Any single event or combination of events could cause terrible life /death circumstances for a short or long period of time:
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, tornados, volcanic eruptions, solar flares, earthquakes, and other geophysical events
Possibility of wars, nuclear wars, nuclear reactor meltdowns, and radiation fallout
Financial meltdown (derivative, debt crisis, economic collapse and/or bond implosion) causing currencies to implode and governments to topple
Problems with the exploration, delivery, or production of oil, the lifeblood of modern economies
Spread of disease such as the Black Plague or a bird flu pandemic
Power grid failure
Political anarchy or revolution
Racial strife or civil war
Electromagnetic pulse event
With any of these events listed above (and there is a host of others I have probably not even thought about), you could have local, national, or global unrest and even war for an extended period of time depending on the scope and duration of the event(s).
An item that is not on the list — but could be equally devastating to individual families — is the loss of a job.
Be prepared and start making your lists…..this is your first step towards you goal……. preparation
Why not prepare while you still can — when things are readily available and can still be purchased at cheap prices? The coming hyper-inflation will make any such purchases beforehand look very intelligent…
To prepare for the worst, you need a plan. Why are most people so against doing basic preparations that could be the difference on how they survive — or whether they survive?

Specific Recommendations For Developing Your Lists:
Water List House downspout conversion sheet metal work and barrels. (BTW, this is another good reason to upgrade your retreat to a fireproof metal roof.) Drawing water from open sources. Buy extra containers. Don’t buy big barrels, since five gallon food grade buckets are the largest size that most people can handle without back strain. For transporting water if and when gas is too precious to waste, buy a couple of heavy duty two wheel garden carts–convert the wheels to foam filled “no flats†tires. (BTW, you will find lots of other uses for those carts around your retreat, such as hauling hay, firewood, manure, fertilizer, et cetera.) Treating water. Buy plain Clorox hypochlorite bleach. A little goes a long way. Buy some extra half-gallon bottles for barter and charity. If you can afford it, buy a “Big Berkey†British Berkefeld ceramic water filter. (Available from Ready Made Resources and several other Internet vendors. Even if you have pure spring water at your retreat, you never know where you may end up, and a good filter could be a lifesaver.)
Food Storage List Store the essentials, in quantity: Salt: Salt is very important to store, both for preserving food and as a practical means to attract wild game. (It is noteworthy that in many locales, natural salt licks are off-limits to hunters, since hunting there is too easy and hence not considered sporting. That ought to tell you something.) I recommend that you store several times more salt than you think that you’ll ever need. Unless you literally live next to a salt lick or salt marsh, I cannot overemphasize the importance of storing salt. The Memsahib and I formerly lived in the Upper Clearwater River Valley in Idaho. In that region, deer and elk would walk many, many miles to get to natural salt licks where they would congregate in large numbers. Salt is cheap and plentiful now, but in the event of TEOTWAWKI it will be a scarce and valuable commodity in most inland regions. Salt also has a virtually unlimited shelf life. Do some research on natural salt deposits near your intended retreat. That could be quite valuable knowledge in the event of TEOTWAWKI. Lay in a supply of 10 pounds of salt per member of your family. (This figure may sound high, but again it includes extra for attracting wild game.) The portion for cooking and table salt should be iodized. Rice:I prefer brown rice, even though its storage life is shorter that that of white rice. The combined weight should be about 30 pounds per adult, per year. Storage life is +/- 8 years. Wheat (or substitute grains, for celiacs): Grain storage is a crucial aspect of family preparedness. Grain will soon no longer be cheap or plentiful, so stock up! Buy 220 pounds per adult, per year. (Part of this can be in the form of pasta.) Storage life is 30+ years. Buy plenty for your family and your livestock. I also recommend buying plenty of extra for barter and charity. You’ll soon be glad that you did. I do not recommend storing flour, since it only keeps for two or three years. Whole wheat stores for 30+ years with 80% or more of its nutritional value. Buy whole grains and a hand wheat grinder. Don’t overlook the easiest preparation method of all: soaked wheat berries. By simply soaking whole wheat for 24 to 36 hours, it plumps and softens. When then heated, wheat berries make a nutritious breakfast cereal. Corn: Whole corn stores much longer than cracked corn or corn meal. (Grind your own.) Get 50 pounds per adult, per year. The storage life of whole corn is 8 to 12 years, but cracked or ground corn stores only 18 to 36 months Oats: Lay in a supply of 20 pounds per adult, per year. The storage life of oats is 3 to 7 years, depending on variety and packing method. Fats and Oils: I recommend storing primarily olive oil (frozen, in plastic bottles), mayonnaise, canned butter, and peanut butter. The combined weight of these should be about 96 pounds per adult, per year. (Four gallons is about 24 pounds.) The canned products must be continuously rotated, or else donated to charity bi-annually. The frozen oil should be rotated or else donated to charity once every four years. Powdered Milk: Buy the nonfat variety. Store about 20 pounds per adult, per year. For the longest storage life, it is best to buy nitrogen packed dry milk from a storage food vendor. That type has a 5+ year shelf life. Canned Fruit and Vegetables: It is most economical (and good practice) to can your own. As long as you rotate continuously, you should lay in a two year supply per family member. Canned Meats: Again, you must rotate continuously, and don’t store more than you would use in two years. I like the DAK brand canned hams. Sugars: I prefer honey also a supply of sugar, molasses, sorghum, maple syrup, and various jams and jellies. The combined weight of these should be about 50 pounds per adult, per year.
