Every American has at least one issue that resonates with them, that drives how they vote on election day. Many of us have several issues that are important to us. And even though standard operating procedure in modern day elections is to fall back on the words of James Carville, “It’s the economy, stupid,” we’ve seen many elections in which emotion drove the decision-making process rather than purely financial considerations.
Going into Tuesday’s midterm elections, the economy is at top of mind. The last time we had an election that was so focused on reversing our fiscal misfortunes was 1980. That was a presidential election during a very different era, so even though we have a wider array of issues on the ballot today, it’s conspicuous that the economy has been so dominant in polls. But here’s the thing. No matter how much an average American believes the economy is the biggest thing on the ballot, it’s actually much bigger than that. It’s everything.
This election isn’t just about fixing the economy, lowering inflation, preventing recession, or improving the job market. This election is about preserving the status of the U.S. Dollar itself. If Democrats are able to maintain control of the House and Senate, I’d make the not-so-bold prediction that they will continue to bring us closer to full-blown economic collapse. That’s what they’ve been doing for two years.
Unfortunately, those who think the Republicans can fix things if the anticipated red wave isn’t thwarted by massive, widespread voter fraud are being far too hopeful. Republican majorities in the House and/or Senate will only slow the bleeding. Without veto-proof majorities in both chambers, they will not be able to pass meaningful economic legislation that can become law. They’ll be delaying our nation’s demise if they can win, and at this point we’ll take the delay.
The real benefit of Republican majorities in DC that coincide with big America First victories at the state level (Kari Lake in Arizona and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania come to mind) is in allowing the American people an extended opportunity to turn things around. It is US who can fix the economy. This happens at the personal level by improving our own financial status and it happens at the national level when enough Americans work to get the economy rolling again. It’s small business owners and hard-working American citizens making good financial decisions that will save this nation if it is to be saved.
That cannot happen on a wide-enough scale if Democrats retain control for the next two years. In fact, I would go so far as to say our economy will crash before the 2024 election if Democrats can cheat their way to subvert the coming red wave on Tuesday.
Let’s be clear. Republican control on Capitol Hill with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy calling the shots will NOT be able to fix things. Even some of the “fiscally conservative” Republicans in Congress go along with bloated budgets in order to maintain their status in the caucus with McConnell and McCarthy in charge. GOP leadership is generally feckless, but I’ll take feckless over destructive any day. Democrat leadership is destructive, as we’ve learned very clearly the last two years with their control of the House, Senate, and White House.
We need strong leadership that gets out of the way of the American people. The GOP won’t be strong, but at least they won’t be as actively and aggressively working against the American people the way Democrats are doing right now. The leadership we need will be among the people, not politicians. If the red wave does materialize, I’ll post about what is needed from the people. Let’s see the red wave happen first.
Some will balk when I note that President Trump was not exactly fiscally responsible when he was in office, but the difference was his administration and Congress at the time were working on the premise of a strong and growing U.S. economy. When economic prospects are as high as they were in the pre-plandemic days, we can forgive some of the fiscal irresponsibility that was being practiced with massive budgets and spending. Personally, I would prefer strong economic periods be used to pay down our debt with tightened budgets but at least they weren’t spending like crazy with money that wasn’t there.
Today, the Biden-Harris regime is doing just that: Spending like crazy with money that isn’t there and limited prospects of sufficient funds coming in. This is why I’ve long said the ultimate goal of the regime is to force America to fully adopt Modern Monetary Theory. In essence, they want to print money to pay for bills. This will quickly erode the dollar’s worldwide value and the reliance inherent in the world’s reserve currency. As a result, the dollar’s status will drop like a rock. When that happens, we can expect a full-blown economic collapse that will decimate the United States.
But whether there’s a red wave or not, it behooves everyone to move their wealth or retirement to physical precious metals, either in their own hands or through a self-directed IRA. My regular readers are likely aware that I was against gold and silver for investment and wealth protection during the Trump years. The market was soaring. The prospects were high. Why put money into something that’s safe when there were investment profits to be made? But the stolen election changed everything and within three months into the Biden-Harris reign of terror, I started looking for precious metals sponsors to promote.
My criteria was simple: Any company I promote must NOT be working with the Chinese Communist Party and the executives must NOT be donating to Democrats. What I found during my research of 27 precious metals companies is that the vast majority of them — over 90% — ARE working with CCP proxies, donating to Democrats, or both. It was shocking, especially considering that many stalwarts in the conservative movement are endorsing these companies. I found three companies out of 27 that are truly America-First companies. Three. Out of 27. So sad.
