Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
The death of the faithless state is as natural and lovely as a melting snowflake…All the broken things will start to be fixed. And all the crazy things will go away, immediately. —another one from Curtis Yarvin
Can our country begin to get its head screwed back on with the midterm election? The cynicism ‘out there’ is monumental. Even if the perfidious Party of Chaos gets thrashed unto near death at the polls, awful pitfalls and frightful quandaries await whatever regime coalesces into a legislative majority of the center and right.
And there remains in place the ghastly figure of “Joe Biden,” the waxwork “president” fronting the coterie of Jacobin crazies still aiming to drag Western Civ into the dumpster of history. One thing a congressional committee might probe posthaste: who exactly has been running the executive branch for two years? My guess would be Barack Obama by way of Susan Rice, Director of the Domestic Policy Council (office in the White House) whose activities are never, ever discussed in the news media. In fact, her mere presence is unacknowledged. I doubt that one-in-a-thousand people in Times Square could tell you who she is and what she does. How many times a day is Ms. Rice on-the-horn with the Gentleman of Kalorama? Are there logs of her calls? Does she use an endless supply of cheap untraceable burner phones? Or does she limo across town regularly to get orders in person?
Is there some penalty for running a shadow government, perhaps something in the sedition or treason folders of federal law? The degree of malign policy coordination throughout Western Civ also suggests that outside actors exert some heavy influence on our affairs. Is Mr. Obama running “Joe Biden” according to a WEF playbook, as appears to be the case with WEFfer implants Justin Trudeau of Canada and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand? It would help explain how so many measures and actions outside our national interest have played out lately — the Gestapo-ization of the FBI, the overt censorship, the wide-open border, draining the strategic petroleum reserve, the drag queen shindigs, the foolish effort to “weaken” Russia in Ukraine, the climate change hysteria, the fiscal idiocy, and everything about-and-around Covid-19.
Of course, the rule-of-law has become a pitifully squishy thing in our time. Nobody is accountable for anything these days. The federal agencies can act however they like in the way of persecuting their political opponents, or inflicting immense harm on the public — like the CDC, FDA, and other public health agencies insanely pushing deadly mRNA vaccines on the public, despite massive evidence that the shots have killed and disabled hundreds of thousands. It’s likely that we will see aggressive hearings into all sorts or government misconduct come January, and it is important to determine who did what to drive America so badly off the rails, but that won’t mitigate the pitfalls and quandaries ahead.
There is a re-set underway for sure with every teeter of industrial civilization, but it doesn’t have to resolve on the side of high-tech tyranny and super-centralized global governance by elitist maniacs. In fact, it can’t. The bottlenecks of resources — energy, commodities, metals, all material things — plus the growing scarcity of real capital (as in representations of genuine wealth), guarantee that nothing organized at the gigantic scale will be able to continue — certainly not any global political administration. The WEF is a fantasy factory; all it can really produce is chaos and misery.
Many national governments may not survive the great discontinuities ahead. Everything we do has to get finer, smaller in scale, and more local. Many, maybe most, of our high-tech systems will be crippled by energy shortages and supply line breakdowns. The business models for everything — from the oil industry to commercial aviation to running mega-cities — no longer pencils out, And as economist Herb Stein observed years ago: things that can’t go on, stop.
Every attempt to maintain the status quo of our withering globalist arrangements will be an act of futility, including the wars that our elites seem to be yearning for. If we squander our remaining resources on kinetic conflict, that will only drag out the journey to new arrangements, destroy more lives, and break more things that still have value.
In theory, a new Congress could get rid of both “Joe Biden” and Kamala Harris via established procedure (impeachment) and install the next Speaker of the House as president — but it would require the most extreme degree of bipartisan cooperation imaginable to get convictions in the Senate.
Perhaps “JB” and the Veep could both be induced to resign. It’s certain that the Biden Family’s crimes of global bribery will be laid out in every sordid detail which, on top of his obvious incompetence, would ensure “JB’s” removal. Ms. Harris can answer for the border crisis. She was so lax and mindless in office that she didn’t even bother passing the buck on the responsibility she’d accepted for managing the border. She never even went down there to look around.
