Hi folks! I managed to coax this machine into letting me type another blog. How wonderful. I went to a neighbors house and had chili tonight. Pretty fancy for a guy who don't go out much. Probably 20 people there including my son. I even drank a beer. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. I listened to a guy tell a story of a Rabbi he just visited. The Rabbi took him downstairs into his basement and showed him his preps. Tons of food and much firepower. Big time firepower. All kinds of guns that go bang. Ammo out the wazzoo. The Rabbi said, "She's going down!" And I wasn't there but I would have said "Amen!" to him. Sho 'nuff.
I was reading Mish Shedlock over on Dollar Collapse and he had put up a copy of the speech given by the Governor of Arizona telling the citizens of the dry state that they are about to go though some of the toughest times ever seen since Arizona became a state. The previous governor left Arizona to become head of the Gestapo here in America. Not something you picture the Governor of Arizona doing but it has happened. But the Gov knew what he was talking about. No joke. Ahnold of Californacate has gone to Washington and told Obama that he cannot get a budget without a huge bailout from the fedgov. Billions! The left coast is toast.
Gonnna get cold here this weekend and stay that way for a while. Even Kemp, living about 60 miles due North of of Baton Rouge is gonna see 27 degrees come Saturday. Just some more of that Gorebal warming I reckon. And Al Gore knows that blizzards follow him around all Winter and he still tries to pull off his warming song and dance. You would think someone would clue him in.
Someone knocked the Pope on his ass in the big Basilica in Rome as he was walking in a procession to get to the alter. Some woman did it. But it is no big deal for a woman to knock over an 80 some year old man. But that is the second dignitary to get whacked in Italy in the last couple of weeks. People may be getting fed up over something in different parts of the world. And that would not surprise me one damn bit. In case you haven't noticed, things are not running smoothly around the globe. It is about my bed time and I will sign off. Stay sober and don't get any drunk driving arrests on your record. Stay alive.

A LEGACY
June 10, 2035 We haven't done anything about the springs on the hill. My father is too involved in the affairs of the Eastern Confederacy and their possible war effort. But the men are watching closely and news is being transmitted by mouth as to what is going on. I can't tell what is the truth and what isn't, but father says there is no word as yet of the E.C. crossing their borders. Scouts are out all over the place but nothing has been seen or reported. Father has sent riders to the Ohio Confederacy to find out their mind on the subject but they admit to knowing nothing and maybe even less than nothing. The Southern Confederacy has men in the E.C. on diplomatic missions and they also are reporting nothing. Perhaps it is just a wild rumor. But some of the Western regions of North Carolina have definitely left the E.C. Something will be found out, I am sure. If the E.C. does not react with violence it will be a first. They are what we call Socialists and they take what others have and give it to those who don't have and thus they are hated though out the land. It would be different if they were helping others who had suffered a terrible misfortune but it is an every day occurrence with them. They give away what is not theirs all the time.
But the possible war with the E.C, is not the only thing going on. We have had great growing success with our crops and our animals this year. The calves were all done and nursing by the middle of May. The goats and sheep are in superb condition. Our milk cows are giving milk like crazy. We will have cheese running out of our ears this Winter. The chickens are doing well and we should have eggs in abundance. We have so many eggs now that father is having us make powdered eggs for possible barter or hard times. Father never forgets hard times. His father didn't either. And Daniel built the first concrete block and concrete capped cellar for the village years ago. A line of preppers they are.
Father told me about people who disagreed with the survival philosophy of his clan. He called them the "Paper People." They followed what was written down on paper. And they tried to get you to do the same thing. Everything was to be sensible and reasonable and sharing and caring. But the collapse taught the people that what was written on paper did not matter too much to looters and raiders. And it turned out that a lot of Paper People were the very ones who became the looters. They were the very ones who robbed and killed the people working to survive. The "rules" were a myth established to take people off guard, to weaken their position in life. Most of the Paper People were Socialists. They used every trick in the book to get people to disarm themselves. Religion, politics, whatever. But it always led to them being strong and you being weak. Not a good thing in my father's way of thinking.
