The Truth –

As most of you know and are plenty aware of, truth is very hard to find now a days. It is rarely found in society as is self-evident by the “woke culture”. It is often even absent from our churches’ pulpits. Our government schools offer up only a very slanted version of agenda driven truth. Mostly government schools forward an agenda full of lies and degradation for the purpose of promoting the acceptance of authoritarianism. I propose truth is never found anymore from the mouth pieces of our government. And I imply…at any level of government, but especially so at the federal level.

Can you point to a single instance where the federal government spoke the truth…the entire truth…in any given situation?

Remember I am a former US government employee. I was present in planning sessions and even press briefings when half-truths, even outright lies, were presented by Public Information Officers, press secretaries, and government leadership.

Our elected politicians, especially Presidents, have become masters at providing false information, or only putting forth those small bits of information that uphold their personal and/or political agenda. Can you name a single instance where a politician spoke the entire truth concerning anything?

I can remember clearly such blatant lies such as Nixon denying the break-in, Clinton forcefully denying having had sex with Monica, and Bush swearing that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction ready to unleash on the civilized world. The list of such government lies would number in the tens of thousands. I would actually put forward a challenge…has the government actually spoken the whole truth about anything ever?

My point? Can you believe anything the government or any politician tells us?

So what do you believe? Simple question, that which you know to be true.

How do you know it is true? You have to be informed, honest, open-minded, and independent of malicious agendas. It is even better if you can be free of unhealthy bias…or at least have your bias in check.

For me…I never, ever believe that any politician or government official is telling the truth because they have a proven, documented history of lying to and misleading the American public. You have to find and know the truth yourself…or at the very least be skeptical of what truth is represented to be by suspect entities.

Our Constitutional Republic and Justice –

I already stated a fact earlier…our Constitutional Republic is dead, it has been purchased for gold and silver, and democracy is now being used to rule us. This is our Founding Fathers’ nightmare…a dreaded perfect storm at its very worst.

Justice, as is clearly seen today is a multi-tiered system. There is the lowest tier…the one that is applied to you and I. We are subject to every whim of law enforcement officer, every District/Prosecuting Attorney, IRS agent, Judge, government bureaucrat, etc. We are held accountable and illegally persecuted far more often than anyone else -any other class of people- in the system.

The next tier are those that are rich and/or powerful…but not the ruling class/elites. The rich/powerful are far less likely to be bothered by law enforcement or anyone else in the judicial system…unless they run afoul of someone in that system. When they are prosecuted they tend to get far less penalizing sentences, put in less severe prison environments, and they tend to be let out of prison sooner.

Finally there is the ruling class and elites. Seldom are they ever brought into the judicial system. And when they are, it is only because the violated some “rule”…or hurt/insulted someone further up the food chain. A perfect example is Hilary Clinton. She violated numerous national security laws, each a high-level felony, but she was never even charged let alone arrested and brought into court. Even the investigation was a cover-up masterminded by none other than the FBI Director himself.

There is no longer “justice” in our legal system…it is a caste system…at best. Run up against the powerful…and you pay a steep price in the judicial system…or you might be outright murdered on the street or in the shadows by some goon enforcer from within that system (i.e. Seth Rich, Peter W Smith, Victor Thorn, Vince Foster, and hundreds of others). But the evidence is clear, the facts and stats speak for themselves.

Latest Perfect Example: Duncan Lemp. In 2020 the 21-year old Duncan Lemp was trying to help the patriot movement the best way he knew how…website development, his speciality. He had offered his website programming services to several well-known patriot and right-wing groups. And that made him a target of the leftist goon enforcers.

In early 2020 a SWAT team raided his parent’s home where Duncan and his pregnant girlfriend were living. His “crime” a gun charge, allegedly he was in the procession of a gun for which he was not eligible. During the raid, according to an actual eye witness, he was shot to death in his bed while asleep next to his pregnant girlfriend.

So let’s look into some interesting facts related to the situation:

1. The supposed reason for his ineligibility to possess the firearm was based on a juvenile record…which was sealed and no judge had ordered the information released to any law enforcement agency.
2. There was no evidence presented that he was a high-risk suspect when police applied for the no-knock warrant.
3. It was a no-knock raid, executed well before dawn when the police knew that everyone would be asleep and most vulnerable to confusion…and easiest to kill.
4. All the LEO body cams were turned off during the raid, as well as all dash cams.
5. All non-LEO witnesses, including an eye witness to his execution, had one story of Duncan’s murder…all LEOs had another story…with no body cams or non-LEO witnesses to back up the LEO version.
6. When the parents of Duncan started showing up at protests for the killing of their son by police…the county prosecutor threatened any Lemp family members who attended a protest over his killing with a $5000 fine and a year in jail.

Now…tell me about the US justice system!

Our Society –

So with this subject comes the good & the bad.

Let me start with the “good”…and there is plenty of it…but it is all anecdotal. We all know people personally, and see even more good folks doing all sorts of amazing things in our communities. There are many, many incredible people working their tails off providing service to others. And that is a wonderful thing!

But the larger picture and the actual statistics show that they are the exception, not the rule. The facts and statistics show a bleaker picture of our society.

Let me point out the #1 problem currently…with the installation of the radical leftist Biden/Harris regime we see tens of billions of dollars being earmarked/dedicated/budgeted for a drastic increase in infanticide. And not only do we see that expansion of infanticide domestically…we see that same poisonous commitment being spread around the world. I can’t think of anything more insane, more evil, more criminal than having a goal of killing babies in the womb…and working tirelessly to accomplish it…all over the world.

As I have written about not all that long ago we are seeing a spike in crime in the US, much of that increase is in murder and other violent crimes. There are many reasons for it…and it doesn’t matter a bit why…suffice to know the situation is bad and getting worse.

I have close friends, family, and acquaintances that are cops, current, retired, and former. It’s bad, real bad. Departments are losing large numbers of personnel quickly. There are a wide variety of reasons, everything from lack of support, scared of legal problems, public views/opinions, scrutiny, etc. The only area of LEO community that is thriving is federal law enforcement. They are hiring like crazy and people are flocking to those agencies. People that have a mental predisposition for loving forced authority are finding a welcoming home in the federal LEO agencies. And if you think that is a good thing…then you are on the wrong website and on the wrong side of history.

I could write a whole article on the problems facing our police right now…but this is not the time or place. Let me share one thing now…police in this country are hurting…as individuals and as departments. And it is getting worse and will get much, much worse.

I do have to note one thing that gives me some hope that it could be worse but isn’t…a small glimmer of hope…the trial of Derek Chauvin. If you haven’t heard, Derek Chauvin is the bad cop that killed George Floyd. He is on trial now in Minneapolis, Minnesota for that murder. Finally, finally, there is a break in the “blue line”!!!! Fellow officers, supervisors, his Chief, and other LEO experts are united in the fact the Derek Chauvin did in fact kill that man. Hallelujah!!!

4/20/2021 Note: Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd. This is a major victory for justice against the thousands of killer/bad cops that roam our streets as thugs with badges. Be very thankful for this conviction…and hopefully many, many more to come!

If we could just turn that small glimmer of hope, a broken blue line, into a wave, then into a tsunami, having the tens of thousands of good police turn against the thousands of bad cops…throw all the bad ones the under the bus. Then when the dust settles we, the public/society, could learn to trust the police again…and the good cops left would do their jobs to serve and protect us, the citizens. But we will have to wait and see if things get better…and they really, really need to get better. I fear they won’t.

One side note…don’t ever expect that the federal agency law enforcement folks to get better…they simply won’t…they love their authoritarian ways too much. They are a blight on this country a mile wide. And that comes as no surprise…they are not authorized under the Constitution. They only exist to grow the power of the federal government and protect politicians, bureaucrats, and the US government structure/operations from US citizens who wish only for a restoration of rights, freedoms, and liberties.

A good example of the bad federal LEO agencies is the new Director of the ATF that Biden/Harris want to install…David Chipman. Again, I could write and entire article about him. But let’s stick with the basics:

1. He is a former ATF SWAT officer (25 years) known for his well-documented violent tendencies against US citizens.
2. He was an active player in the Waco Massacre where nearly 80 men, women, and children were burned alive. And remember that horrible event began with an ATF raid, where with guns blazing the ATF stormed a building full of men, women, and children.
3. And it is clearly documented with testimony that Chipman stated that the people in the Davidian building shot down two ATF helicopters with .50cal military weapons. None of which was ever true, yet he was never held accountable for his lies and false testimony.
4. And since his retirement he has been employed as a lobbyist by multiple radical leftist anti-gun groups.
5. He has spoken rabidly and repeatedly against US citizens being allowed to own ordinary and common guns.

Do you really have to wonder why Biden/Harris would pick such a radical antiConsitutionalist to head an agency NOT authorized by the Consitution?

The answer…To bring in a radical authoritarian with a single purpose…dismantle the Second Amendment.

What part of that doesn’t everyone understand?

Why do I mention this under the heading of “Society”? Because it is another indicator that our society has changed, is changing, and will change…to the point of making the collapse complete and irreversible. And this leftist totalitarian Chipman is a big player in destroying what’s left of our society…a bigger player than you may think.

Finally, church affiliation…it sucks and is getting worse…at a very rapid pace!! Now, don’t get me wrong…just sitting in a pew and calling yourself religious isn’t all that impressive to me…and doesn’t mean all that much to society. It is more what a person does, their service to others and the love they show, rather than sitting in a pew.

But the research shows the “macro” picture…and that picture is bleak and getting worse. As more and more abdicate religion and religious affiliation…it shows a clear trend line that they are also abandoning the Judeo-Christian values that helped formed this country 240 years ago. Those Judeo-Christian values formed the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. As that foundation crumbles it is replaced with situational ethics and a belief that rights, freedoms, and liberties come not from God but from the government. And what the government gives…can be taken away.

Our US society is shot…lost…and getting worse. But that is the “macro” view only. And that is important as you will see when you read the “Summary”.

The Military –

This one will stir the hornets’ nest a whole bunch!

For those of us that are old enough…we remember the Vietnam War. Some of us even served during that war. We remember very well that the military fell out of vogue to a very, very low point in the 1970’s. It was tough for us to be in the military during those times. While I was never called a “baby killer” or spit on…many of my fellow veterans were…maybe even you.

Now fast forward…today we revere the military…especially those individuals who have served more so than the military “establishment”. But I ask “Why?”

Let me rewind to the Civil War. During the Civil War obscene amounts of money were made by companies supplying both sides of that horrific four years. It is here we find the true origins/growth of military-industrial lobbyists…especially during the Grant presidency. So the 1860’s was the real birth of the military-industrial / Federal Government cabal.

