My Christmas Story and Message

I wanted to take a few minutes and share a Christmas message with you…4 days before Christmas. I hope you feel the spirit of my message…and follow through these last few days before Christmas.

It has been a wild year, and the year has passed far more quickly than I expected or wished. So many things have happened…it seems the world is on fire and about to collapse, maybe it is and has. But not is all bad, nor is all lost…last Sunday reminded me of that.

My wife and I teach a Sunday School class of teenagers (15 – 16 year olds) twice a month at church since October. Each Sunday has been a good experience, some more good than others. Last Sunday was amazing! But let me set Sunday’s context first…

We were running a little late Sunday morning, so we felt a bit rushed. Also, we had a fair amount of snow earlier that week that hadn’t completely melted off. But it had melted somewhat each day during the day…then froze solid at night. We have a rather long and steep hill of gravel and cinders that is about a mile from our house that we travel to leave our little valley area, the slope faces due north.

Do you see it coming yet?????

As we pulled through the gate of our drive/road I felt the urge to take the back way out…a far easier hill, far less steep, but somewhat longer. But, I ignored that prompting and headed to the normal way out. In 4wd, 1st gear, I was about 75% of the way up the hill when I felt the tires start to spin and our forward progress stopped abruptly. No problem…I would put it in reverse and back down the hill…I’ve done that before. Ah, not this time.

As soon as I had applied the brakes the Explorer began slipping backwards down the hill. Somehow I managed to keep the Explorer on the road…till I couldn’t. We began to slip off the road and a huge Juniper tree loomed large in my rear view mirror. A couple seconds later we came to a gentle stop off the road, no damage to the Explorer, and the Juniper about 5’ from the back of the tailgate. We were safe…albeit stuck after a 150’ slide downhill.

To shorten the story…I walked back to the house, retrieved my truck, returned to the bottom of the hill, walked my wife down the hill, drove to church, and arrived 10mins before our class was to start.

A couple other teachers didn’t show up that day so we had our normal mid-teens plus the 12 – 14 year olds as well…a large class with a bunch of kids we had not had in class before.

It was an AMAZING class on the last 3 books of the Old Testament!!! I mean it! The kids were great, the class went really well, it was just an amazing spirit filled and fun 50 minutes!

We left church on a spiritual high…even with the experience earlier in the morning on the hill. The class proved to be a tender mercy from a loving Heavenly Father to be sure! We even got a text message from a 13-year old’s mother that evening who wanted us to know their child loved the class that day and he had told her so. A blessing on top of a blessing!

So the point of this message is this…

We have had tough times, all of us, and we are going to have more tough times, all of us…but there will be blessings, there will be tender mercies. Many of them, maybe most of them, will come from our children. But those blessings will come! Some of those blessing can also be from us to others.

This Christmas there are people who need us, they need our compassion, they need our love, they may even need our help…please give it. It may be a smile and a heart-felt hello in the next few days…or throughout the next year…give it. If you see a family struggling…help them. If you see a person stressing…help them. If you see a child with conflict…help them.

Just please, please help folks the best you can. Give service, give of yourself, give of your time, give of your substance if you can. I am just asking you to help others. There are a lot of folks who need help of one kind or another in this world right now…please help them in any way you can…in any way you feel prompted to.

Thank you!! I appreciate all you do more than you imagine. I know how tough this world is right now…and I know how bad it is going to get. But I also know there is great hope out there…some of it comes in the form of children…some of it can come from inside you.

Remember the reason for the Christmas season…Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He lived His entire life in service to us…please give even a small part of yourself doing the same…serving others as you feel prompted.

Please bask in the love of Jesus.

Thank you…and Merry Christmas!

Donation for a Battery…? WHAT ?

Yup, a couple folks asked me about the whole hidden “donation” thing. And they wanted to know more about what is was, and why I was doing it. They had found it tucked away hidden at the bottom of the Solar Home Page.

So here is the deal…my plan is to upgrade our solar power system here at the ‘glamstead’ to, as my wife puts it, upgrade our standard of living. Don’t get me wrong, we are doing just fine at this point, we just want to add more capability to power own “grid” that provides power to our place. Yes, meaning we are 100% off-grid when it comes to electricity…we produce and store own electricity via a solar power system.

So here is what the “donation” thing is all about…

Some folks have been very, very kind to me; they have understood the effort, time, and money that I have put into this website over the last 10+ years. A couple people wanted to directly help out financially with our solar system as kind of a way of showing appreciation. And, in their opinion, our fourth battery purchase seemed like the right place where they could help out.

The only major part of the solar power upgrade we have left to buy is the last (fourth) battery. The reason for the fourth battery is pretty simple; 1) we want to be able to store more power to last another day when it is cloudy outside (or during winter months) while we aren’t charging the batteries as fast as we are using the power, 2) we want to be able to run more/different appliances longer into the evening/night when the sun has gone down, 3) we also want to be able to power an RV or camper, or two, should folks show-up when times get tough.

The fourth battery will cost about $4,000 for the battery, shipping, and the wiring to hook it up. These very kind folks wanted to make a cash donation…and they suggested I do a “donation campaign” to raise the rest of the funds so we could get the battery sooner. They thought all the effort I have been putting into the website and the solar information was, could be, would be of value to folks who also appreciated what I do.

I was a little resistant at first, felt kinda like begging, but then I felt I should follow the encouragement of those folks. And it would be a huge blessing to my wife and I since we are now living on a fixed income and $4,000 is a whole lot of money to us. All things being equal, it would be sometime late next year till we had saved the funds to make that large of a purchase.

I want to thank everyone in advance for supporting the website and our efforts…regardless of whether you donate towards the battery purchase or not…thank you! You guys are the absolute best…and I am glad there are folks like you to help others.

Here is the button to do to the donation page…

Third Battery Arrived – Trophy 220E-1

note: This post should have been made 6 days after the initial post regarding the battery purchase, but it was delayed along with the first post.

Well, you know by my last post regarding my quest for a new battery was arduous but I pulled the trigger and bought a third battery for my system upgrade.

If you want to read about our solar power system upgrade you can read about here < click here >

If you want to read about evaluating and choosing the new Trophy Battery you can read about it here < click here >

If you are wondering why I didn’t buy two new batteries to round out the two I already had for a total of four batteries you can read about it at the bottom of the Solar HomePage < click here >

If you remember from the first post in this series about buying a new battery I had the batteries shipped to a friends business, his warehouse. It saved a considerable amount of money avoiding a “residential deliver” and a “tailgate lift fee”.

As soon as I got there I started popping the pallet straps, then I figured it would be good to have a video of what it looked like. Here is the video…

So the batteries (5 total – 3x110Ah, 2x220Ah) were well secured to the pallet, they shipping cases were all in great shape, no apparent damage. Trophy did a great job of designing the shipping cases. They also did a great job on shipping case placement on the pallet and strapping them down really well. And yup, FedEx handled them with care and delivered them a full day ahead of time…despite a snowstorm in the area.

I am thrilled so far…more evaluation to come!

