Self Defense Preparations
I keep reading about all of the preparations being undertaken by some preppers, in terms of fighting off the ravages of society.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words; so allow the one below to speak my language:
Are you really going to allow your own humanity to take a serious hit; by turning away some child that’s hungry. Even more, are you going to shoot some desperate father or mother
that’s begging for your help?

Manhattan, New York
The earth shook with an unimaginable intensity; collapsing even the most strongest and well-built structures. Immense skyscrapers, a monument to mankind’s engineering, toppled in just seconds. Never before in recorded history had the world witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of a 17 point earthquake. But not just one single quake, hundreds of quakes per hour. Their rumblings and shaking merging together to create a never ending roar which drowned out all other sounds.
Sounds such as the screaming of those injured, the death cries as victims met their fate, and the groan of buildings collapsing under the extreme shaking, ripping everything apart.
All across the great city, earthquake swarms destroyed in mere seconds, that which man had built throughout the generations. Bridges, roads, tunnels; none were spared from the massive mega-earthquakes. Fires quickly spread as gas mains erupted under the streets; adding to the cacophony of destruction came the giant toxic gas clouds as chemical plants exploded, to spew their deadly compounds into the already noxious air.
The quakes lasted but a mere forty two minutes; but in its wake of destruction, little remained that resembled The Big Apple. Debris litter every road. Not one single bridge or over-head walkway remained upright. Street lights slewed across cars, crushed people lay all about the streets. Roaring fires dominated the landscape, and the wind carried the stench of death out across the swelling seas.
Those survivors who managed to keep alive, were stunned to hear the fury of the wind increasing to a howling roar. Wind rushing out from across the ocean blasted headlong into the once sprawling city. Increasing in intensity, the wind storm reached its peak at 350 miles per hour. Hurdling shards of glass, steel, concrete, and even mangled cars against the already battered survivors.
Bethany Wills screamed in utter fear. She’d barely managed to escape the tenement house as the earthquakes tore the neighborhood apart piece by piece. Behind her, the mangled remains of her parents and brothers remained under the massive rubble pile that had been her childhood home. She didn’t even have time to cry, before the mega-hurricane force winds assailed everything in its path.
Barley managing to crawl into a drainage tunnel, she heard the screams as the furious wind plucked injured victims right off the street, smashing them against rubble piles. Their screams quickly drown out by the vulgar roar of the horrendous wind.
Covering her ears with both hands, she screamed in sheer fear. Her right shoe sucked right off her foot, threatening to jerk her out of the small cramped drainage tunnel. She willed herself to crawl on her belly, deeper into the surrounding darkness. Her hands and knees bleeding from the many cuts; but her fear urging her deeper into the labyrinth of claustrophobic darkness.
The mega-hurricane winds blasted itself for several hours against the remains of the largest and most populated city in the world. Millions had perished in less than one hour; and as the fierce winds subsided; the smell of salt air arose. The tiniest trickle of water against the heaps of rubble, soon turned into a torrent as water quickly inundated across the now dead city of New York.

Kill The Television
The BEST-WORST thing that was ever invented is the television set. It came to us purely as a means to communicate news and important information. But over the years it has become a hardcore method that is being used to both sway our opinion, sell soap, and coerce political viewpoints.
BUT what is this fancy expensive piece of energy hogging junk NOT telling us…?
Its NOT telling us about the miserable human suffering occurring right this moment in North Korea.
Its NOT explaining away the plight of the real unemployed people that have run out of benefits.
It’s NOT telling us how miserable the senior citizens are being treated by the Social Security Administration.
It’s NOT explaining why the administration donated $680,000,000.00 (Million) to Pakistan, and then demand that American farmers pay for the water to irrigate crops that we eat.
It’s NOT explaining why the administration allows illegals to get a driver license by hiring an interpreter, yet Americans have to show umpteen documents to prove residency.
