I went to the gun show in Jacksonville today the ammo is amazingly high-priced and yet we saw boxes of ammo sitting there so the supply is coming in but the sellers are holding it for the highest price which they are getting.

Talked with a seller that I sort of knew and he said that whatever the price somebody’s buying.. paying outrageous prices with cash.

Most likely this is Soros money going to BLM and antifa as the average gun buyer is unlikely to pay these prices.
This does not bode well.

26 Feb 2018: China Global Philanthropy Institute: RAY DALIO: China Global Philanthropy Institute is an Important Stage for My Life
At the beginning of 2018, the simplified Chinese version of Principles was published by CITIC Press Group. With a short period of one month, 500,000 copies were sold, which created another miracle in the Chinese book market. As the author of the book, Ray Dalio is not only “Godfather of Hedge Fund” in the U.S., Founder of Bridgewater Associates, the biggest hedge fund in the world, but also one of the earliest foreign entrepreneurs who came to China after the Open-door Policy. He is also a businessman who is also affectionate about China, is full of feelings, and has a sense of responsibility to society...

At the beginning of 2014, several Chinese and American philanthropists were gathered in Hawaii...
At the time, Ray Dalio had already decided to invite his friend Bill Gates, Co-Chairman of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to participate in the action.
At the beginning of 2015, Ray Dalio and Bill Gates reached an agreement to support the founding of a philanthropy institute in China...

said, "If our side refuses to fight then we will be slaughtered"
Think about what this means if a bloody war actually started. Who gets killed? conservatives fighting the most conservative branch of the US government. The US military. The leftist would laugh as we kill each other. We have to think this through on how we're going about defending ourselves.

Don't forget the present rebellion of the 12th century. They had rightful grievances and when the presents lost was the start of Serfdom (actual owned slave to the king.)

He did say, however, that he was “thrilled” by what President Joe Biden had to say at his inauguration last week.

Joe Biden gave one of the most terrifying inaugural addresses in American history. For friends of constitutional government, it is far more disturbing than Franklin Roosevelt’s first inaugural.

Joe Biden’s Unity that Crushes, Truth that Lies

We can live with a conservative government (of course). We can even live with a liberal government, so long as it is a traditional liberal government that at least tries to do what is in the best interests of the nation and the people, even if misguided. But what we can never live with is a tyrannical Leftist government that couldn’t care less about the well being of the people, hates our founding principles, and seeks power only for the purpose of spreading Marxist globalism.

This last form of government can never be permitted to take root in America, and any and all measures necessary to uproot it are fully justified.

Hopefully, the hedge fund manager is correct.
Either war or secession - both are better than what the illegitimate
administration will do to this country in the next 4 or 8 years.

I have worked well over 40 Years plus my years in the service and I’m tired of both parties getting in and destroying the economy and devaluing the value of Money I have worked hard for a invested only to have it all trashed.

This present Imposter in the white House is bent on totally trashing the dollar even more.

If this continues and the Congressional Clowns don’t get there act together I fear there will be NO recourse except to violence. People that are cold and hungry will do anything to get what the “wealthy” have stolen from them.

Things are going to get ugly quick.

This is what the left does everywhere they take over if you look at the last two centuries. they are totalitarian psychopaths who are destructive.

They’ve taken over here basically. All aspects of Federal government and academia and media.

We will eventually will have to fight or flight because they will keep pushing. That's who the left is.

“Please understand this hedge fund managers want Civil War because see silver or gold relationship to the dollar will change in their favor and they always make tons of money at our expense.”
______________________________________________________
They make money no matter what so the last thing they want is upheaval and war. Civil war would just mean more security issues, travel issues and more other annoyances to living it up in peace.

The old myth that the big rich want a huge depression or upheaval and any kind is silly and needs to die. It’s based on hatred of successful people, not facts. It’s Leftist at its’ core.

“This week’s pile of executive orders will no doubt have many states telling the white house to pound sand. We’ll see how it goes after that.”

*****

Cannibalize your state national guard in beefing up and militarizing your state police force into a state militia.

Tell the feds you are going to keep on fracking.

Tell the Supreme Court when they rule against you that you think they lack jurisdiction and keep on fracking.

States taking back their power would solve a multitude of our problems.

And if a number of states did it over different issues at the same time, the feds wouldn’t be able to deal with it, they’d have to acquiesce.

I saw 100 rds of 5.56 for $160 at the little local gun show today. That’s just plain nuts!

He is a lot more optimistic than I am.

I expect we go out with more of a whimper than a bang.

There are a lot of very sober and smart observers of the world who are saying much the same thing.

We have reached a point where our differences appear to be irreconcilable. That is bad enough.

Yet, it is far worse.

One side now has enormous power and they want to criminalize our differences, censor our speech, and cancel us.

How do you fix this?

The President of the United States just gave an inaugural address where he pleaded for unity and then called us domestic terrorist and racist all in the same paragraph.

Let that sink in for a second.

How can we have unity when there is no middle ground in our ideas and fundamental beliefs? How can we reconcile when they are committed to criminalizing our differences and label us as racist? When the first actions by congress are going to be a bill to change elections forever so they can make “cheating” legal and impeachment of the guy no longer in office so he is not a threat to them?

There is a divorce coming. What it looks like is not very clear, but when you want to throw out the bill of rights over political differences it is going to get ugly.

>>A civil War is not going to happen. Any war implies two sides fighting. Our side refuses to fight.<<

Americans still have too much to lose. When that is exhausted, the landscape will look a bit different.

Besides, the leftist have just begun. Let’s see what ol Beto comes up with. lol
