Lesson Learned: 10/7 Attack on Israel (Part #2)

Posted on by

This is Part #2 in this series. If you haven’t read Part #1, you probably should.

< Lesson Learned: 10/7 Attack on Israel (Part #1) >

As you well know by now I am a big believer is After Action Reviews/Reports (AARs), and a critical part of that process is coming up with a list of “Lessons Learned” (LLs). Learning from mistakes helps avoid making those same mistakes again and again.

I was not in Israel at the time of 10/7 attacks. I do not have access to any classified information on what happened before, during, or after the attacks. I have watched hours and hours of reports, interviews, first-hand accounts, military videos, first responder videos, and read many first-hand articles/accounts of that day by survivors and responders. While I am not representing these LLs to be all-inclusive or without flaw, I feel confident that these observations and conclusions are well-grounded and applicable to learn from.

Further, these posts are not intended to denigrate Israel, the IDF, Israeli citizens, victims of 10/7 or in anyway take from the horrific attack on their country and citizens by Islamic terrorists, Hamas. There are many heroic stories of acts of bravery by countless men and women in Israel that day. My goal is to provide information and my opinions on how to prevent such things from happening to you and to your family.

There will be multiple posts in this series to help cover what I feel at important and applicable topics.

#5 – Normalcy Bias

Normalcy Bias is the refusal of your brain to accept that something has happened, will happen, or to what extent something has happened.

Report after report from 10/7 survivors made several points; 1) they thought it was just another rocket attack or a warning of a possible rocket attack, 2) even after people heard gunshots they didn’t connect it to a terrorist attack, 3) at the music festival, site of hundreds of young people slaughtered, even once they realized they were being attacked by terrorists, many didn’t react (try to escape) for 10 – 15 minutes. There are even videos of Israelis in cars driving past Hamas terrorists killing other Israelis and then dragging them out of their cars…and then the passer-byes getting killed themselves.

Ironically, these festival folks lived within hearing, a short walk, or in close proximity to Gaza…a heaven for Islamic terrorists (Hamas) who have repeatedly and publicly stated they want to kill all Jews and wipe Israel off the map. Israel is a country who has been regularly attacked by Muslims trying to eliminate the entire Hebrew religion and country of Israel. Israel is considered to be one of the toughest countries in the world in terms of being able to defend itself and its military prowess. Yet, almost all civilians and most police suffered from Normalcy Bias that day.

I have no explanation for this phenomena. I would have thought that Israelis, of all people, would be attuned to the signs of a terror attack and the correct steps to take to defeat the terrorists or at least protect themselves and their families.

The only thing I can suggest is to allow strange and out of the ordinary situations to startle you into action regardless of how foreign the event seems. I am asking for you to allow your mind to accept things as they truly are and not how you see them through all your psycho-social filters. A good example of what you can do to help prevent Normalcy Bias is “War Game It” with a buddy or two, or your wife, and say “What if this actually did happen, regardless if we think it will happen, what would we do?”

If you fail to recognize reality for what it is, reality will give you a wake-up call…and that could be a fatal mistake.

# 6 – Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance occurs when we are presented with two or more sensory inputs that are contradictory to our expectations we can become very uncomfortable, very unbalanced mentally. Then we will consciously or unconsciously shun anything that is causing the unbalance. Meaning anything that is out of the ordinary will be blocked out mentally or simply ignored.

Cognitive Dissonance is similar to Normalcy Bias…but Cognitive Dissonance is the actual mental process that is taking place when presented with extreme out of the ordinary sensory inputs. Example: We hear rocket attack warning sirens, which we are used to, but ignore the sounds of gunfire. Example: We see people wearing masks with automatic weapons killing people in cars, but drive by them anyways because our brain can’t accept that unbalance of seeing terrorists killing our neighbors on the streets of our community.

The only explanation I have for this phenomena is lack of training. The citizens who lived in close proximity to some of the most violent Islamic terrorists in the world simply didn’t train for the possibility that they could be attacked…even though they lived within sight of those terrorist strongholds.

This could only be looked at as a complete breakdown of government emergency preparedness. Well, that and citizens not taking responsibility for their own emergency preparedness and safety. And this shows in two major ways; 1) extreme gun control by government, 2) lack of people applying for gun licenses.

# 7 – Situational Awareness

Situational Awareness (SA) is accurately observing and understanding the things taking place around you, then using that information to make good decisions and then take appropriate action.

Touchy subject alert – Somehow all of the Israeli intelligence services, the entire military, and all police resources missed that Hamas we preparing an extremely violent terrorist attack on 10/7…even though Hamas had been planning and preparing it for over a year. So thousands of those folks all suffered from poor, or non-existent, SA. But that was only the beginning.

If you look at the barriers to SA you see almost a textbook case study of just how bad it can get. Here are just some of them:

Physical Barriers:

      • Communication – Hardware
      • Communication – Quality & Quantity
      • Staffing (under staffed, level of training)

Emotional/Mental Barriers:

      • Normalcy Bias (includes Complacency, Perceptions)
      • Competency Bias
      • Overwhelmed (including: stress, distraction, conflict & Paralysis by Analysis)
      • Culture
      • Tunnel Vision

Looking at the situation objectively:

      1. Communications broke-down fairly quickly due to radio/cell towers being disabled by attackers and poor, lack of adequate information being passed to next-level authorities by forces on the ground.
      2. Police staffing was extremely inadequate, and virtually no IDF presence even though the area was located in very close proximity to known terrorist strongholds.
      3. Normalcy and Competency Bias was rampant with civilians, police personnel, and military forces.
      4. Due to the sheer size, scope, and ferocity of the attacks civilians, police personnel, and military forces were overwhelmed. It took 8 – 12 hours for a solid IDF response to the attacks, and even days to clear all of the areas.

Basically…objectively speaking, SA was essentially non-existent that day. And that fact killed hundreds in an of itself.

Lesson Learned: 10/7 Attack on Israel (Part #1)

My goal is to provide information and my opinions on how to prevent such things from happening to you and to your family.

There will be multiple posts in this series to help cover what I feel at important and applicable topics.

#1 – Can’t Depend on Government Protection

Repeatedly the same issue came up…the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was not able to respond quickly enough to protect citizens in the Gaza border settlements. In addition, the local police were not present in sufficient numbers, or with adequate arms, to provide security for those same citizens. A quote from an Israeli source, “the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were caught flat-footed.”

In most cases settlements/neighborhoods were attacked by relatively limited numbers of terrorists. However, these terrorists were well armed, fairly well trained, organized, and with a clear mission. They outgunned police in almost every situation, often using RPGs to initiate the attacks to overwhelm initial defenses. IDF troops were too distant to rapidly respond to provide defense, taking as long as 8 – 10 hours to arrive on scene. This allowed terrorists virtual free-reign to carry out their attacks.

According to IDF reports, further complicating the issue was “the IDF’s division headquarters under attack, it was almost impossible for the chief of staff in Tel Aviv to find out what was going on or how to respond in those crucial early hours of the assault.”

Israeli citizens were not able to depend on police personnel or military troops to provide adequate defense.

#2 – Gun Control Doesn’t Work

At the time of the attack Israel had, and still does have, extreme gun control laws. Only licensed gun owners may lawfully acquire, possess, or transfer a firearm…or ammunition. And then they are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm or ammunition. The minimum age for gun ownership in Israel is 27 years, 21 years if completed national service or 18 years if served in the military; and gun owners must re-apply and re-qualify for their firearm license every three years. Licensed firearm owners in Israel are permitted to possess only one firearm and a limited quantity of ammunition.

