Pardon me, but the headlines out this morning are close to absolute proof that the Biden-Harris coup is the War Party. How else do you account for Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US-supplied longer range missiles for deeper strikes inside Russia?
To keep the record clear – because there’s a huge press on to rewrite history – the U.S. spent about $6-billion to throw out the legally and legitimately elected government of Ukraine in 2014. Neocons – who change parties about as often as homeless change clothes – have been angling for War with Russia for over a decade now.
Look: I’m a loyal – salute the flag, thank you for your service, and all that – guy. But when comes to telling Ukraine they can basically go “weapons free” against an adversary with nukes, it’s time for Congress to nut-up and put the brakes on this.
We are very clear on the why behind all this:
- The European Union has run out of real growth. And “taking Russia” – ripe with natural resources, has been their plan since 2010. Remember when an EU sot was mouthing “A European Union stretching from Portugal to Vladivostok“? Well, these megalomaniacal pricks didn’t bother consulting with Russia about their plan. Russia got pissed and figured which way the wind was going to blow. It did and it has.
- As an EU wannabe, the U.S. Installed government of Ukraine began to piss off Russia by messing with southeast Ukraine. Limiting trade, turning off the water…that kind of thing.
- In response, Russia said in 2022, “Enough is enough. We are not going to let the predominately Russian speakers in the region go down before the abuses of Kyiv.“
But there’s a more important “thing” going on in background. It relates to the U.S. policies here on the home front, as well.
It’s the specter of Zero Growth.
Let me back up, a bit.
The Global No Growth Problem
Maybe no one has explained this to you before. Growth is the crack and currency of Nationhood. If you want to rock, you gotta grow.
Europe ain’t growing, the U.S. isn’t, and places that are (Taiwan, which will be “on the block” next month) have done so through an unstoppable Quest for Excellence. Remember that stuff?
See, the High Road to the Future involves getting really smart (think Musk) and doing radically innovative things (again, Musk) and changing us into the foundation from which Space becomes a real deal.
The LOW Road? Well, the standard of living comes down. As it does, your population gets pissed. We all saw Slow’s boy doing “deals” with Ukraine – all going back to Obama times. Then while talking about cutting services to Americans, Biden-Harris was pissing money into the winds of eastern Europe.
Now, when the SOL (standard of living, though shit outta luck fits) comes down, sleazy governments (Ours, Europe’s EU, Canada, etc.) claim to “Solve” the equation by bringing in hordes of under-education, quite a few criminal, and desperate people.
Sure, Paris gets a few riots and things got so bad in Sweden lately that they are closing down immigration. Oh, and the Trump Close-the-Border plank is what got him the Oval back. Bujt the mainstream media is hiding reality with stories like this one blaming Islamophobia for Amsterdam riots. Go figure.
Still, in the short-term the Open Borders (which we have labeled the Synthetic Growth Plan – SynGro for short) has a declining payoff over time.
If you go back 20-years, Europe had borders. Now (except Sweden) not so much. As the borders opened, people flooded in (just like in America). In came those humble masses yearning to be free. 3-million walked into the US in 2023.
And that created demand. Massive hiring for Border Patrol, unlimited dough for “border surveillance” and all the engineering and manufacturing that goes with Border Tech.
But once it’s all in the field, your economy becomes (pardon this) fucked.
See, not only does the growth curve reverse on you, but you’ve also brought in ideologies that are in direct competition with the government you thought you were in control of! (Dumb shit moves all around.)
So in Europe, for example, there’s a dominant Middle East religion that has infiltrated and is quickly subsuming the countries once known as Europe (and Englad). While here in America, Open Border idiocy has resulted in what? (Hint drug gangs taking over whole subdivisions (TX) and apartment complexes (CO), just as a for-instance.
Nuclear Tuesday?
We reported (via a linked article) last week that Ukraine was working on obtaining nukes. We think if Ukraine uses a nuke – or even if their Biden approved extension of warfare deeper into Russia takes place – that Russia will respond with a nuke.
What will follow – as soon as Russia acquiesces to this “squeeze play” the neocons have going – is that Israel will then feel free to use nukes against Iran. And once we are there, the whole Armageddon vision roles into sight.
Until next month, that is. Because all president Xi has to do is wait for weather and for the U.S. to find itself up to its ass with an internal (smuggled in) army of saboteurs, who are likely to target the very tech industries (think Phoenix) (and our age wrecked infrastructure – and Taiwan will be an easy move. We are fortunate that Super Typhoon Pepito: Damage, recovery, relief efforts in the Philippines. Once the weather settles down in the WestPac, China and North Korea will be ready to rumble.
Oh, and that kills trade with China and most of Asia. In our models, we will be lucky (in the former USA) to hang onto Alaska (nods toward Ft. Rich and Elmendorf which are the lilly pads used to jump into Asia) and Hawaii which we already almost lost in WW II.
We can almost script out (I’ve written some fiction, right?) how the ‘cons will try to force Joe Biden out with an Article 25 and you’ll be saying President Harris before New Years.
A little shrill? Well, yeah. Let’s all hold hands and do some Kumbaya time. WWIII: PUTIN DECLARED ‘WE WILL USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST MASS MISSILE/DRONE ATTACKS AGAINST RUSSIA’ – Tsarizm
As always, our Peoplenomics.com subscribers have had a long “heads up” on this because it all falls out of Syn-Gro and what happens when the growth spree from that becomes a hard and owing debt that will be paid. They may refer back to this branch into Future beginning with Peoplenomics Issue 762B published April 30, 2016. But in that article – and again here today – I am telling you Truth as I see it:
“It is the opinion of Research that there may be a method available for global economies to cyclically induce programs of artificial expansion and contraction that can work past the traditional zero growth threshold, below which capitalism begins to implode.”
But there’s also a path into global war. Breaking things and killing people tills the soil of industry. Ukraine going long range is like children playing with matches in a hay loft. They have no concept of how wrong things can go.
(God, I hope I’m wrong…but I seldom am.)
Then There’s the Middle East
Where Israel’s hard line on Hezbollah is becoming a problem.
See, by putting pressure on Hezzbollah in south Lebanon, Israel has driven Lebanon to see “protection” from Iran. And Iran’s making sure to keep Hezbollah in the game: Larijani delivers new Iranian message to Beirut: An agreement, but not without Hezbollah.
Our bottom line for this Monday is Welding Googles are on yellow alert for Kyiv in Europe and around Tehran in the Middle East. G.A. Stewart’s “surprise attack” on Israel comes (see Worms half dead…) possibly before year-end. We assume you’ve read his most recent (“”) post.
Further Futurizing
Beyond all this (grim, ends the world) stuff, the rest of the week is semi-predictable.
With little in the way of actual news, we will likely see either a “buy the rumor sell the news” set up for tomorrow’s Housing report, or its polar opposite. But after that, the rest of the week takes a chill pill because of a really weak news flow.
So we have to look for “other stuff” to keep things interesting. Other than Biden making one of the worst presidential decisions ever in our view?

