SURVIVAL: SELF-SUFFICIENCY is a key attribute

PRINCIPLES OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY
From the long-running and oft-quoted The Mcalvany Intelligence Advisor

  • Change the way you look at everything. Rethink your entire lifestyle.
  • Develop discernment about people.
  • When you invest, invest first in the right people.
  • Look at yourself honestly, and ascertain your strengths and your weaknesses.
  • Seek the counsel of others you trust.
  • Find like-minded people who can be part of a mutual support group with whom you can cooperate.
  • Find alternate methods for doing everything.
  • Develop an instinct for what doesn’t feel right. No matter how good something looks or sounds on the surface, go with your gut feeling, with your instinct, with your intuition.
  • Eliminate non-essentials from your life. Eliminate all time wasters and money wasters, and things you don’t need – i.e. clothes, furniture, junk, etc. Eliminate television from your life.
  • Simplify your lifestyle – learn to say ‘no’ to things or activities which do not make you self-sufficient. Learn to please God and yourself, and not other people.
  • Develop physical, mental and spiritual disciplines.
  • Learn to treat everything as if it were irreplaceable.
  • Buy things that will last, even if they cost more.
  • Acquire tools that do not depend upon electric power.
  • Learn to spend time alone with yourself in total silence – think, reflect, reminisce, and plan [or strategize] in silence.
  • Learn to spend time alone with yourself and your family, apart from superficial entertainment and distractions.
  • Learn something from every situation you are in – everything you hear, see, touch, or feel has a lesson in it. Learn a principle from every mistake you make, from everyday life situations.
  • Make sure your trust is in the Lord and not your own preparedness. Pattern your preparedness according to the guidance of the Lord. Listen to what the Lord puts in your heart – don’t use only your reasoning power.
  • Learn to enjoy simple pleasures from the smallest things – have a measure of joy and happiness that doesn’t come from creature comforts or entertainment.
  • Store up memories for times of isolation or separation from your loved ones.
  • Establish priorities for all of life [i.e. relationship, needs, present needs, future needs.] Set goals for areas you’ll be proficient or self-sufficient in. Set a schedule or timeline based on money and time you can invest in self-sufficiency.
  • Examine the concept of civil disobedience [from the Bible and history.] At what point should the people of Egypt have said ‘no’ to killing the male babies in Moses’ day? At what point should the people of colonial America have said ‘no’ to King George? At what point should the people of Germany have said ‘no’ to Hitler? At what point do we say ‘no’ to despots in our day – when they take over money, our property, our guns, our children, our freedom? Decide what is your action point – when do you move to civil disobedience? [For many throughout history – it was when evil leaders handed down edicts that were directly contrary to God’s Word or commands.] Don’t set your action point too early or too quickly – nor too late or never. Think through and calculate a strategy – then act on it.
  • Learn to ask the right questions in every situation. [In ‘Operation Waco,’ nobody asked the right questions.]
  • Bring orderliness into your life. If you live in disorder, it will pull you down; it will break your focus. Think focus versus distraction. Eliminate the distractions from your life.
  • Self-sufficiency [or survival] principles are learned on a day-to-day basis and must be practical.
  • Always have more than one way to escape, more than one way to do something. Have a plan B and a plan C.
  • Everyday life [and especially crisis] requires ‘up-front systems’ and ‘back-up systems’ if the first line of defense or ‘up-front systems fails.
  • Real education [or learning] takes place only when change occurs in our attitudes, actions, and way of life.
  • Wisdom is making practical applications of what you know. It is not enough to know everything you need to know. It will only serve you and others if practical application is made of that knowledge.
  • Fix in your own mind the truth about your capabilities. In a crisis situation, this principle will keep you from cockiness [or overconfidence] and will provide you with confidence.
  • Decide ahead of time before a crisis arrives, how you will react in a given situation so that you are not swayed by the circumstances, the situation, or your emotions.
  • Beware of being spread too thin in your life. Decide on the few things in life that you must do and do them well. Think focus versus distraction. Make sure that unimportant, non-essential distractions don’t keep you from achieving your important objectives.
  • Learn to quit wasting things. Be a good steward of all that God provides.
  • Buy an extra one of everything you use regularly and set the extra one aside for the time when such items may be difficult or impossible to obtain.
  • In every situation, train yourself to look for what doesn’t fit, for what’s out of place, for what doesn’t look right.
  • Teach your children [and yourself] that they are not obligated to give information to a stranger. You don’t have to answer questions [not even to a government official] that are none of their business.
  • Sell or give away things you do not use or need. Consider giving away or selling 50% of your ‘stuff,’ [i.e. the non-essentials.] Simplify and streamline your life, lifestyle and possessions.
  • Find someone who lived through the Great Depression and learn from them how they were self-sufficient, how they made do with little, and how they found joy and contentment in the midst of hard times. An excellent book on this subject is We Had Everything But Money: Priceless Memories of the Great Depression From Strong People Who Tell In Their Own Words What It Was Like When Banks Closed and Hearts Opened.

