THE LATEST CONSPIRACY!!!

I can't tell you how I know this but I have been told that within two months we should have a new currency here in the good old USA. The lid is off the pot folks and the stench is starting to drive the rest of the world away. Sometime around the first part of February this should happen. The collapse is on and God help those who are not prepared. I am working on getting us secure here in Indiana and I know there are those of you in other places who have put their hearts and souls into the effort. I don't know how it will all work out and I might have to strain to really care. I have me a little team and we will do our best to get others ready or at least organized, Some pretty damn good people in my team. Shooters, gardeners, business people, foragers, hunters, builders, and so on and so forth. It's gonna take people, people like you and me. People who have the love of God in their heart and the love of their fellow man in there also. And this two month time frame is someone else's estimate, though they apparently have inside information. I cannot verify the time frame but I can verify the end results. Here is a quote from Jim Sinclair:
************
Jim Sinclair�s Commentary

Secret central bank loans and their covert purpose have no place in a public society.When rule makers become rule breakers, claiming impunity as the ends justified the means, the rule of law no longer exists. The society is Totalitarian in the guise of Democracy.The transition is completed.

And there are a lot of preppers who are of the same mind. And I read them. Try Bison Risk Management Associates and read the Chief Instructor at http://bisonrma.blogspot.com/. He will give you a peek at things. Pete Smith at http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/ will just come right out and say it. No beating around the bush. And there are others I read every goddamn day. Someone always has a piece of the puzzle to share and they give it up pretty easily. You will always get pretty good news from a prepper.

I have encouraged people to get ready for this time. And it is going to come. Every one of you knows this and has tried to warn others. But most Americans are asleep and unaware. And we did not do that. Some other force is at work in them that is not in us.

I found a web site that has the info I expounded upon earlier in the post. It is at http://thecomingdepression.blogspot.com/. Scroll down until you get to the audio tape with the Marine emblem on it. It will give you more than enough to get you to thinking.

This post is a bit scrambled but it will give you an idea of what is going on. More data kept coming in as I wrote the piece. Stay alive.

GOLD, BANKS, AND LAND

It's getting to look like cold weather. Below freezing here at the homestead. Not much below but enough to get you in the mood to get back inside to the warmth of the house. I'll be ready to go again next May.

I have been thinking about gold. Gold is a mirror. It reflects what is going on around it. You gotta understand that gold does not have calves or lambs or piglets. It produces nothing. And gold pays no dividends. It just sits there, a lump of elementary yellow metal that has little or nothing to do. But the price of the yellow metal keeps going higher and higher. Some of the wise guys in the commodity market say it could get into some big time numbers pretty soon. My friend Charles Bell said they were carrying gold short sellers out on stretchers last Wednesday from the market. This is not a good time to be shorting gold. You can get a margin call in a very short period of time. For those of you with investment money, I would buy gold and hold it for a while. Actually, if you have your preps are complete to most existing standards, I would advise buying it and never selling it. Same goes for silver. Why sell? All you will get is worthless FRN's so why would you sell? Buy and bury is my motto. And buy off of businesses that allow you to make anonymous purchases. Don't let the fedgov know you have it. You never can tell when those bastards will come confiscating. And they have done it before.

The FDIC is broke and the fedgov will be looking to have a bank holiday pretty soon. I told a young lady that my daughter, a recently admitted-to-the-bar lawyer, could not find a job. The young lady in question said it would get better because the Obama administration was going to hire 22 or 23 thousand lawyers after the first of the year. Now you might ask what the fedgov will be needing with all these thousands of new lawyers on the pay role. And all I could say to you is that they must be going to sue a lot of people. But then you will ask me why and I must say I don't know. I would say that it looks like we are going to hell in a rocket ship. Ain't going to be a long ride. I think it will be a quick ride down. If the prediction of the banks declaring a holiday are accurate then the Shit is Hitting the Fan.

