Title: G M's guide to surviving CW2
Post by: G M on September 14, 2019, 07:44:38 PM
It has already started, though most don't recognize it yet. This is an asymmetrical, 4th generation war. There won't be big military clashes between uniformed troops. This is a full spectrum war that includes old and new media propaganda,  economics and politics. What we have seen take place so far is only the very early stages of something that will get much more violent and strange as it progresses.

Core principles:

1. Be armed and trained to defend yourself and your loved ones. The rule of law is already dead and you are on the menu. Plan accordingly.

2. Anticipate systemic infrastructure failures. Things like the electrical grid going down for short or long term, either deliberately or as a byproduct of violence. Have beans/bullets/bandages.

3. Reduce your "attack surface". Be "off grid" as much as possible. Harder to kill you if they can't find you.

4. Urban areas are death zones. Especially on the coasts. Go rural now, if possible. If not, have a plan and a location to get to if your city plunges into uncontrolled violence.


Much more to follow.

Title: The 3 firearms you should own, at the minimum
Post by: G M on September 16, 2019, 01:16:57 PM
Avoid the gunfight, if you can, but the first rule of gunfighting is "have a gun".

If you go to gun forums, you'll often get advice that you must own the latest and greatest weapon systems that cost thousands of dollars and may not be legal where you are currently located. My recommendations are based on weapons that are probably legal most anywhere in the US, decent quality based on the price point (The most BANG for your buck), and when possible has a potential for hunting as well as self defense.

1.The first on the list is the Ruger 10/22. I would advise a Takedown model in stainless steel for ease of transport and resistance to adverse conditions. https://ruger.com/products/1022Takedown/models.html

https://www.weapon-blog.com/2018/06/adapting-your-ruger-10-22-for-home-defense/

https://graywolfsurvival.com/1869/why-22-best-home-defense-weapon/


2. 12 gauge pump shotgun. Much less friendly to the new shooter, but it's flexibility and ballistic effectiveness vastly outweigh the difficulties in learning to run it. During the "Ammo-pocalypse" on the Obama years, 12 gauge shells were the one type of ammunition still available at the stores. It can be used for small game, big game and self defense quite effectively. Obviously, there are many 12 gauge shotguns for sale, this is my current recommendation for the best hunting/self defense/price point option: https://www.mossberg.com/product/maverick-88-security-field-combo-31014/

https://gunprime.com/product/maverick-arms-88-combo-12-ga-mossberg-31014/


3. The snubnose hammerless revolver in .38/9mm or .357
Often ignored as a defensive weapon in current times, it brings many qualities to the table. It does require grip strength that may make it difficult for women or those with physical limitations, but learning to run it under stress and using it in extreme close quarters life or death fights are where it shines. It's also very easy to conceal and carry in non-permissive environments. See the first rule about gunfighting above.

Post by: G M on September 20, 2019, 11:36:01 PM
Buy in bulk. You may wish to purchase with a degree of operational security. Cash at gun shows/gun stores is one option. I recommend using a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency). I prefer the mom and pop shops rather than the big chains.

Ever read about the Shoah and wonder why more Jews didn't try to flee Germany? If you remain in a Blue City/State, you are doing the same thing.

DO NOT LET NORMALCY BIAS GET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY KILLED.

https://recoiljunkie.com/normalcy-bias-can-be-a-deadly-deception/

By 1935 over 100,000 Jews had left Germany, yet an estimated 450,000 wealthy Jewish families remained in Germany and constantly insisted that the worst was over.  They insisted it would return to normal.  We know in hindsight that was a poor decision culminating with mass genocide, but all the warning signs were present.  J-cards were issued and other discriminatory laws put in to place, but everything is alright…right?

Yes, beware the government banning cash and everything being even more trackable and controllable, not just for the reasons given but those are good examples.

I would add, beware of crytocurrencies.  There is so much we don't know.  Very interested in finding out what you learn.  I like the underlying technology of block chain but don't know, therefore don't trust the future value of the currency.  13k per coin currently(?) seems steep to get in.  I tried to learn about bitcoin as an alternative to currency, but if the value is controlled by speculation, it is not controlled at all.

Ammo, yes, if you find people with goods or money at exactly the time you need them, and if you have exactly what they need and are willing to part with what made you secure.  Food?  Yes but it either spoils or isn't very good in the first place?  In a real emergency where you would give it away to save someone, it has a different type of value than investment or store of value.  If you sell it or give it away when it is in severe scarcity, you have less left for your own security, financial and physical.  Gold?  Not performing better than stocks.  People would still have to have money or goods to buy it from you when money might be worthless and the goods they have aren't what you need.  Doesn't increment well.  Real estate was my idea.  People will pay a portion of their income for it no matter how much or how little a dollar is worth.  When you rent it, you receive payment and still own it (Can't do that with ammo).  Worthless of course when law and order and property rights break down.

Yeah, I don't trust any cryptocurrency, but contingency planning should include a collapse of the dollar and/or badthinker unpersons being denied the ability to purchase food and services.

Your post gets me thinking. What is the copper or commodity of demand and scarcity of the next 20-30 years.  Maybe it is copper.  Maybe lithium, rare earth element or seeds to grow super foods.

With copper, water piping is being replaced with other materials, but overall, worldwide demand keeps growing.  Price up 12% this year.  Lithium is down 40% this year.  Maybe that's not it:

At $3 per pound, maybe copper isn't valuable enough to stockpile.  Helium doesn't seem easy to store.  Same for Uranium, plutonium.

What is most useful when regular order collapses?  Food, housing, energy, security.  Water?  What is most easily stored for its value, dividable into workable amounts, hedged against obsolescence?

The search continues...

