0. Be Prepared.
\nWhether it is a trucking or petrol strike, a riot or other civil unrest, a local, national or global food shortage, a solar eruption that wipes out the electricity grid, a cyclone, hurricane or tsunami or earthquake, there are any number of reasons you should not be caught without being prepared. As one site says. “The future belongs to those who prepare.”<\/p>\n

Make a diary note to check the kit each 3 months to make sure it is present, accessible and the components are operational and unspoiled by storage. Do not store the batteries in the torches or radio as they can corrode the terminals. Swap out the batteries each time you check your kit.<\/p>\n
Formulate an emergency preparedness plan with your family and friends so that each knows what to do in the event of an emergency. Once a year, drill it. This should include a local and remote rendezvous point.<\/p>\n
Improve your communication skills. It is better to talk than fight your way out of a fight.<\/p>\n
Do a first aid course. They are cheap and held frequently.<\/p>\n
If you are able to and of a mind to do so, procure and learn how to handle weapons.<\/p>\n
Learn a marshal art.<\/p>\n
1. Be aware.
\nBe informed of the truth and lies, learn who are the players and who are the pieces in the game of life as it is being played on the crazy planet. Be aware that most people are broken pieces, not up to being a piece or a player.<\/p>\n
Be aware of the game plan of your opponent, their strategic plan and their tactics as well as the mechanisms by which the players and pieces operate.<\/p>\n
Do not spend all your time doing the above. Do it only to a point that you know the scene then spend a minimal amount of time each week keeping abreast ofthe current scene so you are “in the loop” but not so much it is all encompassing or enturbulating (upsetting) you. Remember, the bad guys have power only to enturbulate. That is their game, to enturbulate. Don’t play their game. Do not allow yourself the luxury of becoming enturbulated.<\/p>\n
2. Spread the word.
\nInform others who are awake so they too are aware of the above. If this is your calling and you can afford to do so, by all means make this your full time activity. Otherwise restrict your time involvement so you can play your main game.<\/p>\n
3. Pick your game.
\nDecide what game you will play that is pro survival for you, your family, your groups and society and the other life forms and the environment. It should be something about which you are passionate. If you don’t know what it is and cannot easily figure it out, contact me. If I am no longer around, look around for someone else who is playing a pro-survival game to which you could enthusiastically contribute your time and energy and help them play their game better.<\/p>\n
4. Identify your allies and opponents.
\nFind out who is a potential ally – who playing the same game you have picked to play. Connect with them and see how you could leverage each other’s assets.<\/p>\n
Discover who are your apparent and underlying opponents. Identify non-aligned parties who could be swayed either way and find out what they are wanting to accomplish.<\/p>\n
5. Do everything feasible to not play the game of your opponent.
\nOnce you know who they are, identify their game plan, formulate your own and decide what you can do to not participate in their game. Determine your own course of action. Opt out of the group think. If “everyone is doing it”, investigate doing the opposite.<\/p>\n
6. Play hard to win.
\nOnce you have identified the opponent, understand their game plan, have your own game and once you are no longer supporting or playing your opponent’s game, put the pedal to the metal on your game!<\/p>\n
