Very good observation metmom.
I read some of them. Their honesty is refreshing:
- the wife of a trucker who is frustrated at her husband for not realizing how much food it actually takes to feed a family of four and three animals
- a man who prepped with dry goods, and lost it all in a flood
- a woman who has O2 deprivation issues, recently had surgery, is choked by the mask policies, and sees the elimination of cash for the scam that it is
- parents who see what this "lockdown" is doing to their children, but are powerless to do anything about it
I found this one man's comment particularly interesting. There is more, but here is an excerpt:
"Mark Twain once said “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” If history is a lens through which we may view the future, then we can expect the chaos and civil unrest to become much worse going forward as we enter the terminal decline stage of our American Empire.
We are now at the commencement phase of a violent conflict foreseen by such luminaries as Peter Turchin, who stated “We are rapidly approaching a historical cusp, at which the U.S. will be particularly vulnerable to violent upheaval”, and that societal crises can typically last for five to 15 years. Whether that upheavel will be a Communist Revolution and Counter-Revolution, or a Second Civil War, and more importantly — who wins — remains to be seen.
Steel yourselves Preppers, as the tribulations are just beginning. The days ahead will be marked by chaos and trepidation. Brother will turn against brother, father against son. Neighbors against neighbors. There will be no Mason-Dixon demarcation line. Instead the fighting will be street by street, house to house. All of your preparations will be put to the test. Nothing you have done to prepare yourselves and your families will have been done in vain. You should be accelerating your preps, pedal to the floor, in these last months before the real chaos starts.
It is my opinion that not enough Patriots are awakening to our dire situation fast enough to save The Republic. The Barbarians are not only pounding on the gates, they are already inside of the gates. Illegal immigrants have been pouring in for decades as the result of an increasingly open border policy that is swinging the vote in favor of Leftists who seek nothing less than the total destruction of American Values and of America itself — to be re-molded using a Communist autocratic formula which has failed time and time again throughout history. The Long March of Communism through our institutions, schools, and halls of government is nearly complete, with decisive players in key positions within our government and military. Now several generals are even speaking openly about a military coup at the conclusion of the 2020 Election.
The erasure and revision of our history is fully supported by the Leftist media — spearheaded by The New York Times 1619 Project’s villification of our forefathers and founders of this great nation. Our places of worship and statues of saints are being desecrated and destroyed as the cities burn.
The conflict is coming, it cannot be reversed. It is here, now. At its beginning.
I am a sinful man, saved by the sacrifice of Christ. I am no better than anyone else, just forgiven. Those of us who look for the promise of His coming have that blessed Hope (Titus 2:13), but until then, we must occupy until He comes.
I think this reader nailed several things. Namely, this plandemic is meant to weaken us before the greater battles ahead gather steam. It has take the Left years to weaken the citizenry and the West to this point, but they sense victory now, and they are ready for next terrible stages of the battle.
Here is what we can do:
1. For those with faith, trust in the Lord.
2. If things do go sideways (even more than they currently are) in the next few months, plan and prepare as best you can. Not everyone has the finances to spend thousands of dollars on food and supplies. Just do what you can, because if the Left escalates the current civil war to the next level, we are a facing martial law scenario.
3. We should be prudent and wise, but not fearful. I've seen the fearful Karen's everywhere: at the grocery store, in the streets, at work, at the gas station. Their fear is palpable. If we pray, and meditate on God's Word, we realize that no matter what happens, He is in control.
