This was a good read ray but much of it is a moot point for whats actually coming and whats actually coming is God once again winning.

He will allow for a magnetic pole reversal or repositioning of said poles to take place and likely very soon now, maybe months time.

All these getaway islands and bunkers will be the absolute last place one would want to be when this earth catastrophe hits.

When it hits it will completely destroy evils control over humanity and I believe as we speak God is putting His chosen people into safe places to survive whats coming.

Having said that there is still going to be a massive survival aspect to whats coming and along with bunkers and islands you most certainly do not want to be in a city.

I refused to comply with any of this tyranny and ended up losing my job of 28 years for refusing to be tested, the injection was always a non-starter. Then god went to work and gave me a whole new life that is better in every way to my previous life and the best part...He put me right where I was planning to move to when I was 60 and retired early.

My hobby before the covid fraud was researching climate change and I quickly learned about our rapidly moving magnetic pole. I figured this was going to happen in my lifetime so if I could plan for this while living my life thats what I was going to do.

Then covid hit and a year later God put me an hour or so north of North Bay in Ontario, 1100 feet above sea level, surrounded by fresh water and fish and hunting food and on top of millions of years old rock in the form of The Great Canadian Shield.

If there is anywhere thats going to be safe I would have bet money on this area.

I have a 5 year supply of any vitamin and nutrient that will stay that long, multiple filters '5 years' for big berkey water system, about a year of food but have garden and adding more daily, multiple generators and run on propane, natural gas and gasoline.

My home is protected everywhere from a solar flare and or emp attack. Multiple alternative healing items like DMSO, MSM, MMS, Collodial Silver.

Doing the best I can and I hope that God put me here for that reason, to survive but if not I am also ready to move on.

Cheers.

Yes, NZ is good for a base, but the islands must be far enough to be "safe" from potential attackers. Their ownership must also be covered up in order not to attract unnecessary attention. On the Southern Pacific, there are tens of thousands of deserted, but habitable islands to choose from and, if I were one of them, I would buy the ones with friendly climates. :)

Armageddon is not the same as the NWO Security State. In Arma there wont be many people to come and get you if you're well underground or in a mountain and far away from people. The NWO will get you in most any defined location, certainly any of these places for sale because they are all registered, in fact the NWO may even be behind these as a psy op to then just round these people up.

Staying on the move with some cloaking of your thermal and physical signals, having a way to hide your exhaust like if you're in a volcanic area with lots of hot springs (Japan comes to mind), having a network of persons who make different things and trade them etc. might be ok, living near the shore in a cave and eating shellfish and sea plants that wash up on the beach? Otherwise being a worker on an elite's island could be ok for a short life, but things dont look good for the commoner 50 years from now.

The only real choice is unified noncompliance and grass-roots infiltration and understanding with the police/military to non-comply now while we still can.

Expand full comment

No, the two are not the same. The world is going to end after Armageddon (which I assume is going to be a spiritual, not a physical fight), while the NWO will effectively terminate itself and drag down whatever is attached to it to its bottomless pit.

In some places, only being mobile would work, although a nice hut in the forest would be a lot more comfortable. :)

Just remember that ant

Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall

Once there was a silly old ram

Let’s say total breakdown occurs. First places to be going down will be cities. Then suburban neighbourhoods and then surrounding rural places. Kind of hard to not be a ‘surrounding’ rural place in overpopulated UK. Scotland? No way.

But then there will be those who are truly, utterly, pissed off. And they’ll be going to those subterranean vaults to keep the evil bastards sealed up permanently.

And as I’ve said many times, tptb, ‘elite’ lite on morals, etc are composed almost entirely by sociopaths and psychopaths and given time will kill each other while fighting over the bodies left on the ground over who gets to eat friends and families.

Or maybe the staff will rebel and March through Rich out the doors to certain death.

And I believe a few verses in the Bible are about ‘sealing them up in vaults’ where they seek shelter from Armageddon.

Revelations 6:15-17

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

I guess we only have the premonition from my adult daughter at the start of all this: a large sail boat and sailing south. So if you want to survive we must all get out of northern hemisphere. (Must but that boat. Anyone want to put in a share for a £25-40,000 sail boat?)

Recall UN song ‘we will rise again’ it’s set in Samoa I think or some other tropical island. But without access to antibiotics, antifungals the tropics will get us northerners. Just as they killed off most of the new inhabitants in Louisiana from yellow fever and rotting diseases.

So I guess my get out advice would be: save your souls.

Making peace with one's maker is a mandatory first step.

After that, everything is conditional.

In Scotland, there might still be good springs.

Otherwise, no electricity, no water.

A boat sounds nice, but how far can it be seaworthy? Also, will enough fish still live in the sea for fishing?

Yes, there are a number of groups competing for global domination, and they know only one can rule, so they will start eliminating each other, once they are finished witht he plebs.

Not really weather though a factor.

