Who is they?

And "decades" means you are including the people who saw the mortgage meltdown coming.

The bottom line is you can't prepare after the surprise attack. Either you are ready at that moment or you aren't.

Also the things in the list of seven items are all things that can easily last for 1.5 years if not much longer. What is the big deal with buying toothpaste, soap, and other items in bulk. They aren't going to go bad. Likewise with the disposable lighters and small bottles of alcohol and salt.

Several years ago no one on this thread was suggesting getting those. I recommended silver when it was $18 an ounce and today it is over $85 an ounce. That was good advice.

However, we are much closer to all out war with a coalition of nuclear powers (Iran, Russia and China). The situation has changed. Now is the time to make sure you have water purification tablets which are about $0.15 each and basic medical supplies.
 
Many people Often trying to get you to buy something or invest in some investment even Gold , often on line , I’m sure there are some now . I would get advertisements from them . I pay little attention to them any more . Often fake statements, like save your 401 ie . The government is going to loot your bank account and savings etc . It endless maybe worse now . Fear is a motivator and used often . On and on . Some people just make up fake stories, lots of them . Climate change is very good example of fear mongering . Any way don’t take it personal it’s the world we live in .
 
At the moment the straight of Hormuz is shut down (20% of the world's oil goes through there) and Iran is bombing every nation in the Mideast that they can. This is certainly an event with a short term impact on inflation. But if it turns into a long term impact we could see very serious inflation.

To make matters worse if Silver spikes too high it could cause a number of large financial institutions to go bankrupt.

The problem is not that they are selling naked shorts, the problem is they think buying derivatives covers those naked shorts. If one institution cannot pay on their bets it could cause a domino effect traveling through the entire financial industry.

I am so sick of inflation! My wife and I have been together for 36 years and we never complained about inflation until 2021. We felt like our household income went backwards about $10,000 a year starting around that time. Prior to covid, my wife and I could each order a chicken sandwich, fries and a drink at chick fil a and it totaled $14 and some change. Now, it's $22 and some change. Groceries are up like 25%. Airfare and lodging is more expensive now etc.. etc.. We planned a southern Caribbean cruise in 2020 and it was canceled because of covid, and we rebooked that same cruise in 2025 and it ended up costing $1,000 more.

Rant over.

Something else to mention. Our county Executive has been at the center of intense controversy regarding 2023–2025 property tax assessments, whicg has lead to lawsuits. For some people, their property tax may have jumped as much as 200% all at once. The house I live in now I've been in just under four years and our property, taxes have already gone up $2,000 more a year and our homeowners insurance has doubled! In our last home, it took 12 to 15 years in order for our property taxes to go up $2,000 more a year and I don't recall our homeowners insurance doubling in that amount of time. Plus, within the last few years, our healthcare insurance premiums have been rising at an accelerating rate. These days I just feel like I'm running against the wind.

The wind's always been there. Just stronger now. As long as the system isn't asserting itself too strongly, it can even seem pleasant, like a nice breeze, or warm water for the frog. But the system sooner or later becomes exposed for what it is. We're there now. The value of the USD has been inflated away as a nice breeze until it's nearing zero.
 


India Just BANNED COMEX Silver Prices (Few Are Ready)​


And so it begins
 

HOLY SH*T! Now its Morgan Stanley...​


Today -- Morgan Stanley
Yesterday -- Cliffwater
Previously -- BlackRock, Blackstone, and Blue Owl.

These funds are all refusing withdrawals.

Bottom line -- as long as oil goes up in price we will see massive stress on many of these funds.

OpenAI Co-Founder Just Revealed The TRUTH About Your Job

One recent interesting development, someone designed a program that would train itself, make adjustments to the code, then retrain, make adjustments, and continue that process until it had made tremendous progress. I mention this because some people thought that AI would create jobs for programmers or something.

We also have robots building robots. So it is unlikely that building robots will become a new job either.

Also, despite incredibly scary job losses predicted here, you should understand this is an extremely conservative estimate because it is not taking into account robots which have shown tremendous improvement and are also extremely affordable when compared to your average employee.
 


Ai Just Took Another Step Toward Replacing Us

AI agents running their own research. Personal AI systems acting on your behalf. Robots starting to handle real-world tasks. And somehow… simulated insects, brain cells playing Doom, and AI-powered cockroach spies.

She is warning of a nuclear attack in Lower Manhattan next week, March 25th.

If such an event were to take place it will have a bigger impact on the stock market than 911 did.



Pi, 88 & Another Nuke for Manhattan Dream 3 -17-26@5:37 AM Shared 3-18-26​


This dream also confirms what others have seen.

After 911 the stock market fell by 14% while gold and oil rallied. I share this because such an event will likely usher in the seven year tribulation. Our goal and hope is that we would be raptured but for the majority of believers that will not be. I think it is interesting that March 25 is a quarter moon, where the moon (signifying the church) is half lit up and half dark just like half the virgins had oil in their lamps and half did not.

I did not have this dream, but I have felt in my spirit that we would get a seven day heads up warning, and so I have been monitoring several channels that I thought this warning would come from.
