> > Running out of water !

> > This is a first ever kind of a post here on AHTrimble.com ! !

I have been wanting to toy around with doing videos for quite awhile, just never could get enough time to learn an editor and everything that goes along with producing videos. Well, today is the day!!

For the better part of 2 weeks we were running out of water when irrigating the fruit trees, the gardens, and the newly planted grass. Let me clarify…we have a great well, 1-year old solar pump set-up, and well planned/installed plumbing system. The problem was we were using a lot of water to irrigate during the day, the storage tank not being full at the end of the day, and then the need to starting watering before the sun was too high in the sky with its associated heat (think ‘heat lamp’).

After much thought and exploring different ideas/solutions it became real clear that we didn’t have enough water ‘stored’ by the end of the day. We need about 600 – 800 gallons of water to start the day irrigating before the solar pump kicks on to pump water up to the storage tank. The only viable solution was a second water tank…and some minor adjustment to the float switch to turn on when there was still more water in the tank and fill the tank to its limit.

So here is the video…our first video on AHTrimble.com…hopefully not our last. I would appreciate hearing from you on what you think of the video and how we did installing the tank.

There is a cool story on how we got both the first and second water tanks…other stories for another time.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

How sure are you that there will be a stock market crash in 2025?

  • From: TM

How sure are you that there will be a stock market crash in 2025?

Great question, trick question, touchy question…difficult question.

Remember I use the risk management model for what I think is coming. That includes probability, severity, and timeline. You can learn more about that methodology by < clicking here >

When I look at past occurrences of market troubles here in the US it becomes apparent that any stock market issue here in the US ripples out globally pretty quickly. There is truth in the saying “when America sneezes, the world gets a cold.” To me, any stock market crash here in the US will be devastating to the US economy as a whole…and it would bring down the entire economic/financial system. That would spread worldwide quickly and with devastation. All that being said I would rate the severity aspect as ‘extreme’.

Now comes the tricky part…probability. Based on pure facts, 100% historical facts…there is a 100% probability that the US stock market will crash and the entire US economy along with it. Which goes first is another discussion, economy vs market. The ‘timeline’ to that probability is unknown in my opinion…but it will definitely happen. I am guessing within 10 – 25 years for sure.

But that doesn’t answer your question. Your specific ‘timeline’ qualifier changes the equation considerably.

Here are some factors that I am taking into consideration:

  • 2024 Presidential election

  • Two presidential candidates that appear to be polar opposites and the country split pretty evenly in their support

  • Current financial condition of the US economy

  • Here is one that I struggle to quantify…the elites lust for absolute power.

We all know that Biden is nothing more than a figure head, he is clearly not running the country, it is not possible for him to do so. He is close to entering the final stages of dementia and he is totally incapable of leading this administration. So there is a power structure behind him that is calling the shots and running the government…I call them the Elites.

Then you have Trump who has a very vocal and passionate base of support…along with a fair number of crazies in that bunch capable of just about anything. Trump’s legal problems are well-known and he is facing the real possibility of prison time. But I doubt that his base would sit-by and allow that to happen.

These campaign/election/selection issues make the country very, very unstable right now. That instability alone could tank the markets on any given day. But there is also the very real threat of the elites behind Biden using a crash as a tactic to forego, delay, or dramatically move the election/selection.

Taking all this into consideration there are several ‘timeline’ and ‘probability’ combinations between now and the end of 2025. It looks something like this:

Timeline = by election day / Probability = high (very high if is looks as if Biden will lose by a landslide)

Timeline = after election before inauguration / Probability = very high (if Trump wins)

Timeline = after election before inauguration / Probability = low (if Biden wins)

Timeline = between now and end of 2025 / Probability = moderately high (regardless of who wins)

Now, back to your question…

I am not confident that there will be a ‘crash’ by the end of 2025…according to my ‘gut feeling’. The operative word being ‘confident’. That being said…my head tells me that all the key economic indicators show that a crash by the end of 2025 is virtually unavoidable. And there are plenty of ‘experts’ to back that up. So there is a serious conflict for me on what will happen. Then add in the whole election/selection thing and it gets real cloudy.

So what to do?

