“Freedom faces a new enemy. The tyranny comes under the disguise of expert rule and benevolent dictatorship. The new rulers do not justify their right to dominance because of divine providence but now claim the right to rule the people in the name of universal health and safety based on presumed scientific evidence.”

…Under the leadership of Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt, twenty-six nations agreed in January 1942 to the initiative of establishing a United Nations Organization (UNO), which came into existence on October 24, 1945.

Since its inception, the United Nations and its branches, such as the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization (WHO), have prepared the countries of the world…[for] a world government…

The next decisive step toward the global economic transformation was taken with the first report of the Club of Rome. In 1968, the Club of Rome was initiated at the Rockefeller estate Bellagio in Italy. Its first report was published in 1972 under the title “The Limits to Growth.”
The president emeritus of the Club of Rome, Alexander King, and the secretary of the club, General Bertrand Schneider, inform in their Report of the Council of the Club of Rome that when the members of the club were in search of identifying a new enemy, they listed pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famines as the most opportune items to be blamed on humanity with the implication that humanity itself must be reduced to keep these threats in check.

Since the 1990s, several comprehensive initiatives toward a global system of control have been undertaken by the United Nations with Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030.

The 2030 Agenda was adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015. It launched its blueprint for global change with the call to achieve seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs). The key concept is “sustainable development” that includes population control as a crucial instrument.
Saving the earth has become the slogan of green policy warriors. Since the 1970s, the horror scenario of global warming has been a useful tool in their hands to gain political influence and finally rule over public discourse.

In the meanwhile, these anti-capitalist groups have obtained a dominant influence in the media, the educational and judicial systems, and have become major players in the political arena.
In many countries, particularly in Europe, the so-called green parties have become a pivotal factor in the political system. Many of the representatives are quite open in their demands to make society and the economy compatible with high ecological standards that require a profound reset of the present system.

In 1945, [Julian] Huxley noted that it is too early to propose outright a eugenic depopulation program but advised that it will be important for the organization “to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”

Huxley’s caution is no longer necessary. In the meantime, the branches of the United Nations have gained such a level of power that even originally minor UN sub-organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have been enabled to command individual governments around the world to obey their orders. The WHO and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)–whose conditionality for loans has changed from fiscal restraint to the degree to which a country follows the rules set by the WHO–have become the supreme tandem to work toward establishing the new world order.

As Julian Huxley pointed out in his discourse in 1945, it is the task of the United Nations to do away with economic freedom, because “laisser-faire and capitalist economic systems” have “created a great deal of ugliness” (p. 38). The time has come to work toward the emergence “of a single world culture” (p. 61). This must be done with the explicit help of the mass media and the educational systems.

CONCLUSION
With the foundation of the United Nations and its sub-organizations, the drive to advance the programs of eugenics and transhumanism took a big step forward. Together with the activities of the Club of Rome, they have stage to initiate the great reset that is going on currently.

With the pronouncement of a pandemic, the goal of comprehensive government control of the economy and society has taken another leap toward transforming the economy and society.

New York AG Reveals Telecom Giants Funded ‘Secret Campaign’ to Flood FCC With Fake Net Neutrality Comments

“This investigation shows how low the industry will stoop to undermine even the most basic and benign safeguards.”

The New York Attorney General’s Office released a report Thursday showing that major U.S. telecom companies pumped millions of dollars into a “secret campaign” that flooded the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with millions of fake comments in an attempt to influence the agency’s 2017 repeal of net neutrality protections.

The product of a multi-year investigation, the new report details an industry-backed effort to create the appearance of “widespread grassroots support” for then-FCC chair Ajit Pai’s broadly unpopular repeal of net neutrality rules.

“In 2017, the nation’s largest broadband companies funded a secret campaign to generate millions of comments to the FCC. Many of these comments provided ‘cover’ for the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality rules,” the investigation found. “To help generate these comments, the broadband industry engaged commercial lead generators that used prizes — like gift cards and sweepstakes entries — to lure consumers to their websites and join the campaign.”

“However, nearly every lead generator that was hired to enroll consumers in the campaign, instead, simply fabricated consumers’ responses,” the report states, noting that 8.5 million fake comments in favor of net neutrality repeal were generated by the effort.

The report declines to directly name the companies that funded the project, but it does disclose that the $4.2 million campaign was run through Broadband for America (BFA), a nonprofit organization whose members include AT&T, CenturyLink, Charter and Comcast.

“The New York Attorney General’s Office has exposed a massive fraud financed by the nation’s biggest phone and cable companies to drown out authentic public support for net neutrality,” said Craig Aaron, co-CEO of advocacy group Free Press. “This investigation shows how low the industry will stoop to undermine even the most basic and benign safeguards.”

“The Biden FCC has the opportunity and responsibility to restore net neutrality and the authority the agency needs to regulate the nation’s biggest cable and phone companies,” Aaron added.

While the investigation did not uncover evidence that BFA had direct knowledge of the lead generators’ outright fabrication of comments, the report states that “several significant red flags appeared shortly after the campaign started, and continued for months yet still remained unheeded.”

“Shortly after BFA began to submit comments to the FCC, in early May 2017, reports began to appear in the press of individuals who stated on the record that comments using their names and addresses had been submitted without their consent,” the report notes. “BFA and its lobbying firm were aware of these accounts, discussing and linking to them in emails.”

In a statement, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that “instead of actually looking for real responses from the American people, marketing companies are luring vulnerable individuals to their websites with freebies, co-opting their identities and fabricating responses that giant corporations are then using to influence the policies and laws that govern our lives.”

“Today, we are taking action to root out this fraud and the impersonation that has been corrupting the process for far too long,” James continued. “From net neutrality rules to laws affecting criminal justice reform, healthcare and more, these fake comments have simply been generated to influence too many government policies, which is why we are cracking down on this illegal and deceptive behavior.”

James announced that her office has reached agreements with three lead generators — Fluent, Inc, Opt-Intelligence, Inc. and React2Media, Inc. — that produced millions of fake comments as part of the telecom-funded campaign. The companies will pay more than $4.4 million in penalties and disgorgement and be required to implement “comprehensive reforms in future advocacy campaigns.”

Throughout the rulemaking process surrounding the 2017 net neutrality repeal effort, activists repeatedly raised concerns about a possible telecom-led effort to flood the FCC with comments supporting the rollback, which took effect in 2018.

One activist, Evan Greer of digital rights group Fight for the Future, has characterized the New York Attorney Generals report as vindication of her earlier suspicions.

“Of course, this comes as a surprise to no one,” Greer tweeted Thursday. “Net neutrality activists have been saying for years these fake comments were likely funded by companies like Comcast and Verizon.”

So what was preordained has finally taken place. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has now been convicted of the murder of George Floyd. While many, possibly even most, Americans would agree that Chauvin exceeded what was necessary in his use of force, the prosecution never proved that he intended to either kill or severely injure Floyd, nor could they demonstrate that any racial bias was behind what had developed after Floyd resisted arrest.

Nevertheless, Chauvin was held solely responsible for the death of Floyd and will be sentenced to up 40 years in prison the first week in June, at which point he can initiate an appeal, and, to be sure, there are considerable grounds for upending the verdict. First of all, the defense’s moves to have the trial moved from Minneapolis, where violent crowds were gathering nightly outside the courthouse and in other public spaces, was denied, creating a “mob rule” atmosphere that clearly intimidated the jurors as well others involved in the trial. And there were more specific threats. The day before Chauvin’s case went to the jury, the former California home of a defense witness was vandalized with a pig’s head and blood.

Secondly, media coverage of the trial, visible to the unsequestered jury, weighed heavily against Chauvin and only provided perfunctory and unsympathetic reporting on his defense. Third, Minneapolis gave the Floyd family a “historic” $27 million wrongful death settlement on March 12^th, which sent a clear message to jurors and others that the city considered Chauvin guilty as charged and it also reinforced fears that if the verdict were to go the wrong way the city would burn.

And finally, the political class, mostly Democratic Party activists supported by the usual guilt-stricken limousine liberals in this case, intervened regularly in the commentary surrounding the proceedings. Representative Maxine Waters notoriously appeared in Minneapolis shortly before the jury was due to consider its verdict and advised an angry mob that “Well, we’ve got to stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active. We’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business” if the judgment went the wrong way. When Republicans in the House of Representatives called on Waters to either apologize or be censured, the move was blocked by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. One might note the double standard, recalling that recently a president of the United States was impeached for saying something rather less provocative than Waters.

Beyond that President Joe Biden called for a guilty verdict while the jury was sequestered and after the decision came down, he and Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on television in a hastily called press conference. She said “We still must reform the system. America has a long history of systemic racism” that is “holding our nation back from realizing our full potential.” Biden added that systemic racism “is a stain of our nation’s soul, the knee on the neck of the nation’s black Americans.” They both agreed that the verdict was justice of sorts but only the beginning of what has to be done.

In a televised address to both houses of Congress subsequent to the Chauvin verdict Biden went one step further, asserting that “…we won’t ignore what our own intelligence agencies have determined – the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism.” Voice of the Establishment Foreign Policy magazine appears to agree with that fundamentally absurd judgement, writing that “While accountability has been delivered for George Floyd’s murder, it’s not justice. Truth commissions are long overdue in the United States and should also be part of Floyd’s legacy…” Here in my own congressional district in Virginia Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton hyperbolically told constituents that “We need to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now, because the systemic inequality that led to his death — and the deaths of so many Black Americans — cannot continue.”

