Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, thus denying him the same courtesies of a peaceful transition of power that were afforded his predecessors, including the country’s first black president not named Bill Clinton.

But there are other, really disturbing, reports beginning to surface that could produce very chaotic and, perhaps, deadly results.

As reported last month by Zero Hedge, various groups advocating anarchy may be united under the hashtag banner of #DisruptJ20, for “disrupt January 20th”–Inauguration Day:

It may be that even with the post-election riots that have swept the country, we ain’t seen nothing yet.

This country is fissuring. Its people are sharply divided, but more than that, covert finance is pushing things towards unrest and martial law.

If Soros money and its ilk proves effective, inauguration day on January 20th will become one of the largest demonstrations on record, with a group calling itself #DISRUPTJ20 planning to block “peaceful transition” and disrupt Trump’s swearing in.

Reports have only grown more dire since then. What’s also true is that rather than accept Trump’s ascension to the White House, the angry Left and the federal establishment–full of big government careerists including many who work for in the Intelligence Community–are doing all they can to disrupt, derail and de-litigimize the incoming Trump administration.

As reported here:

#DisruptJ20: Call for a bold mobilization against the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2017

On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States. We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule. 

Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email. He is the harbinger of even more climate catastrophe, deportation, discrimination, and endless war. He continues to deny the existence of climate change, in spite of all the evidence, putting the future of the whole human race at stake. The KKK, Vladimir Putin, Golden Dawn, and the Islamic State all cheered his victory. If we let his inauguration go unchallenged, we are opening the door to the future they envision.

Trump’s success confirms the bankruptcy of representative democracy. Rather than using the democratic process as an alibi for inaction, we must show that no election could legitimize his agenda. Neither the Democrats nor any other political party or politician will save us—they just offer a weaker version of the same thing. If there is going to be positive change in this society, we have to make it ourselves, together, through direct action.

None of these accusations are true–except to diehard, Left-wing #nevertrumpers who want them to be true, so they have made them true…in their minds.

And no one is going to convince them otherwise, except, perhaps, a couple Army and Marine battalions who may indeed be ordered to shoot to kill to protect the president-elect and the people, should they judge them to be in real danger.

Will there be bloodshed on Inauguration Day? There seem to be several groups of people, and the man at the center of it all may well be billionaire Leftist George Soros.

If that’s the case, Soros should be hunted down like a dog and arrested for treason and inciting domestic terrorism.

Remember that black church burned by a ‘Trump supporter’? Yeah, a black church member did it /bugout/2016-12-27-remember-that-black-church-burned-by-a-trump-supporter-yeah-a-black-church-member-did-it /bugout/2016-12-27-remember-that-black-church-burned-by-a-trump-supporter-yeah-a-black-church-member-did-it#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-27-remember-that-black-church-burned-by-a-trump-supporter-yeah-a-black-church-member-did-it (Bugout.news) During the recently presidential campaign cycle, the Left went apoplectic with rage upon news that a black church in Greenville, Miss., was burned and the words, “Vote Trump,” spray-painted on the outside. Conclusion: More proof positive that supporters of GOP nominee Donald J. Trump are racists and bigots!

Not so fast. Turns out the church burning was actually committed by a black member of the same church

As reported by The Daily Caller:

A black man has been arrested and charged with burning an African-American church in Greenville, Miss. last month and defacing its outer walls with “Vote Trump” graffiti.

The Mississippi state police arrested Andrew McClinton, 45, on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree arson of a place of worship, Warren Strain, a spokesman with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety told The Daily Caller.

McClinton allegedly set first to Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, where he is a member, on Nov. 1, a week before the election. The fire destroyed 80 percent of the church. A GoFundMe account raised more than $240,000 to repair the facility.

A ‘week before the election…’ Sound like something staged to rip support away from the new president-elect? You bet it does.

Incredibly, Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, who also serves as the state fire marshal, told The Associated Press he didn’t believe the act was “politically motivated.”

Really? If this act was not politically motivated, then no act can be considered ‘politically motivated’. Sounds like officialdom in Mississippi, which went overwhelmingly for Trump, is attempting to stave off politically motivated retribution (which we seriously hope does not happen).

In any event, there is little doubt that the incident hurt Trump with at least some Americans–perhaps voters who were already sitting on the fence about whether or not to support him. And honestly, that can be the only true reason why this was done.

Because that’s certainly how the discredited ‘mainstream media’ portrayed it, as The Daily Caller noted:

The attack, which was investigated by local and state authorities as well as the FBI, was widely attributed by media outlets to Trump supporters. The Atlantic, to cite one example, published an article entitled “A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump.”

