April 2021 Update & Article

 

APRIL 2021 UPDATE & ARTICLE

Going on close to a year now, I do NOT miss the Internet. Other than instructional video's of course. But overall, life in the slower lane is as peaceful and tranquil as is possible in a time of economic and social disintegration. I will NOT be returning to the Internet, either, except in very limited doses. The local library finally reopened, and so I finally have access again to the Internet, but I have zero faith that they will remain open. As goes Federal grants, so goes local services. You might think we will recover, but I emphatically do NOT.

*

But Jim, you stud muffin I yearn to emulate and my wife secretly lusts after, why can't you just use the Internet to earn the extra money until you cannot? Because, everything takes infrastructure. I don't run down to the store to buy CD blanks or envelopes every month to mail my magazine, or to the Post Office for stamps. I buy then in bulk in advance, as we have already had shortages and price increases. I have to invest in physical goods. Your Internet isn't JUST what it costs to connect every month, there is a vulnerable infrastructure behind it.

*

And nothing ever works as it should. It USED to, and if you are old enough you remember when life functioned in accordance to the infrastructure we so dearly purchased a century ago ( from a central bank-which I despise but which was unfortunately needed at one time-to a properly educated workforce ). But nothing works anymore. We can bemoan and belittle, but dysfunctionalism is a sign of collapse, a feature rather than a bug. Just accept it, because it ain't changing. Meaning, everything must be experienced and adjusted and relearned, not just begun as needed.

*

You might have noticed, almost nothing purchased is of adequate quality anymore. No one is trained properly anymore. Again, this is merely a reflection of, proof that we are in collapse. When I was a young idiot, I could write about a theoretical collapse. Now I am writing about a collapse in progress. Thirty years ago, we kicked the can down the road after Color Revolution'ing Russia, using the spoils ( never even a fraction of one percent of the investment in the Cold War were returned to us, but the sad part was that at the time it was still a huge windfall, and looking back, a miracle ) to “recover”.

*

You don't want to believe me that the fracking industry took a big squishy dump and is down for good, that our economy was in trouble two years ago and will not recover this time. You are looking at the replay Fall of 2008, thinking it will lead to a miracle of another can kick. Of course, this is wishful thinking. Yet, if you click your heels together three times and wish for home, you'll return on your glittery unicorn to your middle class Happy Motoring existence. So you keep doing stupid crap like looking for another house to pay for with a mortgage you'll have because your job will never disappear.

*

I'm not going to get into details of the fracking industry or the unemployment numbers. You can subscribe to my CD mailed magazine at barely over a buck an issue for 120 pages ( yes, this is a shameless plug. I want my former blog readers to subscribe to my product. This is a bad thing? You expect to get paid just for showing up to work ) to read more about that. If you cannot see how close we are to the waterfall plunge, nothing I can say is going to change your mind. If you know enough to worry as you've never worried before, I might be able to help.

*

To those NOT worried, you are an idiot but I still love you. To those who have a pulse and two brain cells, I want you to think very hard about junk land. Again. Because too many of you are still paying rent ( a mortgage is still rent, insofar as your vulnerability to losing your shelter come unemployment ). When you pay rent, you are vulnerable to homelessness. I know, a lot of homeless are just drug users or boozers, and are lifestyle choice sufferers. But never romanticize homelessness. A tent is no protection against predators. And without a secure food storage, you have no shelter OR calorie security. The government has the homeless on welfare NOW, but that is ZERO guarantee for the future.

*

Government promises are worth what a cloud of hot air from a liar is worth, absolutely nothing. If you can't touch it, it does not exist as insurance, be that promises of gold from a banker or promises of food from politicians. Likewise, because the Unholy Trinity of the elite consists of the central bank, the government and corporations, the promises of a job are worth the exact same sum, absolutely zero. If you like the feeling of warm moist air blown up your anus, by all means stick around for that. But you cannot take that feeling to any merchant and expect to use it as currency.

*

You already have decades of experience in the lies from employers. Your college degree ain't worth dingus, and if you are a White male you cannot count on employment. And that was BEFORE the Corona Collapse. Even if you were “retrained” in coding, even then you still have no job prospects today. We must have diversity, especially for visas for workers in Silicon Valley. You are racist if you don't give up your employment slot to little brown visitors.

*

Your best bet for future security is NOT to earn more, or move about the country hoping for employment, praying you are the first in line in the convoy of RV's with desperate unemployed suckers all converging on the few jobs open. It is NOT to count on having an Amazon job when you are seventy years old. It is to avoid rent. If you can cash in a IRA and pay off the house, and are comfortable with the property tax, fine. For the rest of you, I'm confused as to why you are still waiting to buy ANY land. Even an RV squat is golden security.

*

Before I'd buy one ounce of gold, I'd buy junk land. What can you do with gold, if the grocery store is closed? What can you do with a nice home, if you've lost your job and cannot pay the mortgage or taxes? Yes, at present you can squat there for a time. That is predicated on government permission, and nothing else, and if you trust the government after the obvious Election Steal, you are a moron ( I'll also be covering, in my magazine, how the election was planned to look exactly like what it was, for reasons other than Red/Blue. Are you SURE you can't afford a $20 external CD data player, and $1.09 plus tip per issue of my magazine? ).

*

Junk land used to go begging for buyers. Over at LandWatch.com they had Under $1k lots in the HUNDREDS of choices. Now? About thirty some odd. E-Bay even still has junk land. You just lost your luxury of choices by waiting so long to buy, as I was long ago advising. But, Jim, junk land SUCKS! Well no friggin crap, Captain Obvious! Of COURSE it sucks. That is why it is so cheap and why it is still for sale. At least for now. What is junk land? It is a legal squat. Nothing more.

