Nitzakhon Note: This got very long and IMHO it’s becoming daunting to read in one go. After this one I’m going to, as length demands, start doing two such posts a week when it is called for. The Sunday one will be this full one, and then if necessary I’ll do a hump day one which will be just new articles but will have a linkback to the Sunday one. So, for example, below you will find permanent links to books, etc., while the mid-week one will omit those. Unless people comment they want to keep them in both.

First, I am merely an “enlightened amateur”. Please vet & check on your own. Caveat emptor. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
Second, I fear spicy time is very close, 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:
- Mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt. Vanity has no place in survival.
- Develop a meatspace network of people that are likeminded: cultivate your community ties and build 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.
A link on that point; An early warning system concerning the people around us (embedded quote):
The covid bull**** did us all a favor. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out for a minute. All the people demanding more lockdowns, that the unvaccinated be punished, that vaccine passports be required, that mask mandates remain in place forever, and all that **** are all speaking loudly and openly about it. Those are the people who are a threat to anyone who wants to remain free. They are the people who will report your activities to the government. They are the secret police.
And please follow both me, Nitzakhon, on Gab… as well as my blog host Granite Grok and also on Telegram Tommy Robinson Official (I post there as “D” – one of several with that same initial, but I’m there) plus his Urban Scoop site. And don’t forget my posts sometimes get cloned on American Reveille as well.

A note about any grain storage: beware Indian meal moths. I’m having to clear out ALL my grains because the little bastards got in and got frickin’ everywhere before I realized it. Freeze any new purchases for at least 72 hours and IMHO seal each bag, double, in a Ziploc style double-bag to contain any survivors. And if you get them, go through everything – and I mean everything – ASAP. Don’t let them infest everywhere like I did.

7 Prepping Items FEMA Will Confiscate When SHTF – Ask a Prepper

I was impressed, though not in a good way, that they explicitly mention fertilizer. That’s some serious attention to detail, and it foresees their taking from you your ability to raise your own food as supplemented with fertilizer for better growth.

Short of years and untold wealth, you cannot possibly be fully prepared for everything (I have to keep reminding myself of that). 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?

Will China Joe Bail out Beijing With Your Life Savings? – Granite Grok

At the time I actively commented on the local paper’s comments and criticized this – and I was struck by how fast I got replies asking me why I didn’t trust the “full faith and credit” of fedgov and castigating me for being unpatriotic. Almost as though talking points had been issued beforehand.

Through The Shepherd Group I have an AI program on my cell phone that scans it looking for intrusions. The other day it picked up attempts at someone trying to be the “man in the middle” – and blocked it. They also recommend a secure core type VPN (I use Protonmail VPN – my only complaint is that sometimes data reception “hangs” and I need to disconnect and reconnect to reset it) that routes through countries that have strong privacy protections like Sweden, Iceland, and Switzerland.
If you reach out to them, please tell them you heard about them through me, NITZAKHON. They’re good people, and I’ve done some fairly high-value business through them and they’ve delivered.

Wrap-up commentary if I am moved to do so:
Speculative IMHO. But remember something that I keep repeating: these people are missionaries. Their religion is to reduce the earth’s population and rule over those who remain. They truly believe they are better / smarter / more noble / more educated, etc., than we hoi polloi. And to create paradise, which their Marxianic Zeal states is possible to do, plus to (cue reverb) Saaaaaave the plaaaaanet, they’re willing to kill billions.
(Video embedded in my essay here.)
They’ve already been willing to kill over 100 million. What’s another zero or so. It’s just individuals. Remember that to a committed Socialist:
Remember, in socialist societies, an individual’s worth is measured, not by being a unique person made in the image of God, but by that person’s utility to the state. If you’re no longer useful and, worse, if are an economic drain on society, you’ve got to go.
Let alone if your existence is killing the planet. *cough bullsh*t cough*
So killing one man as a useful weapon to advance The Cause? No problem at all.
