Topics that I will cover in this post:
- US Economy
- US Empire
- Illegal Aliens
- Personal Note
- Summary
FYI…I’ve been writing and editing this post for the last 8 days.
US Economy –
A wreck. Yup, that’s the best way to describe the US economy. Taking a day, week, or even a presidential term at a time as an indicator of how well the economy is doing is wrong thinking. I am looking at it in much longer terms…decades at the 
very minimum. The last 50 – 55 years is a much better look into the economic crystal ball.
There is no question that the middle-class is shrinking rather significantly since 1970. The dollar has lost so much of its value in the same time period it is almost insane to deny it when looking at the facts. The US standard of living is plummeting…and the best example of that decline is the near complete inability of most younger families to afford housing. But there are many more examples of the dollar devaluing for the last 50 years. What is incredible is that more people -especially experts- aren’t talking about it.
Think about this for a second…take away credit cards and where would the economy be? And with debt at historic/record high, what is the likelihood that credit becomes a problem due to the massive debt problem? Oh wait, credit is already having a problem.
The recent tariffs, trade wars, and markets crashing are just the latest example of the economy’s status; but those are only short-term indicators. There is a hidden key to this…whenever the economy takes a hit or the markets crash it is actually a transfer of wealth from the general public to the upper-class, especially the ultra-rich. And that amount transferred just since mid-November of last year…is trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars.
Remember this:
- Private/personal debt is at an historic level.
- Corporate debt is at an historic level.
- US government debt is at an historic level…with no chance that it can ever be repaid.

note: And for those of you that think China’s economy is worse off than the US’s…you might be right. But, that doesn’t matter…China can survive a bad economy much longer than the US can. The US needs what China makes!! What does China need that the US can make?
US Empire –
Look, no matter what you might think, no matter what you’ve been told…the United States of America is an “empire”. It fits the definition exactly and completely…the facts, history, and evidence are indisputable.
The transition of the US from a Constitutional Republic to an empire actually has its roots in the concept of “Manifest Destiny”, a mid-1800’s idea of the supremacy of the US. The concept actually goes further…it is the embracing of a God-given or divine right of the US to expand its “ruled” territory as much as it wants, wherever it wants, whenever it wants because God said we could. Not only is that an ultimate manifestation of arrogance, it is the antithesis of a Christian belief in God. But oh no, that didn’t stop the United States government and it’s leadership!
The most blatant example that comes to my mind today was Hawaii. In the late 1890’s the US government violently overthrew the sovereign Hawaiian government and then annexed the islands. Huh, just about the time that Progressivism turned into a national movement/power inside the United States. Oh, and about the same time that the Communist Party was established in the US. Oh, and about the same time that federal income tax was introduced (a communist principle). Oh, about the same time that States were stripped of the power of electing US Senators via the 17th Amendment. Oh, about the same time the US unnecessarily entered the first world war. Oh, and about the same time the modern, full-time, professional army was established. A standing army that was both feared and abhorred by our Founding Fathers, and not 
authorized in the US Constitution.
Consider this…there are roughly 750 US foreign military bases; they are spread across 80 nations! So if the US is not an “empire” why would we have 750 foreign military bases? Think about that for just a minute…750 bases!
Now, just for the heck of it, consider the money spent on that single federal budget line item. Why would we want to spend that much money on bases occupying foreign countries if we were not an empire?
Here is the downside of the US Empire, even if you like the concept of the US being an empire, the US Empire is in decline. And the oddest things about empires…ALL empires in the history of the world; 1) they always fall, 2) they are always replaced. No empire in the history of the world has avoided that fate…and neither will the US. Any guess what empire is emerging?

Illegal Aliens –
Do I even need to go into the huge problem that illegal aliens have created in the US?
Latest evidence shows that the Biden administration alone brought it at least 15,000,000 illegal aliens. And that group 
included the scum of the world’s population, the worst possible human beings on the planet; everything from radical Islamic terrorists to brutal drug cartel hit-men, from serial rapists to Chinese soldiers, from barbaric murderers to child molesters, and the list goes on. Tens of thousands of US citizens have suffered rapes, being murdered, child molestation, violent assaults, robberies, etc. from the scum of illegal immigrants.
