Editor’s Note: The list below by Michael Snyder is thought provoking, as his stories always are. But before we get a bunch of comments ripping on some of the things he notes, let’s state two things up front. First, this publication does not believe the climate change hoax. Second, men don’t get pregnant. As Michael is wont to do on the subjects of climate and gender, his perspectives on the topic aren’t clear so it behooves me to make sure this publication’s stances are completely unambiguous. With that said, here’s his article…
Time is running out for humanity. Our world becomes a little bit more like a really bad science fiction movie with each passing day, and our self-destructive tendencies are slowly but surely transforming our society into a living nightmare. Given enough time, we would destroy ourselves and everything around us. On a very basic level, most people can feel that global events are starting to spiral out of control. Evil is growing all around us, and just about everything that our leaders do to solve our rapidly growing problems seems to make them even worse. The pace of change just keeps getting faster and faster, and many fear that this will soon lead to widespread chaos all over the globe. The following are 10 signs that we really are living in apocalyptic times…
#1 Leaders all over the world seem to be catching “war fever”, and the Biden administration just made a military conflict with China even more likely by announcing a 345 million dollar weapons package for Taiwan…
The Biden regime is sending $345 million in weapons to Taiwan as they look to create another proxy war against China similar to the proxy war they have set up in Ukraine with Russia.
The U.S. made the announcement on Saturday. In response to the news, China has made it clear they will not be backing down.
“No matter how much of the ordinary people’s taxpayer money the … Taiwanese separatist forces spend, no matter how many U.S. weapons, it will not shake our resolve to solve the Taiwan problem. Or shake our firm will to realize the reunification of our motherland,” said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of China.
#2 Both sides just continue to escalate the war in Ukraine, and now the Russians are openly warning that they could potentially use nuclear weapons…
The Kremlin today bluntly threatened use of nuclear weapons in the wake of the Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow’s skyscraper zone.
Three drones struck an elite office building and residential skyscraper in Moscow early Sunday morning in what Russia’s Defence Ministry has branded an ‘attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime’.
Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president and Putin ally, has warned there is ‘simply no other way out’ and said that Kyiv should ‘pray to our warriors’ that they do not ‘allow the global nuclear fire to flare up’.
#3 According to the United Nations, 2.4 billion people already do not have enough food to eat. And now that the Black Sea grain deal has broken down and India has placed severe restrictions on rice exports, we are being warned that global food prices could soon go much higher…
Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium (BRC), said the price of bread and breakfast cereals were most likely to increase given Ukraine’s role as one of the breadmakers of the world.
Rice supplies are now also under pressure after India restricted most exports, which the World Bank warned on Monday (July 31) would cause “considerable increases in world prices and induce price volatility”.
#4 Pestilences are raging all over the globe, and many old diseases are now making stunning comebacks. For example, Florida has now become the epicenter for an outbreak of leprosy in the United States…
Health officials say that cases of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, are surging in Central Florida.
In a research letter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that Central Florida has accounted for 81 percent of reported cases in the state and almost one-fifth of reported cases nationwide.
#5 Global weather patterns have gone completely nuts. For example, Phoenix just had a streak where the high temperature reached at least 110 degrees for 31 days in a row…
Phoenix sizzled through its 31st consecutive day of at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit and other parts of the country grappled Sunday with record temperatures after a week that saw significant portions of the U.S. population subject to extreme heat.
#6 Men are getting pregnant and giving birth to babies…
A 22-year-old transgender man has given birth to twins after going through six rounds of artificial insemination in a bid to get pregnant.
Aaden Darr, a Starbucks barista from Charleston, West Virginia, was born biologically female but came out as transgender at 16 years old after identifying as a lesbian for several years and started a course of testosterone.
However, he soon came to realize that it was his dream to have a biological child – so he put a stop to his hormonal treatment and visited his local family planning clinic in order to begin the process of having a baby.
#7 Technology continues to increase at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking. In fact, it is being reported that scientists have developed a “breakthrough” treatment which “appears to annihilate all solid tumors”…
Scientists have developed what may be a “holy grail” molecule that eradicates all solid cancer tumors while leaving other cells unaffected. The breakthrough was achieved by the team at the City of Hope Hospital, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, and targets the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein.
A mutated form of PCNA assists cancers in their repair and growth. The team has developed a molecule, AOH1996, that targets and eradicates the mutated PCNA. Previously, PCNA was considered too challenging to be a target for therapy, but AOH1996 appears to annihilate all solid tumors in preclinical research.
#8 Scientists are bringing ancient species back to life. For instance, it is being reported that one team of researchers was recently able to “reanimate” worms that had been frozen for thousands of years…
Scientists have managed to reanimate worms that were frozen for an estimated 46,000 years.
Thought to have lived in the late Pleistocene era, a small group of the worms found 40 metres deep in the Siberian permafrost have been thawed out and revived.
#9 Deaths from heart attacks have been surging dramatically in every age group in the United States…
NBC’s the Today show reported, “A national study from Cedars Sinai hospital shows the deaths related to heart attacks increased across every age group since the spring of 2020, but the group that saw the biggest increase isn’t who you might think… The relative increase in heart attack-associated deaths among 25-44-year-olds was a staggering 30%… Experts are still working to figure out why young people are so impacted.”
#10 Our soil and water are already heavily saturated with microplastics, and now we are being told that this crisis is getting “exponentially” worse…
NOT EVEN THE Arctic Ocean is immune to the incessant growth of microplastic pollution. In a new study that analyzed sediment core samples, researchers quantified how many of the particles have been deposited since the early 1930s. As scientists have shown elsewhere, the team found that microplastic contamination in the Arctic has been growing exponentially and in lockstep with the growth of plastic production—which is now up to a trillion pounds a year, with the global amount of plastic waste projected to triple by 2060.
