rocket science just in case

ROCKET SCIENCE JUST IN CASE


Every few months we get the screech of unbearable pain, the gnashing of teeth, the imploring of understanding from god himself. Why, oh why, is Jim such a douche bag? Why can’t he feel our pain? Most of my long time minions merely role their eyes and go back to hoeing their turnips and cleaning their semi automatic carbines. For them, I say, way to ignore everything I’ve said for five years. But, also, because just sticking around that long has to worth something, I promise we’ll make this first part short(er) and I’ll throw you a bone later. This opening is for my newer minions who not only are as we speak firing up their e-mails to whine about being called a “loyal minion” ( I’m nobodies minion, bitch! ), but also are pretty much confused about every other damn thing we talk about in these parts. Why, golly, Wilber, why doesn’t he just cover wilderness first aid and physical fitness like all good little survivalist sites are supposed to do?

My basic premise, and yes, I’m as surprised as you that I’ve been able to milk that daily for almost five years, is that just in case, buy a very basic and very affordable stockpile right this very second! Pretty simple, isn’t it? Just in case the ass raping no good thieving bastard crooks at the central bank have been far too clever for their own good and utterly and totally screw the entire economy, have a cheap stash on hand to cover the basic needs of survival. Just in case the propaganda is more than just a black ops mission from the intelligence agencies and there actually is some basis of truth about terrorists and they actually do nuke the crap out of us, have a few buckets of food and an inexpensive surplus bolt rifle and cheap water filter to keep you alive a year after FEMA still hasn’t shown up. Just in case all those other survival experts are wrong and we don’t have another twenty years to prepare because even as we speak our resources are dwindling faster than a chocolate cake at a Weight Watchers support group, have a Better Than Nothing stash set aside. One that cost only a few hundred bucks and anyone, from poor student to cat food eating Senior can afford. Other than the rifle, pretty much everything can be bought $25 or so at a time. Anyone cutting just 5% from their budget, and then only for a short time at that, can easily prepare for uncertainty in just a few paydays ( of course, I plead and beg of you to sell something unneeded immediately and get everything you need right friggin now. Not because the world will certainly end tomorrow, but because IF it does you will be screwed. And, more importantly, this process is so damn cheap that even if the room temperature fusion fairy shows up tomorrow and we all live happily ever after you won’t be hurt financially ). Alas, all this, to some people, seems to be rocket science.

How dare I suggest someone eat less than a perfectly rounded diet that doesn’t taste yummy. How dare I suggest someone be expected to defend themselves with less a perfectly designed tactical weapon. How dare I suggest the big cities could be a dangerous place to live. How dare I assume that living without debt is a good idea. I’m the asshat, because I dare suggest all is not well and business as usual is dead. All I’m doing, and granted, at times in an insensitive manner, is saying get your crap together Just In Case. But I’m a jerk. Crap on a crust people, go hog wild with the freeze dried food and huge arsenals of death if you want. Why should I care? Just don’t do it until the basics are covered first. In case it all ends tomorrow. But I’m the monster, as if I was suggesting you give your buddy Earl a rim job. A minion send me another blogs article yesterday. It was pretty good. It was written for the gun rights crowd, but as said minion pointed out it aptly applied to survivalists. Condensed, it said that gun control pukes weren’t debating rights, they were debating their basic safety. If they admitted they needed guns for self defense than they admitted that their world wasn’t as safe and secure as they thought it to be. You were debating Constitutional rights and they were subconsciously crying out in fear that their structured safety zone wasn’t real.

*

It’s called denial, and its more than a river in the desert. But you can’t debate with people like that, can you? You are both arguing about different things but don’t know it. My Yuppie Survivalist Defenders are arguing that their perfectly constructed safety zone will never end. That a magic talisman of paper money or the best weaponry or never ending North Dakota oil will keep the zones walls from being breeched. Good luck living in that paradise unmolested, pal. Let me run a scenario by you. It isn’t any more implausible than Yellowstone erupting or an asteroid hitting us or even global warming. If fact, it has a good probability of happening in one form or another. And it could be tomorrow. Saudi Arabian oil has been in decline. You don’t cut back on production when oil is $112 unless you have to. First, that shoots the price up and destabilizes the global economy. Second, it hurts your treasury. The US has already demonstrated it will do whatever it takes to secure “its” oil in the middle east. If you were a Saudi, saw all the death and destruction in the countries the US is occupying, and your oil revenues were already in decline as you knew the downside of peak had already started ( and you knew it would fall quickly because of your past drilling practices ), what would be a natural thought? Blow your own oil production infrastructure.

*

This isn’t crazy. Hear me out. The drastic drop in production is right around the corner. You are screwed anyway. If you take out your pumping, transport and refining infrastructure NOW, under the guise of a terrorist attack, the US has no reason to attack and occupy your country. They see Germany, still occupied after almost seventy years. Hell, even an ally, England, is still occupied. Would you want the infidel occupying your country forevermore? Little oil goes to the US itself, right now, but it does prop up the rest of the worlds economy. Kick out that prop and the global economy dies immediately and the Great Satan is occupied elsewhere and leaves you alone. Perhaps this won’t happen today with the current family in power. But look how likely regime change is all over the middle east right now. If you don’t think this sounds entirely implausible, don’t you think a years supply of food and water filtering and basic defense is a great friggin idea, even if the supplies aren’t perfect or 100% desirable?
