Good comment by Wolverine.
It is interesting that we began the 21st century with the Y2K alarm. It was a false alarm, but at least it brought into focus the circumstances that would surround a real crisis. We should all get into survival mode.
One thing that the author did not discuss is the formation of a new currency, or NUSD’s. A debt holiday for all and a reset to the economy like occured in Brazil. There are solutions, but they all involve the end of US Hegemony, which is not a pretty thing to think about. The only thing that has prevented the world from entering a new dark ages for the past 100 years is the US, like it or not. Without us around anymore, who’s going to lead, China. The frightening aspect of that notion may be enough to get the world to cut us some slack.
While I agree with the author’s premise, I call it, “The Great Unraveling,” and I agree that it is likely, it is not a certainty. Comparing US to Russia is not accurate. Also, we have lots of guns and gold. So time will tell. I personally have stocked up on “junk” silver, old pre 1964 coins that still have intrinsic value. I have fantasized many times going into a grocery store and paying for a loaf of bread with a silver dime.
I agree, we seem to be going from the bottom up.

52% did. The 46%-47% that didn't has probably 85% of the guns in civilian hands (at least the long guns, and most particularly the battle rifles and carbines). The new SA will find themselves in some "interesting" situations if they go too far.
Yeah, but back then we had morals.
I understand your statement as I have said the same thing. However, I was reminded that in the very first family on earth the oldest son murdered the younger — 25% homicide rate. From the beginning of time there has been rampant debauchery.

That’s going to look like a picnic compared to what is to come
Yeah, it is going to be funny to watch the obama voters long for the days of George Bush.
It appears you may not have spent any time in our inner cities lately. Whole neighborhoods where residents cannot leave their homes after dark, and no one, not cops, not government, not citizens, nobody, lifts a finger to restore order.
Joe Biden knows.

Yah, I know, he watched FDR explain it on TV back in ‘29
Great post, but have to ask about this line: “We don’t have a gun - yet.”
Unless you doubt your ability to use one if needed, I strongly suggest you get one soon. Like this weekend. An inexpensive Mossberg pump action 12 ga. can be had for less than $200 and is a good first choice home defense/hunting weapon.
“Cancel all welfare and SS payments week 1. Empty the local grocery store shelves week 2. By week 3, your city will be burning and the cross sub-cultural violence will have killed thousands.”
Bingo.
This is why the 2nd is so important. It’s a last ditch guarantee.
We’re thinking about the gun - hubby is not so keen on the idea with the kids in the house. Our Cub Scouts have more firearm experience than we do - our 10 year old is an excellent shot! It would also be nice to be able to hunt if we needed to - I’m trying to convince him.
I stocked up for Y2K also, and took a bit of ribbing for that!
