So much going on in the world…where do we even start?

We could talk about the sad state of affairs of law enforcement in the US:

1. 6 cops in Mississippi tortured 2 men for almost 2 hours; physically, sexually, and psychologically. And then they plotted on how to cover it up by planting evidence, stealing surveillance video, and coordinating their lies/stories. One cop even put his pistol in the mouth of one of the men and pulled the trigger blowing the man’s tongue off along with part of his mouth…yeah, imagine that. Turns out they have been committing such crimes since 2019. Who were these cops? A group of white LEOs who called themselves “The Goon Squad,” a moniker they adopted because of their willingness to use excessive force.
2. Then there is the 30-year veteran of the Columbus Police Department and his body camera footage. He is serving a search warrant…in the middle of the night. As the cop burst into one bedroom…he shot an unarmed man who was asleep in bed. Oh, and the cop…58 complaints against him over the years, including mostly use of force complaints, and sexual harassment. Great cop, eh!? So why was this guy even a cop?
3. And let’s not forget the Ansonia officer arrested for choking, striking, and kicking an 8-year old child.
4. Bring in the dog…Lansing Police Department’s Violent Crime Impact Team K9 pair who sicked his dog on a man trying to surrender, laying on the ground, broken hip, arms stretched out to the sides. It was then the officer ordered the dog to attack…biting the man in the genitals, buttocks, arms, neck and head and tossed him around like a “rag doll.”

Or, we could talk about cryptocurrency:

1. Such as the missing crypto executive millionaire, 41, found dead and dismembered in suitcase in Argentina.
2. Tiantian Kullander, 30, the co-founder of Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency company Amber Group, mysteriously died in his sleep.
3. And those are just a couple of a huge list of high-profile cryptocurrency folks who have “died” since 2014.
4. But let’s hit the really well known criminals…a husband and wife cyber-crime team have pleaded guilty to stealing and trying to launder $4.5billion of Bitcoin. Gee, anyone wonder what happened to all those folks whose Bitcoin was stolen from? Isn’t Bitcoin supposed to be used by God himself because it is such a good thing?
5. Then there was the $600million of crypto stolen through Poly Network by hackers.
6. Not to be outdone…6000 Coinbase customers had their crypto stolen.
7. Let’s not forget $326million of Ethereum tokens from a blockchain bridge. Whoa…thought ‘blockchain’ was supposed to be 100% safe and secure and the wave of the future!?
8. Then there is the Saratoga resident who lost $1.3 million in cryptocurrency from his ‘secure’ digital wallet.

Hey there, let’s talk about the Biden crime family and how it is now absolute 100% fact that Hunter Biden was the front man for a criminal enterprise headed up by his father. Yup, good ole pervert Joe Biden is an actual criminal and that is a fact. Wait, why talk about something that is old news…news that is well-known from decades ago!

Or we could talk about:

1. Hollywood & politician pedophilia…and how Jeffery Epstein ran a ‘honey pot’ operation for the CIA & FBI. Nahhhh, that is proven to be absolute fact and years old information.
2. We could talk about how the DOJ & FBI have been weaponized by the US federal government are now deadly tools of the Democrats and authoritarians destroying the USA. Nope…old news.
3. One of the world’s top hedge fund titans who’s been watching for ‘black swans’ for decades says the ‘greatest credit bubble in human history’ is set to pop. Well, I’ve been writing about credit/debt problems for a couple years now…boring!
4. Or, how about the US government’s credit rating downgraded. Nope, once again…you have been reading about that eventuality here for a very long time…boring!
5. Here’s one for you…Lori Daybell sentenced to life in prison for killing children. Wait, that might strike a little close to home for some folks who vehemently defended her…and had a financial/business partnership with her and her killer husband.
6. How about…Artificial intelligence and how it will kill off humanity. Dang…wrote about that one for years as well.
7. Here we go…how about several of the largest US banks willingly giving the US government’s FDIC billions and billions to makeup for the huge shortfall after Joe ‘sniffer-licker’ Biden gave it all away…illegally. Gee, I wonder why those banks would so willingly give billions to the US government?

Have I bored you to death yet…or do you get my point?

There is so much going on in the country and the world that it would be easy to spend hours and hours every day just trying to stay up on all of the current events. And then there is the mental health aspect. Reading, pondering, and getting tied-up in knots over all of that crap could drive your brain and spirit right into the morass of depression! But, hang on…another point is on the way.

How many hours a day do you spend on prepper websites? And especially if they are the social media style prepper websites? You know, the ones with dozens of articles everyday and lots of discussion threads about everything under the sun…how much time do you spend on those sites?

Here is my true point…how much time do you spend each day…or each week…actually doing something that is prepping? Yup, do you spend your time reading and commenting and worrying and arguing and discussing and responding that could otherwise be spent doing something a little more constructive?

By more constructive I mean something along the lines of:

• Planning
• Inventorying your supplies for weak spots
• Gardening, preserving, canning, dehydrating
• Learning a new skill or practicing an existing skill
• Fixing your broken generator
• Organizing your pantry or gun safe
• Charging your radio batteries
• Reloading some ammo
• Creating menus from your stock of long-term freeze dried food
• Getting a part-time job to buy more preps
• Joining or organizing a Neighborhood Watch program
• Taking your family camping and practicing some prepper skills
• Having a garage/yard sale to raise money to buy some much needed prep supplies
• Start, or perfect, a family budget to get out of debt

I have become really concerned lately after talking to a number of folks and conferring with some other prepper site operators. I am starting to see a trend…a not-so-good trend. People are waking up, talking about, and voicing concerns regarding the need for preparing for what is coming. But, many people are doing very, very little about actual preparing for those events.

And worse yet…I am seeing more and more folks getting sucked into the abyss of social media, especially prepper social media, where HUGE amounts of time are spent each day getting sucked into discussions that are not worth the time or effort in any way whatsoever.

And lastly…the ‘sensationalism’ articles. There is a truly disturbing trend of the popularity of sensationalist prepper articles getting 10 – 20 times, sometimes more, the readership/viewership of more concrete and informative practical prepper articles.

I hope that you my friends are not in this boat that I speak of wasting valuable time, effort, and resources. I pray that you are focused on the important aspects of life and prepping. It is my desire that you are not caught up in crap that steals you away from what is important. Now is the time to focus and do!

The time is getting short.
