For then there will be a time of great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Matthew 24: 21]

The world is barreling headlong into some horrible times and people who can anticipate them and see this tribulation bearing down on us are mostly continuing to ignore it. When Jesus Christ Himself says something this significant, everyone should open their eyes and prepare themselves as best they can. The biggest part of that preparation must be to answer the call Jesus makes to every one of us to dedicate their lives to Him and follow His guidance. It’s going to get extremely bad, indescribably bad, for mankind and we need to try and come to terms with it.

Try and imagine, if you can some of the tidings of a great tribulation: some places, probably entire countries will be destitute – lacking the basic necessities for life. Suppose that a nuclear exchange has happened and you are one of the pitiful survivors. Even in the first hours after such a horrific event, you will already envy those who did not survive. Whatever foodstuffs and water that are left will most likely be contaminated with radioactive toxins, but hunger and thirst will eventually drive you to consume whatever you can find – and pay the price. Radiation poisoning will be rampant, the few straggling, injured and burned survivors will all be suffering and violently ill, many to the point where they can’t even get up and walk – resigned to suffer to the horrible end lying on shattered concrete debris beside a puddle of poison black water which will be their end.

There will be no services, no government helicopters swooping in to evacuate the ill and wounded, all avenues of assistance will have been completely destroyed. If there are still places in the country – or the world – that still have any semblance of functioning societies, you can bet they won’t be concerned, they won’t even know of your plight as you lie in agony from the horrific burns all over what was once your functional body. Far away places will never be in contact with your city again. [Revelation 18:2]: “And he (the angel) cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!” Thick, toxic, black smoke will billow from every corner of your destroyed city. You probably won’t even be able to see anything around you except other piteous creatures in conditions similar to your own and such companionship of folks in that condition won’t do anything to encourage or alleviate your suffering.

Left unchecked, all the poisons that have been injected into the atmosphere during the last several years of “climate engineering” might have brought you to a similar situation, but after having breathed such contaminants into your lungs, your body is not able to recover from wounds and sickness as it might have been, so if you are to survive at all, your pathetic condition will linger much longer that it might have otherwise. There will be some few among the ranks of survivors who will be in better condition than you, but most will be in similar trauma, and some worse, but without medical help, none of those will last very much longer.

No birds will be left to fly across the leaden, windless skies, nor to sing their merry songs. The silent darkness of the day will scarcely be bright enough to discern the downtrodden, suffering survivors ambling through the debris-filled streets. They will be going nowhere in particular, like the Hiroshima survivors, there will only be small groups of bedraggled, tortured people, many blind, all burned beyond recognition, leaderless, wandering nowhere. Perhaps they will stop to drink from some dark, poison puddle, no longer caring that the water they consume might be fatal for them. They will be beyond any worry of death by then, in fact they will welcome the comfort of death. Life, as it was known in your city, is over. The following verses describe what is to become of the great city of the modern Babylon, but looks to be a nationwide future, perhaps even for a great nation like the US: [Revelation 18:22-24]: The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. ²³ The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. ²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” There is no other nation in the world that has committed more evil in the eyes of God than the US, so why wouldn’t this prophecy, or at least something similar, be directed at it?

Mighty men, wealthy men, our leaders who we all trusted to do the right things, were contriving precisely this situation for the people of the world whole they were having lavish underground structures built and furnished with survival necessities where they planned to ride this situation out, presumably to emerge and resume their exuberant shelters once the air cleared. None of them trusted the word of God, Whose prophets and Jesus Himself warned of the oncoming tribulation, and the wealthy were certainly not excused! Their plight will be especially painful, for when these days come about, the Almighty will have become fully engaged. It’s not going to be pretty for the rich and the mighty as they scurry like rats to get to their holes: [Revelation 6:16]: “¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, the great men, ^[j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, ¹⁶ and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! But the Bible also speaks of a great earthquake, a more powerful one than has ever been: [Revelation 16:18]: “And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.” Maybe becoming trapped dozens of feet underground in the darkness with no way out will be the special punishment of the wealthy who brought these events upon the world, who knows? I do know that in the event of an earthquake of this magnitude, underground is the last place I’d want to be.

You don’t even have to be a Christian to see all of this coming, and you can believe what you will, but the words at the beginning of this post came from the mouth of the Savior Himself, Jesus Christ in the flesh. These things are what lies in store for disregarding what Jesus said about who He is and it will be painful for those who rejected Him as God’s Son at the final Judgement. Those who claim no religion at all and especially those (who are building demonic data centers) in avowed service to Satan (Molech, Baal, Remphan, etc.) will get the worst of it all. The godless world will indeed drink of the cup of the wrath of God, and it’s not going to go well for them.

Get right with God and commit the time you have left to serve Jesus Christ. Nothing else is worthy of your time now. Jesus is the answer to all of the problems upon us, and the spiritually blind will suffer for rejecting the Son of God because they chose to be blind.

May the blessings of the Almighty find and keep us.

The world is running out of fresh water. We find ourselves rapidly approaching one of – if not the most seminal of situations in which we will finally plumb the depths of the abyss, a measure that, among other things, will demonstrate just how great the influence of vast pecuniary wealth proves to be when the world’s population grows thirsty. How dedicated will the proprietors’ security apparatus engage a public faced with one of – if not the most primal needs of biological existence. Will the billionaire’s whimsical pursuit of data centers or such wasteful consumption of the last fresh water overcome the desiccated hordes who desperately need water to survive? Do we watch our children slowly succumb to the ravages drying up their very metabolism by allowing thoughtless servants of Satan to use their binary (thus imaginary) digital wealth to accumulate what’s left of our planet’s most precious resource for their pet projects?

I’ve written before about the necessity of employing the use of eminent domain to acquire, for the greater good, of course, whatever wealth might be necessary to begin construction of the necessary desalination plants to alleviate our impending water scarcity, and we need politicians with sufficient understanding of this imminent disaster (and willingness to fix it) to start making some decisions that would doubtless offend the bank accounts of wealthy people. Asset seizure of financial assets is not a new idea – the authorities do it all the time and prior to now, it has always been directed at the segment of the population whose standing with the capitalist leadership is less than that of the group this new effort would necessarily affect.

If John Q. Billionaire has assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, why should the authorities not avail themselves of some of that wealth like, say the working farmer whose property gets confiscated by eminent domain for the construction of a new airport? We need desalination no less than some airport or highway, and we need to get started on it as soon as possible to stave off an environmental catastrophe. One cannot imagine how many new jobs such a massive undertaking would necessitate. And think about the manufacturing, transportation and logistics chains that would be created overnight. What a boon to the economy it would be to all of a sudden have hundreds of thousands of construction and maintenance workers building hundreds of desalination plants up and down the coasts and around the Gulf of Mexico! Yes, The Gulf of MEXICO!

I’m surprised what with all the rivers and aquifers around the world that other countries haven’t already begun massive desalination efforts, and there are gulf monarchies in the middle east that have in fact done so, but those nations are trying to build civilizations in places nature did not intend for people to inhabit; what the US needs is to try and sustain the country already in place. Europe could certainly benefit from desalination with rivers over there going dry for the first time in recorded history. The point is that if the effort was undertaken on the scale that would be required, not only would the thirst of the world – the US in particular – be quenched, but economies of the participating countries would literally explode! Think of the tax revenue that could be created for a nation with a huge national debt – like one in particular that comes to mind.

