One of the most frightening consequences of an SHTF situation is the specter of martial law. Of course, most of us have nothing to fear from law enforcement under normal circumstances, but when due process and fundamental rights are suspended for the ‘greater good’, preppers and survivalists may find themselves government targets.
Even though there is nothing illegal regarding prepping, all it takes is the stroke of a pen for that to change. If it does, you may find that you are now a target of the government and need to find places to conceal yourself.
Under normal circumstances, martial law will only last until the crisis has been resolved, but in cases of an EMP or economic collapse, you could find yourself under the thumb of the military for extended periods.
⇒ 7 Actions To Take Immediately Following An EMP Strike
Why Is Martial Law A Threat To Preppers?
For the most part, if you are a law-abiding citizen, there is little to fear from the imposition of martial law in your area.
However, local military commanders would be able to confiscate food, water, and supplies to distribute to others in the community or confiscate firearms.
Preppers spend a lot of time and money gathering food, water, and supplies to protect their families in an emergency.
However, there have been instances throughout history where ‘hoarding’ has been discouraged or outlawed, and those found to have ‘more than they need’ had their supplies confiscated.

This is one reason preppers need to exercise good operational security (OPSEC) regarding their preps. The fewer people are aware of what you have, the more likely you will not become a target during martial law.
It is also possible that people with political views in contrast to the current government would also find themselves under increased scrutiny.
Regardless of why you want to hide during a period of martial law, it is helpful to think about what you would do before the emergency rather than during it. The following are five places to hide during martial law.
Stay Where You Are
Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight. If there is no immediate reason to leave, it is probably best to remain in place and keep your preps concealed.
It is also a good idea to be kind, polite, and helpful to the soldiers tasked with providing security in your area.
⇒ How To Make Your House Invisible To Intruders During A Crisis
As long as you never give the impression that you will be a problem or act suspicious, there would be little reason for the military to consider you to be of any interest.
In this instance, your goal is to conceal your level of preparedness. Your food, water, supplies, and firearms should be hidden out of sight but leaving a meager stockpile visible for the soldiers to take if they end up being tasked with confiscating supplies.
If soldiers enter your home to confiscate supplies and find nothing, they will be more likely to search until they find something. If you leave some supplies either in plain view or very poorly concealed, they will take what they can see and forgo a detailed search.
Whether you decide to stay put during martial law or leave your home, make sure you have bug-out bags ready to go in case the situation degrades to the point where you will need to escape.
Off-Grid Cabin Or Bug Out Location
One of the best ways to deal with martial law is to bug out to an off-grid cabin or bug-out location. As long as you do not draw any attention to yourself or your location, you will remain off the radar of the local military commanders.
Related: Bug Out Vehicles – Why Most People Get it Wrong
As with many aspects of prepping, you should exercise good OPSEC and keep the location of your bug-out location a secret from everyone aside from those who need to know.
Modern militaries will have air support with advanced thermal imaging, making remaining concealed difficult. The best way to deal with this problem is to make your cabin or bug-out location look unimportant enough not to demand a closer investigation.
Friends And Family
If you find yourself pursued during martial law, one good place to hide is with friends or family. Throughout history, people have sought refuge in the homes of their family and friends, and during martial law, this will be an option many people will choose to take.
However, the biggest issue with doing this is that you will be placing your family and friends at risk because anyone looking for you will inevitably find themselves at the doorstep of anyone you associate with or are related to.
The Wilderness
Running away into the wilderness is an option in response to martial law but not one that should be taken lightly.
While it seems that it would be easy enough to find a spot to camp out until the crisis is over, living out of a backpack in the bush is not as easy as it would appear.
Locating enough food will be a significant concern, and existing in the wild while not drawing any attention from the military will be challenging.
Like running to a cabin or bug-out location, military helicopters will eventually discover the heat signatures of your camp and everyone in it. The key is to appear to be of no threat to anyone.
If you are an experienced outdoors person with intimate knowledge of the area, bugging out to the bush is an option to consider. However, if you do not spend a lot of time in the wilderness, this option should be a last resort.
Prepper Communities
One good place to hide is amongst a community of preppers. If you and your neighbors are all on the same page regarding dealing with emergencies and the prospect of martial law, you can look out for each other and present a united front.
It would be easier to give the impression that your community is not well prepared if everyone is on board and acting to deceive the soldiers together.
Sometimes an emergency, crisis, or disaster will result in martial law being declared. Most of the time, martial law will be suspended once the situation is resolved, and the soldiers will depart.
However, there may come a time when martial law is imposed with no end in sight, and preppers might find themselves in the government’s crosshairs. It is unlikely times like this that we should spend time now considering what we would do in such a situation.

My dear and precious Red Ant;
Don’t count the Spirit of God out of this fight just yet…
[Daniel 11:32 KJV] 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
The Word of God shows us how the first preppers ran their routes. Noah, Joseph and Jesus (Luke 21:20-21 and Luke 22:36) to name a few examples. Take deep thought on how each of these people heard from Father God His clear instruction and did not dawdle when fulfilling His command.
Make sure to put that Bible double wrapped in good zip lock bags right on top in Ye Olde Bug Out Bag! If things go as badly as we think they will, and you survive, you should have plenty of time for some deep thoughtful reading. 🙂 And who knows. Maybe I’ll show up at one of your “Prepper’s Bible Study Class”!
Prepper’s Axiom:
I stay ready to keep from needing to get ready should I need to be ready when bad times come.

We have a paperwork trail, with all of those details that are clarified, leading to a larger paperwork trail. And this paperwork trail, lead me into weaponized paranormal research, instead of psychic espionage. The consecration of water, leading to “Basic Psychic Self-Defense” just like calling on angelic protection, will lead to a similar weaponization research area. A video and book do exist called “Basic Psychic Self-Defense”, this is because panicking people want security theatre, not verified security.
Continue with your bagged evidence of research entanglement, through scripture study implementation. With your admission entangling you into a similar research area, look up (Basic Psychic Self Defense) with Robert Bruce being one expert. This will lead to a paramilitary command chain, for basic chasing out of negative spirits, to reduce panic AKA (Also-Known-As) Applied PSYOPS.for reducing mass-panic.