I'm thinking how nice it would be if we could all have a couple hundred acres in nice secluded valleys somewhere with a hundred acres in forest and a hundred acres in farmable fields. Nice wood stoves. Plenty of good water. Abundant game and maybe some fish. Huge pantries with an abundance of long term storage food. Satellite Internet and the money to pay for it. Good friends and family around for help and companionship. Jim Sinclair is advocating taking ownership of farm land and I think he may have something there. Being able to grow food in a secure environment is a blessed thing. And our economy after the collapse could very well be based on calories. Food will be a very nice thing. Being able to eat every day will be a greatly envied lifestyle. Envied so much that people will risk life and limb to take it from you. And that is a gloomy prediction but I have told everyone to gather up their families and clans and join together for security and labor resource.

Your farmland or retreat or settlement or what ever you call it will need defensive planning. It may not be time to go on the offensive but it ain't never too early to get defensive. Figure out where the enemy or raiders or local malcontents or just stupid people will be coming from and set up your guards accordingly. Never give a sucker an even break. They will shoot you and take your food, to say the least. You have precious lives to protect and you may as well get to it with gusto. The stupid people are out there in droves but the good guys are fairly limited in numbers. Protect the good guys. And stay alive.

GUNS

You must be stuffed with food and not very hungry right now. So it is a good time to read and maybe learn something. How about a little survivalism? Hope that sounds okay to you.

I feel like saying a few things about guns this morning. Guns for self defense and guns for getting game for food. Most guns will do some of these things quite well and if you like them then you should shoot them. There are, however, a few wrinkles in the game of fire power. If you have a felony on your record then you are not to own a firearm. This makes it a little difficult to have a gun handy at all times. One thing you don't want to do it buy from a dealer. They have to fill out those nasty, incriminating forms for BATF. And BATF can go through the paperwork and find your John Henry on the bottom line and off you go to federal prison. Not a good thing. So don't acquire a gun from a dealer. You never want paperwork laying around that can send you away. You won't like it. You want to buy a gun "off paper". This means you buy it from an individual and you don't sign a damn thing. How do you think the gangsters get THEIR guns? It is called the black market by some folks and it works. And it will always work. After the collapse a lot of bullshit paper work will disappear and everyone can go about living a much freer life. And I think we can all appreciate that. Preppers know what a gun is for and how to use it properly. We read about it all the time. Don't neglect your preps!

Another wrinkle is the getting-to-be-common shortage of ammunition. The main caliber pistol and rifle rounds are hard enough to find but if you have developed an affinity for a 50 caliber HAMMER-OF-GOD round you may have a problem finding ANY ammo for it.There are many .308 weapons and 30-06 weapons, along with plenty of .223 and 7.62 X 39. These are the big sellers and thus the most ordered and therefore they will be the first things on the market. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. And if you shoot an off-caliber rifle you will just have to wait for your ammo to appear on the shelves. And I am not saying your choice of weapon is wrong or inadequate or anything like that. I am merely stating the economic facts of the matter. The big selling, back ordered calibers are going to get the lions share of the production time at the bullet factory. Your rare breed will just have to wait a few months until they can get to it. Sad but true.

Pistol ammo is the same way. .38 Special/.357, .380, 9mm, and 45 acp are the big dogs on the block and they are gong to eat first. Again, I am not saying your choice of handgun is wrong, but I am saying that when there are millions of rounds back ordered of the big five, your off-caliber choice is not going to get the attention is should. And you might be able to split a hair with your pistol. It may be the most accurate firearm in America. But it is NOT going to compete with the big sellers. This is a real thing to consider when choosing a firearm.

A lot of time is spent talking about the lowly .22 LR cartridge and it's various and it's various launching platforms. The reason for all the noise about this caliber is because it is still relatively cheap. Not like it was 10 years ago but still cheap enough to shoot. You can practice with it and drill with it and even get game with it, if you get good with it. It will also make an raider think twice about coming any further, especially if they already have one in the leg or the arm. Stomach wounds are a bad thing for a raider. Not too many people are interested in doctoring a raider. They will probably get hung anyhow.