Other important items for your food storage: – Canning lids and rings—buy plenty of extras for barter. – Sulfur for drying fruit. – Vinegar-Buy a couple of cases of one-gallon bottles. – Spices. – Baking soda. – Yeast. – Food storage (freezer and vacuum) bags. – Aluminum foil (Buy lots! 101 uses, including making improvised solar ovens.) – Deer bags.
Food Preparation List Having more people under your roof will necessitate having an oversize skillet and a huge stew pot. BTW, you will want to buy several huge kettles, because odds are you will have to heat water on your wood stove for bathing, dish washing, and clothes washing. You will also need even more kettles, barrels, and 5 or 6 gallon PVC buckets–for water hauling, rendering, soap making, and dying. They will also make great barter or charity items. (To quote my mentor Dr. Gary North: “Nails: buy a barrel of them. Barrels: Buy a barrel of them!â€) Don’t overlook skinning knives, gut-buckets, gambrels, and meat saws.
Personal List (Make a separate personal list for each family member and individual expected to arrive at your retreat.) Spare glasses. Prescription and nonprescription medications. Birth control. Keep dentistry up to date. Any elective surgery that you’ve been postponing Work off that gut. Stay in shape. Back strength and health—particularly important, given the heavy manual tasks required for self-sufficiency. Educate yourself on survival topics, and practice them. For example, even if you don’t presently live at your retreat, you should plant a vegetable garden every year. It is better to learn through experience and make mistakes now, when the loss of crop is an annoyance rather than a crucial event. “Comfort†items to help get through high stress times. (Books, games, CDs, chocolates, etc.)
First Aid /Minor Surgery List When tailoring this list, consider your neighborhood going for many months without power, extensive use of open flames, and sentries standing picket shifts exposed in the elements. Then consider axes, chainsaws and tractors being wielded by newbies, and a greater likelihood of gunshot wounds. With all of this, add the possibility of no access to doctors or high tech medical diagnostic equipment. Put a strong emphasis on burn treatment first aid supplies. Don’t overlook do-it-yourself dentistry! (Oil of cloves, temporary filling kit, extraction tools, et cetera.) Buy a full minor surgery outfit (inexpensive Pakistani stainless steel instruments), even if you don’t know how to use them all yet. You may have to learn, or you will have the opportunity to put them in the hands of someone experienced who needs them.) This is going to be a big list!
Chem/Nuclear Defence List Dosimeter and rate meter, and charger, radiac meter (hand held Geiger counter), rolls of sheet plastic (for isolating airflow to air filter inlets and for covering window frames in the event that windows are broken due to blast effects), duct tape, HEPA filters (ands spares) for your shelter. Potassium iodate (KI) tablets to prevent thyroid damage.(See my recent post on that subject.) Outdoor shower rig for just outside your shelter entrance.
Biological Warfare Defense List Disinfectants Hand Sanitizer Sneeze masks Colloidal silver generator and spare supplies (distilled water and .999 fine silver rod.) Natural antibiotics (Echinacea, Tea Tree oil, …)
Gardening List One important item for your gardening list is the construction of a very tall deer-proof and rabbit-proof fence. Under current circumstances, a raid by deer on your garden is probably just an inconvenience. After the balloon goes up, it could mean the difference between eating well, and starvation. Top Soil/Amendments/Fertilizers. Tools+ spares for barter/charity Long-term storage non hybrid (open pollinated) seed. (Non-hybrid “heirloom†seed assortments tailors to different climate zones are available from The Ark Institute Herbs: Get started with medicinal herbs such as aloe vera (for burns), echinacea (purple cone flower), valerian, et cetera.
