Mayorkas was born in Cuba to Jewish parents, grew up in Beverly Hills, California and attended Beverly Hills High School. He attended college at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1998 Senator Dianne Feinstein, authoritarian and Progressive, recommended him, and he was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the United States Attorney for the Central District of California.

In late 2000, Mayorkas advocated to obtain executive clemency for narcotics trafficker Carlos Vignali Jr., the son of a wealthy Los Angeles businessman. On his last day in office in January 2001, Clinton commuted Vignali’s 15-year prison sentence as per Mayorkas’ request.

In 2008 Obama named him as head of his transition team for the U.S. Department of Justice. Under Obama in 2014 he became Deputy Secretary of DHS.

In 2015 a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report found Mayorkas’ guilty of corruption in the oversight of the EB-5 investor visa program. Mayorkas had given special priority treatment under the program, backed by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid, a well-known corrupt Senator from Nevada who was a dedicated authoritarian and Progressive, an “insider” of monumental proportions.

Rather than being sent to prison, Mayorkas was rewarded by Biden with his appointment as head of the DHS in February 2021. It should be noted that this special treatment/advocacy for entry visas centered almost exclusively on those entering from China. And it has already been proven that Joe and Hunter Biden are financially involved with the Communist Party in China.

In 2022 Mayorkas oversaw the formation of the anti-1st Amendment DHS “Disinformation Governance Board” and was called “a traitor to the Constitution” by members of Congress. He has consistently rejected oversight by Congress, even going so far as to flatly refuse to answer oversight committee member questions regarding the potentially unconstitutional actions of DHS.

Under Obama it was Mayorkas who implemented “cages” for detainees in detention facilities at the southern border. Mayorkas is also a radical “open-border” advocate…and that policy has resulted in a huge increase in border crossings by dangerous criminal elements, foreign terrorists, cartel killers, and a historic spike in border crossing deaths as a result of that policy.

For me, IMO, there is no other conclusion that Mayorkas is little more than a political hack that is dedicated to an authoritarian and totally corrupt US federal government. It is obvious he believes that the federal government is little more than a weapon of power to be used to advance the democratic agenda and their financial interests. And that shouldn’t surprise you considering he was raised in the socialist state of California, educated in one of the most radical left-wing universities in the USA, and a lap dog goon for multiple presidents virtually his entire career.

However, since Mayorkas is now head of the largest armed federal government agency…he is extremely dangerous and a dedicated henchman for those that seek to turn the United States into a totalitarian state.

And here is the irony…at the beginning of the article I mentioned he was the son of Jewish parents. I am sure that some thought that statement represented an anti-Semitic philosophy on my part. No, it was to set the stage for this…

Mayorkas’ father was born in Cuba, but his father’s family fled the Ottoman Empire to avoid persecution of Jews. Mayorkas’ mother was a Romanian Jew whose family escaped the Holocaust and fled to Cuba during WWII. So here we have a person whose family endured and suffered persecution from authoritarian dictatorial fascist governments. And one generation later…it is Mayorkas who now fills the role of the oppressor of freedoms, liberties, and rights as part of an authoritarian dictatorial fascist government. How ironic.

And this man is the head of Department of Homeland Security…with their 240,000+ employees, 165,000 armed personnel it makes it the equivalent of the 19th largest army in the world. How exactly does that make you feel?

Oh, and Hitler referred to Nazi Germany throughout his time there with the term “homeland“? How exactly does that make you feel about the role of DHS in America?

I know how it makes me feel. I also know that history repeats itself. I also know what the definition of fascist is.

I had a very clear interpretation of what Biden’s September 1st “anti-MAGA” speech was. It was a clarifying moment for me. But, more on that a little later in this post. For now…let me share a couple things with you. First, I waited till today to share my thoughts and opinions because I wanted to give myself time to internalize what I saw and what I feel.

I didn’t want to do a kneejerk thing like so many others have done, and there was research that had to happen. And I wanted to ensure that I was accurate and on point…because this was a pivotal moment in the history of the United States and any objective historical account will treat his speech as a defining event in the transformation of the United States of America.

A little background…

Political speeches are usually predictable, void of logic, and rather boring…but occasionally, albeit rarely, they are historic in nature. The best of political speeches are motivational. Martin Luther’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963 is one of those remarkable historical events in my lifetime. King appealed to people’s emotion for a change of heart, change of mind, and a change in direction of not just America but the world. A soul stirring transformational moment in US history if there ever was one.

Then there is Winston Churchill’s 1940 speech to the British people as they were losing the war “…we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…” That speech was part of turning the tide for the British and enabled their state of mind to carry on the struggle against Nazi Germany when all seemed lost.

