Just a quick update on the banking issues we are facing right now:

• This is only the tip of the iceberg.
• SVB was the model for the ESG agenda.
• The collapse may well have been intentional as a system test for going forward.
• SVB was one of the banks for the ultra elite. That is why Biden is covering any/all loses.
• There is even more, I am trying to sort it out…but my time is short with the solar upgrade taking place.

The single most troubling aspect…Biden. Yeah, go figure! What I mean is his “Dictator-In-Chief” agenda. Biden, single handedly, without any action or approval from Congress, changed how the FDIC works…took the law into his own hands. FDIC is suppose to be insurance for $250,000 (and below) account holders…protecting the little guy from banks going bad. Banks pay into the government for that “insurance” to be used when needed.

Well, Biden changed that without Congressional approval to cover all accounts at SVB. And now that is the new precedence. And who is going to object to it? Biden comes to the rescue…people love heroes.

Oh, and another piece of information…there is no “insurance fund” when it comes tot he FDIC. With the US federal government there is only one account…a single account that ALL money goes into and out of. There is no insurance pool of money for the FDIC…simply an amount that can be tracked on the government accounting books. When the amount hits zero…and it will, they always do…the US federal government will simply print more money to use to cover ever growing losses.

But notice this is another in a long line of Biden actions where he simply changes a system to suit his will…or rather the will of those controlling him. These are dangerous and disastrous actions taking place…but they are intentional and by design. What Biden comes next?

Two last items…1) this is tied directly to forthcoming US Government cryptocurrency, 2) we are only seeing the tip of the banking problem iceberg. And you do remember what the most famous iceberg in history did to the Titanic…right?

I really hope you have been reading my articles over the last 14 years, especially the last 3 – 4 years…I mean that sincerely. You better get more prepared even as we speak.

Pray for our country, our people, your neighbors…we need the prayers of good people.

So have you really been watching the bank failures? Do you know 3 banks have failed in less than a week? Do you know that 2 of the 3 bank failures were the 2^nd and 3^rd largest bank failures in US history?

Something to think about…right?!

So a run on withdrawals sank Signature Bank over the weekend. Too many people transferring money out of their accounts simply dried up all the bank’s cash reserves. Come Monday…Signature Bank simply didn’t have enough cash left…bust, out of business. Well, not quite…they were taken over by the US government.

So why didn’t they have enough cash on hand? They had met the federal guidelines, so what was the problem?

When cash starts to dry-up, banks have to sell assets to raise cash. The main liquid asset they sell are their Treasury Bonds due to high liquidity. But, banks were forced by the federal government to buy Treasuries back when the rates were extremely low, some even yielding 0%. Well, you go to sell a bond paying 0% – 2% when the bonds are currently at 5% – 6% the lower interest bond has to be sold at a discount…some sometimes marking down that bond to 80cents on the dollar, sometimes more. And that destroys the bank’s balance sheet and begins to dry-up their liquidity.

Let me make a couple personal observations:

1. The US government highly regulates the banking industry through laws and regulations.
2. The Federal Reserve (under authority from the US government) highly regulates the bond markets, the interest rates, and bank liquidity…through laws and regulations.
3. #1 & #2 effectively make banks virtually an extension of the US government under the US Treasury Department.

So tell me again who is primarily responsible for the bank failures?

But it gets worse, the FDIC is meant to insure bank account holders under $250,000. But now Biden has announced a scheme (without details) where no account holder in the failed banks will lose their money…effectively insuring ALL accounts. Well, that may sound good…but what is the outcome?

And just a side note: about 90% of all money in SVB was not covered by FDIC, meaning they weren’t insured and stood to lose all their money. But, Biden stepped in to make sure there were no loses at all. And here is the interesting part…those not covered by FDIC were large corporations and very rich individuals. So Biden makes sure he takes care of the rich…even at the expense of working class taxpayers.

Spreading out the “failure” to the entire nation/industry is almost the perfect example of outcome equality. And outcome equality is a principle direct from Communism/Socialism.

Capitalism, or freedom, means that those that made poor decisions would be responsible and held accountable for those poor decisions. Which makes all the sense in the world…freedom and responsibility tied together…the entire basis of “agency” if there ever was one.

But the United States government, in regards to the banking industry, controls how the banks do business, the government controls the economy in which those banks operate, and now the federal government insures that no one loses should a bank fail. Does that make you pause and think just a little bit?

To me it means this; 1) banks have essentially been nationalized, 2) the banking system is now operating solidly under Communism/Socialism principles, 3) there is no good outcome from this mess.

Couple more things to think about in my own head:

• The #2 & #3 largest bank failures in US history…were operating under ESG principles.
• About 70% of all businesses have revolving lines of credit that will be rolling over this year…at interest rates 2 – 6 times what they were paying previously.
• All forms of debt are at historic highs.
• A bank rating company just placed the following 6 banks on a “watch list”: First Republic, Western Alliance Bancorp, Intrust Financial Corp, UMB Financial Corp, Zions Bancorp and Comerica Inc.
• Another watchdog company states that there are 20 more banks that are on the brink similar to SVB and Signature.

