Climate Change

It’s being used to manipulate the public already, and is waiting in the wings to usher in digital passports, carbon allowances, 15-minute cities and all sorts of things that will relieve us of our freedoms. You notice they’re no longer calling it “global warming.” It was getting to be uncomfortably difficult to shoot down all the evidence that the globe is indeed not warming at all, so they changed terms (just like the term “vaccine” was changed to incorporate drugs that did not, in fact, prevent disease.) Now we are meant to be frightened by “climate change.” Whut?? The climate has always and forever changed. Get informed about climate change because it’s the Next Thing that will be used to restrict our liberties. More info at Beginner’s Guide to Climate Change > 

Go Eat Bugs – It’s Not a Joke

The World Economic Forum is pushing the consumption of bugs rather than meat as a protein source. To most people, this still sounds like a joke. I assure you, it’s not. Cricket flour has already been introduced into school snacks in many countries, including Australia and Canada. The European Union has just approved the use of insects in baked goods and pasta, without specific labelling required, though the same people who react to shellfish are likely to be allergic to insects. Be aware of the term, acheta domesticus on ingredient lists; it’s house crickets. Crickets are the most common insects in food currently, followed by grasshoppers and mealworms.

It is certainly true that the land and water needed to supply one pound of cricket flour is much less than the land needed to produce one pound of beef. But as a staple food source, there are several problems with insects: chitin and parasites. And if you were to be afflicted by parasites after eating insects, what would be the go-to drug to treat that illness? Bonus points to those tin-hats who answered Ivermectin, which is now prohibited in many places.

Do your insect research now because soon the internet will soon be purged of valid scientific information about the possibly harmful effect of insects in the human diet. Mainstream news sources already argue for the safety of chitin, or at least they “debunk” those who say insects aren’t safe for human consumption. I distrust most opinions of the mainstream, so now what?

Fortunately for CORAC members, we have our own resident rocket scientist, Steve Baker, to consult. Steve is an excellent science researcher. He authored the “Anti-Covid Cookbook” that many of us used in 2020-21. I consulted him for some hard common sense and basic science around eating bugs. Here’s his response:

I’m definitely not an expert on the subject, but what I’ve read by people I think are trustworthy on the subject is that there are two problems with eating insects.

First, we humans can apparently get parasites from insects. It’s why, until recently, food regulators have limited insects and worms as content in things like ketchup, or catsup, or whatever it’s called. Years ago a friend of mine in California told me that ketchup can’t qualify as a salable food unless it has “less than 1% worm parts.” I would assume that was because more than that is not healthy and less than that is technologically prohibitive, so a compromise was struck. So if Dioxin has to be less than 1 ppb to be safe, and ketchup has to be less than 1% worm parts, and insects have parasites, why is 100% insect parts supposed to be good for you, let alone better for you and the planet than meat from herbivores that when properly managed, help wide-scale ecological areas become more fruitful?

It is true that some tribes occasionally eat insects. However, no tribe has ever been vegan, all eat some form of animal meat and only trace amounts of insects from a very narrow group of insects, and the tribes that eat more meat are healthier than the tribes that eat less meat.

But I guess eating no meat and eating insects instead will save the planet from us, so there is that, I guess. Which of course demonstrates immediately that this push to make us eat insects is anti-human on its face.

Second, chitin is a foreign protein that appears in a number of foods, like mushrooms, so it’s not like we aren’t otherwise exposed to it. Our bodies have ways of handling chitin, and like other foreign irritants (anthocyanins and so on) small amounts can even be good for the body by exercising the body’s immune system. However, chitin can also trigger a lot of allergic reactions, and a heavy diet of chitin would probably overload the subsystems of the body that either digest (with chitinase enzymes) or bind and remove chitin.

Tribes throughout history have tried every substance under the sun to see if it is good for humans to eat, because the wider the diet and the deeper the pool of potential food, the easier it is to stay alive and get needed calories so that you can do other things with your day. No tribe EVER has chosen insects to raise and eat in any quantity but small snacks. That alone should tell you what you need to know about insects as a large part of the human diet.

Besides, it’s gross. 🤣

The Evils are only doing this to enslave and kill us, so debates over whether insects in large amount are good for us seem to me to be beside the point entirely, as these murderers need to be brought to justice, not catered to by changing human dietary experience for literally a million years or more for us and not for them. Why are we supposed to eat a gross food in large amounts and stay in 15-minute cities to save the world while they fly around in private jets, consume as much electricity as they want, obtain the services of prostitutes (or worse), and consume steak and eggs every day?

It doesn’t matter whether insects are good for you or not. Forcing us to eat insects is just rubbing our faces in our own slavery. Do not comply. In fact, do not even *think* about complying. Just laugh.

Biblical Prepping

If someone in your circle is giving you grief about prepping, here are some examples from the Bible. A point will come when they’ll stop making fun of you and ask for a seat on your ark, but in the meantime, take comfort from these stories:

Noah, the epic prepper. Genesis 6
Joseph, stockpiling grain in Egypt that would supply everyone during a worldwide famine. Genesis 41
Moses, bugging out of Egypt in a day. Exodus 14Solomon, redundant processes to survive disaster. Ecclesiastes 11
James, acting on faith is necessary. James 2:26

February Foraging

The trails around here look a little bleak, brown and bare… but there are still things to forage! February is a good time to develop foraging skills because what’s there is visible in high relief. Some of the good things available in this part of winter are: stinging nettle, rose hips, gorse and dock. Read more here >

Tracking the Unvaxed

New CDC guidelines have assigned billing codes that identify the un- or under-vaccinated. Code Z28.310 is not a code for an illness or diagnosis, but rather for non-compliance with a medical procedure. There’s even a sub-code for failure to vaccinate because of “belief.” Once these codes are entered in medical databases, they can be accessed by the government. See Dr. Malone’s explanation of the new codes here >

If you must visit a doctor, you might try answering their vaccine queries with something that is neither a yes nor a no, such as “I decline to answer.”