Since politics is a business, the speaker must motivate people to do as the speaker wishes…even if it is against the listener’s morality. The primary method of doing so is called “pathos”…the Greek word for emotions. In other words, you bypass a person’s mind and appeal to a person’s emotions to do as the speaker wishes. The best politicians are masters at this…whether for good or evil.

Few can deny that Hitler was a motivational speaker…look what evil he managed to get Germans to do starting as early as 1920’s covering the next two decades. He was nearly as strong a force for evil as King and Churchill were for good.

There are two additional methods for speeches and to get people to do as speaker wishes; ethos and logos. Ethos is where the speaker has such a level of credibility and quality of character that merely the character/reputation of the person speaking is enough to motivate people into action. Jesus Christ would be the ultimate example of such a speaker. Logos is using logic as a motivational tool in speaking or writing to persuade people to think or act as desired. And yes…logic is usually the most boring and dull method of speech giving.

Now, for Biden and his “anti-MAGA” speech a few days ago…

I tuned in to watch Biden speak to America…I figured it would be entertaining at the very least. I was wrong, dead wrong. The dramatic setting, Hollywood style intro, and the production overall was so over the top I actually thought I was watching a dystopian movie. As quickly as that thought hit me, it was obvious that is not just a dystopian movie…but a post-apocalyptic movie based on 1984. And then it got worse…Biden opened his mouth over and over again.

The more Biden talked, or more accurately, the more Biden ranted, the scarier the speech got. I have watched a lot of historical Hitler speech films and reenactments…and Biden fit a mold that gave me chills to the center of my soul. The only thing I could think of…Biden was giving a speech to motivate a 2022 Kristallnacht (crystal night). But this one would be different than the November 9 – 10, 1938 horror filled night in Nazi Germany…this one would be directed towards some of our own American citizens in the name of Biden’s democracy.

I never thought in my lifetime would I hear such utter evil come out of an American President’s mouth. The hate, the lies, the call to arms against fellow Americans…all for a political purpose. It was disgusting and as un-American as ever a speech was. Remember the last four words in the definition of fascism, “…forcible suppression of opposition.”

Let me pause for a moment and share full disclosure…I held my nose and voted for Trump twice. Yes, that means I voted for the lesser of two evils twice. And I apologize for that. I have spoken repeatedly of principles over politics and my voting in 2016 and again in 2020 shows my hypocrisy. But the associated self-loathing associated with those votes motivated me to since clarify my views on principles vs politics. I am no Trump lover, let alone a Trump worshiper, as so many people are these days. I objectively see the good he did (i.e. the economy) and the crap he did (i.e. CAF, deficit spending, and anti-2nd Amendment) and the junk he spewed (i.e. ”lock her up”). So this post is not some Biden hating…ra, ra pro-Trump diatribe.

Back to Herr Biden…

Let’s review the definition of fascism, “a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”

Biden’s speech was nothing more than an attempt to, through the use of force to, eliminate a large partisan opponent on the American political scene. The dramatic setting, the presence of the US military, the rhetoric, the vitriol, and the outright lies spewed were overwhelmingly horrific. But, for an America that has been dumbed down, reeducated, and coerced into believing the macabre…it was pretty effective…at least for the Democrats, leftists, Progressives, liberals, and many on the Republican side as well.

The melodramatic theatrical aspect of the speech was obvious and it is reported that Jon Meacham was the primary force behind it all. And if true, would make sense. Jon Meacham is a very radical, far left political operative disguised as a journalist and author. He has been aligned with radical leftist ideology for virtually his entire life. But worse than that…he is devoted to the authoritarian cause. He even wrote a book idolizing President Andrew Jackson…one of the darkest and most evil political powers to ever hold the office of President of the United States. One thing Jon Meacham knows how to do…he knows how to write well and put on a great show…and he did so for Biden.

Wrapped all together…Biden’s speech was nothing more than an attempt to crush the MAGA movement in the most dedicated fascist style because Biden believes in a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader and he sees himself as just that.

But a single speech does not make a country or leader qualify as fascist. So what does?

Here is a partial list of dates Biden endorsed a police state and fascism:

• August 30th – called for unquestioned loyalty to the FBI and denigrated anyone who  questions a police state. He called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment. He sounded violent and deranged.
• August 25th – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment.
• July 11 – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment.
• June 2nd – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment. He declares that the 2nd Amendment isn’t even valid.
• April 7th – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment.
• March 24th – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment.
• March 1st – called on Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment. He declares that the 2nd Amendment isn’t even valid.

And let’s not ignore:

• September 1st – calls Republicans a “clear and present danger” to the US. Calls for violence against MAGA ideology and its followers.
• August 30th – claims MAGA followers do not support the rule of law and labeled them fascists. He further claims that the MAGA organization threatens the lives of FBI personnel/employees. He expresses extremist support for a police state.
• August 25th – calls MAGA movement extremists and semi-fascists.
• May 4th – Calls MAGA followers extremists and the most extreme anti-American organization ever in the history of the USA.

