FROM ONE SURVIVALIST TO ANOTHER:

CHOICES

 

FROM ONE SURVIVALIST TO ANOTHER:

By Franke Schein - November 25th, 2012

My Friends,

This may very well be one of the most prolific article that I have written thus far: It concerns the essence of survivalism itself; and I hope that I am able to present it in a manner reflective of my true inner thoughts. I also hope that you, as both the reader, and my friend; take this message to heart, and claim it as your own.

Throughout the past thirty years I have spent a great deal of time contemplating the intricacies concerning how I could prevail during natural, or man-made disaster (type) events. Using historical data as a matrix, reaction to the event by various governmental, and disaster relief agencies, as well as different and diverse indexes laboriously compiled, in conjunction with, and how they related to such an event; I am able to predict with certainty, how a single localized event could transform itself into an event that could, without much warning, metamorphose into a national, or global incident.

I’ve studied every natural disaster that has occurred, as well as man-made disasters, and strategized my own survival from a deeper perspective, in a manner that most (main stream) survivalists would consider unfathomable. Almost to the point of inner consumption.

The one unmitigated and irrefutable truth that I have encountered so far, are false assumptions held by many survivalists--an inherent tendency to minimize the evidentiary truths in itself. This is usually the prelude to failure, and the result if inadequate analysis of the problems; leading to an even more inadequate response on their part, as it relates to their own survival planning.

Many of you share my views, and ideas regarding the survival of earthquakes, civil unrest, and other assaults against our local infrastructure. I have tried to share my skills and knowledge in these areas with you. You have written me many messages, thanking me for what I have shown you through my various written post.

Yet, this moment, as I sit here surrounded by the last vestiges of 2012; I am reminded that we as survivalist must, as a course of our self-imposed lunacy, understand that there are other events which have proportional and significant hazards to our lives, and the lives of those that we hold dear to our hearts. That is after all; why we do the things that we do. ( Isn’t it…? )

My entire focus has been directed towards the sustainment of life during catastrophic events. No matter if the event was a localized, national, or a global event. I always have a Plan-B, as well as Plan-C, ready for whatever I was facing.

During the strategy phase of my planning, it became necessary for me to actually experience, insomuch as possible, the realities of whatever event, or crisis situation that I was involved in. Often times I would force myself to live off the land deep in the snow covered mountains of Wyoming and Alaska, or pugnaciously trudging through the scorching sands of Arizona’s arid deserts; relying on whatever survival gear rode inside of my backpack.

To say “Trial & Error” would be the understatement of my life. For during those times, I learned not only about the planning, and the gear; but I learned much about myself, my weaknesses, and my strengths.

As a consequence of that aloneness; I came to understand the delicate balance between Man and nature itself, and the fragility that we as humans share in the saga that is our lives. It was a profound moment, when I saw myself as part of a universal system, whose only perceived purpose is to work, buy, sell, build, manufacture, coexist, obey, and propagate the noise of labor from one generation into the next. It was an awakening, because as I saw my life thus far, I also saw the consequence of the impetus propelling me along the roadmap that I had been unknowingly following; with no perception that I was merely just another face in the crowd, another number in the register, and another product of societal consequence.

Then I saw, with much clarity, the forces that have propelled me forward, rendering me into the near-vegetate state of submissive servitude that I had become throughout my entire life—AND I rebelled, as is the natural instinct of someone with my personality.

I rebelled in such a manner, that at times the flood of indignation, and outright resentment became a daily diet which fed and fueled the inner fires burning deep inside of me. It required, and demanded of me to embrace a lifestyle which exists on the very peripheral fringes of society. A life of violent disquieted hatred for a system that shackles all of us with encumbrances that we can’t touch, see, feel, or even understand. But yet we know there is something amiss; something slowly creeping through the fog ahead of our lives.

Some have called that a self-destructive mechanism, while others have labeled it under the principle of “self-enlightenment”. --I digress; for it has never been my forte’ , or desire to follow the footsteps of Gandhi, or Buddha; but I took what I learned, and what I was offered by those experiences, and made it part of my persona. It was a mile-marker in my life that forced me to examine the foundations of that which I thought had been “stamped in stone”, and made solid in my Manhood.

That personification has been slowly, and rhythmically pressuring my inner-being to examine other aspects of my own life, and consequently, by proxy, your lives as well. I certainly can’t speak for you, but if you are at, or near my level of conjunctive frontal-lobe hemorrhages , then you, like myself, have been inundated with a superfluity of concerns, as well as an antithesis to what is going on around you at this very moment.

