Have you seen the cataclysmic images that are coming out of Iceland? I wrote about the tremendous shaking that is taking place in Iceland a few days ago, but things have gotten so much worse since then. At this point, a giant “chasm” is literally running through the center of the town of Grindavik. And in Italy, Mount Etna is putting on a spectacular fireworks show for us right now.
Of course, most Americans don’t care about any of this because these disasters are happening on the other side of the world. But they should care about these disasters because the same geophysical forces that are causing them will inevitably cause major seismic events in our nation too.
As I write this article, authorities in Iceland are bracing for the possibility of an absolutely massive eruption, because the “tunnel of magma” that is running directly under the town of Grindavik is rapidly getting much closer to the surface…
According to experts, the chance of a volcanic eruption posing a threat to the now-evacuated town has risen substantially since Saturday.
The tunnel of magma running under the town and its neighbouring areas was measured to be at a depth of 800m, a rapid incline compared to the depth of 1500m that had been measured earlier in the day.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said there was a considerable risk of an eruption, given the size of the magma intrusion underground as well as the rate at which it was moving. Moving magma shifts plates, causing earthquakes.
As the magma speeds along underground, it creates seismic activity, and it is being reported that there have been more than 700 earthquakes just since yesterday…
Iceland ‘is on edge’ as experts say earthquakes that have been rumbling beneath the surface for days and have torn through a town are a precursor to a volcanic eruption.
More than 700 quakes have been recorded in the south-western Reykjanes Peninsula since yesterday, and despite them being slightly weaker than in previous days the Fagradalsfjall volcano is still expected to erupt.
Iceland has been shaken by thousands of tremors over the past few days, with a state of emergency declared on Friday and around 4,000 people ordered to leave the fishing community of Grindavik.
Local residents can literally hear “unholy sounds” underneath their feet, and now a giant “chasm” has literally opened up right in the center of town…
Evacuated residents have reported hearing ‘unholy sounds’ from beneath the ground as they fled, while those allowed to return to collect belongings from their deserted homes were told: ‘If you hear sirens, drop everything and get out!’
Sinkholes have opened up around the town, and now aerial footage captured by the Coast Guard shows a chasm running through the centre, with smoke pouring out of the gaping splits as magma rises.
In all my years, I have never seen anything quite like this.
Honestly, this looks like something that was pulled directly out of a Hollywood disaster movie.
Meanwhile, Mount Etna has decided to go kind of nuts.
On Sunday it sent volcanic ash thousands of feet into the air, and the enormous lava fountain coming out of the volcano is absolutely mesmerizing…
The Mount Etna volcano began erupting again on the island of Sicily Sunday, sending ash miles into the sky and raining down on Catania.
Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said the eruption began on Sunday, sending a lava fountain into the air. The eruptive column is estimated to be more than 14,700 feet above sea level.
Since early October, Etna has been showing signs of eruptive activity in the southeast crater, according to INGV. Activity began increasing in the past few days, with explosions occurring every second before the volcano erupted again.
It can be fun to watch the lava erupt, but we need to remember that this red-hot material comes from areas inside our planet that are extremely unstable.
In recent years, we have seen unusual seismic activity suddenly make news again and again and again.
Dozens of volcanoes are erupting right now, and each new day thousands of earthquakes rattle our planet.
Many of the scientific experts continue to assure us that all of this is perfectly “normal”.
But people like me insist that all of this seismic activity is part of the end times scenario that we have been anticipating.
If people like me are right, our planet is going to continue to become even more unstable, and that will cause unprecedented natural disasters during the months and years that are ahead of us.

It isn’t just your imagination. We really are witnessing a full-blown societal meltdown. Earlier today, a song entitled “We Don’t Need Another Hero” popped into my head. Of course that song was recorded by Tina Turner for a 1985 film called “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” which featured Mel Gibson in his prime. I hadn’t thought about that song for many years, and so I pulled it up on YouTube and listened to it. Needless to say, it really is a great song. But why would I be thinking about it today? There had to be another reason. I started going through the news, and I quickly realized what that reason was. In the United States today, there are millions upon millions of people that are completely and utterly lawless. We really have become a “Mad Max society”, and the future of our country is going to be exceedingly bleak if we continue going down this road.
I could provide countless examples to prove my point, but for this article I have selected just 10.
The following are 10 examples from 10 different cities of the “Mad Max” environment that now reigns in America’s streets…
#1 Theft has become so rampant in Washington D.C. that CVS has replaced toilet paper and paper towels with “framed photos” of those products and a buzzer that customers must press to buy them…
Witness a CVS store in our nation’s capital, forced by rampant, serial theft to pull toilet paper and paper towels from the shelves, replacing them with framed photos of the missing products and a buzzer.
Customers trying to buy Charmin or Bounty must buzz to summon a clerk, who will (eventually) retrieve the precious commodity from a back room.
In other words, the capital of the most powerful nation in human history has been reduced to Third World-style security systems to sell basic goods.
#2 An axe-wielding carjacker in downtown St. Louis was shocked when one potential victim that he approached decided to pray…
A St. Louis man did something unexpected when he found himself in a dangerous situation on October 18.
Police say his decision to pray and not let fear overtake him resulted in an axe-wielding suspect leaving him alone after an attempted carjacking in the city’s downtown area on North Seventh Street, KMOV reported Sunday.
The suspect, identified as Romel S. Taylor, 37, was charged with first-degree attempted robbery and felony robbery regarding two unrelated incidents.
#3 Four criminals wearing black ski masks recently robbed a jewelry dealer right in the middle of a highway in Los Angeles…
The driver who was robbed by a group of thieves last month after they crashed into his car on the 10 Freeway was a jewelry dealer from Hong Kong, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Four men in black ski masks driving a black Dodge Caravan crashed into a black Alfa Romeo about 1:30 p.m. Oct. 24, disabling the car on the eastbound 10 Freeway, near Arlington Avenue, CHP investigators said in a news release. A Ford Mustang was also hit during the crash.
#4 Unconscious addicts are “sprawled across the road for hundreds of yards” every single morning in downtown San Francisco…
Tiktoker ‘Freqmeek’ captured the pre-dawn horror as she gingerly picked her way through dozens of desperate addicts in the city’s Tenderloin district.
