Take this as a warning friends. Start pulling out $50 a week or whatever you can. Hopefully most of you have redundancies set in place in the event that things like this happen stateside.
Having cash on hand in a panic scenario might buy you those last minute supplies, or pay off a friend or neighbor to help you and your family out. Around here, we establish cows as a form of currency, beef will always be in demand.
$50 per week is a good idea if the dollar is worth what it is now Even if the folks in Lebanon can get to their bank accounts the currency has been devalued...same could happen in whatever country you live through hyperinflation. Check into Lebanon and Venezuela's currency valuations.
"Security forces are being drained daily, we have reached rock bottom... I am talking about 90% of our duties, we are no longer able to perform them to protect the people and the nation."
Lebanon's financial crisis, which erupted in 2019, has wiped out jobs, locked people out of their bank deposits and raised the risk of widespread hunger.
It has also piled strain on army and security forces as the currency crash wiped out most of the value of their salaries at a time when unrest and crime are surging.
Anti-government rallies first began gripping Lebanon in late 2019. Since then, the local currency has collapsed, after being pegged to the dollar for nearly 30 years. Salaries have remained the same as inflation skyrocketed. People lost their jobs and poverty affected nearly 50% of the population.
Agreed - hardly noticeable if just a small scale such as a few whistleblowers....we don't have to imagine on a large scale we can just look at Lebanon.
We think of money as mandatory, but if you crammed every single living human on the face of the earth into a single spot, they would cover the land mass of Rhode Island. There's plenty of unused land for everybody if you want to go out and make your own shit. Dirt cheap, too. You can get 10 acres undeveloped for a few thousand bucks. Might be a good idea to get some now WAY OUT OF THE WAY before your money becomes worthless. We need to leave the cities ASAP.
If you're considering buying land take a few things into consideration. You do not want to be within a few miles of major roadways and interstates. If the roads shut down people will start walkin/looting the closest places to major roadways. Your castle will most certainly fall if placed near major roadways.
Secondly, make sure you get the timber and mineral rights to the land. Sometimes people will sell land, and then come in one day and rip all the trees down because you didn't get the rights to the standing timber on the property. Some logs/trees are worth 4-5K EACH.
Lastly, A clean water source for animals. Land with a water source, especially a clean one, is an invaluable piece of property. Having the ability to raise animals is imperative to survival.
Thanks. All good points. I hadn't thought about the access to major roads or even the timber rights. Guess you really have to read the fine print. Don't know much about water. I would imagine a spring or creek would be a great asset, as long as you don't have a neighbor dumping toxic waste into his end of the creek. Interesting info. Thanks again.
Arizona. Oregon. New Mexico. Texas. Any state in the midwest with lower population density out of the cities. Just look at the listings in your area, google 'land for sale' and plenty of dirt patches will pop up real cheap compared to a house in the city.

More [DS] victims.
Agreed...normies don't think it can happen in their country. Being locked out of your bank account might wake folks up but probably too late by then.

Our country has already locked people out of their bank accounts. Those people are usually whistleblowers.

Where can you get 10 acres for a few thousand? I'm in.

Thanks! I'll take a look. Appreciate it.

Also Colorado is fucking great for raising livestock. Plenty of barely unused perfectly suited pastureland.
Not so much if the changes go thry
