Lots of things that are going on right now are screaming that world war three is just around the corner, and that it WILL go nuclear. For example from The Trumpet “Russia’s Northern Fleet Armed With Nuclear Weapons for First Time in 30 Years“.

Then we have this; In a speech at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris told attendees “The United States has formally determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity.” Video of that below.

And then there is the face that the U.S. blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline just like Biden said that they would. As explained in this article “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline” by Seymour Hersh.

And here is Biden promising to have Nord Stream blown up.

And here is by take on what in my opinion is coming… soon!

Also, please check out this article “U.S. Nuclear Target Map (Do You Live In a Death Zone?)” as well as these recommended books…

Well, folks since I uploaded my video this morning about the train derailment and deadly chemical spill in Ohio I’ve gotten several notifications of yet another chemical incident… this one in Oklahoma!

A chemical fire in a storage tanker in an Oklahoma port has become the latest in a series of incidents across the U.S. in a matter of days.

Just before 9 a.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, fire crews were alerted to the blaze at the Port of Catoosa, to the northeast of Tulsa. The port was evacuated, and a ‘shelter in place’ order given to nearby residents.

It is unclear what caused the fire, and whether it was toxic. Port officials told local media that they were unsure of what the tanker had contained.

Meanwhile, back in Ohio EPA chief says to “trust the government“. Yeah, that always works well… not. Tell that to all of the families of people who have “died suddenly“.

Do you trust the government, the mainstream media, or big corporations? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks.

The truth is stranger than fiction… and this is far more truth than fiction! Something BIG is coming and I have a bad feeling that it’s not going to be good. The final stage of the takeover by the globalist cabal? They always tell you what they are going to do before they do it.

Credible reports are that there will soon be 500,000 plus Russian military crossing the Ukraine border. The Nazis in Ukraine are probably wishing that they hadn’t been torturing, raping, and killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine for the last eight years about now .

Probably wish they hadn’t listened to the war mongers in the US and NATO and had took Putin’s peace deal at the start.

But hey, the US wants to overthrow Putin so they can gain control of Russia and their resources by putting in their own puppet leader there like they did in Ukraine.

The plan was to bleed Russia militarily in Ukraine and to send back waves of dead Russians to their families in Russia and to bleed Russia financially via sanctions…

With the hope that doing so would cause the Russian people to turn on Putin and oust him so that the U.S. and NATO could then put in their own puppet leader like they did in Ukraine.

NATO and the U.S. couldn’t care less about Ukraine or the people there and would gladly sacrifice the entire population of Ukraine to implement their plans for regime change in Russia…

However, Russia IS WINNING and are tired of playing and are going to take and occupy most if not ALL of Ukraine with this next huge offensive.

Yeah, some of us know what’s actually going on…

What will the U.S., NATO, and their globalist cult leaders do when this happens… that remains to be seen… however, we are about to find out if they will let Ukraine fall to Russia or if they will expand the war to an open military conflict between NATO and Russia that’s led by the corrupt U.S. federal government and deep state…

What do you think?

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,

The decline of a currency’s world reserve status is often a long process rife with denials. There are numerous economic “experts” out there that have been dismissing any and all warnings of dollar collapse for years. They just don’t get it, or they don’t want to get it. The idea that the US currency could ever be dethroned as the defacto global trade mechanism is impossible in their minds.

One of the key pillars keeping the dollar in place as the world reserve is its petro-status, and this factor is often held up as the reason why the Greenback cannot fail. The other argument is that the dollar is backed by the full force of the US military, and the US military is backed by the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve – In other words, the dollar is backed by…the dollar; it’s a very circular and naive position.

These sentiments are not only pervasive among mainstream economists, they are also all over the place within the alternative media. I suspect the main hang-up for liberty movement analysts is the notion that the globalist establishment would ever allow the dollar or the US economy to fail. Isn’t the dollar system their “golden goose”?

The answer is no, it is NOT their golden goose. The dollar is just another stepping stone towards their goal of a one-world economy and a one-world currency. They have killed the world reserve status of other currencies in the past, why wouldn’t they do the same to the dollar?

Globalist white papers and essays specifically outline the need for a diminished role for the US currency as well as a decline in the American economy in order to make way for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and a new global currency system controlled by the IMF. I warned about this years go, and my position has always been that the derailment of the dollar would likely start with the end of its petro status.

