Greetings and Salutations!
Needed a serious break for the past few…
Between managing the InLaws, their Air Conditioning issues (still ongoing) the House cleanup (still ongoing) and money issues (who’s getting paid and how much? type of things)… I haven’t been able to ‘manage the bandwidth’ mentally like I usually do.
That and due to the potential upcoming sporkiness, I haven’t had a drink since the Hurricane(s). Booze is the last thing I need right now but fortunately/unfortunately, it’s the ‘synaptic lubricant’ that helps get the writers block get pushed out.
I’m only able to hammer this out as there’s a bit of quiet time this A.M.
Call it The Quiet Before The Storm Aye?
Not sure where we’re headed, but no matter what, we’re in some s-l-o-o-o-o-w ride downhill… the whole quote from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel ‘The Sun Also Rises’….that’s the one where a character named Mike responds to a question about how he went bankrupt with the line, “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly…”
OUR “suddenly” is purely going to suck no matter what
My rationale is that “Heritage ‘Muricans” as /ourguys/ like to call ourselves? The majority of ‘normie tier’ folks are utterly incapable of doing anything that used to be taken for granted just 50 years ago.
Damned near no one out there knows how to change a tire, never mind maintain a vehicle under austere circumstances. Most think the meat they eat comes from a supermarket and have never participated in the nasty-assed ‘harvesting’ of an animal of any size.
Hell, the biggest animal I ever “worked on” was at a ‘Pig Pickin’ back at Fort Campbell with my rodeo buddies… I used to hang out with a bunch of the clowns (literally!) at the Red Roper which was a really good Country and Western bar back in Clarksville oh so long ago… damned near puked when we gutted that fucker… a hog has a lotta guts let me tell ya… and the stink? Hooo-WEEEE!
You think anyone even knows what goes into doing that ‘stuff’? Never mind the practical application? Or even when to safely harvest certain game? Any asshole can go out in the woodline with a rifle and start shooting
But in the long run, this way lies ruin.
IF and only IF we run into a Mad Max societal breakdown that somehow does NOT have a mass casualty event to begin with there sure as hell will be one within what I figure will be about 2-3 months after.
My rationale for it is that initially people are going to be the ‘typical American’… for the most part, we band together to help each other out in a crisis… see Western North Carolina as a shining example…
However…
In a full on economic collapse (which IMO is where we’re headed) and there’s no more money period fucking dot which means no more goods… i.e. gas/food/the “usual stuff”/jobs that all too many people here in the States have had, and take for granted, to the point that most fucking people think it’s a God Damned Right and not a Privilege to have all this “stuff” at the literal drop of a hat.
I see it ALLLLLLL the time at the Glorious People’s Tractor Factory. Clients get highly pissed off when I try mind you try to tell them that the process for them to receive a lot of their ‘widgets’ takes 10 to 15 business days to process, and even then that’s an optimal outcome. Mind you I then have to translate ‘business days’ into “that means usually a month plus or minus…”
They tend to get bent out so badly I’ve taken to calling it “The Amazon Effect” or “The Prime Problem”. The Bezosbot, because he did revolutionize getting ‘stuff’ from Point ‘A’ to Point ‘B’ in damned near record time (24-48 hours sometimes depending on location and type of ‘stuff’) he created something of a monster. People have unfortunately become spoiled fucking rotten with this, and now expect EVERYTHING no matter how small or petty to be handled right here and right fucking now, OR ELSE!
Which then leads us to what I was speaking of… it’s pretty much that initially everyone is going to try to help each other out.
That being with the exception of the “Blue Hives” i.e. Large Urban Cities, which will go full on CHUD within 2 weeks is my guess. CHUD being from that 1984 movie so named, which stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers… underground human based mutants that eat other humans…
However, during this time period, we’ll see a new version of “The Golden Horde” also known as “The Free Shit Army” also known as “Muh Gibsmedat!” going mobile and headed out up major interstates, literally like a colossal horde of locusts, eating everything if not everyone who stands in their way.
Which also means that the woodline?
Once people start running out of ‘canned stuff’?
It’ll be stripped bare within the aforementioned 2-3 months.
Mind you I’m not worried about Bambi and the Gang. Critters have been pretty good about learning how to avoid folks… that being said, we will see a drastic drop in available wildlife for quite a spell, followed on by quite an even MORE drastic dropoff in Hoomon Beans.
In fact a year or two after, when the smoke clears, I’m figuring that there will be a huge swath of deforestation in certain areas that get below freezing on the regular from wood being cut for firewood (nevermind it takes up to a year for wood to really be useful as firewood, but like I said, people don’t know these things), as well as the subsequent finding of massive amounts of skeletons in makeshift ‘survivalist camps’ and ‘stuff’ from idiots who think ‘heading to the hills’ will be their salvation.