You have to make up your own mind on what to do for you and your family…I can’t make that decision or give you advice on that. For me and my wife…well, we are playing both games. Here’s what we are doing:

  1. Zero debt.
  2. Cash fund on hand.
  3. At least a year’s supply of everything necessities on hand.
  4. Keeping about 1/3 of our modest IRA in a S&P 500 index fund.
  5. Keeping our Situational Awareness on high.

Here is an ‘unknown’ to consider…the Elites plan. By that I mean, the elites running this country have a plan. The goal of that plan is an authoritarian state, they have made that clear on a number of occasions. The easiest way to implement the final stage(s) of their plan is martial law, or something similar. The easiest way to do that is having the citizenry in a state of panic, chaos, anger, desperation, and fear. The single easiest way to trigger all of that is a stock market crash and/or a bank run. At any time the Elites could push either of those buttons. So the big ‘unknown’…the Elites plan with their timeline.

My advice…pray, plan, prepare, practice.

I know I wandered around quite a bit on you trying to answer your question…I hope I was of some help.

Two-Party Political System Alternative?

  • xpansan

What is your proposal in place of a two-party political system? Thanks for the great article!

RE: Points/Events in History Destroying the United States

I don’t have one off the top of my head. I would have to go back and get seriously into the weeds regarding what our Founders set-up originally and why. Then I would look at the natural evolution with today’s technology. Example: Transporting ballot boxes by truck/van/car vs horse.

That being said…It would take an act of Congress, more likely an Amendment to the Constitution, to get it into law. Do you see either the House or the Senate willing to pass such a law? And if they did, can you imagine any President signing it into law? As for an Amendment…can you even begin to imagine enough states ratifying such an Amendment to make it Constitutional?

In my view…there is ZERO chance that we can eliminate a 2-party system via the government. Both parties are drunk on the power they have…and no way they would forego hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe billions, that they take into their party and candidates’ coffers! Their (Republican & Democrat Parties) lust after power and wealth way ahead of what is good for the country. They will give up neither wealth nor power…regardless of how good it would be for the country.

Okay, so there are two chances to eliminate the 2-party system that I have mentioned before:

1) Divine intervention

2) We the People

You are 100% wrong about the economy!

AH Trimble Feedback and Comments

  • From: anonymous

You are 100% wrong about the economy! I see it doing very well. I am making good money, just bought a house, and contribute every payday to my 401k. Why do you spread disinformation?

Wow! You are very fortunate indeed. You are an anomaly in this economy. The label of your experience is commonly referred to as a positive micro-economy. The wider economy (i.e. the national US economy) is refereed to as the “macro-economy” and is doing very, very badly…and virtually every signal shows that to be true.

The difference between macro and micro is significant, but you have probably already been exposed to those terms prior to this response. For commonality, macro refers to a large sampling, micro to a very small sampling of whatever is being discussed.

Example #1: The global economy (macro-economy) might be doing poorly, but Vietnam’s economy (micro-economy) might be doing very well.

Example #2: The US economy (macro-economy) might be in very rough shape, but the Texas economy (micro-economy) may be booming.

Example #3 – a more extreme example: The US economy (macro-economy) might be tanking, but your personal/family economic situation (micro-economy) might be very stable and doing quite well.

Look at it this way…macro is the whole pie, micro is one bite of one piece of that pie. The pie could be a raspberry and blackberry pie with equal amounts of both kinds of berries. But, if your one bite has only 1 raspberry in it, then you could argue that it is only a raspberry pie when in-fact the whole pie is an equal combination of both.

Now, it doesn’t matter what is driving a micro-economy to be doing better than a macro-economy…there could be endless numbers of reasons. For example; 1) a job promotion with bonus and raise, 2) a very large commission check from a sale, 3) a high-demand job that pays extremely well, etc.

But let there be no doubt sir…the US economy is on life-support and will fail (or already has). Let me give you an example of ‘experts’ recently since you evidently don’t believe me:

  • 6/2/2024 – Key Engines of US Consumer Spending Are Losing Steam All at Once (Bloomberg)
  • 6/2/2024 – U.S. Money Supply Is Doing Something So Scarce That It Hasn’t Happened Since the Great Depression (Motely Fool) – [WARNING: the Money Supply is officially contracting.

