(End of the American Dream)—A lot of big names have been killed in the Middle East during the past 12 months, but the death of Hassan Nasrallah is something completely different. As you will see below, he was believed to be a direct descendant of Muhammed. In Shia Islam, this is a really, really big deal. An attack on Nasrallah is literally considered to be an attack on the family of Muhammad himself, and this is why we are witnessing so much rage in Islamic nations all over the world right now. I don’t know why hardly anyone in the western world is talking about this. For Shia radicals, there must be vengeance for the death of Nasrallah. There simply is no other option.
A lot of people in the western world seem to think that Nasrallah is just another terrorist that died and that he will soon be forgotten.
That isn’t how it works in Shia Islam.
As the Jerusalem Post has accurately observed, the death of Nasrallah is “nothing short of a seismic event in the Middle East”…
The strike on the bunker of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is nothing short of a seismic event in the Middle East. With Israel having shifted the rules of the game, what comes next? The risk of a broader conflict has risen, but there are also opportunities for a comprehensive settlement—everything now hinges on Hezbollah’s response.
The central headquarters for Hezbollah was way underground, and so the IDF had to use more than 80 one-ton bombs to destroy it…
According to Israeli media, over 80 one-ton bombs were used to “dig” deep into the ground and reached Hezbollah’s high command bunker, located under six apartment buildings that were completely flattened.
If you are convinced that Hezbollah will back down after this, you don’t understand how they think.
Nasrallah was greatly loved by his people because they believed that he was a direct descendant of Muhammad. The following comes from Wikipedia…
Nasrallah was often referred to as “al-Sayyid Hassan” (السيد حسن), the honorific “Sayyid” denoting a claim of descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandson Husayn ibn Ali.
To those that believe in Shia Islam, Nasrallah was a living, breathing link to the founder of their faith.
Nasrallah had three sons, and he actually named two of them after his very famous ancestor…
Nasrallah is survived by his wife, Fatima Yassin. He also has three sons Jawad, Mohammed-Mahdi and Mohammed Ali, and a daughter Zeinab, as well as several grandchildren.
In Shia Islam, there is a widespread belief that an apocalyptic figure known as “the Mahdi” will appear in our day and time.
It is also believed that the name of “the Mahdi” will be “Muhammed”, and so that is why so many Islamic parents give that name to their male children.
Following the death of Nasrallah, Joe Biden used the term “justice” to describe what just happened…
The White House has finally put out a statement by early Saturday afternoon. President Biden has called Nasrallah’s death ‘justice’ for the hundreds of Americans who perished over what the US called a ‘four-decade reign of terror’.
“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror. His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians,” Biden said. The White House says the Pentagon has been ordered to enhance America’s defense posture and readiness in the Middle East.
There are thousands of Shia Muslims in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that will never vote for Kamala Harris after reading that.
Joe Biden doesn’t seem to understand that this wasn’t just the death of yet another terrorist leader.
The death of Nasrallah changes everything. Hezbollah isn’t going to back down after this.
Instead, they are going to go completely nuts.
On Saturday, Hezbollah caused “the broadest rocket alerts Israel has seen during the war so far”…
Large parts of the nation were targeted by Hezbollah rocket fire on Saturday, causing the broadest rocket alerts Israel has seen during the war so far, following the Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday evening.
Starting hours after the strike on Nasrallah Hezbollah began firing small rocket barrages at northern Israel. On Saturday morning, they sharply intensified their attacks by launching two ballistic missiles and multiple rocket salvos.
Of course it isn’t just Hezbollah that is steaming mad.
On Sunday, thousands of Iraqi protesters tried to storm the U.S. embassy in Baghdad…
Thousands of Iraqi protesters attempted to storm the US Embassy in Baghdad’s highly secure Green Zone on Saturday, soon after Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s major Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called strike on Nasrallah “a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all the red lines.”
