BIDEN KNEW ALL ALONG CLAIMS WHISTLEBLOWER, GOP REPORTS –More evidence is coming forward suggesting Joe Biden not only knew about Hunter’s CCP deals, but actively participated in them. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, accuses the FBI Director and Attorney General of hiding “significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden.”
New whistleblower documents reveal that President Biden “was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday, suggesting that the FBI has “voluminous evidence” related to the potential criminality of those ventures.
Grassley, R-Iowa, sent a letter Monday morning to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss detailing new whistleblower allegations that the bureau is in possession of “significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden.” Weiss has oversight of the Hunter Biden investigation.
CCP SIEZES MARKET TO KEEP NUMBERS UP AHEAD OF 20TH CONGRESS – The Chinese Communist Party is giving more specific commands to its corporations and financial institutions in a bid to keep the overall economic numbers looking good ahead of Xi’s ascension to Dictator for Life in the 20th People’s Party Congress. Moves include essentially buying and selling stocks among employees and easing.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping opened the landmark Communist Party Congress, the country’s vast financial bureaucracy has been busily tamping down ripples of turmoil across its currency and stock markets.
Chinese state banks are stepping up intervention to defend the weakening yuan, banking sources told Reuters on Monday. Scores of companies have announced share buybacks or executive share purchase plans since Friday, when regulators unveiled plans to ease share buyback rules.
State-owned banks vowed in unison that they would boost support for the economy while state-run asset managers pledged in identically worded statements their “confidence in the long term and healthy development of China’s capital markets”.
CHINA HIDES EXPECTED YEARLY ECONOMIC DATA AHEAD OF 20th CONGRESS – Just one day before the Chinese government was set to release yearly and quarterly economic reports, an indefinite delay was announced. There was no reason given for the announcement. Among the key numbers expected were the country’s annual GDP growth, quarterly retail sales, and the monthly unemployment rate.
China has abruptly delayed the publication of key economic data, one day before its scheduled release, as the ruling Communist Party gathers at a major political meeting against the backdrop of a faltering economy.
The country’s National Bureau of Statistics updated its schedule on Monday, with the dates for a series of economic indicators – including the closely-watched GDP growth – marked as “delayed.” The indicators, which had been scheduled for release on Tuesday, also include quarterly retail sales, industrial production and monthly unemployment rates.
The bureau did not give a reason for the delay or set a new publication date.
XI APPOINTD TO 3RD TERM – The 20th People’s Congress has affirmed Chairman Xi as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party for a third five-year term, ending rumors the congress was set to remove him. The congress also ended two-term limits on the Presidency, which Xi is expected to be confirmed for in March.
The move all but assures that Xi will hold on to the two key positions of power in the Communist Party, the General Secretary and the Presidency. It comes on the heels of growing unrest in the country as more Chinese protest the zero Covid policy of Chairman Xi, which might aid Xi in targeting political opponents for persecution (ahead of the 20th congress), but it undermines his credibility and authority with rank and file Chinese who find it increasingly untenable to provide for their most basic needs in the face of total shutdowns.
Xi’s power at the top will only grow, even as his power at the bottom continues to fade, leading to an overthrow or a purge on the level of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution that leds to tens of millions being killed and hundreds of millions being displaced.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS DEVOLVED INTO AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT AGAINST THE BILL OF RIGHTS IF NOT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ITSELF
For Freedomists, a fundamental principle of freedom is liberty. There are three core freedom principles: virtue, liberty, and independence. Democrats defy and betray all three principles but their war against freedom has a strong emphasis on a war on liberty.
In terms of virtue, they push an alt-gendered hedonistic anticulture and seem hell-bent for leather to eliminate the Christian witness from public life and even to make the private practice of the historic Christian faith difficult. It is clear, they don’t merely desire to ALLOW for alternative sociocultural norms among willing participants, they demand to impose their alternative as a new normal and to persecute those who refuse to bow and submit to their anticulture.
Civic and moral virtue predicated upon the Judeo-Christian historic traditions and orthodoxy are essential to the very nature of this country and drove America over the past almost 250 years along an arc of history tending toward maximum freedom and equal justice for every single human being in this land.
The Democrats push the alt-gendered rainbow fascist anticulture as their wicked and perverse alternative to the Judeo-Christian sociocultural norms and pretend their depravity is virtue and progress when in truth it is a moral failing that would lead to the collapse of our birthrate and the literal collapse of our country within one or two generations.
To be clear, it is one thing to say people can choose a culture and way of life that wouldn’t be defined as Judeo-Christian or even heteronormative and should not be shunned or punished for doing so. But Democrats want to make this the new normal and shun and shame, cancel and even outlaw, those who remain true to what may be called the Judeo-Christian historic orthodoxies or the heteronormative family tradition. Democrats use corporations, the press, and platforms but also government and government-run entities, like schools and the three letter agencies, to harass and otherwise make life difficult for those who refuse to bend to their “new normal.”
In terms of independence, their top-down global corpostate semi-planned economy and their penchant for using climate change to make people slaves to “one big system” sbows their hatred for the material independency of the People in their homes and communities from all corporate and government control. For instance, electric cars are not really your property: they can be remotely shut off, they cannot be repaired by you, and unless you plug into a centrally controlled power grid you cannot even power them. This is One Big System (OBS) and leads to the demise of personal material independency.
