Meds – American Conservative Movement https://americanconservativemovement.com American exceptionalism isn't dead. It just needs to be embraced. Wed, 03 Jul 2024 13:08:20 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 https://americanconservativemovement.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cropped-America-First-Favicon-32x32.png Meds – American Conservative Movement https://americanconservativemovement.com 32 32 135597105 How to Protect Your Food and Medical Freedoms https://americanconservativemovement.com/how-to-protect-your-food-and-medical-freedoms/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/how-to-protect-your-food-and-medical-freedoms/#respond Wed, 03 Jul 2024 13:08:20 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=209491 (Brownstone Institute)—In my previous articles, we looked at the global war on farmers, the organizations pushing for the Great Food Reset, the tactics used to foist these changes on the public, the projects underway to remove your access to healthy, farm-fresh foods, the mRNA, RNA, and DNA gene therapies entering our food supply, and how the One Health agenda threatens to destroy both food freedom and medical freedom.

So what can we do about it?

The good news is that there are many things we can do. Some of these solutions may sound extreme or inconvenient. But I am guessing many of you chose wildly inconvenient and deeply courageous paths to protect yourselves, your families, and your patients during the Covid psyop, and to avoid being injected with mRNA shots. The substances you take in through your digestive tract can be just as harmful as those that come through a needle.

Do not give in. Do not comply. Do not take the convenient route. It leads to serfdom.

  1. Get involved. Start speaking up about this issue to the people around you.
  1. Stop eating processed foods. They are an addictive poison and only becoming more poisonous.
  1. Join the movement to defund and disband the USDA, the FDA, and your state’s Department of Agriculture. Support bills that limit their power.
  1. Abandon the grocery store. At a minimum, aim to spend at least 50% of your food budget on food direct from local farms.
  1. Find local farms whose husbandry practices meet your requirements. Tour the farm and ask questions – what pesticides do you use? Do you vaccinate your animals? Are your cows 100% grass-fed? Where do you source your feed grains? Do you put any additives in your raw milk, and do you process your own meat? What chemicals are used in your meat processing? When you find a compatible farm, aim to purchase as much of your food as possible from them. You can find local farms at localharvest.org or through a local chapter of the Weston A Price Foundation. If you can’t find compatible farms locally, you can find farms that will deliver to your area at FarmMatch.com.
  1. Support raw milk farmers in your state, and defend their right to produce it, even if you don’t personally drink raw milk. The government bureaucrats view raw milk as the tip of the food freedom spear and believe that if they lose the battle against raw milk, they could lose the food freedom battle entirely. Let’s prove them right. If you want to find a local source of raw milk, visit getrawmilk.com.
  1. Build a local parallel society of like-minded people committed to supporting local food producers and looking out for each other in the challenging times ahead. This is crucial! When the truly hard times hit, it is too late to begin building community. Develop and strengthen your social bonds now, particularly in your local area.
  1. Vote with your wallet while you still have that option. Use cash when you can to prevent your purchases from being tracked and used against you. If your local farmer will take payment in non-fiat currency, even better.
  1. When a retail central bank digital currency launches and cash is phased out, or when states begin to crack down on food purchases that violate the planetary health paradigm, we’re going to need to be ready to transact in alternate currencies. It’s time to start brainstorming and testing payments in cryptocurrencies, pre-1965 silver quarters and dimes (known as junk silver), or by barter. Be creative and get started now.
  1. Plant your own garden. Study permaculture. It’s a lot easier to ramp up an existing garden with the knowledge you have gained from years of trial and error than it is to start from scratch when you really need it.
  1. Create your own seed vault of heirloom, non-GMO seeds. You can buy them or save seeds from your garden every year. Buy heirloom seeds from trustworthy sources like True Leaf Market.
  1. Get your own backyard chickens and find a local trustworthy feed source. Ask your local pastured chicken farmer where he gets his feed, or if he’s willing to sell some to you.
  1. Buy a large freezer if you can and stock up on frozen fruits and vegetables from farmers you can trust during the growing season.
  1. If you can’t afford a freezer, you can probably afford a couple of grow lights, seed-starting trays, organic potting soil, and seeds. Grow your own microgreens all winter for a small daily salad. They’re nutritious, taste good, and can be harvested in as little as a week. If you can’t afford that, get seeds and a sprout jar, and grow sprouts.
  1. Don’t blindly trust USDA-inspected meat and eggs. It’s a deep rabbit hole you’re welcome to go down, but eggs are washed with chemicals that leave them porous – absorbing those chemicals like chlorine, ammonia, and peracetic acid – and then the eggs are coated with soybean oil, canola oil, or other toxic seed oils which also absorb into the egg white. Don’t see it on the label? Anything that’s an “industry standard” doesn’t need to be listed on the packaging. For meat, that means your beef, pork, goat, chicken, and turkey are soaked with peracetic acid, GMO citric acid, chlorine, lauric acid, or other chemicals. Many of these substances are banned for food use in Europe yet required here. Amish farmer Amos Miller’s battle with the USDA has largely been about his refusal to spray so-called citric acid on his meat, which the USDA mandates for chicken processed in their slaughterhouses unless you want to use bleach or peracetic acid. You’d be excused for thinking commercial citric acid comes from citrus fruit. Instead, it is made from black mold and GMO corn. It is manufactured in China and then sprayed on almost all meat sold in grocery stores in the United States. Black mold is a known allergen and likely causes autoimmune disease. If feasible, only get your meat from dissident farmers committed to pasture-raised, GMO-free, vaccine-free meat and poultry who process meat without chemical additives.
  1. If you feel you can’t afford food like this, consider where your money is going, and if you can rearrange your priorities. It is possible you can barter labor for food with your local farmer. Be prepared to work hard. Also, recognize that the money you spend on truly nutritious food is money you won’t be spending later on medical bills.
  1. Constitutional sheriffs have played a key role in protecting farmers in several states when bureaucrats attempted to shut them down for selling raw milk and processing their own meat. If you live in a state that still recognizes the constitutional role of sheriffs, get to know your county’s sheriff and find out if he is willing to support the rights of local farms against state and federal agencies. If he is not, find someone to run against him who will.
  1. Call your congressman and senators to ask them to co-sponsor the PRIME Act. This bill would not fix everything, but it would remove many of the federal obstacles to pushing for agricultural reforms on a state and local level.
  1. Spread the word to everyone you know about what is happening to our food supply. If we all refuse to comply, the scheme is guaranteed to fail.

