If you take a quick glance around at how things are going in our country, heck, in our world, at the moment, you likely won’t come away with positive vibes for the future of our race. And by race, I don’t mean the amount of melanin a person has in their skin, nor where they were born, but the actual race, humanity, that every single one of us belongs to. Yes, things do indeed look rather bleak for the days ahead, don’t they?
Take a look at the kind of entertainment that’s popular today. Shows like “The Walking Dead,” or “The Last of Us” are chock full of apocalyptic themes, demonstrating what happens when society collapses and human beings are left to their base nature. It’s not good, folks. People war with each other. Life suddenly becomes meaningless and lacks value. Murder and rape become common occurrences.
Perhaps part of the reason these programs, which paint a grim picture of our fate, are so popular because we know, deep down, we’re headed down a pretty dark road here in the real world. Events that have unfolded around the world — terrorist attacks in Israel, the war between Russia and Ukraine, China meeting with Hamas — have caused people to lose faith in their leaders, and for good reason. Playing politics seems to be all that matters to those in charge. Keeping their cushy jobs and making themselves rich while we languish due to their policies.
One of the most harsh realizations for people who have been waking up to what’s really going on is that when things go sideways, nobody will come to the rescue. They will be on their own and so they need to be prepared. This is why the purchasing of emergency food and other kinds of supplies has hit record levels.
Some of the most prominent voices in our culture today are now talking, out in the open, about the bleakness of the future, which wasn’t the case a few years ago. Extremely popular podcast host, Joe Rogan, who isn’t a religious man by any stretch of the imagination, recently said that with was bad as things are getting, now would be a great time for Jesus to return:
“Like if he came back now, it would be great,” Rogan said. “Jesus, if you’re thinking about coming back, now’s a good time. Now’s a good time.”
As long as I’ve known about Rogan and his podcast and listened to his program, I’ve never heard him speak in such a manner. That’s how serious things are getting right now. In fact, in a different episode of the program, Rogan stated that he feels “something big is coming” and noted that when he sits back and thinks about that, it scares him. Millions of others likely feel the same way, especially when you look at the news and see the world crumbling to pieces.
You know it’s getting seriously dark when the richest individuals in our society begin to prepare for the worst. The Daily Star recently stated in an article:
Podcaster Christina Randall claims that Zuckerberg’s bunker is just the latest of around 15 doomsday shelters being built by billionaires around the globe.
“It is definitely very interesting that they’re choosing to build something that sounds like it could be fully self-sustaining, especially if something catastrophic happened to the world and it was no longer habitable,” she said.
“Why not just build a regular old mansion or some kind of commercial facility that could generate Zuckerberg even more money?”
She stressed: “This building is definitely not cheap, it is estimated to cost over $270 million and it looks like this is going to be the largest private personal construction project in human history. We’re talking about over a quarter of a billion dollars.”
Our leaders continue to tell us everything’s fine and not to worry, but if that’s true, how come so many of the rich and famous are now constructing bunkers and compounds? Yeah, you won’t get a straight answer.
A lot of normal folk are also worried about what is coming down the pike. Billions are now being spent on emergency food supplies and other necessities and it is believed the number of sales of these products will shatter all previous records.
According to Fox Business:
Americans need to consider the vulnerablity of the U.S. food supply and make plans accordingly, Nelson argues.
“I just think a lot of people don’t know where food comes from. They don’t understand the distribution system. If they understood how that works, that there’s about two weeks worth of food in any distribution system around the United States, once those systems start to break down, the availability of food is going to drop to near zero. And so what people think they have in their cabinets that will help them survive is very different than actually sitting down and doing an analysis of caloric intake for your family, what they need for not just survivability, but maybe even thriveability,” he said.
If the COVID pandemic taught us one thing, it’s that once the supply chain and distribution system falls apart, store shelves will empty out fast. This is why it’s critical to make sure you’re prepared ahead of time. You can avoid the panic and madness that unfolds around the world as people scramble and do whatever is necessary to get food to feed their families.
Some people have taken things to the next level and have moved to a totally different part of the country in order to prepare for what might be coming.
Milan Adams wrote an article where she laid out some important factors to think about if you are mulling over such a move yourself:
- Low population density (40 people per sq. mile or less)
- Distance to major/minor cities (50+ miles away)
- Distance to military bases (50+ miles away)
- Distance to nuclear power plants (100+ miles away)
- Distance to interstate highways
- Low poverty rate
- Low violent crime rate
She also provided a list of natural factors to consider when picking a new place to live:
- Easy access to fresh water
- Abundance of wild game
- Low natural disaster risk
- Dense forest cover
- Adequate soil textures
- Adequate rainfall
- Low drought risk
The social order in our country is really beginning to break down as crime rates skyrocket. As of this writing, there are 90,000 packages a day being stolen in New York City. That’s a massive number. Another way to put it is that a whopping 90,000 crimes are occurring in the city every single day. At least. There are lots more.
Just last weekend a mob of young people from San Francisco went completely wild:
A Waymo autonomous vehicle was set on fire Saturday night after it was vandalized by a group of people in Chinatown, San Francisco firefighters said.
The vehicle was traveling on Jackson Street, between Stockton and Grant, about 9:25 p.m. when it was surrounded by about 10 to 15 people, Lt. Mariano Elias with San Francisco fire said.
Several social media videos showed a group of people vandalizing the self-driving car. While another video showed the Waymo vehicle going up in flames.
BREAKING: An autonomous Waymo vehicle is intentionally set on fire in Chinatown, according to SF Fire. Firefighters said they got reports around 10 people were involved.

Think about this for a moment.
If people are behaving this badly now, how much worse will they be when things really go south? I don’t think that’s something I even want to imagine.
Millions of folks from coast-to-coast have revealed they have negative feelings about what’s down the road. I have a feeling that we’ll soon see why.
