Where have I been?

Posted on by
It’s been over 4 weeks since my last post…and no, I haven’t been on vacation. Actually I’ve been working my tail off. Lots of work to do around here preparing for winter and helping out some neighbors. And yes, I’ve been doing research and studying current events as well…because “it” is coming closer every single day. The only thing that has me in front of the keyboard today to some really stiff wind outside and just didn’t want to be out in it. I really enjoyed the weeks long break from the intense time I put into the website. The number one change that occurred…I started sleeping really well and for 8 hours a night. My wife’s alarm woke me up more than once in the last two weeks! And that simply hasn’t happened in 20 years other than a couple of times when I was sick. Since the majority of my time was spent doing roofing, tractor work, firewood cutting, strawberry raised bed building, splitting neighbor’s firewood, and a paying odd job or two I had plenty of time to think about life in general…my life. Interestingly I came to pondering a couple of questions related to the website; 1) How effective is my website in helping people? 2) What more could I possibly do to help website visitors prepare for the calamities that are coming? The answer to #1 was ironically pretty clear…there is no answer to that one. There have been folks who have contacted me and said the website was helpful and they appreciated it. But those numbers have been few. Which is of no surprise based on how folks use the Internet. The best, absolute best, was the family who contacted me and told me they joined the Church through finding and reading my website over a period of months. That was totally and completely worth every minute I’ve spent at the keyboard. The answer to #2 went unanswered. Well, maybe not…but maybe. You see I can’t come up with any single article that I could write that would help someone prepare that I haven’t already written. I have written about food storage, water filtration/storage, medical/first aid, self-defense, Situational Awareness, and tons more. I have written about current events, past events, future events, and I’ve exposed people. I just don’t know what else to write about. I could write about the Gaza/Israeli War…but if you have been following my website for any time now you would know my view…it is an extension of the Ukraine/Russia War…that is turning it all into a wider World War III. But let us not forget…in January 2016 President Obama transferred almost $2billion to Iran, hundreds of millions of that in pallets of cash via planes. Vice-President Biden was in charge of overseeing that operation. Right after that payment to Iran Hamas began a 6-month long war of relentless rocket attacks on Israel. Then last month Biden released $6billion dollars to Iran…and then Hamas strikes Israel one month later. But the ties don’t stop there. Obama’s 2016 payment of nearly $2billion to Iran was at the same time Obama’s agreement with Iran went into effect. The agreement…a timeline to allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Oh, and don’t forget that Iranian civilian and military leadership started talking about “wiping Israel off the map” ten years earlier. Obama’s plan would ensure Iran’s capability to do so. President Trump scrapped the Iranian nuclear deal in 2018. But, in 2022 President Biden restored the Iranian nuclear deal ensuring Iran to have a nuclear weapons program once again. Earlier this year Iran displayed it’s own designed and built ballistic missile…capable of delivering a nuclear warhead. On the side of the missile was painted “Death to Israel”. Then came the $6billion Biden-Iranian funds deal last month. And then on Saturday came the Hamas attack on Israel. These events are not coincidence, they are not isolated, they are not disconnected…they are purposeful and intentional. But there are more events involved…US military retreat from Afghanistan (Iranian ally) leaving behind 10’s of billions of dollars of military equipment in the hands of radical Islamists…who just happen to help support, train, and arm Hamas. Then there is Biden who purposely and intentionally degraded the US’s ability to provide fuel to the US military by depleting the US strategic oil reserve and also seriously degrading the ability of the US to produce and refine its own oil and gas. Let’s give Biden some more credit…Russia invaded Ukraine and started that war in February 2022…after Biden ‘green-lighted’ that action to Putin on January 18, 2022. The US has poured well over $100billion of military aid into Ukraine hands…exhausting vast stockpiles of US military equipment and munitions. Yup, to the point that is is now estimated that it will take at least 7 years, maybe more, to replace all the equipment and munitions given to Ukraine up to this point. In 2021 the US military failed to meet National Guard and reserve recruitment goals. In 2022 the US military fell far short of its recruitment goals…the US Army fell short by 60%! Then this year the problem is being referred to as “Recruiting Crisis in the Armed Services”. Add to that an historic high in active duty military suicide rate. There is also the statistic that a US military veteran commits suicide every hour in the US. In 2022 the US Congress began investigating the rise in “woke” training (diversity, inclusion, and transgender) vs actual military readiness training. Seems that US military leadership is just as worried about encouraging transgender surgery as its ability to fight wars. Interesting to note that Biden became Commander In Chief in 2021. Are you seeing the big picture clarify yet? Let’s remember that I have been telling you for years that the plan is to induce total chaos, anarchy, and panic…horrifying terror really, among the world’s population…and specifically here in the US and western world. Then people would plead and beg for a solution and relief from all of it. And that is when the world’s controlling elites would put forward their plan…and transition everything. Some call it the “great reset” but that is only part of it. What do you think happens then? These are not isolated events…they are intentional, planned, by design, and specific in nature and purpose. Simply put…this is a battle of good vs evil…and right now evil is winning…BIG TIME! The horrific attack of Hamas against Israel is a part of that plan…and it worked. Israel has responded to the attack on their country…as they should. So let’s bring this into perspective on how far Israel’s response should go… As of this morning, reliable Israeli figures are:
  • 1,100 dead
  • 2,600 injured
  • 48 kidnapped
Israel is a country of 9,000,000 people. Bringing that home to the US (326,000,000 people) the US numbers would be:
  • 40,000 dead
  • 94,000 injured
  • 1,700 kidnapped
How do you think that we, the US, would respond to that? How far would be go?