Many of you are adept, and likely very good at surviving what nature throws at you. I know this for a fact, because I have contacted many of you throughout the years. Some of you have more than adequate survival and sustainment skills, capable knowledge, and the uncanny understanding of what our future many hold during any given catastrophe. But, then again, given the nature of current global events unfolding right in front of our eyes and ears; it’s possible that some of you have overlooked the most obvious threat that we ALL will face in the coming months:

The Rising Global Hegemony secretively disassembling the foundations, and cornerstones, of what this country has produced-- irrespective of the steep cost paid for with American lives.

What I am talking about is in essence this:

That we have watched from the sidelines as a select group of elitists have bargained their way into the narrow halls of Executive Privilege and Power; inaugurating their long-awaited policies that disassembles that which has been paid for in American blood sacrifices beginning in 1776.

Since the early 1930’s; an alarming trend emergent within Judicial and Executive branches of the United States Government; feeds upon the frenzy that all survivalists, preppers, and political activists, are potential domestic terrorists that present this country with an imminent threat against national security. At least, that is the term that THEY have coined since the inception of the Patriot Act Regulations. A circuital anti-constitutional effort on their part, in the establishment of a New World Order where there are no national borders, no unemployment, minimum wage, and the abolishment of free thought, free enterprise, and free speech. A world that operates under THEIR strict criteria, guidance, and aspirations; where we as human beings are relegated to a mere productive labor force feeding THEIR needs. An ideology that is being played out in North Korea, Communist China and Communist Russia at this very moment.

In each of those despotic countries; the emerging powers have always played by the same rule book—without fail:

1) Seize control of the government. Either by force, or by fraudulent voting programs.

2) Coerce, force, or make disappear political enemies.

3) Institute a system of checks and balances that are slanted in the governments favor.

4) Begin a systematic reduction of civil liberties.

5) Seize control of the courts, banks, media, and manufacturing resources.

6) Disregard, and undermine the established constitution through small regulatory measures.

7) Militarize all the police forces in the country.

8) Convert all crimes into a National/Federal crime against the STATE.

9) Create a National Secret Police Organization that has no political oversight to any agency other than the dictatorial powers.

10) Identify, and monitor every citizen of the country through human intervention, as well as electronic measures.

11) Regulate, and then Restrict the private ownership of firearms.

12) Establish a National Healthcare Apparatus.

13) Establish a National Banking Apparatus.

14) Restrict movement of citizens between various locations, cities, and other areas, as well as establish strict criteria of fuel consumption and usage.

15) Separate, then remove religion from the State, or overhaul it to covertly serve the State.

16) Establish a National Labor Force which forces citizens to work for bare-bones wages, and provides an unreserved labor force to the State Industries.

17) Clamp Down hard on any public demonstrations that speak out against the system.

18) Redistribute the wealth; oppress the rich to the point that they flee, or come under control

19) Restructure the educational system to reflect the needs of the State; squash mathematics, literature, and other non-essential studies that are counter-productive to a working class society.

20) Create a “classless” society which forces equality upon the masses, while admonishing, or punishing those that resist the “class warfare:” struggle.

That is exactly what most of Europe has already become, This can be easily verified through many different internet sources. Australia, Great Brittan, Germany, and France, are prime examples of the first stage strangulation efforts underway by their respective governments.

Here in America we are seeing the rise of these indicators at every turn:

The Official Branches have tossed away the Bill Of Rights, and are actively investigating, tracking, and monitoring every outspoken critic of the government.

Every form of communication that we utilize is under government control.

Every purchase, every bank deposit, every bank withdrawal is conveyed to a central collection facility that stores your information. Likewise for credit, medical, criminal, and employment records.

Law enforcement agencies are using technologies that are both unconstitutional, and unethical in their overzealous ambition to further propagate the “Us Against Them” mentality, that we are all guilty under proven innocent. That we if disagree with them; we must therefore be guilty of something already.

Our children are being indoctrinated by a hardcore cadre of Marxist educators to become good recipients of the societal rewards offered by the State. They are being brainwashed to believe that their rights as children, supersede our rights as parents. Their education has been purposely reduced, so as to make them a generational bi-product of the global community that neither involves themselves, or cares about politics to the devastating point of apathy previously unheard of in America.

Teenage sexual experimentation has reached proportions which defies logic.

Teenage drug use is off-the-charts; more so than ever before in the history of America.

Teenage rebellion against established norms, and values, are creating difficulties in family groups at nearly every income levels.

Middle class children are running away from the comfort and security of their parents’ home, as well as from educational opportunity that their parents financial status could buy—All in the name of individualism to become part of the “ cool-in-the-groove” crowd; who consequently are unaware that they are part of the global sheep-herd being shepherded into a self-imposed corral.

In essence it boils down to: “Take what we offer, you deserve this—let US worry about the rest…”.

