What is the point of being fiscally conservative or not spending every last bit of money on yourself while it lasts if the politicians are just going to use it to import refugees, send the money to Israel or Ukraine, or bailing out failed corporations if you don’t? It’s an irrefutable argument, and this is why Clown World will inevitably, and necessarily, turn against its own sacred cow of democracy before it collapses.
I was asked about my thoughts concerning prepper communities in an email. Rather than respond to the individual, I decided to write an article concerning what I have learned in the past sixteen years.
The foundation of success is strong leadership, consensus of goals, culture and faith. When I first embarked on this path in 2008, my concern was the future of our children’s liberty. I had absolutely no understanding of the level of the Deep State’s treason and evil. People started to awaken and form groups on a local level or became a chapter of a larger organization. I started to coordinate 912 and TEA party groups across the state under the NCFreedom.us umbrella. The more active we became, the more aware we became of the what I now consider to be the beginning of a civil war.
As Obamanation took hold over the country, most of the leaders in the freedom movement realized that the Republic was doomed. The exceptions were those who were masquerading in the freedom movement to advance their political agendas or ambitions. This led to the rise of prepper groups and assorted literature on how to setup a successful group. I was involved in several prepper groups over the years and realized that this “model” would not be a successful strategy. The main downfall of these groups was egos and a quest for power at any level.
This would be a good time to drop back and ask if you have read “The 5000 Year Leap”. This book outlines how our founding fathers took 5000 years of government history and developed what would become known as the Great Experiment. What they realized is that mob control (Democracy) is not a good model. The Republic that they eventually developed had a tenet that most people overlook: the federal government was limited in its power and the individual states retained control of the bulk of the government’s power. In other words, a confederacy.
So with a historical viewpoint in mind, how did individual patriot group fail? As I said earlier, egos were the main problem. Ignorance was another as well as the implementation of faith. Herding cats is also an issue in bad times. What would have saved the prepper groups? That is another article but the point is that these groups were not the pathway back to Liberty.
My personal experience led me to consider what was needed to be successful. I looked for guidance in The 5000 Year Leap. I learned from NCFreedom.us that success breeds more success: in other words, set positive goals which can be achieved and people will join with you to achieve larger successes.
So now for the downside. I looked for parameters to establish baselines for security, trade, tactical, communications and education. As we descend into chaos, my geographic area of operations that can be maintained shrinks. Consider how large of an area can be maintained without transportation. Limited fuel and eventual repair/maintenance considerations will limit the size of this area. And its security.
My conclusion was a community based area of operations. This area would have a consolidated location or locations for specific tasks. As I have stated before: you cannot have a community without a community center. Notice that the community center is not designated as a power base of operations. It is a gathering place for the community.
The community center that I have built in my area currently has the following:
There are other aspects that I will not discuss here as some are under construction and some are not relevant to the community.
As an example:
A few families build a community smokehouse. Meat is smoked and distributed with little spoilage. How the meat is distributed and the terms for smoking the meat (schedules and payment) are predetermined and agreed upon. More importantly, this is a success that brings the community closer together. People have a vested interest in maintaining the smokehouse and its security. This is the same as our new sawmill. A community cannot maintain and build without lumber. Especially in the future that our “leaders” have consigned to us.
I hope you are seeing the point to building a community based future. Education, training, coordination and fellowship are excellent pillars to rebuild. Egos are replaced by skills and friendship. Important community decisions can be discussed and appropriate actions taken at a centralized location.
I will write more in the future but this is just a series of thoughts for people to consider. Is this the best plan to rebuild? I obviously think it is but there is an easier one but it would require sacrifices that most would object to making. This would be a military structure that mandated fair tasks/assignments to rebuild and provide security. This eliminates the egos, discussions and wasted time that people introduce into the system. While this is more efficient, we do not have many leaders who are qualified to manage a community. Which leads us back to building community and relationships with our neighbors.

The dollar is collapsing as everyone knows. There is no debate, this is a fact. What are your options as the government is responsible for the implementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy?
As the above speaker said, property taxes continue to rise as government mismanages money at all levels. Medical insurance and care continue to rise as the medical community pushes drugs, tests and vaccines. The solution for the government is to kill our elderly population to reduce medical cost reimbursements and social security. It’s a shame that illegal aliens get better care at no cost to them but at a tremendous cost to Americans.
Let’s return to our options. Medical and taxes are mandatory and rising. Food costs are rising and the supply chain is breaking. There are costs that we can cut such as discretionary income: eating out, cable TV, clothing and putting off large scale purchases. But then what happens? People cannot afford food for three meals. Affordable housing is non-existent. The government has no solutions because it is the cause of every issue/problem we face.
People will not forget. Turn to God and pray for guidance.

UPDATE:
There was a reason why I posted this article. It seems even with the hint in the comments of “The Camp of the Saints”, people completely missed the point. I will admit the book is a slog but it was prescient. The people who eventually invaded France from India were led but a dung eater. It’s a shame that people missed the point and took this post on another unintended tangent.
Social Security and Medicare are underfunded by $175 trillion. The nightmare arrives.
In 2014 I published my first book while I was in Hong Kong. This book focused on the insane policies of the Obama/Biden regime and offered solutions that were working overseas.
The biggest problem on the table was the massive amount of unfunded liabilities that were being created under the Biden regime.
In a huge development and absolute smoking gun revelation, the government of Germany has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked audio recording file published by Russia’s state-backed RT. The leak was first published by RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, who described that she received it from Russian security officials.
It first appeared under the headline “Alleged audio of German officers discussing Crimean Bridge attack leaked” – as it featured top ranking Germany military officials in a private discussion of “a potential German operation to bomb the Crimean Bridge in Russia,” as it was initially described by RT. Russian media is now openly admitting that the call was in fact intercepted by Russia. Moscow is now saying this shows “direct” German involvement in the war.
It’s clear that there is an ongoing internal revolt in Europe by the last remaining sane faction against the hardliners pushing WWIII. This is evident by the fact that this entire pressure wave of ‘leaks’ suddenly coincided together from a variety of directions, which included Scholz himself outing British involvement in the war:
