It might seem understandable that someone who’s been so brutally attacked and slandered by the leftist/Globalist political apparatus, yet lived to tell about it, would be expected to step lightly going forward. But that would be a gross underestimation of the courage and resolve of General Michael Flynn. Having seen the enemy close up as it wages all out war on everything good and decent in our culture, he recognized the need to expose and confront it, and has been relentless in that pursuit.
His most recent effort is a newly released book, co-authored with Boone Cutler, titled “The Citizen’s Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare” (Available at Barnes and Noble).To describe it as a “must read,” for all American Patriots who are concerned with the direction our country has been going in recent years, is a vast understatement.
We have all watched in stunned horror, as one worthwhile institution of our Nation after another is attacked from within, ravaged and corrupted, and despicably transformed into a grotesque perversion of what it was originally intended to be. We have witnessed our horrendously expensive government schools increasingly abandon their original charter as institutions of academic learning, to morph into factories of anti-Christian, anti-American indoctrination. They now crank out intellectually vacant and emotionally destroyed young “adults” who have zero concept of real history or math, can barely read, yet eagerly spew the mantras of the leftist/Globalist establishment.
Similarly, all departments of government, particularly in blue states and at the federal level, are demanding mindless ideological and religious conformity to the lunacy of the counterculture, rendering them ever more dysfunctional, yet increasingly dogmatic and belligerent, as they assail and undermine every precept of real Patriotism and the traditional, Judeo-Christian values on which our Nation was founded.
During the insanity of the Wuhan virus “pandemic,” many eyes were opened to the fact that something very intentional and very wrong, was driving so much of the decision making process at the highest levels of government. To be sure, President Trump made a valiant attempt to stand against much of it, but he was undermined and betrayed at every juncture, by a veiled, nameless enemy that had a singular and malignant agenda to advance.
What we learn from authors Flynn and Cutler is at once chilling and invaluable, as they unmask the seemingly faceless leftist/Globalist beast that is waging this onslaught. And while its scope and reach is enormous, and thus an ominous existential threat to the safety and well-being of Americans, and to America itself, our best course of action against it is to have it unmasked in this manner, so the good people of our Nation can coordinate and strategize against it.
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
It is in this regard that Flynn and Cutler provide the greatest and most effective “weapon” by which to be armed against this seemingly vague and indistinct foe, which is our awareness of who/what it is, and how it operates. For starters, they explain the different types of warfare, both past and present. Perhaps most importantly, or at least insofar as mustering the people to acknowledge and recognize the reality of this threat, they elaborate on the current “non kinetic” nature of it. Understanding the premises of “non kinetic” warfare is a crucial first step without which any effort to confront the enemy is as futile as going up against battleships with bayonets.
It is a longstanding myth of warfare that the goal is to destroy the opposition. In the vast majority of situations, it is instead to emotionally defeat one’s opponent, for the sole purpose of convincing it that resistance is futile. In that manner entire nations can be overtaken without a shot being fired. And the primary weapon of that strategy is information itself. In our current age, a massive propaganda blitz is underway, to convince people either that the onslaught is benign, or that opposition to it is pointless, so compliance is the only alternative.
Breaking through such a wall of deceit and manipulation, by shining the light of truth, with military precision, in the midst of it, can totally negate its intended impact. Again, recognizing when state sanctioned lies, dutifully echoed by a complicit media, are being presented as “truth,” and understanding the real intent of those lies, is the most effective means of combating them with devastating success. In this regard, the comprehensive and well articulated explanation of our current circumstances from Flynn and Cutler are invaluable.
Full disclosure: In Appendix 1, Flynn and Cutler cite my own book “Rules for Defeating Radicals” (Available at Amazon), in numerous quotes, as a means of equipping concerned citizens to understand how to engage and overcome the enemy in direct ideological and political encounters. Furthermore, they explain at great length how both the situation in which we are currently embroiled, and our necessary response to it, are not confined to the borders of this Nation, but affect all freedom loving people throughout the world who have awakened to the dark “canon” of the leftist/Globalist movement, and desire to be free from its snares and pitfalls. Of course America is pivotal in this battle. Freedom loving people everywhere understand that if our Nation loses its heritage of freedom and justice, those ideals are imminently endangered throughout the world.
In light of such high stakes, Flynn and Cutler have provided “The Citizen’s Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare” as an essential resource at a critical juncture in our Nation’s history, and ultimately in the history of the world.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
