clans 1 of 3

CLANS 1 of 3
*
First, a word from our sponsors-
You lucky bastards. Malthusian Survivalist Newsletter #2, September issue, is now available. Run and stumble, do not walk, to buy it at:
Malthusian Survivalist Newsletter #2

Sometimes I hate people a lot more than other times. Right now I’m looking at the book “The Rule Of The Clan” by Mark S Weiner and I’m pretty friggin worked up with a powerful righteous anger. If terrorists with sunlamp skin and vaguely blue eyes with an underlying Connecticut accent behind their throat clearing sounding Arabic ( as in, CIA dudes ) were to kidnap you and put a shotgun barrel to your head and a flare gun up your rectum and threaten to BBQ your colon if you do not order the aforementioned book, I would strongly advise you to NOT give in to their demands. This thing is an atrocious piece of vile crap. Here I was, all excited to be getting a highly recommended book on clans, by an author I thankfully do not remember because I would then hate him too, and it was nothing more than two hundred pages of not very thinly disguised ass kissing of big government. Oh, life in a clan was brutish and short and bitches get stoned and boyo’s do nothing but fight each other but since kings came along everybody’s individual rights have been impeccably observed and we are so much better off. Barf! I don’t know what I expected of some lawyer twat author, but evidently I expected way too much like a friggin book on how clans were organized and how they operated. Every time the subject veered that way, Markie The Monkey Molester just pushed his pro-central government agenda. I don’t think I got half way through this turd.

I suppose some of this is my fault, as the author never claimed to be an anthropologist. I got so excited I ordered the book without better diligence. Still, even going by the authors profession and schooling, I would have expected a far more balanced rendering of the subject. Which it definitively is NOT. One can only be imagining our author masturbating to pictures of Stalin and Obammy. There is no pretense of understanding his subject, just an unrelenting pounding of any and all examples of their organization for being group based rather than individual based, and absolutely no acknowledgment of governments abuse of the individual while pretending to champion their rights. I suppose Master Weiner spent so much time with his head buried in law books he didn’t bother to read a lot of history, a subject he obviously stopped learning with a public school approved course of propaganda erroneously labeled “history”. A strong central state is not the only or best way to govern groups, and it would have been nice to get both the pros and cons from a professed professional. Instead we get some bloviating bitch paid by the taxpayers to convince them the screw job they are receiving is a good idea. Hump this bastard. Do NOT learn about clans from him ( a subject of some import, as this is the likely direction of governance we shall see after the collapse. A system we already have in many areas of our society, which I cover next article ).

potemkin village fund

POTEMKIN VILLAGE FUND

Recently our fair state ( populated by a million and a half Yuppie Scum who found Las Angeles too wet to their liking and so moved to Las Vegas, four hundred thousand Yuppie Scum who found California too wet and so moved to Reno and Carson City, and the other hundred thousand scattered hither and yon in between those three cities trying to mind their own damned business wishing all the bastards from California would take their registered voter cards belonging to the Tax More, Spend More, It’s For The Children Party and go the hump back home where they can fall into the San Andres fault and down into Hell from where they came ) did two things simultaneously which is pretty indicative of Walking Cheerios ( head up ass, an O with legs, Walking Cheerios ) everywhere. The governor, a slimy douche bag probably wishing to take the place of Harry Reid as the global supreme leader of monkey molesters and chicken chockers, evil incarnate leader of the Nancy Pelosi Pack Of Pedophiles, raised the taxes on a pack of cigarettes AND at the same time was pushing Civil Improvement Funds on all the communities willing to match the funds. This is nothing more than a Potemkin Village Fund, money to prop up the construction industry ( as if they can go back to leading the state economically as they did prior to the housing bubble popping ) by “rejuvenating deteriorating downtown areas”.

I bring this up not only because I feel personally violated rectally by another tax, as if we don’t pay enough in sales and property, but because this is just one shiny example of idiots everywhere in charge blindly responding to problems beyond their comprehension ( the more years of college they have under their belt, the more divorced from reality they are, besides the problem of being raised with a silver spoon in their mouth ). Now, I’m not actually blind to the fact that our scumbag of a politician is not free to make his own mistakes. He is under the thumb of the moneyed interests just as much as King Kenya is. Which is even scarier. If a politician is greedy or stupid, you can elect another one. If the 1%er ass- swipes in charge of rigging elections are even more greedy and more retarded that the worst politician, you have systematic rot that can only be eradicated by revolution or collapse. Think back at your place of employment, as the suits in the head office are busily spending extra money on crap to shiny up the reputation or physical assets of the company on Monday, then Tuesday through Friday panicking mightily about the lack of revenue and laying off people and doubling the workload of the remainder. That is our entire system, private and public. And it can’t be reformed for the abovementioned reason. Again, if you are dependent on these rectal rangers for your livelihood ( and who of us isn’t? ), count on being screwed. And fool wanting to slap on a fresh layer of plaster and paint at “$800 toilet seat” mark-up prices while at the same time whining about revenue going down, besides suffering mightily from a female fixation on form over function, is moronic beyond belief ( from the point of view of Growth Paradigm, infinite growth, it makes sense. But that way of thinking was only as relevant as the petroleum supply ) and will ruin your day real soon.

