As preppers, we’re all used to rotating our food supplies. When you come home from the store with five cans of soup they go to the back of the shelf, and when you decide you want soup for dinner you take a can from the front.
That keeps your food supplies as new as possible, and you should do the same with your ammunition. New bullets in, old bullets out.
What if you slip up, though? If you’re running low on ammo, and all that’s left on the shelf is a faded box of rounds you picked up when Reagan was in the White House, what should you do? Is that old ammunition still going to work – and is it even safe to try?
If society collapses, you can bet that the foods the pioneers ate will become dietary staples
First, what kind of ammunition is it? If you have old factory-loaded ammo, hold on to it.
If you have old handloads that you didn’t load yourself, get rid of it.
You don’t know how accurately it was charged, and firing it risks damage to your guns or even injury to you.
If you’re a reloader you can break it down and reuse the cases and bullets, otherwise take it to your local range or police for safe disposal.
It’s just not worth the risk.
On the other hand, if you have commercial ammunition you can be pretty confident every round has the right charge in it and should be safe to fire. Ammunition isn’t like food; the chemicals in it will degrade over time – everything does – but very slowly.
Ammunition that’s years, even decades, old could work as well as the day it was made.
What About Corrosive Primers?
Many shooters are worried about the primers in older ammunition.
Starting in the 1920s commercial ammo makers started switching to non-corrosive primer fillings, but anything made before that used primers that contained Potassium Chlorate and Potassium Perchlorate. These leave a residue that attracts water, and that can cause rust.
Military ammunition was made with corrosive primers for much longer, and there’s still a lot of surplus ammo on the market that uses them.
Before you reject ammo made with corrosive primers it’s worth asking why the military kept using them so long. Simple – they’re very reliable, and they’re particularly stable in long-term storage.
If you’re considering using very old ammo corrosive primers are actually a good thing, because the primers are probably still as reliable as the day they were made. As for the residue, if you clean your guns properly after firing this won’t be a problem.
Ammunition Storage
The most important thing about ammunition isn’t its age or what sort of primer it has; it’s how it was stored.
If ammo has been kept in a sealed box, protected from moisture and extreme temperature changes, it will last more or less indefinitely.
If it hasn’t been protected from moisture and temperature changes, of course, you might have some problems.
Ammunition won’t be harmed by a quick dip in water, but if it’s kept in a damp place for a while it’s going to suffer – and every component is vulnerable. Primers, propellant, cases and even bullets will all degrade in a moist environment. And any one of them can cause a failure.
You can’t really tell the condition of propellant without breaking down a round, but visually checking the outside will tell you a lot about the state of the ammo. Corroded primers are likely to be defective or unstable, and those rounds should be discarded.
Light corrosion on brass cases isn’t always a problem, although you might get failures to feed or eject depending on how bad it is, but heavily corroded brass means you shouldn’t try firing that round.
If there are any signs of splitting or cracking on the case, discard it.
It’s vital to check the actual bullet on old ammunition. If the bullet is loose, or pushed back into the case, get rid of that round. Loose bullets are likely to cause stoppages; deep-seated ones can raise chamber pressure and cause a dangerous breech explosion.
Watch out for heavily corroded bullets too – if the corrosion is bad enough they can stick in the barrel.
Some people worry about squibs with old ammo – where a round doesn’t have enough power to push the bullet out the muzzle, and it stays stuck in the barrel. If that happens, the next round is likely to cause a breech explosion.
Squibs are very rare, though, and when they do happen it’s usually because of careless handloading. If an old round fires at all, it’s as likely to fire properly as a new one.
Firing Old Ammo
So in theory, old ammo should work fine as long as it’s been properly stored. How does that stack up to the reality?
I’ve fired .303 British ammunition that was well over 30 years old, and it worked perfectly.
The internet is full of videos of people using even older ammo. This rifleman is firing German 8mm made in 1942 – 79 years old, and as effective as ever.
Another shooter loaded his pistol with 96-year-old .45 ACP and every round fired. Even 88-year-old .22 long worked perfectly most of the time in an old revolver and a semi-auto rifle.
How about 50-year-old 12-gauge or 60-year-old 7.62mmx39? That’s no problem either. Got some 70-year-old Swedish 9mm? It’s probably as good as new. Even this 125-year-old black powder 11mm Werndl round fired.
If you don’t know how ammo has been stored there’s always a risk of misfires with older rounds, but if it looks to be in good condition it’s definitely worth trying. Even if one round in ten fails to fire – and that’s on the high side – it’s a lot better than having no ammo at all.
Rotate your ammunition supply and keep it as fresh as possible, but if old ammo is all you have left, use it and make it count.
Today I’d like to share with you a “3-second survival hack” you can use to skyrocket your chances of protecting your loved ones during ANY crisis.
The doctor who wrote it isn’t an “anti-vaxxer” (whatever that is exactly), a “conspiracy theorist” or “Covid denyer” or any of other other puerile labels hastily attached by the Vaccine Faction to anyone with the guts to speak out.
He is a conscientious medical doctor working on the front lines and observing at first hand what is happening to people who take the experimental vaccines and pseudo vaccines being recklessly pushed on them by the government.
As he rightly points out, if so many serious adverse reactions are already occurring in the short term, what lies in store for the vaccinated in the long term?
We would point out also that if so many, varied and extremely serious adverse reactions are occurring in the immediate-term that were not predicted and of which we were not forewarned, how sloppy has been the research and trials that preceded the release of these biochemical agents?
As the long term tests and trials were not done, nobody knows what is going to happen in the long term.
It is usual to do the trials and tests before releasing a medicine for general use. That way, if the research is done properly, we have a reasonable idea of how great are the risks and likelihood of adverse events.
An understanding of the true extent of the risks can then be assessed against how great are the risks of the disease.
The third factor is an understanding of whether the vax actually works in terms of doing what is claimed for other jabs (polio, measles, meningitis etc etc) and that is RENDERING YOU IMMUNE to the disease. By immune it is generally understood to mean what it says in Dictionary.com:
protected from a disease or the like, as by inoculation.
of or relating to the production of antibodies or lymphocytes that can react with a specific antigen.
exempt or protected.
not responsive or susceptible.
In the case of the Covid vaccines and pseudo vaccines, we get the following:
True extent of the risks:
short-, medium- and long-term adverse effects not known. We simply cannot evaluate how much of a risk we are taking when we get the jab. A crude analogy is that of playing Russian Roulette without knowing how many bullets are in the chamber (one, two, four, none etc).
How dangerous is the disease being vaccinated against:
the government spin tries to paint the bug as deadly even though for the vast majority it isn’t. Untreated, however, it can be deadly for the elderly and already very ill and so forth, although the “with COVID” fatality stats issued by the government are clearly designed to mislead as had been covered by no end of commentators.
However, this second factor is where probably the greatest deceit lies: the painting of Covid19 as deadly.
Treatments for Covid have been know from the outset but suppressed or steadfastly ignored in every government ad, pronouncement or briefing so as to create the myth that the vaxes are “our only chance” or “our only way out of this”.
This is simply a calculated, cynical bare-faced lie. Known remedies, had they not been withheld ,would have reduced to near zero the risk of fatality from this very treatable bug. The best analogy I can think of is hiding or secretly destroying ninety percent of the food supply then declaring a famine and convincing everybody how great is their personal risk of dying of starvation.
So if the known, safe and effective treatments (that have been getting very effective results where conscientious frontline doctors have used them) had not been suppressed, we would not have had a situation in which we would be deciding whether to be vaxed because the bug would have been routinely dealt with using known medications that have been around for decades and have in all that time had no safety issues. The serious illnesses would have been at least eighty percent fewer and fatalities almost zero.
We would in, other words, have been making an informed choice as to whether to use an unproven vaccine still in the experimental stage and only authorised for emergency use and thus of uncertain risk levels (yet producing enough adverse events to cry out for caution) against the almost zero risk from a routinely treatable bug.
In fact there would have been no emergency to justify the use of experimental vaccines recklessly rushed into the marketplace.
