That article points out how we are subjugated by our government - our every movement is controlled by this government - they have total control and we have none.
EXCEPT - the control we have already made for ourselves - as I read that article, I almost kissed my long term food - and don’t tell me the government is going to come take it out of my house. I am an insignificant one person in over 300,000,000 in this country.
I make no splash anywhere around me for anyone to notice. Plus, I have friends in high places in this county and they know I am a nothing except a really old person who “used” to teach election judges/clerks and county chairs about election law. I don’t do that anymore because I AM SO OLD.
The more you can prepare to provide life sustaining supplies for yourself and don’t go running through the streets to tell everyone around you, the more you can control your life and the federal government can go pound sand.
See, if the country totally collapsed, no power, so would government control, collapse. The best item you can get to find out what is happening in your county, our country, and the world, is a Short Wave Radio Receiver. Short wave is going to work.
However, forget getting information from JRandomFreeper’s short wave communications, because he is going to use Morse Code - swell, just swell, no help from him unless you know Morse Code. :o(
All right, I said I was old. Poor people were helped in the 1930s and I don't know how it was done before that, when this started.
I grew up in east Texas, about 8 miles west from Longview, Texas, on Highway 80. My community was called, “White Oak”, and it's now an official town.
Going west on Hwy. 80, for approximately 16 miles, brings you to Big Sandy, Texas. There one would find the official “Poor Farm”. I would hear my parents talk about the “Poor Farm”. Poor people would go there and live there and help raise the crops. It was a joke to say something like, “Don't spend all your money, or you will end up at the Poor Farm.” “If I did ‘X’, I'd end up at the Poor Farm.”
Sometimes, a man would come to our door, white or black, it didn't matter, asking for food, and my Mom would put food in a bag and give it to him. People helped people.
Now, the federal government houses you and gives you cards to buy food or whatever you want, AND GIVES YOU A PHONE. You don't have to do anything to get these cards and phones. I expect, if they were told to go to the “Poor Farm” and work there to raise food, they wouldn't do it. They expect everything to be free - as in, “It is my right for the government to house and feed me and I do nothing for it because it is my right to have it.”
