Hi, this is Ken again..
 
1.1 
Due to numerous alternative news sources, and occasionally the main stream media, I have come to the conclusion that the sky is falling. ;)
 
In actuality, it is my belief that the USA now has more enemies than ever, the bankers and most politicians are totally corrupt, and there is absolute looting taking place in the financial sector. September 2008, Americans lost 45-55% of the value in their pensions. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Federal and Local pensions, and every single financial institution (including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc) is under fire. It's no secret what's going on either, as they are doing it right in front of your face. Even the FDIC admitted that after the Colonial Bank collapse (http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html), they are now in negative capital reserves. The FDIC is now broke, they do not have $250,000 for every account holder in the US, that is a lie. Denial of these facts is leading you down a very dangerous road. Forget the Treasury, they're broke too, and in cahoots with the rest of them.
 
Over the last three years, I have researched the history of this coming catastrophe. Rockefeller, Rothschild, Illuminati, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, WTO, WHO, CDC, the so called "Federal" Reserve, IMF, BIS, World Banc, etc. I could go on and on, but the list of corrupt individuals and institutions as you can imagine has literally exploded, in the last 5 years especially. 
 
If you are even remotely interested in waking up to what IS REALLY going on in the world, I suggest spending some time and watching these videos, in the order I have them listed.

Now that you know what is coming, you are better able to prepare for it. You are better able to make investment decisions (not paper investments either). 
 
I studied for literally a year and a half straight. By that point, I had heard and seen enough. I couldn't take it anymore and it was starting to drag my moods down and turn me into a "the sky is falling!!" personality type. There's a lot of people out there who still think I am somewhat nutty, a conspiracy theorist, a radical extremist, whatever in the hell you want to call me, I am just an average guy who has woken up to all this sh*t, and am not happy about it.
 
1.3
So, a year and a half ago I decided to do something about it. I attended protests, voted for Ron Paul, contacted my Legislators, setup a website that attempted to awaken others, made flyers, etc. Ok, none of that worked. This country is still on the same downward spiral, and now a bunch of people think I am a whack job. So be it. I wish somebody would get rid of those that are corrupt (see above). Damn I hate the monetary system.
 
I cannot deny what is going on. I know the real history of it, I know what their plans are, I know what they want to do to us, I know roughly when they plan to carry each step of it out. You can too if you even somewhat follow some of these news sites..
 
Use the Google Reader online to read these news sites (via RSS) all in one place:
 
1.4
Ok, now, knowing that they plan on crashing our dollar and ushering in a new currency, giving us mandatory toxic flu vaccinations (designed to ultimately kill you), blowing up cities as their excuse to invade further, taking away our retirement (yes, that means perpetual slavery), tazing old ladies for not using their turn signal (they call it "pain compliance"), dumbing down our educational system (so you won't ask questions), making ammo impossible to acquire (yes, even for home defense), oh my frign god, do you see where I'm going with this? 
 
It's time to hope for the best of course, but prepare for the worst. 
 
Don't let Fox News and CNBC convince you that everything is going to be fine.. just keep buying things, watch your football and american idol, play with your new cellphone, watch the tv's in your car, stay hip to the latest fashions, drink that beer and eat yourself fatter, blah blah blah... F!!&$#@*%&#^!!
 
Preparing for the worst is actually a lot easier than you think. It means:
 
  1. Treat Love, friendships, sustainability, security and community in the highest regard. (build your network now, get to know your neighbors, volunteer, meet with others that are awake (figure out who has what items/skills, etc))
  2. Always spend your money on things that will make you "money" (education that is, sustaining you, life currency). Doo-dads won't help you.
  3. Retire as soon as possible. In this world, we have to use a fiat currency, but make it work for you, so you no longer have to work for it.
  4. Treat investing like it's a bill that HAS to be paid every month, or else (your life depends on it).
 
1.5
Knowing that we are entering a 10+ year GLOBAL depression this time, you are going to need some things. You won't be able to run over to BK for a burger, and you won't be able to go to the store for a gallon of milk. Those businesses will be closed, and looted within a couple of hours. During Katrina, even the police are looting the local walmart for food and supplies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHcajIRcBvA), it was total chaos, and that was just a hurricane. 
 
