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.

The Importance of Silence After the SHTF – The Organic Prepper
If it’s truly SHTF, my generator goes OFF. A roaring generator means power. Power means someone who thought ahead, and that person may have food, etc. It’ll go on, randomly, because we have a well. But not on long. Besides, for the first week or so, just about everyone will have theirs on so I’ll be a small fish. It’s a month or so in that it becomes very dangerous.
And in that article are important points about having lookouts, and keeping a firearm with you. And being situationally aware even when you’re doing something. Related to generators specifically:

Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.” Now the temple was crowded with men and women; all the rulers of the Philistines were there, and on the roof were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform. Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.” Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.

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?

2022 birth decline in Germany and Sweden explained by ‘vaccines’ (freewestmedia.com)
The seasonally adjusted monthly TFR of Germany dropped around 14 percent. In Sweden, the corresponding TFR dropped almost 10 percent. “There is no association of the fertility trends with changes in unemployment, infection rates, or Covid-19 deaths. However, there is a strong association between the onset of vaccination programmes and the fertility decline nine months after this onset.

Self-defense (broad) & Hunting:
12 More Incidents in Which Lawful Gun Owners Stopped Criminals
In a case called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the Supreme Court in June struck down concealed carry permitting frameworks in several states that effectively prohibited ordinary Americans from carrying firearms in public for self-defense.
Since then, residents of those states have applied for concealed carry permits in droves, showing just how willing many of them always have been to exercise their Second Amendment rights when the government no longer prohibits it.
In the best of all possible worlds, it’d be Constitutional Carry everywhere.

Gag. Retch. Look at the emotional heart-string agitprop they’re doing now.
Now, having said that, yes there are lots of things to do. Teaching kids how to react for one. I’ve told my kids to BREAK WINDOWS and GET OUT. Run. Lone kids dashing for the woods while zig-zagging will be, IMHO, far less likely targets than a room full of quiet kids hiding in closets.
But you know what will come next: gun control law proposals. Take a look at the mental / verbal Mobius strip logic:
California’s standard capacity magazine ban shows their (evil) path forward
In one case the judge ruled against an injunction because “The clear reading of the second amendment does not protect the right to manufacture firearms”. In this case the Judge and the state are arguing that the plaintiffs must provide some sort of historical reference showing that the text and traditions of the second amendment support the manufacture of firearms.
The actual opinion says that the government must show that there is a gun control law that banned or limited the manufacturing of firearms by individuals in 1791. Thus the Judge has turned the argument upside down. They have again made it so the plaintiff must prove that the constitution covers their claim via text and tradition.
In California they are doing the same thing. The state has stated that since the second amendment doesn’t mention magazines and because magazines are not required for a firearm to function that they are ok to ban magazines.
So basically, they’re playing a semantics game that YES, you’re allowed to own, but NO, nobody has the right to manufacture. Do not be surprised if they also try YES, you’re allowed to KEEP ARMS, but not to actually own them… so they’re now deemed to be on loan from The State.

So the Biden Administration doesn’t want US citizens to own guns. They blame all crimes committed using guns as the fault of the guns and not the individuals using the guns. This recent legislation relates to younger Americans who want to own guns. This has been their right for centuries until this bill was signed by Biden.
Anti-gun activists are willing to take away gun owners’ rights one bite at a time.

Climate Justice Ten Commandments
On my old blog I had an essay, Hardwired for Faith, and I truly believe that He made mankind with a predisposition, indeed a need, to believe in something bigger than one’s own self. Absent a conscious faith in Him, our soul quests for something to grasp onto. And it’s climate. It’s Socialism. It’s The Jab. That’s why, whether it’s Climate-tards, Socialists, or Covidians, they’re impervious to anything. This is their cult, their faith, their reason for being that connects them to something bigger. Just like The Jab itself is a Rite of Passage.

1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White Men – ResumeBuilder.com
I want to relate my own experience. Back in college my GPA was above 3.7/4.0. Engineering. But as I’ve oft related, I’m pasty white; absent my kippa, which I only started to wear perhaps ten years ago as my faith returned and swept past its prior high-water mark, I could easily walk into a KKK rally without a second glance.
Now granted, I was a typical introvert engineer at the time. Socially awkward, but again, that’s engineering student SOP. I couldn’t find a job for love or money. But others did – women, minorities, etc. One woman got five offers in the space of a week. I had better grades than they did, better experience than they did, and I knew this because I helped many of them write their resumes. The first time I went to the career center the guy asked me who I’d had do my resume; it was truly “professionally done”. I did it. Me, myself, and I.
Finally, after I graduated and was living at home again, I got a job – only because my former boss contacted someone they knew networking-style.
It was then that I realized there really was reverse discrimination.
Consider that a Thought Splinter.
=+=+=
Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
In my last post, Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow (see the top of this post), I had a lengthy diatribe about the elections including how we’re starting the circular firing squad of blame. Consider, though:
It was not, IMHO, Trump. Just looking at the crowds at his rallies tells me this. No, it was a combination of swamp rats who would prefer to be in the minority – no real responsibility, just some power, and all that graft opportunity and cocktail parties wherein to hobnob:
Unfixed vote fraud:
For example (italics replaced by underlining, bolding added):
For a state where Republicans held both chambers at the legislature, the attorney general’s office, and the governor’s mansion, one would think that rectifying exploitable or corrupt practices would be easy — but you’d be dead wrong.
Below, you’ll find a few brief points worth noting about the overall sentiment of Republican leadership in Arizona:
First off, the Legislature has had two years to pass laws to reform and strengthen the election process. During the 2021 session (which began before Biden was even inaugurated), lawmakers completely ignored the issue; during the 2022 session, there were two attempts made: the first was killed by Republican Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers, and the second was indefinitely tabled by Republicans Senate President Karen Fann because she “didn’t have the votes” — ultimately the bill died when the session ended this past June. Concerned citizens demanded a floor vote to identify the dissenters, but Fann refused. The Swamp doesn’t rat on the Swamp. (You might recognize “Bowers” for his performance in front of the Jan. 6 Committee or his close friendship with Liz Cheney.)
A party – the GOP – that doesn’t believe its own message or have faith in the American people. A party that pre-emptively surrenders on all fronts.
A GOP that doesn’t believe its own platform:

Understand, as I keep saying, I don’t want spicy time. But since voting is not working, voting is being *ss-raped with a rusty bayonet… what’s the alternative?
