The other day, the Missoulian ran a story about the dysfunction at Warm Springs in an article entitled, 40% of positions open at Montana State Hospital, staff blame administration. After reading the long article, I put out the following comment, “Sounds like Gianforte needs to fire Kyle Fouts, and fast.” The other two comments suggested that we fire Gianforte, or that we never should have hired him in the first place. I feel sorry for those commenters. I wonder how they’ll feel in November 2024 when Gianforte is elected to his second term. Because as of now, there’s no serious challenger to him. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any credible Dem candidates for any of the 2024 statewide offices. Not a one. Helluva bench the Dems have. But hey…at least their executive director is making $6,000 a month in salary. That’s a lot of money…all going to a very corrupt woman, Moffie Funk. Remember how we exposed her corruption of ‘campaign money laundering’ back in 2016? But more than that….we exposed the pay-to-play Dem scheme in this state. Is it any wonder Funk made it ‘to the top?’ Now she gets $6,000 a month. Yes, you can rest easy, knowing she’ll be fine. Meanwhile…how are your household’s finances? Has the grocery budget taken a hit? I bet it has. Who do you blame for that? Biden? Trump? Gianforte? Watch the media or read the commenting section or slog into social media, and you’ll see most sentiment is anti-Gianforte. It’s always going to be like this, no matter what he does. Like his current 12 Days of Giving Tour. I first heard about this yesterday. There was a news story about him donating a third of his salary to the Livingston food bank. Grocery costs are up 6.4% in that county this year, and the food bank says they’re seeing a 300% increase in demand. The thing I like about Gianforte is that he puts his money where his mouth is. He touts the fact that he’s a God-fearing Christian…and he acts like it. He feeds the poor. Of course, it’s easy to do that when you’re a multi-millionaire. But the truth is, we can all do that. I don’t make much, but I’ve given over $600 to various charities this year. Here are 25 Bible verses on giving. Sometimes I don’t realize how much I have until I give some away. One of my favorites is giving to Heifer International this time each year. This is the second year I’ve given them $120. Last year it was so someone could get a goat; this year it’s a sheep. Periodically through the year, they’ll send me an update on the person that received that animal, and how it changed their life. Kind of gets me forgetting about gas and grocery prices. The About Schmidt moment. Gianforte started his 12 Days of Giving Tour on November 30, the day the Christmas tree was put in the capitol building. That first day saw a coat drive, and he and his wife donated some coats for that effort. It might sound inconsequential, but we just had a homeless person die in the Bitterroot last month from the cold. Two dimes and a nickel, the story was called. Might not seem like a lot, but for some…it could be the world. The Livingston food bank was the 6th stop on the governor’s 12-day giving tour. We know he did coats on the first day because of a state press release. The media picked-up on Day 6 because of the large monetary donation, about $50,000. I have no idea what he did on the other days, or what’s upcoming. The media doesn’t seem to care. But I’m interested. So I did something I rarely do…I visited Facebook. The governor has an official page there, and he’s telling us what the media won’t.
I really encourage you to watch the Day 3 video (Dec. 2) on his Facebook page. The line of people he was giving boots to were all older men, in their 50s and 60s. Homeless folks, people that have lost a lot of hope. The prime demographic for suicide. I’m glad our governor is taking time to recognize these folks. Well, there you have it. We have five days left in the governor’s giving tour. I fully expect the media to ignore those days. I’ll try to give you an update when it’s done. Thanks for reading.
I’m stupid.
