howling wasteland 3


HOWLING WASTELAND 3
Rwanda is the perfect event to teach survivalists how the future will unfold. Bosnia was a different kettle of fish, even if still instructive. That conflict was political, fueled by religion. Of course, so is Ireland. No, you want to focus on Rwanda because that was indeed all about the food. The tribal differences would have made absolutely no difference if everyone was well fed. And, no, there were NOT bodies dropping from starvation before war started. That isn't how these things work. The Lizard brain, the one that always confuses the Monkey Mind? That little peckerwood is responsible.
*
As is my contention, humans are on the whole rather stupid. The reason for this is a survival trait. Culture is survival to local conditions and culture must be blindly followed. To the point the mind must disregard any information that goes contrary to that ( keep this in mind if you ever foolishly think to “debate” a liberal or communist or OtherColor. Your realities, set by culture conditioning, are different. You cannot use logic to challenge someones reality ). In defense of your moronic ways, the Lizard Brain guards you, only concerned with physical personal individual survival.
*
Most people do NOT have a rational mind that looks around and says, oh, golly gosh, I notice danger in the form of decreasing energy supplies that feed us. Or, I notice that my neighbor Jabooboo has a garden plot way too small to feed his family ( in Rwanda, overpopulation led to farmers sons getting smaller and smaller plots as more children were passed the land as inheritance ). No, what happens is that the Lizard Brain notices these things. Then, the Monkey Mind is notified.
*
The monkey mind ONLY sees its reality as part of a group. Think about all the stupid crap you've ever done to fit into a cultural expectation. You go through worthless schooling, all the time knuckling under to peer pressure to act within group standards ( or, we were. I don't know about now, with bullying outlawed and “diversity” embraced ). You might have joined the military, to be patriotic or because of blood lust ( or both ), ignoring the threat to your life by this action. You conformed to military group Mind Meld.
*
You got married, and not because you even really liked your spouse all that much. It was the manly thing to do to support a family, and you conformed to the group standard on that ( do NOT think I'm stating this in a negative way. Pack animals gotta pack ). It was the female group standard to at one time be submissive and nurture but to now destroy the family unity to be allowed to join the Matriarchy. You can't hate on monkey's wanting to be part of the group. It isn't realistic to think they have the power to change alone.
*
I see this dynamic so clearly with my father and stepmother, the one blindly supporting his wife no matter how much she screws him over, the other spouting FemLib nonsense constantly and using his devotion as justification. Poor bastard. This is the third wife he has existed to support, now on prescription life support to continue to feed the maw with money. And you can't blame either one, because of cultural conditioning. Dear old dad, still helping me by teaching me valuable life lessons. People do NOT act rationally. They do NOT listen to logic-they only listen to programming. Don't fight that trend.
*
I try not to get upset when confronted by readers who have encountered a Wrong Think piece by me. While exhibiting absolutely no logic or thinking ability whatsoever, they accuse me of being stupid and declare their intention of never allowing the stench of my ideas to ever darken their door again. And those are the POLITE ones who at least have the common courtesy to tell me why they are departing ( even if emotion doesn't allow them a very polite correspondence ). This is a very Monkey Mind response and I cannot fault folks for it ( I don't think I am as smart as many, and certainly not smarter than most. I just have practiced being able to somewhat tamper down emotional thinking. Not that you could tell by my shrill rants LOL ).
*
The Monkey Mind forms its group reality, be it religious doctrine, political party platforms, most times a toxic combination of the two, cultural mythology or what have you. It cannot see any danger that does not conform to the group norm. Peak Oil is impossible to accept because group consensus is that American Empire is pure and good and just and the Middle Class lifestyle is our reward from Baby Jesus. How could His Chosen Ones lose the very liquid that allows this? Or, they don't even acknowledge that oil is necessary. Rather, the Constitution, or American Exceptionalism or Orange Man is why we are so good and just and proper.
*
Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing with the basic premise. Conservative Americans ( Progs are traitors and whores ) are damn skippy better. I'm just saying that I realize I only think that because I am one, not because of any magical reason. I see the faults, even as I don't care to make excuses. I just observe in order to be able to clearly identify the danger to my group. The Monkey Mind is just what it is. You must realize Monkey knows his own survival is tied into that of his group, so the group is supported regardless. Lizard Brain is only concerned with his own survival, and besides, what good is the meat sack carrying the brain going to do the tribe if it is dead, right? Selfishness to the Lizard is natural and just.
*
Humans need both the Lizard Brain and the Monkey Mind, to survive. But the two are complete opposites, like males and females. They cannot communicate. At all. The Lizard Brain just warned Monkey Mind that it detected a grave danger. Monkey Mind hears some droning in the background and tries to figure out what the heck it was. Like how you tune out as the wife was babbling on about something very important to her, and you were just trying to hear what problem she wanted fixed. The wife was communicating by dolphin chirps and you were trying to translate that into your native dog barks. As it were.
*
So, subconsciously you know there is a danger in the food supply. That is Lizard yelling. But since your Monkey filter is all about society and your place in it and groups and such, you hear “Tribe B threatens my tribe”. Tribe B did absolutely squat or crap all to you or your group. But since Monkey's prism is through Group Think, you look at Tribe B and just know those bastards are up to no good. Your mind must figure out WHAT. It doesn't have any choices but to look and see who threatens your group.
*
You have no information, but your brain seeks patterns, so you notice Tribe B is acting squirrely. Suspicious. By gum, they ARE up to something. Your garden plots are smaller because those bastards are stealing land from you! They violated our trust and property rights! To war! At no time did you realize that your group was going to starve in the future because of present trends. You just had a sense of unease and then discovered the evil Tribe B dudes were plotting against you! Hence, you acted to mitigate danger even when you didn't realize you were doing it. THAT is how the species fights for its survival, before “it” becomes a chronic danger. Preemptive defense.
*
I'm just getting warmed up. And in case you missed it, it is about the coming fight for food, disguised. Yet, I understand some of you have short attention spans and will let the unicorn free if there isn't enough glitter attached. So, I'll cover another topic for a day or so and then resume this article.

  1. You really need to run the return on investment in place of peak oil again. When I finally tumbled to whey you were saying, it became much clearer and made sense!

    1. EROI is a little bit misleading as it implies INVESTMENT, which most folks think of as monetary investment. Our fracking oil is free, printed Federal Reserve funny money ( directly buying the stock ). It isn't about money. It is about energy ( and energy embedded in tools ) and how much is needed to get more energy out of the ground. The Druid Dude said it best. Every extra barrel of oil needed to drill for more oil is one less barrel devoted to something else. Such as fertilizer, heating, paving, buildings, etc. THAT is why our century old infrastructure is falling apart. Not for lack of money but because that upkeep energy is instead going to drill for low net energy fuel.

  2. Re: Guest article. Homemade guns and homemade ammo

    http://bisonprepper.blogspot.com/2018/03/1st-of-2-articles-today-guest-article.html?m=0

    How folks in countries with terrible gun rights get by. Remember, this is your “liberator pistol” and the path to securing something better. The red powder is almost certainly crushed match heads (Recall from the article that this is the easiest homemade powder to produce).

    Also worth mentioning, is that at that time of that article, I was not aware that rifling a barrel was an option, outside of a several thousand dollar machine shop. Apparently it is.

    1. Thank you, for the appropriate explanations and including links. Now, about that rifling. Why? If you have a barrel blank, why don't you just have a rifled barrel?

    2. The Foxfire Book number 5 has a pretty good how to on building barrels and gun parts.It may be mountain hillbilly tech from way back, but heap big better knowledge than a gender studies degree currently offered.Something kinda romantically nostalgic in the ol black powder arts too, so that might baffle the people that need baffling. Ha.I like these leap frog write ups Bison.It's like story continued on page 72 behind the 12 8-tracks for a penny ads in the old TV Guide. You have good stuff to say and print, and the right and talent to do such. Forget them kangaroos saying different. I seem to recall in The Poor Man's James Bond series, Saxon said you could scrape the blue material off the strike anywhere match heads and have some potent chemical for its size. For a time ( after the OK. fed building incident) it was hard to acquire those particular matches and I still suspect they changed the composition, but I don't know. New Coke. ugh

    3. You could Jim. I was just assuming the basics, and only having access to a steel pipe. Theoretically, the “liberator pistol” is all that you would need in order to access the rifle.

      I’ve been giving this topic a lot of thought lately. I’m thinking about mostly making my own guns from now on. Now I know what some of you are thinking. The damn fool will probably just blow his face off. And yes, this is a valid concern :D But I was gifted with common sense. There are few reasons for this decision.

      One is that I have a very bad feeling about the 2nd amendment of the US. Its days are numbered, I do believe. I’m not necessarily saying that outright confiscation, or banned sales are around the corner. But I do strongly believe that UK or Canadian style firearms legislation is.

      And two, is that I can’t believe how expensive guns are these days! $200 to $400+ dollars for a friggin single shot black powder derringer, or a revolver? $500 for a Bond Arms derringer .45LC/.410 shotshell (Which I can’t even get here in Commiefornia, because the .410 model is considered a sawed off shotgun :eyeroll:). I just don’t see that kind of value in a derringer.

      Now being low skilled, it’s going to be a simple affair. Likely only a single shot. I think I’m going to base the pistol off the New Orleans Ace pistol (Percussion). Real simple, and easy to produce, and convert to cartridge.

    4. 4h-I could be wrong, its been about 13 years, but I seem to recall the Foxfire BP rifle was all homemade EXCEPT the store bought barrel.
      *
      12:08-okay, sorry, I inferred an actual barrel, not a improvised barrel such as a steel pipe. Lots to be said for making your own guns.

      Delete
    5. Your looking at the wrong guns. Those particular brands have always been overpriced.
      Ruger lcp.380 can be found for less than 2 bills.

      Delete
    6. The point of BP is to avoid the ammunition bottleneck. Or registration. Not sure I'd go under 9mm.

      Delete
    7. There are nail guns used in carpentry that use caps, essentially rimfire cartridges w/o the bullet, but I think fairly "spicy" since they have to drive big framing nails. I don't think they take any special license to buy, and they come in a variety of sizes up to .380 I think; at least up to .32. If you can cast bullets, these take care of a lot of other concerns for you. Also, they tend to be sealed pretty well against moisture etc because they have to be able to rattle around in tool boxes etc for a while before they might get used.

      Delete
    8. The .380 is called 9mm kurz in german.
      It is just a 9mm short, same as .357/.38.

    9. Thanks for the suggestion 2:23PM. Unfortunately, I’m in Commiefornia, and if it’s not on the Roster of approved firearms, I can’t get it (I checked, and I didn’t see that particular gun). That’s the problem I’m finding. If it is on the Roster, than it’s either too expensive, or too heavy for concealed carry.

      @4hawks. Yes, I also have the poor man’s Jame’s Bond, and do recall that section of the book. I think that the strike anywhere match tips will work for primers, and the red part of the match head will work for powder.

      I more or less just want the knowledge to make my own, in case it ever comes down to this. I would not have the confidence to rely on something that I built, vs manufactured, and would always purchase something if within my ability to do so. I must say though that I do not like the process that you have to go through for the basic right to self defense. Here in Commiefornia, we already very nearly have Canadian style gun laws.

    10. Alex-I priced those at one time during the rimfire shortages and I think they are something like 30 cents each for the small.

      2:09-be that as it may, the 9mm is anemic enough-only having commonality going for it

  3. From the 'They Are Watching' department:

    Today's banner advertisement at the top of this page proudly proclaims "Trump wants to expand offshore drilling, we're suing to stop him".

    Although the advertisement has no obvious mention of food-envy or suspicious neighbors or shrinking garden plots in Rwanda per se, I think this's clearly implied.

    Oh, yeah. I'm all about the subtext.

  4. Since the younger you are, the more group oriented you are, then the Monkey Mind is stronger in the young.

    So middle age and older people would be more open to Lord Bison's ideas because he thinks outside of the box.

    A lot of the people who comment here seem to be older...

  5. Conditioning. What it is, that has to occur, to any pedigree of Individual, irregardless of the programming and dogma that the Individual is nursed or reared up on. There has been too much emphasis upon collegite, familial, cabal, etc fake credential peacock feathering, and not enough of Audie Murphy-earned them bones reputation in their background.

    In time, in Bisonia, unless you have a naughty reputation of kicking in doors and small arms blasting, along with fist and feet melee' cleansing operational successes, all others are really-really small by comparison.

    Without that dog faced respected campfire lore earned bones, one need not consider political, civic, nor executive level leadership.

    Stay Frosty.

  7. From 3 (?) days ago...Imperial Party cheerleaders. Where and when are tryouts? I would make great addition as I bring words of comfort and the joys of fracking fan boy enthusiasm.

    Just a few points of correction to a couple of your older entries.
    Colonial America's lack of E-W road system really not an issue before 1800. Movement by water much more economical, also the separate colonies often in competition with one another and fees/tariffs between colonies (and later states) was big impediment. Trading with Mother England or the Dutch more likely than with neighboring colony. Hint: the Brits encouraged that outlook.

    As for comment about cattle being an after thought...not really. There was very well developed network of cattle droving trails from earliest days of settlement. The rural crossroads taverns were spaced a day's drove from one another. Cattle were moved from the hinterland to ports and cities using those drover ways. The Shenandoah Valley was a very important drove way and wheat production area until War of Southern Independence.
    Each night around tavern the cows were kept in pens hence the designation "Cowpens". Several locales in Colonial America took that moniker.
    In fact, a 1781 tide turning Revolutionary battle took place at Cowpens, S.C. Americans, led by GEN. Daniel Morgan delivered an ass-whoopin' to Brit/Loyalists forces led by Tarelton and his dragoons (watch Mel Gibson movie "The Patroit" to get a taste of war in the South).

    Anyway, coastal and riverine traffic far more important back then....and for Minions with a look to distant future I imagine the same should Jim's Peak Oil bring us to our knees. James Kunstler said, iirc, he chose his relocation to particular village in upstate NY exactly because of an old small hydro power plant on the river. Ease of transport always reckoned high with him.

    I did like your Lizard brain versus Monkey brain breakdown. Very insightful and useful. I'd never quite made that comparison. The dolphin chirping wife versus dog translating husband...very good & true.

  8. Good post. I don't know that Ive ever disagreed with you but some of your heavy analytical articles leave me un-inspired. Don't take that wrong your articles almost rank up to your incredible hair.

    I see many problems in the future but your teachings are spot on. the economy is going down and all we can do is take some bastards with us.

    Listen to Lizard brain. Stock food and ammo deep. send donations to our lord Bison so he can continue to regal us in his wisdom. I'm catching up. Mid 2017 and plan on a sizable donation soon. You deserve it if for nothing else than the entertainment and wisdom.

Unfortunately, no one wants to do anything to help. They stick their heads up further. And there is a line of folks wanting to join them. And please be careful with "sizable". I don't want anyone to take away from last minute preps. Just what you would be okay with if it fell out of your pocket unawares.
