The major source of elevated threats now is Iran. The Hamas attack on Israel was orchestrated by Iran, along with on-going attacks on U.S. forces in the region. It is very likely that Iranian sponsored or executed terrorist attacks will occur in the U.S. If they target vulnerable parts of our electric grid, poison water supplies, execute cyber attacks (likely in conjunction with their allies: Russia, China, North Korea), they could cause major disruptions and possibly trigger a collapse. Yes, we know it’s the holiday season, so offering cheer with some survival humor: Fortitude Ranch was recently praised by a […]

Prepper survey reports on greatest threats we face today A survey of preppers, who unlike most Americans are regularly watching for indications of a disaster or event that could lead to a “collapse” (economy not functioning, widespread loss of law and order), rated the top threats we face.  Below is a list of the top threats of concern to watchful, prepared Americans, in order of concern (based on their assessment of both likelihood of occurrence, and impact of the collapse that may result): Unsurprisingly, over half rated loss of our electric grid as a grave, #1 threat.  Vulnerabilities of our […]

Some preppers think so – and they’re ready.” — was a cover story in some editions of the newspaper. The picture on the right is one of several taken at Fortitude Ranch Colorado for the piece.

AI increases the ability of biotechnology and bioengineered viruses to be designed and released for maximum human destruction.  An Executive Order just released highlights the risk, but calls for nothing but studies and models.  The key part of the executive order was the three page long section on “Reducing Risks at the Intersection of AI and CBRN Threats. . . . — with a particular focus on biological weapons”: If you’re a government funded think tank or agency, this is a great order to give you more work studying the problem.  But there is nothing in this order on actually reducing […]

Another major warning of bioengineered pandemics For decades biologists and Dept of Defense Think Tanks have warned that bioengineered viruses and pandemics are “inevitable,” but still warnings are coming out—and being ignored by Government.  Artificial Intelligence and super computers make it easier for a nation state, terrorist group, or even one dedicated individual to bioengineer a new virus that could wipe out most of mankind. The capability to do bioengineering has been around for over a decade, and it keeps getting easier for bad people to alter natural viruses to make them more transmissible and lethal. Fortitude Ranch CEO Dr/Col Drew […]

Some good threat news—no active supervolcano warnings, Yellowstone is not about to erupt There are huge numbers of YouTube videos suggesting that Yellowstone is about to erupt as a supervolcano.  Such an eruption would not just destroy life locally, but spread ash that would destroy much of U.S. crops short term—and long term might reduce or block sunlight worldwide for years, causing huge loss of life and species and a horrific collapse.               According to the U.S. Geological Survey office, there is no higher risk now of a Yellowstone eruption.  The most recent supervolcanic eruption on Earth occurred about 27,000 years […]
