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.

SitRep – 5/23/2024: What do you think China will do?

RE: SitRep – 5/23/2024

  • What do you think China will do?

Well, the answer came quickly, very quickly. Yesterday China started 2 days of “training”. According to Beijing the training exercise was meant to “punish” the island simulating a full-scale attack. During the “training” Chinese air resources entered Taiwan’s air space nearly 100 times and Chinese warships entered Taiwan’s territorial waters almost 50 times. Chinese military forces completely surrounded the island as part of the simulated full-scale invasion.

Taiwan scrambled jets and put missile, naval and land units on alert during China’s training. Taiwan’s President William Lai, has been called a ‘ dangerous troublemaker’ by Beijing. China also stressed in a statement that Taiwan is an “inalienable” part of China’s territory.

And for the record…this was China’s largest ever exercise of this type.

So now you know…it is only a matter of time until China makes its real move against Taiwan. And if we make a military move to defend Taiwan…all hell will break loose. Not only would we lose another war…the world might turn to ash.

Pray…

SitRep – 5/23/2024

It has been awhile since I have written a SitRep, about 3 months actually. Since then a lot has happened, most of which you already knew was coming…no surprises…almost. However, I was blindsided with one particular data point. But more on that later, including how that impacts the current state of affairs. Yeah, I have saved it for the very end…seems appropriate.

I haven’t been writing much regarding current events for a number of reasons. One of which it has become boring, not writing about it, but the current events themselves. How bad is that when all the crap occurring becomes boring!? Maybe I should say mundane or expected, not sure.


On with the topics…

President (so-called) Biden –

Mark Levin used an expert and the international standard for assessing dementia in people. I will make this short…Biden is for sure in Stage 5 of dementia, possibly Stage 6. And that is according to the actual/factual symptom chart and objective observation. So why is that important? There are only 7 Stages of dementia.

  1. We know that Biden is not running the federal government, someone else is calling the shots but we don’t know who for sure.
  2. Biden holds the trigger for how America responds to international incidents.
  3. Biden makes the call on how to deal with internal US events and incidents. Yes, he can declare martial law.

Right now the world and the US are incredibly unstable with a man who is not rational or mentally fit holding so much, too much, power that could burn down either the rest of the world, the US…or maybe both.

Economy –

Every single month the US is setting new debt records, setting new debt default records, and we are seeing inflation that is crippling most American families. We are seeing massive employment issues including layoffs, along with real income trailing far behind inflation. We are seeing continually increasing corporate bankruptcies. Personal and business bankruptcy filings rose 18 percent in 2023 and setting record highs so far in 2024. Commercial Chapter 11 business reorganization filings shot up by 72% in 2023.

Home sales are slipping…badly. But for home prices…from 2019 – 2024 it costs over $1,000 per month more for the average America home. Tons of experts are now talking about how America is becoming a nation of renters…with no end in sight of that trend. Problem…rent increases are averaging 10% per year since Biden took office. The average overall rental in the US is now $1,400 per month…for a home it is now over $2,100 per month. Let that sink in for a minute.

Inflation…no, I am not going to talk about it…I won’t! Okay, maybe just a little. You already know what is happening with inflation. ALL studies show that inflation significantly disproportionately affects low and middle income Americans far, far more than high income and rich Americans. Think about this…since Biden took office the price of gasoline is far more than double what it was before his taking the reigns.

Income increases are lagging 80% behind inflation. Think about that one…let that set in on you as well for a few minutes.

Wars –

On top of the existing wars we are now looking at more major disruptions worldwide. There are some serious disturbances occurring in Africa. Iran’s President just died, or was assassinated, and that made Iran very unstable for the foreseeable future. Whoever takes the reigns in Iran will have to make a bold statement on who they are and how tough they will be on their eternal enemy Israel. And yes, I think Iran’s humiliating display with attacking Israel and the President’s death are directly related.

Taiwan’s new president Tsai Ing-wen recently warned China to stop its aggression towards Taiwan. How do you think that will impact China and what will their response be?

As we get closer to the election/selection in November, do you think it will embolden our enemies to become more aggressive and/or push the limits?

