MJ’S PREPARATION GUIDE

 

Copied this from one of my Telegram Channels to share with others.


MJ’S PREPARATION GUIDE

 

I will state what I believe is going to happen, based on MY research. I suggest you do your own research & do what’s best for you & your family. This guide will be based on worse case scenarios.

 

WHAT I EXPECT:

 

- #34 We will lose all communications. No Internet & no television due to public arrests

- #34 The Emergency Broadcast System will be activated

- #34 The military will bypass the MSM & provide WE THE POEPLE with one voice, our Military

- Martial law will be enacted.

    a. What is Martial Law?

- I believe emergency services will still available, but plan as if they won’t. 

- No Highway travel, possibly limited local travel.

- Communications will be down for 2-4 weeks, but prepare for longer

 

 

🚨 FOOD

- Canned or Dried, non-perishable foods are best. Consider foods with lots of calories. *BABY FOOD *PET FOOD. 

 

 Canned Beans, Fruits, Meats & Fish, Soups, or Vegetables.

 Hot and Cold Cereals

 Rice

 Powdered Milk

 Granola & cereal Bars

 

—— FOOD RATIONING GUIDE

When things happen, categorize everything you have into groups–like perishables, canned goods, grains, and frozen food. This will help determine what you need to eat first (perishables) and what you can leave for later (canned and packaged goods).

 

 

🚨 2ND AMENDMENT & PROTECTION

 

- Don’t own a firearm? Here are just a few ideas. Please check your state laws before purchasing.

 

1. PEPPER SPRAY or wasp spray

2. STUN GUN

3. Baseball Bat(s) or anything that you can swing.

4. MACHETES  or Knives

 

NRA Resource. If you do own a firearm, brush up on your states Gun Laws; most importantly, relating to self defense & “stand your ground”.

 

 

🚨 COMMUNICATIONS

 

First, whomever you want to stay in contact with, make sure you talk to them to have an emergency plan in place. 

- LANDLINE TELEPHONES

HAM RADIOS

CB RADIOS

SATELLITE PHONES

—— HERE IS A GUIDE to Understand the difference between LL, SAT, HAM, CB that I highly recommend you read before purchasing anything.

LONG RANGE WALKIE TALKIES

SOLAR CRANK RADIO which also have a radio, flashlight, ports to plug items in etc..

LIMITED ACCESS TO SOME WEBSITES. This is a little bit more of a technical guide for a possible workaround (computers only, not mobile devices) to possibly give you access to some websites

- TG SIGNAL May Possibly Work

 

 

🚨 ELECTRICITY/ENERGY/POWER

 

Should electricity go out, consider ways you can charge or power your ESSENTIAL items. 

 

DUAL FUEL GENERATORS

    a. Duel = Gas & Propane. Gas may be unavailable. Propane, you can store for a long time

    b. Deep Freezer? You will only need to run the Genset 10-15 minutes in the morning & evening to conserve gas. This should be enough time to keep items frozen. Consider adding a few gallons of water to your freezer

PORTABLE POWER STATIONS can be charged via solar, car outlets, and wall outlets (make sure you get the correct accessories)

- Charcoal or propane grill? Consider buying extra charcoal or a few tanks of propane gas

FIRE STARTER to start a fire

 

 

🚨 WATER

 

Should you lose access to water, consider ways you can store or gain safe drinking water. 

 

- If events begin, fill your bathtub, washing machine, buckets etc..

LIFE STRAW Good for 1,000 gallons

- Cases of water

 

 

 ðŸš¨ MISC SUPPLIES/INFO

 

- Bible

- Medications

- Batteries

- Toiletry & Plastic Utensil items

- Compass & Maps

- First aide kit(s) & medical supplies

- Anything Solar

- Lighters & matches

- Candles 

- Personal Care items (soap, toothpaste, etc)

Bug Out Bag Guide

- Identify & talk to leaders in your community. Make a plan.

- Talk to you local Sherrifs office. 

