So what’s your plan of attack when big brother rolls out the A-10 warthog on you ??????
It depends on who you really are off the keyboard.
It’s a decision tree:
Live on your knees…
Die on your feet…
Prep to become a guerilla and eventually do both.
Nobody lives forever.
Back in the day we had a phrase in the Grunts…Payback is a motherfucker.
Even an A-10 Warthog pilot has to go home or to the store or someplace alone sooner or later.
Good answer, Mark.
And he has a family living among us
I want Mark on my side for sure.

2025 Civil War 2: Updated United States Marine Hymn
From the Halls of Montezuma
To set the Commie Left Coast free
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea
First to fight to return our Revolution’s freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
Across our fruited plain’s setting sun
We have fought in every state and place
Where we could take a gun
In the snow of far off Alaska lands
And in sunny Florida scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines
Here is my favorite from back in the day:
Eternal Father grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day
The courage, honor, strength and skill
Their land to serve thy lawful will
Be thou the shield for evermore
From every peril to the Corps
To think the Federal Reserve informs Congress they strive to achieve this inflation rate as a ‘target’ (which is really a tax). To me its a violation of the constitution since only Congress has the authority to tax.
I Googled this:
http://www.in2013dollars.com/1932-dollars-in-2018?amount=20
U.S. Inflation Rate, $20 in 1932 to 2018
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2018 are 1,732.90% higher than average prices throughout 1932. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 3.44% per year during this period.
In other words, $20 in 1932 is equivalent in purchasing power to $366.58 in 2018, a difference of $346.58 over 86 years. The 1932 inflation rate was -9.87%. The inflation rate in 2018 was 2.44%.
I was wondering who owned the debt in this country, the national debt, the anywhere from 75 trillion to 202 trillion numbers bandied about. I certainly didn’t incur this debt, no one I know did either. In fact, the ‘debt’ is technically owed to the Federal Reserve. They charge a 2% interest on monies they loan to the government. Now, where does the Fed get that money? It has the Treasury print it. So the government borrows money from a private organization. Why does the government do this when it is written that the congress shall be in charge of coining the money of the realm and the Treasury shall act at their behest.
1913 saw the creation of the Federal Reserve and your cash ain’t been nothing but trash ever since. .
C’mon man … you should know this. ‘They’ do this because we have owners. Figure out who owns the Federal Reserve and there is your answer. In essence … ‘someone’ is getting paid on currency units that were created out of thin air. There was a youtube video on this website yesterday …. the bulk of this country’s founding fathers were freemasons. The fix has been in since 1776. I know its painful to admit, but this has all been in the works for a long, long time.
It was posited as a rhetorical question.
But check out the value of a dollar in 1789 versus the power of a dollar in 1913 . . . then do the math re: the period in which the value, er, devaluated:
https://www.officialdata.org/1789-dollars-in-1913?amount=1
Congress, 06 July 1785

The creature from Jekyll Island and War is a Racket then read the TBP article regarding Gladio .
This will tell you all you need to know about who what why where and when the deep state took control of what was a republic
Operation Gladio is still a mystery to most. The books cited must be read, and even then, there’s a lot more to the story. Nothing short of a genuine uprising of the plebs (you, I, and everyone else here) will put an end to the present financier-dominated global system unless they put an end to us first.
I’m from a multi-generational “Fed” family and the scheme was explained to me by my grandfather and again by (his son) my father, both of whom were strongly anti-internationalist, but both of whom took the money and ran, as did my nepotistically-placed stepbrother, although he didn’t run far. I parleyed this knowledge and used it in the private sector, being bilingual (Spanish) and cynical; I also checked out of the USA because of said cynicism. Unless and until John/Jane Q Public bites the bullet and revolts against the monumental fraud that is the “Fed”, things can only get worse in the USA. I’m 72 and not even in my worst nightmares did I envision anything like what’s happened to the country of my birth. The lion’s share of the blame belongs to the international financiers and their willing allies who foisted the “Fed” on to a naive public, but that same public must swallow their share of the blame for being to lazy/comfortable to listen to such as the late Louis McFadden.
Wake up, folks, before the “Fed” and its owners put a pillow over your face.
