Is America About To Reach A Breaking Point? (Patriots Prepare!)
Zero Hedge ^ | 31 DEC 2012 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 12/31/2013 9:46:13 AM PST by BCW

In America today, there are close to 50 million people living in poverty and there are more than 100 million people that get money from the federal government every month. As the middle class disintegrates, poverty is climbing to unprecedented levels. Even though the stock market has been setting record high after record high, the amount of anger and frustration boiling just under the surface in our nation grows with each passing day.

And now extended unemployment benefits have been cut off for 1.3 million unemployed Americans, and it is being projected that a total of 5 million unemployed Americans will lose their benefits by the end of 2014. In addition, as I have written about previously, 47 million Americans recently had their food stamp benefits reduced. The conditions for a "perfect storm" are certainly being created. So how much longer will it be until we see all of this anger and frustration boil over in the streets of our major cities? Is America about to reach a breaking point?

If you think that the title of this article is "alarmist", you probably have not been paying attention to what has been happening over the past few weeks. For example, a 600 person brawl broke out at at movie theater in Jacksonville, Florida just the other day...

It is worded poorly; my apologies. They can’t have people around who remember when Americans enjoyed a better standard of living; that includes those 35 and older.

What could be worse than spending 5 years with Katie Couric? Spending 5 years with Katie Couric on a chili and booze diet.

I wish it would hurry up and get started. America needs a spiritual awakening, and that's not going to happen until the catastrophe happens.

Ammo will become a great tool for bartering.

Ammo is the last thing you want to bargain with. You could easily be arming looters to take your stuff.

Maybe if the government adopted a policy of low taxes, minimal benefits, deregulation and sound money . . .

Oh, who am I kidding? When pigs fly . . .

I don't prep, but in my situation, with roommates -- just a thought experiment here -- it would be hard for them to miss

Didn't Tyler Durden also have something about turning people fat into nitro glycerin? Just sayin', you know, solve your roommate problem at the same time. :)

I don’t know what put God on my case. I was such an idiosyncratic loser, as far as attitude was concerned. You could have called me Mr. Cranky, Mr. Hate.

The Almighty at some point in everyone's life removes the blinders. That happened to me as well. "Behold, I am making all things new.” - Rev 21:5

Your honesty and courage to share what you have discovered is much appreciated by others.
