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.

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

For months now there have been rumors that law enforcement agencies at all levels have been preparing for riots related to the upcoming Presidential election. Some rumors exist that some agencies, such as federal agencies, have been creating contingency plans in case of, and expecting, civil war. I have been talking about the real possibility of riots and/or civil war related to the election. However, I’ve never been able to confirm first-hand of law enforcement actually taking preparation steps…and proving it to be true.

Well, that changed.

I can now tell you from first-hand information that law enforcement agencies are in-fact purchasing massive amounts of riot and civil disturbance equipment and supplies. They are expecting riots of some scale related to the Presidential election. And they are very concerned about rioting potential.

I spoke with the person in a very, very large agency who actually is responsible for purchasing the gear and equipment. It is true and real…they are expecting and planning for it. And they expect more issues if KH is declared the winner.

What are those “issues”? I am not going to say because I don’t want to jeopardize my source nor do I want a visit from any unwanted…ahhhhhhh…folks dressed in black.

So what does this mean to you?

I am not sure to be 100% honest with you…mostly because I don’t know your situation or your intentions. For me…

1. I will not be attending any political gatherings for the foreseeable future…or ever again.
2. I will put my Situational Awareness on ‘high’ around crowds in public.
3. I will ensure that I carry but stay hyper-aware to not use unless given absolutely no alternative.
4. I will be highly skeptical of any ‘news’ releases or statements regarding the election.
5. I will be slow to respond to any adverse ‘news’ releases or statements regarding the election.
6. I will complete AHT’s check lists at least 10-days prior to the election.
7. I will have both vehicles and spare fuel cans full at least 2-days prior to the election.

So there you have it…pray, plan, prepare, practice.

Some of you won’t be happy with me, some may not believe me, and I’m okay with that…but here is what I see coming as of now. I want to talk purely from a political perspective for a minute, then I will touch on the dark side.

Trump is doing his very best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Trump is campaigning as if he wants to, intends to, lose this election. He just can’t control his mouth or his staff. He is making one blunder after another. Makes a person wonder what his real intentions are.

• Trump makes a dumb-ass remark about about Medal of Honor recipients.
• His idiot staff gets into an ‘incident’ and Arlington National Cemetery.
• He fights over freaking microphones at the upcoming debate.
• He whines about being indicted again.
• And on and on and on…idiot!

You see there are 35 – 40% of each candidates’ base that will vote for their nominee no matter what. So the people that should be romanced are the 20 – 30% of potential voters…the undecideds. And you don’t win over many in that group the way Trump is going about it…and the poll numbers are showing just that.

Trump needs to talk about making America great and how he will do it. Positive messaging. He needs to talk about how America has potential and how he will help that happen. Talk about what his polices and plans are. He needs to focus on helping all of us that are hurting financially from the Biden/Harris years. And then shut his damn mouth!

Vance can talk about the pathetic, dangerous, and evil plans/intentions/policies coming from the Harris/Walz camp. Vance can talk about Harris being a loser and terrible at her job for the last 4 years. Let PACs and others belittle, mock her, and attack her personally and such.

Neither candidate needs to worry about their base voters…and Trump is not doing the right things to gain the undecideds. At this rate and with this current strategy Trump will lose. Again, Trump is not acting like, nor appearing the least bit Presidential. He is coming off as little more than a petulant child, school yard bully, out of touch, or an idiot to most of those not in his base.

On the other hand…the DNC rallied around Harris and Walz in an amazing feat that I didn’t think possible! They are rebranding Harris at light speed and as if this is a fantasy world. All the heavyweight Democrats have come to back her and she is the media’s wonder woman. Her poll numbers are looking better and better every day…and overtaking Trump in a bunch of battleground states. The Dems are doing it all right at this point.

For those of you that want to argue my points or simply ignore them…go away! You are thinking logically, going about this intelligently, and living in reality…and that is NOT politics. Harris is still a whack job, empty headed, radical leftist that is dumber than a box of rocks…and Trump would be a much better President…PERIOD! That’s the truth…PERIOD!

Politics, especially in this day and age, is all about perception. We know that the Dem base are extremely ignorant people or committed to overthrowing the country. They see Harris as a great President and wonderful choice. Trump’s base is…well, let’s call them his base.