A paradoxical incongruity that can be seen in action during the “OCCUPY WALL STREET” movement. The foundation of which was laid by a socialist group of educators who openly disparage the doctrines of this country’s founding fathers; and whose ultimate goals are the disassociation of youth from the loving embrace of their parents—in order to instill and reinforce utopian ideologies that will never exist but upon the surface. For once an examination of this system is undertaken, it’s easily understood that” even though there is much” Glitz & Glimmer” in the display window, there is little inventory in the storeroom...”

Christianity in this country is slowly being eradicated in (sometimes) subtle forms. Forms such as the overabundance of sexual inferences watched by our children through commercials, video games, and television shows. Slowly proselytizing self-serving individuality traits which contradict the blood ties and roots of family values, moralities, and ethos which this country has arisen from.

This same self-serving State Apparatus denies religious rights in America, yet embraces the foundations of Islamic State-Religion—the converse of Christian beliefs. A system of religious governance that demands submission, and yet murders those who question its philosophies. The same system that condemns women into forced marriages, and sexual submission, in order to further sustain THAT system as a child-bearing apparatus with no free will, no choices, and absolutely no free speech.

I could continue with this, but most of you are aware of these events. So I will divest myself from this cerebral headache, and continue with the originality of what I came here to say to you…

We are facing some serious troubles ahead. Even more so than the 2012 Doomsday Prophecies. These, in aggregate, or in their own singularities; could very well be the sum of the whole. None could accurately predict these events with absoluteness. But, having said that, I will offer you this much:

That no matter what political belief, religious ideologies, or life choices you are involved in: The fundamental truth is that America, and the world is rapidly changing right in front of your eyes and ears. We are presently living in those times that we knew was coming, but were afraid to quantify inside of ourselves. Many deny that these events will occur. Others deny GOD, as well as any form of religion. They have already been tied to the system that will eventually eat them.

Public servants have been indoctrinated that “We The People” are the enemies of the State. That we are future anarchists; people that must be brought under control, imprisoned, and removed from their sight. Other officials are part of the system to further their own greedy agenda. They have sold out their eternal souls for a paycheck, a retirement fund, and a place in the New World Order, because they lost faith in GOD, and gave up their beliefs; bowing down to the Messiah of Deceit prevalent in their world—material comfort, stock options, and annual vacations.

In the coming months ahead you will be witness to several events, incidents, or Executive directives, which further promulgate the creation of what is Biblically referred to as “The End Times”. Of that, I am certain. My faith in GOD allows me to see a small convoluted glimpse into our futures. It’s frightening. But I am not afraid for myself. I have made peace with the understanding that we each must play a pivotal role in what is ahead. I do NOT hide myself, or try to remain anonymous in my convictions or beliefs. Whatever fate awaits me; I will not bend my knee in submission, nor restrain my eager passions therein. For that would relegate me to less than what I am.

My fright arises from the simple fact that even though many are cognizant of what lays ahead; their apathetic nature, or perhaps their inane fear of authority, will prevent them from acting when it becomes necessary. By that I mean not acting out morbid violent tendencies, but rather, the widespread civil disobedience to the first stage regulatory acts that must be a prelude to what will surely follow shortly thereafter.

I fully believe that in a short time, the first of these steps will be undertaken by the administration. It stands to reason, given the Dictatorial Steps that I have outlined above. The question remains then; how will you react when yet another Executive Directive removes yet another of your civil rights, stripping you--of yet another of your GOD given liberty..?

GOD gives you a choice, and free will to worship, or to not worship him. Yet the Government wants to dictate, and eventually remove all religious expression (except Islam) from the public sector of your life. You see my Friends, the Government doesn’t give you your liberty. GOD gives you liberty, and the ONLY way that it can be taken from you, is if you willingly, or unknowingly, allow somebody else to have it..

At the present rate of forward momentum; it appears that these sinister agendas are already being instituted in a somewhat covert manner, and not surprisingly, on those industries that are required to operate under professional licenses, and authority. To Wit; truckers, pilots, doctors, taxicab drivers, construction workers, healthcare workers, and any other profession where a State License requirement is currently in effect.

The Administration is going to re-write the United States Constitution. Resultant of that; will be the immediate demise of The Bill Of Rights.

a. The New Constitution would eradicate all forms of non-Islamic religion.

b. Dismantle the 2nd Amendment right to private firearms ownership.

c. Force every American to become part of the National Healthcare System.

d. Force everyone to accept micro-implant chip, as a consequence for health care, banking, credit, and proof of citizenship, as well as ability to travel inside the country.

e. Remove all Congressional Oversight in matters of healthcare, national security, and domestic policies; giving absolute control to the President.

f. Establish laws that will make it illegal to demonstrate against elected officials, on, or near, State Property.

g. Outlaw private citizen militia groups, political activists groups, and survival groups.

h. Create a chain of State Operated Manufacturing industries that employ Americans that are presently unemployed; all the while eradicating social aid to dependent families, the infirmed, and the retired senior citizens on social security retirement benefits.

