A couple of years ago, I took an informative home defense course. As our instructor began the presentation, he told us to unlearn whatever misinformation on home security we had learned.  “You could fill the Grand Canyon with misinformation about responsible gun ownership, self-defense, and home defense”, he said.  To illustrate his point, he asked everyone to give a description of what the common home invasion/robbery looks like.  A couple of people described something they have seen in the movies: “A guy dressed in black, wearing a beanie, and holding a flashlight breaks into your home at night to steal your television”.  

So that answer is way off.  I blame the ADT commercials.  Actually, most home invasions are committed by drug users in broad daylight.  Even if you have a fancy alarm system, it is well known that response time for a break in is typically around 15 minutes.  That’s plenty of time for a tweaker to observe that you are not home, break in the door with a couple well placed kicks, and then proceed straight to your medicine cabinet and bedroom for loose medications, cash, and guns to steal.  

Why is there such a gap between the common idea of a home invasion and a real home invasion?  Our instructor explained that humans have a defense mechanism whereby we tend to project ourselves onto others when we form our expectations of them.  And it usually  serves us well to expect that others are like us: honest, hard working, fairly intelligent, and decent people.  It’s hard to imagine a tweeker breaking into your house the way I described, because you would never think to act that way yourself.  You don’t do meth, you fear jail, and whatever sins you commit, you try to keep in the dark.

But there are bad guys in the world who do really screwed up things.  From tweakers all the way to rich powerful men who commit crimes against their fellow men (also in broad daylight).  And they have solid “reasons” behind why they do what seems “crazy” and unthinkable to the rest of us.   Heck, even the tweaker actually knows where the valuables are (TVs are cheap, meds and guns are expensive) and how unhelpful your alarms system is.  Maybe they aren’t  just “crazy” and “stupid”, but more like strategic, reckless, and wicked.  


“Stupid”


“Those morons in Washington are at it again!  All that foolish over zealousness about climate change has lead to stupid policies!  Don’t they know that we all won’t be able to own and drive electric cars??  Don’t they realize how crazy they are to actually think the world is going to blow up within the next decade because of our fossil fuel use?  This clean energy push isn’t even economically viable!  Those idiots!!”

These are the rants of an American public projecting their own values and sense of decency and integrity upon evildoers.  A public who, more or less, believe that there is no greater plan, there are just some really dumb elitists, politicians, and voters who put them into power.   Throw in some Occam’s razor (the theory that the simpler explanation is almost always the correct explanation) and you have a recipe for a sleep walking populous.  A populous ready to accept that high inflation, the enormously growing housing bubble, gas prices, incompetent press secretaries (but hey, she’s a black immigrant lesbian, yay!) are all just a result of stupid but powerful people.  People whose “sincere” love for “their” “misguided” policies are going to leave them embarrassed soon enough!  

It is even easier to believe such a simple narrative when you think how easy the solution is.  “No worries.  I and the rest of America are awake enough now.  Their will be repercussions in November.  Just wait!”  I wish all we had to do was sit patiently until we can fill out bubbles on a piece of paper in November.  Hey, you can’t fix “stupid” so why muster up much energy?  And if the mules win it for the Dems again, that’s alright, you can just fly a flag that says, “don’t blame me, I voted Republican”.  Done and done.  Civic duty accomplished!

Unfortunately, the consequences of the last two years (in particular) are not the simple result of some misguided dummies.  Even if you have not been studying the “Great Reset” in depth, it’s time to acknowledge that there are intelligent men driving the collapse that America and much of the world is currently experiencing.  

Every great crisis or catastrophe is an opportunity.  Those with the resources and the mindset to “score as many points as possible” (the overall trajectory of human civilization and human rights be damned) will “place their bets” and try to “win” as much as they can.  Because, they think, if they don’t set themselves to be winners in this current situation, someone else will.  As Otto Von Bismark has been credited with saying, in variatons, “Better to lead a conquest than to be the victim of one.”

The elitist bad actors are not men who have stupidly fallen short in an earnest attempt to separate what is right from wrong.  They are not principled (mis-principled) men who have foolishly blundered on formulating and executing a plan that they think will advance the common good for the countrymen of their puppets.  And the puppets you see on television and at podiums with fancy seals are in no kind of control.  They simply stand in persona of the powerful, hungry, well networked, and highly influential elites.  Elites who are so far removed from seeing and operating in the real human world that they have literally no idea how to actually advance human flourishing by the guidance of immutable principles that determine “right” vs. “wrong”. 