One might observe that a street hood and drug addict of such little distinction has not been so beatified since Michael Brown of Ferguson Missouri. Nevertheless, the real question is “Where does it go from here?” Much of the commentary seems to suggest a witch hunt is about to be initiated using the full resources of the national security state. There are for sure immediate consequences for the three Minneapolis policemen who are facing charges who are also likely to be also judged guilty and for Minnesotans in general there could be an impact on their crime rate, which in 2020 saw homicides doubled compared to the previous year due the George Floyd phenomenon. And Attorney General Merrick Garland, already busy engaged in an FBI and Pentagon effort to identify and root out “white extremists,” has already announced that there will be a federal investigation of the Minneapolis police force. So one can expect those numbers of killings to keep moving up as street punks realize that police will henceforth be unwilling to use force against anyone. And so much for the American tradition of local law enforcement.

And the longer answer to queries regarding what is coming appears to be that the Democrats joined by their radical allies in BLM and ANTIFA are prepared to deconstruct the entire US criminal justice system and they are further willing to employ their own brand of violence in purging the country of racists and more particularly white supremacists.

One might particularly note some comments made after the guilty verdict by professional left-wing gasbag and film maker Michael Moore, not to suggest that he has any genuine insights, but rather because he represents views that are unfortunately circulating among certain constituencies. He posted on Facebook, where he has 2.5 million followers and received 5,400 overwhelmingly favorable comments as well as more than 69,000 “likes.”

Moore wrote “It took practically no time for a jury to find murderer and officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd. The decision was swift, overwhelming, obvious, and yet, somehow, shocking. Maybe it should not have been such a shock that jurors in the congressional district that elected Rep. Ilhan Omar to Congress ended up making the right decision.

“However, …it is not the norm for these cases against killer cops to go this way. A victory for once! On this episode I issue a blanket warning to all racist and abusive cops that we are coming for them. Thousands of citizen activists across America are going to fight to abolish a sick and cruel system of policing and replace it with a humane and accountable system of Public Safety and Compassion. A professional, college-educated and literate group of public servants who seek to PREVENT crime and help citizens live safely. Public Safety is making sure everyone has food to eat, a roof over their head, great neighborhood public schools, a good paying job for all (and a safety net for those who can’t) and free health care (including mental health) for every human being.

“But this one act of accountability in Minnesota is not the massive, revolutionary change we need to address white supremacy, criminal justice reform, and anti-Black racism. How many Black and Brown people are sitting in prison tonight because they were put there by the thousands of Derek Chauvins on our police forces? We must set them all free. This verdict must be a new beginning. This is our moment. We must all be involved and make our voices heard… Now it is up to the rest of us to do our job as citizens of this democracy.

“Please listen to my podcast today as I say the things that need to be said to the other Derek Chauvins: Quit now, or start running. You are going to pay for your crimes. But no one will put their knee to your neck or harm you physically in any way. No. No. Because that would make us like you.”

Moore is almost certainly blowing a lot of smoke, but he is basically henceforth decriminalizing the justice system for anyone who is brown or black while also emptying out the prisons for those who are already confined and likewise fit into those racial categories. After that we go after the “corrupt cops,” which undoubtedly means anyone who is white and arrests a black person, judging by Moore’s breakdown of good and evil. And then we replace them with liberal, college educated social workers who, strangely, also have to be literate, though Moore does not suggest what books they should be allowed to read in the new Utopia. Oh, and then we give everyone a house, food, good schools, jobs and state provided health care. They will presumably behave a lot better if we do all that, though it is not clear who will pay for it and how. One BLM leader has called for white homeowners to surrender their homes as reparations, which may be what Moore has in mind.

One might note that personal responsibility plays no part in the Moore vision, which takes social engineering into the 1984 realm. Moore might just be angling for the undoubtedly upcoming Biden job of Ministry of Truth as all the new diversity slots appear to be already taken and he does not mention what he will do with the “racists” that he exposes apart from the fact that they should “start running.” Presumably they will not be eligible for any of the goodies that will be reserved for those who possessing the correct skin tone and who limit themselves to minor crimes like arson, shoplifting and mugging little old Asian ladies.

In other words, this is not about Chauvin at all. It is about the fear of the mob, the election of craven politicians and the bleatings of pundits like Moore. And above all it is about the direction our country is going in. If the people do not wake up to this the United States of America will soon be gone, gone, gone.

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Over the past year, I’ve been researching and writing as much as I can to help you take control of your health, as fearmongering media and corrupt politicians have destroyed lives and livelihoods to establish global control of the world’s population, using the COVID-19 pandemic as their justification.

I’ve also kept you informed about billionaire-backed front groups like the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a partner of Bill Gates’ Alliance for Science, both of whom have led campaigns aimed at destroying my reputation and censoring the information I share.

Other attackers include HealthGuard, which ranks health sites based on a certain set of “credibility criteria.” It has sought to discredit my website by ensuring warnings appear whenever you search for my articles or enter my website in an internet browser.

Well-Organized Attack Partnerships Have Formed

HealthGuard, a niche service of NewsGuard, is funded by the pharma-funded public relations company Publicis Groupe. Publicis, in turn, is a partner of the World Economic Forum, which is leading the call for a “Great Reset” of the global economy and a complete overhaul of our way of life.

HealthGuard is also partnered with Gates’ Microsoft company, and drug advertising websites like WebMD and Medscape, as well as the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — the progressive cancel-culture leader with extensive ties to government and global think tanks that recently labeled people questioning the COVID-19 vaccine as a national security threat.

The CCDH has published a hit list naming me as one of the top 12 individuals responsible for 65% of vaccine “disinformation” on social media, and who therefore must be deplatformed and silenced for the public good. In a March 24, 2021, letter¹ to the CEO’s of Twitter and Facebook, 12 state attorneys general called for the removal of our accounts from these platforms, based on the CCDH’s report.

Two of those state attorneys general also published an April 8, 2021, op-ed² in The Washington Post, calling on Facebook and Twitter to ban the “anti-vaxxers” identified by the CCDH. The lack of acceptance of novel gene therapy technology, they claim, is all because a small group of individuals with a social media presence — myself included — are successfully misleading the public with lies about nonexistent vaccine risks.

“The solution is not complicated. It’s time for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to turn off this toxic tap and completely remove the small handful of individuals spreading this fraudulent misinformation,” they wrote.³

Pharma-funded politicians and the pharma-captured health agencies have also relentlessly attacked me and pressured tech monopolies to censor and deplatform me, removing my ability to express my opinions and speak freely over the past year.

The CCDH also somehow has been allowed to publish⁴ in the journal Nature Medicine, calling for the “dismantling” of the “anti-vaccine” industry. In the article, CCDH founder Imran Ahmed repeats the lie that he “attended and recorded a private, three-day meeting of the world’s most prominent anti-vaxxers,” when, in fact, what he’s referring to was a public online conference open to an international audience, all of whom had access to the recordings as part of their attendance fee.

The CCDH is also partnered with another obscure group called Anti-Vax Watch. The picture below is from an Anti-Vax Watch demonstration outside the halls of Congress. Ironically, while the CCDH claims to be anti-extremism, you’d be hard-pressed to find a clearer example of actual extremism than this bizarre duo.⁵

Gates-Funded Doctor Demands Terrorist Experts to Attack Me

Most recently, Dr. Peter Hotez, president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute,⁶ which has received tens of millions of dollars from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,^7,8,9 – with funds from the foundation most recently being used to create a report called “Meeting the Challenge of Vaccine Hesitancy,”^10,11 — also cited the CCDH in a Nature article in which he calls for cyberwarfare experts to be enlisted in the war against vaccine safety advocates and people who are “vaccine hesitant.” He writes:¹²

“Accurate, targeted counter-messaging from the global health community is important but insufficient, as is public pressure on social-media companies. The United Nations and the highest levels of government must take direct, even confrontational, approaches with Russia, and move to dismantle anti-vaccine groups in the United States.

Efforts must expand into the realm of cyber security, law enforcement, public education and international relations. A high-level inter-agency task force reporting to the UN secretary-general could assess the full impact of anti-vaccine aggression, and propose tough, balanced measures.

The task force should include experts who have tackled complex global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks and nuclear armament, because anti-science is now approaching similar levels of peril. It is becoming increasingly clear that advancing immunization requires a counteroffensive.”

Why is Hotez calling for the use of warfare tactics on American citizens that have done nothing illegal? In my case, could it be because I’ve written about the theory that SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered virus, created through gain-of-function research, and that its release was anticipated by global elites, as evidenced in Event 201?

It may be. At least those are some of my alleged “sins,” detailed on page 10 of the CCDH report, “Disinformation Dozen: The Sequel.”¹³ Coincidentally enough, the Nature journal has helped cover up gain-of-function research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, publishing a shoddy zoonotic origins study relied upon my mainstream media and others, which was riddled with problems.^14,15

So, it’s not misinformation they are afraid of. They’re afraid of the truth getting out. They’re all trying to cover for the Chinese military and the dangerous mad scientists conducting gain-of-function work.