*

You want pretty forest views, bubbling brooks, farm land, woodland, pasture land? Well, that is for rich people. Sucks to be you. It never DIDN'T suck to be you, but now you might realize you ain't no damn snowflake. NOW, after all my efforts at enlightenment, you understand you humped yourself by not lowering your expectations. In food, in weapons, in homes. Now your options are severely dwindled. So what? You waited, you get bottom of the barrel. Wait any longer, you get exactly Dingus All. Nothing. Zip. Zero. So shut the hell up and go buy some damn junk land. This is probably your last chance.

*

And guess what? Yes, you might waste your money. Who cares? Insurance is an EXPENSE. It is NOT an investment. If you never move there, you'll at least if nothing else get your money back as the supply shrinks and prices explode upwards. Would that be so surprising? You can barely find silver coins to buy, or wheat, or ammunition ( not as bad as it was, but I'd pay 70cents a round for 223 if I were you, and be thankful it was available. That was SG Ammo. Bulk Ammo has 43cent steel case. I wouldn't wait on ammo, or land, and especially not at all on food. The decline will increase in velocity ). Land will be a commodity folks start throwing inflating money at.

*

Look, I understand you might think you can keep employed, or keep your home, or that the collapse will stay a Severe Decline rather than the end of civilization. I'll admit, as this September will be two years since the Banker Liquidity Crisis, I'm simply amazed we are still functioning as a country. I didn't think we'd hold together so long. But that is NOT proof we will continue to still function. That was just a gift from God to give you enough time to prepare. Don't spit in his face, dithering.

*

It is also proof that you need to keep playing by our Dear Leaders rules. Meaning, buy your own land rather than hoping you won't get harassed by illegally squatting. After the complete collapse, yes, you can live anywhere for the price of a bullet. Before that, you cannot count on the benevolence of others to survive. How did that work out for the seven thousand geriatrics in New York state, at the start of Corona? If you don't think they won't try to kill you ( granted, not directly ), you haven't been paying attention.

*

You know those Jack Booted Thugs we were all spazing out about back in the 90's? If the government is throwing THEM under the bus, what chance do you have of not being screwed? I'm going to repeat my report on the settlement of crack users in Colorado, that area that was written about in the book on RV Homesteading Under $5k ( during the 90's, now I believe out of print for good ). The county Sheriff has No Go areas, where his deputies have been pot shot'ed at. The same with urban ghetto areas. We are already in terminal decline, and here is more proof. So, I guess you COULD illegally squat and keep the law away from you. But is all that bother worth under three grand of junk land insurance?

*

You could easily get killed playing that game. And money will be worthless soon enough. Why not buy land for almost nothing, just in case we see another few years before the complete collapse? Can you guarantee that the cops won't start harassing RV squatters if it makes them money, when they desperately need it? Once the fed money goes, and property tax isn't paid, where else do the cops get funding? If I spent one night in jail, with a big Black buck named Bubba, that would cost MORE than a three grand lot of land ( what is it worth to not get AIDS? ).

*

Right now, you can still find hundreds of lots at Land Watch for under $3k each. Granted, some lots are advertised at that, and are merely click bait for far more expensive properties. Some are just monthly rents. But you'll find that at E-Bay as well. Scammers are everywhere. But, that aside, do you know which state has the most land in that price range? Arkansas. You do NOT have to live in the desert to own junk land. Granted, the lot will be tiny. Who cares? It is legal, it is affordable and it is in the forest.

*

I wouldn't want to live there. There are no jobs and you'll have a good commute to town. Not a In The Desert Hundreds Of Miles To Town Or Water West Texas distances, but perhaps not pedestrian distances. But guess what? It beats living in town, needing to pay rent while unemployed. If you are living in an RV, it beats paying lot rent. You probably won't die there in the winter without electric hook up. So what if you cannot farm. You can't farm renting an apartment.

*

And I think that about covers that. I'll be posting here at least every other month, but I'll shoot for every month, probably the last week of the month ( as long as the library stays open ). And, as usually, here is my information to subscribe to my magazine:

Sample Article

GOV LIES

The wonder isn't that the government lies to us, screws us, yells at us for daring to complain, oh no. The wonder is that we keep falling for the same crap over and over again and then don't take MORE lies into account when planning our futures. The latest lie was Cheap Chinese Manufacturing, or as you all might be more familiar with it, globalism. The deal was ( not that we agreed with it, just that this was the bone they threw us after announcing the latest sexual violation ), we allow all sorts of OtherColors into the country, so that their fellow Little Brown People would then sell us really affordable manufactured goods.

*

Never mind that we only needed affordable goods from elsewhere because we had been screwed on our money and our economy. Most folks first and only exposure to history was that channel they used to have on cable TV ( used to, as I've heard rumblings it is no where close to what it used to be ) that was subtitled The German War History Channel because the footage was from government archives and hence in the public domain-just like the Weather Channel used to be about using free government forecasting data before their mission changed to the Gore Warming Channel.

*

Some weird deluded strange malformed people think the whole world can be explained by math ( although that sounds like Job Security to me ), and if that is so I, like most of my disgruntled fellows, have zero clue about life because I did just enough work in math to get a D-, hence credit for a required class. To think I learned or retained anything is hilarious. That is what history is like to most people. If it isn't a tank battle in Russia, when commies were automatically good instead of evil, they have no clue about history. Which means they don't know Crap from Shinola.

*

Come on over to America, you'll get land! Oops, sorry about killing you off from too much dangerous work and not enough food while you were finishing off your indentured service. Be cannon fodder for this really skeevy royalist elitist asswhipe with wooden teeth, and you'll get land! Oops! Our bad, homey, we kind of screwed you with hyperinflation, which we used as an excuse for federalism disguised as a Constitution, and you sold us that land deed for pennies on the dollar ( that's if we didn't shoot you for “desertion” after your agreed upon term was up or after we refused to pay you so your family starved ).

