I don't Karen!!! I am a nurse who has dealt with much worse then losing the little bit of money and material things I have. I also live in the county in CA that was hit worse than any other in Calif in 2008. I guess I feel I have prepared as well as I can, am growing a garden, and have little in the bank as I am on SSI. I already did all the things I could do to protect myself from "Crimes against Humanity!" (I quit my job so I would not have to harm or kill anyone!) I can put everything in my truck that I own if I have to leave my home, and I am a survivor. Cliff, can you think of anything else? My whole family thinks I am dangerous and most of my friends so I guess I will need to find a new village to live out the rest of my days with!!!

Wow! Sharon. I live in LA County- up in the high desert. My husband retires the end of 23 and we are hoping that we will be able to get out of here and relocate to Tennessee.

I lost a lot of friends and family due to my “crazy C0nSpiRaCY theory tin foil hat 😜 thinking.

God Bless. 🙏( Clif may be an atheist, but I’m not)

I'm not entirely convinced he is an atheist. He has interesting and different ideas of what spirituality and life should be about, that often differ drastically from organized religion- and even the new age crapola that is has more versions than organized religions. in the end, though, I think he believes in a higher power. Given the incredible amount of experience and knowledge he has garnered in his 70 years here on earth, ALL of his info deserves, at a minimum, serious consideration.

Agree, Auntie! Been listening to Clif since 2004. He believes in a creator/intelligent source/everlasting soul. Just not a religionist or theist--and thank GOD for that!

I agree that Clif’s experience & knowledge is vast.. His views on hyperspace are fascinating I appreciate the integrity and honestly Clif shares with all of us.

What Clif refers to as “ The Universe” , I refer to as God. We may indeed mean the same thing.

Sometimes it's referred to as Agnostic, you believe in a higher power call it God, Creator, or the Universe but link it to none of the earthly religions or churches.

All my life, 67 years, I've known "agnostic" the noun to mean a person who's "not sure, doesn't know" with regard to religion. The atheist is a complete nonbeliever, and he disbelieves with religious fervor. The agnostic is more akin to a fence-sitter. The meaning as so many of us have always known it holds in the dictionary that is the standard for my language-related trade. Whew.

"ag·nos·tic noun \ ag-ˈnä-stik , əg- \

plural ag·nos·tics

1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable : one who professes agnosticism broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god"

Well that may be the definition for it but I'll go by my Mothers thank you anyways. She considered herself agnostic and went exactly by the definition I gave, and she knew her dictionaries well as crosswords were her thing. I guess there was no term that fit her exact description of her beliefs so she chose the option that best aligned with her beliefs, as she wasn't an atheist, or believer in ANY church what so ever, but still believed in a higher power or creator if you will.

So if you know a better definition, and frankly explaining the exact dictionary definition of it being a noun etc etc, I'm not interested I know how to look thing up when I choose to do so. Maybe you can tell me how many words have changed definitions throughout history while you're at it too?

Expand full comment

You and Mom can call yourselves anything you like, and good on you. I mean that. I'm primarily interested in the definitions of words and terms because that is my stock in trade. Additionally, I agree with conservatives who point out the importance of "Borders, LANGUAGE, Culture." Unfortunately, for more than 40 years I've experienced firsthand the deterioration of US Standard English. It's upsetting, at least to people like me, whose professions are language focused. Also, I agree with Clif, who likes remind us from time to time that precision of language is important, especially given our particular sociopolitical times. So please rest assured I meant no personal critique or harm. Yes, I am aware of the changing vernacular. I have to use the suite of Merriam-Webster dictionaries (the ones requiring subscriptions), daily, as they're the standard for my industry. I'm cognizant of the changing shades of meaning. But you'd be surprised how many definitions go hundreds of years back, some as far as to antiquity, but remain the same today.

Expand full comment

I think this definition fits if the person who is what I call myself, "Everything and Nothing" because they are not pursuing a spiritual life or living one. For me I am pursuing TRUTH and I have found a little in every spiritual path but in religions themselves I have found only those who wish power and money to support themselves and their pursuit of controlling the masses. Therfore I will not give my energy to anyone's "religion" as I look at the "spiritual results" those religions have produced in this world we live in.

