Absolutely.

With this collapse coming of course opportunities will appear

You will be valuable as will all trades men and trades women.

We'll have the opportunity to salvage homes and all that's in them that folks will be loosing soon.

All while trying to protect ourselves from the INVASION at the southern and northern borders .

Many of these folks coming in are here to kill us.

Considering how many "natives" still seem oblivious to what sure looks like a looming storm, their lack of preparedness has to be part of the planning equation.

Oh ya 100%.

My Gramps who went through two WWs last century and came to CHINADA with 5 kids and suitcases and thrived here taught us REAL HISTORY.

He told us many folks didn't believe the Germans were a problem even as their neighbors disappeared never to be seen again.

This is what will happen to us I believe.

It already is as certain folks in the freedom fight are picked off and lawfaired until they are broke and destroyed.

J6 and our 4 Coutts truckers still in remand with no charges for nearly two years now.

These families are destroyed.

This is how it's done Gramps said.

Same exact playbook because it's the same exact people.

Lots of EXPOSURE happening though.

TPTB are idiots and we are coming for them.

As far as lack of preparedness that's a problem for still 90% plus I think.

We have no food shortage here at all so far.

Black boxes like those found in aircraft have been installed in autos for a few decades now that allow law enforcement and insurance investigators to inspect to know what the driver controls were doing before an accident, the LEO subpoena power expanded to inspect for investigations that don't even involve accidents long ago, as well. And too few of us said anything negative about it, wasn't for us, we're law-abiding!

But there is a black market of auto technicians who disable such devices. And who's services will be in high demand the more people realize the control over movement governments are taking. It could prove to be a very lucrative career move. The job hazard of any illegal enterprise will command a premium.

I remember when drug dealers, murderers, rapists, child molesters and thieves used to populate our prisons. Now they are beautified, celebrated, lauded, installed as authority figures across the nation.

While those who speak their minds freely, make political memes, petition their government for grievances, demand election security and transparency, refuse to wear masks, refuse to take dangerous poisons, work as auto mechanics to preserve a vehicle's freedom of movement, collect rainwater, share natural health and wellness remedies with others, denounce pornographic drag shows in elementary schools, help their children suffering from gender dysphoria reject sterilization and genital mutilation, protect their lives and property from attackers and thieves, oppose illegal immigration and commit a host of other "offenses" are beginning to populate our prisons. In five years they'll (we'll) probably make up the majority of the incarcerated/sterilized/euthanized "criminals" in our nation.

What happens when we actually allow the inmates to run the asylum. But there's more of us, for now. We had better stand up and reject all of the controls. Disable their surveillance with wire cutters and spray paint wherever we can. They're doing it in Europe where they can. We must be like them. Or we will be slaves to the psychopaths and sociopaths who've seized power.

And they are starting it off here with the “safety” feature centered on drunk drivers, that she mentions at the outset. The liberals are all in for that one, implying that anyone against such a measure is reckless, irresponsible and in the pocket of vested interests.

Safety is the biggest scam in the books. That's how they blockaded Nuclear power which they despise, they used the safety, safety scam. Or covid, our imprisonment is for our own safety.

Expand full comment

More than a scam, it’s a means to and cover for oppression. As for nuclear power, the scam is that it’s “green.” Fukushima, anyone? Those plants are wicked expensive to run which is why new ones require massive infusions of public money. Also, no one has solved the Yucca Mountain conundrum, that is, how to get rid of the so-called waste water. Radioactive poison.

Expand full comment

Nope, nuclear power is the greenest of all energy tech, by far, actually. Virtually zero emissions. Fukushima, the worst disaster possible for a commercial NPP, 3 meltdowns and ZERO deaths. No energy tech on the planet has anywhere near that low death rate. And Fukushima was an easily avoidable screwup, that should never of happened. You live and learn, we don't give up on air travel because of air crashes that kill 750 people. Or 3000 people if you believe the 9/11 tale. Or 13M people/yr due to combustion fuel emissions.