And let’s remember that:

• The Obama/Biden FBI injected actual, literal spies into the 2016 Trump campaign.
• The Obama/Biden FBI & DOJ lied to a secret court regarding Trump.
• The Obama/Biden FBI pursued and “leaked” the whole fake Russiagate scandal in coordination with the Clinton campaign.
• Then it was the FBI that headed the coup against Trump.
• Then the FBI suppressed the Biden investigation that almost certainly handed the 2020 election to Biden.
• Lest we forget…the FBI’s relentless persecution of many of Trump’s former advisors and staff…beyond anything ever seen in the history of the US.

Notice a pattern here?

So you bring all of this together and it is a clear and obvious convergence of a political ideology and government actions that displays:

• Extreme support for a strong central government.
• Strong support for an autocratic government.
• Attempts at extensive and severe economic regimentation.
• A virtual unchecked power for the government to dictate social organization and control.
  

Now, add to all of that:

• Biden’s calls for Congress to violate the 2nd Amendment and his exercising other unconstitutional powers where he has shown that he sees himself as having dictatorial power.
• Then on September 1st calls a large portion of US voting citizens a “clear & present danger” to the country. That is a unambiguous call for the “forcible suppression of opposition.”
  

When you add the totality of Biden’s speeches over the last 6 months he is clearly and undeniably trying to demonize and suppress all actual political opposition from Trump, conservatives, and most Republicans. Then you add in the police state actions of the FBI, DOJ, ATF, and US Marshalls…well, that again pretty obviously points to “forcible suppression of opposition” while confirming the US federal government is an “autocratic government” in every way.

That means…we have a fascist government led by a fascist President. And that is proven by their actions and their own stated ideology. It is not opinion…it is fact reinforced by hard evidence.

Now, back to my impression of Herr Biden’s September 1st speech…when you combine the non-verbal message of the blood red background and the military lurking in the shadows…it reeks of something out of the book 1984. When I listened to Biden’s fiery fascist rhetoric it reminded me of Hitler’s speeches plain as day.

As I see it his speech was a transformational step encompassing all of the prior displays of fascist ideology with his blatant quest for more presidential power…and a more autocratic centralized US federal governmental exercising power and control. The US federal government, the President, the liberals/democrats/progressives/RINOs and many others no longer hide their fascism.

And Biden’s speech should scare the hell out of most people and be a major concern for all preppers, conservatives, libertarians, patriots, Constitutionalists, etc. The radical authoritarians have come out of the shadows, they are no longer masking their intentions, they are now on full display for who they are and what their intentions are.

I have been telling you for years that it was coming…well, it is now here!

And fascism is a subcategory of authoritarianism.

Some notes for any crazies reading this:

• I am not a Republican, nor a Trump lover/supporter.
• I believe in principles over politics.
• I only politically support three things…the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the fundamental principles of our Founding Fathers.
• I don’t look at politics as Republican vs Democrat or left vs right…there is only tyranny vs freedom.
• I think Trump did some good stuff like the economy and energy independence.
• I think Trump sucked on supporting the US Constitution via his opposition to due process and his anti-2nd Amendment actions. And his child-like rantings were unbecoming the office of President. And his obsession with demonizing the media was unhealthy and unwise for our country and the 1st Amendment.
• I don’t think all Democrats are evil, I think the Democratic Party is evil and their ideology represents evil.
• I believe that the Republicans are almost as guilty as the Democrats in our sad state of affairs in the US.
• And finally, Joe Biden is mentally incompetent and is not running our country. He can’t tie his own shoes and takes directions from the Easter Bunny…so who is running the US?

I believe that list of notes should help all the crazies hate me even more…and maybe even pick up a few new crazies and haters.

But folks…you better figure out what you believe in, what your principles are, where your ethics stand, and what your commitment to the US Constitution (rights/freedoms/liberties) really is. Then compare that to how committed our Founding Fathers were…

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

Figure out who you are…do it quickly…the time is drawing shorter…much shorter. Once you have yourself figured out…PREPARE!! Do not delay.

• So have you noticed how much the left-wing media has started talking about “civil war”?
• Do you remember that just recently the FBI went full-on war against conservatives and patriots?
• Why did a US Marshal SWAT team raid an Amish farm?
• Did you hear that the media said Lindsey Graham called for riots?

Yeah, me too. So what does it all mean?

