Survival Saturday is a round-up of the week’s news and resources for folks who are interested in being prepared.
This Week in the News
This week, Survival Saturday is going to be a little different. A rant of sorts. My friends in alternative media and I are all exhausted. We’re burned out because we have been ringing warning bells for years, and yet all of the things we have warned about are coming to fruition. World War III could erupt any day now. A great deal of our sovereignty as a nation has been given away, and even more giveaways of our freedoms are planned.
And good grief, are these two yahoos, Trump and Clinton, the best we can do out of a country of more than 300 million people? These are honestly the two best choices for running our country? Both of them should be disqualified and we need to start over.
All the while, people are busy worrying about ridiculous things. They’re trying to justify which offensive person running for president is the least offensive, when in truth, they’re both horrible people. Our system is beyond redemption for more reasons that I can explain in this short article.
We’re all passengers on the highway to hell, and I’m pretty sure Hillary Clinton is going to be driving the car, pedal to the metal.
Your vote is completely irrelevant, and here’s why.
We all get brainwashed into thinking that voting is our civic duty. We’ve all heard people say, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.”
Damn right I can complain.
I can complain because voting is baloney for many many reasons.
First of all, the electoral college means that the popular vote is completely irrelevant. A candidate could get 99% of the popular vote and still not be president. Just ask Al Gore how that works.
This is because of the electoral college system, in which 538 people make the decision of who will be the next president. To win the presidency, a candidate must get 270 electoral college votes. BUT – the “representatives” in the electoral college are under no legal obligation to vote according to the wishes of the people they allegedly represent.
So, back in 2000, George W. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore.
- Bush: 50,456,002
- Gore: 50,999,897
But, as you know, we never had a President Gore, did we? That’s because Bush got 271 electoral votes and Gore only got 266.
It has always been this way – it’s written into the Constitution. From History.com
When Americans vote for a President and Vice President, they are actually voting for presidential electors, known collectively as the electoral college. It is these electors, chosen by the people, who elect the chief executive. The Constitution assigns each state a number of electors equal to the combined total of the state’s Senate and House of Representatives delegations; at present, the number of electors per state ranges from three to 54, for a total of 538…
…Aside from Members of Congress, and persons holding offices of “Trust or Profit” under the Constitution, anyone may serve as an elector…
…They are pledged and expected, but not required, to vote for the candidates they represent. Separate ballots are cast for President and Vice President, after which the electoral college ceases to exist for another four years. The electoral vote results are counted and certified by a joint session of Congress, held on January 6 of the year succeeding the election. A majority of electoral votes (currently 270 of 538) is required to win. If no candidate receives a majority, then the President is elected by the House of Representatives, and the Vice President is elected by the Senate, a process known as contingent election….
So never once, in the history of our country, has voting actually mattered. We have never truly had a voice. That’s why no one really cares about election fraud. If your dog, my dog, and the neighbor’s cat all voted, it wouldn’t matter one iota.
This video provides further enlightenment.
The system is set up so that whoever the people pulling the strings want to be the president, becomes the president. All the while, we’re given the illusion that we had a choice in the first place. We get the bread and circuses of the debates, the campaigns, and the scandals.But we never, never did have anything to say about it.
So, Clinton is probably going to win, regardless of how many votes she does or does not get.
Okay, maybe I’m overtired – I’ve done a lot of driving on The Great American Unschooling Trip. Actually, that’s when it came to me, sitting in traffic on yet another highway with my kiddo dozing in the seat beside me – Clinton is going to win the election, although I use the word “win” very loosely.
There is no way the wealthy elite running our country are going to let Trump sit in the Oval office and make decisions of national and international importance. There is no way.
Not only is our political system a corrupt system to begin with, but Clinton has been the anointed one for years.
If Trump somehow got 98% of the popular vote, he still wouldn’t become the president. We need only look at the clusterfeather of the Democratic National Convention to see a few things:
- The committee itself worked AGAINST Bernie Sanders in favor of Clinton
- They colluded with the media to make Clinton look better
- Bernie WON THE NOMINATION but they didn’t use that vote, and instead doctored a vote later in the day so that Clinton won.
Be sure and check out the latest Wikileaks to see how the media is STILL colluding with Clinton to make people think she is really a decent human and the favored candidate. It’s massive.
