Up and going as per usual. I like getting up in the morning. It reminds me that I am still here. And while that may not be the most pleasant thing I can think of, it means I have a job for the day. I have something God wants me to do. And that makes me happy.
I think about Cain leaving the Garden of Eden and going to the land of Nod and there taking a wife. That name, Nod, has a meaning to me. It was the land of a sleepy people. A people who were not tuned in to the world and it's meanings. A country of sheeple. They just went along to get along. And their progeny still walk the earth and Cain is still getting with them, for they are easy prey to his message. We see evidence of their existence everywhere we look. Sleepy people who are in denial of what is happening on the planet. Still wanting to carry on no matter what war or depression or collapse is upon them. Sleepy, so sleepy. Just mental dirt clods waiting for something to bust them up. And Praise God, something is coming to bust them up. Like Pete Smith said, there is something just over the hill, something evil and dark, and it is coming to kill a bunch of people. It is coming to bring misery upon the land. A few shall survive and defend their lives. Most will die off and be gone from our midst. Pete is a prepper. He is not asleep. You can read his daily tidbits at http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/. The thing you would like about him, and not even know why, is that he is not asleep. He is not from the land of Nod. He is among a growing number of folks who are not going to take this coming calamity lying down. And taking it lying down is not what a guy should be doing. The main thing to watch is to not blend your seed with another who might be from that Nod linage. I know it is not popular to talk about genetic lines and such, but think of your children. Do you want your kids to be halflings? It could happen, you know. So be alert and try not make mistakes that you will regret for decades and maybe bring you sorrow.
Many years ago I was introduced to the concept of the "youth generation." This was a way of expressing the country's reliance on the mind of it's youth. The young were glamorized and idolized. What the young were doing was the talk of the nation. Their clothes and their music were the big money makers of commerce. All of the system bowed to the young. And now look where we are now. If someone had just loved us enough to tell us we were full of shit we might not be in the shape we are in today. But those older guys are gone now and we are like babes left in the wilderness. We are blown about by every wind of policy that comes from D.C. And it is because of the worship of the youth culture that we are in this present peril. I keep telling people that God is the OLDEST of us. He ain't the teenager among us but the honored elder, the guy with the experience, brains, and power to handle the ship of life. No young punks are going to take control of his little blue planet and destroy his nursery. And be thankful we have continuity in his being. He is not checking out to go the great celestial graveyard. He will endure. He is a GOD.
I remember California and the history of it. You had to be one tough bastard to cross the West and make it to California. Not for the faint of heart, for sure. The fittest made it for the most part. And California grew and prospered with the gene pool that managed to arrive on the scene. For decades they came up with the goods to live. They were called The Golden State. Back in the Depression and the Dust Bowl days people flocked to California. They had work and they had food. But back in the 60's they were bitten by the youth bug, the same as the rest of us. And that brought the weak to the front. Welfare became a big thing in California. Working for the state was popular. Money FLOWED in California. Credit got easier and easier. Homes were built on practically an assembly line basis. And today, for all intents and purposes California is bankrupt. The weak took it over and dragged it down. The young and the untaught were given power and they wrecked the place. Now it has become a political farce with all kinds of shenanigans taking place. Perversion and debt have become the structure of the area. There is no way California is going to come through this in one piece. We need to get away from this youth culture.
Stay alive.

