1449 Leave the Cities While You Can

17 Mar 2026 The government is criticised for exploiting tragedies to further their agenda, with a focus on the recent incident in Tumblestone Ridge. The speaker argues that the government’s response, including restricting gun rights, is ineffective and that the warning signs for the attack were missed due to a potential bias against the perpetrator’s transgender identity. The speaker emphasises the importance of threat assessment protocols and suggests that violence is an evolutionary process, not a sudden act.

The speaker argues that the current approach to gender ideology in schools, which excludes parents from decisions about their child’s transition, is harmful. They believe this policy assumes parents are a threat to their children and isolates them from the support they need. The speaker suggests that this approach could lead to more violence and advocates for a focus on mental health and family support.

The speaker expresses concern about the lack of respect and manners in children, attributing it partly to parents and the education system. They emphasise the importance of building a community or “wolf pack” for preparedness, highlighting the need for skills and resources beyond individual survival. The speaker also stresses the importance of contingency planning and distancing oneself from reliance on the system.

The conversation highlights the importance of individual preparedness for emergencies, emphasising the need for a written contingency plan. The speaker suggests that governments should promote self-reliance and preparedness, potentially through marketing campaigns and educational initiatives. They also emphasise the value of wargaming and scenario planning to refine and strengthen preparedness plans.

The conversation highlights the importance of preparedness and the challenges associated with it. While some people find the concept overwhelming, others are deterred by the perceived political connotations. The discussion also touches on the Alberta separatist movement, acknowledging the grievances but expressing a preference for a different solution.

The speaker emphasises the importance of a referendum on independence, viewing it as a test of democratic integrity. They believe the outcome is less important than the process, highlighting the need for politicians to respect the will of the people. The speaker also discusses the potential consequences of a successful referendum, including the possibility of other provinces seeking independence and the impact on national unity.

Key points

* Government Exploitation: Governments exploit tragedies for political gain and manipulate public sentiment. * Political Incompetence: The current government is incompetent and unable to effectively address national security threats or prevent tragedies. * Economic Collapse: An economic crash of unprecedented magnitude is imminent due to systemic instability. * Government Exploitation: Governments often exploit tragedies to further their pre-existing agendas, using such events as opportunities to enact policies that may not effectively address the root causes of the problem. * Public Scrutiny of Government Actions: The public should critically evaluate the effectiveness of government policies and hold them accountable for the outcomes, rather than accepting their actions at face value. * Predictable Political Response: After tragedies, there is a predictable pattern of political responses, including empty platitudes and a focus on transferring blame and risk onto convenient scapegoats. * Threat Assessment Training Experience: The speaker has participated in threat assessment training, including level one and level two, with Kevin Cameron. * Kevin Cameron’s Expertise: Kevin Cameron is a professional who trains school boards on threat assessment protocols to identify potential active shooters. * Prevalence of Threat Assessment Protocols: Threat assessment protocols and mental health science have been implemented in schools for decades, particularly after the Columbine High School massacre. * Pathway to Violence: Discussing the seven steps an individual goes through on the pathway to violence, with a focus on the first step: grievance. * Grievance and Bullying: Highlighting grievance as the first step and its connection to bullying, which is a major contributing factor to the development of active shooters. * Leakage as an Indicator: Emphasising “leakage” as the fifth stage in the pathway to violence, where individuals leak their intentions through social media, family, or friends. * Violence is a Process: Violence is not a sudden act but an evolutionary process with warning signs. * Missed Warning Signs: The individual exhibited signs of potential violence, but those involved may have overlooked them. * Potential Bias in Assessment: A hypothesis is proposed that bias against transgender individuals may have influenced the assessment of the situation and the application of protocols. * School Policies on Gender Transition: Schools are excluding parents from their child’s gender transition process unless the child consents or the information is deemed necessary for the parent to know. * Parental Exclusion as a Potential Threat: The policy assumes that parents might pose a threat to their child’s health and safety during gender transition, leading to their exclusion from the process. * Importance of Parental Involvement: Despite the policy, parental involvement is crucial in addressing potential pathways to violence, as it allows for intervention and support. * Parental Exclusion in Transition Decisions: Schools are excluding parents from decisions about their child’s gender transition, unlike how they handle other potential threats to a child’s well-being. * Gender Ideology as a Family Issue: The speaker believes that gender ideology should be addressed within the family unit, with support and help provided to families rather than isolating parents from their children. * Potential Harm of Gender Ideology: The speaker suggests that gender ideology, by potentially isolating children from their parents and presenting limited options, could lead to negative outcomes, including a pathway to violence. * Root Cause of Violence: The speaker believes that unresolved grievances and a lack of support for individuals struggling with identity lead to increased violence. * Call for Systemic Change: The speaker urges for intervention from schools and the system to address these issues and prevent further violence. * Mental Health Perspective: The speaker suggests viewing these issues as mental health concerns, encompassing gender dysphoria and other related factors. * Underlying

