    Deacon Bill and his wife Ramona became our good friends. He loved my lab, Otis - he used to call him "elevator".

    I would have loved to meet him and his wife. Barbara and I have talked about taking a trip / vacation to EWTN, Alabama. Some of the people just feel like family!

    Hi Gang,

    A friend/neighbor sent me this and I decided to take a listen. I think it's worth listening to as it dovetails into what many others are speaking of here and elsewhere ..... and what I've been thinking must come sooner than later. He is speaking from a North America perspective but EU is essentially similar, methinks. He is a financial/computer guy and spends the first 10 min explaining his "system" and then speaks of what may come in the next 6/7 months. You will have to "click-out" of ads every 5 min or so. He also mentions people buying Bitcoins. Bitcoins, in my opinion, are no better than paper $$$ and like paper $$$ is backed-up by nothing but Hot-Air. If you are going to invest in something, I'd start with food, water and everyday items that you will need .... and find others of Faith and Good Will to Hang-out with ...... and what to do when the Cops don't answer the 911 phone! :( PRAY & PREPARE!!!!

    NEW UPDATE Clif High Webbot 2017: Clif High Talk about Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Political Scum ...........

    We had a storm several years back and a tree came down across our very rural road which was promptly run into by someone travelling much too fast for the conditions. I called 911 and it rang and rang and rang. I finally hung up and by the time I had gotten out to the road (I move pretty slow) the car was gone. POOF! Glad they were ok. It's really not a bog deal when dispatch doesn't answer, you just carry on.

    The neighbor and I couldn't do much. There were power lines involved and neither of us wanted to mess with the wrath of the power company. The power had been out a few days at that point and would remain off for another 4 days after that.

    That night after we had all settled into our makeshift beds in the living room near the wood stove. Several hours later around 1AM I am awakened by a RAP RAP RAP at the front door. Being rural, I cautiously approached with trusty pistola in hand and found a Sheriff deputy standing there asking me why I had hung up on 911 lol. He was genial and we had a good but brief conversation and I bid him good night.

    So my then young children had a lesson in why crazy old dad is constantly saying that we have to be prepared in times of crisis in the event that there are no emergency staff available and we will need to handle situations ourselves.

    This video is old BTW and he references 2016 toward the end.

    I enjoy fixing things, gardening, hunting, firearms, having a small piece of property out in the sticks and most of all my family and being a Catholic. It's good to think about how we would go about helping each other if something like this were to happen. Having a good relationship with your neighbors can go a long way when things get dicey. I have some really sketchy neighbors near me and the Sheriff is there at least a few times a year hauling people off to jail but I talk to them occasionally and offer help now and then when I am able. It would be pretty disappointing to lose contact with the people here but I think all of us would be plenty busy with other more important things.

    This priest is addressing the USA but I expect that there is that feeling of hopelessness in Europe too. History demonstrates the Hopeless People all too often pick the wrong leaders to "save' them from their troubles. Hopeless People are desperate people. The French/20th century Marxist Revolutions and Nazi Germany come easily to mind. The American Revolution is an example of Right Choice! The big difference? US Founding Fathers, weak humans as they may have been, choose to recognise and seek God's Will & Guidance in their Revolutionary Quest!! Are we at The wye in the road or past? Which movements are God Centered? Which movements are BigBro Government Centered? Which movements are false god centered? Time to choose sides! .... Time is short! Pray, Prepare and Watch!!

    VDH "Tells It Like It Is" and gives us a possible positive outcome ... I Hope/Pray he is correct! However the USA/Earth is a much different place than it was in 1968 (The year I graduated from HS). Then the Folks who fought thru WWI, The Depression and WWII were still around and running the place (Government, Schools, Churches......). Folks who had a simple Faith in God, Faith in the USA and cherished the visions of The Founders of Our Republic. Those Folks are Gone with the Wind and replaced by ........ ???? .... :( .... also much diminished are our once productive cities/industry and the Military that liberated Europe/Far East and Nation that provided the Blood, Treasure and Nuke Umbrella that allowed the rebuilding of Europe ....so they could go down their merry godless Socialist way! :(
    Many here have probably seen the movie "American Graffiti". That movie was exactly like the HS years I remember ... way back then!:LOL:
    My younger sister saw a much different environment just five years later! An environment changed by the Anti-War, Hippie, Drug, Sex and anything goes "Culture" of the Marxist Left. That "Culture" of those Loud & Violent "Protesters" of 1968 that VDH refers to are now running The Democrat Party, Media & Hollywood ..... and, sadly, seem well entrenched in the hierarchy of Our Church :mad:
    Talk Radio, Internet, election of Trump and the awakening of People of Good Will with a message of God, Honor, Duty and Country is a Happy Sign .... soooooo .... Take a Stand with Hope and Prayer ....... but Keep Your Powder Dry!!

    CrewDog,

    Thank you for the post. There is so much going on in the world it is difficult to say what will happen with the USA from an economic point of view, well, that is really always difficult to say. The reason I mention the economy is because that is how the article from VDH wrapped up, more or less, with a discussion of the USA's economy.

    A few months ago I was talking to a friend of mine about all the problems right now and that was the argument that he gave me. He said that the stock market continues to break records and that unemployment is declining. I remember thinking to myself at the time, these are good signs but it left me with an empty feeling at the time because I was discussing moral decay in our society and he was reflecting on the economy.

    My comments are not a reflection on the current administration and I think that positive things are happening in many ways as a result of the election of President Trump and Vice President Pence without a doubt. Lately, I suppose that I am a very negative person but time will tell what the future holds, as you have said.

    With that said, I came across that following three articles today. I am posting them so we are not caught off guard in relation to the economy.