To them, there is no “right” or “wrong”.  There are only “winners” and “losers”.


The Mind of  a “Winner”


In September of 1992, one of the most underrated events in history took place.  Barely anyone either knows about it or can express it half well enough to tell the story.  Don’t you hate it when some of the most significant events in history are hard to understand, and thus ignored?

But the event actually began well before 1992.  It began shortly after WWII.  The common narrative is that after WWII, many European leaders began working towards some kind of unification of Europe in hopes to avoid another massive European, or possibly another World War.  It would have been terribly difficult and undesirable for enough European leaders to make Europe one giant nation, but, as the narrative continues, if only the currency could be made common.  Perhaps currency unification could bring enough stability and cooperation among the nations to avoid another war.  And if a common currency was a bridge too far, then perhaps there should be controls on the exchange rate from one currency to another.  This is how the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) was sold.  

The participant nations in the ERM chose the German Deutchmark as the currency that other nations would pace.  Some leaders eagerly married their respective nations to the ERM, while others, like Margaret Thatcher of England, saw the ERM as too artificial and dangerous considering the dissimilarities between one nation’s economy and another.  The market needed to organically determine the value and exchange rate of a currency.  Minds like Thatcher wondered, “How can England pretend to pace a German currency when the two economies are so different?  The imports are different, the exports are different, the trade relationships each nation has is different, and England has an inflation rate three times that of Germany?!”.

When John Major, a pro ERM candidate, became Prime Minister in 1990, England was set to find out.  England joined the ERM the same year.

Meanwhile, a Hungarian born “Spectator” saw the weakness of the new position England was putting herself in.  So he built his own position;  the short position against the British pound.  How did he do it?  He borrowed as many pounds as possible from any and every bank that would lend to him.  He built his position by borrowing 1.5 billion pounds.  Of course that was all borrowed at interest, but George Soros understood that if he could sell pounds “high” and pay back the pounds, plus interest, after the value had plummeted, then he would still make a HUGE profit.  Soros knew that he was in a good position to become a big winner.  

So how did he pull it off?  At that point the rest of the recipe was simple: wait for an inflection point and trust the feedback loop that would materialize if he led the herd of banks and investors in selling a devaluing currency as quickly as possible. 

He got his inflection point when the President of the German Bundesbank was parphrased as saying that he did ”not rule out the possibility that... one or two currencies could come under pressure" in the UK's the Times.  That unofficial comment was enough for Soros.  Soros took advantage of the comment as well as the fear that already existed in the minds of many.  He immediately built a position of 10 billion dollars worth of pounds and sold them as quickly as possible.  When Soros sold all of his pounds, it indeed started an avalanche that put the pound into free fall.  On September 16th, 1992, Soros, and those who followed his trend, successfully shorted the British pound.  The Bank of England lost over 3 billion pounds, all to be shouldered by the British taxpayer.  On the pound alone, Soros personally profited 1.1 billion dollars on Black Wednesday.  

That same day England abruptly and sheepishly pulled out of the ERM.  

Soros’ perspective on his doings are what one might expect from a man who sees the world in terms of winners and losers.  His justification was that he was merely correcting the market.  Additionally he said, "had I not taken the position, somebody else would have..."1  Kind of like Bismark’s preference to advance a conquest rather than to suffer from someone else’s.  

The point of this illustration is not to go down the “George Soros rabbit hole” or to blame our current problems on the man.  There are plenty of books and videos out there arguing that Soros has shorted currencies time and time again since by a more direct method.  A method of creating inflection points by causing civil unrest in societies, causing currency devaluation.  It’s a hell of a way to collect assets when people’s businesses close and they forbear on their homes.   But I don’t need to go down that rabbit hole here.  My point is to show how powerful even one elite man can be in manipulating a nation’s affairs for his own personal gain.  There are English today who insist vehemently that the effects upon the common people of England are still felt 30 years later.  Perhaps they are.  

What Geoerge Soros did in 1992 is benign compared to what certain rich and powerful elitists can do if they know how to “place bets”.  And whether it’s done  by shorting a currency, financing revolutionary groups (BLM, ), or fear mongering for a pandemic gift that kept on giving, it doesn't matter.  No matter how the economy comes crashing down bad guys will be there to “win”.  Pray and act so that you can escape being one of the “losers”.


