why must it be black or white?

WHY MUST IT BE BLACK OR WHITE?

We are all guilty of it, myself included. We too easily fall into black or white arguments ( relax, censorship dudes, I'm not talking about race. Oh, and by the way, communism called and congratulated you on on abolishing the Bill Of Rights ). I ONLY talk about frugal preps, and you always counter with some Yuppie Scum argument that if you don't have the best you will die, immediately, at the first whiff of grape. Then, to really embarrass yourself, you automatically assume I'm advocating shopping only at the dumpster behind the dollar store.

*

We are forever having this conversation, you accusing me of killing off minions left and right by not calling for premier equipment, me telling you I call for MIDDLIN quality. For those of you Yankee Scum hiding under a rock, that means middle quality. Not too crappy, and not priced as a designer brand. A dollar pack of band-aids are worthless, the amount of glue unable to hold the bandage in place. The actual brand, Band-Aid, is priced at royalty ransom levels. You just test a few different brands, or even store brands ( some stores are more of a rip-off than others ) and get the cheapest with quality.

*

I'll be damned if I would ever buy an AR with a poly receiver ( for a unregistered home built, that is an acceptable trade off ), and especially not an upper polymer. The next step up in quality, aluminum parts, say, Anderson, still doesn't have a good enough reputation. Palmetto State is the next step up, the MIDDLIN quality. I see no reason to spend twice that, just for a brand name. Colt? Seriously? Hump Colt. How many kids did they put in the ground, with their crap manufacturing?

*

Then, if that foils their normal arguments, they move over to equating money spent with quality. For instance, freeze dried costs the most, it is the best food. I must have freeze dried! Freeze dried is CRAP! You lack a lot of fat, as that doesn't process well. You lack fiber. You lack taste, a lot of times. The only thing you don't lack are bragging rights and a whole bunch of extra salt. Am I saying freeze dried should be verbotten? Of course not. But that is where we usually see the assumption, the black and white argument.

*

A lot of folks argue that by gum and by golly, they deserve the best. And they can afford it. Which, honestly, I have grave doubts on both those points. SOME people? Sure. They are called outliers. They are not meant to represent the whole. You toss outliers, in your calculations, like an errant bullet while grouping. First, why do you deserve luxury, over other people? Have you birthed a genius? Have you cured cancer? No, you probably mean since you have extra money due to winning the Surplus Imperial Resources lottery, you are far more worthy of special consideration.

*

And if you start blathering about hard work, I will vomit blood on you. You don't know what hard work is-go help out a Mexican peasant grow enough corn for his family. I'm not some communist, intent on redistribution of wealth. I don't DISAGREE with the pre-Reagan tax rates penalizing excess wealth. If the taxes were 90%, and you can't make it on your five times your workers salary, perhaps you wouldn't buy so many hookers and blow. All I'm trying to point out is that you are not special, you don't necessarily work harder or smarter. You DID get lucky being born into this system when you did.

*

Yeah, I know, it STILL sounds like an Obammy speech. He wasn't entirely wrong, just mostly. But the way we've chosen to run our current system is to punish the poor, rather than the rich, to address income inequality. Do people UNJUSTLY covert your wealth? Of course they do. People are lazy and moronic. But Uber-Capitalism is so over the top in its inequality, rubbing it in poor people faces, that you will have blow back. That is just human nature. You can't stop it by dismissively labeling it as communism.

*

The previous system we had, which capped income to a large degree, did present a fairer choice to the poor. That might not seem fair to Richie Rich, but he was actually protected under that unfair system. Now? We WILL see another French Revolution here, and the rich will die, violently and WITHOUT their wealth. That is what unrestrained greed get you. So get off of your high horse about your “rights” to retain as much money as your grubby little heart desires. Libertarianism will never work, and the reason for that is biology. Which is never fair.

*

Am I envious of others wealth? That gets thrown in my face a lot, as I make fun of the unicorn cavalry armed with FLIR scopes ( minion visual-thanks dude! ). I could give two craps if your hobby is collecting soon to be worthless fiat currency. Why would I envy your sleepless nights as you toss and turn, trying to figure out how to protect “my's moola” from thieves ( inflation, home invaders, swindlers )? Or how to keep getting more, to replace what is lost? Worship your god Mammon, your false idol. I'll take a plain woman that loves me, over a bought and paid for whore that looks pretty. Enjoy that wealth she leaves you.

*

Next up we have the argument, well, I just don't go to Starbucks, so I can buy the best stuff. 'Cause not buying the best is stupid. Therefor, I'm smarter than you. Let's dissect THAT piece of offal. You are smarter than me, because you can identify the highest priced item? Really? That requires intelligence? You are not very smart dude. At all. You buy into the Peacock Feather paradigm. You think the appearance of wealth conveys unto you intelligence, worthiness and mate selection? Congratulations, you are the Alpha Male.

