The cancel culture is scary business. Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden resigns over emails. Dancing With the Stars host Tom Bergeron is forced out because he didn’t like former Trump spokesman Sean Spicer (above) being put on the show.

The Thought Police are on patrol. Who is pure enough to withstand such intense scrutiny? Individualism sacrificed on the alter of group think. Thought crimes can take anybody down, but its usually those who have offended the Left.

Two of the biggest exceptions were Bergeron and Ellen Degeneres. Usually it happens like it did to Trent Lott when he was forced to resign from the Senate over platitudes he made at a birthday party for the 100 year old Strom Thurmond! Its hard to verbalize my concerns, but as a non-conformist, I just know its terrifying.

Its all part of what I call ‘reverse imperialism’. Like our recently celebrated Columbus Day. Who has recently been dethroned because he interrupted the indigenous people from eating each other in this fairy tale hemisphere. Talk about the true history revisionists.

I read just today when he arrived here the indians gave him slaves, who when he got back to Spain he promptly freed. And that Columbus Day was started to help ease the discrimination against Italian Americans! Yeah, there was a period where they were pretty low on the totem pole.

But what I mean about the reverse imperialism is how we were said to have exploited others by bringing civilization to savages, now they are absolutely flooding western countries and turning them into shitholes. They are bringing us down while building nothing.

Karma? Revenge? It looks like they are going to win in the end. Homosexuals, transvestites, now they’re taking out big tough football types. There’s irony in there somewhere I’m telling you!

When 30 years before the football players made the queer’s life hell in high school, now its their turn. Reminds me of the 80’s movie Revenge of the Nerds. Or back in the day when the perennial doormat Northwestern football team was getting wiped out on any given Saturday, the chant would rise up from the stands, “That’s alright, that’s okay, we’re going to be your boss someday!”

Lookup “unrest in Australia” on YouTube and you’ll get quite a list of videos. The government there seems to be at the forefront of the new COVID totalitarianism. Like Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan or Newsom in California. They want to take it out on the people of their states and countries way more than they do Fauci and the Chinese who invented it.

How convenient I thought that a tyrannical regime should take over in Australia just a few years after they turned in their guns. It caused me to look up when and why that was.

Martin Bryant was the perpetrator of the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre. He was a known nutcase (he was on a government pension for his disability), yet he was allowed to stockpile weapons in contravention of their own laws. He was able to stockpile weapons because he had knocked off the lottery heiress who had made him the sole inheritor of her will.

Its a classic case once again where the government falls down on the job, doesn’t enforce their own laws, then at the time of tragedy caused by their own malfeasance, acts like its the law abiding gun owners fault!

The guy was a nut. It says right on the gun purchase forms, “Are you under the care of a mental health professional?” Yes, he was*. They don’t enforce that here either. Nor the one about substance abuse. People with DWI’s are screaming, “I’m not eligible!” Yet they routinely handout purchase and carry authorizations to people with drunk driving convictions.

And they do that, for exactly that reason. For the crisis it creates, and their opportunity to act. January 6.

[*for the reasons just stated, law enforcement on a background check refuses to look at anything beyond criminal violations. They will not incorporate mental health records, which they are fully authorized to do by statute. So of course you end up with a “nut with a gun.”]

So much of prepping is on what you might call being high up on a sliding scale. Say for instance if normal times were a 5, the disaster we prep for is a 3 or 4, when we would still have electricity, gas and water. The whole scenario changes dramatically if you lose a utility or two. Then say you might have prepped a boatload of food, but you no longer have a way to cook it.

Or the key commodity, water. Say you have a Berkey Water Filter, but what if water isn’t even flowing through the pipes? Maybe you even prepped for a generator and paid an electrician to wire it to your house, how do you keep that generator from looters? When you can hear that generator late at night from a block away?

Speaking of looters, there are those who don’t prep and say they will just take from those who have. Maybe you are armed and trained, but will there be anyone to guard your stash during those times you have to leave? Have you thought about an assistance network? Maybe your neighbors are top of the line, what about when they get hungry? Real Hungry?

Not to mention, if you think the crush at the border is bad now, what about when things really go south? All of the south will be coming north then. And the last thing the authorities are going to want is people defending themselves. Being independent. Not needing them. It was pointed out on the radio just yesterday that the Fed’s want local police and governments to fail, they want all of it to be nationalized.

