Bunkers ‘R’ Not Us: Correcting Boston Magazine’s Take on This Movement
by Chris MartensonThe End is Near, Inc.
This is the title of the recent full-spread article in Boston Magazine about me, my work, and our community. It’s due out in hard print on Sunday with the Boston Globe. It is already available online here.
Unfortunately, the article relies too much on sensationalistic stereotypes and includes some troubling distortions. My chief concern is that the story, told through a very few limited, out-of-context, and edited quotes, paints a picture of Becca and me as doomsayers with a bunker mentality. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We somewhat reluctantly agreed to have our whole family included in this very public article, opened our home for several days for the effort, and are now wrestling with the impacts that will stem from the fact that our best efforts have now been tagged as “The End is Near, Inc.” – an unfortunate mischaracterization that completely misses what we are really about while implying that we do this for the money.

New Martenson Report on Personal Preparation
by Chris MartensonA new Martenson Report is ready for enrolled members.
Link: Personal Preparation – Where to Begin
I am continuing with my thoughts and advice on preparation for a very different future. This time we focus on personal preparation. In this report I discuss many of the changes and actions that we have personally undertaken in my household.
A snippet:
In a recent report entitled It’s Time to Prepare, I walked through the financial preparations that one might take to add greater resilience to one’s holdings and where they are located.
But there is more to preparation that just financial savvy. I have been asked repeatedly to provide some guidance on personal preparation. In this report, I will begin the process of sharing my thoughts and experiences about this subject.

How to pick a safe bank
by Chris MartensonOkay, so you are worried that your bank may be in a spot of trouble, or maybe you just want your money in the safest bank in town. How do you pick one?
One thing you should absolutely do is obtain a $35 report from Veribanc.com called the Blue Ribbon report. You select the report that covers the region in which you live, and then you only consider banks on that list.
