Have you noticed?
…… that people who are awake, think about consciousness, truth seekers…. tend to have struggled with an addiction or alcoholism at some point in their lives. Arguably to be human is to get addicted to SOMETHING but I’m talking about people who are looking to fill a hole, who are usually kind and sensitive but then can become gruff and cruel sometimes - but if they are, the world sort of turned them that way since their underbelly is so soft and gentle. Tender folks.
They tend to be highly productive when sober, deep thinkers, relatively intelligent, and when they aren’t lashing back out at a world that hurt them, when they forgive, they are among the most giving and nurturing people.
These bright and talented individuals were frequently selected for gifted programs in elementary school and could do many things well. However they probably quit things often… or do what is expected of them begrudgingly. They don’t understand the sort of robotic actions in society and (think of Tim Leary’s The Others) they hate the “hows the weather?” elevator banter and long for a table to sit with close friends who want to ponder the deep truths of this reality and not talk about money. Oh yes, money. They’re usually not great with it or they don’t care much about it. Nice to have, but they will easily give away theirs as long as they have the basics.
Often the family’s black sheep, these individuals are willing to see many sides to a story and are not staunch in any one political pigeon hole. They are often the type of child who the parents will say “Bobby, he’s just different.”
Although, they are VERY idealistic and value justice deeply. Frequently firstborn children or the baby of many children, these people dance in the fray not linger at center. They have always felt “weird” and even when they are in the center with a ton of friends feel like outsiders. Never quite at home on earth, they have a pervasive sense of homesickness that confuses them. Their family, whom they love deeply, can feel like a foster family that is with them just for the time being. They struggle with impulse control and wanting life to be “fun”- the fact that we are slaves, drones, dawns on them at a young age and will often think things like “Think of all the hours I waste here” while in elementary school when all the other children never dare- doesn’t occur to them- to dream of the outside while they are seated at their tiny desks.
Perfectionists with black and white thinking, if they mess up a task they will often say “fuck it”, because they know they could have done it so well, once a little corner is garbled, Why bother?, right?
These people- addicts and Alcoholics (or an eating disorder, something self harming not harmful to others) are the type of people who want the world to just be nice and safe. They often work at jobs that are less challenging intellectually than what they are capable of. They have existential crisis-like thoughts about their life and have a deep and persistent feeling that they have a purpose, that they are “supposed” to do something great in this life, not in a narcissistic way, but in the way that they get nervous they have a calling that the daily grind is keeping them from.
These people…. do you know them?
I think you do. I think we are them. I'm kind of in a depressed state of mind. Sorry.
Some addictions are more so habits rather than addictions such as smoking cigarettes but alcoholism literally can kill people and at fairly young ages. Drugs can be bad because people will give up so many things in life for their drugs instead of building a solid life.
The DS, cabal, government, MSM, they all want us weak physically and mentally. This is more obvious with the constant bullshit with government saying things about certain foods and also pushing the most unhealthy options while claiming it to be most healthy.
Most people simply feel better mentally and even physically if they have enough money in life to live with as little stress as possible. Most people can't go and buy a new car because they cannot afford it. Many do not have the great credit that banks want for car loans and even home loans.
Biden and others want more housing that is not single family homes because single family homes typically are on a piece of land owned by the home owner. Government does not want us owning land. Government would prefer there to be national landlords that they can easily control.
Many apartment complexes and mobile home parks have one company that owns dozens all over the place. They want it to where we have to do what we're told or risk being homeless because if all the same type of places own all of the homes then moving out would just be kind of like changing masters, in a way.
Also, never ever believe for a second that a landlord cares about tenants. They might be nice but if you quit paying rent, they'd have you booted asap and not think twice about it. Many landlords don't even bother to clean up homes before renting them out because the demand for homes to rent is so high.
The demand for rentals is so high because the cost of purchasing a home, obtaining a mortgage is very expensive today. In many places, the cost or supposed home value has increased 4 or 5 times over the past 25 years but wages have not gone up to match those increases equally.
In the 90s you could easily rent places for $300, $350 or whatever but minimum wage at one point in the 90s was $4.25. I don't know offhand what minimum wage is right now but good luck ever finding places to rent for under $800. We can also get into those that are on disability, many of which only receiving $794 in most states.
