Batten Down the Hatches!!!

Maybe you know what a zombie is. When a person dies and is varied, it seems a certain voodoo priests who will have the power to bring him back to life. Horrible, It's worse than horrible, because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring. You mean, like democrats, PBN family, batten down the hatches if you're on the east southeast, and uh, God bless the folks who went through the march feet of snowfall. Wow, Mother Nature's fury is at the core of preparedness. I mean, I don't know what else to tell you, Right, it's one of those things you can bet on it, you can count on it. You will be affected by rains and floods and winds and hail and of power outages in the whole nine yards. And the fact that basic prepping is somehow still not you know, adopted by everybody's just well's silly to me. You know, it's a weird thing. We can disconnect, you know, the unlearning, the one hundred year amnesia, the unlearning, whatever you want to call it. I don't care what it was called I don't care the perpetrator's Democrat, whatever, Rockefeller, It doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is finding our way back to human right, finding our way back to human before we find our way to Cyborg or whatever the hell else is waiting around the corner. So batten down the hatches, tied down what's important, Flip over the things that could blow away way. If you're in the southeast, I tried to reach out or I reached out to the Phoenix this morning, because western North Carolina is getting hit earlier naturally than Richmond, Virginia where I am, and I'm trying to see, you know, what the hell's going on there? Who knows? Who knows how it will all play out? Backup power, backup lighting. Right. These things that are available at Red Beacon Ready Dot Shop, they're not just there for you know, because whatever, because other survival stores sell them or prepper stores really more than survival stores. The items that are that are available to purchase up on Red Beacon Ready Dot Shop right now will will literally be in play today in my own household. That was what I was going for. I was going for those things I wanted to build a shop out of the things that I actually use. And what you're gonna find out is Commander doesn't use a ton of expensive stuff. You know, we gotta do a show on prepping for zero dollars and zero cents. I was thinking about creating a big, giant course, poor man's prepping course, because I don't know. I've just been really good over the years of doing things very cheaply. I don't know, And I can tell you we've weathered a lot. We've lever weathered a lot in our household. Nothing too cataclysmic, right, but we've weathered a lot through the years. We'll see what this afternoon has to bring. We could add a new chapter just for those of you who don't know. We're in a big line of tornadic activity. From like two o'clock to five o'clock or something like that, big massive wind gusts in the whole nine yards. Power goes out. I'm sure wind and wind and big trees, you know how that good? It is early though, early season, the wind don't don't bring down the trees as easy. It's also been pretty dry, you know. They don't have to leave so that they're not like sales. But whatever, you know, this is it. This is the natural disaster level preparedness. This is what one of the aspects of prepping. You know, what are the other aspects of prepping? Well, you know you have you have tyranny. Right, we're all prepping for tyranny. You don't buy ar fifteens for a tornado, you know what I mean. We're all prepping for civil unrest. We're all prepping for tyranny, government oppression. We're all prepping in the battle to stay human. Right, We're all prepping in the battle to stay human and stay American. Let's be real. Isn't that really what it all comes. That's why there's the undercurrent of Christianity, That's why there's the undercurrent of patriotism in the prepping community, because we're all prepping to sustain that above all else. That's really what it is. You know, And for years and years and years we've had to like can beat around the bush. You know, you couldn't say that, You couldn't say what your nation was literally founded on. Right, you live in a place that was founded on the idea that government overreaches. Real people gain lots of power, and then they become kings and humans aren't meant to live under kings. You can't talk that way, like that's crazy, that's like a crazy for a long time anyway, Now it's impossible to ignore, impossible to avoid. You know, even those of us who voted Donald Trump, heaven forbid, Heaven forbid, you voted for the other candidates, we even understand that there's a tinge of tyranny happening under his own presidency. Now you can explain it away with Congress, explain it away with radical leftists, whatever the situation is. But you know, you know something's not There are things that have happened since the man's been in office, and you've been like, oh, I don't know about that one. I don't know if I like that. I'm in case in point the war, right, we can justify it. We could. If it all goes well, we'll look back and say, great move. But you know, it's not the way you do things. It's not the way we do things. We don't just say, hey, we're gonna go in and have a little ourselves, a little war, okay, because the president wants to. But years and years and years things have gone this way. We've gone you know, in the direction of what it is, and what it is is bloated executive power that needs to be rained back in. Right, The executive power needs to be rained back