THE SEA GYPSY TRIBE – PAST AND FUTURE

by Ray Jason

It has been nearly a decade since I first started sharing my Sea Gypsy Tribe concept on the World Wide Web. My belief is that ocean-going sailboats are the best survival platform for any catastrophe that might arise. And I am convinced that small groups of like-minded, well-prepared sailors banding together are an excellent option for dealing with disasters. That conviction remains as solid as a light-house.

However, something quite significant has changed during the intervening ten years. The scenarios that deeply concerned me back then have diminished in severity. But these have been replaced by even more frightening dangers.

For example, I once believed that Climate Change was indeed the “existential threat” that is so loudly and incessantly trumpeted from the mainstream press and institutions. However, in 2017, I decided to join some friends in an attempt to sail across the legendary Northwest Passage above the North American continent.

For decades, so-called experts have been predicting that the Arctic would be “ice-free” any day now. It most definitely was not. Here are a couple of photos that I took to prove this point. In one, we are trapped by huge icebergs and in the other we are desperately seeking a path through the endless pack ice. Eventually, we succeeded. But that voyage from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Nome, Alaska took 76 days.

This experience inspired me to examine human-caused Climate Change far more thoroughly. My results were jolting – but encouraging. That’s because I discovered that the risk has been enormously exaggerated.

Sadly, this is not an accident. It is a deliberate fraud designed to funnel more wealth and power to those at the top while subjecting those of us at the bottom to more poverty and misery. Here is a link to one of my essays that thoroughly explains this.

Another possible calamity that concerned me a decade ago was Big “E” Energy. Peak Oil was widely heralded as the catalyst that would initiate societal collapse. But fracking and tar sands have managed to postpone that emergency. Many argue that this technology has just delayed the inevitable, but undoubtedly this threat seems less significant now than it did 10 years ago.

Economics – or more precisely, economic lunacy – was my third major concern when I first advanced my Sea Gypsy Tribe strategy. A gigantic global economic meltdown seemed imminent and inescapable.

After all, how could you solve a debt crisis by creating MORE debt?Since every fiat currency in history had eventually failed, why was the dollar seen as invulnerable? And what about the “unfunded liabilities” that the aging Baby Boom generation were creating?Yet despite the obvious cracks in the global economic dam, it has somehow survived … for now.

Besides these threats, I proposed that ocean-ready sailboats were also the best answer to nuclear war or an EMP attack or bio-terrorism or any other apocalyptic scenario.

I have not wavered in my belief that small tribes of 6 to 10 boats of able-bodied, highly intelligent, properly-prepared and strong-willed sea gypsies can withstand any dire situation. But what has changed is my awareness of an extraordinary danger that I had not anticipated.

                                                              *******

All of the possible disasters that I have inventoried above, stem from the traditional motivations that have cursed our species down through the centuries. Greed and the Lust for Power have been prominent in human cultures ever since about 10,000 years ago, when Big “A” Agriculture led to hierarchies and to social stratification.

But there is a new impetus that drives me to again argue for the formation of Sea Gypsy Tribes all around our wet and magnificent planet. A far more dangerous – and perhaps even an existential threat, is now darkening the near-future human horizon.

There is a group of semi-secret tyrants who are trying to impose a planet-wide control grid upon the ordinary people of Earth. They seek to totally transform what we have come to regard as our everyday lives.

I fear that these Malignant Overlords are not driven by the traditional motives of Greed and Power. That is because they already possess more wealth and power than a medieval king.

Instead, their desire to achieve total control over the lives of everyone on the planet, is fueled by something deeper and darker. They are Servants to Evil. How else can one explain the New Normal that they are attempting to impose upon Humanity?

They want to control our bodies with mandatory vaccinations, useless masks and implanted chips to track, trace and monitor us.

They want to thwart our mobility by making international travel impossible due to quarantines. And they want to switch out our cars which are physical symbols of our personal freedom, and replace them with self-driving vehicles that they can control with drone technology.

They want to replace paper money with a digital, cashless system. Although they will lie and tell us that it is for our convenience, it is actually for their control. They will be able to monitor our every transaction. And should we attempt to buy an AR-15, they can forbid that purchase and add us to a “watch list.” And should we upset them too many times they can simply eliminate the money in your account – “accidentally” of course.

They even want to control the food we eat. There is a massive global media campaign to demonize meat even though it is our ancestral food and our ideal species-appropriate diet. Their grand plan is to force us to survive on insect goo protein.

They claim that this is to save the planet and to be more compassionate to animals. However, they do not mention that meat production is a very small proportion of greenhouse gases – in fact cows only contribute 2%. And they ignore the carnage of billions of small animals that get murdered by massive harvesters and pesticides.

