Let It Snow.
Merry Christmas!
friday, december 21st, 2012
i remember when it was "unfashionable" and very "un-PC" to say Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, just a few years ago. It may still be, but I could give a flying rat's rearend. Never have.
It's not Xmas; it's Christmas. It's not Kwanzaa Krap; it's Christmas. It's not Festivus; it's Christmas. It's not Happy Holidays; It's Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! Get that straight; don't compromise on it with anyone.
When I had my Garden Center & Nursery Business from 1990 to 2011, I always wished customers and friends a "Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year". And 99.2% happily-wished me the same, right
I notice especially at large retail stores: "Happy Holidays", which makes me puke. I always respond, Merry Christmas!, and the clerk usually smiles, and sometimes quietly-mouths the exact words. I know that many of the PC-hampered chains – Sears®, Kohls®, Target®, Wal-Mart®, Giant®, True-Value®, Weis® etc – are firmly-instructed to use the "HH" phrase, and I understand the clerks' fear of their HR Dept's mandated, non-offensive "HH". Well, it offends me. F•ck Rama-lama-ding-dong, Kwanzaa Krap and Festivus BS!
Most Americans still prefer signs in stores that say "Merry Christmas" rather than ones with "Happy Holidays". A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American Adults prefer Merry Christmas. Just 23% like Happy Holidays, instead. Screw them.
Well, well; another ultra-tolerant atheist. Imagine that.
So, have a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! If you agree and that doesn't offend you; great. If it gives you a reflux problem; eat some hard cheese.
A Day In The Life
At 19°F, Friday was the coldest morning of the year, so far. I was up at 6:15, grabbed my Turkish Bathrobe, turned-up the heat, made some Fresh-Squeezed OJ w/ lots of pulp, brewed a ½ carafe of French-Roast, Turkish-Grind Coffee (from whole, freshly-ground Dunkin' Donuts® beans) with my Chemex® Drip System, and scanned the weather and new sites. I'd laid-out everything the night before, as I usually do, for a great breakfast, but the longer I sat, the less hungry I became. After some OJ and a mug of coffee, I finally settled on 2 SSU Eggs, Bacon, Hash Browns, as my appetite slowly returned. I left at 10am for my 10:30 meeting, and reviewed a 7-point "Project List" with Matt, the owner of Spartan Computers, in East York. Afterward, I stopped at the Eastern (Farmers') Market, just across the road, and wandered the aisles, looking at all the offerings. Too many people, too many cars – it's a madhouse on Fridays – so I left, drove to the local PO, dropped-off some bills, and went home around 12:30pm.
Is the world going to end December 21st? No, so don't worry about it. If it did truly end, all the preparation in the world wouldn't make a "tinker's damn worth of difference". SHTF is one thing; world ending is quite another. When the world ends, it ends. Period. But if you're here, reading this, and watching this, it obviously didn't.
While listening to Rush, I heard the incoming bulletins: CT school massacre. Damn, those mentally-ill, wacko nutcases just seem to keep killing innocents. I said a prayer for all those 20 innocent little souls and their 6 teachers. Here's what's coming for all of us law-abiding firearm owners: CWII.
I made a Roast Beef Sandwich & Fries Smothered in Gravy for lunch, worked in the basement, sorting files into various file boxes, went thru more computer parts and software, and got one older unit ready to take to Spartan on Monday morning, for a Win-XP Pro O/S reformat & reload. I'm giving that unit to Alan(R), in trade for his (and Arthur's) help in cleaning-out my basement, a couple of months ago. By 5pm, temps had dropped to 33°F, and I listened to the morning's missed Chris Plante Show Podcast and a few CATV programs, until 11pm. I shut-down the place and planned to sleep-in late tomorrow.
I managed to "sleep-in" until 8:45am on Saturday, made coffee, OJ and Steel-Cut Oatmeal w/ Bananna. 26°F and frost. I decided to get a couple of errands done, and just stay inside for the day to finish-up some niggling paperwork. Back by 11:30, I worked on the 1st Qtr 2013 Condo Budget, made Spicy Beef-Filled Ravioli for lunch, and went back to paperwork. I had to watch some CATV coverage of the Newtown Massacre investigation, but the "facts" are varying so wildly from the major reporting sources, I found myself yelling at the televised coverage BS, and turned it off. Dozens of federal, state and local authorities/agencies working on the case, and it's a crap-assed, 2nd-rate investigation so far, with widely-conflicting stories and mounds of non-facts. Total BS investigation, so far. I finally gave-up on reading/watching about it all; maybe they'll get it figured-out in the coming days. After working on my Sunday morning food shopping trip list, I set-up for breakfast, and quit for the night around 9:45pm, since I had to get-up at 6am. Cold and rainy for tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday.
