You are under assault. There is a very present danger that is facing every American citizen who listens to me right now. Every citizen of this planet who listens to me right now. You are under attack.
This is an assault on you, the American people. This is an assault on your intelligence and an assault on your freedom.
Its about a complete and total dismantling of a nation, a dismantling of a Constitution, and an implementation of control from on high, [from a] dominant financial authority overtaking this planet.
Its not coincidence that Department of Homeland Security and the government in general is picking up all kinds of riot gear.
Its because they know the collapse is coming.
They know the engineered collapse that has been papered over and caused 100 million people to be on the government dole, that has caused trillions of dollars of our future wealth being given to a bunch of bankers.
They know the day of reckoning is coming, and when it does they want 30,000 drones in the air, they want thousands of riot-ready police force on the street, and they want you bickering with your neighbor because you voted Romney, or you voted Obama.
Get it through your head, folks. If you dontt understand it by now time is running out rapidly. You need to understand. There is no change coming with Romney. There is no change coming in term two with Obama.
They dance to the tune of the same people who have not been prosecuted or brought to justice for destroying this planets economy.
There are people dying tonight because of what has happened to this economy on this planet.

Preppers’ PING!!
Reagan was the last and pretty much the only one to launch a counteroffensive against this relentless, long-term assault on our country, freedoms, and values begun in earnest around the 1930’s and amped up by Obama.
The whole worlds economy is a house of cards just waiting for the right zephyr to send it tumbling.
If the present spending continues I dont see how we can avoid a collapse like that of Argentina ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index )but on a global scale.
But the market is up you say, yeah its up using billions in printed money in the hands of corrupted bankers, investors and their cronies. The world is now flooded with fake and faux money. The game is so rigged and now even the house is starting to lose.
When the whole thing tanks as it will what do you think the entiled class will do when they cant get their cell phones, their food stamps and EBT cards, rent vouchers and so forth.
What we will see is a much more violent version of Argentina, something I think much closer to Bosnia. American has become Balkanized and splintered, we no longer share the same basic beliefs we have become pocks of people with little in common with one another.
And many of these pockets are made up of large groups of the entitlement minded and people who believe they are owed much by others and many have already shown that they will use violence to get their due.
I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and see rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. You will see what I call pocket pogroms where yutes will think no more about killing those unlike them than most people think about stepping on a roach. That will be the test of many. Most preppers I know are Christian people and they will hesitate to do what they might have to do to stop the yutes. On the other hand the yutes wont think twice nor lose a minute of sleep, in fact they will smile and laugh about it.
Think of this quote which is one of my favorites:
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8) (1998)
Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. Theyre a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You dont believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
On top of all who knows how many saboteurs (Islamic, Chinese etc) and sleepers have crossed our borders and are now just waiting to cause havoc.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. 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 havent started already its 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.
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
Lastly this for the doubters and the scoffers.
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.
I think we all see this coming. November will tell it all. People think it can’t happen here, but if America falls, the rest of the world follows.
I gotta come up with about 12k before then...
Two big things I need before the SHiFT.
*sigh*. I’m too effing broke to “prep”. I have basic bills I need to pay.
How ironic, 18+ months ago the argument of this kind of statement would’ve been considered just another tin foil hat alarm. Not today and not anymore.
Amen brother. I have trouble prepping for dinner..
I am prepping enough to be able to “sit back and watch the world burn” because I am not sure there will be anything else left to do if Obama gets re-elected...
I’m going to rely on Jesus Christ to multiply what paltry little I have saved and leave it at that. If He took care of my Salvation, why wouldn’t He take care of the lesser gifts.
The best way to prepare for the coming troubles is to get right with God.
Rest assured if they lose all hell will break loose.
Then again, who cares if they burn down their own “hoods”
I dare they darken my doorstep, they will see the front end of a 308.
Don’t let some of the conversations scare you off from prepping - spending an extra $5 per weekly shopping trip will get you off on the right foot...
$5 buys you
*5 pounds of rice (get the 1# plastic bags and store them in old coffee cans or plastic bins)
*5 pounds of beans (ditto)
*2 cans of spam
*2 pounds of iodized salt and a large can of black pepper
*10 bottles of dried onion flakes (look in the 2-for-$1 section of the spices)
**Note - all of the above have virtually unlimited storage life without any particular special handling beyond “cool, dry, space” **
Making these simple, and inexpensive, preparation purchases will put you in the proper mindset, and soon you’ll be finding bargains on additional items to flesh out your stores for little cost....
That’s the way I started, many years ago, and it’s the way I continue to this day....
God moves mountains, but bring a shovel.
What do you purchase for heat for cooking? Sternos? Interested for a possible bad hurricane season.
If you run out of Sternos, I hear that wood works even better.
You know, Kart, I've mentally moved past this election. Sure, I'll vote (not for Romney or Hussein), but however the election turns out, it turns out. Note, I've put “PREPARE” in my tag line because there is the only thing that makes sense to me now.
I don't know when critical mass will be achieved - whether that is in the near future or later on, but I can keep preparing and watching and every prep makes me safer and makes my personal world better.
I don't see any point now in wasting time trying to place blame that brought about this country's destruction. Massive debt is the reality and it will surely sink the country. War in a strategic area will hurry the sinking.
I think each of us has to be able to create our own good personal world when the rest of the country falls apart. I know your personal world will be fine and other preppers will also have good personal worlds.
What else is there to say - PREPARE.
For short-term use, I’ve got a single burner Coleman Stove that snaps right onto a a small Coleman butane tank.. I got both in Walmart sporting goods - if memory serves, it was less than $10 for the burner, and around $2.50 each for the tanks (which, when I tested it, lasted for about a week of normal cooking...)
Other options that I have for longer-term use is a 2-grate cast iron hibachi (you can burn wood chips or small wood pieces, after you run out of charcoal), and, since I live in the country, I can build a cook-shack around/over a wood fire-pit...
The trick is to get out of the “what can I buy” mindset and train yourself to look at the resources you have around you with an eye towards improvising, in extremis.... ;)