Some are hunched against the cold while others are too intoxicated to care as cars and buses try to steer a path through unconscious addicts sprawled across the road for hundreds of yards.
‘The anxiety we experience just traveling to work daily in the Tenderloin is unbelievable,’ she wrote.
#5 In Oakland, a district attorney that got elected with the help of George Soros just had a laptop stolen from her own vehicle…
How bad is the crime and theft problem in Oakland, California? So bad the Soros backed DA just got her laptop stolen from her car while she attended a community meeting.
She called the police to report the theft and no one showed up, so she was forced to file a report online.
Pamela Price is facing a recall election specifically over this issue.
#6 How bad is crime in Dallas? Well, it turns out that retail theft in the city was up 73 percent through the first six months of 2023…
The shopping experience in Dallas is starting to change as retail theft increased 73% through the first six months of this year, according to a report released Tuesday.
Dallas and Los Angeles, where shoplifting increased 109%, experienced the highest reported retail theft in the first half of this year, according to an analysis of 24 major cities by the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice.
#7 In Miami, MMA fighter Javier Baez had to fight for his life after a knife-wielding maniac started attacking him in the parking lot of his apartment complex…
A former MMA fighter used his combat skills to open a can of whoop-ass on a knife-wielding assailant in self-defense… and the dramatic scene was caught on video.
Javier Baez drove back to his Miami apartment complex after a night out on Halloween … and spotted Omar Marrero screaming and brandishing a knife in the parking lot, according to WPLG News.
After Baez parked his car, Marrero reportedly walked over and started hitting his window with the knife.
#8 It is being alleged that a 16-year-old girl in Gordon, Nebraska slit the throat of her newborn baby and stuffed the dead body into a bag of dog food…
A teenage girl in Nebraska has been accused of slitting her newborn baby’s throat and cramming the body into a bag of dog food. She has been charged with first-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon.
The Star Herald reported that the unidentified teen girl had been charged after the authorities were called to the girl’s home in Gordon, Nebraska, on November 6, after being told that a girl had given birth and that the baby was not breathing.
#9 In Chicago, conditions have gotten so bad that immigrants are fleeing the city in large numbers, and one even declared that “the American Dream doesn’t exist anymore”…
Michael Castejon, 39, an immigrant who came here with his family told the Chicago Tribune that because he was unable to afford rent and unable to get his work permit he was taking his family back to Venezuela.
“The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore. There’s nothing here for us,” he said. “How many more months of living in the streets will it take? No, no more. It’s better that I leave. At least I have my mother back home.”
“We just want to be home. If we’re going to be sleeping in the streets here, we’d rather be sleeping in the streets over there,” Castejon added.
The report notes that at one station over 40 people have left to either move home or to a different city within the US.
#10 I couldn’t do an article like this and leave out New York City. The Big Apple is being overwhelmed by so many immigrants that Mayor Eric Adams is considering handing out tents and allowing them to camp in “parks and other outdoor spaces”…
New York City officials have discussed distributing tents to newly arriving migrants and creating encampments in parks and other outdoor spaces, according to people familiar with deliberations among Mayor Eric Adams and his top advisers.
This is our country now.
We have truly become a lawless nation, and there is no indication that we are going to turn things around any time soon.

December 7, 1941, is a date that will always be remembered as one that tested our country’s mettle. In the three-and-a-half years that followed, Americans cemented their place in the world as a leader, liberator and compassionate ally. Beyond that, our country flexed its industrial might producing unimaginable amounts of war materials, faster and in numbers that our enemies could have never predicted.
World War 2 Remembered Through Auto-Ordnance Commemoratives
Japan had awakened a sleeping giant and vastly underestimated the will and resourcefulness of their chosen enemy. The generation that had lived through a devastating depression and were used to getting by with less were ready to sacrifice even more. The attack on Pearl Harbor united our country like no other event.
“Providing you can make the teams you’ll practice and work out all day. The evenings will be yours. A lot of guys take night classes at nearby San Diego State University,” said the recruiter. It sounded like Heaven to Detty. Play sports for the Marines and get a college education and get paid to do it.
For a kid from a small farming town in Northwest Kansas, this would be his ticket out. In 1939 there weren’t a lot of job opportunities, and my dad, G.E. “Moose” Detty, craved excitement, travel and adventure. The Marine recruiter in Denver hadn’t lied to him. After boot camp Detty made the Marine Recruit Depot boxing and football teams and even took some night classes at San Diego State. But when the winds of war started to blow Detty was transferred first to Hawaii and then on to Midway.
Dec. 7 & the Battle of Midway
He’d be there for the attack on December 7th, 1941 and also for the larger battle six months later. Commander of “Dog Battery”, a 3-inch anti-aircraft unit, Detty turned his sights on two Japanese destroyers that sailed into range on December 7th. “We could see troops lined up along the railing. There was no doubt they were going to invade Midway. We started slamming shells into the ships as fast as we could fire. After bombarding and strafing the island they were not expecting that level of resistance and sailed away.”
A young Marine Sergeant assigned to the Sixth Defense Battalion on Midway Island was supervising his crew repack the gear work of his 3-inch anti-aircraft gun with grease on December 8th, 1941. “Dog” battery had engaged countless Zeroes, and when Japanese destroyers steamed into range, they started slamming rounds non-stop into them. The 3-inch guns’ grease had liquified and run from the elevation and windage gears. Not only had the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on this day, but they also laid down a barrage on Midway and Sand islands, strafed and had intended to land troops until steady and accurate fire dissuaded them. They had underestimated the resolve of the Marines, and the two Japanese destroyers turned tail, abandoning their invasion. Several men were lost in the December 7th attack on Midway, but it could have been much worse.
A World at War
Over 3,500 miles away, in San Diego, a 16-year-old high school sophomore had her older brothers help her assemble a rabbit hutch to supplement the family meals when meat was rationed. Weekends often involved her and her friends from the school flag team pulling wagons through their neighborhood collecting scrap tin, rubber, brass and even silk. Everyone pitched in with the common goal of defeating the evil of axis.
