Now that the events in Egypt have had time to set in, as well as those in Greece and Iceland, you have all had time to think about those events, how they impact us, and what is most likely in store for the rest of the world, let it sink in, contemplate it, and apply it to your knowledge base.
This is only the beginning, that is a guarantee. If you think even for a moment that just because you live in the United States that you are somehow exempt from such situations it's probably time to pull your head out of the sand, give yourself a good kick in the ass, and realize good ol' Uncle Sam's pockets are empty and he's all out of new/good ideas. Poor guy was sent to a retirement home years ago by the real owners of our country.
Have you been keeping an eye on inflation? If not you should be, food prices are rising at an astonishing pace and commodity prices are absolutely sky high, you can be your last silver dollar they are only going to get higher. Now is the time to prepare, to teach ourselves those arts and practices which were once "common sense" to our ancestors, those which we now lack.
Here is the simple fact of the matter: the world is a hostile place, even if we take away the politics and finances of the modern world, the simple fact of the matter is that life is hard, unpredictable, and flat out unfair on a daily basis. In our country and other developed countries we've had a pretty good handle on how to "game" the modern system to our advantage, to make things a bit more cushy and cozy, but in doing so we have ultimately surrendered our survival instincts. We have given our trust to a group of bureaucrats, bankers, and politicians, hell bent on making figures look good on paper while selling out our country, it's infrastructure, our rights, our security, our liberty, and our very culture while lining their own pockets. We have nothing but "free will" left and many of us have been broken of that nasty "free" thinking habit that those in power hate so much.
We have been left helpless and dependent on the teet of big government, we have been hand fed lies and illusions to build up some compulsory sense of "happiness" and passiveness by a group of puppet masters hiding in the shadows and we are woefully unprepared for the economic collapse that we are headed towards. Let's face it, as much as we'd love to believe our human brethren are above the watermark of Darwinian Evolution and it's primary concept of "Survival of the Fittest", we all know the shitstorm that's going to hit on that fateful morning that some catalyzing even toes us over the line drawn in the sand that separates civility and brotherhood from rape and pillage......and yet, tonight, millions of Americans will spend their fat fucking dollars from their fat fucking purses to buy shit they don't need with credit they don't have and they will never give a passing thought to the fact that their spider sense is tingling. Tthey will scarf down popcorn and watch porn movies while blabbering their mouths about "brown people" living in caves threatening our lives with weapons and skills they don't have all without ever turning an eye to that little dot they saw in their peripheral vision.
That's the "American Dream", right?
No it's not, it never has been and it never will be for some of us.
I'm not saying any of this to be crude, rude, or downright "doomy" I'm saying it because it's true.
Let us take a look at Egypt, I won't get into the politics of it other than to condemn our own president for not calling a spade a spade when it comes to Mubarak (an no, I don't believe a republican could have done any better, toss the coin and you'll get the same results), but have you stoped to think of the Geo-political ramifications from these events? Look up the Suez canal and get back with me, those of you "awake" will know exactly what I'm speaking of.
Meanwhile back in the U.S. Texas just asked Mexico for electricity......'cause we ain't producing it anymore. Oh and what's that, Arizona is out of natural gas?
Of course none of this is taking into account the wild card......natural disasters, we are on the precipice at any point in time on any given day of experiencing one. Yes they always cary negative consequences but at least 60 years ago we grew our own food, knew how to make our own tools, and understood the importance of caring and helping our community.
Are you prepared? I'm betting no. And how do I know that? Because I've been getting ready for 6 years and I am no where close to prepared.
Even if you think your prepared, I'm betting you have no idea what your talking about. Yes dear doom speakers building bunkers I mean you. If you need a bunker to "survive" I'm doubting your going to want to emerge into the world as it exists in a post apocalyptic world, I don't want to, instead I would urge you to focus on those things which you can control. Feed, Seed, Shelter, Storage, Water, Medicine and INFORMATION.
Of course you could get to it after the popcorn and porn I suppose.............