I was up at 6am on Sunday, to a "warm & balmy" 42°F, and the westbound rain system passing both to the north and south of us, missed us completely, so far. I turned-up the heat, made some Fresh-Squeezed OJ w/ lots of pulp, had Fried Ham, Hash Browns & Sunny-Side-Up Eggs and coffee. While eating breakfast, and scanning weather & news sites, it was again the Newtown CT Massacre media misinformation stream, and AWBs (assault weapons bans) proposals everywhere. I started the WIN-7 Pro Back-Up procedure, left at 7:15 for my usual food shopping trip, got the few things I needed, came home and unpacked. Next, I ran a MalwareBytes Scan, got the week's mail and left for Dad's at 9:30. We visited for a few hours, Becky called to talk, and I was back home by 12:15pm. After a Fried Egg Sandwich & Fries, I took a short snooze on the LR couch. A massive t-storm system was moving up the East Coast from the Gulf States, so that would limit any outdoor activity or work for the next couple of days. Warmer days and nights on the way. The old WIN-XP Pro computer and software was ready to go into Spartan, tomorrow. I finally finished the last of the pending paperwork by 8pm, and packed-it-in by 8:30, as the rains arrived.
I slept nicely until 6:15am on Monday, heard the rain on the skylights and windows, and rolled-over for another two hours' sleep. Another semi-warm day at 48°F, foggy and drizzly, but I had things to get done, although I could have easily slept until 11am, or later. Heh; fat chance. OJ, coffee and Shredded Wheat w/ Fruit, and I was good to go. After driving to Spartan and dropping-off the computer and software at On the morning's trip, I noticed that gas prices at-the-pump have dropped an additional 10¢ since Friday 12/14: Unleaded Regular (87 oct) is down to $3.35/gal, Unleaded Premium (89oct) is now at $3.45/gal, Premium (93 oct) is at $3.65/gal, with Diesel Fuel/Kerosene dipping just 7¢ to $3.95/gal, at most stations, in the York (PA) area. 9:30, I came back and began the "Condo chores", and Hellam Twp called. They needed information on some large Norway Spruces I'd recommended removing from their twp bldg property, for a township supervisors' meeting Thursday evening. It was a mere formality, since they'd wanted to remove the old/declining 45-50ft Norway Spruces, and my advice was all that was needed for the go-ahead. I changed bed linens, and began the first of three laundry loads at 10:30. The rain got heavier and the fog got worse. I did some vacuuming, a load of dishes and paid some upcoming bills. I took a break at 12:30pm, made a Roast Beef Sandwich w/ Cheese & Chips for lunch, and kept at the chores until 4. I listened to the morning's missed Chris Plante Show Podcast until 6, when the live streaming Mark Levin Show came on, until 9pm. I watched some more coverage of the tragic Newtown (CT) Massacre, and quit for the day, at 10pm.
I got-up at 6:15am on Tuesday, turned-up the heat, had some Del Monte® Red Grapefruit Sections, coffee, Soft-Boiled Eggs w/ Toast in a bowl, and more coffee. It was very foggy again, in the mid-40s and it felt like an early Spring day. Heh; December 18th. Go figure. After another load of laundry, I left for Dad's at 10:15, visited for a while and came home at 11:45am. Crap, I hate folding laundry. If someone could invent a dryer which would auto-fold stuff after drying, they'd be an overnight zillionaire. Fat chance; 0bummer©would tax them to death.
After a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich w/ Hot Cheddar Cheese & Fries for lunch, I went out for a 2hr walk around the neighborhood and the nearby Galleria Mall. At 52°F, it was an opportunity not to pass-up. A friend and his wife would be coming by at 6:30pm, to purchase 1 firearm I had for sale, and I had to get the "accessorized package" costed-out on paper for them, so they could make an informed choice. That done by around 3:30, I listened to the morning's missed Chris Plante Show Podcast until 6:30, when they arrived. Done deal; we'll get the Bill of Sale/Ownership Transfer legally done thru a local FFL Dealer, in nearby Columbia (PA). In the interim, I'll continue to store it for them, in my gunsafe. They left at 8:30, and I caught the last portion of the Mark Levin Show until 9pm, and its replay at 9:15, until I began nodding-off at 11pm. I headed upstairs to bed; tomorrow's another day.
