In the remote forests of Washington State near the Canadian border, where the U.S. air force teaches its aviators to survive in hostile environments, the instructors hate the sunshine. They prefer conditions to be cold, wet and miserable. Rough weather, they say, makes the best pilots and survivors. Adversity is the best teacher. Stripped of every comfort and left to their wits, the pilots are forced to think, adapt, and make an action plan.
The same goes for surviving everyday life. If you want to beat the odds, you need to be able to adapt quickly and forge new plans. And if you want to be ready for the worst, you need to be able to imagine the unimaginable … and then do something to prepare. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. Consider the simple fact that more than 60 percent of us ignore the safety briefings on airplanes even though we’re about to hurtle down the runway in a winged aluminum can brimming with jet fuel.
For the past few years, I've explored the secrets of the world's most effective survivors and thrivers while researching and writing The Survivors Club. I met people slammed by life who managed to recover, repair and rebuild. Along the way, I spent some time at the air force's survival school in Spokane, Washington, where specialists teach men and women how to survive, escape, resist and evade (SERE) in extreme situations.
The basic lessons of survival school apply to all kinds of adversity, like vanishing jobs, foreclosed homes, disappearing 401(k)'s, not to mention hurricanes, earthquakes, and devastating medical diagnoses. You need to create an emergency action plan that can help your family overcome virtually any challenge. What follows are the most important steps:
1. Situational Awareness. The military acronym is S/A. It means knowing what's going on around you and being able to act. Are you alert to threats to your survival and what's your plan and backup if everything goes to hell? In this tough economy, many of us don't have much S/A. We see the news about factory closings or tornado warnings but we don't change our behavior. We refuse to open our 401 (k) mailings or go to the cellar because we don't want to upset or inconvenience ourselves.
S/A means facing reality no matter how unpleasant the feeling. It means recognizing that nearly half of America's households are underfinanced for retirement. The average retirement account has lost a third of its value in the last year; collectively, some $2 trillion in retirement savings have been erased. Sure, many of us may realize this, but the air force guys know there's a big difference between awareness and action. It's not enough to notice your wing is on fire. You need a plan. When it comes to a crisis or emergency, experts say that as many as 80 percent of us freeze and fail to act. We wait for an authority figure to tell us what to do. If you want to survive, you need to take action. Quickly.
2. Hug the Monster. It's pretty scary when the earthquake strikes or your bank calls to say you’re two payments behind on your mortgage. Worse is letting your fears run wild. Neuroscientists say that the fear of losing money can activate the same alarms in the brain that go off when we're attacked, unleashing neurochemicals that can wreak havoc on clear-thinking and decision-making. The Air Force calls this "analysis paralysis." What to do? Instructors tell trainees to hug the monster: grab hold of their fears, wrestle with them, and turn them into motivation. Grapple with your fears and they become more familiar to you. Soon, those fears can become your allies and help you survive and thrive.
3. Eat an Elephant One Bite at a Time. Survival is one big ornery animal, and if you try to swallow a 15,000-pound pachyderm in one gulp, two things can happen. You'll either give up or you'll get really bad indigestion. The key is to slow down. Take one small bite. Chew. Swallow. Then take another. Using different language and metaphors, nearly every survivor described the same method: Divide unwieldy challenges into achievable tasks. One goal at a time. One decision at a time. One action at a time. Before you know it, you can make real progress. The military acronym is STOP: Stop, think, observe, plan. Follow those steps in a financial crisis, and soon, you'll be moving deliberately in a better direction.
4. Know Yourself. In the end, experts say, the best survival kit is right between your ears. So use it. It also helps to know your Survivor IQ. How do you behave in a crisis? What are your strengths (and weaknesses)? Working with a team of personality testing experts, I developed the Recession Survival Quiz that gives you a glimpse of your Survivor Type and matches you with top business leaders who share your strengths. The free and fast quiz also points you to some of the best resources and guides on the Web for dealing with unemployment, credit and debt problems, and other financial challenges.

Five Reasons Why You Should Take Steps
To Get Off The Grid Before The Great And Final Crisis
As the editor and Chief Executive Officer of WorldNetDaily.com, I've been thinking a lot about the current developments in America each and every day. I ponder the collapsing financial system, the catastrophic leap in government controls on all of us, and life in a world of shortages induced by an administration bent on plunging this nation headlong into Marxism...
The best thing about these generators are that there are no fumes, it is kept in your own house and it is quite! No one would even know that you had one in your house....

