When equality doesn't mean equal and freedom doesn't mean free

Everyone is equal under the law. But not everyone is equal. There are hundreds of ways we are not equal. Everything from differences in hair color, ambition, physical strength, competitiveness, mental focus, hand-eye coordination, allergies, musical talent and so on.

Is that unjust?

It is if you are an elitist social engineer.

Constitutional-sounding words like "equality" and "social justice" are used to give apparent weight and legitimacy to the completely false premises being espoused. They have as much substance as the breath behind the words or smoke on the wind.

They are merely part of the elites' ploy to try to get people to equate things that are merely social constructs, or colloquial social mores, with actual law, the point of which is to have these phrases carry the weight of law and be used to keep us fighting each other.

Social engineers want diversity to become equated with law, and therefore become the de-facto law without anyone ever having voted on it. What a triumph of propaganda we are witnessing should this come to pass!

If the elites get their way, without a vote, without due process, without one person in our Republic having an official voice in the matter, "social justice" and "rights" as defined by the immoral few — for example the so-called rights elitists want are in actuality special privileges – will have the force of law due to propaganda having succeeded in convincing people that there is no difference between constitutional law and unwritten social customs the elites want to force on everyone, even those with a different set of morals.

So who are these enemies of the elites, with different customs and beliefs, and likely to find themselves on the receiving end of penalties imposed due to these non-laws?

The criminal political class has made it quite clear it is not themselves or their government functionaries. It is not the parasitic "taker" class, too distracted by bread and circus, Hollywood antics, amoral lifestyles, reality TV, and "politics," too easily swayed by slick oratory, fancy suits and promises of government largesse to recognize creeping totalitarianism enabled by the psychopath social engineers.

No, those who will be held up as enemies of the State will be Americans who believe in the rule of the law, the Constitution, and freedom. We are always the target, you and I, because we think for ourselves and act independently. The elites want to stamp us out because we refuse to be controlled, dumbed down, tread upon.

We also refuse to be homogenized, and "equalized." The elites, so intent on their versions of "justice" and "equality" want you to think they're intent on making sure no one is left behind. In reality, they are ensuring that no one gets ahead. But isn't that the goal of totalitarian regimes?

In 1776, our founding fathers declared, "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

It is necessary for us as right-thinking members of the Republic to separate ourselves from the social engineers. Otherwise, without anyone taking notice, their change agents will continue to distort key words in our language. This blunts, diminishes and distorts our thinking process to the great advantage of unseen authority.

I used to believe that the Bill of Rights was succumbing to tyranny at all levels of government. Now I believe that it is succumbing to self-imposed tyranny — imposed by the very people it is meant to protect and keep free.




This is a part of the "benevolent totalitarianism" I have been writing to you about. It is the "you asked for this" form of tyranny by those in power — uninformed consent by the masses. You begged us for gun control even though it's unconstitutional. You asked us to allow "social justice" even though it's unlawful and arbitrary.

How do we repel this invasion from within?

People can be measured by their proclivity toward independent thought. This is the same as saying their disbelief in mass propaganda. The more we progress to alternative sources of information apart from the mainstream, the closer we come to reality.

He who builds his fortune, his beliefs or his health upon a foundation of information from the mainstream builds his house upon the sand. This syndrome is no different from the drug addict who plans his existence upon acquiring the next fix.

Think about transferring your existence from mass media and false phrases designed to deceive you to life and reality above the "madness of the crowd" while you can.

Encrypt everything, even your thinking. You're on the animal farm. Propaganda puts us in an altered state of consciousness, otherwise we would know that the supposed fight for equality and social justice is a war on us.

Genuine progress and genuine freedom, of course, result in human happiness and wealth, the very opposite of what the mass media and politicians tell us. More proof they are not advocates for us in any way.

As lovers of liberty and enemies of the social engineers, everything we read, see, and hear must decoded on our terms — on the basis of our original politics, our original culture, our original beliefs, and our original traditions, not their synthetically engineered social mores.