In Pakistan’s largest city, police were desperately trying to keep a mob of crazed rioters from overrunning the U.S. consulate located there…
Clashes took place Sunday evening in Pakistan’s largest city of Karachi as local police tried to disperse protesters who marched towards the city’s US Consulate to mourn the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
Video on social media showed police firing tear gas and warning shots, with protesters throwing stones and trying to cross barriers blocking access to the US Consulate.
The protests were led by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen, a Pakistani Shi’a Islamic political organization which told CNN that their nationwide protests were “peaceful.”
And the Iranian government is vowing that there will be revenge…
Iran’s supreme leader has said the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “will not go unavenged”, a day after he was killed in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced five days of mourning in Iran in response to what he called the “martyrdom of the great Nasrallah”, describing him as “a path and a school of thought” that would continue.
Iranian media reported that a Iranian Revolutionary Guards general was also killed in the Israeli strikes in Beirut on Friday.
Of course Israel is not going to back down either.
In fact, the IDF took out yet another “high-ranking Hezbollah official” on Sunday…
The Israeli military said Sunday it has killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike as the Lebanese militant group was reeling from a string of devastating blows and the killing of its overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The military said Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central Council, was killed on Saturday. Hezbollah confirmed his death, making him the seventh senior Hezbollah leader slain in Israeli strikes in a little over a week. They include founding members who had evaded death or detention for decades.
And the Israelis also just hit the Houthis really, really hard…
Israel said it bombed Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday, expanding its confrontation with Iran’s allies in the region two days after killing the Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an escalating conflict in Lebanon.
The airstrikes on Yemen’s port of Hodeidah were in response to Houthi missile attacks on Israel in recent days, Israel said, amid fears that Middle East fighting could spin out of control and draw in Iran and Israel’s main ally the United States.
There is no turning back now. All-out war is on the doorstep, and the U.S. State Department has just issued a very ominous order…
The US State Department on Saturday ordered the families of embassy personnel in Beirut to leave the country and authorized the departure of some staff, as the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalates.
The department ordered the departure “due to the increased volatility following airstrikes within Beirut and the volatile and unpredictable security situation throughout Lebanon,” it said. All US citizens were urged to leave “while commercial options still remain available.”
They know what is coming.
This is the big Middle East war that I have been warning about, and only one side will be left standing when it is all over.
When there are two opponents that are willing to do whatever it takes to win no matter the cost, that creates a situation where events can spiral out of control very, very easily.
We should all be deeply saddened by what is about to happen, because very large numbers of people are about to die.

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.
And Muhammad was a pedophile.
Well this confirms Muhammad did not invent Islam as a religion of peace if his descendent is such a terrorist. But we who are free-thinking seekers of the truth knew this all along
How dare you kill the guy leading the people trying to kill you! Now we really want you dead!
That’s sarcasm for the sarcastically impaired.
Michael Snyder has very little understanding of the relevant wisdoms necessary to comment on these topics . . . the Holy Tongue, Aramaic, authentic Scripture, the commentaries . . . that is why he writes incessantly in generalities to frighten the masses and entice the curious.
He is a fraud. Rucker is a huckster.
Truth is often painful to accept…
The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree but it did fall….lol
Burn in hell with all your descendants.
This is why these subhuman animals should never be allowed near a weapon or trust.
Always watch your six.
It appears you don’t any relevant wisdom to comment on anything, tough guy.
I could see some true in your words if proven. For me, I sometimes think, how can one individual know so much about so many things. But I grant him the benefit of not knowing better myself, but I can certainly see if he was wrong – most likely in the details, if someone pointed it out. Be well though.
Hey Ploni, how about you and your holy tongue go take a leap over a chasm in two jumps. Rucker doesn’t try to frighten the masses but this religion of peace does.
Only if Muhammad had sex with a goat…
…he did…AOC…
Well, crank up the Time Machine Jasper and we,ll send a small Blacks Ops team back and nip the last 500 years of Misery (in that part of the world) in the Bud!! Nip It, nip it!!
Send in the A team, Obama, Hillary and Bill!
