🎖️ Political and Military Coercion
Beyond economics, political and military pressure can be used to erode sovereignty.

Political Coercion and Interference: This can involve interfering in internal affairs under the guise of “promoting democracy,” supporting opposition parties, manipulating elections, or using cultural and ideological infiltration to shape a country’s politics .

Military Coercion: While not an outright invasion, a hegemonic power may use its military might to pressure other nations, which can include maintaining a vast network of military bases and using the threat of force .

🤝 The Role of “Allies” and the Loss of Autonomy
A key indicator of secret occupation is when a country, even a formal ally, loses its ability to act independently.

Allies as Instruments: In a system of “predatory hegemony,” allies are treated not as partners but as instruments for short-term advantage .

Loss of Strategic Autonomy: A country that is secretly occupied will show a lack of “strategic autonomy” . This means its policy decisions, especially in foreign affairs and economics, are noticeably aligned with the interests of the dominant power, even at the expense of its own people’s well-being .

In summary: To tell if a country is secretly occupied, look for signs of deep dependency. This often shows up as a nation that, despite having its own government, has clearly lost control over its economic policies, natural resources, and political direction. Its decisions consistently serve the interests of a more powerful state, leaving it a “subordinate state” with little to no real power to resist .

Times are scary

“This is what is coming to America, and it’s scaring people. The Affordability Crisis, and the battle to reclaim our lives for ourselves and challenge data centers and the surveillance state. We just want decent lives and stable jobs in a good economy.”

~ he talks about having a well, and those who live on a well pretty much having it easy. Not exactly his words, but basically those who live on wells don’t have the costs of those who live on city water. (He may have been using sarcasm, but I can’t tell.)

I’ll tell you right now having a well isn’t without issues. We’ve been in a drought for a while now. I might have to have my pump lowered. Which won’t be cheap. If I have to drill a new well it will cost me $12000 US.

We collect rain water in buckets…to water plants, fill the pool, flush the toilet if need be. I’d buy a rain barrel but I don’t want prying eyes noticing. There are ways around such issues, you just have to use some logic (and not tell everyone what you’re doing – which is why I stay mum on my personal prepping).

Everyone thinks it will be so much better if they could only get out into the country. It’s not as easy or as romantic as many people think.

I’m not saying this for pity, but just for awareness. The farther you move from the city, the more self-reliant you have to be. The way things are going, if I were to ever move away from here I wouldn’t want indoor plumbing, or electrical. Or as little as possible. An outhouse, wood stove, hand pump for water and a stream nearby is what I want as this point.

Maybe some plumbing so we can wash dishes and take a shower. One bathroom. One toilet. One sink.

You can heat water on a wood stove. You can pump water or collect it from a stream if you’re lucky to have one nearby. Which is what scares me the most right now. If we run out of water, we have nothing!

There was a time when houses were built near a water source. The farmhouse I grew up in had a hand drawn well (bucket), before indoor plumbing, and an outhouse. When my dad put a bathroom downstairs (the farmhouse only had one bathroom upstairs, in the master bedroom, when my parents moved in), he connected to the existing plumbing – no pipes running throughout the entire house.

The house I live in now, has pipes running pretty much through the entire house – and the septic line runs under the basement, under concrete, under my sons’ room. If anything were to happen between the toilets and the access pipe – we’re screwed! We’d have to bust through the concrete. And if a pipe bursts to the kitchen or washing machine! Water everywhere! Nightmare material!

So living on a well is nice, but it does come with a cost.

As of the 28 of July, we have gotten 24.1 inches of rain in Holly’s world, since I started keeping track in May.  According to drought.gov we are about 5 inches below normal, which puts us in a moderate drought.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
