What did you do to prep this week?

September 7, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

If you’ve been with me for a long time, then you probably remember my weekly (every Saturday) post on my old website The Survivalist Blog. The post was titled “What Did You Do to Prep This Week,” and it was very popular with readers. At its peak, it received an average of 600 comments.

I’ve thought about doing something similar on YouTube. However, I’m hesitant because Google owns YouTube, and they track everything you do and say through their AI system. My concern is about the privacy and safety of my subscribers on YouTube.

On the other hand, this is my website, and Google doesn’t own it. It offers much more privacy than anything owned by Google. The downside is that people seem to have lost interest in reading and prefer watching videos, mostly for entertainment, I think.

Anyway, please share your thoughts below. And remember, when commenting anywhere, even here, never post your name or any personal information.

So, let’s get on with it… What did I do to prep this week?

Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with a bulging disc in my back for the past few weeks, which has limited my ability to do heavy lifting and digging. Thankfully, it seems to be improving, and I’m starting to move around with less pain. So, I haven’t made much progress with projects around the house, but I did manage to put back some more preps over the past few weeks.

As you might have heard, Berkey water filters have had a lot of issues and have refused to get NSF/ANSI 42 Certification, among other problems. I no longer promote Berkey water filters and won’t until they resolve their issues. However, I didn’t want to throw away the Berkey stainless steel chambers, so I decided to buy replacement filters that are NSF/ANSI 42 Certified and far more cost-effective.

These are the ones I bought and tested, and they are as good or better than the original Berkey filters, with the added bonus of being NSF/ANSI 42 Certified.

I also bought two more 150-round boxes of green-tip 5.56×45 ammo at my local sporting goods store, as well as three 50-round boxes of CCI Stinger .22LR ammo and a 25-round box of 12-gauge #6 shot at my local Walmart.

Additionally, I added two Glock 17 magazines to my growing collection. Stocking up on full-capacity firearm magazines is extremely important! Why? Because the federal government is eager to ban these full-capacity magazines, so you need to stock up on as many as you can afford.

I also bought two cases of canned food from the same Walmart, as well as some canning lids for my home canning.

Now this was an exciting purchase, that I’m REALLY happy with! I bought this and put it on my Mossberg 590A1… and I love it!

Last but not least, I bought the READY HOUR 4-Week Emergency Food Supply and two Augason Farms Butter Powder to replace the one I opened and started using for cooking. “Use one, buy two” is my motto when it comes to prepping.

Well, that’s it for me. What did you do to prep this week? Also, let me know how long you’ve been with me and if you remember the original “What Did You Do to Prep This Week” post. Thanks!

The Significance of the Number 33 in Secret Societies and Black Magic

September 3, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

From looking at the comments on my video about “Covid-19” it’s obvious that a lot of people didn’t understand what I was trying to do with the video… some thought It was recent news reports, others thought I was actually worried about the “virus” or a future outbreak…

Nope, none of the above. I was trying to show people that it was planned and who planned it… noting all of the 33-cases. The number 33 is the key.  Here is my video:

The Significance of the Number 33 in Secret Societies and Black Magic

The number 33 is often associated with secret societies and black magic, where it carries deep esoteric meanings tied to power, spiritual mastery, and hidden knowledge. In these contexts, the number is believed to represent a gateway to higher consciousness and, in some interpretations, a direct connection to darker forces.

Secret Societies

Within secret societies, particularly those with occult influences, the number 33 is considered a symbol of ultimate wisdom and enlightenment. It represents the culmination of one’s journey through the ranks, often indicating that a member has reached the highest level of initiation and understanding. The significance of 33 is particularly prominent in Freemasonry, where the 33rd degree is the pinnacle of the Scottish Rite. Achieving this degree is seen as a recognition of exceptional dedication to the principles and mysteries of the order.

However, beyond Freemasonry, the number 33 is also thought to symbolize the balance between the material and spiritual worlds. It’s a number that secret societies often associate with the hidden power structures that influence world events, reflecting the belief that those who reach this level of understanding can manipulate reality itself.

Black Magic

In the realm of black magic, the number 33 is sometimes linked to the invocation of dark forces and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Occultists who engage in black magic may see 33 as a powerful tool for tapping into energies that lie beyond the typical moral or ethical boundaries. The number is thought to be a key that unlocks the secrets of the universe, allowing practitioners to harness and direct these energies toward their own ends—whether for personal gain, influence, or control over others.