These extreme gun restrictions made it relatively easy for terrorists to attack unarmed citizens who were unable to fight back and effectively defend themselves or their children. Those who might have possessed a pistol found they ran out of ammunition very quickly. There were entire neighborhoods and communities where no one had a gun to fight back against the terrorists.

Israeli citizens were not able to provide any reasonable self-defense against terrorists due to extremist gun controls, effectively disarming the population who lived in close proximity to known violent terrorists.

#3 – Safe Rooms have to be Safe

From Israelis themselves, “In the South of Israel, near the Gaza border, it’s a much different reality. These safe rooms did little to secure children watching their mothers murdered and mothers watching their kids’ souls leave their bodies—small bodies that were then wrapped in body bags.”

In 1992 by the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command, established new civil defense regulations. The regulations required the inclusion of a residential protected room, a communal protected space, or an institutional protected space in every newly constructed building. “The rooms are meant to keep you safe from rockets.” However, a recent building inspection, showed about 75% of the safe rooms surveyed had one or more defects, and 70% of the shelters inspected had major construction flaws as well.

Many of the safe rooms that were breached in Israel during the 10/7 attacks had doors that could not be locked from the inside, they were also not even capable of stopping rounds from rifles or pistols from penetrating the inside of the safe room. There were many reports of residents trying to secure the doors with twine, vacuum cleaner hoses, wood, and bare hands. None of the safe rooms were resistant to fire. When terrorists did find a secured safe room they would simply start fires in the house to kill people in the safe rooms by burning them alive or force them out due to smoke and heat and then murdering them.

If a safe room is to be utilized in a home it must be able to withstand all threats that may be realistically imposed upon it. Further, it must be readily accessible, easily secured, and all aspects of its operation and capabilities known to all residents regardless of age.

#4 – Lack of Adequate Ammo Supplies

As outlined in #2 above, Israeli citizens had to apply for, qualify for, and receive a gun license before purchasing or a gun or ammunition. And even then, gun license holders can only have 50 rounds of ammunition on hand. Israel has gun laws that can only be described as ‘extremist’…and this directly led to hundreds of Israeli citizens being murdered, raped, and kidnapped. Since 10/7 Israel did relax that ammunition restriction…licensed gun owners can now have 100 rounds of pistol ammunition on hand.

Anyone who has ever been in a gun fight knows that you can blow through hundreds of rounds in a single, rather brief, battle. Even during training classes I have used 500 or more rounds in less than a day with measured and limited usage. In one class I ran almost 1000 rounds of AR ammo and another 300 rounds of pistol ammo. On one VIP protection detail I had 73 rounds on me, four 18-round mags and one in the chamber of my Sig. Even then I felt uncomfortable in case of need.

Without an adequate supply of appropriate ammunition your weapon(s) become completely useless. Not only should adequate ammunition supplies be available, an appropriate amount ammo should be pre-loaded in magazines and stored for easy/ready access.

What do I consider an adequate supply of ammunition? Here are my thoughts for minimums; 1) Pistol: 200 rounds of Hornady XTP, Golden Saber, or similar, 2) Shotgun: 300 rounds of 00 buckshot, Slugs, Hornady SST, 3) Carbine: 2000 rounds of a good penetrating round if 5.56, FMJ if 7.62. These are “per” weapon for immediate use. Pre-loaded minimum amounts in magazines, per-weapon; 1) pistols – 50-80 rounds, 2) carbines – 10 magazines. Magazines should be easily carried on your body in appropriate pouches.

SitRep – 11/9/2023

Posted on by

It has been a long time since I produced a SitRep; actually it’s been 4 months since the last one…and 3 months before that for the “critical” one. But, I have had a fair number of requests to start them back up again…so here goes.

In the world today I could write SitReps that are dozens of pages each…and post a SitRep like that a couple times a week. That being the case…one I won’t do…I have to and choose my topics carefully. I want to hit subjects that have, or could have, a significant impact on our lives and have a likelihood of occurring or are occurring. And I don’t want to hit on the same stuff everyone else does…why repeat what you are already learning from other sources.

Regardless of what you read here in my SitReps or what others have to share, remember this…when you are watching the right-hand be very careful of what the left-hand is doing. Meaning…a lot of what is happening is primarily for distraction. To get you focused, maybe even obsessed, over a topic or two…and then get blindsided with something you didn’t see coming. And that is where we are today in this screwed up world…we are continually getting blindsided. Just ask Israel.

Here is what I will cover in this SitRep:

  • Strategic Oil Reserve Release
  • US Employment
  • Federal Government Debt Spiraling Out of Control
  • 80% of Americans Worse Off
  • Economy
  • War Status
  • Summary
Strategic Oil Reserve Release –

This month Biden planned to release an historic amount of oil from the US Strategic Oil Reserve (SOR), 180,000,000barrels. (Yes, I know it is called the Strategic Petroleum Reserves). The SOR’s mission is to store enough crude oil to allow the US plenty of fuel for the military in times of war. Biden has already released more SOR oil during his presidency that other Presidents…and this has greatly reduced the US ability to defend itself in a time of war. So why is Biden releasing even more oil if it reduces defense capabilities?

The average price of gasoline just before Biden was elected in 2020 was $1.84 per gallon. By the end of Biden’s first year it had jumped to $3.30…80% price jump. And it continued to rise to $4.99 per gallon by June 2022…170% price increase. But Biden released oil from the SOR just before the 2022 mid-term elections driving the price of gasoline down to $3.64 in August 2022, 27% decrease. But the gasoline price steadily increased again till this latest SOR release announcement…dropping the price to $3.49 per gallon…just as the 2024 Presidential race starts to gain momentum. Huuuummmmm…

So Biden has no problems selling out the US defense capability to make consumers feel good about the price of gas…just to win elections. Sad…and true. Then again…Joe Biden has a long, long history of selling out the US for any number of reasons.

US Employment –

October 2023 jobs numbers showed 150,000 new jobs added to the economy…CELEBRATION!!

Biden loves to use jobs numbers to show how well his economic plans are working…bragging…well, when he can talk coherently at least. But what do the real numbers show?

Well, on average estimates say that about 200k – 300k people retire each month. And there is a trend that approximately 80k – 100k people stop looking for work month. That means, conservatively, 250k – 400k people leave the work force each month…and in October only 150k people found work…a net loss of at least 100,000 people working…jobs.

Interesting when you look at the labor force participation…only 2/3rds of the US population that could work, are working. Yeah, retirees, disabled, etc. are not part of that…so 1/3rd of the eligible working population of the US have chosen not to work.

Oh wait…in October 2023 initial jobless claims, people who lost their jobs and filing for unemployment benefits, were running almost 200k PER WEEK! Oooooppppppssssss…that means about 800,000 lost their job in October and filed for unemployment. And stats show only 150,000 people were hired in October 2023.

We have a net LOSS of 600,000 +/- jobs last month…and Biden still is trying to brag about his “Biden Economy”…he is seriously mentally impaired…or is this just another example of how the US federal government lies to us and tries to deceive us about everything?