Montefrio,
I have been sending pithy Reader’s Digest abridged versions of cartoons, articles, quotes, hard hitting snippets as well as full length versions (book reviews & video links) and with some I have sent the actual books you mentioned and many others, explaining the FED scheme…ad nauseam…to my inner circle of family and friends for about 15 years.
When I talk with many of them in person it is obvious a few are now ‘WOKE’ when it comes to Bankster reality but to be honest…most will soon be ‘BROKE’ because they are still just one of a massive number of sheeple people in the pen…heading towards the Bankster slaughter house.
I have been inside about 50 to 55 beef, hog and chicken slaughter houses from 2002 to when I retired in 2015, in the southeast and midwest as a Loss Prevention Consultant. My job was to figure out and stop those who were stealing from the Vending Machines and the industrial cafeterias in these sometimes enormous cement island castles that were filled with mostly people not born here, up to 5,000 of them in one complex.
I was extremely successful and have visited the underbelly of many slaughter houses…having known the smell and visiting the Kill Floor occasionally…just to keep the death edge…the grit and the toughness in a soft country.
At the ripe age of 69 I look around and I see the country I was raised in, fought in its name for, LOVE, as a giant slaughter house…most of its native born people mooing, snorting or clucking.
Your post slapped me hard in the face. Your family were Banksters…but you made your way out. My family were Irish coal miners (16 tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt) and Italian bad asses who (at first) killed to make money…then the next generation sold insurance, fought in two wars, and melted into the pot…I too made my way out.
You said”

You are correct sir…I am trying…we all must try. Paul Revere (or at least the story) is a worthy ride.
THE KILLING OF UNCLE SAM
Mark, thanks for the link. Just got the book; always something more to be learned. Hope it covers the BIS, the apex of the bureaucratic pyramid of finance.
I’m a few years older than you and I sometimes wonder if one has to get to this age to fully understand just where the real power lies and how it’s implemented in nearly every area of life. Like you, I’ve tried for years to explain what I know of this very important topic, but mostly to no avail. And, like you, I’ve retreated to a rural area, pared down consumption to a high degree, made an effort to become more and more self-sufficient and enjoy the simple pleasures that abound if we take the time to notice and appreciate them.
I don’t live in the USA, haven’t for the past 21 years., but the little hill village in which I live reminds me of certain parts of the USA of my long-ago childhood with respect to the sort of folks who also live here, save that they don’t speak English. Then too, my son and grandchildren are here living 60 yards away, so that alone…
I wish I could have seen my way to have stayed in the USA, but reading Robert Prechter’s Crest of the Tidal Wave back in ’95 made me question the wisdom of that, so I cashed out, decided to roll the dice and headed out to start a new life aimed at approximate self-sufficiency in an inexpensive place to buy land, build a house,etc. So far, so good! Here’s hoping it stays that way for us both!
Montefrio,
My brother from another Father & Mother! What a wise and compelling path you have chosen following the beat of your own drum! Besides that move took grit.
‘The Killing of Uncle Sam’ is an outstanding book…5 Stars, the reviews do it justice, over a 1,000 footnotes. I am going to send the link with a one on one recommendation to many I care about and give it as a gift to many others. I am not going to stop playing Paul Revere with the truth, warning them to open their eyes about their stolen country/government/money (and prepare for TSHTF that is coming) to those I care about and love.
I don’t see U.S. ‘taking our country back’ or ‘returning to a pre-1913 America’. I see U.S. being removed from the world stage as a superpower through eventual Civil War, economic implosion, war, grid down, or all of the above. Trump is better than Jezebel but its obvious the Zionists have him firmly in their camp.
The International Crime Families and Game of Thrones rage on.
I suspect the 2020’s will be one of the most chaotic decades in our entire history as Agenda 2030 relentlessly spreads like the demonic cancer it is. Those are the most logical reasons the U.S. plays no important role in prophecy. My goal is to prepare and control what I can…my homestead/farm…and help those around me see what is coming and prepare…spiritually first then in all the other ways. The single word I embrace is: STEADFAST.
Everything changed for me at 43 in 93 when I (overnight) became a Born Again Christian. Everyone was shocked…especially me. For years after my nose was just in the Bible…then I did what Solomon did and asked for wisdom. Talk about scales falling off! It was a bitter hard experience as I was a super American patriot, passionate anti-Communist having volunteered to fight as a Grunt in 68 at 18 and had watched the majority of my company killed or wounded (in more than just the physical) in Nam.
