The Millionaire Survivalist in You!

The Millionaire Survivalist in You!

When it comes to us vs. them, the writing on the wall can be hard for many to read. Why? Clearly, it’s because the rich live in fear, while the masses of dissatisfied workers with no opportunities for advancement are used to braving the challenges of life. Or so the many screens we watch each day would have us believe. The reality is most people are too consumed by the result of their own powerlessness to contemplate the direness of their situations.

Today on Rob Raskins’ Millionaire Survivalist, let’s explore what holds most of us back while some of us do what’s necessary to take the prize. After all, we’re all human, we’re wired the same basic way, and we mostly have the same basic wants, needs, and fears. So, why the massive differences?

POV

A rich guy with a small penis goes to a nightclub to pick up a girl. He struts and muscles his way up to the bar, right past all the taller, better-looking males, and talks to the hottest girl in the joint. He invites her back to his place. She looks down into his eyes like he’s crazy but becomes distracted by his expensive jewelry and the cash he flashes while paying for drinks. Cha-ching!

Outside, he opens the door of his expensive sports car for her. She thinks, “Boy, did I hit the motherlode or what?” They drive off. The End. Just kidding. What the hell kind of ending would that be? So, they arrive at his posh building, take the elevator to the penthouse, and he guides her through his “love lair.” She has a single mission in mind: “Bag the rich guy!”

She strips, and his jaw drops. He strips, and her jaw drops, but for a very different reason. She stares at his member (or lack thereof). Confused by his extreme cockiness (pun intended), she laughs hysterically and says, “Who do you think you’re gonna please with that little thing?” He smiles and says, “Me.”

What does this mean?

Tony Robbins famously said, “It’s not your conditions that shape your life, but rather your decisions.” When it comes to success, everyone has something they can point to while ignoring what they fear. Why? Society teaches us that if we don’t “measure up” to the arbitrary standards set forth by movies and TV, we should simply move along and accept whatever life gives us. It sounds crazy, but most people do this. Why?

The answer: most people aren’t willing to appear in a way that may seem unacceptable or ridiculous, and that this may be interpreted as crazy or pathetic, rather than bold and superior. So, then, why do poor people hate rich people? It’s not jealousy over money. It’s resentment that they enjoy a freedom and a power that seems impossible to them.

So, if you wanna be a millionaire survivalist, step one: get rid of your fear, doubt, and shame. Whatever you avoid, run toward it. Whatever feels good, run from it. Dare to step out of your comfort zone long enough to show your tiny package, watch the girl laugh at it, and then smile as it has zero effect on you. Obnoxious? Sure. Ridiculous? Of course! Psychologically liberating? Try it and see for yourself 😊

Drone Technology for Private Use

Today on Rob Raskins’ Millionaire Survivalist, we’ll consider the benefits of private investment in drone technology for maintaining control of the surface from inside the comfort and safety of your own home or state-of-the-art survival bunker.

Drone Technology for Private Use

While the Department of Defense continues to push the envelope on this budding future tech, it continues to open doors for the rest of us. While private security firms use drones for remote surveillance, or companies like Amazon use drones for remote package delivery in rural areas, the DOD can use the data for mapping surfaces and targeting enemies for a remote airstrike from satellites. Here’s a list of benefits to using drones:

Drone Uses:

In addition to security, drones are used to great effect in industries such as agriculture, construction, energy, inspection, insurance, mining, and of course, private and public safety. The reason for this is drones are highly customizable. This means they can be modified and outfitted with additional hardware and software that gathers vital information, especially in hard-to-reach areas, either due to location, proximity to danger, or to determine the feasibility of cost-to-benefit.

For example, in agriculture, they can gather information and updates about crop health, livestock, and irrigation efforts more quickly and frequently than conventional aviation. This also goes for energy, such as petroleum pipeline surveillance, of which I have a professional background. The challenges presented include the time and cost of planning a “manned” flight, which is subject to weather delays, landing to refuel, and the limitations of visual inspection, all while dodging other planes, birds, and even drones.

From a survivalist standpoint, we need to think like the DoD by employing best practices that address the long-term challenges to survival and success. Without armies of soldiers at our dispense, we’re often alone in our endeavors to practice superior judgment for ourselves and those for whom we’re responsible. When the SHTF and we’re in lockdown mode, do you really want to risk flight exposure, fuel tanks, and the possible loss of air traffic control?

