"Russian Invasion Survival Manual" To Be Issued To Citizens In European Union
Submitted by Mac Slavo via SHTFPlan.com,
While most Americans discount the possibility of a major conflict with Russia, Europeans who have seen two great wars in the last century know better.
The country of Lithuania, much like its neighbors, is preparing for a full-out invasion by Russian forces and their government is issuing a survival manual to its citizens. Though the complete details have yet to be released, the manual, among other things, advises citizens to “keep a sound mind, don’t panic and don’t lose clear thinking.”
Lithuanian Defense Minister Juozas Olekas unveiled the 100-page public information pamphlet last Tuesday at a press conference in Vilnius. The book, “How to act in extreme situations or instances of war” aims to educate the country’s citizens on what to do in the case of an invasion.
The manual instructs Lithuanians how to “act during the organization of civil resistance, but also how to act under battlefield conditions,” in addition to containing information on governmental changes following a declaration of war and procedures for evacuating a building, according to Olekas.
The book suggests demonstrations and strikes or “at least doing your job worse than usual” as means of resisting foreign occupation. It also advises citizens to use social media to organize resistance and promotes staging cyber-attacks against the enemy.
In typical government fashion, the manual seems to discount the possibility that a Russian invasion will include the horrors often associated with war, advising citizens not to worry because “gunshots just outside your window are not the end of the world.”
Of course, should gunshots erupt outside of your window as a result of a massive onslaught of tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry, it would be, by definition, the end of the world one has come to know.
The ‘Survival Manual’ seems to focus more on peaceful demonstrations and cyber warfare, rather than the obvious, which would more than likely involve the exchange of automatic gunfire, artillery, and Russia’s famed World War II era Katyusha rocket launchers, each of which are capable of firing over one ton of ordnance in 7-10 seconds in what are dubbed saturation bombardment salvos.
But don’t panic because this is not the end of the world if it’s happening in your neighborhood.
Lithuania is not the only country concerned with an impending Russian invasion. In March of last year, shortly after the Ukrainian crisis began, Poland called up military reserve troops for the first time since World War II.
According to a report from The Week Polish military reservists are being called up by the thousands, presumably to prepare for the possibility of not just spillover, but all out military confrontation with Russia.
At least 7,000 reservists have been recalled to the colours for immediate exercises lasting between 10 and 30 days.
They’re told by the Polish authorities that the call-ups are “routine”: but the men say they haven’t been asked before and they’re well aware of the growing alarm in Warsaw at President Putin’s aggression. Three weeks ago, their Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, called a press conference to warn that “the world stands on the brink of conflict, the consequences of which are not foreseen… Not everyone in Europe is aware of this situation.”
A conflict is brewing and everyone knows it.On Wednesday Russia made two key strategic moves that show just how tense the situation has become. First, they began selling U.S. dollar reserves, effectively divorcing themselves from dollar hegemony in the region. Second, in a show of force directly aimed at E.U. leaders they cut off 60% of their gas supplies to Europe in the middle of winter.
Observing the actions of Russia, the Europeans, and the United States over the last year should make it obvious what is happening.
The world’s super powers are preparing for a global confrontation.

Lithuanian Defence Minister Juozas Olekas said the project, a collaboration between the Defense Ministry and Lithuania’s Fire Brigade was prompted by “Russia’s recurring aggression against its neighbors – presently in Ukraine.”
Copies of the pamphlet are to be distributed to libraries, secondary schools and non-governmental organizations, while an online version will be available for download from the Defense Ministry’s website, Olekas said.
The Lithuanian government is also considering requiring all future buildings to include a bomb shelter.
Lithuania’s Russian minority is around 6 percent according to the country’s last census in 2011, unlike the two other Baltic enclaves, Estonia and Latvia where Russian speakers account for approximately one-quarter of the population.
Recently, President Dalia Grybauskaite, an outspoken critic of Russia, has moved to restrict the broadcast of Russian state channels in Lithuania.

Since MH17 slid off the front page
I want to live long enough to watch the State of Alaska hold a referrendum on rejoining Russia.
With oil depleting, fishing in decline, forests collapsing, taxes will rise to offset falling state revenue and the entire oil-based house of cards will enter terminal decline. The residents will see they've been brutally conned and demand to set matters right. They'll do the right thing and choose to go back to Russia. You watch.
Producing the manual was not very expensive and fits nicely into the European Union’s campaign to brand Russia as an enemy and as a catalyst to start a war, trying to establish Russia as the aggressor.
But this isn’t enough for Slavo. As the “Survival Manuel” tries to play down the dangers of war, the author feels it is his duty to provide the details on what war can mean for the citizens on the streets and in their homes. Surely, this propaganda needs to be countered with decent reporting on the true facts of the crisis in Ukraine. The aggressor is well known, from the NATO-CIA coup for Kiev to the arming of NATO countries to the sanctions on Russia. If the European people don’t want war, they need to sweep their politicians out of office and stop their subservience to the banker-centered aggression against the Russian Federation.
This manual is propaganda but for Slavo it was not enough…
The goal is for Russia to give in, to allow the separatists in eastern Ukraine to go down in defeat and to bring Ukraine into NATO as a full-fledged banker state. With this accomplished, the banker oligarchy will strengthen the perimeter around the Russian Federation, controlling trade and resources in an attempt to break the opposition to the euro and the dollar.
A single world currency and a single world military regime will ensure a world banker-government.
The gas cutoff has not been confirmed anywhere.
Should I cut & paste another article about imminent nuclear doom?
Nah.
The ruling elite in Lithuania purged the population by 40% (those people went either abroad to UK, PL, D and other EU countries, or died).
This is worse, then the second world war. Much worse Lithuanian losses during the WWII have been only 350.000 civilians, 14% of the inhabitants (no mil. casualties in the number, they rae hidden in the Wehrmacht and Red Army numbers.)
The WWII inflicted much less losses, then the democratic EU.
Soon there will be nobody left there, so why such concerns, Mr. Minister?
And Lithuania's main trading partner is... Bingo! Russia!
Russia has no need to invade the country to literally destroy Lithuania
They are using these tactics now to resist the Bankers. They don't need advice.
I guess bankers are using these tactics:
-
- Snowden Docs: Birth of 'D' Weapons...
- NSA preps for future wars in which Internet plays critical role...
- Net used to paralyze computer networks, infrastructure, flow of money...
I've been doing some minor world history reading lately, beings Americas been involved in military actions world-wide, more so the last 6 yrs. than ever before.
it looks to me like ww11 never ended.
for 45 yrs., (cold-war era), was just re-grouping for ww111.
after the cold-war, (the fall of the berlin wall), the scramble was on for position by the west.
I wondered how the actions in Libya, Egypt, Ukraine, and Syria could happen, hell it's old hand, us., eu., and nato have been doing this for 25 yrs. in southern Europe, and the spin-off countries of the Ussr brake-up.
countries were bought off from crooked politicians, then indebted that country, or they received the the I-2 punch, sro's, followed up by the junta.
Lithuania=Chicken Little
The sky is falling
