Ambush!

It was foggy and rainy. The men lay on either side of the road waiting for the looters. The man had goteen two more men to join them. Their ambush party was now six. the plan was to take out the looters with the heavier weapons first then get the rest. No prisoners were to be taken. Two hours after laying in the wet grass they heard the sound of footsteps and horses. Hopefully none of the horses would be killed but it was improbable. As the looters came into view it was clear some of them were women. When the gang got inside of the kill zone the man blew a whistle and they opened fire from one side of the road. Half the looters went down the other half started firing at the sound of the shots coming at them. When they did this the other three ambushers started shooting from the other side of the road. They managed to bring down five more of the looters. The remaining four dropped their weapons and put their hands up. They were shot immediately. No prisoners. The mans reasoning was they were looters and that they would have to be shot anyway why go through some form of trial. The good thing was only two of the six horse were killed. They stripped the bodies of anything useful and buried them in a shallow grave. The body count was 13. This left potentially 7-12 looters from the gang alive. A guard would have to be posted along potential routes that they might come from to if they chose to seek revenge.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protectsavings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabbysecret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spendingis simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in theway of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of propertyrights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding thestatists' antagonism toward the gold standard."
-Alan Greenspan

Prophecy or Current Events?

I was talking to a Christian friend of mine yesterday. We got into a discussion of the Bible. Doing the usual scripture references. When we got onto the books of Daniel and Revelations I said you know the book of Revelation used to be prophecy now its current events. Of course its still prophecy but the things in it are coming true. The national ID, one currency, one world government etc.

Woulda Shoulda Coulda

The man wished he had bought that Interceptor body armor he had seen at the swap meet last year. It was used and from the Iraq war but it was better than nothing. That and a standard IIIA vest would have been great. But it was $300.00 then and there was no money to spend at the time for something like that. The couple had made it to his fathers home and were glad to be off the road. Things were relatively peaceful except now there were some looters who were taking advantage of the local Amish population. Being pacifists they were an easy target for such scum. The Amish contrary to popular belief did own firearms, mostly shotguns, for hunting. They would not kill a human being though. The Amish would be good trading partners. They were already liveing in the 19th century when the collapse hit. He could only find 3 other men to help defend the Amish. There were about 20-25 looters roaming the tri-state area. They were mostly on horseback, stolen from the Amish. An ambush was the most likely strategy. They seemed to be armed with an assortment of shotguns and rifles with a couple of AR-15's and the odd SKS. It would be dangerous. So far the looters had not killed any Amish but it was sure that they were not above killing. They had to have done so to have survived on the road for so long. An ambush site away from the victims of their looting was best as to avoid reprisals.

Quote Of The Day

"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a morecontrolled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite,unrestrained by traditional values."Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillanceover every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containingeven the most personal information about the citizen. These files willbe subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."

Quote Of The Day

"Of course, members of the dynastic banking families had been financing the Russian-oriented revolutionists for many years. Trotsky, in his biography, refers to some of these loans from British financiers going back as far as 1907. By 1917 the major subsidies for the revolution were being arranged by Sir George Buchanan and Lord Alfred Milner (of the Morgan-Rothschild-Rhodes confederacy). Milner, it will be recalled, was the founder of England’s secret “Round Table” group which started the Royal Institute for International Affairs in England and the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States. One American source gave Trotsky, Lenin and the other Communist leaders around twenty million dollars for the final triumph of Bolshevism in Russia. This was Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb and Company."
-W. Cleon Skousen

The Road

It was a rainy night as the two people moved in the shadows trying not to be seen by any potential watchers. They had been on foot since Ansonia. Night time was a better travel time when you are on foot. You have a better chance of avoiding anyone that way. Since the collapse you could trust very few people except family and very close friends. The most benign looking farmhouse could contain some very desperate people willing to kill you for the contents of your pockets. Not to mention the roving gangs of looters. For a woman to be captured usually meant rape, enslavement and death when your usefulness was gone. For a man to be captured was death or totrure. The thin veneer of civilization had been completely erased when the money became worthless and the supplies ran out in the cities.

