More dead fish

A Doom and Reprisal editorial from Ale 81 field correspondent, Ford Wenty On the same day that Fred Willard passed on from this realm another Fred also departed. He was none other than Fred the betta, a small, blue fish. While Mr. Willard was...

The Barber of Owosso: A tragic opera in one act

Scene: The Reichspalatz, 12:15AM, 5 May 2020 Reichsfuehrer Gretchen Goering-Hitler had just finished a luxurious bath in mare’s milk; with just a touch of blood from the latest herd of Guatemalan immigrant children. She had discovered that the...

Pandemic or Plandemic?

Well that is a bit of a provocative title, isn’t it?  I’m guessing that this is not the first time for many of you to have heard this topic framed in such a fashion.  I have stated previously in this forum that I do not subscribe to the...

Of dead sharks and divorce

Earlier this week I happened to catch a bit of an interview with Dennis Miller. I have always enjoyed hearing Miller’s take on things: his well tempered cynicism, wrapped inside of clever humor, is good medicine in even the best of times. This...

The single most despicable human being on the planet this week

Another post from our friend Tom Darby at the Ale81Inn! This week's winner stormed into the game late and bested some of our perennial contenders.  In a field including Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Todd and CNN's Brain Seltzer, our winner this week...

Why do you Need at Least Two Dogs on the Homestead

Why You Need at Least Two Dogs I am one of those people that love both dogs and cats, but in the world of Off The Grid, cats are great for keeping down mice, most snakes and other vermin off the property … though not very beneficial for the...

Natural Defensive Measures for the Homestead

Homestead Security is an area of concern wherein a great many homesteaders do not pay enough attention. If the homesteader is not living on their homestead all the time, it may be especially prone to the intrusion by vermin of both the two legged...

Bugout Bag Buggery – Myth Busted

“I’m not afraid or intimidated! I have a phone … and a pen … and I am not afraid to use them!” That is of course, paraphrasing (also missing a whole lot of “Uhs” and “I” in his normal speeches) one of our past benevolent and dear leaders. On the...

Overfeeding Local Wildlife and Legal Technicalities

By far the most beautiful location off the grid that I have ever had the privilege of working with, was what can only be described as a natural “Arena” or horseshoe shaped property. A side road ran along the front of the property and there was a...

Throwing Knives and Axes in Real World Scenarios

We have all seen the Hollyweird version of this tale where the good guy flings a blade at the bad guy, often, in an almost casual fashion … and inevitably, the blade will cut right through thick clothing and even bone and find its way to an organ...

Watering the Homestead

There are numerous options for getting water to the house, even for a homestead completely off the grid. Among these, the most common are generally water wells, though sometimes water towers or retaining ponds may be in order. For some other...

Top Three Natural Methods for Waterproofing Boots, Leather and Clothes

  If you are building a homestead, it is virtually inevitable that you are going to find yourself out in the weather on more than just a few occasions. As such, and even more so in colder climates, it is equally imperative that not only your...

Word of the Day – Attorney

Booby Traps, Boobies and Signage

A half-dressed rehearsal

Mystery and Misgivings about the Massive Migrant Marches

Five Ways to Power the Homestead (Almost) for Free

Orthodoxy, Ideology, Social Fabric, Sanity and Division

When I was a kid, we had a saying, though in all honesty, I suppose it was as much of a taunt as a saying … it went like this; “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me!” In short, it meant that if the best argument you...

What Are Natural Law, Common Law and Corporate Law

This article is not meant to be a comprehensive break down of the law or the many perversions of the law, but rather a look at just how convoluted the law has become. Despite what many people may believe, the laws of this land are arbitrarily...

Best Kept Secrets for Cold Weather Survival

A broken down vehicle, a long hike with the proverbial “left turn at Albuquerque”, an unexpected blizzard, an avalanche, or a hundred other possible scenarios could leave the homesteader with an inherent need to spend the night or even days or...

Endangered Species Act - Endangering Private Landowners Since 1973

The Joy of Blackpowder Firearms

Blackpowder firearms are loved by many collectors and history enthusiasts alike, but they are often shunned by some Homesteaders. Truth be told, they are an entirely different realm of firearms and mastery will take some time and practice. However,...

Foreign Concepts on the Homestead

As a child, the author had the opportunity to meet a great many people from all over the world. Fascinated with the stories, it was perhaps only natural that global travels would occur as the opportunities were made available. What was not really...

