Occasionally, I am compelled to share my true inner thoughts on what I am seeing in the world and how I believe we should be moving forward. Yes, unbelievably, I do hold some of my thoughts back. If you’ve been reading my Substack for a while, portions of the following will sound familiar, but we often must hear things more than once for ideas and actions to properly sink in.
The first thing I have to say, and I know I’ve said this way more than once, get out of cities. Move to the smallest town you can handle living in. From 2009 until August of 2021, I lived in what was technically Atlanta, Georgia. The town goes by another name but if you sent me mail with Atlanta on the package, I got it. It was waaaaaaaay too close to hell. The town in which I currently live has just over 10% of the population of Metro Atlanta and I’m still looking to go smaller. Ignoring the fact that cities are almost overwhelming on the Left side of the political spectrum, if food shortages start, cities will suffer immediately. And severely. You do not want to be anywhere near a center where food shortages are happening.
The second thing I wanted to mention that will make getting out of cities easier; find a job or entrepreneurial endeavor that you can do from home. For obvious reasons this has become a more achievable goal since the COVID lockdowns started. This is a decision one must make. I remember looking for at-home work about 10 years ago and there was nothing for a non-computer-coder to do. Now, however, a lot of people I know in my personal life work from home. The opportunities are there.
I’m am combining the third and fourth items because I believe they go together. Form local mutual aid alliances and stock up on non-perishable food supplies. Mutual aid is essential as things could get so bad that you can’t get by on your own. I believe that the smaller the town you live in the better chance you have for not only survival but flourishing, however a support system is a great back up. Making sure that you and your cohorts have non-perishable food is essential as well. Another priority is having access to someone with a well if you don’t have one on your property.
The last thing I wanted to mention is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. If you don’t have a sheriff willing to go to war with any federal agents looking to infiltrate your town, run for sheriff yourself. In a lot of jurisdictions, you do not have to be law enforcement to run for the office of sheriff. This is where the John Birch Society always got it right: local law enforcement, especially the elected office of sheriff, should be the first line of defense against federal tyranny. If your local sheriff isn’t willing to go to war to protect you, run against him on that platform and get him the hell out of there. Take that office with the intention to not only protect the town from the feds, but also to clean up the schools and any other organization Globohomo has infiltrated.
I am constantly accused of being “Black-pilled.” In the short-term, I most certainly am. But I believe there are enough people finally sick of the Regime and the Progressive hell it’s created who are ready to fight back. With that belief I am most certainly “White-pilled” when it comes to the long-term. But the Black-pilling will continue unless we act, and act now. If we do not, the horrors we’re currently experiencing will only compound. We must win. There is no other way.
To quote you, Pete: Become what your enemies fear.
Last weekend a guy from my church invited the men to his property for some shooting on his range. It turns out that about 80-90% of the men at my church are not only extremely well-armed with AR-15s, shotguns, various long rifles, and a wide array of handguns, most are fairly competent marksmen. We were all surprised at the huge turnout and one of us remarked that our church has a company-sized militia force at its disposal, several of whom are OIF OEF veterans. This is not in a red state, nor a small town, but I believe that in the event of collapse our church would remain standing; it’s members protected and fed. For people who don’t yet have the wherewithal to move to a small town and work from home, I can’t think of a better security situation than a church full of armed men.