Of course not. You want to sit in your home office or subterranean command center and use a computer-operated drone to fly to altitudes and distances that detect and transmit 3D aerial data. You’ll know if the coast is clear or if a civil disturbance has created a lockdown of a city or busy traffic corridor. In recent history, think of the loss of police patrolling of Portland, OR, or the LA riots of 1992.

As an added bonus, if you’re able to get your hands on the drone-mounted firepower used by the DoD, you’d not only gather valuable intel, but you’d also be able to neutralize a moving target without the risk of exposure, just as God intended. So, when considering your survival plan for an EOTWAWKI scenario, you’ll be glad you took the time to include drone tech in your arsenal. You’re welcome.

Virtual Reality Can Help You Survive TEOTWAWKI

The Latest VR Technology Is a Must-Have for Serious Preppers

Who doesn’t like to buy the latest electronic gadgets? If you have the means, there is a never-ending stream of new technology available to you. One of the most exciting innovations to come out of our modern technical era is virtual reality.

Today virtual reality is being used for everything from training surgeons to the treatment of PTSD. In an episode of the show Billions, virtual reality is used to sell real estate when a group of characters use VR goggles to experience the premium amenities in a luxury doomsday facility.

Here are some other ways VR technology is being used to transform the world:

  • Training people to manage their pain
  • Helping people on the autism spectrum with social cognition
  • Teaching people how to manage and treat their anxiety
  • The development of new automobiles
  • Transporting museum visitors to another time or place
  • Crime scene evaluations for the courtroom
  • Job recruitment and training
  • Shopping
  • Training airline pilots

 

Today there are wireless devices available that you can run via your phone with a Wi-Fi connection, leading to an even more authentic experience. The computer-generated simulations that are available today are nothing short of incredible, and it is speculated that the technology is only at the midpoint of its development. What we can expect to see from this sector in the future should be nothing short of spectacular.

 

One way virtual reality technology is ushering the future in is through the development of haptic suits, which are also known as tactile or gaming suits. These are wearable devices that use vibrations and other sensations to make the wearer experience being able to feel and touch in the virtual world. Haptic suits are a literal game-changer, and once you’ve tried it you’ll be signing up to buy the newest technology.

 

Here are a four ways virtual reality can help you train to survive the apocalypse.

Virtual Bear Attack

When you find yourself face to face with a bear, the split-second decisions you make will mean life or death—for both you and the bear. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have unlimited trial runs of this situation before you retreat to a bug-out location in an area that has bears? Thanks to virtual reality, you can.

VR Training Solutions offers a VR Bear Safety Training Program that allows you to experience not only being attacked by a bear, but being attacked by the specific kind of bear that frequents your region. You can also choose other animals like cougars and coyotes. If you’re bugging-out in Alaska, you can even choose a simulated polar bear attack.

This virtual reality simulator will allow you to practice your survival skills ahead of time, with a vicious predator that can’t kill you. This will help you develop muscle memory through repeated use that can help you to act quickly and instinctively if and when the time comes and you are facing-off with a bear in the wild.

Physical and Emotional First Aid

Virtual reality programs like Bravemind and Strive are helping soldiers prepare for combat both physically and emotionally through VR-based exposure therapy. Soldiers are able to recreate scenes that include combat, first aid, the death of other soldiers, and working in a medical tent that is filled with injured soldiers. These are all scenes that could potentially be in your future after a disaster situation.

These programs don’t work by erasing traumatic memories, but rather by helping soldiers to respond differently to challenging situations on an emotional level. By allowing soldiers to experience realistic war experiences, they are learning how to develop emergency response and crisis skills that can help them cope emotionally when these situations happen in real-life.

Active Shooter

Enhanced Dynamic Geo-Social Environment, or EDGE, is a virtual reality program the U.S. Department of Homeland Security developed specifically to train teachers to manage school shooters, but it is also useful to preppers. In the wake of the collapse of society, shooters could become commonplace for a variety of reasons, so it’s best to be prepared.

