This is Part #4 of the May 2022 SitRep. Before reading this article I strongly urge you to have read the previous articles related to this SitRep. Failure to read these previous articles will prevent you from having an accurate understanding of what I am trying to say and why.

Never has a SitRep been more important…and the need for you to understand what I am saying more urgent.

Answers DAMN IT! –

This is what it all boils down to…answers. In other words, answering the #1 question of all preppers, and most US citizens in general, have…What can/should I do?

Before that question can be addressed I propose that the risks/threats must be correctly and properly identified:

• The federal government is taking steps to silence free speech.
• The federal government is creating a bureaucratic mechanism to criminalize anyone who disagrees with anything the federal government does or says.
• The federal government has taken steps to eliminate constitutional rights by use of extreme measures such as identifying dissidents as domestic terrorists.
• The federal government has taken, and will soon take, draconian measures to disarm US citizens in direct contradiction to the US Constitutional Bill of Rights. Understand this…the 2nd Amendment is already half destroyed due the elimination and demonization of militias.
• The federal government is creating one crisis after another causing chaos, confusion, fear, hate, insecurity, and general turmoil. Once created they advance the concept that only the federal government can cure each crisis…each crisis that they created.
• The federal government is allowing the Federal Reserve to create fluctuating unemployment, hyper-inflation, and the Fed devalued the US dollar to a low from which it can never recover.
• The federal government is creating a massive network of law enforcement that can infringe, and has infringed, upon the rights, liberties, and freedoms of individual citizens at any time for any reason. Such actions being outside of Constitutional due process and principles.
• The federal government expanding the capability of an agency (NSA) that can, and does, spy on every aspect of every US citizen’s life.
• Federal bureaucrats and politicians elevating themselves above the average US citizen to a status of a ruling elite, an aristocrat class, the ones who know best. Ensuring that they and their peers are exempt from the laws that the average citizen can not escape.

But the greatest threat of all…the US federal government’s plan to completely subjugate the citizens of the US into a serfdom class totally unable to defend themselves against the implementation of authoritarianism and its ugly cousin, tyranny.

How has the federal government accomplished all these things? With the help of, the blessings of, and the approval of the US citizenry. Now, not all citizens have approved of all their actions, and many have opposed them, but the government could only do that which the citizenry has allowed and tolerated them to do.

And how did US citizens get to the point that the federal government was allowed to run amok? Well, as a people and country we abandoned God, forgot the reasoning behind the Constitution and Bill of Rights, embraced situational ethics, and all too much viewed the Constitution as a living breathing document vs a firm foundation of guiding principles. We turned a blind eye to our politicians’ unbridled lust for power and money. We encouraged a large and powerful standing army fueling the greed and power lust of the military-industrial complex. We embraced party politics over sound Constitutional principles and eternal truths.

Our out-of-control US federal government became the hydra it is today simply because we allowed it to. We were seduced by their promises of easy money, peace, security, pride, patriotism, and manifest destiny. What we got instead was none of those promises fulfilled, but a government that is interested in one thing…creating an authoritarian state that benefits the few at the expense of the vast citizenry.

Does that about sum it up? You cure the problem of the US federal government and most other problems either disappear or become less daunting.

But therein lies the problem…there is no realistic cure for the US federal government, it has simply become too large, too powerful, too overreaching, too tyrannical in nature and deed to be cured. No election can cure it, we’ve seen that already for over 100 years. The Supreme Court can’t fix it, it is part of the problem. Elected federal politicians can’t fix it, they either are the actual problem or the good ones get converted to the lust for power or get crushed by the political machines of both parties. There is no modern day George Washington to straighten everything out, and there never will be. There is simply no way to cure the problem of the US federal government. If you try they will attempt to silence you. Should that fail…the FBI Hostage Rescue Team will come knocking and kill you.

Not a pretty picture…just the way they have been painting it for 130 years.

The only way to attempt to cure the federal government problem is to cure the problems within our collective selves as citizens, to make right that which is wrong within each of us. It boils down to each individual, that is how you attempt to fix it.

So, now that I have, more or less, identified the risks and threats, IMHO, depressing as it may sound…what can/should you and I be doing about it all?

Well, let’s take this in priority order:

1. FIRST and FOREMOST – In order to stay alive and out of prison do not participate in violence of any kind. Do not attend protests, demonstrations, or any kind of rally. At this point in time all of these have the real potential to turn violent. Do not get involved in those activities! Don’t even talk about committing violence no matter how patriotic it may sound. When you are around people do not allow them to talk about committing violence, or even advocating for it. If they do, then tell them you will have no part in it and leave. Why? Same as I have told you before…the federal law enforcement agencies have agents or informers in every militia in the US and any other group they see as a threat. They will look for and find any reason to arrest and imprison anyone they can. And if that can’t find a reason they will manufacture one as they have done so numerous times. Stay away from any anti-government style violence or discussion of such…period!
2. Have a clear set of core principles that you believe in no matter what. If you don’t already have them, develop that set of core principles. Those principles must be based on both temporal (i.e. US Constitution & Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, etc.) and spiritual concepts (i.e. 10 Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, etc.). Make the decision to stand by those principles no matter what, and then do not compromise those principles. When challenged, do not shrink from defending those principles using sound reasoning, logic, and compassionate understanding of others.
3. Clearly see the magnitude of the problem and the utter enormity of the collapse that has already occurred and more which is coming…and stay situationally aware. Focus on knowing what is going on in the country and world from only trusted sources of information. But, do not become obsessed over current events, ignore all non-trustworthy sources of information, stay away from those promoting conspiracy theories, avoid “fear porn”, and do not give time to the “static” in life.
4. Be willing to have am emergency preparedness plan, make a plan, and be committed to work that plan. The plan must be based on solid, practical, and proven concepts of emergency preparedness. The plan must cover all areas of threats/risks and above all, it must be realistic.
5. Forget acting globally, forget acting nationally, but do act locally. Be involved in your family, community, congregation, and possibly at the state level (if you feel prompted to do so). It is highly likely that you can have no impact at the global or national level to right this sinking ship…so don’t waste your time, talents, efforts, or resources on that pointless effort. Stay focused and engaged where you can make a difference. Start at the smallest/lowest possible level and then expand from there. Concentrate on where you can be both active and effective in your ability to help others. Serve.
6. Do not be part of political party politics and do not support any political party platform. Advocate, support, and advance only your principles as outlined in #2 regardless of politics or political parties. Push forward the sound principles that you have formed when you are involved in your community. Do not compromise those principles. Seek consensus not compromise. When you vote, vote for the candidate whose principles and ideas match yours regardless of political party affiliation. Do not donate your money to any political party; you have no true knowledge of what they are doing with that money.
7. Talk about emergency preparedness whenever appropriate to get as many people aware as possible. But, do not show your preps to anyone and do not be specific regarding the extent of your preps.
8. Gently, quietly, without fanfare, find others who think and act as you do. Start a moderate conversation regarding emergency preparation in general terms. Gauge their response, move forward if there is common ground, but do so only in small steps. Know who you are talking to. As trust and confidence grows move the conversation to mutual support and assistance in your emergency preparedness endeavors. A good place to start would be at church. But, don’t assume that just because they are fellow church goers that they share all of your preparedness beliefs or share your core principles.
9. Do everything you can to be as independent of all levels of government as possible, especially the federal government. Think “self-reliance” in every aspect of your life.
10. Be willing and committed to defending yourself, your family, your principles, and your community against all threats that would jeopardize those principles or the safety of those you love and have joined with.
11. Have “realistic expectations” of yourself and your family when it comes to emergency preparedness. It would be wonderful to be 100% prepared for any emergency that might come your way…but that is 100% unrealistic. Do the best you can with what you have…and that is good enough. Focus your time and resources on that which is the greatest risk/threat against you and your family, solve that, and then move on to the next item. Work your plan but do not become obsessive.

