I have been closely monitoring the situation that has developed as a result of Hurricane Helene. I have focused on two major points; 1) the testimonies/interviews/statements of folks on the ground that know exactly what has been, and is, going on, including victims, 2) the actions of government, especially FEMA and the federal government.

If I were to sum it up in a single word…shameful.

First, my background to establish me credibility…I have multiple decades in emergency response services, hundreds of incidents of major scope and size including hurricanes and flooding. Not only do I have dozens and dozens of emergency response classes on my resume, many of those were directly from FEMA. And let me mention…I was a FEMA master instructor who taught and certified instructors for FEMA. And then there is an entire county in Florida whom I taught their county and city employees in emergency hurricane preparation and response.

Let’s be clear…very, very clear…no level of government in the affected area was ready for Helene. Most local governments, including some state governments, simply don’t have the training, the foresight, the resources, or competence to be ready for something like Helene. And this was on full display in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. But FEMA is supposed to be the ultimate expert in this area of disaster preparedness and response. In FY 2023 they had a $26billion budget. This is supposed to be the “go-to” expert for disasters in the US.

So how did FEMA do in response to Helene?

They had ZERO preparedness operations ahead of time. They had ZERO preparedness operations staged for quick response. They had ZERO response of any operational note for nearly a week after Helene hit.

One of the main themes from victims was the fact that 7 – 10 days into the aftermath they had seen NOTHING of FEMA. Glenn Beck had an interesting experience, he did actually spot a FEMA resource…a week after the hurricane hit. But it gets more interesting…the FEMA truck/operation was not located where people were…and the truck was NOT OPERATIONAL!!! Yeah, but the FEMA personnel were sitting in the shade of a tree in comfortable lawn chairs. Oh, except the operation’s leader. She was inside the truck that was running…relaxing…with the air conditioning on!!!

But it gets worse…

There were a number of helicopter services that were donating their helicopters to perform supply drops to stranded families and others were flying medical evacuation flights of patients to and from hospitals. They were ordered to “cease and desist” by the FAA!!

Oh, and then there is Elon Musk. He rerouted StarLink internet providing satellite system to provide free internet service to people since all the other internet services were down. And then he was in the process of delivering 1,000 laptops -free of charge- to families and communities that were cut-off from rescue, resources, and supplies with no comunications. Yeah, well, the federal government was having none of that…the FAA ordered his helicopters grounded as well and forbid him giving away any more laptops in the area.

So FEMA is a complete and total failure of epic proportions…and then the rest of the US federal government jumps in and stops private companies and individual citizens from providing critical rescue efforts and resources!! What the hell kind of government do we have?????

Oh, but it gets worse…much worse. So Joe-the-Perv decides he needs a photo op to show he is still actually alive…he decides he needs to visit the storm affected area. And yeah…what in the hell did he expect to accomplish??? Yes, I mean he can’t even walk up stairs without a medivac being called in for him…what does he expect to accomplish by “visiting” a storm ravaged area???

Sorry, I got distracted. So he flies in for a visit. Well, good-ole-Joe the Perv shuts down all air traffic in the area devastated by Helene. Yeah, that means no critical supplies can come into the area by air, no critically ill/injured patients can be flown out of the area to other hospitals, no additional rescue personnel can be flown in, and no rescues of stranded victims regardless of the seriousness of the situation or injuries…for 5 FREAKING HOURS!!!!!

Does sleepy Joe have any working brain cells left? Even one????

But not to worry…local governments weren’t much better. A Fire Chief shut done rescue operations of a private helicopter company after they rescued a man’s elderly wife but NOT the elderly man. The bozo threatened the pilot with arrest if he took off to rescue the elderly man. And get this…the Chief had no available resources to rescue the stranded elderly man…and it is unclear if or when the man was ever rescued.

But let’s not leave law enforcement out of it. Since the federal and local governments were doing a pathetic and ineffective job of providing assistance to victims a lady organized a private effort to do just that…get water and food to stranded victims. Well, well, well…a local Sheriff was having none of that!!!