In 2017 I published an article titled ‘Saudi Coup Signals War And The New World Order Reset’. I noted at the time that the sudden power shift over to crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman indicated a change in Saudi Arabia’s relationship to the US. I stated that:

“To understand how drastic this coup has been, consider this — for decades Saudi Kings maintained political balance by doling out vital power positions to separate, carefully chosen successors. Positions such as Defense Minister, the Interior Ministry and the head of the National Guard. Today, Mohammed Bin Salman controls all three positions. Foreign policy, defense matters, oil and economic decisions and social changes are now all in the hands of one man.”

The rise of MBS was backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a fund comprised of trillions of dollars supplied by globalists within Carlyle Group (Bush family, etc.), Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and Blackrock. MBS garnered the favor of the globalists for one specific reason – He openly supported their “Vision For 2030”, a plan for the dismantling of “fossil fuel” based energy and the implementation of carbon controls. Yes, that’s right, the head of Saudi Arabia is backing the eventual end of oil based energy, and part of that includes the end of the dollar as the petro currency.

In exchange for their cooperation, the Saudis are being given access to ESG-like funding as well as access to AI advancements and the so-called “digital economy.”  It sounds crazy, but there is much talk of AI developments to cure numerous health problems and extend lifespan.  With those kinds of promises, it’s not surprising that Saudi elites would be willing to dump the dollar and even oil.

In 2017 I noted that:

“I believe the next phase of the global economic reset will begin in part with the breaking of petrodollar dominance. An important element of my analysis on the strategic shift away from the petrodollar has been the symbiosis between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has been the single most important key to the dollar remaining as the petrocurrency from the very beginning.”

I believed that the threat to petro status would ultimately be spurred on by a proxy war between East and West:

“World economic war is the real name of the game here, as the globalists play puppeteers to East and West. It is a geopolitical crisis they will have created to engineer public support for a solution they predetermined.”

Back then I thought that such a proxy war would be initiated in the Middle East, possibly in Iran. However, it’s clear that Ukraine is the powderkeg the globalists have chosen, at least for now, with Taiwan being the next shoe to drop.

In the years since I made these predictions the relationship between Saudi Arabia, Russia and China has grown very close. Arms deals and energy deals are becoming a mainstay of trade and this has led to a quiet but steady distancing of the Saudis from the dollar. This past week, the dominoes were set in motion for dollar collapse when Saudi Arabia announced at Davos that they are now willing to trade oil in alternative currencies.

In response, Xi Jinping pledged to ramp up efforts to promote the use of the Chinese yuan in energy deals. This falls in line with another article I wrote in 2017 titled ‘The Economic End Game Continues,’ in which I described how conflict with Eastern nations (China and Russia) would be exploited to create a catalyst for the end of the dollar’s petro status.

The importance of the Saudi announcement cannot be overstated; this is the beginning of the end of the dollar. The dollar’s world reserve status is largely dependent on its petro-status. Without one, you cannot have the other. This is almost the exact same dynamic that led to the implosion of the British Sterling decades ago as the global petro currency which resulted in the rise of the dollar to take its place.

This time, though, it will not be a single foreign currency that takes on the role of world reserve, it will be a basket currency system controlled by the IMF called Special Drawing Rights, along with a single global digital currency that is yet to be named but is now under development.

The consequences of the loss of reserve status will be devastating to the US economy. It is the only glue holding our system together – The ability to defer inflation by exporting it overseas is a superpower only the US enjoys. The Fed can print money perpetually if it wants to in order to fund the government or prop up US markets, as long as foreign central banks and corporate banks are willing to absorb dollars as a tool for global trade. If the dollar is no longer the primary international trade mechanism, the trillions upon trillions of dollars the Fed has created from thin air over the years will all come flooding back to the US through various avenues, and hyperinflation (or hyperstagflation) will be the result.

This dynamic is already in play, as foreign holders of US debt and dollars have been dumping them at record pace since 2017. The process continues at a time when the Federal Reserve is cutting it’s balance sheet and raising interest rates, which means there is no longer a buyer of last resort.

This may be why multiple foreign central banks have renewed their purchases of gold reserves and are once again stockpiling precious metals. They seem to be well aware of what is about to happen to the dollar, while the American public is kept in the dark.

