Are You Emotionally Ready for the Coming Collapse? – Part 5, by Peter Cannon

(Continued from Part 4. This concludes the article.) In Part 4 of this series, we reviewed the Merchants of the Earth, the Persecution of the Saints, and the Harvests of the Righteous and of the Unrighteous) In this concluding installment, we will study the Bowl Judgments, Earthquakes on the Rise, and the Second Coming of Jesus. The Bowl Judgments The Seal and Trumpet Judgments have passed. Now God pours out His wrath on the unbelievers with the Bowl Judgments: “And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is …


Are You Emotionally Ready for the Coming Collapse? – Part 4, by Peter Cannon

(Continued from Part 3.) In Part 3 of this series, we reviewed the Antichrist, the False Prophet, the Mark of the Beast, and the One-World Money System. In this installment, we will look at the Merchants of the Earth, the Persecution of the Saints, and the Harvests of the Righteous and the Unrighteous. The Merchants of the Earth One of the most overlooked topics from the Book of Revelation is that of the “merchants of the Earth.” (Revelation 18:11) This term appears repeatedly in Revelation, which shows the importance of certain types of commerce, especially during the Tribulation: “And the …


Are You Emotionally Ready for the Coming Collapse? – Part 3, by Peter Cannon

(Continued from Part 2.) In Part 2 of this series, we reviewed the Trumpet Judgments, and how the people on earth will be affected by these catastrophic events. I sincerely hope that the pre-Tribulation rapture believers are correct, and that Christians will be gone to heaven by this point. However, what if Christians end up having to endure part or all of the Tribulation? If so, are you emotionally prepared for this possibility? In this installment, we will look at some of the specific events associated with the False Prophet, the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast and the One-World …


Are You Emotionally Ready for the Coming Collapse? – Part 2, by Peter Cannon

(Continued from Part 1.) The Trumpets In part 1 of this series, we reviewed excerpts from my book “Revelation: Illustrated and Explained”. I discussed the Seal judgments upon the earth. Now we will discuss the Trumpet judgments, the difference between the Seals and Trumpets; the Tribulation, the Great Tribulation; and finally, the timing of the Rapture. “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.” (Revelation 8:1-2 KJV)


Are You Emotionally Ready for the Coming Collapse? – Part 1, by Peter Cannon

Introduction Much has been written about physical prepping for a future societal collapse. However, what about the mental and behavioral side of preparation? Is it possible that Christians will live through part or all of the Tribulation? If your children are crying due to hunger, would you accept the mark of the Beast to feed them? Are you willing to die for your faith and/or other convictions? These are tough questions, but we need to face them. In the future, whether it’s a grid-down blackout, an economic depression, riot-ravaged neighborhood, war-torn country or a pandemic-plagued world, are you emotionally ready …


Why Silver Continues To Be A Must-Buy, by Hubert Moolman

Editor’s Introductory Note: This analysis was published by our friend Hub Moolman on January 20th, 2026.  There is a wide range of opinion amongst precious metals market analysts on where the top might be for silver, in the current cycle. I personally expect to see a top somewhere between $125 and $195 per ounce. The bull market will probably be stopped by the combined force of legislation, executive orders, central bank intervention, and radically increased margin requirements by the metals exchanges. Presently, Asian silver buyers are unperturbed by the recent COMEX and LBMA trading rules changes. But when it comes, …


How Long Will The Silver Bull’s Rampage Continue?

Spot silver jumped 10.35% to $79.59 per troy ounce in just one day, on Friday, December 26, 2025. On that day, there were new all-time highs set for silver, platinum, and gold. Spot silver has gained a phenomenal 166% in value in 2025. And now, amazingly, a $1,000 face value bag of pre-1965 non-numismatic “junk” 90% U.S. silver coins now sells for $56,840. Though prices vary, that effectively means that the melt value of one U.S. pre-1965 silver dime (10-cent piece) is now $5.68. And today? In Monday morning trading in China, (that was early Sunday evening, in the United …


Prelude to World War – Part 2, by 3AD Scout

(Continued from Part 1.) Defense Production Act The Defense Production Act was passed in 1950.  It is an important piece of legislation that we should all know about.  Why?  Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor part of Congress (GOP) was advocating an isolationist stance regarding the war in Europe.  Since Congress controls the budget, it made providing military aid to our Allies extremely hard.  The Defense Production Act aimed at making it easier for a U.S. president to prepare the U.S. for war without “permission” from Congress.  One key part of the act is the ability of the president to …


