In the event you haven’t learn Selco’s paperback, paperback, The Darkish Secrets and techniques of Survival, now’s the time.
The place are we proper now, at what level in historical past?
“First they fascinate the fools, then they muzzle the clever.”
Bertrand Russell about how fascism began.
It’s an increasing number of every day about fascinating the fools and muzzling the clever.
“Fools” are fascinated with shiny and irrelevant stuff, sports activities, playing, video games, TV reveals, irrelevant political discussions, following the “influencers,” and stuff that on the whole, offers them feeling about how their life is sweet or how they’ve affect over the issues, or how they even can determine one thing. How they’re imagined to be vital, how they “matter.”
“Fools” usually are not essentially fools, simply odd people with odd issues. Being in a state of affairs the place they need to struggle for meals each day and discovering they’ve been blind, fooled by the system that they’re “vital” could cause them to alter.
“Clever” individuals may appear a bit extra clever than fools, however they perceive how stuff works, in order that they hold their mouths shut. In the event that they discuss an excessive amount of, they’re going to be shut down or muzzled.
“Conflict is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is energy.” (George Orwell, “1984”)
We’re being performed from one finish of historical past when people didn’t have too many rights and freedoms into one other finish of historical past wwhen individuals gonna be stripped and being stripped of rights and freedoms. And it’ll occur all within the identify of rights and freedoms.
You’re being shushed down within the identify of freedom of speech. Rights are being taken away from you within the identify of different individuals’s rights. Freedom is being slowly canceled within the identify of “the struggle for freedom and democracy.”
On this lovely world of freedoms and rights, you want to keep silly, love warfare, and you want to watch what you’re saying (posting), otherwise you may slowly die of unemployment.
Who’s extra sick, the system or the individuals?
To proceed in the identical spirit of the above, it isn’t solely the place the system and society are driving (or pushing you) but in addition about how fashionable methods work or how fragile they’re.
A number of weeks in the past hospital community near me (just a few different establishments, too) suffered cyber assaults, some say from Russian hackers.
In consequence, all information about medical data, surgical procedures information, donor banks information…every thing was affected. Some companies didn’t work for fairly a while, some surgical procedures had been postponed, and related.
Formally, the issues had been solved in just a few days. Unofficially, they lasted for much longer, and it was fairly chaotic as a result of all information was unavailable.
A number of days in the past, one thing related occurred, however on a a lot, a lot bigger scale. It’s nonetheless unknown how massive it’s and the way a lot it would affect on a regular basis life, and for a way many individuals. They are saying {that a} defective safety replace precipitated hundreds of Home windows methods worldwide to crash, so a bunch of issues merely don’t work, impacting airports, banks, and TV broadcasters…
It’s possible you’ll say it occurs and folks will proceed to dwell, sure and it isn’t a giant factor until you want emergency surgical procedure and no information out there about you, or you’ve gotten scheduled most cancers therapy that must be postponed…or just you’re with out meals and with out money with a financial institution card that doesn’t work.
And keep in mind this (because it seems to be on this second) remains to be a small factor, a small failure.
Are you able to think about full and worlwide failure?
The system is fragile. The system is working in a approach that you don’t want to bomb it so as to destroy it. The unhealthy man simply must“pull the plug“in the fitting place to begin chaos. Perhaps somebody pulled a “small” plug simply to check issues the opposite day with this “blue display of loss of life?” Perhaps somebody wished to close down every thing however they failed?
The large plug can be pulled eventually just because somebody will do it, and unhealthy issues will occur.
Now, about individuals…
You all watched the video of the taking pictures at Donald Trump.
Photographs had been fired, and the way many individuals took cowl (besides Mr. Trump)? How many individuals no less than lad all the way down to make themselves smaller targets?
Only a few.
There may be lively taking pictures. No person precisely is aware of what is going on, what number of shooters there are, what sort of weapons are getting used, and what extra gonna be used. Nearly all of individuals are standing up, what is going on, and recording scenes with cell telephones.
Bit bizarre proper?
It seems to be like nearly all of individuals in SHTF will die just because they may attempt to file SHTF on their telephones.
It isn’t solely in regards to the system. It’s about odd individuals too.
We change into idiots principally, with zero survival instincts, and the higher and extra fashionable life now we have, the longer and extra painful the autumn we may have when SHTF.
Now, mix these individuals with instances when the massive plug gonna be taken out…
What do you suppose will occur then?
About Selco:

Actual survival is just not romantic or idealistic. It’s brutal, onerous, and unfair. Let Selco take you into that world.
