First, remember I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. Please vet & check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
Second, the hour is late and I fear bad times are imminent, but even a month of food, water, etc., puts you well ahead of most of the sheeple. IMHO, set your minimum sights on a three-month period.
Third, two things will be critical for having the best chance of making it through:
- The proper mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt.
- Having a meatspace network of people that are likeminded: start cultivating your community ties and building alliances with neighbors (note: don’t babble about the Jab or globalists or depopulation, or start pointing political fingers when doing this)… and remember, the first rule of PREP CLUB is that there is no prep club.
Fourth, as you read here, note that I present an aggregation of articles that I think are interesting, but I do not have time to vet them. Caveat emptor.

Short of years of preparation and untold wealth, you cannot possibly be fully prepared for everything. But even some preparations, ideally at least 90 days of food, water / water purification, etc., puts you head and shoulders in front of the vast majority of the sheeple who will be in jaw-gaping astonishment when the SHTF. The only relevant questions are:
- When does it start?
- How bad will it get?
- How long will it last?
- What will the aftermath look like?

As I keep saying over and over, the scary thing for me is not that they’re pushing this. Tyrants will tyrant. The scary thing for me is how many sheeple will eat this up wholesale as a good and necessary thing.

Any of us not aligned with the politics of the Left, would have been tried to the full original charges of attempted murder, more than likely convicted and sentenced to the full extent.
I believe this was part of the continuous message sent to the Left: You will not face grave consequences if you perform violence in the name of our politics.
The Left protects its own monolith-style. Again, no country can sustain having such a two-tiered system. Speaking of two-tiered, consider this on the two-tiered enemedia:
When a mass shooting occurs outside the accepted political parameters. – Gun Free Zone
And yes, the race of the shooter (s) is not mentioned and probably won’t be till the news cycle finishes disappearing.
Compare it with the Buffalo Mass Shooting where we had color, motive name and photo of the asshole shooter within 2 hours of the event.
If the shooter ain’t White, the Mass Shooting does not count.

Presented, quick hit style, are some links to specific-topic prepper articles I think are particularly noteworthy. Print them out and start a binder – if the SHTF badly enough you won’t be able to retrieve these off the net or, possibly, even off your computer (I remember one Y2K event I went to – someone was selling survival info on CDs… yeah, useful when the power’s out!):

Through here:
“If pointing an empty gun at your opponent makes him duck, you may live for an extra two seconds-and who knows? I may find another gun, the bad guy may give up, or the ammo fairy may drop me a magazine.”
“If we’re going down a hall and I see the end of a double barrel shotgun, I better communicate to my partner, ‘cause I can be pretty sure it’s not the Easter bunny on the other end.”
“Shoot what’s available, as long as it’s available, until something else becomes available.”
“You can say ‘stop’ or ‘alto’ or use any other word you think will work, but I’ve found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone’s head is pretty much the universal language.”
And more, from somewhere else:
If you’re going to be killed in a gunfight, make sure your opponent beats you to death with your gun, because you’re empty.
Ammo is cheap, life is expensive.

World Stability (broad catch-all):
Russia announces western military buildup to match NATO presence near its borders | Just The News
Step by logical step, the pieces are being set up. And one mis-step, and things get very hot, very quickly. And, as I’ve predicted, if this goes hot, other places will too:
WWIII is already underway. The fact that it is primarily unrestricted rather than military doesn’t change the fact that it is observably underway.
Plan accordingly.
And more:
Given their complete inability to correctly anticipate what Putin – or pretty much any of their other enemies – was going to do previously, what are the odds that they have gotten it right this time? More importantly, most of the people making decisions about the use of US military force have no loyalty to nor concern for the American people or their national interests, so they’re much more willing to take risks than actual Americans would.
