Globalists are burying the USA-The "Middle-Class Massacre”

The coming resource wars: What can the individual do now?

The current global powers — the United States, China and Russia — are making up plans and adding to their armies for future use that will have none of the political dogma that was a part of the past 100 years. It will be about survival — securing supplies. Fresh water is already a growing global concern; and without plentiful water, food stocks will draw down.

The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to around 8 billion today. And even though the growth rate declined from around 2 percent per year 50 years ago to under 1.0 percent per year — it is now estimated that it will take 40 years for the world's population to increase by another 50 percent — we will still have some 9 billion people by 2037. That is another billion people added over the next 15 years.

As this growth multiplies upon itself, the finite resources of the Earth are stretched so far that the last war fought by humankind will be over the same things the first war was fought over: water, shelter and food.

Real Clear World put these numbers in context: "The 4 billion people presently surviving on the equivalent of $5 a day or less won't be content to live at subsistence level for the rest of their lives. Lifting them up will take more — much more — of everything, as the average person living in the industrialized world today consumes or uses 40,000 pounds each year of metals, from aluminum to zinc, and more than 70 elements in between."

I have spoken with agronomists who say that in order to support population increases, the world will have to quadruple its agriculture production and increase its energy output by a factor of eight.

Some 160 years after the Industrial Revolution commenced, man is drinking dry the Earth's wellspring. The end result could be the collapse of civilization and the loss of civil liberties.

Global populations could be so greatly reduced that the nation-state may find an excuse to use sweeping powers. Society could eventually revert to the breakdown that prevailed during the Dark Ages, where fundamentalist religions and local despots dominated human existence.

[Globalist finances are making us all poorer…it extracts wealth to benefit the few.  Free enterprise actually helped build the Middle Class for nearly 100 years].

Will today's inflation and supply chain problems lead to extreme food shortages as the population increases? There will inevitably be a shortage of food if any disaster occurs, for sure, so why not be prepared in any case?

This didn't use to be an issue, as expert David Morris wrote, "The titles 'survivalist' and 'prepper' would have seemed redundant a couple of generations ago. When the Greatest Generation was growing up, preparedness was simply a way of life. Before the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal aid programs were around, people knew that they had to be able to take care of themselves in the event of natural and manmade disasters."

"At the core, that's what survivalists and preppers are. They are people who are aware that life is full of uncertainty and who have decided to put things into place for when bad times happen."

"With the Constitution and Bill of Rights, our Founding Fathers pushed responsibility from the Federal government down to the individual citizen and promoted a survivalist/prepper mentality. They did it with the 2nd and 4th Amendments, they did it by example (Washington leading a mostly barefoot army across the Delaware), and they did it throughout their writing."

At the very least, start storing canned and packaged foods immediately. Once a foundation of at least a week's worth of food is established, continue to build your stores until you have at least a month's worth of canned and packaged goods that you and your loved ones actually like and will eat. After you have a month's worth of food stored, start looking at long-term freeze-dried or dehydrated food-storage options to supplement your stash.

Having a week's supply of water on hand is great, but you will need to be able to get more when you run out. You should know at least a couple of potential water sources nearby and have a plan to purify it

Morris adds that the "survival" mentality will also help our country in general as resources become more scarce:

"The more self-reliant you are, the less control the government can exert over your life. In addition to living a lifestyle that insulates them, survivalists and preppers are usually well-armed and seek advanced training … After a local, regional or national disaster, the number of refugees will be inversely proportional to the number of preppers and survivalists in the area. In other words, the more preppers you have in an area, the less strain the hospitals, volunteer organizations and government-run refugee centers will have.

"You're not going to see very many refugees donating their food, supplies or time. It's not that they don't want to, but rather it's because they are in a fight for their lives and may be dehydrated, hungry and tired.

"Preppers and survivalists who have food storage, water or water-treatment tools and who have prepared themselves psychologically for disasters will be able to help in several ways. First, they are less likely to become refugees or use the time and resources of first responders. Second, since they are prepared for disasters, they can help the people in their immediate area, which will lessen the load on first responders and reduce the number of refugees. Third, by helping themselves and their neighbors, preppers will increase the quality of care for people who do need first responder care or who need to relocate to a refugee center.

"In short, the more survivalists and preppers we have, the more stable our families, cities and the country as a whole are."




The harsh reality is... you never know how bad things will get over the next 15 years and you never know how long the hard times will last. The only way to guarantee that we survive is to be prepared.

I encourage everyone who is able to acquire seeds and grow vegetables in a home garden…

NOTE:

The world where freedom of religion, let alone freedom of speech, is now regarded by some (many?) as a problem for a free society rather than a basic foundation of the same is indeed a strange new world.

