    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Unlawful arrest and detention

Nothing worse than having your fate decided by a low wage social worker.

So the choice was either "voluntary admission" or "involuntary admission"?

Gee, that's special......
 
Well, looks like we have at least ONE honest judge in VA. Too bad they can't ALL uphold their oath of constitutionality.

I'm just glad he can be back with his family. Having been in direct contact with his mom, I know she was really stressing over this the first couple days.

I think those are only options you have, lol.
 
There is a third option. We'll see how many are up to the task when the time comes. I'd rather die fighting for freedom then live as a slave.
 
This kid got caught by a peanut gallery. Once he was in a true court of law he was released. I'm sure there are a lot of lawyers willing to take on a lawsuit on contingency. One good financial hammering will make the peanut gallery toe the line.
 
Along the lines of the original topic, Brandon and the guard member that was snatched...turns out they're not the only ones. If you are a veteran, and believe in the constitution and are patriotic, you could be next. Vets have been disappearing all over the country. An interview with the attorney that handled the Raub case...

But I fear the problem may be greater than that. Call me a loon, but I fear WWIII is on the horizon. Don't mean to preach to anyone, but the book of Ezekiel describes to a T exactly what has been taking place in the sand box. Chapter 38 forward is what you'd look at. Understanding that GOG mentioned in this book is the ancient name of Russia and Persia is now called Iran. Earthquakes that all will feel, fire, brimstone...Sorta describes what nukes would bring to the world don't it. Russia has been stating a lot lately that they have new nukes, they warned the US not to get involved with Iran who also has nukes. We and the UK have nukes still as well. Every country over their wants Israel wiped out completely, and there we are right in the middle of it all. Read it..it's all eerily described in Ezekiel.

If you haven't started stock piling food, you better. Soon it will be a precious commodity. If you haven't made good with God, I'd advise you to do that as well if you believe in him.
 
I haven't commented on this post much but have been trying to follow to the best of my abilities. Brandon Raub was "arrested", "taken in to custody", or whatever you would like to call being "held" against your will & it was done for exercising his first amendment rights. These actions were done without warrant, considering no charges for a crime have been filed or will be. I'm confident he has a case for having his rights violated & being wrongful detained. I truly hope he persuades such if even only to make more in this country aware of our current situation & upcoming future, but doubt it will get the media attention needed. When & if option 3 does happen, don't look behind yourself to see who has your back, I'll be standing by your side.

"Some" of the concern is with the back door supporters from the US funding weapons and the like to those against Israel,there by connecting the US which puts it into "coming against the land".
The US will then be under the sword mentioned in verse 21,No?

I don't read that deep into it generally. I believe much is vague enough to be debatable & opinions/believes could be discuses from both sides forever with no honest winner. I personally hope the funding contributes of "Some" in the US would not be enough to consider us "those against Israel" because the verse following is easier translated & doesn't sound fun for those guilty of them actions.
 
Hmm, as for the big guys lobbing nuclear weapons around, all it takes is for ANYONE to suddenly decide that they are at the "lose it or lose it" point, and the game is over with. Hell, even a misidentified meteorite with an unfortunate trajectory could trigger the balloon going up.

Stocking up food? Why? Do you have a cave you can hole up in with enough completely isolated or filtered resources to live there for YEARS? Hell, it would be a fortunate kindness to have the first nuclear missile hit you right square on the head. The kind of future likely after something like that is really not anything attractive, much less survivable, to most people.
 
The food stores are for the havoc that will ensue BEFORE it reaches that state. There are already shortages of many things at this stage. Certain meds for one. Both military and civilian medics have started using morphine again due to lack of the alternative. Just one example. When SHTF and people take to rioting, pilaging and such, that's what the food stores are for. Not to mention ammo for when the thugs come to take what they think they deserve to have.

Better to be prepared then unprepared. Just saying.

I know a world war was mentioned but I took the idea of stocking up on food as reference to a different kind of war. Hate to admit it but I may be labeled as "thug" when that time comes. The truth is I don't want to watching my family die hungry, I'm not going to starve, & ammo takes up less space then food if you get my meaning.

Regardless of anything else if you believe something is going to happen and all you are doing is stocking up on ammo and nothing else you are going to be in for a rude awakening. There are a lot of people prepping with both because they know there will be people like you.

I love my family too and I wouldn't let them suffer but I will not cause suffering onto others that do me no harm. I would eat every snake I have and make a meal out of a ant mound first. People like what you stated you would do, I would have no trouble dropping like flies.

If there ever was a world without rule of law there is enough like-minded people like myself that I would hope people like you would be put down quickly. :thumbsup:
 
I am really shocked that there are those who would plan to kill as an alternative to planning and saving now :(
 
Seems like a simple enough solution. Plan on killing any trespassers, and then eating them. They will probably taste like chicken with the right seasoning....... :hehe:

So stock up on bullets and LOTS of seasoning.
