King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed “deep horror and shock” over the attack on several Jews in Amsterdam Thursday night following a soccer game where Maccabi Tel Aviv played. “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” Willem-Alexander said to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Willem-Alexander added that the Dutch government would ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis visiting the country and facilitate their safe return to Israel. Herzog told the king that the attacks “echoed dark and grim times for Jewish people and must be equivocally condemned.” According to victims of the attacks, organized gangs of Arab and Muslim rioters waited for Jews who were leaving the soccer game and attacked them in the street. Social media videos show attackers hunting, beating, and injuring Israelis while shouting “Free Palestine” and curses in Arabic. The Embassy of Israel to the United States shared footage of the attack and provided phone numbers that Israelis in trouble could call. Dutch Jews reportedly rescued victims and took them to the airport or safe places, according to Chabad media director Motti Seligson. Israelis were instructed by the country’s foreign ministry to stay in their hotels to ensure their safety. At 9:00 a.m., the ministry told traveling Israelis it was safe to go to the airport, but advised them to avoid displaying Jewish and Israeli symbols, the Times of Israel reported. Israelis were advised to go back to Israel as soon as possible. Five injured people were taken to the hospital and 62 people have been arrested, according to Amsterdam police. Israeli officials claim 10 Israelis were injured. The attack occurred just days before the 86th anniversary of the Kristallnacht, a pogrom carried out by Nazis in Germany on November 9, 1938, during which Jewish-owned stores, businesses, and synagogues were vandalized. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office requested increased security for the Dutch Jewish community. “The harsh pictures of the assault on our citizens in Amsterdam will not be overlooked,” Netanyahu’s office stated. “Prime Minister Netanyahu views the horrifying incident with utmost gravity and demands that the Dutch government and security forces take vigorous and swift action against the rioters, and ensure the safety of our citizens.” Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar reportedly flew to the Netherlands to meet with Dutch officials at Netanyahu’s request. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he spoke with Netanyahu on Friday and stressed that perpetrators will be identified and prosecuted. Israeli civilians who lost their passports will be permitted to board planes with photocopies or transit documents, the Jerusalem Post reported. During the attack, unconfirmed images appeared on social media claiming to show Israeli passports that were stolen during the attack. Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon and many others have called the attack a “pogrom.” “‘Globalize the intifada’ was not just a slogan for these terrorist supporters,” Dannon told Fox News. “I urge the Dutch government to help all Israelis and Jewish people immediately. It’s time to respond with force against these barbaric rioters.” Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took to X, claiming “Arabs are rampaging around and brutally beating Israeli tourists.” He called on the Dutch authorities to take action, claiming that people were run over, beaten, and driven into a river. Right-wing Netherlands political leader Geert Wilders also described the attack as a pogrom on X. “We have become the Gaza of Europe,” Wilders posted. “Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews. I will NOT accept that. NEVER. The authorities will be held accountable for their failure to protect the Israeli citizens. Never again.”

A federal judge on Thursday struck down a Biden administration program that would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.  U.S. District Judge John Campbell Barker ruled that President Joe Biden’s “parole in place” program was illegal after it was challenged by a coalition of Republican attorneys general. The program was rolled out in June and created a pathway for legal status for illegal immigrants married to American citizens and illegal immigrant stepchildren of American citizens.  Barker ruled that DHS lacked “statutory authority under” the law to grant parole to illegal immigrants. The judge, who was appointed by Donald Trump, blocked the program from taking effect in August.  DHS estimated that the program would have applied to around 550,000 illegal immigrants, while its opponents argued the actual number was much higher.  The Department of Homeland Security was sued by 16 states and America First Legal after it announced the program in June. The states that challenged the program were Texas, Idaho, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris created a crisis at the southern border, leaving the American people to pay the consequences. In the wake of the federal government’s refusal to act, states like Missouri had no choice but to step in and take action to secure our southern border,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said Thursday. “We filed suit to ensure millions of unvetted individuals are not invading our communities.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton praised the states for blocking the parole program, saying it would have “paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history.” The policy was sharply criticized by President-elect Donald Trump on the campaign trail earlier this year after it was announced.  “Crooked Joe’s action today is an illegal, unconstitutional amnesty without approval from Congress, no approval from the courts, or the American people,” Trump told thousands of supporters at a rally in Wisconsin. “When I’m re-elected, Joe Biden’s illegal amnesty plan will be ripped up and thrown out on the very first day that we’re back in office.” Trump has promised to enact a strong crackdown on illegal immigration once back in office and enact the largest deportation program in American history.

