What does it take to make you sit up and take notice of the problems surrounding society today? What will it take to make you respond to the many crises taking place today?

What does it take to make you sit up and take notice of the problems surrounding society today? What will it take to make you respond to the many crises taking place today? You have eyes so you can see and ears so you can hear but for many people, any negative news is a reason to tune out the world and only think good thoughts.

The problems we face continue to pile up and doing nothing is not an option if you expect to survive the next few years intact. Prior planning and execution of a plan are now required to stay out of the flood zone when the dam breaks and everyone starts to drown. It does not matter what kind of person you are. You have to be able to save yourself before you have the ability to help others including your own family.

You cannot protect your family if you cannot protect yourself from dangerous situations or people. You cannot protect your family if you are too weak from lack of water or food to get others to safety. You cannot protect your family from the elements if you have no cover for them due to the sudden loss of your shelter. 

You have car insurance just in case you have an automobile accident. You have health insurance just in case you get sick. You have life insurance to help your family just in case you die. You have homeowners insurance just in case your home is destroyed. There is unemployment insurance just in case you lose your job.

So where is your food insurance just in case you cannot find any food in the store? Where is your personal protection insurance just in case you are threatened and cannot depend on the police? Where is your water insurance just in case your water supply is shut off or becomes contaminated? Where is your communication insurance just in case the power is out and normal systems do not work? Where is your energy insurance just in case energy supplies are cut off and you need to drive to safety, cook your food or stay warm?

People think that the types of insurance for cars, health, home, and life are just fine to have but the other ones listed are crazy and paranoid to think about. Even in the first case, your insurance policies depend on other people to fulfill them and those people depend on a system that is still functioning such as the banks, communications, and the insurance company itself. So what happens to all those other types of insurance when the insurers themselves are no longer functioning. Any crisis that takes down the stock market, power grid, or the banks will also take down all of the insurance companies.

The events of the past few weeks should have been a warning shot across the bow for many. Our financial and distribution systems are in a delicate balancing act right now and any sudden shifts could send them tumbling off the cliff rendering the services they perform extinct in a matter of hours. When that happens it will be too late to think about what you should have done when you still had the opportunity. 

You cannot get your money out of the bank after the doors are shut, the ATM is empty and the POS systems are no longer working. You cannot get the food you need after the stores have been cleaned out and the distribution system has stopped functioning. You cannot get fuel for your car after the gas stations are empty and deliveries have been suspended. You cannot get police help when everyone calls 911 at the same time and most of the police have gone home to protect their own families.

If your alarm bells have not gone off already what will it take for you to realize you are in serious trouble? When that finally happens what do you plan to do to protect and care for your family? Having no plan means having a plan to suffer and persist through unpleasant situations for no good reason. Not knowing something is excusable but you have been warned many times in the past few years and to have to suffer in the future because you did not know what was coming is no longer an excuse. Failure to prepare at this time will not only cost you but will likely put an unnecessary burden on those that will have to help you in the future.

The warnings continue to go out. The situation continues to deteriorate. The mass of humanity continues to go about its normal daily business. The Earth continues to rotate with no chance of going back from here. The early warning alarms have sounded advising people to take a defensive stance just in case. Do you hear the alarms yet or have you hit the snooze button for a few more minutes of sleep?

So far in this plot to subdue and take over humanity, much has been lost. There is little freedom left, and what there is has been restricted and is constantly monitored, because any act of individuality or independence is now viewed as an uprising and is a bane to the state. Mass censorship of any opinion or truth concerning this scam is rampant. Everything of value is being destroyed, and speech has in most cases literally been disappeared. When the government and its fascist partnered henchmen hide or erase all free speech, what is left is tyranny. Families are being systematically decimated, and the purposeful spread of hatred is promoted at every level of society by the controlled media and the governing gang of criminals. The entirety of this government can only be described as an organized crime but is much more sinister and criminal than any mafia. This is what this pathetic population has created for itself, and blame should be placed on all those that continue to worship this nation-state and adhere to its evil demands.

Human nature is on trial today, and for very good reason. It is the human that controls his own fate. It is the human that allows others to control his thought and actions. It is the human that cowers in the face of adversity. It is the human that worships the state as God. It is the human that acquiesces to the demands of tyrants. It is the human that fails to protect the innocent. It is the human that applauds war. It is the human that causes his own and all other’s misery.

In conclusion, you may take this to heart, or you may ignore the warnings. You may continue to wallow in indifference. You may run and hide. You may cover your emotionless face with a mask. You may watch your family die in seclusion. You may turn in your neighbors to ‘authorities.’ You may follow every rule. You may in fact die at the hands of this heinous state.

Or you may curse this writer. This rant is for all or none; I care not anymore about those that have chosen to harm freedom!

The Forces Are Mounting That Will Eventually Overwhelm Most Americans And Send Their Standard Of Living To Unknown Depths: Looming Economic Crisis Threatens To Push Millions Of Americans Into Starvation

Our nation’s recover from the “Great Recession” was lackluster at best.

Then, just when it looked like the economy was going to start purring along nicely, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and we were faced with nationwide lockdowns, hurting the economy once more.

Now that we’re through with the lockdowns, the combination of ongoing shortages and the burden of several trillion-dollar bills passing through Congress has given us the highest inflation we’ve seen in four decades. It seems we can’t get a break.

Part of the problem is that there are two basic ways that Congress deals with problems. The first is to create laws which result in putting limitations on people and businesses, essentially increasing the regulatory power of the alphabet agencies.