Two years later, who are the winners and who are the losers?


You probably missed it, but a few weeks ago, even Dr. Fauci finanlly acknowledged that the pandemic is over.

We only had to destroy an economy, wreck the education of millions of children, suffer obscene increases in suicide, drug use, and domestic abuse during lockdowns, and force millions to take an experimental gene-editing therapy or lose their livelihoods in order to FINALLY beat the virus with a 0.1 - 0.2% death rate.  Mass paranoia, mass formation, mass pyschosis, etc…  BuT We BeAt It!! yAy!!

Unless these policies somehow saved your life, you have been losing for two straight years.  And though you may have enjoyed some “shut up and buy some more crap” stimulus money in 2020, we are all losers now that we are finally paying through inflation.

But again, is the situation we are in now the result of “stupid policies”?  No!  There are too many “winners” from this opportunity to “correct the market” that Covid created.  I’m not going to chronicle the whole thing, but when hospitals rolled along with the medicare compensation of $13,000 for every diagnosed case of “Covid” and $39,000 for every Covid patient on a ventilator, these hospitals were winners.  Who else won and who lost?  

Well, it didn’t look good for Trump when those numbers were inflated, did it?  Getting him out of office has certainly helped a number of special interest groups paying the Democrat party to serve their financial interests, right?  What about the psychological damage these inflated numbers caused the paranoid masses?  How about the young children who observed a community of zombie like mask wearers at the grocery store from the child seat in the cart?  Losers.  

Big Pharma used the Pandemic to eliminate all sorts of red tape from the on ramping process to get new drugs on the market.  And many “conservatives” applauded it; “look at how Trump got stuff done!  And such a libertarian too!  He looked all that red tape in the eye and practically laser beamed it away!   Raise the Gadsden flag high!”  The fact that  practically no Leftists objected to operation warp speed should have been your sign.  Considering the circumstances, I do not regret voting for Trump twice, but he absolutely helped make  winners of Big Pharma and losers of those who were subsequently coerced into the “vaccine”.  

Who else won?  Well let’s take a look at the real “market correction” that happened in 2020.   In Donald Trump’s presidency, the economy made steady gains in every quarter… until the second quarter of 2020.  Then it took a major dump.  Turns out shutting down a country’s economy closes a lot of businesses.  And the smaller the business, the more vulnerable.  In quarter three, all the economic losses, in terms of dollars, were recovered!  And Trump took full responsibility: “It’s huge.  It’s a really big deal.  I did it.  I recovered the economy right away and no one else could have done it… everyone knows it, believe me!”

And that sounds great until you realize that missing out on two months or more of transactions and coming back at half capacity was enough to close many mom and pops for good.  The economic recovery simply took dollars that would have gone to them, and put them straight into the companies that many who were put out of work are now employed by… the Beast that is Big Tech.  “Yay! Our economy in Phoenix has recovered and then some! Yay!  All we needed was for a Facebook data facility to park it’s ginormous self in the East Valley!”  

You have heard of Meta/Facebook, right?  The entity that suppressed any rational “hold up, Covid might not be so bad” posts and declared them “disinformation” all throughout the pandemic.  The company whose CEO endorses Universal Basic Income and who strategically invested 400 million dollars into generating votes in strategically blue regions throughout the country.  Their presence in The Valley should be a constant reminder that the little man can be manipulated, forced to change his genes, closed down, and stolen from.  And since Zuckerberg is “winning” off the heels of the “natural ebb and flow of capitalism”, I guess we aren’t allowed to be upset that we were made losers?.  Oh, we conservatives really can be dumb sometimes, can’t we?  That’s ok, just keep memeing away on Facebook (irony) against those “stupid” policy makers in Washington and we will win the war someday…  Oh, dear.  

And then you have all those who “won” by day trading during 2020 and 2021.  Specifically those who invested in the Big Tech platforms that everyone used excessively during lockdowns, thus increasing the companies’ revenues.  Congratulations.  Good job “betting on” (financing and empowering) FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google).  Good job “winning” that round, but now that such transhumanist run, UBI supporting, global reset agenda, World Economic Forum participating Beast Corporations were made even stronger through the blood of the little men throughout this country, there will be consequences.  

