I can't remember a time in my life when I have felt so desperate for our country. Everywhere I look there are articles, TV shows, movies and Internet postings by the thousands that are advocating a survivalist mentality. Back in the 1980's and 90's people used to call people that were becoming survivalists, wackos, bigots (because there were mostly white people adopting this attitude and now EVERYONE is thinking that way) and a host of other names that denoted insanity because many of us though the junk was going to hit the fan then. Of course, that was trillions of dollars ago, and now, with lay offs from major corporations, massive taxes on the horizon, and a shut down of government offices, we are more afraid than ever.
The Political Climate is Getting Nastier
If you look at the family as the nucleus of a civil government, you can see the same model at work on a smaller level. Mom and Dad hate each other's guts and are blaming the heck out of each other for whatever mess they are in. Ask any marriage counselor what the #1 reason for divorce is, and usually the counselor will answer, "Money." Once money becomes an issue in a family, the parents usually result to name calling and finger pointing, much like the Republicans and Democrats are doing now. Over time, if the money doesn't start rolling in again, both parties will hate each others guts while the children (in this case, the American people) watch in horror. Heck, there may be a divorce (civil war) to settle the matter.
Many people with common sense can see this coming and THEY are preparing. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out, but let's take a look at it in a practical manner.
Currently here is an approximation of the government's numbers:
Us taxpayers revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal Budget: 3,820,000,000,000
New debt: 1,650,000,000,000
National debt: 14,271,000,000,000
Recent budget cuts: 38,5400,000,000
Now to puts these figures into a manner a family can relate to:
Annual family income: $21,700
Money the family spent already: $38,200
New debt on their credit card: $16,500
Outstanding Balance on the credit card: $142,710
Total budget cuts so far: $3.85
Let's just add to the fact that the United Nations wants the US to give out billions to lesser developed countries starting this year and that the media has not made any bones about telling us all about Taxameggdon which is coming in January.
But hey let's look on the bright side! You also have a war looming in the middle east to take your minds off of it, so, what the heck.
Now, I'm Writing about Survival
Since eminent doom is at our doorstep (at least on a financial level) I am committed to writing less about politics and more about survival strategies and people that know about them. All across the country , people known as "Preppers" are getting ready for a calamity and it makes no sense to keep dwelling on how these parties are different or how they can do things differently, if they aren't going to change anything!
Instead of reaction we need to take action, so each post I'll publish different survival ideas and ways you can get your family ready for the coming collapse when it occurs.
As most of you know, recently there was a national restaurant chain that was under massive criticism from gay-rights activists. The founder of the restaurant was severely chastised by people that believed in homosexual marriages because he made the statement that he believed in traditional marriages (one man and one woman). Everyone from politicians to Hollywood television and movie stars came out and voiced their extreme displeasure with the fact that this man had made a statement that they felt was "repugnant". Several cities shut down the restaurants and refused to give them business licenses based on the company's founder's opinion.
As a result, a national politician went on a television show and supported the founder and his ability to have freedom of speech and opinion and millions of people flooded the restaurant for a day to purchase chicken sandwiches offered by the company in support of the founder. ( If you don't know the one talking about, you must be living under a rock.) However, despite the fact that this was a successful campaign to show this gay coalition that freedom of speech and opinion should not be subdued by a small group of people with a political agenda, I personally feel that it is a hollow victory for the people supporting the restaurant and its founder.
America Is in a State of Denial
The thing that distresses me more than anything else about this issue, is the fact that Christians are being demonized in America and have been for some time. And now, it seems as though no matter how bad the problems get in America we are more focused on minutia than anything else. The people that came out against the national restaurant and protested it are so brainwashed they cannot even see how bad things are getting in this country. I highly doubt that the reason we are working from sunup to sundown to pay taxes is because of this national restaurant. I highly doubt that this restaurant and its founder's opinion has anything to do with America getting involved in another war in Syria and Iran. I highly doubt that the reason why gas prices are escalating as quickly as they are is because the founder of this company had an opinion about traditional marriage. But this crowd of individuals, who have the time to get politically activated and motivated to change things in a direction that they deem to be important, are missing critical issues that do need attention.
