Stuff in the News That No One Is Talking About Because of the Election

This Week in the News

You wouldn’t know it by watching the news, but there are actually important things going on in the world that have nothing to do with the Presidential election. Today, we’ll talk about some of these non-election-related events on Survival Saturday, like the Dakota access pipeline, Russia, Venezuela, and our dystopian future.

For election coverage, go on over to my other website, DaisyLuther.com, which is all Hillary, all the time, right up until the election. (My goal there is to cover the stuff that the MSM is trying to sweep under the rug about their darling.)

The Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters Are Being Brutally Attacked by Law Enforcement

Have you been aware of the ongoing protests by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe about a pipeline being forcibly built across their watershed via eminent domain? They have been joined by other tribes to form a coalition of water protectors who say that the pipeline is a violation of a treaty established between the Sioux and the federal government. (Here are the important things to know about the protest. Trust me, you’ll want to read this.)

Everyone who was paying attention breathed a sigh of relief when the US Government for once took a stand on behalf of the little guys back in September.

“The federal government ordered a halt to work on a $3.8 billion four-state oil pipeline in the Upper Midwest on Friday, handing a temporary victory to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and other opponents of the project…

…The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it wouldn’t authorize construction near Lake Oahe, a culturally important location to the tribe, until the agency determines if it needs to reconsider its previous approvals under the National Environmental Policy Act.” (source)

Unfortunately, the government’s willingness to do the right thing was short-lived. Work has resumed on the pipeline and all hell is breaking loose – but not by who you might think. Protestors have been non-violent, but law enforcement has been absolutely brutal. They’ve beaten up on young people, old people, and independent journalists covering the story. Hundreds have been arrested.

These people are protecting their water sources and their way of life, and they are being brutalized by our own government. The story you’re getting on the mainstream is that the water protectors are standing there and that the police are standing there and that it is a relatively calm affair.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. The AntiMedia (who would get a major journalism award if real journalists got such awards) has provided truthful coverage, and it is ugly. Every single person who is against government overreach should be supporting the water protectors. Right now, this affects some people up in North Dakota. But what about when someone wants to build something across your land? What about when someone wants to seize your home? What about when Agenda 21 comes to your back yard?

Here’s what really happened at the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. It’s on film. It’s ugly. You owe it to your fellow human beings to witness this and be outraged. Go here to learn what you can do to help.

With all of this “progress,” is humanity at risk of becoming obsolete?

Thousands of jobs each year are being turned over to computers as humans demand higher wages and better benefits for unskilled labor. We’ve all ended up on the endless loop of talking to customer service robots on the phone or going to a checkout counter and discovering it is push button and digital.

Is this all part of a greater plan to make the bulk of humanity utterly dependent on the whims of a few?

I don’t watch a lot of documentaries, but last night my daughter and I watched Obsolete. This film is available for free on Amazon, and it isn’t one of those dry, boring ones that keep you shifting in your seat in order to stay awake. It’s fascinating from the moment you hit play. When it was over, we sat there in silence for at least a minute, aghast that we could see the whole thing happening around us right now.

I can’t recommend this highly enough. Everyone should watch it. Let me quote Morpheus (from the Matrix) for a moment here. “This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.”

This documentary is the red pill. Take it if you want to survive the future that is coming for us all.

Watch Obsolete then come back over here and let’s talk about it. I think this will spark a very interesting conversation. How will you prepare for a future in which humanity is largely obsolete?

Meanwhile in Venezuela…

Things are still awful there, although there hasn’t been as much news coverage. Basically, this is how life is now for Venezuelans, and recovering from this collapse could take decades.

Currently, the people of the country are revolting against the unpopular president, Nicholas Maduro. A campaign had begun for a recall election in order to replace Maduro, but authorities halted the process. The electoral council cited fraud when faced with huge numbers of signatures on a petition. Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets.

NPR reports:

The demonstrators were protesting “what they call a sharp turn towards authoritarianism. The Maduro government has jailed opposition leaders, stripped Congress of its powers and cracked down on the press.”

As for Maduro, he has blatantly threatened to jail anyone who tries to remove him from power, via elections or legal means, ironically citing the Venezuelan constitution:

“If they launch a supposed political trial, which is not in our constitution, the state prosecution service must bring legal action in the courts and put in jail anyone who violates the constitution, even if they are members of Congress.”

