There Is Something Very Wrong Here…

This blog post is actually pulled from a new section in the Family Safe, Take America Back membership area… I felt it was something our members would not mind me sharing on our blog…

Paul’s Advice:

How to get some money for emergencies:

Consider cutting out some expenses, and taking the money you were spending and converting it to a cash and silver reserve for yourself.

What not to do with your money:

Do not put your “stash” money in your bank account, the banks can close or you could be in a position to not be able to get to your bank, and some cash on hand is always a good idea.

Do not tell anyone you have it.

Where to hide your money:

Some places you can stash a small amount of “stashable stuff” are:

Behind your dishwasher, in the insulation in your attic between the support beams, in a hollow door dropped in from the top in a piece of styrofoam that fits snugly and will stop the silver or other stashed stuff from making any noise when the door is opened or closed…

In a box clearly marked Christmas decorations, or Tax receipts 2009, at the bottom…

How to get silver:

Consider first looking for a place that sells gold and silver in your town. Look at our chart in the What About Making And Keeping Some Money Section to know what spot price is and do not pay over $2.00 over current spot.

If you can, purchase liberty dollars, junk silver coins, which are not junk but are pre 1964 minted US coins and are 75% silver…

Next, silver rounds.. with a National Mint mark.. this is to make identification easier when you wish to sell your silver.

Be careful purchasing silver anywhere online other than a National Mint as people are now counterfitting silver…

Ideas on what to cut out to use the money to build your stash with:

1) Latte

2) Car Washes

3) TV Movie Channel

4) Maid Service

5) Online Subscriptions you are not getting value from

6) Eating Out

7) Extra Purchases that are for consumer “suckers” such as the latest “Red” phone or new electronic toy

8) Storage Units – hey you have too much stuff!

9) Make a list of what you spend but don’t need it to “Live”

Stop these expenses and put that same amount into your cash and silver stash… if this is a significant amount consider small gold coins such as 1/10 ounce.

Start now… Make changes today.. don’t end up walking down the road in your flip flops, with no money, no food, no water, no way to defend yourself. This program is to help you prepare for emergencies…

So…Prepare…. Now. We are here to help you do just that.

The “New” Preparedness

The New Preparedness, It is Not what you are thinking…

preparedness from being broke

I'm broke with no preparedness

It was weird… I teach Preparedness.. earthquakes, terrorists attacks, tornadoes, EMP, Fires, Civil Uprising, Economic Collapse, Home Invasion, Armed Combat, Hand to Hand Combat, Food Storage, Emergency Preparedness…

And I did a survey with my members and asked them, what do you most want me to focus training on.. in other words for preparedness, what’s your first choice?

The answer surprised me!

94% did not pick earthquakes, terrorists attacks, tornadoes, EMP, Fires, Civil Uprising, Economic Collapse, Home Invasion, Armed Combat, Hand to Hand Combat, Food Storage, Emergency Preparedness…

94% told me they needed money and needed “Preparedness” for their own personal financial picture!

The actual answer of choice was, I want preparedness in my own personal finances as I am having to change my own lifestyle and I”m scared it’s getting worse…

So, what do I do in preparedness training for that?

I can’t  teach you to shoot for financial  preparedness, how to punch for economic preparedness or how to store for financial preparedness…

Or can I?

Shoot? No.  Punch for financial preparedness? No… but store for financial preparedness?

Yes! That’s it!…

Wait.. let’s look at that for a minute.. when people say they are scared about their current lifestyle hitting the skids.. they are not talking about later, they are talking about preparedness, today!

So let’s give storage a big fat 0% rating for help TODAY.

How about preparedness… later?  Well that number changes significantly if we consider later.. and I like later… but we have to get through today first, right?

So if I am going to help people in preparedness for later, I have to first help them in preparedness for today!

So as important as storage is for… later… because if we live thru today, tomorrow, which is today’s later will be better if we began our preparedness for it today!