In other words, this entire emergency with its rushed and highly suspicious vaccines, lockdowns, illnesses, fear relentlessly drummed into us by the media, fatalities, economic destruction, and so forth ad nauseam, this whole scenario derives not from the alleged pandemic but from the government’s negligence or malice aforethought in keeping the highly workable, effective and safe remedies away from the public.
The government alleges that 12000 people have been killed by this bug. Well, if those numbers are to be believed, then around 90,000 (80 percent) or more of those would not have died had the remedies been made available and backed by the same investment of money, resources and energy as that devoted to the vax roll out, the test and trace and the propaganda blitz designed to terrify the people.
Thus the government has killed around 90,000 people through its own wilful negligence and when the full effects of the booby-trapped vaccines make themselves felt over the next few years, God-alone-knows how many more.
And bear in mind too, as if the above mentioned ineptitude and homicidal skulduggery were not enough, there is STILL a third factor to be taken into account were FULLY INFORMED consent been permitted, uncertainty as to whether the unneeded vaxes even work in terms of rendering you immune to the bug.
But our conjecture is all very well, so let’s hear what a medical doctor working with this fiasco on the front lines has to say. And as you read this bear in mind the pressure that is put on medical staff to keep quiet, so much so that any doctor or nurse speaking out knows they are doing do so at considerable personal risk. It speaks volumes both of their heroism and of the seriousness of what they are witnessing.

Rapid Response:
Re: Do doctors have to have the covid-19 vaccine?
Important editorial notice for readers: This is a rapid response (online comment by a third party) and not an article in The BMJ. It is attributed in a misleading way on certain websites and social media. The Editor, 08/04/2021.
I have had more vaccines in my life than most people and come from a place of significant personal and professional experience in relation to this pandemic, having managed a service during the first 2 waves and all the contingencies that go with that.
Nevertheless, what I am currently struggling with is the failure to report the reality of the morbidity caused by our current vaccination program within the health service and staff population. The levels of sickness after vaccination is unprecedented and staff are getting very sick and some with neurological symptoms which is having a huge impact on the health service function. Even the young and healthy are off for days, some for weeks, and some requiring medical treatment. Whole teams are being taken out as they went to get vaccinated together.
Mandatory vaccination in this instance is stupid, unethical and irresponsible when it comes to protecting our staff and public health. We are in the voluntary phase of vaccination, and encouraging staff to take an unlicensed product that is impacting on their immediate health, and I have direct experience of staff contracting Covid AFTER vaccination and probably transmitting it. In fact, it is clearly stated that these vaccine products do not offer immunity or stop transmission. In which case why are we doing it?
There is no longitudinal safety data (a couple of months of trial data at best) available and these products are only under emergency licensing. What is to say that there are no longitudinal adverse effects that we may face that may put the entire health sector at risk?
Flu is a massive annual killer, it inundates the health system, it kills young people, the old the comorbid, and yet people can chose whether or not they have that vaccine (which had been around for a long time). And you can list a whole number of other examples of vaccines that are not mandatory and yet they protect against diseases of higher consequence.
Coercion and mandating medical treatments on our staff, of members of the public especially when treatments are still in the experimental phase, are firmly in the realms of a totalitarian Nazi dystopia and fall far outside of our ethical values as the guardians of health.
I and my entire family have had COVID. This as well as most of my friends, relatives and colleagues. I have recently lost a relatively young family member with comorbidities to heart failure, resulting from the pneumonia caused by Covid.
Despite this, I would never debase myself and agree, that we should abandon our liberal principles and the international stance on bodily sovereignty, free informed choice and human rights and support unprecedented coercion of professionals, patients and people to have experimental treatments with limited safety data. This and the policies that go with this are more of a danger to our society than anything else we have faced over the last year.
What has happened to “my body my choice?” What has happened to scientific and open debate? If I don’t prescribe an antibiotic to a patient who doesn’t need it as they are healthy, am I anti-antibiotics? Or an antibiotic-denier? Is it not time that people truly thought about what is happening to us and where all of this is taking us?
Last week, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb vetoed a bill that would limit gubernatorial authority in declaring emergencies. The bill would allow the General Assembly to call itself into an emergency session, with the idea that the legislature could then vote to end, or otherwise limit, a governor’s emergency powers. Although both the legislature and the governor’s office are controlled by Republicans, the legislature has apparently wearied of the governor’s repeated renewals of the state’s emergency status in the name of managing the effects of the covid-19 virus.
The legislature could still override the veto. In Indiana, an override requires only a majority vote.
If the legislature does so, it won’t be the first state to override a governor’s veto on this front. Last month, the Republican-led Ohio legislature voted to override Republican Mike DeWine’s veto of Senate Bill 22 which gives lawmakers the authority to cancel any gubernatorial health orders that last longer than 30 days. The bill also creates a legislative oversight panel.
These two states, however, offer only a small sampling of what state legislators have planned during 2021’s legislative session. In fact, lawmakers in 45 states have proposed more than 300 measures this year designed to expand legislative oversight over governors’ emergency powers.
Ironically, in many states, the Covid-19 shutdowns—which many governors used to essentially turn their state governments into institutions of one-man rule and rule-by-decree—may end up precipitating a widespread movement to limit executive powers in state governments. The fact that a great many residents of New York, Ohio, and California have apparently had enough of their governors may be a harbinger for the future.
One can only hope so since this is a debate that is long overdue.
States have long expanded the administrative powers of governors and lengthened their terms in office. So we now have a nation full of politically and administratively powerful state governors who think it perfectly reasonable to declare year-long states of emergency, shut down businesses at the point of a gun, and order law-abiding citizens to stay in their homes. In many states, legislatures could do little, and did do little.
In response to any efforts to curtail their powers, governors will naturally protest, claiming—as Mike DeWine did—that to limit the governors’ powers would upset the “balance of powers” or otherwise endanger be “unconstitutional” or constitute a threat to public safety. No legislator should fall for this ruse. It’s high time that governors be reined in and stripped any many powers of which governors of yesteryear could only dream of wielding. Just as executive power at the federal level constitutes one of the gravest dangers that the US regime can pose, the same is true at the state level.
State Legislators Move to Rein in Governors
The idea that governors must be trusted with emergency powers have long rested on a presumption that these powers would be limited in time and scope.
The covid-19 business closures, mask orders, and stay-at-home orders, on the other hand, have made it abundantly clear that state governors will enthusiastically embrace emergency orders that last many months, with governor freely renewing their emergency powers again and again and again. Moreover, governors have wielded their power arbitrarily, often apparently deciding to implement shutdowns on a whim with no established metrics for how many covid deaths or infections would trigger more business closures. Governors have handed over public health decisions to unelected bureaucrats who often meet in secret and with no public accountability.
It appears many legislators have learned something from the experience.
According to the AP:
About half of [the 45 states considering bills to limit governors’ powers] are considering significant changes, such as tighter limits on how long governors’ emergency orders can last without legislative approval. …
Though the pushback is coming primarily from Republican lawmakers, it is not entirely partisan.
Republican lawmakers have sought to limit the power of Democratic governors in states such as Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina. But they also have sought to rein in fellow Republican governors in such states as Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana and Ohio. Some Democratic lawmakers also have pushed back against governors of their own party, most notably limiting the ability of embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to issue new mandates.
In Ohio, the new legislation that will limit DeWine’s power also explicitly limits the power“ limits local health officials’ power to require people to quarantine or self-isolate without a specific medical diagnosis and allows Ohioans to sue over the constitutionality of any state emergency order in their home county.”
Efforts to rein in governors’ powers are not limited to legislative action. The state Supreme Courts in Wisconsin and Michigan have both handed down rulings limiting the governors’ powers, and a recall election designed to end Gavin Newsom’s lockdown fetish is—so far—moving forward.
Most efforts to limit governors’ power, however are likely going to have to come at the legislative level. The federal courts have made it clear they’re not willing to do much to limit emergency powers, and state supreme courts have also proven to be mostly unresponsive.
A Long Trend of Increasing Governors’ Powers
If legislatures do move to limit governor’s powers, however, it would be only a small reversal in a long and well-established trend toward increases in gubernatorial power.