I will need to search for link listed on The Duran, but it showed the northern hemisphere US army bases (900 + globally) surrounding Russia and China. All the major 3rd world war nations are in northern hemisphere and TPTB are itching to move it hot.

Central America is swarming with them both seas covered - Atlantic Pacific.

South America has a few dotted about primarily on Atlantic coast and in Brazil. Rest of eastern seaboard is clear of bases. Africa has a few European, British (Kenya SA) and -American bases. Indian Ocean has a few too including Diego atolls Maldives, Sri Lanka, India.

As for another reason — the stratospheric aerosol injections and solar radiation management programmes are in Northern. Hemisphere. Except Australia and NZ. So weather patterns will be more normalised in Southern Hemisphere. And there’s oil, gas, minerals and agricultural regions.

So hope that answers why Southern Hemisphere ( from daughter’s premonition). Africa is closer to UK but more dangerous.

Ray are you a veteran or navy seal? You are quite different from most Substack writers. You have got the situation down absolutely spot on but it’s more than that. It seems like you have been a very resilient survivor for a long time.

I think it’s refreshing to read your Substack and your readers are great too. I live in the outskirts of NY on a few acres with my husband son and his fiancé. We have German shepherds and everyone is licensed and have generators etc. you’re view for our future is very bleak. If things turn out that you’re right then I honestly think we would not survive without black market resources. And there are always black market resources.

But if God allows your vision of the future to happen then I don’t really want to live in that world. Hell I don’t want to live in the world we got now. The clot shot was never even a consideration for us in my family. We have no debt and own our cars. We pray we dream and we trust God in all our ways. He will lead us to safety or take us home to be with Him.

Thank you for letting me know that you are finding my articles edifying; it always gives me a boost, when people tell me.

Also, it's good to hear you are blessed with a wonderful family!

I don't care to talk about it, but I did serve three months as a radio operator in an infantry unit after training, until a got injured and spent eight months serving in a military hospital until I got honorably discharged.

My differences probably come from my extremely-versatile life experience and being a deductive thinker (as such, I evaluate incoming info within the big picture instead of trying to put a puzzle together from insufficient number of pieces), but keeping thinking well after most others stop occasionally helps, too.

If you add up the parts, the whole does look bleak. People run out of stuff to trade, but I think those, who can make it for about five years (that's how long the well-off are buying their places in the bunkers), might be able to make it, although environmental poisoning alone will make food and water unfit for consumption for a while, which will certainly decimate the population. It's a question when and how long the blackouts will be, because only a few could trade skills in a pre-industrial environment and chances are they will be enslaved.

Returning to one's roots and affirming their tradition is a must, because no community can be created without a prevalent ideology. Only one Savior might have a chance against all this evil, and it's clear by now that our home country is not from this world. :)

I meant that perhaps fewer people will die, if they are willing to put up a fight. Sometimes slowing an adversary down can exhaust him and put an end to the attack. It's not always true, but I can't see an alternative to gaining time.

How did the pilgrims manage? They worked on the land and we will have to do that also. Food may be scarce for those in the city and a tank of gas can only get them so far into the country. Let's put it this way...what will be, will be. I have my plans but I've had plans all my life that were totally run askew by the universe. As one person asked recently, on fascist book. How many of you have lived the life you "planned". The only one who said yes was a 25 year old. We told him he hasn't been alive long enough yet. One other thing, guns DO feed people.

I'm responding here because Substack isn't allowing me to respond after your rant. As it is, I'm a crappy (is that a wordy dird to you too?) mind reader Ray and am not so well read as you seem to think you are. So using GEEEZZZZ as a response ISN'T a 'cuss' word from my way of thinking. And I have NEVER until today heard of such total nonsense. As for your twisting the definition of fascist to fit your point of view, great job. I wish I had the time to debate you over your list. No Gaddafi wasn't a fascist. Did I say he was? He was well liked by his country men but was a bit of a psychopathic control freak. And it was bayoneted from the rear, I'm sure is what you meant. Fascism is when the people running the country let the companies run it. The USA is fascist in many respects and also communist in many respects. Hitler was a mental case psychopathic control freak. OBVIOUSLY. As well as most other "leaders" throughout history.

Dictators are typically really bad psychopathic control freaks. I think we maybe should try a time of ANARCHY just for grins. And I read dictionaries and am a "people". So do many others. I'm not so sure what you read or have read. But I am starting think it may have been something from a Cracker Jack box. Your response came across so arrogant it's pitiful. So back at ya...Geezzzz....Oh, I forgot. That's a new cuss word. Let me see what Miram Websters says about it...OH, GOSH, NOTHING.

