McGrath: “Somebody In Government Is Afraid Of What Is Coming”

SHTF Plan ^ | 10/9/13 | Mac Slavo

[Kartographer]

We’re talking scenarios much more severe than the Great Depression.

But this isn’t just happening in America. Switzerland recently engaged in war games that simulated an economic collapse scenario, as well as an invasion by bankrupted nations and millions of refugees. In 2011, the British government developed plans to evacuate their citizens from European countries in expectation of monetary and economic crisis.

The exercises and drills may be compartmentalized so that most who are partaking in them don’t really know why, but there are those in the higher echelons of power that know very well what the end game is going to be.

None of this is a coincidence.

If you aren’t taking steps to prepare for a new paradigm – one plagued with destitution, riots, starvation and bloodshed – then you are going to be a victim of what’s coming.

Gordon Brown is right. When the economic system breaks down or the dollar collapses food, fuel, and medicine will be nearly impossible to acquire. The experience of Greeks, who saw this first hand, is a perfect example.

The only option for the government at that point will be to control the looting and violence that follows by declaring Martial Law and locking this country down.

OK, so who’s Tonto? ;-)

You must also hate the founding fathers that left their countries.

By the way, who are the founding fathers that left their countries?

No [sic] you can not [sic], but I do far more by explaining to foreigners just how filthy and disgusting Obumbo is.

I still vote, [sic] and I am doing far more then [sic] you are.

Except using correct English.

On your "It's Good To Be King" YouTube video, a guy posted "whenever I strip down for sex this music plays out of nowhere."

I'm still laughing at that one. Another good one from Conan The Barbarian is Bolero.

You must also hate the founding fathers that left their countries.

The eight of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence that were born in Wales (1, Francis Lewis), Scotland (2, James Wilson and John Witherspoon), Ireland (2, George Taylor and Matthew Thornton), Northern Ireland (1, James Smith), or England (2, Button Gwinnett and Robert Morris)?

Let's look at what these guys did in their new land:

Button Gwinnett (1735-1777)—After the Governor died in 1777, Button Gwinnett served as the Acting Governor of Georgia for two months, but did not achieve reelection. His life was one of economic and political disappointment. Button Gwinnett was the second signer of the Declaration to die as the result of a duel outside Savannah, Georgia.

Francis Lewis (1713-1802)—Francis Lewis was one who truly felt the tragedy of the Revolutionary War. His wife died as an indirect result of being imprisoned by the British, and he lost all of his property on Long Island, New York during the war. When his wife died, Lewis left Congress and completely abandoned politics.

Robert Morris (1734-1806)—Robert Morris has been considered the “Financier of the Revolution,” and contributed his own money to help such causes as the support of troops at Valley Forge and the battles of Trenton and Princeton. In 1781 he suggested a plan that became the Bank of North America and was the Superintendent of Finance under the Articles of Confederation. Morris was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and was later offered the position of Secretary of the Treasury under the administration of George Washington. He declined the position and suggested Alexander Hamilton who became our first Secretary of the Treasury. He served as a United States Senator from Pennsylvania from 1789-1795.

George Taylor (1716-1781)—George Taylor came to the colonies as an indentured servant and eventually was an Ironmaster at the Warwick Furnace and Coventry Forge. He was a member of the Continental Congress from 1775-1777. He returned to Pennsylvania and was elected to the new Supreme Executive Assembly, but served for a very short period of time because of illness and financial difficulties. His Durham Furnace manufactured ammunition for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.

Matthew Thornton (1714-1803)—Matthew Thornton served as Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, was an Associate Justice of the Superior Court and was elected to the Continental Congress in 1776. He was one of six members who signed the Declaration of Independence after it was adopted by the Continental Congress. He left Congress to return to New Hampshire to become an Associate Justice of the State Superior Court. He spent his remaining years farming and operating a ferry on the Merrimack River.

James Smith (1719-1806)—James Smith was elected to the Continental Congress on July 20, 1776 after the votes had been taken on the resolution for independence and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. From 1779-1782 he held a number of state offices including one term in the state legislature and a few months as a Judge of the state High Court of Appeals. He was also appointed a brigadier general in the Pennsylvania militia in 1782.

James Wilson (1742-1798)—James Wilson was elected to the Congress from 1775-77 and 1785-87, chosen to be one of the directors of the Bank of North America in 1781, a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and appointed by President George Washington to be an Associate Justice to the US. Supreme Court from 1789-1798. He experienced personal and financial difficulty in his later years and spent time in debtor’s prison while serving on the Supreme Court.

John Witherspoon (1723-1794)—John Witherspoon was the only active clergyman among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was elected to the Continental Congress from 1776-1782, elected to the state legislature in New Jersey from 1783-1789 and was the president of the College of New Jersey from 1768-1792. In his later years he spent a great deal of time trying to rebuild the College of New Jersey (Princeton).

I’m afraid you are right. I hope we can eek out more than another 2 or 3 months a couple of years would be nice. But that would take some people willing to do more than get in front of the tv camera and utter slogans.

[greeneyes]

I know that chocolate candy will get old. The oil/cocoa butter will turn rancid, as will the nuts if there are nuts in the candy bar. Milk chocolate has the added problem of milk which also shortens the shelf life.

You can use semi sweet or bitter chocolate, and candy bars for about 18 months. Most will have an expiry date. Puting them in Mylar bags with O2 absorbers or a mason jar and vaccum out the air should help improve the storage time somewhat. Keep in cool dry place.

