Having lived off the grid for the last 7 years, you see ’em come, and you see ’em go.  The dozens of people we’ve seen succeed and the dozens of people we’ve seen fail gave us a keen eye to the attributes necessary to be a survivalist.  Like we’ve told many people before, no matter how prepared you think you are, you’re gonna go through some changes!  So after many years of observation, below are listed the 6 essential traits every survivalist should possess to be successful.

I have often wondered as to the thoughts going through the minds of our founding fathers as the inevitable closed in around them.  When I say our founding fathers I do not mean the elitists who would direct others to their deaths, but rather the common folk, whose lives would be changed forever by the upcoming event of our first revolution.

Surely they loved life every bit as much as any one of us does and were wishing they could just live out theirs in peace.  But then, as now, there were greedy power elite who wanted to take the fruits of their labor and make slaves of them.  As I watch this convention nonsense on the stupid box, I wonder about the information the colonists were privy to and the conversations they were having.

Press TV  The US presidential candidate for the American Third Position Party (A3P) says the Republican and Democratic contenders for the November presidential race are merely lap dogs for the Zionist lobbies in the United States.

In an exclusive interview with Press TV on Thursday, Merlin Miller said he firmly believes both major US political parties are controlled by the Zionist interests, and their candidates are basically picked by global elites long ago.

Breitbart  First Lady Michelle Obama’s pitch to voters last night relied on the premise that she and her husband understand what it is to struggle to make ends meet. She spoke movingly about their early years–about how a young Barack Obama drove a car that was “rusted out” and found his furniture “in a dumpster,” how they both came from families that had to “scrape by.” Her fairy tale–however well-delivered–was one great, big, colorful lie.

Both Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama began their adult lives with a leg up on the rest of America. They attended elite schools: Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society. They were accepted to Ivy League schools despite undistinguished credentials, and both attended Harvard Law School.

RT News  The military uses unmanned aerial vehicles to strike insurgents without being detected, and the FAA will soon regulate UAVs in America for policing purposes. Is journalism next to embrace drone technology to stay, literally, on top of the news?

The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to have guidelines for domestic drone use set in stone by 2015, and by the end of the decade some agencies say that as many as 30,000 UAVs will be up in the air at any time. On the heels of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies, though, the news gathering industry — professional journalists — are examining what benefits they could reap by watching breaking events unfold from the sky without risking life and limb for the sake of a story, or that one phenomenal photo.

Here it is – Why Are You Trying to Survive?  With the news being what it is, the world has now come to the point at which a huge shake-up is undeniable – to anyone who has 2 cents worth of brain matter between their ears.  So  hoards are joining the stampede to become “survivalists”.  The movement has even spurred the development of the “survival industry”, with commercials now being played on mainstream media stations for freeze-dried storage foods and solar generators.

There is an old saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.”  So if you are going to go the path of being a “survivalist”, first you’ll want to know where you are going – and why.

Rense – by Stephen Lendman  Obama and other Washington extremists support an alphabet soup of federal and international freedom-destroying measures.

SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, ACTA, and now TPP are stealth pro-corporate, anti-populist hellish schemes.

Two previous articles by this writer called TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) ACTA 2.0 and a trade deal from hell. Another one said ACTA is worse than SOPA and PIPA.

Occupy Corporatism  The Ebola virus mysteriously appeared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 1976 and has sporadically reappeared in the area without explanation ever since. Mainstream medical professional believe that eating monkeys who are infected with Ebola is the initial mode of transmission. However this is accepted speculation because the scientific community agrees that the natural reservoir of the virus is unknown and therefore knowledge of transmission is only hypothesized.

The communist cotillion kicked off yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina with DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz taking the lead and flaunting the fact that the dual citizen Israeli-Americans are dominant in our government and the Israeli Zionists will continue to dictate our foreign policy as long as the status quo maintains control.

If Obama is elected, it is war with Iran, and most probably a third world war.  And on the other side of the coin, if Mitt Romney is elected, it is war with Iran, and most probably a third world war.

Obama is once again standing before crowds of people holding signs that say, “Change”.  What, they didn’t like the first change and now they want another change?  This has to be the stupidest slogan ever conceived.  The fact is before the ink dried on the Constitution the politicians were spouting “Change, change” and with few exceptions, the changes have all been for the worse.

I think what we need to do is un-change.  Get rid of NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, and every other international trade treaty.  Un-change.  Return American industry to America.  Un-change.  Get rid of the Federal Reserve and go back to minting our own money like the Constitution says.  Un-change.  Bring our troops back from all around the world and un-empire build.  Un-change.  Strike down the Patriot Act, Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA, and HR 347 Trespass Legislation.