Shotguns are my thing and I love 'em. You can get just about any ammo you need for a shotgun. All the way from slugs to very fine birdshot. 00 Buck will handle most of your self defense needs. I am very impressed with my shotguns. My son was impressed with my slug gun when he killed a 10 point buck. The picture is on the wall above me as I type this post. I was a proud Papa that day. He waited 5 hours for the buck to come out. Cold weather and getting dark but he hung in there and nailed that big boy. A determined man he was. Stay alive.

THE SNAP

Remember when you fellas were a lot younger, in school and dealing with those raging hormones. Some times you just had to do something so you did it. You came up behind a girl and snapped her bra strap. And boy oh boy, did that ever piss 'em off. But we are looking at another snap coming in the future and it ain't hormonal. other than maybe adrenalin. We are talking about the snap society is going to do when the SHTF. The fedgov can get away with it's low life propaganda right now and people will fall for it. They want to fedgov to be right in saying that the recession is over. It is what the people want to hear. They want to hear that Daddy Obama has successfully gotten them out of the poverty and misery we were headed into. Millions unemployed and living off of unemployment compensation. Factories, the ones we still had, were shutting down and the economists were saying they would never open up again. Fearful words to a stupid and decadent citizenry. The average American citizen does not have the intelligence to wipe his own ass. And that is crude and crass and all of that stuff but it happens to be true.

The next collapse is going to make us a third world country with a huge poverty base for the rich to milk as they see fit. And you will bow or you will starve. I ain't going to starve but a lot of the citizenry is going to meet that ignoble end. Poverty unheard of is going to sweep this country. And the citizenry will finally wake up. At least to the point at they will be ready to do something besides give Obama another term. And if the election were to be held tomorrow they would probably re-elect him. They are that stupid. But they will have to set their stupidity aside when the next collapse comes. They will have to get plugged in to reality or starve. They will not like reality but it damn sure beats going hungry, or watching your wife and kids go hungry. They will be on the march to something better and if it ain't available they will burn and rob and kill until they find something better. And I can't say that I blame them. I just happen to be fortunate enough to have woke up in time to prepare when I still had a chance. There will be lots of folks who will not get the chance to prepare. My heart goes out to them.

But the cities will burn and the stores will be looted and then the march to the country will begin. And it is going to be a real heavy march. The city folks have this idea in their heads that the country is where the food is. Well, that ain't the whole truth. The country is where the medium of production of food is, called dirt. But dirt is not readily edible. You have to put seeds in it and wait awhile for plants to develop and crops produced. And anyone with half a lick of sense knows that. But the hordes from the city will come looking for food out in the country and there won't be any stopping them. They will be armed and unless you can successfully oppose a hostile group you will find yourself conquered and at the mercy of some rude dudes. And there ain't going to be any mercy. If there was mercy they would not be on the road as it is.

So when they come to kill you and rob you and molest you and your friends and family, you kill them first. The will have snapped mentally and are not deserving of much more than a quick death. And that is a hard thing to say but it will be a hard time and hard decisions will have to be made. This country's mentality is soft at the core and you may as well face that. They won't tell Obama or China to shove it but they will certainly kill you and take your food and supplies and use them for themselves. And they will be desperate. We will getting down to the basics by then and by basics I mean calories. It will take energy to get to you if you live outside of town and they don't have energy to give away. They have to make every move count. And they do not want to march all the way back to their base or their town and not get fed. So be accurate and precise in your defense. Don't let up and let them regroup and try you again, for they will do better the second time they attack. Hit them hard and press the attack as hard as you can. Don't leave a single one of them alive. And drag their bodies to the road and let them rot. Let the next bunch that comes to kill you see their bones in the Sun. Ugly, but effective. We are trying to survive here, not run a camp for displaced people.

