On October 4th, FEMA plans to test the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts, sending a message to virtually every cellphone, TV, and radio in the United States. While we are 100% on board with being prepared, with D.C’s track record, one has to wonder if this is really about public safety. In fact, the latest test has many asking if this is just another attempt to control, invade of privacy, and dominate every aspect of our lives.
The test message will be sent to your phone as long as it’s switched on and within range of an active cell tower. That’s right; you don’t even have the choice to opt-out. FEMA proudly announced that the message will come in either English or Spanish, depending on your phone’s language settings, and will be accompanied by a “unique tone and vibration.” Now, the government is not only invading our digital space but also making sure we can’t ignore their unwelcome interruption.
The one-minute test will also take over your TVs and radios with an alert sound, followed by the message: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System.”
As you might expect, the government spin on this is all about preparedness. They claim it’s about ensuring the “readiness of the emergency alert infrastructure” and ensuring they can reach us all in times of crisis. But we’ve heard these assurances before, and if history is any guide, the government’s real agenda is usually not so straightforward.
Is this test truly about public safety, or is it another attempt by the federal government to instill fear and anxiety in Americans? One can’t help but wonder if this nationwide alert is a precursor to another round of economy-killing COVID lockdowns or election season chaos. It’s hardly a stretch to imagine, given the lengths to which the government has gone to control the narrative and manipulate the public.
After the disaster in Maui and how COVID was used as a pretext to obliterate our economy and erode our civil liberties, should we trust the government to flood our personal devices with “emergency” messages? It’s almost laughable to think that the same government that failed so miserably in these other disasters now wants us to believe it is acting in our best interest.
Preparing for emergencies is essential, but the government is the last group we should rely on for that. Their track record proves that it rarely benefits people when they get involved. Instead, it often bolsters their power at the expense of our freedoms.
As we have said for years, and after we reminded the public after the failed response in Maui – YOU ARE YOUR OWN FIRST RESPONDER!!! If you’re waiting on the government to save you, you’re waiting on a death sentence!
We get a lot of questions about what type of gear we keep in our bug out bags. So we wanted to share one of our latest budget-conscious builds with out readers. The latest OFFGRID Survival Budget Bug Out Bag is made up of gear that we have personally used and recommend for those who are putting together a bugout bag on a budget.
The Falko Tactical Backpack is obviously a knock-off, but tfor those looking for a budget bag this is one of the best we found at this price point — in fact, it’s about a quarter of the price of similar bags from brands like 5.11.
For our shelter, we choose a budget tarp tent for emergency situations where we may need to make a quick improvised shelter to keep us protected from bad weather or the sun. For information on how to use a tarp tent, check out our article on light-hiking tarp setups.
The Bambaw 32 oz Water Bottle is a single wall stainless steal bottle that can be used to both carry water and sterilize water out in the wilderness. Single Wall Stainless steal bottles can be thrown over a campfire to purify water and is something that should be in any good bugout bag. This is a knock-off version of the Klean Kanteen and is about half the price.
The Morakniv Companion Sandvik Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife may be a budget knife, but this thing more than stacks up to knives selling for 10x what this sells for. In fact, I carry quite a few of these as everything from my go-to EDC to my main knife in my fishing bags.
The Baofeng UV-5R is about as budget friendly as it gets when it comes to ham radio and emergency communication gear. While we love our Yaesu radios, you can literally buy 10 of these for the same price as 1 Yaesu.
This is another one of those important backup items I like to keep in my bags. The Stainless steel water bottles are great, but there are times where you may not be able to start a fire and these are great on the go!
This is another one of those bulk buys that we purchase and then split it up between our bags. From hunting and fishing uses to building survival shelters and first aid, Paracord is an important multi-purpose item that every bag should have!
In the end, it really doesn’t matter what gear you pack if you haven’t obtained the knowledge you need to use it and survive! So please, don’t jut pack the bag and forget it, thinking you have everything you need when the shit hits the fan!
Take the time to consider where to go, what to take, how to survive during crisis situations, and why bug out bags are a crucial part of your plan. Here are some articles that can help.
