Avoiding Predators:
Just as prey use cues to detect the presence of predators, predators use cues to detect prey. Animals can therefore avoid attracting a predator’s attention by minimizing cues of their presence, such as by remaining silent, seeking refuge, and reducing overall activity levels when risk of predation is high. -“unknown”
Most all my friends from Los Angeles have moved. Many to Nashville, others to Austin, New York state, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona. It’s mass exodus out of California. Not hard to understand. Insanely high cost of living, state tax, property tax, things tax, tax tax, crazy politicians, deluge of newcomers, higher crime, no law enforcement for serious crimes… the list goes on and on.
But is there something else happening? Seems like everyone I know is thinking about where to go next. Even the ones who’ve already left LA. A friend of mine recently informed me they were moving from Texas to the East Coast due in part to these Venezuelan gangs who’ve been surfacing in Austin as of late. It makes me wonder if something is in the air. Like maybe we’re all feeling displaced because of some impending sense of dread or doom.
Forbes Magazine this month made a list of states people are leaving, and California was #1. Congratulations CA. That was NOT easy! You f’ing earned ever bit of that. 2.New York 3.Illinois 4.Pennsylvania 5.Massachusetts 6.Washington 7.Colorado 8.Indiana 9.Michigan 10.Wisconsin
And they’re moving to?
#1 is Texas, Yeehaw! Now say goodbye to all the Texans who’ll move to Oklahoma and say hello to your new California neighbors. 2.Florida 3.South Carolina 4.North Carolina 5.Georgia 6.Tennessee 7.Nevada 8.Maine 9.Delaware 10.Idaho
So the first obvious thing one learns from this list is the old Thatcher quote- “The problem with socialism is that pretty soon you run out of other people’s money”. This list proves that saying to be true. And now of course it’s just a matter of time until everyone is scrambling from these mostly red from blue states and looking at places like Viet Nam, El Salvador, Mexico, New Zealand and others. Many already are.
But I wonder if we’re running from ourselves. People don’t stand and fight anymore, they make memes and run. People don’t stand for what’s theirs, they go along to get along. We allowed them to put 5G towers on practically every block, every square ¼ mile of this nation without a vote. They don’t improve our cellular reception. They have no seeming usefulness at all… well until this recent terrorist move from Israel to Lebanon using ahem… ‘pagers’.
Who the FUCK uses pagers? I’ll tell you who. Nobody. Nobody’s using pagers, these are cell phones… but the cell phone companies don’t want that kind of spin! So they refer to them as ‘pagers’ instead. Whatever they weren’t, they were bombs. And they blew up in people’s laps, people’s faces, limbs torn off, children dead. By the thousands.
Some have reported lithium batteries can be controlled by cell towers and used just like bombs, and here’s a first sign of proof that they have at least some ominous use besides their fancy decorative motif of looking like Road-Runner cacti.
And all the arrows are in the oligarchs quiver… each arrow with a name, and all the archer has to do is draw back and insert any one of these at any time.
Nuclear War, Civil War, Pandemic, Mandatory Vaccinations, State Control Over Children’s Sexual Preference, Climate Change i.e. “H.A.A.R.P.”, MK Ultra & Mass Shootings, Food Shortages, Fires, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Dollar Collapse, Banking Collapse, Commercial Real Estate Collapse, BRICS, Mass Migration, Open Borders…. i mean that’s off the top of my head! You couldn’t manage things worse if you had a blueprint from AI on ‘how to destroy the world’.
And all I keep thinking about is being on that treadmill in my spare room back in ’09 when Van Jones… remember him? He’s the guy Jeff Bezos gave 100 million dollars to because ‘i just like him’? Van Jones kept repeating it. “Top down, Bottom up, and Inside Out’. That was the plan to destroy America, a revolution from the inside. Top down, Bottom up & Inside out. And aren’t we seeing every bit of that now?
So full circle, i’m not so sure it matters where we move… but it may be time to stand.

From the bottom up, your last paragraph IS the most important. I just wonder how it can be done when the
From the top down you have such a way of introducing an erudite discussion.
Inside & out I relate to all you’ve written.
We were locked down the longest, mismanaged in all the ways you say and still are …the State I live in is using tax payer money ( it’s not Government money , ever ) to pay Scotland to host the Commonwealth Games after losing millions for cancelling them here.
And now my phone decides to do its own thing. apologies.
My first sentence was meant to finish with I just wonder how it can be done when such appaling consequences of standing up are met with no accountability whatsoever.
I too wonder ” Where would I run to” ….my answer is “within”.
We need to get more involved starting from the bottom up. Go to your City Council meetings. Something I’ve wanted to do for a while now, and just talked to a relative who wants to run for alderman. Now this post just got me fired up, I may just be sitting next to her at the next meeting. I’ll keep you posted!
Brilliant Jude. Absolutely engulfs what I feel myself. I feel i’m on the precipice of something and have no idea if it’s good or bad. Just that something is coming and change is coming with it.
I’m just putting it in God’s hands because I’m not smart enough to figure any of this out. I just want to be left alone and with my family and find some happiness and grace. But I can hardly do that now either.
Grest post. Enjoyed your fresh take.

Top down has never worked, but they do not care what the peopke in the trenches have to say. They have to justify their made up jobs with 6 figure salaries.Dumb down education , because you won’t listen to the teachers. Heaven forbid they know what they are doing. Keep them busy in meetings that have no real meaning instead of trusting them to do their jobs! We have lost our focus in America!
I moved back to IL to be near family, not because I wanted to live in IL. All we can do is vote and hope there are more people with our values than not.
Like old folks have been saying for years (but it sure feels so true to me now), the end times are near. We can’t really run. It’s going to happen eventually. It’s time to dig in to your faith and be prepared for whatever may come. I think John Rich is right on it with his new song “Revelation” and the interviews he has done, ie Tucker, JP, etc. are SO worth watching.
California has always been “home” to me having lived there 3x. I’d love to move back but with everything as it is, I won’t. Left Illinois 2 years ago for SoCar and I’m not loving it, although the growth down here is unbelievable as well as the real estate price points. While living down here, I have seen license plates from every state in the union. It is truly a melting pot. I plan to move back to Illinois though – want of family and friends is strong. The restlessness lives in me almost daily – where is the “safe zone”? I said that things would ramp up after July 4th. They did. Negative Nancy in me says we have more rings of hell to go through – collectively. Get ready for the shit show 2.0
Spot on as always. I’m still “stuck” in IL. Have lived in TN before, wish I could go back, but priced out. At some point we are going to have to figure out how to throw out all the ruling class. You can only run so far.
Another great post, I love living in Illinois but know I can’t retire here , its a shame this state has been run into the ground by the corrupt politicians, Our Land of Lincoln slogan should be changed to Land of Governors sent to prison. We are being taxed to death, I don’t see anyway a change can be made outside a Nationwide Kinda Boston tea party .
Everyone refuse to pay your taxes , can’t throw us all in jail, what better way to demand change , but who am I kidding , the country is already divided in half , and it would be impossible getting everyone on the same page and start a national tax rebellion. Sorry for my rant
