Several serious signs have been reported that may clearly show the path that the US economy is heading down:

1. US personal savings have collapsed by $5.5 trillion since April 2020. The less cash available to consumers, the less they can buy, the less that goes into businesses, and the more consumers go into consumer debt.
2. Also adding pressure on the US economy is the return of student loan bills, which could cut both consumer savings and spending levels. A new report by Oxford Economics forecasts US consumer spending could fall by more than $100 billion a year due to student loan payments kicking in, increasing the odds of an economic downturn.
3. Almost all reputable economic sources are referring to inflation as the sleeping giant that is awake and will roar for decades to come. One source stated it this way, “We’re moving from a world that was previously dominated by the abundance of resources to one that’s dominated by scarcity. The economic world could look quite different over the next five to 10 years. Using past performance as a guide to the future is something we always warn against, but it’s especially true now.” Another put a hard number to it, “Even if you toss out food and energy prices — which are notoriously volatile and have driven much of the price surge — so-called core inflation soared 5.9% over the last year.”
4. Affecting income, “The Labor Department says that after accounting for higher consumer prices, hourly earnings for private-sector employees fell 3.6% last month from a year earlier, the 15th straight drop.“

Get your financial house in order…please.

FedNow is now active and available!

The Federal Reserve, at the direction of the US federal government, has now created a quasi digital currency that is 100% controlled by the Federal Reserve. It is called FedNow. It is completely computerized (i.e. digitized) money…and completely controlled by the Federal Reserve at every point imaginable.

FedNow is currently voluntary by banks and other corporations. The question is…How long does it stay ‘voluntary’?

Be very careful of this latest attempt by the government to track everything! This program is one of the first steps towards the Great Reset.

The Fed said 35 banks and credit unions are already participating. Early adopters include JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, with other institutions. Oddly, the Fed has stated repeatedly that FedNow is not a federal digital currency nor an opening step towards one. Interestingly, in the explanation videos it uses a digital currency coin to show how the money is transferred and refers to it as a digital currency service alternative.

FWIW…almost all non-Fed and non-government experts say the new system could lay the groundwork for the infrastructure needed for a potential central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S.. And so this week’s announcement has led to a fresh airing of warnings about potential privacy and control risks around a digital dollar.

Not alone, one notable expert in this field states what critics have all been suggesting, “…the launch of Fednow to be a move toward an eventual central bank digital currency and a cashless society. They argue that the government having access to every transaction opens the door to authoritarianism and abuse.”

Jason Aldean music video, “Try That In A Small Town”

So you probably heard about all of the hoopla regarding Jason Aldean’s song, “Try That In A Small Town” and the sheer stupidity surrounding it. Yeah, it is just another blatant attempt for the radical moron left (yes, the mentally insane Progressives) to silence anything and everything good about America.

Well…I ain’t having it!!

I am embedding the official Jason Aldean music video, “Try That In A Small Town”…please watch!

Why? Because for one…it shows the whacko left that they are just that…WHACKO! It also tells them we are Americans and proud of it…and our small towns. And also… Jason Aldean makes money from YouTube when people watch it.

Thank you 🙂

For those of you who haven’t heard…there is a focused campaign Jason Aldean for his song Try That In A Small Town. Aldean is being called a racist, bigot and worse. They are saying his song in inflammatory against black people, etc. Even CMT pulled the video from their channel due to the insanity of those who wish to destroy America.

I would love it if you watched the video, click his ‘like’ button (the thumbs up) and then share it with a couple of friends. Let’s do a BudLight on the left ! ! !    Then go watch the video 🙂

Bear with me please while I share this…

Two weeks ago my wife and I were riding in our UTV about 300’ from our house heading over to our neighbor’s place. Boom! There is a 22” Prairie Rattlesnake crossing the 2-track path.

Any non-venomous / non-poisonous snake is welcome on our property…potentially deadly/fatal ones, nope. And of course, I neglected to have any self-defense tools on me at the time. We proceeded to the neighbor’s place.

Upon arrival at the neighbor’s place, the snake story was the first discussion…he was hungry, he is ex-army, he grabbed a tool, we headed back to the snake spot. Three minutes and a single .45 round later we were headed back to his place, snake corpse was placed in the kitchen, original reason for visit concluded, and we headed back home.

Back to present day…

It has been very hot here and we get our basic chores done early and in the house with AC by noon. The downside is simple…a bit of cabin fever after 3 – 4 days of that routine. My wife went outside last night at dusk to just stretch her legs and look over the garden…that is doing fantastic by the way. And now you know why the wording of this post…she stumbled across a Prairie Rattlesnake in the garden, this one about 15” in length.

She came back into the house and explained the situation, I grabbed a gun, she grabbed a tactical light, off to the garden with all due haste. About 20 minutes later, almost full-dark, we were back in the house, the snake was dead, head buried, the garden a safe place once again.

Later in the evening I started thinking about it and realized there was a perfect metaphor here. Do we have snakes in our ‘garden’…deadly snakes?

Ah, but you don’t have a garden! Well, a metaphor is a likeness of one thing applied in a story about something else…so the ‘garden’ in this case is our country…the USA.

Do we have snakes in our country that are just as lethal/deadly as a rattlesnake?

To get the proper perspective I went back in history to the later half of the 1700’s, Colonial America. The colonists did all the work, settled and cleared the land, planted crops, raised families, conducted trade, built towns and villages. And at every turn the British Empire sucked taxes and fees out of the life blood of Colonial America. Should a person resist the tyranny of the British they were mercilessly and brutally crushed.

As resentment and rebellion grew the oppression likewise grew and the British Empire became more oppressive, more tyrannical, more brutal, and more vicious against its own subjects.

Finally, the brave Colonial men and women had had enough and decided to run the snakes out of the garden…but the snakes were having none of it…and began to kill the Colonists in large numbers, burning farms, imprisoning citizens, confiscating property, and using the military as a police force to lock-down the colonies. But, the colonists were determined to drive the deadly snakes out of the garden…or kill them.

On July 4, 1776, a year after hostilities had begun, the colonists made it formal…they would have no more snakes in their garden. It would be 7 years before the last of the snakes were either dead or driven out. And now their garden, our garden, was safe…the United States was officially born.

I ask again…Do we have snakes in our garden today? Are they just as stealthy? Are they just as deadly as a rattlesnake? Are they just as willing to strike us and kill us…as they were in the 1770’s & 1780’s?

So how to rid our garden of snakes in this day and age?

_{Additional Info –}

• _{Yes, the garden was overgrown with both plants and weeds. I hadn’t done much to clean it up since my surgery 2 weeks ago.}
• _{Yes, the snake was looking for shade during the day, water, and whatever little critters he could find hiding in the plants and weeds.}
• _{Yes, a Prairie Rattlesnake in both venomous and potentially lethal and their strike potentially fatal.}
• _{No, we’ve never seen a Prairie Rattlesnake in our area before the one 2-weeks ago.}
• _{And FWIW…safety comes before any crap snake-hugging, snake-loving, liberal BS that we have to be one with our environment. A deadly threat is a deadly threat…and I won’t allow deadly threats on my property.}

This post is a collection of different issues that have been brought to my attention…

French Riots –

Q: Why aren’t you talking about the recent French riots?

A: There are two aspects of the riots and I was not prompted to comment on the riots. 1) The riots lasted a couple of weeks and did momentarily spread to another country. But, they failed to sustain a movement that would be seriously impactful. So no need to write about it. 2) The riots were caused by two factors; a) a stupid traffic stop where 2 zealot cops shot an unarmed man who was no threat, b) the rioters were mostly Muslim, with a sprinkling of anarchists. That is important! France had a no barrier mass immigration policy for Muslims coming into their country…and now they are, and have been, paying a very steep price for it. There is a large element of immigrant Muslims that have no desire to be French; they want to take over France and destroy its culture. And they have won. True, they have not completed their mission yet, but that are winning and will win…baring some very unforeseen courage and action on the part of the French people and their government. Gee, I wonder if anything like that could happen here in the US involving our southern border and our uncontrolled immigrant invasion?

“Plan B, Plan C, and Strawberries…” –

There seems to be some misunderstanding with that article. It wasn’t really about strawberries, it wasn’t even really about gardening, nor food storage…it was about having back-up plans. I was using my strawberry experience as an example of depending on a ‘Plan A’ but making sure there was a Plan B, Plan C, etc. The same was true when I mentioned food storage. < click here to read the article >

Q: I don’t get the whole picture. Can you please write more on plans and back-ups in regards to your ‘7 Common’?

A: Yes. I will write a brief article on each of the ‘7’ giving my thoughts on how to have plans and back-up plans to those plans. Give me a week or two to get that underway.

Exposing LBGTQ+ –

Q: Why aren’t you writing more to expose the LBGTQ+ crap like other websites?

A: You already understand the issues with the “LBGTQ+ crap” because you just asked a question that also included that you are already reading about it on other websites. Why should I waste my time, and yours, writing about stuff you are already reading elsewhere? And you probably already know enough about that subject to have a clear principled opinion on that subject. If something major comes up that I think is relevant I will write about it.

Child Transgender Affirmation –

Q: You had some pretty tough words about gender affirmation for children. Why?

A: Let’s be clear…if an adult wants to mutilate their body, I won’t stand in their way as long as it doesn’t violate another person’s rights. As for children…HELL NO!! Children have no clue about much of anything body-related. Their mind/brain and personality are still developing…females undeveloped until about 25, and guys…well, maybe never fully developed minds/brains 🙂

So let me be perfectly clear; parents who allow their children to have their child’s bodies mutilated, chemically or surgically, are criminally insane beyond comprehension. Doctors and healthcare folks who do the mutilations are absolute evil monsters committing horrendous criminal acts of evil. They are no better than the Nazi ‘doctors’ who committed horrific acts in the name of medicine during the 1930’s and 1940’s in Nazi Germany under Hitler.