What’s more, in a conversation with the American DEA, Maduro’s nephew says that Venezuela is at war with the US, which is news to most Americans. Efrain Campo was busted doing a quick cocaine deal in order to make money for the Venezuelan First Family. He was caught attempting to smuggle $5 million of Columbian cocaine into the US. The Charlotte Observer reported:

Efrain Campo…was recorded saying “we’re at war” with the Americans and laughing about sending opposition leaders to jail, according to the transcript, which was filed in federal district court in New York.

“We need the money,” Campo said, according to the transcript. “Why? Because the Americans are hitting us hard with money. Do you understand? The opposition . . . is getting an infusion of a lot of money.”

…The defense has sought to paint Campo and his cousin as victims of a U.S. political plot against the Venezuelan government and has asserted that they didn’t have the knowledge or capability to pull off such a complicated transaction.

We’re irritating the snot out of Russia…

Lately, the Powers That Shouldn’t Be (great phrase borrowed from my friend Mel at Truthstream Media) have been going out of their way to paint Russia and Vladimir Putin as the biggest threat to America. A bigger threat, even, than Hillary Clinton, and boy, that’s a stretch. I’m pretty sure you can put all of these recent headlines together and get a picture of where this is headed. (Hint.) There are many more, but I don’t want this post to be a lengthy novel about idiocy.

• Russia Kicked Out Of UN Human Rights Council; Saudi Arabia Reelected (Because everyone knows the Saudis are a bastion of human rights)
• Russian, US Military Planes in a Near Miss over Syria
• Russia Makes the End of Disarmament Deal Official
• No matter what Russia does, the West is against it
• Clinton’s “No-Fly Zone” over Syria Will Not “Save Lives”. It Will Lead to War with Russia (Warning of JCS Chairman General Dunford)
• A Clinton Presidency Will Bring “A Hemispheric Government”…And War with Russia
• VP Biden Threatens Russia, Moscow Tells Citizens To Check Gas Masks And Bomb Shelters
• Russia Flexes Military Muscle with Recent Deployments

But the biggest stench of anti-Russia, pro-war propaganda emanates from this:

• How Russia Pulled Off the Biggest Election Hack in U.S. History
• Obama administration accuses Russian government of election-year hacking
• U.S. Says Russia Directed Hacks to Influence Elections

What total horse poop. This one seems a bit more accurate:

• Putin says U.S. ‘hysteria’ over Russia is election ploy

For whatever reason, the world seems to want a war with Russia, one of the biggest nuclear powers on the planet. This will make tons of money for the Military Industrial Complex, but trust me when I tell you, the rest of us will be royally screwed.

For the record, I’m not pro-Russia. I’m pro-not-getting-nuked-because-our-moronic-leaders-are-picking-a-fight.

This Week on DaisyLuther.com

I am on a mission between now and the Presidential Election on November 8th and I hope that you will join me.

I am going to work day and night to provide the coverage that the mainstream media is not. It isn’t until we combine all of our voices that we can make people listen to the scandals, the rigging, and the corruption, not only in this election but in the system in general. Please join your voice with mine by liking, sharing, and spreading the word. Light up your social media accounts and your emails with the truth.

Together, we cannot be ignored. Together, we are an army.

The Organic Prepper got a facelift!

You may have noticed things are looking a little bit different around here!

I moved to a simpler platform so that you can find things easily. I stuck with a very plain white background to make things easy to read, removed annoying things that pop-up and move, and am looking for other ways to make things easier for you guys. A few things to note:

• The top spot on the upper right-hand side is a search bar if you’re looking for articles about a specific topic on this website.
• Below that is a feed from my news site, DaisyLuther.com
• Across the top of the homepage is a menu with links to my food storage website, the different categories on this website, and my books, which are all available on Amazon.
• Most recent articles will appear first and older articles that are currently pertinent will appear after that. 🙂

It’s not fancy but the hope is that everything is easier to find now. Personally, I love the crisp, clean look of it. We’re still working out a few bugs, so let me know if you have any issues whatsoever.

Anything to add to Survival Saturday?

Stuff Missed by The News.

[ifinnegan]

Communist pipeline “demonstrations” are getting big hype in the hard left sphere.

I’ve noticed, though, that all the photos are close cropped. I think the number of demonstrators are smaller than presented.

These are our Occupy, BLM crowd. Same folk.