This Sheriff confiscated all of her supplies that had been donated to her…all the food, water, and other supplies and took them to his county supply depot. Yeah, he stole private property. When the story got out, the Sheriff came up with a unique story…the lady had stolen the supplies. Strange…no one ever saw her steal any supplies, no one complained of any supplies being stolen. Odd, if she had stolen the supplies…then why had she been working so hard to get them to all those victims who needed them? And even more odd…if the Sheriff knew she was a thief stealing much needed supplies…ah, why didn’t he arrest her and charge her with a crime?

Just how bad was the situation? The hospitals in the area ran out of oxygen. Which is unfathomable to me. Any hospital administrator in their right mind, with any experience and training at all always have a large supply on hand. AND…they have multiple contingencies to get in HUGE amounts of oxygen containers in an emergency BEFORE the emergency occurs. AND…they have back-up plans to get more oxygen AFTER and emergency occurs. So they failed. But here is where private individuals step up…Glenn Beck, through his charity organization Mercury One, heard about it…and flew in the supply of oxygen that the hospitals needed.

Yeah, okay…not the hospitals, not the county or state governments, not FEMA…none of them could do something so basic as get critical oxygen supplies to the hospitals…but a private charity group did. Hummm…

And as quickly as it was possible Samaritan’s Purse (Rev Graham’s charity) and Helping Hands (LDS church emergency response organization) were on the ground helping people who were stranded, trapped, wounded/injured, and in desperate need of help.

As soon as the skies allowed multiple helicopter companies and individuals were flying -free of charge- rescue missions, medivacs, and dropping supplies. And again… As soon as the skies allowed multiple companies and individuals with aircraft were already flying in desperately needed supplies.

But most of all…within minutes of the hit by Helene average private citizens were out there rescuing neighbors, clearing roads, and one community even built a temporary bridge within a few hours that was was the only way in/out. As soon as roads would allow it…private citizens from around the country poured into the area to help, there were lines of trucks bringing in food, water, clothes, tents, medicine, etc. for the victims.

For the most part local governments, as I understand it from those on the ground, were not anywhere near prepared for this event and responded very, very poorly. I give them a little break because they are usually not trained to handle this kind of disaster.

As for FEMA…it is nothing less than shameful in regards to their response. Or rather their entire lack of and incompetent response.

So you ask why the problem…or rather what is the problem?

DHS Secretary Alejandro Nicolas Mayorkas stated that FEMA was out of money for the year. Why is Mayorkas getting involved? He is the head of DHS which is the parent government agency for FEMA. And let’s review this as well…FEMA was given a budget of $26billion by the US Congress. That is almost $800million more than than Biden asked for. So Congress steps up and gives FEMA more money than the President or Mayorkas asks…and yet they run out of money?  forHummm…

But it doesn’t stop there…FEMA has spent well over a billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) on illegal immigrants in FY 2023. And don’t let anyone tell you that isn’t true…it is documented and factual. So while FEMA is helping provide cell phones, hotel rooms, daily food money, clothing allowance, transportation, and debit cards to criminal illegal aliens…US CITIZENS CAN’T GET HELP FROM THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT WHEN A DISASTER HITS??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It doesn’t stop there…The US federal government has spent more than $30billion in direct aid to criminal illegal aliens this year…to those criminal illegal aliens who crossed the border illegally just THIS YEAR!!!

What the hell are those dimwits in Washington thinking???? Have they no morals, no ethics, no common sense, no conscience?

But it gets worse…We have sent hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine so they can kill people. Oh, and we’ve sent billions and billions of aid to Israel so they can kill people. Oh, and we sent hundreds of millions of dollars to international organizations to perform abortions around the world. Yeah, we’ve sent nearly $80billion overseas in foreign aid just in FY2023! Yeah, including 3billion dollars to the Muslim Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan!

Need I go on?

