E-Mail 'The Survivalist's Odds 'n Sods:' To A Friend

1. On the Transformation of our culture. This has been heavy on my mind for a while now. I’ve wondered why God had me get a degree in Theology. I hadn’t used it. Now I’m starting to get the picture. It’s so I won’t be led astray by these foreign religions and philosophies. It’s so sad to see.

2. Question: Does anyone notice, or think that there may be a relationship between all the “doom” news and the increased level of surveillance?

3. Looked at DHS site and there is no mention of article relating to being prepared.
   WHAT GIVES??

   1. The FEMA site has info on being prepared, n it has changed over the years.

   2. this info was in the article from above:

      https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/NIAC%20Catastrophic%20Power%20Outage%20Study_508%20FINAL.pdf

4. The Johns Hopkins study’s findings parallel those of Wright/Rossi/Daly’s “Under The Gun” from 1985, on Florida’s gun control laws. No effect on the rate of violent crimes with firearms. (Univ. of Fla. press.)

5. Auer and Chevron Defense
   The notion that anybody in government anywhere and at level will raise one finger to defend freedom, especially guns, is now a ridiculous proposition. The US government functions solely for its own purposes of money and power accumulation. SCOTUS are traitors and Kavanaugh, if anybody had paid attention to the actual answers he gave during the Q&A of his confirmation would have immediately noticed that he is a capital L, Liberal. Funny that, how all of the accusations got Republicans to rally around somebody who supports Stare dicisis in Roe, the Common Use Test in Heller, the Welfare State, The Warfare State, and the continued obliteration of the US Constitution through case law results instead of a Constitutional Republic with a supreme law.

   California Gun Law’s Impact
   You perhaps misunderstand you enemy. You are looking at the problem from a gun rights perspective and your enemy is looking at it from a gun control perspective. They will never agree or even listen. They want you dead.

   By any reasonably objective measure and not just economics, Trump is not conservative.

   1. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being totally Conservative and 10 being totally liberal/socialist Pres. Trump is probably a 3 1/2 to 4 and the Democrats are about a +15, Pres Trump is doing pretty well considering he is one man standing alone. Unlike the lone man standing in front of the tank in China, Pres Trump would be track grease if a Democrat was driving the tank

      1. What is surprising to me is that Trump is actually ruling more conservatively than any president in my lifetime (including Reagan). While Trump himself is not what I would consider a man of principle, so far his judgments and actual implementations are moving in that direction. What he says and what he does are often two different things. I wonder if that has to do with his experience as a CEO? Obama micromanaged things. Trump seems to speak wildly, yet let those he appoints make the decisions that they were hired to do.

   2. Trump was and still is a democrat,new yorker. The goal posts have just been moved enough to change public perception

6. Look at it this way, suggesting that Americans keep 14 days of food and supplies on hand is actually an improvement. Every FEMA advisory I have seen in the past has told Americans to have 3 days of food and water on hand.

   I suspect that there are forces at work in Washington that result in a “dumbing down” of advice in order to maintain the illusion that 14 days will be enough. Not wanting to cause a “panic” is probably a concern.

   Given that the report mentions the likelihood of the early onset of “civil unrest,” it is completely contradictory to then advise keeping a mere 14 days of food and water on hand. If riots and looting are taking place, and if it will take months to restore power in places (which is no doubt inappropriately optimistic), exactly how is a person to go about obtaining food and water after that 14 days of food storage is exhausted?

   The fact is that most Americans will never even read the warnings in this report. Even most of those that do will ignore it and return to watching “Dancing with the Stars.” The Normalcy Bias is dominant. Almost assuredly, the result will be that any change in public attitudes will be inconsequential.

   For those who have made preparations and wish that others would become like-minded, the Prayer of Serenity offers advice, “…accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

   Plan accordingly.

7. Over 40,000 illegal migrants have entered Canada in the last 2 years and many more are on their way. Guess where they’re from? The good ole US.
   Haitians and Nigerians with expiring visas also looking for better welfare, but you’ll get them back eventually, our border is 3,000 miles long.

8. “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering. But if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell HOW SUDDEN A CATASTROPHE may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.” -Daniel Webster, American statesman (1782 – 1852 A.D.)

   “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” Psalm 118:8-9

   “SALVATION is of the LORD.” -Jonah 2:9c

   “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from DEATH UNTO LIFE.” -Christ Jesus “The LORD our righteousness” as per John 5:24 [KJV]

9. Good to know that Canada will be accepting excess numbers of freeloaders. You know…lazy no-good bums with sub-par hygiene who don’t work but need healthcare, education, expensive dental work, free housing, free food and welfare for their extended families of 50 or 100…er…I mean fine upstanding peasant vagabonds without portfolio.

10. So, as much as I like the Redoubt, if this UN Migration nonsense passes, we could all find a large island or small country somewhere, migrate there taking our gold, guns, and God, and settle in and displace the local population, if any while depriving the US of most of its real brains and hands?

    And the downside is?

    Can we “migrate” to the Redoubt in the sense of a Bug-In bag or Staycation? Then demand as much as any other refugees (see Muslims demanding Mosques and Halal meat) here? And to recognize our “unique” culture that requires owning AR-15s like Sikhs have knives?

    1. Going Galt

11. Not only is Kavanaugh not a conservative, neither is Roberts. Look into the latest decision, or should I say non decision on States refusing to fund Planned Parenthood. They choose to refuse to hear a case that had made it’s way to the court. Thomas wrote the dissent, Alilto and Gorsuch signed on to the dissent, wanted to hear the case, Roberts and Kavanaugh voted not to hear the case. It takes 4 justices to agree to hear a case. Like Thomas said in his dissent, if Planned Parenthood had not been involved, we would have heard this case (paraphrased).

12. Remember, it is only to us patriots that American is in decline. To the opposition its a brave new world where they are shaking off the old colonialism that stole from others around the globe to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Half our population favors socialism because our institutions that have supported this republic over the centuries were taken over while we all slept. Education, justice in the courts, our representatives, corporations, entertainment have been absorbed into an anti-constitutional force arrayed against what we always have believed was the “Land of the Free and Home of the brave”. Its not coming back! The question now is how will be survive whats coming and what will it be like on the other side?

13. I would say with a grid down situation having your long term food storage is important but whats more important is your ability to garden and can and make more food. Its good to get thru winter but the long term goal is the next growing season here in the cold northeast.

14. We did not ratify the landmine treaty for a reason instead of building wall up go wide seams they climb all fences so lay mines everywhere for 100 yards wide, small fence do not enter cross at own risk. Word will get around. We won’t need to pay $50,000 to get them to go home and make their land safe.

15. James 2:18
    But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

    Perhaps the gentleman was a prepper.

    Carry on.
