More people than ever are facing dire circumstances, and we’re just getting started with this economic disaster. And what is our government doing?
Why, they’re giving our money away.
To other countries, no less.
The U.S. government agreed to pay “climate reparations.”
But the plight of our own countrymen seems to be less important than those in other countries affected by climate change. The United States has just agreed to pay up to a billion dollars to poor countries for “climate reparations.” As per an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal:
The use of climate policy to soak Americans keeps getting worse, and the United Nation’s climate conference in Egypt ended this weekend with agreement on a new fund to pay reparations to poor countries. Welcome to the latest climate shakedown.
The 2015 Paris accord suggested rich countries compensate poor countries for climate damage—the rationale being that industrialization has increased temperatures and led to natural disasters. Poor countries finally forced discussion of a formal mechanism to pay climate reparations onto this year’s U.N. conference agenda.
…on Thursday Europe abandoned the U.S. by proposing a deal, and Mr. Kerry rolled over.
Wealthy countries will now set up a fund to cover climate damage for the least developed countries—i.e., not China or middle-income nations. This will be financed from “a broad donor base” and “mosaic of solutions,” such as international development banks and taxes on aviation, shipping and fossil fuels.
Some reports suggest that the US will be on the hook for up to a billion dollars. In October, it was reported that the total amount due would be $4.3 trillion.
That’s the sum the US and other major carbon polluters will face at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt next month.
Well, other polluters except for China.
China is not contributing jack sh*t. It’s essential to note that out of all the polluters in the world, China is the worst offender, creating 30% of the world’s carbon emissions.
Yet, they’re exempt from this outrageous bill. Not one thin dime shall they pay. I’m not a fan of China’s dystopian policies and government, but at least they aren’t causing shortages and suffering in their own country in order to virtue signal how green they are.
In the end, it’s just the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Says the WSJ:
Countries might also shake down U.S. fossil-fuel producers in their own courts. Climate reparations will merely serve as another form of global income redistribution. The Biden Administration’s surrender shows again that the religion of climate change is progressive penance for the sin of being prosperous.
In doing this, they ignore the plight of everyday Americans who can’t afford to run their heat or keep their homes.
Meanwhile, Americans are truly suffering.
We’ve repeatedly discussed the effects our current economic crisis is having on Americans. We talked about how they’re skipping meals and how they can’t afford medical care. We’ve been warning for years that they are struggling to meet their most basic needs. We live in a nation that destroyed itself during the Covid pandemic and has left its people hanging out to dry, with no jobs, no money, and no hope.
This isn’t some abstract concept about the planet.
This is real. And it’s happening to folks in our own communities.
Read these personal statements about how the economy is crushing Americans.
Here’s how the economy is affecting housing.
Sheba Everett is a single mother living in Durham, North Carolina, an area that is facing massive increases in the cost of living due to new companies coming to the region. Lower-income people are rapidly being displaced. She works full-time as a teacher with multiple side gigs to keep a roof over the heads of herself and her daughters. They were making ends meet until she got an eviction notice. A local newspaper shared her story:
The September eviction letter caught them by surprise, she said, even though all the annual leases were converted in the last two years to month-to-month leases. Everett asked about it in March when her lease changed and said she was told it was to help tenants struggling in the post-pandemic economy. Now, everyone is in dire straits, trying to find affordable housing when the only units available are condemned or too small, she said.
“It will be three years in March (since they moved into their current home), so the prices were still somewhat reasonable (before), and so I tried to find something similar, and it’s just like double the price, so there’s just no way I can survive or stay in Durham or any of that.
I don’t know what I’m going to do, and I tried to get a loan to buy a house. Actually, in my neighborhood that I grew up in, I found a house — a five-bedroom house; it was (roughly) 1,400 square feet — in my old neighborhood that I grew up in; I was ecstatic. It was $300,000 (but) I didn’t get approved for enough to buy that house. We’re basically stuck right now. … I just couldn’t believe I’m a teacher, and I can’t afford to even live in the neighborhood that I grew up in.
I’ve reached out to the housing agencies, but since we’re in a crisis right now — one of the worst that we’ve seen in our lifetime — they’re backed up. I am one of many numbers. I’ve gotten on a couple of waiting lists, and even those things, they definitely will keep a roof over our head, but it’s not anything that actually fits my family’s needs. It’ll keep us from being homeless.
