Good morning to you all. It is snowing to be skin hell outside and I am thankful to be in where it is warm. I got a lot of comments on my post of yesterday. If you don't see the comments listed at the bottom of the post it is because I cannot put them up with this broke down computer. Just doing the best I can with what I have. A prepper all the way! I tell you, the concept of prepping makes you ready even if you aren't. The brain ball the rests of your neck is your most important prepper item and that is what will see you through. All trials and tribulations are tests. Pass the damn tests! I got some very interesting data over the phone line yesterday. It seems the fedgov is getting ready for some tests. Evidence has revealed that firehouses and police stations are being strengthened in North Carolina, that we know of. Firehouses are being remodeled or as you and I would say, "fortified", to hold 200 US troops in the event of an uprising of any kind. At least we will know where the troops are in case necessary actions should occur. Nothing like a little intel to make life easier. I asked why North Carolina was receiving such attention and I was told it was because of the vast amount of firearms in the state and the vast amount of disgruntled citizens. Apparently the fedgov does not like the way these numbers add up. Too bad, I say. I know for a fact that Delaware has some big new firehouses. I don't like Delaware very much. Too flat. Joe Biden is from Delaware and I would say he keeps the home state pretty well stocked up. Hey. You can have it, Joe. No offense to you guys in Delaware.
It seems you don't go to a bar any more and find a couple guys in the corner talking about their dislike of the fedgov. Now you find a dozen guys talking about it and they make no effort to hide themselves. Good for us, I say. The more the merrier. We have them out manned and out gunned. Nothing quite like having the odds in your favor.
Quite a lot of talk these days about medical proficiency and having it in our midst. A lady named Balleen, I think, has written about it on her page, Preparedness Pro. And this lady is giving top drawer advice. I really enjoy reading her posts. She is quite enlightening. And she has been hot on the trail of reminding people about medical preparedness. Couldn't pick a better time to bring the subject up if I was trying. If you don't have a medical person in your midst then you had better get one. Wounds and cuts and scrapes can become raging infections if not handled properly. Knowing one sickness from another will save a few lives, as in knowing the difference between a bad cold and some kind of flu. So let us try to get our medical needs covered as best we can. There is some good reading out there in the blogs. Catman is cranking out some exceptional posts these days. His blog on piracy today is a good one. He will tell you how to look for certain things. And he will tell you why.
So keep your heads up and your nose into the wind. We need to know what is coming and how to deal with it. Collapse in on the way and we may as well survive it. Stay alive.

SELOUS SCOUT AND SURVIVAL
I quite readily stole this from Selous Scout this morning. I have seen it before but it never had the validity it does now. Or maybe I never had the brains to see what it all was about. Here it is.
*********
Something to Think About
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."
From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage.
Looks like we're somewhere between #6 and #8.
********
I feel very much that this is an accurate analysis of our position these days. Never doubt that the system boys are banking on this to be true. And never doubt for an instant that they don't know about it, cause they damn sure do. I remember when Bill Clinton was having difficulties in the legal area and it looked like his ass was in the quicksand. I read some of the things his lawyer was filing and they looked like they had been filed by any Patriot you might meet on the street. The bastards in Washington know exactly what is going on and where it all stands according to the constitution. They are just boiling the frog and they know all about that too. There are no surprises. What will surprise them will be the reaction of we the people when the SHTF. And the shit is going to hit the fan. Never doubt that. The natural way of things will render the treachery of the powers that be to dust. Printing money out of thin air and loaning it to banks for no interest cannot go on forever. The chickens DO come home to roost.
For there to be any kind of a recovery we have to have jobs. We have to make things for the market place that are necessary. This country does not do that any more. China makes stuff but how necessary it is can be debated. If you can't understand this kind of talk just take my word for the fact that the whole shootin' match is going up in smoke. If you have food it will be because you produced it or you got on the government tit and they let you have enough to stay alive. Eating well will be the privilege of the producers. To say this in simple terms, grow it or grovel. Grow or starve. And a lot of Americans will be on their knees before this all gets ironed out. Either become a producer or sew some extra padding on the knees of your trousers.
