>>> CRITICAL – Keep your eyes open and be careful !

I had to put some articles on hold due to my assessing some deep information. There are some things afoot that could be game changing…for the worse…way worse…and soon.

It is imperative that you keep your eyes open, head on a swivel, and maintain serious Situational Awareness. Do not allow those you really care about to go out alone in public places…especially in big cities…or anywhere in California.

This coming weekend could be very dangerous starting Friday night. In major cities police have all but totally abandoned trying to keep civilians safe.

If you are a conceal carry person…do NOT carry your weapon in a purse or fanny pack. Carry your weapon ONLY on your person…and securely.

Avoid crowds at all costs. Be extremely careful of any public event, especially in big cities or California.

I will expand on this once I have completed by research/assessment. At this point I just want to issue a warning and not delay warning you of the danger right now.

EMP, CME, & Lightening Surge Protection – Part #1

Time to go technical…’high-tech’ to be exact…let’s talk surge protection.

For this discussion surge protection will include the concepts of lightening strikes (LS), Coronal Mass Ejections (CME), and of course, Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP). While they do differ, they all can be a threat to electrical and electronic equipment. Additionally, I won’t go into detail on protecting small devices such as handheld radios since I have already covered that in the past. I will concentrate on covering entire systems such as home AC electrical systems and solar systems (both AC & DC sides).

As with all my articles regarding equipment/gear I define the mission, or job, that I want that equipment/gear to accomplish. For this I define it as…

Reasonably, effectiveness & economically, protect our home’s complete electrical systems from damage due to electrical surges regardless of their origin.”

Also, when you hear me refer to a SPD, I am talking about a ‘surge protection device’.

Now that’s done let’s talk about risk management. As I have previously written extensively about risk management, it is determining the probability of an event occurring, and if it does occur, how severe will the potential damage be. Once those two criteria are properly assessed then proper mitigation measures can be identified and undertaken.

In my original article “Will we really be hit with an EMP?”, written in 2015 and updated in 2019, evaluated and stated both the probability and severity values. I originally set the probability at ‘very low’ and the severity as ‘nationally devastating’. Numerically speaking now I would go with 4 – 5 for probability (moderate) and 9 – 10 for severity (nationally devastating).

For the purposes of this article I put the CME events at a ‘moderate’ in severity and ‘low ‘in probability. And then for lightening I go with ‘serious’ in probability and ‘devastating’ in severity. And then somewhere in here I have to inject a healthy dose of reality. I don’t it is feasible at all to ‘harden’ my entire house and all associated electrical and electronic items against all possible surge events. I simply don’t have them time, the expertise, nor the money to do so. And honestly, I don’t have the desire to. I want to live in reality and not acquire a bunker and/or siege mentality out at the fringes.

So let’s talk the most likely of the surges involved with the most potential of severe damage…EMP.

EMP’s are a result of a high-altitude nuclear detonation. Modern nuclear devices that would be used in an EMP strike consist of three waves of energy pulses; E1, E2, & E3. Now, I am not going into intense details…it would make everyone’s eyes glaze over. There are plenty of articles on the subject if you want to get that far into the weeds.

EMP information, generally speaking…

  • EMP devices are generally detonated high in the atmosphere so the damage can cover large areas of earth’s surface.
  • The detonation effects spread out in all directions but the earth attracts most of the energy pulses downward.
  • The higher the detonation the lessening of the pulse energy.
  • The further away from directly underneath the detonation the lessening of the pulse energy.
  • In North America the energy pulses are drawn more to the south of the detonation point due magnetic field and orientation to the equator.
E1 Pulse –

This first pulse of energy does most of the damage in systems. It is primarily high-voltage that does the damage. This first pulse of energy travels at about 90% the speed of light (about 168,000 miles per second) and peak energy is about at the 5 nanosecond mark.

Realistic Example: You are 250 miles from a EMP blast, that means it hits you in about 0.0015 seconds (15 thousandths of a second) but traveling at 168,000 miles per second, and once it hits you, the peak energy arrives in 5 nanoseconds. So once the energy hits you, the energy goes from 0% to 100% of peak withing 5,000,000,000ths of a second. And the pulse has passed you in about 100nanoseconds. Meaning you have to protect your systems quickly, approximately within a nanosecond, and for about 20nanoseconds.

The voltage that actually reaches a maximum of about 50,000volts per square meter. Meaning, if you had a 1 meter square steel plate sitting on the ground directly beneath the detonation point the steel plate would absorb 50,000volts. If what was struck was a normal 3-wire household service cable 100’ long from the electric pole to the electrical service entrance it would absorb about the same 50,000volts. Ironically, the amperage would only be less that 50amps for that same area…but only for far less than a second.

As you can see it is the absorbed voltage that will do the damage but it occurs very, very quickly. And that is why normal residential, and even commercial, surge protectors simply won’t provide protection…they can engage/react quickly enough…about 500-1000 times too slow to react to the incoming energy surge.

E2 Pulse –

This is the next energy pulse to hit…about 1000nanoseconds after the E1 strike, and 900nanoseconds after the E1 is gone. And the reaction speed required is about a microsecond. Yeah, slowpoke!

To get a grasp of this energy pules you can think in terms of a lightening strike. And also think of it in terms of DC voltage. The power can reach 100,000 volts and 100,000amps when it hits…depending on your relative location to the detonation. And surge protection devices such as Midnite SPDs can handle this kind of strike..essentially a lightening strike.

Here’s the problem…that same SPD would get burned out by the initial energy surge…the E1…so it is no longer available to handle the E2 energy surge…and your system is pretty sure to now damaged.

E3 Pulse –

The final energy surge is just plain weird! The energy surge is produced by the earth’s magnetic field being heaved about. And that surge can last from 10 – 100’s of seconds. To get an understanding of this pulse…think DC current. Unfortunately household systems, including power stations and transmission equipment are designed to handle AC current not DC current. That gets you a whole lot of burned out equipment.

Once again E1 pulses normally burnout SPDs that could have handled this E3 power surge.

Pulses Summary –

Whew! I am glad that is over. But the summary is pretty simple, 3 different pulses of energy, all 3 can destroy equipment, and the first pulse is the worst and generally destroys any device (SPD) that could prevent damage from the 2nd and 3rd pulses. And yes, generally speaking almost all SPDs in use today can’t handle the E1 pulse. So you’re screwed right? Ah, no.

Remember, most common SPDs can’t protect against an E1 pulse…they burnout with all your other electrical/electronic gear. But, most common SPDs are fairly inexpensive…about $125 – $150 range for Midnite SPDs. The commercial grade SPDs can hit $300, but they still are too slow to protect against the E1 pulse.

That means something rather simple…You gotta find E1 protection if you are going to be worried about EMP protection. If you are going for less protection against energy pulses, such as lightening protection, then a Midnite Solar SPD or the more expensive Siemens FS140 are great options.

Next comes what I do!

NOTE: In Part #2 I will give links to various products that I personally use and believe in. And if you purchase a product through one of those links I will make a bit of money…from 2% – 15%. The money I make from any of those purchases will go towards a new battery for my solar system. And I can offer a $50 off coupon for the #1 EMP surge protection device!!!

Where the heck was I all week?

Yeah, been a weak week for posts. Yes, pun intended.

But there is a good reason…I practice what I preach. I was building some more raised beds, making some awesome dirt, picking up supplies, and doing other tasks directly related to the week-long article from last week.

Remember in Part #5 I wrote out some “thoughts and suggestions” on how to prepare for the catastrophe that is staring us in the face. That is what I have been working on all week. The added garden capability is just one aspect…albeit a very important one. Another is taking a significant step in improving the security of our home/property. And a couple other issues as well, but those are best kept personal, at least for now.

Remember last August I mentioned about buying garden supplies and be ready to put in a garden? Did you? And, are you? You still have time you know.

Just so you don’t freak out…I have a number of articles in the works. One is for specifically for Mickey because he has asked me multiple times to write about protecting your home from an EMP strike. Yeah, that one is almost done. A final edit or two and it will hit the website…probably early in the week.

So I was busy and the website had to take a back seat for a few days. Yeah I know, how thoughtless of me 🙂

Do We Need Police Reform? (Q&A – 4)

  • Why do you care so much about police reform?

Wow, where do I even start!

