Should “Prepping” Become “War Planning”?

by

We’ve been writing about Prepping almost from the beginnings of the Internet. Now, things are changing.  Well in advance of the Y2K “non-event” we were prepping.  I’d even gone so far as to position our “escape pod sailboat” at a safe harbor outside of the Seattle metro area.  In the event something did go wrong, there’d be “no pretending and no do-overs.”

This week, we focus on how the general economics-driven version of “prepping” could evolve as America moves into a more risky period featuring the potential for Global War.  In short, Prepping becomes War Planning.

We have a fair bit of history for guidance, so the exercise is as much about fine-tuning, as anything else.  Still, important to change up as the times evolve.

Which we will get to shortly after a few headlines and a look at our ChartPack.

  1. A rather glum Chum you seem 2 bee this smokey morn..shit be on FIRE G, Fire!

    Was that a burd ? a himars ? or just a F-35 wit stormshadow that hit dam ? Hal T. reporting 2 active duty brits vaporized during Russian hit on warehouse storing stormshadow missiles in the kraine. hmm

    Heard on the bridge of USS GoneInBilnkofEye “What the Fattah was that ?” https://southfront.org/iran-unveils-first-home-grown-hypersonic-missile-fattah/

    Its getting hotter and smokier by the day – as dear leadr “Honorous” Biden bumbles his way thru yet another double cross..drugged out, totally corrupt, spinless SHIT if ever there was one. Cant imagine he will be around much longer, time to cue the kackling hoe – Kam the Man! rutrow

    Need help from the Angal, instead we get Kergal miscreants and blood drinking ‘demons”
    .. leftovers from the orion wars of aggression 300k yrs ago .

    U cant be Sirius? C

    ..now U should ponder meaning – 33/Scorpio

    Why doctor think Brother John an Alien ? Sidney Poitier look like an alien to youse guys & girls ? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  2. Russia and China have new weapons that don’t require nukes. Land is so valuable I doubt there will be multiple cities nuked. I could see someone nuking New York City in the hope that the fall out will land in the ocean. However I could envision a false flag event where the US used small nukes in the four bad boy cities you mentioned in an earlier column. They are non productive problem areas that have been uncontrollable. Just eliminate the problem.

    • While we’re at it, burn all farm land! It causes humans to breed and supports global warming~

      What the actual fuck – are these environmental whackos nuts, or just Irish?

      • Not just the Irish! It seems to be more of a global effort. An article on the trend against farmers. https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-casey-on-how-the-war-on-farmers-could-trigger-a-famine/
        This article touches on Bill Gates, Climate and the USDA which states ” USDA rules, a “farm” is any piece of land that produces over or can produce over $1000 worth of product.”
        How many ‘Farmers’ are on this web site? Didn’t know you were a farmer did ya? Neither did I, but I is!
        Simply put it is a war against “We the people”.
        As my overseas grade school principle used to sing while strolling the halls “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think”.
        Cheers and let Happy Hour begin!

        • “How many ‘Farmers’ are on this web site? Didn’t know you were a farmer did ya? Neither did I, but I is!”

          Is that $1000 before, or after inflation…?

      • they are nuts..
        And to think.. I thought that Californians were the only real nuts in the world It has to be in the water.. oh wait.. they have a water crises there LOL LOL LOL LOL

    • I’m going to start planting pinto beans in all the naturally moist areas of the ranch just for my cattle. Good protein and big-time flatulence promoter.

        • If it is they’ll have to outlaw Bluebonnets and, frankly, I wouldn’t put it past them. At least we know where those effers live!

        • Yup. That’s why synergistic or complimentary organic farmers plant pole beans and squash inside their corn rows. The vines trail up the corn stalks and pump nitrates into the soil, which the corn requires.

          For extra credit, search “three sisters gardening…”

        • Oh I forgot lots of schlitz beer LOL nothing worse than getting the old schlitz shitz LOL LOL

        • Schlitz may be one of the worst beers out there but you have to figure in the nostalgia factor when drinking it, that is barring any subtle changes that have happened over the years. There were a couple of others like Pearl which were the favorites of my previous generations I long for now and then. As a kid we could taste so many more flavors like someone with eyes that could distinguish the entire light spectrum. Now it takes a “tour de force” to make an impression on my taste buds.

        • @Bill

          “Schlitz may be one of the worst beers out there but you have to figure in the nostalgia factor…”

          Schlitz was a “super premium beer” and the top selling beer in the world for over 30 years. THEN in 1967 the founder’s grand kid (or great-grandkid — not sure) changed the formulas for their beers.