Ahhh but dear Sarah, many humans have super powers that will be needed, like Rocket who can fix things and people who can heal others with the food you will grow, engineers who will take new technologies and build great new devises and dwellings, people who can get animals and how to properly and humanely treat them, and so on.

I hear you! I have come across a few very-awake people purely by accident - it's so great to be able to speak freely sometimes.

My daughter decided to get married (in 2020 thanksalotforthat, kid) and not just that but decided to locate it at her now-husband's family farm in Massachusetts. The first thing we saw when we drove down to meet them were several BLM and Pride lawn signs clustered around the entrance. Hoo boy. Of course you know how it is when you're young and freshly married - you want to fit in with your new family. So, these deeply-sleeping people have had an inordinate effect on my daughter's point of view these past few years - this was really the hardest part for me. She even got upset at my husband once because he was wearing a WWG1WGA hat. If I push the issue she'll just find validation with his parents, so I am just here, maintaining contact, waiting every day for her to wake up.... !

Sarah, this must be the hardest thing to deal with over anything I have. I cannot imagine how this effects parents who have given so much love and so much of themselves to another only to find them choosing a path towards danger and bad outcomes.

Well, good on you and keep it up. New friends can be made, as can new families of like-minded groups, that can be more fulfilling- as well as kinder, more compassionate and honest, than those that came about though birth. Besides, if those relationships can't be worked out in this lifetime, you can give it another whack in the next, right?

Sharon,

I was born in CA. I live in East TN. Bradley county, the number 9 county in the nation for people moving here. We have beautiful country here and I love the old fashioned down to earth demeanor of most people living here. Unfortunately some of the people moving here are keeping their old ideologies that helped the downfall of the great state of CA. You seem like the type of person we need here.!!!

Thank yu dear Gary! It is nice to have a person even say such a thing and fling it at me. I am determined to be in a community, when this is all said and done, that welcomes me and what I bring to the table. I am not stuck in any ideologies except those which foster open communication, common sense, open hearted sharing and caring about life in all of its forms and community in all forms. I even plant in the spirit of community!! So thanks again, I personally believe I am a good person to have as a friend and team member and I do not mean that in arrogance. I work at those things along with communicating and encouraging communication from others.

I am here like you, to get a different point of view on everything...Cliff surely does that!!

Im with you and also in CA. I got hit hard in 08 and ive spent the last 15 years figuring out how they did it and how they continue to get away with it.

It has to do with a lack of conscience and moral ambivalence. Satan's system of priestcraft (religion) on one hand and atheism on the other is designed to produce moral ambivalence, a state in which the victim doesn't care if he is doing good or evil. In this state, a person can be very useful to Satan. What he and his priests don't want us to discover is ethical goodness, or humanitarian Christianity. Again, the priests don't want us to understand we have the choice to do good, but instead present us with a false dichotomy: religion or atheism. https://theveilapoem.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-two-faces-of-priestcraft.html

A wise one in the Hopi tradition said, "Most People need a PRESSURE of such magnitude to wake them up and make them release their hold on the shore of the river." Perhaps Evil has been our Near Death Experience, or Dark-Nite-of-the-Soul-catalyst caused us to let go of what we knew, to flow with the river of Dreams to imagining/manifesting Heaven on Earth! I must give the villain in this story that much credit in my story. In that sense, the people who are grasping so violently and unwaveringly to the shore (so they do not have to accept reality, change and growth) so they do not have to take a stand either for evil or becoming part of the greater fight for humanity's very existence and continuation on this planet, are the true villains in this story!!!

My intent was to imply that

(1) while I agree that we are in an imbalance with nature, and that is a direct cause of many problems

(2) we are in an imbalance with nature because of actions that the globalists have taken. Especially the rules they have set up in order to monopolize society and also to privatize profits and socialize losses thus benefitting themselves at the expense of everyone else, but which also inevitably led to destructive behaviors across the whole of society.

So therefore

(3) our problems don't all stem from the globalists, they stem from something else. But that something else stems from the globalists so our problems do stem from the globalists after all.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Thanos, but I don't regard any evil as necessary although I agree that the possibility of evil is necessary and that perhaps evil is consequently inevitable.