And, of course, Left-wing Democrats:

Mississippi U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, whose district encompasses Greenville, said last month that the arson and vandalism was an act of “domestic terrorism.”

“If there is something like the Ku Klux Klan or the Aryan Nation…we look at that as domestic terrorism,” he told the AP at the time.

So while the state fire marshall doesn’t believe this was politically motivated, he’s practically alone.

The lesson here, of course, is that insane Leftist Democrats and their supporters are willing to go to any extreme to cause damage to Trump and his presidency, even committing false flag attacks to incite rage and create division. Let’s just hope they don’t cross one bridge too far and ignite a nationwide civil conflict with stunts like this.

If you’ve stopped prepping, it could be the biggest mistake of your life /bugout/2016-12-24-stopped-prepping-could-be-the-biggest-mistake-of-your-life-survival-caching-financial-collapse /bugout/2016-12-24-stopped-prepping-could-be-the-biggest-mistake-of-your-life-survival-caching-financial-collapse#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-24-stopped-prepping-could-be-the-biggest-mistake-of-your-life-survival-caching-financial-collapse In a wildly viral article from TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com, Michael Snyder reveals that prepping has collapsed among Trump supporters since the day of the election. “[I]nterest in prepping is probably the lowest that it has ever been in the history of the modern prepper movement.  A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about how it was like ‘a nuclear bomb went off in the prepping community’, and nothing has changed since that time,” Snyder wrote.

Liberals and leftists, meanwhile, are suddenly stocking up like mad on food, guns and ammo. In an article titled, “Now it’s the liberals who are arming up,” McClatchyDC.com reports, “Gun shop owner Michael Cargill told NBC News gun classes at his Austin, Texas store are selling out. He’s noticed an increase in LGBTQ, African-American, Hispanic and Muslim customers. Store owners told NBC they’ve seen up to four times as many minority customers than is typical.”

Liberals, it seems, are scared about the possible rise in “hate crimes” under a Trump presidency. What they don’t realize, of course, is that nearly all the hate crimes are hate hoaxes committed by leftists. But that doesn’t stop them from buying guns, which is probably a smart thing to do no matter what the fear behind it.

Preppers are being lulled into complacency by the final blow off of a wildly overvalued stock market

My warning for all preppers — no matter what your political affiliation — is that if you’ve been lulled into a sense of complacency by the rising stock market and the Trump election victory, you could be making the biggest mistake of your life. Here’s why:

The Federal Reserve has already set the debt collapse apocalypse into motion by raising interest rates. The dominoes that will fall have already begun to tumble. The Fed promises two more interest rate hikes (at least) next year, giving the absurd excuse that the “Obama economy is overheating” from all its economic abundance and must therefore be slowed down using interest rate hikes.

This is all being done to create a false narrative that Obama is handing Trump a “robust economy.” Next, rising interest rates are coupled with a halting of quantitative easing and the acceleration of debt instrument failures in Europe. The result is that at some moment in President Trump’s first term, the global debt collapse is unleashed, unraveling the decades of debt creation and mindless bank deregulation we all witnessed under Clinton, Bush and Obama.

When that nightmare lands in Trump’s lap, the most likely outcome in the streets of America will be mass riots and social chaos at a level America has never before witnessed. Remember: This is all being set into motion to blame Trump and discredit the Republican party. I’ve released a mini-documentary explaining all this. You can read the full transcript at this link. Watch the video here:

What the mass riots are going to really look like

It’s difficult to give you the full picture of what these riots will really look like, but I can start by explaining that the food stamps will almost certainly stop working for an extended period of time. You can probably imagine what that will mean in America’s inner cities. No free food from the government? Burn it down! (That’s what the food stamp recipients will be shouting as the also chant, “Kill the pigs!”)

But let me back up for a second and share something that will help you understand the “financial freeze” that will immediately follow the global debt collapse. There’s an outstanding book by Jim Rickards called The Road to Ruin: The Global Elites’ Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis. I strongly recommend you read or listen to this book (it’s available on Audible.com, too).

As Rickards explains, the government’s solution to the next big banking crisis will be to “freeze” institutions and transactions, much like the “Ice-Nine” molecule in Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle fiction novel. As described in the book, Ice-Nine was a special kind of water molecule that was frozen solid at room temperature (its melting point was higher than room temperature). More importantly, Ice-Nine would convert all other water molecules it touched into Ice-Nine molecules. Thus, it could spread like a molecular pandemic, freezing ponds, streams, rivers and eventually, entire oceans.