The EU –

Our US media is not reporting on it in any reasonable or rational way, but are you aware of just how unstable the EU is right now? There are still on-going widespread farmer protests, as well as radical environmentalist protests taking place. There are wide gaps growing between the most socialist of the EU countries and the more conservative countries. Their differences are getting to the point that there is considerable discussion and speculation that the EU is nearing collapse.

One of the most disturbing and potentially end-ensuring current event are the intense anti-Israel protests and associated violence. The rise of antisemitism in Europe is rearing its ugly head, nearing the 1930’s level.

Domestic Instability in the US –

I can’t imagine that you are not seeing the significant increase in criminal activity, especially violent crime. The recent anti-Israel encampments, protests, and violent riots only added to that chaos and anarchy.

One of the most disturbing aspects of this is the lack of judicial pursuit of those liberal violent offenders vs those who simply speak out against the radical trans-community and abortionists. Conservatives who speak out against the lunatic sexual perversion and the abortion clinics are getting arrested by FBI SWAT teams and sentenced to absurdly long prison terms. While those on the left committing actual violence and property destruction are rarely even charged.

Political Warfare –

Considerable additional evidence has surfaced recently that confirms there is, and has been, a coordinated effort by the radical left to keep Trump from running for President or being able to serve if somehow he is elected. At the same time, the DOJ and other judicial entities, are protecting the Biden family from virtually any investigation let alone any charges resulting in court trials.

It is now blatantly obvious that the US DOJ and FBI are protecting the Biden family and anyone else on the left of any significance while pursuing with uncommon vigor anyone on the right. Simply put, the entire US federal government is weaponized in favor of the radical left (i.e. Democrats).

Invasion is Complete –

The Biden administration, via DHS and CBP, have succeeded in allowing the invasion of the United States to be complete. 100’s of thousands of military age men from every possible/potential enemy of the US have entered the US via the southern boarder. And they have been assisted at every step by various federal agencies at the direction of Biden. 10’s of thousands of known criminals…many of which are the worse possible kind…have also invaded the country to create additional chaos and confusion. Then there are the thousands of known terrorists the Biden has brought in via an unsecured border.

The invasion is complete…but still is on-going to bring additional soldiers and criminals in. It is now only a matter of time.

Summary –

All of the above I am sure you are already aware of…and more. Let’s face it, I could write for hours, endless pages, of current event information. But here is the bottom line…

There are “Red Flags” everywhere!

No, much worse than that…ALL flags of any kind, every one of them, are Red Flags. The danger signs are everywhere, in every possible direction you can look.

And by that I mean this…

At this point the ‘crash’ could come at any time, any day, at any moment.

Yes, the crash of which I speak could be economic, but not limited to that. There could be any kind of Black Swan event, an assassination, a violent riot/protest that sweeps the country, a terrorist attack (or coordinated multiple attacks), bank holiday, or any other imaginable (or unimaginable) event that brings it all down.

The timeline, in my opinion, begins now, today. If it appears the left will lose the election/selection then I think it would happen before voting starts on November 5th. If the Republican candidate (especially if it is Trump) somehow pulls off a win on November 5th, then the most dangerous time would be November 5th, 2024– January 20th, 2025.

Now, if Biden really loses it mentally and the press can no longer hide it, then the most dangerous time would be from then until election/selection day. Especially dangerous would be the first week immediately after Biden would step down.

Regardless, from now until January 20th, 2025 the US is treading on thin ice…very, very thin ice. Meaning, you better be prepared for virtually any eventuality that might occur, especially large-scale violence that could/would result in martial law.

I can’t tell you what to do, but I can tell you some of the things that we’ve done (in no particular order):

1) paid off the little debt we had and expanding our cash reserve, 2) reviewing our personal defensive capabilities, 3) having a reserve of fuel on hand for our vehicles and tractor, 4) gearing up our food producing capability, 5) having a solid plan in-place for actions to take for certain events, 6) avoiding cities, 7) avoiding large gatherings, especially political events, 8) seriously upping our situational awareness, 8) acquiring supplies for next year’s garden, 9) reviewing our glamstead security, 10) and this is a very important one…we won’t confide in or trust any new ‘prepper’ who comes to us and sounds too good to be true.