econ collapse prep 4 of 4

ECON COLLAPSE PREPS 4 of 4

I could probably go on and on with this series, but times a wasting and while I’m easily amused I’m also quickly bored. Let’s talk about shelter, a few odds and ends, the complete budget break down and then I’ll let you free and we’ll cover some other topic tomorrow. There are a multitude of shelter options, none of which have to be expensive. A few feet down in the earth, with long branches bent over into a dome, covered in plastic, some dirt and then boughs, and you have shelter for a few bucks. I don’t like tents all that much, as for half the price you can have a ferrocement structure. If you visit:

www.strombergschickens.com

You will find “starplates” which are bolt on connectors to take twenty-five sticks of wood and connect them into a dome. The connectors are $80, the lumber about $70, and all you need after that, besides the bolts, is some chicken wire and cement ( with cardboard underneath to hold the cement in place until cured ). In contrast, a small cabin size tent is $800 ( the canvas stuff, not the crap tent vinyl ). That isn’t necessarily the best shelter for your climate but it does allow you to buy and hold the building material cheaply and compactly. If you use eight foot lengths of lumber your structure is twelve foot diameter, with that allowing a loft for sleeping with some extra lumber so it won’t be all that cramped.

Okay, so what we have here is $100 to secure a small loan on a lot of land. $300 for a decent rifle or pistol. Call it $100 for ammo, although you can spend far less or far more. $300 for a decent cabin ( you need not spend anything for a stove if you make a rocket stove out of scrap metal and mud [ mix plant fiber in the mud for longevity ] ). $200 for a lot of bucketed wheat and a Corona grain mill. With the other hundred or two hundred you can buy all those nifty extras like some wool blankets, a Kukri knife, some decent LED flashlights, a $20 solar battery re-charger with batteries and other odds and ends. This is by no means much above primitive, and it is just the start of your bare bones survival supplies ( you can always add more, and you will, somehow never coming to the end of your Must Have List, but this is the core you can build around ). But it sure will bring a much nicer peace of mind than a backpack full of MRE’s and a Rambo knife with fishhooks inside. It is all well and good to be stupidly confident with “my ability to hunt and fish forever”, but that is not calories in the bank. Food storage is. Protein procurement tools are an add-on you can slowly learn how to be proficient with, but only after you have food stores to keep your energy up with as you learn. And, yes, I understand you could add a lot here. But this is going to cover the basics for an affordable sum. It is better than cash under the mattress or a gold coin sitting there NOT feeding or sheltering you ( I’m also not blind to the problems of bugging out as some distance will separate you from the junk land and your job in the city. Remember, this is a plan for an economic collapse. If you do pull the cord early enough you relatively peacefully transport yourself there. If you are worried about an instant fall into a cesspit of anarchy, you don’t belong living in the city but rather need to be escaped already ).

econ collapse prep 3 of 4

ECON COLLAPSE PREPS 3 of 4

Remember, we are talking about economic collapse here, not civilization collapse. And it is done from home, not your fantasy retreat the wife won’t move to anyway. Buying the land was THE major criteria, as the fastest way to screw the pooch during a job lose is to not have a place to live. You should be able to talk the old lady into just the $100 down, $100 a month payment part, sold as a combination vacation spot, unemployment insurance and retirement cabin location. The food part is easier, with government assistance. But just in case Obammy The Kenyan Klown screws you on that one, have the minimum food stash just in case. I know you want freeze dried or a duplicate of your current diet, but most likely you are on a tight leash financially and must settle for those buckets of wheat. Even less than a years worth is something, but don’t buy the kernels without the Corona corn mill ( look up and to the right on this web page to see the Amazon graphic ad for it ). And don’t worry about how to cook with it. It ain’t rocket science requiring machines or special gear. Any Joe Blow can do pancakes, and it isn’t too much more difficult to do a dry pancake turning that into a tortilla ( oil added ) or flat bread ( no oil, but usually with butter on top ).