THE OLD FOLKS
Reading a comment this morning I am being made aware once again how much we will miss the old folks who raised us. Our parents and our grandparents. I can vaguely remember one great grand mother, Grandma Reel. She was up in her 80's and when my Dad's family had a big get together she was invited to play Pinochle with the men. Other women were not invited but she sure was. She was a helluva card player and could hold her own against anybody. I remember my Grandpa Gordon and his gardens. He loved to garden and was really proud of his tomatoes. He grew big Beefsteak tomatoes and the family loved them. We ate bacon and tomato sandwiches like crazy when the tomato crop came on. It was from my Grandpa Gordon that I learned to keep my tools sharp and ready. Shovels, hoes, hand sickles, you name it, he kept them sharp as razors. He was up in his 70's when he finally quit trimming around the house with a hand sickle. And he seemed to go so slow, but you just try to keep up with him! I could out work him for a couple of hours but then I had to take a break. But he kept on going in his slow methodical manner and always did more than anyone else. Of course, his tools performed better than anyone else's tools. That was a big part of his production and I think about that whenever I get into the garden or something similar. Those old folks knew how to get things done. They knew how to plant and how to reap. They knew the nuts and the fruit that were good for you. They could make wine and beer. And they could damn sure take care of their tools. Not taking care of a tool was a capital sin for those people. Their push plows were put away every Fall cleaned and greased. Even their outside door mats were cleaned and maintained with care. They knew how to treat various illnesses and what to take if you were coming down with something awful. They knew how to save money and keep what they had. They did not live in a throw-away world like we have now. If something was for sale and it was cheaply made, it did not sell. Period. No shoddy merchandise allowed, thank you. And oh my God, how wonderful it would be to have these people back with us. We are going to become much more self sufficient than we are now and those old folks were of that make and model. We will get it back but it will be hard on us. But maybe we will take batter care of it this next time.
I read a blog that brought to mind the idea that we are crazy, this morning. And I went along with it. Who can believe that the economic condition we were in would last? Raise your hands all that thought it would go on for a long time! If you did think it would last then you were crazy. There ain't no free lunch. If you didn't know that you do now. I remember my grandfather wanting to buy a new car to have his granddaughter drive him to eastern Kentucky to visit his brothers. He was in his mid to late 60's at the time and wanted to see them before he and they died. So Grandpa and Granddaughter went up town shopping for a new Chevrolet for making the trips. He actually got a used car that was in very good shape. They picked out the car and went inside to make the deal. But they ran into a snag. Grandpa didn't have a credit rating. Why? Because he never borrowed any money! He owned three houses and two apartments and never owed anyone anything for them, at least as far as the system was concerned. The bank would not loan him any money for a used car because he had never borrowed any money. And he was probably worth more money than the banker he was talking to. But that was how our ancestors were. They stayed out of banks and loan companies. They stay out of pawnshops and away from loan sharks. And that was just the way it was. It was the next generation that got into credit to any great degree. My generation got into credit in a big way and the ones after me went hog wild.
Though there are hundreds of things I miss about my old family now deceased, one of the major memories are the Christmas parties we used to have. My God. For a kid they were just absolutely wonderful. Grandpa had been good to all of his kids mates and they respected him to the maximum. I remember my Dad would not speak to my Uncle Harry for years, but for the Christmas party they got together and acted like things were okay. And they did that for Grandpa's sake. The party was a huge affair with kids all over the place. There were gifts by the wheel barrow load and a huge dinner. There were games for the adults and games for kids. So many fond memories of friendly people sitting around and having a good time. But when Grandpa died it ended. He was the glue that held the family all together and his passing was the signal for everyone to go their own selfish way. I hated to see him go. I just about lost it at his funeral. My oldest brother came up and held me and that is what kept me on my feet. After the main part of the ceremony at the funeral home they closed off the viewing room and just had his kids come in for one final look at their dad. I heard my Mom cry out "Oh Daddy!" and I was once again crying like Niagara Falls. Ah, they just don't make 'em like they used to. Stay alive.

