REAL life insurance

...Make yourself ready for the fight; life insurance. Not some policy from a insurance firm, but preparations you take as being responsible for yourself and yours. What are you preparing for? The shutdown of America and it's way of life as a engine for consumption and debt based economics. As you've discovered by your cutting back we Americans have been trained to be the most hoggishly wasteful society in history. This was not by accident. With our consumption comes cashflow for the megacorporations that set this system up after WW2, so the logical outcome is the extreme wastefulness that goes on today. We're trained to get the shiniest new junk they pump out, even at the expense of a lifetime of debt slavery. We're dependent on being wasteful.

This wastefulness makes America extremely vulnerable; just cut off the flow of oil and the flow of goods and services comes to a halt, and with most of us living in urban sprawl with few outlets of basic goods within walking distance-think of the August 2003 blackout, and picture it going on.

And on.

And on.

And on for weeks, months, probably years.

People will run out of food within a couple of weeks. Crime will skyrocket before that, and when that last dusty can of green beans is consumed cold desperation and panic will set in. And the blood will flow. Blood will flow-probably from you if you're unprepared-when that low income neighborhood next to yours starts running out of food.

That's just one scary scenario, and it's not even close to being the worst case. Nuclear attack, a restaging of a 9/11 style operation, mass terror strikes using stolen briefcase nukes, North Korea lobbing ballistic missiles at our cities. A civil rights crisis involving abuse of illegal immigrants galvanizing the estimated 20 million illegals in America into reacting violently.

Then there's what the government will do when they drop the hammer on our Constitution and Bill of Rights and institute Martial Law; think those ninja suited madmen will stop at incinerating a few backwoods churches and cabins?

You've read this far so here are some things you can and must do to protect yourselves physically:

Look at a map of the United States of America. You'll see all the major cities, the clusters of suburban towns that cluster around them like grapes, and the interstates that connect the urban areas like vines. Now, look at the clear areas(not in the southwest, that's desert!) You'll find some areas pretty far from the urban areas and interstates that have towns-move there, or have a second home or relations, or even a trailer on a patch of cheap land. Those towns, those rural areas will become the new redoubts of Freedom in America, because "they" have their power in the major urban areas and military bases. Seek towns that could survive a breakdown of the economy. Plus, they're cheap to live in.

Have some spare fuel for your car-rotate it out every six months because gasoline's formulated to break down. Get some 55 gallon barrels, some 5 gallon jerry cans and a hand pump to have as a emergency reserve. Take the jerry cans to the gas station and fill them up each time you gas your car, then fill your barrels. Have your barrels in a separate shed, like a tool shed, and when they're full, draw fuel from them to gas your car up and replenish as needed. It's not to take advantage of price spikes, it's to have a emergency reserve.

Get a generator. A gasoline generator would be more compatable with your fuel storage but lower powered. Diesel generators are more powerful and has the advantage of there being a recipe for brewing a biofuel out of vegetable oil to fuel it.(THIS CAN ALSO BE USED IN AUTOMOBILES WITH DIESEL ENGINES). Any generator however can power tools, a computer for internet access, refrigerators-it's better having electricity than not having it of course.

Have what they used to call a pantry. Buy extra food you'll eat, and rotate that out like I described with the gas storage. Buying in bulk saves cash in the long run anyway. And what's even better is growing your own food naturally; having your own food supply and a few items to trade will keep your food costs low.

To learn a LOT more, get the following magazines and their back issues.

The old MOTHER EARTH NEWS, up to about issue 80. These you'll have to look for at garage sales and flea markets.

LINDSAY TECHNICAL BOOKS CATALOG. Everything you need to know about to restart a industrial civilization after the apocalypse, they have it-but don't wait until after the hammers dropped on us to get at least a basic battery of books.

BACKWOODSMAN. Small publication, but has a lot about basic living and old frontier knowledge. Having back issues makes a good start to a survival library.

BACKWOODS HOME MAGAZINE. Like the Backwoodsman, but they have all their back issues on CD's to view on your computer.

Learn how to use a weapon-preferably a rifle, because life in America can become very basic, very easily and at best the desperate and the criminal are going to do what they got to. Worse, is a out of control state being unleashed in a martial law(no law but what's dictated at the end of a muzzle) scenario. They can shoot kids in the back, burn and poison whole families alive, so they'll have no problem capping your middle class self. So if you want to keep what's yours, learn to use a rifle in a combat situation.