None of the Democrats’ proposals to “combat climate change” in any way promote or provide for sustainability and alternative renewable energy at the level of individual homes and local communities wherein the material structures are owned by individuals and small groups at the community level. Mega globalist corporations will exclusively profit and the systems creates are all OBS top-down systems that deny the individual a path toward material independency.
Many Freedomists do not disparage the idea of promoting sustainability, alternative energy, renewables (especially locally sourced), or the need to care for our environment and address potential human impact on the climate. What we insist on is a house portable and house affordable solutions wherein most of the new infrastructure is privately owned by individuals and small and independent cooperatives at the community level, even if states or the Federal government provide tax incentives of subsidies and even if the Federal government provides research with the resulting patents being free to use by all Americans but only by Americans.
The near-monopoly corporations, the platforms that censor everyone outside the corpostate narrative, and the gross top-down economics that strip individuals, families, and communities of material independency are also treasonous against the nature of this country. The fact that mostly due to Democrats the average person, family, and community are not almost wholly governed through freewill participation among people who are themselves largely materially self-sustaining is evidence of a long-term conspiracy against freedom by this authoritarian Party.
It is true Democrats defy and hate virtue and independence founded as they are upon the Judeo-Christian moral and cultural tradition, against which they declare themselves enemies. But their wanton assualt on liberty is most pernicious becuase with liberty the average person could defy and avoid the consequences of their war on virtue and independence.
With liberty, we can all get along regardless of our individual stances on things like virtue and independence, and people creating their own new normal doesn’t mean others in any way are forced into choosing between submitting to that new nornal or being discriminated against or outright being persecuted. One may not necessarily agree with or want to follow the Judeo-Christian sociocultural and moral tradition or embrace virtue and independence as we do to be an American.
We should never, ever define being an American along the lines of race, ethnicity, ancestry, or creed but, rather, as a strict adherence to a strong devotional commitment toward upholding and defending liberty for every single human beung in this land and against all hazards, foreign or domestic, official or unofficial.
Without a strict and literalist attachment to the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights it is impossible, in our view, for one to truthfully call themselves as an American. People of all religions or no religion and all creeds and persuasions or identifies of any kind can all come together within the context of a free and pluralistic society of equals if at the least they embrace and fiercely defend liberty for every single human being without exception.
We define liberty in terms of the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights. This is where Democrats clearly show how anti-freedom, and therefore anti-American they truly are. The original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights is blurred by false and childish associations with the hypocrisy of those founders who owned slaves, but the value of the Bill of Rights is that by adopting them the founders made the ending of slavery as an institution inevitable.
The original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights is defined by the founders in many quotes and writings, including both the Federalist snd anti-Federalist papers and in any understanding of the very words as commonly used in the 18th century. For instance, the word “regulated” meant “supplied”, not regulated as we use the term today, hence the Democrats false interpretation of the meaning of “well regulated militia” is itself treasonous against the Bill of Rights and should be treated as a ghastly perversion bordering on a criminal act against this country.
Democrats wage war on religious freedom, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and of the press, the right to keep and bear arms, and every other right enumeratedm They attempt to propose false rights, like a right to not be offended or social justice, to decrease or eliminate other rights. They are behaving like a mafia organization, not a legitimate political party. This is not just a political disagreement! We see this assault on the Bill of Rights and this denial of their original spirit and intent as treasonous by its nature.
The effect is to overthrow our government of the People and turn it into a corpostate authoritarian and one-party regime that no longer had the essential character of being an American Union of sovereign People and member republics.
We would like to see investigations into the ongoing insurrection and rebellion against these United States of America and our Constitution, especially a conspiracy to essentially terminate the Bill of Rights, being waged by the Democratic Party.
Foreign capture of that Party by a globalist corpostate establishment and kowotowing to China’s communist Party and Iran’s Mullahs also remain questionable and worthy of investigation. The Democrats perhaps want to be like these tyrants and their rabid hatred of Putin feels more like jealousy of the kind of power he has and his unwillingness to make deals with them like China and Iran do.
(Note: Putin, China, and Iran should ALL be treated as rogue states and all ties with all three ought to be severed as much as is practical and all efforts to foment regime change short of starting a war ought to be considered.)
The apparent amount of treason in the Democratic Party against our Bill of Rights especially is rife and starts from Biden down to every County level Democratic Party entity.
Democrats are, as a whole, earnest and decent exceptions aside, a party of authoritarianism, anticulture, and treason against the Bill of Rights, which they hate almost as much as they hate the Bible. They are, no doubt, more loyal to the likes of the Rockefellers and the Klause Schwabs of this world than their own country.
Just because one is a Democrat doesn’t mean they are bad people, but most of the worse kind of people, like felons, the Chinese Communists, and child groomers, would prefer Democrats win and most of the topmost leaders of the Party are corrupt, immoral, perverts who graft from the taxpayers and violate their oath of office with an ethically “criminal” intent.
Whoever denies the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights and tries to re-read them in a way that increases government power and decreases the sovereignty of the People is an enemy of America and should not even be called an American, regardless of their citizenship.
Note also: we Freedomists consider the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights to both be the litmus test for who we consider being an American and is also the primary standard of liberty which should be used in every single country on this planet, without exception, because these are basic God-given human rights. Laws against these rights, such as Germany’s anti self-preservation gunphobe laws, are illegal themselves.