Notice how this "man" treats this young Christian girl in this video.
What Homosexuals and Gay Activists Should Really Worry about
War in the Middle East
Right now, as we speak the President of the United States is having critical meetings as to what United States should do in case the country of Iran is hiding nuclear weapons. Now, I don't know if you remember correctly, but the Democrats and the liberals (not to pick sides, because Republicans do stupid things too) jumped all over George Bush because he was looking for "weapons of mass distraction" in Iraq. Well, the United States and its intelligence gathering organizations are not sure whether or not Iran has the nuclear weapons, but the United States under Barack Obama is planning to take military action against Iran for the same thing. Now, here is what these "intelligent" gay activists are missing. If a war cranks up with Iran, there is a very serious possibility that the United States government will have to draft people into the service to fight this war. United States military is at critical mass right now and cannot be spread out anymore. Not to mention the fact, that right now, in Iran and Iraq, there are Chinese and Soviet soldiers because this is where these countries get a large bulk of their oil from. Do you think for one minute they're going to let us just roll in there and ruin their oil reserves and business they are doing with Iran? And by the way, because gay activists wanted equality in the workplace, to include the military, you can no longer use your homosexuality to get out of the military when there is a draft. That's right, you will be drafted right along with everybody else, because it's normal now.
Immigration
Another major issue that the gay activists should be worried about is the fact that because America has adopted a very loose immigration policy and people that immigrate here illegally now can get citizenship just by walking across the border, we are now probably going to get flooded from every corner on the face of the earth to include Middle Eastern countries that are Islamic. If you go onto the Internet and check out what the laws about being homosexual and a typical Islamic country like Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt etc. You will find that homosexuality is against the law and in many cases punishable by death. Now, even if the economy in America gets much worse, (which is another major issue that many of these people should be focused on rather than the opinion of one man and his chicken restaurant) the lifestyle of this country is much better than many of those countries are and those people will continue to flood into here. Do you honestly think they are going to give up their way of life and their way of seeing things without trying to change them here in the United States? As a matter of fact, here is a video excerpt of an event that occurred in Washington DC recently:
The Economy
America is a financial wreck. Why these individuals aren't down on Wall Street screaming bloody murder about all the corruption that goes on there is beyond me. You have CEOs of companies that literally took millions of dollars out of the taxpayers hands and ran off with it without even getting a slap on the back of the hand. You have corporations that took bailout money from the American people and sent their labor to China (which has been a reported absolute fact) but we're worried about Mr. Chicken and his opinion on traditional marriage. You have politicians right now that are planning the dissolving of our democratic republic and merging us with Canada and Mexico while issuing a new currency called the "Amero". And by the way, when the government favors certain businesses over other businesses, it is the same thing that Adolf Hitler did in Germany, and that is called fascism.
The Bottom Line: Denial
Whenever I point these facts out about how important and basically life-and-death that these issues are to everybody, the gay supporters and liberal people still shake their heads and say, "you're just making all this stuff up". I wish to God that I was, but I am not and all of these facts are easy to check out, especially with the advent of the Internet. I don't want you to believe a thing I'm telling you, just check it out for yourself and see whether not I am telling the truth. But most of you will will continue to live in the land of denial which is a very, very dangerous trip. If you are standing in the middle of a train track and I'm screaming at you "get off the track" and you keep telling me that there is no train coming, when it's 50 feet away from you, what can I or anyone else do? And because your ego and pride is so enormous, you don't ever want to admit that you're wrong about anything even when I give you direct links to very credible sources and show you videos of exactly what I am talking about, you still will not believe it.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate anyone and I certainly don't think that your sexuality should be a crime. Personally, I don't give a darn about what anybody does behind closed doors, because I don't have any control over it anyway, and it's none of my business. But it does become my business when you bring it out in the open and stuff it in my face and tell me I have to accept your sexuality. I keep my sexuality at my house with the person I have chosen to spend my life with and it is nobody else's business and I don't talk about it with anyone. I don't take displays of affection to public places because I respect everybody's decency and the fact that they don't want or care to know about how I feel towards my wife. (I guess I could make a big issue about how I go to the bathroom and other bodily functions, but I have a life and I don't really need to go there).
