I’ve passed all that and am now in full-blown panic mode. I’ve got a shopping list three pages (double columns) long and not enough cash.
The part that scares me the most is my son. He’s a Type 1 diabetic and he won’t survive a complete collapse for long.
If I only knew how much time we had. I kept thinking that things would fall apart in two years or so. Now it’s going so fast that I don’t know if we’ll even make it through the summer.
Can you stock up on his insulin? I know a lot of people who have gotten duplicate prescriptions by making a trip to the ER and visiting more than one pharmacy. Anything for survival at this point. Freepmail me. I might have other suggestions. I’m in the medical field.
The consequence of this election was we(American people) gave total power to the *pigs in our government.
The day after the election, Nov. 5th, I got out of the market, withdrew my 401k, stopped my IRA and got out. Friends, family, and folks here called me a fool at the time. Looking back, I would have lost over 50% since Nov. 5th, not including what had already been lost. 10% penalty compared to 50% loss...eh...I'm grateful I made that choice.
I started talking about the nationalization of the banks by this early spring. Looking and observing what is happening now...it will happen. The banking holiday is coming. When they are done, even if it was in your savings account it will have lost 2/3’s of its value.
The talk of confiscation of retirement accounts ...to protect the people from loss...
The Fairness Doctrine and bailout monies. The control of the propaganda spewed to the American People. It quiets the talk of revolt and reason.
The purposeful bankruptcy of electrical providers and natural gas companies through the carbon emission programs.
Nothing financially is off the table for these pigs. They know by making your money...not yours they crush the American Spirit. They know they must do this quickly, while people are in panic mode financially, while people are not sure what to do with their money.
The longer they can keep the American psyche destabilized, the better their grab for power.
When we, the American People, find our confidence in ourselves again we will take the control of our lives back. When we the people start believing we can survive this, we still can succeed inspite of them, that is when they start to lose the power.
We're all scared right now to some extent. People all around me are hoarding food, buying guns, even installing home water purification systems. It is all modes of panic and insecurity about the future. Our guts are telling us what is happening is bad, is wrong, is evil and the train is about to jump the tracks, the tunnel is filling with smoke that will kill us.
What should we do right now? First we need to sit-down with ourselves and decide which principals we truly believe in. We may find some that are not really applicable any longer and some we will adopt.
Start pulling our family closer. Family is our first layer of the network of survival.
Get to know your neighbors. It doesn't have to be with talk of gloom etc., but a simple get together for coffee. C’mon over for the game this afternoon on TV, a wave as you pull out the driveway.
Medicine. I take prescription meds. daily. Right now I am calling in refills every 2-3 weeks, before I was stretching the 1 month allotment to two months. This will work for now, but when the 0bama administration regulations kick in...?
Plan for the worst. That is hard as it often results in panic, but we're not too the worst... yet. I am planning more even after realizing my short-term is looking more like long-term. I am learning to can foods, grow foods and trying to figure out a supply network.
