If you like Greg’s very politically incorrect rants, he has a YouTube channel, and if you scroll down on his website, there are links to his podcasts. Keep in mind, he is a right-wing true believer, who, like he says, likes Trump, so some of what he says I take with a grain of salt. But he knows his stuff, and he builds good knives. However, if the proverbial pile of dog doo gets slung into the proverbial electric fan, I wouldn’t mind Greg Medford sharing my foxhole…as long as he brings a knife or two.😉

This was awesome! I NEED to meet more people like this.

Great video! I’m not looking for Galt’s Gulch, I’m seeking the city whose builder and maker is God. In the meantime, working hard on growing food, helping and encouraging others and finding ways to bypass every evil work.

I had a cabinet refinishing business ready to franchise back before the 2008 crash. Had to take time off that to be available to my children in their teenage years after a very abusive ugly divorce. My ex destroyed my business network and personal reputation, so I had to move.

Got things ready to start in Canada, incorporation, etc in 2019 and covid shut the border and made that market hostile if we were coming out of the US unjabbed.

I had a big ‘time out’ when I was blind for a year and mostly blind for 3 before that in 2014. The first correction I had to make was understanding that God doesn’t reward us for economic success. He looks at do we seek Him, do we love Him, do we have generosity with what we have, big or small. Do we wake up and try to do what pleases Him each day in our business and home? He loves hard work and smart work and if we can gather more and distribute more, that’s great.

Jesus watched what people gave and why they gave it. The widow who gave a few cents was honored, the young man who came to Him and declined to give all he had to the poor and become one of the close to Jesus Apostles.

During the shut down, my shiny new husband of 10 years got the best paying job in town and we were able to stock up on things and be much more independent of what is going on. He got fired and this has been a tougher year, but we’re working on moving up not down. More ministry focus, but I have to receive offerings, which I never have. My training is to be very careful about that because when people get or want big miracles, God doesn’t want it to feel like it’s for sale. It’s a free gift.

Despite that, it isn’t right to not get paid for working hard spiritually to stay ready to help people anytime, anywhere, which I do.
5 out of my 6 kids are making good money doing the cabinets and I may do that again, but with the nasty way people use social media to complain unjustly and the border here being a non starter if they shut down again, probably not.

You could get very discouraged watching this video. I don’t expect the overall global economy or the US economy to get better, until they set up new whirled odor it will get worse for most.
I have been young, and now I am old, I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread.

One time my daughter and I went to the only grocery in town and bought very carefully about $25 worth of food. On the way home I started talking about which of the kid’s friends from tough homes we could invite. She said, ‘you know it doesn’t make sense to share more when we’re short, but you always do.’ I told her that was right and that is why we never run out.

I even have things last well beyond reasonable… like empty toothpaste tubes delivering pea sized blobs two to three times a day for weeks after they are squeezed down to nothing. We just say ‘thank you Father’ and squeeze. I got my husband doing it too.
I’ll share the trophy tubes. We hang them up and laugh. If you do that, at some point you will feel like it’s time to actually buy some. It’s just for practice and fun.

Made a pot of soup for a local church that is about 20 people and some kids. When I took it into their kitchen and started stirring it up in my big 4 gallon pot and had 3 in it. I had the sensation miracle power was working and just laughed and laughed. We go to another church, but the pastor’s wife was getting tired and discouraged, so that was to stir things up and give her a break.

We went back before our park meeting in the afternoon and there were still 2 gallons in the pot. She had a note that said ‘we tried, but I know what happened there’. Everyone had two or three bowls and one guy took a quart home. At the park meeting, three of us ate a few bowls and it started going down. Three more people stopped by and they took a party cup. I gave a half gallon to someone on the way home and we still had about a gallon. It was my pasta fagioule soup and dee hee licious. Everyone always wants seconds and thirds.

It is not a good time in the world to live in fear and have no faith. You may be able to distract yourself some or drug yourself to not care, but those are just coverings.
It is a good time to live in courage, thankfulness, love and faith. God will help you. He made you and He loves you. Psalm 23 and the Lord’s prayer can get you pretty far down the road.

Love these miracle stories!

[Steve Ahle]

Thanks Dana ,that was great as I just finished reading el chapo’s post about operation blue beam! China is the model for the one world fucking satanic order, where the evil elites turn the world into a modern day caste system and they are trying to eliminate God and Christ, other words revelations.

[Dana Acker]

We cannot give up hope; remember Ezekiel and Daniel were written in Babylon during the lowest point in Israel’s history before 70 AD. God will look after His faithful, despite the bad news.

[kathryn.cascadiankate]

That’s right. Every time.