The challenge many of my readers have in accepting that the powers-that-be are trying to collapse the economy is understanding the motives of the masses. How could so many Americans be involved if they know what’s going to happen? The answers is simple. They DON’T know. They just think they’re trying to codify Roe v Wade or protect the LGBTQIA+ supremacy agenda. They get involved with various campaigns because they’re trying to stop the MAGA movement. They participate in voter fraud because they think they’re “saving our democracy,” getting paid, or both. Nearly every participant in the destruction of America has no idea what they’re really supporting.
This election is an important component of the plan to devalue the dollar, but there are other things happening abroad that are also pushing in that direction. For a taste of what else is happening, I turn to Mike Adams over at Natural News. Mike is known for spreading the truth, and while some believe he is a fearmonger in the way he presents everything, I tend to see him as explaining the worst case scenario — hope for the best and prepare for the worst. It’s not for everyone, but as long as you can temper his pronouncements with an educated understanding of reality, he can be one of the most important voices in America today. Here’s Mike…
Dollar Dominance Scheduled for TERMINATION as Saudi Arabia Declares CHINA Its “Reliable Partner”
The petrodollar is now on its last legs as Saudi Arabia has declared China to be its “reliable partner” for energy and trade. The USA, under the catastrophic leadership of fake president Joe Biden — who was planted in the Oval Office via a rigged election — has lost all credibility in the eyes of world leaders.
First, the US military couldn’t even hold its ground in Afghanistan and was beaten by local militiamen who gained possession of tens of billions of dollars in US military equipment during the rushed US evacuation panic. Next, the USA demonstrated its tyranny and warmongering insanity by taking part in the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines that provide energy to Europe. Adding insult to injury, the corrupt US government, Treasury and private Federal Reserve have been printing money at a maddening pace, exploiting the special position of global reserve currency held by the dollar. The more dollars are printed, the more purchasing power is stolen from other nations that hold dollars. The current dollar devaluation has reached nearly 2% per month and continues to accelerate.
What the world has come to realize is that:
- The U.S. is a horrible steward of a global reserve currency and that the U.S. abuses / exploits its currency standing to enforce authoritarian dominance over the world.
- The U.S. is a dangerous, cruel empire that bombs civilians, destroys civilian infrastructure and abuses human rights both around the world and at home (hundreds of J6 political prisoners still locked up, with no trial).
- The U.S. has zero regard for the rule of law and has no respect for anything resembling “democracy” or “human rights.”
- The U.S. is a horrible trading partner because it will carry out economic warfare against its own trading partners (such as the Fed raising interest rates to break Britain’s bond-based pension system) while pushing transgenderism and the LGBT agenda on the world.
- The U.S. will demand real goods from your nation (commodities, manufactured goods, etc.) while offering you nothing but fiat currency debt instruments in return. The world is tired of trading real, physical assets for America’s IOUs.
- U.S. leadership is a cabal of insane, deranged criminals who cannot be reasoned with. The U.S. is like a crazed childhood bully running around with nuclear weapons, beyond the reach of any rational argument or sensible solution involving common ground.
For these reasons and more, the nations of the world are set to repudiate the dollar and bring the U.S. empire to an end.
We now have confirmation that this global pivot is taking place.
As Simon Watkins writes for OilPrice.com:
[T]he U.S. is surprised by the apparent finalisation of the transition of Saudi Arabia away from Washington and towards China, which effectively marks the end of the 1945 core agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia that defined their relationship up until extremely recently.
The petrodollar understanding, in other words, is history.
The last days of the American empire are upon us
Once the petrodollar is repudiated by nations around the world, the dollar will collapse in value as nations dump it, sending a flood of dollars back to the USA where they will saturate the domestic economy. The result will be shocking price inflation in consumer goods (including food) followed by a suicide spiral of last-ditch money printing while the Fed buys up stocks, bonds, houses and expiring Treasury debt, effectively leading to self-immolation of the dollar currency.
Those left holding dollars will lose most of the value — perhaps 95% — and banks will resort to bail-ins or bank holidays to try to prevent bank runs.
At some point in this fiasco, the ability of the U.S. federal government to pay its own workers will grind to a halt, resulting in a collapse of the federal government’s financial solvency in something resembling the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. This will likely be followed by the breakup of the United States into smaller, regional nation states which will launch their own currencies, likely backed by a portfolio of gold and commodities (because no one will trust fiat currency merely on “faith” at this point).
Make sure you are physically present in the state where you want to be when this house of cards comes tumbling down.

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.
