Many Prepper and survivalist websites contain an abundance of material about the likelihood of gun confiscation in the aftermath of a major disaster. The general premise is that government agencies and/or military units will be going door to door after a declaration of martial law to forcibly deprive you of weapons and ammunition. You resist – you die or end up in a prison cell on the backside of some undocumented FEMA camp in the middle of nowhere, or so the theory goes.

Unfortunately, the distinction between local or regional disasters, such as a hurricane or earthquake, and a wider SHTF or “end of the world as we know it” event, are rarely made. In any historic disaster that you can name, the government has always continued to function at both the state and federal levels. A varied collection of mostly nameless bureaucratic agencies has always been able to respond to a recognized need. The degree to which they were timely in their response or even effective, is not an issue. The point is that a constituted and functional government (the people who you think you elected), were responding to a recognized need because they had a political motivation or statutory obligation to do so.

Most frequently cited in Prepper articles is the warning that gun confiscation is an inevitable consequence of a declaration of martial law. In the case of Hurricane Katrina, law enforcement personnel were, in fact, going door to door to confiscate firearms. There were numerous highly qualified Search and Rescue teams that refused to go to New Orleans because they were not allowed to carry firearms for their own protection.

If the entire system were to suddenly go sideways, what is the probability of an enforceable martial law declaration, followed by gun confiscation? For example, if a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) event took out the entire national power grid could you realistically expect an army platoon to break through your front door in search of firearms, ammo, and surplus food? I think not.

In order for martial law to be effective, you must first have a means of declaring it to the general populace. Second, you must have a means of enforcing it. The absence of either factor renders the declaration a moot point. Even without a means of communication, citizens will realize that a major catastrophe has happened. If there are no lights on at city hall, it won’t take a genius to figure out that civilization has gone south. Without a means of communication (TV, radio, Internet, posters on telephone poles, etc.) there is no way the general populace would know that martial law has been declared.

Second, if the command and control communications infrastructure has been disabled, government will have no ability to issue notifications or orders to law enforcement agencies (federal, state, county or local). By using the term “infrastructure,” I refer to computer based network communications, the ability to transmit communiqués via radio, the ability to contact and muster enforcement personnel, and essential coordination of resources. Stated a bit more directly, Fort Bliss will not dispatch a battalion of troops from the 1st Armored Division to Albuquerque, New Mexico (a distance of 225 air miles) to confiscate your firearms. They won’t be doing it in Humvees, M1-A1 tanks or Blackhawk helicopters. And they most assuredly won’t be on foot.

Finally, the enforcement of martial law (including gun confiscation) presupposes that county and local law enforcement personnel will be willing to carry it out on a national scale. It is one thing to suppress looters and arsonists, but requiring the military or state/county law enforcement to confiscate 350 million legally owned firearms is an entirely different proposition; especially if they are faced with determined resistance. Importantly, there are an increasing number of county sheriffs across the U.S. that have gone on record to refuse cooperation with federal initiatives that would lead to gun confiscation.

Doing house to house searches – whether vacant or occupied – is a very time-consuming and labor intensive process; not to mention the risks involved. Based on national averages, patrol officers number about 2 per 1,000 residents across the country. In rural communities, that number may be as low as one per thousand. In crime ravaged cities like Chicago, Washington DC and Baltimore, it can exceed four per thousand. When you consider housing and population density in urban areas, gun confiscation would be a daunting task to assign to any police force.

Excluding overseas deployments, the number of active-duty Army and Marines in the contiguous U.S. is significantly less than 500,000. That is less than 1.5% of the entire population. The number of Army/Marine personnel that would be trained and equipped to deprive you of your personal defense weapons would actually be less than one per 10,000 population.

Within a matter of days, every state-side military installation will be in the same situation that you will face: No gasoline, no diesel or jet fuel for vehicles or aircraft, no resupply for commissaries or mess halls, and no direction from the federal or state branches of government. They will be eating MREs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If the grid is down for you, it will be down for them, too. If you don’t have fuel, or if the semiconductor circuits in your vehicle have been fried, do you think the military will escape a similar fate? You can think of it as an ‘equal opportunity’ form of calamity.

A More Probable Scenario for gun confiscation

In my view, the disintegration of government and the abandonment of Constitutional rule of law would rapidly lead to a collapse of civil order. Without a functioning government, looting, arson, and home invasions would erupt within hours – if not minutes – in major population centers. Any form of effective law enforcement (civil or military) would quickly evaporate. Instead, as the realization that civilization, as we know it, has come to an end, local communities and individuals would institute their own versions of martial law, but in a distinctly reverse manner.

The important distinction is that communities would be relying on citizen’s firearms to prevent being overwhelmed by refugees and looters. In other words, if you are inside the compound or town limits, and have possession of a firearm, you will be a defensive asset to the community. Moreover, local law enforcement will likely be aiding your collective defense. The enemy will be on the outside of the barricade.

In a total SHTF scenario, I believe that you are far more likely to be engaged in defending your family, property or survival community from raiders than you would be from government-backed confiscators of your weapons. The more tangible danger is from a still-functioning government that has abandoned Constitutional rule of law.

I’ve read many articles on the World Health Organization’s attempt to take over the U.S. pandemic response through an accord that will allow it to impose vaccines, lockdowns, and essentially any restrictive measure it wants in the name of a virus. But nobody is talking about how the accord will give the WHO complete control over agriculture—wild and domesticated animals—and our food supply.

The WHO’s incoming chief scientist said on Monday governments should invest in vaccines for all strains of influenza that exist in the animal kingdom in case there’s an outbreak among humans.

Jeremy Farhar, who is leaving Wellcome to join the WHO later this year, said during a media briefing in terms of a potential pandemic event, H5N1 is a “big worry.”

Farrar warned the H5N1 (avian) influenza viruses are being allowed to circulate among poultry, wild birds, and mammals—and is the perfect way to “create something nasty.”

This should have your attention full stop because the WHO is gearing up to give itself the authority to declare pandemics and to control this country’s pandemic response. As I reported in a post published earlier today, the WHO has published a draft of the pandemic accord the Biden administration fully intends to enter into.

Tedros: "Next week, countries will begin negotiations on a 'Zero Draft' of the new Pandemic Accord." Once agreed, this "Accord" will subvert all Nations sovereignty and hand it over to the globalists in the WHO. pic.twitter.com/IGbx7b8tzq

— Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis (@DrLoupis) February 22, 2023

What I didn’t dive into is the concerning language that gives the WHO not only the authority to impose mandatory vaccines and lockdowns but allows it to use “viruses” in animals and the threat of a “pandemic” to take over U.S. livestock and our food supply.

The WHO is already letting us know they’re going to start with poultry—and you’re either going to allow your flocks to be controlled, surveilled, and vaccinated, or they’ll be killed so the viruses they don’t have won’t spread to people (or harm the environment). They are already laying the groundwork for this, and the authority they’ll derive this power from is the pandemic accord.

If you read through the 32-page draft of the accord, you’ll see how this document gives the WHO the authority to take control over U.S. agriculture and our food supply:

1. By signing onto the accord, a country acknowledges that “most emerging infectious diseases originate in animals, including wildlife and domesticated animals, then spill over to people.” (See p. 6)
   
   From the outset, they’re laying the foundation that “most infectious diseases” begin in animals; thus, their ability to regulate animals is within their purview.
2. Parties must reaffirm the importance of a “One Health approach” to detect and prevent health threats at the animal and human interface, “in particular zoonotic spill-over and mutations, and to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems.” (See p. 6)
   
   In other words, a member state that signs on to the accord has to agree to drink the Kool-Ade. They don’t want member states dissenting, so everyone needs to “reaffirm” their loyalty to an initiative called the “One Health Approach,” whose scope includes the health of people, animals, AND ecosystems.
3. Parties must acknowledge “the creation of the Quadripartite” to “better address any One Health-related issue.”
   
