It’s the 3rd day of May 2022 and this is “The Greatest Monologue Ever!”
Are you ready to deal with circumstances you will have very little control over? A self imposed restriction on life by our politicians who lord over us. Some of this is planned, while some of it is just using an opportunity. They have been working on this exact scenario for a long time. Simmering our children. Indoctrinating them to the ways of the regime which takes over every four years. Filling our precious kids with a euphoria that can not be sustained. Turning them against their parents and family. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The steep slope to the ocean bottom is an economic depression. Food shortages. Home values plummeting. Supply chains not able to accomidate our needs. Let alone the many who may die in places like, Africa. India. Central America.
What is your plan? Do you have one? Or, shall I say have you even thought about it? If you are the latter; you can join a large chorus of Americans oblivious to the potential ahead for our Country and Globe.
Fights over whether this will be a recession or a depression is an ominus sign. It is a billboard that has been planted in our minds to get us ready for the inevitable. Remember just a few short months ago when they were telling us this was transitory? I repeat as I have in the past. We will slowly slide into totalitarianism, it might be a softer feel and look. But, your rights will disappear at an alarming rate and before you know it, you will ask yourself what happened.
Inflation is the biggest bomb thrower already affecting us. This week we will here what this month holds for us on that numbers front. Many of us suspect that it will go even higher than last month. This means every dollar you had when President Biden took office is now worth some 10-20 cents less than just 17 months ago. Add in several outside influences like a war in Europe. A crazy dictator with cancer ready to push the Nuke button. And an emboldened China readying for an attack on China; Paint yourself a picture, and you get the perfect storm of problems coming together to enable the grasp of more power for our government and governments around the world.
If you are sitting in your basement playing video games your not listening to this podcast thats for sure. But, if you are listening, the logical thing to do is to be prepared. Food shortages are on our horizon. You probably noticed a few shelves with missing goods in just about every super market, Wal-mart, and fast food joint in your town. The CEO of Goya foods Bob Unanu says that food shortages are inevitable as countries are now starting to weaponize the food supply. Russia has threatened to stop oil, natural gas, and now wheat. This in turn has a ripple affect that encircles the globe even if they don't pull the trigger on it.
Straight from the front page of a simple google search, we found stories talking of meat, dairy, and egg shortages. Not in some poor country. Here in the United States. But, officially from the USDA we currently are not seeing any shortages. Yah, check your shelves on that one. Nothing to see here, move along, no worries, just a lull in stocking. You’ll be fine. Since countries like Sri Lanka are already in drastic need of food in many places. I think we can say the global food shortage has already started. Normally our much beloved farmers would kick in to gear to help out. But they too are suffering from gas prices, no fertilizer, and high operation costs as a whole. What does our government tell them? Go green. They are truly trying to push farmers to go green to help out climate change. Climate change, are you kidding me. As the world is on fire with the convergince of so many problems far more pressing. Our government is focused on electric farming equipment and stifling free speech.
You know I had half a thought off stopping right there, but with literally nearly 1500 ships sitting near Shang Hai to get loaded. I pressed forward wondering if we will add supply chain problems to every single disaster developing. Ships can’t load quickly because Shang Hai is on a month long lockdown. Not just stay at home. They are welding doors shut to keep people in high rises. Because of that at least 1 out of every ten items in the world will be slowed if not stopped for now. I didn’t say that, 60 minutes Australia did. This too is having a ripple affect or lets call it a large wave affect to be pushed into all nations. Look for your costs to increase even more. Inflation to remain sky high. And as a response to that inflation our banks will raise interest rates many times this year. If you have not already bought a home this year but are thinking about it, you may have probably already missed out on low interest rates. Homes will peak shortly if not already, then fall as the housing bubble which is bigger than the one in 2008, will burst soon. If you have a good amount in equity in your home now you should be able to weather the storm. Folks I know you can see the plethora of problems coming. A potential economic crash may be fueled by the housing bubble coupled with what, a war, inflation, food shortages, you name it, it seems to be happening. Economic collapse I don’t take lightly. It is a chaos none of us have seen before. Not to the coming levels many foresee anyways. You need to be prepared and have a plan of action in the case the collapse does occur. Take care of your bills and help those around you. Family, friends, then the neighbors.
I’m going to switch gears and go to an entirely different topic as the current situation dictates. It struck last night as word came out that a leak showed that the supreme court has decided to overturn Roe Vs Wade. My first takes are what you might think. I am a Pro Life supporter. So saving life is at my forefront. That doesn’t mean I do not have compassion for those who have chosen to have an abortion. We should come along side them and love them through the tough times they may endure. But as you might think, the politiziation became fast and furious. On the Foxnews side, the talk was of the terrible precedence of the leak by about 80-90% and only 10-20% about what it means. Flip the channel and CNN was touting how bad it would be for women, by about 80-90% compared to the leak itself at 10-20%. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at all. This morning in less than 15 hours from the news leaking, Senator Schumer got on the Senate floor proclaiming that Pro Life people are now the villains. Political abuse he says would have percussions through all of the coming elections. You notice when you lose it is an abuse, while ignoring the abuse you perform at that very moment. Not once did he state that Abortion has not been abolished. Not once did he talk about the states making their own rules. A right to abortion was not lost, states will now make their own decisions on the subject. But, I say this generously, he was at the vary least disengenuis, and at it’s worse pure evil. Words can be like daggers and he threw them accurately towards many in trying to make it look like it was something that it was not.
He called it dark and dangerous with no sympothy for the 60 million babies that have been lost in the last 70 years in this country alone. This politically has been a priority of those on the left as they force this onto our most abused communities. Those in the inner cities, those racially pushed to the side until needed by the Democrat party. The party that crows continually about racial equity, has no problem allowing what they call their constituants to continue this abhorent practice. Here may be the greatest fallout from this news. The political luminati will push the poor choices of an apparently racist court. Thus, they will say they need to pack it as soon as possible to not encure a decision like the one that may be coming. Classic totalitarianism and unfortunately, exactly what dare I say all politicians seem to do. When they do not like the outcome they look for ways to rig the system so they never loose again. Shockwaves will be sent through our government telling them to cover up their actions, and to create a system where they are the only arbitors of what is right and wrong. Neon signs continue to point to a takeover of your rights, and daily life style. Many will take sides.
While many will not pay attention. As we slowly fall into the abyss our grand children and great grand children will have to pick up the pieces and put back together the once, greatest nation to ever grace this earth.
I like many of you, love to talk about what is happening in the world. The things that truly affect us all. But, while I want you to prepare for coming events. I also want you to not worry over them. We as the little peeps get to stew over the unfortunate decisions our leaders make. We get to proclaim our ideas in the public square. At least for now. Do your homework and be ready for any situation that you may encounter. It still is your decision on where you go with your life.
So here is the good news. The reality is we have God on our side. Look Yes, we may not like the outcomes of many of the problems we have talked about. But, we have comfort in knowing that Jesus died for us so that we need not worry any more.
Find Jesus if you have not! He will give you solace in knowing that you are loved and cared for. If you are Burdened by any problem, trust Jesus, the only Truth that can carry you through the troubles we endure!