Since the 1860’s let’s review the facts…Dismissing the 45 or so wars and/or military conflicts the US was involved in before the late 1860’s, there are the following –

1. Second Franco-Mexican War 1865
2. Korean War 1871
3. Hawaiian War 1887
4. Mexican War 1891
5. Second Samoan Civil War 1898
6. Spanish–American War 1898
7. Philippine–American War 1899
8. Philippine War 1899
9. China War (Boxer Rebellion) 1899
10. Mexican War (Border War) 1910
11. Cuban War (Negro Rebellion) 1912
12. Nicaragua War 1912
13. Mexican War (Occupation of Veracruz) 1914
14. World War I 1914
15. Haitian War (Occupation of Haiti) 1915
16. Dominican Republic War (Occupation of the Dominican Republic) 1916
17. Russian Civil War 1918
18. Word War II 1939
19. First Indochina War 1946
20. Korean War 1950
21. Iranian War (Operation Ajax) 1953
22. Laotian Civil War 1953
23. Lebanon War 1958
24. Cuban War (Bay of Pigs Invasion) 1961
25. Conga War (Simba Rebellion) 1964
26. Vietnam War 1965
27. Dominican Civil War 1965
28. Cambodian Civil War 1967
29. War in South Zaire 1978
30. Lebanese Civil War 1982
31. Invasion of Grenada 1983
32. Invasion of Panama 1989
33. Gulf War 1990
34. Somali Civil War 1992
35. Bosnian War 1992
36. Haitian Civil War 1994
37. Kosovo War 1998
38. War in Afghanistan 2001
39. Nepalese Civil War 2002
40. Iraq War I 2003
41. Libyan War 2011
42. Uganda War 2011
43. Iraq War II 2014
44. Syrian War 2014
45. Yemeni Civil War 2015
46. Second Libyan Civil War 2015

That’s 46 fairly major military engagements for the US military in the last 160 years. That’s almost a war every 3 years. And it includes two major world wars…and many wars that included multiple countries from around the world. And many of the listed wars overlapped each other with the US involved in multiple concurrent wars.

And 2/3 of those wars occurred since the first socialist US President (FDR) in the 1930’s.

And the majority of those wars were started/initiated by the US…and most of those by the USA invading a sovereign foreign country.

Before I continue:

• Note #1 – This doesn’t include some 40 more minor armed conflicts that the US got involved in during that same 160-year time period.
• Note #2 – The “Progressive Era” in the US began about 1890, shortly after the beginning of the referenced time period.
• Note #3 – WWII was an absolute necessity to stop Nazi Germany from exterminating a whole race of people and taking over a good chunk of the modern industrial world.

And what do we have to show for all that war activity? Nearly two million dead US military personnel…and trillions upon trillions of dollars poured into the pockets of the military-industrial complex. So I beg the question…was it worth it? Seriously…was it worth all that war?

In addition to that question let me ask another; did we win the war in Afghanistan? How about the Iraq War of the early 2000’s? Did we win the Vietnam or Korean wars?

Let me revert to our WWII victory over Germany and Japan…we unquestionably won that war. And for good reason! It had to be won! And the world is far better off without the Nazis running it.

And now let me go back to Iraq and Afghanistan…Are they better off now than before we went to war against them? Is the world better off?

Well, lets’ look at Iraq…we bombed them back to the Stone Age…and their country looks like it. While obliterating that country the US military killed about 250,000 Iraq civilians (exact number is unknown, possibly as high as 500,000) while US military suffered less than 5,000 military personnel killed but another 30,000+ injured US personnel. And all for what? Tell me…for what!?! What was gained? Even do a cost-benefit analysis…was it worth all that death and destruction?

In Afghanistan the numbers are estimated to be well over 300,000 Afghans killed since we started a war with them 20 years ago. US military deaths are about 2,500 and another 21,000 wounded. And they were already in the Stone Age…we just bombed them deeper into it.

So was either sh*thole country worth the war with them?

Let’s look at it this way…the total minimum estimated cost of those two conflicts alone amount to a total of $5,000,000,000,000 ($5trillion). That’s a staggering $3trillion for Afghanistan…Iraq by comparison is a super-saver bargain coming in at only $2trillion. Viewed another way…those two wars amount to nearly 80% of our current national debt. Or look at it this way…it cost every US man, woman, and child $66,000 to fight those two wars. Heck of a deal, eh? (note #1: some cost estimates for those two wars exceeds $8trillion. note #2: amount was edited on 12/13/2021 due to error in original article.)

But, where did all those trillions go? Granted some went to the men and women of the military who served there in the form of salary and benefits. But, the vast, vast majority of it when to who???? Yup, the military-industrial complex that supplied all those bullets, bombs, and “services”.

Now, here is the tough question…What do we, the United States of America, have to show for 7,500 military personnel dead and another 51,000 wounded…and $22trillion spent? Seriously, what example can we hold up and be proud of!?! Tell me!!!

Honestly speaking…what do we have to show for the 28 wars/conflicts since WWII? Seriously…what do we have to show for it…show me!!

Let me digress for a minute before I make my final two points in this section. We won our independence from an oppressive British tyranny through a war. We had to beat them again in a war about 20 years later. So our country is founded in blood, death, and war. But, in my opinion it was well worth it. We came away with the first Constitutional Republic and a Constitution that guarantees rights and freedoms.

Since 1950 (the last 70 years) what war was “worth it” anywhere near to that bench mark of the American Revolution? What did we gain?

So now I ask another tough question…Is the United States a war-mongering country?

I propose that the facts clearly show we are a war-mongering country. No matter how we justify it…the US likes to be in wars and other military conflicts around the world…the facts show that to be absolutely true. You cannot deny the facts.

America has a long history of honoring military personnel. One of those people some folks tend to revere is General Sherman of the Civil War. But, is he deserving of anything but a war crimes court? Sherman graduated from the United States Military West Point Academy that we have cherished throughout American history. Sherman looks to be a model example of the US military. And he was a winning Union General, right? Pretty good résumé…right?

In September 1864 Atlanta was abandoned by Confederate soldiers leaving only civilians. But Sherman had his 40,000 US Army military soldiers burn it to the ground…along with killing most every civilian in sight that was left in the city. The women even had to endure days of rape before some met their deaths. It is well-documented that his men, as they looked over the scene later, shouted over and over “Glory, glory, hallelujah!”

Then Sherman proceeded to “March to the Sea”…with nearly 70,000 US military troops. They made a swath on US soil 65 miles wide 285 miles long where everything was destroyed…completely laid waste. Sherman himself said he wanted to “Make Georgia Howl” In other words…make the people scream in pain before death and destruction occurred to everything they couldn’t steal and send back to Washington D.C..

In addition to the $2billion in property that was stolen or destroyed, thousands of US citizens were killed. There are no accurate estimates that I could find but they ranged up to 100,000 rapes of civilian southerners and thousands killed during his military campaign against civilians. Sherman even ordered that if any suspected explosive mines were found on roads…well, they were to be tested by a wagon load of prisoners…women, children, or men.

And to ensure that his legacy survived the coming decades…much of the farm land was sowed with salt to ensure that crops could not be grown on the land.

Sherman had defined the concept of “total war” that is still used to this day…kill and destroy anything and everything of the enemy. Sherman…US military hero…or war criminal? All the same…he was a US Army General.

So my point is…we, as Americans, virtually idolize the US military. And now I ask…Why? Why do we revere the military so much? Does it come down to worshiping idols?

Obviously there are many outstanding personnel in the military who have done some amazing feats of mercy, self-sacrifice, and heroism. But, why do we idolize the US military? What has the US military actually, truly done in the last 76 years to keep America free?

And oh…free from what exactly?

And please don’t generalize…”Free from our enemies!” or stoop into the depths of stupidity by proposing “Free from Communism!” Neither of those were ever a military threat to the US homeland. Well, except that Communists have taken over the Democratic Party and currently occupy the White House and much of Congress.

Now, my point is not to demonize all our military personnel or criminalize all military operations. I am asking the question…or making the point…the US is a war mongering people…the facts, absolute facts prove it to be so. Otherwise why would we have engaged in hundreds of wars and armed conflicts, including massacres of US civilians, in the 240 year history of our country.

We like war…we like armed conflict…we like to kill…we like to destroy…and we are very good at it.

But I ask…To what end?

Money and power is the obvious and accurate answer to that question. And along with that…the occasional good deed such as stopping the holocaust of WWII. And where does 90% of that money and power end up? In the hands of the military-industrial complex and the politicians of both parties.

Outgoing President Eisenhower in a 1961 speech warned about “the immense military establishment” that had joined with “a large arms industry.” Eisenhower said,

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.”

Eisenhower who led us to a WWII victory in Europe also spoke as someone who had seen the horror and lingering sadness of war, saying that “we must learn how to compose differences not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose.”

For the last 70 years the military-industrial complex, along with others, have ruled the United States political system, our country’s people, and the purposes of the US government.

The Constitutional Republic fell, or was bought, a long time ago for profit.

To understand this view of war, the military-industrial complex, and how it plays into this SitRep…you have to read the upcoming “Summary”.

The Economy –

The economy is also referred to as the financial system, banking, the markets, etc. For this purpose the “economy” is a combination of all of those individual terms, it is everything to do with the US economy and dollar.

Bottom line for the economy…NONE of it matters any more. You see, the money supply system has become so corrupt that the dollar no longer has any value, substance, or more appropriately…the US dollar has absolutely no meaning to it any more.

My wife and I had a very long discussion about this subject last month. We went into detail on the money supply, deficit spending, the national debt, Federal Reserve, unfunded liabilities, foreign central banks, etc. Hours later when we were done with that conversation it became very clear that it all means nothing…the economy as we know it means nothing anymore!

Think about this…

• During Obama (8 years) we racked up approximately $7.5trillion in budget deficits. That is an average of almost $1trillion dollars per year.
• During Trump (4 years) we racked up approximately $5.3trillion in budget deficits. That is an average of almost $1.4trillion per year. And increase of an average 40% per year!!
• In March of 2008 our national debt was about $10trillion. In March of 2021 our national debt is over $28trillion. That is almost triple what is was just 13 short years ago…two Presidencies…one Democrat, one Republican!
• Biden/Harris administration proposed a $2+trillion dollar infrastructure stimulus package. And of course that will be all unfunded…meaning the Federal Reserve simply creates that money out of thin air. Yes, that means more budget deficit and higher national debt…especially when you consider the multi-trillion dollar relief plan already in play for 2021…and all of that added on top of a regular budget deficit of over a trillion dollars.
• If you are keeping track…the US federal government now prints almost 60cents of every dollar it spends. Yes, that means they are simply making up money. Yup…funny money flying off the printing presses!

as of 4/28/2021

The point to all of that…money means absolutely nothing anymore! It is just created as desired with nothing at all behind it to support it, to give it any real value. To understand more of what I am talking about when it comes to “funny money” you can read my SitRep – 3/1/2021 article <click here to read>

The sad part to this…this “funny money” is an actual economic model going back a couple thousand years!! And SURPRISE!!!! It has failed each and every time it has been tried. Imagine that.

When you get rid of all the “economy static”…there is nothing left to talk about…it is ALL static…none of it matters any more…none of it. Are you thinking you are a guru with the economy and you can still make money in the stock market…yup, till you lose it…unless you are really good. You can still make sound (i.e. good) everyday decisions based on the economic static of the day. But when it comes to preparedness…no economic numbers mean anything anymore…it’s all worthless static…pure nonsense.

But do you think a few folks look at our US economic situation as “nothing”???  Think again! Foreign central banks (i.e. foreign Federal Reserves) are dumping the US dollar at an historic pace. Yes, meaning they are losing confidence in the US dollar, our economy, our US society, and our US government. Again, image that!

Call it a crash, a decline, depression/recession, or a reset…whatever floats your boat. The crux of the matter is simple…it’s over…it’s just a matter of time till the entirety of its termination manifests itself.

Look at the price increases taking place. The price of construction materials (i.e. lumber) has skyrocketed. Actually home and land prices have gone thru the roof as well. And the reason is pretty dang simple…the Federal Reserve. They have been pumping hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars into the mortgage markets. So there are huge amounts of money available for first mortgages, second mortgages, mortgage refinancing, debt consolidation, and remodeling loan packages. Banks are going out of their way to make sure the house flippers also have all the money they need. That all adds up to home prices going so high that a significant percentage of the US population can no longer afford to buy a home…especially first time buyers with young families.

Go to the grocery store…how do you see the prices now compared to last year or the year before? Think they are going up a little, eh?

