Open Thread - 10-30-26 - 'Tis the Season of Fear

The Halloween season is here. It's the scary season for little kids.

Boo!

Political Silly Season is here. It's the scary season for big kids.

Boom!

-or is it-

Boom boom, out go the lights!

I can't speak for anyone else, but I refuse to succumb to fear.

If the threat is real or not, I'm prepared.

My advice, get some provisions (just 3 days of food is a joke, IMHO) and live your life as normal since we have no control over things anyway.

Hoka Hey!

I'm as prepared as I know how to be, and will deal with the insanity as it arrives best I can.
As we've discussed, fear is the mind killer.

Got all the taters dug and curing. Also got the persimmons harvested and ripening. Good harvest from both crops.

Taking off the truck camper top today to set up to get horse manure next week.

Hope everyone has a good Halloween eve! Thanks for the OT!

@Lookout
who knew that that all one needs is three days of food and water to outlive the end of the world.

Boo!

to outlast the trumpet idiocy. 3 years maybe?
Funny how trumpet brought in a barge with anti-
aircraft batteries to 'protect' his Miralago compound.
What is he afraid of? Make enemies of the world and
face the consequences.

The military has begun preparations for mass casualty
events for the first time since Korea. Hmm.

Zionism is a social disease

@QMS
a psyop. When every media outlet, internet influencer, youtuber, etc. are all squawking the same line, you can bet something's up.

But, that's just me.

What, me worry

Nobody gets out of here alive and he not busy being born is busy dying. Hence, one might say prepare but don't fret. Prepare for what in the only question and in this immediate time period, damn near anything. As a result, one can't really prepare for anything and everything, so, as in everything else perhaps fall back on

moderation in all things, but never let the gas tank fall below half full

For those so inclined, remember that

dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope

This is also true of eggs, flour, water and many other things, but, all the same we keep a handy-dandy cash hoard, because cash has many amazing properties.

be well and have a good pone

That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --

@enhydra lutris
and if you don't mind, let me add one more thing [in my best Columbo voice]:

Their goal is to get us on a CBDC (Stablecoins in our realm), they've made that very clear. They know that a majority of people wont do that willingly, so they are going to scare the bejesus out of everyone to the point where people beg big daddy government for help.

In my humble opinion, this three day stock up is one more step in that direction.
