The Sheeple, Herded by Wolves in Black Paramilitary Garb, and Suffering Effects of the Insanity Virus: Symptoms and Causes

There is a group of people who reside here in the USA who are suffering, needlessly, from the effects of the highly contagious Insanity Virus. This virus infects the hearts and minds of the populace via an aggressive propaganda campaign waged against our wills, across the span of more than a generation. It involves a brain-washing mixture of political correctness, pseudo-conservationism, sociocultural breakdown, and false intentions backed by seemingly proper and good reasoning. That is, 'they' use attitudes and principles with which almost nobody disagrees, or which we have been brainwashed to believe without question, in order to promulgate their agendas, with deceptive cover. For example, The Bundy saga.

Here we have a basis of pseudo-conservationism and the so-called 'green' revolution (and/or climate conspiracists) used as the reason for usurping both states' and the peoples' rights. They use a common method to destroy industry across the nation, this past generation: first, some obscure, so-called "endangered" species of owl, or  fish, or tortoise or whatever, is identified. Next, in order to 'protect' said organism, they first limit, then mandate removal or discontinuance of whatever industry or activity they wish to quash. Then, coincidentally, there is some usurping group or company that somehow gets a free reign over the land use, and the profits roll in. Again, coincidentally, the people who seem to actually benefit are related to, or associated with, the politicians and/or corporate interests of their contributors. Hmmm... can you say "corruption"? How many instances do you recall? Several, myself. Seems I remember the shutdown of the logging industry in the Northwest some years ago, because of an owl. Hmmm... Then theres the farming of fertile California fields and watershed limited because of a (goby?) little minnow. Hmmm...should we grow food or let a few minnows live that serve absolutely no purpose? Hmmm...

RE: the Bundy saga, The purpose for driving off long-established , rightful ranchers from so-called 'federal' land is two-fold: 1) eliminate beef production capacity and land use, effectively denying private property and production, and 2) establishing 'green' solar electricity capacity, which will be mandated for production and sales, replacing more efficient and more reliable alternatives that are currently used. The whole 'tortoise' thing is simply a smokescreen and a means to implement and control the scam. As the regime mandates closure of extant electrical generation, and makes their use unprofitable via regulations and intolerable taxation, we the people get screwed by the huge rise in rates that will be necessary after the 'green' energy turns out to be too expensive and even unreliable, in the long-run. Who profits? Hmmm...seems some communist-Chinese government corporation. Hmmm...I wonder how much $$ they pumped into certain politicians' campaign funds or wallets?
We speak, of course about Sen. Harry Reid [D NV] and his co-conspirators. These guys need to be gagged and gulagged.

Related Example: 'bama closing down our clean coal electricity, which currently makes up 50-60% of our USA total production and consumption. Some are/were new, and were clean, non-polluting plants. What do you suppose happens when our aging and ailing infrastructure loses 1/2 its capacity? Riight--rates will "necessarily skyrocket", according to ze Great Leader. If you are unaware of the scale of this conspiracy to rob and rape us Americans, you better get informed, sheeple. And the reasoning behind these aggressive campaigns is always supported by some near-universally accepted, or highly promoted concept like 'green', conservation, or even outright lies like 'global warming'. Who could be against such things? We are brainwashed to think that we all think the way we are being programmed to think by the propagandists; truth is we are actually smarter and less gullible than 'they' think we are. The Bundy saga proves this.

There is an old saying about defining insanity &/or stupidity; doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results. But here we go  again--Reid gets a propaganda campaign rolling in so-called news shows, in which he labels Bundy and his supporters as 'violent, domestic terrorists'. Ridiculous. From reports I have seen and read, the paramilitary jack-booted thugs brought in by BLM were the aggressors, and assaulted men, tazered people, pushed women, and elderly victims, while attempting to set up 'free speech' areas. He [Reid] gets on and spins a big LIE, expecting we will actually BELIEVE him? Hmmm..he sends BLM armed paramilitary goons aiming automatic rifles at civilian Americans during peaceful protests?--in order to usurp property based upon an insane tortoise-saving campaign (of which many actually were euthanized by the 'savior' agency setup) ? Sound familiar? Americans are not 'terrorists'. People who are supporting liberties and rights are not 'terrorists'. Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, Christians, vets, etc are not 'terrorists'. The truth of the matter is that the TERRORISTS HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR GOVERNMENT...TIME TO TOSS 'EM ALL OUT!

 This Insanity going on today illustrates the excessive use of paramilitary by all the 'alphabet' agencies. Surely, people, this is a major crossing of the line. Waco, Ruby Ridge, and The Boston Marathon martial-law exercises were the modern precursors to the current symptoms of tyranny. The cause resides in Congress and corporate boards of companies which profit from the militarization of America. Time to vaccinate, and inoculate and eliminate these nasty purveyors of the toxic gubment virus...

Coffee Prepping, post-Feces-Fan-Convergence (PFFC)


[ NOTE: TAKEN from a recent comment on
YouTube, at:

H8 to burst a bubble, but it seems most people are way clueless regarding the coffee prep.  Believe me, it won't last that long, if its already ground, and not excessively long stored as beans--but this all depend upon how 'picky' you are. In general, the rule-of thumbs are that beans last longest, and regardless of grind, darker roasts last the shortest. It has to do with the oils...

From a perspective of 'freshness' and best taste, there are 3 tiers of prepping/storage for coffee; daily use, S-term, and L-term.
Class 1) 'Daily', or pre-SHTF: these are reasonably priced cans and containers off the grocery store shelf--fairly cheap, and fresh. I personally can't keep even sealed cans of  ground, roasted coffees more than about 3 months before they noticeably lose their freshness--they start tasting stale or downgraded after that.  Yeah, it is still drinkable, or tolerable, but the fact is that it degrades rapidly, and so, when SHTF, this kind of 'fresh' coffee will become a true luxury of the past, for most of us.