It does not take many good people to bring down a bunch of psychopaths and narcissists and sociopaths. They think only in limited ways and are easy to control themselves because there is no creativity in their plans or uniqueness to their strategies. The main thing is to believe whole hearted in who you are, what your intensions are, and what you bring to the table. Also it helps to keep your eye on the prize, which is "financial freedom!" Wall Street is a deep state money laundering operation, ponsey scheme and does not benefit you or anyone except the WEFers and their minions and criminal operations not to mention their religion and rituals. We know about free energy and will no longer tolerate the corporate monopolies that enslave us on any level.

IF CBDCs come to pass, yes, they will not want competition from other cryptos, and will take all steps necessary to eviscerate them. Sure, you may still be able to do person to person crypto transactions, but if accepting cryptos other than CBDC is outlawed... and whats to stop that... their usefulness will be minimized, their value monkey-hammered.

I just blasted out an email with that article to all the people I have been telling for the last 5 years to grab up as much silver as they can get their hands on. They generally ignore everything I say, ... so this time it was "Get Silver NOW, ... Or Don't Cry To Me Later !! lmao

It must have been the sleepers who accuse others of wearing alloy caps, who coined the phrase "You Do You" ?? I can't wait until the opportunity presents itself for the use of turnabout. I have been trying to warn family members and friends for a long while now, ... when they come around after the fact, that might be just what they hear from me about their unprepared state. You Do You !! lol

So what happens to a mortgage one has? It is my only debt. Paid everything else off. Have cash, silver and some crypto food, well for water and live out of town. In Canada.

If the inflation is really hyper, you'll be able to cash in each silver one-ounce coin for a hell of a lot more than the what, 30-something loonies you'd get for it today. So if the 'hyper' part means maybe 1000x, then a few 1-ounce coins could be cashed for enough loonies to pay off that mortgage, which is still what it is now in loonies. That is if the mortgage is CAD100K, you'd need to cash ~3 coins to pay it off. If there is even anyone at the bank, or owning the mortgage, to come and ask you to pay it.

The derivatives market broke mortgages up and sold them off peicemeal. No one actually held the morgage. That caused them some problems.

Maybe they'll do it again?

If that piece of paper is only worth say $100 in today's buying power, I doubt it would be worth anyone's while to actually try and collect. Even if they could figure out who 'owns' it.

If the institution holding your mortgage goes down, it will be transferred without your permission to another institution and will NOT go away. Same idea with unpaid property taxes whereby the property itself is "transferred" (sold at auction) for back taxes.

The globalists want us to panic and do bank runs. They want to remove cash from our systems. These evil, greedy, psychopaths want to move us into a digital tracking slave system. You can’t control people who use a non-traceable cash system.

Never give up on cash.

Agree about use of cash, but how will banks, markets, everything respond when cash is ⤵️ in value world wide?? 👇

Not having experienced this in this lifetime (so far) I am curious how this would work? If ENERGY COSTS become unaffordable for most people then this whole civilization will grind to a dead halt, like a car that runs out of gas, OR there will be some sort of work around. Will nonessentials drop in price while essentials skyrocket?

Clif has mentioned there will be a period of hyperinflation, it won’t last long compared to the length of the Great Depression, it won’t even last as long as the hyper inflationary period of the Weimar Republic in Germany.

What he has stated will happen is that deflation will start to set in as more and more of the vaxxed succumb to the shots.

Excess deaths means less and less consumers and producers.

Ironically I think it will be mostly white collar drones which will be hit the hardest as their corporate masters as well as gov’t workers were mandated to take the shots.

Those of a lower income as well as those smart enough to be wary of anything mandated by the government will be spared.

I’ve said this elsewhere but the purebloods left standing will become quite valuable.

There will be a massive shortfall of skilled and unskilled labor which won’t be immediately filled.

BTW, those countries who have unplugged from the central bank ‘system’ will be mostly spared, the BRICS countries are already running a separate system which won’t be heavily impacted by the collapse of the Western financial system.

Also don’t buy into the FUD being pushed around social media about this turning into a Mad-max style world. What most likely will happen is the Re-emergence of regional authority and governance and regional economies, especially in places like Canada, the US and Australia which are resource producers.

