So we are going to talk about that a little bit. And we'll end with, you know, pretty much, you know, the light of liberty is being switched

off in Europe, around other places in the world too. But, you know, in Europe, in France, in Germany, in all those EU countries, right? The ability to speak freely and the ability for the people to put in place the governments they want is being trampled upon. So we're going to very briefly just kind of like, you know, like we're going to get into all these different little topics and at some point this year I will do a more in-depth dive into a lot of these topics that you know you're going to hear we're going to talk about today we're going to discuss well my my my predictions for this year and and this is the order i'm going to put them number one i think that china is going to continue to isolate taiwan they're going to keep running their drills around taiwan they're

going to keep harassing the taiwanese flying over their country they're going to keep um you know you know they do the whole blockade with it with the ships and everything else and uh if this is the first time you're hearing about this right because you this stuff doesn't get any play in the mainstream media really then uh you know yeah it's been going on it's been going on for like close to three or four years actually um so they're going to continue to isolate taiwan i think that because I think that they're hoping to weaken the Taiwanese economically and, you know, and of course, to isolate them. And it's one way of weakening their Western enemies. Right. Because every time the Chinese act up, we send them billions and billions and billions of something. Right. you know to say hey to show the chinese

basically that you know hey you know uh we've we've got you know we're we're backing the taiwanese right so it's one way of weakening us weakening an enemy all you got to do is just kind of kick the hornet's nest over there in taiwan that's all the chinese got to do and and and and we we and of course uh you know allies send them billions and billions of dollars worth of some kind of equipment or the other right or armaments or something so um I think that the Chinese are playing a very clever game here I know that they had cut the uh cables the internet cables to Taiwan so So their service, I'm sure, was interrupted on some level. But they're playing all these games. And I still believe that at some point, regardless of who's in the White House,

that the Chinese are going to invade. And I think it's going to take... I think that the worst things get in China, like if their economy collapses or or, you know, something occurs socially that brings unrest in that country where the government believes that they've got to act. then they'll throw this red herring out there, right? The shiny object out there. Hey, look at that, right? To their population. And I think that they will invade Taiwan, you know? So if the Chinese economy gets worse, then I think they'll definitely go to war with Taiwan.

I think that while they might not have had the rebuilding their, you know, their economy on a war footing like Russia has, you know, in terms of, okay, where can I ship my stuff? And, you know, like, who are my allies and who can I trade with? And, you know, creating, you know, the BRICS, right? The whole BRICS, you know um union right you know um alternate alternate way of of trading and and operating uh you know uh outside of the U.S. dollar right um I do think that uh the Chinese are going to right continue to isolate Taiwan. And it's going to be interesting to see. They're playing a long game here.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with that situation. So I think that, yeah, they're going to continue to isolate Taiwan. That's number one on my list. Number two, Russia will continue to know, alliances all over the world. I think that, you know, because of the, I think that because of the aggressive U.S. policy towards Russia and, you know, I think that, I think that they've figured out that pretty much that they've got to be kind of independent if they want to. You know, if they want to continue in their own national interests, right, then Russia is going to continue to create powerful alliances around the world. I think that the Biden administration really weakened the U.S. position with countries around the world. And the Russians are going to fill that vacuum.

So that's number two on my list. So China will continue to isolate Taiwan was number one. And number two, Russia will continue to create powerful alliances all around the world. We're going to see that. And that's going to have implications long term for the U.S. dollar and our economy and our influence around the world. Number three, let's see, our social infrastructure, you know, like our infrastructure, right, is going to get worse. And, you know, I think that we'll see, you know, the railways, the roads, the train systems, you know, the subway systems that we have, you know, mass transportation, you know, we're going to see basically the continuing erosion of our national infrastructure. And hopefully this administration will begin making some headway in repairing some of that.

But it does have bad roads have an effect on the community. You know, overcrowded jails have an effect on the community. You know, so I think that we will see pretty much, you know, a degradation of our social infrastructure, a continuing degradation of our social infrastructure, regardless of the promises that this administration is going to make. I think that they've been left with a huge mess that it's going to take real time for a lot of these needs to be addressed. So socially, the infrastructure in our country, vital services are going to be lacking, whether it be your ability to, you know, contact, you know, or have police presence in your

community or because there's not going to be a lot of money to go around. I think that our economy is in a bad way and the chickens are still going to come home to roost. So I think the infrastructure is going to get worse. You know, I would not be surprised if, you know, there's more train crashes, if there's more, you know, issues with planes because they're not being maintained properly and stuff like that. The very things that really makes our society function, I think we're going to see a massive impact with that this year. So it's just one of the be prepared, be prepared, right? Be prepared.

