Is there an ‘awakening’ starting to take place?
Are there ‘signs’ being ‘revealed’.
Seems that every day I am seeing the focus changing on many websites, in the news, and on the radio.
Today I got an email from them...
>>> WND Exclusive TESTING THE FAITH
Famed pastor predicts imminent catastrophe
Best-selling author, Teen Challenge founder, sees ‘earth-shattering calamity about to happen’<<<
Ads on their site too like:
>>>New Survival Seed Bank
Lets You Plant A
Full Acre Crisis Garden! <<<
Their dire warnings as they sell a year’s supply of open pollenated seeds include:
>>>Now you can grow all the survival food you will ever need anywhere in the country with a kit that contains a special seed bank of hard to find, open pollinated… super seeds, grown by small, fiercely independent farmers.
Let’s face it. If the stories coming out on the world’s food supply are even half right, we’ve got real problems and they aren’t going to go away quickly. Here are a couple stories that I ran across recently:
* WorldNet Daily cites strong evidence that some government agencies are stockpiling huge amounts of canned food.
* Jim Randas, former U.S. Intelligence officer, appeared on ABC telling Americans to start stockpiling food.
* Grocery store prices are rising faster than any time in U.S. history.
* Worldwide grain stocks are dropping precipitously as bio-fuels consume inventories… and on and on and on.
You don’t have to be an Old Testament prophet to see what’s going on all around us. A belligerent lower class demanding handouts. A rapidly diminishing middle class crippled by police state bureaucracy. An aloof, ruling elite that has introduced us to an emerging totalitarianism which seeks control over every aspect of our lives.
As the meltdown progresses, one of the first things to be affected will be our nation’s food supply. Expect soaring prices along with moderate to severe shortages by spring. If you don’t have the ability to grow your own food next year, your life may be in danger. Supply lines for food distribution in this country are about three days, meaning a dependence on “just in time” distribution systems, which will leave store shelves empty in the event of even the smallest crisis.
Are You Ready To Take Control Of Your Own Food Supply?
Could you and your family get off the grid and survive in a panic? Do you have enough seeds to plant a survival garden and feed your family? Do you have the right kind of seeds to plant? If you’re answering no to these questions, you need to stop wherever you are and ask yourself… “What would I do if the grocery stores closed?” The answer sadly is that you’d probably go hungry.<<<

>>>If you have ever wanted to produce your own cheaper than dirt survival food...this is going to be the most important message you will ever read.<<<
and goes on to tell readers -
>>> As a result, hunger is spreading worldwide. Already, several African nations have had citizens killed in food riots. There is talk that the government in Bangladesh could be toppled over soaring food prices. Food-related tensions and unrest are breaking out in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and South America. Armed soldiers now stand watch over rice distribution in more and more countries. Just a few miles to the South, food riots have broken out in Mexico and Haiti. Estimates are that 33 nations are at risk of conflict and social unrest because of food shortages.
That’s a lot of suffering. And, Americans who know their history understand all to well, suffering tends to bring out the ugly side in human nature. Right now, Americans just change channels when they see others starving on television. But it seems America could be next.<<<
And that is not the only site - dozens of them are starting to sound the alarm...
Seems that the ‘denial’ phase is departing and the ‘panic’ phase is about to begin...
Well, not just the food... Just heard promo for 60 Minutes for tonight.... ‘What happens when your bank fails - - Hundreds are being closed - - Find out what’s happening and surprising way it’s being done.’
Not much confidence building here...

Who is dedicated to our constitutional freedom posting information like:
>>>According to the Army Times, we now have at least 20,000 U.S. military troops deployed within our borders to “help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.” I am not alone in believing that we are just one incident—be it a terrorist attack, a major financial blowout or a widespread natural disaster—away from martial law being declared in this country. And once that happens, the Constitution and Bill of Rights will be suspended and what government officials believe and do, no matter how arbitrary, will become law.<<<
OK, so say it quickly and it loses impact... But - that is an American Soldier for every 5,000 families already being trained for this...
Add in the number of National Guard, Federal, State and Local police... Rough calculations bring it down to an armed force of 1 for every 162 families... With them as the core, bring in the military reserves, and the balance of active duty military of all branches and we are soon faced with an almost desperate situation as a lowly citizen family...
Rutherford Institute further warns:
>>>This danger was made clear in a U.S. Army War College report issued last fall. As Hedges reports, “The military must be prepared, the document warned, for a ‘violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States,’ which could be provoked by ‘unforeseen economic collapse,’ ‘purposeful domestic resistance,’ ‘pervasive public health emergencies’ or ‘loss of functioning political and legal order.’ The ‘widespread civil violence,’ the document said, ‘would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.’”<<<
and ends with:
>>>Right now, all we can do is sound the alarm. Become educated. Form local citizens groups in your community. Educate your neighbors on their rights and inform them about the grave possibilities we face in the event of a government-declared emergency. Keep in almost near-constant contact with your representatives in Congress and voice your discontent. Most of all, stay informed and exercise your right to redress your grievances with the government while you still can.
As abolitionist Wendell Phillips once proclaimed:
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few.... The hand entrusted with power becomes ... the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot.<<<
As a confirmed eternal Optimistic Realist, it is straining my abilities to rationalize what is going on today with optimism... Scary stuff...
So, since confidence is an unrecognized national phenomenon today, all I can say is Prepare, Prepare, Please Prepare!
Maybe I should add - Prepare - Do it with optimism and with confidence that your preparations will be beneficial to you, your family and our Nation!
Well, seed flats need to be seeded - time is a wasting - I will try to think optimistically about the yield, flavor, abundance of what I am planting confident that the skills and resources I have will produce a bumper crop of delicious food...

Interesting, and not surprising.
All of a sudden people are jumping on the band wagon.
Even Alex Jones has an ad on the radio, selling seed collections.
They say it is a recession, when the man next door looses his job.
It is a depression, when you loose your job.
Do you know how to get rid of troublesome bees? I added a roof to part my back deck and now I seem to have bees hanging around. They are very annoying so close to the house and pool.
