In the old days, we used to enjoy movies in which Robin Hood would “take from the rich and give to the poor”. But in the real world things are not supposed to work that way. In a civilized society, property rights are supposed to be respected. Unfortunately, the truth is that the U.S. is becoming less civilized with each passing day. At this point, a “Robin Hood mentality” is starting to emerge all over America. Highly organized gangs of thieves are specifically searching for wealthy targets, and those targets are often being followed all the way home before being attacked. I suppose that thieves must think that it makes a great deal of sense to target the wealthy, because robbing the rich is certainly a lot more lucrative than robbing the poor.
In Los Angeles, the police are openly admitting that over a dozen gangs are specifically targeting individuals that appear to have a lot of money…
More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city’s wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to police.
In many cases, they’re making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars — if not more — and then peddling them to black-market buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence, police said.
In recent years, it has become trendy to show off your wealth publicly, but I think that is going to change.
In our new environment, donning very expensive gear simply makes you a target.
According to Captain Jonathan Tippet, at least 17 gangs in Los Angeles are now conducting these sorts of attacks…
According to Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who spearheads the task force, police have identified at least 17 gangs, most based out of South L.A. and operating independently, that are involved. There were 165 such robberies in 2021 and 56 so far this year, he said, including several over the weekend.
Once upon a time, criminals would approach and politely ask you to hand over your belongings.
Needless to say, those days are long gone. In fact, these gangs often physically attack their wealthy victims without even saying a word…
“There’s no chance or opportunity for these victims even to comply. They’re just running up to people and attacking them, whether that’s putting a gun in their face or punching them and beating on them,” Tippet said. “Pistol whipping them as well.”
In some cases, police determined that gang members inside high-end venues served as “spotters” for those outside, Tippet said, alerting them when wealthy targets were heading out.
Sadly, the pace of these attacks appears to be accelerating.
According to authorities, there have been five more just within the last 48 hours, including one in which a woman was run into “by a Dodge muscle car”…
An LA woman was filmed being mown down by a Dodge muscle car so muggers could steal her watch as the city’s terrifying follow-home robberies soar.
The video from Monday, one of five such robberies that occurred over just 48 hours, shows the unidentified victim fleeing the muggers silver Dodge Challenger after they smashed her car window when she stopped at a light in Downtown LA.
There was a time when most violent crime was confined to the poorest parts of Los Angeles and those that lived in the wealthiest neighborhoods generally felt quite safe.
But now everything has changed. Today, the largest increases in violent crime are happening in the wealthiest zip codes…
The zip codes showing the largest increases are home to film and pop stars, including Beverly Hills, of “90210” fame, where Beyonce and Jay-Z have their West Coast house; Bel Air, of “Fresh Prince” Will Smith fame, where Jennifer Lopez now resides; and Los Feliz, where Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom share a house and where Angelina Jolie has resided since her divorce from Brad Pitt.
And in nearby Santa Monica, the Postal Service has actually suspended service because mail carriers were being attacked so often…
The United States Postal Service suspended service in a Santa Monica neighborhood after reports of repeated attacks on mail carriers.
In a notice posted at apartment mail boxes in the 1300 block of 14th Street, the USPS informed residents that service to the neighborhood is suspended. The letter cited several assaults and threats against mail carriers by an individual.
A state of complete and utter chaos reigns on the streets of the largest cities of California, but of course there is plenty of violence elsewhere too.
On Tuesday, a mass shooting on a subway train in New York City made headlines all over the world…
At least 29 people were wounded on Tuesday after a gunman wearing a gas mask set off smoke grenades and opened fire inside a rush-hour subway train in Brooklyn, authorities said.
62-year-old Frank James regularly posted hate-filled videos on YouTube, and this shooting was obviously an attempt to draw a lot more attention to himself and to his hate-filled beliefs.
And it turns out that the FBI already knew all about him…
It has now emerged that he was known to the FBI and was questioned in 2019 in New Mexico though it is not yet clear why.