But let’s  focus on today first, since that is what we have now OK?

So What’s Preparedness Now?

To know whatPreparedness now means, let’s figure out what we most want today…

I want air conditioning because it’s 105 outside in Dallas right now and I live in Dallas right now, so if you ask me what’s important for preparedness right now, I would say my air conditioner.

And have I done any preparedness, “things” to make sure I have my air conditioner?

Yep! I am an air conditioner preparedness expert!  I’ve put 1/4 teaspoon in the drain system of my central heat and air unit, I’ve called the air conditioner people and asked what to do to keep my unit running…

They taught me how to clean the outside…. so, I am in a state   of100% air conditioner preparedness.. or am I?

Two things…

1) Is my air conditioner really what I want to focus first on today and…
2) What did I not consider in my air conditioner preparedness thinking above?

Money.  I have to pay to keep it running.  And there was no preparedness in my thinking process as wonderful as it was…

Which leads us to a great new piece of information about preparedness in general… you have to consider, ponder, think of and find out everything you may need to know in order to make an effective preparedness plan!

Leave out one little thing and your entire preparedness process may become junk.

For example what if I don’t pay my utility bill on my clean, well operating air conditioner unit?

Everything else I did in my preparedness plan just turned worthless….

What Happens If I have no Preparedness?

As the example shows.. your preparedness plan usually has to be complete, it may sound funny but I would even venture to say, completely complete…

As in today’s lesson is.. if you want to be prepared, you need a preparedness plan that is complete and that you have “enacted” completely!

So you have to think of everything and then do everything you thought of!

And the weird part?  We just decided we had to think of everything and do everything if we want true preparedness… but even when we try to think of everything and do everything, often we can’t.

Or worse, won’t.

Most of the readers of the Family Save, Encer, Keep America Safe and who knows what
the next name will be.. but as most of you reading this…

Are thinkers and preparers….

So for you thinkers in preparedness… not you guys who just don’t care or are overwhelmed into non-action…

But as you guys and gals who have made the decision to be a person of great preparedness of things that have a likely percentage of happening that you don’t want to happen and you want, if you arrive in that situation to have done everything in your powerful to have a preparedness plan you can enact to make yourself, safe and as comfortable as possible…

As you guys know, it takes a lot of effort to do all we can, but doing so may still leave some holes in our plan… which is why many of us… or if not why, at least to our peace of mind, believe that God is in control and we have THAT in our favor…

Talking about stacking the deck in our favor!  No.. now don’t think I am drifting, I am just thinking on preparedness.. as in the Ultimate preparedness   :- )

But I’ll keep going… just a little seed… just a little something, something for you to ponder if you haven’t already…

So the bottom line for today?

Get your preparedness plans going now, meaning start thinking about what you are most likely wanting to be prepared “FOR” and what it will take to do so…

Remember that the Christian faith teaches us, we are not writing the book but reading it and are under the care of our creator…

And… probably at the ROOT of much of our preparedness we need to remain as calm
and thoughtful as we can and realize that no matter how much we plan, that we may
miss something and have to improvise…  so keep your mindset as such…

Also finally preparedness is much mindset, much is “stuff” that takes income which
is why we are now doing two types of calls:

1) The “Preparedness” is the New Niche and Income online and…
2) All things Preparedness

Because I want you to have enough funds to be prepared and the thoughtfulness
and determination to follow thru!

See you inside friend!

Emergency Preparedness, Who Needs It?

Who Needs Emergency Preparedness?

With everything going on in the world today Emergency Preparedness is becoming a better and better idea… at least for those of us  with hopes on  on living thru the emergencies that life throws at us!

 ”THE” Emergency Preparedness Question…

So notice the woman below, her emergency preparedness level looks to be quite low as now she appears to be left without food.

What if she had 3 months worth of food she had stored up as she was purchasing regular groceries during the regular times?