- Understand your areas demographics.  The suburbs of PA will be vastly different than NYC. A possible indicator of where trouble may occur is where ANTIFA & BLM rioted last year.

 

 

FINAL THOUGHTS:

 

The safety of everyone of this country will be exhausted by our great military. Humanity will be tested. I believe there are more good people than bad in this world. I believe this will be a time we as Americans unite. God will provide. Continue to pray & have Unshakeable Faith in God.

Protect the Ocean



By Terry Orr
According to Wikipedia - World Oceans Day is an opportunity every year to honor the world's oceans, celebrate the products the ocean provides such as seafood as well as marine life itself for aquariums, pets, and also a time to appreciate its own intrinsic value. The ocean also provides sea-lanes for international trade. Global pollution and over-consumption of fish have resulted in drastically dwindling population of the majority of species.

The Ocean Project, working in partnership with the World Ocean Network, has been promoting WOD since 2003 with its network of over 1,600 organizations and others throughout the world. These groups have been working to build greater awareness of the crucial role of the ocean in our lives and the important ways people can help. World Oceans Day provides an opportunity to get directly involved in protecting our future, through a new mindset and personal and community action and involvement – beach cleanups, educational programs, art contests, film festivals, sustainable seafood events, and other planned activities help to raise consciousness of how our lives depend on the oceans.

The World Oceans Day 2013 & 2014 theme is:
Together we have the power to protect the ocean
Just remember – without it – there is no life.

World Water Day



By Terry Orr

Most of us in America have never had to worry about drinkable water or dealt with water rationing.  When we travel, often we are told - “Don’t drink the water” as it is really not safe for our consumption. Yet there a literally hundreds of millions of people who are faced with this problem  every day of their lives. 


The United Nations Educational Scientific and Culture Organization (USESCO) has an excellent brochure available for viewing and downloading (see link below). I highly recommend reading this brochure and pass it along to others.


Why Is World Water Day Important?
  • 780 million people—almost entirely the poorest and most marginalized in the world—live without access to safe drinking water. 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation (a pit latrine or better); that’s 40% of the world’s population.
  • Lack of access to WASH contributes to two of the three leading killers of children under five years old in the world. These diseases are pneumonia, which could be prevented by good handwashing and better hygiene; and diarrhea, which comes from drinking unsafe water and lack of sanitation around the world. With good quality water, sanitation and hygiene, many children’s lives could be saved.
  • Up to 40 billion working hours are lost every year to water collection, mostly by women and girls who must walk long distances, sometimes in dangerous circumstances, to collect water. This, combined with water-borne diseases keeping people from school and work, costs countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia 5-6% of their Gross Domestic Products each year. This is a significant blow to economic growth and global financial stability.

Water cooperation

The fulfilment of basic human needs, our environment, socio-economic development and poverty reduction are all heavily dependent on water. 
Good management of water is especially challenging due to some of its unique characteristics: it is unevenly distributed in time and space, the hydrological cycle is highly complex and perturbations have multiple effects. Rapid urbanization, pollution and climate change threaten the resource while demands for water are increasing in order to satisfy the needs of a growing world population, now at over seven billion people, for food production, energy, industrial and domestic uses. Water is a shared resource and its management needs to take into account a wide variety of conflicting interests. This provides opportunities for cooperation among users. 
Promoting water cooperation implies an interdisciplinary approach bringing in cultural, educational and scientific factors, as well as religious, ethical, social, political, legal, institutional and economic dimensions. (Source: UNWATER.ORG)

Rain Day Festival


Rain, Rain,
Go away;
Come again,
April day;
Little Johnny wants to play

(Google Image) 
By Diane Forrest

I remember saying this little rhyme alot while I was growing up.  Kids don't like the rain, especially during the summer.  It keeps them from being able to play outside or do other fun activities.  I have a friend who is in Florida now on her vacation at Disney World.  If any of you have ever been to Disney world, you know that it will rain every day.  It usually doesn't last long, but it always happens at the worst time. I’m sure they make a fortune selling those little plastic rain ponchos.