He was cleared but was entered into the state’s ‘Guardian Lead’ system.
The Guardian Program is the bureau’s terrorist threat and suspicious incident tracking system.
James had been repeatedly arrested over the years, and this is yet another example that shows the foolishness of putting violent criminals back on the streets.
Of course if we tried to lock up all of the violent criminals our prisons would be packed beyond capacity very rapidly. Violence is on the rise everywhere you look, and what we are witnessing right now is only just the beginning.
In New York City, the new mayor was supposed to crack down on crime, but instead crime rates just keep going up. In fact, the number of subway crimes in March 2022 was 55 percent higher than in March 2021.
But we shouldn’t just pick on New York City. Other major cities are seeing similar spikes in violent crime.
So if things are this bad already, what will things look like in this country when economic conditions get really, really bad?
You might want to think about that.
And if you have lots of money, you might want to think about ways that you can look “poorer”, because those that appear to be wealthy will be preyed upon more than ever in the days ahead.

Have you noticed that people are having emotional meltdowns all over the place these days? As a nation, we have become extremely high-strung and we are so easily offended. And for many of us, even the slightest thing can trigger an emotional frenzy that can last for days or even weeks. Obviously, the overall mental health of our nation is not in a good place right now. People are stressed out about inflation, people are stressed out about the widespread shortages that we have been witnessing, people are stressed out about the war in Ukraine, people are stressed out about politics, and people are stressed out about the COVID pandemic that seems as though it will never end. In fact, one recent survey discovered that stress levels are at an all-time high for 63 percent of Americans, and the pandemic is being blamed for that…
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Cove by Feelmore Labs, the survey found 63 percent of respondents feel their stress levels are currently at an all-time high due to the pandemic.
I feel so sorry for those that have worn masks and have been scared to go outside for the past two years.
Humans were created to be social creatures, and so isolation can very easily lead to depression.
The same survey that I referenced above also found that stress is having a very real negative impact on many Americans in a variety of ways…
With all of this in mind, 55 percent of respondents agree they’re more burned out now than before the pandemic started. Two out of three of those experiencing burnout say they’re so stressed and burned out that they struggle to focus. In fact, 64 percent feel like nothing can really help them reduce their stress and 58 percent think the healthy coping mechanisms they’ve picked up take too much time out of their day.
All of this stress has created an environment in which people will literally break down over the smallest things.
Many of us have become very fragile emotionally, and this appears to be especially true for a lot of our young people.
Let me give you an example. A video of a young woman frantically crying because of a cricket infestation in her home has now been viewed more than 5 million times on TikTok.
— Rodney Howard-Browne (@rhowardbrowne) April 2, 2022
A lot of people find that video to be extremely humorous, but I find it to be incredibly sad.
If we are going to suffer dramatic emotional meltdowns over such small things, what are we going to do when a global war causes a full-blown societal collapse?
Many Americans don’t realize that the U.S. is already deeply involved in World War 3. So far we have sent more than 2 billion dollars worth of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin just told the U.S. Senate that our military is constantly feeding the Ukrainians information about the location and behavior of Russian forces…
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said publicly for the first time Thursday that the US is providing intelligence to Ukrainian forces to conduct operations in the Donbas region.
Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Austin was asked whether the US was providing intelligence to help Ukraine carry out attacks against Russian forces in the separatist-controlled Donbas region or Crimea.
“We are providing them intelligence to conduct operations in the Donbas, that’s correct,” Austin said in response to the question from Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
And as I discussed yesterday, Austin has also admitted that Ukrainian troops are being brought to the United States to be trained to fight the Russians…
“This morning, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ukrainian troops training in the U.S. who are returning home to Ukraine today. Their bravery and skill are amazing. I made clear the U.S. will continue to provide them with the assistance they need.”
In addition, a French reporter that just returned from Ukraine is alleging that “Americans are directly in charge of the war on the ground”.

I hope that what he is reporting is not true, because it would be evidence that our leaders have completely gone off the deep end.
If we are directly involved in the war in Ukraine, that could easily lead to nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia.