Now many will say I am some kind of crazy conspiracy theorist (what else is new?) but this is more than the musings of an overtired and traffic fume-infused brain.
Think about it for a minute.
Clinton has made several things very clear:
- She is out of touch with the masses.
- She favors open borders and a One World Government.
- She has the backing of not only most of the elite in the US but the governments of our allies abroad.
- She will ride rough-shod over the rights of others to get her way.
- She has been proven to be a liar, a rape apologist, and a risk to national security, yet she still has the support of those with money and power.
- She is pro-war.
- She has proven her willingness to barter the favors of her position to make millions of dollars.
She gets away with this for one reason and one only: She is the chosen mouthpiece that will usher in Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, and the One World Government that she and her cronies, both home and abroad, crave.
I’m hard-pressed to imagine a more corrupt candidate than Hillary Clinton. I’m blown away that there are people lacking enough in discretion that they still support her and think she is looking out for the good of anything but her offshore account balance.
Who better to be a patsy than the first woman president?
Remember Kathleen Sebelius, the bringer of Obamacare? When things went south, it was all blamed on her. Nobody said, “Wait, she’s just the one instituting a horribly flawed plan.” They said, “She’s an idiot. I can’t believe what a mess she made of it.”
So perhaps Clinton, too, is a patsy, the person that will be blamed if, or rather when, it all comes tumbling down. And then everyone will say, “See? We knew that a woman shouldn’t be president of the United States.”
She doesn’t think it will crumble though ,and she is willing to take the chance to go down in history as not only the first US female president but as The President who ushered in global governance. She is a money-hungry control-freak who will take any risk to see her dreams realized.
The stage is set with the world in crisis.
The stage is almost ready for the final act and the signs have been there for some time. Europe is preparing for massive upheaval as evidenced by Germany and the Czech Republic telling their citizens to prepare for disaster.
The migrant crisis in Europe prompted the UK to make the decision to go it alone. That same crisis is seeing the rise of the far-right in Germany, the ‘powerhouse’ of Europe, which is also struggling with collapsing banks and increasing unemployment. Sweden is going up in flames and there have been calls for a joint ‘European Army‘, which many think is an attempt to pull together the failing EU as much as forming a serious defense force.
The Obama administration is doing it’s best to goad Moscow over Syria and Clinton boasted openly that she would impose a no-fly zone that applies only to Russia and Syria should she become president. Russia has indicated they will not accept this under any circumstances. An ally of Vladimir Putin has blatantly said that if Hillary Clinton is elected, there will be a war between the US and Russia, two major nuclear powers. A UN soldier has been quoted as saying they will soon “occupy America” and go door-to-door to collect guns.
The WSJ is reporting that South Korea want nukes of their own as tensions rise between Seoul and Pyongyang. India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, are stepping up the rhetoric over the disputed Kashmiri border.
This stuff is real.
This stuff is happening.
The world is falling apart and that makes it a totally perfect time for Clinton to step in and deliver the death-blow, implementing, for our own good, of course, the one-world government.
It won’t come right away. There will be a few steps we have to go through before the hammer falls. Those steps won’t take long, though.
The MSM will ramp up the threat of war, possibly nuclear war. Every time Putin so much as passes wind, it will be marketed as aggression. The vast majority of the public will go into meltdown, people will empty stores trying to stock up on food and water before it all begins. There will be riots and looting and violence… and that’s when President Clinton will implement martial law, “for our protection.”
Our allies in Europe will back the United States, alienating and isolating Russia even further. Moscow will move closer to Beijing. They may forge closer links with North Korea, possible turning crazy little Kimmy into their patsy…let him push the button if the time comes so that they appear blameless. Who would question it if he set off an EMP blast over America? We all know he is a crazy fellow with a short fuse.
Maybe the ‘hemispheric government‘ Clinton refers to is actually an east-west split, not a north-south one.
Cue music.
The traffic has started to clear and we are on the move again. The kiddo is dozing, and when I turned on the radio… Highway To Hell by AC/DC was playing.
How very appropriate.
If When Clinton makes it to the White House, we most likely are going to be traveling that highway. Our lives, and the lives of everyone on the planet, are going to change forever.
