The Social Security program is quickly approaching the point of insolvency. According to a new analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, within the next nine years—if nothing changes—the average retired couple will see their benefits reduced by $16,500. At the same time, inflation over the next nine years will likely make goods and services significantly more expensive.

We are just less than three weeks out from the 2024 election. Meaning that in about three and a half weeks—or however long it takes to count the votes—we’re going to know who will lead the country for the next four years. Regardless of who wins, however, there is a massive structural problem in America that is essentially colorblind. It’s not red, it’s not blue—so it doesn’t matter who’s in office. It’s that the design of the system will make it such that inflation will re-accelerate. The national debt currently sits at an astonishing $35 trillion. Looking at the national debt on a timeline, the increase over the last 100 years has been staggering, going from about $400 billion in 1923 to $35 trillion today—an increase of 8,750 percent. To give you some perspective on that, if the United States were to completely stop all of its spending and, instead, the federal government spent a million dollars every single minute to pay off this debt, it would never get paid off—because we’re currently paying $2 million dollars per minute just to service the interest on that debt. And so today, let’s go through the details of the situation, and why inflation is essentially the only answer to this problem—regardless of who’s in office.

For a while now, there have been two competing trends in the United States. At the federal level, there has been more centralization, the introduction of more levels of bureaucracy, more attempts to chip away at the Second Amendment, and so on. At the same time, however, at the local level, many municipalities have been moving in the opposite direction, declaring themselves to be “constitutional counties” wherein any effort to infringe on the constitutional rights of their citizens will be treated as criminal activity—even if it’s done by state or federal officials.

One of the odd things about the electoral college system is that it’s possible to produce an actual tie. Perhaps even odder than that, however, is that this year’s election is so tight (at least according to the polling data) that a tie is looking more possible by the day. So let’s go through the details of what a tie in the electoral college system would look like, what would happen afterward, and what Republicans, Democrats, and RFK Jr. are doing to hedge their bets.

With less than two months to go until Election Day, there’s a threat worth discussing that cuts across party lines. Regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in charge, Americans face the real threat of a hostile foreign actor (Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and so on) using what’s known as an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack to destroy our technological advantages. An EMP attack is one of the most deadly threats facing our country, and experts warn that it’s a lot worse than you likely even imagine.

Earlier this year, Democratic lawmakers introduced a new piece of legislation to Congress that would make it illegal for Americans to form militias.🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 The bill was introduced to both the House and Senate, and it’s officially titled the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024.” Its stated purpose is to outlaw the formation of citizen militias in the United States. However, the introduction of this bill raises a very obvious question: If this is something that lawmakers are trying to ban, then what is the legal status right now? Can ordinary American citizens form their own, local militias? To answer this question, let’s go through the legal framework surrounding militias, what this new bill is specifically trying to outlaw, and the central question of whether you—as an American citizen—can go ahead and form your own militia today.

Tap water is one of those things that many of us take for granted. Typically, as long as you pay the bill, you turn the faucet, and the water flows. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 Hackers in other countries that want to do harm to America see an opportunity. They see it as a perfect weapon—a weapon that can be used to kill, injure, or dehydrate a fairly large area. And this is no longer science fiction or a threat that we might have to worry about in the next decade. Instead, physical infrastructure is now fair game for state-sponsored hackers who have the capabilities to, among other things, poison the water supply. With the stroke of a few keys on a computer, Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean hackers are able to taint the very water that comes out of our taps. In fact, the FBI director recently revealed how a Chinese Communist Party-linked hacker group has quietly infiltrated various critical infrastructure systems in the United States, and is now just waiting for orders to strike. This is all part of the new global battlefield, where world powers don’t compete against each other directly using kinetic weapons, but rather constantly trying to exploit each other’s weaknesses under the surface. And so today, we’ll peel back the veil a little bit and give you a glimpse into these water wars, as well as some advice that you might take to protect yourself and your family. ---- Views expressed are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 🇺🇸Roman's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/RomanSpecialOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/facts_matter

Seemingly all of a sudden, we’re beginning to see outbreaks of diseases that we assumed were defeated decades ago.

There are groups in America working overtime—not to influence who people vote for, but rather to influence how the underlying election system actually operates. To be more specific, I am referring to two separate, big-money operations that are both ready to spend about $80 million each in order to determine how local elections throughout the entire country are run.

Three days ago, in a split 7–2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a victory for the administrative state. Specifically, this ruling allows for a certain government agency to continue getting its funding—not from the Treasury, but instead, from the Federal Reserve Bank. In other words, it allows the government to use the Federal Reserve (which is a quasi-private bank) to fund their pet projects.

