…the United States, in part as the result of Silicon Valley and technology-industry user policies, and in part by surveillance of social media activity by private companies.” Social Credit Score to Determine Who Can Buy a Gun? Speaking of Orwellian Social Credit Scoring, yesterday there was this disturbing news, reported by Paul Joseph Watson: Trump Administration Considering Social Credit Score System to Determine Who Can Buy a Gun. JWR’s Comment: I haven’t yet seen this confirmed by another news outlet, but if it is true this would crumble the bedrock foundation of the 1st Amendment, freedom of association, the 4th Amendment, and the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment! Just a ‘Justice-Involved Person’ Peter sent us the link to this Fox News report: San Francisco board rebrands ‘convicted felon’ as ‘justice-involved person,’ sanitizes other crime lingo.

SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods— a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “HJL”. More Social Media news today. Social Media Reader S.M. sent in this article on how the State Department has unveiled new rules that require most visitors or immigrants to the United States to turn over their recent social media histories. This is part of President Trumps “extreme vetting” national security enhancements. Given that social media is a primary means of communication among radicals, this is certainly a step in the right direction. Also encouraging is the mandate that visitors from countries who practice female genital mutilation will be directed to information sources that ensure that they know the practice is illegal in the United States. o o o Do you know of people who announce that they are going on vacation on…


Preventing the Statists’ Planned Coup de Maître

…provides 24/7 access to video games, movies, sports, porn and social media and we also have our Soma, …anti-depressants, adderall, ritalin, meth, hillbilly heroin, etc. The thing is, why would you expect the “eLite” to allow you to share information on THEIR social media that disturbs THEIR social order? Why would you expect the Elite to allow you to be armed? Or allow you to control your children’s education, or choose your own doctor, or God forbid, allow stupid “deplorables” to actually elect the President of the United States? In the past, when the oppression became intolerable, people would sail to new lands and rebuild their own society. When there was no where else to go, the answer either became civil war, or a rejection of the outside world, like the Amish. Either choice is a hard one. Mr C Agreed, right on the money, the brainwashing campaign will be…

…(Mitchell vs. Wisconsin) in which Wisconsin police officers read an unconscious man his rights and then proceeded to forcibly and warrantlessly draw his blood while he was still unconscious in order to determine if he could be charged with a DUI.” Banning Pictures of Guns on Social Media? Over at AmmoLand: Proposed Ban on Social Media Gun Pictures Proves Gun Control is Total Control. Here is a quote: “If you post it on social media, that’s probable cause for us to come get the guns out of your house,” Democrat Florida State Senator Jason Pizzo proclaimed in a Facebook video three years ago. “That’s it. It’s now on you to explain why you have a gun in your house and why it’s on social media…” He was stumping at the time to change the law to deny the right to keep and bear arms to young adults old enough to…


Terms of Temerity: Why The Left Loathes The Words We Use

…may upset liberally-educated, emotionally immature, or emotionally unstable individuals. Seek a safe space, preferably with puppies and coloring books. Terminology Clarification One introductory note about terminology, for our foreign readers: American liberalism isn’t what’s termed libéralisme in France and other French-speaking countries. It is much closer to what is called social democracy in France and throughout the rest of Europe. In this essay I will generally use the word leftist rather than liberal. Here are 100 specific examples of words and phrases that leftists seem to loathe–at least in their original denotations. I will also summarize their thought processes, and many of their attempts to push alternative definitions: Agenda: Leftists use the word Agenda only to refer to The Right Wing Agenda. To them, there is no Left Wing Agenda. They substitute “cause”, “struggle”, “movement”, or the ever-handy “activism.” Alternative Media: To a conservative, this means Sean Hannity. To a…


Your New Normal, by SaraSue

…are using it. Even if you really like FaceBook for the Friend connections, you can do what we always used to do: call them or actually spend time with them in person. FaceBook is the biggest time sink! Do this, if you don’t believe me, keep track of how many minutes out of the day you interact with “social media”. Then, keep track of how many minutes you have real conversations with other human beings. Compare. Think about how much time you spend thinking about what you saw on social media. I know, it’s addictive! One statistic I read stated that users in the United States spent on average 2 hours and 3 minutes per day on social media. You can reclaim your life, your time, and your relationships by giving social media the boot. If you make your money using social media tools, it may be very difficult to…


Should I Bug Out or Survive in Place?- Part 3, by Jonathan Hollerman

…if you live in an upscale gated community with a security guard, it’s not going to matter. Once the grocery stores are looted, I can assure you that the inner-city population is coming to your rich neighborhood next. Bubba, the rent-a-cop at the front gatehouse is not going to stop them. Rich people are hoarding all the food, right? The main stream media and the progressive left have been promoting class warfare for quite some time. You need to understand that there is a rapidly growing segment of the population that hates rich people. Most media outlets have people believing that the rich are to blame for the poor’s circumstances. For now, these mini-Marxists may just talk tough on their social media posts; however, when they start going hungry, they are going to get angry. At first their anger will be directed towards the government, whom they believed would always…


Tyranny Theory, by A.T.