When older generations see moms of young children out in public, they might be tempted to say something. We often hear stories of strangers telling a mom that she’s parenting wrong or that she must have her hands full. Hearing those things while moms are in the trenches isn’t helpful and can hurt their feelings. But when a stranger says something kind to a mom with her children, that can make all the difference in the world. @_stephmorrison_ I never would have guessed what the man would say nor did I ever predict tears would roll down my face like they did. Thankful for this sweet glimmer from God #momspiration #momsoftiktok #momsover30 #quotesforyou #momquotes #postpartumjourney #postpartumlife #happywords #happinessbegins #creatorsearchinsights ♬ take a moment to breathe. – normal the kid A Mom Of 3 Had An Emotional Moment With A Stranger Stephanie Morrison, 33, shared in a now-viral video that an older man said something that struck her during a walk with her kids. Instead of saying something negative, as she expected, the elderly man said, “Wow, you’re gonna have a lot of fun.” The sweet message from a stranger made the mom cry. She said she could see the joy in his eyes as he thought about his younger days, and she felt validated and loved. “I don’t know why I’m getting emotional telling you now, but most people say, like, ‘Oh, you have your hands full.’ And it’s my biggest pet peeve,” she said. “But he was so sweet, and I could, like, see the memories flash through his eyeballs.” As her video took off on TikTok, other moms shared sweet moments with strangers in the comments. One wrote, “An older man in the grocery store stopped me when my son was 8 months old and said, ‘Young enough to still talk to the angels, put in a good word for me!'” This person had a similar moment, “My only son is 7 months. I can’t have any more kids due to life-threatening complications at birth. The other day, a man said to me, ‘he gets to have you all to himself. Isn’t that so special?’ I cried.” “I’m 8 mo pregnant, and an older gentleman in the grocery store looked at me and said, ‘Best thing you’ll ever do’… tears,” according to another sweet man. Stephanie, we love this. Friends, take notes. Sometimes, that sweet comment from a stranger is just what a mom needs. Trust us, we know. The source of This story’s image can be found here.

Harris was preposterously running as a turn-the-page, new-generation candidate

A post shared on social media purports that President Joe Biden posted “that’s what you get” in response to the polls on election night. pic.twitter.com/0VNzO8WH9l — AB (@AB84) November 6, 2024 Verdict: False The claim is inaccurate.

'God clearly doesn't like being used as a cudgel to cow the innocent'

'You don't come here to do drugs'

The claim stems from the X account RealRawNews, which is known for writing fictitious and satirical stories.