The use of the number 33 in black magic rituals can symbolize the practitioner’s mastery over both the spiritual and material realms, and their willingness to delve into areas that others might consider dangerous or taboo. It is often viewed as a representation of the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge, power, and, in some cases, immortality.

Conclusion

In secret societies and black magic, the number 33 is much more than a mere numeral; it is a profound symbol of esoteric wisdom, hidden power, and spiritual mastery. Whether viewed as a pathway to enlightenment or a tool for dark rituals, 33 occupies a central place in the beliefs and practices of those who seek to transcend ordinary existence and tap into the deeper, often secret, currents of the universe.

And if you haven’t watched it yet, here is the other video that I posted yesterday…

If you like this website and my YouTube videos and want to help, then the best way to do that is to buy my books, or become a channel member on YouTube. NOTE: If you become a Trailblazer member you will get all kinds of awesome perks, PLUS Full Access to My 188-Book Self-Reliance Library 📚.

I don’t understand how stating facts can make people so angry

August 6, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

I don’t understand how stating facts can make people so angry… I guess people don’t want their preconceived views challenged even with facts. People want to think of the current modern day Israel as the Israel in the Old Testament and envision the majority of the population on their knees praying and worshiping all day.

However, that isn’t the reality… I wish it was… but it’s not. I’m posting this because I want people to know the truth even if that truth is inconvenient to some…

The establishment of the modern state of Israel occurred in 1948, following the United Nations’ plan to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. This led to a war involving neighboring Arab countries and the displacement of many Palestinians, some of whom moved into what is now known as Gaza and the West Bank. Both areas are currently under varying degrees of Israeli control, with Gaza often described as having restrictive conditions.

Tel Aviv, Israel, is known for being one of the Middle East’s most welcoming cities for LGBTQIA+ residents and visitors, and it hosts one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world each year. Source.

Israel also offers state-funded abortions, making its abortion laws among the most liberal globally. Source.

According to the Pew Research Center’s 2020 survey, about 27% of Jews identify as having no religion… shocking I know.

In Judaism, Jesus Christ is not recognized as the Messiah or as divine, which contrasts with Christianity’s core belief that Jesus is the son of God and that, as Jesus said in the New Testament, “the only way to the Father is through me.” This theological difference highlights the distinct religious perspectives between Judaism and Christianity.

There have been reports of some attempts by Jewish individuals or groups to pass laws in Israel restricting missionary activities, including those of Christians. Source.

And, I know a lot of people are going to say it doesn’t matter Israel is Gods chosen and that strip of desert is Gods favorite place on this entire earth that he made because people from that region wrote it down as such on scrolls that were later translated into what we now know as the Bible…

However, the New Testament states:

  • Galatians 3:28 (NIV): “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”In this passage, Paul emphasizes that in Christ, traditional social and ethnic distinctions are transcended, and all believers are equal.
  • Romans 10:12 (NIV): “For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile— the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him.”Paul points out that salvation and God’s blessings are available to everyone, regardless of ethnic or cultural background.
  • Ephesians 2:14-16 (NIV): “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.”This passage reflects Paul’s teaching that Jesus’ death and resurrection have broken down the divisions between Jews and Gentiles, creating a unified community in Christ.

John 14:6: “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

And, no I don’t want Israel to be attacked or for them to attack anyone else… I wish that they could all live in peace, however, a lot of Christians seem to worship the nation state thinking it represents God when that isn’t the case. They are just as sinful and corrupt as the U.S. and the world are. I know it’s not popular but then facts that go against preconceived beliefs seldom are.

It’s amazing that SO MANY people are still clueless about geoengineering and and chemtrails.

Something strange about the Donald J Trump assassination attempt

July 17, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

I’ve been here for over an hour watching footage from the attempted assassination on Donald J Trump and after watching it multiple times I noticed something strange. He was hit in the right ear, he grabs at his ear with his right hand, goes down to the ground, is covered by SS agents, and I would assume that he would be in pain after being hit with a 5.56 round and that he would have been holding pressure against his ear because of the pain and to instinctively stop the bleeding. However, when he gets up and pumps his fist at the crowd, and opens his hand towards the crown and camera… I can’t see any blood on his hand, palm, or on the white shirt sleeve, just his ear and side of his face.

Strange… I don’t know what happened… all I’m saying is I don’t see blood where it should be.