Ordered My Third Battery !

note: this post was written on December 6th, posting was delayed for a number of reasons. As promised before, I am posting about my experience with Trophy Battery…and purchasing the third battery in a bank of 4 batteries. The fourth battery will have to wait awhile…we just don’t have the money for it just yet, the third one was expensive enough. Bummer! As I mentioned before, I researched a lot of battery options…watched numerous videos, read a ton of reviews, spoke to more than one manufacturer directly, and I even talked with a 20-year veteran of the solar business for advice. I looked at everything I could find about the different companies and their batteries. One thing was paramount…internal Battery Management System (BMS); and I wanted steel case, rack mount batteries from the very beginning. Oh, and no off-the-wall stuff like golf cart batteries. I looked into, researched, evaluated the following batteries:
  • EG4 LiFePOWER4
  • SOK
  • Jakiper
  • Ampere Time
I eliminated right away the following batteries:
  • FNS / Sacred Sun due to my prior experience with them.
  • Storz due to their high price tag.
  • Victron due to their high price tag.
Eventually I settled on Trophy Battery, the 220Ah beast to be exact. Their build was top notch, their capacity and voltages most closely matched my existing two batteries. I like the way they were designed, especially the built-in high current DC 175amp circuit breaker. I liked what I saw at every turn, more than any other battery or battery provider. Done…I would buy the Trophy Battery model 48V220C-1 48/51.2v, 220Ah. I talked with a neighbor/friend who is also a DIY solar guy to get his opinion and he thought the batteries were awesome. He wanted to order as well after we had talked for about an hour. And I am helping out a close friend and his wife who are kinda stuck in their DIY solar journey, I agreed to help them out and build their system, they needed batteries as well. Their situation wasn’t all that unusual, their system would be in an unheated Conex container. Ahhhhhhh, Trophy batteries have built-in heaters to keep them functional (i.e. charging) at below freezing temperatures. They were in as well…they wanted model 48V110C-1 48/51.2v, 110Ah…3 of them. At Trophy I spoke with Dan, the owner multiple times before placing the order. He was great and easy to work with and answered all my questions. I collected the money from the other two folks and placed the order. We did it together to save on shipping. Placing the order with Trophy was not without a minor issue. Their website locked my account and the cart would not function. Turned out to be a blessing…I placed the order directly with Dan and was pleased. The batteries shipped the next day and are due for delivery in less than a week…1 week after the order was placed. They are coming FedEx freight to a friend’s business to help save money. It saves money to have them delivered to a business vs a residence. I received multiple emails from Trophy keeping me advised of the order/shipping process. Some of the features I think are important to note:
  • 16 x EVE Power 230Ah cells
  • Heaters for charging in cold weather
  • Sophisticated programmable 200amp Battery Management System (BMS)
  • Soft start, automatic pre-charge of inverter capacitors to prevent damage
  • High current DC built-in circuit breaker
  • Front display screen for BMS
  • US based 24/7 support
  • 10-year non-prorated warranty
  • An owner’s manual…in ENGLISH!!
That is a 220Ah, 11.3watt battery for $3595.00! That comes out to 32cents per watt. Compared to many popular comparative 100Ah batteries at 34cents per watt…but the cheaper battery comes without the heaters, without the 200amp BMS,and without the internal high current DC circuit breaker! And it would take two of the 100Ah batteries and it would still fall short by 10% of the overall Ah rating…with less features. So far I am thrilled! I will keep you advised. < click here to ope a PDF file with Trophy Battery – 220E Battery Info >

Our Solar System Upgrade

There seemed to be a bunch of interest in the solar stuff I have been posting. And, I decided a couple months ago to upgrade our system. Seems like a perfect time to share more solar info, add to the solar book I am writing, and use it to double check what I am doing. I hope you get something out of it. And as always…ask questions, make comments, add suggestions, and do helpful critiques as you wish 🙂

Existing System –
  • 3.8Kw of solar panels (2 arrays of 1.5Kw, 1 array of 800w)
  • 1 x Victron Smart Solar MPPT 150/70 charge controller
  • 1 x Victron Quattro 48vDC/5000w/120vAC/70a inverter/charger
  • 1 x Victron Smart Shunt with BMV-712 Smart connected to a Victron Color Control GX
  • 2 x 202Ah LifePo4 batteries in parallel
  • On the usable house AC side we get 120vAC at approximately 41a
  • Our average power usage per day is 11.3kWh (last 12 months of history)
  • < click here to open the PDF file showing our current solar system >
Drawbacks to the Existing System –
  • We used our generator 3 days out of the last year due to low battery, approximately 40kWh.
  • We had the inverter cut out due to over discharge (drawing too much power) twice, once in June, once in July. Yup, we were using the AC’s at the time.
  • We have used two inverter style air conditioners for two summers and love them. But, we can’t run them past 10pm without risk of running the batteries too low. Fortunately, there aren’t too many nights that much AC is needed.
  • On cloudy days, or when the batteries start the day low, it is difficult to charge the batteries 100%.
  • This past year we experimented with using electric baseboard heaters during mildly cold days and evenings. They work fine, really nice. But, we can’t run more than 3 on at low settings, or two on high setting, without risking shutting down the inverter due to over discharge (drawing too much power) if/when we turn on something like the air fryer.
Proposed Upgrade to System –
  • Increase to 5.9Kw of solar panels (2 arrays of 2.235Kw, 1 array of 1.47Kw), 58% increase in power generation.
  • Add a second Victron Smart Solar MPPT 150/70 charge controller, 100% increase in potential PV to battery power generation. It will also balance the charging of the incoming solar panel power avoiding overloading a single MPPT system.
  • Add a second Victron Quattro 48vDC/5000w/120vAC/70a inverter/charger resulting in a doubling of available AC power, 100% increase. Giving us 10Kw/240vAC @ 82amps.
  • Add 2 x 220Ah LifePo4 batteries into existing battery bank, increasing our energy storage by 107%.

As a side-effect to the upgrade I will be “cleaning up” the wire layout, increasing the size of wire at strategic wiring points, improving the fusing and circuit breaker systems, and replacing important Tier 2 equipment with Tier 1 equipment. And for a major safety upgrade I will be putting up cement board (fire resistant) behind all the equipment vs the particle board I have now.

I will be posting as I go to show the “before”, what is planed for the “after”…and then what actually gets installed. Of course I will be glad to respond to any input or questions along the way.

I came to my senses…maybe.

Yesterday morning I was ready to post a great article (aren’t they all great!) concerning the nearly $14trillion drop in US household wealth so far in 2022. I tied it back to the increased use of credit cards to pay monthly bills, the historic drop in US household savings rate, and that 60% of US households have burned through their entire savings paying monthly bills. It painted a pretty pathetic doom & gloom picture.

But I couldn’t find the document with the article that I would move into the website software…I spent an hour looking for it…no luck, it was gone. So after pouting for a while I just didn’t post anything…and went to work getting the batteries for the folks I am helping with their solar systems. That was immensely satisfying!

So throughout the day I kept having this nagging feeling…nibbling at me all day…really doing a number on me mentally and spiritually. And that is the point of this post…or rather the outcome of all that mental and spiritual gymnastics is the point of the post. But let me explain a few more things first…the context of all of this.

