“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
KJV Matthew 24 6-7
“These are the Times that Try Men’s Souls.” Thomas Paine
If you are watching what is going on in the world it is very unsettling. I went out with friends for a birthday breakfast a few weeks ago. We were discussing what to do to be prepared. One of the women said it was just overwhelming to think about all the things they needed in order to be prepared for emergencies and bad times. I said, “That’s not the way to approach preparedness. It is best if you pray about what you need to do and then start doing one thing at a time.” Certainly you can make a list of things you want to do and work on preparing those things. Our website, as I have said before, has basic preparedness information under issues and preparedness. www.nevadafamilies.org
One of my biggest concerns is the treasonous criminals who control our nation in the White House and Congress. The American people have been betrayed in every way. We have a full blown invasion of foreign military age men and criminals at the border and we are paying them, providing everything they need while Americans are suffering and crime is increasing.
Our economy has been undermined by out-of-control government spending by both parties for decades and accelerated by Biden. The natural result is massive debt which now exceeds $34 Trillion. https://www.usdebtclock.org/ This puts our dollar at risk of collapsing.
The debt ratio to Gross Domestic Product was 97% at the end of 2023. Consider if you owed 97% of all your income where you would be financially. This debt is at a 74 year high and unsustainable. Domestic creditors owned 77% of U.S. government debt in 2023. Banks which bought Treasuries when interest rates were low are now underwater in their investments because interest rates have risen. Because of this many banks are in trouble financially and could fail.
Foreign investors including foreign countries owned 23% of U.S. government debt. Nations like China and Japan have been significantly reducing their holdings of U.S. Treasuries because of their concerns about U.S. financial stability. What nation wants to buy U.S. Treasuries from a nation which is $34 Trillion in debt?
The most preposterous statistic is that the Federal Reserve in 2022 owned 34% of U.S. debt. That’s because others are not buying U.S. debt. The Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air making an entry into a computer and then tells the U.S. Treasury to print the dollars which say on them “Federal Reserve Note”, in other words a debt we owe the private Federal Reserve bank. It’s all in incredible scam. We can never get out of debt because U.S. Federal Reserve Notes are put into circulation by creating debt.
Our economy has also been undermined by outsourcing, courtesy of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and huge corporations, hoping to save money by paying people from other countries slave labor wages. It made for cheap foreign products from China and other countries for American
consumers while off shoring our entire industrial base and good paying jobs.
Congress gave up its Constitutional power to control the creation of money with the authorization in 1913 of the Federal Reserve Act which made the private Federal Reserve bank America’s central bank. The huge problem with this is that it has eroded the value of our dollar. Since 1913 the value of the dollar through inflation has lost over 96% of its value. That means today's dollar would be worth less than 4 cents back in 1913. So as inflation rages the value of your dollar and the cost of all goods, food, gas, and everything else goes up…up…up.
What are your options for protecting yourself and your family? That is the question we are all asking. We must all answer that for ourselves. Some recommend gold, silver, or cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. My first priority has always been useful items like food, medicine, tools, and household products like detergent, soap, extra clothing and shoes. As the dollar loses value the cost of those items will continue to increase. In times of crisis nobody trades beans for gold. So have enough supplies before you consider other options. You must pray and consider what is best for you.
“The history of fiat currency (currency like the U.S. dollar backed by nothing) is more or less the same in each circumstance. The government prints too much, creates inflation or hyperinflation and the currency is rejected. Every fiat currency has failed because eventually fiat ceases to function as a store of value and a medium of exchange.” Hard Money History: https://www.hardmoneyhistory.com/history-of-fiat-currency-failures/#:~:text=The%20history%20of%20fiat%20currency,and%20a%20medium%20of%20exchange .
Supercharged Spying Provision Buried in “Terrifying” FISA Reauthorization
The U.S. House passed the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act without the provision to require warrants which died on a 212 to 212 tie. The final vote was 126 Republicans and 147 Democrats in favor and 88 Republicans and 59 Democrats opposed. The U.S. Senate may vote on it by April 19.
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) called this "one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history." Buried in Section 702 reauthorization bill (RISSA) is the biggest expansion of domestic surveillance since the Patriot Act. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/supercharged-spying-provision-buried-terrifying-fisa-702-reauthorization
Excerpts from Zero Hedge, “Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of “electronic communications surveillance provider,” an amendment offered by House intel committee (HPSCI) leaders and passed by the House vastly expands the universe of entities that can be compelled to assist the NSA (National Security Agency).