We Are Finished
As I see it, America is finished and the primary reason is because everybody is in a state of denial. Right now the United States has been technically bankrupt since 1995 and there've actually been books written about this. If America goes into a financial collapse, and its currency is deemed as worthless by the world community, we are in big trouble and quite frankly I worry about that every day. But, if the majority of the American people are more worried about a man's opinion and his ability to sell chicken sandwiches, we are in a total state of denial and we cannot save America.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~ Ronald Reagan
America is probably the most unique country the world has ever seen. If you don't believe me, just go on down to your public library and start reading world history. I have a world history timeline that I unfold and show to my history students every year. A timeline is a graphic representation of events usually presented in chronological order. (To get a good idea of what one looks like, here is an example.)
The timeline I show my students is quite extensive, and every year I have to admire the workmanship and research put into it. It charts world history from its earliest known origins to almost present day. It also shows events that have occurred on every part of the planet, from Asian cultures to American. It is an incredible representation. As a matter of fact, I just happened to find a small part of the timeline here. Take a look:
The image above is from the timeline "Wall Chart of World History" by Edward Hull. This graphic representation can be unfolded to its 30 foot length and each line of this representation is a different part of the world.
Now, here's the scary part.
If you take a look at the very end of this unfolded 30 foot timeline and representation of world history, you will see something interesting. Take a look at this:
The circled area above represents something very important. This area represents the most freedom that humans have ever had in recorded world history. This is the only spot in time, on this part of a measly planet, (which is located out in the middle of nowhere) that people have had control over their lives. This is a tiny space in the history of the entire world wherein people can call their leaders public servants, own weapons to protect themselves from enemies, build businesses without encumbrances, worship God in the manner that they so desire, and have their own will in the way that they live their lives.
The entire rest of this massive 30 foot timeline represents tyrannies, oligarchies, monarchies, dictatorships, war, suffering and slavery the likes of which we can only imagine. It represents the only time on a world scale that a government was created for the benefit of the people rather than the benefit of a single ruler or small collection of privileged people. A unique system that has every counter balance in place so as to protect the freedoms and liberties of the people it is sworn to uphold, even from their own mob-rule.
That red circle represents the United States of America.
Whew! We are finally on a roll folks! Thestock market has reboundedand we can go back to drinking our high fructose corn syrup and watching endless hours of sports or reality television! Hey, how about those Kardasians, huh?
And while we're at it, how about Hillary Clinton shaking her finger at the Russians over placing "supposed" helicopters in Iran. Man, I be that scared the H-E- Double - Hockey - Sticks out of those Russkies! I bet Putin is pootin' in his drawers over that one!!!
But, like I say, America is on a rebound! Let's look at some statistics:
According to Credit Suisse, Switzerland's main bank, just 10 years ago, the US was ranked number one in wealth per adult it is now ranked at number 7 and falling! But, don't worry, Lindsay Lohan will be better after her most recent car crash, so you should all feel better.
India, which was in poverty-land just 20 years ago because of bad decisions from their leaders, is now projected to surpass the U.S. in prosperity. It probably has to something to do with the fact that the Unidos Estados (might as well get used to calling it that...) has shipped out some 42,400 factories (some of them withYOUR stimulus money) to all parts of the world. As a matter of fact, the U.S. has lost 32% of its manufacturing base since 2000.
