It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.
from “Blood Meridian,” a 1985 novel by American author Cormac McCarthy
Ok, many of you may well be aware of this, especially if you’re American. If not, here is what’s been happening. The State of Texas put up razor wire at the border to stop the roughly 12,000 illegal migrants crossing daily. The feds got their knickers in a knot, came down, and pulled it all down opening the floodgates again.
In a tit for tat back and forth, the Texans put it back up. This all ended up in court where the supreme court said that actually stopping illegal immigration was… um, illegal. So the Texans climbed onto their horses, rode back home, and promptly ignored this and invoked their rights as a state to protect themselves. It’s worth remembering that the US is not a democracy, as many think, but rather a republic. That’s important in terms of the legality of what just happened. Not that ultimately legality matters when the country is clearly run by criminals, but you get the point. Ruffles are being feathered.
In any event, it’s all heating up.
14 Red States ‘Stand with Texas’ in Border Fight with Biden Administration
President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense,” the statement continues.
“For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself,” the statement adds.
That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.
What followed has been governors of Oklahoma…
Florida…
Virginia…
South Dakota…
Georgia…
Montana…
Utah….
West Virginia…
Arkansas…
All in all, 25 governors of various states so far have decided that the feral guvmint is, in fact, feral.
While following events, I had this map to share with you.
And then, as we went to hit publish, we found that certain states have sent troops to support Texas. Things really are moving fast.
And what about the Feral Guvmint?
Defeating Texas will take five days, or five weeks, or five months, but certainly no longer than that.
Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin Powers
So as you can see, what we’d been predicting for years now seems to be rapidly evolving. You’ve got largely a “left” vs “right” political split, and frankly, I don’t see how this gets resolved without… ahem… problems. I mean, the ideological views in the country are so stark. Consider gun laws. On the one hand you’ve the ”pry it from my dead hands” folk and on the other we’ve got alphabet people who say that only the military can use weapons and even then, they’ll demand they’re only ok with vegan hand grenades. I think bridging this divide is at this point impossible.
Ok, so as fun as this is, what I’d like to point out is that decentralisation is the key to undoing the centralisation problem (WHO, UN, WEF, etc., etc.). Just as Bitcoin, for example, is one answer to Fedcoin and Klaus Coin, we are now seeing secessionist movements across the globe. Way back in 2016 I recall writing about this phenomenon, and since then, we’ve seen secessionist movements in Spain, France (yellow vests), and many more. Even in woke Canada, premier Smith defied Ottawa’s taxes as well as promising a doubling of oil and gas production.
The thing with humans is they’re social creatures. The majority go along to get along and don’t want to ruffle feathers. It’s why so many wore those stupid face masks despite agreeing with you when you pointed out exasperated that they were so obviously completely pointless. They’d nod their heads, mumble, and then put them on anyway. And what for? The 18-year-old pimple-faced teenager at the supermarket asking where your mask was or the overweight middle-aged Karen at the gas station doing the same. Of course, the answer was to laugh at them and go about your business like the sovereign individual that you are, but most didn’t and most won’t. That’s just how it is.
Anyway, the globalists’ push for more and more has been met with another problem the Davos crowd has not perhaps thought much about. It is a physiological phenomenon that has been shown to prove true and it is this: Humans are more likely to break more laws if one law is too strict.
Think of all the completely insane laws that we’ve had to endure in the last four years. Yup, Western nations are all rapidly turning into Argentina — a place where the only way to survive has been to flout the myriad destructive laws. Argie, by the way, is on a different trajectory to the West and priced rather attractively vs the West. Hence our positioning.
Here’s something else to ponder. When the states send their tax dollars to the feds and the feds are openly using those same dollars to do damage to the states, then at what point do the states say, “Nyet, no mas?”
Here’s US public debt.
Total US public debt
And keep in mind this needs servicing.
It isn’t even just the fact the debt can’t be serviced at the current rate and absolutely not with any meaningful increase in bond yields. It is the fact that the moment some of the aforementioned states decide to say nyet to sending money back to the Feral Guvmint, then foreign holders of US debt could potentially begin to imagine what things look like with a fragmenting America.
