There’s something in the air and those who are paying attention can feel it. Vivek Ramaswamy and Tucker Carlson noted recently they seem to think we are on the verge of a revolution or reckoning.
In the past 3 years — but really since 9/11 — there’s been a monumental shift within the powers that govern the world and our society.
Maybe it was the years of prolonged wars overseas that did little to improve the world or make our nation more secure. Maybe it was the Covid 19 pandemic that illustrated just how far the deep state and other organizations and governments around the world were willing to overstep their authority.
It could very well be the intense divisiveness within our country politically — many feel like we are on the brink of all out Civil War in the United States, and other countries all across the world have seen coups take place, revolutions, and complete changes of government play out in recent months.
Part of it is likely the degradation of our society and values — the globalization of the world, the far left progressive visions that politicians giddily implemented, and the seperation from reality in regards to the basic rules that govern nature and humans.
Truth is — it’s a little bit of all of that.

Today — I am going going to give you a complete and realistic assessment of indicators you need to be paying attention to and the disturbing trends that are magnifying with each passing day in the United States and around the world.
It doesn’t mean everything has to be doom and gloom but it does require a degree of objectivity and maturity to look at the consequences of certain policies and trends and how they will end up impacting all of us.
A number of tells have emerged about the next big “black swan” or calamity that the people in the US and around the world are going to have to endure and deal with. It’s obvious to me that some people are beginning to wake up to the detrimental policies and ideology that has gotten us into this position to begin with.
With a pivotal US Presidential election fast approaching, many problems, trends, and developments are accelerating in the wrong direction.

The information, events, and facts covered in today’s guide are table stakes if you want to be an informed and prepared citizen. The games are over. The years of care free and decadent lifestyles are over for everyone except those at the very top that have influence on the way we are governed, controlled, and managed. Not all hope is lost — but tough times are ahead and only those who “get it” will have a chance at remaining prosperous, free, and sovereign.
There are three primary scenarios I see as being highly likely of escalating to the point of disaster in the new year. Today we will walk through them and cover the implications for everyday Americans and citizens like ourselves. These scenarios factor in signs and indicators that are already commanding the attention of federal agencies, governments, and officials world wide. To not touch on them NOW would be a disservice to all of my readers and followers.
I will continue to expand on these events in Arb Letter as the year goes by so that people have a true sense of the challenges we are facing. Without this context it is nearly impossible to hedge, prepare, and be aware of some of the more detrimental outcomes the country and world face if things don’t change course quickly.

Bio Threats & Political Rewards
If you’re paying attention in the aftermath of Covid you know that several major things have come to light.
By now most Americans — unless they are true sheep — know that we were lied to and deceived egregiously. From the origins of Covid, to the treatments, to the experimental vaccines that were rushed and shilled by every corner of institutional America, it’s clear that the event was leveraged by bad actors to either make absurd amounts of money or consolidate power.