Around the Ranch: Turkey Day Checklists
Our consigliere will be here in precisely a week. It’s a 17-hour drive, plus or minus a pee stop.
Dinner first night will be rare roast beef sandwiches on fresh French rolls with tomato slices and a bit of onion. Chicken noodle soup and a Shiner Bock.
Take out Chinese on Tuesday. Not sure about Wednesday. Except that’s when the turkey will go in the defrost cycle in the turkey roaster.
Figure we’ll get to the prime rib a week from Sunday.
He’s bringing to highlight to this year’s Calorie Week: a fine bottle of Scotch, one in a market bet. And a high-end Asian rice. I’ve known about such things for years – how can you grow up on predominantly Asian Beacon Hill in Seattle and not know? Elaine’s not as familiar, though, so she’ll enjoy it. Might get some filets and cut them down into oyer sauce beef and velvet them a bit in addition to and overnight marinade.
He’s getting his FAA TRUST certificate this week – so we will be able to do a lot of ham radio (drone-lifted antenna) work. May have time to fire up the old Hallicrafters SR-400 Cyclone which has been sitting waiting for attention. Always another radio project.
Beyond that, the practical. Which may include another deck project, or putting a 55″ TV up on the shop ceiling with one of those small Win11 computers. Toss in a wireless mouse and kybd and I can look at things like .PDFs of plans while standing at the table saw. (I’m trying to find a wireless microscope, too, bcause that could be useful at the bench. Besides, I never follow plans….)
After not having lucid dreams her whole life, Elaine had one this weekend that was a doozy. Woke us and asked me “George, how did we get home last night?”
What’s interesting is that we hadn’t gone anywhere, but off into the Dream Realms of course. But based on her descriptions, she was probably in the area I call Arrival City. She said it’s really strange because it’s like being in two worlds and living two lives (one while awake, the other when asleep).
Next objective for her will be to look for lessons and learnings in the dreams because that’s where the real fun work is. The mind boggling stuff.
In semi-snoozing mode this weekend, I had a strange experience: Saw a complex electronics schematic. Don’t know if that was from helping a ham out in California troubleshooting a once-drown GSB-100 back to life, or whether it’s something to “bring over” from Dream realms. Guess you never know till you know on things like that…

““surprise attack” on Israel”
Israel is smashing everything in the neighborhood. Retaliation won’t be a surprise but to sell enlistment/commitment it will be sold as a surprise.
Look to the Wounded Warrior commercials highlighting 911, which seemed to be a surprise. The WW characters always indicate, “911 happened and I ran right to the recruiting center.”
“Iran is pulling a Tet Offensive on poor Israel, go sign the line…” They’ll do it too.
Over the weekend I did a Google search asking about the 120 y/o man found in an Indian cave. The Google A.I. overview was nice enough to tell me the story was misinformation. The man is believed to be 110 y/o. Google had to butt in.
Twilight Zone – “The Old Man in the Cave”
In a sparsely populated town in 1974, ten years after a nuclear war has devastated the US, the townspeople have discovered a supply of canned food. However, they are waiting for Mr. Goldsmith, the town’s leader, to return with a message from the mysterious and unseen “old man in the cave” who will tell them whether the food is contaminated with radiation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Man_in_the_Cave
Unless food is contaminated before canning, it will be safe, regardless of what the Twilight Zone episode opined.
Google hasn’t fact cheeked the December stimulus rumors yet.
“Fact Check: US Stimulus $2000 Checks 2024 This $2000 update for the stimulus checks is totally speculation. This is not reliable for December. We can’t confirm this $2000 Stimulus payment as the IRS does not issue any release for this payment. This $2000 Stimulus payment just became the buzz over the US.”

Ah yes, Software is eating the world LOL.
If you take 2 sets of building blocks and make a tower out of one set and, scatter the other set of blocks on the floor … and ask someone, “Which is easier, to build a tower or to knock the tower down?” They will tell you, “knock the tower down.”
It’s easy because it takes less power to push the tower over. It takes more power to build a tower.
What we have had, are a lot of weak people in power, using the powers given them to knock towers over. Flexing muscle in this way is like “Showboating” is in boxing. And that doesn’t turn out well for the Rat, as they’re called. Eventually, karma kicks in and they get humbled.
Got a lot of offended victims out there. And you know, it takes a victim to make a victim. Cycles over the years creating attention whores. Been “trending” that weak-ass bullshit, has. Long time.
Yeah George, dropping bombs is a whole lot easier than sitting at a table discussing peace in a polite diplomatic manner, takes too much power for folks that are otherwise powerless, offended victims. It’s really quite pathetic. They’d rather stand with the guy in a dress who wants to go in a woman’s bathroom, than to resolve global tensions.
No matter how you look at it, what we are observing needs to stop. Now.
Just MHO
Great analogy.
Tooth Decay…
“There’s nothing mysterious about it, He’s not working at all. He’s playing. Or else He’s forgotten all about us. That’s the kind of God you people talk about, a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?”

Got Blockchain.
i mentioned Elon was going to message me. i talk to him once and a while. he did and it was a video of a Rocket taking off from Doge Norway with the booster having a safe return.
today he posted an image of the star ship going to mars. launch is tommorrow. past the moon.
no i know there is no geographical place called Doge Norway.
and he didnt say buy Doge coin, but he (being the richest man in the world), having a super busy schedule, took the time to inbox me about an interesting video.
so i said fuck it and dropped $750 cash on doge coin.
beacause the last time i talked to Elon, i asked him, “Say when ya going to burn half them doge coins?” because i know he has the capability to burn half of the lot. he was given that by its creator. he has had tjat ability for some time. he replied with that video 4 months later which yesterday.
now im certainly not giving trading advise. you are grown ass adults and are completely responcible for any financial decissions you make.
im just sharing about a pleasant conversation i had with the owner of X, Tesla and Space X.
met him back stage at the eagles concert, a few years back. and road up 5 floors in an elevator with him. just him and me. chatting about twitter, good music and being a couple boys.
oh look a Big Bald Eagle just flew over me as i was writting this.
think im gonna go take a nice nap, then start doing some stuff on my new laptop.

