Truth. I traded in my BMW and am sporting a 2002 ford w 100k miles, and living bare bones.
did you forget your meds today?

I agree with everything post #5 was about!
Exactly right!
“When a full 50 percent of Americans pay no tax, well...”
Soon 50% of Americans won’t be earning income anyway...
Yeah, whatever. If that makes you feel ‘whole’ then sure. Name calling does not alter the facts. You have a few dozen clues. You offended this one, move on...
Invest in lead, brass, and cold steel, long term food, water treatment equipment, good sturdy boots clothes, tools, seed, learn to garden, sew, cook from scratch (a person that can make donuts and other sweets will be able to trade for a lot of stuff), trade goods like liquor, tobacco, sugar, coffee,.22 ammo.
What is coming isnt going to be pretty.
I think that we are in for at least something like the collapse of Argentina ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index )but from the look of things it may even be on a global scale. Additionally I think we will see a much more violent version. As recent events show (Flash Mobs, UK riots, etc)we have a larger entitlement minded population and a the US has a much more violent and armed population than Argentina. I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and see rape, robbery and murder for murder sake. Many of these yutes will think no more about killing you than most people think about stepping on a roach. That will be the test of many. Most preppers I know are Christian people and they will hesitate to do what they might have to do to stop the yutes. On the other hand the yutes wont think twice nor lose a minute of sleep, in fact they will smile and laugh about it.
Think of this quote which is one of my favorites:
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8) (1998)
Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. Theyre a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You dont believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Now go look at some of the videos of the riots in the UK and of some of the flash mobs here in the US and look into there eyes.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:
http://www.tomeaker.com/kart/preparedness1i.pdf
For those of you who havent started already its time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
Lastly this for the doubters and the scoffers.
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.
Say you were Bill Ayers. What would you do if your guy got in the White House?
No doubt he thought it a gift too much to hope for.
Every executive order will get whacked.
Oh shut up... Just get off the thread then! Blam is a top notch FReeper with lots of FRiends here. I’m proud to count myself as one.
Since when?
You lose.
Bambi did it to Bush on day one.
You’re a bit nicer than the other hour. Break me right?
Actually, what's is coming is pretty astounding. And it will be here in a few weeks.
Hey Kart, I’m with you on the Argentina thing.
Another source to look up is one of baraq’s bud’s van jones’ organization STORM. They believe that violent revolution is the way to bring about fundamental change.
baraq is still buds with this human vermin. He was the green jobs czar, but now is with moveon.org. baraq is in agreement with this philosophy. Burn down the system and take back what is rightfully theirs.
Problem is that these anarchists believed that baraq would deliver on his promises. Believe it or not, they think that baraq has renegged on the promises. They are PISSED.
It won’t be long before baraq loses control of these feral humans. When they reach the point that baraq is insignificant to them, the poop will hit the prop at supersonic speed.
Then the riots will begin. They are in this for themselves. baraq won’t be able to stop them or control them. It will be Detriot 1967 all over the country.