On the other hand, even an illegal alien who agrees to honor and uphold liberty according to the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights ought to be considered more of an American than almost every Democrat who, as a collective whole, despise the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is the litmus test for treason. Everyone who in an official capacity seeks to undermine liberty according to the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights is a traitor and should be removed from office and have their citizenship stripped for at least 7 years. And everyone who argues against and denies the clear original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights should at least be considered a collaborator with traitors.
Republicans should, if they gain power, use that power relentlessly and without giving quarter, to thoroughly expose, confront, and demand the prosecution of Democrats, or Republicans, who violate their oath of office ESPECIALLY in reference to the Bill of Rights. Republicans should propose a law that states the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights and that provides for removing anyone from office who is found to have violated the Bill of Rights in their official capacity.
If you as an elected official or bureaucrat propose a law, policy, or regulation that would violate the rights of the People according to the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights you should, if found guilty, lose your office and/or job and have your rights to vote or run for office removed for seven years. Just as we prosecute people who violate people’s civil rights, we should prosecute anyone, including politicians, bureaucrats, and corporations, that violate the liberty of the People. Under such terms, there would be no Democratic Party as we know it because almost all of them violate the liberty of the People every day by their venal acts and proposals.
As any sane person in the world nervously watches the continuous back-and-forth between Russia and the West over Ukraine, wondering if they are going to see mushroom clouds start sprouting over their cities, Emperor Joe and his deranged courtiers are doing their absolute best attempt at impersonating Emperor Nero (or, perhaps, Elagabalus). With the potential of World War 3 looming (not that the dissolute Imperial Swamp Court believes that it could really happen, so why not play with nuclear toys?), the Imperial Court (I could call them the “Legion of Doom,” but they’re not cool enough) have decided that they need to continue the geopolitical game – the one they should have been paying more attention to, that is – by plotting to be invited to invade, of ALL places…Haiti.
…What?
Oh, yes. Haiti.
Haiti has long been ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world. With a low-end economy based on minuscule agricultural and mining sectors, the country’s only real manufacturing sector involves pennies-on-the dollar clothing manufacture; in fact, the country’s only real claim to economic fame, is that it supplies around half of the world’s supply of “vetier oil” (an essential oil used in high-end perfumes). Otherwise, the country is, almost literally, a “banana republic.” As a result, Haiti can’t even capitalize on a tourism industry, although it is well-suited to one, since most vacationers dislike chilling on the beach while the country literally disintegrates around them.

The main reason for this disintegration, is the political instability that followed the demise of the Duvalier dynasty in 1986. After “Baby Doc” was forced to flee the country, Haiti tried to recover from the depredations of that regime, but it suffered from continual economic decline, political instability, repeated coups d’état, and a wave of major earthquakes.
Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, 2019. US Dept. of State photo.
Elected to the Presidency of Haiti in early 2017, Moïse had started out as a local businessman. His ideas earned him the attention of a center-right political policy, that would catapult him into the Presidency of the island nation. Despite accusations of a corrupted election, Moïse did make notable progress in developing both infrastructure projects, as well as launching new initiatives to expand Haiti’s agricultural sector, by improving rice production.
However, continued controversy over when Moïse’s actual term of office was supposed to end continued to simmer. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a group of what can only be described as “hitmen” stormed Moïse’s residence in the early morning hours of 7 July 2021. Like many rulers in the world, Moïse’s residence had little real security; in fact, only six police officers were present that night – two were active informants to the attackers and the other four did their best to do nothing at all.
What followed could be favorably described as a “Keystone Kops” caper, had no one actually died. The survivors of the 26 actual attackers would later claim that they had been hired – via WhatsApp, of all things – to be security for Moïse…who were then informed that the mission was actually to kidnap the president, although several of them apparently knew well in advance that the real plan was to assassinate him. Video and audio evidence showed the attackers shouting via a bullhorn that the operation was a US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) operation, which at least help to momentarily confuse Haitian authorities.
Port Au Prince, Haiti, 2012
There followed a wild chase through the capital of Port-au-Prince, as police and civilians tried to hunt down the suspects who were now fleeing in panic, as it seems that no one had thought through what might happen afterwards. Eleven of the suspects broke into the Embassy of Taiwan, apparently seeking sanctuary, but were promptly arrested after Taiwan waived the embassy’s extraterritoriality status to allow the attacker’s arrest.
Bookmark that last – we’ll come back to it.
The subsequent investigation revealed a tangled web of conspirators, spanning Haitians, Americans, Colombians, among others, who seemingly accreted out of thin air, on a jumble of ideas about what kind of operation they were running: Were they seizing power in a coup? Were they launching a revolution? Were they arresting the president? Were they simply hitmen? The answer to all of these questions, at one point or another, was “Yes”. In this regard, the planning and execution of this operation make 2020’s “Operation Gideon” look like D-Day.

As a result, Haiti began to spiral out of control. That descent continues a year later, as certain parties are now calling for international – and specifically American – intervention…Which is odd, given Haiti’s history of intervention with the United States…Doubly so, when the United States is currently “eyeball to eyeball” with Russia, in an international confrontation that is more serious than anything since the early 1980’s.
So — why Haiti? Why the push for intervention? Haiti’s politics aside, who would be behind such an attack? There are only three real possibilities:
Christian Emmanuel Sanon, an over-60 year old Haitian-American doctor from South Florida, who was identified as a possible front-man for the operation.
The US government of Joe Biden.
The government of Communist China.