feat: “Dial of Destiny”, 2023
Andy,
Thanks for hitting one from Home Plate Center; you are a top cell batting Mariner! I just received a message via encrypted app. She wants to go out tomorrow night to an Asian dining establishment. I was going to suggest Jollibees but thought better of it.
You’re possibly aware that yesterday evening Hollywood’s massive box office flop “Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny” was broadcast. I was left perplexed when Indy was dialed into the Siege of Syracuse in 212 bc. A pictured axe-wielding Roman solder failed to dispatch at that juncture the arguably most famous mathematician of all time who history books say perished in such a manner. It seemed like a Mandela Effect moment. Next thing you know, everything’s hunky-dory in the future 1969.
Let’s break away to DJ George for a happy soundbite from the era! Here’s a Pink Floyd hit for the night owls recorded at Abbey Road using Phrygian mode in November, 1968 –
“Careful with That Axe, Eugene”.
Today could be another 911 with it being 18th November the 11 month equals 1+8=9 +11 = 911.
Huuummm just another day… maybe… maybe not!
George,
After 26 months (740+ days)of 3 month Treasury minus Ten Year Note Yield inversion, the delta has narrowed to about minus .05- .06% with a probable correction to the positive within the next 1-2 trading days. In the post NAFTA American service economy, inversions occurred June to Dec 2000 (6 months), July 2006 to July 2007 (13 months), and May to Sept 2019 (5 months) with respective initial recessions in Mar 2001 lasting 6 months, Jan 2008 lasting 18 months, and February 2020 lasting ? (curtailed by the payout from the Mar 2020 CARES ACT). The 2y minus 10y inversion in 1929 lasted 700 days and corrected with the 29 crash. The recessions in 2001, 2008-9, and 2020 were offset by increased deficit to GDP governmental spending. Given the Freedom Caucus primary agenda, the narrow house republican majority, and the new Musk DOGE, it is unlikely the recession will be met with increased government deficit spending. This will be likely be a replay of the Herbert Hoover era.
The question I have to ask is “Are any of you really better off than you were 10 or even 15 years ago”. I am about the same, although real estate hyperinflation makes me look a lot better on paper. In terms of actual possessions, my savings have beat inflation a hair, my house and car are paid for, and I am largely out of debt. But that was true 15 years ago.
The place I am really ahead is on routine expenses for comms and property taxes, which are much better now, and where I am massively behind is on property (including auto) insurance. Electricity garbage and water are all going up possibly a little slower than inflation. Taxable income is somewhat less, but reduced expenses for telecommute more than compensates. Tax-sheltered income has improved. Not looking forward to the retirement income hit.
Right now is a good time to downsize, if you can get a favorable balance-sheet opportunity. Remember that downsizing is for the benefit of the balance sheet, and to cut expense outflows, not to stroke the ego.
(“Are any of you really better off than you were 10 or even 15 years ago”.)
that’s a good question if your referring to numbers on a sheet of paper or a computer screen then NO.. it was payday to payday then its still pay day to pay day.. its more challenging.. and next year appears to be the nightmare from hell ..
but the blessings..I was just gifted an Amish sour dough starter.. so fresh home baked bread is coming tomorrow.. made beet pickles yesterday.. and half of a lamp was done.. ( the hardest part besides drinking the beer in the cans.. I am not a big drinker so it took a week ) I still have to make effectual oil for the daughters Xmas cookie jamboree and the two bottles of creme de-mint
ya all have very merry christmas!
once im up and running. i relized i can do my website from sunny beach anywhere in the world. i could even sit in front of the pyramids of Egypt or in the vatican square and write.
i like that kind of freedom.