Federal Government Debt Spiraling Out of Control –

On November 1st, a mere week ago, the US Treasury announced it was conducting a sale of $112billion of US bonds. Sounds like normal debt sale to cover government expenses, yes? Well, almost. You see they also stated that this was to cover $102billion in debt that they could not pay off out of the government checking account. Yeah, borrowing money to pay off money they had previously borrowed. But notice the amount!?

The US federal government has to borrow…9.8% more money to pay off the old debt. So in one fell swoop that represents the US federal government going 10% more in debt…because of debt! Serious financial mismanagement…but we all have known that…but now the chickens are coming home to roost.

So how would you be doing personally if you had to borrow money to pay your minimum credit card payments each month?

80% of Americans Worse Off –

Just a couple of days ago a Bloomberg poll just came out showing 80% of Americans feel they are worse off financially now, under Biden, than in 2020 under Trump. Huh?

And not surprising since MoneyWise just released numbers showing that 86,000 families were evicted in October 2023. And they also stated that over 1,000,000 families were evicted in the last year. Primary reasons…rising grocery costs, reduced working hours, and households with children. So how’s that Biden economy working for them?

Economy –

Financial System Collapse is a concern, threat, risk for preppers during grid-down.The economy is in ruin and getting worse…but people seem blind to it.

Suze Orman, American former financial advisor, author, and founder of the Suze Orman Financial Group, just warned of a looming financial ‘pandemic’ and the government won’t be able to save anyone.

TheStreet just stated that the stock market is rallying “Right Into a Recession.”

Ron Paul just warned, “…the worst financial disaster in history is unfolding before our eyes. Call it the ‘everything bubble,’ call it the ‘death of the dollar,’ call it whatever you want. Most Americans are struggling to make ends meet because of what’s happening. And the elites know things are only going to get worse.”

Barons just came out with their own warnings; 1) savings from government COVID payments has all been spent, 2) people are using credit cards to pay bills, 3) more and more people are falling behind in paying those credit card bills, 4) more job cuts are coming.

Two days ago BusinessInsider just released that the banks are struggling with $650billion in unrealized losses from the bond market.

Last week BuisnessInsider released a report stating the following; 1) Foreign bond investors are “extremely concerned” about US deficits, 2) a warning that demand for US Treasury bonds is waning, 3) the possible dumping of US assets in Japan and China looms large over bond markets.

Last week Reuters (London) reported that the dollar continues to fall world-wide. They cited weakness in U.S. jobs data, softer manufacturing numbers, and a decline in longer dated Treasury yields hurt the dollar.

Investopedia reported a couple of days ago that poll of CEO’s cited that high interest rates are hurting every corner of the business world in the United States. And who is responsible for the higher interest rates? Ah yeah, the Federal Reserve…a cabal of private bankers working for the US federal government. And who is making that interest off those higher rates? Oh, the banks…imagine that.

And TCD just released the information that Biden is removing 10,000,000 acres from oil production. Yeah, at a time when gasoline and heating prices are killing the average American family financially, and the US Strategic Oil Reserve is at a dangerously low historic level. So Biden reduces the ability of the US to produce its own oil and natural gas. Gee, I wonder why he did that?

War Status –

You follow the news, you know what is happening in regards to war. We have been in a war with Russia, albeit proxy war via Ukraine, and it is seriously depleting our supply of ammo, artillery shells, anti-tank weapons, S2S missiles, and other equipment. And yes, we’ve had US troops in Ukraine since before the war started and they are actively engaged in the conflict.

We are now in a war, albeit proxy war in Israel, with Iran. We, meaning US forces, have been struck nearly 50 times since the war started. And now we have struck targets in Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon. And yes, we’ve had US troops, especially special forces, actively engaging Hamas and Hezbollah. And we are now depleting our military and war supplies even further.

But here are two questions I have:

      1. On the surface it appears that our US intelligence services completely missed the fact that Russia was about to invade Ukraine, even when they were massed on Ukraine’s border. Why did they miss it?
      2. On the surface it appears that our US intelligence services completely missed the fact that Hamas was about to invade Israel, even when Hamas had been planning the attack for a year and had massed their fighters on the border with Israel. Why did they miss it?

Sorry, a couple more questions:

      1. Why did Biden restore Iran’s nuclear weapons program when he became President?
      2. Why did Biden enable Iran to make to make an additional $60+billion in oil revenues and give Iran another $6billion in cash to fund Hamas, Houthi, and Hezbollah terrorists that are now engaged in a war with Israel?

But then it makes me wonder:

      1. Why is Biden depleting our military’s war supplies at an alarming rate…which is going to take years to replenish?
      2. Why is Biden drastically depleting our Strategic Oil Reserve reducing our military’s ability to defend the US…while driving the price of fuel through the roof here in the US…and increasing USA’s dependency on foreign oil supplies?

Then the last one:

      1. Why is Biden absolutely destroying the US economy with inflation and regulations?
Summary –

If you start looking at all of these supposedly disparate data points as actually linked and intentional it starts to make

Convergence Point

sense. You see, I don’t think Biden is doing any of this. Well, technically he is “doing” it meaning he is taking the steps to make it happen. But Biden is not the one making the decisions. Yup, along with being a mental midget (no offense to midgets intended) he is now completely in the throws of dementia and unable to think on his own in any capacity.

So here are my thoughts, what better way to reduce the USA to a tier two country:

  • Reduce the country’s ability to conduct war or defend herself militarily.
  • Collapse the domestic economy destroying families and businesses.
  • Pit many different groups of US citizens violently against each other.
  • Make the country dependent on foreign countries for its oil needs…from countries that are openly anti-American.
  • Create a 2-front war situation stretching our military resources to the max.
  • Weaken the US dollar so foreign countries no longer have faith/trust in the $ as the global reserve currency.

But maybe, just maybe, I am not asking the right level of question. Maybe the right question, from the right perspective, would be…What comes after the USA is just another tier two country?

Folks, I have been sharing with you for years what I see as the big picture…and just how bad it will become here in the US. Stop, for just a minute and consider what I am saying. Then take another minute and think about what you can do today to prepare for what you see coming.

At some point this coming week take an hour and consider what you need to do to protect your family from the forces gathering all around and where we are headed. Please, you really need to.

Note: I mentioned being “blindsided” with the left hand while being focused on the right hand. I firmly believe there are a number of those in the works…one I am working on closely but I am not ready to share it just yet. But, I am telling you…the sheer evil of what Biden is doing and planning is incredible beyond belief and has the capacity to shift America in ways that is hard to imagine. I will tell you this…if there is any of my articles that you feel have value, do one or both of these things; 1) save the article to your computer, thumb drive, etc., 2) print out the article.

Israel and the Middle East…its time!

Posted on by

I have thought long and hard about this subject, waiting almost a month until clearly and definitively knowing my mind and heart…and what exactly happened and what is happening. Sure, I had my initial feelings, but I wanted time for Israel to prove herself and the facts to come out…then to be sure about how I write it down.

First off, I had to remind myself that there is a difference between Israel the country and Israel the group of citizens…just as there is a difference between US federal government and the American people. Then the difference between Israel the country and Israel the Jewish religion. That was evident all the way back thousands of years when Israel had a king to govern the country and Israel had a prophet to lead the religious side.