Most landlords require tenants to earn 3 times in monthly income of what the monthly rent is. If you wanted to rent a place for $800 then in most instances you would need to earn at least $2,400 to barely be approved. If a person makes $15 per hour, after the typical amount of taxes taken from each paycheck, they would likely only take home between 1900 and 2000 for a month which would mean they could only get approved for maybe $650 for rent.
When you get into that price range, you're looking at tiny efficiencies barely big enough for 1 person to live very minimally. The part of all of this that is royally fucked up is that mortgages are extremely cheap because you can take out a 30 year mortgages on a house but not a mobile home.
Banks make it harder for people to be approved for a mortgage without great credit. Without the high credit score, a person will typically need to make a 20% down payment. An average house is going to cost over $200,000 so that's about $40,000 if 20% down payment is made.
Obama did cash for clunkers to force perfectly good cars to be crushed in exchange for I think it was $5,000 towards a new car with guaranteed approval. This caused many cars to be crushed and gone forever but this also caused people to take on car loans they shouldn't have which led to countless repos and with that countless credit scores tanking.
These DS criminal fucks always have a plan, things they do are well calculated. Q once saying future proves past is very evident when you look back and notice how obvious this all was but at the time nobody thought anything of it.
The DS has been attacking us from so many angles that even the best of us will get hit a few times. So you lose your car, house is foreclosed on, end up renting and taking a city bus. Maybe your job laid off people and you had to take a different job for less pay and maybe even no insurance which means you had to pay out of pocket.
This constant onslaught of things trying to literally kill us and destroy us will and has taken a toll mentally on countless people. The DS also wants gas cars gone because the common person can repair them without need of dealerships and we can stock up on gas.
If we are forced to buy or even worse, lease, electric cars then anytime there is a power issue with power companies then everyone is fucked.
All of these things can lead to addiction to cope with life's endless struggles. Young people can also be exposed to drugs etc for fun and get addicted that way. It's just a never ending attack on us from every possible angle.
The best thing anyone can do is just to do what you can, make the best of any given situation. If you cannot fix it today then don't let it stress you to death. This all began picking up the most speed under Bill Clinton when he made trade deals that ended up seriously wrecking the American job market.
Bush shit on us from a different direction with endless wars and deaths and chaos, and more. Obama began the official 16 year plan. So, looking back at it now I'll tell it this way or best I can right now.
Clinton weakened us financially through jobs.
Bush weakened us with wars and increase of gas prices.
Obama began the big push for green energy which can leave people without power, gas, transportation.
Hillary was supposed to be who finished the 16 year plan but Trump got in the way of that.
This decades long plan caused people to lose high paying jobs to foreign countries which strengthened countries that were weaker and weakened us. We saw craziness worldwide with fake terrorism, wars over oil fields and more. Many gas cars were crushed and removed and replaced with hybrids and now more full electric.
With the push for the joke green energy can cause massive power outages and cause America to be vulnerable for every other country that is not playing the green game to aide the UN to force America into the global government and global economy.
With all of this said, addiction is a coping mechanism but can be ditched if a person has better options that they are made aware of. It's up to all of us to help each other when we can to keep the DS from breaking us all down.
my mum bought her house for 25k outright. I have 30k saved and it's not even enough for a deposit here in London.
I'm almost 30 and still live with my mum. I flat out refuse to throw money away renting.
My parents bought their house I think it was 1992 for $23k and it's currently worth over $100k but it's out in the county well outside of the city so prices are cheaper. It's not the value of homes going up though, it's our governments all over the world causing inflation so the value of our currencies has gone down throughout the decades but the value of a house has not gone up really.
A couple of years ago when I moved from north Florida to south Florida, I decided to rent until I'm decided on what city to stay in for decades. It is a big scam but landlords get rich off of people, some of which are struggling to get by. If a landlord owns and rents out 100 homes for an average rent of $800 then that landlord is getting $80,000 per month and likely spends less than $5,000 on maintenance etc.
It's all a big fucking criminal scam though. Walmart marks up the price of some things in their store as high as 2,000% above what they paid, sometimes even more. I understand they need to make profit to stay in business but they go way too far as does most, if not all, stores.