We have survived. We have worked hard and done without to achieve our survival. And it has paid off over the years. We are a healthy and well nourished people. We eat clean food and drink good water. And in those things we have been blessed. It would be harsh for those who would want to take our food and our livelihoods from us. We would be killing them all day and night. Life teaches you about certain things. Certain things like keeping the clan fed and secure. Things like not paying too much attention to those who obey paper. Paper worshippers are a drag on the economy. My father says that if he was a Paper Person he wouldn't last 60 seconds in his office and that is basically because of his own teachings. There are some smart men and women among us and they would not tolerate a give away guy to lead them. They will help out neighbors who suffer a calamity but the will not take on the task of supporting those who will not work to make it. Like we do and did.
My grandfather was a very big man, both in courage and physical size. I remember very little of him, but I have a picture of me sitting on his knee as a very young child. He looked like he was enjoying the moment. I surely hope so. He trod the road of survivalism when other men would not. He chose survivalism when all over the country people were crying up recovery and prosperity. And in the end he as right. And we pray that our doctrine of being ready and prepared is the answer to the storms and problems of today.
June 17, 2035 The word has gotten to us that the Eastern Confederacy has crossed over into the breakaway parts of North Carolina. My father has sent two, three man patrols out to check on the situation. They are bound to find out and at least one patrol get back to us. Communication is a hit and miss proposition these days. We have no radio or Internet or Television. Reaction time is slow. But we will find out what is going on, sooner or later. The neighboring areas DID get the word out that the peace had been breached in North Carolina. Works every time. Father will check and see what damage, if any. is being done. But wagons of supplies and guns and ammo are being gathered up and it looks like war to me. Horses are being brought in and worked to get them used to pulling again. Men are doing calisthenics and getting into shape. We will try to ride to battle if we can but we will be prepared to march there if necessary. We await the word.
June 21, 2035 We are going to march. Father has gotten the word and the battle is going to be joined. It will be horrendous. There are troops coming from all over the Central Confederacy and the Southern Confederacy to meet the Eastern Confederacy at their border. The Ohio Confederacy is going up against the Virginia border to prohibit any attacks from an unexpected source. We leave in an hour.
June 23, 2035 Pushing hard to get to the battle. We have made it to the Ohio River at the Ohio line. We will be crossing at the first good bridge. We are on fast pace road march and there is not a lot of time devoted to creature comforts. The animals seem to be holding up well and the drivers are being very careful not to wear them out from too much work. So far we are still riding and our horses are getting plenty of grain from the supply wagons. There is a high expectancy in the air. Men are wanting to get to the action and get it on. A suitable bridge has been found and we are getting ready to cross the big river.

POISON GAS
Just trying to digest the events of the world as I see 'em. The most troubling is the EPA saying that carbon dioxide is a toxic substance. I guess that means I can be arrested and imprisoned for breathing. Guilty as charged, I reckon. Sure is gonna look mighty strange when I attempt to get the fedgov agents to give up THEIR toxic pollution habits. And I ain't gonna allow them to show me a card that says they are allowed to breathe and I ain't. I just ain't comin' on that. It will be the day we give up on keeping this country and get down to subdividing it. I talked t people in Indiana and the East coast this morning and to a man they were incensed at what the government was doing. They figure that there will people in the streets with guns before this mess gets cleaned up and I cannot say they are wrong. And people are really pissed off about not being able to contact their elected officials. I read where Evan Bayh, one of our Senators from Indiana, has not been answering his phones at his office in Washington D.C. or at any of his offices in the state, for weeks. They don't want to hear from us unwashed masses it would seem. We don't count in the scheme of things. Well that's alright. They can not answer their phones if they so desire. But they had better stay off my property. I don't like them hanging around. They lie and steal and I don't want them around the kids.
That is about all I want to write about today. If I go on any further it will just turn into a political rant and I have better things to do. Getting ready to survive these bastards is number priority these days. I'll leavc it up to your good judgement to see what will help you the most. Stay alive.

NO WHERE TO RUN
The top line of the Drudgereport read: "There will be no place to run from this new world government." Ahh, at last we get down to brass tacks. The world government is coming and we will not have to chase it down . It will be all around us and we an shoot in any direction and hit it. Very good, you stupid bastards. So the lines are being drawn where we can all see them and everybody will be on the same page. If the wife had not been asleep I would have whooped and danced a jig. Come on, you rabid skunks, come get your just deserves. I reckon it will be time to call the militias and activate the leaderless cells and get ready for the party. I hope to have my little bunch tuned up pretty soon. We ain't many but we can damn sure hit what we aim at. And Obama ain't got enough troops to handle us. We so outnumber the forces of the fedgov it is pathetic. It is estimated that we have NINE BILLION rounds of ammo for private use and we are working on TEN BILLION at this time. That would mean that we can put a thousand rounds down range for every member of a million man army. Man! I like those odds. And if it is 00 Buck then every round is multiplied several times by the number of actual projectiles. Holy Schomely, Joelly. We can attend this party well decked out.