The coming debt collapse will function much like Ice-Nine, Rickards explains. Because of the global interconnectedness of central banks, investment funds and retail banks, once the next large collapse strikes a single institution, it will spread to all the other connected institutions, “freezing” their transactions and assets in the same way that Ice-Nine would freeze rivers and lakes.

The newly frozen institutions will, in turn, spread the “financial freeze” to all the other institutions to which it is connected. Because no bank operates in isolation these days — everything is connected — the Ice-Nine financial freeze will quickly spread through the entire financial system, locking up the western world’s financial infrastructure on which everything in our society depends (including food stamps).

When ATMs stop working and food stamps collapse, the ignorant, unprepared, left-wing masses go berserk

This means no one will be able to get cash out of their ATMs. Food stamps won’t work. Credit card transactions will be halted at retail. Businesses won’t be able to write checks, wire money or deposit funds. Essentially, just imagine the worst case scenario in the world of banking and finance… that’s what’s coming.

The effects on the streets shouldn’t be difficult to visualize. As the following chart from Visual Capitalist shows, nearly 52% of Millennials have less than $1,000 in savings. This number is even worse among females, where nearly 57% have less than $1,000 in savings.

Across the nation, the numbers are similarly alarming. A 2013 article from CNN.com reported that “Roughly three-quarters of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck, with little to no emergency savings, according to a survey released by Bankrate.com Monday.”

The article explains that 22% of Americans don’t even have enough cash to cover a $100 emergency expense, and 46% can’t cover an $800 expense.

Consider how this plays out when the Ice-Nine freeze kicks in across America’s financial institutions. Bluntly stated, approximately half the population will face starvation in just one week due to an inability to purchase food.

That’s when nearly every major U.S. city begins to burn. President Trump will have no choice but to declare martial law and roll out troops on the streets. The starving masses — mostly leftists who failed to prepare — will loot, steal, rob and murder anyone in sight if it gives them something to eat.

It is during this time that you will thank yourself for having some storable food on hand (like my certified organic survival food buckets). You’ll be thrilled that you picked up that extra Glock or POF-USA rifle. You’ll wish you had spent twice as much money on ammo, gold and silver (instead of the Starbucks, porn and lotto tickets you blew it on).

Don’t forget about the mindless zombies who demand your stuff, citing “equality”

As you ponder all this, don’t forget about the mindless liberal “zombies” who will wander out of the cities in a desperate effort to loot the suburbs and countryside for food and medicine supplies. I know, it’s insulting to call them “zombies.” But it’s actually not a bad description for a humanoid organism of low intelligence that’s incapable of planning. Those are the ones will will be the greatest threat to you and your safety (their total lack of preparedness turns into YOUR emergency when they show up at your door demanding you “share” your stuff).

The communist-leaning philosophy of the political left is also extremely dangerous during times of social chaos. Because they’ve been taught that “inequality” is an evil thing, they truly believe that your stuff belongs in their hands so that everybody is “equal.” Of course, they didn’t spend equal time or money to prepare, did they? So what they’re really doing is justifying their theft by calling it “equality.” (And that’s communism in a nutshell, come to think of it.)

If you live in a rural area, you may want to double check the range, in yards, to your front gate, and match it to your DOPE charts. If you don’t know why that’s important, you might not be qualified to live in the country during a zombie apocalypse. Make sure you have a PVS-14 at the ready, since the zombies come out at night, as Michael Jackson showed us in Thriller.

I’m also a proponent of micro-caching, meaning hiding your stuff in small containers that are distributed in different places around your home or yard. Don’t have all your stash in one place. It’s not a bad idea to have a spare handgun, ammo and some gold or silver coins buried in an air-tight, water-tight container that you can recover when needed. The MTM SAC Survivor Ammo Can is a good choice. You can pick these up for around $20.

Sales of survival food and prepping supplies crash as wave of optimism follows Trump’s election victory /bugout/2016-12-23-sales-of-survival-food-and-prepping-supplies-crash-as-wave-of-optimism-follows-trumps-election-victory /bugout/2016-12-23-sales-of-survival-food-and-prepping-supplies-crash-as-wave-of-optimism-follows-trumps-election-victory#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-23-sales-of-survival-food-and-prepping-supplies-crash-as-wave-of-optimism-follows-trumps-election-victory Despite the continued protestations of a few snowflakes on college campuses and some Democratic lawmakers, optimism in the United States has soared since Donald J. Trump became the president-elect.