Israel didn’t suffer a “9/11” as many have said…their losses were 36 times greater in relative terms!!

Think about it…we invaded and destroyed two countries, killed hundreds of thousands of people (men, women, children, and babies) after 9/11. What do you think Israel should and will do? Honestly, its totally their business what they do. So here was the plan…Iran armed, trained, and funded Hamas to attack Israel. Iran knew what the Israeli response would be. And any thinking person knows what the worldwide outcry would/will be as Israel responds. Hell, whack jobs in the US are already condemning Israel…for their response and for Israel causing the attack to begin with! How unbelievably stupid and crazy is that!? So the Iranian plan worked, but they are not alone…they are close allies with Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey, Afghanistan, etc. Let’s hit another point to ponder…Why did the CIA and NSA stay quiet about the Hamas attack, why didn’t they warn Israel? Don’t think for a minute that they, along with the US State Department, didn’t know it was coming! Doubt me? Let’s test it…if the CIA and NSA didn’t know it wasn’t coming then they are a complete and total bunch of failures in every possible aspect. Strange…it is amazing how competent they are with some things…but a complete and total failure here. Strange don’t you think? And really strange when you think that those same agencies work for the same government that just last month released $6,000,000,000 to the country that organized, trained, funded, armed, and authorized the attack against Israel. Strange! Oh, just like they did back in 2016. Strange! But why write all of this…especially when you probably already know all this? I have no earthly idea. I wanted to write about the October 4th FEMA test. That day I left my phone on, heard the test warning, cleared it off my phone, and went back to splitting firewood for my neighbor. See there are folks who thought all kinds of crazy things would happen. The most bizarre I heard was the tone would activate the nano-robots and/or chemicals that were in the COVID vaccine. Turning vaccinated people into Zombies or something. Holy Crap! Have people lost their minds that far? Have people gone that bat-shit crazy with bullshit social media information? Yup! You see, all those people who wasted untold number of hours, probably millions, weren’t doing anything productive. Those people could have been learning valuable first aid skills on YouTube, reading gardening books to grow food to feed their families, maybe even gone tot he range for useful training. There are a hundred other things they could have been doing…productive, informative, relative, smart. But nope, they wasted a bunch of their life going down a rabbit hole that was absolutely worthless…or worse. I think I am at the point where I don’t want to write to the level of dumb asses out there. There is no helping them, they are stuck in and comfortable with rabbit holes…trash that is of no value whatsoever. So what will I write about going forward? I have no idea…maybe just whatever hits me as important and useful. But I assure you…gone are the days where I try to inform or save the “dumb ass” category of so-called preppers. There are plenty of websites that will cater to that lobotomized group. OK, some are sincere and decent folks…I am just fed-up craziness and websites that promote it. Folks, times are insane and dangerous…you know that. You and I also know that time is growing short, very short. Please focus on only those things that are important and will actually help you in the long run; 1) developing and strengthening spirituality and principles, 2) mental preparedness (skills), 3) physical preparedness. I can not stress enough how important this is! I am going to include a ‘feedback form’…use it to tell me anything you want, request anything you want, complain about anything you want…anything at all. Maybe think about it in terms of the two question I asked myself earlier; 1) How effective is my website in helping people? 2) What more could I possibly do to help website visitors prepare for the calamities that are coming? I want to hear from you. And please enjoy your week!
Contact me and let me know and let me know what you are thinking…