Please, I am asking you to think this through and make decisions that are right for you and your family. Please think what you need to do to protect you and your family from the financial problems hitting our economy right now.

Pray for our country, our people, your neighbors…we need prayers.

This is a quick down and dirty post this morning…a very important post. Banks!

First off, remember I am no investment advisor, not an economist, just a regular person sharing some things I’ve seen that has formed my personal opinion.

SVB, I am sure you have heard about it already, failed last week…meaning it went belly up. And with that failure was the loss of billions of dollars. Here is what I believe to be the case at this point:

• • Plenty of people on the inside knew the bank was in very bad condition and discreetly let their friends know to get their money out, many did, some didn’t.
  • A specific healthcare company knew about it just before and during the initial hours of the failure. They were able to withdraw almost all of their funds through small withdrawals, small transfers and small wires without being detected or stopped.
  • The SVB CEO knew what was happening and sold millions of dollars of SVB stock just a couple of days before the failure.
  • Mark Cuban, billionaire, didn’t withdraw his funds and has lost millions.
  • FDIC will cover losses as per their guidelines. 90% of all monetary losses will NOT be covered by FDIC.
  • The federal government has said they will not bailout the bank.
  • Reportedly it is the 2^nd largest bank failure in US history.
  • It was only one of two bank failures last week.
  • It is unknown if this event will lead to a wider “bank run” this coming week, starting today. There are experts on both sides of the fence on this one.
  • Famous & successful billionaire Warren Buffet issued a general economic and stock market warning to his clients this past week. This is notable since Buffet has virtually always been bullish on both.
  • SVB was forced by the federal government to buys large amounts of Treasuries back when they were 0% and near 0%. Those Treasuries lost huge amounts of value as the Fed raised rates.
  • There are widespread reports that SVB is the tip of the iceberg and many other banks, some large, some small, that are in as bad of condition as SVB.
  • The downstream effects on the SVB failure is unknown at this point. But there is informed speculation that the downstream effects could reach a trillion dollars.
  • SVB banking philosophy was based on ESG.
  • I can’t confirm, so I won’t give speculative details, but there appears to be a darker side to this event and the story around it.
  • Don’t forget the FTX failure earlier this year.
  • Join with me in praying for the best possible outcome.

Prepare/act according to your best judgment for your situation. If you didn’t read my post yesterday, you might want to…the earlier the better. < click here to read that post >

Sorry, I would love to write more, but I have to go online and move money around in our mutual fund IRA account. The afterwards I am starting the big upgrade on our off-grid solar system. But I can’t start that till I move some of our mutual fund based IRA around. And it may take me some time to move some of our mutual fund based IRA around. But it will be worth it to take that time to move some of our mutual fund based IRA around. I am not withdrawing it, that is not our need, just moving some of our mutual fund based IRA around. At our age I think it is important to have it nice and safe(r) but still with the mutual fund company…just in a safe(r) position…for our age group and specific condition.

I’ve been telling you for years about the true/actual/factual state of the economy. I have also been warning you that I believe that the economy has been in a slow 100+ year decline to eventual disintegration. I also warned that it could all come crashing down overnight. I explained it in detail.

One of the best ways to prepare for an overnight event was to have an emergency cash fund. I’ve never given a hard and fast figure on how much cash should be in your fund…CASH that you have your hands on…the actual cash money. I’ve left it up to you and your circumstances to decide on that amount.

Based on the banking failure that occurred late last week…I am GRATEFUL that I have an emergency cash fund on hand for my wife and me!!

I don’t know what is going to happen to the banks on Monday…maybe nothing…then again maybe…

I do know that SVB account holders showed up at various branches on Friday…and the police were called and reports are that no account holder was able to withdraw their funds.

Let me say this again…I don’t know what will happen to banks on Monday. But then again, I am grateful for our emergency cash fund.

Now, if I didn’t have that cash fund…I would head to the ATM this evening/tonight and withdraw whatever my limit was. Then on the way to work in the morning I would stop at my bank’s ATM and withdraw my limit again. That would be my emergency cash fund if I didn’t already have it. If I had more than one ATM card/account…I would probably do the same to both if it seemed appropriate.

If nothing happens Monday, or next week or so, and I felt confident in the economic situation I would go ahead and deposit that money back into my account(s)…if I no longer saw a need for the emergency cash fund.

But that is just what I would do.

FWIW…remember this line…

“We didn’t know it was that bad. Then overnight it just erupted.”