I haven't watched television in several months, and it feels like my brain is coming back to normal again. I get all of my news, entertainment, and political commentary from the internet and some of my friends. The good thing is that I get to choose what I am interested in, and NOT have to be subjected to umpteen dozen commercials trying to sell me cars, insurance, erection pills, and other useless crap that costs to much, does nothing, and I never heard about before. Ahhh—Feels like a cool drop of water against my cheek to be rid of the television…
Now that the mind control device is no longer part of my daily routine; I can see with a modicum of clarity the things that were a little fuzzy before:
REALITY IN YER’ FACE!
Everything IS NOT alight out there in America! There are 45-Million families on food stamps,
90% of the seniors on Social Security are half starved, cant pay their bills, and are living way below the poverty level.
Children in the schools supported by OUR tax dollars are being spoon-fed the AMERICAN LIE that has them growing into better trained consumers with no political views, no public opinion, and no sense of morality or religion.
Parents that don’t know how to discipline their kids, are allowing the kids to discipline them. The kids are taught this in the schools.
Police departments view citizens in their jurisdiction as crooks that haven't been caught yet.
Public servants haven't been doing their jobs, yet their lazy sorry ass is still occupying the seat in their public office.
Preachers are preaching a liquefied version of the Holy Bible because their afraid to preach the gospel.
Radical Muslims are allowed to enter the USA.
Radicals from Mexico piss on the US Flag while standing on the streets of AMERICA!
Supreme Court Justices cant EVER make up their mind about ANYTHING because they haven't walked a mile in our shoes.
Oil prices are slowly dropping, but the price of gasoline is still climbing.
Food prices are shooting through the roof, yet farmers are going bankrupt.
There’s no such thing as free water anymore. The gov’ment wants to control all of it—everywhere.
Credit ratings are going down, yet the cost of credit is going up.
Banks are doubling their fees for less service than what was offered five years ago.
Gun control efforts are climbing, yet crime is at an all time high.
America locks up more people that the combined population of Sweden and Denmark.
NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS
The Crap Is Going To Hit The Fan Soon…!
There have been more tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, droughts, floods, and other sundry natural disasters than EVER before recorded in America’s history. But, very few people are getting their collective asses ready to weather these storms. Many go about their lives from day to day, just existing from one reality show to the next, one paycheck to the next. Its almost like they are being brainwashed to be good American consumers…
WHAT IS ALL OF THIS LEADING TO…?
The BAD TIMES are just around the corner, and at our present rate of forward momentum, it won’t be long before the crap arrives on ALL of our doorsteps without much warning…!
Stockpile food, water, medical supplies, weapons, ammunition, fuels, radios, and barter materials like your life depends on it—because it does! Find some friends to help you out, watch your back, and get to know them like their blood related to you. Keep your eyes on the horizon, because whatever is coming, will be here real freaking soon, and it’s going to be a bitch from hell when it arrives.
THE ANSWERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
First you have to understand the threats that we are facing today. Every person on this planet will be affected to some degree, in one way or another. I have tried to warn of these threats for several years. Luckily many are listening to my ideas, thoughts, and suggestions. Small groups are popping-up everywhere, and lone wolf survivalists are coming out of the woodwork to get their families ready. But we still have some time to get ready for whatever the hell is bouncing around out there…
All this talk of war with the military is scary crap, and while many groups are forming to circumvent this possibility; I must once again state the OBVIOUS that is most evident:
The United States Government does NOT have the capacity, resources, manpower, or audacity to imprison millions of people.(Should I Say That Again?)
They haven't the bed space, or enough guards to lock everyone of us inside CAMP FEMA.
The first moment that Camp FEMA goes into full swing, will lead to an instant CIVIL WAR, and much blood shed on both sides.
Lets NOT forget that American sons and daughters are serving in the U.S. Military, and many of them have been raised by people JUST LIKE US! Its highly unlikely that these soldiers will follow unconstitutional orders that would have them fighting their neighbors and kinfolk.