If the billionaire monsters would actually consider doing something beneficial for mankind instead of serving Satan for a change, the financial requirements for such an undertaking might not require arm-twisting, and they could profit immensely from it by supporting it voluntarily, but their sole raison d’ etre is their dedicated service to Satan who made them wealthy to begin with, so it would undoubtedly take some serious persuasion. When one stops to consider the dishonest means these cretins used to gain their wealth, it doesn’t require much departure from moral norms to consider financial asset seizure for the “greater good”. All of them have stolen their wealth (from the citizenry) using some form of financial chicanery or the other. While we are at it, we should stamp out any further notion of data centers – ever – and raze the ones that have been built to the ground! With proper legislative authority, of course, to make it all legal. Congress could pass environmental legislation to make them illegal, which it should have done already. If mayors, governors, city councils, etc. do any shady deals without participation from the citizenry, they should be held accountable. Pressure, people, pressure! Numbers of people trump numbers of dollars! Although it would be a futile effort due to Satan’s immense control, it’s still part of our test here, to see who will stand up and be counted.

The world’s oceans cover three-fourths of the planet’s surface. There’s enough water in the vast seas to supply the needs of everyone on the planet if humanity should decide to capitalize on their potential. This won’t happen of course, due to political corruption in every corner of the globe. The Bible tells us the earth will burn and if one were to look at current events – wildfires everywhere, volcanoes, extreme droughts, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it coming like a runaway freight train. Although the option of desalination of ocean water is available, it will not be undertaken, because Satan’s goal while he has some time, is to destroy as much of God’s creation as he can, claim as many souls to take with him to hell in the end and disrupt the lives of people who try to remain servants of Jesus Christ. Satan controls the wealthy and the leaders of this world, and they will do as they are bidden, if only to stay in power for the short time they have left, so where does that leave us who see what’s happening and choose to remain loyal to the Lord?

Although this post is full of doom and gloom, we really need to stop concentrating so much on the things that are happening that threaten our lives, at least in this pathetic iteration of it. This period of our time is only a trial. God seeks those who have the dedication to Him and are willing to continue in His work until the very end. The test will conclude for each of us, be it ending with a natural demise, or a worldwide conflagration, it will end, and then the real life will begin – for those who have remained faithful. An unimaginable eternal existence in a Paradise of joy so profound that as humans we can’t even imagine it. [1 Corinthians 2:9]: “But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” And as for the water shortage, [Isaiah 65:13]: “Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, My servants shall eat, But you shall be hungry; Behold, My servants shall drink, But you shall be thirsty; Behold, My servants shall rejoice, But you shall be ashamed;”

The writing is indeed on the wall; it is also in the prophecy for what must take place before the end of this time of trouble – this walk through the valley of death on which we find ourselves. There will be famine and droughts, there will be a time when the very sun will burn men with a horrible fire. [Revelation 16:8,9]: “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” The world will dry out and burn up, but Jesus Christ offers us a Way to overcome the evils of this world and become prepared for an eternal life in His presence, which will be far greater than anything we could ever even imagine. It’s high time to listen to Him and take Him up on His offer. He’s building our mansions now [John 14:2,3]: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

I can’t speak for anyone else, but that’s where I want to end up!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Undoubtedly there are issues being considered that most of us aren’t privy to, but from what we can see, we have to call to question why certain actions haven’t been taken or at least recognize that there have to be good reasons for this hesitation. I’m speaking of some of the weapons systems currently possessed by adversaries and potential adversaries of the US. If we’ve learned anything about new military hardware, we should know by now that: a) countries develop new weapons, both offensive and defensive ones, and while they are new or just now being deployed, they are always shrouded in secrecy. b) When these systems are announced to the public, you can bet they have already been deployed for use. c) Adversaries always strive to – and eventually do – develop systems to counter, or defend against these new weapons as well as to copy the “new” technology to upgrade their own weapons. It is the time prior to this c part that explains the “open window”.

Russia, China, and Iran (and likely others in their orbit) have announced that they have – and have used in conflict for a while now – hypersonic missiles. Several types of these weapons have been produced, and notably some of them have maneuverable warheads that can alter their trajectories and approach paths, making them difficult, if not impossible to intercept with any degree of likelihood. Since the US does not have reliable hypersonic technology at this point in time, nor does it have any means of defense against such weapons, it is logical to say the window is open – for a while. The US can be expected to develop both aspects, hypersonic development of their own and interceptors capable of defending against them. History has taught us that this is bound to happen – it’s just a matter of time. A point to consider when discussing military technology as it applies to us and our “adversaries” is that in the capitalist US, making money on military hardware is the top priority, secondary to whether it works or not, but in Russia and China, the utility of the system comes before profit – maybe that’s why they’re getting ahead of us.

The concern herein is that Russia or China, or both, seeing that successive American government regimes have grown more implacable and unreasonable with each new administration, might just decide to capitalize on their brief window of opportunity and go ahead and use these advanced weapons to extract whatever level of submission from the US that might assure them of eliminating existential threat to themselves. As mentioned earlier, this window will undoubtedly close as US technology catches up, but it’s open for now and from my perspective, they’d be foolish not to act while they have this advantage – they know this.

This supposition takes into consideration the current conflict with Iran, in which Russian and Chinese hypersonic technology has been adequately tested (and demonstrated) to ensure western defensive systems are unable to challenge it. Both countries, along with Iran, have been able to consistently hit targets at various theater ranges with increasing numbers of weapons getting through the available patriot systems, which are actually proving to be a worthless investment especially for our Middle Eastern “allies”.

It seems like Iran and her allies have a discernable edge in drone technology as well, and this is being demonstrated in particular by the Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. Iran has found that massive swarms of cheap drones are able to overwhelm advanced warships, a fact that has found the US Navy ships operating far from Iranian shores in the Indian Ocean. This advantage creates opportunities for Chinese hypersonic “carrier killers” to approach undetected in a cloud of cheap drones which are occupying US warship’s defensive systems. US adversaries might choose to attack American assets in various corners of the world while this window is open, i.e., before the US develops appreciable defenses against adversaries’ drone technology.

The current administration in the US has shown beyond any semblance of doubt that it cannot be trusted in any “agreement”. The sole ambition of our Zionist-controlled government is total (Zionist) dominance of every corner of the globe using American blood and treasure of course, and they have well-equipped enemies who are onto their scheme. As for the 60 percent or so of American citizens who would like to avoid confrontations with nuclear-powered adversaries, unless we can come together in a big way, we lack standing in our own country to effectively avoid a future conflagration. We are faced with a choice of being controlled by Putin or XI, or Netanyahu. Or if we can get together and act, by American leaders. Considering how Israel treats those whom it dominates, I’d have to vote for either of the former, but in the off-chance that we can regain control of our nation from the Zionist oligarchs, I think most of us would rather be governed by patriotic American leaders, but as the window of which this post addresses looks to be shutting and as the US closes the gap in technology, our adversaries may have other plans, because I don’t think they want to be controlled by Netanyahu either.

Another aspect of this open window idea is that our enemies (the enemies of the American people – not Russia or China) see their own window of opportunity closing and they are going all-out to get the surveillance state under their complete control. Data Canters are being built and put online despite stealing American water and power. The demonic oligarchs who are striving for control are frantic to get these and their ICE army in control of the American public. They are in a big hurry, too. [Revelation 12:12]: “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

I believe the reason those ICE guys wear masks is that probably the majority of them are IDF and they don’t want patriotic Americans to know that Israel is beginning to treat American citizens like they do the Palestinians. They are pulling out all the stops, taking complete control of America with cameras, highway monitoring, data centers, and all the other accoutrements that inherently come with Zionist domination – if they can get the US under their complete control, they can take the rest of the world – unless Russia and China decide otherwise and take advantage of the open window they have right now. The Israeli Zionists already train almost all American police departments, so it’s pretty easy to ascertain where all the American police brutality comes from. Another open window Americans should close.

