Following last week’s news that in the wake of the capital protests, the FBI is warning of “plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals”.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is all about the Great Reset agenda. People must be dependent on the government for their very survival so they can force everyone onto a fully centralized and tracked and traced digital dollar that they control. In exchange for your slavery, you’ll get a pittance – as long as you continue to obey the masters.
Our leaders are killing the U.S. dollar, and it is being done to thunderous applause.
The House and the Senate have now both passed the 1.9 trillion dollar “COVID relief bill”, and it will go to Joe Biden’s desk for his signature. Of course, we don’t actually have 1.9 trillion dollars to spend on yet another “COVID relief” package. In fact, we don’t even have one dollar to spend on another “COVID relief” package. Every single dollar that is spent will have to be borrowed, and that will soon push our national debt beyond the 30 trillion dollar mark. Sadly, our politicians seem convinced that giant mountains of dollars can be printed, borrowed, and spent indefinitely without any repercussions, and most Americans fully support what they are doing. In fact, one recent poll found that a whopping 78 percent of all Americans support more stimulus checks…
A huge majority of Americans, including nearly two-thirds of Republicans, support the $1,400 stimulus checks President Biden is calling for, and his full $1.9 trillion stimulus proposal also has strong public backing, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University.
The poll found that 78 percent of Americans supported the stimulus checks, including 90 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans — suggesting that Republicans in Congress who want to reduce the checks to $1,000 are out of step with their constituents on this issue.
If you are in that 78 percent, you are wrong.
Yes, it is nice to get a big, fat government check in the mail. But in the process, we are rapidly destroying our currency, and what we are doing to future generations of Americans is beyond criminal.
Previous COVID relief bills have had wide bipartisan support, but this one passed almost entirely along party lines…
The final vote Saturday in the Senate was 50-49 with all Republicans voting against the measure and all members of the Senate Democratic caucus supporting it. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, was not present for the vote. In the House, it didn’t earn a single Republican vote in the two times the bill came to a vote.
Biden ran on his ability to broker bipartisan efforts on Capitol Hill, drawing on his 36 years in the Senate and eight years as vice president. Republicans have viewed the bill as a betrayal of the bipartisanship Biden embraced and spoke of during his campaign.
This is being called a “big win” for Biden, and when Pelosi announced that the bill had passed the House she did a little “shimmy“…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the 220-211 vote result from the chair, prompting the bill’s supporters to burst into applause. Just a single Democrat voted against it.
Her glee at the outcome was evident even though she had a mask on. She executed what her daughter Christine called a ‘shimmy’ as she gaveled down the vote in a chamber where a five-vote majority gave her very little wiggle room.
After the vote was over, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy referred to the COVID relief package as “socialism”…
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., described it as a “laundry list of leftwing priorities” that “do not meet the needs of American families.”
“It is very liberal,” he said. “They called this the most progressive piece of legislation in history. For those who are watching, progressive means socialism.”
He is right, but I just wish that he would have figured that out several COVID relief packages ago.
Because the truth is that what we have already done to our currency is absolutely nightmarish. The following is the latest M1 chart from the Federal Reserve…
Thanks to our wild-spending politicians and unprecedented intervention in the financial markets by the Federal Reserve, we have now entered an era of hyperinflation.
It took from the founding of the United States to 2020 for M1 to get to 4 trillion dollars.
And then it took about one year for M1 to go from 4 trillion dollars to 18 trillion dollars.
This is utter madness.
Of course, the chart above doesn’t even reflect the impact that this new COVID relief package will have. Another 1.9 trillion dollars is about to be poured into the system, and that will make things even worse.
Needless to say, most Wall Street investors are absolutely thrilled that another tsunami of money is coming. One recent poll found that “37% of Main Street investors” plan to pour stimulus money directly into the Wall Street casino…
A recent Deutsche Bank survey found that 37% of Main Street investors, some of who could be members of the Reddit community, will plow a “large chunk” of stimulus money, about $170 billion, “directly into equities.”
These small but mighty investors have gained notoriety in recent months, creating volatility and heavy volume in a number of heavily shorted stocks, such as GameStop Corp., AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.
That should be very good news for stocks, but of course a major “trigger event” could crash the market at any time.
So we will have to wait and see how all of this plays out.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden just announced that he will unveil “the next phase” of his administration’s response to the pandemic on Thursday…
Just hours after the House passed the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion stimulus package (which will unleash another wave of “stimmies” that will inevitably find their way into millions of Robinhood and other discount brokerage accounts), President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would unveil “the next phase” of the US COVID-19 response on Thursday, which is also the one-year anniversary of the first COVID-inspired lockdowns in the US.
Even if more stimulus checks are not involved, any new programs that Biden announces will cost money, and that involves more borrowing.
We are printing, borrowing, and spending our way into oblivion, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame.
As I was preparing to write this article, I just kept thinking of the scene from one of the Star Wars movies where Emperor Palpatine announces that the Republic will be reorganized as “the first Galactic Empire”, and the Senate erupts in applause.
