Legislator to tea party: Get your guns ready for economic collapse
http://blog.al.com ^ | August 1, 2013 | Cassie Fambro

Washington state legislator Rep. Matt Shea (R) says preparation is crucial to get ready for what he calls "the inevitable collapse" of the US economy.

The Self-Reliance Rally event at an Idaho State Park had several speakers encouraging attendees to prepare by gathering arms and ammunition and considering forming militias.

"When it happens, we need to look at this as a opportunity, not a crisis," Shea said. "Who's job is liberty? That's our job."

Shea told the crowd to stock up on ammunition, stay in shape, practice shooting, learn self defense and special tactics.

He related a story from when he was in the military where a superior officer told him to remember an important lesson.

"Be prepared at any given moment to give up your job to do what is right," he said. "You have to stand up for what is right - even if it means you have to stand up to your government," Shea's superior officer allegedly told him.

Well I don’t know why then, the numbers say something somewhat different:

US growth rate 1.7% I think.

Chinese growth rate 7 +%.

Just saying.

I am glad to hear someone in a position of authority who is not afraid to tell us what we having been thinking for some time now. That we are not going to be able to turn this country around with rah-rah rallies and letter-writing to Congress people who have nothing but contempt for the American people.

What makes people think we can let this country go down the tubes and then get it back easily. We need to fight for what we believe in.

It will either be a slow motion collapse or a rapid neck snapping collapse, or a slow collapse that all of a sudden collapses at neck bbreaking speed...

Either ways a lot of necks gonna get snapped......

The supposed growth rate of China is bullsh*t. Their whole economy is based on faulty mathematics and outright lies.

They are in far greater danger of an economic collapse than the U.S.

A few cities will collapse first, followed by a slow national collapse, to keep power a flase flag nuke will take out an already crapped out city like detroit and then martial law.......

If it is not a false flag the city will be a prosperous city like dallas or houston.

Though they may take out texas to preemptively kill potential opposition....

I don’t agree with you.

China has now passed America, as the world’s champion exporter.

We still import more though. A good portion of which, comes from ... China.

China is winning.

No expert here, but my guess is he is saying “positive attitude”, prayer, etc. and also if things do come to it, perhaps a barter system will be just what’s needed.

Americans who believe in what is right will figure out a way...and come out better on the other side.

I heard Rush say it in his interview with Greta, something about how Obama has destroyed the American psyche.

It’s time to rebuild, to think positive and encourage doing what is right.

Shea’s superior officer allegedly told him.

And by that “allegedly” the reporter cast doubt
upon the whole incident.

Socialist media has crept in everywhere.

escape to where?

Those most responsible are the elitist in this country. You think they don't have nice villas in other countries to escape to? Think Jon Corzine. I'll bet he has a beautiful estate in the Riviera, right next door to Ken Lay.

Could President G.W. Bush have pre-empted/stopped the current decline?
