KISS WHAT?

Wanna kiss a pig? This guy will do it! Don't show this to the World Health Organization or they will go nuts and try to arrest the kid.

Things are not looking so good on the Swine Flu front this morning. Mexico has cancelled out all but 7 of their so called swine flu deaths. You can read George Ure at Urban Survival . com and get an idea where I got the idea that September is going to be the rough flu month.

Today is the last day of April and garden time is right next to us. A lot of of people like to get it in the ground early but I still like to wait until the frost date. Folks that like to avoid the rush and get it in early are just setting themselves up for a hard fall when the tide goes against them. Our frost date is May 10. I have seen frost after the 10th one time in 38 years. Aside from the obvious danger of frost damage, there is also something to be said for waiting until the soil temperature is high enough to get the job done. Things pop up really well if you wait for the soil temperature to rise. Makes those tomatoes and roastin' ears and beans grow something fierce. It will be a good thing for the local folks if we can get about a ton of food to store for the Winter and Spring. Might save a bunch or two from starving.

There is a forecast spreading abroad that says the financial news is going to look better for a while. Just do not be taken in by false signs and poor conclusions. The Summer of Hell is still coming. The economics of the planet are still in the commode and swirling toward their doom. Your detractors will be giving you the raspberries as things get better, and we are not talking fruit here but obnoxious sounds. Use Wisdom and guile to handle your enemies. Encourage them to invest in stocks. Don't talk up investing in gold. Say things like "I never even once imagined that stocks were going back up." With any look you will have the turkeys losing their butts come this Fall. Wonderful. Life in our society has become an exercise in aggression and the infliction of trauma. Set your enemies up for a dose of some real good revenge. Win one for the survivalists.

Hang in there.

MOSTLY HOT AIR

I cannot make up my mind about the flu situation in this country and the world. I mean, I can make up my mind because the whole thing seems to be a crock of shit. We had one 22 or 23 month old kid brought over the border at Brownstown, Texas, from Mexico. The child was transferred from Brownstown to Houston for better care but they could not save the child. This is a sad state of affairs but it happens several thousand times a year in this country. I can feel sorrow for the family of the young child and I hope their sadness is short and that they have more children to help them get over this. But it is not earth shaking news for a child to die of influenza. It happens.

The media coverage is a sad thing. There are so many conflicting stories it is angering. I see web pages with stories that say there is very little death from this flu and web pages that say there are many deaths. We have had one death from the flu in this country and it was an import. It is like a crazy world cartoon. The media announces some statistic, whether it be true or false, and then the country goes wild. I got up Monday morning and read all the horror stories and doused myself with homemade Sambucol thinking I had better err on the side of safety rather than on the side of neglect. This morning the wife gave me a drop, one lousy little drop, of Oil of Oregano in about 6 ounces of water. I'm a tough guy and I got it down. I was also an ignorant guy and don't know if I can do that again. That stuff is vile to the max. But at least I can say I have had the experience. The next time it comes around I will kindly point to your ass and holler out your name! I don't want to have too much of a good thing.

But I think I was wasting my time. You can read the news and just about come up with any viewpoint you care to follow. I reckon the idiots have at least given us the drive to have an emergency flu drill and maybe we needed it. We should have an idea as to just where our weak spots are now. My advice is do your handwashing drill many times a day for a few days and keep an eye on the news. Some folks that wash their hands a lot say to rub a dab of Olive Oil on them and you won't get cracked skin on your hands.

I do not know what this is all about. You know the old game of one Pea and three Walnut shells and you have to guess what shell the Pea is under. That is sorta like how life is going in the news of late. So many stories of so many things. Just hammering away at our limited attention spans. So what is going on that we are not noticing? These jerks know to use a catastrophe to mask their shady deals so what is going on that we should be seeing? I reckon a lot of folks are not too trusting of our government these days. I don't know whether or not I told you earlier this week but the citizens of our fair country bought three and a half MILLION weapons during the last 3 months of 2008. And we bought ONE AND A HALF BILLION ROUNDS OF AMMO TO GO WITH IT. Fantastic! I never felt so good about my fellow country men before. Well done, Brethren! Well done indeed! If the fedgov is fixing to do something really nasty to us we can turn it around and throw them a good party, a Ballistic Party.

Stand your ground. Be ready. It's coming.

FLU III

Whew, what a day. I have combed the hills and dales of the internet looking for more on the new Engineered Flu we are getting from Mexico at this time. Oh, you can also call it Genetically Modified Flu also. It looks like we have been hit with a real humdinger this time. But I have been reading the preppers and that makes me pretty much on top of it. One of the things I have found is that we are experiencing the first wave of this disease. It will most likely not even cause us to lose any sleep, let alone anything else. The second wave should hit in September and that will be the one that fills up the cemeteries. Ugly stuff.

Fight like hell to keep from getting flu. Stay home. Build up your immune system. Battle the damn stuff constantly and consistently. Get out there and buy the germ masks, the N-100 or what ever they call them. Buy your Oil of Oregano and your other herbs that make your immune system kick ass. Load up on Vitamin C and A and D and whatever you like. You can be like the crazy Boone household and start sucking up that good Tincture of Elderberry. You call it Sambucol out in the world. Get every kind of superfood and supernutrient you can find and afford. Get all the over-the-counter helpers you can lay your hands on. Buy unscented bleach and hand sanitizer and all kinds of nasty stuff to clean you door knobs and what not. This is a war, not a drill.

And then you wait. September will come soon enough, I reckon. If the wave theorists are correct you should see dead bodies come September. Be sure and have a lot of paper products for cleaning and blowing your nose and wiping your butt. We can lean on the Boy Scout Motto and be prepared. Stay alive.