I’m assuming that with a stash of wheat as back-up, you won’t panic and be stupid and join the mob at a Wal-Mart or Krogers or go voluntarily go into a FEMA camp to get fed. It will give you time to look for or scrounge other supplemental food. Now, as far as a weapon, I’d normally only recommend a rifle. For the frugal survivalist able to only afford one gun, far better to have the option to reach out and touch someone far away from concealment. A pistol should be a back-up only. However, if you are that concerned about an econ collapse that you are focusing on that rather than a worse case prepper plan, I’m assuming you are staying in the city until you have no other choice. Which means you are going to see a rising crime rate prior to your job lose. In this instance, it might be better to have a concealable handgun rather than a rifle. A rifle won’t do you any good when it is at home and you are at work ( for you suckers in the city ). And you know what I’m going to recommend, if you are new to guns. A 38 revolver is both cheap and so butt simple the newest newbie can handle it ( okay, you might want a 357 for future power increases. Just load with 38 now. If the price is right ). And I already know what you are going to say. “Dude, the new guy panics and blows off all six rounds and so runs out of ammo. He needs an auto to quickly reload”. Sure, until that same panic increases exponentially when a round jams. Stick with a revolver. We’ll finish up next article.

econ collapse prep 2 of 4

ECON COLLAPSE PREP 2 of 4

For a country that totally disrespected the local inhabitants property rights, we sure are hung up on the class structures associated with property ownership. Partly that was at one time the only way you could vote and partly that was a leftover from the Agricultural Age. But it is important to keep in mind because in the near future it is going to be more important than ever. As the economy implodes and the homeless population grows, the folks owning land and paying the taxes are going to demand more law enforcement action against any trespassing ( which might also be another way to get rid of those competing for jobs ). Also, as the economy goes to crap, the local cops will be collecting vagrants and imprisoning them and forcing them into unpaid labor for local businesses that can pay the cops ( beware that five hundred years ago a lot of European countries got so desperate for cannon fodder that they impressed prisoners into the army. Any prisoners, such as adulterers. Just not tax cheats, for some reason ). This is assured as the LEO’s tax base is destroyed and they get desperate for money. This, despite whatever the Supreme Court says about vagrancy. Just as Eminent Domain is easily abused, so will “community service” or whatnot. You do NOT want to be homeless. The above point, plus Food Stamp policy used to be you had to have a permanent address ( and it could change back to that as a cost cutting measure ), PLUS even if you stay with a friend they could coerce you with expulsion. Get your own piece of legal dirt.

No, buying junk land off E-Bay or similar Internet sellers is not guaranteed. The only guarantee in life is death, taxes and my hair staying fabulous looking. I can only say I’ve bought six lots of land in the last ten years and none bit me in the ass ( all from E-Bay venders ). There are lots now for as little as $50 a month payments. Most are $100 down. No credit is required as the seller finances. And most lots are such crap that they aren’t worth calling down the law by cheating you on them ( crap land for middle class America, golden land for survivalists. Bad roads, solar only, no grid, far from town is how you want to live, and survive ). You can’t find anymore $500 lots like I did at first, but even a two thousand dollar lot is affordable to anyone ( if anyone wants to move to my neck of the woods, go to Ruby Want Ads.com. There is a two acre lot selling for two grand. Just use due diligence as that almost sounds too good to be true ). And once you have your land ( or, rather, once you finish paying one off-the quicker the better as we are after all talking about an economic collapse any day ), you have a life long peace of mind. If you are lucky, you could time things right and use the upcoming tax returns to pay off the balance of the loan and within six months have a free and clear title. For now, most will have to be content with just putting a down on a lot and hoping the economy lasts long enough to pay it off completely. A down is not the same as a title, but at least you secure the right to pay off a lot. Don’t expect them to last once the masses discover this way of getting cheap land. Next article, guns and grains.

econ collapse prep 1 of 4

ECON COLLAPSE PREP 1 of 4

All you need to do to prep for the economic collapse for about the price of an ounce of gold. Now, granted, this advice is pretty close to the booklet on dropping out of the rat race in six months with you and the spouse both working minimum wage jobs, but as that was written some time ago and the global stock markets meltdown has most survivalists in a tiff over economic collapse right now I thought it would be a good time to rehash it ( plus, last week I did the articles on the econ collapse but left you with little concrete advice ). Also, this article differs from the booklet in that it isn’t as comprehensive. There, you were moving to the boonies and downgrading careers. Here, you are just investing in insurance rather than altering your lifestyle. This plan is not much cheaper, but it does allow for less money up front with longer to pay. For this, you won’t need to live on your junk land in order to be able to afford the other preps. The booklet was a “hurry up and prep for the ass falling out of civilization”. This article covers a less radical, less panicked plan ( for the record, I prefer the panic, but I also know most of your spouses will not support it-hence, this scaled down version ). It is more “what immediate cheap steps can I take just in case the economic collapse goes full bore bad?”.

