8 Books For The Resistance!

By Tim Gamble

Here are eight books*, in no particular order, that are very useful in resisting the tyranny that is upon us:

1) Total Resistance - The classic study on resistance & underground operations, by Swiss Major H. von Dach. Often recommended by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness), a former Special Forces officer.  Available on Amazon

2) Resistance Operating Concept (ROC) - Another great resource for resistance and underground operations. Also recommended by both Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness) and Bear of Bear Independent. Available on Amazon.

3) Human Factors Considerations of Undergrounds in Insurgencies: Second Edition - This manual is by the US Army Special Operations Command in 1966, and is focused "on the contemporary threat of Maoist insurgencies, particularly in Southeast Asia, and also draws extensively on World War II resistance movements in Europe. Much of this information is still relevant" in today's situations. Available on Amazon.

4) Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America, by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui (both officers in the Chinese military). This is literally the handbook the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been using in its (so far very successful) cold war against America and the West. Not only does it expose their tactics, but reveals to us pointers we can use against our enemies, be they the CCP or our own Western Elites. Available on Amazon

5) Survivalist Family: Prepared Americans for a Strong America, by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness), is a great guide to beginner and intermediate preparedness and survival for both short-term disasters and long-term emergencies. Preparedness and self-reliance are the foundations upon which any successful resistance must be built. Available on Amazon.  

 6) Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice: An Urgent Appeal to Fellow Christians in a Time of Social Crisis, by Scott David Allen. I bought this book shortly after it came out, and highly to recommend it to others, particularly believers attending churches that seem to be rejecting traditional Biblical values, while embracing social justice concepts (all in the name of love, tolerance, and diversity, of course). Sadly, the liberal "woke" modern church is one of the major problems we need to resist. Available on Amazon.

7) Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, by Rod Dreher.  From the Amazon description page:  The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option (another book I would recommend if this was a longer list) draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. Available on Amazon.

8) The NKJV, American Patriot's Bible, The Word of God and the Shaping of America - Two things being attacked in today's world: Biblical teachings and real history. This study Bible addresses both. One of my favorite translations, the New King James Version is literal, accurate, and easy-to-read for most modern folks. The American Patriot's Bible "shows how the history of the United States connects the people and events of the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible." Lot's of articles and study notes showing the importance of God and the Bible to our nation's founding and subsequent history. Available on Amazon












* I personally have copies of all eight of these books, seven as physical books and one in digital format. There are no "blind" recommendations here.

Perishable Foods For Long-Term Storage

Originally posted on Dystopian Survival on December 1. Discounts at Amazon may have changed.

By Tim Gamble

One of the most often repeated bits of prepper advice, and it is good advice as far as it goes, is to "stock food to the rafters" while you still can. This will help you to provide for yourself and your family in any dark times ahead, as well as provide a hedge against inflation even if we return to good times. 
 
Hopefully, you have already begun developing your "survivalist pantry" with canned and dried foods, which will store for a long time. But some foods are perishable and difficult to store over the long-term. 

These perishable items, such as milk, cheese, butter, and eggs are problematic for long-term storage. Your best bet, if you can't produce these yourself, is powdered, dehydrated or freeze-dried products intended for true long-term storage (a decade or more), but this option an be very expensive. For my money, Augason Farms has the best selection, excellent quality, and are reasonably priced compared to other long-tern food options. In fact, I ordered some more Augason Farms products earlier this week when I saw them on sale at Amazon .

Right now at Amazon, most Augason Farms products are listed as in-stock, and many are on sale at some great prices. Here are a few  examples (as of 2:00 pm EST on December 1, 2023):

Non-Fat Dry Milk = 60% off

Butter Powder = 50% off 

Dried Whole Eggs = Regular price (but it is in stock for now)









Tomato Powder = 33% off


Many other products are also in stock and on sale, Supplies may not last, and prices subject to change at Amazon's whim, so don't drag your feet! 

Full disclosure: I have NO relationship with Augasan Farms other than being a satisfied customer. I am an Amazon affiliate and I do make a very small percentage off of sales made through links to Amazon on this website at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting this website!

