Class warfare
The Won is steadily flogging class envy to build his base up.
here’s the thing:
As I’ve said before, it is the entitlement class and the class of embedded bureaucrats who are the problem
We need a class war. Those of us who produce, work, accomplish, and the parasites. There is no room for envy in this war, all that is required is a hatred of the atmosphere of entitlement. I’m entitled to your money, and you do not deserve to keep it.
This is the simple litmus test: if a person believes that you should be forced to give money for anything, they are the enemy. be aware of their every movement, and be prepared to defend yourself when the time comes. The time is coming.
Some talk has gone around due to scads of morons opening firearm training schools. Most of the stuff I see, I am amazed by the dangerousness of it, and it blows my mind.
Situational awareness is everything. I can probably outshoot and outgun a large number of people, but there are a: Always people I cannot outgun, and b: The blind luck of an amateur. So I practice situational awareness, constantly.
I memorize the cars in my rear view mirror and pay attention to what they are doing. I notice everyone who has a gun, and if they are one of us, an LEO, or someone who has no business with a gun. I’m good at noticing who has a gun. I notice what kids are doing and where. I notice where the entrances and exits are in a room, and I notice where the soft and hard cover is. I pay attention to how people talk and what they are doing.
Situational awareness is something that can be learned but possibly not taught, I spent time working in some prisons and it teaches you to have your head on a loose swivel.
Situational awareness also means knowing the people in your neighborhood who you can trust, and the ones who will cause you grief. Houses with Gadsden flags are pretty safe bets, obama stickers, not so much. Know who in your neighborhood you will need to think about helping to protect, and know who belongs in your neighborhood and who does not.
Ammunition is going to be an issue. So is food. You will always use the ammo, and you will always use the food. Don’t buy MRE’s or shit you wouldn’t normally eat, just buy stuff you like and buy more of it. Don’t forget pet food and meds for you and the pets, if they need them.
A storm is brewing.

Unfortunately, we are the ones who don’t belong in our neighborhood.
Ah well, they may be able to take everything we own, but that’s all they’ll get. And even that will be gone in 6 months.
Meanwhile, we’ll know how to make more.
This really freaks me out
“This is the simple litmus test: if a person believes that you should be forced to give money for anything, they are the enemy. be aware of their every movement, and be prepared to defend yourself when the time comes.
Not sure what you mean, because the time has already come by your definition. You are a tax striker?
Taxes are mandatory by current law.
Unless you’re a tax resistor, you are forced to pay money for something and are doing so.
I didn’t want my taxes to pay for the Iraq War, which was based on WMD lies.
I didn’t want them to pay for the bailout of the banksters who should be in prison.
Every troop should be out of Iraq
and Afghanistan and every guilty bankster who collapsed the economy with credit default swaps and the like should be in prison before one penny of “entitlement” money is taken away from SS and Medicare.
I’m sure you agree because you already consider those “forcing you to give money” for “anything” the “enemy.”
Impose term limits and change 99% of public housing and welfare into “poorhouses.”
Then being a member of the parasitic class wouldn’t be quite so fun and profitable.
Yes. I’m a radical.
Ordinarily I would cragerize a comment like the one above to say what I feel the moron in question actually meant, but in this case, either in a stunning and unusual display of balls, or typical leftist lack of judgement, this one actually left what seems to be a valid email address, so I’m just gonna fisk it instead.
Let’s start here, shall we?
“Unless you’re a tax resistor, you are forced to pay money for something and are doing so.”
Duh. yes, captain obvious, I pay those taxes, because I have no choice. Way to be so totally whooshed by the point that it didn’t even brush the hair of the guy standing on the top floor of the highest building near you.
Next:
I didn’t want my taxes to pay for the Iraq War, which was based on WMD lies.
Translation: Instead of believing the actual, you know, truth, about the wmd’s that were, in fact, found, I prefer to believe the leftist party line. And I’m utterly ignorant of the nature of Islam.
“I didn’t want them to pay for the bailout of the banksters who should be in prison.”
You mean that program put forth by the democrat house and democrat senate? yeah, I thought that was stupid too.
“Every troop should be out of Iraq
and Afghanistan ” How about Libya? I guess the Commander in Chief doesn’t agree with you. Also, you’re utterly ignorant of the nature of Islam.
“before one penny of “entitlement†money is taken away from SS and Medicare.”
Now you’re ignorant of this as well. Sorry, pall, there IS NO money in SS or Medicare. It’s all already been stolen.
“I’m sure you agree because you already consider those “forcing you to give money†for “anything†the “enemy.†”
The only thing you’re sure of is just how ignorant you are. Aside; military defense of our nations interests is a stated segment of the Constitution. Medicare and SS are in fact, not.