Here are 24 signs that you might be a closet prepper:

• You’ve had a survival blog for 4 years and your spouse doesn’t know.
• Your family does not know there’s a case of Dinty Moore stew hidden in the basement
• You stand around the office water cooler laughing with your buddies about all those tin-foil hat wearers – but you have your own roll of Reynolds Wrap at home.

There is a lot of speculation as to what is about to unfold in light of the international elites’ declaration for their seizure of total power in the US.  Will it be bio attacks, dirty bombs, World War III, or just a plain old complete collapse of the economy?  For anyone to claim they have the slightest idea as to what is about to transpire, is beyond a stretch.  The fact is all of the elements above and more are distinct possibilities as the international corporate mafia, new world order, illuminati has never faced a foe, such as the 21^st century American national represents.

In days of yore, it was a simpler matter.  Those the elite wished to destroy were simply divided into two camps.  Then with the proper propaganda inserted through agitators, the people would simply kill one another while the elite kicked back in comfort to admire their handiwork.  I’m sure the elitist think tanks are finding themselves in a state of confusion in trying to devise a plan that procures our destruction without harming the elite.

Mitt Romney is saying that he, not Obama, is for the middle class, while Barack Obama is saying, “No, no, I’m for the middle class, not Mitt Romney.” Since the time Obama took office until June of 2012, the middle class has shrunk by 4.8%.  So if Obama is for the middle class, I’d hate to see what it would look like if he was against it.  Romney, on the other hand, as CEO of Bain Capital, shipped thousands of middle class jobs out of our country for profit.  Again, if this is what he considers being for the middle class, the middle class is in big trouble.

The middle class now makes up only 30% of our working population.  So what of the other 40%, the working poor and impoverished?  Well, screw ‘em.  I mean it is not like we have a vote.  In fact, not even the middle class has a vote as shown proof positive at the fraudulent Republican Convention.

Gas here where I live in southern Oregon is now up to $4.20 per gallon.  The explanation being given from the propagandists is of course the hurricane Isaac and the burning down of a refinery.  All the petroleum produced here in the United States is being exported and what we are seeing with these gas prices is nothing more than a further assertion of the power of the corporate aristocracy.

If you look at the mainstream propaganda machine you can plainly see that the elite are no longer attempting to fool us, now that they have declared themselves the aristocracy.  When you hear the messages coming from the so called media, they are nothing more than the elite speaking to their own.

Its been a long, strange trip.  We didn’t grow up on a farm.  We grew up in the city, a walk away from the grocery store, schools and friends. Our only training about self-reliance was that we were self-employed, but the business world was and is very different from knowing how to plant, how to cook with wood, how to milk and butcher a goat, or how to build a house.

We’ve come a looooong way from those days.  We’ve been counting only on ourselves for the last few years and we’ve learned so much in that time – mostly through trial and error.  We’ve built four  houses,  made a composting toilet, fixed trucks, harvested local edible plants, stayed up nights keeping the stove going so we didn’t freeze.  We learned to do without when we couldn’t get to town when something got used up, we learned to wash the dishes with only 2 gallons of water when the water delivery man couldn’t get up our road.  We learned that even without “much o’ nothin’”, nobody ever took away our birthday, nor did we ever starve.  It’s been wonderful.  We learned, first-hand, that “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”

Finally, MSNBC is launching the Democratic attack on their right wing nemesis, the Republican Party.  You see there has been very little discussion of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars in Tampa, and god damn it, the Israeli people have a right to know that the issue of their Middle East conquest is being addressed by those who would propose to rule over their commonwealth.  Likewise the industrial war complex has a right to be secure in knowing that the wealth of the United States will continue to be funneled to them and the international contractors will continue to grow fat on the blood of the American people and our resources.

We are paying $1 million per soldier per year in Iraq and Afghanistan as our middle class continues to shrink and our streets are filled with homeless and hungry people.  We must be on the right track as we are being told that we want to keep the status quo, whether it be through Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA Barry the Rat the south side of Chicago back alley pimp or Mitt the “I sold America out and have the money stashed in bank accounts around the world that I don’t want to talk about” Romney.

One of the biggest questions we get on our website, survivingsurvivalism.com, is how to begin achieving off-grid/energy independent status.  Not everyone can afford to go out and buy a 5 kilowatt solar array and the associated batteries.  This article is written for those of you who want to begin your road to energy independence, as well as being able to use your laptop, mobil devices, etc..
