Life on Earth has been consistently culled by cycles of extreme weather and I propose that we are currently moving into a prolonged cold snap in which many of us will die not because of the weather but because of worldwide crop failures. Further to this I propose that we are not busy in preparation for this inevitability because the ruling elite want to make sure this cull is even more effective than the last little ice age (1645 - 1715).
Of all the so called conspiracies I have looked into over the last ten years this feels as if it is the most important because no matter who shot JFK, if we went to the moon or even if the earth is round or flat, we still have a chance to thrive here. But when there is not enough food to eat, then we are all affected directly.
Looking at ice core samples and sea bed sediment around the world we have been able to determine an accurate temperature map of the Earth spanning millions of years, yet few of us seem aware of what this map reveals.

Education
We are taught in school about ice ages as things of the past, yet did you know that we are living in an ice age now?
The Quaternary Ice Age has lasted 2.5 million years so far and its 10,000 year (approx) inter-glacial warm periods are separated by glacial cold periods which last several times as long and one thing they most certainly did not teach us in school is that we are currently at the end of a warm spell, moving back into a glacial period. The image on the right is taken from a documentary produced in 1988, just prior to the time in which it was decided to tell us a different story.
Since the late 1980s we have been programmed to believe that we are responsible for an ongoing increase in global temperatures and the idea of an upcoming ice age has all but been forgotten.
Today we are focused on reducing CO2 emissions and dimming the sun by releasing chemicals into the sky, the effects of which will only make the impact of what is coming worse.
It's hard to know fact from fiction in a world where we are presented selective evidence to achieve specific goals (global warming = carbon taxes), so let me ask you something... are you personally finding your winters to be warmer than they used to be?
I can only speak for myself but here in the South of France there is no question that the growing season is getting shorter with unseasonable frosts during the spring and autumn, while the farmers are struggling to keep up with these relentless extremes, many of them going out of business already.
Cycles within cycles
The only 'normal' in climate is consistent change.
When we examine the frequency of ice ages it becomes clear there are many cycles at play, some much longer than others.
First let's look at the sun's 11 year solar magnetic activity cycle, observable from Earth as sun spot activity. It is crucial at this point to understand there is a link between solar activity and winter weather.
The Earth is warmest when solar activity is at its peak (solar maximum) and coolest during periods of reduced solar activity (solar minimum) and there is also a correlation between solar activity and seismic/volcanic activity on Earth.
Without understanding the mechanics of this connection even NASA admit "it's quite likely" the magnetic activity of the sun plays a part in controlling our weather on Earth and confirms "the (grand) solar minimum is coming, and it's coming sooner than we expected." David Hathaway (NASA Solar physicist).
Other related cycles:
Solar Retrograde Cycle - the sun has its own orbit and every 180 years it goes into retrograde motion and the Earth gets cooler.
Little Ice Age Cycle - every 360 years when sunspots remain at a minimum for a prolonged period, we have a mini ice age.
Milankcovitch Cycles - every 10,000 years (approx) we have an ice age.
Orbital Stretch Cycle - every 100,000 years (approx) we have an ice age.
Every one of these cycles is about to reach its cold period at the same moment and we have no idea what effect this will have, though we can safely assume it is going to get a lot colder for a long time.
Based on the temperature map of Earth's past we know that ice ages can happen quite suddenly, relatively speaking, in as little as 20 years.
So, are you feeling ready?
This is what the River Thames in London looked like in 1684, during the last mini ice age (Maunder Minimum).
People did their best to adapt and make the most of the situation, yet still millions died unnecessarily.
The Maunder Miniumum
This was a period of diminished solar activity between 1645 and 1715 when sunspots were very rare, sometimes disappearing entirely for months to years. At the same time, Earth experienced a bitter cold period known as the "Little Ice Age."
The Maunder Minimum (also known as a grand solar minimum) was a devastating period for human life, not just because people froze & starved to death, but because of civil wars, plagues & even animal attacks from hungry wolves & dogs. To read a detailed account of how this period affected human life check this article.
It has been noted that empires rise and fall with the warming and cooling of the planet, so if we are on a cooling trend now we can expect to see some dramatic changes ahead.
A simulated continuation of the sun's 11 year cycle has been presented here, along with the conclusion that we are currently moving into the next grand solar minimum, similar in scale to the Maunder Minimum.

Click on the graph to get to an in depth examination of how this conclusion has been reached.
Here you can see how global temperatures have been falling for the last 8000 years.

When we zoom out further the overall cooling trend is evident. Along with a wider fluctuation of temperatures.
Seeing all these cycles within cycles you can understand how easy it would be to isolate a small time period to fit whichever story we wish to tell. From the year 1996 to 2001 for example the Earth was warming due to its connection to the sunspot cycle, so any readings from this period would have perfectly fitted the global warming narrative.
Global warming is a lie
Designed to distract us from the truth that the world is cooling they told us that CO2 emissions were responsible for global warming & happily created the carbon tax, yet since then global emissions have increased and the global temperature has dropped. Click here to see a list of climatologists and scientists who disagree with the idea of anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming.
If you are looking for further evidence you will find a long list of publications here compiled by iceagenow.
Why don't they want us to know about this?
Short answer: they expect lots of us to die.
I know this sounds harsh but if you consider for one moment how the population of the world is getting out of control not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of awareness of the control system, you can see how an ice age would be a welcome reset by the powers which seek to maintain an effective control system.
We are their greatest tool as tax paying consumers, but we are also their greatest threat as an exponentially growing group of awakening humans.
If you are wondering why you don't already know about this 'power behind the throne', you may find this quote useful:
"Only power that is hidden is power that endures".
You are not supposed to know.
The Illuminati (enlightened ones) have many names and evidence of their existence is minimal but it can be found in the form of whistleblowers who have been speaking out since the 1960s.
It is said they have already been controlling our numbers for decades by poisoning our food & water supply and manipulating our medical system. It is said they plan to crash the financial system, call in all debts and bankrupt the masses so that a new financial system can replace the old. It is said they have no compassion for human life and will do anything to retain their secret position of power at the top of the pyramid.
How to survive the coming ice age
No matter if you believe or not in the existence of a hidden group which seeks to cull us, we would all benefit from acquiring the kind of skills one might need to survive an ice age.
During the last glacial maximum (ice age peak) only the Northern Hemisphere (and New Zealand, Peru & Chile) were severely affected, so if indeed we are moving back into an ice age we can expect to see a similar pattern developing with the extreme cold isolated mostly in the Northern Hemisphere countries.

