This is a quite abbreviated as this week I’ve been swamped with work – drawings, drawings, drawings, and drawings. Each one is simple, but it’s meticulous work and I don’t want to have to go through a dozen rounds of revisions because I rushed and missed something.
>>>>>=====<<<<<
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.

Bayou Renaissance Man: The cult of death is on our streets
This is of particular importance when it comes to our own safety and security. The presence of an active population of Santa Muerte devotees in or near your area is a guarantee that crime is on the increase there, and will almost certainly become more violent, predatory and vicious. Law enforcement professionals with whom I’ve recently spoken tell me that they can’t say this out loud, because it’s not politically correct in our “woke” day and age: but they all agree that they’ve encountered murders and torture scenes where the crime was specifically committed with reference to Santa Muerte (i.e. invoking her name, including carving it into the bodies of victims; chanting her praise while raping, torturing and killing victims; and taking body parts of the victims to decorate her shrines).
Folks, be on the lookout. This is a real and present danger to our security in our homes and neighborhoods. Santa Muerte’s devotees are violent, vicious and without remorse or compassion. If you see or hear any evidence that they’re active near your home, you should be “upping your game” to cope with that threat; and, if possible, you should remove yourselves from the danger zone. That’s your choice, of course. Just remember that if you live in an area controlled by “wokeness”, any effort to defend yourself against this cult and its followers may be used against you in a court of law.
Ah, diversity.

Testing The Threshold – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info)
The threat is, then, cancel culture – if you fail to accede, they go after your job, etc. But that too can backfire. Threaten someone’s family, threaten their livelihood, and that can backfire… spectacularly.
And then things get very messy.

So what can we do? What SHOULD we do? Exactly what we are doing, that’s what. Watch, make sure that you, your families, and your like minded neighbors are in as good a position for weathering the coming storm as you can be. Have food, water, and shelter taken care of. Make sure you have skills in as many fields as possible: know some medicine, how to grow food, how to repair things. Those skills you don’t have, make friends with those locally who do have them. Make sure you aren’t a freeloader- bring skills to the table that those others will need. Store your wealth in things that aren’t measured in dollars. In other words, don’t put all of your eggs in the stock market, in cash, or the bank. When the economy collapses, all of that will become worthless. Instead, own land, own tangible things that are useful like a home, precious metals, tools, ammunition, canning supplies, and other things that are useful in trade.

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?

I wonder. If you catch several of these on a sheet… cut the sheet up, carefully, and put one hornet on a new sheet each. Then disperse. See if you can depopulate an entire area of the SOBs.

While I still have a voice, I say I disagree. What is good for Mayor Bloomberg is also good for us even though we don’t have a security detail of retired police officers. We are the thousands of honest citizens who will defend ourselves today. We are the one-out-of-a-dozen adults who are carrying concealed in public. Honest citizens like us are the defenders of our family, our friends, and our neighbors.

Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
War – NATO Beaten By “A Restaurant Owner & A Bunch Of Convicts”? | ZeroHedge
So what will NATO do now? They will double down, and then again. And at the end of the “doubling down road” lie nuclear weapons. Not Russian nukes, because as my friend Wayne wrote the other day, their high-precision hypersonic missiles make nukes look crude and primitive, Middle Ages territory. But NATO/US never developed such weapons. They spent 10+ times as much money on weapons, still do, and -comparatively – ended up with bows and arrows.
Nuclear bombs are good only to create widespread panic and destruction. But that includes your own destruction, because of Mutually Assured Destruction protocols. Which also go back almost as far as the bow and arrow. If you fire a nuclear missile, one very much like it will land on your head a few minutes later. End of story, end of you.
I have maintained for a while now that the Globalists see the Jab Narrative falling, as it had to sooner or later. And thus, what better way to hide the effects of the Jab on lowering birth rates, increasing death rates, etc., than to start a world war? On which all these effects will be blamed.
