As if the horrible events in Charlottesville, Virginia this past weekend weren’t enough, it looks like some large cities are gearing up for an alt-left/right civil war across the country.
My short version of advice – stay clear, stay far away and “bug in.”
This weekend there are “protests / marches / rallies” being held all over the US.
Here’s where the “protests / marches / rallies” will be held:
What you need to know is that THESE protests are about Google’s firing of James Damore for his criticism of their diversity policy.
The March on Google is to protest “anti-white-male diversity policies.”
These will be held in:
- Atlanta
- Austin
- Boston
- Los Angeles
- Mountain View, California
- New York
- Pittsburgh
- Seattle
- Washington, D.C.
The organizers of these events are trying to distance themselves from the event in Charlottesville.
“We, the organizers of the March on Google, join the President in condemning the actions in Charlottesville on August 12th. Despite many false rumors from those seeking to discredit us we are in no way associated with any group who organized there.”

Since this is a protest against Google’s “anti-white-male diversity policies” (read Alt-Right) expect the others side (Alt-Left) to show up and whip things up and a mini civil war take place.
But that is not all… according to CNN, two other events be coming up focusing on “alt-right” ideas…
Boston is preparing for a rally from alt-right group Boston Free Speech on Saturday. The city mayor has said the city won’t tolerate racism, bigotry, and violence.
Counter-protests are being planned in response to the rally in Boston as well, with the Black Lives Matter civil rights group saying they will march against the alt-right.

San Francisco is preparing for two rallies August 26 and August 27. Mayor Edwin Lee said the city can’t condone a rally that incites hate. “I ask that when they chant of hate, San Francisco chants of love. When they talk of despair, San Francisco talks about hope.”

Wait.. there is more… there is “Alt-Left” chatter widespread promoting the forced removal of civil war monuments, renaming of streets and buildings, and other actions that will almost certainly trigger further rage.
On September 16 in Richmond, Virginia, there is talk around the monument to General Robert E. Lee. Look for pro-south individuals to show up to this, followed by BLM and Antifa.

Folks, all of these events have the potential to balloon and we know what happens to balloons.. give enough pressure and they pop.
These rallies / marches / protests may start out as “peaceful” , but I strongly advice that you stay away and “bug in.” The rage is there and I truly believe that sooner or later someone is going to “pop” someone from the opposite side and then all hell will break loose.
Odds are we will then have a fire fight on our hands and I don’t know about you, but right now I am not in the mood nor inclined in getting into that sort of insane fight.
No matter what side you might be on, there will be counter-protestors who hold opposite views that you do and they ARE looking for a fight.
Those of us who still use our brains for more than something to separate our ears should not allow ourselves to be so easily divided.
Every person who was a Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders supporter is not a black-mask-wearing, vandalous, violent member of Antifa.
AND…Every person who was a Trump voter or is a right-wing conservative is not a member of the KKK or the Alt-Right. Most of us are peaceful people who love our neighbors.
Our nation has gotten to the point where many have become enraged reactionists which with one wrong look, one wrong word and they freak out.
Great example, look at Ashley Judd’s ranting airport post.
This is why I stress that one needs to be prepared to stay away from these gatherings.
IF you live close to some of these events, statues, parks ect, I would harden your security.
I have talked about plastic film for your windows as well as motion detectors that you can purchase. Now would be a good time to install these to help prevent a mob just looking to attack some perceived “enemy.”
To ensure that you are ready to “Bug In” here is a quick list of supplies that I recommend having on hand.
My Quick and Dirty Bug In List
– Water (1 gallon per person per day)
– Necessary prescription medications
– A well-stocked pantry – you need at least a one-month supply of food for the entire family, including pets. Don’t have the supplies, then I recommend these buckets of emergency food that you can purchase.

– Off-grid entertainment – arts and craft supplies, puzzles, games, books, crossword or word search puzzles, needlework, journals.
It is sad that our nation is facing this sort of division from these hate groups stirring the pot. But that is what the media is showing and it isn’t fair to the rest of the nation.
These groups are a vocal minority. They ARE NOT the heart of America.
Despite these rallies, riots, and protests, I still believe that most people are inherently good. Most of us get along just fine with people of different races or who have different political or religious beliefs. We don’t believe that everyone has to see the world through our lens.
This is what is called “Freewill.”
But thanks to the powers that be and an ever willing whore called Main Stream Media, these hate groups have become louder than us.
Whether you’re talking about Alt-Right rallies, Black Lives Matter marches, Neo-Nazi gatherings, or Antifa protests, they aren’t about unity. They’re about division. Us vs. Them.
This could lead to civil war across our country. Not since the 1800s have we been so utterly divided.
When the time comes, and eventually it will, both of these groups need to be put down and put down hard.
Good advise Ray and needed preparation ideas that should be taken seriously. We will be “bugging in”.