          When Stroh’s bought what was left of Schlitz, they changed the formula again, and I suspect Pabst changed it again when THEY acquired the digs & dregs of the “Beer that made Milwaukee Famous…”

          I dunno how many examples there are of companies disregarding this primary Law of Business: “If it works, don’t fuck with it,” but examples a-plenty exist, and Schlitz Beer is a really glaring one. A product or service spends years, sometimes decades, building a reputation and a loyal customer base. Those are based on that particular product or service. When the owner/manufacturer/provider screws with quality or appeal, they lose their base, and once gone, it will NEVER return.

          Butt-wiper is down almost $70bln. If the corporation recovers, I suspect it will be through their other brands. I will be watching to see if Bud Light bucks a two-century trend, but I suspect not, and that the brand is done forever. The real question may be: “Will Bud Light take the other Budweiser, Busch, and Michelob beers down with it…?”

        • I heard a long time ago that they changed beer’s components from, I forget which grain besides hops, to a rice based product due to cost efficiency and speed of brewing just to keep up with the demand. After that is when everything went to heck.

      • don’t forget cabbage peanuts and chickens..
        there is nothing worse than someone that eats peanuts pickled eggs cabbage and beans LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL then take out the window controls on the car and go for a long ride in the desert LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
        Ever had bad gas and knew it.. LOL LOL so while your driving you think to your self.. should I lay this egg in the seat.. or wait till I can fan it out outside.. you look over at your unsuspecting passenger and the thought comes to your mind.. just how many seconds will it take for then to crack the window.. kind of like shotgunning a beer or a bong.. it all rushes at them so they get a good dose of that gas LOL LOL LOL LOL
        I will never and this is my favorite flatuance story.. forget the day I had the real real really bad gas bubbles.. the sinkers.. LOL the one that sink to the floor then rise as it mingles with air.. I was stocking shelves at the grocery store. bottom shelves sitting on a milk crate.. I thought dam it.. it will be around my head a long time.. I don’t want to smell that.. the store was pretty empty the isle was slow.. so I got up went to the end of the isle.. laid that egg.. shook it out.. then went back to work confident that it would be a harmless evaporation..
        while working a young woman a baby in the cart and her husband comes around the corner.. she stops.. grabs the kid puts it up to her nose and takes a great big whiff thinking the kid shit its diaper.. you could hear that audible sniff to.. the puts the baby back in the cart then turns to her husband and starts smacking him all the way down the hall berating him for farting in the store… she said.. I thought I told you never to do that in public.. he is saying all the way down the isle.. but honey it wasn’t me LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
        boy that is a hilarious memory.. I did that to someone in the TS film vault in the tombs of dc.. to LOL he was always doing that to me.. the air exchanger was down he was busy in that hot vault.. took a good five minutes to punch the codes to get in the damned thing to.. LOL LOL so I went in he was busy working I got the material I was to get.. laid that egg then closed the vault door behind me like the gentleman I am LOL LOL LOL I could still hear his muffled cries as I walked away LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL..

        • OMG LOOB… LOL! Ever since my colon resection I eat probiotics daily. Some mornings I gag myself on the throne now with the stink!

        • LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL … I hear ya..
          I had some issues with my bowels and a bunch of other stuff.. omg.. LOL LOL LOL those are my two funniest stories LOL LOL
          a friend has it worse.. when I worked in govt job.. we had a recliner to take naps in.. my boss laid an egg in it.. got up.. and left.. a while later the cat came in.. got up in the chair.. then started clawing at the chair trying to bury it LOL LOL LOL LOL
          I didn’t have a camera if I had had a video camera I would have video taped that one for funniest home videos LOL LOL we thought we would be nice and bought it some cat food soft cat food.. it dragged the can over to the cat box LOL LOL LOL
          now for the guy in the TS vault.. that was proper protocol LOL LOL LOL enter close the door exit close the door.. I was just following protocol LOL LOL

        • You’re close — You need to add beef jerky and dried apricots to the mix — maybe a little honey mustard dipping sauce for the jerky…

          Say, LOOB? I know you mentioned making them, but did you post your recipe for hot dogs, some months ago? Whether you did or not, would you consider posting it on George’s Friday page?

          AFAICT every national/regional processed meat producer has changed their recipe over the past 2-3 years. All I want is a, not terminally unhealthy, frankfurter to put in my Boston baked beans, and I want one which doesn’t taste like they stuffed the casing with extra-fermented sauerkraut or two grams of salt. I would further specify “and which is not Chinese-owned” but Chinese (Smithfield) brands like Nathan’s, Eckrich, and John Morrell have all changed their formula, too.

