Getting Ready for Just in Case

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Some of of you have probably seen and listened to the speech given by the character V in the wonderfully inspirational movie, V For Vendetta – which bears re-watching if you haven’t lately and is a must-view if you’ve never seen it at all.

The speech – given over government-censored airwaves pirated by the character, V – talks about how people gave in to fear – of sickness, ironically enough. And turned over power to an authoritarian government – or rather, submitted to it – out of desperation for a return to some semblance of calm and normalcy.

One of the specific things V touched on was the perfectly natural desire most of us have for the familiar things, the everyday routines and places – and how this can be used against us by psychopathic political types to leverage our submission. No one wants to put their life’s work in jeopardy, much less their family’s security. People cherish their friends and community; they love their homes.

It is very difficult to say good-by to these things.

But sometimes, it is the only thing to do.

I learned this, like many others have learned it, when I was excommunicated from the little coffee shop that had been part of my daily routine for several years. I enjoyed spending a few hours in my usual spot, having some coffee and writing among the ebb and flow of people I had gotten to know over the years. It was a pleasant part of my life that became very unpleasant when the owners joined the Sickness Cult and insisted that patrons play Sickness Kabuki if they wanted to buy a cup of coffee. Since I would not join the cult, I was cast out.

I have also said good-bye to a number of people I once considered close friends of mine. I learned, to my great sadness, that they were not. Friends do not demand that you practice their religion – nor denounce you for failing to do so. These people did and so I call them friends no longer.

Another change may be coming – for me and possibly for you, too. I think it is wise to anticipate it.

What will you do if the gesundheitsfuhrer of the state you live in decrees that alles muss impfung (everyone must be “vaccinated”)? Not only those who – per the decree of the current Obergesundheitsfuhrer in the Haupstadt der Krankenreich – work for companies that employ 100 people or more or who transact any business, however peripheral, with the regierung in Washington – but everyone, period. To be permitted to enter any store in the state you live in. To be allowed to work, anywhere.

Even if you work for yourself.

As crazy as this sounds, keep in mind how crazy things already are. The Sickness Cult isn’t going to just disband. It must spread the faith. In this way, interestingly enough, it is very much like the virus-god it worships. Stagnation is death. It cannot abide unbelief for the simple reason that abiding it will result in unbelief. Some will see – and leave the cult. Other will never join it. Which is why all must be compelled to join it.

For that will make it very difficult for anyone to leave it.

My state – Virginia – will select a new gesundheitsfuhrer in about a month from now. The current one has been pretty bad. The new one – very likely to be the Clinton apparatchik Terry McAuliffe – could prove to be much worse. He spoke the other day of getting everyone in the state “vaccinated.” Read more about his “plan” here.

This makes me extremely uneasy.

It motivates me to get ready.

To put my place on the market, if need be – so as to leave what I love and have spent almost 20 years of my life building and caring for and making my own – for some other place, where I can at least live without being needled by people like McAuliffe.

This would be a very hard thing for me to do, attached as I am to my place – and I pray I do not have to do it. I have no desire to uproot my life – and say goodbye to the few old friends I still have and the new friends I have made – much less to have to start over, in a new place. But all of that is preferable to living in a state controlled by a cult.

A death cult.

Literally – in terms of forcing people to assume the risk of dying or a life-ending crippling as a result of being Jabbed with a “vaccine” that has already caused the deaths of thousands. I do not intend to be one of these. And also metaphorically, in terms of the death of liberty at its most basic level. If a person cannot protect his own body from the grasping tentacles of government – or rather, if the government will no longer respect the right of a human being to control and decide what is put into his or her own body – then the time has come to fight – or to leave.

It is impossible to say, at this moment, which of the two options will become the only option. But I am preparing for both options. As regards the second option, by getting my place in order so that if I need to leave, I can sell.

Without losing my shirt.

This is sound policy in normal times – as regards your home as well as your vehicles. Keep them in good order and they won’t become disordered. And by doing that, you won’t be faced – in a crisis situation – with having to try to bring them back to good order in a rush and probably at great expense, so as to not lose your shirt. It is easier – and in the long run, cheaper – to take good care of anything you might need to sell one day.

Because that day may come.

Even if you don’t want to sell. Best to prepare for that possibility. Because who knows what’s coming, a month or so from now.

So if one is to sell and leave, where are the “best” places to go? Inside the USA and/or outside the USA? I have wondered where I might go also, but prefer to stay un the US for many reasons. Maybe Ohio Amish country and try to blend in? Any thoughts?

Yes! Go to the Ozarks! No matter what, you definitely want to stay away from Carolina! Don’t be fooled by the low taxes, the high value placed on patriotism and liberty, the pride-in-place, the sense of history, or the state-wide gun culture. Pay no attention to the smoking hot Carolina Girls, either. All smoke and mirrors.

South Carolina is a terrible country, populated by vipers, gators, feral hogs, man-eating sharks, coyotes, mosquitoes, sand fleas, ticks, poison ivy, fire ants and chiggers; rocked by earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes; suffering long hot, humid summers, and ice storm winters; chocked to the gills full of weak-ass, limp-wristed, carpetbagging, rude, maskhole wearing liberal Yankees from “off”, sashaying down the Battery like they own the place, bad-mouthing their country, bitching about the South, and just begging for another ass-whipping.

