    Obviously, they aren’t buying any of these “tools” for “peaceful protesters”…

  2. General George S. Patton with a Distinguished Military Career in the US Army. … By his life, he gave good firearm advice to the readers of SurvivalBlog.

    As a younger Officer in the US Army, George Patton was part of the US Army [invasion] down in Mexico, chasing after Pancho Villa (because Pancho Villa robbed banks in the USA, and executed Americans in both the USA and Mexico).
    … … George Patton engaged in a shoot-out with his Colt revolver down in Mexico. He ended up in the midst of the shoot-out with an empty revolver. Fortunately, the other US Soldiers still had ammunition in their rifles.

    Subsequently, there are pictures of General George S. Patton carrying numerous handguns. The General George S. Patton’s advice: A wise man carries a back-up gun during dire times.

  3. I found this interesting:
    https://wingsofprophecy.blogspot.com/2020/11/the-window-of-my-grace.html

    Especially in light of:

    John 9:4-5

    4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

    5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

    1 Corinthians 3:6-9

    6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

    7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

    8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

    9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

    1 Corinthians 15:57-58

    57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

  4. It is not simply voter fraud, but also a massive psy-op that they hope will convince their ‘useful idiots’, the general public, and even Trump’s administration, that Biden has won the election. This video helps explain part of the psy-op.

  6. If one does not have time to keep abreast numerous sources, this might be the best one stop source of information about the progress of the election. Not my style, yet he stays as close to the cutting edge as anyone out there, and delivers almost daily. The show has gained favor as an outlet with some of those who have hard to get information.

      1. It is my understanding that the Secretary of Defense and State have been fired. These would be indications that Trump is working hard behind the scene, and hopefully making critical moves at warp speed. I certainly hope this is the case. Odds are Trump will stay in power, but will he be willing, or able to remove the internal opposition entirely? I was one of many advocates of such back in 2016. And how would he deal with the external threat? Can he save the dollar, and the world? Doubt it, yet Trump could buy us some time.

        1. There are many encouraging developements, and at this rate, there will soon be more, and perhaps enough to justify some optimism. Wish I could compile it all, but those who are following the usual outlets are seeing something simular. Perhaps it is too soon to be more than cautiously optimistic, as these rats may have a nuclear option that divides the country before they can be rounded up. According to Sun Tzu’s doctrine, it appears that at least one or both combatants are on ”death’s ground”, and would therefore fight with extraordinary ferocity, and may obtain some measure of victory, eventhough, or becasue, the odds of victory are nearly zero. It could be that Trump has got these rats trapped, making them extroridinarily dangerous.

          Here is another example of the encouraging news, that is consistant with the pattern that is emerging:

          This time from Mike Adams.

          11/11/20

          Caught big time – Election data log files exposed repeated, criminal vote theft – they are busted

          Mike Adams said:
          ”This is it, folks. The log files of the voting “transactions” have now been analyzed and they show over 500,000 votes removed from Trump and given to Biden, almost entirely in swing states like PA, WI, MI, etc.

          This is the smoking gun evidence, and it was all done by the CIA using the Dominion software system that allows for remote, real-time theft of elections (which is why all the swing states simultaneously shut down their vote counting, so they could rig it from that point forward).

          All the evidence is now coming out. The Dems are finished. Hundreds or thousands will go to prison. Many will begin to flee the country now.”

          Also today: Listen to my emergency update podcast, which reveals what happens next: This election goes to SCOTUS, which kicks it back to Congress, where each state gets one vote. Trump wins in a landslide.

          1. Tunnel Rabbit, Thank you for giving of your time this past week to keep us well informed. Call me negative Nancy, but I hear John Wayne’s voice saying, “That’ll be the day,” concerning any democrat cheaters/alleged felons actually doing any prison time.

            Praise God for the good people with integrity doing the investigations. May God Almighty keep them safe.

            Keeping my hand to the plow, Krissy

  10. On October 20th, I purchased my, “Ultimate Prepper’s Survival Guide,” via Amazon, and it finally arrived tonight.

    I knew it would be wonderful, but this?

    This is magnificent.

    I am blown away by how beautiful it is.

    I delightfully look forward to reading it and improving my preparedness.

    Congratulations on such a fine work, Krissy
