Self Defense Preparations

379748_306082802752397_1187392568_n

 

I keep reading about all of the preparations being undertaken by some preppers, in terms of fighting off the ravages of society.

 

 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words; so allow the one below to speak my language:

hunger1

Are you really going to allow your own humanity to take a serious hit; by turning away some child that’s hungry. Even more, are you going to shoot some desperate father or mother

that’s begging for your help?

The Warning & Message

worldwar

 

Throughout the years I have come to understand a simple principle when it comes to survivalism: Some of us are sent THE MESSAGE, while others are sent THE WARNING.

 

For me, this began while I was still a young child. It began subtly, and at first I didn’t understand it. I took years, until my teens, for me to realize that I was endowed with a message, and a warning.  It changed my life then, and continues to impact it even today.

 

The Message:

It’s pretty simple. When one become aware of what is going on in the world, and understands the nature of how life will unfold in the coming years; some of us began preparations that might somehow allow us to make peace within ourselves, and perhaps even began the slow and tedious process of stockpiling some very basic essential supplies.

· Stockpiles essential supplies

· Completes basic threat research

· Talks to others on the internet for information exchange

· Devotes several hours each day to internet discussion groups

· Understands that something might happen

· Builds a basic bug out plan

· Enrolls in a self-defense class

· Talks on the internet about survivalism

· Is prepared to Bug Out when SHTF

· Maintains an adequate Bug Out Bag

 

The Warning:

This is much more serious than having heard the message. A person that hears the warning is alarmed to the point that immediate action is required. It’s a process which demands that there isn’t enough time in a day, and that there isn’t enough money in the bank to cover all the associated costs.

· Stockpiles several years’ worth of food supplies

· Completes exhaustive risk analysis

· Establishes a network with others for information exchange

· Devotes several hours each day towards fulfillment of stockpile acquisition

· Knows that something will happen

· Builds an advance evacuation plan

· Enrolls in a self-defense, first aid, and wilderness survival class

· Talks to neighbors about survivalism

· Is prepared to Bug Out before SHTF

· Maintains several advance Bug Out Bags strategically cached in different areas

 

The term “Prepper” has become repugnant to me. It denotes something that is far removed from survivalism. A prepper collects gear, and hopes nothing happens; while a survivalist stockpiles gear and knows that something will happen.

Societal Collapse:

In a recent posting I discussed the probabilities, and ramifications of what could happen to America during an economic collapse.

Using historical events as a basis for my research, it is very easy to understand what America is facing. If Greece is but just one example, then we as a nation will be facing some very tough times

in the coming months.  Another economic collapse could stall every industry in America, and like a dark cloud—hang across the country for several years before slowly experiencing a return to

normalcy.

 

article-1257243-08AD7279000005DC-558_634x341

Nightmare foretold if Greece heads for euro exit

In Athens, the homeless are on the streets in growing numbers, soup kitchens feed twice as many people as a year ago, and the poor are diving into garbage bins in search of scrap they can sell.

Greece is close to breaking point as it struggles with austerity targets set by creditors, but this is just a foretaste of the nightmare of unrest, hunger and even anarchy that could engulf the debt-crippled nation if it is forced out of the euro.

If the exact economic impact of such a move is hard to nail down - newly issued drachmas devalued by up to 70 percent, runaway inflation, a banking meltdown, a collapse in trade - the implications for ordinary Greeks crushed by the debt crisis are even harder to predict.

Without international bailout cash, salaries and pensions would go unpaid and violence, political extremism and uncontrolled emigration could quickly follow.

"NIGHTMARE SCENARIO"

"There will be shortages in basic staples. Without fuel, the army and the police would not be able to move their vehicles. After a long period, things will return to a better balance. But during the first transitional phase we would be experiencing a nightmare scenario," Provopoulos said.

Survival: Moral Imperative

Moral Imperative

By Franke Schein

May 17th 2012

All Rights Reserved

Over the last few weeks my telephone has been ringing off the hook, and the email messages keep pouring in from around the world. It seems that a boatload of people are worried—seriously worried about what the immediate future will involve.

From the newbies just coming into the movement, to the hard-core survivalists; the questions are nearly the same:

· What will happen

· When will it happen

· How can I get ready for it

Let’s take this in a step-by-step approach in order to arrive at some logical answers.

“What Will Happen?”

I personally feel that an economic collapse is not only imminent, but that we are staring down into the dark abyss. One only has to look deep into what this collapse could mean to each of us down here on the streets.