Head west to the Ozarks.

I second that but would remind those headed for Oklahoma about that wind that comes rushing on the plain. There are times of year when the wind gusts are relentless, causing extreme fire danger in the summer and fall and terrible ice storms in the winter. Otherwise, Oklahoma is OKAY!

What kind of victory could you imagine? A military victory? What if, by some miracle, that could be pulled off? (Leaving aside the fact that the Bible says it cannot be pulled off.)

What would that buy us? In 50 years’ time we’d be right back where we are today. The enemy is within. Not within the gates of the city or the halls of government…

…the enemy is IN mankind.

If today you exterminated every leftist/communist on the planet, more would still arise to take their place.

Why? Because men have not rightly understood the enemy. Bar your windows and lock your doors — to no avail. The Enemy is still inside.

The only solution is to get to the other side of this thing. Not to forestall or postpone it. What is coming is the inevitable consequence of man’s rebellion against God’s Law. And it is nothing else besides.

IMO nowhere in the USA or Canada. The tyrants will not allow anyone to be outside the fence here.

I had been set up for a South America move but Covid screwed all those plans. Where I was heading (and my alternate destinations) now requires all kinds of bowing to Covid stupidity to enter the country.

I am not sure there is anywhere you can get to from North America without performing the Covid rituals. It may already be too late to flee.

Even if you have the correct papers to enter New Zealand, you still have to apply for an opening in a quarantine facility (i.e. a designated hotel), where you will remain at your expense for ten days, having tested negative for Covid on both entering and exiting quarantine. And currently, there are no quarantine openings available.

Another reason to avoid New Zealand.

A good place to disappear off the face of the Earth, dozens of miles off any main road, can be found in Appalachia. Eastern Kentucky, Southern Ohio, and West Virginia are all candidates. The winters can be cold, and the summers real hot, but for the most part it’s a beautiful place. Isolated property is affordable, and no one from the Democrat Shithole states would ever want to move here.

Also in Virginia and also prepping house for sale. Same reason (mostly). Also have noted severe degradation of behaviour of new residents of local environs. This is not a good place to retire to. It would have been when we moved here 30 years ago.

We will be taking our wealth, skills, earning power and taxable incomes, and pro-western cultural outlooks and moving them somewhere they are appreciated.

Fuck you, commies.

Wait till spring. This problems looks like its about to fix its self. Dead people may be able to vote, but they don’t complain about vaxx status when “death” has proven 100 % effective against covid. By March we will all know just how bad these shots really are. Everyone still alive that is.

Recall too that in “V for Vendetta” the authoritarian regime also rode into power saddled to a virus and “cure” for.

Your plan presupposes that the Satanic minions are inclined to allow vaccine-free sanctuary zones. I think not.

We resist (peacefully) and resist them, or at some point will be strapped down and jabbed. We may be coming to the point that we’ll have to put on “V” masks and march en masse.

I suggested that several years ago. IIRC I was told that he was never going to leave and that staying and fighting was the ONLY option as leaving was for cowards or such and he would not leave the life he has. Something about there was nowhere to go as well.

Eric is OK sometimes but often arrogant. It often seems he think he is the only one who KNOWS what the right path is, until he changes his mind and then that is the right path, and has been all along. Unfortunately, I think he spends a little too much time in his epautos echo chamber.

Even if he has now come around to fleeing, he has probably left it too late. I would be interested in where he thinks he could go to escape. Guessing the places I suggested are no longer an option.

Funny that this article is just starting to scratch the surface of what I told him was coming several years back, yet was basically told off for suggesting he run sooner than later.

Meh. His problem to sort out.

A month or so. I figured around nov 15. Winter will have set in by then making migration more difficult, combined with looming food and fuel shortages. It will be complete by march 30th or there abouts. Make your peace. If you intend to run, best get packing.

So you’re waiting for STHF before selling? You think that’s wise? Sounds like you know what’s coming, why not go ahead and get it done? It is very difficult to leave behind routine, comfort, and familiarity…but necessary. You are going to need time to build new relationships and community….might as well get a move on it now.

Too late to sell. The news will come fast and then where will you go? I rent and will be ready to leave in about 6-8 hours.

Where will I go? Place I have been preparing in the mountains in flyover country for the past 27 years. There I’ll make my stand with the people who also are like minded and I have known them for years.

I do a trial run every year and stay out there for a month. 2,000 mile trip. I’ll be out there for the month of October an will be watching “The Show” from there. If the s**t hits the fan, I may have to stay.

It is downright scary. The things going on in our Country with the COVID CULT are the same things that happened in Nazi Germany!!! Very frightening.

So true. SW Virginia is conservative country, but is ruled by the north virginia fuckers. What are you gonna do? Prepare for where you are now. Just got back from a bugout in NH and Maine. Long trip. Would love to go back there some day (and visit friends and hsf). Back in SW Virginia. This is where I make my stand. I can’t bugout 14 hours away where I can’t have heat for more than 3 weeks in the frigid winter. Do what you gotta do man. Hsf, your offer for my son in Mass. is more than special man if the shtf.
