- If you work for the government or a large corporation, in the not too distant future (very soon if recent events have taught us anything), you are going to be “asked” to sign something preposterous. It will be some sort of woke bullshit where you denounce conservative values and affirm the official communist narrative. This may appear voluntary at first, but it won’t be in reality.
- You are going to be restricted from normal banking activities. The banks will start to flag transactions involving conservative donations, gun purchases, etc. and they are going to fire you as a customer because they have classified you as “high risk” due to association with “terrorist” financing.
- Inflation. It’s a simple mathematical fact that printing money will cause prices to rise. And the democrats and RINOs are going to print a ton of money. This will be gradual at first, but eventually the dollar will lose its reserve currency status to either the yuan or euro and demand for dollars will crater.
Tips for preparing:
- Spend as little as possible.
- Transfer your bank accounts to a local, state regulated (very important) community bank.
- Keep as little cash as possible. Start quietly buying physical gold and silver. Don’t sell when the price rises - it’s only a way to retain purchasing power. Tell no one except your wife/husband. Store it securely, obviously.
- Controversial, but pay down your mortgage ASAP. Theoretically with inflation, you’re going to be repaying with much cheaper dollars. However, good luck getting your salary to keep pace with prices of necessities. If you even still have access to banking, a higher percentage of your dollars will be spent on basic necessities.
- Develop a skill that will give you concrete value in an underground economy. Electrician, plumber, HVAC, etc. Start taking weekend courses at your local community college or technical school.
- Do everything you can to get out of a deep blue state. Red states may be able to stiff-arm some of this stuff for a while.
I hope that the courts will intervene and prevent some of this, but even if they do, I don’t expect anyone on the left to comply with their rulings. They will sidestep and obfuscate, drag it out with years of appeals, the whole time ruining your ability to make a living or participate in the official economy.
Stay strong and take joy in this test. Be faithful to your principles. Don’t do anything that future you would be ashamed of.
Thanks for being awesome everyone.

so, lemme get this straight, this kind of post won't get you called a "doomer", but trying to speak reality to people huffing the hopium that there's "Still a way" to get Trump a second term will?
I’m sure it will get me called names. I don’t care what people call me, I just want good people to be prepared. Hopefully by now people understand that this isn’t tinfoil hat stuff.
The human brain is a vast and mysterious place.

Except this is actually already reality. Even working at a Subway, you can get fired for posting anything against work policy on your FB page and your boss some how finds out. Been happening since 2008. When I worked at Boeing, we handed out literal trophies (physical awards) to honor homosexual workers, no matter how bad their performance was and how inappropriate they may have been - the award made them impervious to disciplinary action of such action was actually justifiable.
2 - You are going to be restricted from normal banking activities. The banks will start to flag transactions involving conservative donations, gun purchases, etc. and they are going to fire you as a customer because they have classified you as “high risk” due to association with “terrorist” financing.
Banks already flag those transactions. Just ask any cop or investigator.

Printing money does not automatically equal inflation and I'm sure you know that. You need to print to control the money supply as GDP grows, but the printing press is there for a reason - it helps afford crisis. The Euro will not be be future 'Dollar' because of this since the weakness of the Euro is it's inflexibility for it's member states. Italy, Greece, France, ect, all do not have printing presses to print cash in times of need so when debt soars, they cannot crush the debt in anyway. This is why Britian/ UK had it made in their Euro block - they maintained sovereignty over the British Pound as thus retained a Printing Press. Brexit really was economically for nothing but a statement from the masses that they're sick and tired of globalism. It was a bad choice, but a good statement.
As we know from the leaked CCP video, China plans to dominate the world exchange future by finally opening up their economy to the financial markets abroad. It's the Yaun that'll likely be the next global exchange currency. Maybe.
Tips for preparing:
A - Spend as little as possible. - why? If inflation is a concern, you savings will shrink in value and you lose more money in the long run than you do if just spend it into hard tangible product now.
B - Transfer your bank accounts to a local, state regulated (very important) community bank. Keep as little cash as possible. Start quietly buying physical gold and silver. Don’t sell when the price rises - it’s only a way to retain purchasing power. Tell no one except your wife/husband. Store it securely, obviously.
Ah ok. Well you have the same idea although I could care fuck all about gold. The best thing to invest in is self reliance. Build a home and do everything in your power to invest the infrastructure to take you and your family off the grid. That alone is worth more than Gold.
Credit Rating will be even more crucial going forward. I've personally been using the tactic of loading smaller CCs that I use for daily spending and simply paying them off - keeping a rotation of cash constantly moving. It prevents me from carrying cash entirely and believe me, I've been robbed before. You lose cash, you are not getting it back. But lose 5,000$ via a stolen card? You're going to get every cent back. Travel lightweight. The plastic insurable. Keep your real stash back home and locked up.
C - Controversial, but pay down your mortgage ASAP. Theoretically with inflation, you’re going to be repaying with much cheaper dollars. However, good luck getting your salary to keep pace with prices of necessities. If you even still have access to banking, a higher percentage of your dollars will be spent on basic necessities.
Because of covid, many 401ks are letting you withdraw with personal loans the whole amount. A lot lf my buddies have completely paid down their mortgage in one payment now and are quickly paying it back. I support this if at all possible.
D - Develop a skill that will give you concrete value in an underground economy. Electrician, plumber, HVAC, etc. Start taking weekend courses at your local community college or technical school. Do everything you can to get out of a deep blue state. Red states may be able to stiff-arm some of this stuff for a while.

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
I paid off my land in November so worst case scenario I can sell everything else and move there and start building. Snow should be melted before shit really hits the fan. Definitely going to look into steps 2 and 3 real soon.