I’ll work five jobs and pay for a super-expensive place where I literally can barely breathe, but I can’t uproot my children from their home without giving it my all, because like I said, it’s way more than just a house.
As a single mom myself, I know exactly how difficult it is to have to uproot your children in the midst of financial problems. It’s heartbreaking to see them suffer because of money. When you don’t have much money, a home is the one thing that you strive to provide, no matter what. Losing that security is almost unbearable.
(Disaster comes in many forms. Check out our free QUICKSTART Guide to better understand the four levels it can reach.)
Here’s how the economy is affecting utilities.
The high cost of energy is causing exorbitant heat bills as we move into winter.
As the first frigid weather of autumn chills the Northeast, many people are faced with a tough decision: deal with the surging costs of heating their homes or live without it.
Home heating prices are skyrocketing yet again this winter, up 18% nationwide on top of last year’s 17% spike, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA).
Charmaine Johnson works in the call center at Philadelphia’s Heater Hotline, part of a non-profit that assists low-income families with their heating systems and bills. Johnson, 63, can relate to the concerns she’s hearing all day. She, too, is struggling to afford her heating bills…
…Johnson says she doesn’t qualify for government assistance with her heating bills. As inflation also pushes up her food budget and other expenses, she is bundling up and keeping the heat turned down, hoping to stretch that oil for as long as possible.
“It’s miserable,” she said. “It’s like living in an igloo.”
The elderly and children are the most likely to suffer when folks can’t afford to turn their heat to a reasonable level. Some senior citizens living on fixed incomes are talking about keeping their thermostats at a nippy 50-55 degrees.
It doesn’t matter how you heat, this year, you are going to pay more. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that:
…heating a home with natural gas will cost an extra 25% this winter, and heating with electric will run 11% higher. The steepest hike will be on heating oil, which is expected to be 45% more expensive than last winter, squeezing roughly 5 million households, mostly in the Northeast.
Many of our most vulnerable citizens are facing a long cold winter.

But by all means, let’s stash a billion dollars or so in a fund for other countries.
Imagine what we could do with a billion dollars here at home. Imagine the people who could be fed, housed, and sheltered. Sure, it wouldn’t solve all of our problems. It wouldn’t undo the damage done to our economy by disastrous lockdown policies.
But wouldn’t it be better to help the folks at home before pledging tons of money to others?
I don’t hate other countries. I don’t hate poor countries. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling the world, and I want to see other countries be prosperous too. But it cannot come at the expense of our own people, who have paid tax after tax after tax but still can’t turn their heat above 5o degrees in the winter.
Is it just me? Do you feel that this is a terrible use of American money, or do you think it’s a good call? If you could decide where to distribute a billion dollars as a government official, where would you direct it? And how the heck does China get off scot-free?
Let’s discuss it in the comments section.

Climate reparations to foreign nations may not go anywhere. Republicans now control the purse strings in the U.S. House of Representatives. Many U.S. HoR republicans are calling for every dollar to be accounted for before they will vote on it.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE our repubs will hold tight to the purse strings!!!! our country cannot afford to be throwing all this money around, our own are suffering!!!! biden and dimrats act like its their money and dont care how much they spend! AND they are gonna try to spend tons more before january!!!! our house needs to hold TIGHT from now on!!!! this admin needs to be STOPPED of destroying this country any further!!! we wont make another 2 yrs if we dont!!!!
GOOD thinking but I do believe the fact of the matter is that this New World Order of things has been in the making for years and is just now coming up to the surface. The One World Government and the One World Religion, and this New World order and the new way of doing things is gradually happening right now and more will happen during this administration. Hopefully the Republicans will make some changes, but we still have 2 more years with the ones that are now “in charge”! How on earth will we survive? What else are they planning to do to us. Our country is slowly being ruined and I can see this with my own 2 eyes. Anyone that is looking, that is not asleep at the wheel or has their head buried in the sand will see what is happening to the USA We are on the verge of losing our “superpower” status to China (most likely). They want to take over what we have…. What needs to be stopped is one thing, but who will manage to STOP it all is another. Seems nobody cares. Nobody is doing anything productive enough to make a difference…GOD HELP US!!! I shiver to think of what this country will look like by the end of 2024…IF you pray. then please pray for GOD’s help b/c this does NOT look good at all…I am like that woman that needs housing. I need to find a place but they are soooo unaffordable now b/c of GREED!!! It’s all about $$$, and the almighty dollar is making it hard for many people to survive. I have to be out by the end of April, and I have no place to go. Will I be homeless? Oh my!!! That is scary. I am also a retired teacher living on my SS and no side jobs. I will be 75 in Feb. And have some limitations also…My mind is 44 but not my body. I hope things improve but it’s really NOT likely and that is the truth. It’s not being negative either but being factual!!!