According to ABC News this morning – Trump has confirmed his intent to declare a national emergency and then use the military in his mass deportation plans.
– Questions abound from this article. One is – where is he going to deport all these millions of “illegal immigrants” to? Mexico has plainly stated that they will not allow deportation flights to land in their country. So.., just march them to the border and force ’em back across the fence ? In which they will turn right around and try to cross right back in. Meaning that the military will have to bolster the ICE and Border agents along the demarcation line between the U.S. and Mexico. That is a constant, on-going, repetitive deportation cycle. Until it turns into massive violence.
– I don’t see how this going to work. No country in South America wants their own people back.
They will be armed and sent to Ukraine for the pedovores’ “boots ontheground” prediction fulfillment.
Personally think we should send em to the promised land to go fight for Ure masters.
dLynn: Again you are looking two steps ahead, i.e. seeing the consequences that are unintended (I hope). So many times even well intended consequences end up biting us in the behind e.g. the war on drugs, foreign aid initiatives to reduce infant mortality, trying to export democracy to places where it is very unlikely to take root.
I would rather have seen today’s episode of Urban Survival presented as a new chapter in the fictional “Directorate 153” saga; As presented, it is all too plausible. Got to go check out my “go bag.”
Staying two steps ahead of the opposition is how I won most of my life’s games.
I am usually five to six moves ahead when playing chess.
.., and I have found that sometimes solving the problem at hand., can create even bigger problems down the road.
You can place only so much C4 before something, eventually, goes wrong. And it looks to me like Trump may be on that path.
Reminds me of the Mariel Boatlift but many thousands of times worse. Hell no the southern hemi will not want them back and the migrants will not for the most part go peaceably either. Once they are collected and detained then the real shit starts. My time spent in that abortion in Florida was the primary reason for me not to re-enlist. I thought the Viet Nam was screwed up. Nope. The sad part is we allowed this to be brought on ourselves. This time it’s a fight for survival.
Stay safe and Pray.
We want em back, and are looking forward to getting many able bodied Workers back as possible. US Govt incentives ($$$) to Belize to “naturalize” more immigrants/families living here already, how I got Residency, undocumented”, while at same time pedovore admin encourages MILLIONS to simply Walk across OPEN southern borders…MILLIONS.
2 OPPOSITE Programs run congruently is perfect example of BEING Fucking Clueless. Senile ole pedovore cant even remember last time he took a BITE out of a Baby…oh wait that was Halloween in hose garden.
For those of you who don’t have a current passport, it is time to get one. The only way that a mass deportation scheme will work is for there to be checkpoints at all commercial or officious desks, so that no one buys, sells or gets anything without officious ID. Sound familiar ? I’m thinking that a passport card in a neck wallet sounds like a good back-up at a hostile domestic checkpoint. No such thing as a hostile domestic checkpoint you say ? You haven’t been through a TSA checkpoint recently. Just wait until restaurants, medical facilities, box stores, gas stations, grocery stores and banks become like airports.
Having dealt with gang-stalking for years, being forced to pony up ID to every delusional sub-minimum wage vigilante clerk looking to be a hero leaves me somewhat mortified. Cash not card, please.
n_: I have seen the future, and it is Panama. In 2023 I made road trips between Panama City and David (2 checkpoints) and also Panama City into Darien (3 checkpoints). The latter: Passports, registration, and “Why are you traveling here?”
FWIW, the last time I went through the Orlando airport, the wait time for unspecial people was 5 minutes while the Global Entry/Precheck line was 8 minutes, but I have waited as long as 30 minutes outbound and 45 minutes in immigration lines (before I got Global Entry) inbound. Interesting to see what will happen with checkpoints when Musk wields his axe.
By all means, get a passport and pay for whatever special status you qualify for.
They say the Nexus Card wait time is now 12 to 18 months, so if you want one get the process started NOW.
For Nexus you will need an in person interview with the Canadian equivalent of DHS/Immigration – Mexico doesn’t require one though the Nexus Card works for Mexico too. Have no idea why Canada requires an in person interview and Mexico does not, but bureaucracies make strange decisions at times.
If using a vehicle to cross into Canada and want to use the Nexus lane EVERYIONE in the vehicle MUST have a Nexus card … and there is something about the vehicle itself needing to be registered if you don’t want to stop at all. I never checked into that issue.
Side note for int’l travelers in/out USA. Ure Boarding Pass will have TSA-Pre printed on top left corner of boarding pass. If you are in the program, double check this is printed on boarding pass BEFORE you leave ticket/check in counter.
There is no recourse once you leave check in, and you will be forced thru the “cattle shoots, into TSA hellzone”.
All TSA checkpoints ARE DESIGNED to induce maximum Stress and Pressure. Treated worse than Livestock, by low IQ knuckledraggers who couldntget job anywhere else, cept as a zionazi stooge in employ of US govmint, FU!
You WILL BE treated as fucking criminal until cleared thru TSA, and We are paying for this BULLSHIT with us tax dollars -thx to duel citizen SCUMBAGS frm lil satanic motherfucker bushie g regime.
Yes, we see that, but what are your REAL feelings?
“where is he going to deport all these millions of “illegal immigrants” to?”
He will send them back from whence they came.
We divvy out “foreign aid” to damn’ near every country on Earth, This is a bribe, to allow us to keep our noses in other people’s [governmental] affairs. However, it is still money — between hundreds of millions and tens of billions every year, from which a large portion is siphoned off as honorariums and retirement stipends for certain principals in those governments in which we’re reserving the right to meddle.
No takee back illegals, no getee mansion on French Riviera…
(“Trump has confirmed his intent to declare a national emergency and then use the military in his mass deportation plans.”)
hmm..oh yeah call them home from the what eight war fronts they are on..lol lol
Unlike the mgt of DHS (which doesn’t understand the concept of Law apparently) the .mil may actually get something done is our view of it…
Yeah – “they” have gotten soooooo much done in last 20 years…hahahahahahahahahah

In june when they took off for the summer.. the USA was in one of the worst precarious positions in american history. a mountain of evidence against the brand and looking at WW3 they didn’t stop the seige at the borders.. they didn’t even consider their own families safety they just went off on summer vacation.. LOL.. LOL LOL LOL its all about the federal holidays and their business model…. and the hardest work ever looking pretty and doing the pagaent walk .. At the plant.. there was a guy everyone talked about how hard of a worker he was.. needed something done.. he would tap his clip board and say dam I wish I could.. after twelve years.. we were at the local hangout for a cold drink and I asked.. just was does so in so do.. everyone thought.. they said oh he tracks down orders.. ok which order did he track down.. everyone was deep in thought.. then everyone started to laugh.. the hardest worker ever didn’t do a thing but carry a dam clip board around.. no one could remember a day that he actually did any work whatsoever…. that is our congress.. they can show you a shit ton of laws and crap give you an eloquent speech.. but they don’t read them.. when rand paul tried to get through the read the bills act.. they laughed him off of the floor….. they will give you a bunch of crap in a speech then table whatever they bring up until the next election year..