THE COMPACT GENERATOR
As all of you know, there has been an unusual increase in the frequency of natural catastrophes and very bad weather world wide. We do not know when these unfortunate events in nature will occur, so we want to remind everyone that prudence requires that we be prepared for any sort of event that could leave you and your family at risk.
Reducing the amount of suffering you and your neighbors might endure is a noble act and we ask that you consider your level of readiness for an event(s) that could leave you without food or water for several days or weeks. Many of you are, and we applaud that.
We have seen an increase in 'mainstream' attention given to this and it is a subject that we feel is important. Read on for more information and links to several articles related to being prepared. Please note the specials for preparedness!
The recent earthquake in Chile will have repercussions for most of us here in the U.S. Much like the recent abnormally cold weather has increased prices on fruits such as oranges and strawberries, this earthquake will cause increases in prices on many fruit and seafood items that originate in Chile. The ports and roads are virtually impassable making it impossible to get items to market.
There are several articles listed here that are worth reading. If you have not thought about your 'preparedness level', we urge you to consider where you are and the possibilities.
We feel that you must think in terms of those items that give you the greatest possible chance of surviving and thriving. You do not want to compromise your health and immune system. Lack of nutrition is dangerous and can lead to illness. If you are in a survival situation, illness and low energy are not what you want!
Of course, there are multiple things that you need to consider when preparing. The following links will help you get to a level of preparedness you might feel comfortable with.

Emergency and Earthquake survival
If you are in an area prone to certain types of natural disasters; flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes or earthquakes PLEASE don't wait until the problem is upon you, it will be TOO LATE to order!
I can't tell you how many times someone has called to get a Berkey or EnerFood order delivered next day, only to find that UPS, USPS nor Fed Ex will not deliver into a 'disaster zone'.

United States monetary policy is controlled by the Federal Reserve System which is a banking cartel formed for the purpose of bettering the interest of the banks. It's a classic case of the fox guarding the hen house.
But what exactly does that mean to you?
Quite simply, if your portfolio consists largely of dollar-based assets, you're in trouble.
Congressman Ron Paul has introduced HR 1207 - The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009.
This bill would allow the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve, an action which is currently crippled under the law. I urge everyone to call their representative and urge them to co-sponsor HR 1207.
Capitol Switchboard: 1-877-851-6437
How any representative could say "no" and that they don't want to know what the Federal Reserve is doing is beyond me.

Credit Suisse analyst David Sneddon says the price of gold is poised to move sharply higher.
“If we look at the (rising) momentum chart ... it suggests to us that price should follow suit,” he told CNBC.
“We think gold is going all the way back up to $1,227.”
Gold denominated in euros shows a much more bullish position than denominated in dollars, Sneddon says. “Gold in euros has moved to an all time high with all the euro weakness that’s been going on,” Sneddon observes.
Recent regulatory filings show that legendary hedge fund manager boosted his gold holdings substantially during the fourth quarter of last year.
Soros Fund Management increased its shares of the SPDR Gold Trust to $6.2 million as of the end of 2009, up from 2.5 million shares at the end of the third quarter, a recent regulatory filing showed. Read John Spence's ETF Investing.
The investment in the globe's biggest physically backed gold exchange-traded fund was valued at $663 million, according to the document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Gold priced in euros reached a record today as European Union finance ministers failed to agree on measures to help Greece reduce its budget deficit, Bloomberg reports.
The precious metal climbed to a four-week high in New York, before paring gains, on speculation that wider Greek budget deficits will spur demand for the metal as an alternative to holding currency.

"If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated anywhere between 40 kilometers to 400 kilometers above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food and other infrastructure," said a report from the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress in 2001.
THE GREAT OIL HOAX
What George Bush was told behind closed doors
Discover the biggest lie of the last 30 years...
...revealed by the investment newsletter rated No. 1 over a
five-year period by the independent Hulbert Financial Digest
Dear Reader,
Those Saudi Arabians, you've gotta love 'em. First, 15 out of 19 hijackers on Sept. 11 were Saudis, but Saudi Arabia had NOTHING to do with it, or so we're told. They love us!
Now Saudi Arabia is about to drop another bombshell on us, and this one will make Sept. 11 look like small potatoes.
I never thought I'd say anything could make Sept. 11 look like small potatoes. But this does, at least when it comes to the economy.
Sept. 11 shut the markets down for a few days. When the next crisis hits, you'll wish the markets would shut down so you wouldn't have to watch the carnage.
What Bush learned behind closed doors
If some well-informed experts are right, Saudi Arabia's oil reserves are a fraction of what they've been telling us.
Why does it matter? Because everyone has believed for decades that Saudi Arabia's oil supply is virtually unlimited. That's what the Saudis have said over and over again for more than 30 years.
If an oil shortage threatens to cause a recession or a market crash, we can count on the Saudis to come through. So people think.
But in a private briefing, one of America's top oil experts told President George Bush exactly what I'm telling you. In fact, this same man was a consultant to the secretive task force that drew up Vice President Dick Cheney's energy plan in 2001.
In other words, the guy is a heavy hitter who knows the energy business.
He warned Bush that the Saudis don't have anything near the oil reserves they claim. They already pump less oil than most "experts" think, and here's the real kicker...
Saudi oil production is about to drop sharply. And it will keep going down for good.
Other experts have analyzed the numbers and come to the same conclusions. If the charges are true — and I believe they are — we could be facing...
Oil at $150 per barrel and gasoline at $6 a gallon or more
The oil is running out. It's as simple as that.
But that's not what you hear from so-called experts. If you ask government officials, our intelligence agencies and even powerful Wall Street financiers, they tell you the opposite.
They say the Saudis could quickly double their oil production from the current level if they wanted to. And given a few years, they think the Saudis could produce four times as much oil as they do now.
This is like the Iraqi WMDs all over again
The intelligence agencies and the conventional "experts" are dead wrong. The oil isn't there.