To get the full picture you have to also see that the ATF is now going house-to-house for a variety of

anti-Second Amendment reasons. Then here is the FBI & DOJ who have embarked on a committed program of demonizing anyone and everyone who is conservative, a patriot, a libertarian, or simply believes in the fundamental rights, liberties, and freedoms outlined in the Constitution. The FBI has even gone so far as to raid a former Presidents house! That has never, ever even been considered for any other former President even when the FBI and DOJ knew that there were significant national security crimes involved. And the list goes on and on with what federal government authorities have been doing. And it ties directly into the cooperation/coordination with the leftist media.

This is pretty important…before I go on let’s review “fascism” and what it actually means since Crazy Joe called half the country that. In the most unbiased and objective definition, fascism means “a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”

Yeah, forget all the bullshit definitions that include a reference to “right-wing” or “far right” because those terms, and others similar to them, are added via bias and to advance a specific political agenda of those adding those terms.

So what party does the term “fascism” sound like it applies to more…Republican or Democrat? Test it…does California (D) or Iowa (R) sound more fascist in terms of their state governments? Or, you can think about the former President’s FBI SWAT raid on his home and the large number of the former President’s staff and advisors that have been SWAT raided by the FBI over the last 1-1/2 years…yes? “…forcible suppression of opposition.”

Now to be fair, Republicans are almost as big of advocates of fascism as Democrats. A person only has to look at what the Republican elected officials have done over the last 130 years and it becomes clear that they are in on it. But, Democrats do win the title of “Most Fascist” in their beliefs, advocacy, and actions.

OK…let me get back on track here…Why the original questions and why did I ask you, “What does this all mean?”

In my opinion…Looking at the total picture and the accelerated pace that the federal law enforcement agencies are working against the 2nd Amendment and all things conservative, patriotic, and Constitutional…I see America’s situation getting to a very, very dangerous point for our country and for those of us that identify as patriot, libertarian, or conservative. Basically anyone who advocates for, believes in, or does any of the 188 signs that all federal law enforcement agencies, as well as the DOJ, point towards as signs of being a domestic terrorist. And they are now treating folks as such on a regular basis…and it will get worse.

I see a quickening pace of federal law enforcement going after folks, and I expect they will expand who they go after and do so with extreme actions to make very high-profile examples of the as a message to others. I expect to see these goons coming up with every possible excuse to invade people’s homes with and without search warrants. In any interaction or confrontation they will escalate the situation trying to provoke violent responses to further justify their actions, mainly the use of deadly force. I expect to see more and more absurd charges by these agencies to demonize whoever they wish to attack next. Messaging will become increasingly more important to the FBI than any alleged misdoings.

The media has been, but will increase its use of, radicalized reporting to show any conservative/patriot/libertarian in the worst possible light…especially when it comes to Second Amendment related issues. Additionally in these matters, the media will glorify DOJ and law enforcement actions with terms such a “protecting democracy”, “keeping us safe”, “providing security”, “acting without fear or favor”, etc. Of course, none of that will be true…the media is more about advancing their common agenda.

I also expect to see an increase in the “Bubba Effect” from those on the right, those who have become radicalized, and the mentally ill. Some individuals, and potentially groups, will respond to the increase in federal law enforcement activities with violence of their own. And that will further justify the intrusive and violent actions of law enforcement, especially federal law enforcement using justification terms such as “violent domestic terrorist”, “violent militia extremist”, “Christian Nationalist”, “White Nationalist”, etc.

I want you to understand something very plainly and clearly…this is not a gradual increase I am talking about. And this is not an incremental increase either. This is a significant increase by a full exponential factor! This is the next step in their agenda…and it is a deadly step.

I do not expect to see this major step come to full fruition until after the 2022 elections. Between now and the elections in November 2022 they will use some of this step’s tactics to sway public opinion in an effort to influence/control the election. Yes, just as the FBI did in 2020 when they influenced social media to the extent that Trump was declared the presidential election loser. Yes, just like the FBI/CIA/DOJ did in 2016 when they tried to throw the election to Clinton via the anti-Trump “Russia-gate” hoax.

Once the 2022 elections are complete…then Watch Out! I believe with a probability of 90% that this is when they will make their move to complete the transformation of America. And they will want it completed prior to the 2024 presidential election.

Now, two qualifications…1) should the Republicans win one or both houses of Congress then I see their plan could be thwarted a bit. No, not stopped, not at all. But, the Republicans may decide to pause the plan long enough for them to be the power force in the transformation vs the Democrats. 2) there could be an event that I will not discuss at this time that could forestall their plans.

So here is my bottom line to you…Do what you have to do to be prepared for this eventuality. Because it is coming and coming very soon. It has been building for 130 years but I believe we are at the final stage of their transformation plan. Nothing has stopped it yet…it has been successfully implemented so far by both party’s elected and unelected officials in Washington DC and in various state capitals around the country.

There is nothing that I see at this point that can or will stop it. You must be prepared for it! Your family, your neighborhood, your congregation, your community can be an oasis of Constitutional principles…but you have to prepare for that. Do so now.