Secret Service Discloses More Information About Obama Chef Drowning Death

12-13-2023 (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced yesterday that it received 31 pages of records in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit from the Department of Homeland Security that show the identity of the companion of Obama’s chef Tafari Campbell as a woman named “Ms. Taylor,” who reported that “[Campbell] fell in the water and struggled for a couple of seconds before giving up and sinking underwater.” 

The records also show that the Secret Service could not get the first two boats they tried to use to search for Campbell to function and had to use the groundskeeper’s boat. Also, at least one, and possibly multiple, agents from the Secret Service’s Little Rock, Ark., office were involved in the search for Campbell’s body. 

The records were obtained in response to an October 25, 2023, FOIA lawsuit against the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after it failed to respond to an August request for Secret Service video recordings and other records relating to the death of the Obamas’ personal chef, Tafari Campbell, in July 2023 in the Edgartown Great Pond behind the Obamas’ estate on Martha’s Vineyard 

The records include a July 24 report from a Secret Service agent whose name is redacted that reveals the interview details – including the name – of Campbell’s paddleboarding companion: “Ms. Taylor stated that Mr. Campbell was not wearing a life jacket and had no personal flotation devices aboard the paddleboard at the time of the incident.”  

A separate report notes how Campbell’s companion “collapsed on the ground and stated that Tafari had drowned. She stated that he fell in the water and struggled for a couple of seconds before giving up and sinking underwater.” The agent continued, describing how a supervisory agent and another agent “attempted to start one of the boats but had difficulties lowering the motor. I headed down with [redacted] but told her to continue down and yelled to SA [redacted] and SSA [redacted] that I would run to get the keys for our USSS boat. I sprinted to the CP [Command Post], grabbed the keys and sprinted back towards the boats. A similar issue occurred with the motor on the second boat. We jumped into a third boat belonging to the groundskeeper and it worked without issue.” 

The same report notes former President Obama came to the incident scene and the search was paused so President Obama could speak to the eyewitness: 

We continued our search with flashlights. Shortly thereafter we were called to Wilson’s Landing as FPOTUS Obama was there and the local Fire Department in conjunction with Massachusetts Police Department and other local agencies were setting up an Incident Command Post. He had wanted to talk with [redacted]. The first EMS/Police response we saw may have occurred within an hour. I recall seeing a small PD or Fire boat scanning the shoreline just after it was getting dark.  

“It is disturbing that Secret Service boats did not work for this emergency situation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This new information perhaps explains why the Secret Service is still hiding video related to the tragic drowning.”  

In October, Judicial Watch received 40 pages of records from the Massachusetts State Police that indicate the presence of Barack Obama for a witness interview in the death investigation. The records, which are heavily redacted, indicate Barack Obama arrived at the emergency response scene via motorcade. A short time later, a cold, wet woman, who was a witness, arrived. The next morning, the eyewitness was interviewed in the Obama residence, seemingly with Barack Obama again present. The records also detail the existence of a Secret Service video of Campbell and his paddleboarding companion entering the water, and the Secret Service emergency response in the immediate aftermath of the drowning. The State Police records show they concluded “no foul play” in Campbell’s “accidental” death. 

In August 2023, Judicial Watch released records it received from the Edgarton, Mass., Police Department that show the Secret Service reported Campbell missing and that the body was found using sonar. The records also detail that clothing was found separate from the body and that he was not wearing a life vest.

Federal Court Rules Against Portions of NY Concealed Carry Law

12-8-2023 Washington, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a federal injunction against portions of New York’s poorly named “Concealed Carry Improvement Act.” 

The following provisions on New York’s law are enjoined under this ruling:

  • Requiring applicants to disclose social media accounts for review.
  • The restrictions on carrying on private property that is accessible to the public, as well as the restriction on carrying in houses of worship.

Frustratingly, the Second Circuit failed to faithfully apply Bruen, having left the “good moral character requirement” in place for those seeking a concealed carry permit. Additionally, much of the Court’s opinion reads like a repudiation of Bruen, finding ways to claim its holdings don’t apply here.

