Guy's right about the enemy though.  They have no idea, think the stores always gonna have food.  Even as businesses are closing in the blue cesspools, among them grocery stores and general-purpose department stores like Wal-Mart.  We talk about it all the time, with disaster looming and not knowing what form it'll take.  One feller says, and I do too, some days, give us ten years of it not blowin' up and maybe we might just make it.  Migration to the free states is not slowing and seems to be increasing.  Hard to say, only one more census cycle in those ten years, so the next one will have to be good for us to have any chance at all.  Even then it's hard to say what the regime will do if there isn't a turnover next year.  Try to tax the free states enough to feed the parasites in the blue states, could be trouble whatever happens.  Be nice for us if something else happened first, major infrastructure failure - they're working on that - could cut off the cities even if there is plenty of food, if there's no way to get it to them.

Okey-dokey, there 'tis.  Look at it tomorrow.  This ain't the Last Days of May, that's later.  This just the second.  Wind ortta be dyin' down some, dry up.  May get off with light grass cuttin' this year.

OK, that should be good to start with.  What we want to do is see the size of the population inside the cesspools that is entirely dependent on the state for everything - food, housing, medical care - and if the supply lines break down they're sitting there, helpless.  In the cities there is at best a few days of food, in homes and in stores.  What will the denizens who are unable to leave do?  The most likely result is riots.  If other supplies and services - energy, medicine - are also curtailed the situation will be even worse. 

I'll go back and fill in the numbers to show how big those riots could be.  It will depend to some degree on the state where the parasite population is located - there are some big ones in Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Oklahoma and other red states.  It is possible that law enforcement can mitigate the violence, and those states are more prepared to offer relief to the parasites, however odious it might be.  The communist states have already crippled their law enforcement agencies and their internal infrastructure is compromised as well.  Since the three largest are in such states, let's take a look. 

NYC, Los Angeles and Chicago have almost 2.8 million.  All have demonstrated that they are incapable of maintaining some semblance of sanity now, what will happen when hordes of parasites break out of their zones to forage in other parts of the city?  Detroit could be big ugly - almost a half million in a city of just over a half million, over 75%.  That would be ugly for sure.  I'll sort them out and see if I can get some idea of how this might play out. 



Fri 05 May 2023 09:40:20 PM CDT
The last column is the probability status.  I'll fill those in later.  What I'm doing is trying to figure how likely the parasite population is to explode and how likely containment is feasible.  As an example, I just added Fort Worth.  I know it's part of a bigger population center, and we'll take a look at Dallas in a minute.  Now Fort Worth has a relatively small parasite population compared to the other two - just about 20%.  175,000 isn't exactly small, but in a population of nearly a million Fort Worth is way better off than the blue state cesspools.  So containment, should an eruption occur, might be managed as Texas has good law enforcement resources and the governor would act quickly and decisively.  Texas is also less likely to be in that situation, with better infrastructure the causes - food shortages being the primary factor - would not be as severe.  Of the other major cities - Austin, El Paso, San Antonio, El Paso, and Houston - only Houston has a serious problem.  With over a half million leeches it could be a problem, but with sufficient state resources available and not needed elsewhere this one problem area could be managed. So it gets a red dot. 

Here are the Texas cities rates of infestation:

            %
Houston     2,288,250     553,099     22
San Antonio     1,451,853     93,250     7
Dallas     1,288,457     296,345     23
Austin     964,177     67,329     7
Fort Worth     935,508     174,593     19
El Paso     678,415     20,364     3


All of those cities have very larg Hispanic populations, but those are less likely to cause problems.  Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth have very large dependent populations both as a percentage and weight of numbers.  Under 100,000 should not be much of a danger.  The over 100K cities could be trouble spots if supplies fail, and Houston is obviously the worst both because of the numbers and of the origin of many of them.  The government should focus on that while not ignoring the other two.  In any case Texas law enforcement and National Guard can probably contain it.  Some National Guard may be pulled due to the situation in the blue states, but that might be sticky.  Governors can send their personnel to assist other states, but I don't know if the President can order it, and what would happen if personnel from Texas or Arksas were "ordered" by a president to maintain order in Illinois or California, for example. 

As for the Hispanic population in Texas, most would not find themselves in the situation of the parasites, and would be more the same boat as whites - trying to survive and avoid being victims of the hordes. 

The governor of Texas might want to bolster the State Guard (considerably from the looks of it) and the Rangers, and the entire state police force with reserves that can be activated quickly.  There would probably be no shortage of volunteers.

How about blue states? Take two or three, let's say three, of the worst.

New York         New York         8,467,513         1,693,502         20
Los Angeles         California         3,849,297         319,491         8
Chicago         Illinois         2,696,555         755,035         28


Los Angeles would have the lesser problem, due to the small population of parasites and the >80% white/asian/hispanic factor is important. Asians are less likely to suffer fools gladly, as they demonstrated during the Rodney King riots and other similar outbursts, and in defending their businesses and persons against the simian predators.  The juxtaposition of Asians in the U.S. and the parasite class could hardly be more stark. Asians of all types have arrived in the country under adverse circumstances worked assiduously to succeed and built lives for themselves and their communities.  The same is true of the various 'white' ethnic groups (Irish, Polish, etc.) who suffered discrimination and resistance from the established population. And as for Hispanics, they have done almost as well, in a population that not exceedes the black population. Yet the black population remains largely (90% or better according some of 'their own') both dependent and worthless as anything other than a source of votes and mob violence. In effect the parasite population has been cultured like like bacteria or viruses, and has had the same effect on the nation. 

