Getting Started In Emergency Preparedness: Volume Three: Number Thirty-Five

Place de la Concorde

(1875)

Colin Powell
Grow up in the South Bronx, attended public school, was a member of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) at the City College of New York (CCNY) where he earned a Bachelors degree in Geology, was commissioned in these United States' Army, and ...

Went on to become the Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, Secretary of State, and ...

Receive three Electoral College votes for the office of President of these United States; even though he wasn't a candidate.

Lastly, ... He's Black!

For this reason some people would automatically think Mr. Colin Powell was promoted to these positions because of his race (affirmative action), some 'white' and some 'black.'

Yeap, you heard that right. According to the results of a poll, while he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it showed that a small minority of 'white' people felt that he was unjustly promoted to that position, while a majority of 'blacks' felt the same way.

I'll let that sink in, ... a majority of 'blacks' believed Colin Powell had been promoted to General because of affirmative action, and that he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the same reason.

Why, do I mention this?

First, there are a group of folks that are saying that 'blacks' aren't genetically able to make high achievements, except in sports.

Second, there are a different set of folks that say 'blacks' need help to achieve, much less make high achievements.

Lastly, both groups are Socialists.

Things You Might Want to Think About

Charles Hugh Smith
I have been reading Of Two Minds blog for over a decade.

Way back in 2005ish, Mr. Smith started talking about the dangers in the housing market, a few short years later, you know what happened.

Well, ... Mr. Smith is raising another alarm.

Evil Prick
Sorry 'History Writer Dude' your so-called argument falls short. You tried to link Italian Facism to German Nazis, two different systems. Plus, you failed to look at the economics of Nazi Germany.

Oooh, ... You also talk about a bunch of different stuff, never answering the real question 'Were Nazi's socialist?'

Feelings
Do you know the difference between inflation and hyperinflation? How about a recession and a depression? How about 'good' times and 'bad' times?

Yeah, ... It's how everybody thinks about it.

A Graph
Read the article, and ...

Make sure to read the link

Insanity
I didn't come up with this one, so ...

It seems every time an individual runs down people; at two different bus stops, ... Three Miles Apart; the authorities always blame a "psychiatric history" for the incident.

Even though, ... The 'sicko' may or may not have been shouting Alah Akbar

Manipulation
We, you and your family, need to worry about Nazis, Socialists, Communists, 'Black' Supremacists, and many other groups because they are real threats to your freedom.

But, ...

You also have to be careful of being manipulated, in believing these potential threats are more important then they really are for you and your family.

Not Happening
Sorry to tell you this folks, but ...

Humans aren't going to live on the surface of Mars, like we do on Earth.

It seems, Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, so any atmosphere will be 'blown away' by the solar winds.

Three Stories
When I first saw this story, different media outlets had different headlines.

One said the "Car ploughs through...,' while another the "Car rams into protesters ...," while some just said the driver hit some protesters.

Of course, almost all of the articles called Kenny "Kiwi" Herring a woman.

And, ...

A few forgot to mention that Kiwi was waving a knife around, trying to attack the police officers.

Needless to say, the usual folks are out protesting for a mentally disturbed black man.

Three Stories, Part Two
First mistake, the driver drives into a crowd.

Second mistake, the crowd surrounds the car, people leap on the car, hit the car, and ...

Third mistake, normal folks are getting scared. When the normal folks get scared, they don't listen to reason then people start to die, by the thousands.

Overheard

"I’ll teach you what to look for."

"The convulsions over President Trump’s vivid clowning are just a symptom of the concealed rot eating away at the foundations of American life. What they demonstrate most of all is the failure of this society’s sensory organs — the news media — to ascertain what is actually happening to us. And the recognition of that failure accounts for the current state of the media’s disrepute, even if its critics are doing a poor job of articulating it."

"The fact that this is all a marketing trick is really disappointing."

"Every judge should be armed today in America. Prosecutors need to be armed. It was a cold-blooded attempted murder on a judge."

"The burning of the jersey thing is getting ridiculous now!"

"Why does the media make sure that all white perps involved in crimes, especially racial or political ones, are relentlessly reported on and their whiteness made central to the story?"

“I was in a pinball machine full of Antifa, it was a little scary but I was being bold and not adversarial,” Maxwell said. “You just wanted to ask me a couple questions about what was happening and we couldn’t even conduct an interview. “Dialogue is being shut down and free speech is being attacked and it’s being attacked by so called peaceful protesters under the name anti fascists.”