Pete Smith has been on some bummer for the last few days and I hope he gets back in step. He is the voice of survival to many and I wish him well. Big John Lipscomb has really been on a tear these last few days. His rebellion and fighting spirit are at almost maximum strength and that is where we need him. He will be giving the NWO hell from South central Kansas in fine style. And there will be many others around the country who will play a part in this coming war. And it will be war because if you try to take my natural rights as a man you will face the wrath of God. And I am feeling his spirit right now. "Because you can't stomp us out and you can't make us run!" "We're from North California and South Alabam and little towns all around this land. And we can skin a buck, we can run a trout line, and a country boy can survive." Like that computer game of years ago, Duke Nukum said, "Come get some." Come down my road you nasty muthas. You will get shown the exit route of this planet. I gotta quit now. Stay alive.

MOSTLY READING
Greetings to my fellow preppers. I hope you are doing well. I got a few preps in Thursday morning and I am very happy about it. Every little bit helps. My computer has been completely uncooperative these last few days. It it is frustrating for me because I want to blog.
I have been reading a lot these past few days. I read a very interesting article on wood burning stoves. Wood heat stoves are heavily regulated and can get you fined if they are not up to specs. But there are no EPA regulations on cookstoves. You can cook on any damn thing you wish. Your cookstove is called your heath. That is an old English term. The cookstove was the heart of the home. One English King got low on money and decided to tax the hearths in the kingdom. The way it worked out was that the bigger the family the bigger hearth. Makes sense to me. But if you are thinking of installing a wood burner remember about the cookstove being exempt from federal regulations. Of course regulatons can change and do, but for right now your cookstove is exempt. And if you live out in the hardwood forest like I do you can cook fairly cheap. There is some labor involved but you get what you work for in this case.
I wonder about our pets. We keep a couple cats out on the porch. It is really a balcony but they can jump if they wish. The male has done it but the female seems to be satisfied with just the porch. But the male is meowing all the time. And he has water and plenty of food and his litter box is well tended. I can't think of why he would be meowing some damn much. I wonder about the powers of animal detection. When that big Tsunami hit over on southern Asia there were no animals or birds around. They had hit the road and gone inland. They KNEW what was coming. They didn't tell the humans, or at least the humans couldn't understand if they did tell them. But animals have a perception of these kind of events and I watch them and try to see what they are doing and my male cat is meowing all the time. Really makes a nuisance of himself. He gets fed about eight o'clock in the morning and about four o'clock in the afternoon. He likes canned cat food but there is always dry food out for him and the female. They have a den which they use infrequently, at least in his case. He mostly sleeps out on a canvass chair under a blanket my wife uses to cover him. He loves it. So with all the goodies he gets in life I wonder why he is meowing? A mystery. From about one o'clock in the afternoon until about six o'clck at night he meows like crazy.
I just read a novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra called Street Boys. It is about a true story of a couple of hundred kids who lived in Naples, Italy, and fought a German tank division to a stand still. There are a couple of adults written into the story but they are purely the fiction of the author and he says so in his introduction to the novel. Though it is a work of fiction the street kids really did fight those Germans. What a group of guys.
There is something supposed to happen that will be noised abroad in the land that will have the American public asking just what the hell is going on. It is supposed to happen today. So far it has eluded me, but I ain't got TV and I go to bed early. Maybe I will get something on it tomorrow. It would have to be quite shocking to get the general public to notice and take to the phones and the Internet to talk about it. I think Israel attacking Iran is most likely the event but I can't say that with any surety. But Israel wants to do it and they probably will sooner or later.
Gotta go cause my computer is telling me that things are not looking too good for publishing this post. Stay alive.

TROUBLES
Hey! After giving up on reading George Ure after trying to connect with his site for an hour and twenty minutes, the computer decided to give me my post-create site real quick. This machine is devious as hell. I hope Publius can get me another machine. If nothing else it will save my sanity.