It was from my article “Let’s talk WWIII…”

Just saying…

I wrote this Sunday morning. I decided against posting it on Monday morning because I didn’t want to edit it right then and I wanted to give it some time to make sure it was appropriate. Most of Monday I was working at a local church camp with my tractor repairing their roads from a bad rainy season. Then Tuesday I started do a bunch of work preparing for my solar system up-grade. Both days I contemplated what I had written. This morning I knew it was time to edit and publish. I hope you get something out of it, something of value just to you…please listen to the spirit as you read the post.

This morning was another one of those mornings…2:55am and I am wide awake. I am not sure of the single reason I woke up, but for sure I couldn’t go back to sleep…too much rolling around in this 67 year old mind. As I laid there I did a mental exercise…based on a 25-year old kid (ok, young man) from Utah that police killed this past week. I wish I had just gone back to sleep.

Follow along with me if you have a few minutes, but don’t read any further unless you are willing to read to the end…because that is where the good stuff is. And please, don’t just skip to the end 🙂

So on an average working/employed morning, a person (call him Joe) wakes up laying on a bed and pillow that the government has to approve the materials, labels, and the entire manufacturing/selling process. The bed and pillow are in a house that government controlled every aspect of its build. Every electric wire, every water pipe, every 2×4, every door and window…every single piece of anything that built that house had to be approved by the government. Even the actual construction itself at each stage of the build. And the builder was controlled by the government in every possible aspect of his business while the government collected a staggering amount of taxes, permit fees, application fees, etc.

So Joe gets into the shower with hot water that is supplied by a government entity, or controlled by one. Even the quality water itself is controlled by multiple layers of government. The soap, shampoo, and conditioner is all manufactured by a company that the government controls, as is the company the transported it…and the same for the store that sold it. Then it is time for Joe to eat breakfast…as with all meals Joe will eat that day…all the food is controlled by the government…from growing to the store it is sold in. As Joe heads out to work he takes out the trash, that a government department will collect or it will be collected by a company that the government controls. Then Joe heads to work in his car that the government mandates by law has to meet government requirements, or Joe takes public transportation that is entirely controlled by the government.

But wait, Joe kissed his young children goodbye as they left for school…school attendance is required by law, taught by teachers that only government can approve, in buildings that are owned by government, and the entire curriculum has to be government approved at some level, or multiple levels.

Joe gets to work…as a barber, a man that has always loved to cut hair. But Joe had to get a government license to cut hair, without government approval and permission Joe couldn’t do what he loved. And Joe can’t cut hair as his own home and he can’t create his own hair cutting business because government controls every aspect of creating a business and Joe can’t afford the licenses, permits, fees, taxes, and government required insurance to do it…so Joe works for another man’s business. Oh, and that business Joe works for…it only exists because the government gave that company permission to cut hair…and to even exist in the first place.

Today is payday…Joe gets his paycheck for doing what he loves. But, a huge chunk of his paycheck was confiscated by local, state, and federal governments. Joe is paying for other peoples’ retirement, other peoples’ medical care, other peoples’ workplace injuries, and a long list of “other peoples’” everything. So Joe only takes home about 60% of what he actually earned.

Joe gets home, his children have already been released from school, and his wife is home from her job. Joe’s wife has to work too because Joe’s paycheck is going to pay for other peoples’ expenses instead of taking care of his own family. But Joe will have a little less money this payday to pay for his family’s expenses. Joe was driving home, got distracted, and a cop gave him a speeding ticket for going 42 in a 35mph speed zone. And even though Joe didn’t cause harm to anyone, the city will now confiscate $157.00 of Joe’s paycheck…or send him to jail, taking away his freedom and ability to provide for his family.

After dinner Joe sits down with his family to watch TV. The TV was manufactured to government safety specifications, the programming provided by cable that is overseen by government, and taxed heavily by government. Of course the TV and all other electrical devices in his home is powered by electricity provided by a government entity or a government controlled utility company that has to meet government mandated standards and is heavy taxed by the government at every level.

Joe and his family retire to bed for the night…the same beds/pillows/house that is, or has been, all controlled by the government. But not to worry, Joe and his family will go to church on Sunday and worship God according to their own beliefs. Well, not really.

At church the minister wants to preach about the evils of abortion and how the government shouldn’t pay for it and shouldn’t arrest those that protest against that hideous crime against man and God. But, the federal government says “No!” and the preacher understands federal tax law…he can’t bring politics to the pulpit. If he does…his church will lose their tax exemption according to federal government law. So the preacher must only say things in church that the government approves of…or risk IRS agents paying a visit. As Joe falls asleep he wonders why the First Amendment gets ignored by the federal government.

As Joe drifts off to sleep he remembers the minister is already in trouble…he was arrested during the COVID lock-down for holding church services in the parking lot…which was against the government’s emergency declaration. And the police informed him at the time of his arrest that Constitutional rights, such as the First Amendment, didn’t apply when there was an emergency declaration by the government.