Yours for the truth,

USA domestic food production now collapsing

Mass starvation will burn through the world's developing nations for the next two years, and even in first world nations, working-class citizens will find themselves spending higher and higher portions of their incomes on basic food supplies.

This will, of course, lead to food riots. It's all by design. The idea is to cause mass chaos and martial law in America before the mid-term elections.

4 Really Big Names That Are Warning That Major Economic Disaster Is Ahead

 

How to Tighten Your Belt in Tough Times

Even small savings can avert a crisis. Use these tips to save small amounts of money in several areas of your budget and tighten your belt during tough times.

 

Why 90% of the Population Would Die Without Electricity

Experts predict that an EMP strike that wipes out electricity across the nation would ultimately lead to the demise of up to 90% of the population. However, this figure begs an important question: if we were able to live thousands of years without even the concept of electricity, why would we suddenly all die without it?

While it may seem as if going without electricity would be nothing but an unfortunate inconvenience, the truth is much more harrowing. To better understand why 90% of the population would die if the lights went out, consider the following ways in which losing electricity would impact our society.

Almost no one carries a bucket to a well to draw up water anymore. What this means is that our water sources are now dependent on electricity. If an EMP strikes, the vast majority of the population would lose access to fresh water as soon as the water towers run dry...

Natural disasters don't wait for a convenient time

And you shouldn't wait to prepare either. In some cases there is little to no warning.

Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies

 

Remember:  You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!

When you think about packing up items to help you survive a natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good reason.

Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.

An unavoidable reckoning-Leftist/anarchist morons calling for violence

The Fed is recklessly driving us towards an unavoidable reckoning

 Leftist/anarchist morons calling for violence over Supreme Court Nominations...

When asked what the biggest risks facing the economy are, David Stockman, lifelong Capital Hill and Wall Street insider, says "That's easy. There are three: The Fed, The Fed and the Fed." After decades of misguided policy and chronically missing its targets, Stockman thinks the Federal Reserve is truly barreling off the rails now, hurtling our market economy towards disaster.

 

How does one ‘get ahead’ during hard times?

 

We’re entering a period of time when the major systems that have supported humanity are going to fail. Or, put more accurately: they are already failing. Democrat run cities are being decimated by their so0called supporters-BLM, antifa and other socialist idiots.

 

Here are some major trends that will shape the next several decades of our lives, as many of them will have just as much impact -- or more -- than covid-19. In this video,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkO3CY4BYSE&feature=youtu.be

 

If you or anyone that you know has been forced out of work, chances are that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had something to do with it.

 

As you know, Pelosi has been one of the loudest voices pushing for a total and complete shutdown of the American economy. Democratic governors and mayors have been perfectly happy to follow her lead.

 

But now, the American people are fed up – and aren’t just calling for her removal from office.

University professor cancelled for watching a pro-police rally

Students at Skidmore College are boycotting an art professor, David Peterson, and demanding he be fired.

His crime? Watching a “back the blue” pro-police protest for about 20 minutes.

Peterson was not actually attending the rally, holding signs, or wearing a pro-police shirt. He simply listened to the pro-police protesters (AND the counter protesters) in his own community for a bit, and then went out to dinner with his wife.

So, simply just listening to an unwoke opinion is now a thoughtcrime. And that is all it takes these days to lose a career.

Repulsive Dems Already bashing Trump…

In the aftermath of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tensions on both sides of the aisle are high. With a hotly contested General Election just weeks away, some in the pundit/activist spheres, conditioned by the acceptance of civil unrest in our urban areas, are calling for acts of violence should President Trump nominate his pick to fill the vacancy on the bench.

Personally, I’d round up these idiots who engage in violence and send them to China.

In an array of tweets, several self-important personalities issued violent threats against the country should the President and the Senate actually do their constitutional duties:
 

·     “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f-----g thing down” and “Over our dead bodies. Literally,” tweeted Reza Aslan, an Iranian-born CNN host, born-again Islamist, and author.