Before you get the wrong idea of what this post is about, remember we don’t need to waste what little time we have left hating on Zionist oligarchs or anyone else, for that matter. They work for Satan and are possessed by demons and will all burn in hell – it’s their choice. Patriotic, free Christians do, however, need to start praying fervently for God to give us courage, to take a hand in helping us to get out from under this dark threat by Satan and his synagogue. The window for Russia and China will only be open for a while, and it feels strange to me to be considering to be liberated (or destroyed) by nations who we’ve been deceived into believing were our enemies. Fresh water in the whole world is running on empty. Satan indeed knows he has a short time – such critical things as the country running out of water and Americans awakening and refusing to pay for data center power – Satan’s window of opportunity is closing too.

The final window will be closed which will essentially lock lost souls out of a chance at eternal life when Jesus returns. It’s not far away, and anyone who has read even a modicum of prophecy knows it’s about to happen. The water is running out, and when it does, so will humanity. The earth, as prophesied, will burn. The fabled data centers will burn. All the volcanoes erupting and wild fires burning in Europe and America, not to mention unprecedented heat waves killing people and evaporating the little water that’s left assures us that our time here is short and growing shorter – don’t let Satan take your chance at a future in Paradise where we will be forever in His indescribably wonderful presence – get to know Jesus Christ now while that window is still open. He’s waiting for you to open the door: [Revelation 3:16]: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Open it – it’s all you have to do – He’ll do the rest.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

March 27,1977

As Jacob Louis Veldhausen van Zanten moved the thrust levers forward, the four JT9D-7W Pratt & Whitney engines slowly spooled up until they blasted around 92,000 pounds of thrust that began to move the lumbering behemoth that was the Boeing 747-206B of KLM flight 4805 down a foggy runway on the Spanish Island of Tenerife – a takeoff roll which would in only a few moments take 248 souls on a flight to eternity. Another 335 people down the takeoff runway on a different 747 from America, Pan Am flight 1736, would accompany them on their journey to the hereafter.

Earlier that day as both flight KLM 4805 and Pan Am flight 1736 were en route to the nearby Las Palmas airport on the island of Gran Canaria, a terrorist’s bomb exploded at that facility, causing the airport to close as the authorities feared further action. Both flights were diverted to the Las Rodeos airport located on the nearby island of Tenerife. The American plane was nearing the end of a long flight that had originated in Los Angeles with an intermediate stop at JFK in New York City. The Dutch flight was coming from Amsterdam.

The small airport at Tenerife did not normally process jumbo jets, nor did it usually accommodate the large number of other large passenger jets that had to divert there. It was on a Sunday and there were only two controllers on duty who suddenly found themselves attempting to manage an unheard-of crowd of airliners and passengers at their tiny facility. The terminal was not physically large enough to accommodate all of the extra passengers, so the Dutch passengers, who arrived first were allowed to disembark to the terminal facility, but the American passengers had to stay on board the flight 1736 Clipper Victor for what turned out to be a long stay on the tarmac.

The arrangement of the planes found the 1736 flight spotted behind the Dutch 4805 on the tarmac. The captain of the KLM flight was under time pressure due to a company policy that required crews not to fly beyond a certain number of hours without a rest period, and van Zanten was becoming desperate to get back to Amsterdam, but he would still need to make his Las Palmas stop prior to departure back to Holland which would greatly increase the possibility of having to lay over (and KLM would have to pay hotel fees for his passengers). With this in mind, van Zanten opted to take on fuel at Las Rodeos since they were stuck there anyway rather than take the extra time that would be required to do so when they got to Las Palmas.

As luck would have it, they got the all clear from Las Palmas while the Dutch plane was still fueling, but with the KLM plane spotted in front of the Pan Am jet, the American pilots could not maneuver around the fueling KLM, so the Pan Am had to wait for van Zanten to take 55 tons of fuel and clear the taxiway. Then both of the huge jets began their rolls with destiny at the same time. Since there was only one runway at Los Rodeos with a parallel taxiway, and since that taxiway was crowded with jetliners and could not be used for the better part of the necessary taxi to the takeoff spot, both planes were instructed to taxi down the main runway with the KLM plane taxiing all the way to the end and turning a 180 and with the Clipper instructed to go about three fourths of the way down on the main runway and cross over to the taxiway, which this far out was clear of aircraft.

There was a side story happening at the Los Rodeos airport and no narrative of this tragedy could be complete without a mention of what God did to save the life of one Dutch girl. Her name was Robina von Lanschot and she was a tourist guide travelling with two of her friends on the KLM flight. Robina had a boyfriend who lived on Tenerife, and if the KLM flight had gone as expected, it was her intent to fly from Las Palmas over to Tenerife to stay with him but since they were already (unexpectedly) at Tenerife, she saw no reason to go back to Las Palmas at Gran Canaria and come back again, so she asked one of the KLM stewardesses if she could just stay there, to which the stewardess replied no, she would have to complete the flight to Las Palmas. As mentioned earlier, the Dutch passengers were off the plane and in the concession area of the terminal, so as the passengers were instructed to reboard the KLM jet, Robina sort of melted into the crowd and stayed behind. The friends with whom she was traveling arranged to take care of her luggage at Las Palmas. This decision saved her life as every other passenger on that plane – including Robina’s friends – died in a high-speed crash and horrific explosion – immolated in a huge burst of flames.

As the big jets were trying to get lined up for departure, there were some communication issues. Fog rolled in to the airport, reducing visibility to the extent the controllers couldn’t see either plane and the planes could not see each other. The Dutch plane reached the end of the runway and did its spin preparing for a takeoff roll that would last for eternity but never leave the airport. The American plane crew were busy trying to find the exit point (in the thick fog) they were supposed to take to get clear of the runway. Due to the lack of visibility and poor communication between the tower and the planes, van Zanten flying the KLM plane apparently thought he had takeoff clearance well before the Pan Am plane was clear so he began his takeoff roll and the Dutch plane only became visible to the American crew a matter of seconds later when they suddenly saw it break out of the fog headed at them approaching takeoff speed and far too late for Pan Am to exit the runway. Van Zanten heaved the yoke mightily trying to get the big KLM plane airborne, and without that extra 55 tons of fuel, they might have been able, but instead KLM landing gear crashed into the upper fuselage of the Pan Am at an estimated 160 knots, resulting in the total destruction of both aircraft but the Dutch plane was completely decimated, killing all 248 people on board. The Pan Am plane fared even worse with 335 fatalities but miraculously there were 61 survivors. The cabin crew and a couple of flight attendants on the Pan Am aircraft survived, as did several passengers who were all in the front section of the plane. Dorothy Kelly, one of the flight attendants who survived and went on to relate her incredible story of survival in many interviews and documentaries, had been reassigned from the rear to the front of the plane for this flight (due to the Purser, Francoise de Beaulieu being self-conscious of her own French accent) and had this reassignment not happened, attendant Kelly undoubtedly would not have survived.

Captain Victor Grubbs, First Officer Robert Bragg, and Flight Engineer George Warns of the Pan Am flight survived to a life of interviews and narratives for a curious public about the greatest aviation tragedy in history. The aforementioned Pan Am flight attendant would go on to tell and retell her story of survival. Of the other survivors of the Tenerife tragedy, all would remember with great sadness an early spring day when the world exploded around them on a remote volcanic island off the coast of Africa. Robina van Lanschot chose to keep a low profile after the tragedy, avoiding interviews as much as feasible and her bio has faded into the years since, but she couldn’t possibly forget the day at Los Rodeos airport on the tiny island of Tenerife when decided to break a rule to be with her boyfriend – not knowing at the time that it would save her life.

A few years back I worked with a young fellow who left the job where we worked to go to flight school to become a pilot. I reminded him that every time he started to move the thrust levers to power up for takeoff and his checklists are complete, he should take a second to remember Jacob Veldhausen van Zanten’s final roll and be 100% sure everything is clear. Especially if he can’t see the runway ahead…

The parallels are uncanny. In 9 AD, three Roman legions under the command of one Publius Quinctilius Varus were gadding about in the dark forests of the Central European back country, fully convinced of their unassailable military dominance when to their unimaginable chagrin, one Arminius, a Germanic Cherusci tribesman with a band of barbarians laid claim to what was to become the greatest defeat of the Roman empire until then.