*** end quote ***

I particularly like “Real education [or learning] takes place only when change occurs in our attitudes, actions, and way of life.”

My life would have been a lot different if I’d have made changes in my “attitude”.

Too late, we learn.  

Sigh!

DISCOURAGING: We are now a welfare nation.

Reader H.L. wrote:

“So now we learn that one in eight Americans are receiving SNAP benefits. Another nail in our coffin. Those who are working support many others who are not and most could work at something. We are also an aging nation, as many families choose to not have children, or just one or two. So they are supporting with their taxes more and more people who could but do not work. We are in deep trouble and both the Republicans and the Democrats, and way too many Americans have little to no understanding that only capitalism can fix things. We have actually never had pure Capitalism and we are now a welfare nation. Sooner or later, those who work and save will wake up, but will not be able to do anything about it. The only way seems to be we have another revolution like we did back in the late 1700s to divorce ourselves from England.

No nation can last long with an albatross like that around its neck. Saying goodbye to the America that once had such promise.”

*** end quote ***

I was also ASTONISHED when the 1 in 8 stat came out. 

For whatever reason, this is unsustainable.  

In bygone days, I knew men who were denied benefits because they were “able bodied”. Now it seems like everyone is “disabled” for reasons OTHER than a missing arm or leg, blind, or some physically flaw.

Not sure how this “epidemic” gets rolled back, but maybe it’s a simple as just just saying: “Sorry we’re broke. (All too true!) And you will have to find help elsewhere.”

Maybe it’s cruel but so it REAL LIFE.  In Nature, a disabled animal is just lunch for another.  

Maybe this is the “Darwin Award”?

Or the Gooferment policy that will lead to the revitalization of the various charitable organizations like the Elks, Moose, VFW, AL, and the ethnic clubs like Irish, Germans, Italians had when I was young.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Create a “Devil’s Advocate” to speak against pardoning people

Thursday, November 13, 2025

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/11/trump-on-why-he-pardoned-binance-ceo-are-you-ready-i-dont-know-who-he-is/

Trump on why he pardoned Binance CEO: “Are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”
Trump family business could benefit from pardon of crypto ex-con Changpeng Zhao.
Jon Brodkin – Nov 3, 2025 2:15 PM

*** begin quote ***

President Trump says he still doesn’t know who Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao is, despite having pardoned Zhao last month.

CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked Trump about the pardon in a 60 Minutes interview that aired yesterday, noting that Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws. “The government at the time said that C.Z. had caused ‘significant harm to US national security,’ essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him?” O’Donnell asked.

*** end quote ***

After the Biden fiasco of autopen pardons, @realDonaldTrump should create a “Devil’s Advocate” to speak against pardoning people.  Maybe we could get Judge Judy to chair a TV trial with a retired judge to act as the Devil’s Advocate versus the lawyer who thinks his client deserves one.  

Put it on Pay Per View for a few buck to defer the expense.  It’d make Survivor or the Bachelor look tame by comparison.  Judge “Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining” Judy Sheindlin could hear both sides and then issue a recommendation to the President.  Of course, that recommendation meeting could be on PPV too where the President could sign it for all to see.  

I love this idea.  (Who doesn’t love their own “baby”?  No matter how ugly.). Your comments welcome.

RANT: Now this is what DHS should be focused on!

‘Operation Dirtbag’ sees over 150 illegal migrant sexual predators nabbed in Florida, Kristi Noem announces
By Emily Crane
Published Nov. 12, 2025, 8:26 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

 “The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and now we’ve gotten them off of our streets, it’s remarkable. And we need to do more of it.”

*** end quote ***

Seems like they have finally hit on what “We, The Sheeple” wants. It’s what I want.

We still have to solve some “illegal immigration” problems cause by the stupidity, malfeasance, and gross incompetence of previous administrations, politicians, and bureaucrats. Especially judges, who see the violent and dangerous felons routinely reappearing in front of them.

(1) Any “illegal immigrant”, who has been here for more that a decade living a good life without welfare or any criminal record, should get a parole and a pathway to citizenship.

(2) Any “illegal immigrant”, who was brought here as a child, and has no criminal record, should get parole and a pathway to citizenship.

(3) Any politicians or bureaucrats, who hinder the efforts of DHS, should be arrested, indicted, and get a fair trial. If guilty, as a condition of sentence, should be barred from political office or Gooferment employment.

(4) Any formal statement — oral or written — in any form (e.g., twitter) — by politicians or bureaucrats — should be considered under oath and subject to perjury prosecution.

That should clean up this mess quickly.

HEALTH: Caution Against Suppressing Fevers?

