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 posts sometimes get cloned on American Reveille as well.

Omicron is highly contagious, yet mild. This modified Omicron may be equally contagious, and 80% lethal. If it gets out [is released], more than half the population of our country will be at severe risk, and that’s only among those who are “vaccinated”. Our government not only sanctions this, it funds it.
At the link is the pre-print paper PDF. Seven Hairy Hells. And about Omicron:
Carazo et al, Quebec, JAMA, < 1% risk for Omicron hospitalization for unvaccinated naturally immune from prior COVID-19 group. Clearly the winner. Vaccination not help anyone do better than an unvaccinated COVID-19 recovered person.@PeterMcCullough
I’ve had Covid and have antibodies. I caught it from my son (through my wife), and I’m sure my daughter had it too. I’m 90% sure we’ve all had a second bout as well with Omicron – as I think we had the Delta version. We’re protected. My only concern is government interference… and my Covidian wife going through with it anyway. But that seems, B”H, to be a stable situation.

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?

An excellent video by Bill. And it reminded me of something from my essay, Fear is the Mind Killer… – Granite Grok, wherein I discussed the history book The Savior Generals and how dread was such a factor in the belief that the defenders were going to lose:
Dread has an enormous impact on behaviors. I just finished The Savior Generals by Victor Davis Hanson. In it, he discusses five wars that seemed lost and the military leaders that stepped forth and saved them. A specific thing from his conclusion about common elements of the five situations was that dread of an enemy that seemed unstoppable at the time was a critical factor to the dire state they were in (bolding added):
Some enemies are not just formidable but abjectly terrifying. Before the victory at Marathon, the Greeks, or so the historian Herodotus remarked, feared even to look upon the Persians. … The chronically outnumbered Byzantines likewise felt such apprehension….
By 1864, a growing number in the demoralized North were beginning to believe the myth that the South simply had bred a better warrior class… In Korea, the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of Communist Chinese created sheer panic among American troops. [In Iraq] many in America felt there were simply few antidotes either to suicide bombers or improvised explosive devices…
What is remarkable in all these cases was how little such dread affected generals like Themistocles, Belisarius, Sherman, Ridgway, and Petraeus. They did not belittle their enemies’ fighting prowess, but simply saw that their own side’s prior problems were not due to larger-than-life foes…
I see the same thing now in our war on the Left. We’re terrified that it’s hopeless. It’s not hopeless.

The food situation, here and worldwide
This blog post is not, repeat, NOT designed to make you afraid, or scare you into “prepping” if you’re not already there, or anything like that. Its intention is to simply present facts, and let you make up your own mind what you need to do to prepare for the shortages that are coming. In the USA, there will undoubtedly be shortages of some food groups, and much higher prices for others; but we’re fortunate to live in a country that is more likely than others to produce enough food to keep most people alive. In other parts of the world, that’s anything but the case. Genuine, worldwide famine is now being forecast by the United Nations and other authorities, and they’re not joking.

CEO Says San Francisco is a ‘City of Chaos’ Where Retail Workers Are ‘Terrified’
The progressive CEO of a clothing store chain announced yesterday that he would be closing the San Francisco store because of the frequent break ins by gangs of thieves. Davis Smith who runs the active-wear chain Cotopaxi, described San Francisco as a “city of chaos” and one in which his retail workers are “terrified.” He also described how practical efforts to deal with the problems, such as private security, don’t help because the thieves have learned they won’t be physically stopped or arrested.

Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
Nuremberg 2 now. For the politicians. For the pharma employees. For the doctors and nurses and pharmacists who pushed this, who denied early treatment, who scorned HCQ and Ivermectin, who ignored ever-mounting evidence of Jab harm. (I had an Ivermectin scrip that I couldn’t fill at ANY local drug store… in retrospect I should have lied and said I was going to somewhere in the world that had a parasite problem.)
And these guys especially:
The Authorities Are Our Enemies – Kunstler
Adding the mRNA shots to the official vaccine schedule will make permanent the liability shield their makers enjoy under the current emergency use authorization (EUA). Pfizer and Moderna are now off-the-hook for any responsibility, unless fraud over the vaxxes is proven in a court of law. Given the vast evidence of harms done by these products, will that be a difficult thing to do? Consider: cases for fraud can be brought in any jurisdiction of the USA, not just in the notoriously corrupt DC federal district court, which does not recognize crime for what it is (crime).
I count this immunizing of pharma as one of the single biggest contributors to where we are today. It removes consequences. To cite Thomas Sowell:
Dr. Campbell is FINALLY realizing what we all knew from February ARSH 2020: This is all 100% intentional, meticulously planned, and has NOTHING to do with keeping people alive and healthy, but rather to make people sick, sterile and DEAD. It is a human population reduction campaign, and the largest crime against humanity ever executed by orders of magnitude. This is Our Lady’s words, “Entire nations will be annihilated…” playing out in realtime. WE. WERE. WARNED.