And then there was the issue of what group of people has/had the right to occupy the lands…and for that we need some history:

  • About 4000 years ago God promised the people of Israel the lands occupied by the Canaanites; says so in the Bible.
  • About 3300 years ago the Israelites defeated the Canaanites and occupied the land.
  • About 2700 years ago the land of Israel was conquered by Assyrians.
  • About 2500 years ago Israel was freed by Persia who restored the lands to Jews, as well as some others.
  • Then Israel enters a thousands year period of foreign occupation, war, and genocide at the hands of Christians, Muslims, and polytheists.
  • In the 1800’s the Ottomans (Muslims) conquered the area and the British supported them. However, during this same times period there was a large Jewish migration into the region adding to the Jews already living there.
  • When the Ottoman Empire fell during WWI Palestine became the name of the territory and was ruled by the British Empire.
  • At the end of WWII, as the British Empire was falling, Britain retreated from the Palestine territory in 1947/1948. The UN proposed a 2-state solution for the area…for both Israel and Palestine. The Jewish people accepted the proposal, Arabs/Muslims rejected it.
  • In 1948 at least five Muslim countries invaded the area after Israel declared itself an independent nation and the Muslims vowed to wipe Israel off the map and kill all of the Jews.
  • In early 1949 Israel defeated the Muslim alliance and was now a stand-alone free and independent country.

So who is entitle to the lands currently referred to as Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank? The answer depends on if you Believe in God and the Bible…or not.

If you believe in God and the Bible then the Jewish people (i.e. Israel) was given the lands by God, then they defeated the Canaanites (multiple independent tribes) who occupied the land at the time. So the Jews/Israel have a legitimate claim to the land. Why? Because God said so and it is documented in the Bible, and settled by a war documented historically.

If you don’t believe in God…well, it gets a little more problematic. The people of Israel, Jewish people, defeated the Canaanites (multiple independent tribes) and won the land by default (spoils of war) about 3300 years ago. Granted, the land went back and forth from Jews to Empires to Jews to Muslims to Christians to Muslims to Empires…and then back to Jews in 1948 and confirmed in 1949 when the Jews won the war that the Muslims started. Several wars have been started by regional Muslim countries and groups in the last 75 years, but the nation of Israel have won each. So Israel has won the land in a war thousands of years ago and 75 years ago reclaimed those lands… and successfully defended them since.

So what about “Palestine”? Well, remember the word, used to define the geographical-political group of people didn’t come into actual existence until the earl 1900’s. Now, there is a group of scholars that advocate that the name Palestine refers to the people called Philistines. Problem is…there is nothing definitive to prove that to be true. But, even it is…the first record of the Philistines is approximately 100+ years after Israel conquerors the Canaanites. And it was the Philistines who came into and tried to take away the land from Israel about 100 years later…but Israel beat the Philistines when they invaded.

And then there is the inconvenient actual historical name of land occupied by the Philistines…it’s called “Philistia”…yeah, not “Palestine” regardless of how language “experts” try to do word convolution.

There is one more issue to discuss…DNA. The people of Gaza, Palestinians, reportedly share some Canaanite DNA, my research shows that to be true. And the Palestinians have previously used that to “prove” they are the rightful people to occupy the land of Israel…because it first belonged to the Canaanites. Well, there is a complication here…first, Israel beat the Canaanites and took over that land as a spoil of war. Second, Israelites also share some Canaanite DNA. Ah so, the DNA argument is offset since both groups of people share some Canaanite DNA…hence, an equality of claim.

One way or another…Jews are entitled to ALL the land of Israel…including Gaza and the West Bank…period!!!

So for all of you Americans that want to disagree with me…well, then all the citizens of the US need to leave the United States of America and return the entirety of the USA over to the French, Spanish, and British. And they need to then turn their land holdings in North American over to Native Americans who were here before them…the original people. What is fair in the Middle East has to be just as fair in North America!

Let me as clear as possible…Israel has a legitimate “right” one way or another to their lands in the Middle East…ALL of them…including Gaza and the West Bank.

Last month Hamas terrorists attacked Israel slaughtering men, women, children, toddlers, and infants. They raped, sodomized, beat, tortured, and beheaded hundreds…others they shot, bombed, and burned alive. It was nothing less than an atrocity carried out by sub-human Muslims. And those same Muslims have been trying to exterminate the Israeli people for over 75 years. And yes, those Muslims took over where Hitler left off…after Hitler killed more than 6,000,000 Jews.

If you can’t see that…then you are either of immense stupidity, incredible ignorance, have a soul cankered with darkness that knows no depths, or a serious misplacement of priorities. It is NOT a matter of religion and it is NOT a matter of who’s land claim is legitimate…it is a matter of a people with shear hatred and satanic desires in their heart…the terrorist Muslims. It is a classic and ultimate example of good vs evil. And Israel is not the bad guy here…they are not the evil here.

Think about this for a second…if the US was attacked by hundreds of Canadian terrorists sponsored by the Canadian government…killing 55000 Americans, injuring 112000 Americans, kidnapping more than 9000 Americans…what would you have the US military do to those Canadian terrorists?

And you knew the Spanish government funded the Canadian terrorists, gave them the weapons and the training to launch the attack…what would you have the US military do to Spain?

Does that help clarify the situation…and Israels right and obligation to respond?

But who does the US federal government stand with? You might think it is Israel…but you would be wrong. Yeah, you could point to air craft carriers, military advisors, White House statements, etc…but would you be looking at reality, the truth?

The last year of Trump’s presidency Iran had oil revenues of $14billion. Remember Trump placed sanctions on Iranian oil in late 2018, when he stopped Obama’s Iranian nuclear weapons program deal. That year, before the Trump sanctions, Iran made $50billion in oil revenues. Trump dropped that by by 72%, then Biden became president.

Not only did Biden restore the Iranian nuclear weapons program, Iran’s oil revenues jumped to $38billion in 2022…and $55billion in 2023. The truth of the matter is…Biden has given Iran an additional $65billion in additional oil revenues!! And then gave Iran an additional $6billion in cash just a couple of months ago. AND…put Iran back on the path to nuclear weapons…the path the Obama designed. And what country funds, arms, supports, and directs Hamas, Houthi, and Hezbollah? Yeah, Iran does…imagine that!

And during this same time period…Biden has given 100’s of millions of dollars directly to Gaza and even more to the surrounding countries…all of whom have attacked Israel at one time or another in the last 50 years.

So who does Biden and the us federal government REALLY support?

Is the country of Israel perfect? Nope! Is the religion of Jewish people perfect? Well, God Himself calls them “His people” but probably not considered perfect based on Christ’s teachings. Is the government of Israel perfect? Hardly. Are Israelis without blame of doing anything wrong? Obviously not.

85 years ago virtually the entire world stood by and allowed more than 6million Jews to be slaughtered…a genocide of men, women, children, and infants. Should it be allowed again? Should we turn a blind eye again?

Hell No!

Let Israel defend herself. Let Israel wipe this Islamic terrorist group off the face of the earth making EVERYONE safer! We, the USA, would defend ourselves…let Israel do the same!

I stand with Israel !!!

I stand against Islamic terrorism ! ! !

I will not be silent, I will not be blind ! !

I stand with Israel !!!

I stand on my principles…what do you stand on and for?

FEEDBACK: “A note of concern…serious concern!”

Posted on by

AH Trimble Feedback and CommentsI received a couple interesting comments to yesterday’s article. One felt like it was honest, heartfelt, open, and very civil…and if I am not mistaken, I knew this guy a long time ago. The other reply…well, it sounded far different…and I will leave it at that.

I believe both should be shared for purposes that I feel important. And yes, I replied to both…both deserve an honest response from me.

