IF I hadn't been reading you for quite some time, and IF I didn't have anyone I knew who would back up your integrity, I wouldn't be agreeing as strongly as I am today.

Too often on the internet we read similar articles only to discover that is it an advertisement. This time you hit the problem dead on. We see and hear every single day about the burning of distribution plants, the murdering of millions of animals, the poisoning of water supplies and rising costs of fuel.

Biden's administration states often that this is the way it's going to be. Get used to rolling black-outs. Stop driving as much, drive electric. Even the crash of coal trains dumping out the backup necessary fuel.

It is evil and we know it. Until we prepare ourselves and can fight with something more useful than a computer, we must be ready.

I recently read interviews of former slaves in Oklahoma-a great read. It was not by chance that nearly every slave commented on life after the Civil War and how whites were not as able as former slaves to survive. The south was decimated, many citizens were homeless. The slaves also homeless, knew how to live off the land. They knew how to eat, cook, sleep, wash and find work as if nothing had changed. But those who thought they would live high and have others do their physical work for them did not fare as well. That is testimony of fact here in the United States.

This is war right now. And we have very few in power who are willing to help citizens. Even if they are willing, there aren't enough of them to create change. We watch these elections and see some we thought were on our side, jump to the other side right after their primary. We can trust very few. In that case -- trust yourself and take care of yourself and your family. No need for fancy clothing, great makeup, the best lawnmower--there is a need to learn how to survive. Do it for fun. Do it because our brains need to learn to stay vital. But critically, do it because you know it is necessary. Yes, I will help those who come to my door to an extent. I will help them learn how to do it themselves. FYI, the best book I just read is in BIG LETTERS, lots of spaces and easy to read -- THE ESCAPE BAG BLUEPRINT. It's not so much about food, it's about what you need to pack in one backpack. I recommend it.

Spot on, and thank you for recognizing it's not an ad. I often struggle between getting the word out and remembering I need to take care of my family at the same time. It wasn't too long ago I posted a story about the possibility of economic collapse. It was a long, convincing story loaded with facts and a recommendation to buy precious metals, among other things. Our precious metals sponsor read the article and called me asking why I didn't even mention them or link to them in the article.

I facepalmed. He was right. It was a perfect opportunity to help them (and my family) but I was so caught up in ringing the alarm bell I forgot to mention where people could go to buy the precious metals I was recommending.

I used to mint pure silver & gold coins for top corps - my source was X-rays - way before digital. Side story, stayed w friend in LA and was robbed of a few things except huge rolled pure silver sitting out on the floor. Precious metals don’t look like much before shining them up. - And that was a great one time experience for you- you’ll never make same mistake.

I think it's a case of the boy who cried wolf once too often, or chicken little and the sky is falling. The masses have been lulled into a false sense of security no matter what, "Everything'll be fine --it always has been." But the culmination of all the planned destruction was always going to be this way. It will happen suddenly and go downhill quickly. We're told all the people in Noah's town laughed at him- until the rain started. Then they were so sorry for doubting, for scoffing, for disbelieving, and at that moment, they realized they needed a boat of their own, or a place on the ark. The pandemonium, the screaming. the begging, the death - it's painful to imagine such a scene. Yet that's going to become crashing reality, minus the water, sooner than later.

Even those who are prepared need to be planning how it will be, real discussions about suffering through decisions of life and death when people are begging for food and water or shelter. And if and when to take protective measures against those who will steal or kill to take what you have. We will be entering entirely new. untested territory.

Rough seas ahead for everyone. Pray without ceasing. Believe John 14:6.

Great work JD. The writing is on the wall. These madmen are actually going for it.

I've known of this diabolical scheme for a long time, but to see these b@astards actually implement it is something else.

I'll just say one thing about preppers in America. The US has tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, mudslides, etc. I have never understood why people in America WOULDN'T be preppers. It's just common sense.

I’m just going to say it. People overall are far too stupid to see what is happening, to put two and two together. High gas/diesel prices have nothing to do with production or scarcity, and even if they did, gas prices rose on their own far before any war or other catastrophe. People will never see the level of manipulation that we are seeing now.

What would happen IF the oil-producing states 'thumbed their noses' at FJB and did was was needed to put an end to this treason?

I really wish I could refute this information. But when you see fuel prices tic up on a near daily basis... When you see food production plants shut down (baby formula) or burned to the ground... When you see thousands of cows die in Kansas for no apparent reason... When farmers in PA can't get crops in the ground due to high diesel costs... It's impossible to refute. I have to concur with JD--we are in for some troubling times. As I have noted before, I'm glad I'm old. I have had a great life with wonderful friends scattered all over the world. But I worry about my grand kids and what they will be facing in the years to come. Prepping with dried foods and long term storage, if done well, could get you through months. But who among us has the storage to get us through years of deprivation?

Most of us don't have the skill, the land, or the equipment to farm, and certainly not to the extent needed to healthily feed a family for more than a week. That idea is simply unrealistic.

That's what I've been saying too....It's unrealistic.

Perhaps farming is unrealistic but bartering isn’t. Bullets for food, a skill in demand?