And these measures, while harsh, are justified by the fact that people will have snapped mentally. They will be more like brute beasts than rational human beings. If your meeting with them is successful then I say pour it to them. Leave no one standing or capable of standing. If you fail at this they will be back, older and wiser. Do not forget that your whole life experience, with your family, your schooling, your interaction with society, has made you aware of how to approach someone and talk with them. You don't do it with a gun in your hand, unless you meet in a gun store. You don't shoot at or hit someone with whom you wish to speak. So when you meet someone who IS shooting and hitting then you are meeting a deranged human being. Anybody has the training to stop and talk. And if they don't do that then you had better be on your toes. Anything that can cause another person to throw away their all their social training is someone to really look out for. They are dangerous. Stay alive.

BREAKING THE COUNTRY

I got a call from the East coast this morning giving me the details on the "tit in the wringer" situation at the Commodity Exchange in New York City, what we call the COMEX. The Comex has a 9 million ounce stash of gold in it's warehouse. Someone, probably the Chinese, has an option to buy 30 million ounces at $1200 an ounce. And the price of gold ain't too far from $1200 right now. This option has two days to go and then it's either time to buy or time to roll it over for another month. But there has been no signs of anyone coming forward to roll the damn thing over and continue on with the game. It looks like someone is figuring on taking possession of the gold. And that is a lot of money to be spending, unless you are a sovereign nation with a lot of reserves. Like China or India or someone like that. 30 million ounces of gold is a big chunk of the yellow metal. But if the COMEX can't cough up the 30 million ounces then they must call around to the various central banks of foreign nations and try to borrow the stuff. They probably can't borrow that much gold. So they will be declared insolvent and that will be the end of the COMEX. They are pretty corrupt anyhow. The other thing worth noting is that China and England are pretty sure that the Tungstun ingots put on the market as gold probably came from the federal reserve bank. If this can be proven and the word hits the mainstream media then the federal reserve is bankrupt also. This stuff gets funnier by the minute. Having the COMEX and the federal reserve both go out in shame would just about toast our economy. One wonders how many countries around the world have gold coated tungsten bars in their vaults. This is going to be a mess. I mean a HUGE mess.

I talk to dedicated preppers about this coming fiasco and they act a little scared. I just tell them there ain't no reason to be scared. We have prepped and prepped some more and it will all pay off for Sam and Sadie Survivalist. This has been coming for quite a while and should be no surprise to anybody. This is just one of the reasons we have garnered our food and guns and ammo and medicines as best we could. The crooks are robbing us blind and it is going to turn around and bite them on the ass. The last act of a crooked government is to loot the country and escape with the money. We are watching that right now. We will reform ourselves into what ever we think will work and absolve ourselves from the acts of the bank robbers who are stealing from us.

I want to close with a little bit about the future. Remember the words of Charles Bell who said "DO NOT BE FOOLED!" There is a campaign to get this country going in the manner it was heading when the collapse of 2007 came upon us. It didn't work then and it will not work now. Our bill for all of the international borrowing will be over 200 billion dollars this year alone. It will quickly rise to 700 billion dollars annually. This economy that is being projected by the fedgov and the media is as phony as a $3 bill. There are SERIOUS problems in our economy. Devastating problems. And the collapse will hit like a ton of bricks falling on your head if you are not ready. Do not believe in these bastards. PREPARE! This next collapse will kick this country's ass so hard it won't even be able to walk. It is all smoke and mirrors. Lies. There is a huge campaign to get the stock market up and encourage the populace to buy for the holidays. I never realized how much the stock market influences folks. But it damn sure does. And it is all manipulated. Don't ever forget that. It was manipulated before the recession hit and it is even more manipulated now. You cannot believe the media and you cannot believe the federal government. Their figures lie and they are only interested in what little money you have. But you have the right to refuse to go along with these people and you should exercise that right. DO NOT BE FOOLED! And stay alive.

