What’s the Plan, Stan?

Guest Post by Eric Peters

A useful measure of intelligence is future-time orientation – i.e., thinking about what might happen tomorrow (and next year) and taking steps to prepare for it.

In the past, this meant making sure you had enough firewood split in fall to last throughout the winter – in my neck of The Woods. Today, it means making sure you have everything you may need to last throughout what may prove to be a Dark Winter, the term given to what could happen in a couple of months from now – if the worst happens a couple of months from now.

The worst being legalized (well, “mandated”) lock-outs of the Unjabbed from commerce and life generally. Which will be worth enduring, since it may well save their lives – and not just from the danger of the Jabs.

By now, a reasonably bright ten-year-old ought to be able to grasp the methodology. That “masks” led to Jabs – and that general acceptance of the Jabs – now openly plural and ongoing, as this writer suggested was inevitable – will serve, if it comes to pass, as the Enabling Act conferring police powers upon doctors and other “health experts,” whom we will no longer merely ask about the latest drug but rather be told which drugs we’ll take. If we refuse – if we question – we will be diagnosed as sick – in the head – as was done in the old Soviet Union (as well as novels about authoritarian collectivism, such as Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World).

The “sick” will be sent off to hospital-prisons, where they will be “treated,” like it or not. The building blocks of this regime are already being laid, as in Australia. As in the state of Washington, where it has come to light that an “isolation and quarantine facility” is being built – and jobs listings for “strike team” members have been posted. This isn’t Alex Jonesian “conspiracy theory.” It is publicly established fact.

For the moment, no one is being forcibly “relocated” by these “strike teams” but the language is alarmingly suggestive – and so is the prior behavior of the various state and now federal Gesundheitsfuhrers, who are clearly bent on forcing compliance with their prescriptions.

It would be prudent to prepare for what’s next – while hoping it never comes and doing all we can to prevent it from coming.

If you are “locked out” from commerce – from your current job, from being able to shop at most stores – because you refuse to roll up your sleeve and present your “papers” – will you be able to provide the necessities for yourself and your family? Everyone – who isn’t willing to submit – is at risk from this threat and had better be thinking about it and what to do about it.

The risk can be greatly reduced by lessening your dependence on your current job – if it is one that may become conditional upon the rolling up of your sleeve – and by making yourself more independent of stores that won’t permit you to shop, absent Proof of Jab.

Many Americans are vulnerable – because they have bought into a lifestyle of debt-service that has made them dependent upon a high-paying job. They earn a lot, but it doesn’t accumulate, much – because of the endless expenses.

How to continue paying the mortgage on the expensive house without a high-paying job?

That is the trap, set carefully – many years ago. The very rich don’t have to work – which is what makes them independent. But one does not need to be very rich in order to not have to work for a corporate employer. To be at liberty to change jobs when a given job becomes unsatisfactory – or insufferable.

Live in a smaller house, in a more affordable area and suddenly, you are rich – in terms of the freedom you now have, to say no.

To do something else.

Many people have been quietly doing this over the course of the past year or so. There has been a mass exodus of people away from the “hot spots” – of medical and financial  tyranny (in the form of usurious taxes, including property taxes) and toward areas of the country where one can live freer, for less – and often, better.

The best scenario of all being home ownership – to the extent such is possible in a country that perpetually taxes things even after they have been paid for in full. Even so, to not have a monthly mortgage on a 1,500 square foot home will liberate you from the chains around your neck that come with the $1,500 per month mortgage payments on a 3,200 square foot home. If you own your home, they don’t own you. Even given the obnoxious taxes on what you own, which are far less than a mortgage payment – especially when not in addition to them.

Most property taxes can be paid for via part-time work.

If you don’t own your car, get one you do own.

By selling the one you don’t.

The market for used cars is bubblicious right now. Cash in – and pay off. Use what you have to buy what you can afford. Now you can afford to say no to any boss who tells you to Jab. Is having a touchscreen in your car worth being enserfed?

Take your kids out of government schools – which you’ll be able to do now, because you can easily live on one income rather than two. Now they don’t own your kids. No more “masks” – and never a Jab.

If you buy a home away from the hot spots, you will likely own some land along with it. Even if it’s only half an acre, that’s enough to have a garden and perhaps some poultry, to provide eggs, ongoing – greatly reducing your food dependence. You will also connect with people of like mind, build refusenik networks of people who have – like you – cut the ties that bind and who are thus much less vulnerable to being “locked out” of that which they have already kicked to the curb.

We can do this. Provided we stop playing by their rules.

This is an important article, heed Eric’s warning. This is not a play around commie incursion. Be prepared like a good boy scout with supplies, amigos and the three G’s can’t hurt. (gold, guns and a get away plan).

