In her last day in office, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released this statement:
I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
Many of us have suspected these truths since the early days of COVID hysteria in the spring of 2020. There were enough facts floating around in the public square to recognize that the virus had most likely emerged from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan and that the Wuhan lab had received financial support from Fauci’s directed allocation of U.S. taxpayer funds. Six years ago, those of us who wrote about these facts were called “conspiracy theorists” and “right-wing nutjobs.” We were censored, demonetized, and targeted for Internet “cancellation.” Today, everything we wrote back then has proven to be right.
What has been the reaction of the “venerable” news reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, or CBS? So far, I have seen little to no reaction at all. It is as if one of the biggest news stories of this century is being entirely ignored. The sharp-tongued James Woods commented on the absurd silence: “The Director of National Intelligence has just reported that Anthony Fauci funded a bioweapons lab in China in the creation of the COVID pandemic that killed millions. ABC has crack reporter Jonathan Karl headlining an algae story.”
The corporate news media would rather talk about repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool than acknowledge that U.S. public health officials and spies were directly responsible for COVID, as well as a global propaganda campaign orchestrated to cover up their culpability.
For fifteen years or more, the American, British, and European Deep States have been indoctrinating their respective populations about the dangers of “disinformation.” Effectively, Western governments have been laying a foundation in the social consciousness to support these points of view: (1) Foreign adversaries are engaging in information warfare against Western citizens. (2) Therefore, Western governments must be empowered to regulate what is “true.”
The first point is certainly correct. Foreign governments use propaganda to influence and even undermine Western societies. The second point, however, is a “solution” that is far worse than the recognized problem. Why? Because Western governments engage in information warfare, too. Western espionage agencies use propaganda not only to influence and undermine foreign governments but also to influence domestic populations and undermine domestic dissent.
Therefore, empowering Western governments to censor public debate and arbitrate what is true or false gives Western spies license to engage in information warfare against Western citizens whenever Western governments deem propaganda campaigns against the public necessary for advancing their own interests.
Fully armed with the privilege of lying to Western citizens, Western governments told us many COVID whoppers, including:
- The virus naturally evolved and came from a wet market.
- It was an order of magnitude more lethal than seasonal flu.
- Masks; church, school, and business closures; home confinement; six-foot human separation; restrictions on travel; isolation of ill or dying loved ones from their families; a general moratorium on funerals; and other arbitrary and capricious social distancing guidelines would prevent the spread of the virus.
- Natural immunity was ineffective.
- The experimental mRNA injections were effective “vaccines.”
- The experimental mRNA injections would prevent infection, illness, and death.
- Children and healthy adults must be forced to receive the experimental mRNA injections, even though they are not likely to become seriously ill or die from the COVID virus.
- Any death that could be linked to an mRNA injection must be treated as a death due to the COVID virus.
These are just a few of the many lies Western governments told their citizens. It was one of the greatest mass deceptions ever committed by Western governments against their own peoples. It was, in other words, a widespread disinformation campaign against the public.
Accompanying the release of formerly classified documents proving that Fauci had a hand in creating the COVID virus as well as directing the cover-up of his involvement, former DNI Gabbard stated: “The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world. After years of lies, censorship, and cover ups, the American people deserve transparency, truth, and accountability.”
Even though these explosive revelations have come from the highest-ranking Intelligence officer in the U.S. government, the corporate news media has remained nearly silent.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has been dogged in his attempts to expose the injuries and deaths linked to the experimental mRNA injections marketed as COVID “vaccines.” Last week, Johnson published a report showing how nearly 40,000 people died after receiving the mRNA injections. Senator Johnson alleges that federal health officials intentionally hid “vaccine” dangers from the public.
He states declaratively: “I consider this to be the biggest government scandal in my lifetime, and one that is crying out for full media attention and coverage.”
What has been the response from the major corporate news powerhouses? Crickets. Senator Johnson was forced to publish his damning report on X because, “The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA TODAY, and Fox Digital have all declined or ignored requests to publish this op-ed.”
NBC, ABC, PBS, CNN, and MS NOW also refused to address his report. The corporate news media — which regularly pats itself on the back for “speaking truth to power” — appears to be complicit in the government’s COVID propaganda campaign.
Over at The Conservative Treehouse, researcher extraordinaire Sundance has an article that organizes all of Gabbard’s COVID declassifications under the headline, “DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Evidence Anthony Fauci Manipulated Intelligence and Lied to Congress.” The first sentence of Sundance’s article gets straight to the point: “The central question remains, and unfortunately it is a question that cannot be answered except by dropping all pretenses.
That question is: Was the SARS-CoV-2 release ‘accidental’ or done with ‘intent’.” Calling the Intelligence Community’s propaganda efforts “control mitigation” and an “after action” operation to influence the public’s perception, Sundance reminds readers that we still don’t know whether one or more intelligence agencies or militaries planned and executed the global health emergency.
We do know that 2020 was a presidential election year in the United States, and shutting down the country produced a number of immediate effects:
- America’s robust economic growth halted.
- Americans experienced a once-in-a-lifetime national emergency that continued through the election.
- President Trump, well known for traveling the country and speaking to large audiences, was prevented from holding any election rallies.
- Presidential nominee Joe Biden, a man who had never received more than single-digit support in prior runs for the White House and whose public speaking skills have always been subpar, ran for office from the finished basement of his Delaware home.
- Using the excuse of the COVID “health emergency,” Democrat attorneys convinced state judges to permit extraordinary changes to existing election law, including the introduction of mass mail-in-ballots on an unprecedented scale.
The end result was that the perennially unpopular Joe Biden became the most popularly “elected” president in the history of the United States — besting “rock star” Barack Obama’s re-election numbers by fifteen million votes and MAGA-man Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election numbers by four million votes!
Coincidence…nutjob speculation…or evidence of conspiracy? We’ll have to wait for the official “truth.”
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.
