Spread The Word About The Need To Prep

April 6, 2018by PreparedMotherNo Comments
spread the word about the need to prep

Spread the Word

Most of us agree, the shit is gonna hit the fan. While we can’t predict what is finally going to cause it, we all have our favored scenarios…. what we think is going to finally cause the cheese to slide off the cracker. In the end, the best we can do is to prepare for the worst.
 
Or is it? Is that the absolute best we can do? The best I can do? That’s a question I asked myself years ago. What now? I’ve got all my preps lined up and plans in place, what now?
 
That’s why I started The Prepared Mind channel, to do MORE than what I thought was the best I could do. I am not a violent man, and I take zero pleasure in the thought of turning people away in SHTF. I’m not saying that I won’t, because ultimately that will have to be done. But I’m not going to enjoy it. So I thought, “What if I could convince more people to prep?”
 
Here I am almost 4 years later, making videos about prepping and hoping that I can help wake people the fuck up to the fact that the world is not unicorns and rainbows and our existence is teetering on a razor’s edge. That the .gov will not be enough to save them on what will certainly be the worst day of their lives. That they need to THINK about the bowl of shit soup they’re slurping up like ice cream. WAKE UP!
 
I read comments every day that tell me I’m a wacko, idiot, sellout, schill, scumbag or worse. But I also hear from people that thank me for waking them up, making them think, starting them on the road to prepping. And that, my friends, is what it’s all about.
 
So, by all means and with a quickness, get your own shit together. Once you’ve managed that, or maybe while you’re still working on it, help spread the word and wake people up. Because whether you like it or not, we’re all in this together.
And a Plan!

I don’t give a shit what a company’s political beliefs are. If, however, that company decides to punish someone for their political stance, then I choose to demonstrate my displeasure by not giving them my money. In short, the following list of companies have decided to take a stand against our God given rights as human beings and as Americans, and thereby I consider them undeserving of my patronage. For good measure, each store name is also a link to their Facebook page. In case you’d like to leave them a note to tell them how you feel about their attack upon our freedoms.