We are at a crossroads: if we fight now, we can build a future where local farm-to-table networks feed us, and where we choose for ourselves what we want to put in our bodies. If we ignore the plan set out by the global elites for control of our bodies through diet, injections, and injunctions, we do so at great peril. Your health and your family’s health are at stake. Please join the movement to protect both medical freedom and food freedom, as we fight to hold fast to these fundamental rights for future generations.

Prepper Basics: Get Healthy and as Active as Possible Immediately https://americanconservativemovement.com/prepper-basics-get-healthy-and-as-active-as-possible-immediately/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/prepper-basics-get-healthy-and-as-active-as-possible-immediately/#respond Mon, 29 Jan 2024 18:46:28 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200797 (Late Prepper)—So, you’ve got your bugout bags, food supplies, water, ammo, alternative power supplies, barter items, and Bibles. You downloaded and printed out important documents and how-to guides in case the internet goes down. You have your plan mapped out and you’ve done a test run with your family. You’re as ready as you can be for whatever happens in the near future, right?

Well, maybe. With over 70% of Americans either unfit or suffering from some sort of major medical ailment, chances are you haven’t made yourself and your family as ready as you can be in case crap hits the fan. Chances are you can start improving your health situation, whether that means getting more fit or securing long-term medical requirements such as meds and equipment.

Get Fit

The first challenge isn’t easy for most. For some, it’s a matter of motivation. For others, you’re just not able to make yourself more physically fit based on age, wounds, or conditions. I have a friend in her 70s who simply cannot get around very easily. She neither has nor needs bugout bags but she lives in a nice town, had plenty of food and water, and she carries her .22 wherever she goes.

Another friend is a prepping maniac. I’m actually jealous about how well-stocked he is in his suburban home. The challenge is he’s nearly 300 pounds and three of the four other members of his family aren’t skinny. I had a long conversation with him over the weekend about what he’ll do if things get really bad, even in his nice neighborhood. He said he’ll grab his shotgun and defend his property. That’s good, but it doesn’t replace the need to become fit enough to walk long distances, gather supplies, or hunt.

My status as a “late prepper” who didn’t get going until 2021 sent me down a similar path. I started stocking up on supplies incrementally. My wife started a robust garden. I started learning everything I could about survival and I haven’t stopped. Then, the wakeup call came last year. I was helping a friend move a couch and realized I’m not the stout running back that I was in school.

I’ve wasted far too much time before making it important to get fit. I am calling on all of my readers to not make the same mistake I did. When should you start improving your health? Right now. Today. Get started. Don’t stop. As I noted, motivation is often the missing ingredient when it comes to eating better, exercising, and changing one’s lifestyle. Well, look around. Things are already going crazy and we haven’t even gotten to Election Riot Season.