In the early years of the United States, state governors were thorough limited by the legislatures. In many cases, governors were appointed by the legislatures themselves, and terms of office were one or two years in length. Although states then moved toward popular election of governors—thus making them more independent of the legislatures—the legislatures also moved to reduce the governor’s administrative power by making more offices elected rather than appointed by the governor.
Thus, during the first half of the nineteenth century, up until around 1850,
the governor’s appointing power, and as a result his control of the administration was at its lowest point. The general result of the development up to that time made the governor’s position less important than at first; and his legislative authority was of greater importance than his administrative authority.1
This changed during the second half of the century, however, and in a lengthy 1912 analysis for the Michigan Law Review, John Fairlie concluded:
In the period since 1850 the position of the State governor has been strengthened to a notable extent, not so much by changes in the State constitutions, as by the expansion of State administration and a considerable increase in the appointing power of the governor conferred by statute. Many new State offices, boards and commissions have been established; and these positions have been filled on the nomination of the governor usually with the consent of the senate. This increase in appointing power has added to the governor’s control over the State administration; and the increased administrative control has added to the influence of the governor in other directions. … The general result has been to emphasize decidedly the importance of the governor’s office; although his authority still falls much short of that of the President of the United States.
In other words, increasing the number of administrative agencies and offices constitutes a de facto increase to a governor’s power. Coupled with new opportunities to appoint political allies to bureaucratic offices, the effect is sizable indeed.
It’s also notable that Fairlie’s words were written in 1912. Needless to say, the administrative power of governors, exercised through appointed bureaucrats, has not exactly been reduced since 1912. Moreover, over the past century, the number of state governors enjoying four-year terms instead of two-year terms has nearly doubled, further increasing the governors’ independence from both the voters and the legislature.
Unfortunately, limiting gubernatorial power will do nothing to directly limit federal power or the US president’s vast executive power which dwarfs that of the states. This is part of the reason why Americans largely ignore their state governors and their offices. They have, until recently, seemed relatively invisible. Yet, the covid-19 lockdowns have unexpectedly brought into clear view the fact governors do in fact wield immense power over the daily lives of Americans, and many do so in an aggressive and arbitrary manner. Now is as good a time as any to strip these governors of more than a little of their much-abused power.
How close can Russia and Ukraine come to war without actually going over the precipice? Over the weekend, more forces on both sides continued to pour into the conflict zone. And on the line of separation in eastern Ukraine, there are regular reports of gunfire and shelling. At this point, there are no negotiations on the horizon, and one false move could easily spark an all-out war.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Thursday said the situation in eastern Ukraine was ‘very unstable’ and warned it risked leading to ‘full-scale combat operations.’
As Kiev warned it could be ‘provoked’ by Russia’s aggression, several Western nations have voiced fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move could trigger an all-out war, which could drag Nato allies, including Britain, into the conflict.
By rushing so many forces to the conflict zone, the Russians have prepared themselves to be ready for any scenario that may unfold.
According to one British news source, Russia now has “close to 100,000 troops” in the region…
The Russia-Ukraine crisis could explode into all-out war within days after Moscow amassed close to 100,000 troops at the flashpoint border, it was feared last night.
Senior Ukraine military sources fear Moscow’s war-planners may have wrong-footed Kiev by being far more battle-ready for a major land and sea attack than previously suspected.
If a full-blown war does break out, the Ukrainian military will be no match for the Russian military.
The Ukrainians would literally beg NATO for help, and Joe Biden has already promised “unwavering support” for the regime in Kiev.
Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. and Russia have never been closer to war than they are right now, and that is why this crisis is far more important than most Americans realize.
Within the last 24 hours, there has been quite a bit more activity along the line of separation. The following is an English translation of a report that was posted on the official website of the Ukrainian military…
During the past 24 hours, on April 10, in the area of the Joint Forces operation, the armed forces of the Russian Federation violated the ceasefire 10 times, including 9 shellings of Ukrainian defenders and 1 flight of an enemy UAV crossing the line of demarcation.
In particular, in the area of responsibility of the operational and tactical group “East”, the Russian occupation forces fired at our positions near the village of PYSCHEVYK with 82 mm mortars, anti-tank and hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers prohibited by the Minsk agreements. In the suburbs of the villages of PISKY and SHYROKYNE, the enemy opened fire with small arms, and near AVDIYIVKA and KAMYANKA – with grenade launchers of various systems.
In the area of responsibility of the operational and tactical group “North”, near the village of MAYORSKE, armed formations of the Russian Federation fired at the positions of Ukrainian defenders with hand-held anti-tank and grenade launchers.
Near the village of ZOLOTE-3, the enemy opened fire with automatic machine grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.
Of course the Ukrainians don’t always disclose when they fire upon forces on the other side, and that has been happening on numerous occasions as well.
This sort of low level fighting is only a concern because it could potentially lead to a much larger conflict.
And in preparation for such a conflict, the Russians have been moving some very serious hardware into the region.
For example, it is being reported that the Russians have moved at least six “city destroyers” into the conflict zone…
At least six 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortars – capable of firing warheads 12 miles – were filmed on flat-bed trains. Dubbed the ‘city destroyer’, the weapon’s devastating power has demolished strongholds from Chechnya to Afghanistan.
Even more importantly, we are being told that the Russians have been deploying Iskander missile systems close to Ukraine…
Open-source intelligence specialist at Janes Thomas Bullock identified Russian Iskander missile systems that have moved or are moving to the Ukrainian area of operations since late March through open-source intelligence.
Thomas Bullock posted a Janes article from 8 April that said he identified the deployment of Iskander short-range ballistic missile systems, likely belonging to the 119 Missile Brigade, to Voronezh from the Sverdlovsk region.
This is a sign that the Russians are definitely not messing around.
Iskander missile systems can be used to deliver conventional payloads, but they are also designed to carry nuclear warheads…
Russian official sources claim that the R-500 missile carries a conventional 500 kg warhead or nuclear warhead with a yield of around 10-50 kT. It is likely that there are several different conventional warheads, including cluster, fuel-air explosive, and bunker-busting. The missile can overcome enemy air defense systems while offering high-probability of failure-free operation in countermeasures environments. It has a target accuracy of 5m to 7m and operates even in fog or low visibility.
If push came to shove, the Russians would not hesitate to use tactical nukes if they felt it was necessary.
We should all carefully monitor the situation in Ukraine, because this really does have the potential to spark World War 3.
Of course there are two other potential conflicts that could also cause global war to erupt.
China has been eyeing a potential invasion of Taiwan for quite some time now. If China decides to actually pull the trigger, the U.S. and China would immediately be at a state of war.
Also, it appears to be just a matter of time before Israel and Iran go to war. On Sunday, Iranian officials announced that the Natanz nuclear facility “was hit by a ‘terrorist” attack”…
Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility was hit by a “terrorist” attack on Sunday, the country’s nuclear chief said, hours after reports of an electrical “accident” – and a day after new uranium enrichment centrifuges were started up.
Iran reserves the right to “take action” against those behind the incident at the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facility in Natanz, the head of the nation’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, told state TV on Sunday.
He called the incident at the plant an act of “nuclear terrorism.”
Iran’s nuclear program has been steadily moving forward, and Israel had made it abundantly clear that it will never allow the Iranians to develop their own nuclear weapons.
The clock is ticking, and there will be war at some point.
So which flashpoint will erupt first?
I don’t know, but the red horse is getting ready to ride, and things could start to spiral out of control at any time.
I believe that we will be the generation that will experience World War 3, and it truly will be too horrible for words.
All people of the world should hope that a multipolar world vision prevails and the destructive American ideology fails – definitively.
There is a close parallel in the way the Biden administration is riling up dangerous tensions with Russia and China. The proxy in both cases are the Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively.
Washington is citing claims that Russia and China are threatening its allies which, in turn, provides a pretext for the United States to step up its own provocative actions. It’s a vicious cycle that is at grave risk of spinning out of control into an all-out war between nuclear powers.
In just three months after his inauguration as the 46th U.S. president, Joe Biden’s administration has embarked on a reckless course of belligerence toward Russia and China. This dynamic was predicted by Strategic Culture Foundation in several of our commentaries and interviews before Biden was inaugurated on January 20.