After church Joe wanted to take his family shooting at the local gun range. But Joe lives in a state that sees guns around children as “child endangerment” and Joe already knows several families where the father was arrested for guns around his children in their own home. One of Joe’s fellow congregation members even had his children take from the family based on a court saying it was child endangerment.

That father hasn’t seen his children in 9 months, and he will probably end up in prison at the conclusion of his trial. And besides, Joe can’t really go to the gun range, running low on ammunition and doesn’t want to buy any more. Sellers are now required to provide all ammo purchase information to the state government because the government now suspects anyone buying ammo is a potential violent domestic extremist. And the federal government requires all ammo manufactures and distributors to report numbers to various government agencies.

And Joe even considered attending a prayer meeting outside a local abortion clinic next Saturday. Those that will attend are planning to sing hymns and pray outside the clinic in hopes to dissuade women from killing their unborn babies. But, Joe won’t do it now. For months people all over the country have been arrested and imprisoned by the FBI for violating the “FACE Act.”

And Joe knows that the US federal government is firmly in support of abortion which is a part of the eugenics program…a program implemented by the likes of Hitler and Stalin. And the FBI and Department of Justice will not tolerate anyone getting in the way of killing unborn babies…so Joe will not be attending any anti-abortion protests…or even the prayer meetings. Joe is actually considering not taking his family to church anymore.

The FBI has already branded Catholics as radicals and domestic extremists. And although Joe isn’t a Catholic, he is a Christian, and he is intimidated by federal law enforcement now persecuting a Christian denomination. Joe doesn’t want to put his family in danger like the Catholics are. Joe briefly realizes that the FBI operation of active intimidation is working…working against the First Amendment. Joe wonders why the FBI would do such things.

Joe gets a good night sleep…and starts another new day. But all is not well.

Last week Joe and his wife sat down and went over their budget…it was a gloomy picture. First off, Joe realized that paying taxes meant he worked for the local, state, and federal governments for the first 5 months of every year. Then he worked for the utility companies the next month, then the bank for the next 3 months paying for his two cars and home. Then a month paying for natural gas for his home and gasoline for his cars. That left him with 1/6th of his annual income for his family real expenses…thier “living.”

No wonder both he and his wife had to work outside the home. What worries Joe the most…his property taxes. If he fails to pay the property taxes on his home the county government would take his home and sell it. Then his family would be homeless. Joe thought originally he “owned” his home, but after paying property taxes for the last 10 years Joe realized he actually only rented his home from the government. Ironically the actual “seizing” of his home would be done by the Sheriff’s department…who strangely enough have the slogan on every vehicle that says “To Serve and Protect with Integrity and Honor!” Rather odd Joe thinks. Somewhere in the back of his mind Joe remembers something about Communism…comrades only rented from the government.

Now I ask you…Does this sound remotely familiar?

You may not be a barber, you may have grown kids, you may homeschool…but what part of your life isn’t controlled by some level of government? Seriously, I am asking you…What part of your life is actually under your control, and your control alone?

I am sitting here writing this article in a home that every aspect was/is controlled by the government. I am typing on a laptop that had to have government permission to be made, imported, and sold…and they taxed it at every level. I am wearing glasses that again, government controlled and taxed. I will post this article via the Internet that the provider is government controlled and heavily taxed. The article will go to my website that is hosted by a company that is controlled and taxed by the government.

Are you any different?

So I hate to break it to you…today’s USA is a 3,533,038 square mile prison! Metal bars and barbed wire may not surround the prison entirely…but a prison all the same. Is it not?

Do you doubt me?

Try this…if you break any of the prison rules what can happen to you? If you try to live outside of government control what happens to you? If you resist prison rules at any level what happens to you?

The best you can hope for is a monetary fine. But you could almost as easily find yourself homeless or imprisoned. Take it one step further and I guarantee you…you will be dead…the FBI, ATF, CIA, DHS will all see to that.

You can see it all around you…just research actual facts and news. How did it turn out for the nearly 80 men, women, children, and babies who died in the Waco/Davidian Massacre at the hands of the FBI & ATF.

Full Stop!

The title of the article is “The one thing they can’t control…” So what is that one thing?

First off “they” is the government…any and all levels of government is they. Next, the one thing is…your mind and ultimately the choices you make. I see the two as a single concept…mind and choices.

You well know the government does everything it possibly can to control your mind. Everything from laws that require your children to be taught government mandated curriculum starting at the age of 5…to controlling what a minister can and can’t say from the pulpit. The government even has jack-booted thugs with badges that will try to intimidate your into doing their bidding. Just ask all those dozens of people that have been arrested by FBI SWAT over the last couple of months for praying and singing hymns outside of abortion factories…trying to save baby’s lives.

But for the government to succeed in controlling your mind…you must succumb to them…you must freely give up your ability to think for yourself and allow the government to dictate what you think.