[Dana Acker]

One thing Greg said was “Look beyond your wallet (or pocket).” Quality domestic made goods cost more. We’ve been so Wal-Mart-ized, that most of our lives revolve around cheap prices and quickly obsolete and easily replaceable goods. Of course, as we became used to that, all of our industry, which supplied most of our jobs, which built and sustained our economy and lifestyle went away. Like Esau of old, we traded our birthright for a bowl of porridge, and how is that working out for us? The “war” of which Greg speaks, is taking us, as a nation, down. Like Nikita Khrushchev said, “We [Communism] will defeat you [the USA] without firing a shot.” Kathryn is right, giving and sharing, even if it is out of our need, is something we need to practice, personally and corporately. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood….” But, we should think when we buy things, just whose country are we helping when we so do?

[Dana Acker]

And not to get moralistic, but another point from Greg’s video, is do we really need more stuff in our lives just because we can afford to buy it? Is not wanton acquisition, just because it’s affordable, another facet of greed? And, I’m not pointing fingers, I’m guilty too. Maybe it’s time to devote more thought to what we really need, rather than what we want and simply can afford….

Thanks Dana for sharing that video I’m as guilty as anyone for want as of need that’s perfectly happy in my little double wide when we first came to North Carolina but I needed a site built house and of course we spent 20 years redoing that one then just wanted to come up and be closer to my children and grandchildren and felt truly blessed to have this big old house only now it’s really empty. Spent most of today rearranging the things we already had maybe when this rain stops we’ll go back out and start hunting .used furniture and stuff. I think North Carolina speaks volumes to what Greg was saying look at any town there’s the Old Mill that no longer runs and all the mill homes .I hope you are doing well today .

Great post!

Great post—Prosperous New Year! New Christmas tradition has become cleaning the bores. Still brushing the oldies. Video mentions war that we know is a series of battles. We are being attacked from within. It’s something I spoke to a stranger from New Hampshire outside an establishment about last night. We agreed it’s not the same America. He opined it’s over. I reminded him to take action. It’s something I’ve done for decades usually as a solo… so called “activist”. This is the year of the blow back that has accelerated. We can still put scabbards in those fast moving spokes. The battles are very many. I’ve planned to dissuade my County from Sewage Surveying this year, because that’s the new Global Testing mechanism for the next epi/planned demic. Dang this rant reminds me to ready my tax assessment battle.. eh gades. Keep your powder dry.

In a previous post I mentioned the “Wal-Mart-ization” of the country. The Chinese Communists aren’t the only usurpers of our economy with blood on their hands. Truth be told, if most Americans knew what Wal-Mart had done to this country, they would tar and feather Sam Walton’s heirs and burn Bentonville, Arkansas to the ground. For over 10 years I worked for a textile and apparel mill in my hometown in NC that manufactured infant’s and children’s wear. It was a $50,000,000.00 a year company, and for a time, the largest employer in our town. Mainly we supplied thousands of mom n’ pop clothing stores all over the USA. One day Wal-Mart approached us and made the owners of the company an offer they couldn’t refuse. They offered to supply the overwhelming majority of our sales. Essentially Wal-Mart would purchase everything we made. This was a huge business deal. And, Wal-Mart made good on their offer. And, Wal-Mart sold the goods they purchased from us for less than the wholesale price for which we had been selling the same garments to the mom n’ pop clothing stores. The mom n’ pop clothing stores eventually went out of business. Our bread and butter customers for over 50 years shut their doors forever. Once the competition was out of the way, Wal-Mart came back in and told us that they were going to only pay us pennies on the dollar for our goods; do it or they would pull all their business. When we explained we could not afford to do that, they gave us the business card of a man representing a company that facilitated opening US factories in Honduras, where people worked for less than 1/20th of a US worker’s pay. We weren’t the only company either; Wal-Mart went after them all. And every company either acquiesced, laid off their US workforce, and moved operations off shore, or they shut their doors. Wal-Mart was responsible for putting millions of working Americans out of a job, and then offering impoverished and unemployed Americans cheap goods at cheap prices, with nowhere else affordable to shop. And when those greedy Hondurans wanted a raise from $0.50 an hour to $0.75 an hour, the factory owners were forced to close their factories and move them to China. Think about that when you shop at Wal-Mart. Greg said that such predatory practices were illegal; well, apparently not, if you’re Wal-Mart or China…. Mike’s talk about the haves and have nots, and good and evil isn’t rhetoric.

I did not know about that. Thanks for sharing, Dana.

[kathryn.cascadiankate]

That is only one prong of the rasp they used to gut American small businesses and local communities. I haven’t hit one for ten plus years and before that only purchased what I absolutely couldn’t get anywhere else or loss leaders. I lived in Tulsa OK area while they metastasized into the Mid-West and saw them build up and strip down several product creators too. Same recipe you shared, but they would have sales tables with live reps to offer their own Sam’s brand of the product on a display blocking the original product we used and liked a lot.
Around the same time we had Bill Bartmann with CFS in Tulsa who mistreated people and did shady stuff. I had the pleasure of blocking him from joining a business network I was in, while he was right there in the room and clearly saying why.

[Dana Acker]

“…metastasized into the Mid-West….” Couldn’t have said it more perfectly.👍
