Today, I instructed my wife to prepare for post Obama election by doing the following:
1. Close out our bank accounts, checking accounts, savings account.
2. Eliminate and exist from all medical service programs, insurance, and destroy all medical records and ID numbers.
3. Destroy and toss all cell phones.
4. Take out and smash all black boxes in our vehicles. Will put on the road my 69 mustaang.
5. Cut up all credit cards and call to stop all transactions.
6. Call and stop propane gas shipments, will now burn firewood. Already have more than 500 cord stacked as a backup.
7. Buy only the bare necessaities and pay all bills with a money order.
8. Plan all travel areas, use back roads to avoid TSA agents.
9. Do not use landline telephone only in an emergency.
10. Call and turn off Direct TV.
11. End all computer web services.
12. Build a gate at the end of our driveway and keep it locked. Inform all friends and relatives to call first prior to a visit so the gate can be unlocked.
13. Get involved more heavily with local Tea Party to establish a third party, no more money to the GOP under any circumstance!
The list may be updated to include other more secret actions that the government need not know about here!
Don’t you think that this list is a tad overdone?
It is really stupid to announce all this. I say chesty thumping.
Good joke man. Very funny.
Sounds just a bit paranoid, doesn’t it? Oh well! It takes all kinds. LOL
Good idea - don't post any more "Secret" ideas that the Gov't need not know about on a public website - especially if you've already ended all computer web services.
Gee whiz...I hope you're going to pitch in. That's a heavy list to put on your wife's shoulders.
Just out of curiosity. How are you going to post?
I am curious as to what your wife said when you told her to do all of those things.
Good luck and God Bless you. We wouldn’t be here with a nation of people like you.
I assume we can put you in the “disappointed with election results” column?
Cut off DirectTV????
From my cold, dead hands.
14. Post all plans on a government-monitored conservative (i.e. subversive) website.
won't be a joke when you are charged for “carbon credits” so you can heat your home!
Won't be a joke when the UN shows up and demands your firearms under the small arms treaty Obama says he will now sign!
No one is laughing!
Get rid of the landline too, and just use pigeons to communicate.
Well damn! He put up the 500 cords of wood!
If you’re destroying all cell phones and only using landlines in an emergency then how are your friends going to call you when they need the gate unlocked?
Put down the drink and come in off the ledge. Besides, who packed you chute?

> 11. End all computer web services.
You don’t have to do that. You can use TOR:

Right on paratrooper. Right on.
And don’t forget to include the purchase of the big bubble you and the wife plan on living in.
[Gee whiz...I hope you’re going to pitch in. That’s a heavy list to put on your wife’s shoulders. ]
I laughed. If my husband gave me this list and “instructed” me to do it, I’d tell him he was losing it and to do it himself.
Oh my. I thought that this was a tongue in cheek post. You’re serious about all this?
You instructed your wife to do those things? And her response was...?
Inform all friends and relatives to call first prior to a visit so the gate can be unlocked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call? Dude. You done threw away the cell phones and don’t use the land lines.
Loosen up that chinstrap troop. Remember, a proper PLF isn’t ‘feet, ass, and head’...:)
“Call and stop propane gas shipments, will now burn firewood. Already have more than 500 cord stacked as a backup.”
I would continue using the propane and save the firewood. It sounds that you are retired. I would consider many of your ideas but I have a business, am still making money, and need to work.
What about moving to Ecuador?
Well....we are laughing WITH you....sorta.
You are going Galt, off the grid, etc. We get it. More power to you, fine prepper. Keep in touch.
I guess I know what you will do!
Also, not to touch my car, checking account, credit cards, or wireless service.
Was she supposed to have all that done by the end of the day?
Your account numbers are in a permanent file held by your medical & financial services providers and accessible to FedGov. You will be asked, under your extreme scenario, to prove it was all spent and on what. Retirement accounts have taxes involved.
Proof of health insurance is mandatory as of January. No ins: fine &/or jail.
They can assess your carbon footprint on your firewood.
500 cords? Full cords or face? It still will be punk before you use most of it.
IF they demand your firearms, they will break down your gate and search for them. If they find so much as a whiff of gunpowder residue, they’ll dig up your land, if they want them that badly.
Your _wife_ knows how to get the black box out and destroy it?
With drones, they don’t need TSA VIPR.
Way to not become a member of the Church of the Low Profile and to rise rapidly to the top of any watch list.
Your thoughts?
I shut off Direct 3 years ago.
I get all the programs - and FOX - online FREE - and pay Netflix $7.95 a month the watch movies, docs and series - without ads (half the time time spent.) I have a cable from PC to my Flatscreen TV in the living room so that I can watch them all there.
I'm loving that money - over $1,000 a year - in MY pocket. (can buy a lot of 'food' for that)
LOL!
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step outa line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey what’s that sound
Everbody look what’s goin down
1967 Buffalo Springfield
I’m sure she didn’t like his tone.
Obama needs to get the deficit down, how do you suppose he will do that, cutting government? NO, he is coming for your money and wealth! How does government do that? It steals it from you. Are you going to just stand there and get mugged by the government?
No one is laughing!
Subsistence hunting may become necessary sooner rather than later.
Rather than piling up firewood what you need to do is check out your chainsaw ~ make sure it's in working condition, then track down where some of the EPA employees live. Theirs is the first place to sack for firewood ~ not their homes but their lots. Practice the route a few times, and wait until other fuel sources are exhausted ~ the trees continue to grow.
ummm, at 10 cord a year (and I sure hope your dwelling is more heat efficient than that's that's 50+ years worth. And it's likely you can get lots more in those 50+ years.)
so 'am assuming you figure wood will be valuable commodity for barter/sale. BTW, you got a donkey or two planned? Mustang won't haul a lot, especially when it runs out of gas...or stored gas has gone 'sour".
That locked gate gonna keep a S.W.A.T armored vehicle at bay?
R'ots a ruck.

2. Eliminate and exist from all medical service programs, insurance, and destroy all medical records and ID numbers.
Maybe you think you can maintain control over your life by implementing these procedures...but you do not control your health, and even if you're "healthy" now, that all can change on a dime.
Just a joke...I don’t even have NetFlix or cable or anything. I just don’t watch that much TV anyway.
I've lost track to the info, but there is a way to keep communication with selected people online thru' the DOS system.
Anyone remember this?
Not that I am full onboard with the OP but Wi-fi.
I’m a “simple liver” although I don’t use that term since I found out that most of the simple living folks are liberal whackjobs and environ mental cases.