Already the American Dollar is severely undercut. Several (hostile) state-players are doing their very best to destabilize the US Dollar, and by proxy, the economic livelihood of about 300-Million American Citizens. That fact alone, should send shock waves throughout the media, but the politically correct “talking heads” aren’t saying much about it. Political power play is most evident in this massive network silence. The reason is very simple: Every network is desirous of having a few key reporters sitting in the Whitehouse; speaking out against the administration’s foreign polices does little to insure a front row seat in the Whitehouse Press Room. Their silence is both a travesty towards America, and reeks to the high heavens of media bias for the sake of corporate profiteering.

The short and long term ramifications of an economic collapse are frightening. One only has to look backwards into the history of America, and the world, to see how this event will play out in our lives. Imagine a 1930’s style Depression, but on a much larger scale.

Capital manufacturing takes a plunge. Only those industries with guaranteed government contracts will remain. Many of the brand name factories and their distributors will fall by the wayside. The corporations growing, or distributing food products will fare well because people still need to eat. Of course the consumer prices will rise sharply, and the supply-side of the equation will come into play as the demand outsources the inventory and production values.

Critical fuel supply production will likewise take a nose-dive down into the abyss. Just like 1930, the price of gasoline will skyrocket until it is almost out of reach for most Americans. The government’s strategic reserve will have to be tapped, and in the long term it could result in a “rationing” of gasoline and other critical fuels. Ask your grandparents about “ration cards” and what all of that meant to them.

Once the manufacturing base goes down the crapper; other consumer supported industries will fail in less than three months.

Cellphone and Wireless carriers, as well as internet based services will struggle to remain afloat, and then eventually go bankrupt. Those carriers that manage to survive the first two quarters will have little choice but to raise prices. Again, the “supply and demand” will enter into the equation. Many families will have no choice but to disconnect from the internet, turn off their wireless devices, and return to a pre-technological mode of communications.

The good news; thousands of new car dealers will face bankruptcy, and the prices of new cars will plummet. Dealerships do not own the cars, they are just the purveyor of manufacturers finished products. Those with ample cash and get some rock-bottom prices—pennies on the dollar.

Of course; as usually happens, the greedy utility companies will reap tremendous profits. The cost for electricity, water, sewage, and natural gas will go through the roof. Imagine being forced to pay 500% more than what is paid right now. Expect this industry to profit at America’s misfortune—as they already are doing.

The nation’s financial industry will take a huge hit. The Dow Jones and other indexes will see a drastic drop in prices. Investors will panic, raise the prices, experience an immediate deficit as the S&P index falls to the basement. Investment accounts, 401K’s, Long-Term saving, as well as Mutual funds will wither and die a horrible death.

Local credit unions, and banks will likely fail in the first few months. The Mega-Banks will be forced to raise fees, and charge for every conceivable service that the bank offers its customers. As more and more banks fail, there will probably be long lines at the bank doors as panicked citizen try to get their cash back into their pockets. It could very well result in the Federal Reserve System installing protocols that limit the amount that can be withdrawn from respective consumer bank accounts. This will signal a massive financial collapse as banks are deluged with angry customers. It will probably get bloody at some point, and national guard troops could be stationed at the bank in order to keep the peace.

The Federal Reserve will be struggling to maintain an equitable balance within its own rank and file. Expect to see a reduction in the amount of money flowing back and forth as people turn towards a barter system. The black market will swing into action. Those with barter goods will fare reasonably well, but those that are unprepared will suffer badly.

Gold will take another hit. Those that have stockpiled gold as a hedge against severe inflation will be in a shock for their life. Those $1,600.00 good coins that were purchased last year, will go quickly. Expect to shell out a gold coin for simple things like gasoline, rice, bullets, beans—and other consumer commodities.

Welfare will become the norm, and the already overburdened state subsistence agencies will turn to the federal government for assistance. Schools lunch programs, Medicare and Medicaid will follow suit. Our senior citizens will feel the brunt of the collapse. Their $1300.00 a month stipend payment will be reduced as the consumer price index rises—their low dollar income-buying power will have drastic effects on senior’s purchasing power. Faced with increasing utility payments, undervalued buying power, and reduced social welfare assistance; many senior will choose to leave this world at their own hands. The nightly news reports will be filled with stories of suicide until the public becomes desensitized to these occurrences.

Across the country there will be a sudden increase in crimes against people and property. Looting will follow suit, along with rioting as angry-hungry people take to the streets. Bloodshed, and vigilante justice will take shape almost overnight. The “hanky stomping liberals” will quickly be faced with a choice of “correctness” or perish in the onslaught.