The Petro-Yuan and Fiat Currency

The Petro-Yuan and Fiat Currency

Guest Post, Patrick Alaggio

[The Petro-Yuan and Fiat Currency?] The move away from the petro-dollar has been going on for years, particularly from the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and their growing list of new allies and business partners. While the sheeple have been going on their merry ways believing the US economy is “stronger than ever” or that “unemployment is at and all time low” those of us who are awake see the lies for what they are… pure propaganda to keep the dying petro-dollar alive a little longer.
. Meanwhile, China has been leading the way to an entirely independent system of finance and trade that will REPLACE the petro-dollar and reduce our status in the world economy to a much lower level. While we murder, plunder and rape the resources of independent nations to force them to continue doing business OUR WAY (or get a bullet to the head), China has been INVESTING in their trading partners and building meaningful alliances and basing trade on whatever assets that country has to offer… without the USA involved in any way what-so-ever. The ONLY reason our economy is still alive is because of the deals done behind the scenes that allow the Chinese alliance to acquire gold at ridiculously low prices so they do not dump our treasury bonds all at once onto the market and destroy the petro-dollar overnight. Just look up the HUGE energy deal China struck with Russia… all without the petro-dollar and that trend continues to accelerate as more and more countries move away from our tyrannical system.
. We are likely to see a 50% decline in the purchasing power of our dollar in the coming year. We will also see two dollars in play at the same time; 1) the international dollar used along with the Petro-Juan in a “basket of global currencies” and out of our direct control to manipulate to our unique advantage, and, 2) an internal US dollar that will be used to buy goods within the USA. According to some experts that USA dollar will, upon issuance, be worth only 70 cents and it will be devalued again shortly thereafter by another 30%, bringing its worth down to 49 cents versus the current devalued dollar we spend today.
. This is part of the behind the scenes plan to keep us from skyrocketing into hyperinflation overnight and throwing the entire world into turmoil. This is also why I have continually advised John’s subscribers to get what you NEED now as if it were on sale… because it is. We are likely to see many more of our international orders unfulfilled because of the rejection of our phony treasury bonds, which are printed up in our legalized counterfeiting practices. These orders will not be filled until we pay for them in real assets; gold, oil, lumber, NON-GMO food, etc. and this will cause the price of ALL imports to double or triple overnight and the cheap overseas goods we are all used to will simply evaporate.
. The ONLY bright side I see is still an unknown. What if President Trump’s Executive Order and 9,800 PLUS sealed indictments truly has enough teeth to TAKE BACK the wealth stolen from us? If we can grab hundreds of billions and eventually tens of trillions of dollars for our nation via this RICO ACT TREASURY ASSAULT against the globalists then that would buy enough time for our shrewd President to put his brilliant business acumen to work for “we the people”. If these dozens of flights that have been turned around, or headed for GITMO to amp up the capability of that military justice system, if all of those mobilized National Guard can serve the growing prison population, if the Military Tribunals are able to provide the justice that our corrupted system has been so sadly lacking; then THE SKY IS THE LIMIT in what we can accomplish. This is my greatest hope for our future and one that we couldn’t have even dreamt of if the witch had won. Instead, we might be treated to a hanging to convince her husband to give up the keys to the wealth reserves, that can be seized and retrieved with or without his permission. Then, add the illegal wealth gained since Prescott Bush and his traitorous family, the Rockefellers, the Saudis, the Gates & Carnegie Foundations, the military industrial complex, HALIBURTON, the pharmaceutical medical complex and on and on through the drug-dealing, human trafficking pedophile networks around the world… and yes, then there are those substantial take-backs from the Rothshilds.
. THEY will try to bring us to WORLD WAR to prevent OUR direct attack upon THEM. Don’t allow it… DEMAND the continuation of the war plan that President Trump has already waged and throw him every ounce of your support. Then, when it is under control and the justice system has been purged of the TRAITORS, DEMAND that he revoke that EXECUTIVE Order and allow the courts to start doing their jobs… properly with equality for all.
And a Plan!

Prepared Prognostications for SHTF

December 31, 2017by PreparedMotherNo Comments

In Response to, “Prepared Prognostications for SHTF”

Guest Post by Patrick Alaggio

 