Gas is up 40% in the last 6 months! The price of fuel ripples out to the entire economy in the form of higher transportation costs on everything.

So call it price inflation or dollar devaluation…it is destabilizing the entire US economic system. And as the US goes…so goes the world.

On the other hand…have you seen the number of “experts” talking about the economy getting ready to roar?

Another prediction I am hearing that sounds all too familiar…there is no housing bubble? Well, if you have the Federal Reserve pumping trillions of dollars of funny money into the system and the federal government pouring trillions of dollars into the system…does it sound unreasonable that the economy would do anything other than roar? At least for awhile.

I already told you that most of the foreign central banks are accelerating their dropping of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Now, have you ever heard the saying “the chickens coming home to roost” in any context? Do you think that the economic chickens coming home to roost will be a good thing for the US economy…or a bad thing?

Can you see any possible positive outcome for what the politicians are doing to us with this massive deficit spending on ridiculous political payoff programs? Can you see anything, anything at all, other than an economic disaster coming?

Yeah, I didn’t think so. It is only a matter of time.

For me and my family, we have a good portion of our IRA money in a growth mutual fund that is outpacing inflation by a large margin. And yes, we are making sure we have a solid supply of tangible goods that we will need…and the price of those commodities will only go up as time goes on. We sat down and talked about what we would need to weather an economic depression or a grid-down situation…and we are buying those items that we are lacking. Example: we are doubling our solar battery storage capability. And yes, we have over a year’s worth of toilet paper on hand.

Why the growth mutual fund for our IRA? Simple, it is hedging our bet. We don’t want to pull out all our money and spend it. Why? What if we need cash before the SHTF? And if we put that reserve money in a money market fund or a savings account then is doesn’t even keep up with inflation and that loses us ground. So we picked a great performing and well managed mutual fund for part of our IRA just to make sure we had a financial “Plan B”.

One important point to note…we can have that money in our bank account within 48 hours…usually less.

If you want to read more about our currency and the US economy please read SitRep – 3/1/2021 <click here to read>

Now, I fully expect to see the economy be described as “roaring”, maybe as “running on all cylinders”, “best recovery ever”, and similar arrogant and inaccurate platitudes. Yes, I do see the economy doing very well for a while, excellent statistics, great economic numbers, and it will be all hogwash, superficial at best…a house of cards.

As we pull out of the COVID crisis we will see a more organic recovery…people spending money from stimulus checks, etc. and doing stuff that causes them to spend money. Of course it will “roar”!!!

And for a historic perspective…think the Roaring Twenties. And then think what the depression 1930’s looked like right after the Roaring Twenties.  I would hope that gives you food for thought…and pause for consideration. Roar, then depression, then…

Then came the real aftermath…the 1940’s…the real serious kick in the pants…WAR !

Coming back to our current day…prices will rise, inflation/devaluation will kick in…whatever way you want to describe it…it will occur.

And just as assuredly, the economy will collapse, crash, or reset…whatever you want to call it.

Both are coming…there is no avoiding it.

Please, please prepare your financial house! If you don’t prepare…you may well see a time when you get rolled over financially. And it might come sooner than you think and be far uglier than you can imagine.

This is an extremely important point to note: Not the US Government, nor the Federal Reserve, nor any national politician has any intention or desire to reduce, let alone pay off, the national debt. Think about that…

THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT !

This is not an article that some, maybe many, of you are going to like…maybe not even believe, nor possibly not embrace. But it is an honest opinion of mine based on available information, current events, 66 years of experience of life, and a very long career in emergency services and emergency preparedness. So, read on at your own peril…it has taken me over two months to research, rough draft, edit, and get it to this point.

I have spent the last two months doing extensive research on history, current events, and centering on the “macro” picture. After about two weeks of research an astonishing image began to develop…and is now coming into considerable focus…to the point where I felt the need to share that intense image with you. The entire article is over 25 pages in Word document format. That is WAY too long for a single Internet website article.

Most folks, mentally challenged with instant gratification syndrome, would be lost after the first two paragraphs…think how they would do with over 25 pages of reading! So I have to break this article, this “manifesto”, into reasonably sized postings. To understand…you will need to read all. Or, conversely…read none of it.

Why did I highlight the term manifesto?

When law enforcement authorities and/or prosecuting attorneys target people they deem “undesirable” and wish to silence…they apply labels to them. One of their tactics is to disclose these undesirables’ manifesto. And the general public eats it up…obviously, because demons always publish manifestos.

Unfortunately manifesto means, “a published declaration of the views of the issuer.”

I am sure this article will give great fodder to those James Bond, secret agent, alphabet agency,  national security types.

So be it.

After reflecting on the “image” I am referring to and to verify it as more fact than fiction or bias, I have come to the conclusion that I think this view is pretty well based in solid data and well founded. But then again…it is only my opinion full of my own bias (i.e. my manifesto). It will be up to you to validate it or dismiss it. Either way…take a minute (or hours) to see how it might affect your emergency preparedness.

I believe ALL of your preparedness might depend on what you see in this SitRep article…and how you act upon it.

Let me be clear…I am going to give you lots of opportunity to get really pissed off at me throughout the article. And at many points you will be able to swear at me…and maybe never return to the website due to your anger. Then again…this SitRep may give you pause to think I am simply nuts. But, should you choose to read the entire series of postings and understand what I am trying to say in the summary…then you might just withdraw the hate and cursing and find yourself appreciative of what I have shared. The choice is yours…your preparedness may will depend on it.

First off I want to make sure you understand my position on “static” as it relates to current events…I try to ignore all of it. Static is the entire BS that comes into our lives. Some of that static comes through various conventional media sources. Most of today’s static comes from the Internet and cable news. All so-called “news” from both of those sources is chocked full of bias and agenda. Some of which comes from nefarious sources such as one or more foreign country’s anti-America operations, and some from anti-American federal government sources such as the CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, ATF, DEA, FEMA, DNI, etc. Regardless of foreign or domestic government origin…their “information” is meant to influence the American public to lose confidence in the traditional/conventional American way of life…including Constitutional and Judaeo-Christian religious values/practices.

To be perfectly clear…there are leftist sources promoting their agenda and there are right-wing sources promoting their agenda.  Both are just as dangerous! Why? Because they don’t present the truth…or at least not all of the truth; they present only that information (i.e. truth) that supports their agenda. And dark agendas are what is killing this country…and has been for a very long time.

So I try to ignore all of that static…and I suggest you try to do so as well…then concentrate only on the remainder and only that which is the most important.

Now that is out of the way I want to move on to a few observations that may well challenge you to your very core. In this series there will be distinct areas I will touch on:

• Introduction
• The Economy
• The Military
• Truth
• Our Constitutional Republic and Justice
• Our Society
• Potential for War
• The Fall
• Summary

Yeah…did I leave anything out????? The subject areas, some combined, will be broken into individual postings to make it easier to read and for time sensitivity regarding each article.

Introduction –

Thomas Jefferson was one of the most brilliant minds in the history of the world and added greatly to the successful outcome of the American Revolution. His boldness and brilliance led the way establishing a Constitutional Republic with freedoms and rights guaranteed by its founding document…the Constitution with the Bill of Rights.

In 1787 Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to Peter Carr. In that letter is one of the most profound injunctions I have ever read. It is this…

“Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a god…I repeat that you must lay aside all prejudice on both sides, and neither believe nor reject any thing because any other person, or description of persons have rejected or believed it. Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven.”

Some misguided folks have used “Question with boldness even the existence of a god…” as definitive proof that Jefferson didn’t believe in God. And they do so inaccurately. What I read Jefferson to mean, in context, is plain and rewarding as written…without ambiguity. What Jefferson is saying is dismiss your bias and prejudices…then challenge EVERYTHING! Yes, challenge even the very existence of God.

Why? Because if his encouragement is embarked on successfully a person becomes more rooted in truth and dismisses that which is rooted in stinking thinking. In other words…they clarify their core beliefs and principles.

What I am asking you to do through reading and pondering this SitRep is to lay aside your bias and prejudices…and consider what I am saying as a challenge to what you may have previously thought to be true.

When the SitRep has been read in its entirety you will find one of two basic outcomes…you were right all along, or you reevaluated your previous positions and have revised them based on additional information and perspective.

You are your own oracle with the assistance of heaven. Use both wisely.

Good luck…and good reading.

I’ve been working on this SitRep for a long time, and just about the moment I think I am ready to get the meat on it…current events get worse. So, I had to stop writing, observe more, think it through, and come up with the end state…and how soon it happens. And it hasn’t been easy. However, I figured I better get something out to you or you would think I’ve been on vacation goofing off.

Also, I have been working hard and fast on my own property (homestead) to get it ready, ready to deal with what is coming. I am not there yet, but getting closer each week. And I want you to get my sense of urgency…clearly.

Economy –

Oil & Gas: Since Biden/Harris was elected on 11/20/2020 the price of oil has risen 51%…that’s an average of 17% per month. But that should come as no surprise since Biden/Harris regime has declared war on the oil & gas industry. Hence, declared war on middle America and rural America.

You’ve read the headlines and stories…the price of gas at the pump has gone up 28% in that same time period…an average of over 9% per month. And the radical leftists are just getting started. We could easily see $4.50 – $5.50 per gallon of gas by 2024, if not sooner.

The Economy vs the Dollar (WARNING – might be real boring for some of you.): For a long time I’ve been reporting and opining on “the economy”…and I decided that today I need to change that. The economy consists of the stock markets, bond markets, banking industry, employment, inflation, etc. But in reality, it all revolves around the dollar…yeah, our US currency…the US dollar.

See, the problem is…our currency is actually worthless…the personification of a fiat currency. Fiat currency is currency backed by absolutely nothing. Well, in the case of the US dollar it is backed by the “full faith and credit of the US Government.” Well, that isn’t entirely accurate either. Look at a typical $1, $5, $10, $50, or $100 bill. It says it is a “US Federal Reserve Note”…yeah, that means it is a loan from the Federal Reserve Central Bank. And it is not currency backed by the US Treasury Department…or anything of value…it is simply a loan…from the Federal Reserve.

So what does that mean? Well generally speaking, currency is a medium of exchange…a convenient one in reality…makes it way easier to buy and sell vs barter. But, our US dollar has no value in and of itself. Now, it used to…it used to be backed by physical gold and silver held by the US Treasury Department. That is no longer the case…there is no physical or tangible asset securing our US currency.

And just to clarify…no note issued by the Federal Reserve, no US Treasury Bond, etc. is backed by any tangible asset of the US government. Yup, that means that no country or person can lay claim to any asset held by the US government…not any building, not any land, minerals, no oil & gas, nothing. So, if you got sucked into the idea that some government can come in and take over our land based on defaulted US government debt…well, get over the wild idiotic conspiracy theory that China or any other country can start taking over the US if the US defaults on its debt. That ain’t going to happen! And if someone promotes the idea that it is probable or even possible…then they are ignorant, stupid, or promoting a conspiracy theory for their own agenda.

So back to the US dollar…if it loses favor in the international community…or domestically…then we will see a very, very serious problem. But first, let’s talk about inflation….

• Defined as a general rise in the price level in an economy over a period of time.
• Shows the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time.
• Lowers your standard of living.
• And theoretically, tends to be offset to some degree by the increase in personal income.

However, are prices truly increasing…or is there something else going on?

Let’s do this…the average price of a house in 1900 was $5000. In 2020 the average price of a home in the US was $285,000.  So the price of the average home went up 560%…WOW! Times change eh?

In 1900 the average income was about $440 per year. So that average home cost was about 11-1/2 times the average income. In 2020 the median income was about $35,400. So that average home cost was about 8 times the average income.