Thank you for your response. ✨

New Mexico Gun Ban (follow-up, facts, Satan, & Petri dish)

Posted on by

Let’s be realistic and honest…Albuquerque, NM is a cesspool of drugs and all forms of crime. Criminal activity is rampant and out of control. Homicides, property crimes, assaults, drug related crimes all out-pace national averages by a wide margin. Yup, crime is a real and uncontrolled problem in Albuquerque…and surrounding Bernalillo County.

In response Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declared it a “crisis” and further declared a “public health emergency” thinking it gave her absolute dictatorship authority to suspend Constitutional rights. And she did so earlier this month by banning Constitutional rights under the 2nd Amendment. Her so-called logic…making it illegal for law-abiding citizens to conceal carry or open carry a firearm would solve the crisis. Uh huh.

I already addressed that moronic debacle in a previous post…basically she is both an idiot and delusional…and controlled by George Soros. The banning of Constitutional rights was not going to go unchallenged and there was never a doubt that she would lose. That wasn’t the point at all, nor the subject of this post.

I agree with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham that there is a crisis and there is an emergency with both violence and crime in Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County. The facts validate and verify that this is absolutely 100% true…there is no doubt of it…period. The real question is “Why?” Yup, why is there so much crime and violence in Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County?

Let’s review facts shall we…

I always say, look at leadership first; fish rot from the head down. So here are some details and hardcore facts:

  • New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist)
  • New Mexico Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales, (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist)
  • New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist)
  • New Mexico State Legislature Speaker Of The House Javier Martínez, (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist)
  • New Mexico State Legislature President Pro Tempore Mimi Stewart, (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist)

Do you find that interesting…all of the New Mexico state leadership is Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist.

Now let’s talk about the city of Albuquerque:

  • Albuquerque Mayor Timothy M. Keller
  • Albuquerque City Council President Isaac Benton
  • Albuquerque City Council (almost all)
  • Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina
  • Albuquerque Superintendent of Police Reform Victor E. Valdez

Guess what…virtually all of the leadership of Albuquerque are Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists.

But, let’s not forget Bernalillo County and their leadership:

  • County Commission – 80%
  • County Sheriff
  • County Assessor
  • County Clerk
  • County Treasurer
  • County Probate Judge

You guessed it right…all Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists. And State Legislators from Bernalillo County – 83% Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist.

Now, let’s talk “law enforcement” shall we?

Albuquerque Police Department (APD) is staffed by 1000 officers (30% understaffed). A recent DOJ report came out identifying APD having a “corrupt and violent culture.” A recent poll found that only 42% of city residents trusted police. In 2015 the DOJ released a report, the DOJ concluded that the APD had a “culture of acceptance of the use of excessive force”, not justified by the circumstances, which undervalued civilian safety, discounted the importance of crisis intervention, and caused significant harm or injury to people who posed no threat. The report also found that APD engaged “in a pattern or practice of violating residents’ Fourth Amendment rights” and of using deadly force “in an unconstitutional manner.” The SWAT unit was explicitly cited by the DOJ for its abuse of power.

APD’s investigative division is the smallest of all APD units…including smaller in numbers than their traffic cops. As a result of APD’s utter and complete failure…the overall crime rate in Albuquerque is 53% higher than the U.S. average.

One last little tidbit of information; Bernalillo County voting Preferences; 2020 Joe Biden, 2016 Hillary Clinton, 2012 Barack Obama, 2008 Barack Obama. And they are? Yup, once again…all Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists.

So who votes in all these elections putting all these Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists in office? The people. And who is screwing up Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County? These duly elected Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists politicians plus out-of-control police and Sheriff’s departments who are the epitome of authoritarian police but completely inept at solving crime. Interesting.

Now, before you go there…I am NOT saying that electing Republican politicians is the answer…hell no! Republicans have proven themselves fully capable of being just as corrupt, inept, pathetic, and authoritarian as Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxists. What I am saying is the facts speak for themselves in Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County…plain and obvious.