Erich Pratt, Gun Owners of America (GOA) Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:     

“Governor Hochul and her cabal in Albany never seem to get the message, and in turn, GOA is proud to have played a major role in rebuking her unconstitutional law. Nevertheless, this was not a total victory, and we will continue the fight until this entire law is sent to the bowels of history where it belongs.”  

Sam Paredes, on behalf of the Board of Directors for the Gun Owners Foundation, added:    

“It’s encouraging that the Court blocked the intrusive social media provisions, but just as intrusive are the processes needed to confirm someone is ‘of good moral character,’ which the Court has inexplicably chosen to uphold. Frustratingly, much of this Court’s opinion reads like an insubordinate rebuke of the Supreme Court, which is a disgrace and cannot be allowed to stand. We are weighing action at the nation’s High Court.”

DHS Conducted ‘Real-Time Narrative Tracking’ to Take Down Social Media Posts During 2020 Election

By Tim Gamble

12-6-2023 (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced yesterday it received 44 pages of records in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that show a close collaboration between DHS’s Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) and the leftist Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to engage in “real-time narrative tracking” on all major social media platforms in the days leading up to the 2020 election.

The records discuss “takedowns” of social media posts and the avoidance of creating public records subject to FOIA.

The records also show that the EIP, which was initially called the Election Misinformation Partnership in the days leading up to the November 3, 2020, election, tasked staffers with monitoring online election content 24 hours a day with a priority being “disinfo that is going viral.”

Judicial Watch obtained the records thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit after DHS failed to respond to its October 5, 2022, request. Judicial Watch is asking for:

All records of communication between the CISA and the EIP. This includes all “tickets” or notifications to the Partnership regarding election-related disinformation on any social media platform. All records regarding the July 9, 2020, meeting between DHS officials and representatives of the EIP. All records of communication between the CISA and the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public and/or Stanford University’s Internet Observatory regarding any of the following: The Election Integrity Partnership The 2020 U.S. election Online misinformation and disinformation Any social media platform The Election Integrity Partnership was created in July 2020, just before the presidential election. According to Just the News:

The consortium is comprised of four member organizations: Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and social media analytics firm Graphika. It set up a concierge-like service in 2020 that allowed federal agencies like CISA and State’s Global Engagement Center to file “tickets” requesting that online story links and social media posts be censored or flagged by Big Tech.

Three liberal groups — the Democratic National Committee, Common Cause and the NAACP — were also empowered like the federal agencies to file tickets seeking censorship of content. A Homeland-funded collaboration, the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, also had access.

The newly obtained records include an undated PowerPoint presentation titled “Election Misinformation Partnership.”

Several pages in the presentation discuss “takedowns,” including:

Example Flow 5: Sourced from Platform 

Days after 11/03, Facebook notifies EMP of an impending takedown of a group of pages exhibiting coordinated inauthentic behavior. Since the election, these pages have consistently pushed a narrative encouraging Americans in key states to call for invalidation of election results. Facebook will take these pages down in one hour, and is already briefing relevant state and local election officials.

***

Notes: Given that information is platform-verified, and Facebook has a direct relationship with local election officials, EMP’s involvement can be smaller with the initial dump. EMP should follow up with election officials and the platform in case either stakeholder wants for further research.

The presentation discusses the avoidance of creating public records subject to FOIA:

Best way to collaborate

What’s the best way to collaborate?

CISA can’t create their own Slack channels, but can participate in others’. Listservs are bad (public records requirements). Jira is fine. CISA has privacy concerns: can’t monitor people’s individual accounts; ensure CISA doesn’t participate in discussions or notes concerning U.S. persons. Setup: SIO will have dedicated Slack, something like Jira or Salesforce (will ask for donation), separate from Stanford and destroyed once over. We’ll intake info by email, but direct people to private forms SIO and CISA have distributed. Info from there will go into queue -> be triaged, assigned SLA. A slide in the presentation titled “Stanford Internet Observatory Calendar” details its monitoring plan: “November: Full Time, Election: 24/7 monitoring in shifts. Heightened monitoring during voting times. Emphasis on voter suppression tactics. Election November 3, 2020. December: Full Time, Post-Election: Full time monitoring continues, but not 24/7. Emphasis on narratives around election legitimacy (EX: mail in ballot theories). Release brief post-mortem.”