I could describe page after page of horrific changes that they intend to force on Humanity as they convert us into 21st Century serfs. But I will only discuss one more.

Klaus Schwab, who seems to be a James Bond villain disguised as a societal visionary, actually wants to alter our biological essence. He does not just want to force tracking chips under our skin, he wants to implant chips into our brains.

He proclaims that this will connect us to THE CLOUD. My guess is that it will wifi us into the Hive Mind. We will become nothing more than Cyber Worker Bees.

                                                               Klaus Schwab

                                                                     *******

Returning back to my Sea Gypsy Tribe message, I now believe that our mission has changed dramatically.  We should certainly be prepared to respond to the more traditional disasters that I mentioned earlier in this essay.

BUT, our utterly vital new quest must be to protect and sustain the natural, biological human being that is so ruthlessly attacked every day.

We must rebel against being enslaved by this demented Technocracy. We must continue to raise true human children, and heap scorn upon their test tube reproduction. We must repel any authorities who try to “augment” us with their Devil Chips.

This will require supreme self-sufficiency. We will have to sail away from the comfort and convenience of the real World. But the Sea and the Shore are bountiful to those who study them and embrace them.

Our little water-wandering tribes will remain a small beacon of refusal and resourcefulness in dark and troubled times. Take comfort in the knowledge that we will be out there – surviving and flourishing!

Rogue waves are more of a concern. Unless you are close to shore, tsunamis generally will just make the boat go up and down with zero impact.

Although I swim like a fish I wouldn’t know how to handle a boat if one was given to me. Survival can take many aspect, yours being just as valid as any others.
I still believe that against an army of Schwab Haliburton like soldiers, my chances of survival on foot are greater that on any boat which could be easily targeted by satellite.
Mountains are great place to hide, except from an earthquake.

It’s not that difficult, especially under survival situations.

Do you really think that any gov’t would waste a million $ missile to take out some lone sailor anchored in some reef lagoon in the south pacific? Really?

When I read his first posting of the Sea Gypsy plan, I told him I wish I had known about it 25 years ago when I got divorced. It would have made a lot of sense for me back then. Now, I am too old and too tied down to do something that is this out of the box.

I figure this running out of oil stuff is BS. Millions of people have a paid for car or truck and are happy with their situation. Now we are being pushed into? Getting rid of our cars and getting into debt for electric cars that don’t have the range or abilities our ICE vehicles have. Not to mention the infrastructure or capacity to handle millions of people plugging in. There are problems with batteries and disposing of them also. I was told the coast right outside of LA has enough oil to last the country for a few hundred years.

Ray, A long ago article in Latitude 38 explained that nuclear fallout sinks in water so if you get dusted ,get out the bucket and rinse everything off . The crabs aren’t so lucky but at least they have shells. Remember when there was a spate of stories about the mutated sea anomalies out at the Farallons due to the Navy dumping tons of nuke waste? Giant crabs and things-shudder.
One of the things I learned on my 29 day passage was ‘take more food’ .

If you ever make it ‘on to the radar’ of that sort of state, it would be child’s play to eliminate you. They are already good at finding boats out on the ocean.

What’s the longest you’ve sailed without ship maintenance or overhaul you weren’t able to complete yourself with tools you had on the ship and materials you harvested yourself?

What I’m getting at is you might find your freedom severely limited by the whims of the harbormaster.

Interesting posts all, but none seem to address the main concern of the writer; his attention has shifted from survival via a novel sea faring means, to an acknowledgement of the real danger is to humanity itself.

His point is well taken; what is the motivation of the global gulag that is being developed and implemented right before our eyes? Is the motivation money? Greed? Or, is it something more sinister?

His conclusion is appropriate for the times, something wicked this way comes. And, with its global nature, there is no real way of escaping it. So, in my humble opinion, its not so much the location or the contents of your bug-out-bag, but it is where your heart is at and have you prepared inwardly for the coming chaos.

Think about it.

the day the divorce ruling was finally published in the gazette as final, yes that was a relief. the three years between the surprise of the first court papers arriving along with the monthly bank statements suddenly showing accounts drained to zero.. those were three stressful years.

Ray: Love your concept of the Sea Gypsy Tribe, but I probably missed my opportunity 20+ years ago. I am much too old and too tied down with family to even think about something so out of the box.

I never, ever thought AGW was a problem, other than the progs wanting me to help them pay for their scheme. I just don’t think man has that much affect on long term climate, short of a nuclear winter type scenario.

I have long held the belief that the politicians and other power that be will spend us into oblivion and we will see a breakdown of society when the EBT cards don’t get filled, or there is not enough on them to buy a quart of Colt 45.

Good winds and fair skies, my friend.