I realize that having a house or apartment would be optimal, but have you considered van life?
It would be my plan B if I were to be forced out of my home.
Youtube has some very good channels, such as Cheaprvliving and GloriousLifeOnWheels that have lots of info on van life.
Many older women and even disabled folks, are finding a good quality of life on wheels.
Something to consider.
Bathrooms must be found in area, taking showers will be an issue. People can go into Wal mart and use facilities, but everyone needs to shower daily esp. in hot weather. Laundro- mats are getting scarce everywhere. They used to be common in communities. Food preparation is another issue. women want some sort of basic kitchen if on special diets. Homeless meal places are sporatic, some only open couple days a week.
You do not have to shower everyday.
For that matter, you can get by easily with a sponge bath.
With high heat and humidity in mid summer in the gulf coastal areas, showering is a daily ritual.
Had a co-woker who was in Mt Pleasant SC when hurricane Hugo came to shore at Sullivan’s Island, just to the south of her.
It was 6 weeks without power or running water.
They made do with sponge baths.
Ha, try 3or 4 times if you have oily skin like me. Great grand was full blooded choctaw.
It’s not complex. This nation started out with God’s true preserved word. By now you see the counterfeits have prevailed. People don’t have perspective based on the Bible anymore. The amount of dismissiveness daily displayed towards THE Saviour (and everyone knows WHO HE is) is vast. But there IS only ONE who can save, who personally came and secured redemption thru His Blood. And yes, it IS obtainable for ALL. The counterfeit “kingdom” is running out & taking down many with it. The free gift (Rom.6:23) is offered now! Don’t believe them – accept it now! One is not overly concerned with current conditions when they know they have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ & have eternal life! (the Grace deniers will immed. start squawking – Paul as is obvious starting in Acts 16, was the apostle to the Gentiles with the limited time offer of Grace. Once the grace church is raptured, so is that doctrine. Faith and works prevails thru the Trib – b/c 2 doctrines are not in effect at same time. The Trib is Jacob’s Trouble – finishing the dealing with the Jews.)
Prov. 34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
“Republicans now control the purse strings in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
Please. Republicans couldn’t control a mild case of hemorrhoids. Republican representatives talk a big patriotic and conservative game during the campaigns, then always cower in fear when it comes time to back up that gas.
Leftists need only say that dissenting conservative opposition from team elephant is racist and they will fold like dry sheets.
THis money is already gone.
It is not all the Republicans,but the Rino’s of the party (of which, there are way to many). But people keep voting Democrat and for Rino Republicans,(or so the election tabulators say we do). So what do you expect?
Until we have clean, fair elections, nothing is guaranteed. We can’t drain the Swamp that way. It must start at the local and state levels and then work on the Federal levels. Trying to work from the Top down(federal level first or only at that level) does accomplish much.
Rino’s have taken over the rep. party, sold out to globalism/green agendas. I heard this over a decade ago at speakers conf. out of Birmingham who focused on agenda 2030 and gov. controls. We won’t have a country in two yrs (next gen. election) the system is broke ex: Arizona and Pa. election fraud. Saudi Arabia is not longer backing the dollar, it is presently not backed by anything.
So much corruption neither party can be trusted for sometime. Too many rinos.
They can’t openly kill us so they will resort to “softer” means of killing us – raising rents, raising fuel costs, raising food costs, raising taxes, etc. We had an American first president but the elite could not and would not abide by it and gullible Americans fell for the rhetoric.
I take a little comfort in knowing that Karma is a bitch. What goes around will eventually come around. I actually hope that Ron DeSantis will decide to run and will win. IF he can handle Florida this good then I would think with all of my wisdom and common sense that he can run this country. With a decent Vice President he should be able (with GOD’s help) to turn things around, but we still have to struggle through 2 more years of CRAP and distress and misery before that happens. I hope people will see the facts and vote responsibility. But so far it seems that has not happened (at least not last time), but you can’t fix stupid, can you?