Such was the hubris of all things Rome, Varus had been appointed as governor (thus military leader) of this area even though his was a purely political background (and being married to a relative of Augustus helped him along) – he knew almost nothing of warfare – a lack of professional military experience that brings to mind the current US DOD secretary. Varus’ only military experience had been his tenure as governor of Syria, which proved to be sadly lacking when he was faced with a determined enemy who was familiar with Roman military tactics – a situation comparable to Hegseth’s minimal tactical aptitude. Rome had been in the business of annexing places far and wide in order to avail the empire of resources and tax income from places the empire did not know very well. After all, that’s what empires did and still do to this day.

As Rome flourished, building a vast network of roads and aqueducts, similar to but much more useful than today’s data centers being built all around the current empire, the leadership, in a similar vein of arrogance, (Augustus) apparently felt that if he personally liked someone, that was all the necessary requirement for a fit into any governmental position, so there was the invariable posting of unqualified people in positions that should have required a great deal of expertise. Sound familiar? This lack of military prowess on the part of Varus came back to haunt Rome in a big way. This should be expected when an unqualified military group, depleted of experienced generals and admirals, led by a political hack who had very little military experience in leadership position starts a war against a very capable enemy who has spent years studying strategy in anticipation of such an attack.

Varus manned up his three legions went on a march across Europe, supposedly to consolidate Roman rule in Germania and remind the barbarian tribes of the taxes they were supposed to be paying to Rome, but by that time Arminius had deftly planned his strategy by having visited all the affected tribal leaders in order to bring them under the same rebellious umbrella. Arminius had also served for a time in the Roman army, so he had acquired some degree of familiarity with Roman battle tactics. None of the Iranian military leaders have served in the US or Israeli militaries, but with today’s communications and intelligence capabilities, familiarity with US and Israeli tactics has doubtless been gained as much or more than Armenius did with his service to Rome. Not everyone is aware that when those great armies marched across the countryside, they invariably amassed a following of all kinds of civilians, men and women who followed the legions to aid the armies by providing food and other logistics from which they might receive some profit, so there were probably as many civilians following along as there were legionnaires. All in all it was a big circus, designed to instill awe in any potential rebellious groups by show of arms and soldiers, and simply from their presence, the implied support of the populace.

Arminius had developed a plan of attack, but for it to work, he needed to lure Varus into taking a route through the Teutoburg Forest that he hadn’t planned on taking. Armenius planted a rumor of a Germanic uprising in the area that got to Varus, along with an urgent suggestion that Varus take his armies and go there to quell it, which he did. In their turn, Iran developed a plan in which they identified critical targets on American bases in the Middle East which were to be attacked, starting with the expensive and crucial radar systems that would prohibit Iranian missile attacks, or at least would no longer be able to give warning of their launches. The point here is that a determined enemy of an overconfident empire expended enormous effort developing unexpected strategies with which they might defeat their vastly superior foes.

Without going into a lot of detail, suffice it to say that using tactics studied over the years and superior knowledge of the terrain, Arminius’ barbarian tribes soundly defeated the armies of the Roman empire at Teutoburg, much like the Iranians with their missile and drone arsenals and superior planning did to the American military with its depleted ranks of generals. So far it seems that the US Centcom commander, this Cooper guy is at least as inept as his boss Hegseth and his boss Trump. Well, at least in everything but lying, but unfortunately lying does not win wars. Just as Arminius’ and his barbarian hordes did to an empire many centuries ago, the IRGC has thoroughly trounced a vastly outmatched today’s army of empire, the biggest difference is that as opposed to Rome, the US empire’s leadership is taking much longer to understand it has been whipped and so continues to lose assets. But with all the good flag officers gone, what can be expected? Stalin, anyone?

So a great military power prowls far away from home and an inferior foe with inexpensive but effective weaponry painstakingly develops a plan to defeat them. The battle of Teutoburg Forest proved to be a decisive defeat for Rome at the hands of an underequipped (but strategically superior) group of barbarians, and the much-hyped and ballyhooed US military got slapped by a brave and determined Iranian military. In both cases the army of empire chose battle in a place where they should not have been and went up against a lesser equipped, but far more motivated enemy. We Americans wonder now what it’s going to take for the leadership to pack up and go home.

Pray for peace.

It’s raining heavily in the Ozarks today, and as I have an aversion to drowning, I’m staying in to catch up on indoor things for now. Rain nowadays reminds me of how blessed we are here compared to folks out west and in the growing number of places where there is a really severe drought and where the main reservoirs that supply drinking water and the water needed for hydroelectric power to all those people. As has been the subject of posts here and here before, water supplies around the country are dwindling, and it’s getting serious. It seems that clean drinking water is becoming more and more scarce everywhere in the world.

There’s more going on than just a drought and water shortages, though. As usual something nefarious is going down which needs as much light as possible shining on it. For instance, back during the shrub Bush years, there was some rumbling about coming water shortages, and even the Bush family bought land in the South American country of Paraguay where there was abundant water. Although a lot of other reasons were given for their purchase, such as to build an escape bunker for some upcoming apocalypse, many speculated that the powers that be knew even back then that a water shortage (that the public at large did not have the resources nor the foresight to see) was imminent and there seemed to be an interest in investment in sources of water.

As for why America seems to be cursed by water shortage, I can’t help but recall those horrid videos the Israeli settlers were airing at the beginning of the Gaza genocide where they were making fun of the poor Gazans by laughingly turning on the taps and wasting water. This was just after the IOF had turned off the water to Gaza, a thirsty piece of desert land by the Mediterranean Sea crammed with people, and the Palestinians were suffering, intentionally being denied the very essence of life. Here in the US, not many folks were willing to complain about what was happening in Gaza. A few of us complained, but all in all, the United States government provided unflagging support – and still do – to the perpetrators of that man-made travesty, and now a lot of folks wonder why God has allowed our taps here in America to start running dry!

The great tribulation mentioned in prophecy won’t just come out of nowhere upon the world – the world, especially the colonial nations, for they will be guilty of all kinds of depredations upon all of their fellow men, but moreso on innocent peoples. The world of “developed” nations will have brought this devastation on themselves. Think about it. West Texas (and Oklahoma), which for years has allowed the oil companies to inject toxic chemical-laden wastewater into underground cavities in a process known as “fracking”, and now people there are all of a sudden whining about toxic wastes that have magically begun to appear in their water supplies. They don’t have all that much water out there to start with, and why the EPA would have allowed fracking in the first place is a big my$tery to me.

Another thing that might be happening is that due to the impending water disaster, millions of people who own land and properties – at least out west – will either sell out or default on their home loans and move out, so the wealthy Zionist bankers will end up holding trillions of dollars’ worth of real estate and homes for pennies on the dollar. Well, homes that will be worth trillions AFTER the rich guys get possession of the properties and then build the necessary desalination facilities and pipelines (that should be in progress right now to avert the disaster) to bring the areas back to life. As always, there is likely a nefarious plan, but if this is what’s going on, it stands to be the greatest wealth transfer in history! They get everyone’s property for pennies because there is no water, then, with their billions, make water available and reap trillions reselling. Sounds simple enough.

Another big waste of water are these damnable AI data centers that are cropping up everywhere. Most Americans don’t really care that these things are simply a big tool for the surveillance state and so just stand by ignorantly as their local water sources are being drained at a phenomenal rate for something that will eventually enslave them. To their credit, there are more and more communities starting to speak out against this travesty by the billionaires, but we ALL need to get in on the act – that is if we would like to continue to live as free Americans. I’ve said it before, and I know most folks will write me off as some kind of nutcase, but just try to connect the dots. The filthy rich Zionist billionaires are Servants of Satan who have sold their souls. If they insist on building data centers, then Data centers must, by virtue of the servants of evil who build them, be tools of evil entities, thus they are temples to false gods which Satan has ordered his chief servants to build. They steal our water – an issue the Zuckerbergs and Thiels couldn’t care less about, but which will bring about unimaginable hardships on normal people.