  • 6/7/2024 – Unemployment Rose, first time in 2 years (CNN)
  • 6/11/2024 – Pimco Warns of More US Regional Bank Failures (Bloomberg)

The above are news stories from last week when I was originally responding to your question raised. Let me add the below, a partial list of layoff issues for 2024:

Remember that this disastrous economy is being felt by everyone, even the big boys…UPS expects to layoff 12,000 people this year. And don’t forget that tech companies have laid off 100,000 people so far in 2024 with huge numbers still expected. For a name-brand sampling…Tesla is expected to layoff 14000 people, Google 12000, Microsoft & Meta 10000 each, Amazon 17000, etc, etc, etc.

So believe what you will, your choice. And I am certainly glad and grateful that you are doing so well. I hope you are spreading some of that financial love around to those in need such as your church.

But let me leave this with you from 2 days ago…

There’s a stock market crash coming in 2025 as the ‘bubble of all bubbles’ bursts,” says Harvard Business School economist Harry Dent. Dent estimated that the bubble has been forming for the past 14 years, far longer than most bubbles in history, which typically last for five or six years before bursting, he said.

“That’s partly because markets have been flooded with stimulus since the 2008 downturn, Dent said. Markets have benefited from around $27 trillion in stimulus since the financial crisis, he estimated, based on accumulated budget deficits and the amount of cash printed since then.”

“Bubbles are not followed by recessions. They’re followed by depressions,” Dent said. “I can tell you there has not been one bubble — and this is far larger and longer — on major bubble in history that has not ended badly, period.”

Find the nuggets in there and see what you think.

You know…I am no expert and probably wrong about the economy…don’t you think? Well, at least I hope and pray I’m completely wrong.

Points/Events in History Destroying the United States

  • From: unknown

When did the USA crash & burn?

First off, let’s agree what “crash & burn” means. I believe you are referring to transitioning from a Constitutional Republic established by our Founders to the hideous and oppressive political monster we struggle under today. That being the case…

I am not convinced that there is a single event that can be pointed to that destroyed the US as a Constitutional Republic…or rather began its destruction. To fully understand that path of destruction I think it wise to understand what the Founding Fathers saw as a threat to the new Constitutional Republic and how to avoid it.

The Founders saw utter evil in:

  • The British Empire system of an all-powerful central government (oppression & tyranny).
  • A standing, professional army to enforce that power.
  • A tightly controlled economic system that didn’t allow for free markets, and the application of excessive taxes.
  • Worshiping a King more than, or equal to, God.

Once the colonies defeated the British Empire they desired to establish safeguards against such a tyrannical and oppressive government taking root in America. To that end they established preventative ideals/principles:

  1. Recognize God in defeating the British and inspiring both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Knowing full well both were meant only for a moral and righteous people. Doing so by integrating God into public life and the government process.
  2. Creating the Constitution to severely limit the federal government in both scope and power; and making it subservient to state governments in all matters excepting international relations.
  3. Established a state-based militia style of a military system to ensure that there was no professional, standing all-powerful army to enforce tyranny or to support a despotic leader.
  4. Ensuring that the Constitution supported a free-market system, free from any but nominal federal government control.
  5. Establish a gold/silver standard for the US dollar ensuring a solid and internationally recognized currency, eliminating the economy destroying fiat currency potential.
  6. Created the Bill of Rights to ensure that a federal government would not be able to establish an oppressive and tyrannical form of government against US citizens. And the Second Amendment was specifically adopted to ensure that the citizens of the US and states could keep the federal government from oppressing the people. Or, should the federal government become tyrannical and oppressive, the Second Amendment and militia style military would ensure that such government could be replaced as per the Declaration of Independence should the ballot box fail to remedy the situation.