Hygiene/Sanitation List Sacks of powdered lime for the outhouse. Buy plenty! TP in quantity (Stores well if kept dry and away from vermin and it is lightweight, but it is very bulky. This is a good item to store in the attic. See my novel about stocking up on used phone books for use as TP. Soap in quantity (hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, cleansers, etc.) Bottled lye for soap making. Ladies’ supplies. Toothpaste (or powder). Floss. Fluoride rinse. (Unless you have health objections to the use of fluoride.) Sunscreen. Livestock List: Hoof rasp, hoof nippers, hoof pick, horse brushes, hand sheep shears, styptic, carding combs, goat milking stand, teat dip, udder wash, Bag Balm, elastrator and bands, SWOT fly repellent, nail clippers (various sizes), Copper-tox, leads, leashes, collars, halters, hay hooks, hay fork, manure shovel, feed buckets, bulk grain and C-O-B sweet feed (store in galvanized trash cans with tight fitting lids to keep the mice out), various tack and saddles, tack repair tools, et cetera. If your region has selenium deficient soil (ask your local Agricultural extension office) then be sure to get selenium-fortified salt blocks rather than plain white salt blocks–at least for those that you are going to set aside strictly for your livestock.
Hunting/Fishing/Trapping List “Buckshot†Bruce Hemming has produced an excellent series of videos on trapping and making improvised traps. (He also sells traps and scents at very reasonable prices.) Night vision gear, spares, maintenance, and battery charging Salt. Post-TEOTWAWKI, don’t “go hunting.†That would be a waste of effort. Have the game come to you. Buy 20 or more salt blocks. They will also make very valuable barter items. Sell your fly fishing gear (all but perhaps a few flies) and buy practical spin casting equipment. Extra tackle may be useful for barter, but probably only in a very long term Crunch. Buy some frog gigs if you have bullfrogs in your area. Buy some crawfish traps if you have crawfish in your area. Learn how to rig trot lines and make fish traps for non-labor intensive fishing WTSHTF.
Power/Lighting/Batteries List One proviso: In the event of a “grid down†situation, if you are the only family in the area with power, it could turn your house into a “come loot me†beacon at night. At the same time, your house lighting will ruin the night vision of your LP/OP pickets. Make plans and buy materials in advance for making blackout screens or fully opaque curtains for your windows. When possible, buy nickel metal hydride batteries. (Unlike the older nickel cadmium technology, these have no adverse charge level “memory†effect.) If your home has propane appliances, get a “tri-fuel†generator–with a carburetor that is selectable between gasoline, propane, and natural gas. If you heat your home with home heating oil, then get a diesel-burning generator. (And plan on getting at least one diesel burning pickup and/or tractor). In a pinch, you can run your diesel generator and diesel vehicles on home heating oil. Kerosene lamps; plenty of extra wicks, mantles, and chimneys. (These will also make great barter items.) Fuels List Buy the biggest propane, home heating oil, gas, or diesel tanks that your local ordinances permit and that you can afford. Always keep them at least two-thirds full. For privacy concerns, ballistic impact concerns, and fire concerns, underground tanks are best if your local water table allows it. In any case, do not buy an aboveground fuel tank that would visible from any public road or navigable waterway. Buy plenty of extra fuel for barter. Don’t overlook buying plenty of kerosene. (For barter, you will want some in one or two gallon cans.) Stock up on firewood or coal. (See my previous blog posts.) Get the best quality chainsaw you can afford. I prefer Stihls and Husqvarnas. If you can afford it, buy two of the same model. Buy extra chains, critical spare parts, and plenty of two-cycle oil. (Two-cycle oil will be great for barter!) Get a pair of Kevlar chainsaw safety chaps. They are expensive but they might save yourself a trip to the emergency room. Always wear gloves, goggles, and ear-muffs. Wear a logger’s helmet when felling. Have someone who is well experienced teach you how to re-sharpen chains. BTW, don’t cut up your wood into rounds near any rocks or you will destroy a chain in a hurry.
Firefighting List Now that you have all of those flammables on hand (see the previous list) and the prospect of looters shooting tracer ammo or throwing Molotov cocktails at your house, think in terms of fire fighting from start to finish without the aid of a fire department. Even without looters to consider, you should be ready for uncontrolled brush or residential fires, as well as the greater fire risk associated with greenhorns who have just arrived at your retreat working with wood stoves and kerosene lamps! Upgrade your retreat with a fireproof metal roof. 2†water line from your gravity-fed storage tank (to provide large water volume for firefighting) Fire fighting rig with an adjustable stream/mist head. Smoke and CO detectors.