A total economic and social collapse is a catastrophic event characterized by the widespread dysfunction of critical systems, including government, economy, infrastructure, and basic services. While such a scenario is extreme, recognizing early warning signs can be crucial. I have been monitoring the Cuba scenario. To me, that is the definition of a failed State holding to the remains of a collapsed country ruled by thugs terrified of a popular armed uprising. As our economy was destroyed by design, to control the population and crush the opposition among other goals, I believe I can describe the indications better than someone who never watched this happening. In my research, a few events arose, as expected. Nevertheless, there were a couple of not-so-evident things that I’m going to point out. By now, most of you reading this are very much aware of the loom and doom that destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and even these days, we feel panic every time the exchange rate with the USD changes. For this past month (Oct. 2024), it went up 13%. Enough to shake many people and make others begin thinking again about migrating. Meanwhile, we have a single-digit “growing”, and a 50% inflation…in USDs. (This year!) It is awesome to see how, despite oil production increasing at a snail’s pace, inflation seems to be looming again. It has been up almost 15% since 2022. Here are some key indicators: Economic Indicators Hyperinflation: Uncontrolled inflation that rapidly erodes the value of currency. Shortly after the bus driver got into the Palace we started to see how our currency started this infamous process. This was so severe that it wiped off most of the wealth and living standards. We haven’t been able to recover it ever since 2015 when it started. This is so self-explanatory that there is not too much need for further discussion. Commodity Shortages: Severe shortages of essential goods like food, water, and fuel. At the present moment, supermarkets are overflowing with all kinds of products. Of course, getting the money to buy them is the hard part. Most of them come from Brazil, for the sake of money laundering schemes related to gold, and the fees charged by the concession of the narcotics trafficking routes control to the “producers”. But can’t prove it though. Mass Unemployment: it occurs when a significant portion of a nation’s workforce is unable to find suitable employment. Here, “suitable” refers to jobs that align with an individual’s existing skills and experience. Unemployment in large amounts, is often viewed as a symptom of a deeper malaise within a society. It can serve as a powerful indicator of a nation’s economic health and can signal the onset of more severe societal problems. Mass unemployment is a financial issue at its core. When a large number of people are out of work, it has a ripple effect throughout the economy. Consumer spending decreases as people have less disposable income. Businesses are forced to lay off more workers because of the decline in demand, in a downward spiral. Recession/Depression: This can lead to a recession or even a depression, depending on the severity and duration of the unemployment. The effect of mass unemployment deteriorates the nation’s tax base. With fewer people working and paying taxes, governments have less revenue to fund essential services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. This can lead to a decline in the quality of life for citizens and further erode the nation’s competitiveness. The social consequences of mass unemployment are equally profound. High unemployment rates are often associated with increased crime rates, societal unrest, and political instability. Uptick in property crime: When people are searching for work without success, they may turn to desperate measures to support themselves and their families. I have seen this happening. This means an increase in property crime, drug use, and other serious antisocial behaviors. We have experienced first-hand how mass unemployment is eroding the social cohesion. It is not as if we had faith in the ruling gang to begin with, but re-engineering of our social fabric executed by Cuban agents made it much worse. This led to a breakdown of social trust and made it difficult for communities to come together to solve problems. Mass unemployment can have a significant impact on a nation’s political landscape, and Venezuela is (sadly) one of the most relevant examples in modern History. Discontent with the handling of the economy can lead to political instability and even regime change (as it is already happening, happily!). Populist politicians often exploit the economic anxieties of unemployed workers to gain power, promising easy solutions to complex problems. Unsustainable Debt: A national debt that exceeds a country’s capacity to repay. An enormous external debt has exacerbated Venezuela’s economic crisis. This situation brings along a payload of negative consequences that have made our circumstances even worse. Let’s define this: debt is considered unsustainable when a country is incapable of paying back the interest or principal on its loans. This situation is known to generate a crisis involving both economic and societal aspects. The government is then forced to allocate a large portion of its resources to debt service, rather than investing in areas such as health, education, and infrastructure. Traditionally, our country has experienced a weakness in the public sector regarding these three areas mentioned above. The trend then goes downhill with time, as the real responsible for the crisis are those controlling all the aspects of the public financial system, including the monetary policy. There are no experts that want to be involved in that mess, by the way; most of the “official” public “servants” with middle rank and choice makers don’t have neither the skills nor the will to do something to improve the situation. Their only goal is to perform as financial operators to help them in the cover-ups. The 100% control of the price of the USD is what makes our Central Bank a joke. Financial Market Collapse: The collapse of stock markets and a general loss of confidence in financial institutions. Mind you, in the most recent post-apo movie that sparkled our interest in one of the streaming sites, one of the main characters could read something was happening…in the charts of the stock exchanges of the world. I have read some good fiction, and it’s quite interesting to see how some of the characters are related to the financial world and can read the writings and make some predictions. Social Indicators Increased Violence: crime, civil unrest, and social conflict are (obviously) among the most visible. As a side note, why wait for this to happen? Any sane prepper should know that leaving early to avoid a potentially harmful situation is the way to go. You don’t have a place to Bug Out? Can you Bug in safely for a while until things clear up? Can you Bug out at all? Include here the State-sponsored actions to “pacify” the country and you will see how advanced the collapse is. Another failed State that we should be looking at is Cuba. The collapse is total there. Over one million people left in 2023 only.  Add this book to your library to keep all the Organic Prepper articles on dangerous times in your library. Mass Migration: A large-scale exodus of people seeking better living conditions. I consider this as the most painful indicator. Being part of these statistics, I can say I share encountered feelings regarding this. This is not only the most painful but the most visible. If things were livable, people wouldn’t flee away. Family Breakdown: A rise in family disintegration and social issues like poverty, mental health issues like depression, and substance abuse. Another catastrophic effect of all the circumstances mentioned above. Infrastructure Collapse: Failures in essential services such as electricity, water, and sanitation. Erosion of Trust: A widespread loss of confidence in government, businesses, and other institutions. This should have disappeared in Venezuela like back in the early 60s. The influence of the red Caribbean gang dates from that era, indeed. Political Indicators Political Instability: Weak governance, frequent regime changes, and internal conflict. Corruption: Widespread corruption at all levels of government. Human Rights Abuses: Restrictions on freedom of speech, political persecution, and state-sponsored violence. Environmental Indicators Environmental Degradation: Severe pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. Resource Depletion: Scarcity of essential resources like water and energy. Natural Disasters: Increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters. It’s crucial to note that these indicators often interact and can exacerbate one another. A total collapse is typically a gradual process, marked by a series of interconnected events. It won´t be like your typical Hollywood collapse, where the family is someday having dinner or hanging out in a mall and the next fighting for survival with a horde of…whatever your favorite monster is. While it may seem like a distant possibility, understanding the warning signs can help mitigate risks and prepare for potential challenges. This is not intended to be a political article; on the contrary. I found it amazing to learn that a war does not have to be necessarily declared; it can unfold without such formalities. If it’s like this, then I’m afraid we should be pretty much aware of the facts, and the actions of everyone involved in such plays; and pay much less attention to the biased mainstream media nonsense. Thanks for your reading, and your much-needed donations and sponsoring. Stay safe, and keep tuned. J. What do you think? Which, if any, of these signs have you seen in your area? Do you think our economy is too far gone to be saved? Let’s discuss it in the comments section. About Jose Jose is an upper middle class professional. He is a former worker of the oil state company with a Bachelor’s degree from one of the best national Universities. He has an old but in good shape SUV, a good 150 square meters house in a nice neighborhood, in a small but (formerly) prosperous city with two middle size malls. Jose is a prepper and shares his eyewitness accounts and survival stories from the collapse of his beloved Venezuela. Jose and his younger kid are currently back in Venezuela, after the intention of setting up a new life in another country didn’t  go well. The SARSCOV2 re-shaped the labor market and South American economy so he decided to give it a try to homestead in the mountains, and make a living as best as possible. But this time in his own land, and surrounded by family, friends and acquaintances, with all the gear and equipment collected, as the initial plan was.  Follow Jose on YouTube and gain access to his exclusive content on Patreon. Donations: paypal.me/JoseM151 The post Early Warning Signs of a Total Economic and Social Collapse appeared first on The Organic Prepper.