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-trade-deficit-nightmare
But don't worry, Presidente Obama has executive orders and he can just over - ride congress anytime he wants to fix things. After all, the Constitution is just a piece of paper, according to our leaders.
Gee, it is too bad, that America'strade deficitwith China has jumped a staggering 300% between the years 2000 to 2009, and the fact that the trade deficitis running about 40 to 50 billion dollars a month.
But like I said, things are looking up America. If we don't like what Barack is doing in the White House, we can always elect Mittens, because he will save us..Won't he???
You know, it really doesn’t bother me when people living in
this country need a hand; we are
Americans and we should take care of each other if we can. (Of course, that is if you legitimately need
help and hopefully you will get off whatever assistance that you are on
eventually. I can’t imagine anyone
wanting to be on government assistance long - term and go through that rather
degrading process all of the time, but that’s just me.) What gets to me, is the fact that the people
in America, those whose ancestors shed blood on this soil to protect and
institute freedoms that no one else in history has ever had, or ever will have,
are taking a back seat to the rest of the world.
The fund will be replenished every 3 years, which means that the American tax payer will be paying indefinitely on this “tax” ....
I mean, it’s bad enough our military is in over 150
countries all over the world constantly fighting everyone else’s battles, but
now our illustrious leaders in Washington take money from us in the form of taxes
and just dole it out to whoever they want. Take the WorldBank Fund for example. Here we have
the United States government giving poor underdeveloped nations 3.2 billion
dollars in what would be basically called global welfare. The fund will be replenished every 3 years,
which means that the American tax payer will be paying indefinitely on this “tax”
for as long as the World Bank deems it is necessary.
So, Americans aren’t just paying for welfare
at home, we are paying for the rest of the world. Let us not forget that taxes, funds, or
whatever, rise just about every year, so while the American economy is taking a
dive we are handing out money to countries that have been in povertyville
since the dawn of man.
Now, we have another financial hemorrhage in the form of
taxes for Americans. You may remember
back in 2008 when the “Big Three” automotive corporations GM, Chrysler, and
Ford were on the verge of bankruptcy. That
bailout, believe it or not, was initiated by George W. Bush for 17.2 billion dollars
and designated to be handed out by the next administration under Obama. By the time Obama became president, the “Big
Three” had to file for bankruptcy and the auto makers took 25 Billion in loans. One of the companies that took that bailout
money, General Motors (GM) was able to stay solvent and prosper in America, or
did they really?
American companies that move their operations overseas get a
tax break that American companies that stay in America don’t get.
As it turns out this past week,GM announced that it was making three new models of Cadillac vehicles and
they will be made in China. So basically,
what our leadership in Washington did was it took tax dollars away from the
American tax payer in an effort to save jobs and the economy, and what GM
actually did was invest that money in China.
Isn’t it nice to know that your tax dollars are fueling the Chinese
economy?
The really incredible part about all of this
is that rather than tell the Congress to tax the rich more, we should demand
that GM give those tax dollars back, with interest. Rather than constantly telling Americans
that they have to pay their fair share, why isn’t there a complaint about
taxing the companies that have left America and moved their operations to other
countries? American companies that move
their operations overseas get a tax break that American companies that stay in
America do not get. And while we are at it, why aren’t we
screaming bloody murder over the World Fund which is a lobal tax that we will
have to pay in the billions every three years, rather than looking at raising
more taxes oin Americans that are at home trying to make it?
Let’s face it, Americans would rather attack each other and
tax each other to death, than demand that the congress and senate take
care of their own.
In the year 2011 alone, President Barack Obama has enacted 34 Presidential Executive Orderswhich basically bypasses the congress and the senate and thereby rendering the balance of powers outlined in the U.S. Constitution useless.
The President of the United States is using a power that was originally intended for an extreme emergency to over-ride the congress and senate and push any agenda through that he deems necessary.