Wall Street has responded positively, with the Dow climbing towards 20,000 and the U.S. dollar rising to its highest level in years. Overall “optimism,” as measured by CNBC in a regular post-election survey, is higher now than it has been in years (and possibly ever). In fact, the only people who don’t think good things are in store for the country now that a billionaire businessman is set to take over the White House are Democrats, according to the survey.

Yes, things are certainly looking up, America – which helps explain why sales of prepping gear and emergency food have tanked since the Nov. 8 election.

So much good has happened since Trump won – it can’t end, right?

As noted by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog, “It is like a nuclear bomb went off in the prepping community.”

Snyder says he is in regular contact with many in the business of selling emergency food and prepping gear, and he can report with confidence that the so-called bottom has fallen out of the market since Trump’s surprise win. In addition, he says, firms that help people relocate outside the United States have similarly seen their business “dry up.”

“Not since the election of Ronald Reagan has the mood on the right shifted in such a positive direction so suddenly,” he writes (and that is true, as yours truly, who was around for all eight years of Reagan’s presidency, can attest).

Seeing so many people suddenly turn positive and abandon any notion that bad times lie ahead has surprised Snyder, but he understands why it has happened:

— The Dow is up; the dollar is up;

— Trump has managed to convince air conditioner manufacturer Carrier to keep most of the 2,000 jobs which it had planned to move to Mexico at its Indianapolis plant;

— U.S. Steel has announced it may reinstate 10,000 jobs in the next few years in the U.S.;

— Trump was just named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.”

And so on.

All of this and more has combined to convince the vast majority of Americans that good times are indeed ahead, and that Trump – even if he only accomplishes half of what he wants to do – will usher in an era of opportunity and economic growth that may be unprecedented. Even talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh is already entertaining that possibility.

But, what if none of it comes to fruition? Without being a Danny Downer, I would like you to ponder this for a moment, if you will.

Dark forces are at work to subvert, undermine or deny a Trump presidency

Trump has won the presidency by gaining enough votes to win the Electoral College … supposedly. Even as I write this, there are sinister forces at work behind the scenes to rob him of his EC victory by convincing, conniving or threatening Republican electors to change their ballot. Some have already announced that they will do so. If they succeed, Trump will be denied his 270-vote margin of victory when the electors meet to cast their ballots Dec. 19, and the election will go to the House, where Republicans there may – or may not – choose him. What if they don’t?

Also, as we have noted, there are reports that Left-wing “revolutionaries” are planning to take over the U.S. Capitol building or otherwise disrupt Trump’s ascension to the Oval Office on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.

And, as Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has posited, there may be plans to allow Trump to take office and then crash the global economy, leaving him with the blame for it all.

Would chaos ensue from any of these events (or a combination thereof)? Of course it would – which is why Snyder and Adams are warning against anyone letting their guard down.

“The legitimate fears of global nuclear war under a President Clinton have been replaced by vibrant optimism under President Trump,” Adams said. “But the next big wave of preparedness will come when the financial collapse begins to accelerate as globalists attempt to destroy the Trump administration in 2017.

“The risk for Americans now is not nuclear war with Russia, but a collapse of debt, banking and money, leading to widespread food scarcity and social chaos,” he added.

Debt collapse ‘perfect storm’ shaping up that will almost instantly wipe out pension funds nationwide /bugout/2016-12-21-debt-collapse-perfect-storm-shaping-up-that-will-almost-instantly-wipe-out-pension-funds-nationwide /bugout/2016-12-21-debt-collapse-perfect-storm-shaping-up-that-will-almost-instantly-wipe-out-pension-funds-nationwide#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-21-debt-collapse-perfect-storm-shaping-up-that-will-almost-instantly-wipe-out-pension-funds-nationwide There is a “perfect storm” of events shaping up that will take most Americans by surprise – especially those who paid into, and now rely on, a pension to help make ends meet after retirement.

Unbeknownst to most people, pension funds in the United States are grossly underfunded. In fact, according to The Financial Times, academic research has determined that the collective funding shortfall for all U.S. public pension funds combined is three times larger than official figures indicate – and it’s getting bigger.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said that for years it has been clear “that many cities and states are critically underfunding their pension programs and hiding the fiscal holes with accounting tricks.” In fact, the city of Dallas just moved to freeze withdrawals from its fire and police pension funds because they are billions of dollars in the hole.

Nunes introduced legislation in the House in November to reform how public pension plans report their figures to the general public. He said that when the funds become insolvent, “they will create problems so disastrous that the fund officials assume the federal government will have to bail them out.”