    • The irony here is that forest fires, and grass fires on prairies, are natural phenomena that were occurring regularly long before humans proliferated. They were/are necessary for many species to thrive and reproduce, and the climate chugged along just fine.
      People should know by now that fire suppression causes much larger, more destructive fires when they do occur….. smart ranchers work with nature by practicing regular controlled burns on their property. Often as not, nearby cities get in trouble with the EPA when the smoke from controlled burns drifts in and sets off the government’s monitors (speaking of wastes of money).
      Also before the spread of humans, grassland ecosystems supported millions of large herbivores – can anyone prove that cattle produce more gas than bison did?
      Facts, of course, are mere inconveniences in the desire to control others.

      • “People should know…”

        But they don’t.

        The fact that fires are necessary to every viable ecosystem is no longer taught, and is not PC, because it’s not something we conceited little humans can control. I doubt undergrad natural resources or forest management kids are taught that there are some species of both flora and fauna which will not breed or reproduce except in the wake of a forest or prairie fire.

    • “Ireland is planning to slaughter 200,000 cows to prevent cow farts from destroying our planet.”

      Sounds to me like Ireland needs to be doing some serious culling of politicians to save Ireland.

    • Get your Bailey’s now, while you still can.

      The 200,000 moo-moos are all dairy cows.

      Once they’re gone, Irish Creme will cease to exist…

      • “In 2019, there were approximately six and a half million cattle in Ireland, kept on more than 100.000 farms.”
        200,000 is 3%.
        “Ireland’s beef is reared on a grass-fed diet, with a 1.1 million beef suckler cow herd kept on just under 80,000 farms.”
        Grass fed good!

  4. I believe there is something about ‘the death of two Popes’ in Stu’s work related to WWIII.

    Pope Benedict is gone, and Pope Francis is to undergo surgery.

    See below, Dr. Walter Longo says, “if the Pope can get through it, he will be fine.”

    If.

    He said Francis should be OK after a few weeks of recovery, but he noted that the aging pope is already frail and not in great shape. “There’s the risk of going through surgery, operating on a fragile individual, but if he can get through it, he will be fine,” he said.

    • JC,

      I’m actually surprised that Stu has not commented on president Macron’s recent implementation of changes to the pension system and lengthening of the work week through the use of dictatorial powers (which are allowed in the French constitution). Still the net result is that many French people seem to think that Macron is a dictator.

      There is a prophecy included in Nostradamus’ Centuries stating the France would have a dictatorship at some point before the collapse into chaos and WWlll. Could be seeing the end of the Fifth French Republic?

    • “I believe there is something about ‘the death of two Popes’ in Stu’s work related to WWIII.”

      I believe you’re right. I can’t remember in which of his essays I read it, nor the quatrain he referenced, but he did…

  5. One thing that has always bothered me about the prospect of a “grid down” situation is that in the total chaos that would follow, who would keep the emergency generators at our 100+ commercial nuclear reactors fueled and running?

    If those things start melting down, just imagine a situation like Chernobyl or Fukushima, but without the major coordinated efforts to mitigate the damage and contain the release of radioactive materials.

    Just something to think about and brighten everyone’s day.

    • I’ve been thinking about this regarding the massive nuke plant in Ukraine that’s been taken over by the Russians. Since someone(probably a western power) destroyed a major dam in Ukraine, such an attack on the nuclear plant is foreseeable. I’d have thought that Russia would shut it down and do its best to cool both the reactor and its fuel pools as much as possible before such an event, regardless of the economic consequences. It’s just too big a risk to leave out there.

      Constructing nuclear plants without using passive failsafe designs is just insane.

  6. The U.S. had a different economic system during the Depression. The people had no methods to bailout themselves out.

    Since 2008 it’s bailout after bailout. The word ‘bailout’ changes to ‘relief’ and people are fooled.

    December 8, 2022:

    “FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Historic Relief to Protect Hard-Earned Pensions of Hundreds of Thousands of Union Workers and Retirees ”

    There’s a lot of psychology in the system.

    I read, “fed two daughters, three sons, and the Grand Parents”

    From that statement I infer that a middle aged person was head of household.

    Today that statement would probably read, “fed two daughter, three sons and their children”.

    The (pension) bailouts moved the head of household. It’s a different world.

  8. Maybe time to look beyond our borders! In George’s comments on hedging I did not see emigration or flight mentioned. Panama and Costa Rica are looking pretty good right now for those who are retired or who can work remotely. Visas that allow in-country work seem problematic almost everywhere, but there are sometimes “critical skill” or investment loopholes.

    Of course, spare parts, medical equipment, and drugs would eventually be a problem even in small neutral countries that are currently self-sufficient in food.

    Emigration is always complicated and becoming part of a new community and (probably) learning a new language are not trivial. But for a few it would be the best way to reduce risk.

