We are living through a pivotal time in American history. A Takeover attempt.
First, let me insert a note:
Some of you regulars are likely getting upset that I’ve frequently written on current political events of late, rather than other topics of general preparedness. Why is that?
It has become crystal clear. We are right in the middle of a coordinated Takeover for power. And we have been for many years. What’s different now? “They” are “all in”. Right now. 2020.
If we lose to those who are attempting this Takeover, America will be lost forever. It will transform into something very different from what you perceive today, or have perceived in the past. At least that’s my opinion.
The Lead Up To The Next Big Event…
They were sure that the deal would be sealed NOV-2016. After 8 years of Obama sewing the seeds, watering and fertilizing… and decades of multi-pronged indoctrination, the HildaBeast would have completely enabled an extreme-left ChicomMarxiGlobalistTakeover – forever changing our nation.
Instead, they were stunned. A rag tag bunch of Deplorables came out in numbers to vote for a charismatic orange man who seemed to stand for American independence. From that day forward, a daily thrashing ensued. Attacks from all their guns. Amazingly, the orange man fought back. A highly unexpected move from the CMG’s.
Every day since, we have witnessed an unbelievably relentless onslaught. Everything they tried has failed. However the orange man has been bloodied and bruised. They smell blood in the water. They have pulled all the stops, so to speak. They’re all in. Right now. 2020. Must. Crush. Orange Man (and anyone not in lock step with the CMG’s.
I have never lived through such troubled times. I’ve never seen such coordinated effort to take out the political opposition. I feel it in my bones. This is big.
Mass Casualty Event – Is It Next?
So I finally get to the question of the day. Is a mass casualty false flag event coming next?
Why do I ask that question? Because they are all in for maximum disruption. Chaos. Just look what has happened so far this year, which is barely half over.
- The economy is in ruins (the real effects soon to be felt).
- More people out of work than the Great Depression.
- Opportunistic multi-month lock-downs of the American people have successfully destroyed the middle class, their businesses, and have taken away their bread-and-circuses.
- The biggest wealth transfer in human history from the middle class to the extremely wealthy.
- An opportunistic and pre-planned coordinated multi-frontal attack on the Police and lawn-and-order.
- The highly energized attempts to incite a race war (ongoing).
- A stunningly coordinated mainstream media inflaming every and all battles against the orange man and his supporters, at any and all costs.
- 50% (or more) of the population apparently ready and willing to fall in line with the CMG’s and the “new life” that awaits them in Utopia.
- 50% (or less) of the population increasingly agitated and upset about what has been happening, many of whom are beginning to see what’s going on behind the curtain.
What’s next? So much damage has been inflicted to date. It’s perfect timing to launch a nuke, so to speak. An enemy of war doesn’t let up while they think they’re winning. Instead, they double-down with crushing blows to ensure a win.
I worry about what they’ve planned next. Do you?
[ Read: You Better Take A Longer Look At Preparing Because Day-One Begins NOV-3 ]
Your articles since the pandemic, faltering economy, disrupted food supply chain, and now the riots are some of your best work. With everything going on, this is why I tune in here more so than usual. And the vast majority of the commentators add just as much great insight as the articles. That’s the sign of a solid site. Many preparedness sights comment sections have gone to the dogs.
Please keep up the great work.
Thanks, Silver Lodge. That helps me understand where people are coming from, so to speak. And yes, I put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to keep the comment section “worthy”.
We are living through unprecedented times. I feel a strong urge to write about it while I still can. Doing my small part to hopefully awaken some people, and prepare others for what may lie ahead.
Ken, please keep the articles coming, anything that gets a discussion started is a good thing. As far as those who “question” the need for discussion on current events…. why are they even here? Is it not current events that will likely turn into the very thing we prep for??
If they don’t agree with some aspects of the articles, then let them articulate why, not just put someone down for their opinion. I appreciate hearing both sides of the issue…. and sometimes I have been known to change my mind……. just don’t let me wife and kids know I said that!!
Ken,
I second LEO2211
Your site is excellent, good people, limited trolls, lots of good info and interaction.
Thank you.
If current events arent a pertinent subject i dont know what is.
😎🤙🏻
Ken
Your op-ed’s are the reason i ck in every day. Excellent and always to the point!!
Thank you. I will do my best to present an informed opinion of current events.
Like many here have “felt” things aren’t right for a while. Family discussions have centered on what now 2020. We have stood just short of disaster for a couple of months. We’ve said as long as utilities up we are good stay in place. So I’m guessing further disruptions to supply chain and power are next. A false flag attack is useful to cause gun control and swing support. Look what one man’s death has led to. RLTW DOL.
My power was out for 9 hours today. I have to say that the first thing that I thought of with all this going on was – is this some sort of sabotage? All the reports just said ‘equipment failure’. I wish that I had a small genny or solar set up.
correction- they are saying damaged equipment
aka-
Your correction was an important distinction worthy of further investigation. Looking at a map of the US electrical grid there are many scattered outages, but three fairly massive ones, right here in S. Cal. I’m sort of on the fringe of all three.
tmcgyver
Where did you find that outage map? Thanks.
AnonyMee –
Downdetector.com then cross linked to SCE from there will yield a full nation, zoomable map. Going in the front door at SCE website won’t get you to this tool.
@ tmcgyver – – what is SCE??
Not seeing those letters at Downdetector web site.
Thanks.
Southern California Edison.
I couldn”t agree more with your comments about the authors fine work. You can feel the next leg coming.
I think there will be a severe interruption or possibly massive destruction of the power grid via a series of cyber attacks from foreign adversaries. They will make it look like it was conducted by BLM or Antifa in order to further degrade the economy, destroy the infrastructure and widen the divide within the Country.
