Being Prepared is not Fear- do YOU have the power?

As I said in last nights Transpicuous News Report, I am not a negative person, nor a pessimist- far from it in fact.  But I am a Realist, and right now, the Realist in me says "Be Prepared".

At this moment, the world of "Finance" "Economy" and Government idiocy is collapsing all around the globe.  I do not say this lightly.  After posting TN last night, I opened my skype to 5 more news articles that point a very huge finger at just how close the collapse of the current financial system is.

I have written for years about the coming changes to the currently slavery financial system and ultimately it's collapse.  I have also been talking about the fact that the "New" financial system that "they" are putting in to replace it, is just slavery 2.0 edition.  The battle is on at the moment to see which faction will get their agenda and system in place first.  Not that it matters, as each one is just a variation of the slavery/fraud theme, which just puts a different face on who everyone thinks is in charge.  It doesn't matter, one way or the other though, because in my opinion, even their "New" financial system will very quickly been seen for what it is and crash.  The re-phoenixing of the systems is NOT going to work.   Now, as I said in Transpicuous News last night, I do believe that there are those waiting in the wings for the final curtain call, people who are ready and able to pick up the broken pieces and actually FIX the problems that we are currently facing, but before that happens, I think we will have to seen the complete collapse of this fraudulent slave system in it's entirety.

Which brings me to my point: BE PREPARED

I'm not a pessimist and I'm certainly not a fear mongerer. Those who've been reading RTS know that I don't fall for the "fear porn".  But I'm also not willing to gamble my family on the hope that this coming collapse is going to be all unicorns farting rainbows.

Let's play a game of "What if".

What if the big banks- or even just your bank in your local town- goes bankrupt and suddenly shuts it's doors?

-Do you have access to money?  Do you have access to your credit/debit card? Do you have food and supplies on hand to look after your family (and perhaps unprepared friends) for 3 days?  A week? Do you have gas in your car?

What if the big banks close and there is a bank run (which is already been seen in several countries yet covered up by the main stream media)?

What if there is a panic run when people can't get their money, or just freak out about the whole situation?

What if a "state of emergency" is enforced and you are stuck away from home? or stuck at home?

None of these situations are impossible.  As a matter of fact, judging from what is being seen, I would say most of these situations are probable.At this very moment the "Big 5" in the US are completely bankrupt- hence the fact that they passed that lovely "bail out" clause in the US 2015 budget- "they" KNOW what is coming.  European banks are not any better off either.  As matter of fact, the European Union is on the verge of collapse all on it's own, regardless of the global economic situation.

Are you Prepared?  Do you know where everything is that you might need? Do you have a meet up point prearranged with your family and friends just in case you need to leave your home?  These are important questions.

Many of my newer readers may not know it, but I use to be a hard core prepper.  Nick and I recognized back in 2001, then further in 2009, that the current "system" was failing and that it was our responsibility to look after our family.  We had spent years watching various government agencies dropping the ball during major emergencies and realized that we needed to be completely self sufficient.  This meant gathering knowledge because knowledge is the KEY to getting through any situation.  Over the course of several years I gathered an entire hard drive full of information, books, recordings, PDFs, manuals, and lists of resources.  Then the realization hit that to print out all of this information would comprise 10s of thousands of pages.... not exactly something you can carry with you in an emergency situation.  Which left the question of: POWER.  If you have an energy supply, then you always have the ability to charge batteries, to charge laptops, to have light and even heat and refridgeration.  But it comes down to having a power supply that is self sufficient, renewable/self recharging, and is transportable.  This is when Nick began his journey into studying and creating an alternative energy supply.  Nick has been working on several energy designs (we won't use that bad word "free energy", lol) for many years, and has worked on several designs that would allow off the grid power anywhere.

Two days ago we recorded the video (below), and gave the information about crystal batteries and how we are moving forward to the world.  This is vitally important information for those people who are looking for an easily transportable, self recharging power source. We are working on getting the fully documented video instructions out to the public in the next few weeks, but in the mean time, Nick's notes, and this recording are an excellent start to building your own crystal battery.