Let’s go with this…police are supposed to protect and serve…according to their own words. And they aren’t doing that…facts and statistics prove that. Next, a civil society depends on police…or at least law & order…but not a police state. We have to live in a society of laws, albeit limited and directed towards protecting our rights, liberties, and freedoms…so we need police to help keep the peace and hold people accountable to those laws. What we don’t need is endless laws, policies, regulations, codes, etc. that are designed to control our lives.

We need a check and balance against those local politicians and legislators who wish to control every aspect of our lives…look around you will know what I mean. We need state and local police agencies to be a firewall, a backstop, a check/balance against our over-reaching federal government. There has to be someone, a force, to stop overreaching federal governments…and centralized (a.k.a. federal governments) always overreach…that is just the nature of unchecked power.

If we don’t reform police now, it will only continue to get worse…until there is no ability to reform them. And when that time to reform them runs out…we will be trapped in a totalitarian police state in which there is only one remedy. And Thomas Jefferson explained that remedy.

And I guess for me…Why tolerate inept and criminal performance/activity on the part of police who are otherwise well-paid to serve and protect? Why put up with thugs with badges

when there are many good police officers who do want to serve and protect? Why put up with badge bullies who don’t respect, honor, or support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

Why not honor our Founding Fathers, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and our God-given rights as they were/are intended…and hold public servants accountable?

So I guess I am saying why not reform police?

And don’t go where I think you might be headed…I am NOT saying defund police or disband them. I am saying restore commonsense to policing and let them focus on solving crimes and catching those criminals. And since they will be busy doing that, and that alone, they will by default leave 99% of everyone else alone.

Unfortunately I don’t think police reform can ever take place now. Why? Because the vast majority of US citizens no longer was to take responsibility for themselves…and that includes their own safety and security. So they sell their souls (i.e. rights, liberties, and freedoms) for the appearance of police provided safety and security. Sad.

11:26am

Chapter 1 –

It was 11:26 exactly. 11:26am two weeks ago today, but it seems as if it could just as easily been a lifetime away. Strange to look back at it and realize that it was an event in history, we lived through history, we’re making history. Well, not everyone has, plenty of folks have already died, too many.

Wow, we were sitting there in church like hundreds of other Sundays over the years, till it wasn’t like any other Sunday. Now it will be considered history…if there will be anyone left to write about this history.

Just seconds before the lights went out, quite a few cell phones made the unmistakable emergency broadcast sound, and truly annoying during Sacrament Meeting. I would give anything for times to be that normal again and to be that annoyed again. But those days are long gone, very long gone. What is that term they used over the last ten years…the “new normal” in regards to anything that had changed, usually for the worse. Yeah, I think that Sunday was the worst of all changes for the last, say oh, 170 years or so.

Oddly, no one screamed when the lights went off. Of course Abby’s baby was crying, or should I say, still crying as she does every Sunday…for the last 5 months. She is 5 months old, quite a set of lungs on that kid. As soon as the lights went out the emergency broadcast alerts on the cell phones stopped. But, the building’s emergency lighting came on, the battery powered emergency lighting. And there was the first clue.

Folks gathered outside in the parking lot, mostly in family groups, young kids darting around between the cars playing some form of tag that I didn’t recognize. In this area of northern Arizona family groups could be pretty large. The big topic of discussion was no cellphone worked, none at all, no bars, no signal. That was the second clue.

A couple of families tried to start their trucks and SUV’s, the operative words being “tried,” clue number three. Although one older Chevy started right up and that family of 6 drove off without so much as a wave. About that time I started getting a really sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Had it been nighttime I would had already known what was happening, but it wasn’t even lunchtime yet. A strange thought popped into my head, I was a little hungrier than normal.

Gary was that final nail, well, technically it was the formation of planes Gary was pointing at. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Gary Click, former Army Sargent, began point up to the sky out to the northeast. After following his shaking index finger I too spotted the formation of four planes, very large planes. Having served in the Navy, and two of those four years spent on an aircraft carrier, I know what a flight of four bombers looks like, very large bombers. Within about 5 seconds 250+ people, including kids, were staring into the sky watching the jets and their rather beautiful contrails flowing out behind them. Those long lines of clouds stretching far back to the west against a bright clear blue sky. Then came the two small, very fast, contrails; those too I knew.

The two jets in the rear of the formation exploded into fireballs almost simultaneously. The two remaining bombers broke right and left respectively. I shouted to the girls and I told Lisa to run to the truck. I prayed quickly and clearly to please let my 2001 Ford start, please!

I was scanning for Lisa’s niece and her friend and I didn’t see them anywhere, I was ready to panic. And of course Lisa hadn’t started for the truck, she was tugging at my arm asking me “What?” I gave her our duress word and told her to get to the truck. She was halfway to the driver side within seconds. But the girls were still not within eyesight, nowhere…fear of those two girls missing swept over me. I remember clearly that at the time it flashed through my head that these were teenage girls and they wouldn’t be doing anything that I would expect.

Well technically, Grace was 12 and Lea had just turned 13 a couple months earlier. And Grace wasn’t Lisa’s niece, she was Lisa’s niece’s daughter, technically a grandniece. And Grace would be 13 in another month. In the “other” world two weeks ago, they were both teenagers to me. Now, they are guards, gardeners, cooks, patrol members, and so much more. I wish they were still irresponsible teenage girls full of giggles and mischief.

I found them a few minutes later in the church foyer whispering and carrying on; teenagers, kids, happy. I dashed that so fast their heads spun. I grabbed both, too harshly, by the arms and told them in my most stern and authoritative voice, “We are leaving now, don’t argue, don’t talk.” Both resisted, I barely noticed and I dragged them out the double glass doors and to the truck about 100’ away. Both were talking at me, I heard neither, I didn’t care what they had to say. We had to leave. Later I realized I had bruised their arms, not bad, but enough to make me feel bad.

Lisa had the truck started, the driver-side door open, the passenger front and read doors open; she stood by the passenger door. That’s where I took the girls. I spun both around, looked them both directly in the eyes and told them something terrible had happened, it was dangerous, and we had to leave right then and there…and for them to please not even say a word till we were on the road headed to the house.

I was thankful that for the last two weeks I had grown close to the girls. We had done a bunch of ATV/UTV exploring, hiked till I should have stopped about an hour before, and of course probably close to 20 hours of rifle and pistol shooting. And they really love to shoot! I am grateful they learned quickly and both were good beyond their years.

As I started to pull out of our parking space Matt came trotting up and he was more panic stricken as I had ever seen him. Actually, I had never seen him even excited let alone panicked. He hurriedly asked me if I could take him, his wife, and his three grandchildren home. His 1-year old company GMC crew-cab truck was now a massive paperweight, dead as a door-nail, but still pretty and freshly waxed. Matt is one of my very best friends, he hadn’t needed to ask. I told him to them to climb in the bed, hold on, and we would have them home in 10 minutes. It was aAlmost comical watching his 50+ year old wife and two of his granddaughters climb over the tailgate into the truck bed…dresses getting hiked up to get in…their Sunday best.

Within 10’ of exiting the parking lot both Grace and Lea both started talking at the same time. Then Lisa chimed in trying to talk over them. I shushed them to preserve my sanity and to help them understand what was happening by giving me a little space to talk. Five minutes later after having explained to them what an EMP is and the danger we were in, it was quiet, very quiet in that truck. As I looked in the review mirror I saw two stunned teenage faces, I couldn’t tell what they were thinking, if they were thinking at all. Lisa, well, she looked like she wanted to throw up. Me, my mind was racing a mile a minute, there was so many things to do…too many things to think about.

Matt and family climbed out of the truck, I shook his hand through my open window and we looked at each other as if we would never see each other again. Almost simultaneously we told each other to, “hang in there brother, hang in there.” I pulled away…would I ever see them again? That would be answered later.

We pulled out of his road to the roar of two A-10 jets screaming low about 5 miles to the east, they were as fast as I had ever seen a jet go and beyond loud. They looked as if they were going to land on the mesa that rose about 200’ above our valley’s floor directly in front of them. But they weren’t going to land and they evidently weren’t faster than the F15’s chasing them, certainly not faster than the missiles that hit both A-10’s one right after another. The F-15’s peeled away and took on the look of two missiles going straight up into the air. Both started spewing flares and what looked like a ton of tin foil in a cloud behind each. One of the F-15’s turned into a fireball the other disappeared into the high thin clouds.

That sick feeling that I mentioned earlier…yeah, I just wanted to throw-up, I knew what was happening. It was then I realized that Grace and Lea were crying and screaming at the same time. Lisa had a 1000-yard stare. I tuned everything out, stepped hard on the gas pedal, and headed for the safety of home. Home was the only chance we had to be safe and I knew no one was coming to save us. This man-made disaster had been building since Uncle Joe had been elected President two years earlier. Now the United States was at war…at war with itself.

