Preparing for 2016 – The most dangerous course of action

Preparing for 2016 – The most dangerous course of action


1 Comment
Stephen Coughlin was interviewed by Jamie Glazov recently (interview below).  The interview focused on what Stephen Coughlin thought may be the most dangerous course of action that will unfurl in the future, rather than the most likely.
I encourage everyone to spend the time listening to the interview.
Stephen Coughlin talks about the Al Qaeda / ISIS (Daesh) timeline and how from 2016  it is ‘phase six’ which is ‘total confrontation’.  Stephen Coughin then discusses the influx of Muslim refugees into Europe during 2015 and how they are predominately fighting age men.

What if the refugees coming into Europe are actually a Trojan Horse style Jihad army and total confrontation between Islam and The West ignites in Europe. What if this becomes the most dangerous course of action as a future outcome?

How this ‘total confrontation’ flares up is anyone’s guess.  It would most likely start with increased terror attacks to grind European society down until an open battle unfolds.

Has anyone prepared for a future where the most dangerous course of action is the outcome?

From across the ocean I look at Europe and sense ominous storm clouds are gathering over the continent. I know if I was living in Europe I would be quietly stockpiling food, improving my personal security and finding a local support network of like-minded people. I’d do this ‘just-in-case’ the most dangerous course of action was the future outcome.

Despite the storm clouds lurking over Europe, citizens of other Western nations should also start to batten down and get their house in order just in case the most dangerous course of action is the future outcome.

Listed below are five simple recommendations that are achievable and will put you in a strong position if the most dangerous course of action occurs:
  • Seek information from multiple sources.
  • Develop resilient physical health.
  • Become physically fit and agile.
  • Sort out your finances.
  • Prepare some basic equipment.

Seek information from multiple sources

Stephen Coughlin stresses at the end of the interview that in the ‘information-age’ we are struggling to find out what is really going on.  He urges the public to seek information not only from multiple news sources but via social media as well; and of course he also reminds people not to swallow anything whole, but to seek the truth.

Prepare for the most dangerous course of action by:
  • Staying informed about current events from multiple news sites.
  • Using alternative news sites, YouTube and Facebook groups to glean extra information
  • Monitoring any potential threats and changes in the world
  • Researching strategies you can implement to protect yourself or prepare for something more serious.
Fortunately we live in the information age.  Finding out information that can help keep us alive during a terror attack is literally at our fingertips.  Take for instance the YouTube video below on how to survive a mass shooting.



Develop resilient physical health

One of the most important things anyone can do if they are preparing for the most dangerous course of action is to get as healthy as possible and to ensure they avoid getting ‘preventable diseases’ such as diabetes two.

Two YouTube channels that I’ve listened to extensively are Prepper Nurse and The Patriot Nurse. Both ladies provide excellent information on how to prepare yourself to be physically-resilient health wise.

The reality is that in a crisis people with medical conditions or who are less agile are going to be the first people to be adversely affected. People who fit into this category need to have some contingency plan in place.

Developing resilient physical health covers such a vast arena. I would recommend that people start off by listening the Prepper Nurse and The Patriot Nurse. Reflect on their own personal physical health weaknesses before making any necessary changes.

Consider getting key vaccinations, such as a Tetanus vaccination. If there is a crisis situation where medical facilities are overloaded, you don’t want to find you are incapacitated because you stood on a rusty nail and got tetanus as a result.

Become physically fit and agile

Imagine this scenario. You are in a shopping mall and it gets attacked by a group of terrorists wielding powerful weapons. People need to either escape or hide.  Those with the physical fitness and agility will be able to do so; those who are obese and / or lack physical fitness will be exposed and at greater risk of being gunned down. Which category do you fit into, the agile and fit or the weak and overweight?

Physically fit, agile people who are not overweight have a better chance of hiding and and then escaping in the event of a terror attack. The Kenyan woman in this picture escaped gunman in the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi in 2013 by hiding in an air-vent until she could escape.

No one can predict the future or what may happen, but one thing that is most likely to guarantee survival is good physical fitness. For instance if there is a catastrophic terror event, it may require the population of a vast area to evacuate to a distance location on foot.

The people who are going to struggle are those who are in the overweight or obese category and those that lack the physical strength. Few people will have the time or energy to assist a stranger who is unable to physically make the distance.

Any people or resources dedicated to assisting people who are struggling to make the distance will target the vulnerable, such as the disable, the elderly or the very young.  Adults struggling to make it are not going to be on top of the priority list.

So take this period as the lull before the storm.  Review your weight and level of physical fitness.  If you have trouble losing weight seek advice and guidance from a trained professional such as a doctor, naturopath or dietician.

If you cannot afford to join a gym at least develop a habit of walking for 30 minutes each day.  Make some kind of effort to reduce your weight and develop a reasonable standard of physical fitness.

Sort out your Finances

A most dangerous course of action future outcome could have reverberations economically across the world.  You really don’t want to have messy finances if some kind of terror-induced economic crisis spreads.

Look at ways now you can pay of debt (credit cards, loans etc.,) and if necessary seek professional advice about the most skilful approach to sorting any financial minefields in your life. Also make sure you also have some savings to draw on just in case you or your family are involved in a massive terror attack and you need emergency funds.

Avoid purchasing the type of gear ‘Doomsday Preppers’ equip themselves with. Instead make sure you are ‘prepared’ by having your ‘everyday’ equipment in good working order. For instance, spend your money on ensuring your vehicle is well maintained so it is going to be reliable in an emergency situation.

If possible purchase some silver bullion.  My recommendation would be that it be recognisable within your own country. So if you are in Australia buy Australian silver rounds. In an emergency situation you want others to recognise them as legitimate currency to barter with.

Prepare some basic equipment

Unless you want to take up ‘Doomsday Prepping’ as a hobby avoid the ‘get-it-and-forget’ preparations. Focus on ensuring that you have some suitable equipment to use in an emergency situation, which you use in your daily life.

Stash some extra food away, but choose food you actually eat consistently in your everyday diet so you can rotate it.  For instance, if you eat brown rice consistently, make sure you have extra packages in the cupboard at all times.

Store some water.  If you have the storage space stash away some extra water in ten litre containers. Learn what the best containers are to use and  how well it will store in your environment.

Go and listen to the Prepper videos on YouTube and consider their suggestions about what items you may need in a crisis situation.  I could make many suggestions but I believe everyone lives in a different situation, with a unique set of circumstances, so they need to decide themselves what would best suit their needs.

If you decide that you need to buy some items and you are on a tight budget try buying gear second-hand from opt shops, garage sales or eBay (Gumtree is good in Australia).