“You lie!”
Rep. Joe Wilson during President Barack Obama’s healthcare 2009 speech
It’s one year after Barack Obama’s presidential victory and the winds of winter are beginning to gale. But don’t expect him to give Jimmy Carter-like sweater-clad chats from a chilly Oval Office.
Carter—the first president to warn us about Arab oil dependency three decades ago—is irrelevant to today’s Democrats. Rather than engage the nation about our critical dependence on Middle East oil, Obama and the Democrats have either ignored our energy problems, or worse—outright lied about them.
At the August 2008 Democratic National Convention Obama declared: “I’ll invest 150 billion dollars over the next decade in renewable energy—an investment that will lead to new industries and 5 million new jobs that pay well and can’t ever be outsourced.”
Apparently Obama didn’t feel as “green” after winning the election. Just one day after he reiterated his commitment to renewable fuels in his State of the Union address in January 2009, we were told that the president’s budget cuts would force layoffs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Seek shelter immediately. If you are in the vicinity of a nuclear detonation or the accidental release of radiation, seek shelter immediately. The majority of people killed at Hiroshima did not die from the thermal blast but from radioactive particles in fall-out.
Stay underground for 48 hours. The deeper underground you can go, the safer you will be. Try to find a basement or subterranean garage with concrete roof. Radioactive energy dissipates to 1/100th of its initial strength within 48 hours so stay in your temporary shelter for a minimum of two full days, longer if possible.
Take Potassium Iodide tablets. The thyroid gland has an unusual capacity to absorb large amounts of radiation, which can be fatal; but potassium iodide tablets, such as RadBlock, saturate the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine so that it cannot absorb radiation. Take these tablets as soon as you learn of a nuclear incident.

"A RUN ON THE DOLLAR," soberly predicts one Nobel Prize winning economist... "probably the kind of disorderly run that precipitates a global financial crisis..." while other monetary experts now warn, "We're in the terminal stages of the world's most gigantic pyramid scheme." WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR YOU? Heed the unmistakable warning signs in this ALERT, or risk missing your FINAL CHANCE to protect what's left of your nest-egg, before the coming collapse of the once-mighty U.S. Dollar renders it... ...VIRTUALLY WORTHLESS! Dear Concerned American: All signs point toward the U.S. dollar – already down one-third against other world currencies since 2002 – heading at breakneck speed for a precipitous and historic crash. Anyone holding dollars or dollar-denominated assets is sitting on a ticking time bomb, and the fuse is burning short. There isn't a moment to lose before we see a worldwide rush to the exits. Your family's security rests on you reviewing this Alert through to the end. I urge you – DO NOT put this letter aside to read "later," because later may indeed be too late. Unmistakable warning signs I'll reveal here point to a monetary crisis on the verge of spinning wildly out of control, leading to massive INFLATION and quite possibly, a sudden and catastrophic dollar collapse that will change our nation forever. Even as I write, government regulators are systematically destroying, seizing, and otherwise transferring to federal control trillions of dollars in private assets. The all-but-certain impact on our currency, your purchasing power and your standard of living could be both sudden and devastating. With a newly minted administration frantically borrowing and spending in a manic effort to re-inflate the decimated stock and housing markets, the government itself is rapidly going broke. Here it is, from the fellow whose desk is supposed to have that sign, "the buck stops here" – Mr. Obama, in a recent cable news interview during which he tried to rationalize his multi-trillion dollar spending spree, conceded with a chuckle,"we are out of money now. We're operating in deep deficits..." This admission came only a few months into his term, and even before he committed upwards of $50 billion more in U.S. taxpayer funds to bailing General Motors out of the hole! | |||