It doesn’t matter if you believe in GOD, or have never stepped a foot inside of a church. It doesn’t matter what political party you call your own, or what the color of your skin is. What matters is that you, and I; are part of the process, part of the solutions that THEY have in store for us.

It will be YOU that decides your own fate, and the fate of the rest of the world as these events play out. Your silence is golden to THEM, and harmful to the rest of US. If you have ever embraced any cause, any ideology in your life; then THIS is the time to put down the television remote control, and prepare to activate your mind, and likewise your mouth.

It will require more than ever has been asked of you, in that you must have the sheer audacity to stand-up in defiance to these power-hungry monsters that are gobbling-up out children’s free thoughts at an alarming rate. The world that you leave to them, and their children; will be the product of your commitment to yourself after reading this message.

I can do no more than show you, ( through my words ) what is happening, and to offer my suggestion that might perhaps animate your sense of urgency in these matters.

Let’s hope, and pray, that when the first of these signs emerges from the cesspool in the east; that civil war isn’t the first response to it. For that would play right into their wicked plans. But, I fear that as millions of you understand the ramifications of these agendas being forced down our throats; a determined calmness carries forward the day, and closes the chapter of these slithering creatures of the night.

I have received this Message and Warning when I was still a child. It has carried me forward through the years; ever cognizant that one day these events would come crashing into my life at full speed.

 

Now it’s in your face….

Sustainability

Okay, lets explore something that should be on everyone’s mind:

 

A massive Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) just swept the planet’s electrical grid.

  • Power Grid is down
  • Car stop running
  • Computers are totally fried
  • Cell phones are burnt out
  • Television is a thing of the past
  • Airline travel is restricted to the government
  • The government has seized control of all grocery distribution centers
  • Armed guards/national guard are positioned at every grocery store
  • Martial law has been declared on a National level
  • Firearms are outlawed
  • Farm based agricultural industries receive the highest priority as critical infrastructure realignment
  • Schools are temporarily suspended
  • Gas stations are off-limits, and guarded

IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL GRID IN YOUR AREA WILL BE DOWN FOR AT LEAST 1-YEAR

 

Examine this scenario in depth, and determine how you and yours will survive during the next twelve months.

How long will your current food supply last until it runs out?

How will you purchase supplies when your stockpile starts to erode?

What method will you utilize to insure a steady food supply exists?

RISK ANALYSIS & MITIGATION SUMMARY: The Soviet Threat To Alaska

420px-Military_districts_of_Russia_2010_svg

THE ALASKA WATCHMEN GROUP

RISK ANALYSIS & MITIGATION SUMMARY

The Soviet Threat To Alaska

SYNOPSIS:

Given the historical and existing current assumptions, as well as strategies involving the Soviet's Cold War era aspiration of Alaska; to wit, it's abundant natural resources, as well as Alaska's strategic location within the northern hemisphere; a thorough analysis of this prevalent threat is therefore required in order to arrive within a the framework of a predicated response which mitigates the omnipresent threat thereof.

Assumption #1:

Current global situations across the theater provide both a realistic, as well as favorable environment for an unprecedented incursion by the Soviet military apparatus into mainland Alaska territories.

The Russian geopolitical and economic situation(s) have reached a critical stage. Widespread dissatisfaction of Vladimir Putin's domestic and foreign polices has given rise to street level protests, some of which have turned deadly.

The primary hub of the Soviet Politburo has always been focused upon their maintaining the status quo within their organizational composition. Dissatisfaction has been historically dealt with at the extreme levels, or by carefully orchestrated deflection of the domestic issues through foreign interventionism; as was the case in the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Assumption #2:

America and its NATO allies, as well as coalition partners, are presently involved within the scope of several multilevel regional conflict(s) which are quickly and disproportionately draining America's strategic reserves, both in the terms of resources and manpower, as well as public opinion.

Assumption #3:

Japan has recently fulfilled a multi-level commerce agreement with its arch-enemy The People's Republic of China. A deal that is viewed by the west as unprecedented, and gives potential for what many believed are a shift in the balance of power among Pan-Asian countries.

Japan is wholly reliant upon America and NATO for its defense, notwithstanding the empire's self-defense forces which are wholly inadequate in dealing with anything more than a local insurrection, or short-term conflicts within its own domicile.

Assumption #4:

The People's Republic of China has repeatedly warned America and NATO allies that interference with its domestic polices regarding Taiwan would harbor consequences. This is evidenced by the increasingly hostile attitude within the military stratocracy, and its aspiration for dominance within the Pan-Asian region; an area that China claims as sovereign territory--including Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, and other Pacific island within the circle of influence.