Same goes for the choices you make. You can make choices based on your own free will, your own agency, your own conscious, as God and the Constitution intended. Or, you can make choices that bring you in-line with the government will…with government dictates and mandates.

Here’s the deal…every person is free to think as they see fit, to make choices they know to be right…to follow their own principles. But those brave actions, may come at a price…potentially a steep price.

As you well know, government at any level, wants compliance, total compliance. Government workers want you to comply, they demand you comply, with their every whim. And should you step outside their desires…they will move against you with all the power government can bring to bear. They can bring the wrath of government down on you…even to the taking of your life. And they do so regularly, often, and publicly…they have bought up armies and navies of immense power that can be used against you.

Only the brave, the courageous, those with a true understanding of the Constitution and a solid discernment of God-given rights will have control of their own mind and make choices within the bounds of both God and the Constitution. All the rest of the people must ask if they will be sheep at the feet of their government masters. Simply to be sheep allowing the government to control them, to dictate to them everything from awaking in the morning to laying their head down at night.

Life is full of irony and contradictions. For me, I believe that government was instituted for the benefit of people, to protect rights and freedoms. And about 230 years ago people in the USA set up their government to do just that…protect rights, freedoms, and liberties…and for the USA to be very, very limited in all other aspects of governance. But that is long gone…today we simply serve the government with our slavery giving up our hard earned money to those bureaucrats and politicians that waste it.

As for our rights, freedoms, and liberties…tell me again, where are they in your life?

Our last aspect of life that some petty government official, or some federal badge-toting thug, doesn’t control is our mind, and with that our choices. Don’t let them control your mind…and be wise, very wise and courageous with your choices.

May I suggest that today that you read the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence. I believe it to be a true and just document inspired and directed by God given to our Founding Fathers as a guide and motivation. Motivation for a new country to free itself from tyranny and oppression. And it is just as applicable today as it was on July 4^th, 1776.

The government can’t control your mind, they can’t control your choices…unless you give them that power.

First off…let’s start this our correctly…we are already in WWIII. Well, at least the early stages of it, in my opinion. Currently the shooting war is in Ukraine with Russia. But, make no mistake about it…our troops, contractors, and CIA operatives…along with 10’s of BILLIONS of dollars…are already there.

If you remember the early days of WWII, 1939 – 1941, we were supplying huge amounts of arms, money, and “advisors” to the Allies, specifically England. Today the Allies are NATO and England is Ukraine in today’s war.

Couple more points…

1) Russia started the war when they invaded a little over a year ago.

2) We are responsible for it when we toppled the sovereign Ukrainian government in 2012 – 2014, and Biden green-lighted the Russian invasion in the days running up to the invasion.

3) We, USA & UK, stopped peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia last year, some 60 days after the war started.

4) We stated we want to destroy Russia (a sovereign nation) and overthrow Putin (a sovereign nation’s President).

5) We, along with NATO, have escalated the war by providing increasingly more lethal and offensive weapons to Ukraine. Russia has reacted to those escalations, inflicting more death and destruction.

And here is an interesting question…Who is responsible for funding Russia in its war with Ukraine?

Here is the answer that will blow your mind…

the USA!!!

The month before Creepy Joe Biden was elected President of the United States oil was $35.79 a barrel and Russia was producing 9,500,000 barrels of oil per month. That was giving them an income of $340,000,000 per month, or $4billion per year.

Now fast forward to Russia’s most recent stats from late last year…oil is now $76.45 a barrel (price increase of 114% under Biden) and Russia is now producing 10,300,000 barrels of oil per month (production increase of 8% under Biden). That is giving Russia an income of $787,435,000 per month, or $9.5billion per year.

Yup, good ‘ole Hair Sniffer Biden and the dumb ass US government is providing Putin/Russia with more than twice the money to wage war…wage war against Ukraine, NATO, and the USA. Do you think Putin sent Biden a Christmas card thanking him for his generosity?

Oh, and while we’re at it, as a bonus for Russia…the Biden oil inflation is hurting American business and really putting beat down on middle and low income Americans. Yea USA!!!

What does that have to do with WWIII? Wait, I will get there.

A few years back research was done on countries who experienced civil war since WWII. One consistent statement kept coming from those that were interviewed who came from those countries who experienced civil war.

“We didn’t know it was that bad. Then overnight it just erupted.”

If that sounds familiar with what many of the Jews in Germany and Poland said in the run up to WWII…it does because it is.

What does that have to do with WWIII? You don’t have to wait…I will tell you right now. People whose countries experienced violent civil war simply were not aware of how bad the situation was until AFTER it started. And yes, that included the Jews at the start of WWII.

I have been telling you for years that the USA was building up to a civil war…last year I told you it had started. Yup, the US federal government has started a civil war here in the US.