If the election actually happens — the cynical doubt it — it’ll be gratifying for sure to see a loathsome cast of characters swept away in the chem-trail of history. But the winners will have to get the country’s head screwed back on to face the tremendous task of making new arrangements for the continuation or daily life under harsh and alarming conditions. Or else the election may be the last thing we do as the country that we were.

An Election, If You Can Stomach It
Are you some kind of asshole that does not cherish what the United States is about, freedom?
“A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” ~ Lysander Spooner
https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/lysander-spooner-quotes
Lick the boots of Lysander Spooner. And vote harder.
Now just where is it pray tell, this freedom you speak of? There isn’t a damn thing that you can do that does not have the thumb print of one or more levels of government on it.
Oops, forgot the sarc switch. Ya’ll don’t get your panties in a wad.
Politics sucks in the US. “We” could be living in South Sudan. At least in the US should one choose to consume a bag of Cheetos he/she can. There are many places the populous does not even know Cheetos exist.
I was only feeling all FDT wrapping Old Glory around me seeing if it provided warmth with all the concerns about winter heating.
Strike, march, burn, vandalize , vote. Any changes?
repeat…
No one has to remind you or I there will be inevitable chaos even for Maxwell Smart.
Those Cheetos have been approved and inspected by one or more government agencies. Then you get to pay a tax to buy them.
I believe they are considered “food” in Texas and not supposed to be taxed. Craziest thing, in Louisiana the state taxes groceries. But, property taxes ain’t like they are in Texas, BBAR, Bloated Beyond All Recognition.
Freedumb. FIFY.
You don’t experience any “freedom” at all? When you start your car in the morning and drive to work, no “freedom”. Dumbass. FIFY.
If the election occurs.
If the cheating fix isn’t already in.
If the rinos take charge what then?
Likely stay the course.
If the lame duck commie dems don’t blow it all up pre change of power.
If Mitch McConnell becomes Senate majority leader.
Good luck folks.

Did Charlie ever screw Lucie?
In ’67 or ’68 I saw a t-shirt in a store window in Manhattan with a very pregnant Lucy shaking her fist yelling “Damn you Charlie Brown!”
I stand corrected
Yeah, everyone gets ducked eventually, for the most part. Charlie had The Scent Of Woman around him so probably screwed Lucy. Would America be what it is if he didn’t?
Yep – right in the ass:
And much more:

East of the Mississippi.
Different subject, my apologies , I can’t help it, Mississippi River in Baton Rouge at record low. This is a major river! Who is draining the swamp? I think greedy land developers . Fuck ‘em. They can earn $21 hr at McDonalds and quit jacking with my privacy.
Of course not. She a prude and a tease
I am making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website.. http://www.Profit97.com
Yes, vote, even the most cynical can see some value in the action. As it necessitates an obvious counterreaction, cheating that becomes ever more obvious to a rapidly expanding number of average Americans.
Your vote will accelerate this process until something breaks, much like the FED’s accelerated interest rate raising. This “breakage” is what I assume you are longing for, with the constant repetition of the “Vote Harder” mantra.
So yes, Voting Harder is exactly what you need to do to produce the effect you are looking for.
Well said, Otto. While fully aware of the Uniparty and nasty, slimy RINO’s, I still think that voting straight Republican ticket is more productive than ‘voting doesn’t matter’.
If this is wrong, it’s probably because the inevitable collapse will probably happen sooner with a Party of Chaos victory. Which will only happen with their massive cheating.
Who couldn’t use a little extra time for their preps?
I vote mostly for the local issues.
I vote against any and all Tax Increases, Bonds, and/or increases in gov’t fees, power, or administrative offices.
If I do not know the candidates, I vote against Women, POC’s, and (((Other Folks))). This is not racist, sexist or religious discrimination. It is simply a shortcut for instances when I have a lack of information. Typically, in those groups, it is more likely that they will be working against my interests. While we would not be in the situation today if cucked White Men were not putting us there, it is also mostly White Men who are working against the trends. So, barring any info, I have to go with White Men.
