(Zero Hedge)—Last week, Cincinnati, OH made the national news after video footage went viral of crowds exiting a “black culture” jazz music festival. Marauding groups of the fatigue subset (the usual suspects) attacked at least three unsuspecting white victims as they walked along the bustling business district. One victim was an older man who was stomped and punched repeatedly into the road by multiple assailants. Another victim was a woman who was beaten unconscious.
Why did they do it? Because those people were convenient targets, it would seem. Or, perhaps simply because they were the most convenient white targets. It’s hard to say, but one can make an educated guess according to the evidence and common sense.
If this garbage persists, federal funding must be cut. The group should face hate crime charges. A mob of Blacks brutally attacked a white man and woman at the Cincinnati Jazz Festival. Such savage behavior is increasing nationwide, yet the mainstream media ignores the surge in… pic.twitter.com/rRf79X75rs

Most witnesses filmed the incidents or laughed. Keep in mind that if this was a group of white attackers targeting lone black victims, the national news would be in an uproar and there would be riots in the streets. As it stands, the Mayor of Cincinnati and the media have only briefly acknowledged the violence because it was exposed on social media. The discussion will disappear down the rabbit hole in a week or less as with all such crimes.
As the “black fatigue” debate continues, the general consensus is that solutions are few and difficult due to Democrat leadership in most major cities and also legal structures that prevent any separation of conflicting groups based on race. As Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, famously noted after discovering a poll in which over half of all black respondents said they don’t like white people:
“Based on the way things are going, the best advice I can give to White people, is to get the Hell away from Black people. There’s no fixing this. You just have to escape.”
“Based on the way things are going, the best advice I can give to White people, is to get the Hell away from Black people. There’s no fixing this. You just have to escape.”

This will always be a hall of famer. ?

Apparently some white Americans took this revelation to heart. One group called “Return To The Land” has launched an initiative in Arkansas with the goal of building a town of people limited to traditional values and European descent. The project, operating on private club laws on a 150 acre expanse, has of course drawn the ire of numerous activist groups and the leftist media.
The group was at least partially inspired by efforts in South Africa by Afrikaners to protect themselves from genocidal black communist movements in the region. Some towns in South Africa have formed with exclusively white residents and farmers. This comes after thousands of murders which they argue are race related.
Black commentators refer to the group as “white supremacist” (they are actually separatists, not supremacists) and call for their organization to be taken down through lawsuits.
The obvious question needs to be asked: Why do these critics care? Calls for black Americans to separate and isolate from whites have been rampant the last several years and such efforts are widely applauded. The low IQ commentators above ask what would happen if “blacks tried to do the same thing”? If they did a modicum of research they would discover that black Americans already have, many times.
In fact, only a few years ago the media was lavishing praise on a blacks only town called “Freedom” being established in rural Georgia. There were no accusations of malice or racism, only rivers of fanfare.

The double standard is clear. Black only town = stunning and brave – White only town = evil and fascist.
Black critics argue that the Return to the Land project is unnecessary because rural towns across America are already predominantly white. If this is true, then why does one more white town enrage them so much?
Maybe it’s not so much quiet separation that bothers leftists; it’s the open and loud call to separate that angers them. It’s the lack of fear on the part of white Americans. It’s important to understand that for decades progressives have used the power of white guilt to facilitate gains in political power and social influence. But what happens when that guilt disappears?
Ideally, none of this would be needed and all groups within the US could unite around a shared culture of American values. However, this is not the case. Far-left ideology has permeated the black community and ghetto culture has made coexistence impossible in the majority of cases. A percentage of black Americans are waking up to the problem and are trying to reverse course, but it may be too late.
In terms of legality, the Arkansas group will certainly face a multitude of challenges. Laws regarding private clubs do allow for discrimination, but not for skin color. Selective membership can be applied for groups that are based on a shared ancestry (a Sub-Saharan African Women’s club can legally discriminate against anyone who is not descended from Sub-Saharan Africa, for example). This may be why Return to the Land specifies that they are looking for people of European descent (a majority percentage of European DNA). It gives them legal latitude to block entry to certain undesirables.
How the group handles private property is another matter. There are legal loopholes that allow for the group to congregate in the same area, as long as traditional property sales don’t involve discrimination. Access to the property would therefore have to be tied somehow to private club laws. Return to the Land specifically notes on their website that they do not engage in real estate sales or rentals.
The separation, though, is not just about genetic heritage, it’s also about principles and culture. Beyond the legal debate, it’s fair to ask if people should be free in general to choose their associations; to choose who they live close to? Logic and reason would say “yes”. Why is it okay for one group (black Americans) to build their own town, but not okay for another group (white Americans)?
Why are leftists insistent on forced associations, particularly when it comes to whites?
Because that is how they accumulate power. The most productive group, the most wealthy group, must be forced to feed the needs of all orbiting groups. Minority groups can be tribal but white Americans cannot, because they are the resource pillar needed for the socialist machine to function. Separation undermines the foundations of the multicultural agenda, but also the socialist economic agenda. The progressive structure falls apart if enough whites walk away. It’s happening now in South Africa and the same result would be inevitable in the US.
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.