The first case, of the 60-something doctor, is more than a little bizarre. An operation like this requires a lotof money, and the rewards need to balance out the risks. While it has never been illegal (mostly) for Americans to travel to a foreign country to fight in a war, it has always been illegal to plan and conduct such operations from within US borders. As in, serious and very real jail time to those involved. In this regard, it is not really credible to assume that this came solely out of a Florida office complex.
The second case is more interesting, but verges into “4-D Chess“. It is barely – just barely – possible that Joe Biden’s administration may have set up a deliberately bungled operation to send Haiti over the edge. Why? Because that would please the Communist Party of China, who were very upset about the strengthening ties between its claimed ‘province’ of Taiwan and Haiti, while giving the US an excuse to play the White Knight, riding to Haiti’s rescue, yet again.
On Communist China’s part, they could have easily concocted the same plot, for mostly the same reasons, and ran such an operation with the help of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s intelligence services, who were actually embedded into the aforementioned “Operation Gideon” from basically the start. For Communist China, implying tacit Taiwanese support to the operation (recall some of the plotters fleeing to the Taiwan embassy compound) could give Taiwan a black eye, locally inside Haiti. On Maduro’s part, getting the United States to launch another intervention into a Caribbean nation would be a spectacular win, that he can make hay from for the next decade or so, while burnishing his image with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, of general purposes.
My own assessment? The sordid affair is most likely a combination of #2 and #3, because of the confused nature of planning, and the byzantine levels of actors involved. The US has to maintain the image of being in control of its own back yard, and with fires burning all around it, Imperial Joe’s Court of Jesters needs to distract its populace from evermore ridiculous gaffe’s and disasters…
…Until, of course, scary noises and bright lights commence.
Which, naturally, does nothing for the long-suffering people of Haiti.
Most Electric Vehicles Are Non-Sustainable Fake Solutions
By Bill Collier- While I like EV’s and want to have one to plug in to me house, I am dedicated both to increasing human freedom and sustainability as well as a clean and sustainable economy powered/owned by and for local people. Most EV’s today do not fit the need described and perpetuate a dependency upon top-down centralized systems and are too easily abused by authoritarian nutjobs in high office.
Let me explain, starting with what I truly desire.
I want to custom build an electric car but with a multi-fuel backup charging engine that is powered from alternative sustainable energy and/or biodiesel locally produced.
My aim is not purely to “save the planet” but to unplug from the supply chain and the centralized power grid, all of which commit the sin of being part of “One Big System” (OBS).
I want to custom build an EV, based on the planet scout matchbox car. Unlike all the ev’s out there that are connected to some form of OBS and have no regard for right to repair, I want the opposite of these negatives.
You don’t effectively own an EV and that can be remotely shut off by the company, and therefore by hackers and/or rogue governments that disregard human rights. You don’t own something you aren’t even allowed to repair or choose someone to repair outside the manufacturer giving you “permission.”
I reject this and find it morally offensive and that it violates human dignity and human rights.
If we could create a microfactory and use advanced 3d printing and nanotechnology, we could, I suspect, build a fleet of around 20,000 ev’s per year within a factory around 100′ by 200′ in size and using mostly either recycled or renewable materials. We could, again I theorize, do so for around $10k per modernized ev planet scout vehicle.
Of course, whoever owns Matchbox may not let us use the planet scout as our model, so maybe we have to do our own design and call it the Planet Guardian or something that conveys that buying this car is good both for people’s freedom and sustainability on one hand and the local and global environment on the other hand.
Sustainability, renewables, and recyclables along with nanotechnology and 3d printing may all be “good for the planet”, but my main draw to them has always been that they empower average people and can free us from OBS if the point of manufacture is locally-owned.
EV’s like Tesla are a mess because they are no less OBS than what we have now. In fact, due to lack of owner repair rights and remote shutting off by the manufacturer (which can be grossly abused), they are more like the stuff of a dystopian totalitarian nightmare.
Simply buying an EV does not make you a good planetary citizen, and it may actually both reduce local sustainability and bind you even more to an OBS that can too easily control you and stamp out your rights.
A locally-produced EV by a locally-owned factory, primarily using local renewables and recycled materials, with a strong right to repair by owners, and with no ability to remotely shut off or control the vehicle, is the only truly “sustainable solution” that serves both people and the planet admirably.
Despite the title, this article is not about politics, per se. Nor is it any kind of product endorsement. This is an advisory, drawn on current events. As well, these are strictly my own opinions, based on my own training and experience, and are not necessarily the position of FreedomistMIA.
I have frequently stated that fifteen or twenty years ago, I would never have imagined that this aspect of CBRN(Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear) would be what I would find myself advising people about. The first three, certainly: chemical spills happen all the time, as do pandemics (COVID is only the latest, and the one that hit me, personally), and as someone who both watched the real Chernobyl on the news when it happened, and received briefings on it later, accidents at nuclear power plants and storage areas are nothing to sneeze at.
But full-scale nuclear war, between Russia and the United States? In the early 21st Century? I’d have told you that Hollywood was no longer accepting derivative scripts like that.
Now, however, that very term is being tossed around blithely by many “leaders” in the world, and very seriously by one in particular. This has generated the usual, shockingly uninformed response from the shrill and the trolls, to scare people for the “lulz.”
So — I am going to talk to you about nuclear war, in order to inform you, rather than scare you.
The picture below is a “before and after” image of the city of Nagasaki, Japan, following it’s destruction by an atomic bomb on August 9, 1945. This was the “other” atomic bomb that week. I have been to the memorial site in Hiroshima (familial connection…on the Japanese side); should you, the Reader, ever get to Japan, you need to put it on your must-see list.