    My own risk-reduction strategy is to be in Costa Rica for July and August. It could be longer.

    • “Maybe time to look beyond our borders! In George’s comments on hedging ”

      Phew MarcR… had me going for a moment.. my dyslexia kicks in.. I thought you were talking about Edging LOL LOL LOL LOL.. gotta re read some of this stuff.. My train of thought was maybe that is why the perv is allowing millions to cross the border.. heck had thousands of photos that were so bad the average person would have spent the rest of their lives behind bars over.. LOL LOL

  9. Morning George and a lot to consider over a Happy Hour beverage. Of course some of this coming ‘impact’ depends on where you at at or reside at when the SHTF occurs and what the occurrence is.
    Our location in Costa Rica is rural with multiple types of local farming providing cheese, fruits, meats and veggies. Also chocolate!
    Can anyone feed theirselves or family by their self? Doubtful, so what to prepare for? What common items occur with each scenario?
    Each household should (IMHO) prepare for All of the common items and go from there.
    Will be thinking of all that read this very informative and thought provoking site while sitting on the creek deck this evening sipping a cool brew or what ever.
    Best to all.

    • “Can anyone feed theirselves or family by their self?”

      Of course. We did for hundreds of thousands of years.

      The problem with coming out of a 21st Century society to do it is (Amish and Old Order Mennonites excepted) we have to learn what our great grandparents knew, and both our instruction manuals and our memories are likely not up to the task, without a certain amount of OJT, which the vast majority of us are not likely to get (or even attempt to acquire), before the SHTF.

      It is better if we don’t have to each feed ourselves, but we can do it, or some of us can, and the rest of us will die before their time.

      • 18th and 19th century agriculture added some new-fangled machinery to the farmer’s tools, but for the most part, it was still dependent on draft animals to do the heavy pulling and lifting.
        In a long-term or permanent grid down situation, the masses exiting the unsustainable urban areas descend on rural fly-over land like a plague of black-gun toting locusts. The farmers and their livestock are slaughtered, and what few draft animals that have survived the industrial revolution become largely extinct. After that, we have a long dry slide back to 3500 BC and the pre-city-state era.
        Moral to this amoral story: keep the lights on, the wheels of industry rolling, and the farmers on their green tractors.

      • Yes we did.. the problem goes back to De-regulation of essentials.. sending jobs outside the USA.. it not only left our children at home without an adult presence.. but it took mom out of the house.. before that dad made the living.. mom took care of the family.. grew the garden did the laundry watched the children..and she canned.. at least in the wastelands.. my mom put up so much garden goods.. sauces etc.. Today with mom out working she doesn’t have time to do that.. they are tired.. get home grab a fast food item and then goes off to bed.. no one counts the cup of coffee and doughnut they had at break at the coffee shop.. doing your daily constitution and doing the congressional paper work is even done at work.. average arm pull is three foot.. takes three pads of twelve sheets.. depending on what brand you use.. at work.. you save between a nickle and a quarter a day. a woman that does more congressional paperwork can save between a quarter to seventy five cents a day.. or about a nickle an hour wage increase.. depending on what they pay for the toiletries..
        even my kids commented on how much more things cost when they were doing work at home.. the reason.. they are using their utilities.. and providing their own paper etc..
        so someone that is prepping doesn’t consider the old ways.. they are looking at the fast food ways.. probably have a twelve inch by thirty inch freezer compartment.. a few tv dinners or entrées a small bag of spuds.. etc.. in the wastelands of the country we have violent storms so the average person has two weeks of groceries available.. if things play out the way I see it.. they are not only playing the poison pawn trap.. they are trying to take out the global currencies that are not backed by anything more than an oligarch’s fart.. the countries that we went in stold and raped their lands .. are all joining the Bric’s.. in 2010 china had a container ship that they refused to offload..pretty soon they off loaded it.. but companies around the USA started to be boughten up by foreign countries.. cheap home loans sprouted up.. all with a thirty day clause..
        stop manufacturing.. one walmart I went into a third of the shelves were empty.. today I stopped at a costco and the place was really full.. everything they had plenty of..
        as inflation rises and the value of currencies in the bank deminish.. and people become more and more dependent on social programs to survive.. oh heck read Adolph Hitlers second book seems it is the play book for what is going on..
        they don’t have to fire a shot.. all they have to do is knock the US Dollar, the Pound and the Euro off of the top of the mountain as global currencies.. since most of the countries that are joining them are also the countries were we buy all of our stuff… it won’t take long just make the switch..
        I always thought that if this whole thing is to light up it will either be with Iran or NK.. or maybe both.. since we have done everything we can to destroy both of them.. instead of stopping goods from entering NK.. we should have been sending in relief for them as they hungered.. one look at flipping Cuba the bird two years ago when they asked for help.. now china and russia are in there giving them help the same with many other countries.. its hard to get upset at the one that feeds you.. that to is in adolphs book.. make the people dependent on govt.. then when they want to take what the twenty nine percent have.. no one will argue at all.. go ahead take them away.. Right now.. my estimation is if they had one million dollars in the bank.. two years ago it is now worth about six hundred thousand.. if things keep going the way it is on our journey to zimbabwe it won’t be worth a loaf of bread..
        which one is worse.. since when does doing the right thing depend on a political platform.. I am democrat.. doing the right thing shouldn’t depend on what political platform you are on.. I am ashamed of the democratic party.. what in the hell happened to them anyway.. why didn’t anyone at all raise a fuss when it was all coming down.. why did fox news get in trouble for showing surveilance videos where the capital police was giving tours showing which doors were unlocked and which ones were locked.. through the capital.. why hasn’t anyone brought up the horror that people living in the poorest neighborhoods were targeted by blm and antifa.. no one did the right thing.. no one said a word.. why is the doj opposed to doing their jobs with the laptop or the lines of corruption that are so evident.. and why did the FBI just tell congress to kiss their ass.. they don’t have to do what congress wanted them to do.. the only reason we are hearing it now is all of these jokers want to be re elected to office..
        Of course I probably would be singing a different tune if they tossed a bag or two of money on my porch to LOL LOL

