Excerpt -

If you have not stockpiled at least two years of supplies, just stop what you are doing and get on it. Plant a garden if possible. Get chickens. Learn to fish. Notice I have never sold any of the supplies, and rarely even mention models of pro ducts other than a few like Katadyn water filters, or Berkey, but I make no money from that and have no relationships any companies. People often say that I should set up an online store. But that would undermine the message. If I tell you to stock up and then provide a link, the message is undermined.
Most folks smart enough to read my pages have been preparing for a long time. Comparing notes with each other. Searching for holes in their strategies. Some folks even make dry runs by turning off their water and electricity for varying periods in order to find more weaknesses in their plans.

Self defense is vital. We’ve seen 911 is a joke. We are our keeper. A grandmother with a little training can throw some serious self defense downrange.

Later this year we likely will see various governments within the Unites States starting with price controls and increased subsidies. Governments always do this when they are losing control. These policies will exacerbate situations. OGUS will push to make rationing electronic to gain even more control of every aspect of our existence. All the indicators are there.

Stock up thick. The clock is ticking. Conditions are set: 2022 will become serious. 2023 will be a year of starvation in many countries. I do not even see a way out of this. Too much inertia and sabotage. Serious famine creates real pandemic, more war, and HOP — Human Osmotic Pressure — which leads to migrations.

More than 30m Americans could face drinking water crisis as officials find major flaws in US dam

- Pipe damage has been found in the Glen Canyon Dam that feeds Lake Mead
- Officials said there will not be a spring release of water downstream

More than 30 million Americans could be hit with a water shortage after plumbing issues were found with a major US dam that sits on the Colorado River, officials warn.

Inspectors from the US Bureau of Reclamation found serious pipe damage in the Glen Canyon Dam, which means there will be no spring water release - threatening water supplies downstream.

The pipes in question are called the 'river outlet works,' and they're used to release water down the Colorado River to Lake Mead from the penned up Lake Powell.

A fall release has neither been scheduled nor canceled yet, leaving residents of California, Nevada, and Utah who depend on water from Lake Mead without answers for now.

So Vegas residents will only be able to water their yards everyother day and only wash their cars once a week?

For some reason, Sam Kinison screaming about living in a desert sprang to mind reading all this.

With all of the hoopla surrounding the new movie, Civil War, this article is macabrely interesting…


The Actual Civil War Was Also Preceded by Fiction That Imagined, “What if America Had a Civil War?”

The year is 1849. Martin Van Buren has just been sworn in for his fourth term as president. Every state from the Carolinas on south secedes from the Union. The U.S. Army occupies Richmond to keep Virginia from joining them. Separatists take to the western mountains and organize a guerrilla campaign. In Washington, Van Buren assumes dictatorial powers, hangs traitors on a whim. The sons of the Old Dominion have to choose between the Union they have been raised to admire and the state they deeply adore.

An intriguing alternate history? Not quite. The novel in which this story appears flashed forward in time, not back. Well, actually, it did both: Published in 1836 but with a date on the title page of 1856, as if remembering a war that had already occurred, The Partisan Leader: A Tale of the Future didn’t so much relate a different version of the Civil War as prophesy its coming, missing the eventual start date by only a dozen years.

That makes it the little-known granddaddy of a whole subgenre of American literature (and now film): blood-drenched imaginings of what it would be like to witness the crackup of the country. Americans have always been at once horrified and titillated by the prospect of these states becoming disunited. If the U.S. is an “imagined community,” as the anthropologist Benedict Anderson described the modern nation-state, one of the things its citizens most love to imagine is its violent undoing.

Lately, even more so than usual, a profound sense of decline and disintegration has come to define the national mood. How obvious, then, even inevitable, to pair this primordial form of American catastrophism with the evidently deathless genre of big-budget disaster movies. Americans fighting Americans, the country falling apart, the breakdown of civic order—what could be more popcorn-worthy than that?

As a genre, disunion fantasy fiction has often showcased bad politics and even worse art. The hypothetical scenarios of such works tend to be hilariously implausible, the authors’ intentions murky at best—or, sometimes, clearly mercenary. Even in this context, however, Alex Garland’s much-ballyhooed Civil War stands out for its eagerness to exploit popular fears of mass political violence without offering any meaningful reflection on the underlying factors that have led to it. Experience it in IMAX! the promotional poster urges, in a tone that sits uncomfortably with the director’s claim that he made the film as a warning of what could occur if we are not careful. If the past is any guide, such macabre depictions of what Edmund Wilson called “patriotic gore” may only accustom us to the likelihood that it will.

ALPHAWARRIOR  (@xAlphaWarriorx) April 12, 2024

Yep, that’s my sense that this movie is ‘normalizing’ the concept of a modern day civil war as well as extreme political violence and the potential mob assassination of a President, somewhat blurring the lines between fantasy & reality.  It’s a whole lot less shocking if we’ve seen it happen all before, even if it was just in a movie.