George Carlin says it best..
The biggest question is.. Will Putin and Xi have patience enough to wait.. It is hard when the US sends out the long range things.. and the both of them have citizens to worry about.. their own infrastructure. What if the people against trump and keep making attempts at taking him out of the picture be successful…Or will they make a statement or have they had enough and just decide we are done and let this escalate to WW3.. And If that happens.. would members of congress finally think it is serious enough to show up for work and do something.. time will tell..it sure doesn’t look good…
Passengers.. one great movie with a great message as well..
it is one of my new found favorites…

Take a look at the closing picture from the APEC conference meeting in Peru last week for the most important countries in the Asia /Pacific region.
(Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting)
The most important countries in that Asia Pacific region for those who live is clearly indicated by looking at the picture (the woman in the front is the President of Peru, the host country).

.., and there’s Biden.., delegated to the back row – looking like a dork waving to someone in the audience.
– I will be so glad when he is off the international stage.
My grand daughter heads to Peru in January.. going on tour of one of the old archeological digs .. I’m thinking of giving her a go pro so she can wear it while they take the tour..she knows what I’d like to see..
GREAT IDEA.
Get the one that stabilizes the pictures so if she straps it on so she can walk around it won’t make you dizzy when you watch it later.
They make both a chest harness for it and also a head strap harness for it. For males I would say use the chest harness … more stable picture later since one doesn’t twist their torso as much as their head, females might prefer the head stap system for obvious reasons.
Seen some great travel videos on YouTube that were filmed by GoPros with the chest harness set up … very good.
There were comments made earlier about barter-&-trade:
Just a little warning if we do enter the “Era of Barter” [depression].., be very careful who you tell that you have thirty pounds of coffee.., or 15 pounds of salt.., or – whatever. There are a lot people that just can’t keep their mouths shut and could blabber your good intentioned stock-pile to the wrong person. You could end up with a small group of uninvited and unwelcomed house guests cleaning out your pantry.
Yeah – I know.., “doom-n-gloom talk”.., but in desperate times, desperate people do ‘very’ desperate things., especially if it means feeding their hungry families.
Try and keep your stash a secret – from everyone. This is one area where “bragging rights” could cost you.
dLynn- I was thinking the same thing. Advertise you have excess and the have-nothings will claim it when the freebies run dry.
And then there is redistribution from the “hoarders”. Texas has a law on the books which classifies government confiscation of private property in an emergency as looting. The bureaucracy will attempt an end run by classifying frugal savers as hoarders to be officiously looted. This means that before things get too ugly, you better have offsite caches set up. Of course, I haven’t done anything like that in the land of plenty, but having the material ready is probably something to start doing now. I am thinking in terms of fabricating caches, but not stocking until it becomes necessary.
And a happy Holiday to you Andy. Don’t forget to set something aside for leaner times, if nothing else but keeping a pantry stocked with canned food and rotating. When I was on the road more, my pantry was plastic totes I would store wherever I could; come to think of it, it still is.
Trust me they know..
No need for putting shit aside Loobsters – the “dude” apparently responsible for everything and provides everything..easy peasy lemon squeezy..all youse gotta do is sit, mediate and pray for an hour or so a day and viola – Riches baby!
No Personal responsibility involved whatsoever . Just sit back and pray…bwahahahaahah
I was just glancing at some headlines and reading shit …
Biden might be thinking that if we go to war, (which would constitute a national emergency) it would make it difficult to simultaneously hunt down immigrants and deport them.
Trump is using the term, “national emergency” about immigrants.
I hate when catchy phrases come out. Specially the negative ones. You know how that goes.
“The European Union has run out of real growth. And “taking Russia” – ripe with natural resources, has been their plan since 2010. Remember when an EU sot was mouthing “A European Union stretching from Portugal to Vladivostok“? Well, these megalomaniacal pricks didn’t bother consulting with Russia about their plan. Russia got pissed and figured which way the wind was going to blow. It did and it has.”
They could have had this when Russia asked to join NATO so many years ago. To your point George one facet is about the plundering of other’s resources.
https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-putin-says-discussed-joining-nato-with-clinton/28526757.html
I thought the party of Chaos was the Party of Peace. Russian as part of NATO would be one step closer to one world order. Why didn’t they [DS] accept?
(“I thought the party of Chaos was the Party of Peace. Russian as part of NATO would be one step closer to one world order. Why didn’t they [DS] accept?”)
Silly boy.. Its the business model….