Tactical Living List Adjust your wardrobe buying toward sturdy earth-tone clothing. (Frequent your local thrift store and buy extras for retreat newcomers, charity, and barter.) Dyes. Stock up on some boxes of green and brown cloth dye. Buy some extra for barter. With dye, you can turn most light colored clothes into semi-tactical clothing on short notice. Two-inch wide burlap strip material in green and brown. This burlap is available in large spools from Gun Parts Corp. Even if you don’t have time now, stock up so that you can make camouflage ghillie suits post-TEOTWAWKI. Save those wine corks! (Burned cork makes quick and cheap face camouflage.) Cold weather and foul weather gear—buy plenty, since you will be doing more outdoor chores, hunting, and standing guard duty. Don’t overlook ponchos and gaiters. Mosquito repellent. Synthetic double-bag (modular) sleeping bags for each person at the retreat, plus a couple of spares. The Wiggy’s brand Flexible Temperature Range Sleep System (FTRSS) made by Wiggy’s of Grand Junction, Colorado is highly recommended. Night vision gear + IR floodlights for your retreat house Subdued flashlights and penlights. Noise, light, and litter discipline. (More on this in future posts–or perhaps a reader would like to send a brief article on this subject) Security-General: Locks, intrusion detection/alarm systems, exterior obstacles (fences, gates, 5/8†diameter (or larger) locking road cables, rosebush plantings, “decorative†ponds (moats), ballistic protection (personal and residential), anti-vehicular ditches/berms, anti-vehicular concrete “planter boxesâ€, razor wire, etc.) Starlight electronic light amplification scopes are critical tools for retreat security. A Starlight scope (or goggles, or a monocular) literally amplifies low ambient light by up to 100,000 times, turning nighttime darkness into daylight–albeit a green and fuzzy view. Starlight light amplification technology was first developed during the Vietnam War. Late issue Third Generation (also called or “Third Gen†or “Gen 3â€) starlight scopes can cost up to $3,500 each. Rebuilt first gen (early 1970s technology scopes can often be had for as little as $500. Russian-made monoculars (with lousy optics) can be had for under $100. One Russian model that uses a piezoelectric generator instead of batteries is the best of this low-cost breed. These are best used as backups (in case your expensive American made scopes fail. They should not be purchased for use as your primary night vision devices unless you are on a very restrictive budget. (They are better than nothing.) Buy the best starlight scopes, goggles, and monoculars you can afford. They may be life-savers! If you can afford to buy only one, make it a weapon sight such as an AN/PVS-4, with a Gen 2 (or better) tube. Make sure to specify that that the tube is new or “low hoursâ€, has a high “line pair†count, and minimal scintillation. It is important to buy your Starlight gear from a reputable dealer. The market is crowded with rip-off artists and scammers. One dealer that I trust, is Al Glanze (spoken “Glan-zeeâ€) who runs STANO Components, Inc. in Silver City, Nevada. Note: In a subsequent blog posts I will discuss the relationship and implications to IR illuminators and tritium sights. Range cards and sector sketches. If you live in the boonies, piece together nine of the USGS 15-minute maps, with your retreat property on the center map. Mount that map on an oversize map board. Draw in the property lines and owner names of all of your surrounding neighbor’s parcels (in pencil) in at least a five mile radius. (Get boundary line and current owner name info from your County Recorder’s office.) Study and memorize both the terrain and the neighbors’ names. Make a phone number/e-mail list that corresponds to all of the names marked on the map, plus city and county office contact numbers for quick reference and tack it up right next to the map board. Cover the whole map sheet with a sheet of heavy-duty acetate, so you can mark it up just like a military commander’s map board. (This may sound a bit “over the topâ€, but remember, you are planning for the worst case. It will also help you get to know your neighbors: When you are introduced by name to one of them when in town, you will be able to say, “Oh, don’t you live about two miles up the road between the Jones place and the Smith’s ranch?†They will be impressed, and you will seem like an instant “old timer.â€
Security-Firearms List Guns, ammunition, web gear, eye and ear protection, cleaning equipment, carrying cases, scopes, magazines, spare parts, gunsmithing tools, targets and target frames, et cetera. Each rifle and pistol should have at least six top quality (original military contract or original manufacturer) full capacity spare magazines.
Communications/Monitoring List When selecting radios buy only models that will run on 12 volt DC power or rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery packs (that can be recharged from your retreat’s 12 VDC power system without having to use an inverter.) As a secondary purchasing goal, buy spare radios of each type if you can afford them. Keep your spares in sealed metal boxes to protect them from EMP. If you live in a far inland region, I recommend buying two or more 12 VDC marine band radios. These frequencies will probably not be monitored in your region, leaving you an essentially private band to use. (But never assume that any two-way radio communications are secure!)
Tools List Gardening tools. Auto mechanics tools. Welding. Bolt cutters–the indispensable “universal key.†Woodworking tools. Gunsmithing tools. Emphasis on hand powered tools. Hand or treadle powered grinding wheel. Don’t forget to buy plenty of extra work gloves (in earth tone colors). Sundries List: Systematically list the things that you use on a regular basis, or that you might need if the local hardware store were to ever disappear: wire of various gauges, duct tape, reinforced strapping tape, chain, nails, nuts and bolts, weather stripping, abrasives, twine, white glue, cyanoacrylate glue, et cetera.
Book/Reference List

The book encompasses wilderness survival skills from the world’s most elite military units
Barter and Charity List For your barter list, acquire primarily items that are durable, non-perishable, and either in small packages or that are easily divisible.
