Elities Managing American Decline and Causing It

Elites

If you don't see what is happening by now then you aren't paying attention.  The ones at the top are fine no matter who wins.  They have their assets overseas and just want to profit from our demise.

There is no point in naming names since there are so many.

Think the last four Presidents not counting the current one.  Think most of Hollywood and almost all the billionaires.

None of it is funny at this point.  These displays by ignorant children that have been indoctrinated by ignorant and venal adults have produced a generation of dupes that Lenin would have loved to  have for his October Revolution.

It might be time to start charging people with crimes for defacing private property.  Had something been put on the VP's property during the O Presidency it would have been denounced as extremist by the leftmedia

Kill All Men - Feminist 
I would have to guess that her orientation is not towards men.  Unbelievable.


Outcome:  Civil War USA

It seems that the left either doesn't understand or care that eventually the middle and right will not stand down forever when it comes to response.  Currently the response is left to complaining and legal approaches but the time may arrive when retaliation from both sides becomes the regular thing.  Think "the troubles," in Northern Ireland.  It made life almost intolerable for those living in that area and in the USA this could include most of the country.

What to to:  Think of where you live.  Is is rural or urban?  Rural makes more sense for reducing the risk of this type of worry.  

If you live in an area such as a University town that is surrounded by Red State populations you have a built in divergence of beliefs packed right next to each other.  Choose your side.

How to Survive Global Warming - During a Cold Blast

 Ice Age Temps 2018



Trump Trolls Climate Trolls and Loons


Global Freezing NYE

Bitter Cold

Global Warming/Climate Change - Winter Freeze
I enjoyed seeing comments from leftist Warmist types that still prattle on about climate change and global warming as something we must act on.  It really carries no strength in their argument when the temperatures are breaking records for cold in much of the USA.  In fact, talk of another mini-ice-age are beginning again, and complaints from the left are that yeah well, but when that happens and is over we'll be back to warming again.  Whatever!

So for us rational types here is my suggestion for handling the brittle cold especially if you're in an older home with insulation issues, you have trouble keeping the place warm, and if you're worried about massive energy bills.  Never mind what you'll do if the power goes away.

First.  think insulation and triage.  If you have rooms at the end of the house or mobile home that don't have plumbing and can let the temps get much lower there just close them up and consider those rooms another massive wall space of insulation.  On the doors leading to those rooms you can tape on radiant barrier.  You can also use radiant barrier to put behind furniture or even cover walls if you don't care about the look.  In a utility room this is usually no problem.  I use Reflectix for that.

Here is where to get it.

Reflectix  at Lowes

You can also find Radiant Guard online.
Radiant Guard looks useful as well though it is designed for attics and crawl spaces.  Reflectix doesn't breathe so keep that in mind.  I've used it for decades to keep cabins warm in super cold winters.  Unlike fiberglass you don't have the issues with rodents making nests in it and risk of glass particles in the air or in your eyes.

As for heat sources.  Start with your main heat sources and add backups such as oil lamps, kerosene heaters, and propane portable heaters.  If you want to go all out add a wood stove, pellet stove, or propane space heater as back-ups when the power is out.

Bitter Cold in Midwest and North East Coast of USA 
I think the new tune you might sing if you live in the areas under the freeze is

Invasion Update: Le French Toast

Christian Film Banned - Prayers Blocking Traffic in the Streets Okay

The French are toast.  Their desire to remove Christianity from their culture is happening at the same time they have swung their doors open for an Islamic colonization of the country.  Au Revoir France.

Learn from this.  We need to stop the flow. 

Collapse Update: Living in the Streets of Cali - Venezuela Prelude

California Dreamin - this is what alien invasion combined with socialist heaven will bring you.
This can be anywhere in the USA with enough strain on local governments.  In this case the whole state of California is intent on bringing down everything to the lowest common denominator except of course the elites who want to enjoy the show and live above and separately from the rest.

How to never end up like this:  Own your land and whatever sits on it outright without debt.  Live within your means and if that means an old single wide trailer or a cabin then do it.  You'll love the independence and control you have over your destiny.

End of Year Agitprop: Fake News - Delusional Left Gone Wild - Hating Trump

Krugman

CNN Trump Golfing
The center of Fake news can't get enough of Trump enjoying himself.  They seem not to notice how much he has accomplished.

King of Division

Blooming Bias
Unalterable opinion/fake news

Obama and Hillary Most Popular in Poll
It's amazing what the constant drumbeat of left wing propaganda can do to boost a person's popularity or take it down.  Thankfully, popularity polls don't decide all elections.

Mainstream News is Fake
Oh yes, it surely is and at this stage only a fool would waste their time believing 1/10th of it.

Fake story about Deportations - Trump Below Obama
Read the tone of the article.  It reeks with disdain for Trump.  Maybe they should rename the news source Fakeberg.  Fewer deportations might be because fewer illegals have come across the border this year.