All of this…and we can’t get our government to render appropriate aid to victims of a horrific disaster? What has this country come to? Why do we tolerate idiots in Washington to be the lowest kinds of humans on the planet wasting our hard earned money on crap…and allow US citizens to suffer? Why? Why in the world? Can you explain to me why we keep electing these dimwits, morons, and criminals to political office just so they can hire even more useless pieces of oxygen wasting flesh as government employees and bureaucrats?

When does it change? How does it change? Why don’t we have enough sense and courage to change it?

I have made the case that it is an incredible amount of gross incompetence that is the problem…maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is malice or maliciousness? Then again…maybe it is treasonous?

Question is…what do we do about it?

You can help…

If you would like to support a very worthy charity (sponsored by Glenn Beck) that helps immensely in disaster times there is…

For a great christian based charity that also helps in times of disaster needs there is Samaritan’s Purse (Rev Graham’s charity)…

If you are not LDS you can donate to church humanitarian services  by < clicking here > or click the “Helping Hands” logo.

If you are LDS you can donate to “humanitarian relief” efforts when you pay your tithing.

Over the weekend I was prompted to consider two issues…issues of significant importance to me. I looked into it and was astonished at what I found…and the sheer evil that they promote.

First – Transgender surgery.

To be clear…Transgender surgery -sometimes incorrectly refereed to as gender affirming care– is the surgical mutilation of a person’s sexual organs to match those of the opposite gender. It is a mentally ill person (gender dysphoria) undergoing a medical procedure trying to live out their mental illness in a fantasy world.

According to my personal beliefs I can only imagine one other intentional slap in the face of God that would be worse. It is already an established scientific fact that people who think they are the wrong gender suffer from a mental illness called gender dysphoria. For the life of me I can’t understand why any medical professional with any ethics or morals would participate in perpetuating a person’s mental illness by mutilating a person’s genitalia. But it happens.

As a civil-society libertarian and sticking with my core beliefs associated with that political label I give ground to those adults that want to make that decision for themselves and undergo that mutilation in support of their mental illness. But here is where I draw the line…having society pay for it. And even worse…when prison inmates have society pay for it when they are actually prisoners. It is just plain wrong.

Kamala Harris admitted that back in 2019, as California Attorney General, she worked behind the scenes to force the California Department of Corrections to begin paying for transgender surgery for prisoners. What in the world can a normal, decent, moral person be thinking to support this mutilation of a person, let alone having it done to prisoners and having the public pay for it?

Worse yet…Harris supports this mutilation of minors…without the consent of parents if needed.

Second – Abortion.

Let’s be clear…abortion is the killing of an unborn baby. And to make it worse…it is established scientific fact that an unborn baby can feel pain at the 15 week point. Many medical experts and researchers have concluded it could be much earlier than 15 weeks. Almost all abortions are performed by cutting the unborn baby into pieces then using a suction device to remove the pieces from the mother. Many abortion factories such as Planned Parenthood have admitted they also sell the pieces and organs of the babies to research labs, etc.

When repeatedly questioned over the years, Kamala Harris, has not voiced any objection to abortions being performed up to the time of birth. She is on record as actively supporting abortion up to the age of 20 weeks…and not objecting to abortions conducted after that time-frame. And that is established fact through numerous verified sources and taped interviews.

What human being can begin to justify cutting an unborn baby to pieces while the child feels every single cut of a scalpel, tearing of its skin, breaking of its bones, and suffering an agonizing death? What kind of monster advocates for that too be legal?

Summary –

These two issues alone make me realize that evil exists in the world…and one of the most evil is running for President of the United States.

Genitalia mutilation, especially in minors, and abortion are just plain evil…even demonic. And yes, I mean demonic as in the work of demons…the doctrine of Satan. Yes, that Satan…the devil. It is plain and simple to me…the United States is slipping further and further into the grips of hell. And Kamala Harris will drag us further and further into hell.