So it sounds like we are WAY better off now…right? Houses cost way more, but we are making even way more income. A win-win situation…life is GOOD!  Yes?

Ah, hold on a second…let’s look at it another way…using a constant.

Is it fair to use the price of an “average” house? In 1900 they didn’t even have refrigerators…in 2020 every home a million inch quadruple surround system TV…right? So houses are bigger, nicer, central heat, AC, and granite counter tops. Back then houses had coal furnaces…if you were lucky, some even had plumbing…very few had electric.

So let’s use a constant…gold. An ounce of gold is an ounce of gold…doesn’t matter if it is 1900 or 2020…an ounce is an ounce…gold is gold.

In 1900 to buy an ounce of gold it took $20.68. In 2020 to buy that same ounce of gold it would take $1,733. Wow!!!  That ounce of gold sure went up in value…right?

Ah, how did that ounce of gold become more valuable…it’s still just an ounce of gold…an ounce is an ounce, and gold is gold.

So what really happened? Each dollar in 1900 was worth nearly $84 in 2020. That means each dollar a person had in 1900 devalued 840% by 2020. Yup…it took 84 dollars in 2020 to equal 1 dollar in 1900.

But times are still good…right?

Well, in the last 50 years middle class income has shrunk by over 30%. And add to that figure, the middle class population in American has shrunk by nearly 20%.

And strangely enough…during that same time period upper class earners income is up 75% and their % of the population has grown.

But let’s not leave out the lower class folks…their income has fallen 10% and their % of the population has doubled.

Bottom line…if you are rich…you are getting WAY richer…everyone else is losing ground BIG time! So I guess it’s true…the rich get richer. And add to that…the people who actually do the work…build houses, cook food, grow food, plumb houses, and stock grocery store shelves…well, they are falling behind…along with everyone else but the rich folks.

Sorry about all the statistics and all the talk about gold, houses, and income. But the point is…the rich are getting richer, everyone else is getting poorer…and the dollar is become more and more worthless. So obviously it sounds like the economy crashes sooner or later.

So when does it crash? I am not 100% sure that it does, but it could crash tomorrow morning…our economy is that shaky. It actually did crash during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. The only thing that kept it all afloat was trillions and trillions of dollars created by the Federal Reserve and pumped into the banking, insurance, and financial sectors. But, I can guarantee you one thing…it will “reset” somehow.

Why? Because at some point the world will realize that there is ZERO value to the US dollar. There is NO tangible asset backing the US dollar. At some point the world will say “Enough!”

The reason is simple…the US debt is nearing $30,000,000,000,000…yes, 30trillion dollars. If you don’t already understand…there is NO ability for the US government to pay off that debt. But, it gets worse…far, far worse. The US government in indebted another $200trillion in unsecured liabilities. That means the US government owes that $200,000,000,000,000 in the future (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, pensions, etc.) for which there is virtually no money to cover it…other than to borrow it. And let’s not forget a “master”…interest. The % of each annual budget will increase dramatically the more we borrow. As of right now…the only way the US government meets its financial obligations is to borrow more and more money each year.

Back to the US dollar…The US dollar is a medium of exchange…I will sell you this widget if you give me enough of those paper dollars in your hand. As soon as the person with the widget wants more paper dollars for that widget…the dollar is, by default, devalued. And we are seeing that every single day now.

Now, another phenomena is taking place, and has been for decades. Creating money out of thin air…literally. For 47 years now when the US government wants more money it simply asks the Federal Reserve to create it…a few key strokes later and a computer magically creates another $1,000,000,000,000 (trillion dollars). And the US government is another trillion dollars in debt. But what happens to the trillions of dollars already out there? Well, if you have 10trillion of something and create another trillion of the same thing…what happens to the original 10trillion’s value? Bingo! It becomes less valuable.

Now create 2 – 6 trillion more dollars each year…what is happening to all of the previous trillions of dollars? Yup, it becomes less valuable…devaluation. And that means the prices of everything goes up, because the value of the dollar goes down. Most folks call that inflation…the general rise in the price level goods and services in an economy over a period of time. But, in reality it is now actually more properly defined as the devaluation of the dollar.

So it’s a 1-2-3-4 punch to the gut…more national debt, more federal budget required to pay the interest on that debt, dollar continues to become less valuable, and prices of everything you buy increases.

That is why I say…at some point folks will say “Enough!” And when it does…the US economy/banking/financial industries collapses…30 seconds later the world’s economy follows suit. What then?

If the rich are getting richer…and that is a fact…who gets poorer when the world does a financial reset?

If you answered “everyone but the rich elites” you would be 100% correct. Why? Because the rich elites have tangible assets to protect themselves…they do not depend on paper money -fiat currency- to maintain or grow their wealth.

So what about you and the reset?

If you are the average person…you go down the tubes into the poor house…literally. And you become enslaved financially, if not literally. If you have a valuable skill such as house building, electrician, soldier, etc. then you have a chance to make a little more money than the average poor person…but you are still a slave to the rich…you serve them at their pleasure. If you are a government employee…yea! You are well taken care of…because the rich elites use you to control the slaves. But then again…everyone hates you!

So what is the answer…the preventative…the cure?

Well, if you are a Christian…only the Second Coming of Christ looks like a viable option. But, generally speaking there might be another option…a preventative for the reset or crash. But it hurts like hell and may not, probably won’t, work. That is to get our country to stop using debt to finance everything. Unfortunately, the chance of that occurring is almost incalculably small.

So what else can be done? Take a look at the great depression of the 1930’s as the closest historical equivalent to a crash or reset.

People with highly desired skills kept their, or found a, job. People with some arable land grew their own food. The super-rich stayed rich, many got richer. The middle class, middle income earners, lost their butts! Most importantly…and my whole point…communities, geographic or demographic, who worked together fared much better…because they took care of each other.

What do you do right here and now? Well, pray for His Second Coming, acquire/perfect a desirable skill, learn how to grow your own food on land that you can pay the taxes on, etc. Or, as an option we can change the system, change the government. Yup, we did it once in the late 1700’s…and the Declaration of Independence states the right and roadmap to do so. But, we’ve gotten lazy and let all those rights, liberties, and freedoms virtually slip away. Maybe we could get it back, maybe not. Depends on how much we want it back, how much character we have, how much we are willing to sacrifice…and timing.

But, there is always the easy way…just let it keep going the way it is…and suffer the consequences.

Biden’s Administration –

I started writing about who Biden/Harris was bringing onboard in their administration. Clearly, one after another showed themselves to be radical leftists, most of them hardcore authoritarians, some clearly with socialist and communist beliefs.

Continuing my research I started looking into William Burns, the next CIA Director…wow!

First off…disclaimer: I think the CIA is one of the most vile and evil institutions the world has ever seen. It far surpasses even the Gestapo in its depth and breadth of evil.

With that out of the way let me continue…Burns made the statement in his confirmation hearing that China is our biggest threat. Finally, someone gets it! But, let’s not forget the proven factual evidence of the deep financial ties that the Biden family has with China, including Joe Biden himself. So can ole Billy Burns be objective and effective in his new role?

Well, how about Billy Burns being a Chinese mole, a Chinese operative, deposited at the top of the CIA!!!

But, before we get into that…let’s talk about Burns being a close ally of Russia. But, that is boring. Well, then something else worth noting and not so boring…Iran. Yeah, that Iran! So remember that 2015 “deal” of Obama’s that put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons AND delivering a cargo plane of cash to Iran containing billions of dollars???? Yeah, good old Billy Burns was a chief negotiator in that one. But, back to China…

So I got all warm and fuzzy when Billy Boy mentioned that China was a real threat to the US. Nice, eh? But, I had to stop and think…with the Biden family, including Joe, being on the Chinese payroll to the tune of billions of dollars…Could Burns and the CIA be serious about China? Good question if I do say so myself. So I decided to take a closer look at William Burns.

Burns, the Biden/Harris CIA director, is the President of a think tank called The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Sounds cool, eh? Well, well, well…it just so happens that the think tank has received millions of dollars in funding from…guess who? If you answered China you would be 100% correct!

And now let’s make it even more interesting…in 2016 a guy by the name of Zhang became a board member of the same think tank…and Burns sang his praises big time! And who is this Zhang? Zhang is a Chinese Communist Party member responsible for advocating the Chinese Communist Party and national agendas abroad. And get this…Zhang runs the Chinese Communist Party organization called The Center for China and Globalization. So we have a close friend, business associate, and funder of the new CIA Director who is:

• A Communist Party member,
• A Chinese leader,
• A Chinese agenda promoter,
• A world globalization advocate.

Pretty sweet eh? And don’t forget…that same Chinese Communist Party member, with Chinese money, paid, maybe still does pay, our CIA Director through the think tank payroll. Nice, eh? But, it doesn’t end there…in 2019 Burns went to China and co-hosted a forum to “reduce misconceptions concerning China.” What do you think now???

But let’s keep going…The Starr Foundation has given millions to Burns’ think tank as well. But who is this Starr Foundation? They originated from a multi-billionaire guy who was in the insurance industry…with big time insurance operations in what country? If you guessed China again, you would be right! Eventually the insurance company became AIG. Yup, that AIG…the insurance company that received billions in bailouts from the US government back during the 2007 – 2008 crash. And let’s go back to the Starr Foundation…they are globalization advocates as well as promoters of Chinese policies…and they have provided millions of dollars in funding to William Burns, CIA Director, through his think tank.

So tell me again…how do you feel about this Communist China insider (a.k.a. William Burns) running the CIA? The CIA has been widely known for their black-ops against foreign countries and domestic individuals…what do you think they will be up to now with China William Burns running it?

And Burns is no different than all the rest of Biden/Harris picks to run the US government. Hell, no different than Biden or Harris!!

Immigrants –

OK, by now you have to know, or should know, that the whole reason that Democrats love immigration is simple…LOTS of new democrat voters. That is the ONLY reason the Democratic Party advocates for getting all those illegal immigrants, including known criminals, into the US and them giving them the right to vote…political power and control. Well, that isn’t the only reason…the Democratic Party caters to the rich elites and powerful corporations…and those rick folks like the availability of cheap labor to meet their corporate needs and to become their company’s consumers. Once illegal aliens are rewarded with citizenship they will have the right to vote. And that will cement the Democrat Party’s dominance for a very long time…well, at least long enough.

Enough of that, I will move on…

Civil Unrest, then Civil War –

There is a Natural Progression taking place. It will result in Civil War…and a significant increase in civil unrest until then. And both parties are pushing it…have been for about 120 years. But, no one is pushing it harder than the ruling class (a.k.a. rich elites). Why? Because the endgame is an authoritarian regime where they can control quite literally all the resources…and thus all the power.

Let’s review a couple of things…the top 1% of the world’s rich control over half of the world’s wealth, and they control almost 90% of the world’s resources. So take a guess…how much of the world’s power do they already control? And just a reality check…how much power and wealth do you think they want to share with the rest of the world’s population? True, a few of the rich do give away money through their charities…but they receive increased power doing so. So they are simply buying more power to advance their agenda(s).

And remember way back earlier in the SitRep I talked about how the facts/statistics show that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer…why do you think that is an historical fact? Yup, because that it their endgame…control…because that control/power brings more wealth. And you control the world population through authoritarian regimes…just ask China…ask Russia…

It is no different here in the US…just review history and facts:

• Does the US government have more power now than in 1890?
• Does the US government have more money, or control over more money, now or in 1890?
• Do we have more federal law enforcement now than in 1890?
• Do we have more taxes now than in 1890?
• Is the US military larger now than in 1890?
• Do we have more federal bureaucrats now than in 1890?

