Politics ... and a Blood Moon
Midterm elections are on Tuesday and this will coincide with - THE BLOOD MOON! The importance of the blood moon is is part of a end time prophecy in a small amount of Christian Sects and basically is a kind of countdown to Armageddon. John Hagee wrote a book about this in 2014 or so. When ever one happens on a significant day the web becomes atwitter with conspiracies. They’re usually fun so enjoy them.
But for us this week will be big because of the elections. One of two things will happen that you need to be aware of:
The “red tsunami” dethrones Democrats and gives the GOP control of the house and senate. Hard left media has already prepped their most rabid followers for violence if this happens so there will be riots in cities like Portland, NYC, Denver and LA. The stock market will also rally temporarily on a fresh injection of hopium which will crash a few months later as people realize that without control of the Presidency the GOP can’t undo the things driving economic pain in this country (like getting our oil supply back up, or re-opening farms) and even if they had the power the crops and food supply is already gone. There is a chance we won’t go to war with Russia but a very slim one in this scenario.
The Dems hold everything. Righties think the election is stolen deepening the left right divide, the left pushes harder for more censorship and most important for some of my readers the push to redefine the “alt-right” as including liberals, radfem and greens will go mainstream. There will still be riots and violence. Righties don’t usually riot and when they do they don’t attack random stores so if you think the right will riot just stay out of government buildings. The stock market will tank hard and since the only push back to getting us into WW3 in Europe comes from one small wing of the GOP we will be fighting Russia by next summer.
To prepare for either eventuality is the same. Stock food and water. Keep fire extinguishers ready. Look at your budget. Stay away from crowds on that day and few afterward.
As for other news that’s going under the radar because of politics. Via Gates of Vienna who are an old school counter Jihad blog focusing on Europe comes this excerpt interview about the imminent global financial meltdown:
Earlier this afternoon there was a discussion on Skype about this post at American Partisan quoting Egon von Greyerz concerning the imminent meltdown of the global financial system.
Below are excerpts from my exchange with one of the translators:
Translator: What can we do when the whole shebang collapses? Governments all over the world are already prohibiting people from buying gold and silver above a certain amount, and then that has to be declared so that they can come afterwards and take it away by force. What will happen to people who own their properties outright? Will these be taken along with those that borrowed from banks? I hope that NOBODY will sell any food to the rich afterwards. Let them eat their money.
Baron: It all depends on who is holding the AK-47s when the time comes. Those will be the ones who “own” whatever they want to claim.
As for selling stuff — what will people use to buy it with? Our assumption is that there will have been a financial collapse, and that the old currencies will be worthless. There will be barter, and there will eventually be a new currency based on something of real value. Probably multiple privately-issued currencies. Those currencies that reliably back up their scrip with gold or silver will become the new dominant media of exchange.
But there will also be a lot of starvation and violence, especially in the big cities.
T: I wonder how much longer we still have?
B: That’s a good question. Lots of people said the end was near back in 2008 and 2009, so we’ve already gotten an additional thirteen years for free.
I no longer make any predictions. The Powers That Be have shown that they can keep the bubble of imaginary money inflated for an indefinite amount of time. It can’t last forever, but I have no idea when the real crash will occur.

It will be like financial musical chairs: when the music stops, those who are left standing with their paper gold and silver will be ruined, while the ones who sat down early will have their metals.
That will be part of the systemic collapse. The question is: can all that gold help keep Soros and his ilk alive? I mean, they can pay their mercenary guards with their gold, but what’s to prevent the most ruthless and capable of the mercenaries from eliminating the middleman and appropriating all the gold for themselves?
I think the plan to hide out in the luxury bunker in New Zealand is just wishful thinking. It all depends on the assumption that people who lack all strength and martial skills will retain their power to command others. I just can’t see that happening, once the general support structure of civil society has collapsed. It will be the age of the new warlords: harsh, hardened, brutal ruthless men who dispatch their rivals themselves, personally.
Soros, Schwab, Gates, Harari, etc. lack those characteristics. Their reign will be brief.
Dour stuff predicting a new dark age but worth your time. The interview they’re referring is on the site American Partisan. You have to go there to watch because it’s on the Rumble format and Substack doesn’t support those embeds yet. In essence the point is that Europe’s economy is melting down and it’s going to take a lot of other economies with it.
I am agnostic as to whether things will get as bad as they predict. But they talk about the danger of derivatives market meltdown that is being hidden in the media.
It also looks like we won’t get any relief on the gas or diesel front. After the election most predictions are gasoline to average $5 a gallon nationally.
Get your house in order as soon as possible.
