Prepare

At one point in the history of the United States of America, not so very long ago it was touted as a great virtue to live your life in such a way as to "always be prepared".  Before the Boy Scouts of America was seen as a threat to the Communists working within out Country and were besmirched, belittled and boycotted it was an honorable thing to say you were a scout, raise your hand and salute with your motto "Always be Prepared".

Time has changed though.  No longer is it honorable to be able to provide for yourself and your family.  It's no longer a -good- thing to be independent and not linked at the hip with the Federal Government for your every day needs.

Long long ago (20 years) (please note the mocking sarcasm in my type-tone) it was a disgrace to be on unemployment even a full month before you found whatever work you could get your hands on to bring home a paycheck.  It was a disgrace to be on food stamps.  It was a disgrace to sit in a government supplied home eating government supplied food playing your X-Box purchased with your government supplied paycheck that gives you money for staying poor.

Such days are long gone and an entire generation is being raised believing it is the most natural thing in the world to look to the Federal Government for your health care, for your job, for your vacation allotment, for your transportation, for your food, etc.  I'll save how removing God from school and destroying the authority/structure of family (as people like myself have been warning everyone for decades) has brought us to where we are today; for another blog entry.

There is also an old-school saying: "No use crying over spilled milk".  Meaning; the damage has been done.  It's broken, destroyed and burning to the ground; so... now what do you do?

You adapt, you adjust, you overcome.

With so many threats facing us today,

I don't know what will spark unrest and chaos

but I know it's coming.

Let's take a moment just to 'what if' a couple items:

1.  What happens if Barack Obama is not re-elected in November?

• Unions stir up their drones and wage-slaves into a frenzy to riot in every major city of the country.
• A vast majority of the Negros (I decided I will continue to use this term until they disband the "United Negro College Fund" and declare it racist against light colored skin people) will riot, demand that a great injustice (unfair) deed has been done against them.  People like Sharpton and Jackson with Rev. Wright will fan the flames until riots sweep across the country.
• Several accounts of light skin people being attacked and/or murdered have already happened when a Hispanic man in Florida defended himself and killed Treyvan Martin.  Making the white-man pay.  What do you think it will be like when their Messiah is removed from his throne and these lose that power? (Report in Baltimore) (Report in Chicago) (Report in Alabama)(Report from Kentucky)

What Happens next?

Martial law is what happens next. If the cities become so dangerous that the guy working for the city drinking water plant can't get to work, the guy working for the fire department can't get to work, the guy working for the gas station can't get to work, the highways are so dangerous food can't get to the stores.... society collapses and the government steps in "For the Greater Good". You now have the military in the streets, you have curfews, you have very desperate people climbing over your back wall in the middle of the night to take what you have because your skin is lighter colored than them.

Have you prepared?  Can you defend your home?  Can you or will you even try to get to work?  Do you have food and water to last you and your family?

How long will martial law last?  How long will it take for society to re-balance and the enraged nut-jobs that have been stoked to rape and murder so the Government can step in and take care of everyone; how long before they are put back in their box?

One week?  Three weeks?  Six Months?

Are you prepared to live in a world where if you do not have a wide shaped nose and dark skin; you are a target of large mobs?

2.  Global and Country Economy

• Europe is collapsing financially.  We're printing more and more money to support a government that is growing logarithmically in wasting your hard earned money (taxes).  A global financial adjustment/depression is coming that will make the last 4+ years of your life look like you were living the good-life.
• Gas prices are going up, food prices are climbing fast, electricity rates ("Will necessarily need to skyrocket" Barack Obama), etc.  You aren't getting paid more at work but your food will double, triple and go beyond your ability to buy it soon.  You won't have enough money to even drive to work to make enough money to buy food, let alone cover your mortgage rate, pay your electricity bill, water bill, etc.

What happens next?

Runs on the food supply.  Walmart can't keep food on the shelves or things like bottled water, medicine, bleach.  Walmart trucks are escorted by military convoy "For the Greater Good" along with the gas/fuel trucks for the stations.  After all; after the first few Walmart trucks get hijacked on the highway by desperate people we need to restore order and safety in our communities.

How do you get enough money to even buy the food?  Do we start bartering services with the store owners in exchange for food?  We work security for them all week in exchange for three days worth of food for our family?  Do we already have pantries full of food that will last us months?  Is the garden in the back yard ready to harvest enough food to sustain your family for months?  Do you even have a garden?

What do desperate people that blame everyone for their troubles do when they can't even eat?  Perhaps come and take your food?  Perhaps to keep things simple they just kill you and your family so you can't tell the 'military/law' who it was that just robbed you?

Can you protect your pantry?  Can you protect your family?

I've taken only two possible scenarios and asked you to follow down the road of possible outcomes.  I've asked you to piece together things that you have witnessed and know to be true and asked if you are ready to protect you and your family.  Are you trained in how to use a firearm?  Do you know how to defend your family in your home against one or more armed intruders?

I won't turn this blog entry into six hundred MB's of prep discussion but I wanted to encourage people to start researching.  You may not have time to prepare your family fully; but you do have time to take the first step and do -something-.  Please don't show up at my house expecting a free meal and me to protect you.  Every meal I give you is a meal my daughter does not get.  Sorry; you're not going to get a bite if you come to my door.  Now is the time to prepare and man-up.  Take responsibility as the one to protect your family.

Now; by no means am I fully prepared.  With my job freezing pay raises for over 6 years now, gas prices going up, food prices climbing straight up... I'm way behind where I wish I was in preparing.  But... I take little bites and move a step forward as often as I can.  I keep focused.