When I read ‘War is a Racket” by the greatest Marine who ever lived I was devastated.
I don’t fault anyone who leaves the country…that is a personal decision and the fact you have your immediate family with you is outstanding!
I’m being very intentional about my health and physical condition besides my prep as I hope to be around to provide a self-sufficient farm with two homes, a one room cabin and possibly an RV) for my family for what is coming the next decade. If it gets as ugly as it may, my ‘Last Stand’ will be a refuge for me.
Best to you and yours buddy. Keep your powder dry.
From the 1913 dollar there is less than .04 cents of value in todays dollar.
The amount of gold it took to purchase a car in 1932 will still purchase a car today. Gold has intrinsic value and is immune to the effects of inflation, as the Federal Reserve cannot inflate the value of gold.
Simple economics…
Umm, except that once upon a time an ounce of gold was $32.00. What is it today?
The math still works…
In 1932, a car cost approximately the equivalent of 15 ounces of gold or $480.00 .
Today, a car worth $19,500.00 can be purchased for the same 15 ounces of gold at $1300.00 per ounce.
Gold has intrinsic value and is immune to inflation…
You’re buying a car that has inflated in value. Your $480 car is now costing almost $20k. You paid inflated dollars to buy that gold. Your gold cost is inflated too. So what if it takes fifteen coins to buy that product, you had to pay lots more than what said gold cost in 1932 to acquire the gold coins today.
As to gold price, all precious metals are manipulated. Comex and others have confessed to manipulating both paper and gold values. Truth be told, gold should cost lots more than it does today. It is a store of value but that is predicated on circumstances. Look at what FDR did to the gold, made it illegal to own except as jewelry.
Not only did FDR confiscate gold, he purchased it at around $20.00 per ounce, and almost immediately put it on the bank restricted market for $35.00 per ounce. What a scam…
Your first statement makes my case…
You are correct that currency value of gold is inflated. However, I stand by my statement that the same amount of gold that would buy a car in 1932 will buy a car today. Don’t forget all of the “add ons” that are mandated by government on today’s cars, increasing the initial cost, as well.
Regards
Rethink.
Once upon a time it only took 32 fiat currency notes to secure an oz. of gold.
Today, it takes approximately 1,350 faith based, backed by nothing but a promise, pieces of colored paper to secure a 1 oz. coin; a small, stable, durable, portable, divisible store of wealth recognized around the world for + 2000 years.
Your issuers of fiat are raping everybody, by stealth inflation and currency debasement.
Those things, backed by a bankrupt government, are still used, even in digital form, as our means of transaction.
You just need many more of them nowadays, vs. ‘once upon a time’
Once upon a time my rags-to-riches grandfather buried his gold store when FDR pulled his stunt. He passed away before it was time to dig it up. His son (my father) and I cashed it out in the $600-$700 range in the ’80s and were living abroad when the U$D was still strong. Whoopee!
Now? I have very little U$D cash, but I have productive tangibles, the legacy I’ve chosen to leave to my posterity. In a genuine, serious financial/economic crisis in this day and age, my fear is that even gold will not be sufficiently fungible.
ironic that andrew jackson, the face on the $20 federal reserve note, shut down the second american central bank. banksters are cheeky bastards.

Yeah, but who the hell wants 675 dozen eggs?
Waffle House?
Cool Hand Luke can eat those eggs in… 13 1/2 hours.
Ponder this too.
In 1932 the average pay was .46/hr. So it took and I’m rounding this off a little, about 9+ full working days to buy 1oz of gold.
Taking what I’m making now at Wal-Mart, it takes 9+ days to buy 1oz of gold. Give or take a hair.
Also some one has noted that the price of gold has been manipulated by TPTB with zillions of shorts. I agree a 100%. Gold has been hovering around $1300/oz for over 10 years. Absolute BS. I remember a brief period before whoever is doing this got stared when gold was really rising. They sure put a stop to that.
The meme/infographic should be updated to add a column. What the 1932 $20 0.9675 OZ gold piece could buy in 1932. (or if that is what was meant to be in the column, what that double eagle can buy now, but make it clear).