Are you able to walk 10 miles with a bugout bag on your back? Could you carry a loved one to safety? Chop down a tree? Build a shelter? Fight? If any of these things are physically impossible for you, then there’s nothing you can do other than build relationship with local people who can help. But if you can’t do any of these things and you have nothing holding you back other than your physical fitness, then it’s time to get motivated.

I’ve been on the keto diet for a while, but mostly for the sake of brain function. I like being as smart as possible and ketones help me to achieve that goal. But recently I’ve realized that I need to take advantage of the fat burning aspects of ketosis. That means exercising. It’s been slower than I’d like but I’ve lost 15 pounds since Thanksgiving with 40 more to go.

I’m not a fan of trying to “guilt” people into doing something, but this is an exception. Don’t be that person whose only excuse for not being physically ready to face apocalyptic challenges is that you’re to fat, too weak, or generally too unhealthy. If you have the means today to improve your health, do it.

And it’s not just fat people like me. Even those who are pretty fit can always use improvements. We’ve all heard many times about eating healthier but what does that really mean? The whole foods craze (not to be confused with the Amazon-owned grocer) is a righteous one on many levels. Sourcing your food, buying local, eliminated processed foods, reducing or eliminating sugars, and staying clear of seed oils are all good starts. Exercise is obviously important as well. I’m neither a nutritionist nor a personal trainer but as a conspiracy theorist I can say that whatever it takes to build back up your God-given body is worth doing now more than ever.

Secure Meds

Many medications, both minor and life-saving, can be stored for long periods of time. Others can go bad quickly. Now is the time to determine what you’ll need if pharmacies are either shut down or taken over by government, in which case you’ll need to “qualify” for your meds. That’s a discussion for another day.

Securing meds that you can store away such as antibiotics, pain medications, and chronic illness drugs requires a bit of “gaming the system.” Generally, doctors and pharmacists want you to have a limited supply. Sometimes this is due to positive reasons such as the need to adjust doses. Other times it’s simply an opportunity to add more doctor’s visits to their billing. So securing long-term stores of prescription medications can be challenging.

If you trust your doctor, tell them the truth. You’re concerned about things going crazy with the election or whatever and you’d feel more comfortable with a long-term supply of the meds you need. If they object, don’t push it. Just thank them and move along.

If your doctor won’t help you, there are a couple of options. You can research over-the-counter or nature alternatives to the medications you need. Or, you can go through a more “open minded” medical operation such as Jase. For transparency, they’re a sponsor, but it’s important to note that I made them a sponsor AFTER I started using them. I was a customer first before learning I could get referral bonuses for recommending them. They even gave me a promo code, “RUCKER10”, so my referrals could get $10 off.

Their system is simple. Sign up for a telehealth call. Talk to your doctor about the meds you need. They prescribe them and have them shipped to your door. The “Jase Case” of antibiotics is incredible (I have two) and the chronic medications they offer for challenges like diabetes and heart conditions are robust.

For those who require medicines that expire quickly, it’s time to research alternatives. Again, ask your doctor. Tell them your concerns and find out what they recommend if you no longer have access to the medications they prescribe. If that doesn’t work, check online. I know there are life-preserving meds that many people need to take that may not have natural or OTC alternatives, but research as best you can.

No Fear

I’m always cognizant of the fact that my prepper discussions can often concern people, even make them fearful. Don’t let it get to you. For Bible-believing Christians, we know that times will get challenging but there’s a literal light at the end of the tunnel. It’s a good thing to be physically ready for whatever is coming our way but that’s exponentially less important than being spiritually ready. If all you can do is believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then it’s more than enough.

Stay frosty and secure yourself and your family as best you can. If you fail because you did your best but it wasn’t enough, then so be it. But if you fail because you didn’t do your best to get ready, the end will be loaded with regrets.

They’re Now Telling Sick People They’re Not Sick https://americanconservativemovement.com/theyre-now-telling-sick-people-theyre-not-sick/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/theyre-now-telling-sick-people-theyre-not-sick/#respond Sat, 25 Nov 2023 06:42:08 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=198782 As we go into the fall shortage season we’re seeing major issues in dairy, pasta, and in potatoes. Whether you are a Prepper, a homesteader, or a concerned homemaker there are serious issues happening right now.

Genesis Gold Group | https://poplargold.com

Editor’s Commentary: We have said for the last few months that we anticipate shortages in medications. There are multiple fronts that are concerning, including supply chain issues, civil unrest, a war with China which produces over 90% of all pharmaceuticals sold in drug stores today, and government rationing that could come with another Plandemic.