GOD, AND LESSER THINGS
It is Monday morning and I have just looked at Lew Rockwell dot Com. Three gun articles. That is a high percentage of reading for LRC to have up for just one day. Is Lew trying to tell us something? Is something gnawing at his psyche that he feels to tell us to get guns? And by us I do not mean preppers but I mean the normal people who read LRC. Lew is telling them in his own way to get ready. And they had better pay attention! I don't give much credence to the guy who says if you can only have one gun you ought to have a high capacity 9mm semi automatic pistol. I think that advice sucks. Big time. It is the advice of someone who is not out of town. It is the advice of someone who is not planning on GETTING out of town. It is the advice of someone who is going to stay in town during the bad times. But I guess if you can't get out of town, then if you stay the 9mm might be a good idea. Me, I would rather be walking down the road carrying my 12 gauge pump. No one will bother me or be alarmed in the slightest. Just part of farm life, you know. And you let a raider come in here and I will show you another part of farm life. It will be time for a dirt nap. And 00 Buck will get the job done and the raider put to bed. I do not fear looters and raiders where I live. Too many places to hide. Too many places to ambush. We are the Viet Cong here. It's our home and we know the way around. It is a comforting thing.
Sunday night meeting was pretty damn good, if you ask me. One man gave a good long talk that I enjoyed very much. In his talk he said that God was a scientist. He knows everything about all the planetary systems and the black holes and all that stuff. And his scientific power reaches down to viruses and germs and even subatomic particles. There is just nothing he does not know. And he is our Father and he is looking out for us and he has all the power in creation to get the job done. That will let a guy sleep soundly at night. To hell with the problems of the world. We can't stop any of it anyhow so let God handle the mess. He is very much up to the task. " I wound and I heal. I kill and I make alive. I life up my arm to heaven and say I LIVE FOREVER." Now that is the ultimate stud of creation. The SUPREME guy. And he likes us. And you can tell our enemies about that. Some preppers are all up in arms about fearing this and fearing that and I think a lot of it is a waste of time. We have our food, our guns and ammo, our medical stuff and our water, so what the hell? We can only do so much and God knows it. So be at peace. The scripture says, "After having done all, stand." I can go along with that. And sleep well at night too.
The weather is warm and mild. The bugs and flies are having a great time. I am a little bummed out by that but I can live through it. The wife is getting her car fixed today and that is a great idea. I don't know where she got the money and I am not going to ask her. She has her methods. I know some of them but sometimes it is best not to comment. She does well. But even her efficiency is not enough to get rid of these damn beetles. Old man Winter will have to take care of them. I will not miss them.
Nothing specific on the outcome of the G-20 meeting except to say that currency distortions due to trade imbalances will be under observation. But I take that to mean that the dollar will get hit on a daily basis. It is getting hit today, even getting close to 74 cent territory as Gold and stocks keep going up. The stocks are manipulated and the Gold has now broken free of price control. I don't think the US government has the clout to manipulate the Gold market any more. It would cost too much and the over night buying and selling would just erase what the fedgov managed to accomplish.
I am considering what it means to be a citizen of the world. It is a weighty subject. But we all have to get to that place sooner or later. You can't imprison a man for leaving a place of poverty and drought and going somewhere that he could work and feed his family. That would be a crime. But the gangbangers and the dope dealers must stay away. They make it messed up for everybody. We will get into this in another post. Stay alive.

FOOD STORAGE, BEETLES, ETC.
Getting back to the survival business. It has been a long weekend and folks are ready to get back on the trip, or at lest I think they are. I was reading Pete Smith and he sounds like he is going to be increasing his prep acquisitions immediately. That is the kind of spirit we need in this struggle. We have to get ready for what ever life is going to throw at us. People stored up in the Bible for bad times. Our ancestors had not choice but to store food. They had no refrigeration. People today are different. Everyone is on the grid and using electricity to cool and freeze the food. And that is good but the best is the enemy of the good. And the best is to have food stored that takes no juice from the wires to keep it. No dependency.
We are in the middle of a beetle infestation. They are not Lady bugs and they aren't Potato Beetles but they are becoming a nuisance. They just crawl all over everything. And they bite if they get aroused. I have squashed about 300 of them in the last three weeks and you would think I was qualifying them for an Endangered Species entry. But that is a dead end street. You can't kill the damn things fast enough to make a dent in their population. I could use some bug killer on them but the cats are in the line of fire and I don't want to kill the cats. Ain't never seen a mouse in this apartment. No Cockroaches either. I have a female cat who hunts and eats bugs all night. But she won't touch one of those damn beetles.