So what is the underlying problem and solution? The underlying problem is the pervasive culture of tolerance for crime and violence…and authoritarianism. Well, that and pure utter stupidity on the part of the electorate. That makes the public susceptible to incompetent/inept leadership and policing. So what does that leave for a solution? Nothing really.

Yeah, kind of a bummer, eh? All this pontificating of mine and no easy solution…but there is a solution but most folks won’t like it. But here it is if you are interested, just a good start:

  • Return to Constitutional principles…100%!
  • Complete and total revamping of the local educational system. Returning to the basics of reading, math, history, science, civics, and critical thinking. But, a HUGE emphasis on, and promotion of, private schools and homeschooling. And instituting the concept of…no place for unions in the government education system.
  • 3600 focus on personal responsibility of citizens.
  • Instituting the stunning God-given right to defend life and property by the individual and family.
  • The destruction of the local police and Sheriff’s departments. Rebuild them with a total focus on solving crime; violent crime first, then property crime. Institute my 2-year officer training model.
  • A complete overhaul of the state justice system. Murderers and violent criminals (rapists, child abusers, etc.) find themselves at the end of the rope within 90 – 180 days of their capture (yes after being found guilty at a trial). Don’t worry about property criminals so much…most of them will be shot and killed by good law-abiding, gun-toting citizens…hopefully.
  • Identification of violent gangs and cartels as terrorist organizations with accompanying death penalty for gang-related criminal activity. Yeah, the 90 – 180 day rule.

Yeah, I could go on but there is no point. Remember the model George Soros designed to crash societies and has used successfully for decades? He, through his campaign donations, is instituting that in New Mexico…bringing it mainstream. New Mexico is just another one of his Petri dishes to further the Soros satanic plans. And my friend…it is working thanks to his demonic authoritarian puppet Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist). Oh, and the voters who keep putting her and her minions in office.

Doubt me or want more evidence? Look into how she handled the COVID crisis.

New Mexico in not the ‘end-game’…it is only another Petri dish.

Military’s Disdain for the Constitution…(this is serious)

Posted on by

I bet that headline grabbed your attention! And I meant it to. Yesterday I posted two separate articles talking about what isn’t really all that important…today I am posting a subject that is. I hope you read this and understand the extreme danger here.

Back in February 2021 I made the case that we have lost the military. Meaning, the military is on-board with the transition of the US from a Constitutional Republic to an authoritarian regime. Even President Eisenhower spoke to this all the way back in the 1950’s. And that brings me to talk about Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) from Alabama.

Sen. Tuberville is a staunch defender of unborn babies. He is a steadfast opponent to the abortion industry in the United States. And more than that…he doesn’t want US taxpayer money paying to kill unborn babies. Tuberville is willing to take a stand with action and not just words unlike so many Republicans that have no spine, morals, or principles.

Sen. Tuberville has blocked the nominations and promotions of over 300 military folks who need Senate approval. Why? Because the military is willing to bend over backwards to ensure that their members can kill unborn babies and get paid well to do it. Sen. Tuberville is willing to stand his ground and fight the military to protect the unborn.

Well done Sen. Tuberville!!!
I give you a heartfelt congratulations on that.
I wish more politicians had your morals and ethics in this fight.

Sen. Tuberville is doing the right thing…there is no doubt in my mind…bringing the federal government to account for its immorality and evil.

So where is the problem?

Since May of this year many members of the military leadership, including several Secretaries and Lloyd Austin himself, have been openly very critical, demeaning, and threatening towards Sen. Tuberville. Yup, the military has gone on an aggressive campaign against a duly elected federal official…for exercising his Congressional right and responsibility.

And that should scare the hell out of you!!

Here is what the military regulations say…

“…blocks them from leading or actively participating in those events, publishing partisan political statements outside of a letter to the editor, speaking at any political gathering or soliciting votes.”

“A number of military laws and instructions block troops from disrupting U.S. elections or attempting to overthrow the government, including Directives 1344.10 and 1325.06 and Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 94. Also, legal experts say, such activity falls under UCMJ Article 134, which bans actions detrimental to good order and discipline.”

So by organizing a targeted and aggressive campaign against a sitting US Senator they clearly are violating these long established rules/laws regarding military political activism.