   Here, you see who will have the “authority” over food and agriculture. It’s not the United States Department of Agriculture, Congress, your states, landowners, or farmers. It’s not even your elected officials or U.S. citizens.
   
   The draft states explicitly that the “Quadripartite” consists of the WHO—whose top three donors include the U.S., Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the People’s Republic of China—the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Organisation for Animal Health, and the United Nations Environment Programme.
4. By signing this accord, a country must commit to integrating a “One Health surveillance system [. . .] to identify and assess the risks and emergence of pathogens and variants with pandemic potential, in order to minimize spill-over events, mutations and the risks associated with zoonotic neglected tropical and vector-borne diseases, with a view to preventing small-scale outbreaks in wildlife or domesticated animals from becoming a pandemic (page 24).”
   
   Furthermore, each party shall “foster actions at national and community levels that encompass whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches to control zoonotic outbreaks (in wildlife and domesticated animals), including engagement of communities in surveillance that identifies zoonotic outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance at source.”
   
   The sections that follow discuss how parties must enhance surveillance to “identify and report pathogens” and strengthen “infection prevention and control in health care settings and sanitation and biosecurity in livestock farms […].”

In other words, if you have your own animals, the WHO is going to know about it and have control over them because . . . viruses.

According to the WHO’s website, OneHealth is an “integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and the environment. It is particularly important to prevent, predict, detect, and respond to global health threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic.”

OneHealth “involves the public health, veterinary, public health, and environmental sectors” and is “particularly relevant for food and water safety, nutrition, the control of zoonoses […], pollution management, and combatting antimicrobial resistance […].”

A One Health High-Level Expert Panel was formed in May 2021 to advise the WHO and other agencies on “One Health” issues. If these “advisors” are anything like the CDC or FDA’s vaccine advisors, we can expect that they have questionable ties to the WHO, Bill Gates, and pharmaceutical companies—and are merely there to enforce the WHO’s agenda.

The WHO’s website further states:

“Critical areas this panel addresses include food production and distribution, urbanization and infrastructure development, international travel and trade, activities that lead to biodiversity loss and climate change, and those that put increased pressure on the natural resource base — all of which can lead to the emergence of zoonotic diseases.”

Do you see what the WHO is doing here? How clever to slide language into a pandemic accord that requires parties to ascribe to this One Health agenda—that is not explained at all in this draft.

The WHO isn’t just putting itself in charge of pandemics; they’re using the reality that some viruses originate in animals to take control of livestock and the food supply—and giving themselves the broad authority to do so in the name of viruses, “biosecurity” and even climate change.

Given Bill Gates is the second largest donor of the WHO and wants “rich nations” to eat “100% synthetic beef” and genetically modified plant-based toxin burgers, this should give you pause. This pandemic accord is the vehicle by which all of the ridiculous initiatives peddled by the elite at the World Economic Forum will be carried out.

This accord will, if entered into by the U.S., usurp our nation’s sovereignty, violate our privacy, restrict our independence, and infringe upon our right to grow our own food and raise our own animals. Everything will be done in the name of a “pandemic,” and we will be powerless to stop it.

Orwell explained that “(i)n a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

He also said that freedom is “the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” 

Most important is truth-telling about issues affecting our lives and well-being — straight talk with no punches pulled.

UK-based Vernon Coleman MD is a national treasure, a truth-telling scholar physician who’s views are based on indisputable facts.

Most recently he asked how many people have flu/covid jabs killed or injured, an issue he earlier raised in summer 2020 on YouTube.

Moments after its release US/Western dark forces removed it.

Though the video and script are available on other platforms.

His remarks are vintage Coleman, never compromising with truths essential for everyone to know.

Author of over 100 books, Coleman said the following in his book, titled “Anyone Who Tells You Vaccines are Safe and Effective is Lying:”

Instead of protecting and preserving health, vaccines destroy it.

Flu/covid kill shots are most hazardous of all.

Virtually everything we’ve been told about flu/covid, experimental drugs for mass-jabbing, lockdowns, quarantines, face masks, PCR tests, and social distancing harms public health, well-being, and our fundamental rights.

All of the above flagrantly breaches the Nuremberg Code, Hippocratic Oath, and the US Constitution.

Long before seasonal flu was renamed covid with diabolical aims in mind, Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn (1926 – 1988) called vaxxing “a medical time bomb,” adding:

The “greatest threat to childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them.”

After administering them early in his practice, he stopped because they destroy health on the phony pretext of providing protection.

No evidence exists to show that they protect against childhood diseases.

The Salk and Sabin polio vaccines cause the disease they claim to protect against.

Salk later admitting that mass inoculations for polio caused an epidemic of the disease after 1961.

Smallpox vaccinations are “the only source of smallpox-related deaths for three decades after the disease disappeared” on its own.

Coleman earlier stressed the following:

Flu/covid “fraud provided an excellent opportunity for scientists everywhere to start shouting publicly about their wonderful new plant based vaccines…(with) food-based” ones to follow.

Imagine what’s coming.

Soon you’ll be genetically modified by eating a specially grown tomato, another fruit, vegetable or something else.

“Tobacco plants are apparently excellent for growing vaccines.”

Exposure to their toxins greatly shortens your lifespan.

Anyone claiming otherwise is lying and Pharma-linked.

Pharma profiteers are “searching for more and more new vaccines, and wherever they spot the beginnings of a market, a demand, they will do their best to serve up something appropriate,” Coleman explained.

All the while, they keep pushing “old faithfuls,” health-destroying cash cows for maximum revenue and profits.

Coleman long ago abandoned efforts to learn which vaccines are more hazardous to health than others.

They’re all toxic and should be shunned.

Yet pushing them is big business for Pharma and doctors who administer them.

Doctors shunning their use and/or going public on their hazards are at risk of being delicensed.

Mass-jabbing is very profitable.

Flu/covid jabs are a profit-producing bonanza for Pharma and doctors.

According to Coleman, “over 100 companies and other groups” are cashing in on toxic flu/covid mass-jabbing.

The market potential is billions of doses multiple times annually for billions of dollars in revenue and profits. 

Yet they’re harming health on the phony pretext of protecting and preserving it.

Instead of curbing flu/covid outbreaks, mass-jabbing is responsible for proliferating it.

And this Coleman reality check, saying:

“Let me now tell you something about vaccine testing and the side effects.”

“This is the scary truth that no one mentioned.”

“You will never hear this from any government hired doctor or scientist.”

“But I promise you this is true.”

“Serious side effects may occur with drugs or vaccines after a considerable number of patients have taken the drug or had the vaccine.”

But the initial testing program will probably never show up those dangerous side effects.

Vaccine development takes a decade or longer.

What’s rushed to market and inadequately tested harms health over the other way around.

Evidence is clear and indisputable.

Everyone jabbed for flu/covid was irreparably harmed, the more jabs gotten, the greater the harm to health.

It can show up straightaway or later.

What’s going on is a “massive (health destroying) experiment.”

Even the Pharma-controlled WHO admitted the following, saying:

“Many aspects of the immune response generated by DNA vaccines are not understood.”

“However, this has not impeded significant progress towards the use of this type of (mass-jabbing) in humans.

Pharma profiteers admitted the reality of significant adverse events.

Jabs assure being genetically modified and having a shorter lifespan.

It’s estimated that millions of jabbed individuals died, millions more irreparably harmed, no one protected as falsely claimed.

That’s the reality that Pharma and US/Western dark forces want kept secret.

How many people will flu/covid mass-jabbing kill if what’s going on isn’t challenged and stopped?

For sure, it’ll be millions more than already.

