RENDER ONTO OBAMMY

A guest article posted earlier.

I just got finished reading a nice little post-apocalypse novel, “Apocalypse Law” by John Grit. The book itself was descent. Not superb, but decent, and the cost was reasonable. I actually enjoyed the 14 page back story addition after the end of the novel more than I did the book itself. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d recommend the book. I just had reservations about it. But the short story afterwards so impressed me I’ll buy other books from this author. It was like Victor Gischler with Go-Go Girls Of The Apocalypse. A good enough book, but his regular crime novels are heads and shoulders better. Okay, Apoc Law. The book was pretty realistic other than the typical “Rambo Mad Type Skills Cause I Was Delta” of the lead character. But what really irritated me was the entire 160 pages of the characters son whining and bitching and questioning every damn thing he was told. And dad was really patient with him the whole time. Another unrealistic aspect. Real world, your sorry ass better shut the hell up and do as you’re told or we’ll both die you sniveling little pant loading doll hugging Nancy Boy girly man puke! God! This kid was so annoying I’m going to appoint this fictional character Most Annoying Ever In All Of Apocalypse Fiction, and that is no small feat because he just beat out Dakota Fanning ( I think I have the name right ) who was that shrill screamer in War Of The Worlds.

And the Super Rambo bit. Okay, he was in combat. He has the skills. I buy that. But it wasn’t because the military did such a great job with training him, it was because he was in combat and survived. The military sucks at training people. Here is the militaries idea of training. Okay, we pick anyone, doesn’t matter about their body type or mental orientation, cookie cutter them, train them once or twice with no repetitive motion ( after basic training, and then that is mostly marching-a skill needed for black powder tactics, toad licking the officers and breaking down the vile hunk of crap M-16 cause you need to know how to clean the twat in the middle of combat since it jams at a harsh glance ), assume they memorized it, and go on to the next task. The military is crap for training, and the only reason the special forces MIGHT be better schooled is because they are more focused on their tasks. In my case, being an MP, some bright boy educated in college decided that after the urban combat in Saigon that all MP’s should now be real area combat troops. As a result, all three primary tasks-law enforcement, security and infantry- were under taught. And worse, under practiced. I shudder to think of my life expectancy if bullets ever flew.

Having bitched about all that, the story was nicely balanced. Not everyone was a saint or trusting or charitable, but only the bad seeds stayed evil. It nicely walked between optimism and pessimism. The combat wasn’t cartoonish. And, it was a good cautionary tale about the security needed for farming. But the back story was superb. As I said, those few pages are going to get me to cough up twenty bucks for the other two books he has out ( I believe they are militia porn ). A farmer is visited by one of FDR’s goons and informed that some wheat must be plowed under, under pain of tremendous fines, so that quotas are not exceeded ( know who else loved quotas? The Soviets ). The guy is all ready to fight to the death, as the wheat is for their own use ( which of course doesn’t matter as the Supreme Court ruled that NOT consuming others wheat still effects interstate commerce ), he fought against Nazi’s and won’t abide socialism in the Land Of The Free ( I would have tried to sell him some Arizona beach front property after he started waving the flag ), etc. Of course, he goes with the wife’s wishes and just plows under the wheat before the deadline, proving fems are good for keeping us out of trouble ( from others, not themselves ), is called back up to fight for American Way Of Life ( making the Federales safe from the States ), and dies.

Before he is shipped off, he turns a jar of illegal gold coins into legal jewelry so that his wife can keep the farm in case something happens to him. The farm is paid off, but you always need some cash for incidentals. The story, primarily, was great illustrating how the government was evil and un-Constitutional, 60 friggin years ago. If you think anything has gotten better, I have that Arizona land for you, AND a bridge in Brooklyn. But it also highlighted the need for that rainy day money.

I know I just got done telling you that ammunition was better than gold. And it is, after the collapse. Before that, you need to render Obammy his due. As the headlines have already proved, as militia porn novels have illustrated, property tax is the new weapon against freedom. Before, that wonderful “interstate commerce” clause allowed the federal government to wallow into everyone’s business, at a microscopic level. That has succeeded. It is accepted as normal, even by Tea Baggers and AR toting Freedom Fighters. Everyone worships paper money ( ooh, if I just get five grand worth of silicon I can bag a rich guy, screw him once a month, steal most of his wealth and live happily ever after because money will buy me magic protection against any big bad things! Who said blonds are dumb? ). Everyone works like a dog to support the central bank with debt payments. Everyone is playing the game, so how can you screw them out of their wealth, even the illusionary riches?

*

Notice how your paper assets are gone? Pension, crap. House, underwater. Job, assuredly insecure. Future promised safety net, hyper-inflated away. Just keeping a roof over your head, even if you vastly over paid for it, is in danger because of property tax hikes. The only way you can protect against that is saving up precious metals ( gold for a McMansion, silver for junk land ). That is the only thing that won’t lose value under inflation so you can keep making those tax payments. My property taxes doubled, but at least my silver has quadrupled. Your wages won’t keep up with the tax increases ( either desperation legal shenanigans or indexing to inflation, they will find a way to increase ). Hey, I know it sucks. Another “must have” expense in prepping. But you want to keep your house? I assume. Precious metals used to be a nice savings. Now it is a necessity to keep your own property. This is a pre-collapse necessity, not a prep item.