You saying they are "wicked expensive" means nothing because you nothing about it. The latest build at UAE, starting from scratch, 5.6 GWe, is the lowest cost new energy, full lifecycle on the planet. And the highest EROI. And every tom, dick and harry has solved your Yucca mountain, NRC boondoggle. Don't talk nonsense. And you don't know what you are talking about. "radioactive waste water" has nothing whatsoever to do with Yucca mountain. You don't know even the basics. The so-called "radioactive waste water" was a shitload of tritiated water at Fukushima by every iota of logic should have just been dumped in the ocean, a trivial addition to the tritium already naturally in the water, which is trivial in radioactivity compared to the natural K40 in your own body. While every wind turbine, gas & oil well and coal ash releases vastly more radioisotopes to the environment per unit energy produced.

Son, learn first, then talk.

No one is monitoring the cancer deaths resulting from the Fukushima nightmare, nor, for that matter, the leaks as well as legal release of radioactive waste into waterways. For example, such waste has been routinely dumped into Lake Michigan. No doubt toxic sludge is green, green like slime that will eat your brain. And all vaccines are safe and effective.

Expand full comment

Yes, they are monitoring cancer deaths, that is nonsense, they have the most in depth data on that than for ANY other carcinogen, by a huge margin. Yes, coal, oil, gas and wind/solar industries release far more radioisotopes to the environment than nuclear does. Nobody cares about that. And that's just a trivial portion of the carcinogens, heavy metals, mutagens, PAHs, Dioxins, particulates, teratogens, poisons, pollutants, smog that they release to the environment of which Nuclear emits negligible amounts.

And what is this "green toxic sludge". A guy whose main source of Nuclear information is The Simpsons. Nuclear waste is a vitrified solid as hard as steel.

The people touting vaccines are the exact same people touting wind & solar while trying to ban Nuclear power. The ruling elites despise Nuclear Power and blockaded it for the past 50yrs. Get the facts.

And there’s a whole generation of parents who parented in a way that they have removed all risk for their kids… in the name of ‘safety’ … so many kids don’t know what it is to experience adversity of any kind because parents have very specifically managed their risk taking and discomfort

So when the government says- I’ll solve this problem for you… that generation of kids transitioning into young adulthood will just be relieved

Literally makes my skin crawl when I hear parents say, ‘ I just want my kid happy’ … it’s the ruin of kids today.

My daughter is in college

And I actually had two moms… the moms of my daughters roommates- contact me wanting the parents- to mediate a roommate conflict.

(State)Safety First, Citizen!

I'm a car guy, and need to write an entire post about this (or series) because these articles are a bit vague and it's far worse than what they're describing. Bottom line, these systems are easily abused, easily hacked (think China, Russia, North Korea, or even ransomware to regain access to your own car), and will inevitably malfunction and kill people.

First, to illustrate a general problem with this kind of tech - I'm using a app from my insurance company to monitor my driving in exchange for a discount. I can turn it on or off whenever I want, and it's only for 60 days. Last year I said no, but this year rates went up 30% across the board (no tickets, no claims, just Bidenomics, house went up too) and I need the discount. The problem is, my city has roundabouts, and every time I go through a roundabout - no matter how slow - it marks me down as swerving (hallmark of a drunk driver). Ugh.

Now I have to wonder, is this going into a database somewhere?

But as to the kill switch, OF COURSE it's going to go off accidentally and unexpectedly. You'll be on the highway, your car will turn off, and you'll get rear ended.

More specifically, the kill switch had multiple proposals and I'm unclear which version went through (the articles were vague). One version shuts off your vehicle if you're driving erratically (such as going through one of my roundabouts). But all of the various proposals included the ability for cops to use a remote control and turn off your car.

Now is a good opportunity to remind everyone about the trucker protests (which they wouldn't have to worry about any more), stalker cops, people racing to the emergency room, all sorts of opportunities for mistakes & abuse.

But the kill switch is actually a spinoff of larger plan regarding OBD3. California is working hard to get it mandated, but nationally I guess they couldn't wait.

For those who don't know, that little port in your car where the mechanic plugs in the computer (usually under the steering wheel) is called an OBD port, or more accurately, an OBD2 port. They've been in cars since 1996, but newer cars have gotten much fancier with these - it's not just check engine lights any more, you can reset the battery, the alarm system, the sunroof, some cars have hundreds of features that can be controlled with the OBD.

