Here we are, the first day of July, only a few days before we celebrate our independence (in the US), and from the articles, I would have to say that things seem to be starting to speed up a bit. I know that many people have made this claim before, so I do so hesitantly. I know that there are periods where it seems like things are starting to fall apart of unravel, only to find a couple weeks down the road not much has changed.

The difference here, I think, is that it’s getting close to being time for it to happen. I’m referring to the aspect known as the Fourth Turning, in which cycles in history occur due to generational positioning. I’ve highlighted several articles here on the PNW recently about this and if you’ve read them, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I hope to do a podcast series on this in the near future, but it’s a deep topic, so start reading about it now, as I believe that it applies directly to what’s happening around us.

If you have find a news story or prepping-related article, send it in.