My Own Rendition Of Get Righteous
If I were the Head Mother Trucker In Charge, here’s my rendition of CHANGE:
Lock down the southern borders with military troops that have permission to use deadly force. Put every illegal on notice that they have 72-Hours to vacate the country, or face being part of the chain-gangs that cleans up the highways. This would also halt the flow of drugs into America.
Prohibit consumer commodity imports from China for a period of 90-days. China allows a small percentage of American imports, yet our administration has killed American manufacturing capacity, or willingness, due to cheap Asian imports. Put Americans back to work making American products.
Put every elected official on notice that they better get off their sorry ass and do the job that they were hired to do, or face expulsion from office. Enough of these greedy fame sucking snobs squeezing every dime out of their office that they can, yet failing their constituents in every instance.
Free National Health care for everyone in the country, including dental and vision. Make America healthy again.
Flat Rate 15% tax rate for everyone, instead of the mess called the IRS we see today.
Get the U.S. budget under control by hiring one thousand small business owners that know how to budget and forecast revenues. Get a handle on that mess muy pronto…
Bring American troops back home, and only send them to foreign countries when needed. Enough with all the damned wars and conflicts.
Stop giving away trillions in subsidies to foreign governments that hate America. let em’ grown corn, or starve. America is the ONLY nation that feeds its enemies. Time to put that crap to rest!
Come down HARD on Neo-Nazis’, Klan, Skin Heads, Black Panthers, La Razza, and any other racist group that threatens women, children and old folks. They gotta be stomped out of existence!
Institute an educational panel that oversees what these rat-fink socialist school teachers and college professors are teaching out children. We pay OUR money to support these schools, and its time OUR kids learn the THREE R’s, and not be indoctrinated by these charlatans standing at the head of the classroom.
AND FINALLY
Coerce every citizen, of every state in the country, to conduct a mass protest against their own state government whenever unjust or unconstitutional legislation is introduced; such as gun control, abortion, health care, taxation, education, civil rights, and other controlling laws that inhibit or restricts free speech, free thought, free movement, or clarity of life.

The Warning & Message
Throughout the years I have come to understand a simple principle when it comes to survivalism: Some of us are sent THE MESSAGE, while others are sent THE WARNING.
For me, this began while I was still a young child. It began subtly, and at first I didn’t understand it. I took years, until my teens, for me to realize that I was endowed with a message, and a warning. It changed my life then, and continues to impact it even today.
The Message:
It’s pretty simple. When one become aware of what is going on in the world, and understands the nature of how life will unfold in the coming years; some of us began preparations that might somehow allow us to make peace within ourselves, and perhaps even began the slow and tedious process of stockpiling some very basic essential supplies.
· Stockpiles essential supplies
· Completes basic threat research
· Talks to others on the internet for information exchange
· Devotes several hours each day to internet discussion groups
· Understands that something might happen
· Builds a basic bug out plan
· Enrolls in a self-defense class
· Talks on the internet about survivalism
· Is prepared to Bug Out when SHTF
· Maintains an adequate Bug Out Bag
The Warning:
This is much more serious than having heard the message. A person that hears the warning is alarmed to the point that immediate action is required. It’s a process which demands that there isn’t enough time in a day, and that there isn’t enough money in the bank to cover all the associated costs.
· Stockpiles several years’ worth of food supplies
· Completes exhaustive risk analysis
· Establishes a network with others for information exchange
· Devotes several hours each day towards fulfillment of stockpile acquisition
· Knows that something will happen
· Builds an advance evacuation plan
· Enrolls in a self-defense, first aid, and wilderness survival class
· Talks to neighbors about survivalism
· Is prepared to Bug Out before SHTF
· Maintains several advance Bug Out Bags strategically cached in different areas
The term “Prepper” has become repugnant to me. It denotes something that is far removed from survivalism. A prepper collects gear, and hopes nothing happens; while a survivalist stockpiles gear and knows that something will happen.

Volcano Eruption in Japan on Tuesday, 13 March, 2012 at 15:15 (03:15 PM) UTC.