DISCLAIMER – I never advocate doing anything illegal and always try to stay within the legal limits of the law. This article is for informational and research purposes only and is to not be taken as advice of any kind – the Reader accepts all responsibility for trying/attempting anything read here.
Since the advent of the National Weather Service (NWS) there is no excuse for being blind-sided by a hurricane because they start giving advisories many days in advance of any storm approaching anywhere near US coastlines beginning from the mundane, “Hey guys, there’s a storm possibly headed our way.” to the more serious, “Stock up and/or get out!” all the way to, “You should have left yesterday. Good luck.” However, as in Hurricane Katrina, due to ignorance, arrogance, personal negligence, entitlement/privilege, or some other un-stated BS reason, some groups didn’t heed the warnings and paid the price – some with their lives. There are two last resort and rarely discussed evacuation sources, however both are very illegal: the Railroad and Intracoastal Waterway.
Railroads crisscross our country and have their own police force but still fall under the jurisdiction of state and federal laws, not to mention Homeland Security in some areas. On maps the railroads are marked by dashed lines (see below).
If forced to bug out on foot, I would attempt to find a railroad with a train on a side track and wait if it’s safe. A side track is where one train will pull off the main line, stop, and let a faster or more important train pass – it’s much safer to climb on a train that is stopped than one rolling down the tracks. Most of the railroads in the south are built on berms and are above the surrounding countryside giving some small protection from flood waters. A lot of the railroads travel near major highways and are fairly easy to find – they are even shown on most roadmaps.
The railroads don’t use cabooses any longer so finding a good spot to ride is more difficult. Finding an unlocked idling engine might be a good choice as long as you don’t tamper with the controls. A side benefit is if the engine is idling, you have a fantastic source to charge your phone and other devices, use the onboard heaters, fans, A/C if available), etc. while out of the harsh elements. The problem begins when the crew returns and finds you in the engine compartment; maybe they’ll be sympathetic to your survival plight if you didn’t damage anything (totally their choice here but realize if caught, you may be held and face charges for trespassing but at least you survived the storm alive. Boxcars are usually locked and if lucky to find an open one you need to be sure no one can secure or lock you inside, plus you need to be on alert for others on the move. Flatcars and tank cars are not a good choice because they are no very few places on them to offer protection from the weather and also be out of sight. The ends of Hopper cars appear to be the best choice for a concealed and weather free ride.
Advice if hopping a train: be forewarned it’s against the law to hop any train and you can be arrested and charged with multiple state and federal criminal offences – if you do it’s at your own risk, stay away from others, don’t start a fire on any type of rail car, stay as hidden and packed as possible in case you have to move out quickly, try to get on the train when it’s stopped, don’t argue and fight with the railroad crews if they catch you; politeness might buy you a continued ride where rudeness will surely get you kicked off the train and possibly arrested, be aware some railroad police are armed and well-trained. (NOTE: If I’m telling you this information as an on-looker be advised RR police will probably know it and much more.)
The Intracoastal Waterway is a mostly inland east-west water route across the Gulf of Mexico.
Catching a fishing boat or a tug and barge out of the area is possible but demands extreme caution. Boat Captains and their crews are a notoriously close-knit group; we know as we’ve investigated both for and against them. These are the men and women that the sheriff calls when a search and rescue or search and recovery needs to be conducted due to their experience on the area waterways. Stowing away is against the law and you can be arrested and charged with multiple state and federal criminal offences. Most are nothing but nice but many of them live and work in the marsh and swamps and know how to cook and eat stuff that will eat you. If they like you, you’ve got friends for life. If you’re nosing around be very careful and don’t ever think you “fit in” or that they don’t know you’re an outsider. The Cajuns and other residents of the coastal areas are a very tight knit group that like to stay out of each other’s business and that’s the way they keep it. It’s best to let them learn to “like” you instead of forcing friendship and being all “faux-friendly.” And don’t forget you’re going to need mosquito spray. Lots of it.