I really just wanted to talk with you this morning…just share a couple of things that have been rolling around in my head. Basically just do a brain dump of some issues that I see as important and what/how I feel about them.

The things I want to talk about are:

• New SitRep
• DOJ/FBI
• CDC
• 2020 Election
• Fear Porn and Sensationalism

Then there is a summary where I want you to consider a solution…or at least part of the solution. You know…end the week, and start the weekend, on a high note.

I hope this isn’t too much for you to read today. But, you know how I get when I start writing…

New SitRep –

I haven’t put out a SitRep for a while, actually since May. Why? Coz you can see what is happening…happening all around you. Here are just some of the observations we’ve seen lately:

• Personal debt hit another new historic high…coming up on $17trillion.
• Housing market is in its early stages of another crash…similar to 2008 only worse. A new record was hit in the number of home sales contracts where buyers backed out of the contract.
• Housing costs are at a historic high.
• People have the lowest savings rate since they began tracking it.
• Peoples’ income raises are running at 1/2 of the inflation rate and those receiving the highest income raises are those in the top income earner brackets.
• Actual inflation is running between 15 – 20%.
• The Inflation Reduction Act…and oxymoron if there ever was one… will pump $300 – $700billion into the economy adding to an already horrible inflation situation.

I mean we could go on and on and on about the situation in the US. And I mean every and all angles of the situation in the US. But, it is not just the US…it is the entire world! Look at the UK, their inflation is running double what it is in the US. Europe is crumbling apart; their energy issues alone could crush them. Europe has no idea how they are going to have enough natural gas for heating this winter. Their electric grid is already overtaxed and when the winter hits and there isn’t enough gas for heat…what happens to their electric grid when the electric heaters get turned on? And remember who controls/produces most of the natural gas for Europe…Russia.

Then there is the looming farm/food crisis and add to that the on-going supply chain issues. And then let’s not forget the immense problems in China. Their factory shutdown rate alone could trigger a disaster there…which would be not be a ripple to us…it would be a tsunami.

Back to the “why”…I did about 30 hours of research in the last four weeks on issues that I thought were significant enough to topple the US and the world further into the abyss. But as I started to formulate all of that into a SitRep I realized that you are seeing all of these events as well. Anyone who has been coming to my website knows I have laid out what is happening in clear and concise terms for years…including the reasons behind it all. So why should I write a SitRep that simply reinforces what I have already told you about things you too are seeing?

DOJ/FBI –

This is the most significant thing I have investigated and researched…ever!

We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that:

• The DOJ has singled out Trump to persecute/prosecute more than any other President in the history of the USA.
• The FBI injected “spies”…actual spies into the Trump campaign. We know that the FBI was behind the fake Russian Trump Dossier scandal. We know that the DOJ and FBI lied to a secret FISA court to forward their scheme (i.e. coup) against Trump. Did you ever ask yourself why we would have a “secret court system” to begin with?
• The FBI decided not to pursue a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s 13 felony violations of national security laws…actual crimes. The FBI even returned a laptop to a Clinton staffer who had not “wiped” incrementing information off the hard drive.
• The FBI, under James Comey, was the lead agency in the coup to overthrow President Trump.

And the list goes on and on and on! But to me the most damning is not any of that…it is the FBI’s and DOJ’s leadership appearances before Congress and the testimony they give…or didn’t give. As you know Congress has oversight authority over Executive Branch agencies. This is the “check & balance” laid out in our government. It helps ensure that no single branch, or Department, of government gets too much authority or power.

So there I am watching hours and hours of video testimony by DOJ and FBI leadership personnel before a Congressional oversight committee. It was sickening beyond imagination. So our elected officials ask questions of the unelected leadership of the most powerful department of the US government…and the most powerful law enforcement agency in the US government…and it is amazing what takes place.

These DOJ & FBI scumbag goons mocked, avoid answering, and subtly threatened these Congressmen!!!

All of these sessions, under any other circumstances, would be considered a ridiculous slapstick circus act. But related to our Constitutional Republic it is nothing less that tragic and horrific. It leads me to only a single solitary and appalling conclusion…The DOJ is the lead Department in the US government in transforming the USA into a fascist autocratic ruled nation. And the DOJ uses the FBI as its “muscle” toward that goal. And the FBI is formidable to say the least…they are an army 35,000 strong with virtually unaccountable and unbridled power.

As I listened to the exchanges between Congressmen and DOJ & FBI officials it was clear that the DOJ/FBI hold elected officials in utter contempt. The DOJ/FBI officials can’t believe that mere Congressmen would dare challenge the power and authority of the DOJ & FBI. It was both disgusting and alarming to watch. But, it clearly and unmistakably demonstrates where this country is headed. You need to be aware of this and plan/prepare accordingly…especially pray.