 

EDGE allows you to develop the critical skills you’ll need to keep it together emotionally, to save yourself, to save others, and to fight back. You can also experience a shooter situation from the perspective of a responding officer. Interestingly, the game also allows you to experience the shooter’s perspective. By seeing the situation from the shooter’s perspective, you can see what they see and know what to do to protect yourself.

 

The engineers who designed this VR experience took details from real shootings to make sure it was as authentic as possible. As the people who have already been present at shootings know, when it comes to shooting events, you only get one chance to get it right. Who wouldn’t want to practice the skills you’ll need to survive in a safe virtual reality environment?

 

The Haptic suit allows you to touch and feel virtual reality.

Surviving Doomsday in a Condo

In Kansas’s Survival Condo Project, you can ride out the apocalypse underground.

There are many reasons the ultra-wealthy may choose to live in a condo rather than a stand-alone home, from wanting to be in the middle of a heavily populated urban area to enjoying the country club-style amenities. However, after TEOTWAWKI, the rich may choose condo living for a different reason, and that is strength in numbers.

So far Larry Hall’s Kansas’s Luxury Survival Condo Project has been a tremendous success. These 12 premium condominiums were built deep underground in a former missle silo. Despite the steep $3M price tag, all of the full-floor 1,820-square-foot units have sold out. The 900-square-foot half-floor units, which run $1.5M, have also sold out. Hall is currently building a second, as any developer who is onto a good thing would.

Why are so many individuals of financial means choosing to invest in survivalism in Kansas? The Sunflower State is certainly a lot closer than New Zealand, making it more likely that you’ll survive the trip to shelter before time runs out. Many of the investors in these condos have children—at this time 19 in total. They may simply not be willing to risk trying to travel farther when their families’ lives are at stake. In a state that is known for its flat geography, it’s also comforting to be able to see everything for miles around, even though others can’t see you.

Take a Look Inside the Silo

Once you realize how many features these underground condos have, the price tag seems a lot more reasonable.

 

  • Nuclear, biological, and chemical air filtration
  • A volcanic ash scrubber
  • Chemical air filtration
  • Five separate sources of power, including generators and wind turbines
  • Design that is meant to survive a nuclear blast
  • Three armories with tactical gear and heavy artillery
  • A remote-controlled sniper post
  • Armored vehicles
  • Armed guards
  • 10-foot-thick walls
  • A school
  • A digital weather station
  • Elevator and stairwell access
  • Outdoor guards
  • Hydroponic gardens
  • Stocked aquaponics rooms
  • A reverse osmosis water filtration system
  • Tanks that hold 75,000 gallons of water
  • A jail cell
  • Dental and medical facilities
  • Storage and walk-in freezers with five years of food and supplies
  • A 50,000-gallon swimming pool and spa
  • Workout facilities
  • A bar
  • A general store
  • A movie theater
  • A library
  • A climbing wall
  • Air hockey and other games
  • A pet park

 

Yes, you read that right. Even the dogs and cats of the owners of these high-end units will survive when the SHTF. At least two of them will, as there is a two pet, 75-pounds or less limit on pet ownership.

The owners of the units don’t have to wait for the apocalypse to enjoy the amenities. At $5,000 per month for a full-floor unit, it’s not surprising to learn that many owners are already using their condos as vacation getaways. From the minute you enter the front door uning biometric keyless access, you can tell these are no ordinary condominiums. Each unit has modern amenities that include Kohler fixtures, full-spectrum LED lighting, gorgeous hardwood floors, walk-in closets, built-in desks, children’s bunk beds, full kitchens, television, and a large fireplace. Owners are also able to view live video feed of the world outside.

This facility is designed to function like a mini-society. In the event the worst should happen, the owners of these units will no longer be responsible for making payments. Instead of mere owners, they will become a part of an ecosystem that is designed to keep things as normal as possible. There is a board of directors, and the owners who own a full-floor have twice the say of those who own half-floor units. Adult residents will take turns performing necessary duties like food prep and teaching the children.

According to Larry Hall, the owners of these condos are not typical survivalists. They are simply families who came together to give themselves the very best shot at survival in incredibly unstable times. Many people have concerns about the government’s ability to protect us in even the best of situations. If the grid collapsed, the economy collapsed, there is social unrest, there are terrorist attacks or an invasion, or there is an outbreak of deadly disease, these families are ready, willing, and able to go underground and wait it out.

