Wal Mart Free-For-All A Taste Of Things To Come? These Maps Show Us American 'Danger
Zones' When SHTF
In the new story over at Survival Dan called "During The Collapse: Where To Go And What
Places To Avoid", he reports that when IT hits the fan, America's 'population hubs'
will likely explode with violence, looting and the total breakdown of law and order as
resources become next to impossible to get and the masses suddenly realize the government
isn't coming to save them.
Whether that be via total collapse, WW3 coming home to roost upon US soil or a 'grid event'
that leaves tens to hundreds of millions either without power or access to the money in their
bank accounts, the video directly below from a Wal Mart in Mexico gives us a very small
taste of what that world without law and order can quickly devolve into.
Showing what happens when suddenly 'lawless people' realize that there aren't enough security
guards in a Wal Mart store to stop them, we witness the kind of all-out 'free for all'
that we'll likely see in a collapse event, though the smart people would be carrying
out food, toilet paper and other necessities instead of flat screen TV's. And in an all-out
SHTF event, we'd expect that the people will likely be fighting with each other for the
few remaining resources as they are now in Venezuela where children are literally starving
to death.
Much more below including a warning from Alt Market's Brandon Smith that 'a full spectrum
crisis is about to take place' and more signs that what we're witnessing in Venezuela may
be coming to America. We also take a look at several different important maps which
show us where we don't want to be in full-scale SHTF but first, a Wal Mart in Mexico gives
us a small glimpse of what might happen here once it all comes crashing down.
As commenters on the live leak video clearly point out, we've already witnessed events
in America similar to what happened in the video above with packs of roving gangs showing
up in malls and convenience stores 'en masse', taking whatever they want and parading out
as if laws don't matter to them. Knowing such events are already taking place in 2017 America,
how much worse might things get when SHTF? As Susan Duclos reported this morning on ANP,
parts of America are already a boiling cauldron read to boil over. How many Americans are
the frogs in the simmering water?
In this December 2016 story on ANP called "Map Shows Us Where We Don't Want To Be When
It All Turns Ugly", we reported that nearly 50% of Americans live in very small geographical
locations. According to this story from the Daily Mail, half of the US population live
within 146 counties while the other 157 million are scattered across the other 3,000+.
The map seen directly below gives us a visual representation of what that looks like with
the counties seen below in blue making up approx. 50% of the US population while the
remaining 50% of Americans live across the rest of the country in counties seen in gray.
When SHTF, does anyone want to be in the blue areas?
As we also reported back in December, the map seen above showing the US counties with
the biggest populations coincides quite eerily with the map of US counties won by Hillary
Clinton during the last election seen below.
The next map below from James Wesley Rawles' Survival Blog shows US cities with approx.
100,000 population in yellow circles with the shaded areas surrounding them indicating
the distances from those cities with each shaded increment representing approx 40 miles.
Showing that most of the East coast and eastern half of the US are within 120 miles of big
cities, it's easy to understand why videographer The Prepared Mind selects some of the areas
seen in the final video below as his 'go to' areas for when SHTF.
As M.D. Creekmore over at the Survivalist Blog has previously brought to the attention
of preppers, getting out of the cities may not be possible for some who are tied to their
jobs when SHTF and many of the same areas mentioned in that videohave such low populations
for a very good reason - a major lack of jobs in areas long ago hit by the globalists economy
that has decimated much of America.
According to Brandon Smith in this recent story over at Alt Market, "I continue to believe
that a greater crisis is brewing that is economic and global in nature. With numerous financial
bubbles artificially inflated over at least eight years of central bank stimulus, the
question is not �if� but WHEN the system will enter the final stages of its ongoing
collapse."
Smith's warnings echo the warnings given by Doug Casey who recently stated "a civilization
always collapses from within. World War 1, in 1914, signaled the start of the long collapse
of Western Civilization. Of course, termites were already eating away at the foundations,
with the writings of people like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx. It�s been on an
accelerating downward path ever since...."
The new story from SHTFPlan is called �They Know Something That We Don�t� � Corporate
Insiders Are Unloading Their Stocks Like There�s No Tomorrow" within which we get more signs
that something big may be about to go down.:
There aren�t any surefire ways to tell if the stock market, and perhaps the rest of
the economy, is about to take a nosedive. That�s because millions of people with millions
of ideas are involved, so it�s an inherently unpredictable system. However, there are certain
players in our economy that have a lot more influence and insider knowledge than the rest
of us.
So when they make a move in unison, you know there�s a good chance that something is
about to go down. And that�s exactly what�s going on with the stock market right now.
The people who would stand to lose the most if the markets crashed; the corporate executives
and insiders, are all jumping ship and selling their stocks.
