Fall back & regroup! In any battle it is important to occasionally evaluate your tactics. So that is what this post is all about. Youtube has been waging war on free speech for years with outright censorship and shadow banning accounts they find threatening to their political ideology. Constitutionally speaking they have every right to do so. That being said I’m tired of loosing battles video after video. For a bit of context, I have more than 100,000 subscribers(on YT), but most videos these days will get only a few hundred views. Which is less than when I had 1,000 subscribers. Then when you factor in that most videos have an average watch time of about 3 mins, that means that I am putting in a ton of work creating videos that are essentially not getting any views at all. So moving forward I need to adjust my tactics and attack from a different angle. Therefore my next plan of attack is to move all the new Prepper SITREP videos and current event news analysis behind the Substack paywall. The main Youtube channel (and the free subscribers to Substack) will still get ALL of the Prepping, Survival and Gear Review videos delivered straight to their inbox via Substack. Making this adjustment will give me the opportunity to give back to those subscribers who value the content through the monthly prepper gear giveaways. This will also hopefully help the main Youtube channel in the algorithm by getting rid of the “controversial” content that Youtube finds so offensive (I have already deleted over 300 videos). If it turns out that no one new chooses to sign up as a paid subscriber, then that will also signal to me that the content doesn’t have any value and should be stopped all together. That is also a good point of intel that I should take to heart and learn from while developing a new plan to move forward. There is no use making content if it holds no value. That is just wasting time and energy for no good purpose. So if you find value in the Prepper SITREP videos and the current news analysis content please click the button below to get signed up! If you feel that the content doesn’t hold enough value to merit a paid subscription that is ok too. Throw a comment down below and let me know that as well! I have thick skin, let me know what content you VALUE most! Either way it is good to hear from both perspectives as I try to adjust my battle plans for moving forward! Thanks for your support! Don’t forget to live the 6P’s: Proper, Prior, Preparation, Prevents, Poor, Performance. Stay Safe out there! This is a public episode.

I think A lot of people misunderstand the New World Order and use it incorrectly. This video gives my thoughts on the New World Order, what it was historically and what it will become in the future as well. I don’t think it is as simple as a One World Government. It is more likely going to be one country’s government leading the world from above. Listen to my rationale and let me know if you think I am missing something. Feel like getting some free gear? All you have to do is sign up as a paid member and I can all but guarantee that you will win your money back in the monthly random prepper gear giveaways!

Focusing on what might appear to be marginally good information and ignoring the big picture is not wise. As the old saying goes “ You can’t see the forest for the trees” or in this case you might be missing the circus for the clowns… We are being fed a show, theater for the masses. And if you just watch the show and don’t keep a skeptical eye out for what is happening behind the scenes you will miss out and we will loose our Republic. The surveillance grid that Trump is putting in place is extremely Anti-Freedom or liberty and it will endanger the Republic. It is so very important that we speak up about this issue. If we don’t it may be too late. If you think I am wrong about this let me know how because I don’t see this going any place good at all! Do you want to support my efforts to get people to wake up and be more self reliant, to be more skeptical of the people in power?

Realists, I am really starting to think we are living in a simulation or an alternate timeline… lol. I tried to give the President props for doing a good thing and the very next news story I hear is the FBI Director calling for a “Public and Private” Partnership with Social media companies to report on all of your social media activities! So they designate ANTFIA a terror group and then essentially call for Fascism… Unbelievable. What am I missing about this? Let me know in the comments below!

Realists, You guys know that I am not much on big conspiracy theories. The Butler, PA shooting didn’t scream conspiracy to me, it screamed incompetence. But this assassination of Charlie Kirk has a whole different vibe. Many things don’t make much sense to me and I go over my thoughts in this video. I also discuss how intelligence agencies can have influence in these types of events without actually getting their hands dirty. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Having America be a 10% owner in Intel feels wrong to me. From a first principles standpoint I am not sure that I can get behind it. However, from a strategic perspective I can understand the National Security perspective because we are in a war for supremacy in Artificial Intelligence with China. We need every advantage to keep our lead. But will this lead to other government acquisitions of private companies? What happens when a liberal strongman is in office during the next presidential term? Let me know your comments below !