The first decent sized crash was in late September 2008. Have you noticed the recent "flash crashes"? Uh huh, they're gearing up. Your income and paper assets will be seized and banks closed. No Social Security, no Medicare, no Medicaid, no Pension, no Dividends, no Safe Deposit Box, no Bank Account, no power or water. Then? Civil unrest, martial law, ATM's emptied, all stores looted within a couple hours. 

History repeats itself, exit your denial stage, and start preparing, this is it. 
 
I have compiled a useful list of things that you will want to have on hand, for yourself, and for those you intend to care for and/or barter with once the collapse has really begun. I have prioritized this list, so try to start as close to the top as you can. 
 
Spend all your cash on these items RIGHT NOW. Empty your bank, 401K and investment accounts. The chaos above will come "like a thief in the night" so you have to do your preparations NOW:
 
  1. Food supplies 
  2.  
    • Storable cases of food (15+ year shelf life). Have as close to 7 years worth as you can afford, for each person. http://www.ReadyReserveFoods.com http://www.efoodsdirect.com  Canned goods are ok, but they only keep for a couple of years, in ideal conditions. Buy the long-term storable cases of food instead. And, don't ever dip into your supply!
    • MRE's - Military rations, cases of ready to eat meals, 12 meals per case. Cases of MRE's can be bought at your local army/navy surplus store, or ordered online.
    • Fruit trees - Very easy to grow, and they'll produce more food than what you can eat, giving you more to barter with. 
    • Gardening - Know how to grow vegetables? Eat it, or barter for other things with it (doesn't a bottle of wine sound good?).
    • Pet food, kitty litter, etc. Seal the pet food in those huge plastic screw-top pretzel things, or large tupperware 5gal buckets, etc.
  3. Water 
  4.  
    • Rain collection: Buy/install rain gutters
    • Cistern: Route gutters to cistern (available at Tractor Supply). Minimum 65 gallons. Mount it as high up as possible so gravity gives you some water pressure (water weighs almost 8.5Lbs per gallon). Connect pvc piping to cistern, so that you can water plants, get water via hose connection, etc. Use your imagination.
    • Hand pump on well head: When it's not raining, and you have no power to run your well pump, and your bankrupt city has shutoff the water, you need to get water somehow. Installing a simple hand pump at the well head is a great solution. 
    • Gravity-fed Purification: Buy a Berkey at http://www.berkeywater.com and two extra sets of black filters.
    1. Shelter - Living in a house with even a tiny yard will suffice. Apartment renters will have a harder time. If you are worried about paying your rent or mortgage, don't sweat that. Pay for as long as you are able, but by the time you are no longer able to pay, there won't be any jobs, or collecting banks anyway. Nobody else will be paying either. Everyone will be concerned with survival, not collecting your payment (dollars will be useless). Enforcement actions won't exist, as police and military (yes, martial law is here) are busy doing other things. As of this writing, you have thousands of people all over the country living in their foreclosed home for over 2 years now. The banks don't want your house back on their books, as it will force them to mark it to market and take/show a huge loss on it (which they obviously can't afford).
    2. Sewer - If there is an NBC attack (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical), you will need to hunker down for at least 80 days (as per military spec; i am a gulf war vet). This means you will need to stay sealed indoors. You've got your food and water piped in and ready to go, now, where do you poop? Army/Navy surplus stores sell small portable toilets (they use a trash bag in the bottom).
    3. Security - Guns and ammo, martial arts. You have to be ready to protect what you have. Go to the local gun range with your friends and family and get proficient. Stock up on more ammo than you'll need. Ammo will be worth more than gold coins. A hunting rifle with extra ammo would be nice too if you want to hunt for meat occasionally. Martial arts lessons are a lot of fun, and good for you too.
    4. NBC Kit - Get one of those large plastic garage storage contains with lid. These items don't cost much. Enough for the 80 days. In it, put the following, for each person: 
    5.  
    6. Skills - VERY important. Get first aid and CPR certified at your local fire station (free), college, hospital, or CERT center (free). Learn how to skin and prepare a rabbit for dinner. Learn how to grow food. Learn the basics of a barterable trade such as electricity (AC and especially DC), plumbing, carbureted automotive repair, sewing, sailing, bicycle repair, electronics/radio repair, etc. Involve yourself with the things that people will NEED.
    7. Barterable goods - Food, ammo, skills, gold and silver bullion coins/bars (see your local coin shop)... Three years from now you could really go for a case of wine. How do you obtain it? Those of us that are left will know where to get certain things. If someone found a warehouse of wine, you could have them deliver a case each month, and in trade you give them some bullets, clothing and fruit, whatever. 
    8. Toilet paper - Enough double rolls for each person for 7 years, minimum. 
    9. Soap - Bars of soap by the case, and concentrated laundry soap by the gallon: http://www.calbenpuresoap.com
    10. Trash bags - Sturdy plastic trash bags (check the Dollar Store for these items)
    11. Cooking oil, olive oil (buy 8 gallons)
    12. Flour, lots (sealed in plastic, airtight)
    13. Sugar, lots (white and brown) (sealed in plastic, airtight)
    14. Baking Soda and Baking Powder (sealed in plastic, airtight)
    15. Distilled White Vinegar for cleaning (buy 10 gallons)
    16. Chlorine Bleach (buy 10 gallons)
    17. Hydrogen Peroxide for disinfecting (buy 10 32oz bottles)
    18. Sun Oven - http://www.sunoven.com - This solar oven gets to over 350 degrees, so you can cook, bake, boil water, etc.
    19. Toothpaste (10 tubes per person) and toothbrushes (8 per person)
    20. Q-tips (cleaning ears, cleaning out wounds, etc)
    21. Deodorant (gotta de-stink once in a while)
    22. Shaving (not needed, but scissors get old) - Disposable razors (1000), OR, get a straight razor at your local cutlery store. Don't forget the mug and shaving soap (20 discs), strop and stone. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUK56EqF-B0
    23. Poor man's water heater - Coiled up, and laid flat on a 4' x 4' piece of plywood, black garden hose sitting in the sun gets hot. Pipe/mix that with your cistern water, and you've got a perfect-temp shower!
    24. Airwell - Creates drinking water http://www.biohome.net/ & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_well_(condenser)
    25. Book - A large size book called "Country Wisdom & Know-How"
    26. 6 1/2 day candles - http://survivalcenter.com/specials.html
    27. Canning goods - Jars, funnel, pressure cooker, lids and rings, etc.
    28. Camping goods - Sleeping bags, tent, mess kits, small first aid kit, fishing poles and lures, rifle and ammo, etc.
    29. Pet carrier, good collar and leash.
    30. Power - A luxury, but a few 110W solar panels, 12V deep-cycle batteries, DC outlet splitter (Radio Shack), and charge controller to recharge your DC devices (radio, fans, lights, battery recharger, mp3 player, etc) will be nice. An inverter will be needed if you want to create regular AC household-style power (very expensive).
    31. Small DC reading lamps. 
    32. Portable DC fans - Truck stops carry these in clip-on and free-standing models
    33. CFL light bulbs - 40 watt equivalent if you use an inverter (see above). LED bulbs are the best, and now they even come in DC models!
    34. Communications - Learn how to use a radio (VHF, Shortwave, SSB, ham radio, etc). Keeping in communication with your barter buddies will be a real life saver, pun intended. 



