Wyoming Preparing For Disaster

 

Wyoming Preparing for Disaster; Washington DC Making One by Mark over at Mark America

 

Leave it to the good people of Wyoming to bring enough pressure to bear on their politicians that they have now actually begun to prepare for the worst crises that could arise, as they consider the condition of the Federal government, its debt, and the potential for civil unrest. They’re even considering what to do about their armed forces should the worst occur, and this landlocked state is now considering how they would acquire an aircraft carrier. That may seem just a little hard to swallow for some, but I think it speaks to the willingness of their legislature to prepare for the worst. I believe the measures are prudent, and if only we could get the politicians in Washington DC to see it their way, there might well be a chance we’d avoid at least any “man-caused disasters.” The sneering elites in Washington think this is high comedy, but for down-to-Earth Americans, not only in Wyoming, but elsewhere across the expanses of “fly-over country,” there is a keen awareness of how much trouble we’re facing.

 

In Washington DC, they have your money upon which to rely in order to continue their spending habits. Out in Wyoming and around the country, state and local governments have seen a general reduction in revenues. Property values are down, so property tax receipts are also reduced, and with so many homes in foreclosure, there’s been a corresponding rise in delinquency on property taxes owed. In Washington DC, they just print up another batch, and they don’t have to worry about the cash because they can always raise taxes, or borrow more. This is at the heart of the disconnect between the permanent ruling class in Washington DC that sees no emergency looming, but instead suspects it can make due on your back indefinitely.

A Mercenary Challenges Incumbent Republican Senator John Barrasso For His Party’s Nomination

 

According to The Daily Caller:

 

Thomas Bleming fought as a mercenary for decades against authoritarian governments, from the jungles of Myanmar and Panama to the shrubland of Zimbabwe. He has now set his sights on a target closer to home: a U.S. Senate seat. And not everyone is happy about it.

 

Bleming lives on a ranch in an eastern Wyoming town of 900, and he’s challenging incumbent Republican Sen. John Barrasso for his party’s nomination. He considers Barrasso a “corporate puppet” who has abetted the demise of constitutional freedoms.

 

Bleming’s campaign is about “complete freedom,” he told The Daily Caller. His campaign platform is a blend of libertarian and anti-corporate positions.

 

Since indicating his intention to challenge Barrasso this summer, he says that he has received death threats.

 

“I was involved in a dozen revolutions and a dozen wars overseas. I had a lot of unofficial sponsorship, you may say,” he noted. “There are things that go on in the world every day that they really don’t want people knowing about.”