I guess it’s my turn to play “Angel’s Advocate”. With the recent news of over 9,000 sealed indictments, the inside scoops from Q, the verification of many arrests from various sources I am feeling quite optimistic actually. I’ve got my portable buddy fired up and my FOUR YEAR OLD home canned chicken soup on the stove.
.
I think China WILL pick up the ball and run with the situation in North Korea and that we won’t allow that 60+ year old dead-lock to escalate into a hot war. I believe President Trump already made his desires known to the Chinese and that both countries will agree that it will be far better for them to deal with their own back yard than for us to come in and start raising Hell.
.
I think there will be optimism in the land as “we the people” see big rotten stinky swamp creatures duck walked out in hand cuffs by the dozens and then hundreds and many more trying to avoid capture, whereupon our global alliances and networks will reel them in… some harder than others but all in the inevitable net that has already been cast by the top military elite that is backing our President. We will see arrests, prosecutions and a large inflow of new inmates into Guantanamo and OUT of the halls of OUR government.
.
I’m pretty sure Soros will die and that many big names will commit “suicide”, the only question will be; was it from their own hand?? I’ll give that a big 50/50 as we start tracking these pedophiles down like the rabid dogs that they are and wiping them off the face of the earth.
.
I think China and Russia, along with all of the other BRICS nations and their expanding alliances, will continue to make progress towards defeating the petro-dollar and making this KING of all fiat currencies a thing of the past. I also believe that this downfall will be more of a “withering on the vine” scenario versus a global catastrophic crash because these ancient cultures are simply too wise to stick a sharp stick in our eye when they already know that they can simply wait patiently, gather more gold at ridiculously low prices and surround us with their gold backed petro-Yuan and deal amongst themselves within their new market that totally ignores our corrupted systems. NOTE: This exact strategy was used in my industry (telecommunications) to surround the proprietary mainframe world of IBM with a distributed “open architecture” with advanced software written in C, C++, UNIX and wherever it went from there. New applications were up and running in no time and the old dinosaurs with godzillions of lines of code (and only a dead end in their future) were also allowed to wither on the vine rather than try to replace that massive capital investment. Who rules today? Distributed open architecture.
.
That means when the petro-dollar dies, and that is an inevitability, all of those dollars that are now overseas in the form of treasury bonds are going to come back to America and buy, buy, buy and then buy some more cheap land, broken businesses and entire cities! (Except for those dollars we will simply seize from the Saudi’s and re-pocket.) There are going to be entire cities rising out of the ashes they will look like modern “new-born” cities, albeit from China’s culture and under their business control and those regions will prosper with good jobs and conservative honest leadership will prevail. I truly believe that WILL BE a good thing and it sure beats the alternative, corruption, poison water, decay, rot and hopelessness. Honest work will be brought into those communities and the Americans will have respectable jobs and they will rebuild their neighborhoods. SO WHAT if their bosses happen to be Chinese, or Indian, or GOD FORBID – RUSSIANS!! The smart families will teach their children Mandarin and Cantonese. Oh, and guess what? The children of this new wave of hard-working smart immigrants will be AMERICANS! I call that a win/win and so will President Trump!
.
That scenario is a hell of a lot better than mass chaos and war (as desired by the bankers and globalists) but it will necessitate what Jim Willie (AKA: “The Golden Jackass”) calls the “Scheiße dollar”, which will be an inside the USA only currency. We will have a new America dollar that will be devalued in steps; twice, as per Jim and I trust his team’s learned opinion. The first 30% devaluation will mean our new dollar will be worth $.70 and the second 30% devaluation, which could occur within a matter of months, will bring it down to $.49. That is the price for our previous greed and failure to trade honestly but it does NOT mean we must go to war to defend the petro-dollar. That my fellow patriots is what the bankers and globalists want and usually get in order to put us all deeper in debt, under THEIR total control and remove them from the precarious corner THEY currently find themselves in; BUT NOT THIS TIME because we have a leader who IS GOING AFTER THEM and an internet (over distributed communications) that allows us to communicate better than ever before. So the main point I am trying to make here is; if you need something important then consider it to be on sale and buy it now BEFORE our eroding dollar falls to its knees virtually overnight.
.
When this occurs EVERYTHING that is imported will cost a small fortune when compared to today… two or even three times current costs and that is IF we can even get it AND avoid massive hyperinflation, which I believe President Trump is uniquely equipped to negotiate a safe pathway through for us. This is not a time for war unless you are a globalist and don’t want to have all of your illegal assets STOLEN back, as per President Trump’s BRAND NEW executive order. Imagine, the Clinton Foundation, the Bush’s wealth, all of off shore accounts FROZEN until these criminals can disprove the charges! Ain’t that a big kick in the balls to the Weinstein’s and the bankster’s and all of their demon minions?
.
So I’ll be raising a glass of cheer to our President and to our Generals and all of the brave men and women both home and abroad who are already involved in this unique warfare. We have waited a very long time but WE HAVE REACHED CRITICAL MASS and the game is now on. I would hope that all of you join in a prayer to protect our President, his family and all of the patriots who have been (and will be) engaged in this struggle. I didn’t say it would be painless, there will be losses but I see the other side and it is a beautiful future we are fighting for, it is not only for ourselves and our country it is for the children of the world and WE OWN the moral high ground. I think Sun Tzu would approve of our position and NOT because he was Chinese but because he too would recognize the wisdom of a unified front against the globalists / Zionists / Fascists / Neo-Cons / Communist’s / Nazi’s … pick your preferred label they are all roads that lead into Hell. I for one am taking a different path… God bless our Constitutional Republic and all who defend it.

And a Plan!