A Dozen Survival Skills Your Kids Need to Know

A Dozen Survival Skills Your Kids Need to Know

No matter how young your children are, it’s not too soon to make sure they’re prepared.

This post is part two in a two-part series. You can read part one here.

Protecting your children from danger is a survival instinct in itself, but your protection alone may not be enough if the worst should happen. It’s difficult to think about, but if a natural or unnatural disaster strikes and society collapses, you may not be in a position to save them. In fact, they may need to save your life, or you might not be there at all. So it’s worth taking the time now to make sure your children have basic survival skills.

Children learn by doing, and they learn by example. Even if you live in an urban area, you can take your kids into the woods on camping trips or even just day trips to teach them about nature. When you are stockpiling supplies, or building a shed, or even gutting a fish, let your children observe you and explain step-by-step how and why. Kids look up to their parents, so you’ll want to set an example of what true self-sufficiency looks like.

 

12 Survival Skills to Teach Your Kids TODAY

Your children need to master the following skills now, before it’s too late.

  • Safe drinking water – No matter how well-prepared your children are, they won’t make it far without safe, clean drinking water. It’s imperative that your children understand how to find water, identify if it’s safe, and how to filter and boil it to make it safe.
  • Understanding plants – After the SHTF, there won’t be a grocery store, so your children will need to learn how to find and grow their own food. Even young children can begin learning how to grow from seeds, how to identify edible plants, and which plants have medicinal properties.
  • Weapons-making and self-defense – Teach your children how to make weapons such as knives and bows and arrows and how to use them. They should understand how to defend themselves with and without a weapon, so make sure you work with them to teach them basic self-defense techniques.
  • Firearms safety – Your older children should understand the ins and outs of firearms safety, including how to load, assemble, disassemble, and clean a weapon. Most firing ranges allow children and offer training courses, which are worth looking into.
  • Hunting wild game – Your kids need to know how to hunt with a slingshot, how to hunt with a bow and arrow, how to operate a firearm, how to hunt small and large game, and how to prepare game.
  • Fishing – Teach your children the basics of fishing, such as how to make a fishing rod, how and where to catch fish, and how to clean and prepare fish. They should also be able to identify which fish are edible.
  • Food safety – Your children should know how to tell if food has spoiled or is otherwise unsafe to eat, and they should understand basic hygienic food prep techniques. They should also be shown how to open a can of food even if they don’t have a can opener.
  • Building shelter – Your children should understand how to stay dry, how to find shelter or build it, and how to stay concealed in the wild. You can make this into a fun game where you challenge them to stay hidden from you in the outdoors.
  • Fire safety – Be sure your child knows how to make a fire, even without matches, and how they can cook on an open fire. This involves going over fire safety essentials and making sure they understand the responsibility that goes along with building fires safely.
  • How to barter – Not only should your kids know how to trade, they should understand what kinds of items and skills can be traded. You can let them practice by selling old toys they no longer want at a garage sale.
  • Finding their way – If your kids don’t know how to use a compass, read a map, and how to find their way using the stars, it’s time to teach them. It’s also a good idea to make sure your kids pay attention to where you’re going so they’ll know how to reach landmarks and people.
  • Hygiene and first aid – There’s a lot that can go wrong if you don’t stay clean and dry. Teach your children basic health and hygiene and first aid. It is the key to being healthy and staying that way, and it could save their life or someone else’s.
  • Being part of a group – In modern society, far too many kids are whiners who melt down every time they’re asked to do something. This won’t work after TEOTWAWKI, so the time to nip this bad habit in the bud is NOW.

Helicopter Owners SHTF Guide

When time is of the essence you need to fly over the disaster. This is the way to do it.

The ultra-wealthy keep a private helicopter gassed up, stocked, and ready to go at all times. Any escape plan made by wealthy politicians involves helicopter transport at some point. Why? Because they know their lives literally depend on it. If you’re a person of means who is concerned about nuclear attacks, natural disasters, and social unrest, it’s time for you to consider investing in a private helicopter.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy

First things first: let’s talk cost. You can find a range of single-engine turbine helicopters in the $3M to $4M range. Twin-engine models are available in the $5M to $10M range. Some of the most expensive helicopter models can go well up into the millions. One thing to keep in mind is the more you spend, the more people you can take with you, the father you can go, and the faster you can do it. More expensive models hold more fuel, and some will be able to take you as many as 350 miles before you have to stop to refuel.