Outside of the mega cities those areas with resources to sell like minerals, food etc will fare better than those who rely on tertiary services like financial services or entertainment.

The one caveat is that these areas must be completely cleansed of all WEF/Cabal influence, this means the political and social hierarchy are purged of all their minions, I believe we are in the stage of exposing those minions at every level of society.

BTW, Don't believe everything you read online, even if it's from a "trusted" sources.

I don't know if you know of a blog called the Drudge Report.

Before 2020 it was one of the most visited sites by patriots and MAGA supporters.

Then suddenly it's material turned anti/No-Trumper

https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/drudge-report-traffic-plunges-as-content-turns-against-trump/

I believe there are quite a few formerly reliable sites which have been compromised by the Deep State and are broadcasting fearporn for everyone to consume.

Fear makes it easier to control the sheep with false promises of help and "salvation".

Those headlines and stories you linked are certainly worrisome but why have they been allowed to published? especially by Twitter, whom I don't trust even after Elon Musk's take over.

Plus and this isn't mentioned in the news but once the financial collapse happens and the BRICS and ME countries remain relatively untouched and prosperous where do you think these migrants will head for? Certainly most of them won't stay in a place which is heading into an economic black hole.

Why are people leaving Canada?

Yes I do agree that’s going to be a major problem.

One which will be increasingly brought to the attention of the public once the MSM have been brought down and citizen journalism takes its place.

Citizen militias are gaining ground in the US

https://youtu.be/2zwx0lxYbAI

And this trend is strengthening.

Those illegals I do believe will see the tide turn when they see citizen Justice being administered.

I personally believe the concept of the old West’s posse will make a come back.

When a few of these criminals are publicly hanged this will cause many of these sleaze bags to think twice.

Remember this kind of news is being disseminated to both frighten us into demanding more government intervention and to show us we are helpless.

What you didn’t see in these news items are of those armed citizens who have stopped many crimes in progress, even outside of the US.

The Cabal are very adept at psychological warfare and torture and they tend to push these headlines to demoralize you into hopelessness and helplessness.

This will continue as long as those Cabal puppets are still in positions of power, but what happens when those puppets are eliminated? Who will run cover for these criminal migrants and infiltrators?

Remember "wokism" is now dying and those soft on crime and shielding these fifth columnists are going find themselves under the spotlight and probably under arrest and indictment when things really go south.

Clif's Vox Populi series have said as much but most bureaucrats are too dim to understand this or see it coming.

Remember there are still many more of us then them and when the normies go crazy as Clif has been hinting those violent illegals are going to be the first target.

Here is one of the most fortunate places in the western world to be, Western Canada.

Alberta and NE BC as well as Sask. are energy rich including massive shale gas and bitumen reserves.

Also Sask. has one of the largest potash mines in the world for fertilizer production.

The US Great Plains as well as the Gulf of Mexico still have enormous reserves of shale oil and shale gas plus fertile land for agriculture.

Ontario outside of the GTA has a lot of mineral resources and Quebec has both mining and hydroelectric.

Don’t bother worrying about China and Bill Gates claiming that land, China/Gates owns pieces of paper which can be legally expropriated by any new government.

In the case of China we could refund their purchase funds.

In the case of Bill Gates, we simply confiscate all his assets as part of his trial for Crimes against Humanity, he won’t be needing those deeds where he’s going.

You’re assuming there will still a Liberal party or NDP or even conservatives or even a Canada left.

The Cabal are collapsing, their schemes are unravelling and I think many of their minions see the writing on the wall and are deserting ship. Their power is waning and they know it.

I don’t think there will be a Canada the way we now know it after the dust settles.

I believe this country is going to break up into regional governments controlled by the people.

Parliamentary government is finished, it’s weaknesses under Trudeau have been revealed and won’t be kept in the new governments.

The pipelines will be built because We The People decide they will be built and the decisions won’t be approved in Ottawa.

I read the following over 40 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Nations_of_North_America

What you described is actually in that book, the map of the regional differences parallels what we can now see going on in 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ninenations.PNG

Of course there are some major differences because of the changes in economics since 1981.

Ironic that when the book was published the PM of Canada then was Pierre Trudeau.