My original goals for the website were four-fold –

1 – When I started the website originally (8 years or so ago) it was based on two things; 1) the website I was participating in at the time started to go sideways in many aspects, turning ugly at times, delving into the weird and nonspiritual, 2) a huge number of emergency preparedness “experts” that were completely incompetent, untrained, and ill suited who were providing seriously bogus information to unsuspecting people.

2 – I also wanted to do a “brain dump” of 40+ years of prepping experience and professional emergency management experience to help people. Yes, relay to folks what I learned from my training…but mostly what I learned from what works and what doesn’t work based on my own experience in the field on actual incidents.

3 – I wanted to test, assess, and evaluate equipment, gear, concepts, and processes in the real-world to help folks avoid following bad advice that was more than just abundant in the prepper “expert” website world.

4 – And I wanted to try and provide a more spiritual environment from from the ugliness that I saw in other prepper websites, especially the ones that claimed to be Christian oriented, but weren’t in practice.

Yesterday I was checking the website for “stats”, comments, and emails…as I try and do throughout the day. I try to keep up on what is happening on the site, answer questions, and respond to comments. For quite a while I have kept noticing the most consistently viewed and downloaded files are the ones related to Baofeng radios. And those files and posts are some of the oldest on the site. Those were posted at a time when I was focused on getting communications capability out to the prepper world…and it appears I still am.

As I was working on the detailed drawings and parts list for my upcoming solar system upgrade I did a little general current events research as well…and it all sucked!

This morning when I woke up I knew what to do…and that is where I am headed with this. My thought was simple…Who in the hell wants to hear what I have to say about the current state of the world?

Don’t get me wrong…I have some clear and strong opinions on the world and what is happening. And you should have a pretty clear idea of all that by now. So why in the world would I want to keep posting my opinions and supporting info every week? Seriously, if you come to this site you have your own opinion(s) about the state of everything. Why would I want to change or influence your opinion? What would that accomplish?

Bingo!

So I am going back to the roots of this website…my original four goals. Kinda like back to basics thing/effort.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I will take the opportunity from time-to-time to share things/events that I feel are important. Maybe in the form of a SitRep, maybe in the form of “head explosion”, maybe just an article. And I will continue to do the “Feedback & Comments” and “FAQ” posts when appropriate.

My interest right now is solar power. And a few months ago I was pondering a number of things that had been troubling me. The I received a clear prompting that I needed to help folks who were struggling with their solar systems…and do it for free. What!? Yup, I felt that if I helped folks get their system fixed, corrected, or finished I would be blessed. OK…fine…now what?

Within a week we were visiting with some new friends at our house. They saw our solar system and asked if I could help them with theirs. They had bought some equipment from a huckster but that was it…the project died. I agreed to help them. A couple of weeks later a person had seen a neighbor’s system that I had installed…he asked if I would help him with his upgrade. I agreed. Last week at our church Christmas dinner an older lady came up to me and said she heard I helped people with their solar…and asked for help. They too had bought some equipment from a huckster but that was it…the project died. 

Now, the blessing part…for about 6 months I have been feeling the need to increase our power production and storage…but equipment, especially lithium batteries, are pretty expensive and we didn’t have any extra money laying around. Well, last summer a local solar company owned by a friend asked if I would be willing to take on a project at his company regarding logistics and organization. I agreed and in return bartered for all the equipment I needed for the power production upgrade. Then just before Thanksgiving he asked me to handle a project for his equipment yard and off-site storage facility. I agreed and the money from that will just about cover one of two batteries I need to add to the system. So…the prompting was real!! Following promptings like that work…if they are from the right source.

In the coming weeks, maybe months, I will be concentrating on providing information on solar power systems.

Before I close this post I want to share a couple things from my heart:

» The world has turned perverted with things such as drag queens performing for young children, abortions/killings of babies, and medical professionals (i.e. doctors) performing sexual mutilations on children.

» The federal law enforcement agencies are 100% corrupted and must be stopped (within Constitutional bounds) before they begin to look entirely like 1930’s Nazi Germany, 1920’s Communist Soviet Union, or present day Communist China.

» Social media, main stream media, and big-tech companies are simply extensions of the US federal government doing their fascist and authoritarian bidding, especially spying and influencing.

» The economy, US and world, is in dire straights beyond that which any single person can completely comprehend. There are forces at work that have a single intent…elevate the rich elites to am unassailable position of control and authority while turning everyone else into nothings more than serfs…while killing off as much of the world’s population they can along the way.

» The world is full of fake, fraudulent, and counterfeit “experts” that will lead you astray in every possible aspect of life. So beware…and the only thing/person that can prevent you from being led astray is you…and that includes that still small voice that can, and will, guide you…if you allow it.

» Both political parties, virtually 100% of all politicians, virtually all government employees…are corrupt, especially as it applies to rights, liberties, and freedoms. As you look at them and their actions they are interested in only two things; 1) power, 2) money. And gaining as much of both as possible…at your expense.

» There is no violence-based answer to solving the problems in the world today…NONE! Yes, you can defend yourself and you must defend your family. But, the larger problems, the real problems, the ones that will crush humanity can only be saved through one source, through one avenue, through one process…turning to God and His son Jesus Christ…then following them the best you possibly can.

Folks…please, please prepare everything you need to be self-reliant in every aspect of your life; 1) physically, 2) mentally, 3) and spiritually. The most important being spiritual preparedness, spiritual self-reliance.

Remember what you can change, where you have influence:

  • Yourself
  • Your family
  • Your neighborhood
  • Your congregation
  • Your community

I can honestly say this…I love you guys…I really do. I would love nothing more than for all of you to come to the glamstead, with burgers on the grill and plates full of food while we enjoy each other’s company on the green lawn enjoying a fresh spring day. Maybe one day…

Trump called for what??

Well, time to be objective and honest in what we believe, in our core values…are you ready? We are talking about Trump. And yes, we are talking about his written comment on Truth Social regarding the Constitution. And yes, I am bringing it up. And of course I want to explore the concept of “principles vs politics”…if you are ready. And yes, this is over a week old issue; I’ve purposely waited on commenting/asking for 9 days to see how this played out and if there was a meaningful or substantive follow-up by Trump or his team. So first thing we have to ask ourselves what exactly did Trump write/post. You have to ignore headlines because they tend to be “click bait” regardless of the media format. And 60% of the headlines that I reviewed were wrong in what was actually said by Trump. Oddly, they were wrong slightly favoring Trump. I find that interesting. To be honest in this situation we have to go to his exact words…specifically what Trump said…not what someone else says Trump said. So here are the words that Trump wrote on December 3rd, 2022…

So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

This is the actual screen print for reference… The key part in question…

“…allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

Continuing to boil this down we have to ignore everything but what he actually said…forget the controversy, real or fake, that is the context…namely a fraudulent election.

