If You are Scared, You are Not Prepared

If you are scared, you are not prepared.
I know that sounds like a simple statement and it is. For every day since September 11, 2001 the American people have been under some type of threat it seems. First it was the Islamofacist threat which has not gone away, but put on the back shelf in the public’s mind thanks to the MSM and the lack of a successful attack since that dark day. Then it seems that every month had a new threat from Mother Nature like Katrina or a major earthquake, a tsunami or a drought. Now the long forecast financial crisis is upon us and a lot of people are freaking out.
I say again, if you are scared after all this, then you did not listen and get prepared.
The first preparation everyone should have undertaken is peace with the Lord. I know I’ve done all that I humanly can to make my peace and accept the Lord to have the spiritual base for what is occurring. Have you done that? Have you looked inward to insure that your heart, your soul and your beliefs are strong? I’m no preacher nor perfect by any stretch of the imagination and with the warts on my personality and shortcomings as a human it does not mean I’m right or wrong in every situation we are facing. But I accept my destiny one way or another and hopefully have the inner strength to deal with where we are at historically.
The people who are scared had best look inward first and not to COSTCO.
Next, you hopefully have already made the grocery runs that are necessary. After over two years of warnings that this day would come, you have to consider the dangers, the risks and the threats to our J.I.T. transportation system. The price of fuel is slowly declining but not diesel as rapid as gasoline. Food production and transportation is at risk even as we banter back and forth as farmers are concerned about the viability of the model they engaged in which sadly is their own fault as they enslaved their futures to that of the government and the banksters. If you followed the FEMA plan you have enough plastic sheeting to paint a mansion and tuna to feed a cat for three days. If you listened to all of the souls on radio and the message boards, blogs and other internet sites, you have a three month plus supply and look at this situation we are in with a sense of foreboding yes, but popcorn in hand. You are in the middle of history and sad as it is, a participant. Panic for preparing with supplies at the last minute by loading up on food and spending cash you could use elsewhere in the future is a sign that you may have listened but you did not act. For those that did, get the butter lovers popcorn as that is the best.
Can you protect your family?
I have read and listened to many souls who claim that “there’s no way my neighbors would ever rob me of my goods so I don’t sweat that.” Really? You’ve had more indications that that myth does not work. Katrina was test tube version number one. The problems along our border with Mexico is test tube version number two. Human nature, despite centuries of education and technical achievement always reverts back to the basics and if you need evidence of the risk of trying to defend one’s property with a baseball bat versus a firearm, just remember; if you’re outgunned, you are dead as is your family in all likelihood. Can you look your wife, your children, yourself in the eyes and say “I’ve done all I can?” I realize not everyone can afford a firearm but you had best have a friend that does and make sure you keep that friendship tight. We are not in a position as a society to accept that a breakdown in order will be an episode of “Leave it to Beaver” where everyone smiles, prays and just bakes an apple pie to get a long. The animals are out there and they will want in. And it can happen to anyone, anywhere. The Founding Fathers did not include the second amendment as an exercise in futility or statement of support for the firearms industry. It is there due to the threat of an abusive central government or the animals on two legs or four.
Lastly, there has been a lot of banter about the viability of owning precious metals. If we enter a deflationary depression, which is now a risk if the Fed does not act in the next forty-eight hours, the price should theoretically crater. I say “theoretically” because nobody but Jim Sinclair and a few others have proposed the opposite and historically proper possibility: What if all the fiat currencies crater first?
That means that a viable form of universal currency will have to fill the void until all the paper can be replaced. Is it a realistic possibility that we will witness the introduction of a new universal one world currency ahead of schedule? You betcha.
It is also possible that the Fed will elect to commit the ultimate act of dollar homicide and agree to buy any type of paper and support every bank in the known sphere of the American universe. There has been so much speculation about the collapse of the dollar that it should no longer be a question of “if” but “when” as the system unwinds. This means the possession of some type of viable alternative to a paper currency is a safe, sane and logical step for anyone who has read the numerous postings and warnings. It is not as if the banking system problems were not recognized when the the price of gold was back at $450. Will it skyrocket? Who knows and who cares. I’m not here to preach investment ideology, this is about survival. And at some point, as in the Weimar Republic fiasco, gold and silver will be a recognized viable currency and just a little bit of it might take you a long way in the disaster upon us.
Just remember history’s unwritten rule:
Those with the alternative currency that everyone recognizes usually survives hard times the best.
So do not get suckered by the “gold confiscation” tinfoil nutcases, it won’t happen. The new order of the banking system and their ultimate goal has been to create a digital universal currency to insure control over the populations of the world and now that it is technologically feasible, watch for it to happen sooner rather than later.
So that’s it gang. Fear is natural, but I prefer the nervous anticipation with a bag of fresh hot buttered popcorn. Not for a great movie, but the greatest show in history, our lives, our nation, our world. Let us not be scared of what is next, but ready to greet each day like another. The warnings have been out there for ages. If you are still scared, look inward and quickly. If after that, the fear does not subside, you have no worries; FEMA will be there for you and your family. And MREs are best consumed with lots of Tobasco sauce or ketchup.
No matter what, pray. That is the one thing they can not tax or take away from you, no matter how prepared or unprepared you are.
Good Luck and God Bless!