Could You Survive?

Every time you turn on the news or get on the internet, you are bombarded with images of one disaster or another. Sometimes it is a tornado, hurricane or earthquake and other times, it is civil unrest that is wreaking havoc. Then there are the terrorists that are always working hard to make this world an unpleasant and uncertain place to live.

Just like a star that declines and collapses after consuming all the hydrogen in its core, an empire consumes the very things that made it successful and powerful to begin with. And when an empire declines and collapses, just like a star, the effects of that collapse cascade across the region for years to come.

It should not be a controversial statement to say that the world’s dominant empire today, the United States, is in obvious decline.

The US has steadily depleted and destroyed the very resources that made it so powerful in the first place-- things like freedom, capitalism, self-reliance, social cohesion, reputation, military strength, and fiscal restraint.

The US government had just published its annual financial report showing, among other things, that they lost a mind-blowing $4.1 trillion in Fiscal Year 2022, which was $1 trillion worse than the year before.

Going through the rest of the report, you’ll see them describe the utterly dire situation of Social Security, whose trust funds are set to run out of money within the next 10 years or so. They also forecast the national debt to reach more than FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT of GDP.

Understand that the disinflation / deflation debate that will soon rage among the talking heads during 2023 and into 2024 is a load of codswallop for the fundamental fact that Inflation is COMPOUNDING! And thus the Inflation of the 2020's will resemble that of the 1970's, a HUGE Inflation spike that will deliver a great deal of pain that most are totally unprepared for which will sow much civil unrest amongst the masses, rioting, looting and burning of commercial districts.

 

With so much strife in the world, it only makes sense you would take action to prepare for the inevitable to strike your little corner of the world. Most people always assume it will never happen to them or where they live. Living in a bubble or burying your head in the sand isn't going to help matters when disaster does strike. We have seen the evidence mounting over the past couple of years. Our electricity grids are vulnerable. We could very well find ourselves living in a very dark world. Could you survive?

Homemade Apple Pie Moonshine, 101 Steps to a Simple Life, DIY Barrel Stove

Apple Pie Moonshine

Apple pie shine is probably the most popular and sought after type of bootleg whiskey ever made, and for good reason - it's delicious. We've already posted procedures for making a basic mash and even instructions on making peach moonshine. Here is our favorite (high octane) apple pie moonshine recipe.

Details:

Prep time: 5 minutes.

Cook time: 30 minutes.

Yield: Just over 2 quarts of 70 proof Apple Pie Moonshine.

Taste: Absolutely yummy, but knock your socks off strong.

Ingredients:

1 quart of 150 proof, pure corn whiskey moonshine (everclear could be used as a substitute).

3 cans of frozen apple concentrate.

8 cinnamon sticks.

0-2 cups brown sugar*.

*Depending on how sweet you want it to be, you may add up to twice as much of these particular items (in other words, 1 or 2 cups of brown sugar instead of none).

Directions:

The "Instant Satisfaction" Method

First, add the apple concentrate, cinnamon sticks and brown sugar to a pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer on very low heat, covered, for 20-30 minutes. Stir a few times as it is heating up to dissolve the sugar. Heating causes the cinnamon sticks to release their flavor very quickly, allowing you to be able to drink it immediately. I like to call this the "instant satisfaction" method.

After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool.  Make sure it is completely cool, and none of the burners on the stove are on before moving on to the next step.

After the mixture has cooled, split it between 4 pint jars (or 2 quart jars). Top the jars off with 150 proof corn whiskey. Remember, 100+ proof moonshine is flammable. You do not want to do this anywhere near a heat source.

If you completed all of the steps, congratulations, you just made your very own apple pie moonshine. You can start enjoying the fruits of your labor immediately.  

The "no-boil" method

They say that good things come to those who wait, and we think that this statement applies to apple pie moonshine as well as it does to anything else. If you want to make a truly supreme batch of apple pie shine, you'll want to use this method. The "instant satisfaction" method listed above causes flavor to be rapidly released from cinnamon sticks, making your batch instantly drinkable. However, "steeping" the ingredients overnight, without boiling, produces a better product. Why? Well, we aren't exactly sure, but we think that boiling the cinnamon sticks cause additional flavors to be released, making the final product ever so slightly bitter. The "no boil" method provides 100% of the flavor with none of the bitterness.

Beware, this recipe is high proof. A lot of recipes call for adding a gallon apple this and a gallon of apple that, but by the time you're done adding all that liquid, you've dropped your proof down into the baby formula range. Apple concentrate provides apple flavor without compromising proof. This stuff sneaks up on you - and then it punches you in the face! But it's oh, so good.