Sergeant Detty was still on Midway for the second, larger naval battle in early June 1942. Historians agree that Japan never recovered from the losses suffered in this battle. Most of the troops had been on the island for over a year. They were recalled to Hawaii and the 2nd Marine Division was reconstituted, reequipped and reinforced for future island-hopping campaigns. Detty turned in his old doughboy helmet for the new GI steel pot and traded his Springfield ’03 rifle for a brand-new M-1 Carbine. Not long after returning to Hawaii Detty received orders for a week of leave at his home in Goodland, Kansas before traveling on to Quantico, Virginia for a two-month Warrant Officer class. When he returned to Hawaii, he was a Commissioned Warrant Officer–a rank that usually required years and years of Marine service.
Return to the Pacific Theater
Once back in the Pacific theater, CWO Detty was given a new assignment as a Joint Assault and Signal Corps (JASCO) unit leader. His new job required him to land in the first wave of beach assaults, pinpoint strategic targets and direct Naval and aircraft fire onto them. In addition to the M1 Carbine he was now issued a 1911A1 .45 that he carried in a chest rig that positioned the gun over his heart. Guadalcanal was mostly secure by the time he returned to theater, but it served as the perfect training ground for future island invasions.
In San Diego, the young girl graduated high school a year early and started taking classes at nearby San Diego State college. Both of her brothers were officers in the Army Air Corps and were stationed overseas. In her spare time, she helped out at her father’s medical practice and also at her mother’s drug store.
Tarawa
CWO Detty made it through the Tarawa invasion relatively unscathed, though it was costly in terms of Marine casualties and devastating to the Japanese. Nearly all of the 4,500 enemy soldiers were killed in the four-day operation. Suicidal nighttime banzai charges were costly yet repulsed by well-entrenched Leathernecks. “Bodies stacked up like cordwood around our fighting holes,” the elder Detty once told me. “If my carbine ran dry, I’d fire my pistol and throw grenades. Lulls between the charges gave us a chance to reload and get ready for the next wave.”
Tarawa was a tough one, Detty admitted. “To see the bodies of my friends bobbing in the surf was a sight that’s never left me. I’ll never forget the smell and the noise. It was hell on earth!” After the invasion was completed, every Marine passed through the makeshift cemetery to see the names of fellow warriors lost in that battle before re-boarding the transport ships. “It was overwhelming,” he once said.
Wounded in Combat
Detty’s luck ran out on Saipan. On the third day of the invasion, while directing Naval gunfire from a destroyer’s 8-inch guns, the concussion from an enemy shell burst knocked him from the smokestack of a sugar beet refinery. The coconut trees that broke his fall also broke his back but saved his life. The war was over for Detty, and he’d eventually be evacuated to the Great Lakes Naval Hospital in Chicago where he’d spend nine months in a body cast. He’d still be there on V-J Day (September 2, 1945) and later recounted that he put aside his feelings of guilt for not being with his buddies on Tinian and Okinawa and replaced them with a fondness for clean sheets and pretty nurses.
Throughout his Pacific actions Detty continued his college education via correspondence courses, when mail caught up to him. After Saipan his hospital convalescence allowed him to rack up college credits. After his discharge in 1946, one of his doctors opined that Oregon’s climate might be just the ticket to help recurrent bouts of malaria. Detty graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in physical therapy and became a licensed physical therapist.
Soldiering On
Alone and without a family, Detty was able to follow his dreams. He was re-enlisted, this time into the Army, and helped coach the All Army boxing team prior to the 1948 Olympic trials. At one point in time, he was on the old Chicago Cardinals football team taxi squad. When he ran out of money, he’d find a prize fight somewhere. Being involved with sports is what made him happy, and in 1950 he found his dream job at the Naval Training Center in San Diego. Detty was hired as a boxing coach and athletic trainer. In 1952, one of his boxers, Ed Sanders, became the first black American to win an Olympic Gold medal in the Heavyweight division.
But his luckiest achievement while at the Naval Training Center happened while walking home to his apartment one day. He caught the eye of a pretty brunette working the lunch counter of her mother’s drug store. She’d later say, “He made a habit of stopping by for a free cup of old coffee and conversation.” Mom didn’t mind as she was a huge sports fan and loved to hear his stories. The two were married after a short courtship and started their family that would eventually include four children.
Detty in the NFL
In 1962 Detty would be hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as their Head Athletic Trainer. It was a tough job, and he’d often get home after the kids were asleep and leave in the morning before they got up for school. He’d make up for it though in the off-season by taking the kids pheasant hunting and fishing.
Detty was recognized by the NFL Hall of Fame for his injury treatment and rehabilitation protocols. Always an innovator, he designed several pieces of equipment that are still found in training rooms. Using scraps of neoprene from a wet suit manufacturer and his wife’s old sewing machine, he invented the world’s first neoprene sports medicine brace. Years and many patents later he’d leave the Eagles to run his own company that manufactured neoprene sports braces. At one time he employed all of his four children.
Life turned out pretty special for the young kid from Goodland, Kansas, and he often credited the Marine Corps years for testing his mettle and shaping his “never quit” attitude. Through it all he never once felt sorry for himself or believed that he was owed anything for his service. That seems to be a common thread with folks from the Greatest Generation! God bless them all!
Auto Ordnance Commemoratives: 1911PKZ and M1 Carbine
Before the war started US Army Ordnance sent out a request for a carbine to be used by support staff and officers that would increase the hit probability over that of a handgun and have an effective range out to 300 meters. The weapon should weigh no more than 5 pounds and be semi-automatic in operation. Winchester ballisticians developed the .30 Carbine cartridge before a weapon had even been designed to shoot it. Though several companies submitted prototypes for consideration, it was a rifle developed by Winchester, using David “Carbine” Williams’ floating gas piston that was selected. Standardization of the M1 Carbine was approved just si weeks before the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Midway islands. Production began in August 1941 and ran to August 1945, accounting for over 6 million rifles.