in. Too strong. The executive branch in the in the United States is too strong, and the legislative branch in the United States is too Uh what are they They're too quiet? Yeah, they're too quiet on the things that matter. Right, The legislative branch needs to be more fervent in the protection of their representatives, not their ideologies. They gotta be more voracious on the Senate floor and on the floor of Congress largely and explain themselves. Right, All the problems of Congress can be solved by forcing people to explain. That's it. Just force them to explain. So you want to pass this bill that would limit people's access to certain firearms, explain why, and give us some data, and and explain to me how the common man who carries a gun everywhere, it's never gone off. It doesn't go off like magic. They don't go He doesn't pull it out and shoot people with it. He never will. Explain how, you know, how does that turn into a gun control problem that you need to take his gun or make sure he only has this magazine or that gun or this thing or that, you know whatever. By the way, how about the Richmond, Virginia two A protesters. I didn't know this was going on, or i'd have been there. Oh, i'd definitely been there. I don't know how I missed it either. I've been paying a lot of attention to this stuff. You know. There was one email last week. One of all the emails that come through to me in a week, there was one I didn't open last week and I felt bad about it. And it was the Virginias of Civil Defense League. It was the they are the Second Amendment battle grounds, and I did not open it. I was happening a very busy end of the week. And I bet you if I go back and open it, they'll say protest, big protest at the cap. Well, it wasn't too big. It's kind of a smallish protest, but I guess it was big for the situation in Richmond. Guys handing out pmags and listen. So if you're thinking about I've heard two really great things for those of you who are Virginia Nights, right, who were members of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I've heard two great things. If you're looking to buy thirty round mags, right, I've heard two good ones. One by local, because these guys are in big trouble, right, the guys who sell the thirty round magazines buy small by local because they're gonna have a lot of stuff they're not allowed to sell very soon. If all these laws go through, and it's gonna put them out of business, let's just go right to it. What Abby's doing, the mother of Mayhem, What the mother of Mayhem, our new governor is doing is putting people out of business who sell these things because they're vilified because they've they've sold. I'd love to know how many just a little gun store owner, how many magazines thirty round magazines he's sold in his lifetime, how many ar fifteens, how many you know, whatever you name it, right, you name the assault weapon and accoutremont, and how many of those items were ever used to kill anyone or even hurt anyone. She's even user error, right, even operator very small. I'm probably none for the vast majority. But those guys get to get put out of business because, uh well, because Congress and the representatives, your representatives in the United States have no idea what they're doing, and they're not there to protect you, and they haven't been there to protect you in a long time. That just is what it is. That's I mean, that's the in and out of it. That's the quick up and down, right. So they had a protest, a lot of people out there talking about, you know, protecting Second Amendment rights, begging the mother of Mayhem, please don't take away my Second Amendment please. Which I hate. And one of the guys wrote to p Meg and said, Hey, we're gonna have a big protest, would you mind sending a few magazines to give out because they're gonna be outlawed soon in our world. And they sent a whole palette, so everybody who showed up to the protest, they handed a p mag to couple. I don't know. I wasn't there. I don't know. It's a beautiful story. It's a beautiful story. And here's why it's a beautiful story, because it's a reminder that people are gonna take them home. Maybe they're gonna fill them up. Maybe they're not gonna fill them up. Maybe they will resell them and try to make money. I don't know, uh, but it's never gonna hurt anybody, right, it's never The magazines are never gonna hurt a person. They're never gonna kill a person, you know what I mean. It's just bonkers to me that we've reached this point. We can reach. We've reached this point where an emom in a mosque in America teaching people how to stone women to death, or you know, the proper way to overtake Christianity is fine. I mean, while they're shooting and bombing and threatening bombing and throwing bombs, that's fine. And if you say anything about that, it's islamophobic. But an American wants to buy a firearm or god for a bid of thirty round magazine. I mean radical right wing, radical right wing, anarchist, terrorist, state of affairs whatever, boring right, boring, stupid people making stupid laws that won't fix anything in the country. The day the law goes into effect, there'll probably be a shooting in Richmond, Virginia that'll be with you know who knows, right, most likely with a handgun that's unaffected by the same old thing, right, same old thing. What are you gonna do? Right? Wake up every day and lose my mind over idiots on Capitol Hill. I won't do it. I can't do it. You know, the coffee's too good, and the PBN is too relentless, and the incredible PBN audience too. By the way, we got a lot of great stuff coming up, folks.