Need I go on? And why do I use 1890?  That is the general start of the Progressive Movement in the United States…a natural evolution of Socialism/Communism/Marxism principles that developed in the mid-1800’s.

Last summer we saw the radical and violent arm of the Democrat Party go full-on anarchy. They burned their way across most of the large liberal cities in the US. Then we saw a major “Bubba Effect” take place on 1/6/2021…the attack on the Capitol Building predominately by radicalized Trump supporters and a few others.

So the civil unrest is well underway…and it will get worse. Sure, it has calmed down a bit right now…but all sides are alive and well…and all sides are planning.

As the Biden/Harris regime implement their radical authoritarian agenda more and more…you will see more and more civil unrest…from both sides. Don’t forget the announcement that the FBI has now identified 500 participants in the 1/6 attack on the Capitol…what do you think the FBI is going to do about them…and how?

Civil war is the natural endgame here in the US…a natural progression from the civil unrest we are experiencing now. Exactly what form the civil war takes I am still not clear on…there appears to be several roads it could go down. But one thing is clear…it will probably be violent, brutal, ugly, and tear our country apart…perfect for the authoritarians. Perfect for them to come in with their solution, their cure, their answer…and most everyone will beg for it. Most everyone will gladly give up freedoms, liberties, and rights for a little safety and security…provided by an even more militarized federal law enforcement apparatus.

Exactly when the “war” will start or where it will start is still unclear to me. But one thing I feel sure about…the FBI will be instrumental in starting it. Remember, the FBI is a couple things; 1) not authorized by the Constitution, 2) fully militarized, 3) works to protect the power of the US federal government.

And let’s not forget it has plenty of experience…it massacred 78 men, women and children back in the 1990’s…not just massacred them…burned them to death. And let’s not forget it was the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover that headed up the operation sending tens of thousands of Americans to prison camps in the 1940’s.

So we are in the midst of civil unrest, civil war is coming, and the FBI will probably be involved in starting that civil war…the spark. And I honestly believe the form that the civil war takes will be tribalism more than likely…but I could be wrong…I pray that I am.

Summary –

The dollar is becoming more and more worthless with each passing month. With every federal government annual budget we go further in debt. Every time they pass a “bailout”, a “stimulus”, a “relief bill”, etc. we go further in debt. Every time we go further in debt it means the Federal Reserve has created more money…and in doing so our dollar becomes less and less valuable. And it will come to a dramatic and ugly end at some point.

And that “reset” will probably be the final straw that starts or exacerbates the civil war.

But, is civil war avoidable? No, it is inevitable. The country has become clearly and irrevocably divided. There is no repairing that divisiveness. Too many powerful forces are driving the divide, they cannot be stopped. Okay, there is a single viable option that could stop it…the Second Coming of Christ. But, we don’t know when that will be.

In the meantime there are some things to do, for instance…

#1 is develop, define, and defend a set of personal principles that are well founded. Work with your family and congregation/community to do the same.

#2 is develop the ability to defend yourself, your family, and your congregation/community. You don’t have to be a tier-1 operator…but you can assist in organizing or help support a community defense organization.

#3 is to remain calm & cool, do not become radicalized, do not do stupid things and take ill-timed actions.

#4 is to organize yourself, your family, and your congregation/community to deal with the coming historical events. Round out your preparations, encourage and assist others to do so.

#5 ensure your ability to communicate with your family and your congregation/community, especially if the normal means of communicating are no longer available.

#6 develop a basic skill plus the ability to grow food.

If you will do those six things, in addition to practicing your faith, you will become much better prepared to deal with all that which is coming. And it is coming…it is inescapable.

I don’t know how much more direct I can be…or how much more encouraging I can be. I’ve laid it out for you repeatedly for over 5 years now on this website. Now is the time…you must get your head on straight and get serious about what is coming. We may have years to prepare…it may be only weeks…it might be a few months.

• Mayhem, chaos, insurrection, coup, national disgrace, historic…
• Thugs, protestors, rebels, insurgents, rioters, terrorists…
• Attack on democracy, sedition, storming Congress, attempted overthrow, open rebellion, insurrection…

That is the 2nd victory, the major victory, for the Democrats/Progressives/Authoritarians yesterday. The lesser, albeit significant & devastating, was the Republicans handing over the Senate to the radical left (i.e. Democrats).

Huuummmmm……….2 victories…one major and one minor…and the minor victory is described as “significant and devastating”?????

Hang on a minute, let’s play a game for a minute shall we…

It’s the year 2000 and the Presidential election is close…Gore vs. Bush. The left claims voter fraud, especially in Florida, challenges the outcome, goes to the Supreme Court and losses. And then when the Electoral College vote certification takes place they storm the Capital, break in, vandalize the place, protestor is shot dead, 3 more deaths result from the chaos and mayhem. Wow!!!

And how would the Republicans react? How would Conservatives react? How would the law & order freaks react? How would Fox News portray it?

But, oh wait…as radical and violent as the leftists are…they never did the latter part. They followed the law and accepted the legal outcome of the election. They didn’t even object on the Senate floor during the certification process.

Now, let’s come back to reality…1/6/2021…one of the worse days in American history…a story that will become part of our written history…a shameful part.

But, one more thing before I continue…to all of those who think the protestors (turned rioters, turned mob, turned idiots) were all AntiFa in Trump gear, or paid leftist goons of George Soros…WAKE UP and use your head, use your mind, use your eyes, step away from the KoolAid!!!! These were radical right Trump sycophants. Were there some agent provocateurs (of various ilk) among them? No doubt. But, the vast majority, maybe all, were violent anarchist crazies or those caught up in their idiot moment. So stop trying to avoid the reality of what happened…step out of the twilight zone and back into the world of common sense and sanity.

First let’s cover the minor victory that occurred…Republicans handing the Senate to the Democrats. Dang! Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…the Republicans are very good at that it seems…or very determined…maybe both. In any event…Republicans made history in that they gave Georgia two Democrat Senators serving at the same time…one a radical religious nutcase. Religious Nutcase? Yup!

Warnock is a Pastor at a church whose entire congregation, and especially Warnock, are racist to the core and adherents to anti-Christian, anti-Biblical beliefs called Black Liberation Theology. It is utterly disgusting what they believe. Warnock’s religious mentor actually preaches that if “God is white, kill God!” Can you get any more racist, any more evil, any more disturbing than that? But more than disturbing or disgusting…it is dangerous! It sounds like something out of the ISIS or Nazi manuals than something that a supposedly Christian Church would believe in and advocate. And what did ISIS or Nazi attempt to actually do? Think about that…think long and hard!

Back to my point…now the Democrats control the Whitehouse and both houses of Congress. And what do you think they’re going to do with that situation? Your worst nightmares!! Well, your worst nightmares and no surprises…I’ve been warning you of this for a long time. More on that later.

Let’s get back to yesterday…was it in any way justified? No! No justification for it in any way whatsoever! If you think it was justified and appropriate to any degree…then you are an anarchist, you don’t support the Constitution, and not any better than the AntiFa crazies. Or possibly you could simply be extremely ignorant of all things Constitutional. But I doubt that any of my website visitors had any support for what happened yesterday when the violent anarchists stormed the Capital Building.

Let me address one thing for clarification…Does the Declaration of Independence allow for the overthrow/change of government under certain circumstances? Yes, absolutely! And before anyone tries to play that card here…did yesterday, in any aspect, resemble a change of government as outlined in the Declaration of Independence? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Yesterday was an amazing gift handed to the Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/RINOs/Authoritarians. Its value is immeasurable…and handed to them on a silver platter by those Trump supporter idiots. It does a number of things, but let’s recap a couple:

1. It will give media endless visuals of the “right” being violent, out-of-control, dangerous, and trying to overthrow our Democracy.
2. It will give Democrat politicians a huge edge in any future campaigning to ensure that they are elected vs some crazy right-wing extremist. They will use those visuals…with glee.
3. It will give liberal historians great material for documenting The 2021 Rebellion, The Insurrection of 2021, etc.
4. Worst of all…it will give the Democrats, and RINOs, all the ammunition (sorry, pun intended, I should have said “justification”) to pass a slew of anti-Constitution, anti-right, anti-liberty, and anti-freedom legislation. Yup, they will be able to show the American people why even more legislation is needed in order to ensure that the terrorism, mayhem, chaos, and violence never takes place again.
5. And of course…the perfect reasoning to crush conservative groups, Constitutional crazies, and of course…militias. All to ensure that something so disgraceful never happens again…to protect our American Democracy!

Thank you to all the Trump supporters who took place in yesterday’s stupidity!!!!!  You just ensured the political preeminence of the Democrats/Liberals/Progressives for a long time to come…and for their agenda to march forward with little true and effective opposition. And you ensured that the government has everything it needs to crush all that is good in our country. You have effectively set back any freedom movement in a very big way. Thanks a lot you freaking morons!!!!

So now what? It will be as bad as or worse than I have been telling you about for years if Trump lost and the right cut loose. Which all happened as I told you it would…the Bubba Effect…although at a factor larger than I expected. I didn’t expect them to attack the Capital Building.

What do you think the left is going to do…since the radical right proved them to be absolutely correct? What kind of legislation do you think they are going to pass?

The FBI, ATF and DHS already view the right as all potential domestic terrorists…now what do you think they are going to do? Or rather…What more do you think they are going to do?

As I said…thanks to those radical Trump supporters, the leftists have a free pass to do virtually anything they wish to crush rights, freedoms, and liberties…and the FBI, ATF, and DHS will be all too happy to do their bidding. It will harsh, heavy-handed, and probably lethal in many cases.  But none of it should be surprising if you have been reading my warnings for the last few years…I’ve told you exactly what is coming…and I should have been more plain.

Yes, I am partially to blame here…I’ve held back.

Yup, I had more that I wanted to warn you about, more I wanted to say, more I wanted to be truly open about. But, I tempered by words, clouded some of my warnings, treaded lightly when I should have just spoken my mind completely. I did these things with good intention…I didn’t want to have folks think I was just another crazy and drive folks away from the website. But that was wrong of me…I should have said what I was thinking, what I saw, and what I knew was coming…exactly like it was in my head. Hopefully, as you read my articles you felt the witness of what I was trying to get across. Hopefully.

So where do we go from here?

No place different than what I’ve been sharing specifically with you for the last 4 years…prepare. Prepare what? Go back and read what I already wrote…there is ZERO need to me to repeat myself with all of that info…read what I have already written.

The #1 thing to prepare…your FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES!!!! Get your foundational principles firmly fixed on solid ground…then stick by them. Especially decide on your “red lines” that you will not allow anyone to cross…especially the government. And then what will you be willing to do, exactly willing to do, to defend those red lines. Make is crystal clear what you will do, how you will do it, who you will do it with, and just how far will you take it. Then do everything you realistically can to be ready for that.

Get you head on straight, get your priorities straight, get your life straight, get ready in every realistic way…it is coming! Coming just as I outlined over and over again. Some of it is already here, but the bad stuff, the truly evil stuff is coming at us like a freight train. If you and your family are not ready…you will get crushed.

Once again…all of you Trump supporter idiots that took action yesterday at the Capital Building…you handed the evil side everything they ever dreamed of…you advanced the cause of evil, you single-handedly gave the authoritarians every justification to crush the true freedom movement and groups. And as federal law enforcement now kicks into high gear…you probably led to the deaths of a whole lot of good people.

Folks…think about what you do and how you do it! Being stupid, being…  Oh hell, you know what I’m getting at.

Be the good, be the right, do good.