*

Okay, Southern Dudes, you can have slavery, there it is protected by your new wonderful Constitution, all you have to do is join our Union. Oops, who would have thought you couldn't leave that union when we de facto outlawed slavery. Sorry, but our bought and paid for lawyer is going to proclaim that illegal. You don't mind paying taxes to build that railroad, do you? After all, wave of the future, cheap Eastern coast manufactured goods, no more Donner Parties. Oops! Silly us, we let the railroads screw you on fares. You don't mind, do you? Capitalism, you know.

*

Well, 90% Protestant population, you don't mind if we bring over some Irish Catholics, do you? They are starving, don't you know. Humanitarian mission. Oops, sorry, Paddy, you have to work for even less money now, but look at the bright side as you'll be starving in America rather than Ireland, because we want to free the Darkies and let him compete for your jobs. Oops, sorry Protestant America, but since those Irish worked out so well, here is 30% of your population from Mexico!

*

Well, that Capitalist President didn't work out so well stopping the Depression we started ( like the one we used to justify the Federal Reserve Bank ), so here you are, a communist President. Oops! Sorry about him confiscating all your gold days after his inauguration. You don't mind, right? After all, there isn't any inflation. We promise, it will cure the Depression. OOPS! Holy crap, dudes, who would have thought we'd turn right around and devalue that paper currency 40%! Oh, crap, what's this? Taking your gold didn't work? Well, aren't you a bunch of lazy bastards, refusing to work during this continuing Depression! You can just starve, no welfare for you!

*

Why won't you all follow the Presidents dictates so we can end this Depression? Well, if you're not going to help, there! There's a few thousand dead sailors for you, now join the draft so you can be one of the other half million casualties. Don't blame us boycotting Japan, it is all her fault! And Germany's, somehow. Don't question your betters. The Elite know what is good for you as they went to Yale. If you fight, we'll let you have a Union job. Honest. Have we ever lied to you before?

*

Jesus, dudes! These Union jobs are REALLY cutting into the hooker and blow fund. Can't you work for less? No, well then screw you! Here's some Mexican workers, here's some Black workers and here's some female workers! Now try saving your Unions! Hey, Black Folk, want to earn a lot of money at a Union factory job? Just move to the city! Oops! Sorry about that, we're letting Japan make the cars now. No more jobs for you, and stay in that ghetto where you belong!

*

Oops! What's that wounded and PTSD veterans of the war? You don't want to give up those Union jobs to your enemies? Well, hump you! You wanted too much for your pay. It is your fault for being greedy. Suck it up, AGAIN, buttercup. Weren't you about to retire anyway? OOPS! Sorry about that pension being inflated away. Totally our fault. Wait a second while we completely halt the economy to halve inflation. Awww, much better! Greedy retailers, damn you for charging too much! It will serve them right to just let a few corporations take over that sector. What's that middle class dude? That is your livlihood? Can't you learn to code? Oh, yeah, and Capitalism's Creative Destruction!

*

What's that? Why aren't select industries subjected to those same market forces? Well, you know, national security! And we can't have those Too Big To Fail banks losing any profit! What's that, dude dying of cancer? Well, it's hardly OUR fault we had to test those bombs to make sure we could protect America, now is it? Oh, and you'll be arrested if you try herbal or natural remedies to cure yourself, just a little FYI. Only toxic radiation ( more hair of the dog! ) or Chemotherapy for you! And if you do want a simple operation to remove the tumor, please ignore the fact more people die on the operating table than from drunk driving!

*

Why are so many folks dying on the roads? Well, EVERYONE must get a drivers license, even illegal aliens. How else do we support the Japanese car makers? Oh, and Korean ones also, in case Detroit even thinks about a recovery. Well, it's not OUR fault the local governments zoned all former farmland for suburban development! We didn't have as many war casualties as we expected, we were going on the Soviet model, given how our generals were just as incompetent and used the same tactics. I guess all that war production flood really did trade bullets for bodies. A bit of blowback, enriching that industry. Don't worry, the next war none of our weapons will stop the body count of our men or the enemies. And we'll only charge twenty times what they are worth, when they are working.

*

What's this, war veteran of the Conflict To Secure A Middle East Base Mere Days After The Soviet Union Collapsing? You say anthrax vaccinations are killing you? Unpossible! It can only be burning oil. You know, because we had the exact same thing in polluted cities prior to catalytic converters. And you thought the radioactive fallout killed everyone! What's this, disgruntled service worker who can't find a manufacturing job, and now we've shut down all the stores as well? You are part of the Patriarchy, and Caucasian as well, sorry. Your efforts building the country, and getting screwed for it, are not recognized. Either learn to code, or be a nurse.

*

Oops! What's this? The coding jobs are given to Dot Not Feather Indians and the nursing jobs go to Haitians and Hondurans? How is that OUR fault? Free market, and War Refugees, totally out of our control, sorry. Those Indians? Well, we must placate them so that India can take over manufacturing from China! Yeah, that was the plan, all along! More Mexicans imported with a 50% unemployment rate? Well, you know, Mexican factories, as well!

*

What do you mean, we see 70k a year deaths from the normal flu, and another 30k from driving fatalities and we left the economy running? No, you don't understand, as soon as the number goes over that, it is officially a pandemic! We HAVE to close everything down! Why aren't you coding, if you want a job? We gave you plenty of warning, didn't we? Ingrates! I suppose next you'll want us to stop the Negroes attacking you in the suburbs, right? Oops, sorry! Tax revenues are down from us closing the economy, so the police are short handed!

*

This economic collapse didn't just happen. It started four hundred years ago, when population growth and strip mining resources became the basis of our economy. You know, like every other economy ever. We did nothing different except have a lot better pool of resources to begin with, and in our backyard ( until 1945 ) so the cost of administrating colonies wasn't a factor. That alone, domestic resource glut, would have guaranteed our economic lead at the table over the European powers in the long run. There was really little need to take over half of the globe to do so.