And while I am on this trip with the Beetles, I am wondering when it is going to get cold. We have pretty well wiped out the first week of November and started on the second one. We need a bone chilling week and these damn bugs will go away for a long time. I have predicted a kick-ass Winter and so has the Farmers Almanac but it ain't here yet. Might be some El Nino trip. People in Mississippi are putting in their Winter gardens. They have a lot of moisture still in the ground and a tropical storm due to hit Tuesday or Wednesday. More moisture folks. Our ground here in southern Indiana is water logged also. Up in flat land country in the northern part of the state they are experiencing very wet corn and very wet beans. It is going to cost some folks some money but the way things are these days they HAVE to get that crop harvested.
The news is full of the story of the shooter down at Fort Hood. There is even a little bit of news about Kimberly Munley, the cop who put the crazy shooter down. She did it by the book. She saw what was going on and drew her gun and went straight at the shooter, firing at him until he went down. She took a hit through both legs but she had enough adrenalin to stay up until the shooter was stopped. She did the right thing. If you ever have to defend your people or your family, keep shooting until the threat is neutralized. Ain't any sense in letting a whacko get the chance to put YOU down. She was out in a patrol cat with another officer, I believe, when they saw something going wrong. They pulled in and Kimberly went into her act. Funny there was no shotgun in the car. A pump 12 gauge would have stopped the carnage very quickly. But I guess it was stopped quickly anyhow. But that aggressive forceful stopper is what wins the day. And I would say it was a bit scary, but that goes with the territory.
I am getting emails from people who are talking about defending themselves and storing a lot of food and all that stuff. And it is good to now that people are aware of what is going on and are trying to prepare for it. But a lot of "speakers" for the preparedness movement are little boys trying to act like big men. They have never built a town. They have never built an economic base that feeds all their people. They know nothing of handling the human family with all of it's problems. Oh, they know about Google Earth and being isolated and storing food and ammo and medicine. But they are not builders. They cannot construct a place for 150 to 200 people to live. They are talking the talk but they have not walked the walk. Be careful who you listen to. It could keep you healthy for a while longer. Stay alive.

TREACHERY AND FARMING
Just starting my Sunday blog on this chilly Saturday morning. I went to bed too early and got up too early and now I pay the price by being up and not having anything going. I have read my blogs for the morning. Not much email to get me enthused. So it must be time to get with my post of the day. You can't go wrong writing a survival blog anyhow. The best people in the country will be your audience. It doesn't get any better than that.
Five more banks went out last night. In the last 15 days we have had 21 bank closings. That figures out to be a rate of over 500 per year. There must be a lot of banks out there who bought screwy financial products with depositors money. They got greedy. They watched all these other banking idiots playing the go-go game and they just could not stand to stay out of it. They had to reach out there and make the BIG MONEY like the wise guys were doing. And now they pay the price of having their banks taken away and turned over to competing banks. We the people are really supposed to be backing the FDIC in their work of confiscating these banks and getting rid of the old management and ownership. And if banks have to fail because they did dumb things then so be it. They have a right to fail. Not everyone can make it all of the time in the world of money and finance. There is a natural progression of growth in the banking industry. It all hinges on the number of people in the area you service and the money they make and can save in your bank. When those parameters were discarded the banks started having trouble. The accountants got into creative bookkeeping. Shaky debts were called assets. Mortgages were issued to people who did not even have to verify their income. Sure wasn't that way when I was a kid. Mortgages were issued to people who could not afford to make payments. But their property was going to go up in value forever, you understand, and that would get them through, if you go along with the warped thinking being used. There is a procedure in business called "due diligence". It is supposed to be an investigation made before any investment made. Someone forgot about the investigations. They must of had too many martinis for breakfast, or something like that. People acting like they were in a drunken stupor instead of being astute business people. So they fail.