There was a note stuck to my gate, I could see it from 150’ away before I even turned onto our road. But there was no way I was going to stop and retrieve it, that would be a perfect way to ambush us. No, everything was different; I have to be different. We have to become more primitive, more survival oriented, more situationally aware…the world had changed 30 minutes earlier. The real question at the time was…how bad had it gotten? Now, two weeks later, we know, I wish I didn’t know.

We pulled into the parking area of our “glamstead” and I turned off the truck. I wondered at the time when would we use the truck again and would the next EMP disable our truck. Obviously the EMP that struck less than an hour earlier was high enough in the atmosphere and far enough away that we only caught the tail end of it…kinda like the left overs. At least that is what I hoped. The solar system would tell the real story for us, and whether we would now be back in the 1850’s or not.

Lisa and the girls headed for the house, I headed to the utility room praying the solar system was operational. Habit took over and when I was walking into the room I just normally and without thinking flipped the light switch on…LIGHTS!

So the fact that we had lights meant the solar system was operational…thank goodness! Within 60 seconds I had looked over the system, scanned the 5” computer screen on the Victron Color Control…everything was performing as if nothing had happened. And that told me a bigger story.

Since the power went out in town, just 5 miles away meant the EMP strike was close enough to hit utility company power lines somewhere in the state. And that mega-voltage traveled to the substations and transformers in town blowing them up and killing power. I don’t know for sure but I imagine that the outage was wide-spread enough, but I don’t know the extent of it. However, I did know that it would be months at the earliest before any power was coming in through the utility company again, maybe much longer…as in years longer. But I knew all that speculation would have to wait…time to work the problem…go over the checklists and get geared-up was the only thing on my mind. Well that, and a wife plus two very scared teenage girls.

My Easter Message…

He is risen!

He lives.

Hear Him.

Come unto Him.

Critically Important SitRep – Part #5

Congratulations on getting this far! The number of people reading this 5-part article has been amazing. The comments and text messages have been blowing up…in a good way. If you have read the first 4 parts you have ingested 11,000 of my words…that is incredible to me. I am so grateful I can’t even find the words to explain it…nor thank you enough.

You might want to be up to speed on the first four parts of this article before reading this one.

Let me share my thoughts on oppressive and tyrannical governments who are in the process of evolving into a totalitarian state. Why? Because if you can’t/don’t recognize them, then you can’t fight them. The key to this is overcoming their controls, those actions that a government takes to suppress those they wish to subjugate.

Governments unrighteously exercise dominion over a people in two specific ways…power and money. Both are the equally powerful tools in the governmental employment of controls.

The most obvious one first…power. If a government is strong enough to exercise unrestrained power over people then people lose rights, freedoms, and liberties by default. Power can only exist in a single place at any given time. Either people retain their power or the government takes that power…in any given aspect of life. Example: On a national level the IRS says that it is illegal for politics to be preached from the pulpit. If a church does so, it loses it tax-exempt status. No church that I know of wants to lose that tax exempt status and watch its income dry up, so politics is kept out of churches…and government loses a check and balance. On a local level the county dictates that if you build a home, they -and only they- can give you permission to build. And they must approve how you build your home at every stage of the construction.

The other tool, money, is just as powerful but a little more devious in the obvious. Government, if it can control money, can control everything and do so with less obvious power. Every level of government in the US attempts to exercise control over people via money, although the federal government is the master of it all. The US government is the only entity authorized to produce a currency, that is the ultimate control of money. The federal government also controls the value of that money using various methods. The #1 being the monetization of the currency. If the US government wants more money it simply creates it out of thin air; there is no inherent or intrinsic value to the US dollar. So as the US government creates more money, the value of existing dollars goes done since there is more of it.

The US government also uses inflation as a weapon as well. Based on inflation alone, when I was born I was gifted $100. Now, based on inflation that $100 is worth less than $10. Then there is the most obvious, taxes. Example: The IRS demands you must pay a certain amount of the income you earn to the US federal government. Should you fail to pay what the IRS says you owe…they can take away everything you own and put you in prison. And no, neither the IRS no federal income tax is authorized in the US Constitution. On a local level there is the most insidious and evil tax of all…property tax. You fail to pay that tax (rent, in reality) to the county and they will seize your home and your family is now living on the street.


An interesting side note: income tax is the #2 plank/principle of the Communist Manifesto, property tax is the #1 plank/principle.


To be able to resist/overcome the transition of a government into a totalitarian state, and to survive what is happening in America right now…a person/family/community must be able to overcome the controls of government…money and power. And that is only accomplished by preparing in advance…overcoming a police state as it enters its final stage is almost impossible. Just ask history; Communist China, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, etc.

Now it is essential to understand that American national DNA is different. As a country there was never anything like us before, nor since. Americans settled a continent that was wild and untamed. We overcame obstacles the likes of which few modern people have, or had ever, seen. For decades some of the brightest minds in the world tried to resolve our differences with the British Empire…essentially our cousins.

When all efforts of resolving the problems that were significant in nature, large in scope, and devastating in oppression, failed…these disorganized, mostly poor, and discounted colonists revolted. Local militias went up against the largest, most powerful, best armed, professional military that existed in the world at the time. And they held them at bay while a regular army was formed by the various colonies. Together the combined colonial forces fought, then defeated, a world super-power, and won their freedom at a steep price.

At that point men of immense stature and character rose to the occasion and put together a form of government that had not heretofore existed in the world…a Constitutional Republic.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

It was an amazing two-fold victory; 1) defeat a tyrannical and oppressive empire and win independence, 2) from the power and consent of the people a highly restricted national government was formed.

That is the foundation of America’s DNA…we are different, we are solid, we are from the stock of patriots beyond measure who were divinely inspired and directed. Americans have a strength and capacity that few, if any, countries have ever known.

It is also important to understand how governments have historically suppressed their citizenry in the past:

  1. A problem, or series of problems, arise and plague the citizenry. The people become fearful and/or angry and demand resolution.
  2. The government/monarchy/dictator then demonizes a group of people and claim that targeted group to be the source of the problem.
  3. Then rights, liberties, and freedoms are restricted to resolve the problem with the targeted group.
  4. Then oppression of those who have been targeted as the source of the problems.
  5. Then step-by-step elimination/criminalization of some/all rights, liberties, and freedoms for the general population.
  6. Then implementation of tyranny.
  7. Then drastic and violent suppression of those who resist that tyranny.
  8. Then propaganda that the new tyranny is better then the old chaos…a form of reeducation.

As history has repeatedly proven fear is the tool of governments, the ruling elites, and evil in general. You could say similarly for despair and hopelessness. Once beaten down, a populace is more easily controlled and taken advantage of through the use of these destructive tools.

Faith, hope and charity are the tools of the spiritually blessed…and of all things good…of those with strong character and empowered spirits. For without faith, hope and charity…what good is the future?

To fight evil, meaning fear and despair, there is no room for anger, revenge, or vengeance. To overcome evil you can’t use the tools of evil, you must you utilize the opposites.

Notice I didn’t say you couldn’t use violence. Our Founding Fathers used a lot of violence to defeat oppression and tyranny. Over the course of nine years the Colonists used violence in the war of independence to a great degree…the British side suffering approximately 30,000 casualties. The Americans were defending their homes, families, and their way of life from the violence and tyranny of England. The Colonists were not shedding innocent blood, it was self-defense pure and simple. And as I pointed out earlier, all humans have that God-given right, the natural right, of self-defense. A right that has been recognized for over 2,000 years.

But how did the Founding Fathers fight English tyranny? They fought it in a number of ways; 1) in Parliament and through the British legal system, 2) the colonists developed a parallel/alternative economy free of taxation and control of the British government, 3) the Colonists also wisely fought a public relations campaign pointing out the numerous and serious grievances born by the Colonists, 4) finally, the Colonists were left with no alternative other than to fight the British with arms.

I would say clearly that this is the same model that could be used today to fight any tyrannical and oppressive government. Thankfully the American Declaration of Independence lays out that road map with precision and clarity for any people to follow.

Let’s review some of the guarantees and rights under the Declaration of Independence:

1 – Citizens are entitled to throw off an old government based on the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”

2 – Citizens get that right from God because the people are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Meaning clearly that God is above any and all governments…regardless of the laws of any given country.

