Do you really think that casino management will be a valuable skill?
You watch way too many movies.
Only if you think personal survival is as a casino coupier !
The only problem is that casinos are like Socialism on May Day
because sooner or later, you run out of other peoples money
and then you can share the misery .
That is why my original reference was to ethnographics in the library.
When the odds are in the house's favor, a casino is the last place to go to prepare for martial law , unless you are looking for a good meal and an unlimited buffet .
I’ll give that one a look, thanks!
Bookmarking your publications.
the good citizens of the US the response to this insanity would be short and sharp and over in about 30-60 days.

I don’t think that would be true. Citizens fighting the military, police and all the little police subsets while under the pervasive camera scrutiny via satellite and other cameras and computer monitoring and no communications will make it a long, most likely unwinnable war.
Thank you for contributing great references. Very helpful.
It won’t be a bunch of citizens rioting in the streets. We have very professional and organized patriot groups such as Oathkeepers and the 3 percenters as well as a network of Constitutional sheriffs and other LEO’s. Many of the military are Oathkeepers. 70% of the military will never even go along with the plan.
Most of our military is overseas fighting foreign wars. We don’t keep a big standing army anyway. When those guys come home most of them are mustered out in 6-8 weeks and back in civilian life.
We have literally tens of thousands of highly trained military combat veterans with sophisticated personal weapons out in our populace.
Every state in the Union has a militia or multiple militias.
The US military has wargamed itself against the American public before and they lose bigtime in each scenario. There are not enough troops in the US to subjugate 3 large cities. So no martial law is not a winning proposition for the President.
“It’s not a militia, it’s a club!”
Ha ha, the “spiritual native American living close to the land as his ancestors did” is a farcical meme.
More like “Living in close harmonly with that can of silver spray paint, which they huff on”.
I say that as a person who crossed many a reaservation in his younger days.
The only one will win a fight with either the military or police today with all the gear they have or can get is on a television program or in your mind. In a fight with either, one’s only option is dying as a man on your feet or dying as a slave cowering and groveling on your knees.

I used to think this way. But a stick will get you a knife, will get you a pistol, will get you a rifle, etc...
And before I get the “what about a jet fighter?” response, ISIS does not have an air force.
During my USAF days, we training deployed to a barren airstrip on an ANG base. We were give 3 days to setup operations and security, then the ANG would attempt to infiltrate. Our first casualties were a sandbag bunker manned by 4 enlisted airmen with M16s. It was taken by a desguised ANG grunt with a .22 revolver.

I agree with you , the post was responding to someone else.
This is coming from a homeless, estranged trucker who's been betrayed, abandoned by Christians and damaged by their religious system. I've had to develop these skills to cope with loss, anger, depression, anxiety and reconcile my belief in the Creator with what has happened to me. Flexibility, adaptability and improvisation are Ways of the Warrior. It is the objective distance to perceive, truly perceive the big picture and act based on that rather than moving mechanically within the practiced motions of a narrow study.
Based on arguments I've had over the last 6 months here on FR, it's clear we are electing the way of pain by waiting to react to a government engineered socioeconomic collapse rather than preempt it by organizing now. I'm sorry I'm not sorry, but "Jesus loves you," "pray and read your Bible" are not adequate skills to save you from real, violent revolutionaries or to navigate a dystopia. Since no one is willing to stand together, I suggest we take the Kiltsman's advice and train to survive alone in the wild. There is a war coming.

Hey, WAKE UP! Nobody promised you a rose garden! How does what has happened to you stack up with what happened to Joseph? Sold into slavery? Imprisoned after falsely being accused of rape? Or how about Samson? Had your eyes gouged out lately?
If you read One Samuel, you will see that every time David got in trouble was when he did something using the “Ways of the Warrior”, without asking YHWH what to do first.
So it is fine to train and prepare, but only do those preparations that the Holy Spirit tells you are necessary. Also remember, if He tells you to do one thing in a given situation, and that situation comes up again, ASK AGAIN, because He may want to do things differently the second time. This is another thing that David learned.
So, I say again: Read your Bible and Pray!
Hey nothing could be worse than what the Brits did to my people for 400 years. Facing down the US govt will be a cakewalk compared to that. Things might look a little rosier if you got on a mild anti depressant. Just sayin.
