Just bought…what do I do? (Part #2)

Posted on by

Last time (12/26/23) I touched on:

  1. Getting a water supply secured because it is absolutely essential.
  2. Putting together a cache of weapons to protect your family and your ‘retreat’.
  3. Along with the above two items I also outlined what medical preps should be stashed there as well.
  4. And lastly, I provided information that was a little out of the box. I suggested a stash of items that if you got there with nothing, you could have some basics to survive.

Remember, I am talking about; 1) starting from scratch, 2) this is also a ‘bugout’ location not just building a vacation home or homestead. So the things I suggest that are oriented towards the bugout location can be used later as a ‘prep’ even though they aren’t part of the basics of a building a home.

Now it is time to move to the next phase, at least in my opinion 🙂 Well, that assumes that you were/are able to handle all of the above.

Here is where I deviate just a bit from the 7 Common, but your situation is a bit different since your starting point is literally at zero. Also, I am going to view this a little different than some preppers would; I am going to look at some of this as if you get there with nothing but you and your family.

Exposure –

As I outlined in the larger ‘layers’ article on this subject, there are two basic forms of exposure; 1) personal, 2) structural.

Personal exposure…a full set of clothes for each person in your family for each season. Yes, that includes shoes. No, it doesn’t have to cost a lot. If it was me, I would buy all of these items at thrift stores. Granted, you might not find all the name brands or current in-style clothes…but, in this situation you will be grateful for comfortable clothes period! To learn more about my suggestions on clothing you can < click here >

Then there is an important, and easily overlooked, point…shelter. Yes, I know you want to build something but how soon is that going to happen? I suggest looking for a decent used family sized tent…times two. Why two? One to live in and one to store stuff in. They don’t have to be fancy, they don’t have to be expensive, they don’t have to be huge, they need to provide shelter and that is about it. If you’re worried about them leaking, make it easy on yourself…by a super large heavy-duty tarp. Then drape that tarp over the tent(s) protecting it from rain and/or snow. Position the tents in an “L” shape with the corner “V” facing the predominant wind direction.

Why super-large? Extend the tarp out from the front of the tent(s) to provide a covered sitting and cooking area.

Don’t forget a water-proof ground cloth for under the tent(s). A used rug or two for inside the tent makes life a lot nicer. A good door mat outside the door of the tent is a valuable tip as well. Yeah, don’t wear shoes/boots inside the tent, keep them outside. Or, directly inside the tent door on a small door mat. A decent pair of slippers to change into and out of for wearing in the tent will be a luxury that you will appreciate.

One aspect of this exposure thing is fire. Have multiple ways to start a fire…in any condition. And yes, have a way, or two or three, to harvest firewood from your property…yup, saws and maybe a hatchet. Think about having a morning where everyone gathers whatever firewood and kindling they can find laying around on the ground. Store it as dryly as possible.

Starvation –

Bottom line…you will need a cache of food. How much? That is entirely up to you at this point.

Obviously once you are settled in with a more permanent situation you could follow my overall ‘layers’ recommendations of food storage < click here >. But, at this point you are starting from ground zero. I would suggest a minimum is 2-weeks worth of MREs for each person. In a really tough situation those same meals could be stretched to 4-weeks.

If you are worried that isn’t enough, then go with more of them. Or, alternatively you could buy cases of MountainHouse freeze-dried prepared meals. This is entirely up to you.

One of the good things about MREs is they come with heaters so you can have warm meals. The MountainHouse stuff is great tasting and you can eat them cold once they are re-hydrated.

Caching –

You may be wondering how to store this stuff at your new property. There are multiple ways to do that. There are the large and expensive options such as a Conex; very secure but easy to see. Then you could go with weather resistant plastic or steel tool boxes. I kinda like 55-gal steel drums with the tops that close with the steel band.

Whatever option works for you is fine. Just remember to make them as unobservable as possible. Camouflage whatever containers you decide to use. Place them in clumps of trees. Breakup their profiles. Don’t put them where they can be seen from a road. And in this day and age, think about your neighbor’s hobby drones poking around.

Housing –

While you are putting all of the above stuff together be thinking about what kind of permanent house you want. Some folks will only want a ‘tiny home’, other will be able to afford a 4,000sq’ luxury log cabin like Yellowstone. I am not sure about your budget, I am going to go with the basic options…you can take it from there.

First thing is a storage building. Yup, a place for all your stuff, a work shop, a temporary sleeping/living structure. You need a place to lay your head and/or to work on things while you are there…before the main/permanent structures are completed. Building one is an option for sure; it will take both time and money.

You can save a lot of time if buy something like a ToughShed. Get a decent one with a covered porch; that outdoor extra space is a mental health vacation. I built my shed and spent a ton of money, wish I hadn’t. A roll-up door on one end of your shed will come in handy.

Whatever you do…1) install a very sturdy and imposing looking mesh security door, 2) install very sturdy and imposing looking mesh security window screens. Will they prevent all break-ins? Of course not, but it will keep the vandals somewhat at bay and dissuade the casual weekend thief.

When it comes to the house you will eventually live in you have to decide one question first…will you build it yourself or have it built?

Building it yourself will will save you a ton of money but will take you a long time. It took me a year, full-time, to build our 900sq’ home and 100sq’ utility room addition by myself. Having it built, either onsite or modular, will be potentially faster but you will be at the mercy of the builder…and potential ‘codes’ department. And a ‘built’ home will cost you more money than building yourself…probably between 2 – 4 times more.

I will leave this entirely up to you…but make the decision and start the process now. Why? It could take you a year or more, maybe 3, to be able to have a finished home on your property.

Don’t overlook the homes location. For us; 1) we didn’t want it seen from the road, 2) we didn’t want it easily seen period, 3) we wanted a flat area for garden and yard surrounding the house, 4) plenty of trees around us for aesthetics. Some neighbors built on the side of a mesa/bluff/hill; they wanted the view. Not us. If they have an expansive view of the surrounding area, then others can just as easily see them.

Just a small tip…a neighbor bought a modular home, got a great deal paying cash upfront, delivery set for 11 months. It got delivered 2-1/2 years later. Lots of excuses by the company. No leverage by the buyer/neighbor…he had already paid for it…they had all of his money. Sure he could have sued, and spent thousands and thousands of dollars doing it, and taking years to do so. To get what? The house they already paid for.