I thought we were done with this shit. But now it looks like we’re heading for more lockdowns and more restrictions...at least in the blue states. I figure the red states will fight it like hell. And the media will lambast them. We saw this earlier in the year with Florida and DeSantis. Even though covid cases in the US are pretty much static, around 70,000 a day, in Florida cases have gone way down, around 1,200 a day. That’s why the media doesn’t talk about Florida anymore. It doesn’t fit their Big-Pharma-funded narrative. I’m still baffled that for Dems, Big Pharma was a bad guy just a couple years ago. Now they’re the good guy? Strange times. I originally started writing this bit on Sunday, expecting a real interesting start to the market week on Wall Street. I couldn’t wait to see how the markets would react to this new variant. Well, seems the markets don’t really care. After the big Friday sell-off, the Dow has reclaimed most of its losses. The market seems to be rip-roaring today. Personally, I hope the whole shithouse goes up in flames. I’d love to see a few-thousand point drop. Instead, by the time the week is over, the greedsters will probably send the Dow skyrocketing, wiping out Friday’s losses while aiming for a new, all-time high. I’m very interested in the bond markets, with 10-year yields down to 1.4%. With rates that low, why even invest? Most aren’t - they just keep plowing it into the markets, either stocks or cryptos. And let’s not forget how hard the hedge funds got hit last week, losing anywhere from 1% to 1.5% of their value. Might not sound like a lot, until you realize that equals tons of money. What happened? Moderna’s stock shot-up, effectively wiping-out all the short positions those hedge funds held. In other words, they were betting on that stock to go down. It was a good bet. The stock was at an all time high of $450 in September, before falling to its current price of around $300. Before the pandemic started, the stock was worth $19. Then omni came. Hedgies got hammered. And let’s not forget the markets and the corporate media are completely ignoring the 125,000 Russian troops on Ukraine’s border, or half its army. Nope, nothing to see here! God...what a house of cards our economy is! My favorite is inflation, and this silly idea that it’s transitory. Even better is how the Biden regime blames average Americans for this problem, saying we’re buying too much. At least Jerome Powell finally admitted the transitory idea was complete bullshit. I wonder what else the powerful elite are telling us is bullshit. So how do we solve this inflationary problem? I’d suggest looking back at how they did so in the 70s. Back then, interest rates were eventually raised to 22%. I would love to see that, as I have lots of money in savings, and would like to earn that kind of interest. Most homeowners would hate it, as they’d have to pay a lot more each month to service their mortgage. Same with car loans and credit cards - anyone holding those will be screwed. Governments would also hate it, as they’d pay more interest on their debt. State governments like Illinois and New Jersey would be wiped-out. NBC tells us the huge interest rate hikes of the 70s and 80s “also crunched American manufacturing, farming and real estate but led the way to two decades of expansion.” Common Missoulians desperately need a ‘real estate crunch.’ There’s nowhere to live right now, but a huge uptick in interest rates would cost many their homes, as they have no savings and huge loads of debt. Just last night, I was looking at available rentals in Missoula. I was astounded to see this listing: $900 for a one-bedroom. That sounds reasonable, considering our terrible market, but what caught my eye was that the potential renter's monthly income has to be 3.5x what the rent is...meaning $3,600 a month. They'd have to make over $20 an hour for the privilege of living in those 500-square-feet. So the person living in this 1-bedroom has to make at least $43,000 a year to live in this small apartment...a place that was probably going to someone making half that or less just a year or two ago. Clearly, this apartment is not meant for common workers in the service industry. I’m pretty sure a student can’t afford it. I guess it’s for young professionals from out-of-state, maybe some healthcare workers...I dunno. I think it’s sad. On one site, I saw just 10 listings for 1-bedroom apartments, the cheapest being $1,095. Of course, any interest rate hike of even a few percent would crash our flimsy economy in days, everyone knows it. It’s an interesting predicament: we’re afraid to change what we’re doing because we think it’ll kill us quickly, but our current way of doing things is killing us slowly. But aside from raising interest rates into the double-digits...how else are we going to get rid of inflation? I'm all ears.
Note: I wrote this as a letter-to-the-editor, submitted it to the Missoulian, but got no response.
