Preparing For The New Future
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

What I don’t put out in public, besides my daily reminder to “start a garden,” is that I foresee a particularly strong possibility that things will get a lot worse before they get better.

Social unrest, increases in crime, and food shortages — dangers like that.

So to shield myself and those I care about, the biggest new initiative I’m undertaking in my own personal life is…. (Enroll now to continue reading)

 PREVIEW

The current Federal Reserve money printing is doing little more than delaying the inevitable crash that is coming.

Worse, when it does come, it will arrive with extra force because the Fed is pushing thin-air money by the trillions into a rapidly shrinking economy.

This means we all have to be ready for…. (Enroll now to continue reading)

The Next Brewing Crisis
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

I’ve been telling people to “plant a garden” in my daily videos.  There’s a specific sound reason for this.

You may have heard about the lack of workers to plant and harvest produce, and we’ve read about the shuttering of meat packing plants.

But are you also aware of the ominous rumblings of an increasing number of nations that are making preparations for the possible coming loss of food imports?  National ‘food hoarding’ is now popping up on my radar screen.

I just received information that stunned me on the scale and speed with what’s coming, which I’ll share here in this report.

The Beginning Of The End
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

After so much time cautioning about and preparing for the end of the Everything Bubble, it feels otherworldly to be finally confronted with the actual end of “what was.”

It’s really here. This isn’t a dress rehearsal. The curtain has gone up and the show has started.

I find myself alternating between excitement and deep anxiety. Maybe several times in the same hour.

Excitement because this is a historic moment, one that offers us all a chance to reform things for the better. Deep anxiety because there are some very dark outcomes that are open possibilities.

I’m mainly writing today to warn you of the all-too-likely… (Enroll now to continue reading)

SARS-COV-2: Intense Economic Damage
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

An economic &/or financial crash is not only possible, but is expected to be far larger than the 2008 crisis.  Economic impacts are piling up too fast to be properly analyzed.  So in this report we go into the one key factor out of them all that we watch most closely for clues to what’s coming up next.

Be ready for shortages and the possibility of market closures, banking holidays and things like that.  While not very probable, the possibility of such things is now well above zero.

Shortages and Breakdowns

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s suddenly stopping.  In December 2019 the entire world, just-in-time global economy was humming along, a month later it metaphorically ran into a brick wall.

A stop so sudden that nobody has any clue how badly the system was harmed.  Because it’s a complex system it also means that nobody can predict any of the actual consequences.

Apple’s manufacturing process is complicated.  Apple’s supply chain from raw sand to finished phone is complex.  Things that are complicated can be modeled and resolved.  Things that are complex cannot.

Probably one of the most vexing things an obvious crisis like this coronavirus pandemic (well, obvious to you and us, at any rate) is all the people who refuse to face it.

They’ll exploit every possible psychological defense in their arsenal to resist discussing or even hearing about the crisis. They will ignore you. They will belittle you. They will try to subtly – or overtly – shame you for attempting to raise the issue with them.

Here’s why that happens and what you should do about it. First,… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Why I’m Ramping Up My Coronavirus Preparations
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

In yesterday’s video (Coronavirus Infections Outside Of China Are Growing Exponentially) from Feb 19th, 2020, I put out the science behind why a second exposure may be worse than the first. That’s anything but proven at this point, but the fact that both SARS and MERS are that way, and given the high degree of sequence homology between both of those and COVID-19 we’re just going to have to guess that a second exposure to COVID-19 is worth avoiding.

So much so that I’ve made the personal decision that I’m not going to get it the first time around. Mostly to avoid being at risk of getting it a second time.

That’s a calculation based on the currently available data, which, admittedly, involves making a number of assumptions and a couple of educated leaps.

I’m uncomfortable speculating in public because I’d be crucified by those protecting the official narrative.

Here’s my primary personal strategy when it comes to the coronavirus (aka covid-19): Don’t get infected!

Not until a truly effective vaccine is ready and I’ve gotten it. That’s going to be up to 18 months from now, possibly longer.

This means I have to be ready to self-distance from other people for that entire time. It means I have to be mentally and financially ready to isolate at home for a very long time, if necessary. For much longer than I was actually prepared for when all this erupted last month.

So, over the past few weeks I have taken the following steps… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary

  • Understanding the motivation of the officials trying to avoid stating a panic
  • Steps to take BEFORE the coronavirus hits your area
  • Steps to take AFTER it does
  • Helpful resources (besides PP.com) for staying on top of the coronavirus threat

If you have not yet read Part 1: Coronavirus: What We Can Say Publicly & What We Can’t, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

The World Health Organization (WHO) made its position clear as recently as yesterday, once again chiding countries for limiting air travel with China.

In fact the WHO has made more statements about NOT doing things that might harm travel and trade than they have issued anything remotely useful towards helping you understand and avoid contamination.

Let them do their thing, while you do yours.

That leaves the big question: What to do?

To address that, Adam and I put together the guidance below, which is based on the steps we are taking in our own lives, with our own health, with our own families, in preparation should the coronavirus outbreak arrive where we live.

To make it easier to digest, we’ve categorized our recommendations into… (Enroll now to continue reading)

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