The crux of the matter is simple…Do we want someone in the political arena, and potentially a President, advocating for the termination of all of the parts of the Constitution? Yes, that is the question at hand. And yes Trump called for ALL of the Constitution. Read his words again…

“…allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

Those are Trumps words…not any interpretation of anything…not an opinion of what he said…not anything but his exact words. So, I go back and ask again it again slightly differently…”Do we want to support, or defend, a politician that calls for the termination of the Constitution?”

Take his words as he said them…don’t try and justify, don’t try and explain, don’t try to reword, don’t try to do anything but believe what he said…it was simple, plain, direct, and exactly what he said.

For me…I support the Constitution 100% and I don’t support anyone who doesn’t support the Constitution…especially politicians.

Now, let’s add back in “context” to give this issue a fair hearing…

Trump raised the question of the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election…rightfully so. I am not qualified to provide a competent judiciary-based decision on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election. I can provide an opinion, but it is only my opinion, nothing more. Now, I can say that factually no court found that the 2020 Presidential election was either fraudulent or illegitimate…not a single court, not anywhere. So for fact-based, evidence-based, conversation I say it is only right that we go with that.

Again, based on the above paragraph, was Trump justified in his call for termination of the Constitution? For me the answer is an easy one.

Now, let’s take another path on this discussion…let’s say that the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent. Would Trump be justified in his call for termination of the Constitution? For me the answer again is an easy one.

For me I have to review what I hold in the highest regard…the Constitution vs do I value politics over principles.

If the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent and had been found to be so in a court…then it is up to the court to decide what to do about it. And ultimately it would have ended up in the Supreme Court for a decision. And there is precedent for that. In December of 2000 the Supreme Court, Bush v. Gore, ruled (5-4) that Bush won the Florida election and awarded the state’s electoral votes to Bush. So there exists the ability for the US legal system to deal with Presidential election issues. The key here being…the US legal system. And since the Supreme Court was heavily slanted to Republicans in 2020 there would be little doubt as to it fairness.

So now, two years into Biden’s reign, let’s say that it is clear that the 2020 Presidential election was found to be fraudulent…what is the correct course of action? According to the Constitution there is no clear option on how to deal with it. However, there exists a clear path on how ALL legal issues are to be handled…due process through the US legal system. Hence, if Trump wants to pursue his claim through a cause of action he should take it to the courts…and then the court(s) deal with it…up to and including the US Supreme Court. Then the court(s) can make a determination on what to do about it legally.

In my opinion…the absolute wrong way to handle it is to terminate the Constitution…or even call for that to occur. That flies in the face of our Founding Fathers, it denigrates their entire effort of providing a Constitution given to us to legally guide and direct the affairs of the United States. If we would allow one President, rather former President, to somehow terminate the Constitution…then what are we left with? We are left with the same situation that the American Colonies found themselves in 250 years ago…the tyranny of a King.

For me…I will value principles over politics…I will value the Constitution over an individual’s desire or their edict. And I will not support anyone who calls for the termination of the Constitution…PERIOD!

And just a little food for thought…If the American people in general, as a whole, thought the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent, that Biden was an illegitimate President, and they wanted to do something about it…then why did Republicans lose seats in the Senate and barely, just barely, take control of the House, and lose Governorships?

And then ask yourself…If the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent in any significant way, then why didn’t at least one court at some level somewhere rule so…and thereby start it elevating to the Supreme Court?

FWIW…I 100% feel that the 2020 Presidential election was tampered with, interfered with, maybe worse. And how so? At the hands of the FBI and Department of Justice. If you want to place blame, if you want action taken, if you want things corrected…then look at the real perpetrators of the real problem with the 2020 Presidential election. Yes, the ones who are really destroying the Constitution and driving this country out of existence as a Constitutional Republic…they should be held accountable.

Please, please, figure out your core beliefs, what exactly your unshakable principles are…and then make the decision to stick with them no matter what.

Principles over politics.

Personal note: For those of you that want to lash out with cries of “Never Trumper”…shut up. If you want o call me a “Trump Hater”…shut up. I voted for Trump twice, albeit holding my nose. If you are wanting to deride me…try checking your attitude and looking at your values, beliefs, and principles.

Conversation with Ron…EXCELLENT !

Back on 12/6, just mere days ago, I posted something that I had been sent from someone else: ”Seems there is a little frustration…” It was a fairly interesting read but the point was that the person was very frustrated with what they were seeing in the country, who was to blame, and challenging people to post their words for more folks to see. I jumped on the bandwagon because I thought it was worth sending out for one and all to read…and forward to others.

And let me be clear…there is tremendous frustration in America today among those who love the Constitution, who love rights, freedoms and liberties…and who are sick and tired our government turning tyrannical, our politicians betraying us and the Constitution…and fed up with this dumb-ass “woke” crap like weird, creepy, and degenerate drag queens trying to pervert our children. And that frustration and anger is beginning to boil over.

In response to that post of mine Ron replied, made a comment. Now, I personally never had heard from Ron before that I remember, and I personally don’t know who Ron is. And let me tell you, he started out his comment 100% correctly and very intelligently, “I agree with everything you said…” Come on, how much better could he get!?

Well, let me just post his comment/reply here for you to read for yourself…

I agree with everything you said and with your comment THINGS NEED TO CHANGE!

Now I have a question for you: What are YOU going to do to change things?

We know the soap box doesn’t work. We also know the ballot box doesn’t work. The final option is the cartridge box, and we know THAT isn’t going to work. That is one of the reasons (they) are doing what they are doing, to get us to START something, so they can come down on us like a ton of bricks.

I could have written this letter a long time ago, but I didn’t, because without some kind of solution, you’re just complaining. I don’t have a solution either. No, that is wrong, I do have a solution, for ME. I just keep increasing my stored food supply. I keep practicing with my ham radio. I keep working towards becoming self sufficient in power and water supply. I keep trying to get others to see what is happening and to prepare their own family for what is coming. I keep my head down and work at being that gray man.

I hope by writing your letter you got it off your chest. I hope you are preparing for the fact that things “are” going to change, but it will NOT be for the better. It is going to get MUCH worse, before is gets better. Now go back to being that gray man. Stop worrying about things you absolutely cannot change. Enjoy the good things in your life that bring you pleasure, spend time with family and make good memories with them. You CANNOT fix the world, you can only fix you. Don’t let what is going on in the world, make you depressed or bitter. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Live life……. ”

I couldn’t really find fault with anything he was saying. He was really spot on with a number of points:

  • We know the soap box doesn’t work.
  • We also know the ballot box doesn’t work.
  • The final option is the cartridge box, and we know THAT isn’t going to work.
  • That [the cartridge box] is one of the reasons (they) are doing what they are doing, to get us to START something, so they can come down on us like a ton of bricks.