Class 2) Short-term stored coffees can be kept for 1-5 years or so, if they are stored or packed in foil/mylar packing, vacuum-sealed, and/or with O2 absorbers. In general, I have had pretty good luck with, for example, Gevalia coffees, and Lava-esque 'bricks' of compressed, sealed, vacuumed coffees. One could probably extend the lifetime of the class 1 ground coffees (noted above) by using the appropriate sealing measure, or simply buy them in that condition, and pack them away. Many pre-packed versions are fairly cheap, and there are a lot of flavored and specialty grinds [espresso, etc] packed in this way, fairly reasonably priced.

Class 3) for the ultimate Long-term storage 5+ years, one should seriously consider going the freeze-dried route. Yeah, these DO suck, but, there are several positives; lightweight, compact, and REALLY easy to prepare.Llike I suggest, they are better than NO coffee, and, it doesn't really ever go 'bad', if left intactly sealed. Best of all, it takes up the least # space/weight, so is ideal, L-T. Not cheap, though... find a brand you can live with and stock up...Alternatively, one could specially pack some preparations of vac-packed coffees (# 2 class, above) w/ O2 absorbers, inside more permanent storage containers, mitigating light, heat, moisture, rodent, and air degrades best as possible, and hope that they will survive LT...I dunno. Again, this might come down to storage room and other LT variables, as well as $$.

OK,   I generally am hoping/praying that LT storage will not be necessary. I am also pretty picky about my coffee, and so, I'm going predominantly with #2 class type alternatives and packaging, and hoping for the best. I haven't personally done it yet, but I do have a vac-packer, so I am going to get some smaller mylars and stuff and do up a few #10s full...I figure if things haven't stabilized by 5 years or so, we probably won't want or need real LT storage, cuz the feces-fan convergence is at the extreme, and we'll be 'going home' to Jesus' soon enough after, anyways  ;)

Hope this helps someone--God bless  ;)

Squashing the Insolent Buggers

The other day, I started noticing some unwanted occupants (OK, ants) in my coffee 'fixin' zone. For background purposes, this the area where I stock my strategic reserves of both creamer and sweeteners, to be used in my daily coffee intake. Part of the area is used to store my reserves of fixins, and another is used to pour and mix. My twin towers of sugar and sweetener (Splendiferous), alongside my extra-rich creamer, and assorted support items, and such (eg., plastic spoons). For those who are not real coffee consumers, or those that partake lightly, let me assure that the area plays a significant role in supporting my daily energy needs; the key to maintaining a level of 'get-up-n-go' required by my "morning person" persona.

I gotta tell you that it was, initially, not all that disconcerting. After all, I can tolerate a few 'natives' in my zone, and they are welcome to the scraps and waste left behind, perhaps as a consequence of early-morning exuberance. Gotta maintain that coffee flowing into the bloodstream, after all. So, yeah, as long as they didn't threaten my daily routine, and the flow of coffee, everything was copasetic. However, I had underestimated these occupiers' tenacity, as well as their sheer numbers and capabilities. What started as a few scouts and scroungers evolved into a horde of enemies exerting their claim on MY area.

Initially, the response was to smack a few, and wipe the counter clean of the remains and remaining. Soon, however, there were too many for such partial measures. Then it was time to get serious. In response to the apparent takeover, I got out a can of 'bathroom cleaner'--you know, the bubbly kind--and hit them with an airstrike of epic proportions--Shock and awe, man! I left them struggling in the toxic, sickeningly-sweet smelling bubbles for all their peers to discover, lest they ever dare invading 'my' area, or threatening my strategic reserves again. I figured that would do it. Later I came and cleaned up the mess, and noted with satisfaction that there were no more enemies in view. I figured the rout was sufficient to intimidate those pests for an extended period, but I was mistaken.

After a brief lull in activity, the ants returned, albeit in smaller numbers. They began to infiltrate the tray containing the reserve containers. It was soon apparent that these knaves had actually gotten into the containers!  Man, I had no idea how they had managed to get into those; after all, they had snap-close pour spout covers. These usurpers were threatening the flow of fixins, and potentially affecting my everyday existence (lame as it is). Not to mention the economic impact; I had just filled up that sugar, which was to be my reserve for maybe a year (I personally don't use the stuff, so only guests typically use).

To make matters worse, the container invasion was first reported/witnessed by my son, who is kinda squeamish about bugs, germs, black dots in white crystals, and such, so it became imperative that I empty the entire contents and start anew, with a fresh supply. They had decimated my two towers--I even had to go purchase a whole new bag of sugar (man, that stuff is like gold nowadays?). Truth be told, sans the eyewitness, I likely would have simply scooped out the violators and ensured a good seal for future prophylaxis. No such half-measures though; my 'street-cred' would suffer without a crushing victory and total restoration of order--and damn the expense!

After a sufficient build-up of energy, I soon retaliated with another airstrike, this time sparing no expense. It was like hitting a fly with a sledgehammer. Although there was really no contest, I had 'mission accomplished' in no time. Even wiped up their pheramone trails. Yeah, there might be a few 'in the wild' who might someday return for a rematch, but suffice to say it was indeed, a total victory. Now my reserves are safe, the coffee flows freely, and its a bug-free zone. Funny, I have come to love the smell of bathroom cleaner in the morning--it smells like--victory!
