  I hope you’re doing well and keeping your chin up during these uncertain times. I’ve got lots of stuff to talk about this month so let’s dive right in. First of all, let me say thank you to all the folks who have written since our last conversation. I’ve had several emails wanting to hear my thoughts on everything that’s going on. I’ll do my best to address all of those. However, part of the reason I’ve been so busy is that I’ve been focusing on solutions and not been able to allocate much time toward listening to the talking heads drone on and on about the problems. So, forgive me if I seem a little disconnected. I would have gotten something out earlier this month, but I’ve been absolutely covered in multiple projects. For all of you who are working on a garden, you know what kind of time commitment that can be. Most of my staple crops are doing well. I’ve put up 25 quarts of green beans. Most of those were canned, but I also froze 6 quarts. Obviously, freezing is faster, cheaper, and much less messy as opposed to canning, but I’m a prepper, so that means I always do things the hard way. No, just kidding, but it does seem like that sometimes. I think it’s important to keep the canning skills honed. Plus, in the event of a grid down scenario, those jars of green beans are one less thing I’ll have to worry about using up before they go bad from the freezer. If you’ve ever tried to run a large stand up freezer for any length of time on a solar generator, you’ll know that a stand up freezer can suck a lot of juice. You’ll need quite a few batteries to keep that going. For those of you who are keeping your canning supplies for a rainy day, right now is a great time to take stock of your supply of jars, lids, and rings. Jars are, of course, reusable, but if you’re planning to can everything you produce in a grid down event, make sure you have enough. Rings are also reusable, but they can get rusty, so it makes sense to have a few extra rings on hand. Lids are not reusable. They’re also not as cheap as they once were. I use wide mouth jars because they’re easier to clean. Those lids run a few cents more. A dozen runs about $4 at my local grocery. Since the apocalypse lite began, canning supplies have been in short supply. Our nearest Walmart has almost nothing but I’ve been able to piece together some extra canning supplies at the local grocery. It’s not just canning supplies. Anything that can potentially fit into the prepper category is scarce. All of the gardeners can attest that it wasn’t as easy to source seed this spring. I highly encourage folks to stock up on seeds. Most will store for years in the freezer. Another thing that’s kept me busy is rabbits. I finally pulled the trigger and got two does and a buck. We went with New Zealands which make good meat rabbits. They run about 10 lbs each so not too big and not too small. I had really hoped that I was going to be able to pick some low hanging fruit and just buy a couple of decent hutches off of Amazon. I tried the two models with the best reviews and both are pretty much junk. So, I ended up having to build my own. I finally bit the bullet and committed to the project. Now I have a good hutch that should serve me well for a decade or more. It’s 8 feet long and subdivided in the center providing separate quarters for bucks and does. It also has half inch by one inch wire screen along the bottom which allows the manure to drop through to a length of metal roofing installed at an angle. This lets the dropping roll down to a plastic bin where the manure can captured and taken to the garden for organic fertilizer. The junk hutches that I bought off of Amazon can still be used for breeding, so they’re not a complete waste. In fact, I probably couldn’t breed in the main hutch because the baby rabbits’ feet would probably get caught in the screen. The Amazon hutches have solid bottoms. If you decide to get into rabbits,

I cover some recent prophetic words and current events in today's show.

Congratulations to the winner of the World Order Giveaway, James Jake Thomas Ryan!   On today's show, I talk about the riots and the ongoing socialist revolution in America. CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR COPY TODAY! And there went out another horse that was red, and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and there was given unto him a great sword. Revelation 6:4 The Second Seal is opened and an impending terrorist attack threatens to kill off a large swath of the global population. Josh and Emilio have captured one of the terrorists. Through an unsanctioned interrogation, they learn that a weaponized virus is about to be unleashed on four major cities in America. Using back channels, they pass along the information to the Special Agent in Charge of the Tampa DHS field office. However, the SAC winds up dead, leaving Josh and Emilio to neutralize the threat on their own. In the face of a weaponized pandemic, you have to stock up, hunker down, and pray like your life depends on it. Meanwhile, back at the compound, Stephanie, Micah, and the others prepare to shelter in place in case the worst happens. They must add to their provisions in the face of skyrocketing inflation. They’ll have to harden the perimeter and get ready for what will be the most terrible time the planet has ever endured. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lucius Alexander knows better than to let a good crisis go to waste. He’ll utilize the panic over the impending plague to expand his authority over the globe. And while no vaccine officially exists for the virus, no one in the Global Union government nor the state-run media seem to be getting sick.

I talk about the riots and the ongoing socialist revolution.