If society collapses, you can bet that the foods the pioneers ate will become dietary staples
However, this systematic hostility from the United States has been underway from several past administrations, including the previous Trump White House and before that the Obama administrations in which Biden served as vice president. Now as president, Biden is taking up a continuous policy of aggression with even more gusto. This invariable direction of belligerence tends to prove the real nature of U.S. politics. Presidents come and go, elections take place periodically, but the power and policymaking resides with deep state planners whose loyalty is not to any particular party but rather to the furtherance of imperial objectives regarding America’s presumed global position and privileges.
The current president and his top aides, like before, bring a certain stylistic image to the underlying thrust of power. Team Biden have sharpened the rhetoric of adversity, repeatedly labelling Moscow and China as “existential threats”. Practical acts of hostility have followed, including imposing sanctions on Russia over its Nord Stream 2 gas project with Europe; and on China over baseless claims of “genocide” against its Uyghur ethnic population in Xinjiang.
The Biden administration is turning reality on its head, either through cynical deception or from its own cognitive dissonance regarding the real world. (Most certainly the former for the deep state planners, maybe the latter for the politician puppets.)
It accuses Russia of aggression by building up military forces on the border with Ukraine. This is while the U.S.-backed regime in Kiev has been serially violating a shaky ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine, shelling civilian centers and escalating a humanitarian crisis. Russia has every right to deploy military forces wherever it deems within its borders. Moscow has rejected claims that it is posing a threat to any other country. Nonetheless, this week the Kremlin said the deteriorating security conditions in Eastern Ukraine (the Donbass) may oblige it to defend ethnic Russians facing a criminal offensive. That offensive is being waged by the Kiev regime which has the full support of the United States and the NATO military alliance. Only last month, the Biden administration released a further $125 million in lethal weaponry to the Ukraine. That can be seen as a green light for the regime in Kiev to reject the 2015 Minsk peace accord and to push for more conflict in what has already been a seven-year war, causing more than 13,000 deaths. (The war was instigated after the U.S., EU and NATO backed a coup d’état in Kiev in February 2014 which brought to power an anti-Russian regime with historic links to Nazi Germany.)
Yet in the Alice-in-Wonderland view of Washington, as well as the European Union and NATO, the aggression is being instigated by Russia.
As for China and Taiwan: Biden is advancing the same policy under the previous Trump and Obama administrations of military buildup near China’s territory. This week saw the fourth U.S. guided-missile destroyer passing through the Taiwan Strait since Biden took office. That narrow sea separates the breakaway island from China’s mainland. Beijing has sovereign territorial claim to Taiwan which is recognized by the vast majority of nations, including up until recently the United States under its so-called “One China” policy. Biden, like his predecessor Donald Trump, is deliberately eroding the One China policy by sending delegates to the island on official visits, increasing weapons sales and most provocatively making public declarations that the U.S. will “defend” Taiwan in the event of “an invasion” by Chinese forces.
Similar to the Ukraine, the Biden administration’s rhetoric and conduct is serving to fuel an ever-more provocative stance by the Taiwanese leaders. This week, a senior official warned that the island’s forces would shoot down Chinese aircraft that approach the territory. This is nothing but a flagrant challenge to China’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. As in the case of the Ukraine and Russia, it is Washington’s words and actions that are inflaming the tensions between Taiwan and China. Yet the Americans accuse others of “aggression” and claim to be providing “defense”.
The bigger picture for all of this is, of course, the geopolitical great game which Washington sees as a zero-sum challenge. Strategists in Washington have made it abundantly clear that the American imperative for pursuing its ambitions for global power and dominance is to prevent the rise of Russia and China and a multipolar world order. Moscow and Beijing have repeatedly called for a peaceful coexistence among nations based on partnership, mutual respect and above all adherence to international law. In short, the manifestation of the United Nations Charter.
Such a multipolar world of equals is anathema to the United States and its imperialist pursuit of unipolar dominance. The latter configuration is essential for maintaining the dollar as the world’s reserve currency which, in turn, is vital for propping up the U.S. economy. For historical reasons, American capitalism is waning from its previous formidable prowess as the world’s engine for growth. The tide is shifting to China and Eurasia which offer an alternative model of socialistic planned economies, based on a mix of public and private ownership, which are directed at progressing societal development. China’s success in lifting millions of its people out of poverty while millions of Americans fall into poverty indicates the end of an “America Century”. The United States, under its prevailing corporate capitalist system, cannot compete with the emerging multipolar order. By way of trying to reverse the historic decline, the U.S. is compelled to resort to increasing militarism against what it perceives as its nemesis – Russia and China – the two main proponents of a multipolar vision.
It is therefore logical, if not execrable, that Washington appears to be accelerating on a collision course against Russia and China. The speed and recklessness is correlated with the growing sense that the American Empire is in terminal demise. The Ukraine and Taiwan are providing the U.S. with a two-prong attack against Russia and China and what Washington views as its last chance to grasp on to a world that is disappearing before its eyes. America’s reckless and delusional gambling is placing the world in an extremely dangerous situation. Its rulers and their political flunkies are flicking matches at a powder-keg.
Our underlying goal in a SHTF scenario is ultimately to stay alive and live without exposure to risks. As much preparation as many of us have made, in the altered world of a SHTF crisis, there will be many dangers that lurk; and some of them will be inadvertently from our own doing.
Here are the six laws of survival. Read this. Memorize this. Apply this. One day, you will need it.]
In a survival scenario all bets are off and the following laws will keep you alive. These laws are rigid, but necessary. Harsh, but true. Keep your cards close and always have a plan.
Law 1: Wherever that crowd is running, do not join them.
This is not to say that they aren’t (initially) running in the right direction. But what of it? They are bound to be either captured en masse or worse (bombed, strafed, or shot). For the horror of the IHM (the Incredible Human Mob), look no further than “War of the Worlds” with Tom Cruise where he and his family are driving the passenger van…right up and into the mob. Look what happened there. You can’t defeat their numbers, and you will be captive to them…another steer in the herd.
Strike out on your own, you and your family, avoiding the main thoroughfares at all cost, and avoiding the IHM.
Law 2: You have to have a place (and places) to go.
This is where thinking outside of the general herd will pay off. We’re going to instruct by running through a checklist…. this will be a “handy-dandy” checklist that you can print out or run over in your mind to be able to follow rule #2.
Did you preposition assets (food, weapons, money, etc.) at an initial safe location?
Is that location within walking distance for you and your family?
Once there, are you and your family secure for at least a 24 – 48-hour period?
Safe from enemy troops/government “peacekeepers” on the hunt?
Safe from fallout and/or NBC agents?
Does it have a food and water supply to sustain all of you for 7 days?
If your initial safe location has been compromised, is a duplicate location nearby?
Do you have a farther (more remote) location that you can reach on foot in 3 days?
A secure, sustainable location with supplies for at least a month?
Do you and your family have a handheld method of communication for each member?
Have you formulated short-term (initial contact, 48 hours, 7 days) plans?
Have you made long-term (1 month and month-by-month; 6 months and 6-month continuous analysis; 1 year) plans?
Guys and gals, these are just basics. You must have these things in place in order to give you and your family a fighting chance. Whether or not it is a foreign invasion or a domestic communist takeover of the United States, you must leave your home in suburbia or you will be rounded up, bringing us forward:
Law 3: You will be leaving your home, permanently or for a long time.
This is survival. The majority of readers are not living in the mountains or in a remote location. If you follow these steps and practice them on a dry-run on a regular basis…it will give you the advantage that most people will not have. You must innovate: come up with ideas that others will not think of. Do you know of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town? Chances are that 90% of others will think the same thing in a grid-down/Red Dawn survival scenario. You need to find the places that are off the beaten path. And if there are none? It may mean that you have to create a place.
How? By caching your supplies within the walking distances described for each part of the “safe” area. By finding tunnels, caves, or other sub-structures that can protect you from the elements and at least afford partial protection from radiation. By being who it is you imagine yourself to be: a prepper…a survivalist…or a survivor. When you enter any contest, do you enter it to lose? Do you strive for just “second place” or “second best” in this arena? Chances are the answer is “no,” but you have to arrive on that conclusion on your own. All of this is a challenge, and this underlines everything for you if it needs clarification:
Law 4: In survival, there is no silver medal: “second place” means death.
