Everything Go Boom???

The God-State Goes Underground

Take a good hard look at what’s going down today:

Trump has signed off on military attack plans targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities—like the Fordow enrichment plant—but he hasn’t issued the final order yet.

He’s delivered what he calls an “ultimate ultimatum” demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender—no nuclear deal, no compromise. But he’s delaying action to see if Tehran folds under pressure, which they probably won’t.

The military is on high readiness, and Trump has even weighed the use of the GBU-57 “bunker buster” bomb, the so-called MOAB — Mother of All Bombs, although some officials warn it might not fully destroy the intended targets.

Israel has already launched strikes on key Iranian sites, including Natanz and Arak, and Iran has responded with missiles and drones.

Trump started off supposedly favoring diplomacy, but as Israeli momentum grew, he quickly shifted into a more aggressive stance to polish his bully persona. He still claims he’s not looking for a fight—but he’s clearly primed for a glorious battle, just so long as he doesn’t have to show up for it himself.

Evacuations are underway in some areas, and U.S. forces are positioning themselves for rapid deployment — it looks pretty dismal.

So Trump hasn’t yet bombed Iran, but the machinery to carry out the mission is very much in motion, and unless something shifts, it could happen any moment now.

Fuel = Freight = Everything Goes Up
Gas prices would shoot up immediately. That ripples through the entire supply chain—trucks, ships, planes. Gas prices affect all other prices one way or another.
Expect higher prices on groceries, clothing, electronics, and even online orders. Anything that gets hauled will cost more. Delivery times will stretch. Same-day deliveries??? Not bloody likely.
Panic Buying
Like the early COVID days—people tend to stockpile essentials. Think toilet paper 2.0, plus batteries, canned goods, rice, propane, beans, anything not perishable.
Big box stores like Costco, Walmart? Shelves could empty again for a couple of weeks at least. Smaller mom-and-pop stores will surely not get resupplied quickly enough to stop the panic hoarding.
Imports Get Squeezed
If Hormuz is disrupted or global tension rises, shipping routes get rerouted or slowed. Imported goods—like fabrics, appliances, phones, and cosmetics—become delayed, scarce, or more expensive. Retailers might cancel new product lines or trim inventory to cut risk.
Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin Spike
Jewelry stores will struggle to restock, and prices for gold/silver coins, even costume stuff with metal, will jump. Retailers selling alternative asset items (survival gear, or crypto gift cards) might suddenly get very popular.
Consumer Confidence Drops
People spend less when they’re nervous. Big purchases—TVs, couches, vacations—get put off. That hurts the whole retail ecosystem, from department stores to Etsy crafters.
Online Ads & Retail Promotions Change Tone
You’ll see a hard pivot in ad campaigns—less “fun in the sun,” more “secure your future” and “essentials for uncertain times.”
Brands will quietly roll out survival-tinged bundles, emergency kits, and “buy now before prices go up” messaging.

Grocery Supply Chains

Staples Go First
Expect rice, beans, flour, sugar, salt, oil, canned veggies, peanut butter, and powdered milk to fly off shelves.
Store limits on quantities will return. Think “2 per customer” signs within 48 hours of the first strike.
Fresh Produce & Dairy
Shorter shelf life, more fragile trucking routes. No field workers to pick or harvest.
Dairy, eggs, lettuce, and berries vanish quickly, especially in rural areas or small towns.
Frozen & Prepackaged Foods
Frozen pizzas, TV dinners, and instant ramen will sell out faster than gourmet items.
People will want shelf-life and comfort food, not gourmet sauces.
Supply Lag
Distributors may delay or cancel orders due to fuel costs or labor shortages.
Even if food exists in warehouses, getting it on trucks is the choke point.

Luxury Goods

Immediate Drop in Sales
High-end jewelry, designer handbags, $800 sneakers—all take a hit.
Even people with lots of cash and high net worth will pull back when there’s a war on.
Boutiques May Not Survive
Smaller luxury retailers will pause new collections.
Some might shutter entirely if foot traffic tanks due to worries and continued threats of masked unknowns taking people off the street at random, and sales will drop as imports get tariffed to a total stall.
Shift to “Practical Luxury”
Gold watches might hold steady if seen as value assets, otherwise useless.
Luxury turns survival-themed—high-end backpacks, camp tools, military compasses, water containers, gas cans, other durables, little use for high fashion, except for lots of knockoff fakes sold as originals.

Dollar Stores and Discount Chains

Surge in Popularity
When prices rise everywhere else, the Dollar Tree looks like a hero.
They’ll see a run on basics: bleach, matches, canned chili, batteries, flashlights.
Limited Inventory Flexibility
They operate on thin margins—can’t absorb sudden supplier cost hikes easily.
Expect reduced variety, more “house brand” items, and smaller packages for the same price.
Dollar Store Becomes the General Store
In smaller towns, it may become the go-to stop for everything—medicine, food, tools, soap.
Watch for pop-up security measures if crowds get edgy.

