  2. It took a trip to Baghdad to truly understand what living in a world of mayhem was like. Not that I was so much, for I was in a compound in the Green Zone (IZ). But for the local Iraqis we worked with that had to trudge through the checkpoints every day, with a big bullseye on their backs, then go stay in a home nearby in the red zone every night. I don’t ever want to have the look on my face like some of them did on the bad days. It is darned tough to look through gas mask goggles at a friend who doesn’t have one to wear.

    Once you see something like that, you realize how thin the veil is, how easily it is pierced, and how to function with a gut full of fear so intense your back cramps up from all the adrenalin being pumped into your system. Very few people in this country know what it means to “run for your life”. When you are being shot at, and the bullets are skidding along the pavement between you and your buddies, and things around you are blowing up and the sound of shrapnel is crackling against the concrete walls and you have no where to take cover nearby, you will run for your life. But you will realize that you may end up just dying tired anyways. Death is listening, and will take the first man that screams.

    It will not take much to tip our society over into a Mad Max scenario. Once people start killing each other wholesale, life won’t mean much. It will happen. You had better be prepared, more mentally than physically. Cuz when Lord Humungous shows up in your neighborhood with his hordes, what are you and your neighbors gonna do? What plans and preps have you made, or did you just consider it a fantastic novelty at the time? They don’t come singly or in pairs. When they come it will be in the hundreds. That’s what happened in Baghdad after the invasion. If a neighborhood didn’t come together for mutual protection, then the houses would get stormed one at a time, overwhelmed, the families annihilated, and the homes ransacked. If the neighborhood was organized and well armed, the thugs would probe it, and go seek their plunder elsewhere.

    My conclusion: Better to have it and not need it…

  3. I live in a nice neighborhood. Not bragging it is actually quite affordable the same house in more expensive parts of the country would cost two maybe three times as much. But the point is on Halloween we get maybe 400 kids trick or treating. Maybe 50 are from the neighborhood and the rest from other parts of town. I asked someone I knew who lived in an apartment why they went to the nice neighborhoods to trick or treat. After all it should be a piece of cake to do it in an apartment complex, less walking and more doors. The answer was that they tried it and many of the apartment dwellers simply don’t answer the door AND that the good stuff was to be found in the better neighborhoods. So after TSHTF where do you think the hungry and the criminal element will go looking for stuff?

  4. Just wondering why the US is compared to a Muslim nation like Iraq? We have nothing in common as to culture, or central Government.

    As to the proposed event that triggers a civil war in the US is a mystery to me.

    Now a CME or nuclear war, why worry, the odds are radiation from a host of sources will contaminated huge sections of land.

    Also, if this event stopped the trucking industry for over a month, about 100+ million Americans would be dead.

    I see a more insidiious outcome. The government controls more and more of daily life for all Americans. In time everything you buy or sell will be known and soon after that controlled.

    The enemy is the system and it’s growing stronger everyday.

    2. We have a lot more in common than you would assume. But more importantly, it’s the situations that are relevant, not the cultural or governmental dynamic. In SHTF mode, people react more or less predictably the same. Those who are prepared will tend to have the same response, regardless of ideological differences, and likewise for those who are not prepared.

      Put another way, war is war.

Tons of military equipment donated to Minnesota police, sheriffs Police get military surplus, often with no training. By Mark Brunswick Star Tribune AUGUST 22, 2014 — 5:41PM

    ST. CLOUD – The war, at least parts of it, has come home now. Tons of surplus military equipment, some last used in Iraq and Afghanistan, are being given to local cops and sheriffs by the Department of Defense.

    Pine County has a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle (MRAP), built to protect troops from explosions. The Rochester Police Department has an armored truck.

    The town of Royalton (population 1,242) has a grenade launcher.

    School Police May Once Again Get Military Equipment Under Trump Policy Reversal

    Updated.
    President Donald Trump rescinded Obama-era restrictions on local police agencies’ ability to acquire surplus equipment from the Department of Defense Monday, a change that clears the way for school police to once again obtain military equipment like grenade launchers and mine-resistant armored vehicles through the program, known as 1033.

    School district police agencies in at least 22 states used 1033 to acquire such equipment before the rules went into effect, public records show. 

    Those rules prohibited the transfer of tracked armored vehicles, bayonets, grenade launchers, large-caliber weapons, and ammunition to local law-enforcement agencies. While they allowed qualifying local agencies to acquire certain other equipment from the Pentagon, they prohibited such aquisitions by police departments that exclusively serve K-12 schools. 

    1. I have always wondered why a Law Enforcement (not a Peace Officer) officer needed an automatic weapon. They are supposed to be responsible for every round fired! And an automatic weapon is not an accurate sniper weapon! It is a very good area suppression weapon!

  7. Sad, scary, terrifying actually to the common man such as myself. I have no way to bug out no way to acquire the needed supplies and no way to hook up with anyone else that may be like minded. All of what you say is true and bluntly honest. I do have the one thing that really does matter though, GOD. Unfortunately I also know what that same God allowed his saints and early Christians to go through in the days of emporer Nero, torture, torture, torture. I dread those days because of my wife and myself having to go through it. BUT, heaven waits on the other side and for folks like myself that is all I got.
