The vaccine mandates may be over, but members of our military are still getting punished for being right and not taking the jabs. 1st Lt. Mark C. Bashaw from the U.S. Army has been court martialed. Listen to his list of accomplishments as read by the judge:
🚨Tomorrow, I will be discharged after 17 years of service for refusing to participate with the experimental EUA CV19 products (mask, test, injection).

General Michael Flynn weighed in on this travesty:
This young man’s treatment at the hands of the horrific leadership we have inside the armed forces right now is absolutely outrageous.
Listen to the description of this officer from the court martial convening authority in this audio recording.
Why would the military want to throw away 17 years of not only honorable but stellar service when they have completely rescinded the dangerous policies they knew at the time were dangerous policies?
This must change and will change when we have new leadership in the WH and in the Department of Defense.
DOD must ensure that our military is prepared to fight and win our nation’s wars and no longer will it be a social and cultural experiment for the woke Marxist left bureaucrats we currently have running our country.
God help us and to @MCBashaw thank you for your years of courageous, dedicated service. You’re better days are ahead!

The fight against medical tyranny isn’t over. The Biden-Harris regime continues to punish those who were smart enough to not get jabbed. We must keep fighting the good fight.
Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
Why would the military want to do it?
Isn’t it obvious? They want soldiers over whom they have complete and total control, who would turn against US Citizens, even their own family, friends, and neighbors, if ordered to do so. If they’ll inject themselves with that poison fake “vaccine” that doesn’t even do anything except to further endanger the person taking it, then they’re also more likely to follow orders that good men wouldn’t and shouldn’t follow.
I’m an over-the-hill man, smoker, out of shape. I never took the clot shot. I’ve had covid twice, and for me it was about like having a cold. It was nothing. For young and healthy soldiers, it’s even less severe. The so-called “vaccine” doesn’t stop the spread. It doesn’t stop one from getting the virus. And for young and healthy soldiers, it couldn’t possibly affect readiness whatsoever. The only reason they’re mandating it is CONTROL. They want submissive “yes men” who will not hesitate to do the unthinkable. It’s that simple.
The second time I caught covid, btw, was from some people I work for who did take the clot shot, with the boosters, and they had a worse time with it than I did. One of them almost died last year almost assuredly because of the clot shot, and doctors privately and quietly confided such was the case. His lungs filled up with clots, finally reaching the point where he could not breathe at all, was just about in heart failure, and they got him to the ER barely in time. At that point, he hadn’t had covid. All he’d had was the shot. As far as I know, he’s still having to take the blood thinners because of the clotting problem, and those are an altogether different danger by themselves. You can just about bleed out from a paper cut.
The only reason the military is doing this is specifically to ensure soldiers are weak-minded, compliant, and subservient enough to carry out unthinkable orders. There’s no other reason.
Not last year. Year before last. I must be getting old or something. Time is flying by too fast.
Now that I think about it, there could be one other reason. Which would be that they intentionally want to weaken the minds of our military personnel to the point that some other country or entity could waltz in and easily take us over.
As with what happened in Afghanistan, that unthinkable order could also be to stand down
Which is probably why they’re deliberately saying they won’t shoot down a spy balloon. It’s a matter of conditioning. A Psyop on the people of the United States. Apparently we’re all supposed to get used to, and desensitized to, being invaded, or more likely, they’re trying to desensitize the public concerning national sovereignty. All working toward the foretold one-world government. Satan needs military that will do the Antichrist’s bidding, no matter how horrendous and unthinkably evil.
As far as that goes, they may not even realize what they’re doing at all. They’re certainly being used of Satan, whether they realize it or not.
