“Worst Has Yet to Come”

We are back safe from Montana!  What an awesome trip!  Being off the grid while staring at the Montana night sky makes me realize that there are some people out in the sticks who have no idea what Iran, Israel and Russia are even up to!  They have solar panels and gardens and it’s an hour drive one way to get milk...and they love it that way!  Certainly you appreciate the glory of God while you tour through Glacier Park and are amazed at His creation.  And then you think about the New Creation coming and that it will be even more amazing!

But there can be no doubt that the world is going through birth pangs.  The news of a collapsing world didn’t stop while we were gone.

Making sense of the impending global turmoil is Verisk Maplecroft, a UK-based risk consulting and intelligence firm. They have just published an updated version of the Civil Unrest Index (CUI), covering seven years of data, showing the last quarter saw the most countries ever since the index was created move higher in civil unrest risks (101 of the 198 countries tracked by the firm saw increased risks of civil unrest, while only 42 experienced reduced risks).

"The impact is evident across the globe, with popular discontent over rising living costs emerging on the streets of developed and emerging markets alike, stretching from the EU, Sri Lanka, Peru to Kenya, Ecuador, and Iran, " Verisk wrote in the report, adding conditions are worsening as the frequency of protests and labor strikes could accelerate into fall. 

 "Although there have been several high-profile and large-scale protests during the first half of 2022, the worst is undoubtedly yet to come," the firm warned.

Verisk noted Algeria has the highest likelihood of projected civil unrest over the next half year because of rising inflation. Other areas include Europe, mainly due to energy hyperinflation decimating household finances.

"Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, and Ukraine are all among the states with the biggest projected increases in risk," the report said.
