a little clarification

In my postdark thinks and clocks ticking, I mentioned the Brinksmanship of Trumped having severely negative effects on my psyche.

I was reminded of growing up under the Cold War state,,, Never knowing if/when, though the how was quite well-spread and Illustrated

Trumped may have been confident in his Posturing: me, seeing a different picture, the one from old boots on the ground, looking at current alliances, and general ill-will that we are experiancing as a nation across the globe: self induced ill-will, mind you. At no other time in history has a sitting President (no matter if he was duly elected or shammed in: thats a different point entirely) was kidnapped from his home in the dead of night to stand trial in a foriegn country. With many charges against him being strictly laws of the kidnapping country,,, That action is going to have long reaching consequences, and not all of them will be to our benefit. (I can garantee you, every sitting pres, or PM or whatever UPPED the security around them within hours of that report coming out…)

I’m no fan of the FUSA being “World Cop”. and the current trend has taken the old trend to a whole new level.

BUT

I am starting to get the impression that Trumped is starting to realize he was the “Mark” in the MiddleEast game of Three Card Monte.

And I lay equal blame on his staff of yes-people that don’t want to show him the reality of the situation for fear of his reactions…. Thats the problem with “zero tolerance’ administrations. People need the freedom to tell the boss “You’re Fucked in the head sir, if you go this route”. The Boss may not like it, but too damned bad: that freedom of expression is the colbalt rod in the nuclear reactor of world politics.

Now, last night I posted that Trumped has thrown his people under the bus. I’m talking all the MAGA people, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson,,,

All of the people in that ‘Truth’ social post he mentioned. I see the vitriol spreading to others out here in the Main Street USA as well, and I wanna ask, “Are you no longer in agreement with thier ideas, or are you just sucking the teat of propaganda so hard you can’t hear yourself think?”

No need to answer that,,,, I have my opinion thats buried in how I phrased that.

Heres the clarification. I have never made any statement saying I “like” Trump. I have always felt he is an arrogant obnoxious narccisist, but out of the other side of my mouth, I have stated he IS a successful businessman and that what this country needed was a CEO, not some politico career oriented stool pigeon.

The problem as I now see it, is one of INSULATION and COMPROMISE. He is far too insulated from us “Boots on the Ground” types, is potentially compromised by those that are in esscense providing that insulation. He may even be further compromised by a certian YOUNG STATE from the ME that has tons of dirt on him, as was, quite breifly, aired then deleted, with the initial release of the Epstien Files. (and oh boy, the stuff leaking out from what was captured,,,,)

That combination has, is having, serious flashback. IT could even flashback harder than what we have seen. I as I stated to one of the guys I was discussing this with IRL, “The problem with bluffing like that? Eventually someone is gonna call your bluff.”

And then there is a thing that Sarah Hoyt has pointed out on occasion, among a few others. Nuclear weapons have a half life, everything radioactive has a half life: degradation is literally built in. And what I am gonna say next applies to ALL Nuclear powers, not just us. The Cold War was technically over in 92. That was over 30 years ago: Does anyone even know if our 30+ year old weapons are still viable,,, Or Russias, or Chinas,,, I know the Ballistic missiles we designed back in the day are so antiqueated that we don’t even know how to make the propellant anymore. Whats the status of Russias’? Though we do know they didn’t stop making missiles, and have even exceeded our tech on that note: the question being, are their Nukes any good?

How much of this posturing is completely Empty threats that ALL of the Superpowers KNOW is empty threats because the toys are now ‘hot lead’, but tossed out there to keep US, the boots on the ground, the populace that keeps the machine moving with tax revenue, on the edge of our seats and scared silly?

We may never know, and honestly, I hope we never find out,,,,

SO,,, now that I have done a little clarification, let me address the way I see me moving forward here at the shop. THIS post is the last of the political sprectrum, though I may occasionally toss out an Anti-Government MEME or three.

INSTEAD, I am going to post topics about Living off-grid, how to’s, alternate things that are options for all of the above, and maybe a thing or three on how to avoid the middleman of G00bermint in permission slips. Keep in mind, your state is going to have different laws and opinions of ‘acceptable’ behaviour: I am no lawyer, nor do play as one on TV, Take my words as entertainment only and NO CONSEQUENCES ACCEPTED BY SELF if you choose to make the attempts on your behalf.

One of the biggest things I want to talk about is “Building materials” and Building codes that are not designed to make your home ‘more livable’, but to line someones or some industries pockets. There is a dead simple way to keep homes cool in the summer without HVAC units that measure in tonnage of air movement. A simple Black pipe (4-8″ dia) on the south-west corner of the house, external, but plumbed back through the wall to some ceiling vent. Floor vents that access the crawl space or basement area. The sun hits the pipe, creates a pressure difference, that pulls hot air out of the house, replacing it with cooler air from beneath the house. The whole thing can be shut off in the winter months. Total cost $100-$1000 depending on if you do the work or hire out. If built while building,,,,

Theres more,,,

Some of the subjects may be things I have done, am doing, wish to do, and I will let you know the difference as I post them.

Self sufficiency is my Center,,, DOING THINGS is my ground, and as long as I can keep the “News of the day” not get embedded in my skin, I can keep those two points just fine.

Hope all of that unfiltered mind-dump explains the past few days.

LIVE, REALLY LIve!!!

LOVE, like you never hated

LAUGH like you were 5 again.

LEARN like Socrates

LOAD, because real insurance isn’t free.