A portion of the presentation labeled “Summarized notes” states:

Overview: CISA has limited capabilities to identify, track disinfo narratives + attempts to undermine confidence in elections

SIO does = good partnership Major goal: prevent a crisis of confidence in 2020 elections E.g., where Russia doesn’t change any votes (or changes just a few), but claims they changed many more and hysteria is blown out of proportion Scope: Keep scope narrow: focus on election-related disinfo that has the potential to impact the public’s voting patterns

Partnerships and Relationships SIO [Stanford Internet Observatory] would be the coordinators, working w/ Graphika [https://graphika.com], DFRLab [Digital Forensic Research Lab], and [redacted’s] team at UW [University of Washington].

Mutual trust is key: don’t want to need NDAs, legal red tape. Need to build out workflow management system: JIRA/Slack/other communications channels, shared processes and definitions, etc. [Redacted] envisions Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners: Tier 1 is intake (of tips, disinfo reports, etc.): consisting of people either digging for narratives, or processing info received from other partners. Think students, election officials, etc. who are looking for disinfo. Workflow: check that info against protocols, do some initial data aggregation, triage it into the workflow management system. o Tier 2 is the 4 orgs [redacted] I team at Stanford, Graphika, etc.

Workflow: take stuff off the workflow management queue, process it. Need to sketch that out. SLA for different times of the calendar based on the level of severity obtained by triage. E.g., a report from the general public will have less priority than a report from an on-the-ground election official; a report for disinfo that is not popular will have less priority than disinfo that is going viral.

General public = more turnaround time, but election officials = less turnaround time: need to get back to them fast.

SIO has good relationship w/ platforms who already care. See the Secondary Infektion (Russian disinfo op) report. Think through all the platforms that might have been useful there (e.g.,

communicating with Twitter at stage x would have stopped the spread).

Meanwhile, CISA has strong relationships w/ election officials. CISA is happy to introduce SIO to them, do outreach. Just keep CISA in the info-sharing pipeline. ***

CISA’s concern starts 45 days out operationally, when military/overseas voters start mailing.

Start hunting, messaging at beginning of September. Lower SLA (higher turnaround time/less priority), but start looking for search terms and taking tips. The days leading up to/right after Election Day will be much more intense. It’ll be an effective SOC, maybe a physical one, but in a much larger space. A July 10, 2020, email sent from a redacted sender to CISA officials Allison Snell, Brian Scully, Matthew Masterson, Geoffrey Hale, and several other persons whose names are redacted, states:

July will be big to get things going on both the CISA and SIO front, so we will be sure to keep open lines of communication. Thank you again for everyone’s help in getting this going, looking forward to getting to work here!

Action Items:

CISA (@ who I will be reaching out to).

El-ISAC [https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/groups/join-ei-isac] connection: introduction to (redacted) heading social media reporting (@Masterson, Matthew) CFI plug-in: discussions how to best integrate reporting into CISA/CFI’s ops center and send tips back to SIO (@Scully, Brian). Legal: get an initial proposal for OCC (@ Snel, Allison).” The presentation includes a slide regarding the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO):

The Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) is a cross-disciplinary program of research, teaching, and policy engagement for the study and abuse in current information technologies, with a focus on social media.

Key capabilities:

Experienced disinformation research team of analytical and technical talent. Real-time narrative tracking capabilities for all major platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, potential for TikTok). Additional API or historical access to ‘fringe’ platforms (Gab, Parler, 4Chan). Established and collaborative node within the third-party misinformation research ecosystem.” The presentation gives an example of a scenario the CISA-EIP collaborators could be faced with:

Example Flow 3: Stickier [formatting in original]

#BidenStoleMichigan is trending on Twitter on election day. Groups of seemingly-local accounts tweet @MISecofState to demand the Michigan election results be declared invalid, citing a fresh Epoch Times article alleging shady connections between Michigan’s SoS, Bill Gates, and Joe Biden. Their tweets are relatively few, but see high engagement shortly after posting and spread around right-leaning Twitter. Researchers trace the origin of the article to posts on 4chan and Parler encouraging Michiganders to confront @MlSecOfState on Twitter over the story and calling for the Michigan results to be declared invalid.

