China Shows More Signs of War Mobilization
by Chris Martenson

A quick update on the China War Thesis released less than a week ago. China’s military sent 71 planes and seven ships toward Taiwan in a 24-hour display of force directed at the self-ruled island, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Monday, after China expressed anger at Taiwan-related provisions in a U.S. annual defense spending bill. China’s…

Mining, Crude and The Vaccine Bubble

In contrast to gold’s mostly-sideways move, the miners rallied strongly on the week, up 3.67%.  Silver also did well, climbing +2.67%, making a new closing high. Ratios: GDX:gold +0.72% (bullish), GDXJ:GDX +1.54% (bullish), Gold:Silver ratio -2.64% (bullish). Even though gold barely moved, this was a bullish week overall for PM. I especially like how the…

So, EU leaders decided to forcibly cap the price of Russian-supplied natural gas. How’s that going to work out for the Europeans this winter and over the next few years?

2022 The Year in Review: The War in Ukraine
by David Collum

Annually, friend-of-the-site David Collum writes a detailed “Year in Review” synopsis full of keen perspective and plenty of wit. He strikes again in his usually poignant and delightfully acerbic way. As with past years, he selected Peak Prosperity as the site where it is published in full. It is longer than our usual posts, but…

Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) is where state actors use all of their exceptionally potent tools of persuasion to control the narrative and install new cognitive biases by hacking our wiring and leveraging our pre-existing beliefs, biases and judgments.  Sound like some dystopian SciFi movie?  It does, but it’s also the current reality. Welcome to the…

The Signs Say “Yes”
by Chris Martenson

China’s statements and actions are consistent with a nation preparing for war. Or, at least an intelligent nation, unlike the EU which poked, prodded and finally got a war on with Russia, but failed to prepare meaningfully, or at all, beforehand. You know what? I am so used to defective leadership that it now seems…

The Vital Connection Between Oil and The Economy Revealed in Two Simple Charts

There’s a huge, glaring defect at the core of our financial and economic system, and it’s sitting in plain sight. Surprisingly, few people are aware of it, and I can reveal it in just two simple charts. One of the growth in debt, the other in the relationship between economic growth and oil consumption. It’s…

Could These Mysterious Clots Be Causing People To Die Suddenly?
by Chris Martenson

The movie “Died Suddenly” was a mixed bag. On the one hand, it went viral and a lot of people saw it and that has to have helped open up a ton of awareness. On the other hand, it mixed in some demonstrably false (or super poorly researched) items which can only serve to function…

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old. I love the considerations that the article had above and thought I would add a few things that I have considered for our situation. My...
