Political Intrigue: To Take Down a President - The System is Rotten

The Plot to Destroy Trump

The ongoing effort to destroy Trump that clearly began within the previous administration shows the lengths of corruption not of Trump but of his opponents as they use the powers of government to subvert the will of the voters.  Worse, the crimes of the opponents actually represent exactly what they accuse Trump and his administration of doing.  It is painful to watch as our country suffers such corruption. 

What this means to your personal survival and safety:

Our government is out of control.  Stay out of their grasp if possible and observe how ruthless and devoid of principles the establishment truly has become. 

Build and live your life to not be dependent on the government and to rely on your family, friends, and community for sustenance and survival.  Uncle Sam is having a bad time of it right now and his long term viability as a free country is clearly in question. 

Invasion Update: 50 Billion per year cost of immigration to USA, German Migrants Get to Stay

50 Billion plus social pain for Americans - a world anti poverty program

Anyone on the bottom rung of society should know that we pay every day for the new arrivals and the cost comes out of income, increased taxes to support social programs, and less cohesiveness of society.

The USA is all but Gone!

German Migrant Agency keeps them in country no matter how improved their home country has become.

The plan is clear.  Once in Germany migrants are intended to stay there by the social engineers.

Germany is Gone

Financial Collapse Update: Dollar to Rise?

Dollar to Rise?  - Tax cuts may give the dollar a temporary strengthening. 

Still, what does that have to do with the eventual debasement of the currency.  The dollar may increase in relative value against the other fiat currencies but in the end you have nothing but promises.  Still, if there is a strong economy to support a currency there is at least the belief that the currency may survive, however low in value.

Fake News and Bias in Media

Kelly

Read the article.  If you can't tell the bias of the writer you have been subsumed into the collective.  Forget the subject who is Kelly, and instead find the opinion stated as fact about others like Hannity, and O'Reilly. 

The point of this is to help you develop a discerning eye to actually find facts rather than propaganda and what we now call Fake News.   Opinion put out as fact is the biggest problem with media today.

Contagion Update: Plague 9 Countries

Plague

Sure, keep those borders open and bring them all in. 

Digital Archiving

What is better paper or data?

This is a great article on the upsides and downsides of paper and digital storage.  Bottom line is to have redundant backups in every format or at least in two.

External physical hard drives:

I have multiple external hard drives that I update once a week or so and keep them in physically separate locations so even a home fire won't take them all out.  You can keep one in a shed or a parked car rather than with the computer you are trying to backup.  You can even keep one at the office, and I also have a table top external next to the computer that I don't keep plugged into it but allow for the weekly backup so that in the event of a crashed hard drive on the computer I don't lose the whole thing.

Cloud Storage:

Add in some online backup capability like Google Drive, Dropbox, and actual cloud backup services and you should have it covered.

Whatever you do, don't just rely on one method and especially one that is purely cloud based no matter how reliable it has been for you in the past.

Scanning your documents:

 

Do it regularly when you receive them and add them to a folder such as a  yearly one.  For example 2017.  You can always create subfolders but the best way is to title your documents very well so that the search capability for files can do the job of organization for you.  I have found that just having files broken down into yearly increments makes it much easier to guess where the file is held.

Another method you can also add is to do a DVD data file backup that you can use to store things like photos and personal videos in such a quantity that you might have a full copy of every family photo that exists.  If these are all sharable with family members you can add redundancy by sending copies to all siblings so that in a worst case scenario you could retrieve a copy from them to make yourself one in the event of a home fire or other catastrophe.

I have also found that even a 16gb key chain USB device holds all my family records so that I keep a copy on my key chain that is encrypted.

Paper:

 

Sure paper is a good format for some backups such as your personally written poetry or novel, but keep in mind this format is not easily made digital again where it can be edited.  Instead, have an emergency bookshelf copy for yourself say if you want to read your poetry after an EMP attack that makes all other means of finding your precious work impossible.  You can then read your artistic handiwork while nibbling on a can of cold beans or sardines as you contemplate how life used to be before you revisited the 19th century.  Oh, and have lots of oils lamps and lamp oil for this if it comes to it.

 Audio and Video:

If what you have to worry about is video or audio I'd keep CD and DVD backups as well.  Even video of items you own not only comes in handy for insurance purposes but it might serve to fill the gap of ownership if you sell it or lose it somehow. 

Final Thoughts

If you don't do backups expect pain at some point in your digital life.  Even if you're primarily a paper storage person it makes perfect sense to secure a digital copy as your backup in the event of a physical catastrophe such as fire, flood, theft, or just plain old loss by accident.

Collusion Narrative Flips

Treason and Jail For Don Jr.

Crickets from Media on DNC and Hillary Revelations of Fake Dossier

Laws Broken Complaint against Hillary and DNC

The big problem here is the media.  They have continued on the Fake Narrative but now that it has turned on Hillary it seems their interest isn't very high. 

The deep state is intent on taking out Trump and anything that doesn't go in that direction will be ignored by the media.

Do the people have a say in things.  It appears that elections only mean so much.

Invasion Update: Eberplatz No Go Zone, Cali English,

Eberplatz

The Merkel plan is working.  Replace Germans with others.

Cali - Half Don't speak English in Home

California is gone.

Coming Soon: Pandemic, Internet Down - Reaper Botnet, Russia ICBM

World Officials plan for Pandemic

Same news.  We're waiting for it to happen.

 Reaper Botnet 

Prepare for life post Internet just in case.


Russia ICBM can beat US Defense

At least we can feel better that we sold off 20% of our Uranium to help build these.  So much for the government protecting the citizens.

Financial Collapse Update: Gold wins, Gold. US Deserves to Fail, The Writing is on the Wall - Schiff

Gold Wins Out in a world of lies
As with anything, diversify.  Have as many back-up plans as you can come up with and afford.

 Gold but not for central banks
The bottom line is that even gold backed it is possible for theft and deception.   Trust nothing but metal in your hand.

Denninger - The US Deserves to Fail
So all is rotten and the stench from Mordor (DC) reeks so badly you can smell it in flyover country.

GDP is Bogus - the rot within
No Kidding

Schiff- the writing is on the wall
If you have no gold or silver this might at least have you considering it.  If all you have is a stock portfolio then enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Fasting for Survival Training and Health

Fasting for life extension and health

Add mental preparedness for post collapse food shortages as another benefit of fasting.

Invasion Update: French Town, Sanctuary Cities USA - Crime, 60 million 1 in 5

French Town Invaded - Pleads for help
Britain is done.  Most of them are using this town as a stopover.

Deputy Murdered - Illegal from Sanctuary City
This is happening all the time.  It would be nice to charge the leaders allowing these attackers to live among us with conspiracy.

60 Million 1 in 5 are Immigrants in the USA
 Do you think we have enough.  The tipping point has probably already been reached but flooding in more can only destabilize the culture further.  Pay attention to the ongoing culture war that is part of this overall program for destabilization. 

Narcissistic Altruism
Fools. 

Hatchet Throwing

Hatchet Throwing in the USA

We'll all be down to that eventually when they take everything else including kitchen knives.

I'd consider this relatively low on the survival skill list though.  This is clearly better for entertainment than battle.  Once you let the hatchet go you've lost your weapon.

Argument for the AR rifle

The AR Platform

The AR is the standard answer to the standard question.  What do you carry that is light and reliable within the boundaries of what constitutes reliability that will do the job.

Weight - The number one rule of infantry or anyone who has to carry their combat load is weight.  The .556 and the AR win in this category.

Parts Availability - in the USA this isn't even arguable.  The AR platform is the Chevy of semi-auto rifles.

Ammo Resupply - in the USA this again isn't arguable.   You can find .556/.223 in sporting goods stores, gun shops, gun shows, and online.  You'll also find it at many department stores and some gas stations depending on the locality.  It is for the time being readily available.

Reliability - keep your weapon clean, carry an extra bolt assembly,  and you'll find your weapon will work in most conditions.

One proviso - quality matters.

China Planning for Asia War in SCS (South China Sea)

Chinese Navy Buildup - Secret Navy

This fits the Chinese model of slow and steady deception to eventually overwhelm opposition.  They've done it to the USA with the total removal of our manufacturing base and theft of technology while some short sighted politicians and business interests have set our fate in motion.

It may get ugly.  Neighbors in the Asian Rim region are already buckling under the boot of Chicom pressure.

Hostages Returned: 5 Years in Captivity

Wife, Husband, and 3 kids- Traumatized

Described by the wife as a Kafkaesque situation most of us can imagine it as even worse than that.  She says she was defiled in addition to the terrible treatment.

A few questions here that I would like to ask them that they might ask themselves. 

What prompted you to go backpacking in Afghanistan knowing that it was a hotbed of groups hostile to Westerners?

Would you believe again whatever foolish ideas that you may have had  that prompted your desire to journey in a place likely to bring you sorrow?

Are you up for another hiking adventure, maybe this time in Syria or Libya?

Bottom Line:  Don't go backpacking in areas that are so hazardous and don't stroll through the streets of Chicago and Baltimore thinking you are safe.

California: Hepatitis A Epidemic spreads

Cali Hep A

This is a perfect example of the outcome of a socialist paradise and a sanctuary state overrun with migrants and refugees.  The system is breaking down.

California is no longer part of the USA.  It has seceded.

Pandemic Update: USA not Prepared

Pandemic Flu Risk - US not ready

No kidding.  We will just react.  Your best defense is probably good health and a hideout plan if things get ugly.  Being able to stay home and wait out months of turmoil might be the safest way to survive such a pandemic.  Working in a public environment is probably the most dangerous.