It is easy to see what evil looks like…just see what they do and what they advocate for. And this is the face of evil…

How to deal with it? We can’t. It will take divine intervention to stop evil…God Himself will have to deal with it.

So what do we do? We pray, stay peaceful, be the best disciple of Christ that we can be, serve others, and pray some more. And then make sure you vote!

God will deal with evil in His time in His way.

If you’ve been following my site for any amount of time you know I truly see the US, and potentially the world, falling apart…and in the not too distant future. And as the election grows closer I see the odds going up that it will happen sooner rather than later. The critical time period is between today and April 19, 2025.

And yes, there could easily be a case made that the world has already fallen apart and just simply getting worse daily.

Why April 19, 2025?

First – It 4/19/25 is the 90-day mark of whomever is sworn in as President of the US. I firmly see that ½ of the country is going to be pissed off no matter who is sworn in as President. And the country is pretty evenly and radically divided between political parties right now. So whichever party’s candidate is sworn in…the other party is going to be both mad as hell and proclaim voter/election fraud. And there are enough whack jobs in both parties to go violent. Just look at the Democrats who are even now trying to assassinate Trump…so far, two failed assassination attempts by the US left. I think the first 90 days after the swearing in (inauguration) will be telling and dangerous.

Second – 4/19/2025 will be the 250 anniversary of Battles of Lexington and Concord. Yeah, those are the battles that started by the British soldiers (today’s ATF/FBI equivalent) opening fire on the local American Colonial militia’s. I think that date will mean something important to some folks…and the government LEOs will act, or overreact, to any perceived, or manufactured, threat. Yes, a potential ‘false flag’ or ‘Black Swan’ event may occur as well.

So the question…Why am I referencing ‘pine trees’ in the title to this article?

Simple…if you knew my glamstead and what I’ve been doing for the last month. I just finished up planting 19 pine trees. I planted two 3-year old Scotch pines, six 2-year old Southwestern White pine trees, and eleven 1-year old Southwestern White pine trees. I planted five 2-year old Afghan pine trees earlier this year. So I guess that makes a total of 24 trees vs 19…sorry.

And if you are interested, I just finished planting 104 Buffalo Grass plugs. Plus the 36 plugs I planted earlier in the summer as a ‘proof of concept’ project.

So, if I am so sure that we are looking at a SHTF scenario, why am I planting trees that I may never see grow?

The easy answer is “life must go on”. Meaning, there is a 100% chance that the US will fall apart and end up in a civil war or revolutionary war situation…complete with economic meltdown. However, as will all ‘risk mitigation’ that is considering only the probability and severity factors. What I don’t know is the timeline factor.

My 4/19/25 timeline factor is a calculated guess; some would call it a WAG. Yeah, probably more accurate with that WAG title. Even with the 4/19 WAG I only give the probability a 60% +/- rating. What I am saying is what if nothing substantial happens by 4/19? Or, the 100% probability has a timeline rating of 5 years, or 35 years???

Yeah, you probably guessed it by now…I am hedging my bet. At our age my wife and I have competing current and future needs. We need to be ready for a SHTF scenario because if we are not…we get sorely burned. However, if there is no significant SHTF event anytime soon….say 30 years…we have to be ready for paying an assisted living facility. Optionally, and preferably, we live out our days on the glamstead and pass it on to my son.

So yes, as preppers we have to be ready for SHTF tomorrow…but we also can’t ignore the potential for having the timeline wrong and it extending far into the future.

Prepare for tomorrow…plan for the future…then go plant some trees.

Yup, the crazy and violent left has struck again. Or, have they? We know a lot about this 2^nd assassination attempt on Trump. They’ve released a flood of information quickly…almost information overload, eh?

