Appointing Kash Patel to be the next FBI Director is arguably the most consequential move by President Donald Trump so far. Elon Musk will do great things. Tom Homan will remove the illegal aliens. Robert F. Kennedy Jr will make America healthy again. Pete Hegseth will unwokify our military. But as FBI Director, a bold and driven man like Kash Patel can do more to attack the powers-that-be than anyone else in the administration.
Kash Patel will have the power to release documents and present evidence that would implicate thousands of powerful or connected people. From the Epstein list to the Russiagate inquiry to the classified J6 truth, people in and out of DC will be in grave jeopardy.
They are going after him now. They have to. If he’s allowed to control the vast powers of the FBI and access the insane amount of “dirt” they have in their vaults, then many Deep State collaborators will be exposed.
Their first recourse will be to try to turn him through blackmail. They will dig through his past, his family’s history, his finances, and anything else they can access. If would be their ideal scenario to have someone in there who is perceived as a “good guy” by the people but who they actually have compromised and now control.
If they can’t blackmail him, they will get very desperate. This is the part that I hesitate to spell out but it needs to be said if only ambiguously. Will they manufacture dirt to discredit him? Possibly. It wouldn’t be shocking to see a sex scandal of some sort pop up if they can find another Christine Blasey Ford.
Will they engage in activities that are far worse? Possibly. They tried to smear, jail, and assassinate a presidential candidate. It seems like nothing is off the table when the Deep State gets desperate enough.
This is an extremely important position and the right man was chosen for the job. We have to hope they cannot compromise him in any way. Then, we must hope that they don’t do something far worse.
He has indicated he wants the release of the Epstein client list. We can assume the same is true for the Diddy party list.
He has said he wants full transparency about the FBI’s involvement in sparking the J6 protests. That has been one of the best kept secrets in Washington for four years with multiple Deep State assets bending over backwards to keep us in the dark.
The Nashville Shooter’s manifesto is currently being withheld from the public by Christopher Wray and his successor wants it released.
As for RussiaGate, he has mentioned over 10,000 man-hours were put into exposing the abuse of power committed by so many members of government, oftentimes against other members of government. He says this information has been largely withheld and that he wants it all released.
Perhaps worst of all for the Deep State, he says he wants to make FBI agents actually go out there and enforce the law. They have operated largely as the government’s jackboots for so long that taking them out of the intimidation industry and making them fight crime would upend many of the Deep State’s machinations.
We must pray for him. He needs God’s protection from all of the shenanigans they are going to try to use against him because the forces behind them are desperate. They know what he can do as FBI Director and it gravely concerns them, so they’ll be willing to do anything just as they were willing to do anything to stop President Trump.
God protected Trump and we must hope and pray it is God’s Will to protect Kash Patel as well.
Bypass Big Tech Censors
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
