Facts matter. Opinions and predictions matter. When they point in the same direction they matter more. Crisis are coming closer together. Everything’s an emergency, and every fix spawns more emergencies. We don’t know, and maybe can’t know, who’s in charge of what. Equilibrium is everywhere giving way to instability, which is devolving into insanity. What’s coming may defy belief even in hindsight, an inescapable, unstoppable collapse into medieval ruin.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Most of us won’t survive such a catastrophe. In the cities the odds of surviving the first few weeks are not much more than zero. Within a few days walk of the cities the odds improve, but slightly and temporarily. Even far from the cities only some of the practiced and prepared will survive the short term, fewer yet the long term. For those not already well situated it’s probably too late, the learning curve is steep and the consequences of failure are final.
What will remain intact after the first few weeks? The important decisions have already been made. Only that which can be protected with drastically diminished resources: parts of the east and west coasts mainly, distribution centers and port facilities, major railroads and highways, power plants, medical and communication centers, strategic military installations. Not all. Not even most. Only the irreducible core assets and indispensable personnel. All else is exploitable or expendable. This is how it begins. Stay away from crowds.
Crowds, groups, associations, clubs, fraternal organizations, churches, governments, cops, military, alumni funds, – I’ve stayed away from them all.
You may, one day, rue the day you decided to do that. If you want protection, power for you cause or keep people/groups in line, you probably have to stand up with others to get er done. The left is doing this very well.
How about staying away for 27 years?
“Christopher Knight was only 20 years old when he walked away from society, not to be seen again for more than a quarter of a century. He had been working for less than a year installing home and vehicle alarm systems near Boston, Massachusetts, when abruptly, without giving notice to his boss, he quit his job. He never even returned his tools. He cashed his final pay cheque and left town.
Knight did not tell anyone where he was going. “I had no one to tell,” he says. “I didn’t have any friends. I had no interest in my co-workers.” He drove down the east coast of America, eating fast food and staying in cheap motels – “the cheapest I could find”. He travelled for days, alone, until he found himself deep into Florida, sticking mostly to major roads, watching the world go by.”

I love this world…it drives me to drink!
“The avatar’s of the wealth will see their lives turn to shit just like the moiling, Budweiser-gulping, oxycontin-addled deplorables in the flat, boring, parking lot wastelands of our ruined drive-in Utopia saw their lives rendered into a brown-and-yellow slurry draining clockwise down the toilet of history”.