But this is not an isolated group of failed businesses. This is a pandemic of failed businesses. This crap went on all over the nation. And it is being cooked down to the point that We The People are going to be asked to bear the cost of this bullshit. I am sure you have been reading about privatizing profits and socializing debt. That is what the name of the game is. The TOO BIG TO FAIL banks make the money and the loses are charged up to John Q. Taxpayer. Pretty cool huh? And they are getting ready to take another big dump onto our platter. We are going to get government health care. How cute. It's gonna cost over a TRILLION DOLLARS the next ten years, but there is no burden the scalawags in Congress will not pass on to the taxpayer. You read about Nancy Pelosi reneging on her promise to put the text of the bill up on the Internet for a few days before the bill gets voted on. This is a crock of crap. This is the method by which the socialist scum in congress will get out of being responsible for the cost of that bill. They can then say that they didn't get a chance to read the bill and they just went along with what the leadership said they should do. And Ol' Nancy doesn't give a shit. She will be the scapegoat for all the cowardly bastards who will vote for this abomination. She has a pretty secure district she represents and personally won't have much trouble getting re-elected. But enough of the lesser thieves WILL have trouble and they want a way to shuck the blame. It is all a con game, hitched to the idea of getting re-elected until the ditsy bastards can claim a pension. And they do get beautiful pensions and health care when they retire or are retired. Not that it matters all that much as 200 or 300 hundred of them are millionaires. Bend over and grease it up America because you are about to get it shoved in again.
To get off of this foul political bullshit I want to tell you about and article in the Backwoods Home Magazine. The article is at http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/clay120.html and it is a good one. It's Jackie Clay writing about raising a bottle calf for meat. Could be a cheap way to fill the freezer with beef, if we get electricity when the collapse comes. If the power goes out you had better be ready to make a lot of Beef Jerky and Pemmican before the meat goes bad. Nothing works perfectly or doesn't break, so be ready with your alternative plan for saving your meat investment. I have read some fine articles in this issue of BHM. They even have a blog section and a way you can ask Jackie Clay about gardening and farming. Check it out and have some fun. Life ain't all government treachery and banker rip-offs! I'll close today with the advice to listen to Gerald Celente on Lew Rockwell. It's at http://www.lewrockwell.com/celente/celente19.1.html and all 4 of the audios comprise about 40 minutes. Very interesting and very informative. Stay alive.

But their property was going to go up in value forever, you understand, and that would get them through, if you go along with the warped thinking being used. There is a procedure in business called "due diligence". It is supposed to be an investigation made before any investment made. Someone forgot about the investigations. They must of had too many martinis for breakfast, or something like that. People acting like they were in a drunken stupor instead of being astute business people. So they fail.
But this is not an isolated group of failed businesses. This is a pandemic of failed businesses. This crap went on all over the nation. And it is being cooked down to the point that We The People are going to be asked to bear the cost of this bullshit. I am sure you have been reading about privatizing profits and socializing debt. That is what the name of the game is. The TOO BIG TO FAIL banks make the money and the loses are charged up to John Q. Taxpayer. Pretty cool huh? And they are getting ready to take another big dump onto our platter. We are going to get government health care. How cute. It's gonna cost over a TRILLION DOLLARS the next ten years, but there is no burden the scalawags in Congress will not pass on to the taxpayer. You read about Nancy Pelosi reneging on her promise to put the text of the bill up on the Internet for a few days before the bill gets voted on. This is a crock of crap. This is the method by which the socialist scum in congress will get out of being responsible for the cost of that bill. They can then say that they didn't get a chance to read the bill and they just went along with what the leadership said they should do. And Ol' Nancy doesn't give a shit. She will be the scapegoat for all the cowardly bastards who will vote for this abomination. She has a pretty secure district she represents and personally won't have much trouble getting re-elected. But enough of the lesser thieves WILL have trouble and they want a way to shuck the blame. It is all a con game, hitched to the idea of getting re-elected until the ditsy bastards can claim a pension. And they do get beautiful pensions and health care when they retire or are retired. Not that it matters all that much as 200 or 300 hundred of them are millionaires. Bend over and grease it up America because you are about to get it shoved in again.
