A Trans Conservative?

10/11/2022

Terminology In the Era of Woke-Speak
I suppose that we have all been indoctrinated with enough woke-speak to know that a biological male who becomes a 'woman' is to be respectfully called a trans woman.

In the spirit of acceptance and tolerance, I suggest that a Democrat who decides to become Conservative should be referred to as a Trans Conservative.

Please note, there is a spectrum and we must be careful to not mis-trans someone. For example, if someone went a step further and joins the Republican Party then they should be called a Trans Republican and (I gasp in horror) they might even become a Trans MAGA.

Has Tulsi Transitioned?
Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat Congresswoman from Hawaii and a member of the WEF Young Global Leaders, has been rebranding herself this year. In June she put out a tweet supporting a Supreme Court decision defending the 2nd Amendment in New York State. (Click the Pic)

Last week she put out a video highlighting her firearms training at The Tactical Games. (As a matter of full disclosure, Tulsi is a Lt Colonel in the Army reserve and served two tours in the Middle East. She is no stranger to firearms). The video is only 38 seconds...

Tulsi Leaves The Democrat Party
Today, during her introduction of The Tulsi Gabbard Show, she announced that she is leaving the Democrat Party.

Some people are already speculating that she is a 'spoiler' who will siphon votes away from Republicans. There is a serious flaw in this theory... she isn't running for anything.

It's much more likely that this bombshell announcement is just a great way to get her new YT channel to go viral. There have been more than 2.6 Million views in just 4 hours.

In any case, I believe that she has helped Conservatives by making this announcement with just three weeks to the mid-terms. So... aloha and thanks, Tulsi.

Click the pic to watch her shred the Democrat Party. It is definitely worth the watch.

If you'd like to watch the entire show, it is linked below. The comments (mostly from Progressives) are encouraging.

Civilization At The Abyss

10/11/2022

Cool title, huh??

Well, I just published Clown World a couple of days ago and this just can't wait another two weeks.

The absurdity of the Progressive Socialist mind is simply breathtaking. AND, people actually vote for this shit!

A couple of days ago (Oct 08) British Home Secretary Suella Braverman vowed a zero tolerance crack down on ... knife possession. In the (once mighty) British Empire possessing a knife is a felony with a maximum sentence of up to four years in prison. (click the pic)

Judge Nic Madge, an esteemed Brit legal scholar, questions whether common people have a legitimate need for pointy knives. He states "Kitchens contain lethal knives which are potential murder weapons" and went on to say only "Butchers and fishmongers [need pointy knives], but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an 8′ or 10′ knife? Rarely, if at all,’ www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-44278556

Judge Nic Madge proposes that domestic chefs (i.e. woke-speak for commoners) should only be allowed to own rounded knives.

Of course, he IS a legal 'expert' so his logic, regarding my legitimate needs. is beyond question. I ask you... How often, if at all, would I, a mere domestic chef, ever have a legitimate need for a chef's knife?

Judge Madge would surely put me in prison for a very long time for assaulting vegetables with a pointy knife!! Surely such activities should be restricted to licensed, trusted professionals (like fishmongers).

Lethal Assault Knives In the neoTerra Kitchen...
... and I am not a licensed fishmonger

Weapons Of Mass Construction
Of course knives (and other pointy objects) can be used as weapons. But many other common objects can also be used as weapons. Let's take a look at some the items the courageous Bobbies have confiscated under the new rules.... like these Weapons Of Mass Construction.

Outstanding work, Lads... simply outstanding. This is not parody... click the pic.

Everything Is A Potential Weapon
If my kitchen knife drawer should be regulated by the enlightened government, what about all the other 'deadly' things I own? I am not a licensed carpenter... how is it that I have a little tack hammer, a larger 16 oz hammer, a 22 oz framing hammer, and (gasp) a big-ass sledge hammer? OMG I have a veritable arsenal of potentially lethal hammers!!

To make matters much worse for me, I also possess a semi-automatic Pasload nail gun that takes large capacity nail strips. What possible need could a home-owner have for such serious nail power??