AND IT WAS ALL DONE INTENTIONALLY !
Biden, the democrats, and even the republicans, all knew what was going on. Border Patrol, DHS…hell, ALL federal law enforcement agencies knew what was happening…and they rolled out the red carpet for these vermin.
Can you guess why this was done, why it was planned, why it was intentional?
If you said things like:
- Implementing Cloward–Piven
- Sowing chaos and violence
- Laying the groundwork for civil war
- Creating fear and panic
- Political power
Those reasons would be a great start! But only a start. It is far worse than just that.

Personal Note –
Over the last 3 – 4 years there have been multiple times I have considered terminating the website. Each time I was clearly prompted to keep writing and posting. A couple of the times I really, really wanted to stop posting. Again, each time I was prompted to continue. On April 13th out of the blue I felt the impression “now is the time”…meaning it is time that I step back from the website.
I think I will continue to do work on the site, maybe. If I do, it will probably be indexing and expanding the Table of Contents to make all the information more accessible. After all, there are almost 1500 postings on the site; most of them are hard to access for reference. So some organizational/administrative work is called for.
So why no more, or at least far, far fewer, postings? I am about to hit 70, and I believe I am losing my relevance in today’s 
world, culture, politics, etc. I told my wife I am sure I’ve turned into a grumpy and crotchety old man. She didn’t argue against that assessment 🙂
In all seriousness…I think I have too much bias and I am too jaded to give objective observations anymore; and I am too fed-up with all the crap to provide appropriate suggestions. Besides, honestly, what more can I say that I haven’t already said in 100 different ways? There is also a secondary reason for me backing away…I am busy and driven.
I have been working non-stop on the glamstead for a long time. However, in the last 4+ months I have been working overtime to get the place ready. I have added five new fruit trees, cleared about 8,000 more square feet of trees and bushes, worked the soil extensively with amendments, and planted grass as a cover crop should I (or someone else) ever need that area for more garden space. I seriously upgraded the solar system, installed an automatic orchard irrigation system, and cut a bunch of firewood. Then there is the considerable work I have put into upgrading the glamstead security with a new reinforced entrance gate area, driveway alarms, and an entire home security system with cameras.
Why all the work and the significant sense of urgency? Here is where it might get a bit weird for those who don’t know me, or haven’t been following the site for long, or those who are not on the same wavelength as me.
Several years ago I was part of a number of long and in-depth conversations about the “last days” and the “7 years of tribulation.” Each time I shared my opinion some folks were kinda shocked at what I had to say. The easy one first…yes, I believe we are in the “last days” as described in the scriptures. As for “7 years of tribulation” before Christ returns to the earth…well, that is a bit more complicated. You see the New Testament was written long after the Apostles died. Most of the books were written by others who were quoting or rendering their version of what they thought the Apostles and Christ had said. And the King James Bible is a translation from translations which came from translations. And the actual person,
King James, had this “scholars” skew the translation towards some political ideology that favored his position as monarch. Those are known facts and are impactful in the bigger picture.
Meaning…the King James version of the Bible is not all the literal/actual words of God, Jesus, or the Apostles. And yes, we know that for a fact. Actually, the KJV of the Bible even references scriptural books that have intentionally been left out of modern bibles. And all current/modern versions of the Bible have their roots in the KJV translation of the Bible. What does that mean? Based on the writing style of the books’ authors, and the fact the Bible comes from a long line of translations, not every word means today what it meant back then.
So, “7 years of tribulation” probably doesn’t mean exactly 2557 days of tribulation as we think of it. The “7 years” part is a representation of the fact it will simply last a long time. All that being said…I believe we are in the last days and I believe we are in the 7 years of tribulation and I believe it will get worse from here. That is what is creating my sense of urgency. And that sense of urgency is what is driving me to get so much done here on the glamstead…and that takes a lot time each and every day. Researching for and preparing articles for the website takes too much of that precious time away from working on the glamstead…which means the website must take a back seat.
note: Before the crazies jump on me…I am not saying the end of the world is tomorrow, next week, or even next year. I am not a prophet nor am I making a prediction. I am expressing my opinion on my sense of urgency.
