America's Climate Crisis
& How To Survive It
By Ted Twietmeyer
10-24-7
This isn't something I planned to write about but it needs to be said. The record drought pattern country wide with no end in sight has far more serious implications than the average person is probably aware of. We'll leave it to the experts to answer your questions whether currency will still have a value, how much gold you should buy or whether dollars will become as worthless as Nazi Deutch Marks. One big question still remains unanswered - if currency is deemed worthless and a system of credits or other monetary exchange is used, who will buy gold? Will anyone want it? Will you get fair value equivalent for it in the "new" currency, or simply be invisibly robbed almost overnight like many Europeans were when the Euro took over Europe? Or will simply owning gold become illegal and you'll never be able to sell it?
INCREASED TEMPERATURES ALL ACROSS AMERICA
On October 23, 2007 the temperature should have been in the 50's in western NY. Instead, it was 75F. The question remains what caused that and the increased heat across America? Global warming? HAARP? Our Sun? Or perhaps weather modification?
HAARP The High Frequency Active Aurora Research Project [2] has been blamed for everything from bees to boils to bird flu to weather problems. Yes, it can also raise havoc in the upper layers of the atmosphere and be used for experimental communications. But it can do so in a limited area, mainly over the array. Do jet streams run over that area of Alaska? Not really. If you have watched the weather map, you know there are principally TWO jet streams. One of the streams often passes over Washington State, and wanders in the flow direction either eastward or southeast. (Do NOT write me about HAARP.)
SUN Since other planets are warming up, it seems clear solar output is increasing. First of all, it's now known that not only Earth is heating up, but so are other planets like Mars in our solar system. Are there REALLY any cars and trucks on Mars?
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH SOLAR ACTIVITY
What's amazing about our Sun right now is the current LACK of activity at least according to NASA. With the 11 year solar cycle expected to peak in 2012 (again, according to NASA statements a few years ago) various satellites monitoring energies and particle emissions from our star are nearly silent. Solar activity for X-Rays, Magnetic flux, protons, electrons, etc... currently is virtually a straight line. This is ALL WRONG if the Sun's energy output is INCREASING, not DECREASING. Yet no scientists (or other internet writers) that I know of have pointed this out. Why?
Solar Proton (top) and Electron Flux (just below Proton chart) have been strangely quiet for more than a week. Three days are shown above.
Solar X-rays monitored by FOUR satellites on 10/23/07 all are relatively quiet for more than a week. Each color is a different satellite. Normally plotted lines at this point in the solar cycle would be running along the MIDDLE of the chart, not at the bottom.
Can we believe what we are seeing here? I think not. So who is the sole source for all this data? NASA - another arm of Uncle.
GLOBAL WARMING See previous paragraph.
WEATHER MODIFICATION - Idiotic weather "experiments" with as-yet un-announced agendas are a good possibility. And yes, this includes the endless chemtrail spraying as well. Yet hardly anyone in the population notices this or wants to. Stuffing one's head in the sand (so the butt can be kicked repeatedly) to prevent seeing what Uncle is doing to America is the great American national past- time. And there will be a price to pay for it, too.
FOOD AND WATER SHORTAGES
A recent rense.com article about possible food riots [1] clearly pointed out in detail that grain storage in the food industry is essentially non-existent. This has serious implications which everyone must plan for.
It's unrealistic to think everyone has the ability or financial resources to just pack up and move out of the city and into the sticks. This clever idea is strongly supported by people who are probably less than 30 years old, unmarried or don't own a home or have a family. If someone is in this category, they think everyone can do this. If you are sick, disabled, elderly, need shelter, refrigeration for health or medical reasons then "roughing it" in the sticks is not realistic. What is needed is a realistic way to work with what you have, and to obtain a measure of security and peace of mind.
There are several ways that you can prevent experiencing the real terror of running out of something to eat with no possibility of obtaining more. Planning for this serious problem is NOT an option for any of us. There are piles of books on this subject written by experts. Every emergency supply company on the web has their own ideas of what they think is best. And they sell them for a price, too. Expect to pay about $2,000.00 per person for a year's worth of food you can store. Though not an expert on this subject, I've included here some of the essential concepts of this subject I've learned over the years. (Those topics marked with a + what I consider to by my own unique ideas.)
+ First, you be able to sacrifice your luxuries to create real food storage. Cut back on cable or dish TV services. Cancel your cell phone service (it won't work anyway if society starts to fall apart.) Need cell phone for an emergency? Go buy a pre-paid phone. Consider that mankind lived for thousands of years without cell phones, and will live without them when they are gone. Don't go out to eat, and sacrifice EVERY luxury you take for granted. You are planning to save the lives of you and your family.
