CP Thoughts

With the election "concluding" next week, many "prepping" folks are putting out their wild conspiracies and marketing their paranoia. It'd be funny if they didn't have a following where people make real world decisions based on much of the nonsense out there.

No, we are not heading into a complete SHTF situation. And, as WNC demonstrates, community is what's important. Surviving requires connectedness to community and skills. Now is the time to become connected and learn. On the job training is ALWAYS subpar.

Many now understand the importance of communications after watching what happened in WNC. The Mt. Michell repeater was a lifeline for those asking for help and those just LISTENING to the communications. The flawlessness of that endeavor came from years of practice by net control operators and many of the "eyes/ears" in the community. It was those screeching out over their Baofengs (for likely the first time) that hindered operations. Don't be that guy next time around.

Thus, I push getting a GRMS and/or technicians class amateur radio license when asked about preparing for the next event. Do you know how many times I hear something like, "In SHTF, the bad guys could look up my address in the FCC database" completely missing the point that their intent to buy an arsenal is registered in NICS. They'll use credit cards to buy ammo and purchased their equipment from Amazon.

I really don't understand this paranoia. Everyone is in a database somewhere that is publicly or semi-publicly searchable. To avoid the opportunity to practice and build a skill because of a very low, no extremely low, risk is asinine. Even if you only use GRMS to communicate with family while at the park or caravanning, you will start to understand limitations and capabilities unknown before relying on it for disaster communications.

Moving forward.. focus on community building. If you haven't spoken to someone in awhile then reach out, see how they are doing. And, get licensed and use radios for communications. Remember, Andrew Grove may have been right about business, but wrong about life. In the future, only the connected will survive.

China Chickens

China is now closing mosques and converting them into barns for raising chickens as a way to fight radicalism. China officially considers Islam a ‘mental illness.’ Do you like this idea?

Rising

🛢📈 — Reuters reports that oil is approaching $100 per barrel following the latest exchange of attacks between Americans and Iranians on oil tankers.

▶️The price of Brent crude has risen to $97.07 per barrel, while American WTI crude has risen to $92.28. In the past week, Brent has risen by 7.8%, while WTI has risen by nearly 10%.

▶️On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian oil tankers, one of which was stationed near the island of Kharg, a key center for Iranian oil exports. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and three more U.S. ships.

▶️In this context, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined. Over the past 10 days, an average of only 10 cargo ships have transited the strait per day – the lowest level since May.

Destruction

The WHO now states on its website:

Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.

In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