There are many different types of boats in southern waterways and on the Intracoastal Waterway. The hard part is getting on a boat (tug, barge, etc.) and staying there undetected and would not be worth the effort if caught. Bear in mind, the Intracoastal Waterway is through mostly marsh, swamps, gators, and other things that can eat you or at minimum hinder your progress if thrown off the boat – you’ve been warned to be nice. Boats range in size from small fishing boats to large party/house boats, offshore rig supply boats, tugs and barges.
Always treat a man’s boat as his home because it is part-time. Never enter onto a man’s boat uninvited or unannounced. Always ask for and wait for permission. There are much bigger ships but there under the supervision of the US Navy, Coast Guard, Homeland Security, and other US government agencies so I’d avoid them at all costs if you wish to remain a free man.
We’ve installed Uniden scanners in the truck and used handhelds when on foot for many years. The railroad and maritime frequencies have always provided entertainment and information. We’re retired and no longer work in the coastal areas but do visit there occasionally. While we’re there if a storm is forecast for the area, believe me we’re topping off the fuel tanks, replenishing any supplies we’ve used, and heading out to the Village of Elsewhere well before the evacuation traffic, food, and fuel rationing begin.
Jim Jones
Editors Note: As Jim has noted multiple times, the article is theoretical and not something we advise doing do to legal and safety concerns. That being said, we do like the idea of using old rail lines as bugout routes out of town — in fact, many of the nation’s old railroad tracks can legally be used for hiking (or bugging out during an emergency). A great resource for this is the maps and books by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.
Also, If you do live near one of these waterways a good fishing kayak or emergency boat may be something you want to think about adding to your bugout planning and gear.
Is this really where we’re headed? A national emergency for climate change? It’s become abundantly clear that the Biden administration is now considering COVID-style lockdowns with the idea of exploiting weather conditions as a pretext for exerting more control over the American people.
During a recent CNN interview, John Kirby suggested President Biden treats the supposed climate crisis with “all the due gravity and seriousness.” What does that even mean? Is it another clever way to prepare the masses for yet another assault on our freedoms, this time under the guise of “climate emergencies”?
On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that President Joe Biden hasn’t decided whether he’ll declare a national emergency on climate and that “all the severe storms” that “we continue to see are definitely caused as a result of what’s going on in the rising temperature across the globe.”
Kirby said, “The President hasn’t decided yet on declaring a national emergency on climate, Poppy. But he’s treating this with all the due gravity and the seriousness that the climate crisis deserves. It’s been a focus for him since day one.”
He added, “I don’t want to get ahead of the President or his decision-making here. All I can tell you is that, as an administration, we’re going to stay focused on the climate crisis. It is front and center. It is right in front of us. And these wildfires and all the severe storms that we’re — that we continue to see are definitely caused as a result of what’s going on in the rising temperature across the globe. And so, we’ve got to treat this seriously.”
As we reported earlier in the year, The White House was already hard at work trying to figure out how they could use the climate as the next tool of fear to enact control. In fact, back in January The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission kicked off the strategy with an attempt to ban gas stoves, claiming they were damaging the climate.
This is beyond insane, but frankly not shocking, to see the White House laying down the groundwork to declare that ALL severe storms are a result from global warming. This statement blatantly disregards the fact that extreme weather conditions have been part of Earth’s natural history. By attributing every severe storm to human activity, the Biden administration is setting up a story that will now be used to enact further control over the people.
In fact, we’ve seen these tactics before, and it’s looking a whole lot like what they pulled in the leadup to the COVID shutdowns and lockdowns.
The blaming of human activity for every single disaster, natural or otherwise, allows politicians to draft “emergency” policies, enforce ridiculous business killing regulations, and push a political agenda that suits them, regardless of scientific validity or common sense. And what about those who disagree with the latest scam? They are labeled “climate deniers,” which dismisses any attempt at a balanced and reasoned debate. Dissenters are sidelined and ridiculed for daring to question the religion of the climate change movement.
Consider what a a national emergency on climate would look like.
It would yet again empower the government to take sweeping actions similar to what we witnessed during the “COVID emergencies”, killing individual liberties, severely damaging businesses, and exerting even more control over the everyday lives of Americans. Kirby’s suggestion that the White House might declare a national emergency on climate should raise red flags for every freedom-loving American.