Be ready for a long, hot and turbulent Summer and Fall followed by an extreme escalation in chaos if Trump is reelected or the Country falling into the abyss if the Democratic candidate wins. Either way the future of America will end up in Balkanization (rural areas vs urban) or under nationwide Martial Law.
this could be a very real possibility in some areas. look at what has happened in Seattle. I don’t understand how this could have happened. are there no real men left in this country to stand up to this kind of thing.
fortunately I live about 3000 miles from that. but I have a good truck and I know where it is. where is Ammon Bundy when you need him
I believe there are plenty of ‘real men’ out there. It is just that they are controlled by CMG politicians. If they stand up to those sphincters, they are risking their livelihoods (putting food on the table for them and their families). In this environment, good luck getting another job. If enough ‘real men’ would stand up to these local and state turd blossoms, the outcomes might be different. CMG infiltration into local, state, and federal parts of government did not happen overnight. It was a very slow process over many years. Now those gov Department are locked in with their cronies where these unelected people push through regulations and mandates that support their cause/ideology.
So, yes cid, there are real men out there. It is just that the left/ socialist clowns have their you know what’s in a vise.
Example: during the lockdowns, some LEO’s refused to enforce the unconstitutional orders. Many were immediately suspended.
Or make it look like a neo-Nazi or right wing militia trying to incite a race war. There was some discussion of right wingers in Hawaiian shirts at riots. Another blog that is pro-2nd Amendment but very anti-racism posted people who conceal carry will be wearing Hawaiian shirts. When someone talked about the media reports, he had never heard of the group. That’s when I figured this was probably planting the seeds for an incident as a precursor to an all out attack on anyone not toeing the #DeepState line. We have to be cautious as well as thoughtful these next few months. Discuss and debate without denigrating those on the other side. Be prepared for the election aftermath whatever the outcome.
Thanks Ken for a super site and letting us know others are of like mind.
Yep. I think we’ll all be waiting for Round 2 this fall. Could be anything; false flag, virus #2, natural disaster, or perhaps our enemies like NK and/or Iran, etc.pulling something off. So people, restock, reload and “Git ‘er done!!!”
DJ5280 – Our PPE factories are ramping UP, exponentially. Take from that what you will.
Part of that is because there really hasn’t been much PPE manufacturing in the US. When the virus hit China, the Chicoms halted exporting of PPE temporarily to ensure China had enough domestic supply. Then when the virus started dying out in China, they started allowing some exports of PPE but at highly inflated prices. Before the virus, I could get a 10 pack of face masks here in China for around $1.40. Now, a five pack of the same masks cost more than $3.00.
That’s following one of the “Rules for Radicals” to never let a good crises go to waste.
INPrepper –
We just received our second Kalitta load of PPE’s. New factory – CAN get its shit together, when forced to do so. This batch all easily passed N95 In/Ex and NaCl; really they were all 98%+, from a major US Lab, 35 samples per lot. All that overhead still leaves room for a nice margin. You might not believe what prices the market will bear over here. Certain people way more informed than I, are making moves aligned with a repeat of the 1918 flu; when the second year was orders of magnitude worse. I’m taking it as serious early warning.
Yeah, I am not trying to imply that the US doesn’t have the ability to ramp up production. Ventilators are a good example. It’s just that when the virus first hit the US, the nation was woefully unprepared to handle the sudden need for all the PPE that was required. The US used to be the manufacturing base of the world. I believe it is possible again. That is if Antifa/BLM doesn’t burn them down first.
China has also really ramped up its PPE manufacturing although there have been many stories of poor quality products that fail to meet minimum standards. Some of the PPE manufacturers in China are American companies or are Chinese state owned companies using stolen US manufacturing technology.
Tmac
Our? USA? Or the companies you rep for?
Tmac – I believe TPTB will do just about anything to keep us detained at home again and away from the polls in November. We are preparing to be home for a six-month stretch, if need be. It will be our choice to do so.
I don’t think the public realizes the seriousness of the left’s power grab now. It’s going for broke, to ‘fundamentally change’ this country once and for all. They want the power, socialism, and they have successfully indoctrinated our youth so they can implement their “top down bottom up” strategy. It’s working in parts of the country. Did you ever think you would see the day a police dept would give up one of it’s station like they did in Seattle to an organization like BLM or antifa? That is a serious wake-up call in my book.
Well, plugging along here. Much to do. I think Ken should write a new article on “How to Prep in 12 weeks or Less.” How about it Ken? I should check the archives tho. Knowing Ken, he already did!
DJ5280
I believe you are spot on, IMHO this was one purpose of this pile o schitt to begin with
Ken,
I really appreciate all you are doing to keep us informed. You have a good point of view on subjects I have not thought about. We owe you a great deal of gratitude for helping us understand what is happening and how to be prepared not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.
DJ, agreed, It is all or nothing for them.. they will hold nothing back. We must be ready for everything… including trying to be starved out and know and be ready to do without city services… They will not wait, if it is their choice..
They did not think she would loose.
Believe nothing they show you… I would not be surprized if there was no such individual as GF… pretty sure from video evidence it was all staged…. picturs from first the right and then the left of patrol car. who came to give emergency first aide, who got out of the ambulance… Oh not EMT’s but police shirts…. they must have forgotten which part they were playing…
Those mal contents do not care who they hurt because all but them are considered by them- as less than human. They want us all bowing to socialism.. and they have tried..to remove all our weapons … have had gangs imported to all the inner cities- and given them weapons when the common homeowner can not get one.
was on health rangers report.. M gates has proposed that all “people of color” be targeted to receive the ( first – read trial- untested) vaccines first.. Knowing that the first ones in Africa resulted in 90% death rate… . ‘
I have a better idea..
