How Do You Prepare for a Revolution?
organic prepper ^ | 6/1/20 | Daisy Luther

Prepper Ping - How do you prepare for a revolution?
Or for Socialism, where the misery is shared when there is no more money

In this article, I want to speak specifically about the practical steps you need to take to be prepared for a revolution
if things should come to that point across the country.
This article is not about philosophy or right vs. wrong. It’s not about fighting for your “side” whatever side that might be.
It’s about surviving.
There are lots of links because I’m not reinventing the entire wheel here – that would be a book on its own.
This is merely a guideline so you know where to focus your time, money, and attention."

:" ..Many of the ailments and minor trauma wounds not involving rapid blood loss can be safely handled at home.
RC course helps identify those situations allowing for self triage.
Many bactericides are available OTC as well as wound closure items.
Sort of stuff Boys Scouts, farmers, and outdoor workers once learned when medical help was distant."

"Skill right up there with staying fit when manual labor has become more intensive
due to utility break downs."

Barter and skills are not yet taxable by the government, and represent an additional source of income.
Develop new skills and abilities, especially those that are now, or will be, in demand.
There will always be need for trained medical technicians, if not for your own family, the need will be in the community.
The last I knew, Red Cross training was free, your only commitment was to set aside your available time.
Older Boy Scout manuals (BSA) from the 70's and 80's are collectors items for preppers, earlier are even better and more comprehensive,
and occasionally can be found in 'used book stores'.

Can also use Tea - I was able to salvage one of the Mrs handbags for her by using that trick after she had someone spill coffee on it. Soaked it in tea overnight then threw it in the wash for a good rinse - perfectly blended tan color.

That’s right.

In the past, I’ve struck up short conversations with liberals and they had no idea where I was coming from. But I learned a lot about them.

Standard calibers now average $2.00 a round.

Seriously? It has been a long time since I bought ammo.

That's right from Sun Tze's book, "The Art of War "
Learn your enemy's strength, weaknesses, and tactics (A/K/A: spy, informants),
and be aware and evaluate your own strength and weaknesses .

Have the spirit of and for survival ...

You can have footlockers full of food, guns and ammo, but without the will to kill ... you just gave thousands away to someone who will take it.

The military will side with the globalist, look at Mattis head of the DOD and taking money from the communist Chinese. That being said, you can still win although it will be a long and bloody slog, look at Afghanistan the last 20 years where they have fought us to a standstill.

The trouble with revolution is that first shot, it’s the hardest because it goes against everything you have been taught. Once it’s taken the rest will be easy and make no doubt if it comes to revolution it will not be a take the field and fight like 1776, it will be either states against the federal government or strategic hits against it. You have to make the right people hurt and the right people bleed and it’s dirty and cruel and if 1% of the population take this route we are in for a hell of a ride. I hope and pray this cup passes from us but now it looks inevitable.

Bingo.

Hoard lead...not gold.

"Focus on repairing instead of replacing. If you do have to discard something, strip it of its useful parts. Sort out screws, fasteners, buttons, laces, etc., and store them for the time you need them.

The skills acquired learning this cannot be taken away.

laplata :" Right. And never, never underestimate any enemy."

True that ! Underestimation will get you hurt, or even killed.
That is why I included the organization of AntiFa in the Prepper ping list several months ago.
It showed their organization, their high power comms with earphones and mikes, commanders at the rear area, and guarded by support troops,
with mobile observation units on bicycles and equipped with cellphones, and equipped with some folks identified as 'medics'.
Your enemy may be very highly 'tech'ed out and put you at a significant disadvantage.

I bleve Mao said something like “swim with the other fishes in the sea.” Undetectable... by day.

Think about all those webcams on stoplights, and sec cams in businesses. It’ll come to you.

A lone wolf leaves zero digital footprints.

Cells of 3, no wider, mean that whole units can’t be rolled up if one is captured.

Now is a great time to invest research, then implementation, into end to end encryption, and data encryption, but comsec is key. Simply stop radiating.

Choke points. Every supply chain failure holds a lesson on... leverage.

Victory has no real world finish line. Instead, your success lies in failure, in the enemy’s will to fight. Sudden reversals lead to resignation on the board. Sudden reversals can exist only in the enemy’s mind on a digital chessboard.

All outlined in “Rapid Dominance” by Fred Franks. AKA “Shock and Awe.” Which superceded Air-Land. Both useful. Read up.

Any publication that starts with the letters “FM-”

Like other worthwhile pursuits, not a blitz. Instead, a gradual change in wide angle life style. An evolution, not an objective.

Passed generation to generation. Along with forbidden copies of The Constitution.

But... given the intricate and not accidental wording... “a peaceful transition on 1/20”... keep your safety on, till 1/21.

Buy sturdy clothing now: pick up winter jackets, shoes, jeans, and practical clothes.

The next couple weeks are the BEST time to buy winter clothing.

The stores are all clearing out their winter inventory preparing for the spring and summer arrivals.

As I recall from the past, the weeks before and after MLK weekend are the best.

They are starting to mark stuff down now, but in a couple weeks, it'll be even better.

Mind you, the selection isn't always the best, obviously, but you can get some really terrific deals.

It would be especially true for buying for kids for them to grow into something.