When the crime finally peaks, there will be a mass exodus from the cities. Armed groups will dominate the news, and eventually the local government will be forced to institute both a curfew, and martial law.

Civil disobedience will quickly come into play as heavily armed people take matters into their own hands. The price of ammunition, firearms parts, as well as the costs of guns themselves will skyrocket. Local gun stores and those department stores still having ammo inventories, will be quickly depleted. In some cases, the local government will have no choice but to seize and confiscate all firearms and ammunition. They will claim this measure is to keep the peace—in fact, it will only give rise to increased anarchism.

All in all; the average American will be facing severe difficulties. The loss of the financial system, manufacturing capability, as well as the decrease in consumer commodities, will, when combine with the loss of jobs, reduced buying power, and the destruction of the banking system—create a welfare state wholly dependent upon government assistance, social charity agencies, and leave people facing a world of criminal dominated nights where safety means being armed and alert.

But, there are others factors to consider beyond a total economic collapse. Events such as another terrorist attack, severe weather phenomenon, or natural disasters resultant of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or tsunamis, could plunge a large portion of the country into a dismal state . Events such a this could impact the economy outside of the localized areas—thus sending shockwaves throughout the region, as was the case during Hurricane Katrina.

“When Will It Happen?”

There is not one single person on the globe that can predict this eventuality with any certainty of precision. There are many factors at play, any exigent circumstances across the global arena has the potential to ignite catastrophes whose far reaching effects could reach Americas shores.

One of the significant discoveries centers around the fact that Illegal immigrants are fleeing back towards Mexico at an alarming rate. Yet, the birth of Hispanic children has risen sharply to the point that current index indicates that the Hispanic population in America has reached the all-important mark of 36%. It is predicted that by 2050 the Hispanic population will achieve a 56% index, thereby impacting the economy through reduced literacy, sub-standard wage scales, and loss of employment opportunities, as well as a closely related increase in Hill-Burton (type) medical loss experienced by hospitals around the country.

Severe weather has already wrecked large swatch of the country during the first five months of 2012. If this is the matrix to measure the next seven months that will follow; then America will be facing an increasingly dangerous world.

“How Can I Get Ready?”

As I have addressed throughout the last several years, it is imperative that survivalists come together in their respective areas. Small groups have a much better chance of getting through these calamities, than the “Lone wolf Survivalist” trying to get through each day all alone.

Having a large supply stockpile is absolutely outstanding, but it should be remembered that a family of four will have no chance against a small rouge group of anarchists intent on taking the stockpile by force of arms. One person cannot hope to stand against those odds. It requires the combined efforts of an extended “survival family” that has taken the time to research, strategize, plan, and prepare for these types of situations.

It must be remembered that primitive survival skills are a useful tool in the survivalists toolbox, but it must not be the only plan. If this is the case, failure is definitely imminent and non-withstanding from the onset. A survival plan should take into account the necessity of supplementing the food supplies with fresh meat and vegetable, but there are events that will preclude this.

· Volcanic Eruption

· Tsunami

· Wildfire

· Civil Unrest

· Martial Law

· Radiological Disaster

· Biological Disaster

· Chemical Disaster

I have talked about the need for a reality based survival plan that takes into account every conceivable scenario, every possible disaster, as well as a deep level of comprehension and understanding of what each requires in terms of surviving, as well as knowing how these events will unfold step-by-step.

Failure to plan, is not an option when survival is at stake. There can be no minimizing the threats or any aspects of it, no delusional fantasies, and a good survival plan leaves absolutely no room for assumptions based on fictional scenarios.

The North American Survival Alliance is the product of my own attempt to allow other people to experience a level of survival planning, as well as execution of those plans within the scope of reality.

In the last year the membership has grown throughout the country. But, there should be lots of people signing up. It is after all a no cost mechanism designed to help everyone get ready for whatever Man and Nature offers in the future. But I fear that most “preppers” out there are simply put—imposters pretending to be survivalists.

Survival panning dictates a constant research of resources, technologies, tools, and other aspects which enhance or better an already good survival plan. But the trend seems to have turned towards collecting gear, stockpiling weapons and ammunition, and getting caught-up in all of the conspiracy theories that are destroying the survival movement from within.

I choose to remain outside of that arena, and continue to surround myself with capable and dedicated survivalists (Not Preppers) that understand the message and warning that we have been blessed to hear throughout most of our lives.