I apologize if you were expecting some great “silver bullet” solution. But I don’t apologize if you were expecting me tell you to join a militia, take up arms, revolt, become an Alexander Hamilton, etc. These times are not those that cry out for violence as our Founding Fathers did after decades of trying to solve the problems with England. If you are drawn towards violence, a repeat of the 1/6 disaster, etc. then I am not your guru, I don’t have your answers.

What we need in this country right now is civility, compassion, willingness to serve, level-headedness, calm, and people determined to be prepared for emergencies, disasters, and grid-down. We need people who can reach out to their families, their communities & neighbors, and their congregations with helping hands. We need people with strong principles, or at least those willing to embrace strong righteous principles, willing to stand-up for those principles, and then share them with others in a calm and gentle manner.

Look at what the federal government is doing, what bureaucrats are doing, what politicians are doing, and how they are behaving and what their position related actions are. We need good people doing the exact opposite. We need good people doing good things for the right reasons, helping and serving others. Embrace selflessness…abandon selfishness.

The best way, actually the only way, to fight evil is to fight it with good. And you must be that source of good. For this is truly a struggle of good vs evil. Right now evil is wining on a global and national level for the most part. But that can and will change. I am asking you, imploring you, to be part of that good that makes that change.

Now, just for clarification…I am not advocating that you not physically defend yourself or your family against threats and acts of violence. You have a God-given right to defend yourself and you have a responsibility mandated by God to defend and protect your family. And I urge you to take both of those responsibilities seriously, as seriously as you need to…only you can make that judgement as to what degree.

This is not a month long struggle, not even a year long struggle; it may not be resolved even in your lifetime. But, you are part of the solution, today’s solution, tomorrow’s solution…be the part of the solution that you need to be.

Summary –

Right now pretty much every aspect of our world is in turmoil…and it is meant to be that way…that is their intention. Every soldier of evil is working overtime to create that mayhem and havoc. It is all by design. And for the most part it is the federal government creating, or at the center of, all of the chaos and bedlam. For in doing so they create division among the people keeping them from uniting to restore our Constitutional rights, to live a free and happy life, to hold accountable those who lust for power. By separating us, by using party politics, by playing race against race, by distorting truth, by heavy handed tyrannical and powerful government tactics the seek to move us to little more of a role than serfdom.

You could easily find reason to be depressed, withdraw from society, or take up arms in a misdirected cause. Don’t! You could easily get caught up in worship of political idols or in embracing political party platforms you could find some semblance of security and a sense of belonging. Don’t! You can justify anger and rage in today’s world with minimal effort. Don’t!

There are many easy roads and paths to follow. But where do they actually lead you? Some may seem to be correct, some meeting an inner need for action, others may appeal to some desire to belong. But what is the actual eventual outcome of those paths and roads…they all have an end-state somewhere. What does that look like? Can you even see the end or know what it is? Is it really something you want to be involved it?

I don’t know a single prepper who isn’t action oriented. We all want to take action, we all want to fix things, we all want to make things better, and we all feel better when we are doing something to correct a bad situation. We are doers and not just talkers and dreamers; although I am sure we do plenty of the latter two. The key here is what we do, the next actions we take.

There is no easy answer, there is no easy fix, there is no easy road or path to follow, and there certainly is no magical silver bullet. But there is an answer, there is a path to follow, there is a positive outcome, and you can easily be part of it.

Notice I said “…easily be part of it…” That doesn’t eliminate any of the hard parts…I just refer to it being easy for you to join in the solution. Staying there and performing tasks within that solution is a whole other story…I imagine that part will be hard at almost every turn for most of us.

But, you can do, you can belong, you can fix, you can move forward, you can help, you can make a difference, you can serve, you can be part of the solution…it depends solely on who you are inside and what you want out of life. It is all entirely up to you.

I can’t imagine for the life of me that anyone reading this article (other than the federal law enforcement agents/researchers) would not want to be part of the solution. Meaning a lawful, Constitutional, God-centered, positive, correct, appropriate, and meaningful solution to the problems we face today.

I know many of you, I get a sense from everyone who visits my site and reads my articles that you are great people, intelligent people, folks who want the world to be a better place.

I also know exactly what frustration is. Maybe not your particular frustration, but I know what frustration is when I look at this disaster of a country we live in. I am frustrated that our government has abandoned virtually every founding principle that was divinely inspired nearly 250 years ago during our young country’s struggle for independence. I am frustrated that many of our citizens have exchanged freedoms, liberties, and rights for the promise of security and peace. I get it…I do…I understand it.

And frustration can be a wonderful motivating tool or it can lead to utter destruction. They key is what your frustration motivates you to do. I suggest you search yourself…and then allow your frustration to motivate you to do what is right. There be consequences, some good, some not so good, that follow when you do the right things…let them come. Start today.

This is Part #3 of the May 2022 SitRep. Before reading this article I strongly urge you to have read the previous articles related to this SitRep. Failure to read these previous articles will prevent you from having an accurate understanding of what I am saying and why.

Never has a SitRep been more important…and the need for you to understand what I am saying more urgent.

Now on to Part #3…

The fall of the U.S. Empire –

So why this topic after just writing about the US Civil War II; or more accurately The Great United States Federal Government Revolution?

Pretty simple…to explain “why” and “why now.”

For years, lots of years, I have been studying history…including great empires. And I am sure you are aware as well of the rise/fall of empires, the Roman Empire is a prime example. And I am sure that you have made, or read, about the comparison of the USA to the rise and fall of other empires. Well, it is true, proven by fact, well documented, and shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the USA is on the same track. How close to the “fall” we are has been hotly debated for a while now. I personally believe we are close, very close, to the “fall” as an empire.

First of all let’s get this out of the way…if you think the USA is not an “empire” then you are either ignorant or a reality and truth denier.

Now, the most researched, documented, and clearly written information regarding empires that I have ever seen has been produced by a guy by the name of Dalio. He went into factual scientific detail, extreme detail, regarding the rise and fall of the great empires in the last 500 years. So let’s start with this…a chart that shows the life-cycle of an empire:Yeah, this chart represents exactly and factually what all empires go through…its called their empire life-cycle. Does anything look familiar?

Then we can review how all the empires have cycled in the last 500 years:

But that looks a bit confusing, so let’s boil it down to the top 4 empires:

Notice which empire is rising and which is falling?

Just gotta throw a couple more charts in there. Next one is rise/fall based on the global reserve status of an empire’s currency.

Notice which empire is rising and which is falling?

Next are the eight factors that empire’s rise/fall curves were based on and their place in the empire’s life-cycle.

Is this clear yet?

There is a variable factor that has come into play throughout the 500 years, but most notably in the last 100 years…technology. The technology of today is accelerating the curves, both the rise and fall ended of the curves.

The United States of America is an empire…an empire is steep decline. That statement is factual, based in reality, founded on history, and well researched empirical scientific evidence. Worse yet, nothing will occur that will or can stop the fall…it is already occurring…and the USA will complete the collapse. Again, that too is based on fact and historical evidence.

Here we see the status of 9 areas of importance controlling the rise and fall of the US Empire:

The only trait that is consistently rising over the last 30 years is the US military. And that is because our endless wars and the military-industrial complex grip on the government and our desperate gasp to be relevant in the world.

In the following two charts we see where the US Empire is in relation to the modern Chinese Empire:

Here is the key and the point to all of this…why do you think that the US Federal Government has started the revolution that I talked about in Part #2? Why do you think they are intentionally creating chaos, mayhem confusion, hate, violence, pitting once group against another, etc.?

The powers behind the monstrosity that is called the US federal government know the United States empire is falling and will collapse, they are simply implementing a plan (revolution/civil war) for that which is to rise from the ashes of that coming fall. And I am telling you now…it ain’t no Constitutional Republic they plan to resurrect.

Now:

1. Do you recognize fact, do you accept scientific evidence, do you believe in proven historical datum?
2. Do you see what they are planning for the USA, and why, after it collapses as an empire?
3. Do you have a plan on what to do about it or how to cope with the fall?
4. Have you talked it through with your family, your community, and your congregation?
5. Do you even know anyone else who accepts this information or believes similar to you?
6. What will you do going forward now that this is staring you right in the face?

USA’s divine origins…Yes, I believe the Founding Fathers when they talk about the US being founded with divine help from God. The Declaration of Independence uses the very terms “God”, “Creator”, “Supreme Judge”, and “divine Providence.” So yes, the United States of America was founded, in whole or in part, by God for His purposes.

Does God guarantee that America will survive or operates with his blessing today? I can’t find a single inspired source that says that. And I believe that any country such as America that kills nearly 1 million unborn babies per year is not, and will not, receive the blessing of our Father in Heaven.

Now for an extremely important point that I have to make; and it is critical to everything I have talked about and that I will talk about going forward. Not understanding the next statement will jade opinions of everything I’ve written in terms of the US Empire and its fall, a war mongering people, etc. So here goes…

There is no comparison between the people of the United States and the federal government of the United States. The government of the United States is completely corrupt, decadent, and its leaders totally depraved lusting only after power and money. It follows no eternal truths, acts against the best interests of its citizens, and performs abhorrent acts of evil. The US federal government has abandoned the rule of law, turned away from the Constitution, no longer recognizes natural God-given rights, or respects rights guaranteed through the Bill of Rights.

On the other hand, as a people, citizens of the United States are some of the most warm, friendly, compassionate, and giving people in the world. Global statistics show that to be 100% true. One only needs to travel to the mid-west or localities that are church-centered to see that this is true. Granted liberal run states are far less so, but still as a country, we are a good and decent people. Not near as much as we once were, but still on the positive side of the scale.

But let me be clear…the US federal government doesn’t mirror the positive qualities of its citizens. And to be quite honest…the federal government it doing its very, very best to crush the good and decent people of the US into oblivion. Why? So no one looks to fellow citizens for decency or help…they look only to the federal government for answers and solutions. Thus becoming serfs to the authoritarians. They seek to crush any form of self-reliance…temporal or spiritual.

Yes, there are a few decent people at the federal political level, but damn few…probably could count them on one hand…maybe. Virtually all politicians and bureaucrats prefer compromise vs consensus, power vs liberty, regulations vs freedoms, controls vs rights, wealth vs fairness, politics vs principles, and authoritarianism vs a Constitutional Republic.

So please don’t confuse the qualities of people in the US vs the immorality of the government of the US. The problem lies in the fact that the people no longer control the government…and people fear the government.

Bottom line…

1. As a government the US federal government has fallen into decay, ruthless tyranny, and is totally debauched.
2. As an empire the US is falling fast and the crash cannot be prevented. What rises from its ashes will be much, much worse than what exists today.
3. You must have a plan on what you are to do, how you are to do it, and with whom you will do it. Failure to do so ensures failure of the worst kind.

These updates I consider “critical” due to their potential impact to bring down the US in one fell swoop when grouped together. One update could create an almost instant shooting civil war. These are serious developments and I felt the need to include them in the SitRep to bring additional clarity and understanding to what is happening and just how precarious our situation is.

The areas I will be updating are:

• The Economy
• Food Situation
• War with Russia
• US Civil War II

If you have not already read the following articles prior to this article, please do so now. Doing so will help you understand more fully what I am referring to in this and subsequent May 2022 SitRep articles.

• SitRep – May 2022 (part #2 of 3)

In a article later today I will be posting the actual Part 3 of the May 2022 SitRep covering “The fall of the US Empire”.

On with the updates…

The Economy –

There is an interesting (albeit troubling) economic narrative starting to surface. The numbers for months now show that the US is in-fact in a recession. Additional numbers how that inflation is fiscally killing everyone but the rich; and especially negatively impacting the middle-class. The job numbers show that people are increasingly unemployed with many people no longer seeking employment although employable. And there was widespread belief among many experts that the country would enter a depression before the end of the year.

Well, there is an economic term out there called “excess savings” (ES) and man is it weird. ES is the difference in the total value of money in savings due to COVID vs if COVID hadn’t occurred.

Example: let’s say that you would normally have $1,000 in savings had COVID not occurred. But, since COVID occurred you now have $2,500 in savings; supposedly because you weren’t spending money and thus you saved it. ES is the $1,500 additional money you now have in savings.

And these ES true believers say the US has $1.6trillion in ES to spend. That equates to $12,307 of ES per US household. And based on that figure these ES folks are predicting that the US is coming out of a recession and headed, very shortly headed, to an economic boom. And the worst part…many on the Biden/Harris team are jumping onboard the ES ship.

Now, I don’t know about you and your household but I can tell you that without any hesitation…in our house we don’t have an extra $12,307 dollars in savings!! And I am not hearing any of my friends or acquaintances talking about their extra $12,307.

But there is more contradictory information…

• US citizens added $13.5trillion of wealth,
• Paid off massive amounts of credit card debt,
• Bought and refinanced homes a record paces,
• Put more money into savings than ever before.

But we know that…

• Unpaid credit card balances are at record highs,
• Mortgage foreclosures have skyrocketed by 132%.

But, once you dig below the surface to see the fallacy of those positive ES numbers…

• The stock market was the biggest driver of that wealth gain in 2020 and 2021. And 2022 YTD stock market losses totaled nearly 10% wiping out most of that wealth gain.
• 1/3 of that wealth gain went to the top 1% of the US rich folks, well over 70% of the wealth gain went to the top 20% richest people in the US.
• The middle-class folks suffered the most financially, showing little to no gain in wealth. And as stated, almost all of their wealth gain was from the stock market which has since been wiped out.

Bottom line…the rich got richer…as for everyone else, not so much.

And an interesting set of facts…there were many new billionaires created in the world and the US. All of them came from the ranks of millionaires. And out of the top 16 billionaires created around the world during the COVID pandemic…8 were from China. I find that very interesting considering where the virus came from.

Couple the increase in the wealth going primarily to the richest and most of the new billionaires are located in China…well, you get the idea. If you aren’t following me…it is not just the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. In this case, as in virtually all cases in the last 50 years…the wealth is being transferred from the bottom 90% of the people to the richest 10% of the people…and the US middle-class is disappearing as China producers more and more billionaires.

That should scare the hell out of you! Why? Because the strength of the US Constitutional Republic and the US economy has always been the US middle-class. Without the middle-class you have the rich elites (i.e. ruling class authoritarians) and serfs.

The single most troubling aspect of this dramatic contradiction of economic data…it adds to the confusion, anger, and chaos being created.

What is actually the damage to the middle class?

Since 1970 the US rich have gotten notably richer, the poor have gotten marginally less poor, but the middle-class has been decimated by comparison.

The underpinning of a stable US constitutional political system is the middle-class. In every country or empire, once the middle-class begins to disappear and the rich become richer and dominate…that country/empire falls.

The chart above shows:

• The middle-class shrank by 33%
• The poor did shrink by 20%
• And the rich increased by 72%

So you might think…GREAT! The middle-class and poor folks moved into the “rich” class. Ah, no. This is a comparative chart…it shows that the few rich got richer by a lot. The poor improved their status a bit. But it shows that there is a significant decrease in folks being considered middle-class. Meaning that for the most part many of the middle-class moved into the “poor” category. And that movement of the middle-class earners into the lower-income category is what boosted the improvement in poor category up a small amount.

Now let me connect two dots to help make things more clear.

Remember the $12,307 increase in excess savings (ES) per household? That number is an average per household. However, looking below the surface for the middle-class you see that most of that ES was based in two areas:

1. Stock market increase came from and linked to their IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.
2. The other part of the ES came from multiple government stimulus handouts.