What 23 countries have abandoned the US dollar? In 2019 there was some talk of China, Russia and the EU giving it up, but nothing ever happened. The US Dollar is still the currency of the world. Over 30 countries peg their currencies to the US dollar.
they are paying Russia for oil in rupples.
the chinese the Saudis .. so once the oil is not tied to the petrol dollar it will cascade as
the other countries will be given a better exchange rate.
( under sell in cost based on exchange rates).
true the dollar is strong but one event would stop that.
Haven’t you heard about the BRICS nations? Brazil, Russia, India, China, south Africa? And now it’s looking like several countries, like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc will be joining them in ditching the use of US fiat currency. These other countries are going back to REAL money — gold or commodity-based money; not this BS pretend Fed currency that the demons in this country forced the world to use. Watch for the European currency to collapse, then Japan, then the US. Oh, and don’t forget to thank the illigitimate PedoJoe regime for this, which he caused, when his puppetmasters made him sanction Russia and removed Putin from the SWIFT system. Did the idiots in this country think that Russia was going to allow some demonic globalist cabal running the US destroy them? Um, no.
Yes something happened BRICs is growing. Each country has between 11 to 34 linked countries and now the Saudi’s, Turkey and Iran has joined. The world is sick of how out of control our regime has become and they do not like or trust them. Our dollar is dying.

Red Ant: I heard Charlie Ward’s 10/22/22 insiders rebroadcast online last night. HE said that Martial Law is coming in 3 weeks, immediately after the elections (if there even are any!). He said he asked General Flynn about that and the general did not say a word, but looked at Charlie like: HOW did you know about that? Curiouser and curiouser!!

Do not listen to Charlie Ward, Charlie Freak, or any of those guys. If you do a little research you will find they have been saying the same thing now for 3 years. ‘In 2 weeks…” “In 3 days…” etc etc. These guys are all just shilling their gold and crypto. We call them Paytriots. Charlie used to say such garbage as, “I had a chat with Q over lunch yesterday….” BULLLLLLPUCKY. Q is a team of Intel guys and, trust me, they ain’t meeting with Charlie Ward.
General Flynn was not looking at Charlie like he had inside intel, he was asking himself why he allowed himself to be on such a grifter’s show.
I’m serious. Been in the prepper world for more than 30 years after going through Hurricanes and aftermath of 9-11. Been following Q closely since the first drop. (There has NEVER been an incitement to violence on the Q drops, FWIW…Mostly awareness info and lots of scriptures!)
Anyway, we know the bad guys have been busy.
We know the Bolsheviks never gave up on the war they started 100 years ago.
We know they all play the long game.
We also know they tell us what they are about to do in advance. It’s almost part of their sick religion.
We also know they use copious amounts of symbolism and numerology. Things happen on their occult calendar. So Halloween is a date to be concerned about. It’s a high holy day for the satanists and one they do a lot of sacrifices on. Note how they released that despicable Halloween movie again (with Better Midler and company.) All three of those women are actual witches in real life.
So be on the alert. Plan on staying home Halloween. If you have kiddies and insist on celebrating this horrible “holiday”, make it one of praising God and keeping kids safe.
Yes, they will try something or several somethings between now and the Election. I don’t believe the doomers who say “There will be no election.” Charlie, BTW, has said this for years. Didn’t his simpy kid give it away?
Be awake and Be alert. Pray constantly. God wins.
Q is a federal program to make the Republicans act like idiots and fall for anything
Check out monkeywerx’s YouTube channel mil spec ops reports. He monitors military air travel. Charles’s assumptions may be right. The domestic military troop flights are aligning up with this.
What 23 countries ?
Part of being prepared is to learn to do your own research. Sorry to sound abrupt, but there are way too many subjects at hand to go into a dissertation and educate everyone on the details.

Who are the 23 countries?
Hi Red Ant,
I know this “The lord”s will be done” and it will be. Be it Armageddon or a SHTF.
It does not matter when anything happens or what happens. All that matters is the lords children be prepared for it.
As to voting I do not think there is a good ones to vote for only the lesser of two evils.
would I vote for republicans? yes because they are the lesser of two evils and not because they are what we really need in office. We definitely don’t need democrats.
Dreaded My Friend:
“Yes” with great joy to you, because that is the KEY… He will come like a THEIF in the Night. So being ready is the only way to be ready for the coming of the Lord JESUS CHRIST.

ALSO “pray for those that are blinded by the darkness that is in the world”. Pray for them, for there time will be of great sorrow and pain… But only bitterness will come, for the nashing of teeth you will hear against the Lord GOD, only because of there life of SIN. REPENT…
Yes, on the voting and me too.
PS: sorry I just was going over OLD articles and saw this that you have posted. Thank you so much…
stay sharp, my friend.
We been voting for a 100 years and the corruption has lead to this socialist nation birth. Can’t vote your way out of this folks
The irony is the majority of the readers here back the thin blue line. Plus they love the title of law abiding citizen. So expect the majority to become boot lickers to the police and government.
You’re already on a list. Your bulk food purchases and guns and ammo are notes in the computer. Your posting online of your fudd rifle also is logged in.
The off grid cabin ? Yeah who’s land is it? Who can’t Pau property taxes now . Oh looks like you get a trip to the law abiding citizens camp
Socialist? Really? You need to go back to Civics class. We are, at most, a middle-right country.
What got us here was pure, unregulated CAPITALISM for 40 years. Yiu don’t really think that the middle and lower income people caused this do you?
Who raises prices and cuts wages? Who busts unions and lays-off thousands to “increase profits”, like Musk.is saying he’ll do at Twitter?
It’s the people with money, fool! You’re railing against your own interests.
Damn, Americans are dumb.
You are correct in your assertion of corporate greed.
But what good is money when the dollar collapses?
Yes, we are very close to socialism.
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Socialism and big government started with the passage of the 19th amendment.
