The Media Would Like To Dismiss It But End Times Beliefs Have Gone Mainstream
Propagandists For Globalism Depend On Censorship:
Perhaps I’m being too optimistic, but I think fewer people are buying into the hardcore cult propaganda that Marxist-globalists rain down on the world every day.
I see a few more rolled eyes around me when someone blames a thunderstorm on “climate change.” The last few stragglers of committed COVID-hyperventilators have taken off their paper masks when out in public (and have pleasantly discovered that abnormally rapid breathing disappears once dirty rags are removed from one’s face). I’ve heard more “trans”-enablers stating clearly that biological boys should not be in girls’ locker rooms or competing in their sports. More celebrities and academics (many of whom have proudly identified as atheists in the recent past) have begun to read the Bible and openly discuss the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Is the world healing? Has the ideological pendulum begun to swing back toward sanity? Have the Marxist-globalists dosed the world with so much propaganda over the years that the effectiveness of their lies is starting to fade? Does that mean the last century of Marxist-globalist sociological conditioning is beginning to wear off?
I think the lies that Marxist-globalists regularly tell have become too preposterous for the average person to swallow anymore.
Last week, the apocalypse-whisperer Al Gore was at a Hollywood “climate change” event honoring how wonderfully stupid all his celebrity friends are. Joined by The West Wing alum Bradley Whitford, both men discussed the likelihood that Earth will descend into another ice age in ten to twenty-five years. They referenced Roland Emmerich’s 2004 wintry disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, in describing what we should expect. Prepare for snowdrifts!
Listening to this kind of doomsaying-lunacy the average person says to himself, “I thought you told us that ‘global warming’ was going to incinerate us? Now you’re predicting snow?” Gore’s wildly inaccurate, scaremongering, anti-science, fever dream, An Inconvenient Truth, predicted that the Arctic Ocean’s summer ice would be gone by 2013 (wrong!) and that Mt. Kilimanjaro would have no snow by 2015 (also wrong!). The snake oil salesman who became filthy rich by selling disaster porn to the world promised that rising temperatures would soon (as in at least a decade ago!) leave Manhattan and Miami under twenty feet of water. Now, in 2026, apparently “global warming” is so last decade’s fashion, and we’re back to “global cooling” again! We already did “global cooling” during the 1970s! Does that mean bell-bottoms, disco, “blaxploitation” films, and kung fu will be making comebacks, too?
A century of the “little boy who cried wolf” telling us that using hydrocarbon fuels (or what the oh-so-educated “elites” among us call “fossil fuels” in order to pretend that everything runs on dinosaurs) would cause the planet to freeze…or perhaps burn…or maybe change our climate (Duh, the climate is always naturally changing, you idiots!)…or produce a tornado somewhere in the Midwest…has forced a lot of people to ask, “Why should we trust ‘The Science’ when ‘The Science’ sounds a lot like propaganda?” When Marxist-globalists doubled down by turning a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, into the world’s leading authority on “climate science,” people capable of thinking beyond the limits of government programming finally had enough.
People are now waking up to a rather startling set of propositions: Marxist-globalist governments lie to them regularly. Those lies cause harm to citizens. When citizens complain, Marxist-globalist governments tell more lies and try to redirect blame (It’s Trump’s fault; It’s Putin’s fault; It’s that blasted ‘global warming’!). When citizens see through those lies, too, Marxist-globalist governments turn to the same blunt instrument that all totalitarian governments choose: censorship.
Europe pushes global military spending to record high
Worldwide military expenditure rose 2.9% in real terms last year to reach $2.887 trillion, marking the 11th consecutive annual increase and lifting the global military burden to 2.5% of GDP, the report said. SIRPI experts explained the trend by citing several ongoing conflicts and persisting geopolitical tensions.
The entire European continent accounted for the largest regional increase, with spending rising 14% to $864 billion. SIPRI linked the surge to the Ukraine conflict, a standoff with Russia, and “the ongoing pursuit of European self-reliance alongside increasing pressure from the United States to strengthen burden sharing within the alliance.”
In total, European NATO members spent a combined $559 billion in 2025, with Germany’s outlays rising 24% to $114 billion and Spain’s jumping 50% to $40.2 billion.
US military expenditure fell 7.5% to $954 billion, with SIPRI linking a surprise decline to the Trump administration’s refusal to approve new assistance packages to Ukraine, in contrast to previous years when $127 billion in direct military support had been authorized.
The US, however, has continued deliveries via the NATO-coordinated PURL program, with other Western countries footing the bill.
Last week, Pentagon officials also said that US President Donald Trump was advocating a military budget of $1.5 trillion to provide funds for the new Golden Dome missile system, AI capabilities, and a new class of battleships.