I agree with Coleman saying:

He’d “rather be dead than have (one or more) flu/covid kill shots alter (his) body, mind and soul.”

“In (his) opinion, that would be a fate worse than death.”

He “will not accept” one or more flu/covid kill shots for this reason.

Neither should anyone else.

If already jabbed, get no more!

In August 2021, the Biden regime illegally froze Afghan funds held at the New York Fed, totaling around $9 billion — including $2 billion held by complicit Western vassals. 

The diabolical action was and continues to be a scheme to deny Taliban authorities access to the nation’s money.

At the time, Biden regime dark forces ordered the IMF and World Bank to deny financial aid to Afghanistan — with more greatly immiserating its people in mind beyond unspeakable horrors they endured for 20 years of US war and occupation.

Illegally imposed sanctions on the country remain in place — with no likely prospect of easing them, more likely to be imposed.

The Biden regime’s so-called “commitment to the Afghan people” is all about no end to imperial ruthlessness as long as Taliban authorities remain free from hegemon USA control.

Last week, the Biden regime’s Treasury Department announced an unacceptable scheme for a so-called Afghan Fund with $3.5 billion to be established at the Basle, Switzerland-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS) — the banking boss of bosses central banker for central bankers.

While deposited at the BIS, Biden regime dark forces will oversee disbursements.

According to two anonymous US Treasury officials, the scheme intends to continue denying the Taliban access to Afghanistan’s money — on the phony pretext providing it to aid ordinary Afghans, ones hegemon USA doesn’t give a hoot about.

The diabolical scheme may also use remaining frozen Afghan funds to aid 9/11 victims — ignoring their state-sponsored victimizer, the empire of lies and forever wars.

Separately in July as part of a record-high enacted military budget for perpetual war-making, Congress included a provision to deny long-suffering Afghans humanitarian aid as long as the nation is free from the scourge of US control.

Nor has there been any accountability for crimes of war, against humanity and related atrocities by the Pentagon and CIA since preemptive war was launched on the country in October 2001 — based on bald-faced Big Lies.

Nor were any US officials charged with torture and abuse inflicted on thousands of political prisoners in Afghanistan and at many other Pentagon/CIA-run global gulag black sites. 

In response to the unacceptable Biden regime scheme for so-called disbursement of stolen Afghan funds, Taliban spokesman, Suhail Shaheen, rejected what no one should accept, saying:

Hegemon USA’s stolen funds “should be returned to Afghanistan,” adding:

“In this critical time when 99% of Afghans are living under the poverty line, it is direly needed that (stolen) reserve(s) (be) return(ed) to the country.”

Freezing billions of dollars 13 months ago continued US war on Afghanistan by other means, its ordinary people harmed most.

In his book, titled “Freedom Next Time: Resisting the Empire,” award-winning journalist, author, war correspondent and documentary filmmaker, John Pilger, explained the following on Afghanistan, saying:

US imperial war on the country since 2001 was the latest chapter of “an age-old story for these beleaguered people who’ve had a long history of conflict and suffering with little relief ever.” 

“For almost a century, the country was victimized by the ‘Great Game’ of competition between the British empire vying with Tsarist Russia for control of this part of the world.”

“In recent history, it paid dearly again in the 1980s when a US recruited mujahedin guerrilla army battled against a Soviet occupation.” 

“It forced the occupiers out but only at the expense of a ravaged country that never recovered throughout the 1990s as a brutal civil conflict followed the Soviet withdrawal.” 

“Then came 9/11 and the US inflicted nightmare that continues to this day with no end in sight.”

“So what was the (US war), invasion and occupation all about?” We now know.”

“(I)t was planned (long) before 9/11 and had nothing to do with a Muslim fundamentalist government…” 

“It had everything to do with an Afghan leadership that wouldn’t surrender its authority to US demands and its imperial quest to dominate this strategically important region.”

“Through all the humanitarian crises in living memory, no country has been abused and suffered more, and none has been helped less, than Afghanistan.”

The longstanding nightmare suffered by its people continues to the present day — hegemon USA its oppressor with no relief in prospect.

A Final Comment

Commenting on the unacceptable Biden regime scheme, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said the following:

The empire of lies and forever wars “announced plans to establish an Afghan trust fund.”

A good will step in the right direction?

Far from it!

Hegemon USA “owes Afghanistan” and its long-suffering people restitution for decades of raping and destroying the country in pursuit of its diabolical aims.

“First (illegally) seize (Afghan) money.”

“Then establish a trust fund” (the US) controls, not the country’s government,” Zakharova explained.

And if implemented, what’ll funds be used for? 

If disbursed for anything, they’ll go for what the US decides at its discretion with its own interests in mind — clearly no intention of aiding ordinary Afghans.

“How would you describe this in legal terms,” Zakharova asked? 

“Misappropriation? This is exactly what it is, the misappropriation of others’ money.”

“It is unlikely to improve the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan in any way.”

“Resolute measures to restore the Afghan economy that was destroyed by the US-NATO (war and) occupation are long overdue.”

The Death of Trust in US Institutions, and How to Restore It

Few can recall the turbulent 1950s from personal memory, particularly the loss of faith and trust in American institutions. Soviet agents (“Reds”) were everywhere: schools, agencies, the military, and even Congress. We the People were repeatedly warned: trust no one.

Those days sound eerily familiar. The nation’s great institutions — Congress, federal bureaucracies like the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the Judiciary, the FBI and DOJ (Department of Justice), the military, our schools at all levels, even the electoral process itself — have been corrupted. The fourth estate no longer exists, replaced by mainstream media that advocate rather than report facts.

In the 1950s, Washington used the Soviet threat as an excuse to illegally extend federal authority and create political tyranny. Today’s excuse is COVID, justifying medical tyranny. Tyranny is tyranny, regardless of the modifying adjective.

The Death of Trust

Progressive Democrats currently dominate the Executive and Legislative Branches as well as a myriad of federal agencies, collectively called the establishment or the “swamp.” Americans disdain members of both parties because the latter focus on expanding their power while ignoring our problems. The border crisis is proof.

Approval ratings for Congress have been 30 percent or lower for the past 30 years. Can you imagine any business staying open if more than 70 percent of its customers disapproved of the salespeople?

Americans thought their country has rule of law. Unequal application of laws is not rule of law. U.S. attorney general Merrick Garland ordered the DOJ to investigate parents as “domestic terrorists” when they strenuously voiced distrust of local school boards. The DOJ did not prosecute Hillary Clinton for violating security protocol while secretary of state and, worse, destroying the email evidence of her crimes. When Lady Justice takes off her blindfold, trust in the DOJ vanishes.

Faith in the FBI has also evaporated. For more than two years, the bureau continued a show trial against President Trump even though there was no real evidence. When then–vice president Joe Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid if Ukraine did not fire a prosecutor investigating his son, Hunter, both the FBI and the DOJ did nothing.

Among malfeasance of the FBI, unequal justice of the DOJ, and courts legislating from the bench, trust in the judicial system has died.

The CDC is reputedly committed to hard science, facts, and the truth, without regard to politics. Not so. Its commitment has become defending federal mandates rather than providing facts so each American can decide the best path to personal good health.

The CDC has manipulated and conflated data; assured pregnant women that mRNA gene therapy (called vaccination) is safe when it may not be; made simple, obvious reporting errors; and changed its tracking methods for no scientific reason. No wonder we have lost trust.

During the Vietnam era, the public disrespected the military. Over the subsequent fifty years, trust and respect were restored. Recently, that hard won trust has been shattered.