I’m going to assume you are new to prepping. If you are not, and have beans and bullets, grains and guns, this isn’t going to be much more than a reminder to buy that damn junk land. I won’t be advising any kind of financial assets acquisition, either. As much as I loved Ruff from the ‘80’s, he was way too focused on emerging rich from the collapse. We won’t have so much luck this time around. Without the grid inputs, your house will soon be useless. Gold and silver are mostly useless for the holder, being a multi-generational wealth transfer medium, although a few years worth of silver for property tax payments is a pretty darn good idea ( here in Nevada, you can no longer pre-pay the taxes-a sign of impending hikes ). Any kind of stock or bond or retirement plan or promise from an employee is not worth the paper they are printed on. Outside of a few months living expenses, all your wealth should be in preps. A collapse is the only guarantee for the future, the timing being the only unknown. But all that is your big picture prepping. Let’s focus on the any moment now economic collapse a lot of folks think is going to happen ( my focus on the ongoing economic collapse is just the question when the plunge down the waterfall happens. Most folks look at it from the point of view that the economic collapse doesn’t happen until they lose their job and home and car. Until then it is just a recession ). Next article we’ll get into the meat of the prepping.

vitamins

VITAMINS

Would you pay $12 a year, a mere buck a month, to get supplemental vitamins to compliment your storage foods? Okay, technically it will be more than that if you take vitamin C in mega-dose amounts which I do and recommend to you, but for a simple single multivitamin it is $12 a year. Everyone is of course all jiggy with this and after reading this article will all run down to Wal-Mart because this is one of those so cheap insurance policies it would be retarded to pass it up. The problem with Wal-Mart is that for the last half of a year, every time I look into getting another several bottles for my stockpile, the in stock ones all have the same summer of 2016 expiration date. The same date as the bottles I bought awhile ago. It is almost as if Wally buys a crapload of vitamins two years before expiration, then that is the only stock the stores carry until those 200 pill bottles are about 200 days away from the expiration date. They must save a lot of money doing it that way, because if its one thing you can count on it is Wal-Mart endangering your health while they rip you off. So, what to do? Here is my plan for a four year stash of vitamin pills ( to be upgraded yearly so as to always have that amount of time ahead of you. What? You can’t spend $13 a year-a 400 pack of generic multi’s-to ensure better health? Of course you can! ).

First off, this must be complimented by sprouts, both to assure you get whatever vitamins aren’t yet discovered yet you still need and only fresh veggies can deliver them, and because a diet of stored foods blows. Fresh veggies, even if they aren’t delivering adequate amounts of vitamins, still deliver enzymes only fresh, unprocessed, undead foods can. The vitamin pills just make sure you are getting more than enough as a supplement, and the sprouts provide the enzymes your body craves. Okay, six bottles of Wal-Mart generic multivitamins cost $39. That is 1200 pills. During the first two years of ingestion, you are taking a pill every other day. These are before or just after their expiration date and hence you should be getting close enough to full potency. For the third and forth year, you go to one day. This ensures you won’t overdose on fat soluble vitamins-the manufacture formulates them with this in mind to avoid lawsuits, and that even if the potency has been halved by time you should still be getting a bare minimum for better health. Now, some of these vitamins are 300% of the daily recommended dose. And these are water soluble so no toxicity issues exist. But others are only 100%, so if you halve those doses you might be deficient in the dose. Which is why you need either another vitamin to compliment it ( vitamin C I think being one of the most important- as an aside, note the expiration dates on C are far longer in the future, and I‘m not even sure if ascorbic acid has all that many dating issues. I have several years of mega-dosage on hand and during the Apocalypse I can slightly cut back on my intake to make them last a decade or so ), but more importantly make sure to take those sprouts requirement seriously.