China's rapid military build-up, and the rearmament of the military services has grown exponentially over the last decade. Its current stockpile of short-range, and medium range missile, as well as its blue water naval capabilities, and strategic air assets; indicate a quiet reaffirmation of its foreign adventurism polices within the region.

Nuclear capabilities, as well as long-range delivery methods have likewise increased, as well as stealth fighter capabilities.

Assumption #5:

North Koreas continual tirade against its neighbors to the south, and threats of global nuclear conflicts have risen sharply since the demise of its former leader. North Korea's military governance has become increasingly hostile toward outsiders.

The primary supplier of weapons, armaments, and munitions to the North Korean military remains unchanged--China and Russia.

Assumption #6:

Given the volatile nature, as well as unpredictable tendencies of global economies, and the increasing shift in Asian attitudes towards the west; it should not surprise America and NATO when The People's Republic of China asserts its power against Taiwan through military force.

Intervention by America would create an immediate regional threat which has the capability to migrate into a global event. China's avowed partners include the Soviet Union, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other Asian states.

American intercession would open the doors for other state players to enter the dispute; thereby creating opportunistic scenarios for the Soviet Union to fulfill its longstanding initiatives for the reacquisition of its former Alaskan territories.

Strategic Outlook:

Alaska is entirely dependent upon rail, maritime, roadway, and air transport of critical consumer, as well as defense inventories. Any minor disruption of these critical transportation system could create severe consequences for Alaska residents, as well as its military presence.

Within the scope of Alaska's territorial boundaries, certain geographic elements preclude rapid evacuation from affected areas. The ocean and mountainous barriers, as well as weather patterns create unfavorable conditions for a in-depth defensive stratagems. Given the technological advances, and weapons capability of the opponents, the Alaska military presence could offer but token resistance; much akin to the American strategic withdrawal into Seoul during the Korean conflict.

Alaska has little or no naval capability, and limited air capabilities. Given the Soviet invasion doctrine, the rapid development and employment of surface-to-air measures would greatly affect Alaska's air assets. The introduction of the SU-3000 missile system, as well as other delivery systems, likewise preclude air interdiction operations from within Canadian resources.

Soviet doctrines indicate a massed envelopment of the key facilities such as airfields, naval ports, commerce centers, as well as road junctures. Paratroop regiments and Spetnaz (Special Forces) could conceivably limit or restrict movement into or around denied areas; thereby creating static denial areas which preclude rapid facilitation of movement throughout the area; thereby limiting Alaskan mobility and/or tactical response(s).

Soviet naval transport forces, as well as air transportation capability would likely be utilized throughout Alaska, in an effort to secure key facilities. Within hours, the Soviets could transport several combat divisions into the areas already under their control.

It is theoretical that within three days, given the limited response capability within Alaska's military forces, that the Soviet Union could predictably occupy much of Alaska's cities, and other key strategic areas. It is without doubt that a "Denial of Opportunity" strategies employed by the Soviet forces could prevent rapid facilitation of reinforcements through Canada, or by sea lanes.

The proximity of Alaska to the Soviet Union, provides adequate defense in depth capabilities, as well as movement of critical supplies and additional follow-up forces.

Risk Mitigation & Response Strategies:

Understanding the geographical nature of Alaska, and its dependence upon outside resources, the military forces stationed within Alaska would be fighting on an asymmetrical forum. The defense would almost have to consists of delaying actions until reinforcements from other commands could arrive.

Given the current limited heavy armor, mechanized, and artillery disposition within the state's military organizational structures; it would be reasonable to assume an immediate, and potentially fatal assailment by Soviet military forces against these particular units.

Perhaps; in less than 72-hours the military presence in Alaska could be reduced to token levels of military resistance, if not a total capitulation of its forces into Soviet hands, as was the case during the Second World War Corregidor battles, whereby 30,000 combat troops surrendered to the Japanese forces due to lack of critical resources and reinforcement capabilities within the theater.

Key Response Strategies:

1. How would the Alaska State Guard be implemented in order to support Alaska's military forces?

2. Could a rapid draft of civilian citizens be mandated that would allow a swift integration into the overall defense of vital cities and/or population centers?

3. Are there sufficient military munitions inventories stockpiled in order to sustain multi-level protracted defensive actions?

4. Is it possible for Alaska to garrison adequate surface naval forces, as well as submarine capabilities to offset "denial of area" strategies utilized by a Soviet invasion?

5. What programs are currently active to protect vital government facilities, as well as civilian population centers?

6. Does Alaska maintain sufficient medical facilities, triage centers, and first echelon treatment capability to handle casualty rates of this nature?

ALASKA WATCHMEN GROUP

ADDENDUM TO RISK ANALYSIS & MITIGATION SUMMARY

Soviet Military Forces Disposition:

The Soviet military forces responsible for defense of the eastern region of the Soviet Union falls upon the Far Eastern Military District; a Red Banner Group commanded by Colonel-General O.L. Salyukov who assumed command in 2009.