General Milley tried to usurp presidential nuclear authority. Overt racism — CRT (Critical Race Theory) — was introduced into a previously colorblind military curriculum. Some Navy SEALs were declared “undeployable” because they refused the mRNA vaccination mandate. These are some of the healthiest people on Earth, many with natural immunity from prior COVID infection. The final straw was the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. They left a large but unknown number of Americans and local allies in enemy (Taliban) hands, and they even gave the Taliban names and addresses of Americans remaining in Afghanistan.

A military that fails to protect our citizens, that gives billions of dollars of American military hardware to terrorists (Taliban), and that throws away prime resources (like SEALs) for purely political reasons is not worthy of trust.

Five days a week, our school systems hold the nation’s most precious possession: our children. Parents expect schools to teach their children how to think, not what to think. Parents lose trust in school boards when they indoctrinate children with CRT and reject standard English words like “boy,” “girl,” and “parent” in order to placate the LGBT lobby.

Daniel Henninger wrote in the Wall Street Journal that complicit media report Democrats’ “alternative realities” as truth though they are obvious lies. We see hundreds of thousands of individuals crossing our southern border, but Homeland Security secretary Mayorkas says “the border is closed.” President Biden proclaims that “the cost will be zero” for his multi-trillion-dollar social engineering bill disingenuously called infrastructure. A CNN video claims that protests were “mostly peaceful,” while in the background, buildings are ablaze. The stark contrast between what our senses and brains tell us and the alternate realities presented by the complicit media explains the death of trust.

During the opening episode of the HBO series Newsroom, Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) explains that the USA became a great nation because Americans were “well informed” by a press free to write or speak objectively without censorship or bias.

Media bias for Democrats is amply proven above. Censorship is harder to demonstrate. By definition, one cannot show a citation that has been removed. If Google does not display a web page or Amazon reports “item not found” even though it exists, that is censorship. Same is true when Twitter bans the 45^th president from tweeting to his 15.6 million followers. When studies that contradict Dr. Fauci’s so-called science are relegated to page 16 on Google, banned from Facebook as “misinformation,” or ignored by the CDC, that too is censorship.

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.” Because our citizenry is poorly informed or not informed at all, tyranny has returned to the USA. See mask mandates and vaccine passports.

Rebirth of Trust

“Never identify a problem without proposing a solution” is a time-honored management aphorism. Can we reverse the death of trust? Yes — with the Eight Rs.

Require evidence, always, from a personal conversation or one-on-one debate to a White House Press conference or presidential debate. Ignore those who don’t give you their proof, no matter how impressive the title or how many microphones they stand behind.

Resurrect the fourth estate. The public needs a reliable source of unadjusted facts, someone to question everything said or done by politicians and bureaucrats, without regard for party affiliation or expressed ideology.

Recall elected persons who forget they are public servants. We have the power of the ballot box. Use it! Don’t blindly follow a party or platform. Vote for a person you trust and “un-elect” (recall) those who say the right things on the campaign trail but don’t do the right things when in office.

Resist tyranny. President Biden issued an executive order on Sept. 9, 2021, that mandated that all federal employees, including military and even federal contractors, receive the “jab” (mRNA gene therapy against COVID-19). This action is federal overreach.

The U.S. Founding fathers bequeathed us many ways to resist government tyranny. We must use them! For instance, a class action lawsuit was just filed to stop Biden’s illegal, unconstitutional executive order. The district judge’s decision is pending.

Redirect your dollar. In addition to power of the vote, Americans have power of the dollar: where they spend their money. Support those businesses and activities you trust and that trust you to decide. Withhold your dollars from businesses that dictate to you or that support government tyranny.

Replace indoctrination with education. When Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia governor running for re-election, claimed there is “no role for parents in school curriculum,” he was totally out of sync with American ethos and tradition. American parents, not the government, are responsible for and in charge of what their children are taught.

Use the Remote! Just like the dollar, Americans have control over what they see or hear. If you find a radio or TV show or internet venue that spins the facts or lies, change the channel. Deny them (and their advertisers) your time and attention.

If Americans apply the seven Rs above, they can achieve the eighth: Rebirth of trust in government and other great institutions.

Have you ever wondered what makes a person snap? What causes a normal, quiet, everyday citizen, loving mother, or doting father to lose it all and fight like a caged animal? What can cause a small village to rise up and rebel against an oppressive police force and start killing them? What is the switch that gets flipped that causes a city to pour two million people into the streets, chanting and demanding to be heard by their government?

Lately it feels more and more as though we are on standing on the edge of some yawning precipice peering over the crest into darkness. What is more troubling to me is that we have been down this path before. The sense of unease is almost palpable to me sometimes; it is more evident if you are paying attention. If you are able to eliminate the white noise of the world for a minute; hit the pause button on the playlist of daily life for a while and look around, listen, you may start to recognize that you too are caught up in events that will soon change all our lives.

For several years I have felt an unsettling sense that we need to be prepared, that life is going to throw us a big, fat, greasy curve ball soon and we better not be caught napping. To try and proactively address that warning voice I started planning and taking steps to prepare my family to be able to weather events in the future. I am certainly not alone in this concern as you can easily see by the tremendous growth of the prepper movement. In the spectrum of probable events, there are a lot of potential scenarios. Natural disasters and emergencies occur every day all over the world, but you have to broaden your gaze and look to current events and history as well. One of the things that I think is a valid potential event to consider is a collapse of our way of life which leads to an authoritarian oppressive government.

Are we reaching a tipping point?

We have seen in recent events, by now almost too numerous to mention, the effects of a rising frustration with the way things are. It isn’t necessary to go into all of the individual reasons, but as a society there are more and more outpourings of frustration on a global scale. There are increasingly tightening restrictions against people. There is a manipulation of markets and the economy. There is a great increase in the loss of freedom and there is a more open antagonism and almost outright animosity by Government towards their people.

Governments exist either because they have come to power through force and violence or they have been elected and given power by the people. The force and violence crowd usually have their roots in the military and we like to call them Dictators. There have been a ton of them throughout history; Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong iL and now his son, Saddam, Gaddafi, the list goes on and on. Dictators don’t care about the people and usually kill anyone who gets in their way. It is a fact that government has killed more people than any other cause, disease or reason.

The other side of the coin is what is usually called Democracies. I am lumping a lot of governments in here I know, but the democracies are usually elected and formed with the consent of the people with the noble goal of securing rights or protecting the people over whom they govern. Almost without fail however, Democratic Governments eventually do not want to answer to the people and at some point they most certainly will not be told what to do by the people to the point of ignoring the will of the people (for the people’s own good of course). Now these governments that are supposed to secure the liberties of their people are becoming more openly hostile to the same people they have sworn to defend. Funnily enough the democratically elected governments now seem to want to hang on to power with the same methods of force and violence as dictators. How else can you explain arming themselves with ammo, ignoring the constitution, purchasing assault vehicles and preparing to confiscate firearms?

When governments will steal money outright from the citizens in order to pay bills that were not incurred by the people we have a problem. When government spies on its people and uses that information against them punitively we have a problem. When Government uses the force of the military that was supposed to defend the people that was paid for by the people, for the purposes of killing the people, we have a big problem. When someone brings to light crimes by the government and is labeled as the one who is a danger, we have a problem.

The problem is that governments around the world are viewing their people as the problem and there really seems to be only one way throughout history that this is ever rectified. My fear is that we are already set on a course that won’t be changed with laws, great political leaders, or a return to the values of a golden age in time long past.

The Fine Line – The Straw that breaks the camel’s back

The fine line between someone who is a law-abiding citizen and a murderer is one that exists purely in our souls. There is nothing physical that is different from a person who follows the rules and someone who breaks them. The urge to pull the trigger isn’t something you can see and it isn’t a trait to test for, so it must be our own individual sense of right and wrong. Of good and evil.

I know that some will argue that a psychopath is definitely recognizable by character traits and maybe even brainwaves or chemistry. That may be true, but you can be a psychopath (clinically) without ever hurting anyone. By the same token, you can take a life while being perfectly “sane”.

