How to Prepare for the Militarization of Your City

Because it’s not “if” — it’s “when”

The Military Is Coming. What the Fuck Are You Doing About It?

You’re not paranoid. You’re paying attention.
The U.S. government is escalating. The line between law enforcement and military occupation is already gone. You’ve seen it in DC. You’ve heard whispers of “readiness drills” in LA. You’ve felt the cold weight of it coming to your doorstep.

And yet... most people are still doomscrolling, still vibing, still pretending they can consume their way out of collapse.

Here’s the brutal truth: If you live in or near a major city, you are a potential target. Not necessarily because you’re a “threat,” but because they want to control the population, and they don’t care who they crush in the process.

This is a guide for staying out of the net.
This is how you survive while the boots hit the pavement.

1. Kill the Signal: Go Dark, Stay Gray

Stop bleeding data.
Your phone is a beacon. Your apps are snitches. Your cloud backups are dossiers.

Do this today:

• Disable location tracking everywhere
• Use offline maps like Organic Maps or OsmAnd
• Install and use Signal, not SMS
• Switch to a de-googled phone (GrapheneOS or CalyxOS)
• Encrypt your shit. Files, chats, drives — all of it.
• Avoid facial recognition zones (use IR-reflective sunglasses, scarves, hats)

Don’t be flashy. Don’t be loud. Be boring. Gray Man energy.

2. Scout the Choke Points

You need to know your terrain better than they do.
Where are the exits? Where are the alleys? What roads get locked down first?

Create a neighborhood recon map:

• Pin cameras, ALPRs (automated license plate readers), police stations
• Mark safe routes on foot, not just by car
• Identify choke points: bridges, tunnels, narrow streets

This isn’t paranoia. It’s intelligence.

3. Build Quiet Networks

When it hits the fan, you will need people. But not everyone. Just the ones who get it.

Start now:

• Create a local mesh network or set up backup radios (LoRa, GMRS, HAM)
• Find a small group (3-5) and plan together
• Learn secure drop points and offline signal codes (chalk, stickers, markings)

You don’t need a thousand followers.
You need five people who will run with you when the drones come out.

4. Pack Like a Ghost

Your “go bag” should be ready. No excuses.

Minimum gear:

• Water purification (Sawyer Mini or tablets)
• Cheap burner phone (with no accounts)
• Physical maps
• Cash (small bills)
• Portable charger + solar backup
• Respirator or filtered mask
• Eye protection
• Blackout scarf
• Lockpicks or entry tools (depending on state laws)
• Change of clothes (no identifiable branding)
• Compact first aid

You are not bugging out to the woods. You’re slipping through the city.

5. Misinformation = Free Control

The military uses narratives as weapons.
The moment martial law hits, you’ll be flooded with “stay calm” propaganda.
Don’t eat it. Don’t share it.

Verify with multiple sources.
Use sites like:

• Bellingcat
• Collective news aggregators like OneGex
• Open-source intelligence (OSINT) feeds

If it sounds too polished, it’s probably ops.

6. Practice Movement Discipline

Martial law = checkpoints, patrols, curfews.

You should already be training to move like you’re being watched:

• Learn to follow shadows, not sidewalks
• Move quietly. No clunky boots. No jingling keys.
• Practice timed drills for leaving your home fast
• Know how to disappear into a crowd

Walking to the store is now a tactical decision. Act like it.

7. Have a “Fuck You” Backup Plan

If all else fails — if the internet dies, the roads close, and your power is gone —
you need a final line of freedom.

• A stash house or safe location outside the city
• A physical paper map to get there
• A hard copy of contacts and encrypted passphrases
• Supplies to survive at least 7 days off-grid

They plan for worst-case scenarios. Why don’t you?

TL;DR — You’re Already in the Simulation

• They are militarizing cities.
• You are in the line of fire.
• Survival means preparation, not panic.
• Go dark. Stay quiet. Move smart. Trust few. Act now.

Don’t wait for permission.
Don’t wait for the news to “confirm” what you already know.
This isn’t conspiracy. It’s defense.