Then, of course, we must learn to deal with those who would put us on our knees involuntarily. This is not a big problem to solve. You shoot the bastards. A man has no business on his knees unless he is praying to God. Or digging roots for foods or cures. But we have the perverted folks in Washington who would greatly love to put you on your knees. This must be resisted at all costs. DO NOT EVER LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN ON YOUR KNEES. And that includes those who would steal you into poverty. If they can steal your food supply they can force you to your knees through hunger. I am married to a forager and that is a good thing. Food grows wild and we can eat it if we but know what to eat. Most of the time we have food stored away. If it gets taken we go looking. But we stay off of our knees. You do the same.
Wild game is a tasty and healthy way to eat. Good organic meat. Anything from a songbird to a Whitetail deer. It may be messy and troublesome to exist off of wild game but it sure beats the hell out of going hungry or getting on your knees.
When this system snaps it is going to be ugly. And I mean uglier that you have ever seen. Things will be happening that you never dreamed you would see in America. Stone buildings will be the style of the future. With gun ports at strategic locations. Built over a small spring if you can arrange it. Nothing like having a water source that the scabrous bastards can't get to and poison.
I'll close for now and wish you all a good day. Our day is full of snow. It has been predicted that we will get six inches of the white fluffy stuff today and tomorrow. The kids will like it.
Stay alive.

CATMAN, CELENTE, AND FOOD
7 degrees this morning. Kinda reminds me of old times. Everyone in the house is talking about how the cold has cut down on their smoking, since we don't smoke in the house. There is some good in most everything. If you want a good read this morning go to Catmans Litter Box at http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/. Probably as good a blog as you will read today. I can get things like Catmans Litter Box because it's web address ends in .blogspot.com. Do not ask me why, but it is so.
The wife was running Lew Rockwell this morning and I got to listen to a bit of Gerald Celente and check out his predictions for 2010. His big move was to say that America is gonna get another attack of the magnitude of 9-11. Shucky durn Gerald, who couldn't figure that one out. We now hear of a THIRD guy at the airport where the crotch bomber got on the plane. This third guy went out an exit door and was not seen again. This was on an entrance level. They think they might have spotted him in a large crowd of people leaving the airport. So much for TSA and their people. I hear they get a real red attitude if you run them down. Well, apparently they are lower than whale shit on the bottom of the sea. Get red about that, punks.
I am prepared to fight whoever wants a little piece of me. And a little is all they are going to get. The taxes are coming on. The phone bill just went up for some bullshit reason. They don't come right out and say they want more money but they make it look like it has to be raised for some obscure fund we ain't never heard of. Bastards. Pretty soon we will be out of a phone and thus no internet. But if it has to be then it has to be. The dumbasses in Washington don't know that we already know about starving the beast. If we have to do without phone service then we will just do without. Then the perverts will not be able to snoop on our email and our phone calls. Poor babies.
One of Celente's predictions for 2010 has to do with the stimulus money running out. He says it is a foregone conclusion that it will run out and then what is America going to do? The federal reserve is loaning money at almost no interest as it is. When the stimulus runs out they have to come up with another scheme of some sort. Another plan that will fail. He says the problem is we produce so very little in this country that we have nothing to back our play if we COULD make a move. He mentioned that there were a billion and a half people in 1900 on this planet. Now there are five billion more people. Food is going to become a precious commodity and probably pretty quickly. I am thinking about starting a cannery where I live. 20 acres of beans and a few hogs will make a great big shipment of pork and beans. I'll bet I could make a lot of friends by providing such a product. Now all I have to do is figure out a cheap disposable container that will hold the stuff. It has to work and it has to be readily available. Can't be an engineering marvel from Silicone Valley. It has to be something a redneck from southern Indiana can come up with.
I'll go now. Take care and stay alive. It's cold outside!

