Survival Basics

With famine on the horizon and the End Times finale only a few years away, the people of Earth are increasingly faced with the pending necessity of being self-sufficient. What does this mean? To feed oneself and one’s family the first step is to establish a garden. The fallback is to eat what Nature provides, to forage. To keep the lights on when the grid is down will require a windmill or watermill or solar panels or even a bike gen apparatus. If in a flood zone building a community houseboat cluster is the answer. All these things are possible.

Famine in a rural area might be addressed by converting grazing land for cattle into gardens growing food for people. Complete nutrition can be secured from a vegetarian diet high in Lysine. Suburban families can convert their lawns, and in the city container gardening on porches can be used. Saving seed is paramount. Seed from Corn and Beans and Melons are relatively easy – just let the seed mature and dry - biennial plants like Cabbage or Carrots require a root cellar and a Winter’s nap. Cuttings from Potatoes or Cloning are other propagation techniques.

There is a learning curve, so one must simply start, as Juan and Linda in Michigan did. The first challenge they faced was keeping the chickens and ducks from eating the seedlings. Next trellises to hoist climber plants to the sunlight and starter pots to keep the frequent rainwater from drowning seedlings. This ambitious couple, who started the ZetaTalk Followers forums, plans on growing a plethora of plants. Seed may be in such demand that this may be the last year when starting such a garden is possible. So grow your own seed!

List of plants: potatoes, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin, melons, watermelons. Lots of peppers: hot serranos, banana, green and red, cayenne, and jalapeno. Perennial asparagus, strawberries. Various types of tomatoes. All sorts of herbs we normally use: cilantro, basil, dill, sage, mustard horseradish. Propagating wild blackberries, sweet potatoes, lots of sunflowers. We will have an overabundance of tomatoes and peppers, what we don't eat will be canned and preserved for Winter use, remainder will be shared with neighbors, chicken and ducks. Our neighbors are growing corn, we'll trade with them. Anything we buy regularly is being planted, carrots and celery, too.

As Karen of the Pole Shift ning says, Plunge Right In! Soil is often hard packed and must be prepped. It can be passed through a screen and mulch and manure added. Urine has nitrates and is a fertilizer. How big should your garden be? The Morning Chores site says a 1 Acre Farm will do.

The rewarding and healthful lifestyle of small-scale farming can be yours on as little as one acre of land. The key to success is not size. Your 1-acre farm will flourish. We live on 2 acres and have an orchard, large garden, berry patches, grape vines, an herb garden, and livestock. We haven’t even come close to utilizing all of our land yet.

Growing power is an example. Growing Power was born in Milwaukee in 1993, and the operation became a role model in many cities, growing fresh fruits and vegetables for sale and consumption.  Raising chickens and even goats in cities or suburbs is doable, and one can feed them vegetable scraps and weeds or let the chickens free range for bugs. Goats will eat anything and provide excellent milk. All these activities have a learning curve so don’t delay! Get started now!

Growing Power in Detroit is one of the most famous examples of urban permaculture in the U.S. and produces 87,000 pounds of food every year (including fish, honey, eggs and milk) on less than 2 acres in the heart of Detroit!

If frustrated by a lack of outdoor space or inhospitable climate, consider a hydroponic garden. I, Nancy, had one in my basement and can assure you, it was growing and blooming! With adequate sunlight from a window or through greenhouse glass, electricity is not needed, though full spectrum light is best. Gravity hydroponics requires that a person hoist a pail of water once a day or so. Wood ash can counter any acidic acid buildup. You will need to use commercial hydroponic nutrient solution or have worm beds to make your own.

As part of the Troubled Times nonprofit ventures, we did an experiment to learn how effective a worm water hydroponic nutrient solution could be. Vital Earth in Australia produced this liquid fertilizer for sale, and advised us. Leaf for leaf the worm water was as effective as a commercial hydroponic nutrient solution. The nutrients produced in the fish tank could not compete.

