Preppers’ PING!!
PING!
Look what is happening right before your eyes and take heed. There’s a Great Storm coming you can feel it.
Listen to what the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV Proverbs 22:3
One of the things Selco covers in this article is the fact that many will not accept that a breakdown is occurring even as they watch it happening before their eyes. Why don’t they realize it? It’s caused by a condition called ‘Normalcy Bias’ a mental state people enter when facing a disaster.
It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
A good article on ‘Normalcy Bias’ is on our own ChocChipCookies Blog The Survival Mom:

You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their ‘serf’. Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.
Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpful. You can download it at:
http://tomeaker.com/kart/Preparedness1j.pdf NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!
For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, cash Imyself have been putting up change for the past few years both for the metal content and the fact that using change places you down the the list of possible marks during shtf, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Again I like to recomend FReeper’s ChocoChipCookie Blog The Survival Mom (Please Blog Police let this one slide!) Where you can get lots of useful information like:

And More
Also there is Ferfal’s Blog a survivor of Argentina’s first collapse:
And there is Selco’s Blog a Bosnian War survivor at:
“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger. Underestimation can be fatal.”
This is going to get very bloody, in my opinion.
6) Because there is no other acceptable alternative.
7) Because the ballot box don’t work anymore?
Good videos embedded at the link. I like how the statists are now calling patriots “hateriots.”
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
You’re not paranoid if they really are out to get you.

Thanks K
Please put me on the Prepper’s list.
I don’t think TSWHTF, but it is clear that the foundations of our lives has been upended by the kenyan — forever.
And, as I have said (not in jest) — Prep is good in ANY circumstance. Too many disasters happen and then, instead of working it out, people put their hands out for that $2K EBT!
My life in L.A. (Earthquake Zone and there for the Sylmar, Malibu, Whitter Narrows and 3 miles from the epicenter of Northridge) have taught me to be prepared. Now that the governments have decided that they are as unsteady as So. Cal, we need to add financial Armageddon as a very possible/probable scenario.
Your threads are always useful. I now feel they are imperative.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..
“and to SECURE these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers by the consent of the governed...”
Almost ALL laws any more are “You can’t do yada yada...” or “It’s unlawful to own whatever...” the list of pages in the Federal Register is literally hundreds of thousands of pages per year.
My favorite Bible passage of late to describe the world as I see it.