The answer is, she would now have three months of eating food instead of being a refugee and perhaps living and perhaps not…

And what of her emergency preparedness plan?  Do you see it in place?  It seems to be.. uh oh.. I have no food, I am going to die unless someone real nice happens along and wants to feed me.

Just What Does Emergency Preparedness Mean?

Emergency preparedness means, I do have food, I have a way to warm it up and prepare it so that it is life saving and enjoyable.  I have other things I need as well, such as a flash light or a blanket or spare batteries or a radio or walki talki’s to communicate with my family all around our property.

You will probably find your self in some sort of emergency if you live long enough.. Emergency preparedness just means you are prepared to keep living even when that happens.

Either way a emergency preparedness plan for some is exactly what you see in the picture… doing nothing, hoping nothing happens and if it does, deciding you have no food, no water, no supplies, nothing you need to keep living.

Emergency Preparedness

When Is A Good Time To Prepare?

 

What Is Emergency Preparedness?

The most simple way to prepare for an emergency is to put a little thought into what you think may be the most likely thing to happen and then to plan on what to do in the event that it does happen.

In other words emergency preparedness simply means you are prepared to live thru an emergency or disaster to what ever level of comfort and safety you pre-planned for.

Emergency Preparedness Examples:

And example… if you live in Oklahoma in tornado alley, it would be a great idea to have
a tornado shelter, and to stock it with items you would need in the event that you house was no longer where you left it when you come up out of your shelter.

Or if you lived in New Orleans by a levee, you may wish to have an inflatable raft and some emergency water, food, and supplies… perhaps some dry clothes sealed in a large plastic bag.

And as there were roving gangs of thugs I would certainly offer you to consider that your emergency preparedness plan would include a way to protect yourself and loved ones

You may wish to prepare your self physically and mentally for the challenge that you feel that you have a reasonable expectation of experiencing.  This may include looking at instances of this event in the past and asking yourself what would you want to have if it happened again… to you.

Emergency Preparedness Facts:

Did you know that over 90% of Americans lived in an area with moderate and above threat of fire, hurricane, severe storms, tornado, or earthquake?

And did you know that less than 11% of them have any emergency preparation?  In other words when they are faced with a fire, or an earthquake, or a tornado or severe storm then the best they can hope for is that someone comes to help them…

What about your pets?  Have you considered what would happen to them if you were met with a disaster such as a flood, severe storm or fire?  And you wanted to go to a shelter and they did not take pets?

By the way you DO NOT want to go to a shelter.  You almost NEVER want to end up with a large group of desperate, hungry, scared people, ever.

Emergency Preparedness, How Good Is Your Plan?

Emergency preparedness means you don’t have to, that you have prepared and planned and now have what you need to live in some level of comfort and safety.

That is a pretty sad plan… to me it is equal to covering the gas tank indicator in your car with tape so you can’t see how much gas you have and then going for a long drive…. eventually the gas will run out even if you didn’t see the tank was getting empty.

And your plan now may be to start walking… emergency preparedness may be to watch your gas level and know where you are driving so you can determine if you should purchase more gasoline for your trip…

And for those of you who are traveling a great distance over unknown territory it certainly is not unreasonable to have a spare can of gas in your trunk, or at least a gas can.

Emergency Preparedness isn’t just having a gun by the door

Bottom line… think of your hiearchy of needs that all of us humans have… we need and pretty much in this order:

1) Air
2) Water and Food
3) Shelter from the elements

I know many people are trying  to figure HBO and their IPOD in between numbers 2 and 3 however believe it or not, they come way down the list when you are in a situation where what you most care about is living thru the next day…

 My Own Emergency Preparedness Kits

When I put together my emergency preparedness kits.. yes I said kit(s) as I have more than one… because I have more than one family member who would need an emergency preparedness kit and I may be stuck in a couple of different places where an emergency
preparedness kit would be handy… for example:

1) home
2) car
3) place of work
4) gym locker
5) any other place I frequent often…

For example If I had school age children, they would have a plan for what to do in emergencies as well as a kit… I would have a small kit in their lockers at school so they could get to it and they would know, who to listen to and what to do in a variety of situations.