What I am asking of you; 1) read both with an open mind and subjecting yourself to the influence of the Spirit, allow truth to come to your heart and mind, 2) see how this might affect you in your life to guide and direct you going forward.

  • A number of the people that defended Chad and Lori were relatives, friends, and followers who couldn’t believe they were capable of doing what they did. They were lied to and deceived.

Barry,

Unfortunately in this world today there are a great number of influences and influencers that lie and deceive. It is part of this fallen world that we live in…and the imperfect people around us. All the more important the wise counsel that a modern day Prophet has invited us to have the HG with us continually in order to survive these times.

As I approach my 69th birthday I have become somewhat jaded in that I believe people are pretty much capable of anything. I try to extend the benefit of the doubt to folks as needed…but when I receive a witness of truth, then that is the end of doubt. Then I have to try and remember that we are ALL children of God and all subject to falling. Then it becomes even tougher for me.

Just to clarify between you and I, when I made the statement “…there was a long list of creeps that defended these folks right up to the very end…” I don’t think I was referring to those that you made reference to…at least I don’t think so. I was referring to some folks who were aggressively attacking those who opened the possibility that they were guilty. So, in my mind, someone giving them the benefit of the doubt, or even defending them civilly, is far different than being aggressive, belittling, demeaning, and hostile towards those who saw the guilt. And there were also a few who had financial relationships…but that is another story…although there is some overlap.

But let’s not lose track of the intent and focus of the article…not to become a “crazy” and get caught up in craziness, to stay well-grounded, to keep your head about you, to stay as close to the covenant path as possible…and return when wandering off that path. And recognize crazy when you see it…and get away from it.
AH

  • Should we be equally afraid of your website too? Lots of opinions out there and its easier to be a critic than provide helpful guides.

Hey Wildad1,

You can be whatever you wish. If you want to be afraid…then be afraid of my website…your choice…as is everything. I do often suggest to my website visitors to question everything and do their own research…and the same advice would be yours as well. I hope you use it as intended.

“critic”…are you referring to me? I am warning and cautioning folks in virtually every article I post…if you want to label that being a “critic” then you may certainly do so. You would however be creating your own definition of critic…but that, again, is your choice.

And once more…if you are referring to me as not providing “helpful guides” then you must not be actually reading and understanding my posts that I have been putting up for more than 10 years.

Sounds like you have something lurking under the surface that you wanted to share but held back. Please, by all means…share whatever you wish…as long as it is civil.

I am glad you took the time to read the article. Well, I assume you read and understood the whole article and what my intent was…which I hopefully set the stage for the HG to relate that to you.
AH

A note of concern…serious concern!

Posted on by

If you have been following me for any amount of time you know I caution and warn against “Crazy Town!” Meaning…people going off the deep end and not just believing in crazy crap, but also acting out those beliefs. I’ve talked about those claiming to have special authority in matters of religion, or knowing special avenues to becoming a god, or being an oracle that “true believers” need to follow.

I’ve talked about the sheer craziness of some people and how easily they can sway others into also becoming…well, let’s just say sidetracked in life. And it just happened again.

On Monday a man’s wife, son, and daughter left with their uncle (wife’s brother) to take part in some kind of special “call-out” to Alaska. And the 16-year old son was now some kind of special God leader/messenger/oracle/Davidian something or another. So the wife left her husband, the daughter left her husband, and they deceived the 16-year old telling him this was a celebratory birthday trip…and all followed the uncle who was now some other special voice of God.

Okay, problems; two women leaving their husbands, deceiving the son, and most obvious problem…being told to go to Alaska! And one surefire way to know this is sheer insanity…not just being called-out to Alaska…but heading to Alaska at the beginning of winter!! So insanity wrapped in stupidity!

My point is…some very bad decisions based on an extremely poor thought process brought about by some weird mental illness(es). Fortunately, they were found and the 16-year old minor child was safe and sound.

A few years ago it turned out very differently; two whack-job preppers killed children. Oh, after already have been involved in killing others before that. And they too were caught up in this crap of being “special” to the point of having extraordinary divine spiritual knowledge. And there was a long list of creeps that defended these folks right up to the very end!

Then there are more crazies out there as well; a woman who is a virtual “prophetess” claiming visions and dreams who pretty much replace Christ himself. Oh yeah, she admitted to mental illness a few years later…and people still worship her. Or then there is the guy who fancies himself as having all this tremendous knowledge and insight in the hereafter that he has a huge following who have also made him rather rich along the way. And my favorite…about 13 years ago I was made aware of a guy, we’ll call him ‘Ken’, who had organized this special prepper group that stretched throughout most of the western US. Then it morphed into a militia group. Not long after he went underground but still very much active in craziness. And yes, he tied his movement into a version of religion as well.

Then of course there is the guy, we’ll call him ‘Sniffer’, who came up with his own brand of crazy as a “revelator” who some follow as a prophet. But he is stone-cold crazy…and rich from his followers. Unfortunately, he led thousands away from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

These are just a few of the those that have gone off their nut and fallen into a special brand of insanity. And this is what concerns me…seriously concerns me.

Granted, the world right now is absolutely crazy insane almost beyond comprehension. The economy is all but destroyed, we live in a virtual police state, politicians are drunk on authoritarianism, we have medical professionals butchering children’s genitalia, and war (and rumors of wars) spreading around the world. Almost humorously we have children who believe they are animals…and oddly, schools that accommodate that particular brand in mental illness. One look at the big city messes with homelessness, drug usage, and uncontrolled crime can easily ruin your day.

There are plenty of reasons in our world today to be stressed, seriously concerned, and even fearful in many ways. It is easy to see people’s anger blowing up almost daily; the most exaggerated of this are the shootings around the country and wonder if you or your children will be the next victims. It all sucks…I get it.

Unfortunately we are seeing it bring out the weaknesses in people. People who are weak spiritually or mentally (not knowing who/what they are) are particularly vulnerable. And that leads to folks being led astray in a wide variety of ways. I don’t want you to become one of these!

So here is what I am asking…be careful, be wary, be vigilant, stay Situationally Aware, and don’t be fooled by the crazies out there. Do not be pulled off the path, do not be convinced that crazy is normal. Do not throw you life away to nonsense of people who appear to be, or claim to be, “special”.

If someone comes to you spouting some exceptional insight or knowledge of heaven be wary. If someone says that knowledge came to them in a dream or vision…consider walking, or running, away from that conversation…and quickly. If someone comes to you and tells you they had a dream or vision of a group of people, your family included, moving to some remote location to avoid latter-day destructions…RUN AWAY from them!

No one has special or absolute authority over you…period. If you belong to a church…GREAT!! But a true church, one led by God, will not force or cajole you to do anything. They will instead urge you to follow the Spirit or the Holy Ghost to do what is right in your life. They will invite you to do what is right according to God’s word.

As I close this article I acknowledge that I have been somewhat vague and circumspect in my wording…and that is for a reason. If you know of whom and what I speak…then you get it and my warning. I want the Holy Ghost to speak quietly to you, to your heart, to your soul. I want you to hear His message meant just for you.

Last note before I go…ALL of these crazies have one thing in common…they are/were preppers. And virtually all of them had/have another thing in common…a specific website. Be very, very careful of where you spend your time as well as what you put into your mind…and into your soul. Satan has a way of mixing just enough truth and light to make swallowing poison so easy. But is is poison all the same. Please, I urge you, stay away from those things in your life that contain poison…especially spiritual poison. And know this…it can be very well hidden…until it is too late.

