PREPARING FOR THE WORST, WHAT YOU CAN DO, ARTICLE FROM http://www

threeworldwars.com

 

What is great about this website (http://threeworldwars.com) is that he

tells you what you can do about what is going on. How to prepare, etc. Not

just a " you're doomed " scenario as I usually present (Sorry, most people don

t even know we're doomed, which is why I focus on that...Once the majority

realizes what is going on, I will move on to what we can do about it...As

discussing what we can do about it, when most people don't even realize

there is a problem, would be moot.) --Andy.

 

Preparing for the Worst

To be Prepared is Half the Victory

The question I am most often asked is " If what you're saying is true, it's

obvious that I need to do something to protect myself and my family, but I

don't know where to start. Can you help? "

Sadly most people are woefully unprepared for the inevitable terrorist

attacks, natural disasters, and other disruptions that are planned for our

daily lives. Our government tells us VIRTUALLY NOTHING about what we can do

to protect ourselves. (And make no mistake about it, there's plenty we can

do.) We don't have to be sitting ducks!

As JFK once said, " The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. "

So, as the storm clouds start brewing all around us, let's make sure the

roof is in order, before it's too late.

So What Is A Rational Individual To Do?

Ensure your personal financial affairs are in order;

Reduce your TV time to no more than 1 hour per day and instead read

voraciously;

Avoid sensationalist news and choose mainly text-based news services;

Cover your Online tracks carefully so that you can never be accused of

terrorism';

Develop a survivalist mindset;

Develop alternative income streams, instead of relying on a 9-5 job always

being there;

Learn how to relax, in the midst of worsening news and circumstances.

Eliminate Debt

It's vital to have your own individual economic affairs in order. In terms

of real economic facts, that does not mean that they have to be perfect or

exemplary. All it means is that you have to know where and how you stand

economically. Make a very clear distinction between what you own and what

you don't own. What you own is anything to which you hold free and clear

title and which has no debt against it. If there is debt standing against

some of your " possessions " (you don't OWN them until the debt is cleared),

live WITHIN your means to bring the day of ownership closer.

Second, in regard to what you own, maintain and keep in your own personal

possession enough cash (literal CASH - in your own currency) to be able to

pay for all upkeep, maintenance, government charges and imposts etc. for at

least two and up to six months.

As an expression of your own individual independence, maintain a 15-20

percent personal holding of Gold coin. Bullion grade coin, since you are not

building up a " coin collection " , you are holding money.

It is that holding which keeps you OUTSIDE the entire global fandango of

fiat money, and OUTSIDE the global credit money system. In the breakdown of

the monetary and financial system of Weimar Germany, a Gold coin was often

the difference between managing to live in a reasonable manner (discreetly)

and sleeping on the street. In the US in the 1930s, a Gold coin was often

given (very discreetly - the ownership of Gold was illegal) to a son or

daughter with the words: " This keeps you free " .

Ignore the " price fluctuations " of Gold, except as they bring opportunities

to add to your holdings. Gold ownership will do more than almost anything

else to increase your independence and, as a corollary, your EARNED pride.

What you will get in return is the inestimable benefit of a human respect

from those around you capable of recognizing it. A mutual respect of this

nature is the foundation of all positive and productive human relationships.

A note about our current fiat paper money system: If the printing of paper

money, credit and debt could create real wealth there would be NO poverty

anywhere. To ACTUALLY create wealth takes savings, sound investments of

money saved into real productive capital, and debt free property as a base

on which to produce the new wealth.

To find gold dealers in your town, do a Yellow Pages search under 'Gold &

Bullion Dealers', or consider opening an egold account. For advice on what

coins to own and for an excellent case study of the history of gold, see The

Privateer.com.

What to do About Things Right Now

Don't think you can afford to own gold right now? Here's a superb article

which may provide pointers on what you should be doing to prepare.

The following copyrighted material is excerpted from Chapter 15, " Treading

Water " of the book " In Defense of Racism, " (also at www.conspiracypenpal

Well, there are a number of things you can do right now to ensure that you

personally prepare for the coming hard times. Some will think you nuts. But

there are things you can do quietly and covertly, even in that context.

Most importantly, you must plan now and be ready to implement that plan the

moment the wheels come off.

If you live in a city, you need to plan how to get out in the event of a

catastrophe. Immediately. Not the next day. Not that night. Immediately.

Remember what South Central LA looked like just hours after the Rodney King

verdict was handed down? Thats how quickly it will degenerate.

No freeways. They will be death traps. You need an escape route that takes

you through neighborhoods you know will be safe for a time. Being among the

first to leave will help to ensure that roads are not blocked.

You must have a plan in place for assembling your family for the trip,

regardless of the time of day that it becomes necessary.

Assemble a " bug-out " kit and keep it in your trunk.

Store enough gasoline in cans in your garage to get you to wherever you

already have planned will be your retreat. Recycle the contents every six

months, because gasoline degenerates fairly rapidly. Keep your escape

vehicle gassed up and well-serviced at all times.

Make a list of the things you can grab while the family is being assembled.

Keep the list in the bug-out kit. Make a copy and keep it in your sock

drawer, in case the car is busy picking up kids. Think apocalyptically today

 

You won't be capable of rational thought when the need arises, but you will

be able to follow your list. Include any gold and silver you might be

keeping stashed away (if you don't have any, then shame on you). Include

weapons you will need them, rest assured.

Get permission in advance, even if you treat it as a big joke, to arrive on

the doorstep of friends or family in the country, if that is what you must

do. Otherwise, they will not be happy to see you. Arrive with enough of

something or other that makes you a valuable and welcome addition to their

enclave. Food. Gasoline. Bullets. Gold. That sort of thing.

If nothing ever happens, which I consider exceedingly unlikely (that is, it

is inevitable, in my humble opinion), then you will have wasted nearly

nothing. In fact, you will make money on the appreciation in gold and silver

that has been going on and will continue for several years. If something

happens, a few hours' preparation today may spell the difference between

life and death. Yours. And your family's.

If you've a mind to, now would be an excellent time to move your family to

an area likely to be among the safer in the country, regardless of what may

happen. That will not include any city of any serious size. Nor should it

include areas within 100 miles of any coast (can you say, " nuke-induced

Tsunami? " ). The more paranoid will want to stay at least 400 miles away from

Yellowstone Park.

In short, start developing a mindset of independent living and survival,

details of which can be found in our Survival section.
