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.
FYI, here’s a link to the last Survival Sunday.
NOTE: This one is not as “full” as I’d like. Work demands.

The ONE REASON America Can Have Another Civil War – Flopping Aces
Some good points, but… I disagree that The Potato won’t fight. He – well more precisely his puppeteers – won’t fight America’s actual enemies, but instead they WILL fight red-state Americans on terms that would, from here, “make Genghis Khan blush.”

Oddments – random thoughts on prepping:
The only thing I can think of in this last-minute dash to get this posted is this: I’ve found a couple dozen short pieces of steel rebar by the road and have been judiciously sprinkling them in the woods we own.
Have fun with the metal detector, Fedbois.

The disturbing reality of America’s future (grayzoneactivity.com)
The unsettling reality is that America in the not-too-distant future is going to have a lot in common with partial-collapse societies of Eastern Europe and Latin America where gangs have more power and influence than the government; where politicians pass the laws but gangs enforce the rules.
This is the Gray Zone America you should be preparing for — not quite collapsed, but not quite standing.

What better way to hide the looming “died suddenly” tsunami (and birth dearth) than to mask it with a nuclear war? When radiation is flying, society has collapsed with smoldering cities, and plague, hunger, and death stalk the land… who will notice the death spirals and people who don’t wake up?

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?

Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
Pandemic Report: Has Ageism Become the New Eugenics? – Everything Zoomer
A society has two orientations, to wit either the Individual is supreme, or the Collective (State). America is founded on the former. That’s being pushed towards the latter. Remember (worth reading in its own right):
However, a disease that specifically targets old and sick people is a useful tool for a socialist country that has a surfeit of old and sick people burdening the medical and welfare systems. We already know that countries such as England routinely deny treatment to the very old or the very sick. They do this because they’re no longer contributing to the system. For that reason, they’re viewed as deadweight, and not worth saving.
Remember, in socialist societies, an individual’s worth is measured, not by being a unique person made in the image of God, but by that person’s utility to the state. If you’re no longer useful and, worse, if are an economic drain on society, you’ve got to go.
And more on this:
Pandemic Report: Has Ageism Become the New Eugenics? – Everything Zoomer
The Journal itself recently published a guide to rationing health care during COVID-19, and age factors into it. While the paper recommends ventilators should go first to those most likely to survive – regardless of age – it notes the decision should be based not just on saving a life but saving “the most life years,” meaning younger people with a longer life expectancy would have an advantage.
It’s society that matters, not the individual, to these people:
Dyck sees no malicious intent behind the agonizing triage decisions that loom, only that eugenic-like arguments are at work in deciding who is most valuable to society.
It was Ezekiel Emanuel who talked about only those productive being worth saving – the very young still need years of education and care are not, nor are the very old are on their way out anyway.
Life unworthy of life. Somehow it sounds better in the original German.

Delta Airlines recently introduced a special half-fare rate for wives accompanying their husbands on business trips.
Anticipating some valuable testimonials, the publicity department of the airline sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who had used the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.
Responses are still pouring in asking, “What trip?”
Followed, no doubt, by a boom in divorce attorney business.

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.