‘Five or 10 years out there will be major failures

In other words, taxpayers will be on the hook to pay for something they never contributed to, had nothing to do with setting up and had no role in managing, via elected representatives. In fact, Congress has already considered this as a real option.

Already, major pension shortfalls have played a huge role in driving a number of large American cities to bankruptcy. These include Detroit, the biggest of them all, as well as San Bernardino, Calif., and others. Many fear that cities, too, will soon become insolvent because their pension plans are far too generous for the amount of funding they bring in.

“The pension problems are threatening to consume state and local budgets in the absence of some major changes,” said Joshua Rauh, a senior fellow of finance at the Hoover Institute, a think tank, and finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, who helped conduct the study.

He noted further that it’s very likely that over the next five to 10 years there will be many more pension-related citywide bankruptcies.

Again, it’s very probable that most Americans have no idea this financial tsunami is coming. But it is, just the same, and when it strikes, it could affect tens of millions of people.

In fact, as reported by Project Chesapeake, the pension debt bubble, when it bursts, is liable to overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living spiraling down to levels last seen during the Great Depression.

Some financial observers and analysts, despite the recent meteoric rise of the U.S. stock market, believe that the country is headed for an era of super depression – meaning poverty would be even more widespread than after the stock market collapse in 1929. That’s because the larger the debt cycle is, the bigger the subsequent depression when the bottom falls out.

One giant Venezuela

Then, more than simply public pensions will be drained. Government benefit programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will also be emptied, as the government – already $20 trillion in debt (about $10 trillion of which was added just during the Obama administration) – will simply be unable to raise enough money to fund all of its obligations. It can’t simply print more because boosting the money supply will simply lead to more inflation and make the dollar worth even less.

So, in essence, the federal government is in much the same shape as local cities and entire states. Over the decades, pandering politicians seeking votes have made promises to the masses that the country can no longer keep, financially speaking. When you don’t have the money to pay out benefits, the only way to get it is from the people. This would take massive new tax increases, but these would come even as tens of millions of Americans lost their savings and their pension incomes, leaving them with nothing. So what would be left to tax?

The “rich” will become a favorite target (they already are), but Congress can return to that well only so many times. Eventually the rich will take their possessions and their wealth and leave the country.

Between the failing public pensions and the massive U.S. national debt, America will change dramatically, and almost overnight, going from an easy-credit, debt-ridden society to one that is completely broke, which will greatly diminish our status in the world.

We’ll become one giant Venezuela.

Media wildly exaggerates “weapons” of student busted entering Trump Tower /bugout/2016-12-21-media-wildly-exaggerates-weapons-of-student-busted-entering-trump-tower /bugout/2016-12-21-media-wildly-exaggerates-weapons-of-student-busted-entering-trump-tower#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-21-media-wildly-exaggerates-weapons-of-student-busted-entering-trump-tower When it comes to Americans defending themselves with a firearm, the ridiculous, Left-wing media gets hysterical. For some reason, to liberal reporters, this kind of rugged individualism reminiscent of our founding fathers is taboo.

So it should come as no surprise that these same kooks go out of their way to exaggerate any story having anything to do with “weapons.” Enter the certifiably insane individuals passing themselves off as journalists at the New York Daily News.

In recent days the NYPD arrested a 19-year-old college student at Trump Tower after Secret Service agents found a hunting knife and a powerful firework in his backpack.

The student—Alexander Wang—told police he studies finance at Baruch College and that he’s a big supporter of the President-elect who likes to study at the billionaire’s home base, the Daily News reported.

Wang arrived at Trump Tower around 6:35 a.m. on a recent morning and attempted to get past a checkpoint. After his bag set off a metal detector, Secret Service agents moved in and ordered him to open it.

Inside they discovered the hunting knife, an M-100 firework, a Swiss Army knife, handcuffs, a flashlight, an 8-foot black rope, a clear water gun, a wire that is typically used for strangling someone called a garrote, and a laptop.

To the lamestream media, this assortment—odd as it is—constitutes major weapons.

There is also this: Wang, who was arrested for unlawful possession of fireworks and two counts of weapons possession (for the garrote and the hunting knife) told police he had never before had a problem carrying his back, “weapons” and “explosives” included—into the skyscraper located in NYC’s Midtown the nearly dozen times he visited. That included one visit two days after Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, her second presidential loss.

He said he carried the items in his bag because he is a self-described survivalist (another “taboo” word on the lunatic Left—so much individualism!) who enjoys shooting off fireworks off a pier along the East River.

Stereotyping anyone who dares to take survival into their own hands

Police discovered more fireworks in his dorm room on Third Ave.; that prompted police to obtain a search warrant.

