And this is certainly a way for the government to start getting all of our faces into a giant database.

Login.gov already has more than 100 million users, and lots of them will inevitably choose the “convenience” and “security” of facial recognition…

Federal agencies use Login.gov for people to verify their identities when logging in to access government benefits and services. The offering has over 100 million users already across over 50 federal and state agencies, and this news could affect how future users have to verify their identity to access information and benefits.

“Proving your identity is a critical step in receiving many government benefits and services, and we want to ensure we are making that as easy and secure as possible for members of the public, while protecting against identity theft and fraud,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan in a statement.

For now, you will still be able to use other identification verification options.

But once most people start using facial recognition, those other options could easily be taken away.

Sadly, it isn’t just the government that we need to be concerned about.

AI programs such as ChatGPT have turned out to be quite adept at identifying faces…

Using “a crafted prompt designed to bypass the safeguard mechanisms of ChatGPT,” the researchers were able to test the program’s biometric capabilities – which they found to be significant.

“Our study reveals that ChatGPT recognizes facial identities and differentiates between two facial images with considerable accuracy,” says their summary. “Additionally, experimental results demonstrate remarkable performance in gender detection and reasonable accuracy for the age estimation tasks.”

Even more alarming is what a couple of Harvard students have been able to accomplish.

They integrated PimEyes facial recognition software into a pair of Meta’s smart glasses, and they were able to instantly pull up the personal information of strangers by scanning their faces…

Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses offer an iconic wearable packed with some smart features that allow users to engage in a hands-free experience. Two Harvard students have integrated smart glasses with a facial recognition system that helps automatically dox strangers and access their information in public.

According to 404media, the facial recognition system called I-XRAY can be used to retrieve information such as phone numbers, addresses, or even social security numbers of strangers. All the user needs to do is look at the person. While software capabilities have been making the rounds, it is the hardware running the software that has been the talk of the town, which is Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.

Nguyen and Ardayfio created I-XRAY using Meta’s smart glasses along with PimEyes facial recognition software, which is currently the largest search engine. The entire system of fetching information on the individual is automatic, and the smart glasses start digging the data as soon as the face is in the frame.

If we stay on the current trajectory that we are on, it would likely only be a matter of time before this sort of technology is everywhere.

Can you imagine what criminals could do with this?

A predator would not even need to follow you home.  He could just scan your face without you even realizing it, and by scanning your face he could get your address, your phone number, and a whole host of other private details about your life.

A lot of people out there just don’t get it.

In a society without any privacy, the bad guys can always find you.

Of course in a society without any privacy, there would be no hiding from tyranny either.

When facial recognition technology is literally everywhere, there will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Every time your face is scanned, your location will be known.

Needless to say, most people already carry around phones that constantly monitor where they are anyway.

But as the Big Brother surveillance grid that is being constructed all around us becomes even more pervasive, it won’t be too long before there is literally no opting out.

I have been a very vocal advocate for privacy for over a decade, but during that time our privacy rights have been greatly eroded.

Now is the time to take a stand, because once our privacy rights are completely gone it will be nearly impossible to get them back.

The post The U.S. Government Is Dramatically Expanding The Use Of Facial Recognition Technology appeared first on The Economic Collapse.

What we are witnessing in the mountains of North Carolina says a lot about where we are as a nation.  The federal response to Hurricane Helene has been absolutely abysmal, and hardly anyone is really surprised by this because the federal government can’t seem to do anything right these days.  But the good news is that help is getting to the people that need it.  That help is being provided by teams of patriots that are working around the clock to get food, generators and supplies where they need to be.  In many cases, life-saving assistance is arriving just in time.  I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if everyone had just sat back and waited for the federal government to come riding to the rescue.

According to the New York Post, a massive rescue and supply operation that has enlisted the help of “hundreds of special operations personnel” is being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership…

Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.

The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision.

“Who’s FEMA?” ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency’s presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state.

When is the last time that you saw the phrases “ruthless efficiency” and “military precision” used to describe an operation being run by the federal government?

While FEMA fumbles the ball, these men are stepping up and getting the job done.

