Many years ago I had a domain site called “Something Happening Here” using BlueHost and developed at least 50 followers or subscribers, but I had to remove it since what with domain-host fees I had greater expenses to be concerned with. And then I found a part-time job as a POA office manager. So I set up this blog, first on Blogger (owned by Google, right?) then here…and I have considered Substack if WordPress decides I’m not politically correct or “woke” enough. (I will NEVER turn “woke”! I was “woke” enough in the early 70s…)
Frugal. That was how I had to deal with financial resources. Buy only what you need. And that same meme holds true today, folks, in these days of supposedly runaway inflation. Which is one reason I only drive the vehicle when I absolutely have to–the price of gasoline (and this is in Texas! In Commiefornia, it’s likely double or even triple what it is here!).
Which reminds me of when I moved from Long Island to Houston in 1975–the price of gas in those days of “the oil embargo” and cars lined up for miles in the area was about a dollar fifty or more a gallon. In Houston, the price was about half!
I honestly think one reason for all those covid “stimulus checks” was to provide an opportunity for folks to waste that money on stuff they didn’t need but made them look better…bling, nail salons, and other useless stuff. And how did I spend my stimulus? I needed a new laptop (since my old one was about 8 years old and it took 10 minutes to boot up, plus Windows 7 was EoL if you know what I mean), so I spent the stimulus on a new laptop (having seen vids on how to shut off Cortana and other Windows 10 crapola I don’t need). Why? Because I needed a new laptop, that’s why!
Another reason, besides price inflation and empty food shelves and expensive gasoline, to do whatever one can to get out of the narrative or system–what if you are unvaxxed and creepy Joe and CMS decide to end Social Security payments and Medicare to the unvaxxed, never mind that these folks have paid into the system most of their lives? And never mind that illegals will benefit from this since illegals don’t have to get vaxxed and will be given money and jobs and citizenship, etc. Do you have enough stashed away (and I don’t mean in banks! What if the FED decides to steal or “bail in” all bank accounts, including credit unions and also including the bank the military folks use, USAA? (Would stealing USAA accounts cause military folks to ‘do something about it’ if you know what I mean?)) And by stashed away I mean an asset that would do well in inflatioanry times–gold and silver. Do you have any gold and/or silver?
And how stocked is your food pantry? I’d say regardless of which “food supply” online outfit you use (and I don’t mean Amazon’s Whole Foods either!), can you have enough food to survive a year? Not a few weeks or a few months, but a year? For you and for family as well as nearby loved ones who might need some help?
Have gasoline stored in containers? At least enough for one complete gas tank fill.
Have clean water? Hmmmmm…. If not, hopefully you have enough cooking gas or electric to boil it!
You get the idea. But now comes this–can you stop being reliant on government? Like I said, one must prepare (vaxxed or not) for the possibility that one will lose Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid benefits. What if your local govt. raises property taxes through the roof? Would you have to sell or give up your property or house because of property tax increases? (Because you cannot get allodial title anymore, even in Texas, where HOAs and POAs tend to rule the roost: PROPERTY is taxable, LAND (allodial title) is NOT taxable! And how many folks leaving cities and buying into PROPERTY OWNER’s ASSOCIATIONS (POAs) know this? There are NO LAND OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS for a reason!)
And speaking of taxes, if you work for ANY government you MUST pay income taxes, period. Even the tax rebellion website “Lost Horizons” says this. Makes sense, since your pay comes from income taxes, right? But if you work for a private outfit or are self-employed… But I will leave “messing with the IRS” up to the reader–be prepared for the “mess” the IRS will throw ar you! And if you are likely to never get any SS or MC benefit you paid into because you are unvaxxed… Again, do your homework! I refuse to tell you what to think, After all, I am NOT WOKE!
And now comes the “think” part. Unless you turn off the TV, you may never be able to think critically, whether you watch CNN/MSNBC or FOX or OAN or screw the news media. Unless you stop listening to idiot celebrities virtue-signalling 24/7 to save their careers… Mass formation psychosis, eh? That’s only been going on since almost forever (and I don’t need Robert Malone to tell me what mass formation psychosis is! I’ve been reading about that sorta thing since the 70s!)
Right after I got married hubby told me this truth–if the establishment says something is true, believe the opposite. In other words, stop conforming! Maybe mass formation psychosis should be called “mass conforming psychosis”!
And speaking of psychosis… a lot of Tik-Tok vids these days have crazed mask-wearers screaming at those without masks in stores, on elevators, out in the open, etc. One lady (and wouldn’t you know it, most of these are indeed female or whatever gender inclusive they are or “ze” are…I need a crash course on new gender pronouns! Bwahahahahahahahahahahah!) wore a Baylor U mask (I thank God she wasn’t an Aggie!). Two ladies were screaming in an elevator and one of them hit a BLACK man while yelling “Black Lives Matter” (!!!) at him; one lady at that anti-mandate DC protest told protestors that DC was “her” territory…and I know there are move insane “Karen” vids (with apologies to all sane women named Karen…I know a few). So why are these “Karens” acting insane (beyond even bullying)? Likely because they spend 24/7 BREATHING THEIR OWN CO2! Maybe if they ever get a sense of sanity back they’ll find out breathing their own CO2 for more than a short time per day is a very dangerous thing to do… Or do they just love that power to bully? Are their lives that empty?
Cheers! Hopefully next post will come soon… I do need to post more often….