God’s help left this country during 9/11, hand of protection lifted ongoing. In two years we won’t have a country because majority of adults condone socialism and will vote in rino’s and other ilk. The reset is planned soon to prevent more from becoming informed. Most people don’t care about their futures or their family’s ability to live a normal life.
“They can’t openly kill us”.
Seriously?
Have you seen the increased death rate since the *vaccines* came out?
Insurance figures show excess mortality rates of 32-40% higher starting in 2021 over 2015-2019 averages. The higher number is in working age people 25-44. (mandates?) The disability rates are at least that high, if not higher.
The rent, fuel, food prices are just icing on the cake.
Most younger Americans on the left, taught socialism and green agendas in public schools for decades. They will do anything corp. TV news says incl getting bio weapon injections now up to 5 or 6 times for covid since early 2020 or go out and buy an EV. Many will later on be ordered into detention centers when orders are given and they will comply if they can keep their cell phones, even tho’ families will be separated. Critical thinking skills today are rare. Education has taught people useless subjects but not to reason and think things thru.
if you want to give away money. Do so with your own.
Fool’s and our money are soon parted…

Yep! I knew this WAAAAY back with the shots. Even though the book series Left Behind is fiction based on Scripture, the series has seriously helped me envision our future (even after being in a very very strong Biblical church for 10 years where we studied The End Times). The shots/5G EVERYWHERE is part of the digital tracking/payment system set up to reign in the antichrist (or NWO). I am not alarmed by each bit of news, just didn’t think I’d see it in my lifetime. Knew for sure my kids probably would. Please accept Christ before the Rapture (when Believers are taken to Heaven) happens friends. You do not want to be on earth afterwards.
By the time His Fraudulency, pRezident Jao Xidung takes his cut our “contribution” will be about $3.43 with the balance of the Billion siphoned off by the “big guy” and his criminal cartel.
It’s time to start hanging traitors again.
I can guarantee you that the $1billion will come back in various ways to democrat coffers by at least 20%. This is a money laundering scheme for the climate cultists. Another is these earmarks to academia for research on such important topics such as rabbit reactions to Swedish massage. University gets $3 million from a congressman/Senator for bogus study, in return, university invites congressman/Senator to give a few speeches on campus at $50-75k a pop. University keeps the change and indoctrinates kids to vote democrat to keep gravy train alive and well.
Spending/giving away money we dont have . . . just print it out of thin air!
And, like the massive amounts of money sent to the Ukraine, much of it will be unaccountable, just disappearing into those countries elite off shore bank accounts.
Meanwhile here in the US, people will go to bed, cold and hungry.
Nah.., they’ll just set up another FTX-2 for them. Perfect laundering scheme and (as an added bonus they’ll get some more athletes, movie stars and financial tv stars to pump and dump, while bilking desperate investors for another cool $4+B) wash, rinse, repeat.
Still waiting for SBF’s arrest.., or carcass to wash ashore in the Bahamas. I do have to admire his moxie though. Issuing make believe “tokens” and using them as assets to leverage against, all the while spending money that wasn’t his. Kind of wonder where he got that idea from (rubbing my chin thoughtfully and drumming finger tips on table top), sounds familiar…
~Jim,
LOL! Yeah, just another fraudster.
Even the guy who investigated the ENRON mess said that was pale in comparison to SBF pulled off.
Oh, I think it is a terrible idea to divert and deflect taxpayer resources to a problem that cannot be measured or confirmed. “Boondoggle” appropriately reflects this if it is actually believed and well intentioned. “Outright theft”, is what comes to my mind when considering the “masterminds” (“mastermindless”) promoting their “solution”. Notice, they are not addressing what they purport as the cause in any way.
AnnArbor,
“Boondoggle,” the perfect one word description for global hot mess.
Get the un out or the US and the US out of the un.
Obama’s doing a heckuva job destroying America and Americans at every turn.