Concentrate on the items that other people are likely to overlook or have in short supply.
ammunition will be worth nearly its weight in silver. Store all of your ammo in military surplus ammo cans (with seals that are still soft) and it will store for decades. Stick to common calibers, get plenty of .22 l LR (most high velocity hollow points) plus at least ten boxes of the local favorite deer hunting cartridge, even if you don’t own a rifle chambered for this cartridge. (Ask your local sporting goods shop about their top selling chamberings). Also buy at least ten boxes of the local police department’s standard pistol cartridge, again even if you don’t own a pistol chambered for this cartridge. Ladies supplies. Salt (Buy lots of cattle blocks and 1 pound canisters of iodized table salt.) (Stores indefinitely if kept dry.) Two cycle engine oil (for chain saw gas mixing. Gas may still be available after a collapse, but two-cycle oil will probably be like liquid gold!) Gas stabilizer. Diesel antibacterial additive. 50-pound sacks of lime (for outhouses). 1 oz. bottles of military rifle bore cleaner and Break Free (or similar) lubricant. Waterproof dufflebags in earth tone colors (whitewater rafting “dry bagsâ€). Thermal socks. Semi-waterproof matches (from military rations.) Military web gear (lots of folks will suddenly need pistol belts, holsters, magazine pouches, et cetera.) Pre-1965 silver dimes. 1-gallon cans of kerosene. Rolls of olive drab parachute cord. Rolls of olive-drab duct tape. Spools of monofilament fishing line. Rolls of 10 mil “Visqueenâ€, sheet plastic (for replacing windows, isolating airspaces for nuke scenarios, etc.) I also respect the opinion of one gentleman with whom I’ve corresponded, who recommended the following: Strike anywhere matches. (Dip the heads in paraffin to make them waterproof.) Playing cards. Cooking spices. (Do a web search for reasonably priced bulk spices.) Rope & string. Sewing supplies. Candle wax and wicking. Lastly, any supplies necessary for operating a home-based business. Some that you might consider are: leather crafting, small appliance repair, gun repair, locksmithing, et cetera. Every family should have at least one home-based business (preferably two!) that they can depend on in the event of an economic collapse. Stock up on additional items to dispense to refugees as charity.
Where to Buy
Many of the items on the lists are available locally.
Some of the less known items are available from Survival internet advertisers.
I was able to come across this great video of I, Pet Goat II by team Heliofant. The animation is some of the best I have seen in awhile, even better than major Pixar and Disney movies (albeit much shorter). It is obviously a highly symbolic short and subject to many different interpretations, but I thought I would propose my take on it and you all can hopefully add your takes or tell me why I am wrong. This is going to be a large post, so, please bare with me. Also, I am going to be time-stamping all the screen shots so you can refer to them in the video.
So, in case you haven't seen the video, I will post it here.
[The video has been previously taken down by YouTube (surprise, surprise) and uploaded by a random user. If it gets removed again, please use these sites to access it: www.heliofant.com... and vimeo.com... ]
The name "I, Pet Goat" is reference to the storybook read by President George W. Bush to a classroom of children on the day of 9/11 named "My Pet Goat". He continued to sit in the classroom and read the book for a total of seven minutes after the buildings had been hit.
Here is the video of him in the class:
President Bush took a lot of flak for not leaving immediately. Another eerie aspect of the event was the fact that the teacher was having the children rapidly read words from a book. The five words in the book they were reading were "kite, hit, plane, steel, and must". At times it would sound as if the children were chanting "Plane must hit steel, plane must hit steel..." Then a plane did hit steel.
I, Pet Goat II starts off by showing us a goat trapped in a box inside a concentration camp looking area. The goat at one points gets hypnotized. There is also a barcode on his forehead with the numbers "666" written under it and a drawing of an authority looking person keeping a leash on an animal on the box:
Instead of it being "My pet goat" we are saying "I, pet goat." as if "I am a pet goat." A sheep trapped in confinement, marked by The Beast as part of the system, with a leash kept on us, and being hypnotized. Some people believe the barcode is an electronic manifestation of the Mark of the Beast but it doesn't actually have anything to do with it. Still, in this context it can just be another way of saying that the system we are branded by is "evil". (Here is a great website discussing the barcode and its relevancy to 666: www.av1611.org...)
The video then moves on to show a pair of hands holding the controls to a puppet. The Puppet Master. These hands are very reptillian looking, covered in blood, and sporting some bling that shows attribute to currency, suggesting that all this puppeteer cares about is money and is not afraid to get its hands bloody:
These hands are most likely the hands of a character named "Drako" that you will see later on in the short. As the begin to maneuver, you see who they are controlling is none other than President Bush:
He hangs there limply and then pushes away violently with his hands and begins to "dance" for our amusement. Almost to fast to see, at 00:28.5, Bush makes one of the supposed "Illuminati hand gestures" that displays the all-seeing-eye:
While the pyramid is usually considered holy, this symbols is apparently not.