Survival Side-Hustles

Here’s a rundown of side-hustles that could thrive if things pop off in the Middle East and waves of panic ripple through consumer life.

1. Local Delivery Runner
With supply chains shaky and gas pricey, local hand-delivery becomes gold.
Use a bike, scooter, or plain old feet—run groceries, meds, batteries to folks who don’t want to brave the chaos. Electric bike that recharges when pedaled will be gold.
Charge a fair premium. Cash preferred.

2. Essentials Reseller
Buy low, stock smart, split and resell essentials in small bundles:
toilet paper, rice, beans, lighters, batteries, soap.
Keep it neighborly—this isn’t price gouging, it’s convenience with a slight and fair margin.

3. Fix-It and Repair Services
Can you fix a toaster, sew a torn jacket, patch a tire, or rewire a lamp?
People will repair instead of replace when replacements are not on the shelf.
Bonus: offer tool rental (very risky) or quick tutorials for DIY.

4. Homemade Food Prep or Meal Kits
Offer hearty, cheap meals made with pantry staples: lentil stew, chili, cornbread.
Or prep dry food bundles with recipes.
Think survival food—but tasty, comforting, local.

5. Digital Copywriting / Panic-Proof Blogging
If you’re online, help small businesses update their messaging:
“Stay strong,” “local first,” “we’re still open.”
Also: run a Substack or blog on survival cooking, old-school skills, or psychic calm in turbulent times.

6. Sell Tradeables: Amulets, Jewelry, Gold Dust, Chocolate, Cigarettes
Items that hold emotional or trade value are in demand. Metaphysical tools, wearable tokens, mini survival kits, chocolate “wheels”—they protect, and offer some security unless you decide to visit an ICE detention center, a church, a playground, a bus stop, or a Department of Motor Vehicles building.

7. Mini Repair Clinics or Skill Swaps
Organize local bartering days or “fix-it clinics” at the community center.
Teach or trade skills like sharpening knives, basic first aid, or starting a fire with steel wool and a battery.
Becomes both a gig and a hub.

8. Off-Grid Tech Help
Set up solar chargers, radios, power banks, emergency phones.
Bonus if you can program or teach how to use old-school tools—shortwave, crank radios, or even walkie-talkies. If you use a radio, remember that nobody uses Morse Code anymore — you can send in the clear.

What You Can Do To Survive the Coming Crash:

1. Crystal Quantum Radios (CQRs) + Amulets
In a crisis, people crave meaning and protection. Our CQR amulets become spiritual PPE —PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment—in modern lingo, it’s masks, gloves, face shields, hazmat suits… anything you wear to protect yourself physically. Became a household phrase during the pandemic. Our CQR amulets are spiritual PPE, they’re psychic armor—a metaphysical hard hat. Keeps the vibes clean when the world’s full of psychic debris and panicked thought-forms.

Spiritual PPE: Wearable Protection for Hard Times.

Wearable, practical, emotionally grounding—perfect for barter, gifting, or modest sale.
You can also offer sacred rituals or guided SuperBeacon trips.

2. “Gold’s Nuggets” – Survival Chocolate
Chocolate nuggets as luxury + comfort + trade item.
Make it a troika offering: food, currency, and spiritual balm.
Add a small printed mantra or affirmation in each package—“Melt it slowly. Feel the calm.”

3. Past Life Readings & Ghost Unsticking
Hard times = more hauntings, anxiety, unprocessed trauma. If you’re a practiced remote reader and psychic, you can offer “spiritual diagnostics,” ghost dislodgement, or reincarnation pattern readings. Portable, powerful, non-digital. Can be done by letter, Zoom, or one-on-one in person.

4. Micro Teachings / Pocket Workshops
Sell or barter mini-lessons:

“How to Stay in the God State During Collapse”
“Cooking as Sacred Practice”
“Making Jewelry with Ancient & Modern Power Beads”
“3-Minute Meditation for When the Sirens Start”

Print them on postcards, PDFs, or laminate them like survival cards.

5. Jewelry and Charms – Handmade & Charged
Beautiful, metaphysically rich pieces will be wanted. Small, durable, easy to trade or wear.
Add a card that tells the story—“Made on the edge of the world, blessed by hand, tuned to resilience.”

6. Booklets and Cards – Knowledge as Trade
Print short runs of spiritual survival booklets:

“How to Find Peace When the Grid Is Down”
“The American Book of the Dead: Quick Guide”
“Mantras That Work in Emergencies”
“Don’t Panic: You’ve Been Here Before (And Survived)”

You can also produce card decks, like our 100-card soul sayings—perfect “currency of wisdom.”

7. SuperBeacon Practitioner Coaching (Quietly Active)
Even in chaos, people want growth—especially when death and fear are in the air.
Coach others to run quiet SuperBeacon sessions.
Could be a trusted-income stream inside your circle, with barter optional.