 

The Airbus H155 will run you a cool $10M. For your investment you’ll be treated to refreshing air conditioning, supple leather seats, and an in-flight entertainment system. The AgustaWestland AW609 costs $14M, and it’s worth every penny because it flies twice as fast as a typical helicopter while giving the operator the ability to take off and land vertically. When your landing options are limited, this is incredibly important.

 

Stratford, Connecticut is the home of Lockheed-Martin’s airport manufacturer Sikorsky, who are innovators in autonomous flight technology. They have developed a pilotless helicopter that is capable of taking people with no helicopter flight experience on guided tours. While this technology is simply incredible, it’s also completely unrealistic in a crisis situation. Especially if an EMP attack is involved. Owning your helicopter outright is the ideal situation, because at TEOTWAWKI it’s not going to be possible to rent. However, for the time being, renting may be the way to go while you decide what your next move will be and which features work best for your needs.

 

You don’t have to buy a helicopter in order to learn how to fly one. Another option you may want to consider is a fractional corporate lease. For a few thousand a month, you’ll be allotted a certain number of hours to use the helicopter. This bundle deal offers convenience because it includes things owners have to worry about like fuel, oil, insurance, and landing fees.

 

If you’re primarily using a helicopter to avoid a long, crowded commute or to fly out to the islands for a weekend, then you will be able to decide whether you want to fly or be flown by a professional pilot. In a SHTF situation, it is highly likely that you will have no such luxury. The time it would spend to wait for your personal pilot to arrive could mean the difference between life and death—and what if he’s unable to arrive at all? This is why it is essential that you receive helicopter training.

 

What You’ll Need to Get Your Helicopter Pilot License

There are some requirements to get your license here in the United States, such as being at least 17 years old and being able to speak, read, and write in English. These shouldn’t be a problem for you. After all, you ascend to your financial position because you aren’t a quick thinker. To get your license you must:

  • Pass a practical test
  • Pass a written test
  • Be endorsed by an instructor
  • Meet the aeronautical experience requirements
  • Hold a student pilot certificate
  • Comply with Federal Aviation Regulations

 

Most areas have flying schools where you’ll be able to get the minimum required 40 hours of training (and possibly many more), which can easily take a year to complete. You’ll need 20 hours of training from an authorized instructor and 10 hours of solo flight training. This will include three hours of cross-country, three takeoffs and landings, and more. You can do home study, but spending time with an instructor is a much more valuable use of your time and resources. They are knowledgeable and you can ask them questions as they come up. There are other courses you may also want to consider, depending upon your unique needs and your location, such as open-water and winter survival courses.

 

What You’ll Need On-Board

Despite the luxury features and amenities that are available in today’s most upscale helicopters, the model you choose and what you bring onboard are a matter of survival. You’ll want to make sure you have everything you’ll need ready to go ahead of time, in case you need to take off in a hurry. In your helicopter survival kit, you’ll want to keep a sleeping bag, warm clothing, a first aid kit, an axe and a bow saw, your essential survival tools and personal items, and, of course, firearms and plenty of ammo. You’ll also want to make sure you have aircraft maps of your area and enough jet fuel on-hand to get to your final destination, wherever it may be.

 

 

These are the Top 10 most luxurious helicopters in the world.

 

When you need to bug out in a hurry, you’ll want one of these.

The Survivalist Mindset: Do You Have It?

Survival isn’t always about the gear you carry…

Hello everyone, this is Rob Raskin of Las Vegas, and this week I’d like to talk to you about what it takes to be mentally prepared to survive a disaster. We’ve all heard stories of people who went into the wild with a lot of planning and equipment and then perished. We’ve also heard unbelievable stories about people who found themselves in life-threatening circumstances with no preparation and made it out alive. What’s the difference between those who make it and those who do not?

