Well, Seraphim, I haven't visited this topic in a long time. Saw Vogt's videos a good while back, but got sidetracked. This video by Ben is excellent. Thanks for posting it.

I actually had a rather long reply typed out, and just after proof reading it I hit a wrong key and deleted the whole damn thing. Sigh...

I'm too sleepy now to try to recreate the post. So, the short answer is yes, I think we are very close to seeing a contrived catastrophe by TPTB. The plandemic hasn't worked exactly as they hoped, so maybe the wolcano, or some other major event they can help along or maybe even fake altogether will knock everyone for a loop. It will be part of the over-all plan to reduce the population, clear the surface so to speak. Don't know what criterias they will use, but I am confident they have them all planned out. And the useful survivors (as determined by TPTB) will be herded into the DUMBS and underground cities that have been prepared, in anticipation of the survival of at least some of TPTB and the slaves they will use to keep them alive for the new world they intend to control.

I got into prepping about 20 years ago, when I found a website called Great Anomaly, or something like that. And found a lot of the theories about the sun being the civilization killer. Seems I've come full circle. Guess I better get back into my research, if only because I truly believe we are headed for that 12,000 year catastrophe, in the near future!

I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone else joins the conversation. Good information!!!