Well, good riddance to 2020!! What a terrible year in so many ways. But, once again it is our freedoms, liberties, and rights that took the biggest hit…from government.

No, please don’t think I am dismissing COVID at all, it has taken its toll as well. But, it also pales in comparison to what the government(s) has done to us…and so many willingly supported these draconian measures.

Obviously the national debt/deficit is right up there at the top of the crap list as well. The federal government full-on attacked the value of the dollar by creating a massive transfer of wealth to the lower levels of government and the rich/elites. How well did the rich, elites, and smart do? Well, the S&P 500 index was up over 14% for 2020. And you go back to when I was talking about my wife and I buying into the S&P 500 during the “COVID Crash”…up 63%!!!!  Yes, my wife and I are very happy with the part of our IRA that we had in a Fidelity S&P-based mutual fund. But, the average person didn’t benefit much from any of the financial positives of 2020…most folks suffered big hits. Especially hard hit were those that became unemployed due to the COVID lockdown steps…and even more so were the hundreds of thousands of small business owners that lost everything.

A couple of interesting notes from 2020…local governments showed their true colors. You saw some localities place a high value on Constitutional rights…and that was a pleasant surprise. But, what you also saw were many, many local governments, mostly in Marxist/Communist authoritarian states, absolutely go full-on Gestapo on their citizens. There is video after video of politicians announcing restrictions of rights freedoms, and liberties…and then law enforcement doing their biding. It became very obvious that many in government have fully embraced their “authoritarian” side. Beware, more is coming.

Another show of colors…many in the federal government, especially politicians who constantly beat the drum of their right to control the populace in any manner they wish. It is as if they saw it not just as their right but also their duty and their mandate to do to us as they saw fit. They wrapped their warped pabulum in “public safety”. Beware, more is coming.

Yet another show of their colors…some so-called freedom lovers and patriots…they were anything but. They embraced the politicians and restrictions, cowering to every threat of sickness or punishment for resistance. They supported the authority of government over the rights of citizens. And I include the “law & order” crowd that applauded the presence of the military in our streets during some of our toughest times. These folks will welcome the future stiffer/tougher authoritarian measures to come…and they are coming.

And of course I would be totally remiss in not mentioning the election. Yes, we all know the election was fraudulent from top to bottom, inside out, bottom up. Oh wait…back in 2010 the ultra-Progressive Marxist Van Jones announced their plans…

“Our governing move is three things — top down, bottom up, and inside out. We need to work on the middle and the bottom. Government will handle the top down but it’s also bottom-up and inside-out — so now you’re challenged as you leave here — your challenge is to take care of that bottom part and that inside-out part — the heart part.” 

So mission accomplished!!!  The Marxists have done exactly what they said they would…and touted “democracy” all along the way. And that is why the Founding Fathers, and for more than a decade – me, have been warning about the evils of democracy…and the reason to embrace the Constitutional Republic that the USA was originally created as. When politicians and others speak of “democracy” they speak from a position of ignorance or malevolent intent. Democracy is best summed up as two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner.

Back on December 1st, 2020 I expressed some relief that the Republicans might be able to hold on to the Senate by winning one or both of the Georgia Senate race runoffs. But, it looks as if the Republicans may have even snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. With all the idiotic campaigning of the Republican candidates added to the in-house turmoil and fighting over the last COVID relief bill…the Republicans might have just handed the Marxist Democrats not just the Whitehouse…but the Senate as well. Please pray that it doesn’t happen!!!!  If it the radical leftists take control of the Senate…doomsday is just a breath away.

Yup, Trump set up the Republicans for a major campaign victory in Georgia or he handed the Senate to the Democrats. Trump was spot-on to demand an increase from $600 checks to $2000 checks…and I congratulate him on that. However, with the Republicans in general voting against it…well, that gives the Democrats fuel to burn down the Georgia Republicans specifically and all Republicans in general. The Republicans chose to burn themselves down by objecting to the $2000 checks.

Think of it this way…the federal government was going to issue a $600 tax refund, returning money we already gave them. President Trump who was looking out for the little guy demands a $2000 tax refund. Good for him!!!  And then the Republicans say “No!” to the larger tax refund…right at Christmas…and when the people are really hurting financially. The Republicans shot themselves in the foot. Almost as if they intended just that. Hummmmm…….

As you can tell I’ve been extraordinarily quiet for a while, about a month. Yes, a few might see that as a blessing 😉

I assure you I have not been lazy…just not writing until I got a good feel for where this is all headed. I didn’t want premature speculation to come from this website. I leave the sensationalism, the mundane, the narcissism, the dreaming, the commercialization, and all other manner of weirdness to other prepper websites. For me…I will give you actionable information. For more information you can read SitRep – 11/20/2020, Immediate Action Warning! (11/19/2020)…as well as most of the rest of this website 😉

OK, back to my research, I have some observations/opinions:

1. As a reminder, absolutely nothing electronically moved (email, text messages, cellphone conversations) is private. All of it…and I mean ALL of it is collected by the NSA and has been for about 20 years. It is stored and constantly mined for “flags” to identify potential anti-government sentiments and activity. For a complete picture of what is happening you can review the information released by Edward Snowden (you should watch the movie by the same name).
2. You are already flagged as a potential domestic terrorist…according to the FBI/DHS (U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism report from 2009. Further, I am going to tell you this right up front…clear as I possibly can…the FBI, DHS, the NSA, the CIA, the ATF…ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!! They are the polar opposite…THEY ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST THREATS TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS!!!! Remember it was the FBI and CIA who led the coup attempt four years ago against President Trump even before he was sworn in.
3. If you do something that draws critical attention to yourself then the agencies in #2 above will “farm” the data mentioned in #1 above and will come after you with the kind of vengeance that you have never seen before. And they will win.
4. You should not let #1 – #3 control your life or dictate your future actions. Do not let the federal government bully you…or define you…or crush you. If you go down…go down fighting…fighting to your very last breath. Remember the British Empire outnumbered Colonial patriots by more than 100 to 1…and the patriots won.
5. Biden/Harris have extensive and significant plans to come after certain groups of people. In semi-priority order; militias, conservative media, gun owners, high-profile pro-Constitution activists and their groups, conservative groups in general, fundamentalist church groups, local conservative politicians and civil employees that opposed the corrupt election process, non-RINO republican politicians, and Christians (non-New Age) in general. The Biden/Harris administration has drawn up plans to use the full force of the government to go after those folks I just mentioned with agencies such as FBI, DHS, NSA, CIA, ATF, IRS, EPA…just to name the most well-known.
6. Biden/Harris have brought experts into their 2nd tier circle to engage big tech companies. No, not to bring justice to the systems, not to inject any sense of “good” into the situation…oh no. They will go after all the big tech companies to the degree needed to bring them into total compliance. No, not into compliance with any regulation or law…bring them into full compliance with the radical authoritarian plans that Biden/Harris are going to implement…and to ensure large donations to all progressive initiatives. I include the push for limiting free speech on the Internet since that is the primary media for opposition to the radical leftists (i.e. Biden/Harris). And yes, expect to see ALL major mainstream media to be literal sycophants of Biden/Harris, total support for all their actions/plans.
7. The exploitation of the COVID crisis, although significant, is just getting started. The Biden/Harris cabal has developed plans up to and including the complete shutdown of the country. As of now the duration of the shutdown could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 90 days. Although there was discussion of up to 6 months. And yes, the federal government would “pay” folks’ paycheck during that time. There was/is some discussion inside their circle that the Fed would pick up the tab after all sick leave and vacation times was used first (yes, legislative mandate). The radical steps Biden/Harris are willing to take has virtually no limits…including not just a shutdown but nothing short of martial law should a shutdown be called for and ignored. Pray that they are deterred in their plans.

I have read person after person (ad nauseam) write about the biblical “10 Virgins” and how it applies to “prepping”. These self-righteous individuals use it to justify their unwillingness to help those that haven’t met some allegedly deity-inspired level of preparedness. Ah…WRONG!!!!

The parable of the “10 Virgins” strictly relates to a person’s spiritual readiness to meet and dwell with the Savior Jesus Christ. To apply it to prepping is a misapplication of monumental proportions…and not even close to scripturally sound.

Consider these words of God…

• The parable of the Good Samaritan, “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” _{(Matthew 25:35)}
• “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” _{(1 Corinthians 13:13)}
• “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” _{(John 15: 12 – 13)}

And of course the list goes on, but my point is this…when you hear of others unwilling to help others in time of need (including “grid down” or “TEOTWAWKI”) then you are hearing a person who is either ignorant or selfish to the point of rejecting God’s word. Do NOT get caught up in those kinds of thoughts or actions in regards to prepping and using your preps to help others who are in need. If He says you are showing love if you give your life for someone else…then I think that covers feeding starving neighbors or sheltering extended family. Those who are selfish with worldly goods and preppering will have their reward. Those who abide by the word of God and follow his admonitions will receive the greater part.

Yes, I put that piece referencing the “10 Virgins” in this post for a very specific reason. You who need to understand it, will understand it. Do not reject the word of God…it is not worth it.

Moving on…The economy/banking/market outlook is weird by any definition. Unemployment will marginally improve…however, we will see yet another “step-down” in jobs. Some employment will pick up…but it will be limited and narrowly focused to two areas…1) well-paying jobs for folks who have very specialized skills (i.e. medical field, government workers), 2) former middle class job workers who now have to step-down in the job that they take along with the reduction in their paycheck amount.

Some areas of the stock market will do well…others will struggle to say the least. But, be aware of where the real money comes from that move the markets.

The economy will continue to be basically stagnant in “net” terms. Meaning…while some indicators/numbers will show economic improvement, they will be offset by the deficit/debt spending used to improve those limited economic pointers.

Federal spending (debt/deficit) was out of control the last 4 years…it will pale in comparison to the next 4 years. For a relative picture…the last 4 years (Trump/Republicans/Democrats) we’ve racked up $7.211 trillion in deficits…and that doesn’t include nearly $5+ trillion of “funny money” that the Fed created.  The previous 8 years (Obama/Democrats/Republicans) we racked up $7.282 trillion in deficits.  That’s almost a doubling of federal deficit spending in the last 4 years!!!!! For 2021 Trump just signed legislation that racks up well over $3 trillion in deficit spending. Projecting the plans of the Biden/Harris cabal…we could easily be looking at over $12 – $18 trillion in deficit spending during the next 4 years. And who knows how much more funny money the Fed will create on its own…it could be another $5 -$15 trillion more.

I see no way the US economic system can realistically handle that…at all. Well, not unless the federal government takes drastic action…that we will seriously regret as average folks.

Yes, there are all kinds of speculation regarding the “Great Reset”…some is hogwash, some is more realistic. But, to one degree or another, the reset is coming. It won’t be a “crash”, it will be more a “phase-in/phase-out” situation that takes place. But, have no doubt about it…it will support rabid authoritarian governments at the national level controlled by a strong global-centered entity. Yes, that means essentially four tiers of people post-reset; 1) global-level elites, 2) national-level elites, 3) bureaucrats and technocrats that enable the new economic model, 4) workers who provide the resources for the top 3 tiers to enjoy the new model…mostly the top two tiers. So your guess who benefits and who pays for those benefits.

I still maintain that a “crash” could occur. But, it would be proceeded by an event of such magnitude as to bring down the whole system. The reset is a more probable scenario, but the crash could occur at virtually any time.

There is a noteworthy movement developing in the country right now…Freedom Cells. I am not 100% up to speed on them but they are widespread and growing at a respectable pace. The problem is there is no set overall standard for who gets involved or what their mission statement is…each cell can be, and is, different. Here locally the majority of the Freedom Cells are keeping out racists, militia people, Sovereign Citizens, conspiracy nuts, most crazies, etc. But that may not be the case in each “cell”.

