6 Tips to
Prepare for Blackouts
It’s
been a tough winter for many and like other folks, we’ve had several power
outages…thank goodness we own a generator…
1. Follow energy conservation
measures to keep the use of electricity as low as possible, which can help
power companies avoid imposing rolling blackouts.
2. Fill plastic containers with
water and place them in the refrigerator and freezer if there's room. Leave
about an inch of space inside each one, because water expands as it freezes.
Chilled or frozen water will help keep food cold during a temporary power
outage, by displacing air that can warm up quickly with water or ice that keeps
cold for several hours without additional refrigeration.
3. Be aware that most
medication that requires refrigeration can be kept in a closed refrigerator for
several hours without a problem. If unsure, check with your physician or
pharmacist.
4. Keep your car tank at least
half full because gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps.
5. Know where the manual
release lever of your electric garage door opener is located and how to operate
it. Garage doors can be heavy, so know that you may need help to lift it.
6. Keep a key to your house
with you if you regularly use the garage as the primary means of entering your
home, in case the garage door will not open.
DIY Jar
Lantern
The Jar Lantern is a contemporary take on the traditional
gas lantern. It was inspired by seeing sunlight refract through my glass water
bottle one afternoon, and thinking to myself that it was a bit like carrying a
jar full of light. This brief moment of illumination sparked something in my
mind that made me wonder how I could capture this experience more permanently.
What if you chose to live off the grid –
even ditching all utilities – only to learn that the local government has rules
against such a lifestyle? Even worse, what
if you wanted to live off the grid and the local government threatened you with
eviction?
This is still America, but that’s exactly what is happening to one Florida woman who is a guest on this week’s edition of Off The Grid Radio. Her name is Robin Speronis, and her inspiring story of self-sufficiency has made national headlines – as has her fight against the government that is trying to boot her from her home…
This is still America, but that’s exactly what is happening to one Florida woman who is a guest on this week’s edition of Off The Grid Radio. Her name is Robin Speronis, and her inspiring story of self-sufficiency has made national headlines – as has her fight against the government that is trying to boot her from her home…
Robin decided to go off the
grid after her husband passed away several years ago. Listen as she tells us:
- What gradual
steps she took to go off the grid.
- How she lives,
day to day, without utilities.
- What tips she
has for other off-the-gridders.
- Why she is refusing
to give in.
- What the next
step is in her legal fight.
Robin’s fight is our
fight. Don’t miss this week’s episode!
Why is it that so many Americans today refuse to offer
their own solutions to the problems they perceive in the world? Is it
laziness, stupidity or both?
How would you go about living day to
day without the bureaucracy, the welfare, the infrastructure and the safety
nets? This is how all liberty movement activists are going to have to
start thinking if they want to change anything.
The nonparticipation principle is best
summarized like this: When facing a corrupt system, provide for yourself and
your community those necessities that the system cannot or will not. Become
independent from establishment-controlled paradigms. If you and your community
do this, the system will have one of two choices:
- Admit that you do not need them
anymore and fade into the fog of history,
- Or reveal its tyrannical nature in
full and attempt to force you back into dependence.
In either case, you win. You have taken
proactive measures to remove yourself as a cog in the machine. The machine can
then try to demonize you or attack you. But it will ultimately attack from a
place of social and moral weakness, and you will defend from a position of
logistical and moral strength.
Stop waiting for the system to change.
Change the way you live and survive. Build your own localized systems
and walk away.
Learn a vital trade skill; grow your own food; purchase resource-rich, raw land; learn self-defense methods beyond what law-enforcement personnel are trained in (which is not too difficult); take emergency medical technician training courses so you can provide general and emergency medical care for your family; get your children out of the State-run common core indoctrination centers and home-school them; and build neighborhood watch groups, emergency response groups, barter markets and alternative economies.
Decentralization is about dissolving our unbalanced relationship with the state and taking away its power to dictate how we live.
Revolution must
be directed at the oligarchs, not just their mascots. And if anyone asks you to
rally around a revolution that does not name central banking and international
banking entities and the men who run them as direct culprits, they are probably
controlled opposition. We don’t need a French or Bolshevik Revolution to
replace old puppets with new puppets; we need to go to the very heart of the
cancer that has stricken our Nation and remove it. If this means we have to
physically fight back, then so be it; but we must be smart in how we fight.
In the end, the average citizen is his own defender, his own governor, his own industrialist, his own kingmaker. He may consciously realize this, or he may be oblivious. All the solutions are right there in his hands, waiting to be used. The saddest truth of all is that the only thing holding him back from legitimate freedom is he. Only when we stop avoiding the pain required to procure independence will we finally have it.

of the free? Government shuts down kids' lemonade stands, issues fines
The most innocent of childhood business ventures, the lemonade stand, is quickly becoming something of a mascot for the downward spiral of America into an oppressive police state. Local governments all across the country are increasingly making headlines for shutting down lemonade stands and issuing fines to young children for not obtaining expensive peddler's licenses or vender's permits, or for allegedly violating local ordinances.

Sorry, most people I see are lazy, stupid, high or all three. It is why they are so easily controlled and why America is sliding downward in nearly every category in the world.
America is like the Titanic with crappy crew in Congress, a loser for a captain steering us toward an iceberg of bankruptcy, too many drunk passengers asleep in their cabin, a few heroes and the band plays on. Better find yourself a lifeboat.