Please take care my friends…be very, very cautious in these times.

Seriously…What the Heck!?!

Posted on by

Okay, I know I posted it on a Friday…a very poor day statistically to get people to read a post…but seriously!?!? The number of views was pathetic.

My article “GDP 4.9% : Economic Celebration ! !” had a very poor viewership count…and I mean low. Lower than it should be for a the site’s normal crowd traffic.

Was it the title…meant to be sarcastic and humorous…or did it end up conveying something else to you? Was the subject just too boring? Or do you feel there is nothing you can do about it? Or do you feel overwhelmed by the economy and what to do?

If you didn’t read the article Friday…well, you should. It explains the BS figure that the Biden folks put out about the economy and its supposedly good health. And it just might help you figure out some personal finance things along the way.

I’m telling you folks…it’s coming like a big old freight train…and it will crush you if you don’t get prepared.

GDP 4.9% : Economic Celebration ! !

Posted on by

Ahhhhhh…not so fast.

First off, what is “GDP” in this context?

GDP is short for Gross Domestic Product. GDP is the monetary measure of the value of all the goods and services produced in a specific time period in a country. GDP is a measure its economic health.

But, there are three different measures of GDP that are used by the government and economists. The one being referred to in the headlines is apparently “real GDP”, meaning it is adjusted for inflation. And that is a good thing, a more accurate picture, or supposedly so.

Let’s take a closer look…so GDP is up 4.9% is being touted as a proof that the economy is strong and there are no worries in the US from a financial perspective. And they are using a number that is already adjusted for inflation makes it a credible and accurate “fact” right?

Well, first off…inflation is calculated based on the price of 200 items in urban areas. And “core inflation” the primary one used by government does not include food or fuel. It also doesn’t calculate in interest rates on loans, credit cards, etc.

But…interest paid is included in GDP calculations.

Did you notice the “ urban areas” part? Yup, so if you live in the suburbs or outside of city limits…the price you pay for stuff is not included in the inflation calculations. Nice, eh? Makes it very accurate and appropriate for everyone…what?

What does that GDP and inflation information mean?

If you listened to most reporting of the stellar GDP number, you probably didn’t hear that consumer spending was up 4%. Now that may sound great too…folks are spending money. Yea!! The economy MUST be good, right?

Here are some of the real facts:

  1. Interest rates have skyrocketed this year; mortgage rates, credit card rates, car loan rates, etc. all of them up. And those higher interest payments are included in consumer spending (up 4%) but not adjusted for inflation since interest rates are not included in calculating inflation.
  2. Student loan repayments started back up in October (last month of the 3rd quarter). This caused millions of people to start spending big money they previously hadn’t. Which means it is included in the GDP going up and not included in inflation.
  3. I don’t know about where you live, but here gas went from $3.69 to $4.29 in the 3rd quarter they are bragging about. Yeah, gasoline up 16% in that quarter. And that wasn’t included in in the inflation calculation which means the GDP was “adjusted” for it. Meaning…all the extra money that you spent on gasoline is included in the GDP going up…and also is included in the increase in consumer spending…but not included in the inflation figure.
  4. When was the last time you went to the grocery store and saw prices go down? Yeah, thought so! Meaning those food price increases are included in GDP but not included in inflation.

All of this means:

  1. Inflation appears to be going down but doesn’t include the increases in gasoline, food, or interest rates.
  2. Consumer spending is going up but that is due to higher prices of everything, especially gasoline, food, student loan payments, and interest rates.
  3. And that all means that the GDP bragging going on is FALSE!!

And let’s not leave the government out of this…with their mulit-multi-trillion dollar budget pumping money at an historic rate into the US economy…and included in the GDP numbers. But not factoring in for the multi-trillion dollar federal budget deficit adding to inflation.

Yup, the only reason GDP is up is much higher prices that consumer is paying gasoline, food, interest rates, and millions of people now paying on their student loans. Along with the US federal government’s out-of-control spending.

You can test that a number of ways:

  1. Huge increase in the percentage number of people paying for essential living expenses with credit cards and NOT using their paychecks because their paychecks are no longer large enough.
  2. Historic amount of credit card and personal debt.
  3. Historic percentage of credit card and car loan default rates.
  4. Historic number of people living paycheck to paycheck…including those making over $100,000 per year.
  5. Historic number of people with historic low amount of money in savings…under the $400 threshold!

Listen to just a sampling of economists:

  • “Your middle-class consumer is being hammered by inflation, by oil prices, by cost of living…”
  • “The U.S. is no longer the central [economic] power.”
  • Mini-millionaires is the fastest growing wealth sector of Americans, second is the top 1% of Americans. (Are you in one of those categories?)
  • “…low- and moderate-income Americans have depleted much of their excess cash reserves and taken on more credit card debt even as borrowing costs are rising and banks are tightening their lending standards.”

But test is the best way of all…How are your fiances doing?

Is your income going up faster than gas or food prices? Are your bills making you grimace as you pay them? In hard-core real terms…how are your finances doing? Your rent going up? Has your mortgage payments gone up or down? How about insurance…your payment/rates going up or down?

Then again…BELIEVE THE US GOVERNMENT FIGURES ! ! ! ! The economy is great! Good times are here! Everything is just fine! Now, move along…nothing but good news here…move along…like a good little sheep.

Happy Days Are Here Again !!!!

Ah, hold on just a second…let’s recap…

  • The US federal government manipulated inflation to not include three huge items (food, fuel, & interest) to make inflation look much lower than it actually is.
  • The US federal government manipulated GDP, adjusted for false lower inflation, making it look better than it actually is…especially since interest payments are a huge part of the so-called increase/improvement in GDP.
  • The US federal government surely has never and would never lie to us or try to deceive us.

Oh never mind all of that…life is great, the economy is booming, country’s financial situation is wonderful!!!!

Move along…nothing to see here.

Firewood & War

Posted on by

The firewood is all cut, split, and stacked for the winter. Remember on 10/18 I wrote I felt prompted over and over again to put up way more firewood than normal? Well, I have 5 cords of wood ready to go. Yeah, that is a stack of wood 4’ high and 80’ long. Why is that noteworthy? Since we’ve been in the new house we have used between 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cords of wood during heating season. We now have nearly 3 times that much ready to go…and I am thinking another couple of cutting mornings yet this year.

Any idea why I am putting up that much firewood?

Let’s talk war…back in May 2021 I said I saw a 60% chance of Russia invading Ukraine…7 months later Russia invaded Ukraine. In that same post I said if we get tangled up with Russia then Iran would make a move by forming a coalition against Israel. Well, we now had to witness 10/7 and the horrific slaughter at the hands of Islamic fighters against Israeli civilians. And again, in that same post I said that if we get tangled up with Russia then China would go active as well. And China has.

Throughout 2023 China has been making moves against Taiwan. A recent article by NPR actually outlined all Chinese actions against Taiwan in 2023, apparently testing their defenses and strategies. But it doesn’t stop there…tensions between China and the Philippines has been significantly on the rise in the last few months. And just days ago a Chinese Navy ship rammed a Philippines Navy ship. The worst part…the US immediately warned China that the US will defend the Philippines at all costs.

So we are in a war with Russia in Ukraine. We are now at war with Iran in Israel. And we are threatening China with a war in the Philippines and Taiwan. Why do you think that is?

