I do think it's possible that they will do this in various places in the west, but I definitely don't think they can achieve anything close in at least half of US states, and at least half of US states have a certain degree of self-sufficiency, in terms of farming and energy production (think Texas, Oklahoma, mini of the naturally green states in the south east, which don't require a great degree of fertilization to maintain subsistence gardens). The reason I don't think they have this strategy planned for much of the US, except for maybe California and parts of the Northeast, is that there are so many millions of people with so many millions of guns. A lot of people think that nobody will do anything because nobody has yet.
The reason nobody has done anything yet is because everything that TPTB has done so far has basically been pinpricks and frustrations. Think of the armed populace as an analog to an armed citizen in a heated argument on the street. The armed citizen knows that he doesn't need to escalate the situation, because he doesn't want to have to use force. Also, he doesn't want to be the one to initiate force and be in the wrong. This leaves him in a position to have to defend himself, which puts him at a slight disadvantage (not the first mover) from a timing perspective, but as long as he keeps his distance and remains mentally and emotionally prepared, then when other party escalates to violence, he will be able to defend himself adequately.
Preppers and the right wing populist in general, especially those who are heavily armed, all tend to be ready for anything that might happen (preparations/wise). This defensive similarly puts them at a slight disadvantage because they will not be the first mover, but it gives them enough room (prep is time, which is, in term, room to position, counter, etc.).
If we all had three days worth of food in our houses, all the guns in the world wouldn't save us, because TPTB could just shut down whatever spigots they wanted and smoke everyone out. Maybe that's their strategy and they are prepared to turn the spigots off for six or more months, but once the writing is on the wall and the armed populous recognizes that the other party has decided to escalate to true violence, all the militaries in the world could not stop just the states of Florida and Texas combined.
Great comment. That's the terrifying version... I hope it's not truly that grim in the end. I also hope that a lot more than 10% of the people on here have at least six months food and lots of other important survival tools.
Just remember, you don't need enough food to survive the entire period of famine; you just need enough food to survive long enough to find a sustainable situation. In some areas, that might be six months, and, in other areas, it might be two years. If a nuclear apocalypse occurs, we might all need five years of food to survive in the long run, and I suspect that 99% of preppers don't have as much.
Also, make sure that you have varying tiers of food preps. Start with making sure that you have weeks of your normal groceries that you go through (e.g., we consume a lot of yogurt and granola for breakfast, so I have like 12 bags of the nutrient dense granola that we eat). Then, make sure you have easy to transport, on the go style food preps (e.g., QuakeKare 3,600 cal ER Bars, which are calorie-dense enough to support 2 weeks in your backpack), in case you have to go on foot. Then, make sure you have a shit ton of long-lasting bug in food (rice, beans, powdered butter/eggs/etc., freeze dried food, etc.).
To summarize, you would have a couple weeks of convenient ordinary food in the event of a short-lived emergency, a couple weeks or more worth of on the go type food (for each person), and at least six months of bug in food (for each person).
You probably have this strategized already, but I figured I'd post this comment for anybody else who comes across this thread, and also in case it helps you in someway.
What I'm describing isn't air being truly trapped, as if it can't get through the mask / filter. I'm describing a phenomenon whereby most air will naturally remain within a loosely defined cavity, because the boundary (mask) prevents the local air current (e.g., caused by A/C, fan, people walking by, wind, etc.) from pushing the air immediately out from in front of your face.
You can imagine breathing in and out of a paper bag, and how that might turn out. This effect, put on a continuum with the effect produced by an N-95 mask, would be worse than the N-95 mask; however, the mechanism would remain roughly the same and both would be somewhere between "no oxygen at all" and "atmosphere level oxygen" on that continuum.
To experience what I'm describing, just put on a pulse oximeter and take a reading every 15 seconds for 5 minutes. Then, without getting up or changing your position, put on an N-95 mask tightly, wait 1 minute, then take a reading from the oximeter every 15 seconds for 5 more minutes. Add up the readings from each group and divide by the total counts in each group to get the average.
Once you've experienced this, we can then use the transitive / syllogistic logic of: if lower oxygen leads to brain damage (or lesser development) during childhood AND masks lower oxygen levels, THEN we come to the a priori conclusion that masks lead to brain damage.