Once you factor in the downturn of the market YTD and remove the temporary government handouts there is virtually no increase in savings of the middle-class at all. And the same is even more true for the poor. Meaning…during COVID wealth was transferred from the poor and middle-class to the rich. And the majority of those who became newly rich (i.e. billionaires), 8 out of the top 16 were in China, and most of the total “newly rich” became rich off of COVID related services and products.

Remember my article yesterday regarding authoritarianism? Their goal…power and money.

Why is the middle-class so important? History has proven that it is the middle-class that becomes the heart and soul of a country. It is the center of morals, integrity, and keeps a country centered, stable, and balanced. Without the middle-class any/all countries fail and fall. But until they do…the middle-class is a direct threat to authoritarians (ruling elites).

Food Situation –

I will make this short and to the point…

1. Major sugar producers are now limiting exports. There is some indication that more than one may curtail all sugar exports.
2. India has already curtailed wheat exports, now they are considering limiting or stopping all rice exports as well. India is the #1 producer/exporter of rice in the world…40% of all global rice exports.
3. There are upwards of 12 countries that are now actively considering reducing or stopping food exporting.

We have entered very, very dangerous territory regarding a global food crisis. And the US is smack dab in the middle of it. Estimates are now between 100million to 200million are at risk globally for starvation in 2022. Do I believe those estimates? Kinda. Historically those numbers have been used as “scare tactics” but I am starting to see more and more potential that they may be right this time, at least to some degree.

War with Russia –

Truth be told this should be a larger category…”World War III”.

The US has continually prodded Russia into continuing, if not expanding, their attack/war on Ukraine. The latest development is the US announcement to send an advanced weapons system to Ukraine that is not just an offensive weapon, it is a weapon that can easily reach inside of Russia’s borders with deadly accuracy.

Personally I like to see the fight being taken to Russia and let them get a taste of the destruction war brings. But, is that a logical or even right thing to do? What will Russia’s response be to our escalation of our war with them? What will happen to the resolve of the Russian people when their homeland is attacked? Who will the Russian military blame for these forthcoming attacks on their soil? How will they react?

Then we have “Crazy Joe” now poking China in the eye and trying to provoke a war there. In the last few days he made the statement that the US would militarily defend Taiwan against an attack by China. That has never been the public foreign policy stance of the US. Granted, it has been the unspoken policy but that is far different in the world of sleazy foreign relations. China knows we back Taiwan with military aid, providing advanced weapons systems, training, etc. China always knew with some certainty that we would back Taiwan to one degree or another when China attacks Taiwan. But to take the US stance public, stating it in their backyard, is a direct military challenge to China.

China’s response? A show of military force on the sea and in the air as a direct challenge to “Crazy Joe” and his dare. China calling Biden’s bluff, showing they are not afraid of him or his dementia. Crazy Joe…the man that brings us one step closer to another war…one with a large and technologically advanced military. A military whose publicly released documents states that their intention is to replace us as the sole world’s power. Great job Crazy Joe!

Now I need you to remember what I have been saying for a very, very long time…”watch the other hand.” Meaning, while the focus is directed at one or more high-profile issues, keep an eye on what they try to do while we are not watching the other hand.

Notice how quiet North Korea and Iran are right now? Keep an eye on them, something is up and they won’t remain quiet much longer.

US Civil War II –

So the heart of the matter is simple…coming anti-2nd Amendment moves by the US federal government.

As we all know the authoritarians love a good crisis…the worse the crisis, the more dangerous the crisis, the deadlier the crisis, and the more media focused the crisis the better for the authoritarians. The Buffalo mass shooting of blacks fit that bill perfect because along with the “gun” aspect they also could dwell on the “race” aspect as well. Then the Uvalde school shooting…OMG that is the authoritarians ultimate crisis…not just “gun” but “children” as well!!

No, I am not downplaying either event or mocking either, I am referring to the authoritarians’ outcry directly.

So now you have a perfect confluence/convergence of events that allow the authoritarians to move against guns. And why are authoritarians so anti-gun…or more specifically anti-2nd Amendment? Because they know the sole purpose of the 2nd Amendment as designed by the Founding Fathers.

And the Founding Fathers designed the 2nd Amendment for a single purpose…to allow the people to throw off a tyrannical authoritarian federal government. They suffered under British tyranny, knew the face of authoritarianism, they knew all too well that eventually that same lust for power would creep into the United States. And we see that it clearly has, it is here, and getting worse by the day.

Our Founders showed us the way to deal with tyranny in the Declaration of Independence and the means to do so through the 2nd Amendment. And of course, the authoritarians have steadily diminished both over the years. Their goal? Remove any and all capability to resist tyranny and authoritarianism…yes, even the very desire to resist.

There has been a “bipartisan” committee formed in Congress to hammer out the next round of anti-2nd Amendment unconstitutional gun laws. And it is startling what they are considering. The more radical of the authoritarians want gun bans and confiscation. The more conservative of the authoritarians are willing to go along with banning high-capacity magazines, age restrictions, and broad and vague “Red Flag” laws. Even the most conservative authoritarians are willing to go along with many of the ideas being floated around. The authoritarians are not going to waste this crisis…they will enact more anti-2nd Amendment and unconstitutional laws…it is only a matter of to what degree…but chip away they will.

Anyone in Congress who votes in favor of any gun law can easily be identified as an “authoritarian”…plain and simple. Why else would they vote against rights guaranteed by the Constitution? Why else would they fly in the face of the Founding Fathers wisdom and experience?

Note: When you hear the term “bipartisan” just substitute “authoritarians working together“…which would be far more accurate and revealing.

And interestingly enough…

1. The shooter in Buffalo was well known by both law enforcement and mental health officials, both of which utterly failed to stop him even with plenty of advanced warning.
2. The shooter in Uvalde was well known to friends and co-workers by the nickname “school shooter”. And for as yet to be determined reasons, law enforcement delayed stopping the shooter for almost 1-1/2 hours. The school district police chief being the primary person who delayed stopping the carnage. But it was not on his shoulders alone…the first 7 law enforcement officers on-scene did not engage the shooter. This was in direct opposition of all protocols, all training, and all professional standards on dealing with active shooters. And the reason they gave for their lack of action…they “were afraid of being shot at”!!! What???? That’s part of their job, what they agreed to when they signed up, what they knew the job might entail. So is that the real reason they didn’t engage, especially in light of the police chief’s actions to not engage as well?
3. We know that due to the lack of action on the part of the responding officers in Uvalde children died.
4. We know that due to the decision of the police chief more Uvalde children died.
5. So in both cases, Buffalo and Uvalde, we apparently have the utter failure of law enforcement to do their job. Why, when it is so clear what they should have done, were trained to do, knew to do…did law enforcement fail so miserably and completely in both cases?
6. 65 people a month were shot and killed last year in Chicago, a city run by a radical left-wing authoritarian in a state run by a radical left-wing authoritarian. And where is the outrage, the DOJ investigations, the calls for reform? Huh, tell me where???
7. 15 shootings, 12 people killed last weekend in Philadelphia, a city run by a radical left-wing authoritarian in a state run by a radical left-wing authoritarian. And where is the outrage, the DOJ investigations, the calls for reform? Huh, tell me where???

What we do know for sure is…

1. Without these two back-to-back events there would be no unifying cry by authoritarians for gun control.
2. Without these two back-to-back events there would be no emotions running so high for the authoritarians to play on.
3. Never has there been a better opportunity for the authoritarians to further disarm US citizens…and they will.
4. The more radical elements of the authoritarians know that attempting a gun confiscation will start a shooting civil war. They also know that a gun sales freeze or an assault weapons ban would likely start a shooting civil war. In both cases they welcome the opening of a shooting civil war. Should that occur it would give authoritarians the perfect excuse/reason to impose the final phase of their plan for an authoritarian/totalitarian state. And they care not for the price paid in lives or the destruction of the Constitutional Republic. Again, they would welcome it.

The May 2022 SitRep will be, must be, delayed.