*

Of all the other Pussies That Buy Superiority. Yes, there will always be females swooning at your hollow chested weak chinned bald ass, because that pays. Me? I'm not impressed with your paycheck. Let me see how tough you are without money, if you want to show me who is better. Who would you rather have lead you? Hitler, who fought in a war and lived in poverty and was intelligent, or FDR who was born into money, was spoiled, bought and paid for, and was cunning and lawyer devious, without an original thought?

*

It isn't how much money you have, it is how well you manage what you have ( this does NOT apply to penis size, sorry guys. She'll tell you what you want to hear, but no matter how that worm wiggles, well...let's just say you ain't winning any prizes ). I can do more prepping on three thousand a year than a lot of people can on thirty. That is what frugal prepping is all about. Getting the most for your money, rather than spending more.

FAT

Most processed foods have fat in them. As I am discovering much to my dismay as one food item after another is added to my Prohibited Items list. No more Dorito's. Not that the slop is as good as it used to be, MSG probably replacing actual spices, but I loved the little bastards nonetheless. Peanut butter? No great lose, but it was always a nice option. I could go on and on ( no more Twinkies, dammit. Not that those were as good now, BUT! “Chocodiles” were the absolute bestest ), but my main point is that the one common denominator is oil.

*

You might recall that a few years ago ( was it ten years? Time flies ) the folks that made margarine, never a taste treat, changed the formula where the slop didn't even melt so good anymore. They were facing food inflation costs ( thanks, $140 oil and banker financing issues ) and we got an inferior product of an already inferior Junk Food. Well, I think these same greedy bastards are at it again, and they all jumped on the bandwagon the same time as soon as the first reports of soy crop failures showed up.

*

They are doing something with the oil they put in products. Something different than what they were. I don't know if they are buying old rancid oil from McDonald's and mixing it with new soy oil that is now much more expensive ( because a nickel a difference in cost is the difference between the CEO getting a golden parachute retirement or not, and you know which one they'll pick ), or if they are putting “fillers” in there, perhaps fracking oil waste, but the crap is toxic. My body refuses it. By which I mean extremely painful heartburn or what I call “Gremlins” ( painful hard knot under my sternum ), not vomiting or diarrhea.

*

I've had heartburn for at least seven years or so. This oil issue is more recent. I'm convinced the oil in processed foods is responsible. You see, even old age symptoms are a sign from Baby Jesus. In this case, eat healthier. Much healthier, even if taste must be sacrificed. Live longer, to hear the sweat music of the lamentations of their bitches. Not that I'm bitter! Now, here is my point. And it only took me 25% of the article to arrive at it. Dirt cheap cooking oil is becoming a thing of the past. You won't have much time to stockpile.

*

Just like wheat will soon no longer be Oil Age cheap, just as ammunition is on its last desperate reduced price, NOW, not waiting for you to get off your ass to act in a timely manner, now we are also seeing the end of Cheap Cooking Oil ( and, word to the wise, Peak Cheap Coffee is probably already behind us-world reserve currency is failing, remember? ). I suffered physically to bring you this message. Do NOT make my sacrifice be in vain. Stock up on your oil. Now. For under the price of one case of steel ammo for your poodle shooter, you'll have five years of oil.

*

The original chapter here, I recommended lard. I no longer do. After that book was published, I ended up having to throw away all of the lard. I don't remember how many jugs, but the empties stacked as high as I am tall. If not taller. It was a very traumatic experience, I might have blacked some of it out. I'm thinking it was probably close to $200 worth. To be fair, of course, that was what three Lee-Enfield no1's cost me back in the 90's, which I sucked up the loss to buy the superior no4's ( oh, but the collectors price today! ).

*

The best learned lessons cost money, so that their impact is still with you a third of your lifetime later. The lard, even though it is hydrogenated, all went rancid at about the five year mark ( about four after expiration. I think ). The one can of shortening I had with it? Still good to go. To this day. Is it putrid, nasty, unhealthy crap? Of COURSE it is. Do you know what is even less healthy? Not having fat in your storage pantry. You will need fat. You have zero idea today, because almost none of you has lived in the cold, working outside, not having central heat, not having a car heater.

*

Your body will suddenly be lacking all that fat you got in ALL processed foods. Hell, salad dressing. Whole wheat Triscuits. Pretty much ALL processed foods. Stupid ass dumb ass retard ass vegetarians and “Michael” Obammy be damned, your body needs fats. The reason you pick shortening is because the crap doesn't seem to go bad ( yes, Francis, your super ninja olive oil is still good after ten years. Will it be in another ten? Twenty? Rawles reported a can from WWII still being as “edible” as it was back when it was packed. And, Francis, can you afford to stock five years worth of that expensive oil? ).

*

Look. I'm not getting into the whole low price argument. That is for tomorrow or the next day, its own article. Simply, however, if you can't time the collapse you CANNOT ONLY PICK THE VERY BEST!!! Oh My Mother Humping GOD!!! How hard is this stuff? Start out more affordably. Stock cheap and stock deep. Then, if you didn't run out of time, upgrade. Use the old slop as back-up's or barter ( within your own tribe, duh ).

