SHTF Plan – by Mac SlavoOne thing that has become quite common in discussions about the possible collapse of our society is for people to romanticize what the world will look like. With the government gone, people think they’ll be free to do as they they please. They assume that, while the world as we know it will most certainly change, the system will remain fairly stable. Most of us want to believe there will be trading posts to replace grocery stores, that we’ll be able to produce our own food without being bothered, that community groups will defend our interests, and that our home defense armaments will be sufficient to repel looters.
Various theories exist on how the world will look in a post-collapse environment, much of them rooted in historical perspective.
One such scenario that has been presented in recent years is the breakup of the United States as we know it into several zones or regions. It’s a concept presented by Russian KGB analyst Igor Panarin, who believes such an eventuality is inevitable:
It would fall into six parts, and I back this up with several factors. First of all there are the ethnic, economical and geographic factors… totally different ethnic groups and ethnic interests.
Texas and the Gulf of Mexico coast are the fuel and energy complex. California is Silicon Valley and high tech. Considering New York, Washington and the Atlantic coast, they’re all financial centers first of all. And the northern states of the U.S. are basically the depressive states of the U.S., close to Canada in their mentality and economic development. This is how I divide these parts.
Considering this as a possibility, how would such a scenario take place?
If history is our guide it won’t be through peaceful negotiations. In fact, current events suggest that when a country breaks up, law and order collapses, and different factions vie for power, humans will show their true predatory nature and brutality.
Putting geopolitics aside for a moment, we need look no further than Iraq to understand just how bad things can get.
For those who hope that this collapse just “gets going” and that the system resets so we can start anew, understand that no global or national paradigm shift will happen without violence – extreme violence.
It’s the only way we humans know how to function, apparently. And it’s something we’ve seen time and again.
The following compilation of videos highlights just how brutal human beings can be and how far they will go to ensure the success of their agenda.
Men, women, children – all will become victims just as has been the case throughout human history.
Militias will be formed, armies will be raised, and the innocent will be pillaged and murdered.
In Iraq, an army of reportedly 12,000 strong is seizing cities across the country. Along the way they are killing anyone who stands in their way, and as some of the videos depict, they’re killing even those who are trying to get out of the way.
This is the reality of a post-collapse world.
***EXTREMELY VIOLENT IMAGERY***
ISIS army randomly targets vehicles and people trying to flee war-torn cities:
(video via Zero Hedge)
Executions are the order of the day:
Perhaps the above photo was some sort of pay-back, as the circumstances are not exactly clear. But even innocent civilians are convicted of crimes when the judge and jury become the attacking or occupying force. The following video shows civilian farmers (including children) who have been accused of cooperating with the national Army, a crime punishable by death insofar as ISIS rebels are concerned.
Executions are fun, at least to these English speaking ISIS members who like to play with the heads of those they have decapitated:
Make no mistake. Children will not be spared.
Reportedly thousands of men, teenagers and boys being lead to an unknown fate. It’s reminiscent of the images we’ve seen of World War II concentration camps, where people were ferried off to gas chambers en masse.
Given the brutality we’ve already seen from this organization, in all likelihood these people are already dead, as this video was shot several days ago.
This is the kind of world we will be facing should the system as we know it today collapse.
There will be no law. There will be no order. There will be no outside help coming.
Even a short trip to a marketplace or to trade goods with someone could, as was shown in the first video, lead to you being randomly killed or executed.
As great as a “system reset” may sound, the reality will be starkly different.
Mr and Mrs America, turn in your guns! I Don’t think so!!
Well, it seems the author gives us two choices:
Be hunted and slaughtered like animals OR live like slaves.
Which do you choose?
The author seems to imply a “Hunger Games” or “Revolution” style of life after collapse when he describes the different regions or factions that will be formed in this country. Would also go along with the FEMA camp zones.
” It’s reminiscent of the images we’ve seen of World War II concentration camps, where people were ferried off to gas chambers en masse.”
Still drinking the kool-aid, I see.

Mac Slavo (the Author) probably had a 1000 word deadline to meet. The thinking behind this article is silly.
The split will be on whether there is a “Central” government, “regional/interest” government or “anarchy”.
The situation in Iraq (and Syria and Libya, Nigeria, Sudan) is ( and has been since the Americans arrived) an instance of “regional/interest” governments, where different groups (basically Shia politicians, Sunni [ex-]military and Kurds) have set up regions of influence and take taxes and distribute welfare based on the “belonging” to the group. They also hand out punishment (e.g. death) to non-members. To survive you have belong to the group or move to where your group has control. This is now being played out in Ukraine.
Egypt is where the Central government has control and again belong to the “In” crowd or be punished. FEMA camps and death-sentences for opposing the central government are the weapons used. Stalinesque Russia, East Germany et al is the model.
The “Mad Max” scenario (Congo and Northern Uganda) are extremely rare and difficult to envisage. With todays technologies, going off-the-radar, will be extremely difficult. Anyone with reasonable drone technology can track huge areas. The news that 1/3 of all Americans already have implanted RFIDs implanted (without their knowledge or consent) and that these RFID can be pinged from satellite as well as drones make your chances of evasion small, unless the Central authority has a total collapse.
Doing a “Jeremiah Johnson” sounds nice, but I would not bet the house on it being an option.
I would bet that the most likely scenario will be “LA Riots conditions” (even in small communities) continuing for 2 – 3 months with 60% losses due to starvation and violence, then Central government (Probably military command [under Cheney type Politico] plus control of local police) will restore order with control of ports and transport (mainly fuel) to arrange and distribute food. Dissident action will be nil, as overwhelming force plus access to food and water will be motivators to comply.
Thereafter slow recovery and rebuild as in Japan and Germany 1946. (Remember over 700,000 German civilians (women and children) died AFTER the war from starvation and lack of medical attention)
Personal choice is a “Jeremiah Johnson” with them doing the hunting, and me hiding and living with head down and near starvation rations. Life under “Cheney government” would not be worth living
Another option is to strike back with such ferocity and dedication to cause as much damage and chaos to the system as possible. All of their neat toys and gadgets require a support system parts and repair. Drones require operators fuel and a base to operate from, cut off one and drones dont fly. Both Russia and America were beaten by farmers and nomads with an AK slung over his back. Even Ghenghis Kahn was defeated twice and lost over 2/3 of his forces invading Vietnam by villagers and fisherman.
Solinichyn{sp} spoke of the lament that they didnt set up and ambush the bolshervik jews murder squads in Russia because eventually they would have run out of agents and the supporting units and the nightmare would have ground to a halt.. Trucks wont run with out fuel, body armor is useless against fire and when the realization sinks in they may not get to clock out after shift or have a house or family to go home to will weaken the will to follow orders. At first it will be all bad but it wont take long to improve, However groups can be infiltrated and easy to spot. The lone wolf is the what strikes fear into the minds of control freaks and tyrants alike. The joker said it best, Look what I did with a few cans of gas and some bullets. The Art of War should be on everybodies read now list
