WEALTH

There’s lots of teeth gnashing and pointed fingers lately over the profligate spending of our current Globalist government, which has increased our national debt by a whopping $7 Trillion since the start of 2022 and the inflation this has caused. Soaring prices have wiped out over $5 Trillion in personal wealth of Americans over the past 5 months according to Liberty Nation News.

Inflation reduces the value of the currency so when you have to pay $10 for things that recently cost you only $5, your wealth in cash has just been reduced by half. Your pension fund is now half of what it was, your set monthly retirement checks are suddenly only half of what they were.

The wealth loss by the end of this year is expected to at least nearly double to $9 Trillion, literally all of it being lower dollar value/higher costs. Two sides of the same coin, a good thing to remember because not all wealth is in currency.

What you own has increased in value. Regardless of what you may need to buy, or how many dollars you have, your real wealth is literally in what you have already bought, along with what you can create. That’s because for all of us, our wealth is created through labor.

The time has come to figure out what you can do to create the sort of wealth that will keep you warm and fed when most people are cold and starving. As a First World nation, our decline may be slower than the Third World nations, but I wouldn’t count on that too much. Really poor people mostly have agrarian societies, they grow their own food, weave their own cloth that they make from the hair of their animals and the fibers of plants they cultivate, and their average income may be a couple of dollars a day.

There are villages in Mexico where the people live in huts of mud bricks, have no running water, toilets or electricity, and Mexico is right next door. Who do you think will be seen as having the most wealth when our factories close, there’s no jobs, no work, the money is nearly worthless and the store shelves are bare? What do you suppose will happen to the tens of thousands of homeless in Los Angeles alone? They’ll do anything they can to get food and the drugs they’re addicted to, and I foresee the streets of Los Angeles running red with blood as vigilante groups start fighting back and killing these people off, the National Guard roaming the streets, everything shut down, rats spreading diseases. Oh, a fine time for all is guaranteed. Look ahead. This is just starting.

Forget about your dollars. Start generating real wealth in the real world that’s about to land SMACKO on your front porch. Food and the means to make more food, and start making, or learn to make, anything that people would trade for food. Be smart, don’t knit teapot cozies, make really useful stuff. Can you concoct gunpowder? Do you have a supply of lead and can make bullets? Do reloading of different calibers? Have an inventory of veggie seeds? With a garden and a water supply you can generate new seeds each Fall that will be great trade goods for food now, or other things.

Kerosene and lamps? Matches? Think about a world with no electricity. Do you keep bees? Beeswax used to be the only kind there was to make candles with and it still works fine. Honey is very edible and the bees do most of the work. Live in or near woods? Do you have small game traps? Furs are warm in winter, do you know how to prepare hides? it’s time to think ahead. True wealth is in what you have and what you can do with it to provide for yourself and your family. It always has been, it’s just the situation that’s changing. Being an accountant, clerk or factory worker may not have much value before long. Get some new skills.

STAYING HEALTHY

A few more things that should be mentioned regarding the need to store food away for the impending massive shortages are iodized salt, OTC medications, antibiotics and vitamins. A large bottle of your preferred pain/headache pills, some iodine, alcohol, peroxide, allergy meds, an OTC inhaler, bandaids and so forth to make up a well-stocked First Aid kit will be worth it’s weight in gold.

Have at least a supply of one-a-day multivitamins if you don’t want to stock up on a range of stuff like the B vitamins, D, etc. and also remember your teeth and what they may need in the future.

How well you prepare now will make the difference in how things go for you as the changes brought on by The Great Reset make things tougher for all of us. There’s no argument that it isn’t happening or that things will not keep on getting worse, with continually rising prices combined with increasing shortages, while new diseases keep popping up that attack poultry, pigs, cattle and people.

The latest ones are a form of Bird Flu that’s been appearing in chicken ranches and causing the culling of millions of chickens in an attempt to keep it from spreading, a useless attempt because the birds are no doubt getting it from the sparrows, robins etc.. The one that presently is of concern is Monkeypox, which started out as a few cases in the UK a week ago to many cases in 17 nations now. It’s reportedly spread through male homosexual contact, like HIV/AIDS. Mortality rate is very low.

This disease is out of Africa, where so many people are migrating away from rather than starve, and being welcomed into the nations of Europe and the West without any medical testing first. This policy ensures that Monkey Pox isn’t the only disease that’s going to be spread anew, and then there’s the parasites and varieties of fungus that most of the world had rid itself of, that are coming back because of the unchecked immigration.

This is just one more good reason to be well stocked on food and other supplies, as you may soon have to go back into self-imposed lockdown to wait out the next pandemic. Monkeypox is not looking like anything to worry about unless you’re queer and so far the Bird Flu is only infecting birds, but promoting pandemics has become a global crusade now and “they” may yet come up with something that’s truly very fatal.

One more thing to consider is that around 90% of those who’ve been vaccinated against Covid are the ones catching it now, meaning that the doctors who refused to be silenced are right and that the Vax harms the immune system, and 78% of Americans have had at least one dose of it now, as have 65.5% of the total global population.