As Zero Hedge reports in this new story, we're now witnessing a retail collapse unlike anything
seen in America in a very long time with people going to online purchasing 'en masse', leading
to countless closings of businesses and bankruptcies. Another sign that we're heading the way of
Venezuela? With current shortages of some resources already dwarfing anything the world
has ever seen, will we soon witness empty shopping malls turned into FEMA camps? From
Zero Hedge:
APOCALYPSE NOW
In the midst of all of this is what is described as the �retail apocalypse�, there are
two main metrics that are pretty black and white.
Number of Bankruptcies: We�re not even one-third through 2017, and we already have about as
many retail bankruptcies as the previous year�s total. If they continue at the current pace,
we could see over 50 retailers bankrupt by the end of the year.
Number of Store Closings: So far we�ve seen roughly 3,000 store closings announced in
2017, and Credit Suisse estimates that could hit 8,600 by the end of the year. That would
easily surpass 2008�s total, which was 6,200 closings, to be the worst year in recent memory.
Here�s some of the companies that have already filed for bankruptcy:
Gordmans Stores Gander Mountain
Radioshack (again) HHGregg
BCBG Max Azria
Eastern Outfitters Wet Seal
The Limited Vanity Shop of Grand Forks
Payless Inc. MC Sports
For those who are stuck in the cities should all-out collapse or a grid down situation
hit, fortunately there are websites such as Apartment Prepper who offer excellent prepping
advice for anyone stuck in a location that may witness widespread rioting and chaos due
such events. Sharing with us urban survival strategies for what might happen when the
trucks quit bringing food and supplies into the cities, they report one of the most important
criteria for surviving in the cities is realizing ahead of time what you'll be up against. From
the Apartment Prepper.:
While it is entirely possible to survive in the city, you need to know what you will be
up against. I realize that I am painting a very bleak picture, but those who stay behind
and choose not to bug out are either under prepared, trapped in the city or have enough
skills and know-how to make it on very little stored resources. The latter will not be the
majority. Therefore, be prepared for roaming gangs, thugs and desperate individuals who
have resorted to a more primal version of themselves. They will do what they need to
in order for their needs to be met. If they haven�t eaten in days, they will smell your
food from miles away, so you need to know how to mask the smells of your food or you
could be welcoming unwanted visitors whose primary focus is to take what you have.
Security will be crucial in surviving in an urban setting and having a group you can depend
on will make it all the more secure. Many neighbors and friends living in close proximity
will band together and help to fortify the homes or find a suitable location in a higher
location so you can get a bird�s-eye view of the scenery. One aspect that the city offers
is a plethora of building materials to use for fortifying a home. If you start looking
for fortifying plans now, you will have a better idea on what materials you will need.
I also cannot stress how important it is to have a means of protecting yourself. If someone
kicks in your door, they aren�t only looking for a cup of sugar. Having a firearm and knowing
how to use it could make all the difference in the world.
As well, having a keen grasp on communication skills with your group to ensure your perimeter
is safe and make sure you will have alerts to possible threats. Communication is key
and you should have multiple forms of communication, especially if a family or group member ends
up being separated. One of the greatest threats we all face in cities are terrorist attacks.
They target highly populated cities with dirty bombs and chemical weapons, and what we saw
in Brussels that is can happen in peaceful cities, as well. Today it was Brussels. Where
will it be the next time they hit America? Protecting yourself is the only option to
ensuring your family has what it needs, including gas masks to gauge against chemical and biological
attacks.
Start Finding Ways to Think Outside of the Box:
As I mentioned previously, to survive in a post-disaster urban setting, you will need
to get creative in the way you work problems. Nothing should be wasted and everything could
be used. Trash lying around can be repurposed and fashioned into something more useful.
As well, start reading resources that can help you in your future preparations. The
following books have great information on this type of survival.:
In this new story from the NY Times they report in Venezuela's chaos, 'the elite' are now
playing a high stakes game of survival with their decisions on whether or not they should
continue to support Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro. If they continue to support Maduro
and he's brought down, there's a very good chance they could go down with him. However,
if they abandon him and Maduro's dictatorship marches on, those 'elite' who abandoned him
may have to pay with their lives if history once again repeats itself.
Meanwhile over at Zero Hedge today they report that Venezuela may have reached the inflection
point as many members of the military are defecting and have begun to march with the
protesters. As has previously been reported, members of the Venezuelan military and police
forces have been seen 'dumpster diving' for food, along with the general population.
Proving to us once again that food is being used as a weapon as it has throughout history,
what is happening in Venezuela and in retail establishments throughout America should be
watched very closely in the weeks and months ahead. Watching such signposts also hopefully
gives time to those who haven't yet prepared for what we pray never comes to America.
The next two videos below include more new footage out of Venezuela, a country that Americans
can learn great lessons from, while the 3rd video below features Rob Kirby along with
Dave from the X22Report in which they discuss, among other things, the US dollar's declining
roll as the world's reserve currency and what that might mean for Americans and the system
we live within as the world moves full-steam and dangerously ahead in 2017.