Now, I honestly didn’t think Ron was directing his comment to me personally…at least I didn’t think so. But, when I feel I am challenged, especially on the website, I feel an urge to respond…if nothing else, simply for clarification. There were a few points he made that I felt maybe challenged me just a bit:

  • What are YOU going to do to change things
  • I hope by writing your letter you got it off your chest.
  • I hope you are preparing…
  • Now go back to being that gray man.
  • Stop worrying about things you absolutely cannot change.
  • Enjoy the good things in your life that bring you pleasure, spend time with family and make good memories with them.
  • You CANNOT fix the world, you can only fix you.
  • Don’t let what is going on in the world, make you depressed or bitter.
  • Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Why did I feel challenged? My immense insecurity, my extremely low self-esteem, my copious amount of anxiety, my…wait a second…

Okay, so maybe “challenged” isn’t the right word…more like threatened. Okay, not that either 😉

I just wanted to respond in case, on the outside chance, he was referring to me…but I didn’t think he actually was because anyone reading my posts/articles for any length of time would know what I am doing personally and what I advocate to do. So, I responded with this…

Ron,
I am not sure if you are writing your reply to me or to a generic “you”…and that makes a big difference in my reply.

I will take the easy one first…the generic “you”…that is up to each individual how they deal with it and I am fine with it. Also, I don’t mind if people voice their opinion even if it is whining or just complaining. Maybe if they hear themselves enough then they might finally be motivated to do something about it.

Now, if you were referring to me personally as “you” then all you need to do is read my articles for the past 7 years that this site has been up and running. I have explained what I am doing and made suggestions to folks on what they night do as well.

And now time to disagree with you just a little due to my differing perspective…

I know the soapbox works because I get feedback from my site visitors. Some have changed a little, some dramatically. And they attribute some portion of that change to something they read on my site. So I keep on.

The ballot box does still work to a degree. The Republicans did take back the House and have promised action. Let’s give them a chance to see what they will do. Is the ballot box perfect? No. Is there corruption in the ballot box? Yes. And according to the Constitution it is the best option for change…or restoration.

And I do agree that the cartridge box will not work in the sense that the price would be terrible… and I don’t think the outcome would be like 1700’s…more like the 1800’s. And yes! They are trying to bait us.

Also, let me remind you…the first sentence of the post…”This was sent to me. I have no idea who wrote it. But it is powerful in that you can sense the frustration of this person. ”

And you are spot on…it has to start with the individual person doing the best they can, then spread that to the family…then maybe outward locally from there.

Hope this helps clear things up a bit,
AH”

Did I show restraint or what! In my old days I would have flamed Ron. But, Ron seemed like a decent guy and I liked all the time and effort he put into his post. Yup! I like to hear back from folks…makes me feel like people are reading, thinking, and willing to engage…and that is priceless! And I was hoping Ron would respond in our virtual conversation…and he did. His response…

Sorry, AH, I didn’t make myself clear. I was NOT writing back to you.

I read your site religiously every time there is a new post comes out. First thing I read. In fact you are the one that helped me get past the feeling that things are hopeless and there is nothing we can do. You always say, or at least imply that’ “you can’t fix the world, but you can fix you”.

As far as the cartridge box is concerned, I myself know we can’t shoot our way out of this, but I do store ammunition and components to make my own, and I do believe we will need to use them in the future. As for giving the Republicans a chance, I will give them their chance, not because they will do something with it, but because that’s how things work, but they have proven over and over and over that they will do whatever the Democrats tell them to do. They cave in “every” time.

The only bright spot I could see in this past election was in Wyoming where the people threw Liz Chaney out, but when looking at the full picture, Liz Chaney was/is a sideshow. I await to see what the people of Utah do with Mitt Romney. Personally, I think they will re-elect him. If the Republicans in that state hadn’t changed their own laws so he could buy his way into that seat, I would have a little more hope for them, but the people are too in love with the “BIG NAME Mormon Republican” to see what he is doing to them. After all they kept electing Orren Hatch time after time. He was a RINO in sheepskin.

I have moved from Utah to Oregon, and Oregon has it’s own set of problems. Everyone considers Oregon to be a “liberal” stronghold, but it’s not. Portland is a liberal stronghold, and a couple of the larger cities are, but the vast majority of the rest of the state are conservative. That tells me that the people that live in Portland are stupid people. They have voted the downfall of their city into office and keep them there, and seem to like it.

My response to your post was to everyone who complains that “things are getting so bad I just want to scream”, but are doing nothing to prepare for what they know is coming. I realize that most of the posts I reply to, look like I am pointing them at you, for that I apologize. Your site is literally the only place on the internet that I visit, where my ideas will get viewed, so it is the only place that I actually reply to, and it is to try and reinforce what you teach. YOU ROCK!! Ron”

Now come on…we could sum it all up with his final comment…yup, I rock! Nicely, and accurately said Ron 🙂

Okay, seriously, did you read Ron’s reply? This man knows how to think, how to reason, and how to engage…and I love him for it! This is the kind of person we need on our side…we need to find more Ron’s and bring them into our circle of trusted friends and battle-buddies. All of his points are good and deserved to be read…but here are some of the points he made that are great…please read them and ponder:

  • you can’t fix the world, but you can fix you
  • They [Republicans] cave in every time
  • the people [in Utah] are too in love with the “BIG NAME Mormon Republican”
  • My response to your post was to everyone who complains that “things are getting so bad I just want to scream”, but are doing nothing to prepare for what they know is coming.

And he brought out something that a lot of folks might not know…all of Oregon is not flaming, out-of-control, insane liberal like Portland. Eastern Oregon is actually pretty dang conservative. Yup, working and country folk live out there in eastern Oregon, just like eastern Washington. And ironically enough…those are some of the most active areas that want to secede from their dumb-as-a-rock crazy Progressive state-mates.

It was great to hear from Ron, not just to clear up any misunderstanding, but to hear what he has to say…to get to know him a bit better. There are whole lot of “Ron’s” out there…heck, most of the people who will read this post are another “Ron”…regardless of their first name.

And let me wrap this up with a very strong suggestion…link up with “Ron’s” as soon as you can…we are all going to need folks like that. I am serious, very serious…go find them and create a bond that will help you deal with the “here & now”…but mostly…for what is coming.

SitRep – 12/07/2022 (part #2)

This is a continuation of yesterday’s SitRep. I am trying to break the longer articles into 2 or more posts to make them less demanding on your time. If you haven’t read yesterday’s it would really help if you did…makes this post more understandable.

< click here to read yesterday’s article – Part #1 >

A reminder that this 2-part article comes from research I did over last weekend, wrote it on Monday but held up posting it till yesterday (Wednesday) for a very specific reason. And finally, I added a few more notes to this post this morning based on some overnight research that brought some applicable issues to my attention.

Now…on with the post…

The Economy –

Use the preface “World”, “Global”, “EU”, or “US”…I don’t much care. We all know what all the economic indicators are looking like. But Market Watch released an article on Friday with the headline “High debts and stagflation have set the stage for the mother of all financial crises.” Now, doesn’t that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy? My thing is this…who is prepared, who is preparing, who hasn’t prepared, and who this will hit the hardest? Oh, and how will it play out with each group? Oh, and which group are you in? And how will the other groups affect you and your family?