Yeah, exactly why I'm concerned about:
https://conspiracies.win/p/15HbbUlR5A/are-we-avoiding-the-obvious/
It's not that they can "stop" (i.e., filter) an oxygen molecule; it's that they cause you to re-breathe some of the same air over and over again by trapping a pocket of air against your face (especially the huge N-95 cones). Your body bonds O2 to carbon (that's how the energy stored in glycogen is released). The resulting CO2 is poisonous. If you rebreathe, e.g., 10% more of it than normal, it will poison you just a little bit with each breath and starve your brain if some of the oxygen. Think Fluoride (doesn't make you retarded, but reduces your IQ maybe 1-2 points during your brains childhood development).
Yeah... terrain theory is some seriously interesting and mind fucking stuff to come across, for folks who have been fully indoctrinated into modern medicine. I've been fairly convinced that the degree to which we are infected by "germs", such germs are all in the family of observably large bacterium (as opposed to virus, which is why I quote "virus" in my OP).
Great point pertaining vitamin C, actually. It's interesting to ponder that it might actually be considerably difficult to engineer a scenario wherein a large portion of the world's population dies from an manufactured disease, due to the ingenuity of the human immune system, and supplements (vitamin C, etc.). And engineering such a scenario may very well first require the destruction of ones immune system (e.g., via the "vax").
Thanks, corrected my OP (Dr David Martin). Pertaining Stew, there was a video on Twitter the other day showing him do the Freemason one eye symbol in a multitude of settings, including posing for photographs - way too many to be some goofy one-off joke. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd probably bank in it.
I hope we do. I also hope that the new world is wild and free again. That's the real kind of reset we need; one that involves wielding guns on horseback while hunting wild game with our families. I'm worried that, instead, it'll be a shittier, gayer version if Blade Runner.
Firstly, I don't stalk or target-downvote anyone. I'd love for the admins to post data about this so that everyone could see. Secondly, I said above that I apologize, if I was wrong about it being you. I don't mess with anyone. I just don't want anyone to mess with me, either.
Exactly.
If Elon wanted open platform, he could take $1 billion out of the $9 billion that he invested in $TWTR and use it to create a new platform. $20 million would easily cover the software development. $100 million would build 2 data centers (one in WV and one in TX). $30 million would cover all the corporate slime and lawyers needed to make the company strong as a nuclear bunker. $0 dollars for marketing. The remaining $850 million would cover ongoing expenses.
Somebody pointed out earlier on here that he only wanted to buy it because he wanted the users for his space internet connected crypto play. That's most likely.
Earlier today when I was listening to his latest Brighteon episode I had the thought, 'what if this guy just stumbled into that Arizona University study pertaining COVID-19 and similarities to rattlesnake bites and then decided to jump on it while it was hot.' I swear, IIRC, that Arizona university story popped up in our circles just days before his interviews came out. It's possible it was the other way around (that the interviews dropped beforehand and caused the Arizona news to heat up), but i'm fairly sure it wasn't. So, imagine if, instead of "1000 hours over the past four months", he literally just pulled up a bunch of info and came up with this narrative over the weekend...
Either way, a lot of the stuff that he is saying is very plausible, and if he hadn't added his speculation about the water source being tainted, I think most of everything he said would have been provable (based on the studies he cites, etc.). I don't think, like Cliff High does, that the theory about the water source is automatically bullshit, but I also don't necessarily think that part is founded in anything real; just speculation based on the water testing.
However, to add to his speculation, it is worth noting that the big news narrative surrounding the lead tainted water in Michigan a few years ago was well timed, if the goal was to create a demand for federal involvement in local water treatment facilities. Anytime national news gives some kind of local story, which primarily impacts poor people, you know that trickery is afoot.
I hear you. And I'm not suggesting any kind of white pill Q nonsense. I'm concerned that we, as a nation, have already lost, and this fake presidency is just a way of quelling the population enough to keep everyone from marching on the capital.
That is perfect. These economics are what made the Stack overflow website so great back when it was great. In order to down vote somebody you had to spend two of your up vote points. You got five points when somebody uploaded your question or 10 points when somebody up voted your answer.