So all that being said, here are the points in history that I believe have led the US federal government to become even worse, far worse, than the British Empire ever was:

  • 1909 – Corporate Income Tax: Legalized corporate tax transferring massive amount of wealth annually from US corporations to a bureaucratic federal government.
  • 1913 – The establishment of The Federal Reserve: Moved control of the US economy and currency away from the government and into the hands of private banks unaccountable to anyone. Transferring the entire control of the US economy into the hands of a few powerful individuals. It ensured the eventual complete destruction of a free-market economic system.
  • 1913 – Sixteenth Amendment: Legalized progressive income tax transferring massive amount of wealth annually from individual US citizens to a bureaucratic federal government.
  • 1913 – Seventeenth Amendment: Removal of power from the states to elect Senators via state legislatures. Effectively eliminating the power of state governments to be a check and balance on the federal government.
  • 1916 – Estate Tax: Legalized a tax on people who died transferring massive amount of wealth from dead individual US citizens to a bureaucratic federal government. The estate tax collections that had already been additionally taxed annually via federal income tax.
  • 1918 – World War I: The US realized just how powerful of a military the country could wield, basically unmatched in the world. A large, standing, professional army was created in direct opposition to the Founders’ intent and design.
  • 1932 – Gift Tax: Legalized tax on people who gave money to others, primarily family, transferring significant wealth annually from individual US citizens/families to a bureaucratic federal government. The money that had already been taxed annually via federal income tax.
  • 1934 – The National Firearms Act: Ensured the eventual total destruction of the Second Amendment and eliminating the ability of US citizens to oppose government tyranny and oppression.
  • 1935 – The Federal Bureau of Investigation: The creation of the FBI, the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world, destroyed any last hopes that the Constitution and Bill of Rights would remain intact and remain the law of the land protecting the rights/liberties/freedoms of US citizens.
  • 1945 – Military-Industrial Complex created/expanded: By the end of WW2 virtual control of the US military moved into private hands of industry via the monetary influence of decision makers inside the military and Congress. The number of “military actions” increased dramatically moving 10’s of trillions of dollars into a few private industries.
  • 1947 – Central Intelligence Agency: The creation of the CIA gave unlimited power, legal or otherwise, to the federal government to kill, imprison, or torture at will anyone, anywhere, for any reason without accountability or legal basis. This included political leaders, military leaders, entire governments, and any other person they deemed worthy of such treatment…foreign or domestic.
  • 1947 – Separation of Church and State: Everson v. Board of Education established the SCOTUS basis of eliminating God from the public square and ensuring the total fall of morality in public life.
  • 1962 – School Prayer Outlawed: Nine judges (SCOTUS) made the decision to eliminate prayer from schools.
  • 1971 – Gold standard abandoned: When the US abandoned the gold standard as a monetary policy it enabled a fiat currency and the adoption of Modern Monetary Theory. This move ensured the eventual collapse of the US currency and economy.
  • 1972 – ATF created: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), commonly referred to as the ATF was established. This gave the federal government a dedicated law enforcement agency whose sole mission was the elimination of the Second Amendment and the imprisonment or murder of alleged Second Amendment violators.
  • 1973 – Abortion legalized: Roe v. Wade decision by nine judges (SCOTUS) to legalize abortion has led to the death of 10’s of millions of babies in the US. A huge loss of life and human potential as well as an unfathomable offense against God. Infanticide on an unimaginable scale.
  • 1973 – National Debt: By 1973 the national debt began its unlimited, albeit a slow, rise since the US dollar was now a fiat currency.
  • 2001 – The Patriot Act: Ensured the immediate or eventual elimination of any and all Constitutional rights of US citizens.
  • 2002 – The Homeland Security Act: This gave ability to enforce the eventual destruction of all Constitutional under the Patriot Act, including creating an entire federal level ‘department’ (DHS) dedicated to the destruction of all rights/liberties/freedoms under the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
  • 2002 – National Debt: In 2002 the national debt began its out-of-control, skyrocketing rise with full implementation of Modern Monetary Theory.
  • 2007 – The Great Recession: While the huge transfer of wealth from average US citizens to the country’s wealthy elite was significant in itself (largest in the history of the world), the methodology implemented to “correct/stop” the economy free-fall was far worse. The federal government, under Bush #2 direction, used communist principles and “crony capitalism” principles to forever change the US financial system and remove any last vestiges of a free-market system from the US.
  • 2016 – Banana Republic (FBI): The FBI embedded spies in the campaign staff of an opposition US Presidential campaign creating a weaponized political system in the US (i.e. third-world Banana Republic).
  • 2017 – Banana Republic (FBI & CIA): the FBI in coordination with the CIA began a coup against a sitting US President to protect the DeepState and ensure the continuance of the fundamental transformation of the US.
  • 2020 – Banana Republic (FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.): the FBI in coordination with the DOJ and CIA, along with mainstream media, social media, and tech companies began the largest election interference operation in US history ensuring the election ‘loss’ of a sitting US President.