It looked like another crappy, cloudy, cold and drizzly day when I got-up at 8:15am on Wednesday, but it quickly cleared-off and temps rose to the low-50s. Nice. I made coffee, OJ, scanned the weather and news sites, and had Cream of Wheat w/ Cinnamon, and lots more coffee. The nice weather didn't last long; a stormfront moved thru and temps dropped into the low-40s, but no rain. I left at 11:15am to go to the bank, Weis Market and just get some fresh air on a drive. Back by 1pm, I made a simple Chicken Salad on Toast Sandwich and chips for lunch, worked on a few "Condo chores" and wired-in some new overhead lighting fixtures, in the garage. My neighbor picked-up some new firearms at Freedom Armory, and brought them by to show me and get some advice and handling pointers. I listened to the morning's missed Chris Plante Show Podcast, and then the Mark Levin Show, from 6-9pm. That's enough, today.
In memory of the children and teachers massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary School, last Friday, please read this.
I was up at 5:30am on Thursday, made coffee, scanned various weather, news and AR-15 hardware/ammo websites (I'm not buying anything; just looking around), had some OJ and Soft-Boiled Eggs w/ Toast in a bowl, for breakfast. My friend who bought my 2006 AR-15 Pistol on Tuesday evening, called and asked if we could do the legal transfer today, and I agreed to pick him up at his business at 10am, and go down to Freedom Armory, to get it done. We got there at 10:30am, and were 6th in-line; after finally moving-up to first, there were 30-35 people suddenly behind us. It took about 30mins to get the NCIS approval, and we left at 11:45. After dropping him off at his business, I did a few errands, picked-up a Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger & Fries for lunch, and then home, as temps dropped into the upper-30s, and it began to sleet. Wow, that was one helluva burger and fries! Dad was shopping at the nearby Galleria and stopped-by at 2:30pm, and we talked for a while. I listened to the morning's missed Chris Plante Show Podcast, and then the Mark Levin Show, from 6-9pm, while doing revisions to the 2013 Condo Budget. By 10pm, I was ready for la-la land, and shut down the place. Tomorrow begins a new week, here in the "Journal", and since Christmas is next Tuesday, I'd like to wish you and yours, a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
You Own It, demokkkRATs!
ongratulations to the asswipe demokkkRATs, irrelevant "Free Shit!" minorities and stupid young people on the Truly-Shitty Economy you've created and inherited.

In a way, I am relieved that another good man will not be blamed when it becomes impossible to clean-up this mess that YOU voted for. Yes, moronic ∅bummer-asshole idiots: YOU!
Your TSHTF Survival
Are you truly ready for when, not if, TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). And a lot of my "Journal" Readers have emailed and called me to discuss what preparations they should take for that "coming awful event". Believe me, "it" IS coming. Based upon what's happening around the world and here in the US, I have a terrible, terrible *gut feeling* that TSWHTF (The Shit Will Hit The Fan), sometime in late-2012 or in early-2013. Don't ask why; I just do.
First, Israel is preparing for war, after being attacked for years on many fronts, and not fighting back as she should have. This war will truly have "Biblical implications" around the world. The Middle East is rapidly-collapsing under the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic riots (muslim Brotherhood) and rule ("arab Spring"), with world crude oil prices projected to hit $200+/bbl, or even higher into the $300-$400 range,
Just Google "survival" and see what comes-up. Damned-near everything you ever wanted to know how to prepare for this for-sure-coming "hellish holocaust", some of it in easy-to-download *.PDF format. Tens-of-thousands of websites are devoted to the topic of "survival". Do the same with "You Tube", and watch the thousands of videos. This is *NOT The Phony Y2K Crappola*; this is for real. I said numerous times that Y2K was a waste of time and money to prepare for, and that came true. I'm reading that "survival stores" are reporting a huge upswing in sales and preparations, and for good reason.
