Preparing for the WORST of times?

What follows is a mixed bag of health, thrift and self sufficiency related thoughts and commentary – much of which might have to do with your ability to provide your own healthy food for cooking, storing and of course – eating.

Other items could bring you general piece of mind with the ability just to prepare for uncertain times. HEY besides all of that – look at the enjoyment and ability to interact with other members of your family – MOST of which should bring some enjoyment and once again – peace – ALL of which will contribute to YOUR good health! ~ Ed.

Thrift stores, yard sales, and army surplus stores can be rich hunting grounds for preppers. Often, you can find items that are normally unattainable, such as out of print books and well-maintained hand tools at surprisingly cheap prices. Just be careful of overpaying for items considered collectibles or antique.

It is important to arm yourself with knowledge before purchasing items at yard sales and thrift stores. Not every item is a bargain: important parts may be missing, or prices may be too high for a used and abused item. Look for quality items that will give years of use. Fortunately, the internet makes research easy, even on the go. ~ L.S.F.

Common Sense in a Senseless World traces Sowell’s journey from humble beginnings to the Hoover Institution, becoming one of this era’s greatest economists, political philosophers, and prolific authors. Hosted by Jason Riley, a member of “The Wall Street Journal” editorial board, this one-hour program features insights from Sowell and interviews with his close friends and associates, revealing why the intensely private Thomas Sowell is considered by many to be “one of the greatest minds of the past half-century” and “the smartest person in the room.”

As a not-so-new dissident, if I’m ever arrested, I think I’ll ask them to designate me as “Prisoner 282” after the fashion of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn … HahaHaHaHa … but any of us who resist these new age Communists must maintain the greatest pressure possible upon them. As counter-intuitive as it may seem and as ugly as it looks, the soldiers, barricades and razor wire inside Washington, D.C. works to the advantage of those of us who love this country, since the Commies inside this newly formed armed camp will eventually burn through their emotional and political capital and begin to make bigger mistakes. They fear Conservative America, and the longer they hide behind soldiers and barriers, the easier it becomes for Us to become ungovernable, so long as any government seeks to abrogate our Bill of Rights and our Inalienable God-Given Rights.

I’ve never actually read “1984” myself, but by scouring Twitter I was able to piece this together. So please enjoy what I assume is the classic novel “1984.”

It was a really bad time. The place? America. The year? 1984. Everything was, like, very bad. Only one man dared to defy the establishment. His name was Orwell. Orwell Jones. And this is his really dark story about how bad things can get in America. Yes, that’s right, the very same America you live in. You see, in 1984, free thought was banned – and Orwell had learned that lesson the hard way. Continue reading →

“You have such a fervent, passionate, evangelical faith in this country… why in the name of God don’t you have any faith in the system of government you’re so hell-bent to protect? You want to defend the United States of America, then defend it with the tools it supplies you with – its Constitution. You ask for a mandate, General, from a ballot box. You don’t steal it after midnight, when the country has its back turned.” ~ Seven Days in May (1964)

No doubt about it: the coup d’etat was successful.

That January 6 attempt by so-called insurrectionists to overturn the election results was not the real coup, however. Those who answered President Trump’s call to march on the Capitol were merely the fall guys, manipulated into creating the perfect crisis for the Deep State – a.k.a. the Police State a.k.a. the Military Industrial Complex a.k.a. the Techno-Corporate State a.k.a. the Surveillance State – to swoop in and take control.

It took no time at all for the switch to be thrown and the nation’s capital to be placed under a military lockdown, online speech forums restricted, and individuals with subversive or controversial viewpoints ferreted out, investigated, shamed and/or shunned.

This new order didn’t emerge into being this week, or this month, or even this year, however… Continue reading →

We have spent a lot of time going back and forth about what our enemies in the Democrat Party are attempting to do. Make no bones about it gang, they are in no way any sort of loyal opposition. They are the enemy of all things American. They continue not only to support the downright evil policy of murdering and dismembering unborn babies in the womb, disproportionately those of minorities (genocide anyone?) but they also support the admission of mentally/emotionally disturbed males into female locker rooms to sexually prey on under age children.

The clear message behind the stunning crackdown on conservatives is: Conform or else.

In the wake of the Capitol riot and the immediate and frequently over-the-top condemnation of President Donald Trump and his supporters, social media giants Twitter and Facebook began purging conservatives. The first to go was the president himself, but now the dominoes are falling. Big Tech platforms colluded to eliminate a competitor, Parler. Anyone suspected of being right-of-center is on the chopping block. Continue reading →

The Purge Is On!

A new ‘MIAC report’ targeting Trump supporters is taking shape.

In 2009, the establishment panicked after a secret list was leaked showing the Missouri State Highway Patrol was under orders to suspect conservative motorists of domestic terrorism. Continue reading →

It is curious to find that so many of our countrymen choose to accept tyranny, because, for the moment, it seems to be the more simple and comfortable path. Fighting for their freedom and individual liberty might disrupt the apple cart too much and get to messy, especially if it does come down to a hot battle, with lead flying in all directions, where one is likely to see numerous disruptions in goods and services and utilities.

… Here is How It Needs To Change NOW

The task before us is to continue to be the one nation in history where any person, regardless of their standing at birth, can make anything of themselves.