The climate has always been changing, and it always will. That’s not a crisis; it’s a reality. What’s truly alarming is the deliberate manipulation of science and the outright attack on our freedoms in the name of a political agenda.
According to a shocking survey, the typical American household spent $709 more in July than they did just two years ago to buy the same goods and services. This figure, coming from Moody’s Analytics, is a painful reminder of the financial struggle that families are enduring across our country. But it’s not about mere numbers; it’s about shattered dreams, broken budgets, and the grim reality that the cost of living is spiraling out of control under the current administration. The inflationary nightmare we’re witnessing is a manufactured disaster severely affecting millions of Americans’ survival and everyday life.
The catastrophic reality playing out across the American economy is not an accident. It’s a direct result of the COVID-era nightmare and reckless decision-making of the Biden administration. Couple with that with the latest push to use climate change as the next excuse for lockdowns and economic killing policies, and you have a disaster that is only getting started.
“High inflation of the past 2+ years has done lots of economic damage,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, wrote in a post on X. Most of that increase in spending is driven by housing costs, which have surged, Zandi told CNN in an email on Friday.
Mark Zandi’s warning about the “economic damage” inflicted by rampant inflation over the past two years isn’t just another “expert opinion.” It’s the sad reality that is being ignored by those in power. The economy is worse off than it was five years ago. In fact, according to a brand new Reuters/Ipsos survey that was just released, 73 percent of all Americans believe that the economy is in worse condition than it was five years ago.
Homelessness has been a persistent problem in the U.S. for decades, but it has reached a new level since the end of the COVID lockdowns as our country plunges forward into the economic abyss.
But the media says Bidennomics is working!
Well let’s talk about the deceitful inflation numbers. A 3.2 percent annual rate? Who are they trying to fool? We know, and they know, that the real numbers would show inflation well into the double digits if calculated the way it was in 1980.
The American people are suffering. Forty-six percent of our population couldn’t even cover an unexpected $400 bill. Credit card debt has hit the $1 trillion mark. People are draining their retirement accounts to make ends meet. This is not just a troubled economy; it’s an economy in collapse.
The U.S. Government Right Now by the Numbers:
Borrowing Spree Unleashed: $5.2 billion borrowed every single DAY for the next 10 years!
Interest Payments Skyrocketing: On track to pay an eye-watering $1 trillion in just one year!
Tax Revenue Tumbles: A worrying drop of roughly 8% over the last 12 alarming months.
Debt Balance Explodes: A staggering addition of $8 trillion in just 3 short years.
Debt Ceiling “Crisis” Fallout: $1.5 trillion added to the debt balance since the crisis, and it’s not slowing down.
Spending Out of Control: 40% more expenditure in 2023 compared to 2019, and where’s the accountability?
Default Danger Averted, for Now: Nearly defaulted before finally uncapping the debt limit until 2025 – but at what cost?
Future Debt Catastrophe Looms: Debt-to-GDP ratio expected to rise to an unthinkable 225% by 2050 – a time bomb in the making!
The current economic meltdown is more than a warning sign. It’s an alarm bell ringing loudly, and it’s time to wake up and act. The Biden administration’s inaction and the do-nothing Republican morons who enable him seem hellbent on allowing our economy to crash into the ground.
In many ways it is already here. For many families they are already living the nightmare. This economic crisis is not to be taken lightly, it is one of the biggest threats we face. Don’t wait for the mainstream media to tell you how bad it is, take action now to protect yourself and your loved ones. It’s time to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
We advise reading our article on Preparing for an Economic Collapse. We talk about the history of economic collapses, list the steps you need to take, and talk about what will most likely happen when the banking system goes down. You can read the article here.
Be Prepared to Feed Yourself when the Collapse Hits!
The Biden administration’s latest move is more than just an attack on our Second Amendment rights; it’s an attack on our way of life, heritage, and culture. For years the anti-gun crowd has told us, “You don’t need an AR-15 to hunt”, all while proclaiming their support for hunters saying they would never try to ban hunting or hunting firearms.
They have now decided to go after hunting and are starting with the youth of America.