In the last 24 hours a number of extremely and critical issues came to light, one may be a huge game changer for the worse. I have not been able to vet any of the information sufficiently, and I must do so before including or excluding it from my “Answers” and “Summary” sections of the SitRep.

Also, due to the content of these issues I will have to increase size the last part of the SitRep. That being the case I will split it into two sections vs a final single section.

Finally, we are now in a long holiday weekend situation. Experience has shown me that there would be a notable drop in readership of the last two parts of the SitRep during the holiday period. So, the Part #3 is scheduled to come out on Tuesday and the final part (Part #4) will be posted on Wednesday…if all goes as expected.

One last note…with the things that are happening right this minute I am truly worried that I will miss something. And the level of events transpiring now…well, could change the face of everything as we know it. Please hang in there with me as I try to get my research done and my articles properly organized and worded. This is a make or break time period in the history of our country…we have to get this right.

Thank you,

AH

So did you read Part #1 of the May 2022 SitRep? If not, why would you want to read this Part #2?

So make sure you have read Part #1 and you should have also read the Pre-SitRep article as well.

Let’s continue with Part #2 of the May SitRep…

War with Russia –

You can call it a “proxy war” if you want, but, it is a full scale war that the US along with other NATO countries are waging in Ukraine right now against Russia…and we have been poking the Russian bear for years anticipating a war. And if you think for a minute that US Special Forces and CIA operatives aren’t actually in Ukraine…you are sadly mistaken. We are fighting a war with Russia right now…period. And yes, I know that Russia actually started the war not the US nor NATO. But, for some interesting reading try this out before going on (click here to read the article of the US meddling in Ukraine, toppling their government, and creating a very antagonizing neighbor for Russia)

And to make things really interesting…we have an incompetent, senile old man in the throes of dementia with his finger on our nuclear trigger. And on the other side we have a ruthless tyrant who is hell-bent on rebuilding the Russian Empire at virtually any cost. So it is a matter of which crazy man pulls the trigger first…and destroys mankind as we know it.

You know…if he was any other regular person he would be admitted into an assisted living facility or hospice. But, our country makes Joe Biden very comfortable with a luxurious house and his own 747 jet…along with the most sophisticated and powerful nuclear arsenal that could destroy the entire world into little more than cosmic dust. Kinda ironic don’t you think?

However, I am actually torn over the war in Ukraine situation. Russia must be stopped or their empire building goes unchecked. They are, on the face of it, an overwhelming force of evil going up against a country that should have crumbled in days. Russia’s campaign of utter destruction is clear, pervasive, and criminal. Ukraine’s resistance is nothing short of heroic and miraculous. As my wife and I sat watching the war wage on in the early days she said to me, “You want to go, don’t you?”

Fifteen years younger and I would have already been there. So my natural instinct drives me to help the Ukrainian people…but only personally. Our government should not be spending billions of dollars to fund that war. And where exactly will those billions come from? Oh, that’s right…thin air!! But, whose pockets does all that money end up in when we replace the equipment and weaponry we’ve sent to Ukraine?

It is Ukraine’s war taking place in Europe. Why does that make a difference? Well, I turn to two men who are far smarter, far wiser, with far more experience in these matters…George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Both of those Founding Fathers, the 1st & 3rd Presidents, knew the dangers and fatal errors associated with “alliances” and both warned against permanent entangling alliances that would drag us into wars. The United States has done a damn fine job of clearly and intentionally ignoring their advice and wisdom.

So I will go with Founding Father wisdom and state categorically that the United States government should not be involved in the war in Ukraine against Russia.

We have spent, or committed to spend, directly or indirectly, close to a total of $100billion dollars to aid Ukraine…so far. Look at it this way…the US federal budget deficit for 2022 will come in at about $2trillion. Our war aid to Ukraine will add another 5% to money that we don’t already have, so we borrow/print it, and we can never repay it…so, the Federal Reserve will simply add it to our debt. Another straw to our fiscal camel’s back.

All that being said…I would go there personally and help, as I would hope thousands of other trained veterans would. But the US government has no business being involved in a European war, let the Europeans fight and pay for their own war, they certainly could/can do it without our help…if they wanted to.

Why talk about this at all? Do you not remember my article that I posted just over a year ago regarding this? In that article I clearly made the case that the US is a war mongering country (click here to read that article)…and we are, it is factually true.

And there is a question that must be asked concerning that fact…”Why are we a war mongering country?”

Former President Eisenhower made it simple and clear nearly 65 years ago…the military-industrial complex. Large corporations make trillions of dollars off our lust for war. And as Eisenhower made indisputable, the “the immense military establishment” becomes more and more powerful the more war we wage.

And let’s not forget our past and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers…one of their biggest fears was a large and powerful standing army.

Ahhhhhh, what do we have today?

Once again the average US citizen is paying huge money to the military-industrial complex, lining their pockets, feeding their profits, buying them luxuries, and growing both their wealth and power. And all that as the country slips more and more into the fiscal abyss and the American middle-class disappears into oblivion.

Now, ask yourself this…

”To what end…Why does the US wage war, after war, after war, after war?” 

Well, my opinion, if you are interested, is this…the acquisition of power and money. Or rather the transfer of wealth and power from citizens to private corporations and power to the US federal government.

And one last tidbit for you…When we, the 13 Americans colonies, suffered under British tyranny the Red Coats (British Army) served as law enforcement. So think to yourself…Why were the Founding Fathers so concerned about a standing army?

2022 Election –

Let’s make this quick and easy. I have been asked multiple times and involved in more discussions than I wish to admit to concerning the upcoming 2022 election. So my position is clear…the outcome of the 2022 election is of no significant consequence of any kind to our country other than perhaps deception.

Why?

Let’s start out by me saying that I rely on historical facts and evidence. And, for this conversation either the Democrats maintain power in Congress or they don’t. If they do maintain power things continue to crash quickly and the US Empire collapses into a totalitarian state rather soon thereafter. If the Republicans take control of the House and/or Senate then the US Empire continues to crash into a totalitarian state…somewhat slower, but not much.

How so?

Simple, refer to history. When was the last time the Republicans did anything to restore the Constitution or the Republic…or even any rights, liberties, or freedoms? Let’s talk about Republican Presidents first:

• Trump – 2020 was the largest US federal deficit in US history, he weakened the 2nd Amendment through Executive Order, and he didn’t even support constitutional due process (i.e.CAF).
• Bush #2 – huge deficits, crashed the US economy, implemented socialist “fixes” to correct the economic crash, destroyed more rights, liberties, and freedoms than any other president in history with his actions taken post-9/11, and started two completely unneeded and costly wars.
• Bush #1 – lied to us, raised taxes, got us into multiple wars, and ran large budget deficits.
• Reagan – promised us that he would dismantle decadent federal bureaucracies but didn’t, and gave us large budget deficits on top of that.

How’s that for the last 40+ years of Republican Presidents? And the list goes on and on. But how about Republican controlled House and/or Senate?

Go ahead…give a rock solid example when a Republican controlled House and/or Senate did great things for the US! Which one gave us a balanced budget, reduced the national debt, restored rights, liberties, or freedoms…or did much of anything to repair/restore our Constitutional Republic? The only one that comes to mind is a Republican Congress giving us a balanced US federal budget and a budget surplus under President Clinton in the late 90’s. But they did nothing else to restore our Republic!

So no, if the Republicans take control of the House and/or Senate nothing of any significance will change…other than a minimal speed change at which America completes its fall into a totalitarian state.

Bottom line…the 2022 election means virtually nothing and will change virtually nothing. But I guarantee you this…it will create more hate, more rancor, more division, more chaos, and probably more violence.

And what did the #1Founding Father think of political parties and party politics?

So how do you feel…if you belong to a political party, toe the line on party politics, and find yourself having run afoul of George Washington?

US Civil War II –

How do I make sense of this subject…let alone write it coherently for publication. Best to start it off with my opinion clear, concise and to the point…

The United States Federal Government has declared war on citizens of the United States.

