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.

Fighting off big violent mobs?
Being in a structure, house etc, is that last place you’d want to be if and when the violent mobs come, regardless of how well armed up you are.
Don’t believe me, just look at what these small swat teams, made up of only a dozen or so people, do those inside the structures. Trapped like rats come to mind. The big losers are ALWAYS those hunkered down in structures. They’re trapped.
Here is our initial discussion:
I wrote:
Surprisingly, you will still have to pay that debt during a collapse.
You wrote:
How do ya pay when the financial institutions are closed, no Internet, no gas etc? Will they be expected to write a check out, and walk 30 miles to deliver it to an empty building?
***************************************
And that is not what the situation was in various countries that had experienced a collapse. Debts were still owed and had to be paid. Just like what happened in 2008 here-only worse.
Banks shut down temporarily in these countries. But they still had banks and you were not allowed to withdraw all your money and you still had to pay your rent, or mortgage or whatever. And the surviving banks acquired the assets(loans due to the bank) of the other banks.
And in places like Venezuela, and Argentina, there were still banks. And there was an exchange of silver and other valuables to get the currency dictated by the government in order to buy what little was left to buy in stores.
And the hyperinflation was such that the prices of the merchandise was changing so fast it was different by the time you went back to pay for it.
And if government still allows you to own property, you still have to pay the taxes and if you don’t have something like silver or gold to protect against inflation, you may not be able to.
To be clear. Shelter, Water, Food, Medicines, and guns and ammo are all important. If possible, the shelter needs to be protected-and old people especially aren’t likely to be able to bug out to the woods and survive.
So just leave it at that. You go do whatever the heck you want based on whatever you want.
All I tried to do was point out that it was not totally realistic to think that an economic collapse would mean you get out of debt free.
These things can be used to barter for toilet paper!
Toilet paper is nice but it’s not at the top of the list as an essential.
*****************************************************************************
🤣 For some reason that reminded me of Marcella. She used to talk about keeping all her old phone books in case she ran out of toilet paper. And she bought those flushable wipes because they took up less space than Toilet Paper. We had some good times reading her stories.
LOL! You go ahead and hang on to that belief. But the fact is, in national big event/total collapse, those who feel they're owed will be lucky to survive.☺
If the mobs or one side ever wins and this government collapses, feel free to run around tell everyone they still owe money, then try to collect money they don't even have.☺ Good luck!
If the silver is pure enough, it can be used to make colloidal silver.
There is a lot of debate over whether or not colloidal silver works as an antibiotic when taken internally. But there is no debate over the fact that it works as an antiseptic/disinfectant when used externally.
2 pieces of 99.999% pure silver can give you many gallons of high-powered disinfectant. I’d call that valuable.
I bet you don’t have a pot to piss in 😂 ...
I’m just telling you what happened in other countries.
So you think that you are just going to live in you home without paying off the mortgage, and eventually no one is going to come along and evict you?
Well maybe the USA will be an exception to the history of what has happened in other places. You go right ahead and believe whatever you want.
you=your
You don’t like my responses, so you attack me personally. How leftist of you! ☺
Oh, oither countries where the people are totally unarmed?
Hey, you started it. If you can’t run with the big dogs best stay on the porch 😉....
You really think that there are not people who have guns in other countries? SMH lots of illegal ownership according to what I read.
You can’t eat gold and can’t harvest food with it.
Ammo and canning supplies and a garden will get you much further.
C’mon. Gun ownership is nothing like it is in the USA. This isn’t even debatable.
No I didn't attack you personally in such a juvenile manner as you did above. That's why you didn't quote me attacking you. And if ya don't think I can't, "Run with the big dogs" as you suggested, keep attacking and just try me.☺
Stop beating the dead horse. Go bother someone else.
Don’t be prepared to pay any debts. Continue to believe that you have a get out of debt free card. If you are right or wrong it ain’t no skin off my nose.
Stop beating a dead horse? I am not responding to myself. If you can’t handle an exchange, involving pertinent legitimate comments, I suggest you stay off the Internet.
Right back atcha.
Very rustic, but....does the trick!
Here are some more permanent fixture ideas.....
