There was a very good article posted online earlier this year titled “11 things you can do to help stop the great reset”. The article was posted to a website that should be getting greater following these days, StoppingSocialism.com. The article was written by Justin Haskins, editor-in-chief of StoppingSocialism.com, a New York Times bestselling author, and the director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute.
His article has been weighing heavy on my mind as it is time for our political leaders and American patriots to go even further than his list of 11 offered. In brief, his list included what most Americans can do right now:
- Live Not by Lies
- Buy Local
- Bank Local
- Support Local Farms
- Be Vocal
- Run for Local Government
- Demand That Your State Pass Laws Against ESG Scores
- Make Responsible Spending a Key Issue for Politicians
- Organize Anti-Great Reset Groups
- Buy Property and Diversify
- Make the Great Reset a Litmus Test for Politicians
A 12th one I could have added – “Boycott Advertisers Who Support Globalist Broadcast Networks and News Publications” – makes for a perfect circle back to his first one of “Live Not by Lies.”
Americans generally have blind faith, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing. If you have blind faith in God and Christ, that is a good thing. But still, they do not expect us to sit on our hands as passive sheep and do nothing in the face of adverse times. If you have blind faith in your government and the mainstream news media to give you direction in life these days, that is a very bad thing.
The world seemingly is at war, and the roots of that war which did not exist two years ago when Donald Trump was President seems to be the New World Order (NWO) Globalist Elites kicking their Great Reset plan into hyper-overdrive since the unexpected election of President Trump in 2016. Working from the premise America is at war, the following actions need to be taken immediately by any political leader, military personnel, or civilian who can make them happen:
- County Sheriffs need to organize what I would term “Patriot Protection Patrols” to protect food sources, fuel sources, power grid sources, and, if necessary, county lines. These sheriffs and County State Attorneys need to inform the public that their counties will be the opposite of a sanctuary county for any criminal looking to disrupt the American way of life relative to food, shelter, housing, and energy. Any such individuals engaging in these acts will be considered the enemy within and most probably not make it to a jury trial.

- Local citizen groups need to start to meet to plan for the dire consequences of disruption of such things as the supply chain or power grid. To be organized with a multi-level plan of action in the event the unexpected were to occur is essential.
- Local citizen groups need to come up with reliable local news channels since so many of our local, state, and national news sources are now obviously compromised and no longer trustworthy. Simply meeting weekly or monthly to discuss what you have learned and know to be true from personal experience and others’ experiences could become invaluable.
- Local citizens need to develop a communications plan in the event the Internet, and cell phone towers are taken offline to facilitate a rapid takeover of our country. No doubt local broadcast radio and television stations will be pumping a false narrative whereby you can believe the opposite of whatever they say.
- American politicians and the mainstream media need to be put on notice by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that any form of mass “red flag” gun confiscation will be deemed unacceptable and treated as an instantaneous act of war. Americans will not be boarding any boxcars to work camps without inflicting a heavy loss of life on those who want to execute such a plan.
- Local entrepreneurs need to withhold business advertising dollars from any local radio, television, newspaper, or social media platforms (Google, YouTube, and Facebook) if they demonstrate a bias against conservative American patriots and towards liberal socialist enemies within.
- Local military units of divisions such as the State Guards need to be briefed on expectations if they are given orders that contradict their mission of protecting the local citizenry or violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Any commanding officer who gives an order that is going to compromise private citizens should be investigated right up the chain of command to get to the specific source of such an order.
- Local elections need to be conducted by paper ballot with ID, with absentee ballots only used for those with doctor-verified health issues and those in our military on duty. Workplaces must give workers time off to go vote in person.
- The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been compromised and need to be informed that now would be a good time for them to start enforcing the law equally for both Democrats and Republicans or suffer the future consequences. Some politicians have already called for the defunding and gutting of the FBI. All people who work for these two agencies should be apolitical.
- “Follow the money” is the motto that took down Chicago mobster Al Capone and that criminal investigation scenario needs to now be played out with the new 87,000 IRS agents just recently hired by the Joe Biden Administration. For starters, they need to be ordered to track any political leader with a net value greater than a million dollars. The Obamas need investigation since their net worth is reported to have gone up from just 3 million in 2008 to over 70 million today, as has recently circulated social media platforms.
To that last point: Anybody with a brain knows the IRS should be going after the big fish in the sea and not the little fish with stupid 1099-K forms for online craft sales greater than $600! The Pelosi, Clinton, and Biden families should also be targeted. The Trump family had their net value go down during the four years Donald Trump held our highest office, so he should get a free pass just for being illegally stalked and harassed by the Democrats.

CONCLUSION:
Now is not the time for American patriots to commit violent acts such as going to our political leaders’ homes with hammers in hand. Now is the time to organize, plan, and get vocal. Now is the time to peacefully and legally push back and push back hard against the narrative.
And if you think I am some kind of lunatic alarmist, consider these two very newsworthy stories not being reported by our mainstream news media:
“Brazil Headed for Martial Law; Netherlands: Police Tip Tractors w/ Farmers 12/4/22” – Resistance Chicks.
You are not alone if you have not heard of these two stories.
In brief, millions of Brazilian citizens have taken to the streets for 37 straight days as they protest what they see as a recent corrupt election outcome. Like America, an unpopular globalist took their highest office over a popular nationalist. Martial law could come next week, but the citizens are vowing to stand firm and asking the military to intervene in a coup to oust their new fraudulent globalist president. Brazil’s Constitution allows for a military takeover during election integrity issues.
Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, Dutch farmers have been protesting on and off for months, using their heavy farm equipment to block roadways. The issue here is the Dutch politicians are taking cow farts to the extreme. Politicians have put unrealistic environmental regulations on methane releases for agri-businesses under the guise of protecting the world from “climate change.” Some 3,000 farms have been targeted to be closed and lost in 2023, which experts say will most assuredly lead to food shortages. The farmers were immediately hunted down and disbanded by police and riot squads. Netherlands Police were seen using heavy construction machinery to tip over tractors with protested farmers in them.
In many instances, those caught shooting cell phone videos of these two protests from opposite sides of the world are arrested and hauled off to internment camps in black vans.
When you use your critical thinking skills, the first story from Brazil represents what Americans should have done in November of 2020, and the second story from the Netherlands shows what could be coming to America soon and why Americans should never give up ANY of their guns!
And make no mistake, climate change is a charade, as I previously reported here: “How Climate Change Hoaxers Expose Themselves Given Time’ – Mark Schwendau.
By the way, this last article of mine is seemingly being banned by Google.com, which is why I use Brave.com search engine now. It comes up on the first page of Brave. See my point number 6 above!
In my humble opinion, the greatest threat we have to stop the Great Reset is to get more Senate Democrats to flip over to the Republicans. There are still Democrats who are neither socialists nor globalists. If a logical and heartfelt calm appeal can be made to their consciousness with an offer to protect them after they flip, this is our greatest weapon to turning the “Great Reset” into the “Great Upset.”

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
