We are prepping in a non militant fashion, but have friends who are not only stock piling, but arming themselves to the teeth.

The likely truth is that if we do not clean out congress somehow and take control of the senate our society will be split into two factions; one looking to take what they need and one working to defend what they have.

Without reading that, there indeed are strong reasons that this will be FAR worse.

In the 30’s, there were more family farms and even city people had gardens.
In the 30’s, people actually knew how to “do stuff”, not now.
In the 30’s, people didn’t have as much of an entitlement mentality. When the stuff stops coming from the government, they’re going to look to see who has “their stuff” and come try to take it.

Best preparation : learn and master one or more viable skills ( ie: plumber , electrician , mechanic , etc. ) , and prepare to enter the world of bartering .

Learn to grow your own food with gardening skills , especially non-hybrid seeds .
Be willing to adjust , adapt , overcome , and survive.

If you want to see what the Russians and the third world thinks is important , view ‘live journal’ out of Russia , where there are as many pictures of food as there are of people.

These “preppers” should ALL be arrested , their food stockpiles distributed to the homeless, their guns conficated [sic]. Start with the people on the survivalist blogs.”

Sound like someone got an internet butthurt.

I wish I could get some of my closer family members to understand this. Everyone is written off as a nutjob until it actually happens.

It is our Idiot in Chief’s “fairness” mentality.

Intelligence, talent, and hard work, are not to be rewarded.
Neither is preparedness or planning ahead.

It is pure COMMUNISM!

We have been preparing for this as soon as Obama and his communist friends took over the country..So we have been stocking everything..My husband is a retired military and also a man of all trades he can fix anything..along with Bartering with our neighbors we will be good for a few years..We live in the best state in the union..Texas..people here are very friendly but like the old saying goes “Don’t Mess With Texas”

The Freeloaders live in the bigger cities..When the government checks stop coming they will start robbing and killing so that is when all of us will be under attack..

JRandomFreeper~:” These “preppers” should ALL be arrested , their food stockpiles distributed to the homeless, their guns conficated [sic]. Start with the people on the survivalist blogs.”
“Sound like someone got an internet butthurt.”

No ,.. it is pure and simple , covetness .
I am reminded of a written article after ‘Hurricane Sandy’ whereby the writer was upset as he didn’t have electrical power. He obcessed about how those people who have generators should ‘share ‘ with those who didn’t have power , or , have their generators taken away .

Being prudent and thinking ahead is not to be rewarded according to that writer .
He was jealous and coveted other’s preparations.
He could have purchased an generator , but lacked the insight or the ‘need’ until after a catastrophy had already occurred.
He wanted them to share in his misery !!
That’s what happens in Socialism ~ steal from the successful !!

Love this, have seen it before. My question is who is going to do the CONFISCATING? I wish one of our pundits would ask that question and see the stammering start from the liberals.

LOL! It won't be my local constabulary. They like going home at the end of the shift, not to mention they respect their oaths.

I think it was Kartographer who said : “ If you can’t protect it , you don’t own it “.

In the forthcomming days of America becomming an “Obamananna Republic” , you will need to protect your posessions .
How are you going to do that ? ..with a slingshot ?
Prepare now ...

Many preppers are preparing for an economic collapse and the subsequent social collapse that will be close behind.

No matter what causes the disaster, a financial collapse will ensue.

Money systems end all the time. The end of this one is long overdue.

Without government interference, people bounce back remarkably fast. Compare Berlin 1945 - Detroit 1945 and Berlin 2012 - Detroit 2012.

The end of money is bad - but the descriptions of the horrors that follow are overstated.

Be prepared is good advice.

A similar experience occurred after Hurricane Katrina struck the East Coast in October.

???? I must'a missed that one!

Our Constitution garentees [sic] us the right to bear arms, but not to stockpile an arsenal.

Ya see...now I've read the thing more than a few times. I just can't find that kind of language in there at all. I'd like to be directed to the article or amendment that states anything about an arsenal.