…. all those scientists, developers, and their entire families must be the very first to receive “the protections of the ( unproven-untrialed)vaccines” any changes to those will result in them getting extra doses of said injections. in a series of 5, given 2 weeks apart……with a mandatory 10 year wait before they can be given to anyone else. They want to choose someone to be guinea pigs- let it be them…Mrs and Mr. Gates line up for your injection series.. The rest of us will be at least 10 years behind you and your entire family…
money for blm org is going into dems org.
Ken,
With the very existence of our Republic at stake, your focus on these current events unfolding is not only appropriate, but I personally believe you’d be doing a disservice to your readers if you did not write about it.
Thank you for your steadfast courage.
It is quite easy to judge the state of mind of the general populace, simply by examining the number of firearms being sold and the increasing scarcity of military grade ammunition on the market.
Just look at the on-line catalog for any gun/ammo dealers and note how many listings are labeled, “Currently Out Of Stock.”
I think all the traditional Americans, unschooled in the virtues of becoming an insect in a Marxist “HIVE,” know what is happening and have seen it coming for many years. Exposed to their American thoughts over the years, their children have had a better chance to fight off the propaganda of their Socialist teachers, and are seeing for themselves what is coming, too.
There shall soon come a time when our Reason and Ethics shall demand we ignore our “legal” enslavement and the corrupt edicts of a tyrannical government, run by the Cultural Marxists (Socialist Democrats).
Millions of Americans are STILL AMERICANS and shall REMAIN AMERICANS until the moment of their death. Americans have not armed themselves just for sport and the 2A isn’t about target shooting, or shooting quail. Americans fully understand what is now at stake and exactly what they may be forced to do. But, the LAST THING an AMERICAN will do is to freely surrender their arms in exchange for slave chains…no matter how comfortable they seem.
Americans are getting ready to face the enemy and, not only hold their ground, but advance to the very foot of the beds the enemy sleeps upon.
AMEN Ision!
Tyranny is afoot, they failed to effect their agenda with the constant attacks on POTUS so we will be next target for them.
Seems we have political figures who are above the laws we live by , they have turned away from the destruction and outright stealing to further their agenda , when theres a breakdown in law and order its time for the citizens of this nation to enforce justice be they thugs or political leaders who wont do their jobs they were elected to do they are equally guilty and I believe its coming soon . People are fed up , proof is in the gun sales , you can push so long before someone stands up and shoves back and they’ll shove hard in my opinion
Ken,
This site has always provided a voice for those of us with questions and/or skills and knowledge to share with others. Your topics, though sometimes emotionally charged are always appropriate to the perceptions/needs of the moment. These discussions are needed and heart felt, and this is probably one of the few sites that those of us still working (myself in a position for the public well-being) can state what we may be honestly feeling/fearing without being strung up or fired!
This is certainly a time in our nation’s history that will be written of. It is NOT the nation I perceived as a child, young adult or even as I raised my family. Now as a Senior, with the rose glasses OFF, I find myself living in a time of great turmoil and disruption. I do NOT fear for myself or my lovely DH, but I am near grief for my children and grandchildren. I do not see that they will have the same freedoms and growth to succeed that my generation has had and actually continues to enjoy.
That being said, I fear we will see blood in the streets; that my fellows in blue and the supporting suits will be offered no safe quarters and that citizens will be fending for themselves more than relying upon police. During the race riots of the 60’s there were many no-go zones, and I am seeing those crop up all over once again. My LEO children are reporting all manner of disturbing events that are NOT making the news. My State oversight office is taking an exceedingly liberal stance which suggests the younger generation is buying the party line hook line and sinker. If they were quiet, I would say perhaps in thought….but they are not.
I pray for calm and clear heads, but I see few and far between. Peace MSB family. Stay alert.
the stock market is tanking again. I’m already poor so I don’t care.
im well armed
well supplied
garden looks good. i’ll be able to can 3 more yrs of food this year, half way there already
2 freezers full to the top with meat. and a water well with buckets. no electricity required here. in a power outage we will run the generator until we can what’s in the freezers
let it come, the anticipation in killing me. hell, lets get er done
myself and my neighbors can’ wait. we are ready
You got a way to preserve them freezers full o meat?
about 200 quart jars and 2 gross of tops. all American canner and plenty of propane. yea, were good
Cid, I’m canning some of our freezer meats NOW. Don’t wait.
Indeed ! Don’t wait. I canned much of last yrs freezer beef to make room for this years. I had to store some of the jars down the street at my sisters house as I ran out of shelf room here.
Just today getting HALF of my bulk canning lids I ordered a month ago. I have plenty in storage for this years canning and was just topping off the lid storage. Seems they are hard to come by in bulk.
Prep on. We have 4 more months to top off everything. If you find seeds get them now for next year. We don’t know how things will be by then.
Lots of salt, canning bottles if the power is still on, two dehydrators that can be converted to work in the sun and two cars that easily reach 170 on a hot day. On a 50 degree day in the winter they can reach 120.
P.S. if you think its bad now, wait until after November. its going to be a true sh%t storm.
I may be wrong as I often am.
good luck to all, and stay safe
Dead on Ken, you stated very elegantly what I and my family and friends have been thinking and experiencing. I have had some life long friends and family who have turned into ravenous leftist, who have stopped talking to me. They have become completely blind to any opposing thought or debate. It is like these people have become possessed by evil.. No exaggeration or hyperbole on my part, possessed is the perfect description of their new unhinged personalities.. Mayors, city counsel, top military generals, senators, congressmen, celebrities, scientist, academia, etc have all become completely unhinged.. Everything that was the U.S.A. is now in their cross hairs for destruction. Appeasement only emboldens the leftist and it is going to take a hard crack down to get them to stop.. Most decent people don’t want chaos or blood shed, they want to be left alone to live their lives as they choose and take care of their families..That said, these same people will be pushed only so far and then it is game on..There is a civil war going on in this nation if people want to believe it or not.. Like in the movie Shenandoah, the war will evidentially come to your door step no matter how hard you try to avoid it..The main difference is, there is no second place when fighting communist..Pandering, appeasing or losing is not an option when fighting evil…
Wolfgar,
If Communism wins, “the other side” gets exterminated. Just check history. I do now believe that this is a battle between the ChicommMarxiGlobalists and what’s left of the roots of the U.S.A. as it once was – an independent and (mostly) free nation. It’s that serious.
Yup!
Democide
Responsible for more deaths in the 20th century than all wars combined.
Dont think for a minutethe left isnt considering that as a plan.
It is not just us freedom loving folk who will be exterminated. Look at Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and the Kim’s in NoKo. Even people on their side 100% were exterminated as well. It was because they might have posed a threat to their complete rule. When Stalin came to power, he had the complete backing of the ‘enlightened’ intellectuals such as those in the universities. When he was sending his opponents to Siberian death camps, he was sending many of those ’emlightened’ intellectual supporters. So all these university professors who thought they were creating a new world in essence ended theirs completely. Just goes to show how narrow minded academia is today in their support of the same ideology that caused their colleagues to disappear a few generations ago. History does repeat itself. It never works out for the CMG backers as planned. If they get to power here in the US, the Siberian death camp version for here might be Death Valley or out in the middle of nowhere in Alaska.
Just my 2cents.
Yes, there is a war taking place right now, but most are oblivious. Check out the comments (video) by KW Miller regarding bringing the US to its knees and how this is playing out now. He is running for office in Fl. It keeps getting yanked from internet. Also, the powerful letter sent to Trump by Archbishop Viganò tells it like it is…a spiritual struggle between the forces of good and evil. The evils have no problem putting it right out in the open now as if they are taunting us. Keep your head on a swivel and have back up plans.
Wolfgar
“Appeasement only emboldens the leftist and it is going to take a hard crack down to get them to stop.”
you hit the nail on the head Wolfgar.
I wish Ammon Bundy would get involved in this, he is one of the few real patriots left in this country
I just found all of my favorite ammo is sold out Nation Wide… Amazing!
Anyone got 5.56 M855?
Palmetto Armory has M855 in stock.
Gray, thanks for the heads-up.
It is surreal to see so many “Out Of Stock” messages whenever looking for ammo in general. This is a BIG sign of the times.
guys
it may just me, but I buy my ammo local with cash
Amen to that, no credit card used.
Ision
Check Sportsman’s Warehouse for what you looking for
Cheaper Than Dirt is slowly replenishing their inventory, so you may check there as well. They had literally sold out of everything a few months ago but have been getting new stock daily for the past week or two.
Plenty of plenty of 5.56 in my local farm store.. 3 days ago when I looked.
.22 large boxes were gone but the 50 round plastic boxes were plentiful.
Hunting ammo section was lacking, many were back ordered.
But the 12ga section was completely full.
SG ammo….Oklahoma
No, all the guns and ammo were lost when my storage unit went unpaid.
I think everyone who believes these first time gun buyers are on the side of a free America are wrong. A FEW “former sheep” might have awakened to the dangers now being seen by the breakdowns happening in society and are arming themselves for their own safety. Most will remain in denial and fail to arm themselves.
However, Antifa members and their ilk are, I believe, the ones doing the buying. Especially the long guns. Simply because the Dems profess dislike for guns, and preach that “guns are unnecessary, evil, etc. etc.”, they are smart enough to realize that another civil war is on the horizon and that it will be violently fought by the two sides, and not “voted in by the American people.”
Hence the leaders of the leftist/socialist/communist agenda are telling their members and perhaps (probably) financing them, to buy weapons legally, learn to use them, stock up on ammo and wait to be called to arms.
The foes of the leftists have an erroneous belief that another civil war would be quickly and easily won. We are vastly underestimating them. Have you considered that perhaps they would invite some foreign countries in as allies to provide an assisting army and weapons? Have you not even considered that they might do just that? In my mind, there is NOTHING the left would not do to destroy this country.
Consider the recent Cour d’Alene Idaho event. Suppose the leftists came in and a gun battle ensued between the two sides. Imagine a gun battle on the streets, blazing away at night at unsure and vaguely seen targets. Probably “friendly fire” would kill and injure more friends than enemies.
Don’t misread what I’m implying. I commend the patriots who showed up there, and suprised the Antifa group, but I don’t think they had any training in unit tactics, or any method of recognition of friends versus foes; other than that Antifa usually shows up dressed all in black with black facemasks. To me, at the least, it would have been better tactics for the patriots to be on just one side of the street wearing some kind of “same side recognition”. But in any case, SOME thought should have been given to ” how do we protect our businesses and avoid killing each other and causing a bloodbath of friends.
Now, this is my two cents worth, I’ve got my aluminium hat on, and any of you who disagree with me are just jealous because the voices don’t talk to YOU! LOL!
Hmph. You’re listening to the wrong voices! :)
Over 2 million guns were purchased just in May. If you’re right, that’s 1 million + “co-conspirators” who bought guns.
