Things to look for would be unemployment, rumors from people within the banking and financial world (some of those rumors saved people millions when our economy collapsed) crime and what type of crime is taking place, corruption, debt and inflation. You must also become pretty skeptical regarding the information the main stream media provides. Who OWNS such media channels? Who are their sponsors and advertisers? What political agenda do they have or slightly tend to favor? If the media says the economy is doing wonderful but people on the street are barely getting by and you see more industries moving abroad, do have your doubts.
All these events and signs do tell you something. Don’t wait for the official SHTF day, in socioeconomic terms that simply will never happen, you will simply look back one day and realize the world around you has already changed. That is indeed how people will be taken by surprise. People sometimes talk about rule of law and no rule of law times, as if it were an on/off switch. One day everything is fine but the next week, ups!

Yesterday we watched a documentary about the ELF eco-terrorist group, and as I watched how they were treated by law enforcement (blasted in the face w/ pepper spray AFTER being handcuffed, for example), I told my husband, “Someday that’s how Tea Partiers/Conservatives/Christians/etc. will be treated.” I do fear our nation’s law enforcement.

Thanks for the mention!

We had a hail storm that wiped out all our crops.