This means that if you’ve been Jabbed, you’re more susceptible to diseases of all kinds than those who haven’t been. Keep that in mind when you venture into public places.

IT PAYS TO SHOP AROUND

(Article #3 in a series of articles on the changes happening in the USA and the world and how to deal with them.)

I should have remembered that before I married my first wife. Also my second. Oh, and also the third. In hindsight, they probably should have, too. But this is about actual shopping at the grocery store for more long-term storage food, for when the stores all run out. This morning I went first to Dollar General and found one item on my list that was low priced, Vegetable Oil. 2 year Use-By date. I have plenty but more is always good if the price is cheap.

Then went to Family Dollar and found some store-brand cans of veggies, green beans, creamed corn and sweet peas, with long Use-By dates. 4 cans of each. Their food shelves were all half empty or more, worst I’ve ever seen it there.

Then off to Von’s for the stuff the discount stores didn’t have, where I bought a Mega-size jar of Ibuprofin, 2 boxes of 2.5 minute Cream of Wheat and 2 large boxes of Raisin Bran, again with long exp. dates. Now’s the time to get wheat products if you haven’t already. It’s not that there won’t be any, there will, but there will be a lot less than before and the price has already soared for bread, etc.

Lastly to Grocery Outlet where I didn’t find anything else that I haven’t already stocked well up on except something I normally never buy, which is sodas. I bought a case each of Root Beer and Dr. Pepper. They’ll keep forever in my Cold Room and be an occasional treat to brighten my day. PLUS I scored on Chicken Wings.

Previously I mentioned that chicken wings are now $8 a pound at Vons. When I returned home from that shopping shock, I checked the subject out on Google and sure enough, prices for the ever-popular wings have gone crazy. But there in front of me in the meat section at Grocery Outlet was a big pile of packs of wings, priced at $3.49 a pound. Figuring I’ll never see them that low again, I bought 10 packs, which came to about 17 pounds and they’re now safely tucked away in my freezer.

The point here about those wings is that even though I sneered at $3.49 a pound wings just a week ago as being way overpriced, I shouldn’t have. Things have changed, folks, and they’re going to keep on doing it. If you can find a relative bargain like that for any preferred food, get it now. I do love a plate of hot, spicy chicken wings.

About my Cold Room, it’s a small shed built to fit in the space available in the back yard and is 7 feet wide and 12 feet long, with heavy, thick insulation. Not-fiberglass, the insulation is a sort of wood fiber on a paper backing. R-13. Walls and ceiling. Door is wood core, steel exterior, purchased already framed up and seals tightly.

To keep it cool there’s a Frigidaire 5000 BTU A.C. which uses about 500 watts when going full power, plugged directly into a Willhi model wh1436 programmable electronic thermostat from Amazon, ($29) that’s plugged directly into a 120 VAC outlet and is set to turn the AC on at 68 degrees and off at 63 degrees. Even if the outside temperature hits 100, this room stays between 63 and 68 degrees.

That means that normal use-by dates are greatly extended because of the constant low temperature the food is kept at. The little AC unit was cheap, the thermostat was cheap and considering the $1000’s of dollars worth of food in there, the system is a bargain. PLUS, my 1.2 kilowatt photovoltaic array will easily power it all if the electricity fails from SoCal Edison. The hottest part of the day is when the sun shines the most so steady power is assured.

SUMMARY: Even if you only have room for another refrigerator, get a used one as big as you have room to put it and fill it with canned and boxed food. It doesn’t have to stay as cold as you’d want it for stuff like milk and eggs, set it to stay between 50 and 65 if you can. A large frig loaded only with “non-perishables” like canned goods, dried and condensed food, can keep a person going for up to a year. At the least, find the coolest dry place in your home to store flour, sugar, noodles, etc. Worst case scenario is that you’ll have to eat it all sooner or later.

MOVING DAY

Article #2 in a series of articles on the changes happening in the USA and the world and how to deal with them.

So you’ve decided to move out of your crime infested area to a safer, less overcrowded place. Good idea, except…. you won’t find any work there because that’s why it’s not crowded, there’s no work. But it will be crowded soon enough because millions of dirt poor people with nothing are pouring into America and they will find this mecca of yours, and survive with their government issued EBT cards. They’ll move into every single abandoned home and building, they’ll set up camp in back yards, they’ll break into locked garages and sleep on the floors and burn down lots of them with their cooking fires and probably the connecting house as well.

Think it won’t happen? Look around. Check out the homeless encampments in Los Angeles, tell me that doesn’t shake your shit, huh? And that’s just there.

What you need to keep from being a sheep is Community Organization, not moving. Only if there’s already so much criminal activity right where you live that staying there is suicide, should you try to relocate to a safer place. Safer places are disappearing right now, you need to make the place you have safer if you possibly can.