If you hold a knife in your hand, you are just as capable of using that to stab or cut someone as the murderer in the next town, but that thought never enters the mind of an overwhelming majority of people. A baseball bat in your hands can easily be swung with great force connecting it to the back of a skull, but this thought never appears in our heads; that is unless we are forced into a corner. When a person is in desperate fear for their lives, the unspoken rules of right and wrong are broken. The processes that we follow every day are overridden in the cause of rage or self-preservation. What was unthinkable before is now very real, necessary and even righteous with the right circumstances.

When the right buttons are pushed, anyone can lose it. When the fear of dying or of losing someone you love is so overpowering, the “fine line” that has been keeping us sane, law-abiding and good is easily shattered. When this happens, all bets are off.

We as a people, a country are still rather firmly attached on the good side of this line. We have not yet completely been driven to abandon all hope and lash out. We have not yet been so harmed, have not gotten to the point that we have nothing to lose and are ready to lose it, but this may be coming in the future.

The force and violence that is being used now to quell the dissatisfaction of people globally is increasing. The methods to cease the complaining of the rabble has been relatively minor with some exceptions. Tear gas, rubber bullets, mace and batons only work up to a point though. When the time comes that people can no longer abide, there won’t be enough police to stop them using riot control techniques. The military doesn’t have enough people to stop the entire population unless those people peacefully agree to surrender, so what will they do? Do you believe any government will quietly step down and admit that they are obviously not speaking for the people anymore? No. They will resort to more force and violence and people will die. Either that or you have a coup like they had in Egypt and guess who took over to “restore order”? Yep, the Military.

What will be the inevitable response by the authorities?

The Chinese people who started to revolt against the police in their town did so because the authorities were “placing restrictions on their culture, language and religion”. China is no picnic compared to America and we clearly know they have lived through far worse oppression than we have, but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back for them?

The protests which turned into an estimated two million citizens of Brazil had started simply enough with a protest over a rise in the rates of public transportation.

In America, what will be the trigger that causes people to rise up and say we aren’t going to take this anymore and more importantly what will happen when/if we do?

What will happen if we don’t change the path we are on?

There is a quote that has always struck me as very sad and telling from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his book The Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn was a Russian who was sentenced to 8 years in a Soviet prison camp for essentially writing things about Stalin that the government didn’t like. During this time in Soviet Russia, to stifle dissent, millions were killed or sent to prison camps. In this passage Solzhenitsyn is talking about regret that everyone felt because they simply went along with this tyranny and didn’t oppose it.

 “AND HOW WE BURNED IN THE CAMPS LATER, THINKING: WHAT WOULD THINGS HAVE BEEN LIKE IF EVERY SECURITY OPERATIVE, WHEN HE WENT OUT AT NIGHT TO MAKE AN ARREST, HAD BEEN UNCERTAIN WHETHER HE WOULD RETURN ALIVE AND HAD TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO HIS FAMILY? OR IF, DURING PERIODS OF MASS ARRESTS, AS FOR EXAMPLE IN LENINGRAD, WHEN THEY ARRESTED A QUARTER OF THE ENTIRE CITY, PEOPLE HAD NOT SIMPLY SAT THERE IN THEIR LAIRS, PALING WITH TERROR AT EVERY BANG OF THE DOWNSTAIRS DOOR AND AT EVERY STEP ON THE STAIRCASE, BUT HAD UNDERSTOOD THEY HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AND HAD BOLDLY SET UP IN THE DOWNSTAIRS HALL AN AMBUSH OF HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE WITH AXES, HAMMERS, POKERS, OR WHATEVER ELSE WAS AT HAND?… THE ORGANS WOULD VERY QUICKLY HAVE SUFFERED A SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS AND TRANSPORT AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ALL OF STALIN’S THIRST, THE CURSED MACHINE WOULD HAVE GROUND TO A HALT! IF…IF…WE DIDN’T LOVE FREEDOM ENOUGH. AND EVEN MORE – WE HAD NO AWARENESS OF THE REAL SITUATION…. WE PURELY AND SIMPLY DESERVED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AFTERWARD.”  – ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN

Will this be our fate too? Will we slowly be conditioned to accept atrocities like this and to be completely defanged so that we can be herded into camps without so much as a whimper as well? That’s crazy you say! Is it? Right now, our government is hunting down someone who simply exposed how they (government) were illegally spying on all of us. Our government is buying arms and stockpiling weapons for use domestically not in some war. Our government has the IRS actively harassing a single political/opposition party. Our government has shown that they will lock down a town and go door to door while making the citizens stay cowered inside. Our government has stated that they can imprison anyone without cause for an indefinite amount of time.

Can you seriously argue that we aren’t headed down the same path as others have in our not too distant past?

This is not a call to armed Revolution, but I do think we should all be very wary of this course we are on and the echos of history. We should not be silent in the face of increasing oppression. We should not simply go along quietly because of the fear that we may get in trouble, or worse that we believe the government is only looking out for our best interests. You only need to look at the people in Poland who quietly went into the Warsaw ghettos. You don’t have to look any further than the Holocaust to see what quietly going along will get you.

This is not a fate that I will be bringing on my family.

The other day, an acquaintance mentioned to me why the rule of law often takes away our freedoms more often than it guarantees us with a free and safe society. And, whereas, we all enjoy standardization and the rule of law, as it provides stability to all we are and all we’ve built, it would be naïve to put more faith in it than it deserves. One must always be skeptical of the rule of law, or those who are making the laws, and their true motives.

You see, I too have mixed emotions about the rule of law. In the US for instance most of our laws, rules, and regulations have specific, and significant agendas, individuals, business interests, and power players behind their creation. Each one breeds new laws, case law, more lawyers, additional tightening, new loop holes, and complications. Today, it is an utter mess. In this on-going and never ending process freedoms can often get crushed along the way.

Further, the laws have become such that we are protecting people from themselves, even the most ignorant, and thus, eventually only an ignorant person is going to want to live in this great nation and society, as that greatness blurs into bureaucracy and stifled freedom. So, there needs to be some bureaucracy reduction in a ‘big way’ and perhaps, we need to be thinking here more often as we move the ball forward, expand our civilization and society.

Okay so, the reason I say I have mixed emotions about the rule of law is because this is a wonderful and awesome nation to live in, and anarchy, at least complete anarchy is not any good either on the other side of that spectrum. Not that it’s an either or proposition of course, just an observation from my opinion. Indeed, I am convinced that any free thinking man has thoughts on this as well. I’ve been observing some of the things our society does which defies logic and common sense, all in the name of the Law!

If the system is corrupted, and if regulations are made to allow one business to promote itself over a competitor, and if laws are made to help one class of people over another, then in actuality we don’t have fairness. If the rule of law isn’t fair, why do we have it? If the system has corrupted itself, and it can no longer be trusted, then is following all of the laws the responsible and ethical thing to do? By following such laws you are agreeing to them, then you are agreeing to live in a corrupt system, and thus you are rewarding corruption.

A society and civilization always gets more of whatever rewards. And there lies the conundrum of the rule of law. Philosophically speaking our laws could be extremely simplified from this point, as they are far too complex. We perhaps should be using a larger degree of common sense. Politically correct laws serve no free man, nor do laws created to manipulate a system into further decay. Indeed I hope you will please consider this from a philosophical perspective.

FYI and in full disclosure; I am not an anarchist, do not subscribe to any religion, have no use for criminality, and I believe in real justice. Please take this article as a philosophical discussion.

Looking around I couldn’t find an important piece of information – how one should fight in a SHTF situation. I think this is an important topic to cover because it has several special circumstances that need to be considered.