Property Structures & Infrastructure –

Pick the location and orientation of the house for exact and specific reasons. Pick the location of the shed and any other outbuildings in relation to the house…again, for exact and specific reasons. DO NOT just start building or placing structures in various locations! Have a plan that makes sense for what you are doing.

For us…1) as few windows as possible on south and west sides (too hot 6 months of the year), 2) large covered and screened porch on the north side right outside the front door for extra living area, 3) large deck area on the east side for entertaining.

Summary –

I can’t stress enough how important it is…no, how absolutely vital it is…to have a well throughout, reasoned, logical, realistic, and written plan…before you start. Have drawings and maps. List specific reasoning for each structure and  exactly why it is to be placed in a particular location.

Example #1: In our area the summer sun from the south and west can be brutal. We placed as few windows on those sides as possible. Alternatively, you could place a large wrap-around covered deck on those sides of the house to protect it from the sun.

Example #2: Our house is small, 900sq’. But, we have a 375sq’ covered and screened in porch that can be used 7 – 8 months of the year very comfortably. Then there is the additional 450sq’ deck on the east side of the house that can be used after 2pm in the summer months. And then there is the 220sq’ patio area on the east side of the house that can used after noon. So there is lots of living space…some of which is outside…at a much lower building cost.

Example #3: Our yard, garden, and orchard areas are all inside of the chain link fencing…along with the house. And we have two dogs to keep it all secure. Our yard area is pretty flat that could easily be turned into additional garden area. The area inside of the chain link fence is approximately 1 acre.

And now…there will be more, probably next week, but this is enough to keep you busy.

Let’s talk Jeffery Epstein…

Posted on by

This is kind of boring to me by now…we already know what is going on, it’s old news. However, I am going to relate those applicable things that I have researched myself and that I can personally document through various reliable, credible, and redundant sources. I am not going to speculate or get involved with the wide range of conspiracy theories that are circulating right now. I will stick with evidence and facts. Why this now? Because it just hit the headlines again…and we need to know the truth.

So let’s review this situation…the actual facts:

Jeffery Epstein was born to a poor Jewish gardener father and homemaker mother. Epstein started out his working life as a con-man; he got a teaching position at a private college prep school in NYC for the rich and famous…even though he had no teaching experience and no college degree. After being fired from there for being a fraud he went to work for Bear Stearns…although he had no experience in banking or finance. Yes, the same Bear Stearns that went bankrupt and helped take down the US economy in 2008. Then he started his own financial firm.

More than 30+ years ago Epstein hooked up with Ghislaine Maxwell who became his girlfriend. Ghislaine Maxwell was the daughter of a well-documented Jewish media-publication tycoon…who was a known spy for British MI6, Russian KGB, and Israeli Mossad. In 1991 Ghislaine’s father was thrown off his yacht in what was officially declared an ‘accident’. Shortly thereafter it was discovered her father had embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars from his publishing and related businesses. Not long after this time is when Epstein/Maxwell began their sex-trafficking for A-list celebrities and politicians from around the world. The romantic relationship between the two ended about 2002 +/-.

In 2005 the state of Florida, Palm Beach County began to investigate Epstein for various sex-related charges with minor girls and boys…approximately 50 or so victims.

In 2006, allegedly, the FBI began an independent investigation into Epstein. In 2007 Epstein entered into a plea deal with the US Department of Justice that granted “immunity from all federal criminal charges” related to any and all of his crimes. The plea deal, by definition, halted all investigations or any current/potential prosecutions of Epstein. Later Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, made the statement he was told by unnamed US federal government officials that Epstein “belonged to intelligence”, this was all “above his pay grade”, and to “leave it alone”.

In the plea deal signed in 2008, he was found guilty on a state charge, sentenced to 18 months, sent to a cushy county facility, allowed 12-hours a day for ‘work release’, his cell door was to be unlocked, and he was allowed free access to rooms within the facility where he had a private TV. After serving a year he was released to house arrest.

In 2019 Epstein was told by an unnamed person to return to the United States. After arriving in the US he was promptly arrested by the FBI on sex trafficking charges. But remember, his Department of Justice (DOJ) 2007 plea deal included immunity against current and future criminal activity. FWIW…The FBI works for the DOJ. While arresting Epstein a foreign passport was found with Epstein’s picture but a different name…along with $70,000 in cash and nearly 50 high-value diamonds. At his bail hearing Epstein offered $100million cash bail to the judge.

On 7/18 the judge denied the offered $100,000,000 bail and ordered him held in a specific Federal detention facility in Manhattan. Epstein was found dead in his cell in that facility on 8/10.

Now let’s touch on his death…

He was being held in the Manhattan Federal Correctional Facility…one of the most secure prison facilities in the country. No one had ever died in the facility, no one had ever attempted to hang themselves in that facility, the CCTV cameras had never failed in that facility, and there were no reports that guards had never failed to conduct their rounds checking on prisoners in that facility. Epstein was held in a 6-unit cell block with 6 levels of security.

The night Epstein died (allegedly hung himself according to initial reports) all of the cell doors in his cell block had been left unlocked, the CCTV cameras weren’t working, and the guards didn’t conduct their rounds to check on prisoners.

The medical examiner that conducted the autopsy ruled the death was more a homicide than a suicide as had been reported by prison officials…and documented as such. He, and later experts, pointed out that the injuries to Epstein ‘s neck were consistent with a hard blow to his windpipe, and the horizontal strangulation marks on his neck indicated he was strangled to death by a rope from behind. Epstein had no rope in his cell and was not ‘hung’ by any rope found in his cell. About this same time a medical expert in prison hangings reviewed the x-rays and other autopsy records and stated that in over 1000 prison hangings he had researched, not a single one had injuries even remotely similar to Epstein’s.

Weeks after the official autopsy was performed and his death was ruled a homicide, a DOJ medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide and changed the official cause of death from homicide to suicide. Oh, and that DOJ person…never attended the autopsy and there are no official records she even reviewed the actual autopsy file, including x-rays.

The DOJ investigated Epstein’s death…in a DOJ facility and guarded by DOJ guards. The DOJ found no wrong-doing on the part of the DOJ and the DOJ AG Barr made an official public statement to that affect. Later when a whistle blower revealed information regarding Epstein’s death…it became obvious that Barr had blatantly lied.

Remember I mentioned that Alexander Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida going after Epstein, and who made the plea deal with Epstein? Also, do you remember that Acosta made the statement that he was told by unnamed US federal government officials that Epstein “belonged to intelligence”?