In numerous articles I have already shown that we no longer have the military capability to fight a serious war…let alone a 2-front war…and certainly not a 3-front war. We no longer have the oil reserves, the oil production capability, the fuel refining capability, the small arms ammunition, the 155mm shells, the missiles…and we are falling far short of the recruiting goals for a peacetime military let-alone a wartime military. Why do you think that is?

But let me digress to the war in Israel. What is the purpose of Iran starting that war? True, they have continuously stated they want to wipe Israel off the map. They are yet another extremely violent Muslim country that has a 1600 year hatred of Jews. Iran is Shia Muslim…and they hate Sunni Muslims…and Saudi Arabia is Sunni Muslim…and Saudi Arabia recently entered into a peace treaty with Egypt and Israel. And no, Iran doesn’t like that. So what better way yo break the peace treaty and unite the Islamic world…KILL THE JEWS!!

As of now…Israel is in a war with Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. And of course the US has pledged to defend Israel. Strange though…somehow the CIA and NSA completely missed a year-long period of Hamas preparing for the 10/7 operation. Why do you think that is?

Let me throw this at you…who are now the top 8 out of 9 oil producing countries in the world? They are Russia, Saudi Arabia (OPEC), Brazil, Iraq (OPEC), China, Iran (OPEC), United Arab Emirates (OPEC), and Kuwait (OPEC).

Now let’s add this to the story…The current members of BRICS are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

Who are the newest members of BRICS that are now joining the original BRICS members? Argentina, Egypt, Iran (OPEC), Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia (OPEC) and the United Arab Emirates

And then there is the 2022 alliance between OPEC and Russia.

Does that sound strange to you…maybe some real overlapping of those countries?

Huuummmmm…BRICS mission is to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and knock off the US as the world’s #1 economy. OPEC mission is to control the production and exportation of crude oil around the world and knock off the US as the world’s #1 oil producer and reduce the US economic control around the world. China’s #1 goal for decades has been to replace the US as the world’s sole super-power. Russia’s #1 goal for the last 20 years is to knock the US down a peg or two. And of course the Islamic world’s goal has been to wipe Israel off the map…along with the USA (the Great Satan).

Let me ask the question again but slightly different…What is the purpose of Iran starting the war Israel now?

Tie all the world events together in light of BRICS, OPEC, China, and Russia. Bring that together with Biden as President and the USA never more divided and internally hostile with each other in the last 150 years. Now look at it this way…since 10/7 the world, rather the people of the world, have fallen into two basic camps…Pro-Gaza or Pro-Israel. In other words…kill the Jews or support the Jews. And we are seeing violence around the world between those two groups.

Where does the US government fall in this situation? Well, President Obama put VP Biden in charge of sending huge sums of cash to Iran during the Obama regime. President Obama negotiated the agreement to ensure that Iran would get nuclear weapons. Then Biden released billions of dollars to Iran and restored the Iranian nuclear weapons deal that Trump had canceled. Oh yeah…and it was Biden that left billions and billions of dollars of high-grade military equipment in Afghanistan…some of which showed up in the hands of Hamas on 10/7.

So do you believe a person’s words or their actions…which carries the most weight?

I called it back right after Russia invaded Ukraine…World War III had started. It has now spread to the Middle East…and growing worse by the day. And China is now pushing the limits more and more each day.

So where does that leave you?

First off…if 10/7 didn’t repulse you…well, I feel sad for you and your soul. Islamic fighters attacked Israel…but not as in war. Hamas came in as terrorists and committed horrific acts of terror against men, women, children, and babies. There is no justification or rationalization for that…PERIOD!! If you don’t see that…then you may well be on the side of evil. Because that is exactly what that is…Good vs Evil.

Israel is defending itself now and will continue to do so. And they will not be perfect in how they do it, civilians will die…but as collateral damage NOT as targets or terror.

And before the smug self-righteous bastards start to go off on Israel about how they will conduct war…remember the hundreds of thousands of civilians that the US killed bombing Germany during WWII. Or more recently the thousands and thousands of civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, including men, women, children, and babies.

So what does all of this mean to you? I have no earthly idea.

What it means to me…1) the world is at war and it will get worse, 2) this is a battle of good vs evil, 3) BRICS & OPEC are making a bold attempt to destroy the American Empire, 4) the US government is not what it appears, 5) this war is already in the US and will get worse.

And here are my deepest concerns…1) there are Islamic sleeper cells in the US that will strike when ordered, 2) there are Chinese sleeper cells in the US that will strike when ordered, 3) the US authorities are completely unable to deal with it…even if they desired to, 4) a huge criminal element inside the US, controlled outside of the US, is waiting for just the right moment to raise its head to record levels.

And lastly, what this means to me…no one from the government is coming to save me, my family, or the ones I love and care about.

Again, what does all of this mean to you? And…what are you going to do about it?

For me…I am taking steps even as you read this article. I also hope you are, or do, as well.

Come to think of it…maybe I do know why I was so clearly prompted to put up so much firewood…my primary heat source. Maybe that is why I was prompted to put up a supply of gas & oil for my chain saw. Maybe that is why I was prompted to put up a decent supply of diesel fuel for my tractor. Maybe that is why I was prompted to buy so much compost and other garden supplies this summer. Maybe, maybe, maybe…

Did I mention that OPEC and BRICS control about 90% of oil production the in world? Did I mention that OPEC and BRICS economies dwarf the US economy? Did I mention that OPEC and BRICS control the vast majority of all food produced in the world? Did I mentioned that OPEC and BRICS militaries, including nuclear weapons, dwarf the US military? Did I mention how many military age individuals have come into the US illegally through the southern boarder from OPEC and BRICS in the last 2 decades?

So much I haven’t mentioned, right? Maybe things you might want to think about…both what I have mentioned and what I haven’t. Just a thought.

Oh wait…one last thought…do you think if Israel believes it about to be defeated by Muslims that it will hesitate to use its nuclear weapons? And if Israel does…then who else?

Okay…the real one last thought…with all of these things happening in the world today the way they are…”Why?” No, actually…”Who is orchestrating it and who is supporting it?” might be the better question. Then that answer clarifies everything else.

Current State of the Union – 10/19/2023

Posted on by

I started this article about 3 weeks ago, I stopped working on it due to a number of factors, some of which I have already talked about. I debated continuing this article and posting it, I thought maybe it was outdated. I am convinced that it is even more applicable now than before.

