My spidey senses are tingling just like they were in January of 2020, and I think I’ve finally (mostly) pieced together why they’re tingling.
I want to preface this post by saying none of this is meant to be conveyed in a spirit of fear. It’s all about offers and consent. I simply see converging lines creating conditions where choices regarding the offers put forth—and withdrawing consent related to them—will become increasingly tricky and challenging. This is especially true because so many of us have become reliant on “the system” in so many facets of life.
With that said, I firmly believe that if we trust in God, collaborate in our local communities, cultivate more resiliency and inter-autonomy (self-governance and relative self-sufficiency while still depending on each other in community), and reconnect with the natural world and the deepest parts of ourselves, we will be more than okay—we will thrive. We have the power and authority to actualize Christ’s kingdom here. We will create pockets of the beautiful world our hearts know is possible across the Earth. And while that knowing is firmly rooted in me, what’s also true is that…
Over the last 5 years, America has lost roughly 150,000 independent family farms.
In the last year, US Chapter 12 family farm bankruptcies have surged by 46%, while sector-wide agricultural debt has climbed to a record-breaking $624.7 billion.
Climatologists (not that I lend a lot of credence to what they say…) are expecting a record-breaking Super El Niño that could trigger severe weather patterns across the world, which would severely impact crop yields. We can only speculate on whether this is due to naturally occurring cycles in this realm, geoengineering, the collective’s emotional state (weather = we-aether), or somewhere in between. I tend to think it’s all of it, but that’s total speculation. I am not advocating for worrying about this, but rather having awareness of what is being stated and projected. We need to know that our individual and collective state of Being influences what IS at any given time. Weather = water-based phenomena. Think Veda Austin & Dr. Gerald Pollack.
Because of the nonsensical US-Israel-Iran war (which has nothing whatsoever to do with preventing Iran from obtaining nukes), the Strait of Hormuz closure has choked vital shipping transits. This has effectively stranded 1/3 of synthetic fertilizers alongside half of the world's sulfur and nitrogen feedstocks that American growers completely rely on to maintain their harvests. Yes, I agree that the synthetic stuff is bad, but unfortunately, it’s what farmers currently rely on. When a large chunk of it is cut off that quickly, food supply issues become a very real problem.
In addition, due to this nonsensical US-Israel-Iran war, jet fuel prices are skyrocketing, causing a looming crude oil shortage that is draining millions of barrels from worldwide inventories every single day.
All of this is happening while domestic utility grids and water tables face unprecedented strain from a massive, accelerated buildout of AI data centers. This is draining the energy grid and causing electricity demand to skyrocket by 17% in a single year, while also polluting local water supplies as data center cooling systems suck up tens of billions of gallons of groundwater from already depleted aquifers.
And it’s not that there is a genuine, naturally occurring “shortage” of oil, gas, food, or water anywhere. Nature is abundant and self-regenerating. It’s that, due to the converging lines of resource control and hoarding, massive farm failure, land purchases, divide-and-conquer tactics, the Hegelian dialectic, technocratic advancements, and psychological warfare, Agenda 2030 is marching on.
arbon tracking, rolling blackouts, energy quotas, restricted travel, and a total reliance on "the system," so to speak.
This is a textbook example of the Hegelian Dialectic at play.

I doubt it’ll look like “you’ll lose your ability to travel if you say _____ online,” and more like “you’ll lose your ability to get a job if you say _____ online.” In an already horrible job market, that makes it impossible to pay for what you need, which will have already become wildly expensive. For those who struggle to make ends meet, a UBI with expiration dates (use it or lose it) and geofencing (only available for use in certain areas) will be offered. And it’ll be directly tied to your compliance levels on a variety of things the government deems necessary for “safety and security” at that time.
These are all “offers” that ultimately require some form of our consent.
Okay… whew. So what’s the solution, as I see it?