Summary –
I have referred to the Cloward–Piven Strategy for years, well over a decade actually. Oddly enough it was first exposed in the late 1960’s…huh, just before the big transfer in wealth and the beginning of the middle-class decline in the US. Oh, and
the removal of the dollar from the gold standard. Oh, and the move into the global economy. Oh, and opening up trade between the US and China…etc, etc, etc. Coincidence?
The summary of the Cloward–Piven Strategy is pretty simple; through militant groups, especially anti-poverty groups, create a political crisis by overloading the US economic system. Needless to say…they’ve succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. And yes, Cloward and Piven were radical leftists, Marxists, and Communists. There are so many government entitlement programs now that combined federal entitlement programs amount to just about 60% of the total US federal budget…completely unsustainable. And what do you think happens if/when those funds completely dry up?
As for there being a “global elitist” conspiracy…ah, it’s not. Hang on, I mean it’s not a conspiracy theory…it is real. The 
most prominent organization that appears to be behind it currently is the World Economic Forum (WEF), of which I have written extensively. This should come as no surprise to you that globalist plans actually exist. But it is not new. About 800 years ago the first Khan stated the goal pretty clearly…erase all boundaries between countries and spread their culture and traditions throughout the world.
While Genghis Khan was not the first megalomaniac to desire a global empire, he is the first that clearly stated the reasons for their desires in modern terms. Karl Marx stated a globalist agenda 200 years ago; he saw socialism and ultimately communism on a global scale as a way to implement a singular culture via authoritarianism. Hitler desired the same thing almost 100 years ago in the form of fascism (national socialism). The European Union is political example of it currently via democratic socialism. There is no shortage of examples regarding the globalist agenda.
Historically the primary hurdles have been:
- Access to, and control of, information
- Instant communication capability
- Ease of speedy international travel
- Ability to control commerce
All of which are now commonplace.
How does the globalist agenda tie into the USA? The US is the only global power that currently has the capability to stop the globalist agenda. Russia doesn’t have the technology or resources. China desires the same globalist agenda; obviously with China as the top tier leadership/power of that globalism. China has the manpower, the technology, and resources to accomplish the globalist agenda…they are the emerging global empire. The USA on the other hand is an empire decreasing in economic power and technological innovation. And, while Europe may be the prominent figurehead in the current globalist movement, the USA is a major power, financially and militarily, in accomplishing that agenda.
Meaning… the USA will not save the world from the globalists; the USA is actually enabling and empowering their agenda.
Here we are:
- Cloward–Piven Strategy has destabilized the US economy in a major way through government entitlement programs.
- Obama destabilized the US culture via racism, a part of Marxism.
- Biden destabilized the US economy and national identity via intentional illegal alien border policy and huge deficit spending.
- Nixon, a globalist, started the ruination of the US manufacturing independence and the middle-class via unilateral open global trade policies.
- Nixon, a globalist, destabilized the US dollar by taking us off the gold standard.
And now we find ourselves in the middle of a huge trade war on an international scale. We are effectively isolating ourselves globally without the current ability to be self-reliant as a nation. Oh, and the small matter of two shooting wars that we are in the middle of. Oh, and another shooting war that we are directly in the middle of, Iran, which is about to escalate.
note: When you hear of anyone who voices support for Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) they are the global elites, or at least support the global elites’ plan. Why? Because digital currency (CBDC) is total control of all aspects of an economy/commerce and everyone within it. It is a powerful tool of authoritarianism. It is the ultimate loss of freedom.
Now, notice how communism, marxism, socialism, and fascism are all political means to an end…globalism. Why? Because they are all a form of, or an enabler of, authoritarianism. You may want to believe and say that the US is immune to authoritarianism because we are a democracy. Ah, think again. The US was established as a Constitutional Republic for a reason…a political system/ideology that is a far cry from democracy! Is the US now a democracy vs a Constitutional Republic? Yes, without question or doubt.