The basics of their concept is good…an alternative economy when needed…mostly based on the barter system. However, as I spoke with one cell leader he mentioned to me that they are struggling to keep out “undesirables”. Those folks that would bring unwanted attention to their group and others who would promote violence and other unwelcome activity. It is becoming increasingly difficult for them to “vet” each newcomer. I also warned them about trying to acquire or maintain a secret status. Nothing draws the attention of the federal law enforcement agencies more than a group trying to be secret in their activities, especially email/text communications…particularly so-called “secure” communications. I suggested that they hold each meeting, conversation, email/text exchange as if an FBI informant was sitting right there participating…because they probably are.

So be cautious if you run into these folks, do not act too hastily. Be supportive when you can, we aware, but be careful until you can personally vet who they are locally and what their goals are.

So bottom line…as you can tell knowing me as you do…2021 will be two things…a darkening and continuing trip down the rabbit hole like none other…on the macro level. And it will also be a time of incredible light on the micro level.

On 12/1/2020 I wrote Personal Message this Evening… in which I made a “call to action” to you. The personal messages I’ve received and discussions I’ve had with some of you amaze me! You folks have rallied just as I expected you too. Thank you!!!!

Now, in 2021 those actions, and more, will be the “light”…it will be the “good”…it will be that which helps push away the darkness that is descending upon us. Please read that message again for more information, a little inspiration, and a few ideas. But get out there and do good!!!! Be the good!!!

On a practical level I want to suggest some things to you…

1. Read/review the following books; 1984, Brave New World, and especially The Art of War.
2. Watch the following movies; Snowden, The Report, and Waco: The Rules of Engagement.
3. Watch the TV show Manhunt: Deadly Games (Richard Jewell).
4. The economy will respect personal property longer than monetary based legal instruments.
5. Crashes can’t take away skills. Basic skills can be of huge value when times are tough. The ultimate skill(s) is being able to keep you and your family safe.
6. Any gear trumps no gear, quality gear trumps junk gear, quality training trumps gear, skills trump training, community trumps it all. My moto for years and years…please think about it.
7. Continue to migrate to “principles vs politics”…it is very important. <read more here>
8. Work diligently on your “plan”…ensure you have a back-up to that plan…and have a fallback plan for all of it. (i.e. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C).
9. Prepare/learn/perfect your ability to grow some of your own food.
10. Find others of like mind, vet them, work/plan/play with them, think about a future working together with them.

If there was ever a time to prepare…it is NOW!

I cannot express to you enough of what is coming, the speed of which it will come, and what you need to do to prepare for it. If you live in and think in a box you will get run over and crushed. Get out of your box, think out of the box, engage with those who are doing likewise. Be prepared to help others get out of their box when the time comes…and the time will come.

2021 will be another year where key history is made. Do you part to make and be part of its good history…the kind your grandchildren will be proud of.

It seems as if there are so many things to write about these days, all of them pressing issues. There are hurricanes of historic numbers, historic wildfires, increasing discontent and civil unrest, the COVID pandemic, and of course…the election aftermath. While all are important to one degree or another, there exists a priority system for each of us.

One of the most disturbing events since I started this website many years ago has been the election and the associated aftershocks. Yes, I have been warning about it for the better part of 3 years…yet it still came as a shock to many, upsetting to say the least. Many Trump supporters were convinced he would be elected by a landslide…maybe even rivaling the Reagan years. When it didn’t turn out as expected many folks were devastated…and fearful…or at least apprehensive. I fielded many phone calls from friends and family starting election night about what comes next and what to do about it.

The most disturbing thing of all…the shock and fear that I heard in so many voices. It was disappointing and I felt the need to comfort and console. But, I can’t and won’t. These are times to be worried about, to be concerned about, to be apprehensive about…and to know that it is getting worse by the day.

But, these ARE NOT days to be fearful!

So let me share a few things with you…and let’s see how you feel when you are done reading. I will cover the following:

• Election
• Media (Mainstream & Social)
• Civil Unrest
• COVID
• Control & Influence

Election –

Well, I can only say this…the single most fraudulent Presidential election this country has ever endured just occurred. While we didn’t have significant widespread voter fraud (nationwide criminal activity), we did see several states plagued with criminal voter and election fraud at an unprecedented level. And those particular states are the ones that tilted the vote in favor of a Biden victory.

If you listen to the media you hear nothing but platitudes concerning how secure, fair, and honest this election was…totally free from any voter fraud. You even hear the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI make similar claims…albeit cleverly worded. But, we know now, as we have for decades, that the federal government is rife with those that seek nothing but ill and evil for the USA. Those that I speak of are referred to as the Deepstate…but there are far more names they can be called…all seek for power and money…all seek an omnipotent federal government. We commonly know their goal more simply put…an authoritarian central government. And the vast majority of federal government workers strive for that end…either intentionally or by their unintended actions, or lack thereof.

It is my firm opinion that the outcome of the election was fixed in-place years ago…and Trump was not going to be re-elected…regardless of the vote outcome. And no amount of court challenges, demonstrations, rallies, protests, or court cases will do a single thing to change the outcome. Period!

Yes, that means a number of things:

• Joe Biden will be sworn in as the next President of the United States.
• The Supreme Court, if it even hears a Trump legal challenge, will not overturn the election results.
• No protest, rally, demonstration, or any other act will help retain Trump as President. No letters, no petitions, no pleas will be effective, if even noticed by those in control.
• The only hope that the country has now is a Republican majority in the US Senate…and they don’t have it yet.
• Those that raise their voice, fist, or head in protest now will simply put yet another target on their back. Law enforcement is watching…and taking names and making notes.

So for just a minute let’s consider how Trump could use the courts to overturn, or stay, the election…

1) He could try to obtain a “stay” for the states’ election results being certified in the states where enough claims/evidence exists to indicate he actually won those states. The states could investigate and then release the results allowing the courts to “order” who won through the States’ Secretaries of State.

2) He could try to get a court order to force State legislators to pick the Electoral College electors vs the electors being normally designated by the certified vote outcome.

3) He could request that the Supreme Court “stay” the national Electoral College process/results; then potentially request a court order for a new election based on his claims/evidence of vote results fraud.

My opinion…

#3 will NEVER, EVER happen. The Supreme Court will not overturn or stay a national election. If they did so, or even hear the case, it would undermine the Constitution by bringing into question the Constitutional electoral process. They WILL NOT do this under any circumstance…PERIOD!

#2 is almost a virtual impossibility. I do not think for a minute that any judge wants to be the person that tries to undermine the Constitutional electoral process. And if a court would rule to do so it would be immediately appealed to the Supreme Court by the Democrats. See #3 above for that outcome.

#1 is highly unlikely…and may be the least desirable of all potential options. Yes…the least desirable. If a court would issue that stay, which is highly unlikely (impossible), then the relative state(s) would start an investigation into voter fraud or vote counting fraud. First off…both are criminal matters not civil matters. Second…think how long it would take…yup, a very long time. And if Trump is not declared a winner by inauguration day…well, by law according to the Constitution and the succession procedures…ah yes… at this point Nancy Pelosi becomes President until the election results would proceed with an inauguration <read more>. Now you know why I call this the least desirable option. And should the investigation be handled by federal law enforcement…well, the investigation would take 3 – 5 times longer and Trump would surely not be re-elected.

While Trump may not have lost the vote…but Biden will be sworn in as the next President. God help us!

Media (Mainstream & Social) –

As you are well aware of we are seeing a monumental increase, an exponential increase, in censorship in all forms of media in the United States. But, this is nothing new. All over the globe most countries already have draconian censorship laws. Many countries have severe criminal penalties for violating censorship and offending speech laws…including imprisonment. The same is coming to the US.

Corporations are currently the ones doing all the censoring in the US…and they are doing it very well. And yes, it will get far, far worse as the Biden presidency matures. What the US doesn’t have yet are the criminal penalties. But, they are coming. No, they won’t overturn the First Amendment…until the final push, but in the meantime there will be laws where people become more “responsible” for the things that they say. Whether it be injury, property damage, incitement, etc. people will be dragged into the civil and criminal legal system more and more based on what they say.

The Brandenburg Test – “Freedoms of speech and press do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”

The key to where they will head with all of this is “…advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action…” The courts, including the Supreme Court, will become much more liberal in determining what constitutes “advocacy” and “imminent”. Example: A right-wing blogger says we should resist intrusion of the federal government into our lives. Then during a rally a scuffle between Proud Boys and AntiFa breaks out. People are injured, one dies.  During the investigation more than one person (or maybe even just one) states that he listens to said blogger. The blogger will then be subject to arrest and subsequent charges for incitement of violence, potentially conspiracy to commit murder, or as an accessory to murder. This would not violate the First Amendment as such, but would reduce any anti-government speech due to a person likely being held responsible for said speech.

Censorship is here, here to stay, and will only get worse…plan accordingly.

Civil Unrest –

As I stated multiple time over the last several years there would be civil unrest and violence before, during, and after the election. It has happened, will continue to occur, and will get worse. At several pro-Trump rallies there have already been violent clashes with opposition groups, even a shooting.

How will it get worse? If the election results (Biden presidency) would somehow appear to be in jeopardy the radical left (i.e. Democrats) will come unhinged. And the most violent of their party will hit the streets with a vengeance. And of course the anarchists will join in with them.

Also, if the right continues to hold rallies and/or demonstrations then the left is going to react to those events and more clashes will occur. And then once again the “Bubba Effect” will show up…and potentially more than an isolated incident or two.

The short-term looks as if it could spontaneously get bad in isolated situations. Medium-term…it could get very ugly whatever the vote/election results are. Long-term…well, it’s simple really…Civil War or another Revolutionary War…there is no avoiding it…it is coming.

COVID –

The second wave has hit. Just as I have warned you about, although you already knew it was coming without me telling you. And it is ferocious in nature. Yes, the virus itself has mutated somewhat to make it more contagious on a wider demographic. However, we are also seeing a spike in cases for the simple fact that we are testing more.

But, none of that is new, nor the point of my writing. What I am seriously concerned about…the latest actions that state and local governments are taking. To say those actions are draconian would be an understatement by a rather large factor. What we are seeing are “extremist” measures being forced upon citizens that are nothing less than those taken by a petty dictator in some third-world country. Or, maybe more along the lines that the old Soviet Union or the current Communist China would take.

Example: In New Mexico they are closing food stores and pharmacies in some situations! But, then again…the Governor of New Mexico is a radical left-wing Communist/Marxist who is drunk with her own delusion of grandeur.

And it will get worse.

Control & Influence –

I was tempted to write a stand-alone article on this subject, but I thought it more appropriate to include it in this SitRep immediately preceding the “Summary” section.

There is an old saying in regards to worrying…80% of what we worry about will never happen…so don’t worry about all of those things. I tend to agree with that for most people in most situations.

But, I want to personalize it…adapt the saying to what is happening in today’s world. Sure, 80% of what we worry about will most likely never happen; at least not as we think it will. But what about the other 20%?

Here’s what I think and propose to you for consideration…

10% of what we worry about will happen. However, we have no control or influence over what actually happens. In other words…it’s going to happen regardless of what we do, or attempt to do. Example: US bombs Iran nuclear facilities to slow down their plutonium production. OK, maybe you work as the National Security Director advising the President to bomb em. Or, maybe you are the President and will make that decision. But, that is a pretty limited field of folks who can influence that decision…and only one person who can make that decision. The rest of us can worry all we want…we got nothing to say whether it happens or not.