ON YOUR OWN

I keep seeing the words "you're on your own" more and more these days. Well who the hell don't know that! The world is crumbling as we watch, the economic order is bankrupt, the policies of various governments have failed completely, hard core religionists are gaining strength and malice against their competitors in the religion business, political rivalries between nations are at an all time high, and like I said, "We are on our own." You sit in some out of the way spot trying to keep your head down and be safe. But it seems the madness is going to the four corners of the earth. It seems to want to engulf us all. It does not want to leave anyone out of the equation. You just want to be left alone and to grow your food and secure your clan or family but life seems to have other plans. This means that all people are going to be affected by this malaise. It's gonna touch everyone.

They are going to touch you with their disease through your wallet. Governments are wanting your wallet. That is their life blood. However much they can syphon out of you will strengthen them. That fact that it leaves you devastated doesn't mean a hole helluva lot to them. UCLA just raised their tuition by 32%. Didn't ask anyone's permission. They just did it. And the education system is like that. They are a bunch of socialists and they want money and that it is that. You are a member of the working, capitalistic class and they want to be supported. Your job is to get your ass to work and get the money for them. They do not go to the marketplace to make their money. They are above that, you know. They don't have to get their hands dirty like common people do. They are the educated class and they want to be served lots of life's benefits courtesy of your paycheck. And they get it.

But there are more bloodsuckers out there wanting their share of the pie. The Social Services people are always clamoring for more money. The people paying your unemployment are asking for a bunch. Your legislators are needing a raise. The pensions of the police and firemen and the schoolteachers are needing a big funding. The roads are in a terrible shape and the highway department is tapped out and needs more money. Never mind that when you go by their work there are 8 guys standing around watching one guy run a machine. There will be a song and dance telling you how necessary all these people are. And you do want your road fixed, don't you? The days of the concrete roads are over. Asphalt is king these days. Two years durability at the maximum. Then it is time to go take another big wad of tax money and begin the cycle again. The people are so ignorant of these things. They are asleep and unaware. The various governments have their syphon hose in your wallet and they are not going to let up.

What all of this means is you have a big red target printed over your wallet pocket and the government is taking aim with surety. The taxes and fines and fees and regulations are on the way. You had better be prepared and have plenty of food and guns and ammo and medicine because it is going to get rough. And you had better watch your mouth too. If people find out you have, and they don't, they will rationalize taking what you have from you. It does not matter if you have warned them dozens of times. They didn't get the message and they won't get it now. They will just take your stuff and go on about their ignorant lives. If you wonder about the callousness of your government workers just look at the rest of humanity. Are not most of them hardened against thinking outside the TV? They can't do it! What ever they are told is right is what they will believe. And you can believe that! You are the target and you are the prey. Be warned and be ready.

This government is out to break us. They want to break us down into good Marxist slaves. One of our guys recently bought a tract of timber on the local naval base. They have been selling timber over there for 50 years at least. And we have bought a lot of it. Hell, we live right next door to them. But the time of the environmental concern is upon us. It has been wet and the forestry guys do not want us to rut their woods. It's actually our woods but they think they own it. Do to the poor logging conditions we asked for an extension of the time allotted to cutting the timber. But the forestry guys at the naval base can't deal with us on that issue. We have to call an office in Chicago and ask a lady up there if we can have an extension. Of course the answer is no. They don't like loggers and sawmillers anyhow. The lady is probably a "community organizer" who has gotten a civil service job. They don't like the marketplace jobs, if you will remember. And these kind of practices are going on more and more as the "change: of Obama is heaped upon us without mercy. We'll get a change all right. Changed from a moderately free people into good government stooges. They will get after the guns and ammo next. If you do not like the government programs then you might be a terrorist and you shouldn't have a gun. Just ask old Rahm Emmanuel. He will tell you that you don't need a gun. He's another Chicago boy. Stay alive.