Forget that phrase in “The Hunger Games,” because if you are taken…the odds are not ever in your favor. We went through a 4-article series on how to escape from the Gulag where I reiterated how important it is for you to stay out of it. I stand by this concept. If you are taken captive, the odds aren’t in your favor of getting out…for the duration of it.
And then guess what? The Germans during WWII as the allies approached began to hide their transgressions by liquidating the camps…basically killing everyone that could bear any type of witness to the atrocities. Do not think for an instant that it will not happen again. Look at Holodomor in Ukraine and the starvation tactics the USSR used to follow after the Malthusian model. Our enemies have very little regard for human life, and the lives they value are of their own people. If the Chinese communists would run over their own people with tanks and sell their internal organs while they’re still alive, what will they do with us?
Which brings us to the “Malcolm X” rule:
Law 5: You must stay out and survive by any and all means necessary.
Some of you may think “JJ is a little harsh.” I would rather be hard and harsh now, and enable you, my countrymen, to have some tools at your disposal and a “sharp tack” under the figurative buttocks of your mind to give you the impetus to do something about the situation prior to its occurrence. The country is “long in the tooth,” and you have to grasp these concepts and act upon them now…not burn off the pages and save them in the survival archives…but use them to inculcate your own, individual plan of action now.
Rule #5 means resolving yourself to do what you must in order to protect yourself from the ravages (and not just possible, but probable death) inside of one of these camps. These are all basic, “generic” things to begin as a base for your preparations. This is a form of guerilla warfare! Avoid the occupiers/oppressors at all cost! These things will work for you…if you resolve yourself (ves) to do them. I’ll close with a note on OPSEC (operational security): you better build off of these basics and keep all of them to yourself.
JJ is giving you the basics that you need, without revealing everything of his own plans. Why? Because I earned them by paying for them with years of experience and suffering, and it means my family’s survival. Such measures would run you a lot of money and imagination; such measures come from years of practical experience and the willingness to take chances. This thought brings us to our final rule, the failure of which means compromise leading to death:
Law 6: Do not tip your hand or reveal your plans to anyone.
Next installment we will talk about life under occupation, be that by foreign invaders or by totalitarian state that has morphed out of a democracy. In the meantime, prepare and plan, and when you are reasonably sure, execute a dry run. The practice does make perfect and affords you a time and trials to iron out all of the glitches in your operations. Until next time be good to one another and keep up the fight!
Yes, I am going there. One of the most hotly debated questions in prepper/survival/firearm enthusiast circles is around the best survival rifle. For all intents and purposes, there are only two in competition in the US and those are the AK-47 and the AR-15. I will add that there are variants of both and I am lumping all of those into these two categories. This question of what is the best survival rifle is one that I asked myself when I was considering my first rifle purchase so I wanted to take some time to hash out what I see are the differences and to give you my opinion as to which rifle is better when it comes to the AK-47 vs AR-15.
House cleaning
I know that this subject is insanely controversial, even though it shouldn’t be. It’s the same as getting upset over Ford versus Chevy. If this post makes it to some of the firearms forums out there I know I will have some people who will disparagingly call me an “Internet Expert” implying that I have no idea what I am talking about. So be it. I am not an expert, but I don’t think anyone else is an expert either in this subject. I don’t think anyone out there is more qualified to determine what rifle is best in my opinion, for me, than me. I don’t really care if you are active duty police, 20 year military veteran, or mercenary for hire. This is my opinion based upon my belief and requirements, you are entitled to yours, but that doesn’t mean mine is invalid. It also doesn’t mean you are smarter than anyone else that disagrees with you. It simply means we have different opinions.
Additionally, I will throw out some facts that should be pretty easy to agree on and some opinions based upon my personal experience which may not be. Just because your experience is different, that doesn’t make it a law of science or anything. If you have a different experience, by all means, please comment down below but I would ask you to keep the debate civil as that is what I am going to try to do. If you would like to make your case for the opposite of what I recommend, please do so in the comments and we can all judge whether what you are saying makes sense.
History
Very briefly, the The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated rifle that fires 7.62×39mm ammunition. The AK-47 was developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact. It is still widely used today.
If you are going to count on a rifle, you should know how to take care of it.
The AR-15 is a lightweight, magazine-fed, air cooled rifle with a rotating-lock bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation or long/short stroke piston operation that fires 5.56 mm/.223-caliber ammunition.
The AR-15 was first built by ArmaLite as a small arms rifle for the United States armed forces. Because of financial problems, ArmaLite sold the AR-15 design to Colt who made some modifications and the redesigned rifle was subsequently adopted as the M16 rifle which was the main rifle used by US Armed Forces. Colt then started selling the semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR-15 for civilian sales in 1963 and the term AR-15 has been used to refer to semiautomatic-only versions of the rifle since then.
For the purpose of this comparison we are only going to be discussing semi-automatic weapons available for purchase in the US by a non FFL carrying person, not their fully automatic counterparts.
The Facts
You can quickly see some of the facts below about each rifle on this excellent info graphic from TacticalGear.com , but I will list what I see are the important differences between the two rifles.
The AR-15 can effectively shoot 200 yards further than the AK-47.
The AK-47 shoots a significantly larger bullet than the AR-15.
The AR-15 weighs 2 pounds less (not counting a lot of hardware we add after the fact) than the AK-47
The AK-47 usually costs less than an AR-15.
The AR-15 has a higher (30% more) accuracy than the AK-47
The AK-47 is more widely used globally by a long shot than the AR-15.
The Debate
There are really only 3 main arguments that proponents of the AK-47 use as their rationale for saying that the AK-47 is the better survival rifle so I want to list and address each below.
AK-47 rounds penetrate better and do more damage – This is true generally speaking, let’s move on to the next point.
AK-47 Costs less – This is true generally, let’s move on to the next point.
AK-47 will keep working no matter how dirty it gets – This is also true to an extent, but with a caveat. The point to this argument is that if the AR-15 gets too dirty, you will have firing problems. I can tell you from personal experience that I have never had a single problem with any AR-15 or it’s fully automatic cousins that I have ever shot. However, I clean my rifles usually after every time I shoot them. Sometimes, I will wait, but they never go too long without a thorough cleaning, so what is this point supposed to be saying to us? Well, what if you are in a firefight and you have to shoot 300 rounds through your AR-15 rifle; will it jam then? No, at least not in my experience. Maybe if you shot 10000 rounds through it without cleaning the rifle you could see some issues, but if you are in a firefight so bad that you have shot 10000 rounds, you have bigger problems. What if you drop it in a vat of guacamole? Not a valid point in my book.
For more information and my opinion on which rifle is best, please read below the graphic.
Which Rifle is the Best Survival Rifle?
I will tell you that in my opinion, the best rifle is the one you have with you when you need it. That sounds well and good, but if I was going to buy one rifle, and I lived in America, it would be the AR-15. Why? For me this comes down to 4 simple points.
Accuracy – The AR is simply more accurate at further distances than the AK-47. If I wanted to shoot a rifle up in the air when I was mad, riding in the back of a Toyota truck with 20 of my friends, or happy, or just plain stupid then I might get an AK-47. One of my goals is to be able to engage targets at up to 500 yards and the AR-15 does that better than the AK-47. The AK might use a heavier round that will go through more solid objects, but if you are able to kill the person holding the AK 200 yards before he can hit you, does that matter?
Range – Speaking of range, the AR-15 shoots further effectively, so that just adds to what I was saying above. Range is also important to me because I want to be able to take people out as far away as possible. I don’t want you getting so close that your AK-47 can hit me. I would rather you and your AK be far away and I will take care of you way out there. I don’t mind walking out there to pick up your rifle when I am finished.