Does Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. ring a bell? He was the Marine officer who exposed the Biden and US military’s shameful retreat from Afghanistan…he spoke critically concerning both. He was relieved of command, arrested, jailed, charged, court-martialed, and then given a general discharge. Why? He spoke the truth about a grave situation.

So the military has this very, very disjointed version of justice and who it applies to. Question the liberal military establishment and the radical authoritarian President Joe Biden…you get crucified.

If you stand up for the unborn…if you desire to protect babies from being slaughtered and paid for by the military…then you receive the wrath of military leadership verbal vengeance.

So why is this so important? Simple…the military establishment is out of control and obviously slanted heavily to the side of the liberals and authoritarianism.

Think about this for a minute…In 2023 they don’t like that a duly elected US Senator is exercising his Constitutional right and responsibility; then politically attack him in clear violation of their own policy/rules/laws.

So when does the military decide that an aggressive verbal and political attack on a US Senator is not enough to get its way?

President Eisenhower was ever so right!

Note #1: For you pea-brain morons that think I am criticizing our sailors and troops…you’re an idiot. I am pointing out how the military ESTABLISHMENT, the military LEADERSHIP, is out of control. There is a difference, if you are not so blinded by your hyper-nationalism and lacking the ability to read.

Note #2: Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, Lloyd Austin, is a multi-millionaire. His net worth is estimated to be well north of $10,000,000. So tell me…how does a career Army officer, turned Secretary of Defense, get that filthy rich?

New Mexico Gun Ban…Seriously, that’s important?

Posted on by

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has declared gun violence a public health emergency and her emergency order includes the suspension of open and concealed carry laws. Yeah, effectively overriding the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. And you think that is important or serious?

No one…and I mean no one at any level of that state government thinks it will stand…not even Grisham herself. So the ban itself is not important, it is not serious…period. Oh, and nothing to get worked up over either.

So let’s ask the real questions…

Why did she do it? First off she was told to. You ever hear the saying “dumber than a box of rocks” during your lifetime? Well, go look it up online and you find Grisham’s picture beside the definition. She could never come up with an idea like that on her own…she is simply too freaking unintelligent (i.e. stupid) to tie her own shoes, let alone come up with an idea like this.

What did she expect to accomplish? It wasn’t her and her expectations at play here. Those that told her to do this wanted to move the Overton Window to the left another nudge. See, if the country starts looking at gun ownership as a crisis or a public health emergency, then it gains traction as something other than what it is. Gun ownership, the 2nd Amendment, is there to allow the US citizenry to throw off a tyrannical federal government…period…that is all. Any restriction of any kind on that Constitutional right/liberty is wrong!

Why New Mexico? Let’s look at NM’s rankings…Crime & Corrections – #47, Economy – #44, Education – #50, Health Care – #38, Infrastructure – #44, Opportunity – #41. Facts are facts…NM sucks! A crime infested state with the lowest education ranking in the country…Grisham is proof positive of that. But what you might not know…the US federal government owns 1/3 of all land in NM, most of it by BLM…a rabidly liberal federal agency. Then look at who lives there…take away the huge number of federal employees and who are you left with? There are some intelligent farmers and ranchers…and a few other decent folks. But mostly what you would be left with are; 1) reservation native Americans, 2) illegal aliens, 3) cartel & gang members, 4) liberal college professors. NM is a rabidly liberal state with a good sprinkling of decent folks thrown in. NM is the perfect Petri dish for this.

Will it stand? Now that is getting closer to the heart of the matter. The odds are 99% that it won’t…but a slim, very slim, chance it might. But the purpose was simply to bring it up in the first place…that moves the conversation where there should be NO conversation at all. Same with Red Flag laws, background checks, felon prohibition, or the NFA…they should not exist! Well, at least if you believe in and support US Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

So what is the bottom line here? That is the best question…just add “who is behind it.” So let’s review…Hungarian-born billionaire investor George Soros and his son were the top contributors to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Michelle Lujan Grisham. She is a Soros puppet, Soros is pulling the strings to make Grisham dance. So now it is easy to understand what she did, why she did it, and who made her do it…and why New Mexico.

So no, what she did isn’t important or serious because it will almost assuredly fail. But what is serious and important…who made her do it and the fact that they are changing the conversation.