3 – What exactly is that ‘right’ and to what degree can it be exercised? “…it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”

Along with those rights also come responsibilities and commitment. Herein we receive a word of caution, “…that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes…”

However, there is also a responsibility involved, But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government…”

How deep should our commitment be in executing these rights and responsibilities?

…a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

Our Founding Fathers knew that to beat the British Empire they, after having committed their all, first had to overcome the controls of that tyrannical and oppressive government. And that included starving the beast of money, taxes, fees, etc.

Now let me tie back in the whole “pantry” and “shopping” comment I made on Day #1 of this series of articles.

There is no fancy story, or some magical lesson to be learned…just prepping. I decided the day before it was time to review our “ready pantry” and restock it. I took an inventory of what we had, counting the empty spots/holes, and made a list. On Thursday before dinner with good friends we went to Walmart and spent $162 to top-off our pantry. Simple as that! But to me there was an important lesson…don’t ever let our pantry get that low again. We don’t know when that final nail will be driven, the final bell rung, and I surely don’t want that pantry to be short of what we need/want.

Here are a few of my thoughts and suggestions about preparing for what is coming. (other than #1, suggestions are not in any particular order):

1 – As mentioned in detail earlier…define and commit to principles in your life; hold them inviolate.

2 – Follow the guidelines of the 7 Common Threats/Risks in preparing your family the absolute best you can.

3 – Prepare to defend your home, your neighborhood, and your community from organized violence…regardless of its source…ANY source of violence. The three primary sources would be; a) mob, b) unorganized/loosely organized gangs/groups, c) highly organized and trained gangs/groups. Look at your home from every angle with the view of attacking it, then develop a solid plan on how you would defend it from each attack. You can use the article “Grid-Down House Security : Strengthen your door…” as a starting point.

4 – Look for every opportunity to participate in, or create, a parallel economy. Barter/trade for goods and services. Buy goods at flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores, swap meets, purchase direct from farmers/ranchers, etc.. Doing so is depriving the government of tax revenues and controls. I will be writing an article regarding the “Don’t Buy!” program.

5 – Strive to avoid every possible interaction with any level of government. Government is not your friend, government is not their to save you, it is no longer there to be the guardian of rights, liberties, or freedoms. Government is the exact opposite…avoid government whenever/wherever you possibly can.

6 – Reduce your exposure to ALL social media websites and news outlets…they produce virtually nothing more than distractions. Almost all prepper websites are little more than commercial ventures wanting your hard-earned money in their pockets. Seek out only quality, competent, and reliable prepper information from websites and people that provide what you actually need…and who you trust.

7 – Throw off anger, revenge, confrontation, conflict, contentions, and vengeance to the absolute best of your ability. These are all tools that cloud you mentally and dull you spiritually.

8 – Focus only on that which is important to your prepping for what is coming. Get rid of ALL distractions to the best of your ability.

9 – Get all of the medical and dental procedures done as soon as possible for all members of your family as appropriate. Teeth cleaned, physicals, cavities filled, prescriptions refilled, eye exams, etc. Years ago I heard a story of a person whose just had their 30-day prescription filled and went back to their doctor and asked for a 90-day prescription, and got it filled at another pharmacy (to spread their business around). Three days later they accidentally lost that bottle of pills and had to get it replaced. Now just think if they had not lost that bottle…they would have had at least 6 months of that medication on hand at that point.

10 – If you are not already a member of a church, join one. If you are already a member of a church, strengthen your personal relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ. As part of the discipleship, look for every opportunity to serve others. You are the hands of God and His son.

11 – Learn yourself, then teach your family correct principles. The best education you can give your children is yours, from you. Wherever possible remove your children from the public education system and home school you children. If you are grandparents and your grown children home school…then become substitute teachers for them 🙂

12 – Pray. Pray for divine intervention. Pray for national/state/local/global leaders hearts to be touched by God. Pray that people will wake up and come to their senses regarding the awful state of our country and the world. Pray for God to tell you exactly what you need to be doing to prepare for the quickly approaching future. Pray often and pray sincerely.

This is not a battle that can be easily won…but it can be won! It will take each and every one of us doing the best we can for as long as we can…and you are capable of thatwe are fully capable of winning.

Ponder, Pray, Prepare, then Do! And then pray some more, pray for divine intervention.

Remember this…evil in our country, yea, in the entire world, doesn’t have to win in their efforts.

I am now finished…I can’t write anymore on this subject that wouldn’t be redundant or of diminishing value.

Please do remember this as you move forward…

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

We are participants in history, we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death right now…but, do not fear the future…we know He wins…we just have to do our part to the best of our ability.

Critically Important SitRep – Part #4

Yesterday I left you with a “tease” and yes, I admit it. I was so wrong in doing that…but it was fun. Actually, I hit a word count limit…any more in that article would have made it too long. And it was a natural break point. No, of course not…I didn’t need to leave it as a tease moment but I had to get you back here today to read the start of the really important stuff.

As a little side note…if you have read the previous 3 posts in this article you have now read over 7,000 words of mine. Thank you…I hope you are finding value in that effort. In case you haven’t read the fist three posts it’s probably a good idea to read those before you read this one:

< click here to read Part #2 >

< click here to read Part #3 >

Now, let’s continue…

What Is To Come –

So here we are…the ugly truth, facts, evidence…it’s all around us. Now here is what I see coming:

1 – The economy is already crashed, the Federal Reserve is already digitizing US currency, and banks are already failing. Non-governmental cryptocurrency is, and has been, in trouble…deep trouble. Debt at all levels, but especially by the federal government, is already rampant and insurmountable. What is left now is a complete replacement of our current currency with a currency that the Fed will have absolute and total control over…including how you can spend it. That currency transition will take place before the end of 2024, currency will be primarily digital in nature (i.e. cryptocurrency). The economy itself will become almost exclusively digitized.

2 – As I said on numerous occasions over the last few years…the US government has declared war on US citizens and is conducting open warfare against us. Not that long ago I said that we would have a shooting war inside the US before the end of 2024…I stand by that. It will be something akin to a civil war mixed with a revolutionary war…a hybrid if you will.

3 – The American government will have initiated a near total police state, an authoritarian state, a totalitarian state by the end of 2024. While violence will be wide-spread, the totalitarian implementation will be starting. Constitutional rights, liberties and freedoms may no longer exist in any form we now recognize.

Now I want to add two qualifiers; 1) Divine intervention can prevent, delay, or reduce the severity of all of this all of this, nothing else can, 2) I could be off on my timing, but I don’t believe that I am off on what will occur. And honestly, I don’t think I am that far off on my timing…if at all. I think the 2024 Presidential campaign and election will be the driving force of the timeline.

I pray I am wrong! I pray that in January 2025 I write an article apologizing for getting all of this wrong…that I was an idiot to even suggest these things. I sincerely hope I am completely wrong in all of this!

But what if I am not? That gives us 21 months maximum to get prepared…that is it…21 months to be ready to deal with all of this. 21 months maximum? But what if I am wrong about the timing? Then how much time do we have to completely prepare? 2, 6, 12, 18 months?

Please ponder what I have laid out here…what I am suggesting the future holds for us. Pray like you have never prayed before, ask for guidance and divine intervention. Figure out what you and your family need to do if you believe in even a portion of what I am suggesting.

If you think I am full of crap…then still think about being prepared for what I am talking about even if you don’t think it will occur as I have laid out. What do you have to lose? What is the worse that will happen to you…you will end up being prepared for any emergency, disaster, or grid-down that would ever come your way. And think of all that confidence, security, and peace of mind you would then enjoy by being so prepared.