  10. I have been watching the S&P500 over the past few days. It failed to break 4,300 on Monday – 4,299.20.., did the same on Tuesday.., though the futures weren’t really telling, I jumped in [ Options – Puts ] at the close yesterday. The NASDAQ100 is down over 200 – I moved my stops and am just gonna let this one ride a bit., see where it ends up. Already up over 2.2%, so no worries., just time spent, at this moment. I did read where one market guru is predicting that the S&P500 will go to 4,900 by the end of the year. An all time record high – by far. We’ll see…,
    .
    Good post today, George – lots of interesting ‘quotes’ and ‘ideas’ to consider. Thanks.

    • .., and I meant to say. I don’t believe this is sell-off., or even a pull-back, just a consolidation and repositioning ahead of The Fed’s move in a few days.
      .., but – “Stay Frosty!”.., we’ll see.

    Ok George – what amount would you suggest going into your “tip jar” in order to copy the “Focus” portion of today’s Peoplenomics and send to those I think might take it seriously? You earn everyone’s $40 bucks every night you sit down at that un-Godly hour and start pounding the keys.

    • Subscribers are – always – encouraged to send copies of Focus pieces to friends and relatives. What I don’t necessarily want is every Tom Dick and Harriet posting the whole thing on prepping sites. We are very conscious of perception management and no tip expected, unless someone’s going to make actual cash money (or even BT%C lol) off our work.

      • Don’t know of anyone in my mailing list that has a website. They may be a big FB person but I don’t think they can make a dime off of that.

    • I don’t worry about it. I rarely copy any of George’s material, but when I do, I print out however many copies I will distribute (always fewer than six, BTW, because it’s for my kids), attach the URLs for both Peoplenomics and Urban Survival, and pass them to my kids. I do NOT copy his financial stuff or his charts. That stuff is his proprietary brain-work and I treat it as “eyes only” for me, as a subscriber. I figure by printing, his URLs get out a little more, and not many have the initiative to scan a printed page, OCR it, then .zip the scan to distribute it on the Internet. It’s simply SO MUCH EASIER to go to the URL and read for oneself…

  12. When “it” starts, it will more than likely start instantly, or with no — or very, very little — warning. (Zero to a couple of minutes, maybe — if lucky.)

    “Adjust your equipment accordingly.”

    Our most recent ham radio emcomm test here was entitled, “Operation Blue Bolt.”

    – 73 –

    • When “it” starts you’ll be proven correct. The other day’s column was forgotten civilizations.

      If this thing blows it’ll be biblical where only a few survive.

      • Just like I said when I referenced Monkey’s documenting all the survey flights going over the heavily populated areas of our country in particular but many around the World. Monkey has noted the flights are dwindling down now so processing of data is the next step. They want to know where everyone and everything is before the head honchos say “Pull it.”.

  13. George,

    What about left-handed people? Have you done any research?

    Are there any lefties here?

    There was a lot of discrimination against left-handed people in the past. Want a left handed guitar? Good luck. Left handed scissors? Good luck. It’s a little better nowadays, but not that much.

    My parents didn’t understand why I was eating with a fork in my left hand as a child. They kept putting it in my right hand… until they finally gave up.