And if one million people bought guns in May (legally, with background checks and everything) and 2 million bought guns in March and April (6 million guns purchased between the three months), that’s a full 1% of the American population who suddenly feel the need to be armed. I don’t think that many people are capable of keeping a secret like “Hey, my political master told me to go buy a gun to blow away deplorables.”
And not one of them boasted on Twitter or FB about their acquisition, or made noises about who they were going to shoot with it? Whoever is buying these guns is being really quiet, which tells me it’s common people, not nutjobs. Who knows which side they’re on? But they are likely just people, who want to protect their families and have no intention of starting a firefight.
The thing that makes me laugh is that the MSM is framing this as “People are buying guns because of COVID!”
WARNING! Yes I have been telling my friends for years not to under estimate your enemy…
That Soy boy wearing birkenstocks can easily carry an AR with 20 mags (600 rounds!)…
They go hiking / running are mostly fit…
Then there are the 60-70 YO boomer hippies trying to relive their youth… The boomers failed miserably in transformation of the US back in the 60’s and this is their last chance at victory. They have nothing to loose at this point. Yes they can still pick up a rifle too and will be advising their young disciples.
On our continuum we are heading toward balkanization…. WAR will be just like the Bosnia.
If you had a window in my mind, the anger that I see from everyday people at this point. I’m even pretty pissed too… but I live in a free state that never really shut down…
I am willing to let the cities burn screw them… But those Lib-Tards will be heading our way very soon…
You better dig in Boys and Girls and get your shit ready.
I
WC, have you set up your OP/LP, have you set up fighting positions w/range cards out to a distance of XXX? Everybody needs to be ready to fight BEFORE you are on/in your porch/front door.
Seattle may be that false flag. If the National Guard and police move in, then the shooting starts from inside of zone. ANTIFA and their allies kill a bunch of protesters inside of the zone and blame it on the NG and police being violence in taking back of the police free, peace, and love zone. I would not put anything past the radical left in this country.
Grey one, turn off the utilities and wait them out.
Turn on a bunch of those sonic weapons, 20 minutes and most all in the range are incapacitated and pissing in their shoes because they cant control it,
I fully agree! No power No water No more porta potties or sewer service! As a newly formed country they’re on their own. No more leaching off the motherland. I’d also form a perimeter of shoulder to shoulder ICE agents for anyone trying to infiltrate the U.S. Immediate arrest for defectors until their allegiance could be determined. You wanna do it on your own, then do it. Welcome to the global community CHAZ.
Blackjack22,
I have wondered why they have not already done that. Also they should set up police check points to ID everyone in and out. Also to cut off supplies of weapons and ammo.
Grey One, Yes they should already have check points up and running BUT, they don’t.
It’s like one side is fighting a no holes barred fight and the other is fighting with pool noodles so nobody gets their feelings hurt…. Does Not Make Sense.
Republicans or democrats, it doesn’t matter. Both are bought and paid for by corporations and wealthy. They have done an excellent job pitting us against each other instead of focusing on the real problems. Just keep prepping. I also see the SHTF in November with the elections. One side will lose and the other side won’t accept it. I’ve been pinching pennies, canning and preserving what I can, purchasing what I can’t. Stay safe my friends. At best the next depression is here, at worst, civil war, and this is from an optimist.
One of my favorite authors calls the two parties Big Stupid and Big Evil.
Amen to that Dave
i agree SOMETHING is coming what we wont know until it hits but it is gonna be bad
if i may be so bold WHEN what ever it is hits all of us that pay attention to this site if i may throw out a IDEA and thats all this lets all of us pick a place obviously someplace in the lower 48 all AT LEAST try for all of us to find each other as the old line goes THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS so that if at all possible we have a area that CAN BE DEFENDED with enough of like minded people we MIGHT have a chance to hold our own
I like the idea of Kula’s island fortress 🌴🌸🥥😁👍
I like it too,,
Most here will shrug and cary on. Anyone making trouble will have a very short shelf life.
Kevin, that is a great idea, there is only one thing that you are missing, and that is ,IF they can’t take us with direct attacks then, they may simply use stand off weapons ie. Mortors, artillery, or rockets. Remember THEY can NOT leave us alive and free. We would stay a thorn in they back/side.
IF things where ever to go that bad we start TAKING heavy weapons
What, everyone has a flag with “MSB” on it ?
or hat
or armband..
Fir identification.
I thought about using the word “Masabe” (MaSaBe) but it has interesting meanings in other languages. :)
All we can do is do what we do and be pro active. Concerned of course, scared no. Knowledge is power and planning is comfort. We can add prayer also, Psalms 56.3
Saw a blurb on another site, several days ago during the deployment of NG’s in the riot torn cities. Report of an imposter dressed as a Guardsman, heavily armed, arrested in front of a Los Angeles police station by L.A. police. No details, no follow up story.
Pretty sure if it had turned out to be a “right-wing nut job”, the media would have gone bananas. Media silence tells me a lot.
If it eventually comes to open conflict (which I think is inevitable at this point), then I might have to head on over and help you guys win before going through the proper channels to attain citizenship. I don’t want the free nation I want to be a part of to fall.
Firstly, to Ken, do not stop this type of post. It is topical, it is germane to preparedness, your writing is inciteful and your referee skills are impeccable.
Mass casualty, I don’t think that’ll be next. I surely don’t know what will be next, but with social distancing and schools closed, there doesn’t seem to be an opportunity for it, unless an antifa/blm mob ventures out of the safety of the deep blue cities and into rural america, now that would be a mass casualty event!
Besides all of the scenarios we are all throwing out there, there are two important things we are achieving here. That is Communication and Information. Some things happening are not making it into the regular news cycle. But things like the biker gang help give us a more complete picture of what is going on in various necks of the woods.

A very gay acquaintance of mine said the other day “I’m sick of these people. I’m voting for Trump.”
Similar stories to be told all over.
Why is it when the libsiders cut off their noses to spite their faces or shoot themselves in the foot, they always seem surprised that they bleed?
Lots of innocents and innocence will be harmed as they keep this up. Yes, worried. Praying for a better outcome.
I had a discussion like that with a guy the other day, said he doesnt like DJT but no way in hell he would ever vote for basement biden
Whiskey-Tango-Fox?!
When I went to work this morning, Antifa twerps were pestering Seattle for… vegan food, or something. Tonight a good chunk of the city is under control of a rapping War Lord with shiny sneakers and too many gold chains? Really? The people are allowing this?
One shot,
Next,
Seattle is a libtard schitthole,
They all think alike
The latest news quotes the Seattle mayor where she said the ‘protesters’ are being patriotic for what they are doing. WOW, Wiskey-Tango-Foxtrot. If that isn’t blatant support for a domestic terrorist action, I don’t know what is. So, shooting, rocks, and bombs being directed at police with the goal of injuring or killing police officers is now ‘patriotic’. This country is truly F—ed with people like that in power.
Ken,
I’m also very happy that you have been posting on current events. Over the last few years we’ve talked quite a bit about what we each prepare for – the types of events that could concern each of us.
Many of us included epidemics or pandemics on our lists, and I think practically every one of us included social unrest and upheaval among our top concerns. And here we are.
Like many here, I am deeply concerned about what is happening around us. The situation in Seattle alone is unbelievable to me. I don’t know what is coming next, but I don’t expect it to get better, I expect it to get worse.
Thank you all for your comments and insights, and Ken, please keep going… many of us have conversations here we cannot have anywhere else.
So here is my question. When the stuff hits the fan and when the civil war 2 goes from cold to hot, when does an individual start participating? How many people are gonna run towards the fight or wait till it comes to his or her town, or your front door step? I certainly don’t know the answer. 20 years ago, I would be looking for the fight, but now I have a little one to protect. Don’t get it twisted, I’m more dangerous than ever because of my child, but I’m now not as eager to get into the fight. It’s just something I’m thinking about and wondering what other people are thinking.

And some of us are past the age to “run and gun”. I hope the old adage that “age and cunning will over come youth and inexperience” holds true. :)
Deep South,
Got that right,
I aint running, unless you are the Lord Jesus Christ im not running from you, toward you, for you, and i will take a knee before no man or woman.
They can have the ashes whenim done.
Indeed I have purposed in my heart (as Daniel did) to bow the knee to no person or movement.
Only to Christ.
I hope so , too.
Deep South
Looking back thur older stuff and saw this post.
Just remember, you ain’t gotta “run and gun,”
when you’re a sniper. You just have to
“get ‘er done.
For most, I believe it will be when it gets to their front door. One reason is if it is not happening near you (in your backyard), you can detach yourself from it and hope someone else solves the problem. The other is that if a person goes away from the home to ‘take care of business’ then their family is potentially exposed and or weakened without the protection of both parents.
INPrepper, I believe that is a correct assumption. Your group/individuals/pairs leaving would leave your home unprotected. Remember what Mother Theresa said about helping the poor in other countries (as in traveling there to help) – look to your own backyard first. I feel strongly that there are many true patriots still in the Seattle region that will step up when it is appropriate and will not be drawn into unnecessary skirmishes.
Food For Thought
I hear you. Two of my ‘boys’ are adults now, though still my boys. The other two are barely young men. Were it just me, I’d be a little less anxious than I am. As it is, I don’t know if any other place is safer than where I am. I did discover tonight that Antifa is partnering up with some animal rights/eco groups and collecting intel on farms – beef, dairy and chicken. There’s a map of locations at counterglowdotorg that have been identified. I’m not on there, but some of my neighbors are. I’m drafting a letter with info to deliver to each of them, to raise awareness of the situation with those that might not know. If we’re all on high alert, I believe it raises the safety level for all of us. I hope you have good neighbors to work with – we really need to have each other’s backs.
I think it’s very wise, and human, not to go looking for the fight, especially when you’re responsible for children. The challenge is, what will produce the best outcome? Paying attention, gathering intel, and hardening your position as much as possible are all good actions to take. Be ready, if the fight comes to you. Being prepared to move, if necessary, (especially when children are involved) with a plan B is also a good idea. Also, ‘playing’ preparedness games with your kids – target practice, hiding (hide and seek), identifying sounds and trying to walk as quietly as possible when hiking, etc… I don’t know what your religious orientation is, but deepening trust, faith and gratitude in/for the Creator, whatever that looks like to you, is super important, too. Those are my thoughts. Wishing you a peaceful night.
Farmgirl
Thank you for the response. I feel good about my situation (i.e location, supplies, people to work with) but there are always room for improvements.
My intentions are to observe the show and adjust accordingly as events play out.
Bank Holiday?
