SignsWatch returns in a new form.

What began as short daily summaries and voice notes gradually evolved into something much larger: a live analysis system designed to help make sense of overwhelming amounts of information from around the world.

In this opening episode of Series 03, Michael explains why the original daily podcast production was paused after more than one thousand episodes — and how SignsWatch quietly transformed into an analysis-first platform focused not just on reporting events, but helping people understand their significance.

This episode explores: • the origins of SignsWatch • information overload and “the bigger picture” • why Signals are grouped, scored and prioritised • how the SignsWatch dashboard works • the difference between information and understanding • why only some stories rise to the surface for deeper analysis

Series 03 will focus on selected high-priority Signals and deeper briefings drawn from the SignsWatch system.

Information is everywhere • Understanding is not.

Private credit markdowns are beginning, similar to the 2008 financial crisis. This could lead to a shakeout in the industry, with weaker firms disappearing and potentially trillions of dollars in losses for investors. The situation is exacerbated by the illiquidity of private credit funds and the potential for contagion effects.

A World Bank insider accidentally revealed BlackRock’s plan for a global asset registry, which would track all assets and enable taxation on savings. This aligns with the IMF’s push for a new economic reset, similar to the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement, to address issues like low productivity and climate change. The video suggests this reset will involve a new global currency and the tokenisation of all assets, potentially leading to increased taxation and wealth redistribution.

The rollout of digital IDs and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) is accelerating, with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) developing a cross-border settlement platform called Mbridge. This infrastructure, combined with the push for pseudonymity on social media, raises concerns about government control and the potential for asset freezing. The author emphasises the importance of self-custody of Bitcoin and recommends seeking guidance from Blockware and The Bitcoin Way.

Multiple volcanoes erupted in Southeast Asia, including Canloa and Mayon in the Philippines and Lutobo, Seamaru, and Morappi in Indonesia. These eruptions occurred shortly after a G2 geomagnetic storm, suggesting a possible connection between solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The increased volcanic activity, particularly along the Ring of Fire, warrants close monitoring.

The FBI has issued a high alert for potential attacks on US soil, citing concerns about Iranian sleeper cells and lone wolf attacks. This comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with Iran refusing to engage in peace talks and receiving military support from Russia and China. The alert follows a series of terrorist attacks in the US, including incidents in Houston, Tampa, and Austin.

The FBI is focussing on identifying individuals close to taking violent action, as much of the radicalisation process happens internally. The highly polarised environment contributes to this, as dehumanisation of those with differing viewpoints justifies violent actions. The FBI emphasises the importance of public vigilance, encouraging people to be “eyes and ears” and report suspicious behaviour, while also taking personal safety precautions.

The United States is on high alert for potential attacks, particularly from Iran, who are threatening both physical and cyber attacks. Iranian hackers have already targeted American companies like Striker, a medical device company, and are now targeting major tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. The CEO of Armadin, Kevin Mandia, warns that the age of AI is emerging rapidly and that companies need to prepare for more effective and autonomous cyber attacks.

The threat of cyber attacks against the United States has escalated, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. While the Iranian foreign minister has stated they are not seeking peace, the Congressman emphasises the need for robust counterterrorism efforts and highlights concerns about the impact of the war on US security. He also stresses the importance of funding for DHS, excluding ICE, and criticises the administration’s approach to the conflict with Iran.

Law enforcement agencies are increasing patrols and utilising intelligence to protect potential targets, particularly those associated with the Jewish community, amidst heightened security threats. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Arachi, stated that Iran is not seeking negotiations with the US, despite President Trump’s claims, and is prepared to defend itself. The conflict, according to Arachi, is a “war of choice” by the US and will continue until President Trump acknowledges its illegality.

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragchi, stated that Iran is not seeking a ceasefire or negotiations with the US, as they believe the conflict is an illegal war of choice by President Trump. He asserted that Iran is only defending itself and targeting American assets, not civilian areas. Aragchi also addressed concerns about Iran’s nuclear material, stating it is under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and that Iran is open to negotiations regarding safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Foreign Minister, speaking via Zoom, stated that Iran has no plans for talks with the US and is issuing threats against US bases and soil. The US, in response, has targeted Iranian military sites and threatened further action, including against Iran’s oil infrastructure. Iran demands an end to US and Israeli strikes before considering ceasefire talks.

Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation, is using civilian areas in Lebanon as bases, complicating Israeli military operations. The US is pushing for Iran to come to the negotiating table, but Iran is refusing until strikes stop. Meanwhile, a partial government shutdown in the US is impacting DHS funding, raising concerns about national security and causing travel disruptions.

The video discusses recent events in Jerusalem, including missile strikes near the Temple Mount, a site sacred to both Jews and Muslims. The strikes have heightened concerns about potential religious conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s comments about the eventual return of the Messiah have sparked debate, with some interpreting them as a reference to the rebuilding of the temple and the start of the messianic era.