Do you also remember that last spring I told you that a Special Forces operative working for the CIA turned whistleblower personally saw the Epstein files and publicly confirmed during an interview that Epstein was running a ‘honey pot’ operation for US intelligence services?

Turns out that Epstein was in-fact running a ‘honey pot’ operation for a joint CIA/FBI task-force. His job was to lure US and global leaders into sexual encounters with women/men and minor children. Then record those encounters on video, then turn all the evidence over to the CIA/FBI task-force.

Now, you might ask what the CIA/FBI task-force was doing with all of that evidence that Epstein had been giving them for decades. Great question…considering that not a single prosecution of any kind was ever brought against anyone targeted in the CIA/FBI operation. So how was all of that evidence used?

Outside of the US the CIA used it to blackmail/extort people into working for the CIA and/or forcing them to funnel money to CIA black accounts.

Inside the US the FBI used it as just another source of information to blackmail/extort celebrities, business people, and politicians at all levels…including the highest levels of the US federal government. How do we know this?

J. Edgar Hoover, first Director of the FBI, began that program when the FBI was founded. There is ample evidence, files, documents, witnesses, testimony, etc. to prove that FBI blackmail/extortion operation to be 100% true. The Epstein ‘honey pot’ operation was just another branch of that on-going agency activity.

Dots –

Probably time to put some dots out there…

  1. Epstein was a nobody con-man, then became a player in a major financial company and becomes reasonably wealthy.
  2. Epstein acquired a girlfriend that was the daughter of a major figure in the global intelligence community.
  3. Epstein starts his own financial firm and becomes extremely wealthy.
  4. Epstein and girlfriend are working for the FBI/CIA.
  5. Epstein and his girlfriend are sex-traffickers for global A-listers.
  6. Epstein’s sex-trafficking is found out by county/state authorities but the DOJ gives him a sweetheart plea deal with immunity.
  7. DOJ official negotiating the plea deal reveals that Epstein was working for US intelligence agencies.
  8. Epstein continues his work for the FBI/CIA.
  9. As Epstein’s operation begins to become more public he is arrested by the FBI/DOJ after being lured back into the US.
  10. Epstein is denied $100MILLION cash bail offer and ordered held in a specific prison facility.
  11. Epstein is found dead in his jail cell in that prison facility less than a month later.
  12. Medical examiner conducts an autopsy and deems Epstein’s death a homicide.
  13. DOJ doctor overrides original medical examiner deeming Epstein’s death a suicide.
  14. After reviewing all the autopsy files, including x-rays, a well-known, high-profile medical expert declares Epstein died due to strangulation consistent with assassinations carried out by special operations personnel.
  15. After reviewing all the autopsy files, including x-rays, a well-known, a high-profile medical expert in prison hangings states that in over 1000+ prison hangings he has never seen the injuries in Epstein’s case in any other prison hangings.
  16. Then there is the whole highly suspect string of circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death in the federal facility.
  17. The DOJ will also not release any of the names of the other prisoners that were in Epstein’s cell-block the night he died…when all the cell-block doors were left unlocked.
  18. No one can state accurately where Epstein’s wealth came from or where it went after his death.
  19. Not a single name has been released by the DOJ of anyone who was documented and videoed relating to the sex-trafficking sexual encounters that the Epstein operation arranged.

Man, I have wrapped my head around this so many times that I get headaches. It feels like I am reading the brainstorming session for some really good spy novel or Tom Cruise movie. But unfortunately it is real life. And even worse…it shows the utter evil and despicable activities of the immoral degenerates at the FBI, CIA, and DOJ. It shows with cruel clarity just how much those agencies are in league with the devil himself.

But, I do have a couple of questions that continue to gnaw on me:

  1. Who has the names from his client list and the incriminating videos right now? I suspect the Director of the FBI and the Director of the CIA.
  2. Where did Epstein’s vast wealth go? Estimates put it at about $600million. I suspect it was split between the FBI and CIA to fund other black ops.
  3. Finally, what decisions are being made that affect US citizens as a result of this illegal and heinous FBI/CIA operation?

If you are LDS…does the term Gadianton Robbers ring a bell? I can’t imagine a more perfect example of Gadianton Robbers than these…FBI, CIA, & DOJ agencies and personnel !!!

Then again, the whole US federal government is infected with Gads.

And lastly…what happens next with all of this crap?

Summary –

Yeah, you thought I was done…nope. I took a couple hours long break after finishing the rough draft of this post. I had to think about what I was writing and what the point was. I asked myself the question…What does this have to do with prepping?

I thought that was a great question! Then again…it came from me. Maybe from you as well.

So here is my answer and it serves as the ‘summary’ of this article as well…

It goes directly to Situational Awareness. How can you know the true threats and the real enemies we face, and will face, to the point Situational Awarenesswhere you can properly prepare if you ignore the threats and enemies that are already here? Knowing to what absolutely Satanic depths this federal government will go to is vital to understanding how they could/might/will come after you, your neighbors, your family, your church, etc.

If you think the FBI is some noble Boy Scout organization…well, you are insane. If you think the CIA is only concerned for the well-being and security of our country…well, you are insane. If you think either the FBI or CIA honor and respect the Constitution and Bill of Rights…well, you are absolutely delusional. And that my friend makes you vulnerable.

You have to understand how this monstrous federal government functions and just how despicable and deplorable the leadership of this country actually is. You have to see and understand reality…regardless of how immoral and heinous it may be. To ignore any of this is destruction…destruction of your life, your family…and more.

To be properly, or even reasonably, prepared you have to have quality Situational Awareness and realistic expectations…or you are lost.

 

Prepping is prudent.

The Economy is booming…REALLY?????

Posted on by

Did you read the idiotic headline and the lead-in line? Are they stupid or just pushing the Biden Administration / Globalist agenda!?! Seriously, where in the hell do they get the concept of writing a more incorrect (i.e. lie) than that?!?

In 2023 there were 2.7million new jobs created…and that sounds about right to me.

But what they aren’t telling you is the 31million jobs lost in 2023…that is the official number from the US government. And that number doesn’t include those folks laid off during 2023…which was DOUBLE what 2022 was!!!

People who lost their job in 2023 was nearly 20% of the total US workforce!! And the weekly first time unemployment claims were historically high…hundreds of thousands per week!