Farmgirl I understand where your coming from when I was young with children I was the same mindset . Maps to your neighbors is a whole different picture because you’ll also be found . One has to decide what you’ll accept but remember a group showing up are not there for a picnic , in defense spraying buckshot at knee height in the front rows can change an idea into a rout and at knee height your apt to take out many knees . Groups think their bad until they see their cohorts in front dropping in front of them screaming and crying . In the end everyone needs to decide to fight or run , not everyone has the mindset to drop people and there’s nothing wrong with that the ability to live with that is different in everyone . Any combat vet will tell you they werent brought up to kill training and doing what had to be done to save themselves was the deciding factor . Luck to you
Ken I think the political/current event articles are more than appropriate right now. Hopefully even those that may not be in line with ALL of the exact same beliefs can still see the value in the information. I’m a firm believer in soaking up as much info/knowledge as possible and then making your own decision and not just blindly listening to the MSM. I listen and read news from the far left to the far right and everything in between. Even if you don’t agree with certain concepts or thought processes you can almost always come away with some sort of info, even if that info is just understanding the thought process of the “other side”. Believe it goes “to know your enemy you must become your enemy”
That being said I would concur, I think there is no doubt that something else is coming. And that will be on top of a collapsing economy and some form of a second wave of the virus. For some reason some form of cyber attack possibly on our grid is not sitting well with me. Feel as if it would be a very opportune time for an outside player to hit us while we’re already tearing ourselves apart from the inside. And as many of us know pointing a finger at the source of a cyber attack is not an easy thing to do. Left would blame right, right would blame left which would only escalate the current situation. Prep on and stay safe everyone
As a new reader I don’t find anything wrong with covering current events especially when they could directly affect the survival community. Here in the Northeast the main concern was civil unrest in the large cities. In the past it was summertime power outages. As long as you stayed out of the “bad part”of town you were okay.
This latest lawlessness looks like something completely different. It’s politically driven by some very evil people. Why more Americans don’t see this is truly baffling ? Can only think the dumbing-down of America has worked. Preparing for rioters and looters does change the game plan somewhat.
Past concerns were desperate hordes of city dwellers spreading out to the suburbs and countryside looking for handouts after a major catastrophe. Now the golden horde ( as Mr Rawles refers to it ) are coming to loot and burn innocents out of their homes and businesses. Of course the left is pushing this confrontation as an excuse for firearms confiscation.
Again why the mob doesn’t see they’re being used as cannon fodder is baffling ? The left will use a few isolated incidences to further push their agenda counting on the vast majority of conservatives to obey the law. They have exploited this weakness over and over again. The left doesn’t obey the laws which is pretty evident as liberal mayors and governors watch their cities burn. Combating this evil will take a concerted effort on the part of conservatives everywhere.
Good luck and prayers sent out to all the good people across this nation.

This is absolutely right on!
Thanks for the insightful topics Ken and comments from all.
I just decided not to buy any more ammo. I figure I do not need more than 200 rounds of rifle ammo, as I shall either be dead by the time I run out, or will be able to collect more from the fallen enemy, before I run out.
Thanks for reminding me. I need to get more marbles for my ‘assault slingshot’ ( it has a pistol grip). All my firearms were lost in a boating accident.
INprepper:
You were boating on Navajo Lake also???
To me, these are the Level 4 articles that were being added. We’re just doing this part of the series in real time.
Honestly there is too much news for me to have time to read at this point, so stopping off here is a huge blessing due to everyone sharing what is happening in their locale. Even the comments that seem somewhat off topic at first glance are leading to another element to consider. Tmcgyver casually mentioned having generators stolen a couple of weeks ago by a very organized group. Then I began reading Andy Ngo’s twitter feed when Lauren mentioned the Seattle group needed vegan food, only to see that a handbook has been written on how to defend and maintain this autonomous zone – including instructing them to “acquire” generators and pool shock in the event that utilities are cut off. After which I began thinking about how likely it was that California will get its own autonomous zone soon, supplied with Tmcgyver’s generators. That if a manual is written there’s a very high probability that Seattle isn’t the only encampment, it’s just the first. Now this morning I read that Nashville will be targeted tonite for its own Autonomous Zone. Yet the power outages mentioned by aka that resulted from damaged equipment, not failure of parts, leaves an area that may well still be their next move.
In my opinion, an invading force has boots on the ground. They are setting up Command Centers. This one in Seattle mentions a Hot Tub store being close and how to use its contents to make chemical weapons. Indicating that these locations are being picked strategically because of what is contained within, or their proximity to something else, etc. Farmgirl mentions leaders working to identify farms, Lori sees a group of bikers with fists raised. Clearly their handbook is being followed, so everyone’s input on current events becomes even more valuable to me than some of the other content that could be written about at this time.
I thank Ken for a great site and also for his insight. But I also thank everyone else for their contributions because through your posts we are getting stronger and building our resolve together.
January To June 2020
1. The economy is in ruins (the real effects soon to be felt). The U.S. Debt is up $2,571,000,000,000 and U.S. Unfunded Liabilities is up $20,336,000,000,000
2. More people out of work than the Great Depression. In the last 6 months 35,168,324 People have lost their jobs.
3. Opportunistic multi-month lock-downs of the American people have successfully destroyed the middle class, their businesses, and have taken away their bread-and-circuses. Demanding complete control of the common citizen whale at the same time exempting themselves.
4. The biggest wealth transfer in human history from the middle class to the extremely wealthy. Threw excessive Taxing and Regulation using State and Local Government.
5. An opportunistic and pre-planned coordinated multi-frontal attack on the Police and law-and-order. Local and State Governments restricting (Denying)
Law Enforcements ability to protect the general public.
6. The highly energized attempts to incite a race war (ongoing since the Obama administration).
7. A stunningly coordinated mainstream media inflaming every and all battles against the orange man and his supporters, at any and all costs. This has been ongoing from the day President Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency.
8. 50% (or more) of the population apparently ready and willing to fall in line with the CMG’s (Communist, Marxist, Globalist) and the “new life” that awaits them in Utopia. We can thank the educational system for instilling these CMG’s in our young, also instilling in them not to trust their parents and the seniors in their community’s.