You may have noticed our website was recently unavailable; this was due to direct cyber-attacks launched against us. We have several layers of protective mechanisms to secure the website as we’ve anticipated such attacks from malevolent organizations.

What This Means for You

Through these progressively increasing stringent measures, I have refused to succumb to these governmental and pharmaceutical thugs and their relentless attacks. I have been confident and willing to defend myself in the court of law, as I’ve had everything reviewed by some of the best attorneys in the country.

Unfortunately, threats have now become very personal and have intensified to the point I can no longer preserve much of the information and research I’ve provided to you thus far. These threats are not legal in nature, and I have limited ability to defend myself against them. If you can imagine what billionaires and their front groups are capable of, I can assure you they have been creative in deploying their assets to have this content removed.

Sadly, I must also remove my peer reviewed published study¹⁶ on the “Evidence Regarding Vitamin D and Risk of COVID-19 and Its Severity.” It will, however, remain in the highly-respected journal Nutrients’ website, where you can still access it for free.

The MATH+ hospital treatment protocol for COVID-19 and the iMASK+ prevention and early outpatient COVID-19 protocol — both of which are based on the use of vitamins C, D, quercetin, zinc and melatonin — are available on the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s website. I suggest you bookmark these resources for future reference.

It is with a heavy heart that I purge my website of valuable information. As noted by Dr. Peter McCullough during a recent Texas state Senate Health and Human Services Committee hearing, data shows early treatment could have prevented up to 85% (425,000) of COVID-19 deaths.¹⁷ Yet early treatments were all heavily censored and suppressed.

McCullough, in addition to being a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the Texas A&M University Health Sciences Center, also has the distinction of having published the most papers of any person in the history of his field, and being an editor of two major medical journals. Despite that, his video, in which he went through a paper he’d published detailing effective early treatments, was summarily banned by YouTube in 2020.

“No wonder we have had 45,000 deaths in Texas. The average person in Texas thinks there’s no treatment!” McCullough told the senate panel.¹⁸ Indeed, people are in dire need of more information detailing how they can protect their health, not less. But there’s only so much I can do to protect myself against current attack strategies.

They’ve moved past censorship. Just what do you call people who advocate counteroffensive attacks by terrorism and cyberwarfare experts? You’d think we could have a debate and be protected under free speech but, no, we’re not allowed. These lunatics are dangerously unhinged.

The U.S. federal government is going along with the global Great Reset plan (promoted as “building back better”), but this plan won’t build anything but a technological prison. What we need is a massive campaign to preserve civil rights, and vote out the pawns who are destroying our freedom while concentrating wealth and power.

Do you have the survival skills to survive in a post-collapse world with no police, no laws, and no government?

Here are 21 survival skills to learn now … as well as several ways to apply these skills … when all Hell breaks loose.If you were to learn every possible survival skill out there, you’d have to quit your job, sleep 4 hours a night and do nothing but read, train, and practice survival skills.

That’s one reason why Army Green Berets and other Special Forces units around the world are so skilled at what they do — they have put their time in, gotten the practice, and acquired the skills. So what makes a Green Beret different from a Navy SEAL, or other special forces commando unit from somewhere else in the world?

The difference between a Green Beret and a Navy Seal

Comparing Green Berets with Navy SEALS, both groups are skilled with unconventional (guerilla) warfare, special reconnaissance, and combat search and rescue. Green Berets differ from Navy SEALS by way of their ability to blend in with the locals, build key relationships, and have eyes and ears on the ground.

This leads to: Training the locals in unconventional warfare (guerilla warfare and resistance fighters), coalition support, humanitarian assistance and peacekeeping duties. To summarize all these actions, Green Berets are expected to be skilled at diplomacy. Diplomacy is the keyword here. If you can get any survival skill from the Green Berets, diplomacy is a survival skill that can make you or break you in a post-collapse world. You’ll see why in a moment.

Survival Skills, Explained

For the rest of us, there’s too many survival skills to learn in a short period of time and it doesn’t really make sense to get good at everything. Let’s focus on the select few survival skills that will matter most when disaster strikes and you’ll be forced to either bug-in, evacuate, or bug out to a remote retreat for an undetermined amount of time.

Bug In – This means to essentially barricade yourself into your home and or just your neighborhood with your neighbors and subsist on supplies you and or your neighbors have stockpiled for an extended emergency.

Evacuate – A disaster or impending disaster or threat has made your neighborhood or region no longer safe to live, even if only for a short period of time. On short notice, you flee town to an official evacuation zone for disaster refugees; or you break off from the pack of evacuees and take your chances on your own (which may be a better choice than staying with the pack, depending on the situation). The open road lies before you…

Bug Out – You have a solid plan for leaving your home behind (permanently), packing up your car or truck — or just an oversized backpack (a bug out bag) and heading out on foot — packed with survival supplies to help you get by for the next few weeks until you arrive somewhere where you can resettle. Some people who plan to bug out currently possess survival skills for living off the land — for hunting, fishing, and foraging, while others who bug out have a planned remote retreat, whether that’s a cabin or a small area of wilderness off the beaten track, where they have pre-stocked survival supplies, food, water, etc. waiting just for this day.

What are the basics?

First we’ll cover the basics — basic survival skills. Then we’ll throw in a few survival skills that make Army Green Berets able to cover ground, blend in, and defend themselves — even on solo missions — sometimes deep in enemy territory.

Once you learn those survival skills, you’ll be able to tackle just about anything.

What to Learn First

#1. Improvised Shelter

Well, this one is a no-brainer: At some point you’re going to need a place to rest, escape the weather, or hide out from eyes in the sky for a couple days during your travels. Though some elaborate shelters can be built from the forest or brush or even hillside, a single or two-person backpacking tent will do the trick for most people. If for some reason you lose your tent during your travels, a tarp or a poncho and whatever you can find on site such as a shallow cave or a downed tree can be used also. Use overhead branches to shield yourself from the rain or sun; use the landscape as a natural windblock and also as natural camouflage. Since we’re talking about post-collapse, knowing how to easily camouflage yourself and your shelter safely off trail are essential.

Building shelter in a post-collapse world means more than just sheltering from the weather; it means sheltering from bad people that may be combing the landscape. Think like a hermit and hide yourself somewhere on a hillside or dense growth of trees, using moss, grass, twigs, and even dirt or mud to create insulation if needed. The best shelter in a post-collapse world, while traveling, is a shelter that no one knows is there. Remember that.

When you poke your head up to look around and do some recon, have your head covered in brush, as the shape of a human head is easy to recognize; remember, sometimes you want to avoid being seen at all costs.

If you have binoculars don’t be looking in the direction of the sun as the glint of the sun on your binoculars can be seen from a far distance away, potentially alerting someone to your position.

#2. Fire

Making fire encompasses the multitude of ways of starting it, maintaining it and then putting it out (which many people tend to overlook); after you’ve put out your fire, hide the fact that you ever had a fire to begin with. Leave no trace. Bury the ashes from your fire well under ground and then spread dirt and arrange brush so that no one can tell (without digging down) that you ever had a fire there. Don’t leave any clues for possible trail robbers or trackers to find, if someone happens to be looking for either you or for someone to rob.

As far as getting a fire started, you shouldn’t rely only on the bow drill method. Though it’s a good survival skill to have, it’s also time consuming and not dependable for a wet environment. Make sure you have at least 3 quick DIY methods of making fire in your bug out bag, including having lighters (in a waterproof container — pill bottles are great for carrying lighters), cotton balls or cloth soaked in a container of rubbing alcohol (another use for those pill bottles), waterproof matches, flint and steel, petroleum jelly cotton balls or even a 9V battery and steel wool.

While there are several DIY methods to use as fire starters, nowadays there are also several proven survival tools that should be considered as backup methods (that way all your bases are covered): BlastMatch Firestarter, Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter, and WetFire Tinder just to name a few.

#3. Water

Though most bug outs shouldn’t take more than a few days, water is one of those things you shouldn’t have too much of in your bug out bag because you can find plenty of water along the way (unless you live in or near the desert, then you may need to pack a lot more water than normal). Water procurement can be done several ways; it can be filtered with a portable water filter, it can be boiled to kill parasites and bacteria that can make you sick, and it can also be collected and purified with water purification tablets; this last method is the most time efficient method but because of limited pack space in your bug out bag, but it shouldn’t be the only method you use. Having a portable water filter and also a small pot for boiling water are essential.

Here’s why: At some point you’ll run out of water purification tablets and then a few weeks later that portable water filter will have used all it’s life. The good news about water purification tablets is that you can pack a lot of them; they don’t weigh very much or take up much space. You can also have a back up portable water filter if you use one of the smaller brands on the market, such as Lifestraw (mentioned in other articles), giving you several more weeks of water filtration.

Finding sources for fresh water:A good Green Beret will have done their homework themselves or have been thoroughly briefed on locations that exist in a region they will be operating in. For us, that means we should acquire the best maps in advance and then study each map so that we can create routes that take us near sources of fresh water — lakes, rivers and streams. This is how desert nomads of the vast deserts of the Middle East and Africa and also the Native Americans who lived in the desert southwest states of the U.S. could survive and travel through areas that would otherwise be inhospitable to humans. Desert nomads and Native Americans both knew where water could be found in remote areas and then chose their routes accordingly.

