They come and go all these years. Apparently, it paid their mortgage and sent their kids to college. Rinse and repeat with the NEW generation for the same ol’ thing. I suppose it will come – ONE DAY.

If this country doesn’t start to recover by 2025, it’s pretty much over for us as a constitutional republic; what comes next is anybody’s guess, but it ain’t gonna be good. All the prepping in the world won’t save you for what’s potentially coming down the road.

“Not to worry, I’ll simply live off my little farm and learn how to survive off -the-grid”. Great, and how many of us have enough land to do that? And if you DO have the land, what makes you think you’ll be allowed to live there? In the coming dystopian future, private ownership of ANYTHING, let alone productive farm land, will either be outlawed by govt. decree or outright stolen at gun point by roving bands of heavily-armed nomads.

OK, I’ll come right out and say it: PREPPING IS AN ESCAPIST FANTASY! I’m not talking about stocking up on toilet paper on sale, a 24-can case of tomato soup, or the kinds of stuff to carry you over for six months, maybe a year. I’m talking about our failure to DEAL WITH THE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS of our rapidly-declining nation. Right, let’s all run out to our little fantasy farms and live like our great-great-grandfathers.

Totally “off-the-grid”, oh really? And what happens when one of your kids gets sick and needs some basic medicines like antibiotics? You ain’t gonna have ANY of that stuff, because basic medicines won’t be available at all, and especially not to YOU! You’re an off-gridder, you’re not in the big club! You refused to participate in the brave new society, so you won’t have access to any of its “benefits”. Check out the average lifespan of an adult living in the 1870’s, that’s the kind of lifestyle you’ll have.

I DON’T WANT THAT LIFE STYLE!! I wanna buy my milk in a convenient plastic gallon jug at the local grocery just down the street. I grew up on a farm, I know all bout what it takes to maintain a milk cow. It’s not my thing, why should it be? Some people have freely chosen to be in that business, I choose to buy my food at the store.

Generations before me worked and struggled to develop the complex layers of modern technologies we enjoy today; things like refrigeration, electricity, the lightbulb, central heating & air conditioning, milking machines, tractors, harvesters, the telephone, 401K’s, IRA’s, cataract surgery, Starbucks, the computer, and the internet I’m enjoying right now. WHY SHOULD I GIVE UP ALL THESE THINGS?!!!!!!!

STOP BEING ESCAPIST COWARDS! Stop planning for mere survival and start planning how to fight back. The Marxist elitists have to eat too. Start with passive resistance. Refuse to get “vaccinated”, refuse to wear a mask. Be more judicious as to where you spend your money, spend it locally, patronize small family-owned businesses, screw Wally-Word, Targets, McDonald’s and all the other wokey-woke corrupted corporations.

Get educated, be aware of what’s going on in the world. I spend 90-min a day just perusing some two dozen news and financial websites to see what’s going on. I print out articles I don’t have time to read at the moment, put them in my “stack” to read while eating out.

STOP PREPPING FOR SURVIVAL, TIME TO START PREPPING FOR WAR.

Preparation, for (whatever purpose) is essential. You can rotate your stores.

You mentioned nuclear war. Know why that hasn’t happened? PREPARATION for it – a strong military, a sound game plan, and assurance of a better survival rate than the enemy. The enire premise for preparation is to be ready and able to handle a situation and survive. Get it? If it never happens, great. If it does and you’re NOT prepared … well, you figure it out.

Yet.