And a nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia would mean the end of civilization as we know it today.
Meanwhile, tensions between North Korea and South Korea continue to rise. In fact, North Korea just blew up a golf resort that had originally been intended as a “symbol of peace” with South Korea…
North Korea has set off explosives to destroy a golfing resort for tourists that used to be a symbol for peace with neighbouring South Korea.
Satellite photographs have shown that the floating Haegumgang Hotel, part of the $75million (£57.5million) tourist resort in the mountains of Mount Kumgang, was partially demolished over the weekend.
I am entirely convinced that a conflict between North Korea and South Korea is coming, but I also believe that China will almost certainly invade Taiwan before that happens.
And I think that we will probably see a major war erupt in the Middle East before China invades Taiwan.
We definitely live during a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and what we are witnessing in Ukraine right now is just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course the war in Ukraine is already causing a great deal of global instability, and it has made our emerging worldwide food crisis a whole lot worse.
But for now, life in America is still somewhat normal.
If people can’t handle life as it is right now, what will they do when everything starts hitting the fan all at once?
Unfortunately, the truth is that our society is not emotionally equipped to handle what is ahead of us, and that reality should chill all of us to the core.

Are you looking for a portable jump starter to keep your vehicle running, no matter what?
Today, we are leveling up your knowledge on how to use a portable jump starter. And the best ones on the market today.
Specifically, we’ll be covering:
**Note: If you want to see our favorite Portable Jump Starters, feel free to SKIP AHEAD HERE.
Even in normal times, a dead vehicle battery is a massive inconvenience.
Sure, no one’s going to die, but you might be late to an important meeting. Or you may have to postpone a weekend getaway you’ve been planning for weeks.
BUT in a real emergency, you can’t afford a dead vehicle battery. The outcome quickly moves out of the “inconvenience” bucket to more severe results.
Perhaps it amounts to:
The bottom line is this:
Every responsible adult MUST invest in a powerful backup to get your vehicle started. Why? Because there may not be any other car around to jump-start your battery in a crisis.
If you own a vehicle, it’s irresponsible not to invest in a way to jump it in a pinch.
You need your own portable jump starter.
And portable jump starters have come a LONG way over the years. In the past, you had to carry large, clunky power stations or thick jumper cables.
But those units were cumbersome to store, and jumper cables required a second vehicle to use.
Nowadays, innovation in battery technology and portable power has eliminated these problems. And as you’ll learn shortly, the safety of these devices has skyrocketed as well.
First, what is a portable jump starter?
It’s a compact battery pack that’s powerful enough to boost a dead vehicle’s battery.
Now, you can get them with a host of other features like:
But those features are just icing on an essential survival cake. The jumper should be your primary focus.
Ok, so you went out and bought one. Awesome. Now what?
The good news is, with portable jump starters, you don’t need a mechanical engineering degree to use one. Unlike older intimidating portable jump starters, nowadays, they’re convenient, safe, and simple to use.
But each unit has unique instructions. So while they’re all very easy, they are not universal.
However, with that said, below are the general set of instructions for MOST portable jump starters today:
Here’s how:
A portable vehicle charger is designed to give you full voltage in the first few attempts. Then it will, unfortunately, decrease in power.
You need to make sure the first jumps count, so take the keys out of your vehicle.
Your Portable Jump Starter has two cables coming out of it with alligator clamps. These clamps allow for a secure connection to your battery posts.
Make sure you make the proper connections. Red clamp to positive and black clamp to negative.
Always turn on the jumper starter unit first. This will send the flow of electricity to your battery so your vehicle can use it.
Give it a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start your vehicle.
Note: Some portable jump starters use a sequence of beeps to signal when it’s ready to “start your vehicle”.
Once ready, turn the key over for about 5 seconds max. The portable jump starter will send a short burst of electricity. And most of the time, this will allow enough power to turn your engine’s starter.
But, if it doesn’t within 5 seconds, stop.
Try again if needed until it starts. But each successive failed attempt will reduce your chances of a successful jump.