Maybe – just maybe – God has decided to step in and check the expansion of the surveillance state by shutting off the water needed to run these insidious institutions of Satan, but a lot of people will suffer meanwhile. Get involved in your community. We have to stop this huge waste of water and electricity. Pray that God will take these servants of Satan out of our midst!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

It’s coming down the turnpike right now, and since it has been a long way off until now the densest among us have been able to at least claim they didn’t know it was it coming, but as it emerges into plain sight for everyone to see, even the most stalwart head-buried-in-the-sand proponents of the status quo can no longer deny it’s approach. What I’m describing is a big dump truck full of trouble for us all, and it’s not one of those short bobtails, no it is a big semi with a huge dump-trailer chock-full of the most dreadful and frightening threats to humanity we could have ever imagined and many we couldn’t have. Satan himself is the driver and he will soon be backing that trailer up to dump it on our very survivability. In the US, this fearsome truckload of misery left the loading dock on a journey called capitalism and is now reaching it’s inevitable end, a great human warehouse where the vast majority must suffer immensely, and soon impossibly, for the profit of the microscopic few. This journey could end no other way.

One of the most imminent of the troubles being brought to us is that there is a growing threat to our nation’s fresh water supply and if the reader happens to already be in one of the expanding areas of drought in the US – actually in the whole world – if the threat of water shortage isn’t already upon you as is the case for many, you are nevertheless coming up on a situation in which you may be about to be without water, or at least fighting desperately to keep your own. There are still places in the country that are not under immediate threat, but due to the upcoming environmental migrations that are about to send hosts of thirsty people into these refuges, they will soon be inundated. This is about as serious as it gets folks, and it’s not one of those things that will just go away, rainfall patterns of the last several decades and global climate changes have brought some of the most populated places in the country to absolute desertification – even US aquifers are being pumped dry.

Instead of a Chicken Little post of only gloom and despair, this article will also identify some levels of respite if we are brave enough to take the appropriate actions and do them quickly. One of the most obvious things that should be considered is desalination of ocean water. While acknowledging that this technology might create new problems, it’s an undeniable fact that it can be done and making drinking water available would seem to be the highest priority for the immediate future. The problems that may or may not arise from desalination are not as pressing as running out of water will be and will no doubt need to be addressed, but for now we need water – and lots of it. There just happens to be lots of it in the world’s oceans. Many pundits and “experts” claim that large-scale desalination is cost prohibitive, but we should look at the costs of desalination through the same lens the “authorities” use when they need to run a pipeline or power line through someone’s private property and consider the concept of eminent domain, where the “greater good” is served by appropriating someone’s property to serve public needs. Got it? There are several multi-billionaires with much “private property” in their bank accounts and stock portfolios that might need to be “appropriated” to finance giant water projects for the good of the whole country. Inarguably socialism, but socialism for everyone and not just the wealthy.

When we take an honest look at some of the contributing factors to the hydration loss dilemma we are increasingly experiencing, the very first thing we ought to consider are the huge volumes of water required to keep the billionaires’ pet projects, data centers, up and running. These demonic temples are the single worst advents of misery for mass populations in every respect. Data centers are the very last things our country needs to be installing as our nation faces these water shortages. Local leaders claim they provide jobs and they initially do, but so would desalination plants, especially in the numbers needed to stave off a national water crisis. The irony of the claim of jobs provided is that the very purpose of the data centers is to reduce jobs everywhere. Data centers ultimately will be used for exactly the most unwanted purpose and one that is antithetical to the concept of freedom – total surveillance. American patriots have died for our freedom over the centuries, and we should be putting up more of a fight against them before they completely enslave us and use up all of our water. Only a few ultra-wealthy Epstein class oligarchs who are in the primary business of serving Satan are building, and stand to benefit from them, and those insidious benefits for billionaires contravene everything we have fought and died for as a country. Their wealth should be appropriated and applied to the huge job creating installation of something crucial to public survival – desalination. Keep in mind that these billionaires couldn’t care less if the country runs out of water – by installing the water-wasting temples to attain to their planned immortality, they are showing it right now!

Another issue that is coming to fore which will likely be the greatest threat to American sovereignty in our history is the bill being pushed through congress by the likes of the execrable senator Tom Cotton which will eventually legally relegate total control of our military to the genocidal state of Israel, a country populated by interlopers from Europe who call themselves Jews but are not [Revelation 3:9]. Thanks to false prophets like John Hagee, many people in the US who like to think of themselves as Christians actually believe we should continue to support this evil Israeli government, and they have already essentially taken over our government, but we have heroes like Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna who are fighting a desperate battle to keep our country in American hands. We must support them – and all who denounce Israeli control of the US – for it is also predominately Zionist oligarchs who are installing the aforementioned Satanic temples innocently being called data centers. They could not care less if Americans run out of water – what they want is complete control – and enslavement of – Americans who they consider to be among the world’s animals. If you think this is preposterous nonsense, look again for the (total lack of) “benefit” of data centers to the American public. I fully expect the American (Gentile) people to be ordered to come to worship billionaires at the data centers someday soon. You can no longer water your flowers, in some places now you can’t even do your laundry, but the AI center must be kept running!

Water shortages and data centers, which go hand in hand, are some of the heaviest items of the load on that big dump truck, but the one I fear the most is the absolute Godlessness being thrust upon us. It’s everywhere. Ther are a lot of people and organizations which purport to be against the evil we are all seeing, but when they liberally season their narratives with vulgar expletives, they give themselves away as being on the side of the same enemy – just trying to gain public support and to get you to “like and subscribe” to the same Godlessness, just in a different form. I’m an old man now, but I’ve never seen a time when there are so many F bombs being dropped – even by the creature who purports to be our president! Think about it for a second – can you even imagine truly great men the likes of George Washington or James Madison (men to whom this imposter likes to compare himself) standing in front of women and children and using the despicable language this man uses? And I’ve heard people who claim to be Christians (MAGA, of course) swearing Trump was sent from God! Apparently, he even thinks he’s God! At least he wants his MAGA people to think so.

Of course there will not be a revolutionary building of water plants, though that would be a very practical way to avoid the desertification of our land. Rich men who have a pact with Satan and who own our politicians won’t allow it to happen. Right now they have all the power. There is however, a way to circumvent the arrival of the truckload of tribulation – at least for the individual – and that is to start by being perceptive enough to see that this had to happen and get right with Jesus Christ. We still may see some hard times, but we can take comfort in the absolute truth that when it’s over, when the last few drops of water sizzle away on the hot earth, we have a permanent Home to rely on where the River of Life runs eternally for our everlasting benefit and we will never thirst again! There is ample prophecy in the Scriptures to inform us that times on this old planet will get awful as Satan comes upon the end of his tenure as the god of this world, so we must expect that he will create some intolerable conditions as his time ends, but Jesus Christ offers something immensely better to those who choose to serve Him. Jesus is the only Way, and He has no tolerance for wealthy men who make life miserable for their fellow travelers and theirs will be a fearsome sentence at what (at least from this side) we might consider the end, but it will only be the beginning of a horrific eternity of torment for them. Their water-guzzling data centers will have burned to ashes and everyone who bowed to the evil one in this life – almost all for wealth – will burn in the fires of hell forever.

It’s a choice we all have to make, but as that big truckload of trouble keeps barreling toward us, we don’t have a lot of time left. Water’s running short and so is our time to decide.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

This might just be one of the most important posts on the condition of American affairs to appear on Folkpotpourri. I have, as have many others, been one of the staunchest critics of our current president, but I will not abandon my principles and criticize him further when he actually does something beneficial. This post is intended to get people to espouse the benefit of his recent decision to enter into a peace agreement with Iran and to explain as best I can – as a Christian and a patriotic American veteran – why we must support this effort.