I was talking to my friend Charles Bell this morning and he says he is disturbed about the lack of bad news. Nothing really bad seems to be happening and he was wondering why. I said I felt the answer was fairly simple. Number one is that Ben Bernanke has not been confirmed for a second 4 year term at the federal reserve. That is the reason gold is going down and the dollar is going up. The banksters want to make Bernanke look as good as possible to the viewing eye of congress. That way they get to continue their rip-off game. See how simple that is?
The second reason that Charles cannot find much bad news is that business, you know, the guys who pay for advertising, do not want anything coming along that might cause Mr. and Mrs. Consumer to tighten their purse strings while the Xmas buying orgy is underway. Gotta make that money while it is still possible. So Mr. Media gets told to shove the bad news where the Sun don't shine while the buying rush is on. And you thought that the media was providing news fair and balanced. Mr. Media is providing what will make HIM money and what will make his sponsors money. And that is the way it works. That's how we roll.
What is really on my mind this day is what I am not hearing from the fedgov. I am not hearing about any great revelations from the climate conference in Scandinavia. No news is a sign that someone is drilling us behind our backs. I do not trust those people one inch. They are out for our money, what is left of it, and they will tell any lie or distort any fact to get it. You talk about a criminal conspiracy!
I am also dwelling on Martial Law this morning. At the slightest sign of any domestic trouble Obama is going to sign the papers and we are going to be owned by the fedgov. And I have read all the applicable law and they will control everything you own. And that is when things get tough in these parts. Road blocks will be put into place and vehicles will be confiscated if the fedgov boys think they "need" them. The fuel in your tank can be taken if the fedgov needs it. If your wife is bringing home groceries they can be taken also. The crops in your fields and the live stock you have raised can be appropriated by FEMA or whomever. I'm telling you, this Martial Law thing is going to be a mess when it hits. Maybe Berlusconi getting hit in the face the other day was a sign of the future. But if bodies appear and heads roll there ain't much can be done to stop it. Like me, most people do not go out of their way to harm anyone. But by the same token, you had not better go fooling around with my life or the lives of those I love or hold dear. Of course, if you do anything like that it means you are not trying to become public servant of the year and I can guarantee that I will not be trying to become model citizen of the year. I hope the right people can get this message.
I was trying to explain to a young man the other day about how to get around in the time of Martial Law. The first thing I told him was to have a suitable vehicle to go anywhere you might have to go. Four wheel drive don't hurt a damn bit. Good gripping tires are an asset. Detailed county maps are good to have. Take them to Copy Trolley or Kinkos and have them sealed in plastic. Soggy maps are a drag. Don't go driving around without a bug out bag or a good pack. A couple days of rations will be good to have along with some spare clothes and maybe even a pistola with a few extra rounds. You never know when some crazed animal might attack you. But you know what you need and you can figure it out. Water and guns and ammo are things of great importance.
I'm gonna try to post this and see if it makes it. You all take care and be real secure. And for goodness sakes stay alive.

PREDICTIONS
Good morning, folks! My computer has once again given me permission to type a blog post. Mighty kind of the evil bastard to do that. I am waiting to hear from Publius and find out when the computer is going to arrive here. I am holding the freight money in my hot little hand just hoping I can pass it on to some UPS driver at a moments notice. It will break me but I have been broke for worse reasons!
This seems to be the season of the witch so I think I will unload a few predictions of my own.
1. Economic Collapse
This one has me a little confused but what I feel is that we will go through a slow slide and then "BANG" the bottom falls out and we are in the cesspool of reality SHTF. The dollar has risen to almost 77 cents and gold is falling like a stone. And those things are comical in their implications. We all know that the dollar ain't worth the match to set it on fire. I am surprised that it is still accepted as a means of exchange. But number one on the watch list is Ben Bernanke wanting to keep his job as the boss of the federal reserve. The fedgov and the federal reserve will be moving heaven and earth to keep the dollar up there in value. At least until Bernanke gets another four year appointment. And this next time the financial system hits the skids it will collapse. Write that one down. It will not be a little cough in the system but rather a case of full bore TB.
Food Supplies
I look for food to be at a premium starting in about January 2010, maybe not until February. But the big valley out in California ain't gonna produce like it has in the past and we are going to suffer because of it. And from India to the Philippines there is a very poor supply of rice. India is gonna have the worst crop in years and India is a big producer. This country, which is run by idiots, will sell it's crops on the world market for money and to hell with how the populace is doing. If Obama had one drop of masculinity in his body he would set aside millions of bushels of grain and tons of dairy products to keep this country fed. But he ain't got the genes and we won't have the food. Simple as that.