The folks that are undecided are for the most part uninformed, to be gentle and kind. Most of them couldn’t tell you how many SCOTUS justices there are, who the vice president is, when WW2 was, etc. To them EVERYTHING is based on glitz, glamour, sound bite, 15 second videos, wardrobe, smiles, rappers, movie stars, and Internet influencers. Harris is more appealing to them…far more than Trump. Harris is winning the competition for the 20 – 30% that will decide this election…period! And she is doing so by a wide margin.

Now, the dark side…

We knew all along that the media and the government in the 2016 and 2020 elections conspired against Trump. In the last couple of weeks we received absolute confirmation from those involved that was exactly the case. It was election interference pure and simple…and illegal as hell! We are now seeing it again with Google, Facebook, etc….they have openly admitted to it.

We also knew all along that the indictments, charges, and trials against Trump were all manufactured to defame him and tarnish Trump with the center folks. Election interference again. And we saw just this week they are renewing that effort again…election interference…weaponized justice system.

And then there is an assassination attempt against Trump! The dark side is working overtime.

Summary –

At this point in time, Harris will become President.

She has two clear-cut paths to the White House; 1) she is winning the conventional political path, 2) the dark forces are rallying against Trump to put Harris in the White House. It is looking more and more dim for Trump with each passing week. If Trump doesn’t change his strategy…Trump will lose.

What does this all mean?

Prepare for President Harris occupying the White House.

I will tell you point blank…if Harris becomes President…hell comes to the USA. You better start planning and preparing for it.

Harris with that kind of power…think about it…what does your gut tell, what does your instinct say, what does the Spirit whisper to you?

Pray and vote!

Yesterday I wrote an article “I’m done with it!” It pretty much sums up a great deal of what is in my head and heart right now. The world is so screwed at this point in time I struggle to find a way to describe it. And honestly…I don’t believe there is a single thing that you and I can do to prevent the destruction of the USA. But, I do believe there is something we can do to at least slow down the destruction…at least I hope so. At this time…

I am endorsing, and will be voting Trump for President in the 2024 election.

Let me clarify…

• I don’t think he is a moral person,
• I don’t think he is a particularly good leader,
• I know for a fact that he is a huge deficit spender,
• I know for a fact he is not a big believer in, nor supporter of, the US Constitution.

But I do know he is a far better option that Kamala. Harris/Walz would throw us into the laps of globalists and authoritarian elites. Harris/Walz would be the final step turning the US into a Communist/Socialist/Marxist country prior to handing us over to the global authoritarians. It would literally be the final nail in the US coffin.

Voting for Trump doesn’t mean he will be elected…even if he wins the required votes to legally do so. Trump becoming President doesn’t mean the country is saved. In my opinion voting for Trump simply will slow down the destruction…minimally, at best.

All that being said…Harris/Walz advocate Communist/Socialist/Marxist principles, and they clearly are authoritarian proponents. They advocate for everything our Founding Fathers stood against. Harris/Walz are hardcore authoritarians/totalitarians and serve global elite masters. They are unified in their mission/goal of destroying America through illegal immigration regardless of the cost to human lives. Clearly, they are demonic in their beliefs and actions.

I will write more on this in the coming days…and it will be important for me to share those thoughts.

Vote !

Vote Trump for President !

It’s been gnawing away at me for weeks now; and it has been more than a little disturbing to say the least. Disturbing my sleep, disturbing my interactions with people, and disturbing my relationship with my wife. Thankfully she is understanding and very tolerant of me. Saturday it began to clarify, Sunday morning I finally figured it out. To sum it up quite nicely…I’m done with it.

Before I get to the “it” let me explain a point. I’ve been watching a number of documentaries and docudramas for a couple of months regarding the years just before the outbreak of WWII. Very little of what I watched was in regards to governments and militaries, mostly about individuals, their families, and how history was impacting them in real-time. Bottom line…very, very few of them knew, or understood, what was actually happening and how it would eventually impact them. The impacts were universally negative, often fatally so. We are there now, here in our country, globally as well; history is transpiring in real-time and almost all are blind to what the reality of it truly is.

Does that mean another world war is about to start? I don’t know. Maybe. Multiple situations around the world could lead to it overnight should one wrong step occur, even a minor one. The American and international military-industrial complex are begging for it. But my point is…devastation is occurring even as you read this. Families are being torn apart, individuals destroyed, governments subjugating their citizens, politics and politicians dividing us even more, and worse.