FYI…how can I speak so plainly and boldly with such confidence about New Mexico? I lived there for 14 years…unfortunately.

Liberty Safes…Seriously, that’s important?

Posted on by

There are important and serious things going on in the world today…Liberty Safe Scandal is not one of them.

It has been known for decades that Liberty Safe has been cooperating with law enforcement, specifically the ATF and the FBI. And folks, not just with the digital keypad safes. Combination safes have an identifying number on them as well. LEOs call Liberty and Liberty would freely and willingly give the LEO the combination.

So it’s not a matter that Liberty licks the boots of LEOs…its that people didn’t take the time to learn of it.

Or, a better question…why would you have anything in your safe that you didn’t want the FBI to know about? Really, if the FBI wanted into your safe…they would get it, period. So why keep stuff in the safe if you didn’t want it found? Court order or blow torch…they getting in!

Now, maybe the right question would be…How did the ATF and FBI convince Liberty Safes to so freely and willingly cooperate in violating the 4th Amendment to destroy the 2nd Amendment?

Maybe it has something to do with the owners of Liberty Safe…Monomoy Capital Partners. And who might they be and what are they all about?

But it really has everything to do with us and our Situational Awareness.

9/11 – Never Forget ! (I won’t)

Posted on by

My memories of 9/11 have faded a little bit over the last 22 years but still pretty vivid for the most part. I find it hard to fathom that there are adults that have no personal memories of that day. Pretty much anyone under the age of 27 or so won’t have any personal recollection of what happened on 9/11. How sad.

But much else is connected to that day…that many have forgotten or never knew…or have blindly ignored. Maybe in the bigger scheme of things, these events are the most important. I haven’t forgotten:

    • The FBI, CIA, ICE, NSA all had information that an attack was coming, knew that the hijackers involved were taking flying lessons, and the terrorists had over stayed their visas. And yet…they failed to stop that horrific event. A bit strange, don’t ya think?
    • In less than two months after 9/11 the Patriot Act was passed and signed into law. The Patriot Act was the single biggest reduction of American rights, liberties, and freedoms in the history of the United States. It created the largest and best funded federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies the world has ever known. Think about that…when has Congress ever moved that fast? And all done by a conservative Republican President and both houses of Congress controlled by Republicans. Think about that one.
    • Barely a month after 9/11 the United States invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan and overthrew their government. That invasion began a decades long war with Afghanistan that cost the United States trillions of dollars…and tens of thousands of US military causalities. And along the way we killed 10’s of thousands of Afghanistan civilians…many of which died at the hands of CIA operations during weddings and funerals. And for what? When America finally retreated from Afghanistan we left the Taliban in control, al-Qaeda able to move freely, and gave them billions and billions of dollars of highly advanced military equipment. Huuuummmmmm???
    • 18 months after 9/11 we invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq and overthrew their government. That invasion began a decades long war with Iraq that cost the US trillions of dollars, thousands of US military dead, 10’s of thousands of US military wounded, 250,000-500,000 dead Iraqi civilians, bombed them into the stone-age, and for what again? Tell me again exactly why we invaded Iraq?
    • Let’s talk money…in 2000 Clinton had a budget surplus. Starting with Bush #2 (post-9/11) the US started a budget deficit of $158billion his first year, ended his presidency running $1.4trillion deficit. Obama started with $1.3trillion budget deficits, ended with a $665billion budget deficit. Trump started with $780billion budget deficit, ended with $2.8trillion budget deficit. (note: in 2020 Trump ran up a $3.1trillion budget deficit.) Biden…well, his first year was $1.4trillion, 2023 looks as if it will exceed $2trillion with ease. So our federal government has spent us down a hole each year, Trump being the worst offender. So 2 Democrats and 2 Republican Presidents have no respect for taxpayer money…and no self-control on how they spend it. Oh, FWIW…during those years…both Republicans and Democrats controlled Congress at one time or another.
    • Let’s keep talking money…in 2000 (under Clinton) the US national debt was $5trillion. In 2022 (under Biden) the US national debt had grown to $31trillion. In 2000 (under Clinton) the US national debt equaled 55% of GDP. In 2022 (under Biden) the US national debt equaled 123% of GDP.
    • One last piece of money information…per year average growth in US national debt: Bush averaged $525billion annually, Obama averaged $963billion annually, Trump averaged $1.7trillion annually, and Biden averaged $2.5trillion.

