An Interview with Steve Slepcevic of Strategic Response Partners Two weeks after living through the carnage that hurricane Helene caused in Appalachia, I presented at the Reawaken America Tour in Selma North Carolina on the topics of my films on CBDC: The End of Moneyand STOP IT! Great Taking. I ran into one of the other speakers, Steve Slepcevic who is one of the most interesting operators I’ve met in a while. He has responded to every major disaster in the United States over the last three decades and is at the top of his game. He had much to say on the situation that unfolded in Appalachia. No emergency assets (power generation, tree removal, relief aid) where pre-positioned, even though the trajectory of the storm was evident in advance. As the water, power, cell phone and internet service collapsed and homes, whole towns and major roads disappeared, people in the region felt totally alone. With billions going to migrants, foreign wars and other federal and state boondoggles, where was the relief that was need here at home? 
The above comic sums up the sentiment well. So when I met Steve Slepcevic backstage at the Reawaken America Tour a few weeks ago I egerly picked his brain. With his experience working in the disaster field since 1989, he now operates the premier rapid response company. He explained that when the police and medical services evacuate an area, nothing but looters are left. So for his clients, Steve forward positions medic, security and specialist teams to protect critical facilities such as hospitals, old folks homes, public infrastructure and private residences to make sure these facilities remain operational and secure throughout a category 5 hurricane or other apocalyptic disaster scenarios. When the infrastructure goes down and you are on your own, you must be self sufficient to do what you need to do, not get bogged down by the chaos ensuing around you and make best decisions for yourself and your family. I can tell you that when hurricane Helene hit, and the power, water, internet and cellular systems went down, cash was the only means to buy anything for over a week from wherever was open. All gas stations were closed, except for a few and they had 5 hour lines, when they did have gas. Quickly, in such scenarios, a new hierarchy of needs arises: 1. Cash 2. Gun 3. Chainsaw 4. Fuel 5. Water 6. Food Stress and panic set in and within 5 days, anyone who is useless quickly becomes a peasant and anyone handy becomes a lord. Those who are cool, composed and capable thrive and those who are not, perish. When the systems collapsed, I had the sinking feeling that we would experience a similar shutdown of essential services in the future but it would be a different scenario under which it would occur. The WEF has discussed the likelihood of a “cyber pandemic” that could shut down electric power, internet and banking infrastructure. Intelligence agencies around the world have conducted extensive simulation planning for such senarios, cooperatively between Western and BRICS nations alike. PLEASE DONATE for Cinema Quality Interviews From his experience addressing all the major disasters of the last 30 years, Steve Selpcevic has advise on how we can preserve the integrity of our communities in such scenarios. When disaster’s strike, if we don’t have a plan to forward the interests of our communities, the government will have a plan, and it most likely will not be in our best interest’s. He advises us to prepare on a community level for disaster scenarios and and assemble expert committees ahead of time. Get accredited specialists to sit on the board and form a plan that servers our best interests. Forward thinking and all scenarios planning! Steve also told me, a critical thing to have in a disaster scenario is a satellite phone. He said “Remember, the people who had satellite phones were the first we rescued” [by helicopter in Appalachia]. At the conference, he introduced me to a supplier, Sat123.com. They give you the satellite phone for free and it costs $100/month (for 15 months). 150 minutes globally, and they carry over to the next month if not fully used… reasonable! [They are not paying me to say this, but did provide me product to sample] The owner also made a really cool RFID blocking, ballistic backpack that can withstand handgun fire! The Escape Zone Faraday Ballistic Backpack…. so cool. Make sure you tablets, phones and computers don’t emit anything, and be able to take a bullet! I have to say the ballistic backpack is one of the nicest backpacks I’ve owned and I’m going to start using it to hold some of my film gear in the field. This experience of going through a disaster has taught me a lot about self sufficiency and planning for our future. Financially we need to navigate the obstacles of our tumultious time. The violation of property rights to financial securities is alarming, but there are ways to mitigate the risk. As I work on documenting the issue as apart of a PhD I am working on, I look foward to sharing this information with the public via a newsletter I’ll be publishing soon. Property rights to our securities have been compromised and there are ways to mitigate that risk and fix the system within the US. We need to know how to be healthy, prosperous and weather the challenging time we have been born into. I am here to help people navigate these trying times and be usefule to help them mitigate their risk and proser.

Plan for disaster? Well that’s an article I won’t read.
A friend pushed me into buying extra things several years ago so I have a place in my kitchen with pasta, coffee, biscottes, etc. all way past their sell-by dates and gathering dust. I’ll just take my chance.
