Can you believe that it is the second half of 2022 already? I don’t know about you, but to me it seems like time goes by faster with each passing year. Perhaps that is just because I am getting older. In any event, the first six months of 2022 are already in the tank. During those six months, the largest land war in Europe since World War II has erupted, inflation has spiraled out of control all over the world, we have plunged into the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, a horrifying bird flu pandemic has killed tens of millions of turkeys and chickens in the U.S. alone, the worst monkeypox outbreak in history has begun, the S&P 500 had the worst start to a year since 1970, and global leaders have been relentlessly warning us that we are heading into an “unprecedented” planetary food crisis. Unfortunately, I expect the second half of 2022 to be even worse.
Recently, I have been finding myself using the word “accelerate” a lot in my discussions with other people. Global events have certainly accelerated during the first half of this year, and I am convinced that they will accelerate even more during the second half.
In particular, I believe that things will really start getting crazy once summer is over.
Let me give you a few areas that I will be focusing on in the months ahead. The following are 5 trends to watch for during the second half of 2022…
#1 Economic Shaking
Obviously things have not gone well economically during the first half of this year. Inflation is raging all over the globe, and economic activity is slowing down everywhere that you look. Based on the latest reading from the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model, it appears that the U.S. economy has already plunged into a recession. I expect the U.S. economy to continue to deteriorate as we move toward the end of 2022, but I am actually far more concerned about economic conditions in Europe.
The war in Ukraine has hit European economies really hard, and now many of them are potentially facing very serious shortages of natural gas this winter. The EUR/USD is rapidly approaching parity, and this is something that I have been anticipating for years. Once the EUR/USD drops below parity, I think that the dominoes in Europe are going to start falling fairly rapidly.
Meanwhile, I expect inflation rates to remain elevated all over the planet, and this is going to continue to cause tremendous problems.
#2 Widespread Famines
The head of the UN has publicly warned us that we are moving into an “unprecedented global hunger crisis”, and people are already starting to drop dead from starvation in some parts of eastern Africa. Sadly, I believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even before the war in Ukraine started, we were already headed into a major food crisis thanks to the soaring price of fertilizer and extremely bizarre global weather patterns. Now the war in Ukraine has reduced the flow of agricultural exports from one of the key breadbaskets in the world to just a trickle. At the same time, food production is going to come in well below expectations all over the planet due to a variety of factors that I have been documenting on my websites.
Food prices have already risen very aggressively, but the biggest problem will be the food that is not grown in the months ahead. There simply is not going to be enough food for everyone, and that is going to cause enormous societal stress all over the globe in late 2022 and beyond.

#3 More War
The conflict in Ukraine has become extremely bitter and extremely bloody. Unfortunately, it appears that it is not going to end any time soon. I would love to see a peaceful resolution to the war, because I think that is what would be best for everyone. But the president of Ukraine does not want to negotiate even though his government is losing more territory with each passing day.
So this horrible war will just keep going month after month, and the U.S. just keeps getting more deeply involved. Needless to say, at some point this proxy war between the U.S. and Russia could evolve into a shooting war between our two nations, and that is a scenario that we should be working very hard to avoid.
On the other side of the globe, I believe that China is planning on invading Taiwan while Joe Biden is still in office. They have seen how powerless he has been to stop the Russians, and I think that they are convinced that they have a window of opportunity to “reunify” with Taiwan by force. But I actually think that another major war will start first.
The IAEA is now telling us that Iran “possesses enough fissile material to construct a nuclear bomb”, and that is a threshold that Israel always said that they would never allow the Iranians to cross.
Israel and Iran are already engaged in a “shadow war”, but I am entirely convinced that it will soon escalate into a full-blown regional conflict. It may begin in a way that you might not expect, but one way or another it is going to happen. Hopefully it will not erupt during the second half of this year, but the clock is definitely ticking.
#4 Pestilences
We already have COVID. In fact, they are now telling us that the worst version of the disease that we have seen so far is now circulating widely in the United States.
We are also dealing with a nightmarish bird flu pandemic which has killed tens of millions of our chickens and our turkeys. On top of everything else, the number of monkeypox cases continues to rise at an exponential rate. But I believe that more outbreaks are on the way.
We have entered an era when mad scientists all over the globe are monkeying around with the deadliest bugs that mankind has ever known. And as time moves along, I believe that bad actors will increasingly use diseases that have been cooked up in labs as weapons.
#5 Geophysical Shaking
Let’s just call this one a hunch. Unlike the first four areas that I have discussed, geophysical events have not made a lot of headlines lately.
Yes, there have been unusual earthquakes in diverse places such as South Carolina, and the sun has been behaving strangely in recent days, but overall things have been relatively quiet. Unfortunately, I expect that to change.
If you disagree with me, that is perfectly fine. Let’s just watch and see how things play out. Two years ago I tried to give everyone a big picture overview of what was coming, and since that time so many of the things that I listed have either happened or have started to happen.
We really have entered a “perfect storm”, and those that are still waiting for life to go back to “normal” are going to be bitterly disappointed. If you always thought that it would be wonderful to live during one of the most important times in human history, you are about to get your wish.
What was once unthinkable will soon become reality, and nothing will ever be the same again.

I don’t believe bird ‘flu is killing our chickens. I think the government is killing them. They are orchestrating this famine.
Govts across the globe are orchestrating almost everything. Nearly EVERYTHING they claim is a lie on top of a lie on top of fake stats and manipulated data. Climate change is a perfect example. In fact whatever, they say it’s the opposite. Like with CLimate change. Do a Brave search of 600M Temp & CO2 chart and you will see we have been in a very long term and medium term COOLING trend. In fact, even these past few years we have begun cooling even more. The manipulate the raw data to peddle the narrative that CO2, a trace gas that is 0.045% of the air, of which mman only contribute less than 5% FOLLOWS temps…not the other way around. We have perfectly sound science to explain why….our oceans, clouds, and sun.
Then we get on to the LIE that is Germ theory and the entire field of voodoo field virology. NONE….NO ONE of what THEY call viruses have EVER been isolated. Not Polio, not Measles, not the latest scam and certainly not the ridiculous bird flus. Go on BitChute and watch “The Viral Delusion” or “The End of Germ Theory” by Spacebusters. People need to wake up and do more research and stop taking what our govt says as truth…..nothing they say is true…..everything is a lie.
Did someone just read the book of revelations?