Imagine it this way. You lend money to a real estate developer who has say 300 houses, and you’re told he has control over all 300 houses. This is your collateral. Then, before you’ve been paid back, you see that 100 of them just got sold out without the developer banking the proceeds — a “dispute,” you’re told. Not only do you worry that your collateral isn’t what you thought it would be, you realise that all the other creditors who bought the same debt you bought might just see it too and head for the exits before you do. Oh, what to do?
And as far as investing in foreign sovereign debt markets go, take a look at Europe where the globalists, despite trying to, never managed to consolidate their debts within the Eurozone and now are trying to manage a consolidated currency system without having a consolidated bond system. And guess what? The Europeans are all having secessionist movements, too. So…
All of this points to the need for a massive distraction because the peasants are about to get hosed. All those pensions they think they have. All those insurance products they own, the currency they hold much of their savings in. The real estate markets in which they’ve their life savings invested into. All of it tied together in one big ball of leveraged rehypothecated ball of yarn. So, a distraction is desperately needed, lest the peasants bring back the guillotine for the politicians and bankers.
Aaaand here it is…
They’re prepping the peasants in the UK for war. Look over here. It’s Russia, the big boogeyman.
And in lockstep over in Australia…
This particular little piece caught my attention:
As the risk of Australia being drawn into a major war increase, we are facing a short window of opportunity to address some of the shortfalls in our defence capability.
Years ago I took a course in NLP (neuro linguistic programming). Let me tell you that this shit is straight out of the manual, and let me make this very clear so that nobody can say they were not warned. You are being programmed for what has already been decided.
The above is in complete lockstep. The UK, then Australia. Next up, Canada and NZ. Watch!
But I’m sure it’s merely coincidence. Remember to hate the Russkies and the Chinese (that is coming, too). It’s the 250-year revolutionary war cycle, folks. I wish it wasn’t, but it is, so…
Now, I know this is predominantly an investment publication, but realise this. Having money is of no use to any of us if we’re being dressed in military garb, black boots, and sent into the meat grinder, so if you’re in literally any of the Western nations (US, as just spoken about, UK, Canookland, Australia, or NZ), the timeframe between now and when your government decides you need to go “fight the enemy” is narrowing, so warm up those second passports, residency visas, and have a plan. If none of the above transpires, you can simply say, “Oh, it was crazy Chris,” and blame me. I’ve got thick skin. Seriously, I can take it. Send me hate mail. I’d love to get it, because it means I’ve been wrong. There literally is no downside.
Now, what does it mean for our portfolio? Well, if I’m not wrong, it means good things, because the enormity of capital sitting in bonds will have to seek safety and shelter… somewhere. My guess is that actual “stuff” makes for a solid bet, and even if this doesn’t happen, this “stuff” is the cheapest it has been both on an absolute and relative basis for donkey’s years.
Editor’s Note: The Western system is undergoing substantial changes, and the signs of moral decay, corruption, and increasing debt are impossible to ignore. With the Great Reset in motion, the United Nations, World Economic Forum, IMF, WHO, World Bank, and Davos man are all promoting a unified agenda that will affect us all.

If a Texas-FUSA conflict gets serious, I mean really Serious, I hope the housewives of Texas don’t mind giving up access to electrical power. Since they WILL lose it.
ERCOT generates more wind and solar power than any other power network in USA. Also there would be no DOE to deny firing back up the gas powered turbines. TX-LA-OK is energy hub of USA and would be the energy hub when the South rises again.
I agree with ICE…but take it further. What happens to OTHER states when TXOKLA turns the juice off that is sent out of state? Yes – ERCOT had problems, but if we were not exporting so much juice, there would never have been ANY problems.
