Volume Four: Number Forty-Eight


Winter Landscape
Mortimer Smith
(1878)

Socialized Stuff
The Democrats and Some Republicans have this great idea to provide Medicare for All, tuition-free public colleges and trade schools, universal jobs guarantee, accessible housing, ... and a New Green Deal.

These are great ideas.

Before you leave, never to come back, let me explain.

Most preppers are older because older people have learned, through tough experience, that 'Bad Things Happen to Good People.'

So, ...

Having your doctor bills paid for by the Government will save you money for your preps. Plus, more then likely, the Government will pay for gym membership, so you can be healthier, for free.

Next, ...

You will have a job. A job paying $15 an hour with a retirement fund. If you can't find a job, the Government will probably provide free retraining.

Next, ...

You and your family will be able to afford a photovoltaic system for your home, energy efficient appliances, and other so-called green technology.

Lastly, ...

Your family will finally understand the collapse of these United States will be happening.

Things You Might Want to Think About

6X
Another indication of who are the Haves

85,000
Just in case, ...

You and your family think a year supply of food is excessive.

Actresses
She's right. We, as a people, need to quit overeating.

CBRN
Yeap, ...

Chemical weapons are being used in at least one conflict.

You know what this means, right?

Collabirator

Confederate-era guns
Repeat after me, ...

FaceBook, Instagram, and other social media posting will haunt you, ... forever.

Electrical Grid
More likely than not, ...

You and your family aren't considered 'critical assets'

Fake News
Democrat members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will investigate the personal email use by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton, according to a report.

Female Genital Mutilation
I agree.

With that said, ...

You and your family need to get this so-called medical procedure outlawed.

GMOs
Sounds like a great advancement in medicine.

But, ...

It also has the potential to be abused.

Illegal
I understand the Sheriff's point, but all the elected officials have o do is replace him.

Killer Drones
Folks, ... for the past, say, twenty years, we have clamored for the military to protect our Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians, from any threat, so we are going to get Terminator-type robots because they will save the lives of our Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians.

Mistake?
That's fucked up!

With that said, ...

Bullets don't care whether you're the good guy or not

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez
What's your point?

Because, ...

They're both dumber than a box of rocks

Pensions
Don't plan on collecting one.

QuickTrip
Can you say, ... Hard Target

The 'Rich'
There are many reasons for a house fire, faulty wiring, improperly placed burning candles, children playing with matches, and ... The list is almost endless.

But, ...

Four dead from gunshot wounds and a house fire.

Somebody was sending a message

Saudi Arabia
Told you so

Schools
Wow, ... Just Wow.

Social Credit
The article failed to mention that some other despots are considering implementing these programs in their countries.

So, ...

Expect to see talk about implementing a Social Credit system here in these United States.

The Table
If any of my elected representatives are reading this, ...

Y'all better vote for a Republican candidate and let the Democrats show their true colors to these United States.

Tesla
Can you say, ...

Government Supported Ponzi Scheme

Vaccination
The children are lucky; it wasn't an outbreak of Diphtheria, Polio, Whooping Cough, or one of the other, formerly, devastating childhood diseases.


Overheard

"So no. We’re not giving up our weapons."

"We're going to come to a point where we're going to start pushing messages out to our colleagues: 'Risk-assess it dynamically and, if you think you can't detain a person, just let them go.'

"After all, Christ Himself told his followers to arm themselves."

"The United States military is in the weakest state of material strength and readiness since the conclusion of the Cold War. The conventional ground forces of the Army have been transformed into a force bent on occupation and counterinsurgency. Its heavy armored formations are in a state of disrepair and material inferiority vis-a-vis its most capable theoretical adversaries. The cornerstone of American power projection and intimidation, the aircraft carrier strike groups, are a sad shadow of their former self. The carrier air wing, the entire reason that an aircraft carrier exists in the first place, has devolved into a tool of increasingly limited utility, with an ever diminishing reach."

"... he is still the same man ..."

"The United States is a country consumed by anxiety. This has been true for a very long time. But it's getting worse."

"I say to them, we have to do better as a company."

"The truth is, black crime rates went up in areas where Black Lives Matter was active, because the white cops were simply unwilling to do the job that was necessary to control the ghettos. Many simply moved to other jobs, while the supply of new recruits dried up, leaving these police departments woefully undermanned. On the other hand, the blacks who have made it through the gates are reminded of the reality of their situation. They know that in order to avoid this, they must accept this. That’s the source of their anger."