So the US economy is in a free fall and media dishes out this pile of stinking male bovine feces!

Can you believe the media or the federal government…whatever they say????? HELL NO YOU CAN’T !!!

And this is yet another example why there will be NO free and fair presidential election in 2024. The media is 100% in the tank for Pervert Biden…or whomever else the globalists put into the running for president.

Public Schools – Options

Posted on by

Great question came in…

  • I don’t agree with you on all of the public school view but some of it sounds right. What is the answer when it comes to local public schools? Join the PTA, run for the school board, what options are there?

Now there is a question I was hoping to get! But you might not appreciate my answer…you might even hate it and me by the time you are done reading.

The answer comes after some additional needed insight into your life. Here are two questions that I need to hear the answer to first:

  1. What priority are your children?
  2. Are you in economic chains?
What priority are your children? –

This isn’t a trick question but it can be a painful one. I want to know if you children are your #1 priority…or, where exactly do they rate in your list of priorities? And that has to be answered by both spouses to get an accurate answer.

And don’t give me a pat, rote memory, answer like “My children are everything?” or “I would give my life for them?”

Would you take a lower paying job to spend more time with your children? Would you sell your 2,700sq’ home for a 20 year old mobile home…with ½ the payment so your wife could stay home with your children? Would you give up your two-week hunting trip with your friends to take your sons camping for a week…then your daughters the next week?

If your children are your #1 priority then this gets easier for me to answer.

Are you in economic chains? –

Have you made financial decisions in your life that force both parents to work? Do you have two car payments? Is your house payment more than 20% of your take-home pay? Do you have student debt? Do you pay off your credit cards each month? Can you live on one income?

Do your finances, or personal desires, dictate your choice of jobs and/or income?

My Answer –

If your children are the highest, priority then the answer gets pretty dang easy…homeschool. No one is more interested or more committed to your children than you…or at least you should be. So you are the logical ones to teach your children.

I am a traditional kind of guy and believe that the man/husband/father is better at providing and protecting…so do that job. A woman/wife/mother is better at nurturing…by far. So then logically I believe that the man/husband/father earns the household income…or at least the majority of it. The woman/wife/mother is the natural choice to take the lead on homeschooling.

Are there clear lines on that? Of course not. The man/husband/father can help with homeschooling when they are home. And the woman/wife/mother can help earn money for the household. Actually, the children can help with that as well. A well thought out, home-based business can be use the help of the children where/when appropriate.

Now, if you want to say, “But our lifestyle requires two incomes.” Then you are already lost. You have made some very bad financial choices in your life with your family, and your children are far down your priority list. But there is still hope…and this could potentially apply to single-parent families as well…private school.

Find a private school that has curriculum that you approve of that will benefit your children in their life. You will still need to monitor every aspect of what is being taught to your children…because their education is YOUR responsibility.

Will homeschooling be easy? Maybe…maybe not. It depends solely on you. If your children are your #1 priority and you take responsibility for raising the best children possible…then just do it!

Let me share this…let’s say the woman/wife/mother will take the lead in homeschooling your children. But, she works, or has worked, full-time. Think of all the effort she puts into that job. All the work, decisions, conflicts, complications, issues, resolutions, etc. that go into that job. Put that same effort into raising and teaching your children how to be the best people they can be.

Let me ask this…

  • Who loves your children more?
  • Does anyone want what is best for your children more than you?
  • Who is more committed to your children?
  • Do you want your children to grow to be the best adults and parents possible?
  • Who do you think would, or should, work the hardest to make that happen?
  • Do you think government schools are better at preparing your children for life than you?
  • Do you trust the government with your children for 13 years of their lives?
  • Are your children your responsibility…or will they be products of the government?

Life isn’t meant to be easy…it is meant to be rewarding…and worth it…choose wisely.

Biggest Threat in 2024

Posted on by

Here is the kind of question I love!! Thank you to ‘anonymous’ for sending it in.

  • What is the biggest threat in 2024?

Here we go…read on…if you dare…

Well, well…great question…no easy, simple, or single answer in my opinion. I had already been thinking about this a bunch last month, as well as each and every day for the last year. ‘What is the biggest threat we face here in America?’ This posed question from ‘anonymous’ made me narrow my focus.

I see two main stages for the answer…national/USA and international/global. For a number of reasons I also view it as “3’s” as it applies to each of those two stages.

Top 2024 threat(s) for the USA –

1 – The economy: The US economy is so fragile at this point in time it is hard to even imagine. In 2023 there were 31million jobs lost, 305thousand layoffs, 162 major corporate bankruptcies, 600 corporate bankruptcies total (2nd highest in history), corporate debt hit a new high in 2023, over $2trillion in corporate debt is due for refinancing in 2024 -2025 at substantially higher interest rates (2x – 5x), all forms of consumer debt are at historic highs, and government debt is at the highest point ever and growing at an historic rate. One minor, even relatively minor hiccup, and the economy tanks…and takes the entire country with it almost overnight.

2 – The US federal government: The US federal government is virtually the only driving force destroying the economy, the Federal Reserve (federal government authorized entity) is the only other entity destroying the economy; both are doing so intentionally. The federal government has been involved in a major war via the Ukraine that potentially threatens to escalate into a world war. The US federal government continues illegal spying programs against US citizens, and is attempting to once again restrict the 1st and 2nd Amendments, among others. The FBI, NSA, and DHS are actively working against pro-life groups, conservative groups, religious groups, and MAGA Republicans. The ATF has never been more active against FFL dealers or American gun owners. The ATF is an entire federal law enforcement agency dedicated and committed to destroying the 2nd Amendment. The CIA and FBI, along with the Department of Justice is preventing a free and fair presidential election in 2024. At no time in history has the US federal government been more outside the bounds and legal restrictions of the Constitution than it is now.

3 – Illegal immigrants: This singular activity is enough to utterly destroy the United States as a free country. We’ve already seen a huge negative impact on our economic and political systems for two decades. As this current phase of illegal immigration matures we see millions upon millions more illegals coming into this country that are crushing our cities’, states’, and national economies. Worse than that…for decades, but especially in the last 5 years, we are seeing an immense surge of military age males entering our country illegally. This illegal immigration is intentional, planed, and executed by both the behind-the-curtain leadership of our country and the larger global stage leadership. Tragically there are nearly 100,000 unaccompanied minor children that have deliberately been brought into the US that the Biden Administration has intentionally lost track of. A large percentage of those children have been sold into the sex trade as well as working illegally in jobs under extremely adverse and illegal working conditions.

