Is the Election Over With?

 

Is the 2016 election campaign over?  The establishment media have done their best to destroy Trump’s candidacy — not by refuting a single issue in his indictment of the status quo but by destroying the entirety of his already flawed character.

 Was there anything we didn’t already know about Trump’s character before The Washington Post put those interview outtakes online late Friday?  After all, he was a celebrity, not a politician before he made his presidential run.  What if Arnold had decided to run for office…would the Terminator have fared any better?

It is amounting to a public assassination because he dared challenge both of the parties and the status quo.  Quite literally there are rewards being offered out there for his head, political gossip and dirt no matter how long ago and no matter how irrelevant.  Some of this is being funded by the DNC, some by Hillary’s hit men and some likely behind the scenes by our President, a well known dirty political fighter who struck a deal with the Clinton’s during his run for reelection.

Little wonder the elites are circling the wagons, says former Washington insider David Stockman: “For 30 years, they have mired the nation in war, debt, rampant financial inflation, economic failure and the suffocating rule of the Imperial City.”

Trump threatened their rule. He had to be destroyed. Fortunately for them, he was a fatally flawed candidate and made himself an easy target – even recently leaked emails from Hillary’s election team confirm this.

But what now? “The next four years are destined to become a time of epic financial, economic and political failure,” says David.

“The blame will fall directly on President (nearly elect) Hillary Clinton and our current ruling elites.”

Here’s the good news: David sees a massive political realignment materializing from that failure. “The chance is at hand for the ashes of economic and political failure to burn America's own Leviathan down to size.

Politics, they say, is a real racket, with the same old tired promises being made and then broken. More than $6 billion was spent in 2012 and more will likely be spent this year.  And it’s time we stop waiting on it to give us the change we want and need.

Politics is a way humanely to fight over the control of hierarchy. The U.S. republic was in certain respects designed to create checks between factions and parties by setting them against each other. Ballots over bullets and all that. It was thought of as a necessary evil -- an alternative to the subjugation of people, which came from monarchy, feudalism, and aristocratic privilege.

Now, most of us realize, the system really is rigged to one degree or another.

For whatever reason the FBI and the Justice Department are failing to indict Hillary – AND there are plenty of people inside the FBI who feel she should be indicted for destroying evidence, lying about her at-home server and more…

NEW YORK – "A video obtained by WND from Libyan sources shows a fighter aligned with the jihadists supported by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton beheading a defenseless taxi driver shortly before the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2011, in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Parliamentary leaders call Clinton 'Butcher of Libya'

• Immunity deals stopped FBI from investigating BleachBit use in Clinton email case
• Republicans blast FBI for 'astonishing' agreement to destroy Clinton aides' laptops
• FBI files reveal missing email 'boxes' in Clinton case, allegations of evidence tampering
• Arms dealer who threatened to reveal Clinton's Libya dealings rips DOJ for 'injustice'

Republicans in the House are not going to give up on their investigations. Clinton doesn't care about them as long as Lynch and Comey remain in their jobs and, God forbid, she is elected.

Hillary Clinton is a globalist who will go into the Oval Office with one goal and that is the total and complete destruction of our sovereign nation. Open borders, trade agreements that reduce us to rags made in other countries, continued massive unemployment and more. Like promising to raise taxes on the middle class (while the zombies at her event clapped and nodded their empty heads) and put all coal miners out of work. Yes, she said those things.

I simply must add this link. Do take the few minutes to watch. It's brilliant:

Liar Liar Pants On Fire Hillary Song

POSTSCRIPT

Men in power enjoy having women at their disposal and frankly, it often seems women seem attracted to men in power.  Thousands of movies and book plot lines revolve around this.  Jack Kennedy was legendary for secret meetings with women, especially Marilyn Monroe, his brother, Edward, nearly got killed and his mistress did die after they ran off a bridge one late night…

Eisenhower had a mistress, Franklin Roosevelt had a mistress, Lyndon Johnson had several affairs, even after Lady Bird walked in on him once.  In those days the press didn’t publicize these extra-curricular activities, now they salivate over them [even for those not yet in office].

Few men probably hold a candle to the sheer quantity of women actually bedded down while in office, beginning while governor as did William Clinton.

In some respects the recent “outrage” over the ten year old locker room, off-camera dirty talk by Trump only mirrored how most men talk at one time or another.  Admit it guys.  If you’ve ever listened to rap music or spent time in sports locker room, a sports bar, a topless joint or other typical gathering spot for men, this is often how men talk.

Does it make it right?  Perhaps not but it does not change human nature.