9/11 was a horrific day in the history of America…there is no doubt about that. I lost 343 brother and sister firefighters that day. America lost 3,000 of our citizens that day. A tragedy like none other.

But what has been lost since then has been even more tragic…and it came upon us from the US federal government. We’ve lost 10’s of thousands of military casualties…about 44 veterans now die each day by suicide.

We’ve spent 10’s of trillions of dollars since 9/11 that we didn’t have and for what? For war against sovereign nations that accomplished nothing. And trillions more to create US federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies that are used to take away rights, liberties, and freedoms from US citizens. The same citizens that ironically are paying the bill for that reduction of rights/freedoms/liberty.

How interesting…the US suffers the worst disaster in its history…that our government had ample prior information about…and 22 years later what exactly has happened? How did we respond? What has been gained? What has been lost? Who has really gained since then?

Both Republicans and Democrats Congresses have betrayed us. Four US Presidents, 2-Republicans & 2-Democrats, have betrayed us.

Sooooooooo, maybe the better question to ask…

Why have we, US citizens, allowed all this bullshit to happen in the first place?

No, I will never forget 9/11…nor will I forget the last 22 years.

Care & Share – Results #2

Posted on by
As a result of my article “Care & Share” on 8/27 I have been sent a bunch of feedback on what some wonderful folks have been doing the last few months. I posted the first batch of results last week, here is batch #2. Keep the info coming…send me what you see happening by great folks out there.

This is the stuff we need!!!

1) Neighbor found out that an older retired couple had run out of dog food for their 5 rescue dogs 1 week before social security checks would arrive. They went and got a couple of 40# bags of dog food to see them through. 2) Man saw his neighbor trying to build a small house without the proper power tools. He lent them a table saw, miter saw, drill, circular saw, and a planer/joiner for weeks, and he put in 40+ hours of labor to help them out. 3) A neighbor in a remote community saw there was no fire protection or water for the road maintenance. She bought a used water trailer and had it refitted with a brand new pump for the community to use. 4) A PTSD counselor met a couple at a small dinner get-together and saw there were problems. He met with them a number of times to help them work through a tender situation. 5) Local American Legion Post started an annual project where they get firewood from donated sources, then split it, and deliver it to the elderly, especially widows, who are in need. Please keep it up…we all need to give and receive! Let me know what people are going in your area.
Contact me and let me know how people are helping each other…

Thank you for your response. ✨

Lessons Learned – Garden 2023

Posted on by

  1. Soil is Everything!

I put together some nice raised bed planter boxes…good call on my part. But, what really made the difference was the super high quality soil I made up for those boxes. Plenty of compost, mostly compost actually. And mostly organic fertilizer to help amend the soil even more.

  1. Gotta go Vertical

When you limit yourself on space, as I did with the raised bed planter boxes, you still gotta have space for those plants. I learned that next year I will trellis cucumbers, pole green beans, snap/snow peas, and maybe my small sweet watermelons.

Added benefit…I can grow less sun tolerant veggies under the trellis framework. I will be using the 16’ cattle panels for the trellis work.

And I am going to try tomatoes on cattle panels as well. The tomato cages don’t work for me. I tired wood frames and string this year…fail! So I will try the cattle panel method next year and see how that goes.

  1. Quality not Quantity

I did plenty of planting this year…wanted to see what and how plants would grow with the new system. Yeah…planted too much for sure. Next year I am adopting the “square foot” system and going for just what we eat on a daily basis.

Yup…that means one, ONE, a single zucchini plant!!!

  1. Squash can take over Everything!

So my wife loves squash…butternut, straight neck, etc. So I made sure I planted plenty of it…WRONG! That stuff took off and I can’t the pick-up truck now. On a sad note it took out some of my new raspberry bushes…just choked em out.

Next year the squash gets planted on the outside of two sides of the garden and it will be ‘trained’ to go for the outside chain link fence for some vertical space.

  1. Water Timers

I put it a pretty decent drip and soaker irrigation system. Had to run the soakers during the daylight hours to keep up with the plants and evaporation. This coming year I will have about twice the raised bed boxes and the watering will need to be rotated to ensure the right amount of water getting tot he plants. Timers will be a must to ensure that everything is getting watered regardless of my attention or not.\

I am also planning on ‘grouping’ my boxes so that plants that needed similar watering can be grouped together on the same timer.