MORE FLU

The swine flu is with us and it don't seem too bad. We have 20 cases of it nationally. I hope it goes no higher. So far the only deaths from this new brand of flu have been in Mexico. The health officials tell us that our swine flu and Mexico's swine flu are identical. My last check of the news said 5 states have swine flu; Cali, Texas, Kansas, Ohio, and New York. Canada and Spain also have reported a small number of cases. Here at my place we are taking our homemade Sambucol. It is supposed to have a negative effect on your cytokine production, as in "makes too much", but I don't know what else to do. We have hospital grade face masks. They are hot in temperature but they might help in a pinch.

The Cytokine thing is a bit of a mystery to me. As fare as I can tell they are a marker for some activity that your immune system has engaged in.

We will be home the next few days. Why not? We are prepped and settled. You do this prepping for a reason. It is so you can outlast and conquer anything that comes upon you. It would be a shame to have all of the prepping done and still go out and get the swine flu. The stuff is going to be called the Mexican Flu so get used to it.

Other than what I have stated, you may as well continue prepping, unless you don't want to go out. Do whatever you think you need to do. It is your life and your health. My thought is that you treat them with respect.

Stay alive.

PIG FLU?

It is 4 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon here in Indiana and I am taking a break from studying about swine flu. My study and my consultations are showing zero danger from this flu at this time. For some reason it will not kill Americans. I see headlines that represent themselves as having stories about WHO, the United Nations World Health Organization, that are supposed to say that WHO has called this a pandemic and all that stuff and it has turned out to be false. It is always an article about Janet Napolitano. I have talked to a Chemist, a Nurse, and an Engineer and they say we are getting bullshit from the media and the fedgov. The only way "I" can see this thing hurting us is if it blows out our immune systems and some Turkey can take us out because our bodies can't fight it off. You can either kiss it off or you can follow the very good advice at www.survivalblog.com. Either way I think you will do just fine.

LIARS

In further writing on the lies we are told by our media and our politicians, I want to draw your attention to Glenn Greenwald's piece on Lew Rockwell today. It's a story about recent Pulitzer Prize winner David Barstow. Barstow got the Pulitzer Prize and no one will even talk about it in the media. It is an investigative article on how the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox, hired retired generals to "analyze" the news for the viewing public but were really shills for the Pentagon and it's war aspirations. There was also lots of shilling going on for different companies the generals were invested in that made things for the war. And no one in corporate media will even mention Barstow's name! All those fat cat generals were nothing but a bunch of liars working for the "Lie Machine" out of D.C.

Now, as I read the up-beat financial news, I wonder how many of those economists are really paid advertisers? Cause the neat stuff is only happening in the news!

LIARS!

SOMEBODY IS LYING

I am thinking this morning about the strange variation between what our business and banking and governmental leaders are saying and what the man in the street reports as happening. There is a wide variation, to be sure.

Obama says we will get out of the torture business. But no one can prove that it is ended. Guantanamo is still open for business. There is a degree of anger in the people of this country about the fedgov people who did the dirty deeds not being punished or at least brought to trial. So we have this conflict between the people who broke the law and the people who are against the breaking of the law. And politicians are lying their asses off at the thought that they might get stuck with having backed the torture. Obama was going to sweep the whole thing under the rug but found out that it was not going to go down with the public. It has been reported that the guy from al Qaeda who was supposedly their main planner was water boarded 180-some times in one month. Of course he has confessed to everything including the assassination of Lincoln but the truthfulness of his confession is doubtful. Considering the torture he has gone though it is possible he should be released for "time served" and the whole thing forgotten about. Torture is a very bad thing. It has been shown that the person being tortures will try and say what his torturers want him to say. What is pissing a lot of people off is the fact that the USA is signatory to treaties that outlaw torture. We have laws on the books that make it illegal. But our leadership is not prosecuting or investigating the events in question. I think it is because any investigation will expose illegal conduct by some very high up people. All the way up to George W. Bush. I have noticed that Rumsfeld is keeping a low profile these days. Lots of people would like to see his ass swing from a rope. Just like he did for Saddam. But I reckon the important thing to remember is that the public, the people who get stuck with the bills and the blame, want one thing and their government is not paying a bit of attention to them. It's like that evening when congress voted on the first bail-out bill and the calls were pouring into the District of Criminals at the rate of 99% or more AGAINST the bail-out. The bastards went right ahead and voted for the bail-out. It was unbelievable.

The state of the nations economy is another paradox in our national dialogue. I talk to people and email with people and what they say is going on is in no way what I read in the media and hear from the fedgov's mouth. The stories are different like night and day. We now have towns and cities getting to go bankrupt. In California the only way the municipalities can escape their outrageous retirement plans is to declare themselves bankrupt and then they can reduce their obligations. I read where one town is obligated to pay guys retiring at 50 a sum of $135,000 per year for the rest of their lives. It would seem like they could reduce that by about $100,000 a year and be more sane, more logical. And they will do it. They have to do it. It is going to happen. Or else people will be getting a balloon in the mail every month full of hot air, and nothing else to live on. What needs to happen will happen. There is not enough money to keep the damn thing afloat otherwise.

But getting back to the discrepancy in the stories being told, The media and the fedgov are now trying to tell us that things look like they might be turning around. And I suppose we will be hearing about the turnaround for the next few years. Most people I know are hurting like hell form this economy. Businesses are closing up shop on a regular basis. Why in hell is this going on? Have we become so fucking weak that we can be told anything the PTB want to say and we will believe it? I say prepare like you have never prepared before. Our government has gone insane and is being led down the road to destruction. No government that is so adamantly and habitually lying can last long anymore. We have taught the world to war on a horrific scale and we shall reap the reward for that. Time may be running short. Look out for a military draft and an increase in taxation. Like I said, time may be running short.