What does that have to do with WWIII? The USA is fractured into so many tribes and political groups, and races and all manner of diversification that we are no longer “united”…we are fractured…fractured beyond most folks’ imagination…just the way our US federal government wants it. And that fracturing means that the USA is internally weak…very, very, weak.

Then you factor in out-of-control inflation, huge increase in energy costs, trillions and trillions of dollars of wealth disappearing last year in just the housing market, ALL debt at historic and unrecoverable highs…well, our economy is in shambles.

Okay, so you get the picture…you see it all around you…you don’t need me telling you. But, have you clearly accepted the fact that we have lost the military? The US military as long been revered as a sacred cow…despite a long and sordid history of violent actions against US citizens. But now it has entered a whole new phase…call it wokism, CRT, diversification, whatever you want…the mindset in the military leadership is now just as fostering anti-American principles as the rest of society.

On July 28, 1932 the U.S. government attacked World War I veterans with tanks, bayonets, and tear gas, under the leadership of Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Did you know that US Navy recommended reading list last year had a Marxist doctrine/principle book on it…that is full of, and promoting, race hatred? Did you know that the Secretary of Defense put a higher priority on teaching CRT than military readiness? Remember when the USAF Academy was secretly teaching it new officers to not use the terms “mother” and “father”? And lastly, the majority of all service members now say they would fire on Americans if so ordered…regardless of the reason to do so.

Think back to all of the articles I’ve written on the US federal government demonizing and dehumanizing groups of people using the terms:

• • Terrorist
  • Violent domestic extremists
  • Domestic terrorist
  • Violent militia extremists
  • Violent white supremacists

Think about this…if military members have, through a survey, said they will fire on American citizens, think how quickly they would fire on any individual, or group, labeled with a term mentioned directly above!

What does that have to do with WWIII? America is weak beyond comprehension right now. And don’t think for a minute that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia don’t know that. Hell, they have been working towards that goal!

So here we are, locked in a war with Russia located in the Ukraine. Notice that North Korea started missile “testing” again? And notice how China has been probing Taiwan lately?

Previously I showed that we, the USA, has lost every war we’ve fought since WWII, the latest embarrassing loses were Iraq and Afghanistan. Could we beat Russia head-on? Yes, I believe we could…and therein lies the danger. Do you honestly think that Russia would tolerate losing a war to the US if it was backed into a corner like an animal about to lose everything? Or, do you think it would go nuclear…at least tactical if not strategic?

Well, before you answer that…if we were in a toe-to-toe war with Russia do you think China would not go for Taiwan?

Let’s talk about China going for Taiwan…

• • China has tens of thousands of military-capable drones on mainland China. What happens to US air superiority when we get done dealing with all of those drones? We don’t have enough missiles in our arsenals to deal with all of those drones, let alone the Chinese bombers/fighters aftermath. And we surely don’t have enough of those missiles in the Pacific Theater.
  • What about jet fuel and ship fuel and helicopter fuel and tank fuel and Bradley fuel and Humvee fuel? We do not have enough of any of that fuel in the Pacific Theater to deal with a war. And we don’t have enough tankers to move it from the US production facilities to the Pacific Theater…under normal times, let alone war time. And we currently don’t have enough production capability in the US to fill the tankers even if we did have the tankers. Nor do we have the storage facilities in the Pacific to store all of that fuel even if we could get it there.
  • And should we try to shift emphasis to a war with China…then what happens to the war with Russia?

So you see…we are screwed! China doesn’t have to invade the US…and it wouldn’t want to if they simply wanted to dethrone us. The US is weakened political, internally, economically, and dependent on foreign countries for so much…we would be unable to defeat both Russia and China…or even China by itself…conventionally. And with Crazy Joe as president…well, how does that sound?

And we haven’t even talked about North Korea going for South North…or Iran striking Israel.

And just think for a minute…if China would start dumping US government debt. Then think if Saudi Arabia would cut oil production and/or stop accepting US dollars for payment?

And notice…China just formally got cozy with Russia economically? And we know that they are already supplying Russia with arms, technology, and all manner of wartime aid. And we know that China is loving buying all that Russian oil.

So we are in the early stages of World War 3 right now. And virtually no average US citizen is realizing it. But our politicians, especially Biden, knows we are. That’s exactly what he wants.

Do you know how close we are to open WWIII? Do you know that there is no winning WWIII?

We are closer to open conflict with Russia that even during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Hell, we are in open conflict with Russia already!

The famous “Doomsday Clock” is set at 90seconds to midnight! That is the closest to nuclear war that the clock has ever been.

And China already knows it can destroy us economically…just look what happened when Chinese goods sat unloaded off the US coast during COVID lock-down. Oh, the COVID lock-down that Biden implemented. And FWIW…a couple of days ago China’s President Xi Jinping instructed his country’s military to be ready by 2027 to invade Taiwan

And please, please don’t forget all the money, huge amounts of money, that has flowed to the Biden family directly from the Chinese Communist Party!