“If the bill becomes law, any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever may be forced to assist in NSA surveillance, as long as they have access to equipment on which communications are transmitted or stored—such as routers, servers, cell towers, etc. That sweeps in an enormous range of U.S. businesses that provide wifi to their customers and therefore have access to equipment on which communications transit. Barber shops, laundromats, fitness centers, hardware stores, dentist’s offices… the list goes on and on.
“It also includes commercial landlords that rent out the office space where tens of millions of Americans go to work every day—offices of journalists, lawyers, nonprofits, financial advisors, health care providers, and more…
“There are certain powers a government should not have in a democracy. The ability to force ordinary businesses and individuals to serve as surrogate spies is one of them. Even if the targets are supposed to be foreigners, a power this sweeping WILL be abused…”

The Real “Threat to Democracy” WHO
APRIL 15, 2024, by Kristen A. Ullman, President, Eagle Forum
The Left loves to call any person or policy they disagree with a “threat to democracy.” Put aside for a moment the fact the United States is not a democracy but a constitutional and federal republic. The biggest threat to our form of government — and one being pushed by the Biden Administration and largely ignored by Congress — are the upcoming votes on two World Health Organization (WHO) instruments that violate our representative system.
According to the Arizona State University, Center for American Civics, “A constitutional republic means one in which, rather than directly governing, the people select some of their members to temporarily serve in political office; the constitutional part means that both the citizens and their governing officials are bound to follow the rules established in that Constitution. A federal republic is one in which a federal government is given only limited powers for limited purposes, while state governments retain most powers of government.” Each element of our constitutional system is at risk if the Administration and Congress fail to stop the WHO’s global governance scheme.
The instruments under consideration by the WHO are the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the concurrent Pandemic Treaty, both of which will be voted on by the World Health Assembly (made up of the 196 Member States) in less than two months. The purpose of these documents is to give the WHO Director-General the sole ability to not only declare public health emergencies of international concern (PHEIC) but to mandate for every nation the global response such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, mandatory testing and vaccinations, and border closures. In addition, nations will be forced to spend billions of dollars to implement this global governance framework based on the principle of “equity.”
First, this is a “threat to our constitutional republic” because it removes the people’s elected representatives from their decision-making roles. Our elected officials on the local, state, and federal levels will no longer control when and what is considered a PHEIC or what the government response will be. The Director General will have the sole authority to make declarations not only for actual pandemics but for any issue that has the potential to affect global health. Think climate change, gun violence, food security, access to abortion, transgender ‘medical care’, and any other so-called threat to public health. The WHO has already weighed in on the ‘global health risks’ tied to each of these hot-button political issues. There will be no ability for citizens to vote for or against the decision-makers, undermining the very concept of representative democracy.
In addition, these documents are a threat to the constitutional protections we now enjoy. The establishment of a global surveillance state by the WHO threatens the basic privacy rights of all Americans while the requirement in these accords for nations to “combat false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation” could easily violate our First Amendment freedom of speech. Each nation will be required to share intellectual property for use by other countries, decimating our unique American patent rights. Our constitutional protections will be undermined if the WHO gets its way.
Finally, under our federal system, the regulation of healthcare is under the purview of the states, including regulating the licensure of doctors, pharmacies, and hospitals and determining what vaccinations are required for school attendance. We experienced this clearly during the Covid crisis, when state and local leaders had, for the most part, the ability to decide when and how businesses and schools would reopen. Under the Pandemic Treaty and accompanying IHR amendments, this authority will be stripped from the states and given to an international organization in clear violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.
To add insult to the very real injury about to befall us is the fact that the Administration plans to sign onto the Pandemic treaty and IHR amendments by “executive agreement” rather than submit them to the Senate for its constitutionally mandated advice and consent. –Continued on back-
Critical: We need to understand the World Health Organization Agreement will bypass the Constitutional process which requires the Senate to agree to any treaties. The President ALONE will sign this agreement destroying our Constitutional Rights and Liberties.
U.S. Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121 for Nevada’s Senators Jackie Rosen and
Catherine Cortez Masto.
Continued: The Real Threat to “Democracy”
And the US Senate appears to be willing to accept this usurpation of their power. Last March, Senator Ron Johnson offered an amendment to require a Senate vote on the Pandemic Treaty, but it failed to gain even one Democrat vote. This dereliction of duty on behalf of the Senate should not be excused.
Is there a “threat to democracy” facing our country today? Yes, indeed. It is the threat to our very constitutional republic by the World Health Organization via its proposed Pandemic Treaties and the refusal of the Administration and Senate to do anything to stop it. This threat is not rhetorical but very real. And we, as Americans, must unite against it.
Note: Eagle Forum is working with the Sovereignty Coalition trying to Stop the WHO threat.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