Looking back at 2020 and the COVID situation compared to the movie “Contagion”, it’s hard to tell if the movie was so well thought out that it actually predicted a lot of the actions taken during that time or if the movie as a blueprint for our own reactions to the virus, a la real life imitating art.  After all, what did a lot of people do during the lockdowns when they were shut up inside their homes?  They streamed the movie Contagion, thus elevating the fear factor of the virus and minimizing the shock of what was to come later with social requirements, mask mandates & the vaccines.  Hell, clips from the movie were even played during news broadcasts covering COVID at the time.

Call me paranoid, I really don’t give a shit.  Manipulation and the inability to see or understand this is why our side is continuing to lose massively.  Our side is being played by constantly & predictively reacting to the Left’s actions. If the near future involves a devastating cyber attack with the “Leave the World Behind” movie and a civil war with the current movie, I guess we can once again ask if the movies predicted the events of the future or if life simply imitated art once again?

Is there any question that pure Evil does exist in the world?

More foreboding warnings of coming inflation…



The price of gold just hit a new all-time high and that’s NOT a good sign. Plus, the CPI report for March has released and it revealed that inflation rose faster than expected yet again. But of course, the Biden administration is bragging about how gas inflation allegedly went DOWN. Financial expert Carol Roth joins to explain what the gold and CPI news means for your wallet, as well as why the White House’s data is “trash.” Plus, she reveals a new way that small business owners can vent their frustrations to Congress.




We are looking at the world finally awakening to the fact that the US Debt will continue at a hyperinflation print schedule beginning now. Debt interest payments alone are moving from $1.1 Trillion to $1.6 Trillion in the next six months, but in 2025 that will reach $4.5 Trillion. Plus the US needs to issue an additional $10 Trillion in new debt to cover this and pay for government expenditure. The US will never default, but hyperinflate the debt away.

During tough times, will  you be the good guy or the bad guy?




“My plan is to take what you have in a survival situation.” We hear and see comments like that all the time. As humans we’re wired for violence and even well-meaning people, if they only have tools of security, will likely become the “bad guys” they’re supposedly preparing for when hard times become a reality. Josh and Drew breakdown that mindset and discuss how to reprioritize what we’re all building toward.

People need to band together and make "evil" decisions while the power is still on and the water is still running, so that tomorrow and ten and twenty years from now, they will still be running. That's as spicy as I'll get right now.

This.

During bad times you'll just be a survivor.

With roughly 70% of the earths surface covered by water, there is no reason to have the water problems we do. Yes, desalinization is expensive but at what cost to ensure humans have water available.

Correct.  

Weak men make hard times.

Bill Cooper published a book called "Behold a Pale Horse."  About a year later, he gave this interview that reveals some of what he knew and wrote about.  He was murdered 10 years later.

Interesting last line.   What's the difference between civil war and revolution?

Very good video for people who aren’t as far down the path as us.  I’m going to bookmark this for friends and relatives who show an interest in being better prepared.

This is essentially my action vs. reaction argument.  One side having a constant reaction approach and letting the other side dictate the terms is exactly what got us to this point where we are discussing what to do when the lights go out and society break down.

Time is never on the side of those solely with an reactionary approach.

Good vs. Evil.  You described the Good solution to a problem while we see the Evil solution to the problem being planned out to eliminate a huge number of the global population to ensure that Evil survives.

Water rationing in some form has been extant in the U.S. for decades.  Even in water-rich Oklahoma, we have odd and even days for watering your lawn.  California started that in some area, like Silicon Valley for decades.   Now, farmers like Victor Davis Hanson have to purchase trucked in water to keep his avocado orchard alive.

Not yet to the point of rationing drinking water.  But may well see rationing for bathing and laundry.

Since starting this thread, I’ve been directed down some very dark paths that show this is ultimately a battle between Good & Evil and Evil has infiltrated all aspects of government, religion and society that it will eventually overtake Good.

The only conclusion I can make from my observations is that we are now living in that time.

Winners write the history books.

Below is the comment of the former Navy Seal referenced in the video.  While he talks of helping people regardless of political ideology, his comment about taking people’s stuff when things get really bad is a bit disturbing, even if joking.

Inflation ‘out of Fed’s control… — DiMartino Booth via Straight Arrow News

March’s sticky inflation report has thrown into question the timing of the Federal Reserve’s anticipated interest rate cuts. In fact, some have said Americans can’t rule out the Fed going in the opposite direction and hiking the rate instead.

It's because they're heavily vested in the "health crisis" and they'd like to perpetuate it until it's final desired form . The WHO is a big part of that plan . See their upcoming April 18th deadline on the pandemic treaty .


Also;

All you can do is the best you can do,
after that, it's in God's hands.

Take a listen to Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime for predicting future events.

Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes we continuously make is that we artificially support populations in areas where the environment can't. Sending massive amounts of food, medicine, and other support creates a population that is simply too large for the land to support. That's how we get this insane immigration and overly-large world population.

Amen!

