It may have been noticed that I missed recognizing 9/11 yesterday as I have always done over the years. No disrespect was intended and the victims and heroes of that day should be thoughts of more than once per year. My own beliefs regarding the root cause of that event and the government actions afterward… Continue reading Have We Forgotten September 12th?

(See what I did there?). 🇺🇸 Free Shipping on all… Continue reading Sale This Weekend – 17.76% OFF ALL ITEMS / Promo Code: “1776”

It’s with great sadness that I let everyone know that longtime 1776 community member Arlene has passed. Arlene often commented and shared her thoughts on things. She also commented at times under the name “Lightning”. Arlene followed me over here from my previous website and we also exchanged emails every so often. Over the years… Continue reading Some sad news……

Several days ago the United States credit rating was downgraded for only the second time in history. The reason for this is fairly simple and straightforward: The financial position of the average American continues to degrade while at the same time, the Federal Debt grows at an astronomical rate. Recession – if we are not… Continue reading Economic Collapse Is Just a Matter of Time

Those who are deeply invested and have fallen victim to the woke agenda are now attacking Jason Aldean due to his most recently released single.  “Try That In a Small Town” shows numerous examples of illegal violent acts carried out during riots across big cities in America. The message Aldean states is simple – big… Continue reading My New Favorite Song: Try That In a Small Town, Jason Aldean

It’s important that the public becomes educated on The Great Reset and what the powerful and evil elite have planned. It was just a few years ago I thought the mention of a group of powerful people who guided much of what happens in the world was a nutty conspiracy theory. I was wrong. I… Continue reading Video: Dark Future- Uncovering the Great Reset’s TERRIFYING Next Phase

My 2 cents on the challenges the USA would face if trade stopped with China. My personal experience is with having a background in manufacturing management, process development, and procurement. Would love to hear your thoughts. JR    [ecwid_product id=”564410521″ display=”picture title price options addtobag” version=”2″ show_border=”1″ show_price_on_button=”1″ center_align=”0″]

I have a love-hate relationship with the ability for this country to be saved from a complete implosion. When I look back over the last 50 years of not only how much this country has changed, but the extent to which my respect and admiration for who we are as a people and what we… Continue reading It’s Getting Worse…..

With all the insanity going on in the world I have been finding that Glenn Beck is doing an exceptional job navigating the specifics, facts, and possibilities with many unreal situations that are going on. In the video below – which I implore you to watch – Glenn does an excellent job relaying the current… Continue reading WW3…..Russia……Cuban Missle Crisis

If you’ve not heard it’s being reported that Moscow was attacked by an estimated 8 drones. Early Tuesday morning explosions could be heard around the city and damage to several buildings occurred. There appears to be no death although at least two people with injuries have been reported. Moscow is approx 310 miles from the… Continue reading Questions on Moscow Drone Attack

A few days ago it was announced that satellite phones were offered to US Senators as a means of “emergency communications”. Opinions cover a wide spectrum of possibilities as to the specific reasoning for the move. Reports state that the action was in response to the January 6th insurgency, others suggest this is in the… Continue reading Senators Receive Satellite Phones

There are so many events transpiring at this very moment that will have a significant impact on our lives in the future. The current massive invasion at our southern border is a ramped-up version of what has happened for years. This illegal immigration has had a tremendous negative impact on our culture, economy, and security.… Continue reading Massive Invasion Started at the Southern Border

Tucker Carlson has been fired from Fox News. No matter the spin – he’s been fired. I shouldn’t have been surprised. This war of ideologies has one side being relentless, operates within NO moral boundaries, is seemingly unstoppable, and they are united. That side ain’t “us” by the way. Our side stands on moral principles… Continue reading Tucker Carlson Gone at Fox

The Deep State has relentlessly fought for control and against freedom. When they go after Steve Bannon, Andrew Tate, General Flynn, January 6th protestors, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange,  and now President Trump they are actually going after all of us. When will the tables turn? Keep prepping folks. Rourke

If you’ve followed me for the last few years you know I have a love-hate relationship with politics. For numerous reasons I largely believe participation in the political process is a complete waste of time. Washington and most state capitals are full of corruption with the priority of those elected to come into possession of… Continue reading Trump To Be Arrested Tuesday?

There is certainly a lot of rhetoric about these recent bank failures and the government is playing it off that there are no “bailouts” and all is OK. This economic environment is unlike anything we have seen before. Record low unemployment, businesses of all sizes desperate to find workers, interest rates skyrocketing, the stock market… Continue reading Banks Collapsing and Real Life

Over the past several years I’ve grown to doubt more and more whatever government – any government – tells us. This past week an apparent computer issue ground ALL airline departures. This was the first US national grounding of flights since 9/11. Initial theories started with questioning if the outage was the result of a… Continue reading Flights Grounded in United States AND Canada – nothing to see?

I wish everyone a very safe and Happy New Year. Take care – Rourke

In this short video Dukes of Hazard star John Schneider discusses climate change, overpopulation, fuel prices, government overreach, and politics. John is a frequent voice of common sense and logic. Forget the emotion and special interests. Let’s deal with facts and what TRUTH is. Enough. Here’s the video: Share this post with like-minded people. Take… Continue reading Recommended Video: Food?

I continue to post this video on November 11th. God willing, it will be posted many more times. Thank you for your service!!  

Not surprisingly news stories are all over suggesting irregularities with the voting process across the nation. A lot of focus is on Arizona as newcomer Kari Lake takes on the establishment Democrat Governor. Yes – the country remains split into multiple factions. Some are focussed on the economy, freedom, and traditional American values. Others are… Continue reading Mid-Term Elections

It seems to me that modern medical technology and our “civilized society” has created an environment whereby far too many safety factors that been initiated and generated a population of individuals that natural selection would have weeded out long ago. Generations have been produced from those individuals that otherwise would be absent from the face… Continue reading Modern Day Society and Natural Selection

I’m recommending this video from Glenn Beck as he discusses the current inflationary environment we find ourselves in and the news spreading across the internet about our banking system:  The U.S. economy is in trouble, and Americans are feeling it. But thanks to central banks around the world, it’s not just the U.S. dollar facing… Continue reading Recommended Video: The U.S. dollar might CRASH. Here’s how YOU can prepare.

My thoughts on this extremist environment we find ourselves in. We are surrounded by media conglomerates and political groups spreading lies and pushing agendas. More and more people are realizing every day that much which was absolutely excepted and believed to be true is completely false and is nothing but propaganda. We have been and… Continue reading Are MAGA Patriots & Conservatives Being Targeted By The Radical Left?

I’ve struggled with the level of politics to share on this website. When I first started 1776, I said many times that preparedness and politics were intimately connected. The reason for that is simple: The vast majority of potential events that preppers prepare for have a direct connection to the government. This includes economic collapse,… Continue reading Evil In The World Is Growing

I recently watched a Youtube video where someone went on a college campus and was asking students who attacked us on 9/11. Hardly anyone could provide an answer and really didn’t know anything about the incident. My beliefs on what happened that day have certainly changed over time. Regardless – thousands of innocent souls were… Continue reading 9/11