1. Ammo will need to be conserved – I don’t care how many rounds you have saved up, it won’t be enough and the long-term of a complete collapse of society (potentially 40+ years) means that from the get go every single shot will be precious.
2. Due to the fact that it is almost a certainty that combatants will be intensely familiar with the area and possibly have been residing for a long period of time it rather changes the mechanics of combat.
3. Due to limited manpower and the fact that any attrition will be felt heavily, patrols, night combat, and outposts will be nigh impossible to field with regularity.
4. Expanding on the above, most medication has a limited shelf life and even minor wounds will start to become quite threatening (increased risk of disease and infection) – Medication will run out fast.

With that in mind, let us analyse why tactical considerations are always important and what style of fighting we will have to adopt. Due to the fact that ammo will always be a luxury, modern tactics which rely on the idea of expending more ammo in a gunfight at the foe over men or positioning is obviously not possible.

Now – every weapon you should use should focus on stopping power, the smallest cartridge in your arsenal should be 6.5mm (handguns excluded).

With that out-of-the-way – let us look at the overall thought process and things to identify before you engage in any situation.

1. Manpower: Who has more bodies at their disposal – do they look weak and ill-trained or are their movements/positions well thought out and the men (and women!) well fed? Are they all moving armed or do they have the luxury of people dedicated to guard duties?
2. Armament: What weapons are they using – are they rusted and in ill repair? Can you identify if they are carrying enough ammo for everyone to fight adequately?
3. Maneuver: Who is in the better position? – do they have a path of pursuit and escape, do they have a height advantage? Importantly are they defending something valuable (like a base or stash)? If so you may have the luxury of being able to attack at will, the same thing goes if you are on the defensive.

From these 3 guidelines a threat level can be deduced, obviously there will be some situation where one advantage is so great that it will offset disadvantages – this is a rough guideline. If they check off none, then you are probably in a position to utilize a diplomatic approach and join groups. If they check off one of 3 then you should approach with caution, maybe attempt to surround them at night and make your intentions clear – again diplomacy may be the best decision here. If they check two of three than combat should be avoided until you are in a position to use your advantage to overwhelm them (attacking at night, in an ambush, etc). Do not attempt diplomacy at this threat level as you will not be in a position to make a fair deal and all emphasis should be placed on evening the odds or avoiding the threat. Finally if they check off all three do not engage at all, the goal is survival not heroic death and if worst comes to worst retreating completely or surrendering goods is preferable to a bullet in the brain. They still are people and unless you are absolutely sure that they are completely hostile they may be willing to work with you.

Now with the overall threat assessment done we may now talk about the five stages of combat (Recce, Skirmish, Combat, Push/Withdraw, Decisive Blow/Total Withdrawal).

RECCE

“IF YOU KNOW THE ENEMY AND KNOW YOURSELF, YOU NEED NOT FEAR THE RESULT OF A HUNDRED BATTLES.” – SUN TZU

Recce is often the most overlooked stage of combat but it is BY FAR the most important. Recce is the mode of thought that you should be on at all times, dispatching a scout if possible and identifying incoming threats. The more focus you place on recce the more forewarning you will have as to inbound threats, and more time to prepare/evacuate. Obviously you will be unable to have a complete recon net due to limited supplies but any extra hands should be trained for recce and dispatched when possible.

This is where you will identify your enemies capabilities on your threat checklist and decide whether to choose engagement/diplomacy/retreat. Just to outline how vital this is, 90% of a good tactician’s skill is how the deploy and utilize information from recce, with the other 10% being a good leader with good interpersonal skills and the ability to keep cool under pressure.

SKIRMISH

This is where you action your initial decision on engaging the enemy, it is the period where hostilities have begun but you are not locked into a fight. This will be the period where you harry the enemy with traps and marksman to attempt to pick off men before you attack or they reach your designated point of defense (usually your fortifications).

Some skirmishes may only last a minute or two and some may be the entire fight, note that your main focus should be leaders and sensitive targets (heavily armed fighters and if possible, medics). The goal of this will be to break your enemies organisation and morale when combat begins – that being said…

COMBAT

This will be the time when individual training counts. Communication will be close to impossible in this brief period and this is where the most casualties will be sustained – though despite this being the most calamitous point of a fight it will be the least important for you as the person in command. Your main role will be encouraging your men and stopping any obvious screw-ups.

What you should be watching closely is the movement of combat, are you making good progress towards your goal or are you sustaining casualties – are there hostile elements that you were unaware of?

Before I make my next point the thing to keep in mind is that in a ‘battle’ there may be multiple combats, intensive fighting between periods of skirmish, pushing, and retreat.

PUSH/WITHDRAW

This is as much a phase of combat as it is its own separate action, and the commands will have to be executed well and especially in the case of a withdrawal you need pre-planned points to ensure cohesiveness.

Really the most that can be said of pushing is that your enemy has begun to break or have thinned enough that they can no longer maintain the area their position demands, as I would expect almost all combatants to be ill-trained this will almost certainly result in a decisive victory as the enemy breaks completely.

However, keeping your men together in the case of a withdrawal is another issue. The things to watch out for: can you retreat to your designated point safely (if you have one – keep in mind most defense should take a multi layered approach), do you have enough manpower left to pursue another attack, is the enemy willing to pursue or are they holding position. If it is the latter the combat may switch to a skirmishing stance again.

TOTAL WITHDRAWAL/ DECISIVE BLOW

Decisive blow: Your enemy has completely shattered, this is the period encompassing cleaning up resistance before taking stock of supplies and beginning the process of recce again – re-assessing.

Total Withdrawal: This comes about one of two ways – Your force has broken and are fleeing in a blind panic, or it is (hopefully) an organised retreat to put some distance between yourselves and the enemy combatants and re-asses. You will again need to survey the situation and determine the next point of action for your group.

Something to note – Overall your group should always be prepared for a total retreat, even an easy fight could be a ruse and you always need to be prepared to move and maintain as many supplies as possible.

These days, it has become all too common for people to reach for a pill bottle or call the doctor anytime something goes wrong, or even for the smallest scrape. The simple, wacky home remedies of our grandparents, those weird concoctions formed from everyday household goods, are often mocked by today’s medical establishment. But surprisingly, the truth is that our grandparents actually knew a lot more about the world than we give them credit for, and many of these old-fashioned folk remedies actually work. Not just that, but many of them work better than the synthetic pharmaceuticals that so many people stuff their bodies with today.

Here are 40 weird, wacky, but shockingly effective home remedies that still work today, and would make grandma proud.

1. Use Garlic and Olive Oil for Athlete’s Foot

Everyone knows about the many health benefits of garlic, but did you know that it can fix your athlete’s foot problem in a jiffy? Just mince some garlic cloves, mix them with natural olive oil, and then use bit of cotton to rub this mixture onto the affected area between the toes.

2. Potato Slices for Headaches

Headaches and/or migraines can ruin even the best day, but there is a weird natural solution that works: potato slices. Just cut a few slices from a raw potato, soak them in a very thin cloth, and apply them to your forehead or directly to the temples.

3. Ease Cuticle Infections with Vinegar

Done too much manicuring? Cuticles all torn up and infected? Make a glass of vinegar and warm water, then put your fingers in it for about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure once a day or so until the infection fades away.

4. Use Vinegar to Cure Swimmer’s Ear

There’s nothing that ruins a good day at the beach like coming home with swimmer’s ear. But when your grandparents told you to drop some vinegar in your ears, they weren’t kidding. The acidic properties of vinegar can kill off that awful swimmer’s ear bacteria, leaving you feeling like yourself again. Just take out some white vinegar, dilute it with distilled water, and put three drops into the problematic ear, three times a day, until the problem fades.

