“The People of This Country… Will Take to The Streets”
SHTF Plan ^ | 4/5/13 | Mac Slavo

We are rapidly approaching a situation in this country where the majority of Americans will not be able to acquire the basic necessities for life. With tens of millions of people unemployed, living in poverty and struggling just to make ends meet, it’s a wonder that the system hasn’t already collapsed in on itself.

For the time being government social safety nets have kept the restless at bay by providing assistance for food, medical care and housing. In fact, nearly half of Americans receive some form of benefit or distribution from the government on a monthly basis.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is relentlessly expanding our monetary base while the US government borrows unfathomable amounts of money just to stay afloat and maintain a perception of stability.

I haven't...but I hear they are all very tasty. Much better than farm raised pork.

I am not a hunter (though a very good shot with a rifle)...but thanks to Obama, that may change soon.

I don’t think people will take to the streets until the EBT cards are turned off.

And I think that will be timed for July 1st.

Yeah, when the “free stuff” spigot shuts off.

Till then, the sheeple will continue to graze blissfully.

I think I’d choose 1855 to 1925 in America...

For me it would be about 1760 to 1845.

That isn't fair, I was going to be a non-smoking vegetarian and that should count for 15 more years, or at least make it feel like it was dragging on for 15 years longer.

All of them are tasty if you take them at the right time of the year, know how to clean them and cook them.

It’s best not to take a pig when there are a lot of green acorns and pecans on the ground. If you can, wait until they are dry then take your pig. Even then it’s best to trim the fat before you cook it.

“1900 - 1970.

From the Wright Brothers to Apollo.”

With a little hustling, you could be in the right places for some of the most significant moments of the 20th Century. Think of the photographs and diaries!

And to you and yours.

Congregating with like minded people is going to be all important.

Thanks for the good advice. It makes sense. Not as gamey.

And the discoveries of the Oil Patch, and the Crash of 1929, and the start dates of the World Wars, and the defense industries, and the Roswell crash, and the economic boom of the 50’s...