FYI…Magnus Hirschfeld, a German physician, created the term “transvestite” in 1918 at his Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin. Hirschfeld performed the first full gender transition surgery at that German ‘institute’ in 1931 just 2 years before the Nazis took over Germany and Hitler became a madman authoritarian ruler. Gee, some kind of link there?

There will come a day of reckoning for these Satan following, evil monsters mutilating our children. Maybe here on earth, maybe when they stand before God. But it will come.

Boycotts –

Q: Why don’t you promote boycotts like other prepper and social media websites?

A: Well, honestly I don’t think it is my job. Truth be told, I probably should. However, remember I am a ‘civil society libertarian’ and being such moves me to let people make their own choices regarding their behavior…including boycotts. Let me present information and opinion on subjects and then you make the best decision for yourself. Granted, there may come a time where I will promote a boycott…but I imagine that will only come when my passion goes nuclear.

Housing Market –

Q: You keep nailing the economy related stuff, including the housing market. Where do you see it going?

A: Don’t know…short & medium-term. Long-term…it tanks big time. The short & medium-term swings will be just that swings based on price ranges, locations, and other economic factors such as interest rates. But the long-term is clear…TPTB (i.e. WEF) do not want us to own our homes or property. There is a really good book “You Will Own Nothing” by Carol Roth on this subject < click here to see it on Amazon >. And it is already taking place in the US. In Arizona if you own more than 10acres you get a special penalty fee on your property taxes…that is a Communist/Socialist/Marxist principle.

One of things I have noticed are the stats regarding the higher mortgage rates (well over 7%) vs home prices. With the mortgage rates at least doubled in the last few years home prices are not coming down. That is troublesome. Why? Corporate buyers are buying a larger share of homes for sale, individual buyers are over-extending, and there is less post-mortgage disposable income available for other purposes. What is really seriously troublesome…ok, near panic…is the fact that there are some indicators that show home prices are getting ready to spike.

If I were in the market to buy today…I would look for a modest home in a great conservative area, nowhere near a large city, outside of city limits, on a decent sized piece of land capable of growing food…and having a well drilled.

De-Dollarization –

Q: You nailed the dollar reserve currency issues taking place. How bad is it going to get?

A: I’ve already written extensively about this…go back and read the articles again. Summary…bad, very bad, very, very bad. < click here to read that article >

Check out these stats from the last week:

• • • About 50% of all foreign central banks have significantly increased their gold holdings. So why do you think these countries are hoarding gold?
    • More than that, 70% have moved their gold stored outside of their country, into their country. Why do you think they wanted it closer at hand?
    • In 2022 foreign country central banks bought 1136 metric tons of gold. That is $70billion worth of gold that they added to their existing stock piles. And why do you think they did that?

And listen to this one…S&P Global top economist warned the US dollar will ‘no longer be the dominant world currency’ as trade in Chinese yuan rises. Yeah, that came out this morning (7/12/2023 @10AM eastern)

Economy –

I have had several questions on this one…basically how bad is the economy now. So a few things to consider:

• • • On July 6^th I wrote an “Immediate Action Warning” on the economy…6 days ago! You really need to read it if you want to know my true feelings on the subject…you can probably guess most of it. < click here to read that article >
    • This morning Bank of America just released a report saying that stocks are headed for a “big collapse”.
    • Highly respected Wharton economic professor Jeremy Siegel just said this morning that consumers are spending the last of their cash reserves on traveling and enjoying the summer. And that they are about to run out of their cash reserves…and max out their credit card limits. He went on to say that will have a serious negative impact on the US economy…less money means less consumer purchasing.
    • Bill Gross, known as the ‘Bond King’, yesterday warned American consumers are on track to run out of cash later this year. He went on to say that consumer spending is a key driver of economic growth. As it drops, a recession will be the result. Gross said the government’s aggressive spending during the pandemic is still buoying the economy…in a negative way.
    • This information verifies exactly what I was pointing out from my 7/6 warning, “The M2 money supply has shrunk at an historic rate, more than in the last 90 years. The last time that the M2 has shrunk that must was…wait for it…The Great Depression era. FYI…a large component of the M2 is the amount of money that companies and consumers have available in bank accounts, all forms of savings accounts, retirement accounts, etc. Yeah, look at it as the money reserve of every person and company in the US is drying up.”
    • And as individual and corporate cash reserves dry up, remember this from the 7/6 warning, “Last week a paper was published by the Fed that stated an historic percentage of American companies were in extreme danger of failing due to the Fed’s inflation fight. They said clearly that high credit costs could cause ‘huge’ numbers of companies to go out of business…starting with a notable upswing very soon. The “huge” number of companies going out of business that they are talking about? That number approaches 40% of ALL American companies.”

So I ask this in regards to the economy…considering the fact that I have been warning about the US economic situation for over 10 years, what more can I tell you? What other information can I possibly provide on this site to let you know what is happening?

What do you think is happening with the economy right now? Where do you think it is headed?

Better yet…