FOOLS AND FOOD
Hey! My create blog page finally came up. I am so fortunate. What I am really fortunate about is having a wife who put an extra quilt over me and now I can sleep the sleep of the innocent and not freeze my ass off at night. In case you live off-planet, things have been a bit cold of late here on old Terra Firma in the northern hemisphere. But I fed cattle in the 90's and it seemed that the first two or three weeks of January were always a bitch. I bought ground corn for the extra energy it gave the beasties. They liked it. Had the mill put sorghum in it for good flavoring. Worked like a champ and the cows loved me. Not that it is a major thing to be loved by a cow but we all have to start somewhere. But the media is making a big thing of the cold weather. Perhaps the little darlings want to pay half of my heating bill for this month? You think so? Obama just got back from Hawaii. Must be nice to have vacations on island paradises. How come the president takes so many wonderful vacations? He always comes back to Washington and gets involved in a new series of problems. I think he will shut up about cap and trade for a few months. But he will have other things on the agenda to screw us with. It appears he will be opening a line of employment opportunities for our neglected sexual deviates. They will be running the full scale, full body scanners at the airports. In the interest of national security the observer of the scanner will be in a darkened room with one way glass so that no one can observe the observer. Life is getting better for perverts in this country.
The food thing may get to be serious next month. The weather people say that Florida could take a hit on it's orange crop come Wednesday. Let's see now...vegetables are going to slump in production because of some goddamn little fish that the environmentalists are in love with. See, I told you it was getting good for the perverts in this country. The South side of Asia did not have a good Monsoon season this year and the rice crop looks kinda bad. But I know that down in Stutgart, Arkansas, there will be plenty for this country, right? Stutgart is the home of our rice production in this country. And though Obama plays hell dealing with the hated capitalists of this country, he will agree to large rice purchases by China come hell or high water. And China will pay for the rice with Treasury bills of the highest magnitude. See how that works? Our dollar ain't worth a damn but it will buy food right out of our mouths. So our Oranges may flop, our vegetables may not get grown and our rice may get sold out from under us. What a plan. What leadership. Don't it make you feel like a warm glass of spit? otta go now. The machine is about to toss this out. Stay alive.

FIGHTING AND SUCH
It is sort of a lonely day. Not many people up and about, so far. I have not heard of any rapes or murders so folks must have behaved themselves last night. So nothing to talk about in the way of juicy gossip.
Spent the better part of the afternoon watching Mel Gibson in 'The Patriot". I have noticed that in movies of this type that the guys fighting the battles are always looking for food and ammo. They are always looking to get re-supplied. Kinda makes me glad I am planning on NOT running out of ammo. The buzz words in the battles were aim small , miss small. That means have your rifle sighted in and make the shot with as much precision as you can muster. Like Patton said in the movie, you let that other sonovabitch die for HIS country. And I say never quit. Any time you get the chance to kill one of them, do it. Only if you are restrained because of operational security do you pass up the chance to kill one of the enemy. Tomahawks and Bowie knives have a place in your battle dress. You might have a modern up-to-date rifle or shotgun but to take out an opponent with low or no sound is a good thing sometimes. And at very close quarters it might save your life if you can get it done quickly. It is hard to teach tactics to people who will be fighting guerrilla warfare. The standard "L" formation is your most utilized ambush tactic. You start the ambush with the short leg of the L perpendicular to the direction your enemy is moving. The long leg of the L runs down the side of your enemies directional path. Generally the short leg guys set off the trap and the long leg guys pour it on and wipe the enemy out.
Guerrilla tactics call for treachery and subterfuge. You are allowed to lie and cheat as much as you wish in warfare. Do not pass up an opportunity to do either. If you are good enough to blow a guy's leg or arm off where his buddies can see it up close and personal, have at it. Nothing demoralizes enemy troops like seeing one of their own maimed for the rest of his life. It works on their mind something fierce. And that works to your advantage. You get them mentally screwed up and they will make mistakes and mistakes on your enemy's part means you are that much closer to victory. About 6 or 7 miles from here is a lot of Karst land. Karst is a geographic condition where Limestone is under the surface of the dirt and it dissolves and caves in under the surface and leaves a mostly round indentation in the earth, sometimes a hundred yards in diameter, but mostly less. If you can catch your enemy in a piece of Karst, or what the locals call a sinkhole, you just gather around the rim and pour it on. Ain't time to be using an L shaped ambush at that point.