Fortunately, the Progressive insanity hasn't totally destroyed America... yet. I believe the 2nd Amendment still states

"the right to keep and prepare vegetables shall not be infringed".
'The right to keep wood and cut wood shall not be infringed"

Of course I'm being facetious. Actually, I think all of this falls under a more encompassing, intrinsic, God-given Right.

The right to use tools, the right to use imagination, the right to use your own initiative in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

I think that might become the 2nd Amendment in the neoTerran Constitution. It will certainly be a theme in future posts.

I now leave y'all with a closing thought... This (perhaps cis-gender male) person depicted below is a threat to the Global Elites who want you to be fearful and dependent. To them self-sufficiency is terrorism. Hide the WomenX and ChildrenX from this toxic masculinity!

Sustaining Liberty - Plural Marriage

9/27/2022

I'm not sure if this should be a topic of Sustaining Liberty or Clown World... but here it is. I will attempt to put a humorous twist on a sad development.

Folks, I honestly don't have a position on polygamy or poly-amorous relationships. I'm not saintly or such... I just don't think I could make the effort to give happiness to two (or more) women when it is so much easier to accept continuous disappointment from one. LOL

Hmmm, on the other hand... maybe multiple females would keep each other in line and leave me alone! Maybe the Lion King is a genius.. But he looks tired... maybe from hunting all day to feed his women... Ha, Ha, They feed him. I may have a theory on why he's tired. LOL

OK, getting serious for a moment, this is a story of Progressive hypocrisy.

The Past
The Church of Latter Day Saints (aka The Mormons, aka LDS). Allowed polygamy as an aspect of their religion. This irritated Easterners for some reason and in 1862 the US Congress passed the Morrill Act, which prohibited plural marriage. The law was never enforced due to the Reconstruction and the impracticality of attempting to control people so far away.

Polygamy remained (legally) a 3rd degree felony in Utah until 2020 when it was reduced to a misdemeanor.

The Present
OK.. with the historical context in place please enjoy the woke, Progressive twist.

A judge in New York has just ruled that polyamorous relationships - in this particular court case a 3-person unit living together in an apartment - are entitled to the same legal protection as opposite-sex or same-sex 2-person marriages.

In other words, there can now be legal marriages of three or more persons... and it may be any combination of the 87 possible genders. The Court, mocking conservatives, says

"American conservatism has long mourned the proliferation of single parents, but, if two parents are better than one, why are three parents worse?"

Solid legal logic... wouldn't you say??... I disagree.

I will answer the snarky comment from the dishonorable Judge... three (or more) parents are indeed worse if the State cannot determine biological lineage of children. When the four or five (or more) parents of vague gender adopt and transition a couple of kids... who gets the kids when the relationship implodes? If none of them are the biological parents how do the courts untangle the Gordian Knot?

A 'family' is not about your sexual amusement... a family is about the next generation.

Hypocrisy
Again, I make no moral judgement, but the elite dishonesty is sickening. The Mormons have been demonized for 150 years for practicing polygamy (in a strict religious setting, btw). And now those same Progressive elites want to legitimize and normalize their urban promiscuous freak shows.

Perhaps I'm over-reacting but the pic on the left does not make me think of the pic on the right.

Conclusion
In closing, American (mostly urban) society is in decline and granting legal status to orgies and promiscuity is just another step toward disintegration.

I honestly don't know if I should be irritated or if I should just make some popcorn and wait for the legal shitshows to begin on reality TV. Here are my predictions for Sitcoms/Dramas of the (very near) future. (I iz a prophet, after all... it's a small world, after all)

Father Knows Best -> Fathers Know Best (Starring Pete and Chastain)
Leave It To Beaver -> Too Much Beaver (Self explanatory. BIG Beaver, Hilarious)
With Six You Get Eggroll -> With Six You Get Gonorrhea (A fight for medical equality)
Little House on The Prairie -> Little Commune In The CHAZ (Growing grubs in boxes. Heroic)
Paladin -> Have Vibrator, Will Travel (Might be too edgy... nah go with it)
Cinderella -> Darn it Disney already made a woke version.. can't get ahead
My Three Sons -> Sorry guys... I'm not even gonna touch this one...