Hey preppers and patriots, I hope you all are well and doing what you can to stay safe. I’ve been staying busy through the lockdown. I’ve got the garden started, recently put in some more fruit trees, and of course, I’ve been hammering away at the keyboard to get out the next installment of The Beginning of Sorrows. As promised, I’m going to address some emails I’ve received since the beginning of the COVID crisis about what to expect on the economic level. To start, I’m going to answer a letter I got from a reader. As a disclaimer, I’m not offering financial advice but simply stating what I would do in a given situation. Ray writes, What is your opinion on continuing to contribute to a 401k? I’m not cashing out but am not sure it makes sense to keep adding. I have a really good company match and some other prepper-minded people are saying now is the time to buy. But, I’m considering stopping or reducing my contribution and buying silver instead. Dear Ray, If I were in your shoes, I'd probably contribute up to the match and not a penny more. You're essentially loosing part of your paycheck if you don't participate. But, I’d park everything in the lowest risk vehicle available through my 401k program. With a one-to-one employer match, the market has to lose 50% of its value before you lose the first dime. Thanks for writing! In addition to my response to Ray, I’m going to expound a little bit on that and cover concerns from several other readers and podcast listeners. The Fed has basically said they'll do whatever is necessary to prop up the markets. With QE infinity, they could essentially purchase every available share of stock if they so choose. The total value of all 30 companies listed on the Dow Jones index comes to around $8 trillion. Since March the government has pledged far beyond $6.5 trillion. Congress has passed over $2.5 trillion in bailouts plus the Fed was at $4 trillion in COVID relief programs prior to Powell announcing on March 23rd  that they would do whatever was necessary, basically saying that they would print an unlimited amount of money to keep the economy moving at full steam ahead—right over the edge of the cliff. Through open market activities, the Fed is restricted to purchasing treasuries and certain other debt instruments to keep the party going. They’re not allowed to buy stocks and bonds of publicly traded companies. Of course, they see that rule as more of a suggestion than a law. They’ve set up what the government likes to call a special purpose vehicle which allows them to shuffle money to a non-Federal-Reserve entity, which allows them to purchase High-Yield ETFs, AKA Junk Bonds. If the Fed was a drug dealer we’d call that special purpose vehicle a shell corporation and people would go to prison for money laundering. And even thought the Fed is not a government entity, they do enjoy all of the special privileges of being a member of the ruling class and are entitled to all the double standard benefits that the government receives. So, the Fed is currently purchasing ETFs—only steps away from actually buying stocks. And as I’ve already stated, they could buy every share of stock on the Dow Jones index and it would still be in the ball park of what they’ve already committed in terms of monetary creation for COVID relief. This is why all of my fiction works either focus directly on the economy or at least brushes over the government’s vain attempts to breathe life into the corpse which was once the US dollar. If you think the scenarios in my books are hyperbole, they’re not. If anything, they fail to portray the level of ignorance and desperation of government officials and central bankers. It’s impossible to envision the recklessness, stupidity, and suicidal moves these people make when faced with anything other than perfect economic conditions. Back to the $6.5 trillion plus in bailout money. All that free cash is going to need a home.

In this month's show I talk about hyperinflation and the chaotic economic period ahead.