It seems like everyone has jumped on the Zionist-fueled bandwagon of bemoaning Trump’s “surrender” to Iran. In addition to rejecting this false claim, this is a good opportunity to recognize whether or not media outlets are Zionist controlled opposition. When we hear an outlet decry the peace effort as a surrender, we can easily see that, because Israel is so vehemently against any peace effort at all, whatever outlet from which we hear about “Trump’s surrender”, the basis for the claim stems from a Zionist seed planted in Zionist soil and is fed with the propaganda of Zionist fertilizer, which by now we should all recognize as the bovine excrement it is. Leftist and progressive institutions need to be very careful of climbing aboard the “surrender” wagon just as a way to get at Trump – this is a bigger issue than simply an opportunity to bash Trump, and it must be regarded as such.

The fact is, whatever the basis for a peace agreement, as long as it holds, innocent people are not dying. This alone should encourage those of us who claim righteous opposition to (any) war to support it. Another fact that might be slipping under the radar is that almost the entire Zionist-controlled congress (and media) has gone up in arms against the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) which is supposed to be a precursor to talks on a permanent peace arrangement. When a congress creature stands up and screams about this “surrender”, they are simply making such noise to attract the attention of their AIPAC donors, nothing more. This is a perfect opportunity to see the vast chasm that separates true American progressives from those Democrat Zionists who wear blue only as an outward sign of opposition to red, not a demonstration of actual progressive opposition to some stupid war.

Prior to February of this year, Iran had not attacked any other nation. Nevertheless, the Zionists have for decades warned Americans of Iran’s impending threat to the world, and since they own all American media, that message has gotten through to the less informed, but mass sectors of the public sufficiently to create public opposition to a nation that has not threatened belligerence to anyone. Iran does, however, possess a significant military capability which potentially stands as an impediment to Israel’s planned takeover of the middle east, and truth be told, that’s the core issue of this whole mess. Note that Netanyahu continues to attack civilians in Lebanon in order to get Iran to respond and thereby destroy the agreement between the US and Iran. In addition to – and in support of – the usual land theft by Israel, it’s American force against Iran he’s always after. What it amounts to is the fact that Iran is the only country in the Middle East that will not bow to the domination of Israeli Zionists and they are enraged about it. They aren’t sufficiently powerful to defeat Iran militarily so they must rely on their Zionist dominated government in the US to do it for them. They are gambling that Zionist power in the halls of the US congress is powerful enough to get this done. It is therefore, our duty as patriotic Americans and voters to pressure congress to ensure that another conflict with Iran does not ensue at the Zionist’s behest.

Since Iran has courageously opted to include and protect Lebanon in the agreement in effort to prohibit Israeli aggression against the Lebanese people, Israel is finally showing why they so desperately needed America to go to war with Iran – because Iran is the only Middle Eastern nation with the willingness and the wherewithal to protect also Israel’s neighbors – from Israel! It’s very important for American proles to understand what’s going on – Israel has been working for decades on their Satanic “greater Israel project” which requires them to steal and occupy land from several nations, including the cowardly Egypt and Turkey, either or both of which could be of immense support for the protection of themselves and other Arab nations in the Israeli crosshairs, especially at a time as critical as the present, but Sisi and Erdogan are apparently on the Mossad (or CIA, same difference) payroll and do nothing but bluster right now and Iran is the only one brave enough to stand up against the Zionists. These countries’ turn will come eventually, and when it does, they will be flummoxed and perplexed at why their own neighbors stand by, watch and do nothing (like they did during the Iran war). It’s what ultimately happens to anyone who chooses to be “friends” with a state that, by it’s very Satanic nature can have no friends. Ask Trump right now.

The whole purpose of this article is to get the attention of the reader to what’s going on right now, so they are not fooled by these AIPAC-controlled politicians and Zionist-controlled media who are screaming about Trump’s “surrender”. It’s not a surrender – it’s an attempt to correct a major blunder by incompetent leaders who allowed themselves to be sucked in to a conflict they were convinced would be a slam dunk. In this agreement, whatever money will be committed to Iran is money of their own that has been in the hands of Zionist bankers in the US since the Iranian revolution. Said Zionist bankers do not want to give it up even though it belongs to Iran. That’s their way – they lie and steal to gain their prominence and leverage and always insist on their God-given right to keep it. Any deal with Iran by the US threatens to circumvent, or at least to delay a Zionist takeover of the Middle East, and eventually the whole world. Such a peace deal would be a golden opportunity to prevent their planned takeover.

The agreement must be between the US and Iran with Israel having no say in it – Israel sees any peace agreement or cease fire they agree to as an agreement from an adversary to stop firing at Israel, but one that always gives Israel impunity to keep firing at them. That’s the norm for a cease fire with the evil Zionists, and anyone gullible enough to sign a peace agreement with them is always in for more bloodshed. The only thing different in that regard is that Israel has to come up with some flimsy justification for why they must keep killing. They ALWAYS do! But what invariably follows is Western global condemnation to any enemy who “violates” the cease fire and shoots back! This feature of a cease fire with Israel will come back to bite them some day when an adversary, aware of the deceptiveness of the Zionist cease fire, finally understands that instead of a peace agreement, dissolution of the whole country might be the only way to ensure the Zionist doesn’t break it.

Stop falling for the “Trump surrender” scam – it’s just the latest Zionist trick to fool Americans. Getting out of this conflict just might be the only thing Trump has done at this point in two terms that we all should fully support as America-first Americans. It’s time we throw off the yoke of Zionism in the US government, and Democrats and Republicans alike should get behind it. Iran is not, nor has it ever been any threat to the US, it only stands as a courageous impediment to Zionist control of the Middle East, and eventually even the world. We must stand against this Zionist plan, even if it does require us to support Russia and China. If any of our adversaries overcome us, I’d much rather be under the control of Putin of Xi than Netanyahu, whose country routinely uses brutality, starvation, rape and torture as common practices on unfortunate people they dominate. Zionist rabbis reinforce their execrable behavior by assuring their soldiers they are allowed to brutalize and/or rape their Gentile victims on claims of God’s permission to do so.

The same Zionists who are now opposing Donald Trump are the ones installing all the water-guzzling data centers in order to consummate their control over American citizens through the creation of a total surveillance state. The Ellison demon said as much in a discourse on total surveillance of Americans. When they get complete control using such nefarious devices as MAGA and Christian Zionism (whatever that is), the Zionist authorities will then be in control of American citizens and treat everyone here with the same mendacious contempt and brutality they treat the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. They do not plan to stop until they have complete control over the whole world, and if they can secure their domination of America, they will get there, so plan on some tough times ahead for the Gentile citizenry. (At least the Europeans, especially Spain, are catching on and rejecting Zionist influence in their nations.) With all their wealth they already control the US government and law enforcement (think ICE), and they have no plans to stop. This is Satan’s plan to get the beast system implemented and wealthy Zionists are his tools.

Give credit where it’s due, and do not allow the bad guys to paint Trump as having “surrendered”. This war needs to be over no matter what it takes short of ceding our country, but isn’t that what we’re already doing by giving up control of our government to the Zionists? We already know who the congressional traitors to America are by their congressional positions and votes. We must keep and reference all of their votes – past and present – on Zionist issues as well as the amounts of money they take from AIPAC and other Zionist institutions. They all are “advised” by AIPAC and only vote for issues that benefit Israel or wealthy Zionists in America. They are traitors to God and America, and if you are a regular Folkpotpourri reader, you’ll know this writer doesn’t reference God lightly. Many American congressmen and women are entertaining demons and supporting demonic efforts, because fighting against something that has opportunity to stop a war and killing of innocent people by disparaging it as a “surrender” is a page right out of the Zionist playbook.