    Are lefties special, or freaks?

    Jimi Hendrix? Left-handed guitarist playing a right-handed guitar.
    Sandy Koufax? Southpaw, L.A. Dodgers.
    Whitey Ford? Southpaw, N.Y. Yankees

    • I’m a ‘Leftie’. Best friend is a lifelong EEG tech and we have studied brains and consciousness for decades. In Hawaii I have encountered more left-handed people than anywhere… and I found out there is a reason. Our brains are different. Left handed is actually a variant of dyslexia. Our brains have a larger than ‘normal’ bundle of nerve fiber connecting the two halves of the brain. The result is that we have a better ability to utilize both halves of the brain. In extreme, it results in confusion of left-right symmetry… dyslexia. As an example, an engineer friend of mine is the most perfectly ambidextrous person I know. He can sign his signature in script… backwards. AND he can do this with either hand! You have to hold his signature up to a mirror to read it.

      Now why so many of us in Hawaii? Not intending to be racially selective here, but in Hawaii we have a multicultural mix. The half asian, half caucasion people are the smartest ones of all. We call them ‘Hapa’, which means ‘half’. Not a pejorative term here. Simple description of ethnic background. Majority of ‘Hapa’ folks I have met are left handed, and all seem to excel at whatever career they follow. Little known fact among the elites is that the half Asian, half Caucasion folks have the highest IQs and abilities well above ‘average’.

      I am half German-American, and French-Canadian with maybe 5% native american… which is genetic asian. I got lucky in the family genes and apparently got this brain trait. I remember when my mother was teaching me the alphabet at home, preschool. As I printed my letters, I tried it with each hand, and asked Mom which hand I should use. She said use whichever hand feels best to you. I settled on my left hand, and she never tried to change me, bless her. I found that I qualified for Mensa, but never joined.

      • – reason for ameri indians being “#1 target in “alien abductions” the Sinnubun genetics are “clean” , unbroken.

    • My Mom and I both favored our left hands, but were ambidextrous, whereas, I had sibs who were exclusively left-handed and sibs who were exclusively right-handed.

      I have freaked people out by going to a restaurant and eating right-handed for a few minutes, then switching and eating left-handed, then switching again. I derive a sadistic pleasure out of others’ furrowed brows, as they struggle to ferret out the life discontinuity (or “tear in the Matrix”). I shoot a rifle (or crossbow) better right-handed, a longbow or recurve better left-handed, and am dead-balanced with a pistol. I throw a baseball, softball, dart, or knife better, left-handed, but I pitch a football better, right-handed. There’s usually not much difference — kinda like a baseball switch-hitter who bats .310 left and .298 right…

      • FWIW I believe there’s currently a college kid who’s a switch pitcher and carries two gloves to the mound with him…

  16. Re: Future History
    feat. Asimov

    Folks,

    If memory serves, a branch of Asimov’s “Foundation” series evolved a hermaphrodite character as a nod to the future. Today the BBC has an article circulating about an unexpected “virgin birth” crocodile at a zoo in Costa Rica. Now some may say – “that’s a croc”. So be it. However a theory surrounding the mystery is that certain species may exhibit a parthogenesis reproductive process when facing extinction.

    Wouldn’t that be something if the science moved forward in such a direction? It might dawn on the 1% that half the human population had suddenly become redundant. Ptah might be facing a transition into Isis so as to remain relevant. It’s food for thought anyways. In the meantime happy searching for the pot ‘o gold at the end of the rainbow, everyone.

    Let’s join DJ George inviting all his Elton John “Crocodile Rock” fans to turn the dial and reach back to 1953 for those high notes –

  17. The U.S. Treasury is about to release a trillion dollars in new “debt bills”.., and so far, the market likes it. The Ten Year is up 2.3% today.
    – and it appears a lot of Euro-Nations are going to buy huge chunks.
    – With SEC suing everybody., Bitcoin hasn’t reacted very much – down about $260 and holding at $26,440. No one seems very concerned that our government is starting to make its move on crypto’s.

    – Good day.

  21. Folks,

    Hot on the heels of George starting a new website, one of America’s apparently biggest investors has jumped on the bandwagon. The official transcript from yesterday’s WH Cabinet Meeting reflects that on the 10th of 15 mentions of “invest”, Mr. Biden announced his new website named Invest dot Gov.

    The newly-minted site offers taxpayer investors, in already for $470 billion, ample visual map cues of good times getting better. Zooming over Texas reveals a number of multi-billion $ deals along with the corresponding number of jobs being created. Texans don’t look a gift horse in the mouth? Meanwhile, Florida has 1 (One) project of $430 million on the map. It shares a county neighborhood with the Magic Kingdom! Indeed, “it’s a small world after all”, as this new green company subsidiary launches its first foray across the pond directed by a Paris stock exchange-listed parent.

