I think we really are cooked

Economy is in a freefall, the man who did it is golfing, and his supporters think he’s playing 4D chess.

I must be living in an alternate universe because anyone else in this position would already be impeached.

With a handful of exceptions, it seems safe to say the entire political, military, and business leaders support this destruction of America

This is the part I don't understand. How is the MIC not making air force one have engine failure? Do they really think the Russians will be better customers than the entire rest of the fucking world?

It's deliberate. He/ they are angling for open insurrection so he can declare martial law.

You don't restructure the United States Northern Command for domestic use if you're not going to use it domestically.

u/z0_o6 2d ago

Can you elaborate on how NORTHCOM has been restructured?

u/chubby_pink_donut 2d ago

He changed its scope and purpose in one of the early executive orders. Its new mission is to operate inside the US, and parts are now at the southern border.

I love how the sponsored ad I'm seeing on this post is for Hollywood casino. Fucking chef's kiss perfect. Cherry on top of the dumpster fire.

This is by and large my favorite post I’ve ever read on this website, written over two years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/s/PqCVoO4Vm4

The gist is that Russia and China are in the process of building a new world order by “flipping the monopoly table” on the current order and starting fresh.

I see Trump and Elon as Russian and Chinese assets respectively and they are the chosen tools for these powers to end American hegemony.

I wrote my book shortly after I wrote that post... it's getting interesting now, and I remember at first I got a lot of naysayers when I first dropped that. A little less now, though.

Same when I wrote my article detailing exactly how the election would go, all the way back in July. Seems the election went exactly that way.

Most people don't want to hear or read data-driven predictions. They want emotionally sourced ones.

I'm glad someone read that post and appreciated it. Thanks for that.

Hey man, I appreciate the reply. I wasn't exaggerating; I found more value in that post than practically anything else I've read on this site in eight years. It was enlightening to me when you wrote it and it becomes even more so as time passes.

I'm very happy to see on your website that you have a YouTube channel now. Subscribed and looking forward to hearing your take on climate science that you alluded to in the most recent video.

Many thanks for providing such insightful commentary. Wishing you good health and best of luck in your writing, travels, and preparations.

u/Vegetaman916 12h ago

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I have actually been working on a video for a while now, about both climate change issues and resource scarcity. Both from the position of the old "Limits to Growth" study, and from a systemic viewpoint based on newer societal issues that were not foreseen by Meadows and company back in the 70s.

Most of my prepping viewers might not like it, but it's coming anyway, lol. I am glad you have enjoyed what I put out so far.

We don’t need more woe is me. We need plans, action, unity, and optimism.

What do you mean by “cooked”?

You are either not a veteran or not American. If you were both you would know F.U.B.A.R.

u/KathyA11 CIVILIAN 13h ago

Even non-veterans know what SNAFU and FUBAR mean - and use them on a regular basis.

I’m American.

u/Sonofbunny 1d ago

Okay, but not a veteran? Why are you here then? Not to try to push you out. Just out of curiosity. You just seem a little lost

u/Paintguin 1d ago

Because I’m a liberal

u/Sonofbunny 1d ago

Ah, well. This is a place for leftist veterans. Most particularly with a focus on U.S. veterans. You're welcome to stay and hang out, but please try not to judge the way we speak

u/Paintguin 1d ago

Why doesn’t the OP just say either one of those things?

u/nerdypeachbabe AIR FORCE (VET) 1d ago

Because there’s this thing called slang

u/VonnDooom 2d ago

Can you explain more and why?

u/sonictoddler 2d ago

Brother, you’re witnessing perhaps the most outrageous cash heist in history right now. This man and his buddies are about to snatch up a fuckton of stock in every company they can get their hands on at the lowest fucking price imagineable. And Trump can just lift the tariffs like a fucking conductor Bro this is insanity. This man is a Bond villain

u/thisoneismineallmine 1d ago

Imagine Obama doing any of this.