Prepper Considerations for SHTF

November 9, 2017by PreparedMother1 Comment

 Prepper Considerations for SHTF

Guest Post by Patrick Alaggio

Get Local

We are all going to have to GET LOCAL and figure out how WE can survive TOGETHER. The alternative is to watch die (or possibly kill) every starving mother and father who is doing everything and ANYTHING they must to feed their children. Personally I would rather die of starvation along side of my neighbors than to watch them rip each other apart in a survival frenzy. If you are finished prepping and are currently “protecting your (so-called) wealth” then may I humbly suggest that you STOP buying silver and buy another days food rations for 50 people. Our food travels an average of 1,500 miles to get into our supermarkets and our “just in time” inventory means there IS NO reserve in the basement as it was when I was young. The stores will be emptied out in a matter of hours and the increases in price for gas will keep the truck drivers home, especially when our starving families start targeting them to get at this precious commodity.

 

Steal it Back

Many months back I got into a rather lengthy debate about “stealing it back” and the supposed immorality of my position was argued by good citizens that felt it was wrong to STOP paying credit card debt to (only) the banks that have been convicted of laundering drug money and have stolen TRILLIONS of dollars from us through their endless scams. If you are poor then MAX OUT YOUR CARDS and buy the essentials to keep your family alive. SO WHAT if these monsters of the global banking cartels don’t get paid. SO WHAT IF THEY TRY AND HARASS a hundred million of us who have taken this peaceful form of revolution. Turn off the ringers in your phone, stack up their threatening letters and put them in a pile that you can burn to keep you warm. Then BUY EVERYTHING you need to complete your family’s plan. If you’re worried about your precious credit rating then realize that it is just a mechanism to keep you in THEIR cage.

Do you think you’re prepared?

If you THINK you’re prepared then try doing the tests I have done, albeit not all at once, but a piece at a time so I could fill in the gaps in my plan. Can you survive the winter in your area with only what you have now? If the heat and electricity go out can you survive? If the water turns into muck do you have a way to procure and cleanse enough to get your family through 90 to 120 days? If your toilets won’t flush do you know how to get rid of waste safely or will you contribute to the upcoming plagues because of improper sanitation? What if the gas goes off or there is no delivery… how will you cook? $150 solutions ARE available! (A $30 single propane stove top like GAS ONE makes and cases of fuel from Amazon to drive it… $26 per 12 can case… Five cases and a stove for $150!) Then there is lighting, medical considerations, shelter and clothing for our families (i.e. BOOTS, wool socks, hats and gloves) etc.

We’ve been all over this stuff for many years on John’s channel but how many of us could actually make it through 3 to 6 months if everything went south (TONIGHT at 12 midnight) and every modern convenience you have grown to depend upon simply disappears? How’s that big screen TV looking to you now? Now consider that many, if not most of us on this channel, have been through these exercises and are READY but WE KNOW the VAST MAJORITY of the population is either clueless or in denial that it can happen here in the good ole USA. Normalcy bias is not going to go away… these people will die en masse and those of us who are left standing must decide what we could, should and would do based upon our own unique situations and where we live.

Where are you going?

Obviously, if you live in a city you’re FU@*ED, unless you have a way to grow a lot of food on roof tops as a few creative people have begun to work on… but that is too little too late but provides an avenue to be pursued in the future. So where are you going? When will you leave and what are your alternative plans for getting there if the gas lines are too long, the fuel runs out, the roads are jammed with starving masses of people who are JUST LIKE YOU. How long do you think the thin veneer of humaneness will last? I’m lucky, I’ve lived in a remote area for 20 years with a very small population of mainly families that have been here for many generations. These people came from farming families and while most of them are not directly involved in that now they know HOW to return to their roots. Helping out in a scenario like mine is possible because if WE can get through the winter without killing each other then WE CAN SURVIVE WORKING TOGETHER WITHOUT GOVERNMENT stealing from us.

This is not the time to be proud… not to steal it back because of our naive morays that were implanted into us by the government run public school ‘SYSTEM” that has been lying to us from the time we could listen. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET READY BEFORE the clock strikes midnight and the lights go out. “When liars lead only cowards, accomplices and the feeble minded follow.” So why is anyone following the lead of our corrupted government? Find your own way and decide what is best for your family and I’ll give you a little hint; it’s not your credit score!
