It's a mess! From the beginning of birth pangs to seismic convulsive seizures. It's not right—Both sides of the pond are burning up: A World Where Time Appears To Be Accelerating Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: Trump has amassed staggering wealth in the ‘most corrupt’ presidency in modern times. World leaders are acting rather strangely

Timelpase del eclipse solar de agosto de 2026 en Logroño

From the beginning of birth pangs to seismic convulsive seizures.  The 96% Solar Eclipse filmed on Wednesday evening 12/8/2026 by my daughter and son-in-law on the West Coast of Holland . . . The last time I saw anything like this was 27 years ago in Northern Spain. Yesterday I got lucky again . . .

A seven-month sabbatical from commentary may not seem like a long time to many of you; however, we are living in truly unprecedented times. I have been away for a while, but the change I've seen is like reading a whole chapter of Biblical Prophecy unfolding before my eyes. In the time I was away, I have seen nations rise against nations, and an increase in wars and rumours of wars, signs and wonders in the heavens and earthquakes in diverse places

Behold A Pale Horse

I have seen an escalation of violence from the four horses of the apocalypse, with the conqueror on the white horse being especially busy. 

The red horse with the big sword symbolising war and bloodshed has been working overtime . . .

The third horse, the black one representing famine, is also extremely busy with prices of everything, everywhere going through the roof.

And the sickly horse, "BEHOLD A PALE HORSE", is working away in all ways possible to be the bringer of death—mostly through pestilence.

Only 8 survived the flood!

Of course we don't know when the end times will arrive; apparently they will get much worse than they are now. Jesus said the end times will be much worse than the times of Noah, which is kind of worrying when you realise only eight people and lots of animals survived the flood. 

World leaders are acting rather strangely and making extreme fantasy decisions.

In just seven months I have witnessed a world where the clock appears to be accelerating faster than a speeding bullet, and where world events are extremely unpredictable and frighteningly dangerous. World leaders are acting rather strangely and making extreme fantasy decisions. (Have they gone mad?) Our planet is changing too, both geophysically and politically, socially and environmentally; every hour of every day the birth pangs accelerate. Breaking News is breaking briefly before the next hyper-link arrives.

Quakes in diverse places

Even as I type this post, an extremely powerful Magnitude 7.4 quake - 5 km S of San José del Palmar- has just rocked Colombia, with the Governor claiming the situation is critical. Major quakes happen all the time; I understand that, however, this is the third Mag 7+ in this area in the last couple of months, which is unusual. The major quake has been recorded close to the country's massive Purace volcano, which is currently spewing ash hundreds of metres into the Colombian sky. Colombia is also suffering from extreme drought conditions this year too—prayers for the people there. 

Volcanic activity, in my experience, is at the moment showing unprecedented volatility, with around "SIXTY" volcanoes erupting or showing activity worldwide; see the picture above. I'm not an expert, but I can't ever remember these types of numbers in my eighteen years blogging. Let me tell you, the eruption count around the world is mostly around 40. So, just like the major quakes, volcanic activity is very active and inclining upward.

As for major quakes (MAG 6 OR HIGHER), don't let the so-called 'experts' pull the wool over your eyes; they are at an all-time high!

This year so far, 88 major quakes, mag 6 or higher, have been recorded. In the same period in 2020, 74 major quakes had been recorded. In the same period 100 years ago, 65 and in 1900, just 7. Of course, we do have to take modern technology into account, but even so! 

Burn Baby Burn

Here on the West Coast of Europe, along with the UK and Ireland, yet another heatwave is on its way. By Thursday, temps could well be hovering around 40 deg C, 104 deg F in the UK, Holland, France and Spain. HIGH STRANGENESS! For many in this year in the area, this will be the 5th heatwave this summer in just the last month and a bit. Many parts of Western Europe have now gone well over a month without any significant rainfall. Two-thirds of England is now under drought conditions, with conditions set to worsen. All the countries mentioned above have been on fire for weeks in scenes I have never seen before. One would expect France and Spain to burn, but Ireland, the UK and Holland? No, this is a new phenomenon. For me, in 18 years reporting the weather, this is unprecedented. Canada is burning too, Greece and Italy, and of course, the California season is yet to begin.

Meanwhile, El Niño is responsible for record-breaking sea temperatures. The average sea surface temperature (SST) outside the world's polar regions - between 60 degrees north and 60 degrees south - was 20.96C last month, beating the previous high of 20.89C, set in 2023.

Last month was the joint second-warmest July globally on record, with temperatures 1.47C above the estimated pre-industrial average, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. South Korea has just reported temperatures nearing 45 deg C, 113 deg F.

Say it ain't so, Don

And while most people are finding paying for stuff very hard at the moment, Donald Trump has amassed staggering wealth in the ‘most openly corrupt’ presidency in modern times. Ethics experts and Democrats express alarm as Trump uses office to grow his personal fortune to an ‘unprecedented’ level. Full story