On a candidates background, I always prefer someone who (A) has a background in Business, and (B) who has a family. I will always vote against those without family (esp LGTBQ), and those who come from Gov’t, Education, or Union backgrounds.
If I cannot decide who is worse (better?), I vote for all candidates for the office. This gets that vote thrown out, but it cannot be colored in in favor of one involved in cheating. It is my version of “none of the above.”
You should straighten out this against taxes, fees , bonds in Texas. Sly devils word every proposition to be a rosy scenario so that the idiots that approve of such propositions have no clue what $$$ are involved. Beats me , I’ve noticed for a very long time.
However , common knowledge, everything at the polling places is rigged.
The most ridiculous statement I’ve heard in a while if not for 20 years or better. If you can pull a single lever , you got a much better gas mask than I.
Republicans haven’t earned anyones vote, so they’ll continue to do nothing. Democrats act like lunatics and then people vote for the other party to win merely by default only delaying the destruction creating a controlled opposition.
Very well put , besides if we don’t bother to vote they wont even have to cheat to maintain their malevolent death grip on power , which would essentially be our aquiescence to them .
That’s why I’ll go ahead and vote and if a place to write, “I cannot in good conscience do this anymore”, that’s what I’ll write.
I cant in good conscience “write in ” “Mickey Mouse” anymore as he has gone over to the dark side with Disney . Ive always been partial to Huckleberry Hound so…
Yes Yogi Bear/Boo Boo 2024. I like Ricochet Rabbit’s chances too but no anticipated running mate. And a lot can happen between now and the illustrious primaries leading up to another dupe in Nov. 2024.
Your vote is your acquiescence. You are formally stating that you will acquiesce to the result. If your candidate wins, you are to blame for any actions or failures. If your candidate loses, you endorsed the system, agreed to the system, and lost “fair and square” and so have no reason to complain.
If the vote is not “fair and square”, then why are you endorsing the system and agreeing to the flawed system.
Ottomatik’s idea that more voting in a corrupt system will lead to … what, exactly? is simply foolish. More people will become aware of the cheating? (a) no they won’t, and (b) if they did, what would they do about it? Vote Harder ad infinitum in a broken system?
It’s like trying to fix a car that the transmission dropped completely out of by adding more gas, or pressing the pedal to the metal.
And if you don’t vote, you acquiesce to their increasing your taxes, fees, regulations, and so on.
All of the above are enforced by men with guns. If you will not politely say “please stop,” you will increase the odds that men with guns will come and force you to do their will.
Nobody ever suggested taking a stand was a sure road to success. But I think it has always been clear that absolute passivity gets you butt-raped.
Scratching my head, didn’t Trump say , “take the guns first”? His worshippers will have shuffled that to the side like a long time forgotten.
I like the instant tune ups. Pour some propagandized liquid in the gas tank , what you saw on TV, and , wa-la, instant “tune up”. lol
No.
“Ottomatik”, “NtroP”, Etc.
Factually or Hypothetically speaking, when RP was on the ticket did You vote for Him? Did You Write his name in at Any OTHER time, OR were you concerned about ‘WASTING’ your Vote?
I did cast my vote both primaries for Ol Ron and when he was screwed my FSH and the establishment GOPhers I moved on to “wasting my vote” some more on “Who is that? Never heard of him”. Because you are a bought and paid for stool pigeon.
Well, at least FDT’s DOW had a respectable gain Friday , 10/28. Tomorrow, who knows?
Seems I remember some FDT bullshit in 2016 , the DOW is too high and interest rates too low. WTF? Anybody?
Glad to see that You voted for RP. Thanks for the response.
He is/was viewed by me as somewhat of a https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sacred-cow.asp…But i was STILL a ‘believer’. For a minute.
Have to cling to some fantasy, That ANYTHING would have been different, had he gained the Office, right?
DONE with all that Malarky. Period.
” the DOW is too high and interest rates too low. WTF? Anybody?”
🤣 the Stock Market?
A place where Cattle are bought, SOLD, & Slaughtered.
Why?