If you buy a TV for $500, you can bet on it that the store only paid $25 to $50 for it. Online shopping was supposed to reduce that cost by bypassing local stores and ordering directly from warehouses but of course they don't provide cheaper prices online.
If you can gain access to manufacturers, many of which are in China, you can buy things way cheaper than what you will see in a store. It would take a month or longer to get the product but it would be way cheaper. Retail likes to call it a convenience fee of sort for being able to go to a store and buy something immediately.
That kind of money can get you a beauty of a double wide on a few acres free and clear where I live.
How do you feel about humidity, heat, and chiggers?
Wow, where do you live then?
I'm not someone who does well with heat at all. 25c in London's summer does me in lol
What is a chigger?
Oh shit that's only 77f. We've hit that early sping lol. Outsider work in the summer is best at sun up and sundown. Noon to four, it's misery. You folks have the rain, we get the droughts that last two months.
Chiggers are little red bug that live in tall grass. Caught me by surprise our first year here. Hateful little monsters.

Living cheap isn't without it's sacrifices. Real pretty though. Way slower lifestyle.
Incredible fundamental analysis of the housing market. Your and my cynicism on the subject is an overlapping circle.
My wife, out of nowhere, started researching who owns all the 4 story apartment complexes going up around the area (4 stories being the highest developers are allowed to build using cheap matchstick construction [whoosh ?]). Not much competition in that sector, to put it non-conspiratorially.
I've also read mention of money launderers overpaying for real estate as they don't care about the loss and make it up in the long run on rental income. I suspect that's a big part of the current housing crunch, precipated by the extremely suspicious ~2008 "financial crisis".
These people want us dead.
It's just a tiny part of the deep rabbit hole. The parent companies of all the companies we know of are typically unknown to the average person. It's all a big scam, a grift, just a nasty global network of money laundering and more.
This is just one example of many. Restaurant Brands International owns Burger King, Popeyes, and more restaurant chains but nobody has heard of Restaurant Brands International. Restaurant Brands International is an unknown company that magically is able to spend endless billions to buy and place all these other companies under their umbrella.
It goes on and on and on with different companies under different umbrellas. This does not mean that the companies we know and may spend money at, are bad but those companies hiding in the shadows out of the public eye are very suspect.
All these umbrella companies seem to own so many other companies that most people thought were independent. Those people that are able to own or build apartment complexes are often people that make back room deals with politicians that make sure this or that developer has approval for whatever the want.
It's such an insane tangled web worldwide with many of these places.
You're absolutely right, Brother. Glad your eyes are open.
Need more of your photos of Nature's Beauty while we're at it.
Have a good night!
Back in 2010 the math stopped working. Long story short, to the dismay of everyone we knew, we decided to stop trying to pay the mortgage and instead buy a camper. Took three years to land somewhere. But we did. Own our land clear too. Scary, but necessary change. When it's cabin in the woods time, it just is. Someday we will even get past the point of having to haul water in. Oh to dream, and then see the dream coming true.
My grandmother's last words to us were "You're all going to die"
Haven't yet. Loving the purpose that homesteading gives to life. Always something that needs doing. I can't corporate drone anymore. I just can't.
A few years ago I decided to give up my parent's house that was to go to me, not because of the mortgage but because of all the family drama it brought with it. My wife and I moved over 200 miles south in FL so we've been renting until we decide on a city to settle in but it's likely we'll head about 150 miles further south in FL since we love the hot weather.
We have thought about buying a camper but that would require a vehicle capable of towing it. I know paying rent is one of the biggest money scams around but sometimes in life we do things we'd rather not do for the sake of having a home while looking to improve things in life.
Ain't free will great!
Edit- we had the little car behind an old motorhome. Trailers tend to get heavy when loaded with your everything, and a heavy trailer will try to kill you if you don't have enough rig in front of it.
The thought has crossed my mind to just buy some land out in the county where it's cheap and put something simple on it. The problem is the cost of a home, even a motorhome, can get expensive. I can buy a lot out in the county for a few thousand and would have deal with water and septic but that's not a big deal.
The big deal comes with the home to put on it. Sometimes all of that cost combined makes it more appealing to buy a home that's on land already. I'm only 42 so sometimes it just feels like I take things day by day lately.
