Routine, Area Study & State Level Collapse

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, Psalm twenty three four and also the eighteenth entry in a month of first the free Routine from the Relentless Prepper Broadcasting Network. That is getting away from you. It's getting away from you if you're not careful. You know. Very interesting first today. One that I can say, I've never done cook food using hot rocks stone boiling technique. Okay, so I know of it, but I've never done. It's one of those things, right, So I'll heat the rocks up in or around the fire and you can use them to boil water or use them to cook cook directly on right. But they want what they want stone boiling technique, so that's what they're thereafter. I've never done it. It would be a first for me. I don't know if I will do it. There's a good chance I won't do it because it's going to be one hundred degrees. Though I do plan on an evening fishing trip with Lady Liberty. It could work its way in there, depending on how the fishing is. We do have a four mile run or rock which is going to almost kill me. Today and I cannot wait. Four mile run in the trails is tough on a cool day on a day like today, and I'll probably fold in some push ups along the way. It's going to be a beast. It is going to be a beast. You know it will. Unfortunately, it'll take away from my tire, my tire flipping of the old giant up the street firestone. I really do love that thing, man, and today would be a great day for it. It's cooking out here already. I'm so oh man, the heat returns. It's just wonderful. I don't know what it is. I don't know why the Intrepid Commander likes a base level suffering so much. I've been working out with my son a lot, and he's very displeased with his strength, and I don't know why. You know, it's not like he spent years lifting weights or anything. He never lifted weights. You know, he doesn't lift weights. So now he's lifting weights. You know, he's fourteen going on fifteen, coming to the gym kind of regularly, and you know, you don't realize, Like one of the things that people don't realize is how you get used to things. Right in my family at large is used to a level of active and a level of effort that a lot of people aren't, and you don't realize it when you're with your family all the time, me and my wife in particular, right and just seeing you know, you go out in the world and you see, you know what effort people are willing to give, and you see people kind of toast, you know what I mean, just just done for the day in a moment where you're kind of like, this is like the warm up. In other words, I feel like I'm on the warm up when I see a lot of people kind of calling it a day. Dave Jones, the NBC guy, can understand this, Jordan, she can understand this, you know a lot. In fact, a lot of the hosts, if not all, of the hosts of the Prepper Broadcasting Network completely understand this. And I don't know. I guess that's what it takes to do a podcast every day, right, or every other day or once a week or whatever it is, and on top of everything else in a life. So that's what's on the docket for a month of First here we are starting a new week. We have tremendous shows up right now, We've got a great show about inflammation and arthritis and herbal medicine. Medical Monday, come on excellent Church and State Today about the you know, the magic of America. It is really like a coming to America's story and success story. And one of those things that I try to convey to my kids and I hope you convey to yours too, it's people want to come to that. No matter what people say about America, right, no matter what they say about the country and it's racist and evil and white people are mean and what it's collapsing, America's done. It's finished. It's being wagged by the tale that is Jerusalem, right or Israel rather whatever they say, Like, here's what's the reality. People want to come here. People will die to come here because they know they can become rich. And it happens all the time. Happens all the time, all the time. People come here from places that are literally collapsed or collapsing, or get thrown out of their country or run from the despotic leadership of their country. Come here, work hard, get you know, make millions. Happens all the time. It's just amazing to me that we can just discount that you know, our society, our society discounts that. We also discount the military. You know, we completely discredit and discount the military. It's amazing what's been done in Iran and the Look, I'm not happy about the gas prices. I don't want the war to go on and on and on forever. I'm not interested in it. I'd love to see it wrapped up. But I'm no general. I don't know what the hell's going on down there. Right, It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and say this went well, this went wrong. Trump did this right, the military did that wrong, this right, and so on. If there were a military Olympics, though, this is this is the kind of world that the United States military has to live in. And maybe the only other comparable one is is uh, the Israeli military, But it's not even that bad with them. But if there were a Military Olympics, the world would be judged, you know, for bronze, silver and gold, while the American military would be judged only for like better, like platinum, you know what I mean. Like they'd be the only the only entity, the only military on the force who sets out to do a campaign and the world and even the citizens now and of course the news outlets because the military is run by Donald Trump. Even the military, even the news networks are looking for utter and absolute and total perfection, right, unabashed and total perfection, undeniable. Right, No planes? Can remember the plane went down and it was like, oh my god, can you believe it? We lost a plane, We lost two planes. There was a fire on a boat. Can you believe there was a Do you believe something went wrong? You remember