I think Obummer is the one actually running the country with OLD Joe being his puppet
makes no sense, ask Saudi Aramco who is making the most CO2 (not China by the way)- but none of the cop27 idiots ever face it. All the CO2 they have been polluting the oceans with since WW1 boats chimneys went underwater.. imagine all these carbon particles blanketing out any UV light to aid CO2 mitigation by algae because the boats carbon has blocked light from reaching this lung of earth! turns a blind eye to this cop27 elite bunch of thieves.. deceiving the nations further, while everyone is doing very little to stop them.. and who are them by the way, now that’s the real question everyone should ask, but if you know the answer you know what to do. AMEN
Here in Communist Canada our prime minister – that would be Klot Schlob of the WEF (his mouthpiece being pretend PM Turdopey) has decreed that the carbon tax in Canada be triple triple tripled over the next while. This carbon tax goes into a slush fund for important issues like sending millions to the cokehead in the Ukraine (he needs a new ballgown for the front line apparently). I guess enough of us aren’t dying so they need to freeze some of us “useless eaters” this winter. Meanwhile Klot’s rent boy spends $6000 a night in hotel rooms with butler service.
As soon as I saw that story about Sheeba, I knew something was up. I live in North County San Diego and I am hearing stories left and right about not just poorer, Section 8 people being moved month to month BUT, every tenant. I finally was able to ask enough people to get what I think is the answer-
The owners don’t want to be stuck with anyone who can’t PAY, regardless of whether or not they are in Section 8. So, this lady told me, who is an apt manager that if you move EVERYONE, then no one is singled out. If one cannot pay, then boom, they have 30 days to move out, 60 I believe if you are on Section 8.
Smart move I guess, if you are the owner. And by the way, I am starting to hear stories and a neighbour actually sent me another one this morning, wherein home owners, who have sold their homes, aren’t moving out of them because they can’t afford to live anywhere else.
Very ugly times ahead.
It is far worse than you think. It is far worse than most people can face. The only one I have seen get real about the “climate” agenda is Mike Adams, The Health Ranger,” who points out the fact that carbon dioxide is the basis of photosynthesis, hence all life on Earth. Mike Adams thinks the Earth is being terraformed for some kind of space aliens. He points out the Midwest effort to capture carbon as further evidence.
At the top are demonic entities who hate God, hate God’s creation and want to kill every human being, every dog, cat, giraffe, toad, tulip, tree, earthworm, every living thing. The super-rich think they will download their consciousness into machines and live forever.
Most people are so oblivious that they have not even noticed the changes in the sun over the last 3 years. This sudden dramatic change can’t be from fossil fuels–use has not changed much. Something is going on and we need to wake up.
I can take 3 minutes of Mike Adams. Far too cynical & depressive for me (interesting since he claims to be a Christian). I feel like jumping into traffic when I read his stuff. 🙂 Read him with caution.
US Federal Government – follow these instructions for Best results: Lie, Cheat, Steal, Repeat. War is Peace, Lies are Truth, Hate is Love, Death is Life, Rich is Poor. Only Demonic Evil at the Top Nonstop 24/7/365 forever Until it is Destroyed by GOD.
There are 330 million Americans. That comes out to about $3.50 a person. I think we can all agree that Americans have caused far more problems than that to Africa and other exploited areas of the globe even if you don’t believe in climate change (which is real, and as usual, Republicans are denying it exists and Democrats are proposing nonsensical solutions that do nothing to correct the real problems). So I think we can afford to pay it even if it’s probably not actually going to do any good (US funds spent in 3rd world countries tend to end up in unintended places).
I’m WAY more concerned about all those weapons we’re sending to Ukraine. WW3 and Cold War 2 both sound like terrible ideas. While I feel for Ukraine, the US does those people no favors by sticking our nose in their business. If you imagine Russia and Ukraine are a dating couple who is fighting, and Ukraine asks Russia’s ex, the US, their opinion on the argument, just by supplying an opinion the US makes the fight worse. It’s not just “none of our business” because we are on the other side of the planet, it is “none of our business” because we have bad history with Russia and we make things worse for everyone there by looking in that direction and opening our mouths.
JT, you seem overburdened with guilt. No, I can’t agree with you, simply because you suggest it. I’ve done nothing to Africa. Hell, even my wife’s diamond is from the arctic. Nope. Not one single misdeed or ill intent.
You can pay all the reparations you want. Me I’m guilt free in this. Can you lend me $3.50?
I agree with you on staying out of Ukraine, but I disagree with your initial premise.
I’d rather use my $3.50 to pay for a school lunch for a kid who can’t afford one, or combine my family members’ $3.50s to help someone else have a warm place to stay. I love to travel, and I’m environmentally conscious, but in a crisis, charity should begin at home.
Daisy,
Exactly.
There are plenty of people, citizens here in the US that need a helping hand.
