Random Thoughts

From the Desk of John Rourke – May 17th, 2017

Far too many people get into too many details about too many things within the preparedness realm of thinking. Yeah. People exclaim you MUST have THIS gun, THIS knife, THIS radio, THIS food, THIS red dot. If you don’t follow these “expert” tips then you might as well put a bullet in your head as you have no chance of survival.

I call BS on that.

After Trump was elected I had a brief moment when I thought change could really happen. I thought this country might really get turned around. Well, change is occurring – but is it for the better? I’m not talking about what Trump wants to do rather what the rest of government and media will allow him to do. There is an absolute war against true change in Washington like I have never seen.

The mainstream media, majority of government, and Hollywood have launched a relentless publicity attack against anything and everything related to Trump. The reality is the more lies are told and pounded into the heads of the American public the more the lie will appear to be the truth. That, my friends, is all it takes.

Those – like me – that breathed a sigh of relief when Trump was elected had reason to do so but the overwhelming negativity is going to be hard to overcome in 2020. The lies, hypocrisy, and corruption preventing the “draining of the swamp” goes directly in line with the beginning stages of the American Reformation. When the President cannot request higher levels of vetting for those entering the United States due to the courts claiming racism or religious targeting.

When the President cannot request higher levels of vetting for those foreigners entering the United States due to the courts claiming racism or religious targeting – there is an obvious agenda against him. When statements made by a candidate for President are used to “infer” meaning into a law or Executive Order rather than basing examination on what the law/EA actually states – we have evidence of the “Loyalist” agenda.

For far too many American’s “truth” is not a factor when developing their opinions. The appearance of truth is all that matters to them and what is deemed popular. The country is lost.

Used salt to scrub my cast iron pan – which I have abused horribly. Worked great!

I was at the bank the other day and an elderly woman asked me to check her balance. So I pushed her over.

Was that wrong?

There are many reasons why so many love their Kindle and Amazon Fire tablets. One huge advantage is you could literally go years without every buying a book to read as there are tons of free eBooks available. Don’t have a Kindle or Fire? No problem. There are apps that can be installed on most any cell phone or computer for free. No excuses!

Today’s Freebies

     

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.

    Civil war? Maybe, hopefully not. Here’s a thought. It’s kind of simple, but seems the easiest. Don’t physically engage the liberals. See them marching down the street, let them march. Just like when white supremacist protest or hold rallies. I don’t agree with their point of view, they have right to freedom of speech, but I don’t have to provide them an audience either. However, if they attempt to harm you, protect yourself. Otherwise, just call the police and let them fight it out with the local, State, and Federal.

    No use in me or you attempting an arms race with them,(not saying you shouldn’t keep stocking up) The authorities already have better armament, better organization, and better comms then the paid liberal thugs. Let the authorities use those resources. It’s a lot different seeing the psychopaths fight law and order through the media than against us. And will..in the long run end them.

    I agree with Rourke on everything he said/wrote except I’m still hoping the country is not lost and fighting to the end. Trump needs to keep firing people like comey and all the deep state. Clean house, don’t even give the media a platform of any type of comment. For example: “Today Comey was let go today. We feel it’s in the best interest of the country and this current administration.” Regardless of whatever follows or questions twitter, Instagram, etc. Just state, please read the released statement you just read. From there let them scream, holler, and pitch a fit like the children they are. Just move on to the next step.

    They did the same thing to George W. Bush from day one. They did everything to de-legitimize his elections. They even called for his impeachment. This is the new tactic of the left, they attack whoever the Republican President is in an attempt to de-legitimize them and stir the mindless drones. It didn’t work with George W. and he won again in 2004. However, I think they have improve on their tactics concerning Trump. So, 2020 is any ones guess.

    As far as civil war is concerned we’re there. As long as it stays some what a “civil” war and we continue to seek change through elections fine, but I think the left is actually moving to the next phase, which includes violence and revolution to obtain their objectives. The next four years and beyond will be interesting to say the least.

    I too agree with Rourke in his article. I hope that Capt Michaels might be right in his final paragraph. I’m shocked that our government has become what ii is and seems there is no way to change it. Would take 16 years of conservatives in the oval office and clearing the swamp in congress of those entrenched who are simply boot lickers and in it to get what they can. Might take a civil war but wouldn’t want to see that for my kids or grandkids. Really perplexed as to how we managed to get here so quickly. Praying for the best but preparing for the worst.

    3rdMan, Unfortunately I have to agree with you on what the left is doing. I liked Trump’s speech to the Coast Guard graduating class.

    This is nothing short of a coup, and it’s coming from inside our own government…the deep state. Every day outrageous claims spread across the media, always from unanimous sources. The fact that they are disproven days later make little difference, the damage is done.

      I think you mean “anonymous” sources.

      I think their sources are the leftist reporter’s imagination. They can just make it up because we can’t make them reveal their sources!! Hmmm!

      Just to let you know I have an anonymous source that says Obama is a commie loving Islamist. Trust me its a reliable source.