It’s ironically what we’d benefit from doing whether or not all of these potentials pan out. Grow your own food as best you can, store shelf-stable food if you feel called to, get chickens if you can, build a rainwater catchment system, look into non-electric, gravity-fed alternatives for water filtration, and look at alternative energy sources to power your home. Support local businesses, form real, like-minded local relationships, form local seed-sharing groups, form barter and trade networks, learn useful hands-on skills, and form tight-knit local communities that understand the importance of inter-autonomy. Consider investing in tangible, useful assets if you have the means to. And MOST importantly, trust God, talk to God regularly, sit in stillness, know yourself more deeply, and really SEE the precious people around you.
If you don't know where to start finding people in your area who care about these things, we built a digital directory over at TheWayFwrd.com. We have over 2,500 members helping each other locate like-minded health and freedom folks, practitioners, local farms, alternative schools, and parallel networks in their zip codes. It's there as a tool for anyone ready to step off the grid of dependency.
If you follow me, you may be asking—“Alec, by focusing on this, aren’t you helping to energize these potentials?” No, and if you received it that way, that is not my intention. But I cannot deny what I’m feeling intuitively. Could I be wrong? Of course.
I really like the mindset of “be aware, but not consumed.” Aware means you understand what others are (very actively) co-creating. But to be consumed means you’re actively feeding it with continual thought, time, and perpetual fear. I choose the former. In fact, when exploring all of this and writing this piece, I am not at all fearful. I have a deep trust in God and my abilities to do what’s called of me with whatever situation arises. You might find this analogy helpful:
As a former pro athlete, I know the most important aspect of your game is your mental, emotional, and spiritual state. By far. AND, with that said, that doesn’t mean you aren’t watching film on the other team, structuring your defense toward what they’re bringing to the field, structuring your offense based on holes in their defense, and practicing and adjusting your game based on all that you know about what they bring to the field. The preparation metaphysically is most important, the preparation physically is secondarily important, and the context of what you’ll meet on the field is important as well.
I’m reminded of the scene in the original Space Jam where Bill Murray and some Looney Toons decided not to “dwell” on the upcoming basketball match against the MonSTARS. Their lack of focus did not stop these monsters from doing what they were always gonna do. So let the Michael Jordan in you be mindful and practicing the fundamentals, and maybe we can win this “game.”
And with that, the reality is, we can look at all of this as a gift and as a necessity, just like SCHMOVID (also known by some as “COVID”). Was it traumatic? Yes. Was it challenging? Yes. Was it all of those things we assign “negative” attributes and characteristics to? Yes, yes, yes.

AND it was an incredible gift for those who recognized it as a catalyst for transmutation. I could go on and on about how much better my life has gotten since 2020.
This 2030-esque situation—and any other facet of the various agendas—is no different. They are gifts. So many of us have consistently traded in what’s right, natural, true and beautiful for what’s safe, convenient, and comfortable. We have become so overly reliant on these centralized systems, massive supply chains, and modern technology. It has arguably been (mostly) to the detriment of our relationships with ourselves, our families, our local communities, the natural world, and God (very generally stated, but overwhelmingly true).
So, how will the immediate future pan out? I don’t know. But I have developed such a deep trust in God that I am not worried about what’s to come. I really like this Rudolf Steiner quote sent to do me by my friend, Tom Lomenzo:
A Verse for Our Time, We must eradicate from the soul
All fear and terror of what comes towards man out of the future.
We must acquire serenity, In all feelings and sensations about the future.
We must look forward with absolute equanimity, To everything that may come.
And we must think only that whatever comes, Is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom.
It is part of what we must learn in this age, namely, to live out of pure trust,
Without any security in existence. Trust in the ever present help,
Of the spiritual world. Truly, nothing else will do If our courage is not to fail us.
And let us seek the awakening from within ourselves—Every morning and every evening.
As always, take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. In either case, I’m confident that whatever’s coming is a gift, and we’ll look back with gratitude for what we’ve been through to get back to what it means to be a human being in deep relationship with God, other human beings, and the natural world around us.
