The engineering industry goes in cycles:

  1. No one can get anything done, companies cannot produce cheap products, customers are angry things are always broken and nothing works.
  2. A company decides that maybe hiring the best and the brightest engineers is a good idea. So they offer engineers a fair wage but only compensate success.
  3. Flocks of engineers start working at the company. They build a culture of high trust and integrity. Profits soar. Wages go up. People hear about how much these engineers are making, and wonder why doctors don't get paid as much.
  4. Now the Chinese, Indians and others want that money, so they get certificates and degrees and get hired, pennies on the dollar, to do what the elite engineers were doing. One by one, the engineers are replaced with incompetence. Meanwhile, the good engineers decide that farming is a great alternative to engineering.
  5. Go back to step 1.

Yes.

Their birthrates are extraordinarily low.

Women don't get married until almost 30 years old. You can no longer raise a family in Seoul, and that's where the decent jobs are. And even those jobs are gone now.

It's almost impossible to survive in South Korea as a young person now.

Raise goats. Eat goats. Now you don't need money anymore.

A lot of people are "going Galt" and it became fashionable in 2008.

You ever wonder why airplanes are losing their doors? Because there are no longer enough competent workers to keep everything working anymore. Tell whitey that he's not wanted, and he goes and builds a homestead and eats homemade bacon.

I wonder what the capital gains tax on -$200k is? Asking for a friend.

Not enough.

They're going to need more ammo, too. If the taxpayers won't pay, maybe shooting them to death will make them pay. How do taxes work anyway?

Remember that the government says paying your taxes is voluntary. They can only get you for tax fraud if you LIE about paying your taxes.

But remember.. they have to know you have earned money and know where you live to get you. Stop making money. Stop working for money. Stop getting jobs that want you to fill out a W-2 or whatever. If you want some money, work as a contractor and make a small amount of money at a time, and completely avoid getting reported for taxes. Now the IRS doesn't know who you are, doesn't know if you have any money, and since you don't have a bank account, doesn't even know if you are spending money.

The best estimates are that only half of the gold was turned over.

I surmise that a lot more than half of the nation's gold disappeared overnight.

The government can tell you to turn over your gold.

They have to come and get it, and put themselves in your firing arc to do so. How many lives are they willing to spend for a few ounces of gold? How many people are willing to die for a government that will seize the assets of its people?

If you want to go this route, understand this: The US government has not been subject to the US constitution for a VERY long time. The government is controlled by foreign agents who are trying to destroy the fabric of our society. Do you think they are going to allow you or anyone else to bring order and law back?

The easiest way to stop paying taxes is to stop making money

Barter, my friend, barter.

Focus on the essentials.

How much do you think hillbillies in the Appalachians pay in taxes when they are trading goats for moonshine?

Summary: DEBT! As interest rates went up, farmers took greater risks and bigger investments. When profits didn't appear, they tried to sell their farms or machines, and couldn't cover their loans. Those who did not take loans were able to consolidate the cheap land and buy up the cheap machines. Today, we don't have a lot of small farmers, but a small number of very large farmers.

Remedy: The video doesn't go into this very deeply, but my proposal is pretty simple. First, new farmers can take advantage of regenerative techniques and farm with minimal or even no inputs. Second, never ever take loans.

New farmers can acquire land by leasing the land. Once you have the land, you can turn a profit with your hard work and ingenuity. If you leased the land and made a decent profit, you should be able to accumulate enough assets to eventually buy your own land.

People who own a lot of land should be leasing out that land to new farmers.

We can also have the federal government sell the land it is sitting on for homesteaders to live on and try their hand at farming.

Additionally, we can try to keep land prices low or at least growing slowly by kicking out foreign investors.

Historically cattle are a wise investment, a good indicator of wealth.

The ONE time we started spreading out west and tried to plow our fields and ended up killing the earth -- lessons learned. Don't do that.

Diversifying your investments is a good idea

Precious metals is not an investment, it's a hedge

It's much better for people who have not yet accumulated wealth to invest their time and energy building and buying things that will make them more wealth. Those who are already secure in their wealth generation may want to hedge against their investments with gold and silver.

IE, if the cattle prices fall, I may lose a lot of money on my cattle, but that's ok, I have reserves I can fall back on until cattle prices come back.

I prefer owning livestock over dead stock. Livestock makes baby livestock. Silver and gold, as far as I can tell, just sit there and don't reproduce.

It can happen here in the US

It's really easy:

  • Prosecute criminals, especially for petty crimes. Arrest jaywalkers and you're arresting violent offenders who skipped bail.
  • Don't release people on bail or otherwise if they don't show up for court. Hunt them down with bounty hunters and drag them to court and punish them severely.
  • Punish severe crimes severely. Murder = death. Rape = death.
  • Possibly bring back slavery as a form of punishment. If you steal, you become a slave until you have paid back what you stole. If you damage property, you become a slave until it is paid back.
  • People who self-identify as criminal get treated like a criminal.
  • Don't prosecute people who defend themselves and their neighbors from violent criminals. In fact, give them a reward.
  • Rioters get shot on sight. Looters get shot on sight.
  • Don't treat invaders and traitors as criminals. Shoot them on sight.

Do what we've always done -- seasonally adapt our eating habits according to what is available.

Regarding eggs, you can store eggs for a very long time if you learn how to do it like our ancestors did.

Pro-tip: ALL news is fake news. Do not believe what you see on TV. In fact, turn the TV off. Turn off all popular media. If it is popular, it is subverted.

Watching goats is way more interesting than anything in popular media.

That's true, but it also marks that voter as having voted in one or the other primary.

Now that they know whose ballots are coming in, they know how many votes they have to manufacture.

Back when they had polling stations, you can walk up and say you are anyone and by law the judges are required to hand you a ballot. You could even look at the book and point to someone and say "That's me!"

Now with mail-in voting, they don't even have to have a voter to cast votes for people.

America was founded by white christian patriots

Mostly true.

Some of the founders weren't very religious, but they did value liberty above all else.

All of them were positively savage by today's standard.

The founders were the sort of people who saw the blatant piracy happening against the British Empire and said "Good job. Keep going."

Why do you care?

Go find out what witches were actually doing

Go find out what pharmakeia really is

Go find out why the Bible warns us against it

It's all out there, despite the effort of a certain group to obfuscate the nature of true evil

Go learn what witchcraft and black magic really is.

Get back to me when you understand what it is all about and how it works.

It's as real as LSD.