After he is done dancing he sits down in the chair and begins to babble on about being fooled. I would believe that this entire event is another poke at the event shown in the video during Bush's reading of "My Pet Goat" to the classroom. It is a classroom setting, he is in a similar position in the chair, and the teacher slightly resembles the one in the video (a larger, dark-skinned woman):
As he is foolishly talking, there are a large number of symbols present on the wall behind him:
1. There is a chart of evolution that displays the final and highest evolvement of man to have a golden, radiant crown. This would suggest "enlightenment".
2. There is a clock in the noon position, this might point at a new dawn, or a new start since the clock is technically in the "start" position.
3. There is a picture of an owl, which, honestly, I am not too sure of the symbology behind it. Perhaps, someone with more knowledge on this can help me out here.
4. A drawn-in-chalk penis that is either ejaculating or urinating. This could suggest that kids are becoming ornery or sex-involved at younger and younger ages.
5. A house burning down. Really, it's just a grim image. It could also suggest that kids' minds are becoming darker.
6. A shark. Not sure of the significance but it does look scary, probably along the lines of number 5.
7. A game of hangman. The word shown is "evoL_T__N" which is obviously "evolution". Perhaps pointing back to the enlightenment at the top. The L is capitalized to show that, when read backwards, it spells "Love". Another thing to note is that the man was hung before his last leg was drawn in. This would mean that he was killed before given a fair chance, or at least, his full chance. Perhaps this suggest that we are not given a fair chance to look at our spiritual evolution in society.
8. There is a map with various pinpoints. I'm not sure of the relevance of this but it could just be a personal thing involving the creators of the animation.
9. Snowflakes lie under the map. While we are all still snowflakes, we are still all beautifully unique.
To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions.
While true in physics, it is also true of life. For every good there is a bad, for ever bad there is a good. Duality.
11. A brain that is dramatically split in half. A lot of people will argue that most people are either "left-brain thinks" or "right-brain thinkers". The truth of the matter is, the left and right brain both take duties of analytical and creative thinking and one hemisphere does not control solely one aspect. However, the message is still the same; people either see things as beautiful, or they see things analytically, not beautifully analytical.
12. A dragon. A dragon could be interpreted many ways to many people. I'll leave that one up to you.
13. A Heart. Before the song breaks in, you can hear the constant beating of a heart playing. The heart holds supreme significance in this animation. The creators even make the statement that this is about:
"A story about the fire at the heart of suffering. "
We need to use our hearts to break free, the burning fire within.
Then we see President Bush the Dunce do another "Illuminati hand gesture", followed by a ritual (i.e. the United States Presidential Election), and transform into President Obama the Charming and Intellectual. He gave people the illusion that he is better, smarter, and more charming than President Bush. Yet there he sits, in the same chair as the man before him, with the same Puppet Master controlling him. The teleprompter tells him to laugh, and so he does (lol = laugh out loud).
Next up, we see a character that Heliofant calls "Lily". She kind of has an Alice In Wonderland look and an apple that Eve would sport. Heliofant has this to say about her:
"And suddenly a startling realization arose in Lily: "This apple is not mine", she thought. "It belongs to someone else."
She looks very pristine and pure, protected by a "golden" circle. I can't decode this one too much but perhaps by her letting the apple go, she is sharing her knowledge with the Universe, rather than keep it to herself. The apple then rolls over to President Obama and splits before his feet. The Flower of Life sprouts out from the core and grows vibrantly. This makes the President sweat as he knows that the truth will set us free and that is exactly what they are trying to hide from us.
A couple things to notice are present here. Under the apple is the symbols C7 upside down, or perhaps it is the symbol for angle "/_C" maybe it means to take a different angle to life, instead of A or B, take C. Somehow though, I don't think that is right. I'm not too sure what it means. Also, under President Obama's foot, is a coin. I assume this suggests that he has dominance over currency. It is not an American coin either so it would suggest he has dominance over foreign (or the worlds) currency.
As the view pans out of the school, you see some graffiti spray painted on a wall. This says "Psalm 23". Psalm 23 reads:
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
A pretty positive message.
Panning out more and you see ripped-in-half American flag blowing in the wind, suggesting that, as a nation, America is divided. You also see two towers smoking and on fire, which of course is a reference of the Twin Tower attack, followed by a sad-faced person jumping into the ocean and killing themselves (although this person is alive later in the animation). This could mean that perhaps the event of 9/11 was something that truly divided us or just that we have always been divided.
Then we see Osama Bin Laden orchestrating an army under the red moon. As Revelation 6:12 says:
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red.
The red color of the moon can convey the judgement of God. Also, we see Mother Nature crying out as they farm the land for oil and neglect the Earth, which would gladly give us cleaner, safer, energy than the form we use now. I'm sure most will agree that the reason we are still revolving our lives around oil is because of the profit involved.