Up until now the OBD has been a tool for dealerships and mechanics, but the plan for the next generation is to make it a tool for the state.

So far the discussions on OBD3 have been wi-fi or bluetooth, but chances are they'll eventually go with 5G. So every car in the country will be emitting 5G, with or without your consent. At least they're not charging you for the cancer, that's a free bonus.

Anyway, when you drive by a sensor, they can check your emissions and shut down your car if you don't pass. They can disable your car remotely while parked in your driveway or garage. Cops or meter maids can stand outside a parking garage with their scanner, and see who's been speeding, or who has expired tags. They can access the driver information and automatically mail tickets to everyone in the parking garage, through a wall or whatever, no need for searches. They can lock or unlock doors or trunks remotely, for searches etc. So can hackers.

This is passing in California no matter what. But we need to make sure it doesn't pass federally, and we need to work on the state level to pass laws preventing this nonsense, like Florida, Texas, Missouri, etc are doing with vaccine mandates.

The legislative ground work was cemented over the last 4 years. There is now yearly mandatory checks to register your car over a certain age. If it doesnt pass, not only cant you register it, it becomes slotted for destruction. There are ways to hold on to the older cars but they are purposefully becoming harder and exhorbitantly expensive.

Combine the "kill switch", the speed restraint, the forced model upgrades, the insurance IRL link up, the digital ID AND the "smart streetlighting" (see whistleblower re new blue lights and driver "incapacitation" functionality), and the digital, open air, panoptican prison for the masses, is complete.

Fyi- the investment in "prison technology and infrastructure" has skyrocketed in the last 4 years.🤨🤔😐

"How they plan to use our cars to keep us trapped, and under absolute surveillance"? Mark, they're already doing that with our "Smart" phones -- each and everyone one of us is carrying around an itty-bitty telescreen!

They've had bluetooth in cars for a long time now. They estimate "Time to Road XYZ " based on it. Of course they would never use that data for other things LOL.

U can’t drive legally without a license so if that is trackable and traceable then leaving your cellphone at home will not keep them from tracking you.

They are watching every vehicle in real-time and know by scanning license plates - if not facial recognition - where everyone one is.

Soon it will be illegal to not keep a cellphone on your person at all times, prior to an enforced implantable, would be my guess.

There are other ways internet-connected cars can be used. Does anyone remember this one?

In a September 2016, Vladimir Putin's official car (the President was not in the car at the time) crashed head on in Moscow, when it was rammed by a Mercedes that suddenly swerved across from the other driving direction at high speed on Kutuzovsky Avenue, an 8-lane densely trafficked freeway

Paramedics arrived at the scene but announced Mr Putin’s chauffeur had been killed instantly. The driver, named only as MK, was said to be Mr Putin’s favourite chauffeur and had 40 years of experience as an official driver.

The driver of the Mercedes escaped with injuries. He said he suddenly lost control of his vehicle while driving normally, leading to speculations that the car's computer system might have an inbuilt backdoor that could be used by foreign intelligence services.

It seems to be memory-holed from YouTube

Good point- entirely plausible they could have targeted a few vehicles here and there to bottleneck the escape routes.

Horrible, excruciating deaths. The monsters who did this knew exactly what they were doing and who they were doing it to. They burned down the houses and infrastructure with scalar EMF weaponry and lasers and coordinated with on the ground local arsonist teams to ensure all the specific targeted lots were covered.

The tech to control drivers has been in cars for many years. Read the owners manual. So far, it has not been politically acceptable to allow insurers and most western governments to use it in the ways they would like, as detailed by Lilly. It would take an extremely knowledgeable and capable engineer to both disable the surveillance features and still allow the vehicle to operate. Plus the authorities would know about the modifications if they cared to. I first noticed this incredible surveillance capacity in Turkey about 15 years ago. Our small bus was pulled over at a routine traffic stop. The driver flipped open the dash and printed off a lengthy report of his vehicle’s activities including speeds and locations, etc. The print was handed over to the officers and presumably any violations were noted and fined. I imagine the technology has advanced substantially since. No wonder those classic cars sell so high at auction!