Our Republic is dying too, and our politicians are gleefully murdering the reserve currency of the entire planet.
This is not going to end well, but you already knew that.

A crucial part of being prepared for emergencies is to be fit enough to last the duration of the crisis and take the extra physical demands on your body. This requires some level of training.

Despite the myriad of questionable deaths and illnesses following the administration of the COVID-19 vaccines, there are still multiple political groups, corporations, and others who are pushing to make the jab mandatory. Now, at least one person is taking action to prevent it.
This month, a corrections officer filed a lawsuit against his workplace for requiring him to receive the vaccine in order to keep his job. Isaac Legaretta, sued a county manager and his supervisor earlier this month, Bloomberg Law reported, because they are requiring him to take the vaccine against his will.
“You can’t be forced to be a human guinea pig when a product is experimental,” said N. Ana Garner, an attorney for the suing Isaac Legaretta, who filed his complaint in U.S. District Court District of New Mexico Sunday. “We have the right to bodily integrity,” she told Bloomberg.
Indeed. And, to those who attempt to dispute the fact that this is experimental, you should read more. By the very definition of the phrase, “long-term effects” the literal long-term effects of the vaccine are completely unknown, making this vaccine experimental.
The approval and distribution process has been so fast that even those working on the front lines of the pandemic are expressing their concerns and refusing to take the jab.
Because they work on the front lines, healthcare workers are eligible to skip to the front of the line to receive the jab of the vaccine that was developed in record time. However, despite assurances from vaccine makers and their revolving door friends in the Food and Drug Administration, many of these front-line workers are leery of this rushed product.
“I think I would take the vaccine later on, but right now I am a little leery of it,” nurse Yolanda Dodson, 55, who works at the Montefiore Hospital in New York City and spent the spring in the heart of the deadly fight against the virus told AFP.
Unfortunately for Legaretta, the county is disputing his lawsuit thanks to the Centers for Disease Control and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) who claim that forcing employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine does not violate anyone’s rights.
While a private employer should be able to require various protocols for employment, Legaretta’s employer is the government.
The one thing Legaretta has in his corner is the fact that he has a qualifying condition preventing him from getting the vaccination, according to his attorney. As the Hill reports:
The American Disabilities Act (ADA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would allow for employee vaccination exemptions under certain health and religious reasons.
The EEOC in March 2020 said an employer covered by the ADA and Title VII can’t compel all of its employees to take a vaccine. Otherwise, employers are likely on firm legal ground to mandate vaccinations.
The US military can be used as a litmus test in this debate as well as they are quick to mandate nearly every single vaccine on the market. However, they have not mandated the COVID-19 vaccine. The reason behind their stance is that the FDA has not granted full approval to the vaccine. These vaccines being mandated by employers are still experimental and are only being distributed under an emergency use authorization (EUA) by the FDA — making the mandated aspect of them absolutely shocking.
Absent of a pandemic, these vaccines would not have seen the light of day for years.
Outside of the workplace safety debate, it is hard to think of a more fundamental right than what you choose to put into your own body. Forcing someone to undergo medical treatment against their will violates this most basic of rights—the right to be free from physical assault. While Lagaretta has a choice of whether or not to work at this place, the undue stress placed on him in such uncertain times of unemployment puts him in a position without many options.
To be clear, no one here is advocating “anti-vaxxer” information. TFTP is simply questioning the policy of the government and employers forcing medical procedures on citizens without their consent and advocating for fines, arrests, or firing of those who refuse. If you truly value freedom, you should also stand against forcing someone to inject something into their body that they do not want.

Water is essential to human life, and whether you are trudging through the Amazon rainforest or surviving a post-apocalyptic disaster; humans need water!

Today we are going over what IFAK stands for, what goes into an IFAK pouch, and why you need one.
Then we’ll cover the best IFAK Kits on the market today.
One thing is for sure. After reading this, you’ll know what you need to patch someone up in a traumatic accident or emergency.
Knowledge is power, and in a survival situation, the people with the best gear (and know how to use it) will thrive.
**Note: If you just want our top recommendations, feel free to SKIP AHEAD HERE.
IFAK stands for ‘Individual First Aid Kit” or ‘Improved First Aid Kit.”
Let’s get things straight right off the bat. An IFAK is NOT a standard first aid kit.
An IFAK isn’t a kit for carrying baby wipes, aspirins, and chapstick. Typical first aid kits are made for bumps, bruises, and cuts and can be useful to have in your home.
An IFAK kit is a first aid responders bag for traumatic injury.
They tend to be tailor-made for the type of person carrying it. And houses essential life-saving medical devices and supplies, such as:
Before the acronym ‘IFAK” became popular, military medics carried “IFAKs type” kits into dangerous situations. These small portable trauma kits treat and prevent various illnesses and injuries.
The bottom line is IFAKS are compact, wearable trauma kits that go with you.
Today everyone should have some kind of tactical first aid kit.