Your most powerful and reliable survival tool isn’t something you can buy: It’s your mind. Even when you have no gear, no supplies, and it seems like you have no chance, as long as you are mentally tough you have what it takes to get through it. Often, to get others through it with you as well. Conversely, even with the most high-tech, sophisticated gear and weapons, if you’re mentally weak and you can’t handle pressure, you may very well be doomed.

Traits a True Survivalist Must Have
Here at CATS2010, I have shared an ongoing series of riveting survival stories that have captivated my attention. Despite harrowing odds, these individuals survived because they shared the following traits.

• The ability to embrace learning – A true survivalist reads, researches, practices, seeks out mentors, and looks for new ways to do everything. If you’re never satisfied the first time because you know you can do it better, this describes you.

• A positive mental attitude – A true survivalist knows a defeatist attitude is the first step in…well, defeat. You are going to make it because your mind is sharp and you know how to stay focused, without letting ego, fear, stress, and emotions get in the way.

• A commitment to self-care – How are you going to survive if you aren’t strong enough to endure? The simple answer is, you aren’t. A true survivalist stays in shape by running, lifting, hiking, climbing, swimming, and doing whatever they can to keep strong and active.

• A community they are a part of – Your chances of survival are greatly increased if you don’t go it alone. When the SHTF, you’ll want a trained team behind you, each of whom brings a skill to the table. A true survivalist knows how to build, nurture, and maintain these alliances.

• The motivation to push through the worst of it – A true survivalist will persevere after others have thrown in the towel. Your mental toughness and refusal to give up will not only keep you alive—it will help the people around you to survive.

• Natural leadership ability – A born survivalist is a born leader. You know how to cut through the BS and get straight to the heart of the matter so you can do what needs to be done. People look to you for guidance because they know you can be counted on.

• The ability to be adaptable – Throughout the history of the planet, organisms that could not adapt and evolve have died out. This will include you if you can’t identify what is worth keeping and what you need to let go of if you want to stay alive.

If you see these traits in yourself, you’re off to a great start and likely to survive the worst. If not, it’s not too late to develop these traits now, but someday soon it may be. Time to get started!

How to Develop the Survival Mindset
One of the best ways to develop the strong, positive survival mindset you’ll need is to practice endurance techniques. Push your body and your mind beyond anything you’ve previously expected of yourself. Workout harder. Run farther. See how long you can tolerate immersion in cold water. Use visualization and meditation to focus and picture yourself overcoming obstacles. Step outside of your comfort zone and do something you always said you would not.

One exercise you may find helpful is to picture various disaster scenarios and imagine how you would react. What would you do if there was a terrorist attack wherever you are right now, using whatever is at your immediate disposal? Would you be able to defend yourself? Would you be able to help others? Do you know where the escape routes are? Do you know which rooms can be locked? Once you consider the possibilities, it becomes obvious there is a lot to mentally prepare for.

On top of the possibility of terror attacks, Americans today face social unrest, EMP strikes, natural disasters like flash floods, earthquakes, and tornadoes, and more. Once you have trained your mind to think and react like a survivor, you will have a significant advantage over those who weren’t prepared.

The late Colonel Jeff Cooper discusses mental conditioning for combat.

You can cultivate a survival mindset.

You Know You Want to Buy a Tank

You Know You Want to Buy a Tank

It has been estimated that there are as many as 1,000 private tank owners in the United States today. Why aren’t you one of them?

Here at the Millionaire Survivalist, we’re not saying you’re going to need a tank after the apocalypse. But we’re also not saying you’re not going to need one. Once you’ve experienced driving a tank yourself, you’re going to be looking for excuses to add one to your personal arsenal anyway.

It is 100% legal to own a tank in the United States, though laws do vary by country. After the SHTF, law and order will most likely be right out the window anyway. Currently, you can legally purchase a tank online for just $25K, which is a small price to pay for a weapon that makes a statement like this one. However, that is for a very basic tank. There are many high-end options available. Russia’s T90 is a bargain at $2.23 million, South Korea’s K-2 Black Panther is available for $8.5 million, and Leclerc, France’s AMX-56 will set you back $27.183 billion.

It is completely legal to own a tank in the US and many other countries. There are no US Federal restrictions if you own a tank that has been demilitarized, but that’s not going to do you any good if society has collapsed. However, if you want a tank that has had the main gun disabled so you can

practice driving it on your own private land, you will be free to do so without restrictions in most areas. Just make sure to check your local and state laws first. If they prohibit tank ownership, consider moving.