These things we know as fact…

The Federal Reserve, a cabal of private bankers, is destroying the US economy and along with it the economies around the world. And they are doing so intentionally. Ironically, the Federal Reserve has no Constitutional authority to even exist, let alone exert virtual absolute control over the US economy.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proven itself to be anything but that…justice. The DOJ has become a weapon of the federal government…to increase and enforce the tyrannical power of authoritarians inside the federal government. It has become crystal clear through the testimony of Merrick Garland, current US Attorney General, and his minions, that the DOJ will not submit itself to Congressional oversight as required by law. Ironically, neither the Department of Justice or the office of Attorney General is authorized in the US Constitution.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with all other federal law enforcement agencies, have become fully weaponized to enforce the power of a tyrannical federal government at all costs. To act outside of the Bill of Rights, or any other US law structure, is now the lawless norm for these agencies. They have no regard or respect for the rule of law, especially the Bill of Rights. The FBI is an organization of evil, performing heinous acts for those that are their masters. Ironically, no current federal law enforcement agency, including the FBI, is authorized in the US Constitution. Want to see disgusting authoritarians at work, watch FBI Director Wray testify before Congress.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is one of the most monstrous and immoral organizations the world has ever known. It kills at will, overthrows sovereign governments on command, assassinates world leaders at the stroke of a pen, and ruins millions of lives around the globe with impunity. And does so wrapped in the US flag behind the false face of patriotism. Ironically, the CIA is not authorized in the US Constitution.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have allowed 10’s of millions of illegal boarder crossings to take place over the last two decades. This has resulted in the United States of America being flooded with murderers, rapists, drug smugglers, cartel members, human traffickers, sex offenders, thieves, drunks, and child abusers. But of even greater concern…thousands upon thousands of military age middle eastern men…radical Islamic terrorists. Then there are the hundreds of Chinese men of military age as well. In 2006 I was included in briefings as part of my job and I know these facts to be true. Both CBP and ICE work for Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There are only two logical and realistic answers as to why this has happened…complete and total incompetence or it was intentional. When you listen to Alejandro Mayorkas (head of DHS) periodically testify before Congress you then understand it can only be intentional. He has no regard for the Constitution and utter contempt for those trying to exercise their Constitutional authority to oversee DHS.

Ask yourself these two simple questions…Since 2021 350,000 unaccompanied minor children have crossed the border illegally, a huge increase since Biden took office, why? And of those 350,000 children, why are 85,000 ‘lost” and can’t be located by DHS authorities, why? And let me throw one last question the there for good measure, why isn’t the FBI investigating that? What those children have been thrown into should make you cry.

The US Army…simple…there is no Constitutional authority for a standing Army. However, the Constitution does empower CONGRESS to raise an army and fund it, but not for more than two years…in times of dire need. Why no standing army? Because the Founding Fathers saw the extreme dangers of a standing army and the tyranny it always brings. However, they were opposed by those that wished an authoritarian US federal government. Eventually, over time, Congress made law allowing for an all-powerful standing army. Interestingly, the US Constitution does provide for a US Navy…”the Framers [Founding Fathers] viewed a navy as critical to whether the United States would be commercially independent of foreign naval powers, which might otherwise use their control of the seas to dictate terms under which the United States could trade.” Does that interest you at all?

Neither the Executive or Legislative branch of the US government has any intention to operate within a balanced budget at the federal level. Nor do they intend to eliminate (pay off) the national debt. The current national debt exceeds $33,000,000,000,000 (33 trillion dollars). All of which has been acquired in the past 25 years under 2 Democrat and 2 Republican Presidents…and under Congresses controlled by both Democrats and Republicans. If the United States had used every single dollar value of all goods and services produced in the entire nation in 2022 and applied that to the national debt…it would have only paid off 75% of that debt. And not a single person or company in the US would have received a dime of income. Does that bother you?

On September 18th Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary, made it clear she has no concern regarding the US national debt. On September 17th a consortium of economists and monetary leaders labeled the US national debt as “meaningless”, never needing to be paid off, and “very appropriate and desirable.” Congress makes zero effort to even have a balanced budget let alone reduce the national debt. Our current President has been proposing more and more federal programs that will add trillions of additional dollars to the national debt. “National debt” is part of a broader monetary policy called “Modern Monetary Theory”…and it has failed every single time it has been attempted over the last 5,000 years.

As far as the US Congress…politicians in general…tell me when, in the last 125 years, that the US Congress has restored one right, liberty, or freedom that it had previously taken from the citizens of the United States. Exactly! Does that have any meaning for you?

The current President of the United States has clearly and unequivocally identified himself as an authoritarian dictator. On September 1st President Biden stated clearly that Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians…essentially anyone other than radical liberals/Progressives…are now labeled as enemies of the state. In 2021, 2022, and again in 2023 Biden made it clear during speeches that he would use US Air Force F15s and nuclear weapons (meaning the full weight of the US military) against anyone who tried to fight against US federal government tyranny.

The entire US federal government and the entire US political system exists for two things; 1) unfettered quest for wealth, 3) lust for absolute power. But, you probably already know that, don’t you?

What is my point? Well, I could go on and on but it is not needed…you know what is happening in the United States. You also see what is happening in the world today. A person only needs to review the G20 plan that came out of their 2023 meeting in India to see what the world’s elite have planned. And yes, I mean the World Economic Forum (WEF). The WEF has it all planned out on how to implement authoritarianism around the globe by 2030. Personally I think that is a little hopeful and aggressive on their part…but I have been wrong before.

There is no…and I mean NO…politician that is coming to save us or you or your family. There is no white knight galloping to the rescue. No one in government or the political system has any intention or desire to save anything. None of them will restore rights, to bring back lost freedoms, or renew liberties is against the very nature of politicians and especially against the design and plan of all US federal law enforcement agencies. A sound and solid Constitutional Republic is totally contrary to that which the politicians and federal bureaucrats desire. US citizenry has been reduced to little more than serfs within the system…and we’ve allowed that to happen. Hell, we’ve willingly voted for it for 130 years!

We, as individuals and families, are entirely on our own.

But…that clarity gives us enormous hope!

Once we truly and completely accept that no one is coming to save us, then we can begin to actually and honestly take steps to save ourselves. Now, don’t think for a minute that I am removing God from the equation, I am not. He, God, is on our side…He will assist us, lead us as we take those necessary steps to salvage that which is needed. God will work with us as we work to restore and renew that which is needed.

Once we, as individuals and families, have established principles that are in harmony with eternal truths and Constitutional precepts, are then prepared to expand our influence to those around us in a larger sphere. Working in our neighborhoods, our communities, and our congregations we can establish an atmosphere of trust, a belief in actual God-give, Constitutionally guaranteed, rights, liberties, and freedoms.

Why is that important? Because like all empires…the USA Empire is going to fall…and fall hard. If you are not prepared, you will fall with it…along with your family and all those that you hold dear. And yes, the world will fall as well as the USA Empire falls.

All the confusion, division, anarchy, political posturing and intrigue, the economic devastation with inflation, the debt bombs about to detonate, the hate and animosity, and the demonic/Satanic cult of transgenderism, multiple wars…it is all designed to destroy not just society in general, but you as an individual…and destroy your family. You, as well as everyone around you, is being specifically targeted to be destroyed.

This is all intentional, all planned…it is all by design. It is designed to bring people to the point where the populace screams for relief, prays for rescue, demands solutions…and it will be given…rather, forced, by request, to those who are unprepared.

If you don’t get ready soon, very soon, time will have run out and you will be one more desperate zombie in the crowd willing to accept whatever crumbs and chains they will offer you. Unfortunately, your family will go with you into starvation and chains…or worse.

I see only two possible scenarios playing out to save America as a Constitutional Republic; 1) divine intervention, 2) revolution.

I have serious doubts about divine intervention. Why? Because America no longer loves, let alone serves, God. Why would He bless us when we least deserve it? Maybe He will, but I just don’t see that happening. I pray I am wrong.

And as far as revolution to restore the Constitution and depose tyranny…well, I don’t see enough Americans having the guts, the raw courage, the passion, to “…with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

But we, as individuals, as families, as communities, can become outposts of Constitutional principles in harmony with divine and eternal truths. We can save the Constitution within our hearts, our homes, and our communities. But we must do so soon…time is running out.