Our Future According to AI (It’s Not Good)

May 19, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

I had a “conversation” with ChatGPT about the U.S. and were we are heading if the U.S. and G7 lost it’s hegemony in world politics and the dollar as the worlds reserve currency? And that IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING. Below you can see my promps to the AI and the AI response.
Me: What would it look like if the U.S. and G7 lost it’s hegemony in world politics and the dollar as the worlds reserve currency?
ChatGPT

If the U.S. and the G7 lost their hegemony in world politics and the dollar ceased to be the world’s reserve currency, the global landscape would undergo significant changes:

Geopolitical Shifts

  1. Rise of New Powers: Countries like China, India, and possibly Russia could fill the power vacuum, leading to a multipolar world. Regional powers might exert more influence within their respective spheres.
  2. Alliances and Conflicts: New alliances could form, and existing ones might weaken. Increased competition among rising powers could lead to regional conflicts and shifting geopolitical dynamics.
  3. Reduced U.S. Influence: U.S. influence in global institutions such as the United Nations, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund would likely diminish. Other countries might seek to reform these institutions to better reflect the new balance of power.

Economic Impacts

  1. Currency Volatility: Without the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, other currencies (e.g., the euro, yuan, or a basket of currencies) might take its place. This could lead to increased volatility in global financial markets as countries adjust to the new standard.
  2. Trade Dynamics: Trade agreements and practices could shift, with emerging economies playing a more significant role. The U.S. might face challenges in maintaining favorable trade terms.
  3. Economic Policies: The U.S. might have to adopt more stringent fiscal and monetary policies to maintain economic stability, as its ability to run large deficits without immediate consequences would be curtailed.

Financial Markets

  1. Interest Rates and Inflation: The U.S. could face higher interest rates and inflation as it loses the benefit of borrowing cheaply. This might slow economic growth and increase the cost of capital.
  2. Investment Flows: Global investment flows could realign towards emerging markets, leading to changes in the global investment landscape. The U.S. might see reduced foreign investment and capital inflows.

Social and Cultural Implications

  1. National Identity: A decline in global dominance could lead to introspection and shifts in national identity within the U.S. and G7 countries, affecting domestic politics and societal values.
  2. Global Perceptions: The global perception of Western values and governance models might shift, with alternative models gaining traction and influence.

Military and Security

  1. Defense Spending: The U.S. and G7 countries might need to reevaluate their defense spending and military strategies, possibly leading to a reduction in overseas military presence.
  2. Security Alliances: NATO and other security alliances might undergo significant changes, with increased contributions from other member countries or the emergence of new security pacts.

Technological and Cultural Influence

  1. Innovation Hubs: Innovation and technological leadership might shift to new regions, affecting global trends in technology, media, and culture.
  2. Cultural Exports: The influence of U.S. and Western culture might wane, with other cultures gaining prominence in global media and entertainment.

Overall, the loss of hegemony by the U.S. and the G7 and the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency would usher in a period of significant adjustment and uncertainty, with profound impacts on global politics, economics, and society.

Me: How would it affect employment and individuals standard of living in the U.S.?
ChatGPT

The loss of U.S. hegemony and the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency would likely have significant effects on employment and the standard of living in the United States:

Employment

  1. Job Market Volatility: Increased economic uncertainty and potential shifts in trade relationships could lead to job market volatility. Certain industries might contract while others could grow, leading to a reallocation of labor.
  2. Manufacturing and Export Jobs: If the U.S. dollar depreciates, American-made goods could become more competitive abroad, potentially boosting manufacturing and export-related jobs. However, this could be offset by increased costs of imported raw materials.
  3. Service Sector Jobs: Financial services, technology, and other sectors that benefited from the dollar’s reserve status might face challenges, leading to job losses or relocations to other financial centers.
  4. Wage Pressure: Inflation and higher interest rates might put pressure on wages. While some sectors may see wage increases, others might experience stagnation or declines, especially if companies face higher operating costs.

Standard of Living

  1. Inflation: The depreciation of the dollar could lead to higher prices for imported goods, contributing to inflation. This would reduce purchasing power, affecting the cost of living for individuals and families.
  2. Interest Rates: Higher interest rates could increase the cost of borrowing for mortgages, car loans, and credit cards, impacting household budgets and reducing disposable income.
  3. Savings and Investments: Inflation and economic uncertainty could erode the value of savings and investments. Retirement funds and other long-term investments might be affected, leading to financial insecurity for many individuals.
  4. Healthcare and Education Costs: Rising inflation could exacerbate existing issues with the affordability of healthcare and education, putting further strain on household finances.
  5. Public Services: Reduced government revenue from taxes could lead to cuts in public services and social programs, affecting access to healthcare, education, and other essential services.
  6. Income Inequality: Economic disruptions could widen the gap between rich and poor. Wealthier individuals with diversified investments might weather the changes better, while lower-income households could struggle more with rising costs and job instability.

