Ever since Donald Trump came down the golden escalators of Trump Tower in New York to announce his candidacy for president of the United States, many observers of politics and history have wondered, what next? Many of us, who consume political and world news like we do air, realized this was a historical moment, and all hell would be breaking loose if Trump somehow managed to win over Hillary Clinton.
Now, with the release of the John Durham Report, it is clear for all to see that the Deep State was engaged in a silent coup against Donald J. Trump. It began as a coup against candidate Trump, continued as a coup against President-elect Trump, and persisted as a coup against President Trump holding our highest office. The release of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report revealed that this was much more than the usual political dirty tricks and shenanigans. This was very much a coup-d’état or silent coup. This was a high crime.
Before we continue, it is important to understand terms that many of us are not familiar with because, until now, they have not been an issue.
What is an insurrection?
The Democrats falsely labeled the January 6 protests as an “armed insurrection.” Nobody came to the Capitol armed and by CNN’s own definition of protests from the “Summer of Love” 2020, the protest was “mostly peaceful”. The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the President to deploy the military to suppress a rebellion. President Trump asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she wanted him to call out the National Guard before that date arrived, and she declined.
Punishment for insurrection or rebellion can include up to 10 years in prison and the inability to hold public office.
What is a coup or coup d’état?
Dictionary.com defines a coup as “a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.” In short, it means to overthrow a government. Democrats have argued elements of January 6, 2021 events met the definition of an attempted coup. But if you consider the genuine possibility they stole the election after vote count processing mysteriously stopped the morning of November 4, 2020, they are the ones guilty of a silent coup. Keep in mind that Trump was ahead before the vote counting stopped and behind as soon as it continued.
Punishment for an attempt to overthrow a government by coup includes up to 20 years in prison and ineligibility for federal employment for the next five years.
The Deep State globalists, including the Fourth Branch of government (FBI/DOJ/DHS/NSA/CIA), engaged in a conspiratorial plot against Donald Trump from the moment he announced his candidacy. This was a coup committed as a white collar crime by people with positions of status. They all appear guilty of not putting the interests of the United States over those of the globalist elites and their own.
Most observers speculate the reason why this happened was that Donald Trump is a true patriot who believes in America’s sovereignty and was not going to allow a One World government on his watch. He believes in “America First” and was tired of seeing our country and its citizens (as taxpayers) getting the short end of the stick. He saw the issues of global climate change, overpopulation, health care, endless wars, mass starvation, mass poverty, and pandemics all as ploys to lead the world to allow a One World government. Therefore, a silent coup was the result and it was perpetrated by the Democrats, all four branches of government, as well as the mainstream media (to sell it to the public).
The bombshell of the Durham report revealed Hillary Clinton’s campaign contracted out with third parties to not only spy on candidate Trump’s emails and computer usage during his campaign but to hack into and spy on President-elect thereafter, as well as his computer/email/online usage as President in the White House! So a non-government group from the Hillary Clinton Campaign appears to have illegally spied on a legitimately elected and seated president of the United States by hacking into his computer servers. That is a felony.
So this was done, the Fourth Branch of government was in on it (How else do you hack a seated President’s computer?), and nobody has done anything about it. The Deep State, with cover from the Fourth Branch, ran a coup-d’état against a rightfully elected President during his entire presidency. Some would call this treason and sedition. Regardless, this is a felony.
Many Americans from all political walks of life do not trust our government. Americans today believe the Deep State government of Joe Biden is no longer just a “conspiracy theory” anymore.
Those involved need to be held accountable.

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.