*

Just as the day you are born, you start to die, so too with organizations, countries and empires. The writing has always been on the wall. Some folks just need extra hits over the head with a hammer to get it. Some folks will be sitting on a post-apocalypse sharpened stake, impaled, still not having a clue that growth and riches are just a passing phase. Most folks are far too ignorant, wallowing in their own filth of consciousness, to understand that what they are doing is directly detrimental to their own long term success. We are all, mostly, chimps picking lice off our own ass, wanting them to stay there because they are yummy snacks.

*

The day the US oil production peaked in 1971, the day we all heard the sucking sound of jobs being exported when Clinton was elected, the day the next borrowed hundred billion put us over the threshold of the ability of ever being paid back, the day the immigration bill opening the Turd World was passed, all these were the day our death was announced, if you had been listening. And when the powers that be see the death of their system staring at them ( or, let's face facts, even when all they have ahead of them is growth. ALL the time, in other words ) in the face, their de facto response is to screw everyone or each other over, hard and fast. The government was lying when we were mere colonists, the government and companies were lying before we even formed the Constitution, and the government, corporations and the bankers were lying through the Oil Age and after its demise.

*

Screwing people is just a form of resource extraction, and obviously you cannot screw people over by telling them the truth. You must lie to them. When credit creation inflates a Wall street bubble, you don't say, ah, hey there dudes, the stock market is going to blow. You say, Best Economy Ever ( that is Trumps line, in case any of you Orange Man Fans missed it. I don't deny Trump is good as Anyone But Hillary. But he is just as much A Lying Liar as Obammy, FDR or Lincoln ever was ) just when This Suckers Going Down.

*

I don't even know why I get mad when the media lies. They have lied all my life, all your life and all our grandpappy's lives. They are required to lie or they don't get a free pass to operate from the bankers and government. All these businesses that are getting their business licenses revoked if they don't play along with Corona Death, when a license was only ever supposed to be a tax in reality and a form of consumer protection as an excuse? You don't think the media isn't under similar pressure to conform to the lies?

*

I get peeved at the media, but why did I EVER expect them to not tell lies? Am I mad at myself for believing? No. I'm mad they won't even report events transpiring so that I might read between the lines of lies. They are no longer just Pravda, no longer just propaganda. Now they are the Memory Hole. They have become a news black hole, as nothing is reported. The surface lies don't cover 99% of what events transpired. The nearly fifteen year old economic collapse has killed almost all news, analysis or even data access.

*

Whenever the government, corporations or bankers ( which is why I detest any news from The Federal Reserve or Goldman Saks or Chase or whoever-any forecast or report is Pure D horse apples ) communicate with you, it is almost always a guarandamn-teed Gott Damn lie. And it is a lie because they are fixing to screw you. Or already have and wish to hide that fact. They lie about each other as combat ( say, the focus on molestation by the church, as a part of discrediting religion in general, and to get the Pope 100% behind Political Correctness as a payoff to de-focus ).

*

Why wouldn't they lie to you or about you as profit or control? If you don't assume everything everyone tells you is a lie, you are a sucker. And yes, that probably includes your spouse and your friends. Your kids lied to you all day long, every day for years, and you assume your parenting skills are so friggin awesome you taught them morality so well, they stopped lying to you? You think the love of your significant other is so strong that there are no lies? Of course there are! I'm not saying you can't still unconditionally love the liars, because really, you have to, to get out of bed in the morning and to sleep at night.

*

What I'm saying is that if those who really care about you lie to you as a matter of course, why would you assume those who hate you aren't lying to you not just every day, but every second of every day, no time off for Sunday? Of course they are! That is what chimps do, it is their nature. Every historical fact you've read was a lie ( where do you think I get mine from? I read between the lines, because everything is untrue ), every line in every newspaper. When you weren't lied to, probably that persons analysis was based on many lies ( this is our problem here, I can never guarantee although I try my best to minimize the failings ).

*

Most people might not REALLY be evil, but they are liars and most are retarded. Most don't realize they are patsies and chumps. Those purple haired cat ladies honestly believe the happy horse crap they scream to the sky, both because they were lied to and because they are too stupid to know this. And none of this is a surprise. You know all this. I think the only problem is we just ignore it, accept it as a given, then still fall for the cons because we aren't actively fighting it. Why did you think this apocalypse stuff was going to be easy?

THIS BLOG HAS MOVED


THIS BLOG HAS MOVED
This blog has moved to a ( Very Cheap! ) monthly magazine delivered by the post office. Yes, kids, old school media dropped in your mail box, just like it used to be.
*
I only ask you to pay my cost, not including the equipment. Just the mailing media and postage. $1.08 per issue, but if you are overseas ( any fuzzy foreigner including Canada ) I need $1.78-these will ONLY change as my costs change. I would love it if you added a donation, a tip, a gratuity for my work ( as this is my only retirement income-Social Security is far away if ever ).
*
I'm doing little more than just stringing the same kind of articles you saw here one after another, creating a PDF document, burning it to a unprinted blank CD-ROM and mailing it to you. It is just a months worth of blog articles, mostly the same length and definitely the same tone, sent at the beginning of the month. It might be slightly less in length, as I might take one day off a week or so, but basically the same near 80+ pages.
*
Send money order or check ( you could send cash but I'd be very leery about that if I were you-although I'm not sure what other choice foreigners have ) to:
James M Dakin
181 West Bullion Road, Unit 12
Elko Nevada 89801
*
Please tell me how many issues you want. It does NOT have to be a full years worth. It can be one issue, three, six, whatever. I'll let you know when I've sent the last issue so you can renew. If you do include a gratuity, please specify which amount is for the subscription and which one is my donation.
*
I won't keep your address on file once you no longer subscribe. I will NOT sell my mailing list. If you would care to correspond, I'd love to hear from you. If you can, include a SASE ( self address stamped envelope ). I think I'm going to be running a very thin shoestring budget here as I lose my Internet readers.
*
PLEASE, for the love of all that is good and holy, if you can, please PRINT your name and address. If you don't have a printer or one of those mailing labels, PLEASE write VERY neatly, preferably in block print. I need to be able to read your writing to send you anything in the mail.
*
I'd love to continue having you as a reader, extra paying or not. This is my labor of love. If you must know WHY I'm doing this, going dark, going completely off line, you can read the blog post right before this one ( or, read about it at nauseating detail in the first issue of the magazine ). But I will NEVER stop writing. I just need for you to be patient as I return to a lower tech medium. Stay safe out there, and cheers!