I read something from Alex Hormosi the other day that I'm really gonna start to do my best with You may not know who he is. I'm not gonna explain who he is. He's not some guiding light of mine, but I do. I do read his work from time to time because I respect his mindset. But uh, he said, he said, by I'm gonna forget it now, he said, buy products from your friends' businesses and get free stuff from you know, people. You don't know as businesses. Basically, in other words, it's kind of talking to content creators, but also talking to the average person too, Like when you're gonna spend money, spend it with people that you appreciate, right. In other words, don't badger and nobody does this to me. You guys are all great, by the way, Don't badger your business owner friends for a freebie, right, ask the big corporations of the large companies or whatever for a review product, a freebie, a test product, what have that kind of stuff, and then buy the things that you want. Spend your money with the people you you know, you know and trust and appreciate. Goes a long way, you know, go. A long way. The other thing you'll find in our in our shop Redbeacon Ready Dot shop is a bunch of our friends stuff. You know what I mean. In fact, I have to add the Prepper disc in there today or this week, at some point, got to add the Prepper disc. The Prepper disc is is on the board now. I mean, it's where we can sell it. And it's such a cool tool. I don't want to go into it because we're talking about enough stuff already. I don't want to get into war with Iran and all that kind. I don't know, we've reached We've reached that sort of slog of war, right, that slow slog of war now where all of a sudden it starts to fade to the background, and the calendar just paper just keeps ripping, and before you know it, five years go by and you're like, oh, we did the Middle East thing again. Oh yeah, yeah, we did that Middle East thing again. I don't know if I could take another three years of Donald Trump, though, getting on the news saying we beat Iran while we're sending more troops in more more stuff, you know what I mean. I don't know if I could could deal with that too much longer. But anyhow, so. This is just what it is, you know what I mean. This is the state of affairs here at the you know, the United States of America. I don't know. Never forget the power that you have to control this world. Okay, never forget it. There is so much in the world nowadays that is designed to make you feel powerless, hopeless, helpless, and you know, you're like a few dietary changes, some lifestyle changes, a few chickens, a nice big garden, and a concealed carry license away from feeling really good about your state of affairs. I'm honest. I mean, you know, these things have a profound effect on the average person if you have none of it going on. If you think you're you're walking around like in your pajamas and crocs thing that like, you know, you're just a sheep to be chewed up by a machine, corporate or otherwise. I mean, it's easy to feel that way, but it also doesn't take a whole lot of effort to sort of flip the script to all of a sudden. Be oh wait, I do have strength. I do have autonomy, baby, I do have my own will, I do have my own choices, and I've forgotten it. I've forgotten it because I thought my job was to sit here and flick the screen up and down and worry and then fill my worried hours outside of work with you know, like video games or something like that. Nothing wrong with it. I love video games, but you've got to find the discipline and the will to strengthen your mind, strengthen your body. And yeah, I like, I have to say it out loud because it is true and it does exist and it will eventually come around. But I have been considering and kind of in my head working on a American culture something presentation, podcast series, something, because I keep running into things that are uniquely American culture, you know what I mean, Like freedom itself. You know, freedom is not a thing that exists in people's minds everywhere. And watching the Iranians really made me think freedom is not a thing that people even want everywhere. It's not easy, you know, people think it's easy. The left wing they in the country. They think it's supposed to be give me everything and shut my critics up. But another thing, you know, and this is going to make you mad if you're poor or struggling, but listen, it's not what it sounds like. Another uniquely American, culturally American thing I think is resources. Like I really think that, I really think, like you'd think of the American continent, and you think of