Education Campaign: Suggestion to launch a public service announcement campaign emphasising individual responsibility for safety and sustainment during the first 72 hours to a week of an emergency. * Shifting Public Perception: Highlighting the need to move away from the negative stereotype of “doomsday preppers” and promote emergency preparedness as a responsible and empowering action. * Public Responsibility in Emergencies: Individuals should be prepared to take care of themselves for at least the first week of an emergency, rather than solely relying on government assistance. * Shifting Public Mindset: Society needs to emphasise personal responsibility and preparedness, moving away from an over-reliance on government support during crises. * Government Preparedness Initiatives: While governments should encourage preparedness, they must also strike a balance between informing the public and avoiding widespread panic. * Government’s Motive for Promoting Dependency: The theory suggests that the government might want to keep people dependent on them for easier control and manipulation. * Effective Marketing for Preparedness: There are ways to market preparedness to people

breaking down a plan into stages, identifying potential disruptions, and developing countermeasures. * Decision Support Template: A physical or digital template that guides actions and identifies threats during plan execution. * Initial Consumerist Approach: Start with basic, achievable steps for consumers to encourage further engagement with contingency planning. * Overwhelm and Inaction: Many people find the concept of contingency planning overwhelming and choose to ignore it. * Belated Preparation: Some individuals attempt to prepare at the last minute, often finding the resources insufficient or unhelpful. * Emergency Food Recommendation: Wholesale freeze dryers is the number one emergency food company in America. * Political Divide on Preparedness: Preparedness, including growing gardens and living outside cities, is often associated with right-wing politics, leading to a knee-jerk reaction from the left. * Left-Wing Militarisation: The left is starting to militarise in the United States, potentially due to actions by ICE, which the speaker disagrees with. * Channel Accessibility: The speaker aims to make their channel accessible to everyone, but acknowledges recent instances of speaking out on political issues. * Political Landscape: The speaker expresses concern about the state of politics, particularly the right-leaning side, and finds it challenging to work with individuals on that spectrum. * Political Activism: The speaker mentions participating in the convoy and being active in provincial politics. * Right-Side Personality Traits: Individuals on the right side are more prepared and independent but difficult to work with due to their “my way or the highway” attitude. * Importance of Group Dynamics: Evaluating individuals’ reliability, teamwork, and political compatibility is crucial for long-term collaboration in a survival situation. * Testing Compatibility: Going on a camping trip with potential group members can help assess their reliability, work ethic, and ability to collaborate effectively. * Alberta Separatist Movement: The speaker acknowledges the grievances fuelling the Alberta separatist movement and expresses

to hold a referendum on their future, regardless of the potential outcome. * Importance of Referendum: The speaker believes that a referendum on independence is crucial as it reflects the democratic nature of the society and whether politicians truly represent the public. * Referendum Outcome Irrelevant: The speaker emphasises that the process leading to the referendum is more important than the actual outcome. * Potential Domino Effect: The speaker speculates that if Alberta holds a successful referendum, other provinces like Saskatchewan and Quebec might follow suit, potentially leading to