The Writing is on the Wall Preppers live by a simple creed: pay attention to the signs before disaster strikes. That’s why the phrase “seeing the writing on the wall” is more than just a biblical echo—it’s a timeless principle of survival. We need to pay attention and when we see things we need to act! Though this video may seem disconnected from this post it is not. The writing is on the wall! Digital slavery is coming for us if we do not act! The Ancient Origin The phrase comes from the Book of Daniel, Chapter 5. King Belshazzar of Babylon was feasting, mocking the sacred by drinking from holy vessels stolen from the Temple in Jerusalem. Suddenly, a hand appeared and inscribed words on the wall: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN. Daniel interpreted the writing as divine judgment: * MENE – Your days are numbered. * TEKEL – You’ve been weighed and found wanting. * PARSIN – Your kingdom will be divided and handed over. That very night, Babylon fell. The warning was clear, but ignored until it was too late. Modern Examples of the Writing on the Wall * Energy Grid Stress – Rolling blackouts and emergency alerts aren’t random glitches; they’re warnings of systemic fragility. Grid failure is possible! * Geopolitical Tensions – When nations mobilize, when shipping lanes close, when rhetoric shifts toward war, that’s writing on the wall for supply disruptions and global war. Get ready. * Financial Fragility – Sky-high debt, manipulated interest rates, and government bailouts all scream instability. Our system has fragility. * Civil Unrest – Empty grocery shelves or political polarization aren’t isolated events—they’re indicators of what happens when order breaks down. More of this is coming and soon! Takeaway and Call to Action The phrase reminds us that collapse rarely arrives without warning. The signs are written all around us. The challenge is not in seeing the writing, but in believing it enough to act. The video above is just one small warning sign, but it is a sign and we need to act on it. A handful of states have made efforts to stop Social Credit Systems but many many more still need to do so! Many are also in a “pending” state meaning that your representatives need to hear from you on this issue!

A couple of years ago I wrote a very long piece on this topic and seem to have lost it somehow. So this video will have to do for now) until I can find it or re-write it) to get my thoughts out on this topic. Bottomline is that we cannot let emotions rule the day when acts of evil take place and we must demand action by our leaders to protect our rights and our children and families. I will leave the rest to be said in the video. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below!

When the Democrats were railroading Donald Trump with multiple criminal and civil law suits without giving him proper due process it was absolutely a complete corruption of of our Justice system and it should have NEVER happened! But When the Trump administration does the same thing it is even worse. In order to take and keep the moral high ground we must stick to the highest legal standards and be above reproach. Otherwise, the public’s belief in blind justice and equal treatment under the law evaporates and when that happens the Republic’s end is near. That is something I personally would like to avoid! In this video I talk about two primary concepts. First, how do we determine what we get behind. Second, and most importantly is Due Process and why we can’t let it die. At first glance these issues may not seem directly related to prepping. But in my humble opinion they very much are! Stability and equal justice within government is a crucial element to the very survival of the Republic. If we let that die, then the Republic dies. If that happens all bets are off and we are looking at a perpetual SHTF situation that won’t get fixed anytime soon! So you bet it is related. Here is a look at the August Giveaway prizes! Still time to get in on it! Want to get in on the giveaway, support my efforts to educate as many people as possible about prepping and save some cash?

Realists, I was having a hard time understanding why the Trump Administration was pushing this Flag Burning issue, since it is clearly not something the Office of the President can do from a legal perspective. I suspect that perhaps this was only an attempt to control the media cycle and drive attention away from the recent actions moving forward on Schedule F. I might be off the mark here but wanted to get your thoughts and put if forward as a possibility since President Trump is very good at manipulating the media. What do you think? Perhaps the two issues are unrelated, either way both are concerning to me!

