15 common dynamics of SHTF collapses

When it comes to how we see and prepare for SHTF, thinking in terms of real and probable rather than fictional and possible can make a big difference. Even though SHTF has many forms and levels and is in essence complex, random, diverse and unsystematic, some patterns and principles are common to the way things unfold when it hits the fan.

With Toby and Selco's Seven Pillars of Urban Preparedness as inspiration, I came up with a different list of the 15 dynamics and realities of collapses.

#1 SHTF is nuanced and happens in stages

Thinking about SHTF as an ON/OFF, all-or-nothing endgame is a common mistake that can lead to severe misjudgments and failures in critical areas of preparedness. Part (or parts) of the system crash, freeze, fail, or become impaired. This is how SHTF happens in the real world. And when it does, people run for safety first, i.e., resort to more familiar behaviors, expecting things to "go back to normal soon."

By "normal behaviors," I mean everything from hoarding stuff (toilet paper?) to rioting, looting, and crime, and yes, using cash - as these happen all the time, even when things are normal. But no one becomes a barterer, a peddler, a precious metals specialist in a week. Society adapts as time passes (and the situation requires). That's why preppers who are also SHTF survivors (and thus talk from personal experience) insist that abandoning fantasies and caring for basics first is crucial. This is not a coincidence. It is how things happen in the real world.

'If any of these children are jabbed, we'll see you in court': Parents accuse school of GBH and threaten to sue if their teenagers are given Covid jabs without permission. Parents have served a 'cease and desist' legal notice on a school threatening to sue and potentially pursue GBH charges - if children are given Covid jabs without parental consent.

Moderna: A company "in need of a Hail Mary"

Before COVID-19, Moderna was in danger of hemorrhaging investors, as persistent safety concerns and other doubts about its mRNA delivery system threatened its entire product pipeline. Fear caused by the pandemic crisis made those concerns largely evaporate, even though there is no proof that they were ever resolved.

moderna WEF
Those analyzing the COVID-19 crisis and its effects have mostly focused on how its disruptive nature has led to major shifts and recalibrations throughout society and the economy. Such disruption has also lent itself to a variety of agendas that had required an event of "reset" potential in order to be realized. In the case of the vaccine industry, COVID-19 has led to dramatic changes in how federal agencies manage the approval of medical countermeasures during a declared crisis, how trials for vaccine candidates are conducted, how the public perceives vaccination, and even how the term "vaccine" is defined.

Such shifts, though obvious, have provoked praise from some and sharp criticism from others, with the latter category being largely censored from public discourse on television, in print, and online. However, in objectively analyzing such seismic changes, it's clear that most of these shifts in vaccine development and vaccine policy dramatically favor speed and the implementation of new and experimental technology at the expense of safety and thorough study. In the case of vaccines, it can be argued that no one benefitted more from these changes than the developers of the COVID-19 vaccines themselves, particularly the pharmaceutical and biotechnology company Moderna.

Swiss police used a water cannon, rubber bullets and tear gas to break up an anti-Covid protest on Thursday after a crowd of demonstrators broke through barriers outside the federal capital's parliament building.

The unauthorized protest saw around 500 critics of the government's Covid-19 restrictions gather for a weekly demonstration, as activists continue to reject the coronavirus health pass that has been in place since September 13

'We're in the middle of a major biological catastrophe': COVID expert Dr. Peter McCullough

Dr. Peter McCullough
Prominent physician Dr. Peter McCullough recently provided a well-documented lecture on the "catastrophe" of COVID-19 "gene-transfer" vaccines, the "loaded weapon" of the spike protein they produce, and the high effectiveness early treatments.

He also detailed the malfeasance, fraud, and conflicts-of-interest committed by U.S. medical officials.

McCullough, who has made the case that he is the world's foremost authority on the topic, set the tone for his remarks when he began to address a full hotel ballroom in Michigan on September 24.

"I think the reason why everybody's here is we have a sense that something very bad is going on in the world. And I'm here to tell you, I think it is," he said.

"If you feel tension right now and you feel some emotional distress and if you feel as if things aren't going right ... I think your perceptions are correct," the physician continued.

"And if your perceptions are correct, now's the time for action."

George Monbiot's Far-Right Projection

George Monbiot
In seeking to attack Covid sceptics as modern day Nazis, the veteran eco-warrior endorses ideas taken straight from the fascist hymn sheet.

George Monbiot is shocked.

But what has shocked George is not the rising tide of poverty and starvation in the world or the unprecedented transfer of wealth to a tiny number of oligarchs.

He is not shocked by the practical collapse of the rule of law or by the brutal actions of police officers in nations claiming to be liberal democracies.

It is possible that these things shock him as well, but if so, there is no sign of this in his recent article for the Guardian.

Comment: Monbiot is like an older male Greta, only more articulate.

Italy's vaccine uptake slows despite threat of mandate on Oct 15th

Protestors demonstrate against Italy's green pass in Rome on July 27th, 2021.
As Italy falls just short of its goal of vaccinating 80% of the population, the impending requirement for all workers to show a health certificate has yet to make a significant impact on the immunisation effort.

For a moment, it looked as though the Italian government would reach its goal of vaccinating 80% of Italy's population against the coronavirus by the end of September.

On September 30th, the counter hovered at a tantalisingly close 78.5%.


Comment: 'Tantalisingly'? That an invasive, coercive, and potentially deadly, medical procedure, that violates human rights and seeks to divide society, can be referred to in such a way reveals just how warped some people's thinking has become; more spefically, those who support draconian vaccine mandates.


A couple of weeks earlier, in a push to make it over the finish line, government ministers passed a decree making it obligatory for all workers to produce a health certificate or 'green pass' to enter the workplace from October 15th.

Comment: For insight into why the establishment may be so hellbent on pushing these experimental injections, see: RNA Vaccines, Obedience and Eugenics

7 States Push Noncitizen Voting, 4 States Say No

Litigation in Vermont has highlighted the expanding trend of noncitizen voting, which two cities in that state recently allowed. Municipalities in California and Maryland similarly allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. Other jurisdictions are considering doing so.

So far, these efforts to allow noncitizens to vote don't apply to national elections for president or Congress, nor to state offices such as governor or state legislator. For Democrats especially, though, this has been an emerging issue.

In July, The New York Times published an essay by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, a senior editor at The Nation, under the headline "There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote."

Congress passed legislation in 1996 to prohibit noncitizens from voting in federal elections. State constitutions vary, although so far the idea has been entirely a local matter. It has been more popular in local jurisdictions of some states than in others. Local laws giving the vote to noncitizens also vary. Some apply only to legal residents, such as green card holders. Others apply to illegal immigrants as well.

In a 2017 article, Joshua Douglas, a law professor at the University of Kentucky, identified 14 states that don't explicitly prohibit local governments from making noncitizens eligible to vote: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin.

French police arrest British man on London-bound Eurostar train 'for wearing wrong type of face mask'

Police remove man from train after an emergency stop in Lille, France
Armed French police have boarded a London-bound Eurostar and arrested a British passenger after a train manager accused him of wearing "the wrong type of mask". The extraordinary drama saw the unidentified man - who is in his 40s and believed to be from Liverpool - being hauled off the train after it made an emergency stop in Lille, northern France.

He was then surrounded by at least eight uniformed officers, and then left stranded when the train resumed its journey to England. As he was led away in front of other stunned passengers on Thursday afternoon, he said:
"I've done nothing wrong and respect all coronavirus rules - this is absolutely outrageous. I have absolutely no idea what this is all about, except that a Eurostar staff member has taken a very strong dislike to me, and accused me of not wearing the right type of mask. Now I'm going to be left alone in France, when all I wanted to do is get home from a work trip. This is very cruel treatment. We should all be getting on, not treating each other like this."
Other passengers then complained about the unscheduled, unannounced stop in Lille that caused a delay of some 15 minutes:
"Why is Eurostar stopping its trains, and delaying hundreds of passengers, because of a petty dispute over one man's mask?"
The female Eurostar manager - who remained on the train after the man was taken into custody - confirmed she had reported him for wearing the "wrong type of mask" for preventing the spread of coronavirus.

Asked why the man had been forced off the train, one of the Lille police officers confirmed he had been arrested, and said: "We don't know why, we'll have to find out."

Police arrest a man at an anti-lockdown protest in Sydney
Mobility in Sydney during lockdown has been 50% lower during weekdays and down 70% at weekends, data from an Australian company studying people's movements has revealed. In Melbourne, mobility has also dropped, down 40%.

The people of Australia's most populous city, Sydney in New South Wales (NSW), have shown a significant adherence to stay-at-home orders, according to mobility numbers released by Australian analytics firm DSpark. Around the middle of the local lockdown, weekday movement in the area was down by 51%, and on weekends travel beyond 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) sank by 72%, reaching its lowest point, Australian news website News.com.au reported on Friday, citing DSpark.