If you have heard the message, and know the warning; then I am happy to call you a friend. Now take the time to reach out across the horizon and get in touch. Time is not your friend—my friend.

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?

Volcano Eruption in Japan on Tuesday, 13 March, 2012 at 15:15 (03:15 PM) UTC.

Description

Sakurajima continued its second day of violent eruptions on Tuesday, spewing hot rocks and ash, but there was no major damage in the vicinity, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said. The agency said Monday's powerful eruption was the most forceful since 2009. The volcano is located in the southern prefecture of Kagoshima. The Meteorological Agency added that the volcano has been erupting steadily for the last two years, but the eruption on Monday turned violent, throwing 50-centimetre (1 foot 6 inches) rocks nearly 1.2 miles away, the furthest since 2009. In response, the Meteorological agency extended the eruption warning to residents living further away from the mouth of the volcano. The volcano has already had over 300 eruptions this year. Sakurajima volcano, one of Japan's more active volcanoes, resumed activity in 1955 and has been active ever since. Sakurajima volcano in Japan's southern Kagoshima prefecture erupts violently in what officials say is the most powerful since 2009, though there has been no damage so far.

 

Volcano Activity in Colombia on Saturday, 10 March, 2012 at 03:56 (03:56 AM) UTC.

Description

The Nevado del Ruiz volcano, whose eruption 26 years ago killed around 25,000 people, is showing signs of activity after nearly 20 years laying dormant, said Colombian geological group Ingeominas Thursday. Early Friday morning, geologists completed an observational fly-over with the assistance of the Colombian Air Force, during which they photographed the Nevado del Ruiz volcano and noted "ash on the glacier, near the crater rim and on the eastern flank," as well as a 4,500 foot gas column at the mouth of the volcano. During the same day a seismic tremor was reported along with an increase in sulfur dioxide emissions. All of these factors signal that the volcano is heating up. Located about 80 miles west of Bogota, Nevado del Ruiz is an active volcano that produces pyroclastic flows, or swift currents of hot gas and rock that lead to destructive mudslides. There have been numerous eruptions over the centuries, with the most recent was on November 13, 1985.

 

Volcano Eruption in Russia [Asia] on Friday, 09 March, 2012 at 08:22 (08:22 AM) UTC.

Description

Friday saw a new eruption of the Bezymianny volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. Earlier in the day, the volcano spewed ash up to 8 kilometers high, seismologists said, adding that the eruption does not pose a threat to population centers in the area. One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Bezymianny is located 350 kilometers northeast of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. During its most powerful eruption in 1956, the 2,800-meter volcano ejected about three cubic kilometers of volcanic debris in a very short time.

Volcano Eruption in USA on Friday, 09 March, 2012 at 04:02 (04:02 AM) UTC.

Description

Monitors have detected what is described as a small explosion at the Cleveland Volcano in Alaska. The volcano is located in Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands, southwest of Anchorage. According to the Alaska Volcano Observatory, the eruption happened just after 7 p.m. Wednesday. The incident was similar to eruptions in December which sent small ash clouds into the atmosphere. But they were small enough to dissipate quickly, and did not interfere with air traffic. Photos of the latest explosion was masked by cloud cover so satellite imagery is unavailable.

 

Volcano Eruption in Ecuador on Monday, 05 March, 2012 at 03:33 (03:33 AM) UTC.

Description

Ecuador's Instituto Geofísico (IG) reports an increase of Tunguarahua volcano's activity: Since last night (3 March), 4 explosions have been reported of moderate to large size. An explosion at 07:31 local time today produced an ash columnreaching about 4 km in height and drifting to the west - northwest. A second explosion took place at 09:11 (local time) and produced a strong shock wave that rattled the ground and windows in nearby areas. CLoud cover has prevented detailed observations, but with the help of thermal sensors, hot fresh deposits were detected on the flanks, suggesting they were the result of a pyroclastic flow. In the morning, the observatory post at Cusúa reported the presence of hot deposits on the upper flank typical for fresh pyroclastic flow deposits. Ash fall was reported from Choglontús, Manzano and Motilones areas before, and this morning ashfall reached the Yuibug area. The monitoring system has been recording variable seismicity and powerful tremor episodes lasting minutes to hours (which probably indicate rising magma), interrupted by short moderate to large explosion signals corresponding to the ash eruptions from the growing lava dome.

The Bug Out Vehicle

DSC07436

DSC07432 DSC04039

One of the primary element of my own family survival plan is the ability to quickly get away in the event something happens.