This is particularly concerning for those who have prescription drugs that they need filled regularly. If you have a doctor that you trust, especially if they’re like-minded about such things, the best thing you can do is ask them to expand your prescriptions if possible. That doesn’t work with all meds since some have short expirations but with many if not most, you can stock up.

This is challenging for certain drugs which is why it’s important to be honest IF you trust your doctor. Let them know your concerns and tell them you want a rotating backup supply in case access to pharmacies becomes limited in the near future.

Again, I cannot stress enough that you must fully TRUST your doctor before making such a request. And I don’t just mean trusting your doctor’s skills. My doctor, for example, actually buys long-term storage food from my company so it was a no-brainer when I asked if he could expand on our prescriptions. But if you have a doctor who is questionable in mindset, you may end up getting a knock on your door if you make what they consider to be an unreasonable request. My California friend learned that the hard way recently.

If you cannot get the meds you need from your doctor, you can go through Jase Medical. They can help you through telehealth to secure a very wide range of meds, including antibiotics and chronic medications. They are a sponsor, but I still strongly recommend going through your own doctor if you trust them. As much as I appreciate what Jase does, I’m still a bigger fan of keeping as much of our lives localized as possible.

Steve Poplar, the gentleman in the video above, is a great resource for daily updates. He’s a bit different from most prepper YouTubers because a ton of his content comes through reports from his subscribers. I recommend following his channel.

Through all of the craziness happening in the world today, it’s important to remain in good spirits. We cannot go through life scared even if there are scary things out there. For Bible-believing Christians, we know how the story ends. Even in troubling times such as now, rejoice… but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared as well.

Sound off about this post on my Late Prepper Substack.

Drug and Food Shortages Are Here, and They Will Get a Lot Worse https://americanconservativemovement.com/drug-and-food-shortages-are-here-and-they-will-get-a-lot-worse/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/drug-and-food-shortages-are-here-and-they-will-get-a-lot-worse/#comments Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:40:27 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=193597 A lot of the experts didn’t think that this would happen.  Once the pandemic subsided, global supply chains were supposed to return to normal.  But now “hundreds of drugs” are in short supply in the United States, and even CNN is admitting that we are in the midst of “the worst food crisis in modern history”.

As I did research for this article, I was stunned by what I discovered.  Things are worse than I realized.

I knew that a lot of drugs were in short supply, but it turns out that there have been shortages of many of our most basic antibiotics since last October, and now Pfizer is telling us that several types of penicillin will completely run out later this year…

Pfizer will run out of several doses of penicillin, which treat syphilis, strep throat, and other infections, later this year as shortages ripple across the US supply chain.

The company anticipates running out of the children’s dose of the syphilis drug Bicillin L-A by the end of June, according to a letter Pfizer posted Tuesday on the Food and Drug Administration’s website. The company says it’s prioritizing production of larger doses of Bicillin L-A, which is recommended for pregnant people with syphilis because it is the only drug that can pass through the placenta and also treat the fetus.

A different Pfizer penicillin, Bicillin C-R that treats other bacterial infections but not syphilis, is expected to run out in the third quarter, which ends Sept. 30. Pfizer’s penicillin has been in shortage since April.

Of course there are growing shortages of many other commonly used drugs.

For example, one recent survey discovered that most cancer centers in the U.S. “are reporting shortages of commonly used chemotherapy drugs”

A recent survey found that a majority of cancer centers are reporting shortages of commonly used chemotherapy drugs used to treat a wide variety of cancers.

Much of the current shortage stems from the temporary closure of a drug manufacturing facility in India that happened after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found issues in the plant’s quality control.

After I first read that, I immediately had one burning question come to mind.

Why in the world are we having our chemotherapy drugs manufactured in India?

Once the war between the U.S. and China starts, it is going to be exceedingly difficult to get things shipped across the Pacific. So what are we going to do then?

Already, certain chemotherapy drugs are in such short supply that some doctors are being forced to ration care

Cancer drugs, including widely used cisplatin and carboplatin, are in such short supply that doctors are rationing care, asking patients to drive long distances for treatment, or turning to alternative treatments with riskier side effects.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. But it is happening.

In fact, the New York Times is telling us that there are shortages of “hundreds of drugs” in the United States right now…

Hundreds of drugs are on the list of medications in short supply in the United States, as officials grapple with an opaque and sometimes interrupted supply chain, quality and financial issues that are leading to manufacturing shutdowns.

