I have absolutely no idea what I am going to write about so here goes.
I am having thoughts about the fall of the American economy. Reading about the power and might of the US war machine makes me think that no one will want to piss piss the beast called America. The power and might of the war machine is fantastic. Our Navy rules the waves. Our missiles are the fear of the world. Our troops can win a war or a battle, if you send enough of them in to do the job. Our agriculture is a heavy hitter on the world market.
Our manufacturing is out to lunch. We are financed by the rest of the world's ability to lend to us. Our biggest export is Treasury Bills. Our economy is weak and our war machine is strong. What's up, Doc?
I think the rest of the world will consider the opposing views of financial suicide or fighting the beast. The fight gets my vote. To hell with suicide because Bernanke is mad at you.

Here is the latest notice I have of the flu virus running wild in Ukraine. This is not pretty. I got it from http://thecomingdepression.blogspot.com/ . This guy is good and does his homework.There are now 1.3 million infected in Ukraine, and over 75,000 hospitalized -- IN FOURTEEN DAYS. This is very serious! Based on previous clinical data we can expect over 8,000 to be dead or soon to be dead. Forward projection of the epidemic is difficult because the clinical attack rate is unknown -- but myself and my associates remain concerned it may be quite high. Deaths globally may be in the millions. Let's hope this is not the case.
******************
I am taking Elderberry Tincture every day. Screw this man made flu. I take Vitamin C and D-3. I sometimes take Garlic and eat Kimchee. I take a good dusting of Cayenne on my eggs ever morning. Cayenne has the reputation for busting other herbs and spices you might be taking. I am not going to take a flu shot.
There is a very interesting story at http://johngaltfla.com/blog3/2009/11/18/the-day-the-dollar-died/ . Vlad sent it to me this a.m. Read it and know that it is prophetic. Something along this order will probably happen to us here in the United States. While you are reading it you will not find it difficult to believe what so ever. Stay alive.

TRUCKING AND MONEY
Just plain old ugly outside. Deeply overcast and raining with a chill in the air. I don't like wet cold. Never have and never will. But the bugs are backed off a little bit this morning and I am grateful for that. I reckon there is a silver lining in every dark cloud if we but know what to look for.
I am thinking about the trucking industry this morning. It is getting cooked down to just the big boys. The independent trucker is getting his ass tore off. Something like 50 or 100 a day are mailing their plates in to the Indiana BMV every day. That is going to be a lot of drivers looking for other work. And most of them are not covered by unemployment. For them it will be root hog or die. I hate this crap. These guys are just trying to make a living and they are getting stepped on like bugs. So we lose a lot of truckers and the big boys gobble up what is left and to hell with the people. And everything the people gets is hauled by truck. There ain't a damn thing I can think of that does not reach destination by truck. Everything in your grocery store. Every thing you buy at a hamburger joint. Every article of clothing at the stores. Your fuel. Your tires. Your medicine. Your guns and ammo. EVERYTHING.
And the truckers are going out rapidly. What will happen to us? It's hard to say. But it will not be good. And don't forget those men who drive and haul every day. They will be out of work. I reckon that after a couple of years of misery and hunger we will see something arise from the ashes that will give us our supplies again. To be truthful, I think we will be better off not buying food and other stuff if we can possibly keep from it. Grow your food. Mend your clothes. Let your kids make their own toys. Except for some essential medicines we need to get by with as little economic activity concerning the general national economy as we possibly can. And don't forget that Warren Buffet invested HIS money in the railroad last week. (I think something is trying to get through to me.) But no matter what happens I am finding this truck shut down troubling. This cannot do us any good.
The market is nuts again. Gold is down as well as silver. The dollar is up, and we all know the dollar is as useless as tits on a boar. The other countries of the world are printing up currency just as fast as we are but the dollar is acting like it is just a little too sick to hold anymore. And why should they sacrifice what little security they have to do us any favors? With all the treasury bills we have handed out over the years we sure haven't done anything to earn any fiscal loyalty. Stay alive.