Here in Alaska we are faced with several real potentials for disasters. All of our plans detail our little family being able to stop whatever we are doing, and jump into the main BOV that awaits us in the driveway.

I have outfitted with old Suburban 4x4 with a brand new 5.7L 350hp engine, reworked all of the electronics, and outfitted the truck with programmable scanner, mobile HAM/Commercial radio, and a standard Citizen’s Band radio.

Double stuffed winter tires, and extra lights keep us on the road during those long and dark winter nights when seeing 50 yards up the road is almost impossible without High Intensity Discharge (HID) spotlights. They are tinted in blue in order to cut through the snow.

Inside the 4x4 we keep extra a clothing, wool blankets, tools, and our personal survival gear. Theirs is 1-month worth of food in back, as well as a full blow EMT kit for medical emergencies. Extra fuel cans, motor oil and fluids round out the inventory.

Winter_Wonderland (38)

The roads in Alaska are ALWAYS glazed over with ice. Unlike the lower-48 states where the snowplows keep the roads clean; here in Alaska we have so much snow, that it is always ice covered and dangerous. Whiteouts occur with little or no warning, and oftentimes the weather will change in a heartbeat. Those who venture out into the remote areas have to keep basic survival supplies in the car, or they could potentially die within a few miles of the nearest gas station. Most small (mom & pop) gas stations close a little after dark-thirty.

 

 

Winter_Wonderland (64)

The radios utilized by The Alaska Watchmen Group are Yeasu FT1900R 55-Watt mobile HAM radio that have the MARS/CAP option installed. The radio is capable of receiving and transmitting on the 136 MHz – 174 MHz band. In a SHTF event, a 100-Watt power amplifier cross-linked to a repeater system allows the group to maintain constant radio communications with each team.

Dooms Day Events From Around The World

2012 Prophecies By Franke Schein

2012 came in like a hungry lion looking for its next meal. Here are some of the latest data-streams from around the globe—some of which have not happened in my lifetime…

An unusually rare winter storm has taken countless lives all across Europe:

  • The Balkans – 37 Dead
  • Serbia – 16 Dead
  • Bosnia – 11 Dead
  • Slovakia – 5 Dead
  • Montenegro – 4 Dead
  • Croatia – 3 Dead
  • Macedonia – 2 Dead
  • Albania – 1 Dead
  • Ukraine – 135 Dead
  • Poland – 82 Dead
  • Russia – 46 Dead
  • Czech Republic – 25 Dead
  • Lithuania – 24 Dead
  • Romania – 57 Dead
  • Bulgaria – 32 Dead
  • France – 12 Dead

 

Earthquakes:

 

Volcanic Eruptions:

 

Near Earth Objects Data Table:

  • Name: 2008QY 
  • Approach Date: 14th February 2012
  • Estimated Diameter: 540 Meters – 1.2 Kilometers (591 Yards)
  • Relative Velocity: 22.9 Meters Per Second – 80,244 Kilometers Per Hour (49862 MPH)

The above NEO (Near Earth Object) is one of approximately 3000 that are being tracked by NASA. It has been estimated that there are an additional 30,000 objects streaming through our galaxy that aren’t being tracked or monitored. Should one object impact another, the collision could send a stadium size object screaming towards our planet.

The Question: Would the US Government alert the civilian population that a chunk of rock the size of the super dome was screaming towards us at 50,000 miles per hour; or would they remain quiet about this event in order to forestall any mass panic…?

New World Order: In Your Face

321494_170332873045157_100002053350959_372279_6242622_n

New World Order, Conspiracy Theory, End Times, The Illuminati, Revelation, TEOTWAWKI, SHTF, WROL, NWO, The Purge, Global Cleansing, Christ’s Return, Rapture, Tribulations, 2nd Genesis, End Of Technology, Rebirthing, Mayan Prophecies.

All of the terms above represent a series of divergent views, opinions, and beliefs, about how the world will end, or what the future holds for mankind. It depends entirely upon the person’s belief system, and their personal values, coupled with their own understanding of these future events.

Some would argue that in 2012 a series of cataclysmic events will rock the very foundation of all that is representative of our modern culture; while others vehemently declare without reservation, that the Wrath of GOD will fall upon mankind very soon—probably in December 2012.

No matter who I have spoken with about these future events, and no matter what their own end-times philosophies are; each person has told me that they intrinsically felt a sense of immediate urgency in getting themselves ready to face these future crisis probabilities.