From the carbine’s 18-inch barrel, the 110-grain FMJ bullet develops approximately 1,990 feet-per-second velocity and generates about 967 foot-pounds of energy. That’s roughly twice the energy of a 230-grain FMJ .45 ACP round leaving the Thompson sub-machinegun’s 10.5-inch barrel. The M1 carbine weighs half of what the Thompson did, and the cartridges themselves weighed half also. M1 carbines were initially issued with 15-round magazines.
Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine
Auto-Ordnance is now manufacturing beautiful facsimiles of the M1 Carbine. It should be noted that while there were originally 10 different companies that produced carbines during the war years, Auto-Ordnance was not one of them. New rifles produced today include zero surplus parts. Each and every component of the gun is of new manufacture, and the result is an aesthetically exquisite and handy carbine capable of excellent accuracy and is sure to appeal to every martial arms collector!
My test sample sports a beautiful walnut stock with what collectors call the “low wood” design and it has an oval, rather than “I” cut for the sling and oiler. The stock appears to be the happy medium between a “straight” stock and the “pot belly” variety.
Its handguard is the earlier two-rivet model, and the Auto-Ordnance M1 also has the early style, flat-top bolt. The safety is also the early style which pushed right to left to go off “safe,” like a cross-bolt safety on a hunting shotgun.
Authentic Sights & Barrel Band
The gun has the original flip-style rear sight with two apertures, one for 100 yards and the other for 300 yards. It has the early-style, Type 2-barrel band with sling swivel and Auto-Ordnance parkerizes the metal parts a matte, non-reflective black.
Trigger pull on my test sample registered at 6.5 pounds, exactly what you’d expect for a military long gun. There’s some creep in the take-up and some overtravel, but it is predictable and serviceable. Because of my range limitations I was forced to bench the test gun at 50-yards and used the issue iron sights. All groups were fired from a seated rest using a DOA Tactical portable shooting bench and a Caldwell rifle rest for support. Five shots were fired for each group and three groups were fired with each load. The best group is listed in the accuracy table.

You can see that the Auto-Ordnance carbine has plenty of inherent accuracy. My test rifle shot to point-of-aim and ran well with every ammunition I tried. There’s just something fun about shooting a five-and-a-half-pound centerfire rifle! I was able to fire some very quick double taps with the Auto Ordnance carbine and found it to be a quick handling weapon. Its recoil is negligible but, like I mentioned earlier, the .30 Carbine round generates twice the amount of energy than a .45 ACP round from a 10.5-inch barrel. Stoked with the right loads it is a perfect ranch/ATV gun that should handle every chore it is tasked with.
Even without a sling it carries like a dream and one-handed carry is effortless. The M1 Carbine doesn’t have the intimidating looks of an AR-15, and in that respect might even make sense for a patrol carbine for a law enforcement officer or natural resources agents in areas where political correctness trumps common sense.

Auto-Ordnance 1911A1
Designed by John Moses Browning, the 1911 pistol was adopted ahead of the first world war and saw its first action with the military with Black Jack Pershing’s punitive expedition into Mexico in 1916 in pursuit of Pancho Villa. It developed a formidable reputation for reliability and fight stopping in the muddy European trenches during WWI. In 1926 the pistol was re-branded the M1911A1 and outfitted with shorter triggers, relief cuts in the frame, an arched mainspring housing, longer grip safety tang and shorter hammer spur.
These changes were made in an attempt to help those with smaller hands shoot the gun better and prevent “hammer-bite” where the web of the hand is pinched between the grip safety tang and the rear of the hammer. In all, over 2.7 million 1911 pistols were manufactured in its service life which stretched from 1911 to 1985 when officially replaced by the Beretta M9 pistol. But I can guarantee you that you’ll still find 1911s in the armories of our most elite military units.
During the rush to arm American troops during WWII several different manufacturers, including Colt, Remington-Rand, Ithaca Gun Company, Union Switch & Signal and, believe it or not, Singer (the sewing machine manufacturer) produced M1911A1s. While these war-time 1911s are collectible and expensive, Auto-Ordnance is producing their version of the historic “Ol’ Slabsides” pistol with some modern updates.
Military Look & Feel
Externally the Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 looks very much like its military counterpart. It sports a very utilitarian matte black finish and brown plastic grips just like the WWII gun. Its all-steel construction will give veterans and re-enactors that old familiar feeling, but Auto-Ordnance has outfitted their pistol with a Series 80-style firing pin safety designed to prevent an inertia firing of the gun if dropped on its muzzle. This passive safety places a mechanical block to the firing pin unless pressure is placed on the trigger.
Auto-Ordnance also uses a slightly elongated thumb safety that allows the shooter to more easily engage and disengage it. It is not technically correct for this period weapon but a very nice update for anyone who would want to use this pistol for defensive carry. For that same reason Auto-Ordnance throats the barrel to allow use of modern defense ammo including hollow points. Unfortunately, at least for my testing, Auto-Ordnance decided to stick with the M1911A1 tiny sights.
Rounds Downrange
After firing my first group I went back to my car and got a pair of “readers” that I normally keep handy for reading restaurant menus. My second group was half the size of my first, and I was actually pleasantly surprised by the amount of accuracy the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 possesses. I fired all groups at 25-yards from a seated rest utilizing a DOA Tactical portable shooting bench and rested the gun’s dust cover on a Millett BenchMaster for support. I fired three, five-shot groups with each ammunition and the best group is listed in the accuracy table.

For an untuned 1911 right out of the box, this amount of accuracy was unexpected. Like the M1 carbine, the M1911A1 proved 100% reliable with every ammunition fired. I was impressed with the fit between the slide and frame and also the precision with which parts such as the grip safety and thumb safety were fit. If you value history as much as American craftsmanship and ingenuity, the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 will appeal to you!
Because the COVID-19 vaccines are a massive failure and no one wants them anymore, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has proposed combining the annual flu shot with an annual COVID booster. The propaganda is failing and people are starting to wonder about those injections that are pushed on them, so Big Pharma is going to rebrand their products.
“We are in the midst of a heavily funded international re-branding campaign to resurrect demand for failed, toxic pharmaceutical products,” warns Dr. William Makis about what Bourla and his cronies are now scheming to do to keep the profits flowing.