Then, the Daily News said this:

In his dorm room police found more fireworks inside a military-style ammunition box. But they found no evidence of any connection to a terror or militia group and found no firearms.

Check out that stereotyping, will you? To a crazy, Leftist “reporter,” if you carry any of these items and call yourself a survivalist, you must also be associated with a “militia” or “terrorist” group, because no one would identify as such voluntarily.

There is nothing wrong with the Secret Service attempting to keep the president-elect safe. We get that. But this is more about the hysteria from the Left-wing ‘mainstream media’ that loathes anything having to do with someone being free-minded enough to want to take care of themselves. This college student had nothing more than a “Day Bag” for surviving in any major city—no more, no less.

Texas husband and wife stand their ground together, shooting muggers after attempted assault /bugout/2016-12-21-texas-husband-and-wife-stand-their-ground-together-shooting-muggers-after-attempted-assault /bugout/2016-12-21-texas-husband-and-wife-stand-their-ground-together-shooting-muggers-after-attempted-assault#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-21-texas-husband-and-wife-stand-their-ground-together-shooting-muggers-after-attempted-assault You really shouldn’t mess with Texas, folks. Time and time again, people try to commit crimes and overstep their boundaries in the Lone Star State and things almost always don’t turn out well for them as a result. Unlike many of the more liberal states in the union, Texas allows its residents to fight back against those who try to cause them harm.

That is exactly what happened in Montgomery County, when two would-be muggers assaulted an off-duty police officer, prompting his wife to remove her gun and open fire on the attackers. Thanks to her ability to own and operate a firearm, the woman saved her husband’s life.

Lana Shadwick of Breitbart writes, “The reported attack occurred after the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputy walked out of a Shell Station at Sorters and Summer Hills roads in Montgomery County, Texas. The two black males allegedly assaulted him, taking him to the ground and started kicking him in the head. The suspects were apparently trying to rob the officer because they tried to get his wallet.”

Unfortunately, the two men then escaped before the police could arrive. The officer was taken to the hospital with injuries including a broken jaw, facial lacerations and missing teeth. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the case and is looking for the two men involved.

This story once again goes to show just how important The Second Amendment is. It’s one of the most important liberties that American citizens have access to. It allows us to carry firearms that even the playing field — or gain the advantage — whenever people try to cause us harm. Without a gun, who knows what might have happened at that gas station. That’s why it is so important that we protect this right at all costs.

Despite how badly the Regressive Left want all of the people in the United States to be forced to turn in their firearms, it is a terrible idea for everyone in our country. Disarmed, law-abiding citizens will not be able to protect themselves from harm. We all know that criminals do not care about obeying the law, so they most certainly will be carrying the guns that the leftists want the rest of us to hand over.

Our freedoms truly protect us. We are reminded of that each and every day when events like the one in Montgomery County take place.

Civil unrest and war coming to European cities thanks to a Muslim problem their leaders have created /bugout/2016-12-15-civil-unrest-and-war-coming-to-european-cities-thanks-to-a-muslim-problem-their-leaders-have-created /bugout/2016-12-15-civil-unrest-and-war-coming-to-european-cities-thanks-to-a-muslim-problem-their-leaders-have-created#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-15-civil-unrest-and-war-coming-to-european-cities-thanks-to-a-muslim-problem-their-leaders-have-created (Bugout.news) The headline was ominous: “1000 Muslims close London streets to chant Allahu Akbar and demand Islamic Caliphate.” This is the reality of what is happening throughout Europe as it comes to grips with a self-inflicted “Muslim problem” most European leaders (who are responsible for it) refuse to deal with. And their respective native populations will pay a heavy price in the near future, many with their own lives.

Per The Express:

More than 1000 Muslims took to the streets of London last night chanting Allahu Akbar and demanding an Islamic caliphate.

The street outside the empty embassy in Belgrave Square, London, was closed off as it filled with protestors and Islamic leaders chanting loudly and calling for America to be punished over Aleppo.

The demonstration became an alternative to an official rally calling for an end to the bloodshed in Syria outside Downing Street.

During the speeches which lasted almost an hour the crowd chanted Allahu Akbar ‘God is the greatest’ and cheered for those calling for a global caliphate.

A poet invited to talk shouted: “We need a Caliph who will clean up these streets. Who will smack up armies and who will back beef [fighting]. 

“Backhand your missiles back to your land, that’s the plan. 

“World domination at hand. We can expand and take out these fools.”