Let’s Recap –
  1. Everything bad happening at the national level for the last 21 years is totally intentional.
  2. The “intention” (i.e. goal) is to destroy traditional America and then transform America into an authoritarian/totalitarian state.
  3. All federal law enforcement agencies are working for that goal as well. Their job is to intimidate, arrest, and/or kill anyone who resists the transformation mentioned above. Virtually no federal law enforcement agency honors, respects, or supports the actual US Constitution or Bill of Rights.
  4. No politician from either party has any capability to stop the transformation. No political party is operating/performing in the best interests of the US citizens or the Constitution.
  5. The “transformation” is being driven by much larger and more powerful forces than mere leaders of the USA.
  6. The US economy has failed, the banking industry will soon transform into a monetary monster. The Fed will shortly take over every aspect of banking and currency. And the US currency, as we know it, will be transformed into a device for the US government to control every aspect of American life…as Communist China does today with their population.
  7. Our energy crisis will continue to worsen and eventually collapse.
  8. Our national/world food crisis is just starting.
  9. We are in a shooting war with Russia. A “cold” war with China already exists…and it will get worse. NATO is pushing for open warfare with Russia.
  10. The likelihood of of a nuclear strike and/or war is highly likely at this point.
  11. The US will be in a domestic shooting civil war within 21 months.
  12. The US federal law enforcement agencies will significantly ramp-up their tactical operations against select conservative, libertarian, prepper, and veteran individuals and prepper groups. They will employ fraudulent charges, Red Flag events, and DeepFake tactics to target groups and individuals…and well as extensive use of CI’s and undercover assets.
  13. The violent and open warfare against Christians by the left (including the Transgender cult, the violent LGBTQ+ cult, federal LEO agencies, etc.) is just getting started.
  14. No one is coming to save you.
  15. There is nothing, other than divine intervention, that can stop, delay, or diminish what is happening, or what will happen, to our country.

Whew! That being said…you can survive, your family can survive. But, it will take significant effort, time, and probably money to get prepared in time and be prepared for the very near future. However, should you fail to do your best…you and your family will suffer. Only your best is good enough. And “best” varies from person to person…that is the point where faith and grace picks up and carries you.

So the logical question at this point would be…”What do I do to prepare myself and my family?”

The answer is not complex but may be difficult. Everything in the preparation for what is happening and what is coming will take a dedicated and committed effort. An effort that the vast majority of people are not capable of, or willing to make, that kind of commitment to. Are you?

The #1 thing that must be done first…Define your principles. Yup, decide what/who you are and what you will take a stand for…and what you will not tolerate at any/all costs. Before any other preparing can be considered successful or even competently initiated, this single task must be completed first. Why? Because nothing else will have true value until you are dedicated/committed to your principles.

Another way to look at it…What hill are willing to die on? I mean that literally.

I will shed some light on myself. Some of my principles/hills are these (in no particular order):

  • I will not let my wife be abused in any manner without doing all that I can do defend her.
  • I will not tolerate 2nd Amendment rights to be violated…period.
  • I will not deny Christ, nor have my freedom of religion infringed upon.
  • I will not be silent, I will expose injustice and evil when/where/how I see it, at a time of my choosing.
  • I will come to the aid of the defenseless to the best of my ability.
  • I will not allow children to be abused.

What exactly do I mean? I mean that I am willing to give my life for those principles…period. Does that mean I want to, or seek to, give my life for them? No. But I will if called upon.

Now, you must decide what your principles are…what your hills are. For if you don’t, not much else matters. Meaning, if you have a year’s supply of food but you stand by and let your guns be confiscated/stolen from you…then how in the world can you defend your food from those who come to take it? If you are not willing to defend your spouse, your children, or the defenseless…well, what good are you at all?

Once your principles are defined and committed to, then you can actually and honestly prepare yourself and your family. And that prepping is not complicated. You can simply follow my 7 Steps which is based on the 7 Common Risks/Threats to all emergencies, disasters, or grid-down events.I have even prepared a check lists for assessing your preparedness status in each of the areas: < click here for Preparedness Check Lists >

To be perfectly clear, let me say again…we are headed towards a massive grid-down event…the absolute and total collapse of America as we know it and the installation of a complete oppressive, tyrannical authoritarian state.

Think About This –

Now, here are some things to think about…

1 . We have a God-given right, a natural right, to defend ourselves…period. There is no exception or qualification to that right…none! It assumes though you are keeping the laws of God to begin with. In other words, you are not stealing, not killing innocents, etc. Because if you are committing acts against God’s law, then you lose God’s given right to defend yourself, and you suffer appropriate consequences.

Let me say again…the is no exception whatsoever to the right of self-defense. The only caveat to that is the Holy Ghost witnessing to you to not defend yourself. At that point you should listen to that prompting to stay within God’s grace.

This universally recognized self-defense principle goes back over 2,000 years that even Romans accepted. Later it was clarified by the theological work of Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century.

“Legitimate defense can be not only a right but also a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm.” He continues, even if it happens that the need to render the aggressor incapable of causing harm sometimes involves taking his life.”

Then the giant of Constitutional law and English philosopher John Locke in the 17th century clarified that natural rights were self-evident and gave man the power “to pursue life, health, liberty and possessions,” that was inclusive of the right to self-defense.

In the church I belong to the divinely inspired leadership stated back in 1995 that father’s are instructed to provide for the protection for their families.” That proclamation regarding the family was almost 30 years ago…and it was visionary considering where we are in the world today.

So one more time…there is no exception or exemption to whom we may protect ourselves or our families from…as long as the attacker(s) are trying to do us or our families harm and we are not committing a sin against God’s law. And clearly over the last 2,000 years, our home and possessions are included in that self-defense right.

Do you hear me, did you hear me, when I said multiple times…no exceptions when it comes to the recipients of our self-defense actions.

2. Let’s talk about the power of government for a moment. Probably the most clear example of proper governmental power is defined by the United States Founding Fathers. For it is those great men who fought for, died for, and won the conflict that threw off a tyrannical and oppressive government…for us. These giants of freedom and legal thought made it clear about government power…and they laid it out in the Declaration of Independence.

      1. Governments can only legitimately acquire power from the people that they govern who must freely give it. For it is only when the people consent to give power to government can government action take place assuming that power unto itself.
      2. And the Declaration also makes clear that governments can only acquire “just” powers from the consent of the govern. Meaning, the citizens can’t legitimately empower a government to operate outside of justice (i.e. stealing people’s income, seizing property, or killing citizens). It also means that the government is not empowered to violate natural or God-given rights of individuals…ever!
      3. The Founders also clarified that the sole purpose of government was to protect specific rights of the people. Those rights were laid out in detail; “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Through additional writings it was clearly understood that the Founders, when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, defined “the pursuit of happiness” as meaning a person’s right to their property/possessions and to live free of governmental interference.
      4. The Founders laid out what happens when governments stray from their assigned purpose (defending the previously mentioned rights)…the people have a right to change that government or abolish it. And the Founders after decades of trying to change the tyranny and oppression imposed upon them by the English Empire…finally went to war and beat the English…then formed a new kind of government the world had never before seen…a Constitutional Republic.

Clearly, when Americans conclude that the US government no longer is operating within it just power, those same citizens are responsible for changing the government…or abolishing it. The Declaration does caution that citizens should not take this right lightly.


WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.


3. Does the government win this current struggle by default? That is a valid question. And my response is this question…Why does it have to, who says it has to?

In the United States we have fundamental principles that our country was originally founded on. Now, do we still have a country that functions under those principles? Of course anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see that we don’t. But those principles are there all the same, they didn’t simply disappear…they are steadfastly waiting for restoration.

To understand the principles that I speak of you simply go back to our founding documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution…and of course the Bill of Rights. Read what the Founders wrote as the country headed towards throwing off the tyranny and oppression of an overly powerful central government that was disconnected from the people that they ruled over. Read the accounts of debates after the colonists, now officially Americans, beat the most powerful army and country in the world. Their debates focused on what they wanted this new country to look like and how it would function. The #1 overriding fear overriding everything was creating, or allowing to evolve, what they just defeated…a tyrannical and oppressive national government.

Yes, clearly the greatest fear was a new government no better than the old government. So their efforts were dedicated to preventing that from occurring. To them, they clearly understood that government was the antithesis to freedom and liberty…government had to be tightly controlled and restricted…and kept small.

I think Thomas Jefferson had the broadest and deepest understanding of freedom and liberty…far beyond most other scholars and experts of the day. And that understanding was made clear in his now famous “tree of liberty” comment.

In a 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams, Jefferson was responding to the copy of the US Constitution that Stephens had sent to him. Remember, it was 1787 that the Constitution was written and signed. Jefferson wasn’t entirely pleased with the final document, especially the part that allowed government officials (i.e. bureaucrats and judges) and politicians to serve for long durations of time. The first “term limits” advocate you might say.

In that letter Jefferson there are two very salient points he makes:

      1. The media at the time, being newspapers and pamphlets, were doing the bidding of the government and whipping up a frenzy regarding minor and insignificant rebellion and insurrection within the new 13 states. Jefferson pointed out through facts that there was only one single relatively minor issue and it was in Massachusetts. And further, it was not a malicious uprising, but one against a perceived legitimate wrong done by the government. He didn’t like the media and the government colluding against the people.
      2. Jefferson was far more worried about the country’s “rulers” than a minor rebellion. He knew that the biggest threat came not from citizens but from the government itself…specifically the ruling class, the politicians and bureaucrats.