A SCENE

You step out of your house in the dim light of pre-sunrise and you look at the horizon. There are two plumes of smoke that should not be there. You now that something is amiss, that something is going on that is not good for you and yours. You get back into the house and find that the day has begun for the rest of the clan. The good aroma of pancakes fills the air and the admixture of frying Spam adds to it. You get a plate and sit with the rest of the men. You tell them about the smoke you have seen and where you think it comes from. There are some grunts and groans but not much talk. Their mouths are full of food and they won't let the possible danger stop their enjoyment of eating. But soon the talk is flowing and opinions are given and plans are made and the group is plugged in to the situation. Two vehicles with armed riders will go to a place closer to the burning. Everyone thinks it is two homes of "independents" that have been attacked, looted and burned. One of the houses had a couple of pretty daughters and they need to be accounted for, even if missing. Missing could mean they have been kidnapped and that will not be a good thing. The adults at the two houses are stubborn people who do not like working with others. They may be paying for this attitude. A convoy of armed trucks is going to head toward the suspected foul play and the men quickly finish their food and grab their guns. The guns are never far away. They load up the trucks and head down the road.

The house that has the two pretty girls is burnt to the ground, along with the barn and an old shed. But the girls and their mother are okay. They hid in the crawl space under the house as long as they could and the raiders were gone when they had to come out. The mother was practically in hysterics when the men got there. The man of the house was not alive. He had gone out to face the raiders armed with a ball bat and he came out second best in the encounter. Tough shit. The second house they visited was also burnt to the ground but all the residents were found dead. Also tough shit.

But this scenario could play out with some variance a thousand times in the next few short years. The people who are too stubborn or too stupid to form a clan and have group survival are going to pay a horrible price. I just got a call this morning from the East coast and the word is out that Social Security has been in negative cash flow for the last two months. That means they are sending out more money than they are taking in, to the tune of 5 billion dollars a month. It probably won't make the news until next Spring and no harsh legislation will come up for enactment until after the 2010 election. But then the hammer will fall. Always remember that the young and the very old are who get preyed upon in a conflict. They are the weakest targets. But it also means we are getting closer and closer to the collapse. And the collapse will bring the looting and arson that will destroy our country. China is out to buy 10,000 tons of Gold and make their currency gold backed. That might make them the only country in the world to have such a thing. Thus, they would become the money masters of the planet. And all other countries would have to bow to their superiority. The arrogant fedgov is not going to like this. Not one bit. There is also a rumor that the federal reserve is going to declare bankruptcy. I cannot fathom this happening. The only thing that could possibly cause that to happen is if countries with their gold stored at the federal reserve vaults under Manhattan all called for collection and the fed didn't have the gold. And I would not put it past them to not have the gold. They are some of the crookedest men on the planet and I would not trust them with so much as an ounce of gold, let alone tons of the stuff.

There are a lot of people who have very little business having a job. They don't do much and they don't care to do much. Millions of these people are in this country. I am sure you know some of them. But when they get laid off and the money is not coming in for their unemployment they are going to cause trouble, and lots of it. Nothing sane wants to die. No man wants to starve to death. Or watch his family cry and go hungry. So they are going to set about changing this in a rapid and satisfactory manner. At first they will loot and burn. But after the stores are all cleaned out they will attack homes of people who MIGHT have food and water. This will be when mayhem will strike in our land. The old people will be helpless. The young will not even understand. And the fit and able animals will rule the roost. This is the time for group defense. This is the time for a huge garden with plenty of guards. This will be when chickens for meat and eggs will be like having your own gold mine. A milk cow or goat will be worth a fortune. A compost pile will be worth a lot to someone of any intelligence. Clean drinking water will be a commodity that all will buy. And as a prepper you must be ready to provide all of these things. Your life will depend on it. And the lives of your friends and loved ones. We all have sacred cows in our minds. Social Security. Pensions. Rental property. Maybe a little gold and silver. But when the SHTF these scared cows are all going to the packing house. They will get ground up to nothing. And nothing is what they will be worth to you. Stay alive.