I started with a pantry and water storage.  Though it is still only a 2-3 months supply it's a start and it continues to be added to.  It's also added a great and profound sense of peace to my wife as she can see a room full of food (security).  Lose your job and needs a few months to find another one?  You at least have food.  The wives love that.

Many prep sites will help you focus and priorities your assets in how to prepare.

Here is my personal "Wish List" on Amazon.com that I am compiling to help me keep track of the items I still need to get.  If my relatives ask what I want for Christmas.. I just point to this page.

"My Wish List"

Remember: Do not show up at my house unless we work out an arrangement where you're pulling security shift work and you are coming with supplies and/or skills that will make our group stronger.  If you ignore the events in the world around you right now and show up at my door when things go bad, you will not be let in.  If you press the issue; you will be shot.

Retirement Age: 82

I have had a recent discussion about the current United States Social Security System with my mother and it has led me to digging further to get supporting documentation.  You can't just hear something and believe it and expect someone else to just take your word on it.  You need facts to back it up.

My desired point I had wished to portray was that the Social Security system was never designed to be pulling the entire country through the retirement years and it's not there to make your life comfortable after the age of 65.  My point was that you should NOT count on Social Security because the entire system is going to collapse in upon itself. (and it is already: look at the national debt).

My specific claim was this:

When Social security started in 1935 the average years of age that men and women (combined average) was expected to live was 61.7 years.
Now though in 2012 the average years of age lived has been stretched to 79 years of age.

When Social Security was started they convinced the entire country that, "Hey.. let us have this amount of money out of every paycheck you make and we'll put the money aside.  If you live 3 years PAST the age we expect you will die, then we will give you a little money each month... but hey, you'll probably die before then anyway."

Now though.. people on average are living to 79 years of age.  But they expect to get this social security still back at the 1935 life expectancy numbers.  The average person is living 13 years beyond what the system was set up to handle.

If you want Social Security to actually work as it was intended; you need to increase the minimum benefits acquisition age to 3 years past the year they expect you to die.  Just like in 1935.

Now that age would be 82 years old.

The problem is... our society keeps expecting the government to take care of them.  The system was never set up to take care of people.  To be honest; it was designed to take taxes out of people that had a very good chance of dying and never getting the money they'd put into the government.  The government hood-winked an entire country into a scheme to take their money and never give it back.

As I see it; these are the facts.

Even the Dutch Mock Us

I've become so embarrassed by what our Country has become.  I could care less what the rest of the world thinks about our Country but... good grief.

The Dutch have put together a nice video clip revealing how pathetic our President is.

Government Listening: Trigger Word List

The latest "blacklist of words" our government uses when they are scanning your emails, text messages and have their computers listening for during your phone calls has just become public.
If you say any of the following words you're going to be flagged and listened to to make sure you're not a threat.

Of course.. a 6th grader could tell you to just come up with code words.  Instead of saying Assassination, just say "say goodnight", instead of Nuclear say "Glow Toy".

It's obvious that reading your emails, reading your txt messages, listening to  your phone calls.. has nothing to do with keeping you safe from bad-guys out there that want to harm you.  It has everything to do with keeping an eye on you to see if you dare say anything the 'thought police' believe may lead to descent to towing the line they force down your throat.

For me... I'm going to make sure I pick one or more of these words and put them into every 'tagline' at the bottom of every email or text I send.

Obama Birth Certificate Investigation Report

The video below is the report offered by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Marricopa County in Arizona on the investigation into Obama's Birth Certificate.

Obama 2012

This blog entry will be the one with the least amount of my own words required.

What Do You Do?

This past week a neighbor moved in across the street and I was eager for a chance to go shake their hands and introduce myself while welcoming them to the area.  His SUV had a Marines emblem on the back window and that instantly had me perk up and want to meet the man.

While my mother-in-law came down to visit for the week from Michigan we did a great deal of driving around to tourist locations and just riding up in the mountains with the Jeep we just got.  A grand old time.  Early one morning before we took off on the days adventures the neighbor across the street was putting on a garage sale in his driveway.  A perfect chance to stroll across the street and say hello.

Almost instantly he asked me, "So, What do you do?"  The reason he was asking me was because I had my Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum on my side and he and his wife were from California.  The site of a gun on someones hip was still a culture shock to them (welcome to Arizona - Muahahaha).

Of course I knew exactly what he was asking.  He was asking, "What occupation do you engage in to bring money home to your family for paying your bills?"  But that's not what people ask when they meet other people.

It happens all the time.  People shake your hand, you mention the weather or some other meaningless subject and then you ask or get asked "What do you do?"

I got to thinking in church Sunday morning that each time this happens; it's an incredible moment for me to really offer a deeper relationship with the person.  Why be so superficial?  I know; it's because you really don't know the person and you're just being polite.  How can you trust them with giving them personal information?  Will they just use it to stalk and/or rob you and your family?  Who can you really trust these days?

What really pressed on my heart in Church Sunday was this:
I get asked, "So, What do you do?"
My response should be, "I wake up every morning knowing that Jesus Christ restored my relationship with God and I have a reason to live with a smile on my face.  I'm still a messed up person with problems like everyone else; but I've got a purpose in my life and a focus on my future that I never had before.... So, What do you do?"

I can't wait to try it out and see how it goes?

Offer your "So, What do you do?" answers that come to mind in the comments sections below.  I'd love to hear from you.  May you also inspire others and touch people you meet each day with the Love of Jesus Christ.