If you don’t understand why microplastics are a very serious existential threat to our society, you really need to read my most recent book. Given enough time, microplastics would completely collapse our civilization even if none of the other very serious problems that we are currently dealing with existed.
Of course the same thing could be said about nuclear war, global famine, AI and a number of other cataclysmic threats that we are now facing.
We really are living in apocalyptic times, and the months and years ahead of us promise to be very “interesting” indeed.

If good people can just bring balance by purging demoKKKrats from Earth, it could all return to normal. 👍😉
As a long time student of the Bible, your list isn’t all that predictive or aligned with end times as described in Scripture.
The title doesn’t read, “Biblical apocalyptic.” Just “Apocalyptic.”
Was kinda thinking the same thing. This article just wasted my time so the writer could get clicks. I think I’ll be adding the author to a mental blacklist.
This is the “End of the Age” and many will not survive. Only those that trust Christ, Jesus will prevail.
The end times? It’s been the end times for more than 2000 years right? There are so many problems with the conservative movement in this country and I think it’s because of Christianity(gasp)! Before you want to burn me at the stake hear me out. I am all for a person believing in what they want and subscribing to a religious point of view no matter what it may be, for religion offers hope to humanity, and don’t forget that religion relies on faith, which is influenced by our world view and how we feel about life and our environment. We find ourselves at odds with in Christianity‘s case the teaching that government was put there by God and we should obey the government but if it is put there by God and it becomes oppressive what are we to do then? Didnt God have the foresight to see that this particular government if it’s abusive would be abusive and if he did know that and see that in the future, why would he let it happen? I was very apprehensive about posting this comment because number one I knew it would cause controversy and number two books could be written on this topic. My intention in providing this comment is not to upset , or to infuriate people of faith or to appear as I am a heathen for actually, I was in the church for 10 years and over the course of those 10 years realized that I could no longer except the faith that was shared with me as a young child for as a young child, I knew nothing about the world around me I knew nothing about psychology or history or human nature until I was supplied that information in a very large book that I knew nothing about. I knew not who wrote it. I knew nothing of the political and social issues at the time that were brewing at the time the books were written. The information I obtained from this large book, made me realize that it fit my preconceived worldview. I found out that I wanted some of the contents in it to be true and I assumed that it was rather than approaching it from a rational and logical point of view which life‘s experiences teach you eventually, and if you’re smart, you will take heed of those lessons you have learned. What strikes me more than anything else about the way I used to be was I didn’t understand context and without context the message gets construed and loses all of its original meaning. For instance, when people teach that Jesus could return at any time, number one, it automatically makes you detach from being concerned or active to speak out against abusive government for instance because if he could come at any time, why should we get involved? It makes a person so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good. When Jesus supposedly said that some of the listeners standing there would not see death until he came back in the clouds, and called himself the Son of Man, why does the church still think that he could come back at any time today?He clearly was speaking of their time, John the Baptist said the axe is at the root of the tree and believed that God‘s kingdom would come in his lifetime. Jesus was the same mindset. He believed that it was at any time that God‘s kingdom would come back, so what happened? Was Jesus lying because obviously, he never returned to set up his kingdom and if he did return after the dead, why didn’t disciples recognize him?The context issue is crucial to understanding the texts, and by understanding context, you may discover something that you find upsetting about your faith. Also, the issue of divine authorship of the Bible comes into question for many reasons. Number one and foremost, where are the original copies? Why haven’t they been preserved? If they are so important why wouldn’t God protect them?Also what of the translation issues that arise from the texts, when something is translated into another language, it can lose its original meaning. Surely Jesus was speaking Aramaic so why don’t we have an Aramaic translation to English or will it be translated into Hebrew or Greek and what problems with arise then? Another obvious issue with the divine authorship of the Bible arises when one looks at Genesis. After God created and created man, he discovered he was disappointed with man and regretted creating man so he sent the flood to kill most of the human beings on the planet. Once again, this God seems not to see the future, and if he was so upset at Adam and Eve for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, why didn’t he just put the tree outside of the garden where they would not be able to eat from it and if he knew they were going to eat it and sin, and caused the downfall of every human being after them why would he do it anyway? And what of the Satan character? God did not foresee that Satan would rebel?Where did Satan get the evil thought to rebel against God? These are questions you may not have entertained in your mind, and you may think that by writing these things I have been deceived by the devil. If knowledge is indeed evil, and we should just rely on blind faith, where would we be as a society when we have doctors or engineers or scientists? If we just relied on something called faith I think that society will look a lot different and there would be much more suffering if we lived on the notion that knowledge was evil. I fear that the church has thought that knowledge was evil because the common folk would realize that if they do some research outside the church they would reslize they have been lied to, and they’ve been a victim of another control mechanism on society. These are just some of the issues I chose to bring up in this lengthy comment and please pardon my rambling. I will leave you with this. The Earth must really be flat and I say this in jest, because how else could Satan and Jesus go up to a high mountain top and see all the kingdoms of the world? This can only happen if the Earth was flat, and not a round globe. When it says that God watches over the circle of the Earth it was not a three-dimensional circle back then it was a flat disk like the Phoenicians maps showed, and some people believe that you could fall off the edge of the Earth if you sailed too far! I hope that I just made one person think and realize sometimes things we are taught just are not true .