resources, right, Like, don't you you think like we founded this nation and we didn't really know what we were getting into. We didn't have geologists south west going like, oh, by god, dude, you got to get out here, right, But we happened upon this heaven on earth that is literally like a self sustaining continent, right, And even so from the national perspective, we've taken advantage of that, right, No, duh, who wouldn't, right? And then the nation itself, the literal structure of the nation itself, has sort of this innate security. And I think, like, like security itself might even be American culture, because these are things that are built into you that you don't really think about. But there's it's like Freudian, you know what I mean. Not Freudian in the sense that it's it's Freudian, but Freudian in the sense that Freud created so much that fits into our society that we exist in it, we live in it without even realizing. It's freud you know what I mean. It's christ Like in many ways, right, most people who aren't Christian live like Christians, you know what I mean? To some degree. They you know what I mean. They don't profess it, but they you know, most people turn the other cheek. Most people love thy neighbor, right do unto others the whole thing. We wouldn't have a society if that weren't the case, right, I mean, we're getting there, you know what I mean. Every day I go on X and I see about fifty people punching each other in the face and kick each at a quote unquote festival, at a quote unquote maw, at a quote unquote show, at a quote unquote event, there's like a stand c hearing baseball style brawl in the middle of an event, And I'm going what and wigs are flying off, and. What's happening here? Folks? Can we get ourselves under control? But like I said, we wouldn't have a society otherwise. But there's something to be said about resources. And I'm not meaning like stacks of gold or stacks of cash, but I think it really does have to do with self sufficiency of resources, in other words, the opposite being. You know, it's not I don't know that it's American culture to have everything you need owned by someone else and you have to go give them money for it. Right. You can say capitalism capitalism, and that's fine. I don't have a problem with capitalism, but I do think that there's something about owning, managing, creating your own that is inherently American, and on top of that, understanding the natural resources that exist around you and taking advantage of them. Right, I don't know, I'll flesh it all out. I'll write it all out. Maybe it'll be maybe it'll be my Thomas Paine moment, you know what I mean. But suffice it to say, it's a thing. There's a thing. There are pieces of American culture that are coming together in my mind that are that are literally the culture, you know. I mean a lot of people are always like Americans. I have no culture. It's just a meltic. But no, I don't think so. More and more I'm starting to see what it really is, you know, I'm starting to see what the American culture really is. It's not been defined, you know what I mean, It's not really been well defined. It's hot dogs and cookouts in mall trips. No, I mean, it's there's the thing there. You got to know American history, you know, not a lot, but a little bit and really look at the continent and look at the governments, and look at the businesses, and look at sort of the experience, and go back maybe about one hundred years imagine that before the amnesia began to really sort of understand like, oh, this is this is America. Like when even when immigrants come to this country, they adopt this sort of idea and they adopt these sort of cultural things. Right land, I mean, you. Know, so batten down the hatches, folks, charge up to back up power supplies, gas up the generators. God only knows what's coming to the southeast east coast right now as we speak and in the coming hours. This is your time to shine as a prepper, right this is this is the time to get things working and get things together. So you know, do that, do that thing, be prepared. Maybe mother nature leaves excuse me, leaves nothing in or awaken. If that's it's the case, great, But we have time to prepare now, so we might as well do it, right. We might as well tighten things up, tie things down, fill things up, and plan for what it could be. You know, after one of the special bonuses we're getting here in Richmond is after the tornadoes and thunderstorms roll through. We're gonna get a temperature drop down to freezing, so that'll be real nice, you know, power outage freezing, you know. Lovely talk you soon, PBN family.