How’s that for to the point? Now, let me get to outlining the case to support my claim.

Let’s take the price of oil for just a minute…

Use the chart, explain the crisis that comes from killing the oil & gas industry.

So did you study the chart real well? Do you see all the products that the average US citizen uses every single day? How many of those uses are critical to a person’s life? Got that all put into your cranium?

So why did Joe Biden declare war on the oil & gas industry? Why did he close down oil pipelines? Why is the US government not approving new oil refineries? Why did his mentor Obama advise Biden to take these steps? Why has Biden virtually emptied the US’s strategic oil supply reserved for military purposes during wartime?

Oh, and try this one on…The White House made the tentative decision to open up the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve to address the diesel price and growing fuel shortage crisis, a White House official told CNN. Here is the interesting part of that…there is approximately 31million gallons of diesel fuel in that reserve. Here is the kicker…the US uses about 120million gallons of diesel fuel per day…or about 5million gallons of diesel fuel per hour. So why would Biden empty out another national fossil fuel reserve supply for about 6 hours of truck driving?

Yet another crisis to be created by the US Federal government.

OK, time to move on to the next item of business, a really important item…

In early May President Biden called former President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement the “most extreme” group in recent US history. As defined by Biden, MAGA refers to Republicans in general, and conservatives more specifically…more to the point, anyone who doesn’t support Biden and the radical left agenda.

In purely objective terms…how is the MAGA crowd extreme?

Yeah, some of them are a little weird, and the shaman is really a kook, but they are for the most part just political zealots committed to their party’s, or at least Trump’s, ideology. So describe them as ideologues for sure, perhaps zealots, but not hardly extremists by in large.

In the following days after Biden’s outlandish claim the press reported incident after incident where Biden called MAGA a threat, extreme, dangerous, etc. And of course the media jumped in there to support the radical Progressive/Liberal attacks driving home the point of how extreme the MAGA crowd is…and how it jeopardizes our democracy.

Interesting to note how often the media refers to, or claims, the USA a democracy. Thankfully it was designed and founded as a Constitutional Republic. Sure, we’ve changed…

Oh, now I get why the media and most politicians refer to the USA as a democracy!

Why would Biden, in regards to MAGA supporters, make the claim of “extremism” so many times and so clearly with the support of the media echoing his words? The “given” answer by the political pundits is…multiple focus groups found that “MAGA” had negative connotations amongst the majority of voters. So the pundits say that the MAGA claims/attacks are simply a political move. I simply say, NOT SO!

The key is in Biden’s use of the words “extremism” and “extremists”…and it is very, very important to understand his specific language.

June 15, 2021 the White House issued a “fact sheet” called “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism”. The wording in that fact sheet defined domestic terrorism. And, if you guessed that “extremist” was the cornerstone of that definition you would 100% correct.

But don’t think that is anything new. Back in 2015 the FBI working with DHS listed who they thought were not just extremists but potential domestic terrorists as well. According to the FBI and DHS there are 188 ways for them to identify potential domestic terrorists. Some indicators are, anyone who:

• opposes illegal immigration,
• thinks the government is too big and too powerful,
• believes there are political elitists,
• believes that the Federal Reserve is illegitimate,
• supports the Second Amendment,
• protests against taxes,
• prepares for emergencies or disasters,
• wants the government to strictly abide by the Constitution,
• criticizes the federal government,
• is anti-abortion,
• is a military veteran.

And the list goes on and on and on for another 177 red flags to link a US citizen to terrorism! And the reason for that is???????

So let’s throw in one more dot to connect to all of this, just for clarification and background info…

Back in the early fall of 2021 President Biden, via the Department of Justice, directed the FBI to investigate parents who voiced objections to critical race theory at school board meetings…and label those parents as domestic terrorists. In early October 2021 Attorney General Garland ordered, via letter, FBI agents to do just that…using the specific wording of “threats of violence”…read terrorist by DHS’s own definition. Then…

Later in October while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on oversight of the Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland denied claims that the Justice Department (DOJ) would label parents as domestic terrorists or related investigations as terrorism. Which directly contradicted the wording in his letter to FBI agents had directed the FBI agents to do. Then in November 2021 an FBI whistleblower provided documents to Congress proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the FBI did in-fact label investigations into parents who voiced objection to critical race theory at school board meetings with domestic terrorism tags and labels.

So we have the President of the United States, the US Attorney General, and the FBI:

1. Conspiring to illegally, and ludicrously label regular US parents, mostly moms, as domestic terrorists,
2. Lying to Congress and the American people about it,
3. Attempting to cover-up their actions,
4. And then being proven that they actively and intentionally conspired to subvert the Constitution of the United States.

Huuuuummmmmm…I wonder why???????

So now the last piece and the most vital/significant point…why use “extremism”, “terrorism”, “domestic terrorist”, etc. in reference to MAGA folks, Trump supporters, preppers, school board attendees, Republicans, Conservatives, etc.?

Because when federal law enforcement agencies label investigations into potential domestic terrorism they have HUGE leeway in negating legal and Constitutional restrictions on investigations. And worse of all…it virtually eliminates constitutional rights of any kind for anyone targeted as domestic, or potential domestic, terrorists.

And if you read my “Pre-SitRep” article earlier this week (click here to read) then you understand why these terms and actions by federal law enforcement agencies are so vital for this current phase of the US government’s agenda. But, it is truly critical for the next phase of the US Government’s agenda.

And once you have removed any last vestiges of Constitutional rights then the last nail is pounded into place for America being a tyrannical power, Banana Republic, totalitarian state, or any other term along those lines. And, a totalitarian state is the ultimate goal of the US federal government and those in power behind it…total authoritarianism…absolute power…complete subversion of the US Constitution.

Did that sink in?

Now, just to make sure I am not smoking up your skirt…take a second and think of all the comments made by Democrat politicians, even some Republican politicians, the Biden White House, federal law enforcement agencies, and the media regarding the “right”, conservatives, MAGA, Trump and his supporters, deplorables, etc. Just a reality check…what was the first words out of the mouths of Dems regarding the mass shooting in Buffalo? “White supremacy!” Why? The #1 label to identify domestic terrorism is white supremacy. And the mass shooting was done with what kind of weapon? You have part of  their agenda figured out by now…and unarmed population is powerless against the imposition of tyranny. Kinda why the Founding Fathers wanted no standing army, wanted militias, and made sure that the 2nd Amendment was clearly spelled out.

So tell me again why the US Federal Government demonizes, prosecutes, and seeks to eliminate any and all militias?

The US federal government has declared war on citizens of the United States…and they are using every tool in their arsenal to win. They will demonize, then investigate, then prosecute, and then imprison anyone who opposes the unchecked power of the US federal government. And if that doesn’t work…well, just review the history of the FBI: Ruby Ridge Killings, Waco Massacre, Finnicum Ambush & Murder, etc.

And then of course there is the US government’s right to outright kill US citizens…and is proven to be 100% true based on their own words (click here to read that information).

Yes, the US Civil War II has officially started and publicly acknowledged…as per Biden, DOJ, DHS, the FBI, and all the rest of them. But don’t think any federal law enforcement agency has been left out! Georgetown Law Center on Privacy & Technology just released a report that took two years to complete. In that report it revealed that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under DHS) has crafted a sophisticated surveillance dragnet designed to spy on anyone in the United States, without the need for warrants and circumventing state privacy laws. Yup, even ICE is in on it!!

And if you think you are protected from government spying on you…a top executive of NSO – Pegasus (#1 producer of mobile phone spyware used by governments and corporations all over the world) stated they can turn on/off phones, turn on/off cameras and microphones, and gather every single piece of any kind of information off any cell phone whenever they want…without the user ever knowing it. But that is not the important part! They said the NSA makes their spyware look like child’s play…whether it is a cell phone, computer, or any other electronic device.

And one last little tidbit in this section… In April the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the creation of the “Disinformation Governance Board.”