Reminds me of the oil industry in  Venezuela.  If we the government steal the oil industry , everything else will stay the same only we can keep the profits.  Now of course there are no oil industry profits, no oil, and a country bankrupt in ruin. The people of Venezuela believed "it [economic collapse] can't happen here, we are the richest country in Latin America".

Minneapolis is a majority tenant city:

If you can't enforce rental agreements, the whole system collapses.  One might think, but the houses will still be there.  The government could keep them, eliminate the landlord profit.  Right (sarc.).  Everybody knows the government can't run housing.  The term, 'government run housing' refers to failure.  "Grew up in the projects" means surrounded by failure. "We have a Section 8 house next to us" means trouble.

My argument is that we can't destroy the private housing market without destroying the city.  That argument apparently doesn't worry them.

"It can't happen here."

I am very interested in the Android (TM Google) 'smartphone' set up from open sources without Google apps and without Google sign in.

That said, breaking the addiction won't be fast or easy. 

I break or drown my phone pretty often.  It's pretty amazing that google log in to a replacement phone brings everything back in minutes.  Apple has that too (of course).  I can find emails on gmail, including photos and documents, from more than a decade ago. 

I traded privacy away for function a long time ago.  Now I want privacy back without losing (much) function.

Braxman shows his separate camera with no internet connection, argues against the all in one device.  But people an internet connected camera, and to carry only one device.  Can't those connections be made via VPN?

=====================================
This was suppose to have a copy paste of like 15 paragraphs of contextual information that has nothing to do with the twitter post other than the video haha

======================================
Here’s the context that was suppose to be attached

A brother of mine just dumped this on me about his recent events in Portland.

Very basic background. My friend is a prior service 1st LAR 0311, 0351. Multiple tour combat veteran in the early to late 2000s, then DoE, then was put through selection and went to work for Colonel Green as a team member. Since leaving, he has been doing contract work.

He is an experienced and capable meat eater and the furthest thing from a pussy or coward.

Try to learn from his experiences.

"Me and three of my buddies were in Portland this weekend. We got attacked by antifa. There’s a Twitter video with millions of views on it ended up on Hannity and Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro etc., of us getting beat with bats and rocks the size of cantaloupes thrown at us, getting spit on etc. We were all carrying pistols as well. Opportunity, ability and jeopardy, We were in a deadly force situation and we could easily articulate the use of deadly force, but they had pepper sprayed us. They were using industrial strobe lights on us, etc. We couldn’t PID our target and what lied beyond it, They did a great job of taking our situational awareness away, it was fucking incredible.

Bro my perspective on this changed so much.

The reason we were there, wasn’t to counter protest or some shit, G*** and I****, two of the guys with me, one of which is a bronze star and Purple Heart recipient. They’re both in the hiring process for Portland Police Department. One is from Ohio and one is from Virginia. They both flew in that day just so they could come check out the city before they move their families across the nation.

Something else that I should make perfectly clear. We went to the Federal Courthouse first. There wasn’t a whole lot going on down there. We walked around and took some pictures. Bumped into a sheriff at one point. Talked to him for a while. We asked him if the are riots were over? He said fuck no, they’re trying to fuck a police station up right now on 47th and Burnside, We asked him if we could go and he said yeah it’s still a peaceful assembly it hasn’t been declared a riot yet.... So legit, we walked into this thing blind, hindsight it was stupid on our part, I had no idea that they were like that. If it had been a full-blown riot we would not have went. Bottom line man, if you had ever given me a scenario like this and said hey you’re sober and you have a gun and somebody is hitting you with a bat and throwing rocks at you that could kill you or put you in a coma, You try to get away but they cut you off with a convoy of vehicles and the assault starts again. They impede your movement and beat you with bats...

Would you shoot?

I’d be like, yeah what fucking planet are you from?

But in all the training that I’ve been through my life, I’ve never been in one where in the first five seconds of the scenario you’re blinded with a strobe light and sprayed with pepper spray....That changes everything, they were throwing these rocks from 15 feet back in the crowd, you couldn’t see who the fuck through it, etc. things like that....It’s just a good talking point for guys that carry concealed, you need to think through all these different scenarios.

It got way worse after that video ended, they chased us for 11 city blocks, They had a convoy of about 25 vehicles that cut us off at the next intersection, They had scouts on the corner with radios they had a drone following us, they had a bull horn calling us Nazis and the crowd was following a red strobe light that was up in the air on a stick, so they would announce Nazis and then people would follow the red strobe light, That video is just the beginning, I’ve got a fucking fractured hand from a baton, everyone of us has black and blue bruises up and down their legs and back, I had a guy spit in my face from 6 inches away, call me a pussy and a coward for not doing anything about it, and then tell me that he was going to find where I live, rape my mother, rape my children in front of me and then kill me.

I’ve never been more angry about something in my fucking life, the level of restraint that it took for us to not fight back in any capacity whether that was with a gun or fists is incredible. All of us have kids at home, The only thing going through all of our minds was we have to be able to justify deadly force if we’re going to go that route, there’s also hundreds of these people, we can’t see straight because of all the pepper spray, and it’s hard to PID exactly who is throwing these rocks and hitting us with batons, because they would hit you and fucking run and their buddy would run up and hit you. It was an incredibly stressful situation, they did a very good job tactically of taking away your situational awareness, And in my opinion complicating your legal defense when you split one of their faces open with a hollow point.