And why is a democracy a bag thing? Well, listen to an expert on Marxism, Communism, democracy, and authoritarianism…
For years I have been writing about all of this extensively, in detail, using facts and history to show it, to expose it. There is now very little to nothing else I can share…if people don’t see it now, I am afraid they may never see it. Our very Constitution hangs by a thread!
Can we save the Constitution? No…and yes.
“No”, in that the US federal government no longer functions as a Constitutional Republic, it is a democracy with major elements of authoritarianism in both form and function. “Yes”, in that we as individuals, and to some degree communities, can save the principles of the Constitution and apply them in our daily lives. And in time, over time, it may well be individuals, families, and communities that saves the Constitution…or at least its principles.
The question I keep asking…What part do you play in that? How do you help in that endeavor? I don’t know about you and your situation, so I don’t know what you can do…I only know what I can do and am doing. You have to make the commitment and the plan for your part…that is, if you think the Constitution is worth saving.
What is the single biggest threat this very minute to losing rights, liberties, and freedoms? Money, economy, markets…whatever you want to call it. The entire world is so economically unstable right now…so much so we could wake up on 
any given morning and it has all crashed. Then will come a proposed solution…the globalists’ answer…authoritarianism.
It will not presented that way of course. It will be held up as a program of peace, stability, economic relief, healthy food aplenty, clean energy, safety, security, human rights, civil rights, equality for all, respect, etc. And people will eat it up! Why? Because people in general have become both weak and reliant on everything and everyone else. People have lost the abilities to think for themselves, to use critical thinking…hell, most people can’t even grow a freaking tomato any more!
Ask people where chocolate milk comes from. First you will be scolded for drinking milk 
from oppressed cows, then you will be told chocolate milk obviously comes from brown cows.
Everything from all sectarian leadership, primarily all levels of government, is being thrust upon people to divide groups from each other, pit brother against brother, divisiveness on a scale never before seen, and to isolate people…to make us weak and dependent.
President Reagan stated it best, the most clearly…
And this government oppression is getting worse day by day…from every quarter. And that is one of the reasons I say we are already in the 7 years of tribulation referred to in the New Testament; but just one of the reasons…there are dozens more.
What do you do? I have no idea whatsoever in all reality. You may not even believe a word I say, in that case you don’t have to do anything. If you do believe what I say, or even part of it, you have to figure out what is right for you, your family, and your community. I can’t help you with that any more than I already have over the years. What I do know…there is little, probably nothing, more I can do or say to help. And that is a driving force of me backing away from more writing about prepping and current events.
You want to know my bottom line?
- We are in the final days, suffering tribulation.
- We are seeing the destruction of the US and the world in general.
- We are experiencing brutal evil.
- We are seeing the early stages of the Great Reset.
- The seeds of global authoritarianism have sprouted.
- And I truly believe we don’t even recognize all the real players yet, or the true evil that has grasped humanity.
But…all is not lost. God will not allow evil to win in the end. There are pockets of amazing people and amazing events that are occurring…even actual miracles are taking place. God is so alive and at work it is impossible to relate even a fraction of it. But God is there for us, good is here all around…it is taking place…it is wondrous!
That is the final reason for me backing away from the time and effort that I have been putting into the website. I want to be a part in that plan of God’s. I want to be a more faithful and useful tool in His hands. In any small way I can make the world a bit better, to help people, to do good…I want to do so. I want to serve.
Folks, I wish everyone all the best. My prayers will be for everyone. Please find your self-reliant path.

On this Independence Day I am going to take a minute this morning and express my deep appreciation for our Founding Fathers. The courage and bravery it took to finally declare independence from the tyranny and oppression of the British Empire is almost beyond comprehension. But those incredible men finally had enough of high taxation, a remote all-powerful central government, and were fed up with a ruling class running the daily lives of hard working colonists.