Fools, indeed. In their rush to be “diverse” and “inclusive” — and, in Germany’s case anyway, to fill in labor gaps — EU leaders have allowed millions of people into their nations who bring with them a culture that, frankly, is hostile to Western culture. While Europe’s leaders stumble over themselves to be overly gracious and accommodating to the flood of Muslim refugees they are allowing onto the continent, those same refugees are actively plotting to replace European culture with their own.

European leaders, then, are enabling the slow, steady suicide of their nations. And the Muslim hordes are only too happy to accommodate them.

Any nation that permits a foreign culture to occupy its streets and demand the implementation of an authoritarian form of government and religious bigotry is not aiding and abiding “tolerance” and “inclusiveness,” it is allowing a foreign power to gain a foothold that will only be dislodged with bloodshed.

Europe will see its streets run red with blood — much of it will be European blood — before this “problem” gets solved.

Are We Being Set Up For A Crash? Stocks Hit A Level Only Seen During The Bubbles Of 1929, 2000 And 2007 /bugout/2016-12-13-are-we-being-set-up-for-a-crash-stocks-hit-a-level-only-seen-during-the-bubbles-of-1929-2000-and-2007 /bugout/2016-12-13-are-we-being-set-up-for-a-crash-stocks-hit-a-level-only-seen-during-the-bubbles-of-1929-2000-and-2007#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-13-are-we-being-set-up-for-a-crash-stocks-hit-a-level-only-seen-during-the-bubbles-of-1929-2000-and-2007 By Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog

(Bugout.news) Will the financial bubble that has been rapidly growing ever since Donald Trump won the election suddenly be popped once he takes office?  Could it be possible that we are being set up for a horrible financial crash that he will ultimately be blamed for?  Yesterday, I shared my thoughts on the incredible euphoria that we have seen since Donald Trump’s surprise victory on November 8th.  The U.S. dollar has been surging, companies are announcing that they are bringing jobs back to the U.S., and we are witnessing perhaps the greatest post-election stock market rally in Wall Street history.  In fact, the Dow, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 all set new all-time record highs again on Thursday.  What we are seeing is absolutely unprecedented, and many believe that the good times will continue to roll as we head into 2017.

What has been most surprising to me is how well the stocks of the big Wall Street banks have been doing.  It is no secret that those banks poured a tremendous amount of money into Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and Donald Trump had some tough things to say about them leading up to election day.

So you wouldn’t think that it would be particularly good news for those banks that Trump won the election.  However, we seem to be living in “Bizarro World” at the moment, and in so many ways things are happening exactly the opposite of what we would expect.  Since Trump’s victory, all of the big banking stocks have been skyrocketing

Financial stocks in particular have been on fire. Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) are up about 20% since Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton — and that makes them laggards!

Morgan Stanley (MS) has gained more than 25%. So has troubled Wells Fargo (WFC), despite the lingering fallout from its fake account scandal. Bank of America (BAC) is up more than 30%.

And so is Goldman Sachs (GS) — the former employer of both Treasury Secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin and Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon.

But are these stock prices justified by the fundamentals?

Of course not, but during times of euphoria the fundamentals never seem to matter much.  Stocks were incredibly overvalued before the election, and now they are ridiculously overvalued.

Earlier today, a CNBC article pointed out that the cyclically-adjusted price to earnings ratio has only been higher than it is today at three points in our history…

“The cyclically adjusted P/E (CAPE), a valuation measure created by economist Robert Shiller now stands over 27 and has been exceeded only in the 1929 mania, the 2000 tech mania and the 2007 housing and stock bubble,” Alan Newman wrote in his Stock Market Crosscurrents letter at the end of November.

Newman said even if the market’s earnings increase by 10 percent under Trump’s policies “we’re still dealing with the same picture, overvaluation on a very grand scale.”

And of course a historic stock market crash immediately followed each of those three bubbles.

So are we being set up for a huge crash in early 2017?

There are some out there that believe that this is purposely being orchestrated.  For example, Mike Adams of Natural News believes that the markets “will be deliberately and destructively imploded under President Trump”

Right now, the U.S. stock market is surging, with the Dow leaping toward 20,000, a number rooted in fiscal insanity and delusional expectations. There are no fundamentals that support a 20,000 Dow, but fundamentals have long since ceased to matter in a financial world hyperventilating on debt fumes while hallucinating about utopian economic models that will soon prove to generate fools instead of real wealth.

Today I’m going on the record with a prediction that I’ll offer with near absolute certainty: The rigged markets that now seem to defy gravity will be deliberately and destructively imploded under President Trump for all the obvious reasons. There will be financial chaos like we’ve never seen before: Investors leaping off tall buildings, banks declaring extended “holidays” that freeze transactions, and California pensioners slitting their wrists after they discover their promised pension funds were just vaporized by incompetent bureaucrats.

