if the US government believed economic upheaval, resource scarcity, and large scale uprisings were inevitable, and their predictive models said the same, what infrastructure would they race to put in place to prepare to “protect the continuity of government”?

conspiracy hypothesis based on the idea, “the purpose of a system is what it does”… between January 2023, and January 2024, homelessness increased by 18% in the US. Local governments claim the reason for this is “lack of affordable housing”. But when they say this, what they mean is, government funded and controlled housing. But in reality, the real reason housing is so unaffordable is local government building codes. If you have difficulty believing this, you might want to do more research. I have been for the last 5 years, and the conclusion ive come to is that local government building codes are DESIGNED to make home building as expensive as possible, and make any alternative options illegal. Up to now, i have believed this was to maximize taxes extracted from people. But i am beginning to wonder if forcing up homeless numbers increases federal funding. we are all tired of hearing it, but there is a very serious problem with our government in the US.

is like to offer a special service to all of the people spending $2k on weighted carts to exercise with. you can come over and wind heavy wheelbarrows of gravel and dirt down narrow paths through the trees for free.

@Enki are there any podcasts that you know of that talk about things like RNS, FIPS, Meahtastic etc.?

making soup. wild oyster mushrooms, nettle tips, broad leaf plantain, onion, oregano, natural sourdough mini dumplings, cheddar. cumin, garlic, cayenne.

i want to live in a multicultural melting pot based around Liberty, personal responsibility, industriousness, generosity, and the golden rule. free from the idea that shared ethnicity is greater than shared values.

if Mexicans bought all the houses in your neighborhood, would you cry about it, and call ice, or learn spanish and have a party?

there is no higher energy density in the universe than in the soul of a 6 month old Australian Shepherd. tornados and nuclear bombs fear them.

if the power structures within the US government firmly believed that economic upheaval, resource scarcity, and violent uprisings were coming, what behaviors would you expect to see as they prepare to “preserve the continuity of government”?

the moral of this photo is, dont stage the tree to fall to the right during wind gusts.

eggs from the chickens, a crap ton of fresh oregano, sometimes some nettle sprouts, spices, yogurt, fresh sourdough cake. i eat this almost every morning, and dont get tired of it.

til, parts of the PNW have favorable conditions to grow tea. like actual Camellia sinensis tea. @David II any thoughts on this?

gonna grow a zucchini tree this year.

any day now i expect to hear a report that the washington monument has mysteriously started to tilt and lean toward the ground.

just finished listening to a 15 year old Corbett Report podcast episode that laid out the groundwork and the players of everything weve seen go down in the last 6 years. amazing.

listening to an old episode of the Corbett Report about the death of investigative journalist Danny Casolaro, and realizing the “Octopus” network he turned up around the Iran Contras scandal was probably Epstein’s network.

so what do we call this new religion that is emerging from the Matrix bros? what do you get when you combine scifi, the darwinian western monkey cult, expert class scientism, dmt, history channel ancient aliens, induced adhd, corrupt government ufo disclosures, and a lifetime of hollywood worldview programming? Roganism? Youtubeism? Nimrod 2.0?

i no longer see a value proposition in bitcoin outside of freedom money.

ive been loosely observing my power consumption over the last week. if i had to guess, i think it averages to around 300 watt hours per day, including the small chest freezer im using as a fridge, and the tiny clothes washer i’ve been using. that kind of blows my mind.

til, lightning converts atmospheric nitrogen, which is not absorbable by plants into nitrogen oxide which is carried into the ground by rain and becomes available to plants.