You are the one who needs a civics lesson.. Unregulated capitalism? Try 30+ Federal Government Agencies, all of which are unconstitutional. “We the people” have STUPIDLY allowed and gone along with each of them in the name of “short term” big government solutions that never worked, cost us dearly, generated wealth for corrupt officials, and eventually became permanent fixtures.. Capitalism is the only thing that has kept this place from becomming a total economically stagnant hell hole. Who raises prices and cuts wages? The democrat dominated tyrannical government, of course.. Massive inflation due to unrestrained government spending coupled with tax increases of all kinds is what causes companies to have to tighten their belts in order to stay in business and continue to provide jobs at all. Unions are a good thing as long as they don’t become the parasite that kills the host- as so many have..
YOU ARE DUMB.
Capitalism is not the problem. Crony Capitalism and a Congress with no regulation on their insider trading and kowtowing to special interests who bribe them. Entrepreneurialism and Capitalism made this country great and gave women and minorities an equal footing and a chance to be independent and take care of themselves.
Capitalism doesn’t need to be regulated. The REGULATORS need to be regulated and monitored. When you take an office as a Public Servant, you shouldn’t leave office with millions of dollars more in your bank account! Nancy Peeeelousi is the prime example.
OTOH – Donald Trump went into office worth $4 billion and left office worth $3 Billion. He donated his salary every quarter, used his own planes, used his own home, and was a true servant. People bought into the lamestream lies and now we are left with the Biden Crime Family, which is far worse than the Clinton and Pelosi crime families combined. Only we DIDN’T vote them in! How did AZ lose to Biden when his rallies had less than 50 people and Trump’s were in the hundreds of thousands over time? The Trump parade was 96 miles long the week before the election.
We need to secure elections (Blockchain?) and we need to stand for Liberty and Freedom, which is currently best served with real Entrepreneurial Capitalism and realizing we are a Democratic Republic and not a Democracy.
Jim, liberals do all that. Most wealthy people are very liberal because the jackass party gives them anything they want. Mexico, most people are Christians or pagans, but it’s an atheist state by law. We’re ruled by socialists, chico. That means we’re heading into nazism (elitist communism) as begun by FDR and his cronies. The people have little say in it, no matter how conservative they are. See Cuba, where people are very conservative and the castro brothers were called the little hitlers of the Caribbean.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Socialism always works. Examples- The Soviet Union…oh, well. That was probably not a good example.
You might have been right 10 or 20 years ago but in todays time line you are sorely mistaken. Biden and the democrats have made laws that are against the constitution or at least bypasses it. This makes what we have into a socialist controlled country. It may appear to be free but our freedom of speech and second amendment freedoms are being taken away. So now tell me again about the rich being in control for they may have some affect but they are no longer in control. If they were we would not have the problems we are having now.
Fun fact: When the 19th amendment was passed, we had a steady and increasing expansion of government AND SOCIALISM.
It rocketed up with the passage of the Civil Rights act.
Care to put blame for this mess where it belongs?
Terribly sorry my right to vote bothers you so much! That doesn’t sound right so please explain to me. How did equal voting rights for (white) women put us on a path of socialism? How did equal rights for every citizen of this country destroy it?
crazy: An American Indian, I benefited from the civil rights act, and I am not a socialist. Repub conservatives drafted that and liberals changed it to make themselves look like heroes.
FDR adopted nazism. Nazism is elitist communism and anti anything Jewish, like Christianity. Remember the 600 Jewish kids FDR gave hitler as a present? Yeah. Christians protested but FDR was a legend in his own mind, a nazi. He refused to go to war with hitler, tho the nazis were making acts of war on us. FDR had to be blackmailed after Pearl Harbor to declare war on the Axis, not just Japan. niio

Best to think seriously about weaning yourself off the dollar as much as possible. Nobody takes pleasure in thinking that the US is going down the tubes but the signs are clear. As Red Ant points out, multiple countries are choosing other monetary sources…some fiat but some backed by commodities. The BRICS nations are pushing ahead. So how do you protect yourself against the collapse? It’s not easy and it’s certainly painful. Get out of debt….now. If at all possible, preserve your primary residence. Divert funds to pay off the mortgage. Jobs will be lost, income depleted in a dollar collapse. Too big to fail does not apply now. Divest of meaningless investments which will collapse….They’re on the way now. I watched my Roth continually drop until I said “enough” and put that money on the property. What about saving a nest egg for retirement? It won’t matter…retirement now means survival. Hard goods, metals, food will mean the difference. Again, nobody wants to say the quiet part out loud, but denying it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Let’s get through this, throw the bums out and rebuild on the other side.
Hey, Farmer
My preps are my retirement fund… As for SS income, figured that what I put in, help the elderly. Because I knew I would not get that either.
Somehow always thought it would go to crap before I would want to retire. Here we are… lol

Farmer: I’m not getting replies to posts; nor are several others here.
It’s rare we disagree…How many times have liberals put us close to the edge of failure? 3? 4? Civil War, half of the North was on the side of the democrat South. KKK? Democrats used that to take over entire states and nearly wrecked us. FDR’s great depression? We were coming out of it when he stole the election with lies and help from the KKK, Planned Parenthood and other socialist/nazi organizations like the Wobblies (Wobblies were the last of the Marxists but jumped into nazism and then the American Communist Party). Now we’re facing WWII, again, owned by the dnc and soros. But, unlike every time before, Americans are outraged. Even liberals are arming in fear of soros and his pet dems. Remember Washington’s black clouds prophecy. The nation breaks down and we’re invaded by clouds of people from North Africa and Asia, but in the end, liberals are wiped out and rednecks of all races prevail. niio

A.E. a whole bunch of folks in this land don’t have nor want to have a clue. I’ve met many Pollyanna’s…and feel a combination of pity and disdain for them. Some I’ve tried to counsel with usually frustrating results. Some I’ve led by the hand…some I’ve just told “good luck”. Some tell me God will fix it…forgetting the parable of ants and grasshoppers and too lazy to think. I’m old enough….74…to have a different perspective than most younger people today. I remember growing up with ĺittle and learning from my Dad how to grow a garden, build things with my hands and make do with what we had. The next few years are going to be interesting!
Methinks many of the things we fret about now will not be a problem as people begin dropping dead from the vaccine. Look at what’s happening to our athletes! How many have dropped dead so far?