In my opinion you can take each of these history points and directly apply them to the destruction of each of the 6 principles/ideals of the Founders…the foundation of the former US Constitutional Republic.

Ironically all the events noted above have occurred under both Democrat and Republican Presidents, and under both Democrat and Republican controlled Congresses. That to me points to one thing…the parties are one-in-the-same…there is no fundamental difference in their true intentions, motivations, and goals. Sadly our very first President, George Washington, rang the warning bell loud and clear over 200 years ago against the threat/danger of a two-party political system…and we as a country ignored that warning.

By ignoring that warning and allowing the unbridled lust for power and money to prevail in our political system we find ourselves suffering under an even worse situation than the British imposed on the early American Colonists. Today, tyranny, oppression, and despotism through an all-powerful, out-of-control federal government rules over us. The Democrats and Republicans have achieved their initial goals…but they aren’t done yet.

To me there is only a single, multi-faceted, answer to fix this, if there is one at all, and that is:

  1. The elimination of the two-party political system.
  2. The total and complete restoration of the Constitution (including the Bill of Rights) as intended and designed by the Founders.
  3. Understand, believe in, and be willing to implement the Declaration of Independence when/if needed.
  4. The return of God to American life…private and public.

Until such occurs, or divine intervention itself, the US has collapsed, the Constitutional Republic is a long forgotten ideal, and evil reigns in the US.

The absolute sad part…I believe that Americans are truly, essentially awesome good people with big hearts and compassionate souls. The national cancer is the US federal government…and it has been intentionally killing everything good and right in America bit-by-bit for over a hundred years. Americans deserve more than this federal government, its masters, and the ruling class.

What I have done next is identify the Founders’ ideals/principles into categories and then listed each historic event under that category to show the destruction of that ideal/principle.

God/Morals/Righteous Nation

  • 1947 – Separation of Church and State
  • 1962 – School Prayer Outlawed
  • 1973 – Abortion legalized

Limited Federal Government

  • 1913 – Sixteenth Amendment (Income Tax)
  • 1913 – Seventeenth Amendment (States’ check & balance)
  • 1916 – Estate Tax
  • 1932 – Gift Tax
  • 1935 – FBI created
  • 1947 – Central Intelligence Agency created
  • 1972 – ATF created
  • 2001 – The Patriot Act
  • 2002 – The Homeland Security Act
  • 2016 – Banana Republic (FBI)
  • 2017 – Banana Republic (FBI & CIA)
  • 2020 – Banana Republic (FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.)

Militia Style Military (no professional, standing army)

  • 1918 – WWI (established professional, standing army)
  • 1945 – Military-Industrial Complex

Free-Markets (free economy)

  • 1909 – Corporate Income Tax
  • 1913 – The Federal Reserve
  • 1913 – Sixteenth Amendment (Income Tax)
  • 1916 – Estate Tax
  • 1932 – Gift Tax
  • 2007 – The Great Recession

Non-Fiat Currency & Non-Modern Monetary Policy

  • 1971 – Gold standard abandoned
  • 1973 – National Debt
  • 2002 – National Debt
  • 2007 – The Great Recession

Ability to Resist/Defeat Oppression & Tyranny

  • 1913 – Seventeenth Amendment (States’ check & balance)
  • 1934 – The National Firearms Act
  • 1935 – The Federal Bureau of Investigation created
  • 1945 – Military-Industrial Complex
  • 1947 – Central Intelligence Agency created
  • 1972 – ATF created
  • 2001 – The Patriot Act
  • 2002 – The Homeland Security Act
  • 2016 – Banana Republic (FBI)
  • 2017 – Banana Republic (FBI & CIA)
  • 2020 – Banana Republic (FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.)

It was not my intention to include every single historic event that has led to a failed and destroyed US Constitutional Republic. Rather, I have listed what I believe to be the most significant primary events that have directly destroyed the very foundation of our country that our Founding Fathers believed in, fought for, died for, and eventually established via our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

Anything other than a restoration of the principles, ideals, and values contained in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights will simply perpetuate the evil gripping the USA. We now suffer under a US Empire system that is no better, actually worse, than the British Empire that our forefathers fought against and died defeating.

