Never fight a land war in Asia... If he prepares to defend the back, the front will be weak. If he prepares to defend the left, the right will be weak. If he prepares to defend the right, the left will be weak. If he prepares to defend everywhere, everywhere will be weak.. -Sun Tzu - The Art of War  Have you ever heard the saying..."Your writing a check your body can't cash?" I think all of us at one time or another have done things and said things that all come back to bite us in the end....

While you look at the left hand ... the right hand slapped you. "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller Distraction is the ultimate manipulation tool. And crisis is the perfect distraction. We use it with our kids, we use it with our spouses, we use it with our friends. We manipulate to get what we want... we manipulate for money, power, sex or to just get our way... it is part of our Sin nature. You may...

One Step Closer... "Conservatives and liberals are kindred spirits as far as government spending is concerned. ... Since government has no resources of its own, and since there’s no Tooth Fairy handing Congress the funds for the programs it enacts, we are forced to recognize that government spending is no less than the confiscation of one person’s property to give it to another to whom it does not belong -- in effect, legalized theft." Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics, George Mason University Have you ever heard of SB 3341? Probably not. Have you ever heard of the "Precious Metals...

A "Targeted" Distraction... "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Thomas Jefferson Do you really get it America? Do you really understand what you are about to invite into your lives? It is absolutely incomprehensible the level of stupidity that we are facing. Do you realize that your silence and inaction is running us toward "The Event"! Yes... today I am going to tackle the "Gun Control" debate. But to show you this isn't the really problem. I have been watching and waiting and trying to bide my time to be...

The Real Hunger Games... "The Government teaches the whole people by example. If the Government becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." - Louis D. Brandies, Supreme Court Justice. Do you remember when I posted this photo back in July? Do you remember the story behind it? Quick refresher... someone broke into my car to steal what ever they could. This particular post I named W.R.O.L, defined as, "without the rule of law". Oh my word... that post drew some heavy, very angry criticism....

A Glass Menagerie Society "We have seen that in this country in the last few years, particularly on Wall Street, with the rise of the old human frailty of greed. This occurs when people begin to serve only their own needs to the detriment of everyone else." Lee R. Raymond This week I was reminded how fragile of a society we are. As we watch the snow ball effect of the break up of the Eurozone and it's currency... we need to not forget of what is going to occur here soon if our leaders don't get their act together....

The Unbalanced Scales “When you are in deep conflict about something, sometimes the most trivial thing can tip the scales.” Ethel Merman What if this was your annual household budget? ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME: $21,700 What if this was what you spent? MONEY THE FAMILY SPENT: $38,200 What if you had a credit card... and you used it.... a lot? NEW DEBT ON THE CREDIT CARD: $16,500 BALANCE ON THE CREDIT CARD: $142,710 What if you only cut this from your budget? TOTAL HOUSE HOLD BUDGET CUTS: $385 Pretty crazy huh? It just doesn't make any fiscal sense at all huh?...

Count the cost.... and the consequences! "All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences than in its intentions." Reinhold Niebuhr - Writer / Philosopher I am constantly saying to my kids, "Think before you act...", "Don't be over zealous...", "Stay with the group", " Think about those around you! How will your decisions affect others?" But you know what... it has absolutely no effect on them...! They think they know better, so they touch the stove, or jump off that high thing, or they swing to fast, and not wear a helmet and then suffer the consequences because...

Going down in flames! "Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened." Ron Paul I'm really not messing around here... I have had several readers email me over the past month or so and ask me if I write these posts because I want to "rant" about the world, or because I am just angry with my life. I tell you it is neither... I am writing to try...

Ignore is part of the word "Ignorance" .... "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt." Barack Obama Sorry about the delays in posting... I took some vacation time... and now I am back, refreshed and ready to continue to wake up hearts and minds, now ... onto the post! Yes... I just quoted the current sitting President. No ... I don't approve of any...

Winter is coming.... The time will come when winter will ask you what you were doing all summer. - Henry Clay I love the story of the Little Red Hen. It is an amazing metaphor for what we truly should be looking for in our current society. It is what, "We The People" are missing on the most basic level. If you don't remember the story, here is a quick recap for you; Come on over to "The Event" to read more; http://www.preparespokane.blogspot.com/2012/08/winter-is-coming.html

Playing Zone “Offense”…. “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” -George Washington I am so offended! How many times have you said that over this past year? Was it a news story that made you mad? Did someone in your life make you mad? How about politics? That one always seems to set folks off. So… did you do anything about it? Did you call your favorite government official to voice your concern? Did you attend a rally to support the opposing cause? Or did you sit...

Clean Underwear .. check... What's next? The Event creeps closer... hour by hour ... day by day... What will be the tipping point be? World War III beginning with the invasion of Iran? The coming economic collapse? Flu pandemic? An EMP, a Solar Storm or Dirty Bomb? Are you prepared for the unexpected? It’s Tuesday so we’re talking about being prepared again. This is the second in our series about how to get you and your family ready or anything unexpected! Last week in my post, “Mom always told you to put on clean underwear” we talked discussed the evaluation...

You are not special… America… here is ugly truth… you are not special. You are not better than anyone else. There is nothing you can do better than anyone else. Everyone is just like you. You are not faster, smarter, prettier, or more special in the eyes man and God. But somehow you still think so. Check this video out... Depressing huh? This young ladies parents are doing her a huge disservice. By telling her that she is good at what she is doing is actually really, really bad for her. It is a false sense of hubris. I can't...

“Denial” is not a river in Egypt… "In other periods of depression, it has always been possible to see some things which were solid and upon which you could base hope, but as I look about, I now see nothing to give ground to hope—nothing of man." - Former President Calvin Coolidge, 1932 I had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone who has just recently started to get their head around this idea of coming “The Event”. She had an interesting viewpoint on why so many people are offering up resistance to this idea of what's coming. “People continue to...

People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Road I don’t think you really get how serious things are becoming. I want you to take a moment and look at this photo. Do you know where this is? This is India over the past two days. According to Associated Press, Reuters and other sources today there is 600 million people without power. 600 Million People! That is equal to the entire population of North America and Central America! Can...

“From My Cold Dead Hand!!!” The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson As you read the first lines of this post you may think… “Geez Jay… enough with the gun control issue already!" Well my friends… today’s post really isn’t about that at all… it’s about the bigger picture of our given rights and how we are systematically loosing them rapidly. Yes… that’s right… your losing them faster than you think. Our rights are important. They are the...

“Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.” - Eric Hoffer (American Writer 1902 – 1983) Some times as I write to you it can be extremely overwhelming to understand how, or even what to write about. This is just so much truth to spread, just picking one item just sometimes make me feel very inadequate. I want to wake you up. I need to wake you up. You have to wake up. I cannot stop. People’s lives are at stake....

Ah…everybody ready? It Elections time! Time for the blowhards of Washington to come down from their overpriced Ivory Tower and begin to tell the sweet big and little lies to the surfs to try and sway your votes to them. Doesn’t that just sound like fun? No? Why not…? Isn’t hours of political rhetoric and lies sound like fun? No… well how about this..? How about I offer an insight that could offer a more sound view point on the whole circus? First off, it doesn’t matter what you want!