I hope you’re doing well and being safe. Since the outbreak of the virus, I’ve gotten tons of emails. The two main topics have been about how the virus fits into prophecy, and what’s going to happen with the economy. Both of those are huge issues, so I’m going to address the prophecy aspect this month and then dedicate a little more time to covering the economic ramifications in May. Although, if you’ve been listening to my podcast or reading my books for any length of time, you can probably guess what I’m going to say about both of those subjects. This week is Passover. And no, I’m not really what you would call a Jewish roots adherent, but Passover is a New Testament celebration.  Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:7 “For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” That’s why He’s the Lamb of God. It’s His blood that we apply to the lintels and the doorposts of our hearts so that the destroying angel will pass over us on the final day of judgement. When we get away from calling it Passover, it’s easy to miss some of the rich lessons God has to show us from those Old Testament stories. First of all, the Last Supper and that important final discourse which Jesus gives to his disciples in John 14-16 all happen at Passover, just before our Passover Lamb was sacrificed. And by the way, if you’re feeling a little out of sorts by everything, as many of us are, John 14-16 is a fantastic section of Scripture to help you find your center and get some perspective. In this time of great distress, we all need reassurance that we are protected by the blood of Jesus.  Is it possible that COVID-19 is a judgment on the earth, just as the plagues of Egypt were a judgment against the Pharaoh? Absolutely. But it’s also possible that the pandemic is a wakeup call. Or, it could be a little bit of both. It could also be that we have entered into the period of time preceding the last days known as the Beginning of Sorrows. If you’ve read my latest book, which happens to be called, The Beginning of Sorrows, you’re familiar with my thoughts on that. And I don’t think any of those three possibilities are mutually exclusive. However, if this was absolute judgment, I would expect the death toll to be much much higher than the numbers that are coming from the administration. Current worst-case scenario is around 240,000. Meanwhile, just under a million American babies are slaughtered in their mothers’ wombs every year. So, to me, anything under a million casualties from the coronavirus sounds like grace to me. The best I can do is look at the patterns in God’s Word and apply them to the world around me. I don’t get visions directly from the Almighty that inform me of exactly why things happen. However, I do find it very curious that the original outbreak hit China, perhaps the worst offender in terms of abortions, thanks to their one-child policy. Then, the epicenter moved to Post Christian Europe, where the predominate worldview has “evolved” beyond needing God or His Son Jesus Christ. Next, I can remember the absolute disgust and the chills that went up my spine last January when Governor Cuomo ordered the World Trade Tower to be lit up in pink to celebrate New York’s new law permitting the legal murder of unborn children up to the day of birth. Now, with New York City, where 60,000 abortions occur annually, as the epicenter of this horrendous global pandemic, the World Trade Tower stands like a silent monolith over an eerie apocalyptic scene of desolate streets and shuttered stores. No more is the tower lit up to celebrate anything. In its place, the spire of the Empire State building is displaying a red and white spinning light, a beacon of warning that all is not well. The photos of Governor Cuomo signing that bill into law shows him with an expression of absolute elation. But today, God has wiped that smirk from his face. I pray that he and the other wicked politicians who support these heinous laws will repen...

I talk about how COVID-19 could fit into prophecy.

    For today's show, I give a brief update on the Coronavirus Covid-19 and talk about the catastrophic economic effects this will have on America. First and foremost, stay calm. Panic can cause you to make decisions that you’ll regret later. On the flip side of that comment, complacency is probably more dangerous than even panic. In this environment, fear is a natural, normal, and even healthy response. However, as Christian’s we’re not supposed to live in fear. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you. Isaiah 41:10 That might be a good verse to put on the refrigerator or staple to your forehead depending on the level of anxiety you’re dealing with during this crisis. This crisis is the pin that our bubble economy has been looking for. Before Wuhan, China had their first case of coronavirus, the US was running a trillion-dollar deficit and the Fed was pumping nearly half a trillion into repurchase markets to keep the banks functioning. Those are not normal behaviors during times of economic prosperity. Since the crisis, the Fed has cut rates to zero and pledged another $1.5 trillion for buying treasuries and providing liquidity to ensure market stability. This has all been done in a matter of days. I’ll remind you, the entire TARP bailout package for the 2009 crisis was only $700 billion. The powers that be, the president, Fed chair, and treasury secretary are not sleeping well right now. They know that we are on the precipice of a complete economic meltdown. Even with these unprecedented measures, the market is setting record after record for single day point declines. The Dow crashes 2000 points one day then bounces back 1000 points on the following session. These wild gyrations are adding to the instability and threatening to crack the entire system. The Wall Street journal published an article calling for the government to issues stimulus payments to every American. $1000 for each adult and $500 for each child. I expect we’ll end up getting something like this before it’s all said and done. Where will the money come from? Print, print, print, print, print, print. Then, print some more. This may not be the end of the world as we know it, but it will certainly be the end of the dollar as we know it. So how do we hedge ourselves for the coming cataclysm? Ironically, I think you need to build your cash reserves. Cut unnecessary spending anywhere you can. If you have a government job, I recommend building a 3-to-6 month emergency fund. For everyone else, you should consider a 6-to-12 month emergency fund. The economy is getting pummeled. Air lines, theme parks, cruise ships, theaters, restaurants, bars, and tons of other industries are going through a financial hurricane right now and the people they employ are going to have a really rough time. This is going to have a domino effect on the entire economy. One of the effects we’re already seeing is the massive loss of wealth to retirement accounts and pension funds. Both government and private pensions were severely underfunded prior to the 30% drop in the stock market. The coming pension crisis was unavoidable before the outbreak. But now it’s on our doorstep. If you want to know how the collapse of the pension system can topple our country and bring about complete societal collapse, read or listen to the Audible version of my Black Swan series which sees this scenario as the trigger to the demise of America. Prior to this crisis, Yahoo finance had an article stating that 58% of Americans did not have $1,000 in savings to address an emergency. This crisis is going to be catastrophic. Hedge against financial collapse with gold and silver. Last night, silver dropped to $12.01 which is an 11-year low. Gold also took a beating and lost over $90 in early morning trading, hitting a low of $1,454. Both metals have recovered some but are still down significantly....