Added on 12/8: Remember “derivatives” from the 2008 financial crisis? Less than 10 years before that global financial crisis there were about $88trillion in derivatives around the world. Then collapse when it hit approximately $600trillion. After the crisis correction derivative holds shrank to almost non-existence. US banks now hold about $250trillion in derivatives, unsettling to see. However, there is a more serious problem…US dollar derivative de-guaranteed contracts held overseas…and it amounts to about $65trillion. Why should this worry you? Those de-guaranteed contracts are for US currency, held overseas, unregulated, and the holders of those contracts are unknown since it is outside of US banking regulation jurisdiction. So why are those contracts overseas? Who has control of them? What are their intentions? Why don’t we know who they are? Why are they “de-guaranteed”? Most of all, what happens if the derivative market collapses once again considering that $65trillion is in the US currency market?

Added on 12/8: Earlier in the week Nouriel Roubini, top market/economy watcher/advisor, warned:

  • “the global economy is headed for an unavoidable crash”,
  • “the mother of all stagflationary debt crises’ is coming”,
  • “a crisis that the Fed and other policymakers will be powerless to prevent”,
  • “there will be a hard landing — a deep, protracted recession — on top of a severe financial crisis”,

Roubini issued numerous warnings prior to the 2008 collapse.

Added on 12/8: In the early morning hours of 12/8 and article appeared wherein Blackrock, world’s largest investment house / money manager, said the following:

  • “The global economy has entered a period of elevated volatility, and previous investing approaches won’t work anymore…what worked in the past won’t work now.”
  • “A recession is imminent but central banks won’t be able to support markets this time by loosening policy.”
  • “Recession is foretold as central banks race to try to tame inflation. It’s the opposite of past recessions…it will ignite more market turbulence than ever before.”
Law Enforcement –

I’ve written about this general topic extensively, and you should probably know my position by now. But the one thing that worries me the most is when LEO’s say things such as, “I don’t make the laws, I just enforce them.” Bullshit! LEO’s aren’t robots, they aren’t required to enforce illegal, immoral, unethical, or unconstitutional laws, edicts, regulations, policies, or directives…or even Executive Orders.

Denver, Colorado Police Department ordered a SWAT raid on a home containing stolen goods. Problem!!! They didn’t do any investigation, no confirmation, no interviews, NO NOTHING!

Based on the word of one dipwad detective the SWAT raid was ordered, and that order “lacked probable cause that evidence of crime could be found” at the home, since it was based on an unverified and vague ping by Apple’s “Find My” app, which is used to track Apple devices. No other investigation was performed…NONE! And who did this affect? An aged grandmother living in the home alone. The house was raided by a full militarized SWAT team with an attack K9 dog. The house was trashed, battering ram used, collectibles destroyed, while the grandmother sat handcuffed and terrified in a police car. And nope, nothing was found, not a single item that was stolen, and it was later figured out that the lost iPhone ling was in error. But that didn’t stop the Gestapo SWAT raid on an innocent grandmother. So why didn’t the commander of the SWAT team, or any SWAT team member, question or at least verify the order? Come on…you know why…this was a great opportunity to play soldier and enforce a “comply or die” mentality!

Then there was the Austin, Texas man who came home at night and thought his house had been broken into. As any normal, self-reliant person would do, he retrieved his rifle and began to clear his house…especially since he lived in a high crime area where police are slow to respond. He thought he saw a badguy in his house and fired a round after clearing the background. Well, a neighbor saw and heard him…and called police. The police showed up and saw the homeowner standing on the porch holding a rifle. He was in a low-ready position, not pointing the weapon at anyone, not appearing to be menacing. So this dipwad cop, rather than try to figure out what is happening and who this guy is, simply yells “drop the gun” while pointing his own rifle at the homeowner who is on his owner property, protecting his own property.

Now, at this point you could almost understand the cop yelling to drop the gun…I get that. But, here is the problem…as he yells at the man to drop the gun…he shoots the man dead. Yup, he is giving the man the order at while simultaneously killing him. Ah, excuse me…that is murder. See, here is the problem…the cop! The cop rolls up on this guy knowing nothing at all about what is really happening. Then he shouts an order while both of their adrenaline is sky high. Now, let’s say the cop hadn’t shot and killed the guy while issuing the order…the homeowner would more than likely turned in the direction of the cop to see what was happening…and the cop would have killed him anyways since it would have been a move by the homeowner that the cop would have stated was endangering his life by “aggressively” turning/moving in his direction. So the homeowner was dead either way by a killer cop. Oh, and please don’t challenge the factual events/actions…it was all caught on bodycam of the killer cop and released.

Then there is the criminal mastermind, mass murderer, Martha Louis Menefield from Valley, Alabama. She was arrested by local police in a raid on her home executing a warrant for her arrest. Yeah, Martha, the criminal that she is was arrested cuffed, taken to jail, and put into a “cage” to protect all the decent people in Valley, Alabama society. See, 82-year old Martha was guilty of not paying her trash bill of $77.88.

Yeah, you read that right! The local police chief stated they were only doing their job...and treated her with respect. What? Raided her house, cuffed her, put her in a police care, booked her, put her in a “cage” and that somehow qualifies as “respect”????? And they did that for $77.88???? I guess they really have their job down pat!

This is exactly what I am telling you…the law enforcement in this country struggles on its best days…and kill a lot of people along the way. And LEOs want to understand why people not only don’t respect them hardly any more, some folks outright hate cops…well, I would suggest they look in the mirror first.

And why is this so important to me? Because I think about what stance the LEOs will take when it all falls apart in a grid-down. Based on what I am seeing ALL of the LEO’s will back tyranny and oppression. There will be some Peace Officers and Police Officers that will back the Constitution and US citizens…but they will be far and few between.

Rail Strike –

Well, Congress approved forcing the rail workers to accept a contract that forces them back to work under penalty of law. Interesting…the government having that kind power and authority pretty much fits the definition of fascism. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued Congress shouldn’t have been involved “shouldn’t be dictating our will” and the government shouldn’t “usurp” the power of workers and companies to resolve their own problems. Amen! If the government can force railway companies and their employees to work under whatever conditions that the government wants…then why not you and the company that you work for? Welcome to the USSA!!

Joe Pervert Biden –

Joe “Adolf” Biden last week condemned Hitler as a “demonic figure”. Well, that’s interesting considering his speech back in September when his event was patterned after and stage exactly as Hitler would have done back in the 1930’s. And Biden’s actions as President appear to be far more aligned with a fascist regime such as Hitler’s than a Constitutional Republic.

And to strengthen the “fascist regime” comparison, Herr Biden signed the Congressional action forcing railway companies and their employees into a contract that had been rejected. So that action is really aligned with a fascist dictator not the President of a Constitutional Republic.

And then you now have multiple State Treasurers coming out vocally against Adolf Biden’s recent decision to remove rules by his regime’s Labor Department. And the rules removed? Ah yes, now retirement plans encourage investments according to ESG rules. And remember it is ESG…wait, did you read the section about the WEF?

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the first White House state dinner of President Joe Biden’s regime last week. Yup, over 300 guests joined Biden (although he probably doesn’t remember) from fashion, entertainment, politics, and business. There was plenty of women’s gowns from Oscar de la Renta and jewelry from by Louis Vuitton. And special mention to House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California who was there and buddy-buddy with Biden. Oh, another special mention to another attendee…Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros and deputy chair of Soros’ Open Society.