Learn Boobie trapping. A Boobie trap will produce a casualty and you don't even have to be there. And producing casualties is what it is all about. If your enemy is from someplace a few thousand miles away, he can't take too many loses before he finds himself fighting attrition as well as other troops. Play dirty! Go burn their supply dumps. Turn their food into ashes and their fuel into bonfires. Make life as much of a living hell as you possibly can for them and don't take a bullet yourself. You will reap great benefits from these kind of tactics. Somebody once said that an army marches on it's stomach. If it don't get fed it loses strength rapidly. Shoot holes in all the water tankers you can't steal. Mess their routine up to the max. "No where to run, Baby, no where to hide" Let your enemy face this every day of his hopefully short existence. And don't fight at your homesite! Keep your fighting away from the women and kids. Keep it away from your roof tops where a stray bullet will cause a leak. Got patching material in case this happens? A leaking roof is a goddamn bummer and don't forget that. It can start the rapid deterioration of your home if it is not handled properly. Keep a few gallons of patching material on hand. You might not get to use it right away but it will be nice to have when the time for fixing comes.
As to your own casualties, get them to your sanctuary and patched up as quickly as possible. Make it a sworn duty to never leave a man in the field, even a dead man. Get the body to your private burial ground and get it buried and some words said about the everlasting soul of a man. This gives your people "closure" on a very difficult matter. As frequently as you can do it, get your men home and bunking up with their families as much as possible. You might not be able to accomplish this every night but it will be a blessing when it happens. But no matter what, do not let up on guard duty. Getting shot in your sleep is such disgraceful way to die.
I'll leave you now with a couple of thoughts from my youth. "Back at the ranch, Tonto, not recognizing the Lone Ranger disguised as a pool table, racked his balls." And "Tonto, not recognizing the Lone Ranger disguised as a burning cigarette, stomped his butt."
Stay alive.

THE LAST DAY OF 2009
It is the last day of 2009 and I have a few things I would like to say. The first thing is my prediction that the collapse will essentially come within the first 6 or 7 months of the year 2010. Party hearty tonight and stay out of the jails and the hospitals. It may be the last big time celebration we have for a while. But that is the way we roll, you know. We get it while we can.
I want to say a few things to some people. Ornery Bastard, I read you every day. You have a unique way of communicating. Priceless. Jim Rawles up in Idaho. You are a great source of encouragement to a huge amount of people. I can't go for your Christianity but I can appreciate what you do and I read you every day. Erin and Brad, you are a gold coin I carry in my pocket. Very valuable and not to be spent frivolously. I think of your often. MMPAINTS is another one of my daily reads. A lot of good tips from you, lady. Big John out in Kansas is another guy I check out every day. A natural born hardass that I can relate to. Tough cookie and probably gonna be around for a long time. I damn sure hope so. Natog over at TEOTWAWKIAIFF just needs to write more. I check him every day. And how can I begin my day without a dose of Jim Dakin? Just this morning he hit me with corn not being a vegetable but a grain. Damnit Jim! You had to go make me think some more. Hah! And there are people I get comments from like Publius and the manufacturing rep from Ohio. Serious people. And of course there is Mayberry and the Elder Dragon. Two of my pillars in the survival world. I am also a faithful reader of Frank W. James.