+ If you want privacy while storing a cell phone, you will need to find a 100% metal container or can to put the phone in. All cell phones can be silently activated by Uncle for eavesdropping. Taking the battery out doesn't completely eliminate this problem. The metal can completely shields the phone from satellite and network RF signals that can be used to turn it on. It will never ring while inside the can either.
+ Do you and your family REALLY want be knocking at the gate of a FEMA POW camp in your state begging to get in for a meal when it's 10 above zero? Think they will let you leave later after you get in and gorge up on an MRE meal? If you think that can't ever happen to you, think again. Anyone is better off dead than to suffer a life sentence in a FEMA LABOR camp.
* Starving to death is a terrible, painful way to leave this Earth. Think of Terry Shiavo and what happened to her.
* When stockpiling your own food storage, plan on defending it with deadly force if needs be to prevent theft. Take a gun course for safety. This is the life of you and your family you'll be defending. Learn how to do it right, and how to identify your target BEFORE you pull the trigger.
+ If the economy collapses, local police will NOT report for work. They will be staying home and trying to take care of their families. Would you work at a job which tells you
"come on in to work, risk your life, but you're not going to get paid?" YOU will become the police department for your home. And perhaps judge, jury and executioner. All you'll ever see on the street under martial law are military police, and they could care less about who has had their food stolen. In fact, if you complain to them they will probably take you at gunpoint to a FEMA camp. Military police will be more concerned with rounding up people on a list (like me) and preventing looting. Your problems are meaningless to them. Think about the people who lived through Katrina and what they are still going through. Any questions?
+ Setup TWO food storage areas. One area which has some expired food and food you will be living on, is intended for thieves to find. This are is most likely your kitchen. Put a small mark on cans and other items which you do NOT want to eat. Think of these as props on a stage or movie set. Don't make the mark too obvious however. Just place a small black dot with a magic marker on the lid or label. You will create another secret hidden storage area that ONLY you and your spouse know about. (More on that later.)
+ Why can't you tell your children, friends or relatives about your secret storage area? Children love to brag in school and to friends, and they will never consider the serious problems this can bring when life really turns the thumbscrews. Children, friends and relatives love to share secrets with friends they *think* will keep it secret. But they have no clue who will really keep the secret. Once the location of your hidden storage area is blabbed around town, your food's security will come to an abrupt end. In fact, it could lead to a home invasion or even a confiscation of everything, including you and your family. A little paranoia here is good the lives you save WILL be your own and that of your family.
+ Build a false wall to hide your real storage area. It can be on the kitchen level or in the basement if you have one. To build one of these, here are the basic steps:
1. 1. Pick a wall location perhaps 10ft. long which isn't too long and isn't obvious, so that making the wall appear "thicker" with the false wall will not be obvious. In American homes built since the 1950's, walls are typically 8ft. high. Use a stud finder to locate the nails where the ceiling joists are. Measure out from the wall about 2 to 3ft. and mark a line on the floor parallel with the wall with chalk. This marks the bottom edge of your new wall.
2. The National Electrical code has mandated that at least one AC outlet must be on every wall. This will work to your advantage. In some states there must be an outlet every 10ft. This means that you can pick a location for your secret room with an outlet. Since the outlet will be behind the new false wall, you can plug a lamp or overhead fixture into it for temporary lighting. There are also surface wiring components available at home improvement centers, which will allow you to remove the outlet cover-plate, and screw a junction box onto the surface. Then you can use surface conduit to do a proper wiring job. This is highly recommended over using a lamp.
3. Build the shelves for it first, and screw them into place. Make them as shallow as possible, so you can still get in for access.
4. Build your wall with 2x4 studs using either drywall or paneling (whichever matches the current room's wall best) so that it can have a small door at one end. The door should be well hidden behind a sofa or chair so it completely covers it.
5. If you're mechanically inclined, you can pivot the false wall with hidden hinges at one end and put a wheel under the other end. There are several options here. Closets and short walls are good for doing this, since you won't have to build a massive living- room sized wall. If you use a wheel which moves across carpeting, rub the carpet to remove wheel prints after you close the wall. For Anne Frank, it was the marks on the hardwood floor from moving the bookcase that gave away the location of the hidden stairway which was spotted by the Germans.
