Organizing patriots in the
face of government informants
There is a simple fact that must be understood when it comes to
the fight for liberty: Such a fight cannot be won alone. Freedom requires
organized resistance, and it does not matter how many millions of people stand
against an authoritarian regime, if they are isolated from one another
they will lose.
It's a guarantee.
This is why a considerable portion of establishment money, energy
and propaganda are directed at defusing or sabotaging any semblance of
conservative organization. This includes engineering false flag events and
creating potential terror attacks from thin air so that they can be blamed on
constitutionally minded groups. This is not conspiracy theory; this is
conspiracy fact.
As we now know according to court documentation, the supposed
scheme by a Michigan "militia" made up of anarchists to kidnap
Governor Gretchen Whitmer and "try her as a tyrant" was heavily infiltrated
by at least a dozen FBI agents and informants. The group was so infiltrated, in
fact, that the entire plot for the kidnapping was essentially planned out by
the FBI. This is the very definition of a false flag. The corruption and
entrapment involved in the operation was so egregious that even the leftist
media has reported negatively on it.
I recall a very similar situation that occurred during the Malheur
incident when Ammon Bundy (son of Cliven Bundy) and a group of patriots decided
to annex the wildlife refuge and its obscure ranger buildings as a launching
point for a revolution. Though I was a supporter of the efforts at Bundy Ranch,
I was vehemently against Malheur because the whole situation seemed grossly
suspect. The strategy made no sense, the rationale made no sense, the site of
the standoff made no sense, and the public optics were terrible. It was an
anti-Bundy Ranch; a situation in which all of the dynamics were in favor of the
feds and against the liberty movement.
And, not surprisingly, Malhuer had also been
influenced and in some cases was arranged by federal informants and agents.
These people were whispering in the ear of Ammon Bundy the entire time while
the FBI authorized
them to commit criminal acts. There were so many paid employees of the FBI at Malheur
that jurors
decided to drop all charges against most of the defendants involved.
And what about the latest "J6" rally in Washington D.C.,
which was planned by a virtually unknown former Trump aid and was quickly
exposed as a potential "honeypot" designed to lure in conservatives.
The army of plain-clothes undercover feds was so prevalent that riot cops
accidentally arrested an armed FBI agent thinking he was a protester.
Now, there are many people in the alternative media that are
breathing a sigh of relief that almost no one showed up for the J6 protest or
"fell into the trap." In fact, there were far more reporters and feds
there than actual activists. However, I think we need to look at the bigger
picture of why the government is staging such events in the first place, and
it's not just to catch conservatives in honey pots.
If you think about it, the entire strategy is high cost/minimum
reward if we only look at it in terms of actual arrests. If the idea is to
catch and prosecute patriots, then they could infiltrate groups and engineer
criminal actions for decades and achieve little to nothing. Obviously, this is
not the purpose of informants. Rather, the strategy is not to invade groups
unnoticed; the strategy is to be
noticed, to make sure the whole of the liberty movement believes
that if they ever try to organize in any way the feds will be there to set them
up. In other words, the primary goal of the FBI is to instill paranoia and fear
among patriots and ensure they never effectively organize to resist.
So, when we cheer the "failure" of J6, we need to keep
in mind that the establishment does not care. Getting people to show up was not
their main intent; making people afraid to show up for any other events in the
future is what they want.
The issue presents a Catch-22. If conservatives organize there is
the chance that some groups will be infiltrated or set up and used to make the
entire movement look bad. If we don't organize, then we have lost the fight. It
will be over before it even truly begins (and no, the real fight has not
started yet). What is the solution?
I think it's odd but maybe not surprising that the standoff at
Bundy Ranch has been memory-holed by the media and is rarely mentioned even
among conservative activists. Yet, it was probably one of the most successful
patriot actions in the past couple of decades. There are a number of reasons
for this:
1) The action was spontaneous, not pre-planned and was in
response to criminal activity by the FBI (including assaulting women that were
protesting and the use of sniper positions to surround the Bundy property
similar to Ruby Ridge). The movement took action to remedy a government
trespass rather than creating a standoff out of nothing.
2) There was no single person in charge. Groups showed up
from all over the country; some of them squared away and some of them
screw-ups. This might sound like a bad thing, but in terms of rebellion, it is
often better to avoid streamlined top-down leadership. Frankly, I am usually
suspicious of anyone that tries to anoint themselves the "leader" of
the liberty movement or the sole leader of protest action. Cult of personality
is the most useless thing I can think of when it comes to battling tyranny, and
top-down leadership can be easily manipulated or controlled.
3) Because of the decentralized nature of the response to
Bundy Ranch, the feds had no way to influence or predict the outcome, and they
really hate that. Without informants in key positions, the feds did not have
the ability to adapt to the quickly changing circumstances. Contrast this with
Malheur, where the feds were basically in control from the very beginning. The
site itself was so isolated and ill-conceived that the FBI was able to dictate
every movement of patriots in and out of the area. It was pointless for any
militia to occupy it, but it was a great spot for the feds.
4) Patriots arrived at Bundy Ranch peacefully, but with the
will to fight if necessary. The Bundy Ranch response had a clear objective – To
stop the FBI from harming the Bundy family and to retrieve the stolen cattle if
possible. Both of these objectives were accomplished and with no shots fired. A
complete success. Without a clear objective, there is no purpose to any action.
It is important to understand the difference between a Lexington Bridge moment and a Fort Sumter moment – During Lexington Bridge, the revolutionaries took action to stop a British detachment from arresting colonial leaders and confiscating rifles and powder stores. The British were in the midst of an undeniable attempt to disarm and snuff out the resistance. At Fort Sumter, the Confederate attack was in response to an attempted resupply of the fort itself, which made sense strategically but looked like an act of pure aggression to the wider public. The concept of states’ rights (more prominent in the minds of the confederates than the issue of slavery) fell by the wayside.
Eventually, tyranny has to put boots on the ground. A totalitarian
system can function for a time on the color of law and implied threats, but it
will crumble unless it is able to establish a physical presence of force. Once
those jackboots touch soil in a visible way and the agents of the state try to
expand oppressive measures, rebels then have a free hand to disrupt them or bring
them down. But this only works if there are objectives and enough
decentralization to prevent misdirection of the movement.
Organization is essential. It cannot be avoided. All the
"Gray Men" and secret squirrel preppers out there that think they are
going to simply weather the storm in isolation and pop out of their bug-out
locations to rebuild are suffering from serious delusions. I can't help but
think of that moment in 'Lord of The Rings' when the Ents refuse to organize to
fight against the orcs. Pippen suggests to Merry that the problem is too big
for them and that they should go back to the Shire to wait out the war. Merry
laments:
"The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of
Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in
this world will be gone. There won't be a Shire, Pippin."
If this fight is not pursued now, there will be no world worth
coming back to, even if one was able to successfully hide from it. There will
be a "new world order" as the globalists like to call it. There will
be nothing left of freedom.
So, organization must be accomplished, and it should be built at
the local level. This is far more important than any dreams of national
organization, at least for now. There is no one I would trust to lead such a
nationwide revolt, and that includes political leaders like Donald Trump.
Will federal intrusions happen? Of course, but at the local
level it is much easier to vet people according to their behaviors and root out
bad actors. Hold your local meetings to discuss current events and create a
place for people to network and get to know each other. Talk to local
businesses or your county sheriff to see where they stand on issues like the
vaccine passports and Biden mandates. Put things in motion now or you will
regret it later when your community is completely disjointed and paralyzed by
fear during a crisis or government subjugation.
And, what about the first guy at your meetings that starts talking
about building bombs, drafting "kill lists" or kidnapping
governors? Kick his ass out promptly and make sure everyone knows why you
did it. Most likely he is a fed or he is on an informant payroll. As our
national composure breaks down and the manure hits the fan, fed informants and
agents will suddenly disappear from these groups without a trace. They are not
going to stick around for what happens next; the government doesn't pay them
enough for that. And knowing who the patriots are will not help the federal
government if the patriots are organized to defend themselves. This is the
reality which they do not want us to wake up to.