Last month, the City of Helena brought back their Urban Deer Survey after a two-year hiatus. Police officers actually did the tally, simply by driving around town and counting the deer they saw. They then gave those results to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to tally. The goal was to determine how many deer lived in the city limits, and if that exceeded the 25 deer per square mile limit the city set for itself. The results of that study are not out yet. I already know what Helena will do if they have too many deer - they’ll cull the herd. They do this by trapping and humanely euthanizing. The meat is then donated to local food banks. In 2008, Helena culled 50 deer in town this way. I urge the City of Missoula to consider doing the same. We have way too many deer in town, including huge bucks with large sets of antlers. This is a danger to kids at bus stops, walkers, drivers, and house pets. Missoula, please manage your wildlife population. The first is mine, the second is Martin Kidston’s from last week. Quite similar, aren’t they? What are we looking at? Our city going down the tubes. The tulip bubble. The everything bubble. Let them eat cake. Look at my freezer full of ice cream. Quite divorced from reality, aren’t they? No - they’re divorced from your reality. They have nothing in common with you, none whatsoever. You’re a nobody. You’re a cancer on their lifestyle. Funny. They wouldn't have that lifestyle if it wasn’t for us, the common peons propping up this country on a daily basis. Most Americans work 350 days a year or more. Pelosi works just 146 days a year. It’s because she’s special, entitled, important. You’re not...and she knows it. I cannot wait until these people get what’s coming to ‘em. It’s coming real fast. Seems pretty certain the Senate will pass some form of the Build Back Better plan. It won’t be $2.7 trillion...but I suspect it’ll be $1.5, perhaps even $1.9. This is the Baby Boomers’ final gift to the younger generations. A generation of excess is going to lead to one of the greatest economic depressions we’ve ever seen. When this new spending bill passes on the heels of the old (just a week ago), we’re going to see inflation skyrocket. Come January and the vax mandates, we’ll see massive layoffs, results in huge worker shortages and a complete collapse of our economy. The housing bubble burst will be catostraphic for many. For people like me, it's the only path to home ownership...the greedy kicked out in favor of the savers. Democrats know they can’t win in ‘22, so they’ll use the ‘20 playbook to rig the elections, or simply suspend them. How would that happen? Seems smallpox is a likely candidate. Why did a Big Pharma company have vials of that when by law, only the CDC can? Corruption. Our government and our society is rotten to the core. Our culture isn’t far behind. The powerful elite want it this way. They want us to divide, and separate, and fight amongst ourselves. They’re deathly afraid that, one day, we might realize the truth. And turn against them. They have the guns...but we have the numbers. Please, stock up on canned food now. Buy heating oil. Get blankets, sweaters...anything that’ll keep you warm. God gave us a full-blood-moon-eclipse on Friday for a reason. Wake up. If you weren’t sure what the difference between a Democrat and a Republican in the White House is...you do now, or at least your pocketbook does. This time last year...compared to now:
Furniture is up 11%, and appliances 7%...if you can find them. Have you talked to people trying to buy a new stove or refrigerator? The wait times are typically 8 months to a year out. Those are Soviet-Russia wait times....happening here, in America. This is what happens when Democrats take power nationally. And then they laugh at the problem; they laugh at us. Maybe it is all just transitory...but that doesn’t lessen the hurt we feel now. The recent 5.9% increase to Social Security payments is completely wiped-out by the 6.2% consumer price index increase we saw last month. Completely wiped-out and then some. And it’s only going to get worse. Do you think the corporate media will report on the seniors losing their homes because they can’t make the payments? I don’t, not for one second. We haven’t seen consumer prices go up this much since 1991. Didn’t work out too well for Bush, did it? A recent ABC poll showed Republicans doing better going into the midterms than at any other point since 1981. 40 years. As it stands now, Democrats are screwed. The careers of both Schumer and Pelosi will be over, and both will likely announce their plans to ‘not run again’ shortly thereafter. Biden will be relegated to a single term, with his last two years being lame-duck. Kamala will begin kissing the ass of every large corporation in the world, hoping to get on at least one board. Most governorships and state legislatures will go red. But none of that will stop the price hikes, the supply woes, the Biden recession. I think 2022-2024 will be so bad that Dems won’t get elected again for a generation, much like what happened after Hoover. Sadly, many in the country actually support the changes we see. Some say they’re beneficial, just...equitable. And it’s the things that we don’t even think about anymore that get me especially riled.
How the hell is our shaky house-of-cards-of-a-country even still standing? If masks worked...why are people still getting sick?