There are lots and lots of conspiracy theories out there already. Differing in value to be sure. But, are the right questions being asked. Here are my four:

1. How did the shooter know that Trump would be at that golf course on that day approaching that hole at that time?
2. Why did the shooter have body armor but not have it on? (It was hanging on the fence beside him.)
3. We know that the shooter has had interactions with the feds before, including a potential recruitment related to his prior weapons issues; exactly what is the nature of his connections with the federal government and the government of Ukraine?
4. Back in July the Secret Service agents couldn’t spot a full-sized man with a rifle at less 150 yards climbing onto, then walking around on, and then finally laying on a building’s roof shooting at the former President; so how is it possible that this time a Secret Service agent spots the very tip of a dark rifle barrel sticking out of shaded bushes at a far, far greater distance?

After that last assassination attempt on Trump I asked the question…How far is the left ready and willing to go to keep Trump out of the White House? Now we know.

Here’s my bonus question:

What if it isn’t the ‘left’ and Democrats behind these assassination attempts, then who might it be?

I have my thoughts, what are yours?

Q & A Time…Ask me a question or send me a message…

I almost decided against writing this. Why? I am not in the best of moods this morning; and besides, it more of the same old stuff with one exception. They are now intentionally pushing us to the breaking point.

It is almost over. (But I won’t reveal that till the end.)

Back in March I wrote about the Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua (TDA) and how dangerous they are. They make MS13 look like choir boys. We all heard about Aurora, Colorado and how that gang basically runs entire migrant and low-income housing complexes along with entire neighborhoods. The real problem…TDA is now nationwide. Yup, they are a coast-to-coast criminal enterprise that runs all kinds of criminal activities; murders, store looting, attacks on police, armed robbery, home invasion…you name it, they run it.

And it was under Biden/Harris that they got thousands of their members across the border and into American cities. So tell me again how secure the border is? Wait!!! Try telling me how anyone at DHS, ICE, CBP, DOJ, or even the White House is protecting the country!!! It might be an easier answer to the question…are those agencies complicit?

Oh yeah, don’t forget to count the 40,000 Chinese military age folks that came across the southern border in the last few years. Then there are the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of other gang members from violent foreign gangs that joined TDA in America. Oh, then there are thousands of Muslims that came across…from countries that have sworn to destroy America. Oh, and hundreds of them are known to be ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists! How do we know that? Because DHS told us after they released them into US cities!

Last year I talked about a huge number of unaccompanied minors that the federal government (DHS & ICE) can’t find. Most of those children have since been turned into slave labor or worse…sex workers. Man was I wrong!!! Yeah, that number is now well over 300,000 children that DHS & ICE can no longer find and they aren’t even trying to track anymore!!! Gee, I wonder why that is? I guess someone had to step up to the plate after Jeffery Epstein went out of business.

So the government has consistency lied to us about border security…consistently and intentionally lied to us. Yeah, see…75% of the arrests by NYPD (largest police force in the US) are now illegal immigrants. So I guess illegal immigrants are more likely to commit crimes than legal US residents. Imagine that!

But at least the economy is doing well. Oh, wait.

As you know I’ve been writing articles for years pointing out the real numbers on America’s economy…and how bad of shape we are in. But, I spent two weeks talking to different folks about how it is hitting them personally. And here is part what I found…

Couple #1 – Older, mid-70’s. Man still has to work to pay everyday bills including a mortgage. They are now selling their home and moving into a converted apartment in a barn.

Couple #2 – Empty nesters for the last 4 years, late 40’s. Both work, two children moved out; one after starting college, they other after getting married. One child dropped out of college because he can’t afford it. He moved backed in with parents because he can’t afford an apartment even with a decent job. 2^nd child is moving back in with his young son after a failed marriage. He can’t find an apartment even with a decent job. Both sons can’t afford an apartment together even with both working. The husband’s mother has now moved in with them because she could not longer afford a low-income apartment on her own with only social security and a modest pension. There are now 4 generations living in the same home (multi-generational housing).