    Speaking of green, stand back as DJ George lights up the Verdi canon with a rousing rendition of the composer’s nod to culture and patriotism: “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves”.

  22. Hey Steve Hollander and all the rest of you up North – how are you coping with the smoke? Dutchsense back on the 2nd showed that the fires in Quebec started all at once while the ones in the central Canadian area started days earlier. Quite a few crazy theories presented there.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKUkZ2oOFF0

    • Hasn’t rained since May 20, so not much gardening. Stay inside and limit outside activity. Only mowed the weeping bed, dry lawn and not watering.
      Honey bees and other pollinators are affected by smoke so expect ag impacts.

    • It’s interesting. There is a bluish-tinged pall, everywhere — looks like a light, early morning fog, except for the tint and the fact it doesn’t “burn off.” I don’t notice any significant drop in air quality.

      George should be getting some of that, tomorrow. You probably won’t.

      The highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s in June, is interesting, also. Before 1000hrs and after 1600hrs, the sun looks like it’s got a stack of #85 (amber) film filters over it. By about 6pm you can probably look directly at it because it appears as if it were substantially eclipsed.

      Still, no big deal. The loss of millions of acres of spruce and pine trees is a lot bigger deal. When the predominantly westerly wind shifts back from the northeast to the west, the smoke’ll all be gone from CONUS within about 48 hours and we’ll put the Canucks back on “ignore…”

  23. “Is there a difference, though between planning for Life in a Prepping Regime, or in a War Regime?”

    Yes, in that in prepping for war, one must assume if the government knows you have supplies, they are likely to appropriate said supplies, and take appropriate steps…

  24. “So, got a self-vulcanizing patch kit, or are those even made, anymore?”

    Yes, they are, and yes, I do. I also have a “master plug kit” for plugging holes in tread. The tire stores don’t like plugs, because a plug can throw a tire out of balance. It is when the hole is big enough to require multiple plugs, that one should de-rim and patch it…

  25. “Mass psychology will be used to shame people into patriotically doing evil – just as it was in Germany.”

    Bear in-mind that less than 7% of Germany’s population had any idea that the death camps existed, or that Germans would do such a thing — Until Patton forced locals to bury the dead and care for the still-living.

    It doesn’t take many people “doing something” to make an “enterprise” successful. Less than 6% of Americans participated in the War of the Revolt against Britain. The non-participants were about evenly split between revolutionaries and Tories. Less than 3% participated in the Russian Revolution.

    This is what makes shitheads like Antifa and crap like “forced trannyism” so dangerous. It’s not what these groups are doing — it is the direction in which they’re pushing society…

  26. “Even small decisions – like whether to have a pet cat or dog – need to be inspected in light of the “two world outcomes” going into play.”

    A cat can be self-sufficient. A dog can not, unless there are other dogs with which to form a hunting pack. The advantage to either (and one advantage to a horse) is dogs and horses can perceive the presence of potential danger a lot better than any human, and a cat will not eat nonviable food.

    • That’s one reason I’ve been battling my wife and grandkid about getting another dog. We have outside feral cats that police the house area for snakes very well but the way the women in my life treat dogs makes me feel sorry for the dogs. When they get tired of them they treat them like plush toys and banish them to the back yard and I’m the only one that they see after that. It’s happened with the last two we had. Dogs can be great alarm systems but, even with a big back yard, they can’t get why they’re confined when all the other dogs in town seem to be running free all the time. They do get out and it’s a bear to get them corraled again. I don’t want any kind of inside animal in the house again, either, as it always gets messier than anyone wants to put up with.

      • The Dachshund is the best all-around inside dog, if you want an alarm. They don’t shed, don’t stink (unless they get wet) and are incredibly loyal, vigilant, and protective. If someone DOES break in, the Doxie will die, because it will defend you until the invader kills it.

        My huskies shed, twice yearly, for a few-week period, which is a PITA, but I live up nort’ and haven’t used an electric blanket in years (I also have 14 pecks of incredibly warm, waterproof fur, that’s going to become yarn that’ll make cashmere jealous, whenever I get around to learning how to use my spinning wheel). My little girl is also one of the most beautiful dogs on the planet. I’ve been offered sex, drugs, and money, just to let someone pet her, and she always scores free food, from any drive-up, anywhere — sometimes for the both of us. The husky’s drawback is they’ve minds of their own, and they are very stubborn. She’s a good girl though, and has traveled over 300,000 miles with me…

        I’ve a brother, who had a wife, who sounds like yours WRT dogs. He fixed the problem by getting a toy poodle, and taking it with him everywhere he went. This is the bigbro who worked as a GM engineer. He worked in an actual office. The dog went to work with him. SWMBO never had the chance to punt the dog, because she was never around it…

        • I’d give anything to have a Husky, Malamute or something along those lines but down here in Texas it’s pure torture for them. They shed twice a year? Can their hair/fur, whatever, be cut short? I guess that wouldn’t stop the shedding, though.

