Daily Prepper Deal:

My Patriot Supply slashed prices up to 70% for Cyber Monday and thousands of preppers already claimed their discounted four week food kits with two free weeks included plus a Grid Doctor solar generator marked down one thousand dollars. December 8th cuts off the entire sale permanently, and after that you go back to paying full retail while watching prepared families stack supplies at prices you missed. The unprepared always have the same excuse after the crisis hits: they thought they had more time, and now you are making that same mistake while the clock runs down to December 8th.

BlackRock released a report stating that rising U.S. national debt, now exceeding $38 trillion, could boost adoption of Bitcoin as digital gold. The world's largest asset manager describes stablecoins as no longer niche but rather the bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity. CEO Larry Fink admitted BlackRock failed to recognize tokenization potential but now sees how it can expand investment beyond stocks and bonds. When the institution managing more wealth than most nations produces reports explaining how unsustainable debt drives people toward decentralized alternatives to fiat currency, that is not financial innovation. That is admission the monetary system is breaking and sophisticated money is positioning for what comes next. Previous issues explained central banks buying record gold because they know paper currencies are doomed. Now the largest asset manager on Earth is telling clients the same thing while wrapping it in language about innovation and opportunity.

U.S. employers announced 1.17 million job cuts through the first 11 months of 2025, a 54 percent increase from last year and the highest level since the first year of COVID. Telecom alone slashed 15,139 jobs in November with Verizon firing more than 13,000 employees. The unemployment gap between college graduates and high school graduates reached its lowest level since the late 1970s. In September, 25 percent of all unemployed Americans had college degrees. A restaurant chain that operated for 88 years closed its final 8 locations. U.S. manufacturing activity has fallen for nine months straight. When over a million jobs are eliminated, college degrees no longer provide employment advantage, and businesses that survived nearly a century cannot continue operating, the economic system is not experiencing a soft patch. It is collapsing under the weight of debt, automation, and wealth concentration that leaves ordinary people with nothing.

Ethiopia accused Egypt of escalating tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and Nile water use. Ethiopia's foreign ministry said Egypt remains attached to colonial era mentality treating the Nile as private property. Egypt has been almost entirely dependent on the Nile for water and agricultural needs for thousands of years and sees the dam as potential threat. Ethiopia claims it has the right to use Blue Nile waters which contribute 86 percent of the Nile's total flow. When nations that supply water to 100 million people accuse each other of colonial mentality and clinging to historical claims, those disputes do not get resolved through diplomacy. They get resolved through conflict over the most essential resource for survival. Previous issues documented Taiwan conflicts, Venezuela regime change, and Russia preparing for war with Europe. Now water wars are heating up in Africa as upstream and downstream nations position for control of rivers that determine whether populations live or die.

China has been seeking long term vulnerabilities in U.S. energy systems through groups like Volt Typhoon to maintain ongoing access for future potential disruptions. House panelists stated China is preparing for conflict over Taiwan potentially in the very near term, and its strategy depends on preventing the United States from mounting successful rescue mission. Part of China's plan is targeting U.S. civilian infrastructure to create panic and chaos. The aging U.S. infrastructure makes threats easier, including a hodgepodge of digital tools sitting atop analog foundation creating seams where adversaries can slip in. China has embedded itself in energy, communications, and water systems to set conditions for destructive attacks during Pacific conflict. When congressional testimony confirms that foreign powers have already penetrated critical infrastructure and are positioning for attacks timed with Taiwan invasion, the grid going down is not hypothetical disaster planning. It is documented military strategy by a peer adversary.

The State Department announced it will add online presence review to vetting requirements for all H1B visa applicants starting December 15th. H1B visa applicants and their dependents will have to make social media profiles public. Every visa adjudication is a national security decision, the department stated. Trump issued a proclamation introducing a one time $100,000 fee for H1B applications to curb abuse of the program, saying it has been exploited by companies to replace American workers with lower paid, lower skilled labor. When visa applications require surrendering all social media access while government imposes six figure fees, immigration is being treated as national security threat requiring total surveillance. That confirms what border security advocates understood for years. Mass migration created infiltration vectors that now require extreme vetting because the damage is already done.

Saronic Technologies will invest $300 million to expand its Louisiana shipyard, increasing production capacity for autonomous surface vessels. The expansion adds more than 300,000 square feet of new production space with completion scheduled for late 2026. The company introduced vessels ranging from 6 feet to 180 feet designed to meet U.S. Navy operational requirements. When private defense contractors invest hundreds of millions in unmanned vessel production timed for 2027 operational capability, those are not speculative investments in future maybe wars. Those are contracts to supply autonomous weapons for conflicts the Pentagon knows are coming within that timeframe.

Connect every signal. The largest asset manager tells clients unsustainable debt drives Bitcoin adoption because the monetary system is failing. Over a million jobs eliminated as the economy collapses. African nations escalate water disputes that will determine survival for 100 million people. China has already embedded in U.S. infrastructure positioning for attacks during Taiwan conflict. Visa applications now require total social media surveillance. Defense contractors build autonomous warships for delivery in 2027. Previous issues documented central banks buying gold, nations preparing for major wars, economic indicators screaming collapse, and infrastructure vulnerable to attack. Now every thread connects. Financial institutions confirm the monetary system is breaking. Employment data confirms the economy is dying. Water disputes confirm resource wars are beginning. Congressional testimony confirms enemies have penetrated critical systems. Surveillance confirms borders created security catastrophe. Defense production confirms wars are scheduled. Those who stacked hard assets, built resilience outside failing systems, prepared for grid down scenarios, and understood that everything converges were not paranoid preppers. They were people who read what powerful institutions actually do rather than what they say. When BlackRock tells you to buy digital gold while congress confirms China controls your power grid, the time for asking whether to prepare has passed. The only question left is whether you prepared enough.

Stay prepared,
