I saw this earlier today on 4chan, and it piqued my interest. I tried to keep up with the story of “The Coup” from the beginning. But, to tell you the truth: When the cast of characters in a book gets too large and overwhelming, I lose interest.

I love “The Hobbit” and have read it umpteen times, but have never been able to get more than a few pages into “The Simarillion.”

Same with this story. At one time, I thought Bannon was the good guy. Or the bad guy. Or the good guy, playing the bad guy. Or more likely, the bad guy playing the good guy. Eventually, I was losing track of who was on who’s team. I couldn’t keep up with the cast of characters, or the subtleties of the whole legal process.

Not really anything for me to comment on, personally, except to say that: I got some positive feedback from Part I in this series, so hopefully, Part II will resonate with some of the TBP’ers. I feel like Spirko’s analysis is spot on. Can anyone trouble-shoot any of the logic in here?

I have two kids left in the public school system here in Dallas/Fort Worth. I can say that I am 100% ready to pull my kids from the school and get them through their school work in 2 days, and put the remaining time into building them a little lawn care or dog shit removal business or something like that.

I am not The Survival Podcast. Just an avid listener and fan. I started listening  to TSP since the very beginning of the show, back in 2008-ish. I find Jack Spirko’s analysis to be spot-on. I’ve also been fortunate enough to meet him out on his farm, west of Fort Worth a handful of times. I find him to be genuine. Jack is probably in my top five of internet influencers, right up there with Jim Quinn and TBP. Posted for your consideration and comments.

The Coming Economic Crash – Part 1 – Real Estate

SMALL BUSINESS SUNDAY

It’s not an official TBP tradition, but everything happens here organically, anyway. I saw a post the other day from a TBP’er about his small business, and I saw that the post got some good feedback, so I thought I’d write a second post about a small business, and see if the trend catches on. You know, that YouTube vid about the second guy, first follower, is really the most important guy?

I started a TBP series back in 2016. It never really caught on. I wrote a few articles and then gave up. I had intended for it to become a long-term journal of a regular rank-and-file W2 earner who gets out of the Rat Race. I sent an email to ask Jim if I could write a regular series about my small business journey. He said that might be a good idea, as the website could use an uplifting article every now and then.

Found this webm online of young Greta. It doesn’t have sound, so you can watch body language without being distracted by sound.

Based on e’rything ole’ Hardscrabble has learned us ’bout watchin’ cows and what-not, see what you’ns think about Great Van Adderall.

I haven’t seen this particular Q-Post posted on TBP. But, my bandwidth in life is limited, and I’m not on here much more than scanning. Point is, if this has already been posted, please forgive me.

I was on 4-chan the day that the original Q started posting the breadcrumbs. It was all very exciting. I followed the Q postings very closely for quite a while. Then, less so. Now, I’m interested if I see a Q post or analysis, but I take them with a big shrug of the shoulders, and a large grain of salt.

Since I watched the video of the Arizona cop shooting the man in the motel hallway, I’ve thought of little else. It’s obvious (to me) that the man was murdered. Further, it’s also obvious to me that police today, are little more than psychopathic thugs who get off on abusing their power. OK, maybe that’s an oversimplification. But not entirely far from the truth. Mark Passio’s work at www.whatonearthishappening.com has greatly influenced my thoughts on this. Give his podcasts a listen, if you haven’t already.

Yesterday, I made a comment on a post that the MOAB bomb dropped in Afghanistan may have been made in my wife’s hometown in Oklahoma, and how proud the local denizens are of their bomb factory.

I was not wrong. Today, on Facebook, I saw this picture posted among several of my Oklahoma friends pages. They’re proud of their bombs.

It’s insane to me that they think this way. I guess it’s ok if bomb making provides lots of good paying jobs in an otherwise depressed economy. If you’re only choice of a job is to ring the register at Wal-Mart or stamp out the fins that make the bombs fly straight…..

I saw this on Facebook this morning, and it made me think of Billy.

Oh, Billy. Where art thou?

Here’s the deal, kids:

This is a 1953 Ford F-1 4X4. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.

It’s a Ford. It rides like a Ford. It drives like a Ford. All of these are GOOD things.

It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures.

I guess I write in a rambling, stream-of-consciousness style. That’s ok for now, because at this point, this blog only serves as a place to gather my own thoughts. If it reads a little chaotically, that’s symptomatic of the noise inside my head. But I feel like I’m at a point that I’m beginning to bring it all together.

Months ago, I was thinking about selling some surplus stuff on eBay. I was looking for a podcast to help me learn the ins and outs of selling on eBay. Based on the search terms, I found a podcast called, “Land Academy.”

Land Academy is a podcast that tells you how to buy rural land, cheap, and then market the land on the internet, using channels like eBay, amongst others. Hence, the search tag for eBay.

I started listening to the podcast, and started to get really intrigued. Could this really work like they say it does? Can you really make some dinero by purchasing land, cheap, and then re-selling it? The hosts of the podcast, Jill & Steve, have really good rapport on the show, so the podcast is engaging and a fun listen. I listened to all of the podcasts as I was outside, working in my yard.

I received this comment on my last blog post:

“Passion is the final piece of the puzzle. Without passion, none of the ideas you come up with will work as you won’t put the time in! I imagine it’ll take a huge chunk of your life in starting up. If you don’t care for what you do, you’ll drop it and find another employee job! I say keep dreaming till the one you’re passionate about overtakes and consumes your mind. Then do that!”

I actually have put a lot of time into thinking about the subject of passion. I just haven’t posted about it yet. I think about the balance of passion vs. the viability of the business idea. In my first post, I mentioned a friend of mine who mad oodles of money, assembling lamps from components made in China. I seriously doubt he was passionate about Chinese made lamps. But, he made a bunch of money assembling & selling them. He saw an opportunity, and he seized it.

My passion is Permaculture. What is Permaculture, you might ask? Now, this particular post cannot be an in-depth look at Permaculture. Entire books have been written about the subject. I can, however, present a thumbnail sketch, so you can be familiar with the concept.

Rush, “Freewill”

because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

James 1:6-8 (NIV)

Last Saturday, I had a revelation: “This is the biggest crock of shit, ever.”

What was I doing that caused such great awareness in my life?

I suppose very little needs to be written about eBay, in terms of bringing new knowledge to anyone out there about how eBay works. Everyone knows how eBay works. You have some shit. Take a photo of it, list it and voila! Someone buys your shit. If you have a piece of toast with The Virgin Mary’s image on it, you may even make some really insane money. (linky here)

People are stupid.