Lindsey Graham was the one to confirm why we even could give a hoot about Ukraine.. the most corrupt nation on the planet..
https://youtu.be/YS1s8GN77h0?si=uZrBPJ6uJQB-jNrO
the FIAT currencies are in trouble.. they need the raw resources to devalue currencies in freefall.. acquisition of Ukraine and defeat of Russia brings into formation the one world order with only China standing in the way..
I believe that’s why China and Russia have been bust getting support from all the countries we have marched in destroying their way of life by signing their own mutual aid agreements..
No Worries comrade Loodatude,
Pooterz ALWAYS bluffs .
That is is literally his entire brilliant 5D strategy-bluff, and do nothing. Why should nato fear anything from their old asset in Moscow ?-RS
Its all bullscheisse, as the stoopid moron once again thinkz his western “friends” will save him in the end..didnt work out so well for Miloshovik in Yugo, did it ? g- enius, real g-enius.
Democracy in Action??
It is clear that those saying its about democracy neglect saying Trump won in a landslide.
Democracy worked!
But the outcome was not to their liking so now its war against the public.
Ironically, they formed an organization called “Democracy Forward” with its President and CEO Skye Perryman.
To get their way they have, “the united legal frontline with 280+ organizations in the fight for people and democracy.”
They’re very media savvy.
Last Friday on PBS’s Almanac, Monday on WCCO morning radio and now in the (Mpls.) Sunday StarTribune newspaper all had one-sided presentations and articles promoting the effort.
They said they have 800 lawyers at the ready.
Basically they use taxpayer dollars to take to court any state, local or federal attempt to correct our open borders practices.
Probably George Soros and Zuckerman et al are funders. Just a guess.
No doubt, they have or soon will have actual cases prepared such that at the moment an attempt is made, it will be challenged in court, no doubt an immediate injunction.
In other words, they cannot get their way at the polls or normal laws, so they will tie the entire immigration industry in knots making it totally a wreck. At your expense and the Nation’s loss.
What do they do?
“Democracy Forward provides legal representation and expert counsel to people and communities who make up the very fabric of American democracy — free of charge.” (Ahhh., taxpayer funded!)
Here’s what they say.
News & Updates
Democracy 2025, resourced by Democracy Forward, includes a growing roster of 280+ legal, expert, and advocacy organizations and 800+ individuals representing millions of people and communities across the country. Members include litigators, strategists, advocates, academics and policy experts, and faith leaders who are prepared to challenge expected governmental actions that will harm people, communities, and our democracy. The actions the groups are prepared to respond to include efforts to purge and target our nation’s civil service, roll back health care access, harm immigrant communities, undermine labor protections, and dismantle core functions of the U.S. government.
Members of the coalition have built a multimillion-dollar war chest across organizations to support Democracy 2025 members taking legal action, representing people and communities pro bono, and creating resources for the broad pro-democracy community.

I was surprised to the National Audubon Society and The Wilderness Society.
Expected to see the Sierra Club and there it was. It’s open borders, unlimited U.S. population growth.
The ACLU is big one. As is the low life Southern Poverty Law Center.
They are linked at the hip with an organization they created, “Democracy 2025”.
“… is the strategic hub to protect people and their rights should the Trump-Vance administration seek to unlawfully strip away freedoms and prosperity.”

We will counter the Trump administration’s harms in court
The sheer number of harmful efforts that came from the early days of the first Trump administration were not sufficiently countered with pro-democracy legal actions. And today, the threat of this second Trump administration to democracy and freedom is even greater, due to the support that coalitions of far-right legal and policy organizations have provided Trump’s agenda, the shifts that Trump was able to make to the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the rise of far-right populism domestically and throughout the global landscape.
Still, litigation remains an essential tool to counter harmful, illegal, anti-democratc actions from the Trump-Vance administration. We formed Democracy 2025 to develop legal theories and strategies that can be applied quickly and strategically, as soon as necessary, to increase our power and yield better results.
montana
conservatives in montana don’t vote for more power,; we vote for freedom, We spend our time, energy and money strengthening our family and going our business. research will reveal, (to those that desire to Know) that, government and politicians are a necessary evil and Must be kept on a short leash