Just try to avoid going in the first week of August.
Nagasaki, Japan, before and after the atomic bombing of August 9, 1945.
This is the image most people have about nuclear war. That it is mostly wrong, is not something the wider news media is going to waste time talking to you about. The general consensus about nuclear war, as presented in such movies as The Day After, On The Beach, and Threads and reinforced by scientists of a certain political persuasion, is that after the bombs drop, those who live through that, will soon join the rest.
The reality is going to be closer to a downmarket, Road Warrior rip-off. No zombies; sorry.
While the notion of being turned into a shadow on a street by a nuclear blast is very real, the simple truth is that you have to be almost directly underneath the blast. For most Americans, that is simply not going to happen. To find out why, take a stroll through the Nuke Map website, and find the closest major city to you. This is one of the most educational sites of its kind on the internet, and a great companion to Alternate Wars’ World War 3 section.
Most people who live near a major urban area don’t actually live “in” said city, but in the surrounding suburbs. For example, I tell people that I live in “Dallas, Texas” – the reality is that I live well outside the city, itself; in fact, I don’t even live in the same county. That is a conscious choice on my part, because – in my heart of hearts – I never trusted the political leadership of the USA to not do something monumentally stupid, so I try to live outside target zones.
Nuclear weapons are expensive and complicated, so anyone deciding to fire one at an enemy long ago realized that they needed to think very carefully about targeting. Targeting enemy commands and military facilities are almost always not the first option, because – under the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) – it was assumed that as soon as you launched your missiles, the other side would launch theirs. As a result, there was no point in targeting empty air bases and missile silo’s. Likewise, targeting command elements (i.e., the President, et al) was not a good idea, because if you succeeded, there was no one left to negotiate with. So, the target planners settled on “economic and communications nodes.”
In short – cities.
If you look at a map of almost any major city, there are almost always a confluence of major highways in or near the city centers, conveniently close to major office towers housing the headquarters of companies that control “war production industries“…meaning, essentially anything that can be useful in warfare…which is virtually everything.
But, what if you don’t live in one of these “target-rich environments“? If you live “out in the ‘burbs,” like me, at most, you will get a certain amount of damage to your home (unless you are staring directly at the blast when it goes off; that will make your life…problematic). If you live in an actual rural area, you might not notice that a nuclear event has happened, until your local emergency services suddenly turn out in force.
For those thinking that the recent “advisory” posters and videos from various governments around the country, warning you to head indoors and wait for instructions in the event of a nuclear attack, means that the government will actually tell you how they are going to save you in the aftermath…they won’t. Those poster’s job is to keep you off the roads, to lessen traffic jams caused by fleeing people.
In short, the government wants you done. Well done, that is.
So…The foregoing naturally begs the question: If you’re outside a target area, a nuclear exchange does happen, and you’re alive afterwards — what do you do?
First, you need to plan ahead. If you think that I mean that you should become a “prepper” – you would be correct. But – should you stay in place, or go somewhere else? You know your area and your neighbors better than I do. If you live in an apartment complex, I strongly recommend that you have a plan to go somewhere else.
I am in a position where I have options in several directions. Again, I did this deliberately. That said, if you think that you are in a good position to stay where you are, that’s what you need to do. Hitting the road after a nuclear attack is, obviously, a pretty dangerous undertaking, no matter how well-prepared you think you are.
In addition to the requisite stocks of food – which is cheap to start, if you start now, by simply buying a few extra cans of beans and vegetables, and bags of beans and rice with every grocery run – you need to think seriously about water. Getting a couple of 55-ish gallon drums, along with several hand-pumped water purifiers for hiking, is a good step.
Next, I have to insert a disclaimer: the following is NOT medical advice. Do NOT “experiment” with the following. Short of a nuclear attack, do NOT take these products without consulting your doctor. Neither myself, nor FreedomistMIA are responsible if you violate this warning.
You have been warned.
The only specifically anti-radiation drug available to the general public in a pre-attack environment is Potassium Iodide. This is used as a protective for the thyroid glads from certain forms of radiation. The link above is to the Mayo Clinic’s advisory page on the drug – read that THOROUGHLY before taking. Potassium Iodide can be bought either as a product called “IOSAT“, which is sold in packets of fourteen 130mg pills. These are perfectly fine to use, but I do not recommend them, because in my opinion they are too expensive, and not as useful as the alternative. The better option are sold as tablets, by the bottle, usually coming as c.140 tablets of 130mg each (the standard dosage for an adult) to each bottle. The reason for this is simple: the IOSAT box is only good for protection after a single detonation — what do you do on Day 12, post-Attack, when their is another explosion? It’s a distinct possibility. Buy the bottle.
As well – calcium supplements. These are the only reasonable measure to counter the effects of Strontium-90 exposure. While there is no cure for Strontium exposure, calcium supplements can help you maintain bone health, since Strontium competes with calcium in the body. Again, talk to your doctor.
Last – multivitamins. Should an attack happen, your stress levels and changes in diet will throw your body out of whack for some time, until you can settle into a new normal. Multivitamins can help regulate the nutrients your body needs in the short term. Again, talk to your doctor.
Next, you need to consider, right now, what your gardening potential is. Start looking up your gardening zone, to see what kinds of food crops you can put in. As well, learn sprouting, because it really will keep you alive. Likewise, check out THIS video, as well.