***

Notes: This scenario has a geographical component, but seems targeted to ideological groups online. While particular election officials are targeted, the political nature of the content makes counter-messaging difficult. A government-only response would be even stickier however.

In a June 26, 2023 report, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government writes about CISA:

Founded in 2018, CISA was originally intended to be an ancillary agency designed to protect “critical infrastructure” and guard against cybersecurity threats. In the years since its creation, however, CISA metastasized into the nerve center of the federal government’s domestic surveillance and censorship operations on social media. By 2020, CISA routinely reported social media posts that allegedly spread “disinformation” to social media platforms. By 2021, CISA had a formal “Mis-, Dis-, and Malinformation” (MDM) team. In 2022 and 2023, in response to growing public and private criticism of CISA’s unconstitutional behavior, CISA attempted to camouflage its activities, duplicitously claiming it serves a purely “informational” role.

“These records show the lengths to which a ‘Homeland Security’ Deep State agency went in its effort to censor and suppress Americans during and after the 2020 election,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “That it took a federal lawsuit to extract these disturbing records should raise additional worries about what else this Biden administration is up to.”

 Separately, in August 2023, Judicial Watch filed two FOIA lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies for communications between the agencies and Facebook and Twitter regarding the government’s involvement in content moderation and censorship on the social media platforms.

In June 2023, Judicial Watch sued DHS for all records of communications tied to the Election Integrity Partnership. Based on representations from the EIP (see here and here), the federal government, social media companies, the EIP, the Center for Internet Security (a non-profit organization funded partly by DHS and the Defense Department) and numerous other leftist groups communicated privately via the Jira software platform developed by Atlassian.

In February 2023, Judicial Watch sued the U.S. Department Homeland Security (DHS) for records showing cooperation between the Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) and social media platforms to censor and suppress free speech.

Judicial Watch in January 2023 sued the DOJ for records of communications between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and social media sites regarding foreign influence in elections, as well as the Hunter Biden laptop story.

In September 2022, Judicial Watch sued the Secretary of State of the State of California for having YouTube censor a Judicial Watch election integrity video.

In May 2022, YouTube censored a Judicial Watch video about Biden corruption and election integrity issues in the 2020 election. The video, titled “Impeach? Biden Corruption Threatens National Security,” was falsely determined to be “election misinformation” and removed by YouTube, and Judicial Watch’s YouTube account was suspended for a week. The video featured an interview of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. Judicial Watch continues to post its video content on its Rumble channel (https://rumble.com/vz7aof-fitton-impeach-biden-corruption-threatens-national-security.html).

In July 2021, Judicial Watch uncovered records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which revealed that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the COVID narrative and “misinformation” and that over $3.5 million in free advertising given to the CDC by social media companies.

In May 2021, Judicial Watch revealed documents showing that Iowa state officials pressured social media companies Twitter and Facebook to censor posts about the 2020 election.

In April 2021, Judicial Watch published documents revealing how California state officials pressured social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Google (YouTube)) to censor posts about the 2020 election.

20 Years!!!!

By Tim Gamble

The year is 2003. The month is December. Twenty years ago. 

The importance of that date? I wrote my very first prepper-related article, posted to a blogging platform that no longer exists. 

Twenty years writing on issues related to preparedness, survival, homesteading, politics, economics, and current affairs. It has been an interesting ride, to say the least.

Since that very first article on my very first blog, I've written at least 2,000 articles (probably a lot more), published to 3 blogs and 2 websites. I was also the owner / moderator of the very successful Yahoo Group, Surviving the End, for those who remember that group. 

Well over 1,000 of those articles are still available on www.TimGamble.com and www.DystopianSurvival.com

More articles will appear on both of those websites, as I have to plans to "retire" from the Internet anytime soon. Please join me for what the future holds in store.