Parts – The AR-15 is like the Barbie doll of the firearm world. There are so many accessories! And yes, the military version of this rifle (M16/M4) has a majority of parts that are fully compatible with the AR-15. The AR-15 is also the same weapon used by police, DHS, and NASA. If anything bad happens, there should be plenty of opportunity for spare parts to be acquired. I can’t say the same for the AK-47 unless we are invaded by Russia. So, even if your AK is able to fire with some mud in it, what if something breaks? That is why you buy spare parts you say. No, that is why you buy what everyone else is using including our government.
Ammo – Same as above, this is the ammo our police and military use as well as quite a large number of my countrymen, so I have the advantage of a very common caliber in my favor.
OK, that is my rationale and those are my reasons. The AR-15 does cost a little more on average, but you can find really good deals out there if you look and the price difference would be much lower. Does this mean I wouldn’t own an AK-47? No, not at all. I would love to have one, but I do think that for the reasons I listed above, if you can only choose one and you live in the good old US of A, the AR-15 is the better option in my opinion. I know for a fact people will disagree with me, so please let me know what you think in the comments below.
A summary is in order:Are you willing to accept or resist enslavement?Are you willing to sacrifice your life for Lucifer?
Humanity is being inducted into a satanic cult, Cabalism (Illuminism, Freemasonry, Communism.)
Satanic cults exploit and control their members by corrupting and making them sick. Members are essentially slaves. In occult terms, face masks are emblematic of enslavement. Ultimately they destroy their adherents. Satanism is the religion of death and destruction. (That’s why it’s “evil.”)
Clearly vaccination is the criteria for entry into this cult, and participation in Luciferian society, i.e. the NWO. Recently, Klaus Schwab referred to unvaccinated people as “a threat to humanity.” Hitler couldn’t have said it better about Jews. Several dozen heads of the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Economic Forum (WEF), and various other globalist bodies have declared that the “Great Reset” needs to include the establishment of a global “pandemic” treaty to ensure that all humans are “vaccinated” in accordance with government edicts.
On March 10, CNN medical analyst Dr Leana Wen was concerned that millions of Americans would reject the experimental Covid-19 vaccines, especially as businesses are reopening. She told anchor Chris Cuomo that “we have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status. Otherwise, if everything is reopened, what’s the carrot going to be? How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?” Thursday, a contributor Sandra Archibald pointed out that Satanists typically sacrifice their ownchildren as proof of faith in Lucifer. She said people who vaccinate their children are doing this. Clearly the pressure to vaccinate everyone is driven neither by profit nor health. Covid is merely a pretext to reorganize society along the lines desired by the satanist central bankers. Undoubtedly this involves depopulation.

The White House has denied that vaccine passports will be necessary but already sports venues, casinos and universities are requiring them. Digital passports are on their way. With panic surrounding new phoney “variants,” or if Bill Gates releases a more lethal virus, pressure to be vaccinated will become unbearable. The unvaccinated will be pariahs subject to persecution. On April 1, LA Times Columnist Harry Litman tweeted: “Vaccine passports are a good idea. Among other things, it will single out the still large contingent of people who refuse vaccines, who will be foreclosed from doing a lot of things their peers can do. That should help break the resistance down.” He got 21,000 “likes.” As David Spangler said, “No one will enter the New World Order unless he take a Luciferian initiation.” The COVID vaccine is that initiation. The conflict boils down to accepting or resisting enslavement.
Mankind at crossroads: the world toward the New World Order or toward the liberation and restoration of the Christian faith?
The question that many people are asking themselves in these weeks is: how did we get to this point?
In other words, how was it possible for mankind to reduce itself to a crowd of inhuman zombies who have no other thought than to place a useless and harmful face mask on their faces? (ER: and then rush to take an experimental gene therapy they believe will rid them of a low-grade virus?)
It didn’t happen in one day, and it wasn’t even the exclusive result of the massive terrorist operation which the media, owned by the international finance and big corporations, has been running from a year ago.
To get to this point, a long, slow, necessary, and inexorable process of demoralization necessarily took place that has led mankind to the lowest condition in its history.
By demoralization, a complete lack of values is meant to give birth to a condition where evil is on the same level ground as good is.
It can be said that never has a historical period existed like this where people are so stupid and devoid of thought as they are now.
The Covid terrorist operation was successful because the masses have lost any sense of moral value.
This crisis has been accurately prepared and planned; as was the real goal that is behind it.
The Covid crisis fits all the characteristics of the catalyzing event that the most influential globalist circles have been seeking for decades.
The final goal is none other than the absolute rule of the world through the creation of a totalitarianism much more oppressive and fierce than the ones of the past century.
If one thinks that history is just the result of mere causality and that the powers that rule this world have no strategy in their actions, then he would likely not understand what is going on now.
If one chooses this vision, he resigns and constrains himself to a world of labels through which the system isolates those who are still gifted of free thought.
The system likes to label “conspiracy theorists” or “flat earthers” all those who understand pretty well that there is no such thing as a “health emergency”. The only way the globalist system can survive is to ban the minds who are still able to think independently from what the media propagandizes.
The media, as clearly explained by the sociologist Marshall McLuhan, no longer performs the function to inform the masses.
Instead, the media is the tool that the Power utilizes to program the masses. In other words, the media is no other than a war (mental) machine that has the purpose to tell people what they are supposed to think or not.
Since the beginning of humanity’s existence, we have (for good or bad) been programmed in every single aspect of our daily lives.
Societal institutions have, from a long time ago, lost their primary function to educate and prepare the masses for life. Instead, their goal now is not to nurture people’s critical thinking, but to suppress in every way those who are still able to question the dominant narrative, having understood its huge fallacy.
In order to continue to exist, the globalist ideology needs to create people who don’t think and who only repeat what the agents of the system tell them to say. The agents of the system can be propagandist teachers or the journalists who are only mouth speakers of the international finance and big corporations, both which are the real owners of the press.
At this point, the most natural question would be to ask about the final purpose of this new totalitarianism.
What kind of society does this system want?
The final goal was revealed by the system itself on several occasions, and it is to bring about a one-world government, ruled by a tiny élite belonging to the most exclusive circles of globalism, such as the Club of Rome, the Bilderberg Club, and the Council of Foreign Relations, just to mention a few.
These circles would form the power structure that would rule the world. For decades, they have been working unstoppably to reach this goal, which is the complete removal of nations and their historical and religious values from the face of the Earth.
In this globalist ideal, from the ashes of nations should arise a universal Leviathan dominated by a global tyrant who will persecute all those who will dare to oppose and resist him.
The élites themselves revealed their plans decades ago, but the masses have never seriously considered their intentions.
In 1950, the powerful banker James Warburg (tied to the Rothschilds, the most important family at the top of the globalist power scheme), stated before the US Senate that one day a world government would become a reality.
For Warburg, it wasn’t a matter of if but only how this goal would be achieved, through the general consensus of the masses brought about through force.
Considering the present situation, one would pick the former option. Right now, people of the world (except in rare cases) are not opposing this world dictatorship plan. On the contrary, they are quietly accepting it and, in the worst case, they are enthusiastically clapping to their own and their neighbor’s demise. They are also ready to curse those still gifted of humanity and intelligence and those who don’t want to accept to be destroyed because the regime has ordered them to.
Demoralization paved the way to the global totalitarianism
This situation was not the result of causality, as was mentioned before. To drag mankind to this state of moral darkening, it was necessary to enforce a demoralization program during these past decades, as it was prophetically explained by the former KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenov in 1984.
If a person is devoid of any moral value, he will not be able to separate good from evil and he will be ready to accept anything.
Simply put, if a man ignores good, he will not even present himself with the conundrum to commit evil; because in his eyes, there exists no substantial difference between the former and the latter.
This is the explanation of what is happening in these days. People refuse to either want or to see the truth because they don’t even consider the possibility that there can be evil and lies in the message of the system.
They accept it without any moral scruples, and once they receive the order, even the most inhuman and foolish one will execute it without question.
Freethinking is banned in the world government. But above all, to reach actual demoralization, it will be necessary to eradicate from society its institutions that define the morality of a people, which is religion. In the Western part of the world (especially Italy), it is certainly the Christian religion. De-Christianization is causing the extinction of the Western civilization.
