(Epic Economist)—American Patriots, the world is quickly barreling toward a major collapse unlike anything we have ever seen before. While the modern world has brought with it a wide range of conveniences that have made life easier, it has also made us dependent on systems and technologies that may not be able to withstand a major disaster.
Today, Patriots need to be aware that we could very likely find ourselves facing an event that threatens our way of life. Whether it’s the impending crash of the economy, the looming threat of an attack on American soil that could very well happen at any time, or a catastrophic natural disaster, being prepared is essential. Patriots, this is crucial to surviving after the collapse! Learn these skills, and prep for what’s right around the corner.
Editor’s Note: Experienced preppers will look at this list and say, “Duh!” There’s nothing earthshattering about this list. But for those of us who are either inexperienced at survival/preparedness or who have put all of our focus on supplies rather than skills, this list will make for a great reminder and will hopefully prompt people to start learning skills as soon as possible.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

There are a lot of “implied” material needs that go along with these skills but one I would like to mention is … maps. To be in need of navigational skills implies either the GPS satellites have been compromised or there’s nothing to power your GPS device with. Or both. In either case, an old school magnetic compass will be a necessity. Silva is the gold standard, and there’s one in every price range. But the ability to navigate is of limited use if you don’t have maps. Paper maps, not digital. So stock up NOW. If you’re serious about “land nav,” you’ll need to learn to visualize terrain by analyzing the contour lines on a topographic map, and learn how to perform intersection-resection, which is how you pinpoint your current location and plot your course to your destination. It’s not difficult, the army teaches high school dropouts how to do it all day every day.
The #1 answer for survival protein is raising domestic rabbits because their natural breeding instinct serves your need for meat, and no other animal yields so much protein from the same caloric input. Plus they can survive on browse and other natural feed if commercial rabbit food isn’t available. Does become fertile again immediately after giving birth and if you don’t give them any time off, a single doe can bear eight litters of eight kits each in a single year. You’ll “wear out” your does sooner by breeding then so frequently but you’re breeding their replacements as part the process, and if human lives are at stake, ethical animal husbandry has to take a back seat. Inbreeding isn’t generally a problem for meat production but at some point you will have offspring that should be harvested rather than used for breeding stock. There are many suitable breeds but kits of either the New Zealand or Californian variety will reach a weight of around five pounds at about 10 weeks age, which will yield about three pounds of edible meat. A single doe can (theoretically) give birth to 64 kits in a year, which will yield about 190 lbs of meat. A single buck can service 10 does which, with high-intensity breeding, could yield five pounds of meat (on average) per day. From just 11 breeding animals. At current rabbit pellet prices you’ll spend about $2 on feed for every 1 lb of rabbit meat on the table. Less if you’re supplementing with hay and natural forage. And (cute factor aside) rabbits are easy to slaughter, dress and butcher. Select a variety known for the warmness of its coat, learn to tan and sew, and you’ll also be producing pelts in quantity for toasty winter clothing.
Should break it down by tiers that correspond to how much $$$ ya got to invest in this survival campaign. At the most basic level one would need a blade- I recommend a cold steel bushcraft so you can make a spear with it to hunt & fish…
If you know any of these skills do not teach them to leftists for any reason or any amount of money.
This is why many will be dead within months of a sustained grid collapse. It’s doubtful however, it will be longer than a few weeks to soften us up for whatever they have in store for our enslavement.
Friend, is the following of interest ? Jim
Congress, and Alasdair Macleod in THE INTEREST RATE DILEMMA seems to miss the point. [Ref. https://alasdairmacleod.substack.com/p/the-interest-rate-dilemma ]. A stable economy is not the Fed’s objective. Ref. https://stateofthenation.co/?p=217386
Benjamin Ginsberg in FATAL EMBRACE documents numerous historical European Rothschild national banking ventures that were driven into bankruptcy FOR THE PROFIT OF THE BANKERS with total social chaos. The Federal Reserve is the sequel for Ben. Profit for the Rothschild private owners of the Fed is the goal. Every dollar of deficit spending is a covert dollar of profit for the private Rothschild owners of the Fed. The scheme will be continued as long as possible.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Lewis Carroll gave the public a walk down the Yellow Brick Road of economics 150 years ago and exposed the wizard distorting his image. Today, the Federal Reserve has, for a century, operated a smokescreen of the government borrowing money. It is a Ponzi scheme—THAT CAN NEVER BE PAID OFF— destined for exponential bankruptcy and with extreme hidden profit for the instigators. The fiat principal of a ‘loan’ is created by issuing a deficit spending Treasury security, but the ‘interest’ to pay it off does not exist. Let us walk down that yellow brick road once more.
Our walk, to expose covert profit, begins with the U.S. Treasury sending Treasury securities, as authorized by Congress for Deficit Spending [DS], to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York [Bank]. The Bank, operating as a fiscal agent for the government, credits a government ledger with fiat book-created value, in the amount of the security. The Treasury disperses value for bills from the account and merchants deposit the checks in commercial banks. Voila !! The market value has just increased and inflation has occurred.
But what has happened to the DS securities at the Bank ? The Bank would like to sell them, but how ? The Bank walks them down the hall to the department that is preparing securities for auctions to redeem the securities that have matured from prior years. The average life of a security is about two years and is perpetually rolled over.
The DS security is divided into components and added to redeeming securities for auctions. TreasuryDirect Institutional tabulations, supplied by the Bank, have listed Redeeming while the DS value is listed as ‘New Cash.’ Redeeming, in large part, involves Primary Dealers who are TBTF New York City banks. The auction funds, which currently amount to >$15 trillion annually, are handled exclusively by the Bank and have never been audited. {They are client accounts — not operational accounts.] Ref. 31 CFR §375.3.
What happens to the New Cash ? Repeated inquiries to TreasuryDirect are not helpful. There is no documentation as to their destination. They certainly do not appear as received on any government account. If they disappeared by buying securities, it would eliminate any increase in the National Debt and would negate any inflation. If they do not go to the government. then they must go to a private entity—such as shareholders of a closely held FR Board of Governors, Inc.? Are these potential recipients of $34 Trillion in New Cash the same bankers who conspired on Jekyll Island to create the Fed ?
With $34 Trillion, I think I could laundry funds and purchase ownership of all Fortune 500 firms [via BlackRock, CFR and Vanguard]; dominate countless nations using the IMF, CIA, US military and sanctions; establish the UN and WHO for more gov control and to create international chaos with global pandemics; overthrow a Constitutional Republic with a Southern invasion and a Soros corrupt political structure; and promote a global Great Reset; among other items.
The supreme nefarious act is to get the taxpayers responsible for the book-entry credit that has been floated by the Bank. By spurious legislation, the credit has been labeled as a legal tender; i.e., the taxpayers are responsible for the fraud that has been perpetuated. When the Ponzi scheme implodes, the Fed is wanting the deplorables to be liable for the value. This appears to be the method Benjamin Ginsberg describes historic Rothschild banks collapsed and bankrupt European nations in his FATAL EMBRACE book.
The GAO has standing authority to audit any account of government funds upon congressional direction without additional legislation. FOIA is also valid for any official record of any FR bank record. Ref. Bloomberg v Fed, aff’d, 601 F.3d 143 (2d Cir. 2010).