Top 2024 threat(s) for the world –

1 – The economy (globalists/WEF): As goes the US economy so goes the world economic system. The world economy is on the brink of disaster. Green initiatives, which are economic based plans by the IMF/WEF, are destroying farms, the ability to produce energy, and ability to feed people.

2 – The Unites States federal government: The US government prevented a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. The US government has started more wars, started more ‘police actions’, invaded more countries, assassinated more foreign government leaders, and overthrown more sovereign governments in the world over the last 130 years than any other country in the world. The term ‘nation building’ was popularized in the early 2000’s after the US invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan attempting to force them into a form of democracy. Both attempts failed after 100’s of thousands of deaths of their citizens…and thousands of deaths of US military personnel. However, nation building (in its modern form) was actually begun by the US in Japan and Germany after the end of WWII. Nation building is fundamentally forcing a form of government upon a sovereign country who didn’t ask for it and doesn’t want it. The US is the only country in the world that embarks on this practice at this level or in this form.

3 – War: There is a ‘hot’ war between Russia and Ukraine, it is a proxy war between Russia and the US (as well as NATO). There is a cold war between China and the US. There is a hot war between Islam (primarily Iran and its proxies) and Israel (backed by the US). There is a tense cold war between China and Taiwan. There is a very tense cold war between North and South Korea. Any, or all, of these military interactions (i.e. wars) could go nuclear…or expand onto American soil via the vast number of illegal immigrant military aged males that have entered into the US in the last 5 – 10 years.

Summary –

The economy, US or world, is unfathomably fragile. The global economy is primarily controlled by the US economy, both are controlled by globalists (i.e. IMF, WEF, etc.). The US Treasury Department has no Constitutional right to ‘control’ the domestic economy in any manner whatsoever. The US government empowered the Federal Reserve (Fed) to control both employment and inflation. Again, the federal government has no right or authority to do so…but did. The Fed is made up of private bank leadership that works in secret…even from the US Congress and US President.

Consider this…during the 2007-2008 economic collapse in the US…who got bailed out by whom and who pays the price? All the banks (who control the Fed) got bailed out by the US government via the Fed (private banks)…and the US citizens are on the hook to pay for it. Hummmm…interesting…rather convenient isn’t it?!

The US federal government is out of control. There are about 24million US federal government employees right now…that is 15% of the entire workforce in the United States!!! My god…how is that working out for the average US citizen?!?! Think about it…that is 1/2million federal employees per state!! How is that even possible, let alone legal?!?!

Globally, the US federal government is involved in more war (military actions) and overthrowing foreign governments than anyone else. Domestically, they are driving a policy of destruction…in EVERYTHING!

Do you ever wonder why that the US government is so despised around the world? We economically bribe countries to do what we tell them to do in their own country. If that doesn’t work we overthrow their leaders. If that doesn’t work we invade their country. It’s true! If you don’t believe me read history from the late 1800’s through the 2010’s…it’s all there.

Then look at polls how US voters, and the US population in general, view the dimwits and criminals in Washington DC. People don’t trust em and don’t like em! Why do you think that is? All the dark jokes about federal government employees…where do you think that comes from?

The common thread here is the US federal government! Yes, the US federal government is the #1 threat in the US and in the world today. Period…end of story…I said it…I stand by it…the facts and evidence prove it.

Test it…When was the last time the US federal government restored a lost Constitutional right, freedom, or liberty? When was the last time that the US federal government restored power to the people…taking that power away from a government bureaucrat or politician then giving it back to US citizens? When was the last time the US federal government did the right thing, the decent thing, a moral anything for US families? Yeah, I thought so…looks like Death Valley when trying to answer those questions.

Folks, the US federal government is the single biggest threat to both the world and the United States at this point in time…and it is a significant and serious threat. Remember this…it was Biden…head of the US government and Commander of the US military…that threatened US citizens with F-15’s against AR-15’s…and has done so multiple times. Those were not idle threats…that is the plan of the US government!

A close #2 threat…Illegal immigration is destroying the US. As of the latter part of 2023 there are 5000 illegals aliens coming across our border each day…ILLEGALLY! Those are only the ones being caught! Of those 3million that are caught in 2023…we’ve deport less that 5% of that number. That’s 95% of all illegals are still in the country…whereabouts are unknown by design…designed by the federal government!!! And that just covers 2023!!

And sadly that includes 100,000 minor children that came across unaccompanied that the US federal government has no idea where they are or who they are with!! And the worst part is…it is by design…again, designed by the US federal government to purposely not know what those children are doing, where they are living, who they are with, or anything else that would indicate their safety and well-being.

Coming across the border illegally now in large numbers are military age men, sleeper cells, spies, and terrorists…from all around the world…including China and Islamic countries…who hate us and want the US destroyed. The US is capturing about 10 KNOWN terrorists per month coming across the border illegally!! Yup, people that are actually on terrorist watch lists are being caught…but that isn’t the real problem.

The real problem…how many terrorists are coming across the border and are not being caught!?!?!?!?!?

We can’t, or won’t, stop the majority of drugs coming into this country…how in the hell can we catch all the terrorists coming into our country!?!? Or does the government leadership in Washington DC even want to stop them?

These illegals are directly costing our economy 100’s of billions of dollars a year, a trillion or more in indirect costs…that is bad enough. But, the real danger are those illegals that are criminals…and worst yet…the terrorists. When the time comes and the terrorist element strikes…what do you think the criminal element is willing to do for the arm loads of money from terrorist organizations? Do you think that these brutal, military trained cartel criminals won’t see opportunities to prey on US citizens even more than they already do?

All of it is tied together. Everything is happening for a reason…there are no coincidences in this. All you have to do is look at what is happening outside of the propaganda coming from schools, social media, mainstream media, and the US government itself. You are smart enough to connect the dots in all of these things…if you honestly and objectively look at the facts.

Is it easy and comfortable to do? Of course not…frankly, it can scare the hell out of a person. Maybe it does that to you. I know at times I have to step away from the computer, from research, from the news, and just take a walk or go work in the garden or visit a friend…just to clear my head.