Despite popular belief there are a huge number of glaciers all over the world which are growing in size each year. Check this list if you are interested to know which ones. Even NASA have admitted in this 2015 article that the Antarctic snow is "adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers". Simply put, the overall mass of the ice sheet is increasing.
You may imagine based on the above map that you will be safe in the warmer regions, but evidence suggests these areas will see extreme drought, earthquakes and intense volcanic activity which could block out the light of the sun for long periods.
Data shows that 85% of all major volcanic eruptions post 1600 AD have been associated with solar minimum periods, so as we move into our next solar minimum, we know what to expect.
Taking Action
Since discovering all of the above information I have re-ordered my life plan and prioritised the purchase of land here on the French/Spanish boarder. An area which research has shown to be very popular during the glacial maximums. Most likely due to the agricultural valleys here, combined with clear skies and warm sun, even during the winter.
Here is a list of requirements for my land:
- Must be isolated in nature, far from any main roads.
- Must be close to running water. Ideally a river but canal would be acceptable.
- Must have an area which is suitable for agriculture.
- Must have an area where we can build or expand on an existing property, in a way which best utilises the warm sun here.
- Must have an area where we can create a 'secret garden'. In times of hunger it is very likely that the main agricultural area will be raided.
- Must be connected to land which could be built upon by others, in order that a community could grow around us if it needed to.
Learning how to use the land is priority number one, with a particular focus on winter vegetables.
It is worth remembering that the crops of the world will fail not only because of the colder temperatures & shorter growing seasons but also because of sudden intense rain & flooding, along with unexpected hail & frosts during the growing season.
Many of the peaches & apples in this region were not even harvested last year due to a freak hail storm which ruined them in July. I saw it with my own eyes and even managed to film it. Jump to 3.33 on this film to see the intensity of the hail for yourself.
Speaking to a local man who has lived here all his life he explained that it doesn't feel warmer or colder than it did in his childhood, but it does feel as if the seasons are less distinct, with cold days in summer and hot days in winter. Needless to say it only takes one freak frost in summer to ruin your entire crop.
Creating Independence
I will buy a big selection of non GMO seed stocks, most likely from the local farmers who have used the same hardy stocks for generations.
Over the coming years I will learn which weeds around here can be eaten. We are no longer interested in flavour but nutritional content. The great thing about growing nutritious weeds (like stinging nettles) is that people are unlikely to steal them!
We will learn bee-keeping and buy ourselves some chickens.
I am interested particularly in the Icelandic variety which can not only survive the harsh winters but also continue to lay eggs in these cold periods.
Solar power and batteries will be acquired and set up in a place where they are not visible.
I have worked a lot with solar companies and I can tell you that technology has improved massively in recent years and if you are able to run things using a direct current (DC) the efficiency is so much better than the average person's perception of solar power.
We will have a rain-water collection system which uses a natural filter. It is easy to create natural water filters using layers of charcoal, sand and pebbles. If you are interested to learn how this is done, these guys do a pretty good job.
Basic medial supplies will be acquired along with various encyclopaedia type books covering natural medicine, the local flora & fauna, farming techniques and more.
Long lasting material such as denim and other cottons will be acquired, and an old style sewing machine so that we can make our own clothes without the need for electricity.
We may also consider getting some sheep, which are naturally adept at surviving the cold. I can imagine it must be quite fun turning their wool into fabric!
In Conclusion
Studying the UN Migration Pact a month ago I wondered why there appeared to be a concerted effort to push migrants from the warmer parts of Europe into Northern Europe where it is colder. Knowing what I know now I would say it is to increase the effectiveness of the natural planetary culling system.
It is not my intention to scare anyone but rather to trigger you into further thought on this subject. Don't take my word alone. Give it the attention it deserves, do your own research and make your own mind up.
Even mainstream articles on this subject can be found if you look for them:
I would like to remind people that the majority of our modern skills have no value whatsoever in a world in which the system no longer provides the things we currently take for granted, so learning to survive off grid could just be the most important thing you ever do.
I am very grateful to @minismallholding on steemit for alerting me to this subject a month ago. My head has been fully immersed in it since then and now that this article is out of my system I can get back on with enjoying my life... with a few minor adjustments.
Even if you can't see how you could possibly afford to buy land in preparation for what is coming, you would do well to make a list describing your perfect land as I have done. I am a firm believer in Law of Attraction which can gift us everything we need in unexpected ways, as long as you are clear with the Universe about what you want... and don't waste time questioning why it hasn't arrived yet or the way in which it will manifest. Simply know what you want and know it is coming.

Researching this article I came across a number of people who have dedicated their lives to getting this message out, some of whom post regular films on YouTube. While I remain a little sceptical of people who make a living from producing 'fear porn' their information seems well researched.