*

What? I'm hosting a class on rocket science here? I don't know science. Or math. I do know what you need. I do know most of our budgets are for beer, not champagne. Even if you make butt tons, most is already accounted for. The affordable cooking oil that you can afford, for now, is shortening. I stock six cans a year, as I figure I'll eat very little in the summer and more in the winter ( I also have pressure canned butter, estimated at two years worth if I and the NOL eat very sparingly. I spent the serious coin on that AFTER I already had my shortening ).

*

My thirty cans minimum should last five years. That being the minimum I set for myself. Which varies of course. I have only six months of canned meat, but seven or eight years of wheat. I just shoot for five as a standard. It amuses me to have Five Year Plans as the Soviets did. And where do you think Stalin got that idea from? Most likely those little Ormanental rice eaters just off the coast of the terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, who kicked Russia's ass just a few decades after starting their industrialization. The Soviets knew they had to do the same, even quicker, to survive her enemies.

*

Just keep in mind that shortages alone drove up the price of shortening fifty percent, several years ago. What do you think it is going to do now, after all that soy spoilage and farmer bankruptcy? Get the crap now, while you can. Try to get the plastic cans, not the wax paper cans, for longevity. They still sold metal coffee cans when I stored the bulk of mine, and I used the empty to shield them from rodents. Upside down, over the shortening, with the lid now on the shelf under the oil can. You could use the plastic coffee can, I guess it MIGHT work, but I'd recommend metal trash cans now. $150 in cooking oil deserves a $25 storage can.

rural v urban 2

RURAL V URBAN 2

I tell you, flee, run, hide, junk land. You sigh, roll your eyes, and tell me, employment. You cannot actually live today without bowing down and kowtowing to the Elite Benevolent Banker Overlords. NOT using money is not an option. Even the bums need Food Stamps, or, if they are extra paranoid and won't leave a paper trail ( the Food Stamp bums are semi-functioning alcoholics, afraid to wander too far from their unicorn sauce, and hence play the official game ), they need guilty peoples money. Or, if in Dallas, they shoplift and the customers with jobs subsidize them.

*

Just as you risk your life because of jobs, the people on the banker food trough will risk YOUR life to keep the money trickling in. Judges, police officers, city councilmen, they will all screw you to keep their gravy train rolling. Not JUST because they are greedy ( or, their trophy bitches are, anyway ), but because they need to eat. Their needs trump yours. If there is money to be made by chemically castrating your son ( say, in that bastion of freedom Texas-keep lying to yourselves, Lone Star bitches ), start calling him Suzy.

*

Back when we lived by violence, even as it became institutionalized ( deputizing a posse, drafting men to fight for a colonial possession ), it was understood that other people wanted to kill you for their gain. We have a bit of an issue understanding that, today. We don't understand that as our empires shrinks, retirees in Peoria substituting for the failing PetroDollar, it is everyone on the bankers payroll against YOU. Do you Honest Injun think being close to neighbors will protect you?

*

If your neighbors hear screaming next door, sure, they will probably call the police. And the police will most likely meander on out. And your cooling corpse might see justice served if the invaders did something stupid to get them caught. But, here is the obvious elephant in the room. The police do not actually give a wet fart. Sure, they will care about paperwork, about clearing the case in time for promotion, but they don't care about YOU. Your neighbor does not care about you, not enough to get involved. And the DA most certainly does NOT care about you as you are just fresh meat sacrificed on the alter of political ambition.

*

Even if all the evidence shows you defended yourself against overwhelming threats, this is where the institutionalized bribery comes in. Do you have enough wealth to legally bribe the authorities into “allowing” you to defend yourself? You might say “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6”, but this is bravado covering the injustice of today's system. You will more likely go to jail or be bankrupted, in these Blue jurisdictions ( because it isn't JUST about taking guns, but also prohibiting their use if you keep them ), than be allowed to go on with your life should you save it.

*

And here is the huge difference between the city and the country. In the country, you need some bullets and a shovel. In the city, you'll need lawyers and wealth, SHOULD you survive using those bullets. In the rural areas, you JUST need to survive the attack. In the city, you'll need to survive the attack of both the invaders and your so called defenders. Your Heroic Thin Blue Line first has to allow you to live ( city cops being a tad trigger happy, working in the war zone ), then the scumbag politicians and lawyers must be battled.

*

In the country, perhaps no one can hear you scream. In the city, no one gives a crap if you do when they hear it. What are they going to do? Go over to help you, or even testify in court if they witness anything? I don't think so. But a neighbor, if you have one, in the country? Hell, they WANT to fire off a few mag dumps. And they have their own shovel, too. Not that you even have a neighbor, probably, but a couple of protective dogs and a worn sidearm are a much better guarantee than indifferent city neighbors, cops that don't care, and a vicious attack lawyer working against you.

*

AND, very important, the difference translates into your ability and desire to defend yourself. If you are in the city, sure, you have a gun. But will a tiny voice in your head cause you to pause at a critical moment, because of your fear of the establishment protection monopoly? In the country, you'll be blasting away without hesitation, because Shovel. In the city, you'll hesitate, calculating your odds AFTER the shooting. That could make all the difference in the world. Look, home invasion is a thing, city or country.