Then shines the Star of David. As the light begins to become cut-off from us, our liberty crumbles before our eyes, suggesting that we've removed allowed the spirit to no longer be a part of our lives and thusly it cost us our freedom.
Just like so many of us, this poor child never had a chance. Before he was even birthed, the malevolent Drako has his coils wrapped around it. He will come into the world already a part of the system, whether he wants it or not. As you can see, Drako is projected by means of a televisionscreen, suggesting that we are controlled by the media. If someone could just simply go over there and unplug him, or turn the screen off, he'd have no more power. Also, his hair and facial hair are constructed of a U.S. dollar bill, with the pyramid turned upside down for his chin. He wears a crown of currency, and sports gold teeth and earring, completely obsessed with monetary values.
The next scene has a Jesus looking character riding in on an Egyptian-style boat. His heart is prominently display with a burning fire roaring around it and his body shines with gold. Still though, he wears a crown of barbwire. His eyes are shut and his body is constantly in motion. This would suggest that he is keeping himself in a meditative state. The movement prevents energy from getting stagnant and the intense amount of energy in his body could also be causing his slight convulsions.
The character named "Ludovic" lays there helplessly in the cold as Drako and his direct input of media controls the boy's mind. Ludovic can't even move as his mind revolves around the market and other societal "requirements". Of course, as previously discussed, it was too late for him before he even arrived on this planet.
Quickly followed are three B-2 style Stealth Bombers flying in low overtop of a church. They drop their load and the church goes up in smoke, with omening black birds flying away. Perhaps this means that religion will meet its demise through war, or that war is caused by religion. Either way, the two are obviously connected.
On the left we see the character "Aali" who is supposed to represent Islam. Normally the image of Jesus lays in the arms of the Pietá, but this time it is an Islamic embodiment. She weeps for the child. In the background there is a mushroom cloud of a bomb pluming. Perhaps this suggests that the Islamic religion was snuffed out via war.
In the middle we see a small African child wielding an AK-47 assault rifle and staring with dimly-lit robotic eyes, red eyes. The purple piece of cloth is getting pulled undone on her body, hinting at the fact that the person next to her wishes to engage sexually. I would assume the eyes mean that African children are being programmed for nothing but war, sex, and drugs.
On the right we see the character named "Juan Pepito", wielding a hammer and sickle. Heliofant has this to say:
"After years of economic exploitation and the environmental degradation, Juan "Pepito" has a decidedly sinking feeling."
In a system that neglects the environment, his Communistic ways have finally caught up to him as he drowns in the same toxic sludge that is a result of his negligence.
Next up we have Sun-Sue (a name punning at Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"). As Heliofant says:
"Opposing courageously those who wish to enslave her."
Which is quite obvious. An anti-nuclear tattoo and a heart lie on her face. She stands in the literal footsteps of the Tank Man while waving the white flag. However, she is then turned and met by a character known as Skullduggery by Heliofant. Of course, being a skeleton hints at skullduggery, and skullduggery is committed, as she begins to feel guilty about her actions. The Skeleton doesn't need to make you not hate them, they just need to turn you against somebody else, or worse yet.. yourself. This is all too common. The fireworks represent a bombardment of external stimuli to shut down logical thinking, or as merely a distraction.
The Jesus character continues on his meditative path through a building. Although, mentally, he is travelling through different realities and dimensions. Heliofant goes on to exclaim that this is not just Jesus, but everyone of us when we stand in the "awareness of the Divine". As he travels through the building, all that reject him begin to crumble. Even the fish, with their untainted minds, whose lives depend on water, would rather expel themselves from their life support to be on the path. This could also represent the "Jesus Fish" symbol.
As Jesus moves on, the Keeper of the Flame, L'enfant Bleu (French for "Baby Blue" or "The Blue Boy"), a very Shiva looking character, continues to dance on, unaffected by the turmoil or the triumphal. Free of Duality it dances.
Next up we have "Madame Q". She is housed within a very phallic looking structure (notice the mountain beside the tower resembles a bent leg, putting the tower at an ideal position to give the illusion of male genitalia). Next to the window lies a neon-lit heart, akin to that of the red light district. Heliofant says:
"Madame Q's point of suffering is sex. Is it repression or indulgence? We don't know. Yet there is definitely shame there. "
Perhaps her over-indulgence in sexual activities is an attempt to fill a void in her heart that only love could meet. Many people often confuse sex for love or vice versa. Inside the pillar we find tally marks covering every inch of the walls. This most likely represents every time she has engaged in a sexual activity, or every day she has been in the tower. Most likely the former causes the latter.
Atop her tower also lies a cross, this could explain why she feels shame and guilt in her indulgence.
Back to Jesus. With men standing in squares that resemble military monotony, he crashes throw like a spark in a dim-lit room. His fiery passion lays waste to all those that follow the social norm. The mental walls they've built so high just to be like everyone else stand no chance against it.