Was Gaddafi "fascist"? He wanted a gold-based African currency and was bayoneted from the year as a result. Franco got rid of communists in Spain. Yes, he was a dictator. Hitler got rid of the same central bankers who are about to kill off most of humanity. He was so popular because of this that 98% of Austrians voted for the Anschluss, because they also wanted a part in the economic miracle. Only one in ten Germans were party members, but when I lived in Germany several decades ago, Germans still respected him for recovering the country in three years from a recession that took about 15 years for the US to recover from, and ensured unprecedented living standards for Germans. Even Moussolini's Italy favored the "Duce" until the country lost the war communist agents killed him. He didn't want to go to war; the Italian army lost even in Albania! :)

According to Aristotle, the best form of government is that of a "good king."

Even the most well-meaning leaders have to employ methods that are indeed cruel, but what would happen, if an absolutely cruel enemy took over? All the above leaders made mistakes, but were not explicitly genocidal as Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot.

In response to your comment:

People don't read dictionaries. The succumb to mass propaganda, and the way "fascism" is used remains a cuss word for two reasons:

1. It prevents any more discussion in the topic, because, "Boo! Do you want to defend the Fascists? The you are one of them!" (so, who are "you" exactly in this conversation? either a freak or someone who conforms whatever is being sold by the manipulator)

2. It labels people without any realistically matching parameters.

3. It imposes an interpretive matrix on people's experience to the extent that it becomes next-to-impossible to conduct impartial investigations

So, are you buying into all these? :)

P. S.: "Geez" is considered swearing by many; please, respect their point of view and avoid the word, at least on my site. Thank you for your understanding.

11/27/2014Richard J. Maybury

Each year at this time, schoolchildren all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating.

It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy tale, a whitewashed and sanitized collection of half-truths which divert attention away from Thanksgiving's real meaning.

The official story has the Pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America, and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620–21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and tenacious, and they learn new farming techniques from the Indians. The harvest of 1621 is bountiful. The pilgrims hold a celebration, and give thanks to God. They are grateful for the wonderful new abundant land He has given them.

The official story then has the Pilgrims living more or less happily ever after, each year repeating the first Thanksgiving. Other early colonies also have hard times at first, but they soon prosper and adopt the annual tradition of giving thanks for this prosperous new land called America.

The problem with this official story is that the harvest of 1621 was not bountiful, nor were the colonists hard-working or tenacious. 1621 was a famine year and many of the colonists were lazy thieves.

In his History of Plymouth Plantation, the governor of the colony, William Bradford, reported that the colonists went hungry for years because they refused to work in the field. They preferred instead to steal food. He says the colony was riddled with "corruption," and with "confusion and discontent." The crops were small because "much was stolen both by night and day, before it became scarce eatable."

In the harvest feasts of 1621 and 1622, "all had their hungry bellies filled," but only briefly. The prevailing condition during those years was not the abundance the official story claims, it was famine and death. The first "Thanksgiving" was not so much a celebration as it was the last meal of condemned men.

But in subsequent years something changes. The harvest of 1623 was different. Suddenly, "instead of famine now God gave them plenty," Bradford wrote, "and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God." Thereafter, he wrote, "any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day." In fact, in 1624, so much food was produced that the colonists were able to begin exporting corn.

What happened? After the poor harvest of 1622, writes Bradford, "they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop." They began to question their form of economic organization.

This had required that "all profits & benefits that are got by trade, traffic, trucking, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be placed in the common stock of the colony, and that, "all such persons as are of this colony, are to have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock." A person was to put into the common stock all he could, and take only what he needed.

This "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was an early form of socialism, and it is why the Pilgrims were starving. Bradford writes that "young men that were most able and fit for labor and service" complained about being forced to "spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children." Also, "the strong, or man of parts, had no more in division of victuals and clothes, than he that was weak." So the young and strong refused to work and the total amount of food produced was never adequate.

To rectify this situation, in 1623 Bradford abolished socialism. He gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep what they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. In other words, he replaced socialism with a free market, and that was the end of the famines.

Many early groups of colonists set up socialist states, all with the same terrible results. At Jamestown, established in 1607, out of every shipload of settlers that arrived, less than half would survive their first twelve months in America. Most of the work was being done by only one-fifth of the men, the other four-fifths choosing to be parasites. In the winter of 1609–10, called "The Starving Time," the population fell from five-hundred to sixty. Then the Jamestown colony was converted to a free market, and the results were every bit as dramatic as those at Plymouth.

The Pilgrims tried a communal i.e. COMMUNIST approach and found out that it just plain didn't work. As soon as they were able to work as INDIVIDUALS on the land everything worked out fine. And it wasn't the Indians that saved them. It was HARD WORK by the INDIVIDUAL.

Same here. What people must understand is that houses cannot be defended; they are death traps. Stockpiling reserves in underground depositories seem necessary (in case you have to retreat) and, perhaps, prepare for defending your domicile from outside (not all terrains are suitable for that, and it also depends on the adversaries' equipment). Means to be able to move around relatively undetected seems to be also overlooked.

Still, stocking up food and water for five years poses quite a challenge for most.

Departing on one's own terms has become mandatory.

They're not socialists although these labels are probably not that helpful either. They do get a hard time here in the media and I'm sure that they deserve some of that.