Did You Ever Miss Your Television

When I was a small kid, we never had a television set. I am guessing, looking back, that this was probably a good thing as we had to go outside, use our imaginations and make up our own entertainment as we went along. We had plenty of music to help...

Skinning Knives for Rambo and the Real Man

I have a personal affinity for blades. Everything from swords, to the B’atleth to a wide selection of varied and, what I think to be “nice” knives have a place in my collections. Virtually every blade has a purpose, though those purposes may be...

JB Weld and the Fifty Caliber Pistol – The Dad Chronicles

The Importance of Grafting

Long Term Food Storage on the Homestead

For most Homesteaders, it is going to be preferable to store large volumes of food on the homestead, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) notwithstandingi. For many homesteaders, much of the food storage on the homestead will be fruits,...

The Junkyard Principle

My father lived by what he called “The Junkyard Principle” meaning not that he wanted to live in a junkyard, but that virtually everything that people tossed out so readily, had some merit and certain pieces and parts that were deemed by him to be...

Common Traits of Homesteaders

It is far too common an occurrence in the world today, for people to automatically categorize, label and divide each other, than it is to search out common ground and open a meaningful dialog. We called it “Discussin’ without the cussin’” when I...

Final Play of the Political Game

Any resemblance to any location real or imaginary is strictly coincidental in nature … because this is all just crazy conspiracy theories and nothing like this could ever happen in any land of free and brave people … right? Armageddon,...

An Expansion of the Electoral College

The Electoral College was put into place, not in order to “protect our democracy” but to prevent our nation from ever actually becoming a democracy, or even being run as a democracy. Democracy is inherently evil. There is an old adage that still...

Anarchy, Pseudo-Anarchists and Federalized Government

In the vocabulary of today, I would perhaps be best described as a social libertarian and a fiscal conservative. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when I would have been called a classical liberal had I been living within the independent...

How to Restore the Republic

Enter the Police State

The government is definitely smart enough to know that they cannot just come in and declare themselves to be in absolute and complete power. The nation would rapidly devolve into a revolutionary state. Likewise, bringing in foreign troops to...

The Left and Right Political Paradigm and Circular Logic

For those that believe and put faith in the Legal Fiction we know as the “State”, there is often a great deal of confusion regarding the whole “Left/Right Paradigm” and which ideologies are on the left and which are on the right. Many of these same...

Crazy Coots, Homeless Vets and Homestead Security

There is never any such creation as “the perfect defense” for a house, a business or any other structure, and certainly not for an entire isolated homestead completely off the grid. Such a concept as a “perfect defense” is in every sense of the...

An Introduction to Andy B

If there was ever a man who fit the bill of both the proverbial and literal meanings for “Old School” it was Andy B. I have recounted this moment in other works of writing, but it still serves as a poignant example of just how “old school” Andy B....

Top Benefits of Bees and Beekeeping

Faraday Cages and the Paranoid Prepper

The Communal Socialist Invasion of Texas

To look at the title, one may presume that this is little more than yet another rant about the current socialist push by the Statist left, but such is hardly the case. In fact, this is a historical account, easily verified … and strong standing for...

In The Dead of Winter

It is funny how karma sometimes comes around to bite us when we are in the wrong … or even just too judgmental for our own good. As much as I hate to admit it, there are times when I have been judgmental, and it seems that virtually every time,...

The Albino Buck

Every once in a while, nature shows off some extremely amazing sites, and rarer still, will share those amazing acts with a few select humans … generally those that have gone out of their way to escape the rat race and who spend enough time out in...

Inexpensive Power Off the Grid

Back, a long place ago in a time far away, when I was just beginning to look at moving off the grid, and my home away from home was scarcely more than a blank spot of desert land, I shunned AC power and my generator whenever possible. Not only was...

My Uncle and the Electric Bathroom Fart Sucker

More About Corporate Personhood

The Drunken Bull Ride

Idiosyncrasies, Statistical Anomalies and the Social Fabric

Society is by definition, a social grouping. When there is more division than unity, society inevitably crumbles. Thus, some groups will call for division along racial lines, be they right or wrong. Furthermore, others … and by far, a much more...

Asinine Academia

Government Disinformation Campaigns

Invisibility for the Subtle Homesteader

American Military Myth and Constitutional Oaths

What Is Government and Its Purpose

Government should be relatively easy to define … but is it? Why do we need government? These days, government is effectively little more than the ruling class, creating seemingly arbitrary laws and regulations, and pawning off its responsibility to...