It’s been a tough week for our country. Violence has no place in our American political system, and we’re all in agreement that the events that played out on Capitol Hill this week were unacceptable.

There are many in the media who are eager to blame Republicans for the events that transpired. And there are many in our party who are eager to blame President Trump both for the violence in Washington and for the results of the senate elections in Georgia.

But you know what? If that’s all we get out of this, our future will be no different than our past.

There are a lot of Americans whose frustration has been building for many years. Republicans have had opportunities to fix our healthcare system, reform immigration, and get our fiscal house in order, among many other things. Republicans have had chances to deliver for the American people. But we haven’t followed through. Continue reading →

If not us, who? If not now, when? Conservatives must step up to the challenge.

It was dusk as I led our squad into the little village several kilometers north of the Marine base at Phu Bai, South Vietnam. This was a new area for us to patrol. As I entered the village, I came upon a villager squatting by the hedges surrounding some huts. He had been looking the other way when I came up to him and he was startled when he saw me. I tried to assure him I meant no harm.

Yet, in less than two minutes, he and two Viet Cong regulars were dead and my heart was both in my throat and beating wildly in my chest. It was not my first combat experience, but it was the first up this close. I saw the two armed Viet Cong, then noticed the “farmer.” I started backing away as he tried to pull a grenade out from under his shirt. My training kicked in. When it was over, three enemy were dead and I was alive. I spent days wondering, “What if?” I saw the danger this time. What about the next time? Continue reading →

The man sat quietly at the desk in thought. Outside the rain droned steadily against the windows.

His features had been chiseled noticeably deeper over the past five years and the weight of it all pushed down on his shoulders. He was tired but would never admit or show it.

As he glanced around the room his thoughts were moving back and forth like Newton’s Cradle.

First, to the history he was surrounded by, then to what the future would look like, then to the present, and back and forth. He placed his hands on the old wooden desk and pushed himself into the large leather chair. Continue reading →

The quick and thorough crushing of political discourse shows how protecting children could be done.

As the boiling pot of politics in the U.S. roils, Americans have been shown one more massive example of selective application of standards in the area of Big Tech and free speech. Parler, a social media app, was completely canceled based on its content and audience. Amazon, the multinational tech company known for online shopping and the “world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform,” announced on January 10 that Parler’s access to the AWS Internet server would be discontinued. Billed as “unbiased social media,” where users are able to “speak freely and express yourself openly without fear of being deplatformed for your views,” Parler was booted from the Internet entirely because Amazon, Apple, and Google colluded to kill a competitor.

With tyranny rising even among the citizenry, what’s a Liberty-loving man to do?

Recently, a group of friends and I visited a local grocery store to stock up on emergency supplies. While walking around the rather large and open warehouse, a store employee approached us, lecturing us about wearing our masks properly. Her eyes filled with this gleeful sense of authority. It was almost as if she looked forward to the encounter.

Unwilling to budge until we complied, I put on a mask, only for it to break. Already prepared, the employee pulled out a new mask for me to wear. I put that on only for it to also break. The now irritated drill sergeant then pulled out her PA radio and called another employee to request a face shield. She would have been any store manager’s dream, but people like this are a nightmare in the midst of this pandemic. Continue reading →

The Gathering Clouds…

For weeks now i have been hearing about how Biden will not be inaugurated on January 20th and how Trump will turn the tables on the deep state and have all the traitors arrested that day and will still be president for another four years. I have gotten this narrative from multiple sources. Continue reading →

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by one-party rule, or a dictatorship ….. [or an Absolute Democrat Monarchy!”] (multiple author version)

On January 20th, 2021 President-elect Joe Biden will give his Inaugural Address to the nation under the backdrop of 25,000 troops protecting the city against ….. what? His speech will be full of platitudes, clichés, bromides, promises, propaganda, lies and a hollow call for unity. It will be punctuated by the need to spend trillions of American taxpayer dollars on pays offs to constituents, Climate Change, the Green New Deal and provide amnesty for illegal aliens. Instead of unity, the speech will widen the division between the rich and poor, white, black, Latinos and Asians, man and woman, gay and straight, religious and non-religious, gun owner and non-gun owner.

Speaker Pelosi’s allegation made during her last week’s interview on CBS “60 Minutes” (it was aired last Sunday) that the protesters who entered the Capitol in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, “have chosen their whiteness over democracy” was a blatantly racist statement. Among its other evil implications, it insinuated that something was profoundly wrong with being white while not trying to denounce it. It communicated, however implicitly, a need for discrimination against white people.

For those who can’t see the blatant racism in Pelosi’s allegation, imagine a high government official stating: “They [the protesters] chose their blackness over democracy” during the BLM violent riots in 2020, and all the hell that broke lose after such a statement. Continue reading →

…and WE are stuck in the middle!

As I look back over the so-called “insurrection” and all the censorship and moves being made towards more infringements upon our Bill of Rights, it is all so apparent that America is witnessing the end of their freedom and liberty being implemented at lightening quick speed, by a Democratic Party power machine so afraid of ever losing power again, that it is now prepared to set mechanisms in place, that essentially guarantee their lock on power, unless Conservative Americans reach down deep in their gut and do what so many fear to do.