Don’t think of it as a surrender – it’s nothing close – as Christians (and moral people of other persuasions) we must think of it as an agreement that will save innocent lives. Also, we have to be thinking of ways we can rid our nation of the Satanic temples they call data centers. If those things get installed the way they want them, Americans – especially Christians – are in big trouble.

The best way for Trump to begin to gain back his flagging support in today’s America would be to break with Israel, and his support would start happening at the grass roots because we are all tired of our leaders licking the boots of the Synagogue of Satan!

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

This post was first published some time ago, but current events suggest it might be worth considering once again.

It was a nice cool sunny morning with some blue birds soaking up the sun, all in a row on the high wire.  It took some time to figure out what happened.  There were a few low rumbles, they seemed to be coming from north of here.  We live on a farm out in the wooded hills of southern Missouri, and north would be up towards St Louis.  Soon as the booming sounds started the power went off.  At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but with all the military stirrings going on in the world these days, you just don’t know what to expect.

I went inside the house, but with the power off there’s no internet, so no way to find out what’s going on.  At least until the power comes back on, or until I get the generator started up.  More distant thunderous booms that echo now less like thunder and more like tremendous explosions – and I’m starting to get worried.  My kids are at work and the grandkids are in school.  I swear I‘m seeing sparks and smoke coming from under the hood of my car, but it’s not running.  Now the power line where those bluebirds were singing looks like it’s getting really hot and smoke is coming from the bucket transformer on the poles.  Wow! The transformer just blew up sending a shower of sparks and molten metal flying all around the pole!  I can hear blasts all over the countryside from more pole transformers exploding.  All the fences are sparking and smoking.  The woods around the power lines and transformers are starting to go up in extremely violent flames.  And the cars are now on fire – all of them!  Even the old broken-down ones out in people’s pastures.  Our emergency generators are smoking – I’ve got to get them away from the houses before they burn up.

Now I’ve got an idea of what’s happening, because I’ve heard of what an EMP event could do to electrical circuits.  Electromagnetic Pulse.  That’s what happens when a nuclear weapon explodes.  The only other thing I can think of that would do this is a coronal mass ejection from a solar flare.  It happened back in 1859 and it was named the Carrington Event.  Fortunately, the world did not have much electrical infrastructure back then, just telegraphs, and the induced currents caused the wires to catch fire – sort of like what’s happening to the power lines out here right now.  I don’t think it’s a solar event either, because the warmongers in Washington have been beating the nuclear drums for a while, and I’ve been afraid the Russians were going to get spooked and do a first strike.  I guess this is it.

A big problem for those of us who might survive a while because we live in areas that aren’t targets is that we lose all sources of information. We don’t have any way of knowing what’s happening.  Don’t know if it’s a first strike or a retaliatory strike.  Does Washington DC even exist anymore, or is it just a huge radioactive smoking crater?  Are those beautiful, magnificient buildings of the Kremlin still standing?

How many of our big cities are destroyed?  I remember seeing pictures of the devastation that was Nagasaki and Hiroshima when that monster Truman murdered all those Japanese civilians, and thinking that those bombs were tiny compared to what the psychopaths have in their arsenals today – the Russians have bombs that could literally flatten New York City and/or Houston.  I cannot, nor can anyone else, begin to fathom the destruction of a 10 or 20 megaton thermonuclear weapon could wreak on a major city.

Lights go off and then nothing.  No TV; no internet.  No football – the treasury department that writes all the government checks is gone.  Fear-crazed citizens make runs on Wal Marts and grocery stores and take everything they can.  No one tries to stop them; the store employees are in a panic to get home.  Problem is, with no operable vehicles, the only things people can take are what they can carry by hand.  Everyone has to walk, even the police are stranded out on the highways.  All troopers, city cops, and sheriff deputies are trying desperately to get home to their loved ones.  No cops on duty anymore.  No traffic moving anymore.  Just lots of people running, screaming, hoping they can just get home, and that there still is a home.   

Fires are blazing everywhere from the powerlines and transformers exploding.  All electrical substations in the country are smoldering and blazing chaos.  Forest fires are rampant and out of control all over the nation and there are no operable fire trucks.  No firefighting planes or helicopters are available to fight the fires.  Houses hundreds of miles away from the many ground zeros are burning both from the unchecked wildfires, and from EMP induced electrical shorts in home wiring.  Almost every building in every town is on fire with no way to put them out.  And these towns are far away from the targeted places where the bombs actually hit.  This is truly a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions, the like of which has never been witnessed in all of human history. There will never be electricity in this country again.  Let that sink in.  Freezers will thaw out and food will ruin.   Untold thousands of people will perish, starting with those vaporized, then those being burned up in their homes, and there are no fire departments available to help anyone.  No hospitals; doctors and nurses are gone, understandably abandoning useless smoldering medical facilities.  No industry, no UPS deliveries, no more dog food for the pups.  If your house didn’t burn to the ground, at least you may (for a while) have a (dark) shelter from the elements.   

Huge blasts of radioactive winds blow hundreds of miles from the explosions, of which there have been many.  The first wave was intended to take out the military establishment.  No way of knowing, but there’s no reason to believe that anything remains of the pentagon, DC or Langley, Norfolk, San Diego, Chicago, Houston, or any of the coastal cities where there are refineries.  All cities with military infrastructure of any kind will be destroyed.  The joke that has been for years a missile defense system has been exposed. The sick joke that a nuclear war could be “winnable” has also been exposed.  The numbers of people succumbing to radiation sickness is beyond belief.   There will be no schools, no stores, no food, and no government services; no disaster relief will be forthcoming.  All banks will have ceased to function, so even if there is any money left, it won’t be worth anything. The bankers never were.

If you take medications to stay alive, you’d best have a good supply, because there won’t be any more.  All livestock will either be dead from radiation, burned to a crisp in the fires, or promptly slaughtered by starving survivors, and it doesn’t matter to whom they belonged.  Same with property.  People will no longer obey private property signs, they will go anywhere they think there might be resources, food, water, at the risk of their lives, which aren’t worth much right now anyway.  There will be no law!

Every military ship on and under the ocean, with the likely exception of a few submarines, will be sunk.  All of the nuclear-powered ships will go to the bottom with reactors likely damaged, spewing radioactive contamination.  Like dozens, maybe hundreds, of Fukushimas.  Even the reactors that aren’t damaged will undergo meltdowns with no controls. The bible says that something will kill all of the fishes in the oceans, maybe this is how that happens.   

The USSR detonated a bomb of around 50-megaton yield back in 1961.  It was called the Tsar Bomba.  The weapon had a 100-megaton capacity, but for safety they modified the yield.  Awe inspiring is just too mild of a description of what that looked like.  Since the bomb was so powerful, they calculated that the plane that dropped it had only a 50 percent chance of surviving – that is even after the plane released the weapon several thousand feet up in the air with a parachute to slow it down while the plane flew away from the scene at full speed.  It did almost destroy the plane – they said the blast wave overtook the plane some 45 miles from the explosion and it lost over a kilometer of altitude before the pilot, Andrey Durnovtsev, could regain control and keep it from crashing.  That thing made a mushroom cloud 37, yes 37 miles, (60 km) high!  An uninhabited village, Severny, 34 miles (55 km) from ground zero was obliterated, and buildings 100 miles away were damaged!  The blast would have caused third degree burns 62 miles (100 km) from the explosion.   I would expect if they still have these in their arsenal, they would use one on Cheyenne Mountain.  It would probably take out Denver and Amarillo, TX and certainly everything in between.  Instantly vaporized.  What are our “leaders” thinking?

