Be your own bodyguard

The very skills, tactics, techniques, and procedures that keep presidents, heads of state and industry, military leaders, and other VIPs safe from assasination, kidnapping, and other trouble can help you be more prepared and more at peace, both now and in a post-disaster survival situation.

CAFFEINE

Limit your caffeine as much as possible so that you’ll be able to reach the deeper levels of sleep. Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours That means that if you have 200 mg of coffee at noon, approximately 100 mg will still be in your system at 6PM and 50 mg at midnight. Regardless of whether you think your body is immune to caffeine or not, it does negatively impact your sleep. Since sleep is one of the primary tools that the body uses to build and recharge the immune system, this can’t be over-emphasized. If you need lots of caffeine to function, it’s a warning sign of a sleep deficit. If you are able to go to sleep immediately after consuming caffeine, it’s most often an indication of exhaustion and/or a blood sugar issue, and the negative effect on deep sleep remains.

Read This First Before You Decide That Preppers Are Crazy

Solar Flares, Coronal Mass Ejections, And Electromagnetic Pulses

by David Morris on March 8, 2012

Welcome to the March 9th Urban Survival Newsletter, brought to you by the www.SurviveInPlace.com Urban Survival course…a 12 week course that will teach you practical and pragmatic strategies for preparing for breakdowns in civil order after disasters, regardless of where you live.

This week, we got a reminder of the fact that we’re in the middle of an upswing in solar activity. It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about solar flares, Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and Electromagnetic Pulses (EMPs), and I want to touch on them again today. You’re going to want to read today’s article so that you know what they are, and what you can do to prepare yourself for them. There’s a lot of talk about CMEs and EMPs, and most of it simply causes people to be unnecessarily scared.

I want to start off by saying that, while these threats have the ability to partially or completely destroy the power grid and immediately render some or all electronics completely destroyed, they shouldn’t cause you to worry or stay up at night. But, I’m getting ahead of myself…let me start of by explaining what EMPs and CMEs are. . .

"Modern preppers are much different from the survivalists of the old days," he said. "You could be living next door to a prepper and never even know it. Many suburbanites are turning spare rooms into food pantries and are going for survival training on the weekends."

Urban Survival Gardening After Disasters

Today, I want to introduce you to a proven strategy to feed hundreds, if not thousands or even millions of people after a breakdown in supply chains. This particular topic and the background story has fascinated me for some time, and I’m excited to get to share it with you today.

One of the most frightening aspects of a post disaster situation for me isn’t zombies, mutant bikers, or drug crazed home invaders swarming my neighborhood like locusts. Those storylines are frightening, dramatic, and make good climaxes in books and movies, but they’re not my greatest concern.

Don’t get me wrong, history teaches us that when resources are in limited supply and/or when the thin veneer of society gets torn, people turn to violence and crime in increasing numbers. But even in a society like Mogadishu, Somalia, violence—even daily violence in the rare cases when people are exposed to it that often—isn’t the main concern for most people. It’s something much more basic. It’s food.

USA HIGH RISK: There is the possibility of no electricity for 130 million Americans for a year or longer...

OilPrice.com

President and Congress. Warning events in 1859, 1921, 1989, and 2003 showed the danger that solar activity can pose to electrical power and distribution systems. Now as we
move into another solar maximum, with increased vulnerabilities built into our electrical grid, the danger again looms large. In the worst case, there is the possibility of no electricity for 130 million Americans for a year or longer. The warnings have been issued, but have gone unheeded.

PREPARE:

If you are big on taking vacations out of the country you may want to think twice before doing that again between now and 2013...

Buried under all of the Bin Laden distraction was the biggest news story yet . . . and it has gone completely unnoticed.

Click here for the Reuters story.

Treasury Secretary, Seditious Traitor and walking porcine anal sphincter Timothy Geithner announced (read DEMANDED) today that the U.S. debt limit be raised immediately by TWO TRILLION DOLLARS. Geithner indicated this will be the amount of additional debt taken on before the 2012 election - and the election was cited REPEATEDLY as a benchmark date. That's $125 Billion PER MONTH. What Geithner is saying is JUST RAISE THE CAP $2T now so we don't have to go through the charade of raising the cap quarterly, because we all know damn good and well that there really isn't a cap at all. The "cap" is just a Marxist linguistic manipulation designed to pacify the gullible thralls in the soon-to-be-exterminated bourgeoisie.

There's your QE3, kids. The GDP of the US when Obama usurped the Presidency was $14 Trillion. They have already printed $5T, with AT LEAST another $2T slated. That's $7T. They have debased the US Dollar by fully HALF of the GDP and will do it in less than FOUR YEARS. The Dollar Index is into new lows for the move and is hovering just above the huge 2008 lows at 0.7100. When the Dollar breaks those lows at 0.7100, and it could be any day now, that will be the lower G.I. effluvia hitting the high velocity rotors.

Time to stop worrying about fake pics of Bin Laden on the interwebs, kids. Your economy and way of life is about to be slaughtered and bled out on the altar of Marxist Totalitarianism.

Buy silver coins now. There has been a $10 per ounce pullback since Sunday night driven by the big banks in collusion with the futures exchanges. The exchanges DOUBLED the margin requirements on Monday, thus driving out all but the big players. Use this opportunity to buy physical coinage. I use www.Apmex.com , but there are several outfits on the internet that do a good job. Also buy emergency food if you haven't already, water, essential medications, spare eyeglasses, firearms, ammunition, batteries and whatever fuel you can safely store. Because when this collapse of the dollar happens, there will be nothing anyone can do to stop it. It will be the economic equivalent of trying to stop a tsunami.