Me? I can see surviving a Level 3 or 4 collapse. Being a dainty prepper. But a 1 or 2? A complete collapse of society? Nah I don’t see surviving that. You’d have to have really good, smart and prepared neighbors. The lone wolf would get picked off pretty quick. That’s probably the key right there, not working so much on the store of goods, but on a store of goodwill. A network, an association.

And in typical fashion I didn’t lay out the basis for this focus on prepping. A lot of smart people see something coming. That means 1 of 2 things. All the “experts” were wrong, or you had to be blind not to see it coming. Those smart people are looking at the big financial picture, the social unrest, how the COVID is being used to usher in the Big Reset.

March 15, 2020 is when the Great Toilet Paper Apocalypse hit the last time. During the next 2 weeks I watched store shelves empty out. Quick. My Walmart was bare. There was panic buying then, over nothing. Can you imagine in the face of a real disaster? Aside from the issues I mentioned in the previous paragraph, China is making noise threatening Taiwan. The nut in North Korea is always there.

With Biden throwing all pretense of having a border out the window, how many battle hardened Islamic terrorists have we let in the country the past year? Police can’t handle a single lone shooter, what if there were a hundred semi organized team of shooters? A thousand? What that would do also (and serve their purpose), is lead to gun confiscation.

People prep for the calamity they’re comfortable with, not the worst case. It would be good to go into it with some skills. A nurse, a plumber, an engineer. We as a people are grossly ill-equipped for a wide scale disaster. We’re soft, “Where can I charge my phone??” America of the 30’s and 40’s still had roots in the victory garden and killing and preparing game.

Going back to March 15 of last year (and the panic in the grocery aisles over nothing), how long did it take to come out of that? Frankly it was a year. Nobody went hungry, but supply wasn’t like it normally was. I know what my skills are, what are yours? Dr David Jeremiah was just on the radio yesterday making a good case that we are in the early days of the tribulation.

China is the big variable in all this. What if the weakness of the Biden administration is just too much temptation for them, and they go for Taiwan? We resist and they nuke DC? They make practically every thing we use. What if that’s cutoff? A year? Maybe two? If they take out Washington, its really up in the air then. Chinese troops on main street.

“This problem can not be fixed by 24/7 work days or thousands of new workers because it is caused by a new California emissions control law for 18 wheelers that just recently went into effect. All trucks older than 3 years do not met the new standards, so simply there is not enough trucks and there will not be enough trucks in the foreseeable future. What’s odd about this how the media and government are doing all they can to keep the truth from coming out.”

The Chinese infect the world with a virus, and now my Walmart can’t be open 24 hrs? Fauci funds a lab to figure out how to get an animal virus to transmit to humans, and now my McDonald’s isn’t open 24 hrs? The world locks down for a virus that only has a 99.7% survival rate, so that means I can’t have a 24 hr Hy-Vee Grocery Store anymore?

Where the hell’s the logic in that? “Our Team Members need this extra time to do an extended and thorough cleaning to make our store as safe as possible!” Do they really not “get” that they could have the keypad at the checkout, or the handle on the freezer case, operating room clean before opening, but as soon as the first customer comes in and touches it, poof! All your hard work overnight is now gone.

Its not about how clean something was at 3 am, what is it at noon now that you’ve been open 4 hours? Or at 3 pm? Or now at 7:30 in the evening right before close? What the hell did all your fantastic cleaning at 3 am do for how sanitary it is 16 1/2 hours later? And why can’t I get a breakfast burrito at 5 am? Who eats breakfast at 8 am?

Its over! Damn, how stupid are people? (not referring to Victor) Senator Grassley announces last week he’s running again in 2022. Iowans are stupid enough they’ll send him back to Washington. Grassley exemplifies everything that’s wrong with America. Someone with no discernible talent being one of 100 of the most important people governing America.

Its not just him of course its everybody in that cesspool of corruption. But that’s not even the problem. Its the voters! They’re the ones that keep sending these criminals back! How do you get that stupid? The United States of America is not supposed to be an Empire. We’re not supposed to take in all the world’s derelicts. We’re not supposed to give taxpayer dollars to the crooks in Buttfucksia under the guise of foreign aid.

We’re not supposed to be ‘nation building’. The sole mission of our government as given was to secure the rights of Life, Liberty and Property for its citizens.