It is being reported that they have put together a fleet of 35 helicopters…

This Harley-Davidson dealership has become a forward operating base, complete with a fleet of 35 helicopters that have flown hundreds of rescue, reconnaissance and resupply sorties.

Organizers were calling the effort the “Savage Freedoms Relief Operation,” but Smith says they’ve proudly adopted an alternate moniker — “the Redneck Air Force.”

The dealership teems with current and former soldiers decked out in camo pants and army boots with handguns strapped to their chests and hips. Crop duster pilots, helicopter tour guides and special operations pilots — most of them off-duty or retired military — have answered the call from Smith and others in North Carolina’s extensive military community.

I was so encouraged to hear about what they are doing.

Of course they aren’t the only ones that have stepped up to the plate.

Dr. Phil McGraw says that Samaritan’s Purse is doing an absolutely amazing job of getting desperately needed aid to victims of the storm…

Dr. Phil McGraw praised the work that Franklin Graham’s relief organization Samaritan’s Purse is doing to help the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

It is putting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s work to shame.

“Let me tell you, these [Samaritan’s Purse] guys don’t have meetings to fill out forms to plan a meeting to get something going. They have verbs in their sentences. They have springs in their step, and they’re out making things happen,” McGraw said.

“FEMA, all these other people are talking, thinking. No, not Samaritan’s Purse. They’re out doing things,” he added.

A video of Dr. Phil discussing what Samaritan’s Purse has been doing has been getting a lot of attention.

Over the years, Samaritan’s Purse has helped millions of people all over the globe when disaster has struck, and once again they are showing why they are so highly regarded.

Why can’t our federal government be more like Samaritan’s Purse?

According to one patriot that is involved in private relief efforts in a very remote part of North Carolina, the only government donation that has shown up in his area so far are pallets of electric chainsaws…

We are on the mountaintop in Little Switzerland collecting airlifted donations and distributing them to homes that have no power or are inaccessible. The community is self organizing incredibly well

This is the only federal government response I’ve seen so far. Almost all the pallets we have received are donations coming in from citizens and orgs.
Feds usually don’t come this far up into the mountains

This has been the government donation: pallets of electric chainsaws to communities that have no power

There are a lot of homes and communities that still don’t have power, cell service, or water. There are teams going out to these communities, and are still finding people who haven’t yet made contact since the storm.

Our little project involves receiving airlifted donations and distributing them both to the ATV teams, as well as directly to houses we can access via road.

The electric chainsaws would help if there was actually power in the region.

But for communities that have no power, electric chainsaws are essentially worthless right now.

FEMA gets a ton of funding, but I don’t know what they are doing with it.

According to the New York Times, only 1,217 FEMA employees are “available to respond to Hurricane Milton and other disasters as of Monday”…

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is currently stretched thin on manpower even as an incoming category 5 hurricane moves toward the U.S.

Just 1,217 FEMA workers, which is less than 10% of their personnel, were available to respond to Hurricane Milton and other disasters as of Monday, according to The New York Times.

It appears that Hurricane Milton could be one of the most destructive hurricanes in the entire history of our nation.

Will the federal response to Hurricane Milton be as pathetic as the federal response to Hurricane Helene was?

I have been watching so many videos that have absolutely horrified me.

There have even been instances where the feds appear to be doing far more harm than good.

In one case, a mysterious helicopter was actually “caught on video destroying a volunteer donation site for hurricane victims”…

An unmarked military-style helicopter was caught on video destroying a volunteer donation site for hurricane victims in Burnsville, North Carolina on Sunday.

The helicopter was seen swooping in low over the distribution staging area and performing a “rotor-wash” maneuver that used the powerful downward gust forces to blow away supplies and canopy tents.

One of the individuals who recorded the incident claimed the area was established as a “no fly no drop” zone, and claimed the “ghost” helicopter pilots wore masks, suggesting they were special forces or government contractors.

“They could clearly see the supply setup, blue tents etc and see this was NOT a clear landing zone,” they captioned in the video.

In the old days, our government could be counted on to exhibit at least a minimal level of competence.

Sadly, those days are long gone.

When everything hits the fan, don’t count on the government to save you.

During the very difficult times that are approaching, local communities will have to be united and we are all going to have to learn to work together, because there is no other option.
