You may have noticed that things are starting to get crazy. Financial markets are imploding, violent crime rates are soaring in our major cities, and we have witnessed a truly unusual series of natural disasters in recent months. War in the Middle East continues to rage out of control, and Islamic terror continues to spread all over the globe. And many believe that 2016 is going to be a year of political shaking, civil unrest, governmental crackdowns and great economic chaos in the United States. All it is going to take to plunge our society into full-blown panic mode is a major "trigger event" of some sort. Another 9/11, a new “Lehman Brothers†moment, a massive EMP burst from the sun or a historic seismic event are all examples of what this "trigger event" could look like.
So are you ready for what is about to happen to America? In previous articles, I have urged my readers to focus on the five basics – food, water, shelter, energy and self-defense. If you focus on those five things, you will probably be in pretty good shape during any major disaster or emergency.
In this article, I want to dig a little deeper and give people some more specific tips regarding what they can do to prepare for the times that we are now entering. The following are 70 tips that will help you survive what is going to happen to America…

that’s alotta tips; don’t think i can rememberthem all; guess i’m doomed.
Killing those trying to kill you is what I call making a living.
Pinging for readiness.
I read or at least skimmed the list.
It strikes me as better than a lot of lists but as with any list you have to adjust it to your own situation.
I particularly like the one about getting to know your neighbors.
The bug out bag is probably not applicable to me as I live where I will stay in a very rural area. Actually I have one anyway but it is more of an emergency bag where I store a lot of things I might not have otherwise.
Having several years of food is obviously a good idea but for someone living on a low retirement income, it is not feasible.
71. Alcohol: For personal consumption and trade.
How about everybody quit thinking about survival and more about doing WHAT IS NECESSARY to restore the rule of law.
And no, chatting on a forum and even, gasp, voting isn’t going to be enough.

I’m going to run out of writing room on the back of my hand.
70 tips?
Or 70 clicks?

When does the world end? I need to know so I buy survival supplies with an expiry date after the end of the world. I don’t like to waste things.
I like the suggestions he gives in this article, and maybe because I have taken so many of the steps myself and agree I should take others. I like his statement that no plan ever unfolds perfectly, and you need a back-up plan and to be flexible during the years ahead. The one thing I keep trying to remind myself as a Christian is that ultimately I need to trust in Him to muddle through.
I also think so many people are going to unprepared because they have accepted such a distorted view of the American Dream. On July 4 we recognize the Declaration of Independence which defines the American Dream as inalienable natural rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution establishes a government to secure those rights by promoting the general welfare, and the blessings of liberty.
Whatever he Constitution further defines is subservient to natural human rights independent of and superior to any government construction. Most importantly they are intangible property sourced in personal opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only by application of these inherent rights can one truly hold material things.
The American Dream never meant government largess ensuring home values, college funds, retirement accounts, savings, executive severance packages, affordable healthcare, homeownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.
Politicians become patricians offer enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to rules vastly increasing their power. Legislation routinely negates our Bill of Rights confiscating freedoms for apparitions of material prosperity.
You can actually do both.
I plan on voting for Cruz if I can. I would even vote for Trump over Hillery or the Communist. Some of the other Republicans are not much different from the Dems.
Hillary or the communist . . . Ummmmmmm
You have to survive first.
The time between a collapse and the point where the so called rule of rule can even be discussed may be quite a while.
What amazing wisdom you have!
Everybody has an expiration date.