[piasa]

DA pipeline isn’t being built across “their” watershed by eminent domain.
The landowner that sold the land was not the tribe.

[FreeperCell]

The left is dying. Right now.

[piasa]

The demonstrators were protesting “what they call a sharp turn towards authoritarianism. The Maduro government has jailed opposition leaders, stripped Congress of its powers and cracked down on the press.”

"Sharp turn," my butt. Venezuela's been yoked under socialist tyranny since the communist Hugo Chavez came to power and imported Castro's Cuban agents to watch his back. Maduro's just continuing Chavez's socialist economic policy. We predicted the outcome - food shortages and economic ruin- when the idiots elected Chavez even though the jackal had earlier tried to take power by force.

Flooding aftermath in NC. Still going on, zero coverage.

[Nextrush]

I’m with the protestors from the Native American groups.

The “private land” was promised to them in an 1851 treaty (Treaty of Ft. Laramie) that was broken by the government of the United States.

Dakota Access is a crony capitalist pipeline approved by the Obama Administration after its hootin and hollerin opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Left is angry about this since Obama double crossed them taking oil industry bucks no doubt for the Dems and authorizing this pipeline for the pipeline developers from Texas.

[metmom]

Something for everyone ping.

[metmom]

Thank you for posting this.

We really needed to see this.

His comment about the dystopian society is sadly, dead on.

I read both Divergent and Hunger Games (and much longer ago 1984 and Brave New World) and I could see WAAAYYYYY too many parallels between those stories and where we are heading.

One book that is very alarming in its implications because it is actually so feasible IMO, is One Second After, about the breakdown of society after an EMP destroys the power grid. NOt that I’m sure of the EMP attack or that it would happen as he claims, but I think he nails it about the breakdown of society and the loss of life that would ensue for the reasons he gives.

[Flaming Conservative]

Another thing nobody’s published, is the fact that there is a wikileaks about Kaine, in 2009, meeting with that SAME MORROCAN KING that gave the Clinton’s $28ml! There’s GOT to be a connection. Kaine has been on Clinton’s short list, for YEARS.

Obsolete? Like Mark Stern quoted: “the future belongs to those who show up”

"...One Second After, about the breakdown of society after an EMP destroys the power grid....

Everyone should read One Second After.

It is a training manual.

It will help people keep their children alive.

[metmom]

It sure is.

There is a lot nobody can do anything about and people are going to die from technology failure, unavailability of medicine, and societal collapse as the criminal element will have a heyday.

But people don’t have to starve to death.

The problem is, way too many people do not know how to grow and preserve food or have enough on hand to last a good while. There are lots of options that don’t cost a lot or take up a lot of space.

Grains such as rice and oats, last a long time and oatmeal is very nutritious. There are other grains that work as well and are inexpensive.

Freezing isn’t going to get you far once the power is out so it’s good to have back up storage methods.

I have been canning for YEARS and in the last few years have learned to pressure can. I have a lot of chicken, turkey, and beef canned up for soups and stews.

Eggs keep a long time, a couple months easily if bought fresh and stored correctly.

I have my own herb garden. Many of the commonly used spices, thyme, sage, oregano, are perennials and my plants are now HUGE. Others, like parsley and basil are easy enough to grow from seed every year.

It would not be the abundant amount of food that we are used to having and it would require rationing and not wasting a single thing, but it is doable, especially if you have a basement in which to store the stuff.

But you would not starve.

[Sequoyah101]

Not so concerned about the Dakota Pipeline.

[metmom]

And of course, the most important thing is to be prepared spiritually.

Everyone dies eventually and being right with God and ready to meet Him is the best. Cause really, what’s the worst that can happen here? You die and then you are in heaven forever, never having to deal with this life again.

[T-Bone Texan]

My baby is starting to eat solid food, which is a big relief.

I don’t think I could keep her alive post-SHTF otherwise.

I expect the hammer to fall at any moment; I live my life that way, keeps me on my toes.

My overarching goal is to keep my kids alive. That’s really my sole focus.

[kaktuskid]

The new pipeline is being built next to the existing pipeline, where were the professional braves when the original pipeline was built?
And not a peep about the hundreds of oil trains and trucks that would replace the pipeline.

[hoagy62]

We need the oil. We need the pipeline. Enough said.

Remove/jail the protesters.