As a pop-quiz, and a future prestigious career opportunity, if you can figure out the chart below (and lots of additional charts with more 'partners') then you WILL be a candidate for the Supreme Court in 2030.

You will NOT need a Law Degree to qualify for the Supreme Court (in the future)... The new neoTerra University of Equity Studies will be offering an advanced degree in Moral Superiority and Justification Best of all, the Gov will pay for it!! Enroll Now!! Classes for the Fall Semester are filling up fast!!

Sustaining Liberty - Italy Rising

9/27/2022

As you may already know, conservative Giorgia Meloni swept the Italian elections and has become Italy's new Prime Minister.

She was overwhelming elected by the people of Italy in spite of serious threats from European Union (EU) President Ursula Von der Leyen. "We will see the result of the vote in Italy. If things go in a difficult direction, we have tools, as in the case of Poland and Hungary."

As a bit of background, Meloni is a staunch conservative running on a platform of Family - Country - Freedom. She is a powerful speaker. The Progressive media is already characterizing her as worse than Mussolini!

Watch the following vid and judge for yourself (click the pic). I wish she could run here in the US!

Her quote from Chesterton at the end of this short speech is brilliant. I had never heard of Chesterton (shame on our education system and shame on me). He wrote this more than 100 years ago... and we find ourselves here today.

'Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four.' Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.'"

There is hope for Italy!

Let us hope that Americans will vote for Family-Country-Freedom in November.

Sustaining Liberty - The End of Self Defense

9/15/2022

The following story is from Progressive, enlightened Denmark. However, it is a warning of what's coming to America if we allow the Democrats to continue their assault on the Constitution.

A 17 year-old woman used pepper spray to repel a rapist who assaulted her, knocked her to the ground and tried ripping her clothes off. Please note that pepper spray is non-lethal and the pain is serious but very short duration.

The attack occurred near a 'migrant asylum' but we will probably never know if the attacker was a migrant. You see, the police have not apprehended a suspect.

The young woman, however, is being charged for the crime of defending herself since pepper spray is illegal in Denmark! The fine is small (about $75) but it is still an assault on a person's right to defend themselves from harm.

First they take your guns, then they take away any possibility of defending yourself (body armor will be next.. then knives... then pepper spray). When you are completely helpless, then they will take away all your other rights.

Self defense is not merely some right granted by government... it is innate behavior to all living things. All animals will flee or fight to survive.

The overpowering instinct to survive has been understood since the very dawn of humanity. It was acknowledged and codified by Hammurabi almost 4,000 years ago. When the right of self defense is forfeit then civilization itself has come to an end.

Europe is failing and the Democrats are doing everything they can to bring failure to America.

Democrat Leadership - Urban Utopia

9/10/2022

Warning: This is a disturbing segment with a lot of disturbing imagery.

Last month I wrote about how the police in many cities are no longer defending property rights. Homeless people are allowed to squat in people's yards and driveways and the police do nothing. neoterra.us/blog/sustaining-liberty-the-end-of-private-property-part-2

This compelled me to take a look at how severe the urban homeless camps have become.

Homelessness and vagrancy have been chronic problems for many, many years.... so I'm not blaming Joe for the problem. However, the flood of unskilled, uneducated illegals and the torrent of fentanyl and opioids flowing across the southern border have made the situation dramatically worse.

I'm also angry that Biden and his Cabinet of Clowns lie about how great the economy is doing, demonize Conservatives and do nothing to address the crime and decline in Democrat-run cities. FJB.

Philadelphia

Los Angeles

San Francisco
Even the Democrat Mayor claims that fentanyl is making everything worse. Well, she did defund the police 'to reduce crime'.

Portland
Ha, Ha. Oregon decriminalized hard drugs shortly after Biden took office. PBS thinks it's a great idea. How's that working out folks?? www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/oregon-1st-state-to-decriminalize-possession-of-hard-drugs

Enough
I could go on and on. The simple FACT is that America is in serious decline because of Democrat Leadership and Democrat policies. We must take the House and the Senate in November to stop the madness.