As dawn approached the man spied the old barn for an hour through his binoculars. He and his wife were exhausted. The barn would be a good out of the way place to hole up for the day. After an hour he cautiously approached the barn. It was indeed empty and it looked like no one had been around it for ages. After getting his wife into the barn they changed into some dry clothes and split an MRE and a cup of Ramen noodles. He would take the first watch until noon. As she slept he dried the weapons they had and hung out the wet clothes. Nothing was moving out in the countryside. It was a virtual no-mans land. If you had a home or place to go you were in it. They were on their way to the mans fathers house in northern Ohio. Their car ran out of gas just north of Ansonia, Ohio. They were now just outside of Saint Mary's, Ohio. They had decided against traveling on the I-75 corridor. The population density along the highway was just to high. Once they reached his fathers home they would be relatively safe. He lived in Williams County Ohio. It was a very rural county with a small population. Around noon the rain stopped and he woke up his wife to let her take watch. He was asleep in very short order. His wife got some items in order for their dinner and thought of how well off they were in comparison to other people. She knew little of her husbands preps. He ahd managed to squirrel away equipment for himself and her. She knew he had been buying army surplus items but she didn't know that he had been buying things for her as well. He had a pair of good waterproof combat boots and BDU's for her as well as an ALICE pack, sleep system, rain gear, canteens and every other item you need to live off the land. She had never wanted to hear about his "doom and gloom" theories. Now they had come true and she was glad he ignored her and went about his preparing whithout worrying her with the potentialites of the myriad of disasters that could happen. At 5pm she woke him and they had dinner and prepared for that nights journey. They would give the city of St. Mary's a wide berth and stick to country roads. If they kept making good progress they would be at his fathers in a week. Well before the truly cold weather hit.

Lucasville

Went to the Lucasville (Ohio) swap meet on Sunday. Lot of guns for sale. Mostly shotguns but there were a few handguns. Saw 1 Gold Cup for $1,000.00. That was a good deal. Saw 2 AR's that were overpriced. One was a no-name brand and the guy wanted $900.00. A lot of livestock for sale and cast iron cookery. This swap meet occurs 4 times a year and I usually kind find the odd deal on web gear or ammo or reloading supplies. It reminds me of what will probably be a common occurance in the near future. It also reminds me of the Bater-Faire section of Rawles novel. Where else can you go buy a chicken, axe, .44 MAG brass, and a pair of shoes?

Quotes Of The Day

"It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men. "

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me.They have, taking one with another, no special talentfor the business of government;they have only a talent for getting and holding office."
-H.L. Menken

Mindset

How far will you go to ensure your and your familes survival? In a dog eat dog world. What will you do. I have thought long and hard on this. I have read "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse". I would like to think I would behave in the same way as the characters in the book but I doubt it. I would not go out of my way to hurt anyone or make it part of my normal MO. If it came down to me survivng or some other family I guess they are in trouble. That is the brutal truth. I guess thats why you should make every effort to be prepared as much as possible so you never face that situation.

-Davy Crockett

Are People Worried?

I'm not scared. I'm not neccessarily worried. But are other people. I still hear people at work talking about "when things get better next year..." (I work for a building materials supplier). I have to stop them and say "we'll be lucky if we have a job next year". Its like they have no conception of whats really going on or they are in total denial. Thats what makes survivalists different from the sheeple/lemming that surround us. We see whats going on and try to prepare for it. Others bury their heads and hope for the best. I'm not scared or worried because I have made some preps. for different eventualities. I know that I have a set of skills that will get me through. I have a mindset that will give me an edge. I don't have a mindset that will paralyze me when TSHTF. I don't know if we should even try bothering warning people. It would be a waste of breath.

The Bug Out Bag/Pack

I have a couple of BOB's. One is a medium ALICE pack and the main BOB is a large ALICE with frame. I think that the large is more useful because it carries far more than the medium. I reserve the medium for the wife. I also recently got a MOLLE pack with frame and the entire sleep system from a friend. He said he'd never use it. The MOLLE is a nice "codura" pack but it holds less than my large ALICE. The other fault with the MOLLE is that the frame is plastic. Plastic will break. The large ALICE frame is aluminum. It might bend but it won't break. I try to include items to meet every eventuality (dependent on season).



1 large ALICE pack with frame
1 US army sleep system (attached to pack)
2 pair BDU pants
1 BDU shirt
5 pair undies
5 pair cushion sole socks
3 pair brown or o.d. t shirts
1 pair tennis shoes (for in camp activity)
1 old style (wooden handle) entrenching tool w/ knife
1 2 qt canteen (attached to outside of pack)
4 MRE's
1 frog gig
1 collapsable fishing pole
1 assortment of hooks and weights
1 assortment of USGS maps for area of operations
1 notebook and 1 pen and pencil each
2 boxes trioxane bars
1 package of bullion cubes
2 bandoliers of .223 ammo 100 rounds, mixed
1 angle head flashlight
1 package extra batteries for flashlight
1 small portable radio
1 shelter half or poncho
1 small Bible
1 copy US army survival manual
100 feet of para-cord
6 screw in treesteps
1 small compass
1 pair of gaiters
1 hygiene bag (toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, odorless soap, moist towlette, small roll toilet
paper, disposable razor (3))
1 pint of vodka or whiskey (medicinal or barter use)
4 packs cigarettes (barter use)
1 box waterproof matches
1 sewing kit
1 extra multi-tool
1 spool of snare wire
1 4x8 pc. camo netting
1 roll heavy duty duct tape
4 22" bungees
1 Brillo pad (gets trioxane off your cooker)
1 can opener
1 bottle of foot powder
4 empty sandbags (you can put these over your boots when you are in your sleeping bag)
1 set rain gear