The Far Eastern Military Districts is comprised of the following units:

14th Separate Brigade of Special Designation (Spetsnaz)

The 5th Army

The 35th Army,

HQ 68th Corps

Four Motor Rifle Divisions,

Four Machine-Gun/Artillery Divisions

83rd Airborne Brigade (With an incorporated light tank battalion)

635/654 and/or 954/598 Separate Airborne Battalions

Guards artillery battalion, and support units.

Ten units in the DVVO are now manned by contract servicemen.

Naval Forces Disposition:

Eastern Military District - Eastern Joint Strategic Command Pacific Fleet:

(1) Slava class cruiser

(1) Sovremennyy class destroyer

(4) Udaloy class destroyer

(3) Delta III class submarine

)2) Oscar class submarine

(5) Akula class submarine

(7) Kilo class submarine

The Pacific Fleet also includes coastal combatants such as corvettes and patrol ships, mine warfare vessels, support and logistic ships and light amphibious ships.

Naval Infantry:

9 motor-rifle brigades

1 tank brigade

1 Russian Airborne Troops brigade

1 Naval Infantry Brigade

7 bases for storage of weapons and equipment

Historical precedents accomplished by the Far Eastern Military District:

On August 20 Georgy Zhukov opened a major offensive with heavy air attack and three hours of artillery bombardment, after which three infantry divisions and five armoured brigades, supported by a fighter regiment and masses of artillery (57 thousand troops in total), stormed the 75,000 Japanese force deeply entrenched in the area. On August 23 the entire Japanese force found itself encircled, and on August 31 largely destroyed. Artillery and air attacks wiped out those Japanese who refused to surrender. Japan requested a cease-fire, and the conflict concluded with an agreement between the USSR, Mongolia and Japan signed on September 15 in Moscow. In the conflict, the Red Army losses were 9,703 killed in action (KIA) and missing in action (MIA) and 15,952 wounded. The Japanese lost 25,000 KIA; the grand total was 61,000 killed, missing, wounded and taken prisoner.

Shortly after the cease-fire, the Japanese negotiated access to the battlefields to collect their dead. Finding thousands upon thousands of dead bodies came as a further shock to the already shaken morale of the Japanese soldiers. The scale of the defeat probably became a major factor in discouraging a Japanese attack on the USSR during World War II, which allowed the Red Army to switch a large number of its Far Eastern troops into the European Theatre in the desperate autumn of 1941.

Conclusions:

[ The aforementioned assumptions are derived from my own research; and the following conclusions are likewise derived from my own research. The reader is advised to do his/her own research in order to arrive at their own conclusions. Franke Schein - March 30th 2012 - Anchorage, Alaska)

A quick analysis of the distance separating Alaska from the Russian Peninsula indicates that a mere 65(+/-) miles separates the two countries. 65-Nautical miles is nothing when considering the speed at which modern military formations are capable of producing.

Throughout the context of this document, it is clearly evident that the Far Eastern Military District is comprised of several Army Groups with attached support apparatus, as well as naval forces, and special forces units. The rapid deployment of these units, and their inherent cross-country capability is without doubt substantial in itself.

Unconfirmed analysis also indicates that at least four Hydro boats are deployed in the district, in order to facilitate rapid movement of combat regiments, light armor, and heavy armor units.

The several different airborne units, as well as the air-mobile units are part of the rapid deployment structure common to Soviet Doctrine of Warfare. The augmentation of several air-defense forces at both the Army Group, Divisional, and brigade levels; indicates a rapid response capability which matches the US capabilities in many degrees.

Artillery, chemical, military police, KGB, and other essential units are indigenous to the Military District's Operational structure.

What is concerning are the number of submarines laying just off Alaska's coastal areas; some of which have been updated with modern technologies and weapons delivery systems. It's would be feasible for these submarine forces to deny access to the Bearing Sea, or even the Pacific approaches that could be utilized by the US Naval Forces.

In all; there exists a colossal Soviet military force within quick striking distance of Alaska's shores. Given that the American military presence in Alaska is minimal; should a cross oceanic invasion occur, the Soviets would likely seize large swaths of strategic areas within Alaska, while denying the Alaska military forces movement capability.

I believe that American military force's only option would be to conduct delaying tactics while reinforcements from the lower-48 states could arrive. Much like the obstacles that US/ROK forces faced during the Korean war; would in all likelihood be repeated here in Alaska.

Soviet warfare doctrine has not change much since World War Two. Their advancement in weapons capabilities, as well as war-fighting and signals technology mirrors the achievement of the US. But, their special designation units, as well as advance teams would likely infiltrate into Alaska before the planned invasion. This is evidenced in the Soviets previous cross-border invasions since the 1915 era wars. Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia, and other break-away republics were dealt with in the same manner.

