How can you protect your family?

 

What can the common man do to protect himself and family?

We live in a time when life, health, and humanity are threatened like never before. We believed we were the most intelligent civilization ever, taking pride over technological developments, but those developments itself have threatened our very existence.

Our industrial civilization charted its own path unmindful of lessons from the past.  Suffering from the ravages of two world wars and consequent disruptions people believed in the narrative and hoped things would improve.

Comforts improved, status improved, assets increased, entertainment became accessible to all,  and people, infatuated by promises, raced to fit themselves into the new paradigm so they would not miss the bus.

They gained many things. What they lost was ethics, health, happiness, contentment, family bonds, friendship, community strength, and peace of mind.

While earlier civilizations concentrated on nature and development of life in accordance with nature, the current civilization decided to triumph over nature, neglect human values, and concentrate on building a world based on artificial constructs that go against natural laws.

Consequently we have built a world encased in a bubble that is breaking apart as nature seeks to assert the natural laws that sustain the world. The best of brains have been warning since the last 50 years that such a scenario is inevitable.

Now that the scenario has arrived, what can we do to protect ourselves and our families? As we are compelled to think on these lines shocked by global developments, it is time to admit that there are no clear answers.

We are completely dependent on the system. When the system fails it is bound to take us down with it.

All over the globe we witness the rise of a group that call themselves "preppers". They have been preparing for the fall of civilization fuelled by many belief systems.

I was a member in some groups (American and Japanese) where for many years the members have been spending their leisure time building bases in forests and far away places. They have chosen places near water sources, built cottages, kept resources, and engaged in natural farming practices. These groups appear to be very sure that a total collapse is imminent.

Are they right or are they wrong? Are they a deranged unhinged community? Are they conspiracy theorists?

We have a distinct group of people who have assiduously built the unnatural world that houses and sustains us. They have engineered and funded the whole thing.

They ought to feel safe within the structure they have so painstakingly built. They ought to feel protected. They have manpower, they have wealth, they have the agencies they have built. They are the most powerful community in the world.

Dr Catherine Austin Fitts, an insider turned whistleblower who speaks on several issues confronting the world has recently revealed something that ought to make us all sit up and take notice.

The wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet are also a community of "preppers"!

While earlier we had news that the big names; Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Mask etc have built huge bunkers under their mansions, something more startling has come to the fore.

The system has spent trillions of dollars building huge underground cities that are well stocked to last for at least 20 to 40 years. They have their own power systems, facilities, and even sports grounds and swimming pools. They are not going to miss anything while they wait it out.

What are they doing it? What do they fear? The most important thing is what do they know that we do not?

Are they afraid of a nuclear apocalypse? Are they afraid of asteroid strikes? What extraordinary event are they preparing for?

Will their actions itself trigger it? We note with alarm developments like;

• Linking one and everything to a central grid; something that Trump seems destined to do
• Coming era of transhumanism that is the favorite topic of philanthropists
• The extraordinary rise of AI that is threatening human decision making and reason
• Genetic modification of crops, food and organisms; the Covid vaccines, it has emerged, has deeply changed humanity
• The extreme toxic assault on the planet and its inhabitants; flora and fauna
• The pretense of the green economy and green products that are poised to destroy whatever is left
• The attempt to hijack all of planetary resources under the pretence of stopping climate change
• The intended extensive depopulation; opinions about which are being aired for general consumption

These itself are enough to ensure a total collapse. Are the powerful intending to wait out that collapse so they can emerge to reign again?

Now the time has come for us to stop running after an imaginary future and contemplate our present extreme vulnerability. We may soon witness events beyond our control and find that those who ought to protect us have disappeared, taking shelter in the bunkers they have carefully built over the past many decades.

This is a distinct possibility.

We are totally dependent on the system. Our wealth is paper money and bank deposits. Our source of food is supermarkets. Our water comes through pipes. We cannot do without the internet and electricity.

Imagine a situation when all this is gone. The currency system collapses, the power grid collapses, the supply chain vanishes, and the markets are empty. Imagine that there are no replenishments on the way. Imagine that the magnitude of the event is so great that everything is affected.

Implausible? Then why the underground bunkers and underground cities? The powerful could have survived regardless of their geographical situation is it not? Why isolate from the surface?

This note is to make you pause and think. What are you going to do? What steps do you take to protect your near and dear ones?

I think we should envy those fringe elements who have been preparing silently for something that they feel is coming.

We can only prepare for the short term.

• We can keep cash at home
• We can keep provisions for about two to three months
• We can stock essentials
• We can prepare for a prolonged power outage
• We can keep stock of the medicines we will need

Beyond this is something that may not be possible as an individual. You can survive for a longer period as a community. Do you have one? Or have you ditched it in your attempt to become modern?

Currently it is time to envy the poor who are forced to think about tomorrow. It is time to envy those who can live off the land. It is time to envy those who have stayed outside the ambit of our civilization.

A recent news items points out that a past extinction level event left only a few thousand people alive on the planet.

Will we be on that list of survivors?