The shortages are so acute that they are commanding the attention of the White House and Congress, which are examining the underlying causes of the faltering generic drug market, which accounts for about 90 percent of domestic prescriptions.

Meanwhile, global supplies of food just continue to get even tighter, and this is going to greatly affect consumers here in this country.

According to Zero Hedge, global cocoa supplies are becoming extremely tight and this could push chocolate prices to dizzying heights…

Cocoa prices have soared 44% over the last nine months to seven-year highs as the global cocoa bean deficit worsens for the second consecutive year.

“The cocoa market has experienced a remarkable surge in prices … This season marks the second consecutive deficit, with cocoa ending stocks expected to dwindle to unusually low levels,” S&P Global Commodity Insights’ Principal Research Analyst Sergey Chetvertakov told CNBC via email.

If you love chocolate, I would stock up now while you still can.

In addition, Zero Hedge is also reporting that there are very serious concerns about global supply levels of sugar and coffee…

With cocoa consumption at record highs in some Western countries, a worsening global bean deficit will only support higher prices.

Meanwhile, sugar prices hit decade highs on global shortage fears in April. And robusta coffee prices hit a record high days ago on supply fears.

There are just some grocery store aisles where inflation looks exceptionally sticky.

Most of us could live without chocolate, sugar and coffee. But what about the basics?

One food bank in southern Georgia is warning that they are facing a severe shortage of food and they are desperate for help…

“We’re just, we’re experiencing the biggest food shortage we have in the 40 years of food banking,” CEO of Feeding the Valley Food Bank Frank Sheppard said. “And it’s pandemic related. It’s really a number of causes our federal government and state governments provided a plentiful amount of food during the pandemic to help so many more people in need. And those supply lines are just a little slow to replenish. Then you have the whole supply chain issue. Things are just taking 3, 4, 5, 10 times as long to get to us as they used to and rapid inflation is affecting a lot of people, a lot of our donors as well. So it’s really just a perfect storm, unfortunately of circumstances that has got our inventories at record low levels.”

Hopefully some people will step up and help them out.

But the truth is that supplies of food are only going to get tighter and tighter in the months ahead.

In a previous article, I discussed the following facts…

  • The winter wheat harvest in Kansas this year is going to be the smallest since 1957.
  • U.S. corn prices are expected to soar because the Corn Belt is being hit by the worst drought in 30 years.
  • The size of the U.S. beef cow herd has fallen to the lowest level since 1962.
  • The orange harvest in Florida in 2023 will be approximately 56 percent smaller than it was in 2022.
  • Thanks to absolutely crazy weather patterns, approximately 90 percent of Georgia’s peach crop for this year has been wiped out.

On top of everything else, now millions of Mormon crickets have invaded Nevada, and they are eating everything in sight

According to the University of Nevada in Reno, Mormon crickets eat native, herbaceous perennials (forbs), grasses, shrubs, and cultivated forage crops, reducing feed for grazing wildlife and livestock. In large numbers, their feeding can contribute to soil erosion, poor water quality, nutrient-depleted soils, and potentially cause damage to range and cropland ecosystems.

Drought encourages Mormon cricket outbreaks, which may last several years (historically 5 to 21 years) and cause substantial economic losses to rangeland, cropland, and home gardens. This is particularly true as adults and nymphs of Mormon crickets migrate in a band, eating plants along their path.

And of course all of this is happening in the context of a horrific global food crisis.

According to one recent report, the number of people around the globe that are facing “acute food insecurity” increased by a whopping 34 percent last year…

The report concluded that the number of people facing acute food insecurity in 58 countries and territories in 2022 was 258 million, and this was the highest in the seven-year history of the report, signifying a deteriorating trend in global acute food insecurity. In 2021, 193 million people in 53 countries and territories faced acute hunger, so the figure for 2022 reflected a 34 percent jump within just one year.

A global famine has begun. And it will eventually get a whole lot worse.

If you have not been preparing for such a scenario, I would strongly encourage you to get started.

As I have detailed in this article, drug and food shortages are already here, and what we have been through so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

Michael’s new book entitled “End Times” is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter right here.

Winter Shortages Are Looking Even Worse Than We Thought https://americanconservativemovement.com/winter-shortages-are-looking-even-worse-than-we-thought/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/winter-shortages-are-looking-even-worse-than-we-thought/#respond Tue, 22 Nov 2022 03:38:42 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=185326 If there ever needed to be more evidence that the globalist elite cabal and their minions in the Biden-Harris regime were manufacturing shortages, we simply need to look at the various situations forming a perfect storm of crises. There is nothing natural about shortages hitting food, energy, medications, and pretty much everything else at the same time. And no, it’s not “Russia Russia Russia” that’s causing it all to happen.