Bourla said he expected one in four Americans, or around 24 percent of the United States population, to take another COVID jab this fall. In reality, “maybe seven, eight percent have done it,” Bourla complained, citing “COVID fatigue” and people being “far away from the COVID fear” as the reasons. Maybe it isn’t COVID fatigue. Maybe it’s that the slave class is finally figuring out that they were coerced into taking something that has done more harm than good.
Big Pharma wants the ruling class to force the “vaccines” on people via mandates because too many are deciding that getting these shots is not right for them.
“If the vaccine were required yearly, patients might feel more comfortable receiving the vaccine since it has been approved for a longer time,” the paper reads. “The CDC reports that in 1980, there were only 12.4 million doses of the influenza vaccine administered but by 2020, it had increased to 194 million doses. Amount of doses given year to year differ but the overall trend is a strongly increasing trend. It can be assumed that over time, the COVID-19 vaccine will follow the same trend and higher vaccination rates will be achieved the longer that the vaccine is on the market and if the vaccine is mandated yearly.”
This is just another sad and pitiful attempt by Big Pharma to convince the slave class to keep getting injected.
The big pharma executives also don’t care about health. They are not even trying to hide it anymore. They just want money and power and the only way to do that is to get people convinced that they need more shots.
One study has been manipulating the Hippocratic Oath to claim the “vaccines” are not doing harm, when it’s already been shown that they in fact, do a lot of harm. “A physician’s first duty is to ‘do no harm’ to their patient,” the paper titled Fighting Against Vaccine Hesitancy: An Emerging Challenge for Public Healthreads. “Mandating the COVID-19 vaccine would ensure that the physician is limiting the risk of COVID-19 transmission to their patient and taking every precaution possible to decrease this risk.”
“As we have seen from the influenza vaccine, mandatory vaccination policies among healthcare workers was the most effective way to obtain maximum vaccination rates.”
It doesn’t say this is a way to “obtain maximum health outcomes,” and that should be noted. Big Pharma and the ruling class know what they are doing, and they are unconcerned about the health of the slave class.
Just because someone labels something a “conspiracy theory” does not mean that it is not true. In fact, in recent years so-called “conspiracy theories” have turned out to be accurate time after time. Of course not every crazy theory that people throw around on the Internet is accurate. In fact, I come across nonsense all the time that is flat out false. In this day and age, deception is coming at us from all angles, and it is so important to think critically. Just because someone says that something is true does not make it true. And just because someone says that something is false does not make it false. Ultimately, we all need to do our own research and come to our own conclusions. In this article, I will discuss 3 “conspiracy theories” which have just been confirmed.
#1 Mainstream Media Organizations Really Did Use Video Footage And Photographs From Reporters That Were Embedded With Hamas On October 7th
There were “photojournalists” that were embedded with Hamas forces during the October 7th terror attacks, and major news organizations in the United States used “footage and photos” from those “photojournalists” in their coverage of the events…
The latest ghoulish development following the slaughter of 1,400 Jews in the Oct. 7 Israeli attack on Israel is quite a shocker.
The AP, CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times used footage and photos from reporters embedded with Hamas terrorists during their slaughter of hundreds of Jews.
These Western media outlets then posted the photos in their coverage of this horrendous surprise attack on Israel.
Just when it seems like the mainstream media can’t sink any lower, somehow they find a way to do so.
So did any of these news organizations have advance knowledge that the attacks were going to take place?
The Israeli government is demanding answers from western media outlets including CNN, Reuters, The Associated Press and The New York Times following a media watchdog report that suggested freelance photographers they each hired may have been embedded with Hamas on October 7th.
The issue – highlighted by Honest Reporting – concerns four freelance photographers from Gaza whose works have been published by the media outlets.
One of the “photojournalists” that has been identified is a man named Hassan Eslaiah.
There is now video of Hassan Eslaiah riding the back of a bike on the way to a kibbutz massacre.
Eslaiah is seen carrying a grenade.
Hassan Eslaiah , the CNN and AP terrorist/journalist, live on Facebook, on his way to massacre children and the elderly. Don’t miss the hand grenade, as befits an impartial journalist pic.twitter.com/Qdht4uwXsv
It certainly appears that Hassan Eslaiah wasn’t just there to report on the attacks.
Needless to say, the mainstream news outlets that had worked with these “photojournalists” are denying any prior knowledge of the attacks and it is being reported that they have cut all ties with them…
All four outlets deny having any prior knowledge of the Hamas attack and insist they have cut ties with the reporters. The New York Times today hit out at Honest Reporting for its ‘vague insinuations’, defending the photographer it had hired.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other cabinet ministers are demanding more information.
Hopefully this story will not be brushed under the rug, because we definitely need more answers.
#2 When A Major Sex Trafficking Operation Gets Busted, None Of The Powerful Men That Paid For Sex Is Held Accountable
Have you noticed that none of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients was ever charged with anything?
Jeffrey Epstein arranged for very powerful men to sleep with underage girls for many years, and yet not a single one of those men has ever been held accountable by our courts.
And of course Jeffrey Epstein is no longer around to point a finger at anyone.
Well, now a similar case is making news.
Authorities have arrested three men that were running “high-end brothels” in Massachusetts and Virginia…
A network of “sophisticated” high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia provided sex for pay to “elected officials, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors,” and others, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
“Pick a profession, they are probably represented in this case,” said acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy at a press conference announcing the arrests of three people in connection with operating the pricey sex shops.
During the investigation, it was discovered that all potential clients of the brothel were required to provide very specific identifying information…
Any potential “client” was required to complete a form on the websites with their names, email address, phone number and employer in a so-called verification process before proceeding. After verification and conversation with the brothel via phone, prosecutors say that the sex buyers agreed to meet at various places described as “Target Locations,” or high-end apartments.
Authorities now have all of this information, and they are telling us that the list of clients includes a lot of very powerful men…
Prosecutors say that the high-end brothel network serviced customers working in the following professions: “politicians, pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, lawyers, business executives, technology company executives, scientists, accountants, retail employees, and students.”
Do you know what this means?
It means that the authorities know exactly who they are.
But will any of them ever actually go to trial?
I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.