Having a large food stockpile is one of the main goals of every
prepper. Unfortunately, many newbies think that all they have to do is run to
the store and fill a cart with canned foods. This is a costly mistake. You need
to take some time to figure out what foods to store and exactly how to store
them.
Most of my readers already know the basics of emergency food
storage, but I also have quite a few readers who are just getting
started—people who have never used any food storage methods other than their
refrigerator. This guide is my attempt to help them get started, and it’s also
a good refresher for more experienced preppers.
By the end of this guide, you will know the basics of food
storage so you can start stockpiling the right foods in the right places to
ensure your family has something to eat after a major disaster. ..

Fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, snowstorm, power
grid failure, civil unrest, and pandemic. You can take your pick of these and
other reasons why you should have an emergency stockpile of food for your
family.
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends storing a minimum of one gallon
of water per person for at least three days and a three-day supply of
non-perishable food. And has a list of suggested foods to store in your
emergency pantry.
But
over the past year and a half, most of us have realized that a three-day supply
is not nearly enough to get us through some emergencies. Building a stockpile
of food for the future while feeding a family in the present can be expensive.

Answer: A quality power bank can hold a charge for up to 6 months.
The thing is, most power banks will slowly lose charge over time depending on the temperature the power bank is stored at.
In addition, lithium-ion, and lithium-polymer batteries used in power banks eventually lose their capacity (typically between 200 up to 1000 cycles depending on the battery cell quality.)
The bigger the battery is, the less cycles you will need to charge it and the longer it will last. But, I would check them every 6 months if I were you.

It may come down to a revolution against the socialist bastards undermining our Republic...
America has become like a scene from the movie 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.'
Things are bad. Supplies are short. There are no replacement parts. We're backordered through to Fall 2022. Meanwhile equipment breaks and can't be repaired. Elevators, buses and HVAC systems are failing. Construction is in crisis. Fridges for medicine and food are failing. Car manufacturing has stalled. Even grass seed is in short supply. There aren't enough truck drivers. There are too many container ships in too few ports with far too few longshoreman, truckers and berths.
How long before it all snaps? Not long. Read this blog & prepare. And never mind shopping for the holidays - you need to think survival: Food, heat, self-protection and barter goods.
Thanks for that you post; tremendous goodies.
