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.

RTWT and understand that the entire thing of “safe and effective” is built on lies. As if you didn’t know that already. Particularly telling to me was (bolding added):
“Patient no. 11621327” was more than a mere number. He was a human being found dead from a stroke in his apartment just three days after the second dose. Typically, with a novel product in trial, any death – even one not so sudden – makes the product suspect until it is proven innocent. Yet in this case, Pfizer simply dismissed the death as not related to the vaccine, just as the company did with Patient #11521497, who died 20 days later from cardiac arrest.
If ever a drug needed a Black Boxed Warning, this stuff was it. E.g., out of the 42,086 Pfizer recipients in the first three months of the trials, 1,223 died. That’s 2.9%.
If a medication you’re taking carries risk that warrants a black box warning, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t take it. But the risks and benefits of a medication are something your healthcare provider should discuss with you.
And yet it was presented as SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. And nobody ever really talked to anyone taking it. I’ve watched, while standing in line for a scrip, people go behind the screen, sit down, the tech goes in with a needle, and nary a word is exchanged. Some get the Jab and the flu shot at the same time. And then just stroll out.

A Bowl Of Peanut Oil Catches 7 Mice In 1 Night – Motion Camera Footage
A good friend had some of his preps destroyed by mice. And not just this… but dead mice, set out, can attract bigger things. 🙂 Or, frozen and ground up, serve as plant food as you garden – or into your compost mix. The uses are endless.
=+=+=
Oddments – random thoughts on prepping:
- Keeping in mind limits on funds, storage space, etc., should gas masks be a part of your mix? I have one, with several spare filters. I think I’ll be ordering more this week.
- Save rubber bands from vegetable bundles.
- I now look at everything with a “how could I use that in a SHTF situation” mentality.
- If you have, or are getting, chickens or ducks or any animals – would it be an idea to coordinate with neighbors on breeds so as to, once in a while, exchange and avoid inbreeding possibilities?
- The same with plants. If you have people planting in your network, coordinate species types so that – longer term – you can do seed swaps and reduce inbreeding risks.
- I am trying an experiment in salt-drying a few pieces of fish. In response to an inquiry on Gab about that, I was sent this 1957 article on the topic. PDF.

I can’t say it too strongly. GET OUT OF “BLUE” BIG CITIES. NOW.
I’ve said many times before that if you value your safety and security, and that of your loved ones, you should get out of big cities, particularly “blue” ones under the control of a left-wing progressive administration. Again and again I’ve heard replies that it simply isn’t possible, that family ties prevent it, that “I can’t afford it”, and so on.
Well, that’s your call – but the reality of city life is that it’s getting more violent and more dangerous by the day. No, that’s not an exaggeration.

>>>>>=====<<<<<
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?
As I point out repeatedly, nobody’s going to be “perfectly” ready. But having resources put away, a positive & adaptive attitude, will be critical.

How to Disappear Completely Without a Trace and Never Be Found Again | Ex CIA Jason Hanson
Interesting. Given today’s connected world I think this is a lot harder than presented.
Anyone remember the movie Eraser? How, in the beginning, one of the people in the protection program went back to his favorite restaurant because he was dying for his favorite dish? Not succumbing to things like that would have to be at the top of the list, along with cutting off all – and I mean ALL – contact with people important in your life. Practices, too, would have to be severed. Say you’re a very religious <fill in the blank>… you could never go back to that, at least not where anyone could see you.

Murders in US Are Very Concentrated, and They Are Becoming Even More So
While murders and other violent crime in Los Angeles County and some other major urban areas have spread out to parts of those counties that didn’t previously experience much crime, nationwide murders appear to be coming even more concentrated in a small set of counties. When it comes to murder, there are three types of counties in the United States. Most counties experience no murders, a smaller set where there are a few murders, and then a tiny set of counties where murders are very common. In 2020, 52% of counties (with 10% of the population) had no murders. 68% of counties have no more than one murder, and about 18% of the population. These counties account for only 2.6% of all murders in the country. The worst 1% of counties (the worst 31 counties) have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders. The worst 2% of counties (62 counties) contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 73% of murders. But even within those counties, the murders are very heavily concentrated in small areas.
=+=+=
Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
A recent email from a NH-based reader asks a fundamental question: What happens when, aside from a handful of known-to-us persons, we descend into a zero trust environment. And I mean zero trust. Watching with a “stink eye” as you grocery shop, not trusting anyone to stay in their shopping lane. Being in Cooper’s “Condition Orange” anywhere you go outside your home. Even being a little jittery (Condition Yellow) inside your home. E.g., the other day I was working alone as nobody else was home (home office). Wife at work, kids at school. And I heard someone on the front steps. No doorbell ringing, no package left. Why was someone there at all? We’re not on a cross-street, there’s no traffic. A few weeks ago we had a car parked in front of our house at night that, when we came out to look, they tore off.
Consider the spate of “polar bear” and other mob-attacks started with incredible ferocity right from the get-go by persons of a particular demographic. Now let me be clear: while that demographic has a massive chip on their shoulder, it’s not every single one. But be that as it may – words are meaningless, even actions are suspect, but patterns are key. With regret at the necessity, it is patterns that we see that we must heed.
But this is broader than that. This is about, literally, being suspicious of everyone we meet. Not trusting the police to do their jobs professionally, but – as in so many countries around the world – wondering who is on the take, or what cops will do what’s RIGHT vs. who will just follow orders. Same for the fire department; can you really count on them to come? Can you – especially in light of the Covid fusterclark and Jab drive – really trust doctors and nurses to do what’s best for you as a patient, or what’s best for their and/or their hospital’s bottom line? (Cough Ventilators and Run-Death-Is-Near cough.)
Can you trust that the pilot of the plane is truly fit to fly? There are concerns being voiced about cardiac patterns in Jabbed pilots that should keep them grounded. Can you trust that the pharmacist will not turn you in for getting an Ivermectin prescription? Can you trust that the schools will not force-vaccinate your kids, even though you’ve told them in writing with an acknowledgement from them to not do so? Let alone the WOKE sh*t they’re pushing into ever-younger minds against your own beliefs and practices. (I’d home school but the wife won’t help. Ironically, she sees nothing wrong or approaching despite her being brought up in, and living through, the USSR’s collapse.)
And as you attempt to ping your neighbors for community groups and possibly prep-minded people, can you trust them to not rat you out the moment the government puts a bounty on people who might be “hoarders” and thus have extra stuff that needs to be forcibly shared?
I have a good Marine friend; he’s told me that I’m one of the few people in this world that he’d trust with a gun behind him in a SHTF situation. A deep honor. Likewise. Alas that he’s hours away.
In a zero-trust world, everyone is a potential enemy until proven otherwise. Every noise a possible attacker coming. Every traffic encounter a possible fight or gun-fight. How many will have the resiliency to cope with that? Or will they, as the chaos of that inevitably uncoils and strikes our collective society, be willing to throw freedom itself at the feet of those who – offering stability and some form of normalcy – put forth the hand of Socialism? Having deliberately engineered that zero-trust world for precisely that purpose…
