Surviving Economic Anarchy
Published: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 with 361 Comments
Many financial experts believe our greatest near term risk is that of social
anarchy, brought on by an economic collapse, or an attack on our infrastructure.
The French bank, Societe Generale has recently issued a warning to its clients for a
potential Global Economic Collapse! Before one scoffs off Societe Generale’s warning, one
needs to take into context that they have been right in the past. One such instance was in
May of 2008 when they predicted a stock market collapse between 50-70%. An economic
collapse would create a social anarchy that you will need to be prepared for.
A period of lawlessness may prevail after any major interruption of services. This was
evidenced in the Los Angeles Rodney King riots of 1992, where even the police retreated to
safe harbor and left the entire community on their own, with no government protection. By
the time the police, the U.S. Army, the Marines and the National Guard restored order, the
casualties included 53 deaths, 2,383 injuries, more than 7,000 fires, damages to 3,100
businesses, and nearly $1 billion in financial losses. That was a localized event, triggered
by an apparent unjust trial verdict. An economic collapse is a much more globally-severe
crisis.
Following an economic meltdown, the government will not be capable of providing adequate
police and social support. Without extreme emergency measures, there will be hunger,
sickness, death, and destruction everywhere you turn. Whether you’re going to be faced
with gangs, thieves, or even ad-hoc militias, one way or another you will find yourself in a
situation that requires years of experience and training in the proper countermeasures to
stay alive. Your home and family will not be safe, but rather a target. Your house is
practically a sore thumb that anybody can find and break into in order to steal your rations
and supplies. Simply stated, anarchy will bring confusion, chaos and disorder that few have
ever seen, or know how to deal with. It will be a case of the ‘haves’ versus the ‘have not’s’.
If you have something of value, others will seek it out and take it, be it: food, water, fuel,
gold, or guns…anything that will help someone survive is fair game for them. Even a small
light in the dark will be a sign of your whereabouts and a signal that you have something –
electricity, batteries, or fuel. Sooner or later, the ‘have not’s’ will arrive to take it.
Usually, the only way that you could avoid this, assuming you had the experience,
knowledge, and means, is if you were to relocate to a remote shelter, one in which you
would be almost completely secure from the outside world and could lock yourself in and be
self-sustaining for an indefinite amount of time, hopefully up to a year in order to allow the
passing of the general insanity. Even at this point, you would still need to find the right
place to have this shelter. That always entails somewhere deep in the woods where it would
be so hard to access, that nobody presumably would waste their time and resources trying
to find you. But, rest assured they will, despite how much camouflage or stealthy measures
you take, the ‘have not’s’ will eventually find you and take what is yours. Your life will be at
risk with any attempt to defend yourself and what you have stocked up, thus you will need
to let them take whatever little supply you may have. When you do, you are now the ‘have

not’, and in time, will either turn to the same methods of scavenging for survival, or
eventually perish.
To defend yourself, you would have to have an arsenal of guns and weapons, as well as
anti-measures to hide and secure the few supplies you have stockpiled for your survival.
Unless you have been properly trained in extreme survival measures, and combat tactics, it
is highly unlikely that you would be prepared to adequately defend yourself.
The Vivos Solution
Without former military, or extreme survival training, the above solution may seem
insurmountable. For most people, it would be. An alternative, commercial solution is to
join Vivos and have a turnkey shelter fully stocked and equipped for up to one year of
underground survival. Each shelter is designed to accommodate up to 200 people, each
with a diverse set of skills. Collectively this Vivos community will be able to provide each
other with security and defense, medical, survival education, cooking, hunting, farming and
virtually every skill and service that will be needed to survive a long term need for shelter.
Each Vivos shelter is effectively a modern day “fort” that will be defendable from virtually
any intruder, or rogue force. The Vivos shelters are all located in deep, underground,
remote, mountainous locations. They are also heavily fortified for defense, with extensive
surveillance, and security measures. Survival at a Vivos shelter is far more viable than on
your own, or even with a small group of people, dug in a hide site in the wilderness.
For most people, there are far too many variables and skills needed to realistically survive
on your own, especially under a scenario of social anarchy. Vivos is the community solution
for the masses, providing a greater long term chance of survival than any other. As a coowner
of one of the Vivos shelters, you will only need to get there. Everything else is
provided, including food, water, fuel, clothing, medical supplies, communications devices,
security measures, as well as extremely comfortable accommodations.
We cannot predict if and/or when an economic or natural event, such as an electromagnetic
pulse that could take down our entire electric grid, will happen. However, we can prepare
for these scenarios. Doing otherwise would be negligent and irresponsible.