Historically the Airborne units, special forces, as well as air-mobile units would be the first echelon formation. Their movement would without doubt, be preceded by a massive air campaign against US Air force assets, as well as a rapid employment of anti-air units to counter any potential attacks by American air assets, and submarine based missile strikes against American artillery units.

Soviet Advance teams could feasible shut down major maritime ports, airfields, and highways leading away from the proposed naval landing areas. Follow-Up forces would include mechanized infantry, light and heavy tanks, as well as mobile rocket launchers and field artillery.

A gradual widening of the area, and pacification of the surrounding civilian areas would then be next on the roster. Pacification is normally carried out through intimidation by a strong show of force, or the outright executions of community leaders, resistance units, and captured military personnel.

Soviet doctrine dictates a rapid envelopment of key objectives, and control of roads, bridges, and government facilities within a 24-hour period. Follow-up forces then bring combined arms units (mechanized Infantry with heavy tank support) against strategic areas. Air defense and field artillery units are an integral parts of this doctrine.

These assumptions and conclusions are based upon an invasion forces seizing a single objective along Alaska's coastline. It's quite possible, and very likely, that several different ports and airfields across Alaska would be seized at the same time. If this is truly the case, then I submit that an asymmetrical war would greatly intensify the conflict beyonf what the Alaska based military is capable of dealing with.

Survival Perspective: SHTF Warlords

Warlords By Franke Schein

 

One of the more disconcerting elements of the modern day survival movement is am emerging trend which affects every survivalist, and non-survivalist alike. It goes something like this:

A small survival group Bug’s Out during a SHTF crisis. They hunker down until the crisis is over, and then systematically begin sweeping their Area of Operations (AO) on a mission to seize or plunder the area’s resources.

In case you are wondering what I mean by “Resources”; I mean the survival food and supplies that you have presently squirrel away and stockpiled for the End Times.

For the last thirty years I have tried to warn other survivalists about this threat. In many of my articles I make it perfectly clear that all of those “Shelter In Place” plans might sound good to some people; but the sad reality is that three of four well armed family members cannot hold-off a well trained and disciplined paramilitary group.

 

if you think that this is a foregone conclusion or fantasy; then click onto the link provided below:

The video above should serve as a warning sign to every survival group and prepper alike:

Get Some Friends Right Now!

 

You absolutely MUST HAVE A PLAN-B when things go south. Don’t put all of your “eggs in one basket” and foolishly believe that you will be immune to any sort of violence. That would be a serious tactical mistake.

The Southern Threat

AMERICA_IRAN_BOMB 

South American is a continent that has been consumed with wars, diseases, disasters, revolutions, and an out of control crime epidemic that is creeping northwards into the American heartland. For decades, the potential for continental war has been brewing amid the squalor and insufferable decadence at the hands of military juntas seeking to rule with the absolution of military might.

 

If it weren’t for the United States, the people of Central America and South America would experience a higher infant mortality rate, lower life expectancies, and an economic climate that pales in comparison to what it currently is.

Women in those third world countries have four times as many children as their counterparts here in America. Family planning initiatives have failed miserably due largely to conflicts with religious beliefs. Overpopulation is inevitable, and already America is seeing the results of decades of arbitrary government mismanagement.

The increased birthrate is already crushing most South American economies. A discernible division between the poor and the wealthy has created an imbalance that is pushing poor people into poverty; while the wealthy are forced to hide themselves behind armed-barricaded walls. These wealthy enclaves of the South American elites are the ones shown on American television commercials urging tourists to spend their “gringo” dollars that support these elite communities.

Rural areas are not able to maintain their own economies as more of the middle-class city-dwellers transition into the rich farmlands of South America. Farming communities are forced to watch helplessly as family farms are forced out of business by greedy land developers. Migration into the already desperate cities leave few choices for income starved families. Yet; the cycle perpetuates itself because there are no jobs to be had in the cities. The cities offer little in the way of resources, since many coming from the rural areas have little technical skills or education. Parents are sending their minor children to work in sweat shops, just to put food on the dinner table. The substandard pay scales continue to feed this vicious cycle that swallows entire family clans.

In many cases; third world countries are witness to an increasing number of riots, civil unrest, and outright civil disobedience. These events play out on American television stations almost weekly, but the lingering images of burning cars and dead bodies sprawled in the streets are soon forgotten as another reality show distracts the population. Sadly; the South American elites have systematically clamped-down on these “peasant” riots with brutal and oftentimes, deadly response.

Mexican Elite Police

 

This brutality by their own government, has turned many people into the waiting arms of insurgencies that have operated in the region for decades. Under severe economic conditions, and lack of jobs, the South American insurgency has flourished, as well as gained popularity among the disenfranchised population.

