We were told that 2021 would be the year when everything starts to get back to normal. But that hasn’t exactly been the case, has it? It has been just over a month, and there is still chaos everywhere. We have seen a wild riot at the U.S. Capitol, civil unrest has been erupting in major cities from coast to coast, millions of people have filed for unemployment benefits, a president was impeached, and a crazy ride on Wall Street made “GameStop” a national phenomenon. That would normally be enough for an entire year, but we are still in the first week of February.
All throughout history there have been critical turning points when events have greatly accelerated, and it appears that we have reached one of those turning points.
In fact, this may be turn out to be the biggest turning point of them all.
Millions upon millions of Americans can sense that big trouble is ahead. For many, it is like a “gut feeling” that they just can’t shake.
Just a few days ago, my wife met a woman from the west coast that just moved here. This woman and her husband were desperate to leave California, and they felt very strongly that they should move somewhere safe.
What makes her story remarkable is the fact that my wife and I have heard similar stories from others countless times over the past 12 months.
Our nation is being shaken in thousands of different ways, and so many of us can feel that things are building up to some sort of a grand crescendo.
So that is why so many Americans are stockpiling guns, silver and food right now.

Neither are men, women and children.

I’d advise anyone to relocate away from the west and east coast states.

Because The Constitution is dead.
Because tyranny has come to power.
Because the Dollar is collapsing.
Because the Food Distribution System is breaking.

The nation has collapsed.
Traitorous troops patrol DC while our borders are wide open.
We are standing midway on the cattle car ramps.
May God damn the National guard on DC.

The message is clear. There is no law, there are only political crimes for those who are the wrong side of powerful people.
Everything is permitted except agreeing in even the slightest way with the policies of Donald Trump. Then you're a prime target for destruction. Otherwise, do whatever you want.

Nope. 22lr - the ultimate barter item. You'll be able to buy anything with it, use it in poker games, and as tips. Good for the smallest barter and a brick will get you very happy. Nobody is going to part with their .223 and you don't go showing or talking about any thing larger or you'll be jacked.

So which Naps is this...??
The dad or the mom?
To: Roman_War_Criminal
Because we can!
In 6 months we won't be able to.
That is rather the point!