On the menu was basic fare for any normal, average American family…butter-poached Maine lobster, beef with shallot marmalade, and then for dessert was orange chiffon cake with roasted pears and crème fraiche ice cream. And let’s not forget bottles of white wine by the case for all the drinking. Isn’t it nice of the Biden Regime to spend millions on a state dinner for the creme of the socialist crop in society eating wonderful food that most American have never, and will never, taste in their entire life because they can’ afford it. And think about how considerate it is of all these great authoritarians to partake of all that scrumptious food…while food inflation is hitting the average American so hard…and forcing some Americans to go without! Such a wonderful bunch of folks in Washington…kinda like the royalty in England at the time of the American Revolution don’t you think? Isn’t it just wonderful that Creepy Joe spends millions of dollars on a dinner for 300 elites…while many military personnel have to rely on food stamps to feed their families!

And let me conclude with this…and I am sure it will surprise you. We are all aware of all the talk and written articles of civil war…but, did you read the article on Friday, “Secession movements gain traction in US amid deepening political rifts”? Yup, it was a fact filled article speaking to the number of counties within blue states (i.e. socialist states) that are trying to secede from those states. It differs, but some counties want to form a new state after secession, others want to join more conservative neighboring states. But, here is my question…Does anyone really not understand why folks would want to do that? Seriously, in this country run by horrible, authoritarian, elites…is there any wonder why people would want out of the Communism and join together in a somewhat more traditionally Constitutional environment?

Folks…get your shit together! It is falling apart so fast that who knows what it will look like tomorrow morning or a week from now. But we know what evil looks like today, just look around at those in power…look at Washington D.C. So if it is this bad today, think about how bad it will get. I am telling you now, and have been telling your for years…get prepared. If you don’t, it will roll over you and crush you and your family.

PREPARE!

SitRep – 12/07/2022 (part #1)

Last week was a huge brain dumb from me to you…some of things frustrated me to the point where my head wanted to explode, some just made me very concerned about where we are headed as a country and as a world. And I am telling you, some of the stuff is truly troubling that we see in the world today. I am sure all of you, and I, wonder how long the system can stay functioning…as we know it.


To get up to speed, or review lats week, read these:

When I do research, then produce a post, I almost always do some “sustaining research” looking for evidence that what I previously posted is accurate and most of all true. Consider it my own “trust, but verify” process. I do that to try and make the info I provide as applicable, accurate, and valid as I possibly can. I did some more research over the weekend to that end. Dang it!

note: I wrote this Monday, posting it today.

Here’s what I am seeing…

Food, Farmers, Starvation, Environmentalism –

I have been telling you that environmentalists are the bad guys, they want to starve people, they are not our friends…and they are at it again…along with the world’s elites. A week ago the Netherlands moved to put 3,000 of their farmers out of business…the Dutch government is physically and violently stopping them from producing food.

The Netherlands (Dutch) is taking these Communist style actions to comply with forced European Union (EU) environmental laws. But, just as I explained how the US federal government will confiscate guns, the Netherlands is confiscating farm land. First, they offer a very generous, almost obscene, amount of money to buy the land. Once the “buy back” period is over, according to their new law the government will then simply take the land and force the farmers off. The farmers in the Netherlands have been protesting for years of these government ruler, regulations, laws, and actions to try and bring attention to this matter…and the public has been unsympathetic and the government as gotten more and more violent. Just a few days ago forces of the Netherlands government attacked protesters with heavy equipment. Farmers were sitting in their tractors during peaceful protests…and while additional protesters where outside of the tractors leaning against the machines. Heavy equipment used by the Dutch government had been militarized with armor and protective screens…then used to tip over the tractors. The interesting part…the Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, has praised World Economic Forum, the founder, and the Great Reset plan.

Not the First Time – I found an article in a July 2022 edition of the Deseret News where during another protest by farmers in their tractors, Dutch forces opened fire on the farmers. The farmer’s tractor caravan came up on a “blockade” by police and tried to go around it and push through it. The Dutch forces claimed the tractors were aiming at their personnel and tried to kill them, so they had to open fire on the farmers in their tractors in self defense. Strangely, no officers were injured before, during, or after the incident. Well, anyone who has ever worked around tractors know that you could just stroll your way out of danger of an approaching tractor…they are hardly fatally dangerous in a situation such as this. And the Dutch government is doing all of this to comply with World Economic Forum environmental guidelines that have been adopted by the European Union.

And It Is World-Wide –

It doesn’t take much time or effort to find a whole bunch of articles documenting that this kind of activity is taking place pretty much all over the world. Like the violent protests in Peru over farm and truck regulations. Yup, they are trying to put farmers out of business in Peru as well. And get this…their government wants to take all trucks off the road that are older than 1999! So, tell me again how this helps those people and their economy? Oh wait, Peru’s government is Communist. And wait for it…Peru’s government is closely aligned with China. And China wants to do what? Oh, mine all of  Peru’s vast rare earth mineral deposits for…wait for it…lithium batteries. And who has close business relationships with the Communist party and government in China…the Biden Crime Family. And who is not supporting the freedom desiring citizens of Peru and who is supporting the Communist government of Peru? Yup, President “Joe-the-Commie” Biden…head of the Biden Crime Family. And what does Communism and the US federal government have in common…a complete and total authoritarian agenda.

World Economic Forum (WEF) –

Were you aware that the founder of the WEF and who authored the “Great Reset” plan, and the “Davos Manifesto”, is Klaus Martin Schwab? Did you know that he was born 30 March 1938 in Nazi Germany (Third Reich). In 1971, Schwab founded the European Management Forum, in 1987 it was renamed the World Economic Forum. Now, there are all sorts of wild claims about him and his father and ties to Hitler. I cannot confirm some of the more fringe claims. But what I can tell you is this:

  • His parents appear to be Swiss, not German, but worked and lived in Nazi Germany a lot.

  • His father was the managing director of a subsidiary of Zurich, Germany-based engineering firm Escher Wyss. That subsidiary was locating in Switzerland during part of the war. That firm supported the German war effort.

  • His father also had managed the Escher Wyss branch in Ravensburg, Germany branch during the war as well. That Nazi branch used prisoners of war and forced laborers while his father was the manager.

  • His father was a member of some National Socialist organizations, no Nazi Party records exist that show his father was a Nazi Party member, although he almost surely would have to have been to hold a high position such as he did.

  • The firm, and his father, participated in developing the Nazi nuclear weapons program.

Klaus Schwab, the son and founder of WEF, advocates for, and along with the WEF spends hundreds of millions of dollars in the pursuit of, a world economic system in which there are a few elites at the head of the world’s economy that control and dictate how that system is run. He uses the term “stakeholder capitalism” where everyone involved benefits from the economy. But, on closer inspection it is only a top-tier few elites that actually do the controlling and the majority of the benefiting. When viewed objectively, “stakeholder capitalism” in reality is just a form of Communism…and Communism is authoritarianism, a totalitarian state.

Oh, and did I mention that the WEF is the driving force behind “ESG” that is the primary tool in implementing the “Great Reset” and used by the enviro-crazies through controlling trillions of dollars of investments. Oh, and soon will control/replace your credit score…with a “social score”. Oh, just like China already does.