Quick firearems overview

Pistols you carry on you when someone brings a fight to you-they allow you to fight your way to your rifle, which is much more accurate and powerful. You always have your pistol on you, or beside you within reach. Automatics are preferable over revolvers. You can always go to a gun show and find a Glock, or 1911 type. Also common are Browning Hi-Powers, Sig Sauers, and Smith & Wessons(last resort). Stick with 9mm, .40, and .45 auto calibers as they're cheap and common. Have extra magazines and ammo and practice shooting live ammo and dry fire/reloading.

Shotguns are good in a limited sense. Home defense and a car gun in a combat situation in moving vehicles, a spray of buckshot allows a greater margin for error. Riot type shotguns with the magazine going the full length of the barrel are preferable. Fit the weapon with rifle sights.

Rifles are the PREFERRED weapon to have in a gunfight. And the preferred type of rifle to have is one made to fight with in the first place. That means assault rifles that traitors in government have nightmares about. If you have the money, and being middle to upper class you should have the money, get a M-14. It's accurate, has a nice trigger pull, and shoots the hard hitting 7.62mm NATO round. It's also gonna cost you about 2,000 bucks to properly provide for it with extra magazines, ammo, and spare parts. It and it's ancestor, the 30-06 WW2 M-1 Garand are used in the Civilian Marksmanship Program. This course will teach you how to shoot and hit out to 1,000 yards(and how it's survived over the years is something of a miracle). Sign up and learn how to use a rifle in combat.

Second choice is the FN-FAL-it has a pistol grip, but it's sights and trigger are crappier. The HK-91 is the most reliable rifle of all, but has even crappier sights and trigger, is the most expensive, and it'll kick like a elephant gun. Stay away from the "clones" cobbled together from parts kits, unless you want to learn gunsmithing to get them running properly.

If you're broke or just cheap, war surplus bolt actions like the Enfield and the Mauser are cheap and ammo's currently plentiful-but look for .308 versions of these guns. You can buy several and have them to arm friends and others who tag along in a pinch.

Where to get these weapons? First, look around for any gun shows; you can buy privately without filling out federal forms that register you and your gun with the government. You'll get the widest variety of weapon and ammo selection at these weekend shows, plus good advice from folks who know what they're talking about.

If no shows are around you, or you're in need of a gun quick, you can look through the classifieds. Someone's always got something for sale, though it probably won't be what you're looking for.

A third option is to cruise garage sales and flea markets, but that's a crapshoot and your odds of getting ripped off if you don't know what you're doing go way the hell up.

Gun shops? Nice for buying ammo and getting your gun serviced, and they're the most reputable, but you'll have to sign that form and get registered with the government and have a background check. And why go through that if government's the problem in this country? You're only free with a gun when the government doesn't know you have one.

Having a gun is a great responsibility-it's your responsibility to never point the muzzle of your weapon at something you don't want to destroy. It's also your responsibility to become proficient in it's use. That means practicing marksmanship. Find someone who knows how to show you the basics. Also, get a bb gun and "plink" at targets in your backyard or hallway. It would also help if you took up paintball, which will teach you what combat's like. If you're able, sign up for one of the premium firearms academies like Gunsite, or Thunder Ranch.

Here are some resources for you to continue your quest for personal protection:

PALADIN PRESS-they have a large selection of books on firearms and how to use them-among other no-no topics like bomb making and guerilla warfare.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERANS ORGANIZATION rwva.org This is a website run by "Fred" who's trying to promote old school rifle marksmanship; being able to shoot and hit with a service rifle out to 500 yards. The principals can be taught at 25 yards with a backstop.

SNIPER COUNTRY.COM-this is a knowledge base for those hungry enough to want to learn to shoot out to a thousand yards or more.

SUBGUNS.COM-another longtime message board. It's like being in a online version of one of those old gunshops. They'll answer any question about guns or government you got.

Now, with you out of debt, having stopped being a slave of frivilous consumption and overtaxation, and possessing the basic means of self-sufficiency and personal defense, it's time and your responsibility to become personally responsible for others. Now you're ready to join the fight for our freedom.
