If you haven’t already it’s time to prepare. 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, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.

I think that we are at the very least in for a collapse much like that of Argentina’s ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but as a armed society with a very large entitlement minded population our collapse will be much more violent and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and large scale violence (look at what happened just this past Memorial Day weekend)and then there is this is going on in Chicago:”Emanuel said he spoke with McCarthy over the weekend and again this morning about the situation. The mayor said the city’s reputation as a safe place to work and shop downtown is being endangered by the thuggery. Many of the attacks are happening near the biggest tourist and shopping attractions in the city.

But, CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports, the problem of mob attacks downtown is much bigger than the weekend beatings, according to beat cops who wanted to remain anonymous.”

And it’s not just Chicago most major big ‘Blue’ cities are increasingly reporting such flash mobs and gang muggings.

I see what I call ‘Pocket Pogroms’ taking place in many big ‘Blue’ cities and if you aren’t a “0bamamites’ yute” it’s going to get Reginald Denny bad for you very quickly.

For those who haven’t prepared and would like to start or for those that have and are just interested you may download my Preparedness Manual at:

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

I have lived in larger communities during my life. At this time in our nations’ history I am very happy and relieved to be residing on a farm in the middle of BFE.

Didn’t get the garden in this year however (money wasn’t there once we found out the missus is pregnant) but nearby friends have a large garden and we have chickens for eggs so we can barter with ‘em.

” Some good advice here. “

Specifically —

” Incidentally, being “macho” (or even armed to the teeth) does you absolutely no good in such a situation; the only means of avoiding that problem is not being there if it happens. “

Certainly more realistic than the “Horatius at the Bridge” fantasies of some of our number...

KArl may or may not be ‘right’ - but living in a “big” city anytime is like a slow-motion riot.

IF you really want a glimpse of bad

and read about using a search string of
“living in sarajevo” or a variant.

I would suggest that if you believe such a thing will happen, today is the day to start your move. Becasue tomorrow may be too late....

Remind me again what keyword/s to use!

Even Denninger sees this writing on the wall.

"Consider walking...with 10-story apartment buildings on both sides...when the residents in those places have no food, no money, and you've got a bag of groceries."

That...is...the...utterly...coolest..scenario! Karl has totally outdone himself this time.

Not to take the seriousness out of the real possibility or probably of the situation. It’s just the way that he wrote it. Semi-auto firearms with high capacities have become really popular with lefty yuppies for about a decade during the zombie movie craze and all. I wonder what those who read Karl’s latest will buy next? ;-)

Remember the first rules from Zombieland. No, not "double tap." Cardio.

LOL. I'm prepping and meet the 10 points. At the same time, I will never be as prepared as I want to be.

My family has worked very hard to stay out of debt and save for old age. There is the big "poof" coming. I know it.

My Daughter (heading off to a safe college in engineering in August) was watching me practice with my ACP. She noticed I was angry. I did not. I just thought I was being focused. It could have been the couple hundred of dollars of brass at my feet. I guess I have much more to think about. I stopped practicing. She is right. I'm very angry. It is obvious what is going to happen.

"Cardio" is good. "Cardio" is primary for the next few years. I suppose a preppers anger is something that is unique. I hear the bravado, but I'm convinced no prepper is really dealing with the "scenario". I think this may require another thread. Maybe even a private thread. My Daughter was right.

A prepper has to continue to live. Right? I prepped to feed many and stop the "zombies". Next? I guess I'm just rambling. Something to think about. Prepping requires to think about what is next.