Fentanyl and opioid deaths have soared since Joe took office. The number of deaths in the United States topped 100,00 per year for the first time in history in 2021. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year-olds and exceeds suicide and traffic accidents. www.dea.gov/stories/2022/2022-02/2022-02-16/fentanyl-deaths-climbing-dea-washington-continues-fight

Biden Declares WAR - On America

9/9/2022

On Thursday, September 1st, 2022, Joe Biden took the stage at Independence Hall, the birthplace of the United States. With a blood red background, flanked by Military Guards, he delivered the most divisive and hate filled speech I have ever heard from any President (and I have heard every President going back 50 years).

A week earlier, Joe declared that Conservatives are dangerous 'Semi-fascists'. This basically condones ANTIFA and BLM violence against any and all Conservatives.

Even more outrageous, Progressive media and 'scholars' are applauding the 'semi-fascist' hate.

CNN political analyst and PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López asserted that academics not only condone the terminology, but have been wanting Biden to use it for some time, saying, "There’s a lot of historical lineage there and scholars have been waiting for the current President Biden to use those terms"

Following the 'Semi-fascist' indictment, his Press Secretary literally shredded the First Amendment by stating:

Translation: If you disagree with the Democrat Party you are an extremist.
(Don't just take my word, click the pic and here her say it)

On Thursday Joe ramped his divisive rhetoric all the way up to 11.. He quite literally suggested violence against the 80 million Conservatives. I know you can't believe Joe would literally imitate Adolph Hitler... so here ya go: (The quotes in green are directly from Joe's speech) Click the pic to read the transcript from the official White House page.

From the leader of the Democrat Party who supports ANTIFA, BLM and truly violent extremist groups:

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic"
“MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger, they thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies.”

Here is a direct quote from the leader of the Democrat Party which ignores immigration law, defunded the police, and releases violent dangerous criminals back onto the streets.

“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people."

From the party that condoned and encouraged arson, looting and even murder:

So I want to say this plain and simple: There is no place for political violence in America. Period. None. Ever. (Applause.)

Ever since I could first vote, I have viewed Lyndon Johnson as the worst, most vile President of my lifetime. On Thursday, Septmber 1st, 2022 Joe Biden now has top honors. FJB

The Great Reset - Europe Is So Screwed Part 2

8/25/2022

Recap
In the previous segment (two days ago) I talked about the unfolding energy crisis in Europe. They are blaming the situation on Putin but the historical evidence clearly shows that the crisis has been created by 'Green' leaders (who answer to the WEF) and was triggered by President Biden months prior to the war in Ukraine.

Inflation is soaring for both food and energy. People are being forced to choose between heating and eating... and they are NOT happy.

Sidebar - People in the United States are also suffering but inflation in Europe, particularly energy, is MUCH worse than here.

I speculated that the 'Greens' could be forced out of office as the continent scrambles for energy. Most of the 'Greens' are stooges of the WEF, so Klaus Schwab might lose influence.

However, the Climate Change hoax was probably never a real agenda... perhaps it was always a ploy to orchestrate an economic collapse and trigger The Great Reset.

I had planned to write a segment about the simultaneous mega-drought in Europe today, but there is more breaking news on the energy front.

Sounding The Alarm
Yesterday French President Macron and Belgian Prime Minister De Croo both made speeches telling the public that they must be prepared to endure serous hardship to preserve freedom and democracy. It is interesting to note that they are pivoting away from the Climate Change narrative and framing the rolling economic disaster as a righteous fight for democracy (as if Ukraine was ever really a democracy).

Both men are staunch 'Greens', are members of the WEF Young Global Leaders and are protegees of Klaus.

Let's see what they had to say.

Emmanuel Macron - President of France
Speaking to the French Cabinet yesterday (August 24th). This is truly scary shit!

He doesn't say... "we have to tighten our belts for the next 6-12 months" nope, he says this is the end of the era of abundance.

That sounds pretty permanent and it totally sounds like The Great Reset to me. The picture is from his bio at the WEF.