The effects of the decline of the dollar may not be immediately felt, or become obvious for another year or two. What will happen is consistent inflation on top of the high prices we are already dealing with. Meaning, the Federal Reserve will continue to hold interest rates higher and prices will barely budge or they may climb in spite of monetary tightening. Even in the face of a major recessionary contraction, which I predict will be triggered starting in April, prices will STILL remain higher.

All the while the mainstream media and government economists will say they have “no idea” why inflation is so persistent, and that “nobody could have seen this coming.” Some of us saw it coming, but only because we accept the reality that the dollar’s days are numbered.

I didn’t think that I’d like riding an electric bike but here we are and I now own two… this one was delivered a few days ago and I just got it put together today. Assembly took me about 45-minutes from the time I opened the box to putting the seat on.

The bike is the Jasion EB7 2.0 Electric Bike (click here to check the current price on Amazon, or at the companies website) ,and it does look sharp. Looking forward to putting some miles on this one…

We all know that life is stressful and can at times be EXTREMELY stressful! And some people deal with stress much better than others. However, for me it depends on the trigger even, in other words it depends upon what is going on in my life that determines my stress level…

For example someone in my close family had a medical issue show up recently, and it’s still ongoing, and that is one of my BIGGEST stress triggers, and yes, I’ve been stressed to the max lately.

Thankfully, it’s looking like it might not be life threatening, however, we have to get another test done and see the results before knowing for certain. So still stressful but not as much right now…

And then I’ve been looking at a property with two mobile homes and 20-acres… that’s in Kentucky. Ninety-five percent of my kin folks like in Kentucky actually. And while I have a good place and tank God for it, I have to admit that having 20-acres and move level area to work with beats my 3-acres of steep hillside…

However, I’ve messed up before when it’s came to choosing, buying and moving to a new property and fear doing it again and I’m not getting any younger so I don’t have but maybe one more move in me at this point.

And then there is the state of the economy, the housing market, and the possibility that I couldn’t sell the one that I have now to pay off the other… since I DO NOT want to be in any debt!

And we all know that the world is basically unraveling and the string is about to break! Corruption in government, the economy, open border, supply chain issues, the whole WOKE agenda, the globalist take over, the AI threat, world war three, and on and on… it’s a jungle out there!

And let’s not forget the stress of dealing with YouTube’s “community guidelines” and trolls and even harassment from people who think that they are hidden behind a fake name and profile photo.

Then there is the stress of running an online business with no help what-so-ever.  I come up with the ideas, the content, do the editing, comment moderation… everything, since this is a one man operation and have to do it over and over and over again.

And after doing all of that I still get the trolls and welfare preppers who think that I should send them free copies of my books at my expense! And then they get pissed when I say no, and processed to go on the attack and do everything in their power to cause me trouble and to destroy everything that I’ve worked so hard to do.

So, how do I deal with all of this stress you ask… that’s a good question.

First off prayer helps a lot. I pray for strength and guidance. Staying busy and taking walks are also a huge help. And I take two herbs that work great when I take bother together… Nature’s Way Valerian Root and Nature’s Way Premium Herbal St. John’s Wort.

I take one of each three times a day and it certainly helps with my stress and anxiety. How do you deal with your stress? Let me know in the comments below and maybe you can help others who read your comment to use what you’ve learned to help themselves.

As I get older I am less likely to follow trends and popularity contests than ever before. This is definitely the case with firearms. Having learned that quality in firearms can be had from many manufacturers and with many designs, owning a firearm just because Tom, Dick or Mary down the street do, lost its appeal years back.

The Ruger 10/22 is a solid firearm and while my experiences may be abnormal, they should not detract from its value.

Ruger as a company has a difficult recent history, while they have been innovators in firearms since 1949. Bill Ruger designed the first 22lr handgun based on the Japanese Nambu, German Luger, and the Colt Woodsman. This design became known as the Ruger standard, its progeny becoming the MkII and MkIII. The 10/22 was put into production in 1964 and has remained in production since that time.

The first rifle I shot was a 10/22 built-in 1965 or 1966. My first memories of shooting were having my father assisting me in holding his venerable 10/22 as we shot at a truck tire with a piece of cardboard in it that had been rolled across the barnyard, I was 3 or maybe 4 years old at the time. This 10/22 had a fully wooden stock, stock sights, and action.

