Listen now | We need to be ready for where this all may eventually end up. if things go from bad to worse, you won’t have much time to prepare if you wait too long to create a backup plan to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Pay attention friends… the orange one is the clown distraction while the republicans in legislative and judicial branches of government sign away our freedoms!
Thank you for this plan I am sharing this with a few friends. We are in the process of a few things, generator, cash on hand, documents stored in fire protected safe, one passport new, one passport have two years, tried to renew, would not let me because it is not close enough to expiration date. Loading up my pantry best I can. Need to freeze credit reporting agencies. Problem - our main source of income comes from our retirement account through our financial planner. The other source is SS. Both of those avenues are fixed in place so my only source of income is what ever cash is on hand. Not sure how to alter that, it gives me much concern. I appreciate the “plan” but I can’t close up all the “cracks” if things get really bad. Plus, still have many friends and family that think I am crazy, even though they see what is happening. My dad WWII vet, 20 years Army (RIP Sarge), I know what happened back then, I grew up with the knowledge but younger generations are not looking to the history books, just getting sound bites from tainted cable news. They can’t tolerate the doomsday conversation.
I'm glad you're taking steps. It's hard to do it all, but some preparation is better than none. We hope it doesn't come to this scary outcome. But it sure has before, as history teaches us.
Please explain this to me. Sm I only one who hasn’t heard about what found like doomsday coming?
I heard thru a Jim Rickard’s prediction about April 11th- WD your $$$ out ahead if it yo have cash on hand as have extra supplies best you can.
Sounds like a WW3 may be coming? Ugh. I never thought I’d see the day. Who’s responsible for guys — out Prez who created the chaos?
I have froze all 3 of my credit bureaus already. But I’ll double check tomorrow to be sure
However I’m receiving SS & my monthly fixed income goes to my checking account. Now what’ll I do? 😪
You’re scaring me. But in a good way to prepare me.
I wonder if SSA will split my money into two places? I can ask I guess
I heard today the Russian popular newspaper or radio or Media will be replacing our 2 popular media. Why. We don’t speak Russian.?
Communication - I live alone. I don’t know how anyone would know I’m even alive. Scarey. 😳
You’re very smart yo know all this stuff. Thank you for sharing with us. But I’m stressed as to what to do first. Hope you have a To Do list you can share! 🙏
Oh yes—- electricity if utilities are shut off. How to keep warm - have electricity for lights & heat! Yikes.
Cable - Internet & WiFi.
Telephone for communication
My RX’s get delivered by YS ms. Hope #47 doesn’t take over USPS as he wants to do - even though he thinks he can take it over no matter what.
Oh my documents! Yikes!
Photos! Look at all we take for granted!
Clothing. Medicines. A cooler to pack some food & water in.
I’ve never had a Passport / started applying but haven’t finished it. Guess I’d better now.
I’ll talk to my family who lives nearby about something going on.
They love our Prez though (I don’t) so when I mentioned 4/11 maybe not able to WD $$ they laugh at me & say our great leader wouldn’t do such things to them. Hmmm.
I’d be alive looking to make new friends I guess. 😪
If you’d like to chat me separately — since I’m just hedging these things - feel free. Glad to be prepared.
I'm sorry. I don't want to scare you. I just want people to be prepared and safe. Hopefully, we won't need to use our preparations. We can hope!
It helps to find local friends and organizations that are less trusting of Trump and Musk. We have a progressives organization that meets every month to discuss things, helps each other, and plan next steps. Maybe you could find some trustworthy local friends who could help!
Thank you kindly for the follow up. I’m quite worried because of our leaders — rather co-leaders -.& not knowing what they’re planning. They’re vicious & vindictive & have no empathy at all for mankind. I’ll try finding groups I can talk with in my area & hopefully I’ll get lucky sooner rather than later! 🙏
Again, many thanks for trying to console me. I just need guidance & information on preparing to be ready no matter what I guess.
People laughed at me when I mentioned 4/11 of the other gentleman’s prediction (Jim Rickard’s ) on our financial firms They need to keep a neutral outlook of “what if” as I don’t want anything to happen to anyone I care about or anyone period.
So..time will tell. If you can think of any newsletters or books I can read that’s helpful for me, I’d appreciate it.
Meantime. Stay safe & take good care You’re a very kind & considerate person sharing your knowledge with the world who’s listening. Thanks!
Let me first say you have some very good ideas but I have so many questions...
If assets are frozen, what good is it going to do to have money in different banks?
And payment apps, if we lose all communications as you suggested, again, what good are they if you can't access them?
You said "...However, if we lose all means of communication, ..." if that happens, what's the point of having you money in different banks or in another country? You wouldn't be able to get to it.
And lastly, run instead of standing up for what is right? Who will be left to fight for what is right if everyone up and leaves?
Thanks for the questions! By no means am I an expert on surviving the collapse of a nation. I wish, but I'm just learning and trying.
I'm still here, fighting the good fight as long as we can. However, if the day comes that our own military and police turn against us, we will lose that fight. Many will be imprisoned and many will die.
The average citizen will not stand a chance against our modern military. And I will never recommend that regular people take that risk. I would rather folks leave and survive to fight from the outside, not from inside a prison camp.
Diversifying accounts helps if not all US banks freeze assets simultaneously. Some will refuse to comply for awhile and that buys us time to move money. Accounts outside the U.S. are a good idea.
I'd hate to try to start life over in another country with no money. So, you will be able to access your assets if that happens and you have an account elsewhere.
If this nation falls (I hope it doesn't, of course) and you are in a friendly country, you'll have internet access there to communicate with loved ones and use your assets.

You said "...What event would trigger your warning bells and signal you no longer feel safe here?..." Can you elaborate on that statement? What do you mean by "unsafe"? If I'm Joe Shmow, why would i feel unsafe? Now on the other hand, if I've been super vocal and a stand out in the crowd, maybe so.
And finally, and you haven't actually said it, but what is taking place for all these horrible things to take place?
Fascists attack easier targets first. So, most people will feel safe initially ("Hey, it's not happening to me!").
But, they will expand their targets to include anyone they feel opposes them, disagrees with them, or could be a threat.
For example, I would feel unsafe if:
- Martial law is declared.
- Travel is restricted.
- Women lose the right to vote.
- Political opponents start being jailed.
- Legitimate citizens are forcibly detained or deported.
We are already seeing unconstitutional executive orders being carried out (e.g., illegal firings, freezing federal funding, access to government databases). So, I have no doubt that more is coming.
Federal workers, if you see a pile of DOGE shit, call MAGA. They want to take him back to the capitol. He’s got a lot of splaining to do. DOGE wants to take the new Air Force One to last red hat rally in Red Square?? No invitation??
They know their king is dead. They know Don is gone.

Another question. (see I told you I had a lot)
You said "...What event would trigger your warning bells and signal you no longer feel safe here?..." Can you elaborate on that statement? What do you mean by "unsafe"? If I'm Joe Shmow, why would i feel unsafe? Now on the other hand, if I've been super vocal and a stand out in the crowd, maybe so.