When there’s a car accident or a workplace injury, civilians are usually first on the scene. Before the medical pros arrive, you may need to give life-saving treatment.
Paramedics and EMTs wear simple IFAK pouches for quicker responses – even when they have extensive trauma kits in their emergency vehicles.
If you enjoy hiking or camping in remote areas, you absolutely need an IFAK. Hunting and fishing excursions don’t happen near hospitals.
Ambulances can’t get to you in the remote wild.
So whenever you’re deep in the bush, you’re on your own. And if there’s a traumatic injury, an IFAK is essential to saving your life or the life of a loved one.
The point is this:
Get an IFAK and stock it with the essentials you need for a serious medical emergency. Tailor it to what you’re doing and your medical skill level.
That way, you’ll be prepared for the most likely accidents you’ll come across.
Your IFAK can be in the form of a knapsack, bag, or pouch. It can carry critical emergency medical supplies as long as there’s quick access to what you need.
Here are a few of the essential features a quality IFAK should include:
Depending on the size of your IFAK, you should have side pouches that hold vital supplies.
These IFAK pouches should detach quickly from the main kit so you can get what you need rapidly.
You don’t want to have a problem opening up your pack in a crisis. A snagged zipper could turn into a delay in accessing critical supplies when time is of the essence.
A robust zipper will keep your supplies secure and open rapidly with confidence.
When you open up your IFAK, the layout inside needs to be well organized.
Separate zipped areas, pouches, and compartments can separate your items.
That way, you don’t have to fumble through a pile of stuff to find what you need.
You need to react fast to a survival situation, and bugging out can happen quickly. Robust handles on your pack are vital for rapid moves.
You may have to grab and go fast and run for a long distance.
Having straps to wear your IFAK as a backpack or fanny pack will keep it secure on your body.
You don’t need a bulky, heavy bag to carry around. Your IFAK should only contain the essentials you need for the situation.
The easier it is to pack, the more likely you will bring it along on all your adventures.
Here’s an excellent video that shares even more advanced IFAK features and tips:
You should build a DIY IFAK bag according to your risk profile and level of training. That’s why they should include basic first aid supplies, such as bandaids and pain killers.
But, the primary purpose of your IFAK Kit is to treat severe trauma.
There are many pre-packed kits out there you can buy. But for those serious, it can be better to build your own, based on what you need for the situation.
Because you don’t want to make your pack any heavier than it needs to be.
Traditional medical emergency procedures focus on ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation). In a survival or combat situation, the military uses the MARCH algorithm.
This acronym lays out the necessary steps in priority for saving lives in combat.
You should pack an IFAK for individual trauma emergencies as well as minor injuries.
Here is a list of your must-have IFAK contents to include in your own DIY IFAK build (watch the video or read our list below):
Gauze may be the most important thing you carry.
Compact gauze is a multi-use item that is essential to pack a large wound and stop bleeding. You can also wrap an injury as well as make a sling or splint with it.
It’s very versatile and cheap, so make sure and have a few rolls in your kit.
This gauze is more expensive, but it is vital in stopping massive bleeds.
It has a coagulating agent in the material. This material helps to stop bleeding faster, and you apply it directly to a cut artery.
Their primary function is direct contact with a massive hemorrhage.
This type of bandage works on hemorrhaging and provides compression. It combines a sterile dressing and an elastic bandage to keep constant pressure on a wound. And also comes with a closure bar attached to secure it in place.
An Israeli Bandage works well for head or groin injuries too, and if you are alone, you can quickly put it on with one hand. These are another must-have in your IFAK kit list.
A tourniquet is a band used to stop blood flow from an extremity wound.
Complications from using one can lead to tissue damage. But it can keep a person stable until you get them to a hospital.
Deep cuts, gunshot wounds, or crushed limbs are situations for a tourniquet.
Take the time to learn how to use one properly.
There are situations where you need to supply an open airway to an injured person. Having an NPA is the best way to treat an airway.
In an unconscious person, the tongue or airway muscles can block the throat. That’s why you need to get them breathing again FAST.
It’s easily inserted into the nostril to open up an airway and keep them alive.
If you get a puncture into the chest that causes air to pour in, you need to close that up ASAP.
Using a chest seal like the HALO Seal is a quick way to seal the hole.
Note: It sticks to skin, hair, blood, and sand. It’s also really flexible and will cover large, uneven areas around a wound.
Burns tend to occur unexpectantly from open flames or hot surfaces. So it’s essential to carry burn gel to ease pain and help jumpstart healing in the affected area ASAP.
You can also get a burn dressing with water gel in the material so you can apply it right on the burn.
From there, you can use gauze to cover the area.
Along with tourniquets, a control wrap can help stop bleeding. But it can do so without cutting off direct circulation.
You can also use them as an outside dressing over the gauze and extra support for sprained knees and ankles.
Besides these “trauma” focused items, your IFAK content list should also have additional medical supplies, including:
Here’s an excellent video that goes over (in detail) how to use an IFAK in an emergency:
