Foreign globalist is upset that you’ve got ‘untraceable cash’ in your pocket…

Another case in point: Mr. Agustin Carstens. Who is he? He’s a Mexican economist who’s been the General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) since 2017. Before that, he served as governor of the Bank of Mexico. In short, he’s a deeply embedded globalist insider, and he really doesn’t want to live in a cash society.

Why? Well, because, as Mr. Carstens puts it, he wants to know what you’re spending and purchasing, and he can’t do that if you’re using cash.

Region 2 / Re: New to Region 2

« Last post by RWS on May 17, 2025, 11:43:11 AM »

I ha d a lady come over to my place (Job Site) to borrow some money from her father (the contractor).  She said a mountain lion attacked her dog and almost killed it before the other two dogs heard the ruckus and came at full charge.  I said a bob cat and she said no, it was a mountain lion.  She lives over the mountain from me.  The vet bill needed to be paid & she was borrowing money.
Last year a lady that lives just over the ridge from me said a mountain lion killed all her chickens.  I asked Google and was told there are no mountain lions in Georgia.  Talk about remote locations for a BOL !  A very challenging place to live.......

My contractor called the other day with a couple questions.  Since I was caught up in the garden and it had just rained for 2 days, I told him I would make a quick trip up.  I was there all week.  I have 7 peaches each on 2 of my peach trees and aphids eating the new growth on a third tree.  I sprayed to protect the trees and fruit.  While I was at a gas station a truck was fueling with the company name on the door.  I asked the guy if he did service work and he did.  He said he and his brother did some work at my place 2 weeks ago.  He said the 2 horses pastured in the field next to me were his.  I told him I had built a wagon that could be horse drawn.  He said his mare would pull a wagon.  When I take my wagon up, we are going to get together.
I am also getting my terrace cut into the hill behind the barn.  I plan to install a second solar panel ground rack there.

President Trump said that Disaster Relief should be the responsibility of the State.  The response will be much quicker and less cumbersome than the bloated FEMA response.
President Trump has been clear about his disdain for FEMA’s bloated operations, particularly after its lackluster response to Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina last year.

“I’ll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA,” Trump told the reporters during the press conference in January, vowing to transfer disaster response responsibilities to state governments.

“Frankly, FEMA is not good. I think when you have a problem like this, you want to go. Whether it’s a Democrat or Republican governor, you want to use your state to fix it and not waste time calling FEMA,” Trump added.

Former Housing Official: U.S. Government Has Built a $21 TRILLION Underground City for the Wealthy and Powerful to Live If a “Near-Extinction Event” Occurs (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/former-housing-official-u-s-government-has-built/

Yes,  Most people don't know but the US Govt has several underground BOLs.  They have been built by FEMA for the continuation of government in the event of a neuclear attack on the Continental US.  Most people think FEMA gets their money to help with natural disasters; however, the primary mission for FEMA is continuation of government.  Disaster relief is secondary.

Georgia / Re: 2025 Spring Campout - 2-4 May

« Last post by Searchboss on May 05, 2025, 11:35:07 AM »

We had a great time at the 2025 Spring Campout. This was the smallest turnout I have seen over the past eight years, but the experience and the people who came made it worthwhile. To break it down, we only had four campers this year with six day trippers on Saturday which was great.

We had some scheduled presentations this time which turned out to be quite fun and educational.

•   RWS made a presentation on basic solar setups and talked about the costs vs the benefits of using solar in different scenarios. He also covered the use of batteries in a solar setup. I always enjoy his solar presentations and several people said they learned something new.

•   RWS also showed everyone how to infuse an oak log with mushroom spore to grow another edible.

•   Farside went through his “traps bag” showing us various methods of survival trapping. He discussed and then demonstrated how to use different types of small traps, some were commercial purchases but most are easily made with commonly available materials. His discussion of calories used vs calories gained when foraging for food in a survival situation was very instructive. RWS also brought some larger traps which Farside used to show how they work and talked about how they are used. Farside, who is an avid fisherman, also discussed survival fishing and demonstrated his mechanical Yo Yo Fishing Reels.

•   VoodooMD talked to folks about the local prepper meetings that he conducts monthly in the Macon/Warner Robins area. There is definitely an interest in prepping in the Middle Georgia area!

At lunch time my wife and I made our version of a one-pot meal that we picked up from a fellow prepper last month that he called “cowboy beans”. It is made with baked beans, ground beef and a variety of other easy and quick ingredients which is quite tasty. It seemed like a big hit with some folks eating more than one bowl.