As we were running from the crowd after about the third block or so, we’re sprinting because the mob head caught back up to us and vehicles were trying to cut us off, I put my hand on the back strap on my appendix, And I heard somebody yell “hey bro whatever you’re reaching for don’t reach just keep running their still 30 feet behind you. Keep running straight”

We get 11 blocks down the road and this black Chevy Impala is ghosting us down the street, he’s kind of been in our shadow since block two or three He rolls his window down and starts asking us a bunch of questions why are we here what are we doing telling us we need to get the fuck out of here asking us where our car is etc., we pretty much told him get the fuck away from us because we didn’t know who he was, I finally asked him at one point who the fuck are you man you need to leave us alone, he was like I’m the fucking police bro who are you. So he pulled his car over and him and his partner talked to us, He was one of the special programs guys either with swat or SRT or whatever. He was the one that yelled at me not to reach, and tried to help us out, he said he knew that we’ve been pepper sprayed and we’re having trouble seeing, I kind of snapped at him, Like hey motherfucker, You’ve been watching this whole thing fucking unfold and you didn’t intervene at all or light the crowd up or something? He started laughing and he was like man if I got out and tried to help you guys my fucking car would be on fire right now and I’d be running next to you.

Bottom line don’t go to an antifa protest where you can put yourself in that situation. And if you find yourself in that situation and expect them to employee tactics it take away your situational awareness, and Complicate the use of force continuum."

He started laughing and he was like man if I got out and tried to help you guys my fucking car would be on fire right now and I’d be running next to you.

Bottom line don’t go to an antifa protest where you can put yourself in that situation. And if you find yourself in that situation and expect them to employee tactics it take away your situational awareness, and Complicate the use of force continuum."

The first hand account from Portland is scary.  It doesn't seem real until someone takes into the middle of it.  In third world countries, Mexico for example, the criminal gangs have more power than the police.  Except for a few warning us, we didn't think that could happen here.

Another story from Portland.  These are not nice people:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/08/portland-rioters-wheel-guillotine-through-suburbs-execute-american-flag/

Now Kenosha.  What did Susan Rice and HRC call Benghazi, a spontaneous demonstration?  The organized warfare started before any of the facts were known, and it looks like they've been training for years for this moment, and were ready:

'Like a Scene Out of Hell': Armed BLM Rioters Loot, Pillage, and Burn Kenosha Following Police Shooting

Denver:  https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/08/23/denver-police-protests-arrests-riots/

Minneapolis.  At the George Floyd Eulogy (in TX) they all agreed to meet in Mpls again for the verdict.  That's odd.  I thought the demonstrations were spontaneous; they all already lived here.

Also odd:  The most violent "BLM" people we see in the stories and videos are white.

"mostly peaceful demonstrations":

The only land you own is the land you control.

If you have a piece of paper that says you own the land, but it can be looted, burned or you dare not set foot upon it, then do you really own anything but the paper?

Right.  You don't really own your land or property if your jurisdiction thinks they own it. Still I think own is better than rent if you wa t to make security alterations, for one reason.

Post by: ccp on November 28, 2020, 04:38:43 AM
In Georgia, at least 96,600 absentee ballots were requested and counted, but there is no record that they were actually returned to county election boards by the voter. Were they just created in-house by Democrat operatives?

Again in Georgia, “All 900 military ballots in Fulton county were 100% for Joe Biden.” Try flipping a coin and having it land “tails” 900 times in a row.

Sounds like Stacy Abrams fingers all over this.

In the red vs. blue state and county scenarios, I always seemed to be stuck behind enemy lines.  (Martin also mentioned writing from an urban setting.)  Liberals have taken over the places I want to be.  Strangely, anti-capitalism is now the party of wealth.  Our county, one of 87 in MN is bigger than 8 states in terms of population and economy.  In the outskirts, we are deprived of local government, governed essentially by the unelected "Metropolitan Council" and by leftist state laws; we pay the taxes that hold up the otherwise bankrupt inner city.  My small county in Colo, Lake Co. Colo. elevation 10,000 ft., voted 60-40 Biden.  How far out do I have to go?  Leftists govern the coastlines and the mountain ski resorts.

From the first comment of the book review: 
"The one thing I am still leery about is establishing a network of like-minded folks."

I don't know a network of like-minded folks.  That's one reason why my political views come out here.

74 million Trump voters have no way of reaching each other.  The campaign got my email address and cell number when I signed up but did not attend a Trump rally.  But gmail puts everything conservative or Republican in the spam folder, and texts with no way of tracing them get blocked manually.

Not clear how you prepare your home for a bombing.  Put up iron fences like prominent Democrats use.  This homeowner had cameras and got good pictures that probably do not lead to arrest and didn't deter the attack.  I assume it is not legal to shoot the attackers before they threw the bombs.

I would not mark my house or car in the war zone with my support with the 74 million plus who still believe in America.  But with my silence I surrendered my first amendment right of freedom of speech.  That is not right.

Good advice. Not much there on where to store it. It isn't all going in your kitchen cupboards. He mentions Rubbermaid containers but one additional point is that canned goods and jars can't be allowed to freeze, which happens in some places I would store extra food and definitely happens if utilities go off in winter.

The violent siege of the U.S. Capitol exposed serious security flaws and the influence of online platforms in organizing protests, offering lessons for law enforcement and future demonstrators. On Jan. 6, supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump besieged Capitol Hill and broke into the Capitol building in a violent confrontation that left four people dead, one a protester shot trying to break through a barricaded door and three others from unspecified "medical emergencies." Thousands of pro-Trump demonstrators had gathered in Washington in the third major preplanned demonstration in as many months to protest the outcome of the presidential election. This round of protests was timed to coincide with congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden's victory — typically, a mere formality, but this year a high-profile political flashpoint — and came as Democrats were officially announced as winners in the two Senate runoff races in Georgia, thereby giving them control of both houses of Congress.

Trump supporters began arriving in the nation's capital in smaller numbers on Jan. 5 to attend the "Stop the Steal" rally that remained peaceful during the daytime, but escalated into confrontations with police that evening, leading to a dozen arrests. Unlike previous protests in November and December 2020, pro-Trump demonstrators primarily clashed with law enforcement rather than with counterprotesters, who mostly stayed home.

