FORTRESS - The Military Prepper Plan

[Gargolu]

People need to be paying very close attention to this. Ask yourself why do they want this capability, and why do they want it now? If they need it, so do you. Get ready for whatever is coming.

What is FORTRESS? Pentagon's 90-day plan to keep U.S. military bases running

Under the new plan, U.S. military bases must operate independently for 90 days amid global supply chain and security threats.

there are too many things at play, enemy is in the gates, cartel, mobsters, enemies of the state, critical devices made by china that america relays on that runs dependent systems, and people who are poverty stricken and those who are pissed off at who's elected. its all a powder keg.

Basic antibiotics are a good thing to stock up on, too. You can get fish antibiotics online without a prescription -- they have they the equivalent of almost all the human variety and they're just as good (basically). People without insurance have been using them for ages. They last years beyond the expiration date (except for tetracycline).

well can't you get ivermectin online too or does that need a prescription?

I'm not sure? I've never tried. I think it may be prescription only -- you'd have to Google it.

In Australia it is restricted prescription for use only when Lyclear has failed to treat scabies. However you can get a veterinary form for horses over the counter and it works well for skin lesions/cancers

Try getting the animal form. Not tablet but creams that can be gotten over the counter.

Hasn't anyone noticed on this subject that governments announce 90 days prep for themselves be put in place , but only recommend civilians 30 days prep.

You can get a year's worth of antibiotics and most prescription meds from jasemedical.com. My wife and I did and I sleep much better at night knowing it's down there.

The US government doesn't recommend 30 days for us, only 72 hours.

That is worse

Is there any relationship between operation FORTRESS preparations and this interesting development:

From Military.com:

Mar-a-Lago Missiles: Why the Military is Defending Donald Trump's Palm Beach Residence

New missile defenses at Mar-a-Lago add to a costly security mission.

www.military.com

Selected quotes from the article are posted below. I realize there is precedent for these types of air defense deployments. But when performed around the backdrop of operation FORTRESS, is this mere coincidence or part of some bigger "they know something we don't" story?

Select quotes:

The U.S. military has deployed short-range air defense systems around President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, expanding protection at a private property that has already required millions of dollars in federal security expenditures.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command confirmed the deployment Oct. 23, saying they positioned the equipment at the Secret Service’s request. Photographs identified Humvee-mounted Avenger short-range air defense systems, which are designed to engage low-flying aircraft and other aerial threats.

The military has not disclosed the deployment’s cost, duration or whether a particular threat prompted the decision. However, the additional defenses expand an operation that already requires fighter aircraft, military personnel and coordination among federal agencies.

Similar military operations protected previous presidents at their personal residences, although the latest deployment adds ground-based missile systems to the aircraft traditionally used to defend presidential airspace.

Bush’s Texas Ranch Had Military Air Protection
George W. Bush’s ranch near Crawford, Texas, offers a comparison.

In December 2007, the Air Force deployed seven fighter jets and 113 airmen to Fort Hood to protect Bush during his Christmas vacation. The aircraft monitored a 30-mile radius around the ranch under Operation Noble Eagle, the military’s homeland defense mission established after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The military has a long history of providing extensive air defense protection at private presidential retreats, although there is no public documentation indication that ground-based missile systems were stationed at Bush’s ranch.

Avenger systems themselves have an established domestic mission. The Army National Guard has used Avengers, Stinger missiles and radar systems to defend Washington, D.C., airspace.

Their appearance near Mar-a-Lago therefore represents an application of existing military capabilities rather than an entirely new homeland defense mission.

The U.S. military has deployed short-range air defense systems, saw that this morning so this is serious.

I can see that.

I don't want to wander too far down conspiracy theory boulevard. If the government had specific intelligence of something tangible, President Trump probably wouldn't go to Mar-a-Lago. And that could negate the need for a missile defense battery there. So I guess we'll see...

Don't forget that there is also avian tetracycline powder and avian sulphur based drugs. Could possibly be used in a pinch.

I have also noticed there is considerably more air traffic at the nearby long distance runway. Has been what looks like some AWAC aircraft and fighters. Also an increase in the number of USA tailed aircraft and more overseas aircraft than normal. Military presence has also ticked up with multi national troops. More that last major exercise but no active exercises currently.

So I guess it's fair (perhaps obvious) to say that military activity is increasing globally.

Queensland?

True! I've heard that expired tetracycline can be toxic, though. So, it's probably not a great antibiotic to stockpile. Sulphur drugs might be a good idea, though.

If nothing else is available mold penicillin and mosses make acceptable wound treatments. I know they’re not regulated and low or of unknown potency.

But if it is a question of nothing and dying from gangrene I’d give some thought to sphagnum peat.

I’ve had universal success with recluse spider bites and seriously nasty puss filled infections with carbolic acid salve.

No shelf life on any of those products.
Sorry about the graphic wound description, just wanted to illustrate what is possible beyond traditional pharmaceuticals.

Clean water will take you farther than most anything.

Capsaicin or pepper derivatives were used for the treatment of giardia or intestinal parasites. Also little to no medical literature available on this, no profit motive.
It wont work on everything but if it’s a choice of 72 hours of cramps and dysentery. Might try a tablespoon of capsaicin powder.

Other intestinal treatments for things like cholera were clean water hydration frequently with a salt and sugar solution.
Chewing tobacco will work on some types of plant secretions irritants.
If you’ve ever been in stinging nettle chewing tobacco stops the burn of stinging nettle almost immediately. Jewel weed is effective treatment for poison ivy.
Bottom line for me would be good supply of bar soap, water purification ability and how to make Dakin’s solution, 4 cups boiled water 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 11/2 tablespoons of plain 5% bleach. Good for everything from serious skin irritation to deep wound irrigation.

I know I dumped a lot and most of it is all non-traditional folk treatments.

Knowledge is power and when modern medicine is gone you have everything to gain by trying what was done for 1000’s of years. Well it’s a no brainer for me.

If your really desperate and adventurous and intravenous hydration and feeding is not available you could always try rectal hydration and feeding. I’ve no experience on this and only read about it cursorily.
But again if it’s a choice between watching someone die from dehydration or something that might possibly work when nothing will stay down. Stuff your queasy stomach and distaste in a box and close the lid.

I think bleeding patients has universally been proven ineffective. Any benefits from this procedure probably were derived from the short term neuralepinephrine release into the system in response to blood loss.
Ill stick to a cold showers for this treatment

you are very correct.

My late father knew how to make moldy bread poultices and mustard plasters. I more or less remember his descriptions of how to do them. He grew up before antibiotics were widely available.
