Resistance
to tyranny is an important part of dystopian survival. It is not just
about surviving, but about reclaiming our rights, dignity, and heritage
so that we can build the best lives possible for ourselves and our
families for generations to come. The forces of tyranny are not giving up! Will we? Here are my book suggestions, plus a few from my readers, that are very useful in resisting the tyranny that is upon us:
1) Total Resistance -
The classic study on resistance & underground operations, by Swiss
Major H. von Dach. Often recommended by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking
Preparedness), a former Special Forces officer. Available on Amazon.
2) Resistance Operating Concept (ROC) -
Another great resource for resistance and underground operations. Also
recommended by both Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness) and Bear of
Bear Independent. Available on Amazon.
3) Human Factors Considerations of Undergrounds in Insurgencies: Second Edition - This manual is by the US Army Special Operations Command in 1966, and is focused
"on the contemporary threat of Maoist insurgencies, particularly in
Southeast Asia, and also draws extensively on World War II resistance
movements in Europe. Much of this information is still relevant" in
today's situations. Available on Amazon.
4) Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America, by
Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui (both officers in the Chinese military).
This is literally the handbook the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has
been using in its (so far very successful) cold war against America and
the West. Not only does it expose their tactics, but reveals to us
pointers we can use against our enemies, be they the CCP or our own
Western Elites. Available on Amazon.
5) Survivalist Family: Prepared Americans for a Strong America,
by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness), is a great guide to
beginner and intermediate preparedness and survival for both short-term
disasters and long-term emergencies. Preparedness and self-reliance are
the foundations upon which any successful resistance must be built. Affiliate link for 10% discount.
6) Retreat Security and Small Unit Tactics, by David Kobler (SouthernPrepper1) and Mark Goodwin - This book "will
give you the tools you need to put together a basic security plan for
your homestead, neighborhood, or group retreat to keep the wolves at
bay.Available on Amazon.
7) The Art of War,
by Sun Tze - This classic military study covers various aspects of
warfare, including tactics, intelligence gathering, leadership, and the
importance of adaptability. Available on Amazon.
8) Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) - If you don’t understand communist revolutions, you aren’t ready for what’s coming. This
is not a book about ideology or politics. Instead, it reveals that
communism, socialism, Marxism, and fascism are not philosophies but
tactics - tactics that are specifically designed to unleash terror on
everyday people and revoke their human rights to life, liberty, and
property. These are the forces of unhumanity. This is what they do.
Unhumans steals their playbook, breaks apart their strategies piece by
piece, and lays out the tactics of what it takes to fight back and win,
using real-world examples. Available on Amazon.
9) The NKJV, American Patriot's Bible, The Word of God and the Shaping of America -
Two things being attacked in today's world: Biblical teachings and real
history. This study Bible addresses both. One of my favorite
translations, the New King James Version is literal, accurate, and
easy-to-read for most modern folks. The American Patriot's Bible "shows
how the history of the United States connects the people and events of
the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States
is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible." Lot's of
articles and study notes showing the importance of God and the Bible to
our nation's founding and subsequent history. Available on Amazon.
10) War of the Flea: The Classic Study of Guerrilla Warfare, by Robert Taber - This book "began
a revolution in conventional military thought that has dramatically
impacted the way armed conflicts have been fought since the book’s
initial publication in 1965." Available on Amazon.
11) U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook - The official manual designed to provide guidance in special forces and unconventional warfare operations for commanders and staff at all levels. (Amazon link)
12) Guerrillas in the Mist: A Battlefield Guide to Clandestine Warfare, by Bob Newman - basic
fieldcraft; mines and booby traps; tunnel construction and strategy;
ambushes; urban and nocturnal tactics; interrogation, indoctrination and
exploitation; psyops; and more. (Amazon link)
13) The Prince,
by Niccolò Machiavelli. The Left and the Elites are much better at
politics than our side. That is because we generally want to be left
alone and to leave others alone in turn. They want to control. Politics
is a battleground we must master. Machiavelli teaches us to wield power
ruthlessly when necessary, a skill we can’t afford to ignore. (Amazon link)
14) The Discourses on Livy, by
Niccolò Machiavelli. In his other political masterpiece, Machiavelli
analyzes the history of ancient Rome - based on Livy's History of Rome -
to explore political structures, governance, and the conditions for a
successful republic. Remember, the United States was founded as a
Republic. (Amazon link)
15) On War, by
Carl von Clausewitz. The classic treatise on strategy reveals war and
politics as a contest of wills. For the resistance, it’s a playbook for
outmaneuvering a stronger foe. (Amazon link)
16) United We Stand: Building Your Emergency Preparedness Network,
by David Kobler (aka SouthernPrepper1). Our strength lies in liberty,
but survival demands alliances. Building networks is difficult for many
of us, since our side tends to be highly individualistic and mistrustful
of others. Kobler, a seasoned prepper and veteran, offers practical
steps to build trust and networks without compromising independence. (Amazon link)
17) The Evil Twins of Technocracy and Transhumanism,
by Patrick M. Wood, exposes technocracy as the Elites’ blueprint for
domination, and transhumanism as the literal existential threat it is. (Amazon link)
18) Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order, by Patrick M. Wood, maps the elites' endgame, arming us with knowledge to fight back. (Amazon link)
Free Article) Understanding the Threats: Technocracy, by Tim Gamble. A great introduction, if I may humbly say so, to the most powerful tool of the Elites and Deep State. (article link)
19) Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software,
by Charles Petzold. Technocracy and AI are the tools being used against
us. Petzold demystifies the machines, giving us the tools to subvert
their control. (Amazon link)
20) SAS Survival Handbook, Third Edition,
by John 'Lofty' Wiseman. Includes information on both wilderness and
urban survival. Survival is the first step to resistance. (Amazon link)
Suggestions from my readers last year (Thank You!):

2) Cold Times: How to Prepare for the Mini Ice Age, by Dr. Anita Bailey - Also recommended by Bendy: "gardens, livestock, medicine, storing up, building, etc etc." Available on Amazon.
3) The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics In Afghanistan, by Lester Grau. Recommended by Skyler the Weird: "Insurgency
from the perspective of the Soviet Occupiers. The Soviets discovered
the Afghans didn't care to have a Dictatorship of the Proletariat just
as we discovered they weren't interested in a Democracy with Rainbow
Flags later on." Available on Amazon.
4) The Geneva Bible - Recommended by SecessionIsTheAnswer: "This
is the true patriots bible - written by men of God fleeing from
persecution by bloody Queen Mary to Switzerland. There a team of
dedicated individuals painstakingly translated into English, the Bible
with all related notes & other information relating to the
translations. This was printed and provided to all us serfs to read at
home. Prior to this, only priests were allowed a copy of the Bible.
Later King James commissioned the KJV of the Bible - wanting to
re-establish in the Bible that priests and the ‘King’ are superior to
the common man/serf. While the NKJV makes some improvements, the Geneva
Bible was written as a direct communication between God and you. No
priest or other 3rd party is required!" Available on Amazon and at https://genevabible.com/