Description
Sakurajima continued its second day of violent eruptions on Tuesday, spewing hot rocks and ash, but there was no major damage in the vicinity, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said. The agency said Monday's powerful eruption was the most forceful since 2009. The volcano is located in the southern prefecture of Kagoshima. The Meteorological Agency added that the volcano has been erupting steadily for the last two years, but the eruption on Monday turned violent, throwing 50-centimetre (1 foot 6 inches) rocks nearly 1.2 miles away, the furthest since 2009. In response, the Meteorological agency extended the eruption warning to residents living further away from the mouth of the volcano. The volcano has already had over 300 eruptions this year. Sakurajima volcano, one of Japan's more active volcanoes, resumed activity in 1955 and has been active ever since. Sakurajima volcano in Japan's southern Kagoshima prefecture erupts violently in what officials say is the most powerful since 2009, though there has been no damage so far.
Volcano Activity in Colombia on Saturday, 10 March, 2012 at 03:56 (03:56 AM) UTC.
Description
The Nevado del Ruiz volcano, whose eruption 26 years ago killed around 25,000 people, is showing signs of activity after nearly 20 years laying dormant, said Colombian geological group Ingeominas Thursday. Early Friday morning, geologists completed an observational fly-over with the assistance of the Colombian Air Force, during which they photographed the Nevado del Ruiz volcano and noted "ash on the glacier, near the crater rim and on the eastern flank," as well as a 4,500 foot gas column at the mouth of the volcano. During the same day a seismic tremor was reported along with an increase in sulfur dioxide emissions. All of these factors signal that the volcano is heating up. Located about 80 miles west of Bogota, Nevado del Ruiz is an active volcano that produces pyroclastic flows, or swift currents of hot gas and rock that lead to destructive mudslides. There have been numerous eruptions over the centuries, with the most recent was on November 13, 1985.
Volcano Eruption in Russia [Asia] on Friday, 09 March, 2012 at 08:22 (08:22 AM) UTC.
Description
Friday saw a new eruption of the Bezymianny volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. Earlier in the day, the volcano spewed ash up to 8 kilometers high, seismologists said, adding that the eruption does not pose a threat to population centers in the area. One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Bezymianny is located 350 kilometers northeast of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. During its most powerful eruption in 1956, the 2,800-meter volcano ejected about three cubic kilometers of volcanic debris in a very short time.
Volcano Eruption in USA on Friday, 09 March, 2012 at 04:02 (04:02 AM) UTC.
Description
Monitors have detected what is described as a small explosion at the Cleveland Volcano in Alaska. The volcano is located in Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands, southwest of Anchorage. According to the Alaska Volcano Observatory, the eruption happened just after 7 p.m. Wednesday. The incident was similar to eruptions in December which sent small ash clouds into the atmosphere. But they were small enough to dissipate quickly, and did not interfere with air traffic. Photos of the latest explosion was masked by cloud cover so satellite imagery is unavailable.
Volcano Eruption in Ecuador on Monday, 05 March, 2012 at 03:33 (03:33 AM) UTC.
Description
Ecuador's Instituto GeofÃsico (IG) reports an increase of Tunguarahua volcano's activity: Since last night (3 March), 4 explosions have been reported of moderate to large size. An explosion at 07:31 local time today produced an ash columnreaching about 4 km in height and drifting to the west - northwest. A second explosion took place at 09:11 (local time) and produced a strong shock wave that rattled the ground and windows in nearby areas. CLoud cover has prevented detailed observations, but with the help of thermal sensors, hot fresh deposits were detected on the flanks, suggesting they were the result of a pyroclastic flow. In the morning, the observatory post at Cusúa reported the presence of hot deposits on the upper flank typical for fresh pyroclastic flow deposits. Ash fall was reported from Choglontús, Manzano and Motilones areas before, and this morning ashfall reached the Yuibug area. The monitoring system has been recording variable seismicity and powerful tremor episodes lasting minutes to hours (which probably indicate rising magma), interrupted by short moderate to large explosion signals corresponding to the ash eruptions from the growing lava dome.