That last thing we’ll talk about here, is personal defense and protection.
While I am fairly certain that many of those reading this article probably possess firearms of some sort, you need to think carefully about how to organize you personal and family protection strategies. Even if you live in a hyper gun-controlled state, you still have viable firearms options, such as pump shotguns, lever- and bolt-action rifles, and revolvers. Don’t do anything to run afoul of your local governments, but arm yourself, if you haven’t already.
Lastly, don’t neglect first aid. There are several products readily available, at very low cost that will significantly increase your chances of survival. Your options in this regard are vastly better than what was available 20-odd years ago. Also, there are plenty of training videos out there, on YouTube; “Dr. Bones & Nurse Amy” is one of the best.
Finally — I am not writing this to scare you. Even though I do not know you, I want you to live, should a nuclear attack happen…because the chances are very good that you willsurvive the attack, itself, and likely in relatively good physical condition. I find the idea of a person who survives a nearby nuclear explosion dying because they were not prepared beforehand, out of depression and ennui induced by sources that they should be able to trust, to be offensive in the extreme. You don’t have to know every single thing that I know, but what you need to know is that, if the worst comes, you and your family can survive, if you just exert the effort now.
I hope this helps. Good luck, check your six and keep your powder dry.
By Bill Collier- In an AP article, it is noted President Biden is essentially telling his own Party bosses that a. he doesn’t know Putin’s off ramp in Ukraine and b. he fears we are closer to nuclear war than ever, on par with the great nuclear scare of 1962. But why are we who once proudly felt our efforts had led to the end of the Cold War once again considering the possibility of a Soviet Snow?
President Joe Biden said Thursday that the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, as Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine.
AP News, October 6, 2022
The typical indeptness and “Americans last” attitude among Democrats and their little toady Biden led to this situation. Honestly, under a Republican like Trump, Reagan, or Eisenhower, Russia would have never taken such liberty. Only Democrats and their collaborators, the Bushes, would fumble so.
I still say SLAVA UKRAINI, HEROYIM SLAVA, I root for the Ukrainian PEOPLE, but I am not amused by and will not forget that the Democratic Party’s obsession with interventionism and Russophobia led to this more than anything Ukraine or even Russia did to provoke this tragedy.
On one hand, we cannot bow to nuclear blackmail but on the other hand the Democratic Party’s warmongering ways and ineptitude are the true cause of the crisis we face.
This should never have gotten this far.
It all started with Bush, the collaborator Republican, caving on Putin’s Georgia adventure and, before that, to Clinton’s insistence Ukraine surrender its nuclear arsena for a worthless “guarantee” of its territorial integrity.
But is nuclear war in the offing or is the banging of the war drums essentially the corpostate’s “wag the dog” scenario to bolster Democrats under the banner of Biden as a “war President?” The ground level truth here may be somewhat a wag the dog scenario that has gotten out from the control of its perpetrators. In orchestrating a war, the corpostate establishment meant to bleed Russia but not seriously threaten it, all in the service of the military-industrial complex, global corporate gains, and propping up Biden as a tough guy.
It is almost certainly improbable that Putin would fall for the bait and do something rash, like hit the Ukes with a tactical nuclear weapon. But so was it improbable that Putin, without massive numerical superiority or total control over the air space, would have launched a full-fledged invasion that would basically fail. This doesn’t mean Russia is out as this masisve and tough country has clawed back from defeat under much tougher circumstances.
For instance, the Ukrainians have more than tacitly agreed a rules of engagement (ROE) that says they cannot hit Russia proper despite the fact Russia is free to strike their state in any location. This notion an enemy can cross your border to attack you and annex your country but you must not strike them anywhere except for inside your country is as foolhardy as giving up Ukrainian nuclear weapons was.
But will Putin hit the button and lob a nuke into his enemy’s country?
It is more likely that if the Russians do a nuclear demonstration it will be in as sparsely populated an area as possible, followed by an ultimatum that Davos/DC will either stand up to or bow to. Whatever Kyiv wants to do, the decision will not be theirs in the end.
Full on nuclear war is unlikely and if this scenario plays out it is hard to see what will follow. Even if the Davos Axis (the Powers, state and corporate, under the control of Davos shot-callers) caves and demands Kyiv accept its role as the Czechoslovokia to a modern Munich Accord, they will inflict harsh and unrelenting sanctions on the Russians that will not be worth their phyrric victory.
This is a war on two levels. Locally it is Putin’s armies versus the sovereign people of Ukraine. But the meta reality of this war is that it is between the Davos Axis and Putin’s Russian state, which is the property of the oligarchs. The “national interests” of Western countries, Ukraine, and Russia are irrelevant, even if the Russian cannon fodder and Ukrainian frontline patriots are caught in the middle and forced to die for agendas in Davos/Brussels/DC or Moscow that do not serve them.
If you think the Democrats and their lapdog President have American interests at heart or really care for the Ukrainian people, then you are living in a bubble of fantasy not reflective of reality in the slightest.
It is possible to truly want to support Ukraine. The Davos Axis vis the instruments of American power which they now control may have caused all this. But the people of Ukraine do not deserve to be abandoned and even if the quisling Democrats are routed and American government is returned to the People, we should recognize our moral obligation to the people of Ukraine. One can both have eyes wide open as to the true cause and motive behind this war and yet also wholly support the people of Ukraine who did not choose this war.