On the morning of Jan. 6, much larger crowds came out for the "Save America” rally at which the president, who had publicly promoted the event for weeks, began speaking shortly before noon. Following his hourlong speech during which he repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud and urged attendees to take action, thousands of supporters walked toward the Capitol where they began clashing with police shortly after 1 p.m. as lawmakers gathered in a joint session in the House of Representatives chamber to count Electoral College votes.

Over the course of the afternoon, protests escalated, culminating in demonstrators breaching police lines and entering the Capitol, forcing the temporary suspension of Congress and the evacuation of lawmakers. In footage that received significant coverage on television and social media, Trump supporters overpowered the United States Capitol Police, the federal law enforcement agency responsible for protecting the Capitol Complex, and occupied its chambers, halls and offices, often stopping to pose for photos and videos.

It was not until after 7 p.m. that law enforcement officers began escorting lawmakers back to the House chamber and at 8 p.m. that Congress officially reconvened to resume counting Electoral College votes. Shortly before 4 a.m. on Jan. 7, Biden was officially certified as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

The breach of the Capitol revealed significant security failures and drew widespread criticism that will inform future counterprotest efforts. Current and former law enforcement officials called the siege one of the biggest security lapses in recent U.S. history, saying it demonstrated that the Capitol Police were woefully unprepared despite advance warnings of potential violence and examples of similar scenes at state capitols since the November vote. On Jan. 7, amid widespread calls for the chief of the Capitol Police to step down, the House sergeant-at-arms said he would submit his resignation and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would fire the Senate sergeant-at-arms if he does not resign by the time Democrats take control of the chamber. At the same time, many commentators have complained of a double standard, drawing a stark comparison with the racial injustice demonstrations in Washington over the summer, when the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police and federal law enforcement officers were much more aggressive in confronting protesters. These critiques underscore the challenges security officials face in planning and responding to cases of unrest in racially charged atmospheres and point to the need to consider how law enforcement action can be perceived in different ways.

Typically, representatives from a myriad of local and federal law enforcement agencies in the Washington area spend weeks planning for large protests, but this does not appear to have occurred — at least in any robust form — prior to the long-announced demonstrations called for Jan. 6. More information on the planning, or lack thereof, is sure to emerge in the coming days as officials trade recriminations for violence that clearly caught them unprepared.

In contrast to events like the inauguration, at which law enforcement officers establish multiple perimeters (typically, a larger outer one, plus multiple smaller inner ones) to defend in depth, there was no outer perimeter around the whole Capitol Hill complex; instead, officers only established a barricade around the building itself, thereby allowing the protesters to get very close before ever being challenged.

According to Terrance Gainer, who previously served as chief of the Capitol Police and the Senate sergeant-at-arms, Capitol Police officers are trained to keep protesters off the outdoor marble steps on the western side of the building; however, protesters far outnumbering the deployed police officers quickly overran the barricade despite being tear-gassed. Once rioters took control of the western steps, they had easy access to the building's many windows and doors, which are difficult to fully secure. Similarly, on the east side of the building, those who broke through the relatively lighted manned barricade forced the line of officers to retreat up the stairs, enabling the protesters to follow them directly up the building, where they also entered.

Once inside the Capitol, rioters broke through hastily constructed furniture barricades, raising questions about the lack of secondary protections inside the building. After this point, they essentially went unchallenged and were able to roam freely inside for hours. In widely documented videos and photos, rioters were seen inside multiple theoretically secure locations, including the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Senate chamber, further demonstrating the lack of precautions for these highly symbolic rooms.

Other law enforcement arms of the federal government and local National Guard units were not mobilized until more than an hour after the protesters first breached the outdoor barricades on either side of the Capitol, and then took longer to arrive and begin clearing protesters from the building. Debates over who can request and approve District of Columbia National Guard support, combined with legal restrictions on military units operating on federal property, appear to account for part of the delay, but the belated mobilization will undoubtedly inform future protection efforts.

In taking a less proactive approach to confronting pro-Trump protesters, security officials may have wanted to avoid a repeat of last summer's racial injustice protests during which local and federal police officers were widely critiqued for overly-aggressive tactics. If so, they appear to have given the Capitol rioters too much latitude, renewing debate about racial disparities in policing. Many anti-Trump activists publicly noted that the Capitol demonstrators were mainly white, in contrast to the protest leaders over the summer who were mainly Black.

The events of Jan. 6 revealed how laxer police activity can just as easily lead to violence as can aggressive tactics, which will surely inform ongoing efforts to find an appropriate balance.
The storming of the Capitol was organized and publicized online in easily replicable ways that other protesters with varying motivations will harness to facilitate future civil disturbances. For weeks, mainstream social media sites, niche right-wing forums and mobile messaging applications hosted open discussions about preparations for the violent takeover of the Capitol on Jan. 6. Some of this online activity was organic, while some materialized in response to the actions of Trump and his allies, who repeatedly used their social media feeds to encourage supporters to come to Washington and take action to try to overturn what they have continued to characterize as a fraudulent election result despite any evidence of such fraud.

Weeks before Jan. 6, Trump supporters in an interconnected digital ecosystem of both well-known and fringe platforms called for mass action — including many explicit appeals for violence — to prevent congressional certification. One former intelligence official who monitors online extremist activity told Reuters that starting Jan. 1, there were 1,480 posts from accounts related to the QAnon conspiracy theory that referred to the rally on Jan. 6 and included references to violence. Similarly, a nonprofit research group told BuzzFeed that 50% of the top posts between Jan. 4 and Jan. 6 on the prominent right-wing forum TheDonald, which was created after Reddit removed the forum for violating its hate speech policies, mentioned calls for violence.