It sounds crazy, but if this happens, I want to be at one of the ground zeros.  As bad as being vaporized sounds, it would be infinitely better than surviving into the nightmarish existence that would ensue.  There will be marauding gangs of survivors, undoubtedly armed, in various stages of hunger, disease, emaciation, and injury.  It will probably be a situation where anyone you encounter will be apt to kill you.  For one thing, they won’t know whether you are out to kill them too, or maybe you have something they want/need to survive.  A can of tuna or a bowl of beans might cost your life. 

The landscape will be nightmarish.  Imagine a few days or weeks after the event.  There will be burned out stumps on land that was beautiful forest, now riddled with stagnant pools of black muddy radioactive slime, full of human and animal bones, charred flesh, and entrails.  Few buildings will exist intact, and many will perish fighting over them.  There will be no light at night.  Light would attract unwanted guests.  No music.  No one will have any idea what’s going on.   There may be a few survivors in places like subway tunnels, abandoned train cars, or in remote wilderness areas, but such people will have resorted to the basest of behavior, including cannibalism, in short order.  Imagine!  Human beings who once inhabited a civilized nation and lived decent lives will have to worry about being killed and eaten by other human beings!  Zombie apocalypse, just with regular people, not zombies, although with burns and wounds, hair falling out and all out of sorts with radiation poisoning, they probably will look the part.

I have heard people talking like they plan to survive and stay healthy by hunting and foraging.  Well, if a nuclear winter follows a nuclear apocalypse, foraging is going to be slim pickings.  And the deer won’t last long if they manage to survive the bombs, radiation, and fires, there’ll probably only be a few very unhealthy specimens left, but if a gunshot rings out, I’m pretty sure it will attract whatever starving people hear it, so there might be more to deal with than just dressing a deer.

Bedraggled survivors will wander in shock around former cities in hopes of disaster relief which will never come.  Desperate people will offer anything – gold, jewelry, ammunition, their own bodies, for sustenance.  Helpless parents will watch in horror as their children starve, hoping against hope that they will awaken from this nightmare, but when this all comes down, it’ll be too late for them.

And we still won’t know what happened.  Who decided that a nuclear war would be a good idea? Who “won” the war?  Did any of our leaders survive to sign a surrender, and to whom?  Or did Russia or China surrender?  Will there be hordes of soldiers from some faraway land invading our country after the radiation dies down?

And what of the wealthy folk who built the magnificent bunkers filled with the necessities of life in which to wait out the nuclear winter?  Do they actually believe they will emerge into a second garden of Eden complete with succulent fruit trees and minstrels singing their praises?  First of all, the bible speaks of a great earthquake, such as has not occurred since people have been on earth, so I think a big part of those individuals will be entombed in those lavish bunkers.  So maybe a few do survive, and after some months, maybe a few years tucked away, they stumble blindly onto the surface, a hardly recognizable landscape littered with human skulls, burned out cars and buildings, and destroyed terrain.  When they went into the holes, they were wealthy, but after what has transpired, of the few commoners left, no one will be interested in their gold – and those old bank accounts?  Well the digital age has completely and utterly vanished, and all those millions or billions they had on their ledgers is now squat.  Even by this time, there will undoubtedly still be a few scroungy survivors, but instead of the fawning proles these rich folks were used to in the old world, those survivors will undoubtedly have a taste for some well-fed and plump upper crust brisket, so thanks for preserving some.  It won’t help their situation any when they discover that some of the survivors actually know they caused, or at least played a part in causing the disaster.  The scenario described does not take into account the likelihood that hapless survivors will undoubtedly spend their time searching for air vents to the bunkers in which to pour gasoline or whatever else they can find to upset living conditions in said refuges down below.  Any who survive this carnage will be on a mission and will not easily be placated!

Who knows what the final outcome will be.  How many millions, or hundreds of millions of people will be counted among the slain?  When this calamity happens, it will obviously involve the deaths of millions.  This destruction, I believe is prophesied as the destruction of the modern Babylon in Revelation 18, and most people I’ve heard seem to think (as I do) that the place named as Babylon is the United States, and it is utterly destroyed in the space of one hour, by fire!  Completely devastated to the point that (verse 22) “the music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again,” and “no worker of any trade will ever be found in you again,” this decadent place will cease to be! According to scripture, it’s not a bad thing that this evil place is destroyed. “Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgement she imposed on you.”

Time will tell, but I’m afraid we don’t have much.

I was walking in the wood late in evening, enjoying wild birdsong and dining on a delicious landscape of somber hardwood seasoned with a dash of savory ice on branches now long bereft of rattling leaves, and as I approached a stream of hard and silent water, there boldly came an apparition upon my reverie. It was an ageless man of whom I felt no dread, yet anticipation of his purpose consumed any thought I might entertain to ignore or depart from him.

It was plain from his dress and demeanor that he was a soldier, adorned in a crisp blue long coat with the boldest of black threefold hats. His trousers were of white cotton and bore no scratch or mark of his trek in the wood, nor were any brass buttons missing from his breast. Perplexion was fixed upon his countenance as he stared at me and in his presence, strange thoughts of shame of long-endured passivity weighed heavily on my bearing. “From whence”, said he, “do ye hail, who so casually tread this wood? Is it not the same land upon which I, among thine forbears and fathers shed my blood to provide thee with a sacred and free republic?”

Fright, not at his presence, but at his seeming insistence for answer, overwhelmed my heart as I could but stammer words that might be interpreted that, indeed, this was a continuum of that hallowed land. As I stood in awe of such bewilderment as he displayed, it came to me that he wept silently as he spoke words which pierced my heart with arrows from a former time, a time when this nation was but in it’s youth. “Doth not the same God redeem thy souls, is not the Savior of man the same in this day as He of long ago? Hast thy people forgotten the valor with which we of hope and incredible vigor and relying on Providence braved deadly volleys of rank musket and cannon balls to gain thy sovereignty and prosperity? How then, has an evil enemy so stealthily crept upon, and forsooth, overtaken this nation today?”

“This is a place beyond that land which you secured,” at last spake I, “As years passed, lesser men of lesser heart appeared, gained status endowed of evil by mammon, and came tempted, as knowledge of vast tracts beyond the nation you knew, came about, by great deceit and dishonor, to wrest from rightful owners the abundant and fruitful lands beyond that which your army secured.” As my confidence waxed, I continued, “He of Providence was denied, yet might of weapons from whence malicious heat from the forges of Satan’s armouries had not yet dissipated, were put to use to diminish, to defeat and yea, to slay those by whom fair title was claimed.”

“As scores of years became centuries, all but the Creator forgot the wicked abrogation of treaties once foreordained to be honored as leaders continued in moral decline, and colonial appropriation of lands and nations increased the world over, but especially in his nation – descendants of those peoples with whom your leaders treated were slain and imprisoned and vanished into memory. Indeed, the banner under which your drums sounded amid the blue-white smoke of cannon is changed now, by many added insignias to that number of thirteen by which your blood gained liberty.

“Must thee and thy progeny, therefore, be thus accursed as to receive upon thyself such waxing theft and murder as this which ye bear witness and yet lift not thy hand to resist? In mine years, would neither citizen nor soldier deign approach the Almighty Creator for prayer belabored with such cowardice weighed upon his conscience. And now in another place ye witness again the theft of lands and slaughter of rightful owners and say nought for fear.”

“I shall now return whence I have dwelt nigh four and a half hundreds of years and once more watch, share tears with those with whom I served, for my own blood and that of my companions, forbears of yesteryear, that ye should so lightly and cowardly abandon, yea and forsake, the sovereignty of this land for which we fought and died. Farewell, yet still pray thee for thy long-ignored want of Providence.” As his last words sadly reached my ears, he began to walk away as he cried now aloud, slowly and completely evaporated into the woodland, but his wailing cries echoed, and if one listens, especially on days when those who purport to lead us slavishly perform acts of obeisance to – and among – our enemies, his piteous cries can still be heard.