*

Liberal prosecutors are a thing, no matter where you live. Those slimy lawyers have oozed into every location. That is what slime does, ooze. Just look at Virginia to see how much the will of the people matters anymore. In a city, if the prosecutor gets hold of you, you are double dog dingus dry humped, regardless of the state laws protecting you. Don't fool yourself at the degree of hatefulness and ignoring the law Blue forces do. The impeachment farce should have learned you that. If you are forced to defend yourself in the country, you are just as humped.

*

But you don't have to call the police and report the crime, in the country, do you? You have the option of Shoveling And Shutting Up. You can be your own jury, judge and executioner. At one time, everyone understood this. Now, our first instinct is to ask our benevolent overlords for permission to do anything. It has been ingrained in us our whole lives. If you live in the city, that feeling is reinforced all the time. If you live in the country, at least the barrage is not so constant.

*

You can take the time to stop and think, under no pressure. You don't have to play the rigged game, at least to some degree. And postscript, for the love of all that is good and holy, if you are a rural boy, and know all the other Good Ol Boys who just happen to be LEO's, do NOT trust them, no matter how your relationship is. If one is your brother in law, fine. But unless one is a Shovel Friend ( a good enough friend to help you bury a body ), you cannot trust them at the end of the day.

*

NO institutions are left in this country you can trust, including the Ninja Hero military or our Benevolent First Responder cops. If you aren't part of their tribe, you are humped. Hell, the enlisted troops and street cops cannot even trust their own officers. Even within our tribes, true trust is lacking. You, an outsider? Even a friendly one? No way. If you must trust, trust but verify as our boy Reagan said.

rural v urban

RURAL V URBAN

Recently there was a question of how safe your rural property is, given instances of home invasions there, which included torture in search of hidden valuables. Naturally, because 'Murica!, this happened in California. It simply amazes me how many times we see Turd World Behavior here in our country, and so casually dismiss it, in a hurry on our way to get to the FLIR store before they close for the day. And if we were good little helpers to Baby Jesus that day, well, there might be a bonus of hookers with blow on that corner.

*

America has always been a pretty violent place. Not because, Evil Guns, but because it took us three hundred years to finally wipe out the feather Indians. Think about that for a second. Even with all the civilized advantages of steel weapons and steel plows, even after a 90% die-off biological war, it still took us three centuries to finally kill off the indigs. And we never would have finally accomplished that if we had still been importing a lot of our materials from overseas ( you know, logistics chain ) past the first two centuries.

*

Culturally, violence is natural to us. And that violence is the only thing that kept us free from oppressive government, until they bribed us into pacifism with oil and colonial treasure. Now we are sitting around like little pussies, whining about our lost bribes and complaining that mean widdle mens is viowent! And I don't mean that the SJW's are complaining about Toxic Masculinity, I mean that men are whining about other men being violent and we can't do anything about it. Sad Panda :(

*

We whine about tribal Blacks hunting us in the city and the prisons ( where most are political prisoners ). We whine about our lost power to bitches. We whine about LEO's targeting us. We whine about the politicians taking away our “freedom sticks”, taxing us more, then replacing us with Diversity OtherColors. We whine about everything, and yet we do nothing about it, content to grasp at the remaining pretty glittery unicorn booby prizes that aren't even rewards but rather tools to further enslave us ( McMansions, trophy wife, cars, grid power, corporate employment ). I'm no better than you whiny bitches, and it makes my blood curl. We ARE a bunch of worthless pussies.

*

Now, don't misunderstand me. I do NOT call for revolt. That would be illegal. And stupid. I'm merely pointing out the cultural norm. I'm just an observer here. A hundred and seventy years ago families, old humpers and pregnant bitches and kids, were living in compounds in hostile barbarian country, subject to attacks at any time as they went about farming or ranching. And today, we huddle inside behind our computers and whine about Hispanic invaders are going to come take our gold and buried poodle shooters, complaining how our benevolent corporate overlords are about to lay us off and we might have to take a pay cut.

*

Now, I know most of my minions know exactly what I am talking about, and know this criticism doesn't REALLY apply to them. Most of you were already violently disposed from the middle class and are no longer worthless and weak. And whining, while embarrassing, is about all we can do because while we are behind enemy lines ( John has a long mustache ), we have ZERO public support. Waging a guerrilla campaign would just turn us into martyrs, with no enemy body bags to justify the sacrifice. Friends and family would in fact turn on us. There is no support group.

*

THAT is the whole purpose behind the Divide And Conquer which cost our enemy about zero dollars ( as did the bribes to destroy our culture ). No rebel has any help in his insurgency. And the bribes? That was so that anyone helping the rebels would lose all their wealth. If you think any cop is giving up his pension ( and that right there is why the feds will take over the failing state retirement funds. Until they can't ), I say unto thee, verily, you are a dumb ass. If he has a side business, and the house is paid off, MAYBE.

