Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

My conundrum, inspired by the RFKjr shift,,,,

I’m a libertarian, NO PARTY AFFILLIATION,,,  But the small ‘l’ type libertarian.   I am also a free market capitalist.  

And I understand and TRY to apply the N.A.P. to most of life.   Note; Non- aggression principles DO NOT mean I won’t kick your ass, it just means “don’t start nuthin’, won’t be nuthin’ ” 

but where I run into an issue is in some of the things RFKjr brought up in his speech.   We obviously do NOT reside in a free market economy: that there are mega-corps feeding on massive profits isn’t the problem,,, its that they are doing so with no accountability to their customers, and from all that RFK mentioned, they are doing their customers GREAT HARM.   Harm that spans decades, and is growing in intensity.  

I’m all about making a profit, but not so much so that I would fuck over a customer to make that profit, let alone, damage them in health, or prosperity.   The whole idea of free exchange is that both parties are satisified with the ending.    If one side is unaware of the dangers in a transaction but the other side is aware of, and willfully established the danger in production, then I have a serious problem with it.

Think about it this way: the Automotive industry does recalls for safety issues on a regular basis,, yes, the protocols of that are sort of weak (so many deaths/damages paid=recall, below that; ‘fuck ’em’.) but they do it because to not do it will damage thier integrity to the point where they may not be able to do business at all.   Granted, they are also regulated Giants, and have some sway in things (until Oblammy-o-boy and his EPA mandates that are killing the whole industry.) but there is some Integrity and ethics involved.

We know Big Pharma has linched-pinned into the entire Medical Complex and that there are doctors that will push whatever their bosses want pushed this week (like a certain weight loss drug, Ozempic, that is banned in several Euro states and with good reasons.  Its being pushed big time here, and is moving because we DO have a weight problem in this country.  Problem being, there are OTHER ways of dealing with that problem and it boils back to Big AGRA stuffing our food full of shit that makes food ADDICTIVE (and hormone laden and stuffed with additives that are  questionable in their need or utility to the product.)

And Our Government is rife with agents of both industries, as well as flooded with the lobbyists that pad the pockets of the ‘faithful’ elected that keep the trough over-flowing in regulation and laws that choke those that DO have integrity and want to keep their custom base alive, so they can keep spending money.   The whole thing reeks of Conspiracy to keep milking the herd for every ounce of gelt they can get, until the individual herd members choke and die.  WHO cares so long as the herd as a whole keeps on buying those cheetos and doritos and stuffing their gullets with CRAP,,,, so that the Medical complex can keep making (lifelong) Patients and milking the other side of that Cow.

And of course the GOV gets to tax us on everything else along the way,,,,,

Thinking along these lines,,,,, I really want to just ‘give up’,,, but that does nothing good and living like Crusoe is not viable in this world.    Yeh, could go and become a homeless person and drop from the societal roles, but that does nothing to change the fact that the food we are allowed choice in (for the most part) is ABSOLUTE POISON with long term effects.

Point of order here: a few years ago (around the time the COVIDIOCY began) I was dallying with the Paleo Diet.   Nothing but MEAT,,,  Red meat, white meat, fish meat, bird meat, you name it,,,,   And my energy levels EXPLODED and I started dropping weight WITH NO OTHER CHANGES.  Just what I was eating at meals.    I was buying the fresh stuff, nothing in a can or box (in the case of fish) and kept what I drank during the day the same.    I dropped a pound or so a week for the first three, then it went to two plus, and after three weeks at that, went back to a pound and started to decline.   I was back to my “fightin’ ” weight’ of 185, puttng on some muscle while shedding that belly and flab.

Of course, when shit went sideways with lockdowns and what not, keeping to that diet was harder: Hours were down, getting into the stores that sold the fresh stuff I prefered was off the table (I refused to wear that muzzle of shame and Krogers was very much on that horsecart then,)

Right now, I am ‘shopping around’.    I want back on that diet, I need a refrigeration system I can rely on. (my current fridge is ‘maybe today,,, maybe not’, and I don’t keep anything in it that can spoil quickly, like fresh meat.   I buy kow for mama daily because she will eat what I buy before it ‘turns’.)   and a new unit must be ‘three way’ : AC, DC or propane.   I don’t have the power supply to run an AC fridge 24/7.  that means I use the DC or propane (winter time)

and those fuckers are pricy, let me tell you. 

BUT, Shopping around.   I found the cattle guy over in TN so beef isn’t an issue, it’s just cost prohibitive until I can afford to buy and KEEP a side of beef ‘on ice’.   (and why I am building that food drier)  I’m looking for a supplier of chicken and eggs (and may opt to start raising them myself instead,,,).    Dairy is something that I will use the stores for still, since we don’t really have much dairy land around here; its all shipped in.  I just have to be frugal and start reading labels n such. (more so really,, already do, and avoid things like ‘anything SOY’ or some chemical name that requires me to resort to phonics to sort out,,,,)

The other option ( which is even more expensive) is to go back on grid and install AC in the house and go through all the inspections I was able to bypass by living off-grid, and LIKELY being told I would have to demolish my place and rebuild (not to code!!!)