To get off of this foul political bullshit I want to tell you about and article in the Backwoods Home Magazine. The article is at http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/clay120.html and it is a good one. It's Jackie Clay writing about raising a bottle calf for meat. Could be a cheap way to fill the freezer with beef, if we get electricity when the collapse comes. If the power goes out you had better be ready to make a lot of Beef Jerky and Pemmican before the meat goes bad. Nothing works perfectly or doesn't break, so be ready with your alternative plan for saving your meat investment. I have read some fine articles in this issue of BHM. They even have a blog section and a way you can ask Jackie Clay about gardening and farming. Check it out and have some fun. Life ain't all government treachery and banker rip-offs! I'll close today with the advice to listen to Gerald Celente on Lew Rockwell. It's at http://www.lewrockwell.com/celente/celente19.1.html and all 4 of the audios comprise about 40 minutes. Very interesting and very informative. Stay alive.

MURDER, HOPE, AND FAILURE
A Muslim shot and killed about thirteen people at Fort Hood, Texas yesterday and the media is all upset. What's to be upset about? We have been fighting these people for the last 20 years or so. They hate our guts. They hate Israel's guts. They are a murderous people and love to kill the infidel. So what is the big shock? You let a Muslim guy get around an army post and he gets guns and then goes to work and you are surprised? This is ridiculous. You don't let your enemy into the camp and let him have a crack at your own people. And you can say all the politically correct bullshit you wish to spout off but it ain't going to bring back those dead people. And there will be more dead people. Did you ever wonder why the blacks in prisons become Muslims? I'll tell you why. It gives hope to their hatred. It puts an idea in their mind that some day, some how, there will be revenge to heap on Whitey and that is the day they live for. Those guys aren't religious, they are murders. They want to kill us. And we deny that facet in their character. Bush started that bullshit and now Obama is keeping it going. I repent of political correctness.
I am sitting here wondering when the action is going to start. And I suppose a lot of others are doing the same thing. We can report on this travesty and that travesty but the big one is not here as yet. The big crunch. The collapse. Folks are talking about 2010 and so forth. Hell, I thought 2009 would do just fine. It is just annoying to watch these rotten bastards getting their way and ripping off the country and the rest of the world. I despise the bastards. And I know that every day that goes by strengthens them and makes their plans more solidified, more complete. And more oppressive. I can handle the wait and I am sure they can feel honor in not being the first to be blown dead on my stairway. I could very easily get into a Mayberry rant right here and go mentally ballistic. Would not be a problem at all. In fact I could really get into it.
I am pleased to announce that I have won a Slinky Short Wave Antenna from Pete Smith at http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/. I am proud to get it. I will be hooking it to a short wave radio pretty soon after it gets here. Fred Carter has one, just down the road about a half a mile. He will be coming here for the collapse and we will probably be using that antenna for scanning the airwaves for news of the world, especially after the Internet is shut down. I wondered how we could get information during a crisis and now the answer is becoming apparent. We will get our news from short wave. We don't have TV so we have to seek news some other way. I just am not going to pay to watch government propaganda on a TV. Short wave will do the trick. And there are plenty of them out there to listen to. Thank you, Pete, for the nice addition to our preps. By the way, dear readers, Pete makes these antennas himself. Pretty smart cookie!
The market was ruled by fear today. Nothing did much of anything because of the news that national unemployment was over 10%. But the fedgov had in it's always glorious figures an announcement that seasonally adjusted figures, what ever the hell that means, put the unemployment at 17.5%. Which all means that we are somewhere between 25% and 35% unemployed. Nothing like an honest government to make your day. People are losing their homes and running out of unemployment benefits and towns and cities are starting to go bankrupt and just all kinds of shitty things. But the Wall Street bankers are doing well and partying like mad dogs. The guy who shot and killed someone in Florida had just gotten laid off. We are going to see more of that as the days go by.