5. Olive Oil for Eczema

Feeling itchy already? Eczema can make anyone grow crazy. But olive oil, which is full of antioxidants and often used as an ingredient in professional skin creams, isn’t just good for athlete’s foot: it can ease the symptoms of eczema as well. Simply rub some olive oil onto the eczema-affected areas of your skin, and it should help quite a bit. Moreover, olive oil is named in the Bible as a cure-all remedy.

6. Fix Hiccups with a Spoonful of Sugar

Yes, seriously. The legends are true. Don’t get too overzealous with it, because diabetes isn’t something to mess around with, but this old-fashioned trick will halt the hiccups in their tracks. The reason why is because the behavior we call “hiccups” are actually just spasms of your diaphragm, so having a spoon of dry sugar will throw off the nerve muscles and cure their agitation.

7. Get rid of warts with duct tape

It sounds crazy, but it works. Instead of going to all the work to get your warts frozen off, just covered them with duct tape. After cleaning a wart off, just apply a strip of the tape to the affected area, and then keep it there for three days. After that, remove, rub the wart area with a pumice stone, and then apply new tape.  Continue this process every three days until the wart goes the way of the dinosaurs. Here are 26 practical survival uses for duct tape. 

8. Treat Acne with Coconut Oil

Coconut oil might seem like the cool new kid on the block, but it’s actually an old-timer that’s been around since the 1800s. In addition to many other uses, coconut oil is an effective treatment for acne, since its antibiotic properties prevent further breakouts. Just apply coconut oil to the skin, maybe mixing it with a little raw honey.

9. Have a Little Yogurt for That Bad Breath

Bad breath, officially known as halitosis, is a terrible thing to live with. But the cure for it is right there in your fridge: yogurt. At least two servings a day of this probiotic wonder, ideally a plain brand with no sugar, changes the landscape of your tongue so that it won’t breed any more the bad bacteria that produces that distinctive stink.

10. Deal with bug bites by using toothpaste

Well, not technically the toothpaste itself, but rather, the peppermint oil inside the toothpaste: if you have the pure peppermint oil itself, that’s even more effective. Either way, applying peppermint oil to a bug bite—even if it’s just through dabbing on a little toothpaste – will immediately reduce the raw itchiness we all know too well.

11. Use Licorice to Eliminate Corns

Yes, licorice, everyone’s least favorite candy. But the one thing worse than licorice is having a corn on your toe. If you soak some licorice with oil, apply it all to the affected area, then wrap it tight under plastic wrap (and maybe a sock) for 6-8 hours—for instance, overnight—this will cause the licorice to soften the corn.

12. Ease Your Hangover with Apple Cider Vinegar

Drinking might be fun, but hangovers aren’t fun for anyone. But when you used to see grandpa downing a shot of apple cider vinegar after a night with his buddies, he knew what he was doing. Apple cider vinegar balances the pH levels in your stomach after a little too much alcohol throws it off. Just gulp down a teaspoon of this vinegar, or a small shot-glass. If you can’t take it straight, dilute it with some water. Here’s how you can make raw apple cider vinegar at home.

13. Constipation with beets

The human body needs to eliminate waste, and when it gets all bunched up, major discomfort ensues. One home solution you may have heard from your grandparents was to eat some fresh-steamed beets, then drink the water they were steamed in. This should clear out your colon like magic. Just be warned that when you do go, your stools or urine may be bright red: nothing to worry about, just the natural dye of the beets.

14. Vodka for stinky feet

Having trouble with foot odor? Get some vodka. No, we’re not suggesting that you get drunk and avoid the problem. The key is that alcoholic is an antiseptic, which means it eliminates the fungus that causes foot odor, and dries your feet out. Just soak a thin cloth in some vodka, swipe your foot down, and feel the smell go away.

15. Mix Cumin, Honey, Cinnamon and Ginger for Diarrhea

A bad case of the runs can keep you up all night. Instead of taking drugs that will simply constipate you, thereby causing more stomach pains, a better natural remedy is to combine a teaspoon of cumin, and the same portion of honey, cinnamon, and ginger into a paste that you can drink.

16. Lemons for an Earache

Pain in the ears can be soothed by the application of freshly-squeezed lemons. Just squeeze a lemon onto a Q-tip, and delicately rub this just inside the ear to restore pH balance.

17. Stinging Nettle for Hair Loss

You can’t force hair to regrow once it’s already gone, but you can slow down the rate of hair loss through the use of stinging nettle, an herb often used for tea. Drinking stinging nettle tea a few times a day should help, and you can also massage stinging nettle itself in your scalp.

18. Cure Nausea with Olives

Whether it’s from motion sickness or an unpleasant sight, the familiar (but unpleasant) side effects associated with nausea can be cured by eating olives, due to the tannin inside them.

19. Potatoes for Spider Bites

If a spider managed to sink its teeth into you, ease the itching and swelling by shredding a potato, wrapping the pieces in cloth, and applying to the bite area. Note, this is a treatment for symptoms of a regular, non-deadly bite: if the bite comes from a more deadly spider, such as a black widow, seek immediate medical attention.

20. Raw Honey for Chapped Lips

Don’t ever waste your money on Chapstick again. Much has been said about the healing properties of raw, organic honey, but if your lips are chapped, you can simply apply honey to the affected area—rub it on, just as you would Chapstick—and it will do the job nicely, and taste better to boot. Just make sure the honey is both raw and organic.

21. Garlic for Allergies

For a more natural antihistamine when your nasal allergies act up, eat lots of garlic, whether it’s straight bulbs or slices on crackers. Garlic contains a lot of the antioxidant quercetin, which eases allergy symptoms. If there’s no garlic in the pantry, onions work as well.

22. Buttermilk and Ginger for Diarrhea

If you don’t have cumin on hand, another weird-but-effective home remedy for diarrhea is to mix half of a teaspoon of dry ginger into a cup of buttermilk, and drink it.

23. Treat Styes with Potatoes

If you haven’t noticed, potatoes are a lot more powerful than people realize. If you get a stye on your eye, just grate a potato, wrap the gratings in a cloth, and press to the affected area to ease inflammation.

24. Avoid Mosquitoes with Garlic

If you don’t want to get eaten alive with mosquitoes, enjoy a garlic-rich diet, because mosquitoes are totally repelled by garlic. For further protection, rub garlic oil on your skin. If it’s already too late, you can also ease the stinging of the bites with garlic as well.

25. Yams for Menopause

To up your dosage of vitamin A, lower your cholesterol, and add more antioxidants to your diet, start incorporating yams—real yams, not sweet potatoes—into your regular daily diet. This will help with common menopause symptoms.

26. Apples Help the Bowels

Apples are high in pectin, a naturally occurring fiber that both bulks up and softens stools. This means that apples are an effective treatment for both diarrhea and constipation. Just make sure to eat the skin too, which contains valuable ursolic acid.

27. Banana Peel for Poison Ivy

While bananas won’t prevent you from getting the allergic rash that 85% of the population contracts from touching poison ivy, they can help. Rub the inside of a banana peel against poison ivy rash for relief from the pain and itchiness.

28. Honey for Acid Reflux

As soon as the symptoms of acid reflux begin affecting you, swallow three spoons of honey, and it should help you achieve better digestion.

29. Blackstrap molasses for Constipation

If you suffer from frequent constipation, try injecting a little blackstrap molasses into your diet, whether as a coffee additive or an extra ingredient in cookies. This molasses should ease constipation, but be careful not to over-indulge, because too much molasses will increase constipation.

30. Pine Syrup for Sore Throats

You know what helps a sore throat? Pine needles. Yes, really. To make pine syrup, collect a cup of freshly-washed pine needles, and thoroughly blend them. Meanwhile, boil water, corn syrup, and a bit of salt, mix this with the needles, then steep for a few hours. Keep this syrup in the refrigerator for at least a month, then keep it on hand forever to treat sore throats.