Yahoos claim Mueller Investigation now legit
I no longer use Yahoo for anything including news.  The left tilt became too much to stomach and it like the rest of their services became an anachronism.  It is nothing but a mouthpiece for the left-media.

End Result - One year into Presidency Trump and Obama Tied in Popularity
All this despite an endless assault on Trump and a Fawning Media for Obama.

.22 LR Shortage is Over - Availability Steady

.22 On shelves in Dallas for 3.6 cents per round

San Antonio, TX  Wal Mart .22 available

Walmart  - Remington Golden Bullet Bucket 1400 rounds approx $75

Sightings of .22 in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania York Show Fall 2017 CCI 100 pk mini mags 7.95

North Carolina Gun shops CCI $12 per 100

Just to make this clear.  Now that the planned O ammo shortage plan is over and Trump has been in office for a year the shortage is over.  Government purchases have apparently been brought back into normal line with needs rather than the need to limit supply by stockpiling.

Santa Survives Another Mission: NORAD Santa Tracker

NORAD Santa Tracker

I remember this when I was a kid and it was a great adventure.   Somehow Santa survives every year even with the anti-Christian bent of many of those in Mordor (D.C.) and of course the left who would happily have him grounded at a minimum or possibly even charge him with some violation of homeland security.  Never mind we can allow massive invasions from the South, but one yearly visitor from the North is one too many for the mavens of political correctness and atheism. 

Notice the tone of this article. It is very dismissive and frankly seems like the writer is surprised that the DOD can even continue with this outreach program and one that brings some smiles and happiness to Americans.  Calling the Santa tracker a propaganda campaign at least indicates that they know the word propaganda as it describes much of the content of the left media.

Puerto Rico: Great Eample of What Lack of Self Sufficiency Can Bring

Blackout Puerto Rico
Poor planning, a broken economy, and a mindset that votes in leftists repeatedly is what gets you in a place where you can't even think ahead to plan for catastrophe.

While we have sympathy for those in Puerto Rico I note that as voters now flooding into Florida they will likely vote in far left candidates that will help bring to the US mainland economy what has made Puerto Rico so vulnerable and that is mountains of debt and no beliefs except government is the source of salvation.

Government Site Agitation Propaganda: Santa Moves to South Pole - global warming

Santa Moving South
Such is the state of the left.  They revel in their delusions and try to bring pain and discomfort in equal proportion to their own to everyone else.  Madness does that.  Their agitation at life and their flawed perceptions of reality gives them right to become the scrooge all 365 days of the year.  Many don't even believe in the son of God for which Christmas is the celebration and St. Nicklaus who is the true and original version of Santa Claus.

The miserable left hates Christmas
May they all find their own special place where they can find happiness, but not at our expense or at the expense of our beliefs.

Volcanoes and Alien Invasion : Blame it on Climate Change

Volcanoes
Now they want to tell us that geological changes like volcanoes are brought on by a  few degrees of temperature variation which they claim is man made.    Meanwhile, we're likely facing an ice age now that sun activity is down.


The left is crazy.  Treat them accordingly.


Global Cooling: This might be what we're really facing.  

Socialist Hellhole: Venezuela, Britain - NHS

This is what the Dear Leader tried to foist on the USA with nationalized medicine and a controlled economy.    Castro, Maduro, Mao, Obama, Sanders,  et al.

NHS - National Health Service started in 1946

They are looking to save money by choosing who gets treated.  This is Obamacare too.

Retreat Safety: Choose Dogs Carefully

Woman Killed by Her Dogs - sad story

This is such a common story that it doesn't rate reporting it here other than as a reminder to choose your dogs carefully.  I know some people love pit-bulls, dobermans, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I have had some experience with each breed.  In the end, the only one of this group I would even consider is the German Shepherd, but even there the risk exists that you might end up dealing with an unprovoked attack.   This risk includes all animals that can't reason and often react by instinct.  Is it worth the risk.

I'm not a dog expert so take this as an opinion based on personal experience, observation, and common sense.

Here is a rule I have adopted for living with dogs.  I choose a dog for temperament.  A good dog for the home is one that can alert you to threats and is a safe companion, and not one that can physically overcome the owner.   Picking a dog that can defend you in a fight also means it can do the same to you when startled.   Another good way to get a good dog is to just find a mutt at a shelter.  You'll know early on its nature.  Find one no matter how small that you like to have around and shows at least some ability to inform you when something is happening.  Their hearing and sense of smell give you the edge when it comes to situational awareness at your retreat.

Update:  Dogs were the cause of her death more details

Financial Survival: Debit Card Risk

Another reason not to use debit cards - motel guest charged for negative review.

With a credit card rather than a debit card it is very likely they could get their money back.  A debit card is long known as a risky option.  Checks are simply not worth using any longer.  Think of a credit card as a firewall to your cash with some legal protections against fraud.