So let’s think about this…the largest federal law enforcement agency creates, on their own, an internal agency and gives it the mission to identify, investigate, and prosecute any organization or individual it solely deems, to have produced or quoted disinformation or misinformation.

Did you get that? And to make matters even worse…as the Chief of this new agency they put a certifiable whack job in charge. Gee, I wonder why they did that!?!

Let me bring it into more clarification…a federal agency not authorized by the Constitution is now perusing people who do have a right of free speech under the Constitution.

One more time…DHS (a US federal government department NOT authorized by the Constitution) is placed in charge of investigating and imprisoning anyone it finds guilty of a right -freedom of speech- that is protected by the US Constitution.

If that is not clear enough for everyone to understand, without any doubt or question, the US federal government is currently implementing one of the final stages of totalitarianism…well, I just don’t have a clue what could possibly be more clear!

And yes, I know that it was officially announced that this has been “paused” and the new chief resigned. However, the only pause is who is in charge (i.e. the chief resigned). Nothing else has been paused…nothing! Everything else is moving forward, it has just gone semi-dark for now to avoid the spotlight and to act more covertly against citizens of the United States.

And here is what should frighten you to your very core…not only is DHS not a constitutionally authorized federal government department:

1. No legal authority was cited for the creation of this new sub-agency,
2. DHS created this “board” without the approval of Congress or anyone else other that Biden,
3. No definition of misinformation or disinformation was provided,
4. No mission statement was provided,
5. No organization or leadership chart was provided,
6. No investigative or arrest or prosecution boundaries were provided,
7. No limitations on it powers or authority were provided.

So this HUGE law enforcement agency identifies you as a disseminator of disinformation (or its cute cousin “misinformation”) in one of the 188 categories that identifies potential domestic terrorists…what happens?

Well, if you are identified as such…you have virtually NO constitutional rights to fall back on…period!

What do you think…turn preppers, conservatives, basically 1/2 of the country, into potential domestic terrorists. What kind of government would do such a thing?

Seriously…what kind of freaking government would do that to its own citizens!?!?!?!? Well, I know.

I am sure that you have probably thought about Civil War II, you probably have seen the US federal government acting tyrannically, and undoubtedly you have seen the criminality and corruption at every level and in every corner of the federal government. But, I am telling you now, without reservation, it is now a civil war. They know it, they have started it, and they have only one goal…to win. And they will do anything to anyone whenever they can to accomplish that goal.

But is US Civil War II really the right label? Maybe not. I submit to you “revolution” may be far more accurate. The US Federal Government is revolting against the US Constitution, revolting against the Bill of Rights, and ultimately revolting against its own citizenry.

The Great United States Federal Government Revolution…yeah, that sounds more realistic and factual.

Put it to the test…ask these questions:

• Why else would the US government, politicians, corporations, educational institutions, media, etc. all be playing different groups of people against other groups creating hate, discontent, and discord?
• Why would those groups involve virtually everyone in our country…pitting them against each other?
• Why would they identify 1/2 the country as potential domestic terrorists, and even identify political opponent supporters as extremists?
• Why would they declare war on the oil & gas industry that provides vital and life saving products to the US?
• Why would they wage endless wars?
• Why would they empty the country’s strategic oil reserve?
• Why would they empty the country’s strategic diesel fuel reserve?
• Why would they run-up a national debt that they know full well that it can never repay?
• Why would they take to themselves the right to have a “kill list” for American citizens?
• Why would they…why would they…why would they…

For me it is clear…crystal freaking clear. Now, it’s up to you to answer the hard questions. And don’t get caught up in the fluff…the powder puff junk…the easy answers…the comfort zone crap. Come up with the real answers…the hard answers…the truth.

I will finish up this SitRep tomorrow…see you then!

Sorry for the latest delay. I was planning on this coming out on Monday but I was doing editing and realized I was at almost 20 pages in my Word document, and some 8000 words. That was simply too long of an article, I can’t imagine anyone, including myself, being able to read an article that long. So I cut the most logical information out and made a separate “pre-SitRep” article. And let me tell you…you gotta read that article before you read this SitRep. If you already read the article it might even be a good idea to read it again. Understanding the concepts, ideas, and thoughts I put forward is critical…but, not as critical as the opinion/view you form after having read that article. (click here to read that article: Pre-SitRep)

So Monday was spent was preparing that article for publication. And, I was also working on our latest community project…a water trailer. The trailer actually performs several functions; 1) water trailer to move water from wells to a home for those without a well, 2) water our roads while we work on them, 3) a working platform to fight wildland fire, 4) a resource for fighting a structure fire. A neighbor provided the trailer, some of the equipment, and money for the rest of the stuff. I am doing the work. Monday I started that project, yesterday kept working on it, and I made a run to town for more parts. So that has kept me a bit busy vs editing the SitRep.

Then this morning…practicing what I preach…I put in my strawberry patch. I will post an article on that project over in the “Homestead” section hopefully by the end of the week. After I did that my wife and I had a serious 1-hour long budget discussion out on our porch. We reviewed every aspect of our income and expenses in light of this horrific economic crisis that the government has created. We are making some significant changes to how we do business with our family money. You and your family might want to think about having that same discussion, if you haven’t already. I suggest you might challenge every aspect of how you spend your money (i.e. and what you spend it on) and look for ways to bring in more money into your situation.

Now…my SitRep is still way to long, about 5500 words and 14 pages…way, WAY too long. And once editing is complete it will probably grow by another 500 – 1000 words. And then I put in the graphics…well, it would take you days just to download the article and weeks to read it. OK, maybe not that long…but you get my drift. So I am going to cut the SitRep into three parts and post them on successive days. That way it comes to you in smaller bites. Oh, and if you don’t like what I have to say in the first part…then you don’t have to waste your time reading the second and third parts! See, I am always thinking about you guys and your mental well-being 🙂

On with the SitRep…

First off…take note that I have linked a lot of previous articles as they relate to issues/items that I am speaking to today. Please take advantage of the “Related Articles” at the end of this post.

So much has been happening since the “more” posting I made in early March…and I have been earnestly monitoring the world’s current affairs. For the record…I want to throw up! It simply makes me sick to see everything that is being done by all those in power, especially the US federal government. And you can see every single day some other crap they are pulling on us…to destroy us. Yes, I mean that literally…to destroy us…that was not a figure of speech or a metaphor. They are intentionally destroying us one piece at a time, one demographic at a time, one dollar at a time…and they are no longer hiding their agenda.

I haven’t written much lately…why? You have seen, and are seeing, world events, and events right here in the USA, unfold for yourselves. And you being a regular website reader…none of it should have surprised you, confused you, or scared you. You should have taken in the information you are seeing and made moves and plans accordingly. I was not, am not, going to be part of the “fear porn” or “click bait” article avalanche that has been taking place among many other prepper websites. Whack jobs have also been writing about everything from the WHO taking away country’s sovereignty to…well, fill in the blank. The worst of the articles and videos have been the “top five/ten/twenty” things to “BUY NOW!” crap.

So, I have been watching, investigating, researching, and waiting. And now is the time for me to write about it. I hope you find value in it, I hope it allows you to make better/quicker/more-informed decisions going forward…because you need to.

Areas that will be covered:

• Personal Update
• Economy
• War with Russia
• 2022 Election
• US Civil War II
• The fall of the US Empire
• Answers, DAMN IT!
• Summary

Personal Update –

As you read this part think about it in terms of how it might apply to you and what might it bring to mind that you can do. Kinda like a memory jogger, or tick list, etc.

Since last fall I started getting really serious about better preparing our little homestead/farmstead place of safety for what is happening in the world and of what will only get worse. And man have I been putting in the hours. In the last two months I’ve completely assessed, consolidated, and refined our long-term and medium-term food storage. I touched each item and did a massive rearrangement of all of it to make it more functional, but mostly more accessible and usable. In the process I calculated 3 things; 1) using our current diet how long would our food storage last, 2) cutting back a little on our diet -a little uncomfortable- how long would it last, 3) cutting back significantly how long would it last, 4) what would be the best area to focus on to relieve some of the discomfort (food fatigue) of eating a reduced diet based on our long-term food storage.