I think if things get dicey, our friends in Mexico got a few axes to grind with Federales del Norte …tambien…
Rick Perry worked concessions with big oil thus reining in the turbines at least. Solar farms are around but I’m not up to date on locations. So as long as the sun shines on Texas and as long as Texas politicians blow wind, no “grid” issues Deep In The Heart Of Texas. Endless resources and water(?) for the masses.
if it goes to war, how difficult do you think it is to disrupt electricity? there would be no juice going anywhere.
You do realize that wind and solar make it harder to keep a grid up, right?
The grid must be base loaded or it will fail. Stable machines must hold 60 cycles. Only natural gas and coal can do that. Only a few plants can lead the rest must lag, even fewer plants have black plant capability to start up after a major grid failure. The rest is peak demand (I worked in commercial generation)
ELI the ICE man.
Fuck Joe Biden and the Jews that hold the puppets strings.
It’s the democrat agenda to flood the USA with ILLEGAL ALIENS and turn them into democrat voters. It’s as unConstitutional as it gets, at it’s a 100% traitorous act. The entire Biden “Junta” belongs in GITMO, awaiting final sentencing.
Many will steal cars and trucks and go back home because the freebies will be gone.
I don’t think the US will really take on Texas. Texas has like the 10th largest economy in the world. We have a $34bil surplus and people are mostly polite cause you never know who is carrying. I carry as much firepower on me and my truck as the average DPS Trooper. And all concealed.
TPTB would never win that fight. And the other states helping us would join in.
Of course, if the plan is to fracture America, that would be the way to do it…
I have the ways and means to defend myself and loved ones against Lloyd Austin.
The millisecond the government uses force against Americans on domestic soil, it would lose all legitimacy—at this juncture, no one is willing to cede it any goodwill whatsoever. Every single prepper, patriot, and volk would realize that the time has come. Each would rise to the level of his skills and motivation.
It is der tag.
God help them
My guess is that there will be some people who will wait until the time is right and shoot them in the back.
This reads very differently, knowing where you are coming from.
Dagobaz – “The millisecond the government uses force against Americans on domestic soil, it would lose all legitimacy”
Waco or Ruby Ridge? DERP.
I’m all spick and niggered out.
one and the same
I’ll allow it.
When there is a crisis like in Texas at the same time as financial collapse that is when the shtf. The FEDS won’t have the money to finance the military and we will have warlords like early 20th century china.
Strange. When this VERY engrossing series ended? Seems like
TLPTBu.s. govt. was in the woodpile. Might have just been me.I just submitted this for a stand-alone TBP post for tomorrow….. (Hat tip: The Feral Irishman)
Excellent. Just posted to our sheriff and county officials, representatives, etc.
Not perfect, but great that a sheriff has put this together.
Good thinking Uncola!
😊 👍🏻
Not true, all wars all all connected to one thing the spread of capitalism.
Before the money system arrived, there were no wars in places like America, where Native Americans lived in peace.
The same all over the world, all wars come from the bankers.
Wars came about to force the capitalism of Luciferian Banking system on all populations world wide.
Once the west is destroyed in civil wars (created by outside yiddish forces) leading to ww3, just like the communist revolutions in Russia and China. Possibly going nuclear to make it happen, it will lead to total domination over the earth by the powers of darkness, and a final win for Lucifer.
Every war has been to end the Christian religion and all religionsof God and replace them with the Yiddish money system of slavery= Moloch Mammon worship. Moloch the Pindar of the Rothschild family, the pope of the Luciferian religion which is money and banking.
The final end is coming, next will be the CBDCs and transhumanism whereby the human race will be cut off from God and soulless mind controlled freak robot slaves with added DNA from pigs, in Hell for eternity.
Have you ever been told the truth about war?
In Vietnam they took thousands of babies in planes from Vietnam, they claimed were for adoption.
Every war is the same they mask this evil in saving babies orphaned by wars but it is not true.
Every war and all poverty, prisons, and the drugs and sex trades are covers so that these bankers from Hell literally, can procure their gentile children under the age of seven to crucify like Jesus Christ and drink their blood after torturing them like Christ was tortured, so they can stay in power on earth as our faux gods.
When the CIA works it is for them, to keep them in power, supplied with the children they need.