SIPRI noted Russia’s defense expenditure grew 5.9% to $190 billion, while Ukraine increased spending by 20% to $84.1 billion, equivalent to 40% of GDP, becoming the seventh-largest military spender in the world.
Elsewhere, China increased military spending by 7.4% to $336 billion, while Japan’s expenditure rose 9.7% to $62.2 billion, and Taiwan’s by 14% to $18.2 billion.
Moscow has repeatedly condemned what it described as reckless militarization by the EU, adding that it is aimed at Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has also suggested that European propaganda seeks to turn Russia into a “model external enemy” to divert attention from internal crises.
Terry James: Sudden Destruction
For years I’ve had Jesus’ prophecy of Luke 17:28–30 at the center of the message I believe our Lord wants delivered at this late hour of the Church Age:
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (Luke 17:28–30)
Well, that message hasn’t changed. It still resonates as the one prophecy I believe is most directly meant for this sin-darkening planet that’s on the cusp of receiving God’s wrath because of humankind’s rebellion against Him.
Jesus said when He next intervenes into the evil affairs of earth’s inhabitants, the “righteous” will be removed. In the “days of Lot” in Jesus’ prophecy, it was Lot and his family who were removed because Lot was considered the only one in Sodom who was righteous. In the case of Christ’s next intervention, He indicated that another righteous entity will be removed to safety. This, of course, will be all who believe in Jesus for salvation–collectively called the Church.
I always preface what I say about that moment of Rapture with Jesus’ statement that, at the time, people of earth will, as in Sodom of Lot’s day, be buying, selling, planting, building, and marrying—in other words, going about business as usual.
Even with all the evil going on now–and it’s probably worse than it was in ancient Sodom and Gomorrah—it is still business as usual, as I view it. Despite the evil–the wars and rumors of war, the deception, the ethnic upheaval all over the planet—there isn’t yet catastrophic disruption of life on earth.
So, in this sense, our time is exactly like Jesus predicted in Luke 17:28–30.
As we know, the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. And the destruction apparently came immediately following Lot’s removal. The cities were decimated; for millennia, scientists and archaeologists thought the Bible’s account of the destruction to be myth. But in most previous decades, there is evidence that indeed these cities were destroyed, and even sulfur residue of the region at the south end of the Dead Sea proves that something devastatingly powerful blasted the area. Pottery shards and other evidence that humans once inhabited the region are still being extracted from beneath the earth’s surface there.
The Fertilizer Shock of 2026-2027: A Man-Made Famine in the Making
We are watching a catastrophe unfold that was entirely predictable. The current fertilizer crisis is not a natural disaster -- it is the direct result of globalist policies, financialization, and a just-in-time supply chain that prioritizes profit over food security. The triple shock -- the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, China’s export ban, and Russia’s quota system -- has already doubled urea prices in many markets, but the real story is how vulnerable countries have been left exposed by a system that values corporate margins over human lives. In my view, the mainstream media and international institutions are downplaying the severity because they have no solution that doesn’t challenge their own power structures.
The historical record shows that manmade famines are not accidents but engineered outcomes. As William Maxwell McCord wrote, “Manmade famines in Asia and Africa, the worldwide debt crisis, political tyranny and corruption…” . We are now repeating that pattern on a global scale. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned back in 2022 that high fertilizer prices could cause global grain production to plummet by 40 percent . That warning was ignored, and now we are living the consequences. The crisis is not a surprise; it is a choice made by those who run the system.
The Human Toll: Tier 1 and Tier 2 Countries on the Edge of Famine
The numbers are staggering: approximately one-fourth of all globally traded nitrogen fertilizer normally travels through the Strait of Hormuz . That artery is now effectively closed. The UN has warned that this disruption threatens one-third of the global fertilizer trade at a critical moment for spring planting, and could trigger a broader food crisis unless shipments resume quickly . But no one is listening.
Sudan is the most exposed -- more than half its fertilizer comes from the Gulf, the country is in the grip of a civil war, and its planting season runs from June to July. This is a recipe for mass starvation, and it is being treated as a secondary concern. Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka each face their own ticking clock: fertilizer that doesn’t arrive by May is fertilizer that won’t be applied.
The ripple effects will hit the lean season of 2027. Even countries like India and Brazil have some buffers through stockpiles or later planting windows, but that only masks the systemic fragility. The poorest smallholders in Bihar or the Sahel have no such safety net. As one study notes, “below certain income levels it may simply not be possible to obtain an adequate diet” . These are the people who will die first.
Where Political Instability Will Concentrate
The political fallout is just as predictable as the food shortages. Countries where food already consumes over 50 percent of household income -- Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh -- are defenseless against a 25 to 30 percent price spike. History shows that food riots topple governments. The link between food prices and political stability is well documented: “another indirect indication of food problems in specific areas is the price of food in relation to income levels, that is, the ability to purchase food” . When that ability evaporates, the social contract breaks.