Choosing a Route in a Post-Collapse World – At the same time, the routes we create from our maps should avoid populated areas where gangs may be operating in the cities, rogue militias may be operating in the suburbs (I’m talking about the ruthless ones — some militias have good intentions and can use your help if you’re willing and able).

Finally, avoid run ins with bad people roaming the countryside outside of populated areas (bandits, rapists, and psychopaths). Ultimately, not only will you want to detour around cities and towns you don’t have information on, but make wide detours that take you through remote and rough country where bandits are a lot less likely to be lurking. Remember, bandits are a lot like hunters going after prey. Bandits will seek their prey (people to rob and murder) where they think they are most likely to find prey — that will be near populated areas — and so those will be wilderness areas to avoid. This is repeated further down.

Which brings us to an extremely important survival skill for a post collapse world:

What to Learn Next

#4. Navigation

In theory, the bug out process is straightforward. A couple of hours, to a couple of days, to a couple of weeks of walking and you reach a fully-stocked bug out retreat where you can live in peace for months or even years; well, that’s the hope anyway. You have to get their first.

And this is where the deadly challenge of survival happens in a post-collapse.

When chaos breaks loose, a lot of things can go wrong that can deviate you from your original route. This is where your navigation skills as well as your preparedness come into play:

Printed maps

GPS (if it’s available)

Offline maps on your phone (if you can download numerous, terrain specific maps beforehand)

Finally, knowing how to navigate using a compass or the stars.

When it’s all said and done, printed maps and a good compass are going to be your best bet. Navigating by the stars doesn’t work during cloudy weather, and depending on GPS or a smartphone to store maps is a bad idea for a long term situation. At some point, the batteries in your phone are going to die or those satellites that make GPS possible may become inaccessible. Map and compass are a proven and reliable long term survival tool and can work for you in a post collapse world.

Topographic Maps: A useful and necessary skill is knowing how to read topographic maps; knowing what those contour lines represent on a topographic map, as well as the different colors, will help you understand elevation changes and the types of terrain you can encounter in a region. You’ll be able to see the elevation of the terrain, the vegetation and, of course, the bodies of water, lakes, rivers, streams, coastline, etc. With a topographic map, you can determine a route that will help you avoid populated areas, reduce the chances of a robbery out on a trail (by helping you avoid trails all together), and also determine whether or not you’ll encounter a ridge, canyon, valley, or mountain too steep to climb.

A few things to remember: Most post-collapse robberies in the first few weeks are going to take place in the countryside surrounding major cities where many people are likely to evacuate to. If you want to avoid a robbery and possible murder and or rape (females are most at risk), understand that most “bandits” lurk in areas they believe people are likely to be found — if the cities are uninhabitable, they will look for victims outside cities in the surrounding wilderness. Though these bandits may have fled a disaster themselves, like many people in the region, they are not likely to travel far into the wilderness due to the fact that they have no wilderness survival skills and can not comprehend the idea of “living off the land”. They believe they are most likely to survive by robbing and or killing people.

To avoid becoming a victim, detour wide around any cities and towns, and ,as much as possible, create routes through remote wilderness that are far off the beaten track, far from major roads, and far from popular hiking trails. Some bandits will have maps and many will likely lurk around areas on maps that look like places people travel along and where they can be ambushed.

#5. Shooting

Lots has been said about guns and they are beyond the scope of this article. There’s a mountain of great information out there on which gun to get and how to shoot it but information is useless unless you practice. I recommend you practice with as many as you can since using a pistol is different that shooting a shotgun or a rifle; for those with the time and means, it is good to have experience knowing how to shoot all three.

#6. Hunting and Trapping

Funny enough, trapping isn’t just a skill you learn for catching rabbits and squirrels out in the wild. It can be just as useful in “bug in situations” to catch mice and other rodents that may take a shot at your food stores. Keep in mind that trapping requires a lot of patience as well as knowledge, practice, and snares for various size animals. The question is, do you really need turn to trapping? Well, if you’ll be bugging in or if expect to have a short bug out, you probably won’t. However, things can always go wrong. In a post collapse unfortunately, things probably will go wrong at some point for a lot of people. Trapping is an essential survival skill to learn if you want to be sure you always have a way to feed yourself and your family!

Here are the kind of things that can go wrong with a plan for bugging out: Your bug out may take longer than expected so you might have to spend a week or more out in the wild. Your bug out location can be compromised by the time you get there. Your food stockpile may be spoiled due to one of the five food storage enemies: light, oxygen, moisture, temperature and the aforementioned rodents. You just never know what could go wrong and force you to find alternate food sources. For some people, those capable, that means hunting and trapping.

Since learning key survival skills that help make the Green Berets so adept at what they do, you should also learn one of the traits a true Green Beret is known for: overcoming fear. If you have a fear of bears, for example, in a post collapse world it’s time to overcome that fear and start seeing black bears and grizzlies as food to feed you and your family.

Depending on where you are in the country, realize that a bear can be easier to hunt for than other sought after game like deer or elk. If you’re truly concerned at all about wanting to feed your family in a bug out situation, read the SecretsofSurvival.com article on hunting black bears and grizzlies (you’ll find it under “Wilderness Survival” in the site menu), which, worth repeating, anyone thinking about bugging out should read and take serious consideration to. In fact, a hunter (who knows how to shoot) with no previous experience hunting can be successful hunting bears on the first go.

Why is that? It’s easy to use bait or even just garbage to draw a bear to where you lie in wait. Not only can you feed your family with hundreds of pounds of bear meat for several weeks, but you also reduce the chances of a future bear encounter by reducing the number of bears in your region. Let me restate that: Bear hunting, especially in the first few weeks of a bug out, can both feed your family and also eliminate the number of bears in your region that could otherwise prove to be a threat to your family’s safety in the long run.

#7. Finding and Following Game Trails

Game trails are “trails” made by wildlife (deer, elk, moose, antelope, caribou, bison, etc.) as they follow commonly traveled routes for big game through the forest, often to a water source, and other times to where they know they can find food. Some game trails may even lead you to where large game beds down and sleeps.

In a post-collapse world, traveling trails made by humans can be dangerous as the more popular trails are more likely to be ambushed by crooks looking for someone to rob or murder. Being able to travel using game trails can take you through the wilderness and even mountainous terrain on paths that a lot of people do not know exist.

Game trails can also work as great places for trapping, and of course, spot and stalk techniques for big game hunting (read the article on Elk Hunting / Big Game for all the expert tips on our “Wilderness Survival” page) and even give you places to set up treestands (where you sit and wait for game to come down trail — this works on “secondary” game trails; game trails not used as commonly as primary game trails).

Trapping works for small game but what if you can’t find any? Spotting and stalking game is a hard skill to get down; in other words before you shoot any big game, you have to see it (“spot” game), and then you have to get close to it (“stalk” game); you have to “stalk” close enough for your rifle or bow (if bow hunting) to have a good shot.

Game trails can lead you to water — Keep in mind that where there are game trails, there may also be water close by as most animals will need it at least 2 times a day. In many wilderness areas, all you have to do is follow game trails downhill and you might be lucky enough to find food and water at the same time.

If looking for food, follow game trails facing the wind – Hunters call this being downwind. If the wind is at your back (you are “upwind”), your scent will be blown in the direction you are hunting and the wildlife you’re after is likely to catch your scent; startled by your scent, that wildlife is now likely to flee.

#8. Getting Out Of Zip Ties, Duct Tape and Other Restraints

Few preppers think about the possibility of getting captured but with all the videos ISIS made to scare us, getting out of restraints is something we need to start thinking about.

Plus, during a collapse, there’s a good chance that there’s a psychopath in just about every community who will now become a threat. Right now, your local psychopath works his nine to five job, and the threat of the police and a long prison sentence keeps a lot of people from going out and breaking the law.

Whether it’s a psychopath, or a rapist, you never know who could end up breaking into your home one night or even tackling and making an attempt to turn you into another basement sex slave (greatest risk of course is to women and children).

Or maybe it’s just a neighbor who knows you were prepping and decides to pay you a visit, holds you at gun point, ties you up, steals all your supplies and then leaves you to die, duct taped to a chair, as he then sets the house on fire and walks out.

In short, you get out of zip ties by either breaking them or by picking the locking blade with something really thin, you get out of single-lock handcuffs using a paper clip and you get out of duct tape by raising both your arms up and then bringing them down in a quick motion while spreading your elbows apart. This needs, practice, of course, but it’ll be fun to do with your kids.

It’s one thing for us to put these escape maneuvers into a paragraph; they’ll never work for you unless you first believe how easy these techniques can be to use. Former CIA operative Jason Hanson reveals how to do these techniques in his book, Spy Secrets that Can Save Your Life, which we highly recommend to anyone who wants to know how to escape duct tape (what most criminals use most often to bind a victim), as well as how to escape zip ties, and even how to pick a lock on a set of handcuffs in order to free yourself.

He is known and respected for his skills in teaching spy secrets like these methods to your average Joe or Jane and even had a spot on ABC Shark Tank as a guest commentator; his evasion methods are the real deal.

#9. Camouflaging Yourself in the Wilderness

Speaking of staying hidden, an important bug out skill is knowing how to camouflage yourself while you’re out in the wilderness. You can do things like:

Wear colors that allow you to really blend in with your surroundings.

Using ash or mud to cover your face and hands

Securing vegetation such as grass and branches to your body

Covering your head and shelter with a variety of brush to avoid being detected from above

You don’t really need to pack anything special inside your bug out bag for this (you do need to limit how much weight you’re carrying; you can’t bring everything on a bug out) but do make sure the extra change of clothes you put inside doesn’t have any bold colors.

#10. Medicinal Plants

Have a cut, fever, pains, elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, low on vitamins and minerals? Medicinal plants can offer several ways to bring healing, fever reduction, pain relief, and even be used for a number of specific health conditions. Because this is a lengthy topic covered in other articles on SecretsofSurvival.com, we have included two links for you to read after this one: Herbal Medicine: How Knowing Medicinal Plants Can Save Your Life in an Emergency and The Top Medicinal Plants of North America.

Realize that medicinal plants can be an essential component of survival first aid, can take the place of a doctor’s care (if there are no doctors around and you know what you’re doing), and can even provide daily necessary nutrients for optimal health (common herbs like parsley, cilantro, and even rosemary have specific health properties and there are several other herbs as well to know about).

#11. Self-Defense

No matter how skilled you are with a gun, a knife or a bow and arrow, there isn’t much you can do if you don’t have them or if you run out of ammo. In such cases, your ability to improvise a self-defense weapon might save your life: A crowbar, a large wrench, a baseball bat, a section of rebar, a hammer or even a table leg (if that’s all that’s handy) can each be used as a club if needed.

Sometimes though you may want a weapon that works a lot more like a spear, such as a pitchfork.

What it comes down to is this: A bow and arrow or even a machete can be a weapon for last resort — if you’re cornered, and if you’re capable, and you have no other options for self defense.

If you’ve got a good throwing arm and decent aim, a small rock can knock a person out cold.

While we hope that none of our readers is ever in a situation where life or death comes down defending yourself with a bow and arrow, machete or a pitchfork for that matter, realize that the best method of self defense in several situations may simply be to run and leave your attacker in the dust.

Speaking of dust, a handful of dirt or sand thrown in your attacker’s face just before you move forward to strike can be what turns the tables on your attacker and helps bring the attack to a sudden end. Attacker is down for the count. You live to see another day.

#12. Scouting and Recon

If everything goes to plan, you’ll hunker down inside your home or your bug out location without any bad people showing up to upset things. But what if it doesn’t go according to plan? In reality, who knows how many bad people might be in your proximity, such as desperate crooks, angry mobs and thieving, violent neighbors from down the street.

First, try to work with your immediate neighbors on keeping a “neighborhood watch” along with a way to notify each other about any approaching threats. That may be three fast bursts on a whistle, or a really long drawn out whistle blast that repeats.

In some inner cities, gangs have been known to whistle repeatedly to notify others that someone is in their territory. Consider adapting that same tactic for your own neighborhood.

Reconnaissance on factions and militants – With several factions possibly fighting for territorial control in some areas, you should at least know who’s claiming “influence” over your territory. That’s just one example of why you need to scout the surroundings to gather valuable information about what’s happening around you. Some of the things you might want to notice:

What is happening in surrounding neighborhoods?

What is going on at the local municipal airport or train station, if there’s one nearby?

Are there any factions or militants that have claimed local buildings, and if so, can you tell what their intentions are from a safe distance away (preferably where no one knows you’re “spying” on their activities)?

Schools … Are they being used as refugee centers and to provide emergency first aid and or emergency housing? Or has a faction or militant group moved on to school grounds and claimed it as their own?

Open spaces

Market places

Patrols … Are factions or militants going neighborhood to neighborhood and are they well intentioned? … Or … are they just scouting the neighborhoods during the day to see which houses would be an easy target for a robbery later that evening?)

Some good scouting and working with your neighbors to recon what other neighborhoods are doing nearby can help spot trouble before it shows up unexpectedly and catches you all by surprise.

A few pairs of good binoculars could go a long way.

Stationing a couple look outs (helpful teenagers, who can rotate in shifts) in the tallest trees in your neighborhood is also recommended.

#13. Hot Wiring a Car

In the event of a catastrophe, you might not find your car keys or have the time to look for them — what if they’re buried under rubble?If you live or work in a major city, and disaster strikes, you might find yourself on foot and passing through a dangerous area of town when suddenly some bad people spot you. You realize suddenly that if you don’t get out of dodge fast, you may lose your life.

While we don’t recommend stealing an automobile, if your life is on the line then the day may come where you should know how to hot wire one and get on the road in a hurry. It’s easier than it sounds. Rather than detail the specifics, and plagiarize a good book on the subject, it is one more thing that is covered in the book “Spy Secrets that Can Save Your Life” mentioned earlier.

Older cars are the ones that work for hot wiring; newer cars have complex electronic systems that are almost impossible to start unless you really know what you’re doing and have the right tools.

On the other hand, many preppers prefer having older cars for fear of EMP events. Some of these cars are really easy to start, all you need to do is jam a flat head screwdriver, hit it with a hammer a couple of times and then twist it as you would the key. You may want to look into “EMP proof cars”, that is to say, any older vehicle that has little or no electrical wiring.

#14. Foraging

Unless you’re bugging out to Antarctica, you’ll be sure to find plenty of wild edibles you can just pick up and eat — if you know where to look and where some wild edibles are commonly found.

The two main benefits are that you don’t need to cook them and that you can find a few as you grow. The fact that some of these plants can be found in cities or even your own back yard is all the more reason why you need to learn to recognize them. Some of the wild edibles that are safe to eat:

Clovers

Dandelions

Wild asparagus

Ground ivy

Arugula

#15. Bartering and Negotiation

Whether the dollar is going to be worth anything post-collapse is hard to say, but you should be able to barter and negotiate regardless. You can barter your food, your water, your ammo and even some of your abilities such as building at home water filtration systems (with everyday materials), woodworking, plumbing etc. Keep in mind that one thing we’ll all have a lot of post-collapse is time — so it’s better to barter your time and skills than your limited stockpile.

One other service that will be in high demand: Fortifications. People will be smart to fortify their homes using any means possible if a collapse takes place.

Windows can be boarded up, doors and porches can have defensive measures added that can either scare off an intruder or make it extremely difficult to enter your home without first having broken through your defensive measures. Which of course would make a lot of noise. Those defensive measures can include lots of barbed wire, every door on your home can be nailed shut with braces in place (except for one door, which you would use to enter and exit your residence), and any brush surrounding your home can be dug up and removed (making it harder for an evening prowler to make a late night home invasion. Shallow trenches can be dug around your yard and even sandbags piled up in front of your doorway — making it look like you are a bit extreme when it comes to home security.

Many a would-be robber might easily decide that you’re a homeowner he probably shouldn’t mess with.

#16. Running Legs

Whether you find yourself embarking on a serious a bug out or a lengthy get home situation, you might have to run like hell at some point. Only problem is, if you’re out of shape or have a bad knee or something along those lines, it may be nearly impossible to run for more than a few people.

You should make your BOB and get home bags lighter but, really, the most important thing is to get those knee problems handled or find a set of really good knee braces worn by runners, which can make a difference for some people, and lessen or eliminate knee pain all together. What if you can’t run, even with those knee braces? Just like a deaf person compensates with better eyesight, you too will have to compensate for your lack of mobility with other skills such as being able to disappear into the crowd and become a “gray man” as it’s said.

#17. Look Like a Gray Man

When you need to make your rounds anywhere, and want to avoid being robbed, take on the appearance of a rough and tumble homeless person or (if you’re an older male) 1970s era Vietnam Vet who’s had a rough go in life and has spent a few years on the streets. If someone says something to you, or tries to corner you, just stumble on by with a distant look in your eyes, not even seeing them, and even swat at an invisible “voice”. It comes down to this: If you look or seem a bit off your rocker any possible bad people may just look the other way, which is what they’ve been doing for years beforehand to people with these kinds of disabilities. Looking and acting a bit off your rocker is an easy way to get ignored by society at large. Try it sometime. Men, grow out your beard and hair, coat your arms, hands, and fingernails in dirt and even some grease (which you can find on the motor of any vehicle), create some bags under your eyes, put some stench on your clothes, practice mumbling to yourself and looking down at your feet. Take off your shoes and walk around in a pair of dirty, torn socks or just go barefoot and make sure your feet are dirty when you do.

What about your bug out bag? Take everything out of your BOB and roll it up, placing both your bag and its contents into a couple black pillow cases, rub some dirt and grease on the pillow cases, put some garbage at the top, and just attempt to walk on by. You and or your family can look like a gang of gypsies out foraging for trash with the hope that you don’t look like some well off folks who have anything worth taking. An extreme step, sure — but if it gets you through a bad area of town or by a group of militants or bandits out in the countryside then it was worth it. (Don’t just look homeless — you need to smell homeless also; you need that dirt and grease on your hands, and in your hair, and the dirtier your teeth, the better. These are little details not too overlook in your “disguise”, when it’s life or death we’re talking about).

#18. Diplomacy

Whether you’re bartering, being kidnapped or trying to diffuse a conflict, you can’t do it if you let your emotions dictate what you say and how you behave. This is something peacekeeping troops such as the Green Berets and the Blue Helmets are taught in order for them to ensure that, no matter where they end up, the locals will get along with them and with each-other. Green Berets are also called “warrior-diplomats” and, in a sense, that’s exactly what we should be as well. A sincere and friendly, yet no-nonsense countenance can go a long way to help make this happen. Being liked and respected, through great diplomacy, can open doors and get you places.

#19. Basic Medical Skills

Things like giving first aid, performing CPR, carrying a wounded person or splinting a broken limb can literally save your life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. If you don’t know where to start, I suggest a first aid course and additional studies on survival first aid and application.

#20. Climbing a Tree or on to a Ledge or Roof

If you’re being chased in the forest or even an urban environment, what’s the one thing you can do to lose someone? Well, if you have enough head start, you can climb a tree and hope the guy is far enough behind that he has no idea that you went up a tree (or onto a ledge or roof top). Climbing trees, ledges, or on to roofs does take practice, especially with a backpack on.

If you’re out in the woods and there’s a river nearby, consider getting within range of the river before going up a tree; if it’s flowing fast enough, the sound of the river can help hide any noise you make as you climb tree branches. Be sure to pick a tree with several low branches and one that can get you up high off the ground, the higher the better; at the same time, you want a tree that will be difficult to spot you in if someone on the ground suspects you went up in a tree nearby. Good camouflage for both you and your pack can go a long way in helping you stay hidden.

#21. Keeping the Faith

If you throw in your lot with a gang of thieves and murderers, you’re likely to meet a violent end at some point along the way. Thieves and murderers can turn on each other at anytime. A wiser move is to hold on to your faith in God, living with the knowledge that God promises to bring an end to the many dangers that have been set loose in the world and finally make things right (promises in the Bible about the end of days if you’re brave enough to read it and live by it). Even if it’s your first time considering “God”, it’s still not too late to get right with God. Jesus is knocking …

Final Word

How should you go about learning this long list of survival skills? You can start with the basics: Making an improvised camouflaged shelter, purifying water on the go, and finding your preference for an emergency fire starter, one or more which you can pack to take up the least amount of space and still be counted on several times in an emergency. Once you master these basic survival skills, you can continue with the others in the order in which YOU think they’ll assist you in whatever disaster scenarios you’re preparing for.

Like the Green Berets, definitely get a handle on diplomacy as a necessary survival skill; and then, like the Green Berets again, when diplomacy doesn’t work — or simply isn’t an option — either be able to make a run for it — or, if able — hit the enemy hard and fast, using speed, surprise, and overwhelming aggression in your favor.

Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner?  Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order?  Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the “end times”?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a “potential terrorist” according to official U.S. government documents.

At one time, the term “terrorist” was used very narrowly. The official definition of terrorism is “The use, or threat, of force with the intention of achieving a political goal.” That makes it pretty clear what sort of people are covered, and for decades it worked well.  The government applied the label “terrorist” to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists.  But the Obama administration removed all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term “terrorist” was applied to large groups of American citizens.

And if you are a “terrorist”, that means that you have no rights and the government can treat you just like it treats the terrorists that were being held at Guantanamo Bay.  So if you belong to a group of people that is now being referred to as “potential terrorists”, please don’t take it as a joke.  The first step to persecuting any group of people is to demonize them.  And right now large groups of peaceful, law-abiding citizens are being ruthlessly demonized.

Below is a list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” and “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents.  To see the original source document for each point, just click on the link.  As you can see, this list covers most of the country…

The groups of people in the list above are considered “problems” that need to be dealt with.  In some of the documents referenced above, members of the military are specifically warned not to have anything to do with such groups.

We are moving into a very dangerous time in American history.  You can now be considered a “potential terrorist” just because of your religious or political beliefs.  Free speech is becoming a thing of the past, and we are rapidly becoming an Orwellian society that is the exact opposite of what our founding fathers intended.

Preparing to survive in a post-SHTF world is challenging. More than anything, we have to realize that we’re preparing blind. We don’t know what sort of disaster we’re facing or what the post-disaster world is going to look like. With those two pieces of information missing, it’s hard to know exactly how people will react and what they will do. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst.

There is a wide-ranging assumption that public servants will abandon their posts. I would have to say that this assumption is totally unfair. We live in a hurricane zone and my wife is a city employee. She and her co-workers are required to agree that they will stay on the job, protecting the citizens of the city and keeping city services running, both during and after a hurricane. While a few might abandon their posts if things get bad enough, most seem to be people who will follow through on that requirement.

But what about a worst-case scenario? What about in the wake of an EMP or other grid-destroying event, which would result in a true breakdown of society and the banking system; a situation where they would no longer be paid to do their jobs?

That’s a difficult question. For some, like my wife, their positions probably wouldn’t exist anymore. But the real issue here is emergency workers and law enforcement officers. We would greatly need their services in the wake of such a serious disaster. Would they stay on the job or would they feel they had to abandon their posts to care for their families?

There’s really no way of knowing the answer to that question until the time comes. It is a very individual question, so I imagine that some will stay, while others leave. Whether they stay or leave will largely determine whether they are friend or foe.

The Cops Who Stay on the Job

Police officers tend to be highly disciplined individuals, much like soldiers. In fact, many start out as soldiers, then move to law enforcement when they get out of the military. As such, they are largely people with a high regard for the law. Oh, there are the few bad apples; but despite stories saying otherwise, there aren’t many of them.

Those who stay on the job will be concerned with maintaining law and order in the worst of circumstances. They will also be subject to the politicians who are still in place over them. This means that if those politicians declare martial law, they will most likely enforce martial law, unless they believe that to be an unlawful order.

This could get sticky. As we saw during Hurricane Katrina, declaring martial law would probably mean they would be confiscating guns as well. That would put the police in the position of appearing to be the enemy in the eyes of any Second Amendment supporter. Whether or not they actually became an enemy would depend on how you, I and other gun owners would react to them. If we use force to reject their orders to turn over our guns, they will use force in response. That makes them our de-facto enemies.

The Cops Who Abandon their Posts

Some police officers may choose to abandon their posts, especially if they feel that their families are in danger. In that case, the question is what they will do to protect and care for their families. While there are very few bad cops out there, there is always the possibility that a cop will turn bad in such circumstances, out of desperation to take care of their families.

These people will be dangerous, because they will be able to present themselves to the public as law-enforcement officers, when in fact they are acting like criminals. There could even be some cases in smaller communities, where the police take over, much as warlords take over in times of anarchy. Should that happen, the police in question would be extremely dangerous.

It would be our duty, in such a case, to stand up against the police. But here’s the problem. How do you tell if what they are doing is in the public interest, or just in self-interest? If they are acting in the public interest, our duty is to support them, so we need to be sure they are the enemy, before treating them as such.

The National Guard

If military forces are called out to help gain control, it will be the National Guard, not the active military. US law prohibits the use of US military forces within the borders of the United States. Even if politicians in high places wanted to use the regular Army, it is doubtful that Army officers, all of whom know that prohibition in the law, would allow it.

But state Governors can call out the National Guard to help law enforcement in maintaining law and order. It’s not unusual for this to happen in the case of natural disasters. I would say that we should expect it to happen in a true SHTF scenario.

National Guard forces are US Army reserve soldiers and formations, which are “owned” by the governors of the several states. They serve a dual role, both as state owned military forces and reserves for the federal forces. If called out in a disaster situation, they could serve either to support law-enforcement or to provide disaster relief. In either case, they would be armed.

Should martial law be declared, it is highly likely that the National Guard would be called out. If guns are confiscated, they are the ones who would most likely do the confiscation. They would probably be as polite as possible about it; but if they decided to obey that order, they would do their best to fulfill it.

However, the National Guard, like other military forces, is made up of predominantly conservatives. There’s a very good chance that they would refuse an order to disarm the population. Military officers swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and they would likely see the disarm order as a clear violation of the Second Amendment. As such, it would be their duty to refuse that order.

UN Troops

Of all these options, UN troops is the most dangerous. Any decision to use UN troops would have to be made at the federal government level. Were such a decision to be made, the troops which would be brought in to help maintain civil order would not be American troops. They would be unfamiliar with our culture (other than what they had seen in movies) and unfamiliar with our laws.

To these troops, a firearm confiscation order would seem perfectly reasonable, especially when you consider that they would probably come from a country where they don’t enjoy our Second Amendment protections. There would be no appeal to them on the grounds of our Constitution.

Should this happen, refusing an order to turn over your guns would be dangerous. The only thing that would protect any of us is the fact that there is no federal gun registration. Even so, there are states which require a permit to own guns, as well as concealed carry licenses which many of us have. That would give them a starting point for where to look.

Getting into a battle with armed troops is foolish. In such a situation, the only practical recourse is to hide all your guns where they won’t be able to find them, with the exception of a few, which you could then allow them to confiscate, making them think you’ve obeyed the order.

Regardless of the specific situation we would end up encountering, chances are that any police or military forces which were still in operation, would be there as part of whatever government managed to survive. Unless such forces decide to go rogue, we can count on them being there to help.

That doesn’t mean they’ll be our friends though. Unless you know them personally, they will look on you with suspicion, just like they will everyone else. Anyone carrying a weapon openly will be suspect. That doesn’t mean that they’ll hassle you, take away your weapons, fire upon you or arrest you; it just means that they will be watching to make sure that you aren’t a problem that they need to deal with.

The best thing you and I will be able to do in such a situation is to keep ourselves below the radar, so that we aren’t noticed. If we are not noticed, hopefully we will be left alone.

Should orders go out to confiscate any supplies that are stockpiled, it would probably be a good time to put our bug out plans into effect. Hopefully, we’ll all have a cache of supplies elsewhere, so that when we lose the supplies that we have stockpiled at home, we’ll still be okay.

Recently there have been some appalling cases that underline how far the American Congress has separated itself from any tangible national interest.

Mark Twain once wrote that “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” Some developments over the past several weeks would certainly support that judgement if one regards a country’s legislative body as a mechanism intended to benefit the public that it is elected to serve. The hypocrisy of America’s two major parties is something to behold, with corruption at a level that is rarely attained in most third world countries.

Recently there have been some appalling cases that underline how far the American Congress has separated itself from any tangible national interest if one excludes getting rich and reelected, in whichever order one seeks to go about that. One of the best at getting rich and reelected in spite of not having two brain cells to rub together is the esteemed Maxine Waters of California, who has starred in her recent attempt to inspire an angry mob to get more “confrontational” if the murder trial of Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin were to go the wrong way through a failure to convict.

Now bear in mind that we Americans live in a no-fault no-accountability society, where no one is guilty of anything unless he or she is caught red handed and has no protectors in place to deny that anything at all happened. As Maxine has plenty of defenders because she is black, a woman and, most of all, a Democrat, it should have been expected that in her case a call to riot by a congressman would be treated as a non-event, and so it proved when the GOP made a feeble attempt to censure her for her behavior.

As Maxine represents part of California, her appearance in Minnesota was little more than race baiting with a threat of violence thrown in. Attempts to characterize it as free speech on her part ignore the fact that she is a government official, paid for generously by the taxpayer, and a call to violence by one part of the citizenry directed against both the legal system and another constituency cannot be considered acceptable. It is indeed impeachable.

One has to wonder who paid for Waters’ Minnesota trip and marvel at her audacity when she asked for and received an armed police escort for her own safety as she traveled to and from the airport. Perhaps her calls to de-fund the police were on hold until after she completed her travels. It is also important to realize that due to the seniority afforded by her 29 years in office she is, in spite of her lack of anything describable as patriotism of even integrity, part of the House Democratic leadership. She’s Chief Majority Whip, has been the chairperson of the House Black Caucus, and is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee. Never before has anyone attained so much having so little to offer.

But the story does not end there, which is where the true mendacity of the U.S. Congress comes to the surface. When the Republicans rightly attempted to censure Waters it was inevitable that the recent impeachment of President Donald Trump for the use of incendiary language when addressing a crowd at the Capitol on January 6^th would come up, but the Democratic Party leadership was having none of that. The Hill reports that shortly before the Waters censure vote, rather than accepting that the two offenses were of a kind, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer instead delivered a threat, warning the Republican leadership that forcing a roll call on censuring Waters would make it more difficult to justify not taking similar action targeting Republican members of Congress. “This makes it harder, however, not to proceed on numerous [similar] resolutions on my side of the aisle” he said.

So the game is on under new rules. The leadership of the Democratic and Republican Parties have declared that they will impose punishment, including censure, suspension and even expulsion, on House and Senate members who defy the consensus on appropriate behavior, which itself has become heavily politicized.

The first Republican who is likely to feel the wrath of the Democratic controlled Congress is Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Representative Jimmy Gomez of California has already circulated a draft letter renewing his earlier effort to expel her from Congress. Gomez cited Greene for her alleged promotion of violence against other members of Congress. In his letter he included her promotion of “Anglo-Saxon political traditions” as yet another justification for her expulsion from Congress. The “Dear Colleague” letter begins with “[E]veryone – including House Republican leadership – knew this stunt was nothing more than an effort to promote white supremacy in the United States Congress.” He, of course, also claimed that she was engaged in the “brazen promotion of anti-Semitism and racism.” Somehow the anti-Semitism tag always seems to make it into these documents.

Gomez’s expulsion resolution already has 72 Democratic co-sponsors. House Democrats as well as 11 Republicans had already voted in February to strip Greene of her committee assignments over her alleged past endorsements of violence against Democrats and embrace of conspiracy theories to include suggesting that some mass shootings have been staged.

Greene, for her part, has tit for tat submitted a resolution to expel Waters based on her encouraging supporters to harass Trump administration officials when they made public appearances in 2018 while also saying a year earlier that she would “go and take Trump out tonight. “This is nothing new from Maxine Waters. She has been inciting violence and terrorism for the last 29 years,” Greene said in a statement.

Despite the current wave of lawmakers introducing measures to formally sanction each other, it seldom occurs that the House actually takes such a drastic step. Only 23 lawmakers have been censured in the House’s history and only five were expelled, mostly for actual criminal behavior. Nevertheless, the new environment condoning punishment of colleagues in Congress is only just gaining momentum and the Democrats clearly have the whip hand with their control of both houses of Congress and the presidency. To be sure, free speech is the most important liberty guaranteed in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States, but the right of legislators to call on citizens to break the law up to and including the destruction of that very government that pays them and gives them their status has to be challenged. Say what they will when they are out of office, but when they take that oath of loyalty to the constitution it means that they are pledged to support all of those structures and safeguards that that foundational document has established.

The American Ruling Class is deliberately attacking the country’s core demographic group at just the same time that it is picking fights with major powers like Russia, China, and even Turkey. The Biden Administration is demonizing whites as the main domestic threat and is developing a complicated racial caste system that punishes whites for their mere existence. Currently, an indebted, belligerent, imperialist U.S. is being propped up by naïve, well-meaning whites. But unless whites are treated better within this bizarre postmodern imperium, they will cease to identify with it and will focus on building alternatives here at home.

Of course, we must give credit where credit is due—Joe Biden is supposedly going to end America’s longest war, something President Trump tried but failed to achieve [Biden tells Americans ‘we cannot continue the cycle’ in Afghanistan as he announces troop withdrawal, by Anne Gearan, Karen DeYoung, and Tyler Pager, Washington Post, April 14, 2021]. Yet even this claim requires skepticism. Biden’s action leaves open a door for renewed commitment if there is violence this spring [Joe Biden Isn’t Ending the War in Afghanistan, by Branko Marcetic, Jacobin, April 16, 2021].

However, even bringing the troops home is certain to be coupled with a movement to bring Afghani “refugees”—and their resentments and grievances—to America [The US Must Help Afghans Who Helped It, by James Schwemlein and Earl Anthony Wayne, The Diplomat, April 8, 2021]. To make a comparison to black Americans’ “Double V” campaign in World War II, symbolizing Victory in war and increased Civil Rights, white Americans today get to suffer a “Double L”—losing wars overseas and Constitutional rights at home.

The unwinnable war abroad ends in a debacle that will probably bring the Taliban back to power and saddle America with refugees. Those who think such refugees will be filled with gratitude need only reference our experiences with the Hmong, the endless waves of Central Americans, or, for that matter, Rep. Ilhan Omar. Bottom line: we have been defeated abroad and occupied at home.

Moreover, it seems we’re not stepping back from unnecessary military intervention but merely pivoting. The Globalist American Empire is preparing to take on China over “human rights” [EXCLUSIVE Biden will push allies to act on China forced labor at G7 – adviser, by Trevor Hunnicutt and Andrea Shalal, Reuters, April 23, 2021] Yet simultaneously, Biden also wants China to help with the amorphous and undefinable goal of preventing “climate change.”

Chinese leaders have no reason to actually go along with anything that would hurt its economy. [China’s Solar Dominance Presents Biden With an Ugly Dilemma, by Ana Swanson and Brad Plumer, New York Times, April 20, 2021]. Any “partnership” on tech would also lead to further American vulnerabilities thanks to America’s ridiculous policy of giving Chinese nationals access to national security secrets. It’s not surprising these Chinese side with their real country. So America is simultaneously approaching China as beggar and belligerent, and I doubt Beijing will respond with anything other than contempt.

Furthermore, China is furthering its partnership with Russia [China and Russia UNITING to test Biden: Putin and Xi seeing how US responds, by Marco Giannageli, Express, April 25, 2021]. Russia recently terrified Europe with a buildup on the Ukrainian border before coolly withdrawing forces and proclaiming it was all just an exercise [Putin Is Keeping the West Guessing and That’s Just Fine With Him, by Henry Meyer and Irina Reznik, Bloomberg, April 24, 202]. President Putin has also warned of a tough and “asymmetric” response if the United States continues to pressure his country [Putin threatens ‘asymmetric’ and ‘tough’ response to US sanctions, by Max Seddon and Henry Foy, Financial Times, April 21, 2021].

Russia is weak compared to the United States, but a united Russian-Chinese bloc would be a formidable foe [The US has been getting ‘its ass handed to it’ in war games simulating fights against Russia and China, by Ryan Pickrell, Business Insider, March 8, 2019]. Why pick this fight?