Lessons Learned From Trump

The Mythical Mexican Aztlan and Diplomatic Reciprocity

A Four Letter Word That Starts With F

Brazil Revisited

Raising Food Off the Grid

Hell's Chronicles: Suicide Cult of the Undead

Rise of the Bootysnatcher

Financing Corporate Investments with Philanthropic Funding

Common Ground for a Common Cause

Housing and Structures in Systemically Sustainable Development

Rehabilitation in Systemically Sustainable Developments

The idea of stopping crime before it occurs is the theme of many dystopian novels. One thing that is often overlooked however, is the ability to provide solutions before there is a societal manifestation of the problem. In short, people who are...

Housing in Whole System Sustainable Community Developments

Basic Housing is not a public utility but will be provided to all of the citizens within the community developments that are members of the voluntary association. However, the basic housing will be safe, secure and integrated into the community so...

Public Transportation in Systemically Sustainable Development

Public Transportation, while not technically a utility, is another program that is already heavily subsidized through government programs and taxpayer funding around the globe. Like so many typical taxpayer funded and government operated programs...

Internet Access in Sustainable Community Developments

Internet Access is another utility that seems to cause some to question the cost vs the benefit but again, such a system that was provided to the people and to the businesses within the community at no cost, would also create numerous benefits for...

Waste Management in Sustainable Developments

Another vital utility is waste management. Waste re-utilizationi is a key component when it comes to issues of sustainability. However, more traditional recycling methods often create more pollution and more cost to the consumer than creating the...

Energy and Public Utilities in Systemically Sustainable Community Developments

The current “grid systemi” is, on the best of days, a broken system that is extremely vulnerable to failure and even attacks. Expanding a broken system and one that has proven virtually impossible to protect and defend seems almost like the...

PUBLIC SERVICES in Systemically Sustainable Developments

The proverbial lines between the Public and Private Sectors can get blurred in some cases within the Integrated and Adaptive Community Developments. Government is by all accounts, a necessary function, especially in any densely populated urban...

Feeding Programs in Systemically Sustainable Community Developments

Historically, there has always been at least some social stigma attached to the utilization of free feeding programs. People do not tend to join the soup lines for the great company, or sit down to free school lunches or even participate in social...

Foundation Subsidies in Systemically Sustainable Community Developments

In some cases such as public utilities, the subsidies will never be directly seen as a rule by the general public. In the case of electrical energy for example, until such a time that Point of Use Electrical Power Generation is the new standard,...

The Technological Revolution and Sustainable Developments

One of the many harsh realities of the world that we all live in today is that the “technological automation revolution”i is already here and can already replace a great many jobs traditionally held by humans. Software programs are available that...

Franchise Opportunities In Sustainable Community Developments

It is difficult to imagine that there will not be at least some demand for commercial franchise interests within the Community Developments. Whether it is a 7-11 convenience store or a fast food restaurant, it is certainly inevitable that such...

Income Distribution and Corporate Wealth Management in Sustainable Development

The Corporate Structure inside the community developments will be decidedly different than the current, for-profit corporate structurei, though efforts will still be made to maintain a positive flow of proceeds from the corporate entities....

Proposed Corporate Entities in Sustainable Community Developments

Social Assistance and Stigmatization

The Dependency Class in Sustainable Development

Eventually, as the Community Developments are fully adapted to the needs of the local community, there should not be much of any... if any at all of the underclass citizens remainingi. Great care must be taken however, to avoid any potential for...

Corporate Ownership and CSR in Systemically Sustainable Developments

“Corporate Social Responsibility”i is another “catch-phrase” that has been created, or at least utilized, seemingly to inspire guilt among those who are successful and whose innovation tends to benefit them the most financially. The corporate...

Corporate Social Responsibility in Sustainable Development

Corporate Social Responsibility has become a very nice way of demanding more from the producers to give to those that do not, cannot or will not produce, all in the name of some distorted sense of social justice. How many individuals leave their...

Systemic or Whole System Sustainability

The ultimate goal of any system should be full system sustainability in every aspect of that system. This should hold true no matter how simple or how complex that system may be. For any system to be truly sustainable, it has to be fluid and...

Natural Resources in Sustainable Community Developments

One of the many focuses of the Integrated and Adaptive Community Developments is the provision of housing for virtually all of the homeless and indigent people of the world. There have been more than a few highly... motivated... for lack of a...

