While The Internet Is Still Up, a Reminder: “Be at Full Readiness and Far Away from Cities Before the Election in November”
July 19th, 2024The attempted assassination of Donald Trump is definitely a deep event.
Joe Biden is profoundly impaired and his own party seems to want him gone.
We are experiencing a global IT systems disruption that might be a test run for something bigger.
If you think all this is a coincidence you are an idiot.

As we head toward the election, I thought that I should reiterate my advice from back in February:
It is possible, maybe even likely, that nothing unusual will happen. (“Nothing unusual,” assumes that you understand that many major U.S. cities are already existing in what I’d consider to be a state of collapse.)
Privately, I have been advising people inside the U.S. to be at full readiness and far away from cities before the election in November. What full readiness means will vary from person to person. At a minimum, I suggest that your definition should include:
– A means to avoid freezing to death
– Adequate water and food for your group
– High capacity weapons and ammunition (with everyone in your group trained extensively in their use)
– Fuel / electricity
– First aid kit
– Communications (Internet, mobile phone, TV, AM/FM radio, CB, shortwave, ham, etc.). However, assume that the Internet and mobile phone networks will be totally or partially down.
I went one further and left the country permanently in 2022 (my wife and I determined that it would be no later than 2023, as 24 was likely to be a shitshow). I do miss my old neighbourhood, but don’t miss the US one iota.