Worth noting: In American politics, “forward,” “democracy,” and “open” are all tells for the hand of Soros.
Annoying…
They don’t want to fix anything or make things better. Their goal is to preserve and enlarge the neocommunist power base within the U.S. Their rallying cry is “women’s and reproductive rights.” Their boss is Skye Perryman, who’s a manufactured personality – 42yo Baylor grad & Truman Scholar, been desperately seeking publicity for the past 16 years. There are three actual blurbs about her over the entire Internet — repeated hundreds, maybe thousands of times in different places (hence, my calling her “manufactured.”) She has a serious hard-on for Project 2025 and Democracy Forward is one of the principal entities which tried to link it to the Trump campaign.
ALL of the “nature” organizations are radical leftist. Most of the denominational religious organizations are radical leftist, as are nearly all trades and laborers’ unions. Even those that start out as purely altruistic organizations, eventually become neocommunist bureaucracies, as their drive toward perpetuation and relevancy forces them to centralize and agglomerate power from within those they control, then expand their realm for the sole purpose of becoming even more powerful.
George, I came across research articles on Google about low dose Nicotine and improvement in inflammation in RA. A couple of articles also mentioned a reduction in Alzhimers and viruses.
El, the term you want to focus on is “micro-dosing” – For example, many days, I will micro-dose a bit of ginseng and some delta 8. It doesn’t take much of some things to make a very noticeable difference. In medicine this is the MED – fort for minimum effective dose.
Now, when I am under doctor’s, dentist’s and whoever’s care, I will take the “full load as issued.” For the supplements, many people WAY overdo those. You only need to get levels up to (often) 2-4 times the RDA (don’t start me on how screwy those numbers are!) to be really well nurished for optimum performance.
Microdosing of ginseng (I uses gummies for the d8 and the GS because it’s easier to make quarters – less messy than reloading capsules) gives lots of energy without the blood sugar whallop that goes with a good espresso, lol
notched 1 off the bucket list, bought and now own shuffleboard table. Have wanted 1 long time.

I have sat and visited with an old retired guy in my town that makes shuffleboards from old bowling alley lanes
Thursday nights at The Flying Pig bar in Placencia, Belize !

Drinks on the BCN..
My dad had a Canadian Tire franchise in Port Credit, ON for just over a year in the ’70’s…
I worked there for awhile…
…glad I became a pilot!
Wife wants that stackable strawberry planter pot for Xmas, thanks for the suggestions!
Courtesy of a three year study on :”Seniors Health”
The first half of the article was all psycho-mumbo-gumbo – but it did get interesting.., one point was fascinating.
– Senior lived longer and healthier with fewer friends.
– I am pretty sure that doesn’t mean go out and shoot couple to lower the number.., but it is an interesting ‘find’.
– Some may be a bad influence.., or too many is stressful ?? Don’t know. But too many friends as you get older is “unhealthy”.
“See, the High Road to the Future involves getting really smart (think Musk) and doing radically innovative things (again, Musk) and changing us into the foundation from which Space becomes a real deal.”
Seriously? I’ve been preaching this at you for 15 years, and it took Musk for you to finally see that the future of mankind lies in the stars…?
“I’ve been preaching this at you for 15 years, and it took Musk for you to finally see that the future of mankind lies in the stars…”
But until mankind manages to rein in the warmongers and learn to live peacefully together, the intergalactic aliens will keep us firmly planted on this planet (or destroyed).
“If you go back 20-years, Europe had borders. Now (except Sweden) not so much. ”
Don’t dis Viktor Orban. Hungary has a border and is the only country in the Urepeein interior in which an Arab invasion is not a problem. This is why our MSM refer to him as an “autocrat” — because he refused to participate in the open borders travesty (and to a lesser extent, because when Vichy and Soros tried to “Maidan” him, he won 60% of the vote, and because his is the sole dissenting voice for dealing the EU and NATO into the fracas in Ukraine, in an EU which requires unanimity.)
The shit in Sweden didn’t just start. I’ve been raising hell about it for 25 years. Shoot, LOOB and I have both been drawing attention here to the Malmo/Stockholm ridiculousness since before Obama was elected. Sweden didn’t start to take notice until one of the Moderates in the Riksdag had his granddaughter gangraped (Sweden is SO fucked that if you are female and between the ages of 1 and 200, and a POC [with or without his 20 closest friends] puts his dick inside you, if you complain, the authorities arrest YOU for “cultural insensitivity” and commission of a hate crime – both felonies — they don’t arrest the attackers, because “they haven’t acclimated to the Swedish systems of society and justice,” and it wouldn’t be “fair…”)
There is a lesson to be learned here:
Until a gallows is actually used on a member of the bourgeois, the bastards who believe themselves our betters, will never take notice…
G. Washington was like all the other Brit army officers, until he got publicly outed in a land grant deal by his own men, and vowed never to dishonor himself that way again. People can change, but it is rare amongst the privileged.
My friend that delivers groceries .. when sent to those areas the store sends along protectors. a woman alone by their culture is free game..
its the same here in the USA to.. my daughter was beat up by eleven refugees while heading to a dental clinic.. with the government staff all watching.. when she asked them to intervene she bot a half hour speech telling her it was her fault that she should accept their cultural differences..
then refused to see her.. I took her to my dentist after I found out..
That reminds me. I’m currently working on a much-improved shoulder holster. It should fit comfortably with most types of bras…
“While here in America, Open Border idiocy has resulted in what? (Hint drug gangs taking over whole subdivisions (TX) and apartment complexes (CO), just as a for-instance.”
And a Chicago Mayor and Illinois Governor pledging to defend all illegal aliens, including cartel and gang members, against ICE, the USBP and Marshal’s Service, and President Trump himself, to prevent their apprehension and/or deportation.