Number four on my list is Europe. Europe will keep embracing uh totalitarianism uh in the guise of liberalism right uh it's amazing how all these liberal people cannot deal with anything that is not their you know they they can't deal with ideas right outside of their own um worldview right um and and any and and we've gotten to the point where one you know there's there's no real room anymore for you know um you know agree to disagree and and i'll meet you in the middle kind of a thing uh they've gotten they've seen the benefits of it and because they have the benefit of the mainstream media because many in the mainstream media of course support a lot of the you know the ideas right that they're pushing uh uh and what they've really done is you know

anyone who doesn't think like them right they, they call them all these names, you know, all these ad hominem attacks on people, and they've really scared people, right, they really did scare people over the last, say, eight years, you know, so people became quiet. While, you know, I think that they really thought that they, because they were the loudest, then they were, you know, then they were, you know, people were really agreeing with them. And now they're finding out, you know, that people really don't agree with a lot of the things that they've been, you know, pushing, you know, out there. And that's why, you know, we see all these conservatives now winning, you winning, conservative governments winning all across the world. And that is, you have to have some pragmatism, right?

But what the liberals have done is they've really gone out and made pariahs of anyone who don't think like them and you know they're even threatening to overturn elections so you you you have an election and the people say that we want uh these people you know running our country and then they say and then they go oh no we're gonna have to redo elections because that's got to be wrong. Oh, you know, or, you know, or it's Russian interference or they make up some crazy excuse and they're going to end up losing a lot. They're going to end up losing a lot. They're going to lose their countries by doing this. You know, they've got to meet people in the middle. And, you know, the whole idea of ignoring reality to appease, right, to appease certain sections of your community, right, does not work. You know, I think that people trust you more when you and people trust their governments when their governments say, OK, you know, while, you know, this this occurred and we need to fix it.

And while it might have occurred, you know, with the you know, these people were the ones that were doing it and we cannot paint everyone with the same brush of course uh you know but we still have to address the situation and make sure that this doesn't happen anymore uh and uh they're so scared of their own base a lot of these liberal um you know um parties in in a lot of these countries including here in the united states that they cannot, they cannot, you know, where common, they cannot embrace common sense anymore. It's this really radical, crazy, you know, you know, seriously, you know, seriously left of the spectrum, you know, views. And, and that's why they're losing, spectrum uh you know views and uh and and that's why they're losing right you know because they cannot address basic problems in their communities and uh and now they're pulling all these little dirty tricks so i do think that we're going to see right we're going to see where europe is going to

embrace the totalitarianism in the form of liberalism. And it's really just crazy to watch that happen. You know, Europe used to be a bastion of free thought, right? You might not agree with what somebody was saying, but you could say it. And then people would know what to do with you once you said it right but you did have that you did have that option uh when you cut that option off and you start to say okay and then you start to label everything that you don't like as hate speech then uh what you're doing is is that you're creating an atmosphere of repression in your country and uh you know and and of course um no one wins when that occurs so uh you know you're gonna see where uh the governments of europe become more totalitarian and they won't be able to meet the needs of their communities and i think that we're gonna see

we're gonna see we're gonna see some we're gonna see people in the streets in Europe. Talk about an Arab spring, right? We're going to see people in the streets in Europe because their governments are blocking the will of the people. So there's going to be a lot of social unrest in Europe. Last on my list is more terrorism across the world. I think that because of certain policies where we've allowed certain people into our country, right, all across the world without being properly vetted, then you're going to see a lot more terrorism. I mean, you know, all across the world without being properly vetted, then you're going to see a lot more terrorism. I mean, come on, right? If I was Iran and if I was North Korea and if I was

Russia, right, and any of those bad actors, and I knew that I could, you know, if I had people who are really like uber, you know, like into um you know they were patriots from you know you know they consider themselves patriots or martyrs or whatever and and they wanted to strike a blow for my co you know for for the con you know for the for the country right then why not why not have them just here in this country why not have them walk across the border and into this country and set up shop right so i think that we're going to see a lot more terrorism this year unfortunately um uh it's going to be interesting to see where all of these occur i do think that they're going to go after high

priority targets uh so um you know if you live in a big city, then I would be prepared to, hey, you know, if the mass transit is disrupted, how am I going to get home? How am I going to coordinate things with my family? You know, if there is if there is, you know, like if the infrastructure, something goes down, right, a critical part of the infrastructure, you know, you know, gets taken offline. Right. So I think that we're going to see more terrorism this year. Unfortunately, it's a really sad thing. We began the year with terrorism, unfortunately. And, you know, this is going to cause us a lot of problems this year. So just be prepared, be prepared. Okay, so that's my, I think that was five, right? My big five for this year, right?