Our children will be losers when Mr. “You will own nothing and be happy” gets his way.  When Blackrock and Vanguard own all the houses and rent them to our children at a rate that will simply put them in perma slave like debt for their whole lives.  When small to medium size business are all gone and there is no one for our kids to work for but an Amazon willing to microchip their employees.  When Google’s Waymo is perfected and there are no more truckers to desperately power play against the tyrants to protect you from forced vaccinations, gene editing, and a biotechnical security state.  

There must be something more to winning the long game.


THE META-VERSE!!!


Speaking of, are you getting scammed into investing in the Meta-verse right now?  Let me be clear about what the Meta-Verse will amount to.  It’s going to serve as a vehicle to subvert the masses of Zoomers into pissing their lives away in a fake world.  One where where they will mostly use their ocular goggles to engage in some of the most out of control porn consumption imaginable.  Oh well, it’s not like we might need this generation to do anything noble, bold, and courageous anytime soon, will we?  

Additionally, the Meta-Verse will supplement the “New Standard” being presented to the Zoomers right now: you won’t be able to own real property, but you can own thousands of digital acres in the Meta-verse.  Accept and put the goggles on.  

Maybe you invested in Microsoft once before and already reaped the rewards of this kind of zero marginal cost “product” being gobbled up by Millennial fools back in the good old days of Xbox Live and “down loadable content”.  Meh, society still stood even though this set up fed the overgrown child culture of boys in their 20’s and 30’s living in mom’s basement forever.  It will all be okay if we launch this investment model in hyper mode this time, right?  Just as before, society will still stand and you won’t be enjoying all these dollar bills in a wasteland you helped create in order to make them, right?  

WRONG!  You survived 2020 and the roving BLM Millennial and Zoomer revolutionaries once.  But this is a dangerous feedback loop to be playing with.  In 20 years, this society will be so far destroyed by this already desensitized, lazy, and angry generation Z that you will eventually be a loser too.  Enjoy all that money you made off the Meta-Verse when you have no nice vacation resort to stay at, away from the rabble of society, because these wrecked people you helped create have littered needles and shit all over it.  Isn’t California so magical?  The black box of digital innovation investing can just magically make someone millions of dollars forever without it ever catching up with him, right?  Wrong!  Silicon Valley made billionaires at the cost of turning the state into a version of hell on earth.  Just wait until this next phase runs it’s course.  

Just like you would clearly see that “betting” on the Marijuana business by erecting a dispensary would be you contributing to the delinquency and corruption of the youth, please rethink what you are doing if you are investing in the Meta-Verse.


The next round of winners and losers


I don’t know who all the winners will be when the food shortages materialize.  As real as the current baby formula shortage is, the food shortages may very well be.  We are currently riding last year’s harvest.  In the aftermath of Covid, with fertilizer in short supply since Ukraine/Russia, ever rising gas prices, and the dozens of food plants that have caught fire, it's reasonable to expect more significant shortages. 

If you are anxious to understand who the winners will be, I suppose you could look at the new innovation in Iran being used to solve their current food shortages.  Digital bread lines powered by Biometric ID monitoring.  That’s worked well in China, right?  They seem to be pretty free people over there, right?  

Every one of these disasters that have been happening over the last two years, and the ones that are ahead have predictable solutions that are packaged by Hegalian elitists who know how to hedge and short off of the current catastrophes.  Anti-thesis meets thesis.  They are accustomed to influencing and betting on feedback loops that they can influence, not by creating the catastrophes, but by observing their early formation and then nudging them into completion. Hey, whatever it takes to win, right?  And there is no objective moral truth aside from an extreme Capitalistic/faux-Libertarian/pro big corporate/big government position that there are simply winners and losers, right?  

For example, many who posture as Republicans will be eager to embrace techno security solutions to solve the hunger issues that come here as well as the empty police department dilemma we will be facing soon.  Check out Stansberry institute and how many Americans have already invested in the techno security state and mandatory “got to have your phone on you at all times to use digital currency” system in China.  Just wait for the convenient “oh look what solution is already available” that will come to our country soon.  And when the police forces are near empty, watch how quickly the insane amount of facial recognition cameras will be installed in every part of the world around you.  “Well, it’s unfortunate that it has gotten to this point, but here we are now… no longer safe from the barbarians we Americans made ourselves.  Aren’t you ready to feel safe again?  To just get back to working at your sedentary job and watching the sports ball game in the evening?  Just call your representatives and urge them to advance these techno-security solutions!”, is what the RINOs will say.  