Crystal batteries have been around in the alternative media circuit for a few years.  Laserhacker proved that his small self recharging test battery is still lighting an led bulb 2 years later, without showing any signs of degradation.  What Nick has done is to morph the salts used, changing how they are mixed and applied it to a car battery- 12 volts of easily moveable/transportable power.  This energy supply can be used to take a room of your house "off grid", or wired in series to create a larger output. It can be used in an RV, camper, boat, cottage, workshop etc... to supply "electricity" for small appliances, power tools, lights, or any other application that falls within the output of the crystal battery itself.  Most importantly, these batteries are  self recharging, cheap to make and easy to build and set up!  Besides the battery itself, all you need is an inverter, and away you go.

Please share this information about the crystal batteries with your networks, groups, friends and families.  The original article with all of Nick's notes is available here:

Even the US treasury Dept knows that shit is about to get real.

Treasury Department Seeking Survival Kits For Bank Employees

This is an article that I first posted in 2012.  It contains a massive amount of information and knowledge and covers a vast amount of topics.  Most of the information is in PDF format so they are easily downloadable, and stored on a hard/external drive.

For me... I'm not going to wait around for anyone else to look after myself and my family.  I'm pretty independent that way- regardless of who the "savior" is that is suppose to be rescuing us all, lol.  

I am my own damn savior.

'nuff said.

Being Prepared

In the last year, we have had more natural disasters than any other year in the past couple hundred years (or at least, since records have been kept). Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earth quakes, wild fires, droughts. If you don't want to think about the economic crisis that is raging around the world, or believe the reports of the massive arrests and changes that are about to happen.... fine. Don't. Instead, think about the natural disasters that could strike. Instead, prepare your family in case of a natural disaster. Do you have enough food and water for your family to survive for 3 days or more? Do you have a way to cook your food without electricity? Do you have a way to keep your family warm without natural gas? If a disaster strikes and you are forced to flee from your home (think: house fire, earth quake, flooding,....) can you get everything you need and get out- in 2 minutes or less? Where are your important papers? Do you have warm clothing ready? Do you have food you can take with you? What about your pets? What about your memories- photos etc? Do you have an emergency meet up place planned just in case your family is at different locations when you need to "bug out" - if you or your partner is at work, how will you find each other?

Review this doc from the USNA about natural disasters;

http://www.usna.edu/FamilyServices/NaturalDisasters.pdf

Review info about creating an emergency plan and an emergency kit:

http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/knw/plan/plan-eng.aspx

Remember Katrina- hundreds of people DIED because they were not prepared and just thought that the government would take care of them.... we all know what a mess the US gov. made of that emergency. Do NOT assume that someone else will "take care of it" or that your local government will look after you. YOU need to be responsible for YOUR family. Keeping your head in the sand and ignoring the potential dangers is risking the lives of your family. Being Prepared doesn't have to take lots of money. Being Prepared doesn't have to take a huge amount of time.  But being prepared can save your life.

More information on the Frankenstorm

Further to my article yesterday, "Sandy, the perfect storm?... but perfect for who?", the Intel Hub has put out an article with more details on the "Frankenstorm" and the preparations being made by the White House, FEMA, Homeland Security and NOAA.

Contrary to what some people think, this is not "fear porn", this is reality checking.  Regardless of whether or not this is a natural storm or a man-made storm, it is still a super storm.  Be safe, be wise, be prepared. This is not a joking matter.  Many of the people that end up dead in hurricane and storm situations like this end up so because they are not prepared.  During Katrina, there were people who died through negligence, and people who died because they did not have vital medications on hand that they needed- things like insulin are not easily accessible when there is a storm raging and people running in panic.  Same with infant formula- if there is no water available how do you make up formula?  

Besides having supplies on hand- food, water, warm clothing, medicines, gasoline, etc... one of the most important parts of being prepared for a natural disaster is having  "A Plan"- if you are away from home where will you meet?  If you can't get home (think blocked or flooded roads) where is your secondary meet up point? If your job is any distance away from your kids school, do you have someone lined up to get your kids from school and look after them till you can get there? If you have to leave the area, do you know several different routes?

Be prepared.

The Politics and True Threat of Hurricane ‘Sandy’

theintelhub.com
October 26, 2012

VIRGINIA — Mitt Romney cancelled one of three campaign stops this Sunday in reaction to the recent weather threat presented by hurricane “Sandy” which is predicted to affect parts of the eastern seaboard, thus stopping Romney from appearing at the Virginia Beach rally he had previously scheduled.

