information on how to prepare for world chaos
#10457219 - 06/04/09 10:24 PM (14 years, 11 months ago) |

Out of curiosity, are there any survival guide type websites that can help me prepare for what I expect is a coming military/police state in the U.S.? I'm trying to avoid processed foods [especially with aspartame and all that other preservative garbage etc) and tap water (flouride) but I don't know, I don't feel a sense of paranoia just this strange guarded feeling against an invisible but persistent threat...Anyone else ever feel they're constantly at a battle for their own mind? For their body? I'm sure there is a ton of survival information out there and I've camped and been out in the wilderness but never had to survive off the land so far and yeah I just want to get prepared...even if nothing is going to happen I want to be capable of being fully independent and sure that I can survive off the system.

You are welcome to prepare however the military/police state is not coming to the US.
I can see storing some water and food for natural disasters and such, but how do you prepare for a police state? Its not like the police are going to starve you or turn off your water.
And if they did declare martial law the least safe thing to have around would be a bunch of guns and weapons.

If there is nothing else to eat, processed foods work just fine. Of course its always a good idea to avoid them on principle.

Why are you worried about flouride? Does it brainwash you as it strengthens your teeth?

If the threat is invisible there is a good chance that its not really there.

Survival skills are good to learn, although I sincerely doubt that you will ever need to use them. As long as people keep needing food there will be someone willing to sell it to them. If not, remember that all grasses and pine trees are edible, that should keep you from starving just about anywhere you are. Water is more important than food, you can chew thistle stems for water if none is available. I highly recommend books by Tom Brown, he is one of the best survival writers out there and all of his work is fascinating. I especially recommend "The Tracker", "Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival", "Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking", "Tom Brown's Guide to City and Suburban Survival", "Tom Brown's Field Guide to Living with the Earth" and "Tom Brown's Guide to Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants".

I appreciate the posts and advice. Oh, and yeah I don't really mind if you think I'm crazy for bein' a tad paranoid about the gov't. It's not just about that though, I also want to make some extended camping trips and just needed survival info anyway. Maybe I'm a tinfoil hat wearing loon, but I'd rather be prepared for a what if than be fucked because I trusted every reassurance I heard from a bunch of lying suits.

I don't think you're a loon, I think it's inevitable that the financial systems will collapse and most likely martial law will be declared. I've looked into living off the grid and into transition towns and intentional communities, the more self sustained the better. Their is a wealth of information available on the internet through the search engines.

I found this extremely interesting. It's a U.S. Army survival manual. LOTS of very practical survival information.

"You are welcome to prepare however the military/police state is not coming to the US."
Technically you are correct. It is here already but the sheep don't realize it. Didn't we use to have a constitution that said no warrantless wiretapping, no opening the mail etc without court order? All that has been done away with under the new world order. All they have to do is say the magic words "there are terrorists out there" and the constitution is waste paper. By a strange, or not so strange coincidence, obama is on the same page as shrub on that. And in regards to keeping the wars going, raiding pot clinics, torturing detainees, etc.
Someone will say he promised to end all that. Yeah, he promised. Now they don't call it torture, they call it something else. They still raid the clinics but use a different excuse each time. The wars go on but he says someday it will end. I think even shrub promised that much.
Yeah, no police state but have your papers ready for inspection and say hi to barry when you talk on the phone.

I thought they still needed a court order to open mail.

Not even close.

They raided maybe one clinic after they said they wouldn't. Given the large number of pot clinics out there it seems as though it is much safer to run them now.

You are out of it, alan. They have raided clinics several times since obama took over. He totally supported the fisa bill which does not require a normal court order. Obama has opposed releasing photos of detainees and their abuse, has opposed ending the 2 wars we are in, all the things i said are true. If you know otherwise, lets see some proof of it. The clinic raids and surveillence have been discussed a lot.

I disagree, we seem to have very different interpretations of the same events.
Quote:

I am aware of two raids at the beginning, and none for a few months now.
Quote:

If I remember correctly the FISA bill does require judicial oversight.
Quote:

I would do the same thing, there is no good reason to have those images out there if it can be avoided.
Quote:

Yes that is disturbing.
Still, all presidents suck and this one appears to suck only about one tenth as much as the ones we usually get.
How many pot dispensaries do you think will get raided under president palin?

Um, if you want to argue about Obama, here's a nice shortlist of what he's done.
Promises kept, promises broken, things that are in the works and compromises he's made

That may well depend on what you mean by 'new world order'. Alex Jones? Immortality for Rupert Murdoch? Maybe not.
But then again, Rome was a New World Order. The UN. Franco-Prussia. New World Orders occur every time a new order arises in the world. Many of them have been VERY dangerous to their constituents, as is the case throughout history often time.

"I am aware of two raids at the beginning, and none for a few months now."
So he only broke his promise twice and that's not so bad? Raids were 1 clinic on jan 23, 4 clinics in feb, and another again on 3-25
That's 6 clinics raided, you count 2 and say it's ok. Well if shrub broke his promise once you would be screaming about it. Obama gets a few free passes, it seems. Here is what the white house said on feb 6 "White House: DEA Raids in Medical Marijuana States Will Stop" and yet the raids go on. That so called trump card website doesn't even list this as a broken promise. Gee, i wonder if it's a left wing wacko site like most of the media?
""has opposed ending the 2 wars we are in" Yes that is disturbing."
Merely disturbing? And you follow that with a rationalization about how all presidents suck. All presidents from the same demoblican party suck. Try a second party some time. I use to say third party but the first two have fused some time back.

Yea but the thing about war is this... Once your in it... Your in it... Now that we are in it and that's a fact we can't just "leave". If we do, it will make everything we did thus far (if anything) in vain... Now that we are in Afghanistan and Iraq we might as well take any spoil we can... Whether it be oil money whatever... You can't just decide one day to "end" a war... Also with all the instability in the region we have a very strategic war-time position in the area... It's important to have troops everywhere at all times... In case something happens were close... To people thinking of doing harm they might think twice because they know we are close... I do believe the wars we are in may not have been the best wars to jump into...
But the fact of the matter is that we did... And now that we are there, we have to win... No matter what the costs... How do we win?? I have no idea, I don't think anybody does... But one thing is for sure, we can't let any nation think we lost...

"win" in what way? Killing x number of people? Did we win in vietnam? No. And we will not win in iraq nor afg either. And we aren't allowed to take any spoils. It's lose lose but obama has to follow his bosses orders. We are not the ones who give him orders, it's the bilderberg group.