“Because you are a bought and paid for stool pigeon.”
Seems like the fix is in. Hobbs is a marxist pos funded by the usual suspects. If she wins despite having little support outside the city,and doing no debates,we all know why. Question is ,will we put up with it this time around in this somewhat freestate. Or let it fall like the rest have to the blue vermin.
We’ll vote harder.
Really. That will fix it.
As if they’ll stop lying and cheating now, those are the only things they’re good at
HO!!!
They’re also REALLY good at perversion, destruction, corruption, degeneracy and confusion!!!
Come on, Duke. Give credit where it’s due!!!

“The perfidous party of Chaos “???
That is both “Demonicrats & Rethuglicants”….The two sides of the same coin that the FEDGOV has been warped into by the (((Khazarian Mafia))).
Like it or not, the truth is the ugliest of things….
“It’s likely that we will see aggressive hearings into all sorts or (sic) government misconduct.”
That’s so cute! What we will get is sham investigations like Trey Roosterhead Goudy gave us on Bengazhi.
Why? The big Republicans are as deep in as the Democrats. But all is not lost, Roosterhead got rich from the last one…
But, … but, … he said aggressive hearings, … so … different this time.
>>>It’s likely that we will see aggressive hearings
If the R’s take control of Congress, we will in fact get hearings. Some tough sound-bites. Maybe even a criminal referral of some low-level toadies.
But for those hoping for “aggressive hearings” and impeachments, George Carlin has some advice for you.
George Carlin was dead on and we knew it then as we know it now. The repubs/conservatives will do the same thing they’ve done for the past 70 years….nothing to slow up the gravy train, nothing to stop whatever the communists want no matter if it’s on immigration, welfare, vax mandates, pointless (for us) wars, insane spending, destroying the transportation system, burning food processing plants, and weaponizing the FBI, IRS, CIA to go to war on Heritage Americans.
The repubs did nothing. The conservatives conserved nothing. They are part of the treason and profit from it. Elections are meaningless.
250,000 oops ?? BULL SHIT !
State Troopers should already have the address list as to where these ballots were sent! Bag them up and fire all involved !
Of course when you have 30 million illegals wandering about living and working and nobody can find them . We are just asking tooo much !
Of course if somebody posts on twitter that your a racist with a gun the powers that be will have you surrounded with snipers posted faster than a pizza delivery
Yeah, much bullshit like the logging community here that use to hire illegals cash , under the table. If Jose was crushed by a 20″ diameter pine tree just dig his illegal ass out from under the tree and toss it in the backwoods as there are plenty of vultures around, the dead carcass eating variety ( as well as the two legged kind). No one knows the difference as Jose is unidentified. Then!, loggers be driving their pickups around flying Trump banners. It really does not get much better than that.
I wonder where oh where is the legendary reporting team of Woodward and Bernstein these days? I wonder how many folks remember that one of the most serious charges against President Nixon was that he used the apparatus of government, like the IRS, against his political enemies? I guess that when you become ‘woke’ justice no longer matters although they are full of themselves with all the platitudes about social justice etc.
Even back then, the media was in the pocket of the left … otherwise Nixon’s acts wouldn’t have mattered …
See, for example, the notorious LBJ and his dirty hands in the JFK assassination and its aftermath …
Me with a handmade smoke in the hills of new England.
Looks nice… I may have to come down a sit there a while… watch the show…
When I get new lands and home your more then welcome to come down,just cross illegally and will be no problem,can pick ya’s up in Pittsburgh(N.H.).
My old stomping ground a bit south of you I used to hang in Colebrook
Its working, just watch, vote, crack a cold one, have another smoke, and watch. Yeah its not gonna fix shit by getting quality candidates in, but it is breaking shit.
Roll another one
Just like the other one
Crack about 10 of the lower alcohol content cheap beer corn fructose whatever , and be numb to “it”.
Like the Boy Scouts BE PREPARED
Looks like the Mount Washington area.
Hechler and Koch by any chance?
AK-47 or 74 with a cool sight on it.
Eotech with lower 1/3rd co-witness back up irons!!!
GET SOME!!!