#3 The Location Of Noah’s Ark
For decades, we have known that the Durupinar formation contains the remains of Noah’s Ark.
If you are not familiar with the Durupinar formation, you can read what Wikipedia has to say about it right here.
The formation is the correct size and shape of Noah’s Ark according to the Bible, and scans of the formation have shown that the Ark is down there.
Scientists excavating a large boat-shaped mound in the eastern mountains of Turkey have announced their tests on the rock and soil samples they collected at the site indicate humans were living at the site 5,000 years ago—the same time frame that some biblical scholars link to the Great Flood from the Bible’s Old Testament book of Genesis.
The research team from three Turkish and American universities has been investigating the theory that the geologic formation is actually the ruins of Noah’s Ark.
According to the test results, there were human activities in the region from 5,550 to 3,000 BC, according to Arkeonews. The mound exists in the Ararat region which was known as Urartu in the ancient past.
My hope is that they will fully excavate the site as soon as possible.
But even if the remains of Noah’s Ark are fully unveiled for all the world to see, a lot of people will still refuse to believe that it is true.
And that is because most people simply believe whatever they want to believe whether the evidence supports it or not.
In my brand new book entitled “Chaos”, I share some absolutely jaw-dropping research that shows that the God of the Bible really is the one true God that created all things.
Some people will read the book and will be persuaded.
Others will go to great lengths to imagine reasons why what I have written cannot be true.
In the end, we all get to choose what we want to believe.
But whether you want to believe it or not, the truth is that God really has been orchestrating celestial events and the course of human history for thousands of years.

I truly wish that headline was an exaggeration. Unfortunately, for decades Americans have been extremely irresponsible with their finances. As a result, credit card debt is at an all-time high, auto loan debt is at an all-time high, mortgage debt is at an all-time high, corporate debt is at an all-time high, state and local governments all over the nation continue to get into absurd amounts of debt, and the federal government has piled up the single largest mountain of debt in the history of the world. Our whole society is absolutely drowning in debt at this stage, and the only way out is for the entire system to collapse.
On Tuesday, we learned that the total amount of credit card debt in the U.S. has now reached a new record high of 1.08 trillion dollars…
Americans now owe $1.08 trillion on their credit cards, according to a new report on household debt from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Credit card balances spiked by $154 billion year over year, notching the largest increase since 1999, the New York Fed found.
“Credit card balances experienced a large jump in the third quarter, consistent with strong consumer spending and real GDP growth,” said Donghoon Lee, the New York Fed’s economic research advisor.
Credit card debt has always been one of the most insidious forms of debt, but now the banks are pushing credit card interest rates to unprecedented heights…
The rise in credit card usage and debt is particularly concerning because interest rates are astronomically high right now. The average credit card annual percentage rate, or APR, hit a new record of 20.72% last week, according to a Bankrate database that goes back to 1985. The previous record was 19% in July 1991.
If people are carrying debt to compensate for steeper prices, they could end up paying more for items in the long run. For instance, if you owe $5,000 in debt — which the average American does — current APR levels would mean it would take about 279 months and $8,124 in interest to pay off the debt making the minimum payments.
It should be illegal to issue a credit card that has an interest rate higher than 20 percent.
But banks are going to keep doing it because our politicians will not stop them.
Auto loan balances also contributed to the uptick, climbing by $13 billion over the course of the third quarter to $1.6 trillion. Student loan debt, meanwhile, increased by $30 billion while mortgage balances jumped by $126 billion to $12.14 trillion.
Overall, U.S. households are now more than 17 trillion dollars in debt.
I can’t even begin to describe how foolish we have been.
The only way to keep the party going is to borrow even more money, but thanks to higher interest rates we are not going to be able to purchase as much.
“We’re looking at a downsized America. I tell it like it is,” O’Leary said on “The Big Money Show.” “Three years ago, even 24 months ago, you get a mortgage at 4.5%. You’re lucky to get one at eight today. So that means the size of the house you’re going to buy is 20 to 25% smaller. That’s a downsize.”
“You want to borrow for a car? Sorry, that’s 8 to 9%. Used to be five,” the O’Leary Ventures chairman added. “So, smaller, less expensive car. That’s happening at the same time.”
He is right.
But we just can’t help ourselves, and so we are going to continue to borrow more money.
The same thing is true for our corporations.
Today, corporate debt is at the highest level ever recorded.
And state and local governments continue to borrow money as if tomorrow will never come.
But the biggest offender of all is the federal government.
The national debt is currently sitting at 33.6 trillion dollars, and it is constantly going higher.
You can watch the national debt clock race upwards right here. To me, that debt clock is actually a countdown to the financial destruction of America.
Once upon a time, I warned that the U.S. would be paying a trillion dollars in interest on the national debt by the year 2030.
Well, guess what?
We got there early.
According to Bloomberg, we have already crossed that ominous threshold…
Estimated annualized interest payments on the US government debt pile climbed past $1 trillion at the end of last month, Bloomberg analysis shows. That projected amount has doubled in the past 19 months from the equivalent figure forecast around the time.
The estimated interest expense is calculated using US Treasury data which state the government’s monthly outstanding debt balances and the average interest it pays.
Wow.
As usual, things are even worse than many of us were originally projecting.
Before I end this article, there is one more thing that I wanted to mention.
The “glitch” that affected the direct deposit of so many paychecks all over the nation still has not been resolved five days later…
Federal Reserve officials are urging banks to work with customers hurt by ongoing deposit delays that have prevented some people from accessing their paychecks and other funds.
A number of customers still haven’t received their direct deposit paychecks following a “human error” that damaged the plumbing of America’s banking system. The deposit delays are linked to a problem that emerged on Friday with the Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments system, causing headaches for consumers and employers.
“The Federal Reserve encourages banks to work quickly to resolve issues for customers experiencing delays in receiving direct deposit payments as a result of operational issues at a private sector payments provider,” a Fed spokesman told CNN in a statement.
Was it really a “human error” that caused this?
If someone just hit a wrong button, you would think that would be relatively easy to fix.
Keep a close eye on the banks. As I discuss in my new book entitled “Chaos”, the banks are the beating heart of our economy and enormous trouble is brewing.