I have read that M & M s will last longer than regular chocolate, but have no first hand experience. Likewise your hot chocolate mixes have the issue of the milk which will taste funny shortly after the best buy date.

So I only purchase that kind of stuff in the amount I know we will use for that 12-18 months. The vaccum packed long term #10 cans have chocolate milk that will last for 10 years, so that’s what I have for the long term bought a couple of cases.

The thing I am buying the most right now is just regular baking cocoa. That stuff seems to last for ever. I had some opened that got lost at the back of the cabinet for five years. It works fine for chocolate cake, hot chocolate, fudge, frosting, etc.

You can make your own chocolate candy, but you’ll have to have fat. Bottled oils vary in their best by date about 1-2 years. However, lard can be stored a long time, though not in the way they package it these days.

But if you melt the lard and put it in sterile mason jars and let it cool and become solid, you can use a vaccum attachment to vaccum out the air, and that will last practically forever. Might work for crisco solid shortening too.

Any way for long term storage, I keep it to one ingredient per package so that I can stock up more on the stuff that lasts the longest.

Since the crop failure was this year, I hope to stock in about a year’s worth maybe 2- will buy replacements as I use it and find it on sale. I am hoping that will give enough time for the cocoa harvest to get better, and then the prices will come down a bit. Like the peanut butter did.

By the way, I grew peanuts this year. Now I can make my own peanut butter. Cocoa? No way where I live to grow it.

[greeneyes]

I also have stocked up a bit on the hot chocolate packets, but they won’t taste that great after the best by date, due to the milk.

For longer term storage I buy the unsweetened powdered baking cocoa. That can be used to make chocolate candy, hot chocolate, fudge, chocolate cake, frosting etc.

I have a number of recipes for homemade granola bars, and the ingredients to make them. I like these for prepping for the electric outages. Just open up and eat the peanut butter, granola bar and a little hot chocolate is kinda heavenly when the weather is cold, and you can’t cook for whatever reason.

I bought a coffee grinder on sale a few years back, and I use it to grind wheat from my garden to add to regular flour that I purchase in #10 cans by the case. I also have a hand mill that grinds even finer in case I want to increase the amount of whole wheat.

I save the clear plastic soda jugs for water. I use the milk jugs for disposable planters in the summer, and take what I can’t use to the recycling center. They will deteriorate fairly quickly if they are outdoors, so I only use them for stuff for about 6 months or so.

I am really bad about wanting to save stuff just in case I think of something I can do to repurpose it or something. Of course I even recycle my garbage-it goes into the compost pile to use next spring when the gardening season is about to start in earnest.LOL

And the Jonny Quest theme opening music and combined clips.

No cartoon show ever came close to that.

If you go to wikapedia they point out that one short segment in the show closer was never used in an episode, it was the one with the black African natives chasing throwing spears at Quest jet.

As a kid every time I saw that closer I wondered what show that clip was in and why I never saw it.

[MaxMax]

Back in 2007 there was the same feeling in the air about imminent danger and
my friend who was in Commercial land sales predicted the bubble and prepared for it.
We were not sure what would happened so we prepped all around including keeping
finances liquid just before the bubble burst that first time. He has since passed and
since 2012 that feeling and look from people has returned.

Look into the eyes of strangers and you'll see fear of something coming, something
they don't even understand themselves. Imminent danger and a sense of urgency.

I believe that the socialization of our healthcare system was meant to prep us
all for the institution of the one world government that's been in the planning
for the last century. The only problem is that the USA must lead the way to the world to make
it happen, and we're fighting back, and it isn't working, yet. They will never give up.

The departments of our Government are buying ammo and armored vehicles as
they become available while officers are dressing up like soldiers in the field
to attune us being accustomed to having military on our streets. Look around.

The Giant NSA databank in Utah will be the heart of the beginning and thanks to the fires
and problems they've been having their takeover is being postponed, but only temporary.
I honestly believe it's being sabotaged internally by people who want to prevent
it's success. That wouldn't be hard to do from inside either.

Something is coming and my gut wasn't wrong then, and it's not wrong now. How bad
the tsunami will be is up to America, and how hard we fight back against the wave of
socialism and eventual teardown of society to force implementation.

And I never would've thought that in a million years America would institute national
Socialism on the American people, either..

An Angel after me own heart ...

[yorkiemom]

Thanks for all the great information greeneyes. Especially on cocoa and lard. I wonder if I can can lard like I do butter...since I don’t have a vacuum sealer.

[greeneyes]

I have never canned butter. How do you do it? I suspect that if it works for butter, it would work just as well for lard. Make a batch and see?

Let me tell you my granny owned a restaurant, and her cook always made the very best tasting pie crusts with lard.

[yorkiemom]

Canning butter is not approved by the FDA. Neither is canning bacon, but I love to do both when I find a good sale! And everybody here is still alive and well. Let me look at my better Canning procedure for you and I will copy and paste it to you, probably early next week since I need to be off the computer for a while now due to some tendinitis and stuff...

[greeneyes]

OK. Thanks.

[Lazamataz]

You, sir, are insightful. And yes, everyone feels the quake, and is anticipating the tsunami. Even people who I view as very level-headed expect the 'end times'.

Good observation on the NSA fires as well. If only more were as patriotic.