Hamas Terrorist Attack Video
Over the past four days, life has become unbearable for the people of southern Israel. With over 300 rockets exploding in Israeli territory, their days were reduced to keeping within 15 seconds of a bomb shelter
Video of rocket attacks by Palestinian terrorists. Actual footage from people in their homes as the rockets are raining down into their neighborhood. So far there have been 200 rockets fired into Israel.
Tell me again how these bastards in Gaza can claim that they are freedom fighters.

The Bug Out Vehicle
One of the primary element of my own family survival plan is the ability to quickly get away in the event something happens.
Here in Alaska we are faced with several real potentials for disasters. All of our plans detail our little family being able to stop whatever we are doing, and jump into the main BOV that awaits us in the driveway.
I have outfitted with old Suburban 4x4 with a brand new 5.7L 350hp engine, reworked all of the electronics, and outfitted the truck with programmable scanner, mobile HAM/Commercial radio, and a standard Citizen’s Band radio.
Double stuffed winter tires, and extra lights keep us on the road during those long and dark winter nights when seeing 50 yards up the road is almost impossible without High Intensity Discharge (HID) spotlights. They are tinted in blue in order to cut through the snow.
Inside the 4x4 we keep extra a clothing, wool blankets, tools, and our personal survival gear. Theirs is 1-month worth of food in back, as well as a full blow EMT kit for medical emergencies. Extra fuel cans, motor oil and fluids round out the inventory.
The roads in Alaska are ALWAYS glazed over with ice. Unlike the lower-48 states where the snowplows keep the roads clean; here in Alaska we have so much snow, that it is always ice covered and dangerous. Whiteouts occur with little or no warning, and oftentimes the weather will change in a heartbeat. Those who venture out into the remote areas have to keep basic survival supplies in the car, or they could potentially die within a few miles of the nearest gas station. Most small (mom & pop) gas stations close a little after dark-thirty.
The radios utilized by The Alaska Watchmen Group are Yeasu FT1900R 55-Watt mobile HAM radio that have the MARS/CAP option installed. The radio is capable of receiving and transmitting on the 136 MHz – 174 MHz band. In a SHTF event, a 100-Watt power amplifier cross-linked to a repeater system allows the group to maintain constant radio communications with each team.

- Volcano Activity in Cameroon on Monday, 06 February, 2012 at 19:10 (07:10 PM)
- Volcano Activity in Indonesia on Monday, 06 February, 2012 at 13:59 (01:59 PM)
Near Earth Objects Data Table:
- Name: 2008QY
- Approach Date: 14th February 2012
- Estimated Diameter: 540 Meters – 1.2 Kilometers (591 Yards)
- Relative Velocity: 22.9 Meters Per Second – 80,244 Kilometers Per Hour (49862 MPH)
The above NEO (Near Earth Object) is one of approximately 3000 that are being tracked by NASA. It has been estimated that there are an additional 30,000 objects streaming through our galaxy that aren’t being tracked or monitored. Should one object impact another, the collision could send a stadium size object screaming towards our planet.
The Question: Would the US Government alert the civilian population that a chunk of rock the size of the super dome was screaming towards us at 50,000 miles per hour; or would they remain quiet about this event in order to forestall any mass panic…?

New World Order: In Your Face
New World Order, Conspiracy Theory, End Times, The Illuminati, Revelation, TEOTWAWKI, SHTF, WROL, NWO, The Purge, Global Cleansing, Christ’s Return, Rapture, Tribulations, 2nd Genesis, End Of Technology, Rebirthing, Mayan Prophecies.
All of the terms above represent a series of divergent views, opinions, and beliefs, about how the world will end, or what the future holds for mankind. It depends entirely upon the person’s belief system, and their personal values, coupled with their own understanding of these future events.