After several hours of presentations and discussions, a weather front moved through the area in the afternoon. This cut the presentations short. When people heard thunder in the distance many of the day trippers decided to leave to beat the rain that was forecast. This was disappointing but understandable. It was disappointing because nj_m715 was about to demonstrate the use of a drone for security and recreation, but the weather threat precluded this. Hopefully, he will be willing to bring it back and demonstrate it at the Fall Campout.

As it turned out, we only got a few drops of rain all afternoon. Another front came through just before midnight with a LOT of thunder and lightning, but little wind, fortunately. It rained for about 3 hours but quit around 0200. Sunday morning was clear and sunny which made it easy to break camp and head home.

We all appreciated the Port a Pottie that Farside arranged. I want to thank everyone who came. It is always great to get together with old friends and new. The camaraderie of the campouts really is the best part of these gatherings.

The wife says that if it is not raining, she will come with me.  I have a group breakfast Saturday morning and it is 2 hrs away so it will be at least 11AM before I can get there.  I will then give a basic solar class followed by a demonstration of inoculating an oak log for Shitake mushroom production.
You know the only reason the wife is coming is because she does not let this old man go off by himself anymore!

 Hello all and hoping that you all are doing well and still have your "GAME ON" as far as your "preps" go for you and your families! Still quite a  LOTS of "happenings" going on and multiple situations still appear to be rapidly changing and evolving as of this writing---- so best to keep your head always on a swivel--- and PLEASE STAY VIGILANT!
 
I unfortunately was not able to attend and participate in the April 24th meeting due to recovering from right sholder surgery earlier that week--but by all accounts,  of those who were in attendance --both from members of Region 6 and the reports from the staff at USS---It was a ABSOLUTE BLOW-OUT!!

This meeting was conducted by two current members who really did one OUTSTANDING job in presenting the topic of: MOLLE Gear and YOU - Variety and Choices Available / Maintenance and Care / Proper Set-up of Your Kits / Rigs .     GREAT JOB GUYS!!

 As that I,  along with my wife --- and a couple of  other regular monthly meeting attendees were not present for this one,  I was informed that we had at least 6 new folks stop in to check us out! --And it appears that our advertising flyers in place at the USS check out counter are are "doing their thing"!

  And as luck would  have it -- the "new folks" and regular attendees  also  got the opportunity to "meet and mingle" an become better aquainted  at our quarterly "pot luck" luncheon  there as well!

  GREAT FOOD by the way!!--MANY THANKS go out to all the chefs!! --and THANKS to the ''meals on wheels" crew that brought my wife and I some plates after the meeting!

We greatly missed you all and sure hated to not being to attend and participate in this meeting--but rest assured --we definantly will be "ready to roll" for the May meeting!

 As I have mentioned in many past posts here concerning the Georgia Region 6 monthly meetings, we are so VERY BLESSED to have such GREAT active members and participants. All of our members are an “exceptional wealth of knowledge” and are “true experts” on a very wide variety of preparedness topics – BAR NONE! It's YOU, Region 6 members, that make our monthly meetings what they are! THANK-YOU!

 We all have been TRULY BLESSED to have such a WONDERFUL place here at Uncle Sam’s Surplus to hold our monthly meetings! The staff at USS have always provided EXCELLENT SUPPORT for our SEPN Georgia Region 6 meetings. They have gone “above and beyond the call of duty” to assist us in any way concerning our meeting needs with any equipment or class presentation items in their stock for our use! They are without a doubt #1 in customer service!

 A BIG THANK-YOU goes out to Alex, Shelby, Nick, Clint, and the rest of the USS crew for your continued support of us and our monthly meetings. YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!

 Be sure to continue to watch here in Region 6 concerning all of our future happenings! Please consider joining us for our April 26th meeting! We’ve got plenty of chairs, coffee, and GREAT FELLOWSHIP for all!

Take Care, Stay Safe, God Bless, and KEEP ON PREPPING!

Rhett / Voodoo MD

Forum Discussion / Lessons from the Civil Rights Movement: Shaping Equality Today

« Last post by JacobJames on May 01, 2025, 09:11:54 AM »

The Civil Rights Movement was a pivotal period in U.S. history, where individuals and groups fought tirelessly for equal rights and an end to racial discrimination. Led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, this movement sparked significant social, legal, and political changes. How do you think the movement shaped modern society, and what lessons can we still apply today in the ongoing fight for equality? Dive deeper into the history and impact of the movement.