9. 50% (or less) of the population increasingly agitated and upset about what has been happening, many of whom are beginning to see what’s going on behind the curtain. The General Population is waking up to these corrupt politicians and their schemes to control the World.
Ken/All
I too agree there’s something about to happen that will light off the powder keg and I believe that ” something” will start in Seattle and spread to other major cities–watch things play out in the next 48hrs!!! I’ve spent the majority of my adult life in the military and worked some time in the same arena as M’Lynn. I too believe there are “outside forces” at work here and they are supporting Antifa/others both financially and logistically and the Left leaders allowing this to happen are playing right into their hands. The Right and other conservatives need to be ready to defend the ground you stand on. It will start in the major cities, but will eventually spread to the “burbs” and then rural communities–not sure how fast and to what level. Civil unrest has a nasty habit of spiraling out of control quickly.
Ken-I’m an avid reader of your posts and believe you are absolutely on the mark with your most recent ones. Information is critical preparedness and yours is timely. Keep up the great work!
Patriot LEO,
Thank you. I’ll do my best.
I copied and pasted this whole article, I did not write a single word, but, It’s long, but worth the read. Anomalies of the George Floyd “event” in Minneapolis, Minnesota have come to light leading some to question what they saw. To know if this was an entirely staged false flag, or what. IndependentSentinel.com reported March 12, Mainstream Media hosts “Greta Van Sustren, Megyn Kelly and others on FOX asked their guests… who is behind the assault on the Trump rally.” U.S. Attorney General William Barr answered the “Who-Dunnit” question with this public statement: “The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.” Intuitively people on both sides of the fence, 1) conspiracy-nuts and 2) mainstream-mugs both, seem to know SOMEBODY is pulling the strings behind the scenes in the racially motivated assaults and riots. Journalists have addressed this in numerous stories. If you run with this line of thinking you wonder, not only WHO this “somebody” really is, but also what is the “goal” of their plan? Which leads to the next most-obvious question: What was “their plan” to begin with? The general consensus seems to be, “They” needed a “spark” racial-event to kick off the “prescheduled” campaigns of race-rage in targeted cities across the United States. Eyewitnesses have reported seeing support teams in action providing bricks to people to throw at police or business windows for looting. Other reports have police finding caches of rocks, bricks and other riot supplies like fire-bombs in different cities. Which identifies the FACT that the second phase of this unfolding racial violence was definitely premeditated, preplanned, prepared. With supplies in place in-advance. There was foreknowledge and advance set-up to support the riots. There was “coordination” as Veterans Today described in great detail and other sources also reported widely. Which has everyone on both sides of the fence agreeing SOMEBODY is behind all of this. Which leads to one of the biggest anomalies of this whole string of events. How did all of the riot support teams get in the different riot cities and set up for the riots in advance, if they didn’t already know “when” the riots were to begin? Get my drift? It certainly does appear the date of the primary trigger for the rioting must have been known in advance too. Which means in this case, the date bad white cop would put his knee on the neck crime suspect black man was known in advance, since it was the trigger to the rioting that was all prepared for, ready and waiting in the riot cities ahead of time. If this logical progression is indeed true and accurate. We know the specific “initiating event” in Minneapolis must have been staged to be “the trigger-event” to start the rioting. If the date was foreknown – the event on that date had to be foreknown, premeditated and staged too. In recent false flag events the… Read more »
Stand My Ground,
So happy to see ya post. You have been on my mind a lot lately.
Please stay safe and post as ya see fit.
Keeping you and yours in my prayers 🙏

We the people dared to elect an uncouth, loud, braggy, populist candidate, who is not a member of the particular PTB group working behind the scenes in this country and others. In spite of the fraud that was committed to attempt to ensure results otherwise. That cannot be allowed to happen again. All stops are being pulled to make sure it doesn’t – disease, social unrest, martial law, medical tyranny. I will not be surprised if another lockdown is ordered before the elections, with just enough time to get mail-in ballots in place.
Had DJT not won the election in 2016, we would have seen events unfolding much sooner, but probably not much differently. There are a convergence of crises to be dealt with, and for TPTB are much easier to deal with without so many darn people. It’s a resource reset. It’s been coming for a while, it’s been planned for years. The herd is being thinned.
Financial system is on life support, and has been for a while – the can can’t be kicked down the road any longer. Weather patterns are changing and shifting, affecting agriculture across the planet. Famine, real hunger, will soon be a thing for people who’ve never known it before. TPTB know all of these things, and have seen it far ahead of time. I’m reminded of that secret organization in that first darker Batman movie that every now and then destroys a civilization, headed by Raz al Gul. Interesting that the warlord of CHAZ in the area formerly know as Seattle is named Raz. Funny.
Mix a bunch of very smart psychopaths with immense wealth and power, willing followers in a broad swath of professions and positions, with gullible plebes with chips on their soldiers and you have the perfect storm just waiting to happen. Just takes a trigger, which George Floyd’s murder, real or otherwise, conveniently provided.
I don’t know if all of the above is true, or just my wacky speculation, but it all just seems to well orchestrated to be coincidence.
chips on their shoulders – not soldiers, sheesh!
I think there is going to be a lot of folks who wished they knew about ham radio. Power outage? Real News? Comms with loved ones at a distance.
I guess I should have mentioned it before. Ah well, I tried.
Supposed to be a geo storm happening right now.
NOAA’s WSA-ENLIL prediction tool shows a burst of high-density plasma hitting Earth on June 13
SO. can you imagine if there were a natural event that disrupted power or worse burned out the power grid.
What would they do then? they would try to take over.
That easily could be the start of the war they seem to desperately want.