  1. Fence

I mentioned in a previous year’s article that one of my dogs thinks organic fertilizer pellets are nothing more than appetizers. So I put up a flimsy wire fence to keep her out of the garden area. Oooooopppppppsssssss…she is smarter than me…she learned she can just push her nose into it and it separates. She then has access to all of the little nuggets goodies she thinks I left just for her to gobble up.

  1. Ground cover between boxes.

I guess I should call this something more appropriate…”Weed/Grass Control”.

You can guess by the title that I will be putting down landscape cloth between the boxes to suppress all of the weeds and grass that invariably will do as well, or better, than the plants in the planters. Downside…I could’ve sold it for hay.

Canada → Saudi Arabia → USA?

Posted on by

So let’s talk about the rabid authoritarian government in North America. No, I am not talking about the USA…although I could be…it just hasn’t reached the level of Canada. At least not yet…in this respect.

We know that Canada is a rapidly pro-abortion country…their laws just love to kill babies. But then again, they also love killing folks period. They wrap it up in ‘assisted suicide’ labeling. And they even bring that lovely experience to children thanks to an incredible loving bunch of progressive folks in their government…a democracy by the way.

And as their truckers found out…NO PROTESTING ! Coz if you do, we take your truck, your job, and even dip into your bank account. And speaking of freedom of speech…

Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that includes ‘freedom of expression’ which generally includes freedom of speech…historically. Well, not exactly for the last 50+ years. As a result of the 1970 October Crisis they enacted the War Measures Act which was used to limit speech from the militant political opposition. And who decides what ‘militant political opposition’ is? The government of course…how convenient!

Yeah, gotta love it. Hate speech, obscenity, and defamation are common categories of restricted speech in Canada. Their ‘charter’ establishes that reasonable limits can be placed on the right if those limits are prescribed by law. And Jordan Peterson just found out how far the Canadian government will go to protect its own absolute authority…and crush any opposition into oblivion.

According to an August article from the Daily Caller…”Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, a clinical psychologist and conservative intellectual, must undergo social media sensitivity training, an Ontario court ruled Wednesday. The court upheld an order from the government-appointed College of Psychologists of Ontario, which regulates the profession, that Peterson undergo training on his public statements.”

So you have a college educated professional bunch of people regulating a huge number of professional people, outside of the governmental structure. They sentence Peterson to 6-months of “reeducation” and the Canadian justice system upholds that order when Peterson appealed it. Way to go Canada!!!!

Your government loves to kill babies, kill adults, kill teenagers, and mutilate children in the name of the cult of transgenderism…and sentence an individual who voices his opposition to that bullshit…to a reeducation camp. Now there is the perfect reason to not support a democracy! Thank you very much, I would rather live in a Constitutional Republic…you know, the kinda place the USA used to be.

But, don’t get me wrong Canada…you ain’t as bad as Saudi Arabia. At least not yet.

AP released an article last week that reported that a Saudi court has sentenced a man to death over his posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) and his activity on YouTube…in order to “stamp out any defiance in the kingdom.”

AP went on to report…“They are sending a clear and sinister message — that nobody is safe and even a tweet can get you killed.” According to court documents, the charges levied against al-Ghamdi include “betraying his religion,” “disturbing the security of society,” “conspiring against the government” and “impugning the kingdom and the crown prince” — all for his activity online that involved re-sharing critics’ posts”

Hold on just a dang-gum minute…Are we talking al-Ghamdi in Saudi Arabia or Craig Deleeuw Robertson in America? So maybe the good ‘ole USA beat Canada to the endgame after all. And the USA did beat Saudi Arabia in the efficiency category…we didn’t even cost the taxpayers money with the expense of a trial before killing one of our own.

Think about this for a minute and see if this sounds vaguely familiar…

“They are sending a clear and sinister message — that nobody is safe and even a tweet can get you killed.” According to court documents, the charges levied against al-Ghamdi include “betraying his religion,” “disturbing the security of society,” “conspiring against the government” and “impugning the kingdom and the crown prince” — all for his activity online that involved re-sharing critics’ posts.

Be worried…be very worried…it is here.