If you have even more storage food on hand than four years, you had better look around for a better and more expensive multivitamins than Wal-Mart, where you know the expiration is further away. Still, even at $2 a month for six years, the cost is high but not unreasonable.

golden sodomy award

THE GOLDEN SODOMY AWARD

Even after a lifetime of observing the human condition of idiocy as default setting, even after returning every day from work wondering how any business organization can possibly survive while hemorrhaging money as a result of a management team headed by Jerry’s Kids, even after chocking on my own saliva as I sputter and gag every time I see that big ass ears baboon half breed Kenyan doing his shuck and jive for the teleprompter, I still am able to find something so outlandishly moronic that everything previous to that pales in comparison. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you

www.forgesurvivalsupply.com with their one of a kind bug out bag priced at an incredible $3,500. Not $350 with me accidentally adding a zero, no. Three thousand five hundred dollars. Not Yen, Dollars. Up to this time I thought any jag off bendajo puta twat that was insane enough to spend three grand on a FLIR scope was the global lead contender for being awarded the Golden Sodomy Recipient Award. Here was some dim bulb thinking he was cleaver dropping three grand on a super deluxe toy to place atop his twelve hundred dollar AR ( with pistol grip extender forestock, ninty-round drum mag and duel flashlight/laser mounts ) when in point of fact for less money he could own his own property, with Unibomber shack, a stash of wheat, a break open or bolt rifle with a spam can of commie ammo AND a water filter good for several thousand gallons. Living out in the boonies, you don’t need to see human heat signatures behind walls. See what I’m saying?

Well, the afore mentioned yahoos have now been awarded the New Golden Sodomy Award for presenting the new worlds record for highest price survival item guaranteed to hump any drooling idiot who happens to want to buy one. I can’t conceive of anyone wanting a bug out bag in this price range, but then I thought I’d never see the day any sane person would buy a quarter million dollar home, a $150k mobile home, a truck costing $700 a month or a $20 a pound steak ( although I‘d wager your average prepper is guilty of two out of three minus the steak [ he is saving up for the BOB ] ). So, I’m sure some gumba will order one on up, to go, with a side of K-Y jelly. I don’t blame the idiots of the world for being lured into the slaughterhouse. That is how they roll. But I do find it hard to see how any company could offer such an item while feeling good about themselves. How they sleep at night or look in the mirror while shaving. For over three grand for a backpack, they should be delivering it personally, throwing in a complementary hand-job and then kissing my ass. Seriously, dudes, just because a sucker is born every minute doesn’t mean you have to take advantage of them. Sheesh!

economic games part 2 of 2

ECONOMIC GAMES 2 of 2

The short answer to why you should be concerned about the economy is that you can’t time its collapse. Any swinging cheese dingus who professes that ability is after your money. Since all markets are rigged, and our knowledge of that is superficial so we can’t know the true extent, and since push-pull geopolitical events are not broadcast beforehand, you can’t use any previous teachings of the economy to gauge its future behavior. Common sense and that little whispering reptilian brain part that ensures your survival if you only choose to listen to it ( it has millions of years of evolution guiding its radar, verses your twelve years of pathetic schooling which was mostly daydreaming, napping and attempting to squeeze Joe-Ann’s budding bosoms ) tell you the economy is in fact one hundred percent guaranteed going to melt down into a toxic puddle of goo, and then you go confusing them by reading every economist on the planet and all their opinions ( and you know what they say about opinions ). Which results in both a reassuring permission to go back to sleep and/or a smug return back to oblivion after you discover a flaw in their reasoning. As hard as it is for me to admit, past a certain point analysis is a bad thing and following your intuition is better ( says the guy who over thinks everything way too long ). Certainly you know we are in for a world of crap?

Gold and silver won’t save you ( they are long term saving accounts, with the exception of a small holding to hopefully cash in on the black market and pay your property tax with until the county government is destroyed ). ANY paper or digital savings/pension is as good as already gone and won’t save you. Praying to God definitely won’t save you ( you actually think the real God of Old Testament [ New Testament was a political creation of the Papists ] fire and brimstone wraith gives two craps about your whining pathetic unprepared ass? Fat chance. He gave you the signs, now get off your dimpled cellulite riddled GMO fed butt and help yourself ). A good paying job in the big city won’t save you. As the economy has been completely ensnared in the Banksters web, all life saving activities, food and energy and clothing and medicine and more, are controlled by economic means, the collapse of the economy is just as deadly as Yellowstone erupting or a man-made zombie virus being unleashed, if not more so. There will be ZERO soft landings, and the collapse has already started. You won’t get another warning, other than the one already in your ear. You can panic now and forcefully painfully change your paradigm, or you can wait for more pain and suffering not on your schedule. Your pathetic supplies for the two week flood or power outage will not be sufficient, nor will your pie in the sky dreaming of a one day chicken coop and asparagus patch. Let me put it bluntly. Get your crap together, already.