I watched a video multiple times last year, you probably saw it too. In the video a large squad of militarized FBI agents raided a pastor’s house with the precision and weaponry of a military special forces operation. These FBI personnel raided his house with full military gear and weapons. They did so early in the morning, in front of his children who were held at the end of M4’s pointed at them…and their mother. The oldest of 5 children was 9, the youngest, an infant, was crying in the arms of its mother. The FBI wouldn’t let the man leave the house dressed appropriately for the weather…even when the wife was begging them with tears streaming down her cheeks to give him a jacket…they laughed at her and mocked her.

Then the tell-all occurred. The wife asked the FBI agents if they had an arrest warrant…oh man. Then the utter arrogance of the FBI showed up. The bad-ass macho FBI agent, fully dressed in tacti-cool, turned to her and menacingly said…we don’t need one.

The pastor’s crime crime? He had been praying outside of an abortion clinic…actually, across the street from the abortion factory.

For the last couple of months I have been watching WWII movies cover the heroics of specific individuals, mostly documentaries. I get chills even writing this…the FBI in the video arresting this father, husband, pastor, Christian acted exactly like the Gestapo arresting Jews during the early days of WWII. It was an exact parallel…it was a modern day version. There was no difference in tactics, attitude, arrogance, etc.

The threats in the world and in our United States are real…they are there in the open for you to see. The world and the USA are being destroyed even as you read this. The threats to you and your family, to all of us, are real…and getting worse by the day. 2024 is a pivotal point in the entire world, in our country, in our communities, and could change the course of everything we know…could change the course of history.

Do not let these threats paralyze you! Let them be motivation to prepare. Prepare yourself and your family for what could come. Then prepare, or at least warn, your congregations and your communities the best you can. If you want to know what to prepare for or how to do it…read about the 7 Common Threats/Risks…or anywhere else you can find quality, qualified, information from those who know what they are talking about. But prepare!!!

But, most of all…pray. Pray for divine intervention that hearts are touched, softened, changed. Pray that the plans andBundy ranch defenders and patriots pray for a peaceful outcome while government SWAT teams prepare to open fire on them influence of evil are diminished or eliminated. Pray that leaders with malicious and malevolent intentions are thwarted. Pray that the Constitution is restored and respected…and that God-given rights…unalienable rights…are once more the law of the land…and pray that tyranny is vanquished.

Pray that right prevails, that Christ touches and changes people.

Pray…please pray.

Public Schools – Ann’s Comments

Posted on by

I had to post these excellent comments and insight from Ann…

From Ann (Public Schools)

Part #1 –

Back in the 80s, I did homeschool my children for a time in California. I thought things would be better when we moved to Idaho. But back in the early 90s, I saw things I didn’t like in public schools there so started studying the education system hard. When I called the Federal Department of Public Education, I pretended I was a teacher and asked for the new Outcome Based Education project so I could understand it better. They sent a huge packet with everything I needed to know. The thing is…it was not from the Department of Education. It was from the Federal Department of Labor!

Also, as far as the “Critical Thinking” tag goes it is still around just not called “Critical Thinking.” You see, whenever some of the public gets wise to one of deep-states programs and speaks negatively about it, they change the name so we think they got rid of it.

“Critical thinking” is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and make a judgment about what you read, hear, say, or write. It should be a very good thing but back when it was the buzzword and used with the deep-state’s intentions in the education programs, it was used to critically think about everything students learned from their parents at home. It certainly wasn’t used to think for yourself and analyze what you were being taught at school.

When those of us who were wise to this started speaking out against it [questioning what students learned from parents], then it kind of disappeared, in name anyway. If you are wise to their use of language it is easy to pick up on their double-speak. If not, you think you are getting something good when it’s really not good.

My friend, Julie, and I studied that pamphlet [from the Department of Labor] and read other books on our Education System. We called our Idaho Department of Education to ask about this new thing. They told us that there were community planning meetings all around the state so they could get parent’s input. We asked when the meetings were and they had already happened!

Turns out they were secret! No one ever heard of them! It was Bulldozed! To make a long story short I did what every good person who wants to be informed and have a good impact on education does. I started asking questions. The next thing I knew, I was INVITED, by letter, to join the 5-year planning commission to implement this new program into our district. I knew I was invited because I was a parent, an elementary home-schooler with teens at the high school, and a Christian. I thought it was wonderful! I could do my duty and check and make sure that none of the crud made its way into the schools.

At my first meeting, there were 25 to 30 people. Maybe only 5 of us were parents. There were teachers, administrators, and people at the district level. Very interesting. I knew enough to figure out pretty quickly that there was one certain person (a stranger) who seemed to bring up ideas and do it in such a way that other people around the table would take it and run with it. No one seemed to notice that ‘they’, meaning the community, didn’t actually have the idea themselves. They felt they did! I call this person the ‘gatekeeper.’ He was planted. It was his job to bring the idea and to implement this new program in such a way that the community thought the whole thing was theirs. I also learned pretty quickly that if you objected to something, all discussions stopped, and all effort was placed on you to whittle you down until you did agree. Very demeaning and ugly. They did not proceed until you agreed. It made a person scared to comment at all!

And here’s the rub I discovered; if you said nothing to object, it meant you agreed! It’s called CONSENSUS. I hate that word! The object was to have a final product in which all tenants of local society had a say and they created a plan for the school district. My name would have been listed on the Education Plan for the district even if I did not agree with the plan!

Luckily hubs lost his job and we moved. I was never so glad to get out of that evil situation. It was evil to me because I knew enough to recognize the evil. Very important in these latter days! When all was said and done, all school districts in the USA had the same plan. All school districts also thought their plan was unique and their own!

Satan has an overall plan. The plan is to take away our free agency. It always has been. The best way for him to do this, and it’s worked all through the Earth’s history, is through government. How can he do this through the government? He starts in school. Actually, he starts in colleges to raise progressive teachers who then go teach in elementary schools.

Remember how Hitler did it? He had his core of youth that were trained (brainwashed) and eventually even turned in their parents. (Oh, nothing like that would ever happen here in the USA!) It’s been going on in our country for a long time now. It comes under various names like Outcome Based Education, Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind, Quality Education, and Common Core just to name a few.

Like I said before, it seems like the name changes when people figure out that it might not be so good. Satan is good at that. He keeps the same programs but changes the names to fool everyone. It works too! It works because IT SOUNDS GOOD! How can it be a bad thing to have a “Quality” Education? I call it ‘double-speak’ much like politicians. You and I have a good mindset so think they want the same for our children. They have a whole different plan and want people to be followers…workers…submissive. “Quality” to them means something completely different because they have a whole different plan for all of us.

