"And to the government officials: Yes, I hope you are reading this. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if some of you thought this article was some statement to try to overthrow the government. Here’s a newsflash for you: As far as many of us are concerned, this government was ‘overthrown’ long ago, and it’s become more apparent every day that we have no control over you, and to be honest – we don’t want to control you. We want to be left alone."

Good article. And many of us have already figured this out. But the ones who haven't will soon start the "Survivalist KooKs" chants that they think are derogatory.

I hope their government takes as good care of them as they deserve.

You see, we figured we might not want to be around lots of very scared and desperate people in 110 degree heat with no electricity in three states.

Imagine living in a city full of crazy dumbed down liberals. Might better tail it out of the city and don't look back. Let the liberals "cleanse" themselves.

Prepare ourselves, America. Even if nothing happens, we’ll still be better off in the long run.

Wow. That's just what the Bible says. " A wise man hears of trouble comming, and prepares for it. If that trouble does not arrive, he is still much better off because of it."

What timing!

We've always been sufficient enough to live off the grid. It comes from stories of the great depression. If it happened once, it could happen again.
I'm sure there's something important we probably overlooked, but it is better than none.
The scary part is comming from a large family who has learned to have faith in a man made system. Our place would be full in no time.

I am as prepared as I can be.

My medical conditions require that I remain near a large city. Unfortunately so does my job.

If and when the balloon goes up, I'll be there. I don't know how long I'll last.

But advising people to simply 'head for the hills' and live off the land, survivalist-like, doesn't work--at least for me.

If you think that our southern border needs protection, there is no excuse not to enforce it yourself. The U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement is begging for help, let’s not even discuss the INS, and what jury would convict anyone anyway?

Right here you go folks. Texans can click *here* and *everyone else can check it out *here.*. If you can't come down to the border area there are other ways you can assist, give it a click and check it out.

And if the US government completely throws in the towel and caves in to the Mexican invaders, selling out the citizens to foreign interests [hey, a multinational globalist oilman would never do that, right?] You can go *here* or *here*

The admission by the administration; "we can't save you" - is, or should be startling. It's a low-key wake-up alarm that is being muffled. They, the governmental and in-the-know private voices are stating new terrorist attacks are, "when" and not "if". The next logical post-disaster statements will be: "We told you so". The statement should be: " 'WHEN' it happens, you're on you own, be prepared!"

If one considers the very recent decisions on "the Right OF THE PEOPLE to own and bear arms", coupled with - "we can't save you", perhaps the light bulbs of survival will go on. It should be clear that the same Administration is giving two relatively quick back-to-back warnings:
1. we cannot save you, and a timely follow-up of
2. you have the Constitutional Right to defend yourself (and our Nation), by bearing arms

"WHEN", what is feared happens, i.e, another September 11th, I am sure J.J. Johnson's article (above) will be finally digested. Even the "do for me" nanny-staters continually calling for "closure" (for somebody else) may wake-up and smell the falout. Somebody can draw chalk lines around those still slumbering.

Many think they could and should prepare to fight off a standing army or orgnanized police attack on them.....won't happen, IMHO. "Problem areas" will probably be dealt with overwhelmingly, or not at all. My way of thinking is to go outside and turn off the power and water and gas to the house and then consider how you will heat, cool, cook, clean, toilet, waste, stay aware of local and national events, light, protect and heal your families ills, etc, etc, etc. Those concerns will be far more prevalent and frequent than the few incidents where you might have to have the will, the training, and the tools for mortal combat.

So think about:

Food storage, expecially without power, for at least a 6-month+ supply (think variety, taste, etc.). BTW, Crisco won't go rancid like other oils for cooking and baking.
replenishing food source (garden, small farm, livestock, etc.)
recipes
water sources, purifcation, transport and storage
power sources
long-range and short-range weapons
ammunition (especialy common calibers, like .22, which would be a very convenient means of exchange/barter/currency)
know the local flora and fauna for extra food source
light sources (Photon III LED lights)
waste management and hygiene (imagine the worst for motivation)
vehicles (auxiliary fuel tanks, high mileage, off-road, bicycles for short 5-10 mile trips, etc)
information source (Baygen crank radio, shortwave)
entertainment (books, art supplies, toys, crafts)
medicine, medical kits, bandages
clothing, sewing kits, blankets, seasonal attire, laundry methods
storage compartments
safety equipment and flares
resource books (repair manuals, sewing manuals, building manuals), blank notebooks
sleeping equipment
keepsakes (Gramma's locket, not her piano), and anything else not listed here

The 'blue-helmet' target practice will come in handy... for tapping a few rabbits for dinner much more often that pushing back oppressive forces. Those Y2K preparations we 'kooks' went through were a great practice run.