Some would argue that in 2012 a series of cataclysmic events will rock the very foundation of all that is representative of our modern culture; while others vehemently declare without reservation, that the Wrath of GOD will fall upon mankind very soon—probably in December 2012.
No matter who I have spoken with about these future events, and no matter what their own end-times philosophies are; each person has told me that they intrinsically felt a sense of immediate urgency in getting themselves ready to face these future crisis probabilities.
My own search for answers to the omnipresent concerns about these terrible events, has led me onto a different path than some of my contemporaries. A path which looks into the historical aspects, predictability patterns, and current events around the globe--which might in some small way allow me to catch a glimpse of the initial indicators that something is amiss. But, I must admit that often-times I have to stop and look at the information peeking out from behind the veil of modern telecommunications with its inherently instant gratifying information portals—as it can quickly inundate my senses with a flood of information non-relevant to my research.
I look for emerging patterns such as unexplained weather phenomenon, psyhotronic behaviors patterns, economic trends, religious trends, political and judicial policies, national security and foreign polices, moods, consumer price indexes, and many other other data streams that fit a certain pattern of movement away from, or towards something.
With an open mind I watch these data streams fade into and out of my field of understanding. Some remain logged into the memory bank of my mind, while other data bits just flow through my mind without consequence. Yet, certain tidbits of data-information forces my mind to stop and observe a little closer, sit up straight, read a little more, and sometimes it allows the information to take my search in an entirely different direction.
It’s these little nagging things which demand that I find the answer that puzzles me the most, and oftentimes forces me to spend many hours sifting through reams and reams of information, until I achieve a sense of understanding, and have gained some inner cognitive recognition that the information which I am seeing is very important to me.
Here are some of the data-stream trends that I have encountered over the last few years, and some of these trends have increased in their individual voracities, as well as frequency of occurrences:
Food prices have risen sharply; while the prices paid to farmers have decreased exponentially. In essence; corporate America is screwing the farmers and ranchers that produce our food, while screwing us at the cash register when we buy their products.
Unemployment seems to be slowing down; based on what I see from the national unemployment index. But the index doesn’t take into account the number of people that no longer qualify for unemployment benefits, and are forced to apply for public assistance. Another disturbing factor right beside this trend is the sudden increase in the number of families applying for food stamps. Middle class America which was the very foundation of the economic growth of this country—are now losing their jobs to outsourcing, losing their homes to foreign investment banks, and forced to put corporate America’s overpriced food on their kitchen tables—bought and paid for with food stamps that are subsidized with tax revenues.
Our oil hungry nation imports more oil than many of the third world countries in South America combined. Yet our car manufacturing base is cranking out supersonic flashy cars that suck high dollar fuel faster than dairy cows can pump milk. There is little effort being put into economy cars that sip gasoline, because the younger generation of America are envious of those that have high dollar Beamer’s and Benz's. But these kids cant afford the price tag, so they spend their money foolishly on street racers that look good and are filled with all kinds of electronic gizmos that do absolutely nothing for the fuel mileage, but everything for their own sense of self indulgence—and thus send more of their dollar overseas to Asian companies importing the stereos, gps, and other electrical crap which makes mechanics smile when the car break down.
Gold prices have gone through the roof, but the Euro still outdistances the dollar by 40%. A Euro costs $1.40; even though the European monetary system is teetering on the brink of total collapse. Wall Street traders, investment bankers, international banking consortiums—all have prophesized that the European financial institutions are writing checks that their respective, and collective asses can’t cover. The US dollar has a 63% buying power. So every time that you lay down a one dollar bill—remember that it’s only worth sixty three inflation adjusted pennies. Perhaps that is why ten years ago one could buy three cans of beans for two dollars; and today one can of beans costs three dollars.
I had a long conversation a few years ago with a Harvard Math professor and political science educator. He told me that America’s economic problems could be solved in one single 24-Hour period. He told me that all of our problems could be solved if the US Government would give one million dollars to every man, woman, and child that is a citizen of this country.