The earthworm beds are easy to build and maintain, and the compost becomes a highly fertile soil additive! Plus earthworms are 82% protein with Omega 3 as their essential oil. Best worms to secure are the Red Wigglers. One can still buy them via the Internet and get them shipped in a bag. Don’t delay! Compost to feed a worm bed can be from kitchen cuttings or even lawn mowing. Animal meat or fats should not be used. Remember to remove the excess egg casts as they signal the earthworms to stop reproducing. The egg casts themselves are also excellent fertilizer.


The alternative to gardens and flocks and herds is gathering what Nature provides. Wildlife such as deer is likely to be hunted almost to extinction by hungry hunters, but by eating lysine rich vegetables and fish a complete diet can be garnered. Duckweed is 45% protein compared to soy which is 36% protein. For protein, the obvious solution is to eat bugs and worms. No need to worry about the Vitamin bottle going empty or losing your teeth to scurvy, as the bugs and weeds in Nature provide all you need.



 
Self-sufficiency includes being off the grid. Options for producing electricity on your own include an array of Solar Panels or Wind or Watermills or a bike generator. Windmills can be made from scrap, as this 14 year old boy in Africa has demonstrated. And a bike generator likewise can be made from a discarded bike. Watermills can be placed in rivers or streams or even in a downspout to make electricity from rain. All one needs is an alternator, which can be found in any car and many appliances such as lawn mowers.


If living in a flood plain and unable to resettle on high ground, you should anticipate forming a houseboat community or living in pole homes above the tides. Fishing will be readily available, and with a houseboat community if the sea level rises, you can just move with the tides. Container gardening, such as tomato plants on the boat will augment the fish and seaweed and duck weed diet. Distill your drinking water and remember that trash can be a treasure and little things can prove to be basic necessities.

Global Stretch Zone

The Russian Rip, which suddenly burst into the news earlier this year, is not the only stretch zone becoming active. Inland lakes are being formed along this route. The Rift Valley in Africa shows what happens to a stretch zone. Lakes form.  Meanwhile the Mainland Portion of N America is dropping heavily on Mexico, while the heaving land has caused alarm in Yellowstone. This moving rock strata simultaneously released enough methane to kill thousands of cows.

Kazakhstan – Houses Destroyed After Landslide in Almaty Region

Disaster authorities in Kazakhstan say at least one person has died after heavy rain caused a landslide in the Almaty Region.  Heavy rain, combined with warmer temperatures and melting snow caused rivers to rise in other parts of the country last month. The Ministry of Emergencies reported flooding areas of the regions or provinces of Mangystau, West Kazakhstan, Aktobe, Akmola, Karaganda and Pavlodar from early April 2022. The ministry said 1,165 people were evacuated in total and around 270 buildings including homes were damaged by floods, along with transport infrastructure and agriculture. Heavy rain triggered flooding in Saryagash and Kazygurt Districts in Turkistan Region on 24 April 2022. Around 70 buildings were damaged and 50 people evacuated.

Floods and mudslides caused by heavy rains swept away houses in two villages in the Aksy district in Jalal-Abad Region of western Kyrgyzstan on 12 July, 2021, close the border with Uzbekistan. At least 15 people across the two countries have died as a result.

ZetaTalk Overview 6/30/2022: The stretch zone that will result in a new inland bay for Russia stretches all the way from Persia to the plains just east of the Urals. The Pole Shift will ultimately allow ocean waters to flood this bay. The recent intensity of quakes along our predicted route for this inland bay into Russia is in step with the African Roll. As Africa rolls it ruptures attachments to other plates. The Africa Plate attachment to the Saudi Plate is ruptured along the Red Sea, and its attachments to the Eurasian Plate are ruptured along the Mediterranean. And of course its attachments to the Indian Plate are already creating sinking in the Rift Valley stretch zone in Kenya.

Until these ruptures occur the Africa Plate is tugged to remain in place. In the meantime, the Atlantic is the weak point, being pulled apart to rupture from the South Atlantic to Iceland and parts in between. This creates a stretch zone across Eurasia, and the weak links succumb. As we have mentioned, the new Russian inland bay route is likely to develop lakes, and their recent flood history shows this in process. Stretched land will sink, as our prediction for the Embayment to the west of the Mississippi River shows. It is this sinking land, which will drop dramatically at the New Madrid finale, that will rupture the bridges that cross the Mississippi River.