I agree that if you refuse to take mandated vaxxes or drugs, you will eventually end up in a holding center, quarantine camp or mental hospital (which is why they emptied out the mental facilities years ago ). Phyzz gold will buy you medical help if you are in extreme need outside the system. You can’t stockpile enough food and daily needs products. Don’t make the mistake of fluffing this off, totalitarian oppression requires extreme front running .

That post should be listed in FRIDAY FAIL. Stucky I don’t hold out much hope for you in the SHTF event going forward. You might as well defect now and be with the overlords and wait til they shoot their minions/you. This is serious, no time for jocularity. Do you have any provisions at all?

Setting aside the Nazis, could you bury yourself in the house for a long stretch without leaving or contact with the outside world when they loose Marburg??

Did you ever see the youtubes of mark dice offering people their choice between a ten ounce silver bar and a chocolat bar?

Hint: most took the chocolat because they dont understand the value of silver. Something to be considered going forward.

In the beginning of the coming planned chaos bullets and food will be the only money. Later the PM’s will buy plenty. Bullets will get you food when food is scarce but food won’t get you bullets when the shooting is still going on.

Current limits are $1000 for a truck, $500 for a car.
YMMV.
Learn about them, like you learn about the things you enjoy.
Buy (wisely) and maintain several (yourself).
Place them conveniently close to bugout spots (airfield where you maintain a light aircraft if you fly, separate marinas where you maintain boats),
Shuffle frequently. Not only to keep them nondescript, but a machine not run fails.
A light aircraft allows bugout sans overland routes, as does a boat. You can also bivouac in your hangar or boat in a marina.
Each vehicle is a tool. Trucks are for materiel transport, and can be a mobile bugout spot in a pinch.
Never buy anything you can’t throw away in 30 seconds or less.
When you are done with it or if you have to discard it, destroy or at least disable it.
You don’t have to burn it or blow it up; pouring find sand in the oil and giving it some overrev time will brick it.
Register all to different corporations not listing you as an officer.
Assets (ordnance, metals, food) should never be concentrated in one spot.
Analogous to all your eggs in one basket.
Be able to retreat to another functionally stocked redoubt.
The loss of any one does not cripple your abilities.
Ordnance and ammunition should be comprised of commonly used LEO rounds.
9mm, 10mm, 40 cal. 5.56NATO, 12 ga.
These are what will be carried by your dance partners, should you choose to dance.
This means your dance partner will have a sufficiently usable loadout should you desire to relieve him/her of the burden. You bought everything for your dance partner with your tax dollars, so it really is yours.
If you’re a cheek to cheek dancer, don’t forget the maxi tampons.
These were originally invented by the French to plug gunshot wounds, and still excel today for that purpose.
They might save your life long enough to get to the nearest friendly vet.

So there’s some starter advice if you want to play insurgent, or just get set up to play.
It’s a serious game that you rarely get to quit in the middle.
That being said, when the game starts in earnest, you won’t get to decide if you want to play, the only choice will be which team (and there are usually more than 2).

Enjoy!

Stucky – You don’t necessarily need moar guns, unless you want to use them for bartering. Everyone should have a shotgun, pistol and rifle (bigger than a .22, but a .22 is good to have for small game hunting). What you will always need is moar ammo for the guns you have. Ammo will have significant value in the near future and will be more tradable than gold/silver initially.

So… This is a social engineering push to reduce one’s consumption one way or another… Either keep believing in the official global warming narrative, eat bugs and be happy, or willingly relocate in the middle of nowhere, lose your salary and basically start a small farm in order to survive. And we have built the civilization in order to end up like this? Isn’t the 21st century awesome?

The only things we worry about are the ability to buy gas/diesel, spare parts for equipment, and the the few food items we can’t produce ourselves. If we were unable to go to grocery stores, we could adjust to that. If we can’t buy fuel or parts, everything we own will eventually stop working, regardless of how much stuff we warehouse. Oh, and if they freeze our financial accounts, we’re also screwed. So even though we consider ourselves pretty independent because we live off grid, provide our own food and water, have no debt, and have a nice septic system, it would still be pretty easy to control us to some extent.

It’s true that precious metals can be part of the solution, but it just doesn’t seem reasonable to convert your entire liquid net worth to precious metals and try to function in society completely outside the financial system. We may be fooling ourselves and it may come to that. On a different note, we don’t even have a phone. We use email and if we absolutely need to make a call we use Google Voice. (I know, it’s Google, but it is free and effective). It’s getting harder and harder to function in society without a smart phone, let alone without a phone number. That really confuses financial institutions, medical offices, contractors, government agencies, etc.

I suspect it will be two cryptos in one. In Nam there were Vietnamese piasters and military scrip. The locals were stuck with P’s that were not worth much while the real economy used scrip which could be purchased on the blackmarket, at a premium to P’s ranging from 20% to 60%.
There will most likely be a crypto for international trade and a greatly devalued(debauched) local coin of the realm crypto. For the Soviet block it was Rubles and Greenbacks.