As a result, the governments have lost even more control and started directing horrific violence towards their own citizens; thus creating even more insurgents who fight because the government control has effected their families, or displaced them even further into the cesspool of third world politics.

On top of all the woes in South America; the ethnic hatred remains as functional today, as it did in the early colonial days.

Brazil is mostly Caucasian, The dominant religion is Roman Catholic, and the official language of the country is Portuguese. Venezuelan's are Mestizo, practice the Catholic faith, and speak Spanish. Guyana's population is comprised of East Indian, Hindus, and they speak English. Meanwhile; The French Guinea are Mulatto, attend Catholic churches and use French as their country’s primary language. Multicultural diversity is oftentimes forgotten as gunfire replaces dialog.

Even out in the dark jungles of the rain forest; a warrior tribe consisting of the Yanomamo Tribe is emerging. These are the indigenous people that until the early 1940’s, never had contact with the outside world--the last of the head-hunter tribes. Their tribal villages are spread out across the borders of nearly every South American country. These villages play an important role in the transportation and protection of the drugs being transported through their respective areas.

The instability of the South American governments have provided rich opportunities for the major Drug Cartels. Throughput the years, the cartels have offered jobs, schools, and hospitals to impoverished villages. Starving families were put to work producing or transporting drugs. When a Chieftain, Mayor, Police Commissioner, or Politician couldn’t be bought—he was assassinated.

Since the American “War On Drugs” was initiated in the early 1980’s; the drug cartels ability to operate with impunity has been reduced. This forced the cartels to organize, train, and equip their own armies. Sources indicate that these South American armies have a strength that far exceed a hundred thousand soldiers. The sales of drugs financed these rouge armies. Weapons, equipment, munitions, explosives, and modern communications gear is bought from willing countries such as North Korea, Iran, and former Soviet states. Cartel armies are, in most cases, better equipped and financed than many South American military forces.

The commanders of these cartel armies have learned much from their Iranian and Korean Special Forces instructors. When attacked by the government troops, they systematically begin a terror campaign targeting the government soldiers family members. When Cartel leaders are apprehended or killed, government buildings, as well as civilian targets are hit with bombs, tourists kidnapped, school children slaughtered, and snipers kill police officers on the streets and in their homes. It doesn't take long for the underpaid soldier or police officer to understand how the game is played. This is one of the reasons the Mexican Drug War has spiraled out of control.

There have been many reports flowing out from the Nightly News networks detailing critical information about Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. yet; it is rare to hear about the possibility that Iran already has acquired a nuclear weapon courtesy of North Korea, and smuggled it into the United States. Considering the following reports:

"Since September 11, 2001, DHS has reported a 41 percent increase in arrests along the Texas/Mexico border of Special Interest Aliens,"

According to the report, "hundreds" of OTM illegal aliens from special interest countries from countries including Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan, Cuba, Brazil, Ecuador, China, Russia, Yemen, Albania, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan have been apprehended in the South Texas region alone since September 11, 2001.

"Just recently, U.S. intelligence officials report that seven Iraqis were found in Brownsville, Texas in June 2006. In August 2006, an Afghani man was found swimming across the Rio Grande River in Hidalgo, Texas; as recently as October 2006, seven Chinese were apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas."

"A jacket with patches from countries where al Qa'ida is known to operate was found in Jim Hogg County, Texas by the Border Patrol. The patches on the jacket show an Arabic military badge with one depicting an airplane flying over a building and heading towards a tower, and another showing an image of a lion's head with wings and a parachute emanating from the animal. The bottom of one patch read 'martyr,' 'way to eternal life' or 'way to immortality.'"

Confirmed Terrorists Apprehended
A few of the apprehended OTM illegal immigrants with confirmed ties to terrorist groups listed in the congressional report include:

Neeran Zaia - arrested on September 8, 2004 - headed an organization responsible for smuggling more than 200 Iraqi, Jordanian, and Syrian nationals into the United States. When he was arrested, U.S. Customs agents discovered that Zaia had a prior conviction for human smuggling.
Mahmoud Youssef Kourani -- pleaded guilty on March 1, 2005 to providing material support to Hezbollah. "Kourani is an illegal alien who had been smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border after bribing a Mexican consular official in Beirut for a visa to travel to Mexico."
Salim Boughader Mucharrafille - was arrested in December 2002 for illegally smuggling more than two hundred Lebanese, many believed to have ties to Hezbollah into the United States.

SURVIVAL STRATEGIES:

When SHTF, those people and families living on, or near, the borders must be prepared for an immediate infiltration of massive illegals, many of whom will likely be OTM’s whose only purpose is to kill Americans, and sow death and destruction.Survival groups operating in those areas must strategize, plan, and prepare for this eventuality.
