Many Western governments will eventually collapse because they do not serve the interests of their peoples. As a quick thought experiment, ask yourself what policy matters the governments of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union consider most important.
Based on what I hear from the speeches of Western politicians and what I see from Western mainstream media publications, I would include these issues near the top of any list:
- fighting “climate change”
- encouraging the mass immigration of foreign nationals
- replacing Western civilization with “multiculturalism”
- branding national self-interest as “fascism”
- demonizing “white supremacy” while giving preferential treatment to those with “diversity” of skin color
- undermining nuclear families consisting of one mother, one father, and their children
- treating abortion-on-demand as “healthcare” and a “sacred” right
- treating assisted suicide as “healthcare” and a moral good
- celebrating homosexuality
- rejecting biological sex
- embracing pseudoscientific “transgenderism” that promotes the sterilization and bodily mutilation of young children
- central banking that manipulates the value of national currencies
- offshoring industrial and manufacturing firms to third-world, often adversarial nations
- disarming citizens
- spying on citizens
- criminalizing citizens’ public and private speech
- censoring online information
- mandating the dissemination of government propaganda
- criminalizing citizens’ Christian beliefs
- refusing to prosecute or imprison thieves, robbers, rapists, and murderers
- nationalizing health care while mandating experimental “vaccinations”
- instituting military conscription
- instigating foreign wars without the public’s consent
- promulgating endless bureaucratic rules and regulations without voters’ consent
- taxing citizens and confiscating their property without their consent.
These twenty-five issues are by no means exhaustive, but they capture an accurate snapshot of Western governments’ priorities. In every instance, however, these policies either directly attack Western citizens or make their lives more difficult. They represent a kind of public policy grimoire meant to undermine Western civilization.
Any reasonable person looking at the above list would agree that Western governments are sabotaging Western nations. Western governments target Western citizens, Christianity, and the notion that Western civilization is worth preserving. Concurrently, they encourage non-Western foreigners to move into Western nations without assimilating. Non-Western foreigners are, therefore, replacing Western citizens. Foreign languages and foreign cultures are replacing Western languages and Western cultures. Foreign religions are replacing Christianity. Foreign workers are replacing Western workers. Foreign politicians are taking over Western governments.
At the same time, Western governments encourage Western women to have abortions. Western governments discourage the formation of strong, nuclear families. Western governments promote homosexual and promiscuous lifestyles that limit childbirth and population growth.
Western governments make it more expensive to live by collecting carbon taxes, mandating costly “green energies,” and enforcing ever-more-restrictive “climate change” regulations. Western governments use central banks to print and spend money that deflates the value of Western currency. Western governments flood their nations with foreigners who increase the demand for (and therefore the price of) housing, energy, and food. Western governments eliminate blue-collar jobs by offshoring entire domestic industries and then force unemployed Western citizens to depend upon government welfare.
Western governments endanger Western citizens by refusing to prosecute or imprison violent criminals who should not be on Western streets. Western governments control medical care, and, therefore, government bureaucrats decide whether Western patients will live or die. Western governments encourage impoverished, mentally ill, physically challenged, and old Western citizens to take advantage of government “healthcare” that helps them commit suicide.
This arrangement — whereby Western governments protect foreigners while endangering Westerners — is inexcusable. However, should any Western citizens notice how maliciously Western governments behave or how insane Western policies have become, Western governments jump into action to silence the witnesses and censor their dissent. Western financial institutions de-bank Westerners with “politically incorrect” beliefs.
Western social media monitors flag unapproved speech and sic Western “thought police” on unapproved speakers. Western officials denounce Western citizens who wish to protect their nations as “fascists,” “Nazis,” and “racists.” Meanwhile, Western governments work with Western corporations to monitor everything that citizens say or do. Then the same Western governments that spew endless propaganda defaming their own citizens as “fascists” and “racists” roll out military drafts requiring them to fight against “fascism” and “racism” on foreign battlefields.
If Western governments can successfully send Western citizens off to fight and die in foreign wars, then foreign nationals will be the only people left in Western nations. That’s when “Western” nations become foreign nations once and for all.
Putting all of this together, the natural question is not whether Western governments will one day collapse. The question is which government will fall first? Either Western citizens will grow tired of being abused and systematically eliminated, or foreign nationals will take over the operations of Western governments. One way or the other, then, Western governments cannot survive on their current path.
Unlike some naysayers, I have a great deal of confidence that the citizens of many Western nations will succeed in taking their countries back from those governments that wish them harm. Although late to the show, it is clear that many Western citizens are finally aware that they have been under attack.
Right now we are in the “let’s see if elections can fix this” phase, wherein desperate Western citizens are hoping that a Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders, Alice Weidel, Nigel Farage, or Donald Trump (all politicians whom Western governments and corporate news media demonize as “far-right”) will close national borders, restore Western sovereignty, protect Western civilization, and otherwise right the ship.
In response, Western governments are doing everything they can to prevent these leaders from succeeding — including by defaming, persecuting, harassing, suing, and indicting them for make-believe “crimes.” Should Western governments succeed in preventing Western citizens from electing leaders who will defend their nations from foreign conquest and self-sabotage, then Western citizens will move beyond the “elections fix” and begin to take their fight to the streets.
While Western governments are salivating over the prospect of sending their citizens off to die in an unnecessary war with the Russian Federation, many Western citizens have already concluded that there is no point in fighting authoritarianism in foreign lands when there is an onslaught of authoritarianism to fight at home.
In my estimation, Western governments are running out of opportunities to change course before they guarantee the rise of citizen backlash, rebellion, and civil war. Western governments have disarmed Western citizens in order to make them feel impotent and weak.
However, moral certainty and righteous indignation have a way of arming the powerless. When ten to twenty percent of a population decide that fighting tyranny is worth losing one’s life, it no longer matters who is armed or unarmed.
Governments cannot survive just by spying on, persecuting, or killing citizens. For governments to endure, they must maintain some modicum of legitimacy. In this regard, Western citizens hold all the power. The moment that they decide that their governments no longer represent their interests, Western citizens gain moral authority.
The moment that citizens decide that their governments are a threat to their security and well-being, Western governments are stamped with a shelf life. The question for Western governments pursuing anti-Western policies is simple: How much time do they have left?
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.