The Biden administration has decided to withhold vital federal funding from schools that offer hunting and archery programs. This decision falls under the guidelines set by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed in the previous year. The Department of Education’s interpretation of these laws means that school hunting and archery classes are now ineligible to receive federal support, potentially affecting millions of American children participating in these activities.
It’s a punch in the gut to millions of American children and their families – a calculated attack on our rights, traditions, and future.
Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, told Fox News Digital, “It’s a negative for children.” … “In many communities, it’s a shooting sport, and the skills from shooting sports, that help young people grow to be responsible adults. They also benefit from relationships with role models.” And he’s absolutely right. These are programs that help young people grow into responsible adults. They benefit from relationships with role models and learn skills that many communities cherish.
“You’ve got every fish and wildlife agency out there working so hard to utilize every scrap of funding, not only for the safety and hunter education, but for the general understanding of why stewardship is so important when it comes to natural resources,” Floyd continued. “Any guidance where it’s even considered a ‘maybe’ or a prohibition for shooting sports is a huge negative.” “It is ironic that the U.S. Department of Education is actively denying young Americans the chance to educate themselves on basic firearm and hunting safety so that they can go afield knowing how to keep themselves, their friends, and family safe,” Ben Cassidy, executive vice president for international government and public affairs at Safari Club International (SCI), told Fox News Digital.
In addition, the National Shooting Sports Foundation blasted the Education Department’s interpretation of the BSCA, saying it was part of the administration’s attacks on the Second Amendment.
In an article on the NSSF blog, Larry Keane wrote, “When repeatedly attacking the Second Amendment, gun owners and the firearm industry, the president constantly tries to assuage those skeptical of claims – “this isn’t about hunting,” “you don’t need that to hunt deer,” “I own shotguns.” The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting at all, but the president’s recent decision reveals his contempt for lawful and safe gun ownership. It’s an attack on hunting and a calculated backdoor attack on gun rights and ownership.”
The Biden administration’s justification for withholding the funds, claiming it’s based on a straightforward interpretation of the BSCA, has been met with disapproval and rejection from Congressional lawmakers across both political parties.
“We were alarmed to learn recently that the Department of Education has misinterpreted the BCSA to require the defending of certain longstanding educational and enrichment programs — specifically, archery and hunter education classes — for thousands of children…,” U.S. Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) wrote in a letter to Secretary Cardona. “The Department mistakenly believes that the BSCA precludes funding these enrichment programs. Such an interpretation contradicts congressional intent and the text of the BSCA.”
Sens. Cornyn and Tillis wrote that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act provides $1 billion for such activities under Section 4108 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 – or “activities to support safe and healthy students.” They added, “Critical educational programs like archery and hunter education fall well within this scope to promote student safety and health.” Mental health experts are already warning that blocking the funds and eliminating these programs will contribute to mental health problems for young participants.
As Hawaii’s Maui Island attempts to recover from some of the deadliest fires we have ever seen, a storm of controversy is brewing over the government’s response to the disaster. A picture is emerging of an ill-prepared system that has left residents to fend for themselves, struggling to coordinate the recovery efforts and pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. From a failure to activate warning sirens to allegations of conspiracy to steal land, the government’s actions – or lack thereof – generate outrage and questions about what is really going on.
The situation in Maui is not just a failure of leadership; it is a damning indictment of a system that has lost its way. It’s also a reminder of why we have been telling you for decades that YOU CANNOT COUNT ON THE GOVERNMENT DURING A DISASTER – You are your own First Responder!
The scene in Lahaina is one of complete devastation. A town destroyed, families torn apart, and a community left to fend for itself. The wildfires have taken so much from these residents, and now it seems their own government has abandoned them in their hour of need. Here at OFFGRID Survival, we find this situation infuriating, but sadly not at all surprising.
Let’s start with the first and most deadly failure: the absence of warning sirens. Why were 80 warning sirens never activated? Where was the communication that could have saved lives? These are not just missteps but catastrophic failures that reveal a profoundly broken emergency response system.