When men become wealthy like the oligarchs did after the Bolshevik revolution, it was because they helped them get their children for adrenochrome.
Every war is a cover to steal children and give power of the devils of Hell.
They are the Rothschilds and all families tied to them by DNA having married the Rothschild daughters and making soulless children from those daughters.
That is what is really going in in Ukraine, before the war the Ukrainians were so poor fro Perestroika, that they were paid to give birth to babies to be adopted in other nations, but that was not true.
They were paid to have babies to be delivered to the Luciferians.
Orphans piled up in these former soviet satellite nations, which were bought cheaply buy the yids to sell and to sexually abuse and kill in their satanic rituals.
It was the Yids who called the cement trucks to seal up their tunnels where the border children were sent by Mayorkas. To hide the DNA evidence.
It was a ritual slaughter religious ceremony they have done forever hidden in tunnels.
The money system has always existed for one reason to help the yids to take over the world so the yids could rule over all of you and take you from God permanently.
Maui was to take the children, Ukraine is now the hub of adrenochrome industry, where they farm raise children and transport the product to the evil ones.
Gaza is a child sacrifice to Moloch, giving the Holy land and the Vatican to the enemies of God and calling the enemies of God, his chosen people, is the most blasphemous and insulting and cruel and hurtful offence ever committed against God by his own so-called christian people.
Every war is to get children to consecrate in the blood of innocents, the nations formerly belonging to God, that fall in war to Lucifer, and give them to the Lucifer Bankers who rebuild=d those nations as nations under Lucifer.
In Afghanistan, fathers had to sell one of their children, usually a daughter in order to feed the rest of their children, because of that war.
Then comes the alcohol, drugs and the sex industries and porn and child snuff films, in those nations that fall to Luciferians, they are ruined forever and without God’s protection.
That is what is going to happen to the entire formerly Christian nations after WW3.
The powers of darkness will own the entire earth.
Every war is a war against God and against your very souls.
There is no excuse for any war.
Hitler did not want war, he just wanted to lock up the people who make wars.
The numbers of yids alive before and after the holo-hoax match, they are the same number.
WAR is all about providing children to Moloch Mammon, the fallen angel of greed, who brought the money system to you in ancient Babylon, and it is the same money system today that demands child sacrifice to Moloch.
Moloch and the other fallen angels of Hell who are spirit consciousness without souls=demonic spirits, devolved into the exact opposite of what God is (rebellion against God=devolution).
They can live as spirit consciousness indefinitely, in any body that is born soulless, even a cloned body.
They migrate from one generation to the next in these Rothschild and extended by marriage to the Rothschild daughters families, and they have been her working on world takeover since the money system arrived and used slavery and wars to get the children they needed.
Even the slave trade (run by the yids) in early American history, was all about getting children for adrenchrome.
Slavery makes it easy to take children from mothers.
Poverty and wars and prisons make it possible, why do you think the Palestinians are not allowed any contact with the children the Israelis take form them sand claim are in prisons?
Children are worth more than gold to the Lucferians, children and their blood are their own personal currency, for which they pay all the money they make by pulling out of thin air.
That is the truth.
“…Before the money system arrived, there were no wars in places like America, where Native Americans lived in peace….”
This sentence is incorrect. Those people NEVER lived “in peace”, and have ancient ongoing wars with each other. Perpetuation of the “peaceful, noble savage” myth is one of the foundations of a lot of the U.S.’s internal problems.
On the one hand much of what you are saying is generally correct, with regards the last thousand years. One the other hand, a lot of holes can be poked in the details of your statement.
“What is the Kalergi Plan for six million, Alex”
Gotta say, Blood Meridian is a kickass read.
I don’t want to harsh your mellow but facts are facts. The Republican Governor’s Association is the people who teamed up with the Sea Island billionaires to bring us DeSantis.
Better to stand alone, naked but for a sword, to face the on rushing hordes of Genghis Kahn – than to allow a snake like Mitt Romney of Ron DeSantis to stand behind you.