You were chosen, by God, to live in this time for a reason.  You get one chance to live it to it’s fullest.  To be courageous.  So don’t be a “winner”.  Be a saint.


The Inevitable Flood


I have spent the last two years aggressively warning people that a flood is coming.  And I have experienced mixed results.   For awhile I made a point to be at like EVERY pro-life, Grassroots Republican, and Church Security related event that I could possibly attend.  I led a group of 1,000 Jericho marchers in the rosary around the capitol and helped several sub communities develop on the back-roads of alternative social media.  I have written over 50 “The Flood is Coming!” type articles in my “free time” and hosted a conservative Catholic men’s retreat with 200 strong.  I joined a group of 30 or so Catholics who were trespassed by a priest hosting a “vaccine” drive, I organized multiple petitions delivered to our bishop to resist subsequent lock downs and urging him to publicly support those following their conscience in resisting the “vaccine”, I helped get the ball rolling in my diocese for church security, etc…

I have tried everything I could think imaginable to kick and scream and challenge men to resist this so obvious Great Reset now facing us.  And I wouldn’t trade it back!  Because I have met some real winners through it all.  Winners who all grew closer to each other and closer to God.  Thanks Covid.  Thank you, Great Restters, for challenging us.  I have developed amazing relationships with and seen tremendous growth in the men who came together as precinct committeemen.  Winners!  And again, thank you, bad guys!  By merely getting the ball rolling for church security, competent men stepped up and made it into a real formidable product that has developed into a fraternity that strengthens men and protects churches.  So much winning!  My family and many others have encouraged each other to home school our kids away from the inferior product provided in American schools.  We are members of the real winning class since 2020.

But what has been the cost?  For me, a lot of time away from my family and a lot of time, effort, and energy I could have been spending prepping to protect my family from what is coming.  

And no, it didn’t help to see such an inept response from clergy against the “vaccine”, and no, the REO speedwagon network modus operandi in handling an event in February didn't help either.  But this “warn people of the flood that’s coming and hope that those who know the fullness of the truth (Catholics, and particularly traditional Catholics) will present a formidable response enough to stop this flood” is losing it’s consolation. 

Why?  It’s not because of the fault of anyone I have grown in fraternity with these last two years.  Not at all!  We are all doing our best.  And there has been and will continue to be tremendous consolation for the brave people who have been resisting!  But in terms of stopping this flood... it has been building up in the rain clouds for too long, has been prepared for far too well, and is being too well executed with too much money for it to possibly be stopped.  Period.  It’s too late, the flood is coming.  60 years of programming and dulling the masses with television, and 25 years of the mass porn distributing internet, and the writing is on the wall.  And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  The price the world will have to pay is inevitable and it is horrific.  There is no way to stop this flood. 

And frankly, it's not worth our time to keep yelling about it in attempt to stop it.  There is only time left to prepare. 


What’s next?


If the flood can’t be stopped, it’s time to get dead serious about ark building.  I need to build and you need to build.  Are you prepped yet?

I literally just finished reading the last book I needed to research for the book I am writing.  I also have over 400 pages of rough notes prepared.  Yeah, it’s going to go into much more detail about the coming flood, but the thesis will be on what you can do to prepare for the flood, not to stop it.  Sorry for the delays, but the book will be finished.

But going forward, I would like to write more productive and positive articles.  Articles about farming.  Reviews of things like the Pine phone.  Good news.  Ideas about authentic Liberal Arts Education in a dystopian future.  Articles that celebrate families that happily embraced homeschooling post-Covid, etc…  

Talk of the coming flood?  Oh, I might end up guilty of it from time to time, but I will not be writing warnings or ideas on stopping it.  Just how to find consolation in and how to prepare for it.

And yeah, there are still some public events worth attending for sure.

Ironically, I would like to close with another quote from Otto von Bismark.  “Man cannot control the current of events. he can only float with them and steer”.  I don’t think he meant it the way I choose to interpret it, but I think he is right.  There is no way to change this tide.  There is no way to stop what is coming.  Are there things that can be done to curb its impact in your community?  Sure, there are some.  And if that’s your calling, all the more power to you.  But the most one can do at this point is alter how the flood affects him when it indeed comes.

The rain will speak for itself.  Get praying, get farming, get more self-sufficient, learn some more essential skills, get those who have proved their worth into your foxhole, and build that ark.  

God bless,

Gadfly