Social and Psychological Impacts

  1. Consumer Confidence: Economic uncertainty could lead to reduced consumer confidence, affecting spending behavior and potentially leading to a slowdown in economic growth.
  2. Mental Health: Financial stress and job insecurity could contribute to increased mental health issues, impacting overall well-being and productivity.
  3. Migration: Some individuals might seek opportunities abroad if economic conditions deteriorate significantly, leading to a potential brain drain.
Me: Would the U.S. go to war to try and save its hegemony in world politics and the dollar as the worlds reserve currency?
ChatGPT

The question of whether the U.S. would go to war to try to save its hegemony and the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency is complex and involves numerous factors. While it’s impossible to predict with certainty, several considerations can be outlined:

Historical Context

  1. Past Precedents: Historically, great powers have sometimes resorted to military action to maintain their status and influence. However, such decisions are influenced by a variety of factors including the likelihood of success, international norms, and the potential costs involved.
  2. Cold War: During the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in numerous proxy wars but avoided direct confrontation to prevent mutually assured destruction.

Current Considerations

  1. Nuclear Deterrence: The presence of nuclear weapons among major powers, including the U.S., China, and Russia, acts as a significant deterrent against direct military conflict. The potential consequences of a nuclear war make such a scenario highly undesirable.
  2. Economic Interdependence: The global economy is highly interconnected. A major war could have catastrophic economic consequences not just for the involved parties, but globally. This interdependence serves as a deterrent against large-scale conflict.
  3. Domestic Considerations: Public opinion and political considerations within the U.S. would play a crucial role. The American public may not support a war, especially if it is seen as being fought for economic dominance rather than for direct national security threats.
  4. International Law and Norms: International laws and norms, along with institutions like the United Nations, serve to mediate conflicts and provide forums for resolving disputes without resorting to war.

Alternative Strategies

  1. Diplomacy: The U.S. is likely to employ diplomatic efforts to address challenges to its hegemony. This includes negotiating trade deals, forming alliances, and participating in international organizations to maintain influence.
  2. Economic Measures: Sanctions, tariffs, and other economic measures can be used to exert pressure on rival nations without resorting to military conflict.
  3. Technological and Economic Competitiveness: Investing in technological innovation, education, and economic reforms can help maintain the U.S.’s competitive edge and influence in the global arena.

Potential for Limited Conflicts

  1. Proxy Wars: While a full-scale war is unlikely, the U.S. might engage in or support proxy conflicts in regions where it has strategic interests, similar to its involvement in the Middle East and other areas.
  2. Military Posturing: Showcasing military strength through exercises, presence in strategic locations, and alliances can serve as a deterrent without leading to direct conflict.

Conclusion

While the U.S. might engage in various measures to maintain its global influence and the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, an all-out war is unlikely due to the catastrophic potential consequences. Instead, a combination of diplomacy, economic strategies, and limited military actions are more probable methods for addressing such challenges. The ultimate approach would depend on the specific circumstances and the balance of risks and benefits involved.

Me: How would all of this affect the crime rate in the U.S. as well as poverty and homelessness?
ChatGPT

The loss of U.S. hegemony and the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency could have significant social consequences, potentially affecting crime rates, poverty, and homelessness. Here are some potential impacts:

Crime Rate

  1. Economic Strain: Economic instability, inflation, and higher unemployment rates could lead to an increase in crime, particularly property crimes such as theft and burglary, as individuals struggle to make ends meet.
  2. Social Disruption: Economic hardship often correlates with social unrest and a rise in violent crime. Communities facing significant economic decline may see higher rates of domestic violence, gang activity, and drug-related offenses.
  3. Reduced Funding for Law Enforcement: Economic difficulties might lead to cuts in public spending, including funding for law enforcement, which could hamper crime prevention and response efforts.

Poverty

  1. Increased Poverty Rates: Economic instability, job losses, and higher costs of living due to inflation could push more people into poverty. The middle class might shrink, and income inequality could widen.
  2. Welfare Strain: A rise in poverty would put additional strain on social welfare programs. If government revenues decline due to economic issues, there could be cuts to social services, exacerbating poverty.
  3. Erosion of Savings: Inflation and economic instability could erode personal savings, making it harder for individuals to cope with financial emergencies and increasing the risk of falling into poverty.