Last year, while traveling around the Netherlands and speaking with the farmers getting kicked off their land, we also wanted to answer a fundamental underlying question. The Dutch farmers were getting off their land because the government ostensibly wanted to reduce nitrogen emissions, with the thinking being that if they didn’t reduce emissions, the environment will be ruined. However, is that really the case? Will the environment really be in danger if these nitrogen standards aren’t met? And also, what is the science behind those standards? The best weather models can only tell you the forecast for about a week out, but these government nitrogen models claim to be able to foresee the future decades in advance. And so, in order to figure this out, we went over to the home of Dr. Jaap C. Hanekamp. He’s not only a scientist who’s studied the nitrogen issue for well over eight years—and he was even commissioned by the nitrogen ministry to look into the matter—but aside from being a scientist, he’s also a theologian, giving him a very unique perspective on the matter. And what he told us about these climate models was rather shocking, to say the least.

With the upcoming presidential election only 24 weeks away, we’re seeing last-minute efforts to try and change the voting rules across many states. For instance, take the case of Wisconsin. Its state Supreme Court recently flipped from a conservative majority to a liberal majority—and now, as a result, the Wisconsin state Supreme Court is looking poised to reverse its earlier ruling regarding ballot drop boxes. This means that within the next few weeks, we can reasonably expect the Wisconsin ballot drop boxes to once again be placed on the streets—just in time for the upcoming August primaries. And given the fact that Wisconsin is a critical swing state, this decision by the state Supreme Court can have major repercussions on how the election plays itself out, as well as the results.

In a campaign speech, former President Donald Trump gave the country a glimpse into the specific method that he’ll use to try and gut the administrative state—if he gets elected again. Essentially, President Trump proposed a new policy centered around a little-known executive power—a power that was used by presidents for over 150 years before being stripped about a half-century ago. However, according to this new proposal, President Trump said that he would work to restore what’s known as the “power of impoundment.” Let’s go through exactly what this power is, its history, how it came to be lost, as well as what will need to be done to restore it. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 🇺🇸Roman's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/RomanSpecialOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/facts_matter

With multiple wars raging across the world, federal money printing is leading to inflation that’s eating away at the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.

Last year, while we were traveling around the world shooting our documentary “No Farmers No Food,” we stopped in the Netherlands to speak with the farmers there. Those farmers were feeling the brunt of the European Union’s goal of “saving the planet.” Because, as a practical matter, the Dutch government’s plan would result in something like 30 to 45 percent of Dutch farmers having to give up their land. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 In order to get a more complete picture of why this is happening, what the true reason is for these globalist policies aimed at pushing out farmers—and to help us figure out why, when you dug into the specific policies, none of them seemed to make any sense—we sat down with Dutch Member of Parliament, Mr. Thierry Baudet. He is the founder of a political party called Forum for Democracy, which is one of (if not the only) party in Europe specifically opposed to the UN’s Agenda 2030.

However, according to newly released court files, it turns out that the covers on those documents were actually put there by the FBI agents themselves. The covers were not there originally.

Unbeknownst to most people, the United Nations is actively helping and supporting the millions of migrants coming up through Central America and making their way to the United States. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 For those coming to the United States from the huge continent of South America, there are many different paths to take. However, if you look at a map, you’ll notice that all of those routes reach a choke point. This choke point is located near the border between Colombia and Panama, and it’s called the Darien Gap. It’s an area of land so inhospitable, that building roads or infrastructure there is nearly impossible—meaning that it’s a lawless area that you really want to avoid at all costs. However, if you’re a migrant coming to America, you have to go through this treacherous stretch of land in order to make your way up north—which is exactly why upwards of 10,000 people per day are crossing the Gap. What’s truly unexpected though, is what these migrants see after crossing over: the United Nations (and their affiliated NGOs) are waiting there, in Panama, on the other side of the gap, giving out food, prepaid cards, maps, as well as bus rides that’ll take them from Panama all the way through Central America, all the way through Mexico—and then, right into the United States via the southern border.

Headquartered in New Jersey, Johnson and Johnson is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It’s also one of the handful of companies that made a windfall during the pandemic with their vaccine. In fact, the Janssen shot was making the company upwards of $740 million dollar per quarter—that was, of course, before the shot was pulled off the market due to an elevated risk of serious blood clots in vaccine recipients. However, having their vaccine pulled off the market might be the least of Johnson and Johnson’s financial worries. That’s because just yesterday, the company announced a willingness to pay $6.5 billion dollar in order to settle nearly all of the lawsuits in America claiming that their baby powder (and talcum powder products) caused people to develop cancer.

As the Southern Border crisis continues to spiral out of control—with illegal immigrants flooding into America, and with no end in sight—you’re beginning to see individual conservative states take matters into their own hands. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1 Specifically, while individual states don’t have the authority to administer the national border, they do have the authority to administer their own state borders (at least to a certain degree). As such, we’re now seeing states with conservative leadership pass legislation that prohibits illegal immigrants from entering (or living in) the state. It’s basically the exact opposite of sanctuary policies. Because instead of telling illegal immigrants that they’re welcome there, these laws instead either ban them from even entering the state or, if they do enter the state, they make remaining there significantly more difficult.