This is the direct quote (click pic for source):

“What we are currently living through is a kind of major tipping point or a great upheaval …

we are living the end of what could have seemed an era of abundance …

the end of the abundance of products of technologies that seemed always available …

the end of the abundance of land and materials including water,”

Well, Klaus keeps telling us we will own nothing, we will eat bugs, we will have no privacy -- and we WILL be happy.... and Macron is one of his stooges.

Alexander De Croo - Belgian Prime Minister
Speaking to the Belgian news media. Not quite as scary as Macron... the crisis will only last ten years! As with Macron, the picture is from his WEF bio.

Here's the quote (click the pic for source):

"The coming 5 to 10 years will be difficult.

Certain sectors are finding it very difficult to cope with high energy prices. We are following this closely, but we need to show transparency.

The coming months will be difficult, the coming winters will be difficult.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. It it turns out better than we feared, it will have been a good thing that we at least were prepared”.

Another Climate Hysterian indoctrinated by Klaus.

Conclusion
Europe Is So Screwed.

There is no reason for the United States to suffer the same economic disaster as Europe.

The US is the world's largest producer of both petroleum and natural gas... in a world suffering from an energy crisis
The US has the most productive farmland in the world... in a world facing imminent food shortages
The Great Lakes contain about 21% of the entire supply of fresh water on the planet.
The US has the most advanced military in a world on the brink of famine and conflict.

We must vote the Democrat Party out in November or they will take us down the same Road To Serfdom.

DON'T PANIC. DO VOTE.

Sustaining Liberty - The BEST Way To Cheat

8/24/2022

The United States Census Bureau just admitted that they totally screwed up the 2020 census. I am not making this up... here is the link to their official website. www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/05/2020-census-undercount-overcount-rates-by-state.html

Errors occur in any normal universe but they tend to average out. However, in the case of the 2020 census (which has enormous political and economic consequences) all but one of the over counted states is 'Blue' and all but one of the under counted states is 'Red'. I wonder how 14 states are seriously miscounted and ALL of the errors favor the Democrat Party. It seems stinky to me.

This isn't some insignificant statistical error. By Law, the Census determines house seats, electoral college votes and state welfare payments for the next 10 years. And Blue states received a huge, undeserved windfall.

These errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College. It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn’t deserve.

These errors also mean Billions in federal funds will be misallocated. Funding for many federal programs is distributed to the states based on population. Overcounted states (Blue) will now receive a larger share of federal funds than they are entitled to, at the expense of the undercounted (Red) states.

Unfortunately, the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment provide no remedy to correct this problem. And it would be very difficult to devise an acceptable remedy this far after the fact. It seems that the Democrats get to shit on the rest of the country for another 10 years.

The Democrat Party has pulled-off the scam of the decade. We must vote them out of Congress and prosecute the Census Bureau for their partisan negligence.

Location, Location, Location - Part 2

8/20/2022

I hope y'all got a laugh from my previous post warning urbanites to stay away from Eden. Seriously:

If ya don't like blue-grass, stay away
If you're afraid of mysterious banjo music, stay away
If ya don't like guns (lots of guns), stay away
Chainsaws... well, just stay away.

I must admit that moving to the mountains has had serious consequences. Honestly, the minute I traded my high-status Mercedes for a practical pickup-truck, my penis immediately shrank by 50%. AND, when I bought a chainsaw so I could cut my own firewood... it almost disappeared.

Honestly ladies, the most manly men live in their Mom's basement, drink soy lattes and lease prestigious European cars.

You have been warned!

Recap
In the previous Location, Location, Location post (neoterra.us/blog/the-rational-prepper-location-location-location) I talked about avoiding Threats associated with Natural Disasters. Next, we should consider avoiding man-made Threats (Perhaps we should call these Hazards rather than Threats).

In this segment I will again show some maps (and resources) so you can visualize the Hazards.

Cities
Note that I'm not going to talk about living in cities. It's impossible to establish a self-sufficient lifestyle in any urban area (though it might be possible in the suburbs if you own enough land).