Homelessness

  1. Rising Homelessness: Higher unemployment rates, combined with increasing housing costs due to inflation, could lead to more people losing their homes. This would be particularly acute in areas with already high housing costs.
  2. Affordable Housing Shortage: Economic challenges might slow down or halt new affordable housing projects, worsening the housing crisis and leading to higher rates of homelessness.
  3. Support Services: Cuts in public spending could reduce the availability of support services for homeless individuals, such as shelters, food programs, and healthcare, making it harder for them to escape homelessness.

Overall Social Impact

  1. Mental Health: Economic and social stress can lead to increased mental health issues, which in turn can contribute to crime, poverty, and homelessness. Communities might face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
  2. Community Cohesion: Economic hardship and social instability can weaken community cohesion, leading to a breakdown in social support networks that traditionally help mitigate the impacts of poverty and crime.

In summary, the loss of U.S. hegemony and the dollar’s reserve currency status could lead to significant economic and social challenges, potentially increasing crime rates, poverty, and homelessness…

Me: Okay, one last question how would the fact that there have been approximately 20-30 million “migrants” who have came into the U.S. over the past few years affect life, crime, homelessness, standard of living? More people and less jobs and available resources…
ChatGPT

The influx of 20-30 million migrants over a short period, combined with the loss of U.S. hegemony and the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, could have significant impacts on life, crime, homelessness, and the standard of living in the U.S. Here are some potential effects:

Life and Standard of Living

  1. Job Market Competition: An increase in the labor force without a corresponding increase in job opportunities could lead to higher unemployment rates, particularly in sectors where migrants are more likely to seek work. This could depress wages, particularly for low-skilled jobs, and increase job competition.
  2. Strain on Services: Public services such as healthcare, education, and social welfare programs might become strained as they attempt to accommodate the needs of a larger population. This could lead to longer wait times, reduced quality of services, and increased costs for residents.
  3. Housing Market: Increased demand for housing could drive up rental and property prices, exacerbating the affordable housing crisis. This could lead to higher rates of overcrowding and put additional pressure on infrastructure and utilities.
  4. Cultural Integration: The sudden increase in the migrant population might lead to challenges in cultural integration, potentially causing social tension and stress on community resources. However, it could also enrich cultural diversity and bring new skills and perspectives to the workforce.

Crime Rate

  1. Crime Dynamics: While migrants as a group are not inherently more likely to commit crimes, increased economic strain and competition for resources can lead to higher crime rates. This could include property crimes, gang activity, and other offenses linked to economic desperation.
  2. Social Tension: Rapid demographic changes can lead to social tension and xenophobia, potentially resulting in hate crimes and social unrest. Efforts to ensure community cohesion and integration are essential to mitigate these risks.

Homelessness

  1. Increased Homelessness: Higher housing costs and competition for affordable housing could lead to an increase in homelessness. Migrants might be particularly vulnerable if they lack access to social safety nets or affordable housing options.
  2. Pressure on Shelters: Homeless shelters and support services might face increased demand, leading to overcrowding and reduced capacity to assist those in need. This could strain resources and reduce the effectiveness of homelessness prevention programs.

Poverty

  1. Rising Poverty Rates: Increased competition for jobs and resources could push more people, both migrants and native-born residents, into poverty. This could exacerbate existing income inequality and create new pockets of poverty, particularly in urban areas with high migrant populations.
  2. Resource Allocation: Government resources might need to be reallocated to support migrant communities, potentially leading to reduced funding for other programs aimed at poverty alleviation and economic support for the broader population.

In summary, the significant influx of migrants, coupled with economic challenges from the loss of U.S. hegemony, could lead to increased competition for jobs and resources, potentially affecting crime rates, homelessness, and the standard of living.

Me: How should individuals prepare for this type of event?
ChatGPT

Preparing for a potential decline in U.S. hegemony, the loss of the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, and the socio-economic impacts of significant migration requires a combination of financial, practical, and community-based strategies. Here are some steps individuals can take to prepare:

Financial Preparation

  1. Diversify Investments: Spread your investments across various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, real estate, precious metals, and foreign currencies, to mitigate risk.
  2. Emergency Fund: Build and maintain an emergency fund with sufficient savings to cover at least 6-12 months of living expenses. This provides a safety net in case of job loss or economic instability.
  3. Debt Management: Pay down high-interest debt to reduce financial vulnerability. Avoid taking on new debt if possible, particularly in uncertain economic times.
  4. Income Streams: Develop multiple income streams to reduce reliance on a single source. This could include side businesses, freelance work, or passive income investments.