Let me explain Saturday’s clarification. Saturday my dear wife and I went to town to shop and split a sandwich at a local sub-shop for lunch. First stop was Dollar Tree where she just wanted to take her time and look for a number of specific items and browse the shelves. Ah, not exactly my idea of a good time, I would wait in the truck. I dropped her off at the front door, drove 30 yards, pulled into a parking spot. And then I spotted the offender.

About 100 feet in front of me was this fairly junky car, with an overweight, late-30’s ugly man behind the wheel…just sitting in the row between two lanes of parked vehicles. Looked as if he was waiting for someone. And then it happened! He threw this big white paper napkin out of the window onto the ground like he owned the place. Blatant littering…Oh no! No sir! Not today, not here, not him, not in front of me, no sir!

I bolted out of the truck, and walked briskly like a Patriot missile at his car. About 1/2-way there it looked as if he might pull away so, in my most harsh command voice, I hollered, “Don’t throw your trash out like that!” I was pissed.

Her head snapped around like it was spring loaded and looked me straight in the eyes. Yeah, I said “her”. It was some ‘white trash woman’ who then apologized, “I’m sorry sir. I didn’t mean to do that.” Yeah, right. But I kept my mouth shut. Partially because it was a woman, mostly because I was so pissed that she had no regard for anyone other than herself and her assumed “right” to throw her trash wherever she wanted. It would then be someone else’s problem.

Don’t lecture me, or even point out, my attitude, my judgment of her, or my unChristian behavior. I am way ahead of you on all of that…and dealing with it. At least trying to.

I picked up the napkin while she sat in her car, she apologized again, and offered to take it back if I would hand it to her. I refused to answer her, and stomped off with the napkin that ended up on the floor in the back of the truck. As I got behind the wheel of my truck I realized two things; 1) I wasn’t carrying and I was glad of that fact, 2) I was glad I stood up, spoke up, and did something.

And no, I don’t think I changed the world that day, or even changed that woman in any way. But it did help me to understand clearly…if we don’t do anything, then nothing will ever change. Tolerance will lose the day.

Hang in there with me another minute or two…and I will get to the “I’m done with it” part of this post.

Sunday morning when I woke up I fully realized that very, very few people get it when it comes to where we are in this country right now…hell, where we are in this world right now. Few understand the situation for what it is, the chains, the plan, the history that is taking place in real-time, or the dire nature of it all. I include myself in that category as well, so don’t think I am playing the role of some know-it-all. But, I can tell you this…their chains have bound us to destruction.

Indulge me if you would, please…

When a person wakes-up in the morning they wake up in a bed covered in sheets and blankets…all of which, the manufacturing of, is controlled by the government. They turn on the lights with power that is extremely controlled, maybe even supplied, by the government. They go to the bathroom and flush a toilette and wash their hands…with water controlled by government, going into a sewer system controlled by the government. Even the towel they dry their hands on is manufactured under control of the government; and they paid tax on that towel, the bed, the sheets and blankets, the water, electricity…all of it!

That same person eats breakfast of food that is controlled by the government from start to finish, field to table; and they probably paid tax on it when they bought it. Then they dress in clothes whose manufacturing was controlled by government; and they paid tax when they bought those clothes. They get in their car and drive to work…the vehicle manufacturing and parts all tightly controlled and regulated by the government on a road built by the government. And yes, once again, taxes paid on the car when bought…and each year thereafter for the privileged to drive it. Using gasoline controlled by the government from the moment the oil is drawn from the ground, refined, and sold…with extremely high taxes being paid on it.

The same person gets to their job…that is controlled by the government from start to finish. Their employer has to meet hundreds of thousands of government laws, regulations, and policies. And once again, the tax man waits in the shadows for a huge list of taxes that must be paid by both the employer and the employee…or they go to prison after having everything taken from them by the government.

On the way home from work the person remembers it is payday…yea! Then they remember that by the time they pay all their combined taxes for the year…they work for various levels of government 1/2-half of each year of their life just to pay those various taxes. They arrive home whose design and construction all had to be approved by government…and should they fail to pay their property tax bill each year, they will lose that home to government bureaucrats. Their child walks in the front door from school…schooling that is required by the government and run by the government with teachers certified by the government…all of which is paid for by taxes…even if you don’t have children in school.

