DAD author Robert Kiyosaki recommends preparing for a challenging future with
the “5Gs”...
Gas,
Guns, Ground, Grub and GOLD…
And right now, you may have noticed...
With
all the economic and geopolitical uncertainty sweeping the globe...
With
so many patriots and survivalists stockpiling gas, guns and a few years of
grub...
Buying
land in remote locations...
Building
underground “doomsday bunkers”…
Plus
a recession, inflation, stock market corrections, and the Fed's finger on the
interest rate trigger...
According to a recent poll by GoBankingRates, more than a third of respondents fear they will end
up out of work this year because of a layoff. And 50% of respondents say they
will be unable to afford essential bills and groceries if they lose their jobs.
Time
may be growing short to prepare financially...

When the power
lines go down, and the radio stations stop transmitting, there’s one line of
communication that will still be alive and well.
When planning for a SHTF Survival situation, there is really
only one thing that you can be absolutely sure of: Survival is going to be a
much bigger and tougher challenge than you ever thought possible. While there
are some things you can do to prepare yourself for the chaos ahead, the reality
of the situation is that when things go bad, there are going to be things
happening that none of us prepared for or could have ever imagined.
What is SHTF?
SHTF has multiple survival meanings, but the acronym itself
means Shit Hits The Fan. The meaning is pretty straight forward, but basically,
it’s just a prepper/survivalist’s way of saying that during a long term
survival crisis or collapse of society things are going to get bad, real bad!
How bad none of us really know, and what dangers we will face is only
speculation at this point, but one thing we do know for sure is that most
people have no real clue to the dangers they will face during a collapse
scenario.
Prepping for SHTF Scenarios
It’s not hard to imagine things going bad during a long-term
disaster or collapse situation; all you have to do is look at how quickly
things turn south during normal yearly disasters to get a sense of how bad
things could get. Even during somewhat predictable events like summer storms,
flooding and hurricanes we see a large section of the population turn
desperate. From people who failed to prepare totally losing their shit in the
grocery store when they find the shelve empty to the assholes who take advantage
of every disaster to hit the streets looting and attacking innocent civilians,
you can find plenty of examples that should at least get you thinking of what
you need to be prepared to face.
10 Realistic SHTF survival situations that most people Don’t Prepare
or Plan for!
While many of the threats you will face can be easily predicted
by looking at recent events, we wanted to look at some very likely SHTF
scenarios that very few think about, and almost nobody prepares for. These are
threats they may present themselves during short-term disasters, but in all
likelihood, these threats will be the ones that start to pop up during those
extreme long-term situations where people lose hope and become desperate.
SHTF Law Enforcement Issues
1. No Law Enforcement
During an extreme SHTF scenario, it is very likely that law
enforcement and emergency responders will be pretty hard to find; in fact, I
would go even further and say that they will become nonexistent. Even during
small-scale disasters, law enforcement officers often leave to take care of
their own families first. When things go bad (empty grocery stores, no
utilities, mass riots, violence, etc.) you are more than likely going to have
to defend and take care of yourself.
2. Fake Law Enforcement
In a
SHTF Scenario, you need to be on the lookout for everything including
people impersonating law enforcement and military personnel.
During a catastrophic event, you will most likely see criminals preying on the
innocent by pretending to be either police, firefighters, emergency personnel,
or military officers. In fact, almost every time a natural disaster hits we see
criminals posing as some type of first responder in order to gain easy access
to areas where they can then take advantage of the situation and loot homes and
businesses.
You have to be able to quickly determine who are the real law
enforcement officers or be prepared to stay away from people at all costs.
3. Law Enforcement and the Military Will Try to Take Your Guns.
Think it can’t happen? It already has!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans Police
Superintendent Eddie Compass ordered all local law enforcement, including the
U.S. Marshalls office and the National Guard, to seize all civilian firearms.
Without warrants, armed National Guard troops and New Orleans
law enforcement officials forcibly confiscated over 1,000 legal firearms from
law-abiding citizens. The New Orleans gun confiscation should serve as a
warning to how the government and law enforcement officials will react during a
large-scale national disaster.
It’s very high on the probability list that they will come for
your guns!

11 Herbal Alternatives to
Antibiotics
Oftentimes, the world’s best medications are not the ones
developed in labs, but rather the ones made by Mother Nature. For thousands of
years, mankind has relied on various herbs to treat a wide range of conditions.
While the advent of antibiotics drastically reduced the
popularity of these herbal alternatives, they still remain effective to this
day and are starting to enjoy more popularity as many diseases have grown
resistant to antibiotics.
1. Oregano - Oregano – or more
specifically the highly concentrated oil of oregano – is an excellent
antibiotic. Its active ingredient, carvacrol, exhibits powerful microbial
properties...

1/2 cup of ammonia (suds-ing or scented)

it in a spray bottle and use it on stains. I found it is better to add the Wisk
last as it settles on the bottom and that is all that will spray out.
"Woke rule" has transformed every institution
into a cabal of incompetent woke cultists who have no clue what they are doing: Government, finance,
medicine, science, education, media, geopolitics and more. They are collapsing
everything in sight as they demand the world bows down to their woke cult
parade of clowns who are clueless, arrogant and stupid.

Suisse is about to collapse. When it does, the contagion risk to US banks will
be in the trillions of dollars. Emergency money printing will be initiated to
"rescue" the banking sector, setting off a future hyperinflation
event from which western finance will never recover.