Simple math tells me that there are just about 350-Million people in the USA. That means the feds would have to shell out three hundred fifty million dollars. Though at first it sounded like a very good idea, when I digested and processed that information, it was easy to see that having a country of instant millionaires wouldn’t be such a good idea.
The personal income tax on one million dollars would be in the neighborhood of 33%. So one third ($333,000) would be returned to the government the following tax year. That in itself is significant, because even before the very first tax return is ever filed, the consumer goods taxes would blow the roof off. States and cities that currently charge a 5% sales tax, would probably raise the tax structure to around 12%—just to keep up with inflationary counter-measures by the greedy corporations and outsourcing business entities. Corporate America would rise to the occasion; and that $3 can of beans today, would cost $12 tomorrow. To be sure, the labor outlook would be gloomy the first year. Many small business would be forced to close their doors because their suddenly rich employees told the boss to “stuff it”. That creates a chain reaction which slowly shuts down another source of tax revue feeding the hungry corporations and government tax structures. This in turn affects the national debt.
The national debt equals $44,900.00 per person in the United States; which puts that figure around 15-trillion dollars. Our current national debt is creeping past what our Gross National Product earns. That means we are spending more money than what we sell in products. The debt to dollar ratio is getting higher each year, and pretty soon, if the trend continues, the national debt will outsource our own production capabilities. As of February 2012, the national debt represents 96.8% of the Gross National Product. In comparison; in 2000, the ratio was 57.6% [ Oops! Can you say higher taxes, lower service, and inflated corporate consumer commodity prices…? ]
And that is the good news--Now let’s really get into some trends:
America’s population density is predicted to increase to 439-million people by 2050. That means in 38 years there will be an additional 89-million people in the USA. Along with that, the prediction is that the Hispanic-Latino population that today represents 16%, will double to a little over 30% by the year 2050. While Hispanic-Latino, African-American, and Asian-American see a rise in their population growth—the white Caucasian race declines from 79.5%, to 74%. [Hey; that’s not me talking—here’s the link: US Census Demographics ]
So, that means my grand children will be in their forties, their cost of living index will be much more than what we experience today, and the USA will be one third Hispanic-Latino, 13% African-American, and 7.8% Asian-American, with another 46.3% Non-Hispanic-White.
62% of the nations’ children in 2050 is expected to be of a minority ethnicity, and only 38% are of the Non-Hispanic White children--which declines to 56%. What does this trend mean? Better get used to Mexican food, changes in the food manufacturing process, and increased imports, while decreased exports. Are you starting to see the data-streams trending right in front of your face…
Cause and effect is most evident here; and for every trend which creates a cause; there is an equal and opposite trend that has to come around.
Newton’s Third Law;” The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear”; in other words: “To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions
- Raise taxes, people earn less
- People that earn less, spend less
- When people spend less, revenues drop
- When revenues drop, prices rise
- When prices rise, less disposable income results
- Less disposable income, means that less is spent on comfort items,
Taxes Are Raised=Less Income=Less Earnings=Less Spending=Less Sales Taxes=Less Tax Revenues= More Taxes; simple right!
So where does this all lead to, and what does it have to do with the New World Order…?
I will summarize it in one single word:
“ CONTROL!”
- Control what we earn
- Control what we eat
- Control what we drink
- Control what we spend
- Control how we spend it
- Control where we spend it
- Control how we save it
- Control how we use it
And if we don’t like that—then make a law that forces us to be controlled by the thing that we don’t like in the first place. If we still don’t buckle down, then control the manner in which we speak out against it; make it “unconstitutional speech”.
It gets a little weird from here down:
We have a supreme court that gives “Human Rights” to a corporate entity; but cannot give those same rights to a fetus in the womb.
The same supreme court that is sworn to uphold the US Constitution; and yet allows foreign national agitators to stand on America’s street corners and piss on the US flag, and burn it on main street—while telling American citizens that to oppose the “Lawful Constitutional Rights” of these bastards—makes “You and I” the criminals.