The only thing we don’t have a shortage of is more authoritarian government. Our dystopian future is forming before our eyes as DC plunges us deeper into debt both as a nation as well as for individuals and families. It’s all leading us toward “necessary” centralization of monetary control through central bank digital currencies. They don’t want to force most Americans to accept the Digital Dollar. They want a majority to be begging for them.

The easiest people to control are those who ask to be controlled. Readers of my articles and listeners of my shows are generally adamantly opposed to being controlled, expanding government, or embracing the various public-private partnerships that are popping up in every industry. But we’re a dwindling minority. No, that’s not to say that a majority of Americans are budding Neo-Marxists. Our problem isn’t with ideology. Our problem is with passion. Even many who oppose such things as CBDCs will not fight by our side against them. They’ll begrudgingly accept them because everyone else is. The herd mentality, even among most individualists and patriots, is becoming all-too common.

It’s as if many if not most conservatives have given up. This is by design.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I dove into three articles that highlight various challenges that we’re suddenly facing. They’re not really “sudden,” of course; all of these things are part of long-standing plans that have been trickling out for years, even decades. The problem is we weren’t ready to fight them in their infancy and now that they’re becoming full-blown realities, most of us are struggling just to feed our families. This, too, is by design.

The final article I covered, which is posted below, highlights the hope that Brandon Smith at Alt-Market has for a potential happy ending. I don’t completely agree with his assessments, but I support many of the notions he posted. Perhaps I’m too cynical, but I don’t see a political solution to any of this. The midterms were the last chance to slow the bleeding. With the red tsunami thwarted through massive, widespread voter fraud, it’s time to find our solutions in We the People and, of course, our only true savior in Jesus Christ. Here is today’s show followed by Brandon’s article…

Is the American Pendulum Swinging Back to Reason? Maybe, but It Will Be a Long Fight

It should be considered an embarrassment for the states and districts involved, but the 2022 midterm elections are still being counted as I write this. In some cases, ballot drop boxes, mail-in ballots and “malfunctioning” voting machines have created a suspicious fog of uncertainty, and the uncertainty always seems to work in the favor of the political left.

Needless to say, some kind of change needs to happen – The majority of Americans are aware that ongoing trends of national deconstruction cannot be allowed to continue. Even the people that refrain from voting are watching the elections, just to see if the momentum of the country has shifted even a little. And, many people who tend to refrain are on the independent/libertarian side of things.

Times change and circumstances evolve, even if some people are too bitter or jaded to see it. The old guard Neocons trained in the Chicago school by Leo Strauss along with the acolytes of Irving Kristol are losing favor among conservative voters and many are dying out. The era of Bush family politics is going extinct; they were never conservative anyway.

What is left behind is a kind of philosophical stew – A mixture of libertarians, independents, Republicans and patriots that don’t necessarily affiliate with every aspect of the GOP but they will vote for a candidate with a strong stance against the woke propaganda and globalism of the political left. That’s what they are looking for.

For example, Ron DeSantis and his epic win in Florida shows us that the GOP is now being forced to address real conservative issues and concerns, whether they like it or not. Because if they want to win big like DeSantis they will have to start promoting the same policies and arguments as DeSantis. Republican candidates that don’t will not succeed, at least nowhere near the same level.

Many people assume that Trump was the impetus for this new wave of conservatives which has abandoned the Neocon coup. But in reality, the wave started at least a decade ago and we are only now beginning to see the results. Trump rode the wave, he didn’t create it.

Despite the claims of the mainstream media, there was indeed a red wave this year, but at the state level and in terms more subtle.

I consider keeping my own state red a matter of urgency. Montana conservatives recently witnessed what happens when we get lazy about voting leftists out of power. Our governor at the beginning of the covid event was Steve Bullock, a Democrat posing as a “middle of the road” pro-gun, pro-freedom guy. But when the federal government’s calls for mandates hit, Bullock followed right along with all other blue state politicians in trying to enforce unconstitutional restrictions and was incredibly malicious towards groups questioning such policies.

In 2020, we booted him out of office and most Democrats along with him. We learned our lesson – Keep the state red because in the event of crisis these people will exploit the situation to steal power and assert dominance.

I’ve had a lot of folks tell me over the years that voting is irrelevant and that conservative leaders at the state and county level would fold and submit to the whims of the feds when the time came for our liberties to be stripped away. These people were wrong.

