The so-called “leaders” of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany are the four jokers of the apocalypse — each doing his damndest to drag what’s left of those nations into Hell.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has given several speeches recently in which he reaffirms his commitment to fighting “climate change” by severely limiting Canadians’ meat and dairy consumption, clothing allowance, private ownership of vehicles, air travel, and other basic lifestyle choices.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who did nothing while Islamic rape gangs hunted young British girls — has rolled out a totalitarian system for online speech controls, mandatory digital identifications, and device-level scanning under the pretense that Big Brother must “protect the children” from “harmful” content.
French President Emmanuel Macron pretends that Christians are not under attack while churches and other sacred sites burn to the ground.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has decided that the only way to save the German economy from the self-inflicted and “severe strategic mistake” of shutting down its nuclear reactors is to juice Germany’s defense industry by investing in prolonged war with the Russian Federation.
Net-zero communism, online censorship, Christian persecution, and endless war — these are all pillars of the globalist, “progressive,” anti-Western apocalypse that Carney, Starmer, Macron, and Merz continue to unleash. The “Build Back Better”-“Green New Deal”-“Net-Zero”-“Great Reset”-“Climate Change” program will make it impossible for people to own anything. “Protect the children” controls over the Internet will make it impossible for people to exchange information freely and anonymously.
Continued attacks on Christians’ religious beliefs and their houses of worship will make it impossible for people to exercise their freedom of conscience without punishment. Using war to distract citizens from “green energy”-induced inflation, central bank currency destruction, and the totalitarian architecture of the West’s national security surveillance State will make it impossible for people to marry, have children, prosper, and live in peace.
These are not popular policies. If any one of these globalist pillars were put on a ballot for a general referendum, voters would overwhelmingly strike it down. But the dictators who pretend to be leading “democracies” will never allow the people to decide their own futures.
After Ukraine voters surprised European elites in 2010 by choosing a president (Viktor Yanukovych) aligned more with Russia than the European Union, British voters surprised the ruling class by opting for Brexit in June 2016, and American voters surprised the Deep State by electing President Trump later that November, the Establishment realized that the successful implementation of its new-world-order policies would depend upon rigged elections and the sabotage of unapproved victors (see, e.g., the U.S. State Department’s 2014 Maidan coup d’état in Kyiv, the United States’ mail-in-ballot-tainted
Government by mandate and oppressive regulation is the dystopian system that has swallowed most of the West. Elections with uncontrolled outcomes are to be avoided whenever possible.
Notice how the four jokers of the apocalypse govern by emergency. When Carney talks about energy controls and economic regulation, he emphatically declares that man-made “climate change” is causing imminent destruction of the planet. The “science” is not only “settled”; we’re all about to die! A member of the British government said of Starmer’s social media spying: “Keir has been clear we need a game-changer to keep our children — and future generations — safe online.”
You hear that? We must give up online privacy in order to keep the children safe! In Macron’s France, even circumspect suggestions that millions of unvetted Islamic migrants might have something to do with the inexplicable spate of church fires across the country are met with government “hate crime” charges and public denunciations of right-wing nationalists and racists! Poor Merz is so desperate to distract Germans suffering under the continent’s economically suicidal “green energy” policies that he’s substantially increased defense spending and taken steps toward mass conscription while warning that the Russians could invade Berlin at any time!
In other words, if “climate change” doesn’t kill us, “right-wing nationalists” will! And if those “racist fascists” don’t get us, the Russians will! And if we somehow manage to survive those villains, too, well, a free, open, and uncensored Internet will certainly murder our children in their sleep! All very scary things.
No time to use our brains to consider whether the four jokers of the apocalypse might have ulterior motives for their globalist policies. No, sirree! We have enough time only to listen to the government and do exactly what it says! You know…just like during COVID…when the “experts” told us we could not question government rules for surviving the apocalypse — no matter how irrational, silly, or plain insane most of those rules proved to be — because grandparents, children, cute puppies and kittens, and maybe every person on the planet were all about to die…unless we obeyed the government!
Globalism is an evil ideology that generates endless “emergencies” in order to frighten and intimidate people into surrendering their rights and freedoms. Carney, Starmer, Macron, and Merz sell fear in exchange for power. They’re good at what they do. Peddling the apocalypse ad nauseam isn’t easy. Fear merchants must constantly be ready to produce a new “emergency” just as soon as the current “emergency” grows stale.
That’s how “global cooling” turned into “global warming” before becoming “climate change” which morphed into threats from “extreme weather.” Every time the temperature changes — heck, every time there’s a little extra sun, snow, wind, or rain — Mark Carney and his fellow “climate change” conmen are ready to sell the apocalypse!
It makes me wonder whether Western citizens will ever grow exhausted of being perpetually punked. Will people realize that surviving on wind-powered unicorns downgrades life to what it was before the Industrial Revolution? Will they figure out that mass surveillance and social credit scores are inimical to personal freedom? Will they recognize that the Islamic conquest of Europe effectively means that there will be no Europe? Will they notice that the constant fearmongering regarding Russia’s supposed intent to conquer the European continent mirrors Orwell’s satirical critique of perpetual war among the thinly-disguised fictional superstates of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia?
I really hope they do. For all of our sakes, I really hope that a “great awakening” occurs during which ordinary Westerners accept that their “experts” are frauds, their “money” is fake, their “democracy” is a lie, and their “leaders” are totalitarians. The line separating the Carneys, Starmers, Macrons, and Merzes from the Stalins, Mussolinis, Maos, and even Hitlers is smudged and getting only more blurry.
To some people, that might read like hyperbole. But these Western demagogues posing as “leaders” are allowing Christians to be violently attacked and prosecuted for imaginary “hate crimes.” They do nothing as churches not-so-mysteriously go up in flames. They let Islamic rape gangs hunt young girls and even cover up their horrific crimes in order to protect globalism’s support for mindless “multiculturalism” and forced “diversity.” They censor speech in the name of “protecting children” and pump out endless propaganda while attacking dissent as “disinformation.”
They tax and regulate and take, take, take. Then, after confiscating the public’s incomes and properties so that they and their cronies can have more wealth and more power, they go on television to hyperventilate about threats from invading Russians, right-wing fascists, and “global warming.” Western “leaders” destroy minds with their lies. They do not deserve our sympathy. They deserve prison.
When the four jokers of the apocalypse come calling, pay them no attention. Fear merchants can’t sell Armageddon if nobody listens.

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.
