Greetings and Salutations!
We have a winner!
IF said winner allows I’ll name him here. I’m waiting on FFL Info for him. If you haven’t heard from me, I have to thank you for the entries, but y’all didn’t win this time. Maybe the next time around.
I’ve also asked that when the Winner gets said Rifle if’n he’d send me a pic of him with it, and maybe a review of it I’d appreciate it. I want a third-party outsider’s POV of shewtin’ one of these refurbs I’m doing.
Speaking of which, I’m still waiting on them damned brass screw pins to fix that broken stock. Until I get that/them I’m literally at a stand-still. Otherwise, I’ve just been worn out as of late.
Sapper’s son and Gran made it out safely on Wednesday. It’s then the whole ‘clean up the wreckage’ and the house overall as the place was/is a wreck. Finding lots of little piles of ‘stuff’ …water bottles, food wrappers and the like from where the kid hid his stuff rather than throwing it away… Not that it’s unusual… just unexpected.
Catching Chili with ‘things the puppy should NOT be chewing on’ like OUR Gran’s dolls/stuffies and such because Sapper’s Gran had taken them out, and not secured them… one of which I had to replace and THANK GOD for eBay… One of them which I -did not- catch on time was her favorite pink bunny rabbit stuffie.
By the time I caught her, the puppy had effectively blinded the poor thing by eating the eyes off of it. As well as the majority of it’s face. And it’s an older model… hence why finding it on eBay was a key factor… ‘gently used’ was a plus and $19 w/free shipping? Yeah… express that fucker to me ASAP. It got here and she was thankfully unaware of “Ye Olde Switcheroo”
Thank the Good Lord for smol favors Aye?
Hence why I’ve been exhausted.
As of late, I’ve been in full on “nonstop running around putting out fucking fires” mode. Like “hair-on-fucking-fire” running around. Plus working full time at People’s Glorious Tractor Factory, which thankfully, we’re in the between-season lull which has allowed me some flexibility with getting minor issues handled around here.
Tomorrow I have to dig out the lawn mower to get the jungle under control… the HOA went from hitting me with a violation for “bare spots” on the lawn” to “Yer shit is overgrown and looks like Vietnam!”
“Make up yer fookin’ mind!” said Steven the Irishman.
Amen to that.
We were going to do it early this AM< however, since we haven’t had any rain for the past few weeks, of COURSE the morning I have yardwork to do, it rained like a MoFo…
So anyways, it’s time to get into the groove and issue a bit of a red flag warning I’m seeing.
Tonight there’s an article on the Daily Fail, BritLand’s premier bird cage liner. I know they consider it a tabloid, and because of the amount of celebutard stuff they cover, I’m inclined to agree.
HOWEVER
One thing about it is they have a hell of a lot of real stories that get barely a mention here in OUR Ministries of Lies and Propaganda which allow an analyst like myself to get a better idea of what’s happening by the LACK of news here on our side. If they run it, and there’s absolutely ZERO mention of it here, well, I’ll cross reference it, and if I get two or more confirmations, it means whatever is happening, well… if OUR asshole Enemedia aren’t talking about it, it probably means that they don’t want to spook the Sheepole.
So hence we got this:

This’s the guy that the movie “The Big Short” was based on back in 2008 for predicting the big 07/08 stock wipeout. He made $800 MILLION during that timeframe. Currently, his holdings are this:

As the cool kids say “follow the money”
Twitter is blowing up all over the place about this too… That’s enough for me to take notice as this being a potentially significant problem/warning.
And since I don’t have a pot to piss in, well… most of us don’t, what -I- take from this is home-boi is positioning himself to make a LOT of dinero when the market takes a gigantic shit all over again.
In the extremely near future is my guess.
Add on that Warren Buffett’s moves as of late?
I’m barely cognizant of shit in the market, HOWEVER my training, experiences and ability to see patterns tells me things are getting a wee bit ‘squirrelly’ in the market. Hell… my Ex-FIL and Uncle In Law never forgave me for calling the dot-com bubble busting back 3 months before it actually happened. I told them flat the fuck out to get out of the market ASAP if they were smart…
They looked at me like I was retarded, as I was only a recently medically retired grunt with ZERO market experience/education nor any investing experience… I can’t blame them per se from their POV…
All I had was some data points that screamed at me that the ‘dot com’ “Thing” was about to take a shit… one of the biggest warnings to me was the IPO for “Doctor Koop Dot Com”…
When drkoop.com went public at $9 per share in 1999, the company raised $88.5 million and was ranked as the top health care content site on the internet. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop founded the website during the height of the Dot Com bubble, and a partnership with AOL soon had the stock trading at an all-time high of $45.75 per share.
In 1999, drkoop.com reported about 1.4 million unique visitors per month. When the Dot Com bubble burst, drkoop.com was one of its many victims. Investors were skeptical of health care websites that relied on advertising revenue. Drkoop.com reported tens of millions of losses per quarter throughout 2000. The company declared bankruptcy in December 2001, less than three years after its IPO.

