How At Risk is the US & Our Infrastructure – Epi-3468

The huge over night news is a container ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. It is likely the case that some of the special children are cheering this as Key was a “colonizer” and should have his bridge torn down. These special children will soon find that that bridge is an important thing if you live on the east coast and want your chocolate, coffee and avocado toast ever day.
Of course the loons on the right are already telling you they “know” it was an “inside job” or a “false flag” or whatever. Look, I have no idea if it was a true accident or not. I will say this, unless the crew of this ship had a death wish, it isn’t likely. They did all survive but there was no guarantee of that.
Here is the bigger thing though, what does this say about how weak the US is? Sure we have the most bad ass military weapons systems and honestly we do. No military can stand toe to toe with out carriers, jets, ADA systems, etc. But what about our “soft underbelly”?

Calm down my autistic shrieking Alex Jones worshiping friends. My point is it DOES NOT MATTER WHO it only matters that it can be done so easily. Right now 10s of thousands of “refugees” are pouring into our nation across an open border. And I don’t care if 98% really are (they are not) refugees who mean well and just want a better life. 2% of over 8 million now are a LOT of bad people. We have “refugees” coming into the US from Mexico that are from China, Central Africa and the Middle East. How the f–k does that work? It don’t vet out and if you think it does I doubt you listen to this show anyway.
What could just 100 operatives due to grind life to a halt in much of the US? How about 1000? Where are we most vulnerable? Sadly the answer is everywhere. And no one is doing anything to mitigate the risk. And let me be clear, even if no threat exists, the open weaknesses are still a problem. Because sooner or later threats always exist. In the end this is what an empire at peak fiat just prior to collapse looks like.
Join Me Today to Discuss….
- A 1200 foot span and 8600 total length bridge just collapse due to a collision
- How many bridges could be taken out this way, how many more far more easily
- How easy is it to start riots in this country at this point, BLM is but one example
- How vulnerable are we to fires from arson from a determined force
- How easy is it to cause wide spread electrical failures
- How many ways can our food supply be disrupted, for homesteaders your livestock feed too
- Our ag system if left alone is already on the verge of ecosystem collapse
- How weak is our banking and finance system at the moment
- How much damage could be done with cyber attacks & for the love of God it doesn’t matter who does it
- How many soft targets are there for armed teams, bombers, etc to attack
- The response to this by the state is always to take away our liberty to “protect us”
- And as a people and nation we are the least united in our history, we turn on each other in seconds
- I do believe this is all by design more than incompetence but that does not matter
- On top of it all, how long does it take for us to rebuild anything at this point
- And finally, even if no one attacks us, our infrastructure is falling apart anyway – link
- What do we need to do about this
- There is no political will to fix this, it won’t happen, step one, accept it
- As always you must prepare to do without systems of support, this is just another why
- Get the hell away from flash point cities and out of solid blue states if you can
- Have back up power for at least a few weeks time
- Have a means of defense and have a network you can trust around you, know your effing neighbors
- Grow your own food and have a means to see to your own fertility
- Protect your wealth, BTC, silver, gold, tools, knowledge, etc.
- In the end, you are living at the end of an empire, why it falls is not as important as the fact that it is falling apart

A big hurdle in rebuilding the Key bridge will be finding enough minority owned companies that can actually do the technical work. The I-5 stretch that collapsed in San Francisco in 1989 took five years to build, because every contractor either had to be owned by a minority, or used contractor companies that were politically acceptable. After the collapse, a call was out out to drop the minority guidelines and just get the job done. They did get dropped, and the double deck highway was replaced in around eight months if I remember correctly. Not sure where you are going to find an bridge engineering company owned by a trans Inuit handi capable furry in a wheelchair, but hey, thems the rules..
There is some positives out there. I live in Nebraska,and in 2019 we had record flooding that took out a power dam and around 75 bridges. Nebraska got the shit rebuilt in about a year. The power dam is still in pieces, but it was ready to be shut down anyway. Nebraska hires contractors who will get shit done.
I came across this interesting article a day after this podcast. It considers risk management questions regarding the container ship collision and Key bridge collapse. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/03/baltimore-bridge-crash-risk-management-questions.html
Jack,
I think the 70’s is too late for you to go back to. I was born in 57 and plan (not guaranteed) to live to at least 2047. I’m very much concerned not about me, but of my daughters. I think the 30’s is the best time to go back to. You have all the benefits of America from after the depression, WWII and on, dyeing about now, so you’d never have to see the collapse.
Yea but the full on racism was there. What I saw in the 70s was enough for me. And then you got WWII and having your body blown to hell because of war we set into motion in the teens. I am not sure better is really a thing. All times have their good and bad.
I think a quote from The Sun Also Rises illustrates what Jack mentioned several times during the podcast. “I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what it was all about”.
Long time listener and TSP member, first time commenting. Great show Jack you brought a tear to my eyes talking about America today. My grandfather volunteered to served in the Navy durning WWII as a black man in America and was very proud of serving which caused my two uncles to volunteer for the US Marines. I also served in the US Army after seeing how proud my grandfather was to serve even though he was assigned to being. Cook. But now days I don’t see the pride or honor of serving for the younger generation any more which is very sad to see. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you!