A nurse was online one day claiming that there were 3 vials, if it had a 1 on it, it was a placebo. That was given to the “elites” (don’t ya love how they gave that moniker to themselves?!) If it had a 2 on it, it was the MRNA gene altering shot. A 3 on the bottle also had carcinogens in it. They are running experiments on us like we are rats in a lab!
Then Yuval Noah Harari has been spouting his nonsense … he believes the “elites” are gods and in time there will be no need for us useless eaters. He says they can find the healthiest bodies and then “download” their own consciousness into the bodies so they can live forever. Not making this up. Just found this on a chatroom
The enemy is Satan. The signs are all there. People refuse to see it at their own peril. I’m with you Farmer. Same life experience. Watchful, prayerful, and waiting. Humans are so willing to be blind and so fearful of being wrong. Many of the vaccinated ones will be leaving soon in the quest for Bill Gates’ Depopulation wet dream. Already the global fertility is dropping. The vaccine renders young men and women infertile. And now they are giving it to kids. A different world is emerging. No God, no hope. Know God, Know Hope.
Farmer: People are waking up. Even liberals are booing dems now. yes, God will fix it, but like the saying goes, every good daddy needs to spank his erring children on occasion, and God is a very good Father. niio
Farmer you are about like me 😂. I grew up both on a farm during summer and in a small city during winter. My farther taught mechanics, some gardening, and some meat curing. My mom taught me how to cook, make hot toddies, and use what I had to make a meal.
Now I can build anything I need, have access to materials and since I am at heart a country boy I can survive. But I am 71 now and still working. SO I am fiscally fit.
But I ask you why would you want to survive in a world where you would have to kill others to keep what you have so you can survive?
The only answer I can come up with is so your children and children’s children have a chance at a future. For myself personally I do not care if I survive or not but I will survive for my family. This makes a difference in how I go about surviving. The main reason I have changed from wanting to suvive to not caring is I lost my wife back in July. Life just does not have the glow it use to have.
As to changing the peoples mind about politics you can not even if you show them proof they will only say that it is false because of what they are getting from the government(they are being bought and just don’t know it).
Can’t “run to’ anywhere when they won’t let you LEAVE…

He is a dang site better than any Democrat and most other politicians.
You bet. My parents were born in 1924 and 1928. They are gone… But boy did they have skills. And they taught them all to their children.
I wish I knew more about survival. I appreciate these emails.
Best also to have a small stockpile of old cheap guns and like ammo in easy to locate place so they think they got all you had. Put up a fuss when the take them. Makes it look good. And never target practice or shoot any of the saved guns unless absolutely necessary because they will be listening for just such to take place to return and do a detailed search. Buy yourself a good high powered pellet air rifle to use for all your needs after the initial visit. For defense and food.
A pellet rifle. Really.
Do you think that they will only take what they might see. I think not. They will come in and destroy every part of your place and you and your family. Are you even aware of who you will be dealing with. Ruthless beyond logic.
They will not be there to help you or your family, so don’t think that they are there to help.
Watch the movie, The Purge.
Better GROW a pair and get ready.
Don’t play fare, they won’t…
stay sharp
Do you know that they make pellet rifles in .50 caliber that are high-powered and are used for big game hunting?
Look at Big Game Air Guns
As well as many other sites. So yes, pellet guns are a good alternative that are no where near as loud. You still get the sonic boom, but the propellant explosion is not there.
Ya, I know it is going to happen because I saw a Hollywood movie about it. lol
Rodger
They will not be carrying a pellet rifle to shot you with.
The air rifle that you are referring to, shoots only one round @ a time. not much of an advantage, that I see. Hunting Yes, fight against a real rifle, No.

You have no idea what you are talking about. First, todays high powered large cal air guns take down wild pigs and moose. Very powerful guns. Next, you don’t park these air guns on your front porch for all to see. You hide them, under ground, where ever. Something you apparently never thought much about. Red Ant simply is not into the program of survival and what it takes to decieve people at your door step.
Richard Beasley
I know for a fact that I am most into the survival of deception.
Come to my doorstep and you will surlily find out how much I am into it.
Bad guess, for you Richard…
stay sharp
I rather look forward to finding out what 50 beowolf will do to a man
Somebody above said something about “soldiers” coming into your home searching for food and guns. They will walk over my dead body! NOBODY has that authority, unless you GIVE them that authority, not even under Martial Law. Martial Law does NOT suspend the Constitution!
Many arrogant know-it-alls will laugh at your pellet gun advise. However, pellet guns can kill small game like rabbits and doves that can feed you. Coupled with the fact that they are silent, cheap, and always legal to own.
I have taken down wild pigs by shooting them in the ear with a 1200 ft/sec lead 22 cal pellet. Red Ant is inexperienced about the affects of placing small cal shots on adversaries or wild game. And, air guns today come in rapid fire semi-auto styles to boot. Another thiing Red Ant missed in his evaluation of what we all ought to do from his perspective.
Richard Beasley
If you are so good at predicting one’s life and that you have no idea about me, you sure are a poor judge of character.
I know that a pellet gun can perform very well in certain situations and with the right person it can be deadly.
Can it stand up to an AR-15 or a shot gun, NO.
I have no problem placing my shot right where I am aiming.
My first air gun was a Benjamin air rifle.
Richard did you know that also about me. seems you know so much about me. Hummmmm… LOL
You are your self-do as you wish, that is my perspective to you.
stay sharp
You are right mountain man, I have a quiet multi shot pellet gun that shoots just as fast and hard as a 22 rifle, and I can shoot your left nut off as you come down my driveway. Everybody should have one, ammo is cheap and easy to carry.
They are as loud as a 22lr if not louder..
They require a pellet gun scope or you will just destroy the optic.
Lol come on now . The famous Fudd lies of the 22lr is the greatest caliber around. 22lr sucks a raccoon it takes a few to the head to kill them.
So you won’t train good luck using the guns then
“Charlie Foxtrot” X-spurt, the only reason it takes you several .22LR rounds to take down a raccoon is because you don’t know how to do it properly. I’ve killed deer with one properly placed .22LR round to the head, that raccoon skull isn’t any thicker or harder, you’re just incompetent. Maybe you should have used your .50 Beowulf toy instead, and be sure to get really close so you get a good splatter of blow-back all over you.