(Google Image) 
Most of the country is asking for rain, half of the country is in a drought now.  Last summer, my cousin was married in Texas.  Actually, today is her anniversary.  She was married outside, on a farm, on probably the hottest day of the year, in the middle of a drought. The farm, her husband's family farm, was about an hour from town, so they rented a bus for the guests.  Unfortunately the air conditioner went out, so they all melted.  They didn't want the rain to go away, they were wishing for rain to come.

(Google Image) 
In Waynesburg, Pa, they celebrate a rain day festival today.  It started out innocently enough.  Rain Day got its beginning in the Daly & Spraggs Drug Store, located in the center of Waynesburg. Legend has it that one day a farmer was in the drugstore and mentioned to Byron Daly that it would rain the next day, July 29. Mr. Daly asked him how he knew and he replied that it was his birthday and that it always rained on his birthday. He had a journal for several years in which he recorded the weather and always had noted rain on July 29th. Mr. Daly thought this was too sure a thing to let pass, so he started betting salesmen who came into his drugstore that it would rain in Waynesburg on July 29. The bet was usually a new hat, which of course he would win.  This tradition began in 1874, and as of 2011, it has rained 113 years out of 137 years of score keeping.

(Google Image) 
In later years, Byron Daly's son, John, continued the tradition of wagering a hat on Rain Day. John was an attorney in Waynesburg, a very gentlemanly individual, who always tipped his hat to the ladies he passed on the street, and spoke with a kind soft voice. Although he had fun with Rain Day, he also took it very seriously. He liked the idea of keeping it as a local phenomenon.
(Google Image) 

These days, the town celebrates with an annual festival.  It begins with a pancake breakfast and spends the day with live entertainment, contests and activities for children.  They still continue the tradition of hat betting; only now the duties have been handed over to a commission.  There have been many celebrities who have won hats, some including:
  • Bing Crosby
  • Bob Hope
  • The Three Stooges
  • Arnold Palmer
  • Jay Leno
  • Will Ferrell

In 1983, Willard Scott the weatherman on NBC's Today Show was the bettor who gave Rain Day the most notoriety. Willard, being a weatherman, the phenomenon of Rain Day was of special interest to him. Mr. Scott not only mentioned Waynesburg on Rain Day, but talked about it the day before and the day after. Although it didn't rain for Willard's year, he sent a beautiful Stetson cowboy hat.

(Google Image) 
This year, as the country looks at Waynesburg, PA to see how the annual tradition plays out, the rest of the country can do a rain dance to see if perhaps they too can get a refreshing rain shower today.

June is National Rivers Month



(Google Image)
By Terry Orr

A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water. Small rivers may also be called by several other names, including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, tributary and rill. There are no official definitions for generic terms, such as river, as applied to geographic features, though in some countries or communities a stream may be defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; one example is "burn" in Scotland and northeast England. Sometimes a river is said to be larger than a creek, but this is not always the case, because of vagueness in the language. (Wikipedia)

Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water within a river is generally collected from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g., from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers. (Wikipedia)

The Mighty Mo (Missouri River)

Missouri, Kansas, St. Johns, Potomac, and Elizabeth rivers, the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are major water areas I have spent my life near or on.  They are all connected and serve vital resources for life.

World Water Day


(Google Image) 
By Akindman

International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
(Google Image)  
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.


(Google Image)  
The UN and its member nations devote this day to implementing UN recommendations and promoting concrete activities within their countries regarding the world's water resources. Each year, one of various UN agencies involved in water issues takes the lead in promoting and coordinating international activities for World Water Day.  Please look at the Wikipedia link for more background information on the UN efforts.

Trivia:
Lake Baikal is located in the south of the Russian region of Siberia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast; it is the most voluminous freshwater lake in the world, containing roughly 20% of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water.