My own search for answers to the omnipresent concerns about these terrible events, has led me onto a different path than some of my contemporaries. A path which looks into the historical aspects, predictability patterns, and current events around the globe--which might in some small way allow me to catch a glimpse of the initial indicators that something is amiss. But, I must admit that often-times I have to stop and look at the information peeking out from behind the veil of modern telecommunications with its inherently instant gratifying information portals—as it can quickly inundate my senses with a flood of information non-relevant to my research.

Winter_Wonderland (1)

I look for emerging patterns such as unexplained weather phenomenon, psyhotronic behaviors patterns, economic trends, religious trends, political and judicial policies, national security and foreign polices, moods, consumer price indexes, and many other other data streams that fit a certain pattern of movement away from, or towards something.

With an open mind I watch these data streams fade into and out of my field of understanding. Some remain logged into the memory bank of my mind, while other data bits just flow through my mind without consequence. Yet, certain tidbits of data-information forces my mind to stop and observe a little closer, sit up straight, read a little more, and sometimes it allows the information to take my search in an entirely different direction.

It’s these little nagging things which demand that I find the answer that puzzles me the most, and oftentimes forces me to spend many hours sifting through reams and reams of information, until I achieve a sense of understanding, and have gained some inner cognitive recognition that the information which I am seeing is very important to me.

Here are some of the data-stream trends that I have encountered over the last few years, and some of these trends have increased in their individual voracities, as well as frequency of occurrences:

Food prices have risen sharply; while the prices paid to farmers have decreased exponentially. In essence; corporate America is screwing the farmers and ranchers that produce our food, while screwing us at the cash register when we buy their products.

Unemployment seems to be slowing down; based on what I see from the national unemployment index. But the index doesn’t take into account the number of people that no longer qualify for unemployment benefits, and are forced to apply for public assistance. Another disturbing factor right beside this trend is the sudden increase in the number of families applying for food stamps. Middle class America which was the very foundation of the economic growth of this country—are now losing their jobs to outsourcing, losing their homes to foreign investment banks, and forced to put corporate America’s overpriced food on their kitchen tables—bought and paid for with food stamps that are subsidized with tax revenues.

Our oil hungry nation imports more oil than many of the third world countries in South America combined. Yet our car manufacturing base is cranking out supersonic flashy cars that suck high dollar fuel faster than dairy cows can pump milk. There is little effort being put into economy cars that sip gasoline, because the younger generation of America are envious of those that have high dollar Beamer’s and Benz's. But these kids cant afford the price tag, so they spend their money foolishly on street racers that look good and are filled with all kinds of electronic gizmos that do absolutely nothing for the fuel mileage, but everything for their own sense of self indulgence—and thus send more of their dollar overseas to Asian companies importing the stereos, gps, and other electrical crap which makes mechanics smile when the car break down.

Gold prices have gone through the roof, but the Euro still outdistances the dollar by 40%. A Euro costs $1.40; even though the European monetary system is teetering on the brink of total collapse. Wall Street traders, investment bankers, international banking consortiums—all have prophesized that the European financial institutions are writing checks that their respective, and collective asses can’t cover. The US dollar has a 63% buying power. So every time that you lay down a one dollar bill—remember that it’s only worth sixty three inflation adjusted pennies. Perhaps that is why ten years ago one could buy three cans of beans for two dollars; and today one can of beans costs three dollars.

I had a long conversation a few years ago with a Harvard Math professor and political science educator. He told me that America’s economic problems could be solved in one single 24-Hour period. He told me that all of our problems could be solved if the US Government would give one million dollars to every man, woman, and child that is a citizen of this country.

Simple math tells me that there are just about 350-Million people in the USA. That means the feds would have to shell out three hundred fifty million dollars. Though at first it sounded like a very good idea, when I digested and processed that information, it was easy to see that having a country of instant millionaires wouldn’t be such a good idea.

The personal income tax on one million dollars would be in the neighborhood of 33%. So one third ($333,000) would be returned to the government the following tax year. That in itself is significant, because even before the very first tax return is ever filed, the consumer goods taxes would blow the roof off. States and cities that currently charge a 5% sales tax, would probably raise the tax structure to around 12%—just to keep up with inflationary counter-measures by the greedy corporations and outsourcing business entities. Corporate America would rise to the occasion; and that $3 can of beans today, would cost $12 tomorrow. To be sure, the labor outlook would be gloomy the first year. Many small business would be forced to close their doors because their suddenly rich employees told the boss to “stuff it”. That creates a chain reaction which slowly shuts down another source of tax revue feeding the hungry corporations and government tax structures. This in turn affects the national debt.