Voting does matter and stop saying it doesn’t. The other side wants you to believe that. We are a country of laws and I for one will fight for it to remain so. Prepping does not mean to turn tail and run. It means to provision one’s self so that you can fight for the civil society that we claim to love.
Spend your time staying right where the hell you are and together we’ll al get through this.
Listen, I love this country as much as any great patriot but let’s be honest…our votes haven’t counted for a very long time! Do you really think this current baffoon actually received 81 million votes? 😂 Hell no! Why do you suppose Hillary had such a hard time accepting her loss? Because they knew they had rigged the system in her favor. They just had never expected Trump to break all their algorithms. They made that mistake once in 2016 and then did what they did in 2020. They aren’t letting go of that power now. No matter how we vote. The only way we get our country back is by uniting, growing a pair, and taking it back ourselves.
I disliked my own comment 😂
Get real. Yes, he did. Damn, his OWN people, elected Repu8cans said he LOST. It’s like your own yeammaye saying “Yes, he was out.” In baseball. Can’t get much more unbiased than that.
What’s scary is the Treason Weasel getting 71 million and you support him while he scams you once again.
Hillary conceded the very might of the election or did you miss that? Because that’s the way it’s done here. The person with the most votes should win. We’ve had three of those that didn’t win the popular vote since 1980 declared “winners” and every damn time we wind up worse after their term.
Laws yeah laws for some and not for them
With inflation at 40 year highs and if you have a mortgage anything below that rate (September 2022 inflation CPI 8.2%), pay the minimum mortgage payment. This allows more preps with the extra payments. Why pay off a mortgage that will become easier to pay with difference in inflation and your low fixed rate? The bank is losing money on you. The bank WANTS you to pay it off!
@Metal Rat….that works right up until your income disappears.
What do you see it right get out of debt start saving don’t buy gold by silver is cheaper metal but just as valuable in electronics I another government entities by silver
Most people say it’s true, get out of debt, as fast as you can. After that, buy silver not gold. Silver is a cheaper commodity,but just an in electronics ,bit by Silver.
The first idiot with a cell phone will destroy your location.
I just drove 30 miles across a highway in north Mississippi to pick up chicken feed. It occurred to me that it would take a company of soldiers just to cover that small rural area. They wouldn’t get any help from the Sheriff either….you see, we’re neighbors.
guy – that “company of soldiers” would be buzy burning down the store that had that chicken feed – most likely you wouldn’t be needing any feed – your farm would be gone also >>>>
you think the conservative areas of the country are getting any kind of passive control? – just starve and freeze everyone out – anything like a Red State Capitol would be hit by 20 yr old drone operators nibbling on Hot Pockets somewhere across the country >>> suicide bomb drones or missile carriers wiping out the resistance like they did in the Middle East ….
I don’t think you have any idea about how spread out we are down here. But have your fantasy about soy boys playing war games. Rednecks can be mighty resilient.
Farmer I’m in Western Australia. They tried to lock the regions down during COVID (no health care out there), and it was kind of hilarious how hard it was.
We had grey nomads (retirees in caravans) slipping over the border and setting up camp in (very remote) Aboriginal communities (and getting fined), old farming geezers using backroads (and getting fined), people jumping out of hotel windows to avoid quarantine (and getting fined) and people with valid G2G passes (a govt pass system that was put in place for travelling through controlled areas) cancelled mid trip and having to answer why they were getting off a plane without a G2G. My favourite was the person who hid their girlfriend in the boot of the car, was discovered at the (middle of the desert) border, fined, and then drove around a back way (how the hell is there a back way in the Nullarbor?) and did it again. (Fined and jailed)
It was a complete cluster bomb. It took them months to get it sorted, and all it did was create some amazing creativity in people. Bored people, stuck at home, will get around any system. Rural people, where the population is crazy scarce, will ignore the rules and do what they have to to survive. Martial law cannot last long usually.
Nah. From experience. That company of soldiers is posted near a larger population mass, where they are needed for mass security, to ensure the city folk don’t get out of hand. They want to control the masses, not the small number of fringe people. If they control the cities they control (eventually) access to food, fuel, healthcare and communication. Why run around in the bush dealing with individuals when you can just lock the cities down.
If there’s any policing of orders in rural areas it’s down to a couple of local coppers and a ‘dob in line’. Local police will then be tasked with following up complaints, so it’s pointless.
Or just 5 with guns when you don’t have any
chevy: Do you need a gun for night fun? Wood darts soaked in that elixir of line, chili oil. It feels like snake bite when it sticks. How about bees? Indians in Mexico weren’t allowed guns, but in 1910, they used wasp nests, rattlers, and so on. It’s amazing what a little ptomaine poisoning will go to a whole truckload of meat. think about it.
There must be a way to get rid of heat signature, other than living in a cave. Warm bodies glow in the dark on cool nights. All the hard work prepping is for nothing if the chopper spots and eliminates you. Fire becomes our enemy. Solar water heater can cook food without a significant amount of heat projected.
Lol yeah thermal can’t see through glass windows
Make sure you have clothing that is too big for you. If you are the only one around that ISN’T losing weight you become suspect. Also, anytime food or water is given out BE THERE or you will ALSO look suspect. You can always give the food away to neighbors (dole it out in VERY small amounts and to several people or, again, you’ll look suspect.
The ‘give away stash’ is always a good plan. It can be your oldest, out of date stuff but who’s going to look at the dates? I have a stash of old canned good that got lost in the shuffle of moving and are now out in the barn. My husband found them under the stairs to the loft. They are still in good shape but about 9-10 years old. They can HAVE THAT!
You better hang on to cans squirrel, I opened up a can of pork and beans last week from april 2014. The wife thought I was crazy but they were as good as new! The food corperations are all lies.
Earthman, it’s government regs, not food companies. We’re still eating stuff we canned 5 years ago. Just as good now as it was then. niio
Good pickup… participate desperately (like everyone else) in every give away program you can. Spend your time begging in lines (or send your oldest kid) and don’t break out the battery packs if no one else is.