Make no mistake, have no doubt, these are intentional and planned events in a grand scheme. A scheme to turn the US into an authoritarian/totalitarian state that benefits only a select few. These events did not occur in a vacuum or randomly by chance. It is all planned…and there is more of their evil to come…but not much more because their plan is almost complete. And that is what you must be aware of…and prepare for…there is nothing that can stop their plan…nothing. Well, other than a restoration or divine intervention. And I don’t see any group of people who are committed enough, brave enough, and knowledgeable enough to restore the Republic. At least not at this point.

And no…there is no Republican or Democrat candidate/politician that is committed enough, brave enough, and knowledgeable enough to lead a restoration. It has been the Republicans and Democrats behind the plan and implementing the plan all along.

Oh, just as George Washington warned us about…and we’ve ignored.

Blithering idiots !

So my wife gets into a minor exchange on Facebook the other day with a person who couldn’t understand how and why people think the economy is doing poorly. My wife tried to explain the price of basic necessities, including gas, etc. The woman wasn’t having it..

The woman wrote back with this completely fabricated (i.e. total lie) chart showing the price of gas this time of year for the previous years. And her chart showed that gas prices now are just about the same as they were under Trump and Obama.

I nearly fell on the floor with disbelief that someone could be that dumb misinformed!

Last night I had a few minutes on my hands so I decided to look up the price of gas since 2016 (Obama’s last year in office). Here is the real gas price chart…

Folks…people are either blithering idiots or have been dramatically drawn into some fantasy world when it comes to the economy. And people are utterly delusional if they think that Biden’s economy is doing well. There is NOTHING about the economy that is doing well…NOTHING!

And worse yet…these folks are willing to outright lie about it.

And then this dingbat misinformed woman tried talking unemployment rate being so much lower under Biden…sheer stupidity!

  • In Feb 2020 (right before COVID hit – to be fair) unemployment, according to BLS, was 3.5%
  • In Apr 2024 unemployment, according to BLS, was 3.9%
  • Unemployment is up 12% under Biden!

Let’s look at people actually working (labor force participation rate):

  • February 2020, the LFP rate was 63.3% (just before COVID hit – again, to be fair)
  • April 2024, the LFP rate was 62.7% (latest figures under Biden)
  • 1% fewer Americans working under Biden…(ah, that’s nearly a million less people working).

According to the US CPI:

  • Overall inflation under Biden 5.7%
  • Overall inflation under Trump 1.9%
  • Inflation is 200% worse under Biden

For housing market…here are the objective and results between 2019 & 2024…Bidenomics:

  • The average home price increased by 44.6%.
  • The down payment required increased by 46%
  • The 30-year mortgage rate increased by 87%
  • The amount required to be financed increased by 44%
  • The monthly payment increased by 88%
  • The total amount repaid over the life of the mortgage increased by 88%
  • The income required (industry standard calculation) increased by 44%
  • Income increase lags behind the increase in home prices by 80%
  • In 2019 your house payment was 20% of your monthly income. In 2024 your house payment is now 36% of your monthly income.
  • Buying a house in 2024 means you are paying back over $380,000 more dollars than the same average American house in 2019.

Yes! You read that right…the average mortgage payment for the average home in the US under Biden is more than a $1,000 per month greater than when Trump left office!!!!!

Under Biden:

  • US government debt at historic high.
  • US corporate debt at historic high.
  • US credit card debt at historic high.
  • US personal debt at historic high.

And it just goes on and on and on and on…

Don’t get suckered into these idiot’s, criminal’s, thieves’, liar’s, manipulator’s weird delusional fantasy world. Know the facts and prepare to deal with them.

Is RFK jr a viable candidate?

  • From: Lona

RE: I’d be interested in your opinion on RFK jr being a viable candidate (both electable and useful).

Well, first off I am super glad to hear you are thinking outside the box and not stuck in traditional thinking…traditional thinking is to blame for our country’s condition. Just asking that question about RFK shows intelligence, initiative, and a sincere desire to see America back on the right path.