Beyond inciting violence in the abstract, protesters also used online platforms to plot concrete action. On Facebook, a group called Red-State Secession gathered nearly 8,000 members and linked to a website asking followers to send in the addresses and travel routes of perceived "enemies" to be targeted once protesters arrived in Washington. On Jan. 6, demonstrators exchanged logistical advice on niche right-wing sites like Gab and Parler, which hosted discussions about which streets to take to avoid the police and what tools to bring to break into Capitol offices.

Once inside the Capitol, rioters communicated with each other, documented their activities across multiple online platforms, and adjusted their tactics in real time. Shortly after the president tweeted that Vice President Mike Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done" — a reference to Pence's refusal to block Biden's certification — messages on Gab called for those inside the building to hunt down the vice president and videos showed agitators chanting "Where is Pence?"

Rioters made concerted efforts to pose for photos and videos that were quickly uploaded or streamed online, indicating the value they see in promoting their message from such content and the ease with which online platforms can serve as dissemination mechanisms. Mainstream media outlets republished many of these photos and videos, amplifying the protesters’ message and probably helping to convince many protesters that they were successful at showing their power even if they did not succeed in preventing Biden's certification.

Before, during, and after the siege, protesters took steps to ensure their online accounts remained active, even as mainstream social media sites belatedly scrambled to remove violent content that violated their terms of service and niche platforms like Parler dealt with temporary disruptions amid surges in online traffic. Such tradecraft is easily replicable and demonstrates the challenges of combating online extremism.

The violence will most immediately affect security preparations for the Jan. 20 inauguration, but its impacts will reverberate widely at home and abroad long after Biden assumes office. In the two weeks between now and Inauguration Day, officials will undoubtedly review the security failings at the Capitol to better prepare for Biden to take the oath of office, and seek to apply lessons learned to future high-profile events. Although Biden has said that pandemic precautions will make the events of the day much smaller, thereby placing fewer demands on security personnel, it is all but certain that the events of Jan. 6 will convince officials to err on the side of caution.

In light of the violence at the Capitol and in contrast with most recent inaugurations, where the main security threat has been that of terrorism, either directed from abroad or from homegrown jihadists, security officials will have to prepare frontline personnel to deal with potential repeat civil disturbances. Securing any area, but particularly one as challenging as an open city, from terrorism requires very different procedures than doing so against the threat of mass demonstrations, particularly when they are encouraged from the Oval Office.

In a city known for turf battles, local and federal authorities will need to do a much better job of coordinating. The Metropolitan Police Department has jurisdiction on city streets; the Park Police over areas near the National Mall, including the Ellipse south of the White House where the "Save America" rally initially began Jan. 6; the Secret Service in the vicinity of the White House; and the Capitol Police around the Capitol Complex. In addition to these law enforcement agencies, which may be supplemented with others from surrounding states and federal agencies, authorities will have to plan for the possible use of National Guard troops from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has extended for two weeks the public emergency order she first used on Jan. 6 to impose a 6 p.m. curfew, which will give local authorities greater control through the inauguration. Bowser is unlikely actually to leave the curfew in place for the entire two-week period — though she has the authority to take that step and certain other precautions as she deems necessary.
Beyond Washington, security officials in state capitals and other major cities will also need to reevaluate their Inauguration Day precautions in light of violence at the Capitol. As witnessed across the country multiple times since the November vote, Trump supporters are liable to demonstrate — sometimes violently — near many different symbolic sites. The success rioters had in breaching the Capitol may convince other aggrieved right-wing protesters that they can and should seek to replicate the episode closer to home.

Authorities will have to balance a need to identify and disrupt preplanned, organized violence such as that witnessed at the Capitol with the threat of right-wing lone actors who plot violence on their own. Nearly all recent right-wing terrorist attacks have been conducted by lone actors, who present a unique set of counterterrorism challenges. Aspiring lone actors, particularly those who mix personal grievances with conspiracy theories, may perceive Inauguration Day as their final opportunity to prevent a transfer of power from Trump to Biden.

Ability to communicate will be crucial.  This system is great for family members (or neighbors) who are local. 

I'm curious about the wider scale, how will we communicate as a movement, locally, nationally and worldwide, after the shutdown of conservative speech on so many platforms?

For example, we are one government or platform action away from having this forum come up 'cancelled'.  Then what?

Several years ago, we had a blackout during the summer months where the temps were well over 110 degrees. It was utterly miserable. Luckily, I had a fully charged jump starter, plugged a fan in and we were able to sleep in comfort.

Agreed.  I have been doing this for some time.  I rebuilt my 1880 house in the mountains with this type of energy before I connected to the grid.  I generally buy cheap components on ebay or locally, but these are some nice products; I like the Yeti.

Some other advice from the north country:
1. One of the first readiness conveniences with power off and heat out is a fully working electric blanket.  Standard ones are less than 200 watts.  Buy the inverter for twice that wattage and enough battery capacity.  One deep cycle battery goes a long way.  Electric blanket requires the 'Pure Sine Wave' inverter to work.  I make a long winter drive often (skiing in the mountains this week).  A powered electric blanket is a key winter travel accessory for me.
2. Buy and wrap heat tape on critical pipes n your home such as your water meter and plumbing pipes and fixtures.  I've had furnaces go off when not home and in vacant homes.  The heat tape comes on when the pipe temp hits 38 degrees, so it costs you nothing in electricity to be plugged in and ready.  These would be good to hook up to backup power in that they use very low wattage.  In an emergency, heat the people and then the plumbing pipes first.  One point about freezing up your water meter, which I've done twice, a prepper might not be eager to invite the city into your home, and the City generally owns the water utility.
3. Natural gas and propane generators.  If you have piped natural gas to your home (or propane), there is no reason your furnace should be off when the electricity goes off, but it does go off.  Typical furnace fan needs about 800 watts.  I haven't done this but I should.  They make one called tri-fuel.  If you have gas, you shouldn't be without electricity, even if it is just to recharge your batteries.
4.  Buy gas or propane heaters for backup that don't require electricity.  My tankless gas water heater lights with two D batteries that last a year.  In an electrical outage, I still have endless hot water.  Wall heaters can be bought for gas heat with no electricity required.  Same for gas fireplace inserts. 
5. In one off grid setting we use a propane powered refrigerator/freezer.  One more thing that doesn't have to run off the generator and can run when the generator is off.