CDC –

It was interesting when I first heard about the CDC internal review of itself in regards to its response to COVID. I thought to myself this ought to be interesting in what they come up with. Thinking they might actually do a solid after action report and list failures/successes and most importantly how they could improve. I let my guard down for just a minute…shame on me!

So their massive report was filled with essentially boredom, self-aggrandizement, self-justification of their mistakes, etc. Pretty much standard fare for a government entity to let itself off the hook for their considerable missteps and incompetence. But, I should have known…and like I said I let my guard down.

The CDC concluded, among other things, that they; 1) needed more funding from Congress, 2) would take unto themselves additional legal power and authority without the approval of anyone, 3) ask Congress for sweeping additional legal authority to control US citizens in the future. Imagine that!

2020 Election –

Regardless of election fraud claims…that are mostly a dead horse at this point…we have proof that the US federal government came to the aid of the Biden campaign to defeat Trump.

In 2019 the FBI had procession of Hunter Biden’s laptop. The FBI knew of the extensive criminal activity documentation/evidence contained on the laptop.  And that information clearly implicated not just Hunter Biden but Joe Biden as well in extensive criminal activity. An internal FBI memo leaked to a Republican Congressman shows that FBI leadership told FBI investigators to suppress the investigation.

In September and early October 2020 the FBI suspected that some of that incriminating criminal information was about to be leaked/released publicly through sources.

Shortly after the FBI became aware of the potential leak of information approximately 3 weeks before election the FBI met with, and informed, social media companies that the Hunter Biden laptop story was a “Russian disinformation campaign” and to “suppress it”! This was revealed by Facebook CEO Zuckerberg himself.

How’s that for a Constitutional Republic? How’s that for America’s top law enforcement agency? How’s that for your respect of the FBI? How’s that for collusion between social media and the US government? Does this remind you of Nazi Germany, maybe the old Soviet Union…how about a banana republic dictatorship?

Fear Porn and Sensationalism –

I am growing sick and tired of, disappointed in, and contemptuous of, many (if not most) so-called prepper websites and YouTubers. A couple months ago I got the sense of growing panic and despair in the prepper community. I kinda had an idea of why but I wanted to make sure I was on point. So my research started. That research has been intense but off and on since June…but not consistent due to responsibilities here at the glamstead and in our community. But the results of that research is pretty dang consistent…and disheartening.

Let me address the YouTubers first…most of the videos are pure unadulterated junk and trash. Most of the “information” is opinion only…and really, really bad opinion…not based in facts. Most of these videos have sensationalistic titles (yes, clickbait) that masks trash content. There all kinds of war is imminent, food gone, cattle killed, burning down of, and all manner of stuff that simply isn’t true.

OK, in their defense…some of the information is true…such as food shortages. BUT, it is a particular food item that is in short supply at a particular location. But the vast bulk of the content of these prepper videos is simply not true…or blown WAY out of proportion.

So you ask, “Why would they produce such content?”

Valid question…the answer is money. See, these so-called prepper experts on YouTube make money from YouTube for each view of their videos. And it can be huge, HUGE money! Some of these folks are make $30,000 – $180,000 per month from this stank filled crap. I would strongly urge you to stop watching these garbage sensationalism videos. You are feeding the beast, you are filling your head with septic tank sludge, and you are potentially making decisions based on utterly false and fake information…stop!

Watching that junk is a recipe for disaster…a disaster for you and your family.

Now, prepper websites…a touchy subject for some of you. Most prepper websites are run by people who are not well-versed in preparing for emergencies, disasters, or larger grid-down incidents. Some are self-taught, some have learned their knowledge from others who are not well trained or educated in preparedness, some are only qualified in a single aspect of preparedness such as tactical skills, and most are outright frauds (whether they know it or not). But, unfortunately…they look nice, talk nice, act nice, sound nice, and appear as experts…and they are leading you to disaster…maybe even destruction.

The worst of these websites are the social media prepper websites. Why are they the worst? Because they suck you into an endless stream of static and bullshit information. They hook you into countless hours of reading and responding to a never ending amount of crap that is mostly worthless. And all those hours of spending on those sites wastes your time when you could be doing something productive like improving your preps…or helping your neighbor…or spending time with actual real people doing actual real things. But worst of all…it is filling your head with garbage…mostly useless trash information that has little to no value…and it negatively impacts your Situational Awareness.

Why do those sites exist? Here we go…some will say, “to create an online community of like-minded preppers”…bullshit! Those prepper social media websites, and most all prepper websites, exist for a single reason…MONEY!!!! And that is especially true for paid websites…they want money, lots of money…and they can make lots of money. Let’s say a social media prepper website has 15,000 paid members and a subscription costs $60 per year. The website owner makes $900,000 just off the membership fees. Then add on book sales, trinkets and such they sell, and they might even sell precious metals at a high premium. And then there are “added” or “premium” content fees. You could easily see one of these sites making millions off of preppers.