I could give you the short answer…ok, I will…kinda. First off let’s make sure we agree on ‘viable’ meaning ‘capable of success’ (i.e. possible). Now let’s answer the ‘electable’ first. The answer is yes if voters went strictly by issue positions…especially so if in terms of an out-of-control tyrannical federal government. If only considering strictly anti-American philosophy (i.e. traditional thinking)…no, he is not a viable candidate. More on that later.

Now, ‘useful’…yes, in terms of showing TPTB that we the people will not tolerate the current, or any, anti-American two-party political system. RFK would have both parties working against him regardless of what would be good for America. Hence, RFK would fail at nearly everything as President…unless the citizenry stood up and took down the anti-American two-party political system.

Now, realistically speaking is there any chance RFK would/could be elected? No. Plain and simple…no. Why? Because virtually all Americans have been led astray into a two-party political system. Both parties are only concerned about power…getting it, retaining it, and wielding it. Wielding it about 99.9% of the time against what is best for America…yes, both political parties.

George Washington warned us against a two-party system…he said it would destroy America. And it has. A two-party political system is a virtual mirror image of the empire our Founders detested and fought against. So the Republican and Democrat parties are not pro-America…they are both anti-American and against the intent of the Founders. And that my friend is why America has failed and fallen.

FWIW…Remember who killed RFK’s father and uncle.

Trump = Guilty!!

I needed some time to really think this trough and get it clear in my head what I think is really going on here. And some of it may sound familiar…some it may surprise you. I am going to use basic logic, facts, and my view of this mess.

So Trump either committed the crimes he was found guilty of or not. If he did commit those crimes he is in-fact guilty and was rightfully found such…or so it seems. And if that is true then the American judicial/legal system worked perfectly and is serving the American people well. And he should now be sentenced according to that same system…and that may include prison time…rightfully so.

Here is my take on the larger picture. No, it is not about the election, prosecution, or persecution of Trump per se. In my view it is about the American judicial/legal system itself. For decades this system has proven time and time again that; 1) it is two-tier, 2) it has become weaponized. Weaponized in terms of political purposes, cultural purposes, or based on specific issues themselves. Of this, in my opinion, there is no doubt…facts and overwhelming evidence prove this true beyond any reasonable doubt of any reasonable non-biased person.

By weaponized I also mean corrupted, completely and totally corrupted, beyond any resemblance of its original Founding Fathers’ intent and design. And before anyone has a stroke…I don’t mean every single person in the entire system. I mean the system itself from top to bottom, starting with the political hack AG Garland to the beat cop…and everything in between. And actually, I believe almost everyone in the system is corrupt (in one fashion or another) as well…the operative word being “almost”.

Then if I am right about the system, then Trump was convicted by a corrupt system and therefore his conviction is not valid regardless of his actual guilt or innocence. However, it is still not about Trump…it is about the system itself being corrupt. And the system being corrupt is far more dangerous than any one person it affects. Why? Because it affects all of us everyday.

Why all of us? Polls show that 49% believe Trump was rightfully convicted, 49% show he was wrongfully convicted. And therein lies the problem…the country is once more divided against itself. We are yet again polarized against each other. We are all affected.

The Democrats got what they wanted…the ability to claim Trump is a convicted felon…34 felonies to be exact. But it could be worse…Trump, as a convicted felon, would be bared from voting in his state of Florida unless DeSantis restores his right to vote. Pretty much a huge win for Democrats (i.e. bragging rights and campaign commercials) and yet another challenge to over come with “independent” voters for Republicans and the Trump campaign.

Of course Trump will appeal…all the way to the Supreme Court if needed. But the damage is already done where it counts. And you Trumpeteers may not like to hear that but it is true. And it could get worse.

If Trump loses his appeal before the election it is game over for him. If he can’t get the Supreme Court to rule then he has virtually zero chance of getting elected. If Trump gets it to the Supreme Court and loses, then he goes down in history in a very bad light and no election for him. If he gets the Supreme Court to overturn an appeal’s court loss then the Democrats will claim election interference and Trump will most likely lose or the election itself will be in jeopardy.

Yes, I know this is all a huge issue for diehard Trump supporters…and that is yet another problem. If all this goes against Trump I can’t imagine there isn’t a handful, or hundreds, of actual mental case Trump supporters that will feel it their duty to…well, let’s just say “right the ship”. Not only would the Dems love that…so would TPTB more than anyone.