Emergency preparedness is more than matches and a can of soup, it is also the pre-planning of what you will do to be the safest and most comfortable in an emergency situation.

What Should I have to Feel I Have Reached Emergency Preparedness?

Emergency preparedness means that if you are faced with an emergency, that you are prepared to survive to what ever level of comfort you have planned for before the emergency arrived.

Meaning, do you have food and water, shelter and dry clothes?  Communications and a medical kit?  Spare toothbrush and toilet paper?

Do you think emergency preparedness would call for you having any of those items if you needed them and were no longer in a position to get them easily during or after an emergency?

And the better we can teach you to prepare: for that and be ready for that, the better you will do and the more you will be in position to be of help to those around you.

No one likes thinking about living thru a disaster, and it’s not much fun to think of emergency preparedness… but it gets much more enjoyable when you have clean water to drink when the water is off… when you have a clean up kit and a med kit when a family member or yourself is injured…

So consider creating a kit and a plan for your family as emergency preparedness can not only make you more comfortable which is a pretty good thing but it can save your lives…

It is time to have a plan.. once a disaster or emergency is upon you, it is too late to make an emergency preparedness plan for yourself and loved ones.

Was The Norway Terrorist Attack Real?

 

As we teach you prepare for a variety of events so that you can be safer and you can teach your family to be safer, I would like to introduce some of you to a new thought process…

That sometimes we are maniuplated and are told things that are not true in order to
get us to react certain ways.

There is a term called “False Flag” which means that situations are manufactured
or created so that they can be reported and thus get people to react to them.

There are documented times in our history here in the US where huge events have
been staged in order to shape public opinion.

If you believe this you can then believe that you would be well served if you knew
it was happening.

And if it is happening, and if you know it is happening, you can not be herded like
cattle into the direction that the people who want to herd you, want you to go which
is probably not in your best interest to end up.

I would like you to have a look at a video and then give us your thoughts on what you
see in it.

 

This type of commentary will be included here on occasion, however this blog will
strongly focus on prepping for all topics.. tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fires, etc.,
I just believe it is important to include information that many of our readers will consider
weird…. because I want to introduce you to to further bring you information on topics
that may become relevant to your life very quickly…

So if we are not crazy and it is smart to be prepared…

So if we are not crazy and it is smart to be prepared…

Let’s talk about preparing and perhaps where we might want to start… and I know!  Let’s
start with water!

What do we do?  Then what do we do first? Then who do we get our information from and who can we trust?  Then how do we afford to do anything more than what we already are doing to live our daily lives?

And invest before the bottom falls our of our economy? Are you kidding? Some people do have stocks and bonds and treasury bills….  oh for those of you that are thinking, “I do”…
GET RID OF THEM AND GET YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE SAFE!!!

What? Where is safe? Every expert says something different than the expert before them
it seems…

There is a psychological truth that people that have not had some big bad thing happen to them, tend to believe it can not happen to them…

So what do we have now?  We don’t know what to do, we don’t know who to trust, and we are not entirely sure that anything is going to happen anyway…. I mean shoot look at much of the news, they are still asking if we are going to hit a double dip in our “recession”…

And our president goes from saying, the troops are not going to get a pay check, old people will not get a social security check back to saying hey… it’s ok just a bit slower
than we thought it might be…

Ok, If I’ve described some of the angst that we all go thru, how about some answers?

I believe that there are wonderful sources to find information for yourself… of course
one of the best is the Encer Agency, Family Safe website.. right?  <grin>…

I do know of it’s quality because I made it and am growing it, true and tall with some very smart people!

I can’t wait to get back to Dallas and to do three more video presentations for you guys!

