I am 51 years old, and despite witnessing decades of transition, problems, and other challenges in this nation, I have never seen it more divided. I am not running for POTUS, nor am I implying that here. Today, I simply want to point out that many of the problems both parties claim are difficult to fix are not as complex as they seem. I am not a super genius. As you know, I refer to myself as a JERK and a “redneck hippy duck farmer.” That’s kind of my point today. If a guy who barely made it through high … Continue reading →

I know it seems crazy to even say the word fall right now, but now is the time to start planning for the fall and winter phase of your garden. Keep in mind the fall equinox is Sept. 23rd this year. That is only 33 days away and things do begin to really shift after the solstice.

I originally spoke about how we were wound up perfectly for a false recovery that would lead to cripling inflation and economic destruction in 2009. March 9th, 2009 to be exact.

People often expect the collapse of society and the Western empire to occur as a single, dramatic event. One moment, everything is great; then, BOOM, it all falls apart in one fell swoop. This could be due to nuclear Armageddon, total financial implosion, a truly deadly pandemic, or anything else.

More often, collapse is akin to a sci-fi scenario where a ship enters the event horizon of a black hole. The … Continue reading →

I was recently listening to Michael Saylors amazing presentation from BTC Prague. Michael was at his finest, leading me to an episode of The Survival Podcast and The Bitcoin Breakout.