And I just want to just kind of like, I'm just going to really just briefly mention a couple stories that I think tie in to everything that I just mentioned there. And we'll start with the EU globalists explicitly threatens to cancel German elections results. If right when AFD wins. Because what they're trying to say is that the AFD are Nazis. And that's not true. They're conservative. And they're centrist. But they're not nazis right but what they've done is they they have very very successfully painted them as you know xenophobic

nazis you know really really seriously bad people um when they're just basically conservative right you know nazis are nazis right um you know um these people aren't. And all they want is their government really basically to be accountable, right? But of course, you know, the people on the left, the progressive side of things, right, in these countries, right? Because it would disrupt if these, if those conservative parties win, it disrupts the whole climate change, you know, thing in Europe. It disrupts every everything that they've been gaming all this time and they don't want any interruption. So what they've really done is they're just demonized their, you know, their opponents and they're they're fudging around with their elections. And I don't think that's going to work well for him right so former french european commissioner thierry brenton has essentially openly confessed that the west stole the romanian election and stands ready to

do it again in germany if deemed necessary we did it in romania we'll do it in germany if necessary a translation from the French of Britain's recent appearance in European media said, early last month, a top Romanian court simply annulled the first round of the country's presidential election in order to create what amounted to a do-over election.

So, if they do over and they win again, then what are you going to do again, right? I think that they have a problem there because people are going to vote the same way pretty much. And I think that there might even be a larger amount of people coming out to vote because they messed up the elections, right? Because it never really works.

So, yeah, so Germany pretty soon are going to have their elections and they're threatening basically to overturn the elections in Germany if the AFD wins. Right. And I don't think that's going to go well. It's going to get really nasty in Europe. Right. The death of free speech in Europe, whether we agree with it or not. You know, it's that's the way things are going. you know it's that's the way things are going the other story here that's on the zero hedge that the one I just read it was on zero hedge this one is on zero hedge as well is Russia and Iran's to sign

comprehensive strategic partnership treaty this week so as I said you know Russia will you know keep creating powerful alliances around the world. Here we go, right? Russia and Iran have unveiled plans to sign a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty on Friday when Iranian President Massoud Pesikhan visits Moscow. The two nations, dubbed pariahs by much of the West, have seen their cooperation and relations grow in context of the Ukrainian war. On January 17th, Vladimir Putin will hold talks with the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Massoud Pereskan, and who will come to Russia on an official visit, the Kremlin announced Monday.

Let's see. Monday. Right. Let's see. The treaty to be signed by the week close. It was previewed as heavily focused on defense and security cooperation. It will confirm the party's desire for closer cooperation in the field of defense and interaction in the interest of peace and security at the regional and global levels. Russian Foreign Ministry. Sergei Lavrov said earlier. of peace and security at the regional and global levels a russian foreign ministry uh sergey lavrov said earlier okay so that's happening this week guys okay that's happening this week okay and

that's have all kinds of prophetic overtones too that we just can't get into uh right now and uh here we go. Let's see. The next one I look at is also from Zero Hedge. And it says, California insurance crisis just got a whole lot worse. It's really interesting. This is something that's not really covered in the mainstream media.

But about a year ago, a bunch of insurance companies pulled out of California because of the fires, right? And now, you know, with the fire, the new fires that started this year, you know, a lot of these people in California lost their homes are going to realize that the bureaucratic red tape, you know, like if you want to rebuild, you know, it's going to be very difficult for them to rebuild these homes and, you know, to actually replace these homes tape you know like if you want to rebuild you know it's going to be very difficult for them to rebuild these homes and you know to actually replace these homes you know uh you know i think insurance is going to be a very big deal down in california so this is a bad you know this

is a bad runner you know uh you know this is a bad run of uh that's occurring there in California. But it says, As California has already faced significant challenges finding home insurance, the fires ravaging Los Angeles County could make it even more difficult and costly to insure properties in the future. Deadly fires have erupted beginning January 7th, causing at least 11 deaths, leading to the ongoing ordered evacuation at one point of more than 180,000 individuals, with another 200,000 warned to get ready for possible evacuation. More than 10,000 buildings are damaged or destroyed across the county, according to

