Be prepared to be Native American
Hurricane season is upon us. It is supposed to be a bad one. Much of the Eastern United States is susceptible to occasional tornadoes in the fall. Also, there is ever-present danger of flash floods. I will never forget September of 2009 when our section of the Georgia Mountains received 24 inches of rain in 5 days, which promptly flowed down hill and drowned Atlanta. If you live in a hurricane, tornado or flood zone being prepared for survive without electricity or running water is a must. There is another danger this year. Domestic terrorist groups at the behest of their financial backers (often Boss Hogg types or drug dealers) plan to knock out power grids and attack middle class citizens in the near future. The purpose is to sway the elections and make people more amenable to totalitarian control. I have been watching propane gas generators being sold like hotcakes in this region, even though many people can't really afford them. The attack on the power grid scheme is really a carbon copy of what Mussolini did to destabilize Italy in the early 1920s. The wealthy Italian industrialists who financed that terrorism only realized too late that they had opened Pandora’s Box. Of course, if the electric power had gone off 200 years ago, it would have been no big deal. Our ancestors lived in a world where the only electricity was lightning. However, today our lives are dependent on air conditioning, refrigeration, electric lights, telephones, IPods, computers . . . you name it. Turn off the power tomorrow night before going to bed. See if you can even find your bed! See how well you sleep in the sultry heat, then wake up in the morning, not knowing the time and being unable to check your email. If you are an environmentalist, college professor, well educated, a political leader perceived as a "librul", gay, an African living east of the Mississippi or a Native American/Mexican living west of the Mississippi, your problems are likely to be more serious than not being able to watch your favorite college football team on TV. All 23 political murders in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Pickens County, GA during the past decade were physically attractive, college educated men and women, between 18 and 32. We will get to that later. Must haves for survival
If you have never been around firearms, don't buy one and put it in the closet. There are plenty of organizations and businesses who can teach you how to shoot and train you in approprate gun safety measures. Be sure to keep a rifle cleaning kit with you. In the wild, damp weather will cause most rifles to rust overnight. Within a couple of days without oiling, the gun barrel will begin to corrode. Conventional bows and cross bows are excellent for fishing. My 180 pound crossbow will snare either an alligator or a shark. However, I have only used it for catching large catfish and flounder near the ocean. The fishing arrows are barbed and connected to a lightweight line so you can pull the fish back to shore. Oh ... and your drums Native Americans! Don't leave home without them. Basic principles of counter insurgency warfare Some folks have been offended by my hostility to the rightwing extremists, but this comes from first hand knowledge of what they are all about. Don't be fooled by the waving of miniature flags and repeated chanting of trite phrases. My sister will verify that I told her a month in advance not to fly to Atlanta on September 11, 2001 because there would be major terrorism involving passenger jets. From a covert operation ten years earlier, I knew that there was going to be terrorism (either faked or allowed) that month in order to usher in a authoritarian society. As a Native American I am far more concerned about the fate of America's democratic. free enterprise traditions, than whether some stranger likes me or not. The purpose behind this intentional destruction of our economy is to break the traditional entrepreneurial spirit of the American Middle Class so that it will meekly accept a feudal economy and an authoritarian political system. They don’t want middle class people taking financial risks, starting businesses, innovating professionally, developing real estate projects, and perhaps becoming wealthy themselves. Every commercial real estate developer I had as a client in my architecture career is now out of business. The banks would not give them construction financing. That is no accident. We are to wake up one day when the majority of Americans will be impoverished serfs in a society that is culturally frozen. It is almost that way now. I have also noticed that the foot soldiers of the Nazi groups seem to be wanting to settle scores from high school. They were the C and D students while the "in" crowd starred in sports, had lots of dates and went off to college. The drawn-out Mega-recession has made the economic predicament of the blue collar young men even worse. In one case three years ago, two Georgia cops beat up a guy driving to a summer job in between college semisters . . . because a former girlfriend later dated the victim in high school. The random politically motivated attacks seem to mostly aimed at affluent, attractive young adults, who are in college or recently graduated from college, and total strangers. "Those of you in the primary target groups, environmentalists, college professors and 'alternative lifestylers' are assumed by your future attackers to pacifists, who will make easy victims. They will be attacking at night. They have been training teen age boys for over twenty years how to move through the woods at night with night vision goggles. They communicate with animal sounds, mostly owl sounds. Several times I set up ambushes by imitating their owl sound and drawing them in. God said, "Thou shall not kill." He didn’t say, "Thou shall not make white trash ninja nerds wet in their pants." You people in the targeted groups will have to learn how to defend yourself, especially if you live in the Deep South. In many southern communities, the majority of Caucasian cops are members of the Brotherhood of Patriots. They or their sons or their sons’ buddies, will be your attackers. In Georgia, white deputies are generally the ones training the terrorists at night. There are two things going in your favor. Both the leaders of the rightwing movement and their cannon fodder are motivated by fear. While true giants such as Bill Gates understand that the middle class must have discretionary income in order to buy computer software, the far right extremists only fear losing their wealth. The blue collar foot soldiers fear that they are not masculine and fear people with skin pigment. They only fight on the attack. I found over and over again that they were paralyzed with fear, when they realized that they were hunted, not the hunters. At that point, their favorite word was, "Jaysus!" Secondly, even when I was a midshipman at Georgia Tech, we knew that white racists tend to be afraid of weapons shaped like phallic symbols. They grow up with guns, but associate more primitive weapons with American Indians and Blacks. A Muskogee Creek firing his home-made bow, would probably send a squad of "Patriots" into a panicked retreat. I ran scientific tests on this while dealing with neo-Nazi’s in the North Carolina Mountains. Your 10 year old daughter holding a sharp 10 feet long spear would probably stop most teenage neo-Nazi’s in their tracks. Whether it is criminals or terrorists attacking your family, just remember that a locked door is the best protection in the city, while a big tree is the best protection in the woods. All of us Injuns know to fire from behind trees. Don’t try to be heroic in front of your family and expose your body. These thugs are programmed to think of you as a deer. They have the mentality of a pack of coyotes. Do your best to keep your family and yourself protected by solid objects. A dead parent is no good to his/her family or his/her community. When eight pickup loads of thugs showed up at my campsite on Wolf Creek in Union County, GA at 12:30 at night, I grabbed my rifles, then the dogs and I ran like hell to a rhododendron thicket surrounded by big trees, where we quietly hid until they left. Creeks like to survive to fight another day. Run Forrest! Run! Y’all be smart, hear?