This is why it’s critical to KEEP your portable jump starter full of juice at all times…
Your portable jump starter is there for when you need it, but it is only as good as the power charged in its battery.
When you buy your jump starter, it may have some charge, but you don’t want to take any chances.
Take it out of the box and plug it in until it reads fully charged.
There will be a power adapter to plug into any standard outlet. Once charged, you are good to go.
Put it back in the box and into your trunk or lockbox in your vehicle. The box will protect it from getting bumped around and stack well with your other gear.
At least once a month (or more often), make sure it still has a full charge, so you never get stuck without juice.
And if you use it to charge a phone or small electronic device in a pinch, make sure to top it back up the next chance you get.
Sure, it’s a nice feature to use some of the portable power for convenience. But NEVER let convenience undermine the REAL reason you’ve invested in it!
Yes. You can use your portable jump starter on a motorcycle. Even a motorcycle that’s been sitting for a while,
All motorcycle batteries are 12 volts, just like your car or truck. And your portable jump starter is also a 12-volt system.
Jump starting your motorbike is safer this way, too, because its battery is smaller. AND trying to jump it from a car or truck may damage the electrical system or battery.
It’s easy to use and pretty affordable as well.
Now you can see how versatile a portable jump starter is and why you need one. It’s a great emergency tool for your car, truck, motorcycle, as well as ATVs and snowmobiles.
Now, maybe you don’t have a portable jump starter yet. That’s ok; we’re going to show you the best ones on the market today.

The post How To Use A Portable Jump Starter (& Best Ones For Survival) appeared first on Skilled Survival.
Are you looking for a portable jump starter to keep your vehicle running, no matter what?
Today, we are leveling up your knowledge on how to use a portable jump starter. And the best ones on the market today.
Specifically, we’ll be covering:
**Note: If you want to see our favorite Portable Jump Starters, feel free to SKIP AHEAD HERE.
Even in normal times, a dead vehicle battery is a massive inconvenience.
Sure, no one’s going to die, but you might be late to an important meeting. Or you may have to postpone a weekend getaway you’ve been planning for weeks.
BUT in a real emergency, you can’t afford a dead vehicle battery. The outcome quickly moves out of the “inconvenience” bucket to more severe results.
Perhaps it amounts to:
The bottom line is this:
Every responsible adult MUST invest in a powerful backup to get your vehicle started. Why? Because there may not be any other car around to jump-start your battery in a crisis.
If you own a vehicle, it’s irresponsible not to invest in a way to jump it in a pinch.
You need your own portable jump starter.
And portable jump starters have come a LONG way over the years. In the past, you had to carry large, clunky power stations or thick jumper cables.
But those units were cumbersome to store, and jumper cables required a second vehicle to use.
Nowadays, innovation in battery technology and portable power has eliminated these problems. And as you’ll learn shortly, the safety of these devices has skyrocketed as well.
First, what is a portable jump starter?
It’s a compact battery pack that’s powerful enough to boost a dead vehicle’s battery.
Now, you can get them with a host of other features like:
But those features are just icing on an essential survival cake. The jumper should be your primary focus.
Ok, so you went out and bought one. Awesome. Now what?
The good news is, with portable jump starters, you don’t need a mechanical engineering degree to use one. Unlike older intimidating portable jump starters, nowadays, they’re convenient, safe, and simple to use.
But each unit has unique instructions. So while they’re all very easy, they are not universal.
However, with that said, below are the general set of instructions for MOST portable jump starters today:
Here’s how:
A portable vehicle charger is designed to give you full voltage in the first few attempts. Then it will, unfortunately, decrease in power.
You need to make sure the first jumps count, so take the keys out of your vehicle.
Your Portable Jump Starter has two cables coming out of it with alligator clamps. These clamps allow for a secure connection to your battery posts.
Make sure you make the proper connections. Red clamp to positive and black clamp to negative.
Always turn on the jumper starter unit first. This will send the flow of electricity to your battery so your vehicle can use it.
