Perhaps I’m being too optimistic, but I think fewer people are buying into the hardcore cult propaganda that Marxist-globalists rain down on the world every day.
I see a few more rolled eyes around me when someone blames a thunderstorm on “climate change.” The last few stragglers of committed COVID-hyperventilators have taken off their paper masks when out in public (and have pleasantly discovered that abnormally rapid breathing disappears once dirty rags are removed from one’s face). I’ve heard more “trans”-enablers stating clearly that biological boys should not be in girls’ locker rooms or competing in their sports. More celebrities and academics (many of whom have proudly identified as atheists in the recent past) have begun to read the Bible and openly discuss the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Is the world healing? Has the ideological pendulum begun to swing back toward sanity? Have the Marxist-globalists dosed the world with so much propaganda over the years that the effectiveness of their lies is starting to fade? Does that mean the last century of Marxist-globalist sociological conditioning is beginning to wear off?
I think the lies that Marxist-globalists regularly tell have become too preposterous for the average person to swallow anymore.
Last week, the apocalypse-whisperer Al Gore was at a Hollywood “climate change” event honoring how wonderfully stupid all his celebrity friends are. Joined by The West Wing alum Bradley Whitford, both men discussed the likelihood that Earth will descend into another ice age in ten to twenty-five years. They referenced Roland Emmerich’s 2004 wintry disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, in describing what we should expect. Prepare for snowdrifts!
Listening to this kind of doomsaying-lunacy-bordering-on-sexual-fetish, the average person says to himself, “I thought you told us that ‘global warming’ was going to incinerate us? Now you’re predicting snow?” Gore’s wildly inaccurate, scaremongering, anti-science, fever dream, An Inconvenient Truth, predicted that the Arctic Ocean’s summer ice would be gone by 2013 (wrong!) and that Mt. Kilimanjaro would have no snow by 2015 (also wrong!).
The snake oil salesman who became filthy rich by selling disaster porn to the world promised that rising temperatures would soon (as in at least a decade ago!) leave Manhattan and Miami under twenty feet of water. Now, in 2026, apparently “global warming” is so last decade’s fashion, and we’re back to “global cooling” again! We already did “global cooling” during the 1970s! Does that mean bell-bottoms, disco, “blaxploitation” films, and kung fu will be making comebacks, too?
A century of the “little boy who cried wolf” telling us that using hydrocarbon fuels (or what the oh-so-educated “elites” among us call “fossil fuels” in order to pretend that everything runs on dinosaurs) would cause the planet to freeze…or perhaps burn…or maybe change our climate (Duh, the climate is always naturally changing, you idiots!)…or produce a tornado somewhere in the Midwest…has forced a lot of people to ask, “Why should we trust ‘The Science’ when ‘The Science’ sounds a lot like propaganda?”
When Marxist-globalists doubled down by turning a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, into the world’s leading authority on “climate science,” people capable of thinking beyond the limits of government programming finally had enough.
Then some people wondered: If man-made “global warming” is just a government scam meant to justify new taxes and more burdensome impositions upon personal freedom, what other lies might Marxist-globalists tell? Ding-ding-ding, welcome to COVID! Let’s be honest: A lot of people who had figured out the “Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change/Extreme Weather” Hoax should not have fallen for the COVID Hoax. Come on, guys; the Marxist-globalists ran the exact same apocalyptic playbook but turbocharged the pace: We regret to inform you that you will not die from “global warming” because you will all die from COVID…unless you do exactly what we say!
I know, I know…it’s really difficult to accept that “authority” figures really do lie to us all the time. I mean, what kind of people would shamelessly bankrupt small businesses while generating record profits for Amazon and Walmart? How luciferian must our degenerate “ruling class” be if it is willing to arrest Christians for attending church, while encouraging race hucksters to burn down cities in the name of “justice”? How psychopathic must our “leaders” be to bar people from comforting dying loved ones in hospitals or attending their funerals? Unfortunately for us, Marxist-globalists represent the apex class of shameless, luciferian, degenerate, psychopaths.
The one-two punch of the “Global Warming” Hoax and the COVID Hoax seemed to have opened up many eyes in the West. People who aren’t normally inclined to question government authority looked around and wondered, “Could these liars also be lying to us when they say that men have babies and women have penises?”
“Is it possible that taxpayer-funded NGOs launder money into politicians’ pockets?”
“Would the Southern Poverty Law Center really fund the Ku Klux Klan in order to cook up enough fake racism to stay relevant?”
You say enough of these things out loud, and you realize that the whole construct of Marxist-globalism consists of lies, fraud, new forms of control, and new taxes.
People are now waking up to a rather startling set of propositions: Marxist-globalist governments lie to them regularly. Those lies cause harm to citizens. When citizens complain, Marxist-globalist governments tell more lies and try to redirect blame (It’s Trump’s fault; It’s Putin’s fault; It’s that blasted ‘global warming’!). When citizens see through those lies, too, Marxist-globalist governments turn to the same blunt instrument that all totalitarian governments choose: censorship.
It is no coincidence that the United Kingdom (through the Online Safety Act) and the European Union (through the Digital Services Act) are building digital censorship infrastructure meant to keep citizens from talking about certain “taboo” topics (such as mass illegal immigration and the Islamic conquest of their nations) and prevent public debate about anything Marxist-globalist governments do. Canada (through the Online News Act) has made it similarly difficult for citizens to read any information that is contrary to official government propaganda.
Under the guise of “protecting the children,” Australia has implemented age-verification requirements for social media platforms. From its Harmful Digital Communications Act of 2015 to its more recent Safer Online Services project intended to regulate all online content, New Zealand is leading the charge among Western nations (at peace) in implementing total government control over (and censorship of) online speech. Among Western nations at war, Ukraine permits no online dissent to the edicts of its martial-law government.
Strangely, nobody in Europe finds it incongruous that Ukraine’s much-vaunted “defense of democracy” from Russian authoritarianism requires Ukrainian authoritarians to suppress basic democratic principles. Even in the United States — the nation with a First Amendment explicitly protecting free speech from government censorship — Democrats (an inappropriate political party name if ever there was one) are itching to resurrect the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board designed to censor — in the name of “national security” — anything that government bureaucrats deem as “misinformation,” “malinformation,” or “disinformation.”
All across the West, therefore, a similar chain of events is occurring: (1) Marxist-globalists have told so many lies that a critical mass of citizens has begun to notice. (2) As citizens push back against the lies of their Marxist-globalist governments, those governments are becoming increasingly hostile to citizens. (3) In defense of their own authority, Marxist-globalist governments now embrace censorship and the criminalization of private thoughts. (4) Citizens have begun to realize that their own Marxist-globalist governments are the greatest threat to their freedoms, security, and prosperity.
What happens next? Maybe (5): We take the whole Marxist-globalist freak-show down for good. It’s time to end their lies.
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