So what do you think? What are you doing to prepare for this eventuality?

I say…Live up to your principles.

Yes, I know that most of my posts lately have been focused on two things; 1) solar, 2) current state of global affairs. Many of you folks aren’t interested in solar, I understand that, and some folks are. I feel a need to help those with solar where I can. I hope the rest of you can tolerate my effort in that area. And then there is the current state of global/national affairs thing, current events…oh boy.

Several months ago I really wanted to get away from the SitReps and pretty much anything to do with current events and anything else that was doom & gloom stuff. Yeah, I failed in that…miserably so.

Over the weekend I attended a meeting that touched on a number of subjects that reached into my soul. One of which was social media and news…and how negative it all was to people, and its effects. It gave me great pause for thought on what I am doing on my website.

For years I have given what I consider rock solid information on all aspects of emergency preparedness…what I would prefer to call “self-reliance” since it is a bit more appropriate to my way of thinking. And a few years back I really shifted to focus more on current events, current state of affairs, and exposing government maleficence.

To be perfectly honest…it kills me to write some of those articles. Meaning, it is depressing, dark, dispiriting, and disheartening at times. My wife has seen it and actually mentioned it to me before. And over the weekend I questioned myself on whether I should continue to write articles on current events or not. Frankly, I was torn. Then I remembered…

Thomas Jefferson wrote to his nephew Peter Carr in 1787,

“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.”

Notice his specific use of words…without jumping to any personal conclusions. First off, Jefferson tells his nephew to question everything with boldness…even so far as to question the very existence of God. This was not a rejection or repudiation of God. It was rather that God would appreciate the use of reason and logic when looking at the world vs just fearing, or blindly following, God. But that was a secondary point, a point of emphasis to the larger principle.

The main point of Jefferson’s statement was one of being fearless…question everything! This was not meant to simply state that something or everything is false or fraudulent. Jefferson’s challenge was to tell his nephew to look at everything he believed in and apply reason and logic to see if it was true…or more just a result of his personal bias and generally accepted misinformation.

I am certainly no Jefferson…that is obvious and I would never aspire to refer to myself as such. But what I am trying to do with many of my posts is to motivate you to challenge what you believe…test it, apply evidence, facts, logic, and reason to what you hold to be true. Then, with cold dispassion, intelligently evaluate your beliefs free from bias and misinformation.

The entire world around us is filled with misinformation, outright lies, half-truths, and deception. It is now impossible for even the government to do anything but deceive. It is normal for people to embrace easy truth…or rather ”so-called truth.” We all want to be comfortable, secure, safe, and confident in what we believe and how we view the world around us. However, all too often what we believe to be true, isn’t…at least not totally.

I share facts, evidence, figures, and opinions a lot on this site. I do it to help you challenge what the world is telling you is true…to call into question their deceit, their lies.

And most of that time it makes me sound negative, pessimistic, cynical, and demoralizing. I know that, I get it, few people want to hear that and feel those emotions. I am telling you I am not thrilled researching it and writing about it.

Here is my bottom line…in the last 75 years people who were the victims of civil war in their countries consistently said,

“I didn’t know it was that bad. Then overnight it just erupted.”

Ironically they didn’t learn from the Jews in the 1930’s and 1940’s who years later said the same thing. I feel driven to ensure, to the best of my ability, that doesn’t happen here and now. I feel compelled to raise my voice to tell everyone, anyone, who will listen what I see happening. To raise a warning flag to the evil that is transpiring.

I honestly don’t know how much longer I can do this. There are days where I am mentally exhausted. There are days when I see the shear volume of evil around us and it is difficult to cope with as I type away on my keyboard. And as I get older…I find myself more tired.

Now, I must share this with you, I must…

I am not a negative person by default. I truly see the best in people, generally. I have hope when I see the teens in my Sunday School class, they are amazing kids! I love seeing the incredible acts of love and service that take place every day in the world. I marvel at each day’s dawn…and all the opportunities to love and serve each other…to just enjoy the day.

I also know how this all turns out. Evil is winning this battle right now…no intelligent and sane person can think otherwise. But that is only on this worldly stage and only currently. When speaking of individuals and some communities…awe-inspiring things are taking place! I see people’s lives changing for the better, hearts softening, people becoming saints, acts of love and compassion taking place. Discipleship.

I look at history…and evil has always been defeated…eventually. Yes, I know, life can be tough, if not horrific at times, until evil is defeated…but evil has always been defeated. And evil will be defeated this time as well. It will be…I promise you…evil will be defeated!

I don’t have all the answers. I am not sure why we, here and now, have to endure such utter corruption of so many. I don’t know why we are subjected to such oppression, tyranny, violence, and immorality at this time. I just know it will come to an end…He will win.