Of course, one check on the Russian/Chinese bloc would be Turkey. I suspect Turkey’s vocal support for Ukraine in the recent crisis is one reason Putin may have backed down [Turkey’s Erdogan voices support for Ukraine amid crisis, DW, April 10, 2021]. Yet the Biden Administration has just insulted Turkey by recognizing the Armenian genocide. To be clear, it was genocide. And decisive Western action against Turkey because of its weaponization of the “refugee” flow into Europe has been due for some time. However, one must ask what this declaration is really worth [Why Biden’s Armenian Genocide Declaration Really Is a Big Deal, by Charlie Mahtesian, Politico, April 24, 2021]. Washington was nowhere to be found when Turkish-backed Azerbaijani forces successfully defeated Armenia in a recent war [In Azerbaijan, Winning the War in Nagorno-Karabakh Was Easier Than Reconciling With Armenia, by Ann Simmons, Wall Street Journal, January 29, 2021]. This latest action will simply push Turkey’s Recep Erdogan into closer ties with Russia [Biden puts Erdogan under high pressure, The Arab Weekly, April 23, 2021].

It’s hard to imagine a more unlikely alliance than one between China, Russia, and Turkey, all of which have serious territorial and diplomatic grievances against each other. Incredibly, Washington seems to be creating it.

Internationally, this means America needs to be strong. However, the Biden Administration is deliberately undermining America’s own moral position, with the new ambassador to the UN helpfully explaining to the world that America is inherently racist [Why does Biden let the UN ambassador tell the world the US is racist? By Quin Hillyer, Washington Examiner, April 17, 2021]. If that’s so, why should China or Russia suffer American lectures about “human rights?”

Washington is also gearing up for increased repression against whites. While studiously ignoring a staggering nationwide crime wave, Regime Media outlets and think tanks are circulating dubious reports about supposedly soaring white “domestic terrorism.” This provides the justification for the military to hunt for “extremists” in its own ranks [Pentagon report warns of threat from white supremacists inside the military, by Dan DeLuce, NBC News, February 25, 2021]. The American military’s readiness is already questionable [GAO report sees U.S. military readiness slipping, by Mike Glenn, Washington Times, April 8, 2021]. Making the military “woke” will hardly prepare it to meet a serious challenge from serious countries [The Meaning of the Woke Military, by Frank Bennett, American Mind, March 25, 2021].

Where does this leave American whites? The case of Army Sgt. First Class Jonathan Pentland is representative. Doing what we are supposed to do in the post #MeToo world, Pentland “listened and believed.” A woman wanted help, so he confronted a mentally ill man in the neighborhood. In a normal society, this would not be a story, unless was about how Pentland did the right thing. However, because Pentland is white and the man he confronted is black, the Army instantly turned on Pentland and denounced him. It is currently groveling and saying Pentland’s behavior doesn’t reflect “Army Values” [White Fort Jackson soldier charged in altercation with a Black man to be prosecuted in civilian courts, by Sarah Sicard, Army Times, April 23, 2021]

That’s probably right; whatever it is that the Army brass does these days, it has nothing to do with protecting Americans.

In this context, I personally find the Biden Administration’s authorization for embassies to fly the homosexual-rights Rainbow Flag on the same pole as the American flag almost commendable. It honestly shows the world what the Globalist American Empire is really all about [Biden admin. grants ‘blanket authorization’ to fly Pride flag at embassies, by Conor Finnegan, ABC, April 23, 2021].

The Rainbow Flag has real moral significance to our rulers. Burning an American flag isn’t even news; burning a pride flag, or a BLM sign, is a “hate crime.” That’s because “Americans” no longer really have an identity, while the Coalition of the Oppressed do, along with powerful interests willing to back them with money, legal protection, and officially-sanctioned violence.

Indeed, I expect that this is just the beginning. The BLM flag will probably be next at embassies (Marjorie Taylor Greene’s efforts notwithstanding). And the Pride flag, if anything, will be changed because the current one isn’t inclusive enough. [Why Many LGBT People Have Started Using A New Pride Flag, by Jamie Wareham, Forbes, July 12, 2020].

Decades ago, in what seems another lifetime, I remember the feeling of personal outrage after the September 11 terrorist attacks. It wasn’t just that my country was attacked, but my cities and my friends.

In the years since, many of my friends served in Afghanistan. None I know thought they accomplished anything politically.

Now, the same blustering military chiefs who insult whites are preparing to admit defeat (though they won’t call it that) in America’s longest war.

Rather than feeling anger or shame at this national humiliation, instead I feel something like schadenfreude against them—along with righteous indignation on behalf of the countless patriots used up and spat out by a System unworthy of their sacrifice.

Corporate America, the Deep State, the journalists, and the military leadership have all made it very clear that they hate whites and want to replace them [These Key Similarities Between Lenin’s Red Terror and America’s Woke Culture Reveal Left’s Blueprint for Complete Takeover, Revolver, April 15, 2021]

Why should we try to save them from their own follies or defend their System, especially when they seem so determined to start more unnecessary wars?

We’re already being punished by having to pay taxes to subsidize our dispossession.

The only war what’s left of the Historic American Nation needs to worry about is the one being waged against it at home.

FBI Violated Constitution to Track ‘Far-Right Extremists’—Months *BEFORE* Capitol Riots

The FBI’s requests for access to masses of electronic communications harvested by the National Security Agency (NSA) is revealed in a newly declassified report

The Federal Bureau of Investigation knowingly violated the Constitution to track down potential ‘racially motivated violent extremists.’ But the FBI didn’t conduct its unconstitutional dragnet following the January 6th Capitol riots, it actually started its probe in November — in the midst of a contested election.

A newly declassified report shows that the FBI pursued extremists in November that would fit the profile of future Capitol rioters by tapping into a National Security Agency database that trawls and records Americans’ communications.

“The FBI’s requests for access to masses of electronic communications harvested by the National Security Agency (NSA) is revealed in a newly declassified report from the United States’ secret surveillance court,” the Daily Mail reported on Monday.

“It shows the FBI has continued to perform warrantless searches through the NSA’s most sensitive databases for routine criminal investigations, despite being told by a federal judge in 2018 and 2019 that such a use was an unconstitutional breach of privacy,” the report continued.

The declassified FISA report makes the legal procedures for targeting an actor for surveillance clear.

“NSA is the lead agency in making targeting decisions under Section 702,” the report says. “It may not task a selector without first determining that the target is reasonably believed to be a non-U.S. person outside the United States (a ‘foreignness determination’).”

The FBI is extensively using the NSA’s database for routine domestic investigations, despite knowing that the practice is illegal.

“In other words, the FBI continues to perform warrantless searches through the NSA’s most sensitive databases—the ones the NSA is not required to get warrants before filling with communications information—for routine criminal investigations that are supposed to require warrants,” the Daily Beast reported.

While such reports focus on the extent that the FBI violated civil liberties, the rule of law, and Constitutional restrictions against illegal search and seizure, there is the matter of timing that makes them even more explosive.

As reported here extensively, the Democratic Party knew about and was planning for a volatile situation on January 6th that could potentially foment into a riot.

House impeachment manager Rep. Stacey Plaskett revealed a glimpse of such advanced knowledge on the second day of the Trump impeachment trial.

“The day before the rioters stormed the Congress an FBI office in Virginia also issued an explicit warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and, quote, war, according to internal reports,” she said.

“Leading up to the event there were hundreds, hundreds of posts online showing that his supporters took this as a call to arms to attack the Capitol,” she continued. “There were detailed posts of plans to attack online. Law enforcement warned that these posts were real threats and even made arrests days leading up to the attack.”

Rep. Maxine Waters also revealed in an interview just after the Capitol riots she had warned the Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund about the danger several days prior to the attack.

Nonetheless, the Capitol Police was effectively issued a ‘stand down’ order, the NY Times recently confirmed, and the National Guard was ordered to maintain a light presence. This is unusual on its face, given that the nation’s most influential politicians had gathered for one of the most divisive events in decades.

But the organized left’s planning for expected protests extends into early 2020, when a shadowy collection of union leaders, radical organizations, and corporations sought out ways to “fortify” the upcoming election against a potential uprising.

In a “Time” article titled, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” the advanced planning was revealed.

On March 3, Podhorzer drafted a three-page confidential memo titled “Threats to the 2020 Election.” “Trump has made it clear that this will not be a fair election, and that he will reject anything but his own re-election as ‘fake’ and rigged,” he wrote. “On Nov. 3, should the media report otherwise, he will use the right-wing information system to establish his narrative and incite his supporters to protest.”

The language here is enlightening. According to the memo’s prediction, Trump “will use the right-wing information system to establish his narrative and incite his supporters to protest.” This suggests that the “incitement” narrative, invoked at former President Trump’s impeachment trial, had been set months in advance.

The new revelations about the FBI further suggest that the law enforcement agency has become nothing more than an arm for the Democratic Party’s political witch hunts. If the FBI was a non-partisan agency, it would have been seeking out left-wing agitators such as Antifa and radical BLM activists, which caused billions in damage and killed dozens at riots throughout 2020.

Instead, the FBI would violate the law to seek out “right-wing extremists” that did a fraction of the destruction of radical groups, and who is not provably found to have killed anyone at the January 6th Capitol riot.