As a result Jefferson pointed out the remedy…

And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”

But Jefferson didn’t stop there…he wanted citizens to take action in reminding the government who was actually in charge…

Let them [citizens] take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.”

It is clear the Jefferson wanted the US government to understand that the people put them in office and could take them out of office…by force of arms if necessary.

And once again, Jefferson clarifies exactly to what extent that freedom and liberty must be maintained against an oppressive national government…

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Anyone familiar with history, with our country, with our Constitution, with the American Revolution, knows exactly to what Jefferson was referring to. He wanted to make sure that Americans knew they had the right to rise-up, grab a gun, and put an over-reaching government back in its rightful, and highly restricted place. To what extent you ask? Jefferson once again explains…

What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Now I ask you…I ask all of you with eyes to see and ears to hear…Where are we today with our US federal government? But a more poignant question is this…Where will we be with our US government in the next 21 months?

For me, the single most important question are these…What actions am I willing to take to oppose any force or organization that attempts to place me under tyranny and oppression? Will I have the courage to adhere to the principles, honor, courage, and commitment of our Founding Fathers?

I close this part with this…Evil doesn’t have to win.

As I said earlier…no one can stop what is happening and what will happen. I mean that sincerely. But, just because no one can stop them doing what they will do…it in no way means that they and their plan will win.

Let that sink in…they don’t have to win.

There is a 200+year old saying that goes like this…

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

When you delve into this saying it is drawing attention to the natural tendency for evil people (i.e. politicians, governments, etc.) to form themselves into self-serving groups or factions (yes, think political parties and secret societies). It is this ability to organize that makes evil men so powerfully effective and so difficult to remove from positions of power in public life.

In response to this, the only way that evil and their malevolent designs can be defeated would be for good men to do so as well…by forming themselves into organized groups for a good/just cause. If this doesn’t happen, if good men “do nothing” then it is certain that evil will triumph.

To put it far more bluntly…

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” Attributed to Benjamin Franklin, 1776.

What the statement means is that unity was absolutely essential to achieving victory in the American Revolutionary War. The same applies to any resistance to a tyrannical and oppressive government. If those brave enough to resist don’t work together, if they try to go it on their own, they will almost assuredly fail and will likely be killed by that government whose tyranny and oppression they wish to overcome.

Critically Important SitRep – Part #3

Just a little personal word…

So now we get into some the real grit of what I want to say…and warn you about. For many of you this may be old news…and that’s okay. Maybe what I can do is tie a bunch of these issues together, the dots if you will, and give you a slightly larger picture of what is happening and what is coming. Because…what is coming will change the world…and not for the better. But, the change can be miraculous and amazingly good for individuals and families it they are prepared.

I must admit I am struggling a little bit on how I am trying to bring this together and put on the screen what is in my heart. I will do my best…and may have to revise it a bit…maybe some clarification at some point. But remember…I want you to be aware of the promptings, the inspirations, that you are having as you read this. For it is those promptings, that inspiration, that is critical because they are yours, for you.

Do not forget…I will not just put out an article that is full of doom and gloom…but I will also provide some options for you and your family on how to deal with all of this. I would hope and pray that you stick around to the end…for this world can be full of hope if we are willing to look for it and work at it.

If you haven’t rad the first 2 parts of this article you might want to:

FedNow Service –

From the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) own website…

The FedNow Service will provide a liquidity management tool to support instant payment services.”

Remember that me, and many others, warned you about cryptocurrency? Do you also remember the warnings about the US federal government wanting to implement a “Fed Coin”…a US government controlled cryptocurrency?

Well here it is…

Don’t try to click on it, it’s not a video, it is a screen capture of the Fed video on youtube.

The Federal Reserve, at the direction of the US federal government, has now created a 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.

I won’t go into all of the minute details but I will share these two salient points; 1) it replaces, or can replace, psychical money, 2) it eliminates the need for banks and credit unions.

Think about this…if your paycheck, social security check, retirement check, etc. is directly deposited into your bank account and you pay most of your bills online or with a plastic card…isn’t that digital money vs physical money?

If the FedNow program will handle all of the transactions of your money electronically…then why are banks and credit unions needed? Same question can be asked for corporations…do they need corporate banking.

If the FedNow program is handling all monetary transactions are they not also having the ability to track all purchase items?

How much of a step is it then to approve or decline a purchase through the FedNow process based on the item being purchased, or the ESG score of the person/company making the purchase? Or, perhaps the purchaser’s allotment has been reached for a particular item attempting to be purchased…and so the purchase is declined?

I find it amusing…the federal government and the Federal Reserve both went to great lengths over the last several years trying to convince people that the US wouldn’t ever get into the cryptocurrency business with a FedCoin. But if you watch the video and the associated graphics…all representation of the US dollar is a coin…and it only exists digitally. Hummmm…

Connecting Dots –

Now it’s time to bring at least some of this together…connect the dots. You probably have already done so…but please indulge me. Maybe was can see some of this in a new or different light.

Years ago I wrote about how the USA will be overthrown…how it will be turned into an authoritarian police state…a totalitarian state if you will. I made it clear that it would not be forced upon us as such…we would beg for it. How so you ask? The same way it has been done throughout history…the same way it was done previously in the USA almost 100 years ago. The way it is being done even as we speak.

A group with malicious intent who wishes the transition/transformation to occur creates so much chaos, confusion, contention, conflict, and violence that a population will beg for it to end. They simply yearn for peace, tranquility, calm, and some normalcy. Then the white knights, the heroes, show up with the solution…that very peace, tranquility, and of course, law and order the people are begging for. The saviors offer it to the unsettled, fearful, and scared witless populace…who gratefully accept the amazing solution from amazing people. Of course they are amazing people…how else could they have such a wonderful perfect solution at just the time of greatest need?

Ah yes, life back to normal…or move on to an even better normal…a transition/transformation.

So in the US we now find:

  • Significant race problems.
  • A raging problem with gender insanity.
  • Huge economic problems, including inflation.
  • A growing energy problem, near crisis situation.
  • A banking crisis now.
  • Out of control violence problems.
  • An out of control crime problem.
  • A huge homeless problem.
  • Massive layoffs.
  • Extreme shrinking of the middle class.
  • A forced educational system taken over by hardcore socialists.
  • Monumental debt levels in every aspect of life; personal, corporate, and government.
  • A national debt that can never be repaid, and no intention of ever repaying it.
  • A growing police presence that is growing in violence against citizens, especially at the federal level.
  • A culture that has all but abandoned traditional values of faith, family, and community.
  • And a literal invasion of illegal immigrants that includes the worst of criminals and large numbers of actual terrorists.
  • Then we find ourselves deep in a war with Russia and a growing conflict with China.

And I could go on and on but you know of what I am speaking. But never before in the history of the United States has there been this much chaos, confusion, conflict, contention, and violence from so many directions and at such speed. And it gets worse day by day…intentionally so. Why?

Because we are about to be offered a solution by a group of saviors. And the citizens of the United States will beg for it to be implemented! Actually, they will probably demand the perfect ultimate solution(s) be put into place.

What solutions?

Why do you think we are getting so much gun related violence right now? Because the government wants to implement extreme gun control, gun bans, and gun confiscation…they have said it! Strange, virtually all of the gun violence is originating from the radical-left…interesting.

But no worries…the government has the solution. A trial run of it came under Trump when he simply signed an order banning a gun accessory (bump stocks) and made it a felony to even possess one. The trial was universally successful. How much of a reach is it for an outright gun “ban” where it is a felony to even own an “assault rifle” or large capacity magazines? A US President locked down an entire country for “health” reason on his order alone…remember that. You gotta love the power of a Dictator President!

In reality no gun confiscation would even be needed, just make it a felony to possess one. Then roll-up any conservative, critic, politician, or web blogger whenever they want to…coz they (ATF/FBI/DHS) know who has guns and who doesn’t. Simple and easy…or at least they think so.

In regards to all of the misinformation and propaganda, filth, and danger online. The government has the solution…the DHS Truth Ministry and now the Restrict Act.

All of the terrorism, domestic terrorism, and group violence in the US. The government has the solution…more and stronger militarized federal law enforcement and elimination of privacy in a massive surveillance state.

