I’m trying to figure out what is the most likely way that Obama would have his communist-Islamist allies keep him in office for the possible extra 2 years of what he said would be an 8-10-year Presidency. Despite Obama’s best efforts, American citizens are still armed so they would need to use attacks strategically, lest patriots defend the rest of the country while a single square mile of some big city is blown apart. My purpose in thinking it through is so I know how to prepare for my family, and so I know how to try to urge the powers-that-be to FIGHT in a way that could avert these attacks.
I’ve struggled with comfort v realism, and I’ve decided in my mind that each family needs one realist to protect that family and to try to force the government to do their job of protecting us all. Everybody else can live comfortably, and hopefully the bad thing will never have to happen and they will never have lost an hour of sleep over it; their family protector will be the only one losing sleep.
The flaw in that plan, however, is that the government only does its job when large numbers of people are breathing down their necks. I don’t think there are enough people willing to know the truth, for that to ever happen - unless somebody like Trump raises the national consciousness. But that involves forcing more people to see the danger we’re in which is not comfortable at all.
Then there are the riots, food shortages, criminal gangs robbing at will. Who knows if the central and state governments would even hold - they could crumble or worse be ineffectual. Everything works on a JIT system and that system would remain broken for a long time. Power would be something you make yourself.
A few guns ammo and stored rations will only last and work so long - what happens after that stuff runs out?
Do you know how to hunt, trap, build shelters from scratch using hand tools, build a boat, make weapons, find water, grow gardens using non-gmo seeds, know which native plants can be eaten and when and which have medicinal properties and those preparations and uses?
The list goes on. If you have never done any of those things books can help you learn, but only experience works.
