Preparing for War: It’s Gonna Be Nutty Out There (Your Regular Reminder)

Many folks know I’ve been a prepper for a while. I was even written as part of that 2016 New Yorker profile on Preppers of Silicon Valley. Unfortunately I think my views have been proven right. The world has only gotten disordered. 

A Unipolar world of an American led West shifting fast to a multipolar one, with the Global South asserting themselves and the China-Russia-Iran-North Korea are engaging in hybrid war against us. Complex global supply chains breaking down. 

The gap between wealthy & poor is only increasing. In the meantime we are seeing a breakdown of law and order due to desperation of some people. Aided and abetted by stupid progressive left pro-crime policies as they gut police forces mainly in most blue states (thank you Alexander Soros and Dustin Moskowitz, billionaires who push damaging policies in cities they don’t live in). Driven by insane ultra leftwing ideology. Our institutions are rotted from within as DEI initiatives have driven out competence. 

We can sit and take it. Or we can do something about it. You have to prepare for the hybrid war happening against us. 

That means you have to be independent of thought. And the only way you can do so is controlling your media diet and education. 

You also have to be able to speak up when you see stupidity and evil. To do this you have to be financially independent. It’s hard to speak up when you are dependent on a job. 

You have to have multiple streams of income, cash and cold and lots of invested assets you can draw from in different geographic locations. Able to fight back against “cancel culture” or fight back against Law-fare. This is one of the scariest things I see. Lawfare is the use of the legal system to shut someone down through fake accusations like Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp or Bryan Johnson’s fiancé did to him. War is not cheap. 

You have to have a personal brand, strong relationships and a good reputation to draw from. Credibility and influence is power. You also need anti-censorship platforms to leverage like X or Rumble. The  mainstream medias like Television, Newspapers, YouTube, FB & Instagram are all risk adverse and actively censors people and messages that go against mainstream narratives.  

Going back to my prepper interests, probably also a good idea to have a small garden or even better agricultural land. And like the Mormons, at minimum, have a stockpile of canned goods, barrels of drinkable water and other useful supplies in case there are more supply chain issues. Unlike Mormons, you should also stockpile some weapons and bullets for protecting yourself and your supplies. 

Last and equally as important, you need to be in good health and physically strong. I invested in a personal trainer that is getting me very fit. I actually did trips to MMA fight camp in Thailand. I will do more of them in 2025. 

You should also get some training in martial arts and learn how to properly use a gun, whether pistol, shotgun or rifle. I’ve signed up for training in tactical shooting and CQB (Close Quarter Battle) from Sheepdog Response in 2025. 

Remember, that many of the ancient Greek and Roman learned men like Socrates or Pliny the Elder were soldiers and more than competent fighters. Sometimes You have to be able to back up your words with physical strength and skill. 

All these initiatives are confidence building and have enriched my overall life well. More importantly, it helps prepare me to ride out the ongoing craziness in the world. And better able to help those around me. Like it or not, War is here so it’s time to get FIT. 

Happy NEW YEAR!!
