First, Happy Easter to you all!
I was on Zero Hedge and this article by Substacker Donald Jeffries hit on multiple levels. (Zero Hedge putting that AI to work!)
From Donald Jefferies Substack:
What is odd here is that I haven’t heard of any cases of actual homeless Americans squatting in someone’s property, and the law basically giving it to them. Maybe it has happened. I’m certainly no expert on squatting. The whole concept baffles me as much as all the sudden deaths baffle doctors and scientists. And why isn’t the Left up in arms about all this? After all, isn’t every legal occupant of a property “indigenous?” The Left pays a lot of lip service to indigenous people. I guess there are no such things as indigenous homeowners. I don’t know how the law reacts to those without shelter staying in one of the many abandoned buildings littering the landscape of America 2.0, but my guess is they probably treat them less gently than they treat squatters who just take over someone’s home.
My Zero Hedge response:
I am homeless and have been so for many months now. (Aug 23)

Essentially, the weight and condition of what we are up against (and knowing any job in corporate America is for Blackrock, Vanguard & State St), I made this decision long before I lost my apartment of 8 years.
Since 2020, I have made it a choice to fight in the information wars. But, of course, I'm no one. But I managed a few nibbles regarding my work from people ranging from Naomi Wolf, Garrett Zeigler, and Seamus Bruner (is the latest).

I shared many of these insights here. Of course, Hedgers are a wild bunch.
From October 23 to early January 24, I squatted in a small room inside the Stewart Center at Purdue University. I graduated from Purdue in 1996 - with hair, and an industrial engineering degree and a penchant for alcohol. [ My two arrests in 1996: Public Intoxication, and Misdemeanor Battery, after a guy called my mom a bitch at a bar. Bulls playing Sonics in the NBA championship.]
I joined the U.S. Navy officially in March 1998..... In March 1999, I attempted suicide via alcohol and pills. It wasn't the service...it was the boredom (I was put on hold for months for C school - FC rating. I even took the OAR - officer's test - and scored well, only to be nixed by command change.)
I went sober for 18 months thereafter. And got involved with a woman...that I later went to prison for in 2002: stalking via internet. (No I don't want your pity or sympathy or critiques either. I did hard time for a non-violent offense (think about those J6ers); and well, I understand the "system" a lot better than I once did. No women since. I was MGTOW before that acronym was even a thing.)
I delivered papers for 6.5 years driving nearly undrivable vehicles, all the way through the GFC. Lost my mom to cancer at 59, a US Marine vet, all 4' 11-1/2" of her.
My time as a squatter was abruptly ended at around 5AM when a LGBT custodian found me finally in a conveniently unlocked room (8'x10', about the size of a prison cell) while I was sleeping. I had created a nice little setup - no one obviously knew I was parking there.
I stayed there over the holidays - Thanksgiving & Christmas - while everyone else was celebrating. (My immediate family is all departed. Only child. Never was considered significant other material...)
I stayed inside the Stewart Center even as it was closed for a couple of days.... twice. I didn't wreck the joint. I didn't make messes. I actually understand plenty now why people don't want vagrants around their businesses.
I keep clean. I don't have many clothes, but I make do.
I kept 2 laptops, to stay abreast of things and working on a 4-volume of this time frame: Operation Virus: The Delivering of COVID, Chaos and Communism to the United States and the World.
[Added: Volume 1, April 12, 2024….I have delayed this multiple times…with my unstable living arrangements, it sometimes hard to complete. Chapter 1 sample.]
I am rewriting what I have done before:
I have written more articles and books in the past 4 plus years than 98-99% of these publishing peeps. I am not a good writer or editor. But I am learning.

https://www.amazon.com/stores/JASON-POWERS/author/B0813VPQHM -- I even have a two volume on the history of baseball (2014 was a different time) here.
Point is: we can only do so much. I can blame plenty on my past. I made many mistakes, mental and emotional ones. I also had many things done that set me about onto that course...
But the 2010s: I rectified a lot of those situations. I made peace with them.
Then COVID happen, and I knew we were AT WAR.
And I saw people with much more than I ever had or ever will, shrink [from] battle. Cower in fear. Shame me for noticing the issues.
I don't think I made the wrong choices. I didn't get vaccinated. I didn't play the mask games. I made do with whatever I had - for 3 years plus. Many have died not even knowing they were at war, and a casualty of the psychopaths in charge.
God Bless You even if you don't believe.
Because ahead: we had best find a way to unite again, or we have failed the generations of people that fought just so you didn't have to as much.
It is our turn to fight with whatever means left at our disposal.
Jason, I stumbled upon your writings during the WuHu Flu. Thanks for sharing some of your bio today. I always maintain that everybody has a story.
Jason, I was really moved by your story. I also appreciate the shout out. I have done shows on how America 2.0 isn't working at all for at least half the population. I'd love to have you come on my podcast sometime, either alone or as part of a panel discussion. Direct message me on Substack if you're interested. Thanks.
