Welcome
From whence do these thoughts come? The Impending U.S. Civil War Narrative.
Sadly for many of us The Illusion Is Over.
There are very real risks on the horizon for which we need to be prepared to navigate.
This project is an evolving collection of free tools, strategies, and case studies designed to help individuals and communities better prepare for potential economic, governmental, and societal disruptions.
Our goal is to empower people with actionable, practical knowledge—not fear—rooted in historical lessons, privacy-conscious technology, and adaptive local resilience. Everyone is welcome to explore, contribute, and help build a more informed, prepared public.
We prioritize sources outside of U.S. government websites due to reliability concerns and instead emphasize vetted, independent, and international information. All resources are evaluated for credibility and sustainability.
As Abbie Hoffman said a while ago: “Steal This Book“.

Knowledge and information should be open—please spread them far and wide.A few things to keep in mind:
- All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However…
- It will almost certainly work until it breaks,
though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.- If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
- As for what you don’t like, it’s yours to do with as you will.
- If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
- My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