*

Cops are just like everyone else who unwilling or not supports the current system. They need to eat too. It is a bit unfair to expect otherwise. As you should also understand why your wife turns against you ( she doesn't want to lose the kids ), as does your friend ( he doesn't want to be homeless, bank account frozen, the wife in jail for aiding and abetting ) if you rebel. And we are SO afraid of going to jail and getting AIDS, we don't do much of anything against vicious home invaders. Except fantasize about leaving such a crime ridden craphole.

*

We used to have a solution to the violence of others, and that was equal if not greater violence. And we were culturally rewarded for that. Today, we are the criminals if we protect ourselves. Then we are victims of the government that won't allow us to defend ourselves, children shot in the back and mothers shot as they hold their infants ( if the infants are not just burnt to a crisp-”in order to save the children, we had to kill the children” ). Then we become victims of those not afraid to use violence.

*

When FerFal in Argentina blathered on about you being safer in the city than in the country, he was correct. About circumstances in his country. If you were in the city, you bribed either the police ( above and beyond taxes ) or the neighborhood crime lord protection money. No one was going to invade your home and torture you, in fear of summery execution. If you lived in the country, you had no such protection.

*

Things are a bit different here. The bribery here is institutionalized. It is above board and legal. For instance, it is illegal for anyone to profit off of insider information. Except Senators and Congressmen. And don't even get me started on the book deals or speaking engagements with fees in the tens of thousands plus. You can't actually bribe a cop, and we are LESS safe because of it. If you can't bribe the police, you can't enforce the law as a crime lord in your territory. Which means you can't keep the citizens safe. The police don't WANT to keep the citizens safe, as they are too busy raising money.

When I first started writing the original version here, Obammy the First Kenyan was in office for the second time. This was when you knew for sure that our nation was comprised of the worlds dumbest douchebags, or, the vote was rigged. Pick your poison. Then, all the fools that might have been smart enough to not vote for Barry, were silly enough to think that the ammo shortage/inflation was caused by said Muslim immigrant. Right, because the ammo was pricey and scarce his first term. Oh? It wasn't?

*

Yeah, but, you know, Alphabet Agencies stockpiling ammo! Yeah, for sure, that's why! Despite the fact that five plus years of blowing off bagazillions of rounds in the Sandbox didn't cause a shortage. Then, during The White House Negro's second term, there was no rimfire to be had. Because, you know, the first thing that is hoarded during a gun control scare is 22's. NOT! What people simply will not accept is resource scarcity. If they admit copper is in short supply, bought up by China, they have to admit two paradigm changes that are simply too scary to contemplate.

*

That first, the “world's greatest economy” cannot secure its commodities, losing out to Rice Eaters. And second, you cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet. And perhaps a bonus third, if they admit to Peak Iron Ore, Peak Silver or Peak Copper, they have to admit to Peak Oil. And that simply will NOT do. The US experienced Peak Iron Ore in 1959, and in 1979 were still in denial that our industrial economy was gone. Talk about leading a horse to water and MF'er won't drink.

*

Hubbert was telling everyone in the Fifties that US oil peak was 1970 and the global peak was 2000 ( he was off by five years on the global, but there was a pretty severe demand destruction before that. I still call it close enough, given all the various moving parts he had to keep track of ). After being proven correct, people STILL want to dredge up all the arguments used prior to his predictions that have kept proving wrong. Nuclear will save us, coal will save us, tight oil will save us ( tight oil just kicked the can down the road a decade. Thank you fracking, but your miracle is near over ).

*

Theory based on proof, then proof itself, NEVER changes peoples minds. I only keep on about ores and oil because I'll get through to a few people and their asses will be saved. Several folks followed my advice on junk land, my bleating and irritatingly persistent nagging lighting a fire under their ass, and I can rest happy some readers will have markedly improved lives and increased safety. I'm trying to do the same with Peak Everything, and endure the derision and delusion of 99% of you so I can help the 1%. My reward will be is heaven. Yours will be a Darwin Award.

*

Now, getting back to copper, we should all be much more afraid, now, as it is again cheap and plentiful. That just means China's economy is taking a big squishy, global manufacturing is crap ( and by crap, I don't mean reduced profits. I mean, in free fall, 1930's style ) and domestic demand is low enough that a lot of these companies are going to be going out of business ( meaning, the prices will shoot way up, again, lacking competition and desperation pricing ). Why am I telling you all of this?

*

Because it is NOT about the guns. It is about the ammunition. Not to say the gun isn't important. I cover what semi auto is the best survival rifle in my last book BBBno16. In case you didn't follow my advice to NOT use semi-auto because, you know, logistics ( BBBno2, Apocalypse Gun Porn ). BBBno9 has the Forever Gun book, how to shoot a smokeless rifle long after everyone else is out of ammunition. All free at my web site, or for sale at Amazon if you want to donate. Of course a gun is important. When I first started blogging, a Lee-Enfield was $125 ( refurbished, even ). I wrote version one of this and it was already $400.

*

Now it is $600. A Lee-Enfield, THE mostest perfect survival gun, ever, is no longer a viable choice, because One Is None. And don't get me started on those spare parts. The ammunition for the Lee-Enfield, conversely, is now at its cheapest and most available in about fifteen years. Probably because no one is buying the rifles anymore ( as I write, Midway finally ran out- after about a year- of Pakistani 303B at about 42 cents, if you got a free shipping special ). Yet, I'm telling you ammunition is your primary concern. And I don't mean, “only buy military calibers”. That CAN be important, if you are using steel cased ammo ( NEVER for my beloved Enfield, but fine for more modern arms ).

*

Quantity. How much ammunition you can buy SHOULD be your primary concern as to what firearm you choose. Obviously you have to pick a gun that is suitable for your area. That is the cyclical action you desire. That reaches the distances you can comfortably hit at. So I'm NOT telling you what to buy as far as rimfire or shotgun or deer rifle or combat carbine. You KNOW all of that nonsense. If you are totally unfamiliar with firearms, say, after living in New York or California, make life easy for yourself and just buy a cheap revolver. I'd recommend a 38. Recoil DOES matter.

*

And a 20guage break open shotgun. Idiot proof guns, with cheap ammo. Otherwise, if you know your guns and know what you need, there WILL be something in your price range ( due to desperate companies trying to stay in business. Just expect lower quality. Except perhaps Savage, all around ). Obviously, as always, One Is None. Then, ammunition. Focus on ammo, not JUST the gun. You need a butt ton. If you are unsure of that measurement, it is MORE. I really think this is your last opportunity to buy affordable ammo ( not even factoring in increased government sanctions ).

*

Because of this coming shortage, from fuel and ore shortages, from governments trying to repeal the Second Amendment through the back door, and because the consumption sector of the economy is going to be dealt a body blow very soon after the stock market crashes ( many corporations are borrowing more for operations than the company is worth ), I'm revising my bare minimums up slightly. Revolver ammunition, 1k. Semi pistol, 5k. Bolt rifles, 7k. Semi rifles, 25k. Rimfire bolt, 15k. Semi rimfire, 30k ( this is for a rimfire used as a Forever Gun ). Shotgun the same as pistols.

*

Does this mean you might need to go lower quality on the ammo? Probably. Although I'd most likely rely on reloading before I get too cheap of crap. I've heard bad things on the cheaper rimfire, the latest stuff. I would trust Tula ammo, but do your own research on Wolf ( I won't use it ). What I did on my Enfield was to concentrate on the cases, getting that as cheap as possible, THEN worried about reloading components. To me, I wasn't too concerned with what the case was, or who from. I just knew that the weak link.

*

These figures might shock and dismay you. I hope you realize that just as industrial Oil Age wheat will soon no longer be a thing, neither will affordable ammunition. There are tons of guns out there. But ammunition is THAT weak link. If you cannot swing feeding a semi, go with a manual action. If you think it is a good idea, or are with a group that thinks they can survive blowing through ammo after the apocalypse, you don't have any idea what an apocalypse is. Go back to your lame ammo stockpile, slap a FLIR on your gun and count your MRE's. You'll die soon enough where you'll avoid almost all the unpleasantness.

easily kept secret

EASILY KEPT SECRET

As the saying goes, it is easy for three people to keep a secret. As long as two of them are dead. I'm not sure how this carries over to conspiracy theories, unless we ALWAYS hear the truth, but refuse to believe it. Recall, there was actually recordings on a phone call where the third tower was ordered to be blown ( “pull it” ), as well as a lot of early TV clips that “disappeared” which told totally different stories than the accepted official one. In the case of these, I suppose you just air every nut jobs theory and let the real ones be covered by the noise. The truth might be out there, but good luck finding it.

*

Myself, I don't need conclusive evidence or the exact proof, to know that the powers that be are always up to something nefarious. With, say, the JFK assassination, I just use the process of elimination. I take all the heavily pushed Hollywood crap, such as from Oliver Stone or Martin Scorsese, and dismiss the Military Industrial Complex or the Mob. Of all the books and movies and theories, which is discussed the least? The story about the Federal Reserve and Johnny Boy's plan to move money creation from the central bank back to the Treasury.

*

What did they have on JFK? Some infidelities with Monroe and similar airheads. Hell, I'm sure even the little wife knew about those. So, they weren't left with much choice but to pop him. Why would anyone be silly enough to mess with the Red Shield? No idea. It seems inconceivable. But not knowing the whole story, it is hard to say. But ever since then, I'm sure every President or Vice President has had actually criminal activity the Elite in charge of selection had proof of.

*

Even my boy Ronald seems to have been backed by the Hollywood Jewish Mafia ( think, “Once Upon A Time In America” ), thank you minion reporting. I loved Reagan, but even I must bow to the inevitable proof of him being bought and controlled ( and later, completely Not There, dementia, with Evil Ass Clown Bush Sr calling the shots ). I mean, Come On! Clinton? How many bodies were there as evidence? Shrub? That boy was dumber than dirt, easily controlled, but I'm sure his drunken days left a trail of blackmailable evidence.

*

Barry, the cocaine dealer? From Kenya? With a clearly fake birth certificate? Of COURSE he was easily malleable. And Trump. Your Orange Man is no better. The Red Shield bailed him out of a few of his notoriously bad as usual business deals and has owned him since. They hint at mob construction to hide their own involvement ( from the bulk of the population. But they don't REALLY try to cover it up all that well. Like that clip of “Michelle” dancing in a pair of sweats, with some bouncing going on. And I don't mean the top sweatshirt.

*

I died a little bit that day, looking on. A rather mean minion just HAD to forward that. Bastard! I mean, I was JOKING when I called “him” “Micheal”. I thought I was being clever. Now I have nightmares of White House sheets being smeared in fecal matter ( and that was BEFORE Trump moved in-HA! ), I'm sure a prophecy of what is to come as the flag is desecrated for the last time as we are destroyed and Balkanized. But, there you go. What can you do? It isn't like we weren't warned. “Make 'Murica Great Again” is just ripping off Reagan, it doesn't mean anything changes.

*

So much for conspiracy theories, let's move on to keeping secrets as pertains to you. A big and loud and irritating screech is upon the land as almost every county in Virginia goes Gun Sanctuary, in response to the Leftard In Charge trying to ban semi's and militias. Gun owners are making spectacles of themselves, patting themselves on the back so vigorously that chiropractors will be busy for the holiday season, allowing their Little Suzy to get a pony this year! And there is born another spoiled princess some poor schmuck will be forced to endure later on. Way to go, Gun Fags.

*

Well, you're hearing a whole lot of bloviating on this issue. One guy says, Thin Blue Line Fanboy here, no shootie coppies! Another rears up to verbally slap him down, traitor, unlawful orders, pieces of silver, etcetera. I mean, I'm sorry, but it is ALL, either side or any opinion, just a bunch of women in a coffee klatch flapping their lips. It is fans waving the team pendent. It is pretty easy to support those in another state that are the ones going up against the danger, isn't it?

*

I get having an opinion, and feeling strongly. We all have those, on many topics, and air that dirty laundry with no shame. What takes me by surprise is when the feelings get so heated. Because most of their ideas are Pure D pieces of moronic offal. Why would they think working within or organizing another system would work out for them at all? Voting failed, or this anti-gun douche would never have gotten elected ( take heed Texas, with your Beto's and one eyed military “hero's” ).

*

And fighting against the state, which OF COURSE the federal government will back, is pretty retarded. At least on an organized basis. Guerrilla warfare needs to be decentralized, not organized. Anyone calling for organization is either showing off his knowledge of history through Hollywood ( I know, I've made the same mistake. Bad on me. At least I LEARN that isn't fact but rather propaganda ) or actually a Quisling. And we all know there is a crap load of those bastards around. Even your Good Buddy you hunt with, could be dropping a dime on your ass if Dear Wife so instructed him. More than money, pussy has ruined more lives, and for “feelings”.

*

That is another Crap Test that our good buddy Darwin plays on your ass all the time. If you are under that spell, expect bad things evolutionary wise. Not to say, ladies, you can't be in charge, mostly, through your biological weapon. Just that when it comes time for choosing Suck, rather than Being Sucked, that man of yours needs to know when it is time to smack that bitch down. “Feelings” will get you living in a Full Diversity neighborhood at the time of the collapse, “sharing” with all the “unfortunates”. I say unto them, verily, and hump you very much. Will your bitch?

*

This brings us back to secrets. And before proceeding, let it be known again my first two rules. One, let the government defeat itself. Wait for it to collapse on its own. And two, it is illegal to overthrow the government, so see rule one. Having said that, you understand I advocate NOTHING, let us discuss how others less enlightened than we band of minions might be thinking about this fight in Virginia. What would be the most effective way of fighting back? It obviously isn't voting, because if voting changed anything it would be illegal.

*

The fact that Soviet citizens were compelled to vote should tell you all you need to know about that. Residents of Oz, also ( at least is was, at one time. Unsure of current status ), rather embarrassingly. I mean, come on! Do you REALLY think the residents of Roo Island actually voted to be disarmed? That was just at the beginning of the Dreaded PC, and the forces of logic should have prevailed. And we, with an actually Bill Of Rights the Oz folk don't have, without a gamed system, how are we allowing ourselves the same? Voting your way out of Clown World is illegal. And organizing to fight back just makes you an identifiable target. If I were a redneck with a poor attitude, and never Gave A Hump my whole life, I wouldn't have to be all that smart to figure out that there were plenty of targets of opportunity, too far down the food chain to warrant protection.

*

Good Gravy, they write books about this kind of stuff. You don't have to be a scholar reading old timey Ornamental military philosophers. It's in the fiction aisle. And some of it is even available on Kindle Unlimited, for the budget conscience. Some silly hillbilly might just get motivated to pull some stupid like that. Are you ready, in your state, after that copycat chain of dominoes starts toppling? And, yes, I know this seems quite obvious, but reading all these comments sections, few seem to be thinking this way like we are.

PEEv2c6part2 ( post 2 of 2 today )

How Much Food Should You Store, Continued

The Agricultural Revolution was probably a continuation of beer ( thanks again, you sexy beast John Wilder ), necessitated by climate change. And it very quickly turned into a military technology. Suddenly it was all, go big or go home. Since that time demographics was destiny. The womb was militarized. You hump like rabbits to overwhelm your foes or they did it better, to you. There was no getting off that treadmill, if you were hooked into the global centralized agricultural empire model ( mountain folk exempted ).

*

The price you paid was environmental degradation. Again, this was guaranteed. And that is why empires kept moving around. The denuded areas needed to recover before they could return to rule, after being newly subjugated. IF they were lucky. If unlucky, you were Mussolini unable to recover the glory that was Rome, seventeen or so centuries later, unable to colonize Africa. How embarrassing. Or, you were Greece, even longer since empire, a sad meat sack violated by Goldman Saks economically, your lands only suitable for sunbathing fat northern Europeans. Colonization was nothing more than empire overseas rather than next door, largely the spoils of improved metal working to accompany gunpowder.

*

Empires turned to carbon fuels to expand their reach and control, the British getting a quarter of the globe and the US about half, because of coal and oil respectively, but in the end it is still about agriculture. The fuels merely replaced workers with machines, far more efficiently. Then they became artificial fertilizer. The surplus mostly went to luxury and decadence, and to allowing the entire globe-not just the victors-to overpopulate. What could go wrong?

*

The problem with agriculture today is NOT Gore Warming. It is population overwhelming the food supply. A few greedy humpers are enriching themselves by feeding the enemy breeding machines, as Roman elites imported barbarians for profit until realizing too late these bastards wanted what you had, and they could take it. The rich today think Christian abortions ( a sorrier site I've never seen than celebrating Grrl Power advocates after Ireland allowed abortions ) and subsidized Muzzy births won't bite them on the ass. What a bunch of humping idiots, studying economics and math to better work for Red Shield, rather than history.

*

And a HUGE profitable industry was dismantling the ten thousand year old Agricultural infrastructure. All that dirt cheap suburban farmland, driven down in price from the robots taking over the industry ( plus, from centralization, railroads, etc ), turned from farmland to factory workers homes ( then, the factories left after doing their damage. Our elites are as violent and deadly as kings of old, just once removed from the action ). This, and that model applied to Turd World countries ( no private land to farm, live in the cities as we mechanize commodities ), effectively ruined agriculture as we ever knew it.

*

Now, centralizing farming isn't TERRIBLE, in and of itself. Rome was dependent on Egyptian wheat, especially after drought conditions finished off marginal European farms ( denuded by population pressures ). The problem is when the transportation breaks down. And that was usually the case of JUST the empire at present. It didn't effect the entire globe, as they stuck with the suburban farms surrounding the urban area model.

*

( The Inca's had a large transportation network. They saw themselves through local declines with a diverse potato crop program, different varieties suitable to different elevations and locations. One weather event or blight in one area was supported by another. In their case, transportation was a force multiplier rather than a vulnerability. They had a peasant supported road network, more for food than war. They didn't run out of road maintenance workers when slaves numbers fell through lack of conquest. Pretty smart dudes, but smallpox doesn't much care about smart )

*

Over half the globe lives in cities. A LOT of rural folks are just machine supervisors on farms. The farms no longer there to supply cities are dependent on the cities themselves. The entire ten thousand years of centralized farming has no more infrastructure besides oil dependence. We dismantled the traditional arrangement for short term profit. When children became too expensive because 90% of the population could no longer feed their kids for free ( without money ), we became even MORE dependent on oil.

*

All those nasty twats campaigning in the early twentieth century to “liberate” women through the abolition of child birth did exactly one thing. They stuck a knife in the back of western civilization underpinned by Christianity ( the Papist whores aided and abided ). In essence they handed the mantle over to Muzzies and other groups unencumbered by progressiveness. As the oil goes, so goes most of the globes agriculture, hamstrung by the lack of transportation. Does it seem odd that most likely the Reverse Reconquest of Europe will be successful?

*

Do you think that perhaps some primitive tribal group won't start farming, on a low tech basis? If you think White Hippies will do it, perhaps you forget that most Muzzies are already experienced warriors. And far from pampered and spoiled. But be that as it may, the globe will die-off, for the most part, as oil supplies fall too far to sustain the infrastructure supporting the current food paradigm. Got wheat? I assure you, you will need a LOT more than one years worth.

*

You must get through multiple years of die-off, which comes AFTER economic collapse necessitating using some of those food stores, then many years of warfare setting in place new governments, not to mention normal weather related crop declines AND a learning curve being a full time food producer. If you cannot see the value of industrial agricultural mass oil age produced grains, stocked deep so as to offer a five to ten year stockpile, you are already on the Darwin Award list. You have already failed Malthusian Economics 101. You are a zombie, dead minion walking.

*

Start with a minimum of three years of food ( if it is JUST wheat for now, better than nothing, baseline of calories secured. Improve later. Calories FIRST ). Five years shortly after that. That should be your minimum, NOT just one year. You are welcome.