EGGS, ICE AGE, ECONOMICS
Overcast this morning but there is sunlight in my heart. I have the word that Remus is gonna put out a powdered egg recipe on his Woodpile Report tonight. Hot damn! I do want to make powdered eggs. They are good for you and they are not cheap if you have to buy them. But if the morons of society can produce them then we preppers can damn well do it also. Brains are what it takes and the preppers have more of them than any other group of people I know. I am thinking about all that protein being stored away. Range fed Amish eggs reduced to a storable, usable, powder. Not the snotty, watery eggs you get at the store. Good stuff that will keep you strong. You can read the Woodpile Report at http://woodpilereport.com/ tonight. Remus is pretty good about getting it out when there is still time left in the day to read it. Enjoy.
Checking the financial reports this morning brought me the news that the dollar is below 75 cents this morning. Now you know we are in the midst of a recovery and all of that and we will not be getting any cost of living allowance for our social security this year because we have it so damn good, but there is a hint of inflation on the screen today. We will be cutting back on meat anyhow so as long as I can keep the protein intake up with eggs I will be okay. There is also rice and beans too. And cornbread and beans. And hunting and fishing. Hell, we'll get real healthy as soon as this economy craters! Hah!
I have been reading an article on Lew Rockwell about some Russians who say we are headed into a very, very cold temperature time. Maybe another Ice Age. I know how to prep for that. I'll get me a back pack and some walking shoes, a Ruger 10/22 for protection and game getting along with plenty of ammo, and a damn fine compass. And then I will head South. I'll have me some warm clothes in the pack and some emergency rations of some sort and then it is off to Mexico! And if that ain't enough I will be off to Ecuador. But I will find SOMEPLACE warm to live for a while. When I get there I will be in fine physical condition, if I make it. But I don't know that it is a really pressing issue at this time. If I am fortunate to be able to drive down South I will take some Grape cuttings to get myself a little business going when I get to warmer climes.
Things are looking very bad on the economic front this week. The dollar is down in 74 cent range. One alternative economist says when ti gets to the 72 cent range we have collapse. I have said 71 cents would get it. Gold is up like a monster and silver went up $1 an ounce today. The media is crowing that the dollar devaluation is going to make our exports sell well overseas. Michael asks, "What exports?" Treasury bonds? This export thing is a joke of the worst magnitude. We don't have a manufacturing base to make anything to export. It's all a joke. So get ready. I think the time is at hand. And I could be full of shit too. But it just looks to me that God is getting ready to flush the whole damn system. Inflation is what is driving the price of gold and silver up. It will drive up the price of our food. But it likely won't drive up the price of your wages. Folks working for the fedgov should make out okay but us peons will have to bite the bullet and make out the best we can.m Pay no attention the the stock market and so called leading indicators. Watch that dollar price! The system IS THE DOLLAR and when it goes the whole damn thing will fall. Get your preps in order and get them stored away. Order some non-hybrid seed to grow your food next year. These are the things that will save your life and keep you out of FEMA camps. And I hope to God you avoid the FEMA camps. Stay free. Stay out of the clutches of the state. Feed your family. If you ain't got as clan together then you are missing out on the top drawer of survivalism. Stay out of armed camps that profess to be militias. They will be loaded with fedgov spies and snitches. Only those extremely close to you should know what you have and what you are doing. Stay alive, please.

SURVIVAL FOOD
I have been thinking about making money off of survivalism. I equate that with something pretty low in my opinion. The person selling the different products instills a fear in his potential customers and makes the removal of the fear dependant on buying his goods and services. This is bullshit. I have checked them out and the stuff they sell is too high. They are attempting to make too much money off of their customers. Do not be fooled by these people. They are doing well by your efforts to support them and their agendas. Last night the Handmaiden made a chuck roast dinner for us. Now, chuck roast is the toughest, cheapest roast you can buy. But my Handmaiden knows a trick or two to help it be tender and juicy. Her number one trick is to roast it in a plastic bag. Those plastic baking bags hold moisture and flavor in like nothing else. Her next trick is to use her little coffee grinder to grind up some of her dehydrated onions, about a sandwich bag of them, and mix them with some flour and salt and pepper and other goodies and pour them into the bag with the roast, along with a little water, but not much water. Makes a perfect gravy and moisturizer for the meat. It comes out flavorful and tender and makes a wonderful supper. And this is how you make a high class pot roast dinner for a small family with very little money. And these are the things that should be told to other preppers. This is how you can make it in pretty good style for very little money. You just watch the stores and when the beef chuck roast comes on sale you grab it and celebrate!
