Has The Threat To America Of A Repeat 9-11 Increased Since Hamas Assaulted Israel?

America, Emergency Preparedness, Headlines, Law and Order, World Affairs

Simple answer…yes! They skyrocketed when Biden came into office and renewed the weak, pandering policy towards radical Islam that Obama initiated.

Having so recklessly diminished our security and squandered our sole-superpower role, every rogue nation itching to increase their position in the world has plotted and prepared to take advantage of our having turned in our Sheriff’s badge. Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, NORKO missiles flying over Japan, the invasion of the West by the Third World, and now The Islamic Brotherhood/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran’s move on Israel are all manifestations of Joe’s abrogation of our responsibility to maintain order.

Since 9-11 there have been 34 incidents of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. [1] 139 people were killed in these incidents, 506 people injured. If we were to add what happened on 9-11, of course, the numbers would be much higher: 3132 killed; 9039 injured. The number of incidents, perhaps even the deaths and injuries, on paper, may appear relatively small, but the horror of the Boston Marathon bombing, the mass shooting at an Orlando Nightclub in 2012, the 2015 San Bernardino attack…we all recall the images, overrides the numbers.

With all the illegal aliens Biden has allowed to swarm across our border do you have any doubt that “sleeper cells” of terrorists assembled in countless one-bedroom apartments in chaotic cities but also in bucolic suburban towns are real, not just bad guys in Netflix movies?

Now we’re on the precipice of World War Three. Have any doubts about that? What are the chances of the following playing out over the next few weeks and months?

  1. Israel commits the majority of their resources in Gaza.
  2. Iran gives the signal for Hezbollah to launch a full scale attack from the North.
  3. The U.S., facing diminishing weapons stocks increasingly redirects resources to Israel from Ukraine allowing Russia to prevail and directly threaten NATO.
  4. Iran successfully galvanizes the Arab world, uniting Sunni’s and Shia in Jihad against Israel.
  5. The U.S. is forced to support Israel with air resources.
  6. China, holding backa at the moment, moves on Taiwan.
  7. The U.S. is forced to put tanks, artillery, Patriot missile batteries and even ground troops into Israel.
  8. Israel takes out the Iranian energy infrastructure.
  9. Iran together with other Arab states declares overt war on Israel.
  10. Israel nukes Iran’s uranium enrichment sites.

There are myriad scenarios with these elements being war-gamed in the basement of the Pentagon and elsewhere around the Western intelligence planning centers and they all sound like they were made for MSM prime time, “if it bleeds it leads”, “follow the money” programming. In short, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, and with missiles and bombs flying, tunnel-rats gearing up and moving out, war ships mustering…we’re sitting on a powder keg.

At what point do the mullahs of the Islamic Brotherhood give the signal for those terror cells to simultaneously come out of the woodwork and attack our highly vulnerable soft targets: churches, malls, theaters, stadiums, schools, etc.?

Are you aware that there are nine power substations in American that, if destroyed simultaneously, would knock down the ENTIRE U.S. power grid for from anywhere between three months and a year? And do you know how vulnerable these substations are to conventional small arms attack from 2-3 man squads of terrorists, or to cyber attacks such as the one that brought down the Colonial Pipeline in July 2021? Do you know how relatively easy it is/would be to blow up vans full of explosives in the tunnels or on the bridges leading to Manhattan thus bringing New York to a screeching, panic’ d halt? Many of us have felt the disruption and pain of natural disasters like Sandy, Katrina, Isaias, Maui, etc. but even more of us felt the effects of COVID and of course, 9-11. But have you ever seriously considered the implications of a 3 month + national grid down situation?

With things as precarious as they are in the world right now, with so many of us going about our daily lives as if nothing was going on, with our guard so down… if you were a terrorist wouldn’t you figure this would be a good time to assault America?

I implore my readers to contemplate the situation and PREPARE as best you can for those awful consequences that would attend YOU if what’s going on in the Middle East and elsewhere escalates into full blown kinetic, cyber and psychological war.

Get help and advice from whomever and wherever you trust (I would NOT trust government resources – the cavalry didn’t come over the hill in the knick of time for any of the disasters I mentioned earlier), but remember:

It’s too late to plan and prepare once it starts happening, whatever “it” is!

Head on a swivel, watch your six, STAY VIGILANT!

Saying Inflation Is Abating Is True, But It’s Gaslighting

America, Economy, Finance and Investments, Government, Headlines, Reason

I read a Reuters headline this morning: “Fed’s Goolsbee says fall in US inflation is not just a blip” and the sip of coffee I had just taken got stuck at the top of my throat. My degree in economics was largely useless, but one thing I do remember was the class on this subject because it dealt with why the price of gas I put in my 1970 Pontiac Le Mans was rising from 28 cents (!) a gallon to $.32 to $.35. (Yeah, I’m that old.)

Let’s start with the words, “fall in US inflation”. Sounds like a good thing, right? It is, except that the gaslighting is inherent in trying to create the impression that PRICES of goods and services are falling. Ain’t so. THEY ARE STILL RISING.

Inflation means RISING PRICES. It doesn’t mean HIGHER PRICES. If we are experiencing inflation, it means simply that prices are rising. To say that there is a “fall” in inflation therefore doesn’t mean that prices are coming down but that they’re NOT RISING AS FAST.

It’s a lot like the nonsense that spews forth from politicians’ mouths when they talk about REDUCING SPENDING. They’re lying. They’re not reducing spending at all…they’re reducing the RATE at which spending is increasing. How the hell else do you think we went from discussing budgets and spending levels in the BILLIONS to budgets and spending levels in the TRILLIONS!

