We’re Going Into the Greatest Depression: (shortened)
SHTF Plan ^ | 6/28/13 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 06/28/2013 7:26:10 PM PDT by Kartographer

Look around and you can’t miss it.

The world is on the brink… politically, economically, financially, monetarily, and militarily.

Events are accelerating. Over the last decade trend forecaster Gerald Celente has been blaring the alarms.

If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ve heard them. You know we’re going under.

And this time they’re not going to be able to stop it.

Pretending that a Depression is coming is giving out some really poor investment advice.

The highways are packed because people have jobs and are making money. Flights are packed. Cars are selling. Home prices are up 12% nationwide in a year.

Major economic revolutions are in play, such as oilfield fracking, hyper-farming, 3D printing, DNA programming for new medical treatments such as benign HIV for childhood leukemia, Cloud Computing and Storage, Big Data, Web 3.0, electric cars, a private Space Race, and entertainment datastreaming services such as Netflix and HBO Go.

High-paying jobs are going unfilled because SLACKERS are too lazy and spoiled to move to work. Look at www.Rigzone.com for *thousands* of 6 figure jobs for people who don’t even have college degrees, for example.

Productivity is up.

...so the bottom line is that the U.S. economy is looking better each day.

However, a couple of great reasons to Prep are:
#1: MERS. Hyper-contagious new viri could change society overnight. And no, you won’t be able to go buy a handgun or ammo if you wait until cities start getting Quarantined. Hope you already bought some N-95 face masks!

#2: Near Earth Objects. NEOs are being discovered weekly, and two have made some disturbingly close passes to Earth so far this year.

One asteroid impact at the height of the Roman Empire changed History.

NEOs are low probability events, yet they have happened before (Tunkansta) and will impact again. If one hits, society will shift into a different sort of place overnight.

You won’t have electricity.
You won’t have gasoline stations.
You won’t have supermarkets.
You won’t have police response.
You won’t have prescription medicines.

Options for evacuating cities will be limited.

So it makes sense to have some level of preparation.

The one bright spot in the event of Great Depression II is all of this green gloBULL warming windmill and unicorn fart silliness will go out the window when there are multitudes literally starving.

Yep. And there will be no political correctness.

Then again, the sooner it happens, the sooner this country can be rebuilt. That is if you believe it can survive at all.

Yep, we’re in the 5th ‘summer of recovery’. Remember Joe Biden talking about being in a summer of recovery?

“”A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge lays down some fine wine,” “

I agree ;) As I type this, I am enjoying my Spanish red wine, costing me just over $3 per ltr.
Being prepped for minor emergencies is wise and prudent, but stocking up in one location for a civil or natural disaster would be very iffy, depending on the disaster.
My prepping consisted of getting the H out of Dodge.
While disasters can, and do, happen everywhere in the world, I am living where I will not freeze or starve to death, even if I am broke and homeless.
Also, I can flee by land or sea.

Obama is going to “level the playing field” which means Socialism where everyone is poorer [except for the elites]. He will declare global alliances and government “solutions”, and that may be his angle towards never giving up power.

They are gonna have a DQ in the FEMA camps. I will have to swallow a couple more diamonds to pay for that. We all deserve a treat now and then.

While it’s nice to prepare well ahead of time, the date people should prepare for right now is the Zimmerman verdict.

A.K.A., the Bonfire of the Cities . . .

You left out EMP attack, just three or four weapons over the US would send us into a Mad Max Thunderdome world, a year after which only a small percentage would have survived.

Read One Second After. Scary book.

"The world is on the brink… politically, economically, financially, monetarily, and militarily."

Morally, too. If we still had strong national morals and values, we might be able to weather the storm. But we don't -- it's a dog eat dog society, so WTSHTF, expect your neighbors to turn into stark, raving barbarians who will do whatever's necessary to take what you have. Don't hesitate when the moment of truth comes.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

IMHO, When the SHTF silver & gold won’t mean a thing. People will sell their soul for a smoke. They will give up their food, children....They will do ANYTHING they are told to do for a pack.