Couple #3 – Empty nesters, early 50’s. Both worked but they retired, both with decent pensions, they owned a paid-off home in a very small community but it needed renovating. They had $42,000 cash to finish it. Then Biden came along. Wife now works, husband is on military disability and unable to hold a job. Their reno money gone, house barely livable, no hope in sight to finish the reno. They live paycheck to paycheck and living in squalor.

Couple #4 – Late 60’s, empty nesters, both retired, both drawing Social Security, and there is a very small pension coming in. No debt, no mortgage, no utilities (off-grid). Until 1.5 years ago they would go out once a week on a “date night” for a meal. They no longer can afford that; they now go out once a month at most. Occasionally they will split a sandwich at lunch. They told me there latest move was to buy a Subway foot-ling that is on sale for $6.99, cut it into 4ths, eat ½ of of the sub for lunch and bring home the other half for another meal. They are “OK” financially but walking a very thin edge. They are thinking they may end up back at work part-time. They need a new(er) vehicle; they are driving a 23-yo and 27-yo vehicles. They don’t have the cash for another vehicle and can’t afford a payment for something else. They can’t afford fresh fruit, they buy almost all generic brands, and have cut back almost all meat from their diet due to cost. They watch diligently for grocery sales.

I could go on…but you already know how bad the economy is. The federal government has been lying to us for years about the economic numbers. They have been especially bold about their lies concerning inflation! We don’t have an inflation problem, we don’t have a recession problem…WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION!

Oh hey, remember all those incredible Biden Economic job creation numbers?! Yeah, revised figures now show that at least 1+million of those jobs actually never were created. And that number is estimated to be low…it could range as high as 2million jobs never actually were created. Dang, the federal government lied to us again!

And we know that 2020 Presidential Election was fair, free, and honest…right! Oh, wait. We now know that in Oregon is beginning to release numbers that hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants were illegally registered to vote. And it looks as if the same problem exists in California…but to the tune of thousands of illegal immigrant voters.

But we know that this year’s presidential election is free & fair…and honest…right?! Ah, wait. Even the last debate was rigged by radical left-wing TV debate moderators. ABC had a team of “fact checkers” working against Trump to contradict him “live”…even when the fact checkers intentionally got it wrong. But they did nothing to fact check Harris who streamed lie after lie after lie. But that is just the latest. The DOJ, FBI, and state judicial left-wingers have been targeting Trump for years. Even 90% of all online media has been slanting the election against Trump. There isn’t, and never was going to be, a free and fair Presidential election this year…or any future election.

And then of course there is the 2^nd assassination attempt against Trump. Fortunately unsuccessful. It is proof positive that the radical mentally ill left, along with TPTB, will stop at nothing to keep Trump out of the White House. And they ain’t done yet!

So what is all this about…especially in regards to “pushing us to the breaking point”?

The country in the on the verge of splitting apart in the view of many. That, if it’s true, would be bring civil unrest at best…civil war at worst. But that is not the true issue or problem.

The real problem is the actual complete destruction of America…its complete disintegration. Yes, the country is split politically…Republican vs Democrat. Could be more truthfully considered progressive vs conservative…but that would not be entirely accurate…more than just two groups involved. The country is also fractured between actual US citizens and the 10’s of millions of illegal alien immigrants…ALL of which are criminals.

Then you have two radically different groups in the US…one who believe in and support authoritarianism…conservatives, MAGA, and Republicans generally fall into this category due to their blind support of law enforcement and false patriotism in the military-industrial complex. But in that same authoritarianism category are left-wingers who love to use all levels of government to force people to give up rights and money. These are the folks who want authoritarianism in the US and support endless wars such as the previous war on terror and the current war between Ukraine/NATO & Russia. Opposing them are those who seek peace here in the US, want to limit government power, want justice against bad cops, who don’t support nation building, who want our military to be ‘self-defense’ only, and who want to have the actual freedoms, liberties, and rights that our Founders envisioned.

I could go on about the fracturing of America…but there is no need to, you already get it…or won’t.

Again…So what is all this about…especially in regards to “pushing us to the breaking point”?