The time did come; the pandemic was the perfect opportunity for establishment authoritarians to take all that was left of our freedoms forever. They certainly tried with all the tools available to them, including the controlled corporate media, big tech social media platforms, federal bureaucracy, etc. We passed within a short breath of full-spectrum tyranny.

The covid cult failed and they failed because red states across the country refused to comply, from the voters to the politicians. Conservative state leaders did not “fold” as many predicted, which means there is a chance to fight back on a level beyond defending our front porches with guns in hand.

At the very least, the actions of red states have bought us more time, and that is a precious commodity in an era of quickly escalating crisis. The situation is not quite as dire as I believed many years ago, and not as definitive as many liberty activists believe now. The end is not nigh. Our efforts are having an effect.

Am I putting blind faith in the elections? No. But there is valuable information to be derived from the elections and some of it tells a story of a country battling back from the brink of progressive insanity. Here are just a few factors to consider after the midterms:

Conservatives Were Out In Force

While the media constantly mentions a higher turnout for young voters this season, the real news is that conservatives had at least 3.5 million more voters overall than Democrats. Since the leftists are so fond of majority rule, it is interesting to point out the separation in active voters.

It is also odd that Democrats continue to declare “victory” in 2022 given they lost control of the House of Representatives. How can they declare a win when they came out the other side of the election with less than they had before?

Florida Sweep

Ron DeSantis crushed leftists in Florida based on a very vocal anti-woke, anti-establishment platform. He proved that this is what Americans want. Not middle of the road, not riding the fence or trying to be diplomatic, but remaining steadfast and uncompromising in the face of irrational zealotry and underhanded agendas.

Some people in the liberty movement have their complaints about DeSantis, but what I’m looking at is results and he has done more to stop the woke agenda in his state than any other state government in the country. He also stood firm against covid authoritarianism. Results are what matter most.

The “Blue Invasion” Threat Was A Lie

All the wailing and screaming I heard over the past two years about leftists relocating into red states during covid and changing the demographics was complete nonsense. I’ve been saying since the pandemic began – Leftists don’t move away from their hive and they aren’t taking over red states, at least not in the past few years. The latest midterms prove that the fear of “blue invasion” was pure paranoia. If anything, in Montana we saw far more conservatives escaping blue states to live somewhere they felt was safe.

After this election I don’t want to hear another half-baked theory about the Dems turning Texas or Florida or other strong red states to the dark side.

The Abortion “Blue Wave” Never Happened

Remember after the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade the number of media outlets proclaiming that conservatives would be destroyed during the elections? Apparently, average Americans are not as concerned with the “right” to kill babies as they had assumed. States that have moved to ban abortion are not facing a blue wave and these laws will most likely remain in place.

This fact upends a long running narrative in the mainstream than any attempt to stop abortion is doomed to failure and that any political candidate that supports banning abortion would be soundly defeated. The narrative was merely a scare tactic to create a false consensus.

Ballot Harvesting And Mail-In Options Always Favor Democrats

One could debate the reasons why, but the Democrat tactic of relying on non-traditional voting methods always works in their favor. There is also the issue of potential voter fraud when it comes to mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting, as we are currently seeing investigated by the Attorney General of Arizona. The only way to be sure that such sabotage does not occur is to do what Florida did and require most voters to appear at polls in person.

In battleground states where this is not an option, it would seem that conservatives are going to have to learn the ballot harvesting game that Democrats play and use the tactic against them.

Americans Place The Economy Above All Other Concerns

Regardless of how the elections pan out, public polling before the midterms consistently revealed that the majority of Americans are worried about inflation and economic decline above all else, and the social issues that leftists typically run on are at the bottom of the list.

This means that the longer the economic crisis goes on the more Dems in power will be questioned about their solutions. It is perhaps ironic that leftists are so keen to hold onto government control when they are only going to continue to take the bulk of the blame for the continuing economic fallout.

They have no plan, and they don’t intend to do anything about it except spend more money they don’t have, which is what caused the crisis in the first place. At least conservative candidates are acknowledging the threat; leftists still refuse to admit the threat exists.

I believe the economic danger will continue to grow, and there is little that can be done about it with Democrats still clinging to the Senate and with Biden in the White House. Which means the work will fall to individual states to protect themselves from the shock. I suspect that in the end red states will survive while blue states implode.

Is our cultural pendulum swinging back to reason? Yes, I see signs of it everywhere, but the fight ahead is going to be long and arduous. It’s not just the globalists that we have to contend with, it’s the woke activists and useful idiots within our population that need to be diminished. It took decades for us to get to the terrible spot we are in as a society and it will most likely take decades to get us out of it. That said, there is hope. Over time this fight can be won and there are many millions of us at the ready.  If we can’t stop the current crash, we can at least determine who will rebuild.

