Are Apocalyptic Events Closing In On Us?

Posted by Mark Sircus on 09 July 2010

After watching some of the videos you will see in this essay, I cried and felt remorse for living on this planet at this particular moment in human history where we all must confront a terrible destiny whose clear outline is taking shape in the Gulf States. Life is hard but about to get exponentially more difficult for just about everyone who is not prepared for what is coming down on us at an accelerating pace. And with the natural laws of synchronicity working fine, as they usually do, we can expect even more surprises than the ones that are already showing up on the radar. Standby for evasive action!

The mainstream and of course the government cannot possibly deal honestly with anything that is going on “but there comes a point when the news is so bad that it simply must be presented with some level of comprehensiveness. And that is happening today,” writes The Daily Bell, which also says, “in order to maintain the credibility of mainstream news organizations, a good deal of real information must be reported, both good and bad.”

Well the bad is leaking out all over the place especially in the Gulf of Mexico where perhaps the greatest disaster humanity has ever had to face is taking place. What I have to write about today is not for the faint hearted or for fluff balls who just want everyone to be nice and want serious problems to go away by themselves. Life, as it is being presented to us in 2010, is not for the weak. In fact many of our concepts and defenses are going to be rolled over by events happening on far shores as well by local environments near our homes.

I wish it was the only one great disaster humanity has to face but that is not the case. We have a story of biblical proportions shaping up but centered most strongly in the North American continent where the richest nation on earth goes through her death throws, which will probably be violent ones. What is happening though is happening to the world. One does not have to be a psychic today to see the handwriting on the wall but our resistance to change is paramount to keeping people frozen like dear caught in front of headlights.

We have a nightmarish ecological disaster riding on top of financial and economic disasters meeting up with a violent climate change and global cooling, which is directly threatening world food supplies. Four horsemen are riding in our collective direction and their hoofs are going to crush a great part of humanity. Some people are very happy about that since their goal is to reduce humanity down to about 500 million souls who they will abuse and control. And this speaks nothing of our current wars, the wars that are ominous, or the political and corporate leadership that cannot face any of these threats in an intelligent and compassionate way.

Most people cannot hear the hoofs of the four apocalyptic horsemen coming up the street. The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.” The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times. The third horseman was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place. The fourth horseman is symbolic of death and devastation.

Great Famine

Several recent headlines indicate that food prices will continue their climb upward. These troubling new reports show that agriculture production and stored grains are critically low and experts are predicting food shortages. The very likely possibility of a food shortage scare is rising as crop conditions deteriorate across the world. We are talking big potatoes here so eat up while you can. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) just cut the acreage for corn planting this year by one million from the 88 million projected on March 31, left traders using terms such as “game-changer” and “shocking”. The government report showed one million fewer acres of corn planted this year than earlier projected, and almost 300 million fewer bushels of corn in storage. That’s a lot of food! Now add about 25 million acres under water in Canada and that’s a lot of bellies going to go hungry in the north next winter.

“If the USDA is right, then it turns out we don’t have those big corn surpluses after all, and that leaves the market vulnerable to weather,” said Don Roose, president of US Commodities in West Des Moines.

It’s bad news all around the world. Thailand and Vietnam, the world’s two largest rice exporters, face severe drought conditions that threaten to severely undermine this year’s crops and global supplies. Severe food shortage follows lack of rainfall in Syria. And now crops are being damaged by the toxic rain from the Gulf oil disaster. Mounting evidence suggests that the oil dispersant, Corexit 9500, can phase transition and could be entering clouds to form a toxic rain over the region.

On July 1st Governor Chris Gregoire asked U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to designate 29 counties in Washington as farm disaster areas due to weather-related losses. The damage was the result of extreme weather conditions throughout the spring, including severe cold, high winds and excessive rains. Potato and alfalfa crops were severely damaged after a freezing wind swept through east Idaho in the middle of June. Temperatures dropped to as low as 28 degrees, freezing the crops within minutes. Don’t let the eastern seaboard heat fool you; it’s getting cooler in the world because the Federal Reserve could not figure out a way of extending credit to the sun so it would increase solar output.

The evidence is mounting as one region after another checks in with their disasters – whether too much rain or too little, the cold, toxic pollution destroying a rich sea source of foods in the Gulf or acid oil rain destroying foods on land – that the world will begin to run out of food at the end of 2010 and 2011. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead to mass starvation as initially price will determine availability. In the face of food shortages, life will change dramatically and in a very short period of time. So plant your gardens now! You don’t have to be an end-of-times survivalist to believe that planting and storing food is pragmatic. Everyone with resources can and should design a good food storage and rotation system and buy bulk food as an investment along with creating self-sufficiency.

Toxic Wastelands

The world’s corporations are doing approximately $2.2 trillion worth of damage to the environment every year according to a report commissioned by the U.N. Environment Program and the Principles for Responsible Investment Initiative. The study was carried out by researchers from the London-based consulting firm Trucost, which portends a ghastly story of death, disease and destruction. Part of this toxicity is having an impact on the quality and even quantity of food available on our dinner plates; and this going on year after year is rising up to strike our cells like poisonous snakes.