Without healthy banks, our entire system will go haywire very rapidly.
We need to borrow money for just about every major purchase that we make, and it is the banks that make the vast majority of those loans.
If the flow of credit starts to dry up, so will our standard of living.
Unfortunately, a credit crunch has now begun, and that is going to have very serious implications for all of us.

There are so many benefits to gardening. One of the best benefits is putting fresh food on the table and for me, there’s just isn’t a better feeling than that!
A lot of folks think that when the summer and early fall gardening season ends, so does the gardening. That’s just not true.
What if I told you that you can grow a plentiful garden INDOORS…all year round?
Gardeners who garden indoors do so for a number of reasons. Here are the most common reasons:
Gardeners who live in northern climates that have shorter summer months love indoor gardens. It provides them with more options to have the most productive, plentiful garden.
Gardeners without a good gardening area in the yard may find growing indoors especially useful. Indoor gardening systems are perfect for those who live in the city, especially those who live in an apartment or townhome.
Plants also help beautify your indoor space and freshen the air inside the house.
Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? Let’s go even further and get you started on the road to indoor gardening. What I’ll be covering in this article:
Space: The best spaces in your home for indoor gardening
Light: The best lighting options for indoor gardening
Temperature: What temperatures are necessary for an indoor garden
Humidity: Watching for signs that plants are being affected
Soil: Which soil is best for indoor gardening
Plants: Choosing the right plants for indoor gardening
Maintenance: Watering and fertilizing your indoor garden
Space
You can utilize a bigger space for your indoor garden. You can grow all kind of plants.
Most indoor gardeners use windowsills and tables for their indoor gardening areas. The table should be on a tile or linoleum floor to catch any water. A tarp under the table can be used as well.
Another great idea is shelving which will give more room for your plants without occupying too much room space. Just make sure each plant gets adequate lighting regardless of how they’re arranged on the shelves.

Light
Plants photosynthesize to survive and need light to do this. Not having sufficient light will hinder the plant’s growth, and in some cases, the plant may not produce fruit.
A grow light may be required. If you are new to indoor gardening, choosing a grow light can be confusing, as there are different indoor grow lights to choose from.
Here are the choices for grow lights and the results they produce. Incandescent lamps are inexpensive and can be bought at large nurseries and hardware stores. While they work OK for growing houseplants, they are not ideal for an indoor garden.
Fluorescent lights are best for indoor herb gardens and other plants that don’t need too much lighting. They are not recommended for plants in the flowering and budding stage because they don’t provide adequate light. Inexpensive, they can be purchased at hardware near you as well as garden supplies.
The new Compact Fluorescent Systems, however, are quite bright and efficient, and in some cases might even be better than the high-intensity discharge lights. Compact fluorescents are smaller and more efficient compared to the old fluorescent lights which make them usable for all plant types.
Incandescent lights produce more heat than the compact fluorescent ones so you can place the lighting nearer to the plant.
The brightest and most efficient lights available are High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Bulbs, but you may need to pay more. A single 1,000 watts grow light bulb is approximately the same as 50 40-watt fluorescent lights.
Keep in mind that there are different types of HID Bulbs to choose from. The High-Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide bulbs are the only ones indoor gardeners will need.
High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) Bulbs produce a red-orange light that benefits flowering. With an average lifespan 2X that of metal halides, high-pressure sodium lamps are economical.
What Is A Metal Halide Bulb? An electric bulb that uses a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury to produce light.
This isn’t a great light if you are only going to use one, as it doesn’t produce light in the blue spectrum needed for leafy growth.
Lightweight, complete grow fixture, easy to set-up and use

Simulates natural sunlight for maximum plant growth with 16,000 lumens
Metal Halide (MH) Bulbs produce a blue-white color that is conducive to encouraging leafy growth for more compact plants. One bulb can reach up to 10,000 hours of use and has better lighting compared to incandescent bulbs and standard fluorescent lights.
This is a good light to start plants out with. High-Pressure Sodium lights, on the other hand, are the most suitable flowering plants.
Note: There is more to a grow light than just the bulb. You can purchase the reflector, cord, ballast, bulb, and other parts separately, or buy a whole system that just needs to be plugged in.
Temperature
Temperature is very important in growing plants and most of them need 65-75ºF. Too much heat will make the plant weak and small while yellow leaves fall off from plants grown in colder temperatures. Having just the right temperature is necessary for plants to grow healthy.
Humidity
Not having enough humidity inside can be a problem for gardening indoors. People normally use the heater during the dry winter which adds up to the challenge.
The following are a few results of low humidity in the garden room:
The leaves turn brown at the tip
Withering or puckering of the plants
Plants lose their leaves
You have set up the right humidity for your plant but the result is the same
To increase humidity:
Apply needed mist for your plant every day. (Refrain from doing this with plants that have hairy leaves. The water can cause disease if it stays too long.)
Put a water tray close to your garden and place lava rocks in it to build an area of evaporation (Make sure not to put any plant in the tray).
Higher relative humidity is achieved by positioning your plants close to each other.
Use a humidifier if you have one. Environmental controllers that set the humidity in a room are now also available in the market.
Indoor gardens benefit from a good planting medium. Soil found outside is not appropriate since it’s often too heavy and may contain weed seeds and insect pests.
Instead, look for a mix that is specific to indoor plants. A good growing medium should remain loose and drain well, yet contain enough organic matter to hold nutrients and moisture.

Plants
Almost anything can be grown indoors — as long as it eventually doesn’t get too big. However, do consider growing plants with similar light, humidity, and watering need together.

Maintaining Your Indoor Garden
Watering
Plants dry quicker than the soil when grown in containers so make sure to water them frequently. The water must flow out of the drain holes to indicate enough water is used (room-temperature water is recommended).
Always ensure no water is collected under the plant to prevent disease and rot.

Fertilizing
Organic fertilizing for indoor plants is the best recommendation. In fact, If you compost at home, you can make a compost tea to water your indoor plants.
Here’s how:
Fill a bucket about 1/3 full with finished compost.
Add water until the bucket is full.
Let the bucket sit for a few hours if not three or four days (don’t let it freeze!).