You will have to build the wall in place. If you plan to build it with it lying on the floor and then erect it, you'll be forced to build it to less than the standard 8ft. height and you'll have a tell-tale gap along the top or bottom. Your completed wall can weigh several hundred pounds, depending on the length of it and whether you use drywall or paneling. You can't stand up an 8ft. high wall against an 8ft. high wall it will hit the ceiling before it's fully vertical. If you don't build this right, you will have wall you can't use otherwise known as a disaster! But if done right, you'll have better security for your food, fuel and water than any other security system can provide. After all if an alarm system goes off and there are no police for it to call, just what good is it?
* Here's an important part about food storage almost no one never considers: You must LIVE off your food storage all the time. That is, always eat the oldest food first. Add new food to it in rotation. In supermarkets, old stock is always brought to the front and newer stock is placed at the rear. If this isn't done, in about a year all the old cans would start to swell up from the gas created by deadly botulism toxin and other bacteria growing inside the cans and jars.
* Cans which don't swell up can still contain life-threatening bacteria and toxins- think about all the food recalls over the past years. In the early stages of spoilage, you cannot tell just by looking food or smelling it whether it's harmful or not. This doesn't mean you need to duck into your secret food storage area every day. Rather, do it once or week or perhaps twice a month. It's a habit you have to form, and later it will become second nature.
* MARK every can and jar with the current date you put it on the shelf. Manufacturer's date codes are essentially meaningless and are meant to be intentionally cryptic. Buy your food from stores where you know stock is fresh. Canned and jarred food is designed to last about a year or more on a supermarket shelf. This is about how long it will also last in your home, too.
+ Don't place all your faith in quick and easy to buy MRE food storage. This is intended only as temporary food and not long term. Processing food during the manufacture of MREs can destroy its nutritional value as real food and break down most vitamins into a useless form. Canned foods may not be much better nutritionally, but you do not need to add water to them. Just open them and heat them up. This cuts down on water consumption. And don't forget to store more than one can opener, too!
+ Remember to store WATER LOTS of it. Not all of it needs to be drinkable. Toilets still work quite well even in a power failure, but only if you have a couple gallons of water to dump in the tank to force-flush it. You may have one of the newer power flush toilets (if you open the lid, inside the tank you'll find a sealed, pre-pressurized canister instead of water.) If so, you cannot simply pour water into the tank to flush it.
You will have to pour water into the bowl instead, which will not rinse the sides of the toilet bowl. A toilet brush can supplement the flush cycle. In the 90's I kept my family comfortable at home for a week without AC power during an ice storm, yet we still had television and radio, heat and light to keep it comfortable. All it takes is a little creativity to survive without power.
* You can do some simple calculating to determine how much of your water supply needs to be drinkable, and how much does not. A Big- Berky water purifier could be useful. With a system like this, you can safely drink water from lakes and streams with this gravity powered filtration device.
* In a bind (during any season but winter) you can extract water from the atmosphere overnight with a small pit in the ground, a sheet of plastic stretched over it with a rock in the center and a cup under the lowest point of the plastic sheet in the pit. Water will condense on the underside of the plastic, and run to the lowest point and drip into the cup.
+ Don't forget to stock plenty of toilet paper and personal items for the women in your family! It's quite easy to forget basic items like that.
* When storing potable water, it will be drinkable for about 6 months. This too, needs to be cycled through periodically. Add a very small amount of chlorine bleach (about a 1/2 teaspoon) per gallon to prevent bacteria and algae growth. If you have a water purifier you can use it to turn undrinkable water into drinkable water, although you should still boil it first before use to kill viruses.
+ Remember that although sunlight will destroy bacteria and viruses, it also neutralizes the effects of chlorine in less than a day. Sunlight will encourage algae growth once the chlorine is neutralized.
* Stockpile games and snacks. Living off food storage will not have the variety we take for granted in everyday life, but it can help make survival bearable.
+ Fuel if you can, store propane. It's safer, spill proof and more efficient than Kerosene. However, propane is heavier than air. You can hide propane and a camp stove to cook on, and a heater in your secret storage area along with your fuel. If you have natural gas service or oil deliveries, don't count on your service staying on for long in the event of society collapsing and you can't pay them. Gas companies will still want to be paid, no matter what your family's hardship is. Uncle will give them special permission to go out and turn gas off at residences. This would be to make life miserable so people will go begging at the doors of FEMA camps. All utility and oil companies are ruthless, and they will survive in some form when the crap hits the fan. They will be needed when society is reconstructed into the twisted vision of a handful who believes they know what's best for the world.
* Build and plan your storage with at least a YEAR in mind. Don't know how much you will need? Look at your weekly consumption and multiply it by at least 52. Some of the food you consume you can do without or cut back on, but not all of it. Old habits and cravings die hard!