really pulling the plug


REALLY PULLING THE PLUG
I'm really going to pull the plug on the Internet. It started as a pain in the ass to use twenty-three years ago, and it is a bigger pain in the ass now that I've become addicted to it. Please note, I AM STILL GOING TO BE WRITING. I'm just going back to my origins, a snail mail periodical. This blog is going to become a monthly magazine. I'll have to publish it on a CD-ROM. There is no way I can afford paper and its postage. Nor any way I'd get you to buy it. The CD's are going to be expensive enough.
*
I know I'm going to lose a lot of you, even if you want to read what I have to write, just because everything is on those silly Smart Phones now. Even though Big Brother LOVES those location tracking spy devices. Far better you are not inconvenienced by having to buy a $30 garage sale desk top computer that has a CD-ROM player. Look, I hate to lose you, paying reader or not. A writer has no reason to write unless he is read. I just hope I won't lose as much of you as I suspect I'm going to. Or, that some will curse me and abandon me, but come back later anyway once you realize nothing is a suitable substitute.
*
I'm going to charge my cost only. If nothing else, I'll stay within your budget AND not have to collect sales tax for fifty states. I'm guesstimating this will be about $1.70 or thereabouts. The final post to this blog will give you the exact amount. The CD blank itself is about 20cents. The postage $1.20. Envelope about another 27cents. I'll hurry up and buy a dot-matrix printer if I'm flooded with subscriptions, but I suspect that won't be necessary and I'll manual type or write out the addresses for now. Once I get labels, that might be another nickel.
*
I have to go to Wal-Mart and the post office to be sure. Things are a LOT harder without Internet access. I won't say no to any donations on top of the cost of publishing and mailing, of course. I still have to eat. Even if all you do is continue to buy through my blog links here, I'll get a commission. At least for a little longer ( I'll cover that down below ). I'm really no more happy about this than you are. It is a huge pain in the ass, a head rush akin to the decision to give up the pick-up truck and go all bike hauling.
*
This is also not a rash decision. I've been stressing about censorship for many years now. My web site has the clause “may be canceled for any reason by us”, a new development after the company was bought out. Google of course is always fickle. I don't REALLY like supporting Amazon, not after their book burnings ( but you take what you can get ). They were simply LESS evil. And I would have soldiered on if the local Internet hadn't gone spectacularly tits up.
*
The library, even if it had been open, uses the same ISP. Everyone with the same company is reporting problems with Frontier. Who has filed for bankruptcy ( and a minion reports other areas serviced by them are not even taking new customers for broadband ). The writing is on the wall for Internet here. The competition? Unreliable very expensive satellite, or the one competitor who gave off a serious used car salesman vibe. No thanks. No, it is time to throw in the towel. It is time to go Lower Tech.
*
Please don't send me anything by PayPal. I won't have any Internet access. Same for e-mail. It is strictly snail mail now. No more blog ( the blog will stay up, I just cannot access it ). No more e-mail. No more posting PDF's for downloading ( get them while you can at my web site, before that goes dark from lack of renewal ). No more ordering Amazon for me, or watching streaming services. I'm going back primitive.
*
The CD-ROM will have the magazine as PDF file.  I'm thinking at the very least I can easily make the magazine 60 pages, but I imagine it will usually be closer to 100. I am going to enjoy life once again, and won't be staring at a screen all day. More time just to smell the roses and not feel rushed. I thought I could use those mini CD's, the three inch half size ones. They are MUCH cheaper to mail. Alas, I just today found out they were discontinued. I was wondering why so many folks were out or charging double. So, it will just be a regular size CD-ROM. No fancy printing, just a Sharpie marker. I'm going Garage Company/fanzine here.
*
All correspondence will hence forth be by snail mail ( I'll try to keep checking the comments and my e-mail, at least for a little while longer. A week? ). If it's publication related, include a self addressed stamped envelope ( that used to be called a SASE before the Internet almost killed the Post Office )( not necessary for personal correspondence ). If any of you are butt hurt because you just gave me a lot of money, I actually completely understand. I might think of it as Services Rendered, but you might assume it was Paying For Future Services. If this is the case, contact me. Seriously. I will try to make restitution. I don't want anyone feeling I've cheated them. If you donated a lot already, and subscribe, just pay the cost and nothing extra. Only pay for value received is a much better business than Buyer Beware.
*
I would also advise you to NOT send me too much for a subscription. Don't sent a years worth. Will the grid be up in a year? The post office? Office supply stores? Law and order? You can send a month or three or five at a time, and I'll let you know when to send more. I hope I see most of you at this new venue. I apologize for any aggravation. Change blows. But I think I'm getting ahead of a trend here. Being a trail blazer. I think we can all expect my local condition, Internet wise. And, will Amazon even survive much longer? I'm having doubts with their questionable investments in luxury shipping ( and customers becoming unemployed ). Watch for the next post with prices ( I'll find out about foreign postage as well ).
*
ADDENDUM-better than I thought.  $1.08 is my all in cost ( unfortunately, $1.78 for foreign shipping ).  Tomorrow will be the last post, no article, JUST subscription instructions.  Basically, you send the above amount, times however many months you want, plus any donation if wanted, each specified.  Hopefully with your address printed so I can read it.  So, I'm kind of hoping you only click on if you feel you might subscribe, and I'll get some idea of how many folks I'll hear from by the visit numbers ( you can keep commenting here until I disable that feature ).  First issue should be mailed around the first of July.  
*
No hard feelings on those opting out.  It's been more than real, and I love you all and appreciate you more than you think.  I WILL broadcast to the minions until I die, or until all communications cease.  Sorry it cannot be an easier way for you than this.  Best to you all, hope you stay safe.