Traditional Latin Mass

Dr. Janet Smith is putting out a series of defenses of the TLM in Crisis Magazine. The first appears here >

It’s well-footnoted, makes good sense and is a pleasure to read, like all Dr. Smith’s ponderings. Part Two here >

If You’re a Rad Trad and Get a Knock on Your Door

This video is an interview with Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI special agent and federal whistleblower, who obtained the “Radical Traditionalist Catholic” document from the bureau’s field office in Richmond, Virginia, and published it here >

According to Seraphin, this targeting of Rad Trads is meant to be an opening through which all Christians can be persecuted for opposing abortion and LGBTQIA+ agendas. This social engineering is way beyond the FBI’s mandate. The video is 1 hour, 21 minutes, but if you ever actually need this information, you’ll be glad you invested the time. Watch video >

Region 3 Co-coordinator Kirby Bowling

(Region 3 is the Eastern Seaboard: Virginia, West Virginia, North & South Carolina, Maryland and Delaware.)

Kirby: “I met Charlie doing a Jericho march around the US Capitol and joined CORAC shortly after then became the Region 3 coordinator about a year later during the pandemic. As a combat veteran, fighting for freedom is part of my fabric. CORAC fights for freedom through prayer and creating more self-reliant small, virtuous local communities; communities that are resistant to and defend against the problems that are plaguing our society. The pandemic and stripping of our freedoms was a call for me to actively assist in resisting the tyranny, defending our freedoms and promoting virtuous people and businesses.

“We have one small community called Pelayo in Virginia which is doing amazing things to build and sustain its members in normal and crisis situations and we are working on a second. My goal is to have at least one community in each state.

“Region 3 has been having workshops in different states centered around building sustainability/self-protection and access to secure and reliable communications in both normal and crisis circumstances. We are looking to expand that offering to include homeopathy and foraging/gardening.”

Region 6: A Cautionary Tale

This story is from one of our most savvy members, which goes to show that we all need to practice situational awareness. I don’t want to embarrass the author so I’m not going to mention the name of our Health & Wellness team leader and a regional coordinator for the Great Lakes region…

“Last week, the Sustainability Signal thread had a conversation about finding local sources of animal feed. Around the corner from us, 2.2 miles to be exact, there is an Amish family that sells organic feeds and supplements. I decided that I was going to drive over, introduce myself, and get the lay of the land. It was 4:00, and I wanted to get there before they might close. So I threw on a black skirt (they’re Amish, so I didn’t want to show up looking weird), some knee socks, my hikers, a turtleneck and sweatshirt, and a bandanna. On the way out the door, I grabbed a stocking cap and my husband’s hunting jacket. I was only going to be gone for maybe 15 minutes, so I didn’t bother taking my phone.

In two minutes, I’m at their driveway. We had recently gotten 8 inches of snow (Michigan) and my little Ford Focus only made it 100 yards up the driveway before it simply gave up. Better call my husband… whoops, I have no phone. I walk up to the store and see a handwritten sign: “We will be closed on Friday due to a funeral.” Uh oh. I look toward the house, wondering if maybe someone is home and and might let me use their telepho… oh, wait; they’re Amish and won’t have a telephone. Turns out there was nobody home anyway. Looks like I’d be walking home. I didn’t bring any mittens, so I got back in the car and rummaged around in my husband’s gym bag until I found a pair of socks. I put them on my hands, and started walking.

By the end of the first half-mile, I was pretty cold; I was wearing a skirt, for Pete’s sake. I was also walking straight into a 15 mph wind; and since it was only 27º, the wind chill was a problem. My torso and my head were warm enough, but my face was freezing. I started worrying about whether my face might get frostbitten; but I knew that if I turned around and walked backwards, I would never get home before dark. I kept trudging forward.

Then it started to snow. And as I’m walking straight into that cold, cold wind, I hear Marilyn’s voice in my head, asking a question that she has often asked those of us who serve under her leadership on the Sustainability team: “If you had to walk a mile carrying a gallon of water, could you do it?” I was really glad that I wasn’t carrying a gallon of water.

Thanks be to God, I eventually made it home. I asked my son to make me a cup of hot tea while I went upstairs to change into warm, dry clothing. But even before changing, I grabbed my homeopathic kit and took a dose of Aconitum 200 (which is prophylactic against ill effects from exposure to cold temperature and winds). The hot tea, the Aconite, and a couple of warm blankets did the trick; and I eventually thawed out and didn’t get sick.

So, what’s the point of this story? Marilyn (national Sustainability lead) trying to be kind, told me that I had done a good FAIL project. (meaning “First Attempt In Learning.) I look at it more as a FAIL(ure) project. I did so many things wrong: no phone, no pants, no mittens, no scarf, and no clue that the Yoders’ driveway would be a mess because of the snow. On the other hand I did a few things right: I had on warm, sturdy shoes, a warm coat, hat, and hood; I improvised some mittens; I was in good enough shape that I was able to walk the 2.2 miles home, notwithstanding that I don’t exercise as much as I should; and I remembered to take advantage of a homeopathic remedy for the cold-weather exposure.

This experience convinced me that it is incredibly important to exercise, so I am now making that a top priority. It also convinced me that I should never leave home without a means of communication, even if I’m only going around the corner.”