Marine, you are always fair but spot on. But I just have to say I evaluated people for welfare fraud for years. Many people I met have a hand out but wont lift a hand to help themselves. Its an epidemic thats getting worse. When I was a child we went hungry sometimes but no one dare mentioned welfare back in those days. Now its accepted behavior to a much larger population
Old Guy,
I try.
Thank you for that insight.
My father can recall breakfast was toast and a cup of coffee.
Dinner, a cheap cut of meat and potatoes. Salt and pepper were the only seasonings.
It’s part of the whole brain washing. Make recipients feel ‘justified’ because they are the victims therefore receiving their due. Sometimes it is a necessity to receive some help but not a way of life. But that will never change since we’ve made it so easy for the lazy ‘victims’. The joke is on us hard working.
We should be outraged. We should have been outrage about McSniffy rejoining the Paris Accords too.
We should be outraged about the corruption in our government, local State and Federal.
Are we outraged enough do do something about it?
Apparently we’re not outraged enough yet.
This is all made up (climate change reparations) all pulled out of thin air out even thinner minds.
This is about bringing America down by the deluded commies and leftists up there and our side is not doing a thing about it but go along should realize if this continues nobody is going to be saved if we go down into bankruptcy and end up like them.
Well, if people can’t see the obvious fraud of Climate Change, how are they going to understand anything that is happening to them? The plants of the world respirate CO2 and give us oxygen in return. When did we learn that? Sixth or seventh grade. We need to be shouting that at the top of our lungs!
God set up a wonderful world.
The oceans play a big part in the carbon cycle taking it out of the atmosphere and producing calcium carbonate which precipitates to the bottom.
This is pulled into the magma when one tectonic plate over rides another
(This material is the
main raw material use in the manufacture of cement and mortar)
When it is pulled into the magma, the heat returns to the co2 to atmosphere through the volcanoes
If there is “excess” CO2, whatever that is, plants grow faster and the ocean reaction goes quicker.
Now, thermal energy, as in heat, is carried around the earth by the Ocean currents in the Atlantic warm water runs up the eastern coast of North America ends up in Scandinavia as water travels and evaporates the salt content increases when it gets to Scandinavia you have a high salinity continent the water is cold and very dense it sinks to the bottom makes it sway like an underground river running about 4 kn into equatorial waters where it is forced to the surface so the ocean is bringing warmth to the north and absorbing heat from the tropics there are several of these current systems operating around the world
Class dismissed for today.
Notice they don’t make commercials, advertisements, billboards on how we can better recycle, car pool, open up the blinds to let the warm sun in…ya know things we can actively participate in to help ourselves. Nothing. Just how they must always ‘rescue’ us as their saviors. Just disgusting.
People should leave ANYONE pushing this “Blood & Soil” climate garbage freezing and homeless instead.
People are willing to try anything but that one thing that historically works
This is God’s Judgment on a pagan nation and world.
It has happened before and it is happening now.

Search “How God Destroys Nations”
Listen to the 5 sermon series by pastor John Weaver.
Ha – When God does it – there will be NO doubt! What is going on right now with weather manipulation is the satanic, globalist counterfeit rule. Yes, nations have turned from God – and the adversary has been allowed to run – but for a limited time. The comeuppance of evil will happen.
John Weaver is delusional.
Per Revelations, God will destroy the world after the signs, and Satan had time to rule the new Babylon, and Christ has then ruled for 1K years. Let’s see: (seal 1) Horseman w/ bow could be Genghis. (seal 2) horseman w/ sword could be Attila. (seal 3) Horseman w/ scales sounds like capitalist cultures/companies. Then (seal 4) Death. I’ll skip the 5th seal (loud sound or …). (seal 6) great earthquake/sun is black/moon as blood/stars fall/skies scrolled up/mountains and islands moved: seems, to me, based on previous info and nuclear shockwave effects on skies, to be a major asteroid impact or volcanic explosion (Krakatoa comes to mind, and Santorini, and Toba, but nothing recent) or… (seal 6 pt 2) Revelations 6:15-16 fits a Solar micronova event (see suspicious0bservers.org (that “o” is a zero)), which is likely pending but hasn’t happened yet (the magnetic field is falling, which will lead to a strong solar wind wiping out our tech base and to massive increases in solar-radiation-caused cancers (Hello Death)) (the galactic current sheet seems to have reached us) – and the powerful and the wise are already prepping for this option. Trumpet 1 fits what man has done to the Earth; trumpet 2 & 3 fit a massive meteor impact; trumpet 4 fits the expected symptoms of either a micronova (no lie) or a massive meteor impact. Put trumpet 5 with trumpet 4 and the magnetic field loss from (seal 6 pt 2), as trumpet 5 fits all of these plus what is likely to come after the crash of our tech base (8 billion people and only food enough for 250 million (10 million of which live in the U.S., and the people who feed the U.S. (farmers doing the farming) are 1/2 of the survivors (1880 census showed 50M citizens of which 22M were farmers; 2022 farms = 2M and the 1880s farm tech could handle twice the farmers so 5 million farmers on 2 million farms can (post-disasters) support 10 million people) leaving 300 million angry near-starving U.S. people who get to decide who dies). Doesn’t this sound an awful lot like Trumpet 5? Eerie.