We are coming down to the finish line…it is almost over.

In virtually every single aspect of life in America it is now chaos, confusion, crime, confrontation, hatred, violence, and every imaginable sin normalized. And that is exactly what they want and they have us exactly where they want us. The fuse is lit.

It is only a matter of time until the explosion hits…when someone decides that they will be the catalyst that takes it over the edge.

Here is a good summation of how World War 1 started…

1. Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: The war was triggered by the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir on June 28, 1914.
2. Nationalism: Rising nationalist sentiments in various countries fueled tensions and rivalries.
3. Militarism: European nations had built up large militaries and were prepared for conflict.
4. Alliances: Complex alliances (Triple Alliance vs. Triple Entente) created a web of obligations that escalated the conflict.
5. Imperialism: Competition for colonies and global dominance increased friction among European powers.
6. July Crisis: Following the assassination, a series of diplomatic failures and ultimatums led to declarations of war.
7. Mobilization: Countries began mobilizing their armies in response to threats, further escalating the situation.
8. Declaring War: Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, leading to a chain reaction of alliances being activated.
9. Involvement of Major Powers: Major powers quickly became involved, turning a regional conflict into a world war.
10. Long-standing Tensions: Underlying issues from previous conflicts and treaties contributed to the outbreak of war.

Notice anything familiar in that pattern?

Now, take that and create a similar pattern as it applies to the current US environment.

I have been warning folks for a decade…I call it my version of “Chaos Theory”.

We here in the US find ourselves in an untenable situation with criminal violence, political unrest, civil unrest, intense hatred of each other (or at least at the tribal level), government oppression and tyranny, media manipulation, and complete and total uncertainty of virtually everything regarding our future as a people and country. Complete chaos.

Then what happens next is people, only the mostly decent folks, cry out for peace, cry out for safety, cry out for unity, cry out for stability and certainty…cry out for security. And then comes along the answer.

The problem is the answer comes from TPTB…and it is authoritarianism. At first it will appear very appealing…welcomed by all but the criminals and libertarians. The criminals will hate it because they will become targets and crushed. Libertarians (classical liberals) will hate it because they will recognize it for what it is…and how it ends up.

In the end…it will be ‘1984’…it will be totalitarianism. It will be the end of rights, liberties, and freedoms. It will be the Patriot Act on super-steroids! It will make Stalin, Hitler, and Mao look like Boy Scouts. Well, Boy Scouts before they went gay.

Think if Hitler had the current US military at his disposal. Think if Hitler would have had the CIA, NSA, ATF, and FBI at his finger tips to do his bidding. Think if Hitler had the DOJ and DHS to back him up.

That is exactly what we will become…that is exactly the breaking point we are at. We are staring it right in the face. It is here.

Now…what do we do? What do you do? How do we react to it?

I have heard some folks saying ‘violence is the answer’…and that time is now. Well, think that one through for a few minutes. I am not saying our God-given right to self-defense doesn’t apply, but going offensive is not.

Think about the American Revolution…our Founders did everything that they could to avoid the aggressiveness of the British Empire. It wasn’t until 700 British troops (ATF equivalent) opened fire on Colonial Americans while attempting to confiscate militia weapons and supplies. At that point the Colonists had every right to defend themselves. But does that apply today? Are we there now?

Or, are we working our way through the WWI list?

Then again…maybe we are on the verge of something else entirely. Maybe we are seeing the dark demonic forces trying to do their very best to destroy the good in the world. Maybe we are seeing the run-up to the Second Coming. If we are…then how does that impact/affect our actions?

Two things we know for sure; 1) the US federal government is not working in the best interests of the US and its citizens, 2) the US federal government lies about everything, you can’t believe a single word they say, and you can’t trust the US federal government at all…they are a force of evil.

For the sake of sanity, what is the best course of action? For the sake of righteousness, what is the best course of action? I say…it’s almost over…

Pray, Plan, Prepare, Practice !

It is the time for us to be peaceable.
