The Survivalist Pledge:

To help all that can be helped,
To defend all that can be defended,
To save all that can be saved,
To free all that seek freedom,
To stay alive as long as I can and stay free as long as I live.

It's 1990 and THE PLAN for the destruction of the United States as a free and independent nation is progressing rapidly.

"We at the executive level here were active in either the OSS, the State Department, or the European Economic Administration. During those times and without exception, we operated under directives issued by the White House. We are continuing to be guided by just such directives, the substance of which were to the effect that we should make every effort to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a comfortable merger with the Soviet Union. --Rowen Gaither, President, Ford Foundation to Norman Dodd, Chief Counsel, Congressional Reese Commission, 1953. (Taken from McAlvaney Intelligence Advisor, Box 22998, Denver, CO 80222.)

The recent "fall of communism" that we have been observing is nothing more than the preliminary stages of THE PLAN for implementing a ONE WORLD government system. Freedom-loving patriots protected by the US Constitution are not part of this PLAN. Gun restriction, registration, and confiscation IS an important step in this PLAN and will soon come to pass. Because of the speed at which the situation is changing internationally as well as the recent domestic restrictions placed on semi-auto firearms (in California, Atlanta, Denver, Cleveland, Columbus, etc.) a re-evaluation of your weapons and ammunition storage plan can be suggested.

Although the primary battle rifle selected by most survival-oriented people is the AR-15 or the M14, a need will eventually arise for one or more additional rifles for members of a growing family (kids grow fast), for burial at a remote location (cache site) or as a "sacrifice" weapon during a time of gun confiscation. With so many requirements on your survival list and so few dollars available, this can easily become a low priority item, seemingly never to be acquired.

The M-1 Carbine is a semi auto, gas-operated rifle that fires a .30 caliber, 110-grain bullet. This rifle is considered one of the most reliable and easy to use weapons ever developed for combat. The M-1 has been used with great effectiveness in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam as well as many other smaller combat situations the world over. In addition, because of the large number of these guns produced over a 50-year time span, it is a favorite weapon of many SOG groups (if captured or confiscated, the country of origin is impossible to determine). Because of the easy availability of surplus rifles as well as technical manuals, surplus ammunition, and maintenance equipment, an M-1 Carbine is an excellent choice for a backup rifle.

I would recommend 3 or 4 different technical manuals as well as some of the required assembly and disassembly tools. After purchasing an M-1 Carbine and its accessories, you might consider having the gun treated to eliminate rust and corrosion. As of this date (April, 1990), the M-1 Carbine is NOT on the list of banned "assault weapons" for the PRC (Peoples Republic of California) although it might be targeted at a later time. Remember that because of the plans being implemented by the traitors in Washington, London, and Brussels, the days of legal firearms ownership are rapidly coming to a close. You should be thinking in terms of obtaining the necessary firearms and ammunition to sustain you and your family for the rest of your life. No number of guns and ammunition is too much. When the ONE WORLD government is implemented, you, as a criminal "survivo-terrorist" will only be able to restock your supplies from the dead bodies of the secret police.

You might make it a habit to visit your local gun ranges and shooting areas 2 or 3 times a week in the summer. Go not to practice, but to pick up every piece of brass you can find. Almost everything you find except for .30-caliber Russian is reloadable. In addition, start collecting lead scrap tire weights for melting down into bullets. Reloading your own ammunition is a fun, family-oriented pastime. Remember: Your mind is your primary weapon. USE IT.
