America, if you care about the Country you will pass on to your children and your grandchildren, take note of the events unfolding in Canada, Iran, Northern Europe, China, and Brazil. Take a good hard look that you will not soon forget! The mass protests and upheaval reflect the desperation of citizens to be heard by governments who have no intention of listening. And none of this will change in an amicable, reasonable manner.
Whether the excuse of the moment offered by the leftist/globalist despots is “public health and safety” as is the case in China and Canada, enviro-lunacy (Northern Europe), fealty to a despotic “religious” order (Iran), or more stolen elections to empower the Marxist political machine in Brazil, common citizens are recognizing that their world is being pummeled into madness and tragedy by a callous and indifferent ruling class.
Those in power seek to fortify their positions, in service to their own interests, while the suffering and deprivation of that lowly peasantry (people like you and me) is, at most, an irritation that they would prefer to ignore. And that is how they intend to move forward.
Some common folk naively bought the notion that the “will of the people” would usher in an age of freedom and opportunity. Yet even despite that short-sighted caricature of “democracy,” devoid of worthy moral and spiritual principles to guide it, the ability of corrupt and seditious leftist players to defraud and cheat their way into positions of authority has set a dangerous precedent of sham elections that were once only the realm of backwards tinhorn dictatorships.
Back in another life, America played a central role on the world stage, as a government “of, by, and for the people,” actively bolstering the efforts of those who yearned to breathe free. But that was before our Nation succumbed to the wiles of the leftist counterculture, with its shameless sanctimony presented as the fig leaf over a truly vile ideology and agenda. It was not sufficiently excised when its dangerous nature first became evident. So, like any malignancy it has spread and grown in toxicity.
America in 2022 is no longer the “shining city on a hill.” For several years now, America has been abhorrently playing precisely the opposite role. And the devastation unleashed on innocent peoples throughout the world, who once looked to us as their heroic champions, is beyond words.
Under Barack Obama, freedom fighters in Iran were betrayed, as they sought help from the West to overthrow the illegitimate and repressive regimes of the Islamists. Sadly, Obama’s affections were (and still are) entirely in the camp of militant Islam. Rather than working to free the people of Iran, and neutralize its agenda of state sponsored terrorism throughout the region, he sided with the Islamists and fully supported the murderous, hate-filled government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Immediately upon consolidating his power, Ahmadinejad began rounding up and executing his political opposition.
Last winter, a similar pattern of treachery emerged from the Biden Cabal (likely with Obama pulling the strings here as well). As Canadian truckers courageously rallied against the arbitrary and excessive lockdowns and vax mandates of the Trudeau government, the US began demanding that something be done to suppress the protests on the grounds that American auto manufacturers were feeling the effects. Rather than insisting that this Hemisphere be restored to freedom and justice by lifting the onerous orders, the call came from Washington to simply confront and disperse the truckers. In short, a demand was made for a despotic exercise of power in Ottawa, in order to put down the rebellion.
Similar rumblings are currently being heard from the Biden Cabal in regards to the upheaval in Brazil, where the good citizens of that Nation are refusing to accept the results of their own, obviously stolen election. Massive protests, on a scale never seen previously, are occurring in major cities across South America’s largest country. The chicanery in the days before and after the election was at least as flagrant as it was in America’s 2020 debacle. But unlike Americans, the Brazilian people are not willing to simply accept all of it as their inescapable fate. With cultural and geographical closeness to Venezuela and other nightmarish Marxist cesspools of the region, Brazilians know the stakes of the battle they are in.
A good and legitimate American government would be loudly decrying the corruption and fraud. But of course this administration can do no such thing. Nor is it willing to see freedom and justice restored in Brazil or anywhere else. Such an event could set off an avalanche of freedom fighters throughout the world, rising up to confront the evils and right the wrongs of those who illegitimately hold power. America’s own Democrat Party has massive dirt on its hands in that respect.
It is hardly a coincidence that, as these events around the world reach critical mass, what we heard from the Biden Cabal in the past few days was another effort to create momentum for gun confiscation in America. The single element of the massive protests, whether in Tehran, Beijing, or Brasilia, which could be potentially different if Americans felt compelled to undertake direct action against their government, is that the inherent right of the people to “keep and bear arms” is still upheld and guaranteed by the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
For the despot wannabes in Washington to wield similar brutish power over the “We the People,” that long standing “obstacle” must somehow be invalidated. So once again, America was subjected to more grandstanding over the evils of an armed populace. In a November 25 event among the ultra rich liberals of Nantucket Island, Biden stated “The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It has no social redeeming value. Zero. None… I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.”
So once again, the efforts to outlaw “assault weapons” are couched in leftist sanctimony, as if their agenda has ever had any “social redeeming value.” And once again, the real effort is to hamstring Americans from defending themselves against despotic over-reaches from an out of control government.
While it is inspiring to see how willing the people of Brazil, China, and elsewhere are to rally and fight for their innate rights and freedoms, it is also sobering to realize just how much of an uphill battle they face, owing to their totally disarmed and defenseless condition. Americans have their own major battle against just such evil forces. Ceding our inherent and unalienable rights to the leftist power mongers in government would only make that effort much more difficult, if not totally impossible.

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.