31. DIY Cough Syrup

If you want to make a good cough syrup from the ingredients of your pantry, mix together ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a few spoons of water. Mix it all together, and have 1-3 teaspoons to ease coughing symptoms.

32. Garlic for toothache

Nothing will keep you up at night like a bad cavity or an exposed nerve. While garlic won’t cure the underlying issue, chewing on garlic at night, particularly chewing whole cloves in the affected area, will ease pain tremendously.

33. Put on Wet Socks to Treat a Cold

Hear us out for a minute. To treat the symptoms of a common cold, begin by soaking your feet in hot water for at least three minutes – or just taking a bath. Meanwhile, soak a pair of your socks in ice water. Put the socks on your feet, cover them up with a pair of wool socks, and then go to bed. As you sleep with these horribly cold feet, the blood vessels will constrict, pushing nutrients up into your body to push out the infection.

34. Fix Dry Skin

To soften dry skin, break down two bananas and mix them with a bit of honey. Apply this paste to the skin, let it sit for about 20 minutes, and then wash it off, and your skin should feel softer.

35. Teabags for Burns

Get a cool-temperature, wet teabag, of any tea, and place it directly on the burned area. This won’t fix the burn, but it will relieve the pain almost immediately.

36. Oil Pulling

This might have become a trend recently, but it’s actually an old practice that our grandparents learned from their grandparents. Basically, enhance your dental routine by taking a spoonful of coconut oil – though other oils work as well – and swishing it in your mouth for five minutes a day, specifically pulling it through the teeth, and then spit it out into the toilet. The oil will “pull” all of the toxins out of the mouth, allowing you to spit them out in one go. When used in addition to standard brushing and flossing, oil pulling will help digestion, reduce gingivitis, prevent receding gums, get rid of bad breath, strengthen teeth, and much, much more.

37. Help Eczema with an Oatmeal Bath

If the horrendous itchiness of eczema still has you down, you can hugely reduce the itchiness by following your grandmother’s old advice taking a bath of oatmeal. There’s a reason that so many lotions and pharmaceutical eczema treatments contain oatmeal as an ingredient: it really works! For a home solution, just make a bath for yourself, fill it with colloidal oatmeal, and then soak for a while.

38. Stop Your Snoring

40. Soak Golden Raisins in Gin for Arthritis

If there’s one thing that afflicted so many of our grandparents, it was the terrible swelling pains of arthritis. But they had a home remedy that still works today. Get some golden raisins, soak them in gin, and let it sit overnight until all of the gin has been soaked up. After this is done, eat about ten raisins a day. While this won’t fix the underlying problems of arthritis, it will greatly ease the symptoms. Here are more old fashioned arthritis remedies your ancestors used.

US-installed NATO puppet, Stolenberg, earlier called for a “long haul…war of attrition” against Russia in support of Nazi-infested Ukraine.

Ignoring how effectively Russia is slaying the made-in-the USA monster, he trampled on truth about what he falsely called “the will and ability of (Ukrainian Nazis) to defend themselves (sic).”

As directed by his US master, Stoltenberg backs the unattainable notion of expelling Russian forces from areas they liberated from Nazi occupation.

Citing no credible evidence because none exists, he falsely accused Vladimir Putin pursuing revanchist aims in Ukraine (sic).

On Monday, Stoltenberg admitted that Ukrainian Nazis are burning through more weapons, munitions and equipment than US/Western regimes can supply them with, stressing:

The burn rate “is many times higher than (NATO’s) rate of production, and this puts our (war-making) industries under strain.”

Able to produce whatever and as much of what it needs to combat the scourge of US/Western support for Nazism in Ukraine, Russia is under no comparable restraint.

Long drawn out conflict serves its interests by letting US/NATO regimes exhaust their ability to supply Ukrainian Nazis with arms and equipment.

At that time, the US-installed regime and its greatly degraded military will collapse.

Reading lines scripted for him by his US master to recite on Monday, Stoltenberg defied reality, saying the following:

“President Putin is not preparing for peace (sic).”

“He is launching new offensives (sic).”

“So we must continue to provide Ukrain(ian Nazis) with what (they need) to win (sic).”

“And to achieve a just and sustainable peace (sic)” — a notion hegemon USA and its Western vassals reject.

Ukraine’s war minister, Reznikov, “will join us tomorrow.”

“(W)e will address (the regime’s) urgent needs.”

“(W)e are in a race of logistics.”

“Key capabilities like ammunition, fuel, and spare parts must reach Ukraine before Russia can seize the initiative on the battlefield” — an objective it achieved on day-one of its liberating SMO.

“If Putin wins in Ukraine,” an indisputable reality virtually achieved, the US-installed regime will be demilitarized and deNazified.

What Stoltenberg falsely claimed “would make the world more dangerous and all of us more vulnerable” is worlds apart different from what Russia is accomplishing.

He “welcome(d) announcements” by hegemon USA and its NATO vassals on supplying Ukrainian Nazis with more heavy weapons, what Russia will target and destroy.

US-dominated “NATO stands with (the scourge of) Ukraine for as long as it takes,” he hyperventilated, while ignoring Russia’s ability to achieve its publicly stated objectives of demilitarizing and deNazifying the regime.

Calling for US/NATO to increase production of weapons and munitions for regime troops gave scant attention to many months of lag time before this can be accomplished.

Nor did Stoltenberg admit what’s indisputable.

Nazi-infested Ukraine was defeated on day-one of Russia’s liberating SMO.

No matter how much more in the way of weapons and munitions are supplied to the Nazi-infested regime, it won’t transform defeat into triumph at a time when its greatly degraded military is near collapse.

Separately on Monday, the Biden regime issued the following advisory on Russia, telling US citizens the following:

“Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked (sic) full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment (sic) and singling out of US citizens for detention by Russian government security officials (sic), the arbitrary enforcement of local law (sic), limited flights into and out of Russia (sic), the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism (sic).” 

“US citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart immediately (sic).”

“Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions (sic).”

The above so-called advisory came at the same time that France and Canada urged their nationals to leave Belarus “without delay.”

Are the empire of lies and its Western vassals planning hostile actions in Russia and Belarus?

Is what’s going on related to recruiting of jihadists by the Biden regime to carry out terrorist attacks on targets and individuals in Russia?

Clearly it’s a sign of desperation by hegemon USA over Russia’s ability to effectively slay the Nazi-infested Ukraine monster it created.

Will preemptive use of nukes against Russia by the Biden regime be the next shoe to drop?

Will lunatics running the Washington asylum go this far?

Don’t bet against it.

Nothing can be ruled out out by nations that invent reasons to preemptively attack others in pursuit of their diabolical aims.

The threat of hegemon USA’s escalation of conflict against Russia to nuclear war is ominously real.

A Final Comment

Ignoring indisputable facts on the ground, Stoltenberg trampled on truth, saying the following on Tuesday:

Hegemon USA and its NATO vassals are not “party to conflict” in Ukraine (sic).

“What we do as NATO allies and NATO is to provide support to Ukraine (sic).”

The US-installed regime “is defending itself (sic).”

“Ukraine has the right to defend itself (sic).”

“(W)e have the right to help Ukraine uphold the right for self-defense (sic).”

“So NATO and NATO allies are not party to the conflict, but we support Ukraine in the right of self-defense (sic).”

There’s nothing remotely defensive about 9 years of aggression by Ukraine against Donbass — nor much of the same against Russia for the past year.

Indeed, war “started in 2014” — by Ukrainian Nazis cross-border as orchestrated and directed by their US master.

What their ruling regimes began preemptively, Russia is effectively countering.

And there’s nothing that US/Western regimes can do to prevent Russia from achieving its demilitarization and deNazification of the US-created monster.
