That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
Aldous Huxley
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:4
If you have been paying any attention at all, and reading our reports, then you know that the economies all over the world, especially in America where The WinePress is based, are in an economic freefall. There has not be a v-shaped recovery of any kind.
Let it be known, if you do not know already, the greatest depression the world has ever seen has begun. Prior to 2020, nations all over the world were seeing their currencies inflating, sales going down, businesses boarding up, stock market bubbles growing, and so on. And yet the media, politicians, economists, are telling us that things are doing wonderful and there is nothing to fear.
As the above quotes show, one thing men do not learn from history is that men do not learn from history.
In this report, we are going to be sharing some quotations from journal and diary entries from the Great Depression era. The Great Depression officially began in 1929, and technically ended in the early 1940’s. If you google the Great Depression time period, they will tell you it ended in 1933. That is total propaganda, as will be demonstrated in this report. The information presented in this article will never be found in a history textbook.
In this report we will be sharing three videos provided by Neil McCoy-Ward, where he reads off dozens of diary entries of people living in the Great Depression, and what was happening on various fronts.
We URGE you to watch these videos. Put down the video games, put down the tv remote, put down the junk food, put down the whatever, and dedicate some time to watch these.
As you will see in these videos, the parallels of what was happening then and what is happening no is so radically identical, it is rather alarming. Mr. McCoy-Ward does a fantastic job of briefly connecting what was happening then to current events now. Also check out our reports we have done documenting what is going on in the economy at this present time.
We do have to preface one thing, and that is Mr. McCoy-Ward does advocate purchases of silver. The WinePress has an article discussing why this is not a wise decision, and is backed up completely by the scriptures.
In part 1, the entries cover different topics such as the housing market, food supply, unemployment, and other things. Part 2 covers how the banks were collapsing and lying directly to the people, as it was revealed that the government and banks secretly were working together. As the entries go in, and into part 3, the people that once trusted the government, did not anymore. Part 3 covers how the businesses were drying up, particularly the smaller ones. It covers the gold confiscation that occurred, and how those that gave away their gold received devalued and inflated money. The video also reviews the entries of the government propaganda that was deployed in order to convince the masses things were doing fine. The entries also document the rapid increases of crime and violence.
Again, as you watch these videos, think of all that we are seeing in today’s current economies and lifestyles.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The things that were listed in these videos were absolutely eye-opening to me. The things that were mentioned from these diaries were almost never even touched upon in history class. As a matter of fact, the Great Depression was swept under the rug almost entirely and its severity was greatly downplayed.
If you have been reading our reports, then much of what was described in this video aligns with I have been reporting, and other materials WinePress contributors have graciously sent to me.
However, there are still major differences from the late 1920’s to the early 1940’s. The people in those days had a much stronger faith in the Lord. They were leaps and bounds more tougher than the people today. They had real tenacity and grit, the “rub some more dirt on it” mentality. Now we have people that cannot decide their gender on a day-to-day basis. We have people that cannot survive more than five minutes without being on Twitter. We have people that cannot survive without the pharmaceuticals. We have people that are content to live off of government checks for the rest of their lives. We have people that can barely afford to make a tiny savings/emergency fund. We have people that have debt that will never be paid off. We have a nation that has astronomical levels of debt that will never be paid off.
As I have said in other reports, America was born out of rebellion, and it will die in rebellion.
Before The WinePress was created, I was greatly monitoring what the American economy was doing and where it is headed. I can tell you right now, the markets are in such inflated bubbles right now, it makes the Great Recession look like child’s play. When these markets burst, the devastation it will cause will be the final nail in the coffin for the corpse of this nation.
There is a phrase that is used to describe the world, that it is a dog eat dog place. It will be that in the literal sense in the days ahead of us. I for one, do not plan to be the eatee, but the eater – and I do not mean that literally (know that I say that a bit tongue and cheek), but I am making preparations to come out on top and protect myself. As I have said in other reports, you MUST be flexible and wide awake to events going on in the world, so you can prepare accordingly and capitalize on what is taking place.
America is DEAD. If you have not come to that realization by now, I feel sorry you, because you WILL be consumed.
I am not 100% dogmatic on this, but I believe this is what will happen (though this is subject to potentially change based off current events). I believe America will have a “dark winter” (whether it happens in the winter or not is not as relevant). There will be civil war on every street corner in all major cities and spreading out into suburban areas as well, and some rural parts too. It will be war against family, friends, neighbors, gangs, mafias, government agencies, military, you name it. Dog eat dog.
And in the wake of the chaos, other nations will seize the opportunity to takeover and divide the land, most notably, CHINA. China has been building forces and has been training in Canada. China already owns chunks of America’s debt. America is enslaved to China. For sake of argument, if America entered into a war with China today, America would get crushed. Not only do they have the manpower and military might, they are allied with Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan, and others. You also have to consider that America’s allies will not help us, as, if America were to defeat China, what would that do for all the other nation’s economies? America drew the short end of the stick.
I believe this is America’s future. Do not use the “rapture” as bailout and “Get Out of Jail Free” card to not prepare and fight back.
If you do not believe this will happen to America, then you have not read the book of Lamentations.
I pray this has been benefit to you reading this. Get preparing, and lean upon the Lord even more than ever before.
[10] The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. [11] Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. [12] They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom. [13] What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee? [14] Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. [15] All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? [16] All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. [17] The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. [18] Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. [19] Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street. [20] Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? [21] The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied. [22] Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD’S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.Lamentations 2:10-22
[1] Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. [2] Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. [3] We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. [4] We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. [5] Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. [6] We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. [7] Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. [8] Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. [9] We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. [10] Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. [11] They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. [12] Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. [13] They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. [14]The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. [15] The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. [16] The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! [17] For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. [18] Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. [19] Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. [20] Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? [21] Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. [22] But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.Lamentations 5:1-22

This, this and this. People right now are in the coronavirus trance, and some are even “enjoying” staying more time at home being paid for being lazy potatoes, or even delight in their self-righteousness of acting like a “good mask-wearing, (in)justice-abiding, virus-fighting, conspiracy-fact-checking citizen”, but once they see store shelves empty and the markets crash like a bomb, all that will suddenly become the least of their worries.
They will then throw a tantrum to daddy state and be finally and openly destroyed in response. At long last some will then resort to the Lord, but He is and will be very angry and will reject their pleas for their never-ending and serious iniquity. They are playing with fire, if only they knew what the Lord has in store for them if they don’t repent…
Hebrews 10
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Stock up on lead and food. How do you store water?
Excellent article. It’s an eye opener.