Think about it for a minute…if someone was so concerned about what is happening in the world, if they cared so much for preppers’ well-being, if they were so dedicated and committed to helping/teaching preppers…then why are they charging people to do so? Why wouldn’t they simply get that information out there for people to use and benefit from to save their family’s lives? But…they like their millions of dollars!

Even the non-paid websites…look at the sheer volume of their website ads. Look at all the stuff they sell. Now you get it…hopefully.

Please, please, I beg you…stop filling your head with crap, stop falling for fear-porn, ignore the sensationalism, stop feeding the beast with your time and money. It is taking your precious time and hard-earned money away from doing the right and needful things for your family. There are plenty of websites out there that are not “pay” sites and not filled with junk advertising where you can learn skills and gather all the information that you need. Please stop feeding the beast!

Summary –

We are on the verge of this country being ripped apart. The very fabric of our society, our founding principles, everything that makes the USA great is being destroyed thread by thread. And it is all intentional. But, it doesn’t have to be fatal (theoretical or actual) to you and your family, or your congregation or your community. But you have to fight it!

No, not fight it in terms of pick up your gun and attack the capital. We already saw the results of those morons and idiots (and yes, some well-intentioned but misguided folks as well) who did just that on January 6th. I am talking about fighting what is happening in an entirely different way.

Think of each thread being ripped from the fabric of America’s greatness. Now, look at each thread that either affects you or that you could affect. OK, go with that…think about the ways you can counter those threads being ripped out. Then simple…go accomplish those things…or at the very least work at it.

Who are ripping those threads out? Primarily it is the US federal government pulling and tearing those threads as fast as they can. Everything from the USDA working with the US Marshals attacking farmers, the President attacking the oil & gas industry, the ATF attacking the 2nd Amendment and law-abiding US citizens, the FBI and DOJ attacking a former President, the Fed attacking the US economy, DOI/BLM attacking ranchers, FDA attacking individuals and churches, EPA attacking manufactures, social media attacking anything non-Progressive, mainstream media attacking anything non-Democrat, FBI and DHS attacking conservatives and patriots, public education system attacking everything historic and promoting everything socialistic…you get the idea.

Simply figure out how you can resist those threads from being ripped out of your life…in a peaceful, non-violent way.

Examples:

• Get out of the mainstream economy the most you can; buy at farmer’s markets, buy at garage sales, buy meat direct from a cattle rancher, barter some of your excess garden vegetables with your neighbors. Trade your skills for other folks’ skills.
• Don’t buy into the FBI propaganda and public relations; see them for who they are.
• Don’t believe a single thing the DOJ says.
• Don’t let law enforcement on you property, especially in your house, without a warrant.
• Never talk with a federal agent without a lawyer present.
• Stay away from 90% of all mainstream media outlets.
• Garden, can, dehydrate, ferment, and freeze as much of your own fruit and produce as possible.
• Learn about and understand the ATF is the most unconstitutional federal law enforcement agency ever created. It exists specifically and solely to destroy the 2nd Amendment and imprison US citizens.
• If you belong to a political party…leave it.
• Develop strong principles, morals, and ethics…don’t compromise them.
• If you belong to a church that supports abortion…leave it and find a Christ-centered church to join.
• If you have children in public schools…try your best to homeschool…or at least provide education to your children that counters the anti-American, pro-Socialist/Communist crap they learn in public schools.
• Learn and teach history.
• Figure out how to make a great living without going to college. Professions such as electricians, plumbers, builders, mechanics, computer programmers and technicians, and a wide range of other occupations that pay as good or better than college educated jobs…and without the 10’s of thousands of $’s of debt that college requires.
• Become as independent of the government, utilities, media, school systems, and the economy as possible.

Yes, some of those are easier said than done, some may be impossible for you…but not everything. Do whatever you can, the best you can. Come up with your own ideas and solutions. Do something!

When you listen to real folks talk about their lives…then what is important to them…and then the little things that make a difference to them…you quickly see how you can make subtle but meaningful differences each and every day in peoples’ lives.

The single, difference making, most often talked about thing in a person’s life…is knowing that someone else understands and cares.

So what does that mean to you? That is a no brainer…be nice to people. Yup, that’s it. Listen to someone, have empathy for them, maybe even sympathy for them, SHOW them that in some act of yours. Maybe just a smile, maybe buy them lunch and talk, maybe just take a walk with them and listen, let them merge into traffic in front of you, avoid road rage towards another, and some more:

• Cut a neighbor’s grass for them.
• Open a door for someone.
• Change a tire for an elderly couple or mom with kids on the side of the road.
• Take a meal to a needy family.
• Take a not-so-close friend shooting for a morning.
• Join a Neighborhood Watch group.
• Form a Neighborhood Watch group.
• Take some garden vegetables to your neighbor.
• Weed a neighbor’s garden for them.
• Ask someone to go to church with you.
• Go to church every Sunday yourself…and listen to the Spirit while you are there.
• Live your religion.
• Invite a family that you know to come over for a lunch.
• Attend a class or seminar on the Constitution.
• Start a Constitution study group.