Registering Your NFA Weapon

Tanks that have not been demilitarized are classified as destructive devices by the NFA. There is an amnesty period of 30 to 90 days involved if you want to buy a tank. That means there’s going to be a background check, you’ll need to register it, and you’ll need to prepare yourself for the fact that there’s going to be a ton of paperwork and you’re going to pay a lot of taxes. The transfer process is involved, but you’ll get there, eventually. This is definitely a case where good things come to those who wait.

Because of their NFA classification, if you want to take your tank across state lines, you’re going to have to report it to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives first.

Take a Tank for a Test Drive

If you want to take a tank for a test drive before you invest, you’re in luck because there are plenty of places to do so all across the US.

Nevada At Battlefield Vegas you will find a British Chieftain Mk8 that has been refitted to become an M1A1 Abrams replica. Yes, you will be able to drive it over a car. One of the fun things about going with this company is they’ll send a military Humvee to get you from your hotel. This is the place to go if you don’t want to deal with safety classes

Minnesota At Drive A Tank in Kasota, you will be able to drive tank models FV433 Abbott SPG, FV432 APC, Russian T-55 MBT, Chieftain MBT, and Sherman E8 right over a car. They also offer a two-car package, and, yes, you are reading this right, there’s a mobile home package. Expect a comprehensive experience here, with safety training and a look into the history of tanks.

Georgia It just isn’t right to visit the South without a trip to Tank Town USA. This is your chance to see the Blue Ridge Mountains. You’re going to want to bring a friend here, because they offer “adventures” involving a second driver and the option to add a second car crush. They also have an excavator operation package. That’s like the Tonka Truck you had as a child, but so much better.

Florida If you’re in Florida for the winter, check out Melbourne’s Tank America. Their Advanced Tank Package offers a terrain course and car crush in an FV433. Their Tier Elite Package is billed on the site as “Drive Crush Shoot.” Sounds good to me! Tank America’s tank expeditions are only available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so book your trip on the weekend.

Texas You can’t crush a car at Texas’s Ox Hunting Ranch, but you can drive and shoot real WWII tanks. And they’ve got flamethrowers! This place has a fantastic selection of tanks to choose from, including a Sherman Tank, a Leopard Tank, a Chieftain Tank, and a Russian T-34-85. If you own property in Texas, consider a demilitarized tank on your own private land if you want to run a car over. Go here to the Ox Hunting Ranch to shoot.

Could Your Luxury Vehicle Survive an EMP Attack?

Print this now because you won’t be able to after an EMP attack.

Billionaire hedge-fund manager Paul Singer believes an electromagnetic pulse attack is the biggest threat facing the US today, and it’s hard to deny he’s right. Enemies of the United States are hard at work developing weapons that can deliver our doom by detonating a missile or satellite miles above us. There is virtually no aspect of our society that won’t be affected, if not completely annihilated, by an EMP attack, but you are in a position to prepare yourself right now.

 

Due to the way the electric grid is designed in this country, once the first strike hits critical substations, the rest will fall quickly, giving you little chance to act. This is not the time you want to discover your pricey escape vehicle didn’t fare will in an attack.

What Are EMPs?

EMPs are pulses of energy that have the power to take out the grid, and they can be emitted from a nuclear blast and in other situations, including those related to natural phenomena. The threat of an EMP attack is serious enough that earlier this year President Trump issued “Executive Order on Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses.” If the billionaire sitting in the White House is taking this threat seriously, you should, too. There are any number of countries who potentially pose a threat, including Russia, China, North Korea, and even potentially Iran and Pakistan. An EMP attack would be catastrophic, crippling the economy and the military and resulting in an immediate state of chaos.

Should I Protect My Vehicles?

According to the Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, most automobiles will experience few effects at EMP field levels below 25 kV/m, with approximately 10% being seriously affected by higher field levels. Most automobiles won’t require any extra steps to end up okay in an EMP attack, even those with features that rely upon computers. However, we all know how expensive survival vehicles can be. If you have made a considerable investment into your survival vehicle fleet, you may want to consider using a conductive cloth that is made specially for protecting vehicles and generators in an EMP attack to add an extra layer of protection. You can afford it, so it doesn’t make any sense to skip this step.