And when the “win” is celebrated…we will know it was worth the effort, trials, and enduring all manner of rot that was pressed upon us…the fight will have been worth it.

For me…I must write, I must warn, I must raise the flag, I must speak truth to power…at least for now. I pray that in some small way I am helping the side of right…His side. I ask of you this one simple thing…please say a little prayer for me…I could sure use it…say a little prayer for us all.

So let’s ask the question…

As Americans…who are we and what can be said by us about us?

So let me try this out on you…

The American people are not a warlike nation.  The United States is a soldierly one, which means it does not want a war, but does not fear it.  America loves peace but also loves its honor and freedom.

Could you agree with that statement?

Does it sound like America today…a general sentiment of some or most Americans?

Something you could live with, abide, and agree with this statement?

Does it sound reasonable and rational for a national policy for the United States of America?

As Americans, does it sound like something to be proud of?

Ahhhhhhh, before you answer all of that, let’s consider this…

A little Q&A from the Ukraine War article yesterday…

• Q: You were wrong! On 12/11/2021 you said, “Do not for a minute think Biden will defend the Ukraine against Russia.” But Biden is defending Ukraine against Russia.

A: Ah, you are party right. The right part is I did say “Do not for a minute think Biden will defend the Ukraine against Russia.” But you are wrong and I was right. Biden, in his own words, has said the war in Ukraine and the US’s involvement is to do two things; 1) “bleed Russia”, meaning weaken them militarily and economically, 2) remove Putin from Russia’s Presidency.

If Biden was truly “defending Ukraine” he would have already provided the offensive and defensive weapon systems to do so…or have sent in US troops…and he hasn’t. Biden doesn’t care about defending Ukraine…it is all about Biden’s lust for money and power…meaning destroying Russia. Which, by the way, we have no right or authority to do.

And don’t forget in that same post I said the following:

“…if unseen forces that control Biden tell him to go to war, Biden will.”

Which was right…Biden went to war against Russia because he was told to. Answer this…Do you honestly think Biden has the mental capacity left to make any decision? I don’t think Biden even knows where his feet are.

And consider this from my same post:

“…as I’ve written about before should either Russia or China begin an armed conflict with the Ukraine or Taiwan respectively, the other country will make their move as well. The last thing the US wants is a two-front military conflict on the opposite sides of the world with the two other world super-powers…and both Russia and China know it. The US could not win a 2-front armed conflict with Russia and China let alone a two-front war.”

Just some food for thought.

• Q: Are you saying the USA is responsible for all the world’s problems? Sounds like you hate America!

A: Let me guess…you don’t agree with my politics (civil society Libertarian) and/or principles (Constitutional & Eternal)?

First off, I understand your use of the word “all” in your question…passion. But it is obviously wrong, and probably its use was unintentional. But, to make it clear for you and everyone else…no, I do not believe the USA is responsible for all the problems in the world. I would go so far as to say…no, I do not believe the USA is responsible for even most of the problems in the world.

And you know very well I do not hate America. Again, that is your passion speaking not your logical, clear-headed thinking speaking.

OK, moving on…If you had asked the question, Do you think the US government is responsible for many of the world’s problems?

I would say unequivocally “Yes!”

Wars and rumor of wars can be attributed to the US government…look at factual, documented history…including Russia / Ukraine war…we didn’t start it, but we certainly are responsible for it. < click here >

Look at the environmental lunacy taking place…we are the #1 super power in the world (at least for now) and we could have stopped the ridiculously dumb “green movement” and all its insanity…and poverty creation…but we joined in. Not only that…we are pouring trillions of dollars into it! So yeah, we can take the blame for that too.

So go down the list…what world problem is the US government not responsible for…or at least contributed largely to?

But herein lies the difference between you and me…I clearly see a difference between the US government vs the US citizenry. Example: ½ of US citizens disagree with supporting the Ukraine in their war with Russia. But, virtually every US government politician and bureaucrat supports Ukraine in that war. Disparity on a huge scale.

I see American people as amazing…generally speaking…when viewed as individuals. But then you start seeing tribalism take place…and that ends up in politics. And our elected politicians generally become the ruling class…the elites. And that transition moves them into a whole other class…of scumbags.

So don’t confuse the US government and their evil works with the US citizenry that are generally kind and generous.

• Q: Didn’t you say at one point we should be involved in the Ukraine war with Russia?

A: You don’t quite have my words right, in May 2022 I said…

“Fifteen years younger and I would have already been there. So my natural instinct drives me to help the Ukrainian people…but only personally. Our government should not be spending billions of dollars to fund that war. And where exactly will those billions come from? Oh, that’s right…thin air!! But, whose pockets does all that money end up in when we replace the equipment and weaponry we’ve sent to Ukraine?”

So you can see the difference…

• • I said to help them personally.

  • I also said our government should not help them.