*
note: thanks for the generous PayPal donation yesterday, B.F.  In light of today's article, would you like a return, or credit towards the postal magazine?  I've been talking of this in the comments, but if you didn't read I understand.  Let me know e-mail if you want to change anything.  Appreciated no matter what.

breaching the wall 3


BREACHING THE WALL 3
Most of us have doused our heads in Vaseline, set our hair on fire and are running around like screaming schoolgirls who had oatmeal with crack cocaine sprinklers on it for breakfast. The Lefties are in charge, the Lefties are in charge! Take a deep breath. Calm. Dude, the Lefties in charge is the least of your worries. We are double dog dry humped because the system is melting down. It doesn't matter who the Captain of the Titanic is, because while he will make plenty of stupid decisions he won't make them for long.
*
You worry about being put on the trains at gunpoint, and I'm telling you there won't be any fuel for those trains. And even if I'm wrong about The End, take this to your Orange Man alter. The last three months, the Lefties were ALREADY in charge. The federal government doesn't give a crap about the Bill Of Rights. They don't care what kind of Leftist crap the governors pull. They don't care if the police kneecap you for walking in the park and they don't care if a Darkie is killed by a cop which causes nationwide riots. They only are allowed to care for one thing, the survival of the Federal Reserve central bank.
*
More effort is going into bloating the stock market and inflating the job numbers than handling the riots. Almost as if, oh, I don't know, we are all on our own. The bubble heads in Washington DC are desperately trying to save their own wealth, doing a piss poor job of it and letting the rest of the country go to Hell in a handbasket. Do you think you are getting leadership from The Donald? He can't even keep Twitter from censoring him. If any Podunk town big enough for a Detective can plant evidence to convict an enemy of the elite there, the federal government could “find” a reason to bust Twitter down. But they don't.
*
There are enough laws on the books that we all, every one of us, commit heinous crimes against the State daily. Get enough agents on anyone and they can find all they need to convict you and throw you into a cell full of AIDS infected weight lifters. If they wanted Hilary, they could have had her ( before she disappeared Epstein, had they wanted to ). If they wanted any of the Leftist governors, they could have taken them down. But the Leftist ARE already free to do as they please. The last four months proved that, long before rioting.
*
That doesn't mean the Lefties are in charge. The Lefties quake in fear, cowering and genuflecting at the hands of their Banker Masters. Just like the Right does. Yes, the Left is getting funding as bribes right now, but they are dependent on those bankers for all their revenue. Because I don't see all that much tax money coming from 50% unemployment. It isn't lack of personal income tax that is going to kill local governments. It is the lack of all those businesses that are goldmines through fees and licenses and sales tax.
*
Strange, isn't it, how online sales taxes were slammed through JUST prior to Beer Virus? Almost like they knew they were going to shut down retail. But increased Amazon orders, and increased Amazon prices, still aren't going to plug the retail revenue hole. Just Happy Motoring alone is down 30%, which is a third cut from states gasoline tax. No, the locals are getting Federal money, and that was instant, a bribe to cover pension shortfalls, as long the governors went Full Retard Lock Down. But how long does that last? My guess is not very. Because as soon as the bigger fish than the individual states need more money, the states funding dries up.
*
And even if the state raised the income tax to 99%, not enough people are working. Aren't we hearing how some folks STILL aren't getting their unemployment checks? All these speeches promising aid are smokescreens, and the money never makes it to the supposed recipients. But none of that matters. All that is important is that the states are on the money tit and do what they are told. By the bankers. Not by the GOP or the Communist Party, by the bankers. And evidently that has a strong leftist flavor. But only because that maximizes discord and panic.
*
Anything to keep the eye off the looting bankers. It does NOT mean the communists are in charge. And it doesn't mean they WILL be in charge. Without funding, what are they going to do? You know how Leftists are-they love money more than corporate suits or bankers love money. Everyone you've ever seen spouting Left nonsense is paid big bucks, wants to redistribute Big Bucks, or is covering up having Big Bucks ( do Bernie Mansions ring a bell? ). Without the wealth, they have no motivation to survive on philosophy alone.
*
Both fascism and socialism both share the feature of a strong well funded ( even if only by printing presses ) centralized state. They are products of the Carbon Fuel Age. To fear them, is to virtue signal that you believe the oil isn't running out. You think the fuel for centralization runs strong. That The Spice still flows. But the issues we have seen for fifty years were precisely because of a falling supply of energy ( China used dirty coal to outclass us in a manufacturing economy-which is embarrassing-but shows what was actually available. And now that the Chinese are much better trained in this engineering stuff, where is their Fast Breeder nuclear power? Exactly. It was a pipe dream all along ).
*
We all point quivering fingers at China-oh, look! Thought Police, welding shut apartment doors. Did you stop to ponder that perhaps the strong central state is failing due to contracting energy, and all failing systems double down on prior behavior as a survival mechanism? The US is no different. We fought a Civil War ( pretending it was save Blacks, when Lincoln clearly stated it was for the preservation of the Union, and spelled out in far more clear words than ever uttered by a lawyer that he could accept slavery if it preserved the Union ) to build a strongly centralized government and Industrialized economy.
*
A strong high tax ( such as FDR's 40% tax on gold ) and spend highly militarized colonial power ( first practiced on Dixie, then our former allies followed by the socialist and communist states ), we ONLY know centralization and high dollar institutions. We try to unleash the LEO Kraken, try to unleash the Dictatorial powers of governors, try to print more money than has ever been printed before. We are trying to pull out ALL the stops to save the system failing under energy contraction. And it is all failing. Any attempt at communism will fail as well ( except on a communal tribal level ).
*
The barbarians might be inside the walls, but the walls burn and they will win a pile of ash. Be focused on your area of operations. That is where the action will be, decentralized fighting for the control of food. Don't fret all the old centralized institutions and who controls them, as they are failing in front of our eyes.