It’s also a good time to hide your military and survival stuff. In martial lockdowns there’s the martial force (the people in charge) and the rest. If you skirt between the gap of the two you are a threat to those in charge. Unless you plan to start a civil war (and have the backing of foot soldiers to do it!) it’s best to keep a low military profile. No need to wear camo pants, or veteran’s stuff while loudly complaining about the current state of affairs. Instead dress grey, act grey, be grey. Greige is the latest fashion in house design – a beige or grey to everything, do that.
Sandgroper, definitely. Liberals have been trying desperately to make us start a war. All they need is an excuse to murder for fun and profit. thanks to folks like Sky News, Americans are being told the truth. niio
They probably already have this list and more but since you’ve posted this, TPTB and any foreign powers now see this as well. They are ready, we are ready – have plan B, and anywhere but these places.
Friends & Family are the first places they would look for you if you need support & if they are targeting you specifically.
Dropping the dollar or should i say Federal Reserve note aka debt instrument has been planned for decades, i remember way back in the early 2,000’s it was being discussed. It’s Fiat, so it will eventually lose all value and return to its intrinsic value of 0 = zero, all of them do and always have.
Best to keep a low profile as possible, stay off cell phones, PC, social media etc. as they can all be traced.
Buy good quality used guns in a p2p state if you live in one and hide them some ware, dig a hole place them in it inside a PVC pipe. The same with extra food, just make sure it is secured, so critters can not cart it away.
Too many things need to be done to mention here, but most are common sense if you just think a little.
Buy quality ammo, not the cheapo junk that misfires all the time. Duty ammo is best, It’s what the LEO’s use because it is reliable. The same with firearms, quality is always best, but it need not be expensive. Ask your self this, would you want to go to the moon on the lowest bidder & why not ?
You can build a quality ar15 for 500 and add roneo 5 red dot for 120.
I forgot to mention. Forget about standard Faraday bags for electronics instead wrap them in watertight plastic place them in a watertight container then bury it at least 3-ft below the top of the container this will protect against a EMP strike & blast damage and the deeper, the better.
The only truth that ever came out of obidens pie hole is when the traitor Fraud obiden said (ON RECORD).”He will send F15 to murder American Citizens.”
If martial law gets that bad, the question should be … “Where will THEY need to hide?”
exactly, where will the “elites” and their supporters hide?
I have some sympathy for the author, its a hard subject to give general information about and one that is imposable for him to be right about regarding my situation. I personally will stay right where I am as long as I can. It would take something like a wild fire or a chemical spill to get me out. If it comes to it I have family about an hour away and an old hunting buddy has remote property less than one tank of gas away. Above all else, when FEMA says they are here to help, DONT GET ON THE BUS.
Yeah. Don’t get on busses! Don’t break up your contacts/network, your neighbourhood, and not with someone with a poor past record!
Jim, you are very mistaken.
What got us here is 50 years of unrestricted ‘subversion’ (following the soviet definition) which should be a crime but isn’t in America, and its subsequent stages of demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization.
The Mcarthyist era was absolutely right about the threat, and wrong about the implemented solution. If you were born after the silent generation, they probably covered this in your history class in grade school (usually before you reach the age of reason), and you probably thought these people were just crazy or stupid, because they did not teach you critical information so it didn’t make sense, and you were young enough to not be able to think critically.
Education in the last 50 years has been changed so children born during and after the boomers, are not taught important things that previous generations knew. Indoctrination and ideological subversion are real things and occur regularly, not just from state actors but also from corporate actors for their own benefit.
There is nothing capitalist about what has been happening. These businesses involved are primarily monopolists that seek consolidation and power at your expense. Its been a long time since the free market and price discovery were actually functioning.
The resulting inequities that people have been experiencing in recent years are most likely related to the result of this subversion. They aren’t stupid, this was planned.
Monopolies have grown more consolidated, ethics violations (high crimes) go unpunished (i.e. government employees with clearance making investment decisions based on privileged access for personal enrichment), Labor employer relations have suffered in a variety of ways, devaluation of currency has occurred, and metals have been intentionally suppressed through various ponzi like schemes.
If you have studied history, you would know with large systems it is first necessary to make a system brittle and then bring it to crisis by gumming the engine up. Once at crisis either a group seizes power via a coup, or a civil war occurs. This is historically triggered by food security, inability to trade, and its associated dependencies which in a industrialized nation revolves mostly around fuel and energy costs (i.e. what makes the division of labor work).
There are a vast number of factors all moving in a single unified direction now, towards a new normal with a centralized power structure, which is an important characteristic element of socialism/communism where you have no property rights and have no incentive to work harder than others and most people won’t know it.
That you think this is Capitalism and somehow different means you either cannot recognize the truth (which Tomas Schuman says only has one outcome for you, if you were to take him at his word, always remembering the source), or you have been seriously misled in your education and experience, or you yourself are a subverter.
Perhaps you should take a more critical eye towards what is actually happening, and educate yourself while following appropriate safeguards.
Most Americans are unfamiliar with the convincing lie and how to deal with deceitfulness in general, and as a result do not pay it the proper respect and thus fall for it.
Its an educational indoctrination problem, recent generations are not important things, in fact they are taught the opposite where they should be taught how to lie, and how to hold people accountable when they lie. Instead they are given the benefit of the doubt which is used to their advantage. Americans are by no means the only people that fall victim to this. Worse are the lies that people want to believe are true (when they aren’t).
This is all a bunch of crap. The U.S. has always been on the road to Hell. Conservatives were terrified of JFK, he was vilified as the worst Commie ever to run for President. Then that idiot takes us a lot closer to real nuclear war with Russia than that idiot Biden has managed to do. Race and anti government demonstrations in the 60’s were hundreds of times bigger than BLM could ever dream of. Talk about Martial (yes you idiots, it’s Martial, not Marshall Dillon) law, millions of young men were arbitrarily snatched up by the government and sent to fight an unconstitutional war in a place that didn’t matter to anyone at all. We gave up city living 35 years ago and been happy ever since. It’s a naturally resilient, self sufficient way of life, the farther you get from Mega Maga, the green wakening, and all the goofy Bible Thumpers the happier you will get. Why are so many people determined to be angry and unhappy?