Using cheesecloth or a fine screen, strain the mixture into another container (Anything leftover can be thrown into the garden or back into the compost bin).
Add water to the liquid until it is the color of weak tea.
Apply the compost tea to the soil around your plants.

Are we on the verge of another major health scare? When COVID first erupted several years ago, it was often difficult to identify who had it. But now a new variant has emerged that is really “taking off” in Europe, and a disgusting red rash is one of the primary symptoms. The variant is currently known as “JN.1”, although I am sure that they will give it a fancy new name once it spreads widely enough. We have hardly heard anything about this new variant in the United States, but they are really buzzing about it on the other side of the Atlantic. “JN.1” is a direct descendant of the Pirola variant, and one doctor told the Express that Pirola can “cause visible facial symptoms” such as “a red rash that might appear on your face”…
Dr Johannes Uys, a GP from Broadgate General Practice, told the Express that “unlike most previous variants, Covid Pirola can cause visible facial symptoms such as eye irritation and a skin rash”.
Other than a red rash that might appear on your face and itchy, irritated eyes, Pirola has other distinctive symptoms, like diarrhoea and fatigue.
How would you feel if itchy red sores started to develop all over your face?
This was never a symptom of COVID that was mentioned by authorities early in the pandemic, but now things have changed.
A large and itchy rash with tiny lumps and blisters can occur either during COVID or weeks later. This can last for weeks while you are recovering and if it is an issue, treatment with moisturising or steroid creams can help. COVID can also cause a very itchy, large rash called urticaria; also known as nettle rash or hives. It can appear suddenly as smooth bumps on the skin which can come and go quite quickly. This can happen when you first have COVID but can last for months.
Yuck.
And that same article goes on to explain that COVID can cause other types of rashes as well…
COVID can also cause a rash on the body called pityriasis rosea. This starts with a single, large red patch, followed a few days later by many smaller red/darker patches on the middle part of your body, for example, your chest, stomach or back. These are not too itchy. On darker skin, the patches can be darker, brown or black. This rash goes away by itself after several months. Moisturisers and steroid creams can be helpful if the rash is causing problems.
Another rash that is caused by COVID is an itchy large rash called a viral exanthem. This can be lumpy and flat. It is red in people with lighter skin and brown/black in people with darker skin.
If you catch COVID and start developing sores on your skin, there is a good chance that you have been infected by the Pirola variant or the descendant of the Pirola variant known as “JN.1”.
According to Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Centre for Health Security, JN.1 is a descendant of BA.2.86 – better known as the Pirola variant, which itself came from Omicron.
As reported by Prevention.com , professor and chief of infectious diseases at the University at Buffalo in New York – Thomas Russo – said: “BA.2.86 has more than 20 mutations on the spike protein and there was a concern when it was first detected a while back that, wow, this might be a real problem.”
He explained that JN.1 has an additional mutation on its spike protein from BA.2.86, which is what coronavirus uses to latch onto your cells and make you sick.
Now “JN.1” is here, and we are being told that it is really “taking off” over in Europe…
“JN.1 has been described in a number of countries, including the U.S., Iceland, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands,” Dr. Russo says. “It’s also increasing in frequency in France—it seems to be taking off.”
JN.1 also has a mutation on its spike protein that “seems to make it much more immune evasive than its parents,” Dr. Russo says, adding that the variant is “quite devious.”
In the end, hopefully “JN.1” will turn out to be not a major threat.
But winter is almost here, and this is a time when respiratory diseases can run rampant.
Chinese officials are once again telling the public to wear masks as various respiratory diseases surge alongside a rise in coronavirus cases.
China’s state-run Global Times on Friday quoted epidemiologists who claimed the surge of pneumonia, influenza, bacterial infections, and coronavirus cases was not too far out of line with projections for China’s autumn and winter sick seasons, although their comments implied influenza infections severe enough to require hospital visits were picking up steam a little earlier than usual in the southern provinces.
If “JN.1” or some other respiratory illness starts spreading like wildfire in the U.S., will officials in our nation soon be making similar pronouncements?
I certainly hope not.
Meanwhile, the bird flu continues to spread all over the globe.
After confirming the presence of highly pathogenic avian flu in a flock of chickens, nearly 48,000 birds were killed at a north Alabama farm, state agriculture officials said.
A Marshall County commercial pullet farm — one that raises chicks from hatching until they are ready to produce eggs when they are moved to a laying barn — was placed under quarantine after samples were confirmed positive for HPAI, the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries announced Friday.
Have you noticed that chicken and turkey cost a lot more than they once did?
You can thank the bird flu for that, and the truth is that the bird flu is not going away any time soon.
Let’s just hope that it doesn’t mutate into a form that can spread easily among humans, because the bird flu has a death rate of more than 50 percent in humans.
As I discuss in my brand new book entitled “Chaos”, we should expect great pestilences to absolutely ravage our planet during the years ahead.
Our ability to create great plagues has far surpassed our ability to control them, and it is just a matter of time before more “mistakes” happen.

In addition to my new book I have written seven other books that are available on Amazon.com including “7 Year Apocalypse”, “Lost Prophecies Of The Future Of America”, “The Beginning Of The End”, and “Living A Life That Really Matters”. (#CommissionsEarned) When you purchase any of these books you help to support the work that I am doing, and one way that you can really help is by sending copies as gifts to family and friends. Time is short, and I need help getting these warnings into the hands of as many people as possible. I have also started a brand new Substack newsletter, and I encourage you to subscribe so that you won’t miss any of my articles. I have published thousands of articles on The Economic Collapse Blog, End Of The American Dream and The Most Important News, and the articles that I publish on those sites are republished on dozens of other prominent websites all over the globe. I always freely and happily allow others to republish my articles on their own websites, but I also ask that they include this “About the Author” section with each article. The material contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and readers should consult licensed professionals before making any legal, business, financial or health decisions. I encourage you to follow me on social media on Facebook and Twitter, and any way that you can share these articles with others is definitely a great help. These are such troubled times, and people need hope. John 3:16 tells us about the hope that God has given us through Jesus Christ: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If you have not already done so, I strongly urge you to invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior today.