Workforce/Debt –

Late last week the report came out showing both the Workforce Participation Rate and the Productivity Rate fell again. That means fewer and fewer workers doing less and less work. And that helps explain two major points…1) credit card debt at historic highs because people are using credit cards to pay bills, 2) household savings falling to historic lows in terms of amount of savings and number of households with any savings at all. So you have to ask yourself…What happens with the credit card limits are reached and the savings is all used up? Well, 60% of all Americans do not have a single penny of savings of any kind.

Crypto Fallout –

Crypto currency was falling apart for this entire year, FTX collapse accelerated it. Then the crypto lenders got into trouble, now the problems have spread to the entire investment community. A Market Watch article came out on Saturday revealing that numerous and serious problems with the crypto world has now spread to the mainstream investor world and is now jeopardizing some major investment funds and companies related to the crypto industry/markets. How widespread the problem is, and the potential damage, is mostly unknown at this point. But some estimates would boggle the mind of the average person. Yes, that means the fallout could mean collapse.

FBI –

There is now multi-sourced documented evidence that the FBI met weekly with leaders of big-tech companies prior to the 2020 Presidential election. That same evidence also shows that the FBI colluded with those companies to swing the election to Biden by covering up Biden Family crimes, raising questions about Trump, and directly influencing the public and media conversation regarding the election outcomes. As released last Friday, this on-going problem was again proven by FBI whistle-blower testimony before a number of state’s Attorneys General last week.

Oh, and let’s not forget…that evidence now proves that the FBI was meeting regularly with the Biden campaign staff and organizing/colluding with them to ensure Biden election.

This is proof-positive that the FBI is now nothing more than a federal-level political police force…enforcing the will of the government against the rights, liberties, and freedoms of US citizens…including ensuring presidential outcomes…as is done in any aspiring dictator run country.

The first real, substantiated, and numerous reports began came out this past summer, then it was backed-up in early November in a 1,000 page report from Congress. And for several months now all of that information has been corroborated by actual FBI agents turned whistle-blowers. The FBI is completely and totally compromised, there is only one solution for this problem.

Secret Service –

Last Thursday it was released that the Secret Service is now actively involved in the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden cover-up. The Secret Service changed its official statement and position in assisting the Biden Crime Family. In the spring of 2021 the Secret Service received a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all information regarding the illegal purchase, ownership, and disposal of a Hunter Biden gun. In response to that FOIA request the Secret Service stated they had records in their possession and would turn those over to the FOIA requester. A year later the Secret Service had still not turned over the records…a violation of law. When the FOIA requester sued the Secret Service in September of 2022, the Secret Service responded stating they had no records of any kind related to any Hunter Biden gun issue.

We see once again…a US federal law enforcement agency has become completely and totally corrupted. And again, to the point where there is only one solution for this problem.

World Energy Crisis –

Let’s start at home…It is already well documented that “Senile Joe” Biden is at war with the oil & gas industry and has doubled energy price in the US since his election. And we know that since Biden was elected as Vice-President that over ½ of all coal plants in the US have been put out of business due to regulatory costs imposed upon them first by the Obama/Biden regime and then those costs and regulations increased by the Biden Regime. And ironically last Thursday Biden said coal plants are closing because they are “too expensive” to build and/or operate. And why is that? Because Biden has for decades been directly responsible for increasing those costs that he now admits are too expensive and driving them out of business!

And of course all of this energy supply and cost catastrophe comes at a time when the US is already experiencing energy shortages and HUGE increases in costs. Last week multiple reports came out that predict significant energy shortages that will result in rolling blackouts this winter. That is on top of reports that there are, and will be more, people freezing to death due to the cost of home heating oil.

And ironically enough…the Biden Regime has mandated electric vehicle usage. And this is while some states, humorously California, has puts limits and bans on charging electric cars due to…wait for it…energy shortages. That comes from…wait for it…the Biden Regime’s actions to shut down energy production and increase the remaining energy to astronomical levels. But not to worry, Switzerland is about to ban electric cars and/or their charging due to energy shortages. Oh, and after they implemented mandates for the adoption of electric cars not that long ago…mandated by the EU.

And of course you have the EU countries…who have, and still are, in a war against non-green energy production. But…they are now looking to import energy from outside sources due to these brilliant moves. But…they are having problems finding sources to buy from due to their war against non-green energy production. But, one country has stepped up and said they have plenty of oil and natural gas to provide…Russia. Oh wait, they are in a war with Russia. Oh, and they told Russia they would pay no more than $60 per barrel of oil. Wait a second…a desperate buyer in need of a commodity that is in short supply telling a supplier of that commodity what they will pay for that commodity???? I hope Russia laughs in their face!!

Now, let’s touch on one energy crisis-related minor subject that I think is hilariously funny in a way…well, two actually. Let’s take the easy one first…”renewable energy” and its ridiculousness. So the crazies want all renewable energy…fine…that’s what I already due with my solar system. My system harvests solar energy during the day, stores it in lithium batteries for use at night. My batteries (with the addition of the new one) weigh in at about slightly over ¼ ton in a space about 2’x2’x3’. And that doesn’t allow us to have electric hot water, 24-hour electric baseboard heat, or 24-hour air conditioning. So, if the US switches to renewable, solar and wind, what happens to energy production at night when the sun is gone and winds die down? Store the daytime energy in batteries…for the entire grid? Huuummmm, think again, it is mathematically impossible. So tell me again…how does renewable energy power from the entire US electric grid work, stored at night in batteries? And tell me that in light of the fact that we can’t even charge all the existing electric cars right now? And that is supposedly going to increase by 10x the number of electric cars by 2030? Yeah…right!

Now the tougher one…OK, maybe not! So, you take all the electric cars that have been mandated for 2030/2040…there seems to be a slight bit of a problem. To produce those cars, especially the batteries, for those cars, it takes hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth minerals…and even more other resources. Valid and reliable studies have been done…oh, wait…there aren’t that many tons of those materials currently available on the planet. And to make it even more interesting…the damage to the air and earth from producing those cars, even if the minerals were available, is legitimately estimated to be 1,000 – 1,000,000 more destructive to the environment than operating the same number of fossil fuel vehicles vs the electric vehicles.

And let’s top off this section with a final interesting note…Who produces almost 100% of lithium batteries and solar equipment in the world? Yup, China. The same China where the Biden Crime Family and Clinton Crime Family have close business and political ties with the Communist Government. And of course who produces virtually 100% of all the advanced microchips that will/would be used in all of those cars and most of the solar equipment? Yup, Taiwan. The same Taiwan where the Pelosi Crime Family has close business relations with those same chip manufacturers.

Wait…one more thing…remember I talked about the WEF and their big push for what? Yeah, go figure…a world-wide, global elitist organization of the richest people in the world, who believe in authoritarianism, and pushing a “green agenda” that fits perfectly with the largest authoritarian country in the world that produces almost all solar equipment and 99% of all lithium batteries…China…a Communist/authoritarian government.

 

Notice a trend here?