The road ahead might get a little bumpy, but the less terrorist SCUM on this planet, the less bumpy it will become. Like everything else, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. ABOUT TIME. I’d rather it were yesterday than today – but Gen X is not kicking cans down the road like previous generations did. The IDF is doing GOD’s work (as opposed to “Allah” who is the Great Deceiver). The descendant of a Middle Eastern “Pancho Villa” kiddie-diddler is dead. BOO HOO. Ancient Chinese Proverb: May all the rest of Muhammed’s descendants be given an express ticket to the lake of fire. The cost in blood and tears is more than worth eliminating every last Jihadi on Earth. The innocent ones caught in between are few, for if they were not they would have overthrown these vile animals that are lording over them long ago – at the very least spoken out in protest (like the strong women of Iran, for example). Silence is complicity and COWARDICE. Anybody who falls in that category who doesn’t get out when God’s Israel drops leaflets warning another bomber run is imminent, deserve what they get. October 7th will not be forgotten or forgiven. These scum asked for it and, buddy they got their wish. God speed them on their way to Hell.
It’s easy for Diaper Don Biden to flip the bird and poke the nest on his way to retirement on Rehobeth Beach.
The rest of us will be left holding a hand grenade
With all of the terrorist leaders meeting their deserved ends “paradise” will be short of the 72 virgin packages.
And it would seem that the Islamic world is filling up with anniversaries to “celebrate”. Oct 7 is one such anniversary.
Patriots…..keep your rifles handy with extra mags ready. Something may happen on the order of Kurt Schlichter’s ‘The Attack’.
Where can I send a ham sandwich? I want to do my part
what a load of BS. Everyone of these killers and destroyers is descended from the murdering rapist known as the prophet, at least according to them anyway.
Interesting. In my family one of our members went the full genealogy route and found out that on the round-eye side of my lineage I am traced and confirmed to be directly descended from one of the Mayflower Pilgrims. Now that was about 400 years ago and the genetic connection is infinitesimal.
Muhammad lived about 1600 years ago and noting that the keeping of vital statistics over that period of time in the absence of preserved archival records is dubious at best; I suspect that this is more Islamic agit-prop than anything else.
…look folks, the charade is over…and it should have been over 1,400 years ago…Muhammad wanted to ‘unite’ the nomadic Arabs of the middle east who fought each other continually over land for their goats and camels…Muhammad saw that the Crusaders were coming their way east bound and he wanted to form a ‘common defense’ against them…so he took the Moon-god ‘Allah’ and the Hebrew Torah (Genesis-Exodus-Leviticus-Numbers-Deuteronomy) and plagiarized them to fit his interpretation of the Torah (first five books of the Old Testament and inserted the Arabs pagan faith their Moon-god establishing the Islamic Cult…it began as a lie and continues to this day as a lie…when Muhammad died he did not appoint a successor to his cult causing his son and his nephew to bitterly fight for this prestigious position…thus the Shia clan and the Sunni clan…both are Muslims, but hate each other and have killed each other over the centuries by the millions only to bond together when it is time to kill the ‘infidel’ (non-Muslim)…once they have accomplished taking the ‘infidels land’ then they go back to killing one another again…Islam is a cult conceived by hate and destruction and continues to this day…

His name was Cassius Clay IV before he changed it.
That proves he was related to Muhammad.
…either way he wanted to be known as, in my humble opinion, he was The Best Heavy Weight Champion of the World…’float like a butterfly, sting like a bee’…and what a stinger he had…! admired his tactical advantage he had over his opponents…his boxing trainer and manager Angelo Dundee was also excellent in the strategy department of each fight…what a pair…! unbeatable !…miss those days…
Oh…ok. Now they can be in h 3 l l together.
There is no contemporary evidence that Muhammad ever lived, therefore neither can their be contemporary evidence of the consanguinity of his descendants.
In other words, even if Muhammad had been real (jury’s still out), and even if you really were his descendant, there’d be no way to prove it.
Wonder how many of Nasrallah’s grand mothers were married as pre-teens?
allah sent nasrallah to meet lucifer
In the land of no birth certificates and many lies, I doubt it.