8. Remote Blessings / Ritual Envelopes
Offer a mailed envelope that contains a sigil, a small object, and a handwritten message or blessing.
One word: impact.
You know how to charge an object. It won’t be just paper—it’ll carry presence.

Goldback Exchange Rate — Goldback

Trading Goldbacks:

Goldbacks are a fractional, spendable gold currency—kind of like tiny, flexible banknotes, each infused with ultra-thin layers of .999 24‑karat gold inside a durable polymer. Denominations range from ½ to 100 Goldbacks (e.g., 1 Goldback = 1/1,000 oz of gold).

They’re privately issued, not legal tender per se—but thanks to state-specific laws in places like Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Florida, many small businesses voluntarily accept them as local currency.

Why use them?

They resist inflation. Goldbacks track the gold price and hold value better than fiat currency.
They’re practical for small transactions—no need to lug around bullion.
They’re beautifully designed, collectible, and embedded with anti-counterfeit features like serial numbers, UV ink, and intricate state-themed artwork.

Downsides?

Premiums can be high—up to 100% over spot gold price, depending on the dealer and quantity.
They’re only accepted in certain regions and aren’t widely adopted yet.
Larger denominations carry higher manufacturing premiums.

Some users say: “It’s real gold, not a certificate… you’re not supposed to stack them, you’re supposed to actually go out and try to spend them and get them into circulation.”

In chaotic times, Goldbacks could be useful as real tradeable value. You could buy them at a good price before a crisis, then barter or sell at a premium when people start seeking alternatives to cash. They’re also emotionally compelling—people trust shiny things that feel solid and contains actual high-grade gold.

If you want to use them in spiritual bundles—like pairing a Goldback with an amulet, mantra card, or chocolate wheel—I’d say you’re right on target.

Some Goldbacks are already collectible—certain state series fetch premiums beyond gold value. That makes them not just spendable, but storied.

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

How to Deal in Goldbacks as a side-hustle:

Spot value (June 17, 2025): A 1‑unit Goldback contains 0.001 oz of fine gold — worth about $3.37 based on today’s gold spot price. Typical retail price for 1‑unit: Usually between $6.50 – $7.00, depending on dealer and state series. On APMEX, it’s $6.97 each.

🎯 What to Pay Wholesale: Dealers generally price around retail minus 10–20%, so you’d be looking at $5.50 – $6.30 per 1‑unit Goldback. For larger packs (like 50 or 100 notes), the per-note price tends to drop closer to the $5.50–$6.00 range.

💰 Suggested Retail Pricing

If you buy at $5.80 wholesale:

Retail at $6.80 – $7.20 gives you about $1–$1.40 margin per note.
That’s a healthy ~20–25% markup, typical for boutique or spiritual micro-currency resale.

🔧 Tips to Maximize Profit

Buy packs (50–100 units) to secure the lower end of wholesale range.
Bundle them — combine a Goldback with an amulet, chocolate wheel, or mantra card to sell it at retail-plus rather than bare retail.
Limited editions or state-specific ones can command higher prices — especially if they’re collectible.

Bottom line: aim to buy around $5.50–$6.00 each, then sell at $7+, especially when you add that metaphysical flair.

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

Lost in the Woods?

So you’re out in the woods. You encounter some people who have food, water, and matches. You need those things. They’ve never heard of Goldbacks.

So here’s what you do:

Start by building rapport. Don’t flash the Goldback like a credit card. Ask for what you need honestly:
“I’ve been hiking a long stretch. Any chance you’ve got some water to spare?”

People lead with generosity if they don’t feel threatened or hustled. Don’t mention trade yet.

Next, observe their vibe. Are they skittish? Suspicious? Kind? Desperate? Your offer depends on their psychology, not your inventory.

Now, bring out the Goldback slowly and casually, like a curious object, not money.
“You ever seen one of these? It’s real 24-karat gold, embedded in this note. It’s used as currency in some places. This one’s worth about a small meal.”
Then shut up and let them hold it. The weight, the shine, the artwork—that’s what sells it.

If they still don’t get it, sweeten the deal. Pull out your chocolate drops and say:
“Here, I’ll throw these in too. Food for the soul. This one’s been blessed for safety.”
Now it’s a story, not just a trade. That hits differently.

Make them feel like they got the better deal. Say something like:
“I really appreciate it. You’re doing me a kindness. I hope this brings you luck when you need it.”

You’re not just bartering. You’re building memory, relationship, and myth.

And if they refuse the trade? Smile. Give the chocolate as a gift anyway. People remember that. Next time they see you, you won’t be a stranger—you’ll be the chocolate wanderer who didn’t try to hustle them.

The Goldback is a tool. But you are the currency. The rest is just packaging.

“Paper money is just paper. Goldbacks have real gold inside. One is pretend, one is real.”