Thus Los Angeles with its smaller population of parasites would probably handle them with a combination of law enforcement and local citizen action. No so in Chicago and New York City.  With near a million in Chicago and twice as many in New York, the culture will quickly overflow the petri dish and consume the laboratory. A perfect storm - or a near perfect one - could occur if failures in infrastructure occur nearly simultaneously.  Transportation and energy delivery, possibly accompanied by a failure of the water supply, could cause destruction on a grand scale. Not just from starvation and disease, but from internecine violence on a grand scale. 

Once this is happening in the larger pools, the smaller ones would likely become smaller versions. Memphis has just four hundred thousand or so, but with resources diverted to the big disasters there would be no help for Memphis or St. Louis.  Those are red states where law enforcement would have a chance, but Portland and Minneapolis, where law enforcment has been crippled both by government action and flight of personnel to friendlier climates, would be in big trouble.

What does the perfect storm look like? Part of it is already here. The armed forces are insufficient to control the situation. The current regime fancies using them to control a recalcitrant population of regular citizens, the ones who are at present busy with their lives, trying to survive and not normally inclined to rebel but by this time might be. The parasite population would rebel sooner, and all military resources (those remaining after desertions) would quickly prove inadequate. So much for subduing the resistance.

487,083     active duty personnel (2022)[5]
352,358     Army National Guard personnel (2022)
191,752     Army Reserve personnel (2022)[5]
1,007,193     total uniformed personnel

252,747     civilian personnel (30 September 2020)
1,258,472     total

4,406 crewed aircraft


Just over a million Army, about 25% actual combat personnel (drivers, cooks, clerks, etc. won't be much use) against millions (10-12 million?) spread out all over the country. Think of a dozen of more "police actions" or "interventions" such as are carried out in various countries (Africa and the Middle East in recent years, Asia in the past) here. Closer to home of course, but then they would have to bring those forces back from wherever in the world they are to use here. So not much help there.

Another element of the storm that is in place to a large degree is the crumbling infrastructure. Highways (and their bridges) are in bad shape, and some of the worst are the most critical - carrying supplies into the cities. Energy distribution is likewise tenuous, and again the blue states are most vulnerable.

Cities require 14/7/365 replenishment of food, and in the cesspools food acquisition is a daily process - many of the denizens don't have pantries and refrigerators, or even permanent homes in many cases. They are like animals foraging in the wild and always finding sufficient fruits, roots, berries, grubs.. figuratively speaking of course.

So power outages, interruption of water supplies, and no food coming in creates a rather ugly situation to say the least.

In MacArthur's Freehold and similar works, the author posits a partisan organization that has among its other plans the crippling of this infrastructure. Taking down the electricty transmission towers connecting the cities, blowing railroad bridges (railways are generally in better shape than the roads) as well as the highway bridges, and possibly sabotaging water supplies. Surface water supplies are vulnerable in many areas, and wells might be affected by electrical interruption. No water would get to them sooner than a lack of food.

Delayed effects would be related to medical needs. If the situation existed for very long disease would become a problem. Hundreds of thousands of corpses on top of all the other unpleasantness.



Okey-dokey, enough unpleasantness for now. Catchyalater.

Anyway, there you have it.  It's almost certainly something the regime hasn't figured on.  As most of the prepper enclaves - existing or newly formed to deal with the situation - will be safe from both the government and the hordes unleashed by the breakdown.  It's likely the key personnel - governors, mayors, social and political elites and anyone with the resources - will flee if it gets too hot.  Where do they flee to?  Some who have places outside the country may well use them, others may have them far enough away from the cities to be safe.  The government employees - including law enforcement - will be left to face the music.  The LE types would at the very least abandon their posts and flee.  Out here in flyover country we'll be watching the news, however it gets here - TV reporting may be scarce - and watching the fun.

Then Came the Last Days of May Lyrics

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma]
Parched land, no desert sand, the sun is just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause (It's hot...)
Three good buddies were laughin' and smokin'
In the back of a rented Ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket
To go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all held the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far

[Verse 2: Buck Dharma]
Sky's bright, the traffic light, now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (What luck...)
They brought everything they needed
Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said, "The border's just over the bluff"
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren plain
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been laid?

[Outro: Buck Dharma]
They're okay, the last days of May, but I'll be breathin' dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there (All there...)
Wouldn't be interested in coming along instead of staying here?
It's said the West is nice this time of year, that's what they say

Biden's quiet attack on rural America smells just as bad as manure

OPINION BY Rep. Randy Feenstra | Fox News

Just Now

Biden's bureaucracy will use rule to bully American farmers

"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the devil has come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Revelation 12:12 The left is desperate to wreak as much destruction as possible, believing they will rule the ashes. The millions out here in flyover country, pepared for the worst, will survive while the cities collapse on themselves. Estimates of 50 million or more dead, and with the infrastructure wrecked rebuilding will be very slow, so the carnage will continue long afterward. And those who expect to rule the ashes will be ashes themselves.

The democrats think "we" don't need farms because they get all of their groceries at the grocery store. Reply

 You think you're tough for eating beans every day? There's half a million scarecrows in Denver would give anything for one mouthful of what you got. They've been under siege for about three months. They live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes on each other. At night the pyres for the dead light up the sky. It's medieval. Colonel Tanner (Red Dawn)
