I think we can all agree now that we've uncovered the fraud and overcome our initial denial, anger, and finally cognization that this is the paradigm we're in, we need to think about preparation for the worst scenario imaginable. Every problem has a solution, as this is an infinite universe where anything can manifest.
The founders of this nation exercised their right of self determination when they did what they did. We are even further disadvantaged now than they were as we're in a total surveillance state where communicating electronically is near impossible. Not to mention if the grid is down, not much would work in the "civilian world" anyway.
What must be done is create a different model that will make the beast system obsolete. We already know that they are going to pull the plug soon and they have C.O.G. in place. FEMA will lock everything down and have the entire apparatus of the tri-letter thugs behind them.
Our best strength is our sheer numerical advantage and the fact that we are all so spread out so survival will hinge on cooperation with as many local voluntaryists as possible.
Prof. Charles Greene has written a book called Darkest Days along with Alex Deacon of Backyard Liberty that lays out a pretty comprehensive plan of producing your own energy when the grid goes down.
There are several alternative energy sources that might be worth looking into such as HHO generators and solar scorchers. Check out the channel on YouTube- The King of Random, he has some pretty good DIY stuff that is applicable and fairly affordable.