breaching the wall 2


BREACHING THE WALL 2
Let us say you are an empire. Your job is to occupy the world and get rich doing it. But empires are a very capital intensive business. You must invest a lot of treasure into getting treasure, and a lot of treasure into maintaining the treasure stealing infrastructure. Just look at Rome and its expense of occupying Britain, mainly for its tin mines. Look at the US with its very expensive navy, protecting sea lanes so that cargo ships burning tons of oil can ship consumer items of an extremely dubious value to keep its worker drones in the US happy, just to have a stable administrative area to coordinate and supply all those navel vessels.
*
Think about the number of Admirals and Seaman whose only function is to pacify the very few ships and crews who protect those sea lanes. You are building and staffing fleets serving little purpose other than to give all the officers a gladiator arena to fight over the really needed positions. I read how one transcontinental flight burned more calories than all the slaves building the pyramids consumed. Now, think about all the military air transport that takes place, to which the civilian planes are secondary. Think about how many pyramid slaves were used to fly over one Private in the Army, so he could go get slaughtered in a jungle ( as hundreds of other aviation units buzzed about ).
*
NOW, take all those billions to trillions of energy slaves, and think about what they are used for. To provide the Red Shield family with enough gold to transfer all their real wealth to future generations, in safe havens controlled by a government bought and paid for by the family. After THAT cost, a few million square foot mansions are chicken feed, as are the classic masters painting on the walls ( for quick liquidity should they need to Bug Out to other locations ). All the financial activity in the world is used mostly to keep the system working, with a little profit left for the controllers. That system maintenance plus elite paycheck MUST be made with real wealth, not fake paper certificates.
*
Gold is not wealth, per se. Gold is a certificate of trade. Real wealth is energy. Trade can be used for the products of energy, such as food and fuel. Gold is merely the universal mechanism for energy trade. Oil, now, that is energy that can produce ANY other form of energy, or trade certificate. Oil itself, beyond heat on a cold day or transportation fuel, isn't as important as what it can create. Drugs, trade metal, precious metal mining ( VERY energy intensive ), plastics for food preservation, fertilizer and transportation of that food. Armies to protect our elite.
*
Semi automatic shoulder arms are nothing if not the robotization of armies, one man now replacing rank and file formations mass vollying black powder muzzleloaders. Colonies were founded to secure organic nitrates for gunpowder, whereas now colonies are for the oil/carbon fuels which produce the smokeless powder which use much more nitrates. These firearms and armies are nothing more than enforcers of the peace to produce the wealth for the elite. You militiamen providing your own arms and ammunition to protect property which is part of the infrastructure, you are providing FREE security against looters of the elites property. How do you like that?
*
It isn't enough that you have the excess energy needed to profit yourself as an elite. That is the cream skimmed off the top. You must also have enough energy to run all of your infrastructure, like those armies. Like the Make Work jobs to pacify the masses who surround your fragile infrastructure ( made all the more fragile because profits fell with energy availability and you were forced to ring more “efficiencies” out of the system ) which supply those armies and producers of your favorite things like gold. Just look at ONE gold mining region, where I live. You have about thirty thousand ( in the general region ) potential saboteurs. And they AIN'T cheap to pacify.
*
You keep the cost of living high, the city limits small to push up housing costs, to keep even more leeches from showing up. Just one little town everyone headquarters at has a $20 million operating budget. Most workers start at $35k a year ( and this is WITH severe cost cutting taking place, under the most convenient “Corona Virus ). Your operating cost go up at least ten percent a year. You move a ton of rocks to get a fraction of an ounce of gold. Now THAT is infrastructure cost.
*
Multiply THAT by millions of moving parts that must be maintained. Which are failing now, AFTER three months of inactivity locking down the economy. The economy isn't failing because of lock-downs, the economy failed last year and the lock downs are damage control. Triage. Yeah, seriously. Get rid of that monkey molesting turd of a house in the pathway of the marauding masses NOW, before the already very overvalued real estate market tanks. No area of the country will be safe, but some areas will fail, HARD, a lot quicker than others. If you are waiting for the perfectly safe location, it is six feet under. Unless you have gold fillings, of course.
*
WHY did the economy fail? The PetroDollar failed, boys and girls. Suddenly no banker wanted to trade any debt instrument. They wanted cash. But the system IS debt, it isn't money printing per se. But debt failed, because nobody got take on any more. Worse, they couldn't pay the OLD debt. The global economy had slowed down too far. The debt paradigm includes the PetroDollar, American debt for free oil. That failed. It is as simple as that. World trade suffered from the twin problem of energy contraction and consumption contraction, compounded by debt issues. No one wanted Dollars anymore as trade shrunk.
*
Or, more factually, the GROWTH of PetroDollars shrank to the point the system started falling apart. It isn't like there is NO demand, just not enough. Not enough excess energy existed for the system maintenance, and all other sectors failed because of that. We are looking at growth failure causing system failure. As the system cannot maintain itself, the wealth pump fails. Remember, you need system maintenance before you get profit. Even letting maintenance deliberately fail, as has been the case with airline fleets and product innovation or inventory and Internet equipment, you STILL run into zero profit at a certain point.
*
At the point of no profit, the elite move out, allowing the remaining maintenance to catastrophically fail as the lackeys in charge have no idea how to actually RUN the system ( as opposed to shuffling papers and stuffing a suit for public admiration ). Continued tomorrow

