How did I find you guys?  Web search for Doomstead diner.  I have a business trip to Texas coming up in a few months (construction client wants mobile security camera towers on a infrastructure - project solar farm with battery storage), so was looking to see if Eddie the Dentist was still on the doomer scene, and see if he wanted to sink a few beers. 

Glad to know we are findable via the search.  We've been around here on Kdogs Chasingthesquirrel.com URL, bur I only recently was able to buy the DooomsteadDiner.com URL and point it here.  About 2 months ago.

Eddie pretty much retired from Collapsology study, although I think he still has his Doomstead.  He may have retired by now also, I haven't spoken to him in at least 4 years.

I'm still not a huge fan of Gold, but I can't say I have any alternative much better.  Maybe balance with some Crypto, which I also am no fan of.  As we move forward, I think the real problem will be a lack of stuff to buy, and eventual Rationing for food and fuel.   Here in the FSoA though, the rationing thing is still probably a few years away.

So besides installing alarm systems, what else do you do as a Security Expert?  Sell gunz?  Design Booby-traps? lol.

I don't install alarm systems --that requires an Alarm Company Operator with a different license type, my cameras are already mounted by my supplier, onto solar tow-behind trailers.   I have a PPO - a Private Patrol Operator's license.   We deploy stationary guards, mobile patrol, and mostly mobile camera systems which are watched from dispatch.  A few patrol vehicle visits each of the 1-2 dozen active sites on a predetermined schedule, checking the assets, and checking in with dispatch.

We had an arsonist torching port-a-potties for a while - those things burn! The criminally-minded homeless are an issue, I've lost a few batteries, a wheel, and recently a solar panel.  My folks Standing Orders are to treat any homeless on property as a welfare check, give them water if needed (company provided), give the the English/Spanish info sheet on local resources, and treat them as human being even if you job requires you to escort them off the property. 

We have an unhoused guy who keeps jumping fences, using port-a-potties, then occasionally gives the camera the bird, before riding off on his bike, but he's never left a port-a-pottie in a mess, and he gets the finger back just so he knows we watch.

Not all fun and games, though.  We had two homeless die in a fire in an under-a-bridge utility room earlier this month, CHP requested nearly one hundred hours of footage from our nearby systems as part of their investigation.

I don't sell guns, I don't build booby traps - although one of the local EOD folks is a friend.  What I do have is a small private security force.  Management team are all ex-military.   Newbies are cutting their teeth watching bowling alleys, school gymnasium remodels, and equipment sitting around waiting for California red tape to go through. 🤣

Moving my headquarters to Texas and building a dome compound is back on the table. Winter '26-'27 west coast floods may cause issues in some areas of California this winter, which is expected to put upward pressure on Fresno home prices, given we're a potential bedroom town with the HSR project (which is further along than most think). 
 

Thresholds passed, plans triggered...

Trump tells Axios he will ask Netanyahu not to strike back at Iran

Trump is racing to stop the escalations from killing his hopes at a lasting deal with Iran. Netanyahu's answer will measure how much sway the American president still holds over Israel.

Here's how much NitwitYahoo listens to Trumpolini:

Israel hits Iran with new strikes despite Trump admonition

"Ceasefire" has become an utterly meaningless term.  So have "negotiation" & "diplomacy".  There has been zero progress toward resolving the issues and still they preetend things will get back to normak  in a month or two.  Forget it.  This is the new normal.

Has the Tide Turned Against Russia in the Ukraine War?

Ukraine's recent battlefield gains and growing ability to disrupt Russian logistics appear to be eroding Moscow’s battlefield advantage.  A shift that could eventually force the Kremlin to consider more decisive action.

[RE]

NitwitYahoo would listen to Chump why?

He won't unless Chump threatened him with some consequences, like economic sanctions or no more Patriot missiles.  He won't do that of course, because Israel is just a tool of the Oil industry used to keep oil prices high.  The industry here in Amerika is very happy Hormuz is shut down.  Their profits are way up.

At least 29 Lebanese nationals have been killed in the past 24 hours as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the country's south.

American propaganda claims a cease-fire.  It is a bare faced lie.  Both Israel and America are pulling shit, and Israel has Trump by the balls.

This phase of the Iranian conflict likely will only end when the West falls off the approaching economic cliff

The U.S. war with Iran has moved beyond its initial phase to an emerging new one — one in which Iran implicitly stakes its chances on the next phase being war.

Forcing Trump to play war and have him ignore the economic siege of America is not hard to do.  It is EZ.  And now America falls from incompetent stupidity.

I want to see Trump broil in hell so bad I could become religious.






The West is edging ever closer to dropping off an energy cliff, and the road to ruin is rapid.

Region to Turn into Hell for US, IRGC Aerospace Chief Warns

“You make the sacred Strait of Hormuz unsafe?! We will make the region hell for you from all over Iran.

"This is the response to the Americans' boldness in the region, God willing."

The warning came after the US terrorist military carried out a fresh act of aggression against Iran, targeting multiple cities in southern Iran.

In response, Iran's top military command announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint through which roughly one-fifth of global petroleum passes.

In a separate statement, the IRGC Navy warned that any vessel approaching the strategic waterway would face decisive action.

It further warned all oil tankers and commercial vessels currently operating in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman not to leave their anchorages.

Meanwhile, in response to the latest aggression, IRGC aerospace and naval divisions carried out coordinated attacks on 18 American military targets across the region.

Your contention that we do not have dumb people here may be correct, because what Trump is doing is so transparent that only a fool could not see it.  From which I conclude we have no shortage of fools.  The bar is low.

By all accounts Trump should be political toast by now.  But by making war Trump buys time against accountability.  The last thing Trump wants now is peace.  Trump wants lots of death.  War gives Trump the power he needs to enthrone himself.  It keeps his haters at bay.

Trump's strategy functions by treating geopolitical conflict as a theater of perception rather than a negotiation of interests. By initiating provocations to induce ceasefire violations, Trump then immediately frames the inevitable response as "aggression." Forcing a binary choice onto a public with a limited attention span.

The media cycle, in thrall with the Trump reality, hides the "who started this" reality, allowing Trumps loyal base of cretins to claim moral high ground.  Fear and profit working together makes established media compliant.  They kiss Trump ass.

The Trump art of the deal is nothing more than "gaslighting" refined to an art form. Shifting between being combatant and peacemaker, Trump creates a disorienting environment where the truth is obscured by the sheer rapidity of events Trump now forces on us.


Trump nods out, but he still keeps his crazy horses running.  Trump can't let them stop or his haters catch up.  There is no rest for the wicked.