 

·     “F--k no. Burn it all down,” tweeted Aaron Gouveia, author of Raising Boys To Be Good Men: A Parent's Guide to Bringing Up Happy Sons in a World Filled with Toxic Masculinity and Father who defended his 5-year old son’s right to wear fingernail polish.

 

·     “We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election,” tweeted Beau Willimon, a former aid to John Dean’s failed Senate bid and screenwriter who pilfered the idea for House of Cards from the British version.

SIDEBARS

To say things are a little scary right now would be an understatement, and everyone is holding their breath, wondering if we are headed for the next Great Depression. Experts say that if it happens, it will be worse than the crash in 1929, leaving those of us with families wondering how to survive the next Great Depression.

 

Things are different now. I know my bills are higher than those who lived a century ago, and most people have higher debts levels. It was just announced this week that the UK is in a recession far worse than the rest of Europe or North America.

 

Is the United States next? While our employment rate continues to decline as more people re-enter the workforce, we still have a 10% unemployment rate as of August 2020. People worry that, as COVID numbers increase, the unemployment rate will increase once again...

When the power goes out, it’d be nice to keep the fridge running and not have to throw away a ton of food.

One way to do this is to have a generator that can power your whole fridge and I do have these.

But, what if you want something that you can use in a car or while camping?

Or what if you want something that takes less (a lot less) watts than your fridge?

One option that I have is the ARB fridge/freezer.

 

This fridge/freezer is very popular among people who live off the grid and also people who go off-roading a lot.

The one I own is the 47L size.

It is pretty big and will take up a good amount of space in your car. The company does sell other sizes.

It is very easy to operate and you just push the buttons on the front to choose the temperature you want.

So, you can choose 0 degrees if you want to use it as a freezer or 37 degrees if you want to use it as a fridge. (or any temperature you want.)

Thankfully, I have never had to use mine in any kind of crazy grid-down scenario.

But, since I live in a small town in Utah our Costco is one hour away.

So, this mostly gets used on Costco trips to keep things cold on the way home and so that we can run other errands while in the “big city.”

This fridge/freezer is quite expensive and is more of a luxury item and to make life a bit easier.

But, if you want to add another level of preparedness or if you go off-roading often, this is something you may wish to consider.

Hand Me Downs-What are Those?

 

   When I was a young lad few of us knew what designer labels were…other than owning a pair of Levis, we never heard of so-called designer labels, Nike’s or other nonsensical $100 and up articles of clothing, toys or much of anything else in our neighborhood.

 

I’m not sure when society became so affluent that kids were spoiled with designer duds and over priced toys which frequently substituted as babysitters.

 

Some kids became so obsessed certain name brands that they killed each other over shoes named after some athlete…talk about a shallow life!

 

All the kids in my area wore hand-me-downs which were often mended by mothers who knew who how to sew and/or even make clothing from scratch from patterns.

 

As our Middle Class continues to decline and folks look for ways to stretch a buck in light of rising prices and shrinking product sizes here’s a peek at the ancient art of hand-me-downs.

9 Ways to Get Cheap or Free Vet Care for Your Pet



Office visits for your four-legged friends can be expensive. But you don't have to roll over. Here are some tips to take a bite out of vet bills.


 


  • 50 Things You Really Don’t Need to Buy (Cheapism): "Useless purchases come in many forms. There's stuff that's used only a few times before being consigned to the basement or attic; stuff that's pricey to buy but could be rented instead; stuff that's outdated or soon-to-be obsolete; and stuff that you just don't need to begin with. Here's a list of 50 things to avoid buying now or ever again."

 


·         Escaping Duct Tape

·         The original clip from Dateline was taken off YouTube. It showed how to escape duct tape in a hostage situation. To escape, the journalist simply raised her hands, tied together with duct tape, over her head and brought them down quickly in front of her and used the extra force to break free. I’ve also include another video below that shows an alternative method. I hope you never need to use these tips but you can definitely break free from duct tape if the need arises.
