COVID-19: The Space Ship Problem

Don’t look now, but there are huge things going on that most people are not tying together.  Since it’s the weekend – and you may not feel like going to work tomorrow, let’s do some “intelligent speculating,” shall we? The timing of the COVID outbreak is extremely interesting when taken with a dose of UAP.  … Read More

Self-Check, Spread Data & Some Useful Advise

Two Posts this morning – as my fingers wake up.  This being the first of said duo… No shortage of things to talk about (so we will):  Before we roll up sleeves, though, a number of stops on the morning inspection report of our local conditions.  Some is amusing, others less so.  For example…. Septic … Read More

Prepping for Quarantine

Been a busy week around the old “double-wide in the woods” – getting ready for the Big Shut-In, which seems about an equal proposition, as we see it. As we have hinted-at before, once you have “the basics” covered, there’s not too much else to do except figure out which of your hobbies will have … Read More

Depression Business Plans III

I don’t want you to be a victim of circumstances.  To get there, you need to learn to see the world differently. Mold it to you instead of the other way around. Cast-off the chains of group-think.  Smart School is now in session… We have done a couple of articles on how to set up … Read More

China Supply Problems? Blame Lawyers & Greedsters

Regardless of the happy-talk about how COVID-19 will (do this, or that, or  some other thing), there’s a lessor in here about Lawyers, Lefties, Greedsters, and Cowards that warrants in-depth study.  This being Social Studies Sunday…. Ure hit one of his favorite online suppliers this week, looking for a refill of some shop consumables.  1/16th … Read More

An Afternoon in the Telegraph Office

There’s a great deal to be learned from reading deeply into adventure novels of current and by-gone eras. For one, it’s a way for young people – especially men – to get to know and think like other men. The good, the bad. So, it was a huge loss this week when one of my … Read More

Prepping: Slang Jang and How We’re Losing Our Future

Before today’s light-hearted discussion, please – for your own health – go read “Soybean Oil Causes Genetic Changes In The Brain.”  You’ll know what to do… Sometimes, in fact most of the time I daresay, prepping is more about “What’s between the ears” than anything else. Sure, it’s nice to have 6-million pounds of freeze-dried … Read More

Prepping: Ultra-Make.com & New “Old School” Resources

If you haven’t deduced it by now, Ultra-Make.com is likely the main deliverable nearing the end of my next book “The 100-Year Toaster.”  The book is a critical view of the wrong-headed globalist resource squandering of the past 150-years and what we can do about it. Spoiler alert:  We need to  redenominate.  Because everything together … Read More

Prepping: Kill Your Fear in 2020

I don’t know if this is really a “woo-woo” topic, an extension of what will be on  Peoplenomics tomorrow, where we talk about grassroots dispersed manufacturing (as a disruptive technology)… Or, whether it’s another chapter in my book  Psychocartography. However it arises, the  topic du jour today is  fear. Let’s begin with who we are: Maybe … Read More

Some 2019 restrospective in the first section this morning.  But, if time is short for you, skip down to “Today’s Real News” – a big headline and you can’t miss it. New post around 8:15 with the Housing data, so check back. We’ll serve-up this morning’s “rasher of news and comment” but first, a few … Read More

Prepping: The $40 Plan for 2020

Since we’ve been writing about “UrbanSurvival” long before any of the “Johnny-come-lately’s” on the web (starting in ’98), our views on what’s “adequate prepping” have moderated a bit, over time. Here are the simplest, cheapest, and best ways we can think of to increase your personal preparedness in 2020. Spend $10-bucks a person on bottled … Read More