the latest estimates, with the number expected to rise as fires are minimally contained. AccuWeather estimates economic losses from the fires to reach up to $150 billion. Wow. Right. So let's see. So let's see. State Farm non-renewed approximately 160 policies in the region in 2024 of approximately 30,000 homeowners and 42,000 apartment policies. It dropped statewide, citing rising costs and risks. This decision was not made lightly and only after careful analysis of State Farm's general financial health,

which continues to be impacted by inflation, catastrophe, exposure, reinsurance costs, and the limitations of working within decades-old insurance regulations, the company said in a statement. So let's see wow so that's state farm right uh and there are other uh insurance companies right that you know that dropped policies in california so i think that you know that's going to be a serious problem and we were talking about the infrastructure right the degradation of the infrastructure that's going to be a serious problem. And we were talking about the infrastructure, right, the degradation of the infrastructure that's not being properly maintained. And we see this in California with the hydrants and the reservoir, the different things are not properly maintained. You know, I mean, we're getting a fire season, you would think that, you know,

number one priority is, can we put fires out, right? You know, that's, it's a big thing in this state. And I think that in a lot of blue blue states we're going to be seeing a lot of the serious degradation of the infrastructure as a lot of the monies that are collected in taxes that should be going towards that infrastructure is going to be going into other social programs that you know really aren't necessarily a top priority you know where people's lives and safety are concerned uh you know which should be getting top priority, you know, where people's lives and safety are concerned, you know, which should be getting top priority. So, you know, prepare, prepare, prepare is all I have to say on that. So we'll do another deep dive at some point into the insurance issues that's going on in California. And if you're listening to this in California, right, I'm really sorry, but you

really got to make sure that check out your insurance providers and make sure that you're, you know, that you are covered and covered properly. Okay. All right. Getting through it. Getting through it. Right. The last thing that I will look at is, could there be a reason why Los Angeles is burning that no one really wants to talk about? And this was in themostimportantnews.com, right? And I'll just briefly get into it here, right? Now, let's see. Now, I'm sure that you've seen this on the news and if you haven't, right? But, you know, and this was written by Mike Snyder, right?

It says, most people living in the Western world consume entertainment that originates from Los Angeles almost every single day. Most of us are literally opening up our minds and pouring in filth on a regular basis that has had absolutely devastating consequences. Of course, much of that filth that the entertainment industry produces openly mocks God and misuses his name. Sadly, the entertainment industry was even mocking God at the Golden Globes Awards just 48 hours before the fires hit. So they mocked God on Sunday at the Golden Globes. A couple of days later, their houses burned. And that was on Twitter, right? Which is seriously unfortunate. And I know that a lot of people are not going to like me saying this, right? And this is really horrible. But, you know, come on, you know, you mock God at your own risk, right? And there is something, I was here, you know, somebody did a study

on Israel. And any country that openly comes out and says, hey, you know, we're not going to back Israel, within 48 hours, something occurs, right, in that country. And there's been someone who's gone out and documented all of this. And at some point, I'm really going to have to do a show on that. But every time a group of people openly, openly mocks God, openly mocks God in this way, a lot of times there's a reckoning. There are consequences for that. Right. There are consequences for that. And 48 hours after all of these people sat there. Right. In, you know, in the Golden Globes and pretty much like, yeah, you know, you know, you know, cast and crew, you know, you know, you know, so much, you know, people, you know, thanked cast and crew and so much people thank their mom and no one thanked God and they laughed all about that, right? Some people probably sitting in that room lost their homes, unfortunately, okay?

And the problem with all of that is I think it's all lost on them and they will never, ever really understand that. They will never understand the game that's being played on a spiritual level because a lot of those people don't believe in any of that, right? They don't believe in any of that. So I just kind of wanted to touch on that article, right? And if you haven't seen it, then please go check it out. The video is also embedded in the article as well. So that's it for us right now. Thank you for

joining me. I covered a lot of material here, right? But welcome back. You know, the cold air is going to come pouring in again. So prepare, prepare, prepare, right? If you lose power, right? You know, prepare, right? You know, this is all about self-sufficiency and everything else. You should have your generator ready to go. should have an alternate heating source right um because you know the weather can always take a you know a turn for the worst right so make sure that you're preparing to get your family and yourself through that right we live in serious times and serious times demand serious people right okay so keep on listening to PBN.