WW3: War Plans Hacked by NORKS, Graphite Bombs, Launch planned

 South Korean/US war plans compromised by NORK Hacking
Why do you have this stuff on computer networks?  It should be eyes-only on paper.

South has Graphite Bombs
Taking out the electrical grid by this method has been hidden to us.  It also means it can be done to the USA by enemies.

North Prepares Another Launch
He's gonna do it.  Eventually we'll have war.

Whom to thank.

Thanks to any US administration that worked against missile defense. Two admins sat on their hands rather than pushing ahead, the Bush41 and 43.  The rest in between actively worked against defense.  We now have a situation where the time lost in development might cost millions of lives.

Financial Collapse Update: Privacy Cashless China, Bitcoin Bubble, Puerto Rico,

Cashless China
This is a portent of what is coming to the USA.  The reasons will be the same.  The government wants information, businesses want to reduce costs and satisfy customers,  and the individual wants convenience.  Privacy will take a back seat.  The only clear hope to maintain privacy is cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Volatility will remain - bubble
At least you know one thing.  They apparently can't print more of it like all other fiat currencies.

Bitcoin Rally $4500+


Puerto Rico facing massive liquidity crisis
This is a portent of a real financial collapse and how it might look.  Lucky for Puerto Rico residents they can take a flight to the USA and escape the mess legally if they have enough assets set aside to do so.  They are US citizens.

Alone and Old
They didn't include broke in this article but that is the worst of the three and combined you're talking a sad ending.  A financial collapse will be especially hard on the elderly.  Do what you can to plan around this risk by having family nearby if possible, planning to have some assets in place other than just a social security check, and of course there is very little you can do about getting old other than trying to remain active and socially engaged.

Invasion Update: California Sanctuary

California
This opens floodgates into the US proper.  Over time California will cease to be part of the USA.

Crackdown coming
Part of the crackdown should be against officials that ignore immigration laws.

Outcome:  The flood of migrants will continue apace and the cost in money and lives will expand as it has since 1965.

.22 Shortage Update

Spotted .22 LR at Wally World.  One in Maryland and one in Delaware while in transit.

The pricing is good.  $14.95 for 333 rounds of Federal lead tip solids.

Remington Golden Bullet .22 was more expensive per round at the Delaware location.  I believe those came in 555 packs at close to .08 cents per round.

I'm sure both sightings were luck since you still never see .22 regularly at Wally World

Follow the rule of cigarettes and .22 LR , smoke'm if you gott'm or buy'm if you see'm.

Airborne Radiation in Europe

Radiation Europe

It sounds like a Satellite was taken out in space.  We may not hear about it but likely an old one was used for practice or the enemies of the West are practicing on ours.

Just be aware there is almost nothing you can do to avoid these risks so don't worry about them.  The risk you can manage is going into dangerous cities or living near one.

Vegas Attack - Political Radicalization?

Vegas shooter motive mentioned by Sheriff - radicalized

This was my first thought based on the venue that was attacked.  Were it ISIS you know they don't tend to focus on what could be seen as traditional American targets but rather take any target that suits the need of mass destruction and increasing societal fear.  This attack seems to be tailor made for a political statement against traditional values.

Was he much like the baseball shooter?

The guy that attacked the congressmen was a political radical.  It is also apparent that the Feds tried to downplay the terror aspect of this attack because it points directly at the left.

FBI says acted alone, not terrorist attack.
As if that were the definition of a terror attack which it is not.  The motive and purpose define it but of course the FBI is political as well nowadays.

Security in an Unsecure World: Vegas

Vegas Shooting
This type of event should make any sane person gut-sick.  Once you see how much damage once crazed individual can bring it becomes clear that safety is often found in luck, avoidance, and just plain old odds relative to risk.  The best way to reduce your risk in this type of situation is to avoid crowds and public events.

Expect gun control arguments to begin.

Physical Safety Risks: Beatdown at Parks, Beating at Movie Theater

Beatdown at Six Flags Park
It doesn't pay to say a word against anyone nowadays.  Violence is almost always the outcome.

Woman Beat at Movie Theater
She made the mistake of asking teens to quiet down.

Suggestion:  Watch movies at home and when going to public venues just avoid any confrontations.  You can find an opportunity every day to get into a fight so it's best to walk away or stay away.

Survival news: STD increases, Fed Chair, West Point Commies

STD gone Wild in USA
Moral breakdown preceded this version of a pandemic.

Outlook Uncertain-
Another Fed Chair has no idea what the future is
Well, big surprise.  Only listen to what they intend to do to us not what they think is happening.

West Point Grad Investigated for Pro Communist Posts
In the old days he never would have made it through the Academy.  Unless they post him as an officer in charge of Latrines there is no reason to expect him to stay in the military.  With the way things have gone though he might end up as one of the Joint Chiefs.