Once Julie and I started studying and figuring it all out we taught what we discovered in neighborhood meetings. There are many Christians out there who understand the signs of these last days. They would invite us and we gave 3-hour discussions in their homes, not to convince them to homeschool but to give them the knowledge to decide what was best for their families. They were thankful. In ALL of our teaching moments, not one LDS member invited us to talk to them!

The LDS Church is all for education, but the members are slumbering to educate themselves. When I ask that question they always say the same thing, “Because it’s too political and I don’t like to think about politics!”

Ahhhhh, Happy New Year ?

Posted on by

If you have been following me for the last year you know how I feel about 2024. This is a year that it will all come apart in the USA unless there is divine intervention. Pray for that!

For now, just a little reprieve on my part…

A little something for you on this Friday morning :)

Free & Fair Election 2024 ?

Posted on by

I had laugh and smile just writing the title to this post! But this question came to me so I just had to write about it.

  • Q: I don’t think my vote counts at all because the system is so corrupt. Do you think I should vote and do you think there is any chance the 2024 election could be fair?

Let’s take the easy one first…Yes, you should vote. I am not saying it will count, I am not saying it will make a difference…I am saying it is your responsibility to vote. Our Founding Fathers designed our Constitutional Republic on responsible and informed folks exercising their right to vote. So, vote!

The ‘free & fair’ part…not a chance in hell the 2024 presidential election is even remotely free or fair! It already has already been proven that to be true…not even a remote chance this presidential election is free and fair.

Let’s face it…for over 100 years the presidential elections have been controlled by two corrupt political parties. And those debased political parties are controlled by people with big money and big power. So the primary winners were chosen ahead of time by folks with that money and power. When it came to the general elections it is often a choice of the lesser of two evils…okay, almost always. Yup, that time-tested saying that has been around for a very long time…for a reason.

As far as the election being fair/free you need but to look at the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. The proven facts, documented evidence, shows that the FBI, DHS, and CIA were all directly involved in influencing those elections. Both of those agencies acted like the contemptible banana-republic operations that they are. The FBI is of particularly evil note because they actively worked to get Biden elected…it was an active operation by the FBI and there is a mountain of public and verified evidence proving this to be true. And, there is Congressional hearing testimony and FBI & IRS whistle-blower statements to back it all up.

On top of those anti-American agency’s involvement there is virtually all of the mainstream media outlets directly involved as well. They are literally radical leftist, Communist, or at the very least Democrat Party operations. Then factor in social media operations, huge influences, are almost 100% radical left-wing operations. You know very well what their part was…it has been well-documented and proven.

So, virtually everything in the US is lined up to control presidential elections behind the scenes…to get either an easily controlled brain-dead pervert elected (yes, Biden) or some radical leftist to occupy the White House (i.e. Barack Hussein Obama).

Earlier in the article I said, “It already has already been proven that to be true...” in relation to the impossibility of the election being free and fair. Here are my reasons:

  • Trump has now been charged with 91 felony counts across criminal cases in New York, Florida, Washington and Georgia.
  • The leftist regime in Colorado has already set the legal system ground work to remove him from the ballot. And the same State Supreme Court also found that Trump participated in insurrection and rebellion on Jan6th. According to the 14th Amendment that prohibits Trump from being President. And it also opens the door for the possibility of him being tried for treason.
  • The Colorado case has paved the way for at least 16 states who have open legal challenges to Trump’s eligibility for office.
  • The Department of Justice, the FBI, and the IRS have open and on-going investigations into Trump as well. All trying their best to send him to prison…or at least discredit him in the eyes of low-intelligence voters.

And the most recent move by the DOJ (12/27)…Jack Smith, DOJ Prosecutor, requesting a Federal Court Order to limit Trump’s 1st Amendment right to free speech while campaigning. How utterly and entirely anti-American is that?!? There is no longer a Department of Justice…it is now a Department of Authoritarianism. If the court approves such a request you can be assured we have turned the corner, an unrecoverable move, to a total fascist regime.

Does that sound like ‘free & fair’ to you? Or, realistically does it sound like a banana republic operation?

I feel that chances of a free and fair election are 100%…100% impossible.

Test that…In the last 120 years when did we have a president elected that really did the right things for the country to restore it to a Constitutional Republic? The only one I can think of is Reagan…he tried, but mostly unsuccessfully. For the last 25 years our presidents have reduced freedoms and/or grown the country into insurmountable debt that will destroy us.

All that being said…You must vote! You must do your part, or be held accountable for not trying to make things right. Follow what our founders wanted you to do…vote!

Now, do you want to know who to vote for?

That is an easy one…vote for the person that most closely resembles your ethics, values, morals, and beliefs. However, remember this…voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil!

Public Schools – Part #5

Posted on by

In Part #1 I touched just a brief moment on age old saying about sending our children to Caesar. Then In Part #2 I talked about the ‘Father of Public Education in America’ being a radical socialist and Marxist. In Part #3 I wrote about his predecessor, who was also into socialism and authoritarianism. In Part #4, I talked about the origins of public education back about 300 years ago. It is interesting to say the least…and it is still applies just as much today, 300 years later. In this Part #5 I will wrap it all up.

For a very long time I have had my mind open to exactly what the public education system was in the United States. And yes, that is why we home-schooled our kids for awhile. As I began to learn history, through my own reading and research, it became painfully and obviously aware of what was behind the American educational system. Hence, my changing the reference from ‘public’ education/schools to ‘government’ education/schools. As time has passed it has only made me more convinced of what was happening. Problem was…so many people still bought into the whole concept of public education and that apparently entire wonderful system. Facts and truth would not support those emotions/feelings, that propaganda, that these wholly misguided folks were experiencing.

I think it maybe 10 years ago or so when I came across the quote from the early 1800’s where one of the founders of the Prussian Model of public education said their goal was to create good workers and instill in them the right political beliefs and opinions. That clarified so much for me that it took my breath away. I then connected the public education system and Communism/Socialism that arose shortly after the Prussian Model was refined. But was I right?

There was a conflict that I was having a hard time resolving…I believed that the public education system was closely tied to Communism and Socialism. The two main players that brought that public education system to America were both Communists and Socialists…or believed heavily in those principles. But the Prussian Model came from a country that run by a Monarchy with a strong nationalist leaning. The conflict?

