I’m back. I can’t say everything’s perfect, but thus far there’s respite on the home front. I don’t think I’ll be in divorce court… at least not soon. And given what I fear is coming, and how soon, by the time the home front explodes again, everything else will too – thus, a moot point.

This post by Surak is must-read. Especially the Jab-related stuff and what multiple labs have found in the Jab. In general I strongly urge you to peruse him regularly. In addition to the Grok, of course! 🙂

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.
And please follow both me, Nitzakhon, on Gab… as well as my blog host Granite Grok and also on Telegram Tommy Robinson Official plus his Urban Scoop site. And don’t forget my posts sometimes get cloned on American Reveille as well.

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?

Deep State / Coming Tyranny / WEF / Globalists (broad):
BIC Digs Deeper – Vox Popoli (voxday.net)
The entire course of human history is one of repetitive waves of would-be immortals desparing (sic) at the Law of Nature, rebelling against their Creator, and sacrificing massive quantities of innocent mortals to evil supernatural beings in inevitably futile attempts to transform themselves into gods and thereby escape death.
Everything evil that is not driven by hedonism, greed, and attention-seeking is driven by fear of death. And the more one satiated one is of the first three, the more completely one succumbs to the fourth. Tolkien knew this, he wrote about this, and that is why the evil would-be immortals of today want him to be forgotten.
Does this not, precisely, capture the Globalists now? Obsessed with their own superior intellects, pleasure, greed – let alone echoing Sauron’s desire to dominate all life – and with their drive for trans-humanism and connecting their minds to the net, thus preserving their own intellects past the great veil?
Know your enemy.

Shortages (broadly):
Bad news for America’s farmers
The United States has been self-sufficient in food for many years. It probably still will be, despite droughts and other challenges. However, it won’t have anywhere near the same surplus of foods to export to other nations: and in the light of famine and other food production challenges and bottlenecks elsewhere, that could be literally catastrophic for some nations. It could lead to the rationing, or even non-availability, of some foods here in order to supply them to others who need them more (in the opinion of the bureaucrats responsible for such allocations).

That would not help things (though my understanding is there’s a tentative 11th hour agreement).

Even if this is averted, so many logistics & supply threads are snapping IMHO it’s only a matter of time before the network starts collapsing from something or another.

Enemedia:
[T]he almost exclusively liberal reporters staffing mainstream media newsrooms don’t care about fairness, accuracy or truth. All they want, she said, is to advance a liberal agenda while tamping down the voices of conservatives who dare to call them out.
“They see themselves not as journalists, not as reporters, not as investigators but as activists, as advocates, as political operatives, as gatekeepers, as arbiters of truth,” she said. “They believe they can defy reality if they stick to their talking points, censor, attack and discredit those with dissenting views.”
Once you understand that the enemedia has been fully subverted, so much makes sense. Remember The Rules:
- It doesn’t matter what’s true, it’s what you can get people to believe.
- If you control the information flow, you control what people believe.
- Most people are emotional believers; convince them emotionally and facts & logic will not sway them.

(Pic from the link)
I don’t think it’s months. Without electricity there’s no running water, no refrigeration, no fuel pumping. Give any large city a week – just a week – without power and they’ll turn on each other like rats in a flood. And a quote from the above link (formatting and link in original; italics in the original are now underlined instead):
The veneer of civilization is very, very thin right now, particularly after all the stresses and strains of the past few years. If this goes on, it’ll develop tears, gaps and holes so large that in large parts of our country, it’ll effectively cease to exist. In parts of Europe like the worst of the banlieues of France, and in a number of large American inner-city ghettoes, that’s already happened.
And yet, when I point this out to people, there’s always some version of “but that’s not possible”… so give me Independence Hall 1976:
In 1776 brave men pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for the sake of freedom. Give me men and women of that character, that caliber – willing to take a stand, to fight whether by words or more.
Give me men – and women – like these. People who believe in LIBERTY, in FREEDOM, and the Constitution. The Declaration is the WHY, the Constitution is the HOW… and they, plus a solid Judeo-Christian foundation in society are enough.

Over The Past Week We Have Gotten Several Steps Closer To A Nuclear War With Russia
Fall Like A Thunderbolt – by William Schryver (substack.com)
Medvedev issues apocalyptic warning to West over Ukraine — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union
At this point, I’d be surprised if the Russians don’t start hitting targets outside of Ukrainian territory before the end of the year. The neocons wanted this war and I expect they’re going to get it good and hard. It’s not as if Putin and his generals don’t know who has been pushing for this since before 2008.
The West still does not understand that this conflict is an existential war for Russia. The Crimea, the Donbass and elsewhere in Eastern Ukraine are integral parts of Russia. They will never be given up, just as the USA would not give up California, Virginia or Florida. And it will not allow anywhere in the Ukraine to be a military, nuclear or bioweapons threat to Russia, just because members of the violently-installed US-regime in Kiev have been paid to agree to that. Would the US allow it in Canada or Mexico? Russia is not going to give up just because of some NATO mercenaries and NATO arms. If the West tries to wipe Russia off the face of the Earth, Russia will do the same to the West. And it has supporters all over the world. Wait till China takes back Taiwan, as it is preparing to do.
IMHO if this escalates much more, China will move on Taiwan. Without any doubt.

HT Peter Grant:
Nothing creates poverty. Poverty is the beginning state. It takes zero effort to be poor. It does take a lot of work not to be poor.
If the State makes it easy to be poor, with no negative consequences for not working, the rest of that society will gradually go the same way. Eventually, there’ll be a minority of hard workers supporting a majority of non-workers . . . until the hard workers realize they’re carrying the load for everybody, and refuse to carry it any longer.
I.e., the plotline of Atlas Shrugged. It’s a good book, with some excellent concepts, though IMHO she got paid by the word. Brevity, woman.

Wrap-up commentary if I am moved to do so:
I remember reading Thomas Sowell’s incredible work Vision of the Anointed and also Intellectuals and Society, and they both are captured in Asimov’s statement, above. It this arrogance, this hubris, to think that they – the uber-elite – are more qualified to run your life than you. And since most are liberals, they are ruthlessly libidinous about that possibility.
Lisa Simpson Disease Plagues Scientists – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Consider this, using “theragrippers” on PCR tests to administer the Covid Jab without informed consent or even your knowing about it. This is the arrogance – the HUBRIS – of the Elites writ large. Nemesis follows. Alas for the children whose parents had good intentions. And their posterity.
