Preppers’ PING!
Someone should run a tv commercial titled “Dawn in America”.
Scary..... “I’m here from the givernment and I’m here to help”..
What we are witnessing is the byproduct of Centralization; the idea that one big giant entity run by one all-powerful bureaucracy is better than a bunch of much smaller entities run by local organizations.
This is the natural end result of over 100 years of collectivist/"progressive" policies and brainwashing. It is a foreign disease, brought to America's body politic in the late 1800's and showing its real strength for the first time in the disasterous year of 1913 - when we got the Fed and the income tax foisted on us, and the state selection of Senators taken away. Education is the only way to reverse these things, but with the collectivists in charge of most of education and the media, that is nearly impossible. Thus, we are largely screwed.
Even if the thinking changed 180 degrees, we have such an impossible fiscal situation that it is pretty much mathematically impossible to fix it, meaning that we'll have a situation in which our financial system will collapse, bringing on a change in government like they are used to having in other parts of the world (i.e. an overthrow of the present order, replaced by one kind of dictatorship or another). Preps, people, preps - and don't be the nail that sticks out, because we know what happens to them.
Thanks for the article. Commentary at the article’s site was pretty interesting.