Will The US Hit A Deflationary Wall Or Will The Fed Inflate Again In 2026?, by Brandon Smith

Editor’s Note:   This article was originally published by Birch Gold Group.  It is re-posted with permission. In a system dominated by Keynesian economics the word “deflation” is considered taboo; like saying Donald Trump’s name out loud in a crowded Seattle yoga studio. The screeching reaction you will get is rarely worth the effort of arguing the point. Every element of modern financial policy is designed to prevent a deflationary event. Every central bank policy is designed to artificially drag the economy out of deflation using whatever fiat stimulus is necessary. Of course, deflation is not always a bad thing. It’s …


Opportunity Knocks: Building and Registering Tax-Free Suppressors – Part 2

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Kaw Mach 3 Linear Compensator Conversion The suppressor-making cognoscenti tell me that the Kaw Valley Precision Mach 3 Linear Compensator is a great starting point for a .22 to 9mm-size suppressor home build. These clever devices are NOT classified as suppressors by the ATF. They are sold nationwide, with no paperwork.  They are a modular design, meaning that sections can be assembled incrementally, to whatever length you’d like. (Kaw Valley Precision also makes 2″ and 3″ extensions, and sells them separately.) It was probably just a coincidence, but the inside diameter of …


Opportunity Knocks: Building and Registering Tax-Free Suppressors – Part 1

Introductory Legal Proviso:  What I’m presenting in this article is solely for informational purposes. Consult local, state, and Federal law before buying or constructing a suppressor.  Stay legal!  Take note that the following applies only to folks who live in free states. There are many states like California and Illinois that have bans on suppressors. – JWR — As of January 1, 2026, the National Firearms Act (NFA) Tax on suppressors (called “silencers” in the legal world), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and short-barreled shotguns (SBSes) will drop from $200 per transfer to ZERO. So now, although the NFA transfer application no …


Planning Your Silver Bull Market Exit Strategy

[Updated on January 24th, 2026.] The recent physical silver shortage and the run-up in the spot and futures prices of silver (around $59 USD per Troy ounce the last time that I checked) has prompted me to issue some supplementary advice about how and when to SELL some of your silver.  We should all be ready to start slowly SELLING or trading a large part of our silver once the spot price passes $125 per ounce.  There will almost certainly be a peak and then a crash in silver. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I’ll go out on …


America’s Poison Melting Pot and the Luxury of Tolerance, by Brandon Smith

Modern western culture is an absolute anomaly in the history of human civilization. If one studies the principles and doctrines of nearly every other society and empire around the world, you will not find one that allows mass immigration of foreigners with contrary ideologies. You will not find one that allows foreigners to migrate without strict assimilation and loyalty. From the Arab states, to China, South Korea, and Japan (until recently), to India and beyond, every culture maintains a sense of cultural supremacy. There is an absolute expectation that newcomers will adapt to political policies, belief systems, social norms, etc. …


America’s Future Can Be Seen in Spain’s Past

My goal in the essay is to use a well-known historical precedent to illustrate the U.S. Federal government’s untenable indebtedness predicament. Spain, 1500-1590 In 1500, the New World had just recently been discovered, and Spain had just recently forced the Moorish invaders from the Iberian Peninsula. Expanding their army, expanding their navy, and the lengthy campaign to kick out the Moors had been expensive for the Spanish crown. They also needed to maintain a large army to keep the Islamic North Africans from returning. There were also the expenses of building and supplying a large fleet of ships, in the …


Is Global Technocracy Inevitable Or Dangerously Delusional?, by Brandon Smith

The bewildering truth behind human technological enslavement is that it is impossible without the voluntary participation of the intended slaves. People must welcome technocracy into their lives in order for it to succeed. The populace has to believe, blindly, that they cannot live without it, or that authoritarianism by algorithmic consensus is “inevitable.” For example, the average person living in a first world economy voluntarily carries a cell phone everywhere they go at all times without fail. To be without it, in their minds, is to be naked, at risk, unprepared and disconnected from civilization. I grew up in the …