Even the President of the United States, reading from a book he wrote, talks like this…

Obama in fake black accent talks about pussy…

Private Drinking Water Wells - Keeping your H2O supply safe

Ground Water and Drinking Water

Emergency storm preparedness to help protect your drinking water supply and wastewater disposal systems.
Major storms and hurricanes can result in flooding. What should you do to protect your drinking water?

If your family gets drinking water from a private well, do you know if your water is safe to drink? What health risks could you and your family face? Where can you go for help or advice?

The information contained in this web site will help you answer these questions.

EPA regulates public water systems; it does not have the authority to regulate private drinking water wells. Approximately 15 percent of Americans rely on their own private drinking water supplies, and these supplies are not subject to EPA standards, although some state and local governments do set rules to protect users of these wells. Unlike public drinking water systems serving many people, they do not have experts regularly checking the water’s source and its quality before it is sent to the tap. These households must take special precautions to ensure the protection and maintenance of their drinking water supplies.

Basic Information - Learn about the types of drinking water wells and guidelines for proper construction.

Where You Live - Find information about private drinking water wells in your region or state.

Frequent Questions -This page answers questions you may have about your well water.

Human Health - Learn about health risks associated with drinking water wells.

Partnerships - Several organizations are working to keep private drinking water wells safe.

What You Can Do - Learn how to do your part in keeping your drinking water well safe.

Publications -Download or order copies of brochures, booklets, posters, reports, and multi-media publications.

Major storms and hurricanes can result in flooding. What should you do to protect your drinking water?

The Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) contains information about public water systems and their violations of EPA's drinking water regulations, as reported to EPA by the states. These regulations establish maximum contaminant levels, treatment techniques, and monitoring and reporting requirements to ensure that water systems provide safe water to their customers.

You may select systems either by locating systems within a geographic area or by entering the water system ID number. For more detailed information about the water you drink, contact your local water supplier directly or call your state drinking water agency. To find the phone number for your state's drinking water agency, click here or call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

For national and state-by-state information, please see the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water's drinking water facts and figures page.

Safer, non-slip surfaces can be made easily by mixing sand with paint (mix right into your roller pan) and coat steps, docks and more.

PM’s Compendium of Useful Resources

When should I test my well water?

Our well water smells a tad bit funky.  It’s possible it’s due to lack of regular use or there are contaminants in it.  I bought a test kit on eBay for $20 to be sure…I also picked up some filtration systems to use on our faucets.

There are several tests that, if done periodically, can help owners of private wells determine whether they have safe, clean drinking water. Periodic testing will confirm the quality of your well water. State well construction code requires that new wells be tested before use. You should consider testing anytime you notice a change in odor or taste.

In the worst case situation, you may have to apply a shock chlorination treatment (as described in the last resource link below).

 How to Hide Money

The following ideas on how to hide money are not foolproof. An experienced thief can find almost any hiding place if he has enough time. Fortunately speed is important to a thief, and there are ways to slow him down. Better yet, there are even ways to convince him to leave before looking everywhere.

First, avoid the obvious places which are always checked, like under the mattress, in dresser drawers, closets, and small safes (the safe will be taken whole, to be opened later). A list of better places can be found below.

But as part of your plan to convince a thief to leave, some of your money should be relatively easy to find. Why? Because, as thieves will tell you, they are going to tear apart your home until they think they have found the bulk of the money and valuables available. Even though they are in a hurry, they don't want to...

Simple Backyard Grill and Fireplace

We already had a nice large burn pit circle, metal lined built in the center of a large concrete patio.  It’s a simple matter to stack concrete block in a circular fashion around the pit along with recycled grill racks.  We also picked up a tri-pod with hanging grill rack which can be used in a pinch (from a garage sale for $1).  Since the standard concrete blocks aren’t cemented, they’re easily moved.

Quick n easy home- made soft scrub for no-scratch cleaning - Mix 1 cup baking soda with some warm water to make a paste plus a few drops of liquid soap.  Apply to surface and let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with non-abrasive sponge and rinse.

The Nanny State Updates…

In the 21^st Century, the biggest threat to our personal freedom and liberty, our economy and our middle class is the federal government.  --The Poor Man

Big Brother Regularly Ignores the Constitution and Bill of Rights

If you regularly carry a cell phone around with you, you might as well say goodbye to your privacy. The truth is that any cell phone you buy is going to track you wherever you go 24 hours a day. Just as you leave "footprints" wherever you go on the Internet, so also your cell phone is constantly recording wherever you go in the physical world. Most people do not realize this, but the reality is that cell phones are tracking devices that governments, law enforcement authorities, big corporations and even stalkers can use to easily track your movements. If you do not know about this yet, then you are going to be absolutely amazed by what you are about to read. Not only do cell phones track you wherever you go, they can also be used to listen to your private conversations even when they are turned off.