Guns and Ammo
I look for guns and ammo to go along about like they are now until the fedgov gets a wild hair up it's ass and decides to take them from us. Then there will be pockets of resistance appear and they will quickly becomes "areas" of resistance as the beloved rednecks of the country say their NO with great emphasis. It will be a great pity to have people of one nation killing each other but if it is the plan of destiny then we have no choice. And slavery is a bummer. You don't suppose Obama and his legions of people would relish having white folks in slavery as payment for what happened to the black folks earlier in our history do you? But the word will go out that a rebellion is on and it will come to pass. If the food and money is turned off in the cities then there will be blood in the streets. Remember, Goldman-Sachs is buying guns and it ain't for fun.
Gardens and Livestock
The production of meat and vegetables will be the difference between starving and being well off in this country in the future. The people who can raise their food will be blessed beyond the common man. Big John Lipscomb still sells a very good deal on non-hybrid seed. He swears he makes very little on his seed and I think he is telling the truth. The gist of the matter is that you can save the seed from your garden crop and grow more vegetables the next year without having to buy them. Get some non-hybrid seed and stock it up for next Spring. You can raise meat all kinds of ways. You can raise pigeons is cages and rabbits the same way. You can build the cages out of limbs and branches from the woods if you have to. You can raise chickens for meat and eggs. You can raise cattle and sheep for big time meat. There are people raising fish in barrels of run-off rain water. Hogs have great meat but they can be a bitch to keep penned up. They are a lot easier to keep penned up if they have PLENTY of food. And there are other types of meat that is edible and nourishing, if you know how to get it.
Security
Security is the big rub to about all we think to do. How do you make things secure? What or who do you use? The local law enforcement will most likely be out of business pretty quick in a collapse. You had better be ready to protect what you have on your own. You do have a group or a clan don't you? Another way of looking at it is when there is trouble you con't call a cop, you call YOURSELF! Unless there are people with you to help out, YOU are the dude who goes sees what is making the cows bellow or the horses scream and neigh. YOU are the guy who goes sees what the dogs are barking at down by the garden. Is it a Raccoon out on a feeding raid or is it some lazy sonovabitch just stealing what you worked your ass off to grow. Security starts at YOUR doorknob, not at the phone with the numbers 911 on the dial. The collapse means no more money to pay law enforcement wages. Hell, it means no money to pay law enforcement PENSIONS! It means that in the dark of night YOU are the MAN. And it will be this way across the country. Right now New York and California are broke. That makes it pretty much a coast to coast proposition. Florida and Arizona will be going out before too long. Oregon and Michigan will not be too far behind. And there will be others banging on the door to announce their defaults. Kansas just announced the closing of a third of their National Guard Armories. Your world view of security is about to change.
Medical Care
Medical Care is headed out the back door. It is only for the severely rich in our future. All the talk and bickering in Washington D.C. about health care is a joke. When the national wallet is empty and the national credit card is maxed out, your health care is gone. Two of my neighbors are nurses and my son is a Paramedic. I think I can get by. But what is the rest of the country going to do? You gonna try that 911 number again? Hell, the counties won't be able to pay the dispatchers let alone fuel up ambulances and take people to the hospital. You had better get training or get someone who HAS training or your ass is going to be in a sling.
Education
Our reading, writing , and arithmetic are about to come to a screeching halt. When the kids and parents find out how goddamn lame our educational system really is there will be a rebellion on campus like as never seen before. All the utter nonsense being fed to our kids is going to come home to roost. Readily applied skills for which there is a demand are what we need and not a bunch of Sociology degrees. But schools are going to take a huge hit with the economy so that problem may cure itself. Look for a lot of school closings on all levels.
Rebellion
I look for armed rebellion to become pretty normal in this country. Militias will become fashionable again, financed by lots of undercover FBI guys paying their dues. The hard asses will be the leaderless cells that will spring up across the country. Very tough to control these guys and almost impossible to infiltrate. Although it has left the news now, Goldman-Sachs has bought guns for it's people. They are afraid of something. Something that wants to attack them and kill them.
I will close this off for now and let this be a word of caution to the wise. Stay alive.