Major foreign investors such as China are quickly catching on to the hard reality of impending U.S. insolvency. They are coming to the inescapable conclusion that the only way Washington can keep its Ponzi finances going is by running the monetary printing presses non-stop. (More about what this means in a moment.). As I mentioned, the dollar has already given up fully a third of its value relative to other world currencies in the last half-dozen years. The trend is long, clear, and unmistakable, with all signs pointing steeply downhill. I checked FXmarket.com's trend index on the dollar this morning. Two words – "Strongly Bearish." |
![]() While all currencies on the globe are falling against tangible assets, the U.S. dollar is falling faster. | ||
|
A massive, catastrophic dumping of the devaluing U.S. dollar looms large. The upshot is – if you don't immediately begin taking the basic precautions I'll outline for you right here, you stand a good chance of acting too late and getting caught with your britches down. Even mega-investor (and high-profile Obama cheerleader) Warren Buffett recently admitted publicly that the frantic spending and money creation underway right now will trigger a currency-destroying inflation that will be much more severe than in the 1970s. That’s why big-time investment gurus such as Jim Rogers seized on the temporary dollar rally earlier this year to hustle their assets out of harm’s way – before, as he puts it, the dollar "goes the way of pound sterling" and "declines by 90% in the coming years." Rogers then dispatched a strongly worded email offering this sobering assessment – "The world at large does seem to understand innately that govern- "Bankrupting." "Destroying." Strong words indeed. And specifically which nation's government and currency are on a fast-track to monetary doomsday? As Rogers recently told TIME magazine, "America is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world." Do I have your attention? I trust that I do, because this is but the tip of the iceberg... | |||
| The Dollar's Coming "Reckoning Day": On a Par With Pearl Harbor and 9/11 | |||
|
The dollar's coming reckoning day is going to be dramatic – correction, traumatic –marking a major milestone in our beloved nation's decline as a financial powerhouse. As I'll explain in a moment, the sheer havoc unleashed by a dollar crisis will be nationally jolting on a par with Pearl Harbor, John F. Kennedy’s assassination and 9/11. And yes, the bottom could drop out in just a single harrowing day. Here's just a glimpse of the likely fallout:
I want to give you the inside skinny on the steps prudent citizens are quietly taking right now to gird themselves against the coming greenback collapse… and even prosper. You can – in fact, you must – take key steps to protect your family's way of life. And you must do it soon. "Waiting it out" is not a plan for anything short of a catastrophe. Let me explain. Respected economist and forecaster George Whitehurst-Berry has offered this astute explanation of the financial gyrations rocking U.S. markets, as quoted in the opening of this letter: "We are in the terminal stages of the world's most gigantic pyramid scheme," he explained, referring to the ultimate collapse of the U.S.-led monetary order that will permanently impoverish millions while making a handful of smart thinking, ahead-of-the-curve investors very rich. | |||
| Even the Pentagon is Secretly Planning for Dollar-Collapse Scenarios that Dramatically Tilt the Geo-Political Balance | |||
|
The looming dollar crisis is no idle theory. This threat is so real that top Pentagon intelligence experts are running live "planning scenarios" in which resource-rich nations like Russia and China exploit U.S. indebtedness to wreak sudden havoc in our financial system and basic economy. In the 2009 Unrestricted Warfare Symposium at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, intelligence analyst James Richards unveiled a blueprint detailing exactly how U.S. enemies could drop the value of the dollar by a shocking 75%, crippling our economy overnight. This report's conclusions are nothing short of chilling. So vulnerable is the U.S. to this scenario, Richards urges U.S. intel agencies to pay close attention to global gold supplies and the financial maneuverings of rival powers (something I do myself for my valued subscribers).

Sid Roth Interviews John Paul Jackson On "The Perfect Storm"
This will take place in just weeks from now!!! DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!!
WAKE UP!!!!
Obama will give it away to one world Government in Dec.
On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted climate change skeptic, gave a presentation at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. In this 4 minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty, scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.
A draft of the petition can be read here:
http://www.globalclimatescam.com/documents/un-fccc-copenhagen-2009.pdf
Page 18: Section 38 of the "Share vision for long-term cooperation action plan" contains the text for forming the new government.
Page 40: Section 46 Subsection H of the "Objectives, scope, and guiding principles" contains the text for enforcement and establishment of the rule of law.
There has been considerable debate about Monckton's conclusion that the Copenhagen Treaty would cede US sovereignty to a world government. His comment appears to be based upon his interpretation of the The Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution (Article VI, paragraph 2). This clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. TREATIES as the supreme law of the land. Concerns have been raised in the past that a particularly ambitious treaty may supersede the US Constitution. In the 1950s, a constitutional amendment, known as the Bricker Amendment, was proposed in response to such fears, but it failed to pass.
Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused. Monckton sued to stop Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies. The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected. Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educating the public about the myth of global warming.