    "Double Disaster (a story of Puerto Rican corruption and waste)"

    http://fullmeasure.news/news/cover-story/double-disaster

    It would not be difficult to alter this article and make it about California, Illinois, Connecticut, New York ........

    https://www.mercatus.org/statefiscalrankings

    The USA is near bankruptcy with $20 TRILLION admitted debt and another $$100+ TRILLION in unfunded liabilities.

    https://www.watchdog.org/issues/acc...cle_08675297-5a15-5da9-8b47-1afbf5295f4a.html

    How many times have you heard, past 10 years, some Smart-Money Guy saying that the fiscal path of The USA is unsustainable? At the end of unsustainable is societal collapse ..... like Puerto Rico .... except there be no Global Sugar Daddy there to bail us out!
    Have Ya seen the news about Venezuela lately? Theirs is the perfect example of Societal Collapse, Corrupt Government, Unsustainable Debt, Tyranny and Human Misery.
    Buy some "Powder" and "Keep It Dry" ..... while those Greenbacks in your wallet can still buy something!!!

    And even more craziness...

    Hustler founder Larry Flynt offers $10 million for dirt leading to Trump impeachment
    October 15, 2017
    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...on-for-dirt-leading-to-trump-impeachment.html

    Hustler founder Larry Flynt is running a full-page ad in Sunday’s Washington Post offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the impeachment of President Trump, Fox Business reports.

    Anchor Liz Claman tweeted a photo of the ad, which reads: “Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine announce a cash offer of up to $10 million for information leading to the impeachment and removal from office of Donald J. Trump.”

    In the ad, Flynt airs several grievances about Trump’s actions as president, including his firing of FBI director James Comey and his “gross nepotism and appointment of unqualified persons to high office.”

    “Impeachment would be a messy, contentious affair, but the alternative – three more years of destabilizing dysfunction – is worse,” the ad reads. “Both good Democrats and good Republicans who put country over party did it before with Watergate. To succeed, impeachment requires unimpeachable evidence. That’s why I am making this offer.”

    The porn producer notes in the ad that this “is not my first rodeo,” citing past rewards for information on Republicans like former Rep. Bob Livingston in 1999, who resigned from Congress after admitting to an extramarital affair, and Sen. David Vitter, who weathered a prostitution scandal in 2007.

    “Sure I could use that $10 million to buy luxuries or further my businesses,” Flynt writes, “but what good would that do me in a world devastated by the most powerful moron in history?”

    I think that some of our nation's poor planning and poor maintenance continues to catch up to us and hurts us greatly financially also. Some of the following articles are over a year old but they tell the story of the continued issue of flooding which Louisiana and other places have had to deal with including with the horrific flood in Baton Rouge in August of 2016 which they compared to a "500 year flood event". Some people are still waiting for help, other's have been helped very recently. At least one man has decided to build his own mini levee.

    http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/452776/russian-nuclear-scandal-what-did-hillary-clinton-know

    Could it be that this gigantic festering pimple on the USA's Butt might get "popped"?
    Like lecher Harvey Weinstein's 35 years of criminal Hollywood activity ..... could Billary be "Unmasked" for 40 years of political corruption, sex crimes, pay for play, collusion and selling of secrets, technology with/to China, Russia and ... God only knows who!!?? .... TREASON .... Oh!! Not to mention the Clinton Body Count that is beyond belief!
    Not without a Global Fight, Friends!!! .... and "Wag the Dog distractions" ........ and :(
    Geo. Soros just "sent" $$18 BILLION to his godless, USA Republic Hating "Foundations"! Global Elite Media, Democrat Party USA and any number of other unpleasant "Agents" will "Fight to the Death" to protect Billary 'cause the demise of Billary means a Global Left UN-Masking that will not sit well with many rich & powerful entities ... including, I believe, Satan!!

    Hey Gang,

    I'm thinking that this Uranium One "Deal" is something to watch very seriously!
    If this scandal does "break-out", as it should, there are some very Powerful &/or Rich Perps in Politics, Departments of State, Justice/FBI, Media and Nuke Industry that might get burned ... and badly! Ya corner a Rat and they will fight like hell! Evil Rich &/or Powerful "Rats" have been known through History to bring down serious damage on whole Nations in order to protect themselves:

    Yep, and true to form the rats make the accusation against its enemies of the very thing that they are guilty of. I have a hunch that this one isnt going away. My hope is that Wikileaks has some corroborating evidence that it is holding which would blow this whole thing wide open once and for all. We will see.

    Maybe Hillary is preparing for what she fears will happen next. This article is from a few days ago, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Clinton-accuses-Assange-colluding-Russia.html .

    'He's a tool of Russian intelligence': Hillary Clinton accuses WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of colluding with Russia during the US election
    • Clinton claims WikiLeaks worked with Russia to damage her candidacy
    • In an ABC interview she called him 'a tool of Russian intelligence'
    • She added he was a 'nihilistic opportunist who does the bidding of a dictator'
    • Assange hit back at Clinton on Twitter calling her 'creepy'

    Yep, that interview is exactly why I started thinking about the idea that they may have info pertinent to this whole thing. She doesn't do anything that isn't well calculated in advance. So, getting out ahead of the story will help her. I am sure she is counting on it in fact. I have prayed so so many times that the veil is lifted off of all of these people and the truth would come to light. Then our nation could begin to heal. At least this is my hope.

    The simple fact that the Clinton Foundation accepted 140 million from Russian sources let alone the money they have accepted from China should be front page news across the nation. Yet, the only places reporting on it are vast right wing conspiracy sites. Too bad for them that those sites have begun to be well accepted by the people as telling the truth. Much more so than the corporate leftist propaganda they call news these days.