Next, There are 11 military bases in Hawaii. The world’s largest fleet command, the U.S. Pacific Fleet, is stationed in Pearl Harbor, just 116 miles from the disaster zone. Yet, residents were forced to flee into the oceans in a desperate attempt to escape the fires, and our largest military bases were nowhere to be found. Instead, residents from other Islands on Jetskis and makeshift rafts went out themselves and desperately tried to save people. Today, there are almost 1,000 still missing; many either burned in the fires or drowned while waiting for help at sea.
Families fled Lahaina into the ocean to survive the Maui fires, as 11 local military bases stood by and did nothing? Over 1,000 still missing!
The problems don’t end there; in fact, they are going on as we speak. The delayed delivery of essential supplies like medication and food is outrageous. People’s lives are at stake, and yet bureaucracy again stands in the way of relief. It’s a sickening display of apathy, demonstrating how far removed our federal agencies have become from the real needs of the American people.
But some native Maui residents claim much more is happening here, claiming a disturbing conspiracy that goes far beyond incompetent government workers. They claim police barricades are blocking charity groups from entering the disaster zone. What twisted logic is at play here? Why would local organizations be told they cannot deliver food and water because they lack “proper licensing” when people are dying? This isn’t incompetence; it’s something much more sinister.
If there is truth to the claim of a conspiracy to defraud Native Maui residents of their lands, this goes from a failure to respond and incompetence to an outright criminal act.
Here are resident’s asking Maui Chief of Police John Pelletier — yes this is the same guy who was the incident commander during the Las Vegas Mass Shooting — Why was water shut off? Why did Police Barricade and block escape routes? Why are you Lying???

YOU are your own first responders! The Role of Local Heroes
Amid tragedy, the real heroes are the people of Maui. Charities, churches, and local groups are stepping up to do what the federal government has failed to do. They are showing the true spirit of Aloha, but as we have shown, even that is now under attack from a system that has gone so far off the rails that it is literally killing people!
This is what happens when you replace people who care, with WOKE morons!

This disaster must serve as a wake-up call. It’s a tragic confirmation of what many of us have been warning about for years: the government will not be there to save you, and they CANNOT handle disaster response. It’s not only time for a complete overhaul of our emergency management system; it’s time the public wakes up and starts preparing themselves to deal with what’s coming.
Once again, the Biden administration is ringing the COVID alarm bells, urging Americans to receive another COVID-19 booster shot. Like clockwork, they are raising fears over newly emerging subvariants “Eris” and “Fornax.” But one can’t help but wonder, how many times will Americans fall for this tactic?
The administration’s push for vaccines and boosters, under the guise of battling a new wave of so-called infections, is nothing but the latest assault on our personal freedoms. Each new variant brings about a new surge in media hysteria, government overreach, and a troubling calls for more restrictions on our freedoms.
With every new wave and variant, the public forgets that people did get sick before COVID and the goalpost shifts further away. Despite past vaccines and boosters proving ineffective in offering protection from the virus, we are told that yet another shot is the solution. How many more will we need? 10, 20, weekly shots — When will this end?
Media’s Role in the Fear Campaign
Media outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The TODAY show are already pushing for Americans to mask up again in response to the new Eris variant. The psychopaths in the mainstream media are all clamoring for renewed restrictions — with some even advocating a return to full lockdowns.
National Geographic published an article titled: “The EG.5 COVID variant is spiking in the U.S. Is it time to mask up?”
The Washington Post advocated, “Vaccines and boosters still should be encouraged, as should safe social practices such as wearing face masks and keeping rooms well ventilated, health experts say.”
The New York Times advised, “As for how to behave in response to this trend, that’s a tricky question. Many experts still recommend wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings, but they know that not everyone will want to do so. If you’re at high risk for serious illness, you might want to mask up at the grocery store and avoid eating indoors at restaurants. Other people might just want to wear a mask at the airport, to avoid getting sick during that big summer vacation.
The Return of the Mandates….
On Monday, Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia announced that it was reinstating its mask mandate for everyone on campus. Around the same time, Syracuse’s Upstate Hospital in upstate New York announced this week: “Effective immediately, mandatory masking is required by all staff, visitors and patients in clinical areas of Upstate University Hospital, Upstate Community Hospital, and ambulatory clinical spaces.”