The family eats dinner, once again whose food is tightly controlled by the government. Then watch TV whose entire industry and infrastructure is regulated by the government. They check their email via the Internet which is regulated and monitored by the government. Then they get a call from a friend on their cellphone…that is controlled, regulated, monitored, and heavily taxed by the government.

What is my point? They have laid chains on us to the point where we are bound arm and leg; chains laid across our backs until we are bent to our knees by a government that controls us and takes our money…on threat of prison and at point of a gun.

“Oh, no!” you say. “I am free to choose!” you say.

Okay…tell me a choice where the government is not in control of or regulates that choice in some way…and taxes it in another. Go ahead…try it…I dare you.

There is one area that I hold dear where the government is less in control…spiritual matters. But even there the government controls what is preached from the pulpit…at the threat of a church losing tax exempt status, in buildings controlled by government regulations. If your pastor, preacher, or minister is paid then once again…here comes government control and taxes.

But I can pray in secret and personally worship as I please…to a point. If you live in England you can’t. There they can and they have proven they will arrest you even for having a prayer in your heart across the street from a baby murder factory (yes, abortion clinic). Even in the US you can’t pray and sing hymns outside of an abortion factory without an FBI SWAT team raiding your home and violently hauling you off to prison while holding your children at gun point.

So even in the US, even with the Bill of Rights’ First Amendment, the government is in control. And don’t make me laugh with the other Amendments guaranteeing rights, freedoms and liberties. They are no longer recognized by those, even those, who supposedly are charged with protecting them.

Think about this…we have a government telling us that we must honor a mentally ill man who is pretending to be a woman, and their right to use a restroom and showers with young girls! We have to stand by and watch biological men beat the shit out of biological women in the Olympics boxing matches…and cheer them on. We have to stand by and praise ‘pride’ parades of mental cases making fools of themselves while we attend HR classes at school and work telling us how straight white males have caused every problem known to mankind. If we don’t…then we are the villain and demonized by the government.

We spend a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) a year on a military that occupies countries around the world…’protecting’ us…yeah right. And we do so when we can’t even provide housing and healthcare to our current disabled and sick veterans. We praise the might of that same military in parades and wrapping ourselves in flags of patriotism…while our leaders make that same military kill hundreds of thousands of civilians over the last two decades. Men, women, and children killed in countries that were never a real threat to us at all. All the while this same military establishment is in direct opposition to what our Founding Fathers believed in…and whose very existence isn’t even authorized in the Constitution.

We allow police chiefs and sheriffs to write billions of dollars of speeding and parking tickets each year while not solving rapes, murders, violent assaults, or property crimes. We build a federal law enforcement army of hundreds of thousands…not authorized in the Constitution and who kill US citizens at will…to say nothing of their ignoring rights liberties, and freedoms of US citizens.

We allow our federal government to bring in millions and millions and millions of criminals, and the worst of the worst people, from around the world…who cost us trillions of dollars and commit horrendous crimes against our wives, mothers, and children. And many of whom have even more sinister and evil plans.

Brothers and sisters…we are bound in chains…arm and leg…the chains have also been laid across our backs until we have fallen to our knees as slaves. Slaves to our master…the government…fully and completely subservient to them. And we’ve done it willingly and actually welcomed those chains for the last 150 years…until they have bound us so tight we can no longer shake them off…or even stand on our own two feet.

They have been cunning and scheming…they have used deceit and deception, bribes and threats. We have welcomed the chains as safety nets, as progress, some masked as freedoms…all light as feathers. Chains all the same.

Worse of all are the chains that are now binding our souls. Chains where Christians think that abortion is not just a right but a perfectly acceptable option. Chains where good is evil, evil is good. Chains that promote men can be women, and women can be men. Chains where false patriotism praises war-mongering and senseless killing of innocents. Chains where governments dictate what is right and what is wrong, not God. Chains so deeply binding our souls that we no longer even recognize many, if not most, of those chains that bind us.

Chains that have brought us to our knees to bow to the god of government and evil. Chains that have already destroyed the souls of millions, maybe more. Chains, that even light as a feather as they were being laid, threaten to destroy us even now…completely and totally destroy us.

“I’m done with it.” I will no longer allow those chains to be laid, I will not accept the evils of this world, I will not tolerate the chains of an unrighteous and totalitarian, God-hating, government hell-bent on destroying us. I will work to throw off those chains.

I’m done with it.