    Would it really hurt to prepare, just in case? 
    Prepare for it, it's coming, right now.

    I accept and understand that human predators exist. Criminal or terrorist, they take advantage of our civilized society to prey upon the weak. They represent evil and must be confronted and defeated. 
    I believe that self-defense is a moral imperative, and that illegitimate force and illegal violence must be met with righteous indignation and superior violence. 
    I will not rely on others for the security of myself, my family and my community. 
    I proudly proclaim that I run with a like-minded pack. I do not amble through life with the mind-numbed herd. 
    I will train with my chosen weapons, maintain them and carry them in a condition of readiness at all times. 
    I will be mentally prepared and physically equipped to effectively respond to an attack or emergency. 
    I will constantly test myself against realistic standards to discover my strengths and weaknesses. I will turn weakness into strength. 
    I will seek to learn new skills and techniques, and then teach what I have learned to other members of the pack. 
    Be it with firearm or blade, empty hand or blunt object, I will hit my enemies hard, fast and true. 
    I will live a quiet and unobtrusive life, but I will develop and retain the capacity for swift and decisive violence. 
    I recognize that I am the modern equivalent of the traditional Minuteman, and that I may be called to service at any time against heavily armed enemies. I will respond effectively. 
    I accept that I am a pariah among some of my countrymen, and a quaint anachronism to others. I will not hold their ignorance against them. 
    I will win, or die trying. 
    I swear this creed before God, my family and my fellow citizens.