The New York hospital reinstating its mask mandate is just the tip of the iceberg. The underlying message is clear: COVID fear is back in fashion.
What’s most alarming is the information from whistleblowers within TSA & Border Patrol, as reported by Infowars. According to them, the Biden administration has a plot in motion to unleash a FULL Covid lockdown starting in September, synchronized with the hysteria over these new variants.
BREAKING: Alex Jones says a TSA whistleblower has told him TSA employees were instructed on Tue that masks are coming back by October for travelers & full Covid restrictions/lockdowns by December due to a new “dangerous variant” out of Canada. pic.twitter.com/sw4b2XYuoh
We’ve been here before, and the damage to our country was catastrophic. Small businesses destroyed, mental health crises skyrocketing, and an erosion of our freedoms.
The Pharmaceutical Scam
Meanwhile, Moderna and other big pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer and Novavax, are racing to create new versions of their vaccines aimed at the latest subvariants. With the upcoming fall vaccination season, these updated shots are hailed as the next line of defense against the virus.
But it raises the question: are we in an unending cycle where we are being manipulated by big pharmaceutical companies and government bodies that stand to gain from a continuous state of panic? I think we all know the answer!
This never-ending cycle of alarm bells and restrictions is not just an attack on our freedom but a betrayal of everything this country once stood for. Whether it’s the never-ending push for the next pandemic or trying to convince the world that global warming is going to kill everyone, it’s high time people wake the hell up and start to question the narratives being fed to us and demand that our liberties be respected and upheld.

Since its inception in 1963, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) has driven the automotive specialty-equipment industry. The annual SEMA Show, a trailblazing event that debuted in 1967, remains the industry’s pinnacle, bringing together manufacturers and buyers globally. The spotlight shines on products that enhance cars’ and trucks’ style, functionality, comfort, convenience, and safety.
In a move that screams dystopian déjà vu, institutions nationwide are once again imposing COVID-19 Mask mandates, as rumors swirl that the Federal Government is preparing for COVID mandates and restrictions in late September. From colleges to large corporations, it seems that the pandemic hysteria is far from over, despite years of evidence that these draconian policies only serve to restrict liberties without providing any tangible health or safety benefits.
Rutgers University in New Jersey and Morris Brown College in Georgia have recently issued mask mandates for their campuses, disregarding student choice and calling back useless policies from 2020. Morris Brown College in Atlanta took it a step further, reinstating its mask mandate for two weeks as a so-called “precautionary measure,” restricting event sizes and resuming contact tracing. College president Dr. Kevin James told students: “There will be no parties or large student events on campus for the next two weeks.”
But it doesn’t stop at educational institutions. In California, Lionsgate, the major movie studio, is reinstating an in-office mask mandate at its Santa Monica headquarters. Employees will now be required to perform a self-screening for COVID symptoms daily before reporting to the office.
“The LA County Department of Public Health is requiring Lionsgate employees on the 3rd & 5th floors of our 2700 Colorado Avenue headquarters in Santa Monica to wear masks due to a cluster of COVID cases,” Peter Wilkes, chief communications officer for Lionsgate, told ABC News in an email. “It is the policy of the LA County Department of Health to require masking in workplaces that have a cluster of cases.”
And then you have the paid shills in the healthcare industry. Kaiser Permanente in Northern California has reintroduced a mask mandate at its Santa Rosa hospital and medical offices. This mandate applies to physicians, staff, patients, members, and visitors.
As we reported earlier in the week, a number of government whistleblowers have recently come out claiming that the Biden administration is getting ready to reinstate several COVID-era mandates, including possible mask mandates at government buildings and airports in September. Shortly after the whistleblowers leaked the information, the White House started a public push urging Americans to receive another COVID-19 booster shot.
Back in May we told you this was far from over, as the World Health Organization and Bill Gates feverishly pushed the media to report that the Next Pandemic will be ‘More Deadly’ than COVID in their latest Fear Campaign. What we are witnessing is not a genuine concern for public health but another power grab. These mandates are nothing more than another attempt to exert control over the populace under the guise of safety.