when Russia went into Ukraine, a war that they seem to be losing now as far as I can tell, But do you remember when Russia went into the Ukraine and the tanks ran out of gas and they just left them? Yeah, we all laughed. But it's such a it's such an amazing thing to see when you watch what the what the United States media does to its own military. You know what I mean? When virtually nothing bad has happened, you know you're going to war like this, You're in a military campaign, whatever the situation is. It's like, this is this is serious. This is not a pickleball in the evenings with your buddy, my father, he always reminds me of this. You know, I don't do as good a job as he did when I was growing up, but he did a tremendous job of reminding me all the time. It is the greatest place, you know. And the truth is, you have to be reminded. You do have to be reminded that this is the greatest place on earth because it's human nature to take things for granted. That's it. It's literally, it's human nature to take things for granted. People take things for granted. And that's the whole story. PBF family. And if you know, it's maintenance, it's maintenance. I dedicated an entire page in the book I released last year in the spring called Poems for Men. I dedicated entire page to like a four stands a poem and I don't even know what the title is, no idea, but the poem was all about that everything requires maintenance, you know, and men are the ones who do the maintenance in large part. But without maintenance, everything falls apart. And it doesn't matter matter what it is, you know, it doesn't matter if you've got like like, if you've got married and you had like the greatest marriage of all time, the greatest love's tail of them all, and you were head over heels in love, like, get back to me in twenty years. You know what I mean. These things require maintenance. Everything in life requires maintenance. You know, we here at the homestead, I mean, the homestead is pretty at a kind of at a low point right now for me. Actually funny enough, because we we have been overtaken by trees and we are going to pull the trigger in a few weeks to get some serious trees cut down or cut away, trimmed back. And we've been dominated by the Now. We still have a lot of stuff growing, don't get me or it's not like we don't have anything growing, but our traditional garden beds have really suffered. We've moved into a lot of potted plans to kind of follow the limited sun. We've grown in a few different areas. But the way that we used to grow change a lot, and the yield, you know, the yield for some of the larger producers changed a lot. The hell is going on in the woods bows sounds like a battle of squirrels because you know, maintenance, right, maintenance. Right now, I have a raised bed that is completely engulfed by raspberries. I mean completely completely engulfed by raspberry thicket. And that's just what that is, you know what I mean? Oh, hold on a sec from Afar, I see the raspberries have begun. Who knew it? Who knew it? I kind of wasn't paying attention to him. Yeah, well they are starting, which makes sense though it is getting late in May. Yeah, they'll be they'll be going here soon. We cut them back a bit this year. We cut them back quite a bit this year. And the mulberry tree is producing. That's good. But yeah, everything's maintenance, man. You know, you can almost look at all your problems as maintenance. You go back like, what do you know? The whole thing? So just one of those things. It's the same deal with pride in your nation and the realization that you live in the best place on earth if you're an American citizen. It can get old, you can get used to it, you can get comfortable around it. Right, It's just like anything else. But many of you know that already. You fly your flags, you do your patriotic things, and I appreciate that. I do. I do. I have another aspect of maintenance, you know, is why live at an ever changing area? Demographics building and you know, changing the whole thing, and elections, all of it. You know, I live in an area that really requires some maintenance on the old area. Study and influence changes. Politics change, well, in Richmond, politics don't change very much. Did The degree of radicalism is what changes more than anything. And now with dear old Abbey up there, the mother of Mayhem up there in the uh in the king seat, we're seeing a lot of interesting things, right, a lot of a lot of strange and interesting things. But that is what it is, you know. I I can tell you that really knowing as much about particularly if you're in a suburban area, about the resources old and new, the infrastructure old and new, that and the plans moving forward. You know, Richmond itself has a master plan into the works. I won't bore you with the details, but it's you know, built from the government, so you know it's going to suck. And it's a master plan, which I think is really funny to have to of all the things you could have called it, to call it the master plan in the capital of the Confederacy always kind of kind of cracks me up. When I see the signs, I'm like, guess, couldn't come with anything better than that. Why did you call it the lead plan? For God's sake? So the area study software is amazing, you know, in all transparency. It's uh, it's in our newsletter. I'll put a link to it in this show. It is a a paid affiliate money maker for the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Just so you know that. You know, that's the that's part of the deal. But the other part of the deal is it handles pace, It handles route planning, it handles you know, incredible map overlays tell you all about your area. There's a built in nuke map which allows you to detonate nukes over high value targets in and around your area. You know, So say you have, like I do a naval base down there in Norfolk, I can detonate a nuke in or around that area and see what that would look like. Obviously, it's