Freemasonry has espoused this goal, and for more than a century, it has systematically planned the infiltration of the Catholic Church. Archbishop Viganò explained that, in this regard Vatican II has had a fundamental role in the acceleration of these plans to usher in the New World Order.
Since the Church opened itself to the world and rejected its secular tradition, the moral decline of Italy, Europe and the world was virtually unstoppable.
The mission of the Church was to resist secularization and laicism, not to become its spokesperson.
Therefore, the current anti-Catholic Church of Bergoglio is nothing other than the natural consequence of this infiltration process.
Society is sick because the Church is sick. The health of the latter affects the former, and the stronger and more resistant the Church is, the weaker and less influential is the power of Freemasonry. Therefore, there is an inversely proportional relation between the Church and Freemasonry.
However, it is indubitable that this world government has a political and particular spiritual nature.
The ideological roots of Freemasonry are the mystery religions, which are founded upon the cult of Lucifer.
The Freemasons who have left this organization have revealed and testified to the world the truth about the religion of Freemasonry, which is shared only with the highest ranks of the lodges, especially the 33rd degree. (ER: it is rumoured that 33rd degree is the highest rank only to the public view.)
Even those who haven’t left Freemasonry and those who had been the most influential masons in history explained the real nature of this sect in their writings.
Albert Pike (33rd degree Grand Master of the US Southern jurisdiction lodge) communicated in his letter to Giuseppe Mazzini (an important Italian Freemason), that the final purpose of Freemasonry was to drag mankind towards a global tyranny founded upon the satanic religion.
Therefore, the destruction of Christianity and the Church is simply vital for Freemasonry to get to its goal.
The world government cannot arise if the hierarchy of anti-Christian values does not replace the Christian values.
If one denies the spiritual root of history and the one of the actual historic period, he fails to understand what is really happening now. He would also be restrained to the materialist vision of history, which cannot explain this age because it denies the supernatural vision.
Let us go back to the crisis at hand. The Covid crisis is surely an instrument to inflate the profits of the big pharmaceutical cartels, but this is not the main goal.
And the most practical example comes from the Covid vaccine rollout itself. Scientist and former Pfizer Vice-President Michael Yeadon clearly pointed out that profit is not the program goal of vaccine distribution.
The pharmaceutical cartel could make more money by increasing the costs of production of each dose. Therefore, the true goal, as Dr. Yeadon said, is a massive depopulation operation.
The Covid mRNA vaccine rollout is already causing some serious adverse reactions on the population and it will also lead to an inevitable reduction of the fertility rates.
The élites want to reduce the world population because their idea is strictly neo-Malthusian. The neo-Malthusian ideology was mainly spread in the early 70s behind the hypocritical façade of environmental protection. Environmentalism had another purpose, which is to convey the idea that in order to protect nature, man’s population must be reduced on Earth.
In other words, this ideology wants to kill mankind and it is certainly not by chance that the globalist circles promoted this idea so much.
The Covid terrorist operation was conceived to get to this goal and after that, those who survive will have no other option than to accept the new totalitarian society – a society where there will be no more jobs, replaced by the universal basic income that will be given out only to those who will receive vaccines and accept the Mark of the Beast.
The recent pandemic treaty signed by 23 world leaders goes exactly in this direction by progressively eroding the residual power of sovereign national governments, to be replaced by the future global superstate.
The world towards global government or the liberation of mankind?
And it is not a hazard to say that never in the history of the world has this idea been so close to becoming a reality.
However, if one takes into consideration the Christian perspective to analyze events, he must try to better understand this vision.
The social sciences of economy, sociology, and geopolitics certainly are useful for understanding this present reality, but each one of these fails to fully comprehend the ideology and the nature of global totalitarianism.
If one has recourse to Christian ideology, then everything that is nonsensical suddenly seems to make sense. The real purpose of this plan is to destroy God’s creation, mankind, and to have us suffer the worst possible scenarios.
The world is now in a state of great chaos and turmoil, and as some believe apparently very close to the End Times. It is necessary to wonder if mankind is at a point in history where the global tyrant should manifest himself to the world.
To this, there are several spiritual and geopolitical reasons to believe that this is not the case and that the world is not still close to the precipice.
The reasons that belong to the spiritual realm suggest that the world in this moment is in the fifth of the Seven Ages of the Church. This classification of religious history was made for the first time by the German Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser, who also wrote some excellent commentaries about the Apocalypse.
Holzhauser divided the history of the world into seven great ages, the first age being the birth of Christ, with the seventh age – the end – commencing with the coming of the Antichrist.
According to several interpretations of this prophecy, amongst them, Bishop Williamson’s, the world now should be in the fifth age. This age is one of great moral dissolution and spiritual decay in which people give in to apostasies and are very far away from the faith.
Moreover, chaos rules and major turmoil will affect nations in several parts of the world.
Holzhauser’s Fifth Age shares some significant resemblance with the present epoch, where mankind appears to be touching its lowest point in history. People now only listen to the false word of the scientist shamans.
However, this period should end soon and the general apostasy should come to an end.
Once this amoral period expires, the Church should come to its greatness guided by a leader known in the prophecies as the “Holy Pope”.
Several scholars think that this figure is none other than Archbishop Viganò, who in this moment is certainly the spiritual leader in the battle against the false Church that has turned into an agent of Freemasonry and one-world religion.
However, other material elements suggest also that the time of the world government has not yet arrived, because not all the major world powers are in the hands of the New World Order.
To further explore this, let us go now to Count Kalergi, Freemason and ideological father of the European Union. Kalergi was an Austrian Freemason and an important intellectual financed by the Rothschilds and the Warburgs. In the 1920’s, he proposed that for the world government to be successful, it would need the participation of the US, of a United Europe (the United States of Europe), of Great Britain, and the then USSR.
The division of the world, according to Kalergi
Only the participation of these major geopolitical blocs (along with other geopolitical blocs) would allow for the birth of a one-world government. Freemason Winston Churchill also arrived at the same conclusions in 1950.
In this historic moment, the big globalist power has certainly the absolute control of the EU, where the the anti-Christian infection is quite deep, of Great Britain and Communist China, but they still do not have the control of Russia and the US.
The US seems to be suspended in a sort of limbo. The Biden-Harris administration appears to be a puppet administration that might not last for long. There is a hypothesis that after January 20, Trump temporarily stepped aside to deliver power to the armed forces. This move could have been done to buy some more time to overturn the 2020 electoral fraud and return to power, but way before 2024.
The latest statements of Mike Lindell and the news from Arizona, where a forensic audit on the ballots will be performed, seem to suggest that this eventuality is becoming more likely.
It is worth noting that recently, the Biden-Harris administration failed to sign the pandemic treaty, which is the foundation of the world government.
In any case, there will be no world government without the participation of the US. This is the reason why globalism has been seeking to reconquer the control of America.
They are perfectly aware that without the US superpower, there is no way to get to this goal.
On the other side of the planet, there is Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin. Before the arrival of Trump, Putin’s Russia was a real dam against the advancement of the totalitarian project.
In his recent Davos Forum speech, Putin proclaimed that the time of the global unilateral vision was coming to an end and that the world will not go towards the Great Reset.
With this in mind, globalism is desperately trying to accelerate towards this final goal, but it has failed to take with it the two world superpowers, which should be the architrave of the world dictatorship.
The window of opportunity is rapidly closing and the weak EU cannot certainly lead the world towards the world superstate.
Bill Gates recently spoke in an interview and said that more time is needed to get to the Great Reset.
The end of the fake pandemic was postponed to 2022, and if one looks at the schedule published by several government whistleblowers last year, it appears that things are not going exactly as planned.
The élites planned to take over America in 2021, but in Washington, there is a puppet administration.
Therefore, in this scenario, it seems possible to see some fortuitous developments that may suggest that in this present age, the Rothschilds’ plans will not be successful. In any case, it is important to remember that it will not be easy at all.
The world is deemed to face major turmoils even if the globalist plans fail.
Only those who endure to the end will make it. Above all, only those who can catch the spiritual side of this battle will arrive to the finish line.
The Easter of Resurrection has just passed, and this could be also the omen for a Resurrection of Christ’s forces on Earth who are resisting this evil.
Anthony Migchels: “Henry, something big happened last week: the IMF is going to give out loans in SDR. Special Drawing Rights are their currency. By itself, they’re nothing special, but the IMF has always lent in Dollars. That they are going to print their own currency on a large scale, $650 billion to begin with, is simply monumental. It means that World Currency is starting. This is EXACTLY what Mark Carney (BoE chief) announced 18 months ago. That the Petrodollar would end ‘in ten years’, and would be replaced with an IMF World Reserve Currency. I reported on it here. There’s Going to be a Gold Standard & It Will Be Disastrous.”“Make no mistake: if there’s a World Central Bank, and a World Reserve Currency, open World Government is not far away.”
Eighteen months after Mark Carney officially announced the end of the Petrodollar, and its replacement by an IMF World Reserve Currency, the IMF announces that they will create $650 billion worth of Special Drawing Rights.
It’s an astounding event. The IMF ceases lending in dollars, and starts using its own currency to bail out nations. Ninety have asked for ‘assistance’, their finances savaged by the lockdown.
$650 billion may not sound like much but this is only the beginning. Soon the IMF will be throwing around trillions worth of SDR like the Fed now is doing with USD.
The idea is that the IMF currency can be used as reserve currency. And they will, the Petrodollar is inflating badly, and has lost perhaps as much as half of its value in real terms over the last 18 months or so. The Euro and the Yen are also in bad shape, hiding the true extent of the dollar’s decline. Nobody is going to be happy to see their reserves (or savings) melt away.
This may sound either bizarre, or even hardly relevant, but it is. Everybody is bamboozled by the Lockdown and the ‘virus’, but in the background a huge financial crisis has been ongoing. Let’s recapitulate the key events over the last few years, that led to this crunch moment in World History.
0. The foreplay was the Fed starting tapering in 2017. Presumably trying to take some of the liquidity they had injected during the 2008 Crunch out of the System. And raising rates. This had the entirely predictable, and indeed widely predicted, effect of creating a major liquidity squeeze in the System.
Here’s the trend of M2 growth, a key money supply measure.
As is clearly visible, the Fed’s tapering simply caused a deflationary crash, just as they did in 2008, and 2001. Money growth went to zero; it needs to grow about 10% per year to keep the System sufficiently liquid.
Basically to keep the Usury on the debt payable, that is what is driving money growth. There is never enough money to pay interest + debt.
HISTORY LESSON
1. But the story of the death of the Petrodollar and the rise of the IMF World Reserve Currency starts in earnest in August 23 2019, when Mark Carney, Bank of England chief at the time, in a meeting with colleague central bankers, announced that ‘within ten years’, the Dollar’s role as World Reserve Currency would end, and that it would be replaced not by the Yuan, but an IMF World Reserve Currency. He added that a change of reserve currency is typically associated with ‘dramatic upheavals’.
2. Then, not a month later, on Monday September 16th 2019, problems started mounting on the repo market, where Banks and other ‘institutions’ go for daily short term loans to balance their books. It went as high as 10%. This indicated that players in the shadow banking system didn’t trust each others’ collateral anymore. They effectively stopped lending to each other. One may remember the Libor rate in 2008, which went up, indicating the same problems. This means these ‘institutions’ were technically bankrupt.
3. This then, was the excuse for the Fed to start QE 4. At first, they said they would start a) buying up treasuries, and b) provide ‘short term loans’ on a daily basis to insolvent ‘institutions’.
It started with about $75 billion per day, which nowadays is small beer, but things escalated quickly. On January 3d 2020, the day Soleimani was executed, the Fed reported that they had already doled out $6 Trillion in day to day-loans.
4. Things worsened only from there. When the World Wide Lockdown started, March 16th 2020, the Fed was already providing a cool $1 Trillion per day in loans to the shadow banking system. That fateful day, when 4 billion people were given house arrest, they started a $4 Trillion ‘asset purchasing program’, basically allowing the bankrupt ‘institutions’ (it’s very sad Newspeak to call these plunder operations ‘institutions’) to off load their junk to the Fed, in a bid to ‘solve’ the problems on the repo market.
Yes, we got locked up as they gave $4 Trillion to the Bank, that’s literally what happened. It was all sold as ‘panic due to Corona’, but the real ‘panic’ (in reality, it’s all orchestrated A to Z) was on Wall Street.
5. Several ‘packages have come through Congress since that bailout. Mnuchin gave Wall Street another Trillion. Biden has just signed a $3 Trillion deal, most of which goes directly to the filthy rich too. All in all, the Fed and the US Government have added $12 Trillion in new dollars to the System since September 2019.
6. As a result of this inflation the obvious is happening: rising prices. Especially in commodities. Everything is up 50% or more, lumber 180%. It will take a little time for these prices to translate in rising prices of all goods, but they will.
There’s also massive housing speculation. In Vancouver, Australia. Much of it is driven by China, which has expanded credit with an even greater amount than the Fed over the last few years. Some say as much $30 Trillion.
7. Much of the inflation goes to the Stock Exchange, resulting in the ridiculous ‘boom’ there, which is 100% totally artificial, and would not exist without the Fed.
Between September and December 2019, the S&P went down from 2905 to 2416. This must have been because of the disastrous liquidity squeeze in the shadow banking system that became apparent with that 10% repo market interest rate spike.
Then, because of QE, it started climbing like crazy again, all the way up to 3380. Next, it lost a full 1000 points in the week after the Lockdown started. Presumably because of ‘covid’, but it had nothing to do with that, it was the same problems in the financial system, for which they were providing already a Trillion per day on the repo market, and for which they conjured up that $ 4 Trillion bailout.
Since then, the S&P has risen to 4019 today. Another 600 point rise while the real economy is in shambles due to the Lockdown.
8. The result of all this is obvious: it has killed the Dollar. Just as ‘economist’/bankster agent Kyle Bass said they would do to ‘fix’ America’s finances back in 2011. Both its value, and its status. De-dollarization is ongoing and has been escalating. The already crumbling Petrodollar is not going to recover from this.
The IMF’s move confirms this: the new loans are in their SDRs, not in the usual Dollars. Washington’s dominance in the IMF is officially over. From now on, the IMF itself dominates.
BONDS
The latest news is that bond markets are now starting to show rising yields. Interest rates are rising. Those holding Treasuries are going to take a huge hit with high inflation, and they’re, belatedly, waking up to that fact. Rising yields are the natural result, but of course higher interest rates are crushing for debtors. That is the unsolvable (within the usurious financial paradigm) crucifix that the People are nailed upon: either inflation, or deflation. Or better, first inflation, then deflation. Classic boom bust creation by the Bankers, they’ve been doing this throughout Modernity.
Just last week, March 31st, the Fed, in a shock announcement, said they would not prolong a ‘short term’ measure they installed last year ‘to calm markets’, which involved looser demands for capital reserves for ‘financial institutions’. De facto this means Banks and hedge funds must hold higher capital reserves. And this definitely has tightening effects on money. In fact: it likely has serious consequences for lots of ‘distressed’ outfits on Wall Street, including the Mega Banks themselves. Remember, they wouldn’t lend each other just months ago, and they’re still all out on a limb, relying on eternal, and ever higher bailouts by the Fed.
It can’t be much of a coincidence, that immediately a major hedge fund, Archegos, collapsed.
It remains to be seen how far the Fed is willing to take this, but all bets are off. They’re capable of anything. They’re clearly on the war path, and destroying what’s left of American Hegemony, so it’s far from unlikely that they could be out for some serious blood.
If we have indeed witnessed the end of the Fed’s expansion, major defaults seem all but unavoidable. They simply can’t bail them all out all the time, even if they would want to.
CONCLUSION
This is it. What we’ve been discussing for two decades or more in the Alternative Media is now coming to pass.
The Petrodollar is officially over, and the IMF is creating their own World Reserve Currency, the Special Drawing Rights. They are no longer lending in Dollar, but in their own money. Washington no longer dominates the IMF, the IMF is now the morphing into the official World Central Bank.
Officially owned by all the Nations, but in reality owning all of them.
And let there be no mistake: if there’s a World Central Bank, and a World Reserve Currency, open World Government is not far away.