From the point of view of recovering from a financial crisis, about all that can do is slow the process down. The second, and this is the more important one, when it comes to a financial crisis, is to throw money at it.

That’s a problem, because it is Congress throwing money at the problems caused by COVID that have led us down this road to a potential economic collapse.

Worse than that, it appears that we’re heading for more economic trouble on the horizon.

Financial gurus have been predicting a major economic crash for years now.

Each hiccup along the financial road brings more prophecy of disaster.

The only real questions seem to be when it is actually going to come and what’s going to be the trigger that pushes us over the financial cliff.

I don’t want to be preaching doom and gloom here; but I do want to be ready for whatever comes. That not only means being ready for the upcoming economic crisis, when it comes, but also being ready for the things that follow.

As we’ve seen in other countries around the world, recovery from such an event is a long and arduous journey, with many people struggling just to survive, let alone regain what they lost through the crisis.

Part of the problem in preparing for these economic events is in not really knowing what to prepare for. There’s the economic part of it, which is what most people focus on.

But that’s not the whole story. The loss of so much of the economy will change the face of our country, just like the Great Depression did a century ago.

Here are some of those changes we can expect to see.

Explosive Governmental Growth

As we saw in the COVID-19 pandemic, there are those in government who have taken to heart the adage of “never let a good disaster go to waste.”

Some governors took advantage of the pandemic to keep their states locked down, controlling the population and hurting business. Thousands of small businesses were destroyed by government mandates.  Not only did we see tight control on society through that time period, we also saw an increase in government power.

While it wasn’t included in any of the “COVID relief” bills, Congress managed to increase the size and power of the IRS exponentially, adding tens of thousands of new IRS agents.

They’ve also put millions of dollars into “pet projects,” many of which add to government power, under the guise of protecting us from “climate change.”

Crime Bosses Asserting Themselves

The government isn’t the only one who takes advantage of times of hardship, criminals do too. Organized Crime in this country really got its start during the Prohibition; but that was closely tied to the Great Depression.

One of the results of the Argentinean collapse of 1999 was a huge increase in crime of all sorts. Kidnapping the children of wealthy people became the cottage industry of choice for those who needed money and hand a leaning towards crime.

Those who showed an aptitude for crime were approached and recruited by bigger criminals, turning what started out as a rise in crime, to a rise in organized crime.

Organized crime is already alive and well in the United States, especially in New England and along the Pacific Coast.

Additionally, we have thousands of criminal gangs in the country, many of whom are involved in the drug trade. Drug addicts won’t give up their drugs for something like a financial collapse and others who are recreational users will increase their consumption.

This gives more power to those gangs and the organized crime organizations that they work with. If you want to make sure you and your family are safe, here’s how you can make your house invisible to looters and criminals.

Attacks On The Wealthy

We have had decades of progressives bashing the wealthy, specifically wealthy industrialists. Somehow, they never seem to go after the wealthy in the tech sector or wealthy bankers. That’s not actually all that surprising, considering that progressives are closely related to Marxists.

They don’t attack those in the tech sector because many of them are on their side. The same can be said for bankers. But those “evil industrialists” are mostly conservatives, so they must be bad.

We can be sure that the economic woes of the country will be laid on the backs of these people and their “greed.”

While ignoring the greed of actors, athletes, tech giants and others who support their cause, progressives will attack industrialists, possibly tearing their corporations out of their grasp.

The risk here is that of socialism, leading to communism. Every socialist/ communist country has started out by taking over industry and business, “in the name of the people.”

Since government of any type is uniformly poor at managing anything, especially finances, this will impoverish the nation, allowing government bureaucrats to enrich themselves, while increasing the number of people dependent on the country.

Many Businesses Shuttering Their Doors for Good

One of the startling results of the Argentinean collapse was the permanent closing of many businesses. While the wealthy were still wealthy, they stopped spending their money. This hurt the bottom line of many luxury product manufacturers, importers and retailers.

Adding to that, the not quite wealthy who follow the purchasing practices of those who are wealthy could no longer afford those products, eliminating a large chunk of their income. Thousands of businesses went bankrupt, never to surface again.

While there is more wealth in the United States, there’s also a greater tendency of the not quite wealthy to try and keep up with the wealthy in their purchases and their lifestyle.

If anything, the successful in the younger generation are even worse about this than their parents.

They may not buy the same products; but they spend plenty and hardly save at all.

As we’ve seen with COVID, shutting the doors of a business temporarily usually means that it will end up closed forever. Few mom and pop shops can survive even a month with their doors closed, leading to those people losing their life’s savings and the business they had poured their lives into.

The “small business assistance” that Congress approved as part of COVID relief, went to larger businesses who had hundreds of employees, but still fit the legal description of “small business.”

War

Our country’s political history is filled with wars. While it has been a long time since we’ve fought a war on our shores, we have so many treaties with so many countries, that we end up dragged into their wars.

But it’s not actually that simple. Politicians can find ways out of getting involved in foreign wars, just as they can find ways to get involved in them.

If we look back at our nation’s economic history, we find that many of the wars we’ve gotten involved in happened just at the time when our country was least able to afford fighting a war.

Nevertheless, we got into the war, which ended up helping out our economy, bailing us out of a time of recession. That has many to believe that those in power at the time intentionally got involved in those wars, as a means of forcing a recovery of our economy.

There’s More Than That

It’s impossible to predict with any certainty what the future holds. The items I’ve mentioned here are merely things that can be deduced by what has happened in the past.

There are always unexpected things that come along, which we can’t see until they come. Some are even hard to see once they get here.

That’s why we prepare; because we need to be ready, when those unforeseen things come knocking on our doors.