The national debt equals $44,900.00 per person in the United States; which puts that figure around 15-trillion dollars. Our current national debt is creeping past what our Gross National Product earns. That means we are spending more money than what we sell in products. The debt to dollar ratio is getting higher each year, and pretty soon, if the trend continues, the national debt will outsource our own production capabilities. As of February 2012, the national debt represents 96.8% of the Gross National Product. In comparison; in 2000, the ratio was 57.6% [ Oops! Can you say higher taxes, lower service, and inflated corporate consumer commodity prices…? ]

And that is the good news--Now let’s really get into some trends:

America’s population density is predicted to increase to 439-million people by 2050. That means in 38 years there will be an additional 89-million people in the USA. Along with that, the prediction is that the Hispanic-Latino population that today represents 16%, will double to a little over 30% by the year 2050. While Hispanic-Latino, African-American, and Asian-American see a rise in their population growth—the white Caucasian race declines from 79.5%, to 74%. [Hey; that’s not me talking—here’s the link: US Census Demographics ]

So, that means my grand children will be in their forties, their cost of living index will be much more than what we experience today, and the USA will be one third Hispanic-Latino, 13% African-American, and 7.8% Asian-American, with another 46.3% Non-Hispanic-White.

62% of the nations’ children in 2050 is expected to be of a minority ethnicity, and only 38% are of the Non-Hispanic White children--which declines to 56%. What does this trend mean? Better get used to Mexican food, changes in the food manufacturing process, and increased imports, while decreased exports. Are you starting to see the data-streams trending right in front of your face…

Cause and effect is most evident here; and for every trend which creates a cause; there is an equal and opposite trend that has to come around.

Newton’s Third Law;” The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear”; in other words: “To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions

  • Raise taxes, people earn less
  • People that earn less, spend less
  • When people spend less, revenues drop
  • When revenues drop, prices rise
  • When prices rise, less disposable income results
  • Less disposable income, means that less is spent on comfort items,

Taxes Are Raised=Less Income=Less Earnings=Less Spending=Less Sales Taxes=Less Tax Revenues= More Taxes; simple right!

 

So where does this all lead to, and what does it have to do with the New World Order…?

I will summarize it in one single word:

 

“ CONTROL!”

 

  • Control what we earn
  • Control what we eat
  • Control what we drink
  • Control what we spend
  • Control how we spend it
  • Control where we spend it
  • Control how we save it
  • Control how we use it

And if we don’t like that—then make a law that forces us to be controlled by the thing that we don’t like in the first place. If we still don’t buckle down, then control the manner in which we speak out against it; make it “unconstitutional speech”.

 

 

It gets a little weird from here down:

We have a supreme court that gives “Human Rights” to a corporate entity; but cannot give those same rights to a fetus in the womb.

The same supreme court that is sworn to uphold the US Constitution; and yet allows foreign national agitators to stand on America’s street corners and piss on the US flag, and burn it on main street—while telling American citizens that to oppose the “Lawful Constitutional Rights” of these bastards—makes “You and I” the criminals.

The same Supreme court that denies the rights of Oklahoma citizen to add another amendment to THEIR State Constitution outlawing Sharia Law.

[ LINK: News Article By The Huffington Post ]

The same Supreme court that threatens the Governor of Arizona about their constitutional rights to impose immigration polices along the Mexican border.

A system of government that bends at the waist to atheist political activists to remove prayer, and religious symbols from schools, and public buildings; but has the sheer audacity to demand that churches and religious charity groups provide birth control to people that are fundamentally opposed to that principal on the religious grounds that birth control is murder.

A system that refuses to acknowledge “creeping-sharia” as being the single most dangerous threat to the American Constitution, and way of life; and just yesterday gives top-level security clearances to the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

Global warming is always in the data-stream; but lately its been all about “Global Cooling” that is making all the headlines in the world.

Most of Europe is under an icy blanket which has already killed hundreds of people, and forced millions more into shelters. A slice of bread topped with fat and onions; are the what’s keeping some of these folks alive. In placed like Rome, Greece, and much of the United Kingdom; shelters are over-crowded, and the local authorities are telling hospital staff to keep patients, instead of sending them back into the cold to die of hypothermia.

 

Here in the USA, a flue is quickly spreading across the state boundaries. Everyone that I know is suffering from form of the flue, or another. The map below shows what the CDC calls “seasonal flus”: All but three states have been affected; with the heaviest hit areas along the I-70 Interstate corridor that runs from Washington DC into Utah.