I know that the information here is a lot for some folks who have been long-time believers in our “freedom,” our “democracy,” and our “constitutional republic.” But the ship has sailed with the electoral college. Your vote is completely meaningless, and only by civil disobedience, by refusing to put up with this deceit, and by spreading information, can we regain the freedom that people came to these shores to find.
The power we have is knowledge. We are onto their game. We can make our voices heard. There are far more of “us” than there are of “them” and yet we sit here, behaving as though we are powerless. It’s like the young girls who are taught to be polite to the extent that they end up becoming victims because they didn’t have it in them to be rude.
You have to see what is happening.
You have to share this information in a way that helps everyone else to see, too.
You have to let “them” know that we aren’t falling for their suckers game.
I refuse to go quietly down that highway, and I hope you do too.

As I read this post I am reduced to tears. But tears won’t help anything. I don’t have a clue as to how this is going to play out, but it isn’t going to be good. And what is the good of stocking up, preparing, trying to eat healthily so your body doesn’t betray you, etc, etc, when there is no hope. So sad to see what our grandchildren, great grandchildren etc are going to inherit.
Elections ago- and I cannot remember how many years, I realized that our government was just like my npd mother. She lied, manipulated everything and anything she could, had favorites (not me) and made sure my life was what she wanted and would favor her life choices, not her children. Yup. Just like the government. They lie, manipulate, have favorites, and are NOT interested in our welfare. They love it when the little people deal with problems that were desgined to make us miserable. They do not want us to have a life that is good for us, only good for them. Well, I don’t live like that anymore. I will not vote now or ever.
You know, Daisy, I have been trying to teach people about the electoral college and how elections really work for about 45 years and I think I can count on one hand how many of those actually listened, believed what I was telling them, and/or did more research for themselves. It’s like trying to teach people we’ve never been a democracy and the difference between a democracy and a republic. It’s a sad state we live in where people allow themselves to be so easily manipulated. Heck, the majority of people would believe the sky is actually hot pink with purple polka dots if someone in authority told them it was.
Thanks for always telling things as they are… even when it won’t win you a popularity contest.
I am voting against HC. In other words, I am voting for DT. The Supreme Court is who really determines the laws in this country now and there is at least one position to fill with more possible. I believe DT will be best for our country in nominating for these.
Regarding AG and GB: Perhaps GB really would have received the legitimate popular vote if the illegitimate votes due to the DP voter fraud votes country-wide could have been discounted.
I think the Electoral College should be abolished and also the two party system run by the DP and RP.
I agree. More than any election in history, we must vote and vote for Trump. Trump, although far from perfect, is our only chance at saving this country. He is not a typical politician because he is not a puppet of the elite. Before the Brexit vote, MSM propaganda did the same as here. They tried to convince the voters that there was no chance in hell that the vote would be yes to leaving the EU. They hoped everyone would stay home and not vote. However, enough people voted that any voter fraud didn’t matter. Same will happen here.
Stop listening to MSM and the polls, which are likely false. Who cares about Trump’s personal life. Most of it is lies to stop him. Yes, he has a big ego, but that big ego may very well save this country from disaster. Yes, he said many stupid things about women but so have many other men in private to make themselves look like they have all the power when it comes to women. In my experience (not that I have a ton), men who talk like this are usually just that, all talk. I don’t care about his personal life, I care that he loves this country enough to stand up to globalism, the elite, MSM, Hillary, Obama, and everything that is wrong in America. He doesn’t need the money. Why else would he risk his life and his family’s life if he didn’t love America?
MSM is doing everything in their power to get Hillary, the NWO puppet, in office. She wants to eliminate borders completely, raise taxes, and increase spending and the deficit. With her, we are guaranteed WW3 or a financial collapse or both. Don’t let them win. No one knows for sure that voting is useless. If there is even a slight chance voting will keep the Clinton’s out of office and prevent a war (and I believe there is), then I will be there in line on November 8th. So should everyone else if you love this country. Don’t stay home if you dislike Trump. Stay home because you hate this country and could care less what happens. I can’t and won’t do that. I will vote and pray my vote counts to save America.
Also, prayer can and does change things and so I am praying a lot for right discernment for all Christians and for God to act in this election for the good of this country. Perhaps then many people who planned to vote for HC will simply decide to skip voting because they will believe that HC has already won.
