pssst... need your input in GD

[FirstLight]

rather than repost here, i welcome you coming to weigh in on my question...

what will happen next, and what can we do to prepare.

there is real possibility that the defaulting isn't just a big metaphor or hyperbole or false flag...

what is the next step for preparedness?
I can say this here, not out there...but look

we all know the shit is gonna hit the fan in one way or another. we have been talking ourselves into 'be positive and make it a collective effort' but the reality is that there are more fearful people out there than sane people in here at ASAH
and the other reality is that we KNOW there will be some kind of crumbling, whether it be in Atlantis-fashion or not
hiccups in grocery stores, internet, safety services, medical options...

what do we DO to prepare? let's start a preparedness thread or group, we can still hold for peaceful and easy transition, but we need to NOT be delusional and face the fact that we could be cut off in a lot of ways, and it could come sooner than later...i choose not not be surprised.

thoughts? post here or in GD:

1. You have a network where you are, FL....

Since this has been a focus of yours for a long time, my only suggestion is to contact these types of organizations -- which are popping up left and right, which is awesome -- and join with those close to you. If there isn't one, you create one and gather those of like mind and heart.

There are also tons of sites with preparedness information in case of any type of emergency or disaster, of course.

Anyway, I want to share these links:

2. schweet!

I know you have shared with me before, but I think I may have lost the bookmarks in my computer crash last year...

3. I started preparing

a couple of years ago. I've made sure to buy extra supplements in case of the scenario we now have at the #&)#($(##_*#@$ FDA.
The Evil Doers are coming after our healthy food and self care items. You can't grow tomatoes, but you can put in Genetically Engineered grass
and plenty of Agent Orange Roundup.

Does that sound anything like a free people? I don't know about anyone else. But, I don't trust anyone who wants to poison me and
withhold life giving substances.

You know what you'll need. I'm not going to list my stuff 'here'. I will say that the tent Cleita gave me is in my boogie bag
(not to be confused with Boogie, my Tuxedo kit). You do need a cache of survival supplies.

The most important things I've been doing include working on my intuition. I really want to take a martial art... Don't be a 'follower'.
Do you ever listen to Gerald Celente? He was in that South American earthquake last year. He told us how he got out.
Many people remained in the building waiting for someone to come along and tell them what to do. Don't wait for a leader.
Polish up your Spidey-sense. (Preparedness champs also reminds us that if calamity occurs our body gives us a big booster of adrenaline.
Plan to use it to your advantage! The slow drip method is stressful also. Worrying about ANY future will exhaust the adrenal glands.
Don't do it.)

People will group together. That's what we do. Unless you run for the hills. There's always that. It will be a lot easier if the
ATF doesn't go around taking citizens' guns. Or trying to hold people prisoners in their own homes. If our government doesn't get
a grip on itself and start putting things right, it could get very very bad. I'm a member of a local meetup group dedicated to
survival topics. We're just getting started. I would rather be in the group with a plan than be in the one without one.

I was inspired by some of the coverage of the survivors of the Haiti quake. In some of the tent cities the older women had stepped up to lead.
Their camp was clean and peaceful with a lower crime rate. One of the most dis-empowered demographic in our country (mature women) are saving
the society. At least in Haiti.

6. boogie bag... i like

I am opening up the food storage i have and re-checking everything, dates, etc...

i have plenty of firewood, and can manage to cook on the woodstove, winter can be scary...but at least the snow is a good source of water too...

at least i'm in a remote area and can manage to stay away from the crazies, mostly


gonna read those articles for sure

13. Other things...

Think about your skills that you can use in barter. I sew, for example. I need to be ready to put that skill to good use.
I also know a lot about holistic health practices (I don't practice medicine.) I've stowed a few medicinal supplies.
That skill may be important, depending on circumstances. I live in a bedroom suburb of Dallas/Ft. Worth. Nothing is going
to happen around here. I'm a few blocks from a major interstate highway. But the last thing I would do is get on that
road to nowhere. I try to keep my truck filled with gas. But I didn't have an extra $100 to do it this month.

You know what they say. It's better to be prepared and not need it than needing it and not being prepared.
About 90% of it is mental/spiritual. Sometimes I am just in awe of what Sophia/Gaia is doing. I feel like she
is being brutalized by the hierarchical system. What she is giving us in return doesn't approach the level
of abuse she is taking.

Touch the Goddess/Nature.


*You are very lucky to live where you do. Everything that happens is going to affect us to the extent of our location
and preparations. I'll repeat. Gerald Celente says we have to be prepared physically, mentally and spiritually.
I am way out of physical shape. Weak. And I was always so strong. Changing that is on my list todo, for many reasons.

I feel that we will be able to stay in touch. There is a lot of talk about the Executive Order Obama signed giving
the gov the ability to close down websites/internet. I love the Geeks. They will not stand for that.

11. Speaking of Cleita, where has she been lately? Do you have

contact with her?

[Why Syzygy]

12. I think she

has been posting. I have her on facebook.
If you write me a private message over there, I'll send a friend rec for her.

4. Invest in gold.

It's "their" currency.

[FirstLight]

5. nope...can;t eat it

besides, THEY will be just as in flux and in the illusion of control as ever

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. I've been saying for years that people should invest in gardens.

Including community food projects.

I'm not looking to see whether the bottom drops out of the world economy as part of Their control plot, but it certainly looks like it could.
