The Evils of Nuclear War Can be Survived. Here’s How.
by Chris Martenson

It’s an uncomfortable place to be…living at a time when leaders discuss the idea of attacking a major nuclear power as if there would be no real consequences. That they are driving our world to the edge of doomsday is unconscionable. Evil, even. Yet that’s the world Washington, D.C. and our European leaders seem to…

The data is rolling in. Across the globe, birthrates are plummeting while excess mortality is spiking. Both of those issues alone will damage the viability of a healthy society…but combined? Now, we have a German foreign minister saying she will stand with Ukraine and make her people suffer with energy shortages, no matter what her…

First, I have some bad news. My data provider decided to stop shipping futures data to me (it was a free service which I’ve used for over five years) – the last updated value was Thursday at end of day. So, my charts for all futures contracts in this report end on Thursday. Now, I…

So, the reasonably big market move this week: SPX reversed its 7-week decline, and printed a strong-looking bullish reversal candle, but it was not enough to pull the skeptical forecaster back into an uptrend. The SPX move (+6.58%) came mostly on Thursday and Friday, alongside a bullish sector map (discretionary, energy, financials, and tech led)….

Food riots. Recession warnings. Oil shortages. Inflation spiking. All of these things are connected and spring from the same source; defective “leadership.” Serious predicaments and unserious leaders mean it’s time to prepare. In this video report, I lay out the troubling financial and economic warning signs that are increasingly spilling over (as predicted) into social…

You need to be ready for what’s coming later this year, next and probably for many years stretching into the future. We’re now past “peak prosperity,” and things are getting harder from here on out in terms of ease and comfort. On the positive side, life may well be far more meaningful and sensible. Or…

Goodbye COVID, hello Russia. We sure hop from one crisis to the next in a Fourth Turning. That’s by design. There is little chance they’d get to do (i.e., control) all the things they want to do without a giant Boogieman (thank you, Vladimir Putin). The Prospect of Global Nuclear War I hope you are…

 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...