Jan, again I agree. I don’t care what the polls are predicting, I will vote and pray for this country.
Notice how when you vote with your credit card, you get a receipt and can check on your monthly statement (or today, live on the Internet) how your purchase vote was counted and posted to your account. In case of fraud, you can hold the bums responsible. Notice that when we vote, we get no receipt. Because the crooks want to be able to tabulate the votes any fictitious way they please. When we vote, we should get to pick a number off a screen, e.g. from 001 to 101 early in the day, 200-299 later on, etc. That number YOU pick gets printed (including bar codes) onto your ballot along with date, state code, county code, and precinct code. When you insert your voted ballot, you get a xerox copy for proof. Then, you can go to any computer and google your precinct results, voter by voter and ballot issue by ballot issue. Only you know you are scrolling down to voter ID #316 or whatever, so the system doesn’t know what to fake. If your vote has been stolen or changed, you have proof you can print off a copy of. But we don’t have this kind of proof because the bureaucrat and politician crooks want nobody to be wise to their frauds. You can also count how many people go in and out of the precinct voting place to make sure the total number of voters listed on the internet matches how many people voted, so there are no votes stolen and no fictions padded in IF you can google the precinct totals. Some say individual marks on ballots allow bribes and blackmailing of winos and dopers, but that is a phony argument. There are already 30-40% of the ballots done absentee, and any of those millions are subject to bribery and blackmail already. What the crooks want is for honest people to have no way to verify how badly and frequently their votes are being stolen and altered.
I enjoy reading your posts but the last couple of weeks of Survival Saturday some of your stories won’t load. Just get pictures of typewriter keys. Do you think you are being censored by the new internet police?
A note on the Electoral College: way back, when the Founders actually wanted this whole experiment to work, they had a very good reason for this. It was supposed to prevent large, populous areas from overwhelming the needs of smaller, more rural communities.
The Founding Fathers HATED the cities of London, Paris, and Rome. They saw that those places literally sucked the goods, money, jobs, and influence out of the rest of the country. If we did not have the Electoral College, politicians would literally visit NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco-period. They would be the only votes that matter. Because we give coal miners in Appalachia the same weight as bankers in Houston, it levels the playing field. Let’s use our mutual state of California as an example. No one believes me when I tell them that most of California is very conservative! But, we are overwhelmed by the politics of LA, SF, San Jose, Sacramento,and SD. Redding or Susanville might have great ideas or be terrific places to live; but no tourist ever heard of them. California has been the nation’s leading dairy state since 1993, when it surpassed Wisconsin in milk production. Even Californians are shocked to hear that.
Population voting is simply mob rule. What does need to be fixed is a requirement for those in the Electoral College to be required to vote the way the voters decide.
I’m voting for Trump. He is the last ticket out of this mess! Hillary will shred the Bill of Rights and get us into WW3.
The Final Act will be World War
‘Yesterday we learned the RAF (British air force) instructed their pilots to shoot down Russian planes over Syria. We also know the U.S. recently painted several planes in Russian colors. Do you really believe this is for a drill? Or more likely some sort of false flag where eyewitnesses swear they saw MIGs with their own eyes attack some target?’ …

If the election were simply a popular vote, the candidates would only campaign on the two coastal areas and leave flyover USA out of consideration. In that circumstance, your vote truly would not matter.
Please tell me where any Elector for Gore voted for Bush. I’ll wait a moment.
The only time I can remember any Elector voting differently than the way they were elected goes back to George Wallace who had one of his Electors vote for Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant.
Actually the electoral college system can turn out to be our savior this time around. We need to understand this system our smart founders set up. Here in Utah, for example, hundreds of thousands are voting third party in order to throw the election into the House of Representatives where we have a chance to get someone better than either Hillary or Donald (who have been good friends for years). Check out your state and see if you also might want to vote third party. The object is to deny both Hillary and Donald the 270 electoral votes needed so the election goes to the House.
I just found your website, thanks to a friend forwarding and it was so refreshing to see the US is not totally brain dead…a few still light the candle of knowledge. Thanks. Keep on spreading the word, knowledge is our only hope now…slim, but still worth a try.
I was reading about rice and then came upon this! I love our country and want to preserve what it stands for! The only choice I have is to vote for Trump and I believe he will have the best people under him to help make America Great Again!