In winter time add
2 pair thermal underwear
3 pair wool socks
1 wool or fleece cap
1 pair extra winter gloves
1 space blanket

Preps.

Well just put in an order for a couple cases of MRE's in case we have to beat feet in the dark of night. A friend at work just bought a Dillon RL650. I will help him set it up so he can get out some ammo. I think what we are seeing now is what they call a "quickening". Things are speeding faster and faster toward the collapse of society. Now they are planning on using troops fresh from Iraq to police us in case of whatever. I feel sorry for those guys if they decide not to follow the Constitution. I know guys who can hit flies at 100 yards. Iraq will look like a playground compared to here.

The Failure Of Representative Government

Yesterday the turkies voted for the bankster welfare bill. Of course it was loaded with pork. Including new police state measures. I guess these DC goons think we will lay down for this. Oh who am I kidding we probably will. I for one will not be voting for our local rep. who is up for re-election this year. She's running against a liberal democrat. I won't for for her so I just won't make a mark in that box. I told the rep. in a email "vote for this bailout and I won't vote for you". I like to think I keep my word so....


I saw a clip on Infowars.com yesterday. It was Lyndon Larouche commenting on all this. I always got a kick out of LaRouche. I like it when people stir the pot. Here it is.

I guess prepping really starts now. Rawles said to get out of the market when it rallies because the rally won't last. I have alittle over $7,000.00 in stock outside of my 401k. I'm thinking of selling off all but $1,000.00 of that and using it to get some tangibles. I am really in need of some medical supplies. I have been stocking up on some food but still could use some MRE's in case form. I have a reloader but very little in the way of primers and powder. Fortunately the grandparents left me a bunch of silver dimes and quarters. Not enough for any major bartering but enough to get by. I'm pretty well squared away on guns. I'm even squared away on medi-evel weapons. 4 compound bows, 1 recurve, 2 longbows. Hell I even have a samurai sword for dealing with local officials who don't "do the right thing" lol. Right now gas is pretty cheap here 3.20-3.49 a gallon. So I guess some more 5 gal. cans are in order as a backup. To Paraphrase General Eisenhower's D-Day message:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms onother Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the NWO warmachine, the elimination of Globalist tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the world, and security for ourselves in a free world.Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, wellequipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.But this is the year 2008! Much has happened since the NWO triumphs of1993 and 2001. The United Nations have inflicted upon the world great defeats,in open battle, man-to-man. Our information offensive has seriously reduced their strength in propaganda and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our HomeFronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together toVictory!I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill inbattle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this greatand noble undertaking.

Marital Troubles In Survival Paradise

I've read a couple of blogs lately where the Blogger is having some trouble with the wife. Especially in the survival/preps are. I know from my own life most women don't want to think/hear/see/know anything about where the world/country is heading. I don't know why. Thats just how they are wired. My wife seems to think that it would be horrible for the world to come crashing down. For some reason I don't. In fact I think it would be bad for most but those of us who are prepared we might be better off. No more 9 to 5. No more traffic. No more taxes. No more thug police. A tough life but a fulfilling life.

I think the best way to go is to quietly prepare. Leave her out of it if she does not want to know the why's.

Quote Of The Day

"When the President signs this act [Federal Reserve Act of 1913], the invisible government by the money power—proven to exist by the Monetary Trust Investigation—will be legalized. The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on, depressions will be scientifically created."
-Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr.

Survival Sugar?

I'm thinking about trying Maple surgar/syrup making. I have a lot of Maple trees on the property. I have been reading a book written by Scott and Helen Nearing (noted socialists/communists). They moved to a rural farm in the 30's and made a partial living by making Maple syrup and sugar. I know nothing about doing it so it will be a great experiment. When the SHTF then syrup/sugar will be a welcome barter product. Not to mention for your own use.

Quotes Of The Day

"NAFTA represents the single most creative step towards a New World Order."


"It cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions."

"The illegal we do immediately.The unconstitutionaltakes a little longer."


"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."

-Henry Kissinger (This asshole ran the 9/11 commission. You still think we got the truth?)