What’s more…inflation (i.e. PRICES started rising) kicked in with a vengeance after Biden came into office. The general (rate of) inflation over the four years Trump was in office was 1-2% per year. Prices were still rising, but at a slow pace. Wages rose (you got about a 2-3% raise each of those years right?) and so you were gaining in that your income was rising faster than the cost of things and thus your standard of living was improving!

Biden comes in, whacks energy production, starts throwing money out of helicopters both to our own population as well as the mullahs, and pretty quickly gas doubles (and in some cases triples), a half-gallon of milk hits $6, a dozen eggs as much as $5 and needless to say, our standard of living starts to retract very quickly.

Meanwhile, expenses for employers go up as well leaving less to pay employees, so while INFLATION is raging close to double digits, take home pay remains stagnant. Thanks Joe.

All of this is academic of course. We all feel the effects of rising prices (aka INFLATION) whether we’re well off or just making ends meet.

So when Biden’s minions spew garbage like, paraphrasing the Reuters article, “inflation (what they want you to believe to be PRICES) is coming down”: first, it’s NOT prices that are coming down, they’re just rising at a slower rate, and second, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRICES HAVING RISEN TO THESE RIDICULOUS LEVELS TO START WITH!

Don’t allow ourselves to be gaslighted. Don’t believe what this administration says for a second. Believe your eyes and the fewer greenbacks in your pockets!

Chaos – Ratcheted Up

Emergency Preparedness, Government, Law and Order, World Affairs

In case you haven’t noticed yet, the chaos ushered in by the Biden administration just got worse. The implications of Iran/Hamas’ actions aren’t yet fully known, but they will no doubt be significant. I’ve been asked over the last 48-72 hours for my “take” on the events.

1. First, the global implications. It’s really quite basic. When the sheriff leaves town the bad guys have a field day. In other words, when the cat’s away the mice will play. Stupid aphorisms but, regrettably, true.

When the world’s sole superpower squanders its righteous dominance and relapses into a “can’t we all get along” attitude instead of pointing out right from wrong and acting in support of the former and against the latter…when we don’t enforce sanctions on evil empires…when we sleep with the enemy by continuing to engage in trade as if their malevolent acts are benign…when we don’t use our abilities to covertly and overtly counter the buildup of arms and other offensive capabilities in which they’re engaged… this is what we get.

Now the situation is so bad we may very well be on the brink of world war. I don’t say that lightly. We may actually already be in it. Technology having transformed EVERYTHING, it may not be so much as a boots on the ground conflict but rather a “my drone is bigger than your drone” kind of war.

Everyone is condemning both the U.S. and Israeli intelligence apparatuses for the surprise aspect of the Hamas incursion into Israel. The condemnation is justified, IMHO, due to the abandonment or at least decreasing reliance on HUMINT (human intelligence using people,) and increasing reliance on TECHINT (the use of technology to obtain and analyze intelligence). As I’ve stated often, “Artificial Intelligence” is just that, “ARTIFICIAL”. There is absolutely no substitute for eyeball to eyeball, belly to belly human interaction in developing and using intelligence. Its deficiency is why Hamas was able to pull off what it did.

With a destabilized world, morally bankrupt governments….check that… AMORAL governments, the “mice” will seek to take advantage. China really could invade Taiwan. North Korea really could start lobbing missiles. The Venezuelans really could invade Colombia. The countless enemies that have infiltrated America through our open border(s) really could launch coordinated attacks on malls, on our electrical grid, on soft targets around the country.

And Israel really could nuke Tehran.

In summary, my take is that the world is in a more precarious situation than it has been in my lifetime and we should ALL be preparing for the unthinkable.

2. Domestically, the Left has obviously infested all of our institutions such that “Bizarro-world” is where we now live. Alternatively, it can be said we live in a “post-truth” society. Again, IMHO, each and every one of us, and our families and true friends, need to prepare to become as self-reliant and independent of the government and all our other institutions as possible.

What do I mean by that?

I don’t mean we need to go live “off the grid” in a mountain cabin. I don’t mean we need to prepare for TEOTWAWKI or a complete SHTF situation. I don’t mean we need to start building bomb shelters (yet), but I DO mean we need to be prepared to suffer supply chain disruptions, for civil unrest, for extended power outages, for shortages of all kinds. We need to prepared to take care of our own health in the absence of adequate or effective health care provider, i.e. doctor and hospital support. We may even need to take the education of our children into our own hands.

 It also means we need to start drinking coffee from cups which are labeled, “No More Mister Nice Guy”. And we need to wake up and smell that coffee! In case you haven’t noticed, the Left are really really good at three things: in 1. “community organizing”, 2. in ignoring the rules as “the end justify the means” and 3. getting every one of their ilk to march in lockstep. The first includes beating conservatives and traditionalists to the nursing homes to harvest ballots. The second involves cheating, lying, stealing, engaging in fraudulent tactics. The third involves using high-production-value propaganda and mass-brain-washing techniques to prey on an increasingly dumbed-down, dependent, lemming population.

We have to fight back (and, as much as I hate to say it), use the same tactics. If the rules are that there are no rules, we’ll just have to play by the lack of them as well. If we have to recruit, bribe, cajole legions of young people to knock on doors and solicit votes/ballots, so be it. If we have to show up in great numbers at polling locations to demand, by force if necessary, that vote presentation, counting and tabulation are legitimate, then we must.

Either we wrest back the levers of power by bringing the Sheriff back both on the world stage and here at home as well, or else the chaos will result in the further destruction of everything we hold dear.