On the other hand, there are others that believe that Trump is just walking into a very bad situation and that a crash would be inevitable no matter who was president.

History tells us that there is no possible way that stock prices can stay at this irrational level indefinitely.  But for now a wave of optimism is sweeping the nation, and many of those that are caught up in it will get seriously angry with you if you try to inject a dose of reality into the conversation.

But like I said yesterday, let’s hope that the optimists are correct.  A survey that was just taken of 600 business executives found that 62 percent of them were optimistic about the U.S. economy over the next 12 months.

Incredibly, that number was sitting at just 38 percent the previous quarter.

For the moment, business leaders seem to be quite thrilled that we have a business executive in the White House.

Hopefully Donald Trump’s business experience will translate well to his new position.  And it is certainly my hope that he is as successful as possible.

But even during the campaign Trump talked about how stocks were in a giant bubble, and the euphoria that we have seen since his election victory has just made that bubble even larger.

Throughout U.S. history, every giant financial bubble has always ended very badly, and this time around will not be any exception.

Trump may get the blame for it when it bursts, but the truth is that the conditions for the coming crisis have been building for a very, very long time.

Geopolitical observers see ‘World War III’ developing once more in Europe, as civil unrest fears grow /bugout/2016-12-12-geopolitical-observers-see-world-war-iii-developing-once-more-in-europe-as-civil-unrest-fears-grow /bugout/2016-12-12-geopolitical-observers-see-world-war-iii-developing-once-more-in-europe-as-civil-unrest-fears-grow#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/bugout/2016-12-12-geopolitical-observers-see-world-war-iii-developing-once-more-in-europe-as-civil-unrest-fears-grow (Bugout.news) Both of the world wars in the 20th century began in Europe, and as civil unrest on the continent continues to grow, thanks to ham-handed immigration policies, globalist-minded leadership and a crumbling economy, many geopolitical observers believe World War III will begin there as well.

As reported by the UK’s Sunday Daily Star, Europe’s leaders are said to be preparing for mass civil unrest “as multiple catastrophic problems engulf the continent.”

The site further noted:

It comes after months of warnings from experts – including top military brasses – that massive economic issues, mass immigration, and terrorism will lead to a full-scale crisis.

They have predicted this will affect the entire continent, eventually leading to civil war on the streets.

In December 2015, one of the most apocalyptic warnings came from André Blattmann, the Swiss head of the armed forces.

Blattmann, who left his job just weeks later, said the combination of hybrid wars, the economy, and the refugee crisis would have “unforeseen dimensions.” 

He then claimed social unrest was something Europe’s leaders and armies had to be prepared for.

What’s going on? What has Europe in such near-chaos?

For one, EU leaders can’t seem to figure out that flooding the continent with different, and oftentimes hostile, cultures (mostly from northern Africa and the Middle East) is having a major destabilizing effect on European society. Rather than address the assault on European culture, EU leaders hide behind phony accusations of “racism” and “bigotry” (sound familiar), all while their respective populations seethe with resentment.

For another, the rise in Islamic terrorism across the continent—terrorism that is coming from adherents to a single religion—has led to hundreds of deaths in several countries, and yet EU leaders like Angela Merkel in Germany continue to allow their countries to become inundated with more and more migrants from unstable, war-torn Muslim-dominated countries.

As the Daily Star noted further:

Just weeks ago, French scholar of Islam, Gilles Kepel, told German newspaper Die Welt that the eventual goal of Islamic terrorism was not to simply murder western people in Europe. 

He explained the purpose of bloody and vicious attacks on innocent people is to incite hatred among the general population of Muslims in general. 

By doing this, he said they would encourage more young believers to take up arms against westerners which would eventually lead to civil war on the streets. 

Professor Kepel said their goal is to build a caliphate from the ashes of crumbled European cities.

Finally, the ascension of anti-EU leaders in many countries is creating uncertainty about the future and a weakening of the supposed bonds that have held the various nations of Europe together for the past few decades. Tens of millions of Europeans no longer feel like their leaders have their countries’ best interest at heart. Britain’s vote to leave the EU may soon be followed by one in Italy and perhaps even France, the latter of which has been hardest hit by a wave of Islamic terrorism.

Next year could see the beginning of the end of the EU, which of course will be opposed at every step by the globalist elite. The masses, in the end, may get their way but it could be at the destruction of their nations.