going to be a problem no matter where it goes off. But understanding are you going to be incinerated at at detonation or not can really put you at ease and change your plans. You know, there's a lot of people out in the world. I don't think this audience so much, but there's a lot of people in the world who assume, like, if there's a nuke detonated in my state, I'm dead. Now long term, you might be right. If it blows up nine to ninety five, it could be a different kind of death. But we're one of the main highways that lead to your area. But all of that stuff, Man, what really blew me away about it is the repeaters and the mesh nodes. The live repeaters and mesh nodes. Now I haven't tested them, so can't say yes they exist. I guess I could test test the mesh node pretty easily. But the amount of information for that area study map is it's really incredible. You know, Forrest did a really great job putting that software together, and you know it. What I like about it most is if a if someone who wasn't a prepper, and I mean a real prepper put this together, there wouldn't be all the things in it that are in it. There wouldn't be the details that are. And one of the reasons is because preppers will go where other people won't go, and the nuke map is it just screams prepper to me. Right, most people will be like, I'm not putting that might scare people that might this, that might that. Preppers always boldly go where other people won't, especially in the thought process in the planning, right, we boldly go there. We were the first ones to say, long long, long before Jason Medical, long before survivalscripts dot com, right long before these people existed. We were the ones who said, hey, you may want some backup antibiotics. You know what happens if the China doesn't want to give us antibiotics anymore? What happens if we run out of antibiotics and your kid gets an infection? Right, We've been on this thing a long time. We've been. We've been because that's kind of what preppers do in the foreshadowing, in the planning, right, we boldly go where other people won't with our thought process and then with our actions. Right all of a sudden, Oh, they're taking action. We're doing these things, you know what I mean, we're finding the answers and all that. It's not always easy, you know, and you have to be brave. If you're willing to admit it that you're a part of it, then you're doing You have to be brave because people are going to say, oh, that's kind of crazy. Why you're doing that for? Oh, that's kind of nuts. What are you doing that for? What are you a crazy person? Putting away fish, antibiotics, What are you gonna eat them? And I eat freeze, dried food, dehydrated What are you gonna do? You know, all this kind of stuff. But I'll say it like I've always said it. You know, history will look back and say we were the on ramp for society. You know, preppers built the on ramp for society to survive what we're living through right now. Now, what's coming? I said a couple of years back, as s HTF is here, because it is here. It harkens back to a concept, and you're seeing it now. You're really seeing it now. Maybe two years ago at the most, I used to talk about state level collapse. Right state level collapse, it's the blueprint of California. Right state level collapse is California. You're looking at a state that has mismanaged itself so much that it's in a state of collapse. And the reason I even thought up state level collapse was really kind of thinking about a collapse, an economic collapse, a civil unrest that would would wipe out the entire nation or something along those lines. And I started thinking highly unlikely, man, highly unlikely. But you know what's real, damn likely state level collapse. Watching these Democrat run states that have no reason and no common sense absolutely dissolve under the weight of their own stupid decision making. And there and and relentless paying out of uh, you know, monies to people who have earned nothing, do nothing, help build nothing, give nothing back to society, you know what I mean. And that debt, you know then just and and that along with sort of DEI hiring, you know, all the kind of things that just if you were setting out to build the worst city you could, right, you would say, give anybody the most important jobs based on you know, their gender and their race, not their expertise. Make sure that you take money from people who are paying into the system in gobs and give it away to people who aren't and don't want to do anything with their lives. And you know, carry on, don't punish the criminals, let them out quickly, and let's see how it goes. So I think one of the things like that we're witnessing, particularly with the team takeovers, radical homelessness, radical drugs, radical you know, criminals who have been let out time and time again and are still rampaging and killing. We're now witnessing the next level of the next phase of state level collapse, you know, in California's pretty damn close, you know what I mean. We're getting real close to seeing what what the peak of a state level collapse looks like. You know, what does everybody starts leaving, you know what's happening in New York, and you get to see what is this really going to look like at it peak? You know, because the thing about state level collapse, and I believe this about California is that you can look at it the way that a neighborhood collapses, and I think it will work that way. I think it the same way that a neighborhood collapses and then is gentrified. As much as people hate that, I think the same thing will happen to states. You know, everybody will leave, even though very worst the of the state will either die or leave right because eventually they'll come a time where you can't the tax base is so far gone and the federal government is so tired of sending you money that you can't support. You know, millions of homeless, drug addicts that never want to go back to