We buy canned meats at Aldi's and Walmart and pay a low-ball price. We have had this meat for almost two years and it is fine. You can get whatever you like. Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Fish. And you have the meat and you don't have the high overhead of buying SURVIVAL food. When it says LONG TERM STORAGE or SURVIVAL FOOD or anything like that you had better be ready to fork over the dollars. Canned vegetables are still pretty cheap, as far as things go, and you can stock up on them for low dollars. Right now I am looking for a recipe to make powdered eggs for our storage. When we find the right recipe we will publish the news and the results, because we are not asking you to support us. But be that as it may, we still have plenty of food in storage that did not cost us an arm and a leg. For those of you in the "low income boat" like we are, there are much cheaper ways to go to in preparing yourself than buying SURVIVAL food. The ingredients are all commercially grown foods anyhow. There is no organic food among the purveyors of these products. It could all be loaded with chemicals and genetically modified foods. It is just NO BIG DEAL. Just a high dollar item to feed on your fears. And you should not be afraid. YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED! If you aren't then you had better get to it.
It takes a certain amount of brain power to be a prepper. If you have good money then it takes a bit less. Money just means you do not have to think about prepping very much. You write the check and the stuff comes to your door via truck and you are good to go. But if you don't have that money and you still want to prep then you have to use the old brain a bit. You have to make room in your budget to buy your canned foods. You have to check prices and availability. Then you have to store the stuff. And most folks don't have much storage room. Pantries were left out of the housing budget many years ago. Gardening is an almost lost art that is making a helluva comeback here in America. A few seeds can make you a lot of food! And if you can get non-hybrid seed you are really on the ball. My wife is becoming a wild food forager of some skill and dedication. That keeps the food bill down to reasonable cost. And all of this stuff takes brains! You can't buy your brain, you have to use it. Whatever you exercise the most will get to be the strongest. If you learn to grow garden and forage then you need to learn to can and dehydrate. That way you can store that food for later eating. But it takes brains and the use of them. America is not used to thinking like it used to be. So you steal a march on the dumbasses and start using your thinking machine up there between your ears. It is your most important prepping and survival tool anyhow. And it is one of the few things that will not run out from being used up. Stay alive.

LAZY DAY
There will not be much of a post today. I didn't get inspired to any great degree so that is that.
I did get some info out of a book that said if the FDA checked human meat it would be declared toxic. We have ingested so many chemicals that we are are toxic waste dumps. Happy chemicals! And all of you potential cannibals can think about this for a while. Eat and die!
I got into another book today and it said that olives could be grown here in this country and it gave the latitude and longitude of where it could happen and the average temperature it would take. I have Mike Kemp looking at it down in Mississippi.
Mainly I am thinking about being a world citizen. It has a meaning that is very deep and meaningful.
Have a happy Sunday and enjoy yourselves. You deserve it.

SOME THOUGHTS
It was 32 degrees this morning and the damn beetles are invisible. I am sure they will be out soon enough but it is heartening to know they took a hit last night. Just wait until it hits the teens during the night! Ahh...bliss. It's cold in the Winter but it is pretty much bug free. I know we need bugs for certain things like pollination and feeding our bird friends and the like, but these beetles are not feeding anything and they are not pollinating anything and they are just a major nuisance. And they bite when the mood strikes them. They ought to go stay in the woods where they belong.
Sitting out on the porch at the crack of dawn. Puffing on a cigarette and thinking about things. A big bore rifle or shotgun started going off now and then. I enjoy that sound. That meant there were armed individuals out on the property and making it apparent to whoever was listening. Hope they got some squirrels or what ever they were after. There is a lot of game in this area. Has been ever since I came here to the area and that was 38 years ago, soon to be 39. You can eat here in this Valley. The men know all about the game and some women are learning the free vegetables that grow so abundantly. Seems like we can make it here. Seems like maybe a couple hundred thousand might live here and live well. Maybe even a million. We know about how to provide housing for that many people and a rough idea of how to feed them. It will be good and very good.
The Handmaiden stopped at the library to pick up her normal armload of reading material yesterday and brought home a real winner. It's title is Self sufficient Life and How to Live it and it is by John Seymour. He is an Englishman but has lived all over the world. He has passed on now and this is his gift to us. He was a real character. He was in his 80's when he got arrested for tearing up Monsanto's GMO plot in England, along with 11 other people. I think that was in 1997 or 1998. But he is a real guy and a real survivalist. His book is well illustrated and easy to follow. There is a lot on gardening, as you can well imagine. He gets into grafting of fruit trees and all sorts of stuff, always with great drawings of what he is talking about. You can see the different prices you can buy this book for at http://www.amazon.com/Self-sufficient-Life-How-Live/dp/0789493322. We have the best copy you can buy and it is hard bound and a good protective book jacket to go with it. I can say it is worth a read, if not a buy, and it might give you some tips you never thought of or heard of. As you might expect, I was very impressed with this book.Pretty much a boring day. I am expecting a collapse and it ain't here yet. Damn. But my reading is that when a currency collapses there is no warning. It's just gone.
Stay alive.

A GOOSE
Well, are we tough enough to make? Have we got enough backbone from our ancestors to cut the mustard one more time and reclaim our inheritance? Our scriptures say we are to have dominion over all creatures here on the earth and I reckon that goes for soulless bastards too. And we sure do have a wide selection of soulless to choose from.
I have been sitting out on my porch sorta mediating on the small lake down below. There is a goose that lives on our lake. And as a young goose it bonded with a row boat used by the little lady who fed the goose. Now she is in her first year of college and the goose is on it's own. The goose followed that little rowboat around that lake when ever her mistress was using it. It became the goose's master, sort of. It's like some women who have a very silent husband. He doesn't say much and so the women will make up in their mind what he is thinking about. It's all a fantasy but that's the way it is. But this goose hangs out on the shore, eating grass and what not, around that boat. I sometimes wonder what thoughts pass through her mind about that boat. "He's so smart he can just ignore me." "He can go weeks without even moving." And the game goes on and on. But that dumb goose is like America! It's like America being promised change, with no explanation of said change, and worshipping a candidate for office. And the ignorant goose/electorate makes up the whole story as life goes on. And that is because they did not listen to some old shit who knows the story of the goose. And you can explain the goose and talk about it bonding with the boat but they won't look past that and see themselves. Life is funny that way. Back in the early 70's the Old Man had an idea that we would call our movement the ICU which stood for International Communal Utopia. But looking beyond the name is the concept of "I see you." I know what you are. I know what makes your clock tick. And you can't fathom my mind for you are a stupid goose. It is all a matter of looking beyond the material, the visible, and finding the real reason behind what we see with our eyes. When you see the electorate acting in a highly stupid and unreasonable manner then you know it is just a goose and subject to error. Stay away from that shit. Don't get involved. You have better things to do.
Gonna have fried chicken for supper tonight. I absolutely love fried chicken. It's hard to fry anymore. The chicken pieces are so thick you can hardly get it done. The Handmaiden has to boil it first to get it cooked and then fry it. The wonders of Chemistry and modern science. And modern science is what it takes to properly cook the stuff. You can go to Golden Corral in town and they can serve you up some very good chicken but I cannot afford their machinery to do it. They probably use 200 or 300 pound of it a day and I am not in that league. So, the Handmaiden has to use her tricks to get the job done for I cannot abide underdone chicken. I won't eat it.