There was no internet at the time and mail order gun parts simply did not exist. If a firearm did not work well, you fixed it yourself or if you were fortunate enough to have a gunsmith that knew how to work on these new fangled guns, you took it too them.

My first 10/22 was purchased when I turned 22, the internet had started to become a real thing to use and extra bits and pieces were becoming more available. Like my fathers 10/22, the magazines and rifle were extremely picky with ammunition types.

Unlike my fathers using CCI stingers did not fix my issues. In fact, after 2 or 3 years with this particular rifle, I decided to sell it and move on. It was a decade later that I ended up purchasing another version.

Ruger 10/22 Top 5 jams and stovepipe causes and fixes

While this particular rifle was much better, on the whole, the magazines it came with were dismal failures. After spending almost $60 replacing two magazines at the time, I finally had a decently running 22lr. When I say decent I mean decent, accounting for ammunition failures with inexpensive 22lr the rifle itself had several springs replaced and a new firing pin installed before it became reliable enough to use in a local rimfire match.

Ruger 10/22 comes stock in several configurations these days, however, for many years it came with the following only.

• Gold bead front sight (not easy to use except in paper punching)
• Adjustable rear leaf sight
• Solid wood full-length single piece stock
• 10 round rotary box magazine
• Blowback action
• 18” barrel with a 1:16 RH twist (non-threaded)
• Weight 5lbs, overall length 37”

Accuracy is something that I value, and a rifle should be more accurate than a pistol, my MkII handgun was very accurate from 0-50 yards and the 10/22 (all 3 I have used or owned) were also very accurate with even sub-par ammunition. 50 yard 10 round groups saw 1.5” groupings as a normal day.

This aspect is one I have never been able to complain about. When it worked, the 10/22 my versions, were more than accurate enough for squirrels, rabbits, and feral dogs. I personally took hundreds of these small game animals over the years and after moving to the Southwest border, a few dozen feral dogs, cats, and even javelina, all with the 10/22 and CCI stingers.

These days there are several dozen brands of 22lr, at the time I began using it you were limited to whichever brands were available from the local hardware store or farm and supply store. In small town, Illinois pre-1986 this meant CCI, Remington and Winchester ammunition in 50 count boxes. These were the days before big box stores reduced the quality along with the price.

Admittedly 22lr as a rimfire loading will never be quite as reliable as good centerfire ammunition. I can say that Eley, CCI, and Aguila have always been as reliable as low to mid ranged center fire loadings for myself. As of 2008, I had been using Aguila and Eley almost exclusively for my 22lr firearms. When you match the ammunition to the firearm, choosing reliability and accuracy as benchmarks, you will quickly find your firearm to be your favorite regardless brand name.

Reliability in my experience has been a mixed bag with the Ruger 10/22. Until the mid to late 90s magazines were factory 10 round magazines. Butler Creek made some less expensive versions, my first experience with these was around 1994 or so. They did not work well, in comparison today’s KCI Glock magazines have a better success rate than the early Butler Creek 10/22 magazines. Currently, the most reliable “extra-capacity” magazines for the Ruger 10/22 are the Ruger BX Series Magazine.

Other issues that have been seen in numerous 10/22 rifles, feeding was and remains ammunition dependent. Standard velocity rounds in the older models had a relatively high rate of failure, double feeds, cycling issues and more. With today’s offerings, you have enough non-Ruger components on the market to make an entire “10/22” without even using Ruger parts on the gun. This has led to even more failures, unfortunately.

Ruger 10/22 Disassembly Assembly Including Barrel

Most of the issues I saw personally were magazine related, secondary only too ammunition related failures. Again, if you match good quality 22lr ammunition to the rifle and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Swapping out stocks, barrels and more will begin causing issues and should be avoided unless you have a specific goal you are headed for and the gunsmithing abilities to do the swaps properly. Like working on a car, virtually anyone can change the oil, some of us can change brakes, very few of us can do these things quickly and right.

I have never seen a 10/22 in any configuration (minus the very expensive Volquartsen configuration professionally installed and tuned) that could keep pace with a CZ 455 22lr or similar. This being noted, I have personally cut playing cards at 25 feet or so with a stock 10/22 with stock sights. There is a definable point at which accuracy requirements become more expensive than you will ever use.

Most of us shoot paper behind our house, for this purpose and for hunting all manner of small game the stock 10/22 is very well suited. Certainly, I have found and own or use far more reliable, more accurate firearms. This specific firearm is, however, well made and when matched to good ammunition with solid magazines can be more than reliable enough for trap lines, prepping and more.