The text discusses the potential connection between scientific observations of earthquakes and cracks in the Mount of Olives and biblical prophecies of the end times. It highlights the increasing frequency of earthquakes worldwide and the recent missile attacks near Jerusalem’s sacred sites, prompting questions about whether these events are random or part of a larger, prophetic plan. The text emphasises the significance of Jerusalem’s history and its role in religious and geopolitical conflicts.

The ongoing conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has escalated, with Iran striking UK military bases in Cyprus and the UK authorising the US to use its bases in response. This has led to fears of global energy market disruption and rising gas prices. Additionally, a swarm of locusts, seen as a biblical symbol of divine judgement, is consuming crops and moving towards America and Europe, further fuelling concerns about the fulfilment of prophecies.

A violent hail storm, followed by powerful thunder and lightning, struck Jerusalem, leaving many unsettled. Witnesses claimed to see a radiant figure of Jesus surrounded by angels in the sky, sparking widespread speculation and questions about the meaning of this celestial event amidst global uncertainty and the ongoing Israel-Iran war. The storm, described as ancient in its power, has led some to draw parallels with biblical descriptions of divine intervention.

Following a powerful storm, relentless rainfall led to widespread flooding in a region already experiencing military activity. Witnesses reported seeing a luminous figure hovering above the Dome of the Rock, sparking speculation about its meaning. Simultaneously, strange, deep metallic sounds echoed through several cities, leaving residents puzzled and prompting comparisons to biblical prophecies.

Jerusalem, sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims, is at the centre of a conflict between Israel and the US against Iran. The conflict, a new phase in an ongoing struggle, aims to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and destabilising the region. While the legality of the military campaign is debated, the focus remains on the potential consequences for global energy markets and the broader implications for international law and morality.

International law provides guidelines for political action but is not a detailed prescription for foreign policy. The war in Iran, potentially aimed at countering China’s influence, raises concerns about the lack of a clear strategy for regime change and the potential for instability. The recent storm in Jerusalem, characterised by sudden darkness and strong winds, sparked speculation about its cause, with some attributing it to military activity in the region.

A storm over Jerusalem intensified, bringing unusual glowing lights and a chaotic display of lightning and missile trails. The storm then unleashed powerful winds, heavy rain, and flooding, causing damage and disrupting the city. Witnesses described the scene as surreal, with natural forces and human conflict intertwined.

Jerusalem faced a severe storm, causing widespread flooding and prompting rescue efforts. As the rain continued, a hailstorm hit, damaging cars and buildings, and forcing people to seek shelter. The storm’s intensity and the combination of rain, hail, and strong winds created a dangerous and chaotic situation.

The video explores the significance of the Essene calendar, preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and its potential connection to biblical prophecy. It highlights the upcoming final Jubilee cycle on March 18th, 2026, according to this calendar, and its potential implications for the end times. The video also delves into the historical accuracy of the Essene calendar, citing its successful prediction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 is interpreted as the fulfilment of Daniel 12:4, where knowledge would be increased as people searched the scriptures. This event is also seen as the beginning of the “time of the end,” as described in Isaiah 29, marking the return of the Jewish people to their land and the uncovering of ancient texts. This interpretation, connecting the scrolls’ discovery to the end times, has historical precedent dating back to the early church father Irenaeus.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, containing prophecies from Isaiah and Daniel, were discovered and brought into Jewish hands at the exact moment Israel declared independence in 1948. This event aligns with biblical prophecies about the unsealing of ancient writings and the restoration of Israel, suggesting a prophetic significance to the scrolls and the calendar they contain. The speaker emphasises the importance of recognising the signs of the times and being aware of the potential significance of the year 2026, based on the accuracy of the Essen calendar.

The video discusses the signs of the times, suggesting that the Rapture is imminent and the Tribulation period is approaching. It highlights various global events, including the formation of a one-world government, the rise of anti-Semitism, and the increasing influence of Islam in Europe, as evidence of this. The video emphasises the importance of salvation through Jesus Christ and urges viewers to share the message with others.

The US government announced a $10 million reward for information on Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Moaba Kmeni. This is part of a military campaign against Iran, with the US seeking information on Kmeni and his inner circle. The speaker also discusses increasing anti-Semitism, terror attacks, and economic jihad, linking these events to biblical prophecies and the potential for the Abraham Accords to expand and confirm a covenant.

The Bible predicts the Antichrist will confirm a covenant with Israel for seven years, stopping sacrifices in the middle of the tribulation. Current events, including Iran’s threats to UAE ports and the ongoing war, are seen as signs of the end times. While Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz poses a threat, it is unlikely to succeed due to limited resources and potential retaliation from the US and its allies.

France has proposed a peace deal requiring Lebanon to recognise Israel and disarm Hezbollah in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories. The proposal aims to end the state of war and facilitate peace talks within a month. The situation is further complicated by reports of armed Sharia vigilantes patrolling Manchester streets, raising concerns about the rise of Islamic influence in the UK.