Now combine all of the economic, monetary, and banking problems in the US. The government has the solution…FedNow…a program that they currently are implementing,

To the dark and evil forces in this country all of the solutions are a single answer…a strong, all-controlling, all-powerful, federal government. Have you noticed that? A perfected 1984 solution.

A Money Dot & Crash Dot Connection –

Now let’s talk about banking and currency for just a moment. One thing that people can’t tolerate…messing with their money. You mess with their money you have a revolution on your hands. Well, unless you are the one proposing the solution to overcome the ones causing the problems with people’s money. Enter the aforementioned FedNow.

As banks continue to fail and people really ramp-up their panic over their money, what if the Federal Reserve offers a solution to bank problems…let the government handle the money safely and securely. The government already insures bank and credit union deposits…and Biden just expanded that to include ALL money at ALL banks and credit unions. So the government just takes the next small step…handle the transactions…safe, secure, insured…revolutionary idea, right?

Oh wait, as previously mentioned the Fed already did that; the FedNow program already exists and goes live publicly in just a few months. So our currency gets even more digitized…a digital currency in actuality as I already explained.

Now let’s say something occurs and the banks get even more unstable and even more banks fail. No problem…the Fed can fix all of it…they have the perfect program already in place. And people will love the security of all that government insurance and protection. And as an added bonus…we can fight all this rampant crime! The federal government can simply make it a crime to hold all of that illegally gotten physical cash that criminals currently have their dirty hands on. Because certainly law abiding US citizens would never object to the “law & order” of fighting crime…right?

But not to worry…of course law-abiding citizens can turn in their cash to get digital currency credits…it will only be the criminals that suffer, no one else. Every one else benefits and wins!!! Happy days are here again!

And to help out the economy even more…as citizens turn in their physical cash they get more digital credits than their cash is worth. See, that helps with all of the current mammoth debt crisis as well. People will flock to turn in their cash, they love this new program…this give-away…this free lunch. Maybe make it even sweeter…social security recipients will get raises and all student loan debt will be forgiven…if you are an early adopter of the FedNow system. Physical cash becomes illegal…for the good of the country of course. People are dancing in the streets…We Are Saved!!

Think it can’t happen?

In 1933 the US federal government outlawed the ownership of gold…excepting dental gold, jewelry and some collector items. Yup, you could get up to 10 years in prison for simply owning gold. And the jack-booted federal law enforcement agencies enforced those laws and people went to prison. Of course all of their physical gold was confiscated by and forfeited to the US government. Ever wonder what has happened to all of that gold?

And the left-wing radicalized/weaponized media will portray this miraculous currency program as the answer to America’s troubles…people will slurp it up off the boots of government officials. Well, not everyone…and this is where is gets sinister.

Transformation/Transition and Death –

Why do you think DHS, the ATF, and the FBI are provoking the good solid and honorable citizens? Why do you think they are criminalizing the Christian religion? Why do you think they have identified just about every possible truly patriotic American as potential domestic terrorists and violent extremists?

Because many of those patriots will not tolerate the implementation of such Communist/Socialist agendas as a digital currency and gun control. Of course when these patriots revolt against those moves by our leftist federal government…there will be war…a shooting, violent, ugly war. And all of our federal law enforcement agencies will absolutely love it! It will be open season to kill at will for them. They can finally use all those tacti-cool weapons and gear, and burn off all of the hyped-up testosterone and adrenaline (and probably steroids as well) while taking out “bad guys” in the name of God and country.

Publicly the US government will simply show where it was the racist, Christian, right-wing gun owners and violent extremist militias who started it all. All those deplorables who believe in rights, freedoms, and liberty…and willing to stand up to defend such. Damn those domestic extremists!

Yup, the military won’t hesitate to join in either…to suppress the domestic terrorists and radical right-wing militias. Why/how? Because it will be labeled an “insurrection” which then authorizes the military to step in (as if they haven’t already). Why do you think they labeled 1/6 an insurrection? Yup, a trial run…and it worked…perfectly…supported by never-ending news reports by a leftist agenda dedicated and complicit media.

All of this is all a well-orchestrated operation, or rather a series of operations, to transition/transform America to a full-blown totalitarian state. And it is working perfectly!

Remember Obama told us exactly what was happening, just before the 2008 election he said…

We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

He exposed that agenda for al to see! Why do you think the FBI and DOJ went after so many folks from 1/6? To decimate and intimidate the patriot movement and conservatives in general. To put all of them on notice that the FBI will crush you if you try to stand up for rights, liberties, and freedoms. And the FBI, along with the DOJ, won!

Earlier Reference –

Under the “Connecting Dots” section I made the following reference to people begging for solutions, t”…the same way it was done previously in the USA almost 100 years ago.”

Why do you think they called them the “Roaring 20’s“??? The USA experienced an economic boom period. The economy was great, the employment situation was great, technological advances in manufacturing and farming were everywhere, people were being lifted out of poverty, American was energy independent, education was booming…America was amazing!

Well, America was amazing until 1929…then Great Depression hit…and hit hard. America fell into despair in President FDRvirtually every aspect imaginable. And for 3 years America seemed doomed to utter destruction. Then along comes FDR!!! He was the savior of America!!

Oh wait, he was also a committed Marxist and Socialist. And from 1933 on he brought in one big-government, socialist program after another. He transformed the USA from a mostly Constitutional Republic into a monstrosity that was about 70% Communist/Socialist in design. And he laid the groundwork for the remaining transformation that would come to fruition after him.

But my point is this…things got so bad in America that the people begged for a savior, begged for a solution to all of their economic problems and societal despair. And the ruling elites were all too happy to step up and provide that to a desperate US population. Citizens of the US pleaded for saving, pleaded for help, begged to be saved.

Be careful what you ask for.

The process worked before to perfection…and it will work again…very shortly it will work again.

Notice three things…1) FDR also brought us into a World War that cost us vast sums of money that we went into massive debt for, as well as costing America over 1million casualties, 2) FDR strengthened the military-industrial complex immensely, so much so that President Eisenhower warned us about it a mere 16 years later, 3) FDR rejected the idea that the Soviet Union was a threat to America which laid the groundwork for the Cold War.

The elitist driven evil operational model we find ourselves in today, here in America, has been used throughout history as well as in the United States. And it works, it is a successful strategy…it is being successful today.

Finally –

So here we are…ugly truth, facts, evidence…it’s all around us. And now here is what I firmly believe will happen…and soon…

Critically Important SitRep – Part #2

Without reading Part #1 there isn’t much point in reading this post…Part #2.

< click here to read Part #1 >

This is a multi-part article, carefully reading each part is the only way to completely understand the points that are critically important for you to know…and then to act on.

International Economic Warfare –

In this modern age warfare can take on many faces. It can be the more traditional face of tanks, missiles, soldiers, and fighter jets. For a couple of decades warfare could also mean fighting with trillions of 1’s and 0’s with computers as the artillery. There can also be propaganda wars and recently AI and DeepFake warfare. But a very damning and effective form of warfare can also be economic. A war can be won, an enemy defeated, with economics as well. President Reagan defeated the old Soviet Union back in his day through the sheer overwhelming use of economics…the power of the dollar…and massive federal spending.

Unfortunately, that same form of warfare can be used against the US as well…and it is being waged as we speak. And their intention, their goal, is nothing less than destroying the US as a super-power country. But, you know that, you see it, it comes as no surprise. What you may not see is how badly we are about to lose on the international stage.

At the center of this war against America is China. And the US is helping them in two ways…first, starting back in the 1990’s President Bill Clinton passed huge volumes of extremely high-tech information to the Chinese, including military technology secrets. The Chinese used that advanced technology to take a quantum leap forward in their military capability. Second, the Chinese integrated that technology, along with more Clinton betrayed manufacturing technology, into their already growing manufacturing and commercial technology sectors. The rest is history…we are now dependent on China for the vast majority of our retail goods and contract manufacturing.

And I am sure that you are aware that for over three decades the Communist Party of China has publicly stated in their military doctrine that the goal of their country, their entire national focus, was to replace the United States as the world’s super-power. And they have steadily made progress in accomplishing that goal, they are a mere single step away economically and/or militarily.

In 2008 China was handed a gift of incalculable value…the Biden Family. When Joe Biden became Vice-President, the Communist Party of China was able to buy direct access to anything and everything the USA had via the Obama White House. And it came to them at a fire-sale price. Joe Biden has been an employee of Chinese Communist Party for the better part now of two decades. Joe Biden has been the perfected example of a Manchurian Candidate.