How to Beat the Amoxicillin Shortage Before it Becomes a Crisis https://americanconservativemovement.com/how-to-beat-the-amoxicillin-shortage-before-it-becomes-a-crisis/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/how-to-beat-the-amoxicillin-shortage-before-it-becomes-a-crisis/#respond Mon, 21 Nov 2022 19:42:06 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=185315 America is on the path toward a massive Amoxicillin shortage. Anyone who has tried to get it recently either lucked out on the first try or had to search again and again for a pharmacy that could fulfill the prescription. We are on the verge of a full-blown antibiotic crisis and the Biden-Harris regime has it on the backburner. It’s not that they don’t want to fix it. It’s that the United States is so beholden to China for pharmaceuticals that the regime doesn’t have an easy fix.

Around 90% of the ingredients used to make drugs like Amoxicillin come from China. This is an ugly situation to be in with a supply chain crisis and tensions rising. Winter is coming. This isn’t the time to be short on drugs that can prevent a simple infection from becoming life-threatening. (I talk more about this in the video below)

This is why we started working with a company that ships Amoxicillin and four other antibiotics to telehealth patients. Those who have read my work or heard my shows for the past year or so know that proper preparedness has been one of my biggest pushes and being prepared medically is on the top of the list. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” in a bunker to make common sense choices as negative situations continue to rise in America.

Of all the problems we face as a nation and as a people, this is the one that has the fewest options available for both our government and for individuals. We can debate the insanity of becoming dependent on China some other time. Today, we need to focus on solving the problem, and for individuals that means stocking up on antibiotics that can be stored long-term (use promo code “RUCKER10” for $10 off).

Medical professionals have been ringing the alarm bell of late, but the warnings are getting drowned out by a partnership between government, corporate media, and Big Pharma to focus solely on getting as many people to take the Covid jabs as many times as possible. There’s money, power, and access on the line for those who are supposed to be revealing the medical truth and unfortunately for us the Covid jabs are the only priority. According to Prevention:

There’s no clear answer. The ASHP lists out several pharmaceutical companies that have reported amoxicillin shortages and noted that they didn’t provide a reason for the lack of supply.

But amoxicillin has “become restricted in the supply chain due to increased use,” says Stephanie Field, M.B.A., director of pharmacy business services at Corewell Health West. Meaning, demand for the drug has ramped up as a slew of illnesses circulate.

It’s also possible that supply chain issues that have plagued nearly every industry since the pandemic began are at play here, too, says Crystal Tubbs, Pharm.D., associate director of pharmacy services at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Shortages in general can be caused by supply/demand issues, shortages of raw materials or other ingredients needed to manufacture the drug, logistics interruptions and/or challenges with manufacturing facilities,” she explains.

According to Red State:

Translation: Big Pharma is too busy counting their billions from the utterly ineffective COVID vaccines they are still pushing to care about mundane drugs that actually work. The problem has become critical, as the Daily Mail notes.

The Children’s Hospital Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics joined forces to urge the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to declare a Public Health Emergency in order to assist strapped hospitals.

Declaring a state of emergency would allow Secretary Becerra to distribute financial assistance to states, work with companies to produce more treatments and supplies, loosen licencing requirements that will help alleviate healthcare staffing shortages, and expand hospital capacity.

Maybe if it was an issue among illegal immigrants they might care. But I digress.

A sick child’s parents have no patience for muddled supply chain blaming, even as earlier this year, hungry babies’ parents were in no mood for sanctimonious breastfeeding lectures in lieu of fixing the baby formula shortage. Considering the Biden Administration’s utter ineptitude in solving the baby formula crisis, perhaps we shouldn’t ask them to look at the amoxicillin problem.

We chose long ago to only work with sponsors who offered real solutions to our readers. This is why we’re not promoting inconsequential sponsored products like “Lordships” or coffee mugs. Those can be extremely profitable, but we make sure all of our sponsors are making a difference for Americans, either with their products like storable antibiotics or their companies like Mike Lindell.

It’s getting crazier and crazier out there. The midterm elections didn’t offer much relief. With the Chinese Communist Party bent on opposing America as well as taking control of Taiwan, it’s very likely we will see a full-blown Amoxicillin crisis someday soon. Now is not the time to rely on the Biden-Harris regime or Kevin McCarthy to fix things. In fact, there’s NEVER a time to rely on government to do for us what we should be doing for ourselves.