6. Buy a CO detector if you are using gas combustion of any kind.  Buy the one with the digital display so that if you ever do get a reading, you know what the CO level is.  I carry one in the car for winter emergencies, in case I've pulled over and need to leave the car/heat running.

Buy and wrap heat tape on critical pipes n your home such as your water meter and plumbing pipes and fixtures.  I've had furnaces go off when not home and in vacant homes.  The heat tape comes on when the pipe temp hits 38 degrees, so it costs you nothing in electricity to be plugged in and ready.  These would be good to hook up to backup power in that they use very low wattage.  In an emergency, heat the people and then the plumbing pipes first.  One point about freezing up your water meter, which I've done twice, a prepper might not be eager to invite the city into your home, and the City generally owns the water utility.
3. Natural gas and propane generators.  If you have piped natural gas to your home (or propane), there is no reason your furnace should be off when the electricity goes off, but it does go off.  Typical furnace fan needs about 800 watts.  I haven't done this but I should.  They make one called tri-fuel.  If you have gas, you shouldn't be without electricity, even if it is just to recharge your batteries.
4.  Buy gas or propane heaters for backup that don't require electricity.  My tankless gas water heater lights with two D batteries that last a year.  In an electrical outage, I still have endless hot water.  Wall heaters can be bought for gas heat with no electricity required.  Same for gas fireplace inserts. 
5. In one off grid setting we use a propane powered refrigerator/freezer.  One more thing that doesn't have to run off the generator and can run when the generator is off.

6. Buy a CO detector if you are using gas combustion of any kind.  Buy the one with the digital display so that if you ever do get a reading, you know what the CO level is.  I carry one in the car for winter emergencies, in case I've pulled over and need to leave the car/heat running.

This is good stuff, very important to consider.  For me, it raises more questions than it answers and that is good too.

The last year has made many of these survival issues real.  In Mpls, there was the delivery driver on the freeway who came around a corner and ran into a mob.  The BLM / mostly peaceful protest mob assumed he was trying to kill them.  He really was delivering gas to a black owned station.  Once stopped, the mob rushed the cab to pull him out.  Someone had the sense to persuade the others not to kill him right there.  Most mobs aren't that reasonable.  If they are outside your house or going through your neighborhood house to house, it may be too late to travel. 

If my escape plan is to drive 1000 miles to a better location and I get out of town safely, I still must ask, how do I get more gas?  Shutting down stations is already part of their plan.  cf. Keystone XL

Speaking of 'bug out' locations, here is the latest county map:

Stabilized gas in external gas cans helps. Also, many vehicles can have an additional fuel tank added as a modification.

What I see for protection on E. Lake St and W. Broadway in Minneapolis is plywood over the windows with a sign on the plywood that says "Black Owned Business".  In the plan accordingly playbook, you bought your plywood pre-covid.

Good stuff, Doug.

As soon as the snow melts, I am GTFO my current location and moving to a much more rural and cold environment.
Just hoping the hyperinflation/global depression waits for me to get moved.


https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/best-solar-generators

Start with this.


Agreed.  I have been doing this for some time.  I rebuilt my 1880 house in the mountains with this type of energy before I connected to the grid.  I generally buy cheap components on ebay or locally, but these are some nice products; I like the Yeti.

Some other advice from the north country:
1. One of the first readiness conveniences with power off and heat out is a fully working electric blanket.  Standard ones are less than 200 watts.  Buy the inverter for twice that wattage and enough battery capacity.  One deep cycle battery goes a long way.  Electric blanket requires the 'Pure Sine Wave' inverter to work.  I make a long winter drive often (skiing in the mountains this week).  A powered electric blanket is a key winter travel accessory for me.
2. Buy and wrap heat tape on critical pipes n your home such as your water meter and plumbing pipes and fixtures.  I've had furnaces go off when not home and in vacant homes.  The heat tape comes on when the pipe temp hits 38 degrees, so it costs you nothing in electricity to be plugged in and ready.  These would be good to hook up to backup power in that they use very low wattage.  In an emergency, heat the people and then the plumbing pipes first.  One point about freezing up your water meter, which I've done twice, a prepper might not be eager to invite the city into your home, and the City generally owns the water utility.
3. Natural gas and propane generators.  If you have piped natural gas to your home (or propane), there is no reason your furnace should be off when the electricity goes off, but it does go off.  Typical furnace fan needs about 800 watts.  I haven't done this but I should.  They make one called tri-fuel.  If you have gas, you shouldn't be without electricity, even if it is just to recharge your batteries.
4.  Buy gas or propane heaters for backup that don't require electricity.  My tankless gas water heater lights with two D batteries that last a year.  In an electrical outage, I still have endless hot water.  Wall heaters can be bought for gas heat with no electricity required.  Same for gas fireplace inserts. 
5. In one off grid setting we use a propane powered refrigerator/freezer.  One more thing that doesn't have to run off the generator and can run when the generator is off.

6. Buy a CO detector if you are using gas combustion of any kind.  Buy the one with the digital display so that if you ever do get a reading, you know what the CO level is.  I carry one in the car for winter emergencies, in case I've pulled over and need to leave the car/heat running.

From the article:
(https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/inequality-income2-21_0.jpg?itok=alsYRPQy)

1.  This study is quite thoroughly debunked, in our threads, IMHO.

2.  The division in our society is not based on that (alleged) split.  The richest are strangely on the side trying to take down the economy and the rule of law.

3.  The great, untold story in my view is how widespread the wealth is.  I just look around at the school district I live in.  This is not NY or San Fran, this is flyover country and not one of the 3 richest districts in the state.  Population 40,000, not just the few, Median Income is $130,000. Half the people make more than that and many of the rest have wealth, retired perhaps, that doesn't show up in annual income data. 
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/97000US2711670-minnetonka-public-school-district-mn/

In the red blue divide, this is now what the Left looks like.  Not exactly the downtrodden oppressed and held back by the richest 1% - who are also the Left.

4.  The only people not rich in our society are the ones doing the physical work, because the others make everything so expensive, and the people who don't participate in our economic system.

From the article:

1.  This study is quite thoroughly debunked, in our threads, IMHO.

2.  The division in our society is not based on that (alleged) split.  The richest are strangely on the side trying to take down the economy and the rule of law.

3.  The great, untold story in my view is how widespread the wealth is.  I just look around at the school district I live in.  This is not NY or San Fran, this is flyover country and not one of the 3 richest districts in the state.  Population 40,000, not just the few, Median Income is $130,000. Half the people make more than that and many of the rest have wealth, retired perhaps, that doesn't show up in annual income data.

In the red blue divide, this is now what the Left looks like.  Not exactly the downtrodden oppressed and held back by the richest 1% - who are also the Left.

4.  The only people not rich in our society are the ones doing the physical work, because the others make everything so expensive, and the people who don't participate in our economic system.

5.  That said, time is running out.

Highly Suggest: Keep Stocking Up on Food — Water Security Crucial

Food prices will continue to rise — 90 percent chance. Remember that I started beating this drum hard in January 2020. HIGHLY suggest you stock up on all things you need to stay home for extended periods. Do NOT tell others you are prepping. If you live around smart people who are prepared, your risks are much lower. If you live around people who are taking inventory of preppers — YOU are their backup plan. I use a Berkey water-filter for home, and a Katadyn pocket filter for travel. Prices for both went way up since I started warning in January 2020. Remember that when your water goes out, your toilets do not work. Everyone’s conditions are different. Some live in condos in Manhattan. Others live in distant areas with clear mountain streams, or on islands, in deserts, and so on. Everyone has their own circumstance. Everyone needs food and water. Stock up on any medications you may need. I warned of this in January 2020. Much of our pharmaceuticals come from China. After I warned, CCP threatened to cut off America. NBA and Hollywood and some Congress people still take a knee. Stock up. It’s has become clear that vaccines are not working as advertised. Government fallback now — in face of obvious — is that people are becoming less ill when they have been vaccinated. This sets stage for The Great Vaccine Escape. Endless jabs with untested substances of many sorts, from various sources. Rolling the dice again and again and again. All while vaccinated people continue to become infected and the virus learns to pick the locks. Go back and see my January/February/March 2020 live streams. Steel on steel. Far more accurate than most captured ‘experts.’ Serious times ahead. My interview from January 2020 is dead on target. Audit yourself. Was I right in January 2020, or wrong? https://michaelyon-online.com/michael-yon-on-the-the-jordan-harbinger-show.htm

Title: Preparing for the Gray Zone
Post by: G M on February 11, 2022, 07:52:32 AM
Preparing for the Gray Zone
 

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: Typical "prepper" stuff isn't getting you prepared for life in the Gray Zone. In this email, I describe the second-layer solutions you should be building.

 

I'm sure you've noticed things have gotten a little bit... weird.

 

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength," as Orwell wrote.

 

What we're experiencing is not a total collapse, but it's also not life as we've known it. The line between order and chaos is blurring. This is the Gray Zone, and it might look familiar to folks who've spent any time in Latin America, Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East, or a lot of other fragile and failed states.

 

You might feel that things can't continue like this for long, but I think they will.

 

Between you and me, many people underestimate the ability of Hobbes' Leviathan to trudge along.

 

I don't think there will be any "starting fresh" or starting over from a total collapse. We won't be that lucky. This is something we'll be forced to live through and do the best we can with what we have, which is why I have a laser-like focus on "second layer" solutions.

 

First layer solutions are things like water and food storage, shelter, an ouch pouch, self-defense tools, a Bao Feng. These things will keep an individual or family alive (maybe).

 

Second layer solutions include:

a neighborhood watch
a local preparedness and information-sharing network
alternative logistics, supply, and production networks
alternative long-term medical care
and all the other things that are not "survival" or "prepper" skills, but will make life a lot better while we navigate the future.
 

 

These are all things I'm working on in my little corner of the Brazos Valley. I received a HUGE response from readers last year who wanted to know more about how I'm building a preparedness network. I'll cover it for you, from A to Z.

 

From today forward, my primary focus is on developing solutions to the problems described in the Early Warning reports at Forward Observer.

 

If you stay on this email list, you'll receive my latest thoughts on our collapse into the Gray Zone and what you can do about it.

 

I'm getting into the weeds of what I'm doing to counter-organize my community and I'll teach you how you can replicate that.

 

We're in this together, and I mean that. I'll email soon with some first steps you can take.

 

Until next time, be well and stay out front.

 

Always Out Front,

Mike Shelby

What's your plan if the grid is down?

A few thoughts, not in order of importance:

1. First thing to [don't] do when the power goes off is open your fridge or freezer.  It stays cold longer with the door shut.

Next, gas won't pump, and not water either in some places.  Credit card readers won't read, grocery stores will close.   What is the plan?  I am accumulating some of the pieces, not fully in place.  I'm not ready. 

2.  More food! More water.  Putting dry food in coolers to protect from rodents.  I have to deal with the fact that canned foods can't be allowed to freeze.

3. ammo/security

4. I like what Crafty mentioned,  the 'tri-fuel generator'. 

A gas furnace typically requires 800 watts electricity for the fan and other electronics or it won't work at all. You can't count on batteries for that, not when you need to run everything else off of them, not in a region where no heat means die.  I've noticed (so far) that when the grid is down, piped natural gas still works, you need to be able to convert that into electricity.

5.  Plus should have a big propane tank for backup.  Refrigerator/freezer can be propane, or switchable like RVs.  A/C?  I don't know, not a big deal here.  It takes a lot of solar to run a small amount of a/c in the daytime only in a hot region.  Need to build a shelter that is cool naturally, or escape extreme heat or cold or drought hopefully with a more than fueled vehicle and a plan.

6.  How about a year or more's worth of firewood and wood burning stove?

7.  Enough gasoline for me to drive to a more sustainable property a few states away.

Next step with the tri-fuel generator is to get three of them so you're already set up when the inevitable happens.

Most definitely. It looks good for the store owner that LVMPD did their initial investigation and didn’t arrest him. Even with the toxic influx of Californians, most residents don’t get upset at street justice in Vegas.

Especially after the BurnLootMurder lawlessness.

I expect the DA will punt and put this case in front of a grand jury.

Matt Bracken:

What would happen long term, politically, if an economic collapse led to massive social upheaval, civil war and starvation? Would the "blue hives" see a population collapse if their required food, clean water, fuel and electricity stopped coming in?

I'm just thinking long range here about what might happen if the "great reset" actually leads to a great collapse? If Americans living in the big cities are at each others' throats today, with all systems functioning, what will happen if those civilizational foundations are completely removed?

Government can "print" from the thin-air as much digital EBT money as they desire, but they cannot magically print food, clean water, electricity, gasoline, diesel, home heating oil etc. and distribute it to cities.

The capital city of Mississippi can't provide safe drinking water for its population. This is just a pin-prick compared to what might be around the corner. Safe water for cities doesn't "just happen," much as we take it for granted. Is Jackson a harbinger of the future, or a rare outlier?

Revenge racism is racism still and as such is profoundly destructive.

This was Martin Luther King's deep gift to America-- to operate from a place of Christian forgiveness.

Tragically powerful forces now sedulously work to throw this gift away.

To focus on inmutable characteristics is to miss the point-- and to feed vicious circles that become vortexes of cultural destruction.

For example, we can look at the disproportionate % of blacks (inmutable) with criminal records, or we can focus on fatherless sons (individual). 

Which is the more useful heuristic for actually moving forward?

We can look at the disproportionate % of Jews (inmutable) in the halls of Rome, or we can focus on the insidious Prog ideology they choose (individual). 

Which is the more useful heuristic for moving forward?

The Progs would have us pretend that certain correlations do not exist or use these correlations to evade the responsibility of those in questions to take responsibility for the lives that they create.

The American Creed would have us take responsibility for our individual choices.

Let's put that aside for the moment and apply your logic to a related assertion of yours-- a disproportionate amount of the Prog scum bags are Jewish.  Seems like the conclusion of your syllogism is to avoid Jews?  Would this be why you suggested here recently about limiting the vote to believing Christians?

Yes. Not too long ago, I read a Chinese political analyst that was basically shaking his head in amazement at how such a small group had such power in American institutions and how that power was so often used in ways that was NOT in the best interest of America. Read up on the Chinese term “Baizuo”. They perceive accurately a lot of this society’s pathologies.

Nations are built on things that transcend individuals.As we do a postmortem on the American Republic, the concept of “Civic Nationalism” is a clear failure. Many immigrants (legal/illegal) have zero interest in becoming “American”. They are just here to feast on it’s remains.

I asked my wife how many Chinese immigrants would pick up a rifle and fight for America. She responded “Aside from me”?

She explained that a US passport is a status symbol for many Chinese and right now America is a good place to live. If China was better, they’d be there.

My wife’s cousin is a perfect example. She lives in SoCal and thinks California is great because of the free stuff. She learned just enough English to pass a naturalization exam, but lives in a Mandarin speaking bubble. Her husband is an engineer that came to the US at age 12. He pays taxes, but his spoken English is not great. 

Are they looting stores, no. They pay taxes and don’t cause problems, but they don’t have more than a transactional relationship with America.

Every human being has the ability to make choices.

James 1:13-14

13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

"Every human being has the ability to make choices."

Yup, and those that choose Progressivism are responsible for that.

Indeed. We have the freedom to embrace and follow God, or reject him and embrace darkness. We shall reap what we sow.

https://biblia.com/bible/esv/john/3/16

“God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life."

God loved the WORLD. Was the meaning the earth? Obviously not. What was meant was ALL of Humanity. When God was made into human flesh and knowingly suffered and died to pay for ALL of our flawed and sinful nature, it was for ALL of us.

I like the part about Communists in 1879...

Grant was speaking to Li Hongzhang, an interesting fellow unto himself :


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Hongzhang

In Today's context love this part where he tells NYTimes person:

"In a famous interview published by The New York Times on September 3, 1896, Li was asked whether he favored the introduction of the newspaper into China as developed in the U.S. or in Europe. Li's answer was stunningly honest: "There are newspapers in China, but the Chinese editors, unfortunately, do not tell the truth. They do not, as your papers, tell 'the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth.' The editors in China are great economizers of the truth; they tell only a part of it. They do not have, therefore, the great circulations that your papers have. Because this economy of the truth, our papers fail in the mission of a great press, to be one of the means of civilization."[18]

18 ;"LI ON AMERICAN HATRED: CHINESE LABORERS, HE SAYS, HAVE HIGHER VIRTUES. Argues for Free Competition in Labor as Well as Free Trade in Commodities -- The Geary Act Most Unfair, He Says in a Formal Audience with Reporters -- Amazed by Our Tall Buildings and Pleased with Most Things He Sees". The New York Times. September 3, 1896. p. 10.

I am sure the NYT loved that ......