And that brings me back full-circle to my point…this is all a predetermined and preplanned event. TPTB love this drama, tension, chaos, stress, anger, etc. It does exactly what they want…pits American citizens against each other…very possibly to the point of extreme violence.

When I sat down in church Sunday a good friend of mine was visibly upset. By the end of our 15 minute conversation it all boiled down to his sister and her posts on Facebook. She was thrilled about Trump’s conviction and was quoting scripture to prove it was God’s will. My friend Gary and her exchanged heated posts and were at flaming odds at the end…hateful kind of odds.

So, TPTB have won cleanly and clearly…to America’s demise. They have once again split America and Americans apart, even families. There is no good outcome to this…NONE!

If somehow Trump beats all the judicial/legal odds and wins in the courts…Dems will be horrified, angered, and motivated. Then if somehow Trump would win the 2024 election/selection…Dems will revolt. If you remember last time; 1) the FBI embedded their spies in Trumps campaign, 2) once Trump was elected the FBI and CIA began their coup against him, 3) and don’t forget the AntiFa and BLM riots where cities burned.

But honestly…I don’t see Trump coming out of this with a legal win and an election win. If he does, then it was by design to further split the country and spark violence. If Trump loses the legal aspect and goes to jail, then it was by design to further split the country and spark violence. Whatever the outcome…there simply is NO positive, NO good, NO right outcome to this…NONE!

And that my friends is what you need to prepare for.

SitRep – 5/31/2024 (Economy)

Yeah, everyone is talking about Trump being found guilty by the New York kangaroo court…not me, not yet. What is far more important is the crumbling economy and its potential impact on you and your family.

We all heard about Red Lobster last month…first, closing nearly 100 locations, then filing for bankruptcy. Then comes the news that Family Tree and Family Dollar are closing 1,000 locations. In my last SitRep I relayed that “Commercial Chapter 11 business reorganization filings shot up by 72% in 2023.”


Well, try this on for size…

  • Commercial bankruptcies are up 24% in 2024.
  • Corporate bankruptcies are up 43% in 2024.
  • In 2023 more than 260,000 tech jobs alone were lost.
  • In the first 2 weeks of 2024 25,000 tech jobs alone were lost.
  • 40% of all companies are expected to lay off employees.
  • Google alone has plans to lay off 30,000 people this year.

Back to Red Lobster and Family Dollar/Tree…that is 20,000 – 25,000 employees losing their job right there. But it also means lower income folks losing a major source of lower cost essential items available to purchase. And, more than 1,100 vacant store fronts no longer producing commercial incomes for their owners. Yeah that adds up to about $2million a month of lost rental income hitting the economy. Think of the combined ripple effect on the US economy. The numbers start looking like this…1) over $50million in direct lost $’s, 2) about $200million in indirect $’s lost. And that is just from Those two corporations having financial problems. AND…that is per month!

We already know all forms of debt (government, commercial, credit card, auto, mortgages) are at an all time historic high. We also already know that debt payment delinquencies are at similar historic highs. As far as US government debt…it is entirely unsustainable and in no realist terms can it be paid off. And think about this one…more Americans that ever before are using credit cards to pay basic living expenses.

Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase CEO) recently talked about the debt market. In that statement he said in reference to any wobble at all, “There could be hell to pay!” Well, think about these issues on top of everything else:

  • Mortgage rates are still climbing.
  • Rent is still climbing.
  • Just yesterday it was announced that US growth rate is steeply slowing.
  • Government is reporting inflation is slowing…at the same time they announced that all essentials for the average family continue to rise significantly.
  • Consumer spending is slowing at an alarming rate.

It goes on and on and on! So what does it all mean?

I have been relating to readers for years how step-by-step the US economy is crumbling, falling, crashing…being destroyed. These things should come as no surprise to anyone here.

I can’t tell you what to do…I am no expert. But I can warn you again what we are doing…we are preparing for the “crash”, the “collapse”, the whatever you want to call it. For us the writing is on the wall…it is just a matter of when. And we think the “when” is soon.

As I have written about before:

  • The US is an empire and all empires collapse…ALL!
  • The US has embraced Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and all countries that have adopted MMT have had their economies collapse…ALL!

Prepare accordingly. Prepare quickly.
