A comment on Gab about the unaffordability of happiness today inspired my reply below it. The big four expenses that contribute the most to personal happiness are housing, education, healthcare, and transportation. If you can afford those, family formation becomes more than a pipe dream. All four have gotten more unaffordable since the 1970s. This is what’s driving the working and middle class revolts against the system, despite stock market gains and econometric assurances that everything’s peachy keen once adjusted for inflation. As a nation, we’ve traded big ticket affordability for cheap gadgets. We will learn soon enough that the trade-off came with a huge hidden cost. —————- Housing: bigger is not necessarily better, fixers are good investments, renting often […]

An occasional problem on The Easter Egg Chicken Ranch is the egg eating hen. When one breaks open an egg in the nest and discovers interesting goo inside, she may never lose that interest. It is a high-order problem as there is no way I know of to figure out who the culprit is and remove the problem from the flock. This ugliness cropped up recently with a new batch of hens coming on line. My flock now stands at 2 great, peaceful, compatible roosters and 18 hens who know which rooster is the leader of her personal flock with no jostling or squabbling over position in the grand scheme of things. Ah, but how did I outsmart the egg […]
By compatriot, on February 27th, 2020 Understanding LaVoy Finicum’s Death and the Management of BLM Land by permission from Ammo.com When one talks about the Bundy Family, the first thing that springs to mind is the standoff in Nevada in 2014. However, perhaps even more important is the standoff and occupation at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Indeed, the two events are often conflated because Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy, the man who stood up to the federal government over “grazing fees” on Bureau of Land Management land. The occupation was a highlight for both the militia and the sovereign citizen movement as well as proponents of states’ rights. The main argument from those occupying the land is that the federal government is mandated by law to turn over […]

Progress Report 25 February 2020 Dear Agenda 21 Associate, We premiered UNSUSTAINABLE: The UN’s Agenda for World Domination – Part I on Friday, 07 February 2020 and since its release about 300 people a day are watching the movie.

Trump announced to the world, and The Deep State superstars in particular that “We have it all” – referring to their corruption, collusion, satanic rituals, pedophilia, murders, election fraud, racketeering and so on. The NSA that I hate for illegally collecting and permanently storing data on everyone from everywhere about everything turned against its creators and joined the team figureheaded by Trump. So we think, but we have waited three long years for the perp-walks. Meanwhile the criminal elites get bolder, crazier, more destructive and shrill every day. It seems that undoing 100 years of corrupting the District of Criminals and everything it touches might be an Augean Stables scaled task. Q tells us to Trust The Plan. That’s all […]

I have been saving graphics with information relating to vaccine use, statistical analyses, research and powerful quotations on the subject. This is an easily understood overview of a topic that must be comprehended by a lot of people real soon. Share any of these you wish, as widely as you can.

In the United States, the number of mass shootings continues to climb. In Lebanon, Iraq, Hong Kong, and Chile, demonstrators fill the streets for weeks or months on end. In France, that cradle of disorder, the yellow vests have gone quiet for now, but probably not for long. What is going on? And what, if anything, does it have to do with Fourth Generation war? To address the latter question, we need to remember that Fourth Generation war is rooted in a crisis of legitimacy of the state. As people shift their primary loyalty away from the state to a wide variety of other things, the state loses its monopoly on war and on social organization. And as […]

My ultimate test is what works for me. Without prior experience I rely on recommendations, reviews and research. In the case of my dietary supplements I experiment, personally perceive results, then stick with what works on my body. I continually question my selection, wondering if each one of them continue to be best for me, most economical, necessary or warranted. The products in the marketplace are constantly changing as is my body and use thereof. Through a number of additions, deletions and brand changes, I am somewhat confident in my choices. Fourteen years ago the surgeon who cleaned up a torn knee meniscus for me explained that what remained was so thin I was within two years of begging […]

Presumably you too are hearing, reading and learning that regarding China, it is not business as usual. Whether it is natural, man-made, under-reported, over-reported, engineered, hyped-up, or any other combination, the second and third order effects are very real and will very soon be felt HARD! Black Swan Events The term was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a finance professor, writer, and former Wall Street trader. Taleb wrote about the idea of a black swan event in a 2007 book prior to the events of the 2008 financial crisis. Taleb argued that because black swan events are impossible to predict due to their extreme rarity yet have catastrophic consequences, it is important for people to always assume a black swan […]

My wife is an egg junkie. She MUST HAVE eggs in every breakfast – lots of them. She picked up a dozen store-bought factory farmed eggs because my girls weren’t keeping up during a cold snap. The visual differences are screamingly obvious. Factory yolks are runny, watery while ours are stiff and full-bodied. I confess to a lack of interest in taste testing, though from incidental/accidental experience the flavor goes from zero to sixty; just kind-of there to EGG flavored. No thanks. Dog food. Poor dogs. Not counting investment in facility, labor, bedding and other details that go into The Easter Egg Chicken Ranch, the NON-GMO, truly natural feed costs run my eggs over $4 per dozen. Chickens don’t […]

Straight out of the box, The Woodpile Report hits a homerun out of the state. This is excellent advice for the possibility of the threatened pandemic. Throughout his post he touches on the latest rage in mass fear mongering several times. Each one is worth a good look. It really does not make a lot of difference whether the flu is as awful as some reports have it or that reports are overblown as others claim. The second and third order effects will be a big deal. We are already into quarantines exceeding half-a-billion people, states, countries, ports… global shipping is plummeting; all forms of production are shutting down before our eyes… the world-wide supply chain is about to hiccup […]

Accepting and Living with the Death of the United States By Aaron Clarey I just finished reading, and enjoying this book. He is a very good writer with balanced modesty and excellent insights into our cultural and economic decline. The swelling number of socialists, parasites and plain old goofballs will succeed in destroying our free country. Choosing to quit carrying the burden they represent is the best solution to the insanity. This immediately brings to mind the massive Atlas Shrugged 1957 novel by Ayn Rand. Aaron’s is much more accessible. He is guilty of accepting the definition of our government as “a democracy”. This common mistake is a reality in its operation, but not the facts of our Constitution.