And while I have left out a ton of bloggers I read, there is an army of non-blogging people I stay in contact with in order to keep my head straight. Mike Kemp down in Mississippi is my very close friend. I can remember 10 or 15 years ago when we would call each other and start talking about Clinton and get so mad we would be foaming at the mouth and kicking in the doors. You might say that Clinton pissed us off. Then Dubya came along and we had calmed down a lot. Which was good because we then got the dark lord. The dark lord is enough to piss off God so it is good we are calmed down. Then there is the Hermit down in Tennessee. So good for explanations of economic matters. A good post to lean on. There is Charles Bell whose help and advice are priceless and I am very grateful for. Bubba Bruce is another neighbor about 30 miles away whose friendship I cherish. Best damn gardener and brew master and wine maker in the state.
So I wish you all a successful year in surviving the calamity that is about to fall on the populace of this country and the rest of the world. It is gonna be a mess to the max but the survivalists will have the easiest time, as a group. And I am very sincere when I say that I wish you success. God bless you all. And stay alive.

I want to say a few things to some people. Ornery Bastard, I read you every day. You have a unique way of communicating. Priceless. Jim Rawles up in Idaho. You are a great source of encouragement to a huge amount of people. I can't go for your Christianity but I can appreciate what you do and I read you every day. Erin and Brad, you are a gold coin I carry in my pocket. Very valuable and not to be spent frivolously. I think of your often. MMPAINTS is another one of my daily reads. A lot of good tips from you, lady. Big John out in Kansas is another guy I check out every day. A natural born hardass that I can relate to. Tough cookie and probably gonna be around for a long time. I damn sure hope so. Natog over at TEOTWAWKIAIFF just needs to write more. I check him every day. And how can I begin my day without a dose of Jim Dakin? Just this morning he hit me with corn not being a vegetable but a grain. Damnit Jim! You had to go make me think some more. Hah! And there are people I get comments from like Publius and the manufacturing rep from Ohio. Serious people. And of course there is Mayberry and the Elder Dragon.

BIG JOHN, ET AL
I got my computer talked in to giving me my create blog page again. How cool. I have a 20 pound sledge nearby and it is what I feel is a just reward to the current behavior of this machine. But we go on, doing the best we can and hoping for the best. Sorta like Obama and his attempt to resurrect the previous economy from the depths of it's persistent failure. It ain't gonna work but we do the best we can with what we have to work with. I can feel for Big John Lipscomb and his tendency to strike out at preppers and some class of people he calls "patriots." I can get close to Patriot by saying I am Patriarchal, but that is about the extent of my involvement with the whole system. Being patriotic to America has gotten this country in one helluva bind. And most of that is caused by the double-speak of our media and our government. Those folks would not know the truth if they met in on their front porch.
If the gods are with us we should be bunkered down for about anything below the level of a nuclear attack within six months. And we will get ready for that soon enough. I was reading about President John Kennedy yesterday and saw a picture of his bomb shelter on Peanut Island, off the coast of Florida. He built it with his own dime and was ready for all hell to break loose. Folks have been getting ready for this catastrophe for quite a while now and every dawn means we are a day closer to the bad news. But we will have plenty of food and a major garden in the ground and we should make it, no matter what Obama plans to do. And Obama plans on doing a lot, but it will turn out to be all wrong. His advisers are all a bunch of perverts and sociopaths and they couldn't get things right on their best day. It is not politically correct to say that perverts cannot make good decisions, but I am not politically correct and I will say what I damn well please.
But I hope Big John is doing okay and I hope he can get here when the SHTF. He has done me a favor or two and I will try to do a favor for him. He is in the money game right now and I wish him well. He ain't never had much money and a big pile of it won't hurt him much. Keep on keeping on, Big John! I talked to Ernie at Indiana Preppers Network and she is doing well and is keeping in touch with a lot of folks. She is a good investigator and probably will not be caught unawares. Her husband, Brad, is pretty solid and will take care of business.
My wife and brother-in-law had a wreck Monday and now I am surrounded by groaning, sore, people. But they are okay. My wife and I lost our last remaining vehicle and we are stay at home folks. Between the car and this computer I am about to become a Luddite. Technology and I are not getting along too well these days. Cars and computers are not doing it for us at all. Gotta go. Take care of yourselves and try to stay alive!