Please take this very seriously…the next 8 months are CRITICALLY DANGEROUS…more so than any other time in recent US history. I mean that sincerely and emphatically!

I pray I am wrong, I hope I am wrong…I do pray for divine intervention so I am wrong. I will ask you to do the same thing…pray…pray that none of this comes to pass.

Here is where I got blindsided…”food insecurity”. Interpreted that means people going hungry. What exactly and officially is food insecurity? “The condition of not having access to sufficient food, or food of an adequate quality, to meet one’s basic needs.” In the US we just hit an historic record of food insecurity. When people get hungry they get desperate…especially when they see their children are hungry. Desperation brings unpredictability in people…and a far more likelihood of violence.

Remember, their plan is to create enough chaos, turmoil, crime, anarchy, violence, desperation, and hopelessness that the United States citizenry cries out for, demands, a solution…to make it stop…whatever the cost or measures. Therein lies the danger…they have a plan to do just that.

The next 8 months is critical…critical that you prepare…do not take this warning lightly!

Garden: Q & A – Why in the he$$ are you preparing a 6k square foot garden?

  • Why in the he$$ are you preparing a 6k square foot garden?

First off…the total area I worked on was 10,000sq’, only about 6,000sq’ is going to be usable for a potential garden area. I hauled in about 15 or so yards of dirt. Then I put on about 8 yards of really good compost. Then added a good application of an organic soil conditioner. Once that was all done I put down 40lbs of grass seed, then ¼ (or so) of peat moss.

Why the dirt? To level off the area that I wanted for a potential garden area.

Why the compost? The dirt here is mostly a fine sand kinda soil that is lacking when it comes to nutrients. And the soil just doesn’t hold water worth a dang. The compost will help with both of those issues.

Why the soil conditioner? It adds in a bunch of micro nutrients and other good stuff in addition to a good application of balanced organic fertilizer.

Why peat moss? To sit on top of the grass seed and aid in germination by retaining moisture for the seed to use.

So why 6,000sq’ of potential garden? Well, if it hits the fan in any way that disrupts the food supply chain I have some extra garden space that can be put into production for crops like; potatoes, corn, wheat, lentils, and other crops that take lots of space beyond what “square-foot” gardening can do in my current raised bed garden boxes totaling 350sq’.

Preparing now will give this area a chance to get healthy and productive. My plan is to aerate and add additional compost plus soil conditioner 3 – 4 times a year to keep improving the soil’s nutrient capability plus water retention ability. Then should I need the garden space it will be ready to be worked into a healthy and productive garden.

Does that work for you? Your thoughts, opinions, suggestions???

Garden: Losses and Lessons Learned

OK, so here is the after action report on the big freeze-out that occurred on May 8th that I wrote about on May 9th (Garden: Big Mistake).

Here is the first thing that I found interesting…nothing I had in the ground received any freeze damage at all. All of the freeze damage was in the green house.

 

 


PLANTS                           # BEFORE THE FREEZE             # LOST or QUESTIONABLE

  • Tomatoes                                     35                                                     7
  • Cantaloupe                                    6                                                     3
  • Watermelon                                   2                                                     0
  • Cucumbers                                  10                                                     7
  • Peppers                                       38                                                     8
  • Squash, Butternut                          1                                                     1
  • Squash, Zucchini                           2                                                      2
  • Flowers                                        14                                                      1

Vegetables lost – 23%

Flowers Lost – 6%

Bottom line…it could have been way worse!

Here are the lessons learned from this event:

  • Have routines for all important chores…and be faithful to that routine. Write it down if needed.
  • Pay close attention to weather reports and don’t trust them 100%. Error on the side of caution.
  • Just because the plants are in a green house doesn’t mean they are protected from cold weather.

Now here is something to think about…If we were dependent on the garden for survival we would now be short of food by ¼. That could be really devastating in a survival situation. Therefore, I learned that I should overestimate plants needs by 1/3rd at the least. If I have too many when it comes time to plant…then give the extras to those in need.