Well it’s a shame you reject Yah
You seem little bit cranky. Perhaps you could deliver your message with a tad less venom. Your remark about “Bible thumpers” is an indication that you might not recognize that America was built and will only prosper as a moral and just nation.
Arse: JFK was respected as a Moderate fighting liberalism and his nazi father. Nope, we knew the USSR would back down. Communists do not like open confrontation, or chicoms would have invaded long since. Vietnam? Communism stopped at Vietnam. Had we, aussies, and a lot of others not gone, Asia would be communist/nazi. Thanks to the Vietnam war, Vietnamese still favor the US over, as they call it, the northern snakes. Vietnam is in the top ten places for US veterans to retire. The war was not illegal, and soldiers sent there are not criminals. Go back and research; we had made treaties and agreements with small Asian nations during WWII. Me, I’m a happy Bible thumper, which is biblical. I’m happy that I live in Arizona, not raven’s odd state of mind LOL.
You are respected as intelligent, so why the vitriol? Our laws were Bible based. think about the rest of the world where laws are not. Torture, rape, confiscating children to pay taxes or because you dare to say something and your own kid reports you. Try to stop it and you get a bullet or a beating and then arrested for not working to support the masters. That’s the world without the Bible. niio
I am so very weary of all the conspiracy theories and those who believe them. Since some people here don’t even think I should vote, I am even more weary of keeping my mouth shut about it all. Public education can only do so much for those without common sense. Vaccines are not killing us; God won’t save you, only you can; Biden was actually elected president by both popular and electoral vote; Trump was never a good business person, leader, or human being; our government has not worked for the interest of its citizens since at least the 80’s; nobody is coming for our guns because it’s not gonna make them any money. Our government is controlled by the corporations, who are now considered people. Between my screwed up government and the people who actually believe this garbage…..this is why I need a damn bunker. It almost makes me miss the Cold War…….I guess I was happier when I only need the bunker for nukes.
Strange how the atf is going door to door for force reset triggers and when the right loses the mid terms. The assault weapons ban goes into effort
T, if. Arizona is sovereign and all recounts show 2020 was stolen. This is an old Klan trick. a lot of my neighbors are Cali-Mexicans, and if you dare mention 2020 or liberal to them, they tend to get a little unhinged, a little rabid. How many states are now sovereign? niio
J, the problem with conspiracy theories is, we’re all out of them because they all came true. Trump didn’t treble the family fortune by being a bad businessman. He was exactly right for the time. Yes, we have plenty of proof the election was stolen and even liberals are stating that. You are right about votings. I’ve heard too many stories of people who never registered who discovered they had been voting for years, for liberals. FDR was a nazi and that’s where we are today, the inhuman jackass party wants to take permanent control. Nazis are like that.
I agree that the GOP is trying to take the country over. Trump declared bankruptcy 4 times so no I do not believe he is a good business man. He is also a disgusting rapist pig. Trumps own people couldn’t find evidence of a stolen election so he tried to bum rush his way into staying in power. If you think Jan 6th was just a nice outing or that it was all ANTIFA people you are hiding under your blanket. If you want to find Nazis you can find them in any given white power group. My government hasn’t come for my guns but they have made me a 2nd class citizen.
The evidence that the 2020 election was stolen is so massive and irrefutable that only those who refuse to investigate legitimate sources or are intentionally deceptive would argue the point. And I guess you are also ignoring the doctors and scientists around the world who warn against taking the jab and all the people who are dying or experiencing serious side effects after taking it. It is sad that you seem to identify with Ephesians 2:12 – “That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:”
Having lived in the state with the most ridiculed COVID lockdowns (Western Australia) where snap lockdowns could happen with literally an hour’s notice, including the locking away of regional vs metro areas (regional areas have a combination of poor health/aged population and very poor access to medical care)… I feel like I can talk to this issue a little.
Martial law doesn’t always come in a dramatic hit, it can come in many small steps. Closing the roads to regional areas (good bye bug out location) to protect the rural folk. Controlling visitors to hospitals, and then number of people per square foot. Closing gyms and sports centres. We saw a lot of COVID necessary rules come in. There even came a point during the Great Grocery Stampede that people could sign up for delivery of a pre determined box of groceries – set menu, that’s it.
I personally believe if there’s a sudden dramatic event of catastrophic nature then it’s entirely possible these will be reintroduced, or other things like it. The more subtle easing in of restrictions though is like a crab in a pot of water – slowly boiling until you suddenly realise the water is too hot and it’s too late.
Look at your city and it’s layout (if you are urban, those of you already far out in nice comfy rural ares ignore this bit). My city has a spine of freeways, and a river. It’s very easy to chop it with closing of a few major arterials into a north/south and an east / west (and the money and beaches are west in a nicely contained area). Grab a map and play a game of “If I wanted to cripple this city’s transport how would I do it?”
While all the law enforcement it tied up enforcing martial law, what happens to everything else? If there’s stay at home orders then stay at home… anyone out and about will be noticed fast. If you want to bug out still work out when and how. Take your time, and I’d go with two hours before dawn, with a reasonable expectation to have to lie low during the day until you can go further.
Think through drones and heat seeking tech. You can spot animals and people from the sky by night now. How will you mitigate that if they get very serious about stopping you?
Get out early. Or sit quietly for a while until the dust settles is my thinking. Some people will think that waiting a little while just gives longer for the authorities to build stronger controls, but over time they get bored, complacent, distracted or lift them as it becomes obvious some controls aren’t working the way they wanted. Wait for those moments instead, even if it’s a few weeks. Bug in, gather intel, then bug out.
A tight neighbourhood community would be essential under martial law. Your neighbours are your best safety. If you are not dobbing each other in that’s a start. Better would be sharing food and intel, and covering each other’s yards in night patrols to keep the area safe. Best would be all of that, plus when the goon squads come to ‘commandeer your food’ standing outside with you wailing and gnashing teeth about how they are starving you and they can’t take that last kilo of flour! … protecting the community resource.
