Twenty years ago I would've chuckled at this article.

Today I agree with it wholeheartedly. God help my progeny.

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there’s nothing you can do
It’s all just bits of paper
Flying away from you
Look out world take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the Road to Hell

-Chris Rea

I am not, I am saved by Grace, adopted and loved by God.
Justified, and made Righteous ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE.

Therefore ?

There is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

And ? who can condemn ? for it was GOD who justified us, and sent his very own son to save us.

“U.S. On The Highway To Hell “

And quite by design, mind you.

Two riders were approaching . . . .

Its evident that collapse is inevitable given the real numbers and a spineless congress.

And that is why they want our guns.

They know that is the only way they win.

The demise of the United States means no people anywhere can long govern themselves. It means a terrible new dark age will descend upon the earth. Rats and muslims may fight over the details, but both are demonstrably capable of creating hells on this earth.

There is a need to deal with the deficit and reign in spending but the idea that defense spending can be cut in a time of war is idiotic..if we don't have a country deficits wont matter.

We are at war with a ruthless Islamist enemy who will never give up. We will win or they will win

After the coup by Romney at the RNC today, I do believe it does not matter who “wins” but just how far down and how fast we will fall down the rabbithole.

This is just plumb damn scary. When this happens, look for those who have prepped to be forced to share their food with the masses. And if they object, they will be killed. There will be no wealth to spread around....only food and water.

This explains why the republicans don’t want to win.

Not just governments but most major banks are broke and working on the edge. Most of the largest Mega Banks have derivatives exposures that are 40-50-60 times their total assets, so what happens if Europe does collapse (which is fairly likely) causing them to loose just a modest percentage on those derivatives? ( http://ncrenegade.com/financial/fdic-statistics-read-em-and-weep-ann-barnhardt/ )

Personally I expect something much like the well I think that we are in for something like the collapse of Argentina ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index )but on a global scale.

When you add in the fact that their is a growing concern for social unrest regardless of which way the election goes, the next few months will be like walking a mine field.

Recent events show (Flash Mobs, OWS, etc) we have a large entitlement minded population that is violent prone and armed. I think that during a collapse you will see many small businesses wiped out by flash mob looting, and once started it will quickly spread to rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. You will see what I call ‘pocket pogroms’ and if you ain’t ‘Amish’ you better not be around when they come.

Many of these ‘yutes’ will think no more about killing you than most people think about stepping on a roach. That will be the test of many. Most preppers I know are Christian people and they will hesitate to do what they might have to do to stop the ‘yutes’. On the other hand the ‘yutes’ won’t think twice nor lose a minute of sleep, in fact they will smile and laugh about it.

I can’t help, but think of this quote which is one of my favorites:

“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)” (1998)

Quark: “Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.”

Clearly there’s a storm coming, as great as a hurricane and like you do when a hurricane comes your way you either prepare to weather it or you become a victim of it.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. 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, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, 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.”

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

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.”

What kind of people do you think want to be politicians? Primarily sociopaths.

And will-to-power driven monsters.
