Simply God, Simply Jesus, Simply Scripture – “I like to think I am a simple man, and a practical one.

We do well to remember that Jesus Himself preached a virtue of simplicity,” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Hidden Secrets of Salt – “For 50 years, medicine has waged a misguided war against critical sources of health like salt and sunlight while avoiding discussing the real causes of diseases. Because of this, the dangers of salt are relentlessly focused on despite evidence not supporting them. In parallel, the extreme dangers of consuming too little salt are rarely discussed in the medical field—despite dangerously low sodium being one of the most common conditions seen in hospitalized patients, and chronically low sodium greatly increasing one’s risk of dying.” – A Midwestern Doctor

Where Did America Go? – “America’s dissolution is proceeding pell mell. The President of the United States uses profanity in his public statements that would have shocked earlier generations, threatening all who displease him with destruction. Crimes are turned into misdemeanors in order to avoid the “racism” of having too many blacks incarcerated. The number of scammers taking advantage of the digital revolution is beginning to rival the number of people in the legitimate work force. Wherever we look in public and private institutions we see mounting corruption. Honesty no longer pays.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Questions rise as US claims deeper control of Strait of Hormuz – “How much oil is actually getting through the Strait of Hormuz? And is the reward for the Pentagon worth the resources it is expending? Those are some of the key outstanding questions as the Trump administration touts some success in steering tankers through a southern channel of the strait along the coast of Oman. The operation has allowed the U.S. to claw back some control from Iran over the passage, which has been largely closed since late February. But these efforts require significant resources from the Pentagon, and the reward is just a fraction of gain in the amount of oil traversing the strait compared to pre-war levels.” – Ellen Mitchell

So America Is Bailing Out…Itself? – “Recently, the U.S. bailed out Japan. The latter had accumulated government debt that, on a per capita basis, dwarfed that of any other country ever. But What About Our Self-Bailout? The U.S., like Japan, is massively indebted, and its interest rates have been rising lately. In response, the U.S. Treasury decided to try something called “yield curve control”, which involves issuing short-term bills and using the proceeds to buy back outstanding long-term bonds. But — like Japan — we’re not doing anything to fix our massive structural deficits, so bond traders responded with a resounding “no thank you.” Instead of embracing government paper, capital poured into cryptos……and gold:” – John Rubino

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Why Our Grocery Bags Keep Getting Lighter And Lighter – “A small roast used to feed a family without anybody giving it much thought. You brought it home, dropped it into a heavy pan with potatoes, carrots, and onions, and let the whole house fill with the smell of Sunday dinner. Now that same roast can cost more than a tank of gas used to. Across the country, shoppers are pulling out their phones in the checkout aisle and filming their receipts as if they’re gathering evidence at a crime scene. In a way, they are.” – Bill Heid
When Your Partner Ignores the Collapse – “Surviving Collapse Together (Even When You Disagree). A spouse or partner who ignores the reality of civilizational decline creates an exhausting divide. It’s the realization that your chosen partner might not work side-by-side with you when shit gets real. Realistically, if the water stops flowing or grocery shelves are empty they’ll panic and perhaps finally acknowledge the gravity of our situation. But you need them to think about it today. In time to plan and prepare, so you’re not trapped running for the exits with the rest of the crowd.” – Sarah Connor

VERSES FOR THE DAY
Psalm 94:3-4 Lord , how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
IMAGE FOR THE DAY
LYRIC FOR THE WEEK
All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no England now (there’s no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
All the lies of the people running ’round
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside we’re the same as we ever were
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Living this way, each day is a dream
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Now another century nearly gone (gone)
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn’t do, what we wouldn’t do
It’s a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Then another leader says
“Break their hearts and break some heads”
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in bloody guts
And when they’re gone, it’s me and you
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
( Living On A Thin Line by Dave Davies )