When I heard about the whole ‘drkoop dot com’ thing, I was like yeaaaah…. “there’s yer sign…”
My reasoning for this was I at the time was working one of my first post-DotMil jobs at a “Bricks-to-Clicks” company that was making websites for companies… like BIG companies… HUUUUGE ones… and the business model, from an insider’s point of view was fucked…
I mean it was bad-bad…
I was working for a company that was essentially selling webpages that an experienced basement dwelling troll with mad HTML skills could put together, and that the majority of these dot-com websites were doomed ultimately to fail. Hell… my own company was a prime example of heady dot-com excess… pizza and beer every. single. Friday Afternoon for ALL staff… elaborate parties… top end office furniture… like ALL of us had Hermann-Miller Aeron chairs ($1200 a throw, and I still have mine, and you bet your ass when I got laid off I stole that fucker…) I mean they rented out the ENTIRE Roxy in Boston for the corporate Halloween party with open bar ALL NIGHT!
So yeah, I got laid off by the end of 2000.
Good experiences, and good friends, but damn if it wasn’t a fucking circus the whole time. I knew that the dot-com ‘thing’ was going to blow up. I tried to tell the ILs but hey, what did I know?
I was right of course.
Sort of like when I see a dude who made $800 mil the last go-around shorting shit hard and other ‘things’ telling me that things are about to go weird? Well… When The Going Gets Weird, the Weird Turn Pro… (thank Dr. Hunter S. for that quote).
So I’m going long in MOR ammo and canned goods, as well as MREs. The MRE’s being still exceptionally cheap considering the normal price… Link HERE

I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t intentional in a way
As in ‘they’ (without knowing who ‘they’ may be) don’t or can’t come right out and say “Hey y’all, the shit is most def aboot to hit the oscillation device, so best you get yourself prepped ASAP as food is going to be an issue sooner, rather than later!”
Since that’s not allowed, I think they’re dumping soooooomany MREs that even normies are buying them. The r/MRE board has been questioning it hard as to the rationale and logistics behind it as well… Seeing that the majority of these were manufactured as the war was winding down 4+ years ago, there shouldn’t be this much surplus available, as if there’s ONE THING to DotMil normally gets right is food logistics… call it the ‘food actuarial tables’…. “X” amount of troops DotMil wide, with “Y” amount of possible field time equals “Z” projected MRE needs”
This’s literally unheard of.
I mean never have I seen TWO cases for $76 w/free shipping. Hell, when I was on Active duty, a case at the commissary (if you didn’t have a ‘hookup’ with supply to get you some) a case of MREs ran $50 a throw per case. That was in 1996!!!!!!!
Mayhaps a “down low” Civil Defense thing???
Hard to say these days.
I know I just ordered ANOTHER Set of Cases and will be getting ANOTHER Set of Cases on Friday of this coming week on payday. The next stop is CostCo for a recharge on Paper Towels and Toilet Paper. Believe it or not, and I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but we’re finally getting to the bottom of the COVID Stockpile I laid in back in 2020.
When that shit started, Sapper and I dropped about $400 on Charmin and Bounty. The BIIIIG Honking Packs… That was before anyone had an idea that this was going to become a ‘thing’. To a point we actually had to send out care packages to the Parental Units as they didn’t have a back up to their normal stockpile when the retardation went into “Ludicrous Stupid”. We actually had to box up and mail shitpaper and paper towels. To be honest, that’s when it went from “Ludicrous” to “Plaid”…
So make of it what you will.
That’s what I got tonight.
More Later
