Peace In Our Time Or More Trouble Ahead?


The good news is that our faux WAR has finally eroded the material warehouses of the military.  And manpower based doctrines are absurd and deeply obsolete.  Yet a well trained army is expensive to create.

Yet any such regiment or brigade or even Corp, can crush a far larger untrained force.

Regardless WAR itself became obsolete two hundred years ago.  It just took this long to make it clear to all.  when every citizen can steal a military grade rifle and kill from a mile away even, any concentrated force is only a target.  Now imagine a drone dropping a grenade.

The long term trend is down and that continues.  Fully educated populations are also steadily increasing. NATO will soon be corralled as well and Russia will be able to integrate.  the only thing left will be the CCP..


Peace In Our Time Or More Trouble Ahead?

No one is attempting to stop the war between the West and Russia. Nobody is speaking about peace. The one person who does not want war, Donald Trump, was almost assassinated yesterday. It was a sad day.

Peace is almost a forbidden word among Western politicians. So, no one should be surprised when World War 3 begins and when a nuclear explosion happens somewhere, false flag or not. Across many fronts, it does seem like the West has lost touch with reality and is bringing death and destruction upon itself. This all got into high gear when Western countries refused to protect their borders, effectively inviting invasions that have become massive migrations.

The poison killing our country is pervasive untruth. Every institution we have relied on to run the public interest has become a factory churning out lies, evasions, and misdirection.

Peace is beyond conflict, yet conflicts exist, even in most families. So, how do we achieve peace? Indeed, peace is impossible when there is no caring or interest in seeing beyond ourselves and into the world of others who are different from us. Creative Conflict was a group process that demanded deep listening as a first step. However, this never became popular because it confronted participants with their egos that did not want to listen to anything that might threaten them with change.

The last half of 2024 is shaping up to be oneof the most politically insane in a century.

It is hard to Have Peace in the World with so much Debt

The national debt continues to skyrocket at a hypersonic speed as our corrupt, treasonous politicians keep spending money we don’t have. That is true insanity, although modern psychology does not recognize this form of lunacy. Both political parties are complicit, as are the entire world’s political elite, who all joined in on the party of debt creation.

Believe it or not, one of the biggest developing problems in the world is that there is not enough debt being created to continue to pay for the over 300 trillion in world debt. However, the United States is giving it a good try, borrowing an astonishing trillion dollars almost every 100 days. Is anybody ready to use wheel barrels to carry their money around like the Germans had to 100 years ago? Global debt, public and private, now tops $315 trillion, 333% of global GDP.

I gave up writing about business and finance years ago. It got tiring writing up worse-case scenarios that never seemed to come, but the fundamentals of disaster were clearly on the horizon and still are. Five years ago, financial armageddon would be the headline if we saw the U.S. government borrowing what they are today. Now, we hardly notice, not in a way that matters, but most people are noticing what it costs to eat today. However, investors are noticing.


“The system’s rigged,” proclaimed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., channeling the frustration felt by countless Americans during a heated interview. “People know that they don’t own their government anymore. It’s rigged against them.” In a searing indictment, Kennedy described the current state as an “oligarchy” engineered to “strip-mine wealth from the American middle class and send it north.”

“You eliminate the middle class, which we’ve done now, and you have this new oligarchy of billionaires, and you have widespread poverty below. That configuration is too unstable to support democracy sustainably. So we’re going to lose democracy if we don’t have a middle class, and we don’t have one anymore.”



The Failure of Big Medicine and Big Everything Else

James Howard Kunstler writes, “Forgive me for reiterating a basic principle driving this moment in history: everything organized at the gigantic scale is steaming toward failure: big governments, giant companies, the huge capital investment firms, global shipping, energy production, chain retailing, mass motoring, big electricity, big medicine, big education, big anything. They are all fixing to fail while our politicians and economists make plans based on consolidating them into one super-gigantic mega-system that will run flawlessly on computer tech magic. The failures of each giant system will only amplify and ramify the failures in all the other systems.”

He also goes on to say, “Similarly, if you have an urgent medical problem, the 80 percent of administrative clerks in your primary care doctor’s overgrown practice (with an assist from the health insurance company cohorts they must coordinate with) will actually manage to delay your treatment as long as possible, with a fair chance of disallowing it altogether. And if you happen to get treatment, there’s also an excellent chance you will be misdiagnosed and subjected to iatrogenic injury.”

Brandon Smith asks, “What does an economic collapse look like?”

“As I have said for years, an economic collapse is NOT an event; it’s a process. When people think of a historic crisis, they usually imagine something like the stock market crash of 1929 at the beginning of the Great Depression. However, there were numerous indicators and warning signs leading up to that crash that should have tipped people off. There were even a handful of economists that voiced concerns about impending instability, yet they were ignored. Then, after the crash occurred, numerous establishment economists denied that the system was in any real danger.”

Frank Giustra warns of a looming financial crisis in the U.S. (and other Western nations) fuelled by spiraling debt, money printing, and a broken political system — and that most people will be unprepared. Although much of the population is anxious, no one can imagine a worst-case scenario simply because, unlike my parents’ generation, our generation has never experienced the effects of depression, hyperinflation, or war. The sad reality is that history has shown us that these cycles occur every 70 to 100 years, and the patterns leading up to these crises are recognizable.

It Is Time For Real Trouble

As the economic and financial clouds threaten, so does war, and that has been a pattern we have seen throughout history. It isn’t very comforting to read every day about the increasing conflict between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, which, of course, includes the United States. Aleksandar Vučić is the President of Serbia. He gave a television interview on Hal Turner Radio Show, stating plainly, “We will have World War within three to four months, maybe sooner.”

Of course, a new world war would bring hell to earth. One good look at Gaza shows it is already here and what it will be like for countless people.

Conclusion and Personal Communication

Preparing our hearts and minds for what is coming and what is already arriving at the station of our collective lives is almost impossible. However, the time is now if there was ever a time to stock up on some basics, like magnesium, bicarbonate, iodine, and essential foods.

Most of us anticipate life to continue as it always has, which is normal psychology. However, listening and thinking carefully is more important than ever, for our survival might depend upon it.

I have to concede that mentally, I have overprepared. I even wrote a book 17 years ago called Into the Ashes, so my mind is full of negative expectations, and that is now spilling over into my personal life. It is tough not to look at what is happening, even though I minimize my exposure the best I can. I must avoid my computer altogether to reduce that exposure to zero, which is impossible. But I have years of thinking and seeing worst-case scenarios affecting me.