No, John Weaver is delusional. We haven’t even seen the 5th seal occur, unless we missed it because it was: a 1 time event; science is still trying to identify it (the mystery sound/signal); the religiously devout consider science, even tracking for science, to be hogwash; and/or only the hosts of Heaven heard it (modern humans are oblivious to that kind of signal). (5th seal possibles: the WOW signal, the loudest explosion in recent history (ooh, Krakatoa), and the loudest underwater sound.)
” The United States has just agreed to pay up to a billion dollars to poor countries for “climate reparations.” “[1]
This is comparable to someone paying .000204% of their annual income[2]. On a $20K annual income, that’s $4.08 for the year.
On the other hand, fixing the homeless situation by putting all of the homeless into houses for free has a projected cost of $15+ billion. [3] For the same $20K annual income, that’s $61.20 for the year.
The F-35, in contrast (an anti-war whipping boy), is expected to cost $412 billion [4], for 2500 planes[5], or $.165 billion each. So, a loss of 7 planes would cover the maximum reparations. Or a loss of 92 planes to freely house the homeless.

1: The article I’m replying to.
2: 4th and 5th paragraphs of https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/government-revenue/ (as of Nov 23, 2022) plus math;
4th paragraph reads “Where does federal revenue come from? If you lived or worked in the United States in 2022, your tax contributions are likely part of the $4.90 trillion collected in revenue. The federal government also collects revenue from services like admission to national parks and customs duties on foreign imports and exports. The majority of this revenue is used to pay for government activities (employee salaries, infrastructure maintenance), as well as to pay for goods and services provided to United States citizens and businesses.”
5th paragraph reads “In FY 2022, the federal government spent $6.27 trillion. Since the government spent more than it collected, the deficit for 2022 was $1.38 trillion. Visit our Spending and Deficit pages for more information on these activities.”
math: 1 billion this fiscal year / 4900 billion income last fiscal year = .000204 or .0204%; .000204 x $20K = $4.08 for the year; 15 x $4.08 = $61.20 for the year. I’m ignoring the actual amount spent by the U.S. because that would be $4.08 of the $25.6K spent on that $20K income.
3: “The price tag to treat the malady of homelessness works out at least $15 billion per year.” – 10th paragraph of https://www.streetsensemedia.org/article/ending-homelessness-would-cost-far-less-than-treating-it/

Similar things happening in the UK (where I live) and no doubt other European countries. Do you think this will be worse than the Great Depression?
“Why, they’re giving our money away. To other countries, no less.”
They’ve been giving money away to other countries forever. The USA has a vast amount of military bases all around the world, and it doesn’t take much thinking to realise that surely defending the USA doesn’t require all that many military bases, especially not those that are on the other side of the world. Not to mention military spending on countries that, realistically, won’t be able to pay back.
It’s true that the American military is a huge employer. But doesn’t it look at least reasonable that if those people employed in the military were employed instead in some productive activities within the USA, the money would be far more likely to increase American prosperity? After all, destruction and threatening to destroy can’t possibly be pathways to long-term prosperity. For a while, those that are cowed by American weaponry will accept American terms, but as soon as they see a chance to get out of terms imposed by threats, they will. Wouldn’t you do the same?
Actually, now that I think about it, I apologise for everything I just said. Feel free to delete my comment if it offends you.
The poor countries get reparations!! The reparation paid to a poor Country should be equalled to the fine imposed on the poor Country for importing goods from America and Europa and Chine, and it being used by their Citizens.
They should get bugger all.