That’s a fella knows a thing or two about his rifle.
It’s an AKM. Stamped sheet metal receiver.
We be watching you.
I have too many things to do but to sit and watch. My cat is very alert to suspicious activity. People come around, I can tell he’s nervous. Cat’s can be trained.
You have a guard cat? LOL
My next door neighbor has a stocky Dobie that let’s us know if anyone is about. I don’t have to feed him or take him to the Vet….works for me. 🙂
Sort of. He is our only pet now and an outdoor one that gets good care. I like him because he earns his keep. We have no rodent issues but I hate that he is so determined to kill pretty birds, the trade off. Visitors are not often so with just the wife and I the cat is very suspicious of other people simply because he is not around others. Cats can be trained.
BL, my kitty is like King Trump on 16 acres. The only reason I know of neighbors is when they are checking their fully automatic ARs, some shooting noise. It’s almost like living in the backwoods somewhere.
That’s not the hills of New England and that looks like a machine made smoke to me. Your message, however, is clear and in part depending on the midterms, on point.
Walter,tis a hand made smoke with a loader,as for New England hills,just because not in the pic does not mean they are not nearby,a lot of flatlands in the Hampster,oh,and tobbaco mostly homegrown.
When I get new lands stop by for a visit,seems Brian might border cross for a visit,could be fun!
I heard homegrown is easy to grow with the curing the downfall of some growers.
Yep,have lost a fair amount that way,found that in last home ran strings in the attic rafters and was still warm enough the leaves dried out well by hanging with clothes clamps on string.
Key is to start very early in home so when plopped in soil they are going strong and ready to rock.
The slower the cure the better the flavor.

The Federalist article needs to be read by any and all … this administration is quite obviously pulling out all the stops to win this election AND to destroy our Sovereign Nation — all in one stroke of the pen …
It’s not a good sign when the vast majority of the media have ignored an executive order for the fed to take over voter registration with zero transparency and taking election power away from the states. One step closer to those in power deciding who stays in power.
“Many, maybe most, of our high-tech systems will be crippled by energy shortages and supply line breakdowns.”
JK
This is still, at this time, a temporary, manufactured condition. The US has enormous energy supplies of every fuckin flavor.
Susan Rice and Valerie Jarret, henchmen of Davos, tasked with neocolonialization of the US.
Another strange and disturbing front is opening up in the domestic financial war, US Treasury vs. The FED, Yellen vs. Powell. Ill add more with time as I learn more, any others watching please share if able.
Who manufactured it, and what/who will make them stop doing so?
I’m amazed how many people still think that their vote counts and that they actually get to choose who represents them.
It’s as bad as people who post anonymously and think nobody can figure out who they are.
Have we met? Only the admin knows, or special people? 🙂
I know my vote makes a difference so get lost.
Elections are purely entertainment, election fraud is part of the entertainment as are the lackluster huckster candidates. One should not take the election process seriously lest ye be fooled into believing we have a choice.
A neighbor stopped and asked me if I thought we would take back the senate. I laughed and said that he might be more worried that the tribe was occupying every cabinet position right now. Not that the tribe is not well represented in the house and the senate.
“Amazing” how much fiat is spent by these clowns in so called “elections”. Disgraceful IMO.
The whole election process/system is a disgrace Buck. They parade out the brain dead huckster puppets and maybe it is just me but it seems to be more pathetic than in the past.
Well, Sean Hannity has a grip on things. /s
Nope, BL; John Fetterman is the greatest Democrat candidate for the United States Senate of all time.
Just thinking about what “the message” of, and that, the Phreak Phrom Pennsylvania really is — downright bizarre and a profound foreboding of evil.
Most f’d up “politician” I can ever recall. He was born out the ass of an ass. All I can figure.
what is really amazing is how stupid the politicians are. Fucking really stupid, and disconnected from reality and middle class living.
Money, money, money…money!
When the lastest dance craze is the Demon-frogmarch and perhaps even an actual conviction of high crimes, then you may bother Auntie.
UNtil then the WEPH programmers’ objective remains: you vil own notting und be heppy.