The same Supreme court that denies the rights of Oklahoma citizen to add another amendment to THEIR State Constitution outlawing Sharia Law.
[ LINK: News Article By The Huffington Post ]
The same Supreme court that threatens the Governor of Arizona about their constitutional rights to impose immigration polices along the Mexican border.
A system of government that bends at the waist to atheist political activists to remove prayer, and religious symbols from schools, and public buildings; but has the sheer audacity to demand that churches and religious charity groups provide birth control to people that are fundamentally opposed to that principal on the religious grounds that birth control is murder.
A system that refuses to acknowledge “creeping-sharia” as being the single most dangerous threat to the American Constitution, and way of life; and just yesterday gives top-level security clearances to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Global warming is always in the data-stream; but lately its been all about “Global Cooling” that is making all the headlines in the world.
Most of Europe is under an icy blanket which has already killed hundreds of people, and forced millions more into shelters. A slice of bread topped with fat and onions; are the what’s keeping some of these folks alive. In placed like Rome, Greece, and much of the United Kingdom; shelters are over-crowded, and the local authorities are telling hospital staff to keep patients, instead of sending them back into the cold to die of hypothermia.
Here in the USA, a flue is quickly spreading across the state boundaries. Everyone that I know is suffering from form of the flue, or another. The map below shows what the CDC calls “seasonal flus”: All but three states have been affected; with the heaviest hit areas along the I-70 Interstate corridor that runs from Washington DC into Utah.
A major winter storm system is sweeping through the Midwest causing massive traffic snarls, shutting highways down, and forcing the closure of school and other essential services. Airline service is taking a bit hit, and the trucking industry has come to a near stand-still in the wake of the storms.
Texas and other southwest states are facing droughts this summer. There hasn't been enough snowpack in the Rocky Mountains to supply the Midwest corn-belt, or the southwester underground aquifers, with enough water. consequence is that farmers will not be able to irrigate their corn and wheat fields. Once again this will affect the supply-side of the equation, and those products will see a price hike this fall, if not earlier. It also affects beef production, but grain-fed cattle need the surplus corn that farmers sell. Beef and other herd-meat products will likewise experience rising prices.
There have been several reports arising out of South America that has alarmed many people. Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Panamanians have recorded what people are terming “Elijah’s Trumpet” call. This is the biblical trumpet blast that will be heard three times around the world before GOD unleashes the evil plagues which kills one third of mankind. A few scattered reports are seen from the USA, but nothing significant so far.
Other indicators
Earthquake are swarming all across the country
There are eleven volcanoes active around the globe
Three cyclone are hammering the Indian ocean
Small Pox, Cholera, and other diseases are rapidly becoming “Totally Resistant To Antibiotics” at an alarming rate. Lets not forget that H1N1 as well as H5N5 are still active right beside Ebola, SARS, and other flu’s creeping around the world. It is just a matter of time before a type of the Spanish Flu of 1913 remerges and becomes another genocidal killer of mankind. Considering the many rouge jihadist scientists that have an axe to grind with America and the West; it would be a devious way to rid the planet of God's children. Imagine a dozen medically infected martyrs arriving on America’s shores with a virus that has a two week incubation period, and then rapidly infects everyone that comes into contact with these people. Go watch the the movie “Contagion” to see what the government response would be. Scary stuff to be sure.
But amidst all of this gloom and doom, there is some good news as well: Survival groups are forming everywhere. Individual preppers are popping-up faster than clap through a whore-house; and The North American Survival Alliance is growing each day. It’s my personal hope that survivalist will embrace this FREE opportunity to reach out to other groups and preppers that are preparing for collapse of society, as well as natural disasters. In these highly unusual times it will be the small groups that flourish when others suffer. The question remains: are you willing to face these coming-times all by yourself, or would it be easier and safer to surround yourself with friends that “Got Yer’ Back” when SHTF.