So we face the potential of nuclear war, something we old Cold Warriors thought was in our past and something we fought to prevent. We face this because the Democrats did not know how to stand up to Putin while constantly engaging in Russophobia and incendiary rhetoric which drove the Bear into irrational fears until he lashed out. The Davos Axis wanted a quick Russian victory in the East followed by a long protracted guerilla war. The staunch bravery and fighting skill of the Ukrainians prevailed enough that arming them, after years of a military equipment moratorium, became a political necessity.
At each stage Biden resisted the next level, dragging feet on what arms would be sent, each an escalation, and now Ukrainian victories are making Putin panic and reach for the Big Red Button. Even now, Biden openly states he has no idea what Putin’s off-ramp to this war is, beyond going nuclear to level the playing field.
Thus, nuclear war looms ever closer, more than ever, and the Democrats as Davos Axis stooges wring their hands desperately without having any answers.
The showdown has been anticipated, dreaded, and hoped for since at least just after 2016, but even more after 2020, the year of the mass mailer election, the election that never was.
The news comes just after an announcement that Elon Musk appears ready to finalize the Twitter deal after promising to make Twitter more amenable to the American spirit of freedom of speech, which means, essentially, freedom from consequences for more than speech alone.
What happens next at SCOTUS, I would suggest, is more about the reality of power at the highest levels of corporate power in America today than it is about the legal reality of the case to be adjudicated.
This handful of the most powerful families in America has been mostly betting on the China model, hoping to create in America something like China’s version of “capitalism,” one which allowed for the existence of billionaires while eliminating most future competition from impeding on that market power in any way.
For the American billionaire families, they’ve bet, I theorize, that they could create a China model that blended the state and the corporation so that the billionaires in their China could not be disappeared by the party leader. They only have to look at the fate of Jack Ma and other billionaires in China that were recently purged by Chairman Xi to understand the fire they might be playing with by going down this path.
They’ve utilized the emerging market of China (along with other world emerging markets, but none which come close to China in size and potential) to fund a lot of their China-transformation conditioning back home.
By “China” I mean the China model of Socialism that emerged after the reforms of the 90s starting with Jiang Zemin, who ushered in China’s “glasnost” with a new contrivance called “socialist market economy.”
These former Americans (AINOS, Americans in Name Only) aren’t pro-China, they’re not seeking to become a vassal of the Chinese Empire. They seek to use China, as China seeks to use them, for their own party’s advantage.
They are ultimately enemies, and both sides know it. They both have data the other side wants. They both have markets the other side needs. They both see humans the same, as non-individuals meant to be fitted into a social oneness these billionaires create for their own self-empowering ends.
I believe the kids are using the phrase “frenemies” to describe what the party of the corporate-American state, the DNC, and the party of Xi, the CCP, have been since their initial entanglement, which may have begun with Nixon, but certainly was well on its way by Bush I. They’ve made a pact on Survival Island to assure they’re the last two standing, and they can then settle this between themselves at that moment.
Yes, I call this a DNC-CCP frenemy alliance, but I started off with two Republican Presidents being the catalyst of this union. DNC is a catch-all phrase that represents all the real servants of the DNC, be they “Republicans” (DNC operatives that infiltrate other parties) or so-called Anarcho-Leftists who don’t understand how they’re nothing but brown-shirt pawns of the DNC (who will suffer the same fate of the brown shirts when the DNC no longer needs them).
Something has changed recently that, I believe, has caused some billionaire families that bet the farm on the China model of socialism, the socialist market economy, to question the soundness of that decision for a number of reasons (including Xi’s authoritarian crackdown on inhouse billionaires and his tightening of the access to the glorious Chines market).
The Elon Musk buyout of Twitter (should it be finally finalized, for real this time, no takebacks) is a leading indicator that the coalition of AINOS among the billionaire families is cracking.
The number one protector of the DNC narrative, the number destroyer of DNC opposition, is social media. The big platforms, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Chinese-owned TikTok, have all developed algorithms to censor and ban dissent while elevating pro-party-line agit-prop Molotov-cocktail-throwers (like Vaush).
All the other DNC-favoring institutions, including our own banking system, follow the lead set by social media and market-kill the DNC opposition for good (or so they believed).
They’ve done this non-capitalist, non-free-market action because they had the Section 230 protection which no powers that be were interested in seeing come to the light of day anywhere near SCOTUS. They also had the mega billions of dollars they were raking in from foreign markets and foreign contracts (including with China).
They could afford to offer an un-American product to an American market because they were no longer dependent on it financially, fellow AINO market conspirators protected them from rival platforms, and they oppose the American republican social contract founded on the principle that every individual is sacred in and of themselves. That model creates way more competition, and what billionaire families want most, it would seem, is less competition.
Now, some powers that be allowed this issue to get to the Supreme Court. What’s happening behind closed doors can only be speculated, but the decisions that will be made, I support, will be reflective of the reality of power behind those closed doors.
Maybe, perhaps, some AINOS have lost their nerve and want to walk back from the abyss of trashing America’s sacred individual social contract once and for all. If so, the court will end the coalition of AINOS’ power to continue to seek to create a product, a DNC acolyte, rather than deliver a product AMERICANS want, a social media experience that allows for a level playing field for all political, religious, philosophical, etc. views, and community governance that reflects American values, not Communist, Marxist, or even Socialist ones.
We are individuals, and even dangerous ideas, even misinformation, must remain free to be expressed if we are to restore and then preserve of our American ideals of the sacredness of the individual in and of themselves.