Suz: I edited the timestamp of your comment so it wouldn’t be between the dipstick above me and my fisking.
N5: I’m not trying to be reactionist, I’m trying to be prepared.
Having met you, I expect that you are more prepared than most, certainly more than anyone in your hometown.
Well said.
Very well said.
You already know where I stand.
you were too nice to “amspirnationalist”.
Re: Taxes, I’m currently reading “The Baroque Cycle”, and I’m struck by just how much worse things have been for most of human history. It’s also pointed out just how bad things get when the shooting starts (or rather, how much less worse they are when the shooting takes a breather).
Hence, I see things like keeping a bug-out kit and learning to use a firearm as necessary tools/skills for surviving human existence as it’s been generally understood for millennia. I have realized I have no reason to expect a comfortable life. I have begun to alter my thinking and to plan accordingly.
I really really really hope the shooting doesn’t start up again any time soon.
I hope you are wrong but fear that you are right.
As geezers, we won’t bug out.
We have, maybe, a months worth of food and water.
We do have the tools to acquire more if need be.
Dry beans and Rice are cheap in bulk.
The woman I love has taken up canning as a hobby.
I will be teaching her to shoot before the first snow flies this year.
And… I’m willing to go cannibal if I have to :)
The (sad?) reality of the times is that for most of those living in public(taxpayer paid for) housing, bug out means the Orkin man is coming.
Which might not really be so sad…
I’ve been wearing my tinfoil hat for so long that it has grown into my skull like Joe Dirt’s mullet. but that’s OK, because I never met a bullshit conspiracy theory I didn’t love to espouse. And Ron Paul is teh Roxxors!!!
Now, where’d I put my bong?
I’m inclined to take your advice, but my wife and I trying for health reasons to eat more fresh and frozen foods for health reasons. For the canned and shelf stable stuff I have no problem with stocking up on that stuff. I’d have no problem with buying a chest freezer to stock up on frozen food, but for the fact that I think the first sign of the fall of civilization will be the ability to generate electricity reliably. So I guess that means buy a chest freezer, generator and stock up on gasoline too?
Diesel. You don’t want to be stuck with a gasoline generator. A diesel will run on vegetable oil in a pinch, and you can almost always get some of that.
fresh and frozen isn’t a problem, especially with a chest freezer, but there is no difference between fresh hamburger and frozen hamburger. Also, check your foods: Lots of tinned foods are no different nutritionally than frozen, just avoid processed foods like soup. Also, most legumes and grains can be stored dry indefinitely. Check out this study for some interesting information on preserved foods.
I’m too stupid to understand that I’ve been beaten, so I keep coming back and posting drivel trying to convince everyone I have a penis.
I’ll definitely give your advice some consideration. What’s the shelf life of diesel fuel like? With gasoline, I could stockpile a couple of five gallon cans, and dump them into the car every few months, but I can’t do that with diesel.
Diesel has a long life, plus you can keep a 55 gallon drum around and not be afraid it’s gonna turn your shed into a bomb.
Sorry Og, the rest of my comment got ate. It freaks me a bit exactly because of where I live- Beans bullets and bandaids are great, but having neighbors who think that “it CAN* never happen here” is the biggest challenge that my family would face if it gets bad.
* as contrasted with it “WILL never happen here”
lol. Yep, n5, I gotcha. But knowing is half of preparation, right?
Hey, the current MREs aren’t bad at all! And they’re something easy to throw in the car or pack if need to.
having neighbors who think that “it CAN* never happen here†is the biggest challenge that my family would face if it gets bad.
How about the folks who are pretty convinced it will happen, but who haven’t internalized the ensuing lack of infrastructure? I’ve talked with people who are quite happy to get a genny and store food, but are visibly shaken when I say things like “What happens to the genny if the gas (all the gas) runs out?” and “What if the police aren’t there?” It calls for careful treading.
Joanna, you’re quite right. I have been thinking about this, and preparing, more or less since Hurricane Floyd put a crimp in my Crinoline in 1998. Still got a long way to go.
My asshole BIL ridicules me- says he’ll just come to my house if the balloon goes up. When asked why he thought that I’d feed his kids instead of my own when he failed make plans to feed them, he made a smart ass comment and said “what you gonna do, N5? Shoot me?” That’s when my long suffering wife kicked me under the Easter dinner table. Tread lightly, all right.
I used to laugh when I quoted Dr Evil (“Why must I be surrounded by frickin’ idiots”) but I ain’t laughing no more.
(Apologies for the long anecdote. N5, out.)
n5, you’re welcome anytime.
Dave: Here’s a couple of relatively inexpensive diesel engines
