“Life & Liberty need Catastrophic Civilian Defense for America Down”
Our expert guest Don Trumbull is a former air carrier owner who has analyzed multiple outcomes for pandemics and disasters, natural or man-made, and he’s come up with a solution called Safe States. It is a form of pre-emptive voluntary quarantine where like-minded people congregate in regions with all the supplies they need to survive and even thrive, without the need for travel. These are people prepared to weather unpredictable storms in a close-knit community with autonomous rule, without relying on the federal government to ‘save’ them.
Q&A:
- How close are we to catastrophic failure with COVID-19?
- If this pandemic is a “close call”, doesn’t it identify a catastrophic gap in America’s ability to survive the future?
- How much worse would an EMP attack be? Or Cyber warfare?
- How prepared are we against natural catastrophes such as a solar flare or a mass corona ejection?
- How about biowarfare? How much worse would the mortality rate be than with COVID-19?
- What would the loss of our supply chains and infrastructures look like with any of these disasters and how would government manager it? Can individual states adequately prepare for a sudden loss of our basic infrastructures? Food, water, medical supplies? Emergency communication and transportation? Law and Order?
- How can the private sector and our state/federal governments work together to secure life, liberty, and survival?
- Do we need to revive civil defense at the state level?
- Would a catastrophic “civil” defense work in high-density states? Would some of the more progressive states seek to disarm the general populace and would that be good or bad?
- Tell us about your proposed SAFE STATES initiative and can it work when our federal government is divided? Can the need for a catastrophic defense bring opposing political factions together to defend life and freedom?
ABOUT DON TRUMBULL…
DON TRUMBULL is an author and a former air carrier president and director of operations.
Following a ten-year mission exploring the vulnerability of our U.S. air carriers/supply chains to the catastrophic threat of solar flare/electromagnetic pulse, in 2019 his broader findings inspired a civilian countermeasure system called the SAFE STATE Project.
An achievable on-site defense for individuals, communities, and emergency services, the SAFE STATE countermeasure is a low-cost alternative to hardening the critical infrastructures.