Heading into the woodline with ZERO skills is just begging for a slow drawn out death via disease, starvation and/or vitamin deficiency. Sure you might have been a Eagle Scout… you may even have some basic knowledge. It all comes down to so many things, that I truly don’t believe that many have what it takes (including myself) to survive a full on Max Max World.
Add on that the immediate aftermath here in the US of ALL the psychotropic drugs being cut off within 30-90 days of said-disaster?
Oh Holy Hells No.
People right now are almost completely out of control. Urban Yoofs chimping out all over the place is bad enough… now just imagine adding in alllllll of them AWFLs (Affluent White Female Liberals aka Auntie Box-Wine/Cat Ladies) who start running out of their head-meds and box wine?
Can you say “Chaos on an Utterly EPIC Scale”?
I maintain that we need to keep our eyes open, ears to the ground. There’ll be plenty of ‘signs and portents’ of things to come. A couple that I prognosticate are certain elements of the DotGov ‘going on extended absences’ or taking junkets to places like New Zealand and the like…
The DotMil upping security for ‘no good reason’ as is the case currently at Fort Drum in New York. Per Reddit:
…which a few comments followed:
…and this:
So, from here on out, the “New Norm” is locking DotMil bases down tighter that a ticks ass? The only time(s) I can remember things being -that- locked down was during legit ‘enemy’ (i.e. overseas actor) threats.
Now a couple of comments claim it’s because there’s a ‘new Sherriff in town’ i.e. a new MP Unit on base and they’re ‘flexing’… but to me? It doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense. The actions being taken are at a whole different level in that they seem to be targeting people going ON TO the base (i.e. making sure the guy driving on is ACTUALLY the guy driving on) and ‘stuff’ being supposedly sent/mailed onto the base… which is weird…
To my mind, and my analysis is pretty good usually, it sounds like they’re worried about ‘internal bad actors’ maybe? Infiltrators possibly? Lord knows we’ve had enough nutbars try at ‘take the gate’ with truck and other types of assaults at various DotMil facilities lately. However, that being said, the fact that they seem to be doing a LOT of internal sweeps and overwatch makes me wonder just how nervous the brass is about internal threats?
This is a data point either way.
Then, Hollywierd.
Isn’t in interesting that damned near ALL the celebutards/adult pretenders who came out and started huffing and puffing and endorsing Cackles The Drunken Clown were either ALL part of the Epstein Air Logs on the “Lolita Express” and/or part of and present for Sean “Dead Man Walking” Combs aka Diddy’s “freakoff” parties? Seems the ‘dual threat’ ones, meaning on BOTH the Lolita Express logs AND the “freakoff” party list(s) were some of the earliest endorsers of Cackles.
I report, you decide.
I mean our boy from Bawston, Ben Affleck bailed from J-Lo just before Diddy got busted. I mean according to sources, our lil Jennie-Poo was a major procurer for the Diddster. It’s so bad that she literally up and ran out during an autograph session/paparazzi lovefest promoting her latest flop….er…. film… Link HERE I of course can’t find the pic now, but when sumdood yelled out the question: ““J. Lo, do you have any comments about P. Diddy and the allegations?” the picture that got snapped was awesome.
It combined terror/horror and shock all at once.
No wonder she ran like Hell
It’s ‘cos she’s guilty as Hell.
Keep an eye on ‘other wired-in folks’ there.
If they start –suddenly– pulling up and bailing, there’s another sign. In fact if you read the dailies like I do, you can actuially see that a LOT of the saner /ourguy/ actors and actresses in the past year or so have ‘quit the biz’ and bailed to the country, as they know that Hollyweird will burn when the shytte hits the atmospheric oscillation device.
It came really close during the whole L.A. Riots aka the Reginald Denny Assault. Fuck Rodney King…. that chimp got what he deserved IMO. Hollyweird was that close to being razed tot he ground. In fact, my thought is it might have been a good thing if it had, mainly because the best way to convert someone from being a liberal is to have them get raped/robbed/beaten by a minority that they’re oh so fond of championing normally. The NIMBY factor is why the majority of these ‘tards keep doing the stupid social justice virtue-signaling that they do…
They almost never have to come face-to-face with those who they force onto others.
So when you see them heading for safety zones, you know the time is close(er).
So that’s what I got.
More Later
Head on a Swivel
Big Country
I’m hoping that at least half of those will An Hero, but there will still be a lot of them. Especially women.
I’m so far out in the boonies that the closest town, almost a half hour away, is so small it doesn’t even have a stop light.
I doubt that the gimmies from the cities will make it this far, but I do see a several local threats.
1) Locals who have made no effort to prepare, this includes GWOT Vets who sit around smoking weed and hanging out on Socialist websites.
2) Our County Sheriff Deputies, most of whom have never taken the oath, put on a real uniform or served a day in this Country’s defense. Those deputies are vicious and like to turn simple “disturbing the peace” type calls into major events that they can use for training exercises, ie. going in through the woods, surrounding the home of a middle aged woman and terrorizing her for hours.