Unintended Consequences and Environmental Issues

There is no intention here to belittle the efforts of anyone seeking to pursue environmental interests or concerns. This section is merely intended to point out the unforeseen or unintended consequences when environmental programs are not properly...

Environmental Sustainability in Systemically Sustainable Developments

For whatever reason, some people seem to have a difficult time differentiating between environments and ecosystems. Environmentsi generally refer to larger areas and a particular type of climate. For example, the Integrated and Adaptive Community...

Social Sustainability and Human Development

Social Sustainability is perhaps one of the least well-known aspects with regards to issues of Sustainability but perhaps the most important one for the human race as a whole. As with any area of sustainability, any approach that is going to be...

Economic Sustainability in Community Developments

SYSTEMIC SUSTAINABILITY

The term “Sustainability” has been tossed about for many years but defining exactly what it is, despite the apparent obviousness of the term, seems to be a bit more challengingi. Sustainability needs to be considered in at least three primary...

Systemic Governance and Accountability

The role of any government should be the support and protection of all citizens equally, effectively ensuring their social and economic freedom … be it to succeed or fail in those areas as well. Justice must indeed be kept blind if it is to be...

Systemic Solutions for Sustainable Development

The adaptive and integrated solutions are a large part of the overall, systemic solution for the design and implementation of the community developments but they do not wholly define or quantify the complete nature of the systemic approach. The...

Adaptive Solutions for Sustainable Development

Integrated Solutions for Sustainable Development

Integrated, Adaptive and Systemic Solutions

While both the Integrated and the Adaptive nature of the community developments are unique and separate, both are dependent upon the other to the extent that they merit being included here together. The Integrated approach is necessary most notably...

The Citizenry, Services & Personal Responsibility

If everything is just given away freely to the citizenry, not only is there no motivation to succeed, much less excel, but neither is there any tangible value to anything resulting in everything being effectively worthless, including life itself....

Tier Three - Philanthropic Organization

How is it possible to pay for all of the services that are granted to us by our dear leaders and our illustrious representatives in government? (Is the sarcasm literally dripping from that statement?) By and large, the basic principle has been to...

Tier Three - Commercial Holdings and Corporations

Like the principles of incorporation, corporate affairs … at least insofar as how they are operated, do not change much in regards to the community developments. The corporations will be funded and constructed by the foundation. As such, it is only...

Tier Two – Parent Incorporation

This entity will likely be from the direct growth and expansion of the original incorporated entity. The standard principles of incorporation are fairly well known and do not change any at all within the incorporated structure of the community...

Tier Two – Private Hedge Fund

Directly under the foundation will be two secondary organizational bodies or subsidiaries … for lack of a better term. On one side will be a Private Hedge Fund and on the other, the Parent Incorporation. Ultimately, both of these entities should be...

The Philippine Government Model

The Philippine Government is not uniquely structured on a global level, but it is when compared with the more traditional governments of industrialized nations. The Philippine government has government offices at the equivalent of the neighborhood...

Why a Faith Based Organization

The idea of having a Faith Based Organization or FBO has bothered some of the original and founding members of the associated foundations. However, it should be noted that there are very real and tangible benefits to operating the parent foundation...

Tier One - Foundation

The primary tier will be the foundation. It is the foundation that will own the land and the corporate entities conducting operations within the community developments. Furthermore, the foundation will ultimately own both the corporate entities in...

The Original Incorporated Structure – Under Construction

Community Land Trust Model Community Developments

In a Community Land Trust Community Development, the entire construct is owned by a Trust, generally formed as a Community Trust which performs many of the same functions, though the implementation may be different as are the ramifications. It is...

DEFINING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTS

The Importance of Ideological Differences

If there has been any real challenge, it has been discovering people of differing viewpoints who are still open and receptive to the differing opinions of others, even if those differing opinions are deduced from the same set of facts. Oddly … or...

Outside the Proverbial Box

Outside the Proverbial Box Over the course of the years of this ongoing work, we have been called virtually everything one can imagine … including derogatory terms that even elevate us to the status of human forms from time to time. (Yes that is a...

Current “Solutions” and “Thinking”

Ideally, the current situation in regards to the global poverty epidemic would be based solely on incompetence at the global level, though that hardly seems likely. Why should such a harsh judgment be perceived to be “ideal” in any way? Because the...

Project History of Whole System Sustainable Development

In the late nineteen eighties, the author began doing volunteer work to try to enhance his curricula vitae. It was not long however, before he noted that there was something seriously wrong with the current system in place. A certain “charity”i...