Please Get Educated...
For those of you not familiar with the balance of powers and how they are supposed to work, you need to get educated with the way our complex political system works, or at least get a book out on the subject. It is no secret that the American people have been dumbed - down and made stupid by the government-run education system that is preparing all of us to become slaves of a tyrannical system. Most people in America today do not understand how their own government works, and therefore they don't even know when the law makers and law enforcers themselves are breaking the laws.
The President of the United States is using a power that was originally intended for an extreme emergency to over-ride the congress and senate and push any agenda through that he deems necessary. As a matter of fact, one of the last executive orders Mr. Obama issued was to modify the role of executive orders and make give himself monarch-like powers. (I didn't use the term "dictator" because he hasn't used military power to overthrow the government...yet!) Now, the precedent has been set and actually announced by Mr. Obama himself, that he can use these powers in non-emergency situations.
My point is, if the President is going to be able to jump over the congress and senate any time he wants to, then why do we need them? After all, we are spending tons of time and money supporting these individuals and their retirements, why don't we just get rid of them since they have no say in the rules our benevolent monarch imposes on our people in the first place?
Besides that, Americans have the mindset of a socialistic government system, wherein they will work from sun up to sun down like slaves, supporting the rest of the world anyway, so what does it matter? We are now paying global taxes by way of the Global Poverty Fund and very soon after we implode the economy and devalue the American dollar to the point of worthlessness we will be a part of a socialist/communist world government that is hell bent on making YOU their personal slave and treating YOU as a mere resource, to be discarded whenever YOU are no longer able to do their bidding.
I do not understand human beings. People will kill and die for an ideal and then a couple of years later they will give up their rights with out a single complaint. If it wasn't bad enough that the President of the United States can sign one executive order after the other and then use them to basically establish dictatorial powers, we now have people OUTSIDE of our government telling us what we are going to do with our lives.
Just this past week, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, told Congress that the U.N. can declare war for the United States without congressional approval. In other words, you as an American, have no rights when it comes to getting drafted into a war because the U.N. supersedes our Congress. Now, I know all you liberal college students that think Obama is the coolest thing in the world since John F. Kennedy, (Who, by the way, was the first to put troops into Vietnam. As a matter of fact Kennedy said, " "America should pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." ) even at the expense of losing all of your civil liberties. However, if I remember correctly, liberals, college students, and Democrats are supposed to be all about civil liberties and the ability to get the government to back off and let your hair down.
So, it is a surprise to me that the very people that claim they want everything from freedom of expression on the Internet to legalizing drugs are allowing a President of the U.S. to basically wipe out our civil liberties with a mere stroke of a pen. And the bizarre part of this whole thing is the fact that no matter how many freedoms he manages to take away from you, you still love everything he does.
Don't Open Your Mouth or You Might Get Arrested
In the last couple of days, President Obama has signed another law called the Anti-Protest Trespass Bill (HR 347) stating that anyone that yells anything at a political person in the United States that is under the guard of the Secret Service can be arrested for a federal offense on the spot. In other words Mr. and Ms. liberal America, if you have a political rally and a political official comes in to disrupt your event, then it is alright, but the second that you do it to them, you have committed a federal offense. Don't believe me? See it here: Obama Signs Anti-Protest Bill
But, I don't think any of you liberal college students will care about any of this as long as it is your buddy Barack putting it all into place. That is, until a hard line conservative gets into office and can pull the same shenanigans because it is now a law. Of course the argument is always, " Well, they have already had similar laws in place!" as if that makes it right.
I can't wait for the elitists on both sides of the aisle in Washington decide to take the Internet away from you. (Your good democrat, buddy Harry Reid is working on that one, as we speak.) You will really know that your freedom loving lifestyle will be flushed away when that happens, but as long as it is a cool, liberal, democrat taking your rights away, it will be totally cool, man. After all, it's all about our freedom, isn't it?