Practical Skills and Resources

  1. Skill Development: Acquire skills that are in demand regardless of economic conditions, such as healthcare, information technology, trades (e.g., plumbing, electrical), and sustainable farming.
  2. Self-Sufficiency: Learn skills related to self-sufficiency, such as gardening, food preservation, basic carpentry, and first aid. These skills can reduce reliance on external systems.
  3. Preparedness Supplies: Stockpile essential supplies, including non-perishable food, water, medical supplies, and other necessities. Consider creating a preparedness plan for emergencies.
  4. Housing Stability: Secure stable housing, whether through home ownership or long-term rental agreements. If possible, invest in home improvements that increase energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.

Community and Social Strategies

  1. Build Networks: Develop strong community networks and support systems. Engage with local community groups, neighbors, and organizations that can provide mutual aid and support.
  2. Local Economy Support: Support local businesses and participate in local economies. This strengthens community resilience and reduces dependence on global supply chains.
  3. Civic Engagement: Stay informed about local and national policies, and participate in civic activities. Advocate for policies that support economic stability, social services, and community resilience.

Health and Well-being

  1. Physical Health: Maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep. Good physical health can improve resilience to stress and economic hardship.
  2. Mental Health: Prioritize mental health by developing coping strategies, seeking support when needed, and engaging in activities that reduce stress and promote well-being.

Long-Term Planning

  1. Education and Training: Invest in education and training for yourself and your family to stay competitive in a changing job market. Focus on fields that are likely to remain in demand.
  2. Retirement Planning: Continue to plan for retirement, but be flexible and adjust your strategy as needed based on economic conditions and potential changes in the value of retirement savings.

Contingency Planning

  1. Relocation Consideration: Evaluate the potential need to relocate to areas with more stable economies, lower costs of living, or better job opportunities. Have a plan in place for a potential move.
  2. Legal Documentation: Ensure that all legal documents, such as wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, are up to date. Consider the implications of potential economic changes on these documents.

By taking these proactive steps, individuals can better prepare for the potential economic and social impacts of a decline in U.S. hegemony and other related challenges. Preparation can help mitigate risks and provide a greater sense of security and resilience in uncertain times.

We need to get our priorities straight 🇺🇸

May 8, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

The U.S. is bickering about Israel and Gaza, meanwhile our own border remains wide open, the government is corrupt, the justice system is corrupt, morality is in crisis, there’s a $34 trillion national debt, over $1 trillion in personal credit card debt, and little Johnny can’t read and don’t know which restroom to use. I’d say we need to get our priorities straight. 🇺🇸

YouTube Is At It Again! Check Your Subscription & Support My Channel!

April 2, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing great. I’ve got a quick favor to ask because something strange seems to be happening with YouTube. Some of you told me that you’ve been unexpectedly unsubscribed from my channel and that you’re not getting alerts when I post new videos. Weird, right?

So, if you’ve got a minute, could you check if you’re still subscribed? It’s a big help to make sure you don’t miss out on any new videos.

Also, YouTube’s been making it tough for creators like me by not letting some videos be monetized. It’s been a bit of a challenge to keep things running smoothly.

If you like what I do and want to help out, there are a couple of ways. You could check out my books, which I think you’ll enjoy. Or, you could become a channel member for $4.99 a month. It’s a great way to support the channel, and every bit helps a ton.

Thanks so much for being part of this journey with me. Your support means everything, and I’m excited to keep sharing more videos with you.

Take care,

People will fight to stay in the matrix while thinking they are free

March 16, 2024 M.D. Creekmore

I’m fully convinced that many conservatives and Second Amendment supporters would back Donald Trump even if he came out and said he supported an assault weapons ban and red flag gun confiscation. They would say he changed his mind and is now pro-gun, or that he really didn’t say what he said, or that he’s trying to play 3D chess and that it’s all part of his master plan to drain the swamp, or some other nonsense.

By the way, he has said that he was for an ‘assault’ weapons ban and red flag gun confiscation, and he did enact the bump stock ban while he was in office. See my post here with video proof right out of Donald Trump’s mouth: ‘Take the guns first and worry about due process later,’ as he snidely makes fun of the NRA. And yes, this was during his presidential tenure.
