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. I know this is a long post; I am attempting to put out a lot of information as a resource. Read or skip sections depending on your interests.
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, which is a good site to check out in general.

How to Use Potassium Iodide After a Nuclear Emergency – (theorganicprepper.com)
If you can’t find KI pills, kelp pills are IMHO a good second choice. Of course, the best route is to incorporate iodine supplementation into your diet on an ongoing basis so that your thyroid already has a lot of it. I give my kids about 300 % of the RNA daily. Not overly heavy – see Japan’s intake – but enough to be reasonably sure that in case of an “event” their thyroids are full up. Radioactive iodine has a half-life of about eight days, so to get back down to below 10% is about a month of extra supplementation.

The country is done. The first article details the corruption and election fraud has eliminated any hope at the ballot box. Our economy has collapsed. Our people have lost the will to work. The people who still are working are vilified and taxed to death. Whoever was vaccinated and boostered is living on borrowed time. Our national security is gone in order to destroy our culture. The rant could continue but the point is still the same: the Deep State killed our country. And we allowed them.

I learned that if your head, hands, and feet are – at least – not cold, your core will be fine. And that’s what’s critical.
>>>>>=====<<<<<
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?

Please check out my MEMES collections; last one here. Mockery, ridicule, and the wrapping of uncomfortable truths inside humor can penetrate the cognitive shields of normies far more effectively – IMHO – than dry facts and figures.