Wednesday, November 12, 2025

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-does-natural-medicine-caution

Why Does Natural Medicine Caution Against Suppressing Fevers?
Exploring the link between Tylenol and Autism
A Midwestern Doctor 
The Forgotten Side of Medicine
Nov 02, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Story at a Glance:

  • Over-the-counter (OTC) pain and fever medications are widely used despite having marginal efficacy and significant side effects that hospitalize hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.
  • While a widespread practice, using these medications to reduce fevers has long been controversial, both due to their toxicity and the notion that fevers are essential for health.
  • During the 1918 Influenza pandemic, one of the most critical lessons was that avoiding fever suppression was vital for protecting patients from dying.
  • While considered the “safest” option, Tylenol has a wide range of issues, including liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, blood cancers, and kidney injuries.
  • An extensive body of data connects using Tylenol during pregnancy or in infancy to the development of neurological injuries (e.g., autism).
  • Many of these tragic cases illustrate a longstanding observation within natural medicine—suppressing superficial reactions (e.g., fevers) can transform illnesses into chronic ailments that can cause far more issues.

*** and ***

Many consider NSAIDs (ibuprofen and naproxen) amongst the most hazardous drugs in the U.S. because:

  • They are the leading cause of drug-related hospital admissions
  • Kidney damage is a significant risk. 
  • NSAIDs raise cardiovascular risks.
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding 
  • They impair healing, especially of ligaments

*** end quote ***

My string of kidney docs —  thanks to all the changing of insurance networks during Obamacare —  have ALL warned me not to take ANY “pain treatments” without consultation.

Those pregnant women with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) are really brainwashed.  Even if DJT47 is wrong, why would you risk your baby and your own health to prove a political point.

And, we should learn from the history of medicine with the axion “first do no harm” that sometimes doing nothing is the best strategy and tactic.  Many from Eastern and Western medical traditions have urged that body can hal itself in some cases.  

Humans should be humble and realize that we can’t know it all and have to be careful when “popping pills”.

Some conditions don’t ned Big Pharma’s quick fixes.

Sigh!

VETERANS: They shall grow not old … … 

Tuesday, November 11, 2025

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon
poem “For the Fallen” (1914)

[JR: Remember the generations of young men —  English, French, German, and American —  wiped out by aristocratic generals who didn’t care that the machine gun, artillery, tanks, and flame throwers had revolutionized “warfare”. Argh! So sad and so wasteful. Dona Nobis Pacem]

VETERANS: Armistice Day should be remembered for the carnage of a generation of young men wasted by Gooferment supidity

Tuesday, November 11, 2025

I prefer that we revert to the old meaning of 11 November — Armistice Day.

On November 11, 1918, the armistice between the Allied nations and Germany took effect, marking the end of major hostilities. The following year, the date was remembered as Armistice Day, dedicated to honoring those who served in the “war to end all wars.”

And go back to the “end all wars” feeling that WWI generated.

“Only way to win is not to play at all” — from the movie ‘War Games’

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

“To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” — Sun Tzu’s The Art of War

POLITICAL: Socialism interferes in the private sector—via regulations, taxes, mandates, and bureaucratic controls

Monday, November 10, 2025

https://www.cato.org/blog/democratic-socialist-plans-will-only-make-nyc-worse

Democratic Socialist Plans Will Only Make NYC Worse
By Michael Chapman

*** begin quote ***

The Nature of Democratic Socialism

Libertarian economists have long explained that democratic socialism does not involve outright government seizure of the means of production. Rather, it manifests through layers of government interference in the private sector—via regulations, taxes, mandates, and bureaucratic controls. Each intervention distorts market processes, producing inefficiencies and crises that, in turn, invite yet more intervention. The cycle repeats, expanding state power and eroding prosperity.

A contemporary example can be seen in the Democrats’ push to extend Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire at year’s end. These subsidies were meant to stabilize insurance markets, yet their expiration will drive premiums upward. The government created this instability by intervening in healthcare and now seeks to intervene again—at an estimated cost of $415 billion over ten years—to “fix” the problem it caused.

This incremental approach is socialism by installments: policy by policy, the private market is replaced with a government-run one. Mamdani’s proposals fit within this framework.

*** end quote ***

Congress is a known cesspool for producing market distortions.  Creates more opportunities for “insider trading”.   How else do so many enter broke and leave grazilionairs?

How can “We, The Sheeple” stop this ever quickening slide into Socialism / Communism?  End “Federal Gooferment Benefit” programs.  If the States want welfare, let them pass and pay for it.  No more “sugar” coming from the Feds.

Also, eliminate all “non-profit” entities —  NGO’s, “Foundations”, and “Trusts”.  

End the cycle of “political contributions” that come from “winners” of lucrative Gooferment contracts.

Political contributions Should be limited to small amounts from “inside” the representative’s district.

Time to shrink all levels of Gooferment!