Cryptocurrency Update: Costs of Mining, Security, Cryptocurrency Fever

Costs of Mining
The Big Government push back against crypto-currencies and especially against Bitcoin is that it is a climate destroying energy waster.  This of course assumes that banking, money printing, and bureaucrats running the FED and other financial organizations don't waste resources.  In truth they destroy wealth regularly through inefficiency and incompetence and lastly in the form of taxation secretly slipped in by inflation causing currency devaluation and corruption.  Over time it seems that Bitcoin and other may actually add efficiency to the financial systems that have never existed.

Expect much more of this from the pro big government types that want you to think that the current system of financial payments is much more energy friendly.  The whole thing is a laugh.

This is how it begins.  When it goes mainstream in ways such as this you should feel confident knowing that it isn't going away any time soon.  If anything, it's on the rise.

Just a quick note to those of you not paying attention.  Bitcoin hit 20k recently and is hovering around that price.

Pandemics

Surviving a Pandemic

This is a good article on how to prepare for and understand a pandemic so that you can survive it.

I think the one thing that makes the most sense in the article is what I think is the one essential and that is social distancing.  That means staying home and not sharing airspace with others who might be infected.  That is hard to do unless you're retired or financially independent.  But if things get rolling and it becomes clear that going anywhere puts you at risk you should find a way to bug in.  Living on your own detached home location whether it's a farm or just a lot in a subdivision can give you what you need for distancing.  Consider it now rather than later when the time arrives.  Think of how long you can sit it out.

Corruption in Government: FBI - Tainted

Credibility Gone in Russia Probe

The agents in charge called this Trump Insurance as if they had a working plan to stop him if by chance he won.  You can see it in progress and it stinks.  There is no way a reasonable person could justify this investigation as it stands.  Lots of people should be out of work from this and not the ones on the Trump team based on the lack of evidence.

The problem is that we have open political chicanery during the Obama Administration using the IRS, FBI, and other agencies to crush opposition.  Having lost the election the plan became to disable the incoming administration and if possible remove the President through impeachment.

The end of this is to observe that we are in a post constitutional phase moving toward an Oligarchy of power brokers who aren't elected calling the shots and even going so far as to take down a President.  The minions of these power brokers are the true believers in places like the IRS and FBI and many other agencies.

War Risk: Russia Rebuilding Nuclear Forces

Russia
This shows you the folly of the Obama effort to reduced the nuclear arsenal and actually give Russia an advantage.  Had he done nothing it is likely Russia would have not seen a benefit in increasing their arsenal.  Another sad thing is that they have broken every agreement they've entered into eventually so why bother getting a piece of paper signed that only applies to those who stay within the rules.

Whatever Trump may have done the tone and content of this message displays the total bias of the media in favor of the left and establishment politicians versus those with a Nationalist America First message.

Crypto News: Mania in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, and other alt coins

Prepare for Pain in Bitcoin

I can't dispute the arguments other than people have no faith in the existing financial system so this may be one more option to avoid being slammed by a dollar collapse in addition to Real Estate, Precious Metals, and Collectibles.

5 Reasons to buy Ripple
Good luck finding a way to get some.  The exchanges are hard to find that handle it for now.  I'm not sure it's the best way to go anyway.

Why Litecoin is going crazy.

Asia is a big user of this coin.  In the USA one of the largest crypto brokers has Litecoin as the alternate option and I found it much less expensive to use and transfer between accounts.   Additionally, the transaction speed is much faster.

Coinbase is driving the action

This is the easiest way to get started and is limited to the three main coins.  They make is simple and you can use your credit card.  I highly recommend them except for the pricing.  They are more expensive than most for transactions but if you want fast and simple this is the way to get started.  Another new benefit is their offline vault so you can secure your coins if you don't go with a hardware wallet.

An American would have done serious time for pulling the trigger.  There is a derangement syndrome in Cali that says blame the gun and not the one who pulled the trigger, unless of course it is a citizen.

You're on your own.  The law does not appear to be your friend any longer.

Flu Season Risk

10% effective vaccines

What this means for most of us whether we get the vaccine or not is to avoid places where we are likely to be exposed.  I tend to stop eating out during the flu season and just pack meals for times when I might normally eat out.

Another thing is using every opportunity to wash or clean your hands especially after touching a gas pump handle, door handle, or even a pen at a doctor's office.  It all has the same potential to pass along enough virus to take you down.

Going into public places such as movie theaters, classrooms, and wherever else large groups congregate is especially risky so good luck if you have no choice.

Hand sanitize every chance you get when you can't be near a place to wash your hands.  I carry baby wipes in the car.  They don't have antibacterials on them but do help clean your hands and can remove enough of the pathogens to cut your risk.

Trump Removal Could Cause Civil War
It's hard to say what could happen but so far I see nothing that could justify impeachment.  Contacting the Russians to arrange an alliance against ISIS sound like a smart thing to do and falls within the purview of policy decisions.  This is more agitprop fro the Deep State/Progressive Media Complex.