My advice to the little family I am in was this: Keep buying the food we eat for as long as we can get it. Keep buying preps for as long as we can afford them. When those options run out then we go on our survival rations. There really ain't much else we can do. Our beans and rice in our new garbage cans are okay as of last month. We have them stored with Bay Leaves and they are frozen before being stored. Vermin do not like Bay Leaves and freezing kills of any eggs that might be in the food. At least it works for us. Do what you have to do to get by and let the small stuff go away on it's own. We will be really close with our money but there is a chance we will make it. Don't worry, just get busy! And stay alive.

THEY'RE JUST TRASH
Things are looking up on the "convincing" front. I had an opponent of mine, not really an opponent but a non-believer in most aspects of my personal philosophy of life, call me to tell me about Alex Jones' new movie, The Fall of the Empire. He has become quite a champion of watching the fedgov and seeing them sell us out. And that is exactly what they are doing. The government is selling us out, that is... our substance as far as any wealth, to the bankers and brokers from Wall Street. Our lives are being burdened clear through our children's and our grandchildren's lives. They are being made to be debt slaves forever. This is the BIG SELLOUT! The Bible says to store up for the young. The dogs on Wall Street want to put chains on our young instead. I believe this qualifies them as being degenerates. They will make good compost in the future.
Take the inheritance from our kids. What a crock of crap. Kids that haven't done any evil on the earth are going to be made to pay for the sins of some greedy jackals on Wall Street. You know, I worked hard, like a dog in fact, to buy this land here in the Valley. And I was not alone. Not by any means. There were many, many men who labored for no pay in order for the land and buildings to be purchased and built. And it was tough, you know. But we always said that progress comes on children's feet. We knew we were just building a launching platform. The generations behind us will fire the rocket of Peace and Righteousness and let it go forth across the planet. And this is what we did and why we did it. The Old Man could not be thrown off the course. He loved the ideal and he loved the plan and he loved the people of the future. And the land and buildings came together. And we keep and trim the Valley, waiting for the day when God will say "GO!" and the next phase of the project is launched. And then people can begin to be fed and housed and taught the truth. And the bankers would take this away from the world? They would try to stifle the plan of God? They would try to enslave the people in a manner so unseemly as to be repulsive? I think we will have to deny their claim of money and labor owed. We the people did not do it. We did not make any of the secret deals. It has been a hoax from the beginning.
Just to make it really clear, the crooks in this scam are the Bankers, Wall Street, the Media, and the lawyers we have representing us in Washington, D.C. That is the Cabal of this Conspiracy. And it is not a theory. It is fact. There is no getting around the idea that these people have done the deeds. They are guilty as hell and deserving of grave punishment. It is a measure of character that we face in these crooks. Their greed knows no limits. They wish to take the lives of our children and the food from our retired people, and that together is one hell of an abomination. God is not happy with these people. He is not happy at all. They have manipulated the stock market and have plundered the retirement funds. They have given mortgages to people who have no business having a mortgage and who will be cast out on the streets. They have bankrupted entire states and only want to do it some more. Cities are declaring bankruptcy. And more will follow. Many more.
But there is a way out of this mess and we preppers know what it is. It is the banding together in small groups and clans and seeing to the welfare of everyone in the group. It is in gardening and farming, producing your own food. It is taking your security achievement away from the governments and taking responsibility yourself. We are to be in the likeness of our Father and not like a dulled, drug ridden, TV rotted brain, lump of trash fit for nothing. And it is that simple. You have to take on the raising of your families and the growing of your food and the defense of your clan. It is time to prepare to take on being the fathers and mothers and grandparents of a new society. A society we can be proud of and which will earn the blessings of God. So be it. Stay alive.
