WOULD APPRECIATE INPUTS
WHICH DO
NOT
COMPROMISE OUR TROOPS OR PATRIOTIC CONCERNS . . .
HOWEVER . . . . Many of us have relationships with folks who have occasion to observe fairly public indications of impending grand events.
Given John Bolton's warnings . . .
Given Russia's warnings . . .
Given Cliff High's recently published new edition of his webbot pattern tracking software . . .
Given a list of other such warnings . . .
WWIII appears to be as close as 6 days or so from getting kicked off up to into November as a starting date.
Have you observed anything or do you know anyone who's observed anything which could add to such issues, concerns, speculations?
Given the obvious importance of these issues, I suspect that the FREEPER EXPERTISE could shine well above average in behalf of the prep of all FREEPERS on such scores.
I hope this query is treated as seriously as it deserves to be treated given the stakes.
Well, I have more of the idea that the big “O” is doing it all on purpose.
I think one sign will be an increase in home invasions and an increase in such being stopped by armed home owners.
The increase will not be in terms of tens of thousands, but hundreds, then maybe thousands. The government may very well consider this a crisis and call for, and possibly get, more fire arms restrictions.
But by that point, such events will be indicative of much larger issues going on in the nation.
I own Atlas Shrugged but haven't read it yet. Will be doing so soon.
My
horrific suspicion is . . .
that the powers that be WANT
a major portion of mour military caught by surprise & destroyed just as they engineered Pearl Harbor.
Consequently, I’d expect that MOST military might be as clueless as many civilians.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE THOUGHTS ALONG SUCH LINES???
CERTAINLY OTHUGA FEELS THAT WAY.
THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL RESPONSE.
Sadly, i think that’s what they’ve been doing for decades. Especially the last 1-2.
Now, they are ramping up, imho, for the more ‘festive’ version.
I’d have never thought this country would be so guilty of so many heads in the sand. We’re running out of sand room.
Sheesh.
thanks for your thoughtful response.
People don’t want to think about it.
I talk a lot about this with a friend at work. He’s in his late 40’s, has two kids, one of which is pretty young, and a big mortgage. It is unthinkable to him, even though he acknowledges it is a real threat.
There are plenty of distractions in our culture that allows people to believe they are involved and informed (after all, they watch CNN every night, right?) while all the time subconsciously aware they don’t know. They choose to just “trust the experts”, which is why so many of them actually buy the global warming nonsense. An expert says it so it MUST be true. And you can find an expert that says whatever you want to hear.
I very strongly feel like the world today is analogous to Warsaw Poland in September of 1939. It affects what I consider to be important, and what is irrelevant. It is also why there is a strong disconnect between me and most people these days.
The life of a prophet has never been a happy one. ;)
Oh, lol
Apathy and people are too busy with their own lives.
he had a best friend over who was CIA, worked on computers
we spoke a little, i asked him what he was doing for home defense...he hesitated, I told him I was Marine, that I was stocking up on canned goods and water
he just vigorously started shaking his head yes.
Qx: Anyone paying attention?
THEY

WANT
bro against bro etc. etc. etc. to the max.
Social chaos.
Martial war
extermination camps.
Gotta get that population down to 200 million globally ASAP
The critters have ordered it . . .
for the children, of course . . .
actually to stoke the cells in hell.
About two years ago I began posting “free republic” type information in my local papers as often as possible. I do this with the hopes of being able to educate at least one person who only receives information from the MSM. When I started, I would usually have people debate my comments (i.e. debt, unemployment, constitution). During the past three months, I have not been debated at all and the majority of the comments are in line with a “Freepers” viewpoint. I find this a very telling sign of the mode of the country. You also see similar postings on Yahoo and YouTube which appear to becoming the norm
THANKS.
HOPIUM, INDEED.
THX FOR YOUR KIND REPLY.
I don’t think we share the same suspicions.
I hear it discussed a lot on conservative oriented boards. Folks don’t seem to question the IF part. Most discussions are how and when.
Many folks keep saying “This is America! i.e. it can’t happen here.” I think that is a nervous wish.
THAT’S TRUE FOR A HIGHER PERCENTAGE IN THE SW . . . STILL NOT NEAR ENOUGH A HIGH PERCENTAGE FOR MY TASTE.
“...6 days to 90 days...”
And what further trigger events might get the momentum unleashed?
We meet for breakfast a few times a week and to settle the affairs of the world.
Now people are realizing things they never thought could happen to our society are perfectly plausible.
I HOPE THAT’S TRUE.
THX.
Call me a Pollyanna, but I'm thinking that we're currently seeing the last gasps of the 60s Hippie Generations right now (of which BO is the ultimate end result), and that things will either start to improve, or at least stop sliding. We'll see. Meanwhile, it's not a bad idea to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
History teaches us that in hindsight we can see the seeds of political and societal change in things those living through the events were blind to, and you've hit the target with this. We are indeed in a post-60's era still, and most of what people believe about that time is simply false. Eventually I think the buzz will wear off, and as we move out of this heavily-nostalgic period, we'll see the stardust clear from people's vision.
We may yet live to see enough people say "What were we THINKING?" and things change. Unlike in times past, I believe this will come WITHOUT political leaders doing the leading--the people will lead, and that scares the hell out of progressives, who don't trust the people at all.
The Tea Party deserves to be examined and written about because it has the potential to change the nation. And I don't get worked up about such things, but having a leaderless movement truly is potentially revolutionary, and will bring out the totalitarian impulses in our supposedly free-loving, free-living opponents.
I don’t think they’ll allow a conventional vote . . . I think they are going to light things off before then.
We shall see—I see it as 55% not likely at present, that they’ll allow a conventional SElection.
I think we all need to be seeking God about HIS PRIORITIES FOR US.
INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY.
