A Little Preparation for a Certain Uncertainty

9/10/2023

Picture
Some time ago, I postulated that three events would herald the dissolution of the GAE and the former US as a cohesive nation-state: economic collapse, a substantial overseas military defeat, and a catastrophic civil war. I speculated all three would probably happen roughly at the same time. I was right. While at times it may not exactly look like it, all three of these things are currently in progress.

In a moment, I want to get into some good general advice —as dangerous a thing as that is— that may help someone in America at some point. But first, a glance at the three combined factors may be in order. The economic situation, like a slow-rolling and unstoppable permanent depression, has been in the works for years. The real economy in the GAE and much of the West has been destroyed, as has been the very concept of money. What we’re left with is a façade and I’m not really sure what keeps it standing. Sooner or later, even that will fall. The GAE-NATO war on Russia looks like a major foreign defeat and it is. But that front is only one part of the larger global conflict. In many ways, our economic woes and brewing, bubbling civil discontent are also smaller fronts in the greater conflict.

There are many fronts and many sides. Yet for clarity, this new world war (that’s what it is) essentially boils down to Christians and their allies versus satanists and their dupes (and captives). Americans, we, and much of the Western population count as captives. We’re on the wrong side of this one. And while most of us are not directly responsible for the evil our leaders perpetrate here and abroad, we’re still affected by it. We must never accept, tolerate, or join with it, or else we literally take the side of the devil against God and His ordained order. On a more geopolitical level, the conflict is between the Sovereign Nations, led by Russia and China, against the usurious, homosexulaized, “rules-based”, globalism of Clown World, as led by the USSA and the UK. 

The military operation and/or “war” in Ukraine is the centerpiece and the most observable aspect of the struggle. Even as it is nowhere near as serious as it could be, it is still beyond the scope of anything any modern American or Western military planner has ever experienced. Ukrainian killed-in-action casualties already approach half a million. Another million or so Ukrainians have been wounded, many of them being permanently maimed. The Russians are averaging one-tenth of those loss levels. While a 10:1 ratio is virtually unheard of, the math dictates that Russians are still suffering greatly. Other active, semi-active, and/or potential fronts simmer in east and southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere. 

Why the widespread nature? Because after seventy-five years of heavy-handed GAE domination, the rest of the world is sick and tired of being used, abused, robbed, and murdered. They have found inspiration in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Russia, and they’re breaking free. The GAE previously had two things that allowed it to run the world’s business: the feared might of the GAE military and the systemic dominance of the US Petrodollar. The former has been shown a hollowed-out, inept paper tiger; the latter has essentially disappeared over the past several years.

The largest front in our new world war is not on any battlefield. It is economic in nature. The mass financialization that crippled then killed the US domestic economy also wreaked havoc on the rest of the world. Now, however, the mechanisms that allowed the lop-sided relationships are gone. Backing a dying currency with someone else’s oil was always a stupid idea doomed to fail. And it has failed. Other nations are already trading in their own or other, non-dollar currencies. The monopoly of SWIFT has been replaced with a multi-polar exchange of currencies, largely facilitated by the MIR-CIPS makeshift system devised by Russia and China. Next year in Kazan, the full, regular replacement will be rolled out. The Sovereign Nations and all those not directly controlled by Washington, London, and the EU are eager to join. Last fall the total value of the BRICS+ economies surpassed that of the G7. This year the gulf will widen. Ultimately, and even now, this is all good for the majority of humanity.

But it all means the loss of power, control, and prestige that the Clowns live on the way vampires depend on blood. They know the game is over and they are extremely angry. And desperate. The most dangerous element for us going forward is the fact they are now trapped here among us. Our necks may end up being the only ones their fangs can reach. The worst part of all of this is how unnecessary it is. There are relatively few of our demonic oppressors and we know who and where they are. We could be free of them forever in a short afternoon. But as Americans and some Europeans are the only people on earth still frightened of these rats and still reluctantly subservient to them, that rosy scenario is unlikely for a while longer.