If the vaccine worked...why are people still getting sick? By golly...it took over a year. For my ‘Defend the Police’ bumper sticker to become defaced. At work last weekend, someone took a Sharpie to it...crossing out the ‘defend’ portion and writing in ‘fuck’ over it. ‘Fuck the police’ was that person’s message...on my car. Thankfully, Trump anticipated this. It’s why his campaign sent me two of each bumper sticker when I ordered them from him back in the summer of 2020. So I got home from work that night, went into my garage, rummaged around, and found the replacement. Now my car says ‘Defend the Police’ again. But I have to be honest...I’m getting kind of tired of that. I’m seriously thinking of replacing that sticker next week. I have a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ bumper sticker coming in the mail. Something tells me I’d be better putting that on my front bumper. I mean...it’s a real love it or hate it kind of sticker. It’s the kind of sticker that doesn’t get defaced...it gets your tail light broken out. Such are the times we live in. We hate each other, with a passion. People that disagreed used to be able to at least civilly discuss other matters. Alas, those times are long gone. I don’t know when the civil war is gonna start. I’m actually not sure anymore that it will. I think the mass die-offs we’ll see next year might preclude it. Or it could be the cause. Once again, I’ll sign-off by encouraging you to stock up on canned food. Maybe buy a generator if you can. Perhaps stockpile a few extra cans of gasoline in your garage if you can. Get sweaters and blankets. If nothing else, you can layer-up against the cold. It just might save your life. The Biden winter is coming. Get ready for it. Have you heard about Haiti lately? No? Funny. I mean...the nation is 95% black. You’d think our woke, corporate media here in America would be falling all over themselves to highlight their plight. But they’re not. Why is that? I think it’s because the powers-that-be don’t want you to know what’s coming to America starting in just a couple months. Jen Psaki ain’t gonna tell you this - none of the talking heads will. She’s doubled-jabbed...but still got covid. Let’s not talk about that. Currently, the U.S. State Department is evacuating the embassy and encouraging all Americans to leave the country. The UN is encouraging their on-the-ground troops to stock-up with two weeks of food, water and other essentials. It’s because the gangs control the country now. It’s been four months since their president was killed, since the country descended into anarchy. It’s now been 28 days since the 17 Christians were kidnapped in Haiti, held for $1 million ransom each. Many are children. The corporate media in America refuses to talk about this story. Jen Psaki won't mention it. Why? Good question. A black pastor was attacked in the country on Saturday, and one of his children was killed. Currently the country has widespread fuel shortages, which will soon translate into cooking fuel shortages, and eventually starvation. Most of the world is ignoring this. The elite are busy with the climate at thier private club in Scotland. They've instructed their minions in the media to ignore this story. And for good reason. They don’t want to report on the Third World problems that will soon be afflicting the more affluent nations.
The American government? They tell us to go out and spend, spend, spend. Most Americans are too stupid to do anything different. Are you one of them? Stock up now. It doesn’t have to be drastic. Buy a few extra cans of food each time you go to the store. Dust off those old blankets in the garage. Think about what you’d do without power for a week, or longer...how you’d stay warm, how you’d cook food, how you’d survive the cold winter that’s coming. Most have no idea what’s coming. Don’t be one of them. God, I hope I’m wrong. Edwin Deagle was Undersecretary of the Air Force under President Bill Clinton. He later became Assistant to the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense in 1994. At one time, he was listed as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Many years later, he started Deagle.com, a sort of aggregate site for world statistics that often relied on defense and intelligence agency reports. A few months back, a big stir happened on the internet when that site's published population predictions for the year 2025 - which came out in 2015 - mysteriously vanished from the site. Here’s a saved screenshot from that site, as well as a table someone else put together: They predict America’s population will fall by 70% by then.
One reason many claim the site is predicting this is because of the vaccines, with 59% of the American population already fully vaxxed. Many have gotten sick from the vaccines, with over 850,000 adverse reactions...that have been reported. Lots have permanent problems from them while over 18,000 have died. Now we’re doing boosters and shots for kids. My wife took a booster yesterday and is now home sick. She’s getting my son the shot on Saturday. There’s nothing I can do to stop this. How long will they have left to live, I wonder? Another reason the site is predicting such drastic population losses is the impending war with China, which will likely see the widespread use of biological weapons, specifically bacterial warfare. With around 70% of the American population overweight, such a war would decimate us, possibly wiping out 70% of the population. This is the most favored form of warfare, and we’ll see it explode in future conflicts. It doesn’t destroy material infrastructure. It can be designed to go after certain racial groups. Bioweapons are cheap and easy to produce. They don’t need sophisticated delivery systems. Finally, there’s plausible deniability. But let’s be honest - China doesn’t really need to do anything but wait. America is currently destroying itself from within. At the same time, the site is also predicting military spending will fall from $726 billion to $8 billion. GDP per capita is expected to fall from $52,000 to $13,000. Gross Domestic Product will go from $19 trillion to $2.4 trillion. Deagle offers this disclaimer to their report: “The collapse of the Western financial system – and ultimately the Western civilization – has been the major driver in the forecast along with a confluence of crisis with a devastating outcome. As COVID has proven Western societies embracing multiculturalism and extreme liberalism are unable to deal with any real hardship.” Most in the cities couldn’t survive a week if the supply chains shut down. 83% of the US population lives in urban areas. Whoever put up the Georgia Guidestones wants to see such a population reduction. Rich tycoons like Bill Gates and Ted Turner have publicly stated that substantial population reduction is in the best interests of the planet. Deagle himself was a director for the Rockefeller Foundation, a group that supports eugenics. So enjoy these next 3 or so years. They might be all you’ve got left. |