3) Hunters who come here every Fall and set up their “deer camps” on the local Forest Service roads. They are a problem now, but if they make it here looking to survive on the remaining bambies, it won’t take long for them to start raiding the homes of locals looking for something to eat or someone to rape.
Hate to say it, but I hope that when “it” happens we have at least knee-deep snow and the roads don’t get plowed.
Good observations and that comes from a GWOT veteran that was looking forward to smoking weed in retirement
I hate that all the Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies, and Tom n Jerry cartoons have gotten the ax due to political correctness. Not to mention that Ole Grand Army of the Republic Veteran Uncle Remus who was cancelled because idiot liberals don’t speak Gulla.
Zippedee do dah. Zippedee Day.
Early voted 2 weekends ago. So locked down for tonight. Florida, heavily armed as it is, will be an interesting place to be. My guess is the military is getting their shit squared away in anticipation of a Trump victory. Lots of Generals that went along with the LGBT/DEI shit will have their heads on the chopping block. That and maybe getting ready to take part in a city Chimp Shoot. Got to enforce discipline.
I would make it your highest priority to get that place bought in Tennessee with the inlaws and get ready for the show if you can Brother
..
Based on its position in a border region, thought crosses my mind that maybe, just maybe, they are getting ready to help all of those New Yorkers trying to flee the country if Trump wins, or to help with the influx of new rapeugees waiting on the other side of the border if cummala wins.

The hog butchering. I’ve thought about this for a long time. They have robotics that perform surgery on people now. You mean to tell me they can’t set up a meat processing plant with robotics? Imagine how much more hygienic that would be. Imagine how much cheaper it would be to operate? So why do they import the illegal peoples to work in these places if it could be done cheaper and safer by robots. Well we all know the answer to that.
The military police and access to military bases. Strictly speaking of CONUS bases all you need to do is get a Dominoes Pizza uniform, a bag that you put the pizzas in to keep them hot and a few pizza pies. The guards will just let you roll through. The Dominoes pizza guy rolls through the base gates 50 times a day I suppose. No special pass needed. The guards see the pizza guy all day everyday he just gets waved on in. I know from experience
I ordered a piece of heavy shop equipment during Amazon’s Prime Days last month. Got a good price and free shipping, which was promised to be November 13th.
So I go on vacation, and the damned thing was delivered less than a week later. I’m really going to miss things like this. Fortunately my neighbor, a goid guy, took it in and kept it for me.
I’ve already figured which neighbors get the stash of handheld radios I have in stock, and have identified those who might be problematic in a SHTF situation. Your earlier post on mapping out your AO was good advice.
Preppers might get through this next round of The Troubles, but it would be better to look to the longer-run with a bit of land and homesteading skills.
Bless your heart BCE
Good stuff, and may Bambi and Thumper and Peanut all get a break from the tier 2 hooman beans when the shite comes down
Got to wonder what dot.mil thinks those fit 10 thousand military age men per month for about the last year plan to do when the bugle calls Assembly.
It be what it be. I have a contingency plan however flawed it may be.
I have no faith in the system. I didn’t vote and never will again. It’s fake, gay and retarded.
Every national congressman or senator we send to the capitol votes against their constituents interests in favor of Israel.
I bought more ammo Friday. I will buy two more guns tomorrow if I see the winds blowing the way I expect. I would like three but budget restrictions.
Hog gutting, along with deer, squirrel (sorry peanut) and rabbit ain’t purty but neither are the greens growing in my garden. Meats, meat, pilgrim.
Regarding the base lockdowns, I’m going to put on my tin foil hat and wildly speculate.
1. As someone else said, Trump wins and all of the DEI officers and traitors to their oath are scared and will be picked up and jailed therefore bases locked down.
2. They are worried about unrest after the election and locked down the base for security and if they have to mobilize the troops.
3. The Kamel “wins” after stealing the election, Those really running things behind the scenes are terrified of a Civil War. Remember what happened at the start of Civil War I, Generals and whole units rebelled and raided armories for weapons. Almost all of the Confederate weapons at the start of the war were originally “property of the US Army”.
4. The Kamel steals the election and she has publicly said “In my 1st hundred days if Congress doesn’t act, I’ll sign an executive order and begin gun confiscation”.
How’s that gonna go over ? Remember this bitch is to the left of Bernie Sanders.
No matter what happens it’s gonna be interesting.
For those who want to read a good book about what happens during a societal collapse (in this case an EMP), read William Forstchen’s “One Second After”. Talk about frigging GRIM.
FYI that government studies have shown that if that happened 90% of Americans will be dead in a year and few will survive east of the Mississippi. The population is too high and there is nowhere to hide from the hordes from the cities and gangs. Those who survive will be out West up in the Rockies away from everyone.
Hog killing day meant Chitlins the next Day. Pork guts didn’t keep long.