President Barack Obama receives an update on the ongoing response to Hurricane Sandy during a conference call with FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, Dr. Rick Knabb, Director of the National Hurricane Center, and John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, in the Oval Office, Oct. 26, 2012. Alyssa Mastromonaco, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, and Richard Reed, Deputy Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, are seated at right. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

Meanwhile, President Obama has already been briefed on the storm as of late Wednesday and east coast residents are urged to monitor local weather reports for what is being called a “super storm”.

With Sandy’s wide wind field of 550 plus miles merging with a polar air mass over the eastern US, things could get pretty rough.

The storm also has the potential to bring massive amounts of rain and snow.

An excerpt from the New York Times reads, “The storm is also expected to dump as much as 10 inches of rain in the area where it makes landfall and to create a significant storm surge that will lead to flooding throughout a large coastal area, perhaps most seriously in Delaware, forecasters said.

“We expect a long-lasting event — two to three days for most people,” said James Franklin, branch chief of the National Hurricane Center in a conference call on Friday. It is, Mr. Franklin said, “a very large system.”

On Friday morning, the hurricane tore through the Bahamas with 100-m.p.h. winds, after killing at least 28 people in the Caribbean. By noon, the system was moving north out of the Bahamas, as a Category 1 storm, with wind speeds of 80 m.p.h., Mr. Franklin said.

The hurricane is likely to turn northeast late Friday or Saturday, roughly parallel to the Carolina coast, forecasters said.”

This storm looks like it has the potential to knock power out in regions of the eastern US as most American’s are unprepared and will be blindsided by such an event.

Not to mention how a possible transportation shutdown could affect the economy.

Reuters reads (regarding the storm), “Its structure is evolving as we speak because it’s interacting with this weather feature at higher levels of the atmosphere,” said Todd Kimberlain, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

“The models are suggesting that the storm could actually become better organized or intensify a little bit, not due to the normal processes than we would expect for a tropical cyclone but more related to this weather feature,” Kimberlain said.

On its current projected track, government forecasters said Sandy could make landfall early next week anywhere between Virginia, Maryland or Delaware up through New York or southern New England.

In New York City, the global financial hub, officials were considering closing down mass transit before the storm hits.”

If mass transit shuts down in New York and other areas because of a “super storm” things could get hairy as people are already on the edge in many ways.

The US government has forecast warnings that hurricane Sandy will be more violent in nature then last years Irene.

The White House released the following statement on the 26th of October entitled, Readout of the President’s Briefing on Hurricane Sandy reading:

“This morning, President Obama convened a call with FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, National Hurricane Center Director Dr. Rick Knabb, and Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan to receive an update on Hurricane Sandy and ongoing federal actions to prepare for the storm as it continues to move toward the United States mainland.

The President directed Administrator Fugate to ensure that all available federal resources are being brought to bear to support state and local responders in potentially affected areas along the eastern seaboard as they prepare for the severe weather.

Impacts from the storm could be felt as early as this weekend, and FEMA is in close contact with state and local partners as the storm approaches.

At the request of states, FEMA is proactively deploying Incident Management Assistance Teams to multiple states up and down the Eastern seaboard to assist efforts as state and local partners prepare for the storm.

Because of the potential for significant power outages, FEMA is encouraging state and local authorities responsible for coordinating with local utility companies to do so ahead of any impacts. The President asked his team to continue to ensure there were no unmet needs and to keep him regularly updated on weather forecasts and hurricane preparations.”

FEMA has also made the following announcement:

“The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through our regional offices in Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, continues to closely monitor Hurricane Sandy located in the eastern Caribbean Sea about 85 miles south-southeast of the central Bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 105 miles per hour, and remains in close coordination with state emergency management partners in Florida and the potentially affected southeast, Mid-Atlantic and New England states.

With hurricane season lasting through November 30, FEMA stands prepared and ready to support state, local, tribal and territorial partners in responding to storms. The agency has a federal coordinating officer and staff that are currently in Florida working previously declared disasters.  They continue to work closely with the state on recovery operations.

Regional Administrators and other senior officials in FEMA’s regional offices along the East Coast have been in contact with their state counterparts in order to ensure coordination for any emergency response. FEMA Incident Management Assistance Teams are on alert for potential deployment to states in order to help with coordination, should emergency response assistance be needed or requested. At all times, FEMA maintains commodities, including millions of liters of water, millions of meals and hundreds of thousands of blankets, strategically located at distribution centers throughout the United States and its territories, including Atlanta, Ga. and Frederick, Md., if needed and requested.