Auntie- Just this morning I saw yet another ad to “subscribe” to a new car for 6 months. Insurance/taxes/fees included in the subscription. You see Auntie, that is the truth of where most everything is going. Thus you will own nothing and be happy. The concept that you will be homeless and have literally nothing is not the plan. Renting pretty much everything in the future IS our future. You can even rent for just a day/hour if you like, it’s very flexible.
R U frigging nuts? Whom do you think you will be renting from??? (Soros snickering) Bend over slave, I’ll show you how to be ‘flexible!
Ya, you can keep your utopia.
L.
Lucred- Not my utopia, bud. I’m just the fukken messenger and I think you should watch some videos from Russia where most of this new system is already in play.
Don’t shoot me, I didn’t make this shit up. OBTW, Da Joos don’t make big $$$ off the slaves unless they are fleecing them on cars, jewelry, rents, etc., etc. You think those leopards will change their spots?? Well, do ya??
BL,
‘I’m just the fukken messenger’ And what is the message you are pimping? NWO globalism? As said, you can keep your utopia.
‘Da Joos don’t make big $$$ off the slaves’ I made no mention of the tribe, just Soros, the nazi zionist pos.
I do in fact watch videos from Russia, a charming young lady Eli.
https://www.youtube.com/c/ElifromRussia/videos
Any other brilliant advice keyboard warrior? “Well, do ya??” I bet you’re fun at parties too.
L.
“Just this morning I saw yet another ad to “subscribe” to a new car for 6 months. Insurance/taxes/fees included in the subscription”
Why is that a bad idea ? They’re mostly junk after a year, any ways and I like the idea that the subscription fee includes maintenance, too.
Besides, we already rent our property and labor from the state .What difference is a rental car going to make?
If I’m going to subscribe, then I certainly want one that’s very flexible, very light and preferably blonde or brunette. Probably for just an hour at a time. Will I lose unused credits form one month to the next and can I pay in Euro? Rubles are up right now, ya know?
Sorry, 6 month rent only, if you can last the contract and the sport version, gonna’ be high , bruh…but lucky for you, the maintence is included in the subscription….rubber lost from excess burnouts gonna’ cost you extra though.
Flash- In Russia, the proles rent by the hour ALL THE TIME. If the metro is too crowded and the street traffic is light, they may opt to rent a car to get home from work. They don’t own a car because they find renting by the hour or day is far more cost effective.
Currently, Volvo, Audi, Porsche, Nissan and BMW offer “All-In” subscriptions which include insurance/taxes and fees. This is different than the measured usage system.
If reasonable, I’d rather rent one of these modern over-engineered pieces of junk, than own it.
Flash- The luxury cars are not very reasonable, but then again, they are not reasonable to buy, insure and service in the current system. The cheaper cars may be reasonable, IDK because they are not testing the subscription market here except for Nissan (NissanSwitch) which is $699 per month for Altima/Rogue/Pathfinder and $899 per month for the EV’s Leaf/Murano/Armada. They require a $495 membership fee also. Get this, you could even change to a different car each day if you like.
Sounds interesting…this could be a game changer for kids who don’t want to tie themselves to a 84 month loan, which I understand is the average loan for new car sales now.
Flash-One has to wonder what they will do with all these vehicles as they get older, since we will own nothing and be happy? Will they have the Rent-A-Heap-Cheap subscription or just scrap them and recycle the components into the next new cars? Lucredite above will stick to his horse and buggy, I’ll be too old to give a shit but I have grandchildren in their 20’s.
I would not give advice to anyone in their 20’s or otherwise actually. The look on their faces when you tell them, “You’re fucked.” Just don’t mention this stuff.
I’d shit my britches if I was facing a $699 month transportation anything. When my vehicles shit the bed I might have cardiac arrest what someone says I have to pay to drive a car.
Well go ahead and shit your britches, because that time is here.
I’ll wait for the time being, when my vehicles shit the bed and who knows , as some folks age or perhaps some type of injury , they cannot help accidents like shit the britches. Guess it will depend on how much longer the “good ol” vehicles run and how much longer I run before possible shit the britches episodes. My stepfather said growing “old” was no fun , yet FDT says gotta think positive. “The Power Of Positive Thinking”, Norman Vincent Peale.