That same Prussian Model of public education was whole-hardheartedly welcomed in the USA and adopted by force of law through threat of imprisonment. And I viewed the US, especially then, as a Democracy. It just didn’t seem to match up right…a conflict indeed!

Note: Yes, I know that the USA was established as a Constitutional Republic. However, by the 1920’s when the Prussian Model of education was forced by law upon America, America was no longer a Constitutional Republic and had become a Democracy…a precursor to what was to come…and is now.

And if there every was an enthusiastic adopter of public education it was Hitler who was 100% committed to it. But then again so was the Soviet Union…and they went to war with each other over a number of factors including political ideology…fascism vs socialism. Then there was Canada, the United Kingdom, but also Communist China. What the heck was up with all of this conflict mixed so deeply with the common thread of instituting a public education system?

Ahhhhhh…all you have to do is swap ‘public’ with ‘government’ and then it becomes absolutely crystal clear…government education system…government schools. Now think about it…ALL governments want what? Good workers, nationalism creating good soldiers, and a few controlling/educating elites. The Prussian Model of public education gives them all just that!

Confused on what nationalism is, especial nationalism vs patriotism, you might want to stop and figure that one out.

Nationalism is the extreme love of country and loyalty to it…a virtual unwillingness to question it or challenge it. Patriotism however means love of the founding principles of the USA (i.e. the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights), and being dedicated/committed to protecting those founding principles against corruption and tyranny.

I want to go back and ask this question from Part #4 in this series…”Critical thinking is no longer a mainstream subject taught in schools, neither is history or civics. Why do you think that is?”

Where would you find the ‘founding principles’ of the United States? Yup, in history classes and in civics classes! Now you know why those are no longer taught.

American students in public school saying the Pledge of Allegiance. (circa 1900)

I practice what I preach…so I applied ‘principles vs politics’ to this whole concept as well. If I dropped the political aspect of each country previously named (Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, Communist China, Canada, and the USA) and looked only at the principle of public education adoption…whoa!

ALL of the countries did so for the same reasons…better workforce, strong military, and a nationalist fever. Adopted whole-hardheartedly by Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930’s it resulted in WWII. The Soviet Union and the USA resulting in the 1950’s and 60’s resulting in the Cold War. Virtually all European countries in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s resulting in WWI.

But let’s touch on this for a minute…

  • In just the 1900’s the US has overthrown the countries of Hawaii, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti, Iran, Cuba, Lebanon, the Philippines, Ukraine, and the Dominican Republic.
  • Since the beginning of the US adopting the Prussian Model of public education the US has been involved in 46 medium to major wars and military conflicts, along with another 40 or so minor military conflicts.
  • The CIA has assassinated a long list of sovereign foreign government leaders and public officials.
  • The US State Department, the FBI and the CIA, along with other government agencies have directly and indirectly interfered with hundreds of elections in foreign countries as well as here in the US…including the Presidential elections of 2016 and 2020.

So who has the most ‘nationalistic’ view of themselves, the strongest/skilled workforce, and the strongest military in the world at this point in time? Come on…take a guess!

So let’s do a little test, some thinking slightly outside of the box, shall we? Let’s talk about the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) initiative in public education.

  • The originating report “Charting a Course for Success” was released during Trump’s second year in office, 2018. However, the report was mostly penned prior to Trump’s Administration.
  • Those who wrote the report were appointed under Barack Obama.
  • The report was begun after the US Department of Commerce and US Department of Labor released reports that the US was deficient in specific areas of education; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Those reports were released in 2013 – 2015. The departments producing those reports were under the Obama administration.

Now read this from the government report “Charting a Course for Success”…

“Since the founding of the Nation, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have been a source of inspirational discoveries and transformative technological advances, helping the United States develop the world’s most competitive economy and preserving peace through strength. The pace of innovation is accelerating globally, and with it the competition for scientific and technical talent. Now more than ever the innovation capacity of the United States—and its prosperity and security—depends on an effective and inclusive STEM education ecosystem.”

Did you pick up on anything specific in that paragraph?

  1. “…preserving peace through strength…” – Where does that ‘strength’ come from? The military. And where does the technology come from to make the US military the strongest? The military-industrial complex.
  2. “…its prosperity and security…” – Where does ‘prosperity’ come from? The economy, and that comes from workers employed by big business…such as the tycoons of yesteryear…Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan. Where does the money come from to buy all those weapons? Private banks who are part of the Federal Reserve. Where does ‘security’ from? A strong military…via the military-industrial complex. And who owns the ‘industrial’ part of that complex?

And what was the Prussian Model all about? Better workers for industry, a strong military, and a strong nationalistic fervor.

And what does STEM do within the US public education system? Exactly!

So you might say it benefits the people of the US through better jobs and higher incomes!

Let’s consider this:

  • According to a report from Forbes in 2019…less than 50% of U.S. workers feel that they are in good jobs. Ironically, there is a nexus between the quality of one’s job and the overall quality of a person’s life.
  • From that same report…results show that despite a perceived strong economy, most people self-report that their job quality has stagnated or gotten worse in almost every aspect.
  • People who reported they were ‘very satisfied’ with their job has dropped 22% in just the last year. While both the ‘somewhat dissatisfied’ and ‘very dissatisfied’ categories are up sharply.
  • Average student loan balance at graduation in 2004 was under $20,000. In 2019 it was well over $33,000…a 67% increase.
  • In 2006 the total student loan debt was $500billion, in 2022 it was $1.75billion. More than triple in 16 years. Almost all of that debt is owed by the students to the US federal government.
  • And the middle class has been shrinking since the early 1970’s…as the lower income and super rich categories have grown.

Enough is enough!

I’ve given you facts, truths, and history. I’ve painted the picture as clearly as I know how. Now, it is time for you to form an opinion…to establish your principle in this regard of so-called public education.

Once you do that…then act!

I leave this one last tidbit of information…

“Free education for all children in government schools and abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form – combination of education with industrial production, etc.”

Let’s see now…where does this concept come from that the USA has so enthusiastically and entirely adopted? What is the source of this idea that millions and millions of American parents love and support? Oh, that’s right! It comes directly from the Communist Manifesto. The Communist Manifesto that was written in 1848…just as the so-called public education system was maturing in Europe and being introduced in the United States. Hummmmm…I wonder why it’s in the Communist Manifesto and adopted by every authoritarian government in the world for the last 150 years?

Some last food for thought…