Why Nationwide Martial Law Is Impossible From time to time, people speculate about the idea of the United States government imposing full nationwide martial law. But when you run the numbers, it becomes clear: the U.S. military simply does not have the manpower to seize and control the country’s major urban centers for any meaningful length of time. The following is a Chat GPT assessment of the possibility of the entire US military implementing Martial Law within the US and below is a video I did many years ago essentially saying the same thing. The Force Requirement Military planners and analysts use a standard rule of thumb for stability and urban control missions: 20 security personnel per 1,000 residents. This figure comes from counterinsurgency and peacekeeping operations worldwide. It’s not an arbitrary number—it reflects the manpower needed to run checkpoints, patrol neighborhoods, control key infrastructure, guard detainees, and still have forces available for quick reaction. At that density: * A city of 1 million requires about 20,000 troops to “hold.” * A metro of 10 million requires about 200,000 troops. America’s Top 10 Metros Let’s apply that math to the ten largest U.S. metropolitan areas (2024 Census estimates): Metro Area Population Troops Needed @ 20/1,000 New York City 19.9M ~399,000 Los Angeles 12.9M ~259,000 Chicago 9.4M ~188,000 Dallas–Fort Worth 8.3M ~167,000 Houston 7.8M ~156,000 Miami 6.5M ~129,000 Washington, D.C. 6.4M ~129,000 Atlanta 6.4M ~128,000 Philadelphia 6.3M ~127,000 Phoenix 5.2M ~104,000 Total (Top 10) 88.2M ~1.78 million To simultaneously hold just the top ten metros, the U.S. military would need about 1.8 million troops on the ground. What the U.S. Military Actually Has * Active duty total (all branches): ~1.3 million * Reserves & National Guard: ~760,000 * Grand total: ~2.07 million uniformed personnel But here’s the catch: * Not all of these are combat troops. Large portions are in the Navy and Air Force, who aren’t structured for urban policing. * Of the Army and Marine Corps, only a fraction are deployable at any given moment—others are in training, logistics, or specialized roles. * Even if you mobilized every Guardsman and Reservist, you could not keep 1.8 million troops continuously deployed in cities. Troops need rotation, rest, logistics, and replacements. The Inescapable Math * Holding city-proper populations (just the incorporated limits) is difficult but theoretically possible for a handful of large cities. * Holding metro regions (which is what actually matters, since unrest spreads across commuting zones) is well beyond U.S. capabilities. * At 20 troops per 1,000 residents, the U.S. could manage a few metros at a time—but certainly not all ten, let alone the nation as a whole. If resistance were intense, the requirement could climb to 30 per 1,000, pushing the need for the top 10 metros alone past 2.6 million troops—more than the entire U.S. uniformed military combined. Why It Matters The conclusion is stark: nationwide martial law is impossible. Even a targeted attempt to lock down the ten largest metropolitan areas would outstrip the military’s manpower. Any talk of the U.S. government “taking over the entire country” under martial law ignores the hard arithmetic of troop density, sustainment, and logistics. The U.S. military alone cannot do it.

Just a quick video to respond to the Alex Jones Show I heard today. Bottomline, he is lying or he admitted to a federal crime on air. One of the two. Federal Grand Jury Secrecy Rules: What You Need to Know Federal grand juries operate under strict secrecy requirements. The primary authority is Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)), which governs what can and cannot be disclosed about proceedings. Key Rules on Disclosure * Secrecy Requirement: All matters before a grand jury are confidential, including the existence of an investigation, testimony, evidence, and deliberations. * Who Must Keep It Secret: Prosecutors, court staff, interpreters, stenographers, and the jurors themselves are legally bound to secrecy. * Exceptions: Disclosure is permitted only in narrow situations, such as by court order, when necessary for government attorneys or investigators performing official duties, or when information is shared with another grand jury. * Witnesses: Witnesses may speak about their own testimony, but they cannot reveal what other witnesses said, what questions were asked, or details of the jury’s deliberations. What Happens if Someone Violates Rule 6(e)? Breaking grand jury secrecy is not just frowned upon — it can be a federal crime. Possible charges include: * Contempt of Court (18 U.S.C. § 401): Courts can punish anyone who disobeys Rule 6(e) secrecy obligations with fines or imprisonment. * Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512, 1519): Leaking grand jury information with intent to interfere in an investigation or proceeding can lead to felony charges for obstructing justice. * Unauthorized Disclosure by Federal Employees (18 U.S.C. § 1905): Government employees who improperly release confidential information can face fines and imprisonment. * Conspiracy Charges (18 U.S.C. § 371): If multiple people coordinate to leak or misuse grand jury material, they can be prosecuted for conspiracy. Bottom Line Under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e), secrecy is the foundation of the federal grand jury process. Violating these rules isn’t just an ethical breach — it can expose you to serious criminal charges, including contempt, obstruction of justice, or conspiracy.