Record Flooding and Mudslides Force Closure of Yellowstone National Park

The entire park, spanning parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, will remain closed to visitors as officials assess damage to roads and bridges.

ZetaTalk Analysis 6/30/2022: As the Heliplot charts show been showing for several months, Wyoming and Montana are constantly nervous and jerking around. They never have a calm day. As the quake maps show, the entire mountainous West of the US has been peppered with minor quakes too, continuously. As the Mainland Portion of the N American Plate relaxes from the bow shape it was forced to assume for the past couple decades, there are movements within the rock strata. Heaving and dropping land will cause landslides, and the rain was not the cause of this.

Extreme heat and humidity kill thousands of cattle in Kansas
June 15, 2022
https://www.agdaily.com/news/extreme-heat-and-humidity

This week, temperatures reached up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit with little cooling factor from wind.

ZetaTalk Analysis 6/30/2022: The clues as to what killed mass numbers of cows in Kansas is their behavior just before death. If overheated, they would not group together as this prevents cooling by wind. Grouping together is something the cows would do in the dead of Winter if trying to get warm. Why would a herd mass by the fence, as though trying to get away from something offensive? Methane deaths in sheep and antelope and especially fish and birds are of record during the 7 of 10 Plate Movements, and the entire Mainland of the US is being shifted westward at this time. These were methane deaths.

The Severe Wobble that has been in place for the past few months has certainly caused the Earth plates to crash into each other, and all the compression or stretch this creates is expressed in the rock screech that rock under pressure will emit. Per the Zetas, this is the reason the US Military grounded training in Southern California after several jets crashed. And could this have something to do with all the commercial airplane delays lately? The wobble effect on the Earth plate shows in the Heliplots too, as the N Pole leans to the East and then to the West.

US Navy Declares ‘Safety Pause’ after Three Aircraft Crash in a Week
June 12, 2022
https://swentr.site/news/557016-us-navy-marine-crashes

The US military has ordered a temporary halt to some non-critical missions, in order to conduct a risk and error review, after a Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey, as well as Navy MH-60S Seahawk and a F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet all crashed within a single week in southern California. On June 9, a US Navy Sikorsky MH-60S Seahawk helicopter crashed near Naval Air Field El Centro, California. On June 8, a US Marine MV-22B Osprey crashed near Glamis, California, killing all five Marines on board. On June 3, a US Navy fighter jet pilot was killed when his F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed in the Mojave Desert of Southern California.

ZetaTalk Analysis 6/30/2022: Mexico is buffered from direct subduction of the Pacific Plate by the Cocos Plate. The Northern West Coast of the US is likewise buffered from direct subduction by the Juan de Fuca Plate. In between these zones the N American Plate does not have a buffer, so as it relaxes from the bow stress imposed upon it for years while the Pacific compressed and the Atlantic widened, it has extreme subduction friction along the West Coast. The Pacific Plate pushes under N America all the way to the Continental Divide.

As we have endlessly emphasized, rock under compression will emit electronic screech. The Cocos and Juan de Fuca plates absorb this friction, but for that stretch of the West Coast direct subduction occurs for many miles inland, even to and past the Arizona/California border. On March 26, 2019 President Trump issued an EO on Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses, but there is no better safety during an EMP storm than landing planes. Use drones instead.

ZetaTalk Analysis 6/30/2022: What is the connection between the Heliplot in Bilibino becoming steadily black recently and the recent swarm of quakes just above the Azores in the Atlantic? These points lie on opposite sides of the long, flat plate border that runs through the Arctic. The Azores are on one end, Bilibino on the other end. Both these points are being tugged while N America adjusts, moving from a tight bow along the West Coast to relaxing into its former vertical posture. The N American Plate is pulled away from Bilibino when the Daily Earth Wobble causes the Earth’s N Pole to lean toward the East. But when the N Pole leans to the West, the Atlantic just south of Iceland is being tugged.