I have some other stuff coming that will blow you right out of the water, I can and do
promise you that!

So let’s just look at ONE thing today ok?

We’ll get a little bite sized piece and not overwhelm on this stuff…

Number One… hierarchy of needs.

Humans need, air, water, food, shelter and then all the other stuff like cable tv and  a fast Internet connection… and so forth…

Let’s go for the first thing first… I’ll share two methods with you, the least expensive and
a more costly one…

You and I will always want water so….

CHEAPY WAY: 1 bottle of laundry bleach…  and start saving your 2 liter bottles of pop.  Start filling up your pop bottles and storing a few of them so that if something happens and your “Magic” faucets in your home don’t bring forth water.. you will have some!

What’s the bleach for? Bleach can help you disenfect water you would not do well drinking to having water that is suitable for you and those around you...

We’re going to talk about filters, the ones you can make out of 5 gallon buckets to the ones
you carry in your pocket…. to the ones you can make with the same 2 liter pop bottles with
clean sand…

First let me say, I KNOW you are getting your pop bottles  from your neighbors because you have made the decision not to drink harmful chemicals from the super corporations
with horrible deadly ingredients like coke, pepsi, diet anything, 7up… or any of them!

Right?

Ok now.. a bit more costly but pretty cool.. go to google and type in water containers and you will find about a zillion companies that will sell you water containers so that you can store water.

Why store?  because many charts say we all need about one gallon a day of water, but think a moment… most Americans are using 20-50 gallons a day easily… bathing, flushing
brushing, washing clothes, and we haven’t even gotten to the drinking part yet!

We’ll teach you about rotation  of water to keep if fresh, about getting more from rain, and
other sources but today… go get yourself some 2 liter pop bottles and wash them and fill
them with water and put them in the bottom of your closet…

but don’t tell anyone because remember, preppers are crazy!  :- )

Let me know what you think, or what you know or what every you’ve got on this topic ok?

CU,

Are Preppers All Crazy People?

Are people who prepare for disasters crazy or what?  If you listen to main stream news you will certainly believe so.

Should we be the extreme preppers as shown on Mainstream TV or can we be smart by getting a flashlight, some water and some food and dry clothing in a bag ready to grab?

It’s a question isn’t it?  You have questions.. we have answers…

Pretty much what I hear on most news channels are people who are wondering if we are going to experience some kind of double dip recession…

Really? Hmmm……    checked your house value lately? Did you think no one saw the housing market crash coming?  Did they tell you it was coming?  No Bernake got on National Television and said we were absolutely strong and it could not happen…

Want some of the real story?  here’s something to think about.

Or your grocery bill? You better look at this.

or looked at your  401K retirement account balance?  Do you even have a 401K, or are you trying to have a today K?

I’m wondering if the people caught in the Super dome and held there against their will by soldiers while they lived in there own bowel movements, and had no water while they sat and baked in unbearable heat while murders and robberies around them went totally unchecked…   don’t believe me… just watch this video… about 2-3 minutes into it you
will go crazy…

Oh and by the way, if you think Americans have the right to keep and bear arms  in order to protect themselves against rape, robbery or home invasion, please watch this video as police seized weapons as gangs then followed them around so they
had easy picking with their newly unarmed victims…

Would you like to think about fires, terrorists attack, economic collapse, home invasion, food shortages, EMP, civil unrest, crime, tornadoes, floods….

It seems to me that it is wise to have a thoughtful examination of what is happening in the world, and then decide the likelihood of them occurring to us and then creating a plan if we think any of these things can happen so that we can make it thru them.

Frankly… the reason I have brought and am bringing in more of the most powerful and knowledgeable people in the world together to teach us what to do, how to plan and how to make it thru is because, I don’t believe these things might happen…

I believe they already are happening!

The Family Safe program was created to help people thru emergencies and disasters and we are growing, our community is gaining new members who want to learn and to contribute…
