1 - They will confiscate all the personal wealth they can get their hands on.

2 - They will finish turning the country into a totalitarian police state - in the interest of safety of course.

Mexicans will take over my Phoenix neighborhood and break into my house and murder me.

It’s clear that Barack Obama and Congress have no plan to get the dead-in-the-water economy moving. In fact, they appear to be completely incompetent.

Incorrect assumption. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are QUITE competent in destroying us.

The freeways will be kind of crowded with all of the foreign and UN troops zipping around trying to get their hands on our WMD.

Off the top of my head I'm not aware of a major government collapsing absent actual invasion and conquest. Historically, governments do become so inept that their governance becomes almost totally nonexistent.

Now that those people who founded, developed and managed our country until 2008 have abdicated their right to govern we are undergoing an invasion and conquest by Third World denizens. It will be interesting to see if blacks and Mexicans actually come to blows in order to determine who shall take the remaining wealth of the Euro American.

And other countries are in a better position than they were after WW1 and WW2.

Which means they will wave as they pass us by.

Riots, Death, Destruction by simple minded Americans, marshal law, politicians hanging on a rope, a dictator and has control of the military, etc. Need more shi! or are we too dense not to understand this depression will make the 30’s look like a cake walk. Impeach King Obama and get the Senate in 2014 start the turnaround. Might work.

What will happen when the government collapses?

As it has in all ages:

“the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.” - The Declaration of Independence

Look what is happening right before your eyes and take heed. There’s a Great Storm coming you can feel it.

We have enter a time that George Orwell spoke of ‘as a time of universal deceit, wherein telling the truth will be considered a revolutionary act’ or as the bible says a time ‘in which men call evil good, and good evil’.

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

One of the things that will hurt is the fact that many will not except that a breakdown is occurring even as they watch it happening before their eyes. Why don’t they realize it?It’s caused by a condition called ‘Normalcy Bias’ a mental state people enter when facing a disaster.

It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.

A good article on ‘Normalcy Bias’ is on our own ChocChipCookies Blog The Survival Mom:

http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/12/29/normalcy-bias/

You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their ‘serf’. Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.

Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpful. 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.”

Again I like to recomend FReeper’s ChocoChipCookie Blog The Survival Mom (Please Blog Police let this one slide!) Where you can get lots of useful information like:

http://thesurvivalmom.com/2011/11/20/8-morale-boosters-for-any-worst-case-scenario/

http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/02/02/survival-priorities-the-rule-of-three/

And More

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