Spiraling crime, congestion, rotting infrastructure, escalating debt and crushing taxes make urban living fundamentally unsustainable. (Please note, if you have a great, high-paying job then urban life can be very enjoyable... but it isn't sustainable).

Man-Made Hazards
OK... so you have made the decision to get out of the city. There are a variety of man-made Hazards in rural America... these are primarily related to pollution or environmental degradation. Let's avoid Hazards that could impact your health or your property. These include:

Toxic waste
Nuclear power plants
Strip mining / Open pit mining
Industrial Livestock Production

Toxic Waste
The United States has made huge strides to reduce air and water pollution over the past 60 years, but there is still a lot of toxic waste buried around the country. The worst sites are the EPA Superfund sites shown on the following map. The worst Threat from these sites is polluted ground water (recall that you will need a well if you're trying to be somewhat self-sufficient).

Clearly, the highest concentration is in the industrial Northeast, the Rust-belt and on the West Coast. However, there are sites throughout the country. To search for sites in your area of interest, click the pic and go to the EPA Superfund Priorities List.

As mentioned, the main Threat from Toxic dumps is pollution of the ground water. If pollution gets into an aquifer it can travel for miles so do your homework. Better yet, buy property in the mountains above the water table. The higher you go in a watershed, the better the water... and water is life.

Note that the EPA only lists the worst of the worst. Virtually every county in the US has a landfill site / garbage dump. Most are very well managed and follow the rules but why take a chance. If you choose to live near Mount Trashmore (with a million tons of garbage leaching into the soil) then you should resign yourself to city-water.

Mount Trashmore

Nuclear Power Plants
First, let me say that I'm an advocate for nuclear power. Over the past 70 years there have been only two disastrous nuclear accidents. One was the responsibility of the the incompetent Soviets at Chernobyl. The other (Fukushima) was the responsibility of arrogant Japanese who built a plant in an earthquake zone.

Sidebar: There are a few American nuclear plants located in earthquake zones... but I already told you avoid earthquake zones... so now you have two reasons

The following map shows the locations of nuclear power plants in America. Note there are none in the southern Appalachians (why would there be?). However, there are three plants in the Tennessee Valley. With prevailing winds from the west, an accident at one of these plants could release some radiation over the mountains in southern Tennessee or western North Carolina. In all honesty, this would not deter me from buying property in those areas but it may be a concern for you.

Mining Operations
I don't have a map for large-scale mining operations, but gigantic strip mines are pretty obvious. Just look at satellite images on Google maps before you buy land. The big problem is that new mining operations can be created almost anywhere.

The Globalists and the Climate Hysterians are pushing for a massive increase in 'Green Energy' which will dramatically increase the need/demand for scarce metals. Meeting the current goals of Biden's Green New Deal will require Lithium production to be increased by 500% over the next ten years (and that is just one of many metals).

We can expect there will be MASSIVE environmental degradation as the Globalist's 'protect' the climate.

Industrial Livestock
Large-scale livestock production (particularly pork and chicken) produces massive amounts of sewage, which may contaminate water sources if it's not properly managed.

Sidebar - The Globalists want you to eat bugs so they have greatly exaggerated the evils of raising livestock. As a matter of being unbiased... here's a link to a Globalist website so you can read about their views. www.nrdc.org/stories/industrial-agricultural-pollution-101

As with toxic waste, you want to stay way upstream (and upwind) of commercial pig farms and chicken ranches.

Conclusion
I'm not an expert on sustainability or survival but I hope this segment has given y'all some food for thought as you navigate your future. The best preparation is avoidance. Try to avoid the worst, most-likely Threats and Hazards.

I'm convinced there is no future in Progressive Urban Socialist (PUS) cities. They are declining and the Democrat 'leaders' will pull every slimy, dishonest trick they can to keep you on a treadmill and/or bail themselves out.

However, with a bit of planning and forethought, it is entirely possible to escape to fringe suburbs or rural America where life is much better. Retirement, portable job skills, entrepreneurship or the ability to work from home will allow millions of Americans to enjoy a better, more sustainable life away from urban deterioration and chaos.

DON'T PANIC!!! Prepare Your Escape.