And while all of that has been taking place China has been hard at work forming an economic coalition against the US. The list of allied countries now consists of: China, Russia, Venezuela, Brazil, North Korea, Iran, and now Saudi Arabia. India could also be loosely added to that list along with a couple others that have not come out publicly and strongly in the China sphere.

The goal of that alliance is simple…knock out the US from being the global economic and military super-power. And they are winning. Combined, those countries dwarf the US is virtually every global economic aspect…as well as, and this should scare the crap out of you, militarily. With a few strokes of a pen, or a couple of keyboard strokes, the combination of those countries could bring the US to its knees economically…or more accurately, to its monetary grave.

And don’t you find a few facts interesting –

  • Before Biden took office the US was energy independent, now we are not.
  • Before Biden took office the US strategic oil reserves could support a military conflict, now it cannot.
  • Before Biden took office there was no US inflation, now inflation is crippling US low and middle-income families.
  • Before Biden took office the petro-dollar (global reserve currency) was relatively stable, now it is entirely in jeopardy.
  • And on and on and on…

Now, do you doubt whose payroll Biden is on? If you are still in doubt…the Bank records have been released by China that shows millions of dollars having been paid to various member of the Biden family from th Chinese Communist Party.

It is clear, overnight the US could be destroyed economically by countries that have sworn to destroy our standing in the world. Although it would be ugly and globally destructive, those same countries could defeat us militarily should they choose to do so. And should they choose to turn America into a glassed-over parking lot…they have us out-gunned there as well. But, if Biden would have the will, he could return the favor.

The US government over the last three decades has handed our country over to the whims of the world…with China in charge. Thank you Joe Biden and all the other ruling elites!

Major Violence & Conflicts –

What I find interesting is this…the radical left-wing Socialist/Communist media (i.e. MSNBC, CNN, etc.) are all talking about the violence against transgender people and abortion clinics. They rant on and on about the danger and evil of the “right-wing”, the “radical Christians”, and the “Christian Nationalists” committing untold and numerous acts of violence against the mentally-ill “trans” cult. Some even call it transgender genocide. They talk about how transgenders and abortion clinics are being targeted by these “evil” crusaders. I even heard one call it a “raging nationwide crusade against transgender people.” You gotta be kidding me!!

If you look at the actual facts, the real evidence it is the radical left, LGBQ, and the transgenders that are the primary/main source of violence and other conflict. Not only are the transgenders killing adults…they are murdering children in cold blood. And on top of that you have the maniacal abortion performers killing babies by the hundreds of thousands each year. Then there are the so-called health professionals that are physically mutilating our children, some as young as 4 – 6 years old.

Then there are insane mental health providers so-called professionals, corrupting young children’s minds with transgender nonsense. They tell these biological male or female children that they can become a different gender and that it is normal to do so. That is utter nonsense, it is scientifically impossible, and factually incorrect. And that concentrated effort of theirs kills our children at an alarming rate from induced mental illness, all too often resulting in suicide!

And then there is the whole spiritual side of that evil…and suffice to say the trans cult is simply destroying our children’s spirits, corrupting their very souls. And that unfortunately is exactly what the left is trying to do, sadly for our children…they are succeeding in their mission.

All the while the media and left somehow claim that Christians and the right are the evil doers and the ones causing the violence. That is completely untrue…and they know it. But their screaming and wild accusations creates chaos, confusion, conflict, and violence…and again, that is exactly what they want. You need to look no further than the planned “Day of Vengeance” organized by the transgenderism crowd…let alone the mass murder of adults and children that occurred just last week.

Then there is the Critical Race Theory (CRT) crowd working overtime to start a race war. And that is perfectly in keeping with Karl Marx’s plan (a.k.a. Communist Manifesto)…pit one class/race against another. And Black Lives Matter (BLM) is part of that crowd. And you can see another version of that in California where they are pushing forward with a “reparations” plan to give billions of dollars of taxpayer money to blacks who are victims of slavery…that occurred more than 160 years ago. And do you for a minute think that will induce even more conflict between races?

And now we touch on Trump…and his indictment. The MAGA crowd and most conservatives went off their nut over the SWAT raid on Trump’s home last year. Understandably so. And now he has been indicted and will either be arrested or he will turn himself into jail…what do you think will happen from that radical-leftist move? In their the deepest crevices of their dark souls…what do you think they wish for an outcome on the national level?

Think about it…this never been done before in the history of the US! Even with Presidents such as Clinton and Obama, who were as criminally corrupt as you can possibly imagine and guilty of untold crimes. Then you even have the current President and his family actually being paid by the Communist Party of China for years! You already know that…the US’s #1 enemy, a Communist country paying huge, multi-million dollar sums of money to our President and his family. How much more criminal or treasonous could you get!?!

So why Trump and why now? Ah, there is the question to be asking…if you are willing to accept the answer.

Federal Law Enforcement –

As we well know, every federal law enforcement agency is now compromised and completely corrupted. We can see it in the ATF and their unilateral and illegal ruling against AR pistol braces among other actions taken by the ATF. We can see it their raiding of people’s homes, we can it in their intimidation tactics against gun owners and gun shops/manufacturers, and their utter disregard/disdain for the 2nd Amendment.

We certainly see it very clearly with the FBI all they way back to the FBI infiltration of the Trump campaign with Obama era FBI spies. When they failed to stop Trump from being elected, they lead the DeepState in an actual coup to remove him from office. And then there is the documented evidence of FBI actively tampering with the last few national elections, including the last Presidential election.

Federal law enforcement is an enemy to the citizens of the United States and working to overthrow the Constitution. Even the IRS has become weaponized since the Obama regime.

On March 24th I reported on the fact, actual documented fact, that the federal law enforcement agencies will now go into hyper-mode…

So anything and everything that is on the Internet, or uses the Internet, will be captured and analyzed by AI and ML, communications identified as a potential threat, and then mitigation operations launched against those potential threats…ALL without human intervention!”

And whatever can’t be solved by AI will be cleaned up by the FBI, ATF, DHS, etc. There will not be any privacy whatsoever if it is electronic and especially if it touches the Internet in any way. Then again, I’ve been telling you about this for years.

And then I need to regress a couple of years and remind you of how DHS and the FBI began labeling normal, everyday conservatives, preppers, and even veterans as “potential domestic terrorists.” Then I wrote extensively in February about DHS & the FBI targeting Catholics, and Christians in general, claiming them to be, in the FBI’s own words; “violent extremists”, “radical right-wing gun owners”, and “dangerous, violent.” That is directly from the FBI document in their own words!

Connect this dot…which Christian Church is the lead/primary opponent of abortion? Yup, you guessed it…the Catholic Church. And what lead agency has led the horrific and violent actions against pro-life, hymn signing, praying Christian senior citizens? Yup, you’re right again…the FBI.

Now add into all of that this dot…last week it was revealed another wave of technology that has been revolutionized and now being adopted by federal law enforcement agencies. Those technologies now include readily available retina and other bio-metric data collection devices. Brain-wave scanners that can do incredible things such as, not just indicate lying, but also retrieve images from people’s brains. There will be no secrets from the federal law enforcement agencies…and absolutely no privacy or 4th Amendment rights left from little we now have remaining.

But it doesn’t end there. As if the Patriot Act wasn’t bad enough moving us into a China-style Communist police state, thank you Conservative Republicans…we now have the “Restrict Act” that is making its way through Congress. While it is being marketed by Congress as legislation to ban TikTok, it is actually the final nail in the coffin of free speech.

The Restrict Act allows the Executive Branch (i.e. President Biden) to determine what is “threatening speech”, on the Internet primarily, but includes any public discourse, and how >federal law enforcement, including DHS, is authorized to deal with it. Meaning for example if you oppose the US involvement in the Ukraine war with Russia and voice that opinion online, you could be determined to be anti-US, a Russian collaborator, and guilty of subversive activity. And that my friend could get you 20 years in prison.

Here is more on the Restrict Act…

It grants sweeping powers to the federal government to restrict the online activities of Americans, imposing heavy penalties on any citizen who circumvents it, including criminal fines of up to $1 million, jail sentences of up to 20 years, and the seizure and search of hardware and online accounts, including cryptocurrency accounts.”

So why this, and why now you ask? Perfect…you are getting it.

Tomorrow…well, that will be the start of the real nightmare inducing material. But fear not, there is light at the end of the tunnel. That too I will share with you.
