Survival Sunday - PREP Edition - Granite Grok

Survival Sunday – PREP Edition

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.

And please, if you find this useful, forward it to others.

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:

  1. Mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt. Vanity has no place in survival.
  2. 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.

FYI, here’s a link to the last Survival Sunday – SITREP.

Nuclear Disasters: Should You Get Iodide Now?

 

 

Radioactive iodine has a half-life of about eight days.  Assuming a single exchange, the threat from this isotope is more-or-less over 40 days or so after it hits your area.  Other isotopes are far more problematic; e.g., Strontium 90, which has a half-life of over 30 years and which your body thinks is calcium.  So it’s not just radioactive bones, it’s bones that irradiate your bone marrow / stem cells.

On that:

 

 

My speculation is this.  Not just the depopulation that comes from such a war – the Globalists having the hubris to think such a thing is controllable / plannable* – but it’ll be done to mask the coming tsunami of Jab deaths.  With radiation around, with starvation stalking the earth, nobody’s going to notice a growing surge of “died suddenly”.  And then, in the chaos, hunger, and breakdown of nations… the “benevolent hand” of one-world Socialism will be offered as the savior.

* I’m only an amateur historian, but I know that many battles – and even entire wars – have hinged on blind luck or small, overlooked things.  Or things not foreseeable.  For example, something I learned in history about Napoleon’s incursion into Russia and hitting the infamous Russian winter.  Many of his  army’s harness buckles were made from tin, which turns very brittle in the cold (phase change).  Thus his army’s belts and horse harnesses literally snapped in the cold, thus hampering his army’s ability to move and fight.  Nobody could have foreseen this.  The same here: chance and things that can’t be predicted determine battles, and there’s no way to game them all out.  Again, if the globalists are engineering this war – and I believe they are – things will happen on the battlefield and political world that will bring true this saying:

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:

  1. When does it start?
  2. How bad will it get?
  3. How long will it last?
  4. What will the aftermath look like?