Go pubs! Gonna “fix it”.
BTW , FSH keeps insisting on “conservative” talk radio Nov. 8, 2022 is THE most important election in “our” lifetimes.
You can have a rental, Flash. I prefer my big ol diesel.
For how much longer though…back in the day, a fella good with a wrench and a rod could tack together his own ride from junkyard parts. Hell , we used to even cross make and model parts…try that today with this new computer modularized EV shit.
One piece at a time days are long gone…
Ol John would likely have lost his union job if not spend some more time in Folsom with all the surveillance cameras closely observing an individual or group; person or persons under suspicion.
Your ‘big ol’ diesel’ ain’t worth diddly without fuel.
Tucker Carlson: The US is about to run out of diesel fuel
My big ol diesel will run on vegetable oil, oil fryer grease, kerosene, used motor oil, just about anything combustible that will go through the injectors. While gas cars will be sitting, I will be rolling.
All of which is shipped in via diesel engines , or are you gonna’ manufacture seed oils and kerosene ,too
BTW, Kerosene is pre-diesel too, only now somewhere north of 7 dollars a gallon and how many gallons of burnt motor oil do you have stored…smh…I guess you’re going to live off the land, too . while everyone around you starves… boomer fantasies are one reason this world is fucked today.
Tip of the day, bozo…buy a mule or two…muh big ol’ deezal ….reeee
Diesel fuel is around $4.60 here and only $2.85-3.25 in Fritch , Tx if that helps.
About the same here in East Texas. And red diesel for my tractors is about a buck cheaper than that.
Yer a special kinda stupid, ain’t cha, flash? Bless yer heart.
“I can’t do it so nobody can”
Ain’t no “boomer” fantasy. I am ready for this shit. And I am Gen X.
Obviously, a guy with your special sauce should be prepped up but I suspect that you will just bend over and succumb like all the vaxxed assholes.
Goodbye.
That’s right , booger eater …you’re going to be tooling around in your injector trashing bio-diesel , drawing all sorts of attention , buying freshly skinned armadillos, paid for with gold whilst daring all the cholos to touch your stuff, cause you da man , with tha’ body armored plan.
This is not a video game , where you can level up after you kill and take someone’s else’s shit. In the real TEOTWAWKI , there will only be two options…tribe up or die .
I suggest your read this, and put your hero survivor fantasies down for a long nap.
..muh big ‘ol deisel…lol… buy a mule. idiot..at east you can plow with it.

The “Great Reset” is as foolish as smashing your toes with hammer. “Sure, painful now, but after they heal they’ll be so much better than they were.”
Ask Pelosi about hammers.
Or getting hammered
Assuming we still have legitimate governance is wrongthink. The only solution may be some special agent removing the problem people by other means. I don’t see either one as imminent.
Doesn’t voting confer legitimacy on this rump Republic? Maybe vote in state and local elections, but at the national level…especially considering that the GOPee will betray its voter base every single time…it seems more akin to a vote for Stockholm Syndrome.
Excepting very local the only reason to vote is to try all peaceful means for change before you realize you must be much more (bloody)firm to achieve change.
I’m a big believer in this… Doesn’t mean to compromise or drop my principles tho… And if violence is required then a full measure plus is the response.
The only thing bullies or communists understand is the measure of violence meted out to them. Half baked and they don’t leave or soon return. Full measure and they will avoid a repeat unless they have overwhelming odds, but then thats when the equalizers come in play…
They way things are currently configured it is better for Them if you don’t vote. Hell, they don’t want you to vote. Voting is updated and visible in real time. When polls close they know if falconflight cast a vote or not.
If he did not, falconflight’s ballot shows up in the late night dump of found ballots. This has been happening to some degree or another since JFK vs Nixon. Now it is just done in realtime.
Voter registration drives are only about getting names on the ballot. They know the homeless who trade their name for cigarettes or Boone’s Farm in Kensington will never vote. But, they are on the rolls and can be a mail in ballot. One of the 240000 we are aware of so far.