Russia alone has the capability to hit the US with 2,000 EMP bursts that will fry virtually everything in the country. We’ll have no phones, no computers, no electricity, and for most, no survival supplies. You invested considerably in your survival, and the time to act to protect this investment is now, because there is nowhere in this country that will be outside of the effects of such an attack. Even your mountain hideaway won’t be safe, but you have to be able to get to that hideaway first if you want to find out for yourself.

If and when an EMP attack strikes, these are the areas you’ll want to avoid:

  • Congested cities
  • Large towns
  • Nuclear power plants

And, of course, it goes without saying you’ll want to avoid North Korea, LOL.

An EMP attack probably won’t kill you, but in the aftermath there will be plenty of conditions that will. There will be murders, automobile accidents, and endless other terrifying and potentially lethal threats.

About EMP attacks, Singer issued the following warning to investors. (Hint: that means YOU.)

 

“While these pages are typically chock full of scary or depressing scenarios, there is one risk that is head-and-shoulders above all the rest in terms of the scope of potential damage adjusted for the likelihood of occurrence, ” Singer wrote to clients of his $24.8 billion Elliott Management on Monday in a standard investment update letter. “Even horrendous nuclear war, except in its most extreme form, can [be] a relatively localized issue, and the threat from asteroids can (possibly) be mitigated.”

The billionaire further warned that it was only two years ago that a natural EMP event happened when the sun released a Carrington-magnitude burst. The position of the planet prevented this blast from hitting us, but let’s face it, we might not be as lucky next time.

While Singer has called for greater protection to the power grid and the electronic devices we rely on, we’re far from being protected. In the meantime, be smart and protect what you’ve got. You never know when you might need it.

Why Tech Billionaires are Talking About Mind Control

Make no mistake about it, behind closed doors, where no one can hear them, tech millionaires and billionaires are talking about how they can control the minds of those they depend upon for survival.

Did you know the hypnotic process known as “brainwashing” literally translates into the words for “brain” and “wash” in Mandarin Chinese? Brainwashing has typically been thought of as a negative process that is used in situations like cults and extremism. After the SHTF, however, you may see the benefit of using mind control and influence to create a cult of loyalty.

Your life will depend upon being surrounded by a team that is not able to be tricked, bribed, or otherwise persuaded into betraying you. This is especially true if you are a person of means, and others want what you have.

Despite the negative bias, the brainwashing process can also be used in a positive way. When we are born, our minds are clean slates. Parents, educators, and even television all brainwash us to a certain extent. What we grow up to believe and the things that are important to us are the result of ideas that are put into our heads. Cognitive therapies such as EMDR, which have a positive effect on those who are suffering from PTSD and other disorders, can also be viewed as a form of brainwashing.

We learn to control our own minds, or we risk having them controlled by others. Brainwashing can take those harmful messages that were programmed into you in the past and replace them with more positive, productive alternatives. In your bunker, you will have staff. You will have security team members. Using brainwashing techniques to ensure their loyalty is to you and to you only can keep you safe and allow you to retain ownership of what is yours.

How Brainwashing Works

There are three key steps involved in brainwashing an individual: repetition, criticism and self-criticism to instill doubt, and not allowing that person to have private time for reflection by keeping them involved in activities. These steps have been proven to have the ability to instill loyalty in a leader or cause.

By using the following techniques, you can take to induce a state of suggestibility:

  • Guided relaxation or meditation
  • Rejection of old values
  • Repetitive chanting
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Repetitive music
  • Condemning and praising similar behavior
  • Group pressure
  • Discouraging individualism
  • Inducing guilt
  • The donation of assets
  • Encouraging confessions
  • Creating a sense of righteousness for conformity
  • Controlled approval
  • Requiring dress codes
  • Extreme hot or cold temperatures
  • Extended light or darkness
  • Patterned, paced speech
  • Love bombing
  • Introducing subliminal messages
  • Encouraging the rejection of logic

Obviously brainwashing your staff is not something you’d do in our society is today. However, in a different reality, one in which loyalty can spell life or death, brainwashing is a possibility you can’t rule out.