breaching the wall


BREACHING THE WALL
Thank you, Pastor Joe, for this. “The barbarians are not AT the wall. They have already breached it” ( or words to that effect ). He wasn't speaking of barbarians as I would, as is my surely paranoid hateful want, but ( I think ) the evil forces of communism and their puppets. More in the 1950's sense of anyone not traditional American. Pastor Joe was a military officer, and they don't last twenty years ( neither do the NCO's, which have lost a lot of my respect in general for the same reason thus ) unless they drink gallons of Kool-Aid of Political Correctness. He doesn't see race.
*
To be fair, he strikes me as a gentlemen, so I don't live in the same world he does. I'm just a jerk, so affronted by the world we live in I hate nearly everybody, no matter how innocent. He is poured from a gentler mold. Anyway, I didn't remember too much else about his video other than that opening line ( and, his caution that for now, you could dump your real estate to a Greater Sucker, but that won't last long ), so anything following are my own thoughts. I don't want you tarring him with the same brush as myself.
*
We all know the US fell long ago. The 80's were our last free decade, but the Universities had been stormed and occupied twenty years prior. The 80's saw a fledgling PC culture try to worm its way in but never succeeded until Clinton ( just as the venomous anti-White culture wasn't official policy until Obammy moved his sperm leaking ass into the White House. It is one thing for an oil industry Intelligence Operatives son to be (s)elected for office, quite another to make the office a complete laughing stock by installing a Muslim Kenyan drug dealing Marxist homosexual ).
*
And by communists, I don't mean in the traditional McCarthy Bolshevik under every bed witch hunt for Soviet agents ( Netflix just released a movie which beat you over the head with the free speech argument, disapproving of the whole affair, using the name recognition of Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston as a propaganda tool. Really, a rather well done film. The message is not only dangerous, however, it is also unintentionally rather hilarious, given today's widespread censorship by the Left ). Commies as in anyone who is an internationalist ( globalism is pro-banker, dumb ass ), politically correct, anti-Bill Of Rights ( ANY infringement of the Amendments negates them, and hence puts you in the Anti camp ).
*
But Jim, what about all the communists who were assassinated-JFK, and MLK, and the leftist crusaders framed ( by the Oh So Professional FBI ) and jailed for life. I don't think of this conflict as left against right. I think of it as Red Shield against the country. The Right wasn't trying to crush the Left in the 60's and 70's. The Military Industrial Complex wasn't fighting for its life ( Cold War spending carries on to this day over in the sandbox ). Factions were played against each other to profit the few. The right was creating martyrs and causes to rally around, all the while the population was fooled into thinking the right was trying to protect them.
*
Just like today, as mental midgets proclaim Trump plays four dimensional chess. I'm sorry, no one can act THAT stupid all of the time. And stop listening to him. Instead, watch him. See what he actually does. The left never had a better friend than Orange Man and all those who support him uncritically. You are still in the left/right paradigm. There is no such divisions. It is all the Bankers Party, the Imperial Party, NOT the Republicans and Democrats. The right has done as much to flood the country with OtherColors and move jobs overseas as the left has. Neither is your friend.
*
The communists, the PC'ers, play the same role now as they did sixty years ago, someone to blame to pacify the Normies, engineered to do the dirty work without the blame. The people behind the throne are all the Green Party. The color of money, not environmentalism. Their job is to loot the store. You are focusing on Tyrone stealing a pair of sweat shop Nikes, as Nike and similar whores like Amazon and Netflix scream that Black Lives Matter, to distract you from Goldman Saks and JP Morgan getting trillions from the Treasury and Federal Reserve. And JP Morgan and Goldman are distractions to Red Shield looting the whole country.
*
Even Rothschild's could be another front to who knows, be they global drug cartels or industrialists or even more shadowy banks. Doctor Evil? Hell, for all we know, for Green Reptilian Overlords ( didn't the UFO guy just get demonitized from YouTube, Hmmmm? ). But Red Shield will do for now as a focus of our ire. Just understand, the barbarians have not breached the walls on their own accord. That occupying army employing unaware stooges naively believing they won't be eaten by the revolution are just foot troops. They ONLY take the form of the left because that scares the people more effectively.
*
Don't mistake me, the elites could give two wet craps if the US is run by jack booted thugs giving fascist salutes, or Internationalist commie thugs proclaiming universal equality. They only want their wealth pump to function properly. Fascism is a TERRIBLE wealth pump. It still allows a profit to go to the managerial class. Isn't that what we have? Is it? Those idiots are paid in their own stocks, which can be paper wealth or traded for those Greenbacks now backed by...anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Yeah, backed by about nothing, anymore.
*
And THAT, my fine feathered minions, is what I'm focusing on. The sudden break of the backing of the US Dollar, which meant that there was suddenly nothing left to loot, which left the stooges in place. The barbarians inside the gates WERE, past tense, the elite looters. But lacking real wealth left to steal, they have decamped in the dark of night and left behind the patsies of the left. We think the left is to blame, but they were just the colonial administrators. Who are now in charge of the rubble left behind. And nothing left to loot means there is no one to save us as the once useful slaves we were. Continued tomorrow

note: on the recent issues with my Internet connection.  At first I thought it could have been our Wi-Fi box.  But after the company did its remote magic and we got new resets and passwords and the like, it still keeps dropping the signal.  Not as bad as it was, or as long, but still enough to tell me the company itself, Frontier ( going through bankruptcy-which I believe a minion pointed out ), is foregoing maintenance as revenue enhancement, or the Internet itself is the culprit.  Still unknown.  Perhaps it is the same with grocery stores, the small towns are being triaged out.  I'm dusting off the old plans with the CD-ROM monthly newsletter by snail mail.  I think.  I'll keep you all posted.