…that benefits all of us. The Humanities and Social Sciences , on the other hand , are a malign curse which should receive no taxpayer funding at all —- no exemption from taxes, no federal funding of scholarships and research, and no student loans. I would make an exception for archaeology, which still respects the truth due to its close ties to physics and chemistry. Throughout history mankind had been cursed by false prophets — men who earn their living by crafting deceit. Our Rich elites need large masses of unemployed liars who will promote their agendas without question. Not just in politics and in the News Media — but on Wall Street as well and in our schools as well. And the best way they have found to create such a large mass of unquestioning liars is to encourage students to major in the Humanities and Social Sciences. To…

…numbers are plummeting. They might somehow blame themselves for not being popular, when it is actually an algorithm that has been set at war with them. Deplatforming. Presently, de-platforming has been limited to just social media accounts. But it could easily be expanded to include terrestrial and satellite Internet Service Providers, phone services, teleconferencing services like Zoom and Skype, VPNs, and more. Lowering financial credit scores with erroneous reports. Take note that you can check your credit score annually, with each of the major credit reporting agencies, at no charge. Lowering social credit system scores. Today, a social credit system is only used in mainland China. They call it shèhuì xìnyòng tǐxì. It is a national credit rating system and blacklist. It is used in a variety of ways to limit job opportunities, purchases, social contacts, and travel. The Infogalatic Wiki reports: “As of June 2019, according to the National…

…throw the 2020 election. Anyone who opposes the Democrat/socialist agenda is now fair game for censorship. They have now effectively declared war on conservatives and traditionalists. And, since smartphones and social media have become ubiquitous, the tech corporation’s leftist leadership now controls the sociopolitical narrative. Unwittingly, their machinations have also set the stage for a Second Civil War. In a 2013 essay, I pointed out the importance of defending the English language. (See: Incendiary Words: Of Detonations and Denotations.) By redefining the words “hate speech” to match their political agenda, the Tech Left attempting a political masterstroke. Do not let them succeed. We must develop alternative platforms and methods of correspondence, to counter the Tech Left’s censorship. Reversion to forwarded e-mail chains may very well be our new Committees of Correspondence. May God help us.

Propaganda and My Prepping – Part 3, by St. Funogas

…the 80’s, homosexuality was considered abnormal (in textbooks written by experts with PhD). As homosexuality became more common, it ceased to be considered abnormal, and it is now a social faux pas to even slightly allude to it being anything other than mainstream. Was this due to propaganda or social change from people who had different morals and values? As far as changes toward socialism, I believe Benjamin Franklin was correct when he envisioned that ‘When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” I will need to review the correlation of socialism with religion, but I’m willing to bet there is an inverse relationship.

…the customer in a huge way.” What If As I hung up the phone, my mind was a blur with thoughts and frustrations over this ten-day ordeal. What if I needed the money or the credit before the computer could verify that I am who I say I am? What if I hadn’t “passed” the last scan? I’m fairly relentless and resilient and would have involved my attorney next, but what if this was my grandmother or my autistic nephew? What would they have done? A Second Round of Thoughts Flooded Mind Then in another second, another round of thoughts flooded my mind. I thought about Chinese social media scores, artificial intelligence, texting as the primary way to pay bills in Africa, the TSA using facial recognition, the rise of the machines in the Terminator film, the elimination of cash in Sweden, iOS 12 issuing a trust score based on…


Preps for Coronavirus by A.J.S.

…for sharing Ani! I’m one of those people who loves social distancing and can go long periods of time without socializing in person at all. But, I have many family members, including adult children with children, who will have a very difficult time. It’s been instructive to watch my various children’s attitudes and actions. I try to be supportive for each, no fear mongering, give advice when asked, etc. I realize we are all in this together and we are all different. I know this will be particularly difficult for my go-go 85 year old mother. She is a social butterfly and has more energy than I do. I can’t demand her to self-isolate. She will do what she will do. Fortunately, she has good friends who “get it”. I was actually glad that travel to Europe is suspended for 30 days. I thought she might plan some travel, and…


The Measure of a Man, by J.H.

…younger along with having their stupid (smart) phone is another factor from detaching themselves from communicating and their environment. Home school….just because they can google the answer doesn’t necessarily make them smart. The average student over the past decade has disturbingly lower standards. They have little self motivation. The trophy participation or 100% honor roll hasn’t helped either. Pat G. Rodge D. Thank you for that last line …agreed that fathers should teach their daughters by example and clear instruction regarding what qualities a ‘man’ should have. Our young adults today are so confused and misguided thanks to entertainment, social media and the lack of stable family role modelling. JT Great article. While walking out of the grocery store one day, I held the door open for a woman about to walk in. My five year old son darted out the door right in front of her causing her to…