So start Community Organizing. Avoid the subject of Politics and focus on Group Safety, Group Awareness, Neighborhood Watch. Find out who has military experience, medical knowledge, is or was in law enforcement, any survivalist types, herbalists. People with skills. You will find some don’t want to be bothered while others are natural leaders and organizers. If you can get this ball rolling, others may take over and carry the ball. You’ll need a regular meeting place or at least a place where the leaders can be called together when needed, to create plans of action. It’s important that once your community is organized for survival, that you stay connected to each other frequently, form ties and friendships.

For a good example, during the Watts riots many years back, when the blacks were out looting and burning the stores, they made a very short run at the shops owned by the Vietnamese immigrants. Short because the Vietnamese were on their rooftops with rifles and shot the looters when they came to loot and burn. That was the end of that. Vietnamese are not sheep. Arm up.

The worst problem when organizing your community, whether it’s a tenement building or an entire neighborhood, is always the arrogant, know it all assholes who bully their way into being the Big Leader, and who actually don’t know squat about tactics, they just want to be in charge and give orders. This is why you should always elect your leaders by democratic vote and have a council of them with equal say. Majority rules. Odd numbered council, like the Supreme Court, so the vote can never be even except for abstentions. 9 is a good number. No President or Chairman, no Big Leader. Just a council that decides.

There you have it. Pretend you’re Vietnamese, you have to stick together because you’re strangers in a strange land but at least you speak the same language and have the same goal, to survive. And if you don’t think you’re in a strange land now, you need to pay much better attention.

AISLE WARS

This is the first in a series of articles on the changes happening in the USA and the world and how to deal with them.

In 2020 it was Toilet Paper. All the media assured everyone that toilet paper was in short supply during the Epidemic, so of course all the good sheep ran out and stripped the stores across our great land bare of toilet paper. Some of those hoards are probably still being wiped out. Yes, bad pun.

Today it’s baby food. Women are clearing the shelves of baby food and selling it on ebay and Amazon at huge markups, and this wouldn’t be happening if our media wasn’t telling us that there’s a shortage of baby food.

It reminds me of hydroxychloroquine, a proven effective treatment for Covid19 that our government assured us was fish tank cleaner and would kill us. Word got out that it was a cure and before it disappeared completely off the shelves, ebay and Amazon, the price had roared up to $600 an ounce as panicked sheep fought each other for it.

There was a time when American Citizenship was a huge deal, people worked hard and studied hard to become an American citizen, and were truly proud when they succeeded. You couldn’t get in if you had a disease, parasites, a criminal history or seemed mentally ill. Not anymore, now the gates are flung wide open and all the filth, diseases, bugs, criminal intent and mental problems come right on in, no problem, here’s a driver’s license, EBT card and a housing voucher.

So of course there’s going to be more diseases, more pandemics. The latest disease we never had before but do now is Monkey Pox, which makes pus blisters all over the body and came here on some Africans who just walked in from Mexico with the rest. No one gave them or any of the other millions a medical check before they entered the US.

Everyone, even the Left media like CNN, is saying that the Biden administration is deliberately destroying our economy. It appears to be true but I don’t want to get into conspiracy stuff. It is true that our economy is being destroyed whether it’s deliberate or not. I think at least part of the problem is massive incompetence, and it doesn’t matter if I’m right or not because how it affects us is the only issue we have any means to deal with, anyway.

So, HOARDING. Hoarding is when you spend your steadily devaluing money on buying lots of overpriced stuff that you’ve been feared into believing you won’t get anymore. Chicken wings, for instance. Yesterday I went shopping and thought to get some wings and they were $8 a pound, and I dropped the package like it was burning my hand. You should do the same because chicken wings are not worth more than the price of good steak. Did you know that they used to get thrown away, until places like Hooters made them popular? Don’t be a sheep.

What you should do, with your grocery money, is go to the discount stores like Winco and The Cannery (or similar wholesale-to-the-public) and first get your normal groceries, then buy extra as you can afford it of a variety of things you eat. Every can and bottle has an expiration date, make sure whatever it is is good for at least a year ahead.

If you don’t own firearms, you should, and a supply of ammo for them. The influx of desperate and starving foreigners into our country is increasing and I’d count on it getting a lot worse. All these people want what you have, I don’t care if it’s a dirty used mattress under a crowded overpass, someone will want to take that from you. No matter how impoverished you are right now, the people swarming in have nothing at all and your shit looks really good to them. Always keep that in mind.

Law enforcement isn’t too great anymore. The cops have been defunded and vilified, many have left for other careers, and a lot of crimes are just ignored. The prisons are packed, the courts are packed and budgets have been cut while crime rates are soaring because of so much unvetted immigration. Mexican cartels operate freely now, just for one. So if you carry a concealed weapon without a license for it, which is a felony in most states, and get caught with it, if you’re just an average citizen you may just get probation. There is that risk. Does the risk of some jail time or probation outweigh the risk of being robbed and shot dead? That’s up to you. Baa. If you live where open carry isn’t prohibited, even better.