Give it a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start your vehicle.
Note: Some portable jump starters use a sequence of beeps to signal when it’s ready to “start your vehicle”.
Once ready, turn the key over for about 5 seconds max. The portable jump starter will send a short burst of electricity. And most of the time, this will allow enough power to turn your engine’s starter.
But, if it doesn’t within 5 seconds, stop.
Try again if needed until it starts. But each successive failed attempt will reduce your chances of a successful jump.
This is why it’s critical to KEEP your portable jump starter full of juice at all times…
Your portable jump starter is there for when you need it, but it is only as good as the power charged in its battery.
When you buy your jump starter, it may have some charge, but you don’t want to take any chances.
Take it out of the box and plug it in until it reads fully charged.
There will be a power adapter to plug into any standard outlet. Once charged, you are good to go.
Put it back in the box and into your trunk or lockbox in your vehicle. The box will protect it from getting bumped around and stack well with your other gear.
At least once a month (or more often), make sure it still has a full charge, so you never get stuck without juice.
And if you use it to charge a phone or small electronic device in a pinch, make sure to top it back up the next chance you get.
Sure, it’s a nice feature to use some of the portable power for convenience. But NEVER let convenience undermine the REAL reason you’ve invested in it!
Yes. You can use your portable jump starter on a motorcycle. Even a motorcycle that’s been sitting for a while,
All motorcycle batteries are 12 volts, just like your car or truck. And your portable jump starter is also a 12-volt system.
Jump starting your motorbike is safer this way, too, because its battery is smaller. AND trying to jump it from a car or truck may damage the electrical system or battery.
It’s easy to use and pretty affordable as well.
Now you can see how versatile a portable jump starter is and why you need one. It’s a great emergency tool for your car, truck, motorcycle, as well as ATVs and snowmobiles.
Now, maybe you don’t have a portable jump starter yet. That’s ok; we’re going to show you the best ones on the market today.
Their 1700 Peak Amp 12 Volt Jump Starter is precisely what you need when your vehicle’s battery is dead.
It is a 22Ah Clore Proformer battery that gives you multiple jumps per charge. And has a powerful 1700 peak amps of starting power.
It also has auto-recharging circuitry. So you can leave it in and always have charging capabilities when needed.
It has 42” heavy-duty #2 AWG welding cable leads with industrial clamps. And a DC outlet for charging 12-volt accessories, all housed in a heavy-duty case.
It also has a voltmeter to check the status of the battery by pressing an onboard button.
This is a great portable jump starter for your 12V vehicles.
The DXAEJ14 has added bells and whistles to your standard portable jump starter unit.
It has 1400 peak amps and 700 instant starting amps to get you up and running in no time.
It also has a patented alternator check function. This is especially handy to check that your alternator is working correctly.
This unit can do much more, though.
It has a 120 PSI digital compressor to pump up low tires with its surefit nozzle and auto-stop features.
It has 2 USB connections that allow you to charge multiple devices.
And it also comes with a powerful LED light and an LCD screen that has real-time information you see in the dark.

Over the past week, a large number of prominent voices have been calling for NATO intervention in Ukraine. Of course if NATO gets involved in the war, it is the U.S. military that is going to be doing the heavy lifting. Unfortunately, as you will see below, the U.S. military is actually shrinking because recruiting has become extremely difficult. So if we actually go into Ukraine, we are going to need a lot more people to volunteer. Will the talking heads on television that are endlessly advocating for a war with Russia be willing to join up? Of course not. Many of our politicians are talking a good game, but needless to say they won’t be going to Ukraine and neither will their children. The elite always count on someone else to fight their wars for them, but these days it is becoming increasingly challenging to find enough people that are willing to do that.
In the defense budget request for 2023 that was recently submitted by the Biden administration, it is being projected that the size of the U.S. Army will decline by 12,000 soldiers…
The 2023 defense budget request just released by the Biden administration reduces the size of the Army by 12,000 soldiers. It isn’t that the Army doesn’t need those soldiers—senior leaders have consistently said the Army is too small. The reason for the cut is that the Army projects that they won’t be able to recruit enough people to meet their quotas.