A major winter storm system is sweeping through the Midwest causing massive traffic snarls, shutting highways down, and forcing the closure of school and other essential services. Airline service is taking a bit hit, and the trucking industry has come to a near stand-still in the wake of the storms.

Texas and other southwest states are facing droughts this summer. There hasn't been enough snowpack in the Rocky Mountains to supply the Midwest corn-belt, or the southwester underground aquifers, with enough water.  consequence is that farmers will not be able to irrigate their corn and wheat fields. Once again this will affect the supply-side of the equation, and those products will see a price hike this fall, if not earlier. It also affects beef production, but grain-fed cattle need the surplus corn that farmers sell. Beef and other herd-meat products will likewise experience rising prices.

There have been several reports arising out of South America that has alarmed many people. Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Panamanians have recorded what people are terming “Elijah’s Trumpet” call. This is the biblical trumpet blast that will be heard three times around the world before GOD unleashes the evil plagues which kills one third of mankind. A few scattered reports are seen from the USA, but nothing significant so far.

Other indicators

Earthquake are swarming all across the country

There are eleven volcanoes active around the globe

Three cyclone are hammering the Indian ocean

Small Pox, Cholera, and other diseases are rapidly becoming “Totally Resistant To Antibiotics” at an alarming rate. Lets not forget that H1N1 as well as H5N5 are still active right beside Ebola, SARS, and other flu’s creeping around the world. It is just a matter of time before a type of the Spanish Flu of 1913 remerges and becomes another genocidal killer of mankind. Considering the many rouge jihadist scientists that have an axe to grind with America and the West; it would be a devious way to rid the planet of God's children. Imagine a dozen medically infected martyrs arriving on America’s shores with a virus that has a two week incubation period, and then rapidly infects everyone that comes into contact with these people. Go watch the the movie “Contagion” to see what the government response would be. Scary stuff to be sure.

But amidst all of this gloom and doom, there is some good news as well: Survival groups are forming everywhere. Individual preppers are popping-up faster than clap through a whore-house; and The North American Survival Alliance is growing each day. It’s my personal hope that survivalist will embrace this FREE opportunity to reach out to other groups and preppers that are preparing for collapse of society, as well as natural disasters. In these highly unusual times it will be the small groups that flourish when others suffer. The question remains: are you willing to face these coming-times all by yourself, or would it be easier and safer to surround yourself with friends that “Got Yer’ Back” when SHTF.

ALASKA: EARTHQUAKE

Alaska has seen its share of earthquakes over the years. The last “Big Un'” tore the state asunder. Currently the state experiences approximately 5000 earthquakes every month.

Survival Fact Check: Why Belong To A Survival Group

DSC04830

It’s important to remember that even the best laid plans will go south when the world goes south. During a SHTF scenario, it’s a good idea to keep this in mind, and to also remember that having a few other people to “Watch Your Back” is probably the most important survival decision that you will ever make.

The Advantageous of A Small Group:

  • Personal Security
  • Family Security
  • Camp Security
  • Diversity of Ideas
  • Diversity of Planning
  • Foraging Teams
  • Manpower For Camp Chores
  • Communications Among Team Members
  • Increased Alert-Notification of SHTF Events
  • Companionship
  • Friendship
  • Cohesion of Mindset
  • Cohesive Training Opportunities
  • Increased Inter-Family Relationships

The Alaska Watchmen Group is a tight knot family of survivalist that have understood what we will be facing in the future. Each of us has come to trust each other based on the simple mantra; “We Got Your Back!”—and we mean it. That is something that many other groups wish that they had, but can’t seem to find.

For the lonewolf survivalist out there trying to live and survive in a post-apocalyptic world all by themselves, the danger factor is exponentially increased as each day goes by.

Imagine yourself trying to live in a world that just experienced the worst natural or man-made disaster in recorded history. All of the societal rules just went out the window, and it’s a “Dog-Eat-Dog” world out there. There is no law enforcement, fire department, or emergency service to come to your aid. The only thing that you have going for you, is that you are away from the big cities, and hopefully won’t be touched by whatever situation has forced you to Bug Out.

the problem arises then; that you will not be alone out there. There will be other people trying to survive along side of you; and they might not be to keen on the idea of sharing the area and its resources with you. This is definitely a situation that must be addressed with due haste; for to do otherwise—is to invite death.

The hardest part about fining likeminded people is knowing where to look, and what to look out for. The second most difficult job is actually getting off the couch and making it happen.
