My book will be ready before Easter Holidays


That’s the reason why I haven’t been posting that much. I want to have it ready for you guys to read it during the holiday.

It’s been a long journey, but I’m very proud of the results.

Take care

I can't wait to buy this book no matter what it costs. How often can you say that a book contains one-of-a-kind information? With this book, you actually can, and I'm certain that the information will be priceless.

To everyone reading this, let's show FerFAL our appreciation for his YEARS of providing valuable information, for FREE, on his blog and other places by buying a copy of his book.

Let's also take it a step further and tell everyone we know to buy a copy too.(friends, family, forum postings, Facebook, etc) You'll be doing them a favor and supporting FerFAL's efforts at the same time. It's a Win-Win situation. Let's make it happen!

I can't wait. Is it going to be a physical book or an e book?

FerFAL, can't find an email address for you. Is this the only way to ask you questions? I'm curious about your thoughts on Ham Radio. It is, in my mind, an essential part of any SHTF kit. To be able to talk around the world (or across town) when there's a crisis.. to have a network of people who are all on the same page. Why do I find it shocking that you aren't a ham radio operator? Communications are an essential, as Katrina showed. Katrina also showed the telephone networks, the internet and cell phones aren't always there to provide that. A radio will be.

I'm really looking forward to the book. What are the chapter headings, like, what are the topics? How long will it be, how much will it cost? Thanks-

Ferfal, You had asked us for suggestions a week or so ago. If it is not too late, I have one.

Which is that you point out some higher level truths because they support your specific experiences.

One truth is that no matter how bad a collapse occurs, there will still be a government. Probably more dictatorial and with money/power more tightly concentrated than in good times. 7000 years of recorded history shows this. The US government's plans to ensure it retains control even after a major nuclear war --the Continuity of Government Plan -- shows this.

If you have government then you will have money and Gold will still be valuable. Your house will be seized and sold at auction if you can't pay taxes. You or your relatives will be imprisoned if you can't pay your fines or debts. You or your relatives will die if you can't pay a good doctor.

No matter how bad it gets, the local power elite will have police to protect them and those police will have the power to arrest you.
Survivalist fantasies of Mad Max anarchy will never happen -- because even if anarchy does occur it will be shortlived as some strong man will seize control. With a planet of 6 Billion people, there is no way to isolate yourself.

Gold will have always have value because the local elite will want it -- to use for exchange with more distant elites, if for nothing else. During the Cold War, the US Government stored huge piles of RED-colored Dollars in an underground bunker at Culpeper, Virginia. If nuclear war ever occurred, they would declare the Green Dollars worthless and illegal and would make the Red Dollars the new currency. In part, to render any private hoards worthless so as to ensure continued Government control of the economy and the currency. To make the Red Dollars have value, the Government planned to require that Taxes be paid in the Red Dollars. This was planned even after the worse holocaust imaginable.

Look at the Main AM stations of the US Emergency Communications Network -- the chain of radio stations that would be used to control Americans after a nuclear war. Almost all of those stations are located just outside major cities -- about 10 miles away from target zones. Far enough away to survive but close to the cities. Because the primary goal of the US government was always to reoccupy the cities --even with the danger of fallout --because a civilization's WEALTH and capital lie in the cities --NOT in the rural countryside -- and the power elite knows that.

America's Founding Fathers succeeded in their revolt against the British Government in 1776 -- but the first thing they did after victory was create a new government. Because if you don't have a government you are an undisciplined mob and the some strong man or faction will conquer you.

You, Ferfal, need to realize that Americans are --to some extent -- Educated to be ignorant. We are indoctrinated to believe some things that do not hold up to scrutiny. The idea of democracy, for example. The Two US political parties received over $1 Billion in the last election, very little of that money came in as $25 checks from the little people, and Congress works for the people who donated that money, not for the common people who merely have a vote.

Yes, different countries have different cultures, governments and varying degrees of income inequity and corruption. But some truths apply to every human society that ever existed. One truth is that the strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must. Another truth is that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.