I'm also one of the very, very few who "predicted a 9-11 type event", 2 years and 8 months before it happened. Read down that "Journal" entry to the "Scary Stuff" section, and it was done by the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic shit/filth/trash, NOT the US Gov't as some morons and idiots (Alex Jones & Co), have and still It's interesting you mention when an old paradigm dies and a new one takes its place. There are people who are still connected to the old one and can't conceive of life without that old paradigm. I think you saw that in the Great Depression. A lot of people never recovered from it because once that hit it was the end of their lives. claim. Need I say more about those certifiable and murderous, subhuman muslim/islamist wackos who are determined to kill all of us Proud Infidels?
Am I an "conspiracy alarmist" or one of those "crazed survivalists", sequestered in a Montana, Idaho, Utah or Wyoming compound or bunker? Not hardly; I'm simply in mid-State Pennsylvania, an Eagle Scout, Class of November 23rd, 1963 – youngest ever Eagle Scout in American History, at 12 years old – Order Of The Arrow/ Vigil Honor, and our BSA Motto was then, and still is now, "Be Prepared". Need I say any more?
Forget all of the "buy gold and silver" bullshit commercials; buy "brass and lead" for your guns. They're a far, far superior investment, IMO. Ammo is truly a "fungible" item; gold & silver aren't at all. They may be "intrinsic", but they're utterly-useless in a collapsing/collapsed society or world. Do the requisite research, as I've done. 'Nuff said on that subject.
BTW, how are you stocked-up for incandescent light bulbs? Within 4 weeks, manufacturing and using 100w incandescent will become "a crime", thanks to stupid-assed, liberal moron chimp, shit-for-brains, George W Bush & Co, in 2007. You'll be forced, under penalty-of-law, to use the very expensive,
This government's ***CRIMINALLY NUTS***, in trying to regulate our use of anything and everything! It's fascism, socialism, Leninism and communism, dammit, and it won't stand! Where is that in The US Constitution? The US Government isn't empowered to force us to do or buy anything, and has overstepped its legal authority in The ENUMERATED Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause is quite specifically an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The Contemporary Commerce Clause debate, When "decided by the SCOTUS in the Summer of 2012", will cause CWIII, if upheld. Stockpile NOW, because TSHTF before/during/after the November General Election!
Gold is NOT the way to go; lead and brass (aka ammo) ARE. Mark my words!
TSHTF this or next year, and members of the corrupt, criminal US Congress are helping racist, commie, lowlife scumbag Barry "Fuck America!" Obama (SAMBO-IL), by either collaborating with him or cowering before him, on his You are going to see, in metro areas, the absolute worst in humanity, as the people that are most dependent upon a collectivist system, whether they're these Occupy Well Street people, or people who are loaded up with debt, they are totally unprepared for an economic reality where their paradigm does not function. As a result they're going to go through the absolute most disgusting inhumanity that I think any American has ever seen as they go through this anger phase – and it's going to result in riots, and starvation and bloodshed. It has to happen. You don't have people's life savings disappear and people become desperate, and not have that happen. coming "Race War" plan.
We are *at war with Iran*; no doubt about it. Get used to it. And shit-for-brains, racist, commie, lowlife scumbag Barry "F•ck America!" Obama (TRAITOR-IL) has politely "asked" for our formerly Top Secret RQ-170 Sentinel Drone "to be returned". What a dumbf•ck Obama is! He should be charged, tried and imprisoned for *treason*, IMO.
I've been saying, for the past 2-3 years, that no one should buy any gold or silver; it's worthless crap if TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). Instead, buy guns and ammo; they're a far, far better investment, IMO. Any questions?
Uh-oh, it's beginning to happen in Europe. Better get ready for it to come over here, soon, as The Fed f•cks America, once again. Time to abolish The Fed and its corrupt, criminal influence on America's economy!
Here's a very useful List of Barter Items, for when TSHTF. Get and stockpile those and more, if you know what's good for you and your family! Think I'm kidding? Better read this and think VERY carefully about it.
With the FBI already considering many US Citizens as "sovereign citizen extremists", are you ready for "Rex 84" & The FEMA Camps?

Don't let the possibility of DHS watching your every move deter you in preparing for TSHTF; do it regardless. Your and your Family's safety & survival always comes first. Beware of what your neighbors will do if you're prepared and they're not.
State and local resistance to the detention provisions contained in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) continues to grow, rapidly-emerging as a nationwide movement against the illegal and unconstitutional Federal Jack-Booted-Thugs' powers.