work. I know there's a portion of the population that want to get back on their feet that you have to be honest, there's also a portion that has no desire to right, and they're going to live in giant groups and do drugs and have sex and spread diseases and it's going to be terrible and then lots of them are going to die, lots of That's gonna be the darkest phase is that lots of these people are gonna die. And I think once all that's done, all that gets cleared out, then all of a sudden, people are gonna move back right, once there's nothing left to be had, it's slash and burn a low. Now, I don't know, because the weather is so great in southern California, it might not work that way. Maybe a movement from the south, right, an invading movement from the south, might recapture that land and take it over. I don't know. It depends on who's president, right. But what we're gonna witness and what we're in the midst of right now. You see all this violence, you see all these you know it's also because the internet and cell phones. But we're witnessing these radical blue states that have been that way forever collapse. Right. They can't handle the crime, they can't handle the populations of people who have discontent, right, just the whole thing all of a sudden, like people are moving big giant rocks, and underneath those rocks are billions in corruption money that was supposed to go to help people that has just been buying absolute criminals and the worst elements of society cars and houses, vacation homes and all that kind of stuff. And it could bring about a Balkanization. It is bringing about a mass migration, but it is very much a state level collapse, you know, and you would do good to, you know, juke out that collapse or at least put yourself in a position where you know, in a short amount of time you can adapt, you can run, whatever the situation is. I'm not telling you how to live your life. You do what you want. If you want to fight to the last man, that's okay too, it's nothing wrong with it. But just be very where, you know, particularly if you're the type of prepper who thinks there's going to be a sign, there's going to be a symbol. There's going to be an event, right, There's gonna be a great event, the great unfolding where everything collapses all at once, like we're living through something right now. We're living through an SHTF right here and now, and you better be aware of that and you better be taking action truly. And if you're in if you find yourself in one of these cities right then you know you either either prep to be on your own for a very long period of time or prep You know all these things because it is the reality in which we live. You know, if you're in a blue state, I'm in. I am not in a blue state per se, but I am in a very blue uh locality. I could tell you that much. So when I tell you, keep your wits abouts, you about you, remain adaptable, become as self sufficient as you can, and keep your finger on the pulse of things via an area study. Like I'm telling you from my own working position in battle, right, I'm telling you from my own position behind enemy lions here with the Mother of Mayhem at the helm there. You know, because it is what it is. We all have a station in life, right, we all have this these lines in the sand. You know, there are a lot of people who the red line was crossed two decades ago, and they've long been living in isolation or far away, or in a new place, or in a new community of people they all get along with and being as self reliant as humanly possible. I think it's important for you to understand where yours is. And if you don't have one, then that means you likely crossed it already. Do you know what I mean? You likely crossed it already. The crime doesn't affect us. If it affects us, and we see it affecting us, then that's a red line. Right. If the neighborhood goes to shit, that's a red line. Right. There are things here in Richmond that are just so beautiful and so wonderful that we've considered leaving. In twenty twenty, we were house hunting, wrapping our head around that idea what that would look like for us and for our family, and we decided against it, and we have ever since decided against it, and we've thought a lot more about what that looks like. Taxes and those kinds of things. You know, what are the limits? And we, you know, we have a lifestyle and if that lifestyle is interrupted by chaos and calamity, then we will build a new lifestyle beyond Richmond, and we'll likely take people with us. I don't think it'll be a you know, a singular move, but some of you out there might be praying for that. I don't know, but I'd rather you pray for me to be able to stay here. You know, we should all pray for the beautiful United States of America to overcome this nightmare and find prosperity through leadership that is at least reasonable in some of the greatest cities in all the world. And then, of course we should prepare for the chance, the higher percentage chance that that doesn't happen, and that these cities are going to have to suffer through a cycle, you know, an absolutely horrible and terrible cycle, because that's likely the case. So PB and family, if you want to do your own area of study using the area of study software, I'll link to that down below, do me a favor. Share this podcast, Share with the people that you know that live in big cities that need to understand state level collapse. Spread the word as best you can, because everybody should know. Everybody needs to know the reality of the situation they're living in doesn't mean America is not still the greatest place on the planet. But you should know if you're living in a tinderbox, right And you should also be able to tell when things are changing in your immediate area. Right. Oh, this is not where the place that it used to be. I don't have anything planned for this evening. I think I'll catch small mouth, So I hope you enjoy your night. Check out the great shows.
