After considering what life might be like with the looming possibilities of:
  • WWIII
  • New World Order
  • Great Reset
  • American Civil War
  • etc.
I need to prepare for my family.

I have absolutely no desire to live in a concrete bunker wondering if I run out of water before I run out of freeze dried food.

Instead of the typical prepping, I am going to work on gaining a Letter of Marque and Reprisal. Then I will be able to get out and acquire the required commodities directly from our enemies, by whatever means necessary.

I don't know when they were last used but, they are still a legal possibility, to the best of my knowledge. I do know that the Confederacy used them, not so very long ago.

War of 1812 is the last that the USA used them IIRC.

To me, it would be a defacto declaration of war if enacted.

Your problem of which will outlast the other....the freeze dried food, or the water supply, is easily remedied. Just freeze dry a bunch of water! Your welcome.

OK, I'll admit to sabotaging your post. I think I will be pardoned when I get my letter.

A bill about this was actually introduced to congress last month. I don't think it went anywhere.

Not really, the difference is Execution for a pirate, and POW treatment for privateer.

Idk I think privateers historically never got much better treatment than pirates did.

do they execute anyone anymore ? so then really prison with a chance of getting out when the war is over.

but from MN do you have the fuel to get anywhere there is an enemy to plunder from? where will that be ?

rat soup starts sounding better and better.

maybe just invest in Waking onions this year so you can keep some seasoning for that soup

The enemy is everywhere, don't take much gas.

It is my patriotic duty, since I'm too old and fat to get back into the military. Aside from that; i was never at my best taking orders.

Given a letter, the enemy is defined. From there, pick a side. War has been declared.