If you read many of the firearms reviews I have written you will quickly see that I am not a fan of most aftermarket add-ons applied today. For this rifle, there are just 3 items you can and should replace to make it a solid training, plinking, and small game hunting rifle.

Ruger 10/22 Accessories

• Solid two point sling
• Tech-Sights are a must (follow this link to Amazom.com, I use these on several rifles currently owned.)
• Spare magazines

For 22lr firearms I have not seen a need for expensive scopes and bi-pods, even though you can take game past 100 yards with a 22lr, the reality is, the round is best for game under 50 yards. Unless you have a firm rest for your firearm or know how to use a sling wrap appropriate for sitting, standing or laying down; a scope can be detrimental.

If you decide to add a red dot at some point, this option has become more viable in recent years’ thanks to vastly improved metallurgy, construction practices optics and battery life. It is not necessary for the 10/22 in most cases.

If you decide to purchase one of these rifles make sure you clean it well and lubricate properly before taking it to the range. To do this you need to safety check the firearm, ensuring it is completely unloaded and safe to work on. For added safety remove all ammunition from the room. Visually and digitally check the action.

Rotate the rifle so that the bottom is facing upwards. Using solid gunsmithing tools/screwdriver remove the screws from in front of the trigger guard. Loosen the screw holding the band on front of the stock, your model may not have this band. Remove the band carefully and the stock will come off rather easily. Once you do this you can access the important parts for a solid cleaning session.

Ruger 10/22 Rifle Cleaning

Breaking it down further than this is at best difficult without 4 hands or a true gunsmithing set up. Once you clean this firearm you will want to lubricate it. Again I suggest using Ballistol or Hoppes oil for this firearm. Wipe the pieces down with a clean cotton cloth that has a small amount of lubricant on it. Put the rifle back together.

Cycle the action back and anchor it open. Rotate the gun until the ejection port is facing upwards. Drop 3 drops of oil into the receiver. Using the cloth from earlier you can wipe the interior down again. Let the bolt fall closed and work the bolt several times to help the lubricant get into all the areas necessary for proper function. This is a very basic approach that will allow solid function of the firearm.

As with all the articles, please comment and let me know if or what I missed while putting this together. Being a human I regularly make mistakes and if you find one rest assured, it will not be the last.

Please watch and share… It’s extremely important.

Why do we never believe them? For centuries, the global elite have broadcast their intentions to depopulate the world – even to the point of carving them into stone. And yet… we never seem to believe them. But it’s happening now!

I remember my Shotokan instructor telling me, “no matter how good you are or how many trophies you win, on the street you never fight fair”, good advice and words I took to heart.

A “real fight” without referees and judges calls for a different mindset than a competition between two athletes squaring off in a ring.

In a real fight anything goes and your very survival may depend on you not playing by the “rules” if you fight to survive you fight dirty.

Strike First

I remember reading an old Chinese proverb that said “he who strikes first wins”, never be afraid to throw the first punch.

Strike without warning, allowing no time for preparation or defense for your adversary. This is called a sucker punch – if you must fight, it is a powerful weapon, use it.

Strike Often

After throwing the first strike don’t just stand there – keep striking until your target is no longer a threat.

Forget all those Chuck Norris movies where he allows his opponent to get back up on their feet after being knock down. If he goes down, finish the job while he is still in this most vulnerable position.

Be Violent

This one should be obvious. Never fight “nice” be violent, fight like your life depends on it, because it does. You’re not fighting to get the other person to submit. You’re fighting to save you skin.

Bite, gouge the eyes, pull hair, rip at the throat, attack the groin etc. Fight life a crazed madman.

Weapons Of Opportunity

Anytime you’re in a situation where there is a chance of aggression, start looking for anything that could be used as a weapon. These are called weapons of opportunity and are usually within arms reach, you just need to think outside the box.

Common items such as a pens, keys, rocks, ash trays or even a rolled up magazine can be used as effective weapons to attack vulnerable parts of the body.

Use A Distraction

Humans naturally protect their eyes, most will flinch, cover or even close them as a protective measure against perceived danger. We can use this to our advantage.

Throwing anything toward the eyes will move your opponent off guard and into a vulnerable position allowing you opportunity for an effective attack.