The FBI can remotely activate the microphone on your cell phone and listen to whatever you are saying....

The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

The reality is that the NSA has been monitoring all phone calls for years and years. According to USA Today, the NSA intends "to create a database of every call ever made"....

The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY.

The Parting Thought – Fixing Idiocy in Washington

Warren Buffett on debt ceiling …worth repeating!

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.
—Edward Abbey

Government Makes Us Poor: The free market sparks innovation and creates wealth.
Competition forces people to become more efficient and to get rid of stupid rules. What if we let people take over some unused land in America to create areas with fewer rules, simpler legal systems, smaller government? John Stossel says we should give it a try. After all, freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.

For those keeping score, the unemployment rate has hovered around 9 percent for all of 2011, was over 9 percent for all of 2010 and most of 2009, and will remain above 8 percent until 2014 according to the Congressional Budget Office (and that's a generous estimate that didn't account for the most recent economic slowdown). If you demand more and want to see full employment in America (about 5 percent unemployment), you'll have to wait until 2018, and that will happen only if employers regain their confidence and begin hiring at 176,000 jobs per month--much higher than the rate seen in September and, for that matter, all year.

Why there is no recovery

Business owners are saying they’re not hiring due to Obama’s anti-business policies.  Taxes and over-regulation have topped their concerns for decades but it’s getting worse.  Fear and uncertainty over government policy have created a rotten mood.  Everyone, consumers and business alike are in an ultra-cautious mood right now.  Bank of America’s recent $5 monthly fee to use a debit card sort of topped the cake this month with consumer anger…want to post a complaint?  There’s a fee for that!

It is as Bastiat  (French Economist and author) said:  the real cost of the state is the prosperity we do not see, the jobs that don’t exist, the technologies to which we do not have access, the businesses that do not come into existence, and the bright future that is stolen from us. The state has looted us just as surely as a robber who enters our home at night and steals all that we love.

Consumers to get hammered again financially…

According to the Daily Beast utility bills across the country are about to go up significantly....

Already weary of high gas prices and 9.1 percent unemployment, many Americans are about to get another kick in the wallet thanks to large increases in their electricity bills.

From Alaska to Georgia and Wyoming to Florida, utilities are seeking permission to pass on hundreds of millions of dollars in new charges to customers to help upgrade aging infrastructure and build new or retrofitted power plants that comply with tougher environmental regulations, a Daily Beast review of regulatory filings has found.

Winter weather brings on chapped hands…treat by rubbing a thick layer of petroleum jelly and place them in a plastic bag for 15 minutes.  Result-supple hands!

The Parting Thought – Where do we stand historically?

The Law of Historical Cycles

Social cycle theory (also known as sociological theory of cycles) is one of the earliest social theories in sociology. Unlike the theory of social evolutionism, which views the evolution of society and human history as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), social cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history are repeating themselves in cycles

Interpretation of history as repeating cycles of Dark and Golden Ages was a common belief among ancient cultures.

Sociological cycle theory was also developed by Pitirim A. Sorokin (1889-1968) in his Social and Cultural Dynamics (1937, 1943). He classified societies according to their 'cultural mentality', which can be ideational (reality is spiritual), sensate (reality is material), or idealistic (a synthesis of the two). He interpreted the contemporary West as a sensate civilization dedicated to technological progress and prophesied its fall into decadence and the emergence of a new ideational or idealistic era.

Fascism is the system of government that cartelizes the private sector, centrally plans the economy to subsidize producers, exalts the police state as the source of order, denies fundamental rights and liberties to individuals, and makes the executive state the unlimited master of society.

This describes mainstream politics in America today. And not just in America. It's true in Europe, too. It is so much part of the mainstream that it is hardly noticed any more.

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequences:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;

2. from spiritual faith to great courage;

3. from courage to liberty;

4. from liberty to abundance;

5. from abundance to complacency;

6. from complacency to apathy;

7. from apathy to dependence;

8. from dependence back into bondage

Undeniably, we live in uncertain times. A changing of seasons...a transfer of power...a period of destruction before creation begins anew.

In the meantime, a growing number of individuals are actively seeking an “insurance policy” against imminent chaos. They recognize opportunity abounds post-collapse...but they also want to preserve the necessary resources to capitalize on it when the dust finally settles. Some see their safety in gold. Others, in sustainable farmland, others in international diversification of their assets.

If you’re like me, I feel most of America is at stage six.  What do you think?

Yours in freedom, the Poor Man.