The price of gold is going up and down a bit all the time. I liked one writers opinion that said gold was not getting more expensive but rather the dollar was getting to be worth less and less all the time. Made perfect sense to me. Someone figured out that what a dollar would buy right before the Federal Reserve took over now takes over $23 to acquire. The federal reserve is supposed to protect us against inflation. And they have never done that. And the Obama administration is going to inflate our currency like crazy to pay off our debts around the globe. Sure will be some unhappy bond holders when that happens. Wouldn't be too bad if we got raises that took care of the inflation and what it does to our wallets, but we are not going to get them. The capitalistic system is being wiped out in this country. Only the supper rich will have what it takes to go their own way. The rest of us will have to beg to live at our retreats and sustain ourselves as best we can. Hard times are not here yet, for most of us, but they are damn sure coming. Hell, 70% of us still have jobs. But that is going to end quickly and we have been warned. Then all of that stuff you have accomplished while prepping will be of good cheer. Just don't let anyone take it from you. And they will damn sure try. Don't doubt that. I aim to make it my policy that they will fail if they come to my house. You do the same. And stay alive.

And as a young goose it bonded with a row boat used by the little lady who fed the goose. Now she is in her first year of college and the goose is on it's own. The goose followed that little rowboat around that lake when ever her mistress was using it. It became the goose's master, sort of. It's like some women who have a very silent husband. He doesn't say much and so the women will make up in their mind what he is thinking about. It's all a fantasy but that's the way it is. But this goose hangs out on the shore, eating grass and what not, around that boat. I sometimes wonder what thoughts pass through her mind about that boat. "He's so smart he can just ignore me." "He can go weeks without even moving." And the game goes on and on. But that dumb goose is like America! It's like America being promised change, with no explanation of said change, and worshipping a candidate for office. And the ignorant goose/electorate makes up the whole story as life goes on. And that is because they did not listen to some old shit who knows the story of the goose. And you can explain the goose and talk about it bonding with the boat but they won't look past that and see themselves. Life is funny that way. Back in the early 70's the Old Man had an idea that we would call our movement the ICU which stood for International Communal Utopia. But looking beyond the name is the concept of "I see you." I know what you are. I know what makes your clock tick. And you can't fathom my mind for you are a stupid goose. It is all a matter of looking beyond the material, the visible, and finding the real reason behind what we see with our eyes. When you see the electorate acting in a highly stupid and unreasonable manner then you know it is just a goose and subject to error. Stay away from that shit. Don't get involved. You have better things to do.
Gonna have fried chicken for supper tonight. I absolutely love fried chicken. It's hard to fry anymore. The chicken pieces are so thick you can hardly get it done. The Handmaiden has to boil it first to get it cooked and then fry it. The wonders of Chemistry and modern science. And modern science is what it takes to properly cook the stuff. You can go to Golden Corral in town and they can serve you up some very good chicken but I cannot afford their machinery to do it. They probably use 200 or 300 pound of it a day and I am not in that league. So, the Handmaiden has to use her tricks to get the job done for I cannot abide underdone chicken. I won't eat it.
The price of gold is going up and down a bit all the time. I liked one writers opinion that said gold was not getting more expensive but rather the dollar was getting to be worth less and less all the time. Made perfect sense to me. Someone figured out that what a dollar would buy right before the Federal Reserve took over now takes over $23 to acquire. The federal reserve is supposed to protect us against inflation. And they have never done that. And the Obama administration is going to inflate our currency like crazy to pay off our debts around the globe. Sure will be some unhappy bond holders when that happens. Wouldn't be too bad if we got raises that took care of the inflation and what it does to our wallets, but we are not going to get them. The capitalistic system is being wiped out in this country. Only the supper rich will have what it takes to go their own way. The rest of us will have to beg to live at our retreats and sustain ourselves as best we can. Hard times are not here yet, for most of us, but they are damn sure coming. Hell, 70% of us still have jobs. But that is going to end quickly and we have been warned. Then all of that stuff you have accomplished while prepping will be of good cheer. Just don't let anyone take it from you. And they will damn sure try. Don't doubt that. I aim to make it my policy that they will fail if they come to my house. You do the same. And stay alive.