“As Hurricane Sandy proceeds closer toward southeast Florida, residents should listen to local officials for updates and follow their instructions,” urged FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.  “As the storm moves northward, it serves as a reminder that we all need to be prepared for severe weather.  Now is the time to update your family communication plans, check your supplies, and stay informed.  A hurricane isn’t a point on a map – it’s a big storm and its impact will be felt far from the center. FEMA is in contact with states and tribal governments and stands ready to support their preparedness efforts.”

According to NOAA’s National Weather Service, Sandy is now a Category 2 hurricane expected to produce storm conditions along the east coast of Florida tonight and Friday.  Also, rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are possible across the Florida Keys into southeast and east-central Florida.  Tropical Storm watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service remain in effect in southeast Florida.  Tropical Storm warnings are in effect for Florida east coast from Ocean Reef to Flagler Beach and Lake Okeechobee.  A Tropical Storm watch is in effect for the Florida east coast from  north of Flagler Beach to Fernandina Beach; for  the Florida Upper Keys from Ocean Reef southward to Craig Key; and Florida Bay.

FEMA urges residents in potentially impacted areas, including the Florida Keys, southern Florida peninsula to listen to NOAA Weather Radio and local news, monitor for severe weather updates and warnings, and follow instructions of local officials.  State and local officials make determinations and announcement about evacuations, and if local officials give the order to evacuate, leave immediately.  While the exact track of the storm is uncertain, according to the National Weather Service, storm conditions associated with Hurricane Sandy may impact additional states throughout the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast early next week.

While tropical storms are unpredictable, those in the possible path of the storm should be preparing. If you haven’t done so already, take the time now to put together a family emergency plan and emergency kit.  Some of the items in a basic emergency kit include: one gallon of water per person per day, for drinking and sanitation; at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food; battery-powered radio and a NOAA Weather Radio; flashlight and extra batteries; and First Aid kit.  Having a kit can help you weather the storm.....

SO and Dutchsinse- 3 minute update for Oct 21

Some important info in todays SuspisciousObservers update.  Besides the tectonic shifts in the sea floor in different areas, the earthquakes and rumbling volcanoes, we are currently in a solar high alert zone.  Yesterday an M9 class solar flare popped off just as sunspot 1598 started turning into earth view. Right now the Earths magnetic field is far from perfect, and while the chance of an Xclass flare is only around 10% that doesn't mean we couldn't get slammed with one anyway.

Here is Dutchsinse's run down of the 5.3M of the earthquake in California this morning.  Click HERE for Dutch's impressive list of links for every bit of info you could ever ask for on the topics of earth sciences.

There is a lot of things happening right now- not only on our physical planet and our corner of space, but politically and economically.  Major changes are afoot.  Are you prepared?  Anyone who follows my ramblings should know that I'm not into fear porn, nor am I one to promote doom and gloom- quite the opposite.  BUT.... it isn't fear porn and scare tactics to point out that being prepared is vital right now.  Yes, we need to focus on the positive, but to deny that our world is drastically changing is just stupid.  

Be positive, but also Be Prepared!!!!

DRAKE: Aug 8th 2012

I rarely get a chance to listen to Drake's calls any more, there isn't enough hours in my day at this point, but I do try to keep up with what's going on from his circle. 

Drake's call last night hit on several things that I'm currently investigating myself, and resonates with many deep underground rumblings that I'm hearing. 

Change rumbles loudly.  The question is how far reaching are these changes and how fast will they spread?

At this point I cannot verify or deny the validity of Drake's report in it's entirety, but I am digging out information and making calls to see what I can find.  But with what I am hearing, being prepared for change is very important right now- regardless of whether the ball starts really rolling today, tomorrow or next month.  It is vital that people prepare themselves, friends and family.  Everything might roll out smoothly... or it might not.  We might only have a day or two of inconvenience, or we might have to deal with hunkering down for a week or so.  Anyway you slice it, you might want to have at least 3-7 days worth of food and water at home, and extra gasoline and cash on hand.

As I get more information, I will update this post.

*note: I believe that when Drake stated to stay away from the Prosperity Packages, that he is meaning the new ones that have suddenly surfaced.  The original PPs are done and ready for distribution to those entitled to them- which is Not the general public.

 * There are about $125 Trillion hidden away in the CAFR accounts of state and
     local government's budget surplus savings.
* Russia and China are no longer our enemies.  This past week they vetoed and stopped
    NATO from waging war against Syria and Iran.