Considering the fact that we are on the verge of war with Russia, you would think that our politicians would be doing all that they can to make sure that we have enough troops.
But the truth is that at this point not that many young people want to sign up. In fact, there is a possibility that all four branches of our military could miss their recruiting goals this year…
Indeed, this year it’s possible none of the services will meet their recruiting goals. Only halfway into the fiscal year, the Army and the Navy recently raised their bonuses for recruits to an all-time high of $50,000, the head of Air Force recruiting told his recruiters “we have warning lights flashing,” and the Marine Corps is short recruiters because the recruiting business now is so difficult.
That is just sad.
The U.S. military was once the most mighty fighting machine on the entire planet, but now it is steadily shrinking.
In fact, even if you throw in all National Guard troops, it is being projected that the size of the U.S. Army will drop below one million for the first time in two decades…
The Army would fall under 1 million soldiers for the first time in 20 years under the new proposal, with active duty Army falling from 485,000 soldiers to 473,000. That number, combined with National Guard and Reserve forces, puts the U.S. total at 998,500 soldiers.
So what can be done?
Well, perhaps we can simply lower our standards. At this point, the vast majority of America’s young people don’t even meet the lowest standards for military service…
With each passing year, fewer and fewer young people qualify for military service. Widespread obesity (36 percent for ages 18-39), increasing numbers of youth afflicted with mental health issues (26 percent of youth aged 18-25), and other issues including criminal records or lack of high-school degrees is driving down the percentage of youths qualified to enlist without a waiver.
In 2016 a Pentagon study reported only 29 percent of Americans age 17 to 24 were eligible to enlist. Multiple sources now report that number has dropped to below 25 percent.
Also, it would probably be a good idea to rethink our television recruiting commercials.
For example, just check out this video where Chinese, Russian and U.S. recruiting videos are compared.
The truth is that our recruiting materials don’t appeal to real men.
But you need real men if you intend to fight and win real wars.
Instead, our leaders seem absolutely determined to turn our military into one of the “wokest” institutions in our entire society…
While Russia wages a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. Army is putting its soldiers through training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery, according to an official military presentation on the subject obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The mandatory presentation, “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria,” was given to officers earlier this month along with instructions for them to train their subordinates on the material. Portions of the presentation were provided to the Free Beacon by a whistleblower who was ordered to undergo the training as a high-ranking officer in the Army Special Forces.
Are you kidding me?
This sort of politically correct nonsense actually discourages a lot of young men from signing up, because many of them don’t want anything to do with what our military has become.
My father was in the U.S. Navy, and in those days I was proud to be a military kid.
But now everything has changed.
And it isn’t just our military. Overall, the willingness of the American people to defend our country if war breaks out has dropped to depressingly low levels…
If Americans were in the same position as Ukrainians right now, more Republicans than Democrats would stay and fight, according to a poll released Monday.
Of the Republicans surveyed in the Quinnipiac University Poll, 68% said they would stay and fight compared to 40% of Democrats. Among Democrats, 52% said they would flee the country, compared to 25% of Republicans.
As a nation, we simply are not prepared for any sort of a major conflict.
Just look at what happened in Afghanistan. Our military spent 20 years there, and the Taliban was even stronger when we left than when we first arrived.
And before we could even pull all of our troops out of Afghanistan, the Taliban had retaken the entire country from the Afghan army that we had spent billions upon billions of dollars to arm and train.
So now we want to fight Russia?
I don’t think so.
Sadly, war with Russia is coming eventually, and so we better get our act together.
And we had better get ourselves prepared for a conflict with China too, because it won’t be too long before the Chinese decide to invade Taiwan.
We have entered a time of wars and rumors of wars, and our new “woke military” is definitely not prepared to handle what is ahead.
Unfortunately, things are not likely to turn around any time soon, because either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris will be residing in the White House until at least January 2025.