After some self contemplation, Ludovic is finally able to come to a mental revelation and unhook himself from the controlling ways of Drako. Drako quickly slithers off, frighteningly looking for another being to control. With a free mind and a clear head, Ludovic moves on.
The mad Skeleton continues to play the Symphony of Corruption that he so beautifully conducts, but high above him sores Aali, the Islamic embodiment. Heliofant says that Aali is:
"The whirling heart of Islam awakened to the one true God! He is free and needs no control."
Perhaps after the death of his religion, he is free of all boundaries. Nothing to constrain him, not even the religion he thought was so helpful. Nothing to get in his way of personal freedom.
The Keeper of the Flame continues to dance on, even still. Showing all the manifestations of the natural world, and the hierarchy system that they represent in spiritual evolution.
Continuing on, we see Jesus finally leaving the church, from a ground exit that is guarded by a gargoyle. As he makes leave, his eyes finally open. He opens his mouth, gasping for the air and its life. And is finally at peace. The fire in his heart burns through his eyes brightly. As his eyes are open, the church in the background starts to crumble. As it does, the crown lying upon his head begins to vanish into thin air. Gone with the religion, gone with the mental confinement. No barriers to hold him back. This would suggest that we need spirituality, but not religion.
The final scene shows Jesus staring into the powerful and blissful radiance of the sun. An object so powerful that even the great pyramids begin to crumble before it, yet it is so beautiful. Though unmeasurable, it represents the powerful essence of the spirit. Nothing can stop it. No powers that be. No skullduggery. No war. No political agenda. No religious doctrine. It is the one thing that they can't control and it is the one thing that will end them.
The truth is the only thing that can set us free. We need not religion nor government. We need the burning desire in our hearts. The Elite only care about power (control) and money. When they die, their money will mean nothing to them. When they die, they will have no power. It makes no difference if you have it now, but they truly believe that it is the way to live. I almost feel sorry for them.
Have the desire, don't worry about social or religious limitations, and you will get what is rightfully yours. Freedom.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

I had to post this video here. Time is running out ...
This is a very well made video which includes some very famous speeches from both Kennedy and Eisenhower which helps to make it very effective for being shown to those who find it hard to accept these facts. It also includes a lot of very important information that will leave those who are uniformed asking question and perhaps wanting to know more. Anyway enough I think this is an effective video and is worth sharing, enjoy

One of the most corrupt agencies in the US may finally get taken down a peg. Known for shoddy practices, sleazy stings and making up crimes to generate low hanging fruit so they can justify their existence, the ATF is finally being taken to task… if we can get the DOJ " Department of Justice " to release the information necessary for this cover-up to be revealed. Unfortunately I fear this will be whitewashed under just like every other government scandal. Why? Because the government has become a business, a CORPRITOCRACY. When the justice department runs itself like a business with the only interest being success at all costs, they utilize the adage, "the ends justify the means". That is NOT any justice under the constitution that I follow.. or most likely you as the reader.
The levels of abuse and…. well, lets call it what it is, tyranny and treason that our government exhibits in almost every facet of its existence is so overreaching, so all encompassing that this author believes that unfortunately we may well be beyond salvage as a nation. Where will that take us? Our DOJ has shunned congressional oversight, our president supports the blockage of the release of documents that substantiate the cover-up and even the speaker of the house is afraid to take action against these treasonous imperialists.
We are rapidly moving to a fascist state. Yes… a FASCIST State, not a socialist one.
However, with the congress looking at a bill to allow the US government to disseminate propaganda and disinformation and misinformation on the citizenry, we are almost powerless to stop the juggernaut of dictatorship. Think about the loss of the Freedom of Information Act under a regime where the government is allowed to lie to us openly, (for our own good of course!). FOIA " Freedom of Information Act " is a right of the people that provides us a venue to obtain information where coverups are the rule and not the exception. Now imagine when the government can simply lie to us and say "you’re FOIA request is denied… No such information exists!". That is where the latest NDAA violation is headed. The House has already passed this one folks and now it’s on the way to the senate. The last NDAA bill gave us indefinite detention and infiltration of the military into the domestic American scene. Now we’ll be buttered up with psi-ops (spy-ops) disinformation that will prohibit us from ever knowing what is true and just more filthy lies.
We are rapidly approaching a point at which ballots will not be able to defend us from the onslaught. I fear the day that we as a people wake to find ourselves behind barbed wire literally and figuratively. Let’s not make the same mistake the Jewish people made in WWII. They let a few soldiers without ammunition force them to march into the ovens of history because they wrongly believed that something, someone, somehow it would all change. Good would overshadow evil, men would come to their senses. It didn’t happen then and it won’t happen now.
We are the last bastion of freedom in the world. If we let that slip away… There won’t be anyone left so speak out on our behalf.