Indeed.  It’s all in God’s hands.  

From Amazon -

Operation: Mindcrime is regarded as one of the greatest concept metal albums of all time. The band's 3rd album, originally released in May 1988, is based around Nikki, a recovering drug addict, who becomes disillusioned with a corrupt society and joins a revolutionary group to assassinate political leaders. This new version was remastered at Abbey Road Studios and brings together all the available recordings to tell the story of this remarkable album on 2 CDs.

Interesting.  I even saw Queensryche open for Ratt around this time.  

A lot of what I’m seeing lately is that Northern Africa could be the next big land rush, rich in natural resources and land that is fertile for growing crops.  It’s just been inhabited by tribal countries too focused on fighting each other as well as themselves to get the full use of what they have.  

Russia, China & America all have their hands in proxy wars for control there as well.  In the end, one will rule it all.

EXCLUSIVE: I have obtained a letter that was just sent by the @MPGuatemala_EN Public Ministry of Guatemala to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX.

The Guatemalan government is accusing Texas of harboring tax payer funded NGOs and charities that are kidnapping and trafficking children from Guatemala across the US Southern Border via Mexico.

72% of all unaccompanied minors encountered at the US Southern Border are from Guatemala.

I have translated the letter to English here, but you can see the original letter below:

🚨TRANSLATION 🚨

“To: Attorney General Paxton

It is a pleasure to greet you and wish you success in your daily activities. By higher instructions, I am writing to request, if you consider it appropriate, your immediate attention to a serious situation affecting the Republic of Guatemala. As the Public Ministry, we have received a complaint as a criminal report about a very important and sensitive issue: Our beloved children.

As you know, deficiencies in security and diplomacy related to the border between the United States and Mexico have resulted in a significant increase in drug trafficking, but also a devastating emergence of human trafficking. In relation to the new complaint that has been filed with this institution, a horrifying pattern of disappearance of children from Guatemala has been brought to our attention, and it has been reported to the Public Ministry that a complex network involving Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating within Guatemala, who collaborate with specific entities in the State of Texas, are implicated in the abuse of Guatemalan children when they are away from their parents and do not have someone to protect them.

These Guatemalan children have reportedly been placed in shelters and organizations throughout Texas under the guise of providing them with a family environment. Disturbingly, there have been reports and documented situations of sexual abuse in these shelters, which is a huge violation of the rights and dignity of these children.

The State of Texas bears much of the responsibility for these lost children, who have been transferred to the border and processed migratorily in Texas apparently fully aware of this situation.

Among the non-governmental organizations operating in Guatemala and the State of Texas that may be involved in child trafficking operations, the involvement of "Save the Children," "Changing the Way We Care," the World Childhood Foundation, Arise, and La Unión del Pueblo Entero is concerning. What could be particularly alarming about these organizations is that some of them receive federal funds from American taxpayers. I have been informed that other non-governmental organizations operating in Guatemala and Texas could be accomplices to child trafficking, possibly supporting this trafficking and other issues with unaccompanied children and adolescents traveling, but they have proven unsuccessful in protecting children in Guatemala.

The Public Ministry, obligated to protect the human rights and interests of the inhabitants of the Republic of Guatemala, will spare no effort and exhaust all necessary efforts to locate and criminally prosecute those responsible for this enormous tragedy. Be assured that the Attorney General and Chief of the Public Ministry of the Republic of Guatemala will zealously execute her legal mandate to eradicate this epidemic of child trafficking and to hold those who commit these crimes against humanity accountable.

I respectfully request that you contact us as soon as possible to agree on joint efforts aimed at resolving this humanitarian crisis for which your country is directly responsible in part.

Without further ado, I subscribe with the highest expressions of my consideration and esteem.”

The letter was signed by Guatemala’s Secretary General at the Public ministry.

Philadelphia Pork Heist Has Truckers on Edge

A string of pork thefts are turning truckers' heads. On April 10, more than $12,000 worth of pork was stolen from a tractor-trailer parked overnight in northeast Philadelphia.

Police say that the trucker was sleeping in his cab along Charter Road when he felt a shake as thieves rifled through the trailer. They made off with 56 cases of pork, reports ABC 6 Action News.

According to Truckers News, food and beverages are popular targets for cargo thieves, especially with the high food prices in the U.S. right now.
 
"The thefts are part of a trend. In 2023, more than $130 million worth of cargo was stolen from trucks in the U.S. That was a 57% increase over the year before," Truckers News reports.

The refrigerated trucks make a lot of noise, the police pointed out. This latest cargo theft marks at least 37 reported in Philadelphia this year.

Some truckers are arming themselves with special locks to try to better prevent these problems because authorities are concerned that cargo theft will continue to be a problem this year.

Damn. That has the makings of a shitstorm. And yes, think about what’s happening and how Washington would very likely cover this up. After all, they’re behind this. I guarantee you Paxton knew this letter was coming and is working with Guatemala in uncovering this and making it public. Question is; where are all these kids going?