In the meanwhile, look for the turmoil to grow from the already unpleasant into the indescribable and the unimaginable. There’s no way to exactly predict what will go down or when. Therefore, for discussion’s sake today, I’m opting for one of many possibilities. I’m going to use it now as a frame of reference for preparations and precautions everyone should take regardless. Let’s discuss full-blown conventional warfare between the GAE and Russia. Yay?

Too much is riding on Ukraine and the Clowns know they’re going to lose. We’re right up against a decision to go all in, cut bait and retreat, or, possibly, keep the conflict going, as-is, by any means necessary. The next few months to a year should provide some indication of which path is selected. [I just tired from rewriting what I have written out multiple times before.* I could keep on going, but to ease my suffering, I’m shifting straight into a list of to-do items, probably without much explanation.]

  • Do not ever serve the Clowns;
  • Avoid the entire metro Washington, DC area from now on. Do not go within fifty miles of the outer suburbs;
  • Get out of the cities. If there are a million or more people there, don’t be there;
  • To the greatest degree possible, live where people look, believe, think, and live like you;
  • Do not be anywhere near the following: military bases of any kind, military-industrial facilities of any kind, all naval shipyards; any remaining heavy manufacturing plant, any major port, any major rail hub or inland port; refineries, chemical plants, fertilizer plants, large prisons, coal or petroleum-fired power plants, nuclear power plants, larger transformer-autotransformer power distribution centers, the flood zones below dams, and anything else that facilitates industrial or military capacity;
  • Do not trust the reported domestic news. The real stories will not be pleasant, there’s nothing you can do about them, and the lies may be more dangerous than the hard truth anyway;
  • Prepare to live, in the short to medium term, and possibly permanently, without grid-generated electricity, tap water, automotive fuel and fluids, and modern medicine;
  • Prepare to live without paper or electronic money, as it tenuously exists today, or the ready ability to obtain or use money;
  • Prepare to live off what food and water you have or can grow or obtain;
  • Prepare to live without civil services (police, fire, ambulances, schools, etc.);
  • Prepare to be placed in positions where you must kill other people or be killed by them;
  • Prepare to meet God;
  • Prepare for the absence of any and all modern conveniences and forms of entertainment;
  • Prepare for the end of shopping online or in large stores;
  • Prepare for medical conditions and emergencies, including basic trauma care, poison care, and surgery;
  • Prepare to help young people, elderly people, and simpletons survive and understand what is happening;
  • Prepare to maintain as much civilization as you possibly can for you, your family, and those nearby;
  • Prepare to build and repair your own housing/shelter;
  • Prepare to fix things as they break by yourself and with what tools and materials you have on hand;
  • Prepare to be hungry, uncomfortable, and tired;
  • Know who you are, where you are, and who is around you;
  • Know that if you’re like most ordinary people, indirectly, a little of this is your fault;
  • Know who is directly at fault and remember them;
  • Know these conditions may last for the rest of your lifetime;
  • Expect little to no help from the outside; and
  • While maintaining a degree of realism, stay as optimistic and hopeful as possible.


There’s more and you should actively pursue it. That’s the key to survival: being proactive and maintaining an optimal degree of adaptability. Perhaps half the population is unwilling or incapable of even considering the foregoing. Doing nothing is an option and many will take it. In a very harsh but simple light, the default setting for the rest of this decade may be becoming a casualty. If that sounds unpleasant, then do what you can to shift the odds in your favor. The good news is that the good guys will win, many people will survive, and they will together rebuild society(s). You can be part of that.

Deo vindice.

*Author’s note: We’re going to have to have a little more fiction and/or something else in the near future.

Great background/historical information and a long list of ways we can prepare for this eventuality. Good one.

Well, you covered it all. It is what it is. At 74 I know I have the needed soul work. I am very doubtful that I have the physical stamina. Mind- Body.