But what about the other 10%?

I firmly believe that we do have influence in what happens or even may be the decision maker is that remaining 10%. Example: Who we cast our vote for, or do we attend a rally/demonstration or not.

So here’s my point…Where do we spend our time, effort, and resources on?

Do we pour time, effort, and money on the 80% of the stuff that never happens? Does it make any sense to worry about or invest in that stuff at all?

What about the 10% that we have no influence or decision making ability in? Do we pour time, effort, and money into those things?

Or, do we assess which things wherein we can have influence in the outcome…or better yet…we can make the actual decision in the outcome?

I suggest to you…forget about the 80% altogether! Don’t give those things a second thought at all; waste no time, effort on money on them.

As for the 10% wherein we can’t influence or make the decision on…spend the absolute minimal time and effort on them. Maybe just be aware that they are happening and any changes in actual events. In other words…good Situational Awareness…but minimal, absolutely minimal, investment in them.

And finally the 10% we can control or influence…concentrate your time, effort and money on those things…virtually exclusively. Be very efficient in what you do…invest heavily and wisely in them.

Here is the kicker…how do you identify each category?

Well, I think that is pretty simple as well…

• The closer the issue/situation is to you the more influence/control you have over it.
• If the issue/situation depends on your time, effort, or money the more influence/control you have over it.
• Once you’ve identified those issues/situations mentioned above then prioritize them. The priority you assign to each should be based on your foundational principles. Those “foundational principles” I’ve been taking about now for quite some time if you care to read about them.

Why do I bring this topic up in the first place? Based on the number of phone calls I’ve received from friends and family concerned about the election and what is coming. And I also have to say…it is partially based on some of the comments I received on the last few posts I made. Some folks may be misunderstanding that I am suggesting folks do nothing.

Yeah, not even close! I have advocated for several years on what to do…to be actively engaged in. Some of my last few posts have included what not to do based on safety and common sense…and avoiding unnecessary targeting of yourself and your family.

The key to everything that is taking place right now in our country and the world is knowing what events/issues/situations that you have any influence in or control over. Then concentrate on those events/issues/situations with your time, effort, and resources. The other 90%…well, monitor and adapt as needed…but avoid worrying about them entirely…and invest only minimally in them with your time, effort and resources.

Summary –

This has been a terrible, terrible year! The last 3 years have been very, very rough. The last 11 years have sucked. Yeah…you get the point. But, know this (and you already do) that this is a very treacherous time…and it is getting worse…and will get way worse. And only you can prepare yourself and your family for it. And you can only do the best you can…and that is good enough.

Prioritize your time, effort and resources…focus on those things that you can influence or have control over. And go after those things like a person possessed!

If you need a reminder of what I think is coming and what to do to prepare…just start reading this website’s articles backward. Yeah, read the most recent articles first…they are loaded with good information. And comments on those articles contain great information as well.

Will I ever “go active”?  Yes. When the appropriate time comes, when the situation requires it, I will go active.

Will I let my website visitors know when to go active? I will never “incite” people to commit violence or damage property or rebel against the Constitutional government. What I will do, when the time comes, is issue a single one line post. And the post will indicate the time has come to defend yourself, your family, your home, your community, your congregation, and all that you care about against those who would commit unConstitutional acts, lawlessness and violence against you and yours. That post will read simply…”Call to arms!” It will be totally up to you how to do any/all of the above. I simply request you follow the Hollow Spirit when doing so.

Folks, the times are both treacherous and perilous. We’ve seen a coup against Trump during his Presidency…and they almost overthrew the duly elected President. We’ve seen the overthrow of the US Presidency in the election less than a few weeks ago. We will shortly see the inauguration of the most corrupt, radical, authoritarian, Communist/Marxist administration to ever takeover the Whitehouse. We are on the precipice of a “dark ages” for the United States the likes we can hardly even imagine. If the Republicans do not retain a majority in the Senate we will slip into an authoritarian government that we will never recover from.

I urge you STRONGLY to take ALL steps necessary NOW to prepare for those times. Have a PLAN and several backups on what you and your family will DO as we continue to slip into these darkest of government chasms. Do not delay, do not procrastinate, do not hesitate…it is coming. I can’t tell you exactly when…but IT IS COMING!!

As I have discussed with many folks over the last couple of years…there are going to be pockets of places/people who will honor and sustain the principles that formed our Republic and are contained in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The rest of the country will devolve into a dictatorial/authoritarian septic tank.

It is your responsibility to know where the pockets/places are and will be…how to get there…how to contribute to their success…and how to get your loved ones there. Live up to your responsibility…and do so NOW !

In the meantime…or in addition to…SERVE !  Serve others with all your might, mind, and strength…with all that you are, all that you have been given, and all that you will be given. SERVE !

And remember this…If you are prepared you shall not fear.

As a reminder of some of the things I see coming let me reproduce the list from my 11/7/2020 article “Resist!”

• The animosity among US citizens will skyrocket.
• The rancor among US citizens will skyrocket.
• Republicans will become even more cynical, angry, whinny, and weary of all things government. The latter is a good thing since they have been sycophants for the last 4 years.
• The Democrats will be emboldened exponentially to nosebleed heights.
• Expect more welfare.
• Expect more abortions.
• Expect more open borders.
• Expect left-wing demonstrations/protests to advance their causes.
• Expect higher taxes on higher income earners.
• Expect more tax increases.
• Expect more food stamps.
• Expect college loan forgiveness.
• Expect more housing assistance.
• Expect a significant and at times violent suppression of militias.
• Expect election reforms…national standards dictated by the federal government.
• Expect a significant increase in social media and tech giant speech restriction (i.e. censorship).
• Expect an increase in the federal minimum wage.
• Expect more paid worker benefits.
• Expect an exponential increase in the COVID-19 response by states controlled by Democrats and especially the federal government.
• Expect COVID-19 situation to get worse…maybe even much worse.
• Expect large federal budget deficits.
• Expect a significant growth in the national debt.
• Expect more “Bubba Effect”.

And on 7/17/2020 I wrote a SitRep where I gave specific things to do…

1. Implement a plan to fill any holes in your emergency preparations based on the 7 Common Risks & Threats.
2. Do NOT join any militia of any kind, or any group that vocally expresses blanket support for police.
3. Do look for Peace Officers who respect and honor the Constitution…in good times and bad. Then tell them you appreciate them and stand by them when the time comes…and the time will come.
4. Do NOT generally talk to folks about forming any armed group.
5. Stay very aware of what is happening in your community. Keep your Situation Awareness at its peak.
6. Stay off social media where controversial topics are discussed such as militias, armed resistance, etc.
7. Read, understand, and use all of my Immediate Action Warnings that I have produced since the beginning of 2020.
8. Have discussions with your neighbors to get an idea of where they are with everything that is happening.
9. Prepare for the potential second wave of COVID-19 this fall.
10. Prepare for increased violence when/if colleges and schools reopen.
11. Prepare for a horrific Presidential campaign season.
12. Prepare for the fallout from whoever wins the election…especially if the Dems sweep Congress and the Whitehouse.
13. Hone your critical thinking skills and dig for accurate information…distrust the media and distrust all social media even more…especially prepper social media websites.
14. Push to reopen churches and religious practices wherever and whenever possible.
15. Support your local businesses whenever practical.
16. Avoid Facebook, Instagram, Google and other big tech firms as much as you can.

Now, go forward, think clearly, act decisively, and do good!

I am going to make this a brief SitRep this morning, I have a lot going on and need to get after it.

Election –

Already there are huge numbers of early ballots being rejected. Most states have no requirement to notify people that their ballots were rejected and no requirement to “cure” the ballot problem(s).

DHS cybersecurity director is gravely worried about the election related cyber security issues.

DHS and certain military units have been preparing for this specific election and its potential outcome and the possibilities that may arise from it. Read that as you wish…my sources tell me that some of their preparations have to do with a “coup”…one involves a military coup.

Democrats have a 100% chance to retain the House of Representatives.

With recent developments in the election, I put it at a 40% chance that the Republicans will lose the Senate. I pray that the Republicans maintain the Senate.

Joe Biden…man, oh man! I have been watching Joe Biden closely for weeks now. I was looking for certain “tells”…and I found them. Most of you already have it figured out but let me share my opinion. Joe Biden is physically depleted. Meaning, he is in serious trouble when it comes to his health and physical capabilities. All signs indicate that his physical condition has collapsed to a pre-death or pre-incapacitated level. But, even more troubling…his mental state. Joe Biden has a seriously depleted mental state. No, I don’t mean his political beliefs, etc. I mean his brain in dying…he is losing his cognitive abilities. The more he speaks the more it becomes apparent that his mental capacity is serious declining. Between his physical condition and his mental state I expect Joe Biden has less that 1 – 3 years before he is 100% incapable of performing his duties as President (should he be elected).

And that plays right into the Democrats’ plan. Kamala Harris is a radical leftist…a left-wing extremist in her beliefs and actions. There is no doubt about that…it is obvious and unquestionable. But, notice her background…the judicial system side of law enforcement (District Attorney & Attorney General). What does that mean, or why is it important?

All political parties and virtually all politicians have a single goal in mind…power. And all governments have a single goal in mind…maintaining existing power and acquiring more power. That is the very definition of authoritarianism. And Kamala Harris is one of the chief advocates of those goals…and has proven so all her career. She is the ultimate Democrat…superficially Progressive in beliefs, and a pure authoritarian at her core. Actually, she is a perfect Republican as well…clear on her goal to use the federal government to advance her political goals.

Should Joe Biden be elected chances are almost certain he will not be able to serve out even his first term. And then who would become President…Harris. And then the real show begins. And to get an idea of the “show” look at her proven past and what she advocates…EVERYTHING that is unconstitutional…EVERYTHING that would eliminate rights, liberties, and freedoms…EVERYTHING that is directly opposite of our Founding Fathers…EVERYTHING that is is unAmerican!

Will Biden win? I put the chances at 90% that he will receive the popular vote…just as the Democrats won the popular vote in 2016. I put it at 50/50 that he will win the Electoral College. Yes, I am saying there is an even chance that Biden will become the next President. And yes, I hope I am wrong, very wrong!

Prepare for a Biden Presidency. Yup, I am encouraging you to begin preparations for Biden/Harris as President. Should Trump win, your preparations will not be in vain…because should Trump win, the country will catch fire.

Will the election be fair and honest? I say 100% absolutely not. This election could well be the most fraudulent in US history.

Food Shortages –

I finally got all my personal food industry connections contacted and digested what they had to say.

My opinions:

• We are still seeing limited food shortages in the stores.
• Those food shortages were primarily due to “hoarding” and people wanting easy to prepare foods and “comfort” foods.
• People are once again beginning to “hoard” and food shortages will return.
• I include paper towels and toilet paper in the “food” category.

COVID-19 –

As I have stated many times…the real COVID numbers will never be known and the current COVID numbers are fraudulent.

The reported COVID numbers (new cases / infections / hospitalizations) are increasing dramatically. Why? There could be several reasons. But, I believe that it has to do with the election in two ways.

1) Increasing COVID numbers tend to make many people think that Trump is doing a poor job of dealing with the problem. And it would influence some people to seek a change in leadership.

2) With large COVID numbers, and an alarming increase, it would give Biden (should he win) every justification to enact radical, and I mean radical, steps to shut the country down…and permanently reduce rights, liberties, and freedoms. Yes, that means moving the country more firmly into the authoritarianism category. Have no doubt about that…he will use it…it is a perfect opportunity for them.

Summary –

Get your preparations done now!

Clarify your foundational principles now!

Vote your principles…VOTE!