* There are hydroponic systems which make it possible to grow food indoors near windows, or by the use of small screw-in florescent light bulbs. These may also be applicable depending on where you live. You'll need to hide such systems from theft..
* Once you've built a secret storage area and have a year's worth of food, water and fuel, you can rest a bit. But don't forget to LIVE off your storage EVERY DAY!
+ When you go to the store and return home this, is what you'll do when no one is around:
1. Go to your secret food storage, and pull out the oldest stock (based on dates you wrote on the containers) and move that food to your NON-secret storage area. Most likely this will be your kitchen cupboards.
2. Take what you just bought, mark it with today's date and put that in your SECRET storage area in the newest location. Shelves that can be stocked from the front and back are great for this put the newest food in the back, and use it to push the older food toward the front. That's all you have to do! You've just rotated your stock like a grocery store to prevent spoilage. And the food you'll be eating each day won't be that old since it's always being rotated.
WATER THE ILLUSION OF ABUNDANCE
There is a possibility of water rationing happening sooner than later if the current weather patterns persist. Lake Meade (which supplies Hoover Dam) is down more than 100ft and is never expected to recover to full capacity. This is because the snow pack in the mountains that supplies Lake Meade is vanishing. Each year less snow falls which makes things worse. North Georgia and other states are threatened with running out of water. Eventually, we could see Hoover Dam decommissioned as a power plant. This is a scary thought indeed, considering how much power it generates for the western United States.
Those loving people at the Pentagon have already announced they are expecting "Water Wars" in the future. Maybe this was announced because they plan to start at least one of these. The first water war test may be Uncle against us.
All weapons that were ever made were tested on AMERICAN SOIL FIRST. Including testing of the ATOMIC BOMB numerous times. Why would weather control be any different?
A NATURAL HISTORY OF DECREASING GROUND WATER
Water tables around the country are dropping lower and lower, and this has been going on for many years. Here's a perfect first-hand example of this. In 1980 we rented a home in a town called Springwater. The town, which is dead-center in western NY State, had been known for abundant, pure water found everywhere. This was true in the higher altitudes around the town which didn't have much rain, but have regular fog because of clouds.
The home we rented was located about 2 miles outside of the tiny town, and built in 1820. On the side of the house is a hand-dug well which was also dug in 1820. The well was bone dry in 1980 when we lived there. What supplies water to the home today? A drilled well which is 604ft. deep with a multi-stage submersible pump at the bottom. Why? Not because the local population was lowering the water table. And there are only about 5 homes per square mile in that area even today, 27 years later. The reason why the water table has dropped so far? A lack of rain, long before gasoline engines existed to be blamed for it.
It's important to keep in mind that almost EVERYTHING government (i.e., Uncle) does has a twisted military purpose. Uncle's Scientists while starting up HAARP back in the 1990s were bragging about how they will be able to "Create mirrors for radio signals in the upper atmosphere, and storms behind our troops to protect them." Both are truly idiotic ideas when you really think about them. Our troops need supply lines from behind just like all armies have throughout Earth's history. Instead, I think these were just cover stories. (Please do NOT email me about HAARP again. I've already read all the available information on it and HAARP is not the focus of this article and any such emails will be deleted and not read.)
It seems that no one really sees the writing on the wall. For decades Uncle has created and maintained on-going plans to go to war with most of the world. Isn't it amazing what an influence the defense industry has on politics?
CONCLUSION
Less snow and less rain are falling across America, and temperatures are also far warmer than in the past. This is a double- edge sword which threatens everyday life as we know it. It is not known if weather trends in Europe over the past few years are better or worse. There was of course that horrific summer in Paris, where thousands died from the heat. Yet it remains to be seen if this is part of a pattern. Since the USA water problem may be an on- going problem, it appears things will only get worse. It's up to everyone to prepare for this possibility now, or suffer as a result of their indifference later. Consider this what do you have to lose?
Make a sacrifice to build up your food, water and fuel resources now. Do without luxuries NOW, or you WILL be doing without food and water LATER if everything collapses. It's better than dying of thirst, freezing or starving to death. And if the end of civilized life as we know it doesn't come to an end after all? Then you still have all the food bought which you can eat, and nothing was lost! This is a win-win proposition!
Ever have a friend who you knew for years, but when you were in a time of crisis he/she didn't even know your name? Uncle will abruptly stop the illusion of being your friend and protector, and quickly show he's really your enemy if and when that day of reckoning comes. Anyone that doesn't think this is true should go visit the FEMA camp in Louisiana, which still has thousands of "detainees" - years after Katrina ended.
Will you be ready when food, fuel and water are no longer available?
