Dear Daily Disaster Diary, January 06 2026


 “The war starts the moment your phone dies and you don’t know where north is.”

PART TWO: THE DRONE COMES FOR YOUR POWER

While you argue online about geopolitics, a drone doesn’t care.

It doesn’t need permission.
It doesn’t need ideology.
It needs coordinates.

Power substations.
Transmission lines.
Heating facilities.

One hit.
One blackout.

Now try to cook.
Now try to charge your phone.
Now try to buy food.

In the forest, civilians learn to make fire with soaked wood, artificial flint scraping useless sparks into wet cellulose. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes failure.

That’s the lesson.

Fire is not cinematic.
Survival is not efficient.
Nothing works the first time.

Someone laughs nervously and admits they thought it would be easier.

Everyone did.



WHAT THE TRAINING ACTUALLY TEACHES (AND WHAT IT DOESN’T)

This is not about soldiers.
There are no weapons.
No shooting drills.
No oaths.

This is about civil collapse.

How to:

  • build shelter with nothing

  • filter rainwater

  • put out an oil fire without killing yourself

  • use a fire extinguisher without panicking

  • revive someone when emergency services don’t arrive

This is not war prep.
This is reality prep.

A burning pot of oil demonstrates how instinct gets people killed.
Someone throws water.
A fireball erupts.

That’s how cities burn.

That’s how myths kill.



THE QUESTION THAT HANGS IN THE AIR

At the end, around a fire that finally burns, people talk quietly.

Not about patriotism.
Not about glory.

About decisions.

Do you flee?
Do you stay?
Do you protect family—or territory?
Do you comply—or resist?

No one answers confidently.

Because no one has ever been forced to answer without a screen before.

Someone says it honestly:
You only know who you are when the moment arrives.

That’s the part no government campaign can package.



THE DIRTY TRUTH

This training isn’t radical.
What’s radical is how unprepared everyone else is.

We taught entire generations:

  • how to swipe

  • how to scroll

  • how to optimize

We did not teach:

  • how to orient

  • how to improvise

  • how to survive systems failing

The war won’t ask your opinion.
It won’t care about your politics.
It won’t wait until you feel ready.

It will arrive:

  • digitally

  • silently

  • efficiently

And the first thing it will take from you
is the lie that someone else will handle it.


yours truly,