          I grew up with a long haired German Shepherd that we all absolutely adored. She eventually succumbed to the pelvic glandular and bone problems associated with that breed but I think I used her for a blanket, too, more than once. We also had the problem where she teamed up with the toy terrier she shared the house with and they’d get out at night and kill the neighbor’s livestock. The terrier was the ringleader of the two.

          My sister-in-law has had several dachshunds down to the current one. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a big yard and the poor thing really never gets any exercise and has a calloused belly where it drags everywhere. I’m fairly ashamed of the things Humanity had done to the wolf lineage over time. I know these dogs were probably bred for going after burrowing animals but that never really happens any more so they’re bred for companionship. I still have more compassion for the dogs than I do people unless people can really incorporate the animal into the family from start to finish and never discard them to the back yard.

        • @Bill

          “I’d give anything to have a Husky, Malamute or something along those lines but down here in Texas it’s pure torture for them.”

          It’s not nearly as bad as we lead ourselves to believe. That magnificent coat which keeps them warm at -60 also keeps them cool at +120. There are also “adjustments” one can make. For instance, my girl and I spent a lot of time on the road, before COVID. To make things more pleasant I tore the headliner out of my Expedition and fitted R-11 bubblepack against the roof, before replacing the headliner, and when I’m traveling with my girl, she can choose to lie on a “cold mat,” should she desire (she never does. She believes her place is either standing, with her feet on the console and “navigating” the road ahead, or hanging her head out the window…)

          Siberian and Alaskan huskies, and Malamutes, are unique dogs. They are the only breeds that can drink ice water without it hurting them (and the only breeds that should be allowed to). I’ve seen both Siberians and Malamutes “dig” the water in a dish, before drinking (they’re digging the ice off. I’ve seen dogs that’ve never seen a frozen patch of water do this, so somehow, it’s in their breeding.) They do not overheat unless they’re worked hard in the summer heat — unless they’re shaved. Shaving a snow dog and then exposing it to the heat you get from West Texas to the Mojave will kill it within hours. They don’t necessarily need to run fast, but they need to trot or run a couple miles a day. A shaved snow dog can never be allowed outside.
          ============

          Doxies don’t have to drag the ground. You can’t feed a dachshund cheap food (you should never feed cheap food to any dog but with doxies it’s especially important to control their diet.) The dachshund is a creature that’s “two dogs long and a half a dog high.” It has lungs that are about 4x as large as they need to be, its legs will “fold up” alongside its body, to where the dog can belly-crawl, and its tail is super-strong. “Dachshund” means “badger dog” and the comical little wiener-dog was purpose-bred to go to ground, into the den of one of the pound-for-pound fiercest animals on the planet, and kill it. A standard Dachshund is nearly as big as a small basset and despite its sawed-off legs, has been used in Ureup to hunt deer for 50 years.

          I don’t know whether the rule applies to other dogs, but you can drag a half-dead doxie that’s missing large parts of its face into the show ring, and the judge is not allowed, per AKC rules, to knock any judging points off for battle scars or battle damage (“battle scars or disfigurement, honorably earned” I believe is the way they put it.) Wiener-dogs are fierce little mofos…

          ” I still have more compassion for the dogs than I do people”

          As do I. People can make choices — dogs can’t.

  27. “We doubt there would be as many Amish in Oklahoma, were downwind modeling available when they chose where to settle.”

    Not just in the Lancaster area, but scattered all over Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, especially where fertile land and inland lakes are frequent features of the landscape. I knew about the ones in Ohio and (especially) Indiana, but the number scattered through the middle of the LP and all through the UP of Michigan surprised me. I could think of no better neighbor than an Amish family. They can build you a barn in two days and cook grub like you wouldn’t believe. In return, you can keep the marauding zombies from breeding with their daughters or stealing their livestock…

  28. “From our liberal lawyers marketing hate file: 2022 The Year in Hate and Extremism Comes to Main Street (splcenter.org). Hate is a monetization.”

    Yeah… About that.

    SPLC is a communist, Anti-American, hate group which, IMO should NEVER be used or cited, except as a barometer, because any group or individual they identify as a “hate group” is one which is almost certainly Pro-American and actually hates communism.