This is how they pushed Badfinger across the finish line and will do the same with Fetterman.
Boone’s Farm is still around?
Talk about a fucking memorable hangover. It’s been 50 years!
That and maddog are a couple of my most memorable hangovers ever.
Aye, the technicolor yawn.
Sangria was better.
The only reason I might vote, is to try to remove those DemPerv NC Supreme Court devils. Not that I would necessarily expect much better. Several weeks ago, the NCSC actually ruled that the NC Legislature (GOP nominal control) was “illegitimate” for its gerrymandering. It really pissed me off. I know that elections do not and have never corrected a society that literally promotes Satanism.
They did that in PA a few years back. Seems to be a national strategy.
Well played AZ.
But the uppers will fuck the locals if going against a certain grain. State fucks locals also what I’m saying. And locals think banana republics fucking “you”. All I’m saying. Trust no one.
Governance has gone down hill since I was in grade school 60’s. But who knows who was fucking who then?
First and foremost, eradicate the “Yes men”.
Pennsylvania sure is one fuked-up place.
I’m speechless, the Oz and that abomination from Deliverance? Lord have mercy.
I share you thoughts, but dream on about the political repercussions. There will be no significant action on a call to account.
I hate to say it, but the only thing that will straighten this country out is civil war. Until the liberals cease to exist, the country will have a cancer from within that will eventually kill it.
Is there any “hope”? Listening to Screamin’ Mark Levin. Recall, Mark was outspoken about “No Trump” in the 2016 GOP primaries. Mark was Ted Cruz in the primaries and had much negative to say about Trump. Now Mark sucks Trump’s asshole. Kinda weird.
Katie Hobbs “won” BEFORE the election. It’s in your face.

Who would not want to vote “absentee” or by mail , whatever? Bullet proof glass at polling places, etc. ?
Who sez that Obama is the head of the shadow gov’t?
The real controllers are so clandestine that it is doubtful they even have birth records.
Texas is ruled by seven people and they are not in the limelight of political theater.
Don’t mess with Texas. Just throw your trash along roadways. It’s a Texas tradition, especially beer cans.
Oh they have birth records, just not on any rolls you are familiar with. The top, the very top, believe, with conviction, they are lineage of the dark one, and genetics are more important than anything to them.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

Sorry, first thing I could think of from the title was Glenn Fry
It’ll be interesting to see if VOTE HARDER or CHEAT HARDER takes the midterms.
INsightful, K.
I wonder if it matters.

Don’t hold your breath in anticipation of real systemic change. Speaking of change I doubt Barack Obama is as powerful as you seem to think he is. Remember he is a puppet just like Dementia Joe. Obama had his handlers and masters too. Some were his early supporters and benefactors. But this is not a productive discussion issue given the dire straights the country is in courtesy of Democrats and Republicans alike. It’s not about D or R or social or economic ideology; it’s us against the globalist psychopaths, warmongers and megalomaniacs.
There can be no neutrality in this scenario; you are either on the side of right/humanity or you are New World Order collateral damage. We are not guaranteed a victory but we will surely go down in horrible defeat if we don’t wake up, resist and find ways to cooperate to save ourselves from enslavement by the wicked overlords.
Perhaps the malignant demicides understand that their “utopia” (the common man’s hell) cannot be realized with the current global population and they are in the process of eliminating masses of polulation until the remainder population can fit in their wicked calculations.
That fits the evidence I can observe.
Dear Jim K.,
I feel horrible. That You have ANY ‘Illusions’
LEFTSorry! BAD ‘WORD’.That You Have ANY Illusions. Remaining.
But Fret Not And Be Of Good Cheer!

On Your Part? Ditto.
Just one more time Charlie “Charred” Brown, just one more time…
It’s amazing the number of states that don’t require you to prove who you are to register to vote, plus many who don’t require a photo ID to vote. That’s proof that many people don’t want free and fair elections, and it makes people question the validity of the elections. Until that gets fixed, we’re in big trouble.
