How Tesla Describes the Cyber Truck on Their Website

EXOSKELETON - Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.

ULTRA-HARD 30X COLD-ROLLED STAINLESS STEEL - If there was something better, we’d use it. Help eliminate dents, damage and long-term corrosion with a smooth monochrome exoskeleton that puts the shell on the outside of the car and provides you and your passengers maximum protection.

VERSATILE UTILITY - RUGGED STRENGTH - With the ability to pull near infinite mass and a towing capability of over 14,000 pounds, Cybertruck can perform in almost any extreme situation with ease.

PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY - Now entering a new class of strength, speed and versatility—only possible with an all-electric design. The powerful drivetrain and low center of gravity provides extraordinary traction control and torque—enabling acceleration from 0-60 mph in as little as 2.9 seconds and up to 500 miles of range.

This is the Tesla Cybertruck. You can order one here.

Cybertruck for Natural and Manmade Disaster Survival

Natural and manmade disasters happen everyday. Fires, floods, tornadoes, power outages, brown outs, blizzards and other disasters depend on power to get life back to normal.

For example, skilled construction workers must use chain saws to cut downed trees and power lines so police, fire, emergency medical, foot and water supplies and other recovery assistance can arrive.

Reliable transportation and a power source are essential to that effort.

The Cybertruck provides both reliable transportation and a power source in the form of a 240 and two 120 power connections. During a power outage, you can power your house off the Cybertruck. And this energy flow is bidirectional

Bidirectional charging enables electricity to flow both ways. The idea is to use bidirectional charging equipment to push and pull energy from electric vehicles at any given time. It enables high-capacity lithium-ion batteries to power EVs but also as backup storage cells to charge other electric devices or your home.

There is a camper you can purchase to add to the Cybertruck bed. Should your house disappear due to a hurricane, flood, fire, tornado or earthquake, you can camp out in the bed and find shelter while saving on hotel bills.

And there is a HEPA filter to purify the outside air that enters the Cybertruck. This is especially useful for anyone living in areas with forest fires and the dangerous and toxic smoke that results when they occur.

Cybertruck Protection from Civil Unrest

We see everyday how crime in American cities is out of control. Soros-financed district attorney’s are not enforcing the law. Details here.

With riots and gangs stopping drivers in quick strikes stealing possessions or even your vehicle, you need a vehicle that keeps you and your family safe. You, because you keep your family safe, and your family because you are responsible for their safety when out in the world, need to purchase this safety device.

The Cybertruck is the solution to the current American crime and riot manmade disaster.

You need protection between yourself and bullets being fired at you and your family by predators. This is true walking the streets in American cities now. You can wear a bullet proof shield in your backpack to protect yourself when you are walking about the city.

But what about when you are driving into, out of, and around the city? You need a bullet proof vehicle. And the Cybertruck is the only vehicle, except for the President’s Beast bullet and bomb proof vehicle, that can give you that advantage right now.

Critics of the bullet-proof Cyber Truck are ridiculing the idea that it is bullet proof, but the word is getting out that this vehicle is, indeed, bullet proof.

As our military learned in Iraq when they had half million dollar bullet and bomb proof vehicles, nothing is absolutely bullet or bomb proof. But this truck increases your safety and the safety of your family in American cities right now.

Life is always a balance. Many laugh at preparing for thermonuclear war. They believe Hollywood’s 75-year lie that only 10 percent of Americans survive a thermonuclear war when actually 90 percent survive. So, based on false information, they do not take measures to ensure they will survive a manmade of natural disaster. In a phrase, they whistle past the graveyard.

You saw the riots in American cities from May to August 2020. I lived through the riots in Philadelphia in 1965 and 1968. My father had to scream at a mob in 1968 when they surrounded our car with his wife and 8 children to scare them with his strength so we escaped being attacked.

Crime is real. Riots happen. This Cybertruck is a gift to help you and your family stay safe given our current crime and riot realities in American cities right now.

Advantages of the Cybertruck for Tradesman

Plumbers, electricians, construction workers, painters, mechanics, stone masons, roofers, arborists, and other tradesman will find the Cybertruck a game changer to protect themselves and their tools when working in crime infested areas of American cities.

When my brother had a home improvement company in Seattle, Washington, criminals broke into his truck 3 times when he was on the job and stole his tools. By stealing his tools, they were stealing his livelihood. Despite what the Soros DA’s have done in making theft a non-crime in cities, theft takes another persons livelihood. This is especially true for a tradesman.

Check out the remarkable tradesman features of the Cybertruck here.

The tool-stealing thieves succeeded the first 2 times. The third time he was able to put a firearm to the head of the thief who immediately dropped his tools and ran. Self protection is a Biblical value.

This Cybertruck gives the tradesman the advantage of self protection in dangerous cities by enabling him to safely travel to and from the job site and protect his tools and equipment while at the job site so he does not have to draw his firearm to protect his livelihood.

No other truck can do that.

NOTE: I pray that Tesla develops a way to prevent the Cybertruck from being purchased and used by the cartels, Communist Chinese Party/People’s Liberation Army (CCP/PLA) agents, Iranian terrorists, and other military-age aliens currently pouring into the United States. This is a classic duel use technology. It can do so much good for Americans. But it can also be used by alien invaders who have arrived by the millions to further their invasion and conquer plans, strategies, tactics, and unrestricted warfare objectives.

Farmers Markets: Solution to American Food Shortages

Never did I think American mothers would not be able to get baby formula for their babies.

But just that happened in 2022.

This was the result of a manmade disaster. Overzealous federal government regulators closed baby formula factory production lines down. The result was a catastrophic baby formula shortage.

This is a disaster on one vector, but when a manmade disaster hits, as with the current food shortages and hyperinflation, natural disasters and other secondary disasters do not stop. They just get more difficult due to those food shortages and hyperinflation. So, you need to prepare yourself and your family for these realities.

Even if you can find the food your family needs, the hyperinflation means you may not be able to afford it. Studies show that over 60 percent of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck. That leaves little margin for extras, let alone basics like nutritious food.

But there is hope.

Get to Know your Local Farm Market Now

Do not wait for disasters to multiply. Get to know where your local farmers market NOW so you can use it wisely to mitigate food shortages.

Farmers markets offer fresh, highly nutritious, healthy, hearty, good food at a price that is usually less than grocery stores, big box stores, and certainly convenience stores.

Identify your nearest farm market. Fortunately, the Spring Valley Farm Market (https://springvalleyfarmandorchard.square.site/) is down the road from us. They are a small family-owned farm that produces a large amount of food for other Americans.

Remember: Fresh food from the farm available in your farmers market is good for your health and immunity. Processed food from the factory, usually bad. 

Impact of the War on Fossil Fuels and Farmers

Due to the war on fossil fuels, the food shortages will only get worse. As proof, I offer the example of my brother-in-law and his orchard. He owns a small family-run orchard. Multiply his experience by millions of others of changes that are happening, and you will have an idea of what is going on.

He could not afford fertilizer this year as the cost quadrupled, or sprays as the cost tripled, or diesel fuels as the cost doubled.  All these inputs are necessary for him to produce apples, peaches, cherries, plums, corn, potatoes, asparagus, and other foods that feed other Americans.

And with only around 1% of Americans farming in 2022, you depend on his productivity to make sure your family has food.

He and his family will be fine as they grow all they need on their orchard. As he says, "The government can collapse and all it means to me is I pay less taxes."

But you will not be fine.

You will pay far more for what he is growing. And you will pay even more for what is passed through the middleman that you buy at the grocery, big box, and convenience store.

Study history. The Great Depression in the United States was preceded by a farmers Great Depression for ten years before it hit the rest of the American people.

And the time span for the impacts from his and other farms, orchards, and ranches on your family are far shorter these days.

For this reason, I moved to West Virginia from Maryland to be within one to five miles of food for my family within a few miles.

From my house, I can now buy eggs from 12 farms, fruits, and vegetables from 4 farm markets, meats, chicken, milk and more from the Mennonites, Amish, and other American farmers. 

If you are in a rural area like me there are farmer's markets everywhere. If you are in the suburbs, you are within driving distance of farmers markets. If you are in the city, well, not so much.

I include photos of my local farm market to show you just how healthy, nutritious, and beautiful the fruit, vegetables, bread, milk, and other foods are in this wonderful local market.

Business Continuity Disaster Recovery Plan Outline

Why create and use a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan (BCDRP)?

For the same reason you have a health plan, a car insurance plan, or a home owner’s policy...to prepare for, respond to, and successfully overcome a disaster.  If you experience a major disaster, and man-made and natural disasters happen daily, having a BCDRP may make the difference between your business surviving or going out of business.  

As importantly, having one may mean the difference between who lives and who dies. Think of it as life insurance YOU write that helps ensure that you, your loved ones, your employees, and your business go on.

What follows are some of the major parts of any BCDRP. It is only a guide. 

Every BCDRP must be custom written and tested to your unique needs and circumstances. Use this for ideas of how to create your plan, but make sure you create a plan that reflects your needs.

Disaster Management Plan Purpose

The purpose of the BCDRP is to ensure that a clearly define BCDRP structure and accountable and responsible Disaster Management Team is in place to quickly, efficiently and effectively recognized and respond to any business disruption to:

•         Ensure the safety of our employees and the security of our property
•          Coordinate continuity of high quality service to customers
•          Coordinate communication (both external and internal)
•           Prioritize recovery efforts
•          Activate  the BCDRP
•          Invoke emergency authorization to procure and allocate resources and support

What is a Disaster

•    ·       Anything that causes harm to people or significant damage to property
•          Anything that adversely affects the value or financial survival of the company
•         Anything that disrupts routine business operations or wastes significant management time or financial resources

BCDRP Guiding Principles

Any good BCDRP includes the following tested and proven principles:

•         Describe the business impact
•         Identify impacted stakeholders
•         Identify who does what and when
•         Do not use overly technical information
•         Provide an escalation point for issues and concerns
•         Test the plan and incorporate lessons learned for future plans

In addition, here are some fundamentals your basic plan should cover:

•         Develop and practice a contingency plan that includes a succession plan for your leadership.
•         Train backup employees to perform emergency tasks. The employees you count on to lead in an emergency will not always be available.
•         Determine off site disaster meeting places and disaster communication plans for all your employees.
•         Practice disaster communication with employees, customers, suppliers and the outside world.
•         Invest in an alternate means of communication in case the phone networks go down.
•         Make sure that all employees are involved in the exercises so that they get practice in responding to an emergency.
•         Make business continuity exercises realistic enough to tap into employees' emotions so that you can see how they'll react when the situation gets stressful.
•         Form partnerships with local emergency response groups (firefighters, police and EMTs) to establish a good working relationship. Let them become familiar with your company and site.
•         ·Evaluate your company's performance during each test, and work toward constant improvement.
•          Conduct continuity and disaster recovery exercises to reveal any changes and weaknesses. Technology, personnel and facilities are in a constant state of flux at any company.

BCDR Plan Outline

The most important fact about the BCDRP is that those who need the information can get it quickly, efficiently, and easily. 

One way to accomplish that goal is to separate the plan into two major sections: the plan itself and the material that supports the plan that goes into the appendix. 

Here is a suggested outline that has worked well for many companies.

Disaster recovery planning is the process of creating a document that details how your business will recover from a catastrophic event. These steps include:

•        Create a List of Jobs: Know all the office jobs that would have to be relocated to an alternate location.
•        Create an Inventory Necessary Office Equipment:  For each employee, list only the essential office equipment and furniture that they need to perform their jobs. Remember, in the event of a disaster, space, time and money will be at a premium.
•         Create a Catalog of Supporting Software and Computer Equipment: Create a catalog of the essential office computer software and equipment you use.
•         Identify an Alternate Office Space:  Now that you have a list of people, furniture and computer software, networks and equipment, you will need a physical place to put them. Find several alternative places to relocate your office.
•        Create an Insurance and Budget Document:  After you decide where to put people, you will need to start buying them the stuff they need to do their jobs. Estimate how much each piece will cost to buy or lease. The time spent up front on this task will shave days off of the recovery process because you will be able to provide a list to your insurance agent of what you need.
•        Share It and Store the Plan Off-site: Share your plan with several people and keep it in several places.
• See the table below for a suggested table of contents that should be included in any BCDRP.

Recommended BCDRP Table of Contents

What	Description

Additional Tips

•        Make a list of all your software you may need to replace.
•        Back up all your files.
•         Put your essential files of a thumb drive. You may need them to get restarted.

 Using Social Media to Respond to a Disaster

Increasing, using social media correctly to respond to a disaster is one of the most critical parts of your BCDRP. To ensure your social media presence is ready for a disaster, make sure that you:

•        Have a media plan with the tools, skills and resources to promptly execute your media
•        Have accounts with the right social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) before the disaster
•         Monitor social media before, during and after the disaster
•        Designate one employee to speak for the company through social media outlets because social media is driven by trust in people, not an organization
•         The audience has the tools to investigate, record, and publish, so content accuracy is critical
•        A good response should include negative perceptions and address causes and facts
•        With your posts, tweets, photos etc. a link with more information will always help support your message

Disaster Management Team Roles and Responsibilities

When the Incident Commander convenes the Disaster Management Team (DMT), he or she also authorizes the BCDRP and declares an emergency. Each member of that team has specific responsibilities that are listed below.

Core DMT Roles and Responsibilities

Role	Responsibilities
Incident Commander	Leads the CMT. Provides guidance to the team and is the final decision maker in the case of conflict or lack of consensus.
CMT Coordinator	Assembles the team at the request of the Incident Commander. Schedules meetings, assists with meeting facilities and general support, and completes additional tasks requested by the Incident Commander. Informs other levels for the Incident Commander.
CMT Member	Participate in discussion and take ownership of actions to ensure resolution of issues within their area of expertise.
Note Taker	Documents all CMT meetings to capture discussion points, actions, owners and deadlines.
Social Media Liaison	Social media expert who has preexisting accounts on social media platforms who professionally and accurately communicate with external and internal customers.
Trusted Advisor	Provides detailed specialized knowledge to provide additional capacity.

Tabletop Exercise

Every BCDRP requires a test to prove that it works and to identify areas that need improvement, also known as a tabletop exercise. Each participant undertakes the actions and tasks as they would during a real disaster. 

After the exercise, the team members identify the plan strategies that worked and did not work. Then they identify and implement actions that improve the plan, including adding them to the plan.