Make sure you’ve hidden your preps well, make sure any maps or meds or bug out plans or survival gear is stashed where the goons can’t get to it (and guess your plans). Set up a couple of discreet (no CB for this one) communication paths around your community… and maintain community diplomacy at any reasonable cost. That’s what will get you through martial law.
It’s rare for martial law to last a long time… it’s too expensive and difficult to do. The sheer manpower, hatred, malevolence and skullduggery that happens makes it a waste of time/resources. The tightest martial law usually lifts within a few weeks (except China, there’s some crazy that happens there!) so hold tight, plan quietly, live quietly, and test the boundaries every so often just enough that you can work out how you will slip out when the chance comes.
G’day. I had the unique pleasure to live and work in Canberra from 2004 to 2006. To say that was the high point of my world experiences would be a gross understatement. The people, the freedom and of course the food are forever etched in my memory. As I watched things unfold down there during the convid fiasco, I began to truly understand the dark and evil heart of man. I sincerely hope Australia can recover to its former glory.
We’re doing pretty well… one man’s prison is another man’s freedom.
I’m a fan of Australia’s handle on things. Our COVID response was a bit eye opening, but each state did it their own way, and I’m glad I was in WA. The death rates in NSW and VIC were awful, nothing like some of the rest of the world, but still ugly. The borderlands between NSW and QLD were problematic – a line on a map doesn’t respect the fact that there’s twin cities there and people who live between them – that got hard when one state would close but not the other. A more unified approach there would have helped and the lack of flexibility or common sense and diplomacy between the states was educational (I think the area should all just be handed over to Qld, redraw the borders further south in a country area with less people).
The freedoms in WA were impressive. We had a couple of lockdowns pre Omicron where we’d get a press conference at 130 and by 3pm were all expected to lock down/follow new rules – that was stressful but it meant that we were literally free the rest of the time. A traveller with COVID would dodge quarantine or do something stupid (like the person who gave COVID to a dozen people via the happy ending massage parlour)… and we’d all get locked down until it was stamped out – a couple of weeks a couple of times over 18mths isn’t that great a price to pay.
Even VIC which likes to brag/moan about it’s ‘strictest lockdown world wide’ was still allowed out to exercise, work, study and for shopping and appointments. They just weren’t allowed out for partying, pubs, movies, eating out in public (take away was fine) and other high risk activities. And even that they fluffed up because they had constant widespread community transmission. If they’d all bunkered down they’d have been out in a couple of weeks or a month like WA was.
It was interesting. And a great prepping experience. I learnt a LOT about the powers our government can (and can’t) exercise, and it’s featuring in future plans for me. I will be long gone if I can be, or sit tight and bug in if I can’t and wait…. There is not permanency to the martial control, people get too restless, they find ways around and through it. Black markets thrive, prohibition fails, martial law is a limited tool.
Sandgroper: I beg to differ. Earth saw generations of royalty-owned nations, all run by martial law. Royals or not, they were still dictatorships. The worst thing to happen to dictatorships was colonizing the Americas. We were open democracies and republics. No royal classes. Leaders were elected. Women were often civil leaders. Europe had not seen a republic since Julius Cesar took over. this inspired hundreds of thinkers, and led to one revolution after another. If someone like the warlord of the Aztec screwed up, he was invited to go to war and left to die, something they saw as honorable. No, sheep will huddle from dictators. But, there’s always a few who remember and talk and teach and often die for their beliefs. Best temporary survival advice is the song Silent Running. niio
Every time I see something like this, it’s always “your rights are suspended”. That is actually not true ! Though the cops etc. did it during the hurricane Sandy(?), when they confiscated weapons. Our rights per the Constitution are not and can not be suspended or anything such ! Yeah it’s written into it, but ppl just aren’t educated enough to know that..
A bit of *un/fun?
The West Australian Police recently were in a bit of a budget argument with the WA Govt, and to make a political stand for more funding for gun control (let’s not get into that debate here, we all know what a lot of people think about Australian Gun Control), they published a mock up of a map of every registered fire arm, on the front page of the local newspaper, with the by line “A gun on every street”. (Including a zoomable online version). It was quickly taken down, but a lot of people had raised an alarm.
The issue was… the mock up wasn’t a mock up, and people were able to find themselves in that data. So now every astute criminal in the state has a map of registered gun owners and probable locations to try for them. Guns are kept in gun safes, but this isn’t going to help the B&E / robbery rates!
Complete eff up that was! But it also made me incredibly aware that the police do have this data, and it’s really easily available, and if martial law or anything else ever happens they can absolutely hunt those guns up fast. (If you are ever charged with a crime, have a DVO or a suspect and have a gun licence you will have the police at your door over that super fast too. People with DVOs against them are not allowed to have a gun for the duration of the order.)
“For the most part, if you are a law-abiding citizen, there is little to fear from the imposition of martial law in your area.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA !!!!
Yeah, because soldiers with shoot to kill orders who have rules of engagement written by power made psychopaths called “politicians” will absolutely act like Boy Scouts.
JFC, is this author for real? Hey there, Mikey, did you see that speech Biden made, where be called any American who disagreed with him a “fascist” That POS has declared war on half of America, and you’re still blathering this garbage about “Law abiding” and “innocent”

The military will shoot its own people

Dan is a SPAMMER promoting his garbage website to exploit the gullible, but he did get one thing right-
When the fuel is depleted to the point commercial goods are no longer distributed, including food, medical supplies, and fuels for domestic use, we will see this F*** Joe Biden imposed Recession turn into an intentionally manipulated Depression. Will people riot? Will they revolt? Will they be willing to perform a REAL Armed Insurrection and eliminate these elitist Socialist/Communists?
Prepare yourselves not just for your own survival, but the survival of our very unique and valuable Constitutional Republic. Please come to terms what you are willing to do to protect what you love, prepare accordingly, and be willing to take action if required.
chevy: Do you need a gun for night fun? Chili oil was used to soak darts made of wood. When it sticks, it feels like a snake bite. Why not bees? In 1910, Indians in Mexico couldn’t have guns, so they used wasp nests, rattlers, and other things. It’s amazing what a little bit of ptomaine poisoning can do to a whole truckload of meat. Consider it.