KYRGYZSTAN AND TAJIKISTAN CONFLICT REVEAL POWER OF FREEDOM IN WINNING ONLINE PR WARS
Throughout human history, leaders of nations (even leaders that wished to form nations, such as Aelfred the Great of England) have recognized, mostly, two outcomes their social, cultural, and civic institutions must produce; they MUST CREATE a warrior class and an expert class. The people and their land must have institutions that can create humans that kill well and humans that can create and support the tools these killing humans need to do their jobs.
In addition to these two results of civilization (we’ll call it that from here on out), and almost as equally important, we need the bodies that are needed for wars. We need the bodies that are needed for the work that supports war-making.
Our civilization has neighbors who have the same thing in mind in the formation of their own civilization. These civilizations are overwhelmingly led by individuals who treat these civilizations as their personal toolbox to be used to assure they and their future DNA can continue to control the lives of the vast majority of their subjects.
Of course, for the sake of time, I am being a bit simplistic in my language, but the spirit is rightly applied to the reality I am describing, the underlying reliance on the art of killing (and all the institutions needed to produce the highest forms of killing) to assure the continued existence of the civilization you and everyone throughout human history has ever been part of.
Throughout most of human history, the sinew trumped the machine in terms of killing value, but more and more the machine is replacing the sinew, creating new institutional demands to support new types of killing arts emerging from this new shift in the potential for the human to manipulate material for the purpose of bringing death and destruction to others.
This brings us to our story:
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan’s 545-mile-long shared border erupted September 16, leaving more than 100 people dead and over 100,000 people displaced. A cease-fire was signed September 25, 2022. There were no real winners, however, Kyrgyzstan won the online PR war thanks to having more freedom of expression than Tajikistan does.
As press freedom goes, Kyrgyzstan ranks rather low, coming in at 72 in world country rankings. However, their counterpart, Tajikistan, ranks 150th, near the bottom (there are 195 recognized countries in the world).
Relative to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan is a thriving hotbed of free expression producing high-quality content that makes Tajikistan look like a tone-deaf cringe-lord begging the public to listen to their carefully crafted press releases.
The PR war online was decisively won by Kyrgyzstan despite appearing to be the military “loser” in this affair. It could well be, though, that the Kyrgyzstanis were better at highlighting the damage done to their areas as opposed to the damage they did to the Tajikistani areas.
Kyrgyz Ministry of Education reports that 26 schools and 30 kindergartens in the Batken region closed as nearly 137,000 people evacuated since the fighting started. Of these, ten schools and seven kindergartens were damaged either by shrapnel or direct attacks. Currently, most schools have resumed full or partial functioning, except the two that were heavily damaged. One of these schools, located in Ak-Sai, was taken over by Tajik-affiliated forces on September 16 and used as a base for two days.
In Tajikistan, at least one school educating 450 children was damaged by fire on September 16. In another school in Khojai A’lo, Tajikistan, a teacher, 51-year-old Bakhrom Khakimov, was reportedly killed while trying to protect his students. The Tajik authorities have confirmed that 200 civilians have been harmed in the hostilities.
Regardless, this conflict results in another cease-fire, with neither side gaining or losing much on the ground. However, as far as the world is concerned, the Kyrgyzstanis gained tremendous ground, which might lead to more support from the outside world than the Tajikistanis can hope to gain.
Kyrgyzstan is very friendly to crypto as well, making itself somewhat of an emigree target for wanna-be expats in the west looking to go on a new adventure. No such opportunities lie on the other side of the border.
It should be noted that Kyrgyzstan has been making anti-free-press moves as of late, moves that might be second-guessed after seeing what a free press culture can do in the digital information wars compared to one that lacks it.
There are many factors that go into producing an effective killing and anti-killing strategy, including access to the raw resources needed to make the machines themselves, but none of them, I would support, will be as significant as the freedom of expression factor in the wars of the near future.
If your civilization lacks free expression, then it will soon become threatened by those that do not, unless you are a satellite of a free expression nation willing to shower you with military tools and expertise.
These two nations are in perpetual geopolitical tension due to the non-emergent nature of the border imposed on them by the then-Soviet Union. The boundaries are not reflected of geopolitical realities in terms of the purely physical as well as ethnic history. This is a reality that is shared around the world, especially among former Soviet satellites.
For the nations that exist in similar conditions to the ones in this story, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, the key lesson to be learned here, one that even the Belarusian President should heed, is that free expression cultivates the institutions needed to produce an effective killing and anti-killing strategy when dealing with threats from competing civilizations outside your borders, ESPECIALLY if you cannot hope for real aid from any of the major powers.
There is a technical parity happening around the world, for a number of reasons, including the proliferation of open-source augmented intelligence programs (AI, but I call it augmented instead of artificial). This technical parity, in addition to the shrinking nature of warfare (as drones become more and more dominant, as I predict they will), will mean that the advantage in warfare will come in inspiring support and intelligently utilizing killing tools that are mostly comparable to the ones they’ll be facing.
The sinew has given way to the machine, but now the machine is giving way to the mind. When the mind becomes the number one factor in war, the civilization that impedes dangerous free expression, for hate speech, for misinformation, for blasphemy, for security, etc., is sure to be a past civilization in the course of near time.
As the machine gives way to the mind, even as it is the very facilitator of it, the people who can think in the most dynamic, responsive way, in the most semi-autonomous way, without needing central commands, are the people that will win Empires in the decades, perhaps centuries, to come.
