We live in a time where “convenience” is of utmost importance to the average Citizen. Obama was elected because the factors that allowed him to get elected were present. Although, everyone on here is informed and patriotic (well most everyone), no one is going to be the “rider in the night” sounding the alarm to rush forward and meet the British. Everyone is watching everyone else to see who moves, the problem with this is, those that we know are taking our liberty count on us to stand fast and watch. They are the ones with the power right now - to seize, to jail, to strip our rights away - all because not one of us wants to loose convenience in our lives. It would be different if we lived in the 1700’s where family and church were the only factors in our lives - at present, our enemies have allowed so much to be given that not one of us is willing to sacrifice our ownership of possessions and go up against DHS, TSA, or any of the other three letter agencies. We have become a large herd of cows being surrounded by a small pack of wolves in the middle of the night. I can tell you I’m ready - but I’m not willing to sacrifice my little boy in the hopes the majority of the public will join me...if we don’t vote these morons out of office in 2014 and 2016 - then we will reap what we have allowed to be sown.
I NEVER allowed myself to undergo the scanning at the airport (and I flew a lot). Because of people like me, they eventually took them out.
Regarding fighting the fight. This is not the 1700’s. Our founding fathers would have been shooting by now. But they would have been annihilated in days. The only way to fight now is to starve the beast. To outlast it. Well, that and enough of us need to be armed so that “gun behind every blade of grass” phrase has teeth.
I’ve been going Galt for almost a decade now. Yes, even with taxable income. The beast will run out of OPM. And then it will be very hard for everyone.
I moved from Seattle to a small farm I bought in central KY back in 2011 because of what I’ve seen as inevitable since around 2008. We’re focused on building structures, solar power, wind power, precious metals and self sufficiency when the time comes, though we don’t expect a full “Book of Eli” meltdown.
Those that are preparing for a 1776 confrontation are going to go the way of Waco, Ruby Ridge, et-al. The goal here is to simply survive the coming meltdown. The reason? The left won. Decades ago. They’ve only been ramping it up since then - and obviously exponentially in the last few years. But they have about run their course. Be prepared for the coming hyperinflation.
BTW, I just googled Dorner. He’s that black cop I heard about. I had just forgotten his name. I don’t care about him, but I am interested in the fate of the people who’s vehicles were shot up and a couple themselves were shot. But I see that as a local issue in California. And, with my attitude about California, that is simply a “dog bites man” story. Meh. In other news, Palistinians fire rockets at Israel.
Why the hell do you think I live in Kentucky (And I had ample opportunity to move to California)? I wrote off California ten years ago.