I won’t share with you the results of 1 – 3 for security purposes, but I will share with you the results of #4. I expanded our orchard to include apple, peach, and cherry trees; basically tripling the number of trees. Yes, that is a longer-term project before we can eat the fruit thereof. But, at some point we will reap the benefits either through nutritious food to eat that we produced ourselves, or a more valuable piece of property that we can sell when we get too old to stay here.

The other action item that came out of #4 was a garden. I was not planning on having a garden this year, simply too much else going on and too many other things to do. But, as I reviewed everything at the 60,000 foot level I realized that a garden would be critical if the food crisis in the country/world continues to worse. First thing that got planted…herbs. Next came strawberries. Herbs for flavor, strawberries for nutrition and enjoyment. This time next year, if all goes well, we should have quadrupled our strawberry patch through the staking of runners.

I also went after our pantry (i.e. short-term to medium-term) food storage. We took out each can, checked the date and condition of each can, and then used some organizers and logic to better make use of our pantry space. It became obvious that we were missing some items and we quickly resolved that problem. And most of all, we cured our date rotation issues with the organizers.

Then last month I started on the general prepper item stuff. First came our items to protect us from Violence. Yes, I follow my own advice concerning the 7 Common Risks/Threats of emergencies, disasters, and grid-down (click here to read about this subject). But, if you caught that I did food storage first, which is #7 on the list, there is a good reason. My wife and I decided to convert our food storage room located in our house into a bedroom with bunk beds. We felt the urgent need to do so allowing us to bring in several more people into our home if/when needed…and using it to welcome the occasional visitor. And that task fit into our larger reorganization plan of all our preps but mostly regarding food storage, so that area came first.

Back to the anti-violence preps…again, I touched each item, evaluated its part in our plan, assessed its condition, updated its storage situation, and was pleasantly surprised that we are in good condition in this respect.

I subsequently reviewed all other areas of our preps and while comfortable with our prepping in general, I did find some areas lacking. For instance, we now have 11 fruit trees in our small orchard, we expanded our gardening plans for this year, we acquired some additional tractor equipment, and coolest of all…we bought a Polaris MV7. And for those of you that don’t know what that is…it is a Polaris ATV with a 683cc engine, winch front and rear, steel racks front/rear, heftier suspension, can carry 450 lbs, and tow 1500 lbs, dual gas tanks (9gal capacity)…well, you get the idea. A beast!

Why that purchase? First of all it was a smoking hot deal. I had done some solar system work (i.e. built his system) and it was partial payment. And where we have our homestead it is a very useful tool. And yes, lots of fun too!! My wife loves for us to go on rides out into the wide open spaces. Do not forget to have some fun now and then!

Now, I practice what I preach…I have also been helping a neighbor redo his entire water system from his wellhead to his house, used my tractor to prep another neighbor’s garden space, built a driveway for another neighbor, helped prep a home spot for another neighbor, disc’d a large field for another neighbor, worked on our community’s roads (private, unmaintained roads), helped build a horse corral for another neighbor, rebuilt an existing solar system for another neighbor…well, you get the idea. You see, in our community we help each other a lot!

So what does all that mean? While monitoring what has been happening in the world, I’ve been busting my butt trying to help our community for what is here. Yes, you read that right…not “what is coming” but “what is here”. And ensuring that we too are better prepared coz it is getting worse quickly.

Now, that I have all that out of the way, justifying my lack of postings, I also see where it is time that I share my assessment of what is happening and what is to come.

Economy –

Let’s start out with the easy one…inflation. For starters the way the government calculates inflation changed in the 1990’s. They changed that calculation because it always showed higher numbers (worse inflation conditions) than they want us to see and they knew what was coming in future decades. And a big reason…they wanted to save money on COLA increase to SS, welfare benefits, and pension recipients, etc. So they redid the inflation calculation methodology. And they no longer use the change in price of food and gasoline in core inflation figures. So when you hear the government state that inflation is only 8% it is easily double or triple that when you put food and fuel into the equation and use the 1990 standards.

If they used the same calculation method they did in the 1990’s…well, inflation would be more than double what they say it is today, probably triple. Yup, that means core inflation would be in the area of 23% – 26% or more! And that sounds far more realistic to the average person than the junk figures that the US government is lying about.

And yes, in case you were wondering, they did the same with unemployment figures. So based on 1990’s calculations the unemployment rate would be about double what they show today. And let’s not forget that the government also now excludes people who are unemployed and who have stopped looking for work.

More info…About two weeks ago the numbers came out for home foreclosures…they are up 132%

More info…The last quarter of 2021 showed the highest level of unpaid credit cards bills…EVER!

More info…Stock market is down 13% year-to-date.

And dingbats who invested in Bitcoin have seen a 40% drop from 1/2/2022 – 5/12/2022. I told you for a very long time…crypto currency is not anything that you want to be invested in! And is a horrible, terrible, worthless prepper item (click here to read more about that). And FYI…the IRS stated earlier this year that they track crypto-currency, each transaction, and they know exactly who each owner is. Gotta Love It!!! Eh?

FYI earlier this month…Cryptocurrency exchange FTX’s founder has said that bitcoin has no future as a payments network and criticized the digital currency. And also reported that over $200billlion of crypto wealth was wiped out in a matter of hours earlier this month as it plunged in value, people fleeing in panic.

A key expert in economic matters warned only days ago, “…the U.S. is in the largest bubble of our lifetime and it’s going to burst as the Federal Reserve is going to suck liquidity out of the system.” And remember, the Federal Reserve is NOT authorized by the US Constitution but is used by the US government to control the US economy.

Bottom line…as we all know it…the economy is a complete and total wreck. And there is no plan, no idea, and no hope that it is going to recover to anything we will ever recognize again…EVER!

Well, other than the planned destruction of our economy and entire economic system that is skillfully being carried out quite successfully by the US federal government in cooperation with the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world.

Interesting to look at…every single action the US federal government and the Federal Reserve takes to “fix” the economy only makes our overall economic situation worse…far, FAR worse. Gee, I wonder why that is???

Food Situation –

Here is a great list of thoughts…

• Russia is the world’s #1 exporter of fertilizer.
• China is the world’s #2 exporter of fertilizer.
• Russia and China account for 1/4 of all exported fertilizer in the world.
• From 2019 – 2020 the total exports of the world’s fertilizer producers fell by 6%…without any major crisis issues coming up like the Ukraine/Russian war.
• Many large scale farmers are paying about 4 times for fertilizer this year over last year.
• Feed bills for livestock producers have more than doubled in many cases.
• Last year Russia was the #1 wheat exporter in the world, Ukraine was #5. Together they account for over 30% of the world’s top 8 wheat producers.
• India, world’s # 8 wheat exporter, just announced recently that it will suspend all wheat exports to secure its own food supply. That means 35% of all the world’s wheat exports are suspended or non-existent going forward.
• Along with 35% of all wheat exports jeopardized…the costs of growing wheat has skyrocketed due to fertilizer and fuel costs…along with every other aspect of inflation.

Oh, screw it…you know what is happening with food production/supply in the world and here in the USA! Just be aware of how tenuous the situation is…and the high likelihood that it is going to get worse…potentially much, much worse…as planned.

One thing/crisis/issue/disaster could bring utter chaos, maybe collapse, of the world’s food supply. Let that sink in for a minute.

Tomorrow comes the next installment of this SitRep…stay tuned!

Earlier this week I mentioned I would be posting a SitRep towards the end of the week. However, several pieces of additional information came to my attention. I am taking a little more time to verify the info and just ensure that they are accurate and apply to what I will be sharing. That being said…the SitRep will be delayed until early next week.