There are thousands of ways to help keep America from being ripped apart. You folks are smart, some of the brightest on the Internet…figure it out…look for ways to rebuild the fabric of goodness that is America.

I promise that as you perform these acts of selflessness, these acts of kindness and service…you will find yourself:

• In a better state of mind.
• Physically and spiritually healthier.
• Smiling more and being smiled at more.
• Happier in your family life in many ways.
• And better prepared to face what is happening and the darkness that is rapidly approaching.

If you read Ecclesiastes 3 it says there is a time for everything. In verse 8 it says there is a time to love, a time hate (translation means “abhor”), a time of war and a time for peace. For me, I see this as true today as ever! I see this time as a time to love God, love all that is good…abhor all that is evil. I also see this as a time for peace that goes along with that “time for love” and it is NOT a time for war. That time may very well come (I believe it will)…but it is NOT now.

Don’t get caught up in all this talk of war…it won’t get you anywhere but in trouble. Think of the ways you can positively affect your world and those around you. Don’t get sucked into war, violence, etc. It is NOT the time to do so!

I will tell you point blank…the DOJ/FBI and every other federal law enforcement agency are just looking for ways to trap, prosecute, and even kill preppers, patriots, conservatives and anyone else who resists this insidious transformation of America. Don’t give them a reason to come after you.

Be a light…be a light to others…don’t hide it…let it shine so you can bring others to a better understanding of what is happening…and what can be done to solve it.

You can help others, you can help their families, you can help this country and even the world. But right now…that help comes in the form of love of, and service to, others. Be that person.

• I read your “Brand new to prepping…where do I start?” article and I wish I had read something like that before I started prepping. My wife isn’t exactly on the same page as I am when it comes to buying and storing preps. What should I do?

Firsts off…a marriage is far, far more important than prepping…any prepping…period! Second…I am really glad you enjoyed and found value in the brand new article. It’s great to hear folks feedback when they find useful info.

Couple thoughts from personal experience…stay balanced. Don’t become a prepper fanatic or obsessed with any single aspect of prepping. An abrupt change of behavior, and especially fanaticism, can scare any spouse…and children.

Also, I found it helpful to share an idea with my wife…I told her that food storage can help reduce household expenses come retirement time. And during one conversation my wife shared the following, “At least you aren’t spending money on booze, cigarettes, or gambling.” I took it as kind of a compliment.

Another strategy I found helpful was using the layering method. Buying only what I needed in an organized fashion kinda kept it all under control while still prepping. <click here to learn more about layering>

After a couple of years my wife started seeing the value in prepping based on current events at the time. She has become more and more sold ever since.She is 100% onboard now. But I had to be patient, understanding, cautious, and remember that my marriage to her was far more important than prepping. There is a lot to be said for, “Happy wife, happy life.”

The key was communication and not getting her mad at me or frustrated with what I was doing…and being balanced.

So how do you handle “balance” in a prepper life?

The concept comes from a class I took many decades ago. The speaker talked about wagon wheels and how each spoke had to be the same diameter, length, and strength. And the spokes had to be contained within a rim to hold it all together. I think the same concept can be applied to prepping.

I also think that there is a good case for the spoked wheel approach after an event occurs…be it an emergency, disaster, or a grid-down incident.

Yes, I included a lot of religious focus because I am a believer. If your not…then modify the wheel accordingly…or consider becoming a believer.

• What would you say is the #1 rule for a complete collapse of the entire system?

Same as it would be for any emergency, disaster, or grid-down (i.e. complete collapse)…Rule #1 Don’t be stupid!

Meaning, think about you are doing and don’t do stupid stuff. Pretty freaking simple, eh?

Examples: 1) don’t try to hold off a mob of 100 people, 2) don’t get into a gun fight over a 5gal can of gas, 3) don’t let your neighbor’s kids starve to death, 4) don’t run your generator when the entire neighborhood is quiet and dark, 5) don’t tell everyone about your preps, especially your food, 6) don’t brag about or show off all your guns & ammo, 7) don’t prepare for a Walking Dead scenario, 8) don’t vote/act like a Democrat…or most Republicans.

If you want to know more specifically how not to be stupid…read L.I.P.S. <click here>

If you want to be aware of issues coming at you so you can avoid being stupid you could read about Situational Awareness. <click here>