I’m not looking at living forever, but I do want to be able to enjoy the rest of what I have left.   And I found that eating ‘normal fair’ has done bad things to me. Reading about it from RFK only reinforced what I was thinking on that matter.  

THEY are trying to kill us, dumb us down and make us mere cattle for their benefit.

FUCK THEM!!!   I’m human, You are HUMAN.   I’m not sure about THEM anymore.  (no, I am not buying into the ‘lizard people’ thing, but the way they act and the things they do, I have to wonder just how much humanity has been bred out of that group,,,,)

My hope for the future is that Trump manages to beat the steal, that he brings RFK on board to head the BIG PHARMA/BIG AGRO clean-up crew, Rand Paul to head the clean up of the Education side of things, and Rand’s Dad, Ron to head the Department of Treasury (that would be a hoot,, talk about being able to DEMAND an audit of the FED!!!)   I know, pipe dreams, but we are getting to the point that is all we have left because to focus on what looks ‘inevitable’ is damned depressing and makes a body want to crawl under a rock,,,,

only the future knows what it holds, and it IS NOT written in stone.   Anything could happen in the next three months to election day, and the remaining three months before inaugeration.

and nukes could fly on November 6th,,,

no one KNOWS,,,,

Eat well,

keep on livin’

learn something new today,,,

Keep laughing at them, because while they are scary in their beliefs, they are also quite funny in their stoopidity,,,

and keep loading those inventories of what you have and will need.

    Yanow, that there dehydrator yer a-building has piqued my interest. Been looking at a couple, nut they’re way to $$$. Sumthin like yer doing is a good idea. I’m a-gonna be following that fer sure.

    Now that Paleo diet is sumthin that I’ve considered, meself. I’ve managed to lose 3-4 pounds, but that’s over a roughly 3 month period. Gotta do sumthin different, and, again, you’ve piqued my interest. Enuff so, that I’m gonna be checking into it again.

    As to RFK jr, I’m seeing the same. It appears that our election will be even more interesting! Pipe dream(s)? Yepper, but there’s no predicting things. Those 3 folk in those 3 positions? Holy sheep shit – whatta fantastic thing that’d be!!

    On a totally off topic note – yesterday was a church day. Grandson and I went to the range and had a fantastic day! Today is fun show day. A good weekend, indeed!! Got the Wylde rifle sighted in with the scope, and discovered that it RILLY likes the Federal Gold Medal Match 69gr. A decent second is the SMK 77gr OTM. Guess what I’ll be a-lookin fer today?? Nuff said!

    Y’all take care (4 L’s doncha know),

    • as for the paleo,,, biggest thing I found was getting away from EVERYTHING processed had the biggest effect. Fresh cut meats, the few veggies the paleo allows straight off the shelf, (and wash the danged things good.) fresh caught fish,,,(and you being in Floriduh, you have the best of the best, FRESH SEAFOOD, Look to the local docks and see what peeps are selling)
      Last night I slid back into that diet. Had me a RIbeye steak with green olives and extra sharp chedder cheese slices on the sides. Nomnomnom,,,, And today I am bouncing off the walls, after sleeping like a baby. HOW is that not a good thing? It’s a leetle pricier for me as I have to buy on demand (can’t store shiite) and that bothers me a bit since things look like they may get even more interesting (Kamal-toes price control forecasts,,,, she ain’t out YET,,, ) but I’m running with it while I can.

    And….. I scored on some FGMM 77gr. Only got 4 boxes – all he had – but got ’em for $30 a box since I bought all he had. Figure in S&H, and that’s right there, price wise. Got a *bit* of this, but no 77gr. BTW, what I said before about the FGMM 69gr – that shiite wuz the cat’s meow!! several 1 hole groups at 100 – 1 of ’em with 5 distinct edges. Ain’t bad fer an Olde Pharrtt that’s blind in 1 eye, and cain’t see fer shiite outta the other! Looks like I’ll be investing in **some** shortly😲🙃.

    Good to know about the Paleo, too. Grandson says he could deal with it, too, but he doesn’t need any weight loss. He’s only about 150# now – but he’s been 82nd Airborne for the last 11 years, with 4 combat tours – the boy doesn’t have ANY fat on him. Got some research to do, I do! BTW, while he’s waiting on the ((VA)) to fix their screwups with his bennies, he’s been invited to be an RSO at our local range. Fantastic opportunity for him, fer sure. And, it’ll help out his head a LOT, too. Get his mind focused, ya might say. Dam glad I could be around to help him out. Nuff said!

    Y’all take care (4 L’s),