 

Gourmet Apple Pie Moonshine

The above mentioned recipe (cinnamon, sugar, and apple juice concentrate only) will make a great batch of apple pie moonshine. However, add spices like ginger, orange peel, cloves, allspice, vanilla bean, peppercorn, etc... and you'll have something that will make your tastebuds do backflips. There are plenty of recipes on the web for more complicated versions of apple pie moonshine. Some of them are great, other are OK, but most are sorely lacking. We know this firsthand here at Clawhammer Supply, because we've tried a lot of them out. We did this because we've been working on a top secret project for a while now - the creation of a perfect blend of apple pie moonshine spices. After making many, many test batches, and drinking a lot, lot, lot of apple pie moonshine, we finally landed on a recipe that we're 100% sure will melt your tastebuds into a puddle of awesomeness. We proudly present to you our very own Apple Pie Moonshine Spice Mix. Check out that link to buy some, or head on over to our sister site, How to Make Apple Pie Moonshine for more info and additional recipes.

Baking Time Saver

When I bake from scratch (muffins, pancakes, bread or cake), I make extra. I put all of the dry ingredients in a zipper baggie and label the bag with a marker. When I want to bake the item again, I only have to add the wet ingredients, which saves a lot of time.

30 Ways You Waste Money

Almost all of us have holes in our budgets. And as with other kinds of leaks, you may have hardly noticed some of them. But those small drips can quickly add up to big bucks. The trick is to find the holes and plug them so you can keep more money in your pocket. That extra cash could be the ticket to finally being able to save, invest or break the cycle of living from paycheck to paycheck.

We've updated our popular list of money-wasters for 2014 with even more tips and resources to help you cut unnecessary expenses from your budget. Consider these 30 common ways people waste money. If any of them sound familiar, start plugging your budget holes right away.

Buying at the Wrong Time

Most things are marked down at certain times each year. So planning your purchases to get big-ticket items when they're at their lowest price can save you hundreds of dollars. For example, apparel is dramatically marked down at the end of each season and during sales events over long holiday weekends, such as Labor Day and Memorial Day. Furniture is discounted as much as 60% during clearance sales in January and July before new styles are released in the following months. Prices on TVs and computers are slashed on Black Friday -- and the list goes on.

Americans should also blame themselves for their declining net worth. We waste a whole lot of money. Seriously -over half a trillion dollars.

 

From unused gift cards to ATM fees we waste or lose billions annually.  Take a peek:


 

 

Save on fuel

Our nation’s roads and bridges are in sad shape and the toll winter takes on roads only makes the situation worse [pot holes in MI have been known to swallow cars].  As a consequence many of our cities are playing catch-up on road repairs.  Avoid congested routes and save on fuel and repairs [and perhaps a few bottles of aspirin] by using this resource:

www.traffic.com or from your cell phone at:  http://mobi.traffic.com or by calling the traffic hotline at: 866-698-7232

 

The percentage of Americans that are either working or looking for work is the lowest that it has been in 36 years?  In August, an all-time record high 92,269,000 Americans 16 years of age and older did not "participate in the labor force". 

 

 


Your Online Estate…A Sign of the Times!

My husband died suddenly. I had been a widow before at the tender age of 25. The world was different then with no internet, no online accounts, and no home computers. We were young and owned nothing.

This time I had the problem of not knowing passwords for online accounts. A couple of accounts like PayPal and Amazon were set so that the computer remembered and automatically entered the password. However, it took two hours to get the name changed on the phone and Uverse account with AT&T, because with paperless billing, I didn't have the full account number. I didn't know the password, but I did know the PIN. I couldn't answer the security questions because he chose obscure questions. Fortunately for me, that was the only account that my husband usually handled alone. I knew the passwords for the credit cards, etc.

It would be a service to your readers to suggest that everyone keep a list of financial passwords with their wills.

 

Secret Way to Save on Eating Out

Sure there are entertainment books, coupons in local newspapers and on the back of supermarket receipts and many restaurants offer coupons on their own web sites…but after spending much of the past two years in and out of hospitals, I have found their cafeteria offers a great place to eat for not a lot of money.

I’ve eaten in hospital cafeterias in MI, PA, OH and AZ and have found all consistently offer tasty dishes ranging from veggie omelets to gourmet dinners.  In one city I visit often, many of the locals choose to eat at the hospital rather than the local restaurants!

 

Nearly half of all Americans say they lose track of about $2,340 per year according to a study by Visa – no one is sure where the money goes and men under 35 are the biggest mystery losers and women in that age group fared nearly as bad losing an average of $52